New henna! hahaha....

Hi guys! I just had my thesis proposal seminar and I feel delighted because  the presentation was superb! got many feedbacks and suggestions from my friends and lecturers...
OK, this time I will talk about my henna. yeah, several hours before the presentation, I went to an Arabic Festival held by Arabic Literature Department. I came to the henna booth to have my hand beautified! and what's more, it only costs Rp 5.000 for a drawing which size is this BIG.

FFFFUUUUU, Blogger is being uncooperative on photos-uploading. look at the way they mess my picture up
I always keen on having henna on my hand. Everytime Arabic Literature department hold Arabic Festival, I always come to order a henna on my hand. this is the 3rd time I have henna.

again, troubles on uploading photos.
this is my very first henna I had, It was on January 2010.
Eh, is that the same pink shirt that I wore this afternoon?
well, I am very keen on this shirt, anyway.

and this one was the 2nd henna...

I also got this from Arabic Festival, it was also Rp 5000.

sometimes, I wanna by a tube of henna paste and draw the henna myself. I love having this 'halal' tattoos. although henna is applied on our skin, it is still able to absorb water, so I don't need to be worry about my wudhu.

things that made me thankful today :) Alhamdulillah...


  1. Had a help from Sulthon to set up my netbook in order to make it connected to ESAC's hotspot. yes, now I'm able to use my google chrome for browsing the net in this public WiFi.
  2. Had a super absogoddamnlutely FANTASTIC Trends and Issues in Linguistics class. We invite Pak Effendi Kadarisman to teach us about Verbal Humor and Ethnopoetics. well, actually Pak Effendi is supposed to be our lecturer for this class, but, due to his ill health (he is suffering from uric acid) , he can't teach so many classes. therefore, for this class, he gives it to Bu Renzy. Pak Effendi gave us a very, very clear and complete explanation of verbal humor (along with the examples that made us laugh out loud), and he also demonstrates his ability in nembang when he explained ethnopoetics. we were totally AMAZED. we gave a big applause. I got many new things about ethnopoetics from him. He is very great! May Allah bless him...
  3. Had a great chat with my seniors. at first, I met mbak Rina, who finished her study only in 7 semesters (waw!) and now worked as a teacher in pandaan. Somehow, I have to set up my mind to believe that I won't be jobless, as long as I struggle and keep on praying. I also met mbak Ayin, now working as an assistant lecturer, she shared a lot of things about her 'trouble' students. About their 'poor' ability in catching the missing lyrics on song-listening activity. (anyway, Mbak Ayin uses Mocca's song, secret admirer, for the listening activity. yayaaay! I remember when I worked for Ar Rohmah Boarding School, I used Owl City's, Demi Lovato's, and Katy Perry's song as the listening material, hehe)
  4. I met my favorite lecturer, and greeted her. what made me delighted was that she replied me with a very friendly tone, in 'medhok' javanese accent that I usually use when I talk to my friends, and it made me feel that I am that close with her, as close as two bestfriends.
  5. When we consulted our slideshows for tomorrow's presentation to Pak Beye (hehe, we call him that way, he is our lecturer for Thesis Proposal Seminar), he said that my draft is good (haha... I include the screenshots of some renowned bloggers, such as Diana Rikasari and Tiananda Widyarini) and, guess what? in the end of the consultation, he gave a pack of Dendeng to my friend, Ines. he said that it's good for boarding house kids. Ines will fry those Dendengs and bring them to tomorrow's class, so that the whole class will enjoy it :)
  6. The Student Legislative board is about to order for our official blazer!!! yes, finally, we are going to have a uniform that makes us proud. We are one. United in this bond. The senators of Faculty of Letters. Viva Legislativa, Hyuuuuwk!
THANKS GOD, Your blesses made my day :) I am motivated to learn more about linguistics, and to pursue my dream to learn about Constructed Language for my master's degree overseas. amin.
