Finally Finally Finally

ENGLISH

Finally it's Thursday!! The last day of my exhausting school-days. Yesterday i had a chemistry and religion exams plus a chemistry assignment. Two days ago i had a physic exam plus a physic assignment. Today I had a biology, math, and English exams!! Some of those actually should have been done last week but because last week i went to Bandung, so i had to finish them these days and that's pretty frustating. I was not maximum yesterday when i did my chemistry exam, i don't know why but i just couldn't concentrate well, so i think i made a small mistake... . But today, i'm back. I was in my maximum condition and i think i did those exams well (actually the English test was a speaking test, and i got 9). I went back home and finally i could enjoy my afternoon time by taking a nap freely. At 4.30 PM i went to my English Course until 6.00 PM then went home. At home i didn't study at all (i really want to enjoy this time..), i just played a PC game and watched tv...

Akhirnya ini Kamis!! Hari terakhir dari hari-hari sekolah yang melelahkan. Kemarin aku ulangan kimia plus pendidikan religiositas ditambah tugas kimia. Kemarin lusa aku ulangan fisika sama ada tugas fisika. Tadi aku ulangan biologi, matematika, sama bahasa inggris. Beberapa diantaranya sebenere haruse dah dilakuin minggu lalu, tapi gara2 minggu lalu aku pergi ke Bandung, jadi mau nggak mau aku mesti nyelesain hari-hari terakhir ini dan itu lumayan bikin frustasi juga. Aku nggak maksimal kemarin waktu ngerjain soal kimia. Aku nggak tau napa cuma aku nggak bisa konsentrasi dengan penuh, jadi kayake aku bikin sedikit kesalahan... . Tapi hari ini aku dah kembali. Aku ada di keadaan maksimal dan kayake sih aku ngerjain ulangannya lumayan juga (sebenere ulangan Inggrisnya tuh speaking, dan aku dapet 9). Aku pulang ke rumah dan akhirnya aku bisa menikmati waktu siangku dengan istirahat siang dengan bebas. Jam 16.30 aku pergi ke les-lesan Inggris ku sampe jam 18.00 Di rumah aku nggak belajar sama sekali (aku emang mo menikmati hari ini), aku cuma main komputer sama nonton tv... .

My Trip To Bandung

Note : I don’t write the Indonesian version for this message because it is very long… .

Turangga Express arrived at Jogjakarta Station at 12.05 AM then i boarded into it and sat on the second vehicle. I couldn’t sleep well in it (it was a rough journey), and after I finally fell asleep (at about 4 AM), some women who sat 2 or 3 rows in front of me started to talk and made noisy noise so I couldn’t sleep at all!! The train was not on time. It should have arrived at 6.45 AM but it arrived at 8.05 AM. After arriving there, we were picked up then we went to our hotel. We just took a rest on the first day and studied for the competition the next day.

On Wednesday we got up at 6.30 AM then at 7.30 we went to Unpar (Parahyangan University). After the opening ceremony, the competition started. On the first round we had to do 50 questions, and the scoring is: 4 for a correct answer, 0 for an empty, and -1 for a wrong answer. I could make 18 questions (that I was sure that they were correct) and I regretted because I didn’t brave enough to take a risk. Actually I had 4 others questions that I was not sure (but because it was a multiple choice test so I could predict which one was the correct answer). Because of that I failed (I asked a boy who sat next to me how many questions he could do and he answered 18 (same with me), but he passed and I failed, so it means that if I had answer one more question correctly, I would have passed to the semi-final round, and I regret so much). Actually I was not in my maximum condition at that time. If I were, I could do about 30 – 35 questions. However, the good thing that I could take because I failed was I didn’t have to study anymore, so I could spend my time there just like in a holiday…. . Lol.

On Thursday I got up at 8 AM (I didn’t have to go to Unpar anymore….). We went to Rumah Mode and I bought a t-shirt. Then we went to Cihampelas until 3 PM. Then we went back to the hotel and at 4 PM we went to CiWalk and Bandung Supermall (BSM).

On Friday we got up at 8 AM then we went to Tangkuban Perahu. We arrived there at 9.45 AM and we enjoyed the scenery until 10 AM. Because we still had time so we went to Ciater until 11.30. After that we had lunch at Lembang. At 16.00 we went to the railway station (our train (Turangga Express) departed at 18.30) and on the way to the station there was an accident. A car exploded!!! Fortunately the driver was okay and not injured. Our train departed on time at 18.30 and arrived in Jogja at 03.00 AM.

Monday

ENGLISH

At school today nothing special happened. I just had 2 exams that i was supposed to do them last week but because last week i joined a chemistry competition, so i didn't do those 2 exames last week and i had to do them today. Because of that, i went back home at 14.30. Then at home i took a nap until 18.00 (i was so exhausted). At 18.00 i had dinner then i did my assignments and prepared my bag for 5 days 'trip' because i am going to Bandung tonight at 23.37 by train. I'm going to Bandung because next Wednesday i have to join a math competition there. I'm going there with my friends and one teacher by executive class Turangga Express (that's unpredictable because i supposed that we were going to Bandung by car or by business class train). The whole story about my trip to Bandung will be posted this weekend, so don't miss it!

Di sekolah tadi nggak ada sesuatu yang spesial terjadi. Aku tadi ada 2 ulangan yang harusnya aku kerjain minggu lalu tapi gara2 minggu lalu aku ikutan lomba kimia, jadi aku nggak ngerjain 2 ulangan itu minggu lalu dan aku ngerjainnya hari ini. Jadi, akhirnya aku pulang jam 14.30 siang. Habis itu aku istirahat siang sampe jam 18.00 (aku capek banget). Jam 18.00 aku makan malem trus ngerjain tugasku dan nyiapin tas untuk 5 hari 'kepergian' soale aku nanti malem pergi ke Bandung jam 23.37 naik kereta soale besok Rabu aku mesti ikutan lomba matematika disana. Aku pergi ke sana sama temenku dan guruku naik kereta eksekutif Turangga (itu nggak disangka-sangka soale aku ngira kalo ke Bandungnya bakalan naik mobil ato kereta kelas bisnis). Cerita lengkapnya tentang perjalananku nanti aku ceritain akhir minggu, jadi jangan sampe kelewatan!

Exhausting Thursday

ENGLISH

My team passed the semi-final last Tuesday and it means that today we were on the final round. There were 3 teams on the final round. We had to be ready there at 8 AM and the final began at 9 AM. There were 4 rounds in the final. On the first round, we had to do 8 questions, and there was no point reduction if we were wrong. On the second round we had to do 20 questions and we had to be as fast as we could to answer those questions, but if we made a mistake, we would lose 5 points. On the third round, we had to describe 9 words to an English Native Speaker from Australia in English (my team got a perfect score here :D) and he should guess those words. But the last round was absolutely unfair. We had to answer 3 questions about experiments (so there were 9 questions) and my team got the hardest and the most difficult questions to answer! (if i had gotten the opponents' teams questions, i'm pretty sure that i would have answered them perfectly). So we lost on the last round with a close score. (until the third round my team was leading). However, we lost but we still get a thropy. Then actually we planned to go back home, but on the way home, my friend was caught by the police (because on the traffic-light, when the light had already turned red he just pushed the gas and he 'ran away', but unfortunately the police saw him). So, we decided to go back to school and continued the lessons until 13.30. At 13.30 i went back home and took a nap until 16.00 then i went to my English Course. Today the course was very very boring. At 18.00 i went back home and did my assignment for tomorrow then studied physic. At 20.00 i watched tv until 22.00.

Timku menang di babak semi-final kemarin, jadi hari ini kami musti maju di babak final. Ada 3 team di babak final ini. Kami mesti dah siap jam 8 pagi trus lomba dimulai jam 9 pagi. Ternyata ada 4 babak di final ini. Di babak pertama kita mesti ngerjain 8 soal dan nggak ada pengurangan nilai kalo jawaban kita salah. Trus di babak kedua kita mesti ngejawab 20 soal trus ngerjainnya mesti secepat mungkin untuk ngerjain soal, tapi kalo salah jawab, ada pengurangan skor sebanyak 5 poin. Di babak ketiga, kami mesti mendiskripsikan sebuah kata kepada seorang native speaker bahasa inggris dari Australia dan dia harus menebak kata-kata itu ( di babak ini timku dapet nilai sempurna :D). Tapi babak keempat tuh nggak adil. Kita mesti ngerjain 3 soal tentang percobaan (jadi ada 9 soal) dan ternyata timku dapet soal yang paling susah dan paling berat! (kalo aku dapet soal tim lawanku, aku yakin aku udah njawab dengan sempurna). Jadi kesimpulannya kami kalah di babak terakhir dengan skor tipis. (sampe babak ketiga timku sebenere dah mimpin). Tapi, biarpun kalah kami tetep dapet piala. Trus sebenernya kami berencana buat langsung pulang ke rumah. Tapi dalam perjalanan, temenku ketangkep polisi (soalnya pas lampu merah dia nyelonong, malangnya polisi ngelihat dia). Jadi kami mutusin buat balik ke sekolah dan harus ikut pelajaran sampe selesai jam 13.30. Jam 13.30 aku pulang ke rumah trus istirahat siang sampe jam 16.00. Habis itu aku pergi ke les2an Inggris, hari ini pelajarannya mbosenin banget. Jam 18.00 aku balik ke rumah trus ngerjain tugas sama belajar buat ulangan besok. Trus jam 20.00 sampe jam 22.00 aku nonton tv.

Monday...

ENGLISH

Today i had a chemistry competition at UPN Yogyakarta. I left my school at 7.50 AM. Then we had to reregister there and prepared for the competition. At 9.00, the competition started. We had to do 40 multiple choice questions in 2 hours. It was weird, we had to do math, chemistry, physics, and english!! (at first we also had to do biology but then they said that we didn't have to do it). Math, physics, and chemistry are usual for this kind of competition, but Biology and English? That's so weird.. . Then after the time was up, we had a break. At 12.00 they announced the top 9 to go to the semi-final. Fortunately, my team goes to the semi final!! After the announcement time, we went back to school and went back home at 13.30. After that i took a nap and at 16.30 i went to the gym until 18.00. At night i watched tv, and studied for tomorrow...

Hari ini aku ikut lomba kimia di UPN Yogyakarta. Aku berangkat dari sekolah jam 7.50 pagi. Habis itu kami musti daftar ulang disana trus siap-siap buat lomba. Jam 9.00 pagi, lombanya dimulai, kami mesti ngerjai 40 soal pilihan ganda dalam 2 jam. Aneh banget, kami mesti ngerjain matematika, fisika, kimia, dan bahasa inggris!! (pertamane juga suru ngerjain biologi, tapi katanya kita nggak usah nerjain). Matematika, fisika, sama kimia biasa untuk lomba kayak gini, tapi biologi sama bahasa inggris? Aneh banget. Habis selesai ngerjain itu, kami istirahat sebentar. Trus jam 12.00 siang mereka mengumumkan 9 team terbaik yang masuk ke semi-final. Untungnya, teamku masik ke semi-final!!! Habis pengumuman, kami balik ke sekolah, trus pulang ke rumah jam 13.30. Habis itu aku istirahat siang, trus jam 16.30 pergi ke gym sampe jam 18.00. Malamnya aku nonton tv sama belajar buat besok...

It's Wednesday 7th September!!!

ENGLISH

It's 7th September. It means that now i'm turning from 16 to 17 (in the other words, it's my birthday!! ). Well, today at school there was a prensentation from euromanagement about studying in Germany. I was quite interested (because the fee is zero), but the main problem is language, all lectures will be spoken in German (i can't speak German except Danke Schoen ). Then, after filling the form i went back home and took a nap until 18.00. After that i studied and played a PC Games.

INDONESIAN

Hari ini 7 September. Artinya, sekarang aku berganti dari 16 ke 17 (dengan kata lain, ini adalah hari ulang tahunku!! ). Hari ini di sekolah ada presentasi dari euromanagement tentang sekolah di Jerman. Aku sebenere lumayan tertarik (soale biayanya nol), tapi masalahnya adalah bahasa, semua mata kuliah akan pake bahasa Jerman sebagai bahasa pengantarnya (aku nggak isa bahasa Jerman kecuali Danke Schoen ). Trus, habis ngisi formulirnya aku balik ke rumah trus istirahat sampe jam 18.00. Habis gitu aku belajar sama main game komputer

Hard Monday

ENGLISH

I don't know why at school this morning i couldn't concentrate well especially on the first four hours. I made some silly mistakes (but they were not on the exam, just on the excercise..., but sometimes it also bothers me). Probably that happened because of the holiday. I didn't study at all during the holiday and i think it caused that problem. Luckily, i could concentrate quite well on the biology exam today about genetic. It was 8 essay questions but i could finish it on 35 minutes (exclude time to check after finishing it). I went back home at 13.30 then took a nap. At 16.30 i went to the gym until 18.00 PM. Then i studied math about ellipse for the examination tomorrow, and at 20.00 i watched tv. After that i surfed the internet...

INDONESIAN

Aku nggak tau napa di sekolah pagi ini aku nggak bisa konsentrasi dengan baik terutama di 4 jam pertama. AKu membuat beberapa kesalahan koncal (tapi nggak di ulangan sih, cuma di latihan..., tapi kadang2 itu mengganggu juga). Mungkin hal itu terjadi gara2 liburan kemarin. Aku nggak belajar sama sekali selama liburan dan aku kira itu nyebabin masalah. Untungnya, aku bisa konsentrasi lumayan baik pas ulangan biologi hari ini tentang genetika. Ada 8 soal uraian dan aku bisa ngerjain dalam 35 menit (nggak termasuk waktu untuk ngecek ulang habis selesai). Aku pulang sekolah jam 13.30 trus istirahat siang. Trus jam 16.30 aku pergi ke gym sampe jam 18.00. Habis itu aku belajar matematika tentang ellips buat ulangan besok, jam 20.00 aku nonton tv. Habis itu aku main internet...

Tiring Saturday

ENGLISH

Today is my second day of this short holiday. I slept at 5 AM in the morning (because i browsed internet) and got up at 9 AM because my friend rang me. Then after that i did my school assignment until noon. After that i played a PC game until 14.00 PM. I was so tired (i slept only 4 hours that morning and it bothered me a lot), so i took a nap at 14.00 PM .At 16.oo PM i was woken up to go to the gym. I went to the gym at 16.30 PM and finished at 18.00 PM. Then i went back home, continued doing my assignment. Then at 20.30 PM i went playing bowling. It was so crowded (it always happens on Saturday Night). I played well today, and at 12.30 AM, we went back home. I was so sleepy, so at 1 AM i went to bed.

INDONESIAN

Trus habis itu aku ngerjain tugas sekolah sampe siang. Habis itu main game komputer sampe jam 2 siang.

It's Thursday!! Yaay...

ENGLISH

At school we had a biology exam today. It was completely awful. We had to do 8 essay questions just in 40 minutes!! That's so cruel. I could answer all of them (i mean i finished doing it, but i almost didn't make it, my handwriting surely was really terrible because i wrote in a hurry). Then afterschool i was not sleepy, so i played a computer game until 16.00 then i went to my English Course. After that i went back home and browsed internet, then i watched tv till midnight. Finally, it's Thursday which means that tomorrow and Saturday i will be on holiday!!! That's great!!!

INDONESIAN

Di sekolah hari ini ada ulangan biologi. Tadi tuh nyebelin banget ulangannya. Kita tuh harus ngerjain 8 soal uraian hanya dalam 40 menit!! Kejam banget. Emang sih aku bisa ngerjain semuanya (maksudnya selesai gitu, tapi tadi aku nyaris nggak selesai, tulisanku bener-bener jelek banget gara2 keburu-buru ngerjainnya). Trus habis pulang sekolah aku nggak ngantuk, jadi aku main game komputer sampe jam 4 sore. Trus aku pergi ke les2an Inggris. Habis aku pulang aku main internet sama nonton tv sampe tengah malem. Akhirnya, ini Kamis. Maksudnya besok sama Sabtu aku libur!! Asik....
