Exchange-Life Experience #2

hello again, guys!

Today is Friday and I'm free of teaching. I just came to the school to meet the supervisor for having an easy card to make us easier in paying the public transportation and also the sim card to have a phone number here. The school paid for our easy card but we have to pay by ourselves for the sim card. It cost NTD 299 or it is about 100.000 rupiahs. You know? the process is sooo complicated. You need the passport and need to be above 20, if you don't you have to have a supervisor to supervise you. Also, it needed almost 8 hours for the phone to be active.

I went to the school about 9 o'clock, yaa because I didn't have a class. I took the breakfast around 8.30 and you know.. I changed my menu into burger and I think Taiwan has the best bread ever! It's soooo tasty! I chose beef one. Yah, you should tell the cooker for that because they all here eat pork. For dinner, I eat it around 7 p.m. with the three of us. I got another roommate but different room, only the same dorm. Her name is Chui Nee from Brunei. Fortunately, tonight was not raining so after eating the dinner, we went around to look for the adapter to the electricity. I didn't bring kind of multifunction adapter, so I have to borrow my friend's for charging my laptop. And FINALLY I found it. Thanks Chui Nee anyway. You saved my life! Yah, because she is the only one of us who can speak Chinese. It costs about 34 or something. Yaa it's cheap. After that, we went around the dorm and bought something in the supermarket here. The price there is much cheaper than in Seven Eleven you know. It saved me so much money. Ya, I just don't want my money to run out before I buy the souvenirs. After buying something, we went looking for the stationary, and we found across the road of the dorm anyway and the three of us didn't notice it before. You know, how surprised I am to find Indonesian ketchup and noodle. It is the same! really. They are in Indonesian. I didn't buy it anyway, just bought some kind of crayons for my sister. It costs about 110 NTD or 35.000 rupiahs. Yah just time it with 300 rupiahs.

Now my life is getting completer. I just need my Indonesian friends to come to here. I can't wait for 17th December. I can't stand a lot on having the foreign language. I really want to speak Indonesian anyway :(

Oya, I already had the buddy anyway. Actually my buddy is Chui's buddy also. He is Alex, but he doesn't even know me. Well, just let him be. I don't want to think too much about that. I want to focus on my teaching because the school provide and treat me so well. I have to be a good very good teacher. Lucky me to have some presentations materials on the internet. I hope the students will like it :)

Okay maybe that's all for tonight. Tomorrow I'm having a walk with Anh and Chui to the New Taipei City. I hope it will be great. I really love taking pictures but I don't think that they do. I hope that we can take lots of pictures together there. Let me take a rest today. See you tomorrow, guys! :*

Taipei Day #1

Hello, all..

Long time no blogging. I'm pretty fine here :)

Guess what? I'm in Taipei now. I'm having a project. AIESEC exchange program. I have culture and education project here. I'm actually teaching English and promote my culture here. It's so interesting! A lot!

Yesterday I arrived around 9.20 p.m. in Taiwan time, and I had to wait for my roommate to come. She is Anh, from Vietnam studying in Australia. Then, we went to our dorm and arrived around 11.30 p.m. We just pulled the stuffs out and prepared for sleeping. However, anyway I went to sleep around 1.30 p.m. because I had a conversation first to another roommate from Brunei. We had an interesting chat last night, just some introductions. The weather last night is quite hot inside, but a bit cold outside. I slept with Anh, my roommate, in the same room with air conditioner on. Taiwan is not that cold I thought. LOL

Today I had no teaching in a class, just a little introduction in front of the students. I came to two classes. It's fun even though there is one class where the students can't understand English at all. However, another class was soooo interesting. They understood a lot about what I was talking about. You know? The kids asked me so many questions, sooo many. And the questions were funny. There was a question that I remember the most. It is about my hijab. They keep asking about my hijab. They really want to know what is inside my hijab and why I should wear this kinda thing. They want me to put my hijab off, as well. When I said that I could only put the hijab in front of females, the females just asked the males to go out. LOL! It is so random to wear the hijab here anyway. In addition, they asked me whether I felt hot or not of wearing this, and I said that it is warm :)

And now, in Taiwan here is around 4.22 p.m., just one hour faster than Indonesia. I have just had a rest because today I and my roommate has some problems about the dorm. We just moved to the highest floor which is the third floor, so we had to bring all the luggage up. Moreover, the water is running out, and we have no water till tomorrow. We kept asking and doing some complaints to the school, and how kind of them to handle us well here.

Anyway, we were gonna have an ice skating and a dinner but unfortunately we have not had a card for the public transportation :( so we cancel it and prefer staying in the dorm doing some things, and here I am now :)

Well, I think it's enough for today's blogging. I will do some reports on this blog tomorrow. Keep catching me, guys :)

Nimmy.. Nimby.. I ask your prayers :')

Look at the picture above! It is two of hamsters anyway. The black one is hiding behind the white. They are my new hamsters. It has been about two months being with them. They are the angora whitey and long-haired panda. They are cute, aren't they? Their names are Nimmy and Nimby, almost same with the old ones which are Hammy and Hamby.

Here is their house. Pretty! There is a speedometer on their tread mill.

Nimmy.. Nimmy..

You have been with me for not a short time.

I feed you..

I clean you..

I play with you..

I love you..

Now, please.. Support me..

Pray for me, darling..

You both are my sweethearts.

I love you both.

Motivasi masuk surga: tak ingin hanya menyentuh gambarmu, tapi bercerita sambil menatap dalam matamu dan mengalirkan rindu.. Nenekku syg :">

Ada yang tersesat tak tahu arah jalan pulang. Senyummu tersangkut di ujung pikiranku.

Di kotamu II

Di kotamu, bisikkan rindu berhimpitan bersama hela nafas di atas bibirmu berlomba merasuk perlahan dan mengalir menuju ranum bibirku.

Karya: @pujiananurul

Di Kotamu

Di kotamu, langit menanti kecupan-kecupan kita, tepat di bawah ranum senja.

Di kotamu, rindu akan berlarian mengejar larik-larik awan, melepaskan semua yang atas nama cinta.

Di kotamu, mungkin lampu-lampu jalan terlihat seperti pelita yang berkabut, gigil rindupun tak lagi membuat kita takut.

Di kotamu, rindu adalah gelas-gelas bir yang kedinginan dibawah gerimis, kepul asap rokok yang menjilat langit2 sambil menangis.

Di kotamu, rindu mengalir dari bibirku menuju telingamu, dengan bisikan yang tak mampu didengar malaikat sekalipun.

Di kotamu, rindu hanyalah tilas ciuman yang tak hilang sampai pagi.

Di kotamu, rindu hanyalah harum yang kuhirup dalam-dalam dari kelam rambutmu yang acak-acakan sisa semalam.

Di kotamu, rindu akan kuninabobokkan dengan nyanyian debar jantungmu.

Di kotamu, kita menabuh genderang pesta yang riuh, menunda kesedihan masing-masing.

Di kotamu, aku akan membunuh rindu di sela harum bibirmu yang kupagut perlahan.

Di kotamu, aku akan merekam setiap kedipan matamu, lalu kuingat sampai tertidur.

Di kotamu, para pemburu berlomba mematikan rindu, sementara aku dan kamu saling berbagi ciuman dalam diam.

Di kotamu, aku adalah kekasih yang kehabisan cara untuk berhenti mencintaimu.

Tidak ada yang jauh selama kita masih memandang langit yang sama..

:">

Di kotamu,

Aku titipkan cinta yang tak pernah berbalas

Take it or leave it

Cinta..

Saat pendekatan, mudah mengucapkan kecocokan masing-masing.

Saat putus, mudah mengucapkan ketidakcocokan masing-masing.

Jika pada saat akhirnya mengatakan ketidakcocokan tersebut, mengapa harus terburu-buru untuk memutuskan bahwa kedua jiwa telah saling cocok?

Namun, berapa lama masa pendekatan pun pada akhirnya bukan lah suatu tolak ukur kelanggengan untuk suatu hubungan.

Jadi.. apa yang mendasari kelangsungan suatu hubungan jika begitu adanya?

Mendapatkan itu mudah..

yang sulit adalah mempertahankan.

Setuju.

Sungguh, fisik dan materi bukanlah segalanya.

Keseruan pribadi pasangan adalah penentu kenyamanan seseorang.

Celakalah orang yang tidak memiliki ketiga aspek tersebut.
