A lesson of life: Avoid Being Wishy-Washy

Hi Readers! How's it going? wish you're doing just fine.



I am writing this as a life matter that exposed some experiences or journeys which contributed to life. 

In this world, we are connected to many aspects, most of them are our families, relatives, best friends, colleagues, working team, old-person, acquaintance, even strangers.

Let's recall, when did you make communication to every person mentioned above? Probably we could not remember all of which clearly, but at least there is something memorable either in a good or bad ways.

As the human being, we tend to bear in mind that we are curious person, wanting to know every single part of a thing, like people nowadays always call as "KEPO" which is abbreviation of Knowing Every Particular Object. It is true believed that we sometimes want to know something that is not really our areas. Even though, not all people have the same curiosity level, so that's why there are choices to choose. Whether to get involved in, or just to ignore it. 

Considering the choices, there is a saying "Life is a choice". I absolutely believe this. Even, a very long time ago, before we were born, we were competing to be chosen, I hope you know what I referred to. 

As the time goes on and we have gone through phases or stages such as from baby, kid, adolescence, teenager, and adult. Indeed, we have so many experience we have faced in regard to how to choose "a thing" better. One problem is that when the options are similarly the same but we must choose one which fits us well,

How did you choose it?
What consideration you took before choosing?
How well are you sure that this is a good one?
Don't you think about consequences both short or long time period?

Life is unique, we sometimes do not clearly think or question ourselves prior to decide a thing. It is because we, human beings, are given Heart and Brain. They do not cooperative in many ways as we want them to, and if things get rough, like when your heart says yes but your mind says no, it will be a problem which leads to affect your feelings, psychological, and even your body.

Here is a Scenario of how it goes.

You have known someone for years, you get along with him, like no boundaries. At the same time, you meet a stranger and you make a friend even a relationship and gradually spend limited time with the first person until you decided to separate. In a short time, you get along with the second person, you go through many places, share story each other, you become happy for long time. However, unexpected thing happens unexpectedly. You have problem with the new one, and think about the old one. You try to say "if only ....". You ended up deciding to separate. You become a loner, you try to make a contact with the old but sadly, he is not interested in you anymore. Couple time later, you are bored, you want to call the second one to start again, but he says no. You kind of regret what happened to you. The consequence is you do not get anything but a heartache, you absolutely regret and you want to go back so badly than anyone does.

It is one scenario about how wishy-washy the person is. If this thing happens to you, what will you probably do to diminish your feeling guilty?

Another scenario is, you work in a company where you initially do not like but you try your best to fit in. You get promoted in a high level but you think of your incapability which makes you refuse to have it. A friend of you says that why don't you take it? it is really good for you, don't focus about your incapability, you are chosen because you are believed. Thinking it too much made him confused and change his mind but the opportunity does not come twice, he's thinking.

A great lesson based on two scenarios above can be stated in this forms

"IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO QUIT, PLEASE THINK AGAIN WHY YOU STARTED"
"YOU MAY HAVE THE SECOND CHANCE, BUT IT WON'T BE THE SAME ANYMORE, SO TAKE IT AND MAXIMIZE IT" -SIDIQ, 2016

Love in Curiosity

Love in Curiosity

Have you ever wondered why everything in this universe happened?
Have you ever imagined what would it look like if something is not going to happen?
Have you ever felt that there should or should not have been done?
Have you ever thought that why so many people in this whole world learn?
Have you ever convinced yourself that what happened in this world is just a coincidence? 
Have you ever decided to go catching your dream instead just sit there thinking it again and over again?

If you have those thoughts, you got a curiosity. 






Yeah, as human beings, we constantly think of everything new which captivated our eyes, wondering what is this? what the hell is that? and so many questions.

I have a story related to this theme. Let's get into the storyline. 
Have you ever heard the expression "Love at first sight"? 

#1 Chapter.

A teenager who is 20 years old called Andre, he is a law students in one of Local University, he works also as an ice cream shop-keeper. He is so busy helping people who are difficult to study, or we could say he is teaching. On his campus, he has many friends even who is not in the same faculty, he made friends freely. He likes to exercise like jogging, playing futsal, or bicycling.

He goes swimming every Sunday on regular basis with his friends, he wants to be good in sport field. besides that, he joins a pop punk band as a lead guitar. "Music is what makes me going and enjoy my everyday life" He tweeted in his twitter. It is one of his favorable tweets.

Not forget to mention that, he still communicates with his high school friends in a chat room, so that their communication is still going, in no attempt to forget the old memorable friends ahead. Luckily, there is a surprisingly wonderful news, yeah, one of his friends is going to get married. hhuuuuu How happy he is knowing that his friend is one step closer to get family. His friend who will get married called Nia (the bride).

Sooner he knows this, they (his band) are preparing for performing on the wedding ceremony. he wants to give his best to his friend in front of couple of eyes, and as a reunion also. As you might know that one of his band mate, Ricky, the vocalist, feels unpalatable not because he is nervous to sing or somewhat, but, in the past 4 years, he was in love with Nia (the bride). 

"I don't know what would I react on this weddings, I feel so sad, but in the other side i am happy as well", He said to Andre 
"I know your feeling, but i suggest you try to be sincere to let her go" Andre replied seriously
"Yes, I am trying, thanks bro" Ricky's response to Andre.

-This is not the Ricky's love story focus here, maybe in the next chapter-

On the wedding ceremony....

So many guests there, from kids to adults gathered there. His Senior high school friends reunited here, he saw happy face by everyone's expression. They took pictures with Nia and then enjoyed the dinner there.

After performing his band, Ricky went down to the hall, and there he saw a beautiful wonderful girl wearing white dress, so gorgeous. He had question in his head "How do i get acquainted with her?" He told his friends to secede from them. Later on, he went toward the girl. The girl who stood in the front of the dining table with her food on her left hand, suddenly Andre in attempt to shake her hand and directly introduce himself.

"Hi, I am Andre, what's your name?" Andre opened the conversation
"Hey, I am Kimmy" She replied

After having small talk, he got his Line account and made him very curios to know her more....

To be continued......

MY SPECIAL TRIP TO LOMBOK




Hello guys, welcome back again! yo whatsup! 

This is a very late posting due to this should have been posted on December, 2014. So i would like to share about my short trip to Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). If you don't know this place, feel free to search on google *Head'sUp*

When I was in seventh semester, after finishing one of three mandates of university (Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi) which is community service or Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat, I was invited by my aunt dr. Maryam Haba M.Kes to have a trip together her team to Lombok. As you all might know, her team consisted of six persons and including me as seven persons. All of her friends are in the same office in Maros Hospital. 

So let's take a little look up in this story...

We finally flew to Lombok International Airport by using Garuda Indonesia, November, 19th 2014 at 09:55 a.m. boarding time from Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport. The flight took an hour a half *I don't really remember it*, before landing on the airport we could see so many the greatness of god that refreshed our eyes and our heart condition, yes it was a beautiful land, fancy and magnificent the three gilis. *would talk a little more later*. I was captivated by all of those great views with the result that I forgot to take picture of it *Oh damn!, I lose it*

Arrived at the airport...

The first thing I saw when I arrived there is the nice-looking posters about lombok, so many people over there took a picture of it even a selfie. This airport is not as big as Sultan Hasanuddin airport but it is enough to accommodate passengers for all over the world, the traffic was busy as hell, many airplanes fly and get in line on the back of the blue sky. I didn't forget to take a selfie and check in on path *so that everyone knows and being jealous* Just kidding, and I didn't forget also to inform all my dearest persons.

One of my aunt's friend, dr Sri which her husband was in Lombok picked us up and brought us to one of the traditional village of Lombok, Sasak Village SADE Rembitan-Lombok

What we saw there was something unusual, that's a small house with tall rooftop like a pentagon and the floors inside were built using *sorry* buffalo feces or *bull's shits*. It was believed that it will have a strong foundation and also to make the air in the inside to be more cooler. *one of the tour guide told us*. We also saw the traditional weaving which was done by inhabitants there, especially most of mothers there.



There were so many places we enthusiastically stopped by, like The Lombok's icon, the central of pearl jewel, food culinary. Yeah, Lombok has been famous with its distinctive food that is Ayam Taliwang, I couldn't express this with words, but if you are in Lombok, you will regret yourself if you didn't taste it before you leave this city. :)




After having dinner, we go to bAleku Inn to rest our bodies and minds after having go around the city, this place is recommended to rent because its location is not far from the central city, and it is cool here, it has old-schooled car, big big motorcycle, musical instruments and the owners are so friendly. The concept is not too now and too old, it is combined where the bedroom is made from bamboos, seems like so nature with jasmine flowers as its finishing garnished the whole room so that sweet-smelling we can feel. I didn't forget also to take a review of the bathroom, the bamboos still there as the shower with couple of stones as its floor with jasmine flowers as well.

bAleku Inn

The very next day, we started our day with fried rice and a cup of tea, we didn't want to trip with hungry tummy or it would be a horrible trip ever. after having breakfast, we then moved over to Gili Trawangan. As you may note that, there are three Gilis in Lombok, they all are Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Menok. The first destination we reached was the Gili Trawangan, why? because this is the very busy place due to many tourists from across the world who want to enjoy the beautiful scenery and nice panorama. It is also the biggest than the others. When we arrived there, we, of course, walked with our backpacks to bAleku inn. *There are two bAleku inns, one is in the city, and one is here, Gili Trawangan*. If you are a die-hard fans of motorcycle or car, this is not the place for you as this place prohibits every vehicle with machine, so you will only find bicycle and chariot/horse-drawn carriage.

Night view of a lane

Just an information for you guys, the map of Gili Trawangan is like a labyrinth, there are so many lanes, you may find yourself lost there if you don't notice what is noticeable :D

Before evening...

After cleaning our place and be prepared to swim, we walked about 15-20 minutes to see every side of this place, so many unique yet still have the good places to touch down in. I met a girl there and had a small talk, but didn't forget to take a S-e-l-f-i-e :p 


At 8:00 p.m, the hunger assaulted our tummy, every side of the lane has a good and affordable food and drink, we stopped by at javanese grilled chicken to satisfy ourselves and then moved back to our inn. At 10:00 p.m I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go out my room to stroll with my earphones plugged in, I was trying to forget some problems that really disturbing my head. it took approximately 1 hour for the night stroll. I was so exhausted when i arrived at my room.

Sleeping time... No need to tell what I was dreaming of :p

The last day in Lombok, on sunny day morning, we gathered to go to Gili Menok and Gili Air. 
The Gili Menok is only a place without people there, we just rolled there, trying to see the beautiful view with our phones ready to capture moments.

Been satisfied taking some pictures of it, we then moved over to Gili Air, yup, this is as beautiful as the others, but what makes it different is, the are so many many fishes on the edge of this place which we can swim with :D

I remembered the best moments here, and really wanted to rewind someday with my beautiful dearest someone. Hopefully what I dream of is achievable, with struggles and hard working, I think it is possible.
