I checked my e-mail through my mobile phone to get information about when my presentation schedule. And after replied - and receive some e-mail, Bu Lindy offered me to go to Hotel to rehearsal and stay there with her because she got a room with twin bed only for herself. And then of course I want! Wkwk. So I ordered gojek to get there. After I arrived in hotel, Bu Lindy picked me up in the lobby, did registry for the conference, and then, went to sleep!!
In the morning, we had breakfast in our room with burger. Bu Lindy had ordered these in the day before. And really, it was the most delicious burger that I had ever eaten! I chew it slowly to feel the meat and bacon in my mouth while heard Bu Lindy's story about her health condition. She told that she had just out from hospital because her backbone problem. So sad to hear that. Ya, I hope she can get better and better as before, strong and healthy. The time had came! Bu Lindy suggested me to hurry up and dressed up because the opening ceremony almost begin. But wait! She continued her sleep? So, I had to go to the conference alone? Ah, ok, I would try!
I thought my reluctance and my unconfortableness were going to the surface. Moreover, all people there were professional, expert, adult, and... who am I? But hey, I saw Bondan came to the conferency with his work-friends. I felt grateful, finally I had someone in the same age in that time. At 10.30 am, Tirta came to this conference. Yey, and at the lunch time, we both choosed table in hidden area because we didn’t feel comfort to sit among those professionals, and.. We had delicious lunch!
In the evening, I and Bu Lindy were in our room, She said “Come on Anggi, dress you up. We should come to gala dinner”. Weetss! “Should I, Bu? I didn’t know anyone there”. Bu Lindy replied me “If you didn’t know them, let yourself to introduce each other. If they refuse to, so what?! Leave them and find the new people. Don’t let people’s perspectives control yourself” Ah ya.. ok Bu, I’ll try!
The gala dinner gone crazy. After eat, people enjoy to sing and dance. I wondered, everybody looked different from the first impression. Oh ya, in this gala dinner, i met person with the same age. He is Hasan, graduated from Undip. He is sociable, and after his presentation in the next day, i knew that he is very smart. My paper became a grain of volcanic ash if is compared with his paper -_-
After gala dinner, I and Bu Lindy came back to our room. We did rehearsal for tomorrow morning. I got some revisions from Bu Lindy and I had to change some part in my slide. I also still need learn to speak, so let stay up till the morning!
The time had came. It was my turn to presentate. Finally I id it, but i thought it was not good enogh. In the front of the people, I can not distinguish which was suggestion, which was question -_- But, i though it was better than I did before. Thank You Bu Lindy for your coach!! After I finished my presentation, some people came to me and give me congratulation with smile on their face. Actually I was happy got it, but at the same time, I felt weird because it looked like i had just done something embarrassing and they said that to amuse me and to forget my fault, akk!! The funny thing was Pak Andi. After this session had end, he directly sent me pictures during my presentation! Ya, my appearance was not bad enough, looked neat, I thought.
During the lunch time, I try to sit with the stranges until I knew who they are. In the middle of lunch, I brave my self to ask contact to Pak Didi because I was curious about initial HI measurements (and now I know those are difficult -,-). After lunch and saw some presentation, we moved to another room to close this event. Kyaa, I will miss Bu Lindy so much :( When can I meet her again? I don't know.. And ya, there are always photo session in the end of event. After that, we said good bye each other, but I hope I always can learn anything from them.
