BNMC Chronicles Part 1

Yeayy, Readers! It’s my 11st post! I wanna talk about my great organization, my “best-est” club, my zhong hua ju le bu de jia ting, BNMC (Bina Nusantara Mandarin Club). Actually, it has been a long time for me to share it. Now, it’s my time to post it, but in Bahasa.. Let’s enjoy my story.. ;)

 

Waktu 3 tahun berkecimpung di BNMC itu terasa lambat ketika berada di pertengahan, tapi terasa begitu cepat ketika sudah sampai di garis finish. Dulu, g itu bisa diibaratkan laksana makhluk cupu nan polos yang pengen ikut2an exist jadi aktivis BNMC. Hanya bermodal lulusan SMA tanpa pengalaman organisasi, g pun nekat ikutan perekrutan aktivis itu.. FYI, g jg gk kenal siapapun disana awalnya..Tujuan utama g cm pgn aktif jd aktivis dengan bermodal keNEKATan dan kePD-an yang g miliki.. :p Dan akhirnya, BNMC pun memilih g sebagai salah satu aktivisnya...sempet terharu sambil loncat2 menjerit thx God dlm hati, sms si doi, trus plg ke hum langsung cerita ke nykp bkp.. wkwkk..rasanya tuh kaya uda mau lulus dari Binus.. :)) lebayyy..

 

Lalu seluruh kontestan yang keterima, diundang buat datang rapat umumnya BNMC. Waktu itu kayanya lgs dpet jobdesk rollingan dr divisi akademik.. disuruh buat poster struktur organisasi bnmc dan namanya hrs ditempel2 pake hanzi buat minta ttd nya ge2 jie2 (ini asli ribet banget >,<)..trus minggu depannya rolling ke divisi drd, disuruh buat website,dll..rasanya tuh ky lg ospek dalam tingkat yg halus tapi tetap menyiksa -.-'..untungnya itu merupakan tgs kelompok..tapi tugas minggu depan nya teryata seru banget wktu msuk divisi PR.. cm disuruh cari ide buat tema panda, buat kartu ucapan natal, sm cari cp buat humas. Divisi PR lgs buat g jatuh hati.. g pun bertekad untuk pilih divisi itu!

pas tahun kedua bergelut di divisi PR :)

Serasa dapet Jackpot, Divisi PR pun ternyata juga memilih g sebagai salah satu anggotanya. Senangnya bukan kepalang, g pun memulai aktivitas baru disana. Trus utk pertama kalinya, ikut serta dalam kepanitiaan event di ONF (Oriental Night Festival) dengan posisi sebagai staff humas dan konsumsi, berlanjut pada event kedua yaitu NMC(National Mandarin Competition) sebagai staff pubdok dan dilantik menjadi pengurus saat Regenerasi nya BNMC. Sebelum dilantik menjadi pengurus, g sempet ikut LDK sebelum event NMC. Disana satu angkatan g (which is called as "gen-x") dilatih mental secara penuh.. G jadi mengerti arti dari kebersamaan dan kekompakan yang sesungguhnya. LDK itu juga buat jiwa kepemimpinan g jadi semakin berkobar2..G jadi tertantang untuk menjadi seorang ketua dan tawaran pun datang ketika event TKA menanti.

Seorang gadis yang tidak pernah jadi ketua seperti diriku ini pun mengikuti seleksi pemilihan ketua TKA. Waktu itu kyny ada sekitar 8 personil genx yang maju ke babak penyisihan (ada baoxian, muping, xiuli, youzheng, gai2, shuixin, fengli, dan g). tak disangka g masuk dlm 5 besar dan lebih tak disangkanya lg pun g masuk dalam 2 besar bersama baoxian. Sangat amat tak disangka lagi ketika g ditakdirkan menjadi 1 besar alias jadi ketua TKA. Saat itu, dunia serasa berguncang.. gak nyangka klo konsep chinese top model yg g rangkai secara lebayy itu pun diminati sm floor. Wkwk.. Namun setelah g jadi ketua, g pun sadar bahwa yang terpenting bukanlah siapa ketuanya, tapi dengan siapa kepanitiaan nya. G bangga banget bisa punya panitia yang solid. Meskipun byk hambatan, rintangan, tantangan, cercaan, dll, tapi kita saling bahu membahu menyukseskan event kita. Inilah salah satu puncak perjuangan dpikoor TKA-ku! :’) 

maaf apabila ekspresi muka g tampak lebay kegirangan -.-' wkwk

Counting on God

“You can count on me like one two three, I’ll be there.. When I know it and I need it, I can count on you like four three two and you’ll be there…” ~ Bruno Mars

When the first time I heard this song, I instantly fell in love…

This song reminded me of God’s amazing love in my life. These recent days, I had a lot of burdens. I felt like nothing. I was perfectly at sorrow and hollow. The seclusion came and disturbed my happiness. I only counted on myself and my surroundings. I forgot that I should count on God wherever I was and whatever my problem was... :(

In fact, if I count on God, all of problems will be resolved. Beginning from my research proposal, it really tortured me. Praise the Lord, I could finish it well and also get a good score. Though I couldn’t get a best score, but I’ve tried my best. :) Next, is about the cold war around me. I hate cold war. It destroyed my life to the max. I prayed to the Lord to make it over asap. Then I realized that cold war hasn’t been stopped easily. However, it will need a process. I have to be patient and surrender it all to God.

HE really comforts me so tenderly! :)

Whenever I live in the darkness, God will come as a candle... HE will become a light of hope for those who seek HIM.. <3

 Therefore, I recycle some words in this song to become like this:

“You can count on God, even in a second, and He’ll be there….” ~ Kishi Mars :p

A Breakable Heart

This heart feels pain..

It’s not because of love..

It’s not because of a man..

It’s because of immaturity people around me.

They never consider this heart.

They break it,

they punch it,

and they strike it.

Physically, I am not hurt

but mentally, yes I am..

They are too egoist

They never think about the others

The most essential thing that they want to achieve is a “Triumph”

It is about “who the winner is” and “who the loser is”

Where are their promises?

Where are their vows?

All of them are bullshit!

Cat-shit, cockroach-shit, chicken-shit are also included for them.

They are too busy with their war-shit

I’m disappointed

I’m sick of it

I’m fed up

Do they know?

No, of course not!

~nka~

~God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces~

My cute sweet romantic students

I have two private students now.. Their grades are K-2 and P-2. The K-2 is a little sweet girl and The P-2 is a fat cute boy.. :p 

They are like an “ABABIL”. Their attitudes and moods are unpredictable. Sometimes, they make me smile. Frequently, they make me crazy. However, I always try to be patient. 

The more naughty they are, The more I hate them.. The more I hate them, The more I love them. Tonight, I have a “funny” conversation with my fat cute boy. His name is Leo..

Here is a conversation between Leo and I:

Me       : Hey, Leo.. Please do your exercise! I will give you something cute after this.

Leo      : What will you give? Tell me first!! *whimper curiously*

Me       : No... Finish ur exercise first!!!

After finishing his exercise…

Me       : Allright..First of all, I wanna ask you.. Do you like a star?

Leo      : Hmm…Hmmm.. No... I don’t like a star…I hate star!

Me       : Weww,, are u sure? See my star first! ;)  *I give him a cute paper star*

Leo      : Wawww.. *look at the star with  sparkling eyes*

Me       : Do you like it? *wink* ;)

Leo      : Yes, I like this star…but, I hate the stars in the sky!

Me       : Why do you hate it?

Leo      : I hate it because I can’t touch it.. -.-‘

Me       : oow..now you can touch this paper star, right?

Leo      : Yes, I wish I could reach for the real star in the sky. I will take one star for you.. :)

Me       : aaww..really?? so sweet! :') but, why do you only take one star?

Leo      : yeahh, because it’s hard to take many stars in the sky, miss! >,<

Me       : ahahahhaaa…okay..no problemo… Thx dear! <3

Well.. FYI, Leo is still 7 years old. I never imagine that he can say those beautiful words to me. He looks innocent, but romantic! :)
