Goodbye French, Hello Dutch!

I'm excited and shocked at the same time.
Finally!!!
Why am I shocked? The host family crisis in Belgium France hasn't got away so they transferred me to Belgium Flanders and there, someone actually wants to host me! How can I not be excited?
The folks who took care of my program said they were sorry for not being able to find me a host family in BFR and this might let me down since I was only prepared to go to the French part...

I learned a little French at school. I was far from a bright student, I skip class a lot, failed tests, and Mademoiselle hated me. When I found out I will be sent to the French part of Belgium in this exchange program, I thought it was a joke... or a curse. But I took it anyway. I don't care how bad my french was I decided to join a French course as a preparation of my exchange program. I also bought the book 'French for Dummies'.
But yeah typical me I didn't finish the course (God, my classmates were freaks I couldn't stand it). So, I was depending on that dummy book. When I started reading, I got confused and lost. I thought this book was for dummies but it was harder than I thought! Am I even dumber then dummies? Who knows.. O_o
That was the end of my French preparation. After that I was just relying on arriving in Belgium and learn French there. Now, you understand why you don't need to be sorry right? I have learned nothing about French (except for asking a bathroom pass at school) and I'm kind of glad about it HAHA. Seriously, not because I don't like French or anything. I just don't have a really good relationship with that language.

I'm freaking happy that I have to bare no more pressures of people asking about my flights!! I even bought another dummy book (dutch edition). I'm leaving next Monday (September 17th, 2012).

I have to be honest that I know some of my people are not very happy about this decision (agreeing to switch from BFR to BFL), but then again, I don't care :-)
I'm the one thats leaving. If there was supposed to be any disappointment, it should be me who's mad, not you! And guess what? I'm not disappointed at all! In fact, I really can't wait for Monday and have my adventure!

Opwijk, Vlaams-Brabant... See you on Tuesday!!

What I'm Gonna Miss The Most

Wush...

See? In two weeks I've already given you a prove of how disloyal I am to this blog. I told you about making a cover of Michael's songs but it never happened. Hahahaha

Today I'm going to list all of things that I'm gonna miss the most during my exchange program.

What program? Wait, have I mentioned this before?

Next Thursday, I was supposed to be leaving for a 10-month student exchange program in Belgium France. Sadly, my flight was postponed for the second time due to unavailable host families.
I know that they have been working very hard on finding us; students from throughout the world host families. So let's just hope that this time it's going to be on September 14th for sure. No more cancellations.

Back to the topic of the day... I'm not gonna mention general things such as my family, friends, home, school, etc cause obviously they're on the top five of my list. Well, lets just hop on to the next...
6. My Laptop and The Sims 3. I play this pathetic game all the time, and I'm not gonna bring my laptop along with me to Belgium. 10 months without them? Will I survive?
7. Tempe Goreng Tepung. My all-time favorite food/snack/side-dish/whatever you wanna call it. I can eat Tempe with anything and still tastes delicious. Now this is gonna be hard.
8. Having Pizza Hut Delivery or Crunchy Salmon Mentai with older bro. Nothing beats having meals with Ray, especially with these yummy food.
9. Shopping at Mall Ambassador/ITC Kuningan. Well, It's not exactly shopping since I'm not actually a buyer type. But I really enjoy going there with friends because I get to give them fashion advices, even though I'm not a fashionista.
10. Fashion Disaster. As I have told you before, I'm not a fashion freak. Sometimes my girls from Junior High School and I would hang out at one of our houses, mix and match all clothing in our closets and then start an amateur photo session with ourself as models. I can't remember why, but since our first session we started calling it Fashion Disaster.
11. A ride home with Harsya and Myeshia. Lets say my house stands at the edge of Jakarta Selatan and my school is at the other side of the edge. I usually ride on public transportations and it takes around two hours long and the fact that Jakarta is one of the most crowded and polluted city doesn't make it any better. So when Harsya started driving to school, Myeshia and I had never missed a chance to join him. Nothings better than a free ride home, especially a fun one ;-)
12. Physics Tutor with Mrs. Susy & Furqon's Red Wheel. I may only experienced 2 months of this tutoring, but damn! I don't care whether her house is located in Bekasi (which is very far from my house and I always have to ride with Furqon's car) or that my friends who were in this tutor are all unbelievably insane. It was a fun time. I'm not being a car connoisseur or whatever, but of all my friends' cars, Furqon's four-wheeler is my favorite. Every time I get inside, I can always smell the scent of colorful flowers. Seriously, it calms you down... Oh, and I love the dorky look of his Santa 'Brittany' Clause dolls.
13. Anyer mates. Last trip to Anyer was madness, but totally worth the fun!!
14. Indomie Goreng.  Now this is Indonesian best junk food! yum!! :9
15. Mbak Tobi. She's been with me since 2nd Grade (until now). Not that I'm a spoiled brat, but still.. what would I do without her?
16. TBI. I've spent two years long learning english in TBI Kuningan. Starting from conversation class with lots of workers and then moved to London Class (a class name for GE) where I meet my awesome teachers & mates; Sasya, Eve, Andra, Erez, Mini, Nick, Krisna, Duma, Etc..


Well thats it for now... I can't think of other things to be listed... maybe later I'm gonna add some more.
See ya :p
