Graduation Story #2

The second graduation was on Monday. I called MUA home. Her named Mba Win and Mba Nur. I got their contact from Inggit my kost-mate. They did perfectly their job. I was so beautiful and different. On Saturday and Sunday morning, I didn’t meet Riandy because her mother was in Semarang too. But we didn’t meet each other because they have to go to Kudus. On Friday morning before Jumatan, Riandy accompanied my family and I to package my motorcycle in Tawang. After Jumatan, he had an appoinment with Pak Widayat. And we went to Cimory without Riandy. There’s a funny story, My father had a wrong way with direction to Surabaya. While we wanted to go to Cimory from Bawen. So we turned back and got the right direction.

On Saturday, Ninda came over with Luthfi. She brought a snack parcel and we had a chat till around 4 pm. After that, we went shopping and had dinner outside. On the next day, I took my family to CFD-an at Simpang Lima, and baby brother was so excited because I said there’s a lot of Paw Patrol Lego there. At 9 am, we met Bagas in Lawang Sewu because he just arrived in Semarang with his friends by plane. Around 12 pm, Riandy came over and I had lunch with him. After lunch, my mom decided to buy “something” for my close friends. We wrapped it together at night.

The next morning, Mba Win and Mba Nur has already came around 4.30 am and all set. They did my look first and Moma then. The ceremony schedule was 6.30 am, and me just ready at 7 am. I believe they must be late.

I just entered the hall and we all ready to stand up for singing Indonesia raya and Mengheningkan Cipta. Suddenly my body felling unwell wanna fall down, I felt cold, and couldn’t see clearly. I told my friend that I have to go out. I just feeling like “upacara senin pagi waktu jaman sekolah dimana sering ngerasa mau pingsan”. I often like that when in high school. I called my father first before leaving the procession. And my father saw me walking out to door. When I can reach my father’s hand, I fall down into floor. It’s a long story. In my mind at that time, I can’t finish this graduation process. I wanna take off my toga also kebaya and others.

After 30 minutes being outside, I came back with well condition. I thank to God that I’m Ok. The ceremony feeling so so so long. My name was called around 10 am, and the ceremony was over at 11.30 or 12.

We took a family photo with graduation background behind, also there’s Riandy in it. I’m feeling so mature because I can take my boyfriend into my family. After that, my family left us alone because I still have arak-arakan Tekim. And Riandy again and again, driving me home and always be there. We stopped in Indomaret he bought me a variant of drink, 3 drinks. So cute. He stayed till around 4 pm and I remember he kept watching me eat my lunch with make up still on my face.

At night, I had dinner with Riandy. I just got my parent’s permission to spend the night with Riandy because tomorrow morning I have to leave Semarang. We had lunch in Marugame Udon. Like usual, aku gak pernah bisa habisin satu porsi udon. Tapi Riandy bisa plus porsi ku, hehe. That’s what man are for sometimes. Peace.

End of the second day. I’m writting in the office by the way. See you...

Graduation Story #1

Been a long time haven’t updated my blog yet. So, yeah, I finally graduated from college on last October. My family visited me on Wednesday while the first graduation ceremony was on Thursday. We had our night in Noormans Hotel and the next morning became the most hectic moment. My mother did my make up because I really didn’t care about look so I didn’t call MUA like the other girls did. I just put my hijab and toga on the ride. Cool, right?

In the beginning of ceremony, I felt sad because my mom and baby brother couldn’t enter the hall. Although when I attended the pre-event ceremony, a man who I didn’t know the name said that they set a room for mother and child with television in it. So they still can watch the whole procession. But the fact, they didn’t let anyone who bring child under 13 to come. I said on the phone to my mom, I saw there’s a room with television and air conditioner like that man said. I didn’t know what happened next but I know finally they could come over and had a seat in that room.

My father took a blurry picture of me when my name called to go on the stage. I smile and yeah, that’s it. It just happened 15-30 seconds and we have to wait 2-3 hours for being called.

When the ceremony was over, I saw my father, mom, and baby brother had a lot of gift on their hand. I got a lot of bouquet, a medium bear doll with toga, and my name with title bachelor of engineering. And I went outside with the to meet my other friends. I saw Riandy and he helped me to take my gift. This wasn’t his first time met my family because he had ever visited me before. Yeap, the day when I took him to Supermall Karawaci. Riandy took a picture of me with my family. And also my dad took a picture of me with Riandy. I remember there’s also Dawam took a picture of me with Riandy.

Nuke and his boyfriend, Rasyid (same name as Riandy, lol), gave a bouquet of flower and we took a picture together, four of us. The next situation was still took a picture with friends that I can not mention it one by one.

Because the weather was bad at that time, I went home with family. And Riandy still had other business to do. So he couldn’t join me home.

Around 6 pm, still the same day, Riandy visited me at home, we had a plan to have dinner together with my family. Before we had dinner, we went to Paragon Mall because baby brother want to buy a play-doh. Riand took a drive, lol. And then, we had dinner at Nasi Goreng Padang because my mom loves fried rice and Riandy gave a recomendation for this cuisine. The last time I ate nasi goreng padang, I got a circle red mark whole my body, and also fever. I checked it to the doctor and I got typhus. But the second chance I ate it, I’m just fine. Maybe my imun in a good condition. At nasi goreng padang, we met a lot of Tekim Friends, Agung, Bagus, Suryo.

End of the day one...
