A Gift

A Gift

Do you like it, Dad? :')

I hope I could make it sooner, much sooner, so you could help me. You know, you're really good at drawing. :) It's really hard to draw people -___-.

How is it, Dad? I do have some talents, right? Hehehe.

Now I can draw better, my friends told me so. I learned a lot from you. You looked the coolest when you're painting or drawing ^^.

Now, I'm just realizing I never made something for you. :( So, this is what I made today. I think I still need to learn and practice more :[

I hope you like it :') and please accept it as a belated gift from me.

Love you, Papa.

New Release: Ein Wunder

Hai, Temans! :))

Gue bikin satu blog baru. Yuk, mari dilihat, tinggal klik tab di atas. ^^

Apa itu "Ein Wunder"? 

Ein Wunder artinya mukjizat dalam bahasa Jerman.

Gue berencana untuk share setiap mukjizat yang gue terima setiap hari, sekecil atau sesepele apapun itu. Gue percaya, sebenernya kita memperoleh mukjizat setiap harinya. Tapi tekadang kita nggak menyadari mukjizat-mukjizat dan berkat kecil, yang kelihatan sepele.

Maka, gue ingin mengingatkan kita semua untuk terus bersyukur atas setiap hal yang kita terima. Gue pun masih belajar untuk selalu bersyukur. :) Dengan bersyukur, kita akan hidup lebih positif dan optimis.

Bertekunlah dalam doa dan dalam pada itu berjaga-jagalah sambil mengucap syukur.

-Kolose 4: 2

Sekedar info, gue akan menulis dalam bahasa Inggris di Ein Wunder, tujuannya untuk tetap melatih bahasa Inggris gue yang mulai semaput. Selain itu, gue juga berharap sharing cerita gue bisa mencangkup publik lebih luas. :D

Ein Wunder hanya akan berisi cerita-cerita pendek tentang berkat yang gue terima dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Jadi jangan takut, gue nggak bakal se-random di "Ujung Pena" :P. Hal-hal random dan kegalauan gue, akan tetap gue tulis di "Ujung Pena". Yep, I'm trying to manage two blogs at the same time! 

Semoga semuanya berjalan lancar dan nggak putus di tengah jalan (seperti kehidupan cintaku *eehhh*). Huehehehe... 

Terakhir, gue berharap tulisan-tulisan iseng ini tetap bermanfaat dan dapat menginspirasi orang lain. :D AMIN! 

Lübeck im Herbst

Herbst ist immer die schönste Zeit des Jahres.

Die braune Blättern sehen viel wärmer als der weiße Schnee im Winter aus. 

Ich hatte heute eine gute Laune und mochte unbedingt ein bisschen spazieren gehen. Die letzte Vorlesung für heute war schon fertig und ich wollte nicht gleich zuhause gehen. 

Leider war das Wetter schlecht.

Es regnete viel und die Straße war mit den gefallenen Blättern bedeckt.

Jeder wurde auf jeden Fall nass und seine Schuhe wurden verschmutzt.

Trotzdem fuhr ich in die Stadt mit dem Bus und habe einige Fotos gemacht. War allein und hatte eigentlich keinen Plan, wohin zu gehen, ich hatte eine schöne Zeit. 

Hier sind die Fotos von Lübeck im Herbst :) Ich habe die Farben ein bisschen verbessert.

Quote: Bridal Mask

Hey, this is one of the best quotes in Bridal Mask. 

-Episode 14

In the underground room, where the people are tortured, Lee Kang To asked Damsari about the reason they insisted to fight againts the Japanese Empire, although all of their forces seemed to be useless. 

"Isn't that like hiting a boulder with an egg?" said Kang To. 

And here is how Damsari answered: 

"I suppose it looks reckless of course.
One eggshell, such a trivial thing, will probably just shatter on the boulder.
However, no matter how strong a boulder is, it's dead.
While, no matter how weak an egg is, it's alive.
As time passes, a boulder will break and become sand.
But, someday, a chick will hatch from an egg and step on that sand." 

It makes me thingking about my life so far and all of the hardships. It tells us not to give up and keep fighting because someday, the good time will surely come.. :') 

King Of Baking, Kim Tak Gu - Goo Ma Jun and Shin Yu Kyung Cuts Collections

My favorite couple is here!! xD 

Although the drama was aired like 3 years ago, I've just finished all 30 episodes 2 weeks ago. 

It's. Really. Highly. RECOMMENDED!!!

More infos about the drama King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu

For the first time, I support 100% the antagonist character, Goo Ma Jun. It's bias, of course, because it's Joo Won!! Damn, his acting skills is undoubtly classy and real good. 

 *SPOILERS ALLERT*

Though majority hope Yu Kyung will end up with Tak Gu, I sincerely hope she'll choose Ma Jun. And thank God, she does! I can't explain how happy and satisfied I was :'D.

Ma Jun has experienced such difficult pain since his childhood, I can't imagine how he'll be if he didn't get Yu Kyung. He deserved to be happy!!

Some Quotes

Here are some quotes I wrote in Twitter (I just felt full of inspiration yesterday :P). All the quotes related to the fictional books I love. Check it out!

***

Life is like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. You can taste sweet like honey, until it gives you the taste of rotten egg. #PotterHead

Love is like the magic wand, it chooses you. #PotterHead

You are like my hocrux. A piece of me died when you're gone. #PotterHead

If Hogwarts is real, any wizards who see this tweet, please, "Obliviate" me. #PotterHead

At the time like this, I hope Dumbledore or Aslan will show up from nowhere, because it means he has answers and helps.

I'm like a Gollum and you're Sauron's ring, because you are "my precious".

Being with you is like catching the snitch. It ends the game. #PotterHead

I think I know what will boggart shows when it sees me: myself, alone, without you. #PotterHead

I hope I could find love like Snape's love for Lily, that is so strong until he could unconsciously change his Patronus into a doe, although he's not the deer.  #PotterHead

What would I see right now on the Mirror of Erised is you.  #PotterHead

The Point When Everyone Wants To Become Robin Scherbatsky

“I love everything about her. And I’m not a guy who says that lightly, I’m a guy whose faked love his entire life. 

I thought love was just something that idiots thought they felt. But this woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to. 

And there have been times that I wanted to.

 It has been overwhelming and humbling and even painful at times, but I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing.

 I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her, more than she knows.” 

-Barney Stinson (HIMYM 8 Ep. 6, Spiltsville)


Just re-watched every episode I like from How I Met Your Mother.... And still, I like Barney the best :'D Well, bad boys FTW xD 

I'm Sketching Again

It's been so long since last time a pick up a piece of paper and draw something.  I remember my small sketchbook back in high school, how I always doodle at school, especially at boring subjects, how everytime it gets easier to interpret my imaginations into drawings, though it was just the simple easy kinds.

I miss it. I left my sketchbook in Indonesia. :(

The busy days and struggles I met here, in Germany, have made me forget some small things I used to do and had fun with it. 

So, I still have some time before my architecture-student life begins and I want to collect some of those small things again, included drawings :).

Here are my creations since long time ago. Please excuse the messines and rough edges. My hands almost forget the moves, Enjoy.

Castle! I decided to begin with things I love right now. :D

Kerja untuk Tuhan

Tiba-tiba saja gue keinget sama percakan kecil di kelas 2D-Design dulu. Dosen gue adalah seorang profesor design pertama di Indonesia (cukup 'wah' kan... xD).  Berhubung gue punya interest banget sama seni, gue suka aja ngobrol sama beliau dan dengar cerita-ceritanya. Nggak perlu 100% sesuai dengan silabus semesteran, tapi kisah hidup beliau sendiri seru buat disimak. Apalagi koleksi-koleksi seni yang dimiliki Pak Yongki ini. Beliau punya ratusan slide lukisan dari jaman dulu banget sampe seni-seni komtemporer. Gue sempet ditunjukin slide-slide tersebut.

Pelajaran dengan beliau sedikit banyak semakin memantapkan gue untuk belajar sejarah seni, walaupun sekarang jalurnya harus muter dikit dan nggak bisa pake jalan tol. Keinginan untuk belajar itu masih ada sampai sekarang.

Phoebe is Right

What Phoebe said is just what I want to say to those fanatics, who think they're the most right people in the world. Those people who are narrow-minded and don't respect others' beliefs and choices, who push others to believe what they believe. 

I think everyone have their own thoughts and considerations on why they choose the way they live. We have no rights to decide how other people should live, just like others don't have rights to decide ours.

The Most Breath-taking Barney's Moment

Spoilers allert!! 

This is one of my most favorite scenes of sitcom "How I Met Your Mother". I really like Barney, and hope he will really be together with Robin. 


Believe it or not, this very important scene contains almost none speakable words. The acting skills of the actors are worth more than two thumbs up. xD They act through their eyes, mimics, a little shake of the head... Damn! So cool.

Herbst 2012

Sekadar informasi, pemandangan saat musim gugur itu bagus banget-banget...

Pohon-pohon yang tadinya hijau-hijau, sekarang berwarna dari kuning muda sampai kuning kecoklatan, dari kuning tua sampai merah tua. Bagus banget deh.. (Atau gue aja yang norak baru ngerasain musim gugur dari awal :P)

Jadi, gue bersama Noven, Nina, dan Putri, sepakat untuk bikin sesi foto-foto di pemandangan musim gugur Sabtu pagi ini :D 

Sebenernya cici gue juga harusnya ikut, sayang Senin depan dia ujian. Jadilah cici gue nggak lepas badannya dari meja belajar -_____________- (Good luck, ci!)

Anyway, ini beberapa hasil jepretan kamera awam kita: Dari pocket camera sampai kamera hape. Hahahaha... 

Unsere erste Exkursion

So, ceritanya minggu lalu (Rabu, 10 Oktober 2012) kelas gue mengadakan fieldtrip. Walaupun awalnya sempet kecewa karena ekspektasi berlebih (tahun-tahun sebelumnya, fieldtrip selalu ke luar kota), ternyata jalan.jalan singkat ini asik juga. 

Pagi-pagi sekitar jam 9, murid-murid Studkol T dan W-Kurs berkumpul di Marktplatz. Kita mau ke museum coklat Halloren, yang juga merupakan pabrik coklat tertua di Jerman, yang terletak di Halle (ya kawan, di Halle). Jadi, kita cuman perlu naik tram aja. 

Selain museum, ada juga toko coklat dan pabriknya sekalian, di mana banyak tester-tester coklat gratis yang bisa dicomot seenaknya. Hehehehe... 

Dua bule di belakang itu Dr. Wolter (guru fisika) dan Dr. Sarrazin (guru matematika). Mereka adalah guru-guru gahoel yang seru dan baik banget :'D

Rokok itu...

Pagi ini, gue mendadak dapat ide iseng. 

Waktu gue lagi nunggu tram mau ke toko Asia buat beli jahe, gue melihat ada sekotak rokok yang sudah kosong tergeletak begitu saja. Di bagian belakang kotak itu, seperti biasa ada peringatan-peringatan tentang bahaya rokok. Gue jadi inget diskusi singkat gue dan teman-teman dengan guru bahasa Jerman gue di Studkol tentang rokok. 

Nggak perlu lah ya, gue bahas panjang lebar tentang bahaya rokok. Gue rasa semua orang sudah tahu bahayanya di luar kepala. Belum lagi maraknya kampanye anti rokok dan lain sebagainya. 

Bukan, bukan bahaya rokok yang menarik perhatian gue. Yang menarik buat gue adalah kalimat-kalimat peringatan yang ada di balik rokok tersebut. Berbeda dengan di Indonesia, di mana semua kemasan rokok berbagai merk menampilkan peringatan yang sama, di Jerman, tiap merk memiliki kalimat peringatannya masing-masing.
