Farewell

YOu are leaving us...one by one, most of you.

Time does fly very fast before we realize it..I quoted this phrase from Mr. Kato, the head of Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, who came to our office last Friday. Perhaps that was the last time I met him too because he's leaving for Bahrain today and planning to move there in September.

Forgive me for being such a indifferent person, one who hardly gets in touch with you in Haarlem. However, when it comes to the moment like this I often recall all the memories that we had from the moment when we were just freshmen in Hogeschool InHolland.
All those struggles of adapting with a new foreign place, tears and happiness, all efforts in the last 4 years finally should be ended by the mean of graduation ceremony.
Those are more than enough to face the fact that it is hard to say the word "goodbye and take care" to all of you who are going back to Indonesia for good.


Are you back for pursuing your dream?
Are you going to be ok there? or don't you miss Holland?
Would we meet again someday and would you still remember me?


I don't know but perhaps it's true if someone says I am an egoist and a-social person with a lot of curiosities of new places and new experiences. I went to Sweden for 2 semesters and when I came back I preffered living in a totally brand new environment to Haarlem, that's why I am here in Amstelveen surviving.

When I was feeding my curiousities, unconciously, I think I have neglected my friends too much. I broke so many promises just because of my laziness travelling 1.5 hours from Amstelveen to Haarlem. Shame on me (-__-#)

I am not good in socialization neither in building a long lasting friendship, but I always remember each of you in a special way :) (I don't ask you to believe it though )
Now that the time is almost up, I just realize that I should have spent more time with you guys..to know you much more and to let you to know me a little bit more.

Well I still do not want to say goodbye...would it be better to say "see you in the future and take a good care of yourself"?

Dedicated to all colleagues from class 2006, Haarlem

Best wishes,


Lea

Ambil Cutii....Taking a break

untuk sementara waktu blog saya akan absen beberapa minggu dikarenakan yang punya blog baru pindahan dan belum ada sambungan internetnya.

this blog will be vacant for a couple of times until my internet connection is well established in my new room....

apa benar begini terjemahannya ??? ^^;

*sigh...when...when????

My graduation

Finally, my wish is granted Thank you God...Everyone has graduated last week was my turn. Yes I am a Bachelor of Business Administration now, a graduate from University InHolland Haarlem (Lea it is a hogeschool not university...uh oh whatever).

Actually if I think it over, what's the cool of having that title? It is simply hard to describe. All I know that I managed to complete my course on time hehe...You know what, I was even called as the first 5 to graduate. Although it was randomly decided I mean it was not based on academic grade, I was delighted to be called as the 4th graduate. My father was there standing with his camera smiling proudly while taking my picture. I couldn't see my mother and sister as they were sitting in the back. But I know that they were very happy for me.

I do not have a bunch of friends besides my classmates who also graduated on that day. But the presence of two great friends, Anton and Hariadi are more than enough. I thanked them for witnessing a modest ceremony of us. Simple but exciting though the hat was a little bit oversized oups...some of my friends couldn't wear it without holding it tight. Anna..if you read this post, I envy you because your graduation's hat was somewhat better. In the end all of us got our diploma, a silver InHolland pen, a hat, and a white rose. The roses were being put in a bucket filled with water until someone accidentally kicked it.... (> <) I personally think those events were the most interesting part of all in spite of the long diplomatic speeches from the docents.


And here is my song for celebration...1...2...3...

As we go on

We remember

All the times we

Had together

And as our lives change

Come whatever

We will still be

Friends forever



So if we get the big jobs

And we make the big money

When we look back now

Will our jokes still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?

I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

And this is how it feels....lallalalalaaa....



After all....I am still in Holland not back yet for good.
I have an internship to finish
and new course to start in the coming 2 months.

I wonder if my life just starts here...

Jerman kalah masih ada Prancis

Ihiks...sedih..kenapa? abis tim yang saya jagoin tidak ada yang menang. Korea Selatan yang dikibulin sama Swiss. Setiap kali sekarang disinggung soal itu, saya langsung protes, "Itu off side...gol kedua itu offside...wasitnya goblok udah tuek rabun ga mau disalahin lagi huhuhu.." Yee mentang-mentang sekarang saya mulai lebih mengerti tentang off-side *huek...cuih..cuih..

Tim kedua yang saya jagoin adalah Jerman dan akhirnya kemarin malam tim tuan rumah harus pulang setelah merelakan gawangnya dimasuki bolanya Italia dua kali. Pulang kemana??? ya kerumah masing-masing lah...namanya juga tuan rumah. Kasian juga Jerman, kirain mereka bakal berakhir seri dengan Italia...sapa sangka Del Piero yang saya kira sudah berakhir masa-masa jayanya tanpa sengaja masukin satu bolaaa (ini namanya orang ga terima kalau tim andalannya dikalahin). Makanya saya bilang juga apa....tim tuan rumah MERELAKAN gawangnya saudara-saudara...(sedang baek hati kaliii).
Jerman kalah yang nangis satu negara
Sudah kalah masih disuruh minjemin lapangan bola buat negara lain lagi...huhu
*dari kejauhan terdengar suara background, si Anton yang sedang teriak-teriak Itali...Itali...

Jangan kuatir perang masih berlangsung koq say...belum ada yang menang dan yang kalah. Selama abang-abang gundul dari negeri Napoleon masih bersinar kepalanya harapan masih ada...go Zidane...go Barthez goolll!!

Ternyata saya belum ada mood untuk blogging lagi...

When I am not in the mood of blogging

When I am not in the mood of blogging.....
