late post

Hello again from Jakarta, today is September 17^th 2013. 2 weeks, on the October 1^st I’m going back to Lancaster again. Had a very mixed feelings nowadays, between happy, sad, excited, not ready, afraid, and many other feelings. Feels good to coming back to the second home, a cold rainy small village located in the north west of England where I have to check BBC Weather almost everyday for not to wearing a wrong jacket and outfit, lol. I’m excited to do my uni life as well, learning new things, but again, feel afraid at the same time especially my confidence in study is still low because of looking back at my score in foundation year. But well yeah I should not give up and going back. Will do my best; concentrate more to do my best. I did not aim for a satisfaction and high score. My aim is to enjoy all that I’ve got in the modules, and understand it well, score? Well even pass is good enough for me now. Score is not what I am aiming for, the knowledge, is indeed what I am aiming for.

I am also planning to read more, learn more, to grab as much as general knowledge I can grab, for the goodness of my own future.  I have also had a plan to looking for an internship for next year summer. Looking for a job after graduated without any working experience is not an easy thing to be done. And I do not want my 3 months time to be wasted.  

And, about my holiday, Lebaran holiday to Japan was great! I did not like Japan at all 4 moths ago, but now. I definitely in love with this country, the people that are so friendly even though they can not speak English, the infrastructure that are so modern and neat in the cities. 7 days in Japan was great indeed. Maybe I could make a post about Japan separately after this (will do!)

Next, my days in Jakarta? Well it was both good and bad. Lol. Had some trouble, but if we look positively, I learned a lot from all the problems. However, what is changed is, my perspective about Jakarta! I like Jakarta a lot few months ago. But now? I could say, no I don’t like this city anymore L the reason I’m staying here, is only because of my family, and remembering this city as a hometown. The real home. Everything has changed rapidly in a year. The people, the living culture, the habit. When I was in Lancaster last year I used to feel excited to be in Jakarta. Doing this and that, but now? No I don’t feel that excited and even when I’m going home, I think I’ll spend 80% of my time to stay at home. The traffic is so bad, the living cost that keeps increasing, the individualistic of the people. I don’t even mind if I’m not going back home this December. This morning I was thinking like, rather than going to Jakarta, having nothing really specifically to do, just hanging out, etc. I’d rather use my time to read books, entertain my self, trying to write, experiencing new recipes, and enjoying the cold Lancaster in December, lol.

Well maybe I miss home but it’s simply because of my family, mom and dad.

The conclusion is, I do not like Jakarta anymore, hahah..

And, yeah, that’s all for now though. My time is very limited now, listing up things to do, people I have to meet, food I want to eat, buying things I want to bring, choosing clothes to be brought, paying college fee, airplane ticket, send email to storage company, etc. Seems a lot, huh? Yes it is indeed; still have more things to do. Will be living the next 13 days fully, lol. Make sure nothing is being left. Then on the first day of Oct I’ll have my flight to Manchester, arrived on Wed morning, and here comes the big day! Have more and more things to be done on that day! You guys will not believe if I tell you what are the things I should do on a day (I’m serious lol) And, a new year in Lancaster! Like what I’ve said earlier, saying good bye to lovely and great people, but there are a lot of newcomers. Hope the people are great and we can continue the close relationship within PPI Lancaster. Welcoming a new year and chapter of life. Had a lot of lessons to be learned this month. Hope I can continue doing well. Finger crossed! And for everyone too. Have a great days ahead people!!!
