ENGLISHWell, this weekend has been filled with some damn stuffs. Last Sunday, the whole day, this internet cafe was closed, I think it was because of maintenance. Damnit, I was internet-free the whole day (well, not 100% internet-free tho since I could still access it using my cellphone, but I didn't browse all the webs since it costs pretty expensive, haha... . Therefore I just accessed mainly Facebook).Today (and tomorrow) I participate on one math competition. Well, honestly, on this one, I'm not really setting a high target since I also have some considerations about the aftermath, hmmm... . Because of my participation, I have to miss two final exams this Monday and Tuesday. Well, of course because I participate on this competition on behalf of my university, of course I get the exemption and can take the tests later.Today I also got a bad news saying the apparently the service of my laptop will take more time than I expected. They (the service center) ordered a spare part from their main office in Jakarta last week, and apparently, after it was being installed, the new spare part itself had a trouble. So, they had to reordered another spare part from Jakarta, damnit!! I really hope it's done soon!!Anyway, today I watched the season finale of The Amazing Race 14. All teams left Beijing, China to Maui, Hawaii. I am very happy with the result where Tammy and Victor won the race with Cara & Jaime in the second place and Margie & Luke in the third place. This season really has been one of the best season ever!! I enjoy this season so much!! :)

BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, wiken ini terisi dengan beberapa hal menyebalkan neh. Minggu kemarin, sepanjang hari, ni warnet tutup, kayanya sih karena perawatan komputer. Sial, makanya kemarin seharian hidupku tanpa internet deh (ya nggak 100% tanpa internet sih, setidaknya aku masih bisa akses pake hp, tp kan tetep aja gabisa browse semua karena mahal, haha... . Makana kemarin sh terutama akses Facebook saja).Hari ini (dan besok) aku berpartisipasi di sebuah kompetisi matematika. Hmm, jujur, untuk ang satu ini, aku tidak menargetkan tinggi-tinggi karena aku juga memiliki pertimbangan ke depannya sendiri, hmmm... . Karena partisipasiku ini aku jadi nggak bisa ikutan dua ujian akhir yang diadain Senin ini dan Selasa besok. Ya tentu saja karena aku mewakili universitas dalam kompetisi ini, aku mendapat pengecualian dan berhak ikut ujian susulan nanti.Hari ini aku juga mendapat berita tak terlalu baik ternyata servis laptopku akan membutuhkan waktu lebih alam dari perkiraanku. Mereka (pusat servisnya) memesan spare part kan dari kantor pusat mereka di Jakarta minggu lalu, dan ternyata setelah spare part nya diinstal, spare part baru itu bermasalah. Sial. Makanya mareka harus mengorder ulang spare part dari Jakarta lagi, sial!! Mudah2an selesai segera neh!!Ngomong2, hari ini aku menonton final dari The Amazing Race 14. Semua tim meninggalkan Beijing, Cina menuju Maui, Hawaii. Aku sangat senang dengan hasilnya dimana Tammy & Victor menang dengan Cara & Jaime di posisi kedua dan Margie & Luke di posisi ketiga. Musim ini beneran merupakan salah satu musim terkeren!! Ak benar2 menikmati musim ini!! :)
ENGLISHWell, this exciting week is coming to an end, haha... . Next Monday is gonnabe the first day of my two weeks final examination weeks this semester.Anyway, on Monday the 25th, my friends and I are going to Jakarta again (wew, the fourth time to go to Jakarta this year, the second this month only, hmmm), this time we will go to Dunia Fantasi, haha... . Therefore, yesterday afternoon we went to a travel agent to pay the DP for that trip. After that, we had a culinary day, LOL.First, we went to a warung bakso in Pasteur. Well, it was the afternoon in Bandung, and as a typical one, traffic jam was everywhere. It took us about 1 hour just to get there, haha. There, I think we met Tompi (an Indonesian artist), haha. After that, we headed to Jalan Aceh to eat kwee tiauw. Well, just to turn around on Pasteur took 30 minutes! Darn it traffic jam!! Anyway, finally we arrived there and ordered fried kwee tiauw and kweetiauw "siram". Well, they were tasty I think, especially the "kweetiauw siram" since it was really unique, hmmm... . After that, we went to DU to buy sate padang, haha... .See, yesterday really was a culinary day, LOL...

Senin besok akan menjadi hari pertama dari dua minggu ujianku semester ini.Ngomong2, Senin tanggal 25 nanti, aku dan teman2 akan pergi ke Jakarta lagi (wew, yang keempat kalinya tahun ini, dan kedua kalinya dalam bulan ini saja, hmmm), kali ini kita akan pergi ke Dunia Fantasi, haha... . Makanya, kemarin siang aku dan temenku pergi ke sebuah travel agent untuk membayar DP perjalanan itu. Setelahnya, hari kuliner deh, LOL.Pertama-tama, kita pergi makan bakso di Pasteur. Yah, kemarin kan sudah sore tuh, dan seperti sore-sore lainnya, macetnya parah sekali dan dimana2. Membutuhkan waktu sejam loh untuk pergi kesana, haha. Disana, kayanya kita ketemu Tompi (artis Indonesia) deh, haha. Setelahnya kita menuju Jalan Aceh untuk makan kweetiauw. Hmm, bahkan ya cuma untk mutar balik di Pasteur memakan waktu setengah jam loh! Dasar macet sialan!! Yah, akhirnya kita tiba disana dan memesan kweetiauw goreng dan kweetiauw siram. Menurutku enak tuh masakannya, terutama kweetiauw siramnya karena unik sekali menurutku, hmmm... . Setelahnya, kita ke DU untuk makan sate padang, haha... .Nah kan, kemarin memang hari kuliner tuh, LOL...
ENGLISHWell, yesterday finally I had a chance to bring my laptop to the service center to get it fixed. Hopefully it will be back really soon as they promised it should be finished in three days max, hmmm...Anyway, this Thursday has kinda been a bit tiring but fun. Today there was a "Dies Natalis" (anniversary) of my faculty on campus. Of course, for the third time in a row, haha, my friends and I came and joined the celebration. But this year is kinda a special occasion since I was invited, personally (well, that made me invited as TWO people, as a regular student and as the head of student committee of my department), to attend the celebration. This was because I was chosen to receive an award as the best student this year, haha... . Well, that's kinda fun and exciting for me. In the other hand, it's a challenge to prove myself even more!! Hmmm...Anyway, after the ceremonial celebration was over, we had a buffet lunch, haha. Then, in the afternoon my friends and I watched a movie on a cinema. Well, it has kinda been a whole for me to watch a movie. The last time I watched movie on cinema was FIVE months ago when I watched BOLT, haha. Anyway, we watched Monster vs Alien this time, in 3-D, so we got a 3-D glasses to watch it. Anyway, since there is no minus 3-D glasses, so I gotta wore it double with my glasses, LOL. I think I looked kinda funny when I did that (if there's enough light to see me but lucky there wasn't). Well, about the movie, I think it was interesting and quite exciting, except that I found the end was kinda okay, plain, and predictable. I rated it 3.5 out of 5, hehe... . Then, we had dinner at Warung Pasta.Well, watching American Idol, my prediction here was correct. Last week, Matt Giraud was voted off, and this week, it's Allison Iraheta's time, leaving Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, and Adam Lambert as this year's top three. I think this is a good and probably the best top three combination ever!! haha... . This season of American Idol is really exciting to watch!! :)BAHASA INDONESIAhmm, kemarin akhirnya aku memiliki kesempatan untuk membawa laptopku ke pusat servis dan menyervisnya. Mudah2an akan segera beres deh soalnya mereka janji maksimal tiga hari tuh servisnya, hmmm... Ngomong2, Kamis ini menajdi hari yang agak melelahkan tp menyenangkan juga. Hari ini ada "Dies Natalis" fakultasku di kampus. Tentu saja, untuk ketigakalinya berturutan, aku dan teman2 datang dong ikutan. Tapi tahun ini agak spesial neh karena aku diundang, secara personal (makanya ini membuat aku diundang sebagai dua pihak neh, sebagai mahasiswa biasa dan sebagai ketua himpunan mahasiswa jurusanku), untuk menghadiri acaranya. Yah, ini karena ternyata aku terpilih menjadi mahasiswa terbaik jurusan tahun ini, haha... . Hmm, bener2 asik dan menyenangkan neh. Namun, di sisi lain, ini adalah tantangan bagi diriku loh!! Hmmm...Ngomong2, setelah perayaan seremonialnya selesai, kita makan siang buffet, haha. Kemudian, sorenya aku dan temen2 nonton film deh di bioskop. Hmm, sudah lama banget neh sejak aku terakhir nonton film di bioskop, yaitu terakhir ya LIMA bulan yang lalu. Waktu itu nonton film BOLT, haha. Ngomong2, kita tadi nonton Monster vs Alien dalam 3-D loh makanya kita pake kacamata 3-D untuk menontonnya, LOL. Nah, masalahnya kan ga ada tuh kacamata 3-D yang minus, makanya aku pakenya harus dobel sama kacamataku jadinya bisa keliatan, LOL. Rasanya aku keliatan aneh seh ya tadi (kalo ada cahjhaya untuk bisa melihatku dan untungnya tadi tidak ada). Hmm, tentang filmnya, memang menarik sih, cuma sayangnya akhirnya saja yang biasa saja, agak datar, dan mudah ditebak. Aku kasi nilai 3,5 dh dari 5, hehe... . Trus kita makan malam di Warung Pasta. Tentang American Idol musim kali ini, prediksiku waktu ini benar loh. Minggu lalu, Matt Giraud tereliminasi dan minggu ini giliran Allison iraheta, menyisakan Kris Allen, Danny Dokey, dan Adam Lambert sebagai tiga besar musim ini. Aku rasa ini bener2 keren neh dan mungkin tiga besar terbaik yang pernaha da!! haha... . Musim ini dari American Idol benar2 menarik untuk diikuti!! :)
ENGLISHSo, yesterday I went to Jakarta (and Bogor). Because we would departed at 4 AM, so I had to get up at 2.30 AM since I han an extra task to pick the breakfast and lunch meals first. I made myself busy all Sunday, mainly with the seminar's final project. However, when the time to sleep came, I couldn't sleep well, damnit!! Anyway, I then got up at 2.30 AM, haha...Finally at 4.15 AM departed, after waiting for some late friends. Well, learning from last year's experience, I insisted that we had to depart earlier this time, 4.30 AM would be the latest. Departing after that could lead us to a nightmare since Jakarta was gonnabe very crowded, haha. Our prediction was right, it was so crowded, the traffic jam was super long extending from about Bekasi to the center to Jakarta. Finally, my plan worked. We arrived at 8.30 AM at IDX, not late, hehe... .At 9 AM it started and finished kinda fast, at 11 AM. It was way different with what I thought it would be like. I thought it would be more interactive. Anyway, it was fun tho and I learnt some things. After that, we continued our trip to Bogor to Safari Park, haha... . I was so excited because the last time I entered Bogor Safari Park was 14 years ago. At 1 PM we arrived there and did the safari ride. Then we walked around the Safari area, and it was kinda exciting. I took a picture with a baby Sumatran tiger on my lap (my friends have the photos tho, I haven't got it until now, so I think the photo will be uploaded next time, haha). We also watched some animal shows. The most exciting one was the brid of preys. I thought it would be the most boring but it turned to be the exact opposite. It was so cool!! haha... . Anyway, then at 5 PM we left Safari Park and after some dinner, we went back to Bandung. There was a bit change on a plan where we stopped by at Sadang, Purwakarte first (a shocking one!) since some friends wanted to bring some gifts. In the end, at 10.30 PM we arrived at Bandung.The damn thing was that my cellphone (and camera)'s battery was low, damnit!! I had to miss some good photo moments because of that (including my moment with the tiger, shoot!!)That was my Monday, the first exciting day of this exciting week, haha...

::: my dinner, grilled chickenBAHASA INDONESIAJadi, kemarin aku pergi ke Jakarta (dan Bogor sih). Karena akan berangkat jam 4 pagi, makanya aku harus bangun jam 2.30 pagi soalnya aku ada tugas untuk mengambil konsumsi makan pagi dan makan siang dulu. Aku menyibukkan diriku sepanjang Minggu, terutama dengan tugas akhir seminar. Namun, koq ketika waktu tidur tiba malah tiba2 jadi insomnia ya, sial!! Trus, akhirnya aku bangun jam 2.30 pagi, haha...Akhirnya, jam 4.15 pagi kita berangkat, setelah menunggu beberapa teman yang terlambat. Hmm, belajar dari pengalaman tahun lalu, aku bersikeras untuk berangkat lebih pagi kali ini, 4.30 pagi paling siang deh. Jika setelahnya baru berangkat, akan berpotensi menghasilkan mimpi buruk karena Jakarta akan rame banget, haha. Prediksi kita tepat, bener2 rame dan macetnya parah banget deh memanjang dari Bekasi sampe pertengahan Jakarta. Yah, setidaknya rencanau berhasil sih, jam 8.30 pagi udah sampe di BEI, tak terlambat, hehe... .Jam 9 pagi acaranya dimulai dan selesai agak cepat, jam 11 pagi. Bener2 berbeda dari bayanganku tentang seperti apa acaranya akan menjadi. Aku kira akan jadi lebih interaktif dari kemarin tuh. Yah, pokoknya lumayan lah dan aku belajar beberapa hal. Setelahnya, kita melanjutkan perjalanan ke Bogor untuk ke Taman Safari, haha... . Aku bersemangat karena terakhir kali aku masuk ke Taman Safari Bogor tuh 14 tahun yang lalu lho. Jam 1 siang kita tiba disana dan melakukan tur safari tentu saja. Setelahnya kita jalan2 di area Taman Safari, dan menarik juga tuh. Aku berfoto dengan bayi Harimau Sumatra di pangkuanku (temen2ku seh yang bawa fotonya dan sampe sekarang blum dapat filenya neh, kayanya tuh foto nanti saja ya, haha). Kita juga nongon beberapa pertunjukan binatang. Yang paling keren ternyata yang pertunjukan burung pemangsa. Kirain itu akan menjadi yang paling membosankan tapi ternyata malah jadi kebalikannya. Keren bgt!! haha... . Trus jam 5 sore kita meninggalkan Taman Safari dan setelah makan malam, kita balik ke Bandung. Ada sedikt perubahan rencana yaitu akhirnya tiba2 koq mampir di Sadang, Purwakarta (mengangetkan tuh!) gara2 ada temen yg pengen beli oleh2. Akhirnya, jam 10.30 malem tiba deh di Bandung.Yang menyebalkan adalah batere hapeku (dan kamera) habis kemarin, sial!! Aku harus melewatkan beberapa momen fotoyang ok karenanya (termasuk momenku dengan harimau, sial!!)Itulah hari Senin saya, hari menarik pertama dari minggu menarik ini, haha...
ENGLISHPlease note that the word "exciting" on the title of this entry is between quote marks. Well, it's exciting mainly because of the reason I mentioned in my previous entry, because last week is finally over, haha. Weekend marks the end of that tiring week and as the start of the new relaxing and super exciting week. However, still this weekend is not that exciting, this is why there are "" marks bracketing the word exciting, haha... . I think I just kinda underestimated one assignment: seminar's final paper. On my original plan, I spared 7 hours this weekend to finish it, all of them on Saturday late night (of course extended to Sunday dawn, hahahaha). Well, actually I enjoy making that kinda assignment, I think I kinda like making papers. However, as the seven hours ran out, I had only finished about 55% of it!! WTF!! The materials I took this semester for seminar is kinda that much I think, hmmm.Of course, this Sunday I must finish it since the assignment is due one Wednesday. It's kinda a 'rush' because this Sunday I have to go to bed early since I have to get up at 3 AM. Yea, tomorrow (Monday) I'm going to Jakarta for a company visit. The first exciting thing about the new week, haha... . Therefore I was in a rush finishing the paper and it was not that 'fun', haha... . But now finally it's DONE!! Yeah... . Well, not 100% tho, but it is already 97% done I think. So in total, I spent like 13 hours to finish it, instead of 7.That's pretty much what I have done this weekend, working on one big final assignment, hahaha...BAHASA INDONESIAPerhatikan bahwa kata "exciting" di judul dari posting ini berada di antara tanda kutip. Hmm, memang wiken ini menarik karena ya seperti alasan yang aku tulis di posting sebelumnya, yaitu karena akhirnya minggu lalu terlewati sudah, haha. Wiken kan menandai berakhirnya minggu yang melelahkan dan sebagai pemula dari minggu yang santai dan menyenangkan neh. Namun, tetap saja wiken ini tidak semenyenangkan itu. Nah, dari sinilah tanda kutip "" muncul mengurung kata exciting, haha... . Aku rasa aku 'meremehkan' sebuah tugas: tugas akhir makalah seminar. Nah, di rencana awalku, aku menyedakan waktu 7 jam untuk menyelesaikannya, kesemuanya di Sabtu malam sekali (yang tentu saja berlanjut hingga Minggu subuh, hahahaha). Hmm, sebenernya aku suka sih mengerjakannya, kayanya memang aku suka bikin tugas kaya gitu. Nah, namun begitu tujuh jam habis, aku baru menyelesaikan 55% doank lho!! WTF!! Rasanya sih emang materi yang aku bahas semester ini lumayan banyak deh, hmmm. Tentu saja, Minggu ini aku harus menyelesaikannya soalnya tugasnya harus dikumpul Rabu. Bener-bener keburu-buru karena Minggu ini aku haris tidur awal neh soalnya nanti harus bangun jam 3 subuh. Yea, besok (Senin) aku akan ke Jakarta untuk ikutan Kunjungan Perusahaan. Ini adalah hal menarik pertama dari minggu yang baru, haha... . Makanya aku tadi buru2 juga menyelesaikannya dan jadi kurang 'asik' aja bikinnya, haha... . Yah, yg penting sekarang sudah SELESAI!! Yeah... . Hmm, blum 100% bener sih, tp udah sekitar 97% rasanya. Jadi, totalnya aku menghabiskan waktu 13 jam untuk mengerjakannya dari rencana awal yang hanya 7 jam.Itu sih kurang lebih apa kerjaanku weekend ini, bekerja pada salah satu tugas akhir yang besar, hahaha...
ENGLISHWell, this week has been very tiring. I'm really excited to welcome next week, haha... :) Not like the typical week before final exam (the next next Monday will start the final exam weeks this semester, wah, time really flies!! Now I'm going toward the end of one more semester!!), next week is not gonnabe as exhausting as this week. It feels that all assignments have to be done this week. This is probably because next Monday we will go to Jakarta for this year's Company Visit, next Thursday is gonnabe my faculty's anniversary, then next week's Saturday is gonnabe a national holiday, hmmm. O yea, finally this week is the last week for seminar's presentation!! haha... . It was my eleventh presentation and I think all presentations I did were smooth (except presentation 10 tho, it was a bit rough I think, hehe). But overall I'm satisfied with my performance. Anyway, I decided to buy a green bag today. It's a part of my effort of being more green: reducing the number of plastic bags I use. So, when I go groceries shopping, I won't use that many plastic bags anymore. Well, for now it doesn't necessarily reduce the plastic using number to zero, but it drags the number down, a good thing, rite? haha... . Well, I encourage you guys to also do this, reduce the number of plastic bags we use, and fight global warming!!! hehe
::: a green bag I bought today.BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, minggu ini benar2 melelahkan nih. Aku benar2 ingin menyambut minggu depan deh, haha... :) Tidak seperti tipikal seminggu sebelum ujian (ya Senin dua minggu lagi adalah permulaan masa Ujian Akhir semester ini, wah, waktu benar2 cepat yah!! Sekarang tiba2 aku sudah berada di penghujung satu semester lagi!!), minggu depan malah akan menjadi tidak semelelahkan minggu ini. Mungkin karena Senin depan kami akan ke Jakarta untuk Kunjungan Perusahaan tahun ini, trus Kamis akan ada Dies Natalis Fakultas, dan Sabtu depan adalah tanggal merah yah.O iya, akhirnya minggu ini adalah minggu terakhir presentasi seminar!! haha... . Kemarin itu adalah presentasi kesebelas dan rasanya semua presentasiku lancar-lancar saja deh (ya mungkin kecuali presentasi 10 mungkin ya yang agak tersandung sedikiiit, hehe). Tapi secara keseluruhan aku puas dan lega sih dengan performaku.Ngomong2, aku memutuskan untuk membeli green bag (tas hijau) hari ini. Ini adalah baguan dari usahaku untuk menjadi lebih "hijau" : mengurangi penggunaan tas plastik. Jadi, nanti kalo harus belanja untuk keperluan sehari-hari gitu aku ga akan membutuhkan tas plastik sebanyak itu lagi. Hmm, ini tidak berarti mengurangi jumlah penggunaan tas plastik menjadi nol sih, tapi ini benar-benar menyeret penggunaannya turun lho. Lumayan juga kan?? haha... Jadi, aku mengajak kalian semua untuk ikut melakukan ini, mengurangi sampah plastik, dan melawan pemanasan global!!! hehe
