hot gossips!

Okay, I believe that I'm tired to see those marks on the top of my posts and I don't want to let others bored :)

So, after vacuum for a week and several days, like what I've posted before, I followed the National Science Olympiad selection at school. For several people who passed the test will participate in the same olympiad but higher level. I thanked the God to not pass me in this test, so I can concentrate more to this week highlight...

IGCSE ESL Speaking Exam

I was so shocked when the teacher told my class that the exam will be held this weekend, on Saturday. TOMORROW. Well I think I should prepare for it, and I get 10 mins. from 09.10-09.20 if I'm not mistaken. I'm a little bit worried about it, since I have minim vocabs, limited grammar and many disabilities that will damage my scores. aaaahhhh... But according to the latest speaking test which was held in Mid-Term Test, I got straight 9 for Vocabs, Structure, and Fluency. Well I hope some miracles will happen during the test.. *puppy eyes*

and one more gossip..

I passed the LKS selection. Oh God, thanks a lot. I asked a lot about it to my friend and I just can't wait. Although many people said that it's a lot harder than subsi kaderisation, but I want to challenge myself and try something different (general reasons).

Well, I DEMANDING YOUR PRAYERS FOR MY IGCSE TEST. amiin amiin amiin I hope I can passed it with good grades :)

tentang cantiik :x

disclaimer: kak Zahra MM's note

berbicara tentang cantik. semua perempuan pasti menginginkan cantik. tapi mungkin tidak semua perempuan tau, kecantikan adalah hal yang bisa dibentuk dan diusahakan.
aku pikir, semua perempuan cantik dengan caranya masing-masing. semua perempuan punya cara untuk meraih kecantikannya termasuk aku. bahkan seorang teman meulis dalam blognya, bukan cantik secara fisik yang diinginkan, karena itu mutlak karuniaNya, tapi cantik secara hti itu yang bisa diusahakan.
semua perempuan di dunia ini cantik, bahkan dengan segala keterbatasannya. tapi seringkali kecantikan itu cacat karena tidak beriringan dengan kecantikan sang hati, kecantikan budi pekerti, dan kecantikan pikiran.
dan yang perlu ditegaskan, perempuan cantik bukanlah perempuan yang menghabiskan waktunya untuk terus menerus berkutat dengan berbagai macam perawatan kecantikan fisik hingga waktunya terbengkalai, lupa untuk kecantikan yang lebih penting. kecantikan hati..
kecantikan tumbuh dari keyakinan dan kepercayaan diri. kekuatan pikiran mampu membentuk kecantikan seorang perempuan. untuk itu, buatlah diri kita menjadi cantik dengan hati dan keindahan budi pekerti kita, dengan ketulusan dan ketajaman pikiran kita, dan dengan kekuatan pikiran kita. hingga kita siap menyongsong indahnya menjadi perempuan cantik dan dunia pun bercerita tentang kecantikan kita ..

i'm lost :(

buat yg ol di ym dan liat status gue, judul postingannya mirip sama status..
Ya, gue ilang :(
Kenapa? Kenapa? Kenapa?

And the story begins..
Hari Senin ditengah kekhusyuan gue ngerjain soal Physics, Mbak Sri tiba-tiba masuk dan berkata,
"Nanti yang mau ikut seleksi OSN tingkat sekolah, tulis namanya di kertas ini ya. Ini saya kasih ke ketua kelas (dalam hal ini Irfan)"

hmm.. awalnya sih gue gg tertarik buat ikut OSN sejak gue menyadari kalo gue emang gg cocok buat ikut olimpiade, cocoknya ikut lomba biasa aja..

*FLASHBACK*
-deenz, SMP kelas 2 @ Nurul Fikri Boarding School-
Hari itu merupakan hari yg paling gue tunggu, sejak guru biologi gue mengeluarkan petisi bahwa nanti ada 13 anak yg bakal ikut seleksi OSN tingkat sekolah, dan gue termasuk. Bidang yang diujikan ada biologi, fisika dan matematika. Sejenak gue berpikir, gue mau pilih yg mana ya? Biologi? Entah kenapa daya ingat gue cepet banget hilang. Fisika? Lumayan gampang sih (untuk saat itu) Matematika? Dan akhirnya gue memutuskan untuk memilih matematika.

Guru biologi yg gemuk subur itupun membagikan lembar soal

DENG! Gue kaget
Ternyata bukan kami yg disuruh memilih, tapi kami semua diberikan ketiga mapel tersebut! Aduh mana soal biologi pake soal persiapan MOSI (Menuju Olimpiade Sains I..? entah Indonesia atau Internasional) yg diselenggarakan tahun lalu, dan gue nggak ikut. Pintar sekali. Fisika.. ternyata gg segampang yg gue sangka. Matematika.. logika semua (baca: tipe soal olimpiade). Akhirnya dengan suram gue ngerjain soal" biadab itu.

Hari pengumuman tiba..
Ternyata gue gg keterima, karena yg diambil 3 orang utk biologi, 3 orang utk fisika, dan 3 orang utk matematika. Sempet terbersit rasa kecewa sih.. tapi nggak apa" lah. Belom rezeki kali. Pas gue tanya nilainya, ternyata gue dapet yang paling tinggi di Matematika se-Tholibah (murid cewek. ah gg gaul ah gg tau ;P) tapi nilai gue cuma 2 dari 10 soal^^; Akhirnya setelah seleksi OSN itu, yang lolos biologi cewek semua.. fisika 1 cewek 2 cowok.. dan matematika cowok semua. Waw. Tapi dari situ, gue dapet manfaatnya. Dengan gg terpilihnya gue buat ikut OSN, peluang gue buat ikut lomba lain gede banget. Sebut saja Lomba Siswa Teladan, Lomba Cerdas Cermat, English Debate, dan lain-lain. (maaf yaa.. gg maksud sombong :( )

-deenz, kelas X SMAN 8 Jakarta-
Ada selebaran magnetik sanggup yg menarik mataku untuk meliriknya. Ternyata itu nama-nama anak yg bakal ikut seleksi study club untuk persiapan OSN. Dicari" nama gue, kok nggak ada ya. Akhirnya gue baru inget kalo formulir itu dibagiin pas gue sakit seminggu, jadi gue gg kedaftar. Tapi alhamdulillah, anak yg namanya gg ada di daftar boleh ikut. Guepun dilema..

Komputer atau Astronomi yaa?
Alasan:
- Komputer.. gue pernah ikut science clubnya sih, dan untungnya masih ada modulnya. Setidaknya gue punya dasarnya
-Astronomi.. gue tertarik buat nyoba hal-hal yg gue suka. Dan soalnya gue sempet punya cita" buat jadi astronom dan bikin teleskop yg lebih hebat dari Hubble.

Setelah meminta pendapat banyak orang dan diri gue sendiri, gue akhirnya memutuskan buat ikut Astronomi.

Pas tes, soalnya gg jauh beda dari soal ulangan harian geografi. Dan bodohnya, gue masih sempet tidur.

Pas pengumuman, jelaslah gue gg keterima. Gue tidur dan kurang persiapan. Tapi gue menyadari satu keanehan. Kenapa nama Avi ada di hasil Kimia n Astronomi ya? Udahlah, gue pasrah. Toh gue udah sibuk sama Kumon, tutor, dan lainnya.

Tapi baru-baru ini gue sadar (lebih tepatnya berhipotesis) kalo sebenernya gue yg keterima. Masalahnya ada di kode peserta. Buat anak reguler, kode pesertanya ngikut kelas, misalnya kelas XF, kodenya jadi 1F------. Tapi ternyata kode anak inter mirip-mirip gitu... Kan gue kelas X inter A yg kodenya 1A00008. Pas gue cek kode pesertanya Avi baru-baru ini (pas dia masih di reguler; sekarang dia aksel), ternyata kode pesertanya 1A08008 dan itu gg jauh beda sama gue. Pantesan aja komputernya salah masukin nama. Dan pas gue tanya teman gue sesama inter yg keterima study club, mereka bukan 1A0000x, tapi jadi 1J0000x. AAAAAHHHH! Udahlah, nggak apa-apa. Mungkin emang gue gg jodoh sama OSN...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tapi gue pengen nyoba lagi. Bukan astronomi, karena pas dilihat" catetan anak astronomi, gue gg ngerti apa-apa. Yaudah daripada mati di kandang singa, mendingan gue mencoba menoreh nama baru atas nama Komputer. Dan tesnya besok. Doain yaaa semoga lulus :)

OMAKE (a.k.a ekstra): Gue dari jam 12 OL cuma buat nungguin temen gue yg ikut SC (study club) komputer, tapi dia gg OL". Dan gue nyoba" Pascal dan gue gg tau gimana cara run programnya. Sementara itu, gue belom belajar ekonomi dari catetan yg ada 9 lembar bolak balik, padahal besok midtest. bodooooh :(

tell me your result!

1st-taken from here

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.


Actually, I've already answer this test.. but I forgot to post it.. --;


2nd-taken also from here

Here is the analysis:

1. You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.
2. You don't really care about other people's feelings. You do things the way you want and usually think only about yourself. You are easy-going and love to have fun, but you can be irresponsible as well. You are not keen on serious discussions because they can make you remember that life isn't always about parties.
   
3. You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.
4. Guys see you as being a thinker and a careful person. They will be really attracted to this quality in you, but you need to learn to speak your mind, otherwise people will find you too shy and quiet. Learn to relax and lighten up--it's okay to have fun sometimes. When you learn to develop your fun-loving side, guys are going to flock to your side.
5. Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

3rd-click me

Here is the analysis:

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

haha.. Well, we can't fully believe this, but somehow I believe some of these :)

2nd mid-term exam = IGCSE is almost here! >.<

This weekend.. it's a long weekend actually. Because on Monday, we have the Birth of Prophet Muhammad (p.m.b.u.h), and it's included in national holy-days (^.^). And the day after is the MASSAL SLAUGHTERING *it's kinda exaggerating. haha :)*. No, it's the first day of 2nd semester mid-term test! Okay, let's take a look at the schedule

Day 1 ESL Listening + Religion (ESL listening, is my main problem. Religion? The teacher didn't teach anything to us, just ask to read the book. hahaha)

Day 2 Biology Paper 1 & 3 (noooo...! biology is one of my 'beloved' subject)

Day 3 Chemistry Paper 2 & 4 (it's difficult enough, but somehow I love it :D)

Day 4 Mathematics Paper 2 & 4 (quite easy.. but I have some problems in understanding several materials -________-)

Day 5 Physics Paper 2 & 4 (I DON'T UNDERSTAND RADIOACTIVITY AT ALL!)

Day 6 ESL Reading-Writing & Speaking (First, I have limited vocabs. Second, I have minim verbal ability -____-)

Day 7 Geography & P.E. (What the heck P.E. theoritical exam are held for?)

Day 8 Economy & Bahasa (need some practise, and I should complete my notes ASAP)

oh yeah, I SHOULD REALLY STUDY HARD to achieve the best. And I tried to increase my average report score, so my father will let me join LKS.

What is LKS?

LKS stands for Latihan Kepemimpinan Siswa (Student Leadership Training). It's the Student Council program to recruit the new Student Council governers, or the 'bosses' of each subsi. First, students who interested were given the form, then the senior make some appointment to interview the pre-LKS participant. Then, it's the backstage (Student Council)'s job to filtrate those who have talent or qualified students to join LKS.

Alright, back to the topic..

Beside fixing my grades, I also want to increase my class rank. On the 1st semester, I was in the 8th position. It's quite good, but I'm not satisfied enough. I read the rank, and several people that I remember were:

1st Ichi

2nd Ardi

3rd Cindy

4th the-one-that-I-forgot

5th the-other-that-I-also-forgot

6th PW

7th Ryan

8th Moi!

9th Naufal

10th Khalda (if I'm not mistaken)

waaw. It's kinda hard to obtain higher rank, as I remember that those guys above me are totally intelligent.

Okay guys. I wanna apologize to you if I have mistakes, because I'm afraid if one of you still angry with me, my way to success will be blocked. Okaaay? And also pray a lot for me:

1. For the midtest's success

2. For the approval of LKS

3. For the IGCSE exam success (straight A* amiiin!)

(PS: I'm not angry with DDA anymore; for those who still curious. I'm not a person who love to keep the angry; I'm just forgot it and let it flew.. hahaha :p I felt sorry to DDA. Maybe at that time, 'dia' have some problems that I don't know. I'm so sorry DDA -______-)

hidup menghisap! (a.k.a life sucks!)

disclaimer judul posting: Ardi (hahaha)

"Kenapa orang dewasa makin umurnya nambah, bukannya makin dewasa, tapi makin kekanakan?"

Hal ini baru gue temuin beberapa bulan akhir ini, di mana nyokap gue kayaknya udah angkat tangan sama semua kelakuan gue yg 'tak terduga' yg gue lakukan di rumah, mengingat gue SMP di boarding, bukan di sekolah full day. Mungkin dia gg menduga kalo ternyata gue kayak gini (jangan mikir aneh-aneh. I'm still a good girl though).

Hmm gimana gue bisa menyimpulkan hal itu? Gue menyimak tingkah laku bokap nyokap gue dengan baik sekali. Gimana nggak? Gue tinggal bertiga sama mereka; ditambah kakak angkat gue satu orang.

Dari hasil pengamatan gue, ada beberapa pernyataan yg mendukung hipotesis tersebut (waw jadi formal! -apacb-)
1. Seneng banget nyuruh orang buat ngambilin sesuatu, padahal jarak dia ke benda tsb lebih deket dari jarak orang yg disuruh ke benda tsb.
2. Kalo bangun tidur suka ngomel-ngomel, sampe kena imbas ke orang sekitarnya, dan akhirnya orang tersebut kabur dari rumah.
3. Nggak mau ngalah, terutama sama anak sendiri. Sedikitpun.
4. LEBAY. Banget. Lebaynya bukan dalem bentuk aksi atopun perkataan, tapi lebih daripada itu. Lebaynya 'terutama' dalem hal menduga-duga, kayak "Kenapa ni hape kok error terus?" trus dia pasti jawab "Iya nih, setannya mau halang"in ak buat gini gini bla bla..". Padahal function hape tersebut agak di 'miring'kan, dan tidak diperlakukan sebagaimana mestinya (asyik deeeh)

See? Kadang-kadang gue suka gg percaya kalo gue bisa tumbuh dgn lingkungan keliarga kayak gini. Dan terserah apa opini kalian tentang gue yg gg bisa 'hidup normal' layaknya remaja seusia gue. Yang perlu gue tekankan, ini perilaku gg sehat sama sekali. Dan gara-gara ini, gue bener-bener pengen jadi housewife. haaah :(

Punya ide untuk mengatasi orang seperti ini?

mencoba tuk bersabar.. masih adakah sabarku untuknya?

deenz sediiiiih banget..
baru pertama kali deenz ngerasain yg namanya bener-bener gloomy di sekolah.
padahal asal kalian tau, yg namanya hidup gue 99% sekolah, 1% rumah. jadi kalo di sekolah gue lebay, ato gue happy, menggila, dan semacemnya yg menurut kalian "apaan sih ni orang? lebay, girang gg jelas, dsb. gausa temenan sama dia deh." maklumin yaa. soalnya cuma di sekolah tempat gue bener-bener seneng, tempat gue punya temen (yeah, my friends at home are only laptop -not mine-, hp, ipod, and my bedroom), tempat gue bisa ngomong (gue hampir gg pernah ngomong sama bonyok. kadang-kadang gue iri sama orang yg bisa cerita, at least ngobrol-ngobrol sama bonyoknya, kayak orang yg bakal gue ceritain sekarang.) dan ya, semangat sekolah gue sekarang bener-bener down gara-gara orang satu ini. (buat sang terdakwa yg baca, please ngertiin keabnormalan gue.)

oke, sang terdakwa kita simbolkan dengan nama DDA. hmm.. dia koleris, tipe pemimpin. kalo diliat secara keseluruhan, dan walopun lo kenal dia bentar aja, lo gg bakal nyangka kalo dia bikin gue kayak gini (serasa apaan aja sih). orangnya bener-bener friendly, ramah, pinter, cakep? kalo menurut kacamata umum bisa dibilang cakep. tapi gara-gara hal ini, gue berubah persepsi tentang dia. and now, let the story begins..

senin, 2 maret 2009
Hari ini ada upacara. Seperti biasa, gue dan beberapa sahabat gue langsung ke lapangan. Upacara berjalan seperti biasa. Jam-jam sekolahpun selanjutnya juga berjalan lancar, bisa dibilang menyenangkan. Apalagi dengan kehadiran 'dua kombi abadi' yg duduk di belakang gue. Awalnya gue seneng, soalnya bisa dibilang mereka salah satu sebab gue betah di sekolah. Dan hari ini bisa dibilang (mungkin menurut kacamata orang-orang) adalah klimaksnya kelebayan gue. Gue jatoh dari kursi cuma buat ngambil spidol yg jatoh di bawah meja, dan akhirnya salah satu dari kombi itu ngambilin buat gue (makasih banyak yaa!). Dan pas mau istirahat, gue gg sengaja ngejepit lengan kombi yg satu lagi. Yaudah, gue feel bad sama dia :( Abis istirahat sih damai-damai aja. Pas istirahat solat kayaknya udah mulai-mulai dia 'sensi' ke gue. Pas gue naik tangga ke kelas, dia juga turun tangga buat solat. Dan dia gg nyapa gue. Mungkin kalian mikir, apaan sih, nyapa doang diperhatiin. Tapi buat orang kayak dia, itu hal yg aneh! (mengingat dia orang yg ramah). Udah lah, cuma sekali ini. Paling nanti baik lagi, pikir gue. Istirahat kedua, awal-awalnya biasa aja. Dia cerita-cerita, dan gue mendengarkan dgn baik (i'm a good listener, a rare hobby). Gue appreciate dgn ceritanya.

Nah, puncak kekesalan gue muncul pas pelajaran terakhir, yaitu math. Chairmate gue kehilangan uang yg cukup besar, dan gue pengen pinjemin uang gue ke dia, tapi dia gg mau terima. Nah, si DDA ini bercanda-candain lah duit gue itu. Trus gue dengan penuh kelebayan bilang, kalo uang punya nyawa, dia pasti nangis. Pas ilang dia dicari-cari, pas ketemu gg diakui (iya lah, orang itu duit gue). Abis itu, kayaknya si DDA males main sama gue, dan dia ngelempar duit gue yg ditangannya. Bagus banget. Udah gitu, gue gloomy, sampe diliatin sama kombi yg baik hati itu :) Yg bikin gue tambah tersinggung, pas dia balikin pensil yg dia pinjem, dia juga ngasih bolpen-yg-gue-gg-tau-itu-punya-siapa. Dia nyuruh gue buat nyimpen bolpen itu. Dan gue nolak, takutnya kalo gue pinjem, ntar kelupaan dan jatohnya ghosob (ngambil barang milik orang lain tanpa izin), dan gue bilang buat taro aja bolpen itu di atas meja. Tapi dia malah maksa (dengan nada agak membentak), bilang "apa susahnya sih nyimpen bolpen doang?" JLEB! Itu bener-bener nusuk. Nada ngomongnya gg enak, omongannya dalem pula. Padahal kita sama-sama lagi puasa. Yaudah gue diemin aja, dengan hati yg bener-bener (mungkin) gg bisa maafin si DDA.

Gue bener-bener udah capek buat sabar. Gue sebisa mungkin dengerin cerita orang, sampe orang yg kayak mike (maaf yaa mike) juga gue dengerin. Kenapa? Karena gue tau banget rasanya gg didengerin sama orang dan itu bener-bener pahit. Kalo kayak gitu, gue langsung diem, gg berani buat ngomong apa-apa lagi. Lagian buat apa? Kita gg didengerin kok maksa buat cerita.
