Today was
Greenagers’ (another project from LC UNDIP) opening event, a tree-planting
activity near Ungaran (okay, I’m not sure about the name of the place). We met
one of the EPs, Seif from Egypt. :D
The
activity was pretty exhausting, because we were under the sun for about 95% of
the time there. =)))) I met a lot of new people (whose names I’ve totally
forgotten at this point), and some familiar faces from CJLC. I even saw their
LCP again, Anin. At one point, a couple of people asked us foreigners a few
questions on camera. It was funny, cause I honestly didn’t know what I was
talking about, hahaha! The sun was getting to me. =))))
After
being brought back to UNDIP, we were given lunch, and we stayed for a couple
more minutes to talk to the others about tonight’s and tomorrow’s events.
Later, Andi took me home. :)
After a
nap, Andi came to pick me up again to bring me to the Grand Candi Hotel for
Zaka’s pre-event for Batik Fashion Week. I was supposed to be there with Iva,
Kali, and Seif, but they were running late, so I just hung around to listen
(well, I tried) to the person in front talking about batik-making techniques.
There was an Indonesian food buffet, too. When the others came, we started
eating, but… Indonesian food….. =))) Okay, I’m not such a big fan of it, to be
honest. Other than tempe and Nasi Goreng, I’m not exactly lining up to get my
fill of it. Seif was worse though, hahaha! While watching the people talk in
front, we were interviewed by the hosts. =))) Then before leaving, we were
interviewed by some people from this TV station, and it was super funny because
Seif and I didn’t know what to do. =)))
After
that, we went to Alfamart to get a few drinks before heading to Balai Kota for
Law Festival 2014, UNDIP’s Faculty of Law’s annual event. When we got there, I
saw a few familiar faces, and Brian joined the group. I also saw Andi, who had
my helmet from when he brought me to the hotel. We were there to see Edo
dancing with the Pompom Boys, and the DJ group Midnight Quickie. The thing is,
the place was suuuuper crowded by the time Edo’s group was supposed to perform.
It was suffocating, uncomfortable, and you could feel other people’s sweat on
you, so Seif and I decided to just go to the back. I’d rather not see anything
but have space to breathe than see the show but have to have my legs amputated
after. =)))
I texted
Ryan to pick me up, but my phone died, so I couldn’t meet up with him. Turns
out he waited for me for about an hour, but decided to go home after cause I
didn’t show up. (Damn BB battery keeps dying, ughhh). I was panicking, cause I
didn’t know where to go after, cause by that time, I was already locked out of
my host fam. What I did was borrow someone’s phone and contact Ryan through
Facebook. After that, I just took a taxi to Ryan‘s house
cause I was desperate. Thank you for letting me crash. HAHAHA
