I can’t imagine that I have many
pen pals from around the world. I’m enjoying the moment, when we share our
story. It doesn’t matter the story is important or not. There’s no barrier
between us.
We have difference time, 2, 5,
12, and 15 hours. We’re busy with our business and tired too. But, there’s a
moment when we remember our best friend, because the value of friendship is
priceless.
The first meeting was friend from
Europe, Serbia. He lives at village, Leskovac.
I met Master Cam from Arizona,
US. He had bachelor degree in Fine Art and Graphic Design at Washburn
University. I forced him to be my unofficial private art teacher lol!
After that, I met Pokemon girl
from Pennsylvania, US.
Then, someone who love history
and care about his hometown in Tamil Nadu, India. He told me about Madurai and
their temple.
Also, the smart and beautiful
girl from Ukraine. She loves to watch anime like me!
I have learned many things from
them. They make me to be brave, more confident, care our parents, live healthy,
be productive, love and care each other.
So, my friend from Serbia is not good
in English, me too. Because of that we use simple words that we can understand
lol! Our grammar is very very bad! I was shock when I heard his story about
muslim in Serbia. He said that muslim in Serbia drink beer and go to the club.
I was sad, but the positive thing is there are some muslim in Serbia. I hope they
don’t drink beer again, or maybe eat pork/ham/bacon and the others haram food!
Master Cam told me that Facebook
is social distraction and wasting time too. Wasting time is sign of constant
boredom. He’s an atheist. But, he’s the smartest pen pals that I ever had. We
have a great discussion about our faith. Because English is his native
language, he used some complex sentences lol! I actually didn’t understand but
sometimes I pretend to understand him.
Of course, if your English is good that’s not complex sentences! I
respect and appreciate him not just as my best friend, but as brother and
teacher.
This Pokemon girl has friend from
Indonesia before me, she was an exchange student. It’s difficult to make a good
conversation with Pokemon girl. I couldn’t talk with her like I talk to Master
Cam and the beautiful girl from Ukraine. She replied me with simple words, such
as “Yup”, “I see”, “Nice”. So, I confused to think what the good topic which
interest her.
This guy is from India and study
about computer science. He’s very busy with his project. Someday he needs my
help to explain about Neutrino Observatory. Well, I said that my teacher in
college didn’t teach me Lol! But I didn’t give up because I remember the documentary
film about that. There’s one Neutrino Observatory in Japan too. And the
scientist wants to build in Tamil Nadu because that place is very potential.
But people in Tamil Nadu afraid that observatory can damage their hometown.
I thought as a chemical analyst
we should learn more about subatomic, beside proton, neutron and electron.
Because that’s new science that we haven’t knew yet. If someone ask about quark
or neutrino, I’m just keep silent and can’t say anything. I know, we’re not
using it in our daily job. But that’s one of basic knowledge. We should follow
the development of science.
The beautiful girl from Ukraine
is studying at Sumy State University, the fourth best university in Ukraine.
She likes to watch anime, such as SAO, and Kaichou wa Maid sama. So, I suggested
her to watch Death Parade. And she told me that she cried when watch it. On
this week, something bad happen to my partner laboratory. I was afraid, but
this girl courage me. After that, I was more relax and tried to enjoy the
moment.
I know, I shouldn’t write about
my pen pals in my blog, because they have privacy. But, I can’t hide my
feeling. I’m so happy to meet them. I’m lucky and grateful.
I love all of you. Thank you so
much for being part of my life.
SFMBE~ Sorry for my bad English!
