Ayo Sekolah!

Pagi ini Oma bangun dengan perasaan kuatir, takut, atau mungkin juga males. Sebentar lagi kuliah akan dimulai, dan Oma akan menjadi seorang student lagi.

Ada beberapa konotasi 'student' yang (kadang) bikin Oma males:
1. Student = kere
2. Student = deadline
3. Student = lembur
4. Student = No Job, thus butuh part-time job
5. Student = Homesick/Culture Shock
6. Student = tidak gaul kalo tidak suka hang out

Apalagi sekarang Oma kuliah Master. Master adalah sesuatu yang lebih sulit daripada Bachelor (of course). Master lebih banyak tugas dan deadline daripada Bachelor. Master lebih mahal daripada Bachelor (very obvious). Master membuat student tidak memungkinkan untuk kerja daripada saat Bachelor.

Dan Master kali ini adalah tantangan berat buat Oma. Selain Oma mengejar gelar Master of International Communication Management; Oma juga mengejar gelar Master dalam course 'Walk by Faith' and 'Trusting God'.

Sudah 4 tahun Oma mengambil kelas 'Walk by Faith' and 'Trusting God', tapi belum lulus-lulus, walaupun uda sedikit naik level. Kali ini, Oma benar-benar akan berusaha untuk lulus dari ujian dua kelas ini. Not easy, but I will really try my best.

How best? This best: sudah seminggu lebih Oma di Belanda, dan belum sehari pun Oma nangis-nangis dan/atau marah-marah karena ndak punya uang atau kepikiran ntar uang gimana. Honestly, kadang kepikiran, tapi selalu saja Oma tendang jauh-jauh pikiran itu dan berdoa. So,... I am quite good. Semoga sampai satu tahun di sini, Oma tetap berpikiran positif dan 100% mengandalkan Tuhan for paying my bills and tuition fee.

Baru aja Oma buka Jawaban.com. Uda lama juga ngga buka! Anyway,.. I found a very good inspiration from this story. Semoga kalian juga suka. Satu yang Oma belajar, berjalan maju, walaupun lambat dan andalkan Tuhan.

Hm,.. good luck, Nia!



Tetaplah bergerak maju, sekalipun lambat. Karena dalam keadaan tetap bergerak, Anda menciptakan kemajuan. Adalah jauh lebih baik bergerak maju, sekalipun pelan, daripada tidak bergerak sama sekali.

Dalam hidup kita sering merasa buntu hanya karena kita ingin mengambil satu langkah yang terlalu besar, langkah raksasa. Akibatnya, masalah kita jadi terlihat besar sekali, kompleks, dan tidak terselesaikan. Hasilnya, Anda hanya termenung dan tidak bergerak.

Sabar dan coba mundur sebentar. Perhatikan tantangan Anda. Tidakkah lebih memungkinkan bagi Anda untuk mengambil langkah-langkah pendek terus-menerus, daripada berusaha menelan semua masalah sekaligus. Satu langkah kecil demi satu langkah kecil, asalkan Anda tidak berhenti, adalah cukup, karena Anda masih memiliki hari esok dan masih ingin bergerak maju, dan bukan berhenti.

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand...

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live...
