Today is July 28th, 2010 the second days I arrived in my hometown. I can't explain how happy I am because after several months study in other country finally I came back to my home again. I can meet my parents, my brother, my sister, my friends and etc. I've finished my study in China with sadness and happiness.
At the first time, I really felt uncomfortable with the new environtment, season and food. But, day by day finally I can adapt with those things. Actually this is the first time I've been away from home. I never go away as far as it is. So, it's my great experience in my life. I can't lying my self that I never homesick, when I were in China everyday is homesick for me. At that time, I only want to say "I want to go home now!". But, in fact I only screamed in my heart, I can't do anything except waiting until we've finished the scheduled. On the other hand, I can take the advantages from my study in China, hehe.. do you know why? When we have a holiday in the weekend, I walking around in Beijing City, so many tourism places that I've been during study in China, really! Such as, the great wall, forbidden city, tianan'men, tiantan, yuyang ski internasional park, wangfujing, zhongguanchun and so on. That's my way to enjoy my day in China, reduce my yearning with my parents and home. Study while walking around.
Since I've stayed in China, so many knowledge and experiences that I have. Not only about power plant with their equipments but also about their cultures, customs, society and life style. While learning about those things, I also learn Chinese language. I can't guarantee we can communicate easily and friendly because we can speak englsih well. Not every Chinese can speak English! So that's why we should learn their language.
Now, I'm in my home. Enjoying my holiday, gathering together with people who I loved, my parents, brother, sister, best friends and people around me who separated with me for a long time. My adventure two hundred eighty eight days in China has been finished. Let's make a new adventure with more challenges, powers and obstacles in the future. Because life is challenge.
Finally is over!
This is the first experience that I have during holiday in china. After new year in 2010, in china still has new year, the new year is we call as Chinese new year. Let me tell you about Chinese new year in china. Actually, I never have dream to see the Chinese new year in china, but in fact..woow, great! Just like happy new year on 1st January. So many fireworks in the night. But in Chinese new year we can see the difference between new year on 1st January and Chinese new year. First, when Chinese new year has came. Usually Chinese people use traditional clothes with red colour. It means of traditional culture of china. They used red colour as luckiness. Believe it or not? But we will not see it in the new year on 1st January right?Second, Chinese people has unique tradition. When everybody celebrate the Chinese new year, the father will give the money to his son or daughter. After you says greeting to your parents, uncle or to your grandmother or grandfather. The money his put in the red envelope and the he will give it for you. As a symbol of prosperity and loveliness. We call it as Hong Bao. But, if you already get job or already get married, your parents will not give you hong bao. Of course not, because if you already get job it means you are strong enough to earn money by your self right? Same as like if you already get married, it means that you are strong enough also to fullfil daily life of your wife and your children.The last, whenever you meet someone, he or she will says Gong Xi Fa Cai (greeting), Wan Shi Ru Yi (anything will goeswell), Shenti Jian Kang (wish good healthy), Xue Ye Jin Bu (for a students), Gong Zuo Shunli, Bu Bu Gao Sheng (wish you get a promotion for a workers) or something like that. In Chinese new year, everybody full of happiness to celebrate the Chinese new year. The Chinese new year so wonderful in the night. Wherever you go, you can see so many beautiful fireworks during the night. Even in the day, they still play the fireworks. I can’t believe it. Wow great! Actually, this is my first experience to see so many beautiful of fireworks in the night even in the day. In my hometown it’s seldomly to see fireworks like in china.When everybody back to their hometown to celebrate the Chinese new year with their family, me and my friends celebrate the Chinese new year in our hotel with singing and dancing. I don’t care whether we sing good or not but we only want to enjoying our situation that we have right now. And then, we went to Yu Yang Ski International Park, play ski together with my friends. Actually, I always falling down when I want to play it. Hahaha..of course yes, because this is my first time to play ski in my life. Now, Chinese new year has gone but I can feel the Chinese new year until now. I hope, I can celebrate the Chinese new year in the next time with my family.
What is your dream?
When you was a child, someone can ask you. What is your dream? And then you can say, I want to become a pilot, I want to become a doctor, astronaut, a soldier, a police, teacher and others. Am I right? But now I want to ask you, what is your dream? Is your dreams same like when you was a child? Or your dreams already changed by time, Or do you have other dreams? Or, maybe you don’t have dreams?
Yeah, everybody has own dreams including me. When I was seven years old, I want to become a soldier. Because, at that time in my opinion. The soldier has strong power to protect the country from enemy with their great equipments. After I graduated from elementary school, and I have so many friends. My dreams had changed. At that time I want to become a Director of the company, with high salary. So that I can buy anything that I want to buy, I can give that money to my parents. Buy the big house, car and motorcycle. Wow, great. And, that dreams become my motivation in the school. So, I always study hard to achieve my dreams.
Since I graduated from my junior high school and then I continued my study to the senior high school. I have changed my dreams become a racer, guitarist and pilot. I really don’t know why my dreams always changed by time. Since want to become, soldier, director, racer, guitarist and pilot. But now, after I graduted from senior high school and I accepted in one of company, I’m not become a soldier, director, racer, guitarist or pilot as my dreams. But, I’m going to become operator in that company. It’s beyond my imagine. I don’t know why but it’s reality.
I think whatever your dreams the most important thing is the way you achieve that dream and how perseverance you are and your focus with your dreams, because everyone wants to achieve their dreams to make their parents, family be proud. I know and I can feel, if you can achieved your goals in your life, you can change your world, you can makes everybody around you be happy. And also, your parents must be proud of you.
So, do the for your self to achieve your dreams because dream is the key to explore the world. With your dreams you can makes your family proud of you, with your dreams you can change your world, you can get what you want, and you can give the best thing to others. At least, if you want get what you want you must be perseverance and focus on it.
Me and a few years ago
I still remember at that time. When I were in Senior High School. When I still used my uniform, white and brown colour. With the black shoes, tie and hat in my head. It was unforgettable. Do you know? When I’m alone and nobody beside me, I always remind that time. I really want to back to that time. When me and my friends laugh together, study in the class, do the same thing, even we have same punishment from our teacher. But, nobody can’t back to that time, because time can’t be repeat. The time always running. We can’t stop it, even we can’t pause it. My father said,use your time in a good way so you can make your time usefull, don’t awaste your time with the bad thing! I always remember that words.
Before everthing has changed by time, before I know what life means, and before I know what is my purpose in my life. I already knew friends as my precious thing. Really! Now, I have been away from my home although only for a few months but I think it’s take a long time you know.I never imagine that I will be go far as far as it is. Never! So that’s why, I miss my friends so much, especially my best friend who always give me a spirit, who always give me support and suggestion when I need. Someone who never laugh when I’m sad, someone who always smile even sad. He is my best friend, I supposed him as my brother you know! When I go back to my home later, the first home will I visit is his home.
Some of my friends said, I am looks like different with two or three years ago. But, for me nothing has changed. Me is me, i never change become a superhero, like a Batman, Spiderman or something like that. I still like eat Tempe you know, :D I like play football, swimming, reading, jogging. What did they said? Am I looks like different? What’s their expect? I don’t know. They only said, I’m not like a few years ago, I become arrogant, egois, and selfish. Owh, I can’t believed this. Trust me my friends, if you judged me, arrogant, egoisand selfish. I think I don’t care about all of you, I won’t visit your home, I won’t say Hi when we meet. So guys, what did you said just your wrong opinion about me. You should understand me. We are human, we need each others right? What do you think about me? Am I different with a few years ago? That’s your opinion, it’s up to you, it’s your rights. Whether you judged looks like different or not, for me I only do my best for all of you, because you are my friends.
So, at last I want to say we are friends, we are strength if we united. Together we will survive to take a brighter future. For our friendship, for our brighter future and for our dreams. Let’s do our best and we will get the best thing.
