Mid January 2016

Yesterday was so furious. A bomb (and several other fire shots) blasted in Sarinah and its vicinity. The tension was high, in the noon, however the police managed to calm it down before night.

This week is not as packed as last week. Last week, I had several meetings with Sabang Merauke Raising Awareness Team, Komsos PM XII, meet up with my fellow PM 7 Majene, sharing alumni and Halsel Squad welcoming party. *drained mode on*

This week, I just met several friends and go home early almost everyday.

I went to ATM machine last night and found out that there was a mistransaction which cut my balance off. While the fund was so limited, I haven't got any transferred salary for last month. The TU TA said it will be "dirapel" and transferred along the salary for this month. Hopefully, it will be transferred as early as possible and well. Ameen.

And yeah, the idea of listing my activities hampered my initial ideas to write a note about The Theory of Developed Country by Pak Arief Havas Oegroseno, one of the calibre diplomat of Indonesia. According to my friend, Pak Havas as he always called, though that there are three criteria that a country should pose to be a developed country. At least, a country should pose two out of three criteria to be considered as a developed country. Those criteria are:

1. A small territory
2. Have four seasons
3. Less democratic government.

And yeah, Singapore-China-US (to some extent) fit to these criteria. Haha.

Well, those criteria reminded me of Pak Anies criteria for choosing a job:

1. Socially impactful
2. Intellectually developed
3. Sufficient salary.

If you get an offer from a company or institution, which entails two out of three criteria, then go accept it!

So, this is just a small note from a meeting with my friend.

terima kasih untuk waktu dan traktirannya ya :)

Operasi Abses Kelenjar Bartholini

Assalamu'alaikum wr. wb. Apa kabar kawan2? Semoga selalu dalam keadaan sehat wal afiat serta tetap semangat menjalani aktifitas. Apa kabar saya? Alhamdulillah, keadaan saya hari ini jauh lebih baik dari kemarin maupun beberapa hari yang lalu. Teman2 yang baca postingan saya sebelumnya mungkin telah mengetahui bahwa beberapa hari ke belakang saya menderita suatu penyakit yang membuat saya susah duduk, bangun dan berjalan. Sampai - sampai saya harus masuk UGD untuk disuntik obat penghilang rasa sakit di pantat saking tidak tahannya. Ternyata, setelah pulang dari UGD, obat penghilang rasa sakit itu hanya bertahan satu malam. Keesokan harinya, saya mengalami sakit yang sama. Susah duduk, bangun dan berjan. Terkadang, rasanya perih sekali, sampai-sampai saya menangis karena tidak dapat menahan sakitnya. Namun, karena sudah diberikan salep dan obat penghilang rasa sakit beberapa saat sakitnya mereda. Bahkan dua hari kemudian saya memberanikan diri untuk pergi ke Jurong Point...

6 day to Graduation Day

Salam.... Hey all, what's up? I've been had a great time since my last post about "skripsi". Apparently, I had to work so hard (and so fast) to revise my thesis. Alhamdulillah, I made it on time with satisfactory result :) whilst it was so "rempong" to make a hardcover and get the signatories... The result itself was not a straight A (it was so close, just 0,44 again to get A score), but than it's okay for me. Alhamdulillah :D Ok, so now I am waiting for my convocation day (graduation ceremonial) which will be held 6 days later. Well, I'm not quite enthusiastic about this graduation day, realizing that it is just a ceremonial phase and I have to do "make up", dressing, high-heels-ing, etc. But, I can't deny that I am so happy, trying my "toga" made me just want to cry, feels like this time just run so quick and now I am not an undergraduate student anymore... Yes, I do believe that graduation is not the end. It ju...

Canberra Day 1 #AvinainAussie

 Hi everyone, It's been ages I did not write here. Alhamdulillah, I got accepted at the ANU for PhD in International Relations at the Coral Bell School, College of Asia and Pacific. So grateful for this, I had my family OSHC covered by Bell School, tuition fee covered by HDR Fee Remit Scholarship and stipend provided by Feminist in International Relations scholarship administered by Bell School. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim for the years ahead. Yesterday, 13 February 2025 was my first day landed in Australia let alone Sydney and Canberra. Sydney international airport was not huge, I have to declare everything that listed as prohibited/dangerous items, in my case it was medicine (and honey). Alhamdulillah for the smooth yet very exhausted journey. I landed in Canberra airport on 11.35 noon and was picked up by Natasha, Kang Andri's daughter. She is super cool, an ANU undergrad studying actuarial (wow!). We went to Kebab shop to take lunch, I bought "small" snack pack which...
