Penang Trip; Bukit Bendera, Penang Art Street, Chew Jetty


Bukit Bendera
          After having scraped schedule in teaching, finally a short trip came. We went to Pulau Pinang (Penang) on Wednesday with the buddies, lecturers, and students of STIM SUKMA Medan. We started the day at 7.30 A.M by having breakfast. Our humble director, Puan Yusma, also joined sitting together with us. The food tasted yummy and the drink as well. They prepared well to make sure our energy is enough since we were going to Penang Hill for hiking, continued to stroll around in Penang Art Street.

Chew Jetty Penang

In Penang Hill, we had to face 1.400 stairs to be not really on top, but to the first point and continued taking Penang Hill Railway, the most popular way to the top of the hill. 1.400 stairs were not easy as we were not climber but being on the first point favorably was awesome even, we almost lost our breath. The stairs can be illustrated by failures. If we want to be on the top, to reach success, we have to face the failures. Yeah, we did it! No matter how long it took, at least we did step by step, stair by stair patiently. How great you are, if you don’t start to climb, you will always be on the bottom. We believe that a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step. We saw breathtaking views and friendly nature along our journey. On the top, we saw many flags of Malaysia as actually this place is called Bukit Bendera. The place was clean and cold. We also tasted the authentic diversity of Malaysian’s cultures by visiting both mosque and Indian temple. The vibes in Penang Art Street was cool. We were surprised when strolling through Gerogetown’s street as the mural art was impressive. We laughed happily as we didn’t let the time stopped us. Even we took many steps, we pretended it was just short since our togetherness was so mean. We took many pictures, for sure, and suddenly forgot how bright the sun was. We also went to Chew Jetty Penang for watching sunset, it is just walking distance, nearby the street art. The sky was beautiful as it welcomed us warmly.

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...
