My days in Bandung
Hi, I’m back with a lot of stories I want to share! Oh ya
for your information, I’m no longer student in Aceh, no longer communication
student and I yeah I moved from Aceh. I’m now a Telkom University student(that
I had never expected to be here I knew a little about this uni bcse friend of
mine said that this uni has fashion major and now I’m here), with textiles and
fashion design as its major. I don’t call myself “Fashion student” because I
know I’m not fashionable and I won’t take “fashion setter, fashion blogger, or
yg gitu2lah” as my concentration majors. Baiklah, sebelum aku bercerita about
all my days, for the first arrived even till now, aku mau cerita ttg how I
struggled to get this, how I knew about this major in Telkom University dan
segala semua yang gak gak penting yang pengen aku ceritakan.
Because of I had been a student in one of the public
universities, it was so hard to get my mom’s permission to move to other uni.
(I have some reasons why I want to move so badly, and I shouldn’t tell you why
‘cause it would seem “mocking” :p). Well, finally I got my mom’s permission and
followed the test. The test went well but still, I worried I couldn’t pass and
If I couldn’t pass the test I have to keep living in Aceh K. Tapi tuhan berkata
lain and I PASSSEEEDD! I couldn’t stop saying hamdallah! OH MY GOD REALLY I
PASSED THE TEST AND MOVED HAHAHAHA! Seneng banget dan sampai pada akhirnya
malam pun tiba, I got some problem. A little problem oh no……..BIG PROBLEM.
That’s a problem FOR INTROVERTS, FOR ME. I have to live in Bandung, the place I
had never been(mungkin pernah waktu kecil, tp lupa) and you know what?! WHAT?!!
I have to adapt and socialize with new people. For introvert like me, I’d
rather being alone than socializing(but now, I’m on my to be Extrovert
hahahaha) mau sih bersosialisi tapi ya that person should start to make a chat,
not me, I’m not a good of starting a chat with new people. And the worst part
was…………living in dormitory. Hmm, so I stalked a twitter that connected to Telkom
University and found some Telkom student. Famous, Rich, and fashionable. AND
ALL THOSE THINGS MADE ME SO DOWN DOWN DOWN. But okay, tetap tenang dan
sampailah pada hari dimana saya harus berangkat ke Bandung. Sampai di Bandung,
esp in Telkom University tepat pada saat mendaftar asrama, I felt so strange,
everyone was so cool, wearing a branded shoes nike, adidas, vans, converse, new
balance, kawai, crocs, etc. Dan saya hanya menggunakan sepatu kets biasa :’)
karena I didn’t understand fashion at all at that time (Dan aku pun mengenal
merk2 sepatu, baju, celana setelah tinggal disini, maklum dari kota kecil hmm:\).
CULTURE SHOCKED. Yeah, terutama pada penggunaan kata ganti orang pertama dan
kedua tunggal, they use those words that I only heard in TV, “Gue-Lo”. And I
felt so a new species. I choose being silent with some negative thoughts that
haunted me, “How if I’m not accepted here?” “How if I got bully?” “How if I can’t
socialize?” “HOW IF?!”. Apalagi, I had to live in dormitory and that means had
to live with those guys from another
city, different culture. Aku hanya bisa diam memikirkan itu semua. Aku hanya
takut penolakan, aku takut gak diterima dan semuanya begitu menghantui pikiran.
Tapi semuanya sirna when I saw the buildings here( esp, SCOOL OF CEATIVE
INDUSTRIES(Fakultas Industri Kreatif)my faculty!!!). OH MYYY GOD!
I had never
seen such a place like this. So artistic, cool, and I was like “THIS IS WHAT I
WANT!! OH GOD THANKS FOR GIVING ME THIS PLACEEE!!!”. Apalagi UKM nya
tuhaaaaannn! KOREA, SENI BALI, ENGLISH, SEARCH, SENI EMBUM. All what I had been
searching are here! Setelah ngeliat2, balik ke tempat temennya mama, yang
anaknya adalah temen TK saya dulu. Dan disini mengalami hal yang aneh lagi.
Sunda. Everyone in that home uses bahasa sunda and I have to be familiar with
these words, “teh, naon, naha, saha, kang, aak, teteh, ceuna, teuing, aing,
urang”. Yeah! I have to struggle hahahaha! But, now I love that different, that
culture shocked.
Dormitory.
First Impression was……….boring. I rarely talked to them,
while they talked often each other. They come from the same province, West
Java. Jadi mungkin akan sangat gampang bagi mereka untuk berkomunikasi, alias
nyambung. And again, bener2 harus nyari bahan ceritaan yang bisa buat nyambung
and had to struggle so hard. Tapi ya tetep, mereka lebih banyak nanya duluan.
Hehehe:))))) living in dormitory teach me how to call these guys “bro”
hahahahaha(maklum temen gue di kota gue banyakan cewe dan biasanya cyin, eyke
hahaha) now everyone in my room, dormitory is getting nice and gets more
everyday, we talk often, we joke, and we care each other, I love being here.
THANKS GOD! but here, were are more silent, busy with our gadgets. That’s okay:))))) here are pics of my room!
New student orientation (OMB)
OMB was started August11th-13th. Those activities
are the most tiring ever! Had to wake up at 2am and we went to Masjid to pray
in congregation and OMB started 7am. All new students were divided into 30
groups and I’m a part of “Pleton 9A”. I LOVE OMB. It introduced me to a good
people from another province, even another country, Timor Leste. We asked
normal questions to weird question each other, about culture, a good place and
etc. We joked, laugh so hard each other even seniors were mad at me hahaha. We ate together for three days in a row. I felt
comfort with them. I felt like I was closer with them than my friend in major.
Although now we rarely meet but still keep in touch in line group. I love being
a part of “Pleton 9A”! I dont have photos of OMB 'cause we couldn't bring handphone :(
Major-mates
I’m not really close to them all, close with some, But still
they’re good people and I think they’re my fashion teacher hahaha. They know
anything about brand, fashion, how to be fashionable. And the most important is
they all are good at drawing so it’s easy for me to get a long with these guys.
I love being here deh pokoknya. Alhamdulillah Ya Allah. Thanks! I have photos with them but I'm too lazy to move it from my phone :)))
AAAAAAAAA pokoknya I love being here, what I’ve been
searching are here, things I had never got before, I got here. I love that
culture shocked, I love that different we are different but I love its different,
I hope it will get more nice, kind and gets more day-by-day. And I hope I can
feel like at home(betah) here, work smart, graduate, get a job. Aamiin. Thanks
for your kindness, ya Allah! :))))
