time is like dripping water in a bare hand
it keeps running even you try to hold it carefully
but when you carelessly it will run faster through your hand and leave your hand dry.
nothing can hold time and none can stop it from running out.
Thus, take a good care and
make a good use of the time you still have.

Berbagai alasan untuk mengerjakan satu hal
ho oh...Leanya masih males upload poto trus nulis kelanjutan footage in2005. Alesannya?? Serius yang nomer 1 males, alasan kedua masih berhubungan dengan yang pertama "kenapa males?" jujur kacang ijo saja dengan kemajuan teknologi yang membuat harga kamera digital setara dengan kamera manual dan memampukan saya untuk membelinya (iya itu si digicam) semakin banyaklah poto2 yang tercipta (males resize males upload). Kalaupun potonya hilang karena file corrupted bisa ngopi punya orang (iya dong meskipun bukan murid IT saya kan juga (kadang-kadang) punya backup; siapa2?? hehe..ya lewat masku lah hahahahaha yang ternyata arek IT jg hohoho bercanda).
Alasan ketiga? saya menerima serangan flu dari bang Bud yang lagi flu juga. Nah ini yang mbuat orang jadi pengennya batuk terus dan bobok terus karena kepala selalu terasa berkunang-kunang apalagi ditambah "my morning syndrom" ketika ga ada ayam berkokok di luar masih gelap gulita ketika jam menunjukan jam 7 pagi. Siapa bilang kalau kuliah bisa masuk dan bangun seenaknya tidak seperti masa-masa internship aka magang. Dari keempat kelas saya selama seminggu 3 diantaranya dimulai jam 8.30 dan yang satu masih di bawah jam 10 pula.
Apa saya kurang motivasi? atau teralu sering menyalahkan pihak lain dan ga tanggung-tanggung berani nyalahin Tuhan lagi "Lord, why this should be happening now? when this week is my last week before exam..sigh."
Anyway saya belum nyerah buat exam (meskipun sudah miss satu karena salah jam LOL) hehehe...hayooo fighto fighto...uhuk.
Sudah deh gitu dulu...

5 years since then (year 2004)
Year 2004 is not my third year in Holland as I came to this country almost by the end of 2002. So these is how I spent my second year in Holland (and of course this was my life outside school).
No picture in January 2004 till February 2004
MARCH 2004
I had my 20th birthday pictures taken by Dipta. Here is one with all birthday-participants minus Anton (he had to go home earlier because of some deadlines, can't help it).
APRIL 2004
Life is not about school and college right? when you are abroad, maybe you will think the same way...anytime there is time and enough budget, why don't we go somewhere new.
So we booked 4-days-trip to Paris, France on April 2004. Yes again, Anna, Harbud, Anton, and I, four of us.
Four of us, student-travellers
with Anna
with Anton, featuring Anna at the back :)
Next, a visit to once-a-year-flower-garden-exhibition in Lisse, Netherlands, which is known as Keukenhof. Together with Anna and her part-time job's colleagues. *still no digicam, this is a scanned one
JUNE-JULY 2004
One and half year in Netherlands was long enough to make me miss home. This year I made up my mind and spent my summer in Indonesia for 5 weeks. Speaking of which, I have almost no picture during my vacation in Indonesia, I mean the digital ones. Instead I secretly took one of my toddler's photo from home and scanned it. This is how I am looked like when I was one year old with my mom and dad eating meatballs..how nostalgic hihi (did I look more like my mom?).
Then I was back in Holland only for 2 weeks before leaving for Sweden and taking my double degree program. End of my summer...
AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2004
What a once lifetime experience. I was about to spend my winter in one of the coldest country in the world. I was scared enough to face it but my excitement of this country was over all of those worries. I lived in a city called Gavle located 2 hours away by train from Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden.
My first picture was taken with Baltic sea as the background (can you believe it?? I've visited Baltic sea)
This is the uni where I was studying in Gefle.
6th September, at Sindhu's birthday, the Indonesian contingents minus Ooq
And when you are in a new country, it is natural to find a new way of living (which people know it as "ADAPTATION"). Speaking of new way of living, first thing we had to learn was how to prepare our meal...here is our first dinner:
Reddy the chefwannabe, Sindhu read sms how to cook raw fish, Lea and Lya were the meal testers and eaters LOL
Then we learnt how to get in touch with other cultures, for example
Greek Dinner with Saziki??&%* (dunno how to spell it). Anyway it's Greek Omelet (^o^)
Talking about culture-learning I will never forget to mention the parties every Thrusday's night. I didn't and I don't like going to the party. Nevertheless I did come to some of them.
just a normal party
beach party in the autumn
November 2004
It's lebaran Although in Sweden we could still celebrate it with a little party at our place, Lya's and mine.
And the next morning when I opened my curtain, the snow was everywhere, white was the most color I could see.
and since then the sun went down earlier than before...geez I was quite depressed. During the winter the sun rose at 10:00 AM and went down around 3 in the afternoon. Therefore my housemate and I often felt like dinner time was a way too long to wait. Nights were just too long for us who were born and used to live in a tropical country for the last 18 years.
DECEMBER 2004
Another Christmas and New Year occassion. We celebrated this season by posing in front of Swedish Christmas Goat, the goat that would be burnt by the end of the month (why? don't ask me..it's just the tradition):
To live up the Christmas spirit what else we could think but a nice pre-Chirstmas dinner
However, I missed him, Anna, church, and others in Holland. I prayed to God and tried my best to pursue my daddy to let me go back during Christmas and new year. Thanks God, He and my dad did allow me to enjoy my Christmas and New Year in Holland (about this trip I have written it in this blog two year ago New Year 2005). And this is how I ended year 2004.
Next..welcome to year 2005

5 years since then (2003's memory)
Ok these were happened in 2003,
This is the photo that I could recall when entering year 2003. On January 13, 2003, Anna's 19th birthday at Schoterstraat 2, Haarlem :) I came over to her place by bike in the evening. The picture was taken by my first new manual camera, which I had just bought it in Media Markt with Elli. Unfortunately I lost the camera now...I don't really remember when where or even how ^^
In April 2003, my friend Rico arranged a trip to a theme park called Six Flags (note: now it is called Wallibi World). Lots of fun, first time I discovered myself not liking roller coaster riding hehhe... LOL
Somewhere in July 2003, my first summer in Holland before Via went on vacation to Indonesia
As the time flew, I met him at Bethany church in Hoofddorp. We didn't have so many photos back then. Maybe this was our first picture featuring Daniel (aka Nyot2) and Marlina (aka Qiyut or Nina) at Schiphol Airport. We went there on Saturday right after fasting-prayer at church. No particular reason, just an afternoon hangout. When was it again? If I'm not mistaken it was taken around August 2003.
December 2003
The same sentence keeps playing in my head, time does fly fast. I did not have a digicam yet therefore, not so many I can post here. I pick this picture from Silvia's friendster and my old file. During Winter holiday and in order to celebrate the coming Christmas and New Year, the Dutch Train Company or the NS usually has some special offers. Anna and I were very excited back then since we never went anywhere outside Netherlands. Two trips were decided, the first one was to Christmas market in Koln, Germany.
Few days later after a trip to Germany. We did go to our second trip, but this time with different participants. On that one chilly day, we went to Brussel in Belgium together with Anthon, Harbud, and Johan. Thanks to Harbud and his digicam, quite a lot of pictures had been made in Brussel.
Then..Christmas is here again!!! and of course a Xmas celebration. A photo of the team
Maybe we just did not want to end Xmas only at Church. In Netherlands everyone has second Christmas day. On 26th December, everyone went to our place, Anna and I. A little celebration with soft drinks and Europoly!!!!
Honestly, that was one of the best time of my life in Holland :) HONTOU yo!
6 days later on 31st December 2003, New Year's eve...a year-end service at church.
To be continued to year 2004

5 years since then
First of all, let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 to all of you. Here are some of my footnotes in Holland since 2002, just for some old good times... :)
2002
August 16, a couple hours after leaving Indonesia, our first picture together in Kuala Lumpur
August 17, our first dormitory in Haarlem, NL
First excursion to Zaanse Schaanse
My first international group,
Four of us, Silvia, Tata, Anna, and I
First and finally in 2002, my dream-comes-true, first snow in Haarlem,
End of 2002 sorry no year-end picture, I was lost in Schiphol with Anna and Silvia without "vervoer" or public transportation around. All public transportations stopped after 19.00, 5 hours before the new year.
