Leaving


Have you seen that movie where the lead woman cries out for leaving her lover?

Except that I don’t have that lover, I actually feeling like crying, leaving Jogja.

Internship is finally here and it is not like I am leaving forever but stiiilllll

These days I only eat my jogja-food compromise of Lotek bu Bagyo, genther, sushi, Tempo gelato and some more lotek bu Bagyo. I have been on borderline emotional as well. At first, I felt lost then nervous then excited all in less than 12 hours bhahaha. My flight was at night so in the morning I drove around two hours just because I want to feel Jogja again and felt so nostalgic before getting excited again somehow like 5 minutes after.




Jogja for me is home as well as for those willing to share the humane flaws within themselves. A place that provide warm and familiarity to human longing for place to be called home. Certainly, like every place it in the world Jogja has its own lack and not really everyone find Jogja as their home and beyond its people, food and culture, the element of Jogja is lovely for being Jogja itself ; the city’s architecture, the weather, and even Merapi.

It is all nostalgic you know, the inches and corner of Jogja yet here we are, ready to leave (I would actually arguing that no one is ever completely ready for anything but I'll leave that for now) and to embrace the new adventure that awaits. Although of course not all adventure is worth taking, for me iship in Ambon is somehow necessary. I have not figured out why but I somehow now I need it. I need this.

Well back to Jogja, above all personally I think the best part about Jogja is its people. Days before, I met friends from here and there for a little farewell party+catch-up session and feel so grateful for it. 

All in all, I feel so grateful for all that I have now and I know that I will miss Jogja pretty bad. So how about making this mushy feeling worth it?

The six months update (kind of)

Hi there,  It’s your R1-going-on-R2 here. HAHAHA. Dang.  I was looking at my phone wallpaper today, of Janik Sinner smiling from ear to ear, lifting the Australian Open trophy. The joy in his face was so pure, the excitement like he never imagined he would win a Grand Slam. Before it hit me, it was only six months ago. Yet, January and the beginning of this journey seem very distant. It feels like I have been here for at least a year and a half, yet the novelty and adapting keep happening. So, when the newest batch was getting welcomed, I couldn't help but think to myself, 'Really? That fast?' You see, the residency system relies on the continuity of knowledge passed through independent study, bedside teaching with attendings, and from senior residents to us, the juniors. But in all honesty, though the last six months have been packed for me (and except for the wittiness, the athletics, and the know-how), I am not sure I have enough clinical knowledge to pass on to these 1...

Grieving - Part 1: The upside down world

Background: Staring at a peeled-beige wall, waiting in an empty office for my dad’s death certificate.  Facing another heartbreaking moment because two weeks ago, it never crossed my mind that I’d be writing my father’s name on a paper declaring his death. Gritting my teeth as hard as I could to keep me from crying. Was it a successful method? I won’t answer. Has anyone ever told you that when you cry too much, your head, eyes, nose, and even salivary glands can hurt all at the same time? Well, they can. I don’t think I’ve cried this hard since elementary school. I’m the kind of person who usually observes my thoughts and feelings, thinking, “Huh? Interesting” and sitting with them for hours until they settle. Yet this time, grief swallowed me like a tsunami. Those thought-watching processes didn’t stand a chance. My father’s passing came as a shock. I won’t share the details of his death, but the news arrived on an ordinary day as I prepared for my ICCU shift and for a while, my w...
