I'm no longer a high school student. YAY!
These past few days, I felt a bit homesick which never EVER happened to me before. I barely knew how bad it felt. Phew. However, exploring Indonesia songs in 8tracks indeed healed it, particularly when you found out a song you've sung a lot like "OMG SO THIS IS THE TITLE."
Anyway, at this early morning, I rummaged my old folders and discovered some witty yet memorable photos. Actually, I want to wrap those memories in several posts but I'm sure it will take centuries to describe those three years in details. This post-high school feeling is still lingering inside of me and I think, the best way to get rid of it is to write it all down here with no limits.
I was around 13 years old at the time I entered this hellish high school. This unknown hellish high school who bravely claimed itself as "unggulan". And of course, there were times I felt like I made a wrong choice. I felt like I shouldn't be here, and I should enter a more common high school where I can easily hang out. Sigh.
Then, a teacher (Pak Kamal, if you guys remember him) said that (I don't really remember the exact words but this sounds kinda similar), "right now you are all drowning in a deep sea, and there are only two choices; to swim around and survive or to keep drowning."
And right now, I realized that it was never a wrong choice. I found my new home and new family.
I realized that we all survived from this hellish deep sea with each others' endless supports. With them, this three years of imprisonment (lol) felt like it happened in a blink of eyes. With them on my back, I achieved things that I actually didn't even dare to dream about.
I dedicated this medal for not only my family but also my friends. Thank you for having my back and for supporting me when my pessimistic self had no courage to continue :")
Kecempis' representatives on their way to Gili Trawangan!
I remembered it clearly how I and Echa were late for the closing ceremony. After I arrived to the venue, they called my name in a matter of minutes and I was so surprised. It was a miracle for someone like me and it showed me that Allah makes everything possible. #mendadakreligius
A series of photos that made this syndrome even worse:
Yes, Apres (Apresiasi Seni). And this one was so special. It was our final apres and it wasn't a class performance but a whole batch performance. Doing our all-time favorite dance Heavy Rotation, Good Boy by Taeyang and GD, and the last but not least..............."PERNAH KAH KAU MERASA JENG JENG JENG JENG JENG." I had the video back then but suddenly my iPad was formatted so I lost it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember that the rehearsal took place on my birthday (December 18). I went out to Kota Kasablanka and treated Wahyu and Echa meals in Nanny's Pavillion. HEHEHEHE. #AkuSukaMakanHedon
And these one, we were watching Catatan Akhir Sekolah together before finals.
The movie made me feel like, "so that was the common high school life." Full of joy and spirit of youth.
And this one.... This was a Kesebelasan Kimia reunion.
I and Echa treat them sushi in MKG (or MOI?) after Kak Emil's wedding and it costed a lot. A lot.
Kak Wira's birthday! Yay!
Sorry for the random order, but this one. We were cheering for MHT04 as a whole batch. I didn't scream my lungs out tho. Memories I had after 3 years cheering on the bleachers:
"THAMRIN 4 *jengjengjengjengjeng* THAMRIN 4 *jengjengjengjengjeng*"
"KECEMPIS *jengjengjengjeng* KECEMPIS *jengjengjengjengjeng*"
"KIMIA DI DADAKU, FISIKA KEBANGGAANKU, KUYAKIN HARI INI PASTI MENANG!"
"TIDAK MUNGKIN *jengjengjengjeng* TIDAK MUNGKIN TIDAK MUNGKIN!!!!" <<< when the team got caught lol
And this one! TOC IV after party, held in La Piazza (cmiiw. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NORTH JAKARTA). I actually took tons of photos here, but my iPad was formatted..
I felt so happy to be involved in TOC IV. This event was not really big, and I didn't really contribute so much but we achieved our aim: to be happy :)
You won't find me in these photos....
I skipped a day because I didn't feel like going to school, but it turned out that it was a farewell to Bunda and Kak Rasmi (or Laksmi?). And I cried in my living room knowing that. At first, I didn't believe it. I never imagined we would say goodbye this fast, Bun. I missed your fried rice whenever I grumbled I was hungry. I missed talking shits about school (lol). Bunda was a very, very great mom for all of us.
And these were taken when we went to Bandung for OKTAN. OKTAN was my last competition I had and we failed to win again, Echa! HAHAH that's okay tho. I had a lot of fun skipping days from school.
These two guys ate a lot.
Sorry for missing the events Kak. Hehehe.
Last few days in school, we, zoomba, took a lot of photos.
In front of our school's mascot, BUNDERAN. A place to do whatever you want: meeting, homework, watching movies, playing cards, or....dating.
Anyway, believe it or not, these three elementary-school-look-alike girls will be college girls! UI-ITB-NUS :D
Pardon my ugly duck face. Uh oh I looked like a shit next to Dedek.
And this one was taken after UN ended.
A collab of Ewngaz and Zoomba!
While this one was taken before UN started..
Let's compare!
Courtesy to someone idk I found it on my Whatsapp folder
There are a lot more photos but I'm so hungry so let me end it here. Anyway I will post my class' drama on Youtube because I got a very stable connection here in UTown lol. See you!
Pardon my bad English guys. I'm trying to improve it as I will stay in an English-speaking country for about 4 years. Plz support me lol
