Yan, could you tell your story on being a part in japan student exchange programme ?
YEAAAHH, it’s here, my first posting. Well, I feel jubilant launching my
first posting about my experience being a part in japan student exchange programme, beside of completing it as a task, I’ve just thought
that writing our
story of live in a blog, wordpress, or others, has a lot of benefits in it. One of them is that when we’ve been growing old and of course,
forgetting our own beautiful life story, don’t need to be worry
oppa, just open the blog and scroll down,
every life’s moment that you wrote will be screened on you. Beside that, we may also share the information or new
things that we’ve found.
Today
is the second month I’ve been lived in japan, perform an outstanding
task,
study in japan for about six months, besides learning and playing, writing a blog also one of the
task that I have. Eventhough, I’ve just try making
it this
time, but it’s better
than not having
it at all. Firstly, I feel confused what to write, I feel not confidence, I’m afraid that it will not be an
interested writing. But finally, I’ve thought
to make the story about my life experience on being a part in japan student
exchange programme first, in order to make the
story in series.
The one who told me about this programme is
my own classmate, I feel so curious and wanted to know more. Finally, I’ve got a couple
of information that actually this programme was brought by my lecturer Madam Dr. Eng. Beta
Paramita, she has just finished her doctor programme study in japan. UK-SERP (University of
kitakyushu-student exchange and research programme) was the name of this programme, consists of six months and two weeks programme for workshop. This programme was also participated by JASSO (japan association service
organization) that giving monthly scholarships. But JASSO doesn’t give the scholarship for the flights tickets, that means i need to use my own money to go to
japan. Huaaaa*
A few days later when I’ve got a lot of information about
this programme,
“ah moal mungkin bisa ngiluan yan, bahasa inggris ge kamana wae komo bahasa
jepang. Pasti kudu boga duit loba oge walaupun beasiswa !” that means…. “it’s impossible to be a part
on this programme, my English skills needs a lot of
improvement especially my
Japanese skills. And for sure, need to have a lot of money eventhough it is a scholarship!” Those words keep
yelling inside my deepest heart. Heeee* I’ve been
thinking that way because
on that day I’m in the 5th semesters that have a lot of beloved architecture’s tasks. But never mind, in the end I
decided not to think anymore about being a part on this programme cause those reasons
that I’ve thought before. Times
goes by, and I’ve heard
from my friends that treza and ochi are the chosen one for six months programme, and there are 6 others that chosen for 2 weeks programme for workshop. They are such a very lucky person.
Once, there was a conversation that arouse my desire to be a part in this student exchange programme again for next year, UK-SERP 2016. On that
day, when I’m helping Madam Beta (my
lecturer in tropical architecture subject) to brought down a tools, seems like wind tools or solar radiation tools because of the full moon, I don’t really know cause I forgot about it. After
I’ve brought down the tools from the rooftop of PKM (Student Activity Center) building, then we
went back to FPTK (Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education). On our
way back, Madam Beta giving me a sudden question “yan, are you joining the student exchange programme ?” owww…* finally she asked me. Then, I’ve just answered her question “No Ma’am, I don’t have much money for the flights ticket, I’ve asked to treza that I need to have 4
million rupiahs
for the flights”, Madam
Beta replied
spontaniously “just try it first, don’t think about money cause it could be sought after” taraa..* In the end, we make another appointment to talked more about it.
After having some discussions, finally I knew this programme well. But, I felt sad cause unfortunately
I can’t join in the six
months programme, Madam Beta said to me that the six months programme only for
the most oustanding student in architecture engineering department of
education. Ok nonetheless, I still have a desire to go to japan and eventually I decided to apply for 2 weeks
programme selection.
Ever since that day, I’ve thought every single
thing on how the way to
join and being accepted, everything has to be prepared before the selection process and
interviews. Started a struggle to learn English, Japanese,
collected and compiled my portfolio, thinking out
loud on how to collect a
lot of money and one thing that makes me happy is that having some friends which is keep supporting
me, thanks ai and lidhia fairuz harly whose always accompanied and did all the requirements together.
After a struggle staying up for work on motivation letter
and others, finally it’s time for interview. I forgot what day was on that day, but certainly there are 15 people whose join in the selection, and I’ve just knew on that day who are the students that taking a
part in that selection. Oh my God, Those who
join in this programme selection are all the great students, to be honest, I feel not
confidence to be matched with them, whatever with
the results, at least I’ve tried my best and get rid of my curious feeling.
One by one our name was called to be
interviewed, Owww my body
was trembling. Finally, my name was being called and I feel happy to know that Mrs Tutin the one
who interviewed me, Mrs.
Tutin is one of the lecturer who had always helping me to improve my English skill, a good one and my favorite teacher.
I can’t thank you enough for your help ma'am. At that time, Mrs Tutin asking
a couple of questions in English, aaa... lucky me that I understand
what she is asking and for sure I answered it with a little nervous. Then, the next question was surprised me, Madam Tutin asked
"Rian, are you ready if we choose you to participate in the SIX MONTHS programme ?”. I was
so surprised to be
given such a question because I was not applied for 6 months programme, and now
I have been given a chance, automatically I answered "yes ma'am I am ready for it, and I'll
always ready to face my future!" I feel jubilant on seeing her smile at that time. Thanks God for
making me able to answered
all the question in the interview selection, even though the questions are not as much and as hard as I imagined
before and I feel so relieved after going out of the lecturer’s room.
Awaiting for the selections result is the most
stressful phase. For almost a week or so, I feel not good to do anything,
can’t sleep well, eating
tasted unpalatable, that’s all happen cause waiting for a certainty... haha. After
all, D day is
coming, I got a message
in the early morning and
taraaaa delighted message
coming from a great lecturer, Mrs. Trias. The message was telling that I’ll go to japan, but she has not told me
which programme that I’ll got. Doesn’t matter which
program would it be, I
feel so grateful on hearing
can be a part in this programme. Alhamdulillah....
The text that made me cried
It was at 11 noon, all of the selected student must be gathered in the department’s room. All of us as the
chosen one felt nervous on hearing the announcement of who
are the luckiest students that will get six-months programme. Madam Beta comes to the room, sat down and expressed the
slightest opening, then Surprised ... Madam Beta called my name and my best
friend faris to be a part in six months programme. Happy, surprised, all feeling was jumbled. I can’t
believe what is happening to me, at that time, I was registered for two weeks programme, because I thought that it was impossible to get the six months
programme, but now I realized, when we are sincerely into something, pray and ask for prayers from
everyone, especially from our parents, it’s a must, Inshaa Allah all the best result is given
to us. At the end of the
meeting, Madam Beta described about this selection’s result, it is not only determined
and scored by Madam
Beta, but also by
some lecturers
who participated in it as well. Waaa I feel so happy ....
Since that day, I've become a snob busy, felt there was no time to relax cause everything must be prepared so well. Anyway, I am very grateful and
thanks to all those who
has helped and supported me. Thanks to my parents and my family, thanks to all lecturers who has
chosen me, thanks a lot Dwiki who had accompanied me to go to ciparay just for
taking a family card, thanks ari for giving your earn of project for my trip to japan. Thanks a
lot Lidhia, Ai Neni and all people who has helped me. May Allah repay it all. Aamiin
One of another reasons why I write this story, firstly because some of my friends was asking me about what
is the reason behind my decision to be a part in this programme, he knew that I don’t have a desire and I didn’t even once have
in my mind to study abroad or
study in Japan. I was thought that Japanese is very
difficult... I was thought that everything is impossible. Everythings that
happened in my
life sometimes accordance
with these words "God gives me what i need, not what i want". I choose to be apart in two-weeks programme, but I was selected to be in six-months programme. Feel being the luckiest person. There’s no a coincidence, Allah SWT.
had it all planned. People are
judging us, assess our
efforts and what have we done.
"Good Personality and Good Attitude should be an important modality in our daily life". These words are the message from my beloved lecturer. Strives from childhood up until now for making my parents proud of me, Alhamdulilah, now is one of the
time. An
ordinary boy from a
little family, originally comes from the village, who is struggling to make his parents proud and happy,
I think this is the suitable tittle for my first posting .... haha.
See you on next posting, next I’ll write about UK-SERP 2016 and the
programs in it. Ja mata nee…
