We live in the parallel world

I found a blog written by a girl, who is now studying in the same university with me (was). Then, I felt like writing a blog.

I went through her blog, post by post. She told the readers about how she missed her high school friends, how she felt of being in OSGAB and Accounting Student Orientation: Attraction! (anyone can recall this event?? *smile*).

All the sudden I recalled my own stories in that campus. All the friendship, laugh, life, and love stories. How I missed those times.

Time flew. Five to six years after all of those memories, I can't believe now I am here, miles away from Bandung while someone else is now experiencing my old life, making her own memories.

I am pretty sure there is someone out there who already did a similar life as mine years ago. While she is remembering all her memories, I am making mine.

Anyway, it is how life goes. Someone left, another came. Someone is remembering, others are making the new one. It is what I called "paraliel world".

Letter To God

Nope. Don't expect me to write a letter to God here. :)

I didn’t feel really well today. Maybe, it was because a lot of thoughts such as final exam, homesick, boring, afraid, etc. Thus, maybe I felt really exhausted due to all-day-study-in-the-library things.

Then, I promised myself not to study anymore when I got home.

Anyway, one thing came to another I decided to watch a movie. Yupe, as you can guess, the title is "Letter To God"

In short, this movie is telling us about how brave an 8 year old kid faced brain cancer and how he could change everybody's heart and feelings through his fate. And the most interesting part is this movie was a true story! I cried my eyes out since the beginning. (how embarrassing haha).

Then, I looked back to my story; why was I sad? because it hard to get part time jobs, because I hate to study for my final exam, because I feel homesick..really really homesick (I was dreaming about coming backhome this winter break! huhu..). What are those things compare to an 8-year-old-kid-with-brain-cancer ?? And now I am feel so small. But not too long! Now I know what I have to do.

In the end, something popped up on my mind. Maybe, God picked that movie for me to watch. He wanted to say to me that I am not alone. He will stays beside me, walk with me just like he did to Tyler (that 8 year old kid; I should said the name from the beginning, shouldn’t I? ). And He picked me, because I am the story teller (haha!). I am the one who can tell everybody that He is with me, through my blog!

Last word (I promise). Hey Reader (gotcha!), do feel lucky when you read this particular blog..hehe..
For you who have watched this movie: great movie huh?!
For you who haven't watch it: I couldn't say anything but this is a great movie.
For you who knew me and haven't watch this movie: ask me for free! hehe..

Let's open our hearts and let God do something on our lives.

A Bed Time Story

I was doing my assignment report and talking to a good friend here. Then, I feel like writing another story.

This scene, talking to a good friend via YM while doing the assignment, is like de javu for me. It was happened about 3 or 4 years ago while I was in Bandung, doing another paper assignment talking to another good friend via YM.

This time, we were talking about future. We were drawing our own future. We have the same fear. In short, we are afraid if we won't have better job. For me, my additional fears are I don't wanna go back to who I was, a very busy girl who almost never has a "me-time".

In short, we ended up talking about our past. How struggled we are to do our final thesis while we already had to work in one of the accounting firm. In the end we have survived, we finished those damn thesis on time and we worked on that (I don't know how to express my previous office..haha) firm. Thus, we were talking dreams. So I called this "A Bed Time Story"

We draw our future so beautiful.

In the next three years, we will be doing this again, talking via YM, in our very own MNC Financial Service Company. We will be talking about our past, with the starting question: "Hey, remember the time when we were talking about how we gonna get a better job after we graduate?"

In that scene, we will be success career woman who gets a big money. And most importantly, who can get home at 5 PM..!! :) One of us or both of us might have been married that time.. :)

We never know what our future will be. We never know who will we meet tomorrow, maybe someone who brings u your future. What we can do now is keep believe in God, in our own hands, never stop hoping and never stop trying.

Sometimes you might face pitfalls that can fade out our hopes. What I can say is, enjoy that time. Remember every detail. Coz in the near future, we will see what have happen and we will smile to what we have done.

So, see you in the next three years!

Filosofi Nasi Goreng

Bahan:
4 piring nasi putih keras bekas masak kemarin
1 butir telur yang sudah 1 minggu di kulkas
1 buah sosis yang juga sudah 1 minggu di kulkas
1 lembah ham goreng
1 bungkus bumbu nasi goreng instant (yah instant, mana bisa gw bikin sendiri!)

Cara pembuatan:
1. tuang minyak bekas masak ayam goreng ke dalam kuali (biar ada rasa ayam2nya walaupun nggak pakai ayam).
2. pecahkan telur dan diaduk sampai hancur-hancur, tambahkan garam dan lada secukupnya.
3. potong setengah sosis berbentuk dadu kecil-kecil
4. masukkan sosis masak bersama telur.
5. Masukkan nasi putih keras bekas kemarin ke dalam penggorengan.
6. kemudian masukkan bumbu instant, aduk sampai rata
7. goreng sisa potongan sosis dan ham di tempat terpisah.
8. Wala! Nasi goreng sudah siap disajikan panas-panas.

Pesan Moral:
1. Makanan enak, tidak selalu sehat. Tapi kalo kepepet apa boleh buat! :)
2. Makanan enak belum tentu dari bahan segar. Lagi-lagi karena kepepet! :)
3. Yang paling penting adalah:
"Jangan pernah merasa tidak berguna, karena nasi keras bekas kemarin saja masih bisa jadi enak!"

Happy Friday!

Your Time is always ticking

About two years ago..

I was sitting in front of my T40 Laptop, in my first office in BEJ.
I was browsing about study abroad.
I was wondering how it is feeling to study abroad.
And in my mind, it still an impossible thing to be done due to the money, the time to spend, etc.

About one year ago..

I was sitting in front of T400 laptop, in my second office in Plaza 89 (ayo tebak..?)
I was discussing about study abroad with my colleague.
I also discussed about how tired I am to be an auditor.
I did enjoy to be an auditor, but in that time, due to the overloaded workload, I finally started to complaining about my life.

Then, I see another opportunity to study abroad (again). I started to browse and gather all information. I was still in the mode of "study-abroad-is-likely-impossible-thing". But then I started to try a lot of ways to reach one of my dream.

About two month ago..

I have accepted in Macquarie University and they gave me several money for sponsoring my study. haha! what a dream. Though I still have to contribute a lot of money, to support my own life there.

As the time goes by, I suddenly submited my resignation letter. I suddenly off of my current job. I suddenly become jobless.

About a month ago..

A 24 years old woman, a women with no income, a jobless woman. Suddenly I felt like I have no pride anymore. without income, I can't buy anything I want. Without incomes, I became dependent again to my family. I am jobless..

One of my bestfriend told me to enjoy everything happen in these very time. It will be a time when you enjoy your glorious position in a big company. It will be a time when you need your time alone. It will be a time when you have to be dependent. It will be a time for everything. In the end, There will be a time when you look back into your own life and you see how happy you were to live your life.
Life is happen once, and you should enjoy everything you have, because those times will never come back.

About two week ago..

Finally i flew into Sydney, where my master degree is..
This is my first time to arrive at Sydney..
I was worried about everything, but I enjoyed those feeling.
It was a God grace that sent me here. so What should I complain about?

Now..

I finally got a nice place to rent, with a nice Indonesian couple, and near my campus..
I finally got several friends of mine in campus..
I am enjoying my first semester in MQu..
I enjoy when I thought I have no money to buy a book..
I enjoy the time that I have to travel 2 hour to go to my campus..
I enjoy the time when I looked for room to rent near my campus..
I enjoy my time skype-ing with my family, with my bf..
I enjoy everything happen just now..

Pesan moral:
Life happen just once. It is your choice to enjoy or to complain about your life.
Not to worry everything in the future is the best choice..
Live your life!!

The author and the main actress

I used "actress" because I am a woman. :)

Suatu hari gw menonton another romance film, dan gw berangan2 untuk menjadi si pemeran utama, yang selalu baik hati, lemah lembut, yang akhirnya menemukan sang pangeran pujaan, and they live happily ever after. and bla bla bla..

Kemuadian gw bertanya kepada diri sendiri.
WHAT IF (I hate this what if thing)..
What if, di dunia nyata ini, bukan gw pemeran utamanya..
What if, sebenernya gw berperan sebagai Drunella (saudara tiri Cinderella)..
What if, peran gw hanya figuran semata..
and any other "what if" yang menyatakan bahwa I am not the main actress.

Tapi kemudian gw berfikir.
Tuhan itu menciptakan semua dengan tujuannya masing2 bukan?
Drunella pasti memiliki kisahnya sendiri dibalik ke-iri-an-nya dengan Cinderella.
dan di cerita itu, Drunella akan menjadi pemeran utamannya bukan?

Dan di akhir perenungan gw *cah elahh*
gw menyimpulkan.

Dunia nyata ini adalah cerita kita masing2.
Dengan kita sebagai pusat dari segala macam cerita di dalam nya.
Cerita ini hanya bisa dibaca oleh diri kita sendiri.
dan ada satu privilege lagi, yaitu, kitalah penulisnya.
Yes, we are the author of our own life.

So, buat yang lagi resah memikirkan sesuatu yg bikin semangat turun (orang itu adalah gw sendiri sebetulnya) mari semangat, jadilah penulis cerita diri kita sendiri.

buat orang yang selalu mengeluh atas hidupnya saat ini (kembali lagi orang itu adalah gw), marilah berhenti mengeluh, hadapi semuanya dengan senyum, karena dunia ini hanya cerita, dan kita penulisnya.

buat orang yang takut menghadapi besok, dan membuat "what if-what if" lainnya (dan orang itu adalah gw lagih), remember: u are the author!!

dan sebenarnya ini blog dibuat untuk membangkitkan semangat gw sendiri menghadapi Senin..haha..

Have a great Monday guys! :D
