Business Simulation and LMT

There are seem loads of things happened in the past two weeks. Hell yeah, I've been so freakin'out by all of these things, but passing them felt soooo satisfying! :)
 Let us begin with a sudden message asking me to join a business simulation with CEPot'S at Jakarta. Wow. As planned, there were only 5 10th graders that were allowed to follow the competition and go to Jakarta. Maybe for some reasons they (The 11th graders) added two more new kids on the block. So I said yes, I didn't attend the psycho test on Saturday and being late for LMT just to taste a new experience in the business world which eventually was worthy so much. The night before, I went to Damri with my brother, grandma, and auntie to pick my mommy up at 11 o'clock in the night. You can guess that I slept in the midnight whilst I had to be at school the next morning at 6 o'clock. We went to Prudential Tower by APV containing 12 people. TWELVE PEOPLE! What happened? Don't ask. I barely felt my feet because of having over cramps. *I swear I would never ever do that again!


To the point. There was a lot of food and sooo yummy! (it becomes one of the reasons I : do not regret going there and being fatter, rofl) Like I used to be in buSY, I became the documentation section (wow, somebody should have recommended me being a photographer!). Well at least I did something, rather than just going

and became a weapon of massive consumption. Unexpectedly we made it through the final of 6 schools. After our school was mentioned, we were so freaking happy. Winning the first prize to have a trip to Yogyakarta absolutely abided. But to the point again, we failed being one of the three winners. Yeah, that's reasonable because we were the only general state school, the other were special schools. What interesting is, the winner was a special school for students with disabilities. Oh, I'm so moved. It gives me a learn: God is just. He gives people with disabilities with a special ability that normal people don't have. So I just got a bag with a notebook, umbrella, and a doll inside. Pretty nice. Say BYE to Prudential Tower and Yogyakartaaaa! (I'll come again next year, see my revenge! HAHAHA)

What a tiring day, actually. Sleep on my soft warm bed would be pleasure. Ah, I wish I could do that. But still, I had a responsibility and loyalty to eASY. Yeah, attending the LMT. It stands for Leadership Management Training and is obliged to all eASY members. So as soon as I arrived at Bogor at half to six, I rushed to my house, packed things up, and rushed again to school. My brother took me there and I arrived at school at about 7 o'clock. 

The night was spent by important materials which I knew would be very useful for my future. Also, the 5 maincomms had to deliver their campaign to be the chairperson. We slept at 11 o'clock in x-1 room and was sooo startled by a wake up call at about half past one. The 12th graders woke us up and asked to have a night prayer. They then commanded us to go to the hall on the 4th floor in only 40 seconds. I couldn't imagine running through 3 floors in only such time. One word: exhausting. The hall was quite dim because the lightings came only from the candles. The 12th graders and alumni immediately asked us to make lines and began scolding. I was so washed-out that time that I could scarcely stand. I decided to go out of the line and took a rest behind with a Ami and someone I could not remember because I was too busy thinking about my own health. I called back that I hadn't had my lunch, so it's just sensible that I was out of vigour. And all of a sudden, I felt so woozy and my head's spinning. Oh, I was about being nausea! And more pra-maincomms gave up and decided to go behind: Salsa, Fidel, teh Alvi, and a Sande.

I forced myself to go back in-line. I hadn't felt okay really, but finally managed myself to stand up at least. Where to begin? Alright, the call on the carpet thing continues. I damnly wanted to answer their distracting questions like 'Why are you here?', 'Why should we accept you as an eASY member?', 'What are you going to do for eASY's next year work program?', or 'Do you consider LMT as a formality?'. Such simple questions actually, but were trapping too, and I was one of the members who was pinned down in this situation. Someone said, 'Because we are a team', then they fought back by saying 'Are you really a team? Do you happen to know the names' of the whole eASY members or at least your own division? F*ck that!' (in fact he indeed said that). And someone said again, 'Because we already have the sense of belonging to eASY'. Once again, the alumnus said ' Why are there only 30 people of you here? Where are the others? Do you know where they are? What have you done to eASY? The sense of belonging? Ha, that's bullsh*t!' (again, he really said that. Haha, love it).

Drat, what should I say then? I was still so dizzy, sweating a lot, fed up of the rebuke, and aweary because almost 2 hours had I stood in the hall. But things just went by, I could finally say something I already forgotten now. The call for the dawn prayer was heard, and it was all over. I counted and counted and figured out that we'd been standing in the sauna-like hall for about three hours. Three hours, couldn't believe for what I'd done! Standing one hour for ceremony felt so effortful, but standing there for three hours felt like in no time. Another lesson I discovered: In an arduous situation, humans can do or survive more than they think they can do. I actually have read about this on the National Geographic magazine belongs to my father, but just experienced the real meaning of it. Lol.

We then did the dawn prayer, and went sleeping dog-tired until half past seven in the morning. We did an exercise and games, had breakfast of energen and bread, packed things up, had lunch, and went home. Oh, I almost forget mentioning one of the most important events: A Ayip Fahmi aka a Ami was finally chosen as the new chairperson. Yeeeeaaaaay, congratulations, a Amiiiii!! ^^
Home, how I miss you so much!
So that's it. One of my unforgettable memories. I thank the 12th graders and alumni who'd been working so hard for this.
I looooove eASY! eASY eASY eASY, get the goal eASY for all! :D
Cheers of exhaustion,

Putri
