Hello again! Now I’m about to rant about what I expect on the Big Trip to Central Java (we don’t know the city yet) and what I would like to encounter there. Well, firstly I would totally love going to Semarang or Jogjakarta. I personally don’t like Solo as much as Jogja or Semarang. I would like Lasem as well if the theme is about Batik because I adore Lasem made Batik patterns that are so detailed and small, different from Jogja’s which usually have big patterns. If the theme is on food, I would love going to Semarang, because the inner Javanese in me loves food with lots of soy sauce, which Semarang owns. I also love their mie Jawa , because who doesn’t? Just saying, my tongue is very Javanese. I also like Soto Kudus and the sate kerang (I think it was clams) but it’s such a shame that I’m highly allergic to quail eggs, so I can’t eat the quail egg satay that is so popular in Kudus.   Okay, enough of the foods, I would want to talk about cultural experiences I would l...

Hello readers of my blog!   As because I am currently suffering from a mild flu and a very deep regret after I messed up my graph in the math remedial (Yes, it was a remedial) (yes it's math not maths I was raised Australian) so I decided to update my blog! So diligent. So for my English Project, I am writing about immigration which caught my attention after the contaversional Donald Trump speech that made lot's of latina/o's protest. But if there's no latina/o's who would make your tacos Mr. Trump? FYI, natives make the most delicious. Back to the topic. I saw a research that stated in the next years there will be more immigrants than the white American population, so if the society still refuses to accept immigrants they shall be very doomed. (Not that doomed, but still) I also noticed that the Indonesian society has racism rooted very deeply in our cultures, so they also become hateful of the immigrants although they are in another country. Seeing how A...

Hello! This is quite a hard topic, considering from time to time I had so much books I've enjoyed, and I was supposed to pick one. But I just can't, so heres a long list of my favourite books so far. One of my most enjoyed series must be from Madeleine L'Engle. I especially loved the "Wrinkle In Time", "A Swiftly Moving Planet" and "Many Waters". I loved how The Murry's get along so well, and how sweet Meg and Calvin are, just like a regular family, but they are also at the same time the most genius people. I loved how the house held somekind of homey coziness even though it is just in a book. As I read about Meg drinking her cocoa in the storm, I felt as it was raining as well, and when Charles Wallace was disappearing I felt Meg's sorrow. I felt the twins shivers as they entered Mother's laboratory, and their curiousity as they made cocoa on Mother's Bunsen burner. I was also captivated at the physics in this ...

For the last three days, Anjasmoro, Malabar and Sinabung has been busy coordinating a mid-semester exhibition and also a presentation on our newly finished projects.  Anjasmoro and Malabar presented their projects in groups, whilst Sinabung had a private presentation with Kakak about their learning process. Anjasmoro presented their projects in a short video of each of them narrating problems in Bandung that are sensed with our mouth, our nose, our ears, our eyes and our hands. They narrated it with the help of wooden cubes that are covered in illustrations of the problems they encountered. As they are quite new to presentating in front of many people, I can sense that the majority of them were still very timid and shy while presentating, whilst I could see some of them excelling and confidently explaining their videos. Bening also confessed to me that despite being a bit tense and not ready, but it went well. Besides the project presentation, Anjasmoro ...
