Ophiucus

Well, there are a lot of things in life that I would love to do. I sometimes wonder why time just pass me by and not give me a chance to just stop and enjoy everything I’ve got.

Reading my introduction it seems that having an eternal life is a wonderful thing, but is it really true? Do you realize what lies beyond it?

What is the scariest thing in life? Death? Being forgotten? Being left behind all alone?

If I were granted with an eternal life, I would be facing all those three scary things. I have to face the death of so many people that I love. I have to withstand being forgotten and having no one. What will it be?

What makes our life so meaningful? It’s not the length of life that matters, but what we have done in our life that gives our life a true meaning. Why makes human life so precious? The fragility, the short-length of life are things that make life beautiful and precious.

So, have you done something for your life today?

I am 90.1 kg.

I lost at the paper competition. I don’t know about you guys, but I feel that my lost was not a fair one. I lost because what I’ve believed in and in this cruel country I think it is possible to lose that way. Anyway, I’ve lost that competition and I don’t regret the experience I’ve got during that.

Yesterday, 3 of my friends were announced as the student exchange participants to Genome Institute of Singapore. I don’t know, but somehow I didn’t register myself and now I felt rather sorry for myself and envious. 2 of them are very good friends of mine which I chose as my paper partners for their wits and their logics.

Sometimes I feel that I have to be braver in facing this harsh world. I have to take every chances lie in front of me. I’m not going to miss those chances anymore.

On May 30 I’m going to start my research about dengue viruses in NAMRU. I am going to work hard and do my best to graduate in 3.5 years.

I want to go to Sweden for my Master degree. I don’t know which course I should take. I am still confused whether to take Neurobiology, Applied Biotechnology, Molecular Medical Diagnosis, and Pharmaceutical Engineering.

Right now, I need to identify the Bacillus sphaericus first and watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. I also need to finish a lot of tasks first.

It’s amazing how time flies and we don’t realize it until it has past us. I often wonders how can I miss so many things in life. So many things to do in so little time and yet my friends keep asking me where do I get my "extra" time. Hahaha.

I am 89.8 kg.

Yup, there are going to be some topics written here.

The first topic is about my trip to Cibodas. It was a great one. I went there with my fellow laboratory assistants. Well, we really did explore the national park. We searched for some mushrooms and also took some soil.

I also got the chance to see the Amorphophallus titanum, the big and smelly flower. Hehe. It was quite hard to find that flower. We searched the national park from the valley to the summit, yet we found nothing. Just when we thought we wouldn’t be able to find it, we were told by our laboratory technician that the flower was close to the bus park.

The second topic is about Pastamatrix. Yup, I went to that restaurant a few days ago with some of my friends. My ordered dish was good but not Nani’s. I could  see her struggling putting the pasta inside her mouth. Hahahaha.

The third topic is about Jakarta traffic jam. I’ve experienced the jam in Jakarta. During my stay in Jakarta, I’ve only been driven by a friend once and he drove smoothly and carefully. But, he’s an exception. The rest of my friends drive recklessly and a bit hectic. Listening to the story around me, I’ve come to the conclusion that Jakarta traffic jam is caused by reckless driver all around Jakarta.

The fourth topic is about my weight. I really don’t know what’s going on but I keep on gaining and gaining weight. This is scary.

The fifth topic is about the paper competition I’m involved. This competition is starting to get on my nerves. I have to skip classes from Monday to Friday. I really hate this.

Well, that’s all I could tell you for the moment.

I am 89.5 kg (see, I’ve told you this is getting scary).

Today I read a very shocking news. Melinda Doolittle was kicked from American Idol. This is crazy. From the start until the latest performances, she was almost impeccable. I think she is the best American Idol contestant ever.

America should see and hear better.
