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….

i start watching that movie…. and i just screaming loudly….

Hey…look at that excited look….i was so excited when i was finally step my feet on aussie land

Hey…look at that shaking body….i was soooo cold, it was in the middle of winter when i came to aussie

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 laughing with my host mum n my host dad on the lounge room, laughing about something on the telly, or we were taking on piss of one of us.

Hey…look at that…. i was laughing with my host bros n host sis while we were having barbie.

Hey…look at that….i was smiling when i got goldy from my teacher.

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 blushy face… i was so blushing when my friends or my host fam talked something really nice about me.

Hey…look at that nasty look…. i was nearly crying when i felt hell sore feeling on my toe.

Hey….look at that grins look…. i was smiling transparently when i remember something funny that was happening. especially when i thought what my sister’s gonna say when she’s seeing me walking. "Jalan macet ya a’ ??"

Hey…look at that unmeanable look…i was so blank when i saw it look at me with its eyes. felt uncomfy…

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 serious look…. when i was studying or listening to the teacher or cooking something on my food production class

Hey…look at that bright smile….when i heard mum said "Thanks for the tea darl…That was beautiful… u r my fairy"

Hey….look at that cloudy eyes….when i missed home sooo much. thought about my dad, mum, my sissy, all of my family. thought about everything that i’ve missed since i’ve been here…

hey….look at that guilty look….i felt so guilty for my family about the way i’m feeling now.

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…

"And Finally she lives happily ever after"

Have a grat life Mate !!!!

Yay….My Sunflower r growing…..

13th of Feb……..

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

iNi Hati atau apaan sich ????

Hhh…..nih hati terbuat dari apaan sih????

Batu ????? Tanah liat???? atau apa ???

Nih hati udah diketuk berapa kali ???

Ups…salah…harus diketuk berapa kali supaya nyadar?????

Nyadar terhadap apa yang selama ini aku dapat !!!!!!!!!

Apa hati ini perlu di bom ya?????

Biar Luluh lantah, gak bersisa……..

Berarti nggak bisa ngerasain apa-apa lagi donk????

Apa bedanya dengan selama ini???? nggak ngaruh…….

Perlu berapa kali disadarin kalau selama ini aku udah dapat yang terbaik ????

Liat kebelakang dech….. aku punya teman yang baik2 banget n ngerti gimana aku

Trus keluarga…. HOw lucky i am. Papa, mama n Nhadia masih ada disana….masih lengkap n jelas2 sayang banget ama kamu. Semua kebutuhan aku berusaha mereka lengkapin, kasih sayang yang nggak putus-putus.

Dan saat mereka bermil-mil jauhnya dari aku…ada keluarga yang nota bene nya gak tau gimana n siapa kamu, bersedia nerima aku jadi bagian dari keluarga mereka. Memperlakukan aku dengan baik…n sayang ama aku.

Apalagi yang bisa lebih sempurna dari itu ????

Tapi kok, aku kayaknya nggak pernah ngerasa bersyukur sih????

Selalu ngerasa kurang…. Paling nggak, SELALU inget sama Allah donk !!!!!!!

Inget sama yang udah nyiptain n ngerangkai tangkai-tangkai kehidupan yang aku jalani selama ini.

Aku cuma pengen ngucapin THANKS A LOT untuk orang yang udah berhasil ngetuk hati yang kebal ini untuk kesekian kali.

Kata-katanya sederhana…. Tapi cukup untuk buat aku kalah telak, bahkan sebelum bertarung.

Thanks ya…udah ngelakuin ini…aku tahu, orang yang kumaksud nggak bakal nyadar kalau yang dia yang kumaksud.

Thanks sekali lagi……… I OWE U ………

Happy Aussie Day !!!!!!!!!!

January, 26th 2006

Happy Australia Day !!!!!!!! Hmm…. all of the town celebrated it with Barbie. Yummy…Yummy… "What do u doin’ in oz day?" that’s the most common question to ask to. What did i do?????? heaps of thingz….. da most important is…i had heaps of FUN.

Ok….. yesterday, Mum took me to drive all of Albany, we went to Ross n Dorothy’s house, cleared couple things up, and then went to Bunnings (bought something for our garden project this weekend), went ot shaz’s house and then…… we thought "Hmm…what r we gonna have 4 lunch??" i’m not really noisy about it, i can eat everything xcept bacon,ham,pork. and she knew that. and finally she said "Hmm…. we r gonna go to sandalwood factory, why don’t we have lunch there?? They have very beautiful Fish n Chips"

Hmm….sounds Good…….. even i can smell it. when we got there, we went to Cafe Sultan and ordered Fish n Chips. BUT………. we are so disappointed, they don’t serve Fish n Chips anymore, so we had Roast Beef sandwich, which i think my Tuna sandwich taste better than that. anyway…after that we looked around the factory. they r selling very gr8 products. they r made by sandalwood tree and emu oil. i bought some of them…but the perfume and oil r definitely damn expensive.

Oh…….i have 2 tell u my experience this tuesday. this tuesday Mum took me to The Gap (Natural Bridge) It was so wicked……. the view was so great, so natural. i can’t tell its beauty with words, it’s just so difficult. u should see it by your own eyes. its environtment is great……..very green, full of big rocks. n Mum took my picture when i was in the natural bridge, she took from the up side of the rock and i was in the bottom of it. The wave hit the rocks…. very rough… it’s a gr8 place if u wanna do suicide. Hahahahaha……. and then…the journey still went on.

She took me to the Wind farm….. it’s a place where we can find 12 wind wheels, they supply the power for Albany. when we walk around it, esp on the bottom of it…. u can hear the turbin’s sounds, and suddenly i felt afraid. "Please…Don’t fall off….Don’t fall off". Silly Nhira……….. Well…i love that. we can see around Albany from its look out tower.

The only problem was…. it was sooooo hot. The temperature was 34 degrees. i think i’m not used to hot weather anymore. Well…what am i gonna do when i come back to Indonesia n i have to feel the hotter weather than this. Hmm…i don’t think that i can stand with it. Hahahahahaha……

Well……….i had so much fun. dunno what i’m gonna do next, esp when i come back to Indonesia. No expectation like i had be4 i arrived here. to be honest to myself…. even i’m afraid to go home. face the iregular things again, adapt with new friends again, and stress with the lesson again, Oh…NO..NO…NO………

Hope i’ll have the good ones, even the wonderful ones…….. enjoy your time, 5.5 months remainder.

Aku pengen pulang ?????

Hmmm…mikir-mikir juga sih kemaren…..

Kemaren aku, Mum n Rob nganter christina ke airport. Huah…gila..sedih banget. temen yang selama ini sama-sama, sekarang udah pergi. Pas dateng ke bandara, kita ketemu temen-temennya Christina. n pas pesawat yang bakal dia naikin datang…aku liat tuh pesawat, kok ada rasa gimana…….gitu. Rasanya pengen pulang juga. Pengen ketemu ama keluarga n temen2 lagi. tapi pas mikir-mikir lagi…..kayaknya bukan itu dech…….

Dasar akunya aja yang suka naik pesawat. dari dulu klo ada keluarga yang mo berangkat n aku ikut nganter ke airport, bawaannya pengen ikut. Pengen naik pesawat……… Jadi…aku bener-bener gak pengen pulang…cuma pengen naik pesawat doank. Hahahaha…Silly Nhira. tapi ntar akhir februari juga naik pesawat kok. Aku bakal ke melbourne loh, februari ini…… Yeah…… Liburan lagi dech……

Oh ya…barusan aja pulang dari Manypeaks Rocks. That was sooo awesome. Tuh Batu-batu Gedeeeeee banget. mendakinya lumayan capek juga…tapi capeknya terobati dech…pas liat pemandangan dari atas batu itu. That was Fully Sick Mate.

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you

Yap…this sunday, i’m going 2 denmark. Just in case u r wondering…Denmark in this case, isn’t "The real Denmark’ which is in the up north of the world. It’s a tiny little town next 2 Albany. I’m sure i’ll have a gr8 time there.

Anyway…i woke up early in the morning…had a shower and dressed up…When i was ready…got out from my room n had a brekky… at 7.30 am, we went out the house….We were gonna pick christina n sharon up. when we got to Albany…we met rose for couple secs, arranged the plan for this monday and asked him about their parents condition. Well…not really bad news, they were pretty good. Finally at 9 am..we came to sharon’s house. and now me n christina really say DENMARK……WE R COMING TO ROCK U ……….. We need 50 mins to get there…a long way to Denmark, we just could see Grass, Sheeps, Cows, Hey Bails or in the short word we could see FARM. Well…i wasn’t really surprise anymore….i’m used to it now….but i still enjoy it. To kill our bored, me n christina chatted a long the way. Talk about the other Xchange student and she told me about how hard her friends tried to teach her to pronounce every single word with oz accent. Well…i told u, it’s hard. Christina with her strong Yank accent !!!! But i still wanna learn it..i still have plenty of times here, the accent is really cool…..

Back to our problem please !!!!! Ok…after drove miles and miles and saw the farms…we came to The Tree Top Walk junction. we weren’t there yet….still 13 km to go !!!!! Anyway..couple secs later, i could see a huge giant gate. its title was Welcome to The Giant Tree Top Walk. "Yeah….We r here, finally" i cried. i felt so excited…. we looked for a car park…but we didn’t find one. there were lots of people…i thought there was only us in that place, but i was wrong. Mum said….It’s normal. and she also said "u’ll be surprised if u don’t see any japanese or chinese" and we did. There was no Japanese or Chinese,there were lots Germany instead. This place was bloody fantastic!!!!! I DO love this place…. after bought a ticket…Me n Christina started our "adventure".Mum n sharon didn’t come in, cos they had visited this place too often. So….when i first came in…i saw a huge long wonderful steel hanging bridge. we couldn’t shut our mouth, we always say "It’s gr8"….. We met lots of tourists, and we DO enjoy our walk on the bridge. The bridge swang slowly follow the wind and held our weight up. We took some pictures of the bridge n the trees…that was wicked….we walked slowly and always put our hands on the top of the bridge, because the bridge swang a lot and a bit fast. do u know why??? cos some of the tourists bounced on the bridge, run, or walked so fast. Well…i wasn’t so scared…i just enjoyed it. even sometimes, i followed what they did. I bounced on the bridge and i just laughed when an old couple turned around 2 see who did this. Hahahaha….christina said "it’s weird". Well….it’s not a new new view 4 me. cos in East Kalimantan…there’s a Tree Top Walk as well. There r some differences as well….This one made by steel and off course the people feel more confident and safer, but mine is made by wood. Mine has more varieties of trees n bigger and This one just abit smaller and less varieties. but i LOVE both of them….anyway….after we finished our walk on the bridge, we went to The Ancient Empire Walk. We walked around this place, took some pictures and saw funny shape unique trees. That was Wicked…. After that….we walked to the shop….and went out the Tree Top Walk…. We both felt happy about our experience today. i still feel excited. I WANNA COME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE….TAKE ME BACK !!!!!!

We went to the car park, n when i got in the car Mum said, just couple secs ago, Rob called her. he asked her whether i fell off from the bridge or not, and to tell her that they caught nothing on the beach…Poor Rob !!!! After that….we drove back to the junction. were we going home???? Not yet Mate… we drove to Peaceful bay…. just couple secs later…we finally got there. we drove around the village, n the funniest thing was every house has a title such as Home & Away, Neighbours, Dizze Lazze, etc…Hey…where’s Head Land ???? we still drove around it, and hop off to see the market…that was wicked…. and finally we ended up in a shop to buy our lunch. i tried "the Squid" n It was soooo beautiful. We ate our lunch in the edge of the beach, while seeing couple guys fishing, n watching a huge wave coming crash the rocks. That was nice…just 4 information…It’s the Most Tourism Place in Denmark.

And then…we drove again…. this time we drove to William Bay…this place is as good as peaceful bay. The water was calm n soooo blue. i felt like i wanna swim, but i couldn’t. because i didn’t put my bathers on and it was a bit windy. the water must be cold. Soo…we just enjoyed the view…and took some pictures. That’s enough…i still have time to do it….

And the next destination was Alpaca Farm…. We drove back to the way to Denmark, just couple kilos b4 Denmark, we turned left to the little road. We were on the way to Alpaca farm…i couldn’t wait anymore to see this place. cos Mum has told me about what this place has. Guess what???? i’m going 2 see my first koalas….how wicked is that !!!!! So When we got there, me n christina just hop off the car as soon as we can,n me, christina n Mum walked to the front gate to buy a entrance ticket. We walked out the office with 1 staff, and when we were outside i was so excited and my eyes just looked on 1 point. i couldn’t take my eyes off on it. What did i see ??? I SAW MY FIRST KOALAS…………….. Yeah…..Now my dream has come true…. Koala is The Cutest Animal ever. it has soft body, very cute looking, and tiny little eyes, and also funny teeth in the middle of its mouth. Mum said we were lucky, cos they’re awake. They usually sleep when she got there, and not only that….they were eating !!!!! They ate euchalyptus tree…. n u have to see them when they r sleeping. They r so cute….They bend over their body to the front and look Sooooo cute. I felt like wanna bring them back home…but off course i can’t. They r Sooooo Cute….maybe u think that i’m really exxagerate. Well…maybe ..but how can i control this feeling ???? i was n i am so excited….. After a while…. We went to the next door….and we saw kanggoroos and alpacas…. so we went in the blog, and suddenly 2 alpacas came straight away to us. i felt a bit scary at the first time….because they r high for animal body. they are about half of my body. Mum said "Don’t be scared…they r not dogs. u can feed them". So we fed them with the food that was given b4. when i fed them from my palm of hand…i felt so ticklish…..they was like lick my hand…and i always gigle because of that. and we were lucky again..cos a staff told us just half an hour ago b4 we came, there was a alpaca giving birth her child. so we could see the Brand New Baby Alpaca. and i felt so Lucky again…. because i saw and took some pictures of Kanggoroo, Its pouch and Joey…. I was so excited…. i remember fajar asked me about its pouch, whether it’s real or not. n he wanted a close up picture of it. n now i got it… i was so excited……. and more than that…. I felt so Lucky i could get it….. we fed the kanggoroos as well…and they r so cute n funny. I LOVE it…….. after that…we walked around the farm. we saw Pigs, Rabbits,Cows, Deers, Goats, Chooks, Emus, Byson, Tyson, Scotland Cows, england Horse, Camel. I gave a cuddle for the rabbit. They r so wicked…… and Then we walked back to the front. We saw Joeys… we could give them a cuddle…they are so tiny…. when i cuddled him…i felt like i cuddled a baby…..Soooooo cute…………… and then we went back to the shop…. bought some souvenirs…. there were lots of cute stuffs….. Time run soooooo fast….. i don’t wanna go home…i wanna still there. n I WANNA COME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Mum said "No need 2 worries…. i will bring u back here again b4 u go home, with the other xchange student" Yeah……. I’d LOVE IT……. Can’t wait until that day come…….. Come on xchange student….come to Albany…..We’ll take u to the greatest places ever…….. and on the way home…..Mum took us to The Denmark Look Out Tower . We could see all around Denmark from it.

And then we finally drove back 2 Albany. Take Christina n Sharon back home…… I couldn’t stop say Thank You to Mum for taking me out today n let me feel this excitement and happiness….. This is the last week for Christina in australia. This sunday…she’ll go home to america. Well….i will miss her so much…i lose 1 friend…but we’ll still keep in touch…..
