Actually I’m not a kind of person who celebrates new year, make some difference or resolution every year, making a new year as a new milestone, no I’m not. But, I think I could cherish some great moments from 2011 . Let’s see :
- on 2011 I traveled back to my childhood city, Banda Aceh. Meeting old friends of mine and having a nostalgic childhood reminiscing moments.
- on 2011 I continued to have a regular exercise which is postponed for almost a year. Badminton and tennis really made my body cycle back to its normal phase.
- on 2011 me and my family (minus my sister) had the opportunity from Allah to go to Baitullah. Alhamdulillah.. my greatest gratitude only sent to Allah the most Gracious, most Compassionate.
- on 2011 I lost 7 kilos of my weight. Yayy! -but now i think i just gain another kilos. what a sigh -_-
- on 2011 I have the what-so-called feeling that makes my feeling turns upside down every minutes. Yeah I know it sounds cheesy, but FYI I haven’t had a ‘prospective kecengan’ since.. college maybe. I don’t know if it’s like a second puberty (am I that old??) or just another normal womanly feeling. Even though he doesn’t turned out to be ‘with me now’ but, I enjoyed his presence in my life as a motivation of the day :D
- on 2011 I start to open myself to some friends about my real feelings, especially about what I feel to certain someone. Back then I choose to be a very introvert person, I never shared my personal feelings to other, not even family. because I think it makes me feel weak and vulnerable. But the truth is now, sharing with people you care and you can trust, is relieving. At that point I realize that I don’t want to be alone in my entire life. Amin
- on 2011 I traveled with my friends Uva, Ayu, Yudhi, Yana, Enji to Seoul. The trip was so great we had so much fun there, everything goes well as we expected. But unfortunately my partner in crime Pipit couldn’t go with us because she’s already gone to Leuven to continue her study. -I’m proud of Pipit actually, she always succeed in career and study. Atta girl!-
- on 2011 I got a half shocking news from my Boss. I asked to continue the internship program to Baltimore, USA for 1,5 years. And I excitedly say yes!
- on 2011 I traveled to Singapore with my studio’s teammates. Pak Doddy, Pak Farid, Pak Dodi, Pak Ede, Yudhi, Ikhsan, Lingga, Tie. My Boss said it can be our last trip before I go to Baltimore. I’m kinda miss you guys!
- on 2011 after all the procedural stages and paper works I need to go through, I was finally leaving my comfort zone and depart to Baltimore on December 14th. Leaving my family, friends, certain someone, great city, comfort bedroom, everything I love and I’m used to. It was sad and I was a little bit anxious to go to place I’ve never been before, but I do believe that Allah has so much good plans for me in a different place in a different form that I couldn’t expect. I believe that Allah always protect me. Perhaps all I need to do is showing my gratitude and make the most of it. :)
“Seandainya kalian menghitung nikmat Allah, tentu kalian tidak akan mampu” (An-Nahl: 18)
“Dan (ingatlah juga), tatkala Tuhanmu memaklumkan; “Sesungguhnya jika kamu bersyukur, pasti Kami akan menambah (nikmat) kepadamu, dan jika kamu mengingkari (nikmat-Ku), maka sesungguhnya azab-Ku sangat pedih.” (Ibrahim: 7)
“maka nikmat Tuhan manakah yang kamu dustakan”
