About Me

Bulan, 22 years old. An accounting student who’s into Model UN and debating. This blog is a compilation of hand-picked, well-chosen, curated and slightly– if not dramatically-exaggerated stories of my life.

She used to cover her skin, willing to sacrifice all the fun under the sun, thought that the experiences missed would be a great, cheap, and easy trade for just a tad bit lighter skin.
.
Now she realizes, that her tan skin glows as she runs to the beach. That her face lightens when she hikes mountains. That her hair magically shows different spectrum of colors when she rides bikes and horses. That her eyes widen when she swims at lakes, rivers, and oceans. That her nose gets itchy when she sneezes after spending too many hours outdoors, and that she loves it all.
.
And the beauty standard that she used to believe religiously, will no longer stop her.

Rumi:
“My heart is so small it’s almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it?”
“Look,” He answered,
“your eyes are even smaller yet they behold the world.”

Alhamdulillah 🙏

@d_silviana and I wanted to join this competition but our (former) teammate, @mellvaniaa said that she’s tired (she’s old like that), and didn’t want to do it with us.
.
Heartbroken, we turned to @ftan96 , another friend that became my teammate in another competition, where we didn’t win.
.
Registering this event with no expectation, as usual, and only attending to get the experience. People say we underestimate ourselves a lot, but it’s maybe one of our ‘coping mechanisms’ to avoid heartbreaks.
.
During the competition, we always pray for the best, but keep on doubting if we’d even make it to the next round. We told ourselves “no matter what will happen, we should have faith that it’s what’s best for us, as God never make mistake”.
.
Memang tawakal harus dibarengi dengan ikhtiar 🙏😇
.
Can’t believe we got 1st place out of 102 participants 🙏🥺 Truly happy to earn this well-deserving award with the both of you guys!

Special thanks: @suryantiayuri @violinmeidy @vanvancrystal @w_axel_r

Last year I also went to Bali to attend my 5th international conference, @balimodelunitednations in the first half of the year, went to the same venue, stood on the same stage. But this year, some things changed.
.
I sat on the seat in front—the opposite side of where I was last year. I was not the one being handed the best delegate award, I was the one handing the awards instead. It was no longer my 5th, I’ve had more experiences after that.
.
Lessons learned:
1. Don’t die useless
2. Stay humble, lower your ego
3. The arguments, not the voice
4. Connection, attachment, and saying goodbyes
.
More on my blog!

Thank you for everyone who’s been there since day 0! Especially to kak @endypangar @shim__ar and kak @tiarafirdaus13 who’ve been VERY KIND. Also to @shiwalishrestha my roommate 💕 AND ALL THE OTHER BOARD OF DAIS and SECRETARIATS. .
Can’t wait to see you guys again 💕💕

First failure of 2020: Made it to top 6 finalists

First failure of 2020: Made it to top 6 finalists of Deloitte Tax Challenge 2020, but didn’t get any award.
.
Nonetheless, it was a great experience for us. Learning about transfer pricing, tax stuffs, meeting new friends, getting nü information regarding Deloitte and every services they have. I even get the chance to meet The Great Wise Human @geraldowb and had two lunches with several Deloitte professionals 😂 although Instead of using that experience to actually gain insightful knowledge about taxation, I used those opportunities to ask about how often and where do they have to travel instead! (Typical Bulan).
.
January’s Wrap Up will be on the blog(?) hopefully(?)
.
Anyway, thank you @deloitte_indonesia for giving us this opportunity. Also thanks to ci @suryantiayuri who also came to see our final presentation 💕God is truly good, and I’m totally feeling #hashtagblessed
.
Cheers for this first failure and many more future failures to learn from 🥂

It all started when I—who definitely has no accounting-related competition experience prior to the registration date—, demanded two of my closest friends to register for this competition with me.
.
None of them agreed initially, but of course—yours truly, insisted. Not knowing that this competition is regarded as one of the most prestigious competitions in Indonesia by some, it is held biennially, and lasts for 6 DAYS AND 6 NIGHTS. None of us expected that we’d get this far. But we did well, y’all, alhamdulillah.
.
I’d like to thank Allah first, because it’s impossible for us to be here without His help and blessings, and then my two amazing team mates, @d_silviana and @mellvaniaa, because it is thanks to all of our hard-work we could go this far, ci @suryantiayuri , and of course Mam @finastrella — whom have helped us in many ways, although the both of them were quite surprised as we kinda prepared on last minute— if we prepared at all. My closest friends, who skipped class so that they could see our final round presentation, and BOUGHT US DESSERTS @redillawsmn @naandyaa @fernanda_thalia, of course my family @mrs.srimartini.iz , @muazlho , @nannaiskandar, and my boyfriend @livanoyudistira and of course his family too 💕 @nikensitiefendy @calvarico.bima , our lovely Liaison Officer @gekmasyeni masyeni who—obviously— was bothered by our silly requests, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO BELIEVE IN US when we didn’t even believe in ourselves, who trust us, and support us unconditionally.

Whenever someone asks me “what should I do for my very first MUN?” My usual answer is “YOU HAVE FUN”.
.
Because if you attend conferences merely to get awards, you’ll lose interest in it sooner or later, and you’ll forget that conferences are MORE than awards.

P.S: Swipe to see how much @ngyongzheng123 hates me

[FUTURE LEADER CONGRESS 2.0]
.
Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.
.
Last year, I started this conference-ing journey thingy by applying and attending @futureleadercongress 2018, that I stumbled upon through @apyouths instagram account. I met many great new friends, and during the whole conference I learned about many new things. At first I was afraid, as I’ve never attended any international conferences before, thinking about whether I’d be fine during the whole 4 days abroad.
.
But it was more than worth it. Facing your anxieties and fears, actually discussing about how to tackle world’s problems, UN SDGs, etc.
.
I thought about attending this year’s FLC, almost applied, but I can’t believe that they invited me as @apyouths.secretariat Indonesia’s ambassador instead 💕😍🥰
.
I thank God that I can be here today, I feel so blessed 💕 alhamdulillah ❤️❤️
.
I also thank FLC and APYouthS that I can be here today at the U.N. 🥰🥰
