Letter to South Korea

Malang, January 2014

Dear Niken, Seoul-obsessed girl

Happy New Year!

                How is your life sweetie? Still sweet right? Or now, have you change become ‘sweaty'? I hope you are not that sweaty as what I am worrying, hehee, just kidding sweetie. I am sure you always fine on your softest bed in your sweetest room A II 9, at your beloved dormitory of Sampoerna Academy Malang.

                I am happy to see you in a good condition right now, because I know that this time you are on the top of your confusion especially about your college. Is it disturbing? Of course the answer is a ‘BIG YES’. Calm down, Sweetheart, you are not the only one who feel that, the other 147 of the third batch is also having this ill. Heard that a month ago you’ve applied for scholarship at Seoul National University, have the result announced? Which one that you chose, College of Liberal Studies or College of Engineering? None both of them?
Just try to be humble if SNU is not your place, God planned thousands prettier days for you. As long as you keep your 3 values cheerfulness, hard-work, and also your parent-orientation, I swear you will always be in the way you are. When someone doubts your dream, you always say ‘at least I ever come to Seoul once in my life’, from that I know you are an ambitious little girl. How much do you wanna go to South Korea? A lot? So just keep holding on that flaming passion.
 

                The thing that I really want you to hold up is ‘the future is not ours to see’, remember? Exactly Que Sera Sera. Just feel alive, walk on your days passionately, an believe that later you’ll hang your ‘love padlock’ on the Namsan Tower with a man who will lead you and your children to the heaven. Keep moving forward, Seoul is waiting for your footstep, Sweetie.

With Love,

Your twin
