Can Dream Make You Eternal?

Yes it can.

When you dream and somehow you can make it happens..ideas and value of how you make your dream happens will make you, not physically, eternal.

So dream, big.

Being An Intern

Hello again,
I'm sorry for lack of updates, I've been busy with my internship report.

So, I'm back in town. I have had finished my internship on October 19th, and been busy with the report since. As I told you in my two previous posts, I did an internship at BALIFOKUS for one month, and I enjoyed it very much. I got the best work partner that I could ever ask for :P her name is Luh Putu Kusuma Ririen, she's the best. She's so kind, fun, youthful and has this unlimited knowledge, you can ask her everything hahaha, I feel so lucky to have her as my work partner. Okay, enough said about her. I’m going to tell you about my experience of being an intern.

For your information, I’m a type of person that not really good at communicate with new people, I feel more to scared to start this internship than feel excited like I SHOULD. So, on the first day I still feeling nervous and scared. I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help it. This is my first time to walk on a REAL job world. It scares the hell out of me. But I cannot stay like that for the rest of the month so I decided to be more relax. Thank God apparently I'm interning in the right company. I was so lucky be an intern at BALIFOKUS. You know the nightmare situation that interns can find themselves in is sitting at a desk in a large office, being referred to as “the intern” and not being introduced to anyone? I did not get that treatment. They introduced me formally to every staffs and they treated me as if I'm one of them, an employee. All of them were extremely welcoming and helpful, I'm feeling like I become one of a family member. I want to thank the entire staff in the BALIFOKUS for taking the time to share their expertise and knowledge for me. It was through these times that I felt I was able to learn about NGO things. And the staff was most responsive to my requests and always made me feel like a family. I have gained valuable things about NGO and development in the past one short month.

Because BALIFOKUS gave me the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, I had the chance to observe numerous aspects, the experience was more than I could have expected. This internship has definitely increased my interest in pursuing my future career in NGO.

me and BALIFOKUS staffs

I had a blast one month, fulfilled with numerous new experiences and knowledge, and working in a good company can add new experience on my CV/resume. I also am getting ready to enter the job market. I had a lot of fun, made new friends and the experience to be able to live in Bali for one whole month was a spectacular experience. I mean, new culture, even language, new places, beaches, temples, oh my oh my I LOVE BALI!! :) I have learnt a lot; about real job world, about life, about nature, about work ethics, about professionality, about friendship, about this, that, and everything else. This is not just an internship, this is such a life changing experience for me.

It's a new experience for me to be an intern for NGO and I’m ended up with a conclusion that it's not so easy being an intern. NOPE, it ain't that easy people! I mean, you have to try your best to get what you want and what you deserve. Whatever it is, it’s obviously good to think it through, and know what you are looking for. You are far more likely to get what you want if you define it in your own mind first and act accordingly. To be able to experience the difference between working and student life is a precious thing, I'm telling you. You have to gain it, not easily get it.

If you want to be an intern, take the effort to find a great company to do be intern in, and fight like a tiger to get in. And once you got in, bring out the best in you. Good luck.

Cheers,
S

Moving Out

Yes, this is actually happening.

Long before I went to Bali for the internship, my family was planning to move out. But, not really have pack all goods and other preparations. And after I went to Bali, about two and a half weeks I was in Bali, my family had actually moved out to a new house.

This made me sad, actually, very sad. I cannot help them with moving out things and all the preparations, which is very inconvenient like packing and unpacking. And it's becauseI had an internship. It’s like choosing between things you want to do and things you have to do. I tried not to think much about it and trying to finish the internship. I also had to apologize to my family for not being able to give any help. Maybe you think this is a simple, but it really made me sad.

And this morning, my mother text me something like: "Kiddo, last night we were all completely occupy the new home, hopefully this step will be the best for the future and get the blessing of God, Amen."


Aaaaah I miss them soooooooo bad :'(

Alone Is NOT Lonely

Hello!
Since I've been doing an internship, I have no time on weekdays..so today, this Saturday, I decided to have an adventure. And, since I'm alone here, I did the adventure all by myself. I rent a motor bike and drove all the way. It's not like I never traveling alone before, in fact I really enjoy traveling alone. But I certainly never am traveling alone around Bali. I have NO IDEA about the route. I count my life on Google Maps.

On Friday, I have decided 4 destinations that I will visit today. Those are Sanur beach, Garuda Wisnu Kencana, Dreamland, and Discovery Mall (the last destination is made due to shopping thirst, lol). At every destination people keep asking me the same question, like, "Are you alone, miss?" or even worse, "Are you really alone miss? Nobody wants to accompany you? Don't you feel lonely?" Well NEWS FLASH, there's a fine line between being alone and being lonely. I'm alone, but not lonely. I enjoy traveling alone. It gives me adrenaline, courage, confident and I LOVE IT. But it's not possible for me to tell every single person about that so I leave them alone with their thoughts, I really don't care :)

Oh anyway cut the crap and like I always believe, picture speaks louder than words :)

First, Sanur Beach. I went there to enjoy sunrise but I got there lil bit late so the sun has already rise up :





Oh this is a funny sculpture I saw around Sanur


2nd destination, Garuda Wisnu Kencana :




3rd destination, Dreamland :



I just took few photos in Dreamland because my electronic devices; cell phones and camera, were running out of battery. Sigh, happens all the time. I didn't even take any photos at Discovery Mall *sigh*

So, if you never travel alone, I'd say : TRY IT SOMETIMES. You will suprise with what you're gonna get. At first you may be like little confuse, don't know what to do, where to go, or who to speak, but you'll find your own way. I dare you! :)

I hope you enjoy your weekend like I do.


Love,
S

A Hello From Bali

Hey there!
I've been doing an internship at Bali Fokus Foundation for one and a half week now and I only had weekend to take a ride. This is first destination, Kuta :)

I went there to enjoy the sunset. And actually because I don't know any where else to go (I don't know any route). Aaaaaand, I made friends with foreigners from Switzerland. They were all nice, awesome and not to mention gorgeous :) We're hanging out and stuffs and ended up watching Manchester United's EPL match together. I enjoyed the night very well.

Well, I hope you enjoy your days




Love,
S

YELL-O!

First post!! Yay! :D

Finally I decided to post something since I made this blog in 2008. I used to have a blog but I forgot the username and password haha so I just made a new one but never post anything. I know people are up to Tumblr nowadays but who cares I'm still with you, blogspot! (but maybe, I'll make a Tumblr too later, who knows huh? :p).
So first post...hmmm...do I have to introduce myself or something? Here we go..

You can just simply call me S
I am now 21 years old and (still) love to play, to write, read, listen to music, boring, boring, boring...Oh, I stalk people, I do bite, I LOVE photography (everybody does), taking photos or being in a photo, sarcastic is my middle name (or first? hm), I'm a professional daydreamer, a fulltime reader. I'm an autodidactic type of girl. I enjoy learning more when I'm not told what to learn. Too, way too in love with David Beckham.

There's some people who thinks I'm weird and frankly, I know and I do realized that I'm quite different with most of my friends, and seriously I like it that way. It's just me being ME, and if it's weird then so be it! :)

So, welcome readers! Enjoy my blog!
