Project 365

So many things happened in one day!

I went to attend my friend’s graduation ceremony. Too bad I was late, I didn’t get to see him on stage. But I got to meet him afterwards for some drinks and snacks.

Surprisingly, after the ceremony, I met one of my lecturers, Hajo who used to teach a course I took back in 2008. I actually talked to him ONCE back in those days and from that conversation, I learned that his mother was an Indonesian. It was him who asked me where I was from and we got to talk for few minutes. So that was 2 years ago. When I bumped to him after the graduation ceremony, he smiled at me and actually talked to me again!!! I was really surprised that he did that! I thought he forgotten about me already. He asked me whether I was graduated already, who my supervisor was (and he told me that my supervisor’s office was just few rooms from his), and he said that he’s going to Indonesia next  year! That short conversation REALLY made my day. He’s such a friendly and smiling person. He got that Asian friendliness, no doubt!! Hahaha.

After the graduation ceremony, I quickly went to the Christmas reception that was held by the university. I went there to take a Christmas present and eat some snacks LOL. I was so happy that the university gave us a voucher for a TU hoodie sweater!!! Yay! I love all the free stuff that I got during Christmas and New Year hahaha.

After that, I went to the Muziekgebouw Frits Philips to get my free ticket for the New Year Orchestra Concert on 2 January 2011. I got there 30 minutes before the ticket counter opened and the queue was SOOOO LONG. I was so glad I actually got 2 tickets. I’m going to ask a friend to come with me ;).

Despite of assignments and deadlines… despite of emotional breakdown… despite of everything… I’m grateful for today. Alhamdulillah.
