Story about this 22 yo girl

Dear internet friends,

Alhamdulillah ketemu lagi sama Januari. Lahir di bulan Januari kaya semuanya serba "start a new life". Karena tahun dan umur juga baru ya jadi pastinya tiap awal tahun punya cita-cita untuk setahun kedepan. Take it easy guys, karena kita punya a whole year untuk memperbaiki kesalahan, penyesalan kita di tahun kemarin. 

Ulang tahun kali ini gw bisa di rumah, karena actually selama 4 tahun ulang tahun gw selalu di Semarang. Ada surprise nya dari keluarga gw yang tiba-tiba naro kado di atas kasur. And I got a pink sbux tumblr yang emang udah gw pinginin (sebenarnya gw pingin semua hal yang berbau "wanita karir dewasa") LOL. Setelah kerja dan punya penghasilan sendiri, gw udah belanjain 3/4 my salary and still feeling proud like a queen. 

Ohiya, 3 bulan nyicipin dunia kerja yang kemarin akhirnya gw resign, (what? resign?), yappp. gw tuh seneng banget sama outfit outfit ke kantor. karena kerjaan gw emang kantoran banget di CBA Chemical Industry, Serpong. Divisi SCM, purchasing lab dan benih. 3 bulan gw dapet banyak pengalaman nyicipin berkarir. Bersikap depan atasan, minta acc, berhubungan dengan supplier, invoice, purchase order, purchase request, daily report, wow kadang pusing demi apapun sama kerjaan. karena kantor di awal tahun mau audit, dan gw dateng pas mau akhir tahun, jadi kebayang hectic nya kan guys. 

Tapi gw punya tim yang baik banget, fun, kita sempet gathering ke dufan dan asik asik banget orang nya. ada Catal temen samping akyuuuu, paling banyak ngobrol sama catal dan nanya nanya hehe, ada yuli yang nge kos deket rumah, lalu ka lintang resha crisvy dan gaby. Lalu ci irene dan ci lili. Awal kerja emang rasanya pingin balik kuliah haha, abisan kuliah enak, waktu nya bebas dan bisa pacaran, bisa jalan jalan juga.

But, guys... kalian harus tetep bersyukur apapun yang kalian kerjakan. Dan gw bersyukur dengan apa yang gw temuin, termasuk teman-teman ini. See you on top :) dan selamat 22 tahun cit!

2017!

Happy New Year! Gak berasa ya. Di tiap tahun pasti gw update tentang tahun baru. Dan sepertinya kalo tidak salah ingat juga a bit throw back tahun sebelumnya. Ih btw ini gw ngetik pake laptop, enak banget ya keyboard laptop itu :""""") udah 2 bulan ini gw ngetik pake keyboard komputer. Ternyata banyak hal hal yang tadinya gak gw sadari, tapi jadi be-ra-sa, kaya ngetik di laptop contoh kecilnya. Dan... selama itu pula gw jadi jarang banget main laptop. Karena yah pulang kerja juga udah capek. Kerjaan juga udah mulai banyak. Jadi gak bisa kaya awal-awal kerja aja, yang masih bisa update blog di kantor. 

Anyway, yang mau gw tekankan di post kali ini adalah, BERMIMPI. Karena apa, karena semua yang gue lakuin di 2016 ini berawal dari mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan. Di tahun-tahun sebelumnya, mimpi yg gw punya tidak terarah. sampe pada akhirnya gw lupa sama mimpi-mimpi itu. Di 2016, gw list apa yg perlu gw capai dan apa yg perlu gw lakuin. gw list guys. Dan you know what? Semuanya menjadi kenyataan! 

Gw nulis untuk setidaknya bisa menghasilkan uang 1jt! yang diawal tahun 2016 dirasa gak mungkin gw bisa. sampe temen kosan yang liat mimpi yg gw tulis di kertas dan gw tempet di depan meja belajar gw tuh bilang, ah jangankan 1jt cil, coba 1rb dulu deh bisa gak hasilin pake keringet sendiri. susah kan tuh. kata nya. Emang gw akuin tuh awal tahun gw merasa gak mungkin, tapi gak ada salahnya untuk tetep nulis 1jt? 

Lalu gue nulis lulus agustus, yang actually waktu januari skripsi gue bukanlah apa-apa yang masih di luar jangkaun. Dari skripsi itu, gw belajar nge planning hal-hal kecil. nge plan pengerjaan skripsi sama partner, namanya weekly plan. dan dari situ, skripsi gw mulai teratur! dan itu gue baru lakuin dan atur weeklt plan sehabis lebaran, dimana sehabis lebaran skripsi gw baru mencapai prancangan alat. totally amazing loh cuma gara-gara "plan" atau "rencana" semua yang gw atur, menjadi kenyataan.

Emang bener ada yg bilang, hidup kita yang nentuin sendiri arah nya. Allah itu maha baik. kita cuma bermodalkan pensil sama kertas dan satu lagi bagi gw, jangka waktu 1 tahun. karena semua orang pasti punya resolusi di tiap tahunnya. cuma jarang orang yang bener-bener nyatet dan tempel itu resolusi. 

Selanjutnya, gw bener-bener nyantumin gw pingin IPK berapa. DAN KENYATAAN WOY! bener-bener kenyataan. Selanjutnya gw throw back lagi kalo gw pernah nyeletuk ingin banget rasanya "tau" chandra asri dalemnya kaya apa, karena waktu kecil emang sering ke Pantai Anyer, dan kejadian gw Kerja Praktek di sana.

Terakhir ada lagi.... yang ini bener-bener impian gw dari kecil. Tapi belum berani gw post karena gw nunggu dapet sesuatu yg bisa gw tunjukin. dan secara teknis, gw udah bisa dapetin. tau gak? itu semua dari mimpi. mimpi yg gak gw percaya sampai saat ini menjadi kenyataan. kalo mimpi itu gak di tulis, kalian pasti akan lupa pernah mimpi apa. cuma nulis doang, eh kejadian. itu buat gw bener-bener wow. "tujuan" ini yang buat gw ngerasa orang-orang itu hidup. dan 2016 ini ngejadiin gw orang yang sangattttttttttttt hidup. sangat sangat sangat sangat hidup.

walau tetep, setelah ninggalin semarang, terkadang rindu perkuliahan dan per semarangan, dan permainan-permainan, dan keluguan, dan saat-saat bokek tapi tetep mau jalan. demi, 2016 itu tahun yang hebat. bahagia. dan bikin senyum. bikin ketawa. bikin jatuh cinta. dengan sosok pria (aishh haha) yang selalu bikin ketawa, gak ada drama nya, parahhh, yaa berantem tiap bulan kalo gw dapet aja paling, tapi apa ya, aneh nya, walau gw tau gw marah dan dia parah, tapi gw tetep ngerasa kalo kita gak bener-bener marah, nih ya, kalo misal marah sambil chat, pasti kalimatnya aja yg marah, aslinya palingan ketawa dan gemas, kalo di telfon pasti langsung ketawa dan bahagia. ih jadi kisah romantis kan blog nya. kya kyaaaa, gw bener-bener suka sama bau baju nya dia. bau semua nya deh, dan orang nya tuh asik abis kalo kalian kenal wkwk, dan gak ambil ribet. kalo A ya A, kalo suka ya beli. hidup nya tuh enak deh favorite ku banget hehe karena menyeimbangin dengan aku yang plin plan dan ribet. Yang terpenting, hidup nya gak terpengaruhi sama orang, karena dia tau apa yang baik untuk dia lakuin.

(btw, woy ini kan lagi cerita gw kenapa jadi penuh sama kisah romantis ini arkhh)

See you teman-teman yang setia membaca blog ku. xxx

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...

His named Riandy

#2010

Throw back to the day when he was driving me back home. We had dinner in Sudoku, actually that's my choice. I didn't know he wear black as same as me, so we were connected haha. I knew it! Since the day we met. And we went around 4 to Paragon. Fyi, he likes shopping. He didn't mind to spend his money a lot. He loves seeing gundam, toys, shoes, books, sometimes clothes, and because I love being around with him, it doesn't matter for me. I like those too. We wonder in the future he more likely to ask me to go shopping while I prefer to stay in couch haha. I never been this happy with someone. It's different feeling. I laugh a lot, I smile a lot, I pretend like a kid a lot, and he always said I deserve to get trait better. I always feel like a woman. In this past a year, he never failed to amaze me. Well, back on Sunday Oct 16th, He came to Tangerang and visited my house. Met my family. One step closer I guess. And yeah, yesterday is our first year being together. We decided to celebrate in normal, no special things because we both not typically romantic person. I said no flowers, no gift, no candle, just having dinner together (although everyday we do this). We didn't wear formal outfit, just casual. No surprise. Dinner went normal like usual until he driving me back home. He had a gift in his hand, wrapped by own himself. He said this is something for you, for your graduation, for your new job, for our a year being together. I can not believe it. He had something for me and I hadn't? How come? This is so unfair. I knew there's a valuable thing inside. But he didn't lemme open it until he arrived and said open it. He didn't want to see my live reaction because he's too shy. So we made a deal, I don't want to open it without him and he didn't want to see me live, that's why video call's going. 

Sebelum Sidang

..... karena aku ingin mengingat momen ini. 

H+3 lebaran (9 juli) dengan semangatnya aku sudah berada di Semarang lagi. Ya.. walau sebenarnya pakek jalan-jalan dulu sih sekeluarga (yap, naik mobil dari Jkt). Perasaannya waktu itu, degdegan. Gak rela ninggalin suasana liburan. Setelah lebaran itu entah kenapa ngelakuin apa apa jadi semangat. Sampe akhirnya target Agustus pun tercapai. Partner ku orang yang asik banget. Sigap dan pendengar yang baik (karena aku orangnya suka cerita haha). Kita berdua sama-sama gak rajin (bangun siang, tidur cepet, kalo bisa main lebih milih main), tapi hebatnya... kita punya cita-cita yang sama, dan hal itu yang menjadi tujuan kita, sampai akhirnya pekerjaan lebih terorganisir, kita punya weekly plan, dan baru bener-bener nemuin metode yang efektif untuk ngerjain skripsi ini. Less than 4 weeks loh padahal. Seperti postingan sebelumnya, aku sempet ngeluh, sempet ngerasa gak mungkin. Rasanya pingin berterima kasih sama orang-orang yang membantu kelancaran ini. Doswal aku, Pak Andri, yang marahin aku karena "buat apa ngambil matkul perbaikan lagi", beliau tidak mau mentandatangani krs semester ganjil ku itu. Beliau yakin aku bisa sidang bulan Agustus or at least September. Akhirnya aku ganti krs lagi dan dengan mantap nya hanya mengambil TPPK. Karena emang sempat tidak percaya diri akan wisuda Oktober (walau itu tujuannya), apalagi sampe sidang Agustus. Aku sama Arda sama-sama proud by our self karena kita yang "biasa-biasa" aja malah menjadi pioneer. Terima kasih juga sama Pak Indro (dosbing guehhh hiks) yang sumpah super duper baik parah dan memberikan jalan terbaik serta termudah dalam menyelesaikan pabrik ini. Demi, terharuh. Beliau yang ngasih semangat dan SELAMAT ke kita melalui jabat tangan yang sangat berarti wow banget. 

Ternyata benar, degdegan itu pasti ada ya. Aku sama Arda belajar kesana kemari dengan temen-temen yang makasih banget udah bantuin belajar. Tiap malem mimpi di sidangin. Tidur pun gak tenang. Lebay gaksi? Sampe ke mimpi cuy. Apalagi H-1, gue tidur siang pun degdegan :'( pertama kalinya. Akhirnya nyalain musik kenceng-kenceng, dan teringat waktu gue menghadapi ujian SNMPTN, gue juga dengerin musik pake earphone sampe lokasi tujuan ujian. Ah emang nenangin banget kalo dengerin musik itu. Malem nya gue gak belajar. Gue nonton Net TV :( wkwk abisan lucu aja liat Sule. Gue cuma butuh hiburan untuk mengalihkan degdegan nya gue. Tapi ajaibnya malah malemnya gue tidur nyenyak kaya kerbau.

Riandyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Kamu selalu ada banget sihhh. Riandy itu sosok yang menemaniku selalu (acikk hehe). Diem diem romantis. Gak banyak ngomong tapi langsung ngasih tindakan. Sampe sampe aku gak tau yang ngasih buket itu Riandy, aku kira temen yang ngasih. Riandy berjasa sangat penting sama pentingnya kaya Azfar, hehe. Aku mau juga giniin Riandy pas sidang nya kamu nanti. Ku tunggu kau ya.

Ohiya, liat video di bawah ini deh

Pagi buta loh itu. Suasananya mencekam ya. Dingin dingin sepi gimana gitu. Pada waktu itu, aku udah gak deg deg an sama sekali. Bawaannya enjoy. Jadwal sidang jam setengah 8. Gak tau nya diundur jadi jam setengah 10. Maju nya pertama. Persentasi berdua sama Arda, ketika tanya-jawab, Arda keluar. Baru mulai degdegan. Otak beku rasanya wkwk :") Tapi alhamdulillah hueee. Pas keluar ruangan, nangis. Karena otak kembali mencair. Tapi bahagia, liat banyak temen-temen yang datang berkunjung dan nyemangatin. Pas keluar, aku langsung di tangkap Riandy. Aku jadi bisa mewek di pelukannya (ceileh, engga deng). Lalu Riandy dan kawan-kawan lain nyemangatin. 

August 25th, 2016

"and if you are lucky enough, you will find some people who make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger. Then, suddenly live just get a little bit better."

Alhamdulillah finally I can finish my study. This is for you mom, dad.
