Graduation Day…(Another Commencement)

It’s all over. My university was times officially over today. (Sigh) This morning I went to attend morning mass. There was a visit from Vincentius Orphanage. At 10.30 AM went to JCC. Arrived there at 11.30 AM, lots of cars and it’s quite difficult to get parking space. Went in, met Eddy and his parents. Took some pictures and as time went by my other friends came. The girls looked different today. Most of them looking much more beautiful then they used to be. If girls put some make up, they can really be a totally different person. From VC, Iing, Indah, VY, Yanti, Laura, and other girls than I hadn’t notice..till this day…hehehehe damn…Binus had quite a lot beautiful girls actually…*big grin*.. We took tons of pictures. It was very overwhelming. The graduation ceremony started at 2 PM. As I had said before, I got #609. My neighbors were Limanto (#608) and a cute girl named Siandari (#610). Limanto was one of the best graduates with Hendrawati. I saluted both of you. I waa also one of the best graduates, therefore my parents got a VIP seat in the right wing. And then there was this speech from graduate representative. She gave an excellent speech. Very touching. Just like her, I was also experienced so many emotions. Happy, Proud, Sad, and other feelings that words couldn’t describe. After the ceremony, took some pictures at King Photo stand just outside the function hall. I was being a one day celeb, lots of my friends wanted to take pic with me. Maybe because I was one the best…lol. (Sigh) Good bye my university times. I’m gonna miss you. As much as I want to stay like this forever, I can’t. We can’t. We must go on, embracing the life that lie before our eyes. Quoting Matrix Revolution : “Everything that has a beginning, has an end”. Surely this is the end. But it’s only the end of my university times, not the end my learning times, coz learning is never done. It’s not the end of the friendship that I have with my friends (miss you guys….), coz friendship never dies. It’s just the end of one chapter in my life…a chapter that has been a significant part in my life….To all of my friends, I’d like to dedicate this song…

Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives,
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause were on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cuz you don't have another day

Cuz we're moving on and we cant slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June,
I didnt know much of love but it came too soon.
And there was me and you and well we got real blue,
Stay at home talking on the telephone, with me,
We'd get so excited and we'd get so scared,
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair...

And this is how it feels...

chorus :
As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
Come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever...

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money,
When we look back now will our jokes still be funny?,
Will we still remember everything we learned in school,
Still be trying to break every single rule?(every single rule)
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that its not goodbye,(not goodbye)
Keep on thinkin its our time to fly,

And this is how it feels...

chorus

la,la,la,la... yeah, yeah...la, la, la, la
We will still be,
Friends Forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow? (somehow)
I guess I thought that this would never end,
AND SUDDENLY IT'S LIKE WE'RE WOMEN AND MEN
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Or will these memories fade when I leave this town?,
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its our time to fly...
