KoO's hangout

Had the first and the last hangout of KoP for this month. We should have started our hangout at 1 pm, but then the rain was pouring quite some time, so we postponed it till 1.30. Wisely fetched me around 2, and we arrived at Sun Plaza around 2.30. Helen was waiting us there, hahax. As usual, the latest creature, who is Yulie, was late again == She came 5 mins after Wisely and me arrived. Then, we decided to have our lunch at Itcho Sushi. Hahax, only 4 persons, but our convos were just like 10 people were talking XD We had our lunch and started to talk, share, and laugh. They told many stories while I wasn't, maybe that is my nature already. The only one who had the most stories was Wisely, seems like he could share many things and 2 hours weren't enough XD After that, we left that place and went to Gramedia to look for several things. The last thing and the most time consuming thing that we did was finding another place to sit and drink. We were like lost sheeps which couldn't find any suitable place to sit XD During our search, we were 'caught' by Bella's family. So, we talked with them for several minutes and continued our search after we departed with them. Finally, we found Rachel's Recipe, a small café to sit. The drinks, errrr, not that good. Stupidly I ordered Milo which was 14000 IDR and only 1000 IDR 1 sachet outside there == We took some photos there and played our game on Helen's Ipad, King of Opera! After some time, we decided to end our hangout day, and went home.

Hmm, quite some time not posting things like this. I'm glad that I can still hangout with them =) But, something's really lost between me and Wisely. It's not like we used to be, where we can talk about many things during our way to any place. Maybe because we already have a different orientation, and we rarely meet. I miss those days when we can share many things, but then it won't happen anymore I guess. Haaah, the most important thing for me is that we can still be best friend, we can still talk and help each other. That's all...

The 2nd time


Yuhu~ Gonna pour all of things that happened for the last 3 days. It's April and same with last year, my buddy from Jogja asked me once again to help him to become the committee for region of Medan of his university's competition. Actually I didn't wanna join this year, as the day after the competition was the first day of my exam. So, I tried to help him by asking help from other friends. Actually I got around 3 people to help him, but he said that he needed 6 people this time. After several days of searching and knew that CT also volunteered, then I decided to volunteer myself after some consideration. In the end, there were 5 people who volunteered, me, CT, Lupe, Aciwe and Alvin.

Then he asked us to online through Skype to talk about something. This time is different, he couldn't go back to Medan, as he had exams for becoming lab assistant. So, he asked one of his friend to substitute him. He introduced him to us through Skype. As usual, we laughed a lot when we had our chat through Skype, although I couldn't speak or laugh because my sis had slept XD
We (minus Alvin) gathered at our lovely school two days before the competition, and there we met his friend, named Kevin Paul Johanes. First impression, quite a quite person. But then he could blend well with us. Maybe he is the same type as me, hahax XD We had to meet our ex-principal, to talk about the competition. Just to talk for 5 minutes, we had to wait for more than 2 hours == We gathered again the day before the competition, as we had a technical meeting to prepare ourselves for the competition.

Well, now I wanna give some feedback about him as the leader of the committee this time. I think that he is quite autocratic in assigning duties for all of us. Not only that, he is not a flexible person. He kept on using the guides given by my buddy. Yes, the guides are important, but it shouldn't make him to become not flexible. But then I can't blame him on being autocratic, because he knew us just 2 days and he didn't know anything about us. It will be different if my buddy leads the team, because he has known us for years.

On the competition day, we were kinda late in starting the competition, as the participants were late == We used two classes only this time, as the participants were only 45 people. So, each class had 3 committees inside. I was paired with Kevin and CT. When he started with all of those opening thingy, I was a lil' bit surprise that he talked less than what it should be, and his voice was quite soft. Maybe it was because he lacked of confidence in talking to public, but he really tried his best. He was also a strict exam invigilator. He wrote on the event report the participants who were indicated of cheating. The funny part was that he wrote 'Number 32, 34 and 36 are having a conspiration ...' Hahax, conspiration XD Well, he asked us whether we wanted to eat something during the competition, because he bought snacks and drinks for us. How kind he is =D When the competition time was over, we moved to our lovely base, the High School administration office to correct the exam paper. We finished it quickly because 4 people corrected the paper. But we had to wait for about 2 hours for the results, as we had to wait for other regions also == After that, he announced the result to the participant, captured some photos with the winner, then they went home. We went back to our base and captured several nice photos XD I'll post them at the bottom. We also had to wait for the winners' decisions whether they.wanted to go to Jogja or not for 1 hour == And they wanted it. Then, we went to Food Print café to eat!!! At last, I could fill my growling stomach XD We had chit-chat and laughs at that place. Then, we decided to go home.

Haah, one thing is that it's a pleasure to become the committee for the second time =) Another thing is that I can meet a new friend. I dunno how he is when he is with my buddy at Jogja, but I really think that his type is kinda like mine, has to find suitable people to activate the 'real' side of himself XD By joining this event also taught me that my anxiety was too over, and God made all of it beautiful in His time. I did well on my final exam today =) It was just like a dream, passed too quickly =)


The committee for this year!

Us with certificate of appreciations =D

Narcism time is needed XD

Boston Art Competition!

Phew, finally this project has been over! Yesterday was the big day. I had arrived at my campus around 9, and found no one except the security men == Then I waited about 10 mins and the man who promised us to help opening the all rooms that we needed came. 2 of my friends came also, 1 of them hijacked her bro and driver to help us XD The 'good' thing was the class who used the hall didn't take out all the chairs, and..... we had to take out yesterday == Even before the event we had been tired already. Finally, one by one came and we prepared everything that should be prepared. Boys were doing the hardest thing, which was moving second floor's tables to the hall, meanwhile the girls doing the photograph thingy. Luckily, maybe the campus officials called the office boys and girls to help us. If not, maybe we would late to prepare all of them.

I was like crazy people who ran here and there to make sure everything's okay. No time to sit until the competition started. Fortunately, many people came, even our Managing Director and the Head of the Association came. Kinda honored by their presence =) Our lecturer came an hour after the competition had started. Haah, she was wanted because we needed her to sign the certificates for the judges and winners. She was watching around, and I didn't know what she was doing until the end of our event. I was just to busy to solve probs that happened during the competition. Yeah, even the event had started, probs were there. From the judging results, participants' parents nags, participants' silly acts, and so on. Hufh, we could solve it well I guess. Well, we could do it till the end! After the event had over, we took some pics together, also with our lecturer. Our lecturer said "Good job!" Haaah, kinda satisfied and happy XD Another important thing was, we didn't need to move back all those tables and chairs! Thanks God for that XD Although we made loss, but the loss was not that much, not more than 15,000 IDR per person. Not bad for an amateur event B)

Well, I really learnt a lot from this project. First, of course the team work. Because of this project, we really meet together to discuss and solve problems that arise. We also can take initiative to do something, not just waiting somebody's command. I also learnt to communicate, not only to my classmates, but also to outside people. I usually don't talk too much with some classmates, but because of this project, I talk to them a lot XD Then, I'm a typical of talking to strangers. But, because of this project, I have to. I did the telemarketing, I did talk to the campus officials, and other people. I also learnt how to manage a team, although I was just the co-leader. It was hard, because this event was quite big, and many things were needed to be prepared. I needed to brainstorm everyday, to think out things that needed to be prepared for the day. Last thing is, how to be tolerate to each other. There were 'frictions' in our team, I knew that, and that is when we need to tolerate to each other. Fortunately, those 'frictions' didn't mess up our team work.

Haaah, I'm really glad that this event went well and was over. I really thank God for His blessings for this project. It really taught me that everything will be beautiful in His time =) But, we need to write an essay about this project == Hufh, this lecturer is seriously wanna make us busy all along...
