…learn something
Friday, July 28th, 2006Ever experience by yourself when you’re so far away with your family and you really got homesick.
I have a friend from Netherland that just reached Jakarta few days ago. She will do internship here.
She told me when arrived at Jakarta, she just directly went to her boarding house - it is a new building with everything new inside. Then in that 3 x 6 m2 room, which was so quiet and you don’t have any direction where you should go, she just felt so homesick. Then I invited her to stay in my boarding house.. but of course if she would like too, becoz my room is not as big as her. But she was ok and beside that i also was so glad that she stays in my room. She is nice girl.
When i shared with her, she told me.. why she prefer my room, eventough it’s smaller than hers.. It is because when entered my room, she felt warm atmosphere, something that lively. Different with her room which even bigger but so cold, quiet and no life atmosphere.
I think this is same with us. Even our appearance is great, beautiful, handsome, but when we don’t have warm and friendly, lively spirit, then it is nothing. People around you can feel it. Maybe first time they will try to come over, but then they just stop it and make a distance with you.
