Fairytale in disguise in Russia

  If I can describe a word for Russia it could be a Fairytale. It has too many beautiful things that you can only see in let say disney princess movies (?) happen in real life. From The castle, the museum, the campus building until the metro station underground. My favourite one would be the chandelier and the amber stone for jewerly and decoration inside the palace and museums. I am so in love with their architectural design. Indeed it showed their pride as one of the superpower country back then. Yet you can still see the remaining of it traces in every corner of their street and building. Russia's metro subway in Moscow and St. Petersburg are famous for its beauty because it has different theme in every metro along with the architectural design. Who said infrastructure isn't important? Well I guess it is fundamental in any country who want to be developed. As it is built to accomodate people transfer and hence support the economy later on.   My trip to Russia was a blessi...

Twin City of St. Petersburg

     Ini kali kedua saya di host di kota yang bernama St. Petersburg. Namanya boleh sama tapi kotanya beda jauh, yang    satu dingin banget satunya lagi panas banget. Tapi bukan itu yg mau saya ceritakan. Ini tentang mimpi siang bolong saya yang alhamdulillah dikabulin sama Allah so you can say another bucket list checked off.   Waktu dulu saya mau brgkt ke US saya berandai klo bisa dapet state yang ga begitu dingin winternya dan banyak theme park nya meski saya ga paham bgt geografi tiap states di US, lalu tau2 saya dapet placement di St. Petersburg, Florida yang cuma kira2 1 jam aja dari Disneyworld yang ada di Tampa, Florida. Ga cuma itu sih themeparknya yg mereka punya tp banyak lagi jadi saya bisa ke sana hampir tiap bulan.   Terus juga waktu saya ke singapur ikut AMSC, saya dulu pingin banget ikut brgkt conference amsa jadi peserta lomba dan alhamdulilllah kesampean juga.   Lalu pas ke croatia, saya pingin sekalian euro trip karena  emg...

The Enlightenment

There was one Taiwanese boy once asked me "Is that okay for a Muslim girl to hold hand with a guy?". "It was from last night game, the AMSC Olympics. Oh you didn't join the play?" "Yeah, I was preparing for my presentations so I take a break and prepared"  I have no idea what should I actually answer to that boy, and I said "Shaking hand is okay I think" and he said "Yeah, I know shaking hand is okay, but how about holding hand while we're playing last night?" and I said "Well, it really depends on the person and the intention I guess", then I call another muslim friends from Bangladesh to explain but he wasn't really focus on the question and then we were talking about different topic. Then still with curiosity, I asked my Muslim Malaysian friend about this, which she was also a girl. I like her answer though which kinda bit the same with my answer previously but in a more elaborative way. Interesting righ...

Croatian Adventure Part 2

So here again I continue my EAMSEP story. On the second week February 9th to 16th), after done with the hospital rotation in Internal Medicine department, We had Tuberculosis discussion in Pub Tunnel. The activities called as "SciCaffe" I think from the name that they want to discuss Science in more fun and creative way in such a Pub or Caffe, well I am not sure though, but what I've just experience kinda surprising because my friend have to delivered his research project presentation about Tuberculosis in the Caffe where the atmosphere wasn't 'scientific' enough, you got my point right? While the Professor who was also gave us some lectures about TB said that it was also his first time to present kinda serious discussion in that kind of place. What I think was ironic was we were discussing about how to keep a healthy lung by staying out of TB but the Caffe were full of smoke in the air because people were trying to destroy their lung by smoking in the '...

Brief Story near the Adriatic Sea-Part 1

So approximately last month, 2nd-16th February 2015, I went to Croatia for an exchange program called Europe Asian Medical Student's Exchange Program (EAMSEP) which is an  Intercontinetal student exchange (Twinning project), organized between AMSA Indonesia (Asian Medical Students' Association) and FOSS MedRi (Fakultetski Odbor Svih Studenata Medicinskog fakulteta u Rijeci) who is a registered member of EMSA (European Medical Student's Association). Unlike the other exchange program which is held by AMSA, the AMSEP (Asian Medical Students' Exchange Program), this one is a bit special because it held between Europe and Asia, so it called EAMSEP and this one with Indonesia is the second EAMSEP after the first one between Malaysia and Lithuania. What also special about this program is that it last for 2 weeks, longer than the regular AMSEP which usually take only for a week. The activities during those two weeks covered   Knowledge, Friendship and Action which is  u n...

The Wanderlust and Ambivert

Hello, I'm back in 2015! :) I once captivated by the word "Wanderlust" in one of the article that my friend shared on her Facebook timeline. Yo can read out the article here . Wanderlust means [--   a love of travel or regular old curiosity]   [The gene itself, which is identified as DRD4-7R, has been dubbed the “wanderlust gene,” because of its correlation with increased levels of curiosity and restlessness, for the most part. In reality, however, those who carry this genetic information typically share one common theme, a history of traveling.] It even said that it runs through your gene! So the need to explore and go on adventure I guess quit a bit running inside my gene. I do like travelling around and exploring new things as well as knowing and understanding different culture. So I'm glad that I got to become an exchange student once again and go on a Euro Trip as well. I would really want to tell my journey in detail but I guess I was just too lazy to...

Adil....?

Ada dua buah cerita yang saya dapat hari ini tentang adil. Dua-duanya mengandung esensi keadilan dari sudut pandang yang berbeda. Cerita 1 Suatu hari ada dua orang kawan kedatangan seorang musafir yang lelah berpergian dan terlihat kelaparan. Dua orang tersebut hanya mempunyai roti untuk persediaan bekal mereka. Orang pertama memiliki 5 buah roti sedangkan yang lainnya memiliki 3 buah roti. Melihat sang musafir terlihat kelaparan dan menanyakan apakah mereka masih mempunyai persediaan makanan, mereka pun memotong tiap buah roti yang mereka punya menjadi 3 potong sehingga roti yang mereka miliki menjadi 24 potong. Lalu dibagilah 8 potong roti sama rata ke tiap orang untuk dimakan. Esok paginya sang musafir meninggalkan 2 kawan tersebut dengan 8 keping   emas. Cerita 2 Pada setiap pagi, ayah memberikan uang jajan pada kedua anaknya. Anaknya yang lebih tua ia berikan uang jajan lebih daripada anaknya yang lebih muda. Suatu hari sang adik mengetahui hal tersebut dan protes...
