If you have read my post about OSPEK in Thailand for department and faculty level, today I will share for the OSPEK or Orientation Day in the university level as well as the Welcoming Day and Sports Mania for engagement between International Students and Thai Students. 3. Mahidol University Orientation for Postgraduate Students The orientation day for the university level was held in the Faculty of Graduate Studies, Salaya. The dean and the other professor welcomed us as new students and they explained specifically about life in Thailand, VISA processing, International programs, as well as the tips from the alumni of Mahidol University.

Mungkin ketika yang lainnya sudah mempersiapkan jauh hari terkait akomodasi di negara tujuan, berbeda dengan saya yang semua serba dadakan.  Karena berbagai drama inilah, sampai H-1 jadwal keberangkatan awal, saya belum mendapatkankan tempat tinggal. Apa nggak ada asrama chil? Ada kok, tapi lokasi dormitory nya di Salaya. Jadi, seperti UIN Malang ada yang di Jl.Gajayana dan Batu, nah fakultas saya berada di tepi sungai Chao Phraya Bangkok sekitar 23 km dari Salaya. Alhamdulillah, saat itu dr. Kevin yang saya ceritakan di postingan blog sebelumnya, menawarkan apartment dimana dia tinggal dan syukurlah masih ada kamar kosong. Beberapa apartment sudah saya hubungi dan ternyata sudah penuh ataupun kalau ada kamar kosong ternyata yang tersedia di lantai kesekian tanpa lift ataupun harga yang tak terjangkau wkwk. Akhirnya, saya tiba di Bangkok dengan sudah mendapatkan kamar di lantai 7. Yang ingin tau gimana sih apartment di Bangkok, bisa liat video Room Tour ini yaaa dan ber...

"They plan and Allah plan. Surely, Allah is the best planners" (Quran 8:30) Pernah mengeluh? merasa gagal? terpuruk? atau dilema dan galaunya luar biasa? I feel that. But, now I realized that it's the process of mature kalau kita mengeluh dan berkeluh kesah hanya pada-Nya. Absolutely, He will guide us, He will listen to our heart, and He will give the best for us, not what we want but what we need. Here, I will share how my life was going so far through this year. Setiap kegagalan atau penundaan, pasti akan ada hikmah yang telah Allah persiapkan. Semoga bisa meningkatkan keyakinan kita pada "rencana-Nya", karena Dialah sebaik-baiknya pembuat rencana.
