Midnight babbling

First few months of 2013 were a little bit rough for me. My beloved great grandma passed away, my school's cup were postponed because of big flood in Jakarta and I got a bad score in Biology AS level examination. Despite of those bad news, I've learned how to be more mature and thank God for all His grace that he already gifted to me :) My great grandma is already in heaven together with God, our school's cup become the most memorable cup ever because all atudents and teachers are helping each other to clean up the flood's mess, and I got A in accounting, math, and physics :D

All of those events and other things have opened my eyes that life have no instruction book. We don't know how to react to an event, if we haven't know what is the purpose of it. What we can do is pray to God and God will lead us to follow His plan :)
This year is my last year as a high school student and maybe last year in Jakarta. I will be graduated this December and (hopefully) start my university life in March 2014.
Right now I'm still don't know what major to take in university. I love paper crafting and creative related thingy but I release I must be realistic. There's no craft major in university. The only major that related to my hobby is maybe design major. But still, it's not suitable enough because basicly design include sketching, sclupture making, ceramics, jewelry, etc that I don't know how to do it. I can doodling, but that's all.
The other major that I'm suggested to take is Accounting. Well, I like numbers, and I bet all Indonesians love math more than other subjects. After taking accounting lesson in high school, I've released that accounting is completely different from math. We must know the system, differentiate between debit credit then input the numbers. It seems easy but I'm really clumsy that I often input wrong numbers in calculator, forget the formula and sometimes even confuse between debit and credit haha -_-

When I was a child, I thought that life would be easy and simple. Graduate from SMAK 1 (when I was a child my mom always told me to study in there beause she graduated from smak1 and she said it's one of the best school in Jakarta), take design major in private Indonesian university, and become a graphic designer or open a craft shop. But God has a different plan. I enrolled to SMAK 8 Penabur International School (located exactly beside smak1 in tanjung duren and I literally can see smak1's building everyday lol) and will continue my uni life abroad.

Now the only question that keep bugging my mind in this past weeks is,
be idealistic and take design major to develop my hobby, or be realistic and take accounting/finance major because my parents said so.
Only God knows the answer and I believe He will let me now at the right time :)

Sorry there's no new craft projects that can be posted in this blog :( holiday is coming up next month and I hope new craft ideas will hop on to my dull brain okay? ;)

Holiday Trip! (part 1)

Gday lads! I'm really glad that finally exams are over! Sorry for being a super bad blogger by only update 2 blog posts in a year lol -___- There's not many craft projects lately due to exams so lemme show you my holiday trip's photos :D

On last July, my mom, bros and I went to Manado to visit my auntie's family. Manado is located at North Sulawesi and it's 4 hours from Jakarta by plane.

Yes. That's us with "Welcome to Manado" sign at the airport. Actually it's an Indosat ad but who cares? As long as you can take a photo lol ;)

At night, we ate at Mawar Sharon Restaurant and it's delicious! :9 Actually all of the foods at Manado are so delicious (except the spicy one because I can't stand it) but we didn't take pics with all of the restaurants lol ;p

On the next day, we went to Danau Linow


Monumen Yesus Memberkati. Forgive my sleepy and blurry face haha

It's snorkeling time! Bunaken is one of Indonesia's most famous diving and snorkeling areas and it draws visitors from all over the world. I'm lucky enough to be able to went there :D


If you don't want to swim, you can still enjoy the the underwater scenery from your glass floor boat! How cool is that?
 
Aye aye we're ready captain! Ready to snorkel with brothers and cousins :D
 Photobomb-ed by a fish
 
That's Nemo! I found it! Now they don't need to make a sequel from the Finding Nemo film lol :p

Really want to bring this starfish home but unfortunately we were not allowed to :( shock Patrick is shock hahaha

On the last day, we went to Suaka Margasatwa to visit some Manadonese animals. It's a place like zoo but smaller. At there, we can see Alligator, Birds, Goura, Wild Boar, Kuskus, and Monkeys
 Do you know what animal this is? It's Tarsius! look like monkey but smaller and have long tail. I think this is what happened when monkey and mouse are mix together lol ;p
 
We feed the monkeys with candies haha ;) Everyone even monkeys love candiesss ❤

Sorry but we didn't take too much scenery photos because we were busy to take photos of our face haha so here's a tree lol
 
Oh and another scenery photo.
 

We bought many souvenirs at Merciful Building. You guys must try the klappertart because it's EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! (y)
 
It's time to go home! Bye Manado! I miss my auntie and cousins already :( But the good news is they will visit us in Jakarta this month! yippie :)

The result of the snorkeling and others, super TAN skin and it become something like brown ombre lol. oh why -________-
