National Exam

I've been busy for National Exam preparation lately. It makes me lose my contact with the outer world. I hardly go to mall, listen to the music, keeping up with tv series. I'm probably the most ignorant person lately. You can call me "Sisi the caveman" and I won't be offended.

By the way, I have some tips for you to achieve satisfying scores on UAN aka National Exam:
1. Do as many UAN exercises as you can. The more the better. You can learn better by knowing the pattern of UAN's questions and study only what you need.
2. No need to re-study the previous material in details. Just skim the material UAN will ask.
3. You will need to sacrifice your time. Exchange all fun with more effort. That's the price you have to pay. Better struggle now then end up crying.

So readers, wish you all luck in facing UAN.

with love,

Spiritual Journey

In the middle of reading Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, I find myself in need of a spiritual journey. I want to get close to God and strengthen my grip in Christianity. I begin to think of joining the morning prayer in my church. Held every Tuesday and Thursday.

I find it hard for me to pray in my own house. I can't let this condition to keep going. It will make my spiritual soul degenerate. So yeah, joining the morning prayer is one good solution. But the major problem I'm having is the ability to wake up early.

Still, I got to try though. And not only try, but also to succeed. So within 2 weeks from now, I want to find myself joining morning prayers in my church.

dilemma

but, that ain't the way my mom wants me to live my life. she has designed an ideal life from me. she wants me to live an ordinary life, away from troubles!

what really traps me in dilemma is my firm believe in this nature law:
"if you disobey your parents, you will find hardships in life."

i'm ready if hardships = pain; but i'm not ready if hardships = have to live below my current life standards.

this is the kind of life i wanted:
1. all fun!
2. hook up with different type of guys, especially hot Indonesian males.
3. single 'til 30
4. becoming a down-to-earth activist

i don't wanna marry young! i want FUN! enjoy everything life can offer us.
i want to be a person who's not afraid of pain. i want to feel what it's like to suffer from pain!
i'm bored of this calm tide

love ya life?

love ya life has ambiguity:

1. "love ya, life!" --> showing my affection to my life.
2. "love ya life!" --> telling you to love yours as i love mine. ;)

it's all about how you read and absorb!

Welcome 2010!

happy new yeaarrr! although it's 15 days away the day i post a happy new year entry. i got lots of new year resolution to be realized this year. here they are:

1. Menghafal 10 lagu piano.
2. Lebih fasih dalam bahasa Mandarin.
3. Mengimprove bahasa Inggris.
4. Menjadi aktivis lingkungan atau sosial.
5. Mengembangkan skill bersosialisasi.
6. Berlatih berbicara.
7. Akting class.
8. Kelas jurnalistik.

Socializing is quite a problem for me, you know. Sometimes I feel i'm cracky when I meet someone face to face or just talking on the phone. This is a weakness I shouldn't ignore. Reason is I want to make the best of my life, and trust me, you can't without good socializing skill!

I also want to take an acting class or join in a theatre. Frankly, I don't aim for leading role. I'm quite stuffed with supporting role. But you gotta dream big. If you just aim supporting role, you might end up not having a role at all. You know, the moon and cloud dream phylosophy:
"Never put up your hopes on a cloud, you might fell to the roof. Put them on a moon, the hardest you fell would be on cloud."
So yeah, I'm aiming for leading role. I gotta do my best here in acting. Thanks to SKIPI Jam 2010's workshop with Manahan Hutahuruk. You rock, sirrr! Tony Awards calibre acting! :) In fact, I expand my dream to: working at Indonesia's entertainment industry. Indonesia's entertainer do entertainment as their hobbies, their favourite things to do. Their entertainment career are for fun, not burdening or stressful like the way things are in Hollywood. So actually, living in Indonesia, you can do as many things as you like. :P

As for journalising. I'm interested because I love writing! I want to do that for fun. Like I write occasionally for a magazine or newspaper. Not a routine column and then turn writing to be my life. That's not the way I want.

Hey, I just realized:
We can do anything in Indonesia!

If we go to Hollywood, we have to be a real professional and real talented. And we have to make things we do our professions, our lives. But here in Indonesia, a little talent and occasional publicity are just enough. So I can be an accountant while I be a theatre actress, magazine journalist and stuffs. Yay!

I'm beginning to enjoy my life. Thanks for those around who give inspiration and for those tv shows!

LOVE YA LIFE!
