Q & A

I know who will read this things on my blog. Nowadays seems like people aren’t doing much on blog things. Lol.

Well, how do I get the Questions?

I’m wandering around pinterest to get such journal inspiration kind of things.

So… let’s get started

Describe the first time you fell in love?

With my neighbor when I was a kid haha. We were in the same age and he loved to play football while I loved to ride bicycle around our neighbourhood. We even studied together even we were in  different school. Lol. 

Share a place you’ve visited before and would like to visit again.

Waduk Selorejo / reservoir / whatever, and I hope I can visit the place with my mom and someone in my future? Having lunch by the lake (sambel penyetan, wader, shrimp), jump on to the boat enjoying the view of mountains surrounding the lake. 

Remember the best thing you remember about being a kid.

Having lunch every Sunday with my mom and dad in a crowded market: Pasar Turi.

We loved to eat rujak cingur. The seller is a Madurese named Buk Saluki. The stall was super crowded on the weekends. At Pasar Turi, my mom always bought lots of scarves, sometimes kitchen utensils, textiles. Sometimes they bought me new clothes at Ramayana. But I hated to pass by meat stall, super dirty made me wanna cry.

Describe the type of person that you’re attracted to

Humble, smart, cool, funny, outgoing, not too much talking but we can talk about anything, firm and steadfast in religion.

Describe how you’re different from the person you were five years ago.

Five years ago I was busy taking care of my dad, he was a cancer survivor. I thanked God that I got a job near hospital (previously I worked at Gresik) where I could manage everything especially my dad’s chemotherapy easily.

But now, I value my every hardship in the past. So that I can get closer to Allah. All those hardships make me forget about being myself. My life was only about work, paid all bills, took care of the family.

That’s how I learned so hard about life. The point when nobody could preserve you except Allah. My circle of friends, they’re still depends on their parents. Then I become an independent person.

Sometimes I feel tired, but I feel much grateful for everything. I hope someday I can find a person that we can take care of each other.

When was the last time you tried something new?

Last week I visited a new place I’ve never been before. I went to Gunung Kelud with my friends. The view was good. Mountain’s air is always the best. But then the next week I had a problem at work. Pffft, hopefully everything will be settled smoothly.

Are you holding onto something that you need to let go of?

Yes, fear. There are so many things in my wishlists but I’m just afraid to do that right now, or I don’t have enough courage at least to  try. :( But I just can’t tell what it is.

When you are 80-years-old, what will matter to you the most?

Of course preparing a beautiful death (Amin). Preparing the day I’ll meet Allah and pray to him that I have a good ending in both Dunya and Akhirah.
