Journal of My Mind

Hi, blogger. Currently, I feel very tired. Too much to think, too much to handle. I don’t think I was like this when I was in 9^th grade. Things seems so complicated right now. I just finished my Aikido Exam, I wish I pass. I just finished my mid-test. Now, I have to study for AS Level Examination (tomorrow is Chemistry Paper 2!). The entrance exam for college will be held on March 2010 (for University of Indonesia). And I study from 6.30 am until 9.00 pm every school day. It’s insane.

What I need right now is a holiday. Seriously. I am starting miss my last holiday. It’s very short (only 2 days) but at least I really enjoyed it.

I went to Bandung last Lebaran Holiday wth my brother, my brother’s friend, and my brother’s friend’s sister. Actually, I went there to help my brother moved from Bandung back to Jakarta. But, ended up having a good holiday. Thank you so much, my brother. Now, when he is far away in Surabaya, I am kinda miss him.

Usually Jakarta-Bandung is approximately 2 hours. But, my brother drove so fast that we arrived at Bandung at 7.30 am (it was 6.00 am from Jakarta; only one and a half hour!). Then, we went to my brother’s place to take a little rest. After that, we went to PVJ (Paris Van Java) Bandung. It’s a good place. We took a look a pet shop and seeing the cats reminded me of Boy, used to be my cat. And we went to Daiso.

Having lunch at Gokkana Ramen at Ciwalk Bandung. After years I’ve been to Bandung, finally I went to Ciwalk! It’s good. I was so terrified when we went to a pet shop and I saw a big snake on the window. I have phobia of snake.

Then, we went shopping! I got a cool black cardigan and shawl. We went to factory outlet. Then went back to my brother’s place in the evening before went to Sierra Restaurant for dinner. The view was great because the restaurant itself is on the hill. It was beautiful at night, but it was really cold.

So now, having tired everyday, I wish I have a holiday. Just one day would be enough for me. I really look forward to weekend because only in weekend I can rest fully.

Okay then, I’ll post another post as soon as possible. Please wish me luck for tomorrow exam. I spent almost 10 hours today for studying chemistry. I hope it worth it. Bye bye and see ya’!

First of all, I want to say Happy Birthday again for my friend : Bivisyani Questibrillia for turning 17! =) And thank you for having a creative birthday theme (read: halloween) so we all can dressed up halloween-ish hehe..

I dressed up as a wizard hahaha.. but I didn’t have a witch hat so, I just wearing coat and holding a wand =) My friend just announced the dress code about a couple days ago so I didn’t have time to get a more creative costume. Like I said, it’s been 12 years for me since the last time I celebrated Halloween.

12 years ago, I still remember it very clearly, October 1997, me and my brother dressed up for halloween. My brother even made the lantern pumpkin. Then, with my brother wearing a mask and I wore Princess Jasmine costume, we went door to door in our small apartment and said , “Trick or treat!”

We got a lot of candies. I love it. But, we got into a small fight when my brother wanted to keep most of the candies for himself. Hahaha. When I went to the school, I also wore the costume and everybody at class wearing different costume. It was fun.

I tweet some of my halloween memories on twitter. I just did.

mayaandhilda : the children got up as their dad came in to their small apartment. their dad brought something for them. to cheer them up on that Halloween.

mayaandhilda : the little girl opened her present first that her brother. her smile was on her face when she held that small snow globe.

mayaandhilda : inside the snow globe there was a teddy bear as a witch with orange snow flakes. she shaked it and her smile became wider.

mayaandhilda : up until now, that little girl always loves Halloween and every year she hopes that her dad would come home with a snow globe again for her.

That little girl was me. I still remember when my dad gave me the snow globe. It was pretty. One for me with a witch teddy bear inside it and one for my brother with a ghost inside it. I still have it now. Sometimes, I shake it and watch the flakes fell flawlessly.

This is one of my favourite photo. Wizard vs screamo. My friend cannot even took the photo properly because she wanted to laugh so bad, that she’s shaken the camera a bit, that’s why the photo is kinda blur.

Halloween actually is not Indonesian thing. We don’t celebrate halloween naturally. But I love Halloween that I got excited when my friend told me she gonna have a birthday party with halloween theme. It’s creative. But, yesterday I didn’t do any make up. Maybe I should have put some horror or gothic make up. But, I don’t have the make up kit and well, I am not really good at using make up. I wish I learn how.

Okay then, I am going to sleep now. As I promised yesterday, I post a report of my Halloween Day =)

I was kinda exhausted, I had Aikido Exam and it was so exhausting. And I wish I can pass. Yesterday, my dad forgot the way to get to my brother’s girlfriend’s house, so we lost our way and got home at 11 pm. I was so tired but this morning I have to wake up early so I can go to BSD for my exam. So now, I am going to take a rest.

Thank you for reading my post.

Bye bye and see ya’!
