A New Life (What's Up People)

ALOHA~
It's been a while (hell long time) since my last post here. Actually, the last post I made was on 2012 but since the post was kinda trashy (yeah I feel like it trashy post) so I deleted it. Maybe in the future I will deleted some of the posts that I thought unnecessary.

So, yeah. Been like 2-3 years not blogging, I actually miss to write here. A lot of things happened for these years, just like a blink of an eye (hyperbole, I know). But I will summarized all the years in this one post. Here we go.

2012
On this year, my last semester in my 3rd year was coming. Nothing eventful but KKL. Yeah, my friends and I were going to three cities for doing KKL (for you who doesn't know what KKL is, it stands for Kuliah Kerja Lapangan). The three cities are Bandung, Malang and Jogja. It was really a fun and a joyful trip. Eventhough after that we really need to submit a report about all of the trip, but we still had fun. Well, have a trip with friends always fun, right?

In the next semester of this year, I was entering my 4th year. I supposed to think about my thesis now. At least the topic and what kind of research I wanted to do. And, as a Educational student, I needed to do this experience teaching in a school. Well not just me but my friends who has not done it has to do it too. This semester was a hell. It really was. But, I think that will be unforgettable moments. The students I teached really nice eventhough they were really noisy and some of them were rebels, I still had fun. They reminded me of my highschool's memory.

2013
Ah, here we came, my (supposed to be) last semester. I still need to took 4 credits while I did my thesis. Not an easy job, I swore. And dealt with my supervisor was hard. She was sooooo busy since she was a Head Dept and I also busy with assignments, tasks, tests, exams etc. And so, my 8th semester passed, but not my thesis.

The next semester, my 9th semester came. No more classes, supposed to be a hint for me to finished my thesis already. But no. Still hard to dealt with my supervisors, went back and forth to Japan Foundation for searching some theories, but she had not acc my 1st chapter yet. I admitted, I was frustrated and run away. But then I back and I even went to Bandung to go to UNPAD and UPI to found another theories and still, I couldn't finished it yet, this semester. TT TT

2014
Still struggled with thesis. My mom said I was too laid back so my thesis is no where nearly done. So, I tried my best so my chapter 1 and 2 got acc and I could go to my 2nd supervisor. But, unfortunately, in the middle of it, my grandmother passed away. I was shock and.... really, I once again left my thesis behind. Put it in the back of my mind and I did nothing but accompany my grandfather. I kept doing that, until when I asked my friend about how her thesis and she nearly finished it. I became aware, if she graduated, then I might be too late to do it later. So, I started to do my thesis again and finally I could go to my 2nd supervisor. How surprised, she told me I was late. She then asked me to do my research and if I could go back to her as soon as possible. So yeah, I did well but again time went so fast. I almost done my thesis when my supervisors said I couldn't graduated this semester.

Here it came my very last semester. Since my research was almost done, I just need to finished it and went to both supervisors to made sure it's perfect to be presented and defended. And I was grateful when they said my thesis was done. So my last preparation was to presented and defended my thesis in front of the examiners right? And while I wait for the date, I helped my mom to be a scoring admin. I went to Puncak for maybe 2 months, 3-4 days a week. Such a refreshing and a pleasure after all of the things that made my mind went wild. I really experienced some things there. How to work with people, how to communicate with new people, how to present ourselves. Thanks to my mom, now I have 4 big sisters because of that events. They were assessors in the events so I mostly worked with them. And so, the work were over, here came my graduation exam. I was scheduled to defended my thesis on December 24 and on the very day, both my parents were out of town (talking about awesome). But, it went well. I felt so relax, and I did my best to defend my thesis in front of my examiners. And with it, I GRADUATED! Hell yeah.... Thank God, finally.


So, now, I am struggling about what job I want to do. I'm still jobless and I am waiting for my graduation ceremony on March 24, next month exactly. While I think about it, and do re-branding myself (a friend told me I need to do this), I will try to start writing again.

Until next time, I hope.

Love,
-Nifa

Next: OSPEK

Huaaaaaa...

Ini nih yang gue sesali. Kenapa gue baru nyari grup jurusan gue sekarang? Kenapa ga dari kemaren? Masalahnya sih, bukan gue ketinggalan. Tapi, shocked! Abiiiiissss.

Awalnya gue cuma mau tau kapan gue di briefing sama kakak-kakak seniornya. Tapi ternyata, yang gue dapet lebih dari itu. Gue dapet web BEM FBS dari grup itu. Dia menulis

"Untuk Maba cek web ini ya"

Dan gue pun meng-klik. Dengan setengah mati deg2annya, gue berharap kabar baik dan penerangan buat masa depan gue (halah apaan sih?). Dan OMGDZ! Ternyata sudah terpampang gambar name tag buat maba FBS. Yah, berasa balik ke SMA deh gue. Eh iya, itu tulisan web-nya clickable loh.

Aduh Tuhan, ampun deh. emang sih ga pake bikin essay. Tapi semoga aja cuma ini aja ya. ga yang aneh-aneh lagi. Amin.

segitu dulu aja deh ya.

I AM BACK!!!

Heyho... finally i'm back. after my internet was broken and i can't updating my blog. hahaha. im back with all brand new news.

Banyak banget ya kejadian yang terjadi 2 bulan belakangan ini. Bom, Mbah Surip. hehehe. Dan gue juga mau cerita banyaaaak banget sebenernya. Tapi gue coba untuk tidak bertele-tele kayak telenovela. huahhaha.


Writing Test For MONBUSHO

Tanggal berapanya gue agak lupa. Ooh, 29 Juli kemaren. Baru aja. Gue di telpon seminggu sebelumnya sama Kedubes. Kebayang kan perasaan gue? campur aduk abis. Di satu sisi gue Seneeeeeeeeeeng banget karena ini selangkah lebih maju untuk mimpi gue. Di sisi lain gue binguuuuuung banget karena gue bukan applied untuk S1 tapi cuma D2. Tapi ya udah lah. Yang penting ke JEPANG gitu deh. hahaha. Akhirnya gue mengiyakan. Tapi gue yang ogah-ogahan gitu. Baru nyari soal aja Jumat. Baru ngerjain tu soal Senen ya. lupa gue. Trus soalnya nggak gue print pula. Jadi masih di laptop gue. Pas hari H, gue bingung. Mau belajar di mana? Dan gue cuma bisa cengo dan entah kenapa gue kok pengen nangis. ya udah gue nangis deh. hehehe. Deg-deg an sumpah! Jam 1/2 1 gue masuk auditorium (btw, tesnya di Pusdi Jepang UI) dan duduk di sebelah cowok yang bernama Afdi dari Bogor. Dan tes itu berlangsung selama 3 jam (plus penjelasan, aslinya cuma 2 jam untuk 2 mata pelajaran) dan yang dites Mat sama Bhs Inggris. Bhs Inggris, sip. Insya Allah lah, keisi semua pula. Giliran Mat, HUADOH! gue cuma bisa isi 3. Mati aja deh tu soal. Dan sekarang, gue cuma berharap nilai gue bisa mencapai nilai 7 dan bisa dipanggil untuk diwawancara. I need more than luck for this. Help God. hehehe.


SNMPTN 2009

Kabar yang gue denger, dari 71 banyak ya yang keterima negeri? Apalagi UI katanya. Ih waw! Hahaha. Kalo kata adek gue, gue obsessed sama UI. So what? Almost every student do. hehehe. eh bener ga tuh bahasa inggris gue? sebodo lah! Anyway, gue seneng sekaligus miris. Hehehe. Sempet nyesel juga gue karena ga ikut. Sempet berpikir kalo gue nekat, gue bisa nggak ya dapet FIB UI sastra Jepang? heheheh. Tapi yasudahlah. kalo emang nantinya gue masih penasaran dan ternyata ga dipanggil buat wawancara, gue coba lagi taun depan (tapi gue berharapnya sih gue dipanggil wawancara jadi taun depan gue berangkat. hohohoho). And, Congrats ya buat semua yang udah dapet PTN. Berarti nanti campus expo 71 banyak dong yang dateng yaa.. hehehe. Buat yang belom dapet, ini cuma ketunda aja guys. percaya deh, lo semua pasti bisa dapet yang terbaik. Tuhan kan serba tahu, iya ga? Hope ALL the best for you all.


Mbah Surip

Innalillahiwainnailaihi roji'un
Mbah Surip yang selama 2 bulan ini jadi FENOMENA kini udah nggak ada. Kaget lho gue denger beliau udah nggak ada. Gue pikir becandaan aja. Ternyata beneran lho. Ya ampun. Dan tiba-tiba saja semua TV memutar 'In Memoriam Mbah Surip'. Bahkan OB Shift 2 aja diputer ulang yang ada Mbah Surip-nya. Yah, semoga aja Mbah Surip bisa tenang ya. Semoga amal dan ibadahnya diterima di sisi Allah SWT. Dan dia meninggalnya tenang banget. Pas tidur. Dan kata nyokap gue mukanya bersih. Yah semoga aja itu jadi cerminan dia nanti di sana ya. Tenang dan bisa menikmati tidur tenangnya. Amin.


Udah ah, capek ya gue curhat. hahahaha. Uanjiiir. Jadi kalap nih gue gara-gara internet gue udah 'sehat'. hahahaha. see you on my next post, guys. Keep watching, eh, reading. hahahaha. Kacaaaau...!

No Heartbeats for THIS Result

Haha. No no. Im not dead. I mean no heartbeat is hmm.. deg-degan gitu lhoo. Yeah, just too hard to find the same meaning word in English. haha. Called me dork then.

Okay. I just feel like nothing happened when the result of SIMAK and UMB is getting closer. I just think that "Oh, okay. I wish i can make it. UI here i come." That's it. But i didnt feel worried, nervous, or anything like that. Isnt it hmm Pertanda (i dont know what's pertanda in English)?

Why i called it pertanda? Coz, when i didnt feel nervous or heartbeats, i didnt make it. haha. Yeah, the result is always "Maaf Anda belum dapat bla bla bla.." But when i feel it, it happened when i have the result from UNJ, i can make it. For example. I get the result when im in Salon. You know, im frustrated. I can see internet there. Alias ga ada pulsa. Akhirnya gue pinjem hp nyokap dan ke situsnya UNJ. Gue cek nama gue dan ada. Tapi gue masih ga percaya. Gue bener2 deg-degan dan gak sabar buat nyampe rumah.

Sesampenya gue di rumah, gue langsung ngusir adek gue yang ada di depan komputer dan langsung ke situsnya UNJ. And you know what? Im in. haha. Im so happy. That's why gue nganggep kejadian2 pas SIMAK dan UMB adalah pertanda gue ga masuk UI. haha. Emang jalan gue di UNJ kali yaaa. Walau gue jalan muter-muter, tetep aja gue ke UNJ-UNJ juga. haha.

Wish Me Luck For My UNJ Interview Result

Hola, sebelumnya, gue mau bilang. Post gue emang agak aneh. Mungkin banyak yang bertanya-tanya. Tapi makasih buat yang masih mau sempetin baca. Dan, tadinya ni post mau gue tulis pake bahasa inggris. Tapi setelah beberapa kali gue kehilangan kata-kata, gue mutusin untuk nulis dengan bahasa Ibu gue aja. Bahasa Indonesia.

Diawali dengan keberuntungan gue karena gue bisa lolos tahap pertama UNJ di mana beberapa temen (yang justru gue anggap lebih pinter), ga keterima. Nah, sesuai dengan yang tertulis di undangannya, gue masih harus menghadapi tes wawancara dan keterampilan berbahasa. Makanya gue usahain buka-buka buku bahasa Jepang gue lagi untuk belajar.

Berhubung paginya (sampe siang) gue ujian praktek, gue capek banget hari itu. Jadi gue cuma belajar sedikit trus ketiduran sambil dengerin SuJu nyanyi 'Sorry, Sorry' trus bangun dibangunin nyokap buat makan trus nonton bentar, tidur lagi.

Untungnya, gue masih inget untuk nyalain alarm. Gue nyalain 2 alarm di HP gue. Di Esia gue gue nyeterl jam 2 pagi, di SE, gue setel jam 3. Sayang disayang, gue bangun malah jam 1/2 4. Yang bikin gue bertanya-tanya, kenapa tu alarm esia ga kedengeran ya? Anyway, gue tetep bangun dan keluar kamar.

Sebelum belajar, berhubung gue inget hari ini Chelsea maen, gue nonton ESPN dulu. Gue liat, udah jalan 78 menit, berarti udah babak ke-2. Skor masih 0-0, wah, kok gini? Gue kaget. Tapi ga sedih karena Barca juga ga bisa nge-gol. Sambil nonton, gue tetep berharap Chelsea menang. Paling nggak ni, masukin satu gol tandang aja. Tapi ternyata, saudara-saudara, skor kacamata tetap bertahan hingga akhir pertandingan. Ini berarti Chelsea harus menang di Stamford Bridge untuk bisa lolos ke Final. Yeah, gue harep sih juga gitu.

Nah, abis nonton, gue masih iseng (baca: males). Gue ganti-ganti aja tuh channel dan akhirnya malah nonton sinetron di sambi nonton MTV Insomnia. Sampe jam 1/2 5, baru deh gue beranjak dan balik ke buku gue dan belajar. Sampe akhirnya jam 1/2 6 gue mandi (dengan sebelumnya nonton MTV JK Hits), dan bersiap-siap untuk cabut. Gue pun cabut jam 1/2 7 bareng nyokap.

Sampe di sana, gue tiba-tiba nervous. Kenapa? Mungkin karena hawa-hawanya mulai kerasa tuh. Nah, trus, sampe sana gue langsung cari ruangan wawancara gue. Di D.105. Gue nanya kan, trus katanya di gedung D. Akhirnya nyokap n gue berjalan ke gedung D. Nyampe sana, gue nanya sama mas-mas yang baru buka tu gedung. Katanya, itu gedung Puskom. Yang buat Bahasa Jepang ada di belakang, di sebelah perpustakaan. Akhirnya jalanlah gue ma nyokap. Tapi kaga nemu-nemu itu gedung. Akhirnya balik lagi. Nanya lagi. Sukses deh sepagian muterin UNJ FBS. Sampe akhirnya gue nemu bapak-bapak yang lagi nanya sama bapak-bapak (bingung ga?!). Gue ma nyokap ngikutin aja. Dan gondok banget gue pas tau tu gedung ternyata udah gue lewatin 2 kali bolak-balik (jadi total 4 kali). Sial banget daah!!

Ya udah. Gue nunggu. Satu ruangan ada 10 orang. Mulai baru jam 9. Gue ngisi data, trus nunggu. Dosennya dateng, kita disuruh keluar. Nyokap udah cabut tentu. Gue di sana kenalan sama dua orang namanya Deta dan Meirita (sebenernya ngobrol ga sama mereka berdua aja. tapi kenalannya cuma sama mereka. hehe). Ngobrol2 lah kami sampe akhirnya sepi sekitar jam 12-an (sumpah ya, satu orang itu di tesnya lama bener!!). Dan akhirnya, giliran gue pun tiba.

Masuklah dengan senyum. Berharap bisa membuat dosennya cair (emangnya es cair?).Awalnya gue cuma di tanya nama (tentu!), panggilan dan di suruh duduk. Gue di tanya kenapa milih Bahasa Jepang bukan Inggris. Dan bla-bla-bla. Sampai akhirnya gue di tes keterampilan berbahasa. Mati gue! Dia nanya pake bahasa jepun. Oke. Gue ngerti sikit-dikit. tapi pas dia nyuruh gue mendeskripsikan oke sekali lagi biar dramatis, MENDESKRIPSIKAN sensei gue dalam bahasa jepun, gue cuma bisa cengo. Iya, cengo. Mikir aja gue. Sempet mau keluar 'she's nice, kind, wear hijab', tapi untung ngga jadi. Akhirnya dengan sangat menyesal gue jawab, 'wakarimasen'. Huh, dia cuma senyum. Sial!

Terus, kesialan gue g berhenti, sodara-sodara. Gue disuruh baca surat. Suratnya ada katakana-nya. Sekali lagi ya...KATAKANA. Dan gue paling bodoh tu sama huruf katakana. Paling mentok gue hiragana sama katakana ka, ni, fu, a ,ha, ki. udah. Sisanya? BLANK!!

Setelah, gagal di katakana dan cuma bisa cengar-cengir (yang tulisannya katakana gue bacanya ' nani, nani'), wawancara pun berlanjut dan akhirnya selesai (FYI, gue juga di suruh nyanyi di sana. dan semua perbendaharaan lagu gue ilang. cuma nyisa hurt-nya christina).

Gue keluar dan cabut dari sana secepat gue bisa (walau sebenernya gue masih pengen liat kakak2 mahasiswa cowok yang nunggu. ganteng sih!). Gue langsung telpon nyokap dan doi bilang lagi jalan. Gue pun nunggu di parkiran sambil main hp (jewell quest). Setelah 45 menitan lah gue nunggu, nyokap dateng. Kita makan bentar, trus pulang.

Kesimpulannya, gue mau minta doa nih. Semoga aja hasilnya bagus dan gue bisa lolos tahap ini. Karena pas di wawancara tadi dosen yang satu (dosen pengujinya 2) bilang 'kalo untuk jadi guru, saya suka sama tipe kayak kamu. serius dan punya visi misi ke depan'. Semoga aja kata-katanya bisa mengantar gue lolos. Amin.

Ah-niwaaay...segitu aja yaa...Thanks for reading this. Hope y'all enjoy and keep reading my blog. Link yaa...thx.

Try to be Ready Even I'm Not Ready Yet

ARRRGGGHHH!!!

Gue pusing! Baru sadar gue ternyata selama ini gue belajar ga dapet apa-apa. Cuma dapet tugas, omelan, tugas lagi, omelan lagi, ulangan dan bla bla bla. Ga penting itu semua.

Sekarang, gue yang ada bingung. Merasa gue membutuhkan lebih banyak keberuntungan dalam hidup gue. Kenapa? Karena tanpa keberuntungan yang lebih besar dari sekarang kemungkinan gue mendapatkan apa yang gue mau cuma... 5% mungkin? Even worse. Whatev!

Oke, gue bakal kasih tau apa yang bikin gue butuh keberuntungan lebih. Besok SIMAK UI. Tau lah, event besar-besarannya UI yang digelar serentak di beberapa kota untuk menyeleksi anak2 SMA yang segitu maunya masuk UI. Tapi gue, yang termasuk dalam anak2 SMA yang segitu maunya masuk UI, sampe sekarang belom nguasain 1/2 dari materi yang kira-kira bakal keluar di SIMAK. And what am I doing now?

Sekarang gue masih di depan laptop. Nge-post ini sambil ngecek Facebook gue. Dan kayaknya bentar lagi gue mau buka Youtube. ARGH! I'm insane! I know. Gue merasa besok udah kayak apa ya?? Nggak ngerti lah gue.

Intinya, gue cuma bisa pasrah sama Tuhan. Entah apa yang Dia rencanakan biarlah terjadi sama gue. Karena gue yakin, apa yang Dia pilihin buat gue itu satu-satunya yang terbaik. Gue udah nggak bisa ngapa-ngapain lagi. Walau kalo di pikir-pikir gue agak nggak tahu diri juga sih kalo gue cuma bisa pasrah tanpa usaha (well, menurut gue, gue udah usaha semampu gue untuk menaklukan itu soal2 mat yang amit2). Tapi seenggaknya gue udah bisa mengira2 kemampuan gue deh.

Gue nggak mau ngoyo karena kalo gue ngoyo, gue bakal mental breakdown banget saat tau gue nggak keterima. gue hanya bisa ya, gini. bersyukur, berusaha baru berdoa. kata orang itu cara orang sukses bekerja. yah entahlah. mungkin emang bener kali. jadi gue coba aja.

Just wish me luck with my test tomorrow. even if i'm not pass it trough.

so, jaa...
