Poem by Nana and Rivi

The Grey traps the city with me inside
While the breeze on the island keeps playing around
Smoke comes in when the sun is trying to hide
While the light shines with a sneaky sound

While the breeze on the island keeps playing around
The palm trees flow with it
While the light shines with a sneaky sound
The birds chirp with a great hit

The palm trees flow with it
And the sand, the waves collide
The birds chirp with a great hit
And the dream of the sunset dies...

Grade 10?? Seriously? I'm turning old!

OMG! I'm frikin' grade 10. When did I get to this place?? It felt like yesterday that I just entered Junior high school. grade 7. Now I'm grade 10.
But I feel quite cool that I'm now a year 10, to be honest. I mean, I always look up to people who are a higher grade than me, and I say to myself that they are soo cool. And now people who are quite lower grade than me might think I'm cool.... not most likely. I scare them out, I mean, one time I was saying hi to the year 7's and they technically run away... well some of them. But some of them, they just smile and didn't say hi back. How rude, but at least I got a smile :)
Hahaha, gotta do my business homework. You know I moved to business? Yes, I'm not doing chemistry anymore. I feel free!!!

Right now I have to find why, for employers, customer may be lost to other firms as orders are not delivered. I kinda don't know what the means, but I report about it. Due on Wednesday, UGHHH!!

Music is in my heart, always..

Music is the answer and always is..
Without music, we couldn't even talk or even take a walk...
because talking is music, and taking a step is music...
Like, have you ever heard the song "One step at a time" by Jordin Sparks?
The intro of the song is the sound of her walking. Music
Talking is like rapping... Rapping is like your talking verrry fast with a deep meaningful thoughts... poems, as I  may say it
Music is when the birds chirp outside your house, or when the dog barks or even when the cows moo...
That's music.
Your own heartbeat is music, like the techno songs you may hear in night clubs. I haven't been in night clubs before but I've seen in movies that they play techno "oonching2x" songs.
Music may have the answer to your test paper or maybe a solution to your relationship problems.

Love songs for example, they are songs when you fall in love or you're being in love. Maybe your answer is love. Or probably when you get angry, maybe a rock song can relate to how you are feeling.

There's tons of songs and music that you can relate to your life and problems and situations that you're in.
Did you notice that in movies they play music for the background. Imagine an action without knives sound effects... awkkward.....

Anyways, you may not agree with me, but this is what I think music is about.
:P

book worm...

This week I've listed books that I have to read throught out the holiday.
First book I read was "The second short life of Bree Tanner" by Stephanie Meyer, you may have heard about her. Well duh, she is the author of the twilight saga.
*random comment: I thought the Eclipse movie was great!

Then I red "Camilla" by Madeliene L'Engle. It is now one of my favourite books because it's about girl around my age, 15, finding her true love with all these different obstacles. This is book it like a life learning lesson.. I think it's great :)

Now, I'm reading "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. You guys may heard about it...
It was set where they still have to wear really hug dresses and woman cannot vote or smoke yet..

It's really a romantic story, which I've been told. But I didn't know it was a romantic before I picked the book out. 

I'm borrowing all these books from my cousin Nana, who is now currently in Europe. Soo yeahh....

:)
Live long and prosper!

How to get over boredom by Yohanna Najoan

Well, my way of getting out of boredom is this:
1. Wake up late and when you wake up, stay on your bed for at least 10 minutes.
2. Eat a lot Junk food.
3. Check your facebook page daily, if you have one.
4. Listen to your favourite jam, and start dancing!
5. Go to the Arcade!
6. Go to the cinema!
7. Buy movies!
8. Make a blog!

Soo yeah, I made this post because I'm super bored!
:)

Photography :)

Sunday, 13th of June, I took some photos when my family and I were out.
It's not that bad, to be honest : )

Grade 10, here I come!

I got my report today and I passed grade 9.
When the head of CIE, Mr.James, told me that I'm going to be in grade 10. I was jumping for joy (inside my head).
I was soo Happy and relieved!
When I went out of the office, I was kinda dancing, then I forgot that I was surrounded with people, then I stopped.

But YES! I passed grade 9!
I feel quite happy for myself!
:)

Ubud, Babi Guling!

Tuesday, 8th of June, me and a couple of my friends went to ubud and spent the whole day there.
For lunch we are Babi guling which is pig. Or should I say pork.
It's really yummy, and it was the first time I've tried Babi Guling ( pork).
I thought it was really tasty, the skin was kinda hard but I deal with it.
Here are some pictures that I took with my friend camera, Amika.

Birthday Party

On June the 5th 2010, I celebrated my 15th Birthday.
It was soo much, I saw everyone had a good time, and also me.
It's was such a memorable day, because it's the first time I celebrated my B'day at Bali.
We went and watch Prince of Persia. Thanks to my friend Elgine, he payed for my friends and I.
Then after that, we went to the Restaurant and had dinner.
The dinner was little bit crazy, funny and fun!

Exams are over!

Yes, this is the moment I've been waiting for the whole entire week.
That moment where I don't have to study my ass off.
That moment where I don't have to stay up late to study for the next exam.
That moment where I leave off the heavy load on the back of my shoulders.
That moment of freedom.

I think I'm going to pass Year9.
Wait, I am going to pass year 9.
I studied really hard, I tried my best, I am going to pass Year 9.
I just have to wait and see what my report looks like.
Last semester I didn't pass maths and Chemistry.

Ohhh geez... Chem

Why did I take chem? I wish I could replay and take business.
Business seems so easy, but I hate business.
I hate dealing with money, I hate making business. I suck at it.
But with Chemistry, I try my best at it, I do experiments which is soo much fun.
But the part I hate about chemistry is memorising a whole big deal of information.
My brain can literally blow up into tiny, mini pieces.
But it can't, sooo yeah....

Ohmg!
My b'day is this Saturday, going to post up photos if I can.

Mie gooreng!

Examinations, Onions?

Examinations are coming up and I just can't wait to get it over and done with, because after the Examinations is my b'day!

Onions?
During art class, we had to draw Onions or Garlic. I chose Onions, and I thought it was going to make me cry, but it didn't. Few...

But I was I did tho, because my drawing turned out soo bad I just want to ruin. Crying is the best idea to ruin my crappy artwork.

Now I have to print out photo's of Onions and Garlic, and table cloth?

Ohwell, at least I get some points for my Art exam.

-.-

Jakarta photos

One week holiday

Right now I'm in jakarta, where all my family members live.
I'm here for a week, I'll be back in Bali on Sunday.
Anyways, I know I haven't been posting up "posts" in the last few days, but I had my reasons.
I've been busy with school work, family problems and so on.
But mostly school work.
Exams are coming up and I just can't wait to get it over and done with.

While I'm in Jakarta, I bought my school books to study.
I have really smart cousins here, so I was hoping they can help me out, especially with math.
I suck at math and chemistry.

Anyways, I wasn't hoping for any fun on this holiday, cause as I told you earlier, we have family problems. Sooo yeahh...

But at least I have some time with my family members. I haven't talk to them since...

Sorry, I don't have any pictures for this post, because I'm just lazy to upload them, maybe on the next post.

Live long and prosper. : )

No school tomorrow, Yes!

Yes, no school tomorrow, I swear, it's going to be a great day.
My friends and I are thinking to hang out at the mall, but I don't know if my mum agrees.
At least I will give it a try.
It was a quite good monday, I mean some teachers were absent, I certainly felt happy for that.
I talked to my friends a lot, which was quite funny, and had a test, quite easy.

And now, all I need to do is study.
Exams are coming up in a month, I always thought that one month is a long time away, but if it's not.
Like, you waste your time hangin' out and do un-important things, then when you heard that Exams are coming in the next week, you start panicking.
That's what happened to me before, but now, I think I can manage.
No pictures added today, but maybe tomorrow.

I met Farah Quinn

OMG, I met Farah Quinn.
If you don't know her, I will tell you.
She's like this Famous cook at Trans Tv every saturday morning.

I'm a fan of her, but I think she's pretty cool.
She's really tall, and really tan.
OMG! I just came to the venue, ate dinner there, took a foto with her then left.
Hahah, I'm soo mean. But ohwell, she was about to leave too.

Go Green Club.

Okay, I care about the Earth, alot. Starting from yesterday.
I was a "guest" for this go green club from school, and we went to Ubud and celebrated Earth Day.
It was alot of fun, and kind of boring.
We posted up Art work, that I helped a bit, and walked around the area, saw some live music and met some friends, uncles and aunties that I know.
Ate some pizza, and brownies and very expensive drinks.
But it was worth it, because it SUPER hot, and I was getting a huge head ache.
Also, on this same day, I got my Mid-semester report. Hahaha, it was quite good and quite bad.
But it was better than the previous mid-semester report.
My mum came with me, it was kinda weird with her. But if it's with my dad, I think it would be fine.

But my mum was like " you have practice the questions from the previous maths test".
And also " Read the question carefully, then undertand it".

I was just like, nodding my head, and kept on replying "yea,yes, I know".
Luckily the teachers didn't say anything about me, but maybe just once, but I think I know why.

One of the teachers said I'm weak in Chemistry.
I think I know that.....

Anyways, See yah!

Stressed Out!

OMG, school can be soo stressful!
A kid like I can have soo many things on her hands.
I have to study??
I have to make projects?
I mean, they all help me, to prepare my future, but how can it be so stressful?

Okay, I know how...
Maybe I go on the computer for no reason sometimes.
I get distracted pretty easily with the surroundings, or I'm just too lazy to do it.
Hehehehe, so I guess this post is pretty pointless.
Hhehehe

Basketball Dinner at Tekor.

Wednesday night, I had dinner with most of my Basketball mates and some of their family members and also our coach.
We had it in Tekor, Double-six, which is owned by our captain's parent.
Everyone looked like they had fun, I seriously did, well kindaa.
All that I was there for was the food. We had Pizza, Tacos, Nachos with salsa, Calamari, Bread with Garlic Spread, Sate Ayam (Chicken on a stick), salad and that's all I can remember.
I seriously enjoyed that calamari and the salad. I asked for more sauce for my salad, because I like Sauce, or should I say Mayo.
I LOVE MAYO! and cheese.Heheheh....
My friend Elodie gave me a ride there, which made it extra fun, cause we ate McDonald after school, and then saw Cute photo's of her and her family.
Hehehe, anyways...

Grr! I caught the flu!

The title didn't explain everything, I caught the flu and a sore throat.
Geez, I wish I didn't. But I think it would lead me to a good thing, maybe skipping school? Or, stay in bed all day long...
Aaaaaa.... Just what I need.
But the bad things about it is, not going out with your friends, be outside of the house, smell the fresh air and all of the other things that contains to be outside of the house.

So right now, I'm on the computer, finding things to do on the computer that include, Facebook, blogger and blackle.

Aaahhh....

Random title.

New post, here goes...
I just saw a pic of Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato Kissing!
I am sooo jealous of Demi because. I wish I was her. And also I hate her( well not really) because she took my man!
Anyways, enough of my jealousy of Demi. Oh, and btw I do like Demi's music.

I'm not posting a new post because of Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato, I'm posting because I'm bored, and sick of school.
There's nothing new in my school, or any gossip spreading (I'm not a gossiper btw), or any event that is happening.

Ooooo, NEWS! I just read the book called "Beastly" by Alex Finn. It's a good book.
And also the movie that is based on the book is coming out soon.
I just can't wait.

So yeah, this is a random post.
No photos needed, unless you want to see a photo of Joe and Demi Kissing????

Friday is a holiday.

Yes, all around the world. No school on Friday.
Well, for me and other kids.

I spent my Friday holiday with my family. We went to Jatiulwih, and had lunch there, which was good, and saw a beautiful scenery of rice fields aaaaand yeah.

After that, we head back to Denpasar and go to church.
At first, we went to Kuta, but then, when we saw the traffic and we went to renon.
Went to church at renon for Good friday.

I didn't really pay attention of what happened because first, the heat and second, there were a lot of people. They set up chairs and tents for people to sit outside,and also set up chairs where the parking lots are.
So we cannot park inside.

It wasn't the Friday I've planned.
But, you know, family first.

Serangan Island

This is the first time I visited Serangan Island and probably might be the last.
It was an education field trip from school, but I didn't feel educated.
We went to this aquarium, turtle conservation and this beach which there's this man who helps the corals and also sea weeds.
We also met some Japanese tourist and greet them.
I wanted to say "Anyong!", but then I re-thinked myself and said "That's Korean".

Hehe, some school field trip.

Saturday Medium-Madness

On saturday, couple of friends and I wanted to watch "Percy Jaskcon and the Lightning thief".
I've already red the book, and it's waaayy different from the movie.
WAY different.
It's all mix up...

But it was exciting watching it with my friends.
Before the movie started, we went around the mall, and also played some games at time zone, as you may see above.
I tried playing the game, but I TOTALLY fail.

But overall, I had a great time.

Books take me out from boredom.

I'm on this reading strike.
I've just red The Devouring, Percy Jackson and now, on my way reading this book called "the other side of the story".
The first 4 pages, I started laughing like crazy!

My really nice cousin lend us a stack of books.
I'll try to read them all, but one of them are like "Dating survival kit".
I mean, do I really need that right now?
A dating survival kit. Geezz, I'm not dating anyone.
And if I am, I still don't need a dating survival kit.
It's not like dating is like a thing your going end up dying.

Anyways, thanks anyways to my cousin. I really appreciate the books.

Exercise, let's get physical!

Hehehe, this is me.

This week, I didn't get any exercise, whatsoever. Except for P.E, but that doesn't count.
Basketball practices are gone, didn't go for a swim. Just sit in my room studying, going on the computer, listen to some songs and play my beautiful, old guitar.

I think studying makes me fatter, and smarter???

I don't know....
It's kind of Ironic when my title said Exercise, when I didn't get any exercise at all.
Oh well.

Maybe on Saturday I should go biking around Sanur.
Sanur is such a beautiful place. They rent bikes, there's cheap cafe's around and also some good beaches.
I just love the vibe Sanur sends me. Makes me feel like I'm in my own type heaven.
Ooooo and also Seminyak. I love Seminyak when it is in night time.
Night lights appear in every corner, Italian restaurants on the street and night, jazzy music.
Aaah! I want to go there.
Oh gosh, I'm going out of my topic.

New School, new environment.

I've always been around people who are funny, weird and gangstas.
Here, I'm around chemistry books, knowledge and serious thinkers.

I'm thankful of being at this new school, but it's different in New Zealand.
Well, DUH. Every school is not the same!

The point that I'm reaching is that, here, I'm becoming more of a serious thinker. But I still have the funniness in me. I'm gaining more knowledge here but in New Zealand, I've gained my attitude and personality. My bag is filled with chemistry books, but I will act gangsta, ( if it's truly necessary).

You see my point??
I will not change! But I think my body will....
Hehehe.....

Skype is how I keep my friends close.

I love skype, but I can also live without it.
I've always talk to my friend through skype, because she lives soooo far away for me. I can't get a plane ticket to see her, well I can. But it's just too expensive.
Anyways, above is a photo I took and edited while I was talking to my Best friend, Pretty.
Hope she don't mind putting this on my blogger, hehehe.

I also wanted my other friends, who doesn't live in the same island as me, to get skype.
Skpe might the only thing I can see them, face to face.

What should I do in the next 5 years???

I've been struggling with this question. I don't know what to do.... I have a lomo camera. I play basketball. I know how to play the guitar, and I'm in a band. I like to cook, especially eggs. I won a prize for photography. I really love listening to music. Maybe I should do something with all these skills I do. But I don't know any job that contains these things..... Hmm, I just have to keep on thinking till in 5 years times, I will somehow get whatever that job is.
oh, above is my bro. I edited this photo with picnik.com. : ))

Bored in Bali, let's edit photos.

This is one of the photos that I edited using Photobucket.
I'm really bored during these holidays.
I thought living in a new place would change my holiday status. But I was wrong.
I'm always bored in New zealand when it's holiday time.
Well here, it's pretty much the same thing.

My brothers friends are here right now, they are trying to play like their outer space or something.
I think I should practice my guitar now or edit my report for my chemistry project.

Sunday Afternoon.

Last Sunday afternoon. My family and I visited Bali beach hotel.
We gathered next to the beach with cold drinks standing on our table.
My mum was stuck to her camera, as usual. She took some pictures. Which one of them is above.
After we finished our drinks, we took a walk around the hotel. It's quite a huge hotel.
The hotel is the biggest and tallest in Bali.
My sister said it's haunted and she's scared.
Why should be sister be scared during Daytime?

Anyways, first and new post for my new blog.
Wohoo!
