Ramadhan!

Happy Fasting everyone!

Ramadhan this episodes, I will spend it in a totally different place. And also in totally different time zone! As we all know, right now I am staying in Hamburg with the time zone +01:00 CET. So Indonesia and Malaysia will start fasting 6 hours earlier than us here. But that is not really the problem. The problem is, that right now in Germany is Summer! The day is longer than The Night. Yes, I am fasting 6 hours longer that you guys in Indonesia or Malaysia. So when you guys are already eat Sahur, I'm just breakfasting here. Well, it is not a problem actually, it is a challenge! I have tried to fast before, and it was okay. 19 hours fasting is not a problem! I can do it!

The feeling?
Totally different. Thanks to my calendar's alert. He told me just now that tomorrow is Ramadhan. I almost completely forget. They don't have any Dates' ads, Sarong's ad or Syrup's Ad for breakfasting as a sign that Ramadhan is around the corner. It is kind of dull and boring here. Sadly, I have to face it.

So, Happy Fasting everyone!

Ramadhan Mubarak!

Yeay!

Finally, I step on the ground again!

After so many months not occupied by anything, finally I decided to be busy! I enrolled my self into some online course from University world wide. The courses are interesting. And I can choose whatever I want to learn. So it is basically a subject that taught in University, but they put it online for free. Yeay! It also has assessment, quiz and grading. I feel like I am attending Open University. I learn from home, I did the assessment from home. Submit it online. It was just great! I love it.

My current subject is Andy Warhol. I really love all of his works. The Monroe's, Banana painting, Campbell's Soup can, and etc. I love the way he plays with color. I learned about his backgrounds and history. The one that disappointed me is, that he is gay. The course is from University of Edinburgh. The Lecturer's accent is love. I've done 1st assessment which is very cool! and the 3rd week quiz.

I have enrolled in another class, about fantasy in life! Cool huh? It begins in three weeks. I am very happy, that I learn something again.

PEOPLE, AFIFA NOW HAS A LIFE!!


My 1st assessment. ( feel like I am design/art student :D)

Berlin

11:21 PM




Hari ini aku melangkahkan kaki ke tempat  yang sebenarnya sudah pernah ku pijak. Tempat yang sebenarnya adalah tempat yang pertama kali ku pijak. Akhirnya setelah 16 tahun aku kembali lagi. Aku merasa seperti anak kampung ke kota. Kampung Hamburg sangat berbeda dengan Kota Berlin. Pusat perbelanjaan megah, gedung pencakar langit, atau stasiun kereta modern belum menyentuh Hamburg. 

Tapi anehnya, aku merasa aneh disini. Berlin terlalu besar, terlalu kompleks, ramai dan hingar bingar. Tapi dibalik semua itu, Berlin tetap spesial dengan sejarahnya, sejarah seorang bayi perempuan yang lahir pada tanggal 12 September 1994. 

Ich bin eine Berlinerin und bin schon wieder hier!

Matahari

Matahari hari ini...

9:23 AM



Matahari hari ini tidak murung. Dia mau keluar dari peraduannya. Hari ini dia keluar lebih awal. Jam 6 aku membuka mata, matahari sudah melambaikan tangannya kepada ku. Melalui sela-sela tirai kamarku, tangan-tangannya masuk membelai wajahku. Hangat. 

Kemana saja kamu 5 bulan kemarin? Apakah dingin nya musim dingin, membuatmu enggan melambaikan tangan kepadaku?
Matahari jangan pergi lagi!
Aku sungguh merindukan mu!
