2011 Wasn't So Bad (Part 2)

(continued)

September
Another Hari Raya Idul Fitri that I spent at home. We were so happy because my brother got his annual leave for several days. But I felt a bit sad because I have to go to Penang to start over life as a master student. So most of my September I spent with an adaptation and adjustment again. I felt so lonely at the first time and it was  quite hard to back to an academic life after like one year off. Yeah, back to crazy eating and sleeping schedules and do the things all by my self yet I'm so excited to back to school.

Also in this month my friends graduated and I attended their graduation party. Again, there always emotional moments when I have to see my friends leave for home and I don't know when I can see them again. *almostcryingwhentyping* (I posted about this last time).

Oyeah, Ayah visited me for a day on September. It was quite fun having such daughter-daddy time.:)

October-November
Oh, no! don't ask these two months. That was extremely hectic times and almost make me crazy. Classes, assignments, presentations, and all those college thingy. I think my twitter timeline and some posts on this blog explained that.

So, this is some pictures how messy my room and desk. Please don't judge. :))




The most entertaining thing happened on this month was Zee Avi's concert. Ah, finally I can see her live performance. That was an epic concert! I went there with Hajar and we had so much fun. :)

December
This was also still hectic time until almost the end of the month. I was still have to do my assignments and done two presentation which I thought not so good ones. Well I spent my NYE with my roommate at fast food restaurant while bringing our notes and assignments. Yeah. this December was tough but thank God I still can go out with some friends.

***

Well, as I recall and write this, I found that my 2011 was not as bad as I thought before. Now I see it clearly and differently. I realize that this year was tough and very confusing. But I was done many things. I could do what I couldn't do before, I learn something new and meet new people. I appreciated time and people surround more.

Briefly, I think lessons that I got from what happen in 2011 are:

  • don't rush things, everything has its time. 
  • things change and things have process, so do people.
  • no matter how bored and messy you are, there will always people who can make you happy and accept you just the way you are, either friends or family.
  • time is very precious thing. We can not go back to the past and we can rush to the future. The cliche 'live in the present' actually works. Yeah sometimes we just have to enjoy the times, good or bad.
  • no matter how great we create plan, God has always has better plans for each of us.
And now what will happen in this 2012? I don't know. I already have my plans for this year and I hope that I can accomplish each of them. But I still have to enjoy every single time, right?

So, Happy belated New Year, guys! Hope we all have an awesome year ahead.:)

Study Week, Minggu Mengulangkaji, atau Minggu Tenang?

Teman2, minggu mengulangkaji adalah bahasa Melayunya minggu tenang kalo mau ujian. Minggu tenang? Mengulangkaji? Are u sure? Orang2 disini (yg hobi nyampur bahasa inggris sama bahasa ibu), bilang kalo ini study week! ayo kita translate langsung ke bahasa Melayu atau bahasa Indonesia! artinya adalah Minggu Belajar! See? Study week is minggu belajar, means , waktunya mempelajari semua pelajaran dari awal semester. Artinya, sebelumnya gak pernah baca, makanya belajar! sedangkan Mengulangkaji means, mengulang kembali pelajaran yang lalu. Berarti, sebelumnya sering membaca buku. Hanya tinggal mengulang! dan Minggu tenang berarti tenang2 aja kan?! bukannya sibuk ngafalin pelajaran dari awal semester! hahahahah.......... Hmmm..mahasiswa zaman sekarang!=) termasuklah aku!

Ketika Kembali ke Rumah Orangtua

Image
Kembali ke rumah setelah bertahun-tahun tinggal jauh dari keluarga, terutama orangtua, ternyata ada dilemma tersendiri.  Kalau diingat-ingat kembali, sejak saya SD tinggal serumah dengan orangtua bisa dihitung sekitar enam tahun. Selebihnya, saya tinggal dengan saudara kandung saya, ditemani Mbak yang menemani di rumah. Bahkan, waktu saya SMA, saya hanya tinggal berdua dengan abang dan dua orang sepupu. Basically, I'm used to live away from my parents.  Di satu sisi, terbiasa hidup mandiri sejak dini sangat membantu dalam proses penyesuaian diri dimana pun saya berada. Makan tidak pilih-pilih, tidak ribet kalau kemana-mana. Santai saja. Saya terbiasa mencuci baju sendiri, membeli keperluan sehari-hari sendiri, menyiapkan segala sesuatu yang diperlukan sendiri, termasuk pergi kemana-mana sendirian. Walaupun tidak pernah lepas dari pengawasan dan dukungan (moral dan materi) orangtua, tetap saja dalam pelaksanaannya saya melakukannya sendiri. Saya punya kontrol penuh terhadap

Hello, world: Long Time No Post!

Wow! Postingan terakhir saya adalah tanggal 23 September. Yeah, setelah hari itu dan seterusnya saya sibuk dengan kehidupan duniawi. Mulai dari tugas yang seolah kejar tayang hingga saat detik dimana saya harus berangkat ke Penang International Airport Jumat lalu. Bayangkan, sebelumnya saya harus singgah ke asrama teman saya untuk mengambil kertas tugas LSP300-Bahasa Inggeris Akademik yang harus dikumpul hari Senin besok! betapa kejamnya dunia ini!=( Dan ada dua hal hal yang paling parah! saya lupa ulang tahun dua orang sekaligus! Saya lupa ulang tahun Abang saya. 26 September lalu. Padahal, pas di airport udah salam2an, tapi saya gak ingat juga! Pas di mobil syaa baru ngucapin, itu pun setelah si Kacitong yang ngingetin. Adoado..parah! adik durhaka aku ini... Kedua, saya lupa ulang tahun si Goki, teman SMA saya, 24 September yang lalu. Padahal, hari itu saya chatting sama dia! Whuaa....Sampai akhirnya, dia nelpon saya di siang hari, ngajak buka puasa bareng teman2 yang lain. Saya meno
