We're officially graduated from UNSW Foundation Studies

If people ask me what is the best thing about foundation studies, I'll definitely say the gift of friendship we've built together. Time goes by so fast, just like flying. This is the end of foundation year. I still remember how on January  the 25th I started my journey. I went to UNSW to leap unto the very first step of foundation. That was the first orientation day. I did not know anyone, at all. I felt nervous yet excited to meet new people from all over the world, with different background, different culture, different attitudes. I was alone with no one I knew. Everything was totally brand new for me.

And  today, 18 November 2011 is the graduation ceremony of foundation. Ten months has been passed. Exam and assignments are indeed over. I'm happy to did! Yet, it also means that we're now reaching the finish line of the course. So many memories I've got with my beloved class  PBA1-IS. We've been together for 10 months. We've shared the laughter and the tough moments, we've been struggling together for all those shit sheets hahaha, and the most important thing, we learnt to tolerate and understand each other, to keep what we've built even though the wind of conflict kept blowing among us. We indeed had some trouble and argue sometime. But really, it doesn't change any of the meaning of PBA1-IS for me.

There are 14 of us in our class. We come from different country. Haymond, Maryjane, Jane Tong, Jennifer, Loretta, Michelle, Jane Kwok, Johnson, Kelvin are from Hongkong. Shelly, Luis and Bear are from Main land of China. Soo is from Korea, and lastly me from Indonesia. It's been a pleasure to be a part of  PBA1-IS. I thank my God for each moment we had together. Especially for the girls ♥, I really wanna thank you guys for everything along the way. I might not spend much time outside the school as much as you guys do together, but in this chance, I really want you to know that you guys meant a lot to me.

Dear Jennifer, thank you for being my first close mate in our class, for being a very cheerful and sweet friend. And for always reminding me to study hard :p

Dear Jane, thank you for being a very funny and honest person. I like the way you speak to others. You show us your enthusiasm whenever you talk with us, which is a very good value of communication hahaha.

Dear Michelle, thank you for your support in the beginning of economy studies which make me almost die hahaha. And thank you for being a very pleasant friend for me. I look up to you, you’re a really hard worker! 

Dear Loretta, although sometime you seem to be grumpy and moody, I know deep inside you’re a nice person. Thank you for being a fela of mine J Show the world your smile and don’t stop!

Dear Haymond, aaaaa I just simply love you!! You show me the real you, you never wear any masks and be just the way you are. You have a great personality, I love you hahaha.

Dear Maryjane, first time I saw you, I thought you are an arrogant girl. But after I knew you more, I really know that you’re not. You’re a very caring friend. You have a big heart!

Dear Shelly, even though I don’t know whether you’ll read it or not, thank you for being a very humble and nice friend. You are willing to help others without feeling burdened or troubled. Thanks a lot J

Dear Soo, there’s not much I would say since I’ve told you thousand times, how grateful I am to have a friend like you HAHAHA *I'm serious btw*. Thank you for stick with me through the dark and heavy moments.

Aaaaaa if only you know guys how sad I am when I am writing this L 

My eyes are wet when I start remembering the memories we've got. Guys, you might think I'm more into with my Indo friends and don't care a lot about you guys. Now, I really wanna tell you that it's not true. Yes, I might spend more time together with them, but it really doesn't mean I don't care about you guys. You guys will always be the sweetest memory of foundation studies for me yeahhhh! We spent everyday together. Studying, sharing things, eating lunch, sitting in common room doing nothing, playing cards, gosip-ing HAHA and most of the time : taking photos lol

I'm sorry for all the things I'm not. For the times, if I ever made you guys disappoint or sad. Really hope we could still keep in touch even when we're separated in uni. We should gather and have a reunion soon after we return from holiday! I wish all the best for each of us! Don't lose faith and keep believing!

Dear Tepi, Nenet, Kelly, Janice and Sasa J 

I believe that we met by destiny. Thank you for being with me through the rainbow and the storm *CIEH*

This is not the end of our adventure, this is the start of something new instead. We're in different class and different stream but we can still stick together and am so happy of it. Aaaaaa we MUST keep in touch yaaa hahahaha. I know each of us will take different major at uni, but it doesn't matter, really. I believe true friendship lies on the heart not the distance nor time.

Thank you for being such super friends, for doing silly things together HAHA! Too many memories that will make me laugh when I recall lol

You all complete my life! If life is a book, then our memories are the color pencil that make it beautiful ♥  Let us all strive together to do our best in uni and our future life. This is not the real graduation hey! We still have couple years to go to really accomplish our education and wear the graduation gown with that special hat i don't know what it's called hahaha and of course to make our mom and dad happy and proud of us. All the best or us all and always involve Him in everything we do!

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. (Ephesians 4:15)
