Tree of Love
This story was originally written by me about one year ago. Thanks to my friend, Gabriela Ellenzy; my former colleague in the school committee of my Junior High School, who was willing to spend her time doing these wonderful piece of arts. I am deeply touched by her effort and the beauty of her works. Thanks Gabby ^_^

Additional : Today was 5
At least there are things to add now to the previous post. I have just came back from the vending machine area in my hostel, basically it was because of the Futsal Team meeting for the upcoming inter hostel match, but it turned out to be another lesson for me...lesson of life.
I have this senior whose face is pretty similar with me. Many people say that we are actually twin brothers xD. However, the gaping difference between us is in maturity. He is a lot more mature than me, he is even more mature than most people at his age though. I admire him the most for this particular trait.
He taught me a lot of things. First, both of us are idealists. We are people who have this crazy dream of flying to the other galaxy, conquering everything in the world, or even changing the world into our own utopia. Yes, we are ideal people who dream of an ideal world where everything is within our range of imagination and favours. However, when I am confronted with sad reality, I often run and maundering about things which I detest. Him, will try to his very last drop of blood, work to the fullest, put his life in line to change everything. He said "Work, work hard to change the condition into an idealistic one, which you wish and glad to live with. Many people died in the process, yet by working hard, at least we reach the tree instead of the moon.
I promise I will change my self. Remain stagnant is not the way..it is just an excuse for incompetence. Thank God for this wonderful day...goodnight ^_^

Today was 5
Today was not a very good day. A lot of things happened, both good things and bad things, yet somehow my mind was focused to the bad things that happened only. The weather was nice though (raining) since it contributed to the cool air in the atmosphere today, but also add up to my gloomy mood today.
Just a brief information about my self. I am a person which detest any belated information about any plans or events that require my participation. I view these kind of events as deliberate sabotage against my perfect plan for the day. Moreover, I hate when people force me to do something which I do not want to do. I feel that by being forced to do something like this, I am deprived from my liberty to choose.
Well, the good things that happened today, as far as I can remember, is only that I could had a chat with my friend via Yahoo, and that I finally got my own broadband, and of course that I could wake up this morning; alive ^_^.
In a nutshell, bad things that happened today were those in the second paragraph of this post. I am not going into details as I am afraid that it will cause more problems in the future if some people involved in it read this post. That kind of problem has happened to one of my friends. Thus, at least one positive thing to learn from today : Do not publish any hazardous post, hazardous in a sense that It may cause you problem xD, in public spaces such as personal blog or Facebook xD

Today was 7.5
Today was not a bad day after all! Life showed its gentle and warm side as today I am surrounded by many friends, even right now while I'm typing this post xD.
Do you ever think about the reason behind your existence?
What do you live for or why do you live?
I've been thinking about the reason since a long long time ago, and yet I still can't find one.
Religious people say, we live to glorify the Lord, yet I'm not quite agree about this reason of living.
I jump into a conclusion that it isn't worthy to find the reason to live...
I simply live without reason
All I know is to do my best
To do what I think is right and worth the effort to do it
To love the people around me..and those needed my love
To gather with my family and my friends, have fun with them
and last that I can think of, live to learn everything meaningful, for the satisfaction of your soul and mind.
At least, I live on the principle of doing those things. As an example, I am an altar boy, and I'm doing it because I feel contended by doing that job; of course to serve God is part of the reason to be an altar boy as well, but I think that's not the only reason I'm doing it.
As for today, I'm doing my weekly routine, going to church;serving there as an altar boy, go to Raffles City to eat then go back to Hostel. Well, those things are my routine every Sunday. This time feels different though, Somehow I am quite delighted today to go back to church again since last week I did not go there for a Hostel event.
Tomorrow will be school's day again, back to my duty as a student. Therefore, I shall enjoy the rest of this day. Bye ^_^

Life
Do you know what is the meaning of the address of this blog? Meteran Hidup...it is an Indonesian phrase which originally created by me ( I think so..hehe). Meteran in English is something like a measurement tools to measure the length of something while Hidup means a life. Combining those two separate words together, and the meaning will be "an equipment to measure life."
Since I love mathematics, let's move on into the realm of number as a reference to our life. Out of ten, what number would you like to choose to represent one good day in your life? It is obvious that you will not give smaller than 6!
Conversely, when your day is an utter mess,everything seem futile and worthless, you will never give number such as 10 or even 8 right?
This blog will work on that way ^_^ I will tell the story of the day, with many perspectives from me posted on it as well,( in other words, my opinion xD) with a number written at the beginning of my post. xD Maybe you will find it boring seeing a whole page of maunders from myself, but do not worry friends ^_^ I promise I shall post more than that.
Finally, I also happy to announce that I am going to post my short story writing here as well ^_^ Hope you can enjoy the blog. hehe
