I miss him

I have been thinking bout my dad a lot lately. Well, precisely, I always think about my dad when I'm upset or sad. Sometimes I always feel how the universe is so unfair - making one great man to die too soon. 

But, again,  I never valued him this much before. Maybe that's what people said about regret. It always comes later ...

Well, my dad always become the benchmark of every milestone I have in my life. He's the one that inspire me to get higher degree, to have a successful career, and to be a good person. 

For some reason, lately I have been feeling kinda lost. 

One of my father's lesson that I always look up to is. "Always take an extra mile in every thing that you do. No matter how hard it is - it would teach you something. You may not feel it now, but someday you'll be grateful for the extra work you have done."

And now,
I feel like I wanna give up. 
It's not like I am quitter.

It just feels like the extra mile has gone into thousand of miles and I lost my breath already. 
And if my dad was here, he would know what to say. He would reassure me that I would be fine and I should chose what I feel was best.

And though I know that already, but sometimes hearing it from someone else would make me believe that I could really do it. 

And now ... 
I am trying to open up my feelings to other people. 
And I am touched by the way they try to lend me a hand.

The thing is ..
I am not feeling any better now.
And, somehow the world keep on spinning too fast and I feel so left behind. Even the sun has sank on my morning dawn. 

So yes, I miss my dad so much.
My long night conversation by the long road. 
Saying that "everything is gonna be alright, dear. I am here"

A new perspective

Someone once told me that there is nothing wrong with changes. He said that it would give me new perspective. He said, with me being away, it would makes me appreciate the thing that I had before. And yes, sure, Lately, I have been feeling it to be true. To be away with the things that I used to hold on - makes me realize that I have been spoiled. And now, I need to learn how to survive. To learn how to be brave again. And, sometimes, inevitably -- learning how to be OK with the sound of nothingness. Of course, once in a while, I envy those people who are still surrounded by luxury things. Obviously, I would constantly complain about the absence of my old routine. And, also sometimes, I would try to run away -- find the best escape route, just to get rid of the pain. How I hate changes. I wish some things were just stay the same -- forever. But then, I won't ever learn how to fly higher. I won't grow. But then, I also kind of asking my self, ... do I real...

one missed birthday

Ring . ring . Pukul 06.00. Aku terbangun dengan kepala sedikit pusing. Bingung karena tak merasa memasang alarm yang akan membangunkanku di pagi buta ini. Kuraih handphone mungil itu dan melihat tulisan di layarnya. Yagh, memang bukan alarm. Hanya reminder. ‘Sarah’s birthday.’ Dengan segera aku buka phonebookku yang sudah tak terhitung lagi ada berapa banyak nama yang terpampang disana. Ada! Nomor telepon Sarah di negeri seberang itu. Tapi, masihkah ia menggunakan nomor ini? Kuurungkan niatku dan segera menuju menuju shortcut Facebook dan mencari namanya diantara 1000 nama lainnya. Tidak ada! Aku mencoba membuka semua foto dan notes mengenai dia. Tidak ada! Kemana dia? Namun ternyata rasa penasarannya termakan oleh rasa kantuk yang masih luar biasa. Aku kembali tertidur dan melupakannya dengan segera. Siang ini sepi. Aku hanya duduk sendiri di area kampus yang selalu bisa membuatku tidak merasa sendiri walaupun pada kenyataanya tempat itu memang sepi. Terl...

Mimpi saya untuk mereka - penolong skripsi saya!

Beberapa hari belakangan ini, saya jadi teringat komentar teman-teman atau orang-orang yang bertanya tentang tugas akhir saya. Sebuah pertanyaan yang sebenarnya sangat klise dan bisa saya jawab apa adanya. Karena penelitian saya berhubungan dengan orang Tunarungu, dan ternyata pas nya lagi, di try out saya yang (Alhamdulilah) ke-tiga kalinya, saya diminta untuk ganti metode sama dosen pembimbing saya. Pada awalnya, cara saya mengambil data adalah dengan metode survei dengan mengisi skala/kuestioner, lalu, karena data saya tak kunjung valid, dosen pembimbing saya yang pantang menyerah dengan penelitian saya, mengusulkan saya untuk mengambil metode wawancara untuk mengambil data. http://maxcdn.fooyoh.com Pertanyaannya adalah: "Bagaimana cara mewawancara mereka?" Pertanyaan itu sering sekali ditanyakan oleh orang-orang yang tahu mengenai seluk-beluk skripsi saya. Ada yang keheranan, ada yang merasa itu cukup mustahil, ada yang merasa saya ini becanda, atau bahkan a...
