It's Always Good to Be Home

The second midterm examination had just finished and I have 1 week for holiday, right before final exam of the first semester...and it was time to go to Bogor, because my parents asked me to visit if i had some spare time, so i can't refuse hehe

And it's such a luck that my parents got me quite cheap tickets during this high season (because it's almost Christmast and also a looong holiday, students finished their first semester in school already).
So I went to Juanda Airport, had flight to Jakarta from there. Usually I took flight from Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport directly to Soekarno Hatta Airport, but in order to get cheaper flights, and I was so curious about Juanda Airport too, I decided to took flight from Juanda Airport. 

Friday evening, the travel picked me up at 16.00, then picked my friend up before going to the airport. We choosed the same travel agency so we thought we could have some conversations there but, the fact : I sat in the back and he sat in the front, and the middle seat of Innova car separated us so we couldn't have any conversation during the trip -_- . Sooo our journey from Malang to Juanda International Airport took 3 hours, with traffic jam everywhere, crowd, trucks, bus everywhere, and so on, bcos I thought Malang-Surabaya were just like Bogor-Jakarta, but ACTUALLY it's more likely that Malang-Surabaya = Bogor-Bandung , and Bogor-Jakarta = Sidoarjo-Surabaya, and it was very exhausting.

Arrived at Juanda, it was 20.00, i thought. My friend and I should took different gate. It was likely we won't meet again after this, we had our farewell in the front, then we went into different gate. After that I checked in, put my luggage, and after everything had already done I took a stroll from the edge of Juanda Airport into another edge of Juanda Airport. IMHO, this airport is bigger than any other airport in the capital city of Indonesia (of course, I haven't been to the new Lombok International Airport and Kuala Namu International Airport, Medan). The airport looks quite elegant, it resembles some parts of Soekarno Hatta International airport, though


Then what?? My flight got delayed for about 1 hour, but it was just okay because I didn't rush, and I had a good time in the airport though, means that I had time to read some materials for exam hehee. While waiting, I also texted my friend to have an appointment in the school, I mean, SMAN 1 Bogor in the next morning at 09.00, told him that I wanted to have a Sekolah-Warteg-Tempat Les tour again just like what I did before I went to Malang hehe.

Soo, after 1 hour and 15 minutes flight I arrived at Soekarno Hatta Airport, it was 00.00 something. After I got off the plane I needed to take the bus again to get into the right gate..idk it was already dark. Then I quickly picked my luggage, went to the exit gate and finally met my father :) . Then we got into the car and my mother, my brother were sleeping there. So here we go, finally, Soekarno Hatta-Grogol-Taman Mini-Cibubur-Cibinong-Bogor-Home ! The route was quite nostalgic,eh no, everything was so nostalgic hahaha. It was also drizzling outside, it's truly Bogor lah!

Finally I'm home, and yeah, It's always good to be home... You've got to feel it, only if you had been away for a while from home. 

Then I finally had my sekolah-warteg-tempat les tour, asked my friend about how is everyone doing out there, hmm so many things I need to catch up anyway.

The next day was family time, of course, house is the best place for it :D

The day after the next day I went to Sentul by bicycle. Asked my another friend to join but he can't, so I went there by myself, but it was ok bcos I really miss bicycling, though...

Then on my last day in Bogor, of course, I wouldn't miss a visit to...Botani Square ! Met some high school friends there hehe

Sooo it's time to go to Malang. Had really a good time in Bogor. Then I just realized, I think there are some parts of my life that are missing since I leave Bogor, I mean, I just can't do some particular activities here, like bicycling, cooking, family time, etc. It's not like I'm not having a good time here but sometimes I just feel so "empty".

MaybeI should live my life more, here, from now on. Time will heal, I'm suree!
H-1 Final Exam
Wish me luck :)

Self Training

Hello blogger ! It has been a while since I wrote my last entry about my last day in Bogor, about my curiousity of my new environment, and some hopes maybe, and now I almost finish the first semester of my study in med-school, out of 7 semesters of pre clinical phase. Time really flies so fast, but it is also gonna be a looooong loong journey :D

Since the orientation (I mean, OSPEK, or Krida Mahasiswa, we call it) is over, like 4 weeks ago, I feel like...hmm...haven't been too much involved in college's activities. Kuliah pulang kuliah pulang (Kupu-Kupu), they call it .... Haha, I don't know why, but I have been spending my day mostly in the class because the lecture usually starts at 8 AM and finish at 4 PM, sometimes I have to attend lecture from 7 AM until 5.30 PM (10 hours lecture, including 2 hours break), something I had never done in school, and also I still don't know what to join or where I should be involved here..So I really hope to find other business which will allow me to learn more, and get some unforgettable experiences.

So, how's life? Hmm...It's just fine, it's not really flat actually, because there are so many new things I encountered here. Since there are not many things to do except college's stuffs, I just get some ideas how to make everything doesn't seem flat & boring. Here are my ideas

1. I will try not to borrow stationaries from my friends, except if they offer it to me 
2. I will try not to ask for assistance, even the slightest one, to do my work (except for group work)
3. I will try not to be late, even for seconds, even for the most unnecessary meeting/appointment, even if I knew it's gonna be late
4. I will try not to fake my presence in the lecture, ever 
5. I will try to write blog entries in English more often

and there are so many "I will try"-s that I wanna do
fun, isn't it?
haha


Ok it might seem too much but I hope I could be more discipline and well-organized after this. And of course, I'm not gonna apply those "I will try"-s under every condition. It's not gonna be how I will live my life from now on, it's just gonna be my way to cure boredom, to fill some emptiness I feel after I move to this city *Hmm* , and also to train myself.

So, that's all maybe I can write now. 6 days left before the second mid exam, and for about 3 weeks remaining until 1st semester last examination. I really want to do my best, ikhtiar & tawakal, wish me luck anyway :) .

There are also some "Jurnal" that I would like to write later, it's about "Malang, in My View" and everything about my first semester in the college, hoping that my writings will give benefits to the reader too, hhe.
So see you next time.
