Life as a student that is far away from home is a big challenge for me.

But, i think that by far away from family is a good idea also in order to train my mental.

For the first semester, i get many problem to adapt with Food Technology's subject. The first semester, my result was so bad, i got below 3. My friend, Dian Rumaisa, she told me to changed the course that i have taken. I think many times, i ask to my family, they accept it. They want the best for me, my future is in my hand, they said like that. So at last, i changed to Post Harvest Technology for the 2nd semester, and now i wannna go for the 5th semester.

Firstly, i can't accept the my real life, but together with the time i try to be strong to face my life. And the real fact now, i can enjoy my life, Alhamdulillah. Insyaallah all would be fine!

Hy today is 21^st April 2010, today is the day of woman hero in my country. Raden Ayu Kartini is her name. Kartini was born into an aristocratic Javanese family in a time when Java was still part of the Dutch colony, the Dutch East Indies. Kartini’s father, Raden Mas Sosroningrat, became Regency Chief of Jepara, her mother was Raden Mas. Kartini was the fifth child and second eldest daughter in a family of eleven, including half sibling. She was born into a family with a strong intellectual tradition. Kartini’s family allowed her to attend school until she was 12 years old. Here, among other subject, she learnt to speak fluent Dutch, an unusual accomplishment for Javanese woman at the time. After she turned 12, she was ‘secluded’ at home, a common practice among Javanese nobility, to prepare young girls for their marriage. During seclusion girls were not allowed to leave their parent’s house until they were married, at which point authority over them was transferred to their husbands.

Kartini’s father was more lenient than some during his daughter’s seclusion, giving her such privileges lessons and occational apperances in public for special events. During her seclusion, Kartini continued to educate herself on her own. Because Kartini could speak Dutch, she acquired several Dutch pen friends. One of them, a girl by the name of Rosa Abendanon, became her very close friend. Books, newspaper and European magazines fed Kartini’s interest in European feminist thinking, and fostered the desire to improve the condition of indigenous women, who at that time had very low social status. Kartini’s concerns were not just in the area of the emancipation of women, but also the problems of her society. Kartini saw that the struggle for women to obtain their freedom, autonomy and legal equality was just part of a wider movement.

Kartini’s parents arranged her marriage to Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat, the regency Chief of Rembang, who already had three wives. She was married on the November 12^th 1903. This was against Kartini’s wishes, but she acquiesced to appease her ailing father. Her husband undestood Krtini’s aims and allowed her to establish a school for women in the east porch of the Rembang Regency Office complex. Kartini’s only son was born on September 13^th, 1904. A few days later on September 17^th, 1904, Kartini died at the age of 25. She was buried in Bulu Village, Rembang. Inspired by Kartini’s example, the Van Deventer family establish the Kartini Foundation which built schools for women, ‘Kartini’s School’ in Semarang in 1912, followed by other areas. In 1964, President Sukarno declared Kartini’s birth date, April 21^st, as ‘Kartini Day’-an Indonesian National Holiday. This decision has been criticised. Every school from kindergarten and elementary school usually have special events like poem, reading competition, drawing competition, modelling competition (girl wear a costume like Ibu Kartini’s personal bolongings).

In contrast, those who recognise the significance of Kartini argue that not only was she a feminist who elevated the status of women in Indonesia, she was also a nationalist figure, with new ideas who struggled on behalf of her people, including her in the national struggle for independence.

So, I hope thet women must get knowledge as mush as we can, because nowadays we have a freedom to get it. It is easier than before era. We should also appreciate the struggle of hero before us that had given a big revolution to our country. And I hope in Indonesia will be born a new Kartini that wanna struggle for education importance.

=D

Hy, now I’m in Kuala Lumpur (KL). I have finished my Examination for the 4^th semester. I hope my result will be better than the 3^rd semester. My seniors said that all of them got the low marks, I’m very afraid that I will feel the same with my seniors. But I hope it was not happenned to me, amin.

On 26^th April, 2010 I will undergo to the Practical Training at Sungai Buloh in Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB). I hope that I can do my best in MRB. And I hope that the people around us are friendly, amin again, lol.

Yesterday, 18^th April, 2010 we were checking for the place of MRB, at last we met it. The place was so wide. The rubber plantation is also wide. I don’t know what we will do there. Will we slit open the latex or we just do job in the office, lol. Honestly, I’m very nervous right now, cz I don’t have any experience in this part, hehe. We just look and see what will be happen next, hope all will be good, lol.

For this final semester examination, the last paper I get “Post Harvest Unit Operation”. I don’t know what to say, I did not study hard, cz I think study hard it’s not a promise that I can answer all the questions. I can’t answer it, although I read it many times. But I can think logically to answers the questions. I hope that I can pass this last paper well.
Ok, for this holiday, I should do Industial Training during 2 months. I get in Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB), I hope I can do my best there. I do it with my friend, Dian Rumaisa. I get the Industrial Training Location because of Dian. Her father is work in the office MRB, but we are not going to the office, we were going to the rubber plantation (lol). We hope we can handle it well, cz I don’t have any experience in doing practical, hoho.
