Facebook Virus!

It's 2 more days to my very 1st final exam... I'm still not fully confident yet. I gotta do my best in 2 days! Bad news is, I have just received last Monday's 2nd Mid Term result. It's unexpectedly not very good for me! I'm so sure there will be maximum 2 mistakes, but it turns out that I have 3 mistakes! Argh.. On the other hand, my lab result is quite impressive with 2 'A's and 1 'B'. Hahaha...

Yesterday, I just had my English for Academic Purposes final test (well, since it doesn't affect my CAP, I don't worry too much about it). As expected, grammar editing and text reading are quite easy. However, I still had a problem in writing essay. I am really not satisfied with the result when I proofread it. But, still, there was no much time left, so I just did my best to improve it.

That afternoon, I took a break and decided to create our class' facebook group. I uploaded some pictures and a video. Without my knowing, it suddenly became hot! Comments and comments kept coming in. After dinner, I then made a photo album and uploaded some photos. Unbelievably, it became a chain reaction. Others started to upload more and more photos. They started tagging and left comments. I decided to switch off my MacBook before it was too late.

The next day, which is today, I found there are 99 notifications in my Facebook. I supposed these people in NTU are too happy about finishing their exam. Yeah, good for them. I need to work hard myself. It's only a week left!

So... I think this is the last post before exam. Wish me luck!

Birthday, Birthday, BIRTHDAY!

First, I would like to congratulate Sandoko for his passing the selection for APhO. I know you can do it. Great man! You have proved yourself to the world.

Back on topic, this week is sure a special week. I have a bunch of my friends celebrating their birthdays. The first one is Nadia on 4 November. We actually celebrated her birthday earlier than schedule since we could not go and visit her on the D-Day. We went to her house 2 days earlier and gave her her birthday present. Next is Tiffany. Well, she is at Medan so I just sent her a message. Today, it is Micheal's birthday. He is our senior in NUS. He is one of the most active person among Indonesian. Almost every Indonesian know him. We all celebrated his birthday last night exactly on 12 a.m.

For the main event, we celebrated another two friends' birthday today. They are Kelvin and Theresia. Their birthday supposed to be tomorrow. However, again, weekdays are busy days for us. For our surprise, Budianda is here in Singapore! He just arrived today and came to NUS. He is with his sister. Since they were here, they joined us to celebrate their birthday. So, tonight, we had dinner at KEVII Dining Hall. We first planned just to celebrate it here. Unfortunately, there were two of our friends from NTU coming here (they were late!) while Budi and his sister had to leave early, we decided just to have dinner first and took some photos.

=They are here! Budi and his sister=

=KEVII Dining Hall=

Finally, Aristo and Eric had arrived. Aristo was quite annoying since he was really really hungry. Thus, we went straight to the Foodgle Hub (PGPR canteen) and started the celebration.

=Blowing the candle (since budget is limited, they have share the cake =.= )=

=Taken using self-timer, the result is not really good=

=The annoying starving "Acek" Aristo=

Last but not least, a special message from Kelvin Anggara!


=P.S. "lu" refer to Ms. Caterine=

After that, those who were not NUS students went back to their respective "home". That's all for the day!

It's the same! What should I write then?

Well, actually, many events I attend are also attended by Kelvin. Thus, he has written all I need to say. Hahaha. Anyway, I'll write it in my point of view. Since I didn't take any photos, you can just visit Kelvin' blog.

Again, final exam is drawing near! It's exactly 17 days till my first exam. Fortunately, I'm catching up! I think I can start reviewing next week.

Last Wednesday, Esther came to NUS. She was with her mother and grandmother at NUH. Since she was here and I was free, I took her to look around NUS. Unfortunately, it was raining. There is no much for her to see. The next night, Kelvin, Lewis, and I went for the concert at Yong Seow Toh Conservatory of Music for the very first time. As I've seen in Budianda's blog, the concert hall is unbelievably cool. But, wait until the concert started. They played extremely good. I held my breath and felt the music ran through my body (too exagerrating). Anyway, it was wonderful.

As for today, Kelvin and I went to the conference organized by Microsoft with NUS, NTU, and A Star. It's called Computing for 21st Century. There were 3 Turing Award (Nobel Prize for Computing) winner came there to give a talk. Actually, after that I went to somewhere for special mission, so: to be continued!
