First year!

Welcome back! I'd like to welcome my self as returning to share something to this blog again. It's (still) concerning about my story. And this time, *drum roll* I'd tell ya about the things that happened throughout the first year in my college life.

I was 18 years old when I first came up here. I never planned of being the student of Undip but I was destined to make Semarang become more important city than it was before. And yeah now it does. I barely know the people here, my friend that come in the same major was not many, only three of us. I had to mingle and made friends. So, what did I get? A lot! I found my friend and more than that, bestfriends {} 

I feel so match with them and there's no doubt that we're clinging each other wherever we go. Although we have different activities, we still have time to be together, at least just to share some hot news. We seems so happy but deep down inside we're hiding all the sadness. We're not perfect but we (still) try to find the perfect man :3

That's actually the basic thing that I need to survive in Semarang. Friend. I had already one from high school. She's Vira and she's majoring Civil Engineering

I'll never feel so safe without my friends around. Thank God they accept me for who I am. The college atmosphere is so much different with high school. At school, what we are gonna do was so limited by the strict rules and the teachers were so concerned about us. While in college, we're free to do, to act, to speak everything. Not so free sih, but it's really up to us whether we want to be good or bad cause we're living independently. 

The first semester was really the time to absorb so much information that I could get. And I learned to adapt with the new environment as fast as I could. I tell you, man. At that busy and labile period, that wasn't so good to start a new relationship. It'll be broke. Please, Nad. Stop sharing your sadness and failure again, that's a big NO NO. Olrait olrait, let's move on! :') That was my first term and I started to make plan about the things that I'm gonna do in the next term and the next year.

The second semester was approaching and I started to make my plan become real. 'Contributing in college organization'. And I did it. Until now, I still active in 2 organizations, BEM-FT and HMTI.

It's not easy to be involved in 2 different organizations. However, I did learn a lot of things. I learned how to interact with new people, how to mingle and adapt that fast, how to solve problem by using independent mind, how to always be well-prepared with the plan B, how to work under pressure but still think clearly, and so on. It really does develop me into someone better who can see things in different perspective. In BEM and HM, I also found my new family. We came from different batch but we learned together in a family way.

At last, how can't I be so grateful? I never feel misplace being here. I think Allah has a well-planed about me and that might be the best.

The Story of Us

She doesn't easily fall. She doesn't have spesific type about man either. She's smart at hiding her feeling. In the other hand, she's a bit fragile. She thinks that telling everybody about  what she feels inside isn't really needed. As she believes that no other person could feel the same as she suffers. Sometimes she doesn't need someone to give her advice but needs someone who can just lying down and listening for a while. 

Like Taylor Swift's song with the same title as this posting, "The story of us looks a lot  like a tragedy now". It does become a BAD tragedy. Also the huge pile of damage caused of it. "Meeting you is a fate. Becoming your friend is a choice. But falling into you is uncontrolable "

Chapter 1

When the fate made the two of them knew each other by texting. They started to ask about basic thing of college. Day by day~ And the talking became deeper and deeper even without they realized. Everything seemed fine. The communication really went smoothly. He could make her up while they're already talking although it was just by phone. It's just simple things. They laughed at every single one another's joke. But through it she felt already knew him for a long time. They're already close enough when they decided to finally meet. 

Chapter 2

She couldn't even notice about the first impression while the sparks flew instantly between them. She doesn't know whether she's the only one who feel it. But the two of them enjoyed the date. He asked her out even more since then. Their communication got more often than before. Just let it flow, let it takes where it wants them to go. Until he opened the doors and showed the things that she never seen it before. He opened her eyes and made her believe. He said his choice was right and he's so in love. They're in love...

Chapter 3

She had never felt so much loved before. She had never be treated like he treated her that way. They already talked about the future like they had a clue. They had tons of wild imagination. But time passed away and people's feeling change.  She kept on searching but she found nothing that might be went wrong on her. It's such a shame they were apart. Cause people were so envy of them and the sweetness they shared. Never thinking they would lose eachother. After all the beautiful short period of time, the feeling just faded away that easy. Did it come so fast so it went so easy too? Or is it actually not real? Is it actually never happened?  He used to say sweet things, but it used to be real sweet and now it's just hurt. She doesn't know whether it's killing him the way it's killing her and the pain she's in or not. There's no final meet to seal any bad thoughts. Never feel silence could be this loud.

He made his best effort to avoid her. Always trying to look busy and held his pride. Why do they have to pretend that it's nothing? Why do they have to make it's like a contest of who can act like they careless? The short existence of their togetherness never be regretted.  Although now they only become stranger with some memories. It can't be deleted, just hiding it from the surface cause it can ruin everything. Don't blame him cause his feeling and mind are changing all of the sudden. Don't blame her cause falling for unresponsible boy. They don't have any power to resist and forget either.

~The End~

Movie Review: "I Don't Know How She Does It"

I just didn't know what movie I should choose when suddenly, without any plan before, I ended up in RedBox again. RedBox is on of a movie rental rent in Tembalang, Semarang, Indonesia. It was because I thought I was going to die soon considering there's nothing to do in Tembalang while everybody was already in their own comfortable safe home. I know people are going to call me, Lebay -,- but...let me tell you my condition first yaw. Oke, we can call it as uhm 'curhat dulu'.

Just right after a week I got back to Jakarta, I needed to go back to Semarang again because I had to attend 2 days meeting for BEM. Ciyeeeee Nadia chie naqs BEM :3 Oh pleaseeeee~ Unfortunately, when I came back, my friends were already back to their hometown too. Beneran deh ya, not only TI-narian friends but also my senior high friends, my junior high friends who are in Undip too, they all left. Yeah maybe there were several people that stayed, but I was sure it because they got something to do. What bout me? I had 5 don't-know-what-to-do days.

Okay! Cukup Nad curhatnya. Yuk mare kita mulai aja. Please take a seat and prepare your popcorn. Yum!

I Don't Know How She Does It is a movie for women especially working mom or maybe decided to be a working mom someday. And it also important for the men knowing how to deal with a kind of woman like this. The genre is comedy so it's an easy thinking movie but has a deep meaning for me. It focuses on Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker). Tau SJP kan? Itu loh yang main Sex and The City. As for me sih filmnya yang paling well-known ya itu. For those who still saying, "Hah? SJP? Siapanya DePe sama JuPe tuh?" Oh please guys, sometimes you need to change your channel into HBO or Fox Movies -,- jangan kebanyakan nonton inpoteinmen deh~ Udah yaaa, tau yaaa who SJP is. Go googling then!

Kate is a working mom. She really do love her job as a manager finance consultant (kalo ga salah) but in the other hand she has 2 beautiful kids at home, Emily and Ben. FYI, The cast for Ben is actually a twin. Disini itu ceritanya si Kate adalah seorang ibu yang bisa mengerjakan semuanya dengan baik, both work or house chores. Karena ini film komedi, pasti ya ga standard2 aja gitu filmnya. Di film ini dibuat kayak ada interview gitu dari karakter-karakter lain di film ini mengenai si Kate Reddy. Terutama sih dari assistant, rival nya di kantor, dan sahabatnya pastinya. Sahabatnya, Allison Henderson (Christina Hendricks), adalah seorang single mom. Terus kalo assistantnya ini si Momo Hahn (Olivia Munn) is not a friendly person but very smart so si Kate betah-betah aja sama dia. What about her rival? Ya sebagaimana seorang rival lah ya, Chris Bunce (Seth Meyers), si Kate ga suka sama dia soalnya dia itu katanya selalu merebut kesempatan terakhir dari usaha seseorang and then he take all the grants gitu pft -_- curang banget kan. That's why Kate hates him. Tapi tetep  aja siiih, Kate selalu menang tiap ada tugas bagus dari si bos Clark Cooper (Kelsey Grammer). And that's all the galauness starts.

Kate's bestfriend, Allison

"Every working mom needs solitary"

 Kate's assistant, Momo.

She refuses to have a child because she sees a  mess in Kate. But she finally lick what just she said.

 Kate's rival at work, Bunce

Kate always be better than him.

Si boss Clark asks Kate to go to New York to meet Jack Abelhammer (Pierce Brosnan). Si Pierce ini biar udah tua tetep aja ganteng luuuh :3 He's a single-workaholic man. Nah, meeting Jack is a good chance for her to get achievements on her carrier. Instead of choosing Bunce to go to New York, boss Clark chooses Kate because her proposal that sent to Jack is interesting enough to please him. Gituuu, intinya mah pinteran Kate gitu daripada si Bunce. Nah disini lah pertemuan Kate sama Jack yang akhirmya mereka jadi tim kerja yang baik. Lama kelamaan si Jack jadi suka gitu deeehhh.

Kate's partner, Jack Abelhammer

At the end, he ends up with Kate's bestfriend,

Ehiya daritadi belum cerita keluarganya, bahkan suaminya Kate aja belum dikenalin ya? Uuuu cian~ Kate's husband, Richard Reddy (Greg Kinnear), is also a working man. Lupa ya dia kerja apa, tapi dari yang sepercik gue inget sih kerjaannya juga udah bagus gitulah. Can't you imagine this family, parents are working and the children are still kids. Actually it's a common thing ya, therefore we can see the lesson from it. The first lesson I take from this movie is from Kate's mom, she said "You guys never blame at eachother. If there's something wrong, it must be everybody's mistake". Yaaa ga begitu juga sih tepat kata-katanya tapi intinya begitu. I think that is the point for working couple who already have kids suppose to think to overcome their problem. 

 Richard is really good at looking after the kids. He's a supportive husband.

 Oh Beeeeennnnn *pinch*

Emily and Ben

The cutie Goldberg twins act as Ben

Singkat cerita ya si Kate ini makin sering bolak balik New York - Boston buat ngurusin masalah kerjaan dia sama Jack. Even she misses thanksgiving. And suddenly she gets a call from her husband that Ben is sick. She directly flies back to Boston. Puncaknya ya, there's another task from Clark that she has to go out of town again while in same time she already made a promise with her girl, Emily, that by the first snow falls, we will make a snowman together, Gitu janjinya. Disitulah dilemma nya. She said she can't but she can do the job in another day, she let Clark to fire her but she sad she would never quit and give up for her job because she really love her job. And yaaa as I predict, Clark lets her go and doesn't fire her either. 

"At work, when you act like 'one of the boys', they call you abrasive and difficult. So, if you act like a woman, they say you're emotional and difficult. So, difficult is really just the word for anything that isn't a man."  - Allison Henderson

"I love being a mother of a two-year old. It is like being a movie star in a world without critics." - Kate Reddy

Actually sih ceritanya terlalu 'biasa' gitu ya. Udah sering kita temui di kehidupan sehari-hari. Tapi justru disini loh kita bisa dapet point kehidupannya :) asyemeleeeeh. Nah karena jokes-jokes nya dan juga acting konyol si SJP yang suka muncul ga terduga itu yang bikin film ini menarik dan ga bosen ditonton. Walaupun ga terlalu bikin penasaran banget sih buat tau akhirnya gimana. Film jenis begini kan emang ga butuh banyak mikir dan ga butuh banyak kritikan juga dari viewers nya karena gampang ketebak akhirnya begimana dan kita cuma disuruh buat yaaa nikmatin aja gitu, Ya pasti happy ending lah yaaa. But there's one thing that matter in real life but easily to be overcomed in this movie is finding nanny for the kids. Beneran loh ya ini, sebagaimana peengalaman pribadi dari Tante, doi sama suaminya sama-sama kerja, dan kerjaan doi juga udah bagus banget. Tapi yang sering jadi masalah adalah ketika pembantunya itu sering kabur tanpa pamit atau ga bener lah ngurus anak-anaknya. Terus juga di film ini anak-anaknya seems fine aja gitu alias ga nakal. Nah kalo tante gue ini anak pertamanya super duper active and I have to resist deh if I asked to look after him. Hiiii capek banget, fyuh ga mau diem. The point is, Life isn't as easy as it seen in the movie. Although it has the same matter.

The lesson I take from this movie is about how great a working mom is. Kate in this movie is really magical. She can divide a good portion of her time and thought to work and family. It isn't about the quantity but quality time she successfully gives. And also! Nah ini dia, how lucky she is, having Richard as her husband who really really understands her. They do fighting. But no yelling at eachother. They can be a perfect couple through their imperfection. Richard is also a good father, caring for his children and willing to do house chores too. He's so one in a million <3 font="">

"It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me. not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too."

We're TI With Full of Pride

Hell-O fellas! Been a long time since the last time I write and share in this blog. What do I write tonight? I wanna share about my college life for y'all. The previous post is about my task for TI actually. And the last story of mine about college was just until I was going to Semarang for verification. But now, Semarang is my third town beside Jakarta and Bekasi.

Before I start, I wanna say HAPPY BRAND NEW YEAR 2013, EVERYBADEH!!! It's kinda late, I know~ Let's open the first chapter of 2013. Start by evaluating yourself and writing your resolution. Make some targets, don't be easily satisfy. 2013 is just about to start \m/

My life in Undip started from August 27th. It's the first PMB. We, as the freshmen, were welcomed and accepted by University in Stadion. Next, by faculty in Soedharto Building. And last but not least, by major which is Industrial Engineering (y). And this is where all the story begins.

First time living alone in unfamiliar place, new town, without parents or older relatives in charge was not an easy thing to face. Considering me, as the person who can't cook and doesn't do everything right, tried to struggle as well as I could. I must confess that I cried a lot in the first weeks in Semarang hahaha. How could you Nad? You are considered as a strong girl :B Wooooo, I'm not that strong breee, I'm fragile fyi. And thanks for understanding. LOL. Actually I a little bit forget about the specific things that I had done in September. All I remember was just, been busy with Kaderisasi tasks, college tasks especially Gamtek and other things.

What's Kaderisasi Nad? Is it important? Oh that's too important to be true. But you'll never get the advantage of Kaderisasi before you're going through it for some times. The result wouldn't come out as fast as the blink of eyes. But it'll last long. As an Industrial Engineer in Undip, we couldn't work alone. All the lab works need assistant. And all the assistants are seniors. So, if we want to live long in TI, get good marks, we have to be united as Angkatan 2012 and also know seniors and all TI's citizens. The way to make it happen and work fast was by Kaderisasi. It took couple months. Yeah I admitted that it's not easy. We were forced both physically and mentally. However, TI didn't use physical punishment as much as others engineering major in Undip. Also it wasn't easy to make 140 freshmen different way of think into one vision, to be united and care each other. I even thought that it wasn't gonna happen. But I knew time had the right answer later.

Life (still) was going on with tasks and deadlines in TI. It's a common thing for TI-narian to sleep less than 5 hours a day. It would be extremely extraordinary to sleep more than 5 hours a day, remembering all the deadlines which killed us slowly. But all those things had an essence for me, personally, that it was such a quality time for me and friends to know each other more by spending time together. And now here we are. TI 2012, more than just Angkatan, but also we're ONE as a FAMILY ({})

TI-narian in Undip has special characteristic that is wearing white hairband with a hair tied for girls and wearing white ribbon on the right hand sleeve for hijabers, also wearing white handband on the right wrist for boys. It used to make us as Maba TI felt proud to be TI-narian.


In TI, I also found my bests. Here they are:

PRS
I knew from the start  that she's going to be my bestf. Dunno where the thoughts were come from but here she is. Be my bestf ({}). I just felt 'clop' with her. She's a melancholia girl. Always see everything by heart, she's too emmm.....girly (?) She always says the truth, lying even if it's just a little is sooo not her. Better you off if you just wanted to hurt her cause she's gonna trust you wholeheartedly :)

MAS
She's like an angel in Bidadari soap opera long time ago, don't you remember? Yeah, physically she is. But who knows from the inside? She's like The Devil Wears Prada (a movie title) -,-. Her attitude is really...emmm what is it like.... messy. Hahahahah! She's kinda crazy girl who really wants to be loved by the one she loves <3>

WZ
I personally am saying that she's a caring and loyal girl. A friendship, as she thinks, is really priceless. She showed it. She's like pak Bondan Icip-icip's child cause she knows a lot about well-tasted food especially in Semarang. No wonder her cheek is quietly chubby uuuuu :3 How about love? She's already get through many boys, whether it's just 'friend', cem-ceman or 'boyf'.

So, aren't we lovable? :3
