Federer just announced that he will miss few tournaments this season in Dubai, Bogota, Miami, Indian Wells and Roland Garros due to knee injury and decided to have arthroscopic surgery. He will not be back until the grass-court season in June at the earliest. Well the news just came out yesterday and I've already missed him 😭 so in honor of those lonely months to come, I'd like to write all the nicest things about him today. The things that make me admire him much more than just a tennis player. The things that make Roger Federer, Roger Federer.
2 minggu lalu, Jumat 7 Februari 2020, Roger Federer baru aja ngadain exhibition match yang diberi tajuk Match in Africa 6 bareng Rafael Nadal, Bill Gates dan Trevor Noah di Cape Town, Afrika Selatan, dimana semua keuntungan dari pertandingan itu akan diberikan untuk The Roger Federer Foundation. Acara ini suksessss besar dengan terkumpulnya lebih dari 3,5 juta dollar amerika (itu banyak bgt!!) di akhir acara huhuhuhu nangiiiissss I'M SO PROUD!!!!! 😭😭💛💛💛
Here's a little background of what The Roger Federer Foundation is.
The Roger Federer Foundation berdiri sejak tahun 2003. Fokus utamanya adalah to support early education for little kids in South Africa and Switzerland. Kenapa milih Afrika Selatan? Pertama, fun fact: Federer masih keturunan Afrika Selatan. Ibunya yang berdarah Afrika Selatan. Kedua, mereka pun udh riset, Afrika Selatan adalah salah satu negara dengan daerah termiskin di dunia. Jadi selain Swiss, sebagai negara asal Federer, mereka memilih untuk memaksimalkan bantuan di salah satu negara termiskin yaitu Afrika Selatan.
Terus kenapa yayasan ini memilih bergerak di bidang edukasi atau pendidikan? Waktu itu ada interview yg ngomongin ke arah ini. Interviewernya nanya, intinya, ''Kan membantu anak-anak bisa di bidang kesehatan, hak asasi manusia dll. Kenapa anda memilih di bidang pendidikan?'' Gue tertegun banget sama jawaban Federer.
''Education really gives you a great opportunity to learn in life. It's good for your health, it's a human right, it breaks cycle of poverty. There's so many good aspects to it. It maybe makes a family stronger too. Makes you more aware of things. All these little things at the end become the most important thing.'' Federer answered.
Setuju banget sama Federer, pendidikan tentu bisa menaikkan derajat keluarga, memutus rantai kemiskinan dan juga termasuk hak asasi manusia setiap orang untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak. Kalo tujuan dia adalah pengen bantu anak-anak miskin ya apalagi kuncinya kalo bukan mulai dari pendidikan. Berarti kan Federer pun sepakat bahwa pendidikan adalah akar dari kesejahteraan hidup.
Merinding. Keren. Banget.
Pertama kali gue nonton interview ini dan denger bagian ini, gue langsung gak mau berpuas diri sama yg namanya pendidikan. Plus.... makin ngefans sama ni orang jutaan kali lipat.
👇 Video interview lengkapnya 👇 Bagian ini ada di menit 1:14.
Back to Match in Africa 6, pertandingan exhibition kemarin bukan yang pertama, tapi memang kali pertama yang diadakan di Afrika Selatan. Yang sebelum-sebelumnya sering ngadainnya di Swiss. Dan pertandingan ini, yang nonton, se-stadion penuh bahkan tercatat sampai 51.000an penonton... Itu banyak banget. Gak ada pertandingan tenis profesional manapun yang penontonnya sebanyak itu.
Dan lagi acaranya diadain di Afrika gitulhoooo. Maksudnya, berdasarkan riset Federer aja negara ini adalah yang termiskin, tapi trus ngadain acara disini tetep rame. Entah yang nonton warga asli Afrika atau para fans Federer yang dateng dari seluruh dunia, tapi berarti emang banyak banget yang dukung Federer untuk tujuan baik ini huhuhuhuhu terharu......... 💛
Di akhir acara ini pun terkumpul sampe lebih dari US$3.500.000, yang kalo dikonversi ke rupiah (dengan kurs dollar saat ini Rp13.681,72) mencapai Rp 47M-an... duhhh gila banget ampun w ikut bahagia banget juga 😭😭😭💛💛💛

Looking back to my first EVER Federer-related post on this blog, it's clear that I liked him only just the way he plays on court, or how good he is in general as a tennis player. It's fascinating to me that my love and admiration for this man has grown SO MUCH over these past years. Now I see him BIGGER than just a tennis player. I see him as a father who always prioritizes family over everything, him as a husband who is loving and always recognizes his wife's support behind the great achievements in his career, him as a friend who is humorous and very supportive, him as a celebrity who is modest and tender-hearted, him as a philanthropist with a dream to change children's life for the better by his incredible work with his foundation, him as a person with the never-ending passion, dedication and love for the game that we called tennis. I value him not only as an athlete, but a human being, as whole.
There will come a time when his tennis career will be over, but when that time comes, I will keep supporting this man with everything he does, or will do, in life. My full support for him will never lessen, but always steepen. This man is what I aspire to be.

I WITNESSED ROGER FEDERER WON HIS 18TH GRAND SLAM TITLE!!!!! It was unpredictable. It was magical. It was peRFect. I cried. This win was an extremely emotional one for me personally. Because I was waiting for this moment since the first day I devoted myself as an RF fan. Roger Federer is not just a tennis player to me. He's my idol. My inspiration. My biggest role model. His fighting spirit and dedication for the sport he loves always inspired me in so many ways. So this win, too, means the world to me. I cried like a baby. I was so happy. I was so proud of my man that night.

I've been reading many articles that talk about investing in our twenties and why it's important for us as a human being. Those articles have opened my eyes that I, as a 21-year-old, have not invested so much. Fortunately I'm still in my early 20s tho, so I still have time to improve and invest more. And invest is not always about money. It's those simple things that will make you a better person for the years to come, like networking with people, volunteering, reading, learning new skill, etc. That's why my 2017 resolutions will be about some things to invest in me. Attending workshops/seminars Through seminar I'll be able to explore, exchange thoughts and learn things from like-minded professionals. I'll be richer in knowledge and feeling inspired by the time I leave the event. Therefore, this year I'd like to start attending seminar/talkshow in the topic I like the most which are nature and wildlife. WWF Indonesia often held talkshows in...
