The One WIth Non-Block Movement

ok, to start with, let me tell you that i have two younger sisters..one who is extremely hardworking, and another who is extremely slack. *kok kaya cerita di alkitab yah?!*

so, being the hardworking one, she has so many things to do with so little time. It's been a habit for her to ask my other sister to help her work, like finding new online.

One day, she had this history assignment about the NOn-Block movement (read: gerakan nonblok, entah apa bhs inggrisnya)
Sis1 : Eh, can help me to do my work?
Sis2 : Sure, what am i supposed to fine?
Sis1 : Erm, find stuff about non-block movement..
Sis2 : Ok,... but please tell me what field is it? was it religion, science????

Me : ....................
Sis1 : you don't know what is a non-block movement??
Sis2 : well, i have heard of it, erm, maybe in sports? you know like blocking in volleyball or sth??
Me : .................

may she learnt more after she found out abt that non block movement

The One With January HOliday

Oh wells it really has been a long time since i wrote.
It's like me cindy and vd were competing against one another for the person who do not write their blog anymore..muahahah

life's good.
exam has ended, although somehow that 8 prostho questions were squeezed into a terrible 2 hours (supposedly it's 1.5 hours)
hello u think we write like the flash?!!
so far i has not opened my GPA yet in the internet. I think i want to not look it until i graduate and become a dentist. Haha. That will be much more fun, looking back of what you have done and how well you did it.

yesterday, the new committee for kuksa were announced, and i was their secretary and treasurer (at least i don't need to plan what's going to happen every friday, like i usually do)
oh, and last sat we did 'baksos' in cilincing. It was a great experience though. I was helping the clinical student doing their extractin for their children. Gosh, how difficult it was to persuade them to open their mouth and get the injection. Some children need to be taken care of by 3 people so that he or she does not kick the student.
They are too afrad of injection i guess.

A friend of mine was persuading the children by asking him to play hide and seek with her. So the child was asked to close their eyes, and you are supposedly hiding from them. ONly that you Took out the syringe and jab it in the mouth. AWFUL.

Oh, and this is another story i want to share.Very Lame.
We were on a bus, and were about to start the journey. As usual, it was opened with a prayer. It was our father prayer. The person in front of the bus was leading the prayer, and we repeat it as usual. So my friend, let's call her L, who sat beside me, also repeat the prayer right.

Ok. Our Father should sound this way (IN INdonesia):
..seperti kamipun mengampuni yang bersalah kepada kami, dan janganlah masukkan kami ke dalam percobaan, tetapi BEBASKANLAH KAMI DARI YANG JAHAT. AMin.
(..as we forgive those, who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, BUT DELIVER
FROM EVIL)

well, normal people will pray it that way. But my friend, say it this way, of course accidentally:
..seperti kamipun mengampuni yang bersalah kepada kami, dan janganlah masukkan kami ke dalam percobaan, tetapi BERSABDALAH SAJA MAKA SAYA AKAN SEMBUH
(..as we forgive those, who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, BUT JUST SAY THE WORD, AND I SHALL BE HEALED)


??????????????

you need to go to the church more often, lov...
muahahahah

Yeanching, take care on your trip to Europe!!!

The One With Lebaran Holiday

Fasting month is finally over and i finally had my one week break for lebaran holiday. School has only started for a month and i already long for holiday. Gosh. Ortho labs was demanding. I never really got the feel to bend the wire in this way or that way, i mean, is there any point of doing it at all, because by the time you graduate, you will give all the job to the dental technician..Sigh. Now i have to practice at least once a week before the lab so that i know what to do. I hate labial bow. When you try to fix this part, the other part will change, and you will get tired of changing everything, and you think that it is much better to just redo it all over again.

And the professor want different things. Once i showed my c coil to this guy professor. Then he said i should redo it because the coil was too far from the cervical portion. I tried to redo it and got so frustrated that i just showed my original work to another professor, and she straight away marked my work and asked me to move on to labial bow.

wait wait
this post is drifting from the main topic.

AH HOLIDAY.
what holiday?! my maid went back, which means all of us have to do some household chores. Exam is coming in 2 weeks time and as usual, i am clueless of which book should be used as reference, or which part of it is important.
i spend my holiday studying (A level flashback), wiring (THAT wire), reading (Sang Pemimpi was good!), watching (LASKAR Pelangi was good too!!!), and going to Bandung and Bogor to shop.

Bandung was full of Jakarta people, and it was traffic all over. Gosh. Basically i spent more time travelling than being in Bandung itself. The outlet was so full that you don't feel like shopping anymore (but i do got a nice trousers there).
There is nothing in Bogor but they open some factory outlet and yes i manage to buy a knee-length shorts for abt 60,000 (good bargain)
Not forgetting to mention that i had a trip to mangdu the week before, and bought a few piece of clothes.
To sum it up, i spent too much on clothes. Must work harder to earn more money.

If by any chance vidi read this blog, i want to tell you i didn't even finish reading laskar pelangi. The sentence was too beautiful that i get tired of reading it. I mean just go straight to the point, why being so draggy.But the movie was good! (and funny!)
and the second book was not bad...you should read the rest,vid, he wrote 4 books!

And by tomorrow holiday will be over, and i will return to my mundane life.

Just now i read alice's blog and thought how much i miss all my friends: Alice, Cindy, Yeanching, Vidi, Lita, classmates, people form v hall...
my life now was not better than before, i mean i'm not living in a rat race anymore. But somehow i missed those vj times when i had tonnes of work to do, lagging tutorial to catch up every week, many many harmoc practice, sports matches and concert to watch,...It was so fun that i didn't really feel the burden...
but now i live at home, with everything provided, i didn't even have to do my laundry, clean up my room, wash the toilets, or even change my bed sheet.
But it was different. When i ate my meal i ate quietly, and i really miss those times when all of us will gather in one table, and just talked and laughed until they close the dining room; or partied in 824 (is that correct?!) until somebody told us to quiet down...

anyway, for all my friends out there, even though we don't really have the time to talk or meet up, i miss you guys a lot, and i wish you all the best in everything you do.
*and please come back during christmas holiday!

The One WIth Hello I'm Back

i'm back! *actually i wrote because a dear friend asked me to update my long-forgotten blog*
well it started with being busy, thinking that later i will obviously have time to update my blog with all those fun activities i have during this holiday. which of course, never happened, ladies and gentleman.

Hm. An update of my life.
Holiday is almost over. Can u believe it. 2.5 months passed very fast, and now i am almost back for the new block: orthodontics and prosthodontics. With the long long lab hours. Argh.
stop
stop talking about school!

HOLIDAY!
ah.
well two major events took place during the holiday. First is my bangkok trip and singapore trip. To sum it up, it was always fun to be back in singapore *i am proud to say that i love living in singapore much much more than living in indon*
meeting the usual bunch: cin lit yeanching adith sherly (sher, i will tip you more the next time i stay in your room). Updates about their life, etc. Oh yeanching don't drink too much k!
And of course i have the perfect saturday *i am lazy to post all the pictures, maybe just some*
Going back to vhall, east coast, and VJ bring back all the memories of the JC years (guys, now they have vjc murals behind the canteen toilets). Time flies and now i am a year 5. Wow.

About Bangkok.
I must say it is an interesting city, the people really look up at the king, who is one of the longest king in this world *he ruled for 60 years, and sitll going*
A lot of tourist attraction there, The Grand Palace, MBK, Sirikhat Zoo, Jaktujak market (too bad i was only there for an hour)
The trip was with my parents. You know how parents could be annoying sometimes.
Sigh,
I wish i have those times in April 2006 when i got the chance to make a trip together with the rest of the girls. *grad trip, anyone?!)

Other than that there was the APDSA held in Surabaya. For those of you who do not know anything about this event, APDSA is a short form of Asia Pacific Dental Student Association. This so-called convention is held every year at different asia pacific countries, this year Indonesia has the honour to become the host of this big event. It brings dental students from various universities and countries in ASia Pacific region.
This year, since it was held in Indonesia, I had the chance to be the committee. Well not the main one (the local organising committee is the unair people). I was one of the group leaders, something like an OGL.
This year there are about 450 students coming from Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan. It's been an awesome one week and i make friends with my group mate and some other people from different countries
Ah not forgetting to mention that i participate in the science research competition, and i was lucky enough to get the fourth place!yay! *(the winner from malaysia has a very interesting research about dental pulp stem cell from deciduous teeth which could be differentiated into nerve cells!)
Anyway, look forward for the next APDSA in penang, malaysia (emi!you better be there!)

The One With The Holiday

sorry for those people who left message in my tagboard, yes i have been uber busy these past few weeks, thanks to the ongoing exam that I had.
okay where to start
maybe last month, we had perio exam (1), on ly to be told later during the exam that we had another perio exam coming next week.
And then, since we were studying about diseasesS (the lecturers were from the faculty of medicine, and they have been giving a series of lectures about neurology, and stuff), we had more exams coming.
After perio (2), i had to study for internal medicine as the exam would be held a week after that
then neurology (2 weeks after that). Oh didn't i tell you for this neurology lecturer, he was supposedly very famous and was the doctor of many important people (political figures, artists, etc), he was so busy that sometimes he didn't come for lecture although we've been waiting for him for hours. ALso, please do not fail his test, otherwise it would be damn difficult to ask for another test (did i mention that he was so busy) and the test would be an ORAL examination test.HAHA. (apparently last time my boyfriend failed his test - because he did not cheat while the rest cheated- and he said it was so difficult to ask for another exam)
ANd yesterday was dermatology test.

The tests were okay, and now at least i had some time to spend my holiday peacefully,..

more exam coming, more research coming.
Argh

The One With The Line

"more often i was trying to convey a message to them; be yourself and never be afraid or bothered by what people ever think of ü to be. as much as possible, at least with my friends i try to be what i have always wanted be be in all aspects of my life - my ideal life. so often we feel oppressed by what people think about us, and how our colleagues think about us and how will that affect our performance and ranking that we slowly lose sight of our true self."

i bumped into those words in a blog, and i thought that it was really true.

1:10 PM; OOPS, I spoke again Y

The One With Jambaksos
Last weekend i went to this village for social work. It's a 3 days 2nights events in a city outside jkt. Hmm..basically every year this event is organised by different batch. And this year it was my batch's turn. The main event is simple - giving info to these ppl abt teeth / nutrition, dental treatment, makrab (malam keakraban), and outbond.
But seriously, i think this event is just...plain.
I just don't feel the spirit of organising it.

And when the rest of the people have thinks to do during d day, somehow i wasn't allocated to any of the jobs. So i just wandered ard with a friend who was in documentation section. But i learn how to use moviemaker!!! it's taking quite a long time and my friend and i had to skip some parts of the makrab (and dinner too) just to get the things done.

Oh did i mention that we have to stay in the locals' houses. And my house is empty, since it is newly built, and apparently the person who owns the house is super duper rich. There are 70, let me repeat, 70 people in my houses but there are only 2 bathroom.
yes you can imagine the rest: the queue for bathroom, or even the number of people who couldn't be bothered to shower anymore

the outbond was okay too. the route was so bloody long and i was posted to post 5, which was the last post. SO i had to wait there for about one hour for the first group to appear. And the senior was so sucky and think that they are so exclusive that they refused to join the outbond thingy. And some other unpleasant words mouthed by them. Huh.

Hmm i think that's all abt this post. The bottom line is that it is just another boring activity in this boring uni.
(oh i signed up for the committe thingy for APDSA this august in surabaya...yeps look forward for it=) )

The One With Numerology

Yesterday i was studying my ltm about perio, when i saw my handphone : 22.22 (the clock)
I said, this was weird. I mean, it was seldom for me to come across such nice number. So i thought, this must be a conincidence.

I continued reading until 1pm, after which i decided to sleep, only to find out that my biological clock has been set up in such a way that i would only go to sleep at a bloody 4 am in the morning (and i had to wake up at 6!!!1...grrrrrrr......)

While tossing and turning on my bed, i glanced at my handphone, and this number appears: 2.22
Wah.....how come coincidence happened twice!!i would ask my friends later about this phenomena!

And so i started my day. What a super hectic day.
Woke up early, feeling very sleepy. Need some time to collect all my soul before getting up (read: ngumpulin nyawa)
Discussion was ok. it ended at 1, and i quite understood what happened in the discussion.
Then i was supposed to go for kuksa meeting at 12, which of course i did not go since the thing ended at 1.
And my coordinator has been bugging me to come for another meeting at 1 about sponsorship (she was afraid i would escape the meeting..muahahhaha)..btw we got all the money required!yay!
Bla bla bla and it was 3 pm, and i had to go back alone, since the rest went home already..

and i had so many to do list for today:
calling the company, asking when i should come to pass the letter
arrange transportation with the transportation committee
ask dis to send the symbol of the letter
wrap my books
and it's not easy, you know. I kept getting different kinds of instruction from my coordinator..and i still dunno whether tomorrow i will pass the letter or not..haiz..

OH DID I MENTION THAT when i came out from the bus stop, it rained HEAVILY. So my maid and I, with our motorcycles, kena RAIN VERY HEAVILY larrrrr.......arghhhhhhhhhhhh...like wet inside out. wew..and all my papers and everything i was actually chilled throughout the journey home. Yah. Cold and sleepy. Luckily i had my lunch earlier so it did not end up cold and sleepy and hungry

and i want to thank everybody who gave me t-shirts today!!!yay!thx for the birthday present guys!

oh, and this is the information i found out in the web:
The 22 almost always deals with the productive part of your life; your job, your responsibilities, your creativity.
You are either ignoring opportunities, or you are afraid of the potential results - even if they are promising (or precisely because they are promising). You are quite possibly at a stage in your life when the door is open to a promised land. Very scary. Can you handle it?
The great Russian master Gurdjev, talks about "extra effort." This is the secret to success on all levels of life; material, spiritual, emotional. In a nutshell, the explanation is this. People who do not put forth effort end up losing every opportunity and every chance of real happiness. They are the losers among us. Poor, unhappy, and full of self-pity. Petty crime, jealousy, anger, cynicism, lost love, and blaming every one but themselves, is a loser's daily experience.
Those of us who understand the need for effort and live up to that, do fine. Perhaps not rich, perhaps not involved in the perfect relationship, perhaps not anywhere near as successful as we think we deserve to be, we nonetheless muddle on in relative peace and contentment. We have our friends, we have a job, we have opportunities.
Than there are those who have it in their nature to apply extra effort to everything they do. They don't just do their jobs. They do it better than is required. They apply themselves completely to everything they do. They are perfectionists. They demand the most of themselves. And not just in their jobs. Their spiritual experiences also reflect this. They don't accept anything because it is easy, or convenient, or expected, or comfortable. They search and sacrifice. They question, and they put everything on the line for just one more little bit of understanding. They risk friendships and romance in the search for knowledge. On the emotional plane, they are hard and unforgiving to themselves, but compassionate and generous to others. They don't make excuses or try to shift the blame.
And, lo and behold, there is balance in all things; they reach a happiness and contentment, an inner peace and visible spiritual strength that is recognized and admired by many. They win. They always reap their rewards.
This is Gurdjev's lesson: Effort is always rewarded exponentially.
If the 22 is found prominent within a number pattern that just keeps popping up in your life, it means you have it in you to become a person for whom the path of extra effort is the natural path. You just need to shift gears.

Believe it or not, it was so TRUE!

11:52 PM; OOPS, I spoke again Y

YES WE CAN

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no
matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the
power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will
only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been
asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against
offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been
anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible
odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't
try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a
simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

Yes we can.

The ONe With Supernatural

I was watching supernatural and realised that those guys have a good sense of humour. MUahaha. I mean some of the lines are pretty funny...

This is from the ROOSEVELT ASYLUM

(background: gavin was kissing a girl, whom he thought was his girlfriend. It turned out that the girl is an old lady ghost, whose face was pretty messed-up. So when Sam asked him about what the ghost did to him, he answered)

Gavin: She kissed me.

Sam: Erm, but she didn't hurt you physically?

Gavin: Dude, she kissed me! I'm scarred for life!

MUahahahaha... I love these people!

The One With Golden Compass

I have finished reading Golden Compass. Yeps, the whole three books: The Northern Light, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass.

The first book is nice, but i sorta lost interest on the second and third book (maybe because i read it in my laptop, it is such a pain for the eye)
And the third book makes me confused..like what is the role of dr malone as the serpent?!!! and then the god just get imprisoned by one of the angel?!what is that supposed to mean...sigh...

The One With A Day With Alice

You know what, yesterday i went out to TA with alice, and I DROVE the car.
It's been quite an enriching experience, you know, putting the life of your friend in jeopardy, but thankfully everything went Okay. Except for that tiny part of parking (A LOT, maybe)
Thanks to Alice who commented honestly that she had a pleasant journey throughout (or maybe that is a white lie?!- daripada diturunin di jalan, terus disuruh jalan ke TA), except for the parking part of course. My car totally went in the wrong direction, and if you see my car amongst other cars, people can surely comment "what a terrible driver"
This whole journey has brought alice to realise how she must appreciate her driver, BAry, who drove much much better than me. muahahaa..

Enough about the driving. TA outing was fun! We ate that penang thingy nearby the skyrink and gosh i was so happy to see so many singapore food there! i mean carrot cake in Indonesia?!!!where else can i find those things. And milk tea is also there!yay! two thumbs up for the restaurant to offer such food in this boring country.
Ehm. We spent the whole evening going in and out of swimsuit stores, until we finally found one in metro department store. Ah. Not forgetting to mention planet sport who does not have the spirit of selling swimsuit. I mean, come one, i can't even see the racks of swimsuit from outside?!!
Alice and I went from one store to another, trying this and that clothes (the weird weird one) and she persuaded me to buy this top (which i won't really wear, but still buy it anyway...)

Looking forward for the next outing with Alice!
