Friend: Why do you like KPOP so much anyway? I mean, you can't even understand most of the lyrics and their autotuned songs-
Me: Don't start that again.
Friend: But-
Me: Have you ever experienced waking up every morning just to deliver milk in order to not burden your parents with the training expenses?
Friend: Well, no, but-
Me: Did you drop out of high school to pursue your dream even if you're uncertain that you'll make it big?
Me: Have you tried dancing and singing onstage with your heels on?
Me: Did you experience hearing so much criticism you end up breaking down but you have to put on a smile for the sake of others?
Me: Have you tried getting no more than two hours of sleep before tackling a new day all over again?
Me: Did you experience having a hater that can go as far as putting glue in your drink, causing you to be hospitalized? And at the end, you'll forgive her because she's the same age as your sibling?
Friend:
Me: Have you tried auditioning countless of times before finally getting accepted?
Me: Can you stay single for the sake of your supporters?
Me: Can you sing and dance--live--at the same time?
Me: Can you live up to the image a company has given you?
Me: Can you bear living away from your family and friends, not being able to communicate with them for a long time because of your work?
Friend: Well, when we grow up that's what we'll do anyway so-
Me: At the age of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or maybe even eighteen?
Friend:
Me:
Me: There's more to KPOP than it seems. If you see them without the spotlight shining down on them, then you'll understand.

Türkiye Part 4 : Yemekler (foods)
Jump to another topic.
One of the best things about Turkey is the freaking dessertssssssssssssssssss. YES. We finally reach this point. There are so many kinds of Turkish desserts or snacks that I would like to recommend. I love baklava, sutlac, helvasi, lokum (Turkish delight), ekler, puddings, and this stuff that is so chewy and cold and sweet and milky and all nice and nothing hurts but I...
Türkiye Part 3 : (a little) Trivial Facts
One trivial fact about Turkey is that, as you all may already know, Turkey is a country which majority of the population is Muslim, but instead of calling Turkey as an Islamic country, I’d much prefer calling this country as liberal. The fashion here pretty much reflects it all. Many people wear hijab and Muslim clothes and all but there are even more people who go everywhere like they’re going...
Türkiye Part 2 : Günlük (Diary)
First, I’m going to warn you that this is only part 1 of a very long diary.
Don’t worry, I’m gonna share you some of my experiences in Turkey, whether it is its culture, its people, its foods or some other things that are different with Indonesia, but for now I’m going to write it in diary format first :D
So sorry friends for abandoning my blog, I guess I’m going to...

Türkiye Part 1 : Turkçe.
So hey, hello!
Long time no see everyone! A month since I last wrote something which is appropriate for Super Junior non-experts. (I don’t promise that this will be one, but, let’s see..)

A New Journey
So this is kinda temporary farewell.
I’m leaving to İstanbul on Tuesday, and I can’t guarantee whether I will get an easy access to internet as soon as I reach there. Maybe I can manage after one or two months, we’ll see :)
I am applying to two universities; METU (which is located in Turkey’s capital city, Ankara) and İstanbul Üniversitesi. So there’s a rather...

lately I have had this strangest feeling
uh, where should I start this?
lately, other than just snuggling between pillows on my bed and under my blanket, or browsing some good-looking men (who sing Sorry, Sorry) and nice and funny stories from google chrome, or memorizing words in Turkish..
I’ve actually been contemplating many things.
I feel bad and I feel so distant from my God though...

what wise people say
An old saying tells,
“Never blame unliving things for the misfortunes that happen. They can’t choose.”
But then I remember a quote from Mahatma Gandhi
“Hate the sin, not the sinner.”
Sins also can’t choose to be executed right?
The latter may seem irrelevant compared to the first saying, I suppose. But Mahatma Gandhi was such a very good person. So...
Super Junior and How Girls Become Obsessed

I’m so sorry if this is just a useless story that unnecessarily has to be shared. Skip this one if you know you’re not interested to read it. I’ll make it up to you in the next...

(a quick update) and A Glimpse of The Future
Aaah, what a relief, National exam has just ended yesterday.
I feel quite proud and bad at the same time. Proud because I still could manage to do National Exam, without any forbidden fast ways, quite well even I have been prioritizing social subjects among all subjects this year.
And bad, because I suppose I can’t fulfill my target to get perfect score in every science subject. I wish the...
I can't...I can't think straight.
My mom now understands why I love him. Though my little brother always asks why I like girls. LOL! Little bro, you don’t understand his awesomeness :)

a very quick post before National Exam
Well you know, this issue never passes a chance to be a big issue every time it’s near National Exam.
emm? Honesty.
I posted akin post last year which also talked about this issue since my friend happened to phone me regretting her friends who were going to cheat in National Exam. I was so pissed for I know how it was so hard to gain achievement without cheating where everyone around you...
