What a life?

 
I don't know what's going on my life. Suddenly I'm here in Budapest, Hungary. I could say that it's a blessing in disguise. Yes, my dream is travelling to Europe. Now, here I am. Travelling to other countries in European Union is getting closer right now. What a life. When I had a chance to go to USA, I was thinking oh come on, I don't have any idea about America why should the chance is America instead of Europe. But now, OMG I wanna go back there again. One more time. Can I?
 
Anyway, Today is exactly one week I've been staying in Budapest. What am I doing here? It sounds funny if I say having English class with children and share about Indonesia. But, I'm working on it. Every day, Monday to Friday I go to Derkovits Primary School to take the classes. For this week I've taught kids from 4th grades to 8th grades. Isn't it fun?
 
I'm joining the AIESEC program, it's a platform for young people all around the world to develop and discover their potential. We are doing a project as a model to train ourselves. My project is sharing about Indonesia to this primary school. What about Indonesia? I was sharing to kids about Indonesia's biodiversity, our richness, our weather, culture, food, flag, religion, and so for this week. I'm so happy because the kids interested in what I'm saying. They were curious and asked me so many questions. They even curious about me. Sometimes I never think about it. For examples, what's my favorite color? what's my favorite subject? what's my favorite animals and who's my favorite actor?  Seriously I never prepare myself to answer this kind of question.
 
So, now I have green as my favorite color, Biology and History for my favorite subjects, bear for favorite animal, and Angelina Jolie for my favorite actress. Hahaha..
 
Besides that, here I make new friends also. We are working in the same program. There are Rachel and Barbara from Brazil, Jessica from Chile, Shirin from Malaysia, Kareem and Tarek from Egypt, Fatima from Somalia, Dori and Kornell from Hungary. Oh yes, we are usually go out somewhere to discover Budapest.
 
I have five weeks more to go in Budapest. I'll share my experiences here. Yup.

    Life is amazing, isn't it? So much fun and surprise.
    I really envy of you Ubo. You travel and play with the kids - best combination I can ever imagine. I am waiting for a lot of stories of yours. Hehehe
    And I hope you can find someone there, just like you said before you went to the US almost 2 years ago, " I've travelled around Indonesia but still can't find someone, maybe I need to go to the US." And now you're in Europe. That's amazing Ubo..
    God bless you always.

    Yes, because of it I don't know what my destiny is. Life is just unpredictable. Kids they are awesome, our new generation. They better learn everything since they are young.

    That's true mba. I thought that I've met someone when I was in US, apparently I'm wrong. hahaha.. don't know bout this either. I just sometimes think that I need to find someone to travel with me, eaa.. :)
    It's always nice to chitchat with you, hope you have a good day :)

    Never heard ab AIESEC program. Tapi tentunya ada banyak program beredar. Semoga semakin banyak orang Indonesia yg ngisi form dan ikutan program-program dunia seperti ini. Apalagi kalo ngisinya saat abroad. Kayaknya kesempatannya jadi berlipat. Kayaknya mungkin karena merasa lebih pede. Sukses Ubo untuk jalan-jalannya! Kelak bisa dipraktekin di kampung sendiri.

    Kelak mungkin kita bisa replikasi nih program seperti ini. Khusus antar provinsi aja. Atau antar pulau. Kan beda banget tuh budaya di Sumatera dan Kalimantan. Apalagi di Papua yah. Ayo buat yuk...

Pengalaman Operasi Tulang Hidung Bengkok

Gambar
Pengalaman menjalani operasi/ surgery saya alami untuk kedua kalinya tanggal 18 April kemarin. Wuff lagi-lagi masih berhubungan dengan Telinga Hidung Tenggorokan (THT). Sebelumnya 4 tahun lalu, pada bulan Mei 2009 saya menjalani operasi gendang telinga. Operasi ini dilakukan tidak direncanakan. Waktu itu sebenarnya ayah saya yang sedang dirawat dan saya cuma iseng sekalian periksa telinga karena pilek. Ternyata pas dilihat dokternya, gendang telinga saya sebelah kiri sudah bolong. Dokter menyarankan untuk operasi. Jadilah, besoknya saya langsung masuk ruang operasi.  Narsis di detik-detik mulai operasi, biar semangat. Sejarah penyakit per-THT an saya memang sudah eksis semenjak saya kecil. Saya ingat sejak SD saya bolak balik ke dokter THT langganan di Belitung, Dr. Hendro. Gejala yang saya rasakan macam-macam, kalau dulu masih kecil suka keluar cairan, kemudian serasa tersumbat, tidak seimbang, sampai kurang mendengar. Dimasa kuliah, parahnya ditambah saya alergi, seper...

A Long Road to Get Drivers License in NC

This post is my promise. Whenever I get my driver license I will write the story and share it in my blog. This is a special moment in my life, this is a truly life in U.S.A. So, what does this means? Yeah, finally I got my driver license yesterday, 30-1-2014. I've been waiting for this moment for four months. Actually I have 2 kinds of drivers licenses in Indonesia, car and motorcycle. Driving for me is not a new thing, not a hobby, I drive because I need to drive. Especially in my hometown, Belitung Island, where is rarely people there use public transportation. I don't know how it starts. Is it because of the cost of public transportation is more expensive? Is it public transportation uncomfortable? Is it people just like to drive by themself? Is it faster? What I know is the number of personal motor vehicles are pretty much enough to mobilize people there. Anyway, here I am, I need to have a driver license. A car license. It would be more comfortabl...
