Someone like me?

Here's a little video of my performance on my school, St. Louis 60th anniversary bazaar. Final round of Pop Singer Competition and i sang Adele's Someone Like You. Pretty deep song and i love the way she gives so much soul to this song.

If you mention a lot of missing notes and the pitch didn't went really well, i blame THEM who broke their promise said that they would come to support me! LOL. *If you read this post, you realize that it's you, right? 3:)* I'm kinda disappointed a bit, because i know that i could do better than this, but those upset feeling just ruined me. Yeah. Frustrating, because i already pushed myself so hard.

No, no.. i'm just kidding *maybe not really*

 Hahahaha.

But! Thank God, i gained something from this competition. I got a little bit of confidence to perform on the stage and the best part, my first ever singing trophy. Woohoo! I'm really glad eventhough i got to the 6th position out of 7 finalist. Yet i still grateful for this opportunity and for my classmates and friends who gave me never-ending supports. Thank you everybody! I will work harder to be better. Thanks for showing all your love and support♥

I always wish that someday i could be a singer, but maybe my path wasn't there..

YET.

'End' of the journey (?)

Yak yak yak, saya pending dulu kisah menyedihkan saya tentang kang David yang seharusnya saya tulis beberapa hari lalu, yang terbengkalai gara-gara kesibukan saya di DBL *belagak artis*. Hahaha.

* * *

The competition hasn't finished yet, tapi untuk Clique, mungkin taon ini belum punya kami. Jujur, kalo boleh bilang, big 5 sama sekali bukan sesuatu yang bisa dibanggakan *well, manusia nggak pernah puas!* meskipun mestinya itu adalah suatu hal yang sangat patut dibanggakan, soalnya jadi 5 besar dari ratusan sekolah itu SANGAT NGGAK GAMPANG.

Kecewa? Oh ya pasti! Tapi bukan kecewa karena nggak lolos ke best 3. Okelah, sedikit. Tapi lebih-lebih gara-gara ngerasa menghancurkan mimpi banyak orang. Terlalu banyak yang terlibat dan ekspektasi udah bener-bener tinggi. Terutama dengan si abang, yang paling banyak *dan terlalu banyak* berkorban. Devastated. Bener-bener kacau waktu kemaren nggak bisa ngapa-ngapain waktu semua down. Yeah, i'm down too. Bener-bener minta maaf , Chem buat semuanya. Maybe sorry is never enough :(

Anyway, nahan emosi dan ngempet sesuatu itu terbukti sangat tidak baik bagi pikiran, jiwa dan raga. Sewaktu tengah pertandingan final cowok kemaren, dan tau kami gak lolos, saya berusaha sabar sementara yang lain mulai nangis. Entah kenapa rasanya terlalu berat buat nangis sementara kemenangan tim cowok udah di depan mata. Yang disesali, saya ngerasa bikin banyak orang kecewa. Waktu perform big 5 kemarin, kain box saya gak kebuka dengan sempurna dan kain selendang saya juga lepas-lepas, that makes me even worse. Selain itu juga malu! 2500 orang lebih menyaksikan itu dan gagal gitu aja. What a shame. Ini taon pertama dan terakhir ikut DBL dan saya bahkan nggak bisa bikin itu jadi momen yang berharga. Saya relain konser David Archuleta yang saya tunggu 3 taon dan udah di depan mata demi ini dan dapet banyak harapan besar dari temen-temen, itu yang semakin bikin sakit hati. Apalagi mengingat, well.. omongan-omongan kurang enak dari beberapa sekolah lain ditambah si Mama *oh my God* yang kurang mengerti betapa berharganya ini *meski akhirnya ngerti juga* dan bilang saya kayak anak kecil. Okeh, aku tau maksudnya baik, tapi please Mom kemaren maleeeeeem aja biarin aku nangis sepuasnya. Hidup memang berat saudara! akhirnya air mata nggak tertahan juga.

Hasilnya, pagi ini saya bangun dengan wajah super suram. Mata bengkak dan pusing setengah mati. Bangun siang sekali dan nggak nafsu makan. Terharu baca timeline-timeline di twitter tentang support dari semua temen-temen dan alumni. Thank you everybody, saya gak akan pernah nyesel sekolah di Sinlui dan kenal kalian semua.

At least, dibalik tiap kesedihan pasti ada kemenangan. 

CONGRATULATION FOR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM! 

YOU'RE THE CHAMPION! 

Masih ada tanggal 23, you better show your best! Semangat, Mario, Lauren, Ricky, Chandra, Patrick, Juan, Bayu, Gio, Stanley, Vialy, Adit, James! Kalian pasti bisa! dan tentunya buat OSIS dan tutor yang sudah mati-matian mengelola 2500++ supporter dan yeah, we deserve that BEST SUPPORTER AWARD! Proud of you all! Gara-gara kalian semua juga hari ini Romo Alex berbaik hati meliburkan kita *yeahyeahyeah! \m/* Ramaikan lagi DBL arena sabtu besok :*

Clique, saya cintah kalian semua cemans-cemans. Cemungudh! Trio macan (elma,okta,nanda) taon depan harus lebih semangat lagi. Bakal rindu es tebu, papa americano, dunia lain, masterchef margorejo, gak gak kuat, Yovan the gorilla dan upil magnet!! *ngelap ingus kayak Lingke* masih ada hari Sabtu! mari gila-gilaan!!! Dan untuk si abang :

Taken this morning. CEMUNGUDH BANG BOLAY! :p

Sorry for not making it trough, for making you down and disappointed and not cheering you up. Sorry.

*Sudah ya sedih-sedihnya. Masih ada hari esok yang lebih baik*

The real winner doesn't have to win all the time. That's just a game plan.

another archuleta news + masterchef australia 2 [review]

I saw David Archuleta at Masterchef Australia season 2! Was he came as a guest judge? Nope. So,this day offs makes me totally bored. Everyday, i probably just sleeping, snacking and watching some series on YouTube. Masterchef Australia is one of 'em. I really enjoyed it since i was a big fan of culinary things *P.S : being a fan doesn't mean i can cook well* and what makes me more interested watching this show is that, i felt like i saw another David there. Don't you think that Callum Hann, The runner up *HEY! He also became the runner up! same as David!* of the show looks like David?

Meet Chef Callum Hann! :)

And you know him, David Archuleta :)

That's quite funny because.. yeah, seems like i saw another David who can actually cook, not singing. LOL. What i really love about Callum is that he is a great cook and he looks calm and humble just like David. 

And oh, anyway! another review for Masterchef Australia season 2, you should watch it! This was a really great show and i think it inspires me a lot. The contestant are so awesome and all the dish they've made mostly, makes me so mouthwatering. Another reason why i love this show rather than another Masterchef shows is the judges, Gary, Matt and George. Well, as a judges they were really nice without shouting some inappropriate words and shows tons of respect to the contestant, i mean like they know how to give criticism without hurting anybody's feeling and that's just right! They are really nice judges!

The masterclass is also helps you a lot, it gave you a lot of knowledge and watching them cooking something very easily, it's a huge pleasure!

* * *

Back to David,
Have you watch this video?

That's Elaine from HeavyBuckStylez! Yay! Honestly, i'm really excited knowing that she made a choreography of David Archuleta's song and chosen as HeavyBuckStylez's best choreography of the month (BCOTM). Guess what? an Arch Angel named Pastel from FOD posted this video to the site and even posted it to Nigel Lythgoe from So You Think You Can Dance. That was a huge bomb! Woohoo! Even i'm not taking any part of that, i feel so happy for her and grateful that many people appreciate it and all the Arch Angels for being really supportive. I also happy because it also helps HeavyBuckStylez to grow more and more! I wish that she'll got the best luck since many people love this! This choreography also appeared as contemporary dance material on HeavyBuckStylez 4th Workshop which held last 8-12 June 2011. This is the sneak preview:

You can also see Mr. Patrianata there *the green shirt one* Hihihihihihi ;;)

Lastly, it still heart breaking everytime i watch PTC's commercial with David on it *Cry out loud* :'(

(Review) Crazy Little Thing Called Love [Thailand]

The film is centered on a plain-looking, dark-skinned school girl named Nam who is secretly in love with an older Grade 10 guy named Shone. Shone is a photography enthusiast and a popular student in their school. However, he is often teased by some of his schoolmates because his father didn't score the penalty kick and made their province lose in a national football cup. But that doesn't change the fact that a lot of girls in their school are going crazy over him, including Nam. However, Nam is well aware that she is not the prettiest of the bunch, but she doesn't give up easily. With help from her close girl friends, Nam tries everything to make herself more beautiful and outstanding in school, hoping that Shone would like her someday.

My first impression : speechless. Really, this film is way over the top. AWESOME. Thank you Mr. Patrianata who told me about this film, i wouldn't watch this if you didn't asked me to. This was such a really nice film. It tears me up and at the same time makes me feel like 'oh! this is such a reality'. Well, maybe i love it too much because i thought i used to trough the same condition as Nam's. Yeah, tell your teacher you want to go to the toilet and passed his class just to see him, called him anonymously and after you heard his voice you end the phone call without saying anything and being in love with school's popular guy. Gosh, that so my early junior high phase *yeah, i did that*. And you know what? This is my first time watching thai drama movie and i'm addicted to it, fall in love with it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA! I could only scream watching this video, the whole time! This was just so sweet and unpredictable story. Let's think logically, is it possible for school most popular guy being in love with a bug face girl? But this story makes it happen and it went really sweet.

I really love the P'Shone's scrapbook confession part. It tears me up, i mean how could you survive from that hard feeling you try to hide because you didn't want to ruined your friendship? and how could you survive for 9 years to wait for the people you love? I know it cuz i trough it once. 2 years was already really hard to survive for someone to wait, how about 9? People as handsome as Shone, that's really hard to believe but once again this film make it true. Oh, and i love the holding hands and poisoned apple part, also when Faye *mango cake girl* get caught by P'Pin when she want to trapped Nam by giving her water with fish sauce. yuck.

And, the best part of the film is.. The actor and actress! Aw aw aw! Right now, i put Mario Maurer as the most handsome actor in my top list! He was just.. WOW! I think that's kinda crazy if there's someone who said that he's not gorgeous *fangirling*

I'm melted!!!! \(♥o♥)/

And Baifern, she was so pretty. I really love what the make up artist did to her, they really turn an ugly duck to a beautiful swan, really different. And i thought that baifern was kinda similar with Indonesian actress, Donita. Don't you think so? I thought that she and Mario made a perfect match. Whoa! I can't wait for the sequel :)

So, Overall i recommend you all to watch this film! Rated 5.5 out of 5!! I probably wouldn't get bored watching over and over again♥

Sweet escapades

My blog world without 30 days challenge was very dead. I've been keepin' busy with my school stuffs and i guess i didn't have something to post right here.

Last 27, 28 and 30 April i was having fun with hospitality world. Me and my friends Candy, Aynie and Ghe were joining Hospitality Rally Games 3 which organized by Petra Christian University, Hospitality Management Program. It was surprisingly unexpected games, unexpected team *yeah, made our team in a sudden* and unexpected registration because my team registered in last minute. It was a big relief when the committee put us in the participants list.

The Blue Lagoon Cocktail

They put us in a team named Blue Lagoon, taken from a kind of cocktail. It was a very beautiful cocktail i could say. Umm.. and during the race, we got a new team member from PCU itself, she is ce Lusi, a 2nd semester college student. She also joining the race and we fight together.

I'm really glad i got tons of experience there. Since i was a big fan of culinary business tho i didn't have enough  bravery to cook, i'm excited to got the whole package from fun to experience and a chance to try something i never try.

The most proud moment i had, probably on the first day of the race. In the second round, we were asked to decorate 3 layers of pancake with fruits. They gave us a slice of watermelon, melon and pineapple, a whole apple, and a mini banana plus 2 shared condensed milk *chocolate and full cream* and shared sprinkles. My team made a creation named 'Treasure Delight' *photo will be uploaded soon* but we had a major problem with the apple. We really didn't know what to do with that, then ce Lusi gave an advice "How if we turn those apple into a rabbit?". I remember watching a TV show on AFC showing those apple rabbit and i try to make one. IT WORKS! even it is really far from good and correctly trimmed, yet i'm really glad cuz the committee seems to appreciate my work and my teams to. No offense, i feel pretty good at that time :)

If you wanna know how does apple rabbit looks like :

Apple rabbit, made by a pro, not me.

The most fun part of the race was the 2nd day. Actually, our team didn't expect at all that we would go trough the next round, but Thank God He had another plan for us.

We went to Ciputra Waterpark and that was my very first time there. Even the sun was very hot and the race was very tiring, i guess this round was the best round between day 1 and final. The most interesting post was called 'Golden Summer'. We were asked to made a cocktail but the layer must be clear. All the members of my team didn't know how, even ce Lusi. We try as hard as we can but ended up fail again and again. Then the post keeper told us how. The secret so that the layer is clear enough to see is to put the mixture slowly with a glass in titled position. Once again, i got something to learn today and oh! about glass, i remembered on the first day, we were asked to memorized kind of glasses. Now i know which one is tumbler, shot glass, Irish coffee glass, wine glass, etc. Hihi.

Here's the recipe of our lychee and orange simple cocktail:

• a shot of framboise
• 2 shot of simple syrup (made by a melted sugar and water)
• a shot of orange syrup *it is optional, you could replace that with lychee and any other kind of syrup*
• ice cubes
• soda

How to make:

1. Put the ice cubes in the glass and let it cold. After it is cold enough, set aside the ice cubes and the melted water inside.
2. In titled glass position, slowly pour a shot of framboise, 2 shot of simple syrup and a shot of orange syrup sequentially.
3. Still in the titled glass position, pour the soda until the glass is full. Ready to serve :)

And it brings us to the final. Yeah!

The final day, we were asked to decorate 'nasi kuning' a traditional dish from Indonesia. We thought that if we made a kind of tumpeng*), it would be really common and we believe that most of the other competitor did the same thing. So we decided to made something different. We made a concept 'one bite surprising snacks' so we made those nasi kuning into dozens of onigiri shaped, filled with various nasi kuning filling. One bite surprising snacks is one bite size nasi kuning with surprising filling, because we didn't know what kind of filling inside each rice cuz we put it randomly.

We also worn cute outfit for the final, not like any other competitor who wore traditional outfit, we went into something more modern but still maintain the culture. Candy is the one who gave this idea for the costumes. *Any photos will be uploaded soon*

Cinta kahalang poster made by me :)

Finally for the innovation product, we made a fresh cold drink from something looks like yam, called bengkuang. We called our product 'Cinta Kahalang' which mean Forbidden Love in Sundanese. Why Sunda? because we got the theme 'Sangkuriang' which is Indonesian folktale from West Java. So we try to connect and relate one to another and there it is. Cinta Kahalang. Made from sliced bengkuang covered with sago flour with blue color *but ended up in green cuz some mistakes during the competition* with fresh pineapple and mixture of milk, cinnamon and pandan leaf *ended up only with milk because of another mistakes -.-*. Fortunately Beloved Social Class 4 attended the competition to support us. I'm glad we had a super supportive and caring friends like that. They help us to got a profit for our product and it lead us as the 3rd Winner! WOOHOO! Omg, i'm shocked and stoked at the same time.

It was a joy knowing that we won because everything seems to happen accidentally and everything works, even there's a lot of problems and barriers, we could go trough it and show our best.

I would like to thank everybody especially Mumsy Popsy Thomas, Abang cechemmarichem, Social Class 4, Ida Nordiana for being there to support us. Also ce Lusi, Candy, Ghe and Aynie for being a very supportive and nice team mates, for the transportation, tools and ingredients too! :D

I'm planning to join this race again next year, and my target? be better than this year. 

Yes, we can! :D

Day 23: A letter to someone

K, since yesterday was my anniversary and i only made a short post, i'm gonna make this a lil' bit longer. Hmm.. i didn't do it on purpose to make people think "oh.. how sweet you are!" or stuffs, but i just think that i still have lots of things to say. My mouth couldn't say anything, but my fingers always type. Haha. 

So here it is..


Dear Mr. Patrianata, *LOL*

I am definitely NOT good at words nor poets. I just tell everything crossed my mind and what i want to type. Hahaha. I'm so glad you said that you feel chilled reading the scrapbook which for me it means a lot to you, is it?  It was out of my plan when most of my classmates ask me to give that to you by myself, actually i want to asked Mario for help to put it somewhere in your house, because i just don't know why i feel like didn't really ready to. Sorry for all the messy stuffs there, it also stressed me out when the paper got ripped, the bookbindery didn't goes really well, and all the fault that happens. I try to do my best *and that's the best?*. Oh! even the Gift paper! I'm so sorry there's too many patch there :p

Yeah, so.. i'm hoping for a change. A good change for us. I couldn't say that this past year i'm not happy to be with you, because actually i do, i really do :) It's just a matter of time, in some conditions i felt like i'm really 'alone' but i always keep it for myself because i didn't want to add more pressure to you. You've done a lot to me from the littlest thing to something remarkable and i really appreciate that and keep every details in my mind. I wish everything goes better this year *iyeshh* not just by a promise but reality. I also try to built myself as a better person for you. Never doubt to speak to me if i had a mistake or something wrong cuz i know i'm way too far from good, it'll be better if i had somebody to listen to my problems and change me as a better person (y)

Our talk at ai Doho last week opened up my mind a lot. I'm really glad we had time just sharing everything we felt. Haha. I know i didn't talk too much, but i think i already wrote everything on that scrapbook. Did you mention it? Oh! and your text message that night, hahahaha it blew me away! It keeps making me smile everytime i read it, It's just.. way too nice. I hope you keep everything what you said as long as we belong. I believe we can make it better. Haha.

Okay, it almost midnight here. Tomorrow i still have to go to school and do tons of stuffs. Sorry for the miss communication this few days because of the lack of provider's credits. Gonna load it really soon *don't worry be happy* ;) See you tomorrow at school! Really happy for it :*

Te Quiero,

Pauline♥

Day 16: What would i do if tomorrow is my last day

1. I guess i wanna finish everything i haven't finished, like many assignments, projects and home works stuffs. I want to say to all the people that i'm glad i know them all and they should know how much i love them and they mean a lot to me.

2. I want to hug every one i love, especially my friends! Hug 'em tight, like i don't want them to go. I want to spend all my time with them and make them let me go with a smile.

3. I would tell somebody my twitter, facebook and blogger password so that they could take care of all of my accounts even i already gone. Spooky! LOL.

4. I want to eat lots of cake and drink gallons of fresh milk also i want to visit everyone who hate me and tell them that i apologize for everything that matter among us.

5. For my parents *especially Mumsy* i want to apologize because at this time, i still couldn't make them happy and proud of me. I'm too busy with myself and often make you disappointed.

6. Doing confessions to everybody.

7. Force Worldwide Arch Angels to let me see David and talk *even just for a minute, that's okay!* with him, tell him how much i admire him and how much his music means a lot to me.

8. Last but not least, i want to give my biggest smile to si abang and say how much i glad to be his girlfriend.

Thing that happened lately

I decided to write random post about things that happened lately in my life which is i don't know.. should i say, frustrating? Yeah, at the beginning of 2011, i should say that this year is a bad start for me. This past 2 months i got really stressed and drown into my worst mood, i got my eyes watery like everyday and i cried so bad like baby for some reason i don't even know. I try to control my emotion, like si Abang said about things he didn't like about me "Being a sensitive person is good, but don't think about something too much if that's not really necessary for you". I try it but.. it's just doesn't work.

* * *

Today, once again i cry. Honestly, i hate crying in the middle of the lesson because people might see me like "Oh! she's trying to seek our attention", No, I'm not guys! Do you think i did that? No. Definitely not. I blame myself a lot for not study last night. Okay, that was my fault, i should've realize and know that today's test not gonna be easy. History and Math, what a JACKPOT! And i didn't study for math, i only studying history. The result is, i couldn't work my math test at all. And it's killing me to see that i got a big possibilities of remidial test which mean my chance to be on the parallel rank is getting farther and of course i couldn't make my parents proud of me. What a life..

But i was kinda relieved after Ce Linda, Ce Mewox and si abang try to comfort me. They do make me feel better just by asking my condition. Thanks for all of you, especially ce Linda who also share your past and teach me how to feel better :*

* * *

I also want to say get well soon to Marcella Claudia Marsudi whose hospitalized for her illness. I hope you're getting better, Cel. I'm really sorry i couldn't visit you today. But trust me, i do pray for your recovery and i hope i could see you really soon at school :*

* * *

I got HERSHEY'S in my fridge! Woohoo! My auntie brought me a pack of chocolate which content Milk Duds *I prefer to call it Milk DUDE*, Kit Kat, Hershey's milk chocolate and Take 5. Woot! That's totally make my day. Especially Kit Kat and Take 5. First bite, you could already taste a goodness of peanut, caramel, pretzel, chocolate and peanut butter *just by imagine about it could makes me drooling*

Check out the "crime scene" pics :

What a Yum-Yum

Happy Chinese New Year

This is my first post on February after so long time. Just catch up here to say HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to you all who celebrate it. Hope this rabbit year bring us tons of prosperity in many ways. 

新年快乐♥

 * * *

Many things happen last January which i didn't have enough time to post here because i was keepin' busy with school's stuff. I just want to say happy birthday to the greatest people i've known like Betet, My big brother: William eka putra, Jesica Harianto, Jenica Susanto, Ade Indra and his brother Andry. Yeah i'm sorry you all guys, i didn't have enough time to made a post about your special day and create you a birthday pics, but trust me, i do pray for you all.

I made this for Jesica, for her sweet seventeenth present

January 28th, i got a chance to attend Jesica's sweet 17th birthday party with my very own abang patrianata :p and thanks to jes who ask me to do polonaise dance with him. It was such a memorable *and awkward* moment.

* * *

Okay, so.. i just don't know why but i do feeling really unwell now. Mentally. People was like having fun with their big family in this chinese new year, but i'm not. Weird? yes, i do feel the same. I feel like nothing special today and for me right now, being gathered with all my big family today is just makes my day getting really awkward and should i say weird?

Seventeen and Me: The Evening, Night and Next Day

Kisah berlanjut sepulang sekolah..

Saya super mengantuk dan capek di mobil, tapi mengingat saya masih harus menghabiskan waktu sepulang sekolah dengan kawan-kawan saya tercinta saya jadi super senang, biarpun masih tetep ketiduran di mobil. Tiba-tiba waktu sudah sampe di penghujung pintu masuk Sutorejo Primadonna, Sang ii menelpon "Lin, wes sampe mana? (Lin, udah sampe di mana?)", Saya jawab saja "Wes nde depan kok (Udah di depan kok)" dan si ii tiba-tiba berkata "Ya wes, ada Chemmy di rumah (Ya udah, ada Chemmy di rumah)" And i was like.. Whuat???? berbunga-bunga :&

Begitu saya sampe di rumah, semua jadi kerasa beda. Sambil menunggu para cewek-cewek itu datang, saya menemani si pangeran tampan :& Dia bela-belain dateng sebelum ngelatih di Tresor. Once again, thanks for sparing your time :)

Jam sudah menunjukkan pukul 3 lewat, tapi anak-anak tak kunjung datang juga. Saya jadi super heran, padahal mereka pulang duluan daripada saya, tapi saya nyampe rumah duluan. Kesasar? Nggak mungkin. Jojo dan Clara tau rumah saya, jadi kesasar adalah alasan yang sungguh tidak mungkin. Ternyata si abang bilang kalo mereka lagi on the way dan masih macet. Tiba-tiba koko sepupu saya dateng dengan *ehem* pacarnya. Hohoho. Nice to see you brother! Lama tak berjumpa :D Dia juga kenalan dengan si abang which i don't know but i think that's kinda.. funny? haha :p

Tak lama kemudian datanglah anak-anak yang ditunggu. Ada Jojo (Yang membohongi saya katanya dia nggak bisa dateng gara-gara sepupunya dateng dari Jakarta!), Vero, NatNat, Cella, Catrul, dan.. CELINE! Oh my God, ada Celine! dan yang lebih bikin shock, dia bela-belain ijin pulang awal di sekolahnya demi bertemu dengan saya. I'm so touched! Saya benar-benar rindu sekali dengan dirinya. Hik hik. Thank you fiancee! 

Anak-anak yang lainnya masih belum dateng waktu itu, jadi yang sudah ada di rumah makan-makan duluan. Akhirnya, datanglah Clara, Jesica, Nikita ! I was really happy!

Setelah makan selesai, saya berkesempatan untuk meniup lilin ulang tahun which really rare to happen, karena jarang sekali saya merayakan ulang tahun saya. Selama 17 tahun hidup, saya cuma pernah tiup lilin 5 kali. Hahaha :P

Ini dia kuenya. By: Timothy Cake :)

Setelah make a wish, dan meniup lilin. Si Mama, ii dan anak-anak masih sempat menggoda saya dengan si abang! Oh darn, saya sungguh malu. I guess i'm blushing really bad at that time :$ Hahaha. But everybody seems happy with it and i'm really glad to see big smile on their face :)

What's happened next? Satpam depan rumah tiba-tiba dateng, nyari anak-anak pake seragam SMA, katanya mereka titip barang di pos satpam. Kapan mau diambil? soalnya si bapak satpam ini mau pulang. Wah.. firasat saya sudah memburuk ini. Tiba-tiba Niki pamit pulang. Saya nggak curiga soalnya saya tau dia OSIS dan besok ada acara OSIS di sekolah, jadi pasti dia super sibuk. After say good bye sama Niki dan Jesica yang katanya pulang bareng Niki, saya masuk ke dalem rumah lagi. Namun apa yang terjadi? Vero tiba-tiba menyergap saya keluar. O ow! Mimpi buruk nampaknya benar-benar akan terjadi! Karena saya pake seragam waktu itu, Jojo akhirnya menyuruh saya ganti baju. Bahkan sampe ganti baju pun saya diikuti si Vero di depan kamar supaya nggak kabur.

Saya diikat di pohon depan rumah bagaikan buronan. Dan tepat waktu itu si abang pamit, soalnya dia harus ngajar di Tresor. Bagus bang! Lebih baik anda tidak di sini, sebelum anda jatuh pingsan karena bau campuran aneh nan ajaib yang akan disiram pada saya yang tak lain tak bukan adalah campuran tauco, saos tomat, kopi, bumbu kare, soto, rawon, gule, tahu, kecap, dan.. TERASI UDANG. Nyamnyamnyam :& dan ternyata Niki dan Jesica belum pulang, mereka cuma ngambil ramuan itu di pos satpam. Oh my god, andai kalian semua tau baunya seperti apa! Saya yang dikerjai saja sampe ingin muntah rasanya! Belum lagi lemparan tahu-tahu dan siraman-siraman maut! Pake acara pura-pura ada bangkai cicak mati lagi di ramuan ajaib itu! Saya sampe teriak-teriak dan diliatin tukang-tukang yang kerja rumah di seberang dan orang-orang yang lewat depan rumah saya, bahkan tetangga saya juga.

Untung saya bisa melepaskan diri dan berbaik hati karena saya tidak menyerang balik anak-anak itu semua, soalnya mereka langsung menyodorkan kue ulang tahun lagi ke saya. Wow. After once again making wish dan meniup lilin, kami semua foto-foto tapi dengan jarak yang "agak" jauh, soalnya saya bener-bener bau. Akhirnya sebelum masuk rumah, saya membersihkan diri di teras. Baunya.. ya Tuhan.. Sungguh mematikan! Padahal, malamnya saya harus ke sweetnya si Cezia, kalo dengan badan bau nggak bisa hilang kayak gini gimana nasib saya?

Setelah mandi-mandi dan keramas kurang lebih 9 kali. Saya merasa bau saya sedikit memudar. Tapi, setelah rambut saya agak kering, bau-bau terasi kok sepertinya masih kuat sekali ya? Waktu Mama saya membau rambut sebelah kiri, memang masih sangat bau terasi! Akhirnya saya keramas lagi 6 kali! Jadi total saya keramas 15 kali! Sungguh menghabiskan shampoo! Finally, setelah benar-benar merasa bersih dan anak-anak sudah pulang satu per satu dan koko sepupu saya beserta ii saya juga pulang, rumah saya jadi sepi kembali.

Tak disangka, koko sepupu saya satu lagi datang dengan temannya! Yay! I'm so happy, tapi saya harus buru-buru meninggalkan dirinya soalnya harus siap-siap pergi ke Cezia. Singkat cerita, setelah saya siap untuk berangkat, koko sepupu saya itu juga pulang.

Sekitar jam setengah 7 malam, BYC a.k.a Bethlehem Youth Community *Biar berasa lebih keren daripada Laskar Supri a.k.a Laskar Sutorejo Prima! Hahaha* menjemput saya di rumah dan kami berangkat ke New Royal Restaurant buat ngerayain sweet 17 Cezia, yang bertepatan dengan ulang tahun saya juga. Di sana, saya juga dapet kado dari Cezia, gara-gara ulang tahun saya sama kayak dia, hahaha. So i thank you, Cez for that and happy sweet seventeen too to you!

Sebelumnya, saya ngajak juga beberapa anak HBS dateng ke rumah saya buat makan bareng, tapi kan mereka kebanyakan harus latihan WARS dulu, jadi saya sudah memperhitungkan waktunya juga, kalo nanti waktu saya pulang sweet, mereka sudah di rumah.

Waktu itu, saya udah sampe di ITS dan si abang tiba-tiba menelpon dan bilang kalo anak-anak sudah di rumah semuanya. Woot! Saya sungguh bersemangat sekali! Sesampainya di rumah dan berpisah dengan BYC, saya melanjutkan hari itu dengan HBS sampai tengah malam. Alangkah terkejutnya saya begitu ada Ai Melly Bertopi juga datang, I'm really excited! Sayangnya si Mario Ipin tak ikutan, hmm. Mungkin sibuk dengan latihan basketnya. Tapi tak apa lah yang penting banyak sekali yang datang dan rumah saya jadi super rame! I'm super duper excited! It's really really nice to spend my time with them! Saya senang sekali juga karena mereka juga senang bisa merayakan ulang tahun sederhana ini di rumah saya! Yay! I'm really enjoying that time, and if i can turn back time, i really want to passed it once again :)

Thank you HBS! :D *minus Opel dan Ce Elaine karena sudah pulang duluan. Hohoho*

January 8, 2011.

Saya lagi bosan-bosannya di sekolah nunggu acara tukar kado yang nggak mulai-mulai dan kegiatan-kegiatan nggak jelas lainnya waktu HP saya getar dan tertera sebuah nama di sana "X Ka We Es" dan alangkah kagetnya saya begitu saya baca SMSnya dan dia bilang kalo dia ada di sekolah, tapi nggak boleh masuk sama satpam dan terpaksa nunggu di CafeSera. Oh My God! Saya sudah lama sekali nggak ketemu WS, sejak awal masuk kelas 11 and i do miss her so much! FYI, WS ini adalah teman baik saya di XK sejak awal-awal masuk, biarpun pada akhirnya WS lebih deket dengan Natisa dan Saya dengan Jencong, tapi saya sangat sayang dengannya :)

Singkat cerita, acara sekolah sudah selesai dan sudah boleh pulang, saya SMS WS. Tak lama, dari CafeSera menyeberanglah dua orang cewek. Ada Natisa juga! dan WS! oh my, saya sungguh kangen padanya! Aw aw aw, WS cerita kalo tanggal 7 kemarin, mestinya dia mau mampir ke Sinlui, tapi dia nggak bisa bikin surat ijin, akhirnya nggak jadi. But i'm really glad that she came that day! Setelah melepas rindu dengan WS + Natisa dan berfoto-foto lagi bersama anak XK. WS dan Natisa pun pulang. I'm thankful to have someone who still remember me even we had known each other only for one year. Love ya WS and Bule :D

January 10, 2011.

Waktu itu pulang sekolah dan saya super kecapekan, akhirnya saya ketiduran hingga pulas. Namun sesuatu membangunkan saya. That's my big brother! "Ini kadomu" sambil dia menyodorkan sebuah kresek putih kepada saya. Begitu saya lihat. WOW! FULL COLOR MARKER! I'm so happy with that! Thank you so much my bro♥ I'm glad that you've change a lot lately and turn to a better person. I might never told you but i love you :)

So, that's it for my sweet seventeen story. I hope you all enjoy it! Hahaha. Thanks for everybody for being my loyal blog reader. I really appreciate everything :D

Seventeen and Me: The Morning and The Afternoon

I am seventeen already! Wow, it's like time goes by so fast! Haha. So, here's a little story about last 7th of January 2011. I'm going to use bahasa! :)

* * *

Jadi, hari itu 6 Januari malem, setelah bener-bener capek latihan HBS dan bergembira ria merayakan ulang tahun Ce Elaine dan Hilda, saya pulang ke rumah. Pikir-pikir, nggak sampe satu hari lagi, saya udah 17 tahun. Awalnya, pengen nunggu sampe jam 12, tapi berhubung mata ini nggak kuat melek, akhirnya saya ketiduran.

Hari itu, 7 Januari jam setengah 1 subuh, nggak tau kenapa tiba-tiba aku kebangun. Waktu ngecek HP, ada 8 SMS di sana. Saya bales deh satu-satu, tapi begitu pencet send. Sending failed. Waktu saya cek pulsa, ternyata eh ternyata pulsa saya habis. Jadi, yasudah karena notabene yang sms rata-rata temen sekolah, saya pikir di sekolah besok aja baru say thank you. Begitu kepala baru nempel bantal dan mata gak sampe satu menit terpejam, tiba-tiba ada yang telpon HP saya.

Pauline: "err.. halooo.." (Suara ngantuk)

Cowok: "Pao.. wes tidur ta?"

Yak! dia tak lain tak bukan adalah si abang Patrianata Bhakti Indrawan. Hahaha. Mungkin otak kami telah terkoneksi secara baik, makanya saya bisa bangun tepat sebelum si abang telepon. Hmm *nyamnyamnyam*

Pauline: "Ha? iya.. tapi barusan kebangun"

Chemmy: "Oh.. happy birthday ya! hahaha"

Pauline: "Hehehe.. terimakasih :)"

Chemmy: "Aku ndek depan rumahmu ini"

Pauline: (Langsung melek) "HEH? Seng nggena? serius ta?" [HEH? Yang bener? serius?]

Chemmy: "Loh iyo.."

Pauline: "Ya wes aku tak keluar sekarang!" [Ya sudah aku keluar sekarang!]

Saya ngintip lewat jendela luar dan ternyata disana berdirilah sesosok manusia memakai jaket hitam dan baju "SOUL" tanpa "MATE" *LOL*dan membawa sebuah tas putih. Saya membuka pintu dan si abang bilang bahwa dia cuma mau mengantar itu saja. I am super duper speechless. Tidak menyangka, padahal itu sudah subuh-subuh buta dan si abang bela-belain datang ke rumah saya. Jadi terharu. Hiks :') Setelah menyerahkan kado dan mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun, si abang akhirnya pulang.

Saya masuk ke kamar dengan membawa kado pertama saya hari itu! awalnya saya nggak rela membuka, tapi tangan ini gatel juga akhirnya. Mau tak mau, terpaksa saya buka, dan... JEJEJENG! Terlihat kotak sepatu di sana. Oh My God! Sepasang Sneakers Reebok berwarna pink dan biru ada di sana. Saya langsung speechless sekali dan sungguh tak menyangka pengorbanan si abang sebesar itu hiks :') Gara-gara itu saya jadi tak bisa tidur, dan memutuskan untuk ber twitter ria. Eh.. di twitter ternyata banyak juga yang sudah mention saya buat mengucapkan Happy Birthday! I am extremely happy!

Sekitar jam 2 subuh, saya akhirnya off dan melanjutkan tidur sampai (lumayan) pulas. Paginya saya bangun kesiangan, sampe akhirnya Cynthia harus nunggu agak lama gara-gara saya selalu lelet kalo pagi. Begitu naik mobil, Chyntia memberi saya sebuat kantongan indah berwarna biru, Ai Elen yang menyetir juga tak ketinggalan memberi saya angpao. Hahaha. 

Sesampainya di sekolah, Vicky orang yang pertama memberi ucapan selamat pada saya di kelas dan berlanjut ke seluruh IS 4 hingga seluruh Sinlui *alay banget sih guweh*. Singkat cerita, di kelas, si ipin Mario selalu berusaha nggarai (menggangu dengan maksud bercanda) saya dengan menyuruh saya nyanyi di depan kelas. Karena super malu, saya nggak mau. Berulang kali saya di suruh, tapi tetep nggak mau. Mereka pura-pura ngambek tapi saya nggak peduli, toh akhirnya mereka juga ketawa lagi sama saya. Akhirnya si Mario menyerah dan memberi sesuatu untuk saya. Another gift from si abang! Oh My God. Kado itu isinya scrapbook. Bukan Scrapbook biasa, tapi dihias dengan gambar-gambar super bagus dan pokoknya buagus tiada tara! Menurut si abang sih, scrapbook itu kado dari pangeran tampan! :&

It comes to istirahat ke 2, saya beristirahat bersama cewek-cewek IS 4. Salah satu korban kekejaman saya di kelas, Priscilla Ermelind Kawilarang berusaha untuk membuat saya malu di kantin dengan menyuruh saya teriak "Semuanya! aku ulang tahun lho hari ini! ayo selameti aku!". Tapi apa daya dirinya, karena kekuatan super saya, dia tidak bisa melawan ketangguan diri saya! Apalagi bala bantuan dari kawan-kawan lain juga tak ada, akhirnya gagal lah rencana jahat si Priscilla! Hahaha.

Waktu itu, saya bolak-balik naik turun kelas-pos satpam-kelas-pos satpam, soalnya jam 12 si tukang kue janji mau kirim cupcakes ke sekolah dan saya harus nunggu. Waktu saya lewat ruang tatib, saya melihat kumpulan anak-anak mencurigakan yang tak lain tak bukan diantaranya ada Pris, Mario, Yunita, Sule, Sheila, Devi, dan beberapa anak lainnya yang saya nggak keliatan sedang berbincang dengan Pak Harjo. Sepertinya mereka merencanakan sesuatu dan begitu lihat saya lewat, sepertinya mereka harus merubah rencana ke Plan B!

Sampe bel istirahat selesai, tukang cupcakes tak kunjung datang juga. Akhirnya saya masuk kelas, berhubung jam terakhir jamnya Pak Bambang Sumitro, jadi saya yakin dapet ijin keluar 15 menit sebelum pulang buat ambil cupcakes! Hahaha. But everything turns to tears. Begitu masuk kelas, Pak Bambang langsung bilang "Pao, Kamu disuruh Mario nangis dulu baru boleh mulai pelajaran". Awalnya aku pikir cuma bercanda, ya aku anggep memang bercanda. Pak Harjo masuk kelas buat absen, dan waktu itu saya disuruh maju buat nyanyi lagi, tapi aku tetep bersikeras nggak mau soalnya malu. Aku nggak bisa nyanyi kalo malu. Jadi akhirnya saya cuma cengengesan di depan dan akhirnya kembali duduk ke bangku. Tapi semua anak-anak di kelas especially Mario, Tommy dan Ghe mulai ngompor anak-anak lain supaya nggarai aku lagi dengan bilang kata-kata nggak enak kayak "Iyo! ngerti-ngerti kon pinter nyanyi! Sombong'e setengah mati!" *Iya! kami tau kamu pintar nyanyi, sombong banget!*, "Mbok kira lucu ta kon ngguya ngguyu itu? Gak usah sok imut ta kon iku!" *Kamu pikir lucu apa ketawa-ketiwi kayak gitu? Gak usah sok imut kali!*, "Jahat.. jahat.. nyadaro ta! Yo kon iku seng metesek! disuruh nyanyi ae gak gelem! Sombonge pol!" *Jahat.. jahat.. sadar kenapa! Kamu itu yang nyebelin! disuruh nyanyi aja nggak mau! Sombong banget!*, dan saya paling gak suka kayak gitu dan situasi kayak gitu! Akhirnya saya menangis! Parah. Padahal saya tau kalo itu dikerjain, tapi saya tetep nggak suka! Apalagi saya masih terus digarai biar saya udah nangis! Untung Yulia menenangkan saya! Tapi tetep aja aku nggak kuat dan jam sudah menunjukkan 15 menit sebelum pulang. Aku keluar kelas tanpa pamit, biar dikira aku marah beneran, padahal aslinya mau ambil cupcake dengan wajah super kusut dan merah :p

Di luar hujan deres, dan cupcakesnya udah sampe. Begitu lagi nggotong cupcakes ke atas tangga dengan kondisi badan basah kuyup abis kehujanan, saya ketemu Yulia dan Aynie di tangga, mereka bilang sorry - sorry soalnya udah bikin aku bete, aku cuma ketawa dan mereka bantu aku bawa cupcakesnya ke kelas.. begitu aku buka pintu.. JEJEJEJENG! Semua penghuni IS 4 sudah berbaris dengan rapi membentuk jalan ke bangku saya. Mereka nyanyi "happy birthday" dan anak-anak minta maaf ke saya. Hahaha. Akhirnya hari itu dengan IS 4 ditutup dengan pembagian cupcake dengan anak-anak semuanya. Thank you so much IS 4 :*

Begitu pulang sekolah, saya masih ada acara lain dengan anak-anak XK. Karena sang cupcakes masih bejibun, XK juga nggak ketinggalan ambil bagian. Setelah semua pada ngumpul, Clara, Catrul, Vero, Jojo, Nikita, Jesica, NatNat, Yunita, masuk ke kelas dan nyanyi "happy birthday" buat saya. Aw aw aw~ So speechless. Mereka membawa kado untuk saya dan menyuruh saya membuka dan itu adalah iPod Shuffle! Oh My God! Saya super duper senang! Terimakasih banyak kawan-kawan tercinta :* Kejutannya nggak berhenti sampe disitu karena tiba-tiba datang seorang cewek berponi rata yang wajahnya sudah sangat tak asing lagi bagi saya. NATISA FEBY BUDIARTA! Kawan lama XK yang lari meninggalkan Indonesia untuk tinggal di Australia *lebay* ngucur lagi deh air mata saya. Kangen sekali, Nat! Setelah melakukan ritual bagi cupcakes dengan anak XK dan foto-foto super hepi, saya akhirnya pulang..

Hari itu di sekolah jadi salah satu hari paling memorable saya selama di Sinlui..
