My Passions, Dreams, and Goals.

Hello there, now in this post I would like to share about my passions, dreams, and goals, which mean a lot to me.
Since I was a toddler I have always been mesmerized by the national geographic channel. I always like those programs that showed laboratory science and things. I like how the people in the program doing those chemistry things which utilize the scientific theories and breaks them down so it looks interesting in the audiences' eyes.I also like how they experiment thinfs in an interesting way. It really fascinated me in many ways so that I am now particularly like pure science because of that. But even though I like those things, my current real passion is musical and theatrical things. I play violin and participate in my school's theatre club. Doing those things which utilize the right side of the brain balances out the usage of our brain, so we can learn more efficiently, theorically saying. But really, I have firsthand experience how music and things help me balances out my emotional side so I can study bettee and get good grades.
Long ago someone from my family, I don't remember who, went overseas and stayed there for a few years and returned. I heard the stories about places overseas, and it was awesome. I was blown away by the stories of how much Indonesia differs in many ways. Since then, I have always been longing to study abroad, and if possible, live overseas-preferrably in America or French or Korea or Japan. But really I would be grateful if I can live overseas anywhere but here. I longed to get out of here.
I dont really have any particular goal in mind, because I am not the kind of person who makes a chart or plan and then follows it. But if things get rough, I always remind myself of one thing : study well so you can live overseas. That one simple thought helps me get through everythig for the past years. I really think I should get a good settlement and good job overseas so I can support my family here in Indonesia while I live my dreams abroad.

Storytelling

The Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf

This isn’t the usual cliche horror story. This is not a story that has a happy ending. This is actually, a story of the wolf.

So, as you know, the wolf is a fearsome creature. He ruled the woods alone. He topped the food chain in the woods. The wolf has a secret. He was lonely. He grew up in a pack of wolf. He was used to having much skinship and cuddlings. Outside, he might be the fearsome big bad wolf but inside he was a fuzzy teddy bear.

The Red Riding Hood is devastated. She didn;t know whether she could continue to live like. The thing is, she had just lost her dear grandmother due to old age. Her one and only  guardian and the figure she looks up to. Now it’s only her against the world. Sure, the villagers would keep their promise to look after her, but it wouldn’t be the same as before.

She used to be an energetic, lively and talkative child, but since her loss it changed. The villager who took care of her, Tina, have repeatedly found her crouched inside her wardrobe, crying and hyperventilating, shivering out of fear. She had trouble sleeping because she often had severe panic attacks whenever she sleeps. Whenever she closes her eyes and sleep all hell breaks loose and she would scream on top of her lung, tears streaming down her face. She would spend the rest of the night tucked inside her wardrobe, shivering.

But the one place where she could act normal is in the woods. She don’t know why, but she feels safe in the woods, contrary to what the villagers’ said about the woods. She would escape her caretaker to the woods.

And one point, the wolf noticed that there was a change of atmopshere. He smelled something different, like an electric current hanging in the air. Suddenly he caught a scent. A scent so strong it hurt his olfactory buds just by smelling it. It brought the image of a safe haven to his mind. He rushed forward, searching for the owner of the scarce scent. He skidded to a halt when he found the owner of the scent was a little girl. Wet, cold, shivering child. She was sitting between two big roots of a tree and pulling her knees closer to support her weighing little head.  He could practically smell massive fear blossoming from her tiny stature, a contradiction that conjured sense of sympathetical uneasiness in his heart.

He broke down at the sight. How could a child be so miserable and devastated? He whimped and insctinctively strode closer to the child. She glanced up, not even surprised by a small measure that a big rowdy wolf was coming toward her. He nudged her by her shoulder. She croaked “Go away”, and tossed aside her body and hugged herself, clearly trembling out of nothing. He tried something else, he pushed forward so that his body was wrapped around the little girl. She cant help but lean to the warmth of the wolf. He snuggled closer and put his snout under his paw. She hugged him and calmed down. They stayed like that for a while, until she finally fell asleep.

That was only an example of how they spent their encounters in the woods. Her caretakers began to worry though, that the red riding hood would someday go into the woods, and never come back. The fear growed bigger everyday, because the red riding hood spent more time in the woods doing god knows what than in her house. Sure she no longer suffer from panic attacks and seizures since she began to spend time in the woods, but her caretaker was aware that there were dangers lurking in every corners of the woods. She warned red riding hood frequently about it, but everytime she would go into a fit of rage and escaped into the woods, again. She remembers that the village once had a problem long time ago because the villagers went missing in the woods, so clearly she has reasons for her fear.

So the caretaker told the other villagers about the problem, and they decided that no, the red riding hood can no longer visit the woods,for her own safety.

She Ran away to the woods the next day.

Amazing Place : N Seoul Tower

Hullo! Now in this post I would like to share with you an amazing place which is N Seoul Tower.
N oul Tower is a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. It marks the highest point in Seoul. Built in 1969, and at a cost of approximately $2.5 million, the tower was opened to the public in 1980. Seoul Tower was completed on December 3, 1971, designed by architects jangjongryul. By August 1975, the third floor of the observatory room, museum, open hall, souvenir shop, and the other facilities, were open. The tower was open to the public for the first time on October 15, 1980. Since then, the tower has been a landmark of Seoul. It measures 236.7 m (777 ft) in height from the base and tops out at 479.7 m (1,574 ft) above sea level. It changed its name to N Seoul Tower in 2005. The "N" stands for 'new,' 'Namsan,' and 'nature.' Approximately 15 billion won was spent in renovating and remodeling the tower.
There are many amazing spots for enjoying Namsan Tower, but most people enjoy the top view because it is simply amazing. There is a place called The Love Padlocks, this place is called that because there is an iron framework that is filled with padlocks that people hang. these padlocks represent their relationships to last forever. After hanging those padlocks, they would throw away the keys.
There is also a place called The Teddy Bear Museum. This place is a heaven for those who like Teddy Bears. Because this place is filled with teddy bears. The teddy bears are placed like a miniature of historical scenes interestingly so we are entertained with it.

An Utterly Unforgettable Experience

So I'm here to tell you something about me, well, my experience to be exact. So last year around July or August my family and I decided to have a trip to Singapore. It's a 3 days and 2 night trip. We departed from Husein airport in the first flight on that day, which was in the dawn and me not being a morning person of course woke up late, which could have jeopardized our whole plan. But thank god I packed well last night so we weren't late despite me waking up late. We arrived at Changi airport on 7 or 8 o'clock I forgot. This is probably something that many people had said about it but I need to say it myself, Changi airport is awesome. Seriously, free wifi, cozy place, library and mart not too far away and awesome beanie chairs? Heaven. But the outside world offers more fantastic and diverse entertainments... So we departed from Changi to our hotel, with the help of a friendly tourist guide. He explained every basic things necessary to survive the next 3 days. Such as the local mosque and the restaurants with no pork near our hotel.

So after checking in and dumping our luggage to the hotel, we planned to explore our surroundings. Here's a fun fact : riding the subway is fun. Well I must sound a bit immature, but I really did enjoy going in and out of the subway, plus it is very convenient. Nevertheless, we reached the Merlion, statue with a fish for the lower body and a lion for its upper body and head. There we did some sightseeing for an hour or two, then we walked around and took more pictures. My sister and I acquired ourselves a map from the vendors around, we found the location of Chinatown there, so we went there, again by subway.  The Chinatown is a busy place that was always buzzing with life, it was so crowded but we managed to trudge our way through. We bought some souvenirs there, I bought myself a watch, it was a vintage and I really liked it. Oh yeah there my sister and I found a store that sells everything about Tintin, we got really excited there, there was this real life size statue of Captain Haddock and we took many photos with it. We spend the remaining day eating and sightseeing through the town, and when we got really exhausted we went back to our hotel.

The next day my uncle had a plan for us, we were going to the universal studio of singapore. We departed from our hotel at 8 or 9 o'clock. We arrived soon and as soon as we reach the venue my sister went mad taking photos. Inside, we were welcomed by a costplay parade, there were Betty Boop, Dora, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Cleopatra etc. Again, my sister went into a frenzy of taking photos again. Going farther, a huge twin roller coaster just literally burst into existence. It was huge, full of loop, and seemed very scary. I rode the ride. It was exhilirating, and refreshing. My sister threw up when we got off the ride, too much for breakfast I guess. After that we passed through more themed areas such as The Madagascar and The Mummies. Oh, there was also a ride at The Mummies area, to get onto this ride we had to go underground through a series of tunnel, it was dark and gloomy so it was a bit scary, but it was exciting though. After riding that the elders and my little sister got exhausted so they got a place in the near restaurant so I circled around more with my sister. There were many street performances and it was awesome. We went back to our hotel when we got exhausted, but we were satisfied and happy.

The next day wasn’t so much fun because we were busy packing and preparing going home, not to mention we got school and homework waiting for us. So we got onto the noon flight and arrived safely in Bandung around 3 o’clock.

A Journal : Matswapati

So last Saturday on September 27th my school had a festival. The festival was also to celebrate the 204th anniversary of Bandung, so the festival was heavily imbued with Sundanese culture, because obviously Bandung is the capital of West Java. The title of the festival was Matswapati taken from a 'wayang' (somekind of dolls made from leather or wood and played with our hands) with the same name. Like I mentioned before, the festival was heavily imbued with Sundanese-ish culture shown by the decorations and foods available there. The festival took place at Bali St., in Lapangan Bali (Bali Field).
So at 7 in the morning, a parade that circled around Bali St. opened the festival, next there was a speech given by our headmaster, the mayor of Bandung, Ridwan Kamil also came and gave a speech.
Next there was some performances I think, I couldn't remember what was which because I was busy keeping the decorations from falling apart. Moving on, at 12.30 there was a performance by our school's theatre kids, or also known as T'sT. It was hilarious, the performance was about a man who was being promiscuous but then he was discovered and yeah, followed by some more drama afterwards. But nonetheless it was fun watching it.
After that, hours passed by. At 5 pm the show was coming to its climax. The gate to the festival was about to be closed so there were many visitors who came around this time.
After a break, the guest star of the festival, Glen Fredly came along around 6.30 PM. He sang a number of his hit songs such as 'Terserah' and many more. Around 8 PM, I think, the festival was coming to the end, but sadly I couldnt see the closing ceremony because I went home earlier.

A Biography

Hi! Welcome to my blog, my name is Muhammad Ramadhan Sulaiman but you can just call me Rama. I go to Bandung's 3 Senior High School. I was born on January 15th 1999. My father is Sundanese and my mother equally has Javanese and Sundanese blood runs through her veins, hence making me confused which race do I actually belong. But since I am currently living in Bandung, capital of beloved West Java, I declare myself as Sundanese. Moving on. I have 2 sisters, one older and one younger. My older sister is 5 years older than me, she is in college, she learns about tourism and hotel. My younger sister is 5 years younger than me, she is in elementary school, she is in 5th grade.
My hobby always changes depending on my curiosity at the time. One time I got interested in knitting so I literally mastered knitting, even though I have never accomplished knit anything afterwards. I also play an instrument, violin. I never really got the chance to get a higher level of formal education for violin more than the basics, so I am not very confident in this particular hobby, ha ha.. Moving on. Oh I actually do have a constant attraction toward reading novels and collecting poetry. I usually read novels when I have nothing to do. I am a bit picky about my books to be honest. And about poetry, I collect them in my phone and sometimes write them down myself. But usually it turns out bad so I rarely write poetry anymore.
My one and only dream is studying overseas. I'd like to picture myself 5 or 10 years later overseas with a good job and happy life. So to achieve that I plan to enlist on a good college and then I will work/study my head off to get a scholarship so I can go oversea. And I really really do hope getting a job that I will enjoy doing it.
There is really nothing worth writing about me, so #ahem I do have a difficulty in expressing myself in words, and I am currently trying to overcome that, while I continue to struggle to survive high school. That is all from me thank you for reading my rattle.

My Friend

Hullo there, now in this second post in my blog I’d like to describe a bit of my friend, Yazid.
Well, his full name is Naufal Yazid. And since Naufal is a common name and many people will respond in the same time when I call ‘’Naufal”, I call him Yazid to differentiate him. His was born on August 6th 1999. And he is a Moslem. His dream is to become an architect.
And one thing that stands out about him is his brain. He is ridiculously s Yeah he likes AKB48 so much he is always watching their performance video whenever we have free period. He is very smart, like he effortlessly got first rank in class and even at school. And while managing to maintain a perfect score, he is a certified fanboy of AKB48.
He lives at Komplek Permata Kopo Blok A No.60 40227 Sayati. It is a bit far from our school, oh and by the way, we graduated from the same junior high school, 5JHS. So yeah I know a bit about him earlier. He has one older sister, her name is Salma Fauzia. She is a student at Telkom University.
So, here is a photo of him, feast your eyes, thank you for reading, bye!
