iam back again.
sekarang aku tau deh, kenapa gue ga suka ama si langgar (sebel betul liat tampang dia). Xiao3, you guys knowwho i am talking about.
ternyata tanggal lahir dia itu 14 mei, gue emang tidak cocok ama orang yang lahir tagl itu. pengalaman nyata gue. rese banget. awlnya gue seneng bakal semajor ama dia, eh ternyata salah besar banget. i wish ga semajor ama dia. semogacourses yang mau gue ambilga sama dengan dia. Duh, lupa did something this morning, abis lupa sih .Sorry deh ...

udah huan nang, hau lian lagu, sebel eh. gimana caranya biar gue ga bt ya ? i dont know what i can do to.dah ah pusing neh lagi nyari artikel sambil print









today is friday, got nothing to do except Group lunch at ISS, yew kong (ISS Adviser, quite cute juga) say that we dont have to bring our own lunch. yipee, free lunch lagi, lumayan neh, bisa penghematan banyak. trus gue ditelp ama some called Cherry, i think she is a chinese girl, asked to meet me. because i registered to the christian club, duh jadi kaya manga, di mana2 ada club yang ngajak masuk.

oh jadi inget, 2 weeks ago, i went to movie watched The Last Samurai, waduh keren abis neh film, pdahal udah down dulu, cos sebelumnya i read the review at kompas. payah neh reviewnya kompas, tidak reliable. bt deh gue. wlah TOm nya keren abis. jadi pengen ntn lagi neh, tapi kl ntn terus, bokek deh. tunggu student card keluar aja dulu biar bisa dapet consession.
duh hidup di sini enak bener, segalanya teratur banget, rapi dan tertata, yang gue suka sih , ga ada yang merokok sembarang tempat. trus lu mau pake baju apa juga ga ada yang peduli. freedom banget di sini.

Australian day, 26 January 2004. That day was the most exciting day during my few day stay in sydney. semua orang tumpah ke city, banyak banget acara. visit Cathedral, wah bangunannyaidah banget, kaya bangunan jaman dulu, trus tur keliling cathedral st mary, masuk ke cryptnya, trus lantainya jg keren banget.indah sekali, bangunan sejaln tahun 1600 itu bisa bertahan sampe skrg, mana pernah dilempar ama bom lagi, trus lantainya jadi cacat tapi ga dibenerin, sekedar bukti pernah dilempar ama bom, trus gambar2 di dinding2 gereja juga indah banget, ada ceritanya lagi, trus ada juga yang gambarnya dipasang terbalik, karna tidak sengan dan dibiarkan aja begitu sampe skrg cos ga ada yang permasalahkan hal ini.

walking around the city, visit every museums that gave free admission on that day must be the great experiences. masuk ke musim art, gitu, (duh lupa nama museumnya) liat2 gambar which i didnt interested at all, trus ke musium apa lagi ya ? duh bnayak bnaget sih, yang pasti kaki jadi pegel2 karna jalan terus. yang paling seru ya, liat fireworks at 9 pm, udah tunggu dr jam 5an gitu, taking tempat yang ok but liat, akhirnya dari cuma ber6 jadi rame banget berpuluhan, anak2 pada ngumpul, ada yang take pics ada yang record. pokonya indah banget deh di sini liat langsung, first time in my life.

yesterday went to eastgarden, shopping mall, belanja kebutuhan sehari2, trus balik2 eh ada Giordano, lagi sale. jadi deh beli 2 baju (made in china hehe) $30. langsungngocor neh dompet trus besok sabtu mau ke chinatown lagi, kayanya bakalan ngocor lagi deh. pusign2 deh, minggu ini udah abis berapa tuh ? Inget mesti hemat hemat !!!!! masak ah sendiri lagi, kl ga ya biat roti dehyang gampang.

nah tempat gue stay juga aneh banget. ada 4 orang termasuk gue, tapi masak sendiri2 trus makan juga sendiri2.,yang bae cuma roomate gue, kadang dia masak guebelum makan gue diajak, tapi galak teing, mentang2 ibu kost gitu. ya suan lah. wu suo wei lah.

duh pengen ketik lagi tapi dah jam 11.30. it mean i have to go

hi everyone. this is my first [ost after i arrived at Sydney. Sydney is a nice city, but very2 expensive. but thx God. i have find yg long term accommodation so i dont have any troubles with that. and i can save my establishment allowance for spending it for my holiday.
first time i arrived. time ran so fast. baru taruh koper di rumah udah di suruh kumpul di uni, mau dikasih cek (itu yang diharapkan hehehe) trus buka bank account, buat transfer atm dll. first impression, people here walk so fast, almost like runnning for me. gila jalan kaya udah dikejar setan aja tuh.
hari kedua santai di rumah and take a walk around the house. asik juga tapi sepi ya suasananya, ga hetic kaya jakarta, ga rame. cuma belanja2 buat masak yang aga2 gampang. daripada makan di luar 2 kali makan udah 14$ mending gue masak sendiri 5 $ udah bisa buat 2 kali makan. kan lumayan hemat. tujuan gue kan keliling2 OZ sambil belajar not the way around hehehe. hari ke 3 which is jumat, ke uni lagi, busyet cape bo jalan ke uninya. buat briefing doang trus sabtu ke ke airport anter netty yang balik ke palembang, trus siang pasang bunk bed. i sleep di atas, enak juga jadi ga gitu dingin. satu hal lagi, di sini lagi summer tapi kok dingin ya ? mana hujan lagi, baru today dan kemaren yang ga dingin, malah panas banget, jadinya gue sakit kepala yang sleep dr jam 10 ampe jam 7an pagi gitu, tapi badan jadi segerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

minggu ikut nana ke gereja, masuk ke gereja, suasananya enak banget, unik and antik, tapi gue belum gitu ngerti neh, terutama pas bacaan 1 n 2, yang baca umat, gue malah ga ngerti what were they read about, abis misa enak ada makan2 trus minum2, yang pasti beda deh ama gereja gue yang dulu, ga akrab banget. trus minggu ini rencananya mau ke gereja randwick, trus mau join koornya. duh jadi rindu suasana koor. asik asik.
this week nothing special. but i have to work hard and harder in case to survive.
dah ah cape , no idea buat nulis apa lagi

Hasil perjuangan di tahun 2003

January
Fly to Jakarta, to take IELTS test and interview, held by ADS. I was interview by a prof. from flinders university and a staff from, oh forget nama instansinya, BUMN.
IELTS 18 January
Interview 22 January
Then fly back to hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year. I never tought that that CNY will my last “big celebration” in Indonesia, before I fly to Australia.
Celebrate Chinese New Year, panen Hung Pao.
*Sorry, mixed languages among english, indonesian, and chinese.

Pebruary
Still celebrate new year. You know Chinese New Year is celebrated for 15 days. On the 15th day, there is a parade, dragons parade. According to tradition, there is only 1 dragon, but in my town, there are many many dragons. They parade along the main street. And usually, the street will be closed for cars. But it still traffic jam.
The biggest gift I ever had was this day. At morning I browsing the internet, actually, can wait the result of the test. Logged on to the web www.adsjakarta.or.id to find out the result. Read carefully and seached my test number n name carefully. And suddenly i found that my test number listed on the list. I still check it again till i really sure. My tear dropped cos i cant believe that i passed the test. Thx Jesus!! And then i ran to tell my mum. And still cant stop crying cos happy not because of sad!! I think this was the first time i cried because of happy. The date was 15 Pebruary 2003 and it is also my sis bday. This date was the very good date for me hahaha.
On pebruary 24, KG was RIP, cos of some problems. So i have to move to other nongkrong place. Phoenoberix, tried hard to accommodate us, and officially create new forum www.f4fans.net for f4 fans :)

March
My brother’s weeding was on 16 March 2003. I flew to Jakarta with Da Jie n her family. Kebetulan dia balik ke sini and got free voucher for the opening new Hotel, Santika Hotel. The Hotel that i reject to join because this scholarship and i had to repay them 200rb, taken from my account because i leave the job before I started to work.
In Jakarta, i stayed at different places. 2 nights at Da jie, 1 night at Da Ge and 1 night at apartment. This was such a big wedding party, just like reunion of the full super duper big family. During my stay at Jakarta. Orengez, sms me to curhat about her perseteruan with other warga. Haha, this was a sad story. No need to expand.

April
My younger uncle came to hometown with surprise. He bring my mum’s cousin and her daughter n grandsons. She had never gone home for years. My uncle also bring his big family, too but leave Windy at Cirebon. The bad new was, my grandmother was felt down and broke her back bone?, didn’t know which bone. She is 90. uh so sad at that time, because my uncle want to give surprise to her, ehhhhh malah felt down. What else i did on april ?
May
Early of this month, i celebratea my bday. Oh getting 1 more year, getting old, in my mid twenties. Nto many de pie de se i did on this month.

June
I think, the same like last month. Zai Zai celebrate his bday on 9 June

July
My sis come back home, taking a break from school. She said want to meet me before i leave to jakarta. Hahaha. We ending this month by watching At the dolphin bay 1-4

August
I flew to Jakarta on August 1st. on 2nd August, i officially met Harle n blue for the first time. We got along very well. Talking bout f4, forum, pengurus. Talking everything and also have lunch at Wendys, MTA. Btw, i also met Juli, with her bf ??. at that time she was going to MT house’s for spent the night there. August 10th, F4fans Gathering.the only boy there was mr.Admin. he was giving out F4 pics. I sat beside him but i didn’t get any pic of f4. so sad huh ? finally i met lesta, lime, yunk2, mbak mira, senora, une, kensa, bianca uhhhhh i forgot !!! Gathering at HC MTA, stayed there for about 2 hours. So sad that i cant meet orangez. She suddenly cancelled her flight to Jakarta cos her father was sick. On this month, i started my EAP program. I met a lot of people from different towns. My EAP groups was great. Consist of 16 student and i was the youngest in the class and the most passive in the class, cos u know, all of them are older that me and everyone were trying to perform good and look active. The good thing from this EAP was i can survive anytime but the bad thing maybe its assignment. I have writing essays. Oh i forget to mention the teacher. Lauren!! She was the best teacher i ever had!!
Also on this month, almost every weekend, i went out with QQ, ling n his wife. I was tricted by ling a lots of time hehehe. Never think this before. Cos before he get married he was a stingy person.

September
Still doing my EAP and new EAP groups was coming, it is 8weeks groups. The building was crowded by people.

October
Last month of EAP, and IELTS test on 23rd. i sat next to speaker on the test room which bring me very good luck on listening test!! I got 9 for this section. I cant believe it myself. After the test, my group went to marinara, a seafood buffet at Sarinah, next to hardrock café. Have a nice lunch, gave lauren gift and she returned our assignment. The bad news was, i got home very late, stuck on traffic jam for 3 hours. This was because i took 5 pm bus. 24th was the closing ceremony. David spiller didn’t attend this ceremony, he was in Australia. We took a lot of pics. Lauren handed our certificate. We had some snacks and then some went to ADS office, p’roby took his offer letter, and then moved to pasar festivals for lunch. That day was the last day i met them. So sad, that i will never meet them again in the future unless they visit me in Sydney, someday in the future. Maybe, i will be meet p’darto, cos he attend the same uni and faculty with me. Few days later, i spend my days at Meruya, going to Puri Indah, Makro, church and met ike, dora n ester. After that i went to Cirebon. I think i have told this before. So lazy to type neh.

November
Still in Cirebon. Got Filas’ shoes. Soi ku payed for me!! He also bought me mentari voucher, have seafood for lunch. Oh ya, forget, all the way from jkt to cirebon, i saw many truck brought pepsi and the slogan ‘Ask for more” i felt like XT in the truck hehehe.
Bencana, even the word Jia You cant give me support. This was cos somebody wanted to give me something and i have to follow his ‘kemauan’ rese kan? Mau kasih barang aja pake syarat ini itu. Ga dilakukan salah, dilakukan ga sesuai dgn my wish. My tear drops habis sia2 neh. Udah ke mangdu, seaching sono sini juga, eh useless, ga ada efek. Then i took my offer letter and signed it and returned itu to ADS asap!! When i took the letter, i went there by motorcyle. My cousin brought me there. From Grogol to kuningan, serem juga heheh, then from kuningan puter2 kemang, fatmawati niatnya mau singgah ke esmod, tapi gue ga mau then finally went to PIM have setengah lunch setengah dinner. Still in the mal, lau ba called, asking where am i and with whom. Then went home aroun 5 pm. Still early, but lau ba dah called, ce me pan ? mei pan fa lah.
Tgl 19 dapet tiket pulang so asap i packed to go home. Home sweet home lah. Drpd dapet tiket tgl 20 harga tambah 200rb? Arrived safely at home around 10pm.
Akhirnya dapet juga pulang n spend my days before berangkat ke Sydney. I will fix my teeth. Buy things etc

December
Went to dentist and cost 900rb, result 3 teeth tambal and lost 1 tooth. Starting to ntn lagi. Film apa ya ? hmmm internal affair 2 and other movies yg belum gue tonton. Contact other friends and asking what have they prepare. Asking some friends about UNSW, searching at www.unsw.edu.au and www.fce.unsw.edu.au
At xmas, elvin pulang kampung. She visited me, and talked a lot. We are best friend since kindergarden. Can u believe it ? actually, menurut urutan keluarga, i have to call her a ie, but she refuse so sometime, i get confuse how to call her mother. If i consider she is a friend, i can call her mother, aunty but if from tradition i have to call her mother setara dengan level grandma. Uh so confusing.
Jalan di gang diperbaiki, use cement, and then byk mulut para tetangga soal jalan. They were too socialize i think. And then berantem dll. Closing this year by jaga rumah, parents went to Batam and spore. Kl paspor gue ga di ADS, gue pasti mau ikut, soale bisa ketemu ama orangez. But apaboleh buat ? no passport no trip to Batam and Spore. It is ok lah, maybe next time or year 2005 ? i will go to spore to find kung cuo!!
