2017

Its been a long time since any post is posted here. I’m too busy to actually write anything here. Well you know its an excuse. Its on how you manage your priorities. As a final year student here in Kosen, the study load is not as harsh as what had I endured last year. But to pursue my study to degree level, I need to take the university entrance exam. Passing it will make my life in Japan 2 years longer. It’s a long fight until I finally accepted to a university that I wanted to transfer to for my degree. To be honest I almost gave up but Allah answered my pray and show the best for me, Alhamdulilah. For almost 3 years since the first time I set my foot here, somehow I had grew some affection to its culture and people. Life is different here, most of the time it is in fast pace, chasing deadline, struggling for exams. Then there is time when you feel like you had done everything you need to be done. Free of any burden and have plenty time to spend but somehow you feel empty. Something is missing. As a Muslim going back to our creator is the best way to fulfill the emptiness. And as a Muslim we knew that we are created to be in pair. And process in finding your pair is a bit complicated. It’s depends on what you seek, a desperate measure to have bf/gf or finding a life time partner.

‘Seishun’, a word in Japanese, describing a period in life which you are young, strong and brave. Young to fearlessly face challenge and physically strong to do what you want to do. ‘Seishun’ is also refer as a period when you face your first love, either knowing it or having it. It will be a story you will telling you grandchildren in their bed time and can’t afford to not smiling remembering it. I can call myself as someone who is facing this period, and badly falling too lol.

I never wrote anything too personal here. Since many of my friends and junior know who is the writer of this blog, writing something sensitive here will only make things goes worse. Will I, against any of my principle going to write it here?. No. But teasing you guys will be pleasure to me. If any of you, for some reason, had found this lame blog, and somehow dearly enough to read this very line, thank you.

I met a lot of people, surprisingly, at this young age. It’s the perk of studying oversea I guess. Meeting people from countries that you only knew their countries names from books. And somehow I manage to get very personal with them in sharing their life story; struggle or even their opinion about love. The definition of their ideal partner is always differ from other. Some still didn’t have their own definition on what kind of person suits them the best. But the things that you want is not always the best thing for you. It’s something we believe in Islam, qada and qadar, where what god had set for us is the best for us. And praying to make the things that you want, to be the best for you is an effort need to be done by a believing Muslim.

      A half year past since the last time I wrote last paragraph. A lot things happen and 2017 has been the toughest year of my life. A year which I need to be strong for my own sake and for those who care for me. Rejection, failure and misfortune hit me hard but seasons keep changing. A harsh and cold winter night will be soon be replace with warm and beautiful spring. So does our life. Whenever life hit you hard, just keep standing back and remember that it will pass soon or later.
Hardship teach us about how strong we actually are.  I’m grateful to have supportive people around me, helping me during those harsh time. Their number is small but its better than having a thousand companion who don’t really care about you. I learnt a lot in hard way but those experience taught me well. On what I has been chasing and what really suit me. But I can’t tell that I already has an answer to the golden question, who is the one. Lol.

 1 month more to go and I will graduate from this school. Fukui Kousen. It’s a mix feeling, to be sad or happy to finally leaving this school. A lot of memories has been made here. Those sleepless night studying for exam or finishing assignment. Cooking together for school festive or spending time together doing stupid crazy things. Seeing people we attached to, to go and being replace with new people each year. Its somehow feel weird to be the one who are leaving this place this march. Maybe I will miss this very moment, sitting in this small room, typing this very post despite of tons work waiting to be finish for my final year project. 頑張って行こう
