The upcoming UN

Ujian Nasional dibuat dengan banyak paket untuk mencegah kecurangan. As far as I'm concerned, that's the biggest (if not the only) reason. So, I know what to expect dari orang2 yang luar biasa senang simply karena UN ga jadi 20 paket, tapi 5.

When the story of your life is facing some bad chapters, remember that the story will not end until it reached its happy ending.

Talents

Last month, I had the chance to coach some very talented students. They're my juniors back at high school. I am honored to be able to witness their growth. I'm not only talking about physique and intelligence. I'm talking about maturity, emotional, and spiritual growth altogether.

My juniors were preparing for a big competition at FE UI. I remembered those times when I share my stories with them. I reembered those times when I saw their tears of despair.

However, I kept my trust in them. These gifted kids have my full support. I prayed for their success. I still do, up until now.

In the end, they proved their worth in the competition. They won it big time. I'm so proud of them.

Hello, weekend!

The first week of the 2nd semester is done. In my opinion, the classes are mostly equipped with professional lecturers. Most of them are proficient in speaking English. That is good, bcs basically that is what we paid for. However, we're going to be bombarded with assignments. I hope I can endure it. However, now is the time for me to enjoy my weekend. (Not really)

For me, the best team is a group comprised of the best individuals.

The battles between ideologies are the ones that could not be solved without a save compromy from both sides.

Leaving Bogor

Today marks the end of my long holiday. Right now, I'm writing whilst on the road to Depok. With a new smile on my face, a clear vision in my head, and a delicious lunchbox on my head, let the new semester begin!

The dawn of a new year

Happy lunar new year, everyone!

It's a pleasure to have this chance. New year is the moment for us to really tale a step back, remind ourselves about the blessings we have received, and to start anew. I hope I can pull myself together and continue to pursue my dreams :)

I hope you remember

Remember those times when the future is yours and yours alone?
Remember those times when you do something because you love it?
Remember those times when you're still yourself, and not somebody else?
Remember those times when dreams are dreams, and not expectations?

I do, and I hope you will too.

Dedicated to my dearest, funniest, and dumbest, Aga.

Reality

At last, the holiday is ending. I have just left the paradise I called home. It's goin to be a while before I will be able to smell that air again. I'm about to re-enter reality. Campus, assignments, debates, and other activities that may or may not excite me. However, I'm going to take the bright side: everything will be better. My retreat and encounter with families and friends have greatly rejuvenate my passion. In the end, that's what vacation is all about: a retreat from daily routines to restore your energy and spirit. Therefore, I can safely declare that I am back, and ready for more.

Pure Happiness

This is beyond any form of compensation.

Thank you, E-Club Foursma.

A pause and a change

It has been more than one year since I posted on this blog. A part of me thinks it's just because I'm lazy. The other part, however, believes that the hiatus was caused because I was in fact, changing at that time. I can feel some differences inside myself now.

To start, I think I'm more mature right now. I am not the emotional and angry person I used to be. Being accepted into one of the biggest law schools in indonesia helped. I know how to behave rationally. That doesn't mean I've lost my crazy side completely, though. That side will be back, that's for sure.

Next, I am more aware of myself. Not only in terms of physical appearance and clothings, but also how I project myself in front of other people. I know it's highly dependant to what other people perceive. Then again, it's always good to know what you're saying.

Lastly, I am now a supporter of personal joy and happiness. I'm no longer a believer of inherited responsibility. I believe that everyone have the right to do something because they like what they do, instead of fulfilling the wish and expectation of others.

All in all, this is a change that I am experiencing. In my opinion, all are good changes. I hope that the next time I pause my writings, I can come back stronger, more mature, and ready to write some more interesting chapters.
