  • a time machine

    Hello! I just got back to the present after travelling back in time. LOL JK. I went to an old cinema in Garut downtown with May and AF today because we were bored. And by ‘old’, I mean ‘reaaaaaally old’. Look at these pictures:

    There were only two films being played there. One was Mama Minta Pulsa (a horror film) and the other was Broken Hearts (a drama), both were old films that aren’t played in Bandung anymore. We chose Broken Hearts because we didn’t think Mama Minta Pulsa was a good film (it’s Indonesian horror film. Haha!) The ticket price was only IDR 8K, can you believe it? 😀

  • weekend is for…

    I’m currently taking some days off from the service for the rest of the weekend. I had been feeling homesick since the beginning of the week and things got worst on Thursday, so I decided to go home on Friday morning. I went home with a plan to deal with a big problem that had been bugging me for the last two months. But then I decided that it was best to postpone it until the end of the service. I spent the weekend with P and my family instead. I had missed them like crazy and I think they are what’s most important right now. I hope when I go back to Sindangmekar tomorrow morning, I would be in a better condition so that I could stay there in peace and enjoy doing the service for the rest of the 30 days left.

  • student community service: day 7

    Good morning from Sindangmekar! Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. I have yet to get a proper internet connection on my laptop. I’m currently writing on the Blogger app for Android. This app sucks at managing pictures, so this post doesn’t have any images like the rest of my blog.

    The purpose of this post is actually to tell you that I’m still alive! Haha. I already feel homesick since two days ago, but I’m trying to deal with it. P said it might be because I still don’t have anything to do, so this morning I did the chores from 4.30 am to 6.45 nonstop. It helped a lot. I feel a little bit better now 🙂

    Still 33 days to go, guys. Wish me luck with this homesickness. Ugh!

  • student community service: day 3

    Yesterday and today was mainly spent by walking around the village and socialising with the people, introducing ourselves and our programs to them. The village is located in a mountain so the climate is quite extreme compared to Bandung. The afternoon is hot, whilst the night is very cold. I’m still trying to get used to taking a bath with extremely cold water. I managed to wash my hair this morning, by the way (yay me!!!)

    Still 37 days to go. Go me!

  • student community service: day 1 and 2

    Good afternoon from Garut!

    Student Community Service finally started yesterday. We took off from Bandung at about 10 PM and arrived at downtown Garut at lunch time. We had lunch there before heading off to Sindangmekar, a village in which we are going to spend the next five weeks. Everything’s been good so far, except for the fact that my left foot is now bruised because of nothing. I’m quite sure that the whole five weeks is going to be fun. I’m going to miss P (badly!) but he said he would visit me next week. I’m going to miss my family too, especially my sister, but I may go home once or twice. I hope I can handle the homesickness. I told you I have never been away from home for more than ten days, so this service can be a sort of measurement on how much of a spoiled city girl I am. Haha!

    Also, the internet connection from this village is not that good. I apologise if I become MIA in the next five weeks. But I surely will find some way to get a better connection.

    See you!
