It is Wednesday Morning, 11:20AM.
I woke up at about 9.30, just to continue my sleep until about 10ish.
I turned on my Mac and leave it booting up while brushing my teeth.
I kept on browsing, playing facebook games, and reading Mangas while having some snacks.
Now I realise that I need to cook lunch yet the sink is full.
I doubt I can find clean utensils for cooking, that is an alarm for me to wash the dishes.
Now I am thinking of having a quick breakfast.
Yes, I got some banana muffins from a friend last night, I might as well have those before lunch.
A glass of warm milk tea would be nice as well. (yes, I don't have cups to drink either tea or coffee)
It's been such peaceful days this week.
There's a bit quarrel, but it was somehow resolved quickly.
And yeah, when I saw the calendar next to my cat doll I became more and more aware that this Saturday is Christmas day.
In 3 days....
It is Christmas Day.
I'll be paying bills.
I've worked Monday-Thursday.
I'll be hanging around with friends on Friday.
Not much, eh? But yeah, I like it peaceful like this, my life has been quite extraordinary this year.
If I wrote this year's story, it might turn into a novel...
Full of happiness, tears, crys, conflicts, and many streams of emotions.
But I believe that it will turn that way for every single person in the world.
I've been thinking a lot these days, like, what I really want in this life?
I read books and kept on getting jealous to characters inside it for their interesting life story and such a "happily ever after" ending.
Maybe I'm still inside a chapter of my life and I believe my last chapter before happily ever after is still long way to go.
Instead, I think such thing does not exist.
But just to believe that smiles and tears is what construct your life.

Christmas is Coming to Town
Hmm, how long has it been since my last post?
I remember posting once before my trip.
Lots of things happened since then, I've been overwhelmed by several different emotions that I did not know whether I'll survive or not from that.
Smiles and tears, fear, happiness, guilt, emptiness, anger, sadness, curiosity, jealousy, and maybe even more.
That's quite a lot for 2 weeks in my opinion.
I know I always fear the future, what will I do if I graduate, and maybe I've been given more time to mature myself.
I've been unstable these few days, my only smiles are when I was with my friends, hanging out. I just couldn't take being alone and started being gloomy all of a sudden.
My housemate? One has went back home to Indonesia.... And the other one? Please don't count him, that's what I always tell my friends and it's true!
Oh well, let's try to see the good part.
This Saturday it's going to be Christmas!
Not that I'm being excited over it, but I just try to be merry as well. :)
There will be heaps of stuff happening around Christmas and New Year, work-dine-hang out, I hope this festive period will help me cheer up!
I'm now writing while having my brunch. Well even though it's 12 noon I still want to call it breakfast since I'll be having my fried red rice for lunch.
I had 2 curry puffs, 2 butter-choco toast, and a glass of milk darjeeling tea.
It's a good thing that I can enjoy a morning and the weather's cool as well!
I hope it will be clearing up soon as I will be hanging around with a group of friend later today. :)

Welcoming December 2010
In December 2010.....
Marking the change of season into Summer.
Result of Semester 2, 2010 will be published.
I'll be going for Tasmania trip with my college friends.
There will be graduations of my friends.
There will be Christmas.
There will be new year.
And last but not least, my birthday. :)
Oh yeah, today I received my first pay from Woolworths, yay!
But the amount I received are totally the same with the amount I spent today.....
Oh well, I loved those clothes anyway, that should be the last time I shop this year, hopefully....
I'm really nervous with the result coming this Friday, I hoped for the best.
If I were to fail anything, my parents might withdraw me from Australia and I don't want that! I just started to enjoy my life here! If my result is satisfactory, I think I'll buy ticket for Usher's concert for this coming March 2011.
However, I'm really looking forward for my Tasmania Trip! Dunno why, I enjoyed having trip with these friends of mine. If I don't have part time job, I might have join them for the other trips (Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide).
After my Tasmania trip, I think I'll work a lot, to save up money.
There are so many things I need to buy before the end of December.....
Iphone 4, return flight ticket to my hometown........ they already amounted to almost $2,000!!!!! Geez.... I'm such a big spender....
Anyway, I believe December would never betray me, I wish an early Christmas and birthday present for my result.

Bracing for December 2010
How long has it passed since exam period finished?
It has just officially finished on Thursday, yet I went through all of my exams a week in advance.
Time sure flies very quickly, it's almost 2 weeks since I did my last paper and it's going to turn to December soon.
December means that it will soon change year. It's always the month that I wait for in the year.
Maybe it's because it's my birth month. But that's not all, December is like a true holiday month for me, there are Christmas and New Year. What I love about my birthday is that it's always holiday whenever you go, so I am sure I am not supposed to work or study during this holiday. :)
Maybe this year will be an exception. As you all know that I am doing part-time jobs this summer. I am thinking of taking shifts on holidays like Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year. I am not 100% sure with this myself, but maybe that's what I'll do.
The reason is, I think all of my friends who stayed in Melbourne during summer are going to be busy or they have a plan on their own. Some relatives coming and so on. So I guess I'd better earn extra money rather than spending my time home alone.
It's not that bad, during these public holidays, I'll be getting like double pay in Woolworths, so at least I'll get minimum of $30 per hour! I can't imagine if I'll be working full days on these public holidays, it might worth weeks of work! Ahaha....
Oh yeah, 5th-9th December, I'll be going to Tasmania. I can't wait for that, in 2 weeks I'll be in Tasmania now. This trip is all arranged by my friends from Malaysia, so I'll just sit and follow their plan.
It's very bright outside, no clouds. Warm sunshine and cool breeze, I really want to enjoy outside. I guess I'll finish my laundry and had my breakfast before that.

Double Lariat
A radius of 85 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll sing around
So please, stay away from me
I enjoyed singing around so much
That I didn't want to quit
The singing continued, and I forgot to stop
My friends around me can sing better than me
"It's no use", I would mutter
While pretending to have given up
A radius of 250 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll move around and sing
So please, stay away from me
I was so content with singing aimlessly
That I didn't want to quit
If I continued to sing around aimlessly, I believed I would be rewarded
My friends around me can sing a greater distance than me
Because I lowered my gaze so much
My neck hurts and I pretended to sulk
A radius of 5200 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll fly around and sing
So please, stay away from me
So what do you think?
If my younger self saw me now, would he praise me?
However I'm feeling dizzy and my body is tilting
With my head tilted 23.4 degrees
I gazed down the row of houses on the street
And before I know it, they were dyed a color I had never seen before
A radius of 6300 km is the distance my voice can reach
Right now I feel that I can do it
So please, stay away from me
A radius of 85 cm is the distance my voice can reach
Someday when I got worn out from singing
At that time, please be by my side
From now on I'll sing around
So please, stay away from me

Induction Day
It's here!
Yep, I did my induction day this morning!
My induction should have started at 8am, but I misread the time as 8.30 instead and came late which I only realised when I reached the room!
I was quite fun: videos, workshop, filling documents.
I enjoyed it despite being sleepy the whole time.
I met new people here, two of them will be my colleagues and one of them is Indonesian!
Three of us will be working in different departments though, but it is fine as one of Woolworths' motto is "We are a Team" so we will keep on looking for each other even if we are in different departments. :)
And one thing I want to share is.... I'm a member of a Union now!
It's like, employees union where they look after us and fight for our rights. :)
The biggest reason I joined this union is that I can get discounts at major retailers in Australia, including $9.30 movie voucher (for adults to be used anytime, and can be used for 3D screening as well!!!!!) woo-hoo! Talk about benefits, huh? ;)
I'll be starting as Bakery Assistant, and I'm quite sure that it will involve baking!
You should all know that my parent's business is a bakery ingredients retail back in my hometown! Hahahaaa!!!!!
I'll start next week, on Friday, 11.30-2.30. Am very excited, yes.
Everything's ready, I got my name tag and Woolies shirt. :)
I need to get a pair of black shoes though, I've been using my good and only pair.
Hope I've got time to shop a bit tomorrow! :)
Just one exam left on Thursday and.....

Home???
Home is supposed to be friendly, warm, safe.... Basically a place to live.
I can call my house in Jogja a home definitely....
It's a place where my family live, they give me warmth and security.
I enjoy living there.
How about the apartment I'm living in Melbourne at the moment?
I don't know, there always problems surfacing whenever things started to calm down, it's just like the sea where you always have tides.
When my housemates are quarreling, things are being awkward here.
When they are friendly to each other, it seems like I don't exist anymore...
Don't you feel offended that way? They watched movie together, knowing that I am around, didn't say anything and suddenly watch movie together....
They plan to go out enjoying day-off, knowing me having day-off as well, but didn't ask me.
Is it wrong for three of us to share an apartment in the first place?
Yes, something surely is wrong, don't ask me what how when why where.....
I tried to be positive but I just can't at the moment....
With so many things going on, work, study, volunteer.... My body can't cope anymore, especially with things going around the house....
Is it wrong for me to wish that a home is the only support when I feel that everything's gone wrong? Can't I wish that we, three of us, spend time together on our free time to support each other and chill out as housemates?
Anyway, I just need a place to share my feelings.
If I mention this to my family, they'll be attacking with me moving to city is wrong and blah blah blah.... which prove that me moving out from Clayton is a mistake.
Well, I did admit that it is a mistake at one point, but I just don't want to admit it to my parents yet....
I know it's a mistake and I know it's up to me to fix it. I'll try to see the situation first about this apartment. And in regards to work and study, I'll prove myself that I can handle it, be it storm be it thunder, none is to stop me.
Time to go back to study!

Second Interview
I got an e-mail yesterday afternoon, stating that I got through the Group Assessment and is up for second interview, YAYYYY!!!!!!!
My interview will be on the store that I applied the position for, which is South Melbourne. It is scheduled on Tuesday 11.30am. If possible, I will change it to later time in the evening any day as I have tutorial that time. However, as I really want this job, I need to give up something as well in case my availability doesn't match the store manager's availability. I am willing to skip my tute!
The interview itself will take about 15 minutes, I will surely do my best in order to get this job!

Proofreading
Hi again,
Last night I saw this email from an editor who was in charge of the Indonesian textbook which I'm working for. She sent me an email regarding a proofreading job which need to be urgently done by Monday. She chose me as the proofreader as I live close by (duh, the office it's just across my apartment, haha....). She favored my friend who is an Indonesian teacher to do it, but she's afraid that she won't make it on time as my friend is living far away. But she would ask my friend in case I declined the offer.
So what did I do? I accepted it of course! I know it's an easy job with good pay! Haha.... I will proofread the workbook, not the textbook. ;)
I thought it won't be much, but in reality it's just as thick as the textbook, the material that I received have at least 100 sheets! At first I thought that I would be in trouble as I still have assignment to do over the weekend, but I convinced myself that this is a challenge that I need to accomplish!
I'm not sure like how much I'll get from this work, but I will try to finish it by tomorrow! Ok, back to work! I still have study to catch up as well!

Stupid Idiot!
Well, actually I want to talk about my group assessment which I went through today, but maybe that needs to be changed.
I'm furious at the moment!
Stupid idiot housemate!
I was mad at him before as you know. I wasn't about to forgive him yet....
Until suddenly he called me one afternoon and cried about his broken laptop.
Then at home he told me about his misfortunes which happened recently.
Maybe I'm too soft, that's why I thought, "OK, OK, up to you!" and tried not to ignore him anymore, but that does not mean I forgive him or acted normal like the way before.
And today he just made me MAD, ANGRY, RAGED, and FURIOUS for the same mistake he did before!!!!!! Such a BASTARD! It's either I didn't state it clearly or that he's DUMB!
Only an idiot who don't know when to stop and I'm sure he is one right now.
Oh I don't care, if he comes again and cried I'll just ignore him, I won't give a damn anymore, I'm already too busy with everything to deal with him at the moment. Who cares? He's not going to be here for summer anyway, after exam he'll go, so I'll just bear for a month right? Then when he's back the lease contract will end, so? CIAO! If I get this job I will be able to afford a one-bedroom apartment in which I'll be sharing with my brother in June!
That's it for today, I'm tired and I need to go to sleep as I need to wake up early tomorrow. Will talk about the group assessment in the morning maybe, bye.

Job Offers
At first I thought that today was such a bad day.
I overslept, I slacked, and I was late for a resume check which is very important as I am applying for an Industry Based Learning in Monash.
The application itself is due this Friday and I am left with the 500-word statement to be checked before I send my application.
Moreover, it was such a hot day in the morning, I was sweating a lot and I even thought that summer came too early to Melbourne.
In campus, I strayed myself around.
I printed study materials, I had lunch, I drank coffee, I browsed internet, etc etc.....
Then my group mate called to meet for assignment. The group meeting was supposed to be at 12pm and it was 2pm when she called me.... =___=
When I was to go to the meeting place which is located in different building, there was a storm, it rained heavily and I was like, "S**t!"
And here I went with my determination for assignment, rushing through rain. I was wet from head to toe. And guess what time my friends came? 2.35pm, great.....
While we were having a meeting,I got a call from Red Energy, an energy company located in Richmond. She offered me a telesales assistant position as I was not selected in the other 2 jobs that I applied. It will be an interesting job as I will be dealing with phone calls. It's an Australian company so I'm sure I'll be able to develop myself in Australian culture. What's better, the environment won't be that bad as she said that there are a lot of students doing part-time in that company.
The pay itself is quite good I think, the job required me to spare 20-hour per week and I'll get $40,000 p.a pro rata.
What's the definition of pro-rata? I searched through Google and the easiest definition was found through Yahoo! Answer:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070806141022AAR4GhC
So that means that I'll be getting about $20,000p.a if I work part-time.
If I got accepted here (I will hear the decision this Friday), I cannot take other part-time jobs as I will breach my visa if I do so.
But I can do it, as it's going to be summer holiday, so I can work MORE!
Then there is this call from New Zealand Ice Cream, she offered me a job as well and wished to have an interview asap. I arranged it for this Friday morning. I'm sure this week is going to be a very hectic week for me indeed.....
She required me to do at least 4 6-hour shifts per week, so a minimum of 24 hours per week during summer!
And I'm going to do a Group Assessment with Woolworths as well tomorrow, well, group assessment is just like a group interview where they also test your abilities....
So, which one should I choose?

I printed study materials, I had lunch, I drank coffee, I browsed internet, etc etc.....
Then my group mate called to meet for assignment. The group meeting was supposed to be at 12pm and it was 2pm when she called me.... =___=
When I was to go to the meeting place which is located in different building, there was a storm, it rained heavily and I was like, "S**t!"
And here I went with my determination for assignment, rushing through rain. I was wet from head to toe. And guess what time my friends came? 2.35pm, great.....
While we were having a meeting,I got a call from Red Energy, an energy company located in Richmond. She offered me a telesales assistant position as I was not selected in the other 2 jobs that I applied. It will be an interesting job as I will be dealing with phone calls. It's an Australian company so I'm sure I'll be able to develop myself in Australian culture. What's better, the environment won't be that bad as she said that there are a lot of students doing part-time in that company.
The pay itself is quite good I think, the job required me to spare 20-hour per week and I'll get $40,000 p.a pro rata.
What's the definition of pro-rata? I searched through Google and the easiest definition was found through Yahoo! Answer:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070806141022AAR4GhC
So that means that I'll be getting about $20,000p.a if I work part-time.
If I got accepted here (I will hear the decision this Friday), I cannot take other part-time jobs as I will breach my visa if I do so.
But I can do it, as it's going to be summer holiday, so I can work MORE!
Then there is this call from New Zealand Ice Cream, she offered me a job as well and wished to have an interview asap. I arranged it for this Friday morning. I'm sure this week is going to be a very hectic week for me indeed.....
She required me to do at least 4 6-hour shifts per week, so a minimum of 24 hours per week during summer!
And I'm going to do a Group Assessment with Woolworths as well tomorrow, well, group assessment is just like a group interview where they also test your abilities....
So, which one should I choose?

Never Ending Cycle
Well, we live in this world with several cycles going on and on forever.
It's good if we can have long happy life and short sadness within, yet reality is cruel.
Ever since I entered Uni, my life cycle has been a terrible one, especially this year.
Short happiness, long pain which leave unforgettable scar.
Well, at certain point, I feel that it's a valuable experience which I won't get if I didn't come to Australia for sure. But some of this pain.... I just want to forget it, I want to leave it, I want to destroy this cycle.
What do you feel when you are a soft person living with 2 obstinate housemates?
It's terrible really, sometimes I'm regretting my decision moving out (with them), but there are some experiences that I won't get if I didn't do that.
It is a cycle just like war, kept on repeating itself even when it's solved before, leaving another scar which one could not forget.
I'm just tired at the moment, seeing this condition, I moved here since I wished for a peaceful life, everyone in the house are close, I just wished for a warm place that I can call "home" just like my real home in Indonesia.
And now I know that it's just a wishful thinking, you won't find it.
All I need to do is just bear for it until next year, then I'll move with my brother who's coming to Melbourne! (not confirmed though)
What if he cancel the arrangement and decided to study somewhere else? Duh, I'll just move to a one-bedroom apartment or a share apartment instead, at least I don't need to care for the other party. I learn from my current housemates how to be hard-headed, should I say thanks?
Well, at least I've changed, regardless of this childish act, I'm still learning and I hope I'll be mature soon, so I can look for my brother here and give him guidance.
Somehow this is the only reason why I have not transferred to Malaysia, been wishing to go there for so long...
Anyway, what's wrong with me? It seems like I've been complaining when I'm blogging, ahahaa..... Sorry, but this is the only place that I can complain since I don't feel like complaining in either facebook nor twitter, too many people can see it.
Phew, I've been blogging all this time putting so few pictures, eh?
My friends who blogged always put some pictures, but in fact I'm so lazy to do that, ahaha.... I'll try my best to put pictures next time.
Ok, back to study, ciao!

End of Mid-break
Today.....
Daylight Saving starts,
is a warm and sunnny day,
I've got work at 6-9.30pm,
is the END OF MY MID-BREAK!
I've been having these negative thoughts because of it.
Maybe because I'll be having my exam in 3 weeks, I'm starting to freak out.
I still need time to study, my study mood hasn't come back to be, and I've got a little bit of trauma.
From this stressful feeling, I am thinking that I need some refreshment while studying bit by bit. So yesterday I went to my friend's house to cook together and enjoy lunch.
It's also to celebrate one of my friend's b'day who had her b'day earlier this week.
It was good. But there is one thing which ruin everything, work.
I am currently working at a Malaysian restaurant as a waiter.
The pay was not that good, but the colleagues and the work itself are satisfactory.
The problem is, yesterday was such a hectic day, I can still comprehend that. However, I met so many 'hard-to-deal-with' customers and it annoys me, for 5 freaking hours!
There are so many friends that I know who went to eat there, good to talk with them, but there is this one guy, acting all high and mighty (in my eyes) even if he's not better than me, the way he acted was like he was looking down at me. "Just PISS OFF!" is what I thought, his condition is nothing to be proud of yet he dare to do that? Ok, they tease me a bit, it's not a bad thing EXCEPT that they can't see others mood, and I was such a moody person that I am annoyed to the max.
At least I've got such a calm and cool (as well as ignorant at some certain point) personality that I've get to deal with all those 5-hour of work without any food or drink! I was at disbelieve as well, my colleagues at the bar didn't make any drinks for me even if I've asked the 3 times, once every hour, and their excuse was that they were very busy even if they were able to make drinks for everyone else except me, duh....
What ruined my day was this housemate of mine who's stressing out about his assignment.
No need to go for further details about his assignment, but I tried my best to support him all this time, trying to break the ice as much as I can.
And guess what, he recorded me. I forced him to delete it and he refused.
You need to know, he was so pissed of before when I recorded him, and I complied by deleting the file. See? Such a childish act of him.
Moreover, he kept on playing the video, laughing as much as he can.
I started to stop comprehending, I'm just too tired and too mad that time (not that I have stopped my anger though.
He kept on saying, I'm the type of people who remember." Yeah right, as if you remember on the case that I just mention before, he must have forgotten that, duh.
I DO REMEMBER AS WELL, and once it's gotten in my mind, it's there just like a root!
There are times when people need to apologise directly, especially in this case. Why? Because he's holding the video which I demand to delete. If he apologise today, I can get suspicious that he already back it up somewhere.
Oh well, he's the type who don't apologise anyway, can't expect much from any of my housemates. At least I get to know more even if I'm sick of it. I'm sick of this house already, glad to know it now, before extending contract or moving together to other place. Maybe I'm the type who need to stay in a one-bedroom apartment afterall.....
Oh such a negative minds I'm having, just wondering why all bad things have to be dumped on me at the same time, I'm hating it.
Ok, sunny day outside, need to be more positive, nothing you can do over something bad which happened already.
What to do? Think positive and think of what I can do for things like this not to happen again. I think I need to start browsing for those one-bedroom property for rent. Hey, wait, Let's just focus on exam first, that can come after that. :p

Welcoming Mid-break
Yep, mid-break is officially started for Monash University students in Australia!
A lot of things happened since last time I blogged, will surely miss things to say here indeed, like what happened last time.
Oh well, this semester's mid-break won't be as exciting as the others. I won't get enough time for myself to enjoy it at all, I think I'll be spending it for my study.
I've been slacking bit by bit, and now I realised that the workload I need spare for my study has gone HUGE!!!!!!
Yeah, study, volunteer stuff, work, etc etc.....
It's very hectic indeed.
Moreover, me being asked to be a secretary, hope it's not going to be too much for me, I need to bear with it, I need to stay strong and focus, that's what I've been telling myself up to now.
I know I need to leave my childish part of me away, far far away......
It is not an instant act that will make me change straight away, however....
I believe with little spice of positive attitude on everything I do will make BIG changes in the future.
OK, time to get some rest. ^^

Such a Late Lunch
Wow, look at the time.
I just finished my lunch, it's 3.59PM.
I had my breakfast about 12PM, just one pack of indomie.
At first I was cooking porridge for my lunch, but I realised that cooking porridge will take a lot of time and I was starving that time.
Then I was too busy switching from laundry to assignment then to laundry again.
At least I've finished 50% of my part, need to finish it soon, otherwise my groupmates will be VERY MAD!!!! >___<
This is the worst part of me being sick, I want porridge or soup badly for my meal.
That's how I started to cook porridge.
My mistake is: Cooking it using rice cooker.
I think this rice cooker is designed to boil all water in it, that's how it leaves only the rice over and over again regardless of the water I added.
At least it tastes good. :D
Ok, continue working on assignment....

"It's 2010!"
"Mate, It's 2010! Anything can happen!"
Is what people kept on saying.
Sounds true and so normal to hear weird stuff.
Surprised at first and get used to it with the flow of time.
But we only see and hear those stories.
So, the question is, "How if you experience that?"
I was shocked at first....
After get reminded by the phrase 'it's 2010!', do I feel better?
Not really.
Hence, experiencing is a totally different stuff from hearing or seeing it.
Silly isn't it? I know that, but came to understand it just now....
This is what you call learning, there's only a thin difference between knowing and understanding....
So what's this experience? You guys must be wondering it for awhile now.
Unfortunately, it's for you all to find out, coz I'm not writing it here!

Busy Assessment Week
This week is such a busy week, I have to go to Uni every day, Monday-Friday, despite having Monday and Friday off this semester.
There are a lot of group meetings this week, maybe because there are many assessments due soon.
I have presentation, test, and assignment due this week!
Tomorrow I'll be having the presentation, fortunately this is a group presentation, so I should be fine here.
Thursday, test.... God, haven't really studied for the test at all! Maybe I'm buying the textbook for real tomorrow, I don't really get what they are saying in the lecture slides and tutorial answers, I'm screwed!
I really need to score well in tests as they are worth like.... about 30% of final mark!
Damn, hope I have enough time, I'll be revising my tutorials and past test papers for tonight!
Assignment.... I have one due this Sunday and another one Friday next week. Maybe this is the reason of the unbelievable number of group meetings I'm having this week, it's practically everyday except Tuesday, which is today.
Ahh..... By the way, I didn't go to uni today, I created my own day off just for today, just want to cool off for a bit. :)
I spent my day relaxing, cooking, cleaning, and of course.... study and do assignment.
And now, the clock shows 11.45PM, I need to come to uni at 10AM or 11AM tomorrow, so I think I'll be sleeping soon. Especially after a workout in the gym, I'm sure I need about 8-hour of sleep time. XP

End of August 2010
30 August 2010, 11:24AM
Dorcas House
I woke up in the morning, at roughly about 8AM, but I was having another attack of this headache, maybe I need to check my blood sugar to make sure I don't have anemia?
I decided to continue sleeping without updating my alarm and ended waking up again at 9.30AM. But I didn't get up just yet, I cuddled in the bed for about 20 minutes.... Yes, I do have the bad habit of cuddling around before getting up, that's why I always set my alarm 30 minutes earlier than it supposed to be.....
Then I got up at about 10AM, then I opened my Mac and browsed a little bit. Suddenly I became very hungry, enough to make me feel dizzy. So I decided to take a shower first as I was too lazy to cook, at first I was thinking of going out for lunch.
As soon as I finished showering, suddenly I was reminded of my expenses last week, I ate outside to many times in a week. So I changed my mind and started thinking of what to eat for brunch.
When I went to the kitchen, my roommate has already finished cooking and he got 2 plates of grilled chicken with salad on rice! I guess you all know what I did after seeing that?
Yep, here, the economic theory applies, we did an 'uneven' barter in my point of view. By 'uneven' barter, I mean that we are swapping his meal for my mayo as he was running out of mayo, lol. But I was the one getting the advantage, so I don't really care, haha..... Just kidding, sometimes we swapped food that way, I recalled that two days ago I cooked fried rice for him. XP
I put some sweet chili sauce and mayo on my meal, it was good, but he wasn't sharing his grilling tips for me. Anyway, I continued browsing and had my coffee.
Now back to job-hunting, I am revising my resume at the moment, just to make sure everything looks good before printing. I will apply for a waiting job at Deadman Espresso at South Melbourne. But before that, I will go around the city, just to refresh my mind before studying today.
I need to sleep early today, maybe about 10PM? Coz tomorrow, I'll be having lunch with my malaysian and japanese friends again, but I'll be cooking. :)
I will make some Inari, somehow my friend love Inari so much, so I offered her my cooking. Not that I like her or anything, she's already taken, but she's my best friend. I've known her ever since I came here and she is a very very good friend, she'll support you all the time and will do anything she can do to help you if you've got any problems. :)
That's how I'll end my 2010 August. ^^

Job Hunt & Assignment & Volunteer Work
Hi hiiii~~~~~~
Been so long since I last blogged was it?
Yeah, I was quite busy with my life, quite enjoying it at the moment.
FYI, I quit using the previous writing style of blogging if you noticed, it was troublesome, I did it just for fun anyway, hehe.....
This week, I want to finish up all my jobs in PPIA, only 2 things left, getting reimbursement for One-World-Week (OWW) and the general meeting (AGM).
I need to write a letter coz the president didn't apply for club funding for this OWW event.....
As for the AGM, it will be one meeting to choose the next club president, and that's it~ My job will be finished~
This semester I'm volunteering for Festival Indonesia. I'm in the Marketing and Publicity team, currently in charge of the facebook publication for this event.
It's kind of fun, it is not as easy as it sounds because I need to do some researches for the articles to be posted.
Next, assignments!
As for assessments this semester, it's quite convenient, I have assignments, presentations, and tests, with a quantity of 2 each.
I'm doing stage one of my Auditing assignment at the moment, till I decided to take a break with blogging and web-browsing as well as chatting. ^^
Tomorrow I'll be having a group meeting tomorrow afternoon.....
How about my job hunt?
I've dropped few resumes around the city yesterday, but I think I can't put too much hope on it.....
A little glitch of light showed, there was this cafe where I had my first brunch with my friends, it was a good one, they are looking for waiters, baristas, and chefs!!! However, they are seeking a full-timer, but I won't give up, I'll try dropping my resume on Monday! Hope they'll accept me! I want to get some Oz friends.... >___<
Anyway, I need to resume doing assignment, gonna be screwed if I don't finish this sooner or later......

A little glitch of light showed, there was this cafe where I had my first brunch with my friends, it was a good one, they are looking for waiters, baristas, and chefs!!! However, they are seeking a full-timer, but I won't give up, I'll try dropping my resume on Monday! Hope they'll accept me! I want to get some Oz friends.... >___<
Anyway, I need to resume doing assignment, gonna be screwed if I don't finish this sooner or later......

One World Week
13 August 2010
9AM- S**T! Forgot to change the alarm clock from PM to AM, resulted in no wake up alarm at all. Was supposed to leave house at 9AM. Still got some time to check internet while making coffee.
Luckily got the tram to South Yarra, the train was delayed, so caught the 9.43AM train at 9.46.
Quickly go to Caulfield to pick up choco-banana, 100 pieces of them. Then off to Clayton using Shuttle bus, reached Clayton by 10.55AM. A friend was sitting on the table for the stall, lucky asked her to stay there early in the morning.
Confirmed that all food in the stall is for free. Started last minute publicity through facebook, twitter, and blackberry.
Some friends did came, relieved. Lots of Aussies and other international students coming, they were so happy to be given freebies, everyone will.
12.15PM, surprisingly, all of the choco-bananas are finished. Closed the stall, returned MUISS's properties, off to campus centre.
Accompanying friends having lunch, preheat yesterday's croquettes, ate 2 pieces for lunch.
Went to library for chat, then did auditing web-test.
Went back to Caulfield to return Nusantara's stuff, back home. Ate the first meal of the day, the proper one.
Did some evening swimming laps, tired. Now doing work, one chapter of quizzes, hope to finish it tonight.

Light After Dark
Monday was bright
Tuesday was raining
Wednesday was another rain
Thursday, 12 August 2010
Woke up at 8AM again, surely missed the (going-to-be) replacement lecture that was missed on Tuesday. Oh well, at least not overslept for Thursdays, was supposed to wake up by this time anyway.
Ok, daily ritual of turning on Macbook before doing anything else, such a bad habit. Checking out facebook, twitter, and emails. Got an unsuccessful job application from AESOP, maybe it was regarding the storeperson, couldn't recall as has sent out many job applications via emails.....
Preparing usual takeaway coffee while having breakfast in the kitchen. Been eating this chocolate weetbix with milk this week. As for coffee, using Starbucks cup, it's still Kenyan Style Mocha with no sugar, hmmm...
Like how own daily life is, enjoyed the morning too much and it's already 9.15, rushed out.
Almost missed the 9.20 Cranbourne train if it was not for the 5-minute delay by metro. Reached Huntingdale Station by 9.55, 900 bus leaves at 10AM, that's good. This is the first time that I'm not (so) late to my 10AM tutorial on Thursdays, usually I'll reach Uni at 10.20, but today is only 5-minute late, that's considerably good.
4-hour straight of classes today, the tutorial was kind of boring and confusing, maybe it's because didn't do any revision anything yet. Pension lecture was as boring as usual, but at least Auditing lecture was more exciting.
This afternoon is as cold as last two days, complaints by my surrounding was like the rain itself, drops after drops. Now time to go home, feeling sleepy somehow. It's quite weird to feel sleepy in the afternoon.
Reached home, turning Mac on. No, too sleepy, couldn't take it anymore, it's 3.30PM, better get some sleep, put alarm on 5PM.
Ah, roommate is back, 4PM, bugger it, couldn't care less, just go back to sleep, covering whole body with dunner.
5PM, roommate was shocked, didn't expect that am home. Now can't sleep anymore, especially after receiving a phone call.
Start cooking, saw an interesting recipe, a mushroom-chicken croquette recipe. Took longer than expected, and surprisingly hard. Finished cooking at 8PM, 3-hour cooking 16 pieces of croquettes, deep frying left.
Put 10 pieces into freezer, when about to start deep frying suddenly mobile rang. Was a call from Officework, sudden phone interview. Very happy, will be notified about the outcome, if successful there will be face-to-face interview.
Having dinner in front of Mac while chatting with siblings, then do cleaning. There were several good things happened that will be too long to be written. Was gloomy past several days, good to experience nice things.
11.24AM
still awake, will go to sleep soon. Finishing blog.............

The Rain
It's raining (Again) today....
I was about to apply at South Melbourne and now had no will at all as I need to WALK there!
Ok, so I decided to stay at home instead, wishing for the rain to stop soon as I will be having classes this afternoon.
Let's say.... I'll wait for an hour?
I'll just do my tute while waiting, or doing my work.
Oh, talking about work, I've been paid! That was quick! XD
I thought the money will be credited to my account next week or so, haha....
Anyway, let's get back to what I need to do. :)

Job Hunting Week
This week I'm going around dropping resumes in hope to get a part-time/casual job.
Yesterday (Monday) dropped my resumes in South Melbourne.
The first resume went to Max Brenner, but unfortunately they are not hiring at the moment, but I still gave my resume.
The second resume I drop was for a western restaurant, they put up a sign at the entrance that they are hiring, so I dropped a resume there. But I don't really hope to get one there, still good though if I can get the job.
Today (Tuesday) I went around CBD area dropping my resumes in Pancake Parlour @Bourke and Officework in QV. My friend who is working at Pancake Parlour said that they keep on hiring people so I hope that I can get the job interview soon. As for Officework, they said that they are not looking for a part-timer at the moment, but there might be a casual position available, so I encouraged myself to fill in the application.
As for tommorow, I'll be going around in South Melbourne again.
It's because I originally wanted to drop my resume at Nandos and Coles there, and somehow I forgot that time. As I'll be having afternoon classes tommorow, I'm thinking of dropping my resume there before uni.
I also browsed around the internet and found 2 exciting jobs, I'll call to enquire regarding the job tommorrow. I hope I can get one of these jobs!

This is What happened if you happened to be a Newbie! (@ebay!)
I just signed up at ebay few days ago.
Why? I was not interested in it at all these few years!
FYI, I browsed ebay for the first time about 2-3 years ago, when I was looking to buy a new phone.
Ok, here's the story how I got an ebay membership.....
There is a new release of this packaged CD-DVD, containing music, game, and some kind of drama (vocal only).
I was looking foward to buy this for months.
I usually pre-order it months before it's released, as I've been buying products from this publisher for quite some time now.
The last time I pre-ordered was about 3 months back, I ordered it just one or two weeks before the product is released, and I actually got the product.
Soooo....
I did the same with this one, ordering it just exactly one week before its released.
And I know you all can guess the outcome, they are currently out of stock, the orders they are getting are overflowing.
Oh right, I didn't anticipated this one. It is true that this one will be twice as popular from the previous two I ordered and I didn't think about it at all until this happened, so immature of me.
At first I was kind of giving up to get it.
But when I was browsing the internet, I saw these limited edition items that you can get by pre-ordering! Oh My God......
I can't resist anymore, I gathered all my courage to browse around and look for anyone who sell it!
I found one in Japan, but they don't do international shipments, pity.
Then I found some in..... ebay.com.au! Banzai!!!!
They did overcharge me though, as expected, well, at least I created my chance to own this item!
Ok, ebay required me to sign up before I can proceed with my purchase.
So that's how I ended up having an ebay account, with accidental ID name of iyos3663!
So that's finished....
What happened after that?
Oh my, ebay got so many products, with unbelievable prices!
So I browsed myself, wishing to find a bedside table and a coffee machine, and ended up looking at iPad and iPhone 4!
iPads prices are really pricey, even if they are on low price, I still can't afford it.
How about iPhones? The 3GS models are surely cheap, but look at those iPhone 4s prices!
Most of them are on the $1k band, some might be cheaper on $800s.
I found one BRAND NEW iPhone 4 32GB on $380!
I was too tempted and bid, bid, and bid until it got to $420.
Let's see the outcome in 2 days, when the bid will end, I won't spend more than $500 for this though, haha.....
Will be my luck if I can get this iPhone 4, hope it won't be bad as it's issued. ^^

Start of Semester 2 2010
Ok, I admit last semester was hectic!
Nothing really goes right, only mess everywhere.
I realised that I was too idealistic sometimes.
And I learnt my lesson.
Maybe God has His own plan for me which I don't understand at the moment.
He let me fall and crushed myself on the floor.
It's hurt, the pain is still here right now and I don't know when it will heal.
And even it heals someday, the large scar will remain for eternity.
There are times when I want to cry.
There are times when I want to give up.
There are times when I am just to tired of this life.
But I'm lucky that when I am in that state, there are people supporting me around.
I might still need some more support, not that I'm in Melbourne.
But I need to realise that I'm totally alone here, there is no such shoulder for me to lean on.
I wish this semester will be much better than the previous one.
I wish to correct my mistakes.
I wish to start anew.
I wish I won't stray once more.

Going Back Home, to Jogja
Ok, it's already July 4th, it's time for me to go back to Indonesia, my hometown Jogjakarta to be exact. :)
It's only few months since I came back, but I'm sure there should be quite considerable changes there.
Time sure flies very quick, I've already spent one-week in Malaysia.
I went to lots of places, enjoying the food, walking around, relaxing, playing, etc etc.
Everything I did in Malaysia was my quality time and I'm enjoying it.
But I didn't just holidaying here, I've been learning many things as well.
It's 5:52AM, less than 30 minutes to boarding time, I'll be taking the 7AM flight with AirAsia.
Honestly, I haven't got any sleep at all, not because of excitement or anything, but I was browsing internet and chatting with my sister until midnight. Then we decided not to sleep since we were afraid that we'll be overslept, haha....
So here we are, waiting for our flight with dizziness, feeling very sleepy.
Well, I don't really feel it though, coz I didn't sleep for few days in the exam period, so I'm kind of getting used to it, LOL.
Ok2, now it's already 15 minutes prior to our boarding time, wow, browsing while blogging sure consumes my time faster than I expected.
I'd better focus on browsing instead, hehe....

Kuala Lumpur!
And YES! I'm here!
I'm currently staying at my sister's apartment in Mentari Court, Petaling Jaya.
It's around Sunway area, where Monash Uni, Sunway College, Taylor's College, and INTI College campuses are. So you can imagine the vast number of students around here.
It's my third day here, but I only walked around this area, since my sister is having her exam. I only went to Sunway Pyramid and Taylor's College.
And I did infiltrate to Taylor's College succesfully today, haha....
While my sister is doing her exam, I stayed in the library reading books.
The library in Taylor's College is much more interesting than Monash' somehow, maybe because of its variety of collections and atmosphere.
FYI, Taylor's Lakeside Campus' design is based on modern-tropical concept.
It's very beautiful with artificial lake in the center.
Most of the buildings are white in colour, and there are a lot of windows, enabling sunlight to come into the rooms.
The library is affected by this design and hence the library is bright.
The modern architecture and furniture are also nice, I love observing these kind of stuff, hehe......
When I first arrived in the library, I found Wall Street Journal in the newspaper section located in the ground level of the library, just next to the information centre near the entrance. So I decided to browse some news as I haven't really read news these few days.
Then I went up to level one, finding out that there are tons of variety of magazines, architecture, business, National Georaphic, Fortune, CPA, Accounting, Hospitality, Food, etc etc etc.......
I read through some Architecture Magazines, they got very interesting buildings in it. :)
Then I decided to went up to level 2, and found a lot of thick books unlike the ones I saw from previous levels. Then I took few books about beverages, here they are:
Interesting books? They are!
I finished reading one of them: The basic of Coffee!
I'll be staying in the library as well tomorrow and I hope I can finish the basic of tea and bartender book. ;)
Ok then, it's 1 AM and my sister is going to have exam in the morning, better get some sleep!

One-Week Kuala Lumpur
In few hours, I'll be flying to Kuala Lumpur!
Oh how I can't wait to leave Melbourne soon.
Somehow, this semester was hectic that it was making me hating living here.
Moreover, I overspent my money! OMG! That's the worst!
All of my money is supposed to cover my expenses this year, or until I graduate!
And after I calculated once again, after deducting school fees and accommodation expenses, it will help me last for only 3 months max! Arrggghhhhh!!!!
God! Please forgive me as I've sinned! I don't know what to say to my parents!
But there is one other way! I can do part-time job! Hmm..... That's a good idea.
If I'm not being pushed like this, I won't look for a job seriously.....
I need to realise that this world is cruel! XP
Anywayyyyy~
I'm quite excited right now, erm... no, VERY excited! Somehow I love spending my time in for holiday in Malaysia. Maybe because they got nice cheap food? I don't know, my tongue is very suited to Malaysian food~ hahahaaaaa......
But most of my time might be spent helping my sister with her study for exam, lol.
But it's okay~ I love spending my time with my precious family~ XD
Now, back to packing!
Might not write much blog from now, but I might A LOT though, still not sure, LOL

Half-yearly Freedom
Very true, eh?
It's not total freedom, it's your half-yearly freedom which will last for awhile.
Not that short, not that long, can't you believe it? It's one month.
I always use this kind of opportunity o fly back to my home country, Indonesia.
I don't know why, but I always fly back every semester, even though I always said that I'm not going back. Ended up that way, but I won't regret it, because I enjoyed it.
I love family gathering, all 5 of us together, sometimes traveling together, the last time was Europe trip.
I'm gonna enjoy the rest of my remaining time in Melbourne before flying to Malaysia.
I'm quite tired, I haven't got enough sleep these days, I think I'll sleep as soon as I finished backing up data from my previous laptop to External HD.

Today was Nothing
Maybe people will ask, "What do you mean?"
And me (or the other person) will answer, "It's coz I did nothing at all."
"Well, you hanged around with friends, you made a call, you arranged meeting, it's not in vain!" that person replied.
If you think positively, yes. I did make a call to arrange meeting for a sponsorship for my club's event. And I arranged a meeting for my work.
But think in different perspective, that was all about work or something vocational.
I, as a student, has a main obligation to study, which means that I need to focus on my EXAM!
If you are seeing from this very perspective, you'll see that I did nothing, all I did today was not about study at all, it was not effective at all.
I'm quite dissapointed in myself, but at least I released a bit of a burden from my back so I can concentrate more on my study (hopefully).
Actually I wanted to study as soon as I arrived home.
But maybe today was not my day at all. Look! There are lots of guest here!
This means I can't use the dining table which is my usual place to study.
So I decided to stay in my room, but great, you should know that there is no such thing like table to study, there's only bed.
I tried to study on my bed, it is inconvenient enough and people are playing music outside.
It was fine at first, since I can cancel out their music with earphones.
But hey, suddenly I heard some dissonance, it sounds like......
VIOLIN!
Yes! That stupid housemate of mine played his violin too!
God, the earth cracked, so do my concentration now.
Sleeping is also not an option as violin's sounds are annoying enough.
It's not like that I hate violin, but of course you would expect soothing melody coming out from such an instrument.
But I realise that is one impossible wish if you know that the player is not a professional.
So you would expect a cry from the violin instead of a lovely tune.
Ahh.....
I really hope that I can do well in this last exam of the semester.
I think I need to pull an all-nighter these two days in order to finish revising all of the materials.
Pfffttt......
I think I'd better prepare anything that I might need in order to keep me focused on my study, at least for the next hour.
Ok, enough talk, I need to resume my study and STOP COMPLAINING!!!
And me (or the other person) will answer, "It's coz I did nothing at all."
"Well, you hanged around with friends, you made a call, you arranged meeting, it's not in vain!" that person replied.
If you think positively, yes. I did make a call to arrange meeting for a sponsorship for my club's event. And I arranged a meeting for my work.

The Spanish Gunman
Ah, I need to talk about yesterday's scoop!
I woke up from my quick nap at 8AM, then getting ready for Campus for revision.
I thought it would be more effective to study at campus in the last minute before the exam.
So I left home just before 10AM, making me arrive Flinders Street Station a little bit after ten.
My train is the 10:08 Pakenham train, I've got enough time to go to toilet first.
I realised that the train is already arrived on the platform, so I rushed a bit and find myself a good spot in the train.
10:10
There is some kind of announcement from Metro (the train provider) that the train has been delayed due to 'Police Operation' at Richmond Station.
"Ok....?" that's what I was thinking as soon as I heard the announcement.
I waited patiently while reading my tutorial questions and answers, occasionally sipping my teh kotak which I had prepared from home.
10:28
My 'teh kotak' was finished, I saw the time, and similar announcement has been repeated for several times now.
I saw some people are getting impatient, especially a young woman who kept on calling someone notifying the situation every time the announcement was broadcasted.
Then several people started to leave their seat, especially after seeing a Metro officer walking around the platform.
All of them are very curious about the situation and started asking the officer questions one-by-one.
My curiousity built up as I started to get impatient as well, so I decided to join in their conversation.
The officer said that Richmond station has been shut by the police, and he was not well-informed either regarding the situation. He explained that it can take as fast as 10 minutes if there were only minor case, but it might take hours in case of serious situations.
10:40
So I decided to leave Flinders Street Station, giving up o trains, I started to put my hope on trams.
Before I go to the tram stop, I bought a regular triple-shot soy latte from Coffeee HQ, I found out that this kind of coffee will help you stay fresh the whole day.
11:00
The tram arrived, I jumped in to tram number 3 to Malvern East, which will pass Caulfield Station, my destination.
This tram pass through Saint Kilda Road, Nepean Highway, Balaclava Road, Caulfield Park, then Caulfield Station.
It is quite a long journey, and while I was waiting in the tram, I tweeted a lot informing my friends about the situation.
We exchanged a lot of information there.
I'm quite lucky having this Blackberry, I was holding myself for 30 minutes before I can actually go to the toilet at Caulfield.
11.45
At last I reached Caulfield, I rushed to Caulfield plaza for a toilet stop.
Then went to Coles to buy a bottle of drinking water.
I went to Building K to study where I met a friend and we chatted a bit, I told him a little bit abour what's been happening in the city.
I was not quite informed as well at that time, but I decided to warn my friends via facebook, telling that there are 4 gunmen.
Not even 5 minutes passed and my friend replied to my status, then suddenly he posted an article, which I share ASAP hoping that people will be informed regarding the case.
Here's the link for the article:
http://www.smh.com.au/victoria/teen-gun-suspect-extremely-dangerous-police-20100621-ypz8.html
Well, the article has been updated since the first time I checked it.
And I also posted another link for a similar article form different source:
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1283382/Gunman-on-loose-in-Melbourne
He's still currently free roaming around Melbourne.
Police are still chasing after him and if there's any suspicions, residents are urged to contact crime stoppers.
Oh by they way, my warning status on facebook has been copied by some of my friends, haha.....
Anyway, that was the news of the day! :)

End of the Third, Shadow of the End of Last
Melbourne, Tuesday 22 June 2010 12:32AM
It is midnight.
I've just finished my third exam on 21st afternoon.
After I think about it, I haven't slept for 36 hours now.
It was due to me cramping exam materials in the last minutes.
I know it's bad, I know it will not turn out well, yet why people (including me) keep doing this?
After I think again, actually the exam wasn't hard, none of the exam this year were, well, at least up to this third exam they were not hard.
I'm wondering, what's wrong with me this semester?
Ah, it seems like I'm psychologically sick this semester.... =_____=
My mental was not stable at all these few months, I hope it will recover soon.
I realise that I'm pissing of lots of and lots of people up to now for this year, and I'm quite sure it's much more than the accumulated number of people in one year!
Ahh......
This is one of the reason why I chose to spend my winter break in Indonesia instead, hoping that this heart will recover somehow.
I'll be leaving for Kuala Lumpur on 28th June, AirAsia flight at 01:15 if I'm not mistaken. Oh, I think I've talked about this before, my bad.
I'll be staying at my sister's place for nearly a week, and we've got some agenda already. ;)
We'll be attending some kind of fine-dining, but it's in the afternoon, and it's in my sister's campus, haha!
hint! My sister is taking hospitality course at the moment.
Any idea?
We're attending some kind of final exam for the seniors!
Dress code: of course formal.
I can't wait for my winter break!
Ah, I forgot to tell you that my sister will be having her exam next week. It's true that I'll kind of disturb her study, but in other part, she wants me to teach her math and accounting, so I think that it's fair enough?
I've been to Malaysia several times, so I know my way around, which mean that if my sister is busy with her uni stuff, I can go around by myself. :)
Oh, and I'm meeting my Japanese friend, she's actually studying at Monash University Clayton as well, but she's in the middle of an exchange program, that's why she's in Malaysia this semester. She'll be back in Melbourne next term. ^^
Oh well, now I've got about 50 hours to study (including sleep and eat and bath etc) before my last exam on 24th June, 2:30pm.
Hope tomorrow will be effective, otherwise I need to repeat myself by cramping all those materials at night, without sleep.
It's quite weird that I'm not sleepy at all despite lack of sleep, that's quite rare of me as I usually need a certain amount of sleep to be fresh, haha....
Hope it's a good sign! ;)

Tax Law Exam
Phew, I just finished my first exam which is taxation law.
I have to admit that it was quite hard.
It's true that it's an open book exam, yet the notes that I prepared weren't sufficient.
I didn't really prepare notes for two big questions which has 53 marks (out of hundreds) in total, 25+28 marks to be precise.
Damn, the exam itself was actually not hard, I know the answers, but yeah, it's law, that's what making things hard......
Anyway, I hope my next exam will be better.
I'll be having my next exam this friday, it's financial modelling.
I wasn't really good at the subject, but I will try my best not to fail the exam, lol.
Ok, better get some rest first before studying again tomorrow~ ;)

1st Day of Exam
Ok, this will be my first exam!!!!
I'll be starting this in less than 4 hours.
But honestly, I haven't really prepare myself for any of my exams this semester, haha.....
I'm just glad that this one is an open book exam, at least I have lots of notes from others, lol.
Oh, today's actually Queen's bday! It's supposed to be a public holiday, but Monash doesn't care about that at all. Oh well, not like I'll enjoy the holiday anyway.
Ok, that's it, short post as I still need to revise materials for the exam.
Wish me luck!

H-2
Well, the title doesn't mean that it's a formula or anything, it's just the count down of my first exam.... >__<
Taxation law~ The interesting yet boring subject, LMAO.
It's indeed interesting, yet I can't just lift my mood to study it AT ALL!!!!
And YES, see the title?!?! My first exam is in 2 days yet I am not prepared yet!
How to solve this problem?
Let me give you some useful yet absurd formula
Sleep - x, where x is the time you waste/ where you didn't study when you're supposed to
Easy? Not really! I need a lot of sleep, I can't forget the time when I was fallen asleep in the exam last year, it was Company Law exam, and I'm not going to repeat the same mistake! I need sleep! Haha.....
Anyway, hope I can finish this study by tomorrow evening! Ciao!

Brunch at Deadman Espresso
I just had brunch @ Deadman Espresso, located at 35 Market Street, South Melbourne.
I went there with one of my housemates and 3 other friends.
Well, it's quite pricey but it's worth the money, I loved it! ^^
FYI, I found out that they are having their blogspot as well! Here's the link:
http://deadmanespresso.blogspot.com/
I'm a coffee addict, so I'm following this, I might go browsing for other places as well!
But oh well, just seeing their food from their blog is making me want to go back again! Their photos are so tempting!
Look at these food!
I loved mine the most, it's the last picture of all, the BLT!
Okay, that ends my day (huh?).
It's true, coz I won't be going out again today, I'll spend the rest of my day at home catching up with my exam material, I hope I'll finish revising all by tonight, so tomorrow I won't be in much of a hurry.
Catch you again later. ;)
Days before 1st exam
It's Saturday morning, 2:49AM, and I'm still awake studying for my first exam on Monday....
Fortunately I'm not really sleepy at the moment, even though I feel dead tired and I know I'll fall into slumber once I drop this body on the bed, lol.
How's my progress going? Not good, and I really mean it.
It's Taxation Law for the first exam, I need to prepare notes as it is an open book exam.
However, I haven't even half way yet, I hope with this 2 remaining days before the exam I'll be able to finish revising and prepare all of my notes.
It will only be the beginning, I only have few days after one exam before the other starts and I haven't revise any of my other subjects!
I wonder if I can survive this semester? I really want to pass all of my subjects with good marks though, haha.
Anyway, I'd better keep on studying until I'm sleepy.
Gonna have brunch tomorrow with friends, surely will bring up my mood. :)

1st day of exam period
And YES!
Today is the first day of the exam period for Monash University students.
I'm saying good luck all but my first exam will be on the 14th June which is Monday next week.
And how's my preparation going?
Even primary school children will cry, I haven't done much.
Somehow I'm not having those exam pressure like others, it's good in one way, yet it can be regarded as the worst feeling right now.
"I really really need to study." that sentence was said many times already, yet I'm not moving even an inch.
How to give myself a motivation? I'm thinking about the holiday honestly, ahh..... how I think of my one-week vacation in KL~
But really, maybe I should try to start.
I'll study as much as I can, tomorrow I'll have a jogging around a little then reward myself with a cup of take-away coffee from a cafe nearby, sounds good? I'd better get moving then!

Winter Vacation Plan
Hi again~
It's midnight here, I'm still playing with my laptop even though I just mentioned that I wanted to sleep to my housemate just now, haha~
The fact that I'm happy makes me a little bit more hyper, because I just bought my return airline ticket for this winter vacation~
At last that stupid "Verified by Visa" problem is fixed.
VbV is like a security for online shopper by some merchants.
Well yeah, it's true that it increases the security for online shopper, it was just that the registration was quite a hassle for me....
It's not that it was hard or something like that, it was just a problem from the system, that in fact I need to register from my bank's website in order to be enrolled in VbV!
Now that it's solved, I bought my airline ticket! XD
June 28th 2010, midnight flight, 01:15AM leaving Melbourne and arriving Kuala Lumpur at 07:00AM local time.
I will be staying there until Monday, was it July 5th? Oh well, anyway, I'll be going to Jogjakarta.
And I will spend about 2 weeks in Indonesia before leaving for Malaysia again, which I'm not sure about the flight because actually my sister's the one who is arranging our flight KL-JOG.
I just know that I'll be taking the 01:15AM flight from KL to Melbourne, arriving in the afternoon.
That's my plan for my winter vacation for now. :)

Caulfield Building K -the lounge-
Hi again~
It's me writing with my new Macbook Pro, lol.
It's very convenient using a Macbook, didn't know it would be that fun, I'm still learning though.
Oh by the way, I'm currently "studying" at Monash University Caulfield Campus, Building K, I'm in the lounge in level 1, or should I call it common room? I'm not sure either.
Anyhow, I'm planning to watch lecture online today with this mac, hehe.....
At least it can last for about 4-5 hours, so I'm sure I can study that long without the need of charging, unlike my previous laptop which has a very very dropped battery. XP
I think I need to buy some accessory for this new mac....
Well, it's still new, so I want to protect it as long as possible, so it will look brand new longer, hehe.....
Ok, time to study!

The new Macbook Pro 15-inch!
Hi hi~~~
I've calmed down and everything's fine now~ (well, except for the exam though....)
All problems we're solved. ^^
And noww~~~~
I just received my new macbook pro 15-inch which I just purchased from the Apple Store Online last week!
I'm so excited and this is my first post using the macbook, hahaa......
Well, it's truly massive! It's huge, yet light. And it has strong battery life as well! Well done Apple! I've been using this new mac this evening, and I can use it for about 6 hours straight! Now that's what I'm talking about! ;)
Tomorrow there will be an inspection to our unit by our landlord and the agent.
We're gonna take our leave early in the morning because we don't want to see them, lol!
So~ we're gonna have a western style brekkie, or brunch, tomorrow! I'm enticed even more now!
You should see out unit now, it looks very spacious now, and look at my room! XD
My room will only stay like that this night though, it will turn back by tomorrow.... T__T
Oh well, maybe that's all for now, we all need to sleep, coz we need to wake up early, hehe~
I've calmed down and everything's fine now~ (well, except for the exam though....)
All problems we're solved. ^^
And noww~~~~
I just received my new macbook pro 15-inch which I just purchased from the Apple Store Online last week!
I'm so excited and this is my first post using the macbook, hahaa......
Well, it's truly massive! It's huge, yet light. And it has strong battery life as well! Well done Apple! I've been using this new mac this evening, and I can use it for about 6 hours straight! Now that's what I'm talking about! ;)
Tomorrow there will be an inspection to our unit by our landlord and the agent.
We're gonna take our leave early in the morning because we don't want to see them, lol!
So~ we're gonna have a western style brekkie, or brunch, tomorrow! I'm enticed even more now!

Going back to indo~
I had a chat with my dad through YM, I was complaining how pricey are all airfares on June-July period, it can cost $1500 return from Melbourne to Indonesia....
My dad said that if I really want to go home, I just need to pay the price.
Oh well, I know he wanted to see me and he also wanted me to focus on my study instead of worrying about this kind of stuff.....
But I can't just seem to tell him about the problem I'm facing... (nb:refer to previous posts)
I don't know what he'll be saying to me, I prefer explain it to my mom, it's more comforting somehow....
Anyway, I haven't received any reply from the agent.
I wished I can move out next week actually, I know everyone will be surprised, but who cares? LOL.
Maybe it's better to move out after the exam though, haha~
Let's just wait and see, I'll decide this friday, that's the time limit!
Tomorrow I'm going to see airline agents to check the price of tickets, then going to the agent to check if they'll have a room available soon. After that, I'll be going to campus to do a group assignment, it's due Thursday!!!!! >__<
Wish me luck tomorrow! I'm going to bed soon~ ^^

Full day classes? Failed... =__=
Meh, I got up late....
I set my alarm at 8am, hoping that I'll be ready by 9am for 10am class.....
But I ended up getting up just before 9am, now that will be impossible to catch up the 10am class....
So I decided to attend the 11am class onward.
Oh....
btw......
A and B are having a test today, I was hoping A the best, but my heart just can't stop jinxing B to fail, not just this test, but his whole subjects.
Well, that's me, but don't be surprised if the jinx worked, as it mostly worked to most people that I unconsciously jinxed before.
Now I'm expecting an email from the agent, hoping that I can move in there in few weeks, or maybe days, it will be great.
And I think I've decided not to apply for PR at Australia anymore. I know I'm still inexperienced, I want to see the world, I want to study in another country for my Masters degree....
But I'll be going to China first to learn Mandarin, lol.
Ok then, better get going, I don't want to be late for my 11am lecture!

Assignmenting in week 13
Oh great, with this kind of mood, I've got no desire to do my assignment at all!!!!!!
Nb: read previous post first
It will be week 13 in an hour, I haven't revised anything and still have this stupid assignment around me! Arrgghhhhhh, I'm so stressed!
And moreover, my 'f**king housemate' that broke the warm atmosphere at home!!!!!
nb: read previous post
And yeah, the textbook is opened, with all the theories required for assignments.....
The data are all here for me to convert them into words of reports.....
But gargh.... really, I'm in no mood to do it, I would prefer sleep!
Moreover, tomorrow I'll be having full day class, and it's week 13, meaning that I would not miss any class!!!!! Hence, classes 10am-12am, then 1pm-5pm, continued by Kendo 6pm-8pm.
I have to attend all! It is commitment to ensure that I have determination and I'll pass all subjects!
Why do I still have assignment in week 13? When I should have just peacefully revise all exam materials? And what's worse, I had 2 assignments! All hard ones! Damn, screw them, really want to ditch them instead, hau........
Right.....
I just received an MSN from a friend~
It calmed me down a bit, haha.....
whenever I'm with her I feel at ease. ^^
Okay, just made a time to meet up with her. XP
But it doesn't change the fact that I'm stressed from assignment and everything, ok?

?Friendship?
I don't care anymore if it's being exposed and everyone get to know about this and "that person" become angrier, because I really need to express this somewhere. *desperate
Well, let's start.....
Just say that there is A and B, both are my good friends. One of them is my ex-housemate, and the other is my housemate.
These two got into some kind of dispute.
A accidentally said something wrong, that annoyed B so much.
B has been avoiding A the whole night.
B told me about this matter.
The next day, A has been trying to contact B, A knew that something's wrong and he wanted to say sorry if he did something wrong to B.
As B didn't answer any of call or messages, A decided to contact me, who was on a meeting.
I left the meeting room, and A sounded very sad on the phone.
At first I recall that B didn't want A to know, B just wanted to stay silent, and B wanted me to stay silent too.
But I think it will be unfair, both A and B are best friends.
I decided to leave a hint to A, asking him, "What happened last night?"
Then, I hung up, saying that I'm in the middle of the meeting.
Unexpectedly, B asked me if I told A about that matter. I freaked out, and all my messages sent to B was really going around and around.
B got mad, he messaged me all awful sentences that pierced right through my heart.
I was very depressed, B never did that to anyone, not even to A.
B didn't like it even if I left that kind of hint to A.
I felt very guilty, I rushed back quickly, luckily the meeting place and my home is close by.
I really wanted to clarify everything and apologize to B.
I was really terrified and unsettled, so I called A, explaining the situation.
A didn't believe me at first, as he knew B for so long and it never happened before.
My tears almost flow out that A felt really terrible.
I reached home quite quickly.
I rushed to B's room, knocked his door.
B opened his door slightly and said that he's changing clothes, asking me to wait.
I waited there for several minutes, I knew B was taking his time, not only to change clothes, but arranging his room.
By the time he came out he just passed me, as if I'm not there, not just once, twice, or maybe even more.
I was quite dissapointed that time, I really wanted to apologize sincerely and he pushed me away like that.
That day I went to bed quite early, then in the middle of the night, B came back home with my other housemate. B was complaining about something, I'm pretty sure it was about me and A, and he said really mean, harsh words.
It was really heartbreaking, I didn't even dare to try to approach him to apologize anymore.
The next day, I woke up the earliest among all.
I couldn't imagine my time here, being ignored by a housemate. What's worst, it will be another semester until our rent finished.
I really can't stand it, so I browse the internet, looking for accommodation around city. Yes, I'm planning to move out soon.
It's not only because of this, I've experienced this kind of ignorance in our apartment before.
I really wish for a place where all housemates are like families, so I think that actually we were not meant to be housemates. Luckily, I found one nice place, near the station in the middle of the city, only 5 minutes walk to Melbourne Central Station, very comfy.
I decided to email the agent, it's a student accommodation, so they should be able to help me.
Sharing with stranger will do to me right now, as I won't put my expectations about "housemates' too high. Living there will be close to everywhere around city, so I should be able to catch up with my friends easily.
Then, I went to church for afternoon mass in the city.
I was thinking that I need to consult the father after mass, but he said he was busy.
I don't know anymore, I wanted to talk to someone about this matter.
I called A again, explaining that I wanted to move out. A asked me to reconsider this decision, as he judged that I was too hasty that time.
I took my time to calm myself by wandering around the supermarket, but I can't put myself at ease, I even almost throw out in the counter......
I went back home as soon as I finished groceries shopping.
I found B and my other housemate at home.
He didn't really reply me when I greeted him. I knew it, he's still very mad at me.
And I found out that B has not even talk to A yet.
Both A and me are very dissappointed in B.
I tried to approach B again, trying to apologize again.
But he just didn't want to talk to me, using excuses again, saying that he's studying for a test.
So he think he can't spare a few minutes for me apologizing to him at all?
I became quite furious, and now I really waited the answer from the agent. I really hoped that this agent will say that there's one room available, so I can move there ASAP!
I don't care, at least there's an agreement, I can move out, with a bit of price as sacrifice, but it will be fine with me.
It's gonna be exam soon, I really don't want anything like this to happen, I'd rather dissappear from here as soon as I can.
I wouldn't care about what other people would say about me, I really want to get good marks this year, I can't let this trivial matter disturb my study.
And what's worse, he tweeted about me (even if he didn't tag me), and it's like saying: "I won't forgive you."
OK! FINE! It's even better now, I can move out lightheartedly, without any worries at all!
Oh my god..... I'm really really in the worst mental state this year.
I would like to call my family now, but I don't want to worry them.
The only one I can talk to is my sister, but she can't be contacted yet, I think she's going out or something.....
What's left? This blog! I don't care anymore, hell yeah, read this, and spread it, I wouldn't care less.......
This is the hurdle of friendship, it won't go smooth eternally.
I know that.
This is the test of friendship, once we pass this, we'll be closer.
But I can't see the way to solve this.
Because of one thing....
Remember one thing, I always always tried this, and this rule is not to be broken:
Even if you are angry, mad, full of hatred....
Do not say something over the line....
As it will close the door, shut it tight, locked, never to be opened again.
You know your heart is hurt, but hurting back is just.....
You need to calm down yourself first, holding back not to hurt others.....
Remember your prayer, the prayer that god taught you:
"Our father"
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Yes, if you want to be forgiven, forgive others.
This is what my mom told me when I was little.
Wow, I wrote so much.....
I didn't realize that! But I still want to write more....
There's so much emotion that I need to pour somewhere....
But maybe this is it, I'll write again next time, or maybe now, in the next post? haha.....

Reflection before the Outbond
Well, somehow I'm just glad being myself.
There are many times in my life that I envied people around me or someone I heard of.
It's just human if think again, we do commit the sin called 'envy', and to counter that we are blessed with gratefulness.
I'm grateful to be myself, even if I'm usually sick, even if I'm weak....
It just made me watch on what I'm eating, maybe that's why I didn't get overweight at all even if I ate a lot back when I was in Indonesia....
Yesterday I went to Grampians National Park, and tomorrow I'm going for an outbond at Peninsula, staying overnight there with other PPIA committees.
The more I travel, the more my vision broaden.
I see more of the world, make myself more mature, give me more experiences.
I realise that not everyone can be like me, and so vice versa with other people, I can't be like them all the time.
I know that even though I've traveled to so many different places, I'm still childish....
But I can feel that every journey I had in my life changed me little by little, and it's what makes this world beautiful, small changes that will be seen as big in the future by others.
I need to get up early tomorrow and reach Caulfield by 7.45 for the outbond.
You guys know what I meant?
It's simple, by seeing the time now (9.45pm) and the place I lived (city/south melbourne)...
Guessed already?
Another clue: It takes 1/2 hour to get to Caulfield from my apartment
Last clue: I'm not feeling that well.
Yes, I need to go to sleep NOW!
Nights everyone.

Day before Decisions
It's Monday March 8th 2010, it's Labor's Day in Australia.....
It's supposed to be a National holiday, yet my University still had it's activity just like any other Mondays.
People complained, but there's really nothing we can do about it.
And yes, I hate Mondays, I've got full day classes starting 10am till 5pm plus club activity 6.30-8.30, so practically I'm staying at uni the whole day.
We just had some hail and thunderstorm over the weekend and it's forecasted that we'll be having some today. It was shiny the whole afternoon though.
I had to skip one of my class and the club activity since I wasn't feeling really well.
I had this sprue for 3 days, and it's causing headache to me.
Thank god I found my Chinese medicine which is very effective in curing sprue.
I hope it will be recovered tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll be deciding on which apartment I'll move into.
One of my application was approved on Friday, it's such a nice modern apartment with all the facilities.
But I still prefer the other one, it's like a modern European apartment, just having a few levels, no facilities, but I'm just falling in love with the area. Just one step out of the apartment and you'll find one of the most famous shopping precinct in town.
You can find everything around it, groceries, cafes, restaurants, shops, cinemas, and even designer's clothings! It's only a few minutes walk to the station as well!
Oh, how happy I'll be if the agent call me tomorrow telling me that it's been approved.
It might be small, but I just fell in love with that area.
Otherwise, I need to choose the other one since we have no more time, Uni already started and we want to clear this ASAP, so we can focus on our study.
Now I'm waiting for midnight, we'll be surprising a friend who's going to have his birthday, pretty sweet huh? It's like a tradition already.
I think that's all for now, I'm sorry for neglecting this blog for a few months, I was too lazy blogging when I'm at my hometown, but now I'm back!
