26.. These numbers might be just another ordinary number for most people. But these numbers meant a lot to me, to us, who came to this alien country last year. Indeed, 26 june 2014, the beginning of everything. The new chapter in my life which has brought so much changes to me. From that day begins, everything is a new for me. New country, new life style, new friends, new foods, yeah..
"Awalnya itu gue sangat menanti-nantikan datangnya ini hari. Gue, yang masih bisa dikatakan innocent, yang belum pernah merasakan rasanya keluar negri sendiri, meninggalkan keluarga, dan menjalani kehidupan baru sendiri, dengan tidak sabarnya pengen cepet cepet meninggalkan indo. Rasanya pengen cepet" bebas, pengen merasakan gimana sih rasanya hidup jauh dari orang tua. Gimana sih rasanya hidup di komunitas orang orang yang gaya hidupnya itu sangat berbeda dengan gaya hidup tpt gue tumbuh besar, gimana sih rasanya beradaptasi dengan lingkungan baru dan bersosialisasi dengan bahasa yang baru. Rasanya pasti keren, menabjubkan, bahkan thrilling yet fun".
I used to think that way. I used to think of how easy it will be to do that. I never think that it will be this hard to do. Honestly i do, i have put into my account about how much i need to prepare to face the condition when everything isn't going as expected. But you know, just prepared and imaginate wasn't enough though. You'll never know how hard it will be until you have feel it your own. No matter how good you know bout the situation. It will never be enough. I know that so well.
"jauh-jauh sebelum gue berencana utk melanjutkan studi di sini. Mungkin ketika gue masih duduk di bangku smp. Saya berasumsi bahwa "wah.. Keren yah sekolah ke luar negri.. Keceh bener itu orang wow. Pasti pinter banget"
Iyah ituu.. , saya pikir bahwa hanya pinter aja itu dpaat buat orang dengan mudahnya utk keluar negri dan bertahan hidup disana, i can laugh at how clueless i was, how simple my mind was. And i wish if only i can still think as simple and clueless as i used to be it will be much easier to handle, right." ohh.. I was way too clueless hahaha..
And as i tried to live my new life, struggle to adapt, to make a new friend, get used to the new environment, one year has passed. Time flies. Its like everything still feel so vivid and clear to me. I can still get the fast images of my life here flipping rapidly. Leaving a brief stop to let me peek inside the frame and get the memories. I can feel them alongside with me.
"The memory from when i parted from my family, the memory of me chasing the plane i almost missed, the memory of the awkward moment i made in plane when it was going to land, the times when i first stepped my feet on taiwan land, the moment we got scolded badly just a second after we checked out by the seniors whom will be taking care of us for the next two months before we entered the university, the moment when i saw my temporarily university, and how i surprised i was when i saw the bedroom, the moment when i met other friends from aceh, pekanbaru, palembang, jakarta, bandung, semarang, malang and surabaya, who will fight together for two months to decide our future university. The times i spent together with them, on the same roof, everyday we meet each other, share the same feeling, going through the days together, whether it was sad or happy. The moment when we all have a blast together, where we shared each other smile happily. When we all have felt like a family. The times when everyone was so sad and crying missing their family, when we all gpt so scared when get scolded by the senior, like they are going to kill us. Although these two months felt like a military dicipline, amd so strict, but thanks to the bond and kinship between us has gotten more and more stronger.
The times when we studied so hard fighting for future, when we all got the exams together.
The happy memories from the field trip we took after the exam.
The time when we got the exam result and the university. I can still remember the happy faces of people that got admitted in their dream univ, those whom result weren't as expected, those whom didn't even get the chance for the university, and those who doesn't even know what they should feel for the moment.
And then the last moment when we finally parted. The images of friends that were disappearing one by one. Everybody, day by day, left our temporarily university and went their new university, included me. And unfortunately some of them will back to indo since there are not getting any uni or get the uni the dont even want.
We were all separated by our own dreams and future, but one thing we know for sure, for some moments in our life, there exist a beautiful days and moments we have ever shared together. The days when we could the the fire flickered in every person eyes, the courage, the dreams, and the spirits of the teenage.
WE WERE ALL THE AWESOME TEENAGE!!!
Thanks for the carry all!!! It was indeed the best moments i have ever ever feel in my life.. Everr!! Love you guys so much!! You guys rockss!!!!!
And this was the slight story of my superr happy two months. I was happy to get admitted in this univ although it wasnt my first choice but i still like it.. But it wasn't last long. The worst always came after the best. Indeed, as soon as i started my architecture journey, everything changed. oMG, it was so hell here.. I believe you who has follow my story up till now will know bput my story, so i won't ruined my mood now and skipped this part.
And everthing was like this, i undergo my first semester, it was the worst semester ever. I almost decide to drop out from school due to the stress. After that i spent the winter break and chinese new year in indonesia!! Yihaaa.. Shortlyy.. I was back again to taiwan (also at 26th hahahaaha) and started my second semester. Fortunately, i had been get used to this thing now, and the stress wasnt as great as last semester. I think it is also because i get a nice teacher yeah..
But you know.. The real architecture starts from the third semester. Literally, the first year just for warming up for the next semester.. I don't know whether i should feel happy to have past my two hellist semester or i need to get stressed looking foward to the second year.
But you know, i dont even have time for that.. Summer holiday has come!!! Yihaaa and you know what it means?? It means !!! MORE HOMEWORK IS WAITING FOR YOU DUDE!! Even Death is not an excuse for architecture student, so is summer holiday!! Hell yaa!!!
I think it is just too unjustice, we have gone through our semester dead and alive, we even got our free time robbed away. Can they just give us a little exception for summer break?!! Cant they even let us have normal summer break like any other people would.. The teacher are not a human! Student supposed to rest and you DO know that since you used to be ONE! ==".. And for the zillions times in my life, i thought i've made a TERRIBLE mistake.. This is insannee.. OMOOO... Just wish me luck!! I need to survive here.. Need the best best best of braveness, persistence and courage and ofc energy!! Wawaeaeawawawawawawawa
And yeah another teribble mistake i've made!! I took a partime job for summer, and the forgot to manage the schedule to fit with my hellas homeworks!! The job only left me 5 hours free time exclude from 8 hours of sleep. And in that 5 hours i need to eat my breakfast, twice of showers, and the commotion time. So simply put that, if i svae as much time as possible, i can have 1-2 hours everyday to do my homework. And even kids know it is far from enough. I dont know how to survive my summer break. I hope i could make it through.. Trying to speak with the manager to get two days or one day break every week, wish me luck!!
Happy summer all...
Hope you all have an amazing summer.
I believe every summer will leave us an unforgettable an immeasurable moment!!
暑假快樂!!
