Sayonara First Year

I was still packing stuffs out of Terrace! A year contract is finally over! I am super going to miss terrace so much! Time goes by so fast. I can't believe this. Not only, I have finished first year, I am not going to be a freshman anymore and I will not be underaged and next year I'll be living with my friend in waterloo. How fast is that. Not only will I miss terrace but also I will miss my first year life.

Anyway, when I was cleaning out this bottle of soap, I guessed I kept the water running and the bubbles flowing, and suddenly it became like the picture on the right. I was washing in the sink and I never thought that it would rise up from the ground opening, I have no idea what's it called, but yeah, this happened.

The Not-So-Great Flood

I woke up today after hearing Helen screaming "Banjir" (Flood) out loud! And that was around 8:30-ish I guess. I knew that it was raining heavily continuously but I would have never imagined that there was flood everywhere.

The kitchen was filled with water. We cooked in a stove used to make shabu-shabu. And for breakfast I ate Vivi's lunch for school. Apparently both of my sisters skipped school due to the flood. Cim is still in my aunt's house.

Since I woke up really late, I didn't help in saving the furniture from being soaked in water. But, I did help sweeping the water with a special kind of broom I guess. Idk what it's called in English but it's called as serokan in Indonesian.

my front yard

just look at this. like a pond.

my neighborhood

my living room

in chaos

Thankfully, my graduation is over, and on top of that, our electricity is still running! Or else we would be awfully bored. I'm still waiting for the water surrounding our house to evaporate in order for me to tidy up things again.

 my backyard. looks just like the Yellow River. due to its dirtiness

 I spent the day drawing and coloring to wait for the rain to stop. However, the rain hasn't stopped yet. It's still trickling right now. On the bright side, the flood level has decreased now.

so stiff

I am pretty disappointed of my touch times having to clean the rooms last time as now all are in a terrible shape right now. It's a calamity actually. :( 

Spring Cleaning

These past few days I kept on cleaning the rooms at my house due to the absence of maids and also I was unemployed (meaning, nothing to do and I got bored). So it has been 4 days.  I started on Monday and ended on Thursday (which was yesterday).  

Monday- My bedroom

Tuesday- Master bedroom

Wednesday- The room in front of my bedroom which was used for ironing clothes and where my dad exercises. 

Thursday- The Dining Room 

Felt really tired. My arms were about to fall any second. My thighs are accumulated with lactic acid. The cramps unbearable. Especially when you keep doing these kinds of chores everyday. I'm not saying the usual chores like moping, sweeping and dusting. What I did during these past few days were organizing stuffs. Unwanted things were disposed. There were a lot of my dad's unused things that he still keeps. These things weren't even useful anymore. Don't bother finding them still work. They are BROKEN. I'm confused why my dad keeps junks. Anyway, I disposed some of them. The really severe ones of course. My dad is away. He went abroad for some days. LOL. 

I have no idea why I like organizing stuffs. Man...what a HOBBY! 

Anyway, I found some old stuffs of mine in my room. 

wristbands from church

 The wristbands above send a message of Good News. The 5 colors (Black, Red, White, Green and Yellow) each symbolizes a meaning. Let me share the meanings to you. Firstly, all human kinds are born with sins. Nobody is free from it. The black symbolizes our sins. But then, with God's love and grace to all of us, He was ready to send His only child, Jesus Christ, to Earth to save us all with His sin-free blood. Red symbolizes the blood. After being washed with his blood, our black hearts are now purified. White means that we are now born as a new person. With this purification, we should not sin anymore and live a good life and grow as a healthy Christian. Green means growth. And at last, we shall obtain a glorious eternal life in the heaven which is represented by the color yellow in this wristband.

Another thing I found at my bedroom was a highlighter in which its tip was covered with fungi. This amazed me a lot. I have never seen a highlighter being fungi-ed..

the white stuff is the fungi

 Finally, I found these masks. During elementary school, my art teacher gave an assignment, or should I say "test" as this was the way in which she marked us in the report card, to decorate a mask in which we have to buy the mask from her. Great way of making profits, aye, as a teacher. My sisters were given the same assignment too. The golden one was mine. The silver one was my elder's sisters, and the smallest one was my younger sister's. I took a picture of it first before I threw it away. HAHA.

That's all.. Good NEWS! My maids have finally returned home. FINALLY! THANK GOD!
Now time to focus on studies before going back to suck-ish school.
