Dream Sky High: China!

Have you heard about the phrase:

"Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true"

Well, if you haven't heard it before, you should be very wise with your wish cause it does come true! hahaha... at least it happened for me. In this case, I've been dreaming to go study to China since I graduated from high school (2005), but yet haven't got a chance for it. Then sometime last month, my friend posted an old picture of us at instagram. It was on early 2010, she posted on facebook that time with a caption: "Dream sky high: China"

It was one  year after our university graduation, and I've been working for six months in my first real job, yet I'm still dreaming bout China. Then in the middle of 2010, I worked in Singapore for two years, and in the middle of it, me and my other friend been planning to go to China. And now this is it... In less than two weeks, I'll be leaving home once again, to finally do what I've been dreaming since seven years ago. 

It feels good to know that you can achieve something that you've been wanting for so long. The wait is almost over but somehow I'm also feeling anxious and nervous about it. If you asked me, what makes me want to go to China? I might not have a great answer for that. All I know is, I just need to go there. But I also want people to know that I'm also serious to go study there. Just wait and see people :)

Flash Catch Up

Hello world!

It's been a while (ehm.. more than two months) since the last time I actually write something in this blog - or since I got back to Jakarta, leaving Singapore for good. So where have I been in the past two months? Well, most of my time, I think I did nothing (haha), but I'm about to make some list about what I did. Maybe if I had some extra time, I would make detailed posts about all of it.

1. Took a private Mandarin Class, focusing on HSK test since I will be going to Beijing (for one year study guys, this isn't just bluffing)

2. Went travelling to New Zealand for two weeks (Detailed posts coming soon)

3. Bought a new 'budget' laptop :) I'm saying goodbye to my seven years old Toshiba Laptop

4. Cut my hair short (after more than two years having a long hair)

and last not least I have a newborn niece: Cleona Vanielle Tjiptono. Yeaaay! Gonna start to write about the details soon. One post at a time :)


Loads of love,
