Mengalahkan Rasa Takut akan Tenggelam

Makanan setelah renang di KOOD Sanur (serba vegan) Dari dulu takut banget sama air dengan volume yang besar. Mungkin di kehidupan gw sebelumnya gw pernah tenggelem kali ya. Makanya nggak pernah bisa renang. Karena ya takut tenggelam. Bahkan sekedar kecipak kecipuk aja takut. Sampai pindah ke Bali. Pindah ke Bali nggak berekspektasi setinggi itu sih. Ternyata, jadi lebih sering main air di pantai. Nggak renang, cuma berendam aja. Lama-lama jadi kebiasaan dan udah mulai terbiasa dengan air. Ternyata seru juga yaa. Kemudian dilatih suami gw buat berani snorkeling. Iya takut awalnya, nggak percaya meskipun dia bilang nggak akan tenggelam karena pake fin. Hmm masaaaa~~ Ya tetep pake pelampung sih. Pertama kali nyemplung, tentu saja heboh takut tenggelam padahal udah pake pelampung, pake fin, mana dipegangin juga. Tapi heboh aja, takut tenggelem. Ada 3 spot waktu itu, gw cuma nyemplung satu spot aja belum juga 15 menit udah naik kapal. Beberapa kali snorkeling akhirnya baru berani lepas pela

Biggest achievement

One of my friend in whatsapp group (frontsummer group) want to apply for a job. She have to answer a question about achievement.

“Please describe one of your biggest achievement and how does it shapes you?”

She shared it with us and got some responds from us.

One of my friend who studying in Liverpool now said that her biggest achievement was graduated on time (4 years in under graduated program). She told the LPDP interviewers like that. Maybe because of this she passed the interview and studying in England now.

Then I said, my biggest achievement now is my mum bless us to go further in this relationship *which is mean she let us to make a further plan. She wasn’t let us before. But since we insist and try to convince her that we both serious sooo something changed and she let us now*. This is one of my biggest achievement.

Another friend said, “My best achievement is working in Jakarta”. He is working in Surabaya anyway. Then I said, “Hey.. that is your dream, you never work in Jakarta. It still your dream to work there, since your girl stay there”. Seems there was misconception about dream and achievement for him because he is so eager to work in Jakarta so he can date his girl everyday haha

While my friend still confuse thinking about what was her biggest achievement. I told her, biggest achievement is always depend on your heart. You may think that my achievement isn’t great at all, but for me it is. Biggest doesn’t always mean people see what you achieve like maybe you could be a president for Indonesia or become a wife of Great Britain Prince or another thing but biggest achievement in your life, that’s only you who know it. Because you feel it.

Oh yeah, another biggest achievement of mine is : knowing my students said “Ah… Okay I understand now what does it mean” after explain them, that also be the biggest of mine. Could share them my knowledge, and make them get what I mean.

So never compare your biggest achievement with another people achievement. Biggest for you doesn’t mean biggest for others, and vice versa.

Have a good weekend with beloved ones :)

Book : Semakin Dalam Di Jejak Langkah

  Buku ketiga dari Buru Tetralogi ini lebih berat dari Bumi Manusia dan Anak Semua Bangsa . Disini banyak disinggung tentang Multatuli yang mengungkap "kotornya" birokrasi. Kotor disini tentu saja soal korupsi. Semakin dalam membaca ternyata semakin paham kalo kemungkinan besar korupsi ini "warisan budaya" kolonial. Buku ini pun mengatakan bahwa kolonial berhutang banyak gulden kepada Hindia Belanda atas semua hitungan 'meleset'nya penerimaan pajak dan penyalurannya. Siapa yang nggak mau untung banyak? Ya kolonial menang banyak. Bahkan kalau mau benar-benar dihitung, bisa jadi mereka kalah. Tapi nggak mungkin kan diusut karena kolonial tau kalau mereka bakal ketauan salah dan memungkiri itu. Jadi yaaa, lenyap begitu saja. Disini Minke kawin setelah ditinggal Annelies yang Indo dia kawin dengan yang orang tionghoa. Lagi-lagi pula dia ditinggalkan karena istrinya sakit (kemudian kawin lagi dengan Prinses yang ntah darimana tapi yang jelas dia berpendid

Traveling During Pandemic

CGK to DPS I am one of the people who travel (relatively a lot) during a pandemic. Unfortunately, me being in a long-distance marriage, need mental and physical support once in a while.  In the beginning, we met after 8 months of the pandemic and then 3 or 4 months, then every 2 months. I went wild the first 8 months of the pandemic. Everything felt harder. I know many people feel the same, I am not the only one. We're just coping with the best we can do.  The island I call home 💙 It was so stressful the first time traveling during the pandemic. Like I said here , it's not really worth the effort if you're traveling "for fun". PCR price was crazy, every time we have to calculate the time, make it double as well as the price. Because we buy the time with money. I usually book a ticket at least 2-4 weeks before my travel, then went to the airport 2 hours before my flying time, everything felt so efficient but not during the pandemic. I booked my ticket a week befor

[Piknik] Prambanan lagi

Salah satu pesona Jawa Tengah adalah Candi Prambanan. Saya sudah 3 kali berkunjung ke situs warisan dunia ini. Candi yang terletak di perbatasan Jawa Tengah dan jogja ini selalu menimbulkan kesan mistis bagi saya. Terletak tak jauh dari jalan raya, sehingga mengunjunginya pun sangat mudah. Berbeda dengan Candi Borobudur yang letaknya sangat jauh dari jalan raya besar.  Ok, menurut saya ada 3 cara menuju candi ini. Menggunakan bus transjogja, taksi, dan kendaraan pribadi. Bagi yang menggunakan transjogja, saya pernah menggunakannya berangkat dari daerah kampus UNY, daerah Depok Sleman. 1 kali transit, 2 kali berganti bus. Dengan harga transjogja yang kala itu, 2014, seharga 3500 rupiah. Tapi sampai saat ini masih sama harganya, menurut info dari teman. Lokasi shelter bis berada agak jauh dari pintu masuk lokasi candi, mungkin kira-kira 500meter sampai 1kilometer. Kalau jalan, menghabiskan waktu sekitar 15-20menit. Bisa juga naik becak untuk opsi yang lain. Lagi-lagi, jangan lupa men
