When I Failed

So, I failed
I lost
I was defeated
I was torn


No, I don't give up
I thrust forward
I'm guarded by a wide wooden wall
My flame still burns
Inside, the fire is waiting


Count me on 
I'll be there
Again




Ditulis saat menelan kekecewaan karena sebuah kegagalan :)

Memboyong Keluarga Kuliah di Luar Negeri: Bagian 2 (Sekolah Anak!!)

Image
OSHC atau Overseas Student Health Cover untuk keluarga sudah terpenuhi. Selanjutnya apa? Bagi yang akan memboyong anak-anak dengan usia sekolah (5 tahun standar Tasmania dan 6 tahun standar beberapa negara bagian Australia lainnya), maka sekolah anak menjadi prioritas . Sekolah anak juga menjadi alasan banyak diantara penerima beasiswa memilih untuk berangkat sendirian terlebih dulu, baru memboyong keluarganya. Selain itu, beberapa pemberi beasiswa seperti AAS dan Fulbright mensyaratkan masa tunggu minimal 6 bulan bagi penerima beasiswa untuk membawa keluarga serta. Jadi, masuk akal mengapa harus ada masa tunggu ini. Karena... kita harus memastikan bahwa semuanya siap untuk keluarga kita pada saat mereka datang. Untuk Australia, syarat membuat visa untuk anak yang sudah usia masuk sekolah adalah anak sudah terdaftar di sekolah!  Sekedar berbagi pengalaman pribadi, saya merasa beruntung karena saya bisa memboyong keluarga (suami dan anak-anak) secara langsung tanpa...

What Silence Teaches You

Silence. I only heard cars passing by and the humming of the machine keeping this house intact. The students already left the town, for holidays. They will be back soon swarming campus's buildings and parks with their noise--the noise that now I am longing for. My mind is busy thinking of this and that, those things and these things, things completed and not yet completed.  Silence.  All around me it's silence. I heard my brain playing the cassettes of memories, calling people by their names. I miss them. I miss them so much. This silence punctuates my longing for the loved ones. For the husband whose love gives endless warmth, I miss you. For the mother whose endless prayers accompany me always, I miss you. For the father whose silly love makes me laugh, I miss you. For the sisters whose words may sometimes be nice and some other times be harsh, I miss you. For the friends who love hanging out with me, I miss you. For all the food awakening my taste buds, inviting my sali...

Is Dinodirect a Fun Place to Shop?

It's been awhile I haven't updated my blog. Aside from being so immersed with my study that includes reading a bunch of books, articles, and of course, writing my thesis--I wanted to write about my experience that maybe useful for other people. This is about the emerging and increasingly popular shopping website with its base in China, Dinodirect. I'm a dress lover, and is quite a fashionista. I always want to look good because I believe that my appearance is part of my identity. I feel comfortable with myself being dressed up nicely. At the same time, I'm also tight with money. Saving while shopping is my motto. Since I don't drive, and like to cozily browse on the internet for my shopping, I always come across shopping sites that offer nice goods with unusually lower prices. That's how I came across Dinodirect. Unbelievably low prices, nice-looking clothing (especially dresses), and free shipping! This site has a lot to offer. Being cautious with fraud web...
