2010-09-29T15:31:00.002+02:00

I really...really...enjoyed my lazy days hahahhaahaha

*unimportant post just to filled in my blog :p

Enjoying every step in life

2010-09-20T21:25:00.002+02:00

Just arrived at my home town in Jakarta, after a year in Holland...what shall I say except I feel very sad to leave my life there, my friends whom I think as my family and the shopping places there hehe...

When I sat down on my plane, I just thought each hour that place was became far and far away, that I could not go back although I really want to... and tears fell down while I closed my eyes and imagined things that I left there, an opportunity...

Sometimes I mad at myself because I let the opportunity, the experience to find job and stay there a little bit longer fly away..but then,, I think an important reason why I left the country...Family..that's what matter most...

So, I try to enjoy the step I took, the opportunity that come with each step, and family and friends that always be there even though we're far away now... and friends who waiting me here :)

Yes, I'm glad I have those experiences which not many have the opportunity to study abroad,,, aaaah... I hope I know become a better person... and still find a way to become a better person than yesterday...

The Skyrocket Internet

2010-06-19T01:16:00.004+02:00

Inspired by rnw.nl to write about our experience in Holland, thus it reminds me why I created this blog :)

So , now I will write about one thing that I could not live without it while I'm in Rotterdam....which areeeeee........

INTERNET and my LAPTOP

Of course,,how could I live without them that always accompanying me EVERYDAY and EVERY HOUR, and even EVERY SINGLE MINUTE (wait...I'm not exaggerating...seriously haha)

It's true, here in Holland the internet speed is really amazing...well not that I've tried internet access in every country but...as far as I know Holland has the fastest internet connection....woohooo.... so I could streaming movies in just a sec, I don't have to wait at all and downloading everything I want (everything? hmmm...)

This is how I say internet and laptop are the biggest part of my life:

10.00am (well...not that early,,,but you don't have to know exactly what time I wake up every morning hehe...) I woke up

10.02am Turn on my laptop, sit down and start open Facebook

10.30am Still in front of my laptop, browsing things

11.00am okay maybe we should skip to...

14.00pm it's lunch time, cooking etc

15.30pm go back to where I belong...laptop and internet

etc....

02.00am time to sleep, turn off my laptop and say goodnight to everyone in facebook (okay...it starting to freaking me out...am I a freak??)

Why? okay,,let see... I have broad access to journal for my thesis so I just need to search it in google schoolar and then read it...if I found something I don't understand or interesting I will then google it again, I don't have to wait more than 3 second to found my search items.

Yahoo Messenger... It's an easy access for me to talk with my friends and family although they're far away..and also free hahaha

Watching dramas, tv serial or movies from internet??? say yeeees...!!

Facebook...yep...I think I could not live without it..sometimes it gives me more information than news channels :p ( I mean like how is he doing now?? woow....you have new Iphone?? what you have new boyfriend??...yeah something like that hahaha)

etc. etc. etc.

what? I don't have social life here you think? no..not really...because most of the time I spent my day at home for my thesis....however, I do have many friends here...If not because of them,,,,maybe I would became Crazy girl (you're not??)

So the point is...I will definitely miss the internet connection here in Holland if I got back home :D...and my laptop of course since I would not use it anymore hehe....

Kiss Kiss

Long week

2010-06-15T01:15:00.004+02:00

This week is an re-sit exam week and thesis week as well... need to study while doing my thesis. However it just a very big plan for me and I did not do it like that... Mostly after I have my exam I should be writing on my thesis but instead of that, I just watching korean drama.... these daya I don't have enough spirit to do anything especially studying =_='

I could not sleep well, my thesis is waiting for me and the day after tomorrow I will have my second re-sit. So what's the point of writing a blog then? just to delay my thesis time hahaha which I always did nowadays.

Okay,, since I need to pull my energy...I'm planning to go to Kinderdijk this saturday...biking... underlined the word Biking hehehe... I hope everything going well and I could enjoy my weekend like everybody else in this world :)

I wanna go here !

I've Survived!!

2010-02-25T20:29:00.008+01:00

this is the picture when snow falling heavily....huuuff..... I have class that day sigh....

After the snow, my Tram stuck somewhere so I should walk to school....

I though well....since this might be the opportunity to see some snow, why don't took pics

So, the neighborhood cover with snow, and now should I say Goodbye snow and welcome to the new season Spring?? hehehe

Music save my life??

2010-02-23T20:13:00.005+01:00

Suddenly I remember about my MP3 Player, this Ipod is my 3rd Mp3 player after I lost the other 2 huhuuh....

The first one is the Ipod classic in Pink, I love it very much. I always carried it with me wherever I go. It was such a good friend accompanied me when I was on the way to campus... Give me sometimes just to faced some boring day hehe...

but, once I almost lost because every time I went to campus by bus I always put on my Ipod, so I could sleep or just starring out of the window and day dreaming with music as a background.... and at that time, my bus decide to use the highway because the other road was stuck with traffic jam. I didn't hear the driver announcement to warned him if we want to stop in some place which he passed it. So when I realized it wont go through the road that I have to stop, I'm was panicking, so I ask the driver why we use the highway (since I didnt hear it) and the driver blame it to the person who collected the money (I dont know in english but we called it 'Kondektur') because he didnt informed me before (well,,actually it was my mistake hehehe so sorry)

So, I end up stop in the middle of highway where all the car run very fast hiiks.... and my campus was locate it in front of the highway. then I should walk slowly and since there is a bridge, I need to use the ladder to get down huhuhuhu....

And I lost it when I was going to Puncak with my friend, I remember put it in my bag and then...it just disappears like magic huhuuhuhuh

but, its really a nice and exciting experience hehehe with my ipod....so friends...do not plug your ear if you're going to take bus in Indonesia, because sometime there are some changes on the way to your work or home hehehe...unpredictable...yes yes...

The other want is Sony mp3 player, I forget which type. My dad bought it for me to replace my long lost Ipod (hiks...) but then I lost it too...!! well...this time its my mistake because I didn't put in safe place and somebody just took it hiiks...( I wonder how he's gonna play it without any software,,,geeez....)

And now, my Purple (I don't know why I choose that color hahaha) Ipod. I hope it will always stay by my side hehehehe muuuaaaah...!!

The Assignment

2010-02-21T00:22:00.003+01:00

For me, writing is not an easy task...besides that I'm very lazy to write or type, sometimes I'm stuck in the middle of writing...like I don't know what else I should say...

This time I'm stuck with my International Criminal Law assignment. I have to write 2500-3000 words about a topic. I choose 'The Relationship between International Tribunal and Domestic Courts'. I think its an interesting topic to know what might be their relationship, however after I read some journals and books which then I picked 'the Completion Strategy', I still don't find any idea what to write AND...the deadline is tomorrow at 12pm... gosh....

Until now, I'm still writing the introduction without any progress...then read some blogs...continue my writing...stuck...open shopping online website...get back to my work...stuck...went to the kitchen and took some cakes, made a coffee just to make sure I'll be awake until morning come....

I know, it might be bring to write my assignment here....but maybe I could get an idea for writing...
hmmm.....okay, its about International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) that established by the Security Council to prosecuted person who commit killing for some ethnic in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Trust me, its one of cruel things happened in those Countries,, its like Nazi.

However, the Tribunal only existed for temporary until all the indictments (the bad guys) being jailed for what they've done. Then, the Tribunal need a strategy to complete all the cases in a certain period. Thus they made some steps to carry out the strategy.

What make me confused is that I have to focus with the topic I've choose....then where the hell is the relation between the Tribunal and Domestic Courts??

Yess....it is in the steps which the Tribunal should carry out. One of the steps is to refer the low and middle rank accused to national courts that is to former countries of Yugoslavia. However, it is not that easy to refer the cases to national courts since the accused may have some influence for the Countries (they are the military people).

And then...what? now that what I should work on it...

Okay...wish me luck and I hope I'll upload my assignment on time huhuhuhu....

Shop...shopping...

2010-02-15T17:27:00.005+01:00

Welcome home Baby :)

I bought this shoes after hours thinking about it, well..I think it's really a good bargain from 40 euro to 16 euro??? of course,, How women could insist that SALE things??

So...I decide to buy this shoes and promise with myself that I won't shop again until next month (crossing finger hehe...)

Now, let's Study!!!!

Snow oh Snow

2010-02-15T12:50:00.003+01:00

It's in the middle of February and now I'm screaming for Summer!!
Apparently, snow is still here with temperature under O degree... I always love snow that pouring down the Earth, but my physical condition is not really good now due to cold weather everyday...So I just felt tired when I see snow hiikss....

However, this year might be the only year I could enjoy the snow since I only have one year to study and live here in Netherlands... thus, I decided to enjoy each day I have here...despite the problems and sometimes I feel bored with this situation hehe...

And also It's not only me who feel those things, most of my friends have the same feeling nevertheless we have each other to laugh with and to cry with.

Oh yeah about the photo, I took it when I was buying 'Nasi-Goreng met kip' a Chinese-Surinamese restaurant. It's really delicious, with 'Small portion' in a big plate hehe... I always eat here with my friends after we went to Central or just hang out with them. Next time I will take some photos from the restaurant...yummy!!

Smile

2010-02-06T23:45:00.004+01:00

Indeed,, smile is actually the best cure for every bad things we face in life. I got this problem that really bugging me while I'm not in my best time a.k.a PMS... I could stop thinking it, it just make me feel gloomy... But, smiles and cares from friends who are really care about you is the best cure ever.... :) so, when you feeling down just look at people who really care you and SMILE. I'm really grateful that I met so many kind friends here and they offered me sincere friendships...I hope I could return them what they have gave to me... Yes, God always has the way to show me that everything gonna be okay...even though I'm far away from my family, best friends and him, but in return He gives me them :) I'm really grateful to you God

2010-02-05T18:36:00.003+01:00

But I called it an ART in studying :)

One from three

2010-02-03T02:34:00.003+01:00

I just finished my assignment and I hope I sent it correctly to my lecturer since he is new in EUR so he doesnt have account in sin-online. sooo...I should sent my assignment with common mail... I hope it sent to correct mail address.

Gosh....these days I am feeling so lazy to do something especially studying... and the scariest thing is I only like cooking!!! whaaat?? I'm here not for cooking but studying!!
Okay, maybe I should get married next year hehe...

btw, I cooked Chicken Nanking, it end up too salty I think...hmm...but maybe I could open a Restaurant after this?

I Love Cheap things hehe

2010-01-30T16:53:00.003+01:00

Yep..yesterday I went to Primark where it has very cheap prices for everything, emmm... Its like a common stores actually, selling everyday stuffs but in a cheaper prices...veeeery cheap hehe...

I thought it would be like 'Mayestik' that has many small stores and sell so many things, but thanks God, it only have clothes, underwear and accessories :)

I bought shoes, shirt, umbrella ( regret it a lil bit hiiiks...) and something that I wont put it in here hehehe.... after all the stores finally I found this one...it save me from bankruptcy...nice one...

huff...why am I soo lazy to write??? just few paragraph but I already want to stop...hmm... I have to focus on my paper after all, but I always distracted to other things....

Now, This is My Life

2010-01-20T23:42:00.003+01:00

I will life my live for the fullest...

If I stumble and fall, I will give all my strength to stand up and walk again like nothing happen..
because I need to have a positive thinking so nothing bad would happen to me again... I cant stuck in my past...nooooo waay....

I will learn from my mistakes, because it taught me a lot than if I learned it by books and school...

Yeah, school only give us their theory and their idea of what we should do in our life, what is right for community and what is not... but we really learn it when we do something but failed...then you are LEARNING...

Why? then you know 100ways for making mistakes so you know what you should do when you find a dead end in your life... no...there is no dead end, there always a way to escape...you just don't see it yet...

Yes...what ever God give me, it will always a gift that I receive from Him... I wont complain like a drama queen... I have a beautiful life, so many chances for me and I wont screw it out... I know this is His way to teach me something important for my life...

That is why...I will always be grateful for my life and the most important is THINK POSITIVE!!

Exams week

2010-01-18T22:50:00.002+01:00

Hell yeah...I'm in the middle of war now hohohoho....

I just had my first exam in Blok 2 today and I totally screw the first part,, the thing is that after I finished the exam...all I want to do was just laugh and laugh.... really....when I was working on my 2nd part, I almost smiling thinking that I really messed up with the first one....

well... the good thing is at least I'm not losing my humour...or maybe I'm just to desperate...
hmmm..... I want to go find something to eat, very hungry now.

I am not being confidence

2010-01-07T23:00:00.002+01:00

That's why I like this Quote:

"Do one think that scare you Everyday"

by: Eleanor Roosevelt

Okay...what things that scare me? hmm... talk to my coordinator? nooo...that is waaaay to scary hahaha... tomorrow? hmm... I don't know... I don't feel like myself now... I don't even now who am I anymore...what my thought, idealism, knowledge, attitude, I don't know anymore... sometime I felt lost... sometime I felt this is just a dream... because I could not feel myself...

Who Am I exactly?

hmmm.... I think I am in the middle of quarter life crisis... yes I am...

Maybe... or Maybe...?

2010-01-07T22:34:00.003+01:00

When I was in high school, my dearest friends told me that I am being used by one of friend (she's public enemy in our class hehe...) and don't be so kind to her...

and now...after so many years... (not) so many experienced with people... I heard that thing again... "you're being used... be careful!"

Ha...!! really.. is there something wrong with me being nice? I was thinking when I am still in high school that I am okay if someone approach me and ask for help or anything... I though as long as I could help them and nothing bad would happen, so why not? I was very sad that time, when my (best) friend ask me to stay away from that person... well... fyi, that person was not really favourite friend... almost everyone doesn't like her... that is why she's called Public Enemy... haha... childhood can be so harsh for some people...

and now, when I'm in twenties something, someone telling me that I am to nice and was being used by someone... okay... did I change? after few years I think I am not really changing... but now what did I think about that?

Well... don't we always have an interest to other people? could we live without no one? we have friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, good relationship with some people... do you think they don't have any interest or not taking benefit from you? hmm... if you think it's not..maybe you should rethink :p

haha... no...just kidding...yes, I am not changing at all...maybe some part of me being more wise and have more experience DEALING with people... but, I still have that THOUGHT... I will help you no matter what... why? I don't know... for now I still don't have the answer...

Or maybe...

It's me just being selfish? I don't want to be burden by others problem... just help them and the problems will be solve...tadaaaa....

hmmm...maybe...

or I am just being kind?

maybe...

geez...please don't think to much if you want to help other... just stop thinking okay... Be Yourself dear...

you

2010-01-04T00:57:00.005+01:00

You make me Laugh
You make me Cry hard
You make me Smile again
You rid all doubts in me when I sit beside you
sometimes you make me Hate you
but then you always make me so in LOVE with you...

Love...such a wonderful feeling... such a pathetic things...but...can we live without love?

I want to enjoy this feeling...the happiness, hatred, weariness, excitement, smiling just to think of you or crying because sometimes you ignoring me...

I hope you have the patient and courage to handled a girl like me :)

Me Love Window Shopping

2009-12-28T13:18:00.003+01:00

Yay..!!
Yesterday I went to central Rotterdam with my roommate who incredibly very patient for accompanying me to have a window shopping hehe...

Why?? Because there was one my favorite store giving a sale day hahha...!!

I was sooo lazy to get out from my bed, came downstairs just to have a cup of coffee and day dreaming (sshhh...that is my ritual after get up, so don't ask me what am I thinking while I am doin that) and then my phone ringing... its my friend calling me that the 'store' is having one day SALE!!

woohooo... It was really wake me up! then we went to Central..wow... one day after christmas, the streets are full with people buying stuff... because the SALE is everywhere... hahaha

I bet you would think that I bought sooo many stuffs... :D

well...no I am not haha... I eventually just bought a present for my friend and have a window shopping there... yeah... I was interesting with some shoes buuuut...its sooooo damn expensive.. huuuffff.... I could not afford it...why oh why its not in sale?

Hmm...thinking to save some money to buy the shoes....

Afterward we met some friends, planning to eat Soto but its really not my luck yesterday...the restaurant closed until 3rd of January...huhuhu... so we went to our home, bought fried chickens and made fried rice...humm...not bad :)) playing card and laughing... wow...such a relax day... I wish we could do it again..especially the 'window shopping' things haha..

Planning for tomorrow? Going to Amsterdam, visit RIJK Museum... it really a must see museum.. I already went there actually... but its really worth to see it again...^^

These Hard Times

2009-12-26T20:22:00.000+01:00

These hard times

Before arrived here, I never thought I would have hard times. School, work, my relationship, life, and home. Back then I always thought when I got difficulties in things I do, someone would help me, because I always have them besides me. I will overcome everything nicely... how naive :p

And now, everything is different. I live by myself in other country where my English and my knowledge are not enough.

I failed in my subjects and don’t know how to stand up, I am very afraid that I won’t pass my exam..ooh..please nooo…

What I think before I came here is that I would pass the exams, got my master degree, traveling around Europe and go back home. But it’s turn out not that easy as it said. I HAVE TO WORK HARD for that. So, in this upcoming year I will make some resolution to achieve for 2010, like I always do back then.

So My Resolutions are:

Pass all upcoming exams
At least before the end of January, I will find topic for my thesis
Practice speaking (Don’t afraid to be WRONG)
Study Hard ( spent at least 6 hours to study)
Save some money after shopping for traveling
Get my Master Degree
Traveling to: ITALY, PARIS, ROME, and GERMANY.
Get married?? Haha…just joking :D

Fiuuuh… not bad…I will try my best to achieve all that…Wish me Luck guys..

Happy New Year!!

PS: I found the pic from a tumblr blog, but I forget which one :p this pic really define me haha

PS2: I got the tittle from Matchbox Twenty song. Love them sooo muuuch!!

Yeay...Its SNOW

2009-12-17T11:33:00.000+01:00

Yeah....Hoping is not that bad i think and not every weather man is a liar hahaha...

I should do my assignment but here I am, blogging and enjoying the snow in Rotterdam... What a life!!!

Have a nice day everybody!!

*go back to my paper... hoaaahmmm...

Picture by:Dedy B. Rivai

Hoping 4 Snow...

2009-12-17T00:37:00.000+01:00

Funny... when some part of Europe has snow already, we still hoping the snow to come.. really..really hoping...

My friends telling me that its gonna snow tonight, well... never trust 100% to weather forecast..since its Rotterdam, you never know when the rain will come, not even the weather man
I have learn from my experience...

yeah..maybe I am a skeptical person, never really believe anything except if I see it myself... but I believe with God...the only thing I really trust, or is it maybe I am afraid of hoping to much that it will somehow disappointed me..

haaaa....well, just wait for the snow... if not we could see it on another part of europe...Switzerland maybe? errr....let me check my pocket first hehe...

Welcoming Winter

2009-12-14T18:20:00.000+01:00

My first Winter, my first experience in Europe... first impression is...AMAZING..!!!

To see the river starting to frozen, The Grass whitening...its really beautiful!!

I was smiling to see all that, want to take a picture but a little bit embarrassed with my excitement so i decided to take a picture when nobody around hahaha....

What a wonderful WINTER, I hope I won't get nosebleed because the cold weather... planning to go ice skating on Thursday... I think it going to be fun night :D

Winter Depression

2009-12-03T16:43:00.000+01:00

Have you ever felt that you are not belong to one place?

Sometimes I have that feeling... and now that feeling haunted me again...
It's really sucks... because you feel rejected and insecure... I failed.. I do nothing to fix the problems.. unproductive day.. confusion about the future...

Should I blame it to the cloudiness of Winter..?

My First Blink

2009-11-27T23:07:00.000+01:00

Welcome to my 1st Blink Blog...!!!
