Past & Present

2 June 2013


Today is 2 June 2013, I'm a college student now. My school locates in Jakarta, so I have to go far from my town. I’m often missing all of my family but I manage to get over it by hang out with my friends. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have a new family in Jakarta now, it’s not the real one but I think that this is my family here because I consider them (my friends) as my family, We named our family with KKI (Keluarga Kost Ijo) or the family of green board house because most of the members are boarding in a house that has a green paint (it’s kinda funny huh??? kekeke)
Well, there’s a lot of story about KKI that I can’t share here, not because I don’t want to but because it will take a lot of time to type it here (kekeke). Oh, today one of the KKI’s brother treat us a pizza. It’s reaaally delicious. This is the first time I eat a pizza, and I’m really grateful that I can eat this in my live (ahahaha I’m too exaggerate it). By the way, one of my dreams is to eat a pizza, so one dream fulfilled yay. There are 99 more dreams though hahaha. I’ll work hard to fulfill all of them, wish me the best :D
You wanna share a story too, give me your link (blogger link), I’ll follow you.
But all of them must be your own written, I really appreciate a writer you know???




22 February 2012

Today is 22th of February, not a special day of course.
But today is a big day for me, big day doesn’t always mean great right??? Today I begin my day with cheerful mood as usual, even though the silver cloud in the sky that almost rain. I hope my cheerfulness will bring the sun out. So it did, and it never began to rain, I am really happy about that. But the sun give me another sad story…
Today I should have been applying at KAIST university fall semester scholarship 2012, but the truth said the other way… My plans are shattered into pieces. I have been prepared to sent the document almost full 4 days, but a lot of thing happened. The documents are already complete, but when I have to paid for application fee, the bank at my city did not provide the service to transfer money in other currency beside rupiah. I used public transportation from my school at bank BCA, but didn't work out.
My second chance is BNI that located almost 1 kilometer from BCA, the public transportation to get there is really hard to found so that I have to walk alone with my backpack that contain my heavy laptop. But I think this is my part of effort that I have to take before I get the scholarship…
In BNI, the teller said that I have to pay for the fee $50, and transfer fee almost half of it. I can’t do anything because I have ‘not that much money’. She suggests me to go to the Jateng bank and western union, so I did…
I have to walk another 1 kilometer and used public transportation after walk. But unfortunately, the bank is closed. I really disappointed about that. I back to school by foot alone, almost 3 kilometers to regain my sense. I really really sad that I almost cry, but I realize that cry never solve anything so I just walk aimlessly and while singing fox rain by Lee Su Hee that almost break my heart. I desperate to do anything and to continue my effort, but I think I still get another chance. Maybe I cannot apply in this scholarship, but there is still another way to go overseas right???
I think I will need someone to give me some advice, so I went to my English teacher who also my academic adviser after that by public transport, I also have some time to talk with my Junior in school who make myself cheerful again…
My teacher give me a lot of advice that I really have to prepare to anything in the future, that I have to choose the important one beside the other. If only I have a chance I will reset my time. But now, everything can not be returned, so I have to learn from what I’ve done so far and make that as an experience to be someone better in the future.
After that I back to my boarding house after walk another 1 km and use public transportation. I really exhausted from today trip. After I refresh myself, I prepared to go home. I have to walk another 3 kilometer to the terminal and use the public transportation to go home that located almost 28 km from my school.
I really glad that I get the bus in time, because I usually have to wait almost hours to get the bus. But it did not last long, I’ve to get off from the bus because the bus have to go back in its owner in the other part of city (this is commonly happened in Indonesia) especially when it’s getting dark, it almost  7 p.m. Another part of problem, I have to face with brave… I wait almost 1 hour to get the bus that will bring me  to my village… I phone my father to pick me up at the terminal (not officially terminal)
After my father arrives, He manages to buy some scallion pancake for our family dinner. I'm really grateful toward what the god give me. When dinner comes, I told my father that I failed to apply the scholarship. He really disappointed to me and I really feel guilty to my father. Is my effort means nothing??? But I believe whatever we do now we will get it someday if we put a great effort in it, right???

2 August 2011


Sekarang aku suda kelas 12 atau kelas 3 SMA yang sebentar lagi akan  menuju kuliah. Sebenarnya aku bingung untuk memilih jurusan yang ingin kutempuh. Sepertinya Aku harus banyak belajar dari kakak sepupuku.
Di dalam diriku tersimpan berbagai keinginan untuk menggapai cita-cita, namun aku sendiri belum pasti ingin menjadi apa. Sebenarnya Aku ingin menjadi seseorang yang membangun perusahaan sendiri (bisnis manajemen). Namun salah seorang temanku berkata untuk apa selama ini kita susah2 mempelajari segala macam pelajaran IPA, bila akhirnya kita masuk universitas jurusan IPS.
Sebenarnya Aku juga ingin teknik informasi dan komunikasi, namun tahukah kau bahwa masuk jurusan tersebut sangat sulit…..apalagi Aku ingin masuk ITB yang notabene persaingannya sangat ketat…..
Aku juga ingin mendapatkan beasiswa ke luar negeri, benar2 ingin sekali… Aku selalu berdo’a agar aku bisa mendapatkannya….Aku ingin bisa mandiri, jauh dari orang tua dan menanggung kesulitan sendiri karena aku yakin inilah langkahku untuk menjadi seseorang yang lebih dewasa…..
Aku sebenarnya ingin menjadi seseorang yang dapat membuka lapangan pekerjaan untuk orang lain yang ada di sekitarku. Namun entah mengapa aku  ingin melakukannya di tempat yang jauh berbeda (maksudku seperti Negara lain). Bukannya aku terobsesi maupun tidak mau mengembangkan negeri sendiri, aku hanya ingin tinggal di lingkungan yang sangat jauh berbeda dengan keadaan negaraku yang sekarang.
Dari kecil aku selalu bermimpi untuk dapat pergi ke suatu tempat yang belum pernah aku kunjungi sebelumnya, berpetualang dan mengatasi masalahku sendiri, itulah yang sesungguhnya ingin aku capai di masa sekarang. Paling tidak sekali dalam seumur hidupku aku bisa tinggal di Negara lain.
Sekarang aku sangat menikmati saat2 bersama keluargaku, sebenarnya aku bisa sama seperti kebanyakan teman2 teman yang lain, mereka lebih memilih nge-kost ataau menyewa rumah karena letak sekolahku yang jauh. Apalagi sekarang kami sudah kelas tiga yang pastinya butuh banyak waktu untuk belajar. Apalagi ditambah diadakannya jam tambahan untuk kami, biasanya beberapa guru memilih mengadakan jam tambahan diwaktu pagi agar lebih fresh dalam mengingat pelajaran.
Aku akui memang jarak sekolah kami jauh (bayangkan…dengan menaiki bus saja hampir 1 jam perjalanan). Namun aku selalu menyemangati diriku bahwa inilah pengorbanan untuk mendapatkan ilmu, dan aku harus menjalaninya dengan semangat. Begitu pula teman-temanku……….Kami sadar bahwa mungkin diluar sana masih banyak anak-anak yang bahkan jauh lebih parah dari kami.
Bayangkan bila guru yang mengharuskan kami jam tambahan pukul 6 berarti paling tidak kami dari sini harus berangkat pukul 5 pagi….. aku takut kalau suatu saat aku telat, bagaimana ya…..tapi apa salahnya dicoba dulu, mungkin itu juga melatih kami untuk bangun pagi………..
Hari ini hari kedua di bulan ramadhan namun aku belum bisa menikmati rasanya berpuasa (karena tamu bulananku)…..padahal aku ingin sekali bisa berbuka bersama yang lainnya. Tapi tadi aku dan adikku membuat hidangan berbuka puasa yaitu ikan bakar…..sayangnya bapak tidak begitu menyukainya sebab beliau lebih suka ikan goreng…..ya tak apalah…..toh aku dan adikku menikmatinya……
