LIVING LIVE TO THE FULLEST
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. Continue reading “The Day Turning into 23 yo!”
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
Have you ever seen Frangipani flower?
In Indonesia, folks call this frangipani flower as Kamboja of Jepun flower. It is a tropical flower that mostly have white flower with yellow in the center. Commonly used in the beauty shop or spa due to the sheer beauty and sweet scent. As i have ever seen, each Frangipani flower could have a different number of petals. Sometimes you might find flower with 4, 5, 6 petals but mostly is 5 petals (odd number).
Indonesian people have a lot of myth. One of the is a myth about this flower. You know, if each flower has different petals. If you can find a frangipani flower with 4 or 6 petals (even number), you are lucky. Why?
There is no scientific reason. Just because we (indonesian or for specifically Javanese) believe,”if you find that flower and put in the book, your dream will come true or something good will be happen in your life.”
Someone believe, “if you put that flower in your purse , you will have more money in your wallet.”
It sound silly, doesn’t it? But i do believe that story since i was child.
And then, accidentally, when i was playing in the backyard last morning, i found this flower. I just shocked and felt happy at that time. That was my first time in my life, i find that flower. Not in Indonesia, but in Perth, Australia (just temporary living here). After that i put that flower in my purse then i moved to inside of the book. Hopefully, i will have very good luck.
Just in one day after i got that flower, something good happened to me. First, i got a call from job agency saying that he can give me a job in Kununura, WA. But i didn’t take that because i have already booking flight from Perth to Cairns. Second, my friends from Netherlands that i just met coincidentally invited me in her house. She asked me to teach her how to cook Nasi Goreng (famous Indonesian food). We did cook that food and have very nice chat, and guess what? I figure out, previously she lived in Cairns. She helps me to find a job. I am wondering and thinking…
Is this lucky because of finding Frangipani flower that have 4 petals?
I am not sure actually. Just keep making a good suggestion in your thought.
You can believe on that myth if you want. ^^
