Officially a traveller

-

Assalamualaikum.

As I'm reaching 23, I now finally acknowledge myself as a traveller. I am a traveller of the world.

Just listing out a few countries I've been to :
- Arab Saudi (Mekah & Madinah), 2004
- Indonesia (Bukit Tinggi), 2012
- Cambodia (Pursat & Phnom Penh), 2013
- Japan (Tokyo, Kawaba, Asakusa & Shibuya), 2015
- Hong Kong (at least 2 hours of flight transit), 2017
- United Kingdom (London for 28 hours but I'll say the amazing 28 hours), 2017
- Ireland, 2017

My passport is an incredible album of my journey. Stamped somewhere in there were the moments of my life.

If the incident that I almost went to China alone for a conference in 2016 had happened, then another one would be on that list. This is another story not worth being told due to the ignorance of the educational institute.

I cannot say that I am not proud of myself for Ireland. I am proud of myself because I had the courage, took all the effort and went bravely. Despite all, I went. I am glad that I went.

I went to Ireland without having the chance to think that I can grow into a soul respected by myself. I respect myself. Finally, I know what it sounds like and I know what it means to respect your own self. I deserve what I deserve. I will work hard to deserve what I deserve. I am doing good, better and wonderful.

Thank you.

P/s : I really wish you were here with me, best friend.

How shallow can I be? Very.

Today, I finally noticed something. Actually, someone and some people. I'd like to make this post short so here is a list of things I noticed today at last. 1. Someone had been trying hard to get my attention since a few months ago. 2. Some gestures and talks are hard for me to understand, especially when they are shadowed by emojis. 3. If I don't make a step, I might not get something or someone. Simple. 4. I finally understand why some relationships couldn't connect. There is no spark. 5. We can casually talk about missing each other but there is always a thin line that separates the friendship boundary.  6. As a person who was given too much hints, I am on the shallow side. 7. As a person giving quite many hints, I am on the afraid-I-might-get-hurt side. 8. I used to catch up quickly but as I recently put on my ignorant attitude as a shield, I don't focus on complicated stuff. 9. I still haven't totally figured myself out. 10. My self esteem

 I forgot how to write. I always wrote as if someone is reading. Now I know no one is reading, let me just pour it all out. I am so unsure of someone now. Is this the right person or am I being delusional?  My best friend keeps saying "Don't settle for less" but how do I know if it's less, enough or just what I needed? I pray hard so that if this is right, be close and if it isn't, stay far.  P/s: So casually cruel in the name of being honest.

May was a total disaster

In the period of one month, I sent two resignation letters to two different companies. Never have I ever dreamed of accepting an offer and letting it go as soon as three weeks. I never regret my decision. "I didn't leave a shithole to enter another," I monologued. The situation there was undescribable. Till now, I do not know how to explain what happened to me and how I was treated there. The details are now as blurry as my view during my teary drive back home from work. They even let me leave in less than 24 hours. Yes, I'm going to write that.  After I left, a few people still called me. They ranted to me about the issues they faced everyday and how people were sacked too. Of course, they deserved it. But I didn't pick up the latest call; I just think I've had enough and I don't want to hear it anymore. Anyway, I still need to write this down here so that I remember. I'm starting to forget it as June passes by. Also, some of the motivatio
