Hello readers!
Belated Happy New Year and welcome to 2019! This post will be dedicated for a summary of my 2018 year. Many things happened of course in a year. Elating, amusing, upsetting and so on. Let's see what I can summarise!
Around January 2018, I travelled to Malaysia and I saw many improvements in the neighbouring country if I compare it to my country. I got many chances to taste the delicacy of Malaysian food and got a surprising experience. I was visiting a night hawker street and an uncle said I spoke like a very fine native English with a Chinese face. It was very both amusing and entertaining for me, it was a very nice compliment. I also found a good song during my visit, some people open the song on their home, I pay attention to some housings area and the neighbourhood enjoyed Wang Lee Hom song! 😆 If you want to try to listen to the song here is the link. 王力宏 leehom Wang《再見英雄》 (I still listen on it sometimes, the song has deep lyric by the way).
Besides visiting Malaysia, in January I also got my first surgery on my life. I suffered from a long lasted migraine, backache and itchy eardrums on 2017. After several medical checks up, I suffered impacted tooth. I need a big surgery because the root of my tooth has impacted my blood vessel. It was not a nice experience indeed, it was a big momentum on my life, I feel the hospital is so lonely, sad and it is close to death. I become so melancholic in the hospital. But gratefully, I am healthy and I can do my activities very well until today, it's a big thanks to my doctor, he is very wise and experienced. My parents also support me well, I feel so happy with my surroundings.
Around April, it was my first time I played and enjoyed a war game. The name of the game is Rage of Kings, well it changes to several different names with different version too. People who play this game are various, from youngsters, teens, old man, very old man, old lady and so on from around the world. People here are very dramatic, full of politics, and very sensitive. like in a day they can be friends and on the same day, they fight each other. Well, it's a war game after all, LOL. The good thing is that no matter how bad it sounds, there are also good and wise people. At first, I play it for fun, but I get a nice alliance. I like to pay attention to the people honestly. It was fun. Yes, it was! It's past tense because my alliance is somehow... how to say......... broken?! 😅😅😅😅😅 Well, it's a game I know. It's for fun, I kinda have to enjoy it I guess. Well, I miss the old ambiance, but nothing is mortal, so moving on is the best options I believe.
On 1st of June, I visited juvenile prison in Sukamiskin district. I never get the chance to visit a prison in my life, so this is my first experience. I love kids, they are bright, beautiful and smart. But some situation does not support kids to be so. Some turn to be juvenile, they do crimes like stealing, raping, bullying and so on. Of course, these kids should not be judged for his/her entire life, they must be restored so they get the chance to get back to the society and here the juvenile prison accommodate it. This place is very beautiful, it is like expensive exclusive dormitories and schools. Juveniles here are very polite and educated. they are well maintained and they do many positive activities like soccer, having a pet, planting and boy/girl scout organization. they also taught by a very good English teacher, Mexican soccer coach, and wise religion teachers. This is a very precious experience of my life! I hope these kids can get back to society and become good people for the nation and worldwide!
On the month of June, I also got back to work again with United Nations ILO. It was fun, my mentor (also my dear lecturer) led me to a very nice experience! I am happy to be with her project, it was awesome, we traveled a lot from one place to other places, meeting awesome people in Ministry, court, labor union and many more. We also got the chance to visit Semarang City for meeting and a short travel trip.
In July, I started a new sport for a better lifestyle. I do yoga in the gym every Monday and Thursday. I also do acro-yoga. I think yoga suits my body, it makes my soul feels better and realizing sore and stiff back. Some movements are easy to be practiced at home. I still maintain the sport until today. I hope it can help with my metabolism and balance my bad lifestyle as Nocturnal.
Starting from July, I also temporarily stopped using my Instagram. I think Instagram is very toxic social media. Although sometimes the information is good provided and useful, some users are not smart enough to keep their privacy and give too much privacy. I feel my life is thrice better without it, I feel more productive and I don't have to be so nosy of others' people lives. I am the captain of my life so I do what I want and I think best, not based on comments and people likes. I also don't have to glue on my phone, it felt so sick to be like that. I will make a comeback someday, but with less detail and not so soon.
Around August, my social media was being hacked. It was a not a nice experience honestly. A person from the train company got a leaked number of my phone and passcode. gladly I did manage to secure my accounts. It is highly recommended to change password routinely. I should make it as a habit from now on.
On September-November, I didn't do many activities, I focused on my study, my thesis proposal too, working as well as maintaining my body with Yoga. I had a bad eating composition during these three months. I used boost force (Echinacea Purpurea herb and Elderberry dry extract) since December until today to keep me awake and do my activity normally. I also increased my vitamin C intake. My study got very difficult lately, some come from unfairness system and during my split focus to work and study. Gladly I managed to finish it all, it was tiring and time-consuming.
On December, I am satisfied with a good movie titled Natsume Yuujinchou Utsusemi ni Musubu Movie. It is a very good movie, very heartwarming and touchy. It taught me how to be grateful for my life and life does not come twice so we should make precious memories. Well, I won't make a spoiler of the story here, hehehee~ If you are curious about it, try to watch it. It's a beautiful one.
On the same month, I also met my ex after several years we didn't meet in real life. I think to re-communicate with the ex is something which is a very wise thing I can learn from my life. I believe it takes lots of courage to meet somebody who used to be close to you and we make mistakes together (or perhaps in some cases it is one-sided). Life is wide and big, in my opinion, it is not nice to hate somebody for a long time and I am not such a person. I believe both of us have some kind of afraid of anxiety that probably each of us still resent on each other for a long time. I didn't let negative feelings influence my life too much and I believe hatred is very toxic and bad, it is like a nasty scar which never been healed, I am not into on it honestly. I think it is a good idea that I take the chance to re-communicate again respectfully, I want to respect my ex for his courage to talk and to communicate to me as well. We had some casual talk, and since he is older than me, he shared some of his good experience in life, we also talk about many things regarding future life and I hope he does the best of his life.
That is for 2018, overall it is a pleasant year and I am looking forward to a more beautiful year in 2019. Resolution? Hmm... I rarely make a resolution, but I really wish I can explore to more countries this year, meet and connect to more people in the world, and I really want to make a big thing in my life (probably about growing the florist or trying something new). I also start a good habit from my government for not using the plastic bag every time we go shopping since January 2019. Although sometimes I forgot to bring my own recycle bag, I really want strictly limit myself to use plastic in my everyday life.
I hope everybody has a beautiful year in 2019, stay healthy, enjoy your life and don't forget to keep caring for each other to the environment!
