Goodbye Indonesia - Welcome to Holland!

Besok, BIG DAY, huh?

Yap,.. besok Oma akan meninggalkan (lagi) kota Surabaya tercinta, dan bumi Indonesia, untuk (kembali) menuntut ilmu di negeri kincir angin, negeri mantah penjajah Indonesia. Yup,.. I am going to the Netherlands.

How is Oma today?

Ada beberapa ingredients dari perasaan Oma akhir-akhir ini:
  1. Senang (of course) karena akan ketemu Bang Tepy
  2. Streesssshh karena ndak tau apa yang akan Oma encounters di Belanda nanti. Entah akan happy, apa sedih, apa kere kayak dulu lagi,... no clue!
  3. Petrified,.. karena kali ini, benar-benar-benar walk-by-faith-kinda-step. Jadi,.. I rely on no one but God. Only God knows how I can and will survive over there. Yeah,.. Oma dapet God Scholarship. Jadi ya,... tergantung yang ngasih beasiswa mo gimana.
  4. Excited. Bakal ketemu TEMAN-TEMAN!! Keluarga di Belanda!!! dan of course 3/4 of my DieKa Friends (sorry, Golda... we are waiting for you!!)
  5. Tired,..... ya iyalaaah (masak ya iya deh,.. kan lompah galah, bukan lompat gadeh :P) secara Oma packing dan beres-beres rumah gitu lho. Mana tiap malam ada yang ngajakin keluar. Tapi seneng kok :P

So,... Yeah,.. Oma pergi besok.

Oma mo minta doa dan dukungan kalian semua. Without you all, Oma bukanlah Oma Nia :) Please pray for me, for Oma en Bang Tepy, for our future.

Oma juga mo minta maaf, buat semua orang yang pernah Oma kenal. Oma minta maaf kalau Oma sudah kasar, jahat, atau nakal sama kalian. Atau kalau Oma punya salah yang Oma ngga sadar, mohon maafkan.

Dan buat satu dua orang yang mungkin merasa pernah menyakiti Oma, I wanna say, I forgive you; yet I forget you. I sincerely forgive you, tapi maaf, Oma ndak bisa lagi mengembalikan hubungan kita seperti dulu lagi. The past has gone, sorry.

Dan buat satu dua orang yang mungkin merasa Oma masih memiliki janji, atau mungkin pernah memberikan kalian ketidakpastian. Oma minta maaf. I wanna say,... I am really-100%-clearly-purely sure with what I am doing right now. Goodbye,.. but we are friends, rite?

Thanks buat semua orang, teman, sahabat, musuh atau whoever you are,... THANKS! kalian sudah membentuk Oma seperti Oma sekarang ini.

Once again, thanks.

Goodbye

Eh,.. jadi inget lagu spice girls

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain, love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby

Goodbye my friend
(I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it
Time will never change it, no no no...

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

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

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
