Well, here we come to the end of 2008!

Actually, I really don’t know what to write right now. This semester I didn’t wrote as much as before (am I busy?). Well, just because this is the end of this year, I push myself to write here, at least for a short flashback. Ok, let me try to remember.

• January - Finally I moved to Singapore to read computer science in NTU. Luckily, I had a short opportunity to talk seriously with someone before my flight and the conversation was very important for the entire year indeed.
• February - Nothing so special, I just remember two things. The first is I was chosen to be PINTU’s main committee in media information division and the second is a Singaporean movie named “The Leap Year” which I watched exactly on the leap day.
• March - I only remember that in March I was quite busy with my study while I try to train some students in SMAK 1 BPK PENABUR Bandung facing OSK 2008. Oh ya, that was my birthday when someone did international phone call, hehe…
• April - First exam in NTU! Thanks God, the results are fairly good.
• May - I came back to Indonesia, really miss someone! I remember spent sometimes in May to train some students in SMAK 1 BPK PENABUR Bandung facing OSP 2008.
• June - Vacation! You can see that I posted nothing in this month, hehe…
• July - A month full of travelling. I went to Purwakarta (visiting my mom’s family), Pangandaran (youth camp by my church) and Toba Lake (national computing training).
• August - The long vacation ended as I went to Makassar as informatics olympiad committee. For TOKI, this month was also special since after a very long time, TOKI grabbed another gold medal!
• September - My first month doing research (URECA) and joining KTB (Eng. Small Christian Group).
• October - An ordinary month with extraordinary absences (lol).
• November - Exam again! Was very busy catching up the material since I missed a lot of classes. And not surprisingly, the results shift down my cumulative GPA (luckily it was only about 0.05 out of 5).
• December - Full with ICPC preparation, although the result was not as good as I predicted (however, I can try again next year). Of course, I came back to Indonesia (sadly this vacation is only 3 weeks long).

Hmm, since I wrote a kind of resolution in the beginning of this year, here I try to review those points:

1. Last year I still wore a white-gray uniform in my senior high school, but in 2008 no more senior high, just university. Yup, soon I’ll go to Singapore pursuit my undergraduate program, I hope it will be nice and useful for me.  New faces, new people, new culture, new system will face me. I have to adapt and be a better achiever there (moreover I have to keep my results so that I won’t lose my ASEAN Scholarship). >> Quite success, I think.
2. In financial perspective, I want to try not to use my parents money anymore, I’ll start to buy and pay everything by myself. Since I got ASEAN Scholarships, I think it’s possible (moreover I can try part-time work in my spare time). >> Quite success as well, I can survive with my own money without doing part-time job.
3. I have to try to be a more punctual person since I realize that I didn’t do very well before, hehe… >> Haha… It’s difficult to say whether I did a positive change or not.
4. I have been single for about 4 years, hehe… Until this post published still don’t know about “something”, but I think in 2008 everything will be clearer. >> Something really clearer, thanks God, though it is not official yet. There will be a proper time for everything.
5. Hmm, computing achievements, my target in 2008 is to get the ticket for ICPC World Final and also I want to try to compete in TopCoder (for now, my target is yellow upper in algorithm), hehe… >> Really bad on these targets since I didn’t get the World Final ticket and also my rating is still blue in TopCoder.

Ok, I think that’s all for now. I’ll try to write some resolutions for 2009. Thanks to read this. Happy New Year! Hope you also have beautiful memories of 2008 and your plan for 2009 will works nicely. God Bless You.

Today is the 1st anniversary of this blog!  Time is running so fast, here I am with this blog after 1 year. FYI, this post is my 169th. Hope you enjoy keep your eyes on this blog, I will try my best to keep improving the contents  of this blog.

Happy birthday… Happy birthday… Happy birthday to me…

Hehe… Thanks a lot to all of you who remember this-maybe-special-day. Most of all, thanks to someone who have an international phone at zero hours. I was surprised, I thought you’ll just send me a message, hehe… Thanks to Belva, Dilla, Nia as well who have accompanied me through the midnight in tutorial room (thanks for the video). Thanks to Wina and Eyin, a phone call woke me up this morning mentioning a packet and I exactly knew he isn’t courier! Thanks to Krishna, my room-mate, I didn’t think you’ll remember my birthday (I only told you once). Thanks also for Ivanna, is it a real card or edited one? Last but not least, thanks to my family (my dad’s message is right at zero hours, it’s a coincidence, hehe…).

Well, this is my last year in “teen” age (seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, hehe…) and hope this age will be one of my best time.

Some resolution for my 19th age: URECA, GPA>4.5, Yellow Rate TC, ICPC Regional Winner. (Amin)

Happy Leap Day!

Such a nice movie….

For someone there, happy birthday, wish a nice age for you, God bless you… Glad to hear your voice last night…

Welcome 2008! Hopefully this will be another good year or even better than before…

I don’t say it’s resolution or plan or something like that, just things in my head now about this year:

1. Last year I still wore a white-gray uniform in my senior high school, but in 2008 no more senior high, just university. Yup, soon I’ll go to Singapore pursuit my undergraduate program, I hope it will be nice and useful for me.  New faces, new people, new culture, new system will face me.
