ENGLISHToday finally I went back to Yogyakarta. This morning I caught Argo Wilis Express departing at 7 AM from Bandung Railway Station. Anyway, last night I got an insomnia, arrrggghhh, I started to sleep at about 1.30 AM and at 4.50 AM I gotta get up. Haha, so I was pretty sleepy on the rail this morning. So, at 5.40 AM this morning my taxi (I had ordered a taxi the day before) had arrived (wah, cool Gemah Ripah, not like Blue Bird which pissed me off at this time). At 5.45 AM I went to the station. Ten minutes later I arrived (Bandung in the morning is so cool, there was no traffic, hahaha...). Well, I was starving this morning and at 5.55 AM Hoka-Hoka Bento Station was still closed. Damnit. I still had 1 hour and I decided to wait for about 20 minutes (who knows Hokben would open soon?) rather than waiting inside the train and starving. Apparently at 6.05 AM it opened!! Yeeaaahhh!!!At 7 AM my train departed. The trip was okay, just as usual. But the thing is that I was a bit nervous during the trip since there were some peculiar sounds coming from the cart (I suspect there was something wrong with the cart). At Kroya Station and Kutoarjo Station, some mechanics seemed to check my cart a bit more intense than the other carts, hmmm... . Anyway, there was nothing bad happened. Thanks God!! :) My train arrived at 1.45 PM (15 minutes earlier than the schedule, it's cool!! :) )Anyway, yesterday I had my TOEFL test. I think I did well. Hmm, probably because I haven't taken any English Class recently so I think out of all sections, I am confident the most on my Listening Section, LOL. However, the test sucked a bit since we gotta blacken a circle to answer and it is my weakness (you can read here). I always blacken slowly (since I'm always afraid it's not gonnabe perfectly good and it's not read by the computer). hahaha...Anyway, yeah, now I'm at Jogja!!! :)

BAHASA INDONESIAHari ini akhirnya aku balik ke Yogyakarta juga. Pagi atdi aku naik Kereta Ekspres Argo Wilis yang bernagkat jam 7 pagi dari Stasiun Kereta Api Bandung. Ngomong2, semalem kaga bisa tidur neh, siyal, arrrggghhh, baru bisanya tidur sekitar jam 1.30an gitu sementara aku harus uda bangun jam 4.50 pagi. Haha, makanya tadi ngantuk selama perjalanan. Trus jam 5.40 pagi taksiku (aku uda pesen taksi sehari sebelumnya) udah datang (wah, Gemah Ripah memang keren, kaga kaya Blue Bird yang bikin saia kecewa pada waktu ini). Jam 5.45 pagi aku pergi ke stasiun. Sepuluh menit kemudian aku udah nyampe di stasiun (Bandung di pagi hari menyenangkan deh, nggak macet, hahaha...). Hmm, aku kelaparan tadi pagi dan jam 5.55 pagi kan Hoka-Hoka Bento stasiun nya masih tutup. Siyal. Aku masih ada waktu sejam dan ya uda aku mendingan nungguin aja deh 20 menitan gitu (kan sapa tau Hokben nya dalam waktu dekat akan buka?) daripada nunggu di dalam kereta dan kelaparan kan. Eh ternyata jam 6.05 buka tuh!! Yeeaaahhh!!!Jam 7 pagi keretaku bernagkat. Perjalannya biasa aja sih. Tapi ada satu hal yang bikin aku agak-agak deg-degan juga tuh. Jadinya tuh ada suara-suara yang mencurigakan gitu pada perjalanan yang datangnya dari gerbongnya (aku menduga ada masalah dah sama gerbongnya). Di Stasiun Kroya dan Stasiun Kutoarjo aja tadi teknisinya mesti ngeck gerbongku lebih saksama daripada ngecek ke gerbong lainnya, hmmm... . Yah yang penting nggak ada hal buruk yang terjadi deh. Terima Kasih Tuhan!! :) Keretaku tiba jam 1.45 siang (15 menit lebih cepat daripada jadwal, keren!! :) ) Ngomong2, kemarin aku ikutan tes TOEFL. Aku rasa aku bisa ngerjain dengan baik sih. Hmm, mungkin karena aku uda kaga ikutan les Inggris kali ya jadinya malah bagian yang aku paling percaya diri adalah Listening, LOL. Namun tesnya nyebelin bgt tu soale kan dalam menjawab kita mesti menghitamkan lembar jawaban tuh dan itu kan kelemahan saya (bisa dibaca lengkap disini. Aku selalu menghitamkan dengan lambat (soale aku selalu takut kalo nggak dibulatkan dengan sempurna nggak akan kebaca komputer). hahaha... Udahlah, yeah, sekarang uda di Jogja!!! :)
ENGLISHOkay, today is Wednesday. This morning I had a meeting to talk about this year's OSPEK which will take place next August. We still haven't had a deal yet with the university's councils and we are still working on it. Because of that, I think tomorrow is gonnabe a looong day.Anyway, finally I come to a decision. Next Friday (30 th May) I'm going back to Yogyakarta catching Argo Wilis Express (Damn Merpati, they still haven't reactivated to Bandung - Yogyakarta vv flight yet). However, this morning I found out that apparently, next 8-10th June 2008 I must be in Bandung to attend a 'Rapat Kerja' for all programs within one year. Not like this time where I conducted an internal 'Rapat Kerja'. This time, The Rapat Kerja will not be an internal one, it's gonnabe more formal and wider (between all departments). Therefore, next week I gotta go back to Bandung again at 7th June. Then at 10 or 11 June I think I will go back to Yogyakarta. Well then, on 16th June I must also be in Bandung for the new student councils inauguration. Sigh, I really have to go back and forth between Yogyakarta and Bandung this time. LOL...Tomorrow is gonnabe a loong day. Tomorrow morning I gotta take a TOEFL Test at my campus as a mandatory requirement to complete this semester. Wish me Luck!! hehehe... :) Then later in the afternoon I gotta attend an internal OSPEK meeting (as a result of this afternoon's meeting). Wah!! Tiring!! hahahaAnyway, this evening I went to IP. I had dinner (at Hokben) there and I bought a pizza (because of the picture I took last week which I posted here. That picture made me really want a pizza, shoot, waa...)
::: J-Co donuts I bought yesterday
::: my dinner at Hoka-Hoka Bento this evening
::: My Argo Wilis ticketsBAHASA INDONESIAOke, hari ini adalah hari Rabu. Pagi tadi ada rapat ngomongin tentang masalah OSPEK tahun ini yang akan berlangsung Agustus nanti. Kami masih belum ada kesepakatan dengan pihak universitas sih dan masih diusahakan. Karenanya, besok akan menjadi hari yang panjang. Ngomong2 akhirnya aku bisa memutuskan nih. Besok Jumat (30 Mei) aku akan balik ke Yogyakarta naik Kereta Api Ekspres Argo Wilis (Merpati sialan, mereka masih belum mengaktifkan kembali penerbangan Bandung - Yogyakarta pp nih). Namun, pagi tadi aku dikasi tau bahwa besok tanggal 8-10 Juni 2008 aku harus ada di Bandung untuk menghadiri 'Rapat Kerja' untuk semua program selama setahun mendatang. Tidak seperti yang satu ini dimana aku mengadakan 'Rapat Kerja' internal, yang kali ini akan lebih formal dan lebih luas (bersama2 jurusan lain). Makanya minggu depan ni tanggal 7 Juni aku mesti balik ke Bandung lagi. Trus tanggal 10 ato 11 Juni aku rasa aku akan balik ke Yogyakarta lagi. Namun kemudian, tanggal 16 Juni aku harus ada di Bandung lagi untuk pelantikan pengurus lembaga kemahasiswaan yang baru. Hhh, beneran harus bolak-balik Bandung - Yogyakarta terus nih di liburan kali ini. LOL...Besok akan menjadi hari yang panjang. Besok pagi aku akan mengikuti tes TOEFL di kampus sebagai persyaratan wajib yang harus dipenuhi semester ini. Doakan saya yah!! hehehe... :) Trus siangnya aku harus menghadiri rapat OSPEK internal (sebagai kelanjutan dari rapat tadi siang). Wah!! Melelahkan tu!! hahahaNgomong2 sore tadi saya pergi ke IP. Aku makan disana (di Hokben) dan beli pizza (gara2 gambar yang aku ambil minggu lalu yang aku posting disini nih. Gambarnya membuat saya pingin pizza lagi, sial, waa...)
ENGLISHWell, if you read my previous entry, by now I should have been in Pangandaran. However, because of one or two reasons, our trip to Pangandaran was canceled. Hmmm... . Maybe I'll write something about it later. Anyway, because of that my friends and I planned to go to a cellular operator office to do a negotiation for our 'Kompetisi Matematika 2008' next November this afternoon, haha... :)Well, my weekend has been okay. Yeaahh, finally UAS this semester = history!! Hahahaha.... . I think I did 'Stochastic Process' final exam really well. O yea, last Saturday I read an article at Kompas Bandung saying that there are some Bakmi Jawa restaurants in Bandung. Wah, I become a bit curious and suddenly that article made me to want Bakmi Jawa, haha... :) So yesterday I went to one of them and well, it was apparently okay. The noodle was small. Its "Mie Kuah" is better than its "Mie Goreng", beside, it's pretty espensive, arrrggghhh.... . I still prefer the real Bakmi Jawa at Jogja. Anyway, yesterday I cleaned my room. It was EXHAUSTING!! It took me 1.5 hours to finish it (yea, because I gotta do everything, tidying up all books and papers, cleaning the table, etc). Waaa, moral of the day:
"Never Be Lazy to Clean Our Place or one day we will regret about it and gotta do everything at one time"
LOLHere are some pictures of my meal over last week (yea, week, NOT weekend, I'm not that crazy-eater, hahaha...):
::: pizza and lasagna I bout last week (for 2 days)
::: Suniaraja Fried Chicken
::: Bakso Malang Enggal
::: Mie Kuah and Mie Goreng I ate last night. They were just okay for me.BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, jika dibaca pada posting sebelumnya, harusnya sekarang ini aku kan udah ada di Pangandaran. Namun, karena satu dua alasan, perjalanan ke Pangandaran dibatalkan. Hmmm... . Mungkin aku akan nulis tentang ini kapan2 sih. Ngomong2, karenanya aku sama temen2ku jadi ngerencanain untuk pergi ke kantornya sebuah operator hape deh hari ini untuk negosiasi masalah acara 'Kompetisi Matematika 2008' besok November siang nanti, haha... :) Hmm, wiken saya biasa-biasa saja. Yeeaaahh, akhirnya UAS semester ini = sejarah!! Hahahaha.... . Aku rasa aku mengerjakan UAS 'Proses Stokastik' dengan lumayan baik dah. O iya, kemarin Sabtu kan saya baca artikel di Kompas Bandung katanya ada beberapa restoran Bakmi Jawa di Bandung. Nah tu artikel bikin saya jadi pengen makan Bakmi jawa deh, haha... :) Jadi kemarin aku pergi ke salah satunya dan ternyata rasanya biasa saja. Bakminya kecil-kecil. "Mie Kuah"-nya lebih mending daripada "Mie Goreng" nya, di samping itu, mahal juga harganya, arrrggghhh.... . Lebih enak Bakmi Jawa yang di Jogja dehNgomong2, kemarin saya membersihkan ruangan saya loh. Dan ternyata itu MELELAHKAN SEKALI!! Membutuhkan waktu 1,5 jam tuh sampai saya menyelesaikan semuanya (iya, soale kan aku harus melakukan semuanya, membereskan buku-buku dan kertas-kertas berkas, membersihkan meja, nyapu, ngepel, dll). Pesan moral untuk sehari kemarin:
"Jangan pernah malas untuk membersikan ruangan kita atau kita akan menyesalinya kemudian karena harus melakukan semuanya sekaligus"
LOLBtw, di atas adalah foto2 makanan yang saya konsumsi seminggu kemarin (seminggu lho, bukan se-wiken, saya kan makannya kaga sekalap itu, LOL).
ENGLISH
Haha, today I'm gonna have my last final exam this semester, Stochastic Process. Wish Me Luck!! I hope I do well, haha... :)
Well, normally by now I would have planned my trip to go back to Yogyakarta (after exams) and this 'holiday' is the longest holiday of the year. An almost three months holiday (since I do not take the Short Semester Course)!! Yeeaaahh!!! hahaha.... :) Btw, I still remember this day last year when I went back to Yogyakarta for the long holiday, hmmm (the flight delay I knew when I checked in at Garuda Indonesia Bandung, when I walked around at Soekarno-Hatta Airport Terminal 2F to kill time (I stopped by at a Periplus Bookstore), etc, haha). Normally, this day (the last day of my examination weeks) I am also busy going around Bandung to buy some gifts, hahaha.....
But now I haven't. Probably next week I'm going back to Yogyakarta but I still can't determine the exact date yet for now. However, it's gonnabe as quick as 30th May. Well, this is because of several things. I'm going to Pangandaran next Monday until Tuesday (hmm, I think probably I will write something about it in my private blog some times later). I'm also taking a TOEFL test next week at my campus (to fulfill the requirement for first evaluation by the end of this semester) and I also gotta attend a meeting, hmmm.... . Kinda busy.
Anyway, today is my mom's 46th birthday!! Happy Birthday Ma!! :)
Btw, waah, now Blogspot is cool. We can publish an entry in a pre-determined time we choose, hahaha... :)
Anyway, daaammmnn. Starting 2 minutes ago the nationwide fuel price has officially been raised. Premium has been raised from Rp 4,500.00 per liter to Rp 6,000.00 per liter (33% raise) and Solar from Rp 4,300.00 to Rp 5,500.oo per liter (27.90% raise). The funny thing is that the official announcement was published last NIGHT (eventho some rumors about it had been spread before). Well, lucky last Thursday I already filled my car's tank to FULL!! hahaha.... :)
BAHASA INDONESIA
Haha, hari ini aku akan menghadapi ujian akhir yang terakhir di semester ini nih, Proses Stokastik. Doakan saya yah!! Semoga bisa mengerjakan dengan baik, haha... :)
Hmm, biasanya nih, saat-saat sekarang ini aku sudah merencanakan perjalananku balik mudik ke Yogyakarta (habis ujian) dan 'liburan' yang sekarang ini kan liburan terpanjang dalam setahun ini nih. Liburan selama hampir tiga bulan (soale kan aku nggak ambil Kuliah Semester Pendek)!! Yeeaaahh!!! hahaha.... :) Btw, aku masih inget banget lho hari ini tahun lalu waktu aku balik ke Yogyakarta untuk liburan panjang, hmm (penerbangan telat yang aku tau waktu city check in di Garuda Indonesia Bandung, waktu aku jalan2 keliling Bandara Soekarno-Hatta Terminal 2F untuk membunuh waktu (aku mampir di Toko Buku Periplus), dsb, haha). Biasanya hari ini (hari terakhir dari Minggu Ujian Akhir) aku juga akan sibuk untuk keliling Bandung dah beli oleh2, hahaha.....
Namun sekarang aku belum. Mungkin minggu depan aku balik ke Yogyakarta sih tapi masih belum bisa memastikan tanggal berapanya nih. Paling cepat tanggal 30 sih tapinya. Hmm, ini dikarenakan beberapa hal. Aku kan mau ke Pangandaran besok Senin sampe Selasa (hmm, mungkin aku akan menulis sesuatu yg berhubungan dengan ini di blog privat nanti deh kapan2). Aku juga mesti ngambil tes TOEFL di kampus minggu depan (untuk memenuhi persyaratan evaluasi tahap pertama akhir semester ini) dan juga mesti hadir di suatu rapat neh, hmmm... . Sibuk neh.
Ngomong2, hari ini adalah Hari Ulang Tahun ke 46-nya mamaku!! Happy Birthday Ma!! :)
Btw, Blogspot asik ya sekarang bisa bikin si mesinnya otomatis menerbitkan posting pada jam yang kita tentukan, hahaha... :)
Ngomong2, siaaaaal. Mulai 2 menit yang lalu harga bensin se negara udah resmi naik nih. Premium naik dari Rp 4.500,oo menjadi Rp 6.000,oo per liter (naik 33%) dan Solar dari Rp 4.300,oo ke Rp 5.500,oo per liter (naik 27,90%). Hal yang lucu adalah pengumuman resminya baru diumumkan KEMARIN MALAM (walau beberapa isu udah tersebar duluan sih). Hmm, untung banget Kamis kemarin saia sudah mengisi tanki mobil saya ke FULL!! hahaha.... :)
David Cook
First Song : "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Clive Davis always picks the right song. I think it was nice. Score: 9Second Song : "Dream Big". Umm, yea, it was not really nice. Score: 8Third Song : "The World I Know". Waaa, David Cook should have picked 'Billie Jeans' or 'Hello'. It was a wrong song choice, duh. Score: 8.25Average : 8.42IDOLS 02/04/06 - David Archuleta
First Song : "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". Clive Davis is really a great producer. Score: 9Second Song : "In This Moment". It was his element. Score: 8.5Third Song : "Imagine". Waaa, a really smart move!! It was his best performance. Smart. Score: 9.5Average : 9I dunno why but this week David Cook didn't show his best performances, hmmm... . David Archuleta won the night.However, not like any previous seasons of American Idol where I preferred one finalist to win over the competitor (in the final), this season is different. It even started in the top three. I was so happy with the top three (because of the elimination of the horrible Jason Castro on the top four) and didn't care who got voted off. The same thing happened in the finale. Eventho I think David Archuleta was the best this week, but overall DA and DC have been kinda neck to neck, haha... :) They both deserve to win.However, today I watched the Result Show LIVE (yea, LIVE, thanks to Star World) and after the vote margin of 12 millions David Cook wins the season!! Waahh!! Congratzz!! :)Anyway, let's do an 'iseng' count. Based on the prediction of Dialidol, David Cook gets the point of 40.93 while David Archuleta only got 29.37 (wah, they predicted it correct again, so, this season they only made 1 wrong prediction, the elimination of my Kristy Lee Cook). The margin is 11.56. Well, there are 12 million votes margin. Using simple comparison we can predict the total number of votes which were casted in this week: (40.93 + 29.37) x (12 millions / 11.56) = almost 73 millions. Well, not bad but still not breaking last year record: about 74 millions votes(important footnote : it is just a prediction based on Dialidol, Dialidol even has margin of errors and I do NOT count that margin of error here. So the number I got is NOT reliable!!).Again, Congratzz David Cook!! (and David Archuleta)
::: quick update ::: (Thursday, 22nd May 2008; 5.35 PM)
Apparently, the number of votes which were casted in this week was 97 million!! Wah, that is another world record!!
BAHASA INDONESIAMelanjutkan tradisi saya dalam membuat posting untuk kasi selamat buat pemenang American Idol (kaya tiga tahun lalu untuk Carrie Underwood, dua tahun lalu untuk Taylor Hicks, dan tahun lalu untuk Jordin Sparks), aku akan menulis posting (yang kayanya) terakhir tentang American Idol Musim 7, hehehe... :) Oke, aku baru aja nonton minggu final American Idol. Mari kita mulai dengan penampilannya. Aku rasa: IDOLS 01/03/05 - David Cook
Lagu Pertama : "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Clive Davis memang selalu pintar milih lagu yah. Menurutku ok juga. Nilai: 9 Lagu Kedua : "Dream Big". Umm, ya, nggak bagus2 amat dah. Nilai: 8 Lagu Ketiga : "The World I Know". Waaa, David Cook harusnya kan memilih 'Billie Jeans' atau 'Hello' tuh. Salah pilih lagu dah, duh. Nilai: 8,25. Rerata : 8.42IDOLS 02/04/06 - David Archuleta
Lagu Pertama: "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". Clive Davis memang produser yang hebat deh. Nilai: 9Lagu Kedua : "In This Moment". Di dalam elemennya dia, ok. Nilai: 8.5Lagu Ketiga : "Imagine". Waaa, langkah yang cerdas!! Lagu itu kan memang penampialn terbaiknya dia. Pintar. Nilai: 9,5 Rerata : 9Gatau kenapa tapi koq David Cook minggu ini kaga menunjukkan yang terbaik dari dia yah, hmmm... . David Archuleta deh yang memenangkan minggu ini. Namun, gak kayak season2 sebelumnya diamana aku biasanya lebih memilih satu kontestan untuk menang daripada yang lain (di final), tahun ini berbeda. Bahkan uda dimulai di 3 besar nih. Aku sangat senang dengan 3 besarnya (setelah eliminasinya si parah Jason Castro di 4 besar) dan nggak peduli sapa dah yang out. Hal yang sama terjadi di final. Walau aku rasa David Archuleta yang terbaik minggu ini, tapi secara keseluruhan DA dan DC ya lumayan berimbang juga, haha... :) Mereka berdua berhak dah untuk menang. Nah, hari ini aku nonton Result Show-nya LANGSUNG (iya, LANGSUNG, thanks untuk Star World) dan habis perbedaan suara 12 juta, David Cook yang menang musim ini!! Waahh!! Selamatt!! :)Ngomong2, mari ngitung hal yang iseng. Menurut prediksinya Dialidol, David Cook mendapat poin 40,93 dimana David Archuleta cuma dapat 29,37 (wah, prediksinya tepat lagi nih, jadi musim ini mereka cuma bikin 1 prediksi salah, yaitu waktu Kristy Lee Cook tereliminasi). Margin-nya adalah 11,56. Hmm, katanya ada perbedaan suara sebanyak 12 juta. Dengan menggunakan perbandingan sederhana kita bisa memprediksi berapa jumlah suara yang masuk minggu ini: (40,93 + 29,37) x (12 juta / 11,56) = hampir 73 juta. Hmm, banyak juga. Namun masih belum mengalahkan rekor tahun lalu: sekitar 74 juta suara(catatan kaki penting bgt : ini cuma prediksi berdasar Dialidol loh, bahkan Dialidol pun memiliki margin kesalahan dan aku NGGAK memperhitungkan margin kesalahan itu disini. Jadi bilangan di atas itu jelas TIDAK BISA dipercaya!!).Sekali lagi, Selamat David Cook!! (dan David Archuleta)
::: apdet cepet ::: (Kamis, 22 Mei 2008; 5.35 PM)
Ternyata, jumlah suara yang masuk minggu ini adalah 97 juta suara loh!! Wah, rekor lagi nih!!

ENGLISHWah, I don't really have nothing to write down here, hehe... :) Everything has just been ordinary, hmmm... .Anyway, wah, everything has also been so quick!! Hmmm... . Now I'm on the last week of this semester. Time really flies (eventho at some points during this semester I also got a bit frustrated especially last April, LOL). It feels that some weeks ago I just started this semester, hmmm... .Btw, last Friday I didn't manage to go to the supermarket, LOL. So I think now I'm going there. Everything is running out now. Last night I cooked my last sardine and nothing else is left except 2 eggs, some slices of cheese and onion. O yea, Indonesia's Thomas Cup Teams lost on the semifinal round from Korea. Wah, whatta shame!! I watched the game and they didn't play really well, hmmm... . It's different with the Uber Cup Teams. Eventho they lost in the final yesterday, but I saw they played their hardest. It was just the China Teams which are just still too strong. Even so, Indonesia's Teams still gave pretty strong counter attack and that's good. hmmm...Yesterday I had my Ethics Examination and I don't think my works was maximal, arrrggghhh... . I hope I still can get A for this subject. Well, forget it, hmmm... . Tomorrow I'm gonna have Life Insurance Math Examination. For me it's the hardest subject this semester. Wish Me Luck... ;)
::: sardines BAHASA INDONESIAWah, nggak ada bahan untuk ditulis nih disini, hehe... :) Semuanya perasaan berjalan dengan biasa-biasa saja, hmmm... .Ngomong2, cepet juga yah waktu itu!! Hmmm... . Sekarang aku uda berada di minggu terakhir di semester ini nih. Waktu benar2 terbang (walau pada beberapa waktu semester ini aku agak frustrasi juga seh terutama April kemarin, LOL). Tapi ya tetep aja sekarang kerasanya itu semester ini baru mulai beberapa minggu yang lalu, hmmmm... .Btw, Jumat kemarin aku nggak jadi ke supermarket neh, LOL. Jadi kayanya sekarang aku mesti kesana neh. Semuanya udah mendekati kritis bgt soalnya. Kemarin malam saia memasak sarden terakhir saya dan nggak ada yang tersisa kecuali 2 butir telur, beberapa lembar keju, dan bawang bombay. O iya, Tim Piala Thomas Indonesia kalah tu di semifinal sama Korea. Payah banget dah!! Aku menonton pertandingannya dan mereka nggak main dengan baik dah kayanya, hmmm... . Beda sama Tim Uber Cup. Walau mereka kalah di final kemarin, tapi di final mereka main dengan baik lho. Ya memang Tim-ya China aja yang memang masih terlalu kuat untuk mereka. Walau begitu, Tim Indonesia sudah memberikan perlawanan yang cukup bagus dan kan keren juga tuh. hmmm...Kemarin aku Ujian Etika dan kayanya nggak maksimal nih, arrrggghhh... . Semogaa masih bisa dapat A deh untuk mata kuliah ini. Udah lah lupakan saja, hmmm... . Besok aku akan ada Ujian Matematika Asuransi Jiwa. Untuk aku ini bahan yang paling bikin susah nih. Doakan saya yah... ;)
ENGLISHWah, 1 hour ago I just finished my Pancasila exam. Well, arrrggghhh, question number 1 was not in the summary!! WTF!!! Lucky the score for it is just 10%. Explicitly, question number 2 and 4 were all written in the summary, and implicitly, so was question number 3 (and I was a bit surprised when some friends said they thought question 3 was also not written in the summary while actually it was but yea, it's not explicit).Anyway, tomorrow I'm gonna have Ethics Exam, wish me luck, hahaha... . There are so many things to study for tomorrow, damn.I think this afternoon I'm gonna go to the supermarket to buy some stuffs but I dunno. I will see my mood, haha... . Right now I'm a bit sleepy. I managed to sleep at 12.30 AM this morning while I had been falling asleep from 10.30 PM actually. But I forced myself to stay awake since I still had some materials to study, sigh... .Anyway, yesterday I also watched the semifinal round of Uber Cup between Indonesia and Germany. Wow, it's kinda impressive for Indonesia to make it to the final round tomorrow!! That's an achievement. However, the competitor in the final is China and China is a damn strong team. Objectively, I don't think Indonesia will win but they still can surprise us, hehehe... :) O yea, this weekend Star World is gonna air American Idol Marathon, wow!! hahaha...Btw, about American Idol, my friend just told me that the "Coin Toss" Curse goes to David Cook, duh. He will be singing first on the finale next week. Well, on American Idol, after the last contestant gets voted off, there is a coin toss between the 2 grandfinalist to determine who is gonna sing first on the finale. Usually, the person who sings second on the final WINS the competition. This happens to all the winner of American Idol (except Ruben Studdard but he won only with slight difference with Clay Aiken and I consider both of them are the winners). Last year actually Blake Lewis was supposed to sing second based on the coin toss but then he acted 'gentleman'-ly by asking Jordin to choose the number. Of course Jordin smartly picked second, and she won the title last year, LOL. This year, based on the coin toss, David Archuleta will sing second. So, we will see, hmmm....
::: Top 2 American Idol season 7: David Archuleta vs David CookBAHASA INDONESIAWah, sejam yang lalu aku baru aja nyelesein ujian Pancasila neh. Hmm, arrrggghhh, masa soal nomer 1 kaga ada di kisi2 coba!! WTF!! Untungnya bobotnya cuma 10% sih. Secara eksplisit, soal nomer 2 dan nomer 4 ada di kisi2, dan secara implisit, soal nomer 3 juga (tapi saia heran ada beberapa temen yang ngira soal nomer 3 ga ada di kisi2 padahal sebenernya aja, tapi ya memang nggak eksplisit sih).Ngomong2, besok akan ada ujian Etika neh, doakan saia yah, hahaha... . Ada banyak hal yang perlu dipelajari besok neh, siyal.Aku rasa siang nanti aku akan ke supermarket deh beli beberapa barang tapi gatau juga sih. Liat mood saia nanti ah, haha... . Sekarang ngantuk neh. Semalem baru sempet tidur jam 12.30 pagi padahal sebenernya uda ngantuk banget sejak jam 10.30 tuh. Tapi ya aku maksain buat tetep bangun soalnya masih ada beberapa bahan untuk dipelajari sih, hhhh... .Ngomong2, kemarin aku nonton babak semifinal Uber Cup antara Indonesia dan Jerman loh. Wow, Indonesia bagus banget tu bisa masuk ke babak final besok!! Merupakan suatu prestasi dah. Namun, lawan di final adalah China dan China adalah tim yang sangatlah kuat sekali. Secara obyektif sih aku ngerasa Indonesia nggak akan menang tapi kan bisa aja mereka memberika kejutan, hehehe... :) O ya, wiken ini Star World nayangin American Idol Marathon tuh, wow!! hahaha...Btw, tentang American Idol nih, temenku baru aja bilang kalo Kutukan "Coin Toss" (Lempar Koin) menyerang David Cook, duh. Dia akan nyanyi pertama di final minggu depan. Nah, di American Idol itu habis kontestan terakhir tersisih, akan ada coin toss antara 2 grandfinalis untuk menentukan siapa yang akan nyanyi duluan di final. Biasanya, kontestan yang menyanyi kedua MEMENANGKAN kompetisi. Ini terjadi ke semua pemenang American Idol (kecuali Ruben Studdard sih tapi dia kan menang cuma dengan perbedaan yang sangat tipis sekali dengan Clay Aiken dan menurutku mereka berdua menang dah). Tahun lalu sebenernya si Blake Lewis kan dapet urutan kedua tu menurut coin toss tapi dianya yang bersikap (sok) gentleman dengan malah nanya ke Jordin dia mau nyanyi urutan ke berapa. Ya jelas lah dengan cerdas dan jenius si Jordin milih giliran kedua dan Jordin menang deh tahun lalu, LOL. Tahun ini, menurut coin toss, David Archuleta akan menyanyi kedua. Maka, kita lihat saja deh, hmmm....
ENGLISHYesterday I had my second exam, Mathematical Statistics. I think I did really well, not like last midterm where I thought I was having a low point (but then I managed to still get 87, wkwkwkwkwkw... LOL). I did all the questions with no problem at all. Anyway, actually yesterday I planned to go to Istana Plaza to submit Kassaya's proposal. (O yea, finally the proposal is done, you can see the picture below). But I dunno why but yesterday I was not feeling really fit, hmm... . I was not sick, I was 85% healthy but I just felt not like in my 100% condition. Hmmm... . So I decided to take a rest all day long (this week and the upcoming week are final exams weeks and I just can't gamble on my health for these 2 weeks, rite?? ;) )So, today I executed all my original plan for yesterday. I went to my campus to buy the summary for tomorrow's exam. I met my lecturer and he said that the result of the exam last Tuesday had been published. Wah!! Okay, so I checked at the computer and yes. BOTH exams had been checked. I got 96 on both Numerical Methods and Statistical Math. YEAAHHH!!!! Resulting the final score of A on both subjects. Cool!! ;) Then, this afternoon I went to Istana Plaza. Well, there was a pretty funny thing, hmmm... . I think I can't write it here tho, hehehe...Anyway, this week is the top three week of American Idol. Well, I have written pretty long now so I am just summarizing what I think. Overall I think David Cook was the best this week. Syesha and David Archuleta were a bit neck to neck (I really like David Cook's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" and Syesha's "If I Ain't Got You"). I thought the one who got voted off this week would either be David A or Syesha (based on the performances). HOWEVER, looking at the reality that David A has the teenagers powers behind him (and a bigger fanbase), I gotta feeling that Syesha would end her journey this week.Then, my thought came true. After 56 millions of votes Syesha got voted off leaving us with "The Battle of The Davids" for the finale. Anyway, this season is also the first season where the top 2 contestants have never been in the bottom three or two before.Anyway, this Friday and Saturday I will have 2 MKUs final exams, wish me luck!! :)
::: proposal for Kassaya.
::: Top Three American Idol season 7 : David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado, and David Cook.
::: Syesha Mercado who got voted off this week.BAHASA INDONESIA Kemarin aku menghadapi ujian kedua, Statistika Matematika. Aku rasa aku mengerjakannya dengan sangat baik ga kaya waktu UTS kemarin dimana aku merasa kalo aku lagi menghadapi titik terendah (walau akhirnya tetep bisa beruntung mendapat nilai 87 sih, wkwkwkwkwkw... LOL). Aku mengerjakannya dengan tanoa hambatan deh. Ngomong2, sebenernya kemarin sih rencananya aku mau ke Istana Plaza buat ngajuin proposalnya Kassaya tuh. (O iya akhirnya proposalnya jadi juga loh, bisa dilihat gambarnya deh). Tapi gatau kenapa koq kemarin aku gak gitu enak badan yah, hmm... . Aku nggak sakit sih malah merasa sekitar 85% sehat tapi ya ngerasa nggak dalam kondisi 100% gitu. Hmmm... . Jadi ya aku mutusin buat istirahat aja dah seharian (minggu ini dan minggu depan adalah minggu ujian akhir dan aku tidak setolol itu untuk mempertaruhkan kesehatan saya minggu ini, ya kan?? ;) ) Jadi, hari ini aku melakukan semua rencana awalku yg harusnya untuk kemarin. Aku ke kampus untuk beli kisi-kisi ujian besok. Aku ketemu dosenku dan katanya hasil ujian Selasa kemarin uda keluar. Wah!! Oke, jadi aku trus melihat deh di komputer nilaiku, dan yap. SEMUA ujian yg uda lewat uda ada hasilnya. Aku dapet 96 loh di kedua ujian Metoda Numerik dan Statistika Mat. YEAAHHH!!!! Menghasilkan nilai A untuk kedua mata kuliah. Asiik!! ;) Trus siang tadi aku ke Istana Plaza. Ada hal yang cukup lucu, hmm... . Untuk sementara rasanya belum layak aku tulis disini deh, hehehe...Ngomong2 minggu ini adalah tiga besar American Idol. Hmm, berhubung aku uda nulis ni posting cukup panjang ya udah deh inti2nya saja. Secara keseluruhan aku rasa David Cook adalah yang terbaik minggu ini. Syesha dan David Archuleta agak ketat menurutku (aku bener2 suka penampilannya David Cook yang "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" sama Syesha yang "If I Ain't Got You" nih). Aku rasa yang akan tereliminasi minggu ini berdasar penampilannya adalah salah satu antara David A atau Syesha. NAMUN, melihat kenyataan bahwa David A memiliki banyak banget pendukung remaja di belakangnya (dan fanbase yang besar), aku punya feeling Syesha yang akan tereliminasi minggu ini. Trus, perkiraan saya beneran jadi kenyataan dah. Setelah 56 juta suara yang masuk, Syesha tereliminasi dan kita mendapatkan "Pertarungan Antar David" di final. Ngomong2 berarti season ini adalah season pertama loh dimana 2 besarnya dua-duanya belum pernah masuk bottom three atau bottom two sebelumnya. Ngomong2 Jumat sama Sabtu ini aku akan ujian 2 MKU neh, doakan saia yah!! :)
ENGLISHWell, today I had my first exam, Numerical Method. Yesterday I made some guesses about some questions and apparently my feeling was right about the questions. It was including theoretical thingy, lucky yesterday I felt it was coming and prepared myself, hahaha... :) Overall I think I did pretty well.Anyway, as you can read here, I have prepared some things for my 'Raker'. Finally today we had the 'Raker' at Lembang. Overall I think it went well. For the next one year I think it's gonnabe pretty busy. It's gonnabe alright tho if we delegate the tasks correctly, hmmm... . Anyway, after the Raker, some friends and I bought a 'ketan bakar' at Lembang. Since I was hungry, I also had dinner at Brebes Fried Chicken, hahaha.... :)Tomorrow I'm having a Mathematical Statistics Exam. Wish Me Luck!! hehehe... :)

::: "ketan bakar"BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, hari ini ujian pertama neh, Metoda Numerik. Kemarin aku nebak2 sih kira2 soalnya bakalan kaya apa, dan ternyata feeling-ku bener lho tentang soalnya. Ternyata memang akan ada soal teoretis, dan untungnya kemarin aku merasa akan demikian jadi sudah mempersiapkan diri deh, hahaha... :) Overall I think I did pretty well.Ngomong2, seperti yang bisa dibaca disini, aku kan udah mempersiapkan beberapa hal tuh untuk 'Raker'-ku. Akhirnya hari ini 'Raker' deh di Lembang. Secara keseluruhan sih berjalan cukup lancar. Untuk setahun ke depan kayanya akan menjadi tahun yang cukup sibuk. Nggak papa sih asalkan tugasnya dibagi dengan benar, hmmm... . Trus, habis Raker, beberapa temen dan saya beli 'ketan bakar' di Lembang. Karena lapar sekalian aja deh aku makan malam di Ayam Goreng Brebes, hahaha.... :) Besok aku akan ujian Statistika Matematik neh. Doakan saya yah!! hehehe... :)
ENGLISHWell, nothing really special happened on my weekend. It has just been another weekend, hmmm... . I just enjoy this last weekend before UAS, hahaha (anyway, my first exam will be on Tuesday so tomorrow (Monday) I'm free, YEAAHH!! hahaha... :D).Anyway, lately I have also been working on designing a proposal for Kassaya. I think it's pretty fun, hehe, a bit refreshing. Because of that I need to print a lot and unfortunately I was running out of printer ink this afternoon. So, today I gotta go to BEC to get my ink refilled. Also at BEC I also bought Sim City 4. Then, I had dinner at Suniaraja Fried Chicken. Well, I saw the ad that the restaurant is now sold. Wah, whatta pity. Actually I think it's delicious, but yes, there's no innovation nor effort to attract people to stop by. No wonder it's not doing really well, hmmm...

::: my meal at Suniaraja Fried ChickenBAHASA INDONESIAHmm, nggak ada yang spesial2 amat terjadi wiken ini. Cuma salah satu wiken yang lain saja, hmmm... . Yah, aku cuma menikmati wiken terakhir sebelum UAS ini sih, hahaha (ngomong2, ujian pertama saya kan haru Selasa jadi besok (Senin) saya bebas loh, YEAAHH!! hahaha... :D).Ngomong2 akhir2 ini saya juga men-desain proposal untuk Kassaya. Aku rasa lumayan mengasyikkan juga loh, hehe, agak menyegarkan. Karenanya kan saya jadi butuh untuk nge-print cukup banyak dan sayangnya saya kehabisan tinta neh siang tadi. Makanya hari ini aku mesti ke BEC untuk mengisi ulang tinta saya. Sekalian ke BEC aku juga beli game Sim City 4, hehe... :) Trus sekalian juga aku makan malam di Ayam Goreng Suniaraja. Hmm, aku liat tu iklannya kalo restorannya sekarang dijual. Wah, sayang banget deh. Menurutku masakannya enak loh, cuma ya itu, nggak ada inovasi maupun usaha apa pun untuk menarik orang untuk mampir. Nggak heran juga sih kaga begitu rame, hmmm...
ENGLISHWaa, one of my lecturer is soo kind. There have been 5 assignments and she changed the lowest mark we got to 100. She knew many of other friends' midterm score were so low and my class will face first evaluation by the end of this semester and some friends are in danger. Unfortunately, I already got straight 100s so the elimination didn't affect my score (waa, if only I had known this thing would happen I wouldn't have done all the assignments, LOL). Anyway, YEEAAAHHH!!! Finally the horrible and atrocious Jason Castro got voted off this week, yeaahh!! Finally my wish came true, hahahahaha....Today my friends and I went to Lembang to do a survey for my 'Rapat Kerja (Raker)' (Programs Meeting) within the next 2 weeks since I was chosen as the new head of math student council for the new period (2008/2009). Well, I already have a concept about what we are gonna do within the next 1 year tho. I decided to make this 'Raker' to bond the members of committee plus socialize all the programs and also getting some feedbacks before putting all the programs on the proposal. Back to topic, so we went to Lembang this afternoon. My friend suggested 'Susu Murni (Sumur)' (pure milk) as the place where the raker will take place. Yes, so we went there. I think the place is pretty nice, and not really expensive, hehehe... . There we played cards, LOL. At about 2.40 PM we left Lembang. Since we were still hungry so we had late lunch at Waroeng Steak (wah, that was my first time having meal at WS Bandung, hahaha... :) )

Kan udah ada 5 tugas tuh nah dia mengganti nilai terendah kita dengan 100. Dia sih tau banyak temen yg nilai UTS-nya cukup rendah dan angkatanku kan akan menghadapi evaluasi pertama akhir semester ini dan ada beberapa teman yang dalam bahaya. Sayangnya nih, aku uda dapet 100 semua de buat tugasnya jadi kan eliminasi-nya kaga ngefek dah (waa, kalo tau bakal gini kan aku bisa kaga usa bikin satu tugas deh, LOL). Ngomong2, YEEAAAHHH!!! Akhirnya Jason Castro yang jelek dan parah banget tereliminasi minggu ini, yeaahh!! Akhirnya harapan saya terkabul juga, hahahahaha....Hari ini saya sama beberapa temenku pergi ke Lembang untuk survey buat 'Rapat Kerja (Raker)'-ku dalam 2 minggu ke depan soale saya kan dipilih jadi Ketua Himpunan Mahasiswa Mat periode baru (2008/2009), duh. Hmm, aku uda ada konsep sih sebenarnya mengenai semua acara dalam 1 tahun ke depan. Cuma ya aku mutusin untuk ngadain 'Raker' ya untuk menyatukan semua anggota pengurus sih plus menyosialisasikan semua program dan mendapatkan saran-saran sebelum masukin semuanya dalam proposal. Balik ke topik, jadi kita pergi ke Lembang siang ini. Temenku ngusulin 'Susu Murni (Sumur)' sebagai tempat rapatnya tuh. Jadi ya kesana deh kita. Menurutku tempatnya lumayan bagus juga loh, dan nggak mahal2 amat, hehehe... . Disana kita main kartu deh, LOL. Sekitar jam 2.40 sore kita meninggalkan Lembang. Karena masih lapar kita makan sore deh di Waroeng Steak (wah, pertama kalinya tuh aku makan WS di Bandung, hahaha... :) )
