bored at home

Here I am, at Medan. The small city where I always longed to come back during my 1st semester at NUS. But I think besides getting to eat sate padang & sleeping in an aircon room & my laundry washed by maids, all I get might be disappointment. Lucky that some of my seniors toured Medan, so there's 1 week full of outing. That week really made my day.

Here I feel very bored. Eventhough once I post sth like this : Lucky to have been where I've been, Lucky to be home again & Lucky to have internet connection again.
The internet connection at my home is quite sucks.. I wonder how did I manage to overcome my impatience before I feel the taste of Singapore's internet connection.

I thought that I might learn something at Medan, I thought I might learn several piano scores. Phewww..

no work & no play makes me a dull girl

home sweet home

Finally I'm back to my hometown. I came back to Medan last Saturday night. I felt so excited. After a semester in NUS, finally I'm having a semester break for approximately a month. At first, I was a bout to leave my winnie the pooh behind. But i guessed I couldn't leave it alone, so I decided to sneak it inside my bag and bring it home.. Haha..

1 day before I went back to Medan, there's this PINUS post exam de-stress week held at ECP. I did attend and it was raining. When the rain stopped, I decided to ride the a bicycle. Actually it's a 2 person bicycle. After riding quite far, it started to drizzle and finally it rained heavily. As a result, I'm drenched. Luckily my camera was not drenched and I didn't catch a cold.

Inside the plane, I sat with Rika on my left and Frederica on my right. It was raining when I reached Medan. Seeing my family, I felt so happy. Hohoho... Finally I'm back to Medan where good food are awaiting. As soon as I reached home, I felt like a princess. My maids were very excited to see me again. When I took off my shoes, they immediately bring the sandals I used to wear to me. WAW, I felt that I was treated like a princess. Sate Padang was prepared for my dinner. This is the food that I've been longing to EAT !!.. Itadakimasu !!
SCRUMPTIOUS

Next 2 days, I visit my school to collect my high school UAN certificate. There I met my high school teachers and my old friends..

Well, in 1 month time i'm going to leave Medan again. Therefore, I have to make full use of my holiday. Should brush up my Japanese, read the new books that I bought & master the use of my new camera, CANON SX20IS.. >.< and plan my modules for the 2nd semester.

my friends go dating . i go mugging

well... it has been ages since my last post.
sorry.. no time to blog... what a hectic life I have at NUS
I'm currently at central library, blogging.. and hopefully I'll mug (like what I write after i write this. I couldn't find a nice place with power plug. But finally i found a place, at the corner of somewhere in cenlib. But..., the chair is so uncomfortable eventhough there are lots of power plug here. I feel like i'm sitting on a slide at the playground. So here I am, blogging at somewhere in cenlib with a view of trees & park?? O yeah.. there's this so called "Lovers' park"
behind cenlib. I've just known that. So maybe the view I'm staring right now is the Lover's park

Semester 1 is coming to an end..and 2 weeks left to exam, 1 month left to MEDAN. So, what I should do is mug(?). Finally my 1st semester of hectic life shall end. I had 4 midterms a few weeks ago. Well, 1 very very very very bad result..2 unsatisfactory results... and 1 luckily above average result which is Japanese, my favorite module.

Among the 6 modules I take this semester, I favor Japanese. Really, I have so much fun for this module and I'm planning to continue on the next semester. There will be an oral test for this module next week... I haven't practiced.. Oopss..
I feel that there's no improvement on my English since I came here. Moreover, it gets worse I guess.

It's Friday already.. I should study... I haven't touched any of my core modules..
This is bad !! 困ったね!
私は最近日本語にもっと興味があるになった。ほんとうに日本へ留学したい。小さいからの夢なんです。
I don't know why I've grown more passion towards Japanese these days.

Anyway it's a hectic life ~~

別の人になりたい、私じゃない別の人。
でも、私は私。別の人にはなれないの。
I want to be another person, another person who is not me.
But I am who I am, I can't be another person.

I'm missing you my dear piano

A photo of me 16 years ago, playing piano

Well, recently I've downloaded new piano scores and as u know, this really trigers my urge to play piano right now, get the feeling of what the new scores are like ... Arghhh. Usually when I was in Medan, I could just print out the scores whenever I want and directly played it on my dearest piano. But now, I can't.. So Sad T_T
I really want to try the new scores right now.. Well, there are some music rooms in PGP, but they only got keyboards.. and it's quite mini.. u can't satisfy your need there. Just now when I was about to enter the music room, I realized that it was occupied... SO SAD !!! Since I was so eager to play the keyboard just now...

And now, I'm listening to the song of the new scores I've downloaded and playing piano VICARIOUSLY on the table... as if there's a piano in front of me..

The picture above was the 3 year old me with my super old piano. Actually it's my dad's. Several years later when I entered the primary school, I was bought a new piano.. black YAMAHA... dunno what series and it is still there at my house in Medan.. untouched..since nobody played piano that often except me... n my dad (sometimes).

I miss my piano so badly,... T_T, This is almost similar to what homesickness feels like...
HUHUHUU...

Piano really gives me good memories in the past (except when I was scolded by my piano teacher yearssss ago).. I was asked to play piano at my English tuition... and there was a time when Sandoko, Ivana, Budi & me was waiting for SATE PADANG stall to open. And while waiting, we listened to Budi's piano playing at my house..

MY PIANO...... I REALLY MISS U... CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU !!!
CAN'T WAIT TILL DECEMBER TO REUNITE WITH MY DEAR PIANO !!
