i woke up with tears in my eyes. it 6 days to my departure and i am so sad. even my boyfriend felt the same. hehe. i will miss my family a lot. i will miss my ‘home’ where i belong to. but as i’ve shared previously, this is life stage i must go through. anyway, i will share couple of things i will worry and miss about living abroad :
- can i easily adjusted with new environment? with the life, working and studying ethics there? can i get along well with the people? can i interact and communicate well with them? is my english skill sufficient? can i graduate on time? can i understand the lectures? can i find a suitable job right after?? and still lots of questions related to this topic. oh God, please lead me.
- my family. i will miss them a lot. though i didn’t live together with them 5 years past, i could always meet them at least once in a month and we still live in the same country that makes everything easier. but now, i’m going thousand miles from Indonesia. different country where different local time exists (6 or 7 hours differences) and thus it’s not that easy to keep in touch to each other. fiuh. and i won’t fly back to Indonesia until i finish my master or for very very very very important reason. God bless my family.
- the-cheap-and-rich-of-spices-Indonesian-food. i was in England a year ago. i ended up eating KFC everyday. haha. i guess, i will cook my dishes myself to cut expenses. hehe.
- facial!!! well, with the fact of my very very sensitive skin, i need to do facial at least once in a month. but there, where can i do the facial??? and moreover, how much do i have to pay? hahaha. i will bring the face cream (hahaha, bad word!) from Indonesia and find a suitable place do the facial there.
- can i cover my living costs with the amount of money mom and dad gave to me?? hehe. i’ve promised myself i won’t ask for more except for very very very important thing. so i guess i will find a part time job at the campus. hopefully the salary is quite enough to spend on shopping or go traveling. hahaha. and i can still study well, too. hehe.
- the atmosphere of my hometown. believe me, i’m going to really miss the atmosphere of my hometown no matter if people keeps saying bad things about Indonesia.
- where can i buy DVD bajakan? hehe.
- how if i get sick? i can’t go the doctor if it isn’t a serious injury. and besides, making an appointment with doctor there is not as easy as here in Indonesia. oh no. i hope i won’t get sick. i have to keep my stamina. hehe.
and still lot of things. God bless me! hehe. however, wherever i go, i must think globally and act locally! i won’t forget my hometown.n 
wish me luck guys!!

hi, i’ve found this place from alexa and i remember this is my second time here.
i started to live abroad since highschool and i feel myself pretty experienced when i read your worries.
girl, they are all real but not so important expect few of them. since i got bored sitting here at my desk, let me give them a try:
1- i don’t know you but you seem to me as a very strong girl and i feel you are mature than your age. so i say you’ll have no worries in this one.
2- well we place our family to a special place in our hearts but when you are alone that mean you have a family of your own to take care of. your family will be there waiting for you all the time when you need them. so put them in a special box in your heart before you go and you’ll have no worries in this one either.
3- man o man, food is so important. don’t think if you cook it will be cheaper. girl, worry about this one!
4- facial? i don’t get this one? maybe because i am not a girl. but i have a strange feeling about number 4 might have hidden meanings in it… mmm?
5- again, i don’t know you nor your family. BUT don’t lose your focus. if you are going for study that means you must focus on that. don’t try to earn money if you can not keep up with your study.
6- well you are going in a different atmosphere for sure. try to enjoy it.
7- what is bajakan?
8- the most important one is this. don’t get sick. make sure you have enough friends to support you in a case of emergency. i believe your school covers for basic health matters and even if you thing it is not serious go and see a doctor to make sure.
hey good luck to you, to your family and your boyfriend.
hello, kha. glad to have your comment here
i’ll really think about your words. they mean a lot to me. thank youuu
p.s. thx for number 1!!! such a great compliment.
