Under The Sky

I encountered year of 2011 with many of quarrels, mistakes, bad and good decisions, some great dance performances, did something that I never did., visited more than one countries a year, some of my short stories got appraisal and achievements, sent my novel's draft to a publisher and being rejected.


During my 2011's time, I have rose, walked, ran, felt, pushed, pulled, downed by many situations.  I learned a lots from my mistakes, from my failure.  Instead of that, I also got some achievement, made a decision that I never dare to take, walked out from my comfortable zone.


And when the year of 2011 is going to over, I have set some new wishing revolutions for myself.
- learned more belly dance
- read more books
- try harder, no matter how many time I should accept the failure
- let go of something that is not meant for me
- become more mature than before
- publish at least two books this year
- being more productive in writing 
- get to know more people


But most of all, during my step to 2012, I had make the most decision in my life.  Let go my current job which I worked for 3 years or more, to pursue my education abroad.  Try to build up a new life within a year out there.


I promised to myself, I will work harder, less complaint to life, rely more on myself than others.  I am just one step closer to my dream.  


"It won't called a dream if it's easy to achieve.  It needs a lots of scarification to make it comes true.  And I won't give up halfway."

Sing A Song

Wooohoooo!!
I'm back for blogging after a couple of days, or maybe weeks.
Recently, I have many things to do.  Matters to be solved and some other daily stuffs.
At least, I can enjoy a little of fun for today.


We are having a small gathering with our fellow classmate.
Have a fine dinner and karaoke after that.
Well, I don't feel like want to share a lot of stories for today.
I'm kinda tired, so let's share some pictures that I took.

Admired

I found out an amazing work from someone called "Valentina Kallias".
She really did a good job and I admired her a lot.
From her blog, it is stated that her work has appeared on book covers, cd covers and magazines.
She is really a talented person.


And if you are curious about her other work, you can visit her blog at :

When I saw the old pictures, I found out that everyone has grew up and being more mature. It was just like yesterday. We laughed, talked, shared, cried. As we closed our eyes and opened them up again, all of them has became memories. And memories were a comfortable place to be visited, but not a worthy place to be stayed. 

A Stone Bridge

Just now, I watched a movie with a title " Reign Assassin ".  

I have no reason why I love martial arts story especially with a setting from before centuries costume.

I loved to learn about the history story from back then.  And usually the love story that slipped inside the movie or drama was not to overreacted, not to "lebay" but it kinda sweet.

Just like one of the scene, when the lady assassin killed one of the monk, actually the man is only a Buddha's disciple that will become a monk in a few days.  The Buddha's disciple called Wisdom aid his last words, "I would turn into a bridge for 500 years and endure the wind and rain."

After the lady assassin killed Wisdom, he found the other old monk to ask some question.  One of the question was the meaning behind the last words of Wisdom.  So, the old monk told her a story.

"There was a Buddha's Disciple called Ananda.  Anda before he become a monk, on his way, he met a beautiful girl and felt in love with her.  Then Buddha asked him, "How much do you love her?"  Ananda answered, " I would turn into a stone and endure 500 years of wind, 500 years of sunlight and 500 years of rain and the only thing he asked, that the girl would walk over the bridge."

It wasn't an over-reacted love confession.  It was kinda sweet and came from the deepest of the heart.  

I bet every woman in this world will melt after hear this kind of confession. ^_^

An Afternoon

One of my uncle from my Mom's side is a "Pandita".  Currently, he was stayed in Sydney.  But couple weeks ago, he flew back to Indonesia and stayed at Cemara's Temple.  Me, my sister and my aunt visited him today.
We chatted a lot and shared some opinion.

Surprise

I never expected that I would get this kind of surprise ahhaha..
I have enough surprise for myself such as celebrated my birthday for the whole day at Disneyland- Hongkong.
So, I really appreciated for my lovely friends that had prepared this surprise for me and Shelly.
Mine at 5 January, Shelly at 8 January.

Norwegian Wood

Last two days, when I was in KL airport, my eyes caught a book which I bought at last.
It was Norwegian Wood.  I never read about this novel news not even the synopsis.  So, it can be said, that time was the first time for me to get into the book and I just felt in love with it at that moment.


I think it will be great to read the story in English translation, the passage, the descriptive is more realistic than other translation.  But how I wish, I can read Japanese, the original language, of course it will sound so much better than the translation.


So, for anyone that love to read romance, mystery of love, I recommended this book.
You should have this book.

"To live strongly"

Day 8 : Hongkong - KL - Medan

We're going back today.  How do I wish to stay longer here.  I knew a new friends.  I adapted to the new environment.  And when I am getting used to the culture, I must going home.
And I have no idea, when will I return back.


Holiday is over, but the spirit of the holiday still here, inside everyone heart.
