Eventually… Erlin is back! Lucky this is only blog and not face to face communication.. I don’t know if I’m still recognizable now.. All I did in camp is playing under the sun (changing me to black Erlin) and eat (changing me to fat Erlin) but I didn’t sleep well.. (changing me to Panda Erlin).. hahaha..
Anyway.. after all I have been going through.. I would said that I didn’t regret going to the camp ^^.. Got Rina and Winson accompanying. Thus free to take any strange pictures with them :P.. Further more, all the Red Cross members were really kind.. It’s really nice to chat with them ^^.. The first thing we did as we reached Changi Camp was dividing ourselves into small groups. Winson is with me, while Rina with Hana. Then we joined Red Cross member from others groups. It was 11 people in our groups. After that, we followed the opening speech.. I was so sleepy (sleep at 4+, wake up at 6+, reach can a at 7+, but the bus was going only at 8 ><) that I needed to focus all my energy to keep my eyes opened.. and left with no energy to listen to what he said. Winson said that it’s about 7 principles of Red Cross: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality. (don’t get shock. I didn’t remember them, I searched from internet.) Then continued with the fact that Red Cross was also known as Red Crescent in some countries (search by yourself for reasons :P)… After the opening ceremony, we began with games. Our jobs were to save the world from terrorism!! (what a GTD-kind orientation..) hahaha.. We played 3 games.. then stopped for lunch (nice luuunncchh o^o^o).. and then continued to play again. Our group was quite fun.. and all the games were fun, too ^^ I really need to push myself to join all the games. First is to climb high to the stone to be safe from ‘tsunami’.. Second is to pass through from stone to stone which is 1 meter from ground, by using 10cm thickness block. >.<.. I was really scared to fall down. Third one was to swing all the way from one side to another side.. Which wasn’t as easy as expected… T_T.. why all the guys can do it without any concern.. sigh.. anyway, I passed through all the games. Really hard games for me.. Finished with games, I didn’t go rafting.. really really too sleepy.. thus I went to nap.. reasoning that I didn’t bring slipper. Hohoho. I tried to sleep for one hour, end up that I didn’t really sleep at all, but at least I rested… then went for dinner with them. Finished dinner, we had “fashion-show”, where representative from each chapter must be ‘dressed’ with newspaper, cans, plastic bags, and some funny things.. huahaha.. Rina and I dressed up Mei2 as Princess of Cans :P we even made the crown and stick from can.. not bad.. but too bad that we didn’t win :( However, it’s really fun ;).. after the pageant, it followed with jam band. We really can’t handle the sleepiness anymore.. eventually, Benard, Hana, Rina, Winson and I went back to ‘room’ and sleep. Bernard set the phone alarm to 23.00. So that we can wake up as the supper began :P.. huahaha.. And then.. using bag as my pillow and sce jacket as my blanket.. I fall to a deep deep sleep.. until I heard “That’s all for today! Thanks so much….! Don’t leave now cause we still have supper and movie screening!” Spontaneously I wake up :P.. Hana who was beside me was also up. So did Bernard. However, Rina and Winson didn’t react. Even as we shouted up their name.. Not something to be surprised of. We stayed near Changi, and a huge plane passed by every 5 minutes. We had to get usual to the sound if we want to sleep well. Haha.. then I eventually began to tickle Rina. Eventually she woke up. She was so sleepy that I felt guilty to wake her up.. then.. we went down.. and found out that the supper was only bread.. and milo.. huhu.. we wanted BBQ!! Haha.. but, eventually, we ate the bread.. also drank. That’s the third milo of the day for rina, winson and me. We drank Milo in the morning before we set off.. then in the afternoon during teabreak.. and now Milo again for supper.. huahaha.. Winson was complaining that Milo is ‘hot’ and can caused pimple.. but he drank it anyway :P.. finished with the supper, we accompanied Mrs Chan for awhile.. who was trying to take photos of airplane using her mobile. Later, around one, we watched the movie screening for awhile.. then went to ZzzZzz..
Late at night, I talked by myself >.<.. winson shocked, woken up, and asked if I’m alright. I suddenly woke up too, and can consciously answered Winson that I was alrite.. olala.. so ashamed. Lucky that Rina didn’t wake up. I was dreaming talking with my father. Shocked too to see that it was Winson instead. Huahaha..
Morning, almost everybody woke up at 7. So did I.. But then.. I checked the schedule.. stated that the morning call is at 8 instead… so I slept again, regardless of everybody already waken up and gone for bath. Eventually, at 7.30.. I opened my eyes again.. seeing that nobody else is sleeping except me.. >.<.. felt shy.. then needed to wake up also.. haha.. Hana and Rina came back just as I was going for shower. Then they waited for me.. and had breakfast together.. again.. it was bread.. and Milo? Hahaha.. no more.. today is coffee. (may be I wake up too late) finished with bread and coffee, we chatted for awhile, then had a forum for 2 ½ hours. Winson and I sat at the first row for the publicity job.. and gosh.. I really regretted that. I almost fall asleep in every 10 minutes.. =__=.. eventually, the time passed also and we had our lunch at 1. Finished with lunch, we took photos near the sea.. As we saw a ship like titanic, Rina and I pretented to be Jack and Ross.. I hold her hand and we kept laughing.. huahaha.. not turned out to be ‘romantic’ as expected.. but.. not bad lar :P We took RHCN NTU photos also.. then went to stage for the closing ceremony. The camp was officially closed at around 2. However.. then, they came to business. One of the organizer committee stood up and said that we need to help the organizer to clean up the place. It’s not right if the organizer need to clean it up by themselves.. thus.. eventually, job being drawn and every group was given different task. Cleaning the canteen, room, out space.. and guessed what our group got? Cleaning the toilet!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa T___T.. How lucky am I to be in the group? There were almost 15 groups.. and group 11 and 12 got the honour to clean the toilet!! Worse – the male toileeett!! Where the hole got stuck and made a pool there >.<.. I don’t waaanttt.. helppp.. but I did it anyway.. along with Winson. T_T.. Rina helped cleaning up the canteen. We did it until around 3.. then went back to NTU.. got the chicken rice (from lunch) again to charge up energy at bus. Haha.. I care of fat no more.. ate it at bus.. then slept until we reached NTU. The bus sent us until each bus stop.. so nice.. ^^.. thanx so much!! So. Eventually.. I am.. back from the 2 days camp.. with new experience of washing (male!!!) toilet T_T hahaha..
Back to hall.. waste no more time.. needed to do the laundry.. then washing dishes.. etcetc.. finished with all the stuff, rest for awhile… then help Ivana to install the Chinese character reading.. then go to Blazers meeting.. and now is 12… haven’t started anything for my 303 yet.. leave it for tomorrow ba.. haha.. btw.. MSE got AGM already tomorrow. Wonder where will ours be? Hope that they didn’t do another last minutes job like the interview.
Fat + Black,

Saturday, August 26, 2006
What a week...
This whole week has been so peek for me.. Need to say too that I didn’t have healthy meal this week.. hahaha.. Not that I skipped lunch or anything.. but, this is about the type of food I ate.. Let me start it now.. on Saturday, we had Red cross fund’s raising. Medy, Winson, Calvin, prez’s subcom and I went to Dhoby Ghaut, to Red cross headquarter. After collecting the tin, we took free bus to China town. Reached there around 4. Be there, done that. Thus, we started the fund raising. I stand at the junction until around 8. Not bad, managed to finished 40% of the stamps given.. + got so many new experiences.. where else will you be asked to smile and being snapped by the Mexico tourist? Haha.. Some of them were very generous.. giving $2 notes without even wanting a stamp. Even one taxi driver purposely stopped at the junction and gave me 2 dollar. Wow.. Red cross’ power is surely different with NTU’s. Hahaha.. It was said that ‘Ang Mo’ never gave donation. It was almost proven, with one exception. I don’t know if he was a foreigner or not, but then, he gave to me all the coins he had (around $3!) and still said sorry that he didn’t have notes ^^;.. hahaha.. that’s not a problem sir. Thanks so much for avoiding me from stereotyping. Some trash collector also gave money… I was really impressed :)..
I collected the money until almost 8pm. I got 6 or 7 $2 notes that day. Then we returned to headquarter… rest for awhile, and then had dinner together at Carl’s Jr. From the first place, Calvin kept warning me that I wont be able to finish the burger.. it’s very big… thus it’s better if I share with others. Eventually, we made a bet. If only I can finish one portion by myself.. He treated. At the end of the day, I got free dinner. Thanks, partner! :P We eventually reached NTU again around 11.
Saturday finished with burger. On Sunday evening, we have BBQ at Staff Service Center. There, I got to know more about the Red Cross committee. I would like to say that although the point or the club category might be much lower, the professionalism is there in the Red Cross. I was surprised to know that most of the committee weren’t Singaporean, but Malaysian and China instead. But they’re all very friendly ^^.. And hard working. Glad to know all of you! :D.. After the BBQ, we have our first meeting. Lucky that it didn’t end too late.. only at around 10.30. I discussed some stuff with Calvin, then went back to hall.. and Zzz..
The next day.. was Monday already. You might think that I summarize too little.. but time really flies!! Monday, I had Red Cross subcomm recruitment, concurrently with the rally for CEC 7th Management Committee.. =___=.. lucky that the recruitment started at 6.. so I still can accompany Calvin for about an hour. Feel bad to leave after that. Haha.. The rally went on until 10.30. Everything settled? Of course not! Then all the 6th committee need to interview the candidate, one by one. Doeeengg.. That day was the day I broke my sleeping routine. I came back to hall only at 4. Lucky that we got welfare from President: Mac Donald. Arianto told me that the most expensive one is double spicy mac.. so that’s the one I chosen.. huahaha.. joking2.. but, really, it’s spicy! Feel like I am home at Indonesia. Hahaha.. Anybody curious can try ;).
Apart from the food, let’s talk abit about the candidates ^//^.. (wasn’t it should be the main topic?) Rudi was very very funny!! During the rally he said: “My past year experience as CEC publicity subcomm.. helping in designing notice board, doing lecture announcement… blablabla… and also taking care of Popcorn stall during Exclaim”.. Muaahahaha.. all of people at LT10 laugh. In the contrast, the 2 president candidates were hatred-bringer. One is Malla, last year bizmag. Adi, Erikson, Alfonso.. everybody don’t-like-him so much that we wish anybody – no matter who – can replaced him. There is another candidate. Singaporean. A good friend of 5th management committee’s president. Good resume, huh? But wait until we hear the way he talked. He used vulgar word, saying the lecturer stupid, and didn’t even standing in answering our questions! Can you imagine what if this kind of person ruling CEC? Sigh.. suddently I think that Malla isn’t too bad. Haha.. Wait until I came to the voting result :P
So.. the very next day.. on Tuesday.. I got lecture in the morning. I slept at 5.. and I really almost can’t make it at 7.. thus I eventually up at 8.. shower.. breakfast.. then attend an half hour lecture.. really.. I felt so sleepy for the whole Tuesday.. ate western for lunch.. then also had subcomm interview at night.. along with the photo taking and meeting. I came back to hall only at 11. On Wednesday.. is the GEBEN 8 day. I helped out in the goodie bag booth, along with Ilfina, Alfonso, Alex, Julian, etcetc. I came at the right time, 10.30. They need help, and I got a lot of free food: Pizza, Hotdog, Bluberry bread, breadtalk.. that’s all simply nyummy :D.. really charging up my energy :P.. huahaha.. The rest of Wednesday is fine for me… Actually I need to go to Redcross Headquarter to order some publicity stuff for awareness week (which is duty distributed during meeting) but I got tutorial at night.... thus eventually Calvin went there with prez’s subcomm. He came back only at 12! Sigh… Red Cross is really not easy. It’s much more like ‘real organization’ than CEC. Here, we related with other people outside NTU. In more common respective, outside from SCE students. I’m actually got the ‘different’ feeling of having subcomm from all over the different school. On the subcomm recruitment, I also meet Tika and Hanna, the freshie in Dear Dekil. For sure, I asked them to join me :P.. huahaha.. Calvin knew a lot of politic instead. He asked me to recruit more of our friends.. thus it’s easier to control. Further more, since we got 30+ subcomms, we need to organize it to layer: 2 maincomms, several subcomm heads, and also the subcomms. We just need to update the subcomm heads, then the subcomm heads will contact the rest. It’s quite an efficient way.. (Ari, why we didn’t do it last year? Haha..) experience gained! One people in charged of the administrative stuff.. One people in charged of website.. and so on and so on. It can make the subcomm feels useful too. I like those ideas! Managing all 30 subcomms by ourselves was really almost impossible.
On Thursday, It was union day! Got half day off.. but still I need to prepare for meeting. After voting for SCE, I went to library and typing stuff. We have our first Subcomm Meeting at 6pm. Due to the crowd, we eventually changed to Tutorial room. Of course, I, as a communication’s officer didn’t forget to bring camera. We asked all the subcomm to introduce themselves one by one, infront of the class. That’s actually the purpose of the meeting: To let them know each other more. Inche and Ilfina were also there :D.. hahaha.. Btw.. I’m still so nervous to talk.. even only to my subcomm :’(.. lucky that Calvin did much of the talking. We finished at around 9.. then I went to server room.. helping the rest to count vote. Around 10.. it was finished.. and the winner for president is…. Jreng jreng jreeennnggg.. the Singaporeaann.
I was really shocked !! Even Xin Yi said… : The best of the worst.. and even desperately suggest to close the club activity for 1 year. Huahaha… If I’m to choose between Malla and him, I really will choose Malla... haha.. The election committee decide that the ‘Against’ won’t be counted for president. Since they might get minus vote if we do so (againt = -1 vote. Abstain = 0 vote). Gee.. I didn’t understand where had all the potential candidate gone… At the end of the count, Henry got it (almost with full support) to the Logistic Officer position. Moja also make it to treasurer. So did Hans and Wayan as IT officer. And Edmond as Academic Archive.. Yongky vs Erikson vs Singaporean situations weren’t solved yet. Yongky n Erikson got the highest vote.. however.. our president was concerned with their IA next semester. Erikson got the highest vote.. but Yongky is the best sport man.. and the president prefer it. Whose name will come out? Only at this blog :P.. hahaha..
Ok.. eventually we reached Friday. Now is 4am already. I just back from the blazers BBQ at 1.30.. May be is a bit rush BBQ, but it was really well done. A bit sad that I can’t join the whole event, since Medy called me at the middle of event asking for help in photoshop.. however, they reserved all the food for me.. nyam2.. the nuggets, sausage, chicken wings, drink.. all were so tasty ^^.. hahaha… seems like I’m going to dream about it today. Btw, tomorrow (to be more exact, in the next 3 hours) I will be going to Changi, for Red Cross Common Orientation. It’s 2 days orientation.. thus I’m going to stay there tomorrow.. weew… will (again) be a new experience for me. Feel glad that I got Rina and Winson along with me ^^
Alrite alrite.. seems like I need to end the blog now.. Really really sleepy.. but I really want to blog just now.. so.. sorry for my poor English :P
Carl’s Junior, BBQ, Mac Donald, Chicken Cutlet, Pizza, Hotdog, and BBQ again…
What a healthy life I am living.. huaahaha.. Waiting for the next BBQ in this orientation! :P
There is always a time for everything!
Erlin.D
PS 1: Sorry for my CSC303 group >.<.. will make it up to you as I go back!!! ^^
PS 2: Congratz Medy and Shen Nan for the CSC1 deanlist! Also Hans and Erikson! 3 of 7 CSC2 deanlist are from Indonesia! we made it again! :D Not forgetting Henry and Venny representing CE :D
I collected the money until almost 8pm. I got 6 or 7 $2 notes that day. Then we returned to headquarter… rest for awhile, and then had dinner together at Carl’s Jr. From the first place, Calvin kept warning me that I wont be able to finish the burger.. it’s very big… thus it’s better if I share with others.

Life is like a roller coaster…
There are so many ups and downs. In this whole week, I had been experiencing it out. Let’s (again) continue the story from my last blog.. when my printer was broken. Well.. before that, my desk lamp was broken on Friday. I report it online to hall officer... however, until Tuesday, I got no reply at all. It might be a small defect, but it was irritating to ‘try’ studying without a lamp… (or it’s me who was lazy afterall? :P) To complete all of those, my headset was also dying at the week end.. Can’t chat with my sister.. and can’t listen to music.. oh.. I was really stress up ><><.. and worse.. when we’re going back to school, it rained so hard that we eventually all wet… On those times, I really wanted to believe that life is like a wheel.. and I was just happened to be on down side of wheel right now…
On Monday, I took all my books (except for those being borrowed) for 2nd hand sales. On Wednesday, my life seemed to go up. Wednesday morning before I went to school, I went to Hall office complaining about the desk lamp. They told me that it might took about one week.. which made me more desperate.. however.. on the evening, Inche told me that the Keppel had came and fix it. First good thing eventually happened ^^.. Second.. I was thinking of taking the same index for accounting with Henry. However, there was no more vacancy.. Thus I eventually needed to stick with my 6pm schedule instead of going for the 3pm one. It turned out that Henry’s tutor is ‘the auntie’, who had been warned by Boly Irene cs for her ‘lo so’ ness. I was taught by the lecturer.. not too bad.. although it ended only at 7.30, at least I still got bus to go back :D
On Thursday morning, I went to (learn to) swim with Inche as my Instructor :P.. I still can do nothing.. but at least I tried and enjoyed playing water. Hahaha.. Finished with it, I went to collect the unsold books and money. Turned out that except one, all the books were sold!!! Kyaaa (Masli, remember that I owe you $19) Even MB362 and MB218 books were sold! Only Effective Communication left unsold, since the lecture is now under HSS instead of SCE. At night, Rina, Winson, and I joined the Red Cross Maincomm recruitments. We needed to do presentation. From the voting form, I predict that my presentation will be in the middle, no matter they went through it upside down or inverse. However, Communications Officer eventually get the honor to be the last portfolio presenting =____=. The LT26 was freezing cool.. and I felt so relieved when it’s all ended.. Almost all blazers came to support us. My greatest thanks to all of you ^^.. We had a nice supper (chiken wing, egg, currypuff, nyam2) while waiting for the voting result. The result was out at around 11. I was happy to be chosen.. However, I’m much much more happier when I know Rina and Winson made it through too :D :D.. Congratulations to both of you!! Will see you more in this year v^^v.. We reached hostel almost 12.. I settled some stuff… Rudi asked for advice on rally.. Well, I know that you can do much better than me! Ganbattee!! ^^.. Btw.. Rudi also faced the same ‘situation’ with me.. On the same day, he broke his ankle during modern jazz audition, slipped at steps, banged to wall, caught cold and cough, and last.. as he was back from shower, he said that he just slipped at toilet. The door he was in can’t be opened.. thus he needed to jump out and slipped. Duuh… Rud Rud.. :’(.. Don’t be too sad, ya. I believe you will have a very big success on rally this Monday!! Jia yooou!!! Ilfina, Rudi, Henry, Evan, Yongky, Erikson, Irene, Edmond.. and everyone who had applied for CEC maincomms this year.. All the best for all of youuu!! Made the CEC clubs ‘your very own club’!! hohohoo.. There will be 31 contestants this year. Quite a big numbers. Strange that after there is no point system, everybody wants to be a maincomm… ^^;
On Friday.. I got Artificial Intelligence text book from imall, for $20!! It was cheap! The lowest price was at $25 from 2nd handbook sales.. hoho.. happy to get the book.. I also got Network book quite cheap.. $15 for the latest edition =).. *just wish that I will read them.. * hahaha.. On the same day, I sold one SCE jacket to a freshie, who kept wanting the jacket and said that the design is nice *fly2*.. and also settled the problem with one buyer who hasn’t take her jacket for half year.. anyway.. the wheel of life seems to turn down again on the very same day. I got distracted a lot during lectures, don’t know why. I even forgot to bring my CSC301 lecture notes >.<. My lesson finished at 6.30.. as I was thinking of catching up for my accounting which is 2 weeks behind, Medy said that I need to distribute flyers to all hall 14 residents by today.. And Calvin wanted to discuss how to publicize the upcoming events.. while the red cross fund raising teams called me to join the flag day tomorrow. I almost don’t know which task should I concentrate on first. I eventually went back to hostel blurry.. There is no one around since all blazers were going to watch concert. Around 9.. they called and asked if I wanted to join for supper. Of course I do.. They asked me to contact handarmin, so that we can go together.. however.. Handarmin was uncontactable.. thus I eventually didn’t meet them all :(
Try not to be so miserable, I went back to room and went to toilet to wash my socks (ha.. wasn’t it miserable?) Finished hanging them.. I tried to open my room’s door. It was locked. And I didn’t bring the key with me. And Inche was at JW. Hah? What logic is this? Then who was locking the door!?... Anybody inside!? My heart started to throb faster.. I brought nothing but camera with me (Strange huh..) then I directly went to Vera’s room. Lucky that she was at room.. I borrowed her mobile and called Inche. Inche was shocked too (for sure.. everybody was shocked). She asked if I left the key plugged on the door when I went to toilet. Good question. That’s one possibility.. But I believed I didn’t! ><.. Eventually, Vera, Dewi, Cipto, and their other friend accompanying me until Inche was back, along with Tomy and Stephen. During that periods, I had been going down checking my window situation several times.. whether got anybody jumped out.. It was the worst case.. however.. that’s the only logical possibility I can think of. Inche opened the door.. And all of us waiting to see the inside.. Braak. No one inside. My wallet and keys were sitting nicely on my table. The window was closed.. just like when I left it. Directly, we checked everywhere.. down the bed, inside the wardrobe.. Everywhere. But nothing found. Neither missing. Straaangeee!!! I was totally confused. After all.. since nothing happened.. I thanked them.. and they went back to Vera’s room. I apologized to Tomy Stephen Inche for ruining their supper.. and eventually we cooked Indomie as the substitute. (3x100 g + 3x120g for 4 people) We ate.. chatted.. and I tried to release my tense.. But I can’t help to calm down. I didn’t know why.. Eventually, out from all my craziness, I drank one cup of coffee at 11.30pm. Now is 4am. Tomorrow will be fund raising day for me.. So.. no T-Spray for me this year… :’( Monday will be Red Cross’s Subcomm recruitment.. Without any point given, I still hope that the turn out will be good.
Still confused with the door matter,
Erlin.D
On Monday, I took all my books (except for those being borrowed) for 2nd hand sales. On Wednesday, my life seemed to go up. Wednesday morning before I went to school, I went to Hall office complaining about the desk lamp. They told me that it might took about one week.. which made me more desperate.. however.. on the evening, Inche told me that the Keppel had came and fix it. First good thing eventually happened ^^.. Second.. I was thinking of taking the same index for accounting with Henry. However, there was no more vacancy.. Thus I eventually needed to stick with my 6pm schedule instead of going for the 3pm one. It turned out that Henry’s tutor is ‘the auntie’, who had been warned by Boly Irene cs for her ‘lo so’ ness. I was taught by the lecturer.. not too bad.. although it ended only at 7.30, at least I still got bus to go back :D
On Thursday morning, I went to (learn to) swim with Inche as my Instructor :P.. I still can do nothing.. but at least I tried and enjoyed playing water. Hahaha.. Finished with it, I went to collect the unsold books and money. Turned out that except one, all the books were sold!!! Kyaaa (Masli, remember that I owe you $19) Even MB362 and MB218 books were sold! Only Effective Communication left unsold, since the lecture is now under HSS instead of SCE. At night, Rina, Winson, and I joined the Red Cross Maincomm recruitments. We needed to do presentation. From the voting form, I predict that my presentation will be in the middle, no matter they went through it upside down or inverse. However, Communications Officer eventually get the honor to be the last portfolio presenting =____=. The LT26 was freezing cool.. and I felt so relieved when it’s all ended.. Almost all blazers came to support us. My greatest thanks to all of you ^^.. We had a nice supper (chiken wing, egg, currypuff, nyam2) while waiting for the voting result. The result was out at around 11. I was happy to be chosen.. However, I’m much much more happier when I know Rina and Winson made it through too :D :D.. Congratulations to both of you!! Will see you more in this year v^^v.. We reached hostel almost 12.. I settled some stuff… Rudi asked for advice on rally.. Well, I know that you can do much better than me! Ganbattee!! ^^.. Btw.. Rudi also faced the same ‘situation’ with me.. On the same day, he broke his ankle during modern jazz audition, slipped at steps, banged to wall, caught cold and cough, and last.. as he was back from shower, he said that he just slipped at toilet. The door he was in can’t be opened.. thus he needed to jump out and slipped. Duuh… Rud Rud.. :’(.. Don’t be too sad, ya. I believe you will have a very big success on rally this Monday!! Jia yooou!!! Ilfina, Rudi, Henry, Evan, Yongky, Erikson, Irene, Edmond.. and everyone who had applied for CEC maincomms this year.. All the best for all of youuu!! Made the CEC clubs ‘your very own club’!! hohohoo.. There will be 31 contestants this year. Quite a big numbers. Strange that after there is no point system, everybody wants to be a maincomm… ^^;
On Friday.. I got Artificial Intelligence text book from imall, for $20!! It was cheap! The lowest price was at $25 from 2nd handbook sales.. hoho.. happy to get the book.. I also got Network book quite cheap.. $15 for the latest edition =).. *just wish that I will read them.. * hahaha.. On the same day, I sold one SCE jacket to a freshie, who kept wanting the jacket and said that the design is nice *fly2*.. and also settled the problem with one buyer who hasn’t take her jacket for half year.. anyway.. the wheel of life seems to turn down again on the very same day. I got distracted a lot during lectures, don’t know why. I even forgot to bring my CSC301 lecture notes >.<. My lesson finished at 6.30.. as I was thinking of catching up for my accounting which is 2 weeks behind, Medy said that I need to distribute flyers to all hall 14 residents by today.. And Calvin wanted to discuss how to publicize the upcoming events.. while the red cross fund raising teams called me to join the flag day tomorrow. I almost don’t know which task should I concentrate on first. I eventually went back to hostel blurry.. There is no one around since all blazers were going to watch concert. Around 9.. they called and asked if I wanted to join for supper. Of course I do.. They asked me to contact handarmin, so that we can go together.. however.. Handarmin was uncontactable.. thus I eventually didn’t meet them all :(
Try not to be so miserable, I went back to room and went to toilet to wash my socks (ha.. wasn’t it miserable?) Finished hanging them.. I tried to open my room’s door. It was locked. And I didn’t bring the key with me. And Inche was at JW. Hah? What logic is this? Then who was locking the door!?... Anybody inside!? My heart started to throb faster.. I brought nothing but camera with me (Strange huh..) then I directly went to Vera’s room. Lucky that she was at room.. I borrowed her mobile and called Inche.

It’s Monday…
I woke up at 7.30.. due to tutorial at 8.30.. The first tutorial of the week.. and the tutor is.. jreng jreeeng jreeenggggggg… Narendra.. =___=… Our discrete math teacher.. from whom I learnt but his blonde hair ><.. huk3x.. felt that my sacrification was meaningless >< book =").."><.. haha.. We chatted for almost an hour.. then he went to popular.. and I went to dreamland for awhile, before continuing lecture at 12.30.. I felt stupid to have lunch before lecture.. because right after that.. I slept soundly on CSC301 lecture ><.. hahahaa.. for the next AI lecture, I wasn’t sleepy anymore… but since it’s stated that AI will be opened book, I somehow didn’t try to memorize what the lecturer say ^//^.. finished with the lecture, back again to library.. and waiting for the Red Cross maincomm interview. Replying some friends email.. then went there with Medy and Calvin. Not long after, suddenly Jess’ head pop out from the tutorial room’s door.. then came Henry, Winson and Christian. Huaa.. eventually the team were here.. hahaha.. I needed to wait around half hour before getting my turn. Medy crueeel! He really asked questions. (Ha? What he supposed to do then? Haha..) First he asked me to tell him about myself.. then asked about the publicity related job. You’re really acting professional, Medy ;).. Finished with the interview, I went for dinner with Calvin and his friend.. then ride bus back to hall.. Meet Linda at the bus stop.. chatted with her while waiting for bus.. She already got a job from her IA company! Can you imagine? Ckck.. that’s cool, Linda :) All the best for you hor! Haha.. I reached hall at almost 8.. bathed, blogged.. prepared for tomorrow.. then suddenly Malla called and asked me to finish a poster design by today.. Dooh! ><.. can’t it be more urgent than it? I needed to accept it after all, for sure.. He called me at 10pm.. but then.. until now.. it’s 12 already.. still got no sign that he is going to send me an email ><.. tired.. Erlin is tireed.. Btw.. Malla will run for president next year.. and he offered me the Financial Controller position.. I said that I have no experience in finance stuff.. and had already apply for red cross.. He shocked and asked for what I join red cross for!? No experience isn’t a point. Lay sum can help me out… and he urged me to back to committee.. even giving me hon gen position if I wanted it.. duuh… I really don’t like this kind of situation.. feels so guilty to out from the committee ><.. I kept rolling back the topic to publicity stuff, then ended the call. Should I have joined CEC instead? Or Red Cross? Or both? (Desperate mode) hahaha…
Btw.. one last news before I closed this blog.. My printer, HP Deskjet 880C was eventually rest in peace this week.. after months of sickness since its staying at Hall 14. :’( haha.. Thanks so much for being there for me.. Since I was in Tanjung Balai, Medan, until Singapore. Hope that I can still be able to sell the refill Ink.. :P :P
ZzzzZzz,

2nd Week!
Erlin is back!! After one week of vacuum, here come the 201 post! :P hahaha.. As I mentioned last week, I had welcome carnival and GTD at the same time.. here, let me summarize the things I had been going through ^^
On Tuesday, the rehearsal of GTD finished at around 11. Impressed with others’ effort and felt that our performance isn’t good enough, we practiced again on Wednesday, from 9am until almost 1pm. I spent the rest of the National Day resting, charging for the upcoming events :D
And… here came the Thursday. Woke up at around 8, bathed, then went to meet my counselor. I couldn’t add my GE since I already exceed my GE requirement.. thus.. I needed to go through pink form. Dr Timo, as usual, was very helpful.. He asked about my result even before I talked about it.. I said that it wasn’t very good.. then he looked at my degree audit and act like “Jesus! What kind of grade is this? OMG.. how can you obtain such grades!?” but then he laughed and conformed me.. saying that my grades were really fine.. And just asked me to do my best this semester. He also looked at the subject I taken this time.. Warn me that AI is a killer subject.. while Engineers and Society.. honestly, I was shocked to hear he said that it’s a rubbish *stunned* The subject is taught by Arlene Sebastion.. and he said that the book she written isn’t even worth reading.. glek.. Although it’s true, (99% of seniors said so), but I still can’t believe he dared to said like that to his own colleague ^^;.. haha.. He asked me not to tell anybody, though. Haha.. He is funny, really. Glad to have the best lecturer as my counselor :P..
Out from his office, nervous no more, I went to the Welcome Carnival Stage. Some contractors were decorating. I had breakfast and cup of coffee (thanks for the welfare! :P) Then the MC came at around 11, while the events started at 11.30. The first day of Welcome Carnival stage.. I can said, quite a mess. A lot of schedule being dragged and even canceled.. only because the E&I director can’t come on time, and asking for another time slot, then change and change again :S.. A bit mad that time.. but still can say nothing. Oh, Miko is also in charged for the E&I week. She was as energic as usual :P
Although with lot of changes, the 1st day of Welcome Carnival was eventually passed. After the event, I rush to change GTD clothes and went to Com Hall 12, ready for the photographer job :P.. haha.. There, for the first time, I met all the freshie. The freshie were much more from last years. More than 160 freshie signed up. I snapped all the Orientation Groups.. then had the opening ceremony.. then drama.. introduction of each OG.. Mass games.. ooh.. there are also it’s so much fun.. especially when it comes to supper time :P.. hahaha.. The first day finished at almost 12. I went back soon, transferred photos.. then charging both the camera battery and mine…
Next morning, wake up even earlier. Went to the stage.. found no body, then went to General Office to settle the Server Room stuff. Yeah, the server room lock had been changed, and I can’t get in to get the stuff. It has been for a week. After the GO promised that they would help me to settle the card and informed me asap, I went back to stage.. talked with my partners.. then entered class until around 11.30. Back, I was lucky to enjoy the percussion and magic shows that I dealt with. The percussion wasn’t bad.. but the magic shows was amazing! I never saw so much crowd before.. and Benjamin really knew his stuff. He performed for 1 hour.. ended it with a big applause from crowd. That’s the most worthwhile $200 I spent on stage. Haha.. finished with the show, then I thanked them.. settled the payment, gave goodies, and accompanied them waiting for taxi. Later.. I went for another lecture.. and back again there after the lecture.. having chicken rice as lunch (thanks again for the welfaareee ^o^) helping with the goodies back distribution for awhile.. then run back for 3 hours lecture. In the middle break, I got a free fat analysis. Shocked to know that I was 5kg fatter that what I assumed to bee!!! (the current weight is a secret, anyway :P) Huuaaa >< them ="D."><.. (who is bleky, anyway?) hahaha..
Finished with the sport games, went back to have shower, charging my camera battery.. then went back for sandwich.. ee.. for watching the junior performance ^///^.. hahaha.. This is Indo Night already. The dress code is “Indonesia”.. thus I eventually wore red shirt + white jeans ^^ There are a lot of people there.. Ivana, Wewoen, Karlina, Lili, Tatsu, Arianto, Yuku, Cipto, and lots lots more. They also have PINUS and SMUKI representatives!! And Prof of EEE as guest of honours. Also.. for the international student interaction, they present the former president of NTU SU!!! Mr Shut up (Sorryyy.. I still don’t know how to write his name up to now ><).. and also a student from Thailand.. who else if not Mint from our dear CEC!!! Woow.. Helen and Lin sien were the MC for the Indo Night. Great MCs. Really. The dinner was also nice.. ^^.. after all the junior performance, there come the main committee performance.. Vera was really cooolll!! Almost everybody shouted her name when she was dancing. You’re the starrr, gal!! ^^ I clapped so hard that my hand felt nothing. Haha.. So much fun.. the closing was so sacral, with live biola performance and solo.. I simply impressed. Eventually it was done.. After 6 months of togetherness.. eventually :’) :’).. I’m really happy. This might not be a school formal committee.. The committee isn’t getting any subsidize nor points.. even need to pay for the GTD itself.. however, I can feel how they’re so serious in everything.. how crucial everybody roles in it.. and how they put they best effort in it… I experienced it. How Stephanie needed to practice for drama until 3am and woke up early in morning.. how Yongky and Duncan got meeting until morning.. and how hard Vera practice dancing.. All the things they did. Without complain.. It’s really impressive =). Not like what happened in other formal committee I joined so far... while everybody try to push the job to others >< haha.. Ok2.. I talked to much already.. Last words.. Thanks the GTD committee for the valuable experience!! Yongky, Duncan, Magha, Ming2, Max, Andri, Jo.. and everybody.. You’re all the besttt!!!

Celebrating my 1st day of school, celebrating my 200th posts =D
Eventually :D :D.. It reaches 200 o^^o.. happy2.. I need more than one year to double the entries, you know. Haha..
So, what’s up today? I promised Inche to go to school at 9 today.. however.. I woke up only at 8.45 ^^;.. Didn’t really sleepy (I slept before 12 yesterday!), but since I had nothing to do that early, I just kept laying there, hugging the bolster.. huahaha.. I asked if she was urgent to go to school.. As she wasn’t, eventually we went together at 9.30 ^^ First stop… Library. I returned the Photoshop CS2 Bible.. It covered “what is the purpose of the tool”, instead of “what cool stuff can be done with the tool”.. Thus it’s a bit boring ^^; huahaa.. later, we went to the photocopy room.. can’t even really go down the stairs freely. Meet the CEC’s president at the stairs there.. He greeted me, and told me that it had already like a big war down there.. Sigh. Still, fearlessly, I went down. After squeezing for 5 minutes, I managed to check the updated lecture notes. Ohoo.. still missing the soft eng II lec notes. I got information that there will be a sale outside library at 10.. thus I eventually walked out from the war place.. and moved to the recruitment fair. ^^
Firstly, we went to visit Handy and Henry. Of course, not forgetting to take their photos with the booth :P.. Then, we went to Buddhist society. Ricky and Teddy were there, so did Tomy and Christian. ^^ We renew our membership.. then went to Red Cross to become a member, and get a free first aid kit box. Uhuui.. It’s really a nice box. Thanks for the information, Jessica :D
Finished traveling, I went to the lecture notes booth. It has been a loooong queue.. Really from one end to another end. I managed to cut the queue in the middle (uups… :$) but still needed to wait 1 hour to reach my turn. ><.. Thanks Yongky for helping me printing out the software eng lec notes! ^^ Later.. I had lunch with Ilfina and Jessica, then joined the Library Hunt (which is actually for freshman..) and got a Brands Chicken Essence ^^.. Not bad :D Happy with it, then I went to my first lecture at LT2A: Programming Language.
It was such a crowd as I entered. So the CE students just finished the HRM. Not long after, I saw Yuku and Arianto came to the lecture also. Hah? Are they taking the same subject? They can ruin the average course mark!! Huahaha.. just joking. Infront of us, there is a 4th year student from Indonesia.. first we wondered why we know her only by now.. Then she said that she was just moving to NTU… All the time she had been staying at Clementi.. Oooo.. Nice to know you, Sylvi! ^^ As we finished the 301 lecture, peko told us that there is no AI today.. until the day after national day! Huraaayy ^^v.. Happily, I went back hall :D
Back, I washed my clothes, unpack and kept all the goodies, hanged clothes, bathed, reviewed, blogged, then went for dinner with blazers ^^ Ilfina said that she got roommate already.. Vietnamese. Thus, she considered to change room.. However, the Hall 13 office said that all the rooms are full already.. So she said that she might tried hall 10 tomorrow. Heem.. all the best, sister! Finished with dinner, went for welcome carnival meeting at com hall 12. It supposed to start at 7.30.. but began at 8.30 instead.. ><.. poor Linda, needed to take bus back to her hall. We got 2 identical maincomm polo tees, with our name on them, one for each day.. dooeng.. hahaha.. For stage, we separated our jobs between 3 stage officers.. I need to confirm performance with one more person. Not bad =). Will contact her by tomorrow. I just finished distributing Welcome Carnival Booklet to block 66.. Dooh.. my hand can hardly type now. Cramp ^^;.. When I distributed the booklet to Agung, he said that he got roommate already, too! A Singaporean. Good for you. ^^ Finished with the booklet, Julian asked if I want to join Bash today… It’s kind like clubbing.. sponsored by NTU @ Nanyang Auditorium now. Henny also asked if we want to come to campus concert today.. but I didn’t even know the artist.. ^^;.. huahaha.. Think that I better prepare my tomorrow schedule and have a good rest. Tomorrow will be the GTD Opening Rehearsal.. Thursday will be goodie bag packing.. along with the first day of GTD.. Oh.. there will be a lot of clashes between welcome carnival and GTD ><.. Just hope that everything will be fine =)
Go go go!

Thus, she considered to change room.. However, the Hall 13 office said that all the rooms are full already.. So she said that she might tried hall 10 tomorrow. Heem.. all the best, sister! Finished with dinner, went for welcome carnival meeting at com hall 12. It supposed to start at 7.30.. but began at 8.30 instead.. ><.. poor Linda, needed to take bus back to her hall. We got 2 identical maincomm polo tees, with our name on them, one for each day.. dooeng.. hahaha.. For stage, we separated our jobs between 3 stage officers.. I need to confirm performance with one more person. Not bad =). Will contact her by tomorrow. I just finished distributing Welcome Carnival Booklet to block 66.. Dooh.. my hand can hardly type now. Cramp ^^;.. When I distributed the booklet to Agung, he said that he got roommate already, too! A Singaporean. Good for you. ^^ Finished with the booklet, Julian asked if I want to join Bash today… It’s kind like clubbing.. sponsored by NTU @ Nanyang Auditorium now. Henny also asked if we want to come to campus concert today.. but I didn’t even know the artist.. ^^;.. huahaha.. Think that I better prepare my tomorrow schedule and have a good rest. Tomorrow will be the GTD Opening Rehearsal.. Thursday will be goodie bag packing.. along with the first day of GTD.. Oh.. there will be a lot of clashes between welcome carnival and GTD ><.. Just hope that everything will be fine =)
Go go go!

The 199 posts!
So… Eventually all blazers gathered. Tonight, we had such a big dinner gathering. Even 6 tables merged didn’t enough for us ^^; haha.. Boly’s mum was also there with us. Tomorrow is Recruitment Fair... But I haven’t received a single flyer or information regarding the fair or Welcome Carnival. It’s so strange. Or am I the one out-to-date? I just know that Handy and Henry are going to have they own booth for Break Dance. And even more surprised to know that Handy is the President of Break Dance, while Henry is the Vice President. That’s all begin from Erwin as the founder of the Break Dance Club. Hah!?!? Seems like I’m really outdated =___=
Btw, we have planned to be there supporting the break dance club tomorrow. The prez said that it’s quite ‘dull’ right now.. in the sense that they don’t have gals ^^;.. huahaha.. so funny.. we propose some types of advertisement.. may be by distributing free kitkat, shout out: “Ada break, ada kitkaat!” But we wondered if students know what ‘ada’ means. Tomorrow Medy will also be having booth. Yeep, as a responsible President of Red Cross, he should be there. :P Planned to register there tomorrow ^^
Eventually, we chatted for 1 ½ hour before going back to hall. Adi has bought a new computer. S$1,100, with specification: 512MB, 160GB, 17” LCD. Sigh. Seems like my computer didn’t worth even half price right now.. but no worries, compie, I still love you :D.. hahaha.. Regarding Agung computer.. he hadn’t bought a hard disk yet.. want to know first if it’s still in guarantee. Poor him can’t watch or play dota right now.. haha.. I just finished the Tsubasa Chronicle episode 38. Thanks Tatsu for the download ^^
Ok… that’s just some update.. afraid that I’ll be busy for the whole week that I didn’t got chance to post anything anymore. Huahhaa.
Going to read Photoshop Bible now,

Welcome back, Boly :D
I finished 3 episodes instead of 6 yesterday... Henny suddenly restarted her computer.. that's when i realized that it was 2 already!! olala.. I needed to wake up at 7.30 tmrw!! Only then I went to sleep. Hahaha..
Morning, eventually woke up around 8.20, being called up by Inche.. (back to old habit already.. ^^;) bathed, then we went to hall 12 bus stop, gathered with the rest of blazers. When we’re going to get on bus 199, Nancy realized that she forgot to bring her wallet! Huahaha.. But not to worry, we’re here to be profitable-lender :P
We reached Boon Lay around 10.. then Inche and I went to Fair Price to buy orange juices for seniors.. while the rest bought breakfast for us at Bread Talk. Then.. together, we set off to Chua Cu Kang ^^ kept chatting on the MRT. Reached there, Jipau was there to be our guide. He asked whether we wanted to walk at cooler but longer way, or shorter but hotter way.. then we choose longer way.. walked from the mall.. But.. don’t know why, at the end, we returned to the MRT station.. huahaa.. then walk to the other way ^^;.. Nice to see the mall.. Why I felt like I have been there before? When we went to Escape? Heeem.. maybe most of malls in Singapore are just too identical.
Eventually, we reached our first stop: Jipau cs Place. Frenky was there. So did Mr Lee. Masli was still sleeping. The place is nice.. especially the rooms! Woow.. they were huge! I like it.. especially Lina’s room.. It’s so big :D We chatted for around half hour, before went to the second stop... We needed to take bus to go there (gosh, I forgot the bus number already ><) Reached there, directly went to inspected the room *check check* heeem.. the room aren’t as big as the first one.. however, love their living room! They stayed at 9th floor. No wonder that it is so windy and cool there. =) Jipau cs were in 7th’s. We played and messed there for a while, then left at 12.30++.. since Winson needed to go to fetch exchange student. Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Albert, Erwin, Susanti, and William ^^ We ate at Chua Cu Kang first before continuing our journey.. ate at the nearest foodcourt =D
Full, we were ready to continue our journey to IMM. Anton said that he felt abit unwell, thus Agung, Juli, and Adi accompanying him back to NTU. Tomy, Henry, Nancy, Inche and I went to IMM by free shuttle bus :P.. Inche managed to find a mattress. And lucky that it is 40% discount that time! ^^ Henry also bought one for break dance ^^; I myself bought emulsion.. + fruits.. then.. we walked to japanese shop, when all in $2.. After feeling dizzy with the amount of stuff there, all of us went back to Boonlay, taking another free shuttle bus. Hohohooo.. We reached NTU at 4++. Later, Helios and I went to Agung place to check his computer. It was hopeless.. Helios has tried to put Agung’s Harddisk to his computer.. and it’s not working. Tired, we went for dinner. Chatted until around 8.. then went back.. transfer the photos.. and began to watch 1 litre of tears. Goosh.. it was really a touching series. I cried again at the very end of episode 11. hahaha.. Thanks for the film suggestion, Medy. And also thanks to Henny as the provider of the film. :) I like the line of words she said at the end of every episode. It was so meaningful. One of them is.. “What’s wrong with falling down? As long as I can stand up again, I’ll be fine.” :’) I wonder if they had found the cure for the disease now. It was 1988 when she died. Woow. I was born already that time. (what is the relation anyway.. hahah..)
Oh ya.. 3 months ago, I applied for scholarship of attending a conference at US (with intention to visit US more than intention to be in the conference). I just received the rejection email ><.. huk3x.. a bit sad. But at least I tried :)
Btw.. google mail is amazing. Yesterday, I forgot my google account.. whether it is erlin_diana, erlind or anything.. then.. as I kept typing my username wrongly, it popped out a suggestion. “Is your account name erlin.diana?” woow.. That’s cool! Yep, the functionality is cool. However, I still prefer to use yahoo. It’s faster and user friendly for me ^^
Finished with the movie and email.. it was not 12 yet. But since inche had already slept and me typing blogger might annoy her.. I left the blog for the next day :P
Sunday.. I woke up at 9.30. Called home, cleaned the room, then went for lunch with Inche and Tomy. Adi, Agung and Stephen went to bugis. Adi wanted to buy a CPU.. while Agung planned to buy a new hard disk. Henry, Winson and Nancy went to airport to pick up Boly. Welcome back Boly! Eventually, you’re coming back! ^^ Hahaha..
Enjoying the last day of holiday,

One week to GTD
The CoE orientation wasn’t as scaring as expected. I thought we’re going to play sport with them.. or being bullied.. Thus I didn’t even wash my hair before I went there.. But.. turned out we were only helping out distributing magazine for the freshmen. *blush* They were having their orientation speech. After the speech, we helped them clarifying anything about the course, accompanied with food and drink ^^.. Nice.. It finished even before 3. There were a lot of food left.. thus I eventually packed them for blazers. Hoho.. Back to hall, got phone from Vera, saying that she also packed food from MSE orientation for us. Woow ^^;.. eventually, all of blazers ate before going to pick up our group from Batam :P The food was a lot. Yep. We couldn’t finish them although we had Handy. So can you imagine how much was it? Huahhaa.. jk2.. anyway, so they set off around 5.20. I was so sleepy.. back to room.. visited bebekrewel.com for awhile.. then slept.. until 8++! Woow O.o.. it was a dozy sleep. Haha.. Not long after that, blazers were back.. let me try to count one more time.. haha.. Agung, Adi, Anton, Tomy, Rina, Jessica, Ilfina, Harris, Eva.. For all of them.. Welcome back!!! ^^
I slept around 2am that day.. finishing the first season of My Name is Earl. Heem.. What is my comment for the first season? Not a bad series.. I do want to watch the next episode. However, seems like it’s too focus.. only to the list, list and liiistt.. Earl only kept trying to cross a bad thing from his list. No much new thing in any episodes.. which cause the boringness. Just hope that he will do better in second season :P
Next morning, to the surprise, Inche and I woke up at 10.30! Huahaha.. I never saw Inche slept until that late over this 2 years.. a record!! :P.. I myself.. needed to rush for shower and lunch.. since I had GTD meeting at 11 ^^;.. Today, we finished the decoration for 4 days of GTD… yuhuuui.. felt so happy and satisfied with the decoration. I kept the aquatic decoration with me. Curious what it is about? Coming soon on Saturday GTD :P hahaha.. We finished the thing at 3.30.. just on time to join the freshmen welcome ceremony at Nanyang Audi :D.. I went there with Stephanie.. Tried to look innocent in front of the guards.. and then grab 3 goodie bags as the light was dimmed. Huahaaaa.. crazy us. However, It was quite fuuuun.. Met Handarmin and Setiawan there after the ceremony… after 4 helping, we went back to hall together, ready to help out with Agung’s moving. Finished it, chatted for awhile at hall 14 TV lounge.. Then I went back to room and relax..
Just now.. Agung called me.. Told me that his computer hanged.. Asked if I can do anything.. I went there.. it’s stated\system32\hal.dll was missing. Then.. I tried to copy the file. Fail. Then I tried to reinstall windows. Fail to format. It was stated that the harddisk may be broken. Didn’t want to believe.. I tried to delete the partition.. and format again. Hang. Then I thought that that’s my windows disk which is wrong.. thus asked for another disk from Arianto. Tried again. Still Failed. Tried to delete another partition. Deleted. But still can’t be formatted! I wonder why? Eventually, Arianto suggested to reset the BIOS setting. I know that it has cause problem before.. but still.. the devil in me asked me to try it.. thus.. I reset the BIOS setting. The harddisk isn’t detected. Began to throb. Set the BIOS again. Harddisk detected, but not with CD Drive. Scared even more. Eventually tried to set a lot of stuff.. until the CD Drive detected.. and at that point.. I gave up. Huahaha.. I said sorry to Agung.. the only possibility for me is that the hard disk was broken somewhere.. since we could access the disk when we tried to boot using linux. Hopefully that Helios can help to fix it tomorrow.
For now.. feel sleepy.. Need to cancel my plan to finish 1 litre of tears today. Hahaha.. Will most probably go to visit seniors tomorrow :D
2 days to the end of holiday,

Welcome back, Blazeeerz!!!
New day, new life. I woke up at 8 today. Seems like the Cantonese soup got some strong herbs. It made my heart throb so fast >< and eventually make me wake up early. Haha.. I bathed, prepared things, then set off to hall 4. Going to take Oi Ling to Office of Finance today =).. I reached there at 9.05. Too early that she wasn’t there yet. Waited for 5 minutes, then she came, along with Sally’s husband and a don’t-know-who guy. The guy is a student at NTU too, second year. But I didn’t ask further. He drove us to office of finance (great!) then he set off. We queued for awhile.. finished the payment.. then took her matriculation card from ISC.. I grabbed a snack there :P.. huahaha.. Then brought her for orientation :)
Waiting for helping CoE orientation program (SCE orientation program) at 1, I blogged at CITS… Meet Linda and Fidelia there. Linda had moved to hall 11.. The hall office didn’t allow her to be Fidelia roomate’s at hall 15. Hoever, she got single room =).. haha.. Fidelia is going to the dentist soon.. and just drop by for awhile. I myself begin to froze here.. thus going to have lunch soon. Hahaha..
Can’t wait to welcoming back the blazers today… there are 7 of them: Ilfina, Agung, Adi, Anton, Tomy, Rina.. and Jess, maybe? Wait for the name confirmation tmrw! :P haha.. Most probably, Boly will be back on 4th of August :D
So, that's the most recent news.

What an Experience ^^;
Erlin is back again! =D.. Yesterday was wonderful.. I woke up at around 9.. bath as usual, then did the design for IndoNITE. Come2.. everyone.. join us on 13 August @ Com Hall 3, 18:45.. Dont forget to bring along $4 with you.. huahaha.. *publicity mode on*
Finished with the design, it was the time for lunch! Having lunch with Inche, then I went for meeting at TV Lounge hall 16. Weew.. the TV lounge is really nice. I know that hall14’s is nice enough, but this one is even… ckckck.. Lucky that I didn’t watch TV that often. If no, I will feel very jealous.. the TV, the aircon, the sofas… ^^; So.. finished admiring the lounge, the meeting began. Talked about the arrangement for GTD… then began to make the ‘clock’ and ‘doraemon’s time machine’… The planning for time machine is very funny.. they planned to put 2 bolsters to represent the machine. Hihihi.. Unfortunately, I needed to go at 1 pm.. heem. I wonder how will it looked like.. Let’s see the result later! Coming soon on GTD 8! Huahaha.. btw, the GTD 8 slogan is: Trascorso, Presente, Il Futuro… The past, the present, the future :D.. That’s why there is a time machine.. ^^
So.. I went to bus stop at 1. The airplane supposed to land at 2.40. I didn’t checked the website anymore.. Let’s the fate decided if I need to wait there.. huahaa.. This time, the traveling to Changi is nicer. I (eventually) managed to get the idea of bringing mp3 player with me. Huahaha.. Thus I slept while listening to songs at MRT.. Nice... This time, with no concern that I’ll be late.. huahaha.. I reached Tanah Merah.. woke up slowly.. waited for MRT to Changi for about 10 minutes.. and then stood stupidly at Changi’s MRT station 5 minutes.. didn’t know how to turn off my MP3 player =____=.. I think I should use it more often later.
Walked to Skytrain (no more running..) just in time as the train is ready to set off. Looked at the Arrival TV.. saw that the plane is confirmed to land. No delay.. huraaay.. as I looked at the time.. it’s 14.40 already.. hua? I didn’t realize it. Then.. I went to toilet… had a drink.. and waited at Belt 16. The plane was landed as I reached there. However, it took another half hour before the passengers came out. And another half hour before the one I’m waiting for, Oi Ling, came out. Her mother’s friend, called Mdm Sally, was intended to pick her up too. Thus, eventually, 3 of us took taxi to NTU… I sat beside the taxi drive.. both of them spoke in Cantonese behind.. sigh. I can’t follow the conversation at all. Thus I just replied when they spoke in English.. haha..
We reached hall 4. (Hurraaay, I wasn’t lost anymore) With help from sally, we carried the big bag to level 5. It was already 4.20 that time. I brought her to the Hall Office directly.. Then rush to Finance office.. But.. unlucky me.. the office closed at 4.45.. It was already 5.00 that time.. huk3x… 15 minutes late… then I just brought her to ISC for awhile, before having some snacks at Mc Donald. Madam Sally was very kind.. She brought me nuggets, drink, and fries ^^; I said I really don’t want it.. thus eventually we just shared.. Oi Ling ate one package, because she even hadn’t had her lunch yet… Later.. Mdm Sally asked me if I had class tomorrow. I treated it as common question, and answered that the class will only start next week. Then.. here she came.. She urged me to have a dinner with her family!!! She even had already told her husband that I will be there before I said a Yes. Olala.. At first time, I thought that it’s just a polite invitation.. but I was very wrong. She kept asking me..more than 10 times, I can say.. Eventually.. until we reach bus stop… and the 199 bus come.. And both of them went in.. I just stood outside and said bye2 to them.. She didn’t realize that I didn’t go in at the first time. But when she did, she stopped the driver! And asked me to go in.... seemed like I really had no choice. Eventually tapped my card and sat with them..
We reached boon lay around 6.30. Then take 147 to Bukit Batok. It’s a long journey.. about half hour.. She talked a lot with me about the places at Singapore.. and also about her family. Seems like she really likes to make friend. We reached there around 7.15.. then waited for her and her husband to cook ^^;.. I didn’t know what I can help, really. So I just watched television, along with Oi Ling and their son. Then she gave me drink.. Then she gave me biscuit to take back to hall.. also gave me a bunch of pens, highlighter, and post it! Haa :S.. What happen today? Am I a student assistant or her daughter?
We eventually ate at 9 o’clock. Simple meal as promised? Not all all… Hainamise Chicken, Cantonese Soup, fish, tofu, vegetable.. fuuiih.. I’m really full. And after that, not forgetting the desert: orange, kiwi, longan.. ^^; I’m shy. Really. I eventually went to bus stop at 10. Run to 157… and eventually reached my hall again at 11. Such a great experience for me.. Just if I bring my camera… hahaha.. She also invited me to drop by on any weekends.. Thanks a lot Mdm Sally.. You’re really nice =) And your food is delicious. Hahaha.. Btw, all of them speak Cantonese at home. Her husband is from Hongkong, while she is Singaporean. Aha.. no wonder then.. The only word I learnt that day is ‘sek’ = eat ^^;
Back to hall, I just realized that I forgot to switch off my computer.. even forgot to set my msn away.. olala.. so sorry everyone.. ><.. Later.. After bath, I finalized the poster design. Big thanks to Arianto B’day gift.. Really help much in design cheating... huahahaaa… Oh.. btw, Kerfarng asked if I interested to do freelance job.. 1 e-cover design and 1 banner.. for $90.. wow! Would love to.. however, as I called the person, she said that she needed boss decision. She already gave my phone number to him, though. Huk.. guess that I wont be given the job :’(
Felt sleepy, tired, and happy, I slept at around 1 that night ^^
Experiencing the student assistant job,
Erlin.D
Finished with the design, it was the time for lunch! Having lunch with Inche, then I went for meeting at TV Lounge hall 16. Weew.. the TV lounge is really nice. I know that hall14’s is nice enough, but this one is even… ckckck.. Lucky that I didn’t watch TV that often.

I can’t follow the conversation at all. Thus I just replied when they spoke in English.. haha..
We reached hall 4. (Hurraaay, I wasn’t lost anymore) With help from sally, we carried the big bag to level 5. It was already 4.20 that time. I brought her to the Hall Office directly.. Then rush to Finance office.. But.. unlucky me.. the office closed at 4.45.. It was already 5.00 that time.. huk3x… 15 minutes late… then I just brought her to ISC for awhile, before having some snacks at Mc Donald. Madam Sally was very kind.. She brought me nuggets, drink, and fries ^^; I said I really don’t want it.. thus eventually we just shared.. Oi Ling ate one package, because she even hadn’t had her lunch yet… Later.. Mdm Sally asked me if I had class tomorrow. I treated it as common question, and answered that the class will only start next week. Then.. here she came.. She urged me to have a dinner with her family!!! She even had already told her husband that I will be there before I said a Yes. Olala.. At first time, I thought that it’s just a polite invitation.. but I was very wrong. She kept asking me..more than 10 times, I can say.. Eventually.. until we reach bus stop… and the 199 bus come.. And both of them went in.. I just stood outside and said bye2 to them.. She didn’t realize that I didn’t go in at the first time. But when she did, she stopped the driver! And asked me to go in.... seemed like I really had no choice. Eventually tapped my card and sat with them..
We reached boon lay around 6.30. Then take 147 to Bukit Batok. It’s a long journey.. about half hour.. She talked a lot with me about the places at Singapore.. and also about her family. Seems like she really likes to make friend. We reached there around 7.15.. then waited for her and her husband to cook ^^;.. I didn’t know what I can help, really. So I just watched television, along with Oi Ling and their son. Then she gave me drink.. Then she gave me biscuit to take back to hall.. also gave me a bunch of pens, highlighter, and post it! Haa :S.. What happen today? Am I a student assistant or her daughter?
We eventually ate at 9 o’clock. Simple meal as promised? Not all all… Hainamise Chicken, Cantonese Soup, fish, tofu, vegetable.. fuuiih.. I’m really full. And after that, not forgetting the desert: orange, kiwi, longan.. ^^; I’m shy. Really. I eventually went to bus stop at 10. Run to 157… and eventually reached my hall again at 11. Such a great experience for me.. Just if I bring my camera… hahaha.. She also invited me to drop by on any weekends.. Thanks a lot Mdm Sally.. You’re really nice =) And your food is delicious. Hahaha.. Btw, all of them speak Cantonese at home. Her husband is from Hongkong, while she is Singaporean. Aha.. no wonder then.. The only word I learnt that day is ‘sek’ = eat ^^;
Back to hall, I just realized that I forgot to switch off my computer.. even forgot to set my msn away.. olala.. so sorry everyone.. ><.. Later.. After bath, I finalized the poster design. Big thanks to Arianto B’day gift.. Really help much in design cheating... huahahaaa… Oh.. btw, Kerfarng asked if I interested to do freelance job.. 1 e-cover design and 1 banner.. for $90.. wow! Would love to.. however, as I called the person, she said that she needed boss decision. She already gave my phone number to him, though. Huk.. guess that I wont be given the job :’(
Felt sleepy, tired, and happy, I slept at around 1 that night ^^
Experiencing the student assistant job,

Let the blog be short today.. Yesterday, we helped Julianto moving out at 11pm.. after the first trip, I couldn’t resist my sleepiness anymore.. and still I need to wake up early in the morning, I set off first… so sorry all ><..
Later in the morning.. I woke up at.. almost 8. I put my clothes at washing machine, bathed, went to hall office to collect my keys, hang my clothes (and the sky turned dark again..), and went to OCBC together with Inche. After settling the things, I joined Indo Seminar for 1 hour ++… it was well organized.. the LT 2 almost full with freshie and senior.. the first speaker is Mbah Chan, our president of PINTU.. at first time.. I wonder why all the speakers and MCs used such a formal English. Until the second speaker came out.. then I understood. They invited professor as the GOH. He is a Dean at EEE. They said that he is Indonesian, too. Ohoo.. no wonder.. He talked a lot of good things about Indonesia, and boasted our spirit to study here. Such an enthusiastic speech, I should admit. After the speech, Mbah Chan gave him some token of appreciation.. then show him the way out to have some refreshement.. only after that….
LT 2 filled with sudden noise. hahaha... And the MCs started to speak in Indonesian. Nice control just now.. ^^;.. anyway.. so.. I was there for another one hour before signing out to go to airport. Right before I went to bus stop, I checked the schedule again at library. Who knows if it got delayed again. But.. I was shocked. The Status is confirmed! From the actual 1.15pm, it became 12.55. Ha? Can be earlier one!? I never expected that… It was 11.30 already.. and I knew I will be late. My airport ritual came out again. Run to the bus stop, run to the mrt, chasing the sky train to terminal one.. haizz.. The passengers were collecting the luggage when I reached there. It really reached at 12.55! sigh.. Then I just wait.. wait.. wait.. until around half hour and I began to worry if the person I supposed to fetch already gone.. then she came out =D.. Hula.. never thought that I will be so happy to see you, Tse Lin! Hahaha.. Welcome to Singapore! Her English is understandable. And although sometimes I spoke mandarin to her, she replied using English. So nice =D.. I chatted a lot with her. As I reached ISC, Miss Jasmine gave me another person to be picked at airport tomorrow. Heem.. glad to know I got another job.. I just wish that I can really be ontime tomorrow… however, again, suddenly Yongky told me that we will have meeting tomorrow.. and also need to prepare for the GTD stuff. Ouch..
Back to room.. I felt so so sleepy. Rest awhile, had dinner with Medanise.. Ya, unexpected, one whole table were people from Medan! From 1st year to 4th year students were there. Hahaha.. After the dinner.. read email from Phing.. felt so sleepy.. thus I had a nap before I replied. Haha.. Finished replying.. chatted for awhile.. now it’s time for some movies before sleep :P
It's raining...
