MY LIFE IN PENANG, MALAYSIA (ROUTINE)

Helloooo...

Today's post is gonna be sharing about my routine. Mostly my activity at University and my activity after University. Soo.. let's get started.

When I was in Penang, I took 2 subjects from School of Communication, one subject from School of Art, and the other one is from School of Language. I mostly spent my day in library until evening even after class, I quickly went to library. The thing what I like was, there was 24 hours library that I could stay without looking for the time. I still remember that I spent almost 24 hours in library with Zen to do Speech Writing assignment. We need to make a presentation for two days after class so we were in hurry. It actually wasn't that hard, but because that was my first time, I wanted to be perfect.

My subjects which I took in USM :
  1. Radio Production
  2. Creative Communication Production
  3. Speech Writing and Public Speaking
  4. Acting Class
Radio Production
I love this class because it seems like I could polish myself and I love talking even though I wasn't that good at that. This class used Bahasa Malaysia and I didn't fully understand but screen in Power Point helped me because it used English language. We just came for 3 meetings and the rest we spent in Studio to do our group assignment which was making a real recording for 60 minutes per person and for an individual assignment, we need to make a thesis about Radio. We were given a time to consult to Lecturer as well and she was really welcome so we were completely fine.

Creative Communication Production
My another favorite subject which made me tried to explore myself more. But sadly, I didn't take many advantages from this class. There were two days for this class. The first one was a normal class and the other one was tutor class (I guess that was the name) and for tutor class, it started at 8am and I had a hard time to wake up early 😂. But I did all individual assignment 😎. There was also a group assignment that we need to do. At that time, our group got a GAP brand. We need to make a new style of GAP, how to do a campaign for this, and an advertisement as well. 

Speech Writing and Public Speaking
This is the hardest class among three subjects. First, the lecturer was fierce but I know she wanted us to be better in the class each day. Second, we always did a presentation every time we went to the class. I learned a lot about how to make speech from her and how to analyze speech. Thank you so much dr.

Acting Class
I randomly picked this class because two of my Indonesian friends took this. I didn't feel comfortable to act because all people's eyes on me but I had a lot of fun in this class. The lecturer was really funny and the students in this class were cooperative. They supported each other.





In the end of our class, we had an assignment to watch a Theatre performance and we watched "The Maids." We bought a ticket from our Malaysian friend and there was her in that show as well.

How about my activity after class? I do have other activities in spite of spending my time in library. Cooking Time!
So in order to get closer and to introduce our country's food, we sometimes cooked and invited them to our apartment to eat together. 

This was in Haruka's apartment.

This was in Soo and Dawoon apartment.

This one was in Yu Yamada's apartment.

We also celebrated our friends who had a birthday and made a surprise to them. Sometimes I got an invitation to someone's birthday as well. Like this one for example. This is Mona's birthday party.


Friends!
When I was there, I closed to some local people a.k.a Malaysian students. You can call her Juju. She was a funny and humble person. I, Mutia, and Karnengsih mostly spent our time with her. She standed right next to me in this photo below. We watched this performance of our Indonesian friend, Gisella, and our lovely Malaysian friend,Darynn and Choon.



This is Eve. I knew her because we both came from the same class. She ever slept over in my apartment and we shared many things. She was a nice person. 

Have you seen my post when I was in Gala night? Yep I didn't prepare my dress and I literally didn't have any dress at home so I and others went to Mall Paragon to looked for the dress. I still remember. That time was the tiring moment ever because we went there for two days and still haven't got anything yet. We ended up ate, ate, ate ...


Another hang out thing with them :


Heart to heart conversation with Lu 😄 :


The last but not least, this one when our Lecturers from Mercu Buana University came to visit us. We were so happy because they treated us with good food and we could talk in casually with them like a friend.

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...

EMBRACING EMOTIONS EMBRACING ME

Hello gorgeous! This time I want to talk about human relationship. I'd like to figure things out like why this person behave this way? I always love to learn about this but, this time is a bit different because I watched quite a lot of podcast about human relationships. For instance, Jay Shetty, Stephan Speaks, and Lisa Bilyeu. Of course I don't watch all of their podcast. I choose what I want to watch based on the interviewees. As far as I watched, I'm more to Stephan, Najwa Zebian, Lori Gottlieb, Sadia Khan, and dr. Ramani. Oh I also write a summary that you can find from my highlight on instagram :) and the reason why I wrote that because I might be come to watch the podcast anymore when I feel like I want to but there is a feeling where I think it's tough since the length of videos mostly are 1-2 hours so I decided to make a summary. Maybe you would think that it is such a waste of time because we could get this kind of knowledge from everywhere. Such as, reels from...
