Jakarta = My Hometown

My hometown is definitely Jakarta, it is where I was born, my whole family, and all four of my grandparents. I lived in that crowded, beautiful city until I was 9 years old, then I moved here, Kuala Lumpur. Now let's get to the point should we? In humanities class, we made presentations on cities that we call as our hometown, well as I told you before I chose Jakarta, Indonesia.


I think the best thing I've done in my presentation was how I interact with my classmates to present, it's because as I saw their eyes looking at me they seemed to be very focused on my presentation. Also, my voice and the way I send the information using eye contact and hand gestures makes it more interesting. About my Power-point slide, I think it is great but one piece I need to make better might be adding pictures of maps / place of where exactly it is and the surroundings. 


I learned that my preparation of practicing is way to little looking at some of my friends presenting freely without looking at the projector. So it's the same meaning that I wasn't fully ready, and because I wasn't ready, I had to look at the screen. Sometimes I force myself not to look at the screen, which was actually worse. It will make nervous feelings, it made pauses a lot more frequent. So next time if I need more time practicing, I would want to make a notecard to keep me going.


From all I thought, my performance wasn't that great but something that makes it a lot less boring is my awesome facts that many people didn't know. Jakarta is the capital and biggest city in Indonesia, even more it was very popular for trading in the old time. So moreover from that, I think Jakarta the big, famous, cultural city itself help most of my work other than some of my friends which took little cities that didn't have much popularity nor money.


Wondering how my presentation looked like? Here is the link, check it OOUUUTTT!

It's 2011 What Do I Want To Accomplish???

Many people in this world always think about anything they want to do better or what they want to learn doing for the next 365 days as in their New Years Resolution. Well so do I, my New Years Resolution is too much I can't even write down all of it. Although, I can pick up some of the most important ones for you! New Years Resolution can be for any cause, it can be for more learning, to get friends, to be nice, even to overcome fears.

Okay now, time to start telling you my resolutions.
I really want to start knowing my religion allot more, because at my age it's very embarrassing to not know those things. My friends in Indonesia have already started to do the whole every single prayer each day, and I don't even know all of the basic things. Even worse, Muslims should have done all the prayer since they're 10! That's why I desperately need to learn them from my family.

I like how it feels when I started to know English. So, this year I want to focus with my Spanish class so that I can talk all the basic things in that language. A part of why I wanted to do that is because; on the holidays I went to France with my brothers, cousins and an aunt, not many people can speak English in Paris. Luckily, my aunt Milda can speak 7 languages! That includes French, I was amazed how speaking other languages is very important. It's why I want to focus on Spanish. But I still want to learn more languages when I get older.

Want to hear about my holidays? Well sure! It was just a normal holiday, there were very fun and awesome memories. For the first week I went to Jakarta, it was great meeting my old friends, cousins and my beloved grandmother. The next week I spent time in Kuala Lumpur with my whole family except one of my biggest brother Jossi, we had barbeque in my apartment for the first time inviting both of my sisters boyfriends. Those dudes made it so much more fun! We booked the ping-pong table and the tennis court so that everyone can at least do something if they're bored. But it turned out everybody was swimming because apparently people were pushing others into the pool. Although, the next day I had to travel third of the whole world. Europe.


The trip to Europe by the way, is not so cool because everyone started getting sick including me. I hate the 14 hours flight, moreover from the 3 hours waiting time in the transit. I think the best experiences during the holidays was the new years eve festival at Berlin, German. I loved it so much cause I am a big dan of fireworks, the fireworks turned on were very round and beautiful. Another fun event was skiing! That was the first time I went to do something so fun but scary, I was going so fast the wind sounded loud going like ''bshuhhggrrggsshrgr''. Try opening just a little of your car window when it is going fast, then you'll hear it. The bad view is that I fell down so bad and I was dragged down along the snowy mountain, from my brothers accident mine is surely 100 times worse.
