Welcome to the Red Campus, Ning!

Posted on August 30, 2014 by admining

“Welcome to the Red Campus, Welcome to the Jungle! Welcome for Struggling, Ning!”
Wow Wow Wow…!!! >.< Fighting, Fighting!!!

How I can start to say this. Emmm.
Alhamdulillah, I get the chance from Allah and my parents to continue my study in English Study Language Study Program, Hasanuddin University, Makassar. I started to register my self on March 20th, 2014, then had the test on April 22nd – 23rd, 2014. Thanks to Allah, the online announcement stated that I passed the test on June 5th, 2014. 🙂 So, I arrived in Makassar on August 20th because the inaugural lecture for students of postgraduate was held on August 28th, 2014.

One of quotes from the Rector Assistant I of Unhas, “Let’s build the quality, in order to survive.”

Welcoming New Postgraduate Students in Baruga A.P. Pettarani, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, on August 28, 2014

Having a chance to continue my study is the gold chance that I have. Although there are many obstacles towards me, I always believe that there will be a way from Allah. My parents as my main supporters, they have sacrificed everything they have, just for their daughters. Thanks for allowing me to continue my study. I will have effort to make it beautiful for you. :’) Aamiin.

I always remember what my father said, “That’s important, you study well there.” Thanks, Papaa… Huhuhu… >.< You made me affected. I’m going to have effort to get the scholarship. Hope, Allah will give it to me. Or anybody can give me the scholarship. Who wants? Who wants? Who? Hehehehe. Ya, for BPP-DN (Calon Dosen) Scholarship from Dikti, I am not lucky for this year, 2014. It doesn’t matter, Allah gives His mercy to me in other chances. Believe that!

Here, in different place. I get new experiences and surroundings and leave my family, sweet room, and English Education Study Program room in Unidayan. I will miss them. But, I must be able to adapt with current situation. Some things I must know, there will be some problems I get in a new place such as management of time, management of money, and feeling of homesick. So, I must be smart to manage those all.

At least, now, with my status as one of students of Hasanuddin University, I want to concentrate to study well, deepen my knowledge, develop my ability, I don’t have enough capability yet for this actually, and believe that there is a good hope for my better future.

Thanks for people who have been giving supports to me.

I’ll do my best.

Keep fighting, Ning!

Thanks, Allah, for these all. :’)

MLC TOEFL Prediction Test & Seminar Pendidikan Luar Negeri

Posted on June 19, 2014 by admining

MLC TOEFL Prediction Test and Seminar Pendidikan Luar Negeri

There was an event on June 15, 2014 (Sunday) at La Ode Malim Auditorium Dayanu Ikhsanuddin University, namely MLC TOEFL Prediction Test dan Seminar Pendidikan Luar Negeri.The event was educative and very interesting. I think that was the first time for such the event held in Baubau. It was followed by students in university, high school, and some teachers.

It was held by Makida Learning Center. It is one of courses in Baubau, located at Jalan Erlangga Ruko Pos 3 Baubau. You can also contact it via Facebook or Twitter.

Sunday morning, I arrived at campus before the event held and met my friends. Did not forget to take some pictures with them. 😀

Before I entered the room, I had to have re-registration and got Paper List Beasiswa Luar Negeri and a booklet of Makida Learning Center.

For the first session, all participants had a TOEFL Test, it was about

Mr. Boy was still giving explanation about TOEFL

140 questions in 110 minutes. The questions were WOW WOW WOW.. And I can’t predict how my score will be. 😀 Afterwards, we were explained all about TOEFL, how to answer the questions, tips and trick by Mr. Boy, one of tutor in Master TOEFL Makassar. He had nice explanation. 🙂

Then, we had lunch. Eating time!!! 😀 Ahaideee…
After that, the seminar was started.

There were three people as resource person. They were La Ode Aroamonkdo, S.IP, M.A. (Who got his postgraduate degree in Germany), Muhammad Arham (One of students in English Literature Hasanuddin University who got youth exchange from JENNESYS), and Mr. Calleb Coppenger (the author of The Mysteries of the Islands of Buton According to the Old men and Me).

The conclusions that I could get from their explanation and moderator are:

There is a will, there is a way. (Arham’s words)
To get the scholarship, we must have high value and competitiveness.
Of course, we must struggle to get the scholarship and survive abroad.
Studying abroad can open our mind and insight. What we can see abroad, we can’t see it here (Indonesia). What we can see in Indonesia, we can’t see it abroad.
There is no automatic result, it must be filled by working hard and struggling.
If we want to study abroad, we should prepare our self “before the deadline”. For example, we have a plan to study abroad in 2014. So, we must prepare in 2009 or 2010. Yup, I mean “before deadline”. 😀

The closing session was giving of souvenirs to the resource persons and the taking of photos together.

The last beautiful photo was Kk Cenk and I. 😀 Ahaideee….

Kk Cenk and I 😀 Thank you, Kaka… 🙂 Good luck always.

The Sudden Journey to the Pine Forest in Samparona

Posted on June 6, 2014 by admining

It happened on June 2nd, 2014. Actually, going to the pine forest in Samparona is one of desires of my friends, Mey. But, it doesn’t always come true. Yah, because our time isn’t always enough and the weather isn’t always so good. So, on June 2nd, 2014, she got it. 🙂

We phoned Athul, Daus, and Iyan in the afternoon. They agreed to go there. But, Iyhan didn’t answer our phone. So, we went to Iyhan’s house to tell what we planned . Because we believed that he was sleeping. 😀 Fortunately, he wanted, even though it was a sudden thing. 😀 All of us (Iyhan, Alam, Athul, Daus, Mey, and I) had gathered and we were ready to go there…

FYI, the pine forest is located in Samparona, in Kaesabu Vilage, Sorawolio district, Baubau. Before we are in there, we will pass a wide area that used as a venue for National Women Campsite (Perkempinas) I.

And then, taraaaa… We arrived there…. 😀

Many people go to the pine forest to take pictures, whether for pre-wedding or for having fun. Yeah, it’s nice location. 🙂 Maybe, if you live in Baubau, you’ll feel bored to look at our pictures because it’s in the pine forest. Again, again, and again. 😀 But, it’s OK, because we enjoy it. There were happiness, joking, laughter and togetherness from us. And they’re priceless. 🙂

Look at our styles. It's about self confidence. :D — Look at our styles. It’s about self confidence. 😀

How about you, Mey? 🙂

Is it enough for making your dream comes true? Or are there other places you want to visit? Tell us, before you go to Java. 😀 Ahaideee…

Long Time Not to be Romantic

Posted on June 1, 2014 by admining

My latest post is about my birthday. It’s my new age, my new life, and my new happiness. 🙂 Thanks Allah.

There have been many stories that I don’t write here, unfortunately :(. And this evening, I wanna tell something, not for you MUST READ, but it’s about my feeling tonight and I MUST write here. Maybe it is like the romantic words, but I am not a romantic person actually. #eeeaa. 😀 I just write what I think and feel. Because of someone who has stolen my attention. 😉 <3

And I miss you like crazy tonight.
How I can tell you that you’re priceless, while you always make me speechless. :’)
Thanks for all your love that you give to me.
Your care, your understanding, your kindness of heart, your smile, and your anger.
You choose me as one of important people for your life.
And you have been ready to accept all about my weakness.
Forgive me, I always make you angry.
I regard that I’m not a good woman for you yet. Sorry.
I’m always being silent and you’re always being chatty.
But, I always expect you can guide me well.
How I must to be, when I’m wrong because I will always keep doing the best for being what I should be, what I should do.

Your presence makes me speechless.
I only smile and give thank to Allah for what happened to us.
I feel it’s unpredictable situation because it’s really different before. Strongly differ.

I admit that you’re successful in giving the different nice situation to me and it’s better than yesterday. 🙂
Thanks, dear.

In this loneliness, I still remember you. How are you now?
I hope you’ll get better soon. :’) <3 ({})

The Twenty Third for Ning ‘Little’ Syafitri

Posted on April 28, 2014 by admining

Before April leaves me, I have a priceless story. 🙂 This is about a special moment in my birthday celebration, altough it is too late for telling it. Thanks for my best family and my friends. :* Hug you…

A day before April 14th, 2014, Tafry and Hikma brought me a cake of birthday without I knew. Wowww!!! Hey, both of youuuu…!!! Why didn’t you tell me? –” Hehehe. But, thanks for the cake, thanks for remembering me, and thanks for your love to me… That was more than enough for celebrating my day with you all. :’)

Cake from Tafry and Hikma :) — Cake from Tafry and Hikma 🙂

On April 14th, 2014, I thought that the day was a normal day. I didn’t think I would have a surprised moment because I saw the situation, people around me were busy for work. Also, I didn’t think about the birthday so much because I still focused on my work and my tests.

I just spent my day with having lunch alone in RM. Aroma Sedap, near the harbour, by ordering Hot Plate Mie and Hot Orange Juice. Hehehe… So delicious… Yummy. Alhamdulillah. It’s like celebrating my day by my self. So lonely. Hehe… But, that’s OK. 😉 I enjoyed it.

celebrating my day by my self :D — celebrating my day by my self 😀

And do you know? These people were successful to get me wet and smell. -,-” They put a rotten egg and flush my body with smell water. Uuugghh, I vomited to smell the stench. But, I couldn’t be angry with you all. Was that called for beloved person you love? Oh my gosh!

When I turned toward, I looked there was one of you brought the tart. Hahahaha. Thank you, dear. 🙂 Made a wish than blew the candles. My wishes were bla bla bla. Hahaha. The important thing was the happiness for our life. 🙂 Semoga berkah. Aamiin.

When I wanted to clean my body, there was no water in tap outside. So, I came into bathroom and some of my friends went to go to futsal for an hour. *maybe* But they promised to come back again in my house to eat the tart together. 🙂

Wow wow wow… I didn’t think that it would be like this. I didn’t feel that they want to make a surprised moment to me. Hehehe. Thank you, my beloved friends. :’) I’s speechless for all plans you’ve made. :p 😀 *hug you one by one…

*For all friends and family who said ‘happy birthday’ to me via socmed and text message, I say, ‘thank a lot for that. 🙂 You still remember me. :’)’.

Wolio Snack and Collection Baubau

Posted on April 27, 2014 by admining

Hello… We meet again. 🙂 I hope you will not be bored to read my writing. In this chance, I write a little information about Wolio Snack and Collection.

Baubau has many interesting places/shops to get souvenir, such as traditional foods or things that have indication they’re from Baubau or Buton. One of places to get them is Wolio Snack and Collection. It is located at Jalan Gajah Mada (Lamangga Atas). It is on the side of road so it is easy to find this place.

Although it looks like a simple shop, but there are many things we can buy and the price is affordable. The owner said that they still process foods by home-made, such as abon ikan (shredded fish) I bought. The price is about Rp. 12, 000. 00/package. It is cheap, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, I don’t ask more about things and price in that place because I was in a hurry to bring the shredded fish to my lecturer’s friend. 😀

So, if you are still in Baubau for having vacation, maybe Wolio Snack & Collection will be your destination place to get what you can bring in your place. 🙂

Have a nice day in Baubau! 😉

Roasted Corn in BNI Park Baubau

Posted on March 14, 2014 by admining

Finally, I have time to write. Work makes me not to have time to write. But, actually it may not be as a reason not to write. 😀 Forgive me, my lovely blog. :*

Ok. This chance I post a writing about BNI Park Baubau. Yup, there is roasted corn in BNI Park. And that is delicious. Yummmyyy…

First, I have to tell you where BNI Park is, because some people don’t know the place. They just know BRI Park. –” Hehe… Ok, BNI Park is different with BRI Park. BNI Park is located in front of Murhum Harbour Baubau, it’s near Pineapple’s statue. Could you look this picture?
