2015

Looking back to 2015.....

Me and my family always do the to-close-and-open-year-praying in the middle of the night, so was last year, and that was the year I spent its very first seconds with tears. I just can't help it, when I saw Bue (=grandfather in Dayak Ngaju language) getting thinner on his wheelchair. I used to know him as a great man. I still can't accept he should be in that condition. But knowing that he's still breathing and be with us until this day, I thank God.

 Thank God again, because in 2015 I traveled aboard for the first time. That lucky country (or lucky me :P) is Japan. Not really enjoy the trip, actually. We had a tight schedule so I never had enough time to travel around and I got PMS. So yaa I'm sorry to SCENErs for being sensitive and quite suck at that time. Btw, these guys, the SCENErs, are the most 'ga-ada-jaim-jaimnya' people.

 My birthday in 2015 is quite something too. I turned 22 and not only people in my church congratulate me but also Al-mudrikyah members. It's really something when you accepted by people who differ with you. I'm thank you because of that. Ah, someone asked what I want on my birthday. He has almost everything and I totally aware that He may give me anything. But, (I dunno what the hell I was thinking about) I only asked for a prayer. Silly, huh? No.. it’s kinda weird, but I never regret it. My prayer is about . . .

 . . . final project. That thing was somewhat frustrating me. I started it in February and (finally) finished it in December. Until this time, I am the student (in my generation) who takes the longest time to finish a final project. I thank for that, actually (terima kasih, Bu, Pak). But it shouldn't be counted as 11 months because I was ‘disappearing’ for almost 2 months to do the preparation for my trip to Japan. Ah, I also do some others in March, April, July (to Singkawang) and November (to Bogor). My campus mates (and lecturers) didn’t know that I really take some dates enjoying my time. Haha. By the way, do you know what date I did the final presentation of my final project? 23rd! Yeah, 23rd of December! Poor my mom because she must take over the christmas-cookies-making job. (If I have to thank someone at most, she is the one. Not sure I will ‘works’ if she wasn’t there.)

 The last but not least, you, the man who became my sentris of the year. Ah, I use sentris instead of translating it to ‘central’ because I used to call this phenomenon as ‘(his name)sentris’ just like geosentris or egosentris because my life goes around surround you since I have you. Though 2015 is over, I’m not over you (yet) (or never will, maybe). Haha. Thanks for both the laugh and the tears.

 So, ya, 2015 is really a year. I also know Jostein Gaarder, Dewi Dee Lestari, M. Aan Mansyur, Remy Sylado, and Agus Noor by their great writings (that make me fall in love again and again), first in 2015. I hope 2016 will be greater than you, 2015. Thank you again!
