Dear, everyone. In this post, I'm going to share my happiness that I finally finished my study in this engineering school. Alhamdulillah, I praise Allah for letting me passed all of these things successfully. And these people are the ones who always being so supportive. I'm beyond happy and grateful to have them by my side.
When I was about to enter the college, I was not so sure about everything. I never had a thought about my self in the future. But, I love math and physics. My parents ever asked me whether I was interested to go to medical school because most of the high school students would do anything to enter that favorite school. But, nope thank you. I don't like hospital and blood just freaks me out. I was 100% sure that I will never tackle those challenges. Then, my goal was to enter the engineering school. At that moment, going to Bandung was my dream, entering the first rank university in Indonesia. I fell in love with that school when the first time I went there with my Mom to visit her lecturer. Yup, my Mom studied there for her master degree. However, I really did not know what happened. But somehow, I had the thought that perhaps these four years are the time for me to enjoy the moment with my parents before going further or having another journey. The fact that I don't have any young brother/sister who will stay with my parents after my brother and I leaving the house sometimes makes me scared. So then, I chose to stay in Jogja so that I could have more time with my parents.
On these four years, sometimes I had this thought that perhaps If I chose that school, I would have more opportunities, I would have more network, I would become more independent, and so on. But then I feel relieve that I have these kind of feeling, happiness and content. I am grateful for every conversation when we had dinner time together, for every single support my family gave me during my endeavor to finish my study, and the things I would never had If I did not choose to stay. One of the most important thing is that I was there watching my Dad struggled a lot the past few months and I was there beside him during his hard time.
So, that's the story why I am here, majoring Chemical Engineering in Universitas Gadjah Mada. I am also beyond grateful that I meet so many kindhearted people. I also can meet my old friends regularly without the challenge of the distance. Eventually, I realize that this way is the better one for me. Alhamdulillah.
July 13th 2017 was the big day, the one that I thought would be so scary and I could not pass it. So many hard works behind, sleepless nights, endless grumble, and stuck moment. But yeah, I nailed it! Mission completed. Alhamdulillah, I will never ever do this without Allah, the one and only. And these are my support system who also help me to make this happen.
1. Family
2. Sule
I knew her since the very first year of my university life. I never had a plan to do my final project with my close friends because I think that it will be easier to work professionally. But then, I ended up to work with her for about 8 months and it was not bad at all. As a matter of fact, the road was not straight. I believe that each team has their own ups and downs during these process. I got stuck too many times. Thank you Sule for keeping up with me these past few months & for understand me and my working style :p
3. Marique
Let's say that I grow up with them. I met them on 2007, can't believe that it has been 10 years. We did so many things together when we were so young. Life was easy and simple. Then we graduated from junior high school and were separated in three different high school and completely 7 different major in university. However, I'm glad to know that we still stick on each other until now. Still close and getting stronger.
Shafa was with me on our senior high school, perhaps that's why I become so close with her. And thank to her, the cheerful girl, for always being here the whole time. She has became a part of my life. I tell her literally every single thing which happen in my life. My journey is complete when I can share it with her.
4. Geng Cewek Ketje + Lia
They were the core of my senior high school life, especially on the hard one, the senior year. I think that all of the tiring time became easier with their presence. We don't talk to each other everyday. But they are truly my inspiring ladies. Every time we catch up, that will be the time when I get recharge with the brand new spirit and motivation. As simple as that.

For the person in this photograph, Karina. My dear bestfriend who I started to know when we were still on high school orientation program. When I got my 17th birthday, she was the one who put the birthday greeting with my photograph and some quotes on all of the shcool's wall magazine so that everyone noticed. I remembered a quote she gave, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. She is one of the person who always believe in me and my dream. She is definitely one of the freakiest friend who always succeed to make me laugh.
Thankyou for this person, Lia. We were at the same junior high school, but we were not friends. I just knew her. But then we were at the same class on senior high school. We were not close at the beginning and I did not even know why she chose me as a partner in one of the biggest school event at that time. I never envisaged that those moment would be one of my precious moment in my life and it was with her.
5. Girls no Vacation
I never thought to have best friends when I was in university because I think that it would be so hard to find. But then I found them. They were the source of my happiness during my study there. Those moment when we went together most of the time are something that I relish to recall. With them, I can completely become my own self.
6. Cabs
I don't even know why this inner circle is active when at the first time, it's just a study group. But these three girls and these two boys perhaps would be those person who I can run to most of the time. It's good to know that you grow in a circle which can push you to be motivated, have more insight, and somehow challenge yourself to be a better person.

8. KKN BL-01
These people who finally become my family since a year ago. The ones who put new colors in my life and open new perspective from the other point of view. It is such a relief to find a group of people who always support each other. And the big point is that I can find a group where I can completely laugh on things and get a simple happiness.
9. Dekatria
These people undoubtedly become those person who helped me a lot through this process. For those people who I run to everytime I got stuck and those people who will always kindly help me to understand, thank you so much. Perhaps, in the other place, I won't find this kind of kinship. I always excited by the fact that we get through this together. We care about one and another. Hopefully, we will see each other on top! Thank you guys.
Thank you so much for my supervisor, Prof. I Made Bendiyasa, for the help, the kindness, and the patience. I could not ask for a better one.
For every single person, who asked me "Sar kapan sidang? Buruan ya". Thank you for the motivation and your implicit prayer.
For every single person, who sent me the encourage message, support, and prayer. Thanks a lot for doing that. That's a very kind of you.
For every single person, who came by and kindly gave some gifts. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I appreciated that.
I believe that life is perpetual learning. We won't stop at the particular point. Sometimes it scares me where this life is gonna take me. I get no clue. But a person, actually one of my favorite senior ever said to me, "It's ok to be scared, that makes you a real human being. Bismillah, baby steps and you'll be surprised by how Allah amaze you". I don't know but somehow, his words just mean a lot to me.
So, good luck every one! For those who have just finished one step and will struggle to pursue the other one. Let's put this belief in our heart, that Allah is always be with us. His way is the best way for us. Fighting!
