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

What a Week !

Last tuesday, I had another dinner with Kaoru and Hideki at Denny's near my home. According to the doctor, Kaoru is going to give birth on 17th next month. You know, I was touched when they asked me to choose the Kanji for their daughter. I was really honored. Really. Perhaps our next meeting would be after the birth. I am still thinking of what to buy for them. Hmm...

My sister called me and she's already registered. And to my surprise, one of their friends gave them a digital camera from Fuji, and she told me not to buy a new one anymore (well, I actually already fell in love with the one from Nikon, but looks like I have to give it up ).

Last monday, I saw one programme on tv about one guy without arms and legs, but a very great and successful guy. He is a Japanese and called Ototake Hirotada from Tokyo. He was graduated from one of Japan's most prestigious university, Waseda University, majoring in Politics and Economics. I really admire his courage in spite of being a disabled person. And now, motivated by the idea that there are some things that only a disabled person can do, he became actively involved in a campaign for "barrier-free" society.
I even bought his book, called " No One's Perfect" or in Japanese is " ŒÜ‘Ì•s–ž‘«�h. I am still reading it ( I think in two days time, I'd be able to finish it). I bought it yesterday and ever since, I read it on the trains (which some thing I wouldn't do before, I always got attracted away when reading on the trains, but this book really catches my attention, I must say )
PS: at first, I would like to find the Japanese version of this book ( it's actually cheaper than the English one ) but then I remembered last time I bought about " Toto Chan, The Girl Next to The Window " and until now I still not finish it.

Today, I spoke with my Indian friend, Khim san. I went up to her room because it's already one month we didn't see each other and this afternoon, she send me email. So, we just talked and how she wanted to go to Shanghai. Then, she also asked me about the relationships between the Indonesian-Chinese and native-Indonesian in Indonesia. I told her the truth that we actually don't mingle with each other. In one point, she said that I look like a mix between the native and the chinese. Wow ! You see, perhaps that she doesn't know other Indonesians except me and Henry ( fyi, Henry totally has a chinese face, I mean the " the strips eyes" ) and I do have bigger eyes than other chineses, so she was questioned about it even when the first time she saw me. Nah !

I finally had my summer's hair cut. I was confused whether to perm it or cut it, but in the end decided to cut it 5 cm shorter. I love my long hair, and it's just my first time to keep such a long hair in my life. But when I get bored, I tried to make some changes to my hair. And now, with much shorter hair, I guess I am ready to face the summer. Haha...

These recent weeks I am always thinking of going back to Jakarta as soon as my school ends. I guess that probably I am bored with no friends here, and I still have to work to keep surviving, so it gets tiring by each day. I don't want to complain about my works, afterall I've been working only for less than 2 months, how could I complain? I shouldn't ! Perhaps all I need now is only a vacation ! Hah !

It's strange but true, all of my classmates including me have the same thinking on one thing. We feel the most happiest moment when we're at school. When it's about the time for working, every body feels like wanting to complain. But it's really true. I do very enjoy my times at school, never felt like school that much before. Haha...
