Something to remember

Batik Wall Hanging
 

I never expected to spend more than four years in an engineering building, especially when my major is, still, health science

I was very delighted for the pleasant surprises the universe has in store for me

There were a lot of happy memories

There were numerous serendipitous encounters to meet people who, many of them, remained socially connected up to now. I learn a lot from those people and hope there was something they can learn from me

Even though my first month in Ireland was a little hectic with me being contracted smallpox, I had another serendipity moment. I got the opportunity to commemorate W.B. Yeats’ 100th birthday.

It was a great way to introduce me to Irish culture. A culture that I like so much to the point where I wrote one of W.B.Yeats’ poems at the end of my thesis

That, I suppose, was the wrapped-up of my breathtaking adventure in the land of the Leprechaun

Something that inspires me to write this short piece to paint a vivid mental picture of Ireland and all the memories I have associated with it

This hand-made wall hanging was a symbol of Ireland and Indonesia friendship with shamrock and harps represent Ireland. The batik frame and natural dyeing process represent Indonesia

May the relationship will get stronger in the future

I assume this is goodbye with one foot out the door

I’m not sure what the future holds for us, but I hope our paths will cross again. Till then, may we all stay healthy, safe, and joyful
