#BelieveInMyself - 3 Bored? I never consider that I have boring expirences and stuffs, even waiting for the line didn't make me feel bored. There's always something I can overcome it by exploring my smartphone. Browsing the internet, surfing Youtube, playing some mobile games, like Brawl Stars (for 3 years) and Clash of Clans (8 years!), and watching my favorite films and animes for hours. That's why I never feel bored and it keeps me excited! I've been playing Clash of Clans for 8 years! lol Knowing this part, it also indicates that I used to avoid doing tasks that are less excited, like reading books, doing exercise, meditating, and actually working on goals.  Somehow what I did here was not right. I should focus more doing these tasks, instead of looking another amusements. This phenomenon has been studied by researchers and the main root cause is the fact that our brain tends to look for more excited activities that gives instant gratification and generates more ...

#BelieveInMyself - 2 Studying in a university is not the same as studying in a high-school. This post discusses most of how I feel toward the social-environment in academics. During these 4 years studying in ITB, I've felt more pressures, start by the harder course-material, the teaching-learning pace was really quick to me, the situation when everybody seems to understand while I still try to understand the material, the situation when I felt that I needed to staying up late to study the material (even without sleep), and the most irritating me much is the condition where my hard work effort didn't pay off, yes the exam result. *I know, we are here to study, not to aim the exam result only. But who will be satisfied when you didn't deserve your dedication. Compared to studying in high school, I felt lesser pressure! The course material was easier to understand. I don't have to pay "too" much effort into studying it. I don't need to less sleep, less ...

#BelieveInMyself - 1 When I turned 17 years old, I was told to get a  Driving License  immediately. It's because I was a third-year senior high school student at that time, who was about to leave my city in a couple of months for further study journey. I have set my next study journey in ITB, in Bandung. So having a driving license beforehand is a good idea. So my father instructed me that I need to go to the police office (* I forgot, to which office*) to register the license. Everything is good, I need to queue, wait till my turn is over, have some administrative work written, get myself taken photos, and done. And then, my driving license was on my hand now on that day. I felt happy the process wasn't complicated at all and I could easily go home. But speaking of complicated, I asked  myselfwhy I'm not being driving tested here?! Just like Spongebob  who takes hundred years to take a driving test in order to get a driving license. I was not really satisfied ...

#BelieveInMyself *Prolog. I admit it, It was damn hard to build a writing habit. But I will keep writing it, even I would postpone it, I will keep writing. No matter how inconsistent it will be. I hope I'm able to keep doing it.* I want to write a post again, but this time I really need to build my self-confidence. There are already 2 persons, that inspire me the most, told me that I should have believed in myself.  Two persons!. 'Two persons already liao !!. How come they notice me leh ? It's because from junior high school you still never try to change your weakness. Never believe in yourself (Gak pede)''. *ok that's enough for Singlish accent :v It's sad to admit that I started to look myself down when I was 15 years old, a junior high school student. It's exactly when we needed to practice in class how to give a speech in front of people without bringing text. My teacher taught us that we should learn how to deliver a speech impromptu...
