I decided. I do not want him.
Above all of my roller coaster emotional disorder, my unawareness being, my self-centered side. No.. I do not want him.
Rewinding , Repeating , and Pausing are not a good mixture of how this works.
So if you're reading this (no chance he'll be reading this)..
Yes, I do ungfrú þú svo mikill..
and No, I will not fá yfir þú..
You knew the other side of me. I knew you understand me.

Global Entrepreneurship Week
Yesterday I participated in International Seminar on Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Schools Networking Workshop in President University. They had this big tag line on their banner , "Unleash your mind.. Innovate Our Entrepreneurial Learning" which pretty interests me.

So the whole day was really about Entrepreneurship education. It seeks to provide students with the knowledge, skills and motivation to encourage entrepreneurial success in a variety of settings.

So there were 3 Speakers from 3 different nation. The first Speaker was Ms. Judith Cone - VP of Emerging Strategies Kauffman Foundation , The second speaker was Mr. Jody Dharmawan - Founding member of the Entrepreneurs Organisation (EO) Network and he's also the President of Lee Cooper Indonesia , and the third Speaker was Mr. Cliff Southcombe from U.K he's a consultant/managing Director of Social Enterprise/Social Enterprise Europe Ltd.

Ms. Judith Cone was a lovely lady from U.S.A , has 5 children plus grandchild's and she's still working with her passion and still travelling around the world. I guess she's about 50 or so. But her amazing spirit doesn't reflect her in age. Which is great! We should have people like this more. So, at first she talks about Kauffman Fondation - Global Entrepreneurship Week and people who involve in it. What surprises me is Russel Simmon is one of them. You know, the Hip-Hop pioneer! Def Jam, Phat Farm, Baby Phat, Kimora Lee Simmon's Ex ? it's just very cool when you work with one of the people who influence the world's business in the past 20 years. But what really excites me was when she slide her presentation and talks about this young guy who is only 20, named Brendan Ciecko. He started at age 11 as a web master, designing webs for artist. At first he only do it for fun but he didn't know that he was so good at it. He didn't has a basic formal web-design education but one thing for sure, he loves what he's doing, and he's passionate about it. So, at age 20 (now) he's already working with The Rolling Stones, Rihanna, New Republic and other big artists. He also got the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards. Hoowww coool iss thaaat! WHAAAM!

The second speaker was even cooler! He has a log black hair , heart shaped face which I think makes him samurai-looked-a-like. He's Mr. Jody Dharmawan. Despite his disfluency in Bahasa Indonesia , he is still a truly Indonesian. Well, he left the country when he was only 3, grew up in Hongkong and completed his education in London. I just loovee his nature.
"So what is Entrepreneur?" he said. "Pushing the envelope, not the paper. It's how you think. Challenge the convention. Driven by passion. Unleash ideas to reality"..
"What Does it takes for you to be an entrepreneur ?" and then he came up with a big red word on the screen , it says "COOL" and then "WOW" he said it defines our approach , attitude and experience. Aah, a new definition. Mr.Jodi also expand about thirst of learning. It makes us to be more open minded and it will takes us to a Great Opportunities and at that point we got the process where Idea are transformed into enterprises that generate value for society. Isn't that just wonderful ?

and so , the third Speaker was a from U.K , Mr. Cliff Southcombe.
He discuss many aspects about entrepreneurship. Then Focus it on Social Enterprise.
Sociopreneurship is another shape of entrepreneurship. Therefore entrepreneurship has many implementations in our life , not only making profit. It might be something different from what appeared in our mind. It's more or less about how these social activities can create not only Money but also give the real value added for people's life..


So there you go.. That was my day. How's yours ?
BACA : UAN
Oooh I haven't been updating for quite a time! Okay, the reason why is that, probably of my full schedule lately. I'm here already. Yes, the fabulous 12th grade. The last year 'the so called' glitter year. Trust me it doesn't sound and feel that way. It's waaaaaay more over than that word. I have to take extra classes outside, updating every single of last year's exams, upgrading 50% of my scores, doing some research about this year's national exam, pay more extra attention of each single classes (d'oh) , and some of these and more of that. Yes Sir.. we gotta work our ass off.

This year I have to face and beat 6 diffrent subjects (rumours says that it might be 8). CRAZZZZZYYY RIGHHHTTT.. even a friend of mine that I think is very genius has the same opinion with me. So here I am, about to discuss the lack of Indonesian Education System (BLAME THE FKCINN GOVERNMENT).

Our freaking government believes that a standardized national examination can improve the quality of education since the students and the schools will try hard to meet the demand of the examination. However, education deals with human beings and the process of education is not like the production process in factories. The examination is based on the accumulation of knowledge and skills mastered by the students during the process and the items of the test have been carefully framed on certain statistical considerations. Consequently, the examination measures not the whole achievement of the students, but a part: the cognitive faculty. The process of education, on the other hand, considers human beings as unique creatures with diverse and dynamic personalities. Their achievement, then, cannot simply be measured by a test. The big question is “what for?” Do we need a national examination to improve the quality of education? Anyway, the government has promoted school-based management that promotes the autonomy of schools so that in the future each school has a root in the society and meets the demand of the society. Further, then, each school has their own identity with its own uniqueness and excellences. This management system has been developed to answer the problems of a centralized educational system, applied since the New Order. The national examination, in this case, is not in line with the policy of school-based management

How about the teachers? By having the national examination, will the teachers improve and develop their skills and knowledge? The biggest concern of the teachers will be equipping themselves with test-drill resource packs: a quick and an easy way to be called good teachers: teachers who successfully scare the students with the test. That's not a good way integrating your students with your way of learning TEACHERS!

So, What I'm really trying to say is that, national standardized test is OUUKKAAY. as far is it is meant to control the quality of the schools, but not determining the student's fate.

Mummy, much ?
Listening to : Biru by Dian Pramana Poetra & Syahrani
Wearing : Mom's Over sized Red Tee
Mood : Sleepy
Time : 9:52 pm (and guess what, I'm already sleepy. how lame..)

Mom text me she told me that she's already in Thailand. She didn't say anything this morning. I forgot that she's going to go to Thai today. So I didn't get the chance to say 'bye mom, have a nice trip'.
Mom.. hmm.. She's kinda awesome. She works hard. She plays hard. Although she's currently unemployed now. But I guess she's enjoying the life 'without the money' part. She loves doing the voluntary thing so much that she even sometimes forget how to do the normal things works around here. She loves adventure to the core! Have I mention this before ? I had my first bungee jump with her.

I once asked her , what if she never married my dad and what on earth will she be doing for the rest of her life. Her answer was a bit irritating "Well that's simple honey! I might be somewhere in the jungle or eastern Europe or Africa! Backpacking! Discovering new things. Mmm.. Or I might be searching a peace of mind on..bla bla... " and there she goes..
Now I know where I get my high expectation with a highly recomended imagination, LOL..

I don't have a certain reason to write this post, actually its a bit random yeah? discussing mom? on 10pm ? totally random. Oh well.
rrrrr..... my late night inner monsterious is almost out peeps. Gotta go... and sleep.

Flight Off
My big sister (CITRA) just left for Japan again. This time no tears involved in the Airport (which is good). Her flight was 9:40 pm. And she's taking Korean Air. She said that, that's the best price that she could get with the convenience.

Syaz : Why don't you take China Air Instead ? It's like the cheapest one ever right ?
Cit : Euuuwwh! Less money doesn't always to be less quality and hygene....
Syaz : Huh ?
Cit : Don't you know, in China Air they have this spit thing in every corner of the plane. Even the flight stewardess spit on it too!
Syaz : WTF ?!..
Cit : The stewardess are mean too! They're like chinese mean girls on plane. And Oh! the passanger..! They smell.. they have this smell. This awkward smell. Like so euwh..
Syaz : HAHA.. what is it ?
Cit : Maybe it's because they're chinese.... So they SMELL...
Syaz : HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.............
Cit : No , I'm kidding, That would be mean. HeeHee. It would be because of the spits.......
Syaz & Cit : (silence-- and looking at each other.. and laugh again.) HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA..
Syaz : So anyway sis, glad u're not on board on China Air. Have a pleasant flight!..

and while i'm continuing my words, theres a bunch of stewardess which I think they look like blue poodles with a really big ribbon on their neck which is disturbing me, cus it reminds me of suicide.
Cit : (looking over those blue poodles) Ah! that would be my flight. It's Korean Air.
Syaz : Ahh ? ...
Cit : Whaaaat ? Don't stare at them like that
Syaza : ..(SMILED).. HAVE WONDERFUL FLIGHT SIS !!!!

When you least expected.
Happiness.. what will you say if I tell you to describe this simple one word. "Happiness". What will you say ?..


They say..


"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is
the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and
gratitude"
- Denis Waitley



"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness
consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life"
-
Albert Camus


"When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace" - Dalai lama


"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved" - George Sand





So again.. What will you say ?


After a nice sip of Tea , I decided to browse some DVDs of mine that I haven't watch yet. So.. I did found some of my Korean Movies ( You know I'm such a Korean whore ). I went downstairs and played the movie without seeing the cover first. The Movie called 'Beyond All Magic' aka Black Heart. I thought the movie gonna be like my most likely Korean Movies. Chick Flicks , Romantic Comedy or Horrors. So , I was wrong. It was mm.. Romantic Drama ? err... No.. Drama Comedy ? err.. not even close.. Well, you know those movie that makes you feel bored in the middle and makes you smile at the end ? Yeah.. Sort of like that.


So, the story is about.. A 38-year old Nam-hee who sells fruit and struggle with her life. And she's living with her Mother who thinks she's still a teenager (ill with Alzheimer’s). And not long after that, her senseless daughter who only dreams of becoming an anchorwoman came to her house and decided to live with her too. One day, Joon, a mysterious guy appears to these three eccentric womens. He just pops out of no where. And Nam-hee who got tired of living feels at peace and her heart flutters for the first time through Joon. And when her Daughter, Na-rae senses it, she is confused and gets jealous of mother’s love, but finally realizes that mom is also a woman.... Thanks to Joon, the love messenger, they become slowly aware of true meaning of love, life and a family. And at the end of the Movie you'll know who's Joon is. I'm in love with Joon's character <3




I'm not trying to be cliche here. But Happiness only pops out when you least expected.

The Framed Sky
It's raining outside. I can't see the sky clearly. They're Grey.. and Blurry.. There's just too much drops. It makes me wanna crumble again to my goody old blanket and start sleeping again. Or I could just sip my Hot Choco delight. Mm.. sounds good.

I see the sky again one more time, and then I see this frame on my mind. A frame of an old sweet fuzzy memory. Once again it took me back.. And I glance my eyes to the windows and see the sky again one more time.



Have you ever had this feeling where you really want it but you know you can't. You just can't. I know for some of you who may reading this post might had the same story as mine.



I had heard people talking about "falling in love" on the Internet and I would laugh and shake my head in disbelief. How could you possibly fall in love with words? I now understand exactly how that can happen. We were MILEEEEEEEEESSSS apart and I don't think that we will ever be together in a physical sense. It started when a friend of mine went studying abroad and then he introduced him to me. At first It was like the normal 'hi & bye'. But then, It gotten more interesting we discuss things. A lot of things. We change our point of views and it just beautiful. It took me to a whole new dimension where I felt 'Wow..'

At first I only fell in love for his brain and the way he thinks. Coz, for me, BRAIN is the most sexiest part of all man kinds. And then we talk more.. more and more... and I fallen into a deeper dimesion. It was simply beautiful. No words can't describe my feelings.

He called me too, and it was like the sweetest thing ever. Ahh.. Does my heart skip a beat? So there I was, unsure of what to do.




I shake my head again. 'Okay time to back to reality Syaz..' I said to myself.

Still seeing the sky. And the words "If Only..." starts flowing on my mind.

She's back in a flashback
Mum's Back.. From her envying (I have to say it!) trip. After two and a half weeks of dissonance without her , I realized that everything around the house wouldn't be the same without her loud annoying yet yearning voice (You know , I love u).

So anyway, she's back. I jumped my ass off out of the couch and went downstairs to give her usual teddy hug. She looked tired (I bet from the Sahara adventure) but she looked very happy and satisfied with her Trip too.

Syaz : So how was the trip Mum ? Was it fun ? Tell me all the details!
Mom : Italy & Dubai were a complete diffrent world. I had a really great time (and so, she continued her stories)
Syaz : Did you buy me something nice Mum ? Where's my Goody ! I want My Goody !(the usual habbit of mine)
Mom : I'm tired, Why don't we open it later. Okay ?
Syaz : (gone)

I went down to open up my Mum's luggage to find me some goodies. I messed all the things in that suitcase. I don't know why , everytime she travels she always buys weird stuff. Like went she went to Paris, Germany and Amsterdam she bought this full packs of diffrent condoms ! The Neons, fury ones, the weird flavoured ones. I cracked myself out went she told be that she bought all of those stuff. And when I asked her once, She simply said "Oh well, I kinda collect them you know". I know she doesn't collect them. But hell she's weird (But you know I LOVE YOU Mum)

I was so curious 'what is she gonna bring this time' I thought. That's funny.. I don't find anything weird this time. I found cool mask from Venice, the coolest glass mirror necklace, and stuff that are normally people would buy. Hmmmm, there should be 1 weird stuff at least... But this time I didn't find it.
But I did find a very cool CD. The cover was green and they put a huge 1963 on it. So I decided to put the CD into my player. The first track was by Bob Dylan - Girl From the North Country. The song give me the crumbly feeling of Bob Dylan. I adore him.
The song was like "If you go when the snowflakes storm, When the rivers freeze and summer ends, Please see she has a coat so warm, To keep her from the howlin' winds..."
I sat down on my favorite green couch and my imaginary runs wild. Suddenly I imagine myself in the summer surrounded with Oaks. And I thought about all the stuff in 1963. Once again my imaginary runs wild, President J.F Kennedy is assasinated, RCA Introduces the pocket TV, Kenya gains independence from Britain, Martin Luther King gives his "I have a Dream..." Speech. It's amazing how one song can enter a whole dimension of a mind.

I asked her about the CD and she said "It's the year I was born. I want some flashbacks, some records and taste when I was born"
She said they didn't have the 1991's. The Year stops at 1989, it's my sis' brith year. So she bought her one too.

I kept playing Bob Dylan's song.1963. There something special about this year. 1963.
Fondue



I hate the fact that I have to admit that this guy who I wanna write right now is my ultimate long lost Prince. Hey, c'mon people, it's not funny. And I'm not being cheesy at all. For you out there who likes Korean Movie as I love my Chocolate fondue - should've known this calm, composed yet assertive face.

He's 다니엘 헤니 (guess what I don't read nor speak korean), Okay he's DANIEL HENNEY

Me and my Sister Marsha just watched one of his movie called 'Seducing Mr.Perfect'. Where he plays ofc the main character , yes.. Mr.Perfect himself ! I think the character itself resembled to his own personality and profile. He speaks 5 diffrent language , sings , went to college and got the basketball scholarship, plays piano , got the brain and knows the way how to play the game. No wonder he got the part.

Aaaaaaa,he's so hot! I wanna melt like a fondue


PS : I can't write this, you just gotta watch the movie yourself :3

Hitting the Mag

A friend of mine told me that he saw my picture on one of Jakarta's urban magazine. The column was about fashion street look on Java Jazz. So, he scanned it for me and send it to my email. Can you guess which one am I ?
The Factor

Hey everyone, it's been a long time huh ? I've been a really bad blogger, haven't I ? I know .. I know .. It's just that, everything I do is always according what my mood tells me. So here's my latest update since the last time I wrote (when was it again?) ..


1) I PASSED MY Royal Academy Dance Test ! Wooo-Hoooo ! For a lazy sluggard dancer like me, it was like 'OMG-I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-THIS'. It was quite an achievement.


Ms. Rina, my ballet teacher is one of the view people in my life who I always thought 'OMG IS SHE FOR REAL?'. She's an incredible dancer and extremely patient. Whenever I'm down, because of my lack of locomotion and my awful dance movement, she cheers me up and never got mad. Oneday she said "You know Syaza, when I was about your age, I'm the worst student in the class. I even can't bend my knees down like the other dancer does. I know you can do it. You have the perfect feet kid! Oh I wish I have those..!" and then, I smiled.


2) I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP TO KOREA AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE WITH MY SCHOOL YET


Okay, this one much much more freakier than the 1st one. It has a lot 'OMG-I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-THIS' factor.


You know, for a student in a prestigious moderate public school in Eastern Jakarta I'm nothing compare to the other students. I'm not the type who reads book, obey rules, suck up to the most killer teacher.. You know , that type. That's sooo not me. Well anyway, at the moment of my Englishlicious (it's a name of English competition in my school) the school held a career day. It's when lotsa Universities gather around and promote it to the 12th Grade Students. While I'm still waiting for my turn to get up on stage, I went around a little. And something just shook me. It's a Korean University. With a blinked mind, I went there and ask some info about it. It's kinda funny, the 12th grader should ask this kinda stuff not me. I'm just an 11th Grader. But it was astonishing when they said, even your not a 12th Grader, you still can have the scholarship test. So I decided to take the test for fun. And then ..... (I know you know the further story, I just spilled the details .. remember ?)


But here's a stupid, shocking, plainness taglines of my Interview


Mr.Lee : So, What do you love most about Korea ? What made you interested ?


Girl no.1 : The Techonology and their social and economic development ofcourse.. bla bla bla bla..


Girl no. 2 : The Technology and it's people and the culture.. Because bla bla bla bla


Syazoo : OH MY GOD ! I LOVE KOREAN MOVIE !! I don't know how they can make such a good movie every now and then, without seeing the trend of Western influences. Bi Rain is soooo hot! Oh lookie! He got a big part of making Korean developement! That's why I'm gonna take Multimedia, and Korea would be a good start for me.


The two girls were my seniors. They're in 12th Grd. And Guess what, I beat them! I still don't have a clue what Mr.Lee thinking that day. It was a plain, unplanned answer and quite dumb for a formal scholarship interview. Hahaha.. You see, If I read closely to my answers, I only can say it was 'OMG I CAN'T BELIVE I SAID THAT!'
