You're steady, organizes, and determined to achieve your dreams.
You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones).
You'll likely reach the top. And when you do, you'll be honorable and responsible.
Focus on happiness. Don't let your goals distract you from fun!
Don't be too set in your ways, and you'll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of.

Just check it on this site. After answering the quiz, they told me that i am a SATURN person with all those characteristics. Is that really me??? You tell me.... ^_^;v

Have you ever felt like a little girl that left out in the candy store? You feel like want to have and taste all the candies but just can't do that because your might left with a toothache and you're also not sure whether you can chew all those candies or not.

Why it is so hard to making choices? I always found it very difficult to make some choices. Especially for things that deal with my own life and closely related to the future. There always linger the worried of making mistakes and taking the wrong decisions. Some wise words said that mistakes are part of our live, that it the best teacher in our life, and that we never become a person as we are now if it's not because of the things we had done in the past - includes all mistakes and wrong decisions that we had made. Nevertheless when it comes to time of making choices, I always find it as the most difficult part of my life. I think that what I'd decide now, will affect my life in the future. So there's a burden if I decide wrong, then I will have to live with it for all my life. What if the wrong decisions I make were not teaching me anything, instead it's trapped me into something that I'd never wanted and keep me away from something that I really wanted?

I thought it's only happened in Indonesia where there always be confusing around the exact date of Idul Fitri. But apparently at happens everywhere, and i experienced it here now. Last night i suppose to cook some food for the celebration of Idul Fitri on Sunday. In the middle of the sholat Tarawih, there was a phone call that informed us that Idul Fitri would actually happen the next day, which means today, or Saturday in specific. Can you imagine how rushed everybody was. Just like some kind of panick attack if i may said, as nobody finished their part for cooking the food yet. But finally everything was settled down and the celebration could run smoothly just now.

So here i am want to greet everybody a HAPPY EID MUBARAK 1 Syawal 1425 H. Minal adizin walfa idzin. Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum...taqabbal ya kariim, kullu amiin wa antum bi khoir. May the next year ahead will full of blessing until the time come for another Ramadhan, insya Allah.

Today, twenty five years ago, on the exact time, my mother was giving birth of a baby girl: it's ME. My parents gave me very simple name with simple meaning yet very valuable: ONE BLESS or BLESSING AT ONE. They raised me in a way that i couldn't ask them for any better way. They set me free but never let me out of control. They put so much trust in me that made me feel very responsible to keep it. They never told me what to do but always give fully support of anything i had decided. They put so much hope in me that sometimes i'm afraid to let they down. They gave me wings, taught me how to fly, but always remind me the way to come home. And most importantly they always let me to be who i am that makes me never enough to thank them.

Twenty five years has passed since the day i was born. It seems like a small number. But in another way, it will look different: a QUARTER of the CENTURY, a SILVER AGE. Sounds really like a BIG number. I have reached so many things as i have lost some things along the way. I lost the innocence life of youth, the innocence way of seeing the world and lost some people i once considered very valuable. Life has been more complicated with more complex problems. But as it happens it teach me more about living. I can gain more knowledge, experience unimaginable journey, and blessed with a lot of new friends. All of those really enriched my life in the last twenty five years. I may regret some of it though i tried so hard not to. I believe without any one of those experiences, i would not be the same person as i become right now. I just wish on this twentieth years of my life on Earth, i will be able to gain more wisdom, reach my dreams, live my life, devoted to my parents, and not to waste any more of my time left.

My way of life has been changed recently because of many factors. Firstly, the school period is back. Now i have to attend classes everyday from morning 'till the afternoon. Doing a lot of assignment, have a lot of reading materials, and everyday a groupwork *sigh*. If you have such a long holiday like mine, it would take more times to adjust back. I was able to live such kind of life before, but recently it felt soooo hard. Take last week for example, i was really exhausted that need total rest on the weekend to recharge myself. Well....thank God my schedule is blank for Monday. So i still can extended my rest, though i do some homework for my personal assignment and part of the groupwork at home. Anyway, i don't have to go outside and face the cold weather. And yes, secondly is about the weather. Winter is coming, and i can feel it already. With temperature NEVER rise above 10 celcius degrees, is definitely a winter. And it will be getting worse as i checked in the forecast. It would even reached somewhere below zero this week. Geez....full schedule, cold of winter, and shorter day *because of winter time* really a great combination to starts my schooling days after such a long hibernation.

But wait a sec, it doesn't mean that i didn't have sometimes to have fun last week. I was manage to go to Eindhoven and see the monthly Boekenfestijn there. For a book freak like me, it's definitely a heaven. Forget the cold winter temperature and long distance from my place to Eindhoven *2 hours in total*, i was able to go there and bought a lot of books. And i really mean it, it's A LOT, though there're no school-related book still *grin*. Most of them was just some books of hobbies and novels, all of whicht the reading materials for my soul ;). And yestereday came another time of having fun. I was going to the Vloeinmarkt here in Wageningen together with Mbak Nike and Bu Oke fams. Again here i found a lot of cute things with super cheap prices! I got a lot of things with less cash, and also Mbak Nike and Bu Oke fams. But the buy of the day was the bicycle that bought by Mbak Bike. It's soooo cool, really beautiful bike just like the Z3 of BMW if we'd like to compare it as a car *grin*. The bike was new according to the seller, the latest model accomplete with schock breaker, speedometer, and alarm function. And though it quite pricey, it's worth it! So if i look at the fun time i spent compare to the new 'normal' way of life recently, i really should have no reason to complain. Well....anyway...maybe after i adjust later ;))
