june 11, 2009 is the very first graduation day for abang
the event held in one of the room of gwk (garuda wisnu kencana) with few performances (mostly dances) by the students.
bunda played important role for the performances since she taught the students with some of the dances, and not forgetting the trademark of bunda dance is ‘dindin badindin’ which was quiet awesome for some of the audiences whose mostly are pure balinese and never saw this kind of dance before. abang was also performing in this dance.
since it was quiet difficult to get the costume of west sumatera in short notice, the school tried to tailor the costume and combining with balinese fabric. resulted the costume is combination of malay and balinese prada… hmmm quiet nice too.
ayah went home from work early then usual to attend the graduation, and directly to gwk from his work since gwk is located between his work and our home. bunda was accompanied by tek yeni who brought dek rahma to take care of dek thifa since bunda will be busy assisting the teachers for the performance.
when ayah reached gwk, the program has been started for almost an hour and found the crowd was fully occupying the front area of the stage. ayah could not see the performance clearly since the stage was not that so high.
luckily that dindin badindin is the last dance of the performances so ayah could watch abang dancing, interesting.
after the performances then came the time of the graduation ceremony, one by one of the students came up to the stage once their name called, flower garland and the certificate being given then … pose… pictures taken
that’s not the last… students received the gift from school such as school mug printed with students photo at it, the printed school group photo in a frame, and also a rose with a poem for the parents… hmmm touching the heart
we went home after the meal served….
till few days later, abang still remembering and talked about the event… all of us sure that there will be more graduations for abang, for sure in the higher level of school J
