Update

Oh wow...gw cupu abis deh, katanya janji2 mau update blog...nyeh.

So anyways, here's an update in my life so far:

1. Girlfriend
Oh yes, ladies and gentleman, i am officially not single anymore! Hohoho, and when this is written, dalam 3 hari lagi, we will celebrate our 1 month anniversary. Penasaran khan siapa? Cek facebook gw deh, under Evandra Tamzil, tar lo langsung liat gw in a relationship with who. But hey, wish me luck for the next months. Especially we will be long distancing pretty soon.

2. Campus Life
I pass 'em all! Yay! Credits for law and marketing, and Distinction for statistics and macroeconomics. And with an average score of 69.70 (still a bit low, but good enough by my standards), it allows me to enter into Caulfielf Campus. So what this mean is (selain gw nganggur selama effectively 4 bulan), masa depan gw di Australia terjamin. Hello, future me!

3. Blog blog
So i realize, ini mungkin just a small fraction of my life, but hey, like any other creations this one would be taken care of. Picking off with my craze for anime and the likes, me and my friends decided to make an anime blog review. It's not the best anime review out there, but it's made by yours truly, so it's worth a look.
Link: http://yumekki.wordpress.com (yeah, i'd have to use wordpress, the name has been taken in blogspot, what can i do).

4. 4 months break
Yeah, pardon the pun. So then, i'll be out of commission for at least 4 months. Me now is my otaku mode, well, i'll probably find some part time jobs or internships by november. And i need to toughen up my physique, so i don't look to shabby. And also this 4 months, time for extended rest and relax.

So then, begitulah kurang lebih update gw dari post terakhir sampai saat ini. Basi abis ga sih? Ya udahlah. Until then.

Vandar=Evandra

When they say that the first DnD character reflect who you really are in nature. I guess it's true for me in a sense.

Vandar is an elf, living in a seclusive clan in the depths of Arcania Sanctum, far from the technological and the main cities in the country. At home, he always felt alone, he trusts no one, not even his families, and he has little or no close friends. His parents always urges him to do something against his will, mainly in terms of education and self perfection. His parents acknowledged themselves as the so call perfect being, and always pesters Vandar to be just like them.He loathed them, disliking them in every possible way. Vandar's only close relative is his sister, whom he can share with and talk to, and be a friend as well in times of needs.

Eventually Vandar left home, without notice and went on a journey by himself. He found friends, who would later become the slayers. And only in that group, can he felt true friendship.

Me? I don't know, i'll let you be the judge.

13- an omen, a wake up call

They say that the number 13 is a number shrouded with mystery and is regarded as a harbinger of bad luck. I am a man of logic, therefore i do not believe in urban legends and lores. However the date 13 today, brings a new definition of bad luck to me.

All in all i have never fail anything in my life, failure is not an option in my dictionary. Sure, if we were to look at my track records from back when i was at junior high i always have a weakness on a certain subject (and the trend is mathematics from time to time). And that track record of mine shows the connection between me and mathematics is like superman to krypton. It was, is and will be my bane.

I got a slight breath of fresh air when i entered college, no more mathematics! Yay! my weakness for once and for all is eliminated. Oh but my cries of joy were about to be cut short, for mathematics has ways in which it embodies itself. In the form of accounting.

I'll admit it now, accounting is not as bad as mathematics. No abstract formulas, no complicated counting and such. However it demanded a great deal of focus and concentration as well as diligence and accuracy. Overall, it demanded a lot of logic power.

Doesn't seem to strike me as a krypton. But my brain has a funny way of reacting to stuffs, once exposed to something that it thinks it would not use in the next stage of my life, it will shut out immediately to that subject, shutting down all abilities to study. And for me accounting is something that i would not use.

What all this has got to do with the number 13? Well, today my accounting assignment and my practice exam's score has just been distributed. And guess what ladies and gentleman, i was this close to failing the assignment, because the oh-so-mighty accounting teacher has decided that every assignment must have a hurdle of 50, less than that and you will fail the assignment, thus failing the whole unit altogether.

What does this mean to me? now, i have another problem up my sleeve. Thank god i do not have any difficulties in the other subject, but my grades are not brilliant as well. My main target is passing this college with an average of 65, which enabled me to go to Caulfield, one of the more prestigious campus of Monash in Australia.

With a quick calculation, in order for me to not fail the subject AND get an average of at least 65 in the subject, my final examination mark should be 73, period.

As my oh-so-brilliant track record has proven, i always limped along the way, but in the end it is always a satisfying mark. Therefore, i hope my brain can lift away the stigma that it has and to study like a madman for the upcoming exam.

I will not fail, i have to much at stake if i fail.

Case Book

This thing should not have existed in the first place at all, such immorality to make students do summarizing and re-writing a whole semester worth of lecture. I mean, if we are doing it while we are in Junior High or Senior High then that may be fine. It just doesn't make any sense.

Worst part is, it is going to be in the final mark of the marketing subject. So, even if i loath this thing, it is compulsory to do it....yay me!

highschool mem....COLLEGE!

so, to those that were expecting part two of my high school memories, you have to wait for a little while. because i was being a lazy (long live sloth!) therefore i did not stick to my resolution in my first post to regularly post.

and therefore, here i am back again. what's new you ask? i'm in college now!

Jakarta International College - Monash College- Business studies

despite the fancy name, its only a building...1 floor to be exact and then magically altered to become a college. however it is still an official branch of monash in indonesia, and therefore it is accredited and it is considered first year of college.

And no...i am not an idiot so i have to take one year of college here, FYI my UAI is 80,26 enough to get me into monash in australia, however i did not choose to do that because...well...i like indonesia, i still have a lot of things to do here. and many many more reasons i would have to rant for days just to get my points clear.

And what do i think of college? fricking difficult, i would scream out meh meh and more meh every now and then (freshman blues). but ah well, that's all behind me right now. i am actually liking it...well, except for one particular subject ACCOUNTING which is...not...meant...to...be...learned AT ALL.

Haha, what would happen to me in college? God knows. as i am writing this blog, i'm contemplating on whether i should do my marketing assignment or not...ah well, its gonna have to wait :D
