My Thinking - Part 1 : A Night Flashback


Hari ini hari pertama liburku :) :)
Tadi karena tidur siang jadi gak ngantuk malemnya..
Aku setel lagu2 yg baru dapet dari Chris,, salah satunya BoyzIIMen.
Dan, langsung terlintas sebuah flashback…

Lagu slow n mellow itu mengingatkan saat aku, duduk di jok belakang mobil, melaju di jalanan kota Jakarta, di malam Minggu, sekeluarga, dan radio pun memutar lagu2 slow… (lalu biasanya aku ketiduran)

Aku jadi kangen Jakarta. Kota Jakarta di malam hari itu berbeda.. pemandangan di jalanan kalo udah lewat jam malem itu anak2 jalanan, pengamen, pedagang kaki lima, motor.. walau aku paling kesel sama yang terakhir itu. Ditambah ada aura ‘horor’ khas Indonesia.

Kalo di Melbourne, pemandangan di jalanan kalo udah malem banget (dan gelap) itu ya anak2 muda habis pulang dugem, orang mabok,, dan disini nggak ada aura horor. Yang menakutkan itu ya orang2 jahat..

Di Indo, kalo ada tanah kosong, biasanya ada pohon pepaya, pohon pisang & rumput tinggi, dan kalo gelap (malem) auranya gimana gitu.. plus suara krik krik si jangkrik.

Kalo di Melb, jarang sih ada tanah kosong. Kalaupun ada ya gak ditumbuhin taneman. Atau tanah lapang yg dijadiin taman. Yang bikin serem pohon2nya besar dan tua. Ngga ada yg namanya pohon pisang atau pohon pepaya tumbuh liar. Jadi nggak begitu horror..

Kok jadi ngebandingin malem ya?

New Volunteer


In  15th of December, I had a new experience as a volunteer for SSAA Swinburne.

I met Ken, he is Malaysian, studying master of network engineer.
I also knew An, alias Dilu, she is from Srilanka, studying master of IT. Wow, it’s IT!!! I will need her help someday hahaha
And I met Dave. But I didn’t chat too much with him. I think he’s studying bachelor of engineer.

There’s an event named Swinburne Transition Day for ELICOS students. And that day is their graduation day. So they will decide whether they want to go back to their country or continue their study here, at Swinburne.

Paul, the SSAA staff, gave me and Ken a tee. And I think it would be good if we wear it, so the students will notice us.
Me and Ken carried 3 tables upstairs. Then we set the drink, pour it into the cups. Aaaand the pizza arrived!! Yes, we had pizza for the lunch. There are piles of pizza boxes, with different flavours.

The event started at around 12.45. Lots of students came. Oh, it’s in the 2nd floor of George’s Building.

We wore blue gloves, and at the lunch session, we handed the pizza to the students.

Actually, the pizza is very salty :(

After the students were gone, we collected the rubbish. And we carried back the tables downstairs.

Paul told me to take a Log Sheet to be signed by the staff, as a prove that I’ve been volunteering in an event. Carla, another staff, signed my sheet. I’ve got my first 2 hrs volunteering!! :D yeah
If we collect minimum 15 hrs volunteering, we will have a chance to join a free leadership training. Sounds great..

Well, I’m looking forward to help you guys again. And thanks for the pizza ;)

Jose

my gift
my sweet-seventeen gift
my unforgettable gift
the special gift

welcome to our family!

you colour our days
you are something new
something cute
the cuteness we cannot resist
something cuddly
can't obey the cuddliness

I wasn't expect to have a gift like you
Until she brought you to me
and I drove you home
You were sleeping in a box
such little, dark creature
I couldn't express my feeling at the moment
Surprised. Unbelievable. Awesome. Oh-so-Cute!!

Since that day
We have something to play with
for after school, after work
Always keen to see you

Hey, Jose!
My little brother!
I miss you!
