Perspectives

"If it doesn't do you any good, why holding on? Move on!" Uhuh I was writing my blog assignment on my other blog just now, no it's not that I betray you bloggie "sometimes things are not like what it seems." you understand right? hahaha well nah it is just an academic blog made by my university for each of its students, I just write there sometimes (if i have assignment that i have to post there :)))) so don't you worry bloggie, I will still and always be faithful with you, it's been 4years and more since the first time I made you. Uhuuu i'm so easy to get distracted hahaha so back to what i wanted to write, that first quote I wrote in this post, I found it as the header of my academic blog. I barely remember why at that time I put that as the header on my academic blog, it should be sound more academic than it is since it's an academic blog, ay? such as "don't look back at history since it would do you harm." perhaps? hahaha ewww it sounds so cheesy anyway. So so so back again to the topic. It's just give me an "injection" to write tonight. You know what, when you are saying some motivational words, it is not as easy as when you say it, you know what i mean? The point that I want to say for this post is that more likely to don't judge people easily from what they do or say. I take my case for the example, I wrote that motivational sentence as the header of my blog, it doesn't mean that I am successfully moved on, yet me myself is sometimes still struggling on forgetting someone or not to overthink about such unimportant things that do not do me any good at all, I am a human, she is a human, he is a human, they are human, we are all human. Nobody's perfect. We made mistakes. When we talk about mistakes itself, we cannot easily judge that a mistake is always bad, not every beautiful thing for example is good, right? Banana for example, I loooove it so much, for me that's like a splat from heaven, but there must be someone at the other hand hate it as it is slimy and textured like baby's food for example. See, it's all just about perspective. Try to judge as objective as possible. because at the end it's not the mistake that matters but the way he/she admit the mistake he/she made and how can he/she learns from the mistakes he/she has made. Our task is to help them to get better.
It relates me to the newest issue happened in Indonesia, about a just-graduated-from-high-school-young-girl who acted brutally against a police officer, I mean I don't know how did she act, but according to the news that I read, it says that she did it brutally. So sorry if i make mistake in re-telling this story. She just lost his father after the incident because a lot of people bullied her through social media for what she has done. His father got a sudden heart attack when he read the critics over her daughter that lead him to death. See, now who's the villain? The girl who acted brutal or you guys that bullied her until she lost her father? You just killed someone. According to Aristotle's theory about Eudemonism ethic, think twice before you do something, whether it will bring you any good or bad.

Wasteful Attempt

Ali bin Abi Thalib once said "No need to explain to people about yourself, because those who like you don't need that and those who hate you won't believe that."
Well, it's enough that you know yourself.

Be Independent

I got a slap on my face today. Well not as literally a slap but you know. You know what, don't you ever rely on someone. First, because the only one you can rely on is only yourself. Second, when the person you tought you can rely on doesn't actually can be counted on, you'll get disappointed. Be Independent lah, the Malay said with their accent.
Really, i'm telling you the truth! Learn to live alone, it is less drama. You still need to socialize but don't ever put your comfort zone on them, because they can sometimes take it away without any prior notifications and without even they realize.

#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.

The Whispers of The Night Wind

The bed feels much bigger eventhough we never slept on the same bed
There are no arms wrapping around to keep me in peace inside the uncertain wild dreams of mine
I miss the breathe of yours that I usually listen to when I was awaken by the nightmares to bring me back to sleep
If only I can rewind the time so I can feel the soft hands caressing my head, the beautiful lips that were together smiling with the brown eyes after giving a soft kiss
It feels different without you
