It's Officially Been 2.62974e6 Seconds

Hi everyone, you guys might wonder why I haven't posted any post in a while (okay this may sound like there were anyone care about what I posted in blog). So I was browsing around YouTube looking for watch-worthy videos before finally found a video that motivate me to make the video above. So why I made the video? Well, I realized that video tells more stories than picture and in case you were also wondering how the place I live right now looks like. I made it using Adobe Effects CS6, I had just started learning the software. I collected the video for 2 days, actually the total of the video length is approximately 1 hours and half, before ended up to be a 3 minutes video.

About The Loneliness

So I just felt how awful it is to feel isolated. Atoms which come from the similar group in periodical table still take times to recognize each other and not every single of them can bind to each other. Not every chemical compound can react and produce the desired product in a desired reaction rate. There will always be an unhydrolized glucose in every sweet liquid. There will always be alien particle in those what they called as 'pure' object.

Because differences were made to establish boundaries that confine human being from knowing each other. Because differences were also made to rid those boundaries out.

Turks' Responses Of Hearing Where I Come From

Turks :
Nerelisin? (Where are you from?)
Me :
Endonezya Abi.

Turks' responses :

Lost

The warmness of the sun woke me up

It was still early in the morning

When all you could hear was nothing

Before suddenly excitements fulfilled me

Made me so excited like I never before

And I knew I'd never be

Homeward Bound

Happy Birthday Mom

I love the way you send the "Mah doain aku ya biar bisa ke Turki" message to me. Message that I send to you like years ago.

I love the foods you make. Every bite of it is heaven. You never made a food that makes me lose my appetite

Language is Not A Barrier to Communicate

1. Yemekhane is the best place in dormitory (after ETUT, actually). The place where you can eat delicious cuisines for free (we have to pay a little sometimes, if our choices of menu are exceed). So there was this Abla (A polite way to call and older woman in Turkey) who works in Yemekhane. She is super kind (The others are kind too) but she never forgets to say Afiyet Olsun (literally means 'may there be appetite') every time I eat there. Until one day when I read something on the internet, I found the phrase to reply to afiyet olsun. I kept remembering the phrases, because I had wanted to reply Abla's sentence with it, to see how she respond to it. Then, the dinner time came, I picked the menu and abla said afiyet olsun, unfortunately I forgot the phrase. Ahhh, elinize sağlık why it's so hard to remember you?

A Glimpse of A Week in Turkey

Been traveling a lot
Well, it's not really a trip or something. But I count visiting new places just for registering something as traveling. Someday when I can speak Turkish fluently I'll travel all over the country.

No longer being a 'vegan' (a half-vegan)
I guess I'm no longer being a vegan, or half-vegan. I eat meats a lot here. I didn't like it at first, but as time goes, I'm getting used to it.

Been eating new species of foods
The foods in Turkey are a little bit tasteless, they don't put so much seasonings as we did in Indonesia. But overall, it still tastes good for me.

Preface 1

Around February 2006
That day I heard news that Al Azhar Syifa Budi (One of Junior High School that is located in Bogor regebcy) will make a Mathematic Olympiad for Elementary School students. I knew the representatives that would be chosen are those genius kids, those whom the teachers trained to compete in an olympiad. And that was not me, not a poor boy like me, a boy whose book supplies are limited. It's true, teachers didn't choose me as the representative for that competition. Days had passed, I heard that another Mathematic Olympiad would be held by PASIAD in Pribadi Bilingual Boarding School. I never knew why excitements fulfilled my body that day, in fact I didn't know what is PASIAD or where on earth is Pribadi Bilingual Boarding School. Finally, with 10.000 rupiahs as the enrollment fee I register for it. Another days had passed and the time had come, the day when the olympiad would be held. I departed from SDN Pajeleran 01 (Pajeleran 01 Primary School a.k.a my school) with my fellows. Once I arrived at Pribadi, I didn't go to the olympiad room directly because there were 50 minutes to go. Then, my teacher decided to wander around the school. Pribadi is really good, if it was a girl it would be so gorgeous. Pribadi looked like a school in western movies that I saw from TV. Whereas it looked so small from the inside. I had never been in school this good before, my school's table is full of random doodles and hole on some part of it because it's eaten by termites.Wander and wanter, till my eyes found a room with "Turkish Language Laboratory" on it. I asked on my mind what is Turkish language? Where is Turkey? Unfortunately the bell rang, means the olympiad will be begun soon. So that day I left myself in a big curiosity and it never ceased to cross my mind.
