| Hermi n' My Bag |
| 10.03.06 (3:31 pm) [edit] |
Kemaren gue nganterin Hermione untuk ke kampus, urus legalisir ijasah&transkrip dia buat daftar CPNS. Senangnya kita bisa jalan ke kampus lagi, ketemu banyak orang. Pada nanyain gimana kegiatan kita berdua pasca lulus wisuda. Kalo Hermi sih, cuma bisa cengengesan malu mo ngejawab dia lagi ngaggur. Oh iya, sebelumnya dia mabit di kosan gue, satu malem gitu. Pas buka puasa, kita dinner di kedai steak, sambil blanja snack pas pulangnya. Selama di kamar, kita ngobroooool teruuuus... Mulai tentang si Beni, si Agung (cowo kosan lama yang SMS malem2 ke gue, katanya pengen 'nyambung silaturahmi'), job gue, pengalaman interview dia di Jakarta, telepon Taka, cuaca dingin Jatinangor, Jatinangor Town Square, hingga masalah sepakbola - kaya biasa. Dan 'Man of The Match' buat kita saat itu ialah Andrea Pirlo... thank you... thank you... Kita juga nonton match-nya Milan. Malemnya, gue lanjut nonton match-nya Madrid. N kayanya Hermi emang udah bener2 benci sama Chelsea deh, hihihi... soalnya pas tau hasil pertandingan kalo Chelsea kalah, dia malah bilang "Sukur! Sukur!". Hermi, Sheva matre ya?? Hehehehe, sabar... sabar...
Di jurusan ketemu banyak temen n adek kelas. Di perpus jurusan, ketemu Budi (dengan rambut yang baru pangkas, looking good)n Riska (kita sedikit bicara tentang Awi) n Menristek. Ketemu juga sama Wisnu 'Indonesian Idol' (FYI, dia itu temen seangkatan gue! Mantan pacarnya itu temen gue satu komplek, hihihi, suka nitip salam gitu Wisnu :). Seneng bisa liat Wisnu lagi mondar2i di kampus, sekarang tambah kurusan kamu... Dia share gitu ke kta kalo dia emang sibuk banget, cuma bisa ke Jatinangor Senin, Rabu, Jumat. Selebihinya: syuting. Dia ke kampus buat urus2 administrasi gitu deh... gue kira lu bakal berubah Nu, ternyata lo masih yang kaya dulu, yg cepet akrab ke orang gitu deh n' energik, hihihi...
Setelah bertemu sekian banyak kawan2 n spik2 sama mereka, klimaksnya gue n Hermione bisa ketemu Jody!!! Wuuuhuuuw!! Wuuaaaaaa!! Histeris tak berkesudahan... fuuuh...dan seperti biasa Hermi tidak bisa menahan eforianya +___X, huuuh...
OK, buat Hermi n Taka, kalo Harry Potter 5 dah rilis, kita moga2 bisa nonton lagi ya bareng2, hehehe... amin...
What's Up, Bag?
Pas kemaren gue lagi nganter Hermi sholat di musholla kampus, tiba2 terbersit ide untuk melakukan capturing isi tas. OK, isi tas gue kali ini adalah sebagai berikut:
1. Tas
Ini adalah tas yang gue peroleh dari stand-nya Flinders University pas pameran pendidikan di Hyatt Bandung beberapa bulan lalu karena gue dan Hermi (terlalu banyak) nanya2. Nih tas gue bawa kalo gue lagi 'sembarangan', misal: waktu gue ngampus, bimbingan skripsi (dulu), hangout sama temen, n urusan ngaji. Selebihnya, gue biasanya pake tas backpack or leather kalo gawe. Dan gue lebih suka tas2 dengan ukuran kagak mini, alias gede. Supaya bisa menampung barang2 bawaan gue.
2. Air Mineral
Kebetulan pas gue lagi kaga shaum. Aer mineral adalah bawaan wajip! Soalnya males aja gue kena penyakit/dehidrasi di tengah jalan berhubung gue sibuk dengan aktivitas ampe sore. Males aja beli2 aer di jalan...
3. Dompet
Dompet RipCurl ini adalah dompet pemberian adek gue. Sebenernya tuh dompet adalah hadiah temennya adek waktu adek gue ultah. Belinya di konter barang2 surfing. Lama2, dia bosen. Dia ganti selera ke dompet kulit. Akhirnya, nih barang dikasih ke gue deeh :) thx ya Bro. Isinya: $$$, KTP&IDs, kartu2 membership, kartu ASKES, kartu kredit, bekas2 bon blanja (yang seharusnya dibuang), n' foto gue (bareng Maksim!!! :DD )
4. Jaket
Berhubung udara di sini dingin banget kalo malem, n ga pengen aja gue kena sakit kalo keluar malem & keliatan ikhwan, jadinya gue biasanya bawa jaket kalo gue kira2 bakal pulang kemaleman. Itu adalah jaket DKM kampus gue, pas taon 2003. Itu masih dalam keadaan gue lipet. Ada bordiran konveksi "Khairunnisa" (nama ngaji gue) di bagian kanan bawah. Jaketnya bisa dipake bolak balik, warna luar item, warna dalemnya abu2.
5. The Black Book
Bawaan wajip juga kalo pergi ke mana2. Nih barang adalah buku agenda/jurnal gue. Karena inspirasi datangnya kapan saja , jadi sebelom tuh inspirasi ilang or gue lupa, gue biasanya nyempetin diri buat nulis. Kapan aja, di mana aja. Selaen buat nangkep inspirasi, nih buku biasanya buat tempat curhat, catetan2 kantor, bikin komik ga jelas,or tempat bikin coret2an/draft materi kalo gue mo ngasih LQ. Seandainya ga mau dibawa bawa, biasanya nih buku gue ganti sama beberapa kertas putih buat apa lagi kalo bukan buwat nuliiis...
6. Pulpen
Itu sebenernya pulpennya Hermione yang gue pinjem, karena gue pas lg lupa bawa pulpen -_-
7. Konci kosan
Keychain-nya oleh2 dari Singapura, berupa pembuka botol berbentuk telapak kaki bahan stainless steel. Tuh barang pernah ditaksir sama ibu kosan lama :).
8. Tissue
Buat bersiin wajah kalo keringetan or bersiin bibir kalo abis makan. Lumayan jg buat ngebersiin tangan yang kotor/debu2 di tempat duduk/bersiin papan tulis kalo LQ.
9. Lip conditioner
Unless bibir gue kering2 karena cuaca yang ekstrim...
10. Flashy
Buat nyimpen2 data or naro draft imel/posting blog dari kompi gue kalo ke warnet.
Tambahan:
11. Hape
Hapenya ga bisa ikut difoto di situ karena tuhfoto gue jepret pake hape itu sendiri, hehehe
Yang biasanya ada tapi sekarang kaga ada:
- Mushaf: karena gue lagi 'halangan', jadinya mushaf gue tinggal di kamar.
- Compact powder: kebetulan si Hermi saat itu lagi bawa compact, jadi bedak gue gue tinggal di kamar, jadi minta aja gitu ke dia.
- Payung: karena masi musim kemarau, payung gue tinggal biar ga berat2in tas.
Sorenya, gue ketemu adek2 binaan buat LQ (dan hari ini ada 'insiden', bikin gue ketar2i ampe gue curhat darurat ke temen, kayanya gue harus bicarain secepatnya ke MR gue :( )
Malemnya, dapet SMS dari sobat. Tuh bocah lagi ga fit badannya. Ga bisa tarawih kaya biasanya. Pas shubuh dia sih kirim SMS, panik gitu kalo dia kebablasan sahur, alias gak sahur (gue sih dah sering kaya begitu, hihi, tapi ga panik2 amat). Padahal dia kan gila2an kalo sahur, porsinya bisa 3x porsi gue!!! Dari kronologi ini, gue kasi asumsi dia masuk angin. Paling dia gue kasi advis kudu banyak istirahat, banyak minum yang anget2, n ngurangin minum es (karena belakangan ketahuan kalo dia punya masalah gangguan pernafasan). Moga cepet sembuh ya sahabatku :)... Jangan mikir yang aneh2 yaa...

| Dear Akram, |
| 09.28.06 (1:36 pm) [edit] |
Assalaamu'alaikum...
Dear my brother in deen, Akram,
I don't know what in my mind. I was just lying on my bed, thinking about what blog's next post would be. Then suddenly I got your figure in my mind. I think I need to write some to you here to tell you how I am here, miles away apart from you.
Just like writing diary, I need you to know how I am now: 'miserable'. Hehehe... I mean I am very exhausted too, like you are :I. I've got my job as an English teacher in a reputable English course. I teach teenagers and private business conversation class. My boss gives me a co-teacher, she is a native from Hungary :) . About my Boss, this person is very kind, open, and friendly to me. A good listener, and Boss able to speak Japanese besides English. I just do not want to dissapoint you, Boss :) (I put uppercase to respect :). I'll keep improving myself.
I have to work there six hours a week, with salary per hour. This is an excellent job, but it actually tiring because I have my office quite far from my place (it needs about 45' to reach there by public transportation and sometimes I get home late at night, I'm burnt out ). Not great salary I receive, but I am proud of it because finally I can make money by my own (though I had no experience at all inEnglish teaching before) and I can get experience in doing this.
And my life is just getting... bit complicated because now I have to face some 'problem' with my bestfriends. About misunderstanding, future plan, and also sense of belonging and sense of loosing because one by one has to leave from my sight. I shouldn't tell you more, because it is complex and beyond control... I'm on the crossroad. I dunno... Just wish me luck to deal them.
Akram, are you still in touch with my friend via e-mail? What did you talk about?? C'mon... hide nothing from me. Well, hmmm, sometimes when I see your picture I saved on my own server, I just think that you are obviously 'angel sent from above', hehehe... you know what I mean, huh? Hehehe... Are you going to send me another pic? Hehehe... My mom&dad and some friends have seen you picture, hehehe. They do adore you by performance, a lot, hehehehe. Btw, thanks for your comments you left on my blogs. And sorry that there is someone who wrote something in Arabic words to 'offense' you a little, hehehe. I even do not understand what he wrote... Just ignore it
How's your fasting? I hope you keep busy with reading the Quran, praying, doing tarawih, curbing your emotion&anger, making zakat, qiyamul lail, etc.
How about your holiday plan? Are you going to visit your family in Tunis or keeping yourself in Paris? Waiting for your stories. Tunisia must be an exotic country... I wish someday I can go there too...hehehe, daydreamer :P...
I think I will go back to Jakarta to visit my family about a week before the Mubarak Ied. We will also visit other families in towns as usual.
OK, thanks for your time...
Deep ukhuwah,
Dita
PS: I would like to reply your poetry with poetry too, :DD. From Boyzone, it is "Shooting Star"
No one seems to think too much of me here,
and they're glad to tell it to my face,
And they're right I'm not supposed to be here,
I'm completely out of place.
Somehow there has got to be a reason,
evenings as I try to think it through,
There's a bolt from the blue,
And I see a shooting star
Set apart from all the rest
While the other stars are standing still
He's on a quest
Every night this shooting star
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in
and he's longing to know why, why
I feel so much better when it's night-time
That's when I can sort of disappear
When the sun is setting it's the right time
for pretending I'm not here
Sometimes I just stare into the heavens
Wondering if the answer is inside
That's when I see the light
Of my sent that shooting star
On his way to who knows where
He's the one like all the stars
But he outshines up there
And the solitary star
Is an awful lot like me
On an endless search through time and space
For a place that won't seem wrong
If we both hang on for long enough
we both somehow are strong enough
We'll find out were we belong

| my (side) job now |
| 09.18.06 (11:13 am) [edit] |
(Sambil mendengarkan lagu The Scientist-nya
Coldplay, mungkin atas permintaan
seseorang...)
Kemaren2 gue SMS Intan yang baru nyampe
Bandung, kalo gue juga pingin nitip salam buat
Sheva. Dengan segera, Intan membalas SMS itu
dengan:
"Jangan nitip salam buat dia! Cowok itu
sudah membelot dengan cara menyakitkan :-[!"
Hwaaa, huhuhuhu hehehehehehe, Intan lagi
cekcok ama Shevaaaaa... Tan, gue bisa bantu apa dong?! Tan, lu ga cerita kenapa. Gara2 dia pindah ke
Chelsea n membuat Milanisti mencak2 kemaren?
Hehehehe, relakanlah Tan, lagian kalo ke
Chelsea, mungkin B. Inggris dia bisa jadi
lebih baik... Ayolah, demi kebaikan kita juga kan, heeeeeeehehehehe... Btw, I'll be missing you so
much, Sis...karna lu harus balik ke kampung
selama semingguan...Eh, gue tetap menunggu oleh2
dari Mesir! Lu ga ada pulsa ya? Kesiaaaan de lu...
Intaaan, tadi gue udah typing ttg F & A di mari, tp karena masukan someone, jadinya ga jadiii deeeeh '_', bolak balik nih...
Alright, sekarang gue dah punya (side) job
juga: ngajar bahasa Inggris di salah satu
tempat kursus di Buah Batu. Hmmm, dah sukur2
gue diterima, eh... malah ada yang jadi
sewot... entahlah... Waktu gue cerita ke Intan
mulai dari tes tertulis, TOEFL, ngajar,
writing, ampe interview n dibilang gue
diterima, gue ngerasa gak percaya aja. N
biasa, gelagat Intan: ngomel2 kalo gue ga
boleh minder n kudu PD. Kasusnya kaya waktu
soft launching novel gue kali yaaa, hehehe...
itu mah failure to launch kali, hihihi...
Eeee, iya, kemaren2 juga ketemu Putri di sebuah cybercafe, dia
nanyain apakah ada sekuel buat novel
gue?
P: Teh, ada rencana buat TCR kedua nggak?
D: (nyengir, celingukan ke orang2 yang
memperhatikan kami, dan akhirnya menjawab)
nampaknya lagi mau nyari maisyah dulu nih,
heheheh
Sebenernya, banyak sekali yang mau gue jelasin
ke Putri, tapi karena situasi yang kemaren
ketemuan begitu, jadi sulit untuk
bicara lebih dalem. Ok, buat yang ingin
menanyakan kelanjutan TCR, ini jawaban
gue:
tentang TCR2, well, dengan amat berat hati
saya juga gak bisa memastikan apakah akan ada
atau tidak. Gagasan untuk TCR2 itu selalu ada
semenjak TCR edar. Saya dan tim manajemen,
tapi lebih banyak saya pribadi, selalu
memikirkan hal ini. TCR sudah edar pun saya
masih dimarah-marahi sama PR karena masalah
hak cipta&distribusi :)...Memang amat terbuka
kemungkinan TCR secara substansi mengalami
pelanjutan, bahkan di otak saya udah ada
frame2 skenarionya, mungkin di sini saya tidak
perlu bercerita terlalu banyak, soalnya nanti
malah jadi nulis cerita :) . Namun, karena
banyak hal, terutama karena alasan pribadi
saya sendiri dikarenakan faktor situasi dan
kondisi yang tidak menunjang, yang namanya
"TCR2" kelihatannya tidak bakal terealisasi...
Hingga saat ini, dari saya pribadi pun belum
melakukan riset maupun penulisan untuk TCR2.
Saya mengerti bagaimana kawan2 masih curious
sama kisah berikutnya, tapi, percayalah, kisah
TCR sudah berakhir hitam di atas putih seperti
itu, dan saya harap teman2 nggak perlu terlalu
kecewa karena ending yang sudah ada saya pikir
menjadi penutup yang membahagiakan dan
mencerdaskan buat kita semua. Thank you
:)"
Sementara, jika ada yang nanya tentang novel
lain yang mungkin bakal tayang:
"Sejujurnya ini adalah pertanyaan yang amat
berat buat saya pribadi. 4 hingga 5 ide novel
memang sudah ada di kepala saya dan pernah
saya utarakan ke orang2 terdekat, sampai2 saya
juga kewalahan menanggapi berbagai masukan.
Trus, bingung juga karena pinginnya kesemua
ide itu bisa rampung semua dalam waktu yang
gak berjauhan-yang artinya harus 4-5x ekstra kerja rodi :), walopun manajemen cuma minta 1. Tapi, lagi2 terbentur sama kondisi yang tidak memungkinkan yaitu keterbatasan waktu dan kesempatan riset, berhubung saat itu dan juga saat ini saya sedang fokus ke hal di luar novel. Ditambah manajemen belum bisa ngurusin saya lagi, walopun ada yang ingin TCR ini di-link ke Universal Studios atau New Line-gila saya pikir. Jadinya, ide2 yang banyak tadi mental lagi, nguap lagi, menunggu kejelasan... Jadi, tentang novel selanjutnya setelah TCR ini, ... just wait and see :)"

| I'm Back with Pics |
| 08.31.06 (8:14 pm) [edit] |
Finally my monitor fixed up... I can do my daily routine to work with my PC (doing what? nothing actually...).
Hmmm, for about a week I went home to Jakarta to look how my house renovated. Doors, kitchen, bathroom, ceilings, upstairs, etc finally redone in almost 2 months. They’re furnished, repainted, retiled, redecorated with downlight lamps, etc. And the concept seems to be modern-ethnic (but still I am asking for a new couch to be placed in front of the TV :P !!!). I met my ‘lil brothers too, we spent much time in our house to watch TV and get busy with dad’s laptop. Oh Lord, its game bloody vintage, its files bloody boring (files of all his work!). But my brother has put much wallpapers and music on it, they’re installed from his flashdisk. Enjoy it Dad, it much enlightens huh?!
To Meet Hermione
Today I went to Hermione’s place. It’s her turn now to move to another boarding house. And I found out my job clearly: helping her physically. Bit tiring, but it’s fine bcos I can meet her. We had much discussion on lunch. It started with Putri Indonesia beauty pageant, then the conversation getting longer when we talked about job opportunities and football ^_^! Always on football! We bind up in this.
Even the waiter seemed to spy around on what we’re talking about, huehehehe! Sorry, we made that noise like crazy, but we did not annoy anybody but him because we’re only guests there at the moment.
Well, I said to her that I wished Mr. Alex Ferguson soon would be replaced by Eric Cantona (yes, MU fans heard the rumour, r8?). She agreed (thx u Hermi ^-^…). Then we talked about coaches like Domenech that she adores, Mourinho, Wenger (she adores this man too), etc. Then I got very surprised to hear her confession that she also admired Klinsi’s successor: Joachim Löw! OMG… OMG… Hermione, what have u done?!?! I surprised, I laughed, I chuckled, I didn’t know what’s on her mind :DDD. See, finally you respect der Mannschaft!
D: Hermione, listen, u have to know that he (Löw) is six years older than Klinsi (I feel ‘better’, doh =_-…).
H: Oh ya? I just like him. On German Team, I like Löw (c’mon…), Schwensteiger, and Frings…
D: Yeah, versus Italy, German lost without Frings…
She’s very happy because EPL now coming. Yeah, everyone knows that this girl fond of Shevchenko. And now we think Italy League is not that interesting anymore, due to the scandals. We also reviewed that big club with superplayers - like Chelsea and Real Madrid - only wasted their stars. We mean those clubs run inefficiently. They may win the league, but they couldn’t develop their players entirely and personally. Only developed players, no developing players. The personification of this case is just like… mmm…we mentioned like beauty pageant (again, emotionally… and we even mentioned names here, hehehehe), in some case the contestant very beautiful, but she has no brain or she answers not to the core…viewers sure she’snt going to win (within the criteria of ‘brain’)… but juries decide she’s the winner -_- (with much interest inside. Then viewers get realized that this is institutional event, not national…they’re cheated at last :P ). So, it’s obviously ‘don’t’ judge a book by its cover’… don’t judge a team by its stars…
Got Pics
These some of pics I capture from my VGA cellphone, for kicks, on August. Click to see the larger version (though VGA doesn’t work as well as megapixel cam.)
 Those are children on the block near my previous boarding house. They like to play hide and seek and ‘stone bowling’ (piling 5-7 stones up, then they strike them with ball as if they played real bowling. Good idea…).
 This is the scenery from the 2nd floor of my ex-boarding house, still with my VGA cellphone. It’s about 4.30 pm. I’d like to stand and watched the sky from there which quiet, cool, and serene.
 Please introduce, Oméng.
Gender: male.
Location: my residence in Jakarta.
Age: 5-6 y.o.
Color: black and grey with jaguar motive, white fur on his nose, neck and palms.
Hobbies: hunting for mice, arranging clash with strange cats (he’s the boss there), noticing his area with pee -____- , sleeping at the top of washing machine/ refrigerator.
Other info: actually he belongs to our neighbor but he often visits our house. My brother and I saved this cat when he was dying at the attic (we did not know what happened to him. He looked so sick, skinny, weak and seemed to suffer from cold. No scar or injury, but we thought he’d just had some fight with another cat and he got sick). His coming is recognized with harsh voice. Mom n dad quite like him and even forbid other cats to come. Sometimes he’s smelly X_____X . ,
 Well well well, look ‘what’s’ here… Giant ‘statue’ of Mauro Camoranesi, about 9-10 feet tall (the statue around 6-7 feet, the stage around 3 feet). This ‘thing’ was made by the people who lived near Taka’s place to commemorate the 61st anniversary of Indonesia’s Independence Day (r u kidding?!). OK, the text below his feet is a wish for better football achievement in this country.
Taka thought it was the figure of Andrea Pirlo. But she wrong. When we moved closer to read something written under his feet, oh… it is ‘Camoranesi’. It is Camoranesi?!?!?!
When Taka showed me this ‘creature’, I stunned… funny … and scared. People there must be huge fans of Italy… (Taka & I argued that it should have been Zidane because he’s the best players of the WC ’06 :’( ) but…when the result going like this, it’d be better off Camoranesi.Hehehehehe!
While last year the people made a giant statue of rat-headed man wearing blue tuxedo while ‘his’ feet chained to a cannonball, that figure needed to remind us much on corruptors living in this country and they must be sentenced.

Finally I can make a post. I typed this on my friend's PC, she's sleeping now. While I can not work with my own PC bcoz its monitor is being repaired :(.
I am still busy with my goodies and packs bcause this August I must move from this boarding house... Hmmm,things seem to change a lot bcoz I have to leave this cozy place (the landlady only accepts annual payment and I guess I'm not going to stay here one more year and I've found another place rent for some months). I have to leave the girls :(... The cats (hehehe...)... I'll be missing u all...
I'll still be living here in Jatinangor for some months. Less comfortable than the previous, my new place provides no TV, no refrigerator, and it's building for entire: boys and girls...
I'll be on the 2nd floor where girls only. It'll be open air outside my room, and I'd love the nice flowing wind. I could hear and see children studying english because it's next to the english learning centre.
But still I'm bit frustrated because my room gives me 'emptiness': no bed, no bathroom, no desk, just floor, walls, ceiling, door, and window. Damn... This is ridiculous! OK, Ok I guess it's not a big problem because I was in urgency to choose that place. I might move next month :P.If I get some job in Bandung, perhaps I'll move to Bandung like my friends. But I need some time to concentrate for the admission test of government's Department of Int'l Affairs this October so I wouldn't apply for any vacancies these months (except if there some that more interesting).
Then yesterday I and Taka went to Bandung Supermall. Well, we're just doing window shopping. Stuffs were cute and unaffordable. Nice smells of foods made us confused (though finally we kept choosing our fav. resto for lunch). But we got excellent perfumes of latest Cartier, Aigner, CK, and Nina Ricci testers sprayed to us ^-^ (btW, this not endorsement)... She also treated me a ticket to ride rollercoaster too. I couldn't refuse coz she badly wanted it and never experienced that amusement b4. And oh my God... that rollercoaster was insanity at all! We're just scared to death bcos of its bloody twisting rail!!!_< After the ride, we remained stunned for some hour. We became anxious to use ecalator. At last we're very proud (and lucky we still alive '_') coz we've just passed the fear factor :DDD.
It's nice to be with her again. She's just returned from Tulungagung and been cured fom typhus. And she said that she would straightly go back to Tulungagung if she's done with all campus' administration and revising her thesis. Yeah it seems to be so rushed, I thought she would be here for some month for healing the stress or just enjoying the city... And she told me that it was all of her mother's request to have her daughter home as soon a possible because there's vacancy for her to work in local TV station... I couldn't say anything, further she's dependent to her conservative family.>
And I dunno what happens recently. I mean, I'm wondering why friends always ask me when I will get married -_- I came to my campus few days ago, and they asked me lot about that. Even some might make foolish gossip that 'Dita is being close to someone and they're about going to marry'. Crazy! When I visited mosque to pray, another friend asked me not to forget to invite her on the wedding. Get a life! The gossip seems to be too much! I felt like I wanted to scream or arrange kind of press conference to clarify that those gossip are extremely wrong! How come they say that?! They even couldn't name who 'the man' . I am single!
Then I came to 'liqo' last Friday, my murabbiyah also asked me for 'the proposal' becoz (I think) she's going to search for 'qualified candidate' (or she's aready had the one? '_0). That was the second time she put me on the same topic. Hmmm, I could only smile why she couldn't stop thinking on that. Why me? Why doesn't she ask others? I think I am not going to give 'the proposal' to her this time. I'm just looking for the right time to do that design for life while preparing myself. And I met Akh Salman last nite, he told me that it needed a strong determination to do that (he's married though he's still a college student and he keeps pushing me to get married '_- )
Well, Ramadhan is going to come...
Is the war going to end for that holy month?...
Allahumma baariklana fii Rajaba wa Sya'ban wa balilna Ramadhan...

| 07.26.06 (8:58 am) [edit] |
It’s 11.45 pm and I’ve just revised my thesis.
Taka still in Tulungagung, she sent me SMS this afternoon telling that she’s just suffering from typhus. She suspected that she had dengue fever too, but the laboratory test showed nil viruses. Finally u do not have to enter the hospital. Be good, Gal, so we can hang out and have some PH dishes again, hmmm :P .
While Mini is having her leisure in her hometown, Bangka, to meet her family. Perhaps she returns early August. My boarding house becomes quiet(er) bcos everybody going home.
Ok, this week I am busy to pursue my lecturers for thesis’ finishing touch, and today it’s done. Fuuuh, finally I can breathe easy…
Then what for the next destination? Postgraduate program I’m thinking about! And it must be going abroad. I and Hermione went to Hyatt Regency Bandung looking for some info about it. Hyatt was arranging Australian education exhibition, several universities and scholarship had their opportunities to introduce themselves. We went to each of stands, picked some brochures and got bags (becoz we’re ‘talkative’) and snooped to people consulting to the staffs. Those stands: Flinders Univ., RMIT, IDP, Univ. of New South Wales, Bank of Commonwealth, Charles Darwin Univ.,etc. And finally Monash Univ. that we’re interested in.
Well, at first we just dropping by and listening to what the staff said (to other people). We read the guide book, and we found that Monash is two thumbs up for Int’l Relations (IR) postgraduate study. There are a lot of IR-related courses!
Hermi and I often smiled to each other… to show that “well, this is what we are looking for”. Taking a deep breath, we asked the staff (I forgot her name, a native) for some explanation. We asked her that we need further info about Master of IR or Master of Art program, but we guessed she did not get it bcoz she explained about Master of Int’l Business instead (oh no, we do not need it!!! To us, that’s crap, hehehehe!). K, perhaps she underestimated us, girls with veils hehehe, perhaps she thought that we could not talk much on politics (u’re wrong, Mam… we’ve studied politics, politics, and politics for four years! We’re politician, hehehe! Take that!). Then I told her once again that we were actually looking for Master of Art/IR.
Then she asked another staff, a native man who knew much about the program. The conversation began, and we went to the core that the subject we’re more interested in is Master of Counter-Terorism! He seemed to be shocked (hehehe, girls in veil asking about terrorism, hehehehe, we’re not terrorists Sir!). Then he explained about the program. We forgot his last name; we just remember that his firstname is Alan. Well, I talked the most to deliver Hermi’s question from Bahasa to English.
Master of Counter-Terrorism:
Campus on Clayton.
Mode of study: coursework.
Duration: 1,5 years.
Annual fee: $19.500.
Intake: March/July
We had dinner at Italian resto with the topics of every conversation: “Monash-Monash-Monash. Excellent. If we’re too afraid of Monash in Melbourne, we can go to Monash in Malaysia. And we know that he (Alan) bloody surprised when we asked about that Terrorist stuff”. Talking about the major, we now think that Master of Art/IR just … too wide subject, not detailed. Besides, I am fascinated in German Studies (ehem… ehem… ) and Slavic Studies (related to my thesis bout Yugoslavia). Hermi also interested in Slavic Studies (because it also concerns about Ukraine - Hermi, come on we’re not talking about Shevchenko, r8 -_- ?!?!) and Korean Studies (we’re not talking about its cinemas, r8 -___- ?!).
