One month left..

I just attended my Chinese Language lesson, my teacher asked me when I was going to China? And I still didnt know about it, so I told her that I didn't know..

Well, after class, I check my mobile phone, then there it was the new messages said that my departure dates has been confirmed. I will go to Beijing via Air China, on 27 Feb..

Know that the date has been confirmed, I don't know why, suddenly I feel sad, I'm going to China, left my family, home, room, Chester, QuVee, all my comfort zone.. I'm going step out of my comfort zone, learn how to live in foreign country on my own, where I'm not fluent the language, the city ( I never gone to Beijing..), the community, environment, people, habits...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
— Mark Twain

I will do it, this is my 2010 resolution... Step out from my comfort zone, learn to live my own, I need to grow up, learn the new experiences, new challenges, new friends, new skills!! I hope these will be GREAT!!

Here I come

I revived my old blog and change it to become these blog. Beside p.h.i.e.z, these second blog will tell you all about my journey in China. Well, if you read my other blog, you will know that truthfully the first reason I created my blog is for China, but since I post more about myself, I decided to change it into general blog. My brother suggest me to created another blog more specifically than just general blog. So here it is, my second blog.

Just edit the layout of these blog, I've got text from my agent that my Acceptance Letter from BLCU has arrived, my JW 202. With those letter, I can continue my visa application. That's means I'm through and officially will attend BLCU these March. =)

I created the countdown in right corner of the blog... well let's see just 1.5 month to go..

Excited, but scared in the same time..

a friend come along..

I'm happy to inform you that one of my college friends will joined me to be 'Lost in Beijing'..

Suddenly a few days a go, my friend text me to ask about my China Education.. She asked me, where and how much will it cost.. I'm not really hope she will join, because she told me she still thought about it..

And surprisingly, she text me 2 days ago, that she will join me at BLCU these march.. unfortunately, she with her friend will go with different agency as mine.. I thought to join her agency, but my new friends (that went to BNU n BLCU like me) encouraged me more to join my agency right now..

Yes, I apply my China Study through agency, why?

1. It's more easy and convenient... than applying by myself.. I know it's easy..!!
   
2. My first thought, that I will go to China by myself ( before my friend joined me), so through agency, I will come abroad with new friends that will be through all experiences with me, together.. (senasib sepenanggungan)
3. The Agency will take care everything.. from school application, opening bank account, visa, registration of dorm... so I can sit back and relaxed..
4. At least, when I arrived in China, I wont be alone and completely lost..
   

Right now, I'm so happy. My friend will come with me, in the same university, same city.. I hope we will stay in the same dorm.. Even the agency is different.. She is one my close friends through college.. She just graduated first in Diploma 3 program (3 years study) and went back to her home city, while I'm continue my study for one more year..

I think it will be a little awkward, but it will bring more nostalgic moment.. Hahaha..

I joined one forum in Indonesia, it's the biggest online community in Indonesia, that is Kaskus.. One of the topic in that forum, is China, where we kaskuser share everything about China.. In there, I was looking information about Study in China.. and in kaskus, I met 3 new friends who will go to China with me, ( 2 (BNU & BLCU) of them are already mentioned above, and the other one (BUU) is studying Mandarin in the same private course with me.. )

and while the application date near closed, more kaskuser showed up asked about the same thing.. I'm happy to help them, and to see blcu become their consideration.. It mean more new friends.. I cant help but excited.. ^^ even my private course teacher just found out that I will come to China next feb, she help me a lot, and she is shared more story about Beijing with class.. I cant wait but truthfully I'm also scared..
