Conclusion and resolution.

Finally it's the last day of 2013. Many great things have happened in this year. I still remembered clearly that last year almost everybody was worried about the doomsday rumor which they said would happen on 21 December 2012. I was one of those people who were worried too, since I havent done much accomplishment. Turned out nothing happened and all of us continue our lives. This is one of the things Im always grateful for. In just a few hours, 2013 will end and soon we face 2014. My year-end conclusion actually has been done in my previous post so this post will actually list my new year resolution about what I want to do in 2014:
- This blog is still active because the only way I can pour down and write everything I want
- My family and me have a healthy and good life
- I can keep the pace well in my academic
- Take a good care of my eyes (still)
- Keeping the healthy lifestyle I've done.
- Getting skinnier (always)
- Have a good social life
- Be a child that my parents are always proud of
- Keep in touch with my high school classmates (they're the best!) and my other bestfriends
- Do a great job of being a buddy for exchange students
- Can do an exchange
- Start doing my final academic project (a.k.a skripsi)
- Can go for holiday!
I think that's all conclude what exactly I want to do next year (well actually it starts tomorrow). I hope by the end of next year, I'll be satisfied enough to have achieve my 2014 resolution. Last, although this blog is not THAT popular (I know), Im still grateful for whoever that has read my blog. Thank you so much and early Happy New Year 2014! ^^

Yes? No?

Officially 2 days more to 2014. Never though that time would fly so fast. I think this is just the same thing I said last year when 2013 was approaching if I read my blog post again. Always be grateful for everything that has happened in my life, I still have some regret, to be honest. But I try not to regret too much and turn everything into a positive energy, to me and my surrounding. I got a lot of new experience this year: being a project officer for SCOPE ALOHA 2013, coordinator PDD for Musyawarah Anggota 2 2013 Kamadhis UGM, and the last one was of course being selected as a buddy for UGM Buddy Club. Maybe it's not really a big achievement if it's compared to what others had done, but Im pretty satisfied of myself because I consider I was active this year besides only doing my academic things. Being a buddy is the one I dont predict because I applied when it's almost the deadline since I just knew it THAT time. After the document selection, they did an interview where I thought I was trying my best but after it was finished, I kept thinking "Why did you answer it like this? Why not that? Why dont you tell more?". Honestly I really want to be selected but we should always prepare for the worst right? So that's why Im super happy when it's announced that I was one of the buddy that being selected for February-May period. That's only a bit story of it. These few days Im in the mood of writing, where actually I've to study since exam is coming this Friday. People say it was hard, but we should always believe in ourselves and be positive thinking, yes no? Fighting!

Joyeux Noël!

Merry Christmas peeps! Christmas has passed for a few days but this time I didnt feel the hype. Mostly because next week exam is coming and I consider this week is my hectic week. We got 2 days holiday which was good as I spend my time quite productively. In my opinion, Christmas has always been identic with christmas tree, mistletoe, winter, gifts, and Home Alone movie series! One of Indonesia's TV station always air it every year during christmas but too bad they didnt air it this year. Dont ask me how many times I've watched the movie as it was my all-time Christmas movie! I think Macaulay Culkin is just perfect in Home Alone 1 and 2 and the boy in Home Alone 3 is not bad as well and the story has always been good. Actually there's a lot of great movies air during this holiday and I want to watch all of them but yeah, you know. I like Barbie series (dont laugh okay), Airbud (my another all-time movies), Doraemon, and blablabla. This time there's also Transformers and Iron Man but too bad I miss it. A few days to 2014 and my first resolution for the new year is of course a good exam mark ^^ Let's countdown!

Drama review: 最美的时光 (Best Time)


This is probably one of the worst dramas I've ever watched. Not that the leads aren't good at portraying their characters, the storyline and the ending are absolutely absurd. I have a high expectation towards this drama since it starred Jannine Chang and Wallace Chung but it just nonsense. The story tells about a woman named Su Man (Janine Chang) who had a 10-year-crush to Alex/Song Yi (Jia Nai Liang) and at first she met Lu Li Cheng (Wallace Chung) with a very bad first impression. When she knew Alex has come back from US, she searched everything about his details and even moved to his company although she's had a steady carreer in her workplace. Coincidentally Lu Li Cheng is her superior and Alex is his rival. It continues as Su Man tries to get closer to Alex but he doesnt even remember who she is. Li Cheng also gets closer to Su Man but she doesnt care about him since her focus is always Alex. In the middle of the story, she and Alex dated but something then came up which broke their relationship. The ending is the most annoying one to me and Im not surprise because since ep 10++ I think the story has lost its main plot. At first I thought it's just okay she wanted to pursue her love but then as it flows, it starts to be annoying and Su Man looks like an obsessive girl. When she starts to date Alex, I get confuse even more because I think the main actor is Lu Li Cheng since in the poster it's Su Man and Lu Li Cheng not Su Man and Alex. This absurdity hasn't ended. Hoping they'll break up in the middle because this is just the sidestory, they are still in an unclear state where I cant guess whether they has broken up. The worst part is that even until the very last episode I still cant guess who she'll end up with. This is why I decided Best Time is in my most worst drama lists. Actually Im disappointed since I prefer an obvious plot where you know this will end up with who or how the ending will be or maybe even if we cant guess the ending, it's clear enough for me to understand and be satisfied. It'll be far way better if they let us know it's a happy ending or sad ending. Enough said.
PS: you can watch it HERE they uploaded the complete episodes but there's only mandarin subtitles or maybe you can watch it in viki.com.

Synopsis:
Written by TongHua the same author with Startling By Each Step, this is her first novel happened in modern time.The stories of four young people are interweaved with their best-kept secrets. Su Mann, a white collar, backbone, elite but ‘leftover’, screwed up every arranged blind date until she met her prince charming--Song Yi--since her high school days. To pursue her love, Su Mann followed Song Yi to join the MG Company with a fake resume fabricated by her best girlfriend. (viki)


dont you think they suit each other well?

this is the one I hate the most.

Start counting down, huh?

This also means final exam is coming soon because it comes right 2 days after New Year. Pathetic isnt it? But Im okay with it since holiday comes faster and I can go back soon! Today there's also another great news which I have wait for a few days and it really made my day. These days I also have been watching a chinese drama called Best Time starring Janine Chang and Wallace Chung. At first I was excited because of the casts, but as Im watching each episode it's just getting annoying and I dont even get whether which actor is the main lead since they dont make it obvious. I hate this kind of thing. Now Im watching the last episode and even they still dont give any clue about how the ending will be. That means this week I've been watching 2 dramas with a not satisfying ending. Hah!

December 15, 2013

The last 2 weeks of the year.

Yes it definitely is. I've been lazying around these 3 days, not even doing a bit of my reports which have to be submitted this Thursday. This also means in 3 weeks more I'll be going back home! Actually Im pretty happy today since BWF Superseries Finals has just ended and Ahsan/Hendra came out as the champion in the MD sector. Cant be any happier again :") Being paired for less than a year, they had won Maybank Malaysia Open, Djarum Indonesia Super Series Premier, Li-Ning Singapore Open, Yonex Japan open, BWF World Championship, and now BWF SuperSeries Finals. Im no doubt with Hendra's skills since he's an Olympic gold medalist and had won lots of tournaments with Markis Kido before, but Ahsan is just amazing. He was paired with Bona Septano previously but didnt show any improvement. I mean they had never won any major tournament, not even Superseries. I thought maybe Ahsan has not found his ideal partner but pairing with Hendra now makes his skills actually came out. Im happy that Indonesia still has the most powerful Mens Doubles. Once again congrats Ahsan/Hendra!

their winning expression. Congrats!

Inhale exhale.

This week has been a really hectic one. I dont know why but I just feel like everything is put up in this week. Got a practical report to be done, a laboratory exam, and report of an event I joined last week. Im on my way to week 4 which I think passed pretty fast since it felt like we just started the new block yesterday. Im still stuck with hk drama The Hippocratic Crush 2 and my internet connection this week is really sucks. This really pissed me off because my daily life is 50% internet dependent and now it's always on and off unpredictably. Thanks God it's friday and finally Im having my break from this week. No korean dramas I followed now because I think this term has been a really boring one. Not Heirs which was overrated because of the casts, Prime Minister and I pairing Yoona and Lee Bum Soo, or even Pretty Man starring Jang Geun Suk and IU. Not that I missed the news of new drama, I have a drama which attracted my eye since the first time they announced the cast and storyline. You From Another Star starring Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun is definitely my cup of tea. Their chemistry in The Thieves was just awesome and I've been longing for them to star again as a couple and it finally came true! Besides, nowadays Im more attracted to taiwanese/chinese/hongkong dramas maybe because of their big difference with korean dramas. Not babbling anymore. Ciao!

Drama review: The Hippocratic Crush (On Call 36小時)


The first hk drama I watched. I can say that this is the best medical drama with a realistic feeling. Im having a hard time at first understanding the words even though there's sub because I used to watch korean dramas where I mostly understood what they were talking about. But as it flows, I find out it is entertaining and I can learn new language. The Hippocratic Crush was a major favorite drama in 2012 and won almost all awards. It starred Kenneth Ma as Cheung Yat-Kin, a neurosurgery specialist trainee, and Tavia Yeung as Fan Tze-Yu, once a neurosurgery trainee turned into a cardiothoracic surgery trainee. The drama tells about Yat-Kin, a last year trainee, being really strict to his junior housemen as he is really focus for his patients' health. Tze-Yu is a new trainee in this hospital but she's in her third year already. She has known Yat-Kin before since he was her father's student and her father is really proud of him. She hates him because she thinks Yat-Kin is a bootlicker as he is always kind to her father. Turns out he's doing that becauseTze Yu's father who was a famous neurosurgeon had saved Yat-kin's younger brother Yat-Hong from dying even though now he's paralysed and had to used wheelchair for his whole life. This also motivates Yat-Kin to be a neurosurgeon. The junior housemen were having important roles since they had their own stories here. In this drama, they tell about different departments in medicine not only neurosurgery but also cardiothoracic surgery, orthopaedics, anaestesiology, etc. Why I feel this drama is really realistic is because they not only focus on the love story as some other med dramas would do but also portray about the medical aspect in the departments so well that I dont feel like they're just talking nonsense. TVB is airing the second season since the beginning of november but you should watch the first one. After finished watching it, I understand why The Hippocratic Crush won a lot of awards last year.
 PS: You can watch this drama at www.gooddrama.net. Wiki synopsis contains spoiler.
