Happy Ending OPMG 2008 : Totally Geophysicist...

Okay, after break for a quite long time, it's time to talk about STMJ as known as OPMG 2008. OPMG (Orientasi Pengenalan Medan Geofisika) is an introduction of all about Geophysics which is compulsory for new students every year. OPMG has 4 days, consists of 2 days for class session and 2 days for field session. This year, the field session was held in Kali Tengah, Cangkringan where we can do tracking, out bond, and camp for a night. OPMG is not only an orientation for new students but also become a kind of event which can tighten relationship between the junior and senior students as well as the graduates and some lectures of Geophysics.

As a part of this commitee, I was really tired but excited in organizing OPMG. And now I feel very happy because this tiring event has just been finished. Yeah, after we did a very long time process with many meetings, surveys, under pressure working which all spent a lot of our time, think, and energy just for OPMG 2008. As a result, it was successful and many people were quite satisfied with this event although there were still many lacks. At least we (the class of 2007) can prove that we are not like what some people think, but we actually have a good team work and strong unity in our class... (don't we?)

Mitoni

What is it? Yeah, mostly Javanese know what the meaning of mitoni is. It is a Java tradition which is kind of celebration/ceremony or something like that to thank God for 7 months pregnancy of a woman. This tradition has been done in my family yesterday. My sister in law has been being pregnant for 7 months and the family planned to thank God and share happiness with other people through this tradition. As a Java tradition which is full of symbols of life, mitoni has many ceremonies like sungkeman, siraman, milih ageman, dodol rujak/dawet, and etc that must be completely done which are symbols to expect something good in future, especially for the baby and parent. Ough, 2 months later I am going to be an aunt for my brother's baby. So that means I will be calles 'tante', and... do you think that I will look older because of it? I wish no... But I am actually really pleasant about it! I will enjoy taking care of the baby and have fun with him...

The Great Day Celebration

sungkeman

the grand children...

The first Lebaran day, the most important thing that must to do after sholat Ied is sungkeman. It means that we have to ask apology to our parent and grand parent. After that, we have to ask apology to each other especially to big family like brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. In my family, this tradition is always done in my grandma's house where all of my big family came to gather and celebrate Lebaran. This year, they were not complete because some of them didn't come to Jogja with some reasons. But our Lebaran was still exciting like the years before with different situation of each person, new looks, and of course with delicious food and cakes (^^). I really love to gather with my family like this memorable sweet moment...

Happy Lebaran Day 1429 H !

I am as the owner of this blog want to say Happy Lebaran Day 1429 H!
From bottom of my heart, I would like to ask an apology. So please forgive me for all my mistakes...
May Allah gives us a soul free from sins and life that full of love, peace, and happiness..

Memories

by Annabelle

Within my book of memories,
Are special thoughts of you.
And all the many nice things
You often say and do -

As I turn the pages,
And recall each single thought,
I realize the happiness
That knowing you has brought.

There are memories of the times we've shared
Both bright and sunny days.
There are memories of your kindness
And your friendly thoughtful ways.

There are memories of all those notes,
we would write back and forth,
When we would just get together,
And talk of this or that.

And when I recall these memories
As I go along life's way,
I find they grow more precious still
With every passing day.

Padmanaba 62 reunion

Some days ago, I got an invitation via comment of my friendster site that there would be a reunion of my senior high school especially for the class of sixty two (62). Definitely, I was so excited to come. It was held on Saturday, September 27, 2008. The conscripts of the Padmanaba 62 class had a reunion and breaking the fast together all at once. The reunion was simply held in hall of SMA N 3 Padmanaba Yogyakarta and was attended only by some graduates of this class (not until 100 people) so that it was not cheerful enough but still quite interesting. Yeah, I thought it was attended by them who mostly stayed in Jogja because some of the graduates have to go up stream to their each hometown (this time was close to Lebaran day). In spite of it, I was very enthusiastic and I really like to meet and chat with my friends again. Although we didn’t meet each other for a year, some of them looked little different than before but some of them still look the same. I wish the next reunion will be more exciting and more attractive.

Breaking the fast of Geophysics 2007

Monday, September 22 2008, the class of geophysics 2007 broke the fast together at my home on West Imogiri Street. Yeah, although not all of members of this class attended here (it's just 33 people), it was really fun and joyful. We even could share and laugh freely there. Thanks God for this happiness, thanks for sending great friends for me...
