The Graduation Tickets

my graduation tickets

The tickets arrived this afternoon. Soon, I was emotionally sad... I got four guests tickets, exactly the number of tickets I wanted for my family to come; my parents, my little sister and my step-dad. But... there are too many for me now. So I invited Viona and a friend from church to come. It is sad... but life goes on.

Lord, help me...
To face and handle the disappointment.
You know I cried so many times quietly to You...
Hoping that the pain and the jealousy go away.


Those tears are tears of thankfulness and disappointments.
Thankful that I am at this point now.
Disappointment because... You know why.


I am moving on, Lord, to look in front of me.
I know joys and happiness await...
At home, where my heart belongs.
At the warmth of my family that nowhere else compares.


Strengthen me, Lord.

    alo Sher, lama tak jumpe..., baek2 aja kan??, aku juga fine. Aku bisa merasakan kesedihanmu, pas wisuda tdk dihadiri ortu/ keluarga but kmu gak usah sedih kmu msh punya temen2 diblogger yg pasti slalu ngasih dukungan moril buatmu, maju trs pantang mundur, kmu pasti bisa, banyak berdoa pasti Tuhan akan menolongmu.

    "GOD Bless U".....

    Sher..
    Aku bisa ikut ngerasain sih gimana sepinya pas ada moment penting, ga dihadiri keluarga..
    Tapi karena wisuda adalah kabar bahagia.. jangan sedih. Harus bahagia juga ya.. Ini kan hanya masalah waktu.. bentar lagi juga bisa bermanja2 lagi sama keluarga? Ok...
    Selamat ya..

T uesday, 29th August 2006 has became a special day for both Lan and I. Why? Well... let me tell you the story. Around five in the afternoon, Lan rang me telling me not to cook, because he will treat me for dinner. So I just waited with no thought of what will happen afterward. In the middle of me watching Marrying a Mafia , my phone rang again. It was Lan, saying that he is outside the entrance door of the hall I live. It was about six o'clock. I quickly paused the movie, grabbed my keys and ran to open the door for him. When I met him at the door, he was formally clothed and holding a bouquet of roses (and a plastic bag). I was surprised... for him to buy me a bouquet of roses in United Kingdom was the first time, I don't ask for it, because I know flowers are quite expensive here. Suspicion came to me for awhile along with the question 'what is he up to this time?!' . But I quickly brushed it off thinking that maybe he was just being nice since we only have several d...

A loha!!! I am back from busy days... I miss my blogging world so much hehehe... probably missed a lot of stories as well from you guys. Oh well... now that the exams are over , I can have a little bit relaxation for myself. For the last several weeks, I and my feelings have been up and down... There are times I am sad, stressed out, happy, leaping in joy, oh... it is a mixture of feelings. Well, I don't really want to discuss any of them in particular, but this post is just to tell you that I am back. Now, I have so much blogwalking to do! So wait for me in your blog, okay!! God bless you all! And have a nice week ahead! Your journey had ended that day... Saturday, 20th May 2006 at approx. 09.00 a.m. WIB. Have a nice rest, Grandpa... Sorry, I did not have the chance to say 'I love you' for the last time. Sorry, I cannot be there to say 'goodbye'. Sorry, for making you cry when we had our conversation on the phone between the million miles. Sorry... and sorry... for...

A khirnya ludes sudah kertas lipat yang dikirim mamiku dalam jangka waktu kurang dari seminggu! Sayangnya jumlahnya kurang, jadinya botolku hanya terisi separuh. *Ada yang mau nyumbang ngirim? Karena aku tahu di sini tidak ada yang jual kertas lipat yang seperti itu, adanya yang bujur sangkar saja* So, here is the picture. Gak terlalu jelas sih, tapi ya kanggo lah ya hehe... Tak terasa sudah 2/3 dari liburanku terlewati, tugas belum semuanya tuntas, tapi mata terasa penat karena harus membaca banyak jurnal dan buku tebal untuk mencari data... *sob* Jadi minggu depan, bakal full time doing homework deh! Tadi *jumat* aku bereksperimen di dapur. Bikin brownies... belum aku coba sih rasanya bagaimana kue yang baru keluar dari oven itu, tapi waktu mengaduk adonan, rasanya sudah pas. Aku bikin kue dalam rangka ultah si Lan tanggal 13 kemarin. Kebetulan dia sudah kembali dari Cambridge, jadi besok aku akan berkunjung ke tempatnya dengan membawa kue brownies dan hadiah ulang tahunnya . Semog...
