NEXT TO YOU

[Chris Brown]
You’ve got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.

[Justin Bieber]
Yeah, you are my dream,
There’s not a thing I won’t do.
I’ll give my life up for you,
Cos you are my dream.

[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry.
I’ll be there when you’re insecure,
Let you know that you’re always lovely.
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Chris Brown]
You had my child,
You make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on little me,
That’d be mine forever.

[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I’ll be there when you’re insecure
Let you know that you’re always lovely

Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Bridge]
We’re made for one another
Me and you
And I have no fear
I know we’ll make it through

One day when the sky is falling
I’ll be standing right next to you
Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhh

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

Oh nah nah
Oh yeah
Stand by my side
When the sky falls
Oh baby
I’ll be there

You’ve got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
To keep you forever.

Personal Statement

My name is Alfian Luhur Pambudi. Seventeen years ago, I was born in Yogyakarta, bounding into a world of love and laughter. I live in a poor, but happy family. My high school was done in the acceleration class at SMA N 8 Yogyakarta. I was the greatest student that got the best mark in the final exam. My undergraduate program was just started in this academic year at Institut Teknologi Bandung, Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering.

I am seeking the opportunity to pursue this scholarship in order to support tuition fee and my studying facilities, include a notebook that I can bring it anywhere as a computer in my hand and the printer. Not only those, I also need some textbooks as the “guide” in my study, which presents the window of knowledge. These are the modals to get the success in life and of course in studying.

I remember a short story that makes me change my own perspective dramatically. One day when I was in junior high school, my sister came back from a shopping trip, she bought a new cell phone that supported by an internet service. I am very happy because I could borrow it to download some games. Actually I confused at first because there were many games in the website. Then I chose the strategic games one, Aqua Dig. Maybe some people scoffed at such an old-fashioned game. Who would want to waste glorious time to play that game, pretending to be a sea miner? However, after playing that game once, I absolutely riveted by the nuances of mining and soon began loosing sleep as I tried to drill the sea ground, mine some minerals, use explosive bomb and better understand the game’s ever changing dynamics. Deeper the layer ground I’ve dug, I got some valuable materials such as gold, diamond, ruby, and oil. I spent my time absorbed by the game, my sister grinned knowingly. How could I resist being fascinated with this, she asked me, when I incessantly read about mining and petroleum.

Though my passion for this field undoubtedly dates back to high school, I never had the chance to fully develop this interest before college. Once I arrived at ITB, however, I discovered that I could learn about mining through my education. Academically, I will decide to concentrate in engineering of petroleum.

Interestingly, I think that I have learned at least as much about mining and petroleum through my study in college as I have through my classes. Thankfully, I will have also found time for over few years later to cultivate interests and skills unrelated to academics by following some student activity units.

Because of my wide range of interests, I have not yet decided what career path to follow in the future. In the short run, I hope to study for fast track program which I can get double degree only in 5 years. And then, I would like to study abroad, in the process immersing my self in another culture and deepening my personal and academic understanding of mining and petroleum, especially in geothermal energy. After studying abroad, my options would include working for an oil company, entering the mining world and attending an environmental school. In the long run, I envision for my self a career straddling the highest levels of engineering in mining and petroleum. I could achieve this admittedly ambitious goal by advancing within an oil company or OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries). Perhaps most appealingly, I could also achieve some degree of influence over actual converting energy decisions─that is, becoming a player my self in the real-life game of mining.

By letting me to be my self, not changing only to adjust with people in my surrounding, I learn from this friendship how to be more independent and to accept both my weakness and strengths as an individual. My life experiences have moulded me into a hardworking and what I would call an "unflappable" person. Besides opening up the world of scientific research to me, my experiences here have taught me that mistakes do not always have to hold me back, and often take me closer to my goal. Things often look easy to do at first glance, but a lot of hard work is involved in making them seem that way. After standardizing some protocols myself, I now understand the kind of effort that goes into developing the techniques that make my work so much easier. I thank to God because of his grace. Till this seconds, my steps always followed by luck and I believe that all what I want is what I've got.

I am looking forward to the challenges that this project presents as well as the opportunities for further maturation as a practicing engineer. Ensconcing my self in Bandung’s culture, intellectual environment and vigorous research at ITB is the chance of a lifetime. I hope to be able to seize these.
