Eternal debt.

Never in a million time i could ever pay you for everything you've done for me. It's something i could never imagine how miraculous it was for both of you to raise me. Thankyou will never be enough. I'm truly sorry if i sometimes hurt your feeling acting rascally. I'm sincerely asking forgiveness for not being there with either each of you to celebrate this special day of yours. I feel guilty for letting you be alone on this day. Tell me what should i do 😭

It's really unimaginable how time flies now you gain another age and I'm loosing another chance to be with you. I'm selfishly pursuing what i think will make me happy and forgetting what will make you happy, perhaps just a call is not enough. God, it hurts me so much. Knowing the truth, but i really don't know how to react.

Happy birthday papa mama.

I wish we could be together right now :')

#VitasExchangLife - Temples in KL

I know... I know it's soooo lateeeeeee..... But better late than never, right? haha so classic! Well well, it has been 2 months now since I'm back in Indonesia, the very own country of mine~ Well, yeah I still living in the past right now hahaha No, I don't betray my own words that I love Indonesia, now. It's just you know, sometimes when I bumped to friends during the exchange's chats it just makes me even more desperately want that life back hahaha screw you greedy one! I'm so happy that it actually happened in my life. I could feel the difference now, the old Vita and the new Vita, wow there is so much gap just between in a person's personality that could happen just because of what happened in 5 months. I'm so proud to declare that I actually turn into a better one! Like literally better. I speak up for my self since remembering the past I always save my own opinion just for me, so selfish, I even stand on the Climate Change action hahaha for you who follows me on my other social media, you might know that and got surprised that oh this girl, she changed into a sudden climate activist I bet you it will just stay for a short period of time haha I don't oppose that! Me myself a bit worried about that, it's not because I'm pessimistic about that, it's just because we know nothing about what will happen in the future, right? I'm being realistic now. Then, it has been 5 weeks since my first class started and up until now I still faithful with my own promise to myself that  have to study each subject every night before the subject starts the next following day, yay! what an achievement! I actually have kept this promise since I was a kid, but it just stayed for the first week. So, it's a normal thing for me to be proud of it hahaha this girl is being over-proud right now, somebody has to stop her!!! Well, back to the topic, the exchange life. hmmm.. How I miss the life there.. the people.. the moments.. the parties.. the um.. the love.. hahahah well I'll breakdown all of them one by one! Don't worry, but just you have to worry about when will I write about all of them ahahaa because you know as I committed to be more diligent now so I might have just a little time to write now, and besides I'm so lazy hahah yep that one still stays with me.

Back then when I was still in Malaysia, my friends and I we visited a lot of temples, just simply because first we are tourists well at least in Malaysia, then because temple is one Malaysia's cuture, since you know it has three different major races, Malay, Chinese, and Indian. Most of the temples that we visited were Hindu's temple, which means belong to the Indian.

The first temple was shockingly an unexpected Chinese temple that we passed by on the way to the Hindu temple. Hmm... Well pardon this old lady here who cannot remember the name of the temples, since it happened in our very first week in KL.. So this is my effort to tell you guys, I am right now opening the map that we used when we were new tourists in Malaysia just to find out the names.. well here they are.

Guan Di Temple according to this very useful map, it was built in 1888. Guan Di itself means God of War. The God's of war was China's greatest warrior. However as I said before, that we just passed by the temple, we took a few pictures in front of the temple, then we continued to our main purpose,

the Sri Mahamariamman Temple still according to the map it was built in 1873 so it is older than the Guan Di Temple. Constructed by Thamboosamy Pillai originally as a private shrine and opened to public for the first time in the 1920s. As I said before, it is a Hindu temple with carvings of Hindu deities. Lord Ganesha, Lord Muruga, Lord Siva, and Goddess Lakshmi.

Both of the temples are located in The Historical Centre of Chinatown, so all of them are in walking distance, and there are other temples as well like Guan Yin Temple and Chan See Shue Yuen but unfortunately we didn't visit the two temples. To reach this area you can just simply take LRT to Masjid Jamek station or Pasar Seni station whichever you prefer, because both of them are still in walking distance and a lot of attractive touristic place to visit as well along the way.

Next one, the famous Batu Caves. This Batu Caves temple is actually located in a cave that's why I think they named it Batu Caves, where Batu means rocks in Bahasa Melayu as well as in Bahasa Indonesia. It's really famous, that's our main reason to visit it. The gold.. I'm sorry I don't know the detail about this temple, you can use technology, ask the help from google about it haha Just to reach this temple you need longer time because it's located out of KL, but you can still use the public transportation easily to get there. In my case, we depart from our lovely KK10 to LRT Universiti Station and took the LRT to KL Sentral station where you need to interchange to KTM to Batu Caves. Easy, right? yeah your welcome.

That's all the temples that we visited in KL, but I still have a lot more temples that we visited but in other cities or country, just wait for the next blog post, okay?

Seize The Day

I found this line from a poem by a. Latin poet, Horace is essential in my life "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today, because tomorrow may never come." In other words, carpe diem! Live the moment! Don't ever give a fuck about what people say, it's your life, you live it for your ass not theirs, why cares?

I said, I found it essential is because it reflects my two ways of life. I sometimes do my best for what I am doing, but sometimes I procrastinate the thing that I'm doing. But anyway, I know me myself just like you know yourself, I know that I'm capable to work under pressure, that's what give me supports to do the thing that I do. I'm not you, you're not me, why should I listen to you, why should you listen to me, ay? So the point is, know yourself.

The Beginning Of The Journey Of Finding Myself

Been one day since the SYLC 3.0 finished. It was the very first conference that I attended and I could tell it was the great one. I joined AIESEC last 13th of February, through a very long journey yet exciting one, so basically this conference was part of the probation time for the new members of AIESEC Surabaya. It was held for 3 days, tiring yet unforgettable. There, I met a lot of inspiring people, I learned a lot of new things, I discovered my hidden ability that has been hiding for so long, and I found peace within myself.

I realized that I belong to Indonesia, my sense of belonging of Indonesia has been awaken through this conference. I have responsibility to change this country as one of its youth.

I really appreciate the time I spent at the conference, thanks to all of the CC for arranging such wonderful event that had really big impacts for all of the delegates, especially me.

Well, world welcome the new me.

#VitasExchangeLife - KLCC x Chinatown

The second day spent by going to the famous twin tower and Chinatown!! More new friends at the second day. Ayaka Isono the Japanese girl as the tour leader for this trip, she has been in Malaysia for a semester so she knows the area better than us. Kanata and Hideyuki, i met them for the first time. First trip with Chloé, first time meeting Kanata and Hideyuki the Japanese brothers -no they are not brother, just that they are going everywhere always together so i named them Japanese brothers hahaha- and Lisa Lee a Taiwanese girl. We started the day by meeting at the dormitory cafetaria, went to the universiti station by 3 taxis. i had my first lrt experience today, i bought the coin from the machine. so cool! we don't have it in Indonesia -_- but now i upgraded to the card so bye bye coin :p

#VitasExchangeLife - Midvalley Megamall

The first day in KL spent by going to the mall. My cousin in Indonesia commented on my activity on path "Vita always visit the mall no matter where..." hahaha We went to Midvalley megamall, they said it is the closest mall to our dormitory. I went there with Mbak Vina, Mbak Citra, Mbak Bonti, Mas Azro, Mas Ghanes, Disky, Petrina, Ching Hui, Kiyomi, and Neary. Still with the Indonesian dominated the group :p We took bus to get there, i didn't remember the bus number from Universiti station to Midvalley, because since then i never took bus to midvalley anymore, we only take Taxi from now on because we don't have to change vehicle or something if we take bus. The thing that i remember is we changed bus twice in order to get there. The best thing that i like about Malaysia is the public transportation compared to Indonesia -_-

One Step Outside the Comfort Zone

A little bit late kinda post... I know... but it is better late than never right? :D

I don't know where to start... A lot of things happened for me this past two weeks. A lot of wonderful joy excitement oh I can't even describe it, but you know everything needs sacrifice. I need to postpone my graduation one semester, I have not to meet my family in 5 months, my friends. I miss them so much, but this is not what i want to talk about. But everything has their own price, i paid, i get what i want.

I met a lot of new, friendly, lovely, and all of those kind things also priceless experience anything can't buy here.. Here? Where? So here we go... let the story begins.

Vita, Mbak Vina, Mbak Vidya, Mbak Citra at T2 Juanda Int'l Airport

August 29, I arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2, Malaysia with 6 other friends from Universitas Airlangga for exchange program. Finally God!! I've been dreaming of having exchange program since forever and dream comes true. Alhamdulillah. Right after landed we met student helpers from University Malaya and others exchange students from South Korea. To be honest, the first few hours I arrived at KLIA2, I felt really strange. They speak several different language; English, Malay, Indian, no one speak Indonesian moreover Javanese except my friends and I. So I know this is how jetlag feels.

The-so-nowadays-kind-of-photos. Pardon my big hands :p

After i arrived at the dorm, i started doing well, I started to speak. I met my roommate! This is my first time sharing bedroom with other people, i never slept with anyone since kindergarten. My roommate is from Taiwan, Liao Ching Hui, she said her english name is Stacy, but i like to call her by her Chinese name or Cece (older sister in Mandarin) because she is older than me rather than calling her by her english name, because her Chinese name was given by her parents while her english name was given by her teacher... Come on.. She is a really older-sister-kind person. She takes care of me, reminds me of every little things, even she always asked me, why don't you pray? and i said i'm on my period, Eventhough we have different faith she still reminds me of it, one night we went to chinese street food, then i asked her what's this food because it was written on mandarin, she said it is pork, you can't eat it. Omg i'm so touched! Even i wanna cry now when i write this post :') but i won't! she's here with me hhaha

My dorm room with my roommate in one picture. Forgive me Cece :p

At the same night when i arrived at the dormitory, I met a Cambodian girl her name is Neary. A calm person, love to laugh to everything, she always following me to everywhere haha only last night she didn't come with me to the nightmarket because she had a call with her friend. Tonight, i ate at her room, she offered me food, and i was so hungry so i just eat it hehe thanks big sister who is more little than me. Neary is my next-door-neighboor at the dorm, her roommate is a Japanese girl, Kiyomi Shirozu. A very cute girl! She likes to say Sugoiii! (it means splendid in Japanese) and we like to imitate her and clap our hands :D

The next day, I met a Switzerland girl, Chloé Godon. She is really like my older sister. I follow her everywhere. We travelled together around KL with other friends, even I went to a Japanese Festival only with Chloé at Shah Alam, we didn't know that Shah Alam is actually outside KL :'D but it was a good memory. Chloé said "ei, Vita I am going to a Japanese festival in Malaysia with an Indonesian friend." and I was like "ay, Chloé you're right. How so tourist we are now." hahaha but luckily we met Hideyuki Kawano and Kanata Suzuki at the station when we arrived at Shah Alam. Yay! We met our Japanese friends. Kiyomi introduced us to Hide and Kanata a few days before. The best thing of the trip to the Japanese festival is the free shuttle bus. Not only it was for free, but also a very luxurious shuttle bus! The first time for me to get on 2 floored bus, and you know it was so Sugoi! felt like private vehicle. We met a chinese local boy named Winson. He was going to the Japanese festival too. But then we never met him again after the farewell on the bus.

The orientation day came. I met even a lot more of friends. I can even mention their name one by one. We speak different languages, we usually don't eat the same thing back to our countries, we have different cultures, we also age different but the best thing here is we all are the same. Exchange students first semester of Malaya University.  I will always remember you all dear friends.

The orientation day wefie with roommate!

University of Malaya Exchange Programme Student :p

I am already at the first week of the school day. Huff, a lot of things to do only in order to get the courses. I originally took only two courses; Chinese Cultural Society in Southeast Asia and Adolescent Psychology but then i took two more courses; Modernisation Process of Korea and An Introduction of Indian Civilization but then i dropped the Indian Civilization today, because it taught in Malay language. I can understand what the lecturer said, but i'm worried of the presentation task. I'm not able to speak Malay language -_____- So, bye Mr. Rajantheran hehe

Oh well during my 12 days here I learned that umbrella, mineral water, small towel, and hand fan are the things that must be in your bag everyday! Why umbrella? you never know when it's going to rain, besides it is so hot here so the umbrella can also be used to block the sunlight. Let's see how good i can do to manage my days here. Ciao!
