Self Confidence Crisis

It's been ages since the last time I put my feeling into words. Life happens busily, by busily I mean no time for lazing around or watching my korean chinggu. My mother's healthy, some of my family's problems, and of course, my entrance exam for university, has been occupied on my mind and took most of my time for the last two months.

But now, I just want to tell about my entrance exam which I just had yesterday. No, I'm not going to tell the description of the exam. It was really awfull. I just want to share about my feeling during and after that day.

At that day, I realized that I have to be strong and dependent, because there is no one who's able to help me anytime. I have to stand on my own  because everyone has their own bussiness and asking for their help will surely take their valuable time. Whatever story that make me come up with this thingking, I will save it as my personal learning.

Another thing is a very common thing. And this is the point of this post. About my self confidence. It has always been annoyed me since I was in high school, and it became even worse when I was in university. I am a pessimist person. I can stay awake all night long for studying calculus, but still not have a confidence to face the exam in the morning. I was (and probably still am) not a brilliant student, academically. I need more efforts to get at least the same level as my friends'. I have to double my stubborness to catch them up. Even though sometime the result  was not worth. Yes, occasionally, my hard work was bertrayed by the outcome. Well, it's another story.

It was not always happen that way, of course. Sometimes, I got a good result and it surely boosted my confidence up. But then, when I suffer a confidence crisis, how could I face everything?

The answer is simple: pretending. By pretending I mean not giving the fake things to everyone, not. I pretend to myself. Pretend that I can do it, pretend that I'm capable enough to do it, pretend that I'm smart and brilliant. I pretend until my brain believes that it's not a pretense anymore. And somehow, it works.

But unfortunately, this time, after that awful exam, I don't know how to pretend to myself. How to make myself believe that every hard work will be paid off equally. That exam really made me questioning my own capability. The result has not been announced yet. It will be announced on 20th next month. But I don't have any intention to wait or count down.

And the worst thing is, that exam has done already, but I still cannot watch my korean chinggu, because I'm still struggling to get myself seat in postgraduate program.

Please wish me a best luck. Thank you.

 Ps: I wrote this from my smart phone because if I turn my laptop on, I will undoubtedly open my korean chinggu folder.

Ramadhan

 Walaupun masih banyak sekali kekurangan, Ramadhan tahun ini ternyata merupakan salah satu Ramadhan terbaik yang bisa saya jalani. Anak yang sudah lebih besar dan mandiri, jarak tempat tinggal dan kantor yang hanya 5 langkah, dan jam kerja yang lebih fleksibel, mungkin adalah beberapa hal yang membuat Ramadhan kali ini terasa lebih khidmat. Ramadhan-ramadhan sebelumnya sebagai ibu hamil, menyusui, ibu dengan bayi menuju toddler, jam kerja yang masih padat, membuat saya kewalahan dalam mengatur ibadah. Puasa jelas banyak yang ketinggalan. Sholat sunnah sebisanya saja, yang penting sholat wajib tidak ketinggalan. Sholat tarawih dan Qur'an? Selalu diusahakan sebisanya. Duo ibadah primadona di bulan Ramadhan ini harus diikhlaskan karena masih sering ketempelan bocil. Meskipun kadang merasa sedih karena Ramadhan selalu menjadi waktu istimewa untuk umat Muslim, nyatanya saya hanya bisa melaluinya dengan ibadah 'alakadarnya'. Lalu saya bertemu dengan sebuah nasihat dari ukhti fill...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...
