Somebody left a response on one of my Plurks, he/she asked:
WHY ARE YOU FAMOUS?
I found it as an intriguing yet interesting question. I dunno what the hell did it mean. But, you can read my answer up there. :) The question itself sounds like some phrases in Sophie’s World: “who are you?” and “where’s the world come from?”. It leads to an enormous amount of answers.
I’ve been through a lot of things, here are some quick updates:
- I hate the fact that I’ve been living in this district my whole life, and I’m already 18 but my name is not on the list of voters. Moreover, my dad is the Ketua TPS. His name is not even on the list, and my mum’s either! wtf? I want to be a part of history too, like you guys…
- I went to London again last week, just got back on last Saturday. I attended Global Changemakers at The London Summit 2009. I’ll tell you more about it…..later!
- Last night I was invited to read the Modernisator Manifesto at Modernisator Speakers Forum 4, Hotel Nikko Jakarta. Best of all, my mum was there!
- I’ve been eating a lot!! And it feels greeeatttt!!
- I got accepted in University of Indonesia, to study Broadcasting. Alhamdulillah, I’m really grateful of that, but I’m still uncertain because it’s a vocational degree and I want to finish my Bachelor degree ASAP. What do you think? Lemme know, I want to hear from you, guys.
- If I don’t go to UI, I probably will study ARTS!! YAYY!!
- I’m going to face final exams in less than two weeks. Wish me luck!
Do tell me things… Your days, your college admissions, your schoolwork, questions, answers… Simply anything! Your responses make my day ;)
what arts are you thinking about? where? anyway, i think you got it to be a broadcaster type of person. you’ve always been the outspoken ‘stage’ person and i’ve always been the person behind the scene. the quiet cool one, eh? hahaha
@aisha
Visual Communication Design, what else? Still in Jakarta. Hahaha, yeah, you are the Tim Burton – I am Johnny Depp! :p I still dunno Sha, you know I want too much – most of the time.
Cieeeeeeeeeeeh famous!
ahuahauhauhauhaua…
bangga banget deh gua nda jadi temen lo :D
@beLLboy
awww, i miss you, dude. i’m proud of you also. you’re traveling as a star along with your friends!
I’ve been eating a lot too (in my whole life) and it feels greaaaat too (when I’m doing it) but feels threatening (when I think about my size) hahaha. aduh UAN, gawat land gw kurang maksimal nih tau ga dimana tempat beli semangat? haha
congrats for being accepted at UI! :)
@Maygo
tempat beli semangat? in a girl named Mega Saffira.
@shila
thanks a lot, Shila! :)
no way, thats not fair, you’re the good looking hunk, johnny and i’m the weird ugly looking genius? hahahah i’d rather be… hm michel gondry and you could be stéphane (the science of sleep) man but thenn again he’s more good looking. gahhh! hahaha yeah nda, i’m not sure i want the same things anymore when i get back. i’m not sure i want to go to a ‘serious’ school. i’ve always wanted to do art and if my parents says yes thats what i’m going to do
@aisha
i’d be glad to be gael garcia bernal! :p okay, you can be zooey deschanel with her awesome movies and great duo yet i should be katy perry, the sexy naughty popular singer! hahaha. yes, me neither. i think it would be exciting if we can have studios in our houses to paint and do creative things – let our husbands work by themselves!
i know, right? isn’t that the best things about being a woman? doing anything we want to and let the men work for our money hahahaha
@aisha
EXACTLY! hahaha. we definitely have to stay at home and do the things we love :)
hey Alanda! I’m good. lo sendiri apa kabar?
wah congrats yaaaa keterima UI, broadcasting kynya pas deh buat lo Nda! but then again it is suuuuuch an exciting dream having your own studio in your house and just paint. Thats what i’ll be doing, i guess :-D
@debra
thank you, Debz! yes, i’m still thinking about it but i will probably do Visual Comm Design :)
Udah lah, the fact that u laid out this blog-questionnaire has already said a lot. Go design! :D *teteup dpng, konsisten!*
@adjie
sip, oooom… tapi nanti boleh magang di lowe yaaaaa :p
Alanda, selamet ya diterima di UI! kebanyakan temanku yang kuliah di D3 pun akhirnya lanjut ekstensi untuk dapet gelar sarjana. hey, study arts seems cool! good luck UAN-nya ya :)
haha sophie’s world pas bener gw juga lagi baca, kayak buku pelajaran. selamat UInya! gw link ya nda
hello alanda, i’m visiting back! anyw about university, and what you’re going to learn there, i always think it doesn’t really matters. in the end, it all will certainly depend on ourselves, whether we could be the best in any way we choose, or not. dan yang kedua, we shouldn’t worry too much as long as we’re married!
I WANT TO READ SOPHIE’S WORLD
Congrats on getting accepted at Ui! The time you need to graduate for your degree does not depend on what major you take, it really depends on you, if you get good grades and never miss classes, you’ll graduate really quick! Being in college is all about your choice, if you choose to graduate asap, then you can, it just depends on how you try to make it come true. Anyway, what kind of art are you planning to take? That should be interesting! Hey, good luck on your final exams dear
@Taradise
Makasih Tara :) Iya, aku juga kepikiran untuk diambil aja D3-nya terus ekstensi, but I dunno, extension seems too long and I want to do a lot of things :P YES! I don’t care whether it’s cool or not actually, I just want to. :) Makasih banyak. H-8!
@Kevin
Terima kasih, ANAK ITB & UI! :P Iya, kayak textbook versi lebih santai, hahaha. I’ll link you back, Vin! Welcome to the jungle – kalo kata Vita. :D
@Bey
I completely agree with you! Hahahaha, it’s only a joke anyway. Kalo udah ada emansipasi wanita berarti kita harus siap support suami juga nantinya, kan saling melengkapi :p :p I just can’t wait to get married I dunno why. It sounds weird but I think it will be an awfully big adventure!
@callasandra
you can borrow panji’s book, dear calla. :)
@Cassandra Niki
Thanks a lot, Cass. I’m planning to take visual comm design as my major, i’ve been wanting that for my major since i got into high school and learned many things from my uncle who’s an art director. but other things such as grades and influences from other people buried that intention and now i already got the way to study it i’m 99% sure that i want to do it for college! Yes! H-8 :( Thanks heaps dearest!
wow, UI! congrats kak ;D
@Enep

Congratulations Alandaa :) well i know it’s kind a late hihi, btw how about your test? Visual Communication Design is one of my alternative choices at exam later, your experience make my day :3
@Lalla
Because Binus doesn’t give me scholarship and doesn’t guarantee that I’m going to work in Kompas Gramedia Group! :)
@Vanya Viranda
What test? Final exams? I’m doing pretty well. Glad to hear that, thanks for visiting.
i want to marry someone of royal blood. that’ll guarantee me money for life hahahahaha

Alaaanda, congratulationsssss! Hebat banget bisa masuk UI! Oya btw, lo ga apply any scholarship gitu, Al? You have a lot of potentials to get the scholarshippp lho! Sayang banget kalo gak dipake :( Trus nanti ambil DKV dimana? Udah apply? :)
You’re famous already, Al! I saw one of your book–Bunuh Diri Massal–at Gramedia Grand Indonesia few months ago! ;p
@Nidya
I got scholarship already, tapi di Indonesia. :) Nggak jadi ambil DKV nih Nid, tetep komunikasi kayaknya. Ah, itu buku nulisnya bareng temen, gue juga nggak tau kalo itu mau diterbitin hihihi. Thanks!
