Ujian & Berlian

“Hidup kan ujian. Namanya ujian pasti dikasih untun aspek yang belum matang. Kalau dikasih untuk aspek yang udah matang, nyontek namanya.”

 

“Berlian di mana aja jadi berlian, Rum. Rongsokan di mana aja jadi rongsokan.

Fokus aja terus ngembangin diri dengan pressure yang ga biasa. Sampai pressure-nya berasa “gitu doang”.

Diamond itu karbon, (karbon) bahkan lebih buruk dari rongsokan. Setelah jadi, better than any gold.”

 

Thank you, my SCCF :))

Writing On The Train

Hi guys, I know it’s been long since my last post. I still learn to manage my life, develop daily routines, etc. Life has been a bit busy. This post might not be as positive or exciting as I hope it to be. However, I really miss writing my blog. So yeah.. here’s some stories..

Yesterday, I went to Jakarta for a personal matter. I left from Bandung at 6.45 a.m. Arrived at Jakarta around 10.30 a.m. Then I got some brunch (an excuse for not making time to eat breakfast before left). Finished my personal matter at 4 p.m. then left for travel pool. The booking slots for that afternoon wert full. Luckily, I had booked my seat so, even though I didn’t get the earlier travel, I still had my 5.45 p.m travel. Traffic jam as usual. Arrived at Bandung at 11 p.m then there were traffic jam again in the city which made me wonder why that’s happen. Haha what can i do. Arrived at Bandung pool at 11.45 p.m. Luckily again I have my dearest boyfriend who waited for me and picked me up at pool 💕. 

Then I slept at around 2 a.m. this morning to wake up again in the morning to pray and get ready to work. Sleepy and hungry. I didn’t get chance to eat properly for dinner, only bought a snack in rest area. Lazily, I ate granola + milk this morning, in my bed. Then I got ready for work. Worked. Went to train station in the middle of drizzle. I supposed to be sleeping right now in the train since I have been sleepy today at work. I could not sleep now. I suspected this because of my head was filled with many thoughts. So, I wrote this.

I enjoyed these 2 days. These days have been an eye opening experience for me. It made me realize more about what I want, what i don’t like, what have I achieved, received, what have changed for the last year. Things have been greater than I expected a year ago. One thing that I (again) realize is that I cannot imagine myself living day by day for some years in Jakarta. I think I have been adapted well to Bandung haha #notjakartansmaterial

One Year Later…

It’s been a year and some weeks after my graduation. It’s almost one year working full-time at my current office. It’s almost the new year again.

I thought life with no mid-test, no homework, no programming tasks, no 7 a.m. class will be easier. No, it was not since there are more challenges, of course. Even so, it’s more fun and enjoyable than before. I learned a lot, most of it is about life, real life (i’m so irresponsible during my college life hehe).

I still need to manage my life well. I still need to thrive on my targets and do more things that bring happiness. 🙂

Quick Catch Up

Hi All, how’s your day?

Finally, I have time to write again here :”) I do have many things to write, things that cross my minds, but life has been fast-paced these days. Things happened and I had to work on those things (not wanting to be ungrateful, I won’t tell what the things are haha. And you must not enjoy to read my complains, right? Haha). 
And here I am taking a one day leave from work, to have rest and prepare for next days. Since I don’t know what should I do today, I can write again here, yeay!

Bandung is raining this week, guys (It seemed like no rain on last week, didn’t it?) be prepared, stay healthy, & eat good foods.

Lesson Learned: Write

Why did I have so much in my mind?

 

Why did I get angry easily these days? (i.e. angry to Angkot drivers who dropped me off before I reached my office because they wanted to change their route and I was the only passenger)

 

Where did my money go?

 

Those were questions that I just started to realize this week. And I needed to solve them as soon as possible. Fortunately, I always know that writing in my private journal can provide help for me. I spent some time at night to write them out. And I realized my mistake: I did not write.

 

I did not write my private journal. That’s why I had so much in my mind because I kept them only in my mind. I kept not only about things in my minds, but also my emotions which I had to let out :p

 

I did not write my financial journal. Well, I have written my financial journal since January this year, but I did not make the report (for myself), did not pay attention to my budget, and did not write every purchase I made. I thought with just writing down big purchases, it would be ok, while, in fact, that is not OK because I also made many small purchases which if accumulated will be as significant as the big purchases. In short, I did not appreciate my money. Then, I made some refinements on how I manage my money. Started from August, I write my financial journal more carefully. I even make the report with a graph in it. And it feels so good to see the graph does not go downward in a steep line haha. 😀

Time & Energy

“Please write something so this domain won’t be useless”  – note to myself.

HAHA. What should I write?

 

Actually, there’re many things going on in my mind, but I don’t know how to write them. Like this morning, how I envy my brother who has done something for years which is playing games. I envy his consistency. What things that I have done for more than 5 or maybe 3 years? hmm… sadly, it’s hard to answer that question 🙁 Well, this blogging thing is one thing that I enjoy for a long time (more than 5 years) but now my post number is decreasing each month. And swimming also an activity that I enjoy for years. But again, I do not do those two things as often as before because I have work etc etc.

 

Sigh! I know that’s such an excuse! this all because I do not manage my time and energy well. This week, I planned to go swimming today, but yeah since I just arrived from Bekasi yesterday morning and then I felt so tired and I woke up late and I still had things to do and that’s how I canceled my swimming plan 🙁

 

I hope I have more time and energy to do things I love (Wow this remind me with the “2016 Annual Letter” on Bill Gates’ blog ). I also do hope I have more things that I’d love to do for the next 5, 10 years and so on.

Twitter: Mute

Today, at lunch break, I opened twitter. I read some tweets. Not long after that, I closed the app. Twitter before that moment is a place with interesting, positive news and I can spend some minutes reading it. I did not remember which tweet or whose tweet that made me decide to close the app, what I remember is the tweet about hate. Reading it today just lower my overall happiness level.

Update: I just looked at my twitter feed to find which tweet that made me close the app. Found it. Mute the account, done 😛

I won’t delete or deactivate my account for now because I still use my twitter as my bookmark for articles wkwk.
