Day 8: Partner in Crime

July 17th 2013

Today was such a tiring day. We did an amazing race around Taipei. We went to Confucius Temple, Xinbeitou, Yongkang Street, etc. I am so happy that I could still maintain my fasting at that time, although a lot of foods (+ ICE CREAM) were just soooo tempting!!!

At night we have the farewell party. Can't believe it's over!! Time flies like an arrow. GOSSSHHH! At the farewell party, we exchanged our gifts, and I am so happy that my partner in crime gave me a cute pict of me and her in our own cultural dress. So who is she?? Let me introduce her... *jeng jeng jeeng* so her name is Ning Hsu. Ning means 'calm' and 'quiet' in Chinese. But the reality? The contradiction.

She's really talkactive and has so mny crazy ideas HAHAHA. She performed the Banana and Potato song by minions in the welcoming party. She talked a lot and she has that kind of cheerful personality. One of the crazy thing we did is that we asked a Japanese tourist to take a picture together in Pingsi. She's also very nice, she posted a photo of me holding Indonesian curry that sold in Seven Eleven, she put a caption that I gotta stop talking a lot because I will be very thirsty. OH ONE COOL THING, she can play guitar and sing! I hope to meet her again in the future!! :)

And second, Karen Uni, she's my best partner in the Table A group. She's so cute and I found a 'click' when we chat. She's the best companion when it comes to discussion and doing silly little things and gossip gossip :3 She's such a sweet person that she couldn't stop feel sorry when she was about to eat something delicious in front of me. When the evening started to come, she always ask whether I already can eat or not yet. She always ask whether I had enough eat at the break fasting or not

She never stops asking questions and started it with "can I ask you a question?" haha, and I miss her epic "he he he" sound, and her "what what what" and "ye ye ye ye ye". It's so KAREN UNI!

Realizing her cutie facial expression and body I sometimes worry about her self 'adventure' in England x_x but she nailed her first year already! Durham university bro and sist! How cool is that? Super cool! Well, the photo on the right was taken when we were at the Judicial Yuan (our legal visit). No, no, it's not my clothe, I wore the Prosecutor's coat provided on the higher court of Taiwan.

I just want to thank Karen for always being so nice and kinda 'trash bin' for my stories anywhere. I guess you were the one I looked for when I want to share ST stories and anything! Keep contact and can't wait to meet you in Hongkong or Indonesia, or another part of the world. Don't forget that we have a mission: eating Yongkang Street's shaved ice cream together. Pssst the strawberry one's the best!!

That's all for today's post. I met sooooo many amazing delegates from people all around Asian countries. Knowledge broadened!

XOXO,
NSA.

Best Delegate in TEIMUN 2014: Have Faith, It Will Lead You Anywhere You Want

I love travelling since I was born (haha sounds nonsense) but really! I was very lucky to conquer some parts of USA and Europe in my early age. It's because of my father. He had his master in Pittsburgh and my mother followed him there. Unluckily, I remember nothing. I could just stare on the beautiful printed photos inside every page of some big albums in the house. When I reached the third year of my university, I found an activity that might bring me back to USA. Yes, it was a Model United Nations. It is a simulation of United Nations Assembly. As the name suggests, Model United Nations, or more commonly known as MUN, is an academic simulation of the United Nations. Basically, delegates inside an MUN will act as a representative of a nation state and convey its stances upon certain global issues. Through MUN, delegates will have the opportunity to learn more about diplomacy, public-speaking, critical thinking and also legal drafting. The MUN that I was talking about was Harva

Suka Duka Wartawan Tempel AHY-Sylvi

Tepat satu minggu sudah, saya tidak bergerilya. Haha bukan bukan, bukan lagi perang kok. Ituloh, istilah buatan Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) untuk kegiatan kampanye-nya setiap tatap muka dengan masyarakat. Duh. Iya, sejak bulan Oktober 2016 tiap hari saya liputan gerilya AHY. Gimana sih rasanya tiap hari liputan hal yang sama selama 4 bulan? Awalnya kirain bakal bosen. Ternyata setelah akhirnya nggak gerilya… Ku menyadari… Rindu itu nyesek yah. Lebay? Sesuai janji, ini nih, ceritanya… --- Bulan Oktober lalu saya mendapat kepercayaan untuk menempel pasangan calon DKI nomor urut 1, Agus Yudhoyono (Mas Agus) dan Sylviana Murni (Mpok Sylvi). Sepertinya kantor tahu saya junior-nya Mas Agus di SMA Taruna Nusantara (yaa meski terpautnya jauh banget sik 13 tahun!) Sehingga diharapkan saya bisa cepat dekat dengan Mas Agus secara personal. Saya sempat khawatir tidak bisa objektif dalam membuat berita. Tetapi kemudian saya yakinkan (cielah yakinkan, bahasa AHY banget) bahwa saya

Jadikan SMA Taruna Nusantara Hebat Kembali

Sebuah tulisan refleksi dari seorang alumni. Jujur, perlu waktu beberapa jam untuk memahami berita tewasnya seorang adik siswa SMA Taruna Nusantara. Hingga saat ini pun masih sangat sulit untuk mempercayai hal ini. Lebih tepatnya, batin saya menolak untuk percaya. Ketika mendapati informasi bahwa aparat kepolisian telah turun tangan menangani proses penyidikan, barulah saya mau menelan pil pahit ini. Meski rasanya... lebih dari pahit. Entah kata sifat apa yang bisa menggambarkan perasaan yang sebenarnya. Kaget, sedih, kecewa. Semua larut dan bergolak dalam jiwa. Awan tebal menyelimuti relung kalbu saya. Memang, saya tidak kenal dengan adik yang menjadi korban ini. Tapi rasa memiliki kami sebagai alumni terhadap almamater sangat kuat. Rasanya seperti adik sendiri. Bagaimana tidak, kami semua pernah merasakan ditempa di kawah candradimuka kampus biru SMA Taruna Nusantara, sekolah yang digadang-gadang menghasilkan pemimpin bangsa. Kami semua berjuang melewati hari tanpa orang tu
