New Chapter [13 Sep 2007|11:08am] [ mood | hungry ] It's so hard for me to blog regularly >< Well well, I am in Charlottesville, Virginia now. I am finally in uni! Hahaha Everything is going great. I finally realized why God wants me here. I can imagine what will happen to me if I choose to go to some other university where I don't know anyone. I would be so lost and I would probably have a breakdown or something. Classes are alright. I finally got all my classes that I want even though I always feel intimidated when I go to my classes because I am the only yellow-skinned girl . Except my mandarin class because it is specially designed for those who have Chinese background, so mainly my classmates are all ABCs except me. I am always the odd one eh? hahaha Friends? Hmm, I have got some great Indonesian friends and a couple of Chinese friends. I am trying to be diverse and get out of my comfort zone, but it just seems so hard to befriend with my white suitemates. We are way too different. They are the party & wild type girls. I am the nerd? Hahaha plus they are all from Virginia, so I guess they can easily relate to each other. So far, we only say "Hi!" to each other even though we have been living together for almost three weeks. Thank God again for my Chinese roommate (I got a triple room!). If not, I would probably go crying right now. But I have met some great white people, mainly from church or Christian organization. I can clearly see the difference. They are so friendly and interested in you. I have not given up yet though! Everyday I tell myself that I want to be friends with my suitemates, since we will be living with each other for the whole year. But I don't want to change myself and be like them just to fit in the circle. I want to be me :) Oh, I don't like the food here! I miss Indonesian food, or Chinese food, or Singaporean food! I actually miss my high school's canteen food, which everyone said it is reaaaaally bad! Well, they have stir fry but it is so oily! I feel bad having that every dinner, but that's the only way I can satisfy my daily needs for rice :p I am improving I guess. The first week here I don't really eat anything, but now I do. Ice cream here is really great (which is bad cause its fattening!) I guess that's it for now. Gotta go get my brunch ;) 1 chirp // comment?

somewhat true. [18 Dec 2006|01:34pm] [ mood | okay ] [ music | Persembahan dari hati - Shanty ] Colorgenics You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures. Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your 'missed opportunities' by living your life to the full. This is what, perhaps, may be described as 'living with exaggerated intensity'. In this way you feel you can break the chains of the past and start again - and it could be that you are right. You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition. You are a very choosy person - demanding and exacting in your emotional demands and very particular in your choice of partner. You are self-sufficient and as a result of this overbearing nature you find it difficult to establish any depth of deep physical or mental involvement with members of the opposite sex. For whatever the reason, you find it extremely difficult to sustain relationships - that is to sustain them in the manner that you would wish. You are a very gentle sort of person, full of feeling, sensitivity and susceptible to love and affection, looking and longing for a partner with whom you can enjoy 'All things bright and beautiful' - someone with whom you can seek out the more esoteric things of life. But up to now this person has only existed in your imagination. You are very choosy, appreciative, refined and extremely artistic in temperament and it is your hope to seek others who will allow you to form and express your own taste and judgment and who at the same time may assist you in your intellectual or artistic growth. You really would like to be completely uninhibited - to let your hair down - but you are held back by your sense of logic and rationality, since you realize that by simple stupidity you could lose everything - whatever that may be. comment?

Where do you go when you're lonely Where do you go when you're blue Where do you go when you're lonely I'll follow you When the stars go blue Laughing with your pretty mouth Laughing with your broken eyes Laughing with your lover's tongue In a lullaby Where do you go when you're lonely Where do you go when you're blue Where do you go when you're lonely I'll follow you When the stars go blue The stars go blue, stars go blue comment?

Amie [27 Aug 2006|11:20pm] [ mood | good ] Amie - Damien Rice Nothing unusual, nothing strange Close to nothing at all The same old scenario, the same old rain And there's no explosions here Then something unusual, something strange Comes from nothing at all I saw a spaceship fly by your window Did you see it disappear? Amie come sit on my wall And read me the story of O And tell it like you still believe That the end of the century Brings a change for you and me Nothing unusual, nothing's changed Just a little older that's all You know when you've found it, There's something I've learned 'Cause you feel it when they take it away Something unusual, something strange Comes from nothing at all But I'm not a miracle And you're not a saint Just another soldier On the road to nowhere Amie come sit on my wall And read me the story of O And tell it like you still believe That the end of the century Brings a change for you and me And Amie come sit on my wall And read me the story of O And tell it like you still believe That the end of the century Brings a change for you and me i love his voice!

questions [04 Aug 2006|09:42pm] [ mood | awake ] just remembered something. funny but might be offensive for catholic people... when we went to fatima in portugal, we visited the basilica of our lady. so, the tour guide told us the story of the apparitions of virgin mary. the story... virgin mary asked these three chosen kids to meet her in that area. at first their parents didn't let them go, so these kids waited and asked their parents once again. their parents let them go and so virgin mary told them stuff that were going to happen (portugal was going to stay neutral in world war 2, early deaths of the two kids, etc). these stuff actually happened. she appeared every month on the 13th for six months (may-october 1917). but why did people believe that she is truely virgin mary? on the last apparition on the 13th of october, she performed a miracle to make people believe her. that day, weather was very cloudy and it also rained, but then virgin mary made the cloud opened up and the sun was dancing. thousands of people witnessed it. end of story. after we returned to the bus, this uncle asked innocently: So, is virgin mary dead? after we all laughed at him, he said innocently again: Then, those people must have seen ghost... LOL. comment?

Holiday..) Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more time You had a bad day You had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day
