Hi 2020! | Life Updates


We’ve come to February 2020! Can I say “time flies” ? So how is life everyone? Please don’t say 2020 isn’t being nice to you. There must be something that let you grow to be a better version of you. 2020 is still on going too so why don’t we just enjoy the ride? It’s easier said than done, am I right? But nothing wrong comes from being positive. Let’s just do our best. Ok?

How should I describe my 2020? I can say that January 2020 was an empty month for Mind BoX. I didn’t post anything about my January here because back then I was pretty much occupied with #30haribercerita challenge on Instagram. So yeah, eventhough I posted nothing here I posted 30 posts on my IG account for the whole month. It was a nice experience. I enjoyed it for real. But I won’t upload a post each day ever again. It’s just too overwhelming. I want to go back to my sanctuary, Mind BoX. Hopefully, I can post 1 new writing each week. Please be consistent za!

January 2020 was also a turning point for me. I faced so many changes in my life. I got a new job as an English teacher in a startup company. Working there is no joke! I had to adapt really soon so I could work well. There are so many things about the system that  I have to learn and understand in a very short time. I was indeed overwhelmed in the beginning. My day to day life now is full of tech and my office whatsapp groups. Thank God, I’m not alone in this journey. I meet a lot of new friends who are on the same boat. We help each other when time gets really hard. I’m deeply grateful for having them to save me when my head is about to blast.

My new job made me have to move out from my parents’ house. That’s another surprise that happened to me in January 2020. When I’m already used to slow-pace life my city has, when I’m already close to my parents again, I have to move to a new place which is 3 hours away from my home. Can you guess where it is? Another adaptation time for me because I’ve never been living there. Well I used to stay there when I was a kid but it was like years ago. Is this what they call as ‘out of comfort zone’? I don’t mind living by myself again. I’ve always been an independent girl. I even looked forward to gain my freedom again. It was just the city that now I live in is very different in terms of culture, people, lifestyle, and demographic from the cities I’ve been to. It’s like I’m going to a great unknown. I was pretty anxious with this idea of living in a new city. But again Bad things only exist on my mind. Reality is never that bad. Miraculously I adapted just fine. The people are very nice so I feel safe there. The food is totally okay too. So starving in never an issue. Alhamdulillah...

Eventhough I’m a stranger in this new city, I don’t feel I’m out of place at all. There are a lot of people whom I can relate myself to. Most food sellers here are Javanese. They speak Javanese with me so I feel like I’m in Java. Some of my colleagues used to study in Malang and Java too. When we have conversations we sometimes recall our good old days. Thank God, at least I don’t feel like a foreigner here. When I was in Ubud and Jimbaran, I felt like I was a stranger in my own country and that was the worst feeling I’ve ever had.

So yeah, that’s all about my life updates in the beginning of 2020. I’m looking forward to have more new experiences so I have more stories to tell. See you in the next post. I’ll do my best to be consistent on writing here. Have a good day everyone!

Ceritaku di Bandara Juanda #KKN

Malang, 24 Agustus 2013 Mungkin apa yang aku ceritakan di sini menjadi pengalamanku yang pertama dan terakhir. Sebulan lamanya aku berada di tempat itu. Selama itu pula banyak hal-hal baru yang ku hadapi. Ya, pengalaman KKN atau bisa dibilang pengalaman magangku di Bandar Udara Internasional Juanda menjadi satu kenangan tak terlupakan yang ku alami tahun ini. Siapa yang menyangka mendapat kesempatan magang di Bandara Juanda akan membuka mataku seperti apa dunia lain itu. Hari Senin tanggal 01 Juli 2013, secara resmi aku telah masuk ke dunia kerja bersama dengan teman-temanku yang lain. Gedung Angkasa Pura I Bandara Juanda menjadi saksi bisu perjuangan kami menyelesaikan mata kuliah KKN. Awalnya nervous saat berada di gedung itu untuk pertama kalinya. Takut jika aku akan melakukan kesalahan di hari pertama. Tetapi saat berada di sana, takjub juga rasanya. Hari itu untuk pertama kalinya aku melihat deretan-deretan pesawat besar yang parkir di gedung AOB. Yea,,,that was my first
