Janji Lulusan Institut Teknologi Bandung

Last night, I talked with my flatmate. We had a chat about our university life. And I said to her, in my university, there is an auditorium which really important and memorable for all of students in our university. It is Sabuga Convention Hall. Once we admitted as student, we're welcomed there. And we're also graduated there. I said to her, that we have a joke among students, "To be welcomed in Sabuga auditoriom is difficult, and even more to be graduated there".

And I remembered that during the graduation ceremony, all of the graduated students were asked for a promise. I read it again, I realized that it's a big responsibility. I almost forget it. Now, I write it down here, to remember me always.
