ENGLISHThese last 2 days have been long days for me, but fun, haha... . Yesterday I gotta go to my campus at 9 AM since there was a 'Dies Natalis' (anniversary) ceremony of my department. After all the official thingy had been done, we had lunch (hahaha, a great thing: I saved more money from breakfast post, LOL). Then suddenly my friends and I made a plan to watch a movie later in the afternoon (at 3.30 PM since one friend and I had a lecture to attend at 1 PM) and we accepted it.So, at 3 PM we went to Paris van Java. Our other friends had bought us the tickets and we watched 'Ironman'. My review about this movie can be read here, but overall I think it's a cool movie. I rate it 4 out of 5.Then, we had dinner at KFC. Well, on our way there, we met our campus' rector (head of the university). On KFC, suddenly the electricity went off!! What!?!?!? Okay, so that was my third time experience experiencing blackout in a mall. The first one was at this time at Istana Plaza and the second time was at this time at Malioboro Mall last March. That was kinda weird, haha... . There we just hanged out and had a chit chat until 7.30 PM. However, on our way back to the parking lot we met another TU Staff (the one that I have ever written about at my private blog at this entry). Then we went back home.Today has been another long day. I gotta be at campus at 9 AM to attend a meeting with the vice-rector about an upcoming program and OSPEK next August. For the OSPEK thingy, we still haven't come with an agreement, haha... . Then I had lectures from 11 AM right until 5 PM. Wooh, so tiring.I just watched American Idol, and I think David Archuleta was the best this week. As always, Jason Castro was the weakest and I agree with Simon, he needs to pack his suitcase this week. Hopefully that thing will really happen!! hahaha... .

BAHASA INDONESIADua hari terakhir ini benar-benar 2 hari yang panjang deh untuk saya, tapi cukup menyenangkan sih, haha... . Kemarin aku mesti pergi ke kampus jam 9 pagi soale akan ada perayaan 'Dies Natalis' (ulang tahun) fakultas. Habis semua acara resminya ada makan-makan deh (lumayan deh saya bisa ngirit biaya makan pagi, LOL). Trus tiba2 entah kenapa temen2 dan saya membuat rencana untuk nonton deh siang harinya (jam 3.30 sore soale aku sama 1 temenku ada kuliah jam 1 siang) dan kita menerima ajakannya.Jadi, jam 3 sore kita pergi ke Paris van Java. Temen2 yang lain uda kesana duluan dan uda beli tiketnya dan kita nonton 'Ironman'. Review saya tentang film ini bisa dibaca disini, namun secara keseluruhan aku rasa filmnya keren loh. Aku kasi nilai 4 dari 5 deh. Trus kita makan malam di KFC. Hmm, dalam perjalanan kesana tau2 kita ketemu sama rektor (kepala kampus) kampus tuh. Di KFC, tiba-tiba listriknya mati!! Apa!?!?!? Oke, jadi kemarin adalah kali ketiga tuh aku mengalami mati lampu di sebuah mall. Pertama kali adalah pada waktu ini di Istana Plaza dan yang kedua adalah pada waktu ini di Malioboro Mall Maret kemarin. Aneh juga yah, haha... . Disana ya kita ngobrol2 gitu sampe jam 7.30 malam. Nah, pas lagi mau jalan balik ke tempat parkir taunya kita ketemu dah sama seorang staff TU (yang pernah saya bahas di blog privat pada posting ini). Trus kita balik deh.Hari ini juga merupakan hari yang panjang nih. Aku mesti uda di kampus jam 9 pagi soale mesti ikutan rapat gitu sama wakil rektor tentang sebuah acara yang akan datang dan rapat tentang OSPEK Agustus besok. Untuk yang OSPEK kita masih belum mencapai kesepakatan sih, haha... . Trus masa saya harus kuliah non-stop deh dari jam 11 sampe jam 5 sore. Waaah, cape bgt dah. Aku baru aja nonton American Idol, dan aku rasa David Archuleta adalah yang terbaik minggu ini. Seperti biasanya, Jason Castro adalah yang terlemah dan aku setuju dengan Simon, dia perlu mengepak kopernya deh minggu ini. Semoga ini beneran menjadi kenyataan dah!! hahaha... .
ENGLISHYeah, I still love the fact that finally now I get my laptop back and now it works normally!! YEAAHHH!!! hahaha... . Well, having said that, I gotta spend a lot of money for this: around Rp 1,600,000.- grrrr... . But now I learn a lesson at least, haha... . Now I'm a bit paranoid to plug all the cables in when it's raining pretty hard outside, LOL. It can possibly cause that big amount of money to fly away freely, LOL. Therefore yesterday when it was raining pretty hard for about 30 minutes here, I suddenly stopped my internet connection and plug all the cables off, LOL.Anyway, this week is the last week before final exams weeks which starts next week. Wah!! This semester really has been so quick!! Well, this week, luckily I don't have any more assignments to submit, yeah. However, 2 quiz are still ahead (next Friday and Saturday).Anyway, lately I'm pretty much in the mood of cooking by myself, LOL. Well, not the so challenging and sophisticated meals (I'm not capable of for that, hahaha... :D), but just the simple and instant one like cornet, scrambled eggs, omelets, and also sandwich, hahaha.... . Plus, it's apparently could save more money, hmmm
::: an 'iseng' pic I took near my boarding house while I was waiting for my grilled fish and twas suddenly raining damn hard
::: sandwich I made last week where I forgot to take 2 slices of cheese while the cheese was actually right in front of my eyes, LOLBAHASA INDONESIAYeah, aku masih suka banget sama fakta kalo sekarang laptop saya sudah balik dan sudah balik normal lagi!! hahaha... . Hmm, walau begitu aku harus bayar lumayan malah juga loh untuk ini: sekitar Rp 1.600.000,- grrrr... . Tapi paling gak sekarang saya belajar satu hal penting sih, haha... . Sekarang saya rada paranoid dah untuk masang semua kabel pada saat hujan deras di luar sana, LOL. Sangat mungkin hal itu menyebabkan uang segitu banyak untuk terbang dengan bebasnya, LOL. Makanya kan kemarin waktu ujan deres selama sekitar 30 menit aku langsung dah matiin internet dan nyopot semua kabelnya, LOL.Ngomong2, minggu ini adalah minggu terakhir sebelum minggu ujian akhir yang dimulai minggu depan neh. Wah!! Ga kerasa semester ini cepat juga yah berlalunya!! Hmm, minggu ini, untung udah ga ada tugas lagi untuk dikumpul, yeah. Namun, 2 kuis menunggu neh (besok Jumat dan Sabtu) Ngomong2, akhir2 ini entah kenapa saya lagi ada mood buat masak sendiri loh, LOL. Hmm, bukan jenis masakan yang menantang dan super canggih lah (mana bisa saya? hahaha... :D), tapi yang simpel2 dan instan aja dah, misalnya cornet, telor dadar, omelet, dan juga sandwich hahaha.... . Plus, ternyata bisa menghemat lumayan juga loh, hmmm
Yeah, akhirnya aku dapet laptopku lagi. Laptopku udah bener lagi dan bekerja dengan normal!! Yeaahh!! Setelah sebulan menderita akhirnya bebas juga deh. Karena ga ada hal yang spesial yang terjadi, sesuai janji, aku update blog private-ku deh. Ini dia
posting private ke-dua puluh lima uda di-publish.KLIK DISINI buat masuk ke blog private.

ENGLISHOkay, finally the damn month has passed. Today we start the month of May. I think by far it has gone pretty well, not like April where I start the month with a "damn storm tragedy" which went thru the whole month.Anyway, update about my laptop, yesterday afternoon I called hp and the technician said even after he changed the speaker device, the problem was still there. He asked for a permission to reinstall my laptop and I allowed him to do so. I said to him no matter what would happen I will take my laptop on Friday. Friday, it means it will be late for 4 days!! Hmmm!! Yesterday evening (while watching American Idol, haha...) he called me again and said that all problem had been fixed!! Yeah!!!! :) So tomorrow afternoon I'm gonna take my laptop and hopefully it's really back to normal. It's so 'sad' today is a national holiday so I can't take my laptop today, damn...Anyway, watching American Idol this week, I dun think this week is the best week of all. Everything was so in a hurry and chaotic. There was an interesting thing which happened. After the first performance, Paula commented on two Jason's performances while he had only sung 1 song, LOL. Plus, I think Simon's comment:"Jason, forgettable, David Cook, just above average, Brooke, a nightmare, David Archuleta, it was amateurish, Syesha, it was old-fashioned"LOL, it was short, very clear, and cruel, LOL. This is the list of my most favorite to least favorite:1/2. David Cook/Syesha Mercado3. David Archuleta4. Brooke White5. Jason CastroBut then, Brooke White got voted off. Well, not like the usual show, Seacrest didn't announce the bottom two. Eventho it was Syesha and Brooke up there but he NEVER said it was the bottom two, hmmm... . I dun think Syesha was in the bottom two tho. Arrrgghhh, why Brooke? This week I think it's Jason who deserve to get voted off
::: Brooke White who got voted off this weekBAHASA INDONESIAOke, akhirnya bulan menyebalkan berlalu sudah. Hari ini kita memulai bulan Mei. Aku rasa sejauh ini baik2 saha, gak kaya April yang dimulainya aja sudah dengan "tragedi badai sialan" yang berlanjut sepanjang bulan.Ngomong2, apdet tentang laptop saya, kemarin siang aku nelpon hp dan kata teknisinya walau sudah mengganti speaker-nya namun masalahnya masih tetap ada. Dia minta izin untuk mencoba meng-instal ulang laptopku dan aku sih oke-oke saja. Aku bilang ke dia gimana pun hasilnya pokoknya Jumat laptop akan aku ambil. Begitu Jumat, berarti kan sudah telat 4 hari tuh!! Hmmm!! Kemarin sore gitu (waktu lagi nonton American Idol, haha...) dia menelepon saya dan bilang kalo semua masalahnya sudah beres!! Yeah!!!! :) Jadi besok siang aku akan ngambil laptopku dan semoga akan segera balik ke normal deh. 'Sedih' juga ya hari ini kan tanggal merah jadinya aku nggak bisa ngambil laptopku hari ini, siyal...Ngomong2, nonton American Idol minggu ini, aku rasa ini bukan minggu terbaik deh. Semuanya terkesan terburu-bruu dan agak kacau. Ada hal yang menarik yang terjadi. Setelah penampilan pertama Paula ngasi komen tentang dua penampilannya Jason padahal dia kan baru nyanyi 1 lagi, LOL. Plus, aku rasa komentarnyaSimon:"Jason, forgettable, David Cook, just above average, Brooke, a nightmare, David Archuleta, it was amateurish, Syesha, it was old-fashioned" (Jason, mudah terlupakan, David Cook, hanya di atas rata2, Brooke, mimpi buruk, David Archuleta, agak amatir, Syesha, kuno)LOL, benar2 singkat, padat, sangat jelas, dan kejam, LOL. Ini list favorit saya dari paling fav sampe paling ga suka:1/2. David Cook/Syesha Mercado3. David Archuleta4. Brooke White5. Jason CastroTapi kemudian, Brooke White etrsisih. Hmm, ga kaya biasanya, Seacrest ga mengumumkan 2 terendahnya. Walau yang terakhir kan Syesha dan Brooke tuh tapi dia NGGAK PERNAH mengatakan itu dua terendahnya, hmmm... . Aku nggak merasa Syesha adalah dua terbawahnya sih. Arrrgghhh, kenapa Brooke? Minggu ini harusnya Jason tu yang out

Okay, now it has been about one month since my beloved laptop broke down. Last week when I brought my laptop to hp service center, they promised me this week's Monday (which is yesterday) it would have been fixed. However, last Friday when I called them to ask about the progress, they said the spare part they got from Jakarta was error and they gotta reorder again and it would arrive on Monday. So yes, there's no chance it's gonnabe okay on Monday. Shoot. They usually need 1 day to assemble the spare part and test it. So assuming it's alright I thought it would have been finished today (Tuesday). Monday afternoon, I called them and they said I could probably take it Wednesday morning. Okay, I'm fine with Wednesday. Today, they called me and said that they have fixed the problem (wah! I was relieved for a while). Why a 'while'? Because I had a bad feeling about it.
However, they found another problem (DAMN!!). Apparently the sound device was also broken! What!?!? Before, there was no sound produced by the speaker and I could only hear really low voice when I plug the earphone in. Nowthey said that if we plug the earphone in, it would work normally but still, there's no sound produced without the earphone. Dang!! Okay, so I asked them to check it and also the important part, the ethernet connection. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna ring them again. Thursday is national holiday so probably I will get my laptop back next Friday. Shoot... :(
Anyway, April has really been a damn month. My error laptop, a lot of things to do on campus (the election, the 'Company Visit', the assignments, etc), and some clashes (I will write another one about it within some days in my private blog). Phiuhhh..... . I'm so relieved now after I pass all those things, but the laptop thingy still haunts me...

Oke, sekarang sudah hampir sebulan neh sejak laptop tercinta saya rusak. Minggu lalu waktu aku bawa laptopku ke pusat servisnya hp, mereka janji tu Senin minggu ini (yang berarti kemarin) laptopku akan sudah beres. Namun, Jumat kemarin kan aku telpon mereka untuk nanya kemajuan pengerjaan dan mereka bilang spare part yang mereka dapat dari Jakarta tu rada error makanya mereka harus memesan lagi tu dari Jakarta dan baru akan sampai hari Senin. Jadi bener bgt, ga mungkin deh hari Senin laptopku akan beres. Sial. Mereka biasanya membutuhkan waktu satu hari untuk memasang spare part dan mengetesnya. Jadi dengan mengasumsikan ga ada masalah harusnya sih hari ini (Selasa) udah beres. Senin sore aku telpon mereka dan katanya bisa diambil deh Rabu pagi. Oke, Rabu nggak papa deh untuk saya. Hari ini mereka telpon saya bilang kalo masalahnya sudah dibenerin (wah! Aku cukup lega untuk sesaat). Kenapa 'sesaat'? Karena aku merasa firasat jelek deh.
Namun, mereka menemukan masalah lain (SIAL!!). Ternyata sound system-nya juga error! Apa!?!? Sebelumnya kan nggak ada suara tu yang keluar dari speakernya dan aku baru bisa denger suara yang sangat kecil sekali kalo aku masang earphone. Nah sekarang katanya kalo kita masang earphone suaranya tuh normal2 saja namun kalo nggak tetep aja nggak mau keluar suaranya. Sial!! Oke, jadi aku minta aja mereka mengeceknya dan yang penting, ngecek koneksi ethernet-nya deh. Pagi besok aku telpon lagi ah. Kamis kan hari libur nasional makanya kayanya baru balik Jumat ini deh. Siyal... :(
Ngomong2, April beneran bulan yang benar2 sialan deh. Laptopku error, banyak hal terjadi di kampus (Pemilu, 'Kunjungan Perusahaan', tugas2, dll) dan beberapa perselisihan (aku akan nulis 1 lagi tentang ini deh dalam beberapa hari di blog private). Phiuhhh..... . Aku lega nih sudah melewati semua itu namun ya tetep aja masalah laptop bener2 menghantui saya...

Damn blogspot. In the past 2 weeks I have experienced some uncomfortable things in Blogspot: I can't access my blog. Well, not all time of course, but it's so annoying. I dunno, is blogspot banned? Well,I dun think it's supposed to be banned tho. The interesting thing is that that situation occurred only when I surf the internet on this 'warnet', I dunno why. When I use the wi-fi connection I never experienced the problem. That's kinda weird. Anticipating that problem, I have considered to move to Wordpress. Now I'm still here tho since I haven't made up my mind since Wordpress has some weaknesses too. I think I'll wait until my laptop is fixed and we will see.
O yea, last Friday I called hp and they're late, shoot. My laptop will be fixed as early as Tuesday, hmmm... :( Hopefully it's gonnabe alright and back to normal.
Anyway, I have uploaded some pictures about our 'Company Visit' last Thursday. Here they are: (note: story about it can be read here)
::: one session at Bank Indonesia
::: Syafrudin Tower's Lobby
::: me at The Fountain (well, bad resolution, I took this pic with my camera phone. I haven't got the better resolution pictures from my friend's digital camera)

Blogspot sial. Dalam 2 minggu belakangan ini aku mengalami hal yang tak menyenangkan dah di Blogspot: Aku nggak bisa mengakses blogku. Hmm, nggak setiap kali sih kejadiannya tapi kan tetep aja tu menyebalkan. Aku nggak tau,apa blogspot di-ban? Hmm, mestinya sih aku rasa seharusnya sih enggak. Hal yang menarik adalah peristiwa tak terbukanya blogku ini cuma terjadi kalo aku internetan di warnet ini loh. Kalo misalnya aku pake koneksi wi-fi gitu aku ga pernah menemui masalah ini. Rada aneh deh. Mengantisipasi masalah, aku sudah mempertimbangkan untuk pindah ke Wordpress. Sekarang aku masih disini sih soale aku belum yakin juga mau pindah apa enggak soale kan Wordpress banyak kelemahan juga. Aku rasa keputusanku mending nunggu sampe laptopku bener deh dan kita lihat saja nanti.
O iya, Jumat kemarin aku telpon hp dan mereka telat, sial. katanya laptopku akan bener paling cepet Selasa,hmmm... :( Semoga beneran nggak papa dan semua balik kaya waktu dulu deh.
Ngomong2, aku sudah meng-upload beberapa foto2 'Kunjungan Perusahaan' kemarin Kamis loh. Foto-fotonya ada di atas (catatan: cerita tentang Kunjungan Perusahaan bisa dibaca disini)
ENGLISHWell, yeah Thursday is now passed. LOL. As you can read at some previous entries, yesterday I went to Jakarta for a 'Company Visit' and (unluckily) I was the project manager of the program.Well, overall the program went pretty well despite the fact that the crowdedness of Jakarta was beyond expectation. That thing caused we were late... :( Well, I hope the guys on Bank Indonesia understand it... :( After visiting Bank Indonesia we went downstairs (our class was on the 2nd floor of Syafruddin Tower). Unpredictably, they gave us a really good 'service'. There was a coffee break during the program (that was cool!). Plus, they gave us lunch! What!?!?!? We didn't know that and unfortunately we had prepared meals for our lunch from Bandung, duh... .Then, we went to Ancol and went to Sea World (some friends chose to be apart from us and had their own schedule). Then at 6.15 PM we left Jakarta and went back to Bandung. Undeniably, there were some flaws on the program. I could say it was because it was the first program held by us. There was no 'Company Visit' before causing we had no idea about what we were going to plan for the program during the planning time. Overall, I like the fact that it went well... :)Anyway, this week is the top 6 week of AI 7. I think, my top two: David Cook and Syesha Mercado. My bottom two: Jason Castro and Brooke White. They were the weakest, plus Brooke forgot the lyrics and decided to start over. It was a bit awkward. However, after 38 millions vote, the bottom two: Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson!! What!! Arrrggghhh, OMG. They didn't deserve to be there (now I hate Jason Castro even more, haha... 
). Daaammnnn... . However, from these two, Carly should go simply because Syesha was so great this week and she was not. Well, then Carly got voted off...
note: photos about yesterday's trip will be posted soon since now I forget to bring the cable data to this warnet, hahaha... :)
::: Bottom Two this week: Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson.
::: "Carly ... is leaving us tonight on American Idol"BAHASA INDONESIAHmmm, yeah Kamis terlewati sudah, LOL. Seperti yang bisa dibaca di beberapa posting sebelumnya kan kalo kemarin aku pergi ke Jakarta untuk 'Kunjungan Perusahaan' dan (sialnya) aku adalah ketua program (project manager) dari acara ini.Hmmm, secara keseluruhan acaranya berjalan dengan lancar sih kecuali fakta bahwa kemacetannya Jakarta itu benar-benar melebihi ekspektasi. Hal itu membuat kami terlambat... :( Semoga orang2 di Bank Indonesia maklum sih... :( Habis mengunjungi Bank Indonesia kita ke bawah (kan acaranya ada di lantai 2 Menara Syafruddin tuh). Tak terduga, mereka memberika 'servis' yang bagus bgt loh. Sampe ada coffee break segala di tengah acara (keren dah!). Plus, mereka juga ngasi kita makan siang. Apa!?!?!?!? Kita nggak tahu itu dan sayangnya kan kita juga udah nyiapin makan siang dari Bandung tuh, duh... .Trus, kita pergi ke Ancol dan ke Sea World deh (beberapa memilih untuk memisahkan diri dan jalan2 sendiri sih). Sebenarnya dari awal aku uda ngerencanain mending ke Dufan aja, cuma kalo masuk Dufan kan lebih mahal trus baru sempet masuk jam 2 siang paling cepet, rugi lah... . Trus jam 6.15 sore kita meninggalkan Jakarta dan balik menuju Bandung. Tak terelakkan kalo pasti ada deh kekurangan dari acara ini. Yah soalnya gimana lagi soalnya kemarin tu programnya pertama kali diadain sih. Belum pernah ada tu 'Kunjungan Perusahaan' sebelumnya makanya kan kita jadi bener2 ga ada gambaran tentang apa yang akan kita adakan pada waktu perencanaan. Secara keseluruhan sih aku senang dengan program ini soalnya berjalan lancar sesuai dengan rencana.... :)Ngomong2, minggu ini adalah minggu 6 besar AI 7. Aku rasa, dua teratasku: David Cook dan Syesha Mercado. Dua terendahku : Jason Castro dan Brooke White. Mereka tu yang terlemah, ditambah lagi Brooke lupa lirik dan memutuskan untuk ngulang tuh waktu nyanyi. Suasananya ganjil bgt. Namun, setelah 38 juta suara yang masuk, dua terendahnya: Syesha Mercado dan Carly Smithson!! Apa!! Arrrggghhh, OMG. Mereka nggak berhak tu masuk 2 terbawah (sekarang aku makin membenci Jason Castro dah, haha... ). Siaaaalll... . Namun dari dua ini ya memang Carly sih yang harus out, soalnya ya sederhana aja, Syesha bagus bgt minggu ini dan dia enggak. Hmm, kemudian Carly tersisih...
catatan: foto2 tentang perjalanan kemarin akan di upload kemudian deh ya soale sekarang aku lupa ni untuk bawa cable data ke warnet ini, hahaha... :)
