a ticket to ride

And at last, we finally get our ticket today. And fortunately it was the route that I longing for (transit via Narita). So, I'll step my foot on Japan also, even its only for 9 hours.
But, the time will allow me to pray, asking to Allah, that someday I'll come again to Japan. Do you believe that when we take some of the land (sand) back home, someday we will come again to the place where the sand belong. Yes, it just an old belief, but it does happen to me.

Some days ago, I also have a chance to visit my campus here in Palembang and those circumstances grow the spirit within me, the curiosity about anything, to earn and to learn knowledge, as much as we can. I do hope that my short 'professional training' to USA will encourage others to follow, and the most important is, to make myself agree that the world outside are very vast to see, to explore. Let us open our eyes, empty our mind thus to let the new ones come in.

Thank you for those who inspire me, my colleague, my family, my teachers and all acquaintances, the ones who sincerely sent prayers to Allah for me and for the safety of my journey. Hope I may comeback next year safe and secure, with a bundle of new experiences to share without a hasty feeling to become arrogant.
Amin
