Being 20

It’s 6.21 in the morning, and I couldn’t sleep since 12.30 am and I’ve only been sleeping for 2 hours. So let it be

I don’t know why I just want to share my experience on being 20 something. I had my birthday on July 20^th, like almost a month ago, when I was still in Nanjing, China. I wasn’t be able to share this thing on Twitter on my birthday, since, as you know, Chinese government ban Twitter (plus other sites such as facebook, youtube, and blogspot as I know). I think it just appropriate to share this thing on my blog now.

My beginning time being a 20 years old was splendid! I was in China for internship with AIESEC (I’ll share it about it later ;)). At the midnight, I was in my room doing Skype with Kiki and Acha. Then, my friends gave me surprise with cake and candles, plus Sarah was splashed me with this much amount of water! What a nice night to share with your foreign friends, aboard, and kidding on your birthday! :D

Allah SWT has given me the best present for being 20: Experience. I got to be more mature and independent, because of this particular exchange program. I learnt that being older means more responsibility. You cannot act like a child anymore, and for my case, dress up like a child. You have to be mature inside and outside. And what comes along with it, to get more problems, yet we also get more point of views to solve it. I really am grateful with this present, alhamdulillah. It’s more valuable than those luxurious things.

I’m gonna stop here since I’m already blabbering too much. So, keep your years valuable and meaningful. As they say: carpe diem. Seize the day!

Cheers,
