Hello blog! long time no write. 

I'm here, in front of my lovely notebook, want to write some of my awkward thoughts about a big competition I followed named Olimpiade Penelitian Siswa Indonesia abbreviated as OPSI 2012.

it was held from October 7th to 13th at Jakarta. honestly, I've already followed same category competition. they're Indonesian Young Scientist, and 8 Research Competition. but there's no significant result. we didn't get any medals. 

that's not called as failure right? we decided not to stay at sorrowful and disappointment. at least we still had OPSI. at the first I really hoped to bring medal home. 

that was my first thought, until my teacher destroyed it. He told me not to be too ambitious, do your best. don't think about the result but run the process well. and after that. I tried to forget all the desire to get medal and started to focus on the process.

I'm so sorry if this post isn't systematic, but at least I've tried to write all things I passed. 

Day 1. 

my friends, my teacher and I went to hotel. there we did re-registration, and got the bedroom. the place is in Twin Plaza Hotel, Jakarta.

Day 2. 

Preparing for poster-exhibition. sticking two posters on the wall that had been prepared. did decorating to symbolize that we're from Jakarta.

Day 3. 

Poster Exhibition and Prillye was sick! for me, it's a huge problem. we already had our part to explain to judges about our research, and she's sick. I tried to take her part. fortunately when juries were coming, she felt better so we three could explain it all. we had done our best, and surrendered it all to God. 

Day 4. 

presentation day. we already prepared our best mental. we already prepared our heart, if we're not called of if we're called. and..........the result was.... we're called!! oh gosh I could remember how happy we were. it's really like a dream in a dry-afternoon. we're extremely happy :)

we did presentation well.

Day 5. 

Closing day. we have prepared our mental and heart. if we didn't win that didn't matter. We already did our best on poster-exhibition and presentation day. me. my heart beat 1000 times faster than usual. when the representative judge read the bronze winner, there weren't our name, I was kinda happy that meant probably I would get silver medal. then the judge read the silver medal winner, there wasn't our name. and I tried to calm myself down. "it is okay Nggi if you don't win" 

and next, the judge started to read the gold medal winners...

1st gold medal: not our name...

2nd gold medal: not our name too..

I've almost cried in front of my friends "I am so sad. this is terrible..." 

3rd gold medal: OUR NAME!

could you imagine how happy we were on that time? we shouted! shouted! we won!!! we won the gold! 

that was my unforgettable competition.

meeting all students from Sabang to Merauke... 

seeing their spirit to win this competition...

and having many friends from another regions.

thank you OPSI 2012

I'm proud of you all.
