Today I am going to show you how 'grateful' we are to speak Indonesian, in front of Malaysians... haha. Malay has less vocabs than Bahasa, so they use weird existing entry to define a word, and that means they have lots of words which have several definition. Most of them sound just hilarious to us Indonesian..
Henceforward, I think I can't write in all-English for this blog.

You guys are greatt!!
Yeah, two golds for our class today for newsreading in Indonesian and another for the table tennis match.
The gold medal of the newsreading contest has been won over by two of our class distinctive talents, Johan and Tiffany. Johan, a smart guy who got his nerve at not only academic performance, but also literatural skill. On the other hand, Tiff, or jiso (as I usually called her), has been born with a brilliant brain, as her talent shines not only now when she brought the gold with Johan to our class, but also when she was representing our school to National Science Olympiad in Computer Department last year. Bravo and Brava!! Anyway, another two girls of our class won over a bronze in the same field, CL and Fransiska. Again, congratulations!!
Yet another star in our class, Budiman, succeeded in beating his final opponent with total victory in the final round of table tennis match, scoring 3-1. Well, what can we say? He has trained unceasingly over years and that has led him to the perfection of the skill, more than the others. Besides, he himself is the chairman of our school table tennis club. Hoho...
Ultimately for today, 2 GOLDS!!
I am proud of you all..

Funny trivias - It is really out of our Observation!!

- Dolphins sleep with one eye opened… (swt)
- In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man onthe moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first, and only, home run
- In Cleveland, Ohio it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license

Admitted!!!
Finally all my perseverance and assiduous work have been paid off!!! I am already admitted to the conservatory of my dream, the Yong Siew Toh of NUS. Ohh.... Halleluiah..!!!
Btw, It's been long since last time I put my word here. I have been busy all this time, but I think i can post my upcoming blogs more frequently from now on.
Since tomorrow is the lovers day, I wish you all a happy Valentine day.... Love is like an eternal flame, never flicks once it is lit..
And finally, thank you all for your unceasing supports to me. Without your supports, I don't have enough courage and strength to go (train, indeed...) this far. I promise you all, friends, I won't let all your supports become useless..

sorry... long time no see...
It's been a long and tiring time I had, ensnaring me unable to quench my thirst to write a word here... I practised piano for a hell of time, although I also played a lot, particularly DotA.. swt..
Since I passed a lot of 'red-days', Christmas and New Year's Eve without a word in this forum, I beg now for all of your forgiveness, and I would like to greet you all: "Happy New Year 2009!! Wish you all da' best!!"
Now, indeed, I have found a new hobby.. hehe. I learn a new language, weird one. haha
It's the elvish Quenya.... swt
so, bye for now..
Namárië
