CHILDHOOD MOMENT

I was born in Adi Husada Hospital Surabaya on 24th April 1989 at 8 a.m. My dad is Jacob Tedjakusuma and my mom is Lindia Wibisono. I was their first baby girl. When I was born, my father was working and the last minutes before gave birth my mother was still drinking a glass of milk. According to my great-grand mother, I had disgusting habit. I liked to suck her "giok" necklace. Therefore she used to wash her necklace every day or maybe every hour. It often happened if I cried or looked for my mom because she went away. Until know, she still using it.

My mom said, when I was a baby, my dad was afraid to carry me. I asked him about it and that was a very funny answer of him. He said, I was very small that he afraid that he would hurt me or maybe made me flat.

Ehhmm.., I don’t remember it very well. But I think my mom has already pregnant again .My mom ever told me that my dad often went abroad because of his work. I also have another cousin who is 1 month younger than me. She lived in Semarang at that time. When she came to Surabaya, we used to go out together, wore the same clothes, and did other baby’s activity. My grand-father is the one who very love me. Because I am his first grand-child. Sometimes I also went to Semarang visited my cousin with my grand-father.

The Best Memory :
I locked in the car because I often played the key of the car. However I weren’t crying because I still didn’t understand what had happened. My Mother was confused about how to unlock the car. Thanked God suddenly I could pull the lock .And then my Mother opened the door and was angry to me.


SCHOOL MOMENT

kindergarten
It is hard for me to remember about my kindergarten school. Maybe because it didn’t leave any special memory or maybe because I was too small to know what happened. I only remember that I have moved to three different schools. Two of them were “Advend Hari Ketujuh” and “Don Bos Co”. However I didn’t remember the other one. I heard from my great-grand mother that I used to cry when I was in kindergarten. Therefore my great-grand mother used to accompany me from the outside and watched me from the window. Sometimes, if she went to another part of the school, I would have been cried because I couldn’t found her in the window. I have never thought that I was so frighten at that time.

Elementary School
In elementary school, I have moved in two different schools. The first was St. Vincentius elementary school and the second was Gloria elementary school. I moved to Gloria when I was in the second grade of elementary school. My mother heard about Gloria from my neighbour when I was in the hospital. And then my mother thought it would be nice if I could study in Gloria too. That’s why I moved to Gloria.

There was only one class in my grade. With the same 18 students for 4 years, we could make a good friendship between us. I thought we almost like a family. I still remember about our little funny incidents. However I can’t mention it. It is our little secret. We used to play ‘bekel’ and skipping. We played with the oldest students and compete in it. It was very exciting and was an embracing moment. The moment when I still a young kid. That I didn’t know lots about life and society.

Junior High
There lots of my elementary school friends that also continued their junior high in Gloria. The same as I did. Therefore I didn’t feel lots of big different between elementary and junior high. In the first grade, I have three best friend beside of my old friends. They were Olivia, Ivana, and Devina. I think our friendship was the base of shophaholic. In the second grade of junior high I have six new friends. And the ‘djayus’ thing was we called it sexy seven. I think my third grade friends were very excited. There were many funny and ‘djayus’ friends that made our class colorful and bright. I think I was “All about D” girl. From the first until the third junior high, I was always in D class. However in the first high school I were also in the fourth class


FAMILY AND FRIENDS

1st F, F. A. M. I. L. Y
Telling about my family always make me excited. My family is a small Christian family. My parents always tell us how to be a Christian person. Therefore we are three brother and sisters always carrying and helping each other; trying to do the best for our Lord and our parents. However right now we are not as close as usual with my brother, because he is studying abroad.

In my family every person has its own characteristic and personality. My dad is special in discipline and diligent. I think he is the most discipline and diligent people I have ever known. He always murmurs us about our bad habit. Such as when we quarreled or didn’t obey them. My mom is a very kind person. Especially to those who need a help. In addition she is also has a strong faith in Jesus. My bro is a boy who really loves his family. He always protects us and murmurs me and my sis how to arrange our account. However my sis is the opposite of my bro for the finance. She is a shopaholic. She likes to buy unimportant things. It makes us always angry with her.

There is some Fun Fact about us. Our hobby are eating and sleeping. We like to try a new restaurant especially the Asian cuisine one. Actually, sleeping is my parent’s hobby. In all circumstances, whether they are busy or not, they always enjoy sleeping. In some condition we have to follow their habit. That’s why it can be said that our family hobby is sleeping.

2nd F, F. R. I. E. N. D. S
I think I have lots of friends. Whether they are girl or boy, we can make a good friendship. I only have 5 best friends. They are Ivana, Semaya, Olivia, Fonny, and Irlany. We called ourselves SHOPAHOLIC. Not because we have the same habit like its name. But because we feel SHOPAHOLIC is impressive to spell. However there are two persons among us that don’t join us anymore. SHOPAHOLIC is crazy, creative, funny, chatterbox, lively, and so on. I think our gang shows the girl power.

Let’s talk about our personnel. Ivana or VW is very mature, diligent, responsible, creative, friendly, and many more. I think she is kind of our big sister and become the good example for us. Semaya or C-moy is good in decoration. She is creative, funny, and active. Fonny or Mpon is cheerful; her talent is in public relation. Sometimes she makes me angry with her illogic joke because I’m a serious person. Olivia or Ocheap is an easy going person, very up too date about entertainment and games, brave, and logically. She is the youngest among us. Irlany or Swiqs is a care person. She always pays attention to us and to everybody.

3rd F.F. O. E
Until now, I have never any foe. Even though sometimes I’m not match or quarrelling with somebody, I’ll never remember it for along period. I like to make friend with everybody. It is some of my preference to make friend with a new people or with people I have never seen before. Usually I’ll always remember or pay attention to their birthday and sometimes I’ll give them small present or birthday card.

I think the biggest foe of me is myself. I often feel that I can’t be what my parents or my surrounding wants. It will make me depress and then cause a negative thinking. Especially if I don’t success to do something. It will be always in my mind. That’s why I consider myself as my foe. It has become my habit to fight with myself. To force my self to do what I think something must be done or to think what will I do next. If I always follow my original will, I would have made lots of mistakes or maybe have done lots of act that could hurt others.


MASTERPIECE

Masterpiece, masterpiece…
I have waited for 17 years old, (now, it’s been 21 years then)
But I still couldn’t find it
If you mean nothing to me. Masterpiece, masterpiece…
Why you always disappear,
Why you always make me confuse,
What is my masterpiece? If I want to look for you.
You tell me…
I don’t even know my ability well,
You might know it better than me.

That poetry, explain my feeling about my masterpiece. I don’t really know what my masterpiece in my life is. For making this chapter, I really must think hard. I asked lots of people about what my masterpiece is. Therefore I decided to write all my friends said about my masterpiece. Because I don’t know what should I write in it.
♣ "You can play piano well. There is your masterpiece mum" _Irlany H, Ivana W and Semaya_E_
♣ "Just taking one of your photos and place it to your paper. And then explain it" _Hanna G_
♣ "Insert all our (shopaholic) photos. It can be one page" _Olivia W_
♣ "You can drive well. Maybe it’s your masterpiece" _Fonny L_
♣ "You won the wall-magazine and business competition" _Fisia I (my private English teacher)_
♣ "Your wall-magazine (Bread_Jam_Bread)" _William W_

I think all their opinions are right. However they aren’t my masterpiece. Masterpiece is something that can make me very proud of it. Maybe someday I’ll find it. I think it won’t be ‘someday’ I surely will find it.


SECRET
The best thing I like about me is…
my friendly personality. I can make friend and nice to all people even though I don’t know them. This personality makes me feel different


If I have 24 hours to live, I would…
think about all my fault and I will apologize to person whom I have hurt. Maybe it will take 2-3 hours. After that I will visit every person that close to me because it will be the last time I see them. In the end of the day, I will go to the beach and see the sun set.

I feel best when people…
say a joke or laugh together with me. It makes me feel that they know I am there, because I am a type of person that can’t be lonely.

This world would be a better place if…
there is no crying, no war, and people could tolerate each other, to create world peace. People could live in peace without any frightening.


The thing that worries me most is…
when something bad happened to my close family and friends. It will make me always think the negative thing and always remember about that.


I never worry about…
my future. I believe God will arrange it for me. He will make the best way for me. In addition, my mother always prays for me and my family

I would like to be more…
independent and kindhearted, also repairing my bad personality. My parents always want me to be like that. If I can be what they want, they will be proud of me.

I like people who…
are funny, care for other, and like joking. It will make my life brightener and fresh. Especially in some condition that I feel most boring.


I get very angry if…
people gossiping me about the thing I have never done. Actually I will not only angry but also cry and feel very depressed.


My worst mistake was…
I didn’t obey my parents. That’s why bad things happened to me. Such as my car trapped by flood.
