    The Cost of Being Honest in A Corrupt Society

    January 19, 2023 /

    Being honest in a corrupt society can be a challenging and costly mission. From my personal experience, speaking the truth can often lead to backlash and ostracism from those who are content with the status quo. I remember an incident from my past experience when I was involved in a community project under a leader who abused his power for his own personal gain. It was a community project that was supposed to help the less fortunate, but the leader used it as an opportunity to build his own dynasty. Despite my discomfort with the situation, I felt pressure to stay silent and go along with the actions of my colleagues.…

    The COVID-19 Story, things we take for granted

    August 10, 2021 /

    After all the drama I experienced, this article would definitely be the last thing I’m gonna share. As the world doesn’t revolve around me, I realized that there is a priority when it comes to addressing an issue. Not only are you struggling with resources, but you’re also battling with time. The longer this pandemic continues, the more we will suffer from material and immaterial losses. Everyone’s life has been so demanding since the pandemic began. As a result, there must be a sense of tolerance as well as acceptance if we seek aid. We couldn’t escape the fact that we require each other’s help as social creatures. I’ve had…

    The COVID-19 Story, the worst is yet to come

    July 26, 2021 /

    The state of emergency for covid-19, also known as PPKM Darurat, was declared from July 3 until July 20, 2021. However, on Tuesday, the last day of PPKM Darurat, Indonesian President Joko Widodo announced on his official YouTube channel a five-day extension till July 25, 2021. The reason for this is that the number of covid-19 cases in Indonesia is rapidly increasing, and I was one of them contributing to the cases. My roommate developed severe symptoms on Friday, one day before PPKM Darurat was implemented. He wasn’t sure if those symptoms were likely to be Covid-19’s at first. As a result, he went off to work as usual. However,…

    Everything Happens For A Reason

    August 30, 2020 /

    There were myriad moments in my life that made me difficult to forget. The moment when I failed the university admission exam, the moment I didn’t win a competition, and the moment when I lose some precious stuffs that belong to me. They were full of bad experience indeed. Not only because they were “pricey”, but also those stuff no longer could support me to run the day and the future. These are some stories I’m trying to recall that gave me immense lessons in life. I’m not sure to what extent the lessons have contributed to shape who I am today. But, the failure and loss as the result…

My summer wouldn’t be the same without the incredible experiences and connections I’ve made here. From engaging workshops to inspiring discussions, every moment has been enriching and memorable.

I still can’t imagine that I was able to visit China for the first time for free because of this incredible event!! The opportunity to explore a new culture, learn from esteemed mentors, and connect with like-minded peers has been truly priceless.

Thank you, Tsinghua SIGS, for this amazing journey!✨👌🥹

What I treasure most from this journey is the less What I treasure most from this journey is the lesson of self-discovery and personal growth. It uncovered the hidden resilience and adaptability within me that I never knew existed. That one year of preparation has been a transformative and deeply personal experience. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities, the setbacks, and the growth they have brought. This path has not only prepared me for my master's degree but also for the unpredictabilities of life. #studyabroad #scholarship #erasmus #europe #erasmusmundus #fullyfunded #masterdegree #beasiswa #chevening #fulbrightscholarship #emjm #swedishinstitute #daad
