So, 2 weeks ago (January 5th, 2012) i just got back home from China. I'm going to tell you about my 12-days-journey in China :)
-DECEMBER 24, 2011-
I woke up as usual at about 4am and well, stretched a bit and you know just relaxed for a while after a 3-hour-sleep. Yes, only 3 hours. Because i used my 21 hours to get ready and ya know, being hyped for my trip to CHINA babyyyy!
Dad and mom took me to the airport. Dad was driving us while we listened to Michael Buble's Christmas Album. Duh, it was Christmas Eve and i won't celebrate Christmas AND New Year with my family. We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 5.30am. Nobody (in the group) was there so we decided to just have a walk around the airport UNTIL i saw my friend, Laura. She was with her dad and she carried a big travel bag and i'm quiet sure it was heavy as hell. Well, suddenly the whole people in the group were there in about 15 minutes after i saw Laura. I met a lot of new friends from different schools (well, they're from Penabur too but in different cities.) Our guide was Lao Shi Hetty, i forgot her chinese name but oh well :p
We gathered and took photos with a big poster. Seriously, that was the first time for me to feel like a celebrity! You know... When you stood there with the rest of the group and held a poster and people in front of you took photos of you like paparazzis. Oh my gosh. hahaha! Alright, photo session was done. Now, time to say goodbye to my parents. :(
Dad hugged me tight and so did mom. Both of them couldn't make it until my flight deported so... yeah that was sad. "Be careful, sweetie." dad said to me. I nodded and held my tears, WHAT?! I'M DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL. GEESSSH. So, my parents left the airport without me of course. While i hung out with Cindy, Marris, and Laura. We were the only 10 graders from Penabur Bintaro, the rest are Kak Gaby, Kak Sisca, Kak FK, and Kak Meli. At the waiting room, i talked with some of my new friends until... China Southern Airlines was ready for boarding!!! I got hyped, like seriously. I called my dad and told him that the flight is ready to be boarded. "Okay, honey. Safe flight! Don't forget to pray everyday and you may speak with strangers but DON'T trust them." wow, dad. hahaha. The plane was pretty cool and well yeah the stewards and stewardesses couldn't speak english. AT ALL. OMG I WAS LIKE "ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING MEEEHH?" so... i used body language to make them understand what i wanted. For example, when i was about to choose i drink, i pointed at the mineral water. Oh gosh this is terrible -.-
After a 5-hour-flight, we finally made it to Guangzhou! Yep, only for a transfer. We arrived at Guangzhou airport at 3pm and waited for the next 3 hours for our next flight to Wuhan. Seriously, the airport was really cool. No joke, dude. No joke. I checked on my iPod if there was any wi-fi connection. THERE WAS! HALLELUJAH! But......... i didn't work 0_o SHIZZLE! But thank goodness it worked at once, only for foursquare Not twitter. Cause, apparently twitter is forbidden in China. Alright, i made a shout on foursquare saying "KEZIA RIANY LETLORA! If you're reading this then tell everyone that i'm in Guangzhou waiting for my next flight!" i hope my sister read that. So, after we walked around this cool airport, our next flight to Wuhan was ready to be boarded! Woohoo! In the same airline and yeah... same stewards/stewardesses who didn't know how to speak English. Yay. So, the flight lasted for about 3 hours. We made it to WUHAN!!! The airport was as cool as Guangzhou. It was full of glasses which was really cool. We took our baggages and at the front, 2 people waited for us. They were a boy and a girl. Both of them are Chinese, they wore a yellow jacket. They spoke Chinese to Lao Shi Hetty and well... i didn't understand what they meant so i just stayed quiet. Finally, they led us outside and once the sliding door opened... OH MY JUSTIN DREW BIEBER, IT WAS SO FREAKIN COLDDDDD :O I took out my scarf, my gloves, and my woolen hat. Shizzle, a Marks&Spencer jacket wasn't enough to warm me up. I needed my coat but it was in my travel bag! ugh. We rode a bus and took a look at the beautiful Wuhan at night. The buildings were covered by amazing lights, yes it was very very very cool.
We arrived at the hotel, it was called "Wuhan International Hotel" which was located near the Eastern lake of Wuhan. It was 10pm and we entered the hotel with an amazed face. The hotel was awesome. We gathered at the lobby and Lao Shi gave us our room keys and a paper bag that had our yellow jacket, a pen, guide book, notes, and stuff. Cindy was actually my roommate but she switched her room key with Laura so, yep my roommate was Laura. Wasn't a big deal though. hahaha. I took my bags to our room on the 8th floor, i was in 815. Once i entered the room, well... i was like "OH MY GOSH. THIS IS MY ROOM? OHSUMMM" really, it was awesome. But the problem is.... THE BATHROOM HAD AN INVISIBLE GLASS SO WHOEVER IS INSIDE, PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM FROM OUTSIDE. Oh my gosh. The clock showed me the time, it was 11pm. I took out my bible and read some words and prayed. Uh oh, i got homesick. I couldn't stop the tears from my eyes, it was so sad. I couldn't give my dad about my situation right then but... i couldn't. So, i decided to sleep. I didn't care what would Laura think when she saw me crying. Before that, i wrote a note about my first day and then..... SLEEP TIME. Good night, Wuhan.

May 12 2010
Alright, so let's throw it back to May 12 2010.
I waited patiently until 12am and yeah, my family pulled a little prank at me. They called me in the middle of the night and I thought I was in trouble or something because my mom's face was tense and so was my siblings'. When I got into my parents' room, suddenly my mom and dad hugged me and said "happy birthday, sweetie." yeah my sis and bro were too! So we laughed and prayed at that time and before I went to sleep i tweeted Mandy Rain and asked her to follow me as a birthday gift, Unexpectedly, not only did she followed me, she also wished me a happy birthday! I was literally grinning like an idiot.
I also fed my classmates with a delicious Strawberry Cheesecake in class for each student. I'm such a nice friend. My teacher gave me and my sis permission to went home early from school cause I had a church event at the XXI Ballroom in Djakarta Theatre.
We got home and my dad gave me the dress that I thought he didn't let me buy two days ago.
After shower, I felt really fresh and it was time to go back home and get ready for the event. I logged on my twitter and WOW there were so many mentions said "happy birthday". I felt like a celebrity for once. That was crazy and fun. I also asked this singer named Dylan Seeger, Sponge Bob (not sure if it's official but I don't care) and the one and only, Kimora Lee Simmons to wish me a happy birthday. I sounded so needy but psh, it's my birthday so...
Finally, we all headed to the ballroom and sadly, we were stuck in traffics. My mom nearly gave up saying, " Let's just go home. We're gonna be late." but my stubborn-self denied immediately. "No, mom. We can't. We have to go." So with that being said, we stayed quiet until we got bored and we decided to take pictures.
We arrived at the ballroom and I got to meet my parents' friends and I was introduced to so many new people in there. My sister and I met Gabby as well. Without thinking twice, we stick together because we thought we were the only 'kids' there. Like really.
So it began. But not long after that, we got really really bored, so we sneaked out of the ballroom and got some snack because we're cool like that. We went into the 'fancy' bathroom and guess what we did? Took pictures like a typical teenaged girl would do.
I didn't know how long did I stay outside but when we got back, the event nearly finished. There was a concert by Andre Hehanusa and a couple of famous bands and singers from Indonesia. Also a fashion show by an Indonesian designer and I forgot the name of the designer. I have to say I was impressed by the show. It was spectacular.
I told the guy on the picture above that it's my birthday and guess what? He wished me a happy birthday for five times. Literally five times. But not in a row. We shook hands and he went home along with his beautiful wife.
So I took pictures on the grey carpet. Let me live people. It's my birthday and when I want to feel like a celebrity on my special day, let me be. I took pictures with my family as well. It was a great day. I will never forget this day and I'm looking forward to see what's waiting for me on May 12 2011.

I mean, come on. This had got to be one of the best birthdays I've had.
Also, Jordan Jansen wished me a happy birthday on Facebook. I didn't even ask him and he just did that. How lucky I was.
(So sorry for the low quality. I took it by my phone.)

Suasana 8c- 09102009
Blooog
Hari ini tuh gila banget -_- kan aku masuk skolah agak telat, cause you know laah masalah bangun pagi gue itu perlu di service haha. Karena pelajaran pertama aku Olah Raga, jadi baju yang aku pake dari rumah itu seragam putih-biru.
Gak deng.
Baju olah raga lah.
Bu-dum-tss
Nah hari pertama 8c lalui dengan doa dan renungan pagi. tapi temen-temen pada pengen doa aja karna kalau renungan pagi hari ini judul renungannya itu ngga enak dibaca dan didengar menurut anak-anak cowok 8C (because no doubt kalau mereka itu.........................agak bokep)
Judulnya itu............... liat aja sendiri di bukunya haha.
Setelah renungan, 8C disuruh Pak Edi turun ke bawah, turun lah kita ke bawah. Nah ternyata Pak Edi nyuruh 8C dan anak2 Fun Run (oh iya, kita lagi masuk minggu HATS loh!) buat lari untuk pemanasan dan latihan Fun Run (untung aja aku engga ikutan Fun Run soalnya mereka disuruh lari sesuai jalur Fun Run yang panjangnya 5 KM. Ya kali kan aku ikutan. Pengen sih ikut, tapi apa daya.)
Yaudah lari lah kita semua kayak orang apaan aja dah aneh bin ajaib larinya haha fyi aku sama Agatha baru aja makan pagi di kelas ternyata kekenyangan makan trus sakit perut serentak pas lagi lari. Parah ya ckckck. Abis itu lama-lama sih udah ilang sakitnya tapi aku masih sakit perut gara-gara lari itu -_- capek nya stengah idup hahaha. Aku sempet tinggalin Gatha (panggilan Agatha) jadilah tinggal aku sama Sara berdua yang jadi cewek pertama (wuah yang Fun Run aja ketinggalaan loh kecuali anak-anak cowok nya) Karena cepet sampe Finish, tadinya Priska sempet nanya kalo aku mau ikut Fun Run atau engga, soalnya masih kurang satu anak. Aku sih mau mau aja asalkan temen-temen yang lain juga pada mau. Akhirnya aku sama Sara sampe duluan di sekolah dan terlihat Endion nungguin 8C haha. Dia tanya kan ke kita "yang lain mana?" Terus kita jawab aja "masih di belakang."
Di sekolah kita nungguin yang lain dan ternyata Chacha dateng sendirian, disusul sama yang lain hingga akhirnya anak2 8C berkumpul semua kecuali Priska dan Friska mereka emang Fun Run dan bener-bener ikut latihan. Kezia Er yang jadi salah satu yang ikut Fun Run ngga latihan karena katanya capek. Abis itu kita sempet ngumpul-ngumpul di kelas 8C sambil ngadem. Typical. Kebetulan ada Cindy, Ceping, dan Dinda setau aku. Katanya mereka ada latihan nari tapi belum mulai jadi nungguin di 8C deh. Tiba-tiba Cindy ngingetin kita kalau udah mau jam 9. Langsung deh kita pergi ke aula buat latihan senam lantai. Karena kelamaan nunggu, akhirnya kita mutusin buat cerita serem. Ada aku, Kezia Er, Indira, Chacha, Sara, Agatha, siapa lagi ya? Lupa. Pokoknya banyak lah. Cerita pun di mulai.
Cerita selesai. Haha.
Akhirnya Pak Edi dateng dan langsung nyuruh kita ke kelas karena jam OR nya udah selesai (seru lah pokoknya. Selama dua jam pelajaran OR, kita cuma lari, latihan kayang, ngobrol, cerita serem, dan becanda.) Aku langsung ke kelas dan pergi ke toilet sambil bawa tas isinya batik dan rok biru. Ganti baju deh di toilet. Udah ganti, kita nunggu bentar buat pelajaran BF (Biologi/Fisika) ternyata BF nya Bio dan kita disuruh bikin TTS buat latihan persiapan ulangan. Akhirnya jam BF selesai dan tibalah waktu istirahat.
Eh tiba-tiba Joey pamerin bekal dia. Ayam woku. Iya, ayam woku. Langsung lah si Marvin samperin Joey sambil bawa senjata demi ayam woku itu. Gak deng. But yeah he came to Joey buat minta bekal surgawi itu. Dengan pedenya, aku teriak, "DISINI YANG SUKA AYAM WOKU SLAIN GUE AGATHA JOEY SIAPA?" dan yang menjawab iya dengan (segenap hatiku. Gak deng.) cara angkat tangan adalah Priska dan Marvin. Selama ini aku kira yang doyan ayam woku cuma aku sama Gatha. Ternyata ada tiga orang lagi: Priska, Marvin, dan Joey. Wah. Gawat. Saingan makin banyak.
Akhirnya istirahat selesai dan Matematika deh sekarang. Yah kayaknya tadi Mat free class gitu. Abisan masternya (Pak Hendro) ngga dateng. There's not much to do pas pelajaran Mat. Ngga kerasa, pelajaran yang disukai sesaat itu selesai. BI deh.
Pas pelajaran BI kita disuruh lanjutin wawancara Joey soal futsal. Tugas pun selsai dengan cepat dan kelas kembali ramai.
Saking ramenya,
JAM DINDING KELAS PECAH WOI.
Gara-gara tendangan Abi ya kl ngga salah. Gatau deh tapi nendangnya pake bolanya si Kezia Er. Bola futsal guys. Pas pelajaran Agama aku udah kerjain tugas dari Bu Josie. Abis itu diajak Kezia Er cerita serem lagi haha. Akhirnya bel istirahat kedua berbunyi tapi menyangkut crita serem tadi, Kezia mau nunjukkin video serem di HP nya. Yang jelas sih pasti diem-diem because of the school's rule yang ngga bolehin kita bawa HP ke sekolah. Sayangnya, video nya ngga ada. Gajadi nonton deh. Hu.
Pas udah istirahat kedua, aku masuk kelas dan B.Ing di mulai. Eh Ma'am Wiwin ngrurusin Science Camp. Free class lagi deh, tapi kali ini ada tugas. Sadly, pas ada tugas dibagiin Edgar, udah keburu bel hahaha. Ngga jadi ngerjain tugas deh.
Intinya, hari ini penuh sama free classes and horror stories.
Tamat.
