Rekaman Soundwave *cerita lama*

     Cerita ini sih should be written in English, tapi karna lagi buntu, dan bakal menambah lama pengisian blog ini, jadi aku tulis dalam bahasa Indonesia, hehehe.
     Once upon a time (cieilaah) barakatak angklung mau rekaman dalam rangka soundwave concert. Studionya berlokasi di dekat sekolahku, which is Bukit Merah, jadi aku memutuskan untuk berangkat sendiri  dari sekolah ke studio. Untungnya (atau sialnya) hari itu kelasku pulang lebih awal, jadi aku langsung ambil langkah seribu menuju bus stop.
     Berbekal peta lokasi di kamera dan notes di handphone aku siap berangkat! Beruntung aku nggak tersesat di perjalanan menuju bus stop pertama ^.^v tapi tetap saja di perjalanan menuju studio aku tersesat -_- (emang pada dasarnya disoriented :p) Hawa udara yang sangat panas menambah kering tenggorokanku, karna saat itu aku sedang puasa, rasanya menyiksaaaa sekali, huuff. Setelah berjalan berputar-putar, aku tidak lagi menggantungkan nasib pada kamera dan handphone melainkan lebih kepada insting :p akhirnya aku pun sampai di kawasan studio, hohooo.
     Saat itu jam menunjukkan pukul 3.15 PM, masih 45 menit dari jadwal berkumpul, what should I do?? Aku memberanikan diri menekan bel di ruang studio, beberapa menit kemudian pintu dibuka,
      "excuse me, I am the angklung member.."
      "OMG, so fast, we still have another person, hmm... maybe you can wait at the canteen :)"
      "hmm.. okay then.." mati! batinku, kenapa pula harus di kantin -_-
     Ku putuskan untuk menunggu saja di depan lift. 20 menit kemudian, akhirnya ku temukan bala kurawaku yang lainnya, ada tante Listie and the gang, kami pun berjalan menuju kantin bersama.
     Tepat pukul 4 pm kami naik ke lantai 5 (atau berapa aku lupa) dan memasuki studio rekaman. Wow, jadi begini rasanya jadi artis *.* Sudah dapat dipastikan kami akan mengambil banyak sekali foto, hehehe.
     Dimulai dengan pemanasan, dan memainkan full song. Hari ini spesial, grup angklung punya 2 dirijen, hehehe, om Ayah dan pak Budi, pak Budi bagian pengiring, om Ayah bagian melodi, hehe. So far semua berjalan lancar, rekaman diambil sebanyak 3 sesi. Yang pertama suara 1, yang kedua suara 2 dan 3, dan yang terakhir hanya anak2 SIS. Kereeeen *.* Oh ya disitu juga ada bapak-bapak yang bisa ngomong bahasa melayu dan cina (of course english juga) namanya Isakandar (yang aku baru sadar di akhir rekaman, kalo itu adalah pengaransemen lagu yang kita mainkan, gubrak -_-)
     Rekaman di tutup dengan foto-foto dan rebutan tanda tangannya pak Iskandar, heheheh. Waktunya pulang, aku tadinya bakal pulang sendiri (hla wong biasane yo bali dewe) hehe, tapi tante teacher nggak tega dan bingung nyariin temen, sampe pada keputusan aku dianterin om Ayah sampe bus stop. Tapi ternyata tante Puncel milih naik MRT barengan aku, jadinya ditemenin tante Puncel deh :D
     "wah, ayah nggak jadi bawa anak gadis," kata tante teacher, hehehehe, ada ada aja deh :D aku seneng ikut grup angklung :))

SGD 80,000

One day, my teacher ask us in our economic class.

"What will you do if someone gives you 80,000 Singapore dollars?"

A lot of different answer from different person, there is one person who wants to invest most of the money, use them for a wedding party, and others. And my answer for this question is:

1. I want give one third of them to a charity (which is I know will be very difficult in a 'real' live, but this is a sunnah Rasul)
2. I'll use the 50,000 SGD to start a business and invest some of it.
3. I'll spend the rest of them for my daily life :)

I know I'm not an expert yet, so it's not the best answer (in my teacher's opinion) in the class, even some of my friends give me a 'mocking' look. But I believe that : the more you give the more you get :)

Presentation class

Actually, I was really lazy to go to school today, firstly because today's subject was Study skill. And secondly, I was still tired from my haevy day yesterday. After teaching the whole day I watched a really cool movie with the title : Di Dalam Lindungan Ka'bah by Buya Hamka. The leading actor in this movie is really handsome and he played his role well :D you should watch this movie. 
     But then, I don't know what  on earth that make me go to school. Luckily I can sit along the way to  school so I don't feel tired (usually when we take MRT in the morning -- peak hours -- we will be forced to stand along the way) 
     In class, we study about the body language, wow, my teacher is an expert on that. I only know that if someone is wearing watch in his right hand, that means he's left-handed, hehehe. 
     After the confusing session about the body language, Mr. Potato (sorry teacher I forgot your name XD) take a look at  our picture (he ask us to choose one picture which we really want to know the 'truth'). Actually there is one picture I wanna him to guess, that's my big family's picture, but I'm just too shy to ask him to do so. 
     Until suddenly he asked me, "Nurul, is there any picture that you really wanna me to take a look at it? - notice that you've been  looking at your phone for a long time" 
     I guess he could read my body language especially my face is just like someone's  saying: if you don't want to it's okay. 
     "Okay then, whatever you said." 
    And there it is he took a look at my pict, and he told  me all the things he knows. There was one thing about my aunt's relationship that is (even) way beyond my imagination :o ... no it's not that my aunt is a lesbian T-T :p 
     Next session was more like consultation, we talked with him one on one and we told him everything we wanna share with him, about our problem in class, at  home, everything. And this was just the right time to say about my problem.... friends. Do you wanna know his answer? He just said, "for me, I don't need any friend, because I'm smart so every problem I face, I will find the answer, if I want to share my problem I will share it with my doll. So don't worry about friendship anymore :)" jreeeeeng. Okay, I'm smart and I think I  always be, so  I won't need to worry about it again. Beside that, we also talked about my parent's job. He said he wanted to meet my father, when I told him that  he is a trainer, just like him. 
     Lunch break, I really didn't know what I to do. I supposed to go for lunch but I don't like to have lunch alone... (but I'm still eating though :p) 
     In the end of this day was  Presentation time, we were supposed to present about our favourite person. I choose my sister ^.^ omooo~ She must be happy now :p 
     As  I just learned this morning that we'll have a presentation today, so I just made it simple, okay, it's a little bit creepy -_- 
    OMO, I cannot understand this teacher's mind, he asked me to become the third speaker o.o I'm really nervous. I forget what I wanna say >< Finally in feedback session, my teacher asked me, 
     " are you inherenting your parent's talent?" 
     "hehehe" 
     "your presentation is so lively and your voice is also loud, and you have that great smile" 
     "thank you :3" 
     "if you do this with a good content then it will be an 'A' presentation!" 
     "thanks" I can only say this. 
     "what do u think u do great?" 
     "I have a great smile! :)" 
     "good, you can sit now.." 
     A lot of other speakers also did well , hmm... I just know now that I have a lot of great speaker friends, hehehe. 
     In the end, my teacher asked, "whose presentation do you think is the best?" suddenly no one answer ..... hmm, "do you remember that I said if Nurul's presentation have a good content then it will be an 'A' presentation, and Jenny's presentation is just so touchy, and ...bla...bla..bla... And I think Nurul's is the best for today!" 
     waaaa, I really could not believe it :o I was so  surprise and happy! >< 
     "And you will get this amazing USB for the reward, tadaaaaa.." 
wow...wow...wow... What an honour ^^ Finally it's not useless at all to go to school today XD 
  
This is my experience, tell me yours ;)
