Meraih beasiswa Netherland Fellowship Programme (NFP)

Bisa kuliah di luar negeri mungkin adalah impian banyak orang, termasuk saya. Sejak saya lulus kuliah pada tahun 2013,  saya bermimpi bisa kuliah di Australia, atau Eropa. Banyak ilmu dan pengalaman yang bisa diraih selama kuliah di luar negeri, itu dari cerita orang-orang dan setelah mencari informasi. Selama ini saya juga selalu tinggal di Bandung, dan belum pernah merasakan hidup mandiri, jauh dari orangtua dan itu juga menjadi salah satu alasan saya ingin kuliah di luar negeri. Di luar negeri selain ilmu yang bisa didapat akan lebih banyak, saya juga bisa melakukan observasi dalam hal tata ruang ketika tinggal dalam waktu cukup lama. Alhamdulillah sekitar bulan Juni 2014 saya mendapat conditional letter of acceptance dari universitas yang saya inginkan yaitu IHS Erasmus University Rotterdam di jurusan Urban Management and Development. Perjuangan pertama adalah IELTS, dalam beberapa post di blog saya yang lalu saya masih bercerita bahwa IELTS saya belum sampai untuk requiremen...

2014 in a brief

Hello, since it is already December we will leave 2014 and face new year in a short time. Every year has different meaning for me. This year, I also have unforgettable, fascinating memories. I have been in my ups and downs through the year. If I tell you the whole story, it will never end. That's why I am here to share my short stories in 2014, 1. People come and leave In this mid year, exactly on 5th April 2014 our family had one of the biggest occasion that we ever had, which is my sister's wedding.

Jalan-jalan bersama Air Asia, menuju tempat-tempat impian

Saya pertama kali naik pesawat dengan Air Asia ke Padang ke rumah saudara pada tahun 2011. Saat itu saya sedang kuliah, tingkat 2. Sebelumnya saya pikir naik pesawat hanya mimpi, apalagi tiket pesawat saat itu mahal sekali. Dan sampai saatnya pertama kali saya bisa naik pesawat, saya merasa terharu karena akhirnya bisa merasakan sibuknya aktivitas di bandara, ketegangan ketika bagasi ditimbang, melewati security kembali hingga akhirnya naik pesawat. Setelah pulang dari Padang, saya masih tidak tahu kapan akan naik pesawat lagi. bersemangat setelah naik pesawat pertama kalinya :) Saya bersyukur memiliki keluarga yang senang jalan-jalan, berpetualang dan mencari tempat-tempat baru. Karena saya selalu pergi dengan mereka dan selalu menyenangkan pergi dengan orang-orang terdekat, meskipun personil yang berangkat selalu berbeda-beda. Perjalanan tersebut memberikan pengalaman baru, excitement tersendiri dan keahlian merencanakan perjalanan, mulai dari iterinary, hotel dll karena k...

KBS drama special: The reason I'm getting married

This blog will consist of random things haha. So recently I watched this KBS drama special, and it impressed me a lot. I have been watching dramas since I do not follow K-pop like before. Too much girl-groups/ boy-groups I guess. I have watched several KBS drama special, which are Nara's rain, hope for dating, adolescence medley. However, this drama comes as my favorite among others. Maybe because the topic is really relevant with my situation, which is constantly think about marriage. I really want to write several comments, it is not a review though, I do not comment about its cinematography, story plot, etc Synopsis (from KBS world) Seunguk and Jiwon have been dating for 6 years and they are about to get married . However Jiwon is upset at Seunguk's unenthusiastic attitude towards their wedding. One day, Jungi, who used to like Jiwon and Jiwon meet by coincidence. Jiwon gets confused who to choose. And one day, she finds something her late father left behi...

Itinerary in Busan (1)

 We had decided to have our first destination in Busan in our Korea Trip. From internet, we knew that Busan has lot of beautiful beaches, beside that I only knew that Busan is Hoya's hometown lol.  We flew from Jakarta, had transit in Malaysia, and arrived in Busan International Airport. Overall, it was quite fun, and I found that Busan has really beautiful scenery, and nice people. While I was there, some ahjumma tried to talk with me, even though they can not speak English, and all I can say is annyeonghaseyo, ige eolmaeyo or kamsahamnida. Fortunately, my sister can speak Korean language, so she often talk with them. I have planned to visit several destination, eventually not all the plan worked out. We changed the plan due to the situations. Yet we felt happy, because travelling is not about how many places you visited, but about the journey. I make a summary about the journey, places, fees, and everything that I can explain. 1. Jagalchi Fish market Sit...

Ramadhan is not a time for training, but to race

Yesterday I went to Salman for mentoring (discussion and sharing about Islam). My mentor is Teh Yuyut, my senior and we have been doing mentoring for around 2 years. Teh Yuyut had inspirated me a lot. Whenever I have problems, of course I have to seek for the solutions in Quran but since I am still lacking, sometimes I ask for solution to Teh Yuyut. In yesterday discussion, Teh Yuyut told me about Ramadhan. Ramadhan comes near, in about 2 months from now. I have heard some people saying that we have to prepare for Ramadhan. However, I still have no idea about how to prepare for Ramadhan. Last year, I tried to do sunnah fasting, every Monday and Thursday. My thoughtless mind only thought that in order to be ready for Ramadhan, I have to practice fasting, to prepare mentally and physically. Teh Yuyut told me an example, if we will participate in running competition, we have to practice. A lot. For months, before the competition. We have to run everyday, maybe day and night, with littl...

Mengapa kita harus bawa botol minum

Terusan dari post sebelumnya http://nusaibaadzilla.blogspot.com/2014/02/mengapa-kita-harus-minum-air.html, Untuk mengurangi kekurangan air minum, solusi yang bisa dilakukan adalah dengan membawa botol minuman sendiri! Akhir-akhir ini aku selalu bawa botol minum sendiri, karena banyak keuntungannya: 1. Hemat, bayangkan kita keluar tanpa bawa botol minum, pasti beli air mineral dalam botol. Anggap saja sehari beli 1 botol seharga 3000, maka sebulan 3x3000, kita bisa menghemat 90.000 rupiah 2. Selain hemat, bayangkan kita bisa mengurangi sampah plastik dari botol air mineral tersebut. Jika ditumpuk maka akan menjadi seperti ini 3. Jika tidak membawa air, orang cenderung untuk membeli minuman kemasan. Apalagi ketika haus, orang cenderung membeli minuman dingin yang segar. Tapi untuk diketahui, minuman dalam kemasan mengandung banyak (sekali) gula. Dalam artikel ini disebutkan bahwa fanta mengandung 82 gram gula, atau setara 10 sendok makan gula (satu sendok makan = 8 gr...
