New Friend, New Experience



I met a girl named Neele. She’s from Germany and is currently working in Australia. She constantly loves meditation, healthy food, and sport. Since that day, we were best friends as we shared our cultures, and even personal life. She’s so damn funny as she always made jokes in every situation.
I’m so blessed that we spent time together to do tracking in Sambangan. We had to walk 5 hours to see five waterfalls. We payed Rp.250.000 rupiah per person. We were given chance to see greens, feed cows, and eat cocoa. Moreover, we interacted with local people as we were given a coconut to drink, and a place to play grantangan. Surprisingly, she played grantangan so well. Along the way, we took rubbish as a part of protecting our environment.


She said that meditation can be done in the right place, right time, and right situation. We did it twice as the nature called us in. The meditation was accompanied by a gurgling stream and the song of birds. It was a perfect combination. The sun smiled which it brought a new energy for us. For the first time and I think it’s the last, I did cliff jumping which the high is 5 meters and water-sliding. I was totally afraid but she always encouraged me to believe with myself that I could conquer this. Evntually, I did it but my legs were trembled as I could not get up. She taught me that it is good to respect the danger but don’t let the danger controls our fear.
The next day, we had porridge as our breakfast and she got bali belly in different way. Bali belly is normally caused by consuming contaminated food and water but she got it due to eating a lot of food. In the evening, we celebrated the anniversary of Singaraja as we watched culture parade and 7.000 Balinese dancers danced on the street. That’s hella amazing!
She asked me to come to her house in Germany or come to her apartment in Australia for another experience. If I had had a lot of money, I’d have gone abroad. I’m truly blessed that we’ve met even in a short time. Thanks Neele for the beautiful days we’ve spent. Love form Bali.

Bowling Tournament

The day I had been waiting for so long finally came. Playing bowling after doing teaching practice was a must. This arranged due to public holiday (Agong’s birthday). The most special one was playing bowling with the Top Management of PTSB. They might look old in terms of age but their spirit was not doubted. I was so excited yet nervous because this was my first time. I never did it before, but I had watched how the player played on television. Somehow it looked easy, but when I tried to play it, many troubles came. There were 7 teams and each team consisted of 4 people. My members’ team were Rudi, Haznah, and Puan Liz. It was difficult keeping the ball straight; I had to be focused all the time. Since I didn’t have breakfast, I easily lost the focus but I kept trying hard to get score so my team could be the winner. I did strike once, such a lucky person. As the time went by, finally the score came out. Unfortunately, my team couldn’t be on the top three. It was totally fine at ...

Perginya Hanya Satu Kali Saja, Sanggup?

Susah memang mengubah sesuatu yang mungkin memang harus terjadi. Perpisahan? Sesuatu yang selalu dibenci kedatangannya.  Aku sudah berjuang, aku sudah berusaha. Tetapi usahaku dimatamu tak pernah berarti apa-apa. Apakah aku harus menyalahkan diri sendiri? Kita berbeda dan memang tak harus berjalan beriringan. Perempuan mana yang sanggup bertahan ditengah-tengah pengabaian? Percuma kan apa yang aku perjuangkan ternyata itulah yang kamu abaikan. Aku lebih memilih mundur dan dengan ketidaksiapan aku tetap harus melepasmu.  Mencintai seseorang tidak membutuhkan alasan bukan? Karna ketika kamu mencintai, pikiran rasionalmu tidak kamu gunakan melainkan hati yang beperan. Karena logika selalu kalah dengan perasaan hati, itu yang aku alami. Kau mengacaukan hari-hariku, menggelapkan suasana hatiku. Namun, perlahan keburukan itu bisa aku atasi meskipun butuh waktu. Aku sudah mulai terbiasa tanpa kehadiranmu. Ketakutanku mulai muncul. Aku ingin menghindar tapi aku tak bisa ber...

Minimalism #4

Malam itu, aku terdiam di kamarku yang tidak terlalu besar. Keadaanku baik-baik saja, namun seperti ada yang tidak beres. Entah, aku belum menemukan jawabannya saat itu. Aku menimang-nimang kembali perjalanan yang menghantarkanku ke titik ini. Tidak ada yang keliru, semua tampak normal. Barang-barang di sekelilingku menyeret perhatianku, satu per satu kutatap mereka. Kemudian aku berfikir, keberadaan mereka seharusnya membuatku bahagia, tetapi aku merasakan hal yang berbeda. Aku tidak sesemangat dulu, ketika pertama kali aku menjumpainya. Seperti ada yang mengganjal, tetapi aku tidak bisa mengidentifikasinya. Rasa penasaran ini tidak berhenti begitu saja. Sejak malam itu, aku menyelami google dengan membaca beberapa artikel, dan pengalaman orang-orang. Sekilas, aku sudah terbayang jawabannya. Namun, aku menahan diri untuk tidak terburu-buru karena ini perihal pilihan hidup. Aku tidak menuntut kalian untuk menyukai apa yang kupijaki, ataupun menjadi sama. Aku percaya setiap ora...
