hello from bournemouth!
alhamdulilah.. jadi juga gue akhirnya meninggalkan kota jakarta sejenak, dan ngelanjutin S2.
skrg gue resmi jadi mahasiswa MA Advertising and Marketing Communications di Bournemouth Uni, UK.
ini jalan 2 minggu gue ada disini.. so far.. hmmm.. masih adaptasi banget, masi sering kesepian, soalnya daerah rumah gue emang sepi pisan, jauh bgt sama jakarta. jadinyaa kalo udah malem dikit tuh udah kayak kota mati, bener2 siiinggg.... gitu, ampir ga ada suara.
rumah gue sih enak, jadi gue disini tinggal di rumah, kayak kos2an lah, nyewa kamar gitu. bersama 3 student lainnya, cw2, 1 dari jepang, 2 dari inggris. enaknya sih rumahnya udah full equipped, jadi kita tinggal bawa badan doang. tapi sulitnya, agak2 in the middle of nowhere, ga ada bus yg langsung ke kampus. kalo mau naik bus ke kampus, musti jalan 15 menit dulu. tadinya gue udah mau pindah aja tuh kan, tapi ya dipikir2.. hmmm tahan2 dulu deh. biasakan dulu, namanya juga baru pindahan kan.
doain yaa.. semua yg baca blog gue.. mudah2an gue bisa belajar dengan rajin, bisa lancar, nilainya bagus2, bisa lulus pas setahun dgn disticntion, bisa lancar LDR-an, bisa pulang dijemput lagi sama zia di soekarno hatta, bisa dapet kerjaan yg oke di jkt nanti kalo gak spore/kl/bangkok, amiiiinnnn :)
till later... xxxx
i'm dead scared.
it's 29 days left till my (supposed-to-be) departure date,
but i still couldn't process my visa application.
i also haven't done my tooth operation,
haven't done a medical check up,
haven't paid my booked plane ticket (this will be done after the visa is done, supposedly)
haven't started packing..
i still need to buy a Blackberry phone - to make easy connecting with people here -
still need to buy shoes (i barely wear shoes here, mostly sandals and flipflops - which i cant do anymore, otherwise my feet will be frozen :p)
still need to buy warm clothes (not much tho, only 2-3 pairs)
Dear God, please lead your way..
please smooth things up.
please give me your Ramadhan miracles, for i cant do anything else but to ask for your kindness...
i didn't get the scholarship. there goes 2000 poundsterling. hiks hiks hiksim praying so hard now, that unlike this one, the rest of the process will run smoothly, and i'll be going to Bournemouth next month. O Dear God, please lead the way...
I went to Java Rockin Land last Saturday night. it was a three days rock festival, but i only came on the second day, to see Mr.Big. well im actually not much of a fan, but my mom forced me to come, to accompany my brother. Also, my boyfriend wants to see them, so i went anyway.
The event was massive, super crowded, it took us 2 hour to got into the venue, from inside Ancol (normally only like 10 minutes). That made me missed Immortal Legends' performance (an all girl band -tribute to rock legends), and i only got to see one song from Tika, one song from Secondhand Serenade, 2 songs from Pure Saturday, the whole performance of Mr.Big, and 2 songs from Efek Rumah Kaca.
We saw Efek Rumah Kaca right after Mr.Big. At that time, me and boyfriend were separated from our friends, and were waiting for my brother to meet us there. Tired after jumping and singing out loud to Mr.Big, we sat in the dome, he was nearly asleep, while i was religiously listening to their performance. They were playing "Sebelah Mata" when we came.
Suddenly and old memory flashes in my mind. I knew Efek Rumah Kaca on 2007, during the darkest time of my life. My father just died on the 3rd month, and i had an ugly break up on the 9th month. If i'm not mistaken, their first album was released on the 10/11th month. so there. a perfect companion to my dark hours.
So there i was, on a beautiful saturday with the boyfriend, listening to what used to my crying companion. but it felt different at that time, seeing their performance made me learn one new thing... that life goes on.
anyway, their performance were as good as i remembered it. Kudos to Efek Rumah Kaca, my favorite Indonesian Indie band of all time! :)
"can we love someone so much, but don't have faith in him at the same time? or is it not love?"
