"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." Ecclesiastes 9:11

Nicole
the songs of nichole nordeman always make me cry.. always. like this one for example..
Oh great God, be small enough to hear me now. There were times when I was crying from the dark of Daniel’s den. I had asked you once or twice if you would part the sea again. Tonight I do not need a fiery pillar in the sky. Just want to know you’re gonna hold me if I start to cry.
Oh great God, be small enough to hear me now. Oh great God, be close enough to feel me now. There have been moments when I could not face Goliath on my own and how could I forget we marched around our share of Jerichos.
But I will not be setting out a fleece for you tonight. Just wanna know if everything will be alright. Oh great god be close enough to feel me now.
All praise and all the honor be to the god of ancient mysteries whose every sign and wonder turn the pages of our history
But tonight my heart is heavy and I cannot keep from whispering this prayer.. are You there?
And I know you could leave writing on the wall that’s just for me or send wisdom while I’m sleeping like in Solomon’s sweet dreams. I don’t need the strength of Sampson or a chariot in the end. Just wanna know you still know how many hairs are on my head. Oh great God.. are You small enough? Be small enough to hear me now...
selamat pagi, Paris..
(time to change the clock to wintertime hours..)

Prancis sialan...
I swear I never swear in my life.. (yeah rite, mim...). But this time.. it's a little bit too much..
Payah nih negara, nggak ada yang mau kasih kerja ke gue???? Menyebalkan! Capek gue terima surat² yg isinya negatif di mailbox gue, capek pula gue terima bill² yang ga berhenti masuk sementara gue nya sendiri jobless? hu'uh? Bayar pakai apa, daun? Udah gitu giliran ada yang OK.. satuuuu aja yang OK mau terima gue, Dept. TK nya lebih prefer and wait for other FRENCH candidats .. uhhhhhh....
Kemarin Lucy telfon dari kampus untuk konfirmasi kedatangan gue di ceremony maret 2004. Terus terang, kalau gue masih di sini, hehe, let's go and get drunk, guys.. Tapi kalau nggak? Dia juga kasih tahu anak² di jurusan gue cuma 3 yang baru dapet kerjaan... three out of 80 students..???
Stop swearing, mim....

Beberapa hari nunggu nilai akhir dan hasil sidang/skripsi dengan perasaan dag dig dug memang nggak enak banget rasanya. Makanya, begitu semalam Anshka bilang dia udah dapet hasilnya, gue langsung telfon kampus hari ini juga.
Puji Tuhan, gue lulus. Surat pernyataan lulus, diploma beserta nilai² akhir termasuk nilai sidang bakal dikirim minggu depan. Mereka tanya apa gue mau daftar untuk ceremony bulan maret 2004.. hoah, nggak tahu deh, lama aja tuh ceremony..
Satu lagi, bahagia gue bakal lebih lengkap lagi kalau gue udah dapet kerja.. Amin, amin..

Merci à Dieu, adek gue udah baik² aja. Dari sejak siuman, semua orang udah bisa denger celoteh khasnya si centil satu itu. Fiuh.. thank you for all the comments & mails, guys. Merci.. merci.. merci.. arigato gozaimazu :p
Trus.. trus, mim?
Gue dapat kabar dari sekolah kalau kita udah bisa minta surat kelulusan, tapii.... graduation day-nya baru akan dilaksanakan bulan Maret 2004.. Lama banget! Gue tahu sih tahun-tahun sebelumnya juga selalu begitu, le jour de la remise du diplome-nya selalu lama banget. Satu lagi, ada yang membedakan antara graduation day-nya eropa (FR, Jerman, etc..) dan negara² lain (Inggris, Indo, US, etc..). Nggak ada itu yang namanya toga & baju kurung warna hitam, lalu jalan naik ke atas podium u/ diserahkan ijazahnya dan dimain²in topinya. Kalau di sini diadain suatu acara namanya soirée gala. Isinya ramah tamah, dinner, foto kanan kiri bersama para profesor, orangtua masing², pacar masing²... Peraturannya, yang perempuan harus pakai gaun, yang laki² tuxedo, atau sejenisnyalah. Pokoknya mirip acara pernikahan tapi lebih formal. Ijazah dan diplomanya sendiri diserahkan siang hari di kantornya direktur sekolah. Basi banget... hehe. Ntar gue tarik aja direkturnya foto² di taman sekolah biar kelihatan kayak abis graduation. Hahaha.. boong banget!
Gue ini yah, dapat hasil sidang aja belum... :(
