Fate #1

Weekend in the middle of July.

I called my best friend whom I already consider as my big sister. As usual, we talked a lot about everything as we usually did. Well, I have to admit that generally, our conversations were led to FATE. I was so happy to hear her fruitful news, about someone proposed her. Well, she had been doing ta'aruf as Muslim's law while doing a relationship. After lots of life trials she went through, finally it comes to a sweet ending. It is Fate. Destiny. Or whatever you call it to describe something that belongs to you. About this first version of fate, let me tell you the whole story. A bittersweet love story of my friend...

Self Reminder: Everything Needs Effort!

Hari ini, 16 Juli 2017. Saya memiliki pembelajaran baru lagi soal kehidupan. Sambil dilatarbelakangi nyanyian merdu Harry Styles yang berjudul Sweet Creature yang diputar tetangga kamar kos saya, dimulailah saya menulis sesi ini. Yah, kehidupan itu ibarat sekolah dan pengalaman merupakan materi yang kita pelajari. Saya merasa harus banyak menulis soal self reminder seperti ini. Hari ini pembelajaran dari adik tingkat saya yang sedang berada di Polandia.

Namanya Anggoro Wicaksono. Yeah, you can find his instagram on @anggorowic. Well, yang barusan bukan promosi. Tapi di dalam instagramnya kalian bisa menemukan banyak foto berlatar negeri berbendera putih-merah tersebut. Dia mendapatkan beasiswa ke Polandia dari Erasmus Mundus dan saat ini dia dalam perjalanannya untuk balik ke Indonesia.

Work Life Voyage - Semarang

Heyhoooo.. Apakabar guys? Finally, after several months hiatus, finally I'm back with a story. Actually, cerita ini gak "fresh from the oven" story karena udah beberapa bulan yang lalu terjadi dan baru saya tulis. Short story, as you can read from the title, I want to share my experience on visiting Semarang. And also, gue kesana karena urusan kerjaan... Tapi alhamdulillah ada kesempatan jalan-jalan ke beberapa tempat di sana. Sebelumnya, gue mau pake bahasa gado-gado yaa Indo-English. Harap maklum, nulis sambil belajar.

Gue inget banget pas hari terakhir penugasan audit, udah planning sama Kak Steffi (ketua tim) mau nyelesaiin cepet2 buat #exploreSemarang. haha.. Awalnya nekat mau pake grab or angkot buat jalan2. hahaha.. Eeehh, meleset dari jam 8 udah selesai kerjaan, perginya jadi jam 1 siang karena klien ngomongnya jam 12 mau ngadain rapat hasil akhirnya. Yaudiiinn deh.. Udah browsing juga, mau ke Lawang Sewu, gak afdol rasanya ke Semarang tapi gak kesana dan Alhamdulillah, kantor klien ke destinasi tujuan gak terlalu jauh...

Ways to be The Awardee of Sakura Science Program in Japan

Alhamdulillah, sudah dua bulan setelah saya mendapat kesempatan untuk mengikuti program pertukaran pelajar di Jepang, Sakura Science Program, yang diadakan Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT). Banyak adik-adik tingkat yang menanyakan bagaimana saya bisa mendapatkan program tersebut. Semoga saya belum terlambat untuk membagikan pengalaman saya dan semoga bermanfaat..

Well.. Sakura Science Program yang saya ikuti ini merupakan kegiatan lanjutan yang diadakan pihak KIT dari program Learning Express(LEX) yang diadakan oleh Singapore Polytechnic bersama kampus Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), kampus dimana saya mengenyam pendidikan sarjana. So,

Big Bad Wolf Event

Hello guys, I want to share a little bit about an event which has been held in ICE BSD until second day of May this year. It is a big event where you can find many impressive books and buy it for a cheap price due to a big sale discount up to 70%.

Yesterday, I went there with my 2 Junior High School Friends, and I knew the info of BBW from my other JHS friend who currently working on that event. So happy finally we made our time to meet each other even if we did not spend much time to chit-chatting. At least we already took a mandatory pictures together yaaa and made a promise to catch up in another time. lol

Everglow

Living miles away from my parents has made me realize how important to utilize my time when I am with them. Simply, because people gets older and, of course, we do not know how much the time remains, either mine or theirs, to be spent together.

Being far has made me see the change on their physical appearance particularly the wrinkles on their face which are getting more and more every time I meet them. However, they are still the same. A talkative mom which absolutely descent "that skill" to me, and an over protective and over worry dad who really like to call me just only to ask my condition. lol (That's the way they love me anyway! xD)

It feels like yesterday when I was 4 and waiting my daddy to come home because he always brought me many snacks and beverages after he worked then simply said

UPROAR

As I walk through..
Nothing seems okay..
Lost in my own dream though..
My own decision as I say..

Right or Not?
Was it a right decision I made?
Or was it just my lust?
I don't know which one the right side

Always keeping up my spirit
As I hope that this is my way
Cause there's no turning back to the past
No, It's such a No Way!

This Gloomy, angry and hopeless I feel..
No medicine that can heal..
Is it a regret?
Cause I don't want to feel it..
