ENGLISHBefore I start writing about Wednesday, let me start from Tuesday Story just a lil' after I had my LOGIC class. My LOGIC class was finished at 2.30 PM, and as you can read at my previous entry, this change still hasn't been fixed yet and I still need to make it fixed by registering at PKH. So, after class, with the risk PKH had already been closed yet and I knew that risk, I walked to PKH. And yes, twas close and the man there said I should come back the next day (today) between 8 AM and 12 PM. Well, FYI, today Unpar celebrates Dies Natalis (Birthday) and because of that there was an announcement yesterday that today from 9 AM till 1 PM there would be no class. Well, I had one class at 9 AM till 11 AM, and I was happy since today, it was off!! :)With nice mood in starting the day (which is usually a good thing), at 9 AM I walked to my campus to go to PKH. Arriving there, the man said, because there was a Dies Natalis Ceremony, so I should come back at 1 PM since the guy who was responsible for this was at the ceremony. Okay, so I went back to my boarding house and went to a hotspot cafe.At 12.15 PM I went back home and at 12.40 PM I walked to PKH again. I arrived there at 12.45 PM and waited for 1 PM to come. Time was ticking, and 1 PM came. The guy was still not there. Then, at 1.15 PM, the guy finally came, and guess what?? He asked us (well, not only me who apparently wanted to change MKU's schedule) to come back tomorrow morning between 8 AM and 12 PM!!! ARRRGGGGHHHHH...... . Wtf?? I have been there 3 times and I got THE SAME ANSWER to go back there next time??? Sh*t!! That's not my fault, I came there exactly at the time they mentioned and they canceled it with lame (or even NO) reason?? That really sucks!!! :( :(Okay, with a lil' anger feeling, I went back home and took a nap for 1 hr. At 2.30 PM I woke up and at 2.45 PM I went back to my campus to have my Second Calculus Lecture. Arriving there, I met my friends and they said that the lecture was canceled!! What!?!?!?!? (the first thing which popped up in my mind was: "Are you kidding me??"). I checked at the announcement board and there was no cancellation announcement and I thought they were just joking. But apparently, the were RIGHT!!! There was no lecture... . ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH..... . Well, then, we played cards until 5 PM.So, today I went to my campus 3 times and also got 'tricked' 3 times... :( :( Whatta Wednesday.... . If I knew that, I would have relaxed all the day
::: quick update ::: (Thu, 1st Feb 07, 6.32 PM)
Btw, finally this morning I was able to meet him and fix my schedule. So, if there is changing in schedule anymore, so Saturday will be officially my off-day!!! :)
BAHASA INDONESIASebelum aku memulai menulis tentang hari Rabu-ku, ijinkan saya menulis sedikit cerita Selasa sehabis aku mengikuti kelas LOGIKA. Kelas LOGIKA-ku selesai jam 2.30 siang, dan seperti yang bisa dibaca pada postinganku sebelumnya, perubahan ini masih belum permanen dan aku masih harus membuatnya permanen dengan mendaftar ke PKH. Jadi, habis kelas kemarin, dengan resiko PKH udah tutup dan aku tahu resiko itu, aku berjalan ke PKH. Dan bener aja, PKH-nya sudah tutup dan kata orang yang disana aku mendingan balik lagi keesokan harinya (hari ini) antara jam 8 pagi sampe jam 12 siang.Hmm, FYI, hari ini Unpar lagi merayakan Dies Natalis (Ulang Tahun) dan karena itu kemarin ada pengumuman kalo hari ini dari jam 9 pagi sampe jam 1 siang ga bakalan ada kuliah. Nah, kan aku ada kelas tuh jam 9 sampe jam 11, berarti kelasnya kan libur, dan saya merasa senang!! :) Dengan mood yang baik dalam memulai hari ini (yang biasanya adalah hal yang bagus), jam 9 pagi aku berjalan ke kampus untuk pergi ke PKH. Habis sampai disana, karena ada perayaan Dies Natalis, jadi orangnya ngomong ke aku kalo aku suru balik lagi jam 1 siang soale orang yang bertanggung-jawab atas hal ini lagi ada di perayaannya. Oke deh, jadi aku balik ke kosku dan kemudian pergi ke kafe hotspot. Jam 12.15 siang, aku balik ke rumah dan jam 12.40 siang aku balik ke PKH lagi. Aku sampe jam 12.45 siang dan menunggu jam 1 untuk datang. Waktu berdetak, dan akhirnya jam 1 datang juga. Tapi orangnya masih blom dateng. Nah, akhirnya jam 1.15 orangnya datang dan tebak bagaimana?? Dia meminta kami (hmm, nggak cuma saya saja yang pingin mengganti jadwal MKU ternyata) untuk balik lagi besok antara jam 8 pagi - 12 siang!! ARRRGGGGHHHHH...... . Wtf?? Aku udah kesana 3 kali dan mendapatkan JAWABAN YANG SAMA untuk balik lagi lain waktu?? An***g!! Itu kan bukan kesalahan saya, aku dateng kesana tepat di waktu yang mereka sebutkan dan mereka membatalkannya dengan (atau malah TANPA) alasan (yg payah)?? Menyebalkan sekali!!! :( :( Okay, dengan sedikit perasaan marah, saya balik ke kos dan tiduran deh selama 1 jam. Jam 2.30 sore aku bangun dan jam 2.45 sore aku pergi ke kampus untuk ikut kuliah Kalkulus Dua. Habis sampai disana, aku ketemu temen-temenku dan mereka bilang kalo kelasnya dibatalkan!! Apa!?!?!?!? (hal pertama yang muncul di pikiran saya adalah: "Mesti bercanda nih"). Aku mengecek ke papan pengumuman tapi nggak ada pengumuman pembatalan kelasnya dan aku kira mereka ya cuma bercanda doank. Tapi ternyata mereka BENAR!!! Tadi nggak ada kuliah... . ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH..... . Ya udah, trus aku main kartu deh sampe jam 5 sore. Jadi, hari ini aku ke kampus 3 kali dan juga 'tertipu' 3 kali... :( :( Benar-benar Rabu.... . Tau gitu kan aku santai-santai aja hari ini
::: apdet cepet ::: (Kms, 1 Feb 07, 6.32 PM)
Btw, akhirnya pagi ini aku bisa bertemu sama orangnya dan memastikan jadwal saya. Jadi, klo gak ada perubahan jadwal lagi, Sabtu akan menjadi hari libur saya secara resmi!!! :)
ENGLISHAs you can read at my previous entry, last weekend was an exhausting weekend for me where I had to go on hiking and some TA programs. Unfortunately, there was no compensation for the exhaustion I got. We still had a normal college-day on Monday. I got a class (Computer Programming Worklab) at 8 AM in the morning (the class was not canceled just like last week >> but that's okay, if it was canceled yesterday, I would be so pissed... :D Then, the class was finished at 10 AM. Well, as you can read at my other previous entry, I hate the new arrangement of my MKUs schedule and planned to change it. Actually, one alternative was taking the 10 AM Class on Monday, which I am free. But I have one consideration. My Programming Lecturer (usually) only gives us 1 week time to finish the assignment, and if I used my free time at Monday 10 AM, I then can't right after the class work on my unfinished assignment and finish that that day also. So, I decided not to take the Monday 10 AM class (well, 2 friends of mine take it anyway). At 1 PM, I got another lecture, Second Calculus. Unfortunately, I couldn't really concentrate on it since I was so exhausted and next week, there will be a quiz!! Arrrggghhhh.... . At 3 PM, my college-day finishedThis morning, my college day started at 7 AM and finished at 1 PM. Then, since I don't take the Monday 10 AM Class, so I choose to take the Tuesday 1 PM Class (well, Monday 10 AM Class and Tuesday 1 PM Class are about the same subjects, LOGIC, where I still have another MKU subject which I take this semester, Kewarganegaraan (I dunno how to translate it in English.. :D), which we (my friends and I) choose to take at Thursday 1 PM). Well, I was also so tired today... :( Well, it also means that Tuesday becomes the hardest day for me of the week this semester since I have lectures from 7 AM till 3 PM >> that's a bit 'ironic', last semester, Tuesday is the least tiring day of the week since twas my free-day!! :DThe changes I have made is still not fixed yet, and tomorrow I'm gonna make it fixed... :) If it's fixed later, so I will be absolutely free on Saturday!! (and no 7 AM class on Friday!! Yaaaayyyy.... :D)
BAHASA INDONESIASeperti yang bisa dibaca pada postingan yang lalu, akhir minggu kemarin adalah akhir minggu yang melelahkan untuk saya karena aku harus pergi hiking dan ikut program TA. Malangnya, nggak ada kompensasi atas kelelahan yang saya dapatkan. Kita masih mengikuti hari normal di hari Senin. Aku ada kuliah (Praktikum Pemrograman Komputer) jam 8 pagi (kelasnya nggak dibatalkan seperti minggu lalu >> tapi nggak papa sih, kalo kemarin dibatalkan aku malah jadi sebel tu... :D Trus, kelasnya selesai jam 10 pagi. Hmm, seperti yang bisa dibaca pada postingan lalu saya yang lain, aku benci penataan jadwal MKUku yang baru dan berencana untuk mengubahnya. Sebenernya satu alternatif adalah mengambil kelas jam 10 pagi di hari Senin, dimana aku kosong. Tapi aku punya 1 pertimbangan. Dosen Pemrogramanku (biasanya) cuma ngasi waktu 1 minggu untuk menyelesaikan tugas, dan kalo aku menggunakan waktu kosongku jam 10 pagi hari Senin, aku kan jadi nggak bisa mengerjakan tugas yang belum selesai tepat setelah kelas dan menyelesaikan hari itu juga. Jadi, aku memutuskan untuk tidak mengambil kelas jam 10 pagi (2 temenku tetep ngambil sih). Jam 1 siang, aku kuliah lagi, Kalkulus Dua. Sayangnya, aku nggak bisa bener2 konsentrasi soale aku capek banget sih dan minggu depan, akan ada kuis!! Arrrggghhhh.... . Jam 3 sore, hari-hari kuliahku selesai Pagi ini, hari kuliahku dimulai jam 7 pagi dan selesai jam 1 siang. Trus, karena aku nggak ngambil kelas hari Senin jam 10, jadi aku memutuskan untuk ngambil kelas hari Selasa jam 1 siang (Hmm, Senin jam 10 dan Selasa jam 1 tuh aku ngomongin jadwal tentang mata kuliah yang sama loh, LOGIKA, aku masih ada 1 mata kuliah MKU lagi yang aku ambil semester ini, Kewarganegaraan, yang kami (aku sama temen2ku) memutuskan untuk mengambilnya besok Kamis jam 1 siang). Aku juga capek bgt hari ini... :( Btw, artinya Selasa jadi hari paling berat deh semester ini, kuliah dari jam 7 pagi sampe jam 3 sore >> agak 'ironis' juga sih, padahal semester lalu Selasa adalah hari paling bebas saya soalnya ga ada kuliah tuh!! :DPerubahan yang aku ambil masih belum tetap sih, dan besok aku akan membuatnya jadi tetap... :) Kalo udah tetap, jadi aku benar-benar akan bebas di hari Sabtu!! (dan juga nggak ada kelas jam 7 pagi di hari Jumat!! Yaaaayyyy.... :D)
ENGLISHHello all, as you can read at my previous entry, I spent this weekend with my fellas at a villa for a TA (Temu Akrab). Well, I didn't really explain what TA is at my previous entry, so probably some of you don't really understand. Well, "TA" is an abbreviation of "Temu Akrab", it's an informal program held by my major where some mathematics students from any classes would meet and spend one night together. Just like its name (Temu Akrab), the main purpose of this program is to especially introduce the youngest class (now it's my class, 2006) to the seniors, so we (hopefully) will get along really nicely and become closer as friends (well, for some not only as 'friends' actually, lol) in one major.Day 1 (Saturday, 27th January 2007)This year, TA was held by the 2004 class. They decided this TA would take place at Istana Bunga Villa. So yesterday, according to the schedule, we should have departed at 2 PM. But because I live in a country named "Indonesia", the fact was that yesterday we departed at 2.45 PM. Arrrggghhhh.... (well, I always come on time... :D). At 4 PM we arrived at the villa. At 5 PM we got a game to do and we were separated into 4 groups and I was in the group 4. We were given a plastic of straws and 2 eggs plus a tape. We should do something to the eggs with the straws and tape so the eggs wouldn't be cracked or destroyed when we fell it to the ground. After the game was finished, we then had dinner. The dinner was also a farewell party for one of our young lecturer who will study for his doctoral degree at Netherlands starting next month... :) After the dinner there was a 'treasure-hunting' game. We gotta find a hidden 'treasure' by collecting 4 clues first. Well, we didn't get the 'treasure', but other team did... :( After that, we (as a class) had to perform a show (whatever show) in front of all. My class chose an easy one, singing... lol (2005 was drama, 2004 was 'star-stage'). Then, we had a cards competition (kinda bridge), since only 4 persons per-class were allowed to join the competition, so the other created another competition... :D Then, we had a barbeque (corn and banana) stuff and we were suggested to sleep since the next day we would go on hiking. But we DIDN'T!!Day 2 (Sunday, 28th January 2007)After midnight, my class took a walk around the villa area (and unfortunately a dog barked to us really loudly... :( ), then we went back to our villa and played a game. Three of my seniors, three of my friends and I played monopoly board game, where the other played cards again... :) At 2 AM, another senior aksed us to sleep, so at 2.15 AM we ended the game. Some friends were sitting and chatting at the porch and I joined them for several minutes, then I went to bed (the room was so small and limited, and luckily one place was still empty, so I slept there... :) I guess I started to sleep at 3.30 AM.At 6 AM, I woke up (arrrggghhhh, so I slept only for about 2.5 hrs). And I had breakfast only a slice of toast. Our plan this morning was 'hiking', and I was on the team number 4, and we would be the second to depart at 7.30 AM (schedule). Well, late once again, we departed at 8 AM. The hiking stuff was SOOO tiring. We took the longer track (it's not only longer but also pretty dangerous since twas SO slippery, inclining, declining, etc) Our destination was a small 'curug' (waterfall) with a small pond underneath it. There, we played a game. Easy to guess, it had something to do with water. We had 2.5 minutes to fulfil a basket with many leaks. Most of us (including me) got extremely wet because of this... :( :( :( The track back home was not so much different, it was another track but twas SOOO long and exhausting. I was damn exhausted today. After arriving at the villa, we had lunch and took a bath. At 2 PM, we went back to Bandung. Btw, because of the hiking stuff, I got sunburnt on my neck!! Now it's still pretty hurt... :( :(

Aku nggak terlalu menjelaskan apa itu TA pada postingan sebelumnya, jadi mungkin beberapa masih pada bingung ya apa itu TA. Hmm, "TA" adalah singkatan dari "Temu Akrab", yakni sebuah acara informal yang diadakan oleh jurusan saya dimana beberapa anak jurusan matematika dari angkatan berapapun ngumpul dan nginep bareng. Seperti namanya (Temu Akrab) bertujuan khususnya mengenalkan angkatan termuda (dalam hal ini angkatan saya, 2006) ke kaka angkatan, jadi kita (harapannya) akan berhubungan dengan sangat baik dan menjadi dekat sebagai temen (beberapa nggak cuma sebagai 'teman' sih, lol) dalam satu jurusan.Hari 1 (Sabtu, 27 Januari 2007)Tahun ini, TA dipegang sama anak angkatan 2004. Mereka memutuskan bahwa TA kali ini akan diadakan di villa Istana Bunga. Jadi kemarin, berdasarkan jadwal, seharusnya kita kan dah berangkat jam 2 siang. Tetapi karena saya tinggal di sebuah negara bernama "Indonesia", kenyataannya kemarin baru berangkat jam 2.45 siang. Arrrggghhhh.... (saya kan selalu tepat waktu... :D) . Jam 4 sore kita sampai di villa-nya. Jam 5 sore kita ada sebuah game dan kita dibagi menjadi 4 grup dan aku berada di kelompok ke-4. Kita diberi sebungkus plastik berisi sedotan, 2 buah telur, dan sebuah selotip. Nah, kita harus melakukan sesuatu pada telurnya dengan menggunakan sedotan dan selotip itu sehingga telurnya nggak akan retak ataupun rusak saat kita jatuhkan ke tanah. Habis game selesai, kita trus makan malam. Makan malamnya juga merupakan pesta perpisahan dengan seorang dosen muda kita yang akan pergi melanjutkan studi S3 (doktor) di Belanda mulai bulan depan.Habis makan malam, kita ada game 'berburu harta karun'. Kita harus menemukan 'harta karun' tersembunyi dengan mengumpulkan 4 petunjuk dulu pertamanya. Yah, kelompokku nggak dapet hartanya soale keduluan sama kelompok lain sih... :( Habis itu, kita (sebagai satu angkatan) harus mempersembahkan sebuah pertunjukan (pertunjukannya bebas) di depan semuanya. Angkatan saya milih yang gampang aja, nyanyi... lol (2005 drama dan 2004 'panggung bintang'). Trus kita ada kompetisi main kartu (cap sa / 13), dan karena cuma 4 orang dari 1 angkatan yang boleh main, yang lainnya juga membuat kompetisi sendiri... :D Trus, kita ada acara barbeque (jagung dan pisang) dan kemudian kita dianjurkan untuk tidur soale kan hari berikutnya bakalan ada hiking. Tapi kita ENGGAK!! Hari 2 (Minggu, 28 Januari 2007)Habis tengah malam, angkatan saya jalan-jalan bentar di sekitar villanya (dan sayangnya seekor anjing sialan menggonggong ke kita keras banget... :( ), trus kita balik ke villa dan main game deh. Aku sama 3 senior dan 3 temenku main monopoli dan temen2 yg lain main kartu lagi... :) Jam 2 pagi kita lagi-lagi disuru tidur, makanya jam 2.15 kita mengakhiri permainan. Beberapa temen lagi duduk-duduk di teras dan ngobrol dan aku ikutan bentar deh beberapa menit, trus bobok deh saya (kamarnya kan kecil dan terbatas, untung banget tuh ada 1 tempat yang kosong, saya kan jadi bisa tidur... :) Aku rasa aku mulai tidur jam 3.30 pagi deh. Jam 6 pagi, saya terbangun (arrrggghhhh, jadi saya tidur cuma sekitar 2,5 jam). Dan aku makan pagi cuma sepotong roti bakar saja. Rencananya pagi tadi kita akan 'hiking', dan aku ada di tim nomer 4 yang akan berangkat kemudian pada jam 7.30 pagi (jadwal). Hmm, telat sekali lagi, kita berangkat jam 8 pagi. Hikingnya bikin SANGAATTT capek loh. Kita ngambil jalur yang lebih panjang (dan lumayan berbahaya soale licin bgt, mendaki sekali, dan turunnya juga lumayan curam, dll).Tujuan kita adalah sebuah ;curug' (air terjun) kecil yang ada kolam kecil di bawahnya. Disana kita main game. Mudah ditebak, gamenya berhubungan dengan air. Kita disuru masukin air sebanyak2nya ke emper berlubang banyak selama 2,5 menit. Kebanyakan dari kita (termasuk saya) jadi basah sekali tuh karena ini... :( :( :( Perjalanan balik juga nggak beda-beda amat, merupakan jalur lain yang berbeda yang juga SANGATT jauh dan melelahkan. Aku capek bener nih hari ini. Habis sampe di villa, kita makan siang dan mandi. Jam 2 siang kita balik lagi ke Bandung, Btw, gara-gara hiking tadi, leher saya jadi terbakar matahari nih!! Skarang masih rada-rada perih juga... :( :(
ENGLISHLast night I watched the 12th episode of TARA. It was one of the most important episodes where we would find out who were the grand-finalist of TARA season 1.On the latest episode of TARA, all teams didn't have to leave United Arab Emirates. They had to leave the pitstart bounding for Desert Area Number 53 where they found out they had to do a Detour Task. The Detour Task was a choice between RIDE or SEEK. In Ride, teams had to ride a camel and grab 5 flags. In Seek, teams had to use a metal detector to find a camel souvenir buried beneath the sand. Then, they had to go to the Eye of Emirates (a ferris wheel, just like London Eye). There, they had to choose the correct cabin to find the next clue (only 5 of 42 of them correct). Then, they had to do a Road-Block Task at Al Maraqabat Restaurant and one of them had to eat traditional Arab Cuisine, brain. After completing it, they had to go to Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House and Wild Wadi Water Park to find the next clue. Then, they could proceed to the last pitstop of the race, at Mina A' Salam Beach. The final placing: Andrew&Syeon (1), Joe-Jer & Zabrina (2), Sandy&Francesca (3), and Mardy&Marsio (4 >> ELIMINATED). Arrrrggghhhh.... .
So sad Mardy&Marsio (Indonesian team) got eliminated, but that's okay. They had been extremely great and entertaining during the whole 12 episode they had completed. So, the final three were Andrew&Syeon (Malaysia), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (Malaysia), and Sandy&Francesca (Hong Kong). Who do I think would win the grand prize?? Hmmm, based on their performance from the first leg until the 11th leg, I think Andrew&Syeon were the strongest team... :) But it's also nice to see Joe-Jer&Zabrina won since if they really won, they would create a new history in The Amazing Race to be the first all-female team to win the race. (in fact, they were the SECOND all-female team to make it to the final three, after Lyn&Karlyn in TAR 10). We are still proud of you M&M!!! :)Btw, this Friday, I also had my ordinary college-day. I got up at 8.20 AM and after showering and having breakfast, I went to my campus to have my first lecture today at 9 AM (actually I was almost absent since twas raining, but I killed my tendency to absent). At 11 AM, my lecture finished and I met some 2004 seniors to talk about the TA (Temu Akrab) tomorrow... :) At 1 PM, my second lecture started. My lecturer of this second lecture (Linear Programming) is one of the eldest professor. Well, just as usual, I think he is extremely smart, but I guess he got one problem in teaching. He couldn't really explain the matery really well to us (compared to some other younger lecturers). O yea, according to the schedule, my Friday College-Day finishes at 4 PM, but this afternoon, it finished at 2 PM since my lecturer had an important business... . Btw, if my MKU is really on Friday, so on Friday, I would have to study at my campus starting at 7 AM until 4 PM with only 1 hr break at 12 PM till 1 PM!!!
::: quick update :::
Since this weekend I'm having a TA (Temu Akrab) with my fellows in math and we'll spend one night in a villa sumwhere (I dun remember the place), so this evening and tomorrow morning I won't be able to surf the net. Probably I'll be back tomorrow evening... :)
::: Top three of TARA season 1. From top to bottom: Andrew&Syeon (MY), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (MY), Francesca&Sandy (HK)
::: Mardy&Marsio / M&M (Indonesian Team), the last team to be eliminated
::: Leader-Board up to 12th episodeBAHASA INDONESIASemalam aku nonton episode ke 12 dari TARA. Episode ini adalah salah satu episode terpenting dimana kita akan mengetahui siapa saja grand-finalis dari TARA musim ke-1. DI episode terbaru dari TARA ini, semua tim ga harus meninggalkan Uni Emirat Arab. Mereka harus meninggalkan pitstart dan pergi menuju Desert Area No. 53 dimana mereka menemukan bahwa mereka harus melakukan tugas Detour. Tugas Detour-nya adalah pilihan diantara RIDE atau SEEK. Di Ride, mereka harus mengendarai unta dan mengambil 5 bh bendera. Di SEEK, mereka harus menggunakan alat pendeteksi logam untuk menemukan souvenir unta yang dikubur di dalam pasir. Kemudian, mereka harus pergi ke Eye of Emirates (kaya bianglala gitu, mirip sama London Eye). Disana, mereka harus memilih kabin yang benar untuk mendapatkan petunjuk selanjutnya (hanya 5 dari kesemua 42 kabin yang berisi petunjuk yang benar). Trus mereka harus melakukan Tugas Road-Block di Restoran Al Maraqabat dan salah satu dari mereka harus makan masakan Arab tradisional, otak. Habis menyelesaikannya, mereka mesti pergi ke Rumah Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum dan Wild Wadi Waterpark untuk menemukan petunjuk selanjutnya. Kemudian, mereka bisa pergi menuju ke pitstop di Pantai Mina A' Salam. Posisi akhirnya: Andrew&Syeon (1), Joe-Jer & Zabrina (2), Sandy&Francesca (3), dan Mardy&Marsio (4 >> TERELIMINASI). Arrrrggghhhh.... .
Sedih juga Mardy&Marsio (dari Indonesia) tereliminasi, tapi nggak papa sih. Mereka kan udah bener-bener hebat dan menghibur sekali selama 12 episode yang sudah mereka selesaikan. Jadi, tiga besarnya adalah Andrew&Syeon (Malaysia), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (Malaysia), dan Sandy&Francesca (Hong Kong). Siapa yang menurutku bakalan menang?? Hmm, berdasarkan penampilan mereka selama babak pertama sampai babak terakhir, menurutku Andrew&Syeon adalah tim yang terkuat... :) Tapi asik juga ya ngeliat Joe-Jer&Zabrina menang soale mereka akan mencetak sejarah baru dalam The Amazing Race untuk menjadi tim semua-wanita pertama yang memenangkan pertandingan. (pada kenyataannya, mereka adalah tim semua-wanita KEDUA yang masuk ke babak 3 besar, setelah Lyn&Karlyn). Btw, kita masih bangga loh sama M&M!!! :)Btw, Jumat ini, juga adalah hari kuliah saya yang biasa. Aku bangun jam 8.20 pagi dan habis mandi dan sarapan, aku pergi ke kampus untuk kuliah pertama hari ini jam 9 (tadi hujan tuh, nyaris ga kuliah, tapi gajadi bolos... :D). Jam 11 kuliah pertama saya selesai dan aku bertemu beberapa anak angkatan 2004 untuk ngobrol2 aja tentang TA (Temu Akrab) besok... :) Jam 1 siang kuliah kedua saya dimulai. Dosen saya pada kuliah kedua (Pemrograman Linear) ini adalah salah satu guru besar / professor tertua. Hmm, seperti biasa, menurutku beliau bener-bener pintar, tetapi ada masalah deh dalam pengajaran. Menurutku sih beliau agak nggak bisa menjelaskan dengan sangat jelas ke kita (kalo dibandingin sama dosen-dosen lain yang lebih muda sih). O iya, berdasarkan jadwal, hari kuliah Jumatku akan selesai jam 4 sore, tp tadi siang selesai jam 2 soale dosennya ada acara penting... . Btw, klo MKU-ku beneran jam 7 pagi mulainya, maka pada hari Jumat aku akan kuliah dari jam 7 sampe jam 4 sore dengan hanya 1 jam istirahat, dari jam 12 sampe jam 1!!!
::: apdet cepet :::
Karena akhir minggu ini aku akan mengikuti TA (Temu Akrab) sama temen-temen dari jurusan mat, dan kita akan nginep di sebuah villa di suatu tempat (aku ga inget tempatnya), makanya malam ini dan besok pagi aku nggak akan bisa internetan. Mungkin aku akan internetan besok sore deh... :)
ENGLISHAs you can read at my previous entry, according to my last schedule, I am free on Saturday. All classes of mine this semester (including 2 MKUs class) were held on Monday till Friday. I WAS really happy. Unfortunately, yesterday there was a changing. When I looked at my MKUs schedule, both were changed to Friday 7 AM and SATURDAY 7 AM!!! Arrrggghhhh... . I really hate this change for two reasons. First of all, they moved it to Saturday!! If this really is, so Saturday is no longer an off-day for me, and I don't have off-day in a week (well, except Sunday). Second, both are at 7 AM!!! Arrrggghhhh.... . That's so so so early in the morning!!! :( :( :( Luckily, I still have one last shot, PRS. So, I still can reschedule my MKUs and move them to another day(s) and time-slot which I like and really fit me. I'll strive my best to change this damn new schedule of MKUs. Wish Me Luck!!! :) Btw, lately, everyday it was raining here in Bandung. It usually didn't last really long, but it really sucks sometimes. First, when I am (was) in a hotspot cafe, my fave seat is at the balcony. Even though there is a shed, but when it rains, I dunno how, the water still can get through. It's not that bad actually, just few water drops, but it still bothers me. Second, it really sucks when it is raining when I have to go to my college from my boarding house or vice versa. Even though I bring umbrella, it's just not that comfortable to walk on a rainy day... :(BAHASA INDONESIASeperti yang bisa dibaca pada postingan yang lalu, berdasarkan jadwal terakhirku, aku libur di hari Sabtu. Semua kelasku semester ini (termasuk 2 kelas MKU) diadain pada hari Senin sampai Jumat. Aku sangat senang. Sayangnya, kemarin ada perubahan jadwal. Waktu aku lihat jadwal MKU-ku, jadwalnya keduanya diubah menjadi hari Jumat jam 7 pagi dan SABTU jam 7 PAGI!!! Arrrggghhhh... . Aku bener-bener benci perubahan ini karena 2 alasan. Pertama, mereka menggantinya ke hari Sabtu!! Kalo beneran ini terjadi, maka Sabtu bukanlah hari libur lagi untuk saya, dan aku jadi nggak punya hari libur dalam seminggu (kecuali Minggu sih). Kedua, keduanya jam 7 pagi!!! Arrrggghhhh... . Itu kan sangat sangat sangat pagi-pagi sekali!!! :( :( :( Untungnya, aku masih punya 1 kesempatan, PRS. Jadi, aku masih bisa mengatur jadwal MKUku dan merubahnya ke hari-hari lain dan jam yang aku suka dan pas untuk saya. Aku akan berjuang keras tuh untuk merubah jadwal baru MKU yang sialan ini. Doakan saya ya!!! :) Btw, akhir-akhir ini, tiap hari hujan loh di Bandung ini. Biasanya nggak lama-lama amat sih, tapi kadang-kadang menyebalkan. Pertama, kalo aku sedang ada di kafe hotspot, tempat favorit saya kan yang ada di balkonnya. Walaupun ada pelindungnya, nggak tau gimana, waku hujan tetep aja airnya bisa masuk. Nggak separah itu sih sebenernya, cuma beberapa tetes air kecil aja, tapi lumayan mengganggu saya deh. Kedua, sangat menyebalkan kalo hujan terjadi saat saya harus pergi ke kampus dari kos maupun sebaliknya. Walaupun aku bawa payung, tetep aja kan nggak nyaman kalo harus berjalan di hari yang sedang hujan... :(
ENGLISHFinally officially yesterday my 1 month holiday was over... :( As you can read at the ::: quick update ::: part of my previous entry, yesterday I caught Argo Wilis Express from Surabaya bounding for Bandung via Yogyakarta. So, at 10.40 AM my mom (who brought me to the station) and I left my home and went to Yogyakarta Tugu Railway Station. Otw, we dropped in at Mirota Bakery to buy some bread for my snack during the Yogyakarta - Bandung trip. At 10.55 AM, we left Mirota. Since according to the schedule the train would arrive at Yogyakarta Station at 11.31 AM (so it was still more or less 30 minutes), so we delivered some stocks first to Malioboro Mall. Then, at 11.15 AM, we arrived at the station.Well, at 11.20 AM, there was an announcement: "For all passengers of Argo Wilis..." Well, then I prepared myself and took my bags. "Argo Wilis Express will be late, it will arrive at Yogyakarta Tugu Railway Station approximately at 12.20 PM. Thanks for your attention". Arrrrggghhhh... . So it was still about 1 hour to go!! One hour is not so short, but also not so long so I could go somewhere. So, we had no other option than waiting for it until it arrived.At 12.30 PM, the train finally arrived. I got in my cart (Executive Cart 2), and at 12.35 PM, it left Yogyakarta Tugu Railway Station.>> FAST FORWARD >>At 7.30 PM, Argo Wilis arrived at Bandung Railway Station. There, I bought 2 boxes of meal at Hoka-Hoka Bento (1 for last night and 1 for this morning). Then, I caught a taxi to get back to my boarding houseBtw, today my college-days start. According to the schedule, this morning at 8 AM there would be a Computer-Programming Worklab Class. Well, at first I didn't really notice the word "worklab", so I just went to my campus. And apparently, there was NO class for today!! That makes sense actually, we haven't got the theory, so how could we do the worklab?? :) Btw, seemingly, this semester, I got only 1 off day during the week (excluding Sunday). Lesser than semester 1 where I got 2. But my off day this semester is SATURDAY!!! That's nice!! :) So I can get a pretty long weekend... :)
BAHASA INDONESIAAkhirnya secara resmi kemarin liburan satu bulanku selesai juga... :( Seperti yang bisa dibaca pada bagian ::: apdet cepet ::: dari postinganku sebelumnya, kemarin aku naik kereta ekspres Argo Wilis dari Surabaya tujuan Bandung via Yogyakarta. Jadi, jam 10.40 pagi, mamaku (yang mengantar saya ke stasiun) dan aku berangkat dari rumah dan menuju Stasiun Kereta Api Tugu Yogyakarta. Dalam perjalanan kita mampir di Mirota Bakery untuk beli beberapa roti untuk bekal selama perjalanan dari Yogyakarta tujuan Bandung. Jam 10.55, kita meninggalkan Mirota. Karena berdasarkan jadwal kereta akan sampai di Yogyakarta jam 11.31 pagi (jadi kan masih sekitar 30 menitan lah), jadi kita mengantarkan beberapa stok barang dulu ke Malioboro Mall. Trus, jam 11.15 pagi, kita sampai di stasiun. Hmm, trus jam 11.20 pagi, ada pengumuman tuh: "Kepada semua penumpang Kereta Api Ekspres Argo Wilis..." Ya trus kan aku siap-siap dan mengambil tas-ku. "Kereta Ekspres Argo Wilis akan mengalami keterlambatan dan diperkirakan akan sampai di Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta pada pukul 12.20 siang. Terima Kasih atas perhatiannya". Arrrrggghhhh... . Jadi ternyata masih 1 jam tuh!! Satu jam tu nggak pendek, tapi juga nggak sepanjang itu untuk pergi kemana dulu. Jadi, kita nggak ada pilihan lain selain ya menunggu sampai keretanya datang.Jam 12.30 siang, keretanya akhirnya sampai. Aku naik di gerbongku (Eksekutif 2), dan jam 12.35 siang, keretanya meninggalkan Stasiun Kereta Tugu Yogyakarta. >> FAST FORWARD >>Jam 7.30 malem, Argo Wilis sampai di Stasiun Kereta Api Bandung. Disana, aku beli 2 boks makanan di Hoka-Hoka Bento (1 untuk kemarin malem, dan 1-nya untuk pagi tadi). Trus, aku naik taksi deh untuk balik ke kos. Btw, hari ini hari-hari kuliahku dimulai. Berdasarkan jadwal, pagi ini jam 8 akan ada kelas Praktikum Pemrograman Komputer. Ya pertama aku nggak terlalu memperhatikan kata "praktikum", jadinya ya aku pergi aja ke kampus. Dan ternyata, NGGAK ada kelas loh!! Masuk akal sih, kita blom dapet teorinya masa mau langsung melakukan praktikum?? :) Btw, kayaknya semester ini nih, aku akan punya 1 hari libur deh (nggak termasuk Minggu loh). Lebih dikit dari semester 1 kemarin dimana aku punya 2 hari libur. Tapi hari liburku semester ini adalah SABTU!!! Bagus banget kan!! :) Jadi, aku bisa memiliki weekend yang lumayan panjang deh... :)
ENGLISHLast Friday was such a tiring day for me. I had no plan with my friends, so when last Thursday my mom offered me whether I wanted ro not to go to Solo the next day (Friday), I accepted it. We went there not for vacation or what, but for checking and stocking our shops there, Kassaya, there (2 shops and 1 counter).So, yesterday at 9.20 AM, we left Yogyakarta heading for Solo. At 10.30 AM, we arrived at Solo Square. Two (just as usual) employees (Dewi and Nika) were on duty there yesterday morning. After spending 2 hrs, there we left Solo Square and went to Solo Grand Mall. Before we went to our shop, we had lunch first at SGM's foodcourt upstairs. At 1 PM, we went down to our shop. Two (just as usual) employees (Meli and Tuti) were on duty, and several minutes later, another employee (Asnia) came for the evening shift which starts at 2 PM. There, my mom interviewed a new person for the SPG job in Solo. At 3.45 PM we left Solo Grand Mall and went to ALFA Solo Baru. If at Solo Square and Solo Grand Mall we have 'shop's there, in ALFA Solo Baru we only have a small counter, so each shift, only 1 employee on duty there (yesterday evening twas Erna). At 6 PM, we went back to YogyakartaThis morning, when I was still enjoying my precious sleep, there was an EARTHQUAKE here in Jogja!! Well, when I first felt that, I thought twas gonnabe quick, and it would last soon. But it didn't!! I realized that twas pretty long (around more than 5 secs) and I woke my brother up and we went downstair to escape. But otw, the earthquake stopped. Well, twas not really a big earthquake compared to the devastating and destructive 27th May 2006 earthquake I guess... :)
::: quick update ::: (Sun, 21st Jan 07; 9.20 AM)
- As you can read at one previous entry, I got 70 coupons of lucky draw. Yesterday when I went to Malioboro Mall and looked at the winner list, my name was NOT written there, in other words, I didn't win. Arrrggghhhh..... . Well, that's okay actually
- today at 11.30 AM I'm going back to Bandung catching Argo Wilis Express, so, holiday is really over today... :(

Aku nggak ada rencana sama temenku sih, jadinya Kamis kemarin waktu mamaku nawarin mau nggak pergi ke Solo besoknya (Jumat), ya aku mau-mau aja. Kita kesana bukan untuk liburan atau apa, tapi untuk mengecek dan menge-stok toko2 Kassaya disana (2 toko dan 1 counter). Jadi, kemarin jam 9.20 pagi, kita meninggalkan Yogyakarta dan menuju ke Solo. Jam 10.30 pagi kita sampe di Solo Square. Dua (seperti biasanya) pegawai(Dewi dan Nika) lagi bertugas disana kemarin pagi. Habis menghabiskan waktu 2 jam, kita meninggalkan Solo Square dan pergi ke Solo Grand Mall. Sebelum ke toko, kita makan siang dulu di foodcourtnya SGM di lantai atas. Jam 1, kita turun menuju ke toko. Dua (seperti biasa) pegawai (Meli dan Tuti) lagi bertugas, dan beberapa menit kemudian, pegawai lainnya (Asnia) datang untuk shift sore yang dimulai jam 2. Disana, mamaku juga mewawancarai orang baru untuk pekerjaan SPG di Solo. Jam 3.45 sore, kita meninggalkan Solo Grand Mall dan menuju ke ALFA Solo Baru. Kalo di Solo Square dan Solo Grand Mall kita punya 'toko' disana, di ALFA Solo Baru kita cuma punya counter kecil, jadinya tiap shift ya dijaga sama 1 pegawai aja (kemarin sore yang jaga Erna). Jam 6 sore, kita balik ke YogyakartaPagi ini, waktu aku masih lagi menikmati tidurku yang berharga, ada GEMPA BUMI lagi loh disini di Jogja!! Waktu pertama aku ngerasain, aku kira bakalan cepet dan cepet selesai. Ternyata ENGGAK!! Aku sadar kalo itu lumayan panjang (sekitar lebih dari 5 detik) dan aku membangunkan adikku dan kita turun ke bawah untuk menyelamatkan diri. Tapi dalam perjalanan, gempanya selesai. Hmm, nggak sebesar dan separah dengan gempa merusak dan menghancurkan 27 Mei 2006 sih ... :)
::: apdet cepet ::: (Minggu, 21 Jan 07; 9.20 pagi)
- seperti yang bisa dibaca pada sebuah postingan yang lalu, aku mendapat 70 biji kupon undian minggu lalu. Kemarin waktu aku pergi ke Malioboro Mall dan ngeliat daftar pemenangnya, namaku NGGAK ada disana, atau dengan kata lain, aku nggak menang. Arrrggghhhh..... . Hmm, nggak papa sih sebenernya
- hari ini jam 11.30 nanti aku akan balik ke Bandung lagi naik Kereta Api Argo Wilis, jadi, hari ini liburanku bener-bener dah selesai deh... :(
ENGLISH
As you can read at my previous entry, this week, American Idol 2007 started to be aired. Beside that, as you know, I also have one fave programme still aired on AXN, TARA.
Just as usual, the first week of American Idol is just the audition week in 2 cities (Minnesota and Seattle). It's kinda interesting for me (but I still prefer the real show starting at the workshop round along until the final 2.... :D). Some were good, some were mediocre, some were terrible, some were horribly terrible. But at this point, I think the producers focus more on the "fun" thing (or even more "humiliating") rather than the "serious" thing. There was a guy who said he was as good as Freddie Mercury from Queens (hmm, nice thought!! Let's see....). But apparently, he was WAY TOO FAR AWAAYYYYYY, he couldn't even sing.
Btw, I like the way Simon reacted, here's one example (Not the exact words):
This conversation happened after the guy 'sang' (if twas really a 'singing') and twas absoultely a "NO" but the guy insisted he deserved to pass the audition
...
Simon: "So, you wanna say lack of coaching is your main problem"
Guy : "Yes"
Randy: "Who do you think should be your coach?"
Guy: "I guess Simon, I know he knows what he's saying, bring it on, and coach me"
Simon: "Well, I couldn't"
Guy: "Why?"
Simon: "It's like coaching a one-legged person to win a 100 meter sprint, even though I'm a great coach but if you haven't got it, it's not gonna work!!"
Wakakakakaka.... . That's a cold-hearted answer... :) But I like that
Well, tonight, American Idol was aired at 7 PM - 9 PM here, while at 8 PM - 9 PM I also had TARA. Of course, twas a no-brainer choice, I chose TARA since AI was still about the audition and TARA was down to the final 4.
This leg, all teams had to travel from New Delhi, India, to Dubai, UAE. Once they arrived, they had to go to Abra Station and found the next clue. Well, again, there was a YIELD. But apparently, noone chose to use the YIELD (this is so different with The US Version, in the final 4, all teams in The US Version usually tempted to use the YIELD since the competition had been so intense, in TAR-10, Dustin&Kandice, who arrived #3 at the YIELD (Tyler&James and Rob&Kim chose not to yield anyone) even decided to yield Lyn&Karlyn (the most underdog team)). The next task was a Road-Block Task, they had to go to a golf-court and play a 9-hole game. After they finished, they had to go to Dubai International Marine Club to find the next clue. The next task was a Detour Task at the Ski Dubai. Teams had to choose between "HACK" and "HIKE". In "HACK", they had to crack a 15 kg ice (the clue was inside the ice) to get the clue. In "HIKE", they had to hike the artificial ice/snow hill and also brought an additional 25 kg load. After finishing the Detour, teams had to proceed to Dubai Mall and looked for a Modern Jewellery Shop and got the next clue. After that was the pitstop with the final placing: Sandy&Francesca (1), Andrew&Syeon (2), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (3), and Mardy&Marsio (4 >> NOT ELIMINATED, as people in forum and I predicted, it was a NEL... :D). Btw, it's now clear that Andrew&Syeon got 2 alliances. First with Mardy&Marsio, and second with Zabrina&Joe-Jer, but the latter one was more on 'monetary alliance'... :)
note: well, Blogger works well when I use Firefox, so I guess the problem is in my IE... :(

BAHASA INDONESIA
Seperti yang bisa dibaca di postingan saya sebelumnya, minggu ini, American Idol 2007 dimulai untuk ditayangkan loh. Disamping itu, seperti yang udah pada tau, aku juga masih punya 1 program favorit yang masih ditayangkan di AXN, yaitu TARA.
Seperti biasanya, minggu pertama dari American Idol tuh menceritakan minggu audisi di 2 kota (Minnesota dan Seattle). Lumayan menarik sih untuk aku (tapi aku masih lebih emmilih untuk nonton kalo udah babak workshop deh terus sampe babak 2 besarnya nanti.... :D). Ada yang bagus, ada yang biasa-biasa aja, beberapa jelek, beberapa jeleknya parah banget. Tapi pada tahapan ini, produsernya kayanya lebih fokus ke hal "lucu" (atau lebih ke "memalukan") daripada ke hal yang "serius". Ada laki2 yang bilang suaranya sebagus Freddie Mercury dari Queens (Hmm, pikiran yang menarik tuh!! Mari kita lihat....). Tapi ternyata, dia tuh SANGAATTT JAUUUH SEKALLIIIIIIII, malah dia tuh gabisa nyanyi.
Btw, aku suka bagaimana reaksinya Simon, ini dia satu contohnya (kata2nya ga sama persis loh):
Percakapan ini terjadi habis laki2 ini 'menyanyi' (kalo itu bener2 sebuah 'nyanyian') dan jelas2 jawabannya "TIDAK" tapi laki2 ini bersikeras kalo dia berhak lolos audisi)
...
Simon: "Jadi kamu mau bilang kalo masalah kamu tuh cuma nggak punya pelatih musikal?"
Laki2 : "Ya"
Randy: "Siapa menurutku yang patut menjadi pelatihmu??"
Laki2: "Aku rasa Simon, aku tahu Simon pasti tau apa yang dia omongkan, buktikan, dengan melatih saya"
Simon: "Hmm, aku nggak bisa"
Laki2: "Kenapa?"
Simon: "Ini seperti melatih seorang berkaki sebelah untuk memenangkan perlombaan lari 100 meter, walaupun saya adalah pelatih yang hebat, tapi kalo kamu memang nggak 'punya', ya tetep aja nggak akan berhasil!!"
Wakakakakaka.... . Jawaban yang dingin tuh... :) Tapi aku suka
Hmm, malam ini, American Idol ditayangin jam 7 malem sampe jam 9 malem, padahal jam 8 sampe jam 9 aku juga punya TARA. Tentu saja, pilihan yang sangat mudah, aku jelas milih TARA dong, kan AI masih audisinya dan TARA udah sampe babak 4 besar.
Pada babak kali ini, semua tim harus pergi dari New Delhi, India menuju ke Dubai, UEA Begitu mereka sampai, mereka mesti pergi ke Stasiun Abra untuk mendapatkan petunjuk selanjutnya. Hmm, skali lagi, ternyata ada YIELD loh. Tapi ternyata, nggak ada yang memilih untuk menggunakan YIELD tsb (ini agak berbeda dengan yang di versi Amerika, di 4 besar, tim di versi Amerika biasanya begitu ingin untuk menggunakan YIELD soalnya kompetisi kan udah bener2 sengit, di TAR 10, bahkan Dustin&Kandice, yang sampai ketiga di YIELD (Tyler&James dan Rob&Kim memilih untuk nggak nge-yield siapa2) memutuskan untuk menge-yield Lyn&Karlyn (tim yang paling menjadi underdog)). Tugas selanjutnya adalah Road-Block, mereka harus pergi ke lapangan golf dan main game 9-hole. Habis selesai, mereka mesti pergi ke Dubai International Marine Club untuk menemukan petunjuk selanjutnya. Tugas selanjutnya adalah Detour di Ski Dubai. Tim harus memilih diantara "HACK" atau "HIKE". Di "HACK", mereka harus memecahkan 15 kg es (petunjuknya ada di dalam es-nya) untuk mendapatkan petunjuk). Di "HIKE", mereka harus mendakit bukit es/salju buatan dengan beban tambahan 25 kg. Habis menyelesaikan tugas Detour, semua harus pergi ke Mal Dubai dan mencari Toko Perhiasan Modern untuk mendapatkan petunjuk selanjutnya. Habis itu adalah pitstop dengan urutan terakhir:Sandy&Francesca (1), Andrew&Syeon (2), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (3), dan Mardy&Marsio (4 >> NGGAK TERELIMINASI, seperti yang orang2 di forum dan saya perkirakan, babak ini adalah babak NEL... :D). Btw, sekarang jelas kalo Andrew&Syeon punya 2 aliansi. Pertama, dengan Mardy&Marsio, dan kedua dengan Zabrina&Joe-Jer, dan yang kedua lebih condong ke 'aliansi keuangan' deh kayanya... :)
catatan: hmm, Blogger baik2 saja waktu aku pake Firefox, jadi kayanya masalahnya ada di IE-ku deh ... :(
ENGLISH
Actually yesterday my friends and I planned to hang out together, but one of them call me at 10 AM the morning telling me that he got a problem. His Cellphone SIM-Card didn't work and he needed to go to the Customer Service ASAP. Since we planned to go at 12 PM, and he wasn't sure whether he would have been back at 12 PM or not, so he asked me to go with him at that time to the CS. But since at that time I had just got up, so I gotta refuse that since if I was in, it would take at least 1 hr to be ready, and 1 (remaining) hr wasn't long enough to fix that problem. Then, he went to the CS alone at 10 AM
At 12.20 PM, I went to my other friend's campus and picked him up. Then, we went to my friend (who had the cellphone problem earlier in the morning)'s house in case he had been back. Unfortunately, he had not.
So, we then went to Plaza Ambarrukmo. We arrived there at around 1.30 PM. We then had snacks at De'Crepes and just chatted. He told me about his thought lately which always bothering his mind. Hmm, I won't write about it here since he also didn't tell me the whole 'problem' he had (so, I only 'analyzed' what really happened based on his story). But I think he just thinks about somebody's business too much, which if I were him, I wouldn't even care about it. It's other person's business, not mine. Even if he/she is my closest friend, I think there still exists kinda borderline where I shouldn't or don't need to pass. Well, that's my comment, but since he still hides what really happens, so I dunno about his case, probably his case is really an urgent-class case which sometimes we need to break the borderline, he3... :)
Okay, well then, we had lunch at Qua-Li Yogyakarta. Just as usual, I ordered my fave menu, Mayonaisse Lumpia and Black Pepper Beef. After that, we went back home
Btw, finally, the latest season of American Idol (American Idol 2007) starts today!! Yaaaaay!! And next February, the latest season of The Amazing Race (The Amazing Race 11 a.k.a The Amazing Race All-Stars) will also start!! For TAR-11, my pick right now: Charla&Mirna, David&Mary and Dustin&Kandice, he3.... :)

::: Black Pepper Beef
::: Penang Fried Kwee Tiauw

Sebenernya kemarin aku sama temenku kan dah rencana mau jalan2 bareng, tapi salah satunya telpon aku jam 19 pagi ngomong kalo katanya dia lagi ada masalah. SIM Card hapenya lagi rusak ato gimana dan dia perlu pergi ke Customer Service-nya segera. Nah, karena rencananya mau perginya jam 12 siang, dan dia ga yakin kalo dia bakalan dah balik jam 12-nya, makanya dia ngajak aku pergi ke CS. Tapi karena waktu itu saya baru saja bangun tidur, jadi aku ya terpaksa harus menolak deh, soale kalo aku ikut, paling ga bakal ngambil waktu 1 jam sampe aku siap, dan sisa 1 jam kan ga bakalan cukup tuh untuk membenarkan masalahnya. Jadinya, jam 10 dia ke CS sendirian deh, sapa tau jam 12 dah selesai
Jam 12.20 siang, aku pergi ke kampusnya temenku yg lain dan menjemput dia. Trus kita pergi ke rumahnya temenku yang hapenya lagi rusak itu sapa tau dia dah balik. Sayangnya, belum.
Jadi, kita pergi deh ke Plaza Ambarrukmo. Kita sampe disana sekitar jam 1.30 siang. Trus kita makan snak di De'Crepes dan ngobrol2. Dia cerita tentang pikirannya akhir2 ini yang mengganggu pikirannya. Hmm, aku nggak akan nulis tentangnya disini, disamping dia juga ga cerita keseluruhan permasalahannya sih (jadi aku cuma 'menganalisa' berdasarkan ceritanya ke aku). Tapi aku rasa dia tuh terlalu memikirkan urusannya orang lain terlalu banyak deh, yang kalo misalnya aku jadi dia, aku nggak akan urus tuh. Itu kan urusannya orang lain, bukan urusanku. Walaupun orang itu temen terdekatku, tapi menurutku kan tetep ada tuh semacam garis batas yang aku nggak boleh dan nggak perlu untuk melewatinya. Hmm, itu komentarku sih, tapi karena dia masih menyembunyikan tentang apa yang sebenernya bener2 terjadi, ya aku nggak tau juga kasusnya gimana, mungkin aja kasus ini adalah kasus super penting dimana kita kadang2 harus melewati garis batas tersebut, he3... :)
Okay, kemudian, kita makan di Qua-Li Yogyakarta. Seperti biasanya, aku pesen menu favorit saya, Lumpia Mayonaise dan Sapi Lada Hitam. Habis itu, kita balik ke rumah
Btw, akhirnya, musim terbaru dari American Idol (American Idol 2007) dimulai hari ini!! Yaaaaay!! Dan besok Februari, musim terbaru dari The Amazing Race (The Amazing Race 11 alias The Amazing Race All-Stars) akan dimulai juga!! Untuk TAR-11, pilihanku saat ini: Charla&Mirna, David&Mary, dan Dustin&Kandice, he3.... :)

Saturday Morning, I got up at 5 AM in the morning. At 5.40 AM, I called a taxi to pick me up at my boarding house and at 6 AM the taxi arrived. I then arrived at Bandung Railway Station at 6.10 AM and got into Argo Wilis Express. At 7 AM, Argo Wilis Express departed from Bandung Railway Station for its daily service from Bandung to Surabaya via Yogyakarta.
Apparently, Argo Wilis Express was late!! I don't know why but usually, after passing Tasikmalaya Station (from Bandung, or 'before' from Yogyakarta), the train is relatively moving fast, BUT last Saturday, it was moving fast at some points, but also slow at some points, especially after Kutoarjo Station (about 60 km before Yogyakarta) causing an hour late... :( It arrived at 2.15 PM.
Well, after arriving at home, I was SO sleepy, and I took a nap. Unconsciously (of course... :D), I slept for about 4 hrs until 7.45 PM!!! Wakakakakaka..... :)
Sunday morning, I got up at 6.20 AM. At 7 AM, just as usual, my fam and I went to the church to have a weekly Sunday Mass Liturgy. At 8 AM, after it finished, we had breakfast at Soto Solo. It was close actually because at 9 AM some people would have kinda a meeting there, but after 'arguing' a lil' (usually it opens at 7.30 AM), we could have breakfast there... :D
At 3.30 PM, I picked my friend up at his home. At first we didn't know where to go, so we were just wandering aimlessly, wakakakaka.... :D But then, we decided to go to Galeria Mall (apparently, now Toga Mas Bookstore has also opened its new branch on Galeria!!). Then, we played at TimeZone there (I had not played at TZ for months!!). At 5.30 PM, we left Galeria and went to Patuk Market to have dinner at a famous friedrice 'warung' there. After that, we went back home. Thrity minutes later, my mum and I went to Malioboro Mall, just as usual, to go to our shop, Kassaya there. Before that, we bought bakso (meatballs) nearby. Bakso from this 'warung' is so delicious. I haven't eaten this bakso for more than 2 years!! At 9.10 PM, we went back home.

Sabtu pagi, aku bangun jam 5 pagi. Jam 5.40 pagi, aku telpon taksi untuk menjemput aku di kosku dan pas jam 6 pagi, taksinya datang. Aku trus pergi ke Stasiun Bandung dan sampe di stasiun jam 6.10, dan aku langsung aja deh neik ke rangkaian Argo Wilis. Jam 7 pagi, Argo Wilis berangkat dari Stasiun Bandung dalam perjalanan hariannya dari Bandung menuju Surabaya via Yogyakarta.
Ternyata, Argo Wilisnya telat!! Aku nggak tahu kenapa, tapi biasanya sih habis melewati Stasiun Tasikmalaya (dari Bandung, atau 'sebelum' klo dari Yogyakarta), keretanya bergerak relatif lebih cepat, TETAPI kemarin Sabtu, keretanya bergerak cepat pada beberapa tempat, dan juga pelan pada beberapa tempat, terutama setelah melewati Stasiun Kutoarjo (sekitar 60 km sebelum Yogyakarta) yang menyebabkan keterlambatan satu jam... :( Kemarin baru sampe jam 2.15 siang.
Habis nyampe di rumah, aku ngantuk banget, jadi tidur siang deh. Nggak sadar (tentu saja lah... :D), aku tidur selama 4 jam sampe jam 7.45 malem!!! Wakakakakaka..... :)
Minggu pagi, aku bangun jam 6.20 pagi. Jam 7 pagi, kaya biasanya, keluargaku sama aku pergi ke gereja untuk mengikuti ekaristi Minggu mingguan. Jam 8 pagi, ekaristinya selesai dan kita makan pagi di Soto Solo. Sebenernya lagi tutup sih tempatnya, soale jam 9 pagi kan mau ada orang yang mengadakan semacam arisan disana, tapi habis 'ngeyel' sedikit (biasanya kan buka jam 7.30 pagi), kita bisa sarapan disana deh... :D
Jam 3.30 sore, aku menjemput temenku di rumahnya. Pertamanya kita nggak tau mau kemana sih, makanya kita ya pergi tanpa arah, wakakakaka.... :D Tetapi kemudian, kita memutuskan untuk pergi ke Galeria Mall (ternyata toko buku Toga Mas buka cabangnya di Galeria loh!!). Trus, kita main di TimeZone disana (aku dah nggak main di TZ berbulan-bulan nih!!). Jam 5.30 malem, kita meninggalkan Galeria dan makan malam di sebuah warung nasi goreng yang terkenal di Pasar Patuk. Habis itu, kita balik ke rumah deh. Tiga puluh menit kemudian, aku sama mamaku pergi ke Mal Malioboro, kayak biasanya, untuk pergi ke toko kami, Kassaya yang ada disana. Sebelum itu, kita makan bakso dulu di dekatnya. Baksonya dari warung ini enak loh. Aku dah ga makan disana selama lebih dari 2 tahun nih!! Jam 9.10 malem, kita balik ke rumah deh.

Previously on My Year-End Vacation (PART 2: Surabaya (1)), Zilko and fam finally arrived at Surabaya and stayed at JW. Marriott Hotel. After spending 2 days in Surabaya and having New Year Eve Party, they were ready to go on day 5.
Day 5 (Monday, 1st January 2007)
We got up at around 9.30 AM in the morning, and just like the previous day, my brother and I had breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast room was different, this day, they moved it to the Ballroom at the Mezzanine Level. After having breakfast, my mum and her friends from Semarang went to Pakuwon Supermal first, and my dad, my brother, and I would leave later.
At around 11 AM, we left our hotel and went to Supermal Pakuwon. Well, it was pretty far, a lil' out from the city of Surabaya. There, we just walked around the mall, and at around 1.30 PM, we decided to have lunch at Qua-Li Surabaya. Well, we had to wait for 30 minutes since it was full at that time. Why did we decide to have lunch at Qua-Li?? Well, it was because of the new menus!! As far as I notice, in Qua-Li Yogyakarta, there haven't been any new menus (well, or "had" not beed any new menus before, I dunno about right now... :D). Well, we tried almost all new menus... :D. Hmm, objectively, most of them are all tasty, especially if you like spicy foods, but my most fave one was Thai Sauce Chicken.
Well, then, since my parents' friends had to go back to Semarang catching the 4 PM flight from Juanda Airport, Surabaya, so we were splitted there. They cought a taxi to go to Bandara, and we drove 2 cars back to Surabaya. Otw, we returned one car which we borrowed. Right after that, we went to my dad's another sister (or my aunt and uncle's house). There, we also met my dad's another sister (or my another aunt) and her husband (or my another uncle), my cousins, one of my cousin's boyfriend, my cousin in law, and my nephews... :D Well, just like all family reunion, we just talked, talked, and talked (we also ate at Kwee-Tiauw Apeng, it was tasty!! :D). That evening, we had dinner at a seafood restaurant around Mayjend Sungkono called "Layar". It was delicious... :D Then, after having a chat, we went back to our hotel
Day 6 (Tuesday, 2nd January 2007)
We got up at 9 AM in the morning, and after my brother and I had breakfast, we checked out. Then, we went to my dad's sister house again, and just as we had planned before, we went to my grandparents' cemetery. Just like all we used to do when we visited my grandparents' cemeetry, we first bought flowers at the flower-stall near the cemetery, where my grandpa liked to buy (well, my grandma died first, 9 years before I was born). Then, we prayed there....
After that, we returned back. After saying bye bye to my aunt, we went to Supermal Pakuwon one more time to buy gifts (donuts) for some of my parents' friends at Yogyakarta. After that, we entered the Surabaya - Malang Highway, heading south, and checked out at Waru Toll-Gate (the highway was still on operation, except at the part where the hot-mud really screwed).
So, at 12 PM, we left the city of Surabaya. Just like usual, Surabaya - Mojokerto Road was pretty crowded. So many trucks, buses, and cars passing. But it was relatively normal. At 2.15 PM, we arrived at the town Nganjuk, and had lunch (again) at Nirwana Restaurant. Learning from my previous experience, I didn't order fried chicken, he3... :D Then, at 3 PM we continued our trip. The traffic was normal actually even at some parts it was frustating since there were some snail-moving trucks in front of me and I couldn't overtake them since it was forbidden (the line was straight). I was so pissed when one car overtook me and truck in front of me when it was not allowed to and I needed to stay behind the damn truck. But several minutes later, the justice was served, that car driver got busted by a police, wakakakakaka.... .
Well, at 5 PM we arrived at the town of Sragen (around 35kms from Solo) and I made a target to arrive at 7 PM at Yogyakarta since it seemed to be possible (I wanted to watch TARA, since I hadn't watched that week episode yet... :D). I thought I would easily make it since Solo - Yogya is 65 km, so 65 km + 35 km = 100 km. Well, if I drove constantly at 60km/hr, I would arrive at 6.40 PM). But then I thought: "Solo is a big city, I won't drive more than 60 km/hr in average inside Solo", well then, I really rushed... :D I drove around 100 km/hr when it was possible, well, it was quite vicious actually since it was dusk and there were many trucks, buses, and slow cars, plus Sragen - Solo Road was not that wide. Well, just like what I expected, in Solo, we couldn't move that fast, in fact, probably we went an extra 20 km / 30 km from what I thought (I didn't consider the 'inside city' roads, it was pretty confusing). But then, luckily we arrived at Yogyakarta on time, at 7 PM.... :D
Well, that's all My Year-End Vacation Story.... :)

Cerita Sebelumnya pada My Year-End Vacation (PART 2: Surabaya (1)), Zilko dan keluarga akhirnya sampai di Surabaya dan nginap di Hotel JW. Marriott. Habis menghabiskan waktu 2 hari di Surabaya dan mengikuti pesta Malam Tahun Baru, mereka siap untuk jalan-jalan di hari 5.
Hari 5 (Senin, 1 Januari 2007)
Kita bangun sekitar jam 9.30 pagi, dan seperti hari sebelumnya, adikku sama aku yang makan pagi di hotel. Ruangan makan paginya beda dari hari sebelumnya, hari ini, mereka memindahkannya ke Ball Room di Lantai Mezzanine. Habis makan pagi, mamaku sama temennya berangkat duluan ke Supermal Pakuwon, sementara papaku, adikku, dan aku nyusul kemudian.
Sekitar jam 11 pagi, kita meninggalkan hotel dan pergi ke Supermal Pakuwon. Hmm, lumayan jauh tuh, agak di luar Kota Surabaya-nya. Disana, kita ya cuma jalan-jalan di dalem mall gitu, dan sekitar jam 1.30 PM, kita memutuskan untuk makan siang di Qua-Li Surabaya. Hmm, kita harus menunggu 30 menit loh, soale kan lagi penuh. Kenapa koq kita memutuskan untuk makan di Qua-Li?? Ya soale kan ada menu baru!! Sejauh yang aku tahu, di Qua-Li Yogyakarta, masih belum ada menu baru (atau paling ga sampe saat itu blom ada menu baru, klo sekarang aku sih gatau... :D). Kita hampir mencoba semua menu barunya loh... :D Hmm, objektif nih ya, kebanyakan dari menu baru itu enak loh, terutama kalo pada suka masakan yang pedes, tapi yang paling aku suka adalah Ayam Saos Thailand.
Trus, karena temennya ortuku yang dari Semarang harus balik ke Semarang naik pesawat jam 4 sore dari Bandara Juanda, Surabata, jadi kita berpisah disana. Mereka naik taksi menuju bandara, dan kita nyetir 2 mobil ke arah Surabaya. Di perkalanan, kita mengembalikan mobil yang kita pinjem. Habis itu, kita langsung pergi ke tempat saudaranya papaku (atau rumah om dan tante saya (aku manggilnya ga "Om" sama "Tante" sih... :D)). Disana ternyata kita juga ketemu saudaranya papaku yang lain (tante saya yang lain) dan suaminya (atau om saya yang lain), sepupu-sepupuku, pacarnya salah satu sepupuku, sepupu iparku (ada ga ya istilah ini?? :D), dan ponakan-ponakan saya... :D Hmm, seperti reuni keluarga yang lain, kita ya ngobrol-ngobrol. (hmm, kita juga makan di Kwee-Tiauw Apeng, enak loh!! :D) Malamnya, kita makan malam di sebuah restoran seafood di deketnya Mayjend Sungkono yang namanya "Layar". Enak juga loh... :D Trus, habis ngobrol2, kita balik ke hotel deh.
Hari 6 (Selasa, 2 Januari 2007)
Kita bangun jam 9 pagi, dan habis aku dan adikku sarapan, kita check out dari hotel. Trus, kita pergi ke rumah tante saya lagi, dan seperti yang udah direncanakan, kita pergi ke kuburannya engkong-oma saya. Seperti yang biasa dilakukan ketika kita mengunjungi kuburan engkong-oma saya, kita pertamanya beli bunga di warung bunga deketnya kuburan, dimana engkongku dulu sering beli (jadi omaku tuh meninggal duluan, 9 tahun sebelum aku lahir). Trus kita berdoa....
Habis itu, kita balik lagi. Habis mengucapkan da da ke tante saya, kita pergi ke Supermal Pakuwon sekali lagi untuk beli oleh2 (donat) untuk beberapa temennya ortuku di Yogyakarta. Habis itu, kita memasuki jalan tol Surabaya - Malang, menuju selatan, dan keluar di Gerbang Tol Waru (jalan tolnya masih beroperasi koq, kecuali di bagian dimana lumpur panas merusak).
jadi, jam 12 siang kita meninggalkan Kota Surabaya. Seperti biasanya, jalanan Surabaya - Mojokerto tuh lumayan rame. Ada banyak truk, bus, dan mobil. Tapi relatif normal sih. Jam 2.15 sore kita sampai di kota Nganjuk, dan makan siang (lagi) di Restoran Nirwana. Belajar dari pengalama sebelumnya, aku nggak pesen ayam goreng, he3... :D Trus, jam 3 sore kita melanjutkan perjalanan. Lalulintasnya normal walau pada beberapa bagian lumayan menyebalkan juga soale ada truk yang lambaaaat banget di depan saya dan gabisa saya salip soale kan lagi ga boleh nyalip (garisnya lurus). Aku sebel banget waktu ada mobil yang nyalip aku dan truk di depanku padahal lagi ga boleh nyalip dan aku ya cuma bisa bertahan di belakang truknya. Tapi beberapa menit kemudian keadilan ditegakkan. Pengemudi mobil itu ditangkep polisi, wakakakakaka.... .
Jam 5 sore, kita dah sampe di Kota Sragen (sekitar 35 km dari Solo) dan aku bikin target untuk sampe jam 7 malem di Yogyakarta soale itu adalah suatu hal yang memang mungkin (aku kan mau nonton TARA, soale aku blom nonton episode waktu minggu itu... :D). Aku kira aku bakal gampang tuh untuk mencapai target, soale kan Solo - Yogya tuh sekitar 65 km, jadi 65 km + 35 km = 100 km, nah kalo aku konstan nyetir di 60 km/jam, aku akan sampai sekitar jam 6.40. Tapi aku kemudian berpikir:"Solo adalah kota besar, aku nggak akan bisa nyetir di atas 60 km/jam dong secara rata-rata kalo di dalem kota Solo", trus, aku lumayan keburu-buru tuh... :D Aku nyetir sampe 100 km/jam waktu memungkinkan, hmm, lumayan berbahaya sih soale kan lagi senja dan ada banyak truk, bus, dan mobil2 lelet di jalan, ditambah lagi, jalan Solo - Sragen kan ga gitu lebar. Hmm, seperti perkiraan, di Solo kita gabisa bergerak cepat, pada kenyataannya malah mungkin nambah sekitar 20 km / 30 km dari perhitungan (aku nggak memperhitungkan jalanan 'di dalam kota', lumayan bikin bingung tuh). Tapi kemudian, untungnya aku sampe di Yogyakarta tepat waktu, jam 7 malem.... :D
Yak, itulah kesemua cerita Liburan Akhir-Tahun-ku.... :)
ENGLISHAs you can read at my previous entry, yesterday I went back to Bandung catching Argo Wilis Express from Surabaya bounding for Bandung, via Yogyakarta. It arrived at Yogyakarta pretty late, at 11.50 AM because there was a train accident between Yogyakarta and Solo (Argo Lawu Express from Solo to Jakarta via Yogyakarta). Well, then it departed from Yogyakarta at 12.05 PM, 30 minutes late from the schedule. FAST FORWARD. Well, yesterday was Thursday where TARA's newest episode would be aired at 8 PM. I hoped it would arrive at 7 PM (maximum time) so I would have enough time to go to my boarding house and watched it. Well, apparently, it was not!! It checked in at Bandung Railway Station at 7.30 PM. Arrrggghhh.... . Ok, I said to myself: "You are not gonna make it, just watch the first rerun at 12 AM". So, I got a taxi and went to my boarding house, then I looked at my watch. It was 7.50 PM!! Wow.... . So, I arrived at my room at exactly 8 PM!!! Yaaaayyy.... . I could watch TARALast episode, all teams were equalized at the Railway Station to go to New Delhi, India. There would be a "YIELD" ahead. All teams except Andy&Laura seemed to make an alliance to yield Andy&Laura... :) After arriving at New Delhi and went to the Red Fort, Sandy&Francesca arrived first and yes, they yielded Andy&Laura. Andy&Laura had to wait until all sand in the hour-glass ran down. The next task was Detour, team had to choose between "Deliver" or "Donkey". In Donkey, teams would have to transport onions using a donkey and walk it to the stall to receive their next clue. In Deliver, teams would have to carry sacks of spices and deliver them to a spice shop which they only have a picture for reference. The next task was Road-Block (Dung Cake). In Road-Block, one team member from each team had to carry pails of cow manure and then use it to make Dung Pies by adding water and sticking them onto the wall. If they drop, teams would have to re-do that one. Even though Andy&Laura got yielded, they could catch up. Zabrina&Joe-Jer were last so far. After finishing Road-Block, Andy&Laura got it difficult to get a taxi, and this turned their position. Zabrina&Joe-Jer overtook them. So, at the pitstop, the final order: Sandy&Francesca (1), Mardy&Marsio (2), Andrew&Syeon (3), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (4), and Andy&Laura (5 >> ELIMINATED. Whatta pity, I always think they are one of the strongest teams from the top 6 and could win the USD 100k prize).This morning, I went to my campus to go on FRS (consulting with my academic counselor). Before that, I found my first semester score: GPA = 3.89 (arrrggghhh....). Why "arrgghhh...."? Look below:- Calculus 1. UAS score: 100. Final score: 92. Category: A- Elementary Linear Algebra. UAS score: 85. Final score: 89. Category: A- Elementary Statistics. UAS Score: 100. Final Score: 96. Category: A- Elementary Statistics Worklab. UAS Score: 90. Final score: 88. Category: A- Micro Economics. UAS Score: 89. Final score: 90. Category: A- English. UAS Score: 94. Final score: 93. Category: A- Religion. UAS Score: 75. Final score: 78. Category: B >> ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!Well, that sucks!!! I mean, the only subject which I don't get A is only Religion, it was an MKU (General Subject, out of my main major subjects)... :( Well then, I took 22 sks (credits) for my 2nd semester. Actually I could take 24 subjects but I have taken 2 MKUs and if I take one more MKU, that will be pretty hard and distract my concentration. Plus, I can't take any subject for 4th semester of 6th semester since I haven't taken the required subjecta to take those subjects.Btw, I still have 1 week holiday, and tomorrow I'm going back to Yogyakarta catching Argo Wilis Express departing at 7 AM from Bandung.
::: Andy&Laura, the sixth team to be eliminated
::: Leader-Board so far
::: Animated Board This Episode
Just like last week, special THX to Inan and durengal from TARA forum for the boards... :) (note: to enlarge them, just click each picture)BAHASA INDONESIASeperti yang bisa dibaca pada postingan sebelumnya, kemarin aku balik ke Bandung naik kereta Argo Wilis dari Surabaya tujuan Bandung via Yogyakarta. Kemarin sampai di Yogyakarta lumayan telat, jam 11.50 pagi soale ada kecelakaan kereta di antara Yogyakarta dan Solo (Kereta Ekspres Argo Lawu dari Solo tujuan Jakarta via Yogyakarta). Trus berangkatnya dari Yogyakarta otomatis juga telat deh, jam 12.05 siang, setengah jam telat dari jadwal. FAST FORWARD. Kemarin adalah Kamis dimana episode terbaru dari TARA disiarkan. Aku berharap sampenya selambat-lambatnya jam 7 malem la, jadi aku punya cukup waktu untuk balik ke kos dan nonton jam 8 malem. Tetapi ternyata, kemarin keretanya baru masuk Stasiun Bandung jam 7.30 malem. Arrrggghhh.... . Ok, aku ngomong ke diri saya sendiri: "Nggak akan berhasil deh, nonton rerunnya aja deh yang jam 12 malem". Jadi, aku manggil taksi dan pergi ke kos, trus aku liat jam tangan saya. Masih jam 7.50 malem!! Wow.... . Jadi, aku sampe kamarku tepat jam 8 malem!!! Yaaayyy.... . Bisa nonton TARA deh.Di episode kemarin, semua tim menjadi seimbang di stasiun kereta api untuk pergi ke New Delhi, India. Akan ada sebuah "YIELD" di depan. Semua tim kecuali Andy&Laura kayanya membuat koalisi untuk menge-yield Andy&Laura... :) Habis sampe di New Delhi dan pergi ke Benteng Red Fort, Sandy&Francesca sampai duluan dan mereka menge-yield Andy&Laura. Andy&Laura harus menunggu sampai semua pasir di dalam jam pasirnya untuk jatuh ke bawah. Tugas selanjutnya adalah Detour dimana tim harus memilih di antara "Deliver" atau "Donkey". Di Donkey, mereka harus membawa bawang bombay naik keledai dan berjalan ke sebuah toko untuk mendapat petunjuk selanjutnya. Di Deliver, tim harus membawa 4 sak cabai mengantarnya ke toko cabai dimana mereka cuma punya gambarnya sebagai referensi. Tugas selanjutnya adalah Road-Block (Kue Kotoran). Di tugas Road-Block ini, satu anggota tim harus membawa beberapa ember berisi kotoran sapi dan menggunakannya untuk membuat "kue" kotoran dengan menambahkan air dan menempelkannya ke dinding. Kalo jatuh, harus ngulangi lagi. Andy&Laura walaupun di-yield tetep bisa mengejar. Zabrina&Joe-Jer yang terakhir sementara. Setelah menyelesaikan Road-Block, Andy&Laura kesulitan untuk mendapatkan taksi. Zabrina&Joe-Jer mendahului mereka, dan ini mengubah posisi. Posisi akhir di pitstopnya: Sandy&Francesca (1), Mardy&Marsio (2), Andrew&Syeon (3), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (4), dan Andy&Laura (5 >> TERELIMINASI. Sedih banget, aku selalu berpikir kalo mereka adalah salah satu tim terkuat yang tersisa dari 6 besar dan bahkan bisa menang hadiah 100ribu dollar loh).Pagi ini, aku pergi ke kampusku untuk FRS (konsultasi sama dosen wali). Sebelumnya, aku menemukan bahwa IP-ku semester ini adalah: IP = 3,89 (arrrggghhh....). Kenapa "arrgghhh...."? Lihat di bawah ini:- Kalkulus 1. Nilai UAS: 100. Nilai akhir: 92. Kategori: A- Aljabar Linear Elementer. Nilai UAS: 85. Nilai akhir: 89. Kategori: A- Statistika Elementer. Nilai UAS: 100. Nilai akhir: 96. Kategori: A- Praktikum Statistika Elementer. Nilai UAS: 90. Nilai akhir: 88. Kategori: A- Ekonomi Mikro. Nilai UAS:89. Nilai akhir: 90. Kategori: A- Bahasa Inggris. Nilai UAS: 94. Nilai akhir: 93. Kategori: A- Pendidikan Agama. Nilai UAS: 75. Nilai akhir: 78. Kategori: B >> ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!Menyebalkan sekali!!! Maksudku, satu2nya mata kuliah yang aku ga dapet A kan cuma agama, padahal agama tuh MKU (Mata Kuliah Umum, bukan mata kuliah utama jurusanku)...:( Trus kemudian, aku ngambil 22 sks untuk semester 2ku. Aku bisa sih sebenernya ngambil 24 sks tapi aku kan dah ngambil 2 MKU dan kalo aku ngambil MKU satu lagi, bisa jadi susah dan memecah konsentrasiku. Plus, aku masih blom bisa ngambil mata kuliah semester 4 atau 6 soale masih ada kuliah pra-syarat yang aku blom ikuti.Btw, aku masih punya liburan seminggu lagi, dan besok aku balik lagi ke Yogyakarta naik Argo Wilis berangkat dari Bandung jam 7 pagi.
