simple life

i found this small vintage store while strolling on the bar street..

a shanghai day-off

life's a climb

was just watching hannah montana the movie with my girls
that was pretty inspiring
we also had a conversation that pretty comforting me
since i've been going through 'just another phase of my life worrying about my future'
everybody is indeed really started to leave suzhou
what am i gonna do?! what do i suppose to do?!
dunno what to say..

but hey it's the climb!
btw.. i like the view!

city of labor

hey cyworld!
this is me
back to suzhou, back to reality
humans do never feel satisfied
so do i..
i headed back to suzhou 2 days ago
and these days were the worst days for
i have never felt homesick before for 2 years long when i decided to go to china
but now in my third year, I REALLY MISS HOME
i miss mom, i miss dad, i miss my lil' bro
i miss my besties
i miss the food
i miss the food
i miss everything i left behind in my home country
i suddenly feel so devastated with everything
the school
the ambience
just everything!
why i had to come to china?
why i had to go here studying medicine?
these questions keep humming in my head
but then i told myself
be strong!
be grateful!
be thankful!
because His way is way above our ways
i'll never manage to understand His but to trust Him
and so like my blog is called
every cloud has its silver lining
FIGHTING!!!

MERDEKA!!

i am an indonesian

born in indonesia and speak indonesian

so proud of indonesia

proud being an indonesian

HIDUP INDONESIA

transition

i have so many dreams to chase

nowadays i started to feel that my calling is even getting stronger

i need to make my dreams come true A.S.A.P

it's urgent call

ambition & passion

to become a good doctor

i used to feel that i suit as a fashion designer

but i changed my mind

guess my drawing is not that good

i do have so many images in my head but i just can't make those out of my head

i can think of it but i can't draw it out

so then i've come to a conclusion that :

"i think i'd suit a fashion stylist better than a fashion designer"

and i'm sure that i still can be great

i want kim heechul! ><

(oh, if he could read this..)

indonesia . china . japan . korea . singapore . europe . US

i really am in need to start doing my life adventure

travelling around the world

speaking in many languages

spreading love and peace

it's not about being like someone else

it's about being my trully own self

i am about to launch and beat this world

the old story

this is the most important story of my life

i have no idea about how i am able to get to china

though let me tell ya.. my fam isn't rich

i seem to have a good life, i do!

i never regret of what i've been going through & of what i have until now

but i think i just have to keep get going & work harder

but it's all just what it seems to be

mom & dad weren't from rich family too

they met up & decided to live together

started from zero, now they have become hero, lol, nah j/k

they really did started from zero ya'll

when they got married, they had nothing..

not even any household utensils

mom told me that the plates were from my aunt

the sofa was from my other aunt

the car we used to have was from my uncle

pathetic huh, no it wasn't, that's what we called FAMILY

i am proud of all of them

..and the story didn't end up just like that

after getting married for 1 year, i guess, then they have me

it was the hardest time my mom said

because both of them are working

so, there is no other way than to hire a nanny to take care of me

during that time all the effort they made was all being used just for buying me milk & for paying the nanny

as the time goes by, everything started to get better

it wasn't a smooth path at all

there were some hard times

when my dad was fired & only mom worked

they never told me anything about it but i knew

..and finally we made it..

here we are..

everything is much better now

sometimes i still can't believe that i'm already a university student in china

it wasn't too fancy but at least i study abroad

so from now on it's my turn to make my own story

i cherish everything i have & cherish every moment

thx GOD for just everything :)

premiere

finally, i went out with my BFFs again after 6 months
then we did our ritual, we went to the cinema for harry potter
our funny ritual.. hihihi :) i believe now it's been for 8 years
and the funniest thing is that we still keep our tickets
however, it was fun to hang out with my girls though we're missing one of us
we surely are going out more often for the next one month

luv u girls
