P/S : Wanna have wedding photoshoot too. LOL
It has been raining for a few hours and I'm getting hungry (again). Sure will get chubbier this semester (don't care anymore). While rummaging through my pics folders in my lovely laptop, I noticed that how I've change through these 24 years of my life. Yes, already 24 years and soon to be 25. Proud of it, heheh. Still, my future seems a bit hazy, but just let God decide (which is already been written long before I was born). I do change during these years, internally. Used to be a very shy person until people around me consider me as "sombong". And used to be a bit rebel during my teenager period (but not to the extent where I give troubles). But now I'm a different person. Not totally different, still maintain some qualities from back then but gaining more confidence in my life. Thanks to some amazing friends I met in my journey. I owe you guys. As you can see, there's no pic from my school time. I don't have so much pic from my primary school time. As for my high school, just forget it. It sucks and I don't want to remember it (sorry). Got to go now, got something to do.
First of all, the pic up there is uploaded coz someone seems to like it a lot. So I just edit it a little n wala! Not so good in editing pics, haha... That is me when i was 2 or 3 years old? Dunno... Seeing how little I used to be make me grateful that I still alive until now =) Thank you God.
The Mandailing is a traditional cultural group in Southeast Asia. They are found mainly in the northern section of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. They came under the influence of the Kaum Padri who ruled the Minangkabau of Tanah Datar. As a result, the Mandailing were influenced by Muslim culture and converted to Islam. Previous to their conversion, they practised Hinduism andParmalim (Batak native religion). There are also a group of Mandailing in Malaysia, especially in the states of Selangor and Perak. They are closely related to the Angkola, who are mixed between Muslim and Christian adherents.
The etymology of 'Mandailing' is said to be a coupounding of the words mande, meaning 'mother', and hilang, meaning 'lost'. Thus, the name is said to mean "lost mother". Some research has suggested that the Mandailing are the descendants of the Batak, who migrated to the south before the coming of the Portuguese and Dutch colonisation of Sumatra. There they converted to Islam and intermarried with Minangkabau and the Malay peoples. Mandailing society is patriarchal, employing family names, or marga, in the same manner as the Batak, Simalungun, and Karo. The same marga can be found, such as Lubis, Nasution, Siregar, Hasibuan, Harahap, Dalimunthe (originally from Munthe), Matondang, Rangkuti, Parinduri, Pulungan, Rambe, Daulae(y), Pohan, Batubara (not to be confused with the Batu Bara people from the east coast of Sumatra), Barus and Hutajulu
On 27th of January 2011 I lost one of my good friend. Only today I have the courage to write about him. It was shocking as this is the first time someone who close to me just left like that. I didn't have the opportunity to meet him for the past two years. May u rest in peace my friend. Later when my time comes, I'll follow u. Al-Fatihah...
