The Newest Chapter of Life

Gambar
This post is finally breaking the ice. I feel like having ignored this space for ages. Now I make a new commitment to take more time on writing my life journal here in this blog.  Many things have happened during the silence and absence on this page. I have to start a new page of the chapter in my life. The new chapter is all about how Covid-19 has surely changed everything; study plan and the way I see death.  I started 2021 with a big hope that I could fly overseas and commenced my study in ANU on February 2021. Yet, reality was not as beautiful as the future plan I made on LPDP Life Grandmap. After getting the scholarhip, I went through several preparations on my study. IELTS preparation, official IELTS test, and university application went perfectly smooth as planned. Even the complicated study permission from my institution went quite well despite the fact that I had to go through level by level procedures. all was OK. However, the pandemic was getting worse, resulting in online d

Letters from Dad (2)

Dec 13th, 2016 My little baby, How are you? It’s me again, your lovely Dad. It’s 17.32 and the there is still raining outside. Not a heavy one like yesterday, but still it’s raining. Rain is a liquid water or moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops. It is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. That’s a physics definition of rain, quite complicated, isn’t it? Well your dad is not so lucky to learn Physics (and Math as well) properly and have a passion on it, so he knows a little bit on this. When you come into being and growing up, you’re gonna have much greater opportunity to love this subject, okay! Trust me my love, this is an amazing subject. It will allow you to learn and know, even experience universe in much much better perspective. When your dad, me, and your mom get older, we’re gonna be sitting down fondly to listen to your theory of physics. It’s almost 6 pm and I am

First Letter from Daddy

As Today is Special My little child, Today was Monday 12th of December, 2016. It was just a normal day as usual, the very first day of the second week of December. It was full of rain, almost throughout the day. We got a peak of a heavy one here in Waikabubak, Sumba at about 1.00 pm. Well, it’s a rainy season already, so cloud and rain are the essential determinants. You’ll experience such things as you get here. You know, it never gets easy for human being to face Monday. Monday is quite scary, as people should get back to work after a long weekend (I’ll explain to you latter about what weekend is and how people define and live it, okay!). Luckily, today was a holiday. It’s a Muslim day of celebrating Maulidur Rasul (hmm, Muslim is a religion here, but we are Christian, okay). So, holiday is literally a time where people do not have to go to work or to school. Holiday means; you don’t work but still you get paid at the end of the month. So there it was, nothing was better than a

A random story of a life time

Gambar
I am thinking about writing something today. I should admit that I've been too lazy to write since I was starting my new job. I let my diary unwritten, empty and lonesome. If they were animate, they would be crying for being lonely. So, here I tell my apology to all my empty sheets of diary and of course the spaces on my blog. sorry for being so harsh and ignorant lately.. What I'm gonna share today is all related to the future. First, it's about my scholarship application that almost made me upset and the second one is about our 'coming soon' wedding day. The two topics sound quite serious, right?! yup.. as I've never been playing around with my life. Scholarship was closely reachable this year.. yes, that's what I was thinking early, yet it's not that easy to grab. I should keep my application saved as a draft until next year. You'll never imagine how hard I was working on my application, stealing some minutes on my hectic working days. I was s

Early Christmas Present; Experiencing Melbourne (Part 1)

Gambar
Happy Christmas everyone! How's your preparation for Christmas? I'm sure all of you have been so busy preparing all Christmas stuff such as cookies, christmas tress, decoration of red, green and gold, and so on. Yeah, Christmas is always like that as it happens once in a year so it deserves our greatest attention. Talking about Christmas, I've got a story to share today. It's about my early Christmas present from santa to touch down Kangaroo country, particularly Melbourne, the most liveable city on earth (that's what people say about Melb). I should tell you that my preparation to visit this country was like playing gambling. Yes, gambling, because I've booked the tickets before knowing the schedule of my 'Prajabatan" training (a requirement for civil servant in Indonesia before getting their full position in government sectors). So you can imagine how I prayed day and night asking God to have mercy on me.. well, I was like a little kid asking her dad

When you wrote a letter for me

One day..when I decide to turn back for a while, I'll come to this site to find your first love letter on Valentine's day and thank God for all the bumpy roads we've gone through.. Thank for loving me with all my curves and edges, Joseph.. Thank for being my humble carpenter.. Honey-Va, Feb., 2009 Untuk seorang kekasih, Hidupku hari ini terus menyadarkanku akan sebuah rasa syukur tak berkesudahan untuk banyak hal baik dalam diriku. Mengenalmu dengan keseluruhan dimensimu bukanlah sebuah pelengkap, namun lebih merupakan kulminasi, representasi terbaik semua kebaikan itu. Pertemuan dan kebersamaan fisis yang sebentar itu sudah cukup memenuhi keseluruhan memori penceritaanku tentang kebahagiaan. Kebahagiaan yang selalu ingin kuceritakan, terlebih dengan dirimu, bercerita tentang cinta, dan menghidupinya, hanya  bersamamu. Kisah itu, untuk sebuah pemenuhan defenisi literalnya mungkin baru diukir. Mungkin masih terlalu dini orang berpikir tentang sebuah memori, kenangan yan

Pelatihan Komputer Kemendikbud

Belajar tak mengenal usia. itulah kesan yang saya temukan saat pertama kali bertemu dengan peserta Pelatihan Komputer dan Bahasa Inggris bagi pegawai yang berada di lingkungan Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan. Sebagai salah satu instansi di bawah Kemendikbud, Kantor Bahasa Provinsi NTT instansi tempat saya bekerja menugasi saya untuk mengikuti pelatihan komputer. Sebuah pengalaman baru ketika saya harus menyatu dalam kelas yang bervariasi usia. Bertemu senior dan teman seangkatan, lalu belajar bersama menjadi sebuah kebahagiaan tersendiri, apalagi melihat antusiasme senior yang walaupun sedikit kesulitan memahami materi komputer, tapi tidak pernah mengenal kata menyerah. Belajar memang berlangsung sepanjang masa. Kelas komputer awalnya kedengaran sedikit membosankan apalagi karena saya tidak terlalu buta komputer. Hampir setiap hari saya harus bersentuhan dengan komputer untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas kantor, sehingga komputer dan program-program Microsoft Offi
