My Personality

I found this one personality test where we don't need to sign up first. And after do the 4 tests, I am finally described as:

Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good judges of character. But they are mostly reserved and confide their thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.

Harmony-seeking Idealists have a lively fantasy, often an almost clairvoyant intuition and are often very creative. Once they have tackled a project, they do everything in their power to achieve their goals. In everyday life, they often prove to be excellent problem solvers. They like to get to the root of things and have a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. At the same time, they are practically oriented, well organised and in a position to tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully considered manner. When they concentrate on something, they do so one hundred percent - they often become so immersed in a task that they forget everything else around them. That is the secret of their often very large professional success.

As partners, harmony-seeking idealists are loyal and reliable; a permanent relationship is very important to them. They seldom fall in love head over heels nor do they like quick affairs. They sometimes find it very difficult to clearly show their affection although their feelings are deep and sincere. In as far as their circle of friends is concerned, their motto is: less is more! As far as new contacts are concerned, they are approachable to only a limited extent; they prefer to put their energy into just a few, close friendships. Their demands on friends and partners are very high. As they do not like conflicts, they hesitate for some time before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when they do, they make every effort not to hurt anyone as a result.

Adjectives which describe your type: introverted, theoretical, emotional, planning, idealistic, harmony-seeking, understanding, peace-loving, sensitive, quiet, sympathetic, conscientious, dogged, complicated, inconspicuous, warm-hearted, complex, imaginative, inspiring, helpful, demanding, communicative, reserved, vulnerable

Tragic Mourning Morning

I don't understand whether there has been a plan for each human or not every time they wake up in the morning. I woke up so fresh this morning planning to have some work to do, I thought it was gonna be a busy day today. The fact, it became the busiest day for my heart. My closed friend, Mega, she fell down on the street because there was a car driven so fast that I even almost got a heart attack. After all, Mega was about to be massaged by a man who works in my campus, I think he was being polite and as an old man he was probably shocked by Mega's falling down; moreover, he was worried if only there could be something worse happen to the foot. Then when he started to massage her foot, Mega suddenly collapsed and hit the edge of the place where she sat. There was blood everywhere. I got scared. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. It is the second time I saw her got bleeding because of accident. Thank God, she is okay now after the doc stitched her bleeding wound on her head. It's just hard to see someone you care gets an accident like that. Dreading dreading.. soo dreading!

Is it some kind of God's plan for her? What's behind it?

Bali, the second home

I'm starting to think that Bali is my second home. First, my grandmother lives there and I always come to her whenever I got holidays and money (considering the fact that I'm still a student). Second, I feel peaceful and free being there for there are no such regulations and worries about how to wear proper clothes etc. despite all its traditional rules. Third, beach. 

Last September, Alwan and I went there again to visit my grandma. Well, it's been quite a long time not seeing her; moreover, she kept asking me to go there. She always says this thing bothering me "Come to Bali before I'm gone.." I mean, what on earth someone sounds so predictable like that. It's just I hate talking about death. It's not that I don't care, but just avoid such words.

Alwan and I didn't stay at home all day long. We went to go around the province just to get a new place that we've never been there. We got some no beaches on the way to Padang Bai, oh it's such a very very very looooooooooong way. If you want to go there, just don't use the motor bike. Unless you want to tan your skin. Finally, we couldn't make it to Padang Bai for me being so fussy about the weather, dehydration, dust, everything. I just want to go shopping because that was my schedule for that day before I spend all the money to some kind of no-need stuffs. Then we turned around and we decided to go to Sanur. I bet you know Sanur.

There are so many things have changed in Sanur. 

Alwan went crazy at that time, he is always happy going to beach. So, I let him be while I prefer walking around it and taking picture of him.

(I got trouble to upload the pictures, I am in my office with certain capacity of bandwidth while someone here downloading a big amount size of whatever. Poor Indonesia, when can the citizens get such big bandwidth for each house?)

Me and Ice cream

Late at night.. I always have this appetite of having an ice cream.
A sweet vanilla ice cream with brownies topping and melted chocolate.
Yum. I can even taste it in my mouth right away even though I'm not eating it.
Do I sound like a psycho? Am I?
Well, I don't know. It's just the appetite. Nothing's wrong with it.
I'm trying to enjoy my life with the sweets.

I remember these days when I couldn't even eat much anything but fruits.
Back in high school, I was forced into a strict diet. I couldn't take a nap for more than 10 minutes or 5 hours at night. I could only eat half rice spoon of rice. I have to eat many fruits. I couldn't sleep earlier or wake up late. I have to work hard: washing the dishes, clothes. Pathetic? If you think so, it can be yes. But if you think it's not, it's not. It can be both. Because despite all the cannot-do things, now I can take care of my self better than my little sister or my friends.

I'm telling this story because I couldn't eat anything I want at that time but NOW, I can.
It's all up to me now. That's what I like of living alone. No hard feeling about it.
It's even possible will be just me and ice cream. God, I love ice cream.
Now Jenny Weisgerber is singing on my DVD player. Such perfect songs for this cold night and, I don't want to choose hot chocolate, Ice cream.

Sapi kecap made by Alwan

Today, the day of Idul Adha. It's moslem's second big day where there will be a lot of beefs and goat meats. The meats are always given to the people in a neighborhood and the cows and goats are given by moslem people who have enough money to buy them. After that, the animals will be (sembelih) killed and divided into a number of family live in the neighborhood. Finally, all the people will get one bag of meat each family, no matter if they're moslems or not.
Today, i got a coupon and since i live in a dormitory then i'll have to cook for the rest dormers. Thank God, Alwan is here so he and another friend help me cooking the beef.
We cooked a kind of Sundanese food, Sapi Kecap. Yum! Bon appetite..

Big brother's graduation day

After very long years, he finally made it. It was a hard journey for him, I guess. It's supposed to be my turn as well, still on account of my 2 semesters off, I have to deal with the fact that I'm running for a bus of graduates'.
I'm hoping that day soon will be mine. Well, as for the dinner I got two bars of candies and an ice cream. No sweets, no happiness.
