Hello People of Earth!!! :)

It seems like it's been so long

(indeed it's been one whole week[!!!])

since I last posted. :)

For those who have visited my blog before,

you might have known that I've been busy with the so-called Trial

(this gruesome Thesis Defense Hearing)

every undergraduate student must go through

and pass, mind you,

in order to graduate. :)

To make a long story short...

I've GRADUATEDD!!! :D :D :D

Indeed I can now call myself a Bachelor of Economics! ;)

Sounds fancy, doesn't it?

HEHEH. :p

I've been pronounced a BE since Jan 12th,

which was also the Trial date btw,

and yet I've been soo busy with graduation

(read: picking out a pretty kebaya and choosing a flattering updo ;))

as well as getting the Thesis published in the Uni Library. :D

And though I know any excuse is not good enough to fill in on the blog absence but I do hope you'd understand. :)

My Mami accompanied me on that fateful day

she brings good luck ;)

and she absolutely did!

I graduated with a wonderful, wonderful grade on top of the pure bliss of graduating at all! :D

Though I couldn't have done it without the support of my dearest ALLAH SWT, my family, my friends, my thesis counselor, as well as YOU!

Yes you reading this, you!

So thank you! :)

Good luck and godspeed for all your future endeavors.

I wish you all the best things in this life and the hereafter. :) :) :)

Love, Intan :)

P.s. Here's a couple of pics taken on that happy happy day!!! :D

This was taken riiightt after I got out of the Trial room!!!
All of us have already graduated!!! :D

 

 

The love of my life! :)

 

 

All the Jan 12th graduates in front of our faculty's landmark, the Makara fountain. :)

 

 

 

My Mami and I in front of the fountain. :)
Note Dinda in the background.
She was the first one to get dunked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hasbi got me a cake for a graduation present.
You could see the plastic bag the cake came in on my car's  front wiper.
Very environmental unfriendly, the plastic that is... :(

 

The cake was one of those photo cakes or something...
And it's got Mickey and Minnie on it. LOL.
 

 

 

And so the day ended with a cake with my loved ones! :)

I hoped you guys had fun during my absence!

TTYL! :* 

09:43

09:41:53 I rang him up.
But I had to hang up.
My baby sister entered my room, looking for her marker or some sort.
She found it and exited.

09:42:12
I rang him up again.
His sleepy voice answered my cheery greeting.

"Assalamualaikum!" I said.
A drowsy "Wa alaikum salam" was his answer.
I smiled.
He was asleep.
It was Saturday after all.
And he was not an early waker even during the school days.

"I have something to confess," I told him,
a smile playing on my lips though he couldn't see.
"Hmm" was his reply.

I continued, "I have a crush on somebody else."
And he grunted in his half-sleep.
"You're supposed to be jealous," I reminded him
and he grunted again.

"Which character in a book now that you're crushing in?"
he managed to say, half-yawning.
I smiled.
I had an urge to kiss him at that moment and instead launched into a story depicting my current crush to which he grunted and hmmed in all the most adorable manner.
I pictured him laying in his bed, half asleep, with his eyes still closed,
his phone laid beside him just close enough to his ear to hear me talk.
And I smiled.
I wanted to kiss him again and hold him in my arms.

"What do you want to do now?" I asked him,
to which he promptly replied "Sleep."
And I said to him half pouting,
though he couldn't see it,
"Don't you miss me?"
to which he replied "I miss you too."

I left him to sleep then.
And I ended the  call.
"Okay then," I said.
Again a grunt was all he could muster.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Assalamualaikum.
"Wa alaikum salam."

A brief silence.
He had drifted back to sleep I assumed.
I smiled and looked at my book.
I hang up the phone.

"Nobody Owens," I said outloud to myself
and flicked through the pages of the book
its characters running around in my head
future possibilities and what-might-happens of
Silas,
Miss Lupescu,
Liza and Scarlett
the Kiss-on-the-Cheek,
his Passport,
Jacks of All Trades,
the Owens, the Dorians,
and all and Nobody Owens.

I smiled.
And for a good quarter of an hour I laid on my bed,
that good unshakable, fuzzy electric feeling
of a good well-written well-read--
of its characters and stories imprinted on one's head--
book.

I smiled for the hundredth times today.
And typed this up on my laptop.

I believe that a geek is never complete without their glasses.
And as a true and faithful geek,
I believe I've been one since elementary school and never grew out of it :p,
I must ask you dear readers
to please please pleasee get me one of these glasses?

Any of the first three ones would be great! :p
But the second and third ones would be AWESOME! ;)

Hehehe.

I'm actually typing this in my Internal Auditing class--

we just had a quiz.

Not a justifiable reason as to why I'm writing right now
but it's sufficient. :)
(Read: I'm bored.)
