"They say you don't grow u You just grow old, It's safe to say I haven't done both I made mistakes, I know, I know But here I am alive." (Yellowcard, Here I Am live.mp3 (2012))
Hello, Everyone! First of all, Happy New Year! How's your new year party? Did you have fun with your loved one or your best friends or your family? Me, I have a lot of fun with my family in Beppu, Japan.
2014 flies so fast. So much good memories that i have in 2014. I learn many new things and gain myself to be better person and man. I also have a lot of wishes in 2015 that i hope i can achieve it. First, I would like to share a 5 things that I learn from 2014:
1. I Realize My Special Potential
After I finished my job in one of the APU's student organization, GASS and performing for Indonesian Week 2014, I realized that i'm really good in performing on the stage. It's related to my past that I would like to impress everyone on the stage but since arrived in APU, I have played a lot of roles on the stage. Those pictures below are the roles that I have played since coming to APU 2011:
- DANCER
- PERCUSSION PLAYER
- PERCUSSION-DRAMA PLAYER
- MC
- Speaker in APU seminar for high school students
Oh, I forget to mention that, what makes me good in performing is I have a huge confident when I perform in front of many people especially big stages. Of course it's nervous and tired sometimes, but I never afraid with stages because I love to hear audiences applause. That's my biggest motivation in every performance that i join. If i have to play very difficult role on the stage, it just increase my motivation and confidence.
2. I Have Strong Memory
In 2014, it's first time for me to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya. It's very great experience to visit such a big cities in Japan since I live in small city that you might never hear before; Beppu city. When I visit Tokyo and Nagoya, I often riding subway train alone. Yeah, you know, big city like Tokyo and Nagoya have a lot of train line that can make you crazy when you're travelling in this city.
But for me, reading train maps and paper maps to find tourism cites, are not difficult things. That's my special skill that i just realized. I'm good with remembering places, name of station, and finding the way to go to tourism destination.
Maybe you don't believe me, but i never getting lost in Tokyo and Nagoya, although I went there alone without my Japanese freinds.
3. I Start Many New Things
My wish in 2014 was to experiences many new things that makes me better person and man. As you know that I re-started my blog in March 2014 since i vacuum from blogger in 2011. With this blog, I would like people to know more about me, my experience, feeling, and ideas about this life.
I also started to read a lot of books, particularly, self-development books that gives me a lot of new ideas to grow up. At first, I read self-development books for develop myself and find out who i am, but i thing everyone need self-development knowledge because in this tough world, many people especially young man, can't figure out who they are, their life's goal, and what can they do to make better life. That's why, in the future I would like to be self-development trainer to bring back people who get lost in this life back on the right track so that they have better life.
4. What I Want To Be
After reading a lot of books, meet a lot of people, and struggling with many problems, I realize my dream. I want to be a real-man who can spread a tons of love to the people and become a hero for the loved ones. I want to be the coolest man in the world someday. Every single step in my life, will be the track to achieve my dream. As well as my career after graduate from APU, it must be the track that can make me a real man.
5. I Have A Work Vision
Since I start job hunting from October 2014, I realize my work vision that can makes me a real man. Here's my work vision:
"Work is not only for feeding myself. Work is not only about get a money. I work for give positive contribution for my parent-society (Indonesia), my current host-society (Japan), and world society to make better world"
That's what I learn most in 2014. Every single moment in 2014 is a lesson for me. A lesson that can make me even better man. The way to be a real-man is still long but I will do my best to get myself on track to be a real-man.
In 2015, I have a lot of wishes that i wish i can realize it. In this blog, I will share my 3 wishes in 2015:
1. I Want To Get Closer With My 2nd Family
My 2nd family is this people!
They are APU Indonesia (APU INA) batch 24-25. Short brief about APU INA batch 24-25, APU INA batch 24 is Indonesian undergraduate students who enroll APU at Fall semester (September) 2011 and APU INA batch 25 is Indonesian undergraduate students who enroll APU at Spring semester (April) 2012.
We have only 9 months left in our lovely university APU, and soon after that, we will separate to many places. Some of them will work in Japan, some of them will work in Indonesia, and some of them will go to graduate school in somewhere.
Since we come to APU, we have been closer like family. For me, APU INA 24-25 is like a family who always stick together and the best place to go home. Even though, as personality, I'm not close with them, but every moment that i spend with them is always special.
That's why, I wish I can be closer with them, spend a lot of time with them, and having the wonderful memory ever in my life with them.
2. I Wish I Can Finish Thesis, Job Hunting, and Graduate From APU
Currently, I am doing job hunting, writing thesis, and doing my best to graduate from APU. I am doing job hunting and writing thesis is not because i am 4th year student so that I must do that. I do that for grow me up to be better adult and getting stronger man.
Because doing job hunting and thesis at the same time is really tough. I'm not complaining with that fact. That's the reality! Because it's tough, it gives me a lot of new challenge in my life that can makes me stronger man. To be a real-man, I have to deal with a huge challenge in my life that even tougher than job hunting and thesis. That's why, I have to win against job hunting and thesis!
I wish I can get the best job that fit with my passion and I wish I can write the best undergraduate thesis that can be useful in the future.
3. I Wish I Can Explore Japan More
Japan is the unique country in the world. They are developed country but they still keep their traditional culture and custom. My Japanese friend said Japan is weird country! Hahaha, so funny to hear that from my Japanese friends. But because it's weid country, it means that there are a lot of unique things that i can explore from Japan. Unique places, unique culture, unique people and unique custom.
That's why I wish I have enough money to explore more about Japan, visit the place that i never go in Japan, and meet a lot of unique people in Japan.
That's all from me. I'm sure you have a lot of wishes in 2015 and best memory in 2014. I hope we can learn from the past and doing our best in present day to make a better future. I wish you have a great year with the greatest memory in your life.
See you later in the next post!
