mencuci dengan gembira ^o^

Alhamdulillah. Syukur beribu syukur, seminggu ini adalah official last week
saya belajar di Belanda. Two graduation ceremonies hadir sebagai bumbu
‘penyedap’ and a finish line mark, hence this graduation will stay in memori
saya, seumur hidup.

To be honest, saya dulu sudah punya cita2 untuk sekolah abroad, when I
was at my second year of SMU. Wkt itu, saya sempat ada plan for studying
in Aussy right after graduating from my SMU. But then, fate berkata lain.
Saya was given a chance to go to ITB. Yes, Information Technology course
which is jurusan paling top, paling tinggi passing grade ny, dan paling
diidamkan oleh para kawula muda (halah2).

Masuk ke ITB didn’t make my dream of studying abroad fade away. Saya tetap
giat mencari informasi about any chance to study in other countries. Bagi saya,
it’s okay if I have to spend more time in finishing my study for the sake of
belajar di luar negeri. Saya ingin pengalaman itu.

And there you go. Here I am, standing in Europe. Saya joined a program named
Existente (Excellent International Students Entering Technical Education).
Singkat cerita, program ini allows me to gain a double degrees in Sarjana which
come from ITB and one of Universitas di Belanda. Dan sekarang, status saya
adalah separuh finished. My name is "Ing. Ryan Sosiawan" at this moment.

Well, let’s wrap up the story and go back to the graduation topic. Seperti
saya katakan di awal, 2 graduation ceremonies were held a couple days ago.
Acara pertama diadakan di a Dutch university where I went to, InHolland
University, on last Tuesday. Dan berikut adalah some visual records on that
day.

This is when saya menandatangani ijazah saya with Eunice (left), and
Edward (right):

Senyum kepuasan saya after receiving my diploma (kok sy rada jiji y

Yup, that’s all untuk selebrasi di InHolland. Jauh dari kemeriahan namun
berkesan.

Next up is the graduation ceremony in The Hague. Here, semua pelajar
Existente dari berbagai jurusan di beberapa kota di Belanda berkumpul
to receive a greeting from para petinggi/ panitia Existente program and
to take a picture together in Toga suit.

Berikut adalah beberapa gambar of men and women in Toga

Once again, terima kasih dan puji syukur kepada Allah SWT. Atas karunia-
Nya, saya dapat meraih salah satu mimpi saya. Terima kasih juga untuk
keluarga dan teman-teman who always stay behind me and support me
through tough times.

Tetapi misi saya belum totally acomplished. Saya harus kembali (ini neh,
mulai males d denger kata2 ‘balik’) ke ITB untuk meneruskan studi saya yg
tertunda (ap lagi ditambah kata2 ’studi’, makin mualesh mikirinny..).
"I’ll keep doing my best, then.", that’s what I gotta say.

P. S.:
More photos of Me (who cares) and the others can be viewed here.
And also, thanks to Febri untuk fotonya ^ ^
