Goedemorgen!
It is now Autumn here. Early of the month was freakingly cold, 0 and 1 degree but now is getting a bit hotter to 8 -15 degree.
Being a student mommy, never been easy, as expected. But we are adapting well, InsyaALLAH.
Leaving abroad make us longing more for our loved ones - parents, siblings, cousins, friends and Malaysia - hot and sunny (not the haze), fooooods!!! Well, this journey of seeking knowledge thought us more about love - between us and our surrounding. But afterall, the Netherlands are warm people. They welcomed others and treat us equally. Greeted us everytime we met, either in Dutch or Indonesian language. One thing that for sure need to be instilled in our culture. #kembaracintasemusimdiNetherlands
From the day that I knew I am going abroad for my Msc, I started contacted 'potential' friends who were already there. One of them, is Nadiah Sidek, who blogged about her while while in Nebraska, Lincoln, USA. One thing I learned from here, "Adat perantau, kawan-kawanlah yang akan bantu sebab saudara mara mana jauh". Alhamdulillah, we met a bunch of nice people in Wageningen, who is willingly to help from scratch.
Makan-makan event is almost every alternate week, despite of the busy schedule of studying, we managed to get together, relieving stress, socializing and catching up with friends and eating varieties of Malaysian foooooood!
