Survived.

It's so rare of me to share a selca but since it's new year so here it is :)

I always have insecurities on wearing kebaya and I finally, finally gave up to my mom's pleading cause she insisted on me to wear that for cousin's wedding so yeah... that was my first time wearing a kebaya and I think I'm not gonna wear that anymore, not until my wedding loljk -_- Maybe I will, depends on the mood ha!

Anyway, we're currently out of town for practical exams. Spending the new year's eve with peeps jamming to Avenged Sevenfold while reading modules lol we're so pathetic. This year is so dull we don't get to go to at least the firework fest because of, well the practical exams. We have fun on our own though, it's not really bad spending time with the crazy guys from 81.2 at Pim's place. 

2011 sure passed by so quickly. One year ago I was a frustrated senior year student lol. I spent the whole time thinking about final exams and college entrance test. This was a crazy year and I survived it all. I even still can't believe that it has just passed. So many laughters, tears and memories that can't be forgotten. I learned a lot, and I guess I've grown more mature, no? c: 

So uhmmm what do I expect from 2012? Good grades, gain cooking skill and get a boyfriend maybe loool.

Happy new year lovelies!

I Don't Understand.

I was going to just shrug it off, but by the time went I get seriously annoyed.

I know this is unnecessary and I shouldn't make a big fuss about such thing, but seriously, what is your purpose by tweeting something that I've tweeted not long ago? Why did you copy what I've said? I don't get what's your motive but really? If you thought it was fine for you to tweet that when I was nowhere to be seen on your timeline, you're wrong, I was there and I saw you but I just didn't tweet anything. I thought twitter is a place where we can share about our thoughts, spazz, talk, and etc. Okay fine you can tweet aaaanything you want but that doesn't include tweeting the exact same thing I've tweeted, right? You know I follow you but seriously, what is your purpose? Are you tweeting to impress people? :| Because you are my friend, I'm telling you this. I'm not mad, this just annoys the hell out of me. 

You know who you are. Gue rasa gue gak perlu sebut merk.

Anatomy.

So uhm we were talking about assignments. I got waken up at midnight to finish the remaining papers, and I asked Vixen why wasn't she sleeping yet. She'll have tentamen (a practical anatomy exam) the next morning so she has to study hard. I know it's damn difficult, the exam, they even named parts inside a small hollow on bones lol. Even a single scratch, it has a name. What is life of a med student.. This subject is one of million reasons I hate biology and chose engineering instead. Speaking of which, anatomy and I, we have history.

You know you remember that time in high school when we had to examine animal body parts. And seemed like that'd become everybody's favorite part in this subject, but not for me. For annelids I'm still fine with it, and fish also. When it comes to frogs.. lol now when I look back to when we had to cut open a frog, my partner must be really frustrated to be partnered up with me. Poor Feng, he had to do all the jobs while I just saw him from afar. Sorry to cause you so much trouble for the whole year Feng, and thanks for saving my practical exam score. I shall treat you dinner next time we meet. In case you stumble upon this blog, I just want to say I owe you a lot. 

Everybody said "Rena it's okay, it doesn't bite" "it doesn't jump on you" "it's not dangerous at all" "it's fun". Lol guise try to put yourself in my shoes. I can't just run the scalpel along their bodies without that torturous feeling inside that haunts me every time. And it gives me weird vibes whenever I see lifeless body. Plus basically I don't really like animals, alive or dead. Fun my ass. 

That was nothing compared to what happened when we visited anatomy lab in one of prestigious university. There were a lot of cadavers. Yes cadavers, lifeless bodies. Corpses. Dead people. Arms, legs, brains, they even have babies, the ones that born premature or deformed fetus. They also have a full body cadaver, which stored inside a see through coffin-like or something I don't know the name. I swear it was a lot scarier than any horror movies. Because of my reputation in anatomy class they pranked me lol thanks guise I couldn't stop thinking about it for the whole week. So I was examining a 6 month old fetus when they left me behind and locked me up with that full body cadaver. I'd probably be fine with it if it was a still in normal condition cadaver. But to be honest, I was pretty interested in observing cadaver I guess that's my favorite part in this subject. They called me weird for being more scared of animal corpse than human corpse. I was pretty good in human anatomy though, especially human reproduction lol who doesn't? Everyone in the class seemed to get an A+. I got B for my final score. And you must be wondering how did I pass the tests lol Idek it just happened. I think I've worked really hard. Though most of the biology classes I had suck big time, I was pretty popular in anatomy class. 

Ah good old times in high school. 

Back.

It's been a week since I came back to college! 

And I'm back to face the usual hectic college life. The non stop assignments are messing up my sleeping schedule even worse. Classes start 9 to 2 or 4, or 6 or 7 when I have extra classes. Sobs I should hang on until the holidays come ughhh happy timessss why do you seem so long.

Anyway, I want to be able to blog regularly again but I sometimes don't have the feel to do so because of the assigments. I should try! And it's been ages since I post the regular post owipqopoq the last time I came here was just to rant. 

Eid mubarak at Aunt's house was a lot fun, the fooodsssssss omg I think I gained some pounds that time. My chubby cheeks were getting chubbier than ever lol but hey I'm back to normal rn :) My mom still at my aunt's place so I hope she'll be back soon safely. 

I still suck at cooking. My housemate is pretty good at cooking fortunately, but she can only do several dishes so we'll sometimes have three same menus in a week haha I don't mind though as long as it's edible ;u; 

It's gekikara ramen! Tastes dangerously good lol it's so spicy and a bit hot but it doesn't burn your tongue. Instant ramen of course, do you expect me to cook this by myself -_- Even I suck at cooking instant ramen orz the soup was all gone cause it lacked so much water.

When I thought gekikara tastes the bestest my housemate made udon noodles cause her family packed her the ingredients and I immediately take those words back lol. She made a huge portion for us \o/ Asian foods are the bestest \o/

Say hello to my new baby!

I get this few months ago, a samsung galaxy tab s1. My mom suddenly brought this home for me I didn't even know why lol. My current phone is getting old. I don't really often use this one though, cause when you make a phone call it's really loud and you have to use an earpiece or people will hear the whole conversation. So for now I'm still using my lubly E63. I still have to save money to buy new cam though :3

Gotta spend another day at home to rest my sprained ankle!

065 - Vixen and Porch

Sigh.

I don't really know when did we start to call each other Vixen and Porch. She calls me Porch, and I call her Vixen. LOL. So actually, there's this new neighbor who has just moved in to the house across mine, and he's the reason why Bree started calling me Porch. He is three years older than me, and seems quite friendly. But I take that words back, he's such a freak. You don't even want to know the rest of the story.

Anyway, mom and Charles have been pretty busy with their jobs, they leave in the morning and home almost midnight. Sigh. My brother has been staying here for almost a week now, but he's busy taking pictures, he'll be leaving at 4 and go home at 10. Not that he uses all that hours to take pictures only, he meets his colleagues and some photographers for their project, I guess? He'll be leaving for Auckland next month because he got a job as a professional photographer for a magazine there. So yeah, I'm always alone at home. Vixen sometimes come over though, and the last time she came we baked cappuccino buns. She's really a good cook.

I want to personally thank Vixen for helping me these past days because I'm not good in the kitchen. Sigh. THANK YOU VIXEN BREE.

It's been ages since the last time I met Chao, but yesterday he came to Adelaide all the way from Perth. And brought me this cute bag. He said he saw this somewhere in CT, and looking at the eiffel pattern on it kind of reminded him of me :'>

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND MUSIC VIDEO. LSDJFLKASDFASDF. Bommie unnie did an all kill in all online music charts too. Correction. DOUBLE ALL KILL. Congratulations Bommie unnie, I know you really deserve it <3333 Teddy is such a genius. Now I'm really looking forward to 2NE1's comeback \o/

Anyway, enjoy your easter holidays! Did you hunt eggs? :>

Happy easter! Finals in next week!

060 - Foolish April

It's April Fool's Day!

No I ain't gonna prank you.

Because it's always me who get pranked eventually otl. My friends pranked call me today because I didn't go to school. I caught a fever so I stayed home. But those heartless people called me and they said that anyone who didn't attend school today won't be allowed to send their college application letter wth -,- I was already on my way to shower with my hot temperature but then they called me again and playfully said APRIL FOOL'S DAY. 

How could they lie about this alskdflaksdf how could I not believe?

So umm... hi!

School's been crazy, but I'm not gonna say I'm tired. I do, but I have promised myself to hold on. And I ain't gonna whine :D

It's coming closer, the final exam, and the college entrance test. I'm gonna study harder and harder c:

Eating a self-made strawberry cheesecake like a boss! *proud* 

056 - Plaisir Coupable

Crème glacèe est mon plaisir coupable.

It seriously gives me a chill. Whenever my mood is down or high or angry or happy.

But my mom told me to stop because I'll gain weight in no time and my cheeks are bloated already -,- But seriously, can you believe that? I have a bunch of activities so I guess that's fine, because the calories are burnt as my body works 8)

And... I had my proper sleep today. Finally. After all these days and assignments and homeworks and papers lajkdflajksdf. I didn't even know how I managed to survive. I'd probably dead because of all these hectic days but yeah. I had a bunch of amazing friends who are always with me and we're going through this together, until the graduation. Merci, pour toutes les fois que nous avons eu :)

p.s : ooh combien j'aime le gâteau au fromage à la crème glacée à la fraise :9

p.p.s : vous voyez mon nouveau style de coiffure lol

055 - La Saint Valentin

Why only on valentine's day when you can actually express the feeling any day and any time?

It's the day of love so what about the other 364 days? 

Whatever, I'll still love you guys all along the 365 days Mom, Dad, Mario, friends, and... David.

Thanks Dave, for the great two years you've been spending with me. You were like the only person I know well the first time I moved here, and you helped me through the hard times. I felt really thankful to you, and glad to meet such a nice and awesome person like you, as I developed feelings for you. It didn't go well though, you know, some best-friend to lover stories aren't ended up good but... oh well, I'm glad with our relationship now. 

I don't mind if you read this though. I know you don't know I have this blog lol but if you get it from Bree or others well yeah I guess it's okay :D I love you Dee, but it's not the same love I used to feel towards you. Il est plus comme un amour platonique que je ressens pour vous. Tu me fais la fille la plus heureuse sur la terre pour avoir un meilleur ami comme vous :)

p.s : j'aime votre chocolat blanc ❤

054 - Sourire

I'm not the kind of person who likes to camwhore. 

Because I know it won't come out good, no matter what. Maybe it's just because I'm not that pretty? Whatever.

Here I present you a selca of me to puke on.

And I love making weird faces.

LOL.

Anyway I finished my presentation about how radioactive decay works pretty good today, and it's really worth the hard work, since I stayed up until midnight to prepare all of that. I got an A :D

It's only Tuesday and I really want weekend to come faster alsdjkf I need more time to rest :\ Last weekend was pretty busy though, I thought we'll have the charity concert on Sunday, but they moved it on Saturday so yeah -_- I got an ME class to catch that day, so right after I finish I rushed towards Norwood. It was fun though :)

Chao is coming over Adelaide tomorrow. We'll shop around, along with Nate and Meg, and I get to accompany him shopping for the Chinese New Year. 

Oh, Charles had a trip to Bandung for a week. I had expected him to bring a lot of Indonesian foods but he didn't -_- I've been craving for Cheese and Banana Bolen though :s 

And,

I promise to go sleep early again today :D

Shopping spree tomorrow yay!

053 - A.D

Happy Australia Day!

And we had an amazing BBQ party here woohoo~ xD

We had a koala shaped biscuits and pavlova too!

We, me and my friends, went to the museum, which was the very first time for me to go there since I moved here, and we learned a lot about Australia's history. It was fun :D

Oh, Bree and Sarah wore an Australian flag dress lol. 

After that we played didgeridoo in my neighborhood. It's like some kind of wind instrument or wooden trumpet. I swear it's damn hard to play, I suck it -_- 

I went home early while they're going to watch fireworks downtown ugh my damn sore throat -_- I need to get enough rest since I'm currently in my recovery mode. My cervical lymph node is swollen so yeah -o-

Anyway, we'll be having another charity concert this weekend yay! Hope my throat will be in a better condition so that I can perform ;~;

I'll go to sleep early today, I promise xD

So, may you have a great and wonderful day! :D

050 - Nouvelle Annee

It's finally come, 2011 is just a couple hours away now. Bye 2010, and thank you. For teaching me how to finally let go of something and move on. Ever heard of time heals?

I've been through so maaaaaany things within this year. Met awesome people and made friends, went to Waitemata, visited Bali, met old friends, my brother, my dad. I laughed like crazy, cried the hell out and many other things. I had the best birthday ever, I had my first performance on a big stage, I had the best Christmas dinner, I went to an audition and failed (lol -_-). And oh, I got my part time job for the very first time :) It was so amazing to feel that I can earn my own money and be independent. Not forgetting that I got my driving license too, just a couple weeks after my 18th birthday. And I drove all the way to Perth alone xD

My mom's marriage with Charles is the greatest things ever happened this year. She finally get over my dad and gets married with someone who truly and whole-heartedly loves her. I still remember the time she'd cry and throw things whenever my dad call, and I would always be the mediator between them. The hard times she had, was finally over. Charles Etienne Bass is a good guy. He's such a great buddy xD

And oh, this is my last post in 2010 right xD I want to take a break for 2011, keeping myself away from internet, updating tumblr, blogspot, twitter, youtube, including my fangirl life lol. I maybe will still go online, but not really often, unless on holiday or if I really have a free time. I want to concentrate on school now, getting my good grades back and I want to graduate with an excellent result and then get myself a place in university. FACULTY OF ENGINEERING is my goal. I have to get a freaking good grades and prove to those people that I CAN MAKE IT :D

Besides, doctor's verdict says I have some health problems, and I should get ENOUGH rest, which I've never done in 2010, I slept like maximum 5 hours a day -_- So that's why, I'm keeping myself from internet. Now my life is just school, sleep, pray, study, eat. Until I graduate and get accepted in university.

So, new year's resolutions: GRADUATE WITH EXCELLENT GRADES, GO TO UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF ENGINEERING CLASS OF 2011, GO TO PARIS/KOREA, MEET 2NE1 XD

I hope everything will get better in 2011. I don't feel regret on what I've done this year, because I can't do nothing about it. I made mistakes, I screwed things, but all I can do is let go and move on. Because life goes on.

Happy new year's eve! Welcome new year, new life, new adventure, new me! :D

Vous voir l'annee prochaine <3

049 - Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! ♥

I feel so relieved that today's performance went well. 

Uh actually, Penn forgot some of his lines, but it was still okay, we could make it up yay! So many people were coming with their kids, and the kids were just alsdjkf too cute xD

The profit we got from the ticket selling is for charity and good deeds :)

And then we had dinner in Dave's house, it was fuuuun. Friends from school, friends of friends, neighbors, family of friends, they were all coming. 

I got to babysit Dave's little brother, Jeremy, and he is only seveeen lol. He couldn't speak english well, since he grew up in France, so I should stay beside him while Dave was talking to guests. The Christmas tree was beautiful, too bad that I didn't get a chance to take a photo of it, because I left my camera ;~;

The best part is the food. They got the best food out thereeee, OMG Dave's mom is such a great cook alsdkjflf the tartine <3 It's way much different from the tartine that Charles cooks, plus it doesn't smell like foot xD

That was the best dinner of my life, best day of 2010 after my birthday. I would like everyday to be like today, when you can see happy smiling faces and hear the sound of laughter all around :)

Anyway, have a great holiday~♥

048 - Let It Snow

Merry Christmas! Though I don't celebrate it, but I'm going over to Dave's house tomorrow night for dinner :D I helped decorating the Christmas tree and finding the gift, it was a looot of fun. I'm sure there'll be a lot more fun tomorrow, and we'll be performing the musical of Alice in Wonderland at School too tomorrow afternoon and I'll be the Red Queen \o/ I'm not going to wear the red hair wig, no I don't want to LOL. The make up is weird already -o- We just done the last rehearsal today, but idk, we're still lacking in some parts, hopefully tomorrow performance will be success :)

Oh, have you heard KiSeung's Let It Snow? It's lasdjkflaksdf amazing and beautiful ;~;

047 - I...

...will put the phone under the pillow whenever you call, and pretending not to hear it so that I'll have an excuse for not picking up your call.

That awkward moment when you ask me what happen on my sudden change of mood while you're the reason why.

Que dois-je faire? Que dois-je dire?

045 - Nouveau

We really don't know what will happen ahead.

One year, and I've been through so many things. 

I drove all the way to Perth a week ago, alone. That was the first time and the longest car driving I've ever had ;~; I met Chao, and some of his friends. And my SACE result will come out next few days. My class will be doing a drama musical of alice in wonderland, I'll be the red queen duh -_- We'll perform on Christmas :)

But now I'm on my holiday break, finally. I need some rest and relax my self cause I've been having a pretty busy weeks. Maybe I'll go to China Town next Tuesday with mom :3 Or shopping to Rundle, whatever, I just need to entertain myself -,-

Anyway, it's nearly new year. 2010 surely passes by sooo fast. 

But, I don't ask 2011 to be awesome, I just want it to be better than 2010 :)

Maybe... I shall write a new year's resolution later.

ParaVersa

drawn by this girl :

Her name is Arin. She's my cousin and my close friend. 

So, we were chatting on msn because I need some help for doing my chem papers since tomorrow is my exam (I'm not even sleeping yet around this time rofl). She's really good on science and math so that's why ;D

And when we finished she showed me the doodle she drawn at her school. It's from 2NE1's It Hurts music video, if you don't realize xD

She drew it on the floor lol. She said she drew it just for fun but realized it's pretty cute then she took a picture of it. I first thought it was like a toddler's drawing rofl. 

But I think it's pretty cute too :3

D. D

A super beautiful doodle drawn by David Dwadson.

It captured the moment we shared together keke. So he gave me this a couple days after my birthday. He already gave me a journal, but he said he made this specially. He actually drawn this from a picture that taken on my birthday. This is the most precious gift I've ever received from someone. And oh, he said that this was photoshopped a couple times because he got a difficulties on drawing my nose and lips LOL. But the final result really came out well ryt :B

18 And Growing Up

Thanks to Aaron for taking this beautiful picture :)

Today is my 18th birthday. And I got pranked. Twice actually. 

When I woke up, my mom and step dad already gone. They left a note on the fridge saying that they were going to Salisbury until tomorrow so I'll be alone at home. They haven't said happy birthday yet to me. I felt a bit sad, but I tried to understand, maybe they forgot because they're busy. 

Around 10 AM, my friends called me. Bree, Sarah and Nate who were called. Bree was the first, then followed by Sarah, and Nate was the last. They told me that Aaron got a terrible accident yesterday, he injured his right leg and had fractured ribs, and he can barely move his body. They also said that Aaron could get a permanent paralysis too. I was shocked. I can hardly believe it since I just met him yesterday afternoon and he was completely doing fine. I decided to go to Aaron's house. When I reached there, there was nobody, it was all dark, and the door was unlocked. I came in but I still couldn't find anybody. When I tried to get out, somehow the door got locked. I felt a bit scared at that time ;~;

I decided to try the back door and went to the backyard. Just after I touched the knob and opened the back door to the backyard, someone threw the cake on my face. I couldn't see. I wiped all the cake, and I saw Bree standing in front of me and holding a cake. Then behind Bree I saw Aaron totally healty with no bruise. And I saw the others. Sarah, Jared, Meg, Tess, Nate, and Dave. Yes Dave. Doesn't he supposed to be in Canada now? I was thinking like that. But he was there. And he's back :)

They prepared everything in the backyard. The foods, the cake, and drinks. When I was about to slice a cake, they lift me and were going to threw me to the water. I struggled and I could get stand on my feet again. But suddenly they pushed me into the pool. I got wet. And I cried. I cried out of happiness. That was the best birthday party I've ever had. My friends are awesome :D

Aaron gave that small crystal stuffs shaped like candies and sweets, just like on the first photo. And Dave gave me a journal. Since he knew the last one that he gave me last year have already full. Bree and Sarah gave me a red beanie, which I've been looking for. I asked Tess, Nate, Jared and Meg where's my present jokingly LOL. I don't really want a present, their presence is the present :D But they said they' ll give it to me tomorrow, aww they are so kind :)

And in the evening I got home with Dave. Since my parents were away, Dave stayed for awhile. He was going to help me cook dinner, when my mom and step dad home all of a sudden. They brought home a lot of delicious dishes they got from my step dad's cousin. 

And that was the best dinner I've ever had with the whole family. And Dave too :')

My mom and dad gave me a new givenchy flats. A bit different, but same color. White. You know, my brother spilled coffee on my old givenchy ;~; Then after dinner I had a very nice phone calls with my friends in Jakarta and my brother. 

This is the best birthday ever. I got pranked twice. But I like it ROFL.

Oh wait.

Happy birthday too, Key! I like sharing the same birthday with you LOL. WYATB, twinbro. ROFL. 

I still can't stop smiling like a fool. This is the best moment of my life.
