Graduation

Last Saturday was the graduation day in the university i am working, UPH. As the new head of department I must attend this event because there are students from our department graduating today. I have been in two graduations in my life, the first was in ITB Indonesia and the second was in Latrobe University Melbourne. Last   Saturday was my third time, but this time the graduation was not for me but for my students. The interesting thing is that in all graduation I must wear a gown.

Another interesting thing about this graduation is the fact that there were only two students from our departments graduating last Saturday. And we as the new and the youngest department in UPH are very proud because one of our graduate is the best student in UPH. And we got the Rector Cup for achieving this thing.

Moving to a new place

Today i will officially move to a new acommodation. It is quite exciting to move into a new place as i have been living in the old place for two years. I would like to have a new environment. But in fact, i move because I need to save some money. I have started to find a house and if the finance will be approved, i will need to save some of my salary. This means i cannot live in the old place as is it is quite expensive. For i have seen in my life, i often meet a lot of people who have already started financing to have a house. They admitted that they have been struggling for the first three years of their financing life. Some of them did ten years financing, and some of them did fifteen years financing, and i still do not know how many years i am going to ask the bank to finance my hopefully house. Regardless of that, i need to immediately start saving. There is no room for expensive foods, or for watching movie in the premiere class, or eventhere is no pertamax for my car, premium is enough.
