8mine-rs


OK, the title seems odd. I was planned to make it odd. So, let it be =p. Thanks to Rina who gave me an extra-thing-to-do-as-if-I-am-idle [*no offense, Rinc :))], thus I'm thinking about getting back to my "home", this blog, that has been abandoned for nearly a month [*where have you been, Bung =p?]. To make it short and sharp, let's begin the 8mine-rs, revealing myself in eight categories. Let's roll :

1. Punctual
I hate being tardy. I don't like to make others waiting for me. I hate the ones who are sluggish and tend to not considerate about time. My fast-walking style represents this dominant personality of mine. People who make an appointment with me and failed to meet the time as scheduled will receive the creepy-and-sharp-tongued of me; bonus : my sour-face. My mood will completely ruined with extra lame excuses such as "traffic jam", "sorry I need to do something first", "sorry I fell asleep", and the most unforgivable one : "I forgot". But recently, I feel like I changed a little bit. I'm trying to comprehend the situations and my mood quite well, as much as I'm trying to forgive the tardy-lovers.

2. Responsible and a Helping-hand
This one is already being confirmed by others :D. But I can feel inside that I have this thingy. Once someone asked me to do something and I agreed to help, I'll do whatever it takes to fulfill it. Somehow, this one relates to my difficulty in refusing someone's maydays alarm even in my busiest moment. It's even boldly seen on my prologue greetings, on YM for example, "Ya, ada yang bisa saya bantu?". Oh my...I did sound like a personal assistant, didn't I :))? There are times when I feel that with this kind of characters, I can be easily exploited by others. But well, much of the time I also think that this-is-the-way-to-do-a-lot-of-good-deeds, helping others, lillahi ta'ala. 

3. Optimistic
This character is quite dominant in me aside from punctual. On the certain time, I can be very stressful, down, or blue, but I can turn it back in mere short time. I'm very grateful that Allah gave me this kind of nature, thus I won't wasting my time to drown in the sea of grieves or sorrows when I'm encountering difficulties.

4. Naturally a home-girl
It's true. I'm a home-girl by DNA. I love staying at home and enjoying my time with my family. Home is definitely my comfort zone. That's why I found it a torture to be away from home and apart from my family, not to mention that I'm very bad in adapting with the new environment. I can be a cry-baby when I miss my family. For this one, after staying here for more than two years, I'm getting better in terms of surviving without my family around :D.

5. Boyish outside Girlish inside
I know that these are such an opposite characters. But, that's for real. When I was in the Elementary School, believe it or not, I was joining the modern dance club and once in a while took part in the local competitions; ehm, with pompoms as my regular accessories :)). When I entered Junior High, I started to wear a veil, thus I halted my activity in the dance club. Therefore, I started to join another extracurriculars, such as marching and taekwondo. The last one was lasted until my college time. Those activities were somehow influencing my characters. It's my nature to ignore makeups and go for plain looks =p. Contrarily, I can be fancied cute-girlish accessories. I can be very harsh but I can be very caring, too. All depends on the circumstances :D.

6. Easily "ilfeel"
I don't find a perfect word in English to replace "(h)ilang feeling". So, let's just use it. Yes, if I encounter something that I don't like from someone, especially if it against my most noteworthy things (such as : "lebay", blabbermouth or "NATO (No Action Talk Only)), I will "ilfeel" with he/she for an instance. After that "ilfeel" occurs, it's extremely hard for me to be friendly with that particular person. I will simply ignore him/her and pretend that he/she is not exist in this world. *Sadis

7. Jutek outside Bawel inside
People's first impression on me are usually the same. They will describe me as "jutek", creepy, as well as hard to get along with. Well, these might be true. I don't like to be over-friendly or sok-kenal-sok-dekat with someone new. Hence, it's kind of rare to see me start the conversations with someone else. But once I feel comfortable with someone, I can be very talkative. V.E.R.Y =p. Well, it actually depends on the situations and the people. Nonetheless, there are times when I can be very "autistic" and just want to be alone. I think most people are also like that.

8. Extravagant
As being boldly said by my own brother ["... Jangan boros. Kamu itu selalu ga tahan kalau lihat gadget baru. Sudah beli apa saja sejak kembali ke Taiwan, eh? ...."], I found it very hard for me to safe money. *Gaahh. I can be easily spending my money for my favorite stuff, especially gadgetry Y-Y.

Pointless Solacer

This is always happen when I'm wandering around virtually. Ended up in some ridiculous pages or sites. One of them is this page. OK, iPersonic is not that ridiculous, though. It's just, a pointless solacer :)) [*what's the difference, Bung :))?]. Honestly, once in a while, doing this kind of senseless thing will help me reducing my physical or mental pressure =p. So, I tried that test and surprisingly got the oh-my-god-it-is-so-me result below. How could the result represents myself so well ? You guys might want to try too =p. 


I'm not trying to be narcissistic or something here. I'm not proud to be categorized as "harmony-addicted", considering this kind of personality has a bunch of flaws, such as easy-to-be-exploited and autistic [as being revealed by one of my best friends]. *Sigh.
Some people who ended up in my blog might think that "this girl loves to show off" or "this girl is not really sincere in doing things". Well, it's up to people to judge me. This blog is actually "my diary". I feel very comfortable expressing my feelings and "scolding" people here, "misuh-misuh" freely, as much as I want. That's why from the very beginning, I never openly telling people to come and visit my blog. Only some good friends of mine who know this blog. So, well, yeah :D.


Realis Baik Hati
Tipe Realis Baik Hati adalah pribadi-pribadi yang hangat dan suka menolong. Mereka melakukan pekerjaan mereka dengan sungguh-sungguh dan memiliki bakat mengorganisir yang menonjol. Seringnya mereka merasa terikat dengan nilai-nilai tradisional. Keluarga, khususnya, sangat penting bagi tipe Realis Baik Hati. Kepuasan tertinggi mereka adalah ketika menjadikan diri mereka berguna dan mengurus orang lain. Namun mereka tidak suka menonjolkan diri; mereka lebih suka menuntaskan pekerjaan mereka di luar sorotan. Tipe Realis Baik Hati adalah pecandu kerja yang sesungguhnya; mereka sangat bisa diandalkan dan tidak ada yang berlebihan bagi mereka dalam urusan menyelesaikan pekerjaan. Ketelitian, kesungguhan, dan kepatuhan adalah kekuatan-kekuatan mereka. Mereka lebih suka situasi yang tertata dan akrab ketimbang situasi baru dan belum diketahui.

Dalam menghadapi orang lain, tipe Realis Baik Hati sangat menjaga perasaan dan senang menolong; dengan senang hati mereka selalu mengesampingkan kebutuhan mereka sendiri demi keluarga dan teman-teman mereka. Rumah mereka biasanya sangat resik, hangat, dan rapi. Perfeksionisme di satu sisi dan ketidaksukaan mereka untuk mendelegasikan tugas di sisi lainnya sering membuat mereka menanggung terlalu banyak tanggung jawab baik secara profesional maupun pribadi. Mereka tidak tahan ketidakselarasan; konflik membuat mereka sangat tidak bahagia. Anda nyaris bisa menjuluki mereka kecanduan harmoni – dan ini terkadang membuat mereka mengabaikan diri sendiri dan keinginan-keinginan mereka sendiri karena mereka tidak mampu menolak.

Tipe Realis Baik Hati mengidamkan hubungan seumur hidup yang stabil dan penuh kepercayaan. Pernikahan dan keluarga sangat penting bagi mereka. Mereka mengurus pasangan mereka dengan pernuh perhatian dan kasih sayang serta banyak mengalah demi hubungan yang harmonis. Mereka juga teman yang setia dan dapat diandalkan. Namun demikian, mereka dapat sangat terluka jika komitmen mereka terhadap orang lain terlalu lama tidak dihargai.

....and the show must go on


The most difficult part of having a privilege to extending study is telling the parents so. As for me, it's not only difficult, bitter, but shameful, all higgledy-piggledy. I hate making my parents sad, I hate telling them that I failed to score a triumph, I even more hate asking for their money. M.O.N.E.Y. This five letters of word always becomes my PRIDE [*the eldest's pride *coughing]. I never get used to ask for money even from my own parents. Let me make it clear. My parents indeed always give me a monthly allowance. Of course I'm still getting that from them. What I hate to do is asking extra money for something that I shouldn't ask, for something counted as needless. Like this circumstances I'm facing now. I should've not extended my study in this country for TWO EXTRA SEMESTERS. Two years should be enough to wrap up everything. 笨蛋 ! But in the end, I don't have any choice except doing so because the scholarships from the university had stopped since six or seven months ago. My father always says "Lho, ya ga pa pa, Nak. Kan kamu anak Papa. Minta uangnya ya sama Papa. Kecuali nanti kalau kamu sudah menikah, baru minta sama suamimu". *D'oh...Papa Y-Y.

I remember a few weeks ago, I was trying to hide the fact that I must stay here longer to my father. At that time, he told me to buy a notebook and I answered "Notebooknya nanti Bunga titipkan ke teman Bunga yang mau pulang saja ya, Pa". "Ya, it's OK, Nak. Bunga kapan pulang? Papa kangen", he replied. *Ouch [punctured]. I always bad in hiding something [*especially to my father], so, yeah...I ended up telling him the truth. When I told him that I'd rather going home than asking for another money from him to support my study, he texted a simple sentences [*which have successfully triggered the lacrimation on my eyes] "Jangan menyerah, Nak. Selesaikan semuanya dengan berani. Jangan pikirkan soal uang. Itu urusan Papa". *Weeping.

I couldn't forget that my dearest brother also encouraging me with his sharp-edged advice. "Semangat, Nge. Bisalah diselesaikan. Tapi ingat pesanku. Jangan boros. Kamu itu selalu ga tahan kalau lihat gadget baru. Sudah beli apa saja sejak kembali ke Taiwan, eh? Memang gaya hidupmu itu sungguh berbeda denganku". NYAHAHAHAAAA =)) *got a severe stomach cramps for laughing so hard. It's barely believable that this 23-year-old boy man dare to lecture his big sister so =p. Speaking about my brother's saying, it's true that we are like night-and-day/black-and-white in terms of money management. I can spend my allowance extravagantly while he can save his prudently. That's why he never forgets to remind me to be more considerate in managing my allowance, especially in restraining myself from being a gadget freak =p. 

All in all, here I am. Victoriously ceased my maudlinness. Errr, those turmoils above were already flew away though. I've made up my mind and gather an extraneous energy to wrap up everything. Moreover, Allah surely has planned something for me. Why bother? Bismillah...FULL STEAM AHEAD! *glad to be back blogging :))*
