hope for new year

"if it means to be together there is always a way to make it happen"

"Let it go so you can listen"

"my heart said go chasing him, my brain said stop, he will come to you if he still wants you"


3 quotes and the last one is from my own experience. This is the end of the year, the end of some of hope and wishes, but beginning of my new journey.

Next year, I will be happy!
next year I will find my happiness
next year I hope most of my resolution come true
Positive thinking!!
Bismillah :)

Brisbane oh Brisbane

been 2 months  i left Brissy and keep counting.
Recently i heard a really bad news about this lovely city.
2 weeks ago a dead body found near Kurilpa park, South Brisbane. and it was a girl and naked,
i felt soo sad when i heard she is a student and just headed back to her accommodation at 11 pm the last time cctv catched her location. she is international student from France. even though police already found the murder but the reason behind his action still unclear. Brisbane people did many things to show how they concern and care about this accident. as i read, there are many flowers, letters for Ms. coloumbet ( the victim) in Kuril park. as Brisbane known as one of the safest city in the world and become a third biggest and cheapest city after Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, This news became heartbreak news for Brisbane city and destroyed its image.

Many foreign decide to study in Brisbane because of its safest. as alumni of Brisbane university, this was my reason as well to continued my master degree here. well, the crime keeps continue, i just read another bad news from UQ forum that mentioned, one of UQ students got hit by 2 strangers in parking lot area!! He was heading to his car near football field and suddenly 2 men asked to borrow his phone. he answered "no" and the next thing happen so quick. these men hit this guy and took his phone, wallet and car key!! Unfortunately they didnt take his laptop (weird). can you imagine what if it wasnt a guy but a girl. gosh :(

Brisbane city has cctv almost everywhere. In Queen st mall has 40 cctv and in every corner of Brisbane city you can find cctv easily. Unfortunately in the night, there is dark spot that invisible in cctv. Brisbane people are quite nice. no matter how drunk are they, they wont harm you. disturb may be but wont harm you. as student, i had walked home in the mid night, studied late in library, finished project till morning in uni, walked alone and in the darkness, met drunker, took late night bus at 1 or 4 am. i experienced all those things. that is why, for student, those things are common and we never worry.

i'm so sad, nowadays it changed. student being a target and Brisbane not as safe as previously.
Hope it will over soon :(

i still remember friend of mine accidentally left her phone in cotton on store. and she remembered it when she arrived home and the store closed already. the next day she came and she was so surprise found her phone still in the same place, even though she came in the afternoon and it was a busy time for store. non of cotton on's staffs save her phone but it still there. that was an amazing moment and prove Brisbane as safest city.... :(

pre exam

hallo... long time no post anything. hayahh..
well, pagi ini udaranya cukup enak buat bobo lagi tapi kalo bobo lagi bahan ujian ga kelar2 di review sedang ujian minggu depan.
anyway, mau cerita tenting hari selasa di sini, Brisbane Australia. well, mungkin ga lama lagi gw ga bisa menikmati ketenangan, kenikmatan seperti ini lagi karna kuliah gw akan kelar sebentaarr lagi.

hari selasa di sini cukup special di sini. well, ga ada libur sii, tapi banyak tempat yang bikin diskon hari selasa doank. misal kfc, coffee club, and domino pizza. kfc bikin 9 for $ 9,85. biasa harga ayamnya $2.65/biji. maka ga heran kalo antrian kfc selalu panjaaaaang bgt terutama di city. coffee club memberlakukan 50% untuk setiap productnya. jadi ga heran kalo ni cafe hari selasa penuh bgt. domino juga memotong harga pizzanya yang ga masuk akal itu jadi 50%. so buat mahasiswa yang dompetnya juga mahasiswa ini sangat menguntungkan. well, ga hanya mahasiswa si sbenernya, bule2 di sini mereka cukup hemat loh. ini terbukti dari stiap diskonan di coles cepet bgt abisnya dan kalo ada diskonan dimana gitu itu pasti rame bgt, bukan oleh asia tapi justru bule2nya. ini yang kadang di miss understanding oleh orang2 yang mendewakan western. mereka berfikir, karna bule gajinya 3 kali lipat lbh gede dari negara mereka, maka bulepun akan beli barang2 yang ga diskonan. well, itu salah. gaji gede, pajakpun makin gede, dan living cost + lifestyle costpun gede. tapi berbeda dengan orang cina mainland yang sangat ketat dengan mengatur pengeluaran. bule pinter dalam memilih mana yang harus murah mana yang ga. mereka kadang juga rela beli sesuatu yang mahal karna mereka tau kualitasnya long last.
so jangan cuman ikut2an dan ngerasa keren karna bisa sama dengan mereka karna sbenernya kita terlalu mengelu2kan mereka jadinya apapun yang di pake jadi wow, padahal mereka berlomba2 buat punya kebudayaan dan kekayaan alam kaya kita. ini terbukti buat belajar bahasa daerah aja ada jurusannya di US uni instead of indonesia uni. dan macam spore yang ga punya pulau2 kecil nan cantik, rela beli pasir dari indo untuk narik minat pengunjungnya sedang indo udah ada malah ga di ekspos buat pariwisata international ato dilestarikan..

my thought

heyhooo.
its 5 am in the morning and i'm having my breakfast alone. been 2 years like this. hoho
bit sad but i just tread this as "me time"?!
anyway, i wanna share my thought and i've been thinking about it since a couple days.
umm.. new semester just begun. many parties appear in my campus and spread many brochures that say "vote us".
it also has a stand that instead of say "vote us" they say "help us"!
i saw similar ones in city. Basically this community ask people to help them to make government allow marriage same gender. weird huh?  i mean if in Indonesia happen like this, i believe FPI will kill them directly. this society kinda weird i mean FPI. they said they are front defender of muslim but they make most of muslim afraid of them and i don't think god bless their action since i never found in Al-quran mentioned that we need to diminish something bad with violence?!

back to my topic. hahaha.. i easily get distraction.
i saw this community several times coz they frequently appear in public and they really try to engage with people who past their stand.
this action brought an idea on my mind why they can turn to like same gender? why it happen?
then i rethink again. hey, it happen before! not same gender but 2 people like each other but they can't together because society and religion. yup! it's relationship with different religion.
basically they are same, despite the satisfaction of sexuality that they have maybe different, i have no idea about it nor this is not my business and will not appear into my examination. so ignore it. lol
basically society or people against this relationship.
why our creator allow it's happen? what lesson he want us to learn from this cases?
this questions always appear and i don't know how to answer myself until yesterday i opened databases and i found data based on ages, lifestyles, income etc.
A-HA! i guess i found the answer of those questions.
we differentiate ourself into many classes and create rules on it.
god never classified us into it. he basically just created, given a feeling and done.
he probably gave us several instructions into what we called "holy book" and as i know there are 3 books that we called al-qur'an, gospel and another one is "taurat". i'm not sure what english name for it. or popular as Jewish's holy book.
again, we differentiate ourselves into different religions based on 3 different books.
so based on it, i conclude that these people who have deviation relationship are not absolutely in the wrong way. i mean it is not fully their mistake to have those feeling. it just society that judge and squeeze out them from society.
think about u falling in love to someone and turn into relationship. how's ur feeling and imagine how happy are u in that time? i know most of u (whoever read this) will have same answer.
so, i suggest us be generous. don't judge these people, just let them find their way. i don't ask to support them because it is not necessary but by not judging them i guess we help each others. Honestly i don't put my vote to any parties or community coz i don't think i want get involve to it and again, there is non of my business. i just curious, and try to find a logic answer that makes me feel relieve from curiosity. hahaha.. in indonesia it called kepo! i do kepo to anything that happen around me. anyway, it just my opinion and thought. what's yours?

xoxo :)

Life is like a game

Life is like a game

Have many obstacles.

At first maybe you can handle it but it becomes hard and harder.

To pass one level sometimes you don’t need a huge effort but sometimes you need to try many times. Once u passed it, u will get an extra energy to finish another level. However, sometimes this energy works, sometimes not; therefor, u need to try it again and again.

In this moment, some people stuck, get bored or even disappointed. They give up and decide to quit and won’t play it anymore. In consequence, the games still stuck in particular level. They are not going anywhere.

Conversely, some people keep trying, even though they exhausted, they don’t want to stop easily and when they about to give up, sometimes miracle happens. They pass that level and face final level or even finish the game.

You need to remember this: “The higher level you’ve got, the more effort you need to pass it,  so believe yourself and don't give up easily”.

janji ria

this story based on true story. mash ingat janji juno ga? iya film janji juno? intinya dia cuman mau anterin roll film dari satu studio ke studio lainnya, tapi diperjalanan banyaaak banget hambatannya? kirain itu kejadian hanya di film2 doank, tap ternyata itu bisa kejadian beneran di kehidupan nyata.
well, lebih kurang gitu deh yang gw alami hari ini. hari ni gw pulang awal, soalnya hari ni adalah kelas trahir gw untuk semester ini. temen se rumah minta tolong bawain seragam kerjanya. jadi awalnya doi udah izin ga masuk karna ada presentasi tapi si bosnya bilang kelar jam berapapun kudu dateng karna ga ada yang gantiin shiftnya dia. nah, doi dari pagi udah di kampus dan udah terlanjur ga bawa seragamnya. jadi doi mohon2 sama ai dengan imbalan bakal di bawain pulang ice cream favorit!
presentasinya kelar jam 7.45. gw udah di rumah dari jam 4. bsok adalah deadline gw buat research assignment. baru setengah jalan ngerjain temen gw sms katanya doi low battery dan dia kasih tau kelasnya dia dimana. gw lagi hot2nya ngerjain jadi mikir, ah jam 6 aja cabs, jadi setidaknya kelar ngetik  daripada nanti kelupaan apa yang mau diketik. brangkat dari rumah jam 6. seharusnya nyampe kampus 10-15 menit. tapi berhubung di rumah ga ada makanan, niatnya beli makanan dulu biar balik bisa langsung balik. ngidam banget sama fish n chips di dutton park. jadi mapnya kira2 gini. rumah gw - bus stop dan train station(letaknya sebelahan) -dutton park bus station- bus stop kampus - buildingnya temen gw.

fish n chip ini letaknya persis sebelah train station dutton park. kalo pake bus kudu jalan kira2 10 menitan. nah, awalnya mau pake train jadi abis itu jalan ke bus stop biar sekali jalan. nyampe train station trainnya baruuuu aja lewat. train selanjutnya dateng 21 menit kemudian. lama aja!
yaudah akhirnya mutusin buat naik bus. nunggu nih sekitar 5 menit bus yang lewat ga ada yg bisa digunakan, tulisan di screennya not in use kalo ga salah(lupa)! akhirnya ada bus yang ada tulisan angkanya arah kampus, gw udah lambai2kan tangan ga berhenti. kampreet! akhirnya 5 menit kemudian ada bus arah kampus yang berhenti. abis itu gw langsung pencet bel biar busnya berhenti di dutton park. tapi yang ada bel gw ga digubris dan malah berhenti di kampus. kesel bgt! soalnya kampus dan dutton park itu terpisahkan oleh sungai gede. lumayan bets kalo jalan. di sini struggling, ke building temen gw ato balik ke dutton park. kalo ke building temen gw pasti ga bs seenaknya keluar soalnya lagi presentasi dan ujung2nya kudu nunggu pas sesi pergantian persentasi baru bisa cabs. uumm.. akhirnya mutusin buat balik ke dutton park kebetulan ada bus yang udah ready berangkat. lari2 kecil ke bus tersebut pas udah mau dekat pintu, busnya berangkat! KESEL KEDUA! bus uq lakes kalo malam ngeselin dah! akhirnya naik bus lainnya yang ga lama setelah bus ngeselin brangkat doi dateng dan ready to go juga. brentilah di dutton park. jalan kaki nyampe di fish n chips shop! HOREEE!

a bit different from fish n chip di new zealand. di sini milih ikan seger dulu, ditimbang baru bayar dan baru di masak. jadi kita lihat ikan segar2 di displaynya trus di timbang di depan mata, tinggal pilih ukuran chips sama sausnya deh. kalo di new zealand mostly kita pilih ikan based on nama doank dan itu udah including chips. variasinya juga macem2 sampe bingung mau yang mana. oiya, back to topic, abis ditimbang + chips dkk hasilnya 12 dollar ++. ckckck.. priceyy euy ketimbang NZ. new zealand 8 dollar satu porsi buat berdua sangking gede mampus seporsinya. di NZ satu porsi ikannya bisa 3 ato 4 biji dan kentangnya segede finger orang dewasa. gede kan ya?! jadi worth it bgt harga segitu. lah ini di ausie mahal ajeh, ikannya cuman 2 biji ga gede2 banget harganya over 10 dollar. setelah nunggu kurang lebih 10 menitan, akhirnya ikannya jadi. keluar fish shop byuurr! ujan deress turun! mantep ye book! bungkusan fish n chipsnya itu cuman kertas. kaya kertas pembungkus kalo beli martabak. tapi ini versi agak gedean tapi bentuknya mirip kaya ngebungkus martabak cuman isinya ikan. jalan kaki saat ujan dan bawa kertas bungkusan makanan itu ribetnya minta ampun. soalnya harus ngelindungin bungkusan dari air ujan biar makanannya ga basah. jalan kaki lagi di bawah ujan sekitar 10 menitan untuk balik ke dutton park bus station. kali ni busnya nyampenya cepet jadi ga perlu nunggu lama lagi. nyampe kampus, buildingnya temen gw ini tuh agak jauh dari bus stop gw.

FYI, kampus gw gedenya 110 hectar. nah, bus stop gw di south, dan entah kenapa hampir semua kelas gw semester ini berada di north including kelasnya teman gw ini. nyampe kelasnya, dang! temen gw udah mulai presentasi. nunggulah doi ampe kelar, karna gw gatau tasnya dimane. lebih kurang presentasinya sekitar 25 menit. mau makan sambil nonton dosennya duduk dekat pintu keluar dan paling atas. jadi kelasnya itu kaya panggung. masuk langsung ketemu kursi penonton teratas. screen segede ruangan di depan mata dan meja lecturernya paling bawah. jadi mau ga mau duduk diem depan s lecturenya dan nontonin deh..ga bisa berkutik. jadi lebih kurang gw menghabiskan waktu untuk mengantarkan seragam teman gw dan balik lagi itu sekitar 1jam 30 menit.
seharusnya cuman 20 menitan gw udah bisa ke kampus dan return. hanya karna untuk dinner doank nih jadinya segitu lamanya.. :(

nowadays..

hell-0 2013. moga ini jadi tahun yang baik yaa buat karir dan pendidikan. amin
ngeblog dari accommodation yg baru. ga semewah dan sestrategis tempat sebelumnya si. but well, kamarnya agak lebih gede dan ga ada yang harus ditakutin si. i mean, no one will stolen my eggs or ice cream in the fridge or harus menggerutu setiap malam karna tetangga sebelah gw budek sampe harus dengerin musik yang bisa kedengaran seRT or takut dapur jadi kotor lagi karna si arab suka party tapi masaknya kariiii mulu tiap ari dan rasanya cuman minyak, ayam/beef, sama nasi/mie ga ada rasa kari2nya tapi ga pernah nyoba masak yang lain doski ato emank spesialisasinya itu doank kali ya.. au elap.
well, itu masa lalu. sekarang gw tinggal di rumah queenslander. rumahnya panggung jadi mau pagi,malam kapanpun lo jalan yaaa bakal brisik. kompornya pake gas ga pake listrik kaya tampat gw yg dulu dan ga ada AC! tapi homie, tempatnya lbh luas, selain musim panas tempat ini sangat adem bahkan musim ujan gw bisa menggigil karna dingin. satu rumah cuman terdiri dari 4 orang dan 3 kamar. pemiliknya couple. cwonya india yg udah australiasasi jadi bahasanya ga indiani dan cwenya british kelahiran australia. gw si indonesian dan temen gw yang cina tapi sama sekali tidak cinaisasi karna doski lbh prefer tinggal sama international people buat bisa bahasa inggris sehari2. banyak bgt cina dari mainland or taiwan milih buat tinggal dan kerja di chinatown selain murah mereka ga perlu cape2 bahasa inggris. kuliahpun mereka biasa milih berteman sama cina jadi sama sekali ga perlu bahasa inggris kecuali sama dosen. in other words : BUAT APA LO CAPEK2 KELUAR NEGERI!!

ngomong2 soal cina dari mainland and taiwan. bisa dibagi menjadi 2 group. group A adalah yg kaya di atas, keluar negeri cuman buat seneng2 tapi ga mau berkembang, pola pikir mereka adalah cina adalah populasi terbesar di dunia which is kemanapun dia pergi, dia ga perlu belajar bahasa lokal, cukup menemukan china town dan cina populasi itu cukup dan kalo kesasar, bahasa inggris mereka terbata2, i mean lo ga bakal nyangka mereka bisa kuliah di ausie karna speakingnya pasti ngepas 6 waktu IELTS dan rata2 ambil akuntansi dimana nulisnya sedikit banyakan itungan. group B adalah yang keluar negeri buat berkembang which is tetep punya teman cina tapi sebagian besar kegiatan dan kesehariannya adalah berbahasa inggris dan berinteraksi dengan orang2 lokal. gaya hidup mereka juga bertransformasi menjadi kehidupan lokal. cina ini bahasa inggrisnya outstanding, bener2 ga nyangka kalo mereka bahkan bukan kelahiran aussie sangking aksen dan dialek ausienya kental bgt.

sebelum pindah ke tempat yg baru sempat cari2 tapi rata2 agent. well, agent itu biasanya si abis lo tinggalin tempat lo bond biasanya ga balik 100%. pasti kurang tergantung kondisi rumah. even ga ada yg lo rusakpun pasti mereka kasihnya 80%. enakan berhubungan sama ownernya. ga pake kontrak bisa leave kapan aja dan bondnya aman. nemu tempat ini tuh ditawarin sama yang punya karna sering main ke sini buat ngerjain tugas. awalnya jadiin cadangan karna rumahnya ada anjing well, gw muslim kan, bingung donk ada anjing di rumahnya. trus konsultasi sama nyokap. as long as tu anjing ga masuk kamar dan gw bersih dari itu anjing ya gapapa kata nyokap. then gwpun fix buat pindah.

anjingnya nakal,lucu dan pinter. yang cwo ga terlalu suka sama ni anjing keliatan si kalo ga ada bininya anjingnya pasti dilarang masuk rumah. kalo udah di dalam rumah maunya nemenin orang. kalo yang cwe di rumah maka prioritasnya nemenin si cwe ini. tapi kalo ada orang masak sapapun bakal diikutin karna doi cinta semua makanan. apalagi makanan yg ga sengaja jatoh dari piring pas kita bawa dari dapur ke ruang makan or kamar. dengan sigap doi langsung hap! makan deh. pinternya, kalo ada orang baru dan makan di rumah, well, yg punya rumah misal di kamar mandi, or konsen masak, dan si tamu ini lg makan. si anjing guk2 di depan rumah. bikin si tamu ikutan ke depan karna penasaran ada apaan. meanwhile si tamu ngecek keadaan depan rumah, si anjing balik ke meja makan dan siap menyantap makanan si tamu. balik2 makanan abis. dan si anjing lagi asik ngunyah -___-"

anjing ini ngerasa dia adalah owner of this house karna majikannya adalah pemilik rumah ini. cara taunya adalah saat kita masuk rumah, dia dulu pasti yang masuk, dan saat dia di luar tapi seseorang di dalam, dia bakal nyoba buka pintu pake badannya karna dia ngerasa ga ada  orang yg boleh di dalam rumah kalo dia or majikannya ga di dalam rumah. well, gw udah tau itu semua. so kmaren doi keujanan. i mean, even di luar rumahpun doi ga keliling taman seperti anjing lainnya. dia malah duduk di tangga nyoba buka pintu or nunggu pintu di buka. gw denger si berkali2 dia coba buka cuman gw cuekin. hari itu ujan seharian tapi yang punya both of them let him outside eventhough ada gw dalam rumah. so i think i dont need to let him inside then. well, gw buka pintu belakang tp yang bagian dalam. yang luarnya gw biarin tertutup. cuman biar ada pertukaran udara karna gw mau masak. eh ternyata pintu luar ga tertutup rapat. masuklah tu anjing dengan kaki kotornya. dan lari2 sekitar ruang makan sangking senengnya bisa masuk. well, karna kotor bgt gw suruh doi keluar tapi dia cuman menatap gw dengan tatapan "no way,menurut el?". akhirnya gw bilang,"chest, lo bikin ruangan ini kotor dengan kaki lo. gw ga tanggung jawab kalo jeremy and alex pulang dan marahin lo yaa.. so it's ur choice". eeeh doi nunduk terus keluar rumah.HAHAHAHA!! anjing pinter. doi ngerti bahasa manusia.
jadilah seharian bisa makan dan ninggalin makanan even dipinggir meja karna ga ada yg bakal loncat buat ngambil.hehe
