Study Aboard Experiences

I really wish I can be active in posting this blog again as before, but mostly I give up with my laziness. Lol. So today's post is a random pictures I took when I was in Guangzhou.

What's special of Guangzhou? Besides its food, the goods are so cheap here. Guangzhou is one of China industry city, u can find anything u want here. Moreover, there is Taobao (like tokopedia in Indonesia) which sells almost all things (fashion, food, accessories, shoes, bags, home decor, etc) based from Guangzhou. I feel live in heaven there. 

I'd never shopped on Indonesia's online shops before, coz I don't like to buying something without touch and see it by myself. But I had a new hobby in Guangzhou. Got stuck while doing assignments? Got bored of doing nothing? Craving for any cute yet cheap stuffs? One click on Taobao and u'll got surprised how quick the time passed! Ah, I miss it so muchh >.< Well, I'm not going to advertise Taobao here, actually. Hahaha.. So, what is the symbol of Guangzhou? Yea, Guangzhou tower!

Guangzhou Tower in the Night
The lamp is on every nights around 6pm until night around 12am, I guess. In some occasions, there's a light show performance here, which the lamp of the tower and some laser lights around it will playing the colors following the rhythm of the music. It plays about 15-30 minutes every nights around 7-8pm. Guangzhou tower is placed near by Zhujiang River (MRT line 3, Zhujiang Xincheng).

And the other symbol of this city is this goat sculpture in Yuexiu Gongyuan (line 2), which I don't know what special of it. But Starbucks use this goat as the symbol for Guangzhou tumblr.


The other good place in Guangzhou is Cathedral of Sacred Heart of Jesus which placed in Yuexiu Gongyuan area (but I prefer to stop in Haizhu Guangchang, line 6). I went there every week for the misa. There're a morning misa delivered in Chinese (around 9.30 if I'm not wrong, omg I forget all the schedule), and evening misa delivered in English (4pm, again, if I'm not wrong :p).

The other things I love of being live in Guangzhou are, it's okay to wearing sunglasses (beside of the fashion, I like to wearing sunglasses when the sun is so bright). Pardon for the acnes, T^T


The sport I do only when I'm in China. My first experience of playing bowling was when I was 15 y.o., I played in Jakarta for 2 times. Then, I've never played it again in Jakarta. Maybe coz it cost expensive in Jakarta. Hahahaa



And experiencing winter for the first time in my life!! omg, u don't know how excited I was to wearing the winter clothes: coat, shawl, boots, wofoooo!
My first winter coat in my fav color, too big though :(

Do you love the Vintage Flower Pattern of my sweater? and also the high boots <3>
My fav one is the ankle boots, of course  :D


My Winter and Summer Vacation (taken in several cities, will write about it later)

 Love the painting effect for the background. People, Light, Winter, 唉~

Kita bagaikan tubuh dan bayang
Kau selalu disampingku
Namun menjauh saat kudekati
Sering kuingin melepasmu
Namun kita terlalu melekat

Biarkanku terbang menembus matahari
Membakar habis semua hingga tak bersisa
Membiarkan semuanya menjadi kering
Memasuki musim kemarau panjang
Hingga tak ada lagi perih saat mengenangmu

Mampukanku menyambut desiran angin musim semi
Berbisik dengan daun yang melambai
Bernyanyi dengan embun pagi dan suara kumbang
Hidup kembali dan mengulang mencintai sepenuh hati

Bila boleh kuulang waktu
Kuingin semua tak pernah ada.
Pernah kukatakan nikmati semua masa.
Pernah ada tawa olehmu.
Namun sulit kulakukan.
Pasir terus menembus ruang sempit.
Habis tak bersisa sekarang.
Luka sebelum sempat bahagia.
Takdir memaksaku bergerak sendiri.
Terjatuh dan berdiri sendiri.
Menyembuhkan sendiri luka.
Mungkin tidak kau sadari semua.
Namun aku tidak sekuat yang terpancar.
Ia yang menciptakan topeng ini.

"Kuinginkan cerita cinta terindah
bagaikan dalam dongeng.

Jangan pernah menyanjung cinta.
Bila tak mengerti maknanya cinta.
Satu terindah dalam dirimu
Kini ada di jiwaku."

Nggak terasa uda masuk tahun 2015 aja, dan sekarang bahkan uda hari ke-18 dari tahun yang baru ini. Oh time, u really have no heart deh.. Cepet banget berlalunya. :(

Many things happened during the time I didn't write. Many happiness I haven't written down, many sadness I didn't share (coz I wondering to share it or leave it by myself). But today I wanna share some.. Happiness first.

1) I'm happy I can past this study aboard life smoothly so far, coz it was so damn hard for me at the first for leaving all people and stuffs in Jakarta. I was soaking for many times on a day by no reason for almost 3 months (?), simply because I feel sad and I wanna cry. Hahahha sounds stupid ya, but I'm really not that tough. I feel so hard to past these by myself. For being all alone in a strange place, speak an alien language, study and get a dozen of thesis to do, get a reality that almost all of my classmates are expert in Chinese and I need to compete with them for the next term scholarship, manage my own money and provide all the foods, drinks, soaps, shampoo, etc., etc. ALL.BY.MYSELF. Some people might think it's not a big deal, and call it as freedom. I did, but I still prefer to be all prepared and surrounded by people I love. But time flies, finally I used to be here, aleluyaa..

2) I feel so happy to have a chance to took a visit to my hometown for a week at November. I was attending my undergraduate graduation ceremony. So happy for having a really great friends around me, and feel so glad to 7see their proud face for me. I can't describe the feeling when my lecture text me, "Sorry for not being there, but I'm watching you *send some pictures of me*. So proud of you :)" (She was watching online on Binus TV), and get the confession from my close friends, how they proud of me :). Have I ever mentioned that I never imagined for being a summa cumlaude? But I finally did it. And to be honest, I don't know it would make my friends feel proud of me too (I thought only my family will do, hahah). But I'm sure Rico would. If he could to attend and congrats it to me..it would be great..

3) Happy to get three achievements already so far during this master degree program.

4) Feel amazed that finally I do all the cleaning stuffs: cleaning my bedroom and bathroom all-by-myself-directly-by-my-two-hands. Astajimmm.. Sounds so exaggerated yea? But my brother will know how hard it for me. I really really feel yucky to contacting with 1 centimeter thick of dust, brushing the bathroom floor and also the closet. *Well, by typing this is also make my hairs all stand*

5) Feel blessed and amazed for having a chance to working as receptionist in a cafe here. Well, actually the job was almost same with the waitress, but has a bit differences. Maybe Indonesian counted it as waitress, but people here prefer to call it as receptionist.

And some sadness... It's 391 days already he leave us. No news, no sign. All of my chats never be read by him. I can't share my happiness, silliness, galauness to him anymore. The thought annoyed me right now will left for me to solve by myself. Well, I consult with my other bestfriend, but I want to hear his opinion though :(. How've been there bro?

Last but not least, here is today's quote:
"Love.. come for no reason. is something you can’t control. When you fall in love, you just fall. Love will let you to sacrificed all things. Things u like, your time, and even your own feeling. is the only beautiful yet amazing thing remains in this mortal world.

Never say something sweet to a woman if u don't really mean it. The words u say past by will eternally carved in women's heart. If you really love a girl, u won't do something to sorry her.. "
