Selamat pagi, blog walkers. Mumpung masih dalam euphoria kelulusan, saya ingin menyampaikan rasa syukur dan terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya kepada Allah SWT, dosen-dosen luar biasa di kampus, teman-teman serta keluarga. Terima kasih atas semua support-nya terutama support yang tends to be more like 'ngomporin' dari Indri Sari Utami. Thanks a million, dear.

Officially, saya pun telah menuliskan acknowledgements yang saya masukkan dalam tesis saya.
