The Day Turning into 23 yo!

23 years old…

What do you think about that age? Is that age included in category young or old?

If in Indonesia, that age is included old, adult, for women. Some people, mostly, will start asking about your relationship, when will you married, your career or something like that. That is really different in here, Australia. 23 years old still in category very young for women. No one will ask you something like that. 

Kota kecil bernama Cairns #WHV

Yak, berhubung lagi day-off  dan gak tau lagi mau ngapain, akhirnya memutuskan nulis sesuatu di blog. Sekilas info, sekarang diriku ini sedang terdampar di tempat terpelosok, jauh dari mana-mana, in the middle of nowhere. Next time, i will tell you about this place.

How Does It Feel Working in Chinese Food Restaurant? #WHV

I just wake up today at 4 a.m, 2 hours earlier than I planned. Tried to sleep again and closed my eyes but were not working. Then I just washed my eyes, made a hot chocolate, grabbed some food, started turning on my laptop and writing.

Is it hard becoming an adult? Just simple reflection

Sometimes I am just wondering, what kind of life is this? What I am actually looking for? What I really want to be? Which paths should I choose? Is it the right way?

So much question in this life, right?

After I moved to Cairns, Queensland, Australia. I met a lot of Indonesian friends. They were and still struggling to look for a job to get a second year working holiday visa.  I did that as well.

Here, I have 4 close friends that always spent time with.  Almost every day we meet for sharing every single information about jobs or just chill out in esplanade or Cairns Central. We have the same feeling, confused and anxious how if we can not find a job. Eventually, one by one, we got a job. Even though the job is not counting for a second-year visa, we took that job to survive living in Australia. You know, the living cost in here is expensive.

But that is not the main point I want to talk.

One of my friends told me being an adult is really hard. Why? Because we have to take our decision by ourselves, especially when you far away from your parent, leaving your own comfort zone and struggle to get a job. Even if, you do not stay with your parent anymore, you still have to discuss with them about the job.  And sometimes, our thoughts and parents are not in the same direction. This made more complicated, right?

In sum, I just find a new song that the lyric is really suited for our condition. Below is the lyric….

It won’t  be easy, becoming an adult

Everyone feels the same as you

Let’s have strength, go back to who you are

Let’s sing a song of hope again

You can look forward to the world that waiting for you

We can start running again

If you get worn out and you want to give up

Just sing a song of joy cheerfully

One day, today will become memories

Let’s be thankful

Remember it and cheers up

The lyric is pretty good for me. Whatever life happen today, just enjoying to pass it. Have a beautiful mind that you will surpass all the hard moment.

So, the answer is YES. Being adult is hard, but nobody tells that we can not exceed that, can we?

Have a beautiful mind that you will surpass all the hard moment.

Remember, the hard ways will lead you to the beautiful place. Do you agree with this quote?

PS:

The title of that song is “JOY”. This is the soundtrack of Korean drama named The Liar and His Lover *LOL
