pursue,pursue,pursue your happiness


Wew. I neglect my lovely blog for decades.

This whole month really made me away from things I love. So many things to do. Lab reports, papers, presentations, my debate championship and its practice every night, well, mention them just made me tired.

Tomorrow is holiday, but I must wake and make up in the morning, cause I still one have discussion post-lab and present the 2009’s students for their presentation, I am as an assistant lab.

My life,lately, have been changed little. I just think about my life. Haha. Yeah, I know sounds so serious and creepy. I will enter my last years in university. Well, need a research to get graduate,though. I just think about my final script in my graduation. Okay, I tell you, in Indonesia, in my faculty,the graduate in bachelor degree, you must do a research then present it in front all of the students and the lecturers, you have to present it twice, first, before you make the research, present your background, your title, how the procedures are, something like that, then you start your research, after that you must present your result and being asked about everything, then after you will pass the big final examination and judging from all of the lecturers. That’s hard, I know.

Well, I am really interested to make a research in cosmetic technology coz I love to make a formula, and try something different.

Okay, let skip this topic.

I am listening The Coltrane now. I just finished washing dishes, cooking my dinner, baking a cake. My rutinity every night. I have fish today.hehe. and now I am laying on the bed, doing nothing, listening every lines from songs that playing in my dvd player. God, I love my life now. Wherei just think nothing and writing while I wait my cake get warm.

I watched a dvd last night, I think I am late for watch Pursuit of Happiness. This film is incredible. Simple one, just a jobless man who try to find a job for paying the bill, the wife left him, and he must struggle with his little son. Simple,yeah.

All of us are just like him. We want job, we want money, pay the bills, get the car, have a house with healthy children, the wife wants a perfect husband, the husband needs perfect wife. We are same, have one strong willing to get happy. But we have so many choices to get there, many ways,some chose good and some chose the bad ones. Everything just has its consequences.

But one thing, my favourite words from this movie, don’t ever let the people tell you that you can’t do anything, if you want, make it,period.

What do you wish for your life then? I wish that I can be war journalist, be a wife from a man I love, and be a mom from shiny kids like sunshine.
That’s all.

Cerita Si Bocah Berkaos Putih di Negeri Bawah Laut



Hari sangat panas disahuti suara binatang hutan yang seolah-olah terusik kehadiran dua anak kecil, keduanya berumur sepuluh tahun. Yang satu memakai kaos biru dan satunya lagi memakai kaos putih. Percakapan mereka disimak oleh pohon-pohon dan binatang-binatang hutan.

“Panas banget ya. Enaknya memang tidur-tiduran di bawah pohon kayak gini,” kata si kaos biru memulai percakapan sambil mengipas-ngipas dengan tangannya yang kecil.

“Iya ya. Aku jadi penasaran gimana ya rasanya salju atau tinggal di bawah laut.”sahut si kaos putih.

“Tinggal di bawah laut? Emang bisa?”tanya si kaos biru, heran.


“Bisa. Aku denger-denger sih bisa,”tanya si kaos putih dengan yakin.


Percakapan itu telah berlalu. Bertahun-tahun lamanya. Hutan tempat mereka bermain juga telah menjadi sebuah perumahan. Bocah berkaos biru dan putih itu pun telah berpisah sepuluh tahun sejak percakapan itu. Masing-masing pergi mengejar mimpinya.


Suatu hari, sepuluh tahun kemudian mereka dipertemukan kembali di situs jejaring sosial. Sehingga percakapan yang telah lama mereka tidak lakukan kembali hadir meskipun kali ini dalam bentuk yang berbeda.


Saat itu, si bocah berkaos putih berkata bahwa dia berhasil memenuhi impiannya untuk tinggal “di bawah laut” kepada sahabatnya. Si bocah berkaos biru terkejut terhadap apa yang dikatakan sahabatnya. Ternyata kini si bocah berkaos putih sedang kuliah di Netherlands, negeri yang biasa disebut Belanda, disebut Netherlands karena negara ini terletak di bawah garis permukaan laut.


Si bocah berkaos putih yang telah berhasil memenuhi impiannya merupakan salah satu dari kurang lebih 70.000 mahasiswa internasional yang menempuh pendidikan di Belanda. Belanda merupakan pilihan yang tepat untuk melanjutkan kuliah dengan beberapa universitas yang melatih para mahasiswanya menjadi menjadi ilmuwan (Research Universities) dan universitas-universitas untuk ilmu terapan (Universities with Applied Sciences) dengan kurikulum yang berkualitas. Negara ini dikenal terdepan dari segi pendidikan maupun metode pengajarannya, bahkan Leiden University yang merupakan universitas tertua didirikan sejak 1575.


Si bocah berkaos putih menjelaskan bagaimana bisa mendapatkan beasiswa untuk merasakan kuliah di negeri tulip. Pemerintah Belanda menyediakan banyak kesempatan berupa beasiswa dengan berbagai macam pilihan program dan jurusan. Ditambah pameran-pameran pendidikan yang sering diadakan di kota-kota di Indonesia yang bertujuan menambah informasi bagi siapapun yang tertarik melanjutkan studi di Belanda.

Banyak hal menyenangkan yang diperoleh si bocah berkaos putih di negeri kincir angin itu. Hal pertama yang dia perhatikan adalah masalah kedisiplinan, sehingga dia sering kagum melihat cepatnya orang berjalan di negeri itu, dia berkesimpulan bahwa selain untuk disiplin juga untuk menghangatkan tubuh mereka, maklum cuaca di sana dingin, kecuali musim panas saat udara lebih hangat dan cerah.

Hal yang sangat dia syukuri adalah pengalaman yang sangat berharga yaitu memiliki teman-teman yang berasal dari berbagai negara di belahan dunia. Tentu saja, Belanda yang memiliki universitas-universitas yang masuk dalam peringkat atas dalam daftar universitas terbaik di dunia membuat tingginya minat untuk studi di negera ini sehingga berdampak pada tingginya diversitas dalam sosial. Contohnya saja, di kelas tahun pertama kuliahnya berisi dari empat puluh orang yang berasal dari berbagai macam negara di dunia. Didukung adanya program magang atau pertukaran pelajar antar universitas dengan negara-negara Eropa lainnya membuat dia memiliki banyak teman dan jaringan yang luas. Hal ini sangat membantu dia dalam mempersiapkan diri untuk di dunia kerja nantinya disamping pelatihan-pelatihan yang diberikan secara professional di kampusnya.

Tidak pernah ada kata bosan tinggal di Belanda, kata si bocah berkaos putih. Selain, bertemu dengan teman-teman yang menyenangkan, dia tinggal di student house yang dihuni sekitar tujuh puluh lima mahasiswa internasional, sehingga tidak jarang mereka melakukan pesta atau sekedar saling mencoba masakan khas daerah masing-masing. Dia sering menghabiskan waktunya dengan mengendarai sepeda menyusuri kota Amsterdam, menyusuri Damsquare, mengunjungi Museum Madame Tussaud, melihat-lihat bunga tulip di Keukenhof, atau melihat karya pelukis terkenal di dunia, Vincent Van Gogh, di Van Gogh Museum yang sangat lengkap, mulai dari kisah hidupnya, hingga teknik-teknik lukisan Van Gogh yang terkenal dengan aliran pointilisme. Negara ini sangat menjunjung sejarahnya dibuktikan dengan bangunan-bangunan kuno yang masih berdiri gagah peninggalan abad-abad pertengahan hingga peninggalan perang dunia I dan II.

Tidak hanya mencintai sejarahnya, selain sangat maju dalam bidang teknologi dan pembangunan, Belanda juga terkenal mencintai linkungan. Belanda terkenal akan pengendara sepedanya, bahkan jalan-jalan rayanya juga diatur untuk pengguna kendaraan bebas polusi ini.


Mau ke mana-mana jadi gampang. Mau ke Perancis? Jerman? Italia? Atau negara-negara Eropa lainnya sangat mudah. Selain bisa dengan kereta api, para agen travel di negeri oranye ini mematok harga pesawat yang murah, yang sangat mudah dijangkau bahkan untuk mahasiswa.


Negara yang memiliki sistem pemerintahan berupa kerajaan ini, sadar akan “kekayaan budaya”-nya sehingga sering diadakan festival-festival yang sangat meriah. Selain itu, negara ini juga sangat mencintai olah raga sepak bola, bahkan telah menganggap sebagai bagian hidup penduduk setempat.


Cerita si bocah berkaos putih belumlah selesai. Masih banyak hal lain yang ingin dia ceritakan pada sahabatnya, si bocah berkaos biru. Namun, karena di belahan bumi Indonesia telah beranjak larut maka mereka terpaksa menutup chatting mereka. Malam itu juga, si bocah berkaos biru bermimpi menyusul sahabatnya, bocah berkaos putih, melanjutkan percakapan mereka di Damsquare.

Dream, Think, and Carpe Diem



What you want to be? This is just a question but if you ask me, you will get much answers from me.
When I was little girl ehm..about three years old, I was dream to be an actor especially movie actor, because I want have many dress and a horse. A horse?hahaha. I don’t know why.
Then when I was seven, I wanted to be a stewardess. In eleven years old, I was dream to be an artist, especially a painter.

As time goes by, I did decide what I want to be. I thought that your dream or what you want to be is your job then. But now, I did know some.

What you want to be is about what you want reach. You can be whatever you want to be. You can decide what you want to be. For me, normal answers are : I want to be a president then, I will be a doctor then, or engineer, or teacher, or nurse, or singer. Sounds old for me.
Okay,okay. I tell you, what do I want to be?

#1:War Journalist and medic activist, this is my aim in my life. Some people think I take the wrong major in university, but I am not. Frankly, my major is my dad’s will. He ask me to take pharmacy when I took national exams to university. But seems, I am in love with my major though it made me lazy to write again. When I report the war or in conflict zone I can be a medic activist and help people.

#2:Chef. Why? Frankly, I love to eat. My friends always wonder why I don’t get fat whereas I eat so much. Some of my friends jokes me that I have intestine disorder. Hahaha. So from now on, I start to cook and try some new recipes, Europe, America, Asian, Indian, Mediteranian, or from everywhere. At least, if I cant have my own show, I can be great chef for my husband then (hope, my husband will not get fat).

#3:Photographer:i think, we all can be a photographer in our own. Start to get your own picture. Don’t ever think about what people say about your style or your taste, as long as you love it to see it and confident about it. Go for it. Now, I start to save money for buying my own SLR.

#4:Interior designer. I ever thought that if I failed in national exams and don’t get my major and stuck in it, I will take design interior in faculty of art. Because, I really love design and manage a room. Well, I think I can apply my taste in own house then.

#5:Fashion Consultant: May be cause I loved play Barbie make me love something smelly fashion. I just want people dress well, you are what you wear. If you can dress well proved that you love your self. First thing first is love your self then people start to love you. I start to dress well, no need something expensive.

Now, you did decide what you want to be? Or you just stuck in what condition give to you? Wake up,people, be what you want to be. Carpe diem, cause, life is too short to be wasted.

what do you read,lately?


Wow. Let me ask your forgiveness, I know I am lazzy. God, I have no idea where the hell I went for a whole month.

It’s the end of the end of march. And tomorrow is the beginning of april. Do you celebrate april mop? If u ask me, I will say I don’t. Why? Because I joke and I can lie everytime I want.hahaha. But, trust me, I am not too enough to be called a liar.

Anyway, in this whole week, I neglect all my stuff. Haha. I am bussy to read The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. I have known this book since many years ago, but I just started to read this book lately. Really, it amazes me so much. Each lines, each words.

This is my one my favorite lines:
“The loss of Sophie Mol stepped softly around the Ayemenem House like a quiet thing in socks. It hid in books and food. In Mamachi’s violin case. In the scabs of the sores on Chako’s shins that he constantly worried. In his slack, womanish legs.”

Just one I can say to you, read it.
(may be, after this I will try to read the books those really related to my major (: )
