A glimpse of past

12.23 pm, the crystal of knowledge, University of Indonesia

The day is so beautiful today.

Really, I’m not lying. The sun and the breeze are just perfect though this still in the middle of rainy season. The sky is so clear, the swishing wind blows between the leaves.

I took bicycle earlier today to go to central library. Eversince I acknowledged myself that I am able to ride a bicycle, I prefer to go to many places in ui by bike, not on foot anymore. Because, as I consider it furthermore, it’s just the same amount of energy that I emit by riding bicycle and going on foot as well.

Yep, riding bicycle has become the new hobby of mine. I admit that I’m not a really good rider, but I am on my way to be one. Besides, it is one of the way to learn how to ride motorcycle too. My dad really urges me to learn riding motorcycle ASAP. Eugh..i actually like it and yeah I curious of it too…but then, no one has the time to teach me riding motorcycle. So, how can i? hum, yeah it is still a big question mark in me.

Oh well…the wind really blowing so gorgeously outside. I actually prefer to ride bicycle in this kind of weather rather than spending my time in library. But, I have presentation and exam today. So, I gotta study otherwise, I will score badly in class. So yeah, I really don’t want that to be happen.

Ooups, this writing or maybe so-called-online-journal has gone too far from the main frame that I really wanna talk about. So yeah, let’s get back to the main idea that I wanna discuss, reader! ^^

When I rode bicycle before I came here, I found it so beautiful outside. I know, and I can sense the same sunshine when I was living in Gilimanuk. Except, the air feel clear and there is no smell of sea in depok. Yup, because depok is near mountainous area in Bogor. Oh, Gilimanuk! Again! Yep, somehow, I just looooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeee that little fishing village so much, and I also missing it sooooooooooooo badly. Trust me, I am willing to give away things I have here in depok, just to get back there. Oh, wait, maybe not everything, but maybe most of it ^^, *wink wink*

I feel the warm of sunshine on my skin as if it was the same sunshine when I used to go out from unit to take a lunch break. The sun was really hot, the weather is so dry and you got to see goat, chicken and cows everywhere. I really miss walking in that hot sunshine but with the smell of the sea around me. 1 kilometer away, and I found Bali Strait, right in front of me with the view of mountains in east java.

When I lived in gilimanuk, my sort of entertainment there were only playing game on my laptop. None of my teammates brought tv (of, course!). So yeah, I must entertain myself by going around the village, sometimes went to town of Negara or maybe just goofying around in Singaraja.

Oh God…reader, you have no idea how I am longing to get back there. I swear to Allah that I miss Gilimanuk so much. Not even in a blink of an eye I ever forgot it. It’s been two years since I left gilimanuk. Time really went so fast, huh? So yeah…I am dying to go back there.

When I talked to my friend whose lived in gilimanuk with me before, none of them seem so miss it. Unlike me, you know. Well, maybe because most of them working full time, so they do’'t have spare time like me.

And oh! I have great news!

I already got permission from my parents to go back to Gilimanuk this february. I am going to spend the rest of my holiday and I also have plan to arrange my final project there. One of the operator in Gilimanuk, brother ricky, as I used to call him, agree to arrange and help me out about my final task. Awesome!

I feel so lucky and happy at the same time. Eventough some things not really worked well in my life, but I gotta face it bravely and I hope after I got back from gilimanuk I will feel refresh and ready to conquer the world once again.

Many things happen In the past two years. 2010 was great, 2011 was worse, so I am hoping for 2012 to be so much better than the past one. I am planning to arrange my holiday next week. Going to make some calls to the people I know. Good preps will make a beautiful holiday, I hope so.

Oups, the clock says 12.54 pm now. Well, I gotta stop writing about this otherwise I can’t answer the questions in PPKM exam.

See you on the next story of mine. I hope whoever read this post will enjoy it. Thank you so much ^^

And Gilimanuk, just wait up for me. I will go back to the place where I belong!
