Papa's Day

Today is my father's birthday. May Allah bless my beloved dad and shower him with happiness and good health. I wish I were in Jakarta so that we can celebrate it together. I'll see him tomorrow.

Misunderstanding

I learned that people have their own way of thinking that are different with mine. I shouldn't have thought that people have the same way of thinking with mine. Misunderstanding sometimes occurred. I apologized for that. T_T

Unity?

I had never been in another country except Japan until I visited Singapore. Having a short stay here makes me learn new things: Singapore is amazing in way that the diverse Singaporean live together peacefully. People live in harmony while respecting each other in multiracial society. I wish people in my country can also tolerate differences cause Indonesia is based on 'unity in diversity' as well.

Arrival?

How to pronounce 'arrival' correctly? I guess it's pronounced as əˈraɪvl. :)

Singapore!!

Alhamdulillah, I safely arrived at Changi Airport, Singapore. Still waiting two friends. 

We are going to explore Singapore in these 5 days! I am so excited!

End of First Year

I finished this semester with all assignments done. It's unbelievable I already finished half of my master's course. Hope everything is fine. I am coming back home soon.

Michael Bublé - Haven't Met You Yet

Dunno why I kinda posting this song again..perhaps it's because I haven't met him yet?

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh, you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get
Yeah, I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh, promise you, kid
To give so much more than I get

I said love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
(I just haven't met you yet)
Love, love, love, love
Love, love
I just haven't met you yet

Reunion and Farewell

Uhm, where should I start? As I told you, I met Komatsu-sensei on Tuesday. I felt bad, I was late cause I was lost, disoriented again! It's been 5 years since I graduated from Tokyo JLC, so we talked a lot and updated the latest situation. It's nice to hear about some sensei; I really missed them. Komatsu-sensei took me to an exclusive restaurant, we had a dinner with Seafood course there. The food was very tasty. The restaurant really served good dinner.

After the dinner, instead of going home, I decided to stay in the center of the city since I'd have part time job on the next day. The morning came, I went to the office for having my last day of working. It was sad cause I love the working environment and people there! I will go back for holidays to Indonesia next week more than a month so I decided to quit. I got some surprises and nice presents from the office. I was greatly touched by their kindness. I almost cried!

On the way home, I stopped at Umeda to have dinner with one of co-worker. I can't believe that was my last day working. We talked and shared many things while eating Okonomiyaki. I know that I'll be missing the office and the people! I have no other choice, after going back to Japan I should do the research and job hunting more seriously so it's getting hard to have a plenty time to work.

Life is about meeting and parting. We find sadness and pain in parting, but then we'll find happiness in reunion. As one Japanese song says, "Sayonara wa kanashii kotoba janai." which means goodbye is not a sad word, so I won't be sad again since I believe we'll meet again one day. I won't say 'goodbye', I will say 'see you again' instead.

4 Deadlines Beres!

Lega, 4 deadlines hari ini akhirnya beres juga. Sekarang istirahat sejenak, abis Maghrib berangkat ke Umeda ketemu Komatsu-sensei.
