What is it between me and Rotterdam? I can't seem to find the answer. Everytime I have something wrong I have to be at Rotterdam, just to sort it out. Sometimes I just can't stop thinking that probably I belong to Rotterdam instead of The Hague. However, The Hague has kept all my stories and my memories ever since the first time I stepped my way to live all by my own, of course I couldn't leave The Hague.
Today was the first day of my second term of school, I chose a minor called 3D Modeling, bffh! don't tell me what is it all about, I don't even have any clue about that. I chose that minor because that minor course is in The Hague, which I also thought it was in English (it is mentioned in the overview of the minor list). Nevertheless, it is actually in English for a DUTCH stream student, so the minor is taught both in English and Dutch. I came late to the class and everybody was looking at me and I just ran to any seat that was available near to me, and tried to relax and gave a sign to the lecturer to go ahead of what he was doing (explaining stuffs of course). But my ears suddenly felt so alien to the language that came out of the lecturer's mouth, and I just interrupted him and asked whether I went to the wrong classroom or something. It was actually a 3D Modelling that I chose. IT WAS IN DUTCH! Don't they know that I am allergic to this particular language? blaaahhh! So I just went out of the classroom with saying permission to the people that were in classroom and I went to the Communication Department where I could bitch them around! They apparently explained me with all of the stuffs about 3D modeling that they advised me to choose another minor instead of staying in that course because otherwise I wouldn't be able to follow the course and will fail for this term.
Then I asked a staff from Communication Department which minor that is in English where they have it in The Hague. They said they don't have any single English minor in The Hague, well there was actually but I have accomplished it already last year. They advised me to go to Rotterdam because they have many options for Minor in English. Therefore, I just decided right away to choose Reputation Management in Rotterdam in English teaching.
Since that moment I was thinking; why do I have to go there? last year I have gone there for my 2 minors in different periods. A thought popped up and I assumed that probably me and Rotterdam are meant to be. Because many things has happened to me in Rotterdam, the good ones of course.
Like in my first year of living in Holland, I had this Indonesian's Night in Rotterdam where I could perform and I nailed it down. From that moment Indonesian people who live in Holland know my name. (Alhamdulilah!) hahahah...
Moreover, Since I lost my jacket from Zara in Halloween party which was a very trashy party with a cheap booze. I found my jacket back in Zara Rotterdam. Although I have called through phone many Zara stores throughout Holland, but Zara Rotterdam had the jacket that was alike to the jacket that I had lost, which made me go there again. Mazzeltov!
I didn't know why suddenly I wanted to become a volunteer at the time of my second year, so I enrolled in Rotterdam Film Festival and they accepted my application to become a volunteer there, although I believed that my application wasn't that complete, cool he?
I also have accomplished all my minors last year without struggle (pronounced: resit/retake) in Rotterdam.
In Rotterdam too, I finally tasted Sushi for the first time in Holland after awhile not eating sushi since I had been living here.
For dance practice of Malaysian Event, we always have rehearsals in Rotterdam.
Look, how I and Rotterdam are well connected to each other? I don't even know! Please help me out guys. What is it between me and Rotterdam?
Anywho, Since I have changed my minor there are lots of forms I need to fill in although I am just gonna be at the Reputation Management class already. In this sort of moment, my agenda suddenly becomes indispensable, though I have hidden it months ago because I want to have the new one already, but I believe if it came alive it must be very sad, it looks so unruly and folded unpurposely but now how I just realized that my lovely agenda is my friend. :)
Nighty night
