Persona

I always believe that being alone is not miserable. What makes it unbearable is how other people thought about it. But then, people will always believe what they want to believe? So, why even bother trying to convince them something that won't change?

The truest pain is loneliness. It could crawl up to your mind and brain on the loudest day ever. It could just eat your soul alive. And, loneliness is sad.

It makes you believe that you are not worthy. It makes you feel like you're an outcast - that you don't belong.

And for that, I am an expert now.

It's funny now to think that how everyone can never know anyone. Just like an old friend of mine who I bumped into last week, she told me that she can never picture me to ever feel lonely. Why would she? I always put up a bright persona.

My former manager also mention once that I am a "must-do" person. And, every force task is just a great new adventure. But actually, inspite of my cheerful and can-do attitude, I have anxiety in every inch of my body.

I also remember, in Malaysia, once, someone told me that I am such an expressive person. Full of musicality. But what he didn't know is, no matter how happy or sad I am, I will always sing (hahaha)

So that's the thing about putting on make up.
It's hard for me to town down the mask.

To ..
Say that, "I am alone. I don't like it. Accompany me please for a while."

Instead ..
I will push people away.
Lock down the feelings.
And ..

Smile.

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...

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...
