Pasca Wisuda Lalu…….



Hai…
Just like the post before, I finally got my degree. Secara resmi udah sarjana. Udah diwisuda. Lalu? Iya ya, lalu apa? Idealnya sekolah > kuliah > kerja. Tapi apa memang segampang itu? Nyatanya, yang gue alamin sih nggak segampang itu.

Gue jujur aja kuliah lebih dari batas waktu ideal yang gue mau. Empat tahun itu maksimal (bayangan ideal di kepala gue). Tapi ternyata, gue lebih dari itu. Memang rencana itu bisa dibuat, tapi kenyataan kadang nggak seindah rencana. Long story short, lulus pada akhirnya setelah lima tahun. Lalu setelah itu kerja kan? Seharusnya. Nah, emang sekarang lagi ngapain?

Jadi sarjana ternyata nggak seindah yang dibayangin ya. Nyari kerja juga nggak segampang yang dipikirin. Jujur, gue ini memang hidup mudah. Well, bukannya gue anak orang kaya, nggak. Tapi paling nggak, saat gue kuliah, gue nggak perlu nyari duit sendiri, kerja, untuk bayaran. Alhamdulillah, orang tua masih bisa membiayai. Lalu? Ya kehidupan kuliah gue ya gitu-gitu aja. Karena nggak merasa butuh uang lebih (walau kadang kepikiran juga) gue nggak berusaha mencari kerja seperti teman-teman gue yang lain. Dari yang kerja ngajar les privat bahasa Jepang, les di bimbel ngajar MIPA, jadi penerjemah lepas atau apapun deh. Gue nggak pernah kepikiran untuk ikutan.

Awalnya alasannya karena rata-rata jobnya jauh dari rumah. Kedua alasannya karena ngajar MIPA (anak IPS ini nggak mungkin ngajar fisika kan?). Ketiga, karena nggak mau ngajar (atau lebih tepatnya dulu beralasan nggak bisa). Idealis atau nggak, gue juga nggak tau. Mungkin iya, gue idealis karena gue pada dasarnya memang nggak ingin jadi guru. Pada akhirnya, beberapa kali gue ikut juga jadi volunteer. Salah satunya waktu Jak-Japan Matsuri. Lumayan juga. Gue pikir saat itu nggak akan dapet honor, namanya juga volunteer. Tapi ternyata dapet, alhamdulillah. Sukses dapet pengalaman, jadi penerjemah ala-ala dan dapet uang jajan, plus seneng-seneng di festival Jepang.

Terus sekarang gimana? Ya alhamdulillah sih masih nganggur. Hehehehe… loh iya, alhamdulillah. Masih dikasih kesempatan nganggur. Banyak loh orang yang kepengen nganggur. Alias kebanyakan kerja jadi pengen libur (iya alasan aja Nifa mah alasan). Tapi serius, sekarang emang masih rajin nyari kerja. Bilang gue masih idealis tapi emang pengennya kerja di bidang yang gue mau. Ortu sebenernya udah gerah kayaknya liat gue kayak nggak ada kerjaannya di rumah. Tapi, percayalah, gue nggak segitu nganggurnya. I’m working for my dream. Hmm, nyicil nulis lebih tepatnya. Tulisan yang seharusnya udah selesai entah bertahun lalu, dan terus menerus gue ulang tapi nggak kunjung selesai.

Anyway, berkali gue curhat sama temen juga. Dan emang, mungkin jalan orang beda-beda. Ada yang mudah dapet kerja, ada yang berpikiran untuk kerja apa aja yang penting dapet kerja dulu, ada yang memang suka dengan kerjaan yang didapat langsung, ada juga yang lama kayak gue. Intinya adalah gimana caranya kita menyikapi ini semua kan? Beban pertanyaan yang berlanjut (dari “kapan lulus?” ke “udah kerja di mana?”), tuntutan dan ekspektasi orang tua yang mungkin tinggi juga daaaaan….. lingkungan sekitar (kayak mungkin teman-teman seangkatan atau teman-teman yang wisuda bareng) yang udah kerja dan udah bisa ‘bahagiain ortu’. At some point, gue iri, tapi sekarang, gue rasa nggak ada yang harus diiriin. Walau nyokap kadang masih suka bikin keki, tapi gue rasa, itulah caranya nyokap nunjukkin kalo dia sayang. Oooh, I love you too mom.

Udah ah. Gue sampe bingung sumpah itu nulis apa aja. Let’s meet at the end of the road, ya…

Ciao,
-Nifa

P.S: gue tadi dapet sms dari Dompet Dhuafa yang katanya gue lolos seleksi dokumen dan dapet panggilan psikotes dari Mizan. Let’s hope for the best ya. Wish me good luck.

Janji ooooh Janji

Talk to me about the promise I made with myself. To keep writing this blog consistently. I'm sorry for not write anything for almost a month (omg it's been that long). Okay. So let's catch up things. No, I will not write it in English. Gahahaha.... I'm tooooo lazy to think any grammatical sentences and to think about vocab and whatnots. Here we go....

Jadi, terakhir gue ngeblog itu... 18 Maret. Iya kan ya? (nanti kalo salah, gue edit deh). Banyak hal terjadi selama rentang 18 Maret ke 16 April ini. Wisuda udah lewat (ya, udah lewat, BANGET). Terus, sampe saat ini masih job-hunting (dan meladeni paksaan mama untuk ambil pekerjaan apa aja supaya kerja). Masih jadi pengangguran.

Tanggal 24 Maret itu, adalah tanggal bersejarah buat gue. Iya, gue wisuda (AKHIRNYA). Jangan tanya berapa lama gue kuliah, cukuplah tau gue udah lulus tahun ini. Perjuangan sampe ke tahap ini itu udah menghabiskan berember-ember air mata dan keringat (lebay). Nggak lah nggak selebay itu. Tapi yang penting, jadi hal yang selalu bisa gue ceritain panjang lebar ke siapa aja yang penasaran (tapi nggak akan gue bahas di sini karena akan lama banget serius deh). Well, wisuda itu.... gitu aja sih sebenernya. Tapi, beberapa momen memang bikin merinding banget (terutama pas padus UKM nyanyi Gaudeamus, huhu pengen nangis, inget dulu pernah nyanyiin itu). The moment when I moved the braid (aduh sumpah gue nggak tau harus pake rope atau apa), pengen nangis. Penantian ini, akhirnya.
Bangun jam 3 pagi, bangun sendiri lagi nggak pake dibangunin. Mandi, dandan (sendiri, kapok didandanin kayak tante-tante), bangunin orang rumah, sholat, siap-siap. Semua, gue kerjain sendiri. Rasanya excited banget emang. But that's the point. Momen ini punya gue. Ya, sisanya, ya kayak wisuda-wisuda lainnya. Hehehe....

Setelah itu? Jujur sebenernya lupa. Tapi, selama tanggal-tanggal itu, gue sibuk nyari kerja. Dan main sama temen. Ngajar juga. Gue ngajar anak-anak yatim bahasa Inggris. Lumayan, ada kesibukannya, walau memang nggak dibayar karena jadi volunteer aja. Walau bahasa Inggris gue masih ecek-ecek, tapi bisa bikin anak-anak itu ngerti, seneng juga sih. Merasa ilmu yang gue punya bisa berguna juga.

Jadi, sebetulnya, udah lama pengin nulis tentang wisuda itu. Sebagai satu tulisan utuh. Tapi, momennya memang udah lewat jauh. Jadi rasanya... aneh. Pun sebagai anak yang pelupa, jujur aja, detailnya pun lupa. Tapi mungkin nanti gue akan bikin satu posting khusus untuk gladi bersih wisuda dan wisudanya plus foto (oh nifa, so much for a promise, postingan tentang GAC aja belom jadi-jadi). Ya, segini aja dulu. Ingatan nggak mendukung. Hehehe....

So, I won't promise anything deh sekarang, takut nggak bisa menuhin. Tapi, gue akan berusaha untuk terus nulis, nggak tau seberapa sering, tapi akan. Secara udah gabung sama OWOP. OH IYA OWOP. I've joined OWOP (One Week One Paper). Jadi semoga bisa lebih konsisten nulis.

So byeee.....

Love,

Past 10 Days

Aloha~
Been a while. Not really long but I feel guilty for not updating. Well, anyway, I will posting some things that happened in these 10 days.

Chelsea's 110th Anniversary and failed to through the Semifinals 
Well, I was posted about Bayern Munchen's 115 year anniversary right? I was about to post about Chelsea's too but at the moment I was tooooooo lazy to do that. Hehehhee.... So yeah. On March 10, Chelsea was celebrated the 110 years since the club established. Old, I know but there are so many things I want this team achieved in the next years.
Just like BM, they also still compete in Champion League. On March 11 (March 12 already in Indonesia), Chelsea played against PSG at Stamford Bridge. I used to set my alarm, so I could watch it. But in the end, I didn't awake when my third alarm rang (yeah I'm that.... hard to be awaken). Well, when I finally woke up, I searched for news about the game and ended sad... The game was draw but Chelsea failed to go to the semifinals because of the goals aggregate. But then, they already got one cup/trophy, and now are concentrating on the Premiere League. They're still on the top of the table followed by Manchester City. Hope they will win the league. Been a while.

Got my graduation gown and ready to rock it (I don't even know what it means) but got worried coz accidentally sent wrong application letters
Soo.. I forgot when but finally I got the gown (well, toga means gown in English right, right?). I went to campus with my friends, but before that, I sent two application letters and cvs to two companies. It's still a job hunt season for me though. But then, before I reached campus, I felt so uneasy about my application letters. So I stopped my car and checked my email. There, I found that I really am stupid because I accidentally sent a wrong letter to a company. And I kept uneasy when I reached campus. 
I met my friends and I told them about it. They couldn't help but laughed at me (yeah, I'm so stupid after all) and told me to be careful from now on. Also they calmed me down and told me to resend the letter. So when I got my gown, we went home and I resend the letter immediately. Well, hope they'll understand. But still no response from them. Been a week already.

My grandmother death memorial
This Monday was my grandmother's death anniversary (or memorial, I don't really know which one I should use). Couldn't believe she already left us for a year. So we held pengajian for her. To pray for her peace. So many things happened, but unfortunately I couldn't write it down here since that was a family matter. But, what happened on that day, really really broke my heart and I really wish things will get better.
Pengajian went so smooth, so many people come. Most of them are my granny's pupils since she used to teach for some groups of pengajian in our neighbourhood. Some of them were my granny's sisters. Well, I hope she could rest in peace and may Allah give her the best place up there. 

That was pretty much what happened in the past 10 days. Nothing much, I know. It's because I can't really remember what happened in details and I just like summarized it. 

Well, I was planning to do another review but I don't know when it will ready to post. Ah, also about the dreamfest report, I am sorry I couldn't bring it as fast as I wanted, but I will post it. 

So, see ya for now....

A New Life (What's Up People)

ALOHA~
It's been a while (hell long time) since my last post here. Actually, the last post I made was on 2012 but since the post was kinda trashy (yeah I feel like it trashy post) so I deleted it. Maybe in the future I will deleted some of the posts that I thought unnecessary.

So, yeah. Been like 2-3 years not blogging, I actually miss to write here. A lot of things happened for these years, just like a blink of an eye (hyperbole, I know). But I will summarized all the years in this one post. Here we go.

2012
On this year, my last semester in my 3rd year was coming. Nothing eventful but KKL. Yeah, my friends and I were going to three cities for doing KKL (for you who doesn't know what KKL is, it stands for Kuliah Kerja Lapangan). The three cities are Bandung, Malang and Jogja. It was really a fun and a joyful trip. Eventhough after that we really need to submit a report about all of the trip, but we still had fun. Well, have a trip with friends always fun, right?

In the next semester of this year, I was entering my 4th year. I supposed to think about my thesis now. At least the topic and what kind of research I wanted to do. And, as a Educational student, I needed to do this experience teaching in a school. Well not just me but my friends who has not done it has to do it too. This semester was a hell. It really was. But, I think that will be unforgettable moments. The students I teached really nice eventhough they were really noisy and some of them were rebels, I still had fun. They reminded me of my highschool's memory.

2013
Ah, here we came, my (supposed to be) last semester. I still need to took 4 credits while I did my thesis. Not an easy job, I swore. And dealt with my supervisor was hard. She was sooooo busy since she was a Head Dept and I also busy with assignments, tasks, tests, exams etc. And so, my 8th semester passed, but not my thesis.

The next semester, my 9th semester came. No more classes, supposed to be a hint for me to finished my thesis already. But no. Still hard to dealt with my supervisors, went back and forth to Japan Foundation for searching some theories, but she had not acc my 1st chapter yet. I admitted, I was frustrated and run away. But then I back and I even went to Bandung to go to UNPAD and UPI to found another theories and still, I couldn't finished it yet, this semester. TT TT

2014
Still struggled with thesis. My mom said I was too laid back so my thesis is no where nearly done. So, I tried my best so my chapter 1 and 2 got acc and I could go to my 2nd supervisor. But, unfortunately, in the middle of it, my grandmother passed away. I was shock and.... really, I once again left my thesis behind. Put it in the back of my mind and I did nothing but accompany my grandfather. I kept doing that, until when I asked my friend about how her thesis and she nearly finished it. I became aware, if she graduated, then I might be too late to do it later. So, I started to do my thesis again and finally I could go to my 2nd supervisor. How surprised, she told me I was late. She then asked me to do my research and if I could go back to her as soon as possible. So yeah, I did well but again time went so fast. I almost done my thesis when my supervisors said I couldn't graduated this semester.

Here it came my very last semester. Since my research was almost done, I just need to finished it and went to both supervisors to made sure it's perfect to be presented and defended. And I was grateful when they said my thesis was done. So my last preparation was to presented and defended my thesis in front of the examiners right? And while I wait for the date, I helped my mom to be a scoring admin. I went to Puncak for maybe 2 months, 3-4 days a week. Such a refreshing and a pleasure after all of the things that made my mind went wild. I really experienced some things there. How to work with people, how to communicate with new people, how to present ourselves. Thanks to my mom, now I have 4 big sisters because of that events. They were assessors in the events so I mostly worked with them. And so, the work were over, here came my graduation exam. I was scheduled to defended my thesis on December 24 and on the very day, both my parents were out of town (talking about awesome). But, it went well. I felt so relax, and I did my best to defend my thesis in front of my examiners. And with it, I GRADUATED! Hell yeah.... Thank God, finally.


So, now, I am struggling about what job I want to do. I'm still jobless and I am waiting for my graduation ceremony on March 24, next month exactly. While I think about it, and do re-branding myself (a friend told me I need to do this), I will try to start writing again.

Until next time, I hope.

Love,

SEVONE and Graduation Party Part 2

Oh-kay. Have you read the first part of this story? You better read that first than read this one. Hehe.

Okay. In the last post, i told you about SEVONE Cup, right? Then now, i want to tell you about my Graduation Party.

Well, firstly, my Graduation Party would be held at Unsada. Since Unsada is unworthy for Rp 250.000/each we want moved our Graduation Party ke gedung yang lebih worthy. There're sooo many options. But at the end, our Graduation Party was held at Gedung Pewayangan TMII.

Okay. I always want my Graduation Party to be special. So i think about, "mau diapain rambut gue buat wisudaan ya? masa cuma biasa aja?". Then, my mom suggest me to curly my hair and untuk itu gue butuh salon. Oke, nyalon doangan mah gue ayo!

But then, on H-1 my mom said to me "Kamu nanti bangun jam 1/2 4 lho ya. biar ga kesiangan. temen-temen kamu semua itu soalnya. nanti telat!"

WHAT! Gue mesti bangun jam segitu? Huah. Gue mengiyakan aja lah daripada daripada kan..
Akhirnya, pagi-pagi dengan mata masih merem melek gue ke salon. Gue adalah orang yang pertama dateng. Masih pada belom bangun juga itu mbak-mbak salonnya.

Yasudh laah. Akhirnya, gue dilayani juga (jiaaah). Gue dimake up dulu. Dan ALIS gue di rapiin. Sebenernya gue gamau, tapi nyokap gue nyuruh. yaudah.

(kira-kira 2 jam-an lah gue di make up dan di keriting kecil)

Setelah itu, gue pulang dengan menutupi muka gue. Malu. Untung masih pagi. Sampe rumah, gue makan, ganti baju trus siap-siapin apa yang mau gue bawa. Trus, gue foto sama bokap karena yang ke wisuda itu nyokap. Abis itu, gue pergi deeh.

Nah, sebenernya yang gue seneng dari acara ini cuma karena gue bisa ketemu sama temen-temen gue lagi. Kapan lagi coba? Dan kita di sana (terutama anak kelas gue) bukannya ngikutin prosesi dengan baik malah foto-foto trus ribut sendiri. Haha.

Oke, ini foto-foto kami. haha. Narsis banget. Tapi seneng.

Ini pas di depan, belom masuk hall


Ini semua kerjaannya Wally. Ga beres emang itu anak. (Wally, yang mukanya close up di foto terakhir lho)

Ini sebelum baris untuk foto sekelas

Ini foto sekelas. XII IPS 2

with my besties after foto kelas

That's it. Tiringly AWESOME day. Why i said that day is tiring day? Because after that, i went to Japan Embassy to take my form for Monbusho Scholarship (read another post before this). That was tired. But, i have fun with my besties after all. Haha. Cant forget this and that. I wish they'll get what they want. For exp. PTN. Good luck guys. Will miss you A LOT!

SEVONE and Graduation Party Part 1

It's a bit late, i know.

Okay, firstly i want to posted this thing at the day when SEVONE Cup was held. But then, my father always use the laptop and i just can open Twitter, Plurk. So i just wait.

Then, the graduate party was coming. It held on June 23rd. I took many picture but i really get busy with those scholarship things. So, im not posting anything.

Then today, i just feel little boring so i remember about those picture and i think, i want share with you all. And again, im sorry for my poor grammar. As long as you can understand what my point, i think its okay.

First thing first.

SEVONE Cup, honestly is the Biggest Event yang mau diadain sama OSIS angkatan gue. But, unfortunately, our Headmistress (Bu KD, sebelum Pak HS) didnt allowed the proposal. So, it's always pending, pending, until our time is over. Jadi, proposalnya diterusin ke angkatan di bawah gue. It's really sad.

It held on June 21st -25th. There're bazaar too and i have a stand there. Jadi setiap hari selama SEVONE Cup berlangsung, gue dateng buat jagain stand dan nonton sekalian. Tapi, karena pas hari pertama stand gue ada di belakang, jadi gue ga bisa dapet foto pembukaannya. Tapi hari kedua sampe terakhir stand gue pindah ke depan jadi gue bisa nonton. But i just took pictures when 71's team play ya. And few performance from dance, tatra, cheers.

Here the photos of the event:

Sebelum pertandingan

Terjadinya gol-gol oleh tim Sapta Eka

Tim basket 71 pd quarter ke-3 menang 23-10

Fernand Hutabarat's ball jugling


futsal artis vs futsal 71 (2-3)

All Star 71 (Saman, Chelsea, Salzeus)

Yah, kira-kita begitulah recapnya. Why i just add 1 of many pictures from salzeus (dance)? Honestly, guys, they not really good at that time. I think that because their new member. Maybe they need more practice.

And that's SEVONE Cup. How about my Graduation Party? I think, i will post it later. On the next post. I promise. haha. See ya.
