Internship : 4 Days Before

Ok just like what i promised before (to myself of course), i have to write up about what happened with my internship. Actually i had this written up at my phone as a draft but no, i think i'm gonna start over this one and let's see what can i wrote up. After all, i feel much more better if i write this in English by using my laptop "Onion" (yeah this is what i named him, after what happened in my internship too)'s keyboard rather than my phone "Scar" (yeah i also named him, because he's a Sony Ericsson type Arc S)'s touchpad. Ok i know i'm going nowhere with this introduction, so let's just cut this.

So, actually, my internship started at 4th of June, on Monday of course. BUT, somehow i don't feels right if i just came at the designated time so i decided to came to Yogyakarta from the Thursday before. I also wanted to play with my friend at Yogya before. I knew he wouldn't like it if i came exactly at my first day of internship and i didn't play with him beforehand. Ok so, i went to Yogya at Thursday morning, by using an executive train at 8am. Seriously, this is the first time i'm using an executive train to Yogya. Before, when i had to see my friend, yep the same friend of course -- Bagia Ramadhan Alim, i had to use the economic one. Well of course it felt very very different. All of it and i can't even decide which one should i compared first. Anyway, it is that different. Just like hell and heaven hahaha.

So actually, i did and did not doing that much of things. Well, let's just skip this part because yeah, i prefer to keep those memories of three days as my precious one hahaha. Too bad, i just can't share it with anyone. Actually it's because i forgot what i did, no i didn't do anything funny or perverted. No. I'm straight guy. Seriously. I have to mention this because i have a particular friend who is very obsessed to have a gay friend but she couldn't find one. Instead, she tried to make one hahaha. Too bad i won't be that fallen. I still love boobies hahaha.

Ok so, in the sunday, well as usual, when i stayed at Bagia's place, i suddenly can't become the usual morning bird haha. Sorry mom, but it's because i always stayed up until 4am here because we always had stories to tell and to share. So, in the sunday afternoon, i woke up at around 11am. Well, my internship partner, Adinda Gita Priyantika already contacted me to met up in front of the office at around 5pm. THE OFFICE, which is located in Magelang, Borobudur Temple, and it was 1 hour trip from Bagia's place. So, i went there around 4pm from Yogya. Oh i forgot to mentioned my luggage. Yeah, i have to bring my luggage in 80L Carrier Bag and another 40L daily pack plus a sleeping bag. I know, I know. I know this is exaggerating but still, i feel safe just by bringing them hahaha (Actually i'm just that bad at sorting things so i ended up bringing everything).

When i arrived at front of the office, Dinda, her mother, her uncle, and her aunt already there with the house owner which Dinda and I will stay for the next one month. So, the house owner, Mrs. Tono. A typical middle-aged woman. But surely, she is very nice and kind. Also, my monthly rent for my room is IDR 200k. I get a bed and a water dispenser in my room. Mrs Tono also prepared some food for lunch. Well, seriously, 200k and a lunch? It's way too kind seriously. Of course Dinda and I asked her about extra cost but she said don't really have to mind about that. She said just see later but somehow, we had the impression that she doesn't really care about the money. We'll see later. After that i had some housewarming talk with Mrs Tono and the others without dinda because (i think) she had to organize her room. I know i had this ability to get along with elders easily but i never thought i'll be this easy to blend in with dinda's uncle, aunt, mother, and Mrs Tono. Not long after that, dinda's uncle said that this night dinda and i should spend a night at his house in Magelang. Well, i don't have any problems with that. I never thought i'll be this easy going.

Long story short the first night before, i spent it by sleeping at dinda's uncle house WHICH IS located inside the Taruna Nusantara highschool -- a school which my dad and grandfather always wanted me enrolled (haha too bad i won't ever let myself in :p thanks god i had Malaria when i had to took the entrance exam, but so be it hahaha). But yeah, that night i literally had sleep inside the school ground (although it's actually inside the teacher's house but at least i already ever had slept there hahaha). Anyway, before went to sleep, dinda and i, we did some research on moss and algae for tomorrow. Actually we want to make a simple research design to surprise our mentor there but it turns out we didn't have enough energy. So, we choose to sleep instead.

Funny trivia, i forgot my towel at bagia's place which means i have to buy another towel. Yeah i did bought another one. Not a good one, but enough for one month hahaha. Also, dinda's uncle took us around magelang just to show us some places. Well it was in the night so i didn't get that many sightseeing.

I'll write the real part about internship in the posts after this hahaha. Ok this preface is way too long i know. :p
