18th


     23 Oktober 2012 kemarin adalah hari ulang tahun gue yang ke 18 [udah tua yaaa gue :”|]. For me, birthday actually isn’t that special. I used to love birthday, sampai pada akhirnya tante gue bilang “kenapa kamu senang banget mau ulang tahun? Harusnya itu kamu sedih, sisa umur kamu di dunia berkurang”, dan sejak saat itulah gue gak begitu excited lagi kalo ulang tahun.

       Tapi tahun ini salah satu ulang tahun yang paling gila, edan, saraf, gokil, craaaaaaazeeeeeh beut! Subuh-subuh anak-anak dikosan masuk kamar gue sambil nyanyi ‘happy birthday’, surprise gitu deh ceritanya. Mereka bawain gue kue ulang tahun, eh tapi bukan kue dink, itu adalal biskuit oat yang disusun dipiring, kemudian diatasnya terbentuk gugusan snack pillow yang membentuk letter A (for Athe) dan coklat chacha melingkari biskuit itu. Ditengah huruf A itu dikasih lilin, lilinnya gedeeeeeee banget, tinggi bangeeet, gemuk gitu deh lilinnya, eh ternyata itu lilin putih yang biasa dipake pas mati lampu. Terus gue tiup deh tu lilin yang gemuk dan kemudian si babiy yang sedang keliling kampung pun lenyap, eh salah maksudnya apinya yang lenyap. Sederhana kan yaaa? Tapi mereka semua itu unyu. Setelah cerita biskuit oat bertumpuk itu selesai, akhirnya kamipun makan sahur bersama :’)

ZLS Chapter 14 -- Drumming Love


     We reach at the town park, it’s a huge park and a really nice place to chill and get some fresh air.  The sun shine so bright which is a really good weather to spend a day in outside.  Zayn wore his glasses and cap, so we can’t get mobbed by the fans. The park is so crowded, loads of people enjoying the sun shine and playing around. We take a seat in the middle of the park, get some ice cream and watching some children playing around.

“I have a good news for you” Zayn said to me.
“oh yeah! What is that?” I turn to him excitemently. He smiled and run his thumb across my lip.
“look at you! How come 17 years old girl messed up while eating an ice cream?” I just giggling, take Zayn’s hand off my lips and hold it tight.
“just tell me the good news! I love good news!”
“well ... ermm ... I have a few days off before we start our tour “ he smile and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “and ....”
“and?”
“I’ll take you to Bradford to meet my family”

ZLS Chapter 13 -- Drumming Love


“what will gonna do tonight?” Zayn asked me, still lying in my bed.
“hmm .. I don’t know!” I answered as I’ve sent email to my lecturer. “I’ll cook something for dinner”
“yeah sure! And I’ll take a nap!”
“what? no!” I stand beside my bed, crossing my arms and watching him.
“why?” he asked and open his arm to the air.
“you have to help me!”
“help what?” he chuckled. “I don’t even know how to cook!”
“I’ll teach you then” I winked and walk to the kitchen.

ZLS Chapter 12 --- Drumming Love


“why you didn’t tell me earlier?” Jean asked me as I finished telling her my story.
“I don’t, I just still want to keep it quite”
“why you always want to keep everything about you and him in quite?”
“like what I have said before, it’s different Jean” I said and leaning down my back to the couch. I’m in my flat with Jean. She visited me today just to found out  about  Zayn and me. -___-
“yeah I do understand. Sooner or later, public will found out who you are!” She said and walk to the kitchen. I nodded.
“I thought they’re already know me”
“yeah, he mentioned you in twitter and every directioners would see that!” she take a sit beside me and turn on the TV. “is he still on tour?” she added
“yeah” I answered. It’s been 2 weeks he and the lads on tour, but we still keep in touch everyday.
“when he will get back?”
“I don’t know” I shrugged. I pick my phone as I heard my phone ringing.

ZLS Chapter 11 -- Drumming Love



“We’ll start our tour around UK tomorrow!” Zayn said as we have reached my flat
“so?”
“we’ll far apart”
“I know” I said and sigh, placing a glass of water in the table. We’re sitting on the couch.
“are you okay with that?” he turn his head to face me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder
“I really don’t mind if we have to far apart. That’s your job, what I have to do is to support you right?” I said to him and he’s smiling.
“I love you” he said and kiss me.

ZLS Chapter 10 -- Drumming Love


[ Nesaa POV ]

     I just finished my classes today and going to the music club to playing drum or something. I’ve join to the music and sport club. I take drum and volley for the spesific. I already have some close mates in these clubs, I’m the kind of person who love making friends wherever I am in. So for me, making friends is not that hard.
We have loads of practice today, I play drum and record a cover song by Jessie J. We’ve finished the practicing around 2 pm, so I decide to get back to my flat and have a nap.

Knock knock knock

     I groaned when I heard someone knock at my door. I’m just laying in bed for about 10 minutes and I almost sleep. I walk to the door and open it. I shocked and my face lit up as I see the man who standing in front of me now. He hugged me and peck my lip, Zayn is the guy who knocked my door.

Intermezo -- Zanessa


I really miss Zanessa (Zac & Vanessa). They were the cutest couple I ever known. Unfortunately, they splitted up in 2010 after about 5 years been together :"""


PS : I'm a massive fan of both of them

ZLS Chapter 9 -- Drumming Love


     We just finished our dinner, we didn’t talk too much when we’re really enjoying the food which was really nice. I don’t know where did Zayn found out a restaurant like this. It’s not to huge but not too small either, it’s really nice place.

“sooo, I’m the winner, huh?” he opened the conversation. As he put down his fork.
“how could you said that? How did we know who the winner is?”
“well, you look so beautiful tonight” he look me in the eyes and smiling. I’m melting.
“it’s only from your judgement. It’s not fair!”
you don’t know, ow ow ... you don’t know you’re beautiful!” he sang and smiling. I chuckled.
that’s what makes you beautiful .... “ I continue and we’re laughing.

ZLS Chapter 8 -- Drumming Love


Jane and I are ready to One Direction’s mini gig tonight. I’ve told Jane every single things about Zayn and me. So,there’s no secret between us and I wish I could meet Ashley as soon as possible and tell her the truth. [ Nessa's Outfit  ] [ Jane's Outfit ]

“how do I look?” Jane asked as we walk to the car.
I sighed, “you’re just going to the concert, not a wedding party!”
“but this is One Direction concert. I have to look pretty for them” she said and followed me enter the car.
“they’ll be on the stage and we’ll just see them from the  bleachers. They wouldn’t notice what we wear”
“I wish that you’ll meet Zayn on the backstages!” she tease me. “and I’ll meet Harry!”
“oh Jean, stop fangirling please!” I said and drive off to the venue.

     Jane so excited about this, about I’m not as excited as her. One thing that makes me excited is I’ll see Zayn, that is. I like One Direction, but as I told you before, I’m not a huge fan. So I’ll stay calm down when I meet them or have a talk with them.

     We’ve arrived at the venue 30 minutes before the gate’s closed. The venue is so crowd, Zayn said it just a mini gig but I don’t think so. As we entered the venue I realized is not as mini as Zayn said. I thought there are about 2000 audiences or more. Jane and I take a seat in VIP, Zayn has given me 2 free tickets on VIP.  
The boys come out to the stage and started singing What Makes You Beautiful. Zayn got me and Jane the best angle to stage so we can see the boys clearly. The crowded get wild as they came out and start singing, including Jane.

“OH MY GOD!! THAT’S HARRY!!! HE’S SO CUTE!!!” Jane yelled beside me and also the crowded in the entire hall. I just smile and watching their performance without say anything or yelled to the boys. I really enjoyed the song and sway during the song. I realized that Zayn stared and smiled at me many time, I just give him a smile.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else ~

Zayn pointed and winked at me. I giggle and blushed

ZLS Chapter 7 -- Drumming Love


“What we gonna do tonight?” Jane asked me as my enter my room. I sigh and sitting on my bed, take off  my shoes.
“I don’t know”
“I just bought some DVDs and I think Ash and the others will come around tonight” She said as I enter bathroom, I wash my face and my hand.
“my friend invited me to come to One Direction’s gig tonight!” I walk off to my bed and like what I thought before, Jane get shocked. She get up from bed and sat on it. She can’t take off her eyes of me.
“and would you come?” she’s waiting my answer unpatiently.
“I really want, but --- “
“can I come with you?” she cut my sentence. “pleaseeeee!” she begged at me. I turn my head and face her.
“Jane, I have something to tell you” I said and suddenly I got nervous. I find my words to tell her the whole story, but I don’t know what I have to tell her from.

I replied Josh before I turn on the car’s key.  Yes I’ll come. I’m on my way! 
I drove my car off to the Josh’s show, I don’t know exactly where it is, I just read the address that Josh has sent me before.

You go inside and meet me there. Sorry I can’t pick you up! :) xx

I stopped cause the red light was on and I replied Josh quickly,   okay, see u there!
I arrived at the place that has written in the address that Josh has sent me. It’s looks like a cafe but I wasn’t sure because a loads of people around here. Most of them are young girls, they’re yelled the names that I didn’t clearly hear out.
“Zaaayyyyynnn!!” a girl yelled out in front of the window of the cafe. I turn to her and I a bit confused of where I really am. I took my phone off of my jeans and texted Josh.

I’m outside now. I can’t go inside, too many people here!

ZLS Chapter 2 -- Drumming Love



... Sejak hari dimana gue nonton One Direction di TV, gue jadi sering nyempetin buat nonton performances mereka di X-Factor. Not just because I like Zayn Malik, but I thought they're talented and all of their performances always impressed all of the people who watched them, including me ;) . I'm not a huge fan of them, I just love their voice, that's all. I'm not Jane, she said that she's a massive Directioner. 
     Today, I was watching X-Factor with Jane and Ashley in Jane's house. Malam itu ternyata adalah malam terak hir penampilan One Direction karena mereka harus tereliminas di babak 3 besar. Jean were jumping around and crying.
"NO WAY!!! They're not supposed to eliminated. I CAN'T SEE MY CURLY BABY BOY ANYMORE!!" Jean's spoke in her tears.
"Hey Jean, is not the end of the world" I said and trying to calm her down. "Calm down sweetie"
"But look at them, they're too amazing to get back home". Setelah semaleman nangis akhirnya Jean tertidur pulas begitupula dengan gue dan Ash.

Build Self Confidence To Speak English

Here's a bit of my speech for my Speaking Final Exam .

....... in this chance, I would like to give a speech about "How to build self confidence to speak English".
      As we know that many English learners have many problems during the learning process, especially about their self confidence in Speaking. Some of them admitted that they were too afraid to make mistakes and speak ungramatically. Some of them also admitted that they're difficult to express their mind because lack of vocabulary. But I think, the main point is 'afraid to make mistakes'.

What doesn't kill you

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter 
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone

I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid. I'm in the middle
I'm not best, but I'm not worst. I'm in the middle
I'm not feminine, but I'm not tomboy. I'm in the middle

You only want me 'cos I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No you just like to know you can

Split Up !

I've already split - up with Zac Efron since December 2011. Setelah backstreet selama kurang lebih setahun, finally we decided to split up. Hal yang menyebabkan perpisahan kami adalah perbedaan keyakinan. Ibuku tak merestui aku dan Zac karena kami berbeda agama. Akhirnya kita pun memutuskan berpisah, untuk kebaikan kita berdua. :'(

almost 3 months break up with Zac and I've move on already. Now, I'm dating with Zayn Malik. My mom really love this guy . One of the reasons is because he's moslem :')


But Zac, no matter what happen to us, I'll always love you as always ♥

PS : on my mind and my heart :)

Children in : Past vs Now

  • in the past Children played 'congklak', right now they play Angry birds
  • in the past Children listened Child's Songs, right now they listen love songs
  • in the past Children had exchanged bio's papers, right now they exchange Blackberry's PIN
  • in the past Children played traditional games, at this time they're playing online games .


There're so many differences what the children did in the past and at this time. But sometimes, I wanna say  what a pity they are . Gak asik aja keliatannya . When I was child I loved to play taplak gunung , petak umpet, gobak sodor, congklak and marbles. But it doesn't exist at this time.
What a sad !

it was hurting me !

I just remember something that happened in 2011, the moment that made me hurt, totally hurt . 2011 is the most painful year for me. Bagaimana tidak ? Most of my favorite musicians came to Jakarta. First, Secondhand Serenade. Don't you know ? I love all Secondhands's song . Dari semua tiket konser, cuma secondhand yang paling murah, just 250.000 rupiaah. But, acaranya bukan di Jakarta, tapi di Bandung. It's too far. huhuhu. Kalo gasalah, konsernya itu diadakan pada pertengahan January 2011, dan gue baru tau kalo om John Vesely ke Indonesia pas konsernya udah H-5an. Teruss abiss itu ada Justin Bieber. ini nih konser yang paling hebooh sepanjang tahun 2011. Harga tiketnya Subhanallah sekalii. Tapi kalo JB sih gue kaga ngebet2 mah, toh tiap hari dia juga BBM-an ama gue. Next, Avril Lavigne . Oh God, I love her too. I love her songs, her voice, her style and her performance. Next, David Archuleta. The lil cute boy from American Idol, kalo gasalah juga nih dia itu dateng karena jadi ambassador-nya Pond's deh . Next, Maroon 5 . Oh Dear ! Adam Levine . I love their songs, their peformance and the vocalist of course. Next, WESTLIFE. Oh GOD, oh Dear, oh Honey ! When I saw the ads on television , I wanna cried so loud. I was sick . It's totally hurting me.  You know, Westlife adalah boyband yang menemani gue selama 17 thn ini. Dari gue umur 4 thnan , gue udah bersahabat dengan lagu2nya dan juga para personelnya. Shane, Mark, Kian, Nicky and Bryan (out). Pas gue tau mereka mau konser di Jakarta, rasanya itu kaya jatuh dari Menara Eiffel terus kecemplung di air terjun Niagara dan dimakan hiu , tapi kemudian sama si hiu dilepehin lagi karena dagingnya gak enak. Itu JLEB banget. Sakit banget. berasa nyawanya tinggal lima langkah. Selanjutnya sih masih banyak banget yang konser di Jakarta, such as Paramore, Panic at the disco, Kyle Minogue, David Foster, Owl city, The Cranberries, Alesana, Incubus, dll . Pokoknya taun 2011 musisi-musisi kece kelas dunia dateng ke Indonesia. Tapi yang paling menyakitkan buat gue tetap aja Westlife . Kenapa mereka gak nungguin gue kerja dulu sih baru dateng ke Indonesia. But, apadaya tangan tak sampai, sebegitu banyaknya musisi yang dateng ke Jakarta tetap aja ga ngefek apa2 sama gue. Gue bukan Nikita Willy yang bisa sesuka hati nonton international concert. Seandainya ada pohon duit . Tapi suatu saat saya harus bisa nonton live concert Westlife, Secondhand Serenade, Maroon 5 and Simple Plan. Entah kapan, but InsyaAllah. :) 

P.S -- Rumornya Simple Plan manggung di Jakarta tahun ini . Aku harap batal. Wait for me until I  get a lot of money .

Athe, Kapan Tinggi ?

Athe, kapan tinggi ? 
Nanti yaa sabar, santai, selow kaya di pulaw. Tunggu nenek gue selesai lahiran dulu, baru deh gue tinggi ..

      Itulah pertanyaan yang paling sering terlontar dari mulut-mulut manis temen-temen gue. Tapii menurut gue ini pertanyaan sama sekali gak mnanis. Pahit, engga juga sih. Asem, dikit. Getir,  artinya apa? .  Well, ini adalah pertanyaan yang sebenernya sama sekali ga penting buat ditanyain ke gue . "Athe, udah tinggi belum? , "Athe, kapan tingginya?" , "Athe, kok ga tinggi-tinggi?" . Dari zaman gue lahir, gue udah biasa dihujam pertanyaan macam ini. Udah biasa, udah kebal, udah tahan banting, udah kebanting-banting. But seriously these questions doesn't matter for me. Kadang gue emang frustasi mikirin tinggi badan gue yang tak kunjung mengudara. kadang gue bertanya pada cermin, tapi cermin malah ngikutin omongan gue. gue tanya sama sama tembok, diem aja. Kadang suka bingung sendiri, kok tinggi gue cuma 148+ cm . Gimana ceritanya gue mau ngalahin Miranda Kerr buat jadi supermodel ? dan gimana ceritanya gue pacaran sama Zac Efron yang tingginya 180cm .

My Recent Love Story

           Huh, I think that it’s not important to share but  I don’t know  with who I am suppose to share. It been so long , almost a year ago. But I still remember it clearly. I tried to remember when I was fallin’ in love with you, but I forgot . Karena semua perasaanku mengalir begitu saja, entah kapan rasa itu mulai ada, akupun tak tau.
       Rasa itu tumbuh dan berkembang seperti  sekuncup bunga yang sedang mekar. Perasaan itu terus mengalir dan sulit dihentikan. Aku selalu ingat saat kita duduk berdua, bersandar pada sebuah tiang di depan kelas, saat semua penghuni sekolah mulai pergi dan hujan turun dengan derasnya, menahan kita untuk tetap tinggal di sekolah sampai hujan reda. Saat itu kau bercerita banyak tentang hubunganmu dan kekasihmu yang hampir berakhir. Tak banyak yang dapat kukatakan, hanya sedikit nasehat dan sesuntik semangat untuk menentukan keputusan terbaik.
