I just want...

I just want to feel belong. 

I want to heal, I want to feel, 
What I thought was never real 
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain 'til it's gone) 
I want to heal, I want to feel…

Graduation!

5/15/2017

The highlight of my day, it's finally my graduation! It wasn't easy to finish your college in 3 years. Tears and sweat was paid off. 
When I first came to United States, 
I was a very timid girl. I did not have any friend or anyone to rely on. My family, friends, and everyone who supported me is back home. 
I was shy, I did not know how to approach people or talk to them. 
I was scared, to explore and get out of my comfort zone. 
I was weak, to survive the engineering world by my own. 

But I take this weaknesses as my chances to grow up, to be a better person. These three years taught me a lot. How to be brave, how to be adventurous, how to deal with myself. I started joining student councils, I started to be a leader, I started to be a teacher, and I started to be a human. I never taught that I would do all these things 5 years ago, but look at me. I made it!
Wearing this graduation gown make me realize that my journey has just begun. I need to grab as many chances I can, to be a better person that I was.

Asia Backpacking: Singapore and Indonesia

12/25/2016
I took a bus from Johor Bahru to Singapore. Checked in my bag and waited for my friends to arrive at the airport. We visited the Merlion!
Fun Fact: A Merlion is half lion and half mermaid. It was a myth saying that it is protecting Singapore. That's the reason why Merlion is located at the end of Singapore 

Red dot museum has a collection of unique innovation from all over the world that won multiples award. All the product designs are the original design from the innovator and get commercialized on the later on. It promotes creativity and encourages people to view these products from a different perspective.

We spent few more days in Singapore and visited cool places.

Then we flew to Jogjakarta. I really wanted to visit the Borobudur temple, so I decided to visit Jogjakarta instead of Jakarta. It was super crowded, but the view is so worth it. Then we walked around Jogjakarta and experience the local attractions.

Well, that's a short trip to these two countries in a week. I had fun but I did not take a lot of pictures.
