THE END OF STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Hello Stranger..
It's been slighty 5 months since the last I've blogged.

I still can't believe that I'm in Indonesia already. It's like I wake up from the sweetest dream for 5 months. Meeting them is such a great memory ever in my entire life. Meeting them is not a coincidence as well, but a destiny which is given from the God.

So I arrived in Indonesia on February 14th at 21:00 PM with Mutia. But before we arrived, we took a transit to Singapore for 7 hours. There were a lot of awesome free facilities. They were, free massage, cinema, video games, etc and there was a great park in  ... I forgot in which terminal but it was next to the cinema. 

They all come to say goodbye to us. I didn't know what to say, but this was such the saddest thing in my life. I hope we could meet again someday.




I literally am in my holiday term til February 29th. So I have nothing to do at home. All I do is, helping Mom to take care home, or sometimes I read some books, learn something, looking for part time job which is too late for me to take, then hanging out with friends because we seldom meet. 

Oh, I also join an organization to meet some new friends which is called Couchsurfing. Honestly speaking, I never ever heard it before, but then a friend of mine who is from Germany told me about that site. So that I'm in. There are some people that sending me a message through email to meet for hanging out. The thing that I like about this organization is, the people are great! I mostly meet with people who are older than me. But I like it. I learn a lot from them. We enjoy to talk. 

Shortly, my wish after going back from Student Exchange Program to Universiti Sains Malaysia is, I could be a new me. I would love to study or even have a job in abroad. I wish that I could improve myself to be better. I wish I could keep doing a positive thing that I've done in Penang with some people there.

There are a looot of things that I want to share. So, I'll update in the next post if I have a time. See you.

THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED BOOK REVIEW

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, gue sempet liat postingan orang lain di instagram tentang buku - buku yang dia baca. Buku putih dengan warna font hitam merah dan cover yang simple menarik perhatian gue. Tanpa mikir panjang, gue mencari buku tersebut dan mencoba untuk membacanya. Hal yang pertama kali menarik perhatian gue adalah judul dari bukunya itu sendiri. Buku The Courage To Be Disliked merupakan salah satu buku favorit gue tentang psikologi dan kehidupan. Bacaannya ringan, dialognya berisi kata - kata yang jelas, contoh case yang disajikan juga sangat mencerminkan ke dalam kehidupan sehari - hari, dan buku ini merupakan buku dengan penjelasan yang paling masuk akal dari berbagai buku yang pernah gue baca, juga buku ini sangat membekas sehingga gue pun tidak sungkan untuk membacanya berulang - ulang. Walaupun agak begitu sulit untuk menerapkan beberapa teori dari buku tersebut ke dalam kehidupan sehari - hari, tapi gue selalu mencoba untuk melihat dari sudut pandang lain.  The Coura...

SOMETIMES WE ARE JUST TOO AFRAID

I have that one moment when I feel overwhelmed everytime I try to voice my opinion which I think there is nothing wrong with it. Sometimes I end up asking people again even after what I did. For example, my best friends. I ask them to validate my emotions and what I just did. Did I do something right? Were the things I did right? Am I overreacting? Is this the right thing for me to do? Do you think I should stay calm about it all? There are pros and cons to it and if it’s more towards the cons, I’ll feel upset, stressed, and overthinking. I vividly remember that my body feel exhausted, I cannot sleep in a peace, and my mind keep ruminating for certain things. Unfortunately, in Asian culture, most of us tend to be quiet about everything that happens in our lives. We have a feeling that if we try to speak up, there will be some people who will hate us and we overanalyze in our minds that people will look at us differently. That’s quite normal. However, let me stress this to you, there is...

EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Recently, a friend of mine had a discussion about a job with me. He said it was such a pity if we ended up to not work in a field where we were graduated. "What is the use of going to University for 4 years if I finally work in a place which is not related to my study?" This made me reflect about how I used to think back then. "I don't want to work if I'm not going to be a Public Relations Officer. Period." But hey that's totally fine. The truth is, you can get knowledge in anywhere. You don't even realize when you sit down on the train, listening to people's conversation. or when you watch a movie or youtube, or when you debated with your parents or partner. You absord those knowledge. Eventhough if it's just a little. "But what is knowledge? It is something that is everywhere. In my line of work, as a development professional, it is in every discussion, in every handshake, in every discipline, in every role and responsibility, in the ...
