pekerjaan yang aku pilih

many people especially my friends, family and other fellas ask or wondering* what do i do in abroad? do i study? or working. i can answer both of them are my job, studying and working.

studying, i can said that this is the life education to live abroad because you will find many different thing , right now i am staying in the cold place in Artic cirlce, of course it will be 90% different with my tropical island indonesia, i need to learn how to survive here without family, friend ,relative and fellas, i only have host family. the second chance in this, i learn how to deal with the food, i had leave in indonesia almost 25 years, in that time i always eat rice 3 times per day, and other spicy food, and in this new place you need to deal to eat bread as your main food and no more spicy food.

ya aku mememilih untuk jadi nanny di luar negeri, mungkin bagi banyak orang di indonesia pekerjaan yang sangat rendah, kau tak perlu untuk sekolah tinggi untuk menjadi seoarang pengasuh anak, mbak2 atau bibik2. aku memilih pekerjaan ini karena aku menictai dunia anak kecil, aku mencintai bekerja dengan mereka dan tak ada keingignannanku untuk bekerja menjadi wanita karirer yang berkarier di perusahaan besar 

galau and ikhlas he.......he

Dadakan galau ketika habis skype sama winda, as usual it is always about future , marry, job, and place to stay.
many of my friend call me Bolang but i dont really care about it. i just want to try to explore Allah´s world as far as  i can. tapi tiba tercetus juga pertanyaan entah dari teman atau from my parent , how long will you live like this? nah kalau udh gini mulai nyari kaca mulai miki umur.....bla.bla dan segala tetek benget yang saya sebut tanggungan sosial, huf susahnya jadi wanita ini apalgi wanita indonesia.

Marry

One of my big dream now

pertanyaan ini sudah sering saya dengar , tapi paling sering genjar di tanyakan ketika saya pulan kampung, maybe i had long time did not come back to my hometown, a small village in Province Bengkulu, and when i back i am still single, so it was not strange if people especially relative ask about it, in my age almost all of my friend they had get marriage with one or two kids now, and me i am almos 27 and still single, hoaf.........nah the problem i when you gonna get marry you can not do it alone he...............he you need to have a man to marry with, of course it is not a easy task to find the right man to marry with, you can not ask a strange man and then ask him * wanna you marry me? if i can do that maybe i wanna ask Akon to marry ha...............ha. of course i wanna marry, actually i really want marry now, have my own family rise my cute kids and also give my best to my husband. maybe god just not send me my man yet, i am praying alot not for this one, so now i just be patient to wait for my man to come to pick me with him.

the second thing that make me risau alias galau adalah tentang future job

i love kids and cook so the most thing that i really want to work with in the future is working with kids or own a small restaurant or coffe shop and cake shop, and other thing i love to do is working with kids as a preschool teacher

Buka Restaurant 

Jadi Guru untuk anak kecil

toret...........toret yang terakhir adalah tempat untuk seatlle he.............he

i have born in really small village name Bandung Marga it is in indoenesia called as Desa tertinggal karena listrik baru masuk ketempat ini di era milenium tahun 2001, but lucky me i just live there for one year, after that since i was 1 year old my family move to other place it is about 40 km from it. i live there until i almost 19 and then move to Salatiga central java. i lived there almost 5 years, i also get chance to stay in Wonosobo for two months. after graduated i stayed in Ambon for two months. after that i moved to Jayapura and lived there for one year. was Jayapura as my last place to live, oh gosh it was not, after that i moved to Holland an stayed there for one years also. now i am staying in Norwegia, probably i will stay here for two years maximum, so still no clue where will i will settle to live someday. but how ever , i will stayed where my heart belong to, so it is still looking for to whom my heart belong to.


itulah sekelumit galau tentang 3 hal yang sangat menggangu, biasa namany juga galau wka................wka 

a place name Lofoten

if people ask me , where do i live now? i prefer to answer that i live in North Polar, ya because there is no different between my place and North Polar,both of them are in the Artic. Lofoten island maybe for many people in indonesia never knew about this place, it is same like here, maybe for many people here, Indonesia also the strange place that they never hear about it. so here i am in LOfoten island.

* Location and population*

*Activity in Lofoten*

maybe many people will think * What can people do in this island?* it must be really cold there. Lofoten is one of one amazing place in the world, even the location the same with Alaska, Iceland,Greenland but Lofoten has mild temperature in the winter, Winter temperatures in Lofoten are very mild considering their location north of the Arctic Circle – Lofoten has the largest positive temperature anomaly in the world relative to latitude. This is a result of the Gulf Stream( wikipedia) the coldest record people here told about minus 20. I had stayed in Nederland for one year , sometime i can say that Holland is colder than here.  many activity we can do in lofoten, as the most tourist destination in Norge, so you will really close with nature only nature, so let's check out what can we do in lofoten during for season Winter, Summer, spring and Autum.

Winter 

i arrived on 28 March here, actually it is spring but there still many snow, ya not really winter but still half winter and spring i think,i will told about winter and what the interesting thing we can find in the winter.

Aurora di malam hari

Bias Aurora di langit berbintang

Desa Nelayan di selimuti salju

Penjemuran ikan Cod

as an archipelago , lofoten has many hill so sky is one of the famoust place, but the bad thing as people who lived almost 25 years in tropical island i am sure i dont really like it. the second one is time to see Aurora the light in the sky that happened in the winter in the Artic or antartika. Lofoten is one of the suitable place to see aurora. so Retno and Enny dont forget to come to see it ok, i will wait ( kalau tidak keburu cap cus he......he)

Summer,spring and Autum

when season turn to summer. lofoten will become really nice place, many people from around the world will visit lofoten,and of course many activity we can do here such as hiking, fishing,surfing,hunting,kayak,biking,and maybe swiming,because it is still a little bit winter no so i dont  not yet what can we do in summer exactly. i just collect many pictures that i took from other source about activity in summer. oh ya one of interisting thing in summer we can see midnight sun ( atau matahari tengah malam) so check out the picture he.......he

 pulau lofoten dan aku

for me lofoten is an unique place and really amazing even i feel freezing and really lonely here, but being here it is like one of my dream become true, i always dream to live in the house where the location in the hill and not so far  i can see sea, ya exactly almost like i dream of even not really like my dream. Here the melody of loneliness, cold and beauty of nature mix in one melody and bring an symponi. lofoten also full of old fisherman who live in care house for old people.

Lofoten merupakan perpaduan kesunyian dan keindahan, ini dapat saya rasakan ketika satu sore saya mengunjungi satu tempat di tepi laut lepas norwegia, dan yang aku dengar hanya bunyi ombak, angin dan nyayian burung. tiba-tiba mataku menangis dan tak tahu aku merasakan dekapan alam yang begitu indah memelukku, seperti cerita khyalan yang perna aku dengar tenang denitng biola laki-laki tua di tepi pantai dan aku merasa ingin menjadi sperti lelaki tua itu memainkan biola ( sisi lebay muncul he.......he). aku bagian dari kesunyian walau kadang aku juga bosan dengan kesunyian dan sering aku menangis karena aku sendiri, di sini di pulau yang jauh ribuan mil dari keluargaku. mungkin terasa berat kadang. Di pulau ini aku sering menangis tanpa alasan dan kadang aku merasakan betapa hebatnya tuhan dia sering menyembunyikan surga di tempat terpencil , ada beberapa tempat yang sangat suka saya pergi dan menyendiri, gereja di puncak tebing dan dari sana saya bisa melihat laut lepas, atau berjalan menyusuri desa nelayan dengan penjemuran ikannya, yang membuat aku mreindukan ikan asin di rumah ketika aku menciumnya. aku suka nyanyian sepi dari angin dan itu selalu aku nikmati saat malam menjelang di kamar dekat penghngat, kadang hanya membaca buku dan menulis yang dapat aku lakukan, tak ada televisi di tempatku yang hanya ad buku-buku dan buku terpaksa aku harus menjad profesor dadakan, namun keingingna ku untuk menulis lagi mucul dan bisa di bilang aku kemali jatuh cinta untuk menulis. inilah ceritaku kawan sepenggal kisah akan naska kehidupan yang harus aku lakukan ku harap bisa menyelsaikan peranku hingga akhir dan saat ini mari saya menari bersama alam .

God bless you , thank you for reading

Nb. All pictures are not mine , i took it from other sources but many of them from google image.

kekuatan satu hari

ya Allah aku tak minta dirimu untuk memberi aku kekuatan untuk menghadapi hidupku ke depan, tolong berikan aku kekuatan untuk menghadapi hari ini saja.
Karena kadang terasa berat untuk menjalani hari, tapi jadikan aku seseorang yang tak mudah menyerah, seseorang yang sekuat mampuh untuk menjadi seperti karang di tengah badai kehidupanku.jadikan aku kuat ya Allah demi sesuatu yang aku tidak tahu untuk apa semua alasan hingga kau kirim aku ke sini, tolong berikan aku kekuatan. Amie..n

welcome to north pole

kita tidak perna tahu, di belahan bumi mana pada satu saat kita  akan berada, Allah telah menyiapkan sebuah rancangan indah akan kehidupan kita, dan aku percaya sesuatu yang indah yang telah dia siapakn untuk kehidupanku saat ini.

i star my life here, in the place that never dream to be here, but without i know the destiny brings me here, far........far away from my family, my friend, and i must be ready to life like a prisoner in the strange island without know any body. life sometime happen really strange with many surprise we never want, if i can choose i never want to be here, to be in the place that really strange for  people in Indonesia.

maybe it is one of God 's surprise for me, to know more about the meaning of thankful to the god for every
chance in my life.

my Journey from  indonesia to  Lofoten island

actually it will be a ltitle bit long story for me to write about the process to go here until come here, i come as Au pair to know more what is au pair, you can check google alias tanya mbah google  what is the meaning of this. i have been prepare for this job started from november 2012, i did the appilaction process for the visum star in Holland because the visum need four month to be grandted by UDI ( it is imigration for Norwegia) and i can take my visum in Indonesia . the process is not really hard for me, just need to wait, and finally on february the Norwegian emabassy in Jakarta call me and inform me that i can pick up the visa, so by 13 March 2013 i got Norge's visum in my passport, now i have two visum in my passport and of course i am really glad to see it, and i promise myself that one day there will be American visa for study ( Amei................n)

after got the visum i just need to wait for the day to come, i will fly to Oslo by Qatar Airways , so i did two transit Doha the capital of Qatar and then Oslo and Bodoo. like i told before it is really long ............long flight, so me and my host family need stay in Oslo for one night.

the flight from Jakarta to Oslo really nice, i like the service in Qatar but i think Emirates is the best i ever tried but i still curios to try other flight. after 19 hours flight finally i come to Oslo, the first impression i get is really surprise  to see that Oslo covered by white snow every where, and there many moutain here. because i am really tired i did not really regonize the scenery near by. i just fall sleep after ate all the Thay food that bought by my host family.
the next day we continue our flight to Bodoo, and the to Leknes, and after that i come to the place that destiny served to me Lofoten island in Artic circle. 


i will write about this island i the next posting, now here i am , ready to have new life and new happiness.
