The September Holidays are Here!

Written on 1^st of September, 9:54 PM

A very warm welcome to all of you people out there who’s reading this blog post. August has ended, and with that comes a new month. The fasting month, or else known as Ramadhan month, has also ended. To my fellow Muslim friends, I would like to say Happy Eid Mubarak, may Allah bless us all. To everyone reading this that knows me, I’d also like to ask for forgiveness for all the wrongdoings I’ve committed in the past.

This year is the first year that I am not able to spend Hari Raya Idul Fitri with my family. Yes, it’s sad. But my Dad always says that ‘happiness is a choice,’ and I choose to be happy on that day. I didn’t do much; I went to Kinokuniya and bought a book, ‘A Game of Thrones’ George R. R. Martin. It’s been a habit of mine to only buy one book at a time (or at the most, 2 books). I saw this girl who bought like, 6 or 7 books. She was looking at the shelves and spotted a book that she has read before, and she said “Oh! I’ve read this book!” and just like that, she plucked the sequels to that book and gave it to her mother. Guess what? I envy her so much -_-. I wish I had the liberty to buy books whenever I want to. My dad would never let me do that… He does like reading and has even said that he would rather buy me tons of books than spend the money on food. But I do agree on him that I shouldn’t buy 7 books at once… Take it steady. Don’t have the habit of buying so many books that in the end won’t be read at all. The same goes for clothes. I’m not the type to go shopping with my friends; in fact I’ve never bought any form of clothing with my friends. I always do it with my mom around; as I believe that she knows what is best and appropriate for me. There’s a person I know who loves to go shopping, and said that some of them haven’t even been worn yet!

When I came back to school after the long 4 days break, I was called in English class to help Mr Muru demonstrate what Muslims do during Hari Raya Idul Fitri. Mr Muru then proceeded to asking me what I did during that day, and he asked “Oh is your family here with you?” “No…” “No? Do you have relatives here?” “Umm… No.”He really seemed to be concerned with my situation, and as a result of it all, he arranged for the class to gather at Haiqal’s house after school the next day. He was talking about how getting good grades is not the only important thing in the world, being there for your friends is another thing. So I guess the whole gathering thing was also to cheer me up as I didn’t celebrate Eid Mubarak with my family. Mr Muru and 4E2, if you are reading this, I would like to say thank you very much for the concern and kindness. I’m a shy person so I don’t really express my feelings much, but when I do, I really say it from the bottom of my heart J

That brings me to the next topic, Teacher’s Day Celebration. Tomorrow, 2^nd of September is the day when we celebrate Teacher’s Day (in Singapore), so tomorrow is a school holiday, and today is only a half-school day as we’re celebrating it. I was planning to make cards for every teacher as I did last year. I did make the cards… but I didn’t give it to the teachers. I rushed while doing it (just did it the night before… wanted to do it earlier but didn’t have any ideas!) and I don’t think that it was neat enough to give it to the teachers K I know that actually it’s the effort that counts, but I don’t want to give them crappy work either… It shows that you didn’t really put much effort into it. So dear teachers, I would like to thank you for being such an amazing teacher and also being a very inspirational figure to me. The 1 year and 3 months I have spent in Pei Hwa has been a hell of a ride, and I genuinely enjoyed it. I am grateful to have such awesome teachers and I hope that you are proud to have me as your student. Sincerely, Indira Pranabudi.

So this brings me to the title of this post. The SEPTEMBER HOLIDAYS! Yeay! I’m going home to Indonesia tomorrow morning. Luckily, I don’t have to go back to school during the holidays (and I’m quite surprised about this) which means that I can spend the whole holiday in Singapore. And yes, I am aware of the fact that when school reopens, I still have my Physics, Additional Mathematics and Malay Language Prelims. That’s why I’m bringing along some of my books so that I can study in Indonesia.

I am extremely OVER THE MOON right now… Lots of things are gonna happen this holiday. One of it being: the arrival of a new living soul in my house… a dog (breed: Collie) named Prince. Nadia’s dog. This is gonna be AWESOME.

My cell phone nearly got confiscated. EEEK

Thank God that didn't happen. Thank God my phone didn't get confiscated. What would my life be without my BlackBerry D': (oke lebay -_-).

Jadi gini, tadi pas lagi Art Council, kita kan dikasih tas tas polos gitu untuk didekor. Pada saat itu, banyak yang make hape. Nggak semua sih, tapi banyak kok. Malah ada yang dengerin lagu pake earphone -_-. Jadi ya udah, aku make hape. Tujuannya nggak munafik atau kenapa napa kok. Cuman untuk nyari gambar untuk ide dekor tas.

Beberapa saat setelah itu, guru A (biasanya baik) kayaknya nangkep seseorang make hape. Trus dia langsung umumin ke semua orang "Don't let me see you use your handphone ah!" Trus jadinya untuk beberapa saat langsung gue sembunyiin tuh hape. Tapi nggak lama setelah itu, banyak juga yang make hape. Trus guru B dateng ke mejaku. Di mejaku ada 3 orang yang make alat elektronik (2 BB dan satu iPod) untuk nyari gambar. Dan gurunya biasa aja tuh. Malah nanya ke temenku, "Kamu mau gambar apa tuh?" gitu.

Setelah itu... Aku kan make hape gitu kan. Trus tiba-tiba dari kejauhan aku liat guru A jalan ke arahku. Aku udah takut aja tuh dia ngeliat gue make hape. Dan ternyata bener. Dia langsung ngambil hape gue trus ngomogn "I have no choice! You let me see you using your handphone so I will have to confiscate it." Gue langsung diem :o trus bilang "But..." trus dia ngomong "What were you using your handphone for?" trus gue bilang "I was using it to find pictures for the bag!" trus gue tunjukin kan. Trus akhirnya dia ngalah, trus bilang "But next time when you want to use your handphone you must ask permission from me!" Oke deh bos. Padahal sama guru yang satu lagi biasa aja tuh... Gimana nih gak ada koordinasi antara guru yang satu dengan yang lain -_- ckck.

But, well yeah, maybe I was wrong. Gue juga seharusnya ijin dulu sih. Tapi sebenernya kalo udah diliat guru B make hape tapi gak diapa apain nggak papa dong? Ah tau ah. The past is the past. Learn from it :)

Oh ya. Art Council hari ini... was surprisingly funner (?) / more fun than usual. Thumbs up for Art Council!

Happy Teacher's Day!

Happy Teacher’s Day everyone! I’d just like to say thanks to all my teachers for everything you’ve taught me and for all the support and guidance. I wouldn’t have been here if it weren’t for you all. Thanks a lot.

HBL = Too much homework

Today is the schedule for HBL! HBL stands for Home Based Learning, so generally, we are to stay at our house and do our homework assigned at home.

Now, the problem is... THE TEACHERS GAVE US A LOT OF HOMEWORK. We were even told to do a 1000 words physics report! Aw man -_-"

So that's all... I'm gonna finish my homeworks now. Byebye

'Unlucky' Day

Hari ini bisa dibilang hari 'sial'. Ada dua kejadian hari ini...

Case I

Tadi pagi bangun, ambil anduk, ambil baju. Tapi... Celana olah raga gue dimana?! Udah dicari di lemari baju, dan gak ada satu pun. Padahal harusnya ada 2 lho. Nah abis itu gue langsung ke jemuran. Cari, mungkin gak ya masih dijemur? Dan ternyata nggak ada. Di kamar mbak ada nggak ya? Nggak ada. Di tempat baju ada nggak ya? Eh! Dan ternyata... Ada! Eh gak deng, ternyata itu cuman celana yang mirip sama celanaku. *sial* Hal kedua yang kepikiran di otak; 'Telfon ke lobby C aja ya, nanya mbak nya, kira-kira liat gak ya celanaku?' Tapi pas baru mau nelfon... Eh mbaknya udah dateng. Ku tanyain, dan katanya nggak liat sama sekali. Haduh. Gimana tuh. Masa gak liat sih. Ihh aneh. Padahal ada 2 lho celana yang kayak gitu. Haduhh. Desperate banget. Hampir nangis tau gak *lebay*. Tapi udah desperate banget sih. Nanti gimana di sekolah? -_- Haduhh. Akhirnya aku nanya mbak, kira-kira marah nggak ya kalo yang lain dibangunin? Katanya mbak '*tuuuut* yang marah kalo dibangunin.' Eh ya udah deh nggak jadi. Aaaahh :((

Abis itu gue langsung mandi aja deh, udah ngabisin 13 menit nyariin celana itu. Padahal harusnya jam segitu lagi mandi, mungkin udah hampir selesai. Hhhh.

Setelah mandi, mbak bilang 'Tadi mbak udah cari di kamarnya Adrian nggak ada.' Yahh :( Jadi ya udah deh, terpaksa tadi pake ke sekolah pake seragam. Pas udah di sekolah, langsung cepet-cepet ke bookstore trus beli celana, dan langsung ganti.

________________________________________________

Flag raising udah berlalu, dan akhirnya saat untuk morning walk! Eh, tapi tau nggak? MASA MORNING WALKNYA DIBATALIN KARENA WAKTUNYA UDAH NGGAK CUKUP. Elah. Udah capek-capek nih gue beli celana baru. Ngabisin uang tau gak >:O

________________________________________________

Pas sampe di rumah.. Aku tanya mbak 'Mbak celanaku ada nggak?' Kata mbak, 'Nggak ada Dir. Celananya yang kayak celana putih yang itu, cuman warna item kan?' Trus aku bilang 'Bukan mbak, celananya yang kayak yang kupake sekarang.' Trus abis itu aku lupa mbak bilang apa.

Beberapa saat setelah itu....

Mbak: 'Dir, celananya yang ini bukan?'

Aku: 'Nah iya bener! Ketemu dimana mbak?'

Mbak: 'Di kamar Adrian.'

Aku: *dalam hati* "Ya elah gimana sih, tadi pagi katanya nggak ada?! Liat nih udah beli celana baru hhhh"

Case II

Besok kan jadwal HBL (Home Based Learning), jadi kita nggak masuk sekolah, tapi ngerjain PR di rumah. Nah, PRnya itu kan dikasihnya lewat website sekolah, namanya LMS. Karena aku murid baru, aku belom terdaftar di LMS. Jadi pas pulang sekolah, aku nemuin guru yang ngurusin LMS, dan aku ngasih tau kalo aku nggak bisa log in ke account LMS ku. Trus sama gurunya, aku disuruh nulis nama, kelas, dan NRIC number. Abis itu udah deh pulang.

Nah, pas sampe di rumah, aku langsung ngakses LMS. Mau ngecek udah bisa buka atau belom. Aku masukin ID sama passwordnya. Dan... Berhasil! Bisa masuk!

Tapi.... *JENG JENG JENG*

NAMA GUE KEDAFTAR SEBAGAI 'UNDRIA NOOR'!!! WHAT THE HELL?! Ya Allah, apa tulisan gue segitu jeleknya sampe nggak kebaca ya? Padahal jelas-jelas itu I. Diatas dan bawahnya udah dikasih garis, jadi mirip huruf I. Kayaknya nggak mungkin banget deh huruf itu bisa jadi U. Udah gitu namaku INDIRA, bukan UNDIRA. Dan namaku kedaftar sebagai UNDRIA. Aduh. Apa tulisan gue yang nggak jelas, atau gurunya yang salah baca sih? Elahh. Sedih amat sih gue. T.T

...

Mama barusan pulang ke Indonesia :'( sedih deh. Sendirian di kamar. Gak ada yang nungguin pulang sekolah lagi deh :( Tapi gak papa, penderitaan dulu baru bersenang-senang, ya tidak? Hahaha. Like what Andrew Matthews said, happiness is a choice, and I choose to be happy.

Hm hm bosen nihh. Oh iya, papa katanya mau ke Singapore tanggal 20an, yeay yeay yeay :D Gak sabar nunggu papa dateng! :D Oh iya, trus tanggal 19 Agustus itu ada Home Based Learning lhoo... Jadi kita belajar di rumah masing-masing, trus nanti kita log in ke Virtual Workspace, dan nanti disana ada webcam gurunya yang ngajarin, trus nanti dikasih tugas juga. Huaahh, coba tiap hari kayak gini, gila asik banget deh. Haha. So the point is, I am looking forward to HBL. HBL should be done once a month! Haha. Tapi ya sebenernya kayaknya model belajar kayak gini nggak bakal efektif. Karena kan bisa sambil main-main pas belajarnya karena nggak diawasin guru. Haha, tapi asik sih :D

Oh iya, kan liburan term nya mulai tanggal 4 September, nah aku udah pesen tiket pulang ke Jogja untuk tanggal 4. Trus balik ke Singapore nya tanggal 12 September. Tapi ternyata...*JENG JENG JENG* ada English Oral test tanggal 8 September! *gubrak* Ah elah seneng amat sih ngambil liburan orang. Gak enak tau! Liburan tuh ya untuk bersenang-senang, jangan dirusak -_- Jadi ya sekarang, saya sedang bingung. Bagaimana nasib saya? Semoga aja boleh ikut make up test atau apalah. Aamiin. Lagian gitu sih nyebelin ya, ngambil liburan orang. Hiks hiks T.T

Itu aja buat hari ini.. Makasih bagi yang udah baca, dan bagi yang baca pun juga nggak papa. Haha. Makasih buat yang udah ngunjungin blog ini, thank you very much. Byebye

I slifed my Lice.

Okay, first of all, let me get things straight.

Nummer een: I do NOT have lice.

Nummer twee: What I mean was 'I sliced my life'. Well, not literally.

Every Friday there's this thing called 'Slice of Life', and some of the students will get picked to share their experiences (related to the school values; PRIDE) with the whole school. So basically, I was chosen for this week. Oh, and Aldwin was chosen too.

My day didn't start really well. I woke up 5 minutes earlier than usual (does this really make a change?), because I was supposed to arrive at school at 7.05 today, to practice for the SoL. I went to school 10 minutes earlier than today, hoping that I would arrive at the bus interchange earlier. Now, here comes the bad news. The bus never came. No, not never, but I mean, because I arrived at the bus stop earlier, I was expecting that another bus would come earlier, but it turned out than it didn't! The same old bus that I always took even arrived late. Grrrhhh. Usually, if I take that bus, I'll be just in time to catch the early bus to school (just in time means running; if I take this bus I'll arrive at school at 7.00am). But now, the bus is late. So that means that I won't arrive at school on time. Oh no. Without any further thinking, I went in the MRT station. I just hoped that the MRT would be faster than the next bus.

When I arrived at Serangoon, I looked at my watch. Oops. It's already 6.45! Arghh, I don't think I'll be able to get there in time! So I went to the passenger office, and I asked 'Are there any taxis out there?' They said, 'Oh yeah, just out there.' So I rushed and went out. I found the taxi pick up point, but all the taxis were just parked out there, and the taxi drivers where nowhere to be seen. Urghh.

At this point of time, I became really pissed off (yeah, I know, it's not that stressful), and I guess if you saw me at that time, you would've thought that I was sort of crazy or something. I was like, walking here and there, and running, and sweating, and.. I bet I looked pretty confused. There was 1 taxi, and that taxi just drove past me without stopping or even looking at me. What the?! I hate you taxi driver! And then, there was this taxi, I was going to run towards the taxi, but another person took that taxi! AAAH! At last, at around 7.00, I finally found a taxi. And... I arrived at school at 7.15. I'm late. And I paid SGD11 for that. LATE + SGD11. My morning had just been ruined.

But, from that point onwards... My day became slightly better. I read my speech, and... Some of my friends and my teachers said my speech was nice. So.. I guess it wasn't bad after all.

That's all I'd like to share with you for today... I hope you enjoyed my post :D

_________________________________________

Good morning Mrs Lim, Ms Thien, Mr Ng, teachers and fellow schoolmates. My name is Indira Pranabudi, and I'm from 3E2. Today, I would like to share with you a poem that has inspired me and kept my spirits up whenever I am down. The title of the poem is "Don't Quit". First of all, let me read to you a few lines from the poem.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

This poem teaches me about how I must keep going on with my life, no matter what happens. Just like the saying, "the show must go on". Whenever I am down and I feel like quitting, I will always think about this poem. Right after that I'll say to myself, "Don't quit! It's not that hard! Keep trying! Don't give up!" and right after that I am getting up again.

The same thing goes to school. Whenever I feel that I'm not smart, or whenever I feel that I can't do something, I will always remember this poem. And then, I will say to myself, "If you want success, never give up. Success will only be achieved if we never quit!" Thanks to this poem, I have made it all this way, and hopefully I will be able to achieve my dreams.

Thank you for listening, I hope my sharing will be able to inspire you, and keep the passion for learning of Pei Hwaians burning!

My target for Sec3

In life, targets may play a very big role. They always bring us up when we're down. So I decided to set a target for this year. And since my parents (and I) have high hopes of me.. I'm gonna set a pretty high target this year (considering that I've just joined the school for 1 month; which means I need to catch up on most of the subjects).

Additional Mathematics: A1

Elementary Mathematics: A1

I've only decided on those two subjects. I'm not quite sure about the others.. English.. Hmm I'm not really strong in that. Malay? I still need to get used to the language. Physics? Hmm I was quite good in my last school, but it's kinda harder here. Chemistry? I barely know anything. I did learn Chemistry in my previous school, but that was just little. But actually, I'm quite motivated in this subject, thanks to Mrs Lim. She keeps saying that I have talent in this subject, and she even put me in the advanced acer group. I think she kinda trusts me. Well then, I'd better not let her down.

For SS? It's hard. There's this SBQ thingy, and there's also the SEQ thingy, blablabla. I didn't have SS in my previous school. And I think it's hard. Geography? Hmm dunno.

So.. you see.. Things aren't easy for me. The situation is not something you would want to be in. Trust me, it's not fun. I have to live away from my family.. But on the other hand.. This new life does teach me something. It gives me experience. And anyway, how are you supposed to to grow if you never go out of your comfort zone? I am both grateful and sad that I get this opportunity to live in Singapore. But I'll always try to do my best, where ever I am. Not just for the sake of my self, but I also want to make my parents happy. Every parent would love to see their child be successful right?

So... All I'd like to say is... Thanks God, for all the things you've given to me. I hope I will continue to learn from my mistakes and do better in the future. Aamiin...

Sports Day!

Finally, Sports Day came. I was very nervous. I'm not sure whether I'm fast enough to participate in the 100m run. I don't wanna be the last to cross the finish line -_-. So I talked to Weishan, and she talked to Mr Chong and Mr Beng. And they all said, "Just try your best, have fun." Hmmm tetep aja stress ini -_-

So, at last, I did it. And I wasn't 1st, or 2nd, or 3rd. But I wasn't last either. I think I was 5th or 6th or 7th (out of 11). Well, not bad. But still, it would've been better if I got a medal.

The day went on, and.... 3E2 didn't win any medals. HAHA. Well never mind, at least we had fun. So, this was my first Sports Day experience. Not bad, although it could've been more fun. Well, actually, it was... A little bit boring. I even read a book there -_-, but never mind. Haha

Got to give all I have! Gonna get DISTINCTIONS for my O level!

Here are the results of the Mid Year Exam:

• Physics: 44 out of 85. Good try :D
• Chemistry: 35 out of 90. :( but the teacher said that she could see potential inside me! Yeeay, I'll try harder and make all of you proud, just you see!
• E. Maths P1: I don't know how many marks I got, but Mr Beng said I got A1! Yeay! ALHAMDULILLAH!

I'm actually quite pleased with my results. Well, for a new kid, I think that's quite good hehe :D

And what makes me happier is my E Maths score! A1! Yeeay! I'll try harder, and try to do even better! Especially in A Maths. I have to get the basics right, and I'll be on the right track :)

THIRDREICH!

THIRDREICH? LULUS

First week at my new school: Pei Hwa Secondary School

At last this week has came! Well, I wasn't really looking forward to it actually.. Because all I thought about was that 'I'll miss my friends' and nothing else. But well, it turned out that Pei Hwa wasn't bad at all.

I was very very nervous at the first day. I went there by taxi with my mom and my dad, and we arrived at school super fast. We already arrived before 7, and the school starts at around 8.30. Well, of course we didn't know, If we knew that we wouldn't have arrived that fast. But never mind, better to be early than late, especially on the first day of school.

So when we arrived, we met Mr Tan, and then we had a little talk with the VP, she introduced us to Mr Beng, my form teacher, and then she said that the teachers will be having a meeting on every Monday, so the school won't start as early as usual. Well, that's good then :)

We sat at the canteen and waited, and at last Mr Beng came, and then he took me to the class. My class is 3E2, there are 41 students (including me). At first I sat at the back, but then Mr Beng changed my seat with Boon Kuan, so now I'm sitting in the middle.

At the first day, it turned out that there was a NAPFA test after school, and I didn't bring my PE attire! So I had to buy a new set at the school book store -_-. I think I failed one of the tests, the sit & reach test. Hmm it's quite weird actually, becase I think I can reach quite a long distance, and now I failed! Hmm weird. But anyway, I got an A on the shuttle run :D

The next day, it turned out that there was another test! And I didn't bring my PE attire again! Well actually, I already guessed that there will be another test, but it was already too late. I was already on the way to school when I realized that. So at school I had to borrow a PE attire from the general office.

The third day, there wasn't any test anymore, but I still had to bring my PE attire because there was a sport session in the morning. After school there was an English and Social Studies acer. I didn't know at first, so I didn't bring my Social Studies book, but never mind.

On the fourth day, the Mid Year Exams started. The first exam was English. Hmm I didn't know whether I did good or not.. But I hope I will. Anyway, my Mid Year Exam results won't be recorded for the Final Exams, so I'm quite lucky..

The fifth day was the Malay Mid Year Exam. Hmm actually it's not quite hard.. But Malay is different from Indonesian, so I don't know whether my answers were right or not. But anyway, I went home to Indonesia on the fifth day. Monday (3.04.10) is a public holiday, so my father said why don't we go back to Indonesia. Of course I was happy with this invitation! :D

So now I'm in Indonesia, but I'll be going back on Monday. Anyway, the National Exams (UN) will be announced on 7th May!! Wow, I can't wait to see my results.. I hope they're satisfying :D

MISSION = Math and B. Indonesia Try Out = ACCOMPLISHED

MATH AND B. INDONESIA TRY OUT

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

But wait, besok masih ada Try Out lagi.. IPA and B. Inggris. Kalo B. Inggris sih, kayaknya gampang deh (halah sok), habisnya tahun lalu aja pas UN ada yang dapet 100! Berarti kan ada kemungkinan kalo aku bisa dapet 100. Nah, kalo soal IPA, bagian ini nih yang susah. Banyak hafalannya sih. Kalo kataku sih mendingan ngerjain soal Math daripada IPA. Math kan cuman perlu ngafalin dikit, sedangkan IPA tuh afalannya banyak banget!

Okay then, ganti topik. Hari ini, aku pake sendal ke sekolah. Aneh? Ya, emang aneh. Kenapa? Kemarin kan aku udah cerita, aku mengalami luka di kaki. Nggak parah parah amat sih menurutku, tapi ternyata bisa bengkak juga. Lagian kan lukanya masih belom kering, jadi untuk mempercepat pengeringan, aku pake sendal. Supaya longgar dan kakinya nggak sakit. Lebay nggak sih? Agak kali ya? Tapi kalo pake sepatu malah sembuhnya lama dan bakal sakit deh kayaknya. Oh ya, kan aku (lebih tepatnya mama) ngasih surat lewat Communication Book ke Mrs. Wiwin mengenai izin untuk memakai sandal ke sekolah. Dan pas bacanya, Mrs. Wiwin ketawa. Hahaha

Yeah Darwin!

Daaaan..... Darwin pulang membawa 3 piala, sebagai JUARA UMUM! Yeah Darwin! (Hahah pamer)

Hari ini sekolah dimulai dengan upacara. Ah males. Ada yang ngerekam/nge-shoot! Tau tuh dari mana. Udah gitu pengumuman pemenang lomba (lomba-lomba dari luar) lama lagi. Lama banget. Oh ya, sebuah bencana kecil terjadi. Sekarang kan cewek diwajibkan untuk memakai belt ke sekolah. Sedangkan rok anak kelas 9 (rok yang dulu) kan nggak ada tempat untuk beltnya. Gimana mau pake coba? Sebenernya yang cewek udah pada disuruh nunggu di lapangan tuh selesai upacara. Tapi pada kabur. Duh, untung aja. Males nunggu lagi di lapangan. Panas.

Setelah itu hari ini perayaan 17an dilanjutkan dengan acara games, yang sayangnya, nggak seseru tahun lalu. Ada 8 games; balap karung, tarik tambang, peras buah (nggak tau sih judulnya apa sebenernya), balap kelereng, lempar balon (nggak tau sih judul yang bener), makan kerupuk, koin dalam tampah, paku botol, dll. Gamesnya mulai jam 9an, jadi kita masih punya waktu untuk siap siap. Siap siap apa? Untuk membedakan kita dari yang lain, kita semua pura-pura luka gitu. Jadi kita beli kain kassa, trus di sekolah dipake gitu. Pura-puranya ada yang luka di kepala lah, di kaki lah. Aku sendiri sih pake 3, eh tambah luka beneran yang dikasih plester, jadi 4. Plester benerannya di telapak kaki, trus yang boongan ada yang di jari tangan, jempol kaki, sama tangan kanan. Trus yang di tangan kanan tuh dikasih cet merah, jadi keliatan kayak ada luka gitu. Mrs. Wiwin juga pake, dan ada yang ketipu! Banyak yang nanyain, "Kenapa miss?" Hahahaa... emang sih yang punya Mrs. Wiwin (terletak di jidat) lebih keliatan beneran daripada yang lain. Kalo kata Mr. Fine kita lebay. Hahaha

Hasilnya adalah ini :

• Balap Karung : Medali Emas
• Makan kerupuk : Medali Emas
• Balap kelereng : Nggak tau, tapi yang jelas kalah karena dibilang curang
• Tarik tambang : Medali Emas
• Koin dalam tampah : Nggak tau, tapi yang jelas kalah
• Paku botol : Medali silver (kalo nggak salah)
• Lempar balon : Medali Emas
• Peras buah : Medali Emas

Sayangnya, karena lomba paku, kakiku luka. Karena jatoh. Tapi ya sudah lah. It doesn't matter. Bakal sembuh juga.

Pengumuman pemenang dikasih tau jam 2. Udah pada gak sabar gitu deh. Kelas 9 rusuh lagi! Mana Bram nggak behave banget, pamer pamer padahal belom dikasih tau pemenangnya. Halah. Tapi kan akhirnya menang juga..

Dan urgh, besok TO!

I LOVE DARWIN FULL

Today is the day! Yeah Darwin! Tadi di sekolah ada lomba lomba perkelas, memperingati hari Ulang Tahun Indonesia yang ke 64. Happy Birthday Indonesia! Ada 4 lomba, yaitu Choir (Paduan Suara) kelas, Orasi, Class Decoration (Display) sama ada lomba 17an biasa gitu kayak di RT RT gitu, tapi yang lomba 17an diadainnya pas hari Selasa (18/08).

Untuk Class Decoration, kita udah siapin sejak minggu lalu. Nggak niat niat amat sih menang, tapi hasilnya lumayan juga kok. Trus untuk Choir, kita ancur banget (pada awalnya). Latihan tuh malah pada main main ulet bulu, trus ada yang ini lah, ada yang itu lah. Yah, pokoknya ancur banget. B

elom ada gerakan lagi! Trus pada saat saat terakhir, pas udah mau disuruh ke gedung 1 (tempat performance), kita kan lagi mau latihan untuk terakhir kali sebelum naik panggung. Trus tiba tiba ada Mr. Awit gitu dateng, dan Alhamdulillah banget Mr. Awit mau ngajarin kita! Thanks god, you’re a life saver sir! Oh ya, mungkin ada yang nanya, “Emang Mrs. Wiwin nggak ngajarin gayanya?”. Jawbannya : No. Karena kayaknya Mrs. Wiwin sibuk, atau gimana. Lagian kan lagi hamil juga, kan susah. Okay than, back to the topic. Jadi akhirnya Mr. Awit ngajarin kita gayanya. Dan hasilnya = KEREN! Untung banget deh Mr. Awit mau ngajarin. Kayaknya sih karena dulu Mr. Awit ngajar kelas Darwin. Trus katanya gini “Tadinya kan aku harusnya ngajar Darwin. Tapi udah diambil orang.” Hahaha…

Dan akhirnya, kita pergi ke gedung 1. Wah deg-degan. Semoga aja kita b

elom dipanggil, soalnya kan mulainya jam setengah 9, sedangkan kita baru dateng kesana jam 9. Dan ternyata, pas kita udah nyampe, Darwin belom dipanggil. Untung aja. Yang udah tampil baru 3 penampilan. Pas kita masuk tuh Ms. Wiwin udah gini, “Kemana aja kalian? Dicariin! Topinya Ms. Wiwin mana?” Trus abis itu kita duduk di pojok kanan, habisnya tempat kita didudukin orang.

Beberapa saat setelah itu, Darwin dipanggil. Wah… akhirnya tampil juga! Trus kita naik keatas panggung…..

JENG JENG JENG!

Bram : Hormat!

Semua : *hormat-nunduk gitu*

Chaca : Heee…. Heeeee……

Kubanoku bemoboko yumano bungo awe ade… Hongke hongke (hongke hongke)..

Hongke riro (hongke riro).. Hongke jombe (hongke jombe).. Jombe riro (jombe riro)..

Hongke hongke (hongke hongke).. Hongke riro (hongke riro)… Hongke jombe

(hongke jombe)… Jombe riro (jombe riro)… {2x}

Bram : Hormat!

Semua : *hormat-nunduk* Heeee… Yamko rambe yamko…. Aronawa kombeeee (Beeee-nya

Tinggi)

Jadi begitulah kira kira performance kita. Sebenernya harusnya nyanyi dulu tuh *Heeee yamko rambe yamkoooo… Aronawa kombeee* baru Bram nyuruh kita hormat. Ah tapi yaudah lah, udah bagus kok kayaknya.

Aku banggaaaaa banget sama Darwin. Penampilan Darwin so far kayaknya paling oke! Itu sih menurut pendapatku. Tapi kan Mr. Awit ngintipin kertas penilaiannya Mr. Puro, trus katanya Darwin nomer 1! Horeee…. Thx banget ya Sir! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Kira-kira setelah 4 kelas lain perform, Darwin tampil lagi membawakan Orasi. Dari Darwin perwakilannya Della (yang bikin teksnya Didi tapi), tapi kita melakukan sesuatu yang beda dari yang lain. Pas waktunya Della untuk tampil, Darwin semuanya maju, trus duduk ngadep ke panggung di depan semua penonton. Trus sebelum mulai Orasi, Della nyuruh semua orang untuk berdiri. Dan tugas murid yang lain, juga bantuin Della nyuruh semua orang berdiri. Pada bilang gini, “Ah males ah berdiri”. Hehe.. Tapi akhirnya mau juga semuanya berdiri. Trus pas udah berdiri semua, Della nyuruh semua mengepalkan tangan, trus teriak “Merdeka!” diikuti semua murid Darwin. Habis itu duduk semua dan Della membacakan orasinya. Gile.. keren banget! Semua kayaknya tuh pada ngeliatin gitu. Katanya siapa gitu, Astrid atau Runi gitu sampe melongo. Ckckck, trus kata Duse Mr. Arif girang. Hahaha. Oh ya, pas Della baca Orasinya, pas Della teriak “Merdeka!” kita ngikutin teriak “Merdeka!”. Keren deh pokoknya (halah). Trus pas udah terakhir, Della turun panggung trus mengutip kata kata siapa gitu, John. F. Kennedy deh kalo nggak salah, dan bunyinya kira kira seperti ini :

‘Don’t ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country!’

Habis itu, semua orang tepuk tangan, dan kita balik ke posisi semula, lalu teriak ‘Daaaarwin!’ sambil tangannya disatuin gitu lho..Trus pas MC nya (Mr. Dawuh dan Mr. Anton; yang kata Keila pasangan MC tergarin-emang bener sih) naik lagi ke panggung, mereka pokoknya bilang sesuatu yang intinya Orasi Darwin terbaik. Trus pas Mr. Awit ngintipin kertas penilaian Mr. Puro, Darwin tertinggi di Orasi! Yeeeay

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Day of School

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Sebelum aku mulai cerita tentang hari pertama masuk sekolah, aku mau ngasih tau sesuatu dulu :

Aku udah dibeliin jam!!! Horeeeee….!

Beli jamnya kemarin, pas hari Minggu agak sore. Belinya di PIM, tepatnya di Watch Time. Jamnya merek Adidas, ASLI enak aja palsu! – trus masih keluaran baru!

Oke, lanjut ke “First Day of School”. Jadi aku ke sekolah dengan rasa agak deg-deg-an. Tapi nggak terlalu, biasa aja. Tapi gara-gara Nadia sama Adam deg-deg-an banget, aku jadi agak deg-deg-an juga deh.

Kita masuk ke gerbang Sekolah Global Mandiri tepat pada jam 07.11 AM di jamku (cailah yang baru punya jam wkwkwk). Trus aku langsung jalan ke gedung 3, trus liat papan daftar kelasnya. Dan ternyata bener, aku sekelas sama Elice, Shabi, Nana, Dhea, Keila, Chalika, Diandra, Sarah, Devina, Tayara, Della, Mas Tommy, Agi, Albert, Duse, Dewangga, Dewo, Rifqi sama Bram, tapi Mas Tommy, Keila sama Diandra nggak masuk. Aku masuk 9 DARWIN, dan gurunya MRS. WIWIN. Semoga satu tahun selama kelas 9 seru Aamiin…

Jadi agenda kita hari ini adalah menentukan nama kelas; eh, bukan nama kelas deng, maksudnya panggilan kita, dan dekor kelas. Dan jadilah panggilan kita : Darwewin. Apa arti dibalik Darwewin? Kan nama kelas kita DARWIN. Trus DARWEWIN = DAR WE WIN. Dar-nya dari DARwin. WEnya dari kita(DARWIN). WINnya dari darWIN tapi juga berarti kemenangan. Jadi artinya sama aja kayak Darwin menang. Trus Wewin kan namanya wali kelas kita, Wiwin. Hehehehe..

Trus setelah nentuin nama kelas, kita dekor kelas. Eh, tapi sebelum itu, kita mindahin barang barangnya kelas Archi, yang masih di kelas kita, keluar kelas supaya nanti diambil kelas Archi. Soalnya kan kelas kita mantan kelas Archi. Dan kata Mrs. Wiwin, kelas Archi itu keterlaluan. Masa kelasnya nggak dirapiin sama sekali. Ckckck. Jadinya kita harus rapiin barang barangnya. Tapi yang anehnya, Mr. Fine ngambilin hampir setiap barang yang ada di kelas kita. Shelf diambil, karton diambil, jam dinding juga diambil, tempat sampah diambil, dan paku doang pun juga diambil. Ya ampun sir, kasihan Darwin nggak punya apa apa huhuhu..

Setelah itu baru kita dekor kelas dengan tema “Green Peace”, Peace karena usul dari Bram. Jadi kita dekor kelas kita dengan warna ijo. Jendelanya ditutupin kertas minyak (kalo nggak salah) warna ijo, supaya dari luar orang lain nggak bisa ngintip, dan supaya kelas kita tambah ijo nuansanya. Trus kita bikin daun daunan dari origami trus ditempelin di tembok keliling kelas. Habis itu bungkus recycle box pake warna ijo dan bantuin Mrs. Wiwin nyiapin Comunication Book (disingkat ComBook atau ComBo).

Hari ini kita pulang agak telat, karena jamnya Mrs. Wiwin agak telat, dan karena kita nggak punya jam dinding. Tapi ya sudahlah nggak apa apa. Tapi sebelum pulang aku sama Dhea mampir dulu ketemu Ms. Resti ngomongin perpisahan BOAS sebentar. Trus habis itu baru pulang deh.

SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL

Hari ini agenda di sekoah adalah : sama seperti kemarin, dekor. Trus hari ini kita bagi-bagi tugas; a.k.a. Ketua Kelas, Wakil, Sekretaris, sama Bendahara. Kata Mrs. Wiwin, semua orang harus kebagian tugas, dan karena ada 4 term, setiap term ganti ganti susunan susunan organisasi kelas. Trus karena kata Mrs. Wiwin kita udah gede, kita disuruh musyawarah atau nggak voting tanpa Mrs. Wiwin. Jadi kita ditinggal 30 menit, trus kita diskusiin gitu deh. Tapi karena kita males diskusi, kita pake undian. Hahahaha, trus supaya cepet kita langsung ngundi untuk 3 term ke depan. Hasilnya ini :

Term 1 :

• · Ketua Kelas : Bram
• · Wakil Ketua Kelas : Agi
• · Sekretaris : Dewo
• · Bendahara 1 : Rifqi
• · Bendahara 2 : Diandra

Term 2 :

• · Ketua Kelas : Indira (AKU!)
• · Wakil Ketua Kelas : Tayara
• · Sekretaris : Albert
• · Bendahara 1 : Nana
• · Bendahara 2 : Sarah

Term 3 :

• · Ketua Kelas : Duse
• · Wakil Ketua Kelas : Devina
• · Sekretaris : Shabira
• · Bendahara 1 : Keila
• · Bendahara 2 : Della

Term 4 :

• · Ketua Kelas : Tomo
• · Wakil Ketua Kelas : Dhia
• · Sekretaris : Elice
• · Bendahara 1 : Chalika
• · Bendahara 2 : Dewangga

Jadi ketua kelas LAGI. Yaaah… Mana Mrs. Wiwin expect ketua kelas untuk bertanggung jawab penuh lagi. Urgh..... Trus tepat waktu aku jadi ketua kelas, Mrs. Wiwin bakal cuti, soalnya kan mau melahirkan, 3 bulan. Dan kata Mrs. Wiwin, Mrs. Wiwin nggak mau terima laporan dari guru guru kalo kita misalnya nggak ngumpulin tugas, atau ada kaca pecah gara-gara ada yang main bola di kelas, atau ada yang berantem. Yah pokoknya Mrs. Wiwin sangat expect kita untuk bertanggung jawab penuh. Well, this should be challenging ;l

Trus selain itu, kita dekor (seperti yang kubilang tadi) trus kita juga nempelin label ke tray dan ComBook sama nyampulin ComBook. Ada juga yang nyiapin presentasi tentang Darwin untuk besok (disuruh presentasi icon kelas). Trus pas udah jam setengah 2an, tiba tiba Mr. Awit dateng, trus manggil yang JMagz dan Fotografi (Aku, Dhea, Shabi, Dewo, Aga). Kirain ada apaan, taunya disuruh presentasi ekskul! Ah malesin banget sih. Trus Dewo, Aga, Shabi, sama Dhea disuruh presentasi fotografi, trus aku sendiri presentasi tentang JMagz. Apa apaan nih! Dhea sama Shabi kan juga JMagz. Ah sial banget sih. Trus Aga sama Dewo malah balik ke atas lagi. Trus kan kita disuruh manggil Aga sama Dewo, trus pas mau manggil, taunya aku nggak boleh ikut manggil, aku disuruh duduk nunggu dibawah, duduk bareng Mr. Awit, Mrs. Meri sama beberapa guru lain deh pokoknya. Sial banget deh beneran.

Trus pas lagi duduk duduk, aku dikasih tau Mr. Awit apa aja yang harus dipresentasiin. Pas udah, tiba-tiba Mrs. Meri nanya gini :

Mrs. Meri : Di keluarga kamu siapa aja yang keriting?

Aku : Papa

Mr. Awit : *Tiba tiba ngomong gitu* Emang iya? Perasaan enggak deh.

Aku : Iya, tapi kalo rambutnya panjang.

Mr. Awit : Pacar? *Salah denger maksudnya*

Aku : Panjang!

Mr. Awit : Ooooh

Mrs. Meri : Nggak ada gitu saudara yang keriting? Kakak? Punya kakak nggak?

Aku : Enggak.

Mrs. Meri : Adek punya?

Aku : Punya.

Mrs. Meri : Berapa?

Aku : Dua.

Mr. Awit : Nadia sama Adam tuh.

Aku : *Ternyata Mr. Awit hafal juga nama adekku. Padahal pas itu manggil Nadia Nanda*

Heran deh kenapa semua orang penasaran sama rambutku. Mr. Awit, Mrs. Wiwin, Mr. Faris, Mr. Dawuh, sama sekarang Mrs. Meri. Oh ya malahan kata Mr. Arif aku disuruh ikutan lomba muka unik. Aneh aneh aja nih Mister.

Habis itu pas udah mau dimulai presentasinya, kan Dhea sama Shabi nggak dateng dateng. Aku udah menduga nih palingan mereka berdua males trus nggak balik lagi ke bawah. Trus jadinya aku bilang ke Mr. Awit aku mau ke atas manggil Shabi sama Dhea. Trus pas aku ke atas, mereka nggak mau ke bawah. Trus masa aku presentasi sendiri? Nggak mau ah. Jadinya aku nunggu aja diatas sampe nanti dipanggil sama Mr. Awit. Trus sementara nunggu disuruh kebawah lagi, aku bantuin aja dekor kelas.

Sekitar 15 atau 10 menitan setelah itu Gregory (anak kelas 8, tadinya kelas 7 tapi sekarang udah naik kelas 8) dateng trus bilang ke Mrs. Wiwin kalo aku sama Dewo (loh kok jadinya cuman kita yang disuruh presentasi?!? Apa apaan nih curang banget?!?) disuruh kebawah. Dengan males malesan akhirnya aku kebawah sama Dewo huhuhu.

Pas sampe dibawah, masih ada choir dulu yang presentasi. Eh tapi bukan choirnya sih yang presentasi, tapi Mr. K yang presentasi. Anak choir cuman berdiri aja baris (tapi sebelumnya udah nyanyi). Trus habis itu giliran aku sama Dewo presentasi. Kita suit siapa duluan yang presentasi. Trus aku menang, eh tapi malah disuruh aku duluan yang presentasi. Tapi nyatanya Dewo duluan yang presentasi haha. Dan untungnya juga Mr. Awit ngebantuin ngomong pertamanya. Dan Alhamdulillah juga aku kayaknya ngomongnya lumayan lancar, tapi mukaku tetap memerah (Nggak tau kenapa tapi mukaku memerah sendiri – eh atau jangan jangan mukaku nggak memerah ya? Tapi aku ngerasain kok kayaknya tambah panas gitu).Trus pas udah selesai Mr. Awit ngomong apa gitu yang menyimpulkan bahwa penjelasanku sangat jelas. Untung aja. Dewo tuh presentasi suaranya kecil.

Pas udah selesai Mr. Awit ngadain kuis kecil, pertanyaan tentang yang tadi aku jelasin trus yang bisa jawab dikasih contoh JMagz. Dan Alhamdulillah banyak yang tau jawabannya; yang berarti tadi penjelasanku bener bener jelas. Trus akhirnya selesai juga, trus aku salaman dulu sama Mr. Awit sama UJ (kenapa pake salaman ya?) trus habis itu keatas.

Pas sampe atas ternyata udah pada duduk di kursi trus siap siap pulang. Mrs. Wiwin ngomong sekitas 15 menitan sebelum pulang, trus habis itu baru pulang deh.

THIRD DAY OF SCHOOL

Hari ini kita lanjutin dekor, trus pas siangnya ada perwakilan untuk presentasi Icon kelas. Dari Darwin, yang maju Sarah sama Diandra. Trus selain itu.... TANIA DATENG KE GLOBAL....
