| This Week's Contemplation |
After having a christian KTB (Kelompok Tumbuh Bersama) Meeting, I had some important matters to think. One of them is about whether we should care ourselves first or we should think others first over our personal work or importance. The classic example is Let's say you have friend who is having urgent need but in the same time we can't help him. But, that's too easy to answer(we got a lot in our civic/personality education) and the main idea is about how far we should care others. What I am thinking now is that human has the nature to be an individual person and selfishness surrounds the mind, and I feel that too. Besides, I also think that there are many conditions when we want help others. For example, we should be able to understand the lecture first before we answer others question if he can't understand. Doesn't it mean that we should think our business first before helping others. The other example is that we should study at home than visiting our farewell dinner with our not-so-close-friend who will go abroad for good because we should have the hardest exam in the next day.
Okay, I myself don't like to say about our conditions this and that. If human is limited by those conditions, just say that people think their business first then after that, they think about others. What I consider is that if we have fulfilled our needs in certain level, we of course can help others, that's what I think. I know it is wrong, but, I will keep struggling to contemplate. Saying that we treat others as the main priority in our life is a bit hypocrite. Let's think.
Is there a fixed answer or the generalization or even a unified stand of all people about who should we think first. I admit that I am still selfish and still think about my problems first before helping others. Ah...let's change to another topic, it is too sensitive.

| As A 2nd Year Student |
Here what I mean as the second year students are those who belong to ISCF member. Well, I think I am not that close with my 2nd year friends in my physics class. The reason is because of the multi nationalities which make it difficult to blend. Like what I said before, the birds will flock with those with the same fur. So, I make more friends with Indonesians here. But it's not all Indonesian, only those in ISCF only. As second year students, I think we have more influences in ISCF because there are a lot of us and our relationship is the strongest one, I think
The photo above was taken after a Friday session on Holy Spirit Doctrine. That was the ISCF program where we are separated by groups based on the year and we have our own material to learn.
Well, what I see is the difference of our topic of conversation compared what we talked last year. Last year, we talked only about the school work, assignment, AUs, Grade, SU and other academic stuffs. Now, the conversation is mostly about love (girl or boy), relationship, share, life and more general things. I am so grateful that we have a closer relationship each other day by day and I am so grateful that I have family in this hectic Singapore. Hopefully, It can last until a long time.

| Some Physics Experiments |
My last two lab sessions were the Zeeman Effect and Faraday Effect. I could see by myself how physics was so beautiful after doing those experiment. I saw myself how the light can have the interaction with some properties. The Zeeman effect is the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field. It is about the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of an electric field.
The Faraday effect or Faraday rotation is a magneto-optical phenomenon, or an interaction between light and a magnetic field.

| The Silent Part of Me |
I kept thinking and asking in this day. How am I supposed to be ? Am I a talkative Septian, or a super silent Septian like several years ago. In the last three days, I wasn't talkative nor silent but I felt the strange thing in my conversation. Like today, it tends to be once in a moment answer but sometimes it hurts people. I think I should be silent for a moment and reduce the rate of "speaking". I hurt many people in this few days. Sorry friend...

| Untitled 4 |
rahasia - rahasia
apakah kamu hanya sebatas cahaya kata
berkuasakah engkau akan semua
yakinkah kau tidak akan sirna
di antara kita
sebaiknya tak usah mendua
jika langkah membuatmu buta
tak usahlah kau menjelma
biarlah kami saling percayaLabels: Melancholic |

| My Wishlist |
Well, recently I often browse from http://www.kutukutubuku.com and trying to search the books that it will be great for me if I have some of them to read. Hopefully, I can buy some of them when I go back to Indonesia. The first tetralogy is about Pramoedya Ananta Toer's books. I bought one one of them already which is entitled Bumi Manusia. Well, my friend told me that the novels will be more difficult to be understood. Perhaps, Pramoedya used more difficult language usage or more complex events. But, I don't know yet. Let's see how it will be.
 
The next is about trilogy from Andrea Hirata. Many of my friends told me about this book. I am curious and as if I am really eager to buy it. Besides, my friend in NTU until asked someone in Indonesia to send the novel to him. Huhuhu...I also want these books. Basically, these novels are about the child life of Andrea Hirata in Belitong. I myself don't know about where Belitong is.
Yes, finally I know what my friend told me at that time. He said that he wanted to learn Javanese language after reading this book written by Romo Magniz Suseno. I was shy I think I have lost my javanese ethics a bit nowadays. That's why I really wanna read it to know at least how my culture actually is.
This is Aditya Mulya's book. This tells about the trip to Barcelona. I think I will be more interested in the travelling part. The story is a bit, sorry, unclear. But, I think it will entertain me much. One thing that I don't understand is why there are many authors in one novel. Let's check it out later.
Well, the last book will be about love. Many people said that this novel uses the beautiful words. Just now, I thought that this Gilli Land was in Lombok. In fact, this is the madura-speaking-people land. Well, this novel is about love in Gilli island between Suamar and Suhada. Well, from the reviews, this novel is the sad ending one. Hihihi...I think this will be interesting.
After calculating all, I think I will spend :
Anak Semua Bangsa is Rp 68.000,00Jejak Langkah is Rp 77.750,00Rumah Kaca is Rp 70.550,00Laskar Pelangi is Rp 51.000,00Sang Pemimpi is Rp 34.000,00Edensor is Rp 33.150,00Etika Jawa is Rp 35.000,00Traveler's Tale is Rp 40.000,00Matahari di Atas Gilli is Rp 60.000,00
So, totally it will be Rp 469.450,00 or about 80 SGD. Well, let's save money for books. Wow...in Singapore, I can only buy 2 books with 80 dolar. :(
yayay...excited

| Online Relationship |
Just now, I argued a bit with my friend about the online relationship. I insist that it is not really good if it becomes the most influential part of our life. Well, life in the real world is still the best.

| About Me |
|
Name: -ian-
Home: Nanyang Crescent, Boon Lay, Singapore
About Me: When everything changes, I wanna still stay there calmly, and wait for the right time. I am surrounded by so called "radical" dreams. I don't know whether it is a form of idealism of a youth. But, be a doctor was my dream, but Physics came into me. ITB was my dream, but He gave NTU for me. Currently, I wanna be a high school teacher, researcher, journalist, writer, businessman, also want to study abroad again. It is unclear but it is fair. As far as I can, because I can jump higher as a true worshiper, as a true believer. Let me be a clay oh God, form me as You want.
