Self Muse

1. You need to work fast, but also you have to be patient.
2. You have to create your own vision, but listening to others is also needed.
3. You have to express your opinions, but do not hurt people's feeling.

Everything just have to be balanced and you are going to be a better person.

Unstable

It's been a long time since my last post. In that period of time, I gained many experiences which were joyful, sad, and even fantastic. I wrote about Oliver! in the last post. I would like to share activities that I had since that time.

After Oliver! Project was accomplished, I competed national computing olympiad (OSN) with my two friends, Aldibaraniz, the one who was the youngest of all, and William Agung Prabowo, one of my bestfriends that I have. We assumed that this year, AP (it stands for Agung Prabowo) have a great chances to get a medal in the last OSN. Nevertheless, we all promised each other to get medals each other and brought Canisius into national competition.

The preparation began before the OSK. Canicomp, an extracurricular which has only 5 people of tenth and eleventh graders, which were me, Aldibaraniz, William Agung Prabowo, Panji Wisesa, and Febrian Yuwono, is declining in its performance. I, who was chosen to be the leader of this organization, wanted a better future so canicomp could become a big extracurricular again as it was. We all struggled from zero to hero. Getting a new place to study was a very big change in canicomp since this extracurricular schedule had the same schedule as mulok had. So the new place which was beside multimedia room was a grace from God to this extracurricular.

Actually, I loved this extracurricular, why? Because since I was in junior high school, I was already taught about programming in this extracurricular. At that time, canicomp was a very big and very prestigious extracurricular (I thought). Ricky Jeremiah thought me about sequences of numbers that I did not understand at that time. But since then, I decided to join this extracurricular when I got to high school.

Days changed. We all passed in OSK test and very proud of this. The our next target is OSP. OSP was quite frightening I thought. Only ten people was selected from hundreds of people. Weeks changed. Ap did not pass the OSP test, but we praised God that Aldi still competed this competition as he was the youngest of all.

The OSN was in Medan. Many trainings we faced before we went to Medan. We got a lot of friends, Jessica, Dikra, Alif, Jonathan, Jennifer, and Gozali. They were great friends. We had great tutors too, they were Ricky Jeremiah (ex-canicomp), Reinardus Surya Pradhitya (ex-canicomp), and Angelina Veni. We were trained so we could face the oncoming OSN. First, we were trained in Bandung with Brian and then we were trained in Ancol.

(Fast forward, the story is too long)

Canisius had one bronze medal. It was a great achievement that we know last year we did not get anything. Canicomp had more than 20 people of new members. And national training will come. I must prepared for this that I have sacrificed a lot of things (also the reason I wrote this post). I want to thank to one person that I can't explain here and also the reason I chose “unstable” as the title.
