Chapter 7: The Notes of a Life Traveler

Ok, I was here, at my own room, the whole summer break. I have been no where since I have lots of savings to do. Then, I began to look surround. Man, what have I done all tis long? I have had lots of things going on in my life for almost a year since I left the choir. When I tried to look back on my earlier life at the choir, I could capture series of picture of my fellow choir members and how we did some works to gather money to be able to go out of the campus and serve the congregation in certain churches. I could recall the times when I and my friends raised funds; visited some lecturers' houses and asked them whether they have things that need help to be taken care of; I could remember how my friends were full of sweat digging holes and carrying some trash to get some cash for the whole group. But what happened is that there were some people then changed the way we raised fund to get money 'faster'. I didn't know whether it was a good idea to make the change, but I ...

hey, this is my first summer school ever since i started enrolling at this university. nothing's ever been this excited before... just too bad that i have to take 2 subjects in which i have to memorize everytime the lecturers would give tests... dude, that's challenging...

Antrian di Business Office. Antrian paling panjang dan paling cepat (karena soal duit) January 5th, 2009 Hari pertama ini banyak banget orang yang datang mendaftar. Biarpun lebih sedikit dari Semester I, tapi, kali ini adalah pendaftaran terlama dan terhancur dan ter-nggak jelas sepanjang sejarah kampus yang gua ingat. Nggak usah jauh-jauh, tempat di mana gua kerja aja udah repot dan bikin bingung, belum lagi kerjaan karena persiapan yang memang kurang matang banget. Gua serasa kerja sendiri di atas sana. Udah gitu, yang biasanya gua diperhatikan (well, at least diperhatikan boss gua), sekarang nggak sama sekali. Bukannya mau itung-itungan, ya, tapi dulu gua dikasih lunch dari business office guys, tapi nggak di pendaftaran kali ini. Gua dicuekin! gile banget dah. Kesialan gua juga ditambah dengan anak-anak baru yang bikin gua emosi dengan datang satu per satu. hanya dua ato tiga orang doang setiap hari datang untuk tes masuk (Bahasa Inggris). Gara-gara itu, gua jadi ngga bisa daftar d...

Ternyata hidup itu nggak cuma berakhir di SMA ato kuliahan doang... Beberapa minggu lalu gw baca dan lihat aktivitas terakhir beberapa temen2 gw yang dulu pernah sama-sama di SMA. Ada yang udah nikah, ada yang udah engaged... then i started to think... am i gonna be like them someday? and the answer came back to me real fast saying, "yeah, dude.. u gonna be like them someday; settle down and having a family.. getting into bigger responsibility and activities..." sesaat gw kuatiiir banget, am i gonna be able to do this. I'm not even ready yet. nggak ada yang bisa gua bikin dulu buat ini. but the reality is reality. I'm gonna have to do that someday. ready or not, i'm gonna be in that... real soon... emang bener kata orang2. masa-masa yang paling indah itu adalah masa-masa indah di SMA ama kuliahan....

ok... so here we go again... i haven't had much time blogging and talking stuff here lately. however, i am now alone in the radio studio and thinking of doing something rather than just sleeping and organizing programs for next semester, which is next week on January 5th... i went to my girlfriend's house to get her stuff moved from her apartment near mine. she's just graduated and is moving her stuff back home. we had some stuff moved already and we still have lots of boxes of books to move. since there are only the three of us, me, maria, and her brother, so we just decided to just move the books later. i had good time with her family. her father, in fact, was a nice guy. he talked with me much and i really enjoyed the conversation thing. for those of u guys who already married, or, at least, having a relationship with someone and already met and talked to her or his dad, i think you know the feeling i had. so, then, i went downtown with maria's brother to get some th...

gile! akhir semester yang memang cliche banget setiap tahun.... nggak pagi, siang ato malem, gua hanya ditemenin ama sapi glondongan ini doang.... buset dah... i went to his dormitory this morning, and check these thrashes out! mereka nangkring di situ for almost a week already. no one's taking care of it dan langsung pulang aja ke rumah masing-masing.... gw, ama dalay tiap hari hanya nongkrong di studio tempat gw kerja aja... paling internetan (mumpung koneksi cepet dan nggak ada orang yang mo pake... liat aja hasilnya anak ini.... bete banget tidur di asrama sendiri... ya,.. gw 'terpaksa' deh ngangkut dia ke studio... biar ada objek yang bisa gua pandang lah... bete juga mandangin mixer ama computers tiap malem. liburan natal kali ini nge-bete in sekaligus nge-asemin..... hasudhdfjsdfsdf'#%#$^*#@$(%#$%#$%

Biasanya orang-orang tuh kalo liburan pasti pergi ke tempat-tempat hiburan ato ke rumah sodara-sodara (biarpun mereka pasti tau kalo ke rumah sodara pasti akan ngeluarin biaya lebih mahal lagi ketimbang ke tempat-tempat wisata karena PASTI, mau ga mau, mereka harus beliin oleh-oleh buat orang-orang yang dikunjungi) untuk ngilangin kepenatan selama kerjaan satu semester ini. ya iyalah, orang itu harus keluar dari tempat kerja/kuliah/sekolah mereka biar perasaan suntuk yang udah ditabung selama satu semester (setidaknya dari Januari lah) dibuang jauh-jauh dan siap-siap semuanya (tenaga, kreatifitas, ato duit ato branded stuff) untuk menyambut periode baru... tapi nggak buat gua. Gua harus tetep tinggal di universitas bapuk ini untuk nyari duit. emang sih di sini gua harus kerja tiap hari, mulai jam 8 dan pulang sore-sore banget, tapi gua justru nggak ngerasa ini siksaan fisik karena harus kerja... ya namanya juga nyari duit, ya harus gini.. Justru ada beberapa hal yang gua nggak dapet di...
