Yeah today's weather is totally bad... Actually, the weather has been bad since yesterday.. It is really hot that i had been sweating like mad.. When i stepped out from my house, i started to sweat due to the heat... The heat is really unbearable... Can you all imagine the temperature today is 41 degree? The temperature in Seattle is even hotter in Asia... Like XL said 41 degree=fever...Furthermore, my room does not have air con or fan...

Yesterday, i went to looked for fan with my friend at Factoria. I was looking for fan at three stores in Factoria which are Target,Safeway and Rite Aid. Not even a single store has fan.. All the fans are sold out... I was thinking that i think i could bear with the heat without fan or air con but in the end i could not bear it... The whole night, i cannot do anything because of the heat...

Today in the afternoon, i went to move some of my things again. Thanks to William for helping me...Furthermore today's temperature is even hotter than yesterday.. it is 41 degree.. Today is the highest temperature that Seattle has ever reach during Summer season... Before moving my stuff, to my new house, we went to look for fan at QFC and Walgreen.. The fan were sold out at both of this places.. William heard that fan will be arriving at Walgreen.. When we went there, the fan already out of stock.. The sales person told us that the fans were being sold out within half an hour.. I was pretty shocked by that... Due to the super hot weather, people are craving for fan... After that, we went to my house to put some of my stuff.. When i moved my stuff to my room, i found a fan. I quickly called my new houseparent to ask whether can i borrow the fan.. At first she said she needed it.. Then i confirmed with her again the fan at my going to be room.. Finally she said ok.. I was asking her did she had another extra fan.. She said she do not have it.. After moving, we went to Fred Meyer to check for fan again but the was out of stock.. The fans were sold out at 8 am in the morning... When we are not successful finding the fan, we decided to just go back home... My room now had a fan.. Thank god for it...It is really better but i still need to open my window.. :D

Now i have to end here and everyone in Seattle just bear with the weather for awhile.. Those who just went back to Indonesia from Seattle.. You are really lucky.. :D Finally, those people in Asia, appreciate the good weather that you have.. :D
Anyway, i am very excited that i will be going back to Indo and visit Singapore soon.. :D

Cheers,
Steffi



First of all, sorry for not updating my blog for so long and to start of my post, let me update about my birthday.. Someone keep on asking me to update about my birthday.. hahahaha... :D On 24th June- 26th June i went to the leadership retreat together with the school... Some of my indonesian friends also went to the camp. The people are: Billy,Janet,Stella,Karen,Michelle,Jesan,Yosua and William. It was really amazing and exciting camp.. I was really having fun there... If you wanted to know what happened at the camp, you can take a look at the photo that me and my friends posted it at facebook.. Now let me talk about what happened to my birthday..

On 25th June, it was couple of my friends birthday but they did not go for the camp.. There was only one person who came to the camp and her birthday fell on 25th June... I already knew that they were planning for something for her but i just kept quiet... After the rope course, we had dinner.. I saw couple of my Indonesian friends were talking to the one of the camp instructors, i was already guessing that she will be giving surprise to my friend but i was not expecting that it was also for me.. While i was queuing for my dinner, Janet said to me that she already took fork and spoon for me.. So i just sat down where she put my fork and spoon.. She put it at the table where all my indonesian friends were sitting.. :D During in the middle of the dinner, one of my camp instructor together with some of the camp organizer, brought up a cake and balloon.. Furthermore, they sang happy birthday together with the rest of the campers.. I was asked to stand.. I thought it was only for Karen.. Fun Birthday with surprise.. hahahhaha... :D I actually not expecting them to celebrate my birthday during the camp because it will be very troublesome but they did it.. Really proud and appreciate what they had done for the birthday celebration...

On 26th June, That was my actual birthday.. hahahahha... In the morning, before breakfast, i was really not expecting anything... As, i was not expecting anything, i was being tricked by them... Around 7.30 am, we were suppose to gather for breakfast.. I was following them around.. Some of them said that they wanted to go to the washroom, so i just waited at the barrack... The barrack has two exits.. Usually, we went out by the left hand side exit because it will be nearer to go to the canteen... Instead of going that way, we went out at the right hand side of the exit.. While walking almost near the end of the barrack,Billy,William and Janet suddenly popped out... I was really shock because i saw William holding a brownie with a candle on top of it.. They started to sing birthday song again... While they sang the birthday song, the candle was off because the wind blew and they had to light up again... After blowing the candle, they passed a me a card and eventually we went to gather for breakfast... Thank you to guys so much.. I was not expecting any surprise for my birthday but you all did it for me.. I was really shocked by it and i really appreciate the memory that you created for my birthday.. :D

On June 30th, We went to Cafe Ori for dinner and I treated them.. hahahahaa... I was really having fun talking to them.. The people who came are: Jennifer,Yunita,Jesan,Karen,Janet,Caca,Billy,William,Henny,Lenny,Johan,Yosua,Michael,
Stephen,Ismail,Radius,Calvin,Andre,Alvin,Kenneth,Patrick and Steffie... I chose that date because some of them will be going back to Indo and we would not see each other again.. So, i wanted to have this dinner so that we can gather and in the same time to celebrate my birthday.. I was fooled again for the second time.. This time round, the mercer boys bought a cake for me.. I was shocked by it but i really felt happy... Here are some of the pictures..

This part are the events happened on 24th and 25th June..

I don't really understand why there are some people's treatment towards others are so fake? Why can't they just be truth towards themselves? They should know that they are fake towards someone but why they still do it? If they are fake, it also mean that they are lying towards themselves.. If you don't like someone to be around you then just tell the truth.. Why must you use a lot of reasons just to cover that? In fact, it does not work at all.. People can see it...

In this world there are two types of friends. One is really true friends and another one is fake friends.. True friends will always be there for you. While for fake friends, they find you because they want something from you... Personally, i think its better to find friends that truth and straight forward towards you even though sometimes it might hurt you how they delivered the message because they are the people who can correct your mistakes, be truth and accept whoever you are... While fake friends, they only want to be around you because they want something from you.. They try to be fake so that they get close with you and get the things they want and after that, they left...

Personally i think if we want other people to change, we should change ourselves first... Introspect yourselves first then you can expect others to change.. I agree that people have their negative points but they also should understand other people negative points. Then they can worked well but if you don't understand the people and you expect them to change, then that does not improve anything in your friendship especially relationship...

Lastly, how would you feel when someone doesn't invite you for dinner while the rest of your friends are there? Furthermore, you don't even know that they are having dinner.. When you call one of your friends, he or she told you that they are having dinner or just finished having dinner... After that, one of your friends that was having dinner asked you why you did not go? Personally, i will feel hurt even you do not expect them to invite you... Especially, the reason they did not invite you because they forgot about it..

I think its better to be patient and someday you will receive more... :D

Finally i updated my blog again.. After someone asking me to updated for a few times.... First let's talk about Friday and follow by the event on Saturday..

On Friday,i went to University Of Washington to Sakura.. After a few people making me jealous with the photos on facebook, finally me and my friends went there... The people are Me, Janet, Kenneth, Alvin, Billy, Michelle, Karen, William and Michelle Wijaya.. On that day was also Janet's bday.. On that day she did not get bully.. Anyway, the Sakura was really awesome... Actually most of us, went at a wrong timing because the sakura is going bold but it is still awesome.. There were like Sakura at the open space.. If you all went there, you will take a lot of pictures.... hahahaha... For those in Seattle if do not go for this, you will regret it.. later at the end i will paste some picture..

On saturday, I went to tulip farm together with William's care group people.. It is quite far and that place cannot be reach by bus.. It can only be reach by driving cars.. It is very beautiful.. First i took bus to IFGF... After waiting for awhile, finally we got into the car.. First i did not know who to follow.. In the end, i decided to follow WT.. On the way there, William decided to take a nap and we kept on disturbing his nap.. haaha.... We opened the window that is nearest to him.. The wind blew in and he could not sleep. It took us around an hour to reach there...

When i reached there, suddenly i felt very excited because it is the first time i saw Tulip flower in real life and trust me it was really beautiful.. Those who wanted to, please go within this week or you will not see it again until next year.... We took a lot of pictures... Especially two of my friends love took picture.. They were taking the photo from the same spots for quite long but the photos that they took were really fantastic.. Can't wait for them to upload the photo.. As, we took a lot of the time at the garden, we did not manage to see the garden.. While we only see the yellow tulip flower.. So we decided not to go there.. Actually, when i saw my friend's photo that place was really beautiful but when we went there all the flowers were only in yellow color.. We were quite disappointed.. I think it is because of the bad weather last week..

Actually, some of my friends went to another farm, and they manage to see the tulip flower in the farm with different color. I did not know which farm they went.. When i saw the picture i was quite disappointed but i could not do anything.... Hope that next year, i could go to that place again..... :) Here are some of the pictures that i took for both places...


Finally, we are successful in climbing the tree...

Hi all readers... This is the time to update again.. :) Life is starting to get pretty fun here... Even though the transport here is still bad but i started to get use to it and had fun here... A few days ago, there are heavy snow here but the snow was gone the next day.. which is quite sucks because the school will not be having any holiday... When the snow falls so heavily, usually the school will close.

On Wednesday, I had class at 5.30pm. I went home first because the class that i had before the 5.30pm class ended at 12.30pm. I went home to eat and help out my friends art homework. I was supposed to take 4.48pm bus so that i will not be late for class but as i helped my friends homework, i could not take the 4.48pm bus. The next bus will be 5.15pm. Usually by the time i took 5.15pm bus, i will confirm late for the class. Luckily the teacher is not very particular with attendance. I wanted to take 5.15pm bus but again i miss the bus because i am still helping my friends.. In the end we decided to take cab and share the fare. When i reached, i was running like hell to the classroom.... By the time i reached there, i saw three of my classmates came out from the room carrying their bag. I asked them why the class i cancelled and the answer is the teacher cancelled the class because he got meeting at Seattle. So after a long hard work of running, the class was cancelled. My effort of running was a bit useless... After that, i went to the cafetaria and chat with some of the Indonesian people... At around 7.30, i went to the bus stop and took bus home... When i reached, i quickly turned on the television and watch American Idol..

Thursday nothing much happened.. Just after school ended, i went to the library with Jonathan, William and Samuel to study business mid-term on Friday...

Friday is a killer day... On Friday I had geo quiz and business mid-term.. At 9.30 i went to Geo class for quiz... I thought after the quiz, there will be lesson but the teacher said that after the quiz you may leave.. I was really shocked because before that one of my friend told me that after the quiz why not we leaved... It really happened... After that went to cafetaria to play cards... At 11.00 i took my book and studied my business... At 11.30 i went to business class and do my mid-term exam.. After the exam went to the cafetaria to eat.. After eat, i went to Bellevue Square with william and Alvin... Accompany William to do his stuff... At around 3pm, we went back to school for Unicef.. After Unicef ended, i went back home and William went for his HD class.... The rest of the night i did nothing except played with my computer....

I shall paste some photos...



The love made by michelle

Me and Caca

Anyway i wish every body..

Hey all... At long at last i could show my sign of relief after o level result being released... Even though not satisfying enough but i was quite happy that i pass my a-maths.. After such a long suffering, finally i pass my a-maths... hahahaha.... :D

Anyway, let me update about my school life here.. It was really fun studying here... Most of the teachers are quite humorous..:)
Today, i have class at 9.30am.. The bus supposed to come at 8.45am and i was waiting at the bus stop since 8.45 but the bus has not came.. I thought the bus came late.. Thus i kept on waiting... Five minutes more, the bus has not come.. I thought may be the bus came in 5 minutes but it still did not come.. I kept on waiting until 9am and by then i just realise that the bus came earlier than 8.45am.. So waited for another bus which is at 9.16am.. I was hoping that the bus did not come late but the bus came late... The bus came at 9.21am.. I was almost late for class.. Luckily, the bus stop nearby my classroom.. I had my geography class... After geography class ended, i went to the cafe to eat my bread that i was suppose to eat during breakfast before my class... After eating the bread, i still did not feel full.. So, i went to buy salads... The honey and mustard sauce was awesome.. The other time i took the thousand island sauce and the taste was quite awefull...

At 11.30 am, i went to business class... It was quite far from cafe.. On the way to the class, the weather was so cold that, i was shivering all the way until i reached the class... The weather suddenly changed and it was like super damn cold.... The business class was fun and interesting... He talked about country's economy could increase through war.. I agree with that... After business class end, i went to the cafe again and sat down there until like 2 plus... After that went to crossroad with Heppi to have some lunch.. We ate bulgogi... The food is really delicious.. After that i went back home for awhile.., I missed my bus at East Gate Park And Ride... I have to wait for like 30 min.. After i reach home, i put my bag at my room and rushed to the washroom.. After come back from washroom, i was trying to open my room's door but it was locked.. So it means that i was locked outside.. I was trying to find way like using knife to unlock the door.. In the end i gave up and i called my houseparents... I was told that they have another key and asked me to find it.. After that, i went to open my door and it works... So i did not need to wait for him.. I quickly packed my stuff and went to school with my housemate... I have to go to school again because i had another class at 5.30pm..

When my class end at 7.40, i miss my 7.35 bus.. So i have to wait until the next bus come which is 8.35... It was so long to wait and the weather was so cold... So, i decided to take 271 to Bellevue Transit Centre... I was actually making a one way round... When i reached BTC, i went to take my bus back home... The weather outside was super damn cold and there was fog present on the sky.. That fog makes the weather colder... Anyway i have to end here.... Hope you all have fun reading my blog...

Ps: It is fun staying here... :D
I miss you all at Singapore and Indonesia..
