This is my confession of being a Christian Woman, which is leads to many interpretation how to live in the right path. Many people will judge me and over analyse my entire journey of life, even it was my past which is i used to be a non-believer. I am as a first kid from three siblings, live in a small family with a great parents. I never expect to have an education in overseas, because i realise that my family is not even rich. We live in a medium size house in North Jakarta, my achievement in school is not the best, i was quite shy and more likely to be introvert. But i love to have an activity like sport and i join an activity named Paskibra, it is not kind of Soldier, but more to a group of people to walk in a row with a same step of walking and dress in a white uniform to celebrate the Independent Day every 17 August. Though people might see it very easy as a piece of cake, i should tell you, its not! We need practice every day with a lot of sweat from that bright sun that even tan my skin. The Senior sometime are very fierce and punish us with push up, scot jump or run in a court like 50 times if we did some mistake and we should follow the rules or otherwise they count our mistake and we should redeem it by punishment. The positive side of this community is we learn to be strong, not weak and how to encourage each person, and solitude in our friendship.
That's some peek of my high school story, which is not really interesting as others. Well, once i has a not-so-called-boyfriend which is typically of Monkey-Love, i had on the third grade of Senior High School, he is older than me a few months and smarter than me. He is not even tall or slim, like any other Favourite Boy in School. But he is funny and sociable, thats what i like. At this stage of love life, i realise, that love need communication and trust. Once you had loose it, the other partner will be questioning and trying to break up when He/She don't have any effort to make it up. My kind of dating is a group people hang out, like watch movie and dinner. Some time we also had a personal time. Well i don't hate him or curse him, i just don't want to talk to him any longer, after we decided to break up. The reason is because, i plan my study in Malaysia, while he study in Jakarta. Well, we ended up to break the relationship, simply because we hate Long Distance kind of Relation. Thats my first love life, but he is not my first love, i have one a charming boy in Primary School (elementary). He is tall, skinny, white and many girls adore him. It was on grade 6th, i don't even get any period yet, i get it from Secondary School, maybe on grade 8th (if i am not mistaken). I was quite late, many of my friends are earlier than me, some people say, it because they eat to many Fried Chicken which is have a lot of Hormone? hehehe... that's sound so wrong. Now i have a different kind of man i like, i prefer someone who beautiful on the inside and He should Worship God.
The Journey begin when i decided to study in KL, Malaysia. I took a Visual Communication in Advance as my major. As i had three option : Graphic Design, Hospitality (tourism & hotel) and Fashion Design. I choose Graphic Design, because it was the first choice and my parents help me to pick that option. Well i am not regret it my decision, because after all, it goes well on me. Before i leave my hometown, i prepare my English TOEFL with my high school friend name Carolina and i practice how to clean home, cook by myself, all train from my Mom. LOL. So i can manage everything when i don't have any maid in the apartment. My Mom are great chef at home, i love her cooking and i always miss it, i love to cook simple food like Sapo Tahu, Mie Goreng, Tempe Orak Arik, Sop Sayur, etc. When the day is come, i was ready to go over board and my parents help me to pack with a lot of stuff like Personal Goods, Clothing, Medicine, Foods (i know my mom is the best, she pack me a lot of snacks like biscuits, abon, chilli sauce, or instant noodle that surely to be missed from other country) Thanks Mom and Dad for your effort to send me for study, i am thankful and blessed. My Dad accompany me to KL for 3 days, so me and my friend Carol together with her Dad as well had a great time to discover new culture, new environment in Kuala Lumpur. It was guide with beautiful lady Reii Pyn, she is the one who show us where to stay, where to eat, etc. She is very kind lady, while my dad is stay at hotel. Me and my friend unpacked our luggage and unload the stuff into our bedroom, it was master bedroom, we share and there is a bathroom and a desk for both of us. We decide to split the bed into single from king size bed. The first time i went to KLCC and the twins tower was like WOW, i amaze with this tower named Petronas. We go to the highest floor, (at that time the entry was free) and we can see the view from bridge, its was very phenomenal and amazing.
We also have a leisure time, enjoying the city, by mall hoping, from KLCC to Bukit Bintang, Sungai Wang and of course the famous street Alor, with a lot of galore of Food. They offer a wide range of cuisine, like chinese food, thai food, malay food, seafood, etc. But the most important things is DURIAN Musaking, the famous and only one in KL that had been sold for many decade. The smell is very fragrant and the flesh is very soft with yellow colour. One thing i dislike is the smell, it quite strong and if u eat in a room with a full of air con, it absorbed easily and make me want to puke.
The funny moment is, my Mom call from Jakarta and say she miss me by looking from my Sandal. She cried. Oohh i feel bad, i miss you as well Mom. But don't worry i can take care of myself and be a good student in KL. Me and Carolina has to say good bye to our Dad who has to go back to Jakarta to work as a businessman. I feel not sad or cry, i don't know why, because i know this is gonna be a good living in KL. The first class i have is an English Class which is taught by a local Malaysian Woman. She is has a big posture and had a hijab. I had the class for about 1 to 2 terms. One terms is about 3 months, and every week only have 1 or two class. The other beginner class is from Tadaffee who teach us about Design Culture, he is very nice teacher. He has a sweet smile and loveable, i remember the project he gave us to paint a shoes from our drawing. Very fun class indeed. He also teach a Basic Photograph Class, how to capture a good shoot of photo like building, flowers, animal, etc. How to get an angle, and get a different style of photo. The other class is to edit picture of flower that had converted into Sephia or Black and White Colour. What we should do is to re-colour and add some effect of water drop. I admit it was quite hard back then, after we finish with a date line that had been set up. We have to print it out in Printing Shop and Present it in front of the class. If i am not mistaken the shop is in PETALING JAYA STREET. (not wangsa maju, which is i stay in Serimaya Apartment, for my internship in Petaling Jaya, i took almost 40 minutes to reach there)
The other favourite teacher is the strong and beautiful lady, Fiyon. She is very strict and stylish, she teach us how to be a beginner of Graphic Designer by hand drawing. Thats why we should buy a lot of stationary in China Town, from Art Pen, Drawing Book, Pencil, Ruler, Water Colour, Pastel Colour, etc. It was quite fun, that we travel from Ampang to China Town with a train (LRT). It cost less than 10 RM. You can find a lot of fake branded handbag in China Town, Shoes and there is a Roasted Chestnuts, Herbal Egg, Dragon Candy (korean candy, like floss with crushed peanut inside). what i remember is we had a good time devour a meal in KFC, which is shock me, they don't serve rice instead of Mashed Potatoes and Bread. Their Cheese Potato Wedges are so dayum good.
Okay stop talking about food, the lesson is not only about buying those stuff, but the point is drawing and have to clean in a size of square 20 x 20 cm. CLEAN remember must CLEAN, no dirt or ink drop, have to cover the Art Paper with a black paper, and stick to the Art Paper. The date line are killing me, as i have to find a concept for my drawing, me and Carol and the other friend like Yohana, Selly have to gather in a dining table and do the stuff, because the light is much better than in the bed room. There is so many task in the same and short time. i remember that i draw a building of KLCC with Art Drawing Pen, with a needle of 0.5 mm which is very berry thin, and fragile to be broken (have to handle with care). And there are still many drawing have to be done. One class, from Fiyon as well, we have to make a creative book, more likely to diary book. you can add any stamp, food package, leaves, or a newspaper, as crazy as you want. This book shows our creativity and each progress have to be shown to the lecture with approval. Thanks Fiyon for the great time. I love her class, Identity System and Graphic Production. My final project of Identity System was displayed on the hall with a frame, together with other students. My project name Blumit (it was combination of Bloom and It). A plants that grow from an egg shell, i create a character and the stationary, logo, uniform, vehicle and the colour is Green. I add this project on my portfolio. Well, graphic production teach me to make a miniature from paper to be a box paper toy, with an illustration of face and i did it in Adobe Illustrator, it was fun and take a lot of time to be done. Other project on that class is, to make a series of paper finishing like Die Cut, Perforation, Gold Stamp, UV Varnish, Glossy, Spot UV, CMYK with a selection of paper from a company that been selected by Fiyon. The point is i have to pour out my creativity into the paper, to make it more interesting and the finishing is done manually, no machine, except the illustration that made in Adobe Illustrator (at that time, Adobe was still CS, now already CS 6, FTW!!) Time flies so fast, i should admit i get older.
