Worrying won't stop the bad stuff from happening. It just stops you from enjoying the good. So don't worry, be happy. :)

Taking English Class (Again)

Okay, I am currently taking an English class again at Future Academy. It is an IELTS-basic course, so at the beginning I took an IELTS test as a replacement test (the test was damn hard but I made it until the very end of the test), then they put me on level 4 IELTS class based on my results. I was very surprised when I knew the people at the Academy were surprised with my result and my brother's, they said it was rare to find new students reach level 4 on the first IELTS test in this city, so I assumed that my score was pretty good for a newbie in this city of course. I don't even know my score and I don't think I wanna know, I mean I don't care, I have seen those people's reactions and it's enough for me to understand.

Honestly I don't even know why I do this or why I want to do this. It is my mom's idea actually. She (always) thinks that it is important for me and my brother to know and speak English (fluently), even though we are now med students and don't use English at college (although sometimes we are forced by lecturers to read English textbooks or slides). She always believes that English will be very useful someday in the future and that someday I will find out that what she believes is true. She doesn't have to wait for that "someday in the future" to prove that learning English is very important and useful, because I have realized that since I was still in high school. Knowing English has helped me a lot with many things like schools, homework, college, communication, etc.

So about this English class I am taking, honestly I feel so excited about it. At first I thought it was going to be a waste of time, but it's not. The class is very fun, very very fun. Even though all the teachers are local teachers (but have experienced studying English abroad), I should admit that the class is fun and so far I have learned a lot. I take English class 3 days in a week from 5 p.m to 7 p.m every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday and Wednesday are for grammar class, and Friday is for academic speaking class. I write and speak a lot there in English, and I think my English starts to improve a lot now especially my English vocabulary. Yeah, there in Future Academy we have a "50 new vocabularies" project every meeting, so I take that project seriously.

I am believer totally. I believe that things happen for a reason, a good reason. If I get the chance to learn English again now, I believe that I am currently being prepared for something greater in the future. Let's just say that learning English is an investment for my future.

Keep the spirit. Keep the faith. Keep moving on. GOD bless. :)

About Me #09 : I get attached easily and tightly with people or things.

Yeah... Once I feel emotionally connected with some things or people (which happens often), I get attached too them tightly. And once I lose them, it's really hard to let go of them. 

It happened when I lost my 2 cell phones... :| It was hard to let go of them... I guess I should really learn to let go and move on... It's life... People lose things everyday... Right?

Psalm 23 - This means a lot to me

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, 3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23 has always been my favorite Psalm since I remember. Whenever I am in trouble, or I am fighting for something in my life, I always read this part of the Holy Bible. I read this a lot in Indonesian Holy Bible version... Been reading this a lot until I can read this Psalm without even looking at the Bible. 

Every time I read this, I know that I got no reason to be afraid... because I have a Shepherd who will always help me, and I lack nothing. Every time I feel like my faith is shaken, then I start reading this in my head... I know that everything is going to be just fine, and I know victory will always be a part of my life no matter what.

My grandpa used to ask me to read Psalm 23 when he was staying with me during the final examination in Junior High School. Every morning before I went to school, He would ask me to read this Psalm and pray for me. Hmm, miss him a lot...

And right now... I really am in a big fight. I am fighting for my future and it's something that I have always been fighting for... I know it's not easy, and there's no easy way out. So... this is why I am fighting really hard to win this thing... And I believe that things will turn out to be great, and I will bring victory in both of my hands.

But you make me wanna act like a girl, paint my nails and wear perfume... For you make me so nervous, that I just can’t hold your hand...
