The Best Quote - Happiness

Happiness comes from deep inside our heart. If you put your hope on others, then be prepared to be left, be prepared to be betrayed.
We will be happy if we accept, love and respect ourselves, and want to accept others.

Sept 19th, 2010 - 11 Years After

Today, it's already 11 years since my Dad leaving us. I still remember the day and how I lost someone that truly had great impact in my life.

What I learn/have in this 11 years?

1. Finish my High School
Without any motivation to study, I still managed to finish my final year in high school. Can't be a good achievement. But, at least, I finish it. I was in the last 5 in the class and did my National Exam with average 6.8 with RED grade for all science studies. Yeah, I want to take Social class but my Dad encourage and force me to take Science class, which later turn out to be a better choice.

2. Get a Bachelor Degree
Actually, I don't really want to take Bachelor studies at that time. I'm thinking to helping my mom or starting my own business career. But, my mom encourage (or force) me to get a degree, at least, since she thinks that degree can make life better.
I studied at a local university, University of Jambi, for about 1 year taking Management studies in Economic faculty. But, I don't really enjoy my time there. I'm not a person who like to remember exactly the definition of everything.
Then, I start over my bachelor studies at Bina Nusantara University taking Computer Science degree which I finish in 3.5 year with Cum Laud despite some troubles with University. I also did some part-time job which leads me to become a professional.

3. Working in Real Life
I have some different working experiences ranging from small till nation-wide companies. And in each different working place, I learn different things. Each scale of companies has their own circumstances.
My range of jobs is Production Planner (Supply Chain Management), Database Specialist, Reporting Specialist and so on. Being in different jobs background forcing me adapt in every condition. Each job has their own strength and weakness. Each working place has their own positive and negative aspects.

4. Get a Master Degree
It's really a gift of my life. Being in Melbourne for 1.5 years is really an experience that I want to repeat. Lack of friends, lack of revenue, cultural shock, and language barrier are just some of the troubles that I got there. But, it's what I called LIFE. Low discrimination, a lot of interesting places, round the year festival, good transportation system, and (the most important thing) The Most Live-able City in the world.

5. Changing Mentality
For the last 2 years, I've tried my best to change my mentality from being a Professional to become an Entrepreneur. I've never been trained to be a businessman before. What I know is to do my best and get the best result. I work my way to be a Professional and trying to be in a field that I want. But, right now, under different circumstances, I am forced to learn how to do a business.
Business is harsh. Sometimes, it's out of ethical way; the thing that I hate in my life. I don't think that having money is always the best thing in life. There are a lot of things that are important than that; friendship, health, happiness, etc.


In the end, I really miss my Dad right now. What would be the different if I still have my Dad right now?

May 26th, 2010 - Off the Limit

Hm.. I think it's already the limit. It's been around 2 months that everything is not in the place. Starting with economic crisis that implies to market demand on some products, such as: snacks. So that my order is decreased by around 50 percents.

Then, I lost some of my employees. But, it's still OK that I don't have a lot of orders to cover. So I still can manage the left to fill the orders.

For the last one month, I get annoying competitor for some candy products. I don't know why, but I almost one step behind all the times. I don't know whether it's because supplier, courier, or myself. So, I just let if flow and tune myself up. Hoping that I could be ahead.

And because of those several reasons, I got one big problem, i.e.: lost of employee's spirit. Yes, I think they don't have a lot of things to finish day by day that makes them too relaxed.

Right now, when the market is a bit better, they already too soft for the current condition. And I also need some more employees to fill out the gap. But, it's really hard to find a good employee at the moment. There are a lot of persons looking for a job, but in the other hand, they don't want to work hard.

It's already out of my hands and I really hate the current condition. I just hope that things getting better and better in the future.

The only thing that I regret at the moment is I never been trained to be an entrepreneur since I was young. I was told to do the best in everything that I do, but must of the time is to be a professional. I really miss my dad, hoping that he is still around to guide me find direction. Miss you, Dad!

Aarrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!

June 22, 2009 - Handling a business

Yeah, it's quite a busy time for me. It started around 3 months ago.

My mom's business is usually handled by an employee that already works for my mom for more than 14 years. She started working for my Dad and still continuing even after she is married. But, suddenly, mood changes. She started to make a scene and get into troubles with my mom.

And in the end of March, she suddenly said she wants to quit. And my mom granted it. Since early of April, I was really busy helping my mom to cope with the business. I'm starting to more concentrate in the business and learn new things again. Management is not something difficult to learn, yet not easy to practice. I'm starting to learn more about our products and our competitors.

Instead of a new different life, I also stared to know about someone's true heart; someone that my mom really believe in (let's say her, AL). AL started to spread some bad rumour on us. Said something that is really not the truth. Then, trying to get our distributors and customers. We never ever met someone with that calibre; never ever feel ashamed.

It's such a blessing for me, since some of my mom's collagues trying to help us in such difficult time. Some of them is a long-time business partner that will never give someone else their products. My mom is starting this business about 20 years ago, when I was in kindergarten. I still remember some good and bad memories about the business.

But, now, it's my turn to make myself more useful in the business. Trying to give my mom the best advices that I can give. Deliver the best solutions for the business. Giving my best to drive the business to the top.

For real, I do a lot of stuffs every day. I'm the one that responsible of our storeroom, and do some accounting and financing. Trying to keep my pace with the market, getting to know my competitors, looking for a new suppliers, etc. Sometimes I also do some hard work, such as: driving, delivery, sales person, tidying storeroom, etc. I'd like to know how to run the business from the bottom.

Such a great day for me. Learning new stuff. Trying to concentrate on the duty. Be perfect. Arrange the order.

Hoping that what I get at this moment will be useful for my whole life. Always life in the right way.

June 17th, 2009 - My Girl's Birthday

Today is my girlfriend's birthday. I've been busy all along these few weeks. Trying to catch up with every I can with this short time. It's quite hard to explain here. But, I'll try to blog it some other day.

I can't meet her personally today because of my work. I have a cousin's wedding this weekend that my mum should attend it. And she is planning to go to Jakarta just 2 days after. Since it's a quite short time to be there, so I just postponed my plan to go to Jakarta.

The day before (16th June), it's a quite busy day. I've been trying to contact some of my friends asking about a shop that sells cakes or flowers. Yeah, I'm trying to surprise her with flowers and cake.

And I got into these two websites, harvestcakes.com and bungahati.com. They sells cakes and flowers, respectively. I ordered a chocolate tiramisu cake and a dozen of white roses for her. And I set for 3 PM as delivery time. And even though I ordered it in the evening, they still said that it's possible to do the delivery. I'm so glad of it.

On 17th June, I wake up around 3 in the morning to call her to say 'Happy Birthday'. She said that I'm the second person after her sister. Then, we have a conversation for around 30 mins. And then we try to sleep again.

As the result, I wake up quite late that morning. And still I have to catch up with the business, so I don't have any chance to contact her more.

At 3 PM, I received a call from my girl that she just received a cake from Harvest. And She is really surprised that I send her a cake. We talk around 10 mins as we should continue our work. She is quite busy with her new job and I'm busy as I have some delivery to do.

About 15 mins later, she calls me again. Yeah, the second delivery is already there. She gets a dozen of white roses that I ordered through bungahati.com. Again that she is quite speechless that she received such presents.

I'd like to thanks some of my friends that already give me some clue to order the present. And I'd also to thanks harvestcakes.com and bungahati.com for their outstanding service.

Happy Birthday, Hunn.. Hope that all your wishes come true. Wish that our relationship stays forever and ever. Love u, Dar.

Congrats - Congratulation

These are the words that I heard so many times today. Yeah, today is my graduation day. At last, I officially get another title, Master of Applied Science (Information Systems). I know that this title make my name a bit longer. Mitra Budiaji Chan, S.Kom., M.App.Sc.(Info.Sys.).

Then, I try to omit some part of my name, till become Mitra Budiaji Chan, S.Kom. M.App.Sc. But it still doesn't seem right; too long. Then, I omit my bachelor degree. Mitra Budiaji Chan, M.App.Sc. I think that's quite good enough to be put in my business card. Quite long, tough. But, I have no other choice. I already have quite a long name and I'm proud of it.

Back to the ceremony. I think I'm quite surprised today. I meet most of my friend in my major. Actually, there are not so many student in my major. I think it's not more than 50 people that come to graduation ceremony. I also just know about 10 of them. I have 1 Chinese, 1 Cambodian and 1 Bangladeshi friend instead of few Indian friends. I have another Korean friend, but he doesn't show up today.

I also met some of my care group friend. Yeah, they are from CCM RMIT. One of the student group in RMIT. I take a lot of pictures with them.

For all of my friends, I wish you all the best. Hope that you're success in everything that you will do.

For every RMIT alumni, now we are embedded into one as the alumni of RMIT. Hope that we can keep contact and we can share our journey.

Congratulation!!

Next Year's Wishes

Talking about 2009's wishes, I think I have a bunch of those.

I hope that I could start a new business of my own next year. That means that I have to learn a lot of it. I need to learn about how to run the business. I need to learn about the business itself. I need to look for people to run the business. And more.

It's not an easy start and I know that I should learn hard and be more persistent in a lot of things. I shouldn't disappointed anyone that put hope in me. And I have to get something out of it.

I know that it's gonna really tough. Global recession is coming. And starting a new business means double or triple effort than normal. There are more competitors and less customers. But I believe that whenever you have a good will, you will gain a good feedback.

Beside of that main wish, I still have some other wishes. My second wish is to be closer with my girl. I know that being back in Jambi means less communication between us. I need to run errand around my home to help my mum and lil sis. Then, next year, I will start my own. I think the time will be lesser and lesser for us to communicate. But, I have to spare some time to communicate with her. I also have some plans for next year, hope that I could fulfil it.

There are some other small wishes in my mind right now. But, I don't think that I'm gonna share those here. I just hope that I can fulfil most of them next year.


New Year.
New Beginning.
New Life.

After 4 Months

Yeah, it's already 4 months since my last blog here.

Living in a small town is not that easy to get internet access. And after all, when you're connected to internet, it's a very damn slow connection. Normally, I just get less than 1 Kbps for downloading file. It will take ages just for downloading something. And that's a dial-up connection.

OK. Cut that crap and let's talk about life.

Overall, I like to be there, in my little sweet hometown. It's still like the old time but has a lot of development in some districts. There are quite a few shopping mall around the city. A lot of new restaurants, food malls, or cafes.

Few months in Jambi lets me know more about the city. And I think I'm quite prepared to start my own business next year. Yeah, I think I will start my own business. Instead of the business, I still hope that I have time to be a lecturer. It's not about the money, but it's about passion. I really want to teach something and hope that I get something good out of it.

In this 4 months in Jambi, I learn about the city quite a lot. I was also looking around the city to look for a good opportunity. And I hope that my judgment is right. I also believe that when you believe in something, there is a clear way open for you.

Taking from KungFu Panda movie, "The secret ingredient is NOTHING. ... To MAKE something special, you just HAVE to bEliEVe it's SPECIAL. ... There is NO secret ingredient."

Yes, When you BELIEVE that you can do something, then it's DONE.

Aug 07, 08 - Last few hours

Today is quite packed for me. But, overall, I'm happy.

It's last few hours I'm in Melbourne. It's not a sad day. I'm quite blessed to be back there.

I have a welcome family that wants me to be back there. I have a girlfriend that is excited that we can communicate more. I have plans to do back there.

And I believe also that God opens my way. I believe that something is already planned toward my journey in Indonesia. I hope that I can bless and be blessing for others. I hope that the thought that crossed my mind can be fulfilled in the future.

I know that the picture takes a lot of times to be accomplished. But I believe that I can do it.

Right now, the weather is raining. I don't know why suddenly it's raining. Yeah, I saw that some dark cloud is already hanging around this evening. And it could be because of that.

I know that there is no appropriate way to say good bye. But, I still will come to this city next December and some other time in the future.

It's not my city. I still have Indonesian blood and I'm proud of it. I believe that Indonesia can change. I believe that Indonesia can be one of the developed country in the world.

We just neec to persist and believe. And also we need to act. We act toward the good of Indonesia.

See you in the future, Melbourne.

Things Gonna be Missed: Trams (5 of 5)

Tram is one of public transport in Melbourne. Actually, it's one of the thing that I like from Melbourne.

Tram is usually in the middle of the road along with another vehicles. But, in some areas, there are separate road for tram that gives tram a better space.

People is quite appreciative on trams that they must give ways to tram and also the passengers. Whenever trams stop, the other vehicles must give some rooms for passengers to board or alight trams.

Not every city in the world has trams as the main of transport. I believe that trams is not something easy to be implemented. In the other end, trams is quite slow to travel for long distance, due to traffic and tram stops.

I will miss trams for sure. It's my main transport for past 1.5 years. It brings another level to my life to know about this. It's quite enjoyable to know and experience in a tram.

I hope that Indonesia could learn more from other country about how they manage public transportation. Each city in Indonesia has it's own public transportation. But, the thing that I don't like is that government do too little about public transportation. So that everyone goes for personal transportation.

Cars and motorcycles are quite popular for everyone there, since they don't bother about public transportation. And also getting into public transport means that you must be fully aware about the condition. There is few safety measurement there.

I will miss tram. But in the other end, I will get into a car or motorcycle there.
It will be an exciting changes for me.

Things Gonna be Missed: Vegetarian Meal (4 of 5)

I will miss the food that I can take here, in Melbourne. To be amazed, almost all restaurants in Melbourne has vegetarian menu and they are quite welcome to vegetarians.

Before I came to Melbourne, I'm quite stressed to think about what I could eat here. I think that I have to cook for almost every meal that I will eat or I will just eat bread each time. But the condition is more that I expect.

Restaurant is very accommodate all the customers. And restaurant atmosphere is really different. Most of the restaurants provide customers with drink. Hm.. To be true, I just visit the common restaurant. I never ever visit a fancy restaurant.

Back there, in Indonesia, I rarely see a special menu for vegetarian. Most of the menu is dominated by meat, such as: beef, chicken or seafood. There are no or very few menu which is just vegetables.

Yeah. It's a bit funny that you hardly find vegetarian meal in Indonesia. You can try to go to a food court and try to see how many vegetarian meal that you can spot. And how many stall that sells vegetarian meal.

I will miss the freedom to choose the food. It's my choice to be vegetarian and I hope everyone can accommodate it.

Thanks.

Things Gonna be Missed: Shopping Town (3 of 5)

Hm.. Shopping in Melbourne is a bit different with what you can see in Indonesia.

When you live in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, people go to Shopping Mall to do their shopping from buying food, accessories until doing groceries. But, here in Melbourne, the style is a bit different.

Yes, we have malls. But, it's not that much. And local government still give some space for traditional seller.

Melbourne host to Victoria Market, one of the most popular market in the world. It's still in traditional way and it does not open on Monday and Wednesday. It has few halls which separate based on the product sold.

It's quite tidy market and it's also one of the tourist attractions in Melbourne. When you do tour around Melbourne, the tour will take you to Victoria Market for sure.

Back there in Indonesia, people tend to go to shopping mall rather than traditional market. There are couple of reasons, such as: convenience and security. When you are in traditional market, the environment is not that nice. You'll get annoyed just after a while. Whether it's too hot/sunny or too squashy. Even when you go to a shopping-town like, the place is also not that nice.

The other reason is security. The security level in Indonesia is much lower than here in Melbourne. And there are gangs in every place in Indonesia. They rule the place and hardly can be touched.

Yeah.. so, living in Melbourne and Indonesia has two different lifestyle to shop. Here, people still respect and want to shop in traditional way. But, in Indonesia, people tend to go to shopping mall.

I really hope that Indonesia government can do something to make the traditional way still alive. It's more natural and better.

Hope that in the future, it's not just malls in Indonesia.

Things Gonna be Missed: Gardens (2 of 5)

This is the second blog of the series. This is the next thing that I'm gonna miss, Gardens.

Yes, Melbourne is a city of gardens. In each suburb, there is at least a small area of reserve, where the green is preserve and, sometimes, there is playground.

Melbourne is host of one of the best Botanical Garden in the world. It's called Royal Botanical Garden, lies along St Kilda road, next to Shrine of Remembrance and near Yarra River.

I've been there few times and it's the best garden that I've ever visited so far. It has an aura that can't be explained. It's like you come into peace within a crowded environment.

You still can see some Melbourne's skyscrapers from the garden, but the garden itself bring different aura to yourself. It's hard to explain, it's better that you experience it by yourself.

Beside Botanical Garden, there are lots of garden around Melbourne. Most of the garden is awesome. Some of the reserve is also OK, since it's even harder to find open place in Indonesia.

Back to Indonesia, I don't think that we can find the reserves or gardens that much. In Jakarta itself, I just know the one in National Monument. I don't know the others.

In my hometown, it's even worse. I don't think that Jambi has reserves or gardens that opens to public. I know about an orchid garden, but I don't think that it's accessible for public. There is another youth garden, but it's usually used by students for a date place. And it's to scary to be there.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna miss the gardens. It's hard to find in another city.

Things Gonna be Missed: Flowers (1 of 5)

Yeah, starting from today, I will write about things that I'm gonna miss when I back there in my hometown. This blogs is the first of the series. I think at least I will write 5 things.

When I back there, one thing that I gonna miss is flowers. This city is full of flowers, even though most of them are in store. But, it's something that you rarely find in Indonesia.

For example, when you go to a shopping town in Melbourne, most of the time you can spot a flower shop between the shop. And there are few shops running around the clock.

But, back there in Indonesia, it's hard to find flower shop in the shopping mall. I know that most probably the rent fee is too high to be covered just by selling flowers. I once bought flower from Carefour, one of supermarkets that sells flower.

I know that flowers are not Indonesian culture. We rarely bring flowers for friends. And we rarely decorate home with flowers. Yeah, as young people, sometimes we buy flowers for our mates. But, that's all.

I don't really know what people here buy flowers for. But, I just like to see flowers whenever I walk down the road. It's natural and it's life. If you just see building, building and building, then it's just a cold expression. It's not life.

Hope that I could have a small garden back there to plant with some flowers. I plan to plant some flowers. Hope that I have enough time to do that.

It's 10 days to go and I'm exciting to be back there.

Jul 24, 08 - 2 Weeks to Go

Yeah.. I think I just have two weeks left in Melbourne. It's so exciting.

Right now, I'm exciting about the day I go back. It will be in two weeks time. And I believe that it will be one of the greatest decisions that I've ever made in my life.

In this two weeks time, I hope to see some of my friends here and also to taste some food that I've tasted before. It's just for a remembrance of this nice city. I really want to be back here later in the future.

Yeah, true that I love this city, I love Melbourne. It's a nice city with a nice environment. But, after going through 1.5 years here, I don't think that I will live here forever. There's something missing that I can't experience here.

I'm exciting. And I plan few things with my girl when I reach Jakarta later. It's not really a big trip or anything. It's just simply a day off with both of us. Talking, cuddling, joking, discussing, etc. I hope that we can't have a good quality time back there.

I'm really looking forward to see here soon enough.

Jambi, here I come.

Jul 14, 08 - The Result

Yeah.. today is the result day. 14th of July 2008.

This is the last semester of my Master degree and I really hope to get a good result for the last course in my Master degree. As you know, this semester, I takes just one single course worth equally 48 credit units, or 4 courses.

And I found a lot of problems in the semester during the project time. We are together 5 students. There are couples of member changes during the semester and a lot of issues between members.

So, it comes to me a bit nervous to see the result. I try to see the result in the morning. It comes out at 8 AM in the morning. But, I think all students try to access the page and it becomes very slow.

Then, I just leave it to go to the office, since I don't want to be too late to be there. I reach office around 9.15 PM. Yeah, it's a long journey, with total about 1 hour journey from home to office.

When I reach there, my boss and colleagues tease me about the grade and when I gonna see the grade. I said later, could be in the lunch time.

But, in a minutes, around 9.30 PM, my team mate text me about his result. He get 85 which means HD. So, I just quickly check my result before I start to do stuff in the day.

To be amazed, I get the same result for the project. I can't say much. But, I think I deserve it. Four of 5 in our team get HD. I don't know about the last member. I tried to contact her before the result, but can't get through. I think I will try again next week.

Yeah, overall, I think it's a good result for me. During my 1.5 years study here, I get 4 DI and 4 HD for 8 courses and 1 HD for the project (equal to 4 courses). An I also get 4 courses exemption which completes my 2 years study here.

So, here I am. Finished my uni life and the real life will come soon.
I'm so excited!

Jun 10, 08 - Go Skiing

Hm.. It's been a week since my last post. Seems that being busy in the project erode my eagerness to blog. I should be more persistent to write more.

Yes, tomorrow, I'm going to skiing. It will be a long hour journey. It takes around 10 hours to go to Snowy Mountain located in another state.

I go there with my brother and sis-in-law. They arrange to meet their Binus friends to come along from Sydney. I think it will be around 10 people.

I hope a good experience there. Since it will be the first time to go skiing.

Thursday, July 3, 2008

Jul 03, 08 - Camping Time

Hm.. tomorrow will be the camping time for me. It's not a real camping, though. Since we will stay inside and do most of the activities inside.

But, I'm a bit excited. The last time I'm in a camp is back to my high school time. I don't really remember the exact of it. But, it's quite fun.

It's just once that we really went to the camping area. It's about 1 hour drive from Jambi named Sungai Gelam. It's not real good place. But, it's good enough.

I still remember that it's somewhere in the jungle, but it has a river and path. It's quite scary at night and have bad sanitary; toilet is quite far from the camp.

Back to the topic, I don't know what I will experience tomorrow. But, I hope to get a good experience and excitement.

I don't know much about the detail of the camp. But, it will be somewhere in Mornington Peninsula. And we stay inside a house. I don't know how big is the house, since it should accommodate around 100 people.

So, I'm just waiting for the day.
See u. Ciao.

Jun 30, 08 - Master Degree

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.
