Aku tidak pernah sebelumnya merasakan Homesick. Buatku orang yang mengatakan bahwa dia sedang Homesick adalah orang yang berlebihan. Bagaimana bisa seseorang sangat merindukan suatu tempat yang dipanggilnya rumah? It's just a place.
Tapi presepsi itu berubah ketika aku meneteskan airmata karena aku rindu rumahku. Apakah aku merindukan Indonesia? Ya, tapi aku meneteskan airmata bukan untuk Indonesia. Maaf. Yang aku panggil rumah adalah tempat dimana aku tumbuh besar. Mulai dari fase anak-anak hingga remaja hingga dewasa. Tidak sedikit hal yang aku pelajari disana. Aku meneteskan airmataku untuk Kuala Lumpur. Terlalu banyak kenangan indah yang dipetik disana.
Sudah setahun satu bulan aku tidak menginjakkan kaki di Kuala Lumpur. Sudah setahun satu bulan aku meninggalkan hatiku disana. Sudah setahun satu bulan aku tidak menghirup udara disana. Dan setelah satu tahun satu bulan ini, aku mulai meneteskan airmata.
Aku rindu berada disana.
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!
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!!
