End of Stay Camp in York

Dear Blog….

I’m back !!!! Ugh, my legs are killing me !!! i just had my AFS Orientation camp in York. Mind u..it’s my LAST one. Anyway..last friday, i caught the bus from Albany to East perth station. spent 6 hours sit on the bus, n when i got there, i had to wait about 1.5 hours for the other afs students to come. it was about 4.30 pm, no exchange students came n i hardly saw the afs leaders. so i decided to walked around n found them. i didn’t find any afs leaders, but i found 1 exchnge student that i’ve never met before. so we chilled n decided to go back inside. n there i found Minalka (afs coord) called me. so we went to the other side of the building then i saw liz, charles n yves, then not long after that, eerika n stephie came, then taylor n tania. n we had to wait for the bus again. it took 4ever!!!!! we r all hungry!!!!

when the bus finally came…we all got on the bus, the bus was half full already. i met half of the xchange student, then we went to midland to pick the rest of xchange student n off we went to York. when we got there n got off from the bus, it was freezing. so we hurried get in the house n warmed up. caught up with all of them, n half of them r going to safari, so we’re talking about safari. then we had pizza for dinner… and after that, we got on the AFS thing. we r divided into 2 groups. end of group n mid year group.

end of year group talked pretty much about what we did, how we changed n everything, all of the fear n expectation that we had when we first got here, n for our next life. and also we read the letter from us to ourselves..i was laughing when i read mine. i didn’t realize that i was so naive. Hahahaha…..well…at least i’m happy about how everything’s going in my life. i’ve done everything i wanna do, even more than i wanna do. all of the silly little things that makes me upset are NOTHING. so happy i finally could say that.

And then, we just did everything that we wanna do. caught up with friends and stuff. i’m definitely gonna miss this. and when i was talking to alice n Chihiro in the hall way. Tim (afs leader) said "Don’t come to the big room, all right" , n we just nodded even though we r confusing what was going on. n i became more confusing when tim dragged me to the big room. then i step in the dinner room, i saw tania lighted the candle n she gave me one. "take this…it represents your exchange year" then i walked in the big room n Matt greeted me n said "sit wherever u wanna sit" then i saw liz sat on the centre of the room, lots of pillow and candle in the middle around, and also relaxing CD was on, looked really peaceful, so i sat next to her. one by one the end of year student came n we sat on the circle..n after all of us were there, liz started talking. she talked about sort of our reflection when we r here…n also in 1 month, we’ll leave this country, leave our host family n friend or in a short word..leave our life here. So sad….then we talked about what we felt, and after we finished talking we blew our candle off. sooo sad…..

Then after that, basicly just free time. we talked about everything, jimmy gave me goodbye card. that’s so pretty. then when i felt really tired, i went to bed n woke up in cold the next morning. we had breakfast, charles made the pancake for us. then after breakfast, we did energizer. we did this to get rid the cold feeling n it worked. n after that, we did the AFS thing again, now we r talking about us before we came n we r now. have we changed? n i think i change. i think i’m happier than before (doesn’t mean i wasn’t happy), not only focus on 1 thing, there r lots more to see n think than what i used to see n think, more appreciate everything that i got. and after that we had morning tea, talked about soccer n stuff n yves tried to insulting but also love the other countries. Silly yves !!!!

after the discussion, we had lunch. that was yummy… pumpkin soup n sausage rolls. Yummy !!!! n after lunch, we wnet for a walk around the town…this town is pretty. we talked all the way to town, even i had a bit of discussion with jimmy. that’s good… n after that, we were heading back to the camp site, got on the bus n off we went to the shearing shed. we saw the people did the shearing and we did that as well. i had a go and i loved it. they told us everything about the shearing stuff n after that, we walked around to see the emu. and after a while, we decided it’s time to go. Julian, Ale, n Marta went straight away from there to perth, to catch the plane to sydney. so we said goodbye to them n we headed back to camp site. we had nothing to do, so we just did some random stuff n more people went back to perth. and when it was about dinner time, it’s only me,tiki,maria,kao,tang mo,chihiro,jimmy,fernanda,mily,eva,n hanna n also liz n tania as the leaders, n allison n grand ma as the cooks.

the dinner was absolutelly nice, roast beef n vedgies…Hmm….Yummy !!!! n when we were eating liz n tania said "Guys…we r going to have Talent Show tonight". we started to think what we were gonna do. i had no idea at all….n finally me,tiki n maria thought to sing n dance. i told them the afs songs that i got from afs indonesia. firts i told them the "Walk together n Talk together song" n when i sang the "From coast to coast song" they liked it. so we did that song n we tried to choreo the dance. Well….it was good basicly we just humiliated our selves among the people. But it’s worth it though, they like it n gave us the loud claps. Tiki lost her voice slightly after that, n we teased her that’s because she was singing. actually, she wasn’t singing that much, she made the sound of aussie bush n just laughing at us. Shit ey !!! but still had very great time !!!! i woke up until late…n when i, tiki n maria went to the kitchen to get a drnk, we met liz n she said "nhira…u r still up!! i’m so proud of u" she said while touched my head softly. n when we got back to our dorm, i didn’t go to sleep straight away, i was talking with maria n kao about host fam n stuff. n we r up until past 2 o clock n i slept in maria’s bed while she slept on the floor.

in the morning..it was freezing again. liz made us get up, n when she saw me "Nhira…there u are. i didn’t see u in your bed. i thought u went somewhere". "No..i’m not going anywhere, i slept there" i pointed out maria’s bed. eva n hanna left the camp site when we were up, so said goodbye to them n then we had breakky. tiki definitely had a problem with talking. she had no voice to speak… Hahahaha LOL!!!! even she called our group as Teddy bear group. cos i called maria Teddy Bear n i’m obsessed with Play School theme song. Hahahaha….sooo funny !!!!!

after that, i had interview with liz. just talked about everything n she recorded it. so we’ll get the cassette back n we could listen to how our english improves. i listened to it this morning, n i sound really funny. couldn’t bear to laugh at myself. and after everyone had a turn, we packed up, cleaned up n ready to go. liz took us to the river, we took lots of pics n i felt so happy and sad at the same time. My last chance to hang out with them. we walked across the hanging bridge..well…not really walking i s’pose. we ran across the bridge. n made kao freaked out. we took lots of pics in there. n then ate our morning tea in the park while waiting for the bus came. n when the bus came, we finally had to say good bye…even liz has to drag jimmy got in the bus, because we still wanna be together. Sooo sad… i said goodbye to all of them…they r really cool. thanks for everything guys, thanks for laughing with me…

Friends forever….

we knew each other about 4 months ago but at the first time we met, we just click u know… i’m gonna miss u all guys soo much. n also liz…Hahaha…she’s really cool leader.

Huh…i only have 4 weeks left…dunno what to do…

so many things to do…

so little time left…

in 1 month, i’ll be back to my home town, the place i live until a year ago…meet all of the people that i’ve known since i was a kid…back to my old routine…

Those things look really strange for me now

Ugh…God…help me…guide me to the right place. i know u always have the greatest plan for me.

My resolution when i ‘m back is just be happy. try to enjoy every seconds of my life… Don’t be too serious…try to be a better person.

Exam’s over n counting down

Pheuw….exam’s over

Setelah "nge date" ama buku-buku warna - warni yang berisi bahasa asing dari planet lain itu, akhirnya aku bisa lepas deh dari mereka. Selasa lalu (6 juni) exam nya dimulai. untung hari itu aku cuma ada English exam. well…i thought that wasn’t too bad. English exam beda banget ma Ulangan bahasa Indonesia. Di Indo, klo ulangan bahasa Indo, kita harus ngapal gimana cara buat surat resmi ini n itu, sebutkan tahap2 untuk ngebuat ini n itu…aduh, apaan sih. iya kalau kita juga ngapal yang gituan, kalau nggak? mati kutu kan? Bahasa indonesia kan bahasa pertama kita, kita emang perlu tahu tahap2 n cara2 nyusun ini n itu, tapi kenapa mereka nggak bikin soal yang justru bikin pikiran kita berkembang. nggak cuma kepatok ma buku2 doank.

English exam disini, mereka nggak ngasih kita sejubung pertanyaan yang text book banget. mereka ngasih 2 wacana, n tugas kita untuk mengidentifikasi tuh wacana. Dengan gitu, guru bisa tahu klo nih anak punya gagasan bagus, pikirannya maju. n kita juga ada extended answer yang cocok banget untuk mengapresiasikan pandangan kita mengenai sesuatu hal. Nggak usah hal yang rumit, hal-hal tentang sehari-hari aja. Huh….gemes banget rasanya. Gemes karena sebentar lagi aku bakal ngadapin itu semua. Back to my hard life….

Anyway…. abis tuh english exam…hari kamisnya aku ada math exam…Asli ya..sebelum tuh exam, aku freak out banget. Tiba2 semua ketenangan ancur, pas lagi nunggu masuk Youth centre, malah menggigil nggak karuan. emang sih, cuaca hari itu juga gak nice banget. mendung n windy…. tapi alhamdulilllah, semua kegelisahan itu nggak berarti apa-apa. aku bisa ngerjain Exam nya… nggak percuma nih otak sampe butek liat angka2 math. n exam human bio…Oh gosh…that was a nightmare. it was bloody hard….. especially the extended answer, made me wanna cry….hope i’ll get good result.

But as soon as i made my way out the door, i tried to forget everything n just lied back. borrowed couple books from school lib n then went to town, wondered around n had a rest at town library n got 3 more books again. Yuhuu…..it would keep me occupied.

so here i am…just enjoy my day off. So nice…i wanna finish my unfinished business. Oh..yeah..very very unfinished business. Hehehe….

Hey..ges wot? i think i’m going crazy now. i am definitely Eagles fans now…everytime i watched their games, i always can’t contol myself. everytime their opponent make the goal, i’ll scream, n when they make the goal, i even scream louder. And this last 2 weeks, they always make me even crazy. In the first and second quarter, they looked like they caouldn’t play really well. Tim lawan terus terusan ngecetak gol, mereka cuma masukin 1 point ke tim mereka. n pas di last quarter (2 minggu lalu), pas mereka ngelawan melbourne, mereka tuh ketinggalan 9 goal (54 points), tapi akhirnya mereka berhasil nyusul di last quarter n akhirnya berhasil ngalahin melbourne, menang dr mereka dengan 2 point ahead. Shit ey !!!! n weekend barusan, pas mereka ngelawan carlton, lagi2 mereka ngelakuin hal yang sama. bahkan di awal last quarter, mereka kayaknya blom bisa main sebaik yang mereka bisa. pas di last 10 mins, baru deh mereka mulai nyerang lagi. mereka cuma 5 goal behind, pas tinggal 5 menit, mereka masih jelek mainnya, sampai akhirnya aku bilang "Nah…they r not gonna win this time". but i was wrong…. pas di 2 menit terakhir, suddenly they could manage to put their shit together…n they did it again…won by 10 points. Huh….i was soo happy n when i watched it…don’t even ask me to tell u. so embarassing i s’pose. i couldn’t stop jumping n screaming in front of the tv in the lounge room. My extended answer example question was in my hand, but i didn’t have time to look at it while they were playing. Mum was in the kitchen, prepared the tea, n finally she stopped whatever it was she’s doing n watched the last 1 min with me…when finally they took the lead, i was jumping on the steps. Mum just shook her head… Well…it’s the side effect after u took me to MCG Mum…Don’t blame me !!!!!

N tadi malem, pas aku ma Rob nonton FIFA World Cup. Big game loh…Aussie vs japan. kita berdua mikir Aussie bakal kalah, mereka punya banyak chance untuk masukin goal, cuma kurang ketepatan aja. n pas di 15 menit sebelum pertandingan selesai, kita makin yakin aussie bakal kalah, ngeliat posisi Aus vs jpn 0-1. n pas di 10 menit terakhir akhirnya cahill berhasil nyetak gol. jadi sekarang aussie seimbang ma jepang. kami ber2 teriak pas dia nyetak gol n makin ngakak pas denger komentar komentatornya "Wow..cahill…he’s been eating his weetbix". Hahaha…i reckon that was funny. n i believed what he said when he kicked another goal 5 mins after. Go Tim Cahill !!!! they should’ve put him on the team in the first place. and then again…it wasn’t over yet, Jono kicked another goal n finally aussie won. What a great last minute for Aussie. Go Aussie….

tuh lounge room isinya emang cuma 2 orang, tp ributnya kaya ada 10 orang disitu. huh….So Happy…..

Tinggal 1 bulan lagi nih…. jadi tambah kangen ma semua.

am i having a long face???

Am i having a long face??

dunno…i don’t really know what i’m feeling at the moment. so silly, as always. Hahaha…..

Hey…ges wot??? i’m leaving in 1.5 months. Hua…hua…time goes so fast, i don’t even feel it. first time i got here, i felt like i couldn’t survive. 10 months seemed like bloody long time to go, but now at this sec, i feel like i haven’t been here for 10 months or so. I WANT MORE !!!! Hahahaha…another time probably. Hope so…

Anyway..i’m a bit freaking out now. exam is on…and i just think i’m not ready, even though i still have a bit of time to study. i have a day off for preparing everything. but the problem is I JUST CAN’T BE BOTHERED. i did my english exam today. i thought it was all right, but most of my friend said it was hard. Ohh… i don’t know. i don’t wanna be too confident. one down, two to go !!! Yay…..

Hmm…what else i should say. i don’t really know what on earth i’m writing this.Just to keep me occupied i think. How uncanny !!!! Hmm…. i was watching 60 minutes this sunday. and it was talking about Michel leslie and her adventure in bali. when i watched it, i felt like i was slapped on my face.

she said she wasn’t guilty. she ’s the victim of someone. She got trapped by one of indonesian minister’s son or someone’s son who has a power in indonesia. and she also revealed the "fact" that actually she could go home at the night she got arrested IF she wanted to pay $ 33000. according to her "indonesian police said that". and also she said that she has to admit to the police that she’s guilty so she could go home soon. they mixed her urine with the drugs, to prove the law that she’s guilty, then all of the complicated process become shorten. her indonesian lawyer asked her to do so, because he thought if she kept playing the "angel scenario", (she kept saying that she’s not guilty), she’ll stay in jail LONGER than the amount of time she has to spend in jail if she admit she’s guilty. "believe me..we used to do it, and it always works" said her indonesian lawyer.

she kept telling her story. and i just sit there, couldn’t do anything, just listened to her. i have no idea what really happened. at 1 point, i just wanna make her shut up, but obviously i can’t. and the fact that everything that she said could be true. i felt really miserable… i wanna stand up for my country, but there’s tiny part of my heart who kept telling me "it’s could be true you know. you can’t close your eyes, n deny that they won’t do such a thing. because u do believe that they r capable for doing that". Ooh…Indonesia… i don’t even know what to say anymore. so pathetic…

and also she revealed the truth that SHE ISN’T MUSLIM. she wore hijab just to protect her self. dunno why, i was so relieved. Uhh….i can’t think anymore. i’m so stuffed…catch u soon…

Hua…Hua..Where’s my happy face ????

May 17, 2006 by mythoughtsnfeelings | Edit

Hhhh…..i perfectly consider that life is like Rollercoaster. Up and down quickly, without even u realise it. Yesterday morning, i felt happy cos i had really good time with Jess, Kate and Kathrine…. even until the next lesson which is Food Production, i still had my happy face. but when the lunch time came..it’s about to change…..

if u ask me, how it happened…i really really don’t know…it was soo quick…quicker than the light speed i s’pose…Actually what’s going on??? Well…i’m afraid something bad happen to me… well…thank God, it isn’t as bad as i thought…Still Lucky (really Indonesian Thought)

Ok..i’ll tell u what happened. At lunch time…it was a good day, Sunny…really warm… i was sitting on the auditorium stairs (the place i always be), eating my lunch…n i wanted to grab something on my bag, so i stood and all of the sudden, my knee twisted AGAIN……i was pretty sure, i looked like superman….really really NOT COOL at this stage….

The first thing i thought was "Can i walk ???" oh…and 1+1=2 . well…at least i knew my brain was still working…i landed successfully on the ground. and the only thing i cared about was my knee. Finally i was surrounded by my friends. "Nhira…r u all right?" "Well…yeah…. it happens again"

"Again???" i heard someone said that, but can’t figure out who it was

a teacher who usually walks around the school every lunch, came to see how i was going, asked me to do some simple things n i did. Jess, sam n Jess tried to grab me couple ice pack. well…it helped. i put the ice pack on my forehead, cos it felt a bit sore, i made a bit bruise there..Well Done Nhira…. and i put the other ice pack on my knee. my knee felt a bit sore, but i could move it slowly, i tried to do couple little exercise like the doctor told me. Learn from my past experience….i was too scared to walk even stood up. The thought about the fact that i have to get through the hard things again always pop in my head every seconds. i was almost cry..i really did, if jess didn’t keep telling me the jokes, i had no idea what was gonna happen to me. i kept moving the ice pack on my forehead, and my friends always yell at me "Put the ice back on your head, u don’t know what u’re doing. u r dizzy". well…i thought they might be right. i felt dizzy…. i was out of my mind… even i didn’t have my mind when i was in my human bio class. it didn’t hurt, like the first time i had it. i kept doing the knee exercise, n it helped. eventhough i had to walk slowly…. i wasn’t that limping…but someone still could see my pain. on the way to Photography class laura said "r u OK?"

"do i look limping?"

"No…u just look in pain…" well…i did. my scary wild thought kept following me everywhere. after school, i returned the ice pack back to front office, and met Ms. de Haan, and she asked me about how i was going. "Take care of yourself Nhira" "I will "

and when i walked out the door, suddenly every1 asked me whether i’m all right or not. Yeah…right…now every1 knows. i wonder how they spread the news. "That exchange student fell off…." … Not cool…really really not….

i told my dad, but not my mum…. i’m sure she’s just gonna freak out. this is the thing that she was always afraid of. i don’t wanna bothering her with my careless thing at the moment. Too careless…that’s me. n my biggest fear too. well…i am not really bad… at least i can kneel and put my leg n thigh together…the thing that i couldn’t do last time. Well…Allah swt always knows the best…. knowing that i’m here by myself…. Please..give me strength…

i’m having a day off…. i got massive headache this morning..but i think it’s gonna be all right…She’ll be all right mate !!! i have to go to school tomorrow…

Please everyone…i beg your pray…let the good things happen to me…i don’t wanna waste my 2 last moths in aussie…my knee feel a bit better, hope it’ll be good.

My Happy :) Happy : ) Face In Melbourne

Smile everytime….. Happy every seconds…. ^-^

I just had the greates holiday ever…. Thanks to my hostfam for that awesome holiday !!!! Well… few weeks ago, it was Easter School Holiday. Finally it’s Holiday… yay !!!!

Anyway… i spent a week of holiday at home..being a nice kid…Hahaha..not really though. i frustated about all of my holiday assignment, but thank God i finished it before i FLEW to Melbourne. i just wanna shout MELBOURNE HERE I COME !!!!

Sunday, 23rd of April…We flew to Avalon Airport, melbourne. we got there at midnight, and my hostmum’s parents picked us up, n off we went to Camperdown. It’s a gorgeous small city in Victoria, about 2.5 hours from melbourne. i spent about a week at the farm. n if u think i got bored…Nah…not at all !!!! i enjoyed every seconds. U know…at the first day i was there, i did lots of new stuff. Can’t mention it in order, but i’ll try…

I did Chasing cows (usually i do chasing sheep), that was heaps of fun. this time i didn’t do it on the back of the ute, i did it on nice 4WD. chasing the cows is harder than chasing sheep. they r bigger n too stubborn i s’pose. we have to change direction n found further way to make them in to the ram, as soon as they were in, we started calving them. and also…i milked the cows…at 1 morning, when i woke up, i saw Pop was about ready to get the milk bucket n all of the sudden, my host mum said "C’mon….we r gonna milk the cows". n i went out with them, mind u, i went there with Pop, Mum, Indi, Oli n Aaron. n pop started to milk the cows, and we took a turn to do it. "Nhira’s turn" Mum said. And i did….Hahahaha… So Cool ….. n after we finished that, Pop took the bucket, and nana filtered the milk so we can drink it as soon as possible. n it tasted different, still nice but. for a moment i remember my memory when Papa used to bring the fresh milk home when i was a kid… Gosh….i still remember what my expression was when i saw papa brought those milk for me. What a wonderfull childhood !!!!(as far as i’m concerned). And What a wonderful Teenager life i have ….

Hmm…what else did i do ???? 1 day we went for chasing cows again. But this one wasn’t the hard one, we just made sure that all of the cows were in the right place, fed them or moved them to the other part of the farm…a bit of chasing for the naughty cows. we all sat on the back of the ute. i do mean WE ALL. Mum was driving the ute with Aaron’s beside her, and on the back of the ute. Hahahaha…tons of people. well…all right maybe not really tons but heaps of people. i was onthe back of the ute with Sam, Stew, Indi, Oli, Maree n Baby Charla, not only that… we were surrounded by the hay bails. we sat on the hay bails and drove around the farm. sometimes, we threw the hay bails to make the cows followed us to the gate n off course the kids loved it. they threw it everywhere, didn’t care whether that bails got to the ground successfully or just flew to their sides n stuck on my clothes n my hairs. Pinched rob’s statement " Bloody Kids !!!" LOL ^-^

After that fun chasing cows, before we started it we saw lots of mushrooms, so we decided to picked them n brought them back to home, and ate it. as soon as we got to that place, we all hopped off from the ute n started wondering around, looked for the mushroom. that wasn’t useless try, we got lots of fresh mushy…Yay…we have Mushy for Tea tonite…..

Live in the farm is just great…. we can smell the fresh air everyday…and also eat the fresh vedgies everyday. Nana n Pop are vegetarian. they don’t eat meat at all… So our tea’s theme every night (if we don’t go out for tea) are everything about vedgies. i never try to do the vegan life style n never think about it, but for those 5 nights i survived. Actually mum has warned me before about that, n it didn’t as hard as i thought before. she reckoned me n stew r gonna have a trouble with that, but we didn’t. me personally was quite enjoyed it. In this holiday…Starving is never EVER cross over your mind. i do mean it… Nana n Pop always provide us Food…Food n Food… we always have nice Tea n dessert n also sweet. Mind u, although we always have vedgies, i don’t mind at all, cos the food were beautiful. at the first night i was there we went out for dinner at caltex so i still can eat meat, n the next night when we did the hard work (chasing n calving cows) Mum cooked stewed Carrot n green beans, mash potato n vedgies fritata. n the next night Maree cooked Vedgies lasagna (made from the fresh vedgies from her garden n nana’s garden) n fresh Mushy n also sweet. we always have dessert every night. Nana is sort of old fashioned mum who always have dessert every night. We always have home made dessert, such as ice cream, lots of home made cake with cream n even fruit salad. Yummy…Yummy…Yummy ……^-^ . The next night we ate home made pizza. Maree cooked it, we put heaps of stuff on it, even strange stuffs such as egg plant n the eggs all over it…a bit bizarre but it tasted nice…. n the next night we ate Stir Fry vedgies with RICE. Yoohoo…..Pop said " Wow, it looks like nasi goreng, doesn’t it???"

After those beautiful Tea n dessert, the spoils haven’t finished yet. when all of the kids went to bath n slept, all of the adults sat in the lounge room either watched tv programme or watched the video about Sam n Maree’s childhood. Hahaha…that was sooo funny… they r so alike with their children. Well…Fruits don’t fall really far from its trees, do they? n while we made our self relax, Nana asked us "Wanna have something to drink?" n we started ordering what we wanted. Milo was the most favourite i s’pose, n believe me it wasn’t just a drink, we always have the snack, such as Chocolate, Tim-Tam, Bici, even icing Buns. Gosh…..Really really nice…. n not only tea darl…the lunch were beautiful as well. we ate at 1 local bakery, and it was sooo beautiful. i ate the most delicious sausage Roll ever… and also have chocolate donuts for the sweet. and the other day Mum took me to 1 of fish n chips shop, this shop sells HALAL hamburger….Well…the food tasted more delicious than ever….

Off course my life in camperdown wasn’t just all about FOOD (Well…i admit it….most of it. Satisfy ???? ). At the third day i was there, Me, sam Stew, Oli n Indi went for a drive to Great Ocean Road (about 30 mins- 1 hour from camperdown). it’s a tourism place in victoria, if u read a book australia, u must be seen "12 Apostles" on the list of The place to go… It’s really stunning place… The ocean’s in front of us with the Apostles on the middle of it. Well…it’s not 12 Apostles anymore, it’s just about 7 or 8 apostles left. What a shame !!!! we took lots of pictures, me n the kids is my favourite picture. Indi n oli are such a gorgeous kids…. lucky Sam n Stew… I love them n probably they feel the same too… we had heaps of fun together, didn’t we Indi n Oli??? after wondering around the Great Ocean Road, we drove further to Loch ard Gorge. we went to the Look out, did the steps, took heaps of pictures, back to the car n we went to Port campbell for lunch. had fish n chips while we sat on the edge of the beach…How Nice !!!!! after that we did the touristy things, Got off n got on the car to see lots of Tourism place. we went to London bridge, The Grotto (it’s sort of a rocks hole n it has a little pool under the hole. look really peaceful, felt like i wanna jumped on it), and we went to bay of island (saw the Apostles again). and after that we drove back to camperdown. if u think today’s adventure has finished, u r wrong…it’s still on mate !!! About 3kms from camperdown, we drove to the pathway to Lake Bullen Merri. It’s such a big lake stew said they don’t know how deep it is. it’s a volcanic lake, it’s shallow on the edge even u can walk, but if u keep walking suddenly u just fall cos the rocks that u step suddenly turn into deep hole. Careful if u swim there….. we didn’t got off from the car this time, we drove again to the city, n we went to the lake look out, so we can see the whole lot of the lake. Nice lake n absolutelly gorgeous…. after we took couple pictures, we drove to the city, went shopping n went to the last stop. Mt. Leura…the highest point in camperdown…. See all of camperdown, even i could see Pop’s shed.

Sunday Night…Me, Mum, Maree, Aaron n Charla drove back to melbourne. When i saw Melbourne at the first time, there were couple bits of melbourne which made me remember about Jakarta. There were couple places which were really Jakarta. even i said "We r not in melbourne..we r in Jakarta" Mum n Maree were just laughing. We arrived at melbourne at 10 o’clock, n straight away went to Josie’s. Had a chat with Garry for a bit, n knew that eagles won the game, n after that i went to sleep. Try to recharge my energy for tomorrow… Tomorrow is a big day….

Sunday….Big day All right !!!! At 8.15 am, we were ready to go. Josie dropped us off to the station, buy the Sunday save ticket (Murah banget bow….cuma $ 2.50) and off we went. spent a bit of time on the Train. and when we arrived at Flinders street station, all of the sudden i saw The Real melbourne. We were walking around the street to catch the tram to Queen Victoria market (Big Market), n we did. when we arrived at the big Market…i was just shocking…This is HUGE….. we could get everything there…n i started shopping. they sell lots of souvenirs n they r pretty cheap too. i bought lots of souvenir…but thank God i wasn’t as bad as i thought, i still used my mind for shopping, not being the Shopping freak. bought a hat for my dad, n also a koala bag for my sissy. See…i’m still a good sister.. Hahahaha….LOL

That day wasn’t really nice. it was raining when we’re wondering around the market. the plab was we’re gonna go to Rialto, but the cloud was really thick. we thought we wouldn’t be able to see a thing up there, so we decided that we would game n go there at Tuesday. n we just went back to Flinders st, n catch the Free tram to see around melbourne. That was awesome…i could see everything. melbourne aquarium centre, Telstra Dome, 7 news studio, parliament house, Government house, Melbourne park,Rod Laver arena and etc. and finally we got off the tram at the Russell st, caught the train to MCG. WE WERE READY TO THE FOOTY GAME MATE !!!!!! Yap….we’re gonna watch the footy game at MCG. Hawthorn vs Essendon. Mum bought me Essendon scarf n that meant i was the Bombers’ supporters, while mum wore her hawk’s scarf n she was the hawk’s supporters. we sat on the perfect seat. Garry got us the perfect seat, under the roof so we didn’t get wet until we left and it was behind the goal posts.Beside that, we sat among the real bombers n hawks’ fans. They suddenly became Umpire…shouted everytime they could, jumped n moved the team’s flag when their team made the goal. Soooo Funny….. especially at the last minute, when essendon tried to make the goal. the ball was sooo close to the 6 points goal post, we were jumping n shouting loudly, thought that they’ve made the goal, but in fact they didn’t. the ball flew too far… That was soo funny when cried the disappointed koor n all of hawks’ fans among us were laughing at us. The atmosphere was just great…made me really get into it. i was shouting loudly too…who cares about what everyone’s thinking. i don’t know them n considering the fact that, this game probably become the first n last game for me to watch it LIVE. actually essendon was in the front by 5 points, and at the last minute the Hawks made the 6 pints goal, n all of the hawks fans shouted "Where’s the sirene????" they wanna finished the game as soon as possible, but Essendon’s player tried hard to make it (at least) draw, but they couldn’t. the score was really close…they all tried to do their best. but it was hathorn’s day…they just won by 1 point. 84-83….. Wow…what a game…..

Finally we left the stadium with hawks song on the background…walked to the station with thousand of people. mind u there were 40.179 people at mcg n most of them were on the station at the smae time. How crowded was that !!!! Tried to get on the train, but the train was always almost full when it arrived because there was a different footy game on the other stadium. What a exciting day i had….Thanks MUm !!!!!

and at Monday..we just spent the day by meeting the other’s Mum’s sister. they were all nice…suddenly i remember my family when we’re all together. at the farm few days ago, there was a moment when i saw Pop did something, i suddenly remember my Grandpa…remember what he usually did when he’s alive… They r so alike…Miss u Grandpa !!!!! and at Tuesday…we left josie’s house to back to melbourne city centre. said goodbye to her n baby alyssa… n we went to Rialto Tower, had a lunch there n i could see all of melbourne, miles n miles away…even a bit of tasmania. bought some souvenirs n also i got my singing koala…. Yay……… and after that, we went around melbourne. went to the casino…absolutelly stunning….saw lots of things which i only could see on telly before… Dreams come true ……What a live…..n after that we went to southern cross station, caught the bus to airport n went to Motel n met Stoneys there. that was cozy little motel. They provide us very beautiful food. after we had dinner, we couldn’t move at all. Sooo Yummy n not really expensive. Normal price…. i was really full so i ate my chips while i watched tv n i didn’t look really well. stew said "Nhira…u look struggling to eat your food" " OOhh…yeah " that’s all i could say.

watched telly until we went to sleeep n we woke up at 4 o’clock on the next morning. First flight to Perth…got to perth at 8 o’clock n drove back to Albany…

Home Sweet Home…Back to My Lovelly Bed…

How Nice

Back to school again……

Miss my friends heaps…..but not all of the school stuff.

What a Great Holiday !!!!!!!!!!!

Year 12 Ball

Year 12 ball was TOTALLY AWESOME……………

I have no idea how i can describe it….It’s just fully sick….

Hari Jumat (17 Maret), anak-anak year 12 pada nggak bisa belajar… Kita semua pada ngerasa excited. Lots of work to do in front of us, but we just can’t be bothered. we talked about the ball instead. N guru2 pada maklum . "I know u get over excited, at least try to finish 1 page at this lesson" kata Mr. Plant.

Well….finally friday is over…. nyampe di rumah…Rumah udah penuh ama mainan. Indi n Olie have come…. Yay…Jadi aku main-main ama mereka… Balik ke masa lalu nich….anyway…pagi-pagi dibangunin ma suara anak-anak itu. Sarapan, mandi, n main-main lagi bareng mereka. n 4 lunch….we had lunch picnic. n jam 4 an gitu…aku pergi ke rumah Sue bawa peralatan "perang" aku. Siap2 didandanin nih…Pas nyampe disana…dia nanya apa aku ada ide untuk rambutku. Trus aku bilang apa yang ada di pikiran aku, n dia bilang "i reckon that’s gonna come up good. That’s cool…well u get what u want."

Setelah…kira2 setengah jam berkutat disitu..selesai dech…Pas-pasan mum juga nongol disitu bareng indi n olie. Pas liat aku, mereka pada koor "Wooohooo…..look at her !!!"

"Nhira looks pretty…." kata Indi….

Hahahaha….well….bukan maksud hati jadi narsis sich…But sue did really good job. She just mixed the colour, and it came up really good. n my hair…That was just awesome….it was really suit with my outfit. Not too much not too less, just enough….

anyway…jam 5.30 pm, aku diantar Rob ke Pre ball, sebelum itu kita foto-foto dulu di lounge room. anyway…pre ball nya di rumahnya Kate. Nyampe disana, kita ber hai-hai ria. Yang lucu ya….pas kita semua pada ngumpul, ternayat aku, jess Da, jess Do, kate, n Veronica pada pake gaun merah. trus yang lain bilang "hey…we have the red group". I swear…it was totally coincidence….no agreement at all…..

Nggak lama kakaknya kate bawa 6 kotak pizza, well….kita maem pizza sebelum pergi ke ball. kita foto-foto disana… n pas beberapa menit sebelum kita semua ke ball…ada 1 mobil yang dateng. kita pada penasaran "Who’s coming??" ternyata nathan yang dateng.

Dia bawa bunga untuk Eila… n pas mereka berdiri hadap-hadapan gitu. kita pada koor "Ooohh…u two are soo cute. i wanna take your picture"

n pas mereka pergi ke mobil… kita liat nathan jalan ke arah pintu penumpang. Jess bilang "is he driving or there’s someone driving for them??"

"i reckon he’s driving jess"

trus tiba2 ada yang nyeletuk "is he gonna open the door for her??" n bener aja…nathan emnag bener2 bukain pintu untuk Eila. n kita2 yang ngawasin mereka dr jendela, langsung pada heboh. Kita semua pada koor "OOoooohh….." n mulai nyorakin mereka. Jess bilang "That’s the sweetest thing i’ve ever seen!!!!"

anyway…kita pergi ke PCYC (tempat acaranya), udah lumayan banyak yang disana…kita pada membaur…n kalau ketemu satu sama lain kita pasti saling peluk n bilang "U look gorgeous". Mereka suka banget ama tatanan rambutku n dress aku. Emang sih dress aku beda dr yang lain "Made in Indonesia loh". Atasannya red long sleeve silk gitu, n bawahannya rok tradisional gitu. Emang keliatan pas banget malem itu…Well….aku bilang sih kita gak cuma sekedar basa-basi, karena kita semua emang keliatan keren banget….. Banyak ketemu anak-anak dari sekolah lain…dikenalin ma mereka…seneng dech…

Gak lama acara nya dimulai…kita bakal ngelakuin ballroom dancing…. tapi kali ini aku nggak ikutan, cos i’m really crap eventhough i’ve practised it. lagian…tempatnya nggak cukup, klo kita semua pada dance. Karena malem itu, aku juga rada rada "shock". i felt really really stupid….Silly Nhira….how dare u think like that….It’s just the most stupid thing u’ve ever thought. It’s just hurt myself….

Untung ngilangin rasa gak enak itu…aku dancing aja…jaim??? Nggak ada istilah itu lagi…..Tuh perasaan ditendang jauh2…yang ada di otak cuma "have fun go mad…." Aku bayar mahal2 untuk ball ini, 1 kejadian sih nggak ada apa-apanya untuk menghancur leburkan malam ini. n there i was…. Pas bandnya lagi mainin lagu2 up beat. aku ma yang lain turun ke lantai dansa n dance. gak bener2 dance sich…free style dance lah…. alias jingkrak-jingkrakan…. maybe we looked like we were on alcohol, but we didn’t. well…maybe aku dikit2 dizzy…semaleman cuma minum cola n maem 7 strawberry cake. soalnya semua makanannya pada ham n bacon… But that was pretty nice….Anyway…dance jingkrak-jingkarakan…Gila ya….pake rok gitu…sepatu yang rada2 high heels n lompat-lompat lagi. Akhirnya…i had really heel sore feet all day. yang lain malah ngelepas sepatu mereka n dance.

pas udah jam 11.30 gitu, ball nya udah mau selesai. Awalnya aku udah nyerah, gak mau dance lagi… karena udah kecapekan. tapi pas band nya mainin lagu Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana, aku gak bisa nolak lagi. Karena nih lagu adalah lagu yang aku mainin pas pertunjukan musik terakhir aku. Well come on…Just for The last one. Puas jingkrak-jingkrakan ma althea n lucy, akhirnya kita misah. Pas keluar…Rob udah ada di parkiran…. jadi aku langsung pulang. nggak pergi ke post ball karena aku emang ngindarin itu. Too much alcohol….

Well…..i reckon that was pretty great night… i had sooo much fun… different experience but i like it…. btw, Tuh ball masih ninggalin sisa-sisanya nih…Telingaku masih berdengung-dengung, n now i’m feeling sick…i got really bad cold n i have really bad sore throat. Ooohh…please…..

Klo jumat kemaren year 12 pada nggak bisa ngerjain tugas karena kita pada excited…n hari ini kita tetep nggak bisa ngerjain tugas karena kita pada kecapekan… Year 12 were really really slow today…

sampe-sampe Mr. Maguire bilang "C’mon year 12…can’t we move on???"

No…we can’t Sir…..Just let us sleep…….

For the all of the things i’ve been through

Dear Blog….

Time goes so fast

Everything comes and goes fast

Everyone’s home and away

I’m not desperate, i really am not. i just think about all of the things i’ve been through. Just sit on the swing or on the gazebo, listen to Shannon Noll CD, look at the garden and bite my lips, and all of my memory is ready to go. and one by one, they are pop in my head, and suddenly i see a huge white screen, and ges wot???? i’m the star. i can see myself…… On that screen….. doing heaps of thing….

Hey….look at that proud look….i was so proud when i introduced myself to my friends n my teacher. "Hey….i’m nhira, exchange student from Indonesia.Nice to meet u"

Hey…look at that silly look. i felt so stupid, when i couldn’t understand what my friends was talking about. and when i didn’t get what they meant.

Hey…look at that bright smile when i answered the question "So..how long have u been here for?" "I’m gonna be here for 10 months"

Hey…look at that…i was laughing with all of my friends on the school auditorium.teasing each other, or i’m being the only victim of them.

Hey…look at that… i was smiling when i met my friends when we were on the way to our own classes.

Hey…look at that… i was so excited and happy when i got a call from my family

Hey…look at that grumpy look…. i was feeling really hot or maybe i was upset with "somebody" or when i couldn’t control this feeling.

Hey…look at that plain look…i was looking something that i didn’t really look at it or maybe i built a castle in the sky. Just pick one…..

Hey…look at that…. i was looking really worry about my test or maybe about the things i’ve done which wasn’t quite right.

Hey…look at that shiny eyes….i was so excited when the time for my fave programme was about to on or maybe i saw something that i liked

Hey…… look at that miserable look…i was so confusing when i was thinking about my life after this, or exactly my life after the end of june 2006. when i walk towards the Garuda Airlines, fly to my home country and come to my own house.

Hey……look at that lazy look…when i heard someone asked me about "When do u leave us Nhira?" and the look when i answered "End of June". i tried to smile, but it’s just for hiding my feeling. and i felt much worse when they said "Ooohh…that’s soo soon, we r gonna miss u. i’m gonna cry when u leave us". Do u reckon i’m not gonna do the same thing???? i’m going to…maybe worse than u Mate !!!!!!

Hey…look at that look…i didn’t even know what my sight meant. i just felt really miserable, when i saw the pictures of my indonesian’s friends year book. i felt like…am i on the right place at the moment??? i belong to there…. but i’m not there !!!!!!!!!!

Hey….The movie finishes …. Huh….i’m feeling so relief…. i feel much happier now… The one thing i know is..i do the right thing. Don’t need to feel guilty, cos i’m doing the right thing. Thanks for making me realize that thing Dorothy….

Hhhhh….that was pretty much what i felt. more than that i suppose, but i really can’t be bothered to mention it one by one. That’s enough to tell about i’m Happy with the way i am in here….and hope still happy forever n ever.

i always love this phrase " Think positive, Smile to everyone then all of the happiness in the worlds is yours". Hope it is…and i hope u too Mate…

Hey….ges wot????? Bibit Bunga Matahari yang beberapa minggu lalu aku tanam di sekililing rumah, mulai menunjukkan jati dirinya. yang bikin seneng…tumbuhnya di taman persis di depan jendela kamar aku. Duh…Senengnya…ngeliat tuh bunga tumbuh. Finally….. (That’s the word Nhira….)

Pas pulang sekolah….lagi capek-capeknya…..Nih muka kaya ditekuk 1000, tas rasanya beraaaaaaaaaaattt banget….inget klo di dalam tas yang beratnya amit-amit itu, 2 PR menunggu dengan manis untuk diselesaikan, ditambah lagi… Matahari yang bersinar dengan semangatnya. Pas buka pagar samping, n mata tiba2 tertumbuk di satu tempat. Yap….taman kecil di depan jendela kamar aku. Bunga matahari yang kemaren-kemaren masih kuncup, sekarang udah berbunga. Akhirnya…setelah menunggu tiap hari, tuh bunga muncul juga. Pas pertama kali liat tuh bunga, langsung seneng banget. Tas yang beratnya nyampe 10 kg itu (boong kok), matahari yang menyengat tanpa ampun n PR-PR ku tersayang, dan hal-hal yang bikin BT jadi ilang tanpa jejak. SENENG……………….

14 th of Feb

Valentines day????? Hmm….actually i don’t really care. no difference for me at all. The girls wore Pink… The boys brought flowers or chocolate even teddy bear for their girls. Well….that was pretty much happen.Pas di bus sekolah tadi…liat beberapa anak cewek pake pink. Pas nyampe sekolah, para pinkie mulai bertebaran. n pas aku gabung ma yang laen di auditorium…ber happy valentine ria…. kita liat satu-satu cowok datang ke arah ceweknya n ngasih mereka hadiah valentine. n reaksinya macem2 juga…ada yang mekik kaget….ada yang langsung meluk n ada yang langsung nyium….that kinda stuff…… n para prefek mulai berkeliaran untuk jual balon-balon valentine. n yang bikin kita-kita gak BT di pagi hari ini adalah…"Our electric Ball is back". well….we still have our annoying bell though……

Pas first recess….. kita kan smua ngumpul di auditorium, sambil maem morning tea, kita ngobrol-ngobrol. N jess mulai keluar gilanya….. "Hey…Nhira…..Would u be my valentine????" dia natap sambil matanya di kejap-kejapin…

"Yeah….i suppose…."

"Hey…Eila….Would u be my valentine????"

"Yeah…Ok…."

"Good….see…everyone loves me. But eila…nhira still my first one though"

Ngomong2 ttg balon valentine….. pas Lunch, 3 orang prefek keliling-keliling, ngejual balon valentine n duitnya bakal dijadiin charity….

Tau gak charity nya bakal disalurin kemana?????

Tuh charity untuk ANAK INDONESIA supaya mereka bisa dapat pendidikan yang baik. N salah satu prefek yang terkenal jadi drama King di skul, nambahain "C’mon people…..give some of your money for these kids. They need our help !!!!! Don’t let all of Indonesian Kids don’t get proper education.They r soo poor"

"All of them????" aku nanya

"Yep…well…pretty much….."

"Do u know wot??? I’m indonesian….."

"Ohh…really???? well….u r not 1 of them then". Trus dia buru-buru pergi sambil nyengir…..

aku dengernya senyum2 aja……Oooh…..is that what they think about my country???? That’s soo sad…..Well….lucky me then….Beruntung aku disini, jd aku tau apa yg mereka pikir (well….some of them).

Anyway….that was pretty good day, except the humid and today was soooo hot, but when i got home it was raining.The school just looked so different today, dunno why…… maybe just because the atmosphere….

Well….have a good day everybody……

It was Fully Sick Mate !!!!!!

February 8, 2006 by mythoughtsnfeelings | Edit

First day at school !!!!!!!!!! Yay……That was fully sick mate !!! I felt sort of excited and not really excited. Excited cause i’m gonna meet all of my friends again, catch up with them…. but in the other hand…i knew in my first day i’m gonna get heaps of task n homework….. Well…Welcome "My lovely Homework n test". Miss u soooo much. Hahahaha……….

Ok…..The first day…let me think again.When i got off from school bus, i just realized "Hmmm……I’m Year 12. The highest year in this school, and i just felt soo proud of it". anyway…. i went to auditorium and met all of my friend there n new people as well. When the clock pointed 9.50 am, every single pupils in school suddenly stopped all of their activities. some of them shockedn the other ones paused for a minute. but something that we all did was….we closed our ears tightly…. What happen??? we heard very loud sound, when we saw the resource of that sound we saw a man with the bottle on his hand. He brought the new "annoying toy" for us. Actually it is a "New Bell", we don’t use electric bell anymore….and we got the shocking bell instead. it’s kinda manual bell. it’s built by a bottle and cylinder in the mouth of the bottle, and the voice….Ooohh….No…it is Too loud…….. can’t afford it….but what can i do??????…..

Anyway…. when we heard that "bell" rang, all of the students(from Year 8 until Year 12) went to auditorium….. The principal gave a bit of speech about how proud he is when he saw his pupils with the school uniform (It’s not really uniform though), and also introduced us with some new staffs, and one of them was the man who rang the bell, guess wot??? he’s 1 deputy principal of ours….. anyway after that…. The principal asked Year 12 to follow our Year Coordinator (Jono) to Youth centre, cause we were gonna have our contact time.

When we got to the Youth centre, there was someone waiting for us…. She was a psychology and former ASHS teacher as well. She told us some stories about her life and also taught us how to kick our bored off, told some tricks to get better feelings n also told us about 3 heart voices, that was Soooooo Cool !!!!!!! I could hardly feel that time ran, suddenly it was 10.40 am…Recess time everybody !!!!!! yeah…so year 12 didn’t have to study in the first n second period. Yay….. let’s say it was our privilege as year 12. and at the end of the session…she gave us CD for every single person, it’s a CD for helping us clear our mind n some inspirations. and after that…. i went to auditorium with my friends again…continued our catch up and ate our morning tea.

and when the "lovely bell" rang again….. it meant it’s time to study….. and once again….Year 12 had special treatment. we had to stay in auditorium cos we were gonna get our timetable. So…we still sat below the sunshine. It was pretty shiny sunny day…. i felt like boiling…. i’m not used to hot weather anymore. few weeks ago…it was 34 degrees and i couldn’t stand it. drank everytime i could….. sweaty yakhi…. Huh….dunno what to do when i come back…..Ok…i’m out of my track…back to topic please !!!!!!!

Thus, all of Year 12 third period teacher took their places in the auditorium, and Mr. James (Head of Student Service) began to call our names out. and after waiting 4 a while, finally he said Wahyu Utami. See….that’s my name….Yeah….finally i could getaway from this sun. anyway… i followed my Food Production teacher (Ms. De Haan) to the Home Economic area. i’m so glad i got her as my teacher this year, cos she was my teacher in the same class last year, and she was sooooo helpfull even until this sec. I’m in the same class with some of my friends from last year… and this year my work team is kathryn n Roselyn (last classmate from Senior english) and jenny (last classmate from Math).

Ms. De haan gave us our school diary. Yeah….Finally i got one, cos i didn’t have one last year. we wrote our schedule on the particular day and stuff. and she gave our timetable as well. Just a bit of shame about that. WHY ???? all right…i’ll tell u. At the end of the year, i told Mr. James that i wanted to drop my Music to Photography, but when i saw my timetable…i saw that i had Photography and Music as well. and the worst pasrt was I LOST MY MULTIMEDIA….. Oh..NO !!!!!!!

I met Mr. James as soon as i can, and when i got to student service, i saw there was a pretty long line towards Mr. james’s desk…. Well…Seemed like no choice…. i stood following the line. Finally it was my turn, i talked to him…explained everything…and UNFORTUNATELY…… he had a bad news for me. He couldn’t transfer me to Multimedia class, cos it overloaded at the moment. "Sorry to say that Nhira….but we can see next week and see what happen. is that OK ??? "

Finally…. i came to Mr. James again this wednesday…and he got a good news for me. he found space for me in multimnedia class. BUT…once again…wanna be happy??? u need to sacrifice. n that was happen. if i wanna have my multimedia class i have to drop my food production class and find the other class. Well…it does not surprise me anymore. i thought about that, if it doen’t happen otherwise it’s gonna change all of my classes which means new teacher n new classmate. n idon’t want to. i’ve settled easily…..and i enjoy my class. and i decided to still drop my music and have dericted study instead, and still lose my multimedia. Well…that’s fair for me. As long as i can getaway from Music n i still get my other classes. cos i don’t enjoy Music anymore, i DID enjoy it…the teacher (Mrs. Prince ..love u soo much), the classmate, they’re all soooo nice to me. it’s just getting harder n harder, considering i don’t have strong talent on it. Well….i could play 2 songs with bass very well last term, but i just doen’t get into it. See…I really defence myself. Hahahahahaha……

I’m gonna tell u about my other classes….Beside the "Subject Dilemma", i did enjoy my first day in at school and my subjects. I’m doing Discrete Mathematics this year, still TEE though, that means i have to use the graphic calculator again, but i’m in the same with Jess Da, Eila n Kate. Well….Jess Da is sooooo funny. she’s my entertainment and best friend too. and the teacher Mr. Plant is sooo cool. At the first lesson, he brought his stationery box and a canoe pedal. n he asked us to go outside n sat below the big tree. we sat like a big circle, and he asked us to say our name and the friend’s name who sit on our right side. so…the first people just said her name and the last people has to say all of the student’s name. Got it????? maybe u r wondering what the canoe pedal is for? it’s a props for him to explain to us, that in this year…we have to pedal by ourselves and he will direct us. Like when we r playing canoe, he just show us the direction and our job is to pedal. So we can get our aim successfully.

Mr. Plant is really different than the other teacher. he’s tall, mid year old, long hair, and ears piercing, and also talks really fast. but i can understand him (maybe cos i’m used to hear Rob(my host dad) when he’s talking. he talks really fast). and his trademark is ….after he explain us some theory or give us the way to do some question, he always say "is that cool???" or "is that cool for u?" instead of saying "r u understand?" and his body language when he says that is funny too. he says "is that cool" while he moves his shoulder up n down. Sometimes…we laugh at him, he doesn’t mind at all… u can do everything what u want as long as u pedal, u can laugh if u want..u r gonna see heaps of starnge things this year, i’m 1 of them". Hahahahahaha….well….u r cool Mr. Plant.

My Photography class is awesome as well……i met some new friends from year 12 and year 11 as well. and the teacher…well…he’s a bit moody but as long as i don’t do something false, i won’t have a prob with him. Hope so….he’s nice to me anyway…… n My Human BIo class is all right, our teacher is Mr. Brother. a bit different with Ms. Sinclair, but still rockin’……. she told that she went to Vietnam, cambodia, Thailand, but not indonesia. Have i told u she can speak indonesian??? well….she can speak a little bit, cos her father used to in indonesia for a job.

My english class….we have to make a project about social issues, dunno what i’m gonna choose though. maybe something about religion in society or maybe about drugs punishment. i can compare it to indonesian way n aussie way….is that cool?????

Well…..school life is awesome and exhausted….

still happy but….

like jessica said "It was fully sick mate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
