Meisterin (yo)Dita!!

YES IT'S OFFICIAL!! I'm now Felicia Primadita, M.Sc in Hearing Technology and Audiology.
How cool is that :) My final score is the same to the bachelor *pfiuh*.  And yes, my thesis is scored better than I expected.

Thanks to my supervisors, my parents, Thomas, Galih, and everybody who supported and prayed for me!😘

Auf Wiedersehen, Oldenburg!

I feel blue, Oldenburg. Never thought that leaving Oldenburg can be this hard too.. I thought it would be kinda relief, but I'm wrong.

Oh. Ich hab soviele Sachen 🙈

I realized, that I met so many nice and helpful people, whom you can work with, amazing people in Oldenburg, whose name you will find in so many papers, and cheerful people that often there, that I was almost never alone at home.

The decision of living in a flat with 6 people, might be one of the best decision I made in Oldenburg. You met someone straight, someone weird, someone talkative, someone funny, someone diligent, someone lazy, etc. Different culture, different perspectives, but at the end, we made best  friends :) I love the theater in Oldenburg and every single show I visited with Annika and Matthias. It started to be a new hobby, which I need to stop pretty soon. Gonna miss it! 😢

I met Kirsten, with whom I worked together during the whole master study. We spent lot of time together finishing our projects, homeworks or preparing exams. Mattis, her husband, has several times cooked for us *yummy!*. Not forget to mention Minty, their cat, which Thomas admires a lot, eventhough they have never met😂

I made friend also with Helen. The first person who greeted me at the Jade Hochschule. With her I had also some deep talk and brain storming. She always helped, ambitious, smart, and open-minded.

My amazing supervisors, Ania and Sabine, who always said that my work was good and I always doubt with myself. I learned a lot from them. And also from my first supervisor, which I think, he has this pendulum that Hermione has to return back time and do other stuff that should be finished😆  No kidding, he is very fast but relax at the same time.  

If I may leave Oldenburg two years ago, the feeling will be 180° different. So much pressure, so depressed, so much fear to be kicked out from Germany when I didn't pass the exam. They are gone now..

Thanks for making me enjoy Oldenburg! I love you all and I'm quiet sure we're gonna meet each other again😘

Dita, 01032017, in the train to Erfurt.

B.U.S.Y

I haven't posted for so long! Gees! I've been quiet busy after arriving back Germany. My master defence was confirmed to be held at January 25th,2017, so I was quiet panicking, because I haven't started assessing my datas and I didn't even write a sentence during my stay in Indonesia.

On one weekend, Thomas and I went to Sömmerda for an apartment observation. Good, that I got the apartment quiet straight forward. Yeay.

But with help of Sabine and Tom, the presentation was ready in time and it was quiet good. I was already afraid of questions coming from my first examiner, but he was enthusiatic about hearing my presentation and I even got a good score :) *fufuuu*

So now it's time to write the forgotten thesis and to preparing for moving. We arranged a transporter and a friend to help. Wish me luck! My room is now such a mess :(

Anyway, I got to tell you something.. I don't know who I can tell, because most of my best friends are single at this time.. So, I don't want to make them jealous or more desperate or kinda feeling. It is just about Thomas and me. After being seperated for about 6 weeks, I feel like Thomas is more ready to build a family. A significant difference is that he didn't avoid/refuse the topic about family planning or such questions "if we get married,..." or "how many children do you want to have?" or "should we travel ...?". And you know,  being able to talk deeper with him about this topic made me so happy and  loved. Suddenly I felt some butterflies in my stomach coming again, as thought they were gone before. I hope this is gonna be a good sign :) Almost 3 years together, and we are going to a concert on our anniversary. Yuhuu! God bless us. I love you

You're Craaaaayyyyyy

Things are getting wild here in Oldenburg. Next week 2 tests and 1 test the week after. Recording of speech material for indonesian matrix test is done! Yeay. Anne was doing really well. I know I have chosen and trusted a right person. Thanks God for listening to my prayer :) We had fun yesterday. Thank you, Anne!!

Anne at Hörgarten

Oldenburg sight seeing

However, I need to make sure that everything goes as planned. I don't want to stay longer as necessary in Oldenburg. Things are getting wild, tends to be depressive. I can't distinguish which things are normal and which are not. And it turned out, that things I marked abnormal are normal for others. And they start to call me Homophobia. Which I believe, I am not.

My flatmate confessed himself as a transgender, but it's basically not the fact that he is transgender, that makes me against him, but his manner and attitude (changing mind after a second, not cleaning house, totally defensive of my suggestion to look good as a woman with skirt and tank tops).

My other ex-flatmate (he was out 2 days ago) was pro-refugees, too pro, and a bit touchy. It leads me to be a bit more cautious, because I don't like refugees. No matter what reasons lead them here to Germany. They -indirectly- cause my further life in Germany definitely becomes not easier. I love Thomas and the thought of not getting visa just becomes my huge fear.

We were once talking about Frozen and Frozen 2. I made a statement that I don't like people who posted on youtube about 'hidden' negative message of disney films, which was mostly about LGBT. I mean I watched the films and I didn't see those things coming. So don't destroy the real message from the movie. One video said that Frozen 2 will be about Elsa being lesbian. I didn't make a statement that I won't like the movie, since it is not there yet. I said I am curious how Disney will pack it, as they always suceed to make me cry in every movie. I told you: every.single.one. Because some Indonesian books teach children wrongly about LGBT. And I basically don't want my children to read about these books. Not because I don't want my children to be LGBT (maybe partly yes, to be very honest), but I want my children to grow up FREELY with their imagination without getting busy with these words of LGBT. As a small kid, I was thinking to marry to my best girlfriend for a while. I mean, that's kid! Let them grow up as kids. Let them play and being happy and full of imagination.

I'm loosing my mind. I need to get away from here. Soon.

La Voix Humaine/ Trouble in Tahiti

Huih! The first opera for this semester. It contained of two stories: La Voix Humaine - The Human Voice (Francis Poulenc) and Trouble in Tahiti (Leonard Bernstein). The theme of these two was similar: communication. The first one was a monolog, telling about a woman who talks on the phone with her ex-husband, who now has a new wife. This woman keeps calling him 'Mon Cherie', so it shows that she is actually still in love with him but keep blaming herself as the main cause of their divorce. At the end, this woman killed herself with the telephone cable and by jumping off of the balcony. Tragic. But luckily, who is still using that old telephone with cable? :)

The second one told us about one married couple who lives in a big white modern house. The husband is obsessed with being rich and famous. The wife visits psychiatrie because she feels depressed. Their communication don't go so well, they don't really greet each otherm don't do things together, they don't discuss like a healthy couple. As soon they start to talk with each other, it turns out to be a fight. But then, they realize that, and tried to repair their relationship. It was Leonard Bernstein's, so it reminded me a lot on West Side Story. It has similarity, of course, on music, stage settings (one stage and they played a lot with the stage lighting). And of course, I love it!

This is the first time we went fullhouse. Last two times I went with Matthias and Annika, but this time our other flatmates Ann and Julie (hey, new flatmate!) were joining us as well. This is a WG with kinda weird hobby: watching opera. LOL. I tried my selfie stick for the first time. woh! See my red face! Yeah, I should say, using selfie stick is quite embarassing ;P

Fullhouse: Ann, me, Julie, Annika. Matthias is somewhere in the room behind us with the glass window

This week finally comes to an end

This week was a little bit weird. There were so many bad news eventhough there were also good news.

The good news were that at least I was quite well prepared for my presentation on Thursday and it went quite well, I must say :) Our project with ASR went also quite good. I finally have time to make something good to eat and finally the time to exam preparation comes. ^_^v

The bad news are that Jakarta was bombed on Thursday by some terrorist. But Indonesian policemen were not bad at all, they could handle the problem within a few hours. Even Thomas admitted it :) Thumbs up and hat off, Sir! Alan Rickman is dead  due to cancer :( Nadia's father passed away on the same day. Celine Dion's husband also passed away due to cancer.

Too much happened on Thursday...

Hopefully this was the only weird week for this year. As the priest said yesterday: "may we could find happiness and joy of life through this -(politically)seem to be hard- year". God bless us.

P.S: bought pepperspray. Martial art is coming soon in the new semester. Watch out!

WG geht in die Oper

Eigentlich wollten wir ins Kino am Wochenende. Annika mochte etwas gucken, aber zeitlich hat es doch nicht gepasst und Matthias hat vorgeschlagen in die Oper, wo er arbeitet zu gehen. Also waren Annika und ich in der Oldenburger Staatsoper zum ersten Mal :)

Selfie in dem Gebäude

Da da unser Premiere war, hat Matthias ein leichteres Stück vorgeschlagen. Wir haben: Manon Lescaut von Puccini geguckt. An sich war der Story echt simple. Ein echter Drama aber :) Manon Lescaut war eine Frau aus Paris, die von ihren Eltern ins Kloster geschickt wird. Da war ein Straßenmann hieß Renato des Grieux. Er war direkt in sie verliebt. Er sagte, eine schöne Frau wie sie sollte nicht ins Kloster gehen. Da war auch ein Steuerpächter, der sich auch für ihre Schönheit interessierte. Des Grieux und Lescaut waren dann abgehauen, bevor der Steuerpächter sie entführte. Manons Bruder kannte Manon aber zu gut, dass er sicher war, dass Manon Lescaut 100%ig wieder in Paris zu finden war. Er hat dem Steuerpächter dann geholfen, damit er und Manon zusammensein könnten. Manon hatte eine Beziehung mit Des Grieux, aber sie hat ihn verraten und hatte Affäre mit dem Steuerpächter. Keine sexuelle. Nur ist es so, dass Manon doch mit Reichtum gewöhnt war und mit Des Grieux zu leben, hieß ja leider ein armes Leben. Sie ist aber eigentlich verliebt in Des Grieux. Bei dem Steuerpächter bekam sie zwar alles an Schmuch usw, aber er war halt mega langweilig. Als Lescaut aussagte, dass sie wieder mit  Des Grieux zusammen wollte, war er selbstverständlich aufgeregt und hat sie angezeigt. Bevor die Polizei kam, hatten ihr Des Grieux und Lescauts Bruder gesagt, damit sie schnell abhaute. Manon hatte nach einem Schritt, anders überlegt. Der Schmuck wäre zu schade, um einfach da liegen zu lassen. Dann hat sie angefangen, den Schmuck erstmal zu sammeln. Dann war es natürlich zu spät. Sie kam dann in den Knast. Einen Tag danach wurde sie befreit. Sie hat Des Grieux versprochen, dass sie mit ihm arm leben wollte. Dann kam aber das Fieber. Lescaut ist schwach geworden und starb dann an dem Fieber. Ende: Des Grieux war mega traurig.

Der Saal

Wir drei im Saal vor der Aufführung

Uns hat die Oper auf jeden Fall gut gefallen. Annika geht heute sogar wieder dahin und guckte Hochzeit des Figaro. Und bleibe hier wegen aller Aufgaben von der Uni, die ich noch habe :/ Bis nächstes Mal dann!

This kinda colourful summer break

Es geht also direkt weiter, nachdem meine Eltern zurückgeflogen sind. Vier Wochen erstmal bei Thomas chillen, ein bissl Musik machen, spazieren gehen, Freunde besuchen. Ich hab auch endlich mal wieder mit Judith, Josephine und Feryal getroffen und gequatscht. Und Sabine, Khaled und Peggy auch. Wir haben zu zweit auch noch Köln besucht. Mathilda nur kurz gebabysitted. 

Dita & Tom machten ein übliches Touristenpflichtfoto vor dem Kölner Dom

You see the hair? I made it for her :)

Khaleds Abschiedsparty

Es gab ein Projekt. Wir haben Zaun gebaut, aus dem Relem eigentlich nicht rausgehen kann. Sie ist aber echt ein Lumpen. Das glaubst du gar nicht. Wir haben uns eine Woche damit beschäftigt, um herauszufinden, wo der Ausgang von Salem ist. Erfolgreich hat sie uns nur getauscht. Es ist uns mittlerweile egal. Sie kriegt sogar jetzt ne Treppe. Es hat mir eigentlich ziemlich Spaß gemacht, Zementieren, Schrauben, Messen, Streichen, außer dass es mega warm war. Dank Onkel Walter, der die meisten gemacht hat und uns mechanische Sachen gezeigt hat :)

Hier ist der neue tolle Zaun!

Hmm oja. Und am 29.8 haben wir aufm Dariuszs Geburtstag gefeiert. Reingefeiert eigentlich. Er hatte am Sonntag Geburtstag und wurde 50! Er hat Gerling Pavilion gemietet und das Essen war großartig! Alles lecker, aber richtig. 

Letzten Samstag haben wir Metti mit Sonjas Idee überrascht und wir haben ihn abgeholt, damit er mit uns auf die Bierbörse ging. Wir haben Mettis Geburtstag dann da reingefeiert. Das Wetter war eigentlich ok, es war zumindest nicht mehr nass, als wir da ankamen, aber je dunkler, desto kälter war es (trotz WINTERJACKE). Und später hat Tom sein Heizkissen benutzt, um meinen Po zu erwärmen.. Haha. Der Abend war auf jeden Fall spaßig. Ich und 7 Jungs: Tom, Metti, Christian, Darek, PeterK, Peterli, Robin. Klingt gerade wie Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Aber genauso umgekehrt. Ich war natürlich die kleinste ;) Auf der Bierbörse habe ich Münchener Hell, Erdbeerbier, 2 heiße Met, Rothaus Pils, Mühlen Kölsch. Die ersten drei haben mir ganz gut geschmeckt.

Es ist das Ende der zweiten Woche meines Praktikums in der audiometrischen Abteilung im EV. Ich durfte ab und zu schon alleine Tonaudiometrie und Tymp messen. Immer wieder brauchte ich Hilfe, aber es sollte ja eigentlich normal sein.

Juhuuu :)

 So ab ins Wochenende! Ich fahre diesmal nicht nach Jülich. Thomas ist beschäftigt mit der Wahl. Ich mach mir ein schönes Wochenende in Hamburg und gucke Phantom der Oper. ;) Schönes WE!!

IHA goes to Denmark

Juhu! Das erste neue Land im Jahr 2015 :D Die allererste Erfahrung mit Fähre überhaupt.

Wir haben in Kopenhagen im Generators Hostel übernachtet, war ziemlich cool eigentlich. Zumindest haben wir eigenes Badezimmer und mussten nicht durch den Flur zum Duschen rennen ;) Das Hochbett ist ziemlich stabil und das Zimmer hat genug Steckdosen. Haha.

Dänemärk ist ziemlich schön. Wir hatten da super Glück mit dem Wetter. Ich weiß zwar nicht, ob der Transport da auch so gut ist. Hoffentlich. Wir sind die ganze Zeit da entweder zu Fuß gelaufen oder mitm Bus gefahren.

Wir haben diese besucht:

Oticon Medical

1. G.R.A.S Mikrofon
2. Widex
3. DTU
4. Oticon Medical
5. Bruel & Kjaer
6. Delta

Die Hörgerätehersteller, besonders Widex, haben unglaublich tolle Labore. DTU hat auch super ausgestattete Labore und Hörkabine. Die Präsentation bei Oticon war aber ziemlich interessant (und mal wieder schön zu hören, wenn einer von Medizintechnik auch da arbeiten kann. Yeah, hab Chance:)). Delta ist genauso interessant, besonders die Mensa. Aber im Allgemeinen ist es interessant zu wissen, wie der Umgang da zwischen Chef und seinen Mitarbeitern und wie die Firmen echt auf die Gesundheit der Mitarbeiter aufpassen. Das Essen in den Mensen da war unglaublich. Lekker und richtig gesund. Das kann man echt nicht mit deutschen Mensen vergleichen. 

Auch wenn das Eis da 4x teurer als in Deutschland ist (4Euro ein Kugel, wahnsinn!), ist es eine interessante Vorstellung bei vielen, in Dänemark ein neues Leben einzurichten. Ich finde es auch sehr interessant. Aber lass mal lieber. Ich liebe Thomas und er ist mir wichtiger, als nach Dänemark zu ziehen. Außerdem weniger Bock auf vierte Sprache ;)

Tivoli

Oh. Einen Abend waren wir im Tivoli. Super schön. Muss die Fotos später noch finden. Ist anscheinend nicht mitkopiert worden und hoffentlich hab ich keinen Blödsinn gemacht und die Fotos gelöscht. Muss am WE bei Thomas mal gucken.

New Start. New Hope.

Juuuuppp!! They accept my master application! No more bridging courses!
I smell it, 2015 will be a great year ;)
So, I started to arrange, how my master-plan should look like. And yes, I'm dreaming again of internship outside Germany in 2016, where almost two years ago I've considered to work or do master.

It's in Michigan!!
My aunt lives in Toledo but works in Ann Arbor, just directly there, where I want to go. She offered me to live with her while I'm there, so I don't need to worry about my accomodation.

Tom supports my idea as well. Pap agreed. Bro is happy. Mom still didn't understand my concept.
I'm so blessed that I have them :) Gotta get busy looking for the opportunities then :))

*fingers crossed*

Be Right Back (Soon!)

Ah nee.. Ich hab ja so gut wie gar nix gepostet.

Also nun gut. Ich sage euch nur kurz. Nächste Woche und übernächste Woche finden die Klausuren statt und ich muss echt lernen :(

Verzeiht mir bitte. Ich werde bald wieder zurück zu euch kommen! 

Weihnachtsmarktmarathon 2014

Yup! My annual tradition: Weihnachtsmarktmarathon.

On the list this year:
1. Jülich
2. Haus Overbach, see last post :)
3. Oldenburg

4. Bremen

5. Würzburg

6. Rothenburg ob der Taube

Merry christmas, everybody :)
May Jesus's guidance always upon you!

Christmas is finally near!!

Hey, sorry for have been absent from blogging for a few weeks. University life didn't allow me to breath, I guess. And evrytime I got free time, all I need is just to go back to Tom. Recharge my energy, encourage myself to finish what I have decided. I'm sure in the end, it's gonna be good. But I didn't expect that this path I chose is gonna be this hard. I tried to stop blaming and complaining. No good result. I should try harder.

Anyway, I (and my group) was kicked out from experiment class, on the evening we celebrated christmas in the flat. That was for sure the best present for the end of the year :( So, this week has been pretty stressful, because I had then 3 experiment classes ( two was planned, the other one we have to re-do) and 1 deadline for paper. But we made it. I must say, that I got a good partner for the paper, so it was totally fine. Now I have to make all the reports as soon as possible.

Last week I was in Jülich on Christmas Market in Haus Overbach, the most peaceful place I know in Jülich. And it was just lovely.

Haus Overbach

Thanks by the way for the wishes on my birthday last sunday. My birthday was pretty good. Tom and Tom's mom cooked specially for me. I got a kiss at sharp 0 o'clock :) *feel like cinderella hihi, anyway the first birthday to celebrate ähm physically with boyfriend* Got a lot of presents. Thanks for Tom and his family, who made my birthday so meaningful. Got a lot of calls from best friends and fam :) Thank you! Love you so much!

As this week has gone and Galih is here, we were celebrating our birthday together. I baked nutella cake, as he wished, made wishes and blew on the candles together. We went to christmas market in Oldenburg.

So, enough for now. I still have something to do ;) Merry christmas..
Soon I'll make a recap for this whole year and as usual new year resolutions :)
