aku punya usul, bagaimana kalo kita bikin seminar, seperti pendidikan yang diadakannya dari pagi sampe malam. cukup sehari sajalah...yang

Dan temen2 nanti aku harap pada datang. Untuk snack aku siapin semuah.. untuk tempat, kayaknya temen2 yang atur...untuk jadwal, nanti kita atur bagaimana baiknya juga...
aku nunggu kabar dari kamu do... karena disini kamu sebagai pembicara yang ilmunya mesti dibagi2 ke temen2... sayang kalo input2
