Enyt's Blog

I started to write this blog in 2002 when I was still living in Osaka. This blog is more about my life abroad, my past and my present.

Name:
Location: New York, New York, United States

November is my fav month. I was born in Indonesia 28 years ago and currently living in New York. In the city of no close friends, i spend most of my leisure time at the gym and bookstores and yet i am neither muscular nor a nerd..: ) I take life as it is, i try to get as much as from life experiences while i am still young. I've been given a lot of opportunities to spend my life abroad, my inside curiosity is like a three years old kid. Give me the world, i'll give you my heart. :P

Pre Moving and Doll Festival

What a day! Got up at 8am and then went together with Henry to the new house, put three suitcases of stuffs ( two are belong to Henry ) and then he went to work, left me to unpack. Cleaned the refrigerators, kitchen and wardrobe; and then returned to home again to take another suitcase of mine. Unpacked all summer clothes and then cleaned the toilet. Now I am so tired after 6 hours of moving around. The rest of stuffs (such as two books shelves, one TV, one video player, two bicycles, cooker and microwave plus kitchen�fs stuffs, etc) will be moved on next Sunday.

I did a little moving today just because I don�ft have much time anymore since I just realized that I only have 6 days of studying before my exams. I am panic and worried about the exams (it is really my fault that I spent too much time on playing and watching TV).

I paid a visit to one foreign student from Cambodia who lives on the same floor with me at that apartment. I wanted to ask him about the payment stuffs and bla bla bla since he already moved in last month. He seems to be a nice person and offered me a help if I need any.
You see, there are four foreign students living in that apartment. Me, Nak (the Cambodian guy), Yamani (the Malaysian guy) and Him Sika (the Indian girl). We got this apartment together with the help of Yamashita san. Well, I guess at least I won�ft feel so lonely later.

In Japan�fs calendar, today is the Doll festival �k‚ЂÈ�Õ‚è�l Families with daughters celebrate March 3 by displaying hina dolls on a stepped shelf to express the wish of their daughers�f good healths and growth. The dolls are dressed in gorgeous kimono modeled after those worn by women in the ancient Heian court. Hina (Empress) and dairi (Emperor) sit on the top shelf, followed by sannin-kanjo (three ladies of the court), gonin-bayashi (five court musicians), zuishin (escorts) and eji (guards). Diamond-shaped rice cakes, sweets, and white sake are also displayed. I asked my sensei and she said that this festival is only celebrated at home, not in public.
