This day was the last day of June 2012, the first half of 2012 will have been passed. That morning, I played Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge after cleaned myself. That afternoon, Golfin came. He copied The Legend of Korra; and played games (Frozen Bubble and then Pro Evolution Soccer). We played Spain – Italy (2-1; me using Spain); England – Netherlands (0-4; me using England); and Manchester City – Bolton Wanderers (HT:0-4; FT: 6-4; a.e.t.; us using Manchester City for the first half). Around 4, I went to swimming. The night, I just did some usual activities: Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, etc; plus designing some random sites, just for pleasure.

This is the last day of me in Rainbow School, an English course in Jl. HOS Cokroaminoto. I’ve been in that course since I am still 5 (TK B; 2nd year of Kindergarten). Since then, I’ve met many friends, taught by many teachers, and been in many classroom.

I’ve joined many level (in ascending order): “Dragon Rabbit”, “Koala”, (forget the order: “Smurf”, “Unicorn”, and one more) “Ninja Turtle”, “Super Ninja”, “New Interchange-1”, “New Interchange-2”, “New Interchange-3”, “Passage-1”, and finally “Passage-2”.

The only friend who started in the same year like me is Jennifer Tandratama. She and I have been in the same class since then until today. (except last year’s class: she quit for a year because he business in her new school before returning back).

I’ve been taught by many teachers: teacher Susi(I’ve forget which level), teacher Eddy (I’ve forget which level), teacher Jemmy (Super Ninja), teacher Jonto (NI-1 and NI-3), teacher Andrie (NI-2), teacher Dewi H. (P-1), teacher Veni (P-2), (with Mr. Herbert, whose main job is as a lawyer) and the others who I forget their names.

Today, our class performed “We are Young“, “Count on Me“, and “What Makes You Beautiful“. The preparation was very minimal. It was just on Monday that we were told to have performed today. That day, I had never listened to Count on Me before. Today, the performance started at 8. We rehearsed it together for the first and the last time until the very end of the time limit. Well, the performance gone well, with all the evening-class students and their teachers watching, but I’ve noticed a slight error in our singing What Makes You Beautiful. After the performance, our certificates are given by our teacher. It was not 9 yet, we have photos until it was 9. When it was 9, our teacher distributed our report book, with me having the 1st rank and she also gave me a gift: a pencil case with 4 colour pens inside: blue, green, red, and black. Thank you. This is our class member: me, Eddy, Jennifer T., Cindyana, Jessi, Tommy, Kevin J., Vera L., Zulianto C., Meta W. It was such a great year with you all. You all will be missed. :)

Our teacher this year, teacher Veni, was focused on doing activities such as debate, news reading, story telling, cooking demo, presentation, promotion, singing, etc. Our class was regularly split into groups. Sometimes the class was split into 2 group: boys and girls. Sometimes the class was split into 5 groups consisting of 2 people: mostly a couple. In a couple, I’ve ever teamed with Jennifer and Cindyana. Whenever I teamed with Jennifer, I thought that the project went not so well as it was some kind of imbalanced: she was so talkative while I’m not. But it went well with Cindyana, she was doing the parts when I’m stuck; and I continued it when she’s stuck. This project ever involved people outside the school. We have ever interviewed Western people in Emerald Garden Hotel.

Last Saturday, 9 June 2012, we thrown our graduation dinner in Nelayan Merak Jingga. There was 10 of us, plus teacher Veni, teacher Jonto, and our ex-classmate: Ryan Octosa. We took may photos there. I think that our time spent on taking photos are longer than that on eating. We ordered sweet-and-sour fish fillet, 2-flavour fried chicken, fried noodle, and hot-plate-and-sauced prawn.

Last Sunday, 10 June 2012, Rainbow had their grand opening on their new branch at Asia Mega Mas. We’ve been there since 9 am. We were told to do promotion about the school to the audience. We also have a stand for selling accessories. The boys and the girls take turn to do them. Around 1.30pm, I, Eddy, Jennifer, Vera, and Ms. Dewi joined the tarot-card fortune-telling. The fortune-teller told each of us about our love. He told me that now I’m “standing, watching, and waiting for something”. The positive character of me is “When I strike, I strike right into the point” (when I say, I’ll say it just to the point). The negative one is I am like “a moon-sun which didn’t listen to any friends” (can be happy and sad at a time without caring the surroundings). After this fortune-telling stuff, we watched our friend Tommy, also with my sister Sophie, and the others, performing on the stage the song “Price Tag”. The other friends whom we told that we have joined the fortune-telling interested in doing the same. The went upstairs to queue for this fortune-telling. We also went to the rooftop of the building. It was a 4-storey building. On the rooftop, we could see the mountains. There, the wind blown very strong. The grand opening stuff ended on 4 pm. I was very tired. They still went to Matador Country to have some more fun; I was told that they were there until 8 pm.

9 June 2012

I was thinking of a holiday full of fun, no studies, no tuition. But they all gone wrong. The annual games in school called P2S1 that usually held on January or February is held on June. This week, I have gone to school almost everyday in the morning to join that games. On Monday, there was Programming Contest; on Thursday, there was “cepat tepat”; on Saturday, there was Graphic Design Contest. On 5-6 June, I also join National Science Olympiad at Province level (OSP) at Berastagi. There was also 2 TWoS held in this week. One on Monday, one on Friday. Tomorrow, my English tuition will held a grand opening at their new branch, and my class are tasked to market their course. What a tiring week.

This week, I have not gone to Johnson tuition at all. That was because: on Monday, I’m too tired after the programming contest in the P2S1; on Tuesday, I have gone to Berastagi to join OSP; on Wednesday, I have not returned yet from OSP; on Thursday, I must go to English tuition to discuss the things on Sunday; on Friday, the teacher couldn’t come; on Saturday, I didn’t have class. Hence, this is the first time (excluding holiday times; Johnson got very less holiday) I haven’t gone to Johnson tuition in a week.

I must go to my physics tuition in 20 times this semester and until the end of May, I just done it around 8 times. In this month, I must finish that tuition. My father yesterday asked me to join a TOEFL-preparation class which is held on 11-15 and 18-22 June. The normal tuition (maths, physics, also English) have not ended yet.

I have so many things to do in this June. I just want to rest. My plans are to rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender; and replay Kingdom Hearts. But I think they all have to wait until next year. :'( I need some  rest. Yes, I need some rest.

Update: At night, my father told me that when he register me, the TOEFL-preparation class is full and I can’t join the class.
