new post

I know some of you have been waiting for my new post for quite a while.

Last week was the busiest week of the month. I had to do so many things since May is the month of KKG’s Anniversary. For almost a month I tried to contact companies and kindly asked and convinced them to be the sponsor of events we had. Then, I had to prepare for events’ details and prizes.

May 26 and 27 was the big days. We had 3 to 4 events a day, from championships, events for families, to kid’s events. Those two days really were our busy days. We had to be in the club from 6 am and went home at 7 or 8 pm. It was so exhausting but I can’t deny that it was fun too. On May 26, we held an event for kids called Kids Treasure Hunt and Fun Games. And I was the 2nd person to try the flying fox games. Yay!! It was great!!

Then on the 27th I joined KKg’s team and challenged our sponsor’s team from PT MAP for the “Row Your Boat” Competition. And… YUP!! KKG’s team won!! Didn’t get any prize though but we were all having so much fun rowing our boat and got wet.

Two days ago I got a call for a job interview at Lexus. The person asked me to come to their office at 8 am yesterday. I was so nervous because I wasn’t ready for it. But luckily the interview went well and I just have to wait for their decision now. I hope I could get the job since I’ve been dying to find another job with better salary this past 6 months.

After the interview I left for my office and got there 25 minutes late. I couldn’t concentrate the whole day because I had another plan last night to do something that I’ve been wanting for so long. I hadn’t done that because I thought I had to find someone who wants to do it with me and yeah … hate to say this but I was too scared to do it. But thanks to Pipi, I finally got the guts and did it. I had my navel pierced last night.

Days before, Simon and Debby said that they would certainly take me to the studio. But then they were too busy with their stuffs so I took Boris, Teddy and Iwan there. A friend of Boris owned the studio. It was so terrifying at the beginning, but then Ade, the one who did the piercing (and he’s kinda cute… teeheehee), tried to comfort me and told me to concentrate on inhaling and exhaling. I did hurt when the needle went through my skin, and once again when he put the belly button ring. But Pipi was right, the pain was definitely bearable. And when I looked at the mirror I felt all the pain was vanished. It looked great!!

Took off from the studio I headed to Simon’s to show him my new belly. Here's a picture...

What do you think?

p.s thanks to Pipi, Boris, Ade, Teddy and Iwan

graduation day

I really want to update my blog often, more often than I’ve been doing all this time. But lately I feel like my creativity’s dead and buried down in the deepest depth of my brain. I just can’t think of anything interesting to write. I’ve been trying to read all of my friends’ blog hoping that it could somehow initiate my creativity, but that just didn’t work. I ended up reading everyone’s blog and forgot that I have one. I really want to have a fun blog like any other bloggers. I’m so gonna try harder. Wish me luck guys.

Anyways, I have great news to tell. Last Saturday was my second graduation day. I got my bachelor degree, so from now on it’s gonna be Miss Joan Stephanie, SST. SST stands for Sarjana Sains Terapan, or in English we say Bachelor of Applied Science. At first I thought that my GPA wasn’t good enough. I was thinking 3.3 or 3.5. I was so happy when I saw my real GPA last Saturday. 3.83!! Aren’t I great?! Nyahahhaha!!

Too bad this time I wasn’t awarded the best graduate. I was, on the first graduation for my diploma. Not this time, but that’s okay, since I got the same GPA as this year’s best graduate, Eko. But why did they pick Eko instead of me? I know the answer. I didn’t do well on my final project, so I only got B while Eko got A for his final project. That’s fine, that’s totally fine. I’m still happy with all of my achievements. My parents should be really proud of me. I’m a good daughter. *sparkling dreamy eyes*

Okay enough of those craps. Enough of complimenting myself.

I took some pictures there, here they are…

Debby and Me at UPH

Me and Simon (P.I.M.P) Hahahaha.. Sorry Mon!

Professor Simon and the runner up for best graduate

Us posing for our group picture, shot by a professional photographer from Tarzan Studio, you can see the man. This picture took by Simon - the amateur photographer from the other angle and you can see that it wasn't my best angle... or maybe it's because I wasn't ready.

Our signature pose for every occassion.

There were only 5 graduates out of 15 from my batch attended the graduation ceremony. But we were proud of being the 5 graduates representing the first batch of Pelita Harapan Tourism Institute's Hotel Management Class.

CONGRATULATIONS to me, my friends from PHTI and all of the other graduates!


p.s I should have met my friend's sister there if I only knew that she was there too. Congratulations to you too, Nezi!
