The last time I wrote an entry was 8 eight months and 3 days ago. Should I erase this blog? I haven't updated this for so long and I'm so lazy to write something (and yet I'm writing now)
A lot of things have happened since the last entry. I'm now different. Hopefully in a good way. But the old me is still there
Some of my wishes are still the same. But I have new ones too
Ha, maybe I should just delete this blog
Or should I just let it be? Don't bother?

the long-awaited day: 13.02.12
after all those years of struggling and working like crazy, the time has come. it was the day for me and others to graduate. you have no idea how long i've waited for that event
so since our convocation only started at 5pm, i accompanied my mum to drop my dad off to some place in Puchong. it was still around 8am, so there's traffic everywhere but we managed to get to Chow Kit before 9am (the GPS took us to the Klang Lama road). after my mum's finished with her shopping, we went back home. i promised my friends to be there before 2.30pm because we thought that there would be people lining up to get their studio pictures taken. but in the end, i just managed to get the bus at 2.30pm and to make it even worse, i got blisters from the wedges i wore on that day >_<
anyway painfully, i made my way to the nearest toilet after i reached Pyramid to put the band-aids over the blisters and loosen up the wedges. it was much better after that (lesson learned: never run with the wedges) so i made my way to the Sunway Lagoon Resort since that's where the convocation was held. there's already a lot of people but none of them was my friends, so i went to the toilet to change. it took me quite awhile to look for one because there's no indication
a few minutes later, i found my friend and together we went upstairs to get our graduation robes and mortarboard. it turned out that we wouldn't get the 'hood' because something came up. i don't exactly know what happened, so what we wore was quite plain: a black robe and a black mortarboard like Harry Potter. anyway we took the studio pictures. and since it was divided by schools, the IT 'studio' was very empty compared to the Engineering one
it was 4.30pm already, and we had to get inside the room for the rehearsal was going to start. my mum and sister still hadn't come yet so i had to give their tickets to the people in charge outside so they could come in later on. what i first thought about rehearsal was that we students would come up the stage; turned out that we just had to sit in our assigned seats and watch the people reenact it on the stage
finally the ceremony started with the important people going up the stage; like the Chancellor, the heads of the schools, a guest and others. we had to stand up until the last person took the seat. some speeches were made and finally it was the students' turn to get their certificates indicating that we finished our studies in the university
unfortunately the head of the school of IT got my name wrong (Gula instead of Galuh), so yeah. but who cares right? i got my certificate already. eheh,,
after the ceremony was over, we got out of the hall to meet some other people, took some pictures, had some food, and took more pictures. my mum, sister and i went back home at around 8.30pm

holiday holiday~
my passport, after 2 months and 3 weeks or so passed, was finally out on the day i had to fly to Indonesia (18th of January). i don't want to tell the story because it's just ... anyway long story short, i cried a lot on the day before i flew because the passport wasn't even out after i waited for literally hours in uni doing nothing but internet (it got boring, trust me). so on the 18th, i had to get up early to get my passport and thank God i could go back home with my sister
we took KLM so we got to Jakarta at around 6.30pm. we had to take the travel to go to Bandung so we bought the tickets and fortunately we're going soon. unfortunately though traffic was everywhere cos it's time when people went back from the office and it was raining too. we just reached Bandung at 11.30pm when it's actually just a 3hr car ride
i can't remember what we did the next day, but we went to eat some Indonesian food of course. we went here and there; bought some kebaya because a friend of the family was getting married. we went to Jakarta again on the 21st(?) by travel and straight went to Thamrin City to buy more kebaya. after going round and round the place, we got some and went to another great aunt's house to spend the night. the marriage was held on the next day in a hotel so it's really nice. on that day itself we went back to Bandung because my mum was going back to KL on Monday late afternoon
being in Bandung with grandma and great aunt was not exactly pleasant. food was great of course because i haven't had grandma's cooking in months. it's just that i had to be a driver whenever they had some business to do outside
one day sis and i went to Trans Studio which is an indoor themepark in a mall. it was amazing! it's not that expensive compared to the themeparks in KL so it was totally worth it. there are 20 rides we can take but we only took 8 because the others were either for kids or we had to wait for the time to be opened. amazingly we got home at around 5pm! and we even had the time to get some lunch and went around the mall
we had to go to Jakarta again on the 28th because i was meeting my friends on the 29th. on that day itself we ate a lot. or actually me and sis ate a lot. i don't know how many times i ate that day.. but it's all good; we go to Indonesia to eat! ahha
something weird happened on the 28th evening. so we slept on my great aunt's house until we had to go to KL on the 2nd. the room where we slept in was quite big but there's a lot of things inside, including 2 mirrors. so around 2am, i woke up and - i don't know if it was my imagination or it was real - saw a face. it's more like a shadow cos it's black. but it reminded me of my great uncle - it was hs house after all. so yeah i saw him and i couldn't sleep for a while. turned out that there's a 80% chance that if you wake up at 2-3am, someone is staring at you >_<
on the 30th my sis, my friend and i went to Central Park by busway. it was really far so i even got the time to sleep on the bus. haha,, we walked around the mall for a while and got back at around late afternoon. we got stuck in traffic for around 3 hours cos it just rained and because it's the time for people to go back home from the office
on the 2nd we had to go back to KL. there was a delay but it wasn't that long so that's okay. the plane was very empty but my sis and i got separate seats for some weird reason -_- apparently the weather was acting up so it felt like riding a roller coaster. but we only got a safety belt, whereas on roller coasters we have more secure belts. or whatever it's really called. anyway it happened twice but we landed safely
the next day i went out with 2 school friends and walked around Pavilion. we watched a movie called War Horse and ate some ice cream. walked around some more and got back home at maybe 9.30pm
on the 5th my primary school friend came to visit so we went out to hang. at first i picked her and her friend up in KL tower before going to the Bukit Bintang area to take their luggage. we went to Masjid Negara to do our prayers before going to Batu Caves. it wasn't as far as i have imagined but we still got there at like 6.30pm. Thaipusam is coming soon so there's a lot of people there. i parked the car really far away from the entrance so we had to walk a bit before climbing up the some-hundred-step stairs. apparently there's a lot of temples even inside the cave so it was amazing for me to see - it was my first time being there after all. we spent some time there - around an hour or so - taking some pictures, seeing what people had to do up there, etc. there's a market at the bottom so we went around and my friends bought some stuff. after finishing everything, we went back to the car feeling glad because 1) the car was still there - as always i imagined the car was towed or someone crashed into it, 2) of air-cond! we had to go meet my friend's friend because that's where they were staying for the night. took us some time to meet but we eventually agreed to meet at KFC because we hadn't had dinner yet. i got home at 11-something pm
oh! i just remember... i am finally eligible to graduate! so i'm going to have my convocation on the 13th of March!!!
