Today is the day that I finish my Master degree. It's officially last Friday in RMIT; but since we still have presentation in IBM today, then I believe today is the official day that I graduate from RMIT.
Yeah, I still have an individual report to be done by Wednesday. But, I believe I could done it by the time. It's not an easy report, but still a report that has to be done.
Straight after IBM presentation, I feel a lot of relieved that I don't have any burden anymore. But, then I feel a bit lost, since I usually think about project for the past two months.
I'm also a bit confused about the day that I go back to Indonesia. I haven't finalised the day yet and I'm a bit nervous of it. In the other end, I'm definitely going back for good.
It's now the time to move on. It's just like a book called, "Who move my Cheese?", that life goes on. It can't be stopped. "The only consistent thing in this world is INCONSISTENCY".
Right now, I'm deciding to be back there. But later on, I could be back to Melbourne to spend the rest of my life. Who knows?
I just let it flow and hope that I will get the best out of myself and could fulfil all of my dreams.

Jun 27, 08 - Last Project Day
Today is officially the last day of the project this semester. And the most nervous day during the project so far.
Actually, I don't get a good sleep today since I'm a bit worried about real demo in mobile phone for presentation. I'm as database person in the team, have to make sure that the application is running smoothly.
I'm already in the campus around 9.15 since we said that we would be there around 9AM to do our own demo. But, unfortunately, everyone is late and reach there at 10 something.
Our presentation starts at 11.30 AM and last for 1.5 hour. And our team gets the last chance to present so that we should be present around 12.30 PM for 30 minutes. But, in the real, we start around 12.45 PM.
In the presentation session, I'm doing my part to present the research finding. That's just a small part of presentation that takes around 5 mins. After that, I'm just checking the database whether it's OK or not. Lucky enough, there's no drama during demo time. It's really a huge relieved for me.
We conclude all presentation around 1.30 PM and do some photo taking in the lecture theatre between groups, persons to persons and also with our project manager.
After everything, some of us go together for lunch around 2 PM. And we finish everything around 3 PM. Then, I head back to campus, take a nap in my computer a while till 4 PM.
Then I'm there till 5 PM. After that, I'm going with my friends to play snooker, but after running here and there, we finally still can't play the snooker because of some reasons. That takes around 1 hour.
Since we will have a dinner party for all of the project members; together, we are all 12 students and our beloved project manager. Then I just walk around that area for a while. The party should be started at 7 PM and it's already 6.15 PM. And I don't bother to run here and there without any results.
Then, I decide to wait in the restaurant for a long time. They come at 7 PM and we start to have dinner. And we already decide to have banquet, so it comes with appetizer, main course and dessert.
It's really a big dinner for me. And overall it takes 3 hours long. We talk and talk, wait for the food, etc.
We conclude the dinner at 10 PM and then we separate. Our Manager also says good luck to everyone, since for other teams, that could be the last day with her. We still would be with her in Monday presentation.
After that, I just go to meet my friends to play snooker for a while. I wait them for 20-30 mins. And we start to play around 10.40 PM. And we finish at 12.30 AM in midnite. It's quite long to play, but we just play for 2.5 games. One of the games is cancelled in the middle of the play to restart. So, it's not a nice day to play, actually.
And in the other end, we still need to do a lot in these 2 days to prepare for monday presentation.
Thank You.

Jun 26, 08 - The Last (Official) Night
Huh.. At last, tonight is the last (official) night for the project.
It's really tiring to be in the project. And it's really good that this is the last official day of the project.
We still have sponsor presentation on Monday in IBM site. But, let's think about tomorrow, school presentation first. In the other end, both would not be in the exact format.
I believe that we still have something to do in the project. But, I really want to have fun first tomorrow.
I should prepare for the presentation and hope that it's a good one for me.
Wish me luck.
Thank You.

Jun 24, 08 - Lunch and Dinner in Tram
Today is really a special day for me. I had lunch and dinner both in tram. Yeah, in the tram.
I had a sponsor meeting this morning, around 11 AM. We had a meeting for about 1.5 hours. It's not really a nice one, though. We can't demonstrated the application due to some reasons. We are not really sure.
After finish the meeting, we quickly had a team meeting to discuss and then I went to my office. This would be my last one this month. I would be there again next Tuesday which is already in July.
I quickly bought a burger; veggie one, of course. And then wait for the tram. I eat my lunch in the tram and reached office at 1.30 PM.
I finished my part at 7 PM tonight and quickly bought pizza to eat in tram. Amazingly, the tram is quite fast today and it takes me 40 minutes from office to RMIT. It usually takes about 40 minutes just to go straight to Flinders St. So, it's quick.
I finished the whole pizza in the tram. I like the pizza; especially the base, it's nice. But, I hate the topping. I should try another topping another time.
Yeah, this is one of the experience to have meal on board public transport and have it twice in the same day.
In the other end, we just have 2-3 days left in the project. Hope that we could finish whatever we should finish by the time.
Jia You!

Jun 22, 08 - The Last Sunday
Today is the last Sunday for the project. This project will conclude by Friday and we have presentation that day as the last effort for the project.
But, I believe that we still have some more other things to do, such as: tidy up folder and burn all the project into CD; also tidy up the desk.
I supposed to do something about Location API today. But, I'm a bit lazy and I just a bit lost of interest to do anything at the moment.
It's almost 10 days since my last blog. I could say that I'm really busy with a lot of things. But, after this Friday, I will have a lot of free time. Even though, I'm still not sure what I should do after that. I still doesn't have any plan yet.
Yes, at last, the last Sunday for the project.
Bless me!

Jun 13, 08 - New Phase
Yeah. At last, I would have another new phase in my life soon enough. I reckon that I have several phase in my life.
Sometimes, I'm quite sad when I know that I would move soon. But, in the other times, I believe that I should move to grow to be better. It's just like a famous book in the last decade, Who Move My Cheese. The cheese won't be last forever so we have to prepare ourselves to adapt new world, new things.
People said, "The world is not something that come to you, but the world is what we think about what we receive". In the other time, they said, "World is like a mirror; it will reflect back whatever we put into it".
So, I believe that I should survive in any condition. I believe that I could be someone wherever I am. I could pursue my passion here and there. And to be a better person, I need to get a lot more challenges.
A story tell about a very nice pottery made from clay. The process to change from clay into nice pottery is through a very long journey with a lot of misery for the clay. And in the end, the nice pottery comes up and it worth the process that the clay already pass by.
Yeah, I think I'm still in the process. I need to get into more shaping and similar process to be a better person with a better result.
Right now, I'm preparing my heart, that it's just another phase in my life and I should pass it and survive to be a better one. In the end, to be here forever is also not in my whole plan.
I don't like to be alone, it's better for me to be with my big family and has a good close relation with my Dar.
In the end, it's how you see about what you get; NOT what you get. If I decide that my life is good then it would be good. Yeah, my life is AWESOME.

Jun 13, 08 - Two More Weeks
Yeah. Right now, we just get another two weeks till end of semester, end of my project. After that, life would be quite boring for me, since there's nothing much to do till I go back home.
The update of my project is quite bad. Actually, right now, we just try to complete the main part of the project without any support application, such as: admin tools and reporting. So, it's not a real complete project. But, looking at what we did, I think it's the best result that we could get.
We would do project presentation to RMIT in 26 June 2008, which is Thursday. And we also need to think about it before that; to prepare everything.
We need to tune up the gears so that we don't lose the grips. But, right now, I think everything done in very slow motion.
I just hope that we could do a good presentation, produce a good application.
Hope for the best.

Jun 04, 08 - Counting Down ...
It's a counting time for me. I think my time would be at most 8 weeks here in Melbourne.
I've already planned to go home at least by end of July. But, I haven't booked a ticket and haven't even bother to check it. But, I'm sure that I'll go by that time.
Right now, I'm really busy with this project and also work. I'm left with almost no time for myself.
After this project, I would take a very good time to explore Melbourne and do things that I like. Hope so.
But, I think I would be bored in the last few weeks before I'm going home since I don't have anything to do. But, hopefully I would still get part time job.
Yeah, the counting is already start..
I would be back there in my little sweet town. Home sweet home.
