I wake up at 10.30 on Sunday. Doing the routine: shower, watch anime, lunch.. Then it was the time for the last day of senior camp: Sport games!! We gathered at amphitheather on 12.45.. However, due to the rain, we can only start the games one hour later. Since the first game, we had been dirty.. needed to crawl on the mixture of flour + water.. weeew.. my poor shoes.. Alrite, we didn’t win the first game.. and we lost in the second game.. however… for the next 4 games, the winning luck is with us.. uhuuuii ^^ So.. we won 4 out of 6. Not bad right? :P I was very very tireeedd, but the games were all enjoyable. There was a game where we need to use watermelons. After everything ended, we ate them at the bus stop. Huahaha.. then get back to hall 12.. There were pandan cakes provided there.. + drink as usual.. nyam2.. it tasted so good after the exhausting games. After the feedback session, we had mass game as the last game: make some building using newspaper and tapes. There were 4 groups. Three of them, including us, build monas… huahaa.. maybe because it’s the easiest one… but during the presentation, we said that it was due to our high nationalism :P The other one build Eiffel tower. Gosh, it was really nice ;).. They were kept joking till I burst out laughing. Hahaha… Good work, really!! The senior camp eventually finished at around 6 =) The freshies will have alot of fun this year ^^
Back to my own room, bath, rest, wash my poor shoes, have dinner.. then wait for my roomie to come home. Nancy told me that they reached at 6++.. However, they reached NTU only at 9++ =__=.. haha.. they had dinner together first. Wk and I waited for them at the bus stop. And eventually… the most awaited person of the month is here :D.. hahaha.. Inche didn’t change at all. Winson and WK helped to bring the luggage.. thus Inche and I could chat comfortably. Hahaha.. thanx so much ^^.. Arrived at room, Inche started to unpack for awhile.. then had shower and went to sleep. I, felt tired, eventually slept together with her ^^
The very next day.. My alarm rang at 7.40.. my phone rang at 7.45.. however.. I can only wake up at 7.50.. Even Inche could tell that I’m still very very sleepy. Yah, it was raining that time.. I had shower, then I went to pick up the France gal: Saimen… She was shocked when I greeted her “Bonjour!” hahaha.. She is such a nice gal. Her English is much easier to listen than Nicola. We went straight to pick up Nicola after that.. however, he wasn’t around at 8.45.. Later we waited until 9.. and he suddenly showed up: falling down from the stairs.. oouucch ><.. it must be hurt, Nicola. Lucky that it didn’t bleed, although it left some scars. We went to hall office.. but due to the long queue, we decided to go to ISC first.. then to Office of Finance, queue for another half hour.. then back to ISC to collect the matriculation card. Then.. They went to Lavender with other foreign students, accompanied with 2 student assistants. Farawell, Saimen and Nicole!! Wish you all the best for your stay at NTU ^^
Just after that, I received sms from Handarmin, saying that Citra is coming to NTU. Citra!? Waaw :D I rushed back to hall soon. Since Handarmin was still in Airport and Inche was busy unpacking her stuff, I took her around NTU. We chatted a lot. Not long after that, Handarmin joined us and be our tour guide cum photographer ^^.. Thanks so much Handarmin!! Haha.. I myself went to a lot of new places.. to 2 other libraries at NTU, to Chinese Heritage Center, to School of Communication Studies… etc2.. ^^ It was so much fuun. I borrowed a Photoshop CS2 book at HSS library. It’s still so brand new.. *happy2*
Later, at around 3, Teguh (Citra's younger brother) said that he had finished moving, and asked us to come back to hall 14.. Just as we finished the last point: Yunnan Garden. Thus, three of us went back by taking shuttle bus. We dropped for awhile at hall 15, Rudi’s room, then I took them to the hall 14 bus stop. Eeh, Jeffrey was in the 199 bus. Hahaha.. so.. Byee Citraa… Have a nice day at Singapore o.. Hope that you enjoy tour at NTU!! Cya again soon!! ^^
Back to room, helping Inche connect a cable to her computer, bathed, then it’s time for dinner already… Inche didn’t feel good with her stomach… thus we ate at can 14.. she ate porridge, while I ate noodle + papaya + melon. Hahaha.. Hope that you will get well soon, Che.. and also your back’s hurt. May be you’re just too tired these two days…
Now.. I’m waiting for Andi to put his stuff here.. He hadn’t got room yet. The second round result is out already. Agung got hall 14 again.. wow.. lucky him.. but still he said that he was unlucky ^^; huahaha.. why, Agung? So unlucky that you’re not together with Fieda? :P.. hoho.. btw.. poor Fieda... She is alone at hall 1… :’(
I’m very tired today.. tonight still going to help Juli moving his stuff.. heemm... seems like I’m going to sleep soundly today.. haha.. Tmrw is Indo Seminar already.. hope that I can join for awhile, before going to fetch another exchange student from Taiwan ^^
One week to School,

Continui…
So, I eventually started my journey on 3.20. Kinda risky, knowing that he will arrive at 16.30 ^^; I felt the same rush like yesterday again.. Running through the elevator, and jump into the MRT. Huahaha.. The raining weather really made me feel sleepy.. and eventually I fell asleep.. from Jurong West until Orchard. I was curious of who kept kicking my leg. Then.. as I opened my eyes.. olala.. The MRT was soooo fuuulll.. Can’t hardly see the person sitting facing me. Then I realized that today is Saturday.. ah.. yah.. no wonder. Lucky that I got a seat from boon lay :P
I reached Changi at 16.40. Can imagine how rush I was. I stepped through the elevator, jumped to the sky train, flew to terminal 1 (nah, this one is really lying :P) rode to terminal 1, then try to check the arrival time. Amsterdam – Confirmed. Fuuuiiih, can’t imagine how happy I am. It wasn’t landed yet :D.. Then I began to slow down.. Went to toilet.. drank water.. then started to confuse again.. this is departure places, where is the arrival one? Then the next time I saw the arrival tv, the flight is landed! Olala.. shocked once again. Tried to look for sign, but got no clue. Thus, I eventually used the most easy way: asking people around. They told me that I need to go downstairs. I wondered why I didn’t see any elevator to go down? Then I just took a lift… then looking for gate 20. As soon as I reached there, I saw Setiawan. He had been waiting there from 2.30! haa? He didn’t check that there is a delay. Poor him. Later, we chatted.. it was half hour ++ before they eventually turned up. One from France, one from Italy. 4 of us took taxi together. We stopped at hall 12 first, then went to hall 2, to Nicole’s room. I helped him to open the room. The room is… sigh. Not as good as hall 6 :P hahaha... He got a roommate already, but I don’t know who is he.. maybe Indonesian? Because I saw a ‘Sambal ABC’ on the table. Lol. Nicole kept trying to call his friend, Laura. But since he can’t use his phone, he eventually used mine. Laura is his friend.. who is also exchanged to Singapore. But, Laura is still using the Italian phone card, too!! I wonder how she can bear it. And I wonder if I can bear it too. He used my phone for around 4 minutes. To Italy.. olala.. one lesson learnt! Always asked if they want to buy phone card at Airport. Especially important when it is Saturday when the market isn’t opened =__=.
Lucky that Laura stayed at hall 6. After the second call, he managed to find her. He run and hug her… then started to talk in Italian. And leave me standing, don’t know what to do =___=.. At the same time, Henny called me and said that she is at hall 2 already… Yes, at the first place, I would like to borrow henny’s calling card. I’m so sorry to bother you, Henny… So so sorry. Later, we have dinner together to can2. Don’t know why, but talking with Henny made my stress because of being ignored-cured. Also the hurts of phone being used to call to Italy. Hahaha.. thanx so much henny.. Appreciate it lotz! We ate beefball. Henny haven’t eaten anything since morning.. weew..
After dinner, we went back to hall together.. reached hall… as usual.. I went to have shower.. and then rest for awhile. It is almost twelve now.. guess that I’m going to sleep very soon.
Inche is coming back today!

Inche is coming back today!
Erlin.D
Benvenuto a Singapore!
It was 9.15 when I opened my eyes. But then, I was still sleepy.. thus eventually slept until 10.30 ^^; Wake up, the first thing I remember was that I supposed to bring my camera to Henny before 11! They are having outing today! Thus.. without shower *blush* I went to meet Henny at Can 14. Met Calvin there too. He was taking a France woman with him. He asked my help to bring her to ISC tmrw. Ok Calvin, np :)
As I went back to hall, I washed my clothes.. then it started to rain =__=.. Seems like my cloth washing routine always brings rain >< I bathed, chatted with my sister for awhile, had noodle for lunch, then check the flight the Italian is taking. Yep, today I’m going to fetch an Italian, called Perina Nicola. This is the first time I fetch an exchange student, and I’m alone.. felt nervous :D.. hahaha.. I called ISC to confirm the flight, then checked the Changi website. Aha! It was delayed from 15.30 to 16.40! Lucky that I checked… So I can relax first.. I chatted for awhile with Nancy too.. She still want to back to Medan.. Want to go back to Sg only at 7 of August. hahaha.. She had been repeating this for dozen times. Sianz to see the MRT.. Sianz to reach boonlay.. Sianz to reach hall again. Hihihi.. so cute o^.^o.
Eeeeh, I just checked the schedule again, and it is stated to delay until 16.30 instead of 16.40. How come? Olala… I mustn’t be late to fetch him. It's almost 3 now. Going to airport soon then! Wish me luck ^^
Raining harder and harder,

Welcome back, Nancy ^^
Yup2, Nancy is back on 28 :D.. I had promised to pick her up from airport. I supposed to wake up at 8.. but however, I only managed to get up at 9. I felt abit unwell.. my head felt heavy and my legs could hardly move. Afraid that I will fell sick, I drank 1 tablet of Redoxon before I went out. First destination? OAD! I need to take my claim form :P.. hahaha.. I would like to submit my form on the spot, but I forgot my FIN number.. =__=.. thus I needed to came back again later. From OAD, I run to hall 2 to take the keys of exchange student. And then again, I run to hall 4 bus stop. The 179 set off from bus stop only 10 seconds before I reached there.. oouucch.. Feel so mad to myself. At the same time, Christian sms me and said that he reached boonlay already.. sigh.
People said, the more you want the bus to come, the longer it will take to eventually arrive. It’s quite true. I wait for half hour for the 2nd bus! Even the shuttle bus A had passed twice. What happen? ><.. I eventually reach boonlay at 11.05. Without future ado, Christian and I ran to MRT. We managed to get in 5 seconds before the door closed. Fuuuiiih.. On the way to Changi, I was too nervous all the morning that I didn’t feel sleepy at all. We chatted until it reached Changi. Directly went to arrival terminal, check the belt, and wait there. Lucky that Nancy was still waiting for luggage. Fuuuuiih.. Really really on time. We met Medy there too. He was waiting for his ‘friend’, who was on the same flight with Nancy. I never saw him so shy shy before. Hahahaa.. As we’re going to offer Nancy to have lunch together… she said that she needed to be at Lib 1 to attend seminar at 2, today! Shocked for a while. Then, again, rushing back to NTU. Huahaha.. We reached Boonlay at 1.30. However, there are surprisingly long queue at both 179 and 199. Even the 2-floor bus is full before the queue finished. Amazing. Feel that it’s impossible to wait for another 179 bus, 3 of us took a taxi. It’s also a long queue at the taxi stand. Quite contrast with the time Handarmin and I took taxi yesterday. What happen today? Out from the puzzle, Nancy managed to reached library at 2 sharp. Christian and I put Nancy luggage at her room, and then went for a late lunch. After that, 3 of us went to OAD.. I submit the claim form, and then we went to Convocation.. Uhuui.. Eventually, I could eat at convocation ^^ We reached there at almost 3.30. But we can’t find the buffet. (right to the point) Then, we saw that the tray and everything were prepared at SBS.. thus we waited there.. we wait almost 15 minutes.. when eventually Vera told us that the buffet is at the 3rd floor of Nanyang Audi! ><.. the one at SBS is for the night convocation. Sigh ^//^.. So, we get there. Met Teddy and Fidelia there. Not forget to congratulate father Jipau and also Lina. ^^. Congratulations for both of you!! Winson and Christian was shocked to saw Jipau’s younger brother. They thought that he is Jipau’s elder brother. Hahaha.. Since the food at MSE almost finished before we started taking anything, we went to 1st floor, for the food from post graduates. Woow, it’s extremely nyummy~ I think I ate a lot… Since Winson and Chris were stunned looking at me. ^///^ Hahaha.. I reached back hall around 5. We took the same bus with Nancy. She still missed Medan so much.. Felt like wanting to fly back. hahaha.. I, having bath, preparing things, then going to common hall 12, for the first day of GTD senior camp. I was in Dear Dekil (this year, the group name are all heroes. One of them got Sailormoon: Sayur tiMoon) hahaha.. I am in the same group with Henny. Unfortunately, for that day, Henny was still at airport.. due to the delay =__=. Poor Henny. We started the games at 6.15. I needed to admit that the night games are really fun!!! ^^ Especially the last 3 games, when it involved the ghost. This year, there are 40 ghosts!! The ghosts are good ^^ everybody said so. 2 thumbs up!! I was once really scared to saw them. Hahaha.. Lucky that Henny reached here as we started the first ghost game. We finished all the games at 10.30. Went back to comhall 12, there are foods provided. Curry puff, fried bananas, and more.. nyam2.. not forgetting the drink, for sure. Hahaha.. we chatted for awhile, giving feedback, then continue with the mass dance of GTD. They are using the “Chicken Little” soundtrack!! It is so niceee ^^ Especially since vera is the one taught all of us. Dum dum dum.. Finished with the dance, Dewi briefed us for the outing tomorrow, then here come Shoubi. He looked mad. And that’s true. He pointed out our 15 minutes lateness today. Then, he also suddenly looked so mad at Agung, who closed his eyes while Shoubi was talking. And also Anthony, who spoke at time Shoubi was talking, too. All of us was scared… then silent… I was surprised to see Shoubi like that, really. Then, all in sudden, the lamps are closed, and a cake was out. “Happy B’day to you.. Happy B’day Agung and Anthony..~” haa!? Olala.. I was cheated >< Dee, who just sat besides me know it already! hahaha.. Btw, it’s really a nice acting, Shoubi! ^^.. So.. That’s the end of first day of Senior Camp. I went back to room with Henny and others. Rest for awhile, test to enter explorer-c… and the share is opened!! Not to miss the chance, I watched 2 episodes before went to sleep :P
The convocation is over,

2 days far from computer...
28 and 29... I had been able to wake up *surprisingly* early on both days... And fell asleep as soon as I touch the bed.
On 28.. I wake up at 7. Bath, breakfast and everything, then went to can 16. Pass the key to Putu, then reached OAD at 8.25. Miss Ong wasn't around, but I met one Malaysian there. He is working today with me too.. Horaay, got one colleague ^^… He is from Penang, thus he can speak Hokkien. Not long after, Miss Ong came and briefed us. She also introduces us to one more colleague, from Indonesia, Yudis. Course? Math Science.. Sigh. Future professor. Hahaha.. But then, he is fun. Both of them are fun, to be exact =).. I was at office until around 9.. then Miss Ong asked my help to collect keys from hall 4 and 5.. and waits for 2 Indians to arrive at hall 4. The Indians were just taking taxi from airport. I rush to hall 5 to collect the keys. Unluckily, the officers there needs more than half hour to settle the keys. Then, I run to hall 4… But I was still late. They were already at hall office when I reached there =__=. Thus, I just help them to bring their stuff to their room. Their luggage are really2 alloooooottt.. around 8 huge bags!!! And then, since they came with their mothers… it makes us move slower. They kept asking where is the water cooler, toilet, etc etc.. It was 12++ when I eventually managed to bring them to OAD.. ><.. Miss ong saw me so tired.. thus asked me to went lunch with the Malaysian. Wilkang came back at the same time we’re going to lunch.. eventually, we went lunch together ^^.. We went back to OAD before 1. Just when I felt sleepy, Miss Ong asked me to collect keys again. T__T.. Oh gosh. She asked me to choose, set of 8,9,10, 11, or 12,13,14,15,16,3? I wasn’t quite familiar with the first one.. thus I chose to take the latter. So.. I walked again.. sigh… but before that, I managed to meet Albert at Nanyang Audi. He is ot in his formal dress anymore, but I’m glad I can congratulate him face to face ^^ Congratulation, Albert =) Wish you all the best for your career ahead!
After chatted for awhile, I started my job of the day! Yoosh.. started with hall 15, 14.. then wait for almost half hour at hall 13 :S.. Since Julian said that he still need time to settle stuff, I went to hall 16 first.. then hall 3.. and guess what.. the queue at hall 3 is so sooo looongg >< ><.. I took really an hour to eventually get my turn.. it was soo hoot that time… and I was really tired. Without energy, I went to hall 12.. and then back to hall 13.. before eventually back to OAD.. ha..
Felt so fresh to breathe the air con.. I submit the keys to Miss Ong.. Then Handarmin, Henny and Tatsu came here visiting me… (well, they are looking for Miss Ong, actually. Lol).. They had just finished their exam. Handarmin and I were going to airport to pick up 4 Indians in the evening. Miss Ong eventually let me go at 5.00. She actually want Handarmin and I to rush to airport at that time. “Reach there one hour before the students reached!” She even asked us to go with taxi (with taxi fare to be reimbursed later, for sure..) But then.. we felt that it was quite a waste of time to wait there… thus 4 of us went to JP, having a nice KFC.. (Nyam! This is the first time I ate Cheese Fries again since I went back to sg ^^) After the grand dinner, Handarmin and I took taxi to airport.. while Tatsu and Henny shopped at JP and waiting for the free bus. Haha..
As I entered the taxi, I felt that the smell is so weird that make me want to puke. Handarmin felt the same way too.. Thus we didn’t talk much at taxi. Only after we reached airport, we can talk freely again. Hahaha.. Btw.. the airport was freezing cool. Or it is because I was sweating before? We walked around for awhile.. having some photos (:P).. then sat down and talked. They reached on time. But it needs almost 1 hour to settle the customs, exchange money, calling home, and everything. They don’t want to have dinner! Lucky that we didn’t wait to have dinner together with them. Handarmin charter a bus for 6 of us. It really fits us. Since we need to stop at hall 2 and 5, $40 is quite a reasonable price for us ^^ The Indians were nice.. Seems like they want to ask us a lot of things.. but the driver kept talking about the history of Singapore.. Talking about their old times.. not seldom did he talk about Race :S.. also saying how lucky we’re to be here.. blablabla.. Felt happy to eventually reach NTU. Our last stop is at hall 5.. and then.. since it was 10 o’clock.. no shuttle or even bus to go straight to hall 14.. we walked home.
As we walked, got sms from Vera.. saying that she is at Winson’s place, moving from hall 14 to 16. Thus.. eventually, we went to winson’s place instead. The moving finished very fast. They had already moved one trip. And, as we helped the second trip, it is finished. Wooww : man power did affecting, huh :.. But then.. on the way walking to hall 16, I accidentally made Ivana fallen down and hurt her knees >< I’m so sorry ivana, really. So so sooo sorry :’(.. Hope that the wound will get well soon :’( I helped Vera to clean Ivana’s wound at hall 16, then we went back to hall 14 and put medicine on the knee. The rest of Blazers went to supper with Yansen. They said that there is a shortcut to go to City harvest supper place from SRC? Woow? I never knew that. After taking my shower, I eventually went to bed at around 1. Still got lots of thing to do tmrw.. ZzzZzz
Dozing,
Erlin.D

She also introduces us to one more colleague, from Indonesia, Yudis. Course? Math Science.. Sigh. Future professor. Hahaha.. But then, he is fun. Both of them are fun, to be exact =).. I was at office until around 9.. then Miss Ong asked my help to collect keys from hall 4 and 5.. and waits for 2 Indians to arrive at hall 4. The Indians were just taking taxi from airport. I rush to hall 5 to collect the keys. Unluckily, the officers there needs more than half hour to settle the keys. Then, I run to hall 4… But I was still late. They were already at hall office when I reached there =__=. Thus, I just help them to bring their stuff to their room. Their luggage are really2 alloooooottt.. around 8 huge bags!!! And then, since they came with their mothers… it makes us move slower. They kept asking where is the water cooler, toilet, etc etc.. It was 12++ when I eventually managed to bring them to OAD.. ><.. Miss ong saw me so tired.. thus asked me to went lunch with the Malaysian. Wilkang came back at the same time we’re going to lunch.. eventually, we went lunch together ^^.. We went back to OAD before 1. Just when I felt sleepy, Miss Ong asked me to collect keys again. T__T.. Oh gosh. She asked me to choose, set of 8,9,10, 11, or 12,13,14,15,16,3? I wasn’t quite familiar with the first one.. thus I chose to take the latter. So.. I walked again.. sigh… but before that, I managed to meet Albert at Nanyang Audi. He is ot in his formal dress anymore, but I’m glad I can congratulate him face to face ^^ Congratulation, Albert =) Wish you all the best for your career ahead!
After chatted for awhile, I started my job of the day! Yoosh.. started with hall 15, 14.. then wait for almost half hour at hall 13 :S.. Since Julian said that he still need time to settle stuff, I went to hall 16 first.. then hall 3.. and guess what.. the queue at hall 3 is so sooo looongg >< ><.. I took really an hour to eventually get my turn.. it was soo hoot that time… and I was really tired. Without energy, I went to hall 12.. and then back to hall 13.. before eventually back to OAD.. ha..
Felt so fresh to breathe the air con.. I submit the keys to Miss Ong.. Then Handarmin, Henny and Tatsu came here visiting me… (well, they are looking for Miss Ong, actually. Lol).. They had just finished their exam. Handarmin and I were going to airport to pick up 4 Indians in the evening. Miss Ong eventually let me go at 5.00. She actually want Handarmin and I to rush to airport at that time. “Reach there one hour before the students reached!” She even asked us to go with taxi (with taxi fare to be reimbursed later, for sure..) But then.. we felt that it was quite a waste of time to wait there… thus 4 of us went to JP, having a nice KFC.. (Nyam! This is the first time I ate Cheese Fries again since I went back to sg ^^) After the grand dinner, Handarmin and I took taxi to airport.. while Tatsu and Henny shopped at JP and waiting for the free bus. Haha..
As I entered the taxi, I felt that the smell is so weird that make me want to puke. Handarmin felt the same way too.. Thus we didn’t talk much at taxi. Only after we reached airport, we can talk freely again. Hahaha.. Btw.. the airport was freezing cool. Or it is because I was sweating before? We walked around for awhile.. having some photos (:P).. then sat down and talked. They reached on time. But it needs almost 1 hour to settle the customs, exchange money, calling home, and everything. They don’t want to have dinner! Lucky that we didn’t wait to have dinner together with them. Handarmin charter a bus for 6 of us. It really fits us. Since we need to stop at hall 2 and 5, $40 is quite a reasonable price for us ^^ The Indians were nice.. Seems like they want to ask us a lot of things.. but the driver kept talking about the history of Singapore.. Talking about their old times.. not seldom did he talk about Race :S.. also saying how lucky we’re to be here.. blablabla.. Felt happy to eventually reach NTU. Our last stop is at hall 5.. and then.. since it was 10 o’clock.. no shuttle or even bus to go straight to hall 14.. we walked home.
As we walked, got sms from Vera.. saying that she is at Winson’s place, moving from hall 14 to 16. Thus.. eventually, we went to winson’s place instead. The moving finished very fast. They had already moved one trip. And, as we helped the second trip, it is finished. Wooww : man power did affecting, huh :.. But then.. on the way walking to hall 16, I accidentally made Ivana fallen down and hurt her knees >< I’m so sorry ivana, really. So so sooo sorry :’(.. Hope that the wound will get well soon :’( I helped Vera to clean Ivana’s wound at hall 16, then we went back to hall 14 and put medicine on the knee. The rest of Blazers went to supper with Yansen. They said that there is a shortcut to go to City harvest supper place from SRC? Woow? I never knew that. After taking my shower, I eventually went to bed at around 1. Still got lots of thing to do tmrw.. ZzzZzz
Dozing,

Finishing the cleaning stuff, bathed, then had lunch with wk + juli + tatsu. Winson was at library, preparing for exam. haha.. later.. I went to OAD (eventually!) with William. He would like to work as student assistant too.. After some compromise and everything.. guess what... William took over my job!! Man is surely more needed than woman for lifting heavy stuff at airport.. ><.. But then.. Miss Ong told me that she needs someone at the office tmrw.. Since handarmin and ivana will be having exam.. and tmrw, alot of students will be coming.. oho.. nice trade then ^^;.. more over, at the end of the day, i'll still go for one trip to airport with handarmin, picking 4 more indian.

And Then...
When i took bus to Market yesterday, I met 'Sau Ye' haha.. wearing so formal but still i forgot to congratulate him on his graduation =___=.. He was in the bus with his family.. The bus is really really crowded these days.. I even can't find a seat ><.. convocation people is really everywhere.. next year its nancy, fieda, and ocvia time! hahaha..
As i finished shop (fruits + IDD card) i went to bus stop.. and met mbah chan there.. he just came back to singapore today.. and he stayed at block 67! Will meet the Prez of PINTU alot this year. Get back to room, I saw Nancy online.. thus i called her.. She is busy with her report (uups!) hahaha.. not long after that, she asked my help with m.word. For sure, nancy :) After bath, I helped her until dinner time. As usual, we 'planned' to have dinner at can 14.. but then we decided to go to can 16... as we on the way to can 16, I saw that can 13's Korean food is opened! Nyam... want to try it.. then, eventually, we ate at can 13.. :P.. It also called Bus Stop, even got the logo there. The design is quite similar, and I saw the uncle usually pouring drink at can2 was there! Oho.. then they must have the same boss. The chef of Korean Food is really korean! We hear alot of korean words from drama, but to hear it directly, it feels different. hahaha.. I ate "Chicken something.." (forgot the real name) It's not cheap... $3.5.. but the portion is.. even julianto said that it's a lot. But my name is not erlin if i can't finish them... hahaha.. it's nyummy.. Try it by yourself! The ramen is cheaper.. $2.5.. But the noodle looks like Indomie noodle.. Thus that didn't interest us at all.. we ate too much indomie already, thanks. haha.. Back from the dinner, i chatted again with Nancy, helping her to do the format of her report. Lucky that it just finishes ontime =) Tomorrow is the deadline. haha.. Then i chatted awhile.. Arianto told me that he got room near Julian.. and at the same time, Julian told me that he stayed near Arianto.. lol.. they will be good friend, may be :P..
Btw, i just know that there is alot of Tanjung Balai people at Uts.. Enrico told me that he knew more than 10 people there.. i shocked. Then my friend, Dwi, from Riau, is also at Uts rite now.. huuee.. shocked2.. i should get more update from them ^^;.. Aussie is winter now.. really want to go there with mum and dad on october =( Finished chatting, i didn't feel like sleeping.. thus i watch one episode of "1 litre of tears" Thanks God, i wasn't crying in the first episode. haha.. some of my friends did. Then2.. time had been 1++ after that.. just when i'm going to sleep, Winson give us the link to the forum regarding the woman jumped at Sun Plaza.. Anybody interested, can read it here.
Ok, time to end the day ^^

Lousy Me…
I shocked to see that I woke up at 11.44 today! I supposed to be at OAD at 10.00!! ><.. I didn’t put on my alarm.. How can I do this stupid mistake… feel so so guilty to the Miss Ong who was waiting for me. I had given her a bad first impression…
Directly, I called the office (after brushing my teeth, if not, they will know that I just woke up ^^;) No body answered the phone. They must be on lunch break. Then, I remember that Handarmin is working there.. Soon I called him.. He said that Miss Ong had to go out this afternoon… He also said that Miss Ong wondered why I didn’t come.. oh.. really.. lame me… =__= Eventually, Handarmin said that she will just brief me from email instead. I’m still waiting for her email. Miss Ong.. I apologized…
Btw, this several days I can’t have a good sleep. Since several days ago when I dreamt about scary ghost… the next day, I can only slept at 5. That insomnia is so frustrating! I wonder if it’s because I drank ice tea on dinner? But how can tea affect me that much? Hope that it will be over soon…
Miss Ong has briefed me abit yesterday through phone. My job is… I can say, not as easy as from ISC.. I need to pick up 20+ Indian exchange student! From airport! An at 6.30 in the morning!! Which means I will need to take cab from here at around 5.00.. which also means I will need to wake up at? I believe I never wake up that early in my 2 years at Singapore. ^^;… and then, after that, I will still need to go one more time at night, around 7 for another trip. Sigh.. I don’t know what will Miss Ong think when she knew that I was actually late today because I haven’t waken up…
Ok.. enough about that.. that’s totally my fault, and I had nothing I can do to make it up.
Yesterday, I wake up at 10.. then, went to settle my Giro at 11.00.. I went there with Stephen. He is taking exchange students to ISC, thus I just follow him to can A. (Poor exchange student from france, slept only at 7am because of the hot weather) I was shocked to see OCBC. Is it a back or concert place? Got a lot of freshie queuing outside. Gosh.. it will take forever to finish the giro. But luckily, as I went inside and quering about Giro, they help me to finish it first. It took no longer than 10 minutes =D. lucky me.. then, I went to ISC.. the person there said that I’m not supposed to submit the Giro there. Hah? But last time I submit Medy’s there :S.. Just I don’t know to whom was I submitting it… No use to debate, so I went to Office of Finance, the place stated in the Giro. They are also confused. :S I was actually so mad at that time. But then, thanx to the friendly staff there. She said that we only need to submit 1 giro for the whole undergraduate years. And since I had submitted one for my ureca, my data has actually been there, and I need not submit anymore giro. Fuuiih.. I’m glad to hear that. It means I didn’t have to go back again for the OAD giro. Hahaha. The staff at Office of Finance is very helpful. Thanks so much for the clarification! I asked the same question to the OCBC staff before. But she said it’s necessary to submit giro for every single job.. ^^;.. she said it with confidence.. ^^;; 2 contradicting answers.. however, I believe that the finance staff knows better =)
Later after that, I have lunch at can A.. (Can A! Miss u! haha..) ate vegetarian food. It is very very crowded! Then.. I went to meet William at around 1.. I passed through Nanyang Auditorium.. The convocation is started already. It’s so grand.. saw a lot of graduates having photos.. hugging bears, flowers.. heem.. will I be like them in the next two years? Hahaha. May be not.. because on that day, all graduates are Master :P
William wasn’t there yet when I reached. Thus, I waited at lab. As he came, he asked me to do demo.. I explained everything.. along with examples i have prepared. Then he said that he wants to try it by himself.. making his own example, and run the extractor program. Luckily, it work as expected. Fuuiih.. he said “good!” then we went to the meeting room. The first thing he asked me is.. “so.. what have you learnt about the summarization?” Silent. The summarization papers had been with me since I was in Tanjung Balai. But I can’t get the content to my head. I said that I wasn’t really understand yet.. but still, he wanted me to brief him. Sigh. Then I just talked abit.. and don’t know how, he got what I mean (although I myself didn’t get what I mean) and said happily that he understood it, although I might need time to do so. Then, he continued.. regarding the activity I will be having after this, and if it’s really a busy week for me. I answered honestly. He eventually made decision that.. the extractor can be counted as my last final project. For summarization, he can do it by himself… Wooow! So, does it mean…? Yeeepp, my project is oveer!! However, he said that I might have final presentation with prof. Chen. Let Prof Chen and him discuss first before I get a concrete answer. That’s fine for me. I’m glad that my last program work out well, and glad to hear he said that I had been very helpful through out this year. (helpful and annoying, William? :P) hahaha.. anyway, after that, I can walk back to room, relieved. But, before that, I went to Can 2 to purchase IDD card.. however, they didn’t have stock :( and asked me to come back again at night.. too bad.. then I took bus going back to hall 14 ^^
At night, we watched Miss Universe together. With lots of snacks! Thanks to Fieda, Ivana, Stephen, Henny, and Fidelia as the main sponsors :D.. haha.. We kept commenting on every contestants.. it is so funny xD.. later, Wilkang (whom Handarmin called “Akang..” lol) joined us for awhile. He said that a pregnant woman suicides by jumping from Sun Plaza level 5 today. What!! Shocked to hear that…
The Miss universe ended at 10. After that, we watched the news, saying that the just crowded miss universe collapse during the interview. It’s suspected that the backstage too hot and her dress was too tight.. well.. afterall, congratz to the Miss Universe!! Can u imagine, she is only 18. Younger than me! Woow..
Around 11, after Vera’s meeting, she came by, and we chatted for ‘awhile’. It was twelve past when she went back to room. Thanks so much for accompanying me, Ver ^^. By the time, I just get Arianto message saying that he had reached Singapore. Hahaha.. welcome back!
Oh yes.. Calvin said that he eventually decides not to do the website. The company is kind of hard to please one. hahaha.. that's fine.. Thanks alot for the 50% discount at Body Shop loh! hihihi... alrite.. Now.. time for me to go out for awhile.. ^^ I miss watching Earl.. Explorer-c.. open share please.. >< haha..
Always,

Around 11, after Vera’s meeting, she came by, and we chatted for ‘awhile’. It was twelve past when she went back to room. Thanks so much for accompanying me, Ver ^^. By the time, I just get Arianto message saying that he had reached Singapore. Hahaha.. welcome back!
Oh yes.. Calvin said that he eventually decides not to do the website. The company is kind of hard to please one. hahaha.. that's fine.. Thanks alot for the 50% discount at Body Shop loh! hihihi... alrite.. Now.. time for me to go out for awhile.. ^^ I miss watching Earl.. Explorer-c.. open share please.. >< haha..
Always,

Holiday Mode: Off...
Starting from Tuesday, I'll be busy... That's what i said to William to have my program tested soon.. hahaha.. just joking.. *How come I suddenly afraid that he will read this?* Anyway, after that kind of email, he asked me to go to Lab tomorrow for the test =) Happy to hear that, I jumped for several times, felt tired, then watched CCS Movie II - The Sealed Card. Woow.. It's such a nice anime, really.. I didn't know why.. but i cried at the last minute of the movie. hahaha.. Finished watching around 3.00.. Surfing internet for awhile, then started to test out my program... Haven't really touched it for a week, I almost forgot how it works already.. haha.. However, i was suprised to find so much bugs inside my program!! I took the logic from website! How come it's so unreliable?? ><.. having promise William that i'll go there tomorrow at 1.30 noon, i spent my whole sunday debugging.. siggh.. the more examples i tried, the more bugs i found. hahaha.. Exhaustive testing.. not a suggestive way for programmer ^//^... I just finished testing 5 minutes ago.. So now is the time to blog! :P
Today.. we don't watch Miss universe together.. Not because of my debugging stuff, but because the TV 5 published the schedule wrongly ><.. The miss universe show is tomorrow.. not today.. hahaha.. thus i hope that i'll be able to catch up with it tmrw ^^.. Oh ya, yesterday we meet Fidelia and Marwin. They just back from Medan. Today, Fidelia ate dinner together with us. Most probably she is going to join us watching Miss Universe. Horray.. The more people, the mercier. Ivana said that she supported Mexico, Aussie, India.. I dont know yet.. But.. i just browsed through website.. and watched Nadine interview.. I am shocked! "Indonesia is a very wonderful City", Nadine!? It is a city? :.. And I found some others gramatical errors... like when she was asked what she wanted to be in 10 years later.. she said "I would like to see myself ten years ago..." or when she referred to Mother Theresa with him... =__=.. I'm shocked. But I know speaking in English is very hard for sure =) If I were the one.. Maybe i can't speak a word. Like what happen in the "Cepat Tangkas" during my senior high school. My brain just suddenly went blank. The memory just make me ashamed of myself ^^; So sorry pals :$
So Afterall, I still support Nadine =) Hahaha.. Anyway, I am impressed with India's contestant too. Heem.. Let we see the result tmrw! :D
Now back to business.. Calvin just chatted with me from msn, saying that he got an offer to do website.. but he can only do the php.. want to give me the chance to do design part, and split half2 for the $. Heeem.. interesting.. Let's see...
Going to sleep soon,
Erlin.D

Happy Birthday, Sister :D
Today is my sister B'day ^^ Yuhwa sister, Happy B'day!! Thanks for reminding me about that since 3 days ago! hahaha :D Yes, I chatted with her alot. Almost everyday if she opened her laptop ^^v However.. heem.. she isn't online at all today.. having a grand dinner with her husband, most probably? :P.. Btw, I just know that her and her husband's b'day are so close together. Yesterday (Friday) is his husband chinese b'day. Today is my sister chinese b'day. Tomorrow is again, her b'day. The very next day, will be Acong kk b'day again. huahaha.. All my best wish for both of u.. just.. don't eat too much noodle and egg hor :P
At this happy day, i would like to re-lauch my website too ^^v.. yep.. after 2 years of vacum... I eventually update my website :D.. Thanks for all the support, friends ^^. Naah.. since i can't send any gift to my sister at Taiwan there, let me dedicated this website for you.. hahaha.. I spent a week for creating it. Now you know why I was absent for so long... busy preparing a gift for my sister... (trying to find a black sheep)
Everybody.. feels free to visit my website here ^^
Ok, back to serious mode.. ehem2.. these five days i had really been into website. Since I sent my program to William, he haven't comment anything on it yet. Only one reply saying that he is very busy and will try to squeeze some time for checking my program. That's it. To the contrast, i got contact from International Student Center, ordering me to pick up exchange student from airport on 29 july and 1 august =) got payment of $32/ trip. Not bad, really ^^.. Thanks so much Henny for signing me up! Then, i also got reply from Office of Admission, to pick up students, on 26 july and 27 july.. I also will go to fetch Nancy on this 28 july. Woow.. See my frequency of going to airport? this will be my best record... although I myself coming back to singapore through harbour front ^///^.. hahaha.. From the ISC, I will pick a male student from Italia and a female student from Taiwan. Tatsu dkk keep making fun that i will fetch Materazzi =___= I was still abit scared, actually.. hopefully the students and me won't get lost. ^^;
This holiday, I had been dining with blazers most of the time. There I got the lastest gosip.. and got confuse with the Dota they were talking everyday.. =__=.. especially Julianto.. the king of Dota. If last time i know nothing about dota.. now i atleast know that it has something related to map. hahaha.. Well, i know the game is so booming.. They asked me to tried it.. but i afraid to get addicted.. so i just said no ^^;.. now, even Henny is already into it. Thanks Handarmin for staying clean like me! hahaha.. Anyway, Christian has back to Singapore on.. thursday if I'm not wrong. The first day he reached here, had been playing Dota till midnight.. haiiiz *.*.. Rather than Dota, i think i will prefer Maple to play. The character is so cute cute o^.^o... Julianto broke his secret, telling us that he even paid $10 to make up his character!! Huahaha.. I was really surprised.
Heem... Good time always seems to travel faster. Blazers are going to have their Special Sem 2 exam this 27 july. Christian is back.. WK and Nancy are back on 28.. While my dearest roomie will be back on 30.. with Helios and Henry.. and the last batch will be on 3rd of August. And soon.. It's time for school agaaaiin T__T... Don't want to think of it.. I still have lots of things to settle.. Welcome carnival, GTD, CEC... and tried to email William once again, maybe.. sigh.. Anyway.. Those are not to be thought by now. It will be settled on the day itself. Hahaha.. For now is the time for fun! ^^ Tmrw night we are going to watch Miss Universe together ^^v Who will be the winner? I support Nadine of course!! Wish that she can get into top 10 ^^
Oh ya, one more thing before i closed the blog.. anybody feels bored can try to watch "My Name is Earl" series. It's funny.. and meaningful ;)

Ureca2!!
I cook alot yesterday ^^;.. at night, Ryoma invites me to make jelly.. thus i went to hall 15. Stephen and Handarmin were already there.. then we started cookin (making jelly also called cook, rite?) hahaha.. while waiting for the jelly to be cool, we ate tomato... + sugar + soya sauce. It's delicious :D.. Then we chit chat (as usual) until around 11, and i went back to room. Tired of watching sailormoon from youtube, i went to sleep pretty early, around 12.. ^^... Study no ureca at all yesterday.. but i met alot of people =)
Today... I am focusing on Ureca.. ya, can't keep ignoring it ^^;.. I studied the paper for (almost) the whole day, but didn't seem to put anything on my brain *.* It is simply to difficult for me to digest. ><.. gosh, so hard to start without a basic. Anyway.. William just asked me to continue reading it.. then I just read loh.. hahaha.. Still waiting for his update. Meanwhile.. seems like i began to lost focus from ureca to website... keep finding some wonderful websites.. make me think of updating my website =) Let's see if I will have time (and knowledge) to do that :P
Always,
Erlin.D

Monday... (again!?)
Everyday is a new day... ^^.. Today, i wake up at 11+.. Actually, i had already awake at 9.. but don't know why, as i closed my eyes and opened it again, it already been 11.. ^^;.. hahaha.. I slept at 1 yesterday.. after a meeting at 12am with Long Yi and Khen Hooi. -_-; Btw, i still chatted a while with blazers.. the guys were talking about the Miss Universe. Seems like the final is coming pretty soon. I was amazed to know that Nadine from Indonesia is one of the most favourite miss in the pool! Wow. Hope that she can win ^^v
Today.. i'm having fun..~.. Yesterday just finished one small program.. William said that he might be busy this week, thus just asked me to continue reading.. So.. after waking up.. I did some Welcome Carnival stuff: asked Benjamin to do write up about his circus.. and called Orange for Modern Jazz performance.. =).. Wish that i can get all confirmation in 2 days. Later... i went to can14 to pack for lunch.. then enjoying it with cardcaptor Sakura.. (Itadakimaasstaaaa).. then washed my shirts.. and chats with friends for awhile :D.. Not long after that, Wewoen came to borrow access card. I accompanied her for around 2 hours. She is really a great friend to talk with ^^.. Back to room, replied Wilfin's email.. then Wewoen came again with Lele, asking if I would like to cook together. Why not? So.. we cook macaronni ^^.. Lele.. you're really a good chef! GTD welfare can relax now ^^... hahaha.. we chatted at the kitchen.. then Vera and Dewi also dropped by for awhile (long life Vera!! I just typed your name as you knock the door and offer roasted bread!) hahaha.. Then Lele said that she was just back from Indonesia's Embassy.. bringing IPhO students there. Can you believe, Indonesia got 4 gold and 1 silver and be the absolute winner!! (for your information, there are only 5 delegations from indonsia!) That's cool! What more, that's from 87 countries competing.. ckckck.. 2 thumbs up for Indonesia!
While chatting with blazers yesterday, they introduced me to youtube. From where you can find almost all anime and movie. Unintentionally, i typed Sailormoon.. (as always...) and guest what, it returns all the episodes!!.. i was stunned... but... now.. i think i'm going to enjoy some of them~.. Tralala...~
With the power of moon and love!

Sigh...
Let me continue my last blog. After dinner, we went to Henny's room (again :P). This time, for one purpose: Sandwich!! Hahaha.. Henny was there in room, just finished preparing the stuff. We chit chat while she was having dinner. We chatted a lot.. from movie.. music.. Until our unforgettable memories at Escape last year.. oh.. kindda miss it :') Not long after, Handarmin came along. Then, Henny, Handarmin and I went to prepare for the sandwich. We put sausage and cheese and topping, then put it into microwave. Olala.. i was so surprise to see the result. The cheese melt soo nicely.. ~.. look more delicious than the one at vending machine. hahaha.. and after henny add more stuff: cucumber, tomato, lettuce, bak hu, sauce, mayonnaise.. Nothing can beat it! (slurp..) we made and ate at the kitchen :P.. Not long... 2 loafs of bread were gone.. as the substitute is a high sandwich tower!.. oh.. i should have taken photos... haha.. Finished with it, we went back to Henny's room, eating and watching: Too Fast Too Furious: Tokyo Drift. Well.. the story is so so simple... Not interesting for me who knows nothing about cars.. But maybe that's what guys like to see.. hahaha.. at 10.30.. i went to can 2 for meeting.. just to be turned down again by Long Yi.. =__=.. He said that Keng Hooi hadn't back yet.. thus the meeting is postponed to 11.. so angry... then i went back to Henny's room. Met Vera and Ardis there. Chatted for awhile, later they went back to room for shower. We continued with the movie... then Long Yi called to said that the meeting canceled (expected).. so after the movie.. we chatted again.. Until almost one.. and leave Tatsu and Ryoma in the room :P.. (new gossip euuii. hahaha..)
During the chat, they talked about Hana Yori Dango.. the Japanese version of Meteor Garden.. None of the F4 are handsome.. and the Doumyoji looked like Jacko.. (It is true ^^;) Back to my room... i was no longer sleepy.. hahaha.. thus i tried to watch an episode of it.. one episode.. then curious about the next episode.. next.. next.. until i finished all of them!! Gossh!! it was 5 in the morning when i eventually went to sleep ^^;..
Sunday... Morning call by my Father.. (Brrrrr) He called me at 12.. and surprised to hear my sleepy voice.. Wondering if i was crying. hahaha.. so sorry to worry u, Dad.. Later, i talked awhile with my mum too... today food is steamed chicken.. olala.. i luv it so much... nyam2.. After the phone.. Feeling hungry... thus went for bath and had lunch after that ^^
Eventually, today, i have the will to do Ureca. I went through alot of websites.. then i found the code that i need! Hurraaay... so happy.. then i was busy modifying the code.. ^^.. when i was tired.. i tried to trace the Latin Dance again.. this time, i got improvement :D.. I managed to get to the prez of Dance Sport Academic after 3 times being directed to other people.. Longyi -> CAC Publicity -> CAC Vice Pres -> DSA Prez. ^^;. Then.. i also got the confirmation of rejection from Wan Ho.. (Someone doing acrobat).. Seems like he never really wanted to accept us anyway.. why need to make us pending for so long :S.. Lucky that i insisted him this time. Humph!
So.. after the Welcome Carnival Problem settled.. Continued with Ureca.. Testing, adding stuffs, debugging... until dinner time.. ^^.. having dinner.. then.. Watched an episode of "My name is Earl". (Thanks so much explorer-c for the share!!) It is a comedy series. Winson and Tatsu introduced it to me. After the first episode.. heem.. ok.. more or less, it can be a good substitute of Friends :D.. Earl is someone who believed in Karma a lot. haha.. funny2~
Now.. have just finished and sent the program to William. Wait for Recruitment fair meeting...("At 10.30 ya" --> "C u at hall 3 on 11" --> "Wait for my call before you went there.. i got something urgent") I don’t know until when will i wait.. haiya... Poor stage officer.. ee.. not so poor, we got a very professional looking name card! hahaha :P I'm a bit sleepy now.. Think that I will fall asleep as soon as I'm back from meeting...
Felt that my english become poorer ><,

'Cause you're there for me too
Woow.. I eventually made it to the end!! the whole 10 seasons of Friends! From my first year until now in the gate of third year! hahaha.. Is this an achievement? Well.. Yes for me :P.. Oh.. I feel like i will miss them.. And the opening song.. which i always get ride of.. thus i always heard only the "Cause you're there for me too..." before the scene begin.. hahaha.. (not important at all..) Thanx to my sister for introducing me to such a great comedy :D
There are lot of things i learnt from it, actually. They might hide it in comedy.. but it's what a real life is, afterall. I especially felt it in the last episode.. When Chandler and Monica are moving... Rachel wants to go to Paris... etc etc.. I was like Joey asking... why everything should change?? don't we feel so happy together? But still, the only constant in life is change... In this state, it just feels so right :) I enjoy watching the movie.. but still.. it comes to the end at last.. hahaha... Nice job, Friends ^^ Any other movies to keep me engaged for the next two years? :P
Btw.. I was expecting a much shocking finale episode.. I thought i would see Rachel in wedding gown again.. but it wasn't.. or at least.. i thought Ross was going to porpose her romantically.. may be like the one he planned before.. at the museum or whatever... but there wasn't.. ^^;... doeng... just if i can remember the one who tell me that the finale episode is very romantic.. ><.. would argue with him/her.. haha... So.. this saturday has been so-so to me.. I didn't have the willing to start Ureca yet.. really. From 3 people i need to contact for Welcome Carnival show, i only managed to confirm with one. Another one said that he would call me back later, because he needed to prepare for national day.. and for Latin Dance.. sigh.. i can't even get the contact number ><.. where should i found it? send email yesterday but still got no reply until now.. desperate...
Later in the afternoon.. Inche was online. Asked me to check if there are 23 stuff she had. I counted 3 times and only got 22 ^^;.. when we were panicking, suddenly i realized that i forgot to count the CPU.. fuuiiih.. well done then ^_^ She said that she might get back here on 30 July. Looking forward for her! Ok.. for now.. looking forward for the dinner!!
Weekend!

Heey! It's Friday night!
... Listening to 911 songs: ..."Party, people, hey! It's friday night! Forget monday tuesday wednesday thursday.. it's friday night!.." haha.. Actually, in this holiday mode.. any day just feels the same :P
Let's see what i had done in these 2 days.. heem.. on Thursday, i (eventually) had the power to rearrange my stuff... tidy up everything.. sweep, mop... and iron.. ^^;.. almost took my whole day for all of them. Finished with it, chatted with my relatives for a while.. Jane @ Jakarta.. She is just in third junior highschool.. but can type very fast already... compare with me at the same age? sigh.. i even hadn't touch the computer yet. =.= Why technology didn't come earlier in my age? haha..
Finish chatting, i had shower.. than had dinner with blazers at can 16.. wow.. never knows that can 16 has lots of delicious food too... especially the chinese cuisine.. yesterday i ate Hor Fun.. it was quite nice ^^.. Going to try every menu.. sooner or later :P..
After the dinner, time was around 7. we chit chat for a while, then i went to can 2 for meeting at 8.. just right before i stepped to can 2, the sms came, said that the meeting is delayed until 9.30.. angry with it... but then... i eventually went to henny place.. and watched The Dark together. Around 9 pm, sms came again.. saying that it was postponed again to 11.30!! What kind of meeting is that!? spent most of my time waitiing.. haiyaa.. then i replied that i am "scared" (lazy, actually) to walk alone from hall 14 to can 2 in the midnight.. then.. after lots of sms, the meeting was changed to tmrw, 9.30 at can 2. Heem... this is kind like good news for me.. then i can finished The Dark :p.. haha.. not longer after that, Ivana and Vera came and joined us. We replayed the movie again.. and at around 11.40, we finished the movie with alot of question marks in our head.. ^^;.. discuss the movie for awhile (arguing what it's actually about).. then went to Nancy's place to return her jacket.. + brought her a new pringles. She looked so stress up... Poor Nancy.. she needed to finish the report by that day, and the next day, no body accompanying her to take the 96 beard papa bread ><.. What kind of IA friends are they!? Hopefully that everything is fine... I eventually went home.. talked with Albert for awhile, watch 2 episodes of Friends.. and ZzzZzz
The very next day, Friday, i was waken up by a sms from Long yi.. said that... again, the meeting was postponed to 10.30... :S.. it is so late... and he can't change the venue... suddenly i wanted to stay back at hall 6.. haha... just kidding.. :P.. had an apple, an orange, a glass of milk, and an episode of Friend as breakfast :P.. then reviewing my ureca project awhile.. then went to meet William. He said that this time.. the project is tougher.. ("and with no claimable money.." i added silently :P) thus he needed me to focus alot. he himself is quite busy too... don't know how, conversation eventually lead to his history of taking the Phd... starting from his senior high school story.. blablabla.. we eventually finished the meeting at 2.45.. no need to remember the time actually.. no more claim.. buuuhhh.. (suddenly i notice how 'lui bin' i am... hahahaaa...) So.. my first job is actually short: to extract sentences from files.. heem.. let me try to search from internet today.. ahahha..
Finished with it.. i planned to go back.. as i went to can B, someone stopped me and asked if i have time to do a 30 minutes survey for $5. waah.. since i didn't have anything to do.. then.. ok loor :D.. He took me to NBS office.. i waited there for awhile.. because no more vacant room for the surveyers. During waiting time, i met one very cheerful woman.. should be at the same age with me... she heard the way i talked, then asked from where am I? Later I found out that she is a friend of Fendi! Ohooo.. again, it's a small world after all! hahaha.. she is very friendly, really. She asked alot regarding our language, island, how we feel about singapore, etc etc.. and even asked my MSN.. haha.. Rou Xin, nice to know you! =)
Later.. i went back with $5 pocket money :P.. hohoho.. then have a rest for while.. chat with sister.. not long after that, Rou Xin had already add my msn. Thank you ^^.. Hui Lin just updated me regarding the Welcome Carnival Stage. Yoooz! Going for dinner now! Later got meeting... haha... That's Friday night!
Me,
Erlin.D
Let's see what i had done in these 2 days.. heem.. on Thursday, i (eventually) had the power to rearrange my stuff... tidy up everything.. sweep, mop... and iron.. ^^;.. almost took my whole day for all of them. Finished with it, chatted with my relatives for a while.. Jane @ Jakarta.. She is just in third junior highschool.. but can type very fast already... compare with me at the same age? sigh.. i even hadn't touch the computer yet. =.= Why technology didn't come earlier in my age? haha..
Finish chatting, i had shower.. than had dinner with blazers at can 16.. wow.. never knows that can 16 has lots of delicious food too... especially the chinese cuisine.. yesterday i ate Hor Fun.. it was quite nice ^^.. Going to try every menu.. sooner or later :P..
After the dinner, time was around 7. we chit chat for a while, then i went to can 2 for meeting at 8.. just right before i stepped to can 2, the sms came, said that the meeting is delayed until 9.30.. angry with it... but then... i eventually went to henny place.. and watched The Dark together. Around 9 pm, sms came again.. saying that it was postponed again to 11.30!! What kind of meeting is that!? spent most of my time waitiing.. haiyaa.. then i replied that i am "scared" (lazy, actually) to walk alone from hall 14 to can 2 in the midnight.. then.. after lots of sms, the meeting was changed to tmrw, 9.30 at can 2.

Sunny Eventually ^^
After the Friends marathon yesterday, I woke up at 10+ today ^^;. Washed my blanket.. the prayed that today will be sunny.. ^^ hahaha.. then, got 2 apple and bread as lunch. Need to do some diet to burn 5kg meat from my stomach ^^;.. sports will be good, I know.. but my leg and neck still hurt after the moving day.. can’t compromise yet. Haha.
My sister called through skype today.. she had been complaining about her internet connections several days. However, after a call to the internet company today, the thing settled. The sound is even better than phone! And I could send picture in 10 seconds. Can you imagine? Ckck.. we talked until 4 in the evening, when she needed to cook and I needed to bath. ^^;. Finished bathing, settled some stuff… : apply for ntu scholarship (who knows :P), reply long yi.. (got meeting tmrw night), and also read reply from Prof Lihui (who asked me if I know someone to give scholarship to… sound so odd for me :S) hahaha.. then went for dinner.. Right after that, Vera came and we chatted for a while. Now.. is time for “Friends”!!
Holidaay~

Hall 14
Day after the break up, Nancy came and bought me lunch. Not only that.. She also brought me a tin of Pringles!! I was so touched that I almost cried again. Haha.. She encouraged me a lot. Asked me to be strong, and told me that it’s not the end of the world. We chatted until around 3 o’clock, then she left to go to Bugis. Handarmin and Henny had been there waiting for her. Thanks so much hor Nan. Thanks for finding a time for encouraging me. I know that you might be very busy too.. until you left your jacket here without even knowing it until i told you. Haha.. It was raining almost the whole day. Thus I’m staying at room, tidying up the hundreds of emails I got since I was at indo. Then, at night (or morning?), Henry, Winson, Julianto, Vera, Dewi, Lele, Henny, etc etc.. and I went to block 66 lounge to watch the final of World Cup. I took Italy, therefore Italy won. (Ciiiee, what sentence is that!? Hahaha..) we celebrated it for 5 minutes.. then all of us went back and snored... It was 5 am in the morning.
The very next day I woke up.. It was 2.04 PM! Olala.. I almost can't believe my eyes. Quickly went to have shower. Later, Henry came to help me placed the memory card (thanx Albert to recover my computer at the very first place).. then had lunch together.. and then returning form at Hall 14.. Returning key to Hall 6.. went to OCBC to change my address.. but it was too late by a minute… (I just know that bank closed on 4.30. I reached there at 4.31) then paid my bill.. and kissed the floor as I didn’t notice a bump infront of me. Oucch!!! It hurttts! But to my ego, I stand up quickly and went downstairs to wait for the bus. With still ouchhh3x, I went back to hall 6.. Took the leftover dustbin, and then back to hall 14 after helping Eddy moving the stuff abit. ^^;.. rest a while.. take a shower.. then have dinner with Albert. Thanks a lot for coming :) Later at night, I realized that the bruise is getting bigger and darker. Haiyaa ^^;
Tuesday morning, woke up at 6.30. Surprised? Haha… Got reason, for sure. Our Prez, Helios, was going back to Medan (again), after an unsuccessful trying on Saturday (go to Batam, got no ticket to Medan, back to Singapore again). This times, Julianto and I got the honour to send him back. (Julianto: “Alrite.. I’m the only one who sent him twice.. T__T ”) In the bus, we met Nancy who was going to work. Waah :D. What a coincidence! We chit chat until Outram park, said goodbye to Nancy, then went to Habour Front, and wait until Helios went to the waiting room. After that, we went to pray2 at Bugis, look for cable at Simlim, then have breakfast+ lunch at KFC. Full, we went back.. I bought emulsion and 2 Pringles (alrite2, 1 is for Nancy :P) then back to NTU ^^. Without further postpone, I went to OCBC, with my Fair Price plastic bag and slippers. Hahaha.. Got it done pretty fast. (will be faster if only I didn’t forget the post number and went upstairs to lib to search for it) Right after that, I went back to hall 14 and cleaned up some stuff. At night, have dinner together with Henny, Winson, Juli, Tatsu, Ardis.. (must I mention everyone? ^^;) and etc etc then. Then I watched “some” FRIENDS (from season 9 to 10) and went to sleep..
Btw, after several days at hall14, I would like to compare the hall 14 vs hall 6.. One thing I notice very first.. the water flow on the tap is so soo slooowww. I can hardly wash my face there. How can I like in hall 6, washed my dishes? Uppss :x. The second thing.. The shower room isn’t as nice at hall 6 :’(.. The wardrobe capacity is also smaller.. huk2x.. and in these few days, I had forgot to bring my access card for several times! I thought putting it inside my wallet will be a good solution.. but then, it means I need to take my wallet even to washing machine room. Haiya.. troublesome! :P.. hahaha… anyway, here are the pro.. the internet is surprisingly faster (Albert: “Yeah2, compare with TB rite” ^^;) and it got roof to protect our cloth from rain. Further more, the toilet got bigger mirror, cleaner, and nearer. The hot water and water cooler are also at the same level. Six washing machines instead of 3 in hall 6. Nearer to can 14 with delicious Chinese cuisine although no more beefball... No more dreadful hiking to campus although I got usual to it already… well.. in conclusion, I need to get used to hall 14!! No matter what!! Yaayy!
Still wearing Hall 6 Tshirt,

The Break-Up
I am not talking about the new movie by Jennifer Anniston (thought I want to see it so much :P) I’m talking about my own break up…
8th of July. Albert, Jipau and Andy came to help moving stuffs. Nancy and Winson also helped out.. Thanx a lot for all of you! Really :) We finished the moving pretty fast.. that we didn’t late for lunch. After the lunch, it was left with me and Albert. From his messages and calls during the last 2 weeks, I knew that it must be something he really wanted to talk about. I didn’t need to explain what we discuss. But the result is obvious… We can’t continue our relationship. I might have never written any problems between us in this blog.. but yes, we had them. We managed to tackle them very well so far. However, when it comes to family problems.. what choice do we have? Thus.. That’s it :) Thanx so much for everything, Albert. For all your endless supports. I really learnt much.
From the bottom of my heart… Take care a lot.. and all the best for your future! ^^

Medan -> Batam -> Singapore
Back again to Singapore on 7th July! ^^ The 2 days stay at Medan had been wonderful for me ^^. At the first place, Mum and I planned to order taxi to Medan. However.. Right before I called the taxi… My uncle said that he was going to Medan on the same day! What make it important is that: He got car :P.. Thus.. the very next day.. on July 5th, Mum and I went to Medan, riding KIA.. uhuui.. haha..
1. Medan
During my way to Medan, my friends had already asked me to go out. Thus, as I reached Medan and unpacked my stuff abit, Amin kk sent me to Pasar Ramai. As reflected from its name, it was so so crowded.. Not long after, 3 girls were wandering around, looking for girly stuff :P.. later, we went to Medan Fair, along with another 2 friends… we had so much fun! Chit chat, shopping, and also not forget to eat: A&W :P Around 8pm, Sister picked me up. Then I rest at home, reading comics (Thanx Eka for sending it to me purposely from Jakarta ^^ Promise that I will read every single word in the comics.. haha..) The comics are good, but I fall asleep pretty soon at 11++..
The very next day.. Woke up at 9++.. after showering, went to buy some jeans. Then, went to Thamrin (again), met with other friends. Anita, you didn’t change at all! Hahaha.. we ate Texas there.. Later, Lisa came and 3 of us have nice chat at Fountain. Talked about everything. Hihihi.. We talked so long that we didn’t realize it’s raining.. and didn’t even realize that it had stopped ^^;.. I went back around 4.. not forget to visiting Microskill for a while. It’s really getting bigger and bigger. How many building it has now, Anita? Then, Sister and I went to Timur.. Really miss the place. The smell… the kitchen.. everything, was still so familiar for me.. especially my room, which was still as what it was when I leave it.. dooh.. all my stuff.. the photos, the medals, the gifts, even my books.. really brought back memories :’).. Dolly and Anita usually spent weekend with me there.. Miss you Dol.. why you need to get back to Jakarta all in sudden ><.. Hahaha.. Anyway, after packing some of my stuff, we went to Hypermart.. Bought some snacks.. then ate Beefball (it’s really different with the beefball at sg!! Nyaaaamm) and went home with rotund belly. ^//^. Took rest for a while, chit chat with my sister, then ZzzZzzz 7th July.. Is my departure date! Woke up (still) at 9.00.. Finished with all the packing, we went to have yam cha at Barbura… then all of them sent me to airport… Thanx so much for all your help at Medan, sis.. Bye mum.. bye sis.. bye Amin kk… bye Raymond.. I knew that you will get well soon!!! (PS: 2 days after that, sister told me that he is healthy already! So glad to hear that!) 2. Batam I got a front number at the airplane..: 4A. As I went there, I found out that a fat bourjois man is on my seat already. (the first 3 rows were also all bourjois people. Who are they?) I politely told him that it was my seat.. then he moved. Yes. But with that kind of not happy face. And what worse, I can hardly walk in due to the narrow space left ><. Eventually, I reached inside.. Not long after that, the plane set off. Later as I reached Batam.. I knew that they were all DPR committees. Alrite.. no wonder that the plane set off punctually then. Lucky me, I managed to get out from the plane just as fast as them.. I thought that I might be able to get a taxi and went to Batam Centre in 15 minutes.. but.. however.. the luggage collection took my 30 minutes ><. Then I called a taxi, and went to Batam Center.. ngeeng.. The driver was kind enough. They had a tariff there. It was Rp 70.000 from airport to Batam Center. The taxi is very very clean. Regret nothing when Jipau told me that I actually might find a taxi with Rp 35,000 :P
I reached Batam Centre really2 ontime. After taking care of my fiscal (huuk.. I missed to photocopy one page of my passport.. 1 page Rp 1000 there), I took the boarding ticket, and then went to waiting room. Not long, I boarded the ferry, Island Jade. I was surprised as I got inside there. Ferry is definitely much more comfortable than airplane! (alrite, although we can't compare the speed) It got tables and face-to-face sofas.. 2 flat big TVs for us to watch (featuring Shanghai Knights that time. I can tell you that it was a pirate one :P) and it even got 2 floors! With free flow of plain water.. + we didn’t need to switch off our mobile phone.. waaw :D I truly enjoy the journey. Thanx Albert to introduce it to me!
3. Singapore
Around 7.30 singapore time, I reached Habour Front. Daddy called me as soon as I sms him ^^.. He must has been worrying all the time. Hahaha.. After going through the immigration point, I took MRT to Boonlay. Lousy me didn’t see that the bus interchange has already been moved.. =.=.. I walked with no direction for around 15 minutes.. what worse.. with the 20+ kg luggage with me! Huk3x… But anyway, eventually I reached NTU.. Hall 14.. Winson, Julianto and Henry were there to pick me up :D Thanx so much pals! Later, Winson showed me my room.. (first impression: not bad, it is clean). Then I went back to hall 6 to take some of my stuff. Yah, all of them were already very very tired on that day. Moving 3 girls stuffs never be easy. On my way to hall 6, meet Medy and Calvin. ‘Tried’ (but I myself have no more energy) to help moving Jess’ Monitor.. but eventually being helped my Medy ^^;. Then he and Calvin accompanied me to hall 6. Thanx a lot ya =).. I took all the stuff needed as soon as possible, then started to walk back to hall 14. ngoos.. it wasn’t easy at all. I eventually reached there at 11+. Then started to unpack and clean abit.. Forget of what time I slept on the day… So that’s the journey…
ZzzZzzzz,

3rd July – Albert starts working :D
Today is his first day at work at TECH.. hurray hurray.. (shower him with flower) hahaha.. Fortunately, he had gone through 2 days of orientation there.. thus this first day might not be “all new situation” for him. After all, all the best for you ya!! Worried to hear that you got flu on your first day.. but I know you will get better soon p^^q
Then, what it is for me on this 3rd July? Well, today, my CID result is out. Got B+. Errm.. Satisfied? Not? For me, it's quite fair... Our projet isn't as extraordinary as the poly's one.. but I was abit surprised with the variation of result we got in one group. Yongky and I got B+, while Shirley got B, and Duncan + Peko got B-.. don’t know about Rizky and Wanting yet.. Another info, Medy also got B+. Seems like Peter Loh isn’t as kind as expected? Their group project is definitely superior than ours, both in coding and documentation part. Anyway.. Thanx Kuiyu.. and adios, ya ^^ (please2.. not you again for our Software Engineering 2.. haha..)
Small talk, the word ‘Adios’ I got from the newspaper about football.. at where there is a banner written ‘Adios Argentina’.. haha. Btw, France defeated Brazil! Quite a shock for me. (seems like the football fever has infected me also..)
Yesterday, I just finished watching the trilogy of Godfather (eventually, after 1 year of trying. Haha..) The plot is good.. Seems like it is so easy for them to kill anybody ><.. However, I’m a bit confuse with face recognition. Why they all look the same for me? Hahaha… Anyway, I enjoyed it very much :D
Actually, I opened computer today for my subject registration.. I have doubted about the slow internet connection here.. eventually, it’s proven that I can’t even open my STARS. Huaa.. fortunately, I can sign in to my MSN.. and peko.. thanx so much for helping me out! No longer than 1 minutes, the registration is done.. fuuiiih :D Btw, this time, all Indonesians get into group 2! Includes me! 10+ Indonesian! Imagine that.. what will happen in this semester? Indonesian tutorial, Indonesian lab groups… going to be interesting :P
I’m going to Medan pretty soon.. but I don’t know when yet. I planned to go there on 1st July, actually, for shopping, hanging out with friends, etc.. but. However, Raymond isn’t getting well yet. And even getting more unstable. Today, he was taken to hospital.. since he didn’t want to either eat or drink.. and kept vomiting as he drank milk. I’m so sorry to hear that. Mum too. Especially because he started felt unwell here, at tb. May be it’s our fault to ask sister back for holiday? Ooh.. please. Get well soon, Ray. Auntie worried so much. Aunties to be exact. My sister at China also kept calling to get updated about Raymond situation :(
Heem. Alrite.. don’t want to close this blog sadly.. let’s talk about another things.. heem.. now is durian season already :D.. And this time, all the durians are the very good seeds one. At the first time, I didn’t want to taste it.. I prefer eating biscuits and ice cream rather than durians if both of them will only bring the same sore throat effects. Haha.. But eventually, since dad kept bringing it home.. I ate durians for 5 days already.. ^^; continuously! Haha.. it tastes very good indeed. ^^.. Dad said that I should eat a lot. I won’t get that kind of durians anywhere in Singapore. And also mum. Cook a lot of delicious food everyday.. nyam2… Huahaha.. don’t want to talk about my weight anymore.. Hopefully my friends still recognize me when I am back to sg (Cross hand)
Ok.. so, that’s it for today :D.. Erlin from Tanjung Balai ends it here. See ya again at Sg!
Always,
Erlin.D
PS: btw, Peko said that she visited Sumut during holidays. She almost died in the journey to Toba Lake. Huahaha.. And also managed to spent time for 2 days at Medan. A very organized city from her point of view. Hihihi.. Can’t imagine a java duck travels around at Sumatra ^^
PS2: Inche went to Hongkong. Boly went to Hongkong too. And they met together there! It’s a small world after all ^^;

Their group project is definitely superior than ours, both in coding and documentation part. Anyway.. Thanx Kuiyu.. and adios, ya ^^ (please2.. not you again for our Software Engineering 2.. haha..)
Small talk, the word ‘Adios’ I got from the newspaper about football.. at where there is a banner written ‘Adios Argentina’.. haha. Btw, France defeated Brazil! Quite a shock for me. (seems like the football fever has infected me also..)
Yesterday, I just finished watching the trilogy of Godfather (eventually, after 1 year of trying. Haha..) The plot is good.. Seems like it is so easy for them to kill anybody ><.. However, I’m a bit confuse with face recognition. Why they all look the same for me? Hahaha… Anyway, I enjoyed it very much :D
Actually, I opened computer today for my subject registration.. I have doubted about the slow internet connection here.. eventually, it’s proven that I can’t even open my STARS. Huaa.. fortunately, I can sign in to my MSN.. and peko.. thanx so much for helping me out! No longer than 1 minutes, the registration is done.. fuuiiih :D Btw, this time, all Indonesians get into group 2! Includes me! 10+ Indonesian! Imagine that.. what will happen in this semester? Indonesian tutorial, Indonesian lab groups… going to be interesting :P
I’m going to Medan pretty soon.. but I don’t know when yet. I planned to go there on 1st July, actually, for shopping, hanging out with friends, etc.. but. However, Raymond isn’t getting well yet. And even getting more unstable. Today, he was taken to hospital.. since he didn’t want to either eat or drink.. and kept vomiting as he drank milk. I’m so sorry to hear that. Mum too. Especially because he started felt unwell here, at tb. May be it’s our fault to ask sister back for holiday? Ooh.. please. Get well soon, Ray. Auntie worried so much. Aunties to be exact. My sister at China also kept calling to get updated about Raymond situation :(
Heem. Alrite.. don’t want to close this blog sadly.. let’s talk about another things.. heem.. now is durian season already :D.. And this time, all the durians are the very good seeds one. At the first time, I didn’t want to taste it.. I prefer eating biscuits and ice cream rather than durians if both of them will only bring the same sore throat effects. Haha.. But eventually, since dad kept bringing it home.. I ate durians for 5 days already.. ^^; continuously! Haha.. it tastes very good indeed. ^^.. Dad said that I should eat a lot. I won’t get that kind of durians anywhere in Singapore. And also mum. Cook a lot of delicious food everyday.. nyam2… Huahaha.. don’t want to talk about my weight anymore.. Hopefully my friends still recognize me when I am back to sg (Cross hand)
Ok.. so, that’s it for today :D.. Erlin from Tanjung Balai ends it here. See ya again at Sg!
Always,
Erlin.D
PS: btw, Peko said that she visited Sumut during holidays. She almost died in the journey to Toba Lake. Huahaha.. And also managed to spent time for 2 days at Medan. A very organized city from her point of view. Hihihi.. Can’t imagine a java duck travels around at Sumatra ^^
PS2: Inche went to Hongkong. Boly went to Hongkong too. And they met together there! It’s a small world after all ^^;
