Miserable

Yeah, I feel so miserable these days. Don't know why. Liar. I totally understand why I feel this way. Really, this thesis is now feels like killing me. And time, flies soooo soooo fast. I am just tired to chase it. Could you just stop a while and wait for me to think more clearly?

I pray to God to give ease in doing this. I feel like I'm a foolish girl, stupidly rushing myself into these chaotic circumstance while my brain works so slow.... I wish I could be clever in a blink. I know it's impossible, but I really wish. I just want to finish. No, I want to finish with satisfaction. God, please lead me... Amin.

On the other side, I felt super happy today because of my fiancee finally get his dream job. I'm so proud of him, and really happy that we draw the path together. Maybe it sounds greedy, I asks a lot from God to give me a lot of miracles. Thank God, I love you more than anyting. I just try to be a better person, but I'm just a human with much much limitations, only You that do not have limitation. I just pray to you. Thank you Allah for keeping me alive, and giving me this wonderful life, though it's tough.

Yeah, finally I ended up writing a post instead of thesis. Tomorrow I have to finish this mess!!!

For dreams, for the future, for life!!!

(I feel relieve a bit after writing this, osh! Semangat lagi!)

My Graduation Day

Hay friends!!!

Finally, as written in the title, I officially graduated from Gadjah Mada University in February 23rd 2011. I’m so happy, finally I made it, after studied for 4 years and almost a year struggling on the final project. And now I got 2 characters added after my name:

Atrida Hadianti, S.T.



I am now really an engineer!

I believe that this is not the end of my life journey, but a beginning of the new journey. The real hardship would come after this, and I (should) get ready to face it all. I must fight with all competencies I got, no more depending on friends or even family. I had so many plans spinning on my mind and I have to arrange the ideas into the real great plan of my future life. Step by step, little by little, I want to fulfill my big dreams to be come true :)

将来 の ため に, 生活 の ため に!!!

For the future, FOR LIFE!!!

The graduation rituals:

Farewell Ceremony in Department of Architecture and Planning,
Faculty of Engineering, UGM

Me, between Prof. Bambang Hari Wibisono and Prof. Sudaryono, they're like father to me. I really proud to be their pupil, they're inspiring me much, and someday I want to like them (or even greater) to make them proud :)

Me between my "fathers", can you guess who's my real father? Hehe, in the left side is the head of the department, Mr. Yoyok, and in the right is my father. They really looks alike, aren't they?

Me, and 2 of my closest classmates, Munir and Ayiek.
I wish they graduate so soon in May!

Me and my parents in house, I really glad I could make them proud

With my sister, she's the one I love the most, and her great support helped me much to reach this stage *kisses for her*

Graduation Ceremony in Grha Sabha Pramana, UGM

With friends before the ceremony started

This is actually me and my bestfriend graduation. I'm happy I could graduate together with him. Finally, we made it!

With Prof. Bambang Hari Wibisono, my final project lecturer. He helps me a lot with his patience and motivations. On the same day, his daughter is also graduated from Architecture and got cum laude. Congratulation!!!

With 2 of my kouhai/juniors, Momo (left) and Rabian (right)

With my family in Tugu Teknik, Faculty of Engineering, UGM

With Pak Gatot, my family driver assistant, he helps a lot to drive me everywhere...

My family: Mama, Me, Sister and Papa

Me and my sister

Surprisingly, my family gave me this as a present for my graduation! Can you believe that this is the first regional planning design I've made when I was in elementary school? And now I become an urban planner. Amazing, right? I was so speechless when I receive this. This is too precious!

I am an Engineer!!!

Yeah, finally I passed the final presentation of my final project yesterday!

Though it still tons of revisions have to be done so soon (for about 2 weeks), I still on fire to finish it and get my title, ST (Sarjana Teknik/engineer). Actually I’m not going to become an engineer, as you know, I study on urban planning field, which is not handling any ENGINE. Hehehe. But I’m still proud to say that I’m an engineer. So, maybe in the middle of February, my name become a bit changed, with 2 characters added. Atrida Hadianti, ST

(Here's me, on the final project site, Selokan Mataram)

Some asked me, "What will you do next?"

So much plans rushing into my head, I don’t know what I should do first, but I try to think and arrange the ideas. First, I must finish the revision, it’s a must. Second, I have to take a therapy of my disease, 4 or 5 days in hospital, then I (maybe) cured. And third, I want to fulfill my dream to become a travel writer. I don’t know where I should start to become a writer, but this is my passion, and I think I have to make it true, whatever it takes. Maybe I would create one more blog, just for posts related to travelling. But still, I will write here first :)

Greater plan, honestly, I don’t feel I will directly drowning into job seeking world, I know, we have to make money for living, but I will not forcing myself. I said to my parent, how if I plan to take graduate school overseas? And they really support it. So, maybe in early 2011, I will be busy for graduate scholarship hunting. Wish me luck!

But how I make money to afford the traveling plan?

Hem… I don’t know exactly, but I will try to apply some of those formal jobs or projects. But still, I’m not forcing myself. I’m quite idealist to choose a job. I won’t take the job that I’m not competent (or enjoy) in it, such as banking fields. Really, I want to work in design fields. I now start looking for it, the job I will fitted in.

Some friends are getting married or planning to get married, here, include my first boyfriend (since I was junior high until early college) who will get married in January 1st, 2011. What a surpriseeee!!! Honestly, I’m a bit sad of this, but what can I do for more? I can only pray the best for him and his new-built family. May you have a very good life after this, become a good doctor, good husband and good father. I’m glad you still remember me and be friend with me.

What about me?

I wasn’t thinking much about love life for this late 3 months. After the painful separation with Mr. It’s Complicated, I become more more careful about love matters. Be friend is okay, but for more, it will be a quite long consideration. That’s not mean I close myself, but I don’t want to get hurt like that again. Somehow, I think people who firstly love me could become easily lose feeling of me after knowing how the real I am. So, everyone’s welcome to know me more, but to loving me, make sure of it first!! And prove it to me (is it a challenge? Hahahah!!)


I actually already plan to get married. But I still don’t know who will I married to and when the exact time. Maybe after I finish the graduate school, or maybe after I get a stable job. Deep inside my heart, I want to get married at my age 25 with someone  I really loved. Wish it can come true….

Yeah, this is me now, standing on the new stage, ready for the new world.
Here I come, world!!!

PS: thank you so much, friends, for support and pray… I know it’s not only about me, but I’ve supported by you all!

Countdown

GOOD NEWS!!!

(Me, in campus library a year ago)

Yeah, finally, after almost a year I work on this (thrilling and frustrating) final project, I got a green lamp to final presentation (or we called it ‘ujian pendadaran’). YUHUUU!!! And you know when it would be held? In the last week of this year! W-O-W.

I’m so excited and also scared facing the presentation. A lot of works have to be done, the text draft, maps, and ppt presentation. I must prepare the best for it!

Also, I ask you all to pray for me, may Allah give me success (and good point ;D hehehe).

YOSH! Let’s face and finish this mess!

(me, after pre-final presentation)

PS: for my bestfriend, come on boy, let’s finish it together, let’s shine together, I always support you and pray for you the best…:) you’re my motivation!

Tough Life Lately

Hay, how are you, people? Always always wishing you are all okay :)

Aku sendiri sedang sangat tidak oke akhir-akhir ini. Banyak hal yang membuat hari-hariku terasa berat. Yahh…, selain kepulangan orangtuaku dari haji (jelas seneng, dapet banyak oleh-oleh dan doa, hehehe).

First, since the final project still walking slowly on progress, I am being frustrated by it, like a nightmare on sunny day! Deep inside, there is a very strong desire to finish it, but when I face this electronic stuff called notebook laptop, I feel like suddenly I lost all ideas that came up flying inside my mind. Hh… I tried so hard to gather my mood to finish them so soon. I plan to have the presentation in December. I HAVE TO MAKE IT, IT’S A MUST!

It feels really not good when you want to finish some tasks but, in fact, you don’t even get the mood to do that. And it happens to my TA (tugas akhir/final project assignment). Padahal, apa susahnya sih nulis revisian yang udah jelas-jelas dikasih pengarahannya sama dosen? (asking myself) Jadi teringat juga SMSan sama adiknya sahabatku, kata dosennya, “Sebenarnya TA-mu ini mudah, asal kamu mau berpikir sederhana,” begitu kira-kira. Huff… (menghela napas panjang). Berasa déjà vu, dulu dosenku sendiri juga pernah bilang begitu, yang lebih jleb-nya lagi, beliau bilang, “Lha kamu itu hal yang gampang dipikir ribet sih,”. Dhezz, sepertinya aku mulai kembali ke titik awal lagi, waktu aku mati ide lagi, mau menyerah lagi. Rasanya setelah pra-pendadaran itu kok malah semangatku mengendur, bukannya makin semangat. I deeply going down to my lowest spirit…

Dan akhirnya aku bener-bener menyerah. Dengan mengorbankan segala gengsi dan harga diri (halah), aku mengirim SMS ke dosen pembimbingku, “Pak, kapan Bapak ada waktu untuk konsultasi? Saya kesulitan untuk menyelesaikan revisi TA saya,” SENT. Untungnya si Bapak berbaik hati, atau mungkin kasian baca SMSku yang melas itu, langsung dibales (tumben-tumbennya lho!), “Oke, besuk pagi jam 8 ya,” huff (menghela napas lagi) kali ini aku ngadep dosen dengan tidak membawa kemajuan apa-apa, ya sudah lah, yang penting ada niatan yang baik untuk segera menyelesaikan benang kusut ini.

Honestly, aku pengen banget cepet selesai, banyak hal yang kuagendakan akan kulakukan setelah semua kekisruhan ini kelar. Bukan formal job, bukan proyek dosen, bukan proyek temen juga, but my personal projects and plan, salah duanya adalah jalan-jalan dan kuliah S2 di ITB. Hahaha… Semangat ya, kucing pink… makanya jangan males-malesan terus, walaupun udara emang enak buat dipake tidur! Wake up, girl! Oke, janjiannya tanggal 13 ini kami mau bertemu lagi, kemarin sudah liburan seminggu buat menjemput papa-mama dan menghabiskan waktu dengan mereka, sekarang ayo mulai lagi,

set the fire!!!

(my room corner, messy and full of unnecessary stuffs)

Tiga minggu kemarin, bener-bener nggak ngerti deh aku ngapain aja. Yang jelas, aku menjadi full-time housesister, yes, kakak rumah tangga! Sendiri bersama 3 ekor adik (satu adikku sendiri, 2 sepupu) yang semuanya sedang ditinggal ortunya pergi. Praktis aku sebagai kakak tertua yang mengurus segala kebutuhan rumah tangga, mulai dari kebersihan rumah, masak, sampai ngawasin jam pulang adik-adikku. Tapi kalo soal yang masak sih… aku emang suka, jadi ya nggak jadi beban juga, wong seneng. Apalagi aku akhirnya bisa juga masak rawon (walaupun pake bumbu jadi ditambah tanaman-tanaman lain seperti sereh, bawang merah, daun jeruk, daun salam dan laos). Juga bisa bikin kolak labu sendiri tanpa petunjuk mama, dan kata temenku sih enak (nggak tau deh dia bilangnya beneran atau buat menghibur, yang jelas, there was no one poisoned by my cooking  :D). Yah, aku pikir nggak jelek juga jadi kakak rumah tangga, tapi lama-lama aku bisa gemuk juga kalo kaya gini terus. Hahahhaha!!!

Salah satu kegiatan yang (sebenernya) asik tapi kata adikku bikin aku keranjingan dan males ngapa-ngapain adalah… merajut! Yes, can you believe that a tomboy girl like me loves knitting? I bet you couldn’t believe it! Hahaha… Yup, rasanya kaya kesetanan aja kalau udah ngerajut. Oke oke, biar kuluruskan dulu, aku merajut pake metode hakken ya, bukan breien (simbah-simbah banget kalo ini, dan aku juga belum bisa). Hihihi… lumayan juga sekarang sudah bisa bikin bentuk-bentuk yang bisa dipake (bros, kalung, tatakan gelas) walaupun bentuknya masih berantakan /gg

“How’s your love life, Tid?” my friend ask me in her PM.

Yes, I have just found out that some friends are curious about my love life. Entahlah, padahal akhir-akhir ini aku menjalaninya biasa saja. Nothing special about my love life. Beberapa orang sampai mengira aku kapok jatuh cinta karena beberapa kali endingnya nggak bahagia. Anda salah, saudara-saudara! Aku hanya memberi waktu untuk diriku sendiri berproses pelan-pelan. Dan lagi, aku masih bisa jatuh cinta. And I already in love. But certain circumstances do not allowed me to explicitly exposing who’s Mr.Crush is, I’ll tell you later. Kali ini, aku lebih ingin memberi cinta buat dia, walaupun aku tau itu akan sangat sulit, karena aku sendiri seringkali nggak bisa mengendalikan diri untuk nggak berekspektasi macam-macam sama dia, tapi mau gimana lagi, kadang perasaan susah diatur, setan kecil itu selalu muncul sekalipun aku sedang jatuh cinta. Dan ternyata di semua kisah cintaku, kangen adalah hal yang paling menyiksa, kadang pengen banget ketemu, tapi nggak bisa, dan itu membuatku gelibak-gelibek di kasur kayak ikan ditaruh di darat. Rasanya mau bilang sama dia “Aku kangen,” tapi kok gengsi ya. Kalau kata temenku, aku seperti anak SMP aja, padahal umurku sudah 23, masih jadi mahasiswa pula.

Yes, he’s really special for me. I try to do the best for him. Persoalan dia bakal menyambut perasaanku ini atau nggak, mungkin hanya waktu dan Allah yang bisa menjawab. I really love this man, but the fate is Yours, I just follow what my heart says… to love someone, and someday be loved in return. Wish me luck in this journey, friends!

"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"

Good night everyone!

My Eat Pray Love (A Random Story)

Konbanwa minna!! How are you all? I’m missing you, dear my loyal readers. Really, it’s been quite a long time I didn’t write any life stories of mine lately.

Shortly, within this month I’ve preparing for my final project presentation, which plan to be held by the end of this month. And I feel a bit disappointed I couldn’t reach the November graduation period :( so I should wait until February to be officially graduated. But whatever would be happen, I will finish this mess all this month and take a long loong looong vacation! Yes! Hahaha, actually, I don’t have any motivation to finish my study, but I REALLY want to traveling somewhere with my bestfriend, that becomes my motivation.

After that sorrowful (or painful?) separation, I lost all my intention to do anything, neither having fun nor finishing the final project. As I told you before, to heal the pain, I tried any method of broken heart healing, I pray a lot, hang out with friends, and do anything that can make me not to think about the past love. Some works, some didn’t works.

My dearest bestfriend helped me a lot during the hard time. I just could cry and share anything to him. He encouraged me to be braver to face life. The most important thing is I have to love myself first, then others will followed. So, what can make me love myself? I love to be loved, so I love. I love to become precious, so I treat anyone preciously. And I also made a short term goal for myself, what I really want to reach, to make my life meaningful. And it goes to my final project. I have to finish it, how hard it is. To make my parents proud, to make a trip with my bestfriend, and to make myself pleased. Then… here I am. I am now really okay, healthy and happy. Not just because of him, but I also find my true self.

Am I now moved on? Yes, and I’m sure I’m now feeling much better.

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

(That’s The Way It Is – Celine Dion)

LOVE

Enough with the English paragraphs, I am now using Indonesian language mode. Hahahaha…

Oke friends, kira-kira begitulah kehidupanku akhir-akhir ini. Masih harus berkutat dengan TA, yang mana kemarin belum bisa dapet freepass menuju pendadaran, masih banyak revisi dimana-mana, jadi nggak memungkinkan untuk ikutan wisuda bulan November, sedih juga. Tapi nggak apa-apa sih, soalnya bagiku targetnya adalah LULUS BULAN NOVEMBER ya, bukan WISUDA BULAN NOVEMBER (metode ngeles yang oke kan? *wink*). Lagipula kalau wisuda periode ini, di angkatanku bisa jadi hanya aku, lha ya repot, ntar yang nraktir seangkatan cuma aku seekor aja, nggak bisa patungan. Wah, bisa bangkrut aku (metode ngeles kedua). Excuse banget yaaaa!! Tapi yang pasti, akan kuselesaikan TA ini sebelum November dimulai. Semangat!!

Love life? Ah, sudah lama juga nggak curcol. Sebenarnya aku sudah nggak sendiri lagi. Ya sebenarnya aku nggak pernah sendiri sih. Aku menemukan hati yang sebenarnya sangat aku sayangi, tapi nggak pernah berani kuraih karena aku terlalu takut untuk kehilangan dia. Pernah kah kamu merasa begitu lucu ketika menyadari bahwa kamu menyayangi seseorang yang selama ini selalu ada di dekatmu, tapi bahkan untuk menyentuhnya pun kamu terlalu takut? Even just to call him "boyfriend" is too less, because he's so much more precious than just "boyfriend". Am I now in a relationship with him? Nope. We are more than just in a relationship. Hope this would be the best, I just can pray but the fate is in God’s hand. If we meant to be, anything would be easier for me and him.

Whenever I see your face, the world dissappears,
All in a single glance of, revealing,
You smile and I feel as though, I’ve known you for years,
How do I know to trust what I’m feeling

I believe my heart, what else can I do,
When every part of every thought leads me straight to you,
I believe my heart, there’s no other choice,
For now whenever my heart speaks, I can only hear your voice

A lifetime before we met, has faded away,
How did I live a moment without you,
You don’t have to speak at all, I know what you'd say,
And I know every secret about you

I believe my heart, it believes in you,
Its telling me that what I see is completely true,
I believe my heart, how can it be wrong,
It says that what I feel for you I will feel my whole life long

I believe my heart, it believes in you,
Its telling me that what I see is completely true,
And with all my soul I believe my heart,
The portrait that it paints of you, is a perfect work of art

(I Believe My Heart – Duncan James feat Keedie)

The sun is shinning
It's a brand new day

こんにちわ　みんな！お元気か？

I’m back from a quite long holiday called mudik Lebaran. I’m so sorry I didn’t bring any gift for you from my hometown in East Java except photos when we visited Madura Island. Hehehe…

There is so much I learnt during last Ramadhan. I know, that it wasn’t such a perfect Ramadhan for me, though. But I really thank God for teaching me many things through life :)

Oke, holiday is over now, back to Jogja, back to that boring exhausting daily routine!

Rasanya mata masih berat buat bangun pagi dan badan masih males-malesan buat digeret ke kampus. But, well… I know there’s a task I have to finish by the end of this month, jadi yaaa… mau gimana-gimana juga tetep harus absen di perpus, berkencan sama setumpuk TA temen (buat referensi) dan ketemu sama Susno. Eh, aku belum sempet ketemu Susno nih, belum maaf lahir batin udah sering menganiaya dia. Hahahaha… And… how is life recently?

I now can call it HAPPY. Really, I never thought that this kind of thing will happen to me. Bagaimanapun, sekali lagi aku patut bersyukur untuk nggak menyerah begitu saja sama kesulitan yang melandaku sebelumnya. Satu pelajaran, bahwa kesulitan dalam hidup ini nggak akan pernah habis. Bisa saja kubilang tahun 2007 was the suckest year of my life, dengan segala keribetan di dalamnya. Dan saat ini the second suckest moment in my life happened in August 2010. Tapi hikmah yang kuambil dari segala kejadian sucks itu adalah… Ya, sebenarnya cobaan-cobaan itu seperti ujian, yang mana jika kamu berhasil melewatinya maka kamu lulus untuk naik level, menjadi lebih kuat, atau lebih baik.

And how about love?

Hmm… this is my pray to God: “Dia yang menerimaku apa adanya, menyayangi aku tanpa syarat, dan mendukungku ketika aku jatuh, jodohkan aku dengan dia Ya Allah… Amin,”

Yep, I already request God that someday I would marry him…

Tapi Allah bilang sama aku, “Tapi selesaikan dulu TA-mu ya,”

SEMANGAT!

BGM continues:

"Most kind of stories save the best part for last..."

“Sorry” Seems to be the Hardest Word

Nope, I've just found out that “I miss you” was harder to say than it. But what I would write today is not about it.

Ramadhan already reach its 29th day, and I feel like to extend it more.

My life changed so suddenly lately. In a month, I have to fix some life problems I should have fixed before I met someone. But what destiny written is somewhat different with what I had planned before… All ruined.

As time passes, I learned a lot. How to handle this or to control that, tried to solve many things in one time was so tough. But still, there are stuffs I can’t manage well. Thanks to all the problems, I now understand that happiness is something to reach not to be waited.

Bulan Ramadhan kali ini sungguh special buatku. Segalanya nggak berjalan mulus, beberapa menyakitkan, dan beberapa terasa sangat sangat berat. Bingung harus melangkah kemana dan bagaimananya. Dan karena ini Ramadhan, jadi aku harus berusaha lebih banyak “merayu” Allah untuk membuatku kuat menghadapi masalah. But more I asked for strength, more problems given. Though I cried all night long, those problems wouldn’t get rid. Dan aku mulai sadar, I have to struggle to solve all one by one. Nggak perlu terburu-buru, karena setiap masalah punya timing-nya sendiri untuk terselesaikan.

Ketika cinta yang kuharapkan nggak berjalan seperti yang kuinginkan, dan aku jadi merasa sendirian, di waktu itulah orang-orang yang sayang padaku datang menawarkan dirinya, sekedar menemaniku ngobrol, jalan-jalan, curhat-curhatan, bahkan membantuku ngerjakan TA. Oh… really, I feel like I had wasted these nice people for all this time… When I fall, they encourage me, help me, and make me laugh again. I couldn’t write down their name one by one, but I want them know how grateful I am they’re exist around me. I’m so blessed having you all!

Setelah bulan ini berlalu, semoga semuanya berjalan baik kembali. “I haven’t achieved anything for this late three months,” I said to someone 5 months ago via YM chat. Tapi sekarang aku harus mencapai sesuatu, either love or academic stuffs. Eh? Love? I think I already get it now, in different form, though, but I really thankful for the love and trust I got from people around me. Academic stuffs? For now, I promise myself, and friends who helped me, I have to make it true!

And… tomorrow is my beloved sister’s birthday. Yay! Her birthday is celebrated by takbir. Plus, she already got A for her thesis. おめでとう、Chom! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, may you always healthy and happy, you know I love you much. You always become my spirit to be a better CC for you /kis.

I’m off for leaving to East Java during Lebaran days…

Selamat Idul Fitri 1431 H, Minal Aidzin wal Faidzin

For everyone, I’m so sorry for mistakes I’ve made…  may we back to fitrah again, like a blank paper. And from now on, let’s start fill the paper with many good things!

Happy holiday! Don’t forget to bring me gift from your hometown, friends!

PS: Read this also.

Needed: Energy for Passion and Patience

I feel so exhausted right now.
Oke, it’s still 10:15 in the morning while I write this post
how come I could feel this tired (=.=).
Hhh…

Tugas Akhir.

Adalah awal dari segala kekacauan. Sebuah semangat yang membuahkan konsekuensi baru bernama kesabaran.

Yayaya… akhirnya aku mengalaminya lagi. Setelah akhir tahun 2009 lalu ter-pending 6 minggu buat konsultasi, hari ini ter-pending lagi seminggu hanya untuk tanda tangan segepok proposal penelitian buat dikasihin ke kantor Bappeda Sleman, sesuai dengan persyaratan birokrasi. It means, seminggu lagi baru bisa kukasih proposalnya, perijinannya jadi (mungkin) sehari kemudian, dan baru bisa ambil data bulan Maret!!! Oh, rencana wisuda Mei-kuuu… *menangis tersedu*

Tugas akhirku yang malang. Kenapa harus aku yang mengerjaimu ya? Dan kenapa juga aku kepincut sama Selokan Mataram, yang airnya coklat, kanan-kirinya rame PKL, jalannya sempit pula. Tapi entah kenapa, warisan infrastruktur ini bener-bener bikin aku jatuh cinta sejak semester 5. Kalian tau, itu bisa dibilang warisan infrastruktur yang paling berharga yang dimiliki Yogyakarta. Secara jenius Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX merencanakan pembangunan kanal ini untuk mencegah rakyat Yogyakarta dikirim romusha. Dan konon, kalau Kali Progo dan Kali Opak “dikawinkan”, maka Yogyakarta akan makmur dan sejahtera gemah ripah loh jinawi. Wow…

Ah, ngomong apa aja aku ini? Hehe… tapi ya begitulah, seiring dengan perkembangannya, dibangun kampusku tercinta ini, Universitas Gadjah Mada, dan kampus tetangga, UNY (jaman dulunya disebut IKIP), terus ke timur dikit ada UPN dan STIE-YKPN, maka jadi ramailah kawasan Selokan Mataram ini dari Pogung sampai Seturan. Dan mendadak seekor kucing pink stress ini pun jatuh cintaaa…

Waduh, bukan bukan, kisah cintaku nggak bermula dari situ kok. Tapi aku terus tertarik aja sama kawasan ini. Aku bikin rencana ruang terbuka hijau (RTH) untuk kawasan ini buat tugas Studio Perencanaan 6, walaupun terlihat mengkhayal dan sangat utopia (yes, I wanna be an utopian planner someday), tapi cukup buat membuat teman-teman dan dosen terkesan. Tapi nilainya cuma B, hiks, 4 sks-ku melayang begitu saja. Dan akhirnya kuajukan tema dan kawasan ini untuk judul skripsiku. Yang akhirnya mengharuskan aku untuk berjalan 3-5Km setiap survey, dari total 12,77Km obyek penelitianku. Weleh. Bener-bener, mengerjakan tugas akhir nggak cuma menguras pikiran, tapi juga tenaga. Ya, beneran tenaga fisik, yang bikin aku mengucurkan keringat.

Ngob ngob soal keringat. Ternyata nggak hanya berlaku waktu survey lapangan aja. Contohnya hari ini. Untuk menemui bapak dosenku yang baik hati itu, aku harus rela jadi Spiderman, loncat dari satu gedung ke gedung lain, mana ini fakultas teknik ya,  jarak antar gedungnya jauh-jauh, apalagi gedung kampusku (JUTAP) adalah yang terpojok, mencit. Dan ruang dosenku itu ada di lantai 3, both in KPTU and in department!!! HOSH *super sweat*

Ah… back to reality, setelah makan siang nanti seharusnya aku jalan-jalan survey di part 4 wilayah survey-ku, yaitu penggalan antara Jalan Kaliurang sampai Jalan Monjali. Duh, mana hari-hari ini di Jogja panasnya ampun-ampunan, dan 3 hari ini aku kena hypoglycemic (kekurangan glukosa) parah yang menyebabkan aku nggak bisa nahan laper dan ujung jari bergetar (tremor? Ah, kayak orang tua aja, hahaha…).
But, for the sake of my final project, I’ll sacrifice anything to do it!!!

FOR THE FUTURE
将来 の ため に

FOR LIFE!!!
生活 の ため に!!!

My Last Fighting Stage

Wuaaaahh!!! Akhirnya laporan Kerja Praktek (KP) ku selesai. So much thanks for my family, close friends and class mates who always support me. And also my online buddies, both mp, fb and ym, who always keep saying ganbatte or semangat to me, you cheered me up friends!!!

Especially for my KP home mates, Rani and Dakunk, friends who helps anything for me to finish this assignment, you two turns me speechless for your BIG BIG LOT OF HELPS!!! I will never ever forget your kindness to me...

I will take the last assignment, Tugas Akhir, in early 2010.  Its topic would be about space-use characteristics in the canal-side of Selokan Mataram. Hope I can finish it in April and graduate in May. That would be a perfect birthday present for me next year.

Mohon doanya ya teman-teman!!!

Terima kasih.
Thank you.
ありがとう ございほす。

Mirai wa...still undecided!!!

Kemaren hari yang (cukup) menyenangkan buatku... seminggu ini gak ada kerjaan, gak ngapa2in... untungnya hari kamis ada kuliah (ngulang pula) hehee..

Habis kuliah...

Tau2 di pengajaran ko banyak anak2 angkatanku duduk2. Hee... whazz hppn here???

KIKI MAU PRA-PENDADARAN!!!

ohooowww...sudah ada lagi yang mau lulus ternyata.. setelah kami ditinggalkan evi lulus duluan..

habis itu, ketemu sama Echa, temen dari smp (sebelumnya ketemu di layatan guru smp kami). Duduk2 di kantin, minum.

Bergulirlah pembicaraan kami dengan tema: MASA DEPAN.

aaah... lagi2... (sepertinya udah pernah kubahas di posting sebelumnya ya)

"Habis lulus mau apa tid?"

*nekopink bingung*

"Kamu sendiri mau apa, cha?" tanyaku

"Aku mau wirausaha" mantep!!

Mantep dah!!

Dia udah mempersiapkan masa depannya. Udah tau apa yang mau dia lakukan. Tapi wajar sih, dia kan cowo, yang di masa depan akan mengemban amanat menafkahi anak orang dan anaknya sendiri. hehehe...

Aku? Mau apa ya??

Selama ini pertanyaan itu selalu kujawab dengan beberapa alternatif, tanpa menguraikannya dengan detail (i'm still haven't decided what I want to do next).

Habis lulus...

Aku pengen kerja, jelas itu. Ga tau juga jadi apa. Ortu menyarankan jadi dosen, it's good, tapi pengalamanku berkata kemungkinan itu kecil bgtt, mengingat aku gak pernah terlibat atau dilibatkan dalam proyek dosen. Ahh... sebenernya aku pengen kerja di bidang tourism planning, atau nature conservation planning. Moga2 bisa deh....

atau...

Oke, 2nd alt, ambil s2, syukur2 dapet scholarship ke luar negri. Ga mesti di disiplin ilmu yang sama sih... mungkin malah pengen ambil bidang budaya atau kehutanan. hahahaha!!!

dan....

Pengen mewujudkan impian jadi traveler!!! Yap!!! Pengen, banget banget banget... Pengen kemana, nekopink? Still undecided *again*

Di atas semua, aku pengen menyelesaikan kuliahku dulu. Betul, KU LI AH !!! (yang tinggal KKN, laporan KP, dan TA)

SEMANGAT!!! GANBATTE NEKOPINK!!!

berpikir kreatif

"...Jadi gini, gimana kalo jalannya diem aja tapi guna lahanny yang jalan. Misal setiap hari jumat jam brapaa gitu Amplaz lewat depan rumahmu..."

Wakksss!!! can you imagine that???

A moving city??

Hmm.. gila deh ni ide asik bgt!!! Hihihi..,gak kebayang sebelumnya, what the... make a moving city??!!

Oke, itu baru salah satu perbincangan di siang menjelang sore tadi di ruang K3 kampusku. Mata kuliah BERPIKIR KREATIF. Sebenernya aku nggak ngambil matkul ini di KRS... karenaaa... oke, flashback ke beberapa hari lalu... karenaaa... matkul pilihan ini SUDAH PENUH!!! sial!!!

tadi sebelum masuk, nongkrong2 bareng ma temen2 di kampus. wuiiihhh.. kangen bgt ma temen2 PWK 05. udah aslinya jumlahnya dikit... skarang yang bredar juga cuma dikit. dah pada sibuk memikirkan masa depan nih. hihihi... Ganbatte minna!! kalo aku?? kapan ya?? Ganbatte juga nekopink!!!

yum, back to topic.

berpikir kreatif. bener2 mata kuliah yang membuka pikiranku bahwa dalam dunia planning itu kita bisa sebebas dan seliar arsitek dalam berkreasi. Bikin alternatif2 yang kreatif untuk menyelesaikan masalah perkotaan, bukan memindahkan masalah. Dan kreativitas itu juga harus bisa dipertanggungjawabkan ^^v

cieeehh~~

Pak didik ngajarnya santai bgt, kaya guyon2 gitu...tapi substansinya ngena semuah!! rasanya pikirn ini jadi kebuka lebaaaarrr... lapang kaya lapangan bola. hahaha!!! contoh2nya juga aneh2. salah satunya ya yang di atas tuh. yang laenn?? hmm... bentar2... aku inget2 lagi deh, cz tadi gara2 ketawa terus, jadi lupa deh.

Seneng bgt ikut kuliah ini, walopun baru sekali masuk. minggu depan mau masuk lagi ah... sapa tau bakal banyak ide2 baru yang asik2 dari kami. OSH!!

Yom, someday I will make a moving city,pak!!! hahahaha!! ^^v

BUSY WEEK

oke, habis pulang dari bandung, dan belom sempat ngepost2 cerita ke bandung gara2 internet M2 lagi lambat kaya sipuuutt (damn indonesian internet connection!!!) dan HARUSSS mengurus segala sesuatu yang bersangkut paut dengan kuliah. HOSH!!

senin bikin surat

selasa minta tanda tangan pak dar plus sms2 dosen

rabu ketemu DPA (pak bobi yang baiiiiikkk sekali memberiku nilai A untuk studio, oh... finally I got A on studio subject, 4 SKS!! aaahh... bahagianya...)

kamis *hari ini* ketemu dosen pembimbing seminar, pak BHW yang baiiikk juga (oh, senangnya aku dapet dosen baik2... moga2 pengujinya juga baik ya...), tapi sebbelumnya... ohh.. sebelumnya... oke, kuceritakan kronologi hariku hari ini ^^ yep, ready?? /GOOO!!!

pagi2 mau brangkat keilangan gantungan hp bentuk manekineko tercinta, ah, kenama sih tu gantungan. kucari2 sampe ngubek2 lemari jugga ga ketemu, akhirnya kutitip bu redi yang nyariin, cz adik dah mau telat.

sampe kampus, ketemu ma hesti di labkom, dia mau ngganti judul buat TA-nya (see, everry one now busy about TA, me?? ntar dlu lah~~), trus ke perpus jurusan ambil kartu member (tanpa kartu ini saya nggak bisa nongkrong dengan manis di perpus buat nunut nyolokin listrik buat laptopku trus ngenet dengan tenang). HORE!! dapet juga tu kartu pink.

trus sama tinz n dakunk, kami meluncur ke VREDEBURG, nonton PAMERAN DESAIN INTERIOR se-indonesia *ceritanya uplod di pik ya*

di tengah serunya menonton pameran, tiba2 ada sms masuk. dari PAK BUDI KAMULYAN (dosen infrastruktur, tipikal dosen sipil lah), "nanti ketemu saya jam 12-13 ya", gitu katanya. Sebelumnya wa sms sih,"pak, kapan ada waktu untuk ujian susulan?" gitu. oke2.. wa lirik jam, masi jam 11. masi sempet muter2 pameran n sempet sms mas EKO PRASETYO WICAKSONO (partner ujian infras, anak 2003). oke, beres lah.



jam setengah 12, dah selsai muter2in pameran, dah capek,dan SUMUK!! sebelum balik kampus kami mampir ke McD, ngadem maem es krim sundae stroberi. fyuuuhhh~~ segaarrr

trus balik kampus, langsung jalan ke jurusan seberang (jurusan arsitek-plano gedungnya seberangan ma sipil). dan di sana, harus wait partner wa yang (sepertinya) belum lulus2 ini, yang masi otw. setengah jam berlalu, dan bapak dosen datang (kayanya habis shalat), hikkss... aku memandang beliau dengan tatapan tunggu-sebentar-pak-partner-saya-belum-datang. weeewww...



oke, wa ceritakan sedikit sejarah, dimana setahun lalu bapak ini sukses menggagalkan segala harapan dan mimpi saya untuk dapet IP 3!! gara2 dengan suksesnya saya dikasi nilai D!! oh... D!!! 3 SKS!! (T_T)m *nangis darah* mengingat sebelum ujian saya belajar, dan sebelumnya lagi ikut mid-test, dan sebelum sebelumnya lagi SELALU ngerjain tugas, dan sebelum sebelum sebelumnya lagi JARANG BOLOS dan GAK PERNAH TA (TITIP ABSEN)!!! oh...rasanya sia2 sudah...

oke, back to present, akhirnya partner wa itu datang, pake kaos pula (inget kita masuk ke gedung jurusan apa bung?? ini sipil, bukan arsitek!!). akhirnya menghadaplah kami berdua. dia diceramahin, dan dapett tugas banyak. sementara seekor nekopink ini cuma dapet ujian susulan!! HOREEE!!! jangan hore dulu ding, ujiannya teori dan itung2an *ah dosen sipil selalu begituuu...*

target selanjutnya, ketemu pak deva (yang ganteng, citcuiiitt), tapi antrinya lama bo!! sampe2 aku ma dakunk ngedengerin curhatan murid bimbingannya, sambil duduk2, baca koran, minum teh *bletak!!! gak dink, cuma baca koran doank* lama lho, 1 jam ada.

ketemu pak deva, cuma 15 menit kayanya. mbahas KKN. ow, sebentar lagi wa KKN. hihihi... dulu pas masuk kebayang KKN itu  masih lamaaaaaa bgt, dan buat mahasiswa angkatan tua. eh..ko tau2 aku juga dah KKN, dan udah jadi angkatan tua juga. Hooo.. gak ah, masi muda ko /swt


jadwal selanjutnya, harusnya ketemu pak BHW jam 2, tapi diundur jam 4.

maem dulu lah... nasibakar. hahaha, remember nasibakar aneh?? hihi, yup, di situ, dan mengalami hal yang sama, PAKET MAMAT HABIS!!! hahaha HABIS pula mereka diceramahin papaku. hahahaha *devilish laugh*

habis tu, jam 4 ku nyampe lagi di kampus, nunggu pak BHW di depan ruangannya. kok kuncian?? kutunggu seperempat jam. ko ga ada tanda2 kehidupan. tau2 hp bergetar. sms dari pak BHW, saya di dekat tangga mbak. heleh, gara2 gak pake kacamata, gak keliatan kalo pak BHW ada di sekitar 10 meter dari tempatku menunggu. hosh!!

asik deh konsultasi ma beliau. dapet banyak masukan. hmm... moga2 berjalan lancar semua ujianku ya, n gak ada alangan lagi... kalo bisa lulus 2009, knapa harus 2010. semangat nekopink!!!

aaahh... besok ada kuliah umum pasca KKP anak2 2006, ikutan ah... temanya mempertahankan (atau membangun ya?) identitas kota. sounds interesting.

see u tomorrow...

run a busy week smoothly nekopink!!! ^^V

aneh juga rasanya mau nulis ini... rasanya baru beberapa bulan lalu nekopink masuk kuliah, ikut ospek, jadi anak baru... ikut klub film, putus cinta, punya pacar baru, ikut cosplay, ikut band, putus cinta lagi, punya pacar lagi (my loved one), kerja praktek... tau-tau setelah kuliat silabus, semester depan teori udah habis. Tinggal KKN ma TA doank. wew~~~

apakah nekopink nan dududz ini akan bisa melaluinya dengan baik?? bah... gak tau deh!!! doakan yah!!!

gak bisa terbayang hari-hari dimana otak ini akan dipenuhi oleh tugas akhir. huhu(T_T)m

bayangan setelah lulus mau ngapain...

ngeband lagi... *hehhehehehe... i love singing too~~*

turut serta dalam mengurangi efek global warming *mulai dari yang kecil dulu,,, seperti mengurangi pemakaian AC, walaupun itu berarti harus rela merasakan sumuk dan mengakibatkan lemes!! haha!!*

dan masih banyak lagi di dunia ini yang pengen nekopink pelajarin...

OSH!!! semangatt!!!
