the first week

it has been a pretty busy week for me. i've had my university orientation two weeks ago, precisely 16-20th August, then start classes the day after.

the orientation was actually a festival (UPH Fest 15), and we had to attend seminars of distinguished speakers two consecutive days before the festival ended.. one seminar inspired me, which is dr eka's. he showed us a recorded movie of him operating someone suffering from tumor in his/her brain stem if i'm not mistaken..

soo we've had a few assignments so far, including epi assignment and prof david's assignment (writing down what we have been doing today and tomorrow) writing a 300 word composition on what is learning.. i guess that's it..

 

sooo i'm kinda pissed with my msn messenger in my new laptop from uph.. i wasn't able to chat using the "proper" msn msgr since i got this laptop. i had to use ebuddy for now until someone fixes whatever is wrong with the messenger..

currently tired after finishing off my group's presentation on epi assignment, which i finished at about 5 or so..

 

okay then.. i think i'll call it a day..

being a doctor

Yesterday, my mom's friend lend me a dvd series of a Korean movie titled "New Heart" about doctors (cardio & internists). I wasn't that eager to watch at first, but I don't know, maybe I was curious, so I watched it. After a few episodes, I became addicted to the movie and wasn't able to stop watching (except when my mom was angry because I was watching when the whole family was eating dinner together). So I had to stop for probably half an hour, then continued to watch the dvd.

 

However, I had to miss 2 episodes of Friends because my sister didn't plug in the kabelvision decoder (it has to be plugged in the electric socket at the back of the tv and it was hard to do it by myself). Then I had to miss one episode of Ugly Betty (there's a replay so I don't have to worry, but I don't know when T.T). After a while, I thought, why not try to plug in the decoder by myself even though it's kind of hard and I'll be in sweat at around 10pm. Okay, so I tried to move the tv slowly without pulling the dvd player's cable but arrghh maybe I pulled the tv too much, that the dvd player turned off. I was soo pissed.

 

But then, came the "happy" part, I was able to switch between kabelvision and dvd player and I was able to watch Las Vegas (Josh Duhamel showed up when I switched to kabelvision and I was very very happy) hahaha. Afterwards, I continued to watch the movie.

 

Okay, I wasn't that interested at the male intern (Li En Chen --> role name) but after a couple of times (actually many times) of watching him, he does seem cute (a little bit). And the actor who had to be taken care of at the hospital (role name Li Dong Quan if I'm not mistaken) was kind of cute, but he wasn't at first (hahaha).

 

Oh my gosh, the operations was cool! They showed a few "live surgeries", but some, they just showed when they cut the body. That was my first time watching a "live surgery" in movies because I never saw a real one. It was so cool! I mean the heart was beating, the doctors had to "operate" on it, and one time a doctor had to stitch a heart when it was beating (it was very hard compared when it isn't beating). In some cases, they had to massage the heart to make it beat again. For those interested into surgery, you have to watch this. I'm actually trying to find a movie, the entire movie with surgeries. Any suggestions? I prefer not a serial movie because I rather sit back and enjoy one full movie rather than getting up again and again to change the disc.

 

I did learn new medical vocabularies. One I remember the most is "Arteriovenous fistula". The patient suffers pain on his back (according to the movie). It was kind of bizarre in the movie. I'm guessing it involves artery & vena. For fistula, I have no guesses.

 

Another one, demerol, is a pain killer, but isn't recommended to the patient suffering Arteriovenous fistula. Instead, they only allow simple pain killer they didn't mention the name.

But all are still one. Are we?

pissed

okay, so i realized it's been a long time since i post one.. so here it is..

 

i've been doing okay, nothing special and it's been one month since i worked in my dad's office. i'm really hoping that time would fly coz i've had enough "holiday" -in fact more than enough- i mean imagine 8 months!! right, at first i thought, 'well, it wouldn't hurt'. yes, it doesn't hurt, but it's BORING (let me emphasize that B-O-R-I-N-G).

 

oh yeah, one thing pissed me. it's about TiKi (yeah, that well-known courier service). so i was sending a package to someone in Aceh. the agent in Intercon accepted it (it was on 17th June) so then i expected that the person i'm sending the packge to would receive it max a week after. instead, that person sms-ed me telling that he/she have not receive the package yet. wow, it did surprised me. i tried to trace it back to TiKi (called them) and they said a woman named Lia has received the package. after i checked with that person, no one there had the name "Lia". i called tiki in Aceh and they said the package was returned to Jakarta. they weren't able to reach the destined address coz it was located in the border of aceh and somewhere -i forgot-. i called TiKi Jakarta again, and they said it was not Lia in Aceh, but Lia in the return address. in fact, the return address wasn't even correct! and unfortunately, the person in charge of returns was not available that time, so i had to call them back the next day. and after a few calls, i did get the returned package -at last- but i'm still pissed coz they didn't return the money that i paid to send the package.

 

i mean they accepted the package meaning they are able to send it.

 

gosshh!! i mean TIKI.. i'm now very pissed at them.. but it's like the only courier service in the radius of about 1 km of my house..? hahaha but this was the second time. the first time was about -i forgot- haha soo there it is..

okayy so that's a bit of promotion hahaha

fine fine

okay, i admit it, it's almost 3 weeks since my last post.. i was busy lately coz i kinda had to subs for my dad in his office (just for a few jobs). his auntie passed away about two weeks ago, and i had to organize a few things including my university admission and others (a bit private =P )

 

sooo.. last tuesday i attended sph graduation (my friends' graduation), i met many friends and i had the chance to talk to a few of 'em.. there i met my former teachers (ibu frida, ibu mona and ibu jumi) actually i met ibu jumi first but we didn't talk much coz she was kinda in a hurry.. she seemed surprised to see me (neither do i) hahaha sooo the story goes on and on..

 

i think this is not the best place for me to congratulate my sister, but anyways.. congratz sis for graduating year 10 =) and congrats for the awards as well.. she got 6 awards btw, for math, science, bhs indo andd emmm.. i forgot the rest *haha*

 

soooo.. i'm posting another one.. for promotion ahhaha

no title

alright, so how long has it been? probably a week or less, is it..? anyways, it has been quite a tough week for me. besides that i've had a cold last friday (which is why i didn't make it to work), i've been quite busy updating my "small business" website.. i had to coz the prices keeps on changing (for silver)..

 

i just want to wish my sister (cousin actually, in case she's reading this) Imelda a happy birthday! may all ur wishes come true (if it doesn't, just wait for the time to come, if it's the right way for u, it'll come true). and one more important thing, i'm (WE actually) waiting for another member of the Huang family, so when is it gonna be sis? hehehehe i'll be waiting for the news =)

 

okay, so i'm planning to attend sph graduation 2 weeks from now, but i'm not sure yet coz i haven't receive an invitation (i asked for my friend's help for one) sooo depends on the invitation.. maybe it seems i'm kinda desperate about it, but i'm actually not. i mean it is my friend's graduation and i would love to attend to at least congratulate them..

 

guess that's it for now..

just an update

okay, it's been a very very long time since the last time i wrote one coz i've been busy lately.

so i've been an intern in my dad's office for 1 full month (2 months including this month).. i was paid quite well (employee's salary) and i'm satisfied bcoz i want to be treated the same as them, with no exceptions.

 

well, just have a small update, i'm starting a "small business", it'll all be in a website, kayrajewelry.tk so if any of u have time, u might want to take a look at it.. but i'm sorry, it's still underconstruction now. i'm still working on it. i was hoping to use e-commerce for orders payments (online), but due to some reason, i'm not going to have it.. all payments are through bank transfer etc..

 

soo i'm still waiting *dreadfully waiting* for mid-august to come coz that's when i'll start uni. but i just can't wait to have a reunion with my friends who are some where out there. the singapore group (devany, lylo and natasha) was back yesterday (i think) and i'm really hoping i can hangout with them for a while, but it'll have to be during the weekend coz i'll be working during week days..

 

honestly, i'm kind of sick with the atmosphere in indonesia.. all the chaos, all the disturbance, everything..

one thing that i'm really sick of is public transportation stopping anywhere they want to get passengers.

if one public transportation stops, the other transportation behind it will have to stop, followed by other transportations behind.. if every single public transportation stops anywhere they want, how can we avoid traffic problems?!

 

every human needs to be self-concious in order to lead indonesia for improvements and innovation. every human should not put him/herself to first priority. they should think about the effects of his/her actions towards others.

just if every human being in indonesia (just think about Jakarta for now) just do one simple thing: do not stop anywhere they like and do not cross the street wherever they want..

 

i'm very sure jakarta will become the dream city (not actually "dream", but at least better than now)..

 

goshh, can't believe i'm writing about this coz i know that nothing will change if no one does the first step.. well i'm not a strong figure (at least not strong enough)..

 

well okay, i know that everyone has its own needs and determination.. but just if they think about the long and short term effects towards others..

 

okay, so i think i'm just wasting my time here, but who knows might happen with this..?

dream

last night i had a headache, and i thought it'll be better after i take medicine and went to sleep.. but i was wrong, when i woke up this morning, i still had that headache.. so i went back to sleep for another 2 hours then i woke up to take another medicine.. this is where i had a dream..

 

i was in the airport (i think so coz there were many people with their baggage and waiting for someone to pick 'em up) with my sister and my sister's ex-babysitter.. there was this taxi and i think my sister wants to go to somewhere (i forgot the name) with her ex-babysitter.. maybe because the tariff was expensive and the ex-babysitter was trying bargain for the tariff, the taxi drove off.. my sister was begging for me so that i allow her to go with the babysitter. i think i said yes..

 

then i don't know what happened, but i was in another scene. i was with my auntie and my grandma, my auntie was planning of a trip to bali (i think) with me, my sister, my grandma and herself.. i rememberred that she mentioned of april 20 and i think that's when we'll have our trip..

 

then i was in another scene.. i guess it was a flashback coz i was with my sister and that babysitter, with a guy who offered us a ride.. i think i said yes after a moment to think coz i followed that guy's family to their car.. i don't know what happened, but the babysitter was no where to be found in the car, and i was with my auntie and my grandma.. i remember my auntie asking the driver about the car, something about the car series.. then we passed by a beautiful scenery.. there was the moon shining so bright, with mountains below and the beach below the mountain, a perfect scene.. but it was strange because with the moon, it's suppose to be at night, but from the mountain and downwards, it was in the afternoon.. IT WAS A DREAM..

 

i didn't know what happened, but we were waiting for the elevator somewhere (i think an apartment).. we met a guy who said that another apartment (i forgot the name) has better elevator than this one.. we then went up to somewhere that i didn't know because i was in another scene..

 

the next thing i knew, i was entering a hotel with my grandma, my auntie, my youngest cousin.. i was holding on to my youngest cousin's baby trolley with somethings in it.. we went through a couple of cottages.. then we were in front of a bungalow, a really dark bungalow, with about 3 or 4 bungalows to the left.. i was the last one to step on to the bungalow's terrace.. there were lots of little black insects that started to gather on my hands and my hands started to itch.. then i went inside because it was brighter..

we met a woman, who i think was the keeper? she said something about these bungalows being haunted..

inside, my auntie stepped on a few tiles of the floor while saying that once, there was "something" that appeared on those.. on the last tile that she stepped on, she said that nothing appeared on that tile.. but the woman like screamed "don't step on it!! it's...." then i didn't remember what she said.. after that, i sunk on to a sofa (i think it was a sofa) after a while, we saw like a figure of a female sitting on the terrace.. my grandma said something like those that appear look round, didn't look that skinny.. coz before that, we saw a figure of a female which was round, not that skinny..

 

after this, i was awake because of something.. sooo i guess it's just a dream, but i think that dream means something.. which i don't know..

just want to write one

sooo i'm back in my dad's office and i'm substituting my dad's imployee who is currently absent because her son is sick (i think it is).. she's working in the admin department, so i'm doing mostly all her work, guided by my dad's secretary..

so i'm actually waiting for emails and faxes to come, coz that's where i come to place.

 

i don't have much to say, just that i just ordered another 13 pins for my friends (art bio) coz the previous pins were taken by someone else, which unfortunately didn't return it.. i mean what's the pins for? it means nothing to that person, i suppose..

 

so i gotta reprint the "small notes" that should be behind each of the pins, which contains art bio (both current and alumni of class 2007) data like their full name, birth date, email and where they're gonna go for uni.

 

i guess i have nothing left to say, no more news from me haha

i'm leaving it blank

soo i was planning to work part-time at my friend's parents' office, but due to some reasons, i wasn't able to work there..

I'm sooo relieved right now, coz yearbook's ready for my friends, it's pooled in binus library.. so any binusians class of 2007 who open this blog, you may take your yearbook in the binus library =)

 

well, actually, i would love to hear any comments,  suggestions or critiques from you all about the yearbook coz nothing is perfect, right? soo if you can email it to dykawi@gmail.com, i'll forward it to the next yearbook committee.

one note, you might notice that many of the pages has white speaces for about 5 mm (is it?) we had to leave it un-cut bcoz for laura's page, the text was right on the border, so if the printing people trim the pages, laura's message would also be trimmed.. sorry for that..

 

soo i'm still working at my dad's office, actually i'm doing nothing currently coz there are no work available for me (what od u expect, i mean i'm a high school graduate!) sooo i'm just sitting here, in case someone asks for my help, like i'm an extra employee here..

 

btw, just heard something about an indonesian movie, ayat-ayat cinta.. like it's not that good as mentioned in infotainments! and possibly not as touching as Mr President said.. it has no ups and downs, nothing special, really.. so if i may say, it's not that good, but up to u, if you are still curious about the movie, go ahead and watch it =)

 

i'm into action and drama movies right now.. like death sentece and vantage point.. i would loveee to watch it, but it's just that i have no time, actually i can't find time to watch it.. probably this saturday..? or not..? not sure..

 

alrite thennn.. hope i have a great day haha!

getting back

how long has it been? more than 1 week, i think..

just got back from my "short" 1-week trip to surabaya.. it's fun being there. i mean it's been like more than a year or so since i've been there.. it's way better now, with more mals and i was kind of surprised to see an international expo building near the airport. i mean "wowww". we passed by lumpur lapindo, but didn't see the mud coz we're on the way to Trawas and our view to the mud was blocked by the dam that they built to prevent the mud from spreading to other areas..

 

gosh, i want to go there again, i mean, i miss my auntie and grandma T.T how sad huhuhu

so there i met my youngest cousin, he's like 1.5 years-old (born on the 4th september if i'm not mistaken) and the only word he's pronouncing is "ma". so if we ask "who's that?" he always answer "ma" and if we ask "what's ur name" "ma" hahahah sooo cuttee *Mr C's style*

then if we sing the song "row, row, row your boat....." he always does this "rowing" action, as if he's really rowing a boatt.. ohhh darnnn!! i want to see him again *yes, a "he" *

if we ask something like "you want more milk?", if he really really wants it, he'll nod his head real hard and rock his body upward and downwards like he really want it..

well he isn't that cute if he shows no expression.. but if he smiles or laughs,, oh my gosshh, he's soo cute, like i wish he was older.. he's eyes are so attractive in a way..

 

so then i went to galaxy mall (now they have galaxy mall 2, and 3 if i'm not mistaken) then i went to TP (tunjungan plaza) accompanying my auntie there.. then hmmm.. what else.. i guess that's it coz i spent 2 nights in Trawas and i didn't do anything on the second last day of my trip to surabaya.. i mean i was so tired and my auntie needed to go to pasar atom (soo hot there) so we didn't bother going with her and she didn't allow us to go with her so that settles it..

 

i was back wednesday coz it's my sister's bday.. my parents were the one to force me to go back to jakarta on wednesday coz it's her bday.. i wasn't in the mood of going back to jakarta, but rather than my parents being angry, i better obey them.. soo yesterday i worked again in my dad's office, doing taxes (again).. i'm supposed to go to the office today but my head was "swinging back and forth" hahaha so i didn't go.. i was better when i woke up, which was about 9.30 i think..

 

okay then.. i'll continue it maybe tonight or tomorrow..

tax.taxes.taxation

tax.taxes.taxation haha it's a bit complicated why i name this blog "tax.taxes.taxation"

it's actually about what i'm doing lately in my dad's office, filling out tax forms and it turns out that i'm not that careful with the "numbers". sometimes i got mixed up with the 0s like 75000 becomes 75200, mistype..

 

soo i learned that i must be really careful and/or double check my work. and it's not only during exams, i mean i gotta double check every single work because one mistake may cause one to do all over again, and that does not even help. it wastes time!

 

enough with those stuff.

soo i was finally in contact with teachers who taught me in SPH, Miss Connie who taught me in Grade 2, then Ibu Evie who taught my Grade 4.. I'm actually still waiting for a few other teachers who I sent emails to.. many of my teachers have resign from SPH, such as David Skelton is now head of junior school in Cita Hati, Surabaya, Mr Andy is now a principal in a school 3 hours from Toronto, Miss Connie is now teaching in Teacher's College PH..

 

i'm still hoping that they would email me back, but not expecting them to remember me.. i mean i've changed! who does not change!? everyone change.. their appearance, character.. all this changes from time to time..

 

got to thank facebook for meeting me with my old friends from SPH, those who have resigned, those who are now far away, out there, in US, UK, and the world.. i mean i was kind of surprised when i found them in facebook. i was like "is that really him/her?!" hahaha the world is so small, with the internet around..

tralalalala

I'm not exactly happy, but I'm also not sad.. just feeling, as i used to be hahaha -what does that suppose to mean?!-

 

soo am helping in my dad's office -yes, for one full week this week- doing the "taxes forms" right not.. i wasn't able to get connected to the internet these few days in the office, but now, i can finally get the connection. i think something went wrong with the ADSL modem -yess, that's it!-  soo i don't know what happened exactly, but my dad bought wireless router for the office, so i think they're setting the internet along with the router.. i guess that's what happened..

 

soo, now i'm actually looking for a laptop -like i've been doing it for like how many months haha and i haven't bought one since then- it was kinda confusing for me, coz i never bought one myself.. i mean my dad bought one for the family like years and years ago and the laptop is now starting to annoy us -often crashes- i'm thinking of lenovo.. yes, i'm looking for a not-that-expensive laptop.. i mean i'm only gonna use it for like -how many months, is it?!- until august.. soo 4 to 5 months..

so, i've got the deal with my mom.. coz she's also looking for a laptop of her own.. soo i'm gonna pay it first then she'll pay me aroud 50% or 70% or so of the price coz i'm gonna use it too.. then by august, she'll probably gonna pay me the rest of the money coz i'm not going to use it anymore -gonna got a laptop from UPH!-

 

i was actually thinking of toshiba satellite or porstege but i'm not sure about the price, i mean it's kinda too expensive for me.. probably lenovo or acer has the best deal for me.. but i'm not gonna choose acer coz i heard it's not that good -somehow, i think the service or something like that- sooo lenovo it is, but not sure which series it's gonna be..

 

i'm also thinking of sony vaio, but again, the price haha

alrite.. getting back to work now.. tha2

another day

in my dad's office, helping out, and am waiting for the computer to install the driver for nokia modem.. kinda complicated but it'll manage..

friends kept on asking me "where is the yearbook?" "where is the yearbook" and all i can say is that "it's done,  it'll be sent soon to your home" and again "can you send it here,  to me?" i was like "i've given the addresses to which the yearbook will be sent, the address you wrote on the data sheet"

some asked "is it good?", all i can say is that "well i'm satisfied with the result, i mean the graphic is really good" then they'll say "okay then, sure it's good then.."

it kinda annoys me sometimes, but then i'm the yearbook committee, what do you expect!?

every time i log in to my msn, there is always one or two people asking me about yearbook.

 

at least i will not be fussed anymore about the yearbook when it's released, like in the next few days or so, hopefully..

i can't wait to start university, i mean rather than spending about half a year -is it?- doing something -work- in my dad's office.. i mean not really my interest. i'd rather work in a hospital, to know the system..

alrite.. gotta get back to work haha

just so-so

Okay, so now I've made a products site, dykawcollection.multiply.com. You might see there that it's kind of like a catalogue of products that you can order. So it's a compilation of self-ordered bags, mugs, t-shirts, pins, keychains (pictures are coming up) and emm CD labels.

The prices are affordable, for sure, because I'm a student myself. I hope that you might try to buy one or two items and try to use it or do something with it then buy again. You can probably refer me to someone else, who knows..?!

In case my art bio friends read this, I just want to say that it's still an idea -of a reunion in 2012-. It might happen if you all agree, or it might not. I don't know why, but I kept on saying this on and on and on. Maybe it's the excitement haha.

Anyways, yesterday, I watched Trans TV if I'm not mistaken and they had this news of this ENTEROBACTER virus (I think that was the name), which it was believed to have infected many infants and children. I was kind of shocked because this virus came from milk powder sold in many stores -or supermarkets- in Indonesia. The reporter actually said that it came from many local milk powder products and -might be- in some imported milk powder as well. Woww, I just couldn't believe it. I mean now, infants and children are in danger since they are very young. Especially the fact that -as you all know- Indonesia's economy is not that good, proven by many unemployments and those living under USD 1 a day. It's like hellooo, does anyone care about them?! I feel sorry for them, especially their babies or kids, because it's not their choice to experience the nature they live in and the truth that they might be infected with this dangerous virus -or maybe other diseases and viruses-.

I just hope that someone -or some organization or associations- will someday help these kids into a better life. I know that even though the world is in chaos, each and every one of us has the heart to help, the heart to give, the heart to serve them.

May the Lord be with you all..

i miss..

everyone. my friends especially arts and bios..
almost every night before I can actually sleep, I always thought about where each of us are, what they are probably doing and how they are doing.. I know it's kind of exaggerating but it is.
the fun, the laughter, the sadness, the excitement, the "hope that a teacher may be absent", and all that.
to all who came to my bday dinner, thank you very much for the night.

you all made me happy when i actually have problems with my sisters or parents. all of you are actually one of the reasons why i have the enthusiasm to go to school because i had fun with all of you.

well now we aren't in school anymore and the fact that we have graduated high school.

i will -definitely- ponder the moments, can't help laughing at the incident when we fooled mr terry with the "hidden door" hahaha goshh.. i had a great time..

if i may mention a bit of you guys:
Christy - the "eley"
In Hye - Korean girl
Marsha - (i will always remember you're allergic to coffee and fishes..?)
Natasha - "anime"
Verni - "bio dux"..?
Alyssa - comic maker
Shalvynne - now a celeb?
Mira - yearbook partner
Johanna - "art & drama dux" and cameraman
Martin - always "violence"
Meiling - always look fab & thanks for everything
Melissa - "vampire lover"
Ames - (just so speechless about you)
and for those who have resigned - Dedep, Lylo, Metta, Kartini, Harris..
