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?"
i have been working for almost 2 weeks now, being a translator/interpreter/note taker/project office/kacung (:P) for a Japanese organization. im working with a team of 7; 2 of them are way older, and they are the leaders;the rest is around my age. even one of them went to the same university as i did, only she went to FE, i went to FISIP.
anyways, i dont know why, but it seems like im the one go out most often. almost everyday i have two meetings, sometimes even back to back, and when i got back to the office, i have to prepare the reports, make a translation (if its conducted in Indonesian), and booyy.. am i tired! there are 2 other team members who go out to meetings too, but i guess not as often as me. but today, when i only had 1 meeting during lunch, spend most time in the office, i get bored! hehehe.. well well well. we are one hard to satisfy creature, aren't we?
btw,ive been verrrrry sentimental lately. those tears of mine? they seems to like to fell very easily. it was started when a friend of mine lost her sister last Sunday. i was never that close to this friend, and i didnt even know the sister, but i followed her story since she was sick through my friend's twitter account. she updates her timeline regularly, and by reading it, i become so attached to their story. sadly, the sister has passed away :(
i even cried when i read her tweet, which said about her sister's death. i spontaneusly related her feelings to mine, i myslef have lost my father 2 years ago. it was very hard for me, as u loyal readers of my blog might have known, and i cant imagine what she felt.
with my own experience, and her story, i got something to learn. it is to cherish and embrace every moment with the ones you love, cos we will never know, when our time is up.
another thing, please wish me luck on my preparation to go to UK. i have submitted my scholarship application and now waiting for the result. i have applied for an accommodation, but unfortunately what i got is quite expensive so im looking for other options. i have until next monday to decide, whether i want to take the expensive - but close to campus - or other options. if those two are settled, i can apply for my visa! and that's a verrrryyy huge matter. please please please let me get my visaa... pleasssseee :)
