Hey readerss...!!! Today I went to a stationery store in Matraman, let's say G (name isn't mentioned :p). I just planned to buy a ruler and a clear holder, but in fact....
1. I walked through the wide main room towards the stationery area. But then, something caught my eyes. "what's that so catchy?" oh...it turns out a new stand which sold unique and high quality stuffs. Interested and curious, I finally approached one of the stuff they sold. A shopkeeper started explaining every details about this and that, offered me other items and even followed me everywhere!!! Did he have a crush on me or what? *pedemode:on*. I asked dozens of questions like "how long will it last?" or "do you have this folder in green?" He answered vigorously as I picked more and more items. When I finally decided which one is the best, I checked for the price. Suddenly, there was a lightning strike, a thunder, an electric shock on my chest. expensiiiivveee..!!!!! I quickly put everything back to its place and ran away. "sorry Mr. shopkeeper for wasting your time...!!!
2. I got back on track --> to the stationery area. Sprightly I walked to where the "rulers" are located. "I want to buy a flexible ruler which can't be broken", I thought. I picked one but when I observed it, there was a scratch on it.
"Aahhh must find another one..!!" I said. 15 minutes had passed and then finally.... "ffuuhhh, this one is flawless :) (relieved)". But when I about to leave that spot, I glanced back. "waiitt... what's that? a longer ruler?" I came back and dwelt with rulers again. The new one was twice longer than the last one but not flexible and wasn't green (I'm a green-mania, fyi). I started to think... "which one do I need the most? the flexible or the longer one? I think I need a long ruler. But it's not green!!!" I was confused. While I was counting the advantages and the lacks of each, my eyes uncontrollably glanced to other bunch of rulers. And I thought "That one is cute". My options became much more. And I got even more confused. @.@ "shoott... If only I could buy all of them T__T". Finally... after AN HOUR... I went to the cashier without looking back or else I would be hesitant again....
That's my shopping behavior.... In summary... first, it's very common for me not to buy things I've selected before (usually because of price issue xp ). second, it's also very common for me to take a long time on deciding the best item I should buy.
But I think most of women do the same. Well, my parents (esp Mom) told me to be scrupulous when I want to buy something. Because in this country, consumers are often tricked. So be careful... ^^

Loneliness
Hey readers.. last week, SP and I went to Garut to do our "proker", Risma (Riset Ilmiah). We went there on Tuesday, July 5th and left on Saturday, July 9th.
I'm not going to tell the detail about that event. Cause I believe it's going to be hundreds of pages (I'm exaggerating >.<). No, seriously.. it is so unexplainable and indescribable.
I really like being there.. the air was fresh and cold. every morning, I always woke up shivering, cause I didn't bring any blankets or sleeping bag! the temperature there was approximately 15 degrees celcius. Well, for you who live in Europe, it's nothing. But for me, it's deadly freezing. Also, we always saw the sunrise at the edge of a cliff (but not a very high one). we saw the sun climbed up between two mountains. What we saw was exactly the same as a kid's drawing. kekekekkekkee... After that, to warm my body I usually ordered hot tea or coffee.
On the second and the third day, I went to the villager's houses to collect data for our research. The people there are very friendly. This is what I like from people who lives in the *almost* isolated village, they're nice. They spoke Sundanese, most of them I didn't understand. I just nodded and smiled or composed a serious face depended on their expressions and intonations.
There, I felt SP as my family, cause in 5 days we lived together. We ate together and every day we always saw each other. we even slept in one room (boys and girls slept in distinguished rooms, fyi). we joked and we carried each other's burdens. There, I was noticed. Everybody knew me and they cared for me. We are alike, I mean, we share some similarities. No one is more superior than the others. Everyone's equal. I believe at least once you found someone who has the same interest as yours.
I understand if you can't feel it because as I said before, It can't be described by words. You have to feel it yourself.
And now, I'm back to school. There's no more living as one party. We're scattered in different classes. In my class, I always feel lonely. I miss them.. I miss SP... I really want to have some time with you guys alone... again.... :"(

Exciting June
Hey readers! Today is the first day of July. Everybody says time goes by so fast. well, I think it does. Before I'm going through July, I want to reminisce June, a month with exciting news.
1. In June, I had finished all my final examination. Alhamdulillah, my final scores are all above the passing grade, so I don't have to re-study. My rank was improving, I also should be grateful of it.
2. I went to Bandung twice and I had fun there. Quite effective in killing my boredom.
3. I attended Cairo (Camping Islami Rohis) presented by rohis sman 8 jkt. I am one of the committee and we worked very hard to make the event unforgettable. For me, this year's cairo is unforgettable. Because we cooked our food together but it turns out quite well for high school students.
4. Alhamdulillah, my sister's got accepted in faculty of medicines, Airlangga University, Surabaya! I am very happy to hear it even though if she takes this chance, we'll be separated for several years. I hope next year I can get into faculty of medicines, University of Indonesia. aamiiinnnn :)
These are things which make my June very happy. I hope in July, there'll be more happy things.
