Are you feeling lonely? :)

by Adinda Medina

i think everyone has experienced loneliness. I myself feel lonely right now, though my friends are just around the corner. It's normal for us to feel lonely sometimes.

Sometimes when I talk to friends but not really in mood, just agree on what they say, though I actually son't. Sometimes I laugh even though they're not funny, just for the sake of being nice.

Sometimes when I am about to get period, when my emotion is just fluctuating all the time.

Sometimes when I'm in crowd when nobody listens to me. Even it's friends.

I feel it's better to be alone in my room. Some people do that, and some people search for crowd to comfort their loneliness.

I searched google the term "lonely" just now, and I found this interesting article from www.dailychilli.com. It tells a story about a 6-year old boy who lives alone in China because his parents die due to HIV. He himself is an HIV carrier. His only family is his granny, which refused to take care of him. No school wanted to accept him, no doctors wanted to cure him. He does his own washing, cooking and even studying in his parent's house and the only friends he has is the chicken and the god he takes care of.

What a story.

Another thing I found in google was a book by Emily White called "Lonely". She used to be an environmental protection lawyer - which was a good job, but she quit her job and studied about loneliness. She documented her loneliness into writing and published the book. One of her quote says,

"Right now, loneliness is something few people are willing to admit to. There’s no need for this silence, no need for the shame and self-blame it creates. There’s nothing wrong with loneliness, and we need to start acknowledging this through a wider and more open discussion of the state."

Another thing from google comes from www.experienceproject.com which has a blog written by everydone. I found one story about a boy feeling lonely. He hates himself because he feels like his sister hates him as well as his mom. His confidence depleted as he only heard bad stuff about him. He told himself dumb and fat and he was diagnosed to have a brain damage. He was angry and sad but his mom did not care much. All he did was to isolate himself in his room, cry and cry. At the end of story he thought that suicide was the best alternative.

What a story.

Sometimes when I feel lonely I can't help but thinking negative. Reading something like this somehow makes me realized I'm not the only one. I should consider myself lucky to have my family and my friends. And it shocked me when I hear someone wants to commit suicide. Whatever the reason is, suicide is just foolish, crime and sin.

Another thing I found in google is "lonely planet", but that's not relevant.

Another page showed me youtube video "Lonely by Medina". Shocking news, I uploaded the video here. But hey, it's a catchy song, but I swear it's not me and it's completely coincidence.

so, don't feel too miserable when you're lonely, because surprisingly, you are not alone :)

Cheers,

Medina

Tempat – tempat yang pengen gw kunjungin di Indonesia I

Friday, February 25, 2011 by Adinda Medina

Ada beberapa tempat yang pengen gw kunjungin di Indonesia, terutama pantai – pantai nya. Sok – sok tinggal di luar negeri, Indonesia aja belum semua nya dijelajahin. Jadi malu. hehe.
So, here are the lists!
1. Bali

yaa emang membosankan. Kayaknya turis – turis kalo ke indonesia pasti nyari bali bali bali. gw dulu pernah kesini sekali tapi waktu umur 6 tahun. Walaupun udah lama tapi gw masih inget udah kemana aja. Pantai kuta, sanur, goa gajah, goa kelelawar, Tanah lot, dan sangeh. Sangeh itu kayak kebun binatang, tapi isinya monyet semua. Orang – orang bisa ngasih makan ke monyet nya, bahkan ada monyet yang bisa digendong buat difoto. Gw inget banget nanya ke guidenya ada gorila apa engga soalnya gw penasaran pengen liat. Btw itu foto pantai kuta gw ambil dari google. Sumpah yang di ingatan gw pantai nya ga sebagus itu. Itu efek kamera kali ya? jaman dulu kan belum ada SLR digital. Dulu entah di pantai kuta nya atau dimana, ada acara bakar mayat anjrit ngeri
Anyway, yang belum pernah gw liat di bali adalah tari kecaknya. Yup, itu yang bikin gw penasaran dan pengen kesana lagi. Lagian kalo kesana gw juga pengen nyoba snorkeling sama diving :D

Emang keliatan nya ngeri banget kayak kegiatan nyembah – nyembah berhala. tapi yaa penasaran aja gitu. :D
oke deh yang pertama selesai, tempat selanjutnya gw tulis di blog selanjutnya,
Salam wisatawan,

Last Dat of Internship

by Adinda Medina

Akhirnya datang juga saat - saat terakhir di kantor :') terdengar lebay memang tapi gw seneng banget. Padahal nanti siang ada presentasi di depan semua staff dan intern yg lain.
yaa.. tak pe lah.. 1 jam nervous ga sebanding dengan 2 hari weekend besok libur dengan perasaan lega. Lebay amat sih gw haha.
Tapi so far di tempat internship gw enak kok. Orangnya baik - baik terutama intern - intern nya. Dari yang dulu sampe sekarang.

Itu lab terlihat dari kaca station gw. keliatan kan bayangan gw dikit hehe.

Ada Farah dari UTP. Temen pertama gw di kantor. Waktu itu keliatan sendirian di station gw. Anak nya ramah + baik. Baru kenalan langsung diajak lunch siangnya.. Thanks Farah.Me miss you :)
Ada Faiz dari UTP juga. Cowok intern pertama yang gw kenalan. Anak nya lugu *awalnya* baik rajin suka menolong. gw kayak nge promosiin aja. tapi emang bener sih. waktu pertama kali gw dateng dia ramah haha.

Ada Wan Pai dari UTP. Dia juga anaknya baik. dari department Technical Service sama kayak faiz. Hobinya nulis namanya pake symbol “Π” atau “pi”. Yup gara – gara namanya Wan “Pai”. wan “Π”. lol.

Ada Mus’ab dari UTP juga. dia yang satu – satunya beda department dari yang lain, di QAQC sama kayak gw. tapi waktu gw baru masuk QAQC itu udah minggu terakhir dia jadi ga sempet kerja bareng haha.. semuanya bilang kesannya gw ngegantiin tempat dia.

Ada Queen dari UCSA. Aslinya dari Nigeria. Anaknya baik dan ramah. baru ketemu di hari kedua gw internship. Kata Farah dia ananya pemalu. Ya wajar si di sini staff ya kebanyakan orang Malay semua jadi si Queen mungkin ga ngerti kalo orang – orang lagi ngomong Malay. Oh iya, dia juga di QAQC tapi pas gw masuk dia udah mau keluar.

Ada Patrick dari UCSA. Orang Nigeria juga satu kampus sama si Queen. gw ga terlalu kenal dia si haha. yang gw tau dia di department Research & Engineering dan dia udah mau selesai juga pas gw dateng.

Setelah batch yang di atas lulus, datanglah batch – batch baru dari UTP semua. Banyak banget anak UTP ya?

Ada Luqman. Dia orang pertama yang di rotate di department gw. Anaknya agak pendiem dibandingin yang lain tapi baik. Mungkin karena gw pendiem juga jadi gw ngerasa lebih enak kalo ngobrol sama dia. Dia juga suka nyanyi kalo lagi di lab tapi nanyi nya pelan – pelan. padahal kalo nyanyi keras – keras juga gapapa. huaha.

Ada syafiq. Diantara semuanya kayaknya dia yang paling berambisi. Biasa pengen kenal semua orang. Tapi orangnya baik. Suka ngajak gw ngobrol. Entah kenapa dipanggilnya Justin Bieber.

Ada Razmi dari Perak. Anaknya aliiimm banget. jadi inget waktu itu gw kenalan minta salaman trus dia dengan sopan nolak. hmm jadi inget gw dulu yang suka nolak kalo diajak salam cowo. lol. karma happens ya? orangnya baik juga. Anaknya pinter dan berambisi. Waktu ada drilling course minggu lalu dia yang paling sering nanya – nanya dan waktu final exam dia yang paling cepet keluar.

Ada Azir. Orangnya tinggi. tempat numpang temen – temennya soalnya yang satu – satunya punya mobil. Syafiq juga punya katanya tapi jarang dipake. Dipanggil Ashraf Sinclair. Orang Malay kalo ngomong “r” agak cadel dikit jadi kedengerannya kayak Ashraf Sinclae’. Singkatnya dia dipanggil “Le le le”.

Ada Fariz “Pok Cek”. Sampe sekarang gw masih bingung kenapa dia dipanggil Pok Cek. katanya gara – gara badannya kecil. emang si dia kurus banget. Orang malaysia kalo ngomong kata yang ada huruf “L” nya, huruf “L” nya suka diilangin. jadi kata “kecil” jadi “keci’ trus jadi “kece’ “ lama – lama “kecek” jadi “Pok Cek”. teori gw doang si. Cuman anak – anak intern doang yang manggil dia Pok Cek sementara staff – staff manggilnya Fariz. Orangnya baik tapi hyper. Suka nyapa orang dengan girang. Dia nih yang ngasih – ngasih julukan – julukan nama ke orang – orang kayak si bieber sama “le” tadi. Sampe gw dipanggilnya “Lady Gaga”. Anaknya suka ngomong non sense yang ga penting tapi kocak. Katanya udah punya pacar. agak tidak percaya si tapi mungkin bener.

Yaa harusnya gw latihan presentasi tapi entah kenapa lagi ga mood. Nanti aja deh latihannya. Udah dibaca ini dari kemaren.

Wish Me luck!

p.s: i hate it when people talk about my dad's income and how easily i can get money from him. FYI i don't know how much he's worth and it's not your damn business to judge.

Papoy?

Thursday, February 24, 2011 by Adinda Medina

I just watched “Despicable Me” last night. IT’S SO CUTE I’M GONNA DIEEE!!
Too bad i didn’t see it in cinema but it’s still worth watching. I love all the minions scene – or I’d like to call it papoy from the scene when they were talking about unicorn plush.

PAPOYYY!!
