I'm leaving Emden

Akhirnya, tiba juga hari dimana aku harus bener-bener ninggalin kamar kesayangan, Kobua, dan Emden..
Pagi itu cuacanya agak mendung.. Sebelum pergi sarapan roti paratha dulu..
Jam setengah 10 siap-siap cabut ke stasiun. Kobua dan Minda mo nganter aku sampe stasiun.
Hiks2.. Sedih juga ninggalin Emden.. Dan mesti pergi sendirian.. :(

Setelah hampir 5 jam perjalanan naek kereta, tiba juga di Mönchengladbach. Tepatnya di salah satu bagian kotanya yg bernama Rheydt (bacanya kayak baca "right").. Di sini aku bakalan tinggal selama 6 bulan.

Begitu sampe Rheydt hbf, lgs jalan kaki ke Marienplatz.. Nunggu bis yang lewat rumah. Abis gak kuat nenteng2 travel bag yang berattt banget ini.
Akhirnya sampe juga di rumah baru.. Sekitar jam 3 sore.

Begitu sampe, ternyata si Sarah (calon housemate ku) ga ada di rumah. Untung ada orang yg mo bukain pintu bawah, jadi aku bisa masuk ke apartmentnya..

Setelah hai hai sebentar.. Trus langsung cabut lagi ke Alice, salah satu internet provider, buat daftar pasang internet.
Agak buru2 soalnya si Sarah mesti pergi kerja sore itu.
Dari sana trus lgs mampir ke supermarket, si Sarah mo beli makanan buat besok (besok hari libur, semua toko tutup).
Begitu dia cabut buat kerja, aku pulang dulu bentar ke rumah naruh barang belanjaan, trus lgs keluar lagi buat beli pembersih dan alat2 untuk bersih2 kamar... Kotor euy kamarnya.. Mesti bersih2 dulu..
Untung ada Lynda yg berbaik hati dateng ke rumah buat bantu ngepel lantai.. :) *makasih Lyn..*

Jam 8 malem, kelar juga beres2 kamar.. Lumayan lah udah layak buat ditiduri..
Tapi karena capek dan males masak (abis ngeliat dapur kotor jd males deh), akhirnya ke Mcdon dehh.. Menu makan malam hari ini adalah 1 chicken burger dan 1 pommes... (junk food banget ga sih?)

Balik ke rumah udah jam 9 lewat.. Cappeekkk.. Pingin tidur..

Ps:
Malem pertama tidur di kamar baru: GAK BISA TIDUR! :((
I miss my last room.. I miss Emden and Kobua.. I miss my Ray.. :(( *hiks2*

A new journey will begin

For a good reason (hopefully, at least until today), I have to move to other city named Mönchengladbach.
I bet not many people ever heard or knew about this city.. (if you want to know about the city, just click here)
It's bigger than Emden, but I like Emden more for some reasons..

Anyway...
I need to stay there for at least 6 months.. to work and finish my thesis (hopefully).
So it means I have to find a new place to stay.

I just realize that it's not easy to find a room. It's tiring, complicated, and it needs big effort and makes me stress!
After visiting 4 rooms, finally I decide to take the 5th room.. yeah.. it's the room that I never visited before, but the owner trusts me.. so she agrees to give the room to me.
(I don't know how it's like, but at least I will have a place to stay..)

So.. I'm planning to move there this weekend.. with all my stuffs..
There will be new friends, new neighborhoods, new city, new experience..
Hopefully everything will be ok.. *fiuh*

Don't know.. sometimes I feel afraid..
maybe because I have to face all those things alone.. *sigh*
But I have to do it anyway..
life always goes on, for the other journey..

To live is to fight..

To live is to fight,
and I'm fighting now..
I must.


*geben mir das Zimmer, bitte.. :((*

me, in one of my desperado-days..

Indonesia Raya

This morning I went to Auslanderbehörde (Immigration office) in Emden to get my new student visa.
Unexpectedly before I left their office, the officer asked me to stay for a moment, while the other officer run into his desk.
And suddenly I heard Indonesia Raya..!
O my God.. they played the mp3 version of our national anthem!!
I was shocked when I heard that.. it's unbelievable!
How can you imagine that you will hear your national anthem in other state's government office?? :)
Then they said that it's played special for me... How nice.. :)

Merinding dan terharu juga pas denger mereka putar lagu itu..
bagus banget emang lagunya ya.. Yang mereka putar itu sepertinya versinya twilite orchestra..
mereka download dr wikipedia.. :)

hiks2.. jadi kangen.. pingin pulang.. ;(
