Provided by website hit counters website.

it's nandra. they also call her nashz, the history of such name is way too long to elaborate in this little space. she's seventeen. she's a she. she lives a typical metropolitan lifestyle in the capital of Indonesia. she's currently in her senior year of high school, enduring the second and last year of IB Diploma Programme that's totally ruining her life slowly. but she thinks the whole suffering would give her some sort of advantage in the (scarily) near future. she's a CISVer and lovin' every bit of it. oh, she also very much enjoys mango juice, she'd even prefer it than OJ haha. and while we're at it, yes, she might be random from time to time. she wishes you'd be quite patient about it. :)

Nandra... I am your father... (loh??) haha

Oh-My-God! It's been ages since I last posted! Been almost two weeks, no? haha.
A lot has been going on since the last time I posted.

There was JB Nites 3 . Which went superbly I must say. Acquired some knowledge... One of them was to not wear Converse on a hike. Do it at your own risk! Haha. Planned some events for next year. I have this fear that's building up inside of me... It kept on screaming that the event I planned will be a failure. But I tried to be positive and just see what will happen next. Well, for the time being that is. Coz it turns out I've got a lot more to worry about...

That's where my report card come in. I checked it out once I got home from JB Nites. Then a mixture of feelings arose.
I did exceptionally well in English! 9.5 for the essay! YAAAAYY!! In short, I GOT AN 'A' FOR ENGLISH! YAAAAAAYYYY!! I'm sooooooooo freaked! The hard work I've put in for the exam is finally paid off! ;p
HOWEVER. My math was 'below average'. it's a 6.6 *i spose hehe* Well it was okay for me but it didn't seem so to my parents! Yeah! They opened my report before I do! AAARRH! Anyways, then there goes the speech of "You're supposed to do better than this... How could you... bla bla bla" Yeah. That. :p
What surprises me most was that in one of the subjects *i forgot what it was*, I flunked. Yeah. So last term I got a 9.6 and for the exam I got 5.8 . ;p Wat a crapload! AAAHH!
Anyways, I've gotten over the whole thing! I've got a whole semester to determine my academic future. Haha. ;p

So to take my mind of the whole report card shite, I went to BALI! YAAAAAYY!!
And the best part is, I went there with Filza! And my family of course! It was sooooo much fun!
Sooooo I arrived in Bali on Christmas Day *2 am to be exact, thanks to Garuda for the 2 hour delay! ;p
Since some of my friends were in Bali as well, we got together with some of them. Well only Jo and Della tho. But still it was too much fun! It rained for the first two days tho :( I was really desperate to see the sun! There were totally no sunshine on Bali for two whole days! How shitty is that??? Anyways, I met Jo and Jenny (his girlfriend ;p) in Kuta on Christmas. When we got there, the rain stopped, so we headed down to the beach. Oooooh, how i love to see the beach! ;p But guess what, 20 minutes later, it rained! Arh! Stupid rain! But we went around anyways. ;p
The next days we went to Waterbom (cost me heaps, but was worth it ;p )... And of course SHOPPING! I have to tell you, I like to shop in Ubud better than in Kuta. The atmosphere in Ubud is more... ummm... Bali. You somehow lose the fact that you're in Bali if you shop in Kuta, it's too toursity. Haha. It's a bit more artsy in Ubud and some boutiques are pricey too... But, they do have great boutiques. Oh well, just some opinion... I shopped mostly in Ubud, and got this super gorgeous skirt for half its price. Hahaha.
Aside from shopping, We went to Benoa for watersport! With Della and her sister... It was soooooo... exhilarating! I tried flyfish in Benoa and I suggest you should too! Haha. You're practically flying! Well, floating in midair I suppose... It's hard to explain how it goes... Just try it.. Hahaha.
I really wanted to bungee jump, but I suppose I didn't have the time and it was too pricey. But I have have have to bungee jump the next time I'm in Bali! Yeaaaahh!!

Soooo that's it.. That's what's been happening in my ordinary life... ;p
I'd like to close this post with a line from Jamie Cullum's song Photograph...

When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.

It goes out to the people who thinks their world has ended because they're stuck at home during Christmas and New Year holidays. Think about that line. You'll soon realised of the magical things that has happened in your so-called ordinary life...

Enjoy your holidays people!
Happy New Year!
Oh, And Happy belated Christmas! ;p

My holiday's been surprisingly filled with activities. Though some days I just sit around doing nothing. Which seems very pathetic, but then I try to do something productive so I don't feel as pathetic about myself. Some sort of redemption. Well, whatever.

So I learned to drive at Senayan with my uncle this morning. Being the impatient person I am, I nearly gave up after trying to get the car moving 5+ times. Haha ;p . Well I got the car to move and drove around... It was fun though... I really can't wait until I really get the hang of driving and get my license. Keep dreaming, Nan... It's still two three years away. ;p

Anyway, I really got nothing to tell, seriously. I've been having nausea since this afternoon. I dunno why... Oh, well... I'm hitting the sack.

Have a nice hols people! ;p

All my holiday cheers,
Nandra

I did something I haven't done for the past, umm two years.
I went to my old school, which I spent 3 years of my life (from year 3 - 6)
I went there to watch their christmas performance and meet my old friends; caren, feli and julia.
It was so OH-MY-GOD!! Hardly anything changed in that school... I met the teachers that once taught me... Once I loathe and cursed (so trully sorry, teachers ;p) I went to the classes and pointed out the "historical" spaces of the school... It was real cool.. ;p

But the best part of today was being with Caren, Feli and Julia again. Aaaawwwh, I miss them heaps! I haven't seen Feli for, what? 2 years? Well, the last time I met her she hasn't moved to Perth yet... And Julia, too! Well, I did meet her some 2 - 3 months ago, but we didn't get to talk or hang out much... I really felt like crying seeing them both... But I was able to hold back all the tears.. :)

Anyways, so we had lunch together at Red Tomato in eX. We spent most of the time being nostalgic... Laughing about all the inspid presposterous incoherent fights we had back in Year 4...
And who fell for who... Missing the solid togetherness we had in Year 6... God, it was funny and quite sad at the same time, since we're now parted...

Some of us in Jakarta, some in Singapore and Australia... Then in 2 years we'll all be spreading in different parts of the world... I'd really like to replay the moments we were in those hideous purple uniforms. We had good times and bad times which we shared together, learned together... Gosh, time flies soooo fast...

Anyways, I'd like to make the best of everything since Caren, Feli and Julia are all in Jakarta. Especially since Caren will have to go back by Christmas (WHY? WHY? WHY???!!!) :(

Soooo that was the story of my Not-so-pointless Nostalgic Tuesday...
I hope more nostalgic days are coming.. I'm sooo looking forward to it.

Cheers :)

OK. I KNOW. i'm supposed to be studying. but my inadequate brain needs break! ahahha. which i just had for the past one hour. haha.

anyways just an overview of how i'm coping with all the exams.

Math: I'd rather not talk about it. Really.
English: I suppose I did it right. I suppose I threw in good argument, with the adequate examples. Just regreted I didn't add that one particular sentence I could've put in the introduction to make my thesis statement stronger. But I've checked and rechecked with my teacher and it seems fine. Well it better be, coz I'm this close to losing my hand dexterity!
Bahasa Indonesia: All good.
Bio: All good.
Physics: Surprisingly easy. Well, I couldn't do some but overall, I can do it! YEAY!

So tomorrow's business and national humanities. Awh, so many to read! So frickin' lazy. And if that's not enough i haven't hand in my vampire side project thingy to Mr. Brian. Suppose to hand it in on monday. AHAHA. Oh, well. ;p

Anyways, I LOVE COLBIE CAILLAT. Her songs are just SO remarkable! ;]
haha, i know so random right? but i suggest you listen to her songs. The one in this blog is called Oxygen. Nice, no?;)

oritey, back to business! I mean literally, I'm back to studyin' business after this, haha! ;p
