Reunion with ex-class mate, ex-colleagues and ex-boss (260906)

September 28th, 2006 by fiorelino

It was 26th September 2006 and my schedule was visiting my first university, a place where I received my first salary and flying to Surabaya.

I remembered how happy I was, when I got my first Rp. 100.000,- . By that time I was still in second year, and one kind lecturer saw my talent in programming ;-) Kak HM.. where r u now? I have to thank you, because of you I learned many things, that I didn’t get in the normal lessons. I can use many kind of computers, such as AS/400, ICL and also programming such as Informix 4GL and so on.

Beside me, there were other ‘recruit’ from my year, but they came from other classes. One of them is my dear friend WS. She still in that university. She had a good position there and right now she was doing her S3.

I came too early … as I always did .. but this time I didn’t have a key to open the door, so I had to wait until one of my friends came.

Actually I came earlier, because first, I wanted to meet my old friend, DW, who studied in the university near this university. She was my class mate when I was in Junior High school, it means that we didn’t meet each other about 20 years!!! - because after finishing Junior High I didn’t hear about her anymore until recently….

The second reason ist, that I didn’t want to get stack in jam too … so I was already in my almamater at 07.30 :-)

While waiting someone to come, I called some friends from my HP. One of them is my dear german friend A. She lived in BSD and I told her, that probably I will go to BSD on friday after my visit in Surabaya.

Beside A, I called also my dear lovely sis class mate, LW… She was still at home, but she said that she would come in one hour. Well… I think I made three calls before my dear friend WS came.

WS came at 07.50 and she asked me to do to her office. While heading in her office, I sent sms to DW, told her if she came, she should sms or call me and I would pick her up.

Shortly I met DW at 08.15, we talked about our past, and as usual I told DW and WS also about my research in Uni-Bayreuth. I gave them my presentation too. Short before 09.00 WS got a call from LW, whom I called one hour ago. She was already in UG and she waited of us … since DW had to go to her college too, we separated in the hall, WS and I were heading to LW building. DW went back to her college.

It was a nice reunion. Again I told about my research to all my friends there … It was a smallLepkom_3

group, but I hope that my information could be usefull for them. I leave the CDs there too…

Since I have to boarding at 18:20, and I still had to prepare anythings for my trip to surabaya, I had to say goodbye to everybody at 13.15 before leaving UG I had a chance to meet my ex boss too, and as always I presented my presentation (again..).

I think that visit was successfull, I just need to keep in touch with them, so we can build MAS-Community in Indonesia.

I was home at 14.00 and prepared everything. My parents took me to ‘Kampung Rambutan Terminal’ at 15.00, then, as my last trip to makassar, I went to the airport with Damri Bus (Soekarno-Hatta Bus) from ‘Kampung Rambutan Terminal’.

It was a long wait …. and unfortunately my gold-citibank card couldn’t have any access in executive lounge in Terminal A … ouch !!! well so I just waited and had a breakfast in waiting room.

In the waiting room, as usual I became a smoke detector, and warn every person I saw smoking in that room ;-) Beside being a smoke detector I become also a good listener for a girl, who just came from Singapore. She worked there as helper in a family… she was looking a company to go to surabaya…. well in that waiting room there were 2 kind of passangers: First, passengers to Surabaya, second to Mataram. Because of her, I met also a nice young lady, which also wanted to go to Surabaya, and she offered me to go with her to my sister’s house, because her house is in the near my sister’s house.

I wasn’t sure to accept her offer, because I don’t want to trouble her to drop me first to my place and so on … but she was insisting… well, I said: Thank you very much, we’ll see latter, probably I just canceled my ’surprise’ and called her when I arrived.

The passengers of Lion Air, who wanted to go to Surabaya boarded at 18:40. I was sitting (Actually) in the middle - 3e but since I was earlier, and the TKW, who didn’t want to go in the near window, she asked just to move my place. So the position of my row were: tkw, physician and my self.

It was a short flight, and during the flight, since I know that the man sit near me was a physician, orthopedy surgery - As usual I told him also about my purpose of this trip. He was very interrested in my research, and gave me his contact adrress, so we could keep in touch. He offered me also to give a lift to go to my sister’s place…. Well… I told him that someone already offered me too, and in fact she lived in the near my sister’s house. He said we’ll wait  if I couldn’t find her when we arrived, he would take me to my sister’s place.

We arrived in Surabaya at 19.55 and he was picked up by his wife and his lovely daughter. They insisted me to enter they car … well I guess it’s okay, since they had driver. I thought the driver would know all roads in surabaya. The wife of that physician is psichology and she told me that their direction is just like my sister’s place direction, so it won’t be a problem for them.

The physician asked 108 for the direction of my sister’s place, and I was already in front of the house of my sister at 20.40. After ringing the bell I was hiding while my brother in law looked for someone who rang the bell… I suprised him … in about 2 minutes my litle nephew came out and said … mama arummmm…….my nephew called me always like that :-)

My surprise was succeed.
