Bandung Trip

Assalamualaikum!

Hello I'm blogging here using Aston Tropicana's internet connection at Bandung. I wanna update some amazing things that I've experienced so far on the first 3 days of my 5 day trip.

Day 1:
Plane took off at about 2 PM arrived at Bandung airport at approx 4PM (Singapore time) (Singapore and Indonesian time is the same but, in Indonesia, you need to "minus" one hour off the clock) Upon arriving, we were greeted by one of my dad's associates. We headed for Irsyad Satya, for a visit and our prayers. The school is amazing. It is eerily similar to Irsyad back home. The builiding reminds me of one of my many dreams. The facilities are complete (In fact, they are builiding a mosque). It comprises of Pre-School, Primary, Secondary and a Pre-U. The best part is the fresh air and the classroom views overlooking the mountainous horizon. Afterwards, we checked into Aston Tropicana and rested overnight.

Day 2:
Went up to Tangkuban Perahu volcano. It's active and alive and "eruptable". I've been there 4 years ago but it rained and we had to leave early. But this time, the weather was much more pleasant. The cold mountain air was really enjoyable but the sulphur was putting me off. After awhile we got used to the putrid smell of sulphur and went visit the rows of shops down the mountain. Worth while. Later at night, the rest of the family went shopping but I stayed at the hotel to rest. Had beef black pepper udon via room service for dinner.

Side Note:
I love the way Indonesians speak. It's fluid, smooth and music to my ears. It's language is similar to Malay in some ways but has a different words and accent. The way they speak is fast, I can barely catch any words.

Day 3:
Today was even more epic then the rest of the other days. We went to a place called Kawah Putih. It is a crater of a volcano which erupted years ago. The amazing thing is that there is a path leading towards the bottom of the crater where there is a sort sulphur lake. It's really cold and there is sci-fi feel towards the whole situation. The smell, as usual, is revolting. But to be in the middle of a crater feels, humbling. Any time, the whole area could go off, blasting off chunks of whatever into the sky. I was minute item in the vast universe.

Salam.. Peace..

Holidays are here again..

Assalamalaikum...

Life is as annoying as it can be.
Results are out, didn't do as well as I thought I would do. I have my holidays to improve.
This is my worst holiday so far. I don't feel like doing anything. Tomorrow I will be going for a trip to bandung, and I'm not a wee bit excited. Why? Because life contradicts. The world is teasing me. Messing around with my mind.

I'm seriously not in the mood to enjoy myself. If you see my sour face, it's not because I hate going, it's because I can't enjoy it.

I will open my mind to all the possibilities and stay positive, despite everyone around me reminding me about how much I am a failure. Everyone around me just don't know how to be supportive, or encouraging or at LEAST try to lift my spirits. I don't want to hear about my epic failures in life, or about how perfect you are, how awesomely smart and "geniusy" you are. But being my true self, I will put a positive attitude for the sake of my existence. Don't spoil it by telling me how perfect you are.

I got CA2 and SA2 to work for, but the impossibility of Sec 3 life has fated me with grades that will be no better than my SA1 grades. I will strive to do much better than ever. Nothing is impossible, despite most things being really difficult.

"If you have nothing good to say, it is best if you just keep quiet..."

yes, flattering yourself by insulting others (even if it's for their own good) is not a good thing to say.

Salam...Peace.. [(:P)<-<
