A Friend in need is a friend indeed

I have ever posted about my gang-gals called REMBERS who consist of  9 super awesome friends that you could ever imagine in my first writing and yes I love them so much. Now, I wanna tell you a story about one of them, a girl who can let you think over your dream, believe it and make it happen (sounds like Agnes Monica's twitter bio hahah). We call her Mbae, she's originally come from Surabaya, Jawa Timur and has Madura ethnic in her blood. This Madura-bloodline naturally has formed her into a tough girl. She has no fear of  telling people on how her feeling toward that person and yes to be honest sometimes it would insult them but she's totally cool with people's reaction on her outspoken act. She's so sensitive and I've ever told that she can read people's character but she admit it as her long observation on that people. She's one of the person with critics and a smart ass in term of  history. 

One of the devastating moment was when she had to lose her mom when we were in second year of college due to cervical cancer. At that time she become an orphanage girl and I couldn't imagine my life if I had to be in her shoes. She's also known as a girl with the high pride and dignity among REMBERS and sometimes if we want to help her in term of money, we were kind of afraid that she would reject it and get her pride hurt or something. Thus, honestly, in this Rembership (my gang friendshipness) we're not reluctant to lend a hand to help each other and yes that's what friends are for. As time passed and so does our wisdom rises, we find that this rembership become one of the bond that keep us together, tougher and stronger especially in the hard period of studying chinese, (true story). Our Mbae also changed, she's not that girl who is feeling offended or get her pride hurt every time we want to share or help her ( she's not the vulnerable girl that often need help, we just like to help each other anyway). 

I gotta tell that she's the only one of my friend that know almost all of my kegalauan and dark ages. I feel that if I tell her anything that bother me a lot, she would give words that totally can comfort me in surprise way. If I had a hard time, I would come to her and hope for her words. She is totally a person who I can talk to without hesitant and embarrassment if I talk about my bad thoughts or attitude. One thing for sure, despite of her hardship as an orphanage who has to stand on her own feet in order to survive in city, she can manage a good model on me to show that live life to the fullest and pursue your dream. She's going to Taiwan this August ( yeah she's chosen as one of six TETO scholarship grantee ) to study there for one year and yes she's now in her effort to make money in order to survive in first month of her study in Taiwan. She also inspire me to keep calm and lean on God every time I'm dying to get out of the hardship. I'm gonna miss her so much, since we're gonna be separated for the next one year.

Beyond My Wildest Fanfic

       Finally, I can remember my blog's email and password. So, it's the last-two day on June and here I am waiting for my scholarship package from Suzhou University (fingerscrossed). I haven't made official announcement that FINALLY  I'VE  BEEN ACCEPTED TO SUZHOU UNIVERSITY IN CHINA TO STUDY ONE-WHOLE-FYEAR OF CHINESE. Yeaaayy..I'm gonna study in China for one year, I'm gonna have my very first experience of going abroad in my 23-years of life. I'll have a first stamp on the first page of my brand new passport ( OK call me norak or something ). Yet,actually, I'm friggin' nervous about my plan to study in Suzhou, China, why?

1. I forgot to fill in my current address on my scholarship application with my kosan address, instead, I filled in it with My Grandpa's address. Fortunately, someone whom I know on chinese forum that I've joined to keep up with the scholar's info has told me to contact the international office staff in Suzhou to tell them my current address or my latest acceptance mailing address has changed. It worked and they asked me the address and will inform me later about the admission letter,  JW202 form , med-check form, etc.

2. I haven't received any official email from Suzhou University to congratulate me on my success to become their soon-to-be student for the next one year. I even have to contact with them first because I need them to know that my acceptance mailing address was different with what's on my application form. 

3.   On financial side, I don't even know if I could manage to collect 10 millions rupiah something in order to survive in the first weeks of living in Suzhou plus all the tetek-bengek of preparation to China.

          Yet, I really really grateful that God finally answer all of my kegalauan for these past 9 months. I even posted on my previous post that I was dying to get out of my sicko-daily routine that has consumed me alive for these past months. It's totally beyoooonnnddd my wildest fanfic and still can't believe my luck. You will when you believe is no longer a dreamy catch-phrase for me. THANK GOD.
