Alvaniacs, Her Viewpoints and Some Other Stuffs
Yellow there!
Ehm.
It's been a while since I wrote a long posting in proper English, apparently.
hee hee..
Well, it might take longer than a while for the mood to hit my head *duh*
But before we proceed to the serious subject, I'm eager to say...
hari ini hasil UTS interna udah keluar! hihiihihi
senang sekali, yang saya kira nasi goreng asal-asalan
(baca
di sini )
eh, ternyata sesuai selera dosennya
(bukannya saya ngatain selera dosennya cheapy ya.. hohoho)
pas dibilangin nilainya udah keluar, udah siap mental baca angka sekitar 60-70an gitu.. huhu
jreng, jreng, jreng.. 82! hohoho
Sukur alhamdullilah puji Tuhaaaannn~
ini berarti saya masih dapet straight A (yeaaapp, bloody straight A)
hee hee hee!!!
*senang, senang, senang !*
mencret? siapa takut??
(duhhh.. bukannya nantangin ujian sambil mencret lagi juga.. huhuhu tok tok tokkk)
ya, pokoknya begitulah!
EHM.
enough intermezzo.
Okay, I find myself kind of engaged in a certain matter in these couple of months.
It started in Syd when my cousin lent me her book titled "Conversations With God" by Neale Donald Walsch
(I forget which one of the 7 series... hmm)
Anw, and I can't find any of those books in Jakarta
sooo if you're considering buying me some early birthday gifts...
(HAA HAA HAAA...)
I only had the chance to read the first three chapters (which was enough to mesmerized me already..)
Then a couple of weeks ago, my Engish course teacher happened to have me summarize a similar (if not almost identical) matter... *hmmmmm*
Walsch (or God character, in his book) utters that the one thing human treasures so much that he's willing to sacrifice almost anything for is to be right.
It is as if to be right is the ultimate consolation.
In my english course lecture, Karen Armstrong states that, even the religious leaders prefer to be right to to be compassionate towards others.
Armstrong reveals that we live in a world where religion's been hijacked, where religious scripture is used to justify atrocity.
What moved me the most is what Armstrong pointed out in her speech, that the golden rule of all religion is
"not to do to the others what you won't have the others do to you" -to be compassionate- and that the rest of the teaching is commentary.
It is when one is able to empathize with other, one detaches himself from the center of his life and puts another person in there.
Ergo, he may put a mysterious presence in that center, often referred as God.
Supposedly one has a heart big enough to consider may be he isn't always right, this world may have a slightly brighter future.
May be it can start with me (us?).
Karen Armstrong's video is accessible in TED talks' website.
(borrowing Adrian Monk's word: it's googleable!)

Alvaniacs Ask a Question..
hmm..
a perfectionist.
Simply know what the big thing is, or
incurably insatiable, or
hardly appreciating what she/ he has, or
merely looking for a perfection?
For me, it’s just sometimes the hard ones are what the heart wants :(
A wise former-colleague said that if you can’t control your heart, teach it to understand.
Unfortunately, I and my heart apparently are slow-learner (s) in that particular issue.
Anybody care to tutor us?

Alvaniacs and Mid-term tests
hyuhu...
duh, uts belom officially over..
tapi berhubung nih ada lowong 2 hari, jadi berasanya udahan.. HAHA
duooohhh.. uts bikin kepala mo jebol!
sebenernya (harusnya!) uts kali ini ga seberat uts-uts semester sebelomnya
soalnya, gwe kan 'cuma' ambil 8 subjects.. biasanya 12-13an gitu
(ya! maruk memang nama tengah saya! haha)
ah.. nyatanya ya gitu... mabok-maboknya pas belajar sami mawon
yang seru tuh pas senen kemaren.. farmakologi n kulkel
wah, beneran deh... otak kayak udah mo mejret jret...
bahannya itu loh bo... segudang abis
mana ujiannya pagi lagi
kalo siangan dikit aja.. kan lumayan masih ada waktu pagi-pagi buat belajar lagi
baru pegang diktat kulkel aja jam setengah 11 malem
(itu aja farmakologinya belom tuntas tas tas... )
biar deh, soalnya farmako kan yg ngajar 5 dosen
gwe pikir, asal gwe ngelotok di 4 dosen itu... 1 dosen direlain aja..
paling-paling A masih dapet (mampus deh, overpede.. hahaha)
lah, yang kulkel ini... (kulit-kelamin)
pegang diktatnya aja belom pernah!
wong dosennya cuma masuk 3 kali gitu (yang 1 kali cuma 10 menitan pula!)
huehuheuhe...
ntar deh, liat hasilnya
tapi paling kuciwa mah sama Interna...
gimance dong.. malemnya ga enak badan, jadi udah tidur sebelom belajar
pagi-pagi mo belajar.. eh.. mencret-mencret... dudul deh
ni perut ga bsia diajak kompromi
sebenernya bukannya ga bisa sih,
tapi ga perfect aja
ibaratnya nih ya... biasanya gwe jawab pertanyaan ujian tuh
kayak masak nasigoreng spesial! pake telor, timun, tomat. masih ditata segala
(kalo essay, jawaban bisa sepanjang jalan kenangan gitu..)
tapi pas kemaren interna..
nasigoreng nya asal jadi
ga pake telor lah, timun apalagi tomat
ga kelupaan kasi garem sama lada aja udah bagus!
yah, harus disyukuri,
paling engga masih jadi nasi gorengnya... hahaha
(hey! I'm just looking for perfection!)
oh iya, di les Inggris saya dapet lecture ttg religion nih
bagus.. tapi ntar deh postingnya.. haha.. males mikir yang berat-berat dulu
..
kemaren abis ujian Oral Biology III
langsung cabut ke TA sama Pia, Heidi, Kodok, Andi n Shal
aduh, seneng banget gwe
udah lama ga pada jalan bareng.. udah lama juga ga ke TA
(heh.. udah kayak anak pingitan deh gwe.. udik..)
nonton The Forbidden Kingdom nya Jet n Jackie... hihihi..
plotnya sih bisa ditebak
(sepanjang felm, gwe n shal jadi mama loren a la XXI gitu..)
tapi scene nya banyak yang lucu... :P
sangat lumayan untuk menjernihkan otak yang keruh abis ujian
yah, berhubung gwe duduk di antara temen-temen gwe yang ga mo kalah dari sun go kong nya jet li (gitu deh, kita kayak mongki.. hihihi)
sepanjang felm gwe juga ketawa ekstra..
kayak waktu jet li pake kuda putih, pake kerudung n cadar putih gitu..
tau-tau si andi bilang
'ehhh.. ada gandallf...'ga lama shal nyaut....
'tep... kok ada ayat-ayat cinta di sini? tu si aisyah lagi naek kuda ye...'muehhe... all in all.. senang sekali lah kemaren..
cape tapi seneng..
sayangnya gwe musti balik duluan
abis masih ada les gini... laoshi gwe di rumah mo dikemanain dong? haha
yang laen dengan curangnya pada nginul
(karaoke di inul vizta) ahhhh!!!!!!!!!
iri berat deh... sial...
huhu.. gitu deh
