All Things Around University (First Impression)

It's my first blog post on my blog. I just want to write and share anything in my daily life. This is my first year in university. I take English major in the Faculty of Languages, so I just need a media to write my ideas or what I want to share in English, hopefully I can study harder and improve my skill as well.

Now, here's what I feel about university's life...

I have been so hung up on cricket related things that I have neglected to inform about university. University is the hub of clubs, societies, and fun/crazy/weird groups. It is also the place I go to learn. I am not part of the crazy groups as I tend to stray from weirdness. Funny that! It's just that I find it too much to have to force myself to socialize with people. If I have to force myself, then it's not really right or should I say natural and chances are I probably am not meant to befriend that person. But there are some people that I've met that I don't need to force myself to talk to and that conversation flows really well with. The whole freak of new people is such a daunting figure that it makes you seem so small and yet, this image of smallness is so real.

Lectures were tough but I think I've got the skill of note taking now. I find it hard to stay awake in my early morning, 7am, lectures. But the aid of the bright lights in the lecture room cures that. It is at my 1pm/5pm lectures that I find it hard to stay awake because the room is relatively dark. Quizzes are freaking me out. I am not sure about how much I am suppose to study and not, thus this first quiz will prove to be a bit of an indication of how I am going. So I'll have to give you the score on that. The thing I fear the most about university is the loss of personality. Coming from a place where my personality was so known and so recognized to a place where no one cares about who I am, what I like makes me feel like just another face in the crowd and I hate that feeling. I hate the impersonality of lecture rooms. That is why tutorials are much better and gradually in time, I'm sure my tutorial classes with get much better acquainted with each other.

More Than Just Petals: Flower Arranging is My Happy Place

Hey there, flower lovers! As someone who absolutely adores flowers, I wanted to chat a bit today about something that brings me so much joy. It's flower arranging! Seriously, my happy place involves a vase and some fresh blooms. Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't it just, like, sticking flowers in a vase?" And while, yes, that's technically part of it, there's so much more to it than meets the eye. It's a creative outlet, a mood booster, and honestly, a pretty skill to have in your back pocket.

The Music-Obsessed Kid in Me Finally Got Her Wish

My earliest memories are steeped in music, all thanks to my mom. Actually she's a classical guitar player, and I can still picture her when her fingers dancing on the fret-board. She was the first person to teach me how to play guitar when I was just in elementary school. There's something beautiful and pure about the way she plays. As I grew older, my fascination with music just expended. I was itching to learn more! I remember practically begging my parents for classical music lessons especially the violin and the piano. Unfortunately, life had other plans, We had just moved into a new house, and our savings were dedicated to school and settling in, so lessons just weren’t in the budget at that time. Honestly, though, it was fine. When I was in junior high, my dad surprised me with a keyboard. I dove right into learning it, and I've loved having it.

My Experience Visiting Borobudur

Borobudur temple is one of the premier tourist objects in Indonesia. Several years ago I decided to go to Yogyakarta as a destination for cultural tourism. I had the opportunity to get into Keraton Yogyakarta, it's such a priceless experience. Then I scheduled a visit to Borobudur and Prambanan temples. My experience visiting Borobudur temple was quite exciting. From Yogyakarta I headed to Borobudur in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel. Borobudur is located about 40 km from the city of Yogyakarta or about 100 km from Semarang. Administratively Borobudur including the district of Magelang, Central Java. So many people thought that Borobudur is located in Yogyakarta, it is actually located in Magelang.
