Sleepy and Sleep

I am feeling very sleepy alrieady, but i promise myself that I have to write something in my blog today. I took some bread and washed my face to keep myself ON, at least for 5 minutes.

Ok, so just few updates of what i am busy of these days..

Medan is going to be the host for ASEAN Youth Camp 2009. It is an annual event for all youth in ASEAN region to meet. So, there will be many participants coming from Malaysia, Thailand etc. The agenda is to have cross culture among the ASEANist.

So, I am involved in welcoming the participants and performing culture of Medan. Isn't that great? Yes, ofcourse. Me and my friends from PCMI (Yaya, Dini, Suci, Dian and Adi) plan to sing traditional songs. But the problem is, we need to practise on everyday's evening for next week. Huh, tough thing to do.
Anyway, as the ciggarette adv. says : Enjoy aja -), so just enjoy.

Whuuuaaa....
I am sleepy already, and I just realize that it is already in the early morning of the next day, huh. I didn't make it!!

Ok, then. I'll zzleeppzzz....

My First..

In every situation, 'first' always makes us nervous. For me, having the first thing or facing a new condition at the first time might make me feel excited and afraid at the same time.

Just like the first time when I went by plane to Yogya. I didn't know how but I felt so happy and so scared. Happy because that was my first flight and scared because I didn't know the situation yet.

I kinda had this feeling again when I went to Arau Open Debate in UiTM Perlis, Malaysia last week. It was my first time going abroad and feeling a new atmosphere of debate competition. The night before I went there, I could not sleep well.

Some might say that it is weird, but I guess we all feel the same thing when we have our 'first'. Some might work hard to deny the feeling they are having in this situation, but hang on friends, it's normal, very much normal.

However, some people feel afraid of having their 'first'. They prefer to stay still rather than having a new thing, in which they think that they are not ready for that. Somehow these people think that the new condition will bring them to a worse situation that they cant stand. Infact, this new thing will actully bring betterment for them.

Let's take an example: a friend of mine was in relationship with a man for 2 years. My friend started to complain when her boyfriend became possessive that she could not stand, but she is afraid to break the relationship for she would not ready to loose him. Infact, she realized that this couldn't go longer. Then, she made a decision with all consequences it takes. She made up her mind that she was ready for a new life with a new status. And at the end, she broke up with her boyfriend.

Finally, I want to say : "First is not always easy, but it is never that difficult though". Just be ready and prepare ourselves for every new thing we will face!! Cheers ^_^

Book, book, and book!

Mmmm,

Today, I just went back from Gramedia Grand Palladium, a famous bookstore in my city. I was very excited to buy books there since Gramedia is having the Grand Opening and giving 30 % discount for all items (exluding electronics).

I went there with Catherine and Novi. We went there after having paper presentation in State University of Medan (UNIMED). Wow!! Lots of books were displayed and sold! Too bad, I only bought 2 novels (my budget was not enough, TT).

Here are the title of novels I bought:
The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I am one of the fan for Coelho collection, so I bought one. Wish I had more budget to buy books..

Actually, I want to make a library so right now I am collecting books. This is my project. Not that much, I still have 25 listed books (the rest is gone by the wind, hehe).

That's why, anytime I have money, I buy books. And, at this very big moment, where Gramedia is having discount (which seldom happens), I have limited budget, huh!

But, it's ok lah. Buying two novels are better than buying nothing. Hope during this week (the discount is for a week from June 3rd - 9th), miracles happen, hehe..

So, guys.. If you want to support me and my project, you can donate books. I would certainly welcome you with my open arms ^_^..

Thanks for reading my blog..
