Dekade

Jadi udah ngapain aja selama 1 dekade ini? 

source: colorclaim.tumblr.com
  1. Baru lulus dari UI dan dapat kerja sebelum wisuda. Pengalaman jadi kuli di Jakarta dengan segala drama macet dan penuhnya kereta. 
  2. Resign dari kantor pertama (Jakarta sungguh kejam) dan dapat kerjaan baru di Depok. Lebih dekat ke rumah dan suka sama kerjaan karena berhubungan dengan buku. 
  3. Resign (lagi) karena rencana akan lanjut kuliah dan fokus nulis novel. Berhasil nulis 2 naskah novel bahkan salah satunya menang juara 1 lomba. 
  4. Lanjut kuliah ke ITB. Kelas baru, temen baru, dan semua seru-seru. Novel terbit 2 biji sekaligus (Seven Days dan CoupL(ov)e) bahkan 2 novel sebelumnya (Jadian 6 Bulan dan Jalan Menuju Cinta-Mu) diterbitkan ulang. Umroh sama keluarga, jadi perjalanan keluarga paling jauh dan komplit ikut semua. Oiya, putus sama pacar. Ya ampun baru inget lagi, udah lama juga ya. 
  5. Nulis novel lagi. Nulis tesis juga. Nulis aja pokoknya. 
  6. Terbit novel (Gloomy Gift) dan terbit tesis (lupa judulnya). Hahaha. Lulus kuliah dan mulai daftar-daftar kuliah lagi ke luar negeri. Ini kenapa saya hobi belajar? Oiya mulai magang di Tenda Destarata, gajinya 1 juta. Kalo dipikir-pikir lulusan S2 gaji 1 juta kok saya mau aja. Hahaha.
  7. Berangkat ke Australia dengan Work & Holiday Visa. Negara baru, teman baru, lingkungan baru. Kerja part-time dan ikut kelas malam. I learn how to live life to the fullest. 
  8. Merapal mantra: "I wish you never happy forever in your life."
  9. Pull myself together. Fokus sama keluarga, sahabat, dan Tenda Destarata. Kali ini minta gaji agak gede. Hahaha. Tentunya tanggung jawab juga lebih gede. Perjalanan trans-Siberia lanjut ke Eropa yang amazing. Lalu persiapan lanjut kuliah (tuh kan, lagi). LOL. 
  10. Banyak belajar buat tes ujian masuk kuliah. Banyak jalan-jalan bareng keluarga dan teman. Banyak hal ribet urusan birokrasi visa. Keterima kuliah di Praha yang diimpikan sejak lama. Banyak waktu di perpus buat belajar karena ternyata kuliahnya susah. LOL. Banyak ngirim CV untuk cari kerja. Harap maklum, bukan anak beasiswa jadi butuh banyak biaya. Akhirnya keterima di salah satu perusahaan Amerika cabang Eropa. Banyak nangis juga karena kucing kesayangan pergi untuk selamanya. 

Wah, ternyata hidup saya lumayan seru ya. Secara angka; 3 novel, 4 kampus, 1 skripsi, 1 tesis, 6 kantor, 1 pacar (beneran), dan banyak negara (males ngitung). Kalau pas dijalani sih banyak cengengnya. Ngga apa-apa lah, namanya juga wanita. Kalau lagi cengeng drama, dikasih eskrim juga nanti ketawa.

2022: Slightly Romantic Comedy

Image
Here come the end of year so let me write and bit contemplate. I started this year by defending my diploma thesis and got excellent result (Yeay!). I was so happy no more study and just enjoying life by just work, gym, and relax. My brother came to stay in Prague for about a month and we travelled around Czech Rep. It was really refreshing to have my family here after I was trapped because of Covid-19 and can't see them.  Then, I went home on Spring for two months. Finally can celebrate Ramadan & Eid Al-Fitr with whole family in Indonesia. We also travelled to some islands and I did many adventure activities that I can't do in Prague (snorkeling, surfing, swimming in the sea, islands hopping, sailing, etc). I visited many restaurants and ate all my favourite foods and snacks in my hometown. So so happy!  While celebrating my freedom in my country after finishing my master degree, my Mom asked my promise that I will start date again after I finished school. Ugh! I mean, yeah

A Day at The Same Time Zone

Image
I was waiting for you that night at the airport. Sat on the bench, read an ebook, and tried to stay calm. I was thinking what should I say when you arrived. Should I hug you? Or even kiss you? Oh, I still remember you told me a story about a girl who pick you up at the airport and she brought you gift and cake. And what I brought for you that night? Gin and vodka.  Then, you're arrived. It's so awkward, isn't it? Many years ago we met and you said you want to hug me but I said no. But that night... "How's your flight? How long was it?" You asked. "Three and half hours. How's your flight? Tired?"   "I'm okay. Let's grab a taxi. It's already late night." I know you're tired. Almost 24 hours flight, many activities, hopped to many cities. Then you're here. We're here, finally.  And in the morning when I woke up, I smiled because I saw you lied by my side. That day when we're at the same time zone. My heart almos

Ini adalah beberapa foto saat acara makan-makan kue untuk Birthday Party di Lab. Fisika Nuklir Partikel. Menjadi Putri di hari ulang tahun, satu-satunya wanita, perawan di sarang penyamun, paling cantik, paling cerewet, paling bawel, tapi tentu paling dirindukan... Hahaha... Makasih untuk semua para 'penyamun' Teori yang udah dateng. Juga Bapak Dosen yang mau ikutan foto-foto. Makasih karena sudah selalu membuat hari-hariku menjadi ceria. Love you all....!!
