Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Sorry I’m late to say this but I was very busy welcoming guests and I was busy celebrating with my family and also sending everyone messages for Christmas.

This Christmas (2015) is very different to other Christmas experiences I have had in Australia because since I’m in Indonesia, I can celebrate it with my extended family! It’s much better because I can celebrate it with people who actually believe that Jesus Christ was born to save us… no offence but most people who visited us on Christmas in Australia weren’t Christians most were Muslims. Now here, my entire family from my dad’s side is a Christian but in my mum’s family there are still muslims but we still celebrate with them and give them presents. I got a few presents this year, I got 2 shirts. One of the is a Hello Kitty shirt and the other is a shirt that matches the whole family and its like a family uniform. I also got a new pencil case and a bedsheet for my new room in my new house! And the bedsheet will also match with my curtains!! I also got a Tupperware drink bottle! I also got my grade 6 t-shirt from my old school in Australia!!! I have been waiting almost the whole year for this shirt and I finally got it in time for Christmas!! I also got chocolate from Australia thanks to my mum and dad’s friends from our old church!

The Holidays!

I'm so glad its the holidays now which also means Christmas is coming!!! Last night I slept over at my older cousin's house. I really like sleeping over here because to be honest its more comfortable and I can also see the fishes! Yesterday evening, my younger cousin, my brother and I went fishing. Well it was in out fish pond. It may sound weird but my aunty buys fishes and puts it in a pond and if they're bigger we will go fishing and she will buy new ones, its like a cycle. This morning my mum cooked the fishes and it was delicious... I don't know why my brother said it tastes like fish food though... it tastes so good!! I will go home after this but on Christmas I will come to my cousin's house again to celebrate it!!

Reports!

Yesterday, I  just got my semester report at school! So yesterday I went to school with my family to get my report. Actually, its not compulsory for the students to come even though the parents have to, but I wanted to because I was really curious about my scores so thats why I wanted to join.
My scores are pretty great, none of them were "red" scores (which means below average). Shockingly  my Maths were 81.... For the daily tests I got 43, 54 and really bad scores but the final score was 81!!!!! All my other scores were great too! I also got my scores for the IQ test I did earlier in the semester and my IQ is 118!! 118 means thats its above average which is pretty cool, I actually only need two more to be in the SUPERIOR level. My friend/classmate Michelle got 127 and she is, I'm pretty sure, the 3rd smartest in my class she is a total genius!! The IQ test is pretty fun actually because of many reasons that I can't explain. Its like a test that you don't have to study for because you don't really know what questions will come up. So yeah...
My highest one was English and I got 97... okay not the best of course but at least its not around 80!
Overall, I think I did pretty well this semester and I hope the next semester will be better and also more fun! Hopefully my grades/scores are higher (AMEN) and I can learn and study more!

UAS (Final Exam) and the Art Festival!

Two weeks ago, I just had my finals! It was a pretty tough week but everything went well. For the whole week, I wasnt allowed to play on my phone, the iPad and my laptop too. For the whole week I had to focus and study on all the exams. So everyday there are 2 exams. Here's a list

Monday: On Monday, I had Indonesian Language and Civics

Tuesday: On Tuesday, I had Maths and Javanese Language

Wednesday: On Wednesday, I had Science and Mandarin Language

Thursday: On Thursday, I had English and Religion

Friday: Last but not least, on Friday, I had Social Science and Culinary Arts

For Monday to Thursday, I went home from school at 10am and on Friday I went home at 9.30am

Now I have finished my Final Exams and I'm pretty glad. I haven't had the scores yet but I heard my friends say I've got the highest score for Religion with two other people and we've got 99! Almost a perfect score!

So a week after the Final Exams, last week, our school had a Student Art Festival for the Middle School! The Art Festival was on Thursday and Friday and to me, my class is very lucky because our performance is on Friday and we are the last class to perform! I performed as the MC, I played the violin, I danced to a Korean song called Just Right by Got7 with my friends and I sang with the whole class! (And I also became a tree for the drama... kind of...). We have prepared it for so long and it was really successful. Even though my class was a little unorganised this time but we did it at the end :D. I really hope another Student Art Festival will happen next year!

Grade 7!

On the 27th of July I went to my new school for the very first time to have something called LOS. LOS is basically the first week at school without studying and you get to know your new classmates and do activities. We got a school tour and we had some small class competitions. It was very fun! School here in Indonesia is so different compared to Australia because in here we have a lot of homework and tests that we have to study for.

In here I now have many friends and I think they are so awesome! One thing that is different about my friends in here and my friends in Australia is that when I tease my friends in here, they don't get mad and they don't take it seriously which is good because I like teasing people anyway hahahah!

A few weeks ago I had my UTS which is Mid Semester Exam and I have to do all the subjects at school. The average minimum is 75 so basically on almost all subjects I have to get 75 or more.
Thankfully I only got I subject that was below 75 which was Mandarin. To be honest I don't really like Mandarin because I have never learnt it, its very hard and also I don't think its important for the future (no offence). My highest score is 100 on Christian Religion! Yay! I got 99 in English etc. I don't remember all of my scores but those were the best ones... :D

Anyway, school is so great, its so different compared to school in Australia and even though it is way more challenging in here, I'm going to try my best :D woohoo!

Safari Park!! (Taman Safari Indonesia)

So on Sunday, I WENT TO THE SAFARI PARK!!! It was soooooo cool! Let me tell you all about it ⬇

So when we arrived we went on the Safari Bus and went to the "Safari" thingy. We saw the animals up close (still inside the bus of course) and there were "categories" about African Animals, Asian et cetera...

Next, we went to the Elephant Show. I thought it was a really boring EDUCATIONAL show like the ones in Australia which gets people leaving before a minute, but actually the show was AWESOME! It was like a DRAMA thing and even the Elephants were involved. I don't know how to explain it but I can only say that the elephants sticked to the story and script.
After the show we also got to feed the elephants and also one of the elephants could paint and she painted a really awesome tree and she painted it on a shirt. The shirts were actually for sale and I decided to buy one for 70.000 RP with my own money. It was a blue shirt with a painting of a tree) painted by the elephant of course) at the back!

After that, my brother, my cousin and I went on some rides... it was really cool!

Then, we went to the Seal Show and it was pirate themed. Not as GREAT as the elephant show but it was pretty interesting indeed.

Me and a few other members of my family also did a paintball gun fight/war... it was really cool but also really scary because the speed of it is like a bullet except it won't kill you because it's only paint. At least for me, I didn't get shot once even though I was the youngest *applause* *claps* THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Everyone was older than 20 except me and everyone else got shot! And don't under estimate MY shooting, I shot my cousin in the hand! *more applause* *more claps* THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'm pretty sure I also shot my cousin's girlfriend and uncle... *EVEN MORE APPLAUSE*

-I'm sorry if I may have missed a FEW things-

Then we watched a show called Journey to the Temple of Terror and it was SO magnificent!! They had water explosions and people at the front got wet (including me, heheh) and also there was fire explosions too and real awesome stunts! The story was kinda similar to the Indiana Jones movies but that was fake stunts and edited, this is all LIVE AND REAL!!!!!!!!

Dumb Ways To Die

I don't know why I have decided to write about this but... well, Dumb Ways to Die is a game about (obviously) dumb ways to die. The makers/creators of the game are actually from Melbourne because basically Dumb Ways To Die is a message to be safe around trains, and the creators are from Metro which is pretty much the public transport in Melbourne!

So in the game you try to save yourself with the "dilemmas" and you only get 3 lives. Once you save a life, you get points and then you continue to the next "dilemma".

The animation is really really cute and also the ways to die are cute and creative. Some of the dilemmas/problems are your head is on fire, you poke a stick at a grizzly bear, you try to get your balloon but then you get hit by a train... (there are the gifs)

Metro made this game to share awareness that you can die around trains. Yes, there are other problems that aren't train related but there are some specifically about trains. Even though this is from Melbourne, this is now worldwide!!

If you'd like to download the game, just search up Dumb Ways to Die on the App Store of Google Play and you should get it, its free!

Recently, Metro (the public transport in Melbourne) released another game Dumb Ways to Die 2! It is pretty different to the first one because this new game has different challenges!

My Grandpa

So recently, my grandpa went to hospital... On Monday (i think), I had to help him go to the bathroom and brush his teeth. But then he was kind of trembling and stuff. And then he asked me to get my dad to help. And then my grandpa was unconscious and he has to breathe from the oxygen tank (yes, we have an emergency oxygen tank for my grandpa). And then my grandpa went to hospital...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So 2 days ago in the afternoon, my grandpa went out of hospital, WOO!!! But at 2am in the morning, my grandpa was vomiting and stuff. Since I slept the night with my grandpa, I had to move to where I usually sleep which is my family's bedroom. And then in the morning, my grandpa was unconscious and had to use the oxygen tank again and my grandpa couldn't move his right side of his body...

Right now, my grandpa is still in the hospital and he can't really talk, well he can, but its not clear and it sounds like my grandpa is mumbling. At least last night at around 8 or 9 o'clock, we got good news that my grandpa could move his right hand.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Right now, I'm just praying so that my grandpa could come home again. Please pray for him because he is still in critical condition. And you obviously love your own grandpas and I love my grandpa too. But I know that God will help and be with my grandpa ◠‿◠  

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

UNAS

So on the 18th of May, I just had UNAS. UNAS is a national exam for people in Grade 6, Grade 9 and Grade 12. It is to get you to Junior High School, High School and to graduate. Instead of joining the normal one, I joined the Paket A/A Packet. Why? Because I didn't go to the schools here in Indonesia. Good thing is, the Packet A is said to be easier than the normal exams! WOOHOO!!
There are 5 subjects. Bahasa Indonesia, PPKN, IPA, IPS and Maths.

Funny thing is that there were a lot of old people who joined the exam. Its a long story but to sum it up, if they pass the exam, they have a better chance to get a better job...

Weird thing that happened during the exam was that while all of us were doing the exam, the teachers who were guarding did it too. But when we were all finished, the teachers handed out the teacher's answers to the students. On the first day, I looked at the answers and changed my first two answers. Then I realised, it was wrong. Well, the Holy Spirit told me of course. So then I changed to my original answers... :D
And that my friends, is a blessing from God!

My New Captain America & Squidward Tentacles Obsession

So... I've got a new obsession now on two very different things. One is Captain America and one is Squidward Tentacles!

Captain America
So why am I obsessed with Captain America? Well, I think he's a very cool superhero and the fact that he was part of World War 2 is just too awesome!! And also the fact that he became an "icicle" and was unconscious and asleep for almost 70 years is just way awesome-r! Fun fact, Captain America is a Christian! Woo!
I'd also like to tell you a spoiler... I'm sorry for spoiling it... Captain America dies in Civil War...
I know, I know, I'm sad over a fictional character. In fact, I actually cried when I found out. What is Civil War? No, he didn't go to Israel. He was fighting against his friend, Iron Man. Sad, sad. And if you want to find out more, like I want to find out more, you will have to wait another year for Captain America Civil which is going to come out in the Cinemas on May the 6th 2016... Sad, sad. We have to wait a year...

Squidward
Squidward Tentacles is, as you may know, is from the series, Spongebob Squarepants. I first got obsessed with him yesterday actually because I was chatting with my friends on Google Hangouts and I posted a hilarious picture of Squidward to describe what my friend Vivian was feeling. Then, I got obsessed and I like to see funny Squidward Tentacles gifs/moving pictures.

My Birthday

I know I'm SUPER late but on May the 8th, it was my birthday!!!! WOOHOOO!!!
On my birthday, I had a small celebration with my grandpa and my cousin at home and my parents also bought a small cake! And also on my birthday we had a bigger celebration with my family from my mum's side and we went to a restaurant called Boncafe! Its such an AMAZINGGG restaurant!! I ordered chicken schnitzel and it was delicious, it also came with fruit kebabs! During the dinner at Boncafe, the restaurant apparently played the "Happy Birthday" song and they also brought the world's most delicious chocolate cake!
While we were at the restaurant, we also played at the "playground" outside. I know, i know, its childish but we still did, and it was fun. So don't judge! We also took photos (obviously) and yeah...
And also with my family from my dad's side, we went to an Asian resto and I celebrated my birthday along with my Uncle's birthday. There, I ate fried rice and crispy noodles my favourite! ♡♡♡
Presents? Well I got a few things from my relatives and from my parents, I got a case for my Bible and also a new room which is still being renovated!! That's like, the best gift from my parents! So I really appreciate it ^‿^

My Teeth!

Right now, I’m in Makassar for the second time since I went to Melbourne because I have to have 4 of my teeth pulled out. I have to stay here in Makassar for about 4 or 5 days and today is the second day and two of my teeth have been pulled out. Yesterday it didn’t hurt AT ALL but today it hurt just a little bit… maybe because yesterday was the tooth at the bottom and today was the tooth at the top. I’m not sure.

Yesterday my uncle told me to pull my teeth out by myself. THIS IS LEGIT PEOPLE!! My dad has a video on his phone and he also sent it to the rest of my family on Whatsapp.  Unfortunately I cant post it because… I just can’t be bothered to be honest.

I need to wait two more days or even three. I’m SO glad my mum and dad let me bring my laptop because if not, IM DEAD. I also forgot my phone, which would make my time here even worst. But also, even though I’m in here, I have to study with my dad, which stinks because… I guess my brother doesn’t need to study... and I have to, OUT OF TOWN! Anyway it’s not as long as the usual ‘durations’ but I still study the same things, mostly.

Anyway… I just went out of topic.

So about my teeth, it was in pretty horrible shape and it was VERY unorganized so my uncle said for me to use braces. But when I first went to Makassar, we didn’t have much time to stay there… only 2 days. That’s why my teeth didn’t get pulled out before I had braces. So then I had to use braces first. Now that I’m here for almost a week, I can get 4 of my teeth pulled out. One tooth each day basically. 4 days in a row. It may sound pretty scary, and the fact scares me too, but it’s for my own good, I think. XD

So anyway, thank you everyone for reading this and enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE!

Indonesia... Part 2

You may know that now I live in Indonesia and I'm really sad to leave Australia :(

I miss my friends so much and I miss pretty much everyone I know and I hope someday I can meet them again :)

A way I can chat to my friends and communicate is Gmail, Google+ and Instagram. I've also chatted with a few of my friends via FaceTime and Video Call. Its fun and also an awesome way to keep in touch with them!

This is EXTREMELY random but the soft drinks in here are kinda different. Firstly the Coca Cola doesn't even taste like the Coke in Australia... but anyway its alright. And in Australia the Fantas are orange and in here, the Fantas are strawberry flavoured and its red. Its SOOOOOO delicious, trust me. If you ever come by to Indonesia, you have to try it! I also like it because it makes your lips and tongue red. It makes it look like I'm using lipstick except its even better because firstly, its strawberry flavoured and most important of all... it not actual lipstick! Just so you know, I hate lipstick.

Oh and here's something random and disgusting, there are SO MANY stray cats here. Everywhere you look there is a stray cat and its super annoying and disgusting! One gross thing my cousin did was carrying a stray kitten and chasing me while bringing the kitten. ITS SO GROSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Okay I think thats it for now. Thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog,

Easter

Hey everyone, happy Easter! To be honest, I haven't been as excited as the previous years but this year it seems I understand more about Easter and its not only about the Easter Bunny and the chocolate but its about Jesus dying on the cross (Good Friday) and Jesus rising from the dead which is Easter Sunday. In the past, I've seen a few movies/videos about Jesus et cetera... It was pretty cool and it seemed legit. Why? Well the blood seemed real and the nails and also when Thomas thought Jesus was a ghost and whats cool about that is that you could actually see through the wholes from the nails... if it was legit, that would be creepy and probably impossible. But it was possible for God.

So I had Sunday School and it was a Year Prep-to-Six celebration. It was pretty cool. We sang songs, watched videos about Easter and some of the teachers did a play. After that we received food and also a pencil-case which is pretty awesome :D

Some heroes wear capes

Mine wore a cross and a crown made of thorns

❤✞Happy Easter✞❤

Photoshop!

A few days ago, I found out that my uncle has Photoshop!! I've been DREAMING to get Photoshop and to learn to edit photos. When I found out I was so excited and I kinda screamed/squealed...
Yesterday, my uncle taught me a few basic things about Photoshop and at first it was confusing but now I understand.
I really want to be as "pro" as Pewdiepie XD because he makes the funniest and weirdest things on Photoshop! He's really awesome and probably my role model for Photoshopping XD


Down here is my very first MASTERPIECE using Photoshop! As you can see, we have Obama, with his colourful Mexican hat, Grumpy Cat and a random cat with the "Deal With It" sun-glasses and down below it says DEAL WITH IT. Oh and don't forget the fire explosion as the background!Its totally random but I was also experimenting anyway.

 

In the future, I want to study Computer-Art which also involves Photoshopping and I think Final Cut... I've also been DREAMING to get Final Cut!! But I can't afford it right now...

And in the future, I also want to make funny posts using Photoshop and I'm probably going to upload it here. 

Thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog,

First Happy Meal in Indonesia

I know its not a big deal but a few days ago, I had my very first Happy Meal in Indonesia! I decided to write about this because I thought it would be interesting to compare some things.
In here, when you order chicken nuggets, you get 4 instead of 6 nuggets but thats fine, just like in America! Also in here, instead of getting Coca Cola for the drink, you can choose between Fruit Tea or Milo. I chose Milo... because at first I didn't know what the Fruit Tea tasted like... I love Milo anyway! The toys are (I'm pretty sure) different too. I got an "Oh" toy, the alien guy from the movie and also, in here, you get to choose the toy while in Australia, you get what you get and you don't get upset.... actually you can swap if you want... if you want. Anyway, the packaging is a little different I think.
One thing they don't have in ANY McDonalds in Australia are chicken drumsticks. You can also get it in the Happy Meal with rice!!

I don't know which one is better because they're both awesome and who doesn't love a Happy Meal? Anyway thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE!

Final Cut King

So recently, I've been pretty obsessed with a Youtube/Viner called Zach King. He's SUPER awesome and he makes the coolest videos ever! If you haven't seen his videos OR if you don't know him, you should check him out! Click here to go to his Vine Profile... thing... he also has a Youtube Channel called FinalCutKing so click here to go on his Youtube channel.

Right now, Zach King is my role model because he uses Final Cut to edit his videos and he does it REALLY well and also because he's a Christian too... and he plays the piano. If you wanna know more you should watch his Draw My Life video... and the "graphics" thing is awesome too! So here is one of the videos:

His vines are pretty funny and you'll be surprised as you watch each of them.... Here's a video of some of his best vines

I know this may be shorter than usual but anyway thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE!

My Braces

This Friday I went to Makassar to get braces! I didn’t go with my parents but I went with my older cousin. From Surabaya to Makassar, we flew with Garuda Indonesia at night. It was a pretty good flight and I also got a Javanese Rhino plush. Its really soft and its so cute! Anyway, on Friday night, my uncle’s friend picked us up from the airport and went to my uncle’s clinic. Then I met my uncle and his assistants and then we went to my uncle’s house. His house is only one level but it’s actually pretty big. Oh and I’ll tell you what’s weird… he’s got a big bedroom all to himself and he sets his air conditioner to 17 degrees Celsius… weird, I know. When I sleep with my family, it’s a pretty small room and the air conditioner is only 23 degrees… and there’s 4 people, my brother, my dad, my mum and me! Compare that! Okay lets stick to the topic…

On the second day of being in Makassar, I went to my uncle’s clinic and I met my uncle’s other assistants. Then my uncle’s assistants checked my cousin’s teeth and braces first. When he was done, it was my turn. I was pretty scared because I thought that they were gonna pull out my teeth… and they were suppose to pull out 4 of my teeth. But then they didn’t and that’s because I might’ve been too young or something so they put the braces right away! While they were putting it on, it didn’t really hurt actually. But the thing that did hurt was the suction thingy magic. It pretty much sucks your saliva since you have to open your mouth for a while.. it kinda stung. Something that also hurt was this thing that gave purple light… it felt like a light bulb in my mouth, it was really hot and it stung!! My uncle’s assistant said “Is it hot?” in Indonesian and I said “Yea”… actually it wasn’t just hot, it felt like it was burning!! But I didn’t want to make them worried or anything so I kept silent. Once it was done… well it only hurt a bit so I thought it was fine, but NOW, IT HURTS SO BADLY!! The good thing is that they gave this kind of medicine to prevent the pain temporarily. It’s a little bit bitter but its fine.

Since I’ve got braces, I can’t eat properly for a few days… I can only eat soft things like porridge or soup or (really soft) noodles… That’s all I’ve eaten so far… and also fried rice but it took me a long while to eat. I have also tried eating chocolate pudding. It feels good to be able to bite something soft, why? Because all the things I have listed other than pudding, I have to swallow without chewing. It’s pretty uncomfortable but I can manage it.

Did you know?

Right now, I like to go on the internet and read funny and interesting facts... its actually pretty fun and may be better than watching YouTube... I mean, it is more educational than most things on YouTube. The only people/things I watch on Youtube are Pewdiepie, Smosh, Markiplier, Superwoman, grav3yardgirl et cetera and those aren't even educational!

Recently, Ive been saying a lot of Did you know?s and my mum is getting annoyed... She thinks the facts aren't true but IT IS! One of the facts was The first president of Zimbabwe was President Banana. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing! My mum, aunty and uncle said why was I ROFLing.. I showed the the post and my mum said.. NO thats not true and my aunty said Thats racist! To prove that its real, I searched up President Banana on Google and it came up! His first name was Canaan and his last name was Banana. Canaan Banana. And then my aunty laughed with me... And there you have it folks! If you don't believe me, search up President Banana on Google! XD

Down below are some facts... these are some very good ones and its pretty interesting:

Last but not least...
