Brush My Teeth

Banyak Cinta di Kota Cinta

2011-12-30T22:16:00.001+07:00

"Mi, Biennale punya acara flashmob India tanggal 25 Desember." kata Kakak saya di suatu hari di bulan November.

"Haaa?! India?!" teriak saya tak percaya bagaikan mendapat piring cantik yang pesonanya mengalahkan presenter TV berita swasta nasional negeri ini, Marissa Anita.

"Iya, coba saja cari infonya di internet." jawab dia.

Setelah pembicaraan penuh makna tersebut, bukan situs Biennale Jogja XI yang saya buka, melainkan menu sms di ponsel. Saya langsung mengetik sms pengumuman tentang acara yang saya yakini dengan sepenuh hati akan menjadi acara penghujung tahun penuh makna tersebut kepada kawan-kawan SMA. "Eits... tapi acaranya masih sebulan lagi, nanti mereka lupa. Ya sudah, disimpan dulu saja." pikir saya. Maka, saya pun segera membuka situs Biennale Jogja XI, menyukai halaman Facebooknya dan mengikuti perkembangan Twitternya (hehe!) :). Dari sanalah saya semakin optimis (yeah!) bahwa saya pasti bisa menjadi bagian dari flashmob outdoor pertama di Jogja yang bertemakan "Kota Cinta, Bollywood Km 0" karena acara tersebut gratis, tanpa registrasi dan terbuka bagi siapa saja, termasuk saya yang bukan penari sebagaimana balasan admin Twitternya terhadap mention saya :). Ah, saya semakin tak sabar!

Ternyata oh ternyata, baru pada pertemuan kedua tanggal 11 Desember saya bisa bergabung, sendiri, tanpa ada seorang pun yang saya ketahui karena teman saya tidak jadi ikut :(. Ah, badai apapun yang menghadang... tetap berangkat, lah!

Sesampainya di sana, flashmobnya sendiri belum terlihat namun ada mobil putih yang menyetel lagu-lagu Barat, India dan suara wanita yang mengajak agar kita tidak malu jika suka dengan India :D. Saya pun sok asyik duduk-duduk di bangku dekat halte Trans Jogja, menonton senam kebugaran yang banyak diikuti oleh bapak-bapak dan ibu-ibu (hehe lucu!). Tiba-tiba ada mbak-mbak berselendang duduk di dekat saya (aha!). "Permisi Mbak, kalau mau ikut nari India langsung saja, kan?" tanya saya. "Iya, langsung saja, Mbak, itu masih siap-siap." jawabnya. Setelah perkenalan dan obrolan ringan singkat, saya semakin yakin dengan keputusan saya yang memutus urat malu untuk ikut menari. Ternyata hari itu menjadi salah satu hari terpenting dalam hidup saya (hasyah!) dan saya bertemu teman satu jurusan :D. Pada akhir acara, panitia meminta nomor ponsel saya dan berkata bahwa mereka akan mengirim sms jika Sabtu malam juga ada latihan di Taman Budaya Yogyakarta (TBY).

Seminggu kemudian, saya kembali mengirimkan sms ajakan flashmob India tersebut kepada teman-teman SMA. Ternyata hanya segelintir yang membalas dan dari balasan-balasan tersebut hanya ada dua yang mengiyakan :(. Hah! Halilintar kali ini juga akan saya lawan! Namun ternyata hujan menghalangi saya untuk bergabung di TBY pada Sabtu malam. Eits, tetapi hari Minggu tetap berangkat! :)

"Oh tidak! Tidak ada mobil putih itu lagi! Mereka di mana?" pikir saya sambil terus berjalan di bawah gerimis ke arah utara dan bertanya lewat sms kepada teman satu jurusan yang sebelumnya juga ikut. Akhirnya di depan Mirota Batik saya menemukan mobil itu dan wajah-wajah yang minggu lalu membuat saya bahagia (eyaaaa!) plus Mbak Ajeng, seorang teman jurusan (yang berbeda dengan minggu lalu). Setelah memasang wajah saling terkejut, ia mengenalkan saya pada teman-temannya yang sangat ramah :).

Meskipun dua teman saya yang berkata "ya" tidak jadi datang, hari itu saya kembali menari, tertawa, dan mendapat teman baru. Selain itu saya juga mendapat pertanyaan dari bapak-bapak berlogat Jakarta yang ingin bergabung dan teguran dari Mbak pemandu kelompok karena saya belum hafal tetapi tampil di depan (ckck!) :p.

Beberapa hari sebelum hari pertunjukan tanggal 25 Desember, di sebuah ruangan di kampus kami Mbak Ajeng mengajari teman saya yang juga berminat ikut flashmob tersebut. Tanpa basa-basi saya pun ikut bergabung tanpa mempedulikan pandangan orang-orang yang melewati kami, para penari India :D.

Malam sebelum tanggal 25 Desember itu saya tidak datang lagi ke TBY karena cuaca tidak mendukung. Hal ini sedikit membuat saya khawatir karena menurut penuturan Mbak Ajeng tiap peserta akan dirias dan diberi kaos, oleh karena itu koordinasi Sabtu malam itu akan menjadi sangat penting. Sudahlah, apa boleh buat, lebih baik saya mengirim sms ajakan lagi kepada teman-teman SMA.

Ternyata tidak ada yang mengiyakan ajakan saya. "Cukup, Ami! Jangan hiraukan kesendirianmu! Langsung datang saja, lawan badai maupun halilintar! Toh di sana kau akan bertemu teman-teman baru." pikir saya memotivasi diri sendiri.

Mungkin tanggal 25 Desember 2011 menjadi salah satu hari terindah dalam hidup saya (eyaa!). Selain bertemu wajah-wajah lama, hari itu saya menemukan teman-teman baru (lagi), kejutan-kejutan seru, dan tentunya gerakan yang lebih maksimal dari latihan-latihan sebelumnya karena ada lebih banyak pihak yang terlibat dan kami benar-benar menari di perempatan jalan :D.

Semua orang terlihat bahagia :). Ya, banyak cinta di kota cinta. Terima kasih, Biennale Jogja XI!

teman-teman baru :)

Salam dari Gowok,
Ami

official farewell

2011-12-30T08:40:00.001+07:00

It has been six months ago that I'm not an official member anymore of the best senior high school. I'm so grateful that I was educated and spent my teenage life there for three years :) That's why when I look at these graduation photos, I smile, then almost cry :'( I miss school life so much, not only senior high, but also junior high, elementary and kindergarten.. uni life is different (and tiring) in many ways.

with the best sociology teacher and social 66's father :)

"Your schools have given you enough directions, now is the time to apply those directions in uni life." --> make it happens, Ami! Be tough!

Let's say goodbye to school life with a wide smile :)

xoxo,

Ami

The Story of My Teeth

2011-12-17T19:11:00.000+07:00

left-right:
before I met the woman from the bakery-a month with the braces-after the accident-November 2011

Hello,people! I'mback with a story about... *cheese* my teeth! :D

FYI, I name this non dental blog with "Brush MyTeeth" simply because I really love my teeth and I hope I'll always brushthem, keep them stay healthy :)

I got this love since a woman from a bakery inWarnambool, Aussie said that I had beautiful teeth :P Ah and also because mysenior high school classmates said that my teeth were attractive *even Enggar made a poem about it! :D I had never realized or paid attention to myteeth before -except in the case of brushing them regularly twice aday-.

When I was kid, I would say "yes" to be checked by the dentist only if my parents buy me ice cream after the horrible -full of teardrops- moments inside the dentist practice room :D But now, -without ice cream or anything- going to the dentist is my new hobby ;) Yeah, my feeling towards teeth thingyhas changed a lot :)

In the middle 2010, Iwas thinking about teeth braces because I felt my teeth were too far ahead. So,I forced myself to get them checked by a very kind dentist and well, he saidthat it's true. So, if (my parents and) I don't mind, my teeth would be betterto be cured with orthodontic braces. Well, I needed a longtime to make up my mind. I would do it only because I need it, not because oftrends. Yeah, that time (till now) braces are so popular.

Finally, on June 2, 2010 at 4 o'clock, still wearing school uniform I gotthem covered by braces :D In the evening, my teacher and classmates fromEnglish course got surprised and reminded me that the next morning would be aterrible day! "Those beautiful braces would hurt you so much and from now you have to watch out the food,"they said. And yes, they said the truth. But hey, till now I really enjoy them although what I ate had made they were broken for more than once and ruined my mood for a million times :)

The accident that I got 6 months later has made me realized thatteeth are precious. I lost one of them so I have to use the fake one.

Yes, I love my teeth, I brush my teeth, do you?

December 2011 :)

Show me your teeth, give me your wide smile, say cheese! :D

xoxo,

I do know there are still mid term exams for the next three days but, well, I haven't opened my books yet. Those politics thingy make me just sat in front of the computer, opened my files -not the academic files, but photo files-. They are meaningful (in my opinion for sure) so I decided to show them to you.

Children Corner Jogja City Library :))

I met her!

for the sport exam-someone said it was 'alay'

My classmates made it for our school orientation, I use it again 2 years later :)

encourage me, please

Ouch, it's already 9 o'clock! I have to study.. or sleep (?) :p

See you soon with my teeth story, good people! ;)

On My Bed

2011-11-04T11:35:00.002+07:00

Good morning, good people! :) T.G.I.F! :D

Yay! I'm back because today is holiday! :D

In these two months, lots of new people come to to my life and lots of knowledge, especially politics, enter my brain. But so far I prefer school (life) than university (life). Well, I don't wanna talk further about it because it will ruin my happy Friday atmosphere! :))

Let's just talk about what I enjoyed on my bed ;)

Australian Tim Tam from Emma :)

Australian Cadbury from mom's friend. Yum!

tadaaa! <3

Wish me luck on my mid term exams, good people :)
I miss my bed... let's take a nap! :D

grateful

2011-08-09T16:45:00.003+07:00

hi!!! I'm back!! Hoah.. it seems like I've ignored this blog for thousands years! I'm surprised that there are lots of people filled the "say what you need to say" box in the left side! I'm sorry I didn't pay attention on that!

So..., I've got the answers :) I've been graduated from my lovely high school and accepted in the major and university that I planned to be. Thank God.

It has been almost 4 months ago I got these really good news, so it means in less than a month, I'm going to start my uni life! I feel... *I don't know how to say, kinda have mixed feelings. But.. I shouldn't worry too much about it right?

In these 4 months (summer) holidays, there were many hellos and goodbyes. A person that I said both hello and goodbye to in less than a week last July was my host sister when I was in Warrnambool (Victoria, Aussie), Emma. Finally I could met her here, in my hometown, even hosted her in my house for 3 days :)

the reunion in Milas vegan restaurant

Ah.. it makes me missing every pieces of that best time in my life. I think I'll write about it soon.

I feel so grateful. Happy August and Happy Ramadhan for you who celebrate it :)

worry

2011-05-15T14:57:00.000+07:00

What are you worrying? That I'm graduated from this senior high school or not :'(

Why it seems to be so difficult to be graduated from senior high, not as easy as from elementary school and junior high?

It's not like Sunday, because I don't feel the "sun" spirit :( I do hope by talking to God, listening to Taylor Swift's fearless, reading newspaper, watching TV, blablabla and looking at this creature (idk its name) that my sister gave me two months ago, I'll smile -give myself a truly smile-...

tadaaaaa

its backside is.. cute!

hmmmm :9

its backside is missing!

ouch

help me, God

today

2011-04-26T08:24:00.001+07:00

Here I am. In front of the computer. Blogging.. finally :)

The school and national exams are done. But... still waiting for the results and preparing the university admission test :) That's why I still need to go to school (tomorrow) and courses. Keep spirit :D

There are soooo many things that I wanna share to you, readers -if available hehe- but I don't know from which part -,-

Hmm.. okay.

I'm currently in love with Emma Stone after watched Easy A last Sunday. Not only because of her look, but also her act. Unique. I think I should rent Superbad and Zombieland VCD today :) Can't wait X)

So, there are two gorgeous "Emma" for me now. Emma Watson and Emma Stone. Hey.. what about Emma Roberts? I'll find the answer.

Hey.. there's Emma Manderson -my host sister when I was in Aussie- too! - Ah.. it reminds me on her postcard.. so, today I'll reply it :D

Course, rent VCDs, reply Emma's postcard and tidy up my house for today :) That's why I can't do like these.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Friday Morning

2011-02-25T06:01:00.001+07:00

I love Friday! So, Thank God It's Friday :D even though today I'll do the physical education final exam that so many schoolmates say it will be tiring, it has been a stereotype in my brain that Friday is such a lovely day :)))

I was typing my English script for the test tomorrow when I remembered one of my favourite quote:

‎People will change, fragile hearts will get broken & some friendships will stop. But it doesn't mean we should sad -tweeted by DamnRightTweets on Feb, 2011.

for me that's so meaningful :) that's why I start loving twitter :p

Have a nice Friday, guys! Don't forget.. tomorrow is weekend <3

-Now Playing: Last Friday Night by Katy Perry-

aaaa I want this for this lovely Friday again -,-
what I know is it just can be found in Jakarta -__-

late night post

2011-02-11T23:57:00.001+07:00

It has been almost 2 months that I don't like eating rice, chicken and beef. I don't know why --. What I really love currently is fish! <3

This is one of the best (bandeng=milkfish -google translate-) I've ever eaten.. so fishy, so teriyaki.. life is tasty :)

You should buy it if you go to Semarang ;) Oooh gimme again :o

the photos aren't good, huh? :p

btw, tomorrow evening will be my first time to be a girl of the wedding guest books! I'm excited!

Good night

the last one in 2010

2010-12-31T12:20:00.003+07:00

1st day of holiday (November 20, 2010) -a late post; now holiday is almost over-:

raining outside. shuffled songs. otoboke section chief. glasses of warm green tea. doughnuts which I enjoyed alone because my sister & brother are in other parts of this world -really unsual-.

my message: enjoy your "food sharing time" with your siblings because someday you'll miss it :p

PINK! :p

LOVE this comic! so funny! :D

my favourite <3

I heart the colours :)

oreo yum yum yum

cheese = no, blueberry = yes

coffee & cheese = no. so I just ate half for each
hey, it's a good combination, right? why do they don't include 2 tastes in one doughnut?

well, holiday is almost over :( on Monday, I'll come back to my normal life -school, courses, plus from March: final exams and university test -obviously-! wohoooooo.. wish me luck :)

countdown to 2011.. there were so many disasters in 2010 -include November 8 accident- :( but of course, 2010 wasn't bad at all.. braces for my lovely teeth, my sister got married, my brother reached his dream, awesome classmates: SOCIAL 66, new friends, Indonesia's national football team are getting better better and better, bla bla bla... :)

happy new year, everyone! new year, new spirit, new you & me -the better ones than before-!

wait.. I wanna share it:
one of the best 2010 songs <3 I think it suits to new year celebration: firework and spirit :) enjoy!

I wish I had had longer flight

2010-12-20T21:39:00.002+07:00

last time I used this national airline wasn't as good as yesterday... there are so many improvements, I agree that they are rightful to get those awards :) now I can use the touch screen to play games within the flight in economy class :D

it took only 47 minutes -happy or sad? hehe-

I didn't play this game -just typed my name; exist- :P

fun! but I didn't win :(

Jakarta Sky-finally!

so many ships :o

proud of this airline <3
(btw I love the stewardess new uniform-especially the orange one)
and my Cyber-shot W120 :p

November 8, 2010
around 10 a.m.
after school
near Ambarukmo Plaza Bus Shelter
a motorcycle hit me when I crossed the street. I thought I DIED, but NO, I didn't. I'm alive with a HOLE (if you see my mouth is opened).
blood everywhere: in uniform, veil, left hand and (definitely) mouth -because my teeth were broken-

The ones in uniform and veil (taken by my sister)

I do hope you'll never get an accident like this. It's completely hurt. Take care, guys!

xoxo,
Ami
P.S.: Tonight I'm going to go to the dentist. Wish me luck ;)

Dear S., Dear D.

2010-11-06T11:17:00.006+07:00

Dear S,

G'day S! How are you in this so-many-naturaldisasters-moment? Wherever you are, take care, guys!

I miss you, guys. I wanna come back to our January(or February?)-April 2009 when we had tons of funs! Oh wait, not only fun but also tears -well it's not a real water that comes out from our eyes, it's about the bad feelings: sad and worry ;)-. As time goes by, I'm so grateful with what we've done with those awesome people -Oh, I miss them too!- I still do hope we can have some reunions (not only one hehe) there :)

So to make it comes true, let's do the best in our studies! Let's do it, SEGTA '09!

your "photographer",

Ami

Dear D,
Konnichiwa! I'm Ami from Jogja, Indonesia. It's just a short letter, so please read it :) I know you must have received soooo many letters from your fans.

I wish you helped me using your equipment which can bring SEGTA '09 and I to January(or February?)-April 2009, Doraemon.
See you tomorrow on RCTI!
