Graduation

Wow... haven't blogged for ages...
Been really busy these days...first I went to Tasmania for the Easter break, then a week after that I went to Brisbane for work and my parents just came for holiday and also to attend my graduation ceremony :-)


Been really happy with my parents companion here in Sydney..it was just a pity they couldn't stay longer than 10 days -___- well it's a lot better than they're not coming at all though :) yep, always need to see things from their brighter side :D


Some graduation pictures that we took...
I actually borrowed a tripod from my friend's friend but my dad didn't like it when I spent time to set it up...
It would still look better than when my dad took it hohoho :P
He tried to take a lot of them but some of them were badly taken -.- gomen... I just speak out the truth here hahahaha....
But my dad was so passionate taking a lot of pictures... so still like that idea :D



I miss them so much...
Will go back one day to Indo but don't know when yet... I want to find out what I really want to do there instead of going there and still confused what to do...
I guess while I'm thinking, it's good to earn some bucks here :-)

Today I was called by my friend...she said something about being envious to someone who got a better task than her and stuff...
Just thinking over our conversation...I think people would always envy others REGARDLESS how well they've been doing...
Then I suddenly remember my parents... I also realised that I always envy my friends, including the friend who called me earlier... but then when I think about my parents... I feel that I would never envy anyone in this world for having better parents than me...
They may be richer, younger, more generous to their kids but I don't think they would love me as much as my parents do :-)
Realising that actually did make me feel better hehe...
Anyway, I'll blog about my Tasmania trip next time...have a good night everyone :)

Some good news

Congratss for all of us (including me hohoho :P)

First of all, congrats for Matt & Sandy for their engagement :) Finally they get married :) well not yet married but already engaged.. that's still a big progress isnt it?? :)

Well Im just so happy when my friends have finally found their true love... (believe me, I'm alright :P)

Hold on...congrats for me too, now my status isn't a potential graduand but I've been AWARDED for my Master degree... wooohoo!!! Now I can write Debie Karjo Bsc. Mcomm in my wedding invitation...

Now, I just need to find the candidate for the groom :P wakakaka jk...

I seem to be very happy now hey but actually it's just OK... I've sort of expected to graduate :P
The ceremony will be held on the 10th April 2008... :-)

Potential Graduand

Hohoho...Just got UNSW results today and I passed all subjects :D
So now my current status is a potential graduand :D

I think I can be happy now since I should be able to pass the academic check and be awarded as a real graduate :-)

For those who haven't checked, quick check your student email...

Ooh Yeah!

Finally, the day I dreamt about recently... :P
No more exam babeehhh :P woooohoooooo!!!!
I also have known 2 of my final marks coz the lecturer kindly posted the final exam's results so we could work it out :D

Other than that, been looking fwd to my trip back to Indonesia this Thursday the 29th :D
Will stop by in Jakarta for 3 days then going straight to my hometown, Semarang, Central Java.

Hmmm have a lot of things to do in Indo...work work work!
Will also need to catch up with a lot of friends, relatives, and new friends :D
Maybe I need to long-list them. Otherwise might forget some of them...
Me also want to learn piano :D Will also go to Bali and maybe other cities in Java :) Woohoo will do a lot of stuff on my holiday :D:D

Sigh, I'm happy that I finished my uni but I am also sad since that means no more fun with uni friends :( hehe last nite I went to have coffee with some uni friends before I leave to Indo. Will post some pics if my friend has sent me the pics :P

Now another milestone has been passed. Next, I need to setup another short term goal to achieve next year.
Thinking about my job next year, I don't think it will be easy...but easy job is not challenging eh? :P haha whether it's easy or not, we just gotta do it and set our mind to tackle all problems 1 by 1
Aja Aja Fighting!!! :P

To make it more sentimental, here is a song for our graduation guys (eventho the final results haven't been released LOL) :P

Lee Soo Young!

Third exam was today... The level of difficulty was expected but I've realised that I've made some mistakes :( arghhhh...I feel so tired and bored of study -_____-"
My last one will be next week though... still... I havent started reviewing/studying at all! -.- Let me forget about my exam for a while :P

Recently, I've been listening to Lee Soo Young's songs... She's a great Korean singer... her voice and songs just fit my taste :)
She's won some awards in Korea and everytime she won them, she cried out loud on the stage :'( so touched when she did...
Well she's won quite many (I suppose) of them, so she should expect to win next time haha... no need to cry again then :|

I started to search for her songs after I watched her participating in a Korean game show called xman... she was sooo funny when she participated in the segment "Dayunhaji" (meaning "Of course") :)
I didn't know that the girl in that show was actually Lee Soo Young, the singer of "I believe" that was debuted in 1999. I actually had listened to some of her songs before but since I didn't know the singer (err I think because I can't recognise the singer's face from their voices) so I didn't know that she sang one of my fave songs haha
Then after I found her accidentally from some random K-MVs, I started to search for more of her songs...

To share a bit.. this one is a nice one (at least for me ^.^v)...
I can't wait to get her whole album tonight :D

Lee Soo Young - Secret/Bi Mil

Second Exam

Yes, I had my second exam this morning. I feel like im getting old now... maybe coz I'll turn 25 next year so I've started to have this back problem LOL :P

The exam was crazily tiring haha, I needed to write 9 pages of answers for 2 questions and on page 6 onwards, my hand writting was like a real mess, my hand muscles couldn't support the pen anymore yet the clock kept ticking so yeah I need to ganbatehh there hehe lucky I haven't broken my wrist hahaha *exaggerrating* But I think I did alright overall...

Went straight home to enjoy the comfort of some old invention called bed, pillow, and of course my guling :P and even though I had a weird dream I couldn't manage to wake up that soon hehe maybe coz it wasn't a nightmare o___O

Ah yeah, also got an email from my future employer about a networking event that will be held in Brisbane. I thought since it is in Brisbane then I can't go. It will be held in the 28th btw. Then I emailed the HR and confirmed if it's in Brisbane coz obviously I won't be able to attend if it is. Then she replied that she could manage a flight for me :D I thought wow that'd be good!!!
I feel so happy coz I will start working in Feb but have been treated as if I've joined them some times ago :) nice...
The only problem is that it will be held on the 28th yet on the 29th evening I will fly back to Indonesia. I wonder if they would still fly me back on the 29th morning knowing this :( Well, can't do much about it since I gotta pay $150 just to change my ticket departure, let's just hope for the best :D

I also got this email from 1 institution offering some sort of program for students who are interested in getting a job in Sydney, particularly in the IT industry. They would charge AUD$3000 for those students but they would also guarantee that they'll get a job (eventually). But no guarantee that they'll get a job within certain period tho.
Not sure if it's getting popular to have institutions like that, but I know Monash University in Melbourne also has such program that asks students for about $1500ish so that they'll find them a job :|
I personally don't think it's worth the money, especially there are so many agents (job agencies) that will take care of you (potential employee) and it's free of charge. But of coz there's no obligation for them to find you a job. But for those unemployed students that can't find a job easily, isn't that amount of money significant?
Anyway, if you are interested you can contact me hahaa coz in the email they say they'll give me $200 if I recommend 1 student to join their program :P hahaha

First exam... Down!

Just did my first exam... ehmm how was it? It was quite difficult. Even though the question itself is relatively OK but what made it difficult was the length of the question... Man, we were required to derive a function in 1 full page just for 4 marks out of 60 -___-"

Anyway, time to move onto the next one...

I just read a joke today, not sure if it was that funny but I laughed when I read it...

Child: "Mom, can I ask for few bucks coz I want to give it to the old lady that I just passed"
Mother: (thinking that she has a good child who thinks about the poor and the elders) "OK, here is 10 bucks for you. How old is she? Can't she still do a proper job?"
Child: "Sure, she's selling candies"
Mother: "errr -____-!!"

Is it funny? It's quite funny rite :P

Stuvac

Beginning of the exam period... gotta study all night long...
Just read and did past paper for my statistics subject... I think I underestimated this subject too..
I feel lost when I read the very brief notes called lecture notes ^^ hehe...
Well what can i do? read the textbook! -___-

Yesterday I also attended the supplementary lectures that my fav lecturer held in the stuvac week :S
He, as usual, explained very complicated material in an even more complicated way... we're totally lost >.< I could see the students went out the lect hall one by one hahahaha...

The most interesting part was that he asked us, "so what have you learnt so far from this subject?" and we're like thinking "we've learnt how to forgive, how to be patient, and how to pick a subject next time" LOL...
Normally the online evaluation for all subjects are still open during this time but my friend said this one is already closed... maybe it has reached the maximum number of feedbacks can be made :P
I was so tempted to ask him "Has the online evaluation survey for this subject been opened?" hahaha but I felt bad for him haha Yes I'm still a good student :D


OK, back to study...

Last lecture

Today is officially my last lecture day... even tho I will have another supplementary class next Monday coz the lecturer couldn't finish the last lecture...

I feel time really flies... I think this will be my last lecture in my whole life (unless I take another course... ummm which is a bit unlikely at this point). Having said that, I think i'd miss my school days though :( but I would never miss the exams period for sure hehe..

Took few pictures after the lecture with some friends who were taking the same class.. Would like to ask the lecturer to take pic with us but he was busy answering students' questions hehe... It was a bit dark as well so we couldn't get nice shots :( well some of them blamed me coz I didn't tell them if I'd bring a camera.. otherwise, they'd get ready for that -___- my gosh... I didn't even get ready myself :P It supposed to be CANDID my friends :P
I look really fat here eh :P well what can I do? :-( I was born with wide shoulders. It is an advantage for me tho coz I would be able to carry heavier bag longer than my friends with narrow shoulders wakaka LOL... :P

Well, will need to get more nice shots during the day... hehe maybe next week when we study together for the exams :P
Let's get more pics on Monday after the class -> don't blame me for not telling u, u should know now :P
