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!

Watashi wa kangen si Kacitong sekali desu!=(

Bulan2 segini mungkin lagi musimnya 'homesick'. Beberapa orang yang saya kenal juga mengalami hal ini seperti Kak Vega dan Tari. Saya juga lagi ingin pulang, ingin bersantai di depan TV, makan masakan rumah, jalan2, ke bank, dan mengurusi keperluan rumah tangga bersama Mama, Kak acid dan Bang Andrie atau menemani Ayah di Langkat. Homesick yang saya alami sebenarnya lebih spesifik. Saya kangen sama kakak saya, Kak Acid, Kacitong, biasa saya memanggilnya. Saya juga sering memanggilnya 'Ito', bahasa Bataknya kakak. Hehehhee… Saya memang selalu merindukan kakak saya yang aneh ini. Bisa dibilang hanya bersamanyalah saya bisa menjadi diri saya sendiri. Saya yang suka moody, gak jelas, kadang pintar kadang bodoh. Kadang bisa dewasa kadang bisa manja minta ampun. Kami hobi….kali ngobrol. Ngobrol tentang apa saja. Tentang kami yang kadang merasa 'useless', tentang keluarga, tentang lelaki (hehhehe), tentang musik Indonesia yang makin hari makin kacau aja, tentang reali...

Cerita LKM400!

Image
LKM400 ialah kod untuk kursus Bahasa Melayu IV. Semua pelajar wajib mengambil kurusus ini dalam tempoh pengajian mereka di universiti. Para pelajar tempatan diwajibkan lulus atau sekurang-kurangnya mendapat gred C pada peperiksaan. Jika tidak, mereka harus mengulang semula kurusus ini. Lain halnya dengan pelajar antarabangsa (bukan Indonesia dan Indonesia). Bagi pelajar Indonesia, mereka tidak diwajibkan lulus dalam kursus ini. Namu, mereka wajib lulus dalam kursus Bahasa Melayu II dan III yang diambil pada semester sebelumnya. Huehue...intronya sok pake bahasa melayu! jijik awak...=) Nah, semester ini saya mengambil kursus bahasa Melayu IV yang bobotnya itu 2 unit alias 2 SKS kalo di Indonesia. Sialnya, di antara anak2 Indonesia yang seangkatan saya, cuma saya yang mengambil kursus ini karena mereka belum ngambil LKM200 dan LKM300. Jadilah saya menjadi satu2nya anak Indonesia di kelas LKM400 ini. Dan sialnya lagi, saya dimasukkan dalam group anak2 Sains Kimia, bukan anak Komunikasi!...
