My Friends.. =)

"Friendship is like standing on wet cement. The longer you stay, the harder it's to leave, and you can never go without leaving your footprints behind.."

Hellooo..

I like to read friendship quotes recently.. don't know why.. =)

Thinking of my friends, maybe..

Let me recall..

I had a close friend when I was at kindergarten.. She moved away from my hometown when I was in primary 2.. we sent letter to each other few times.. and stopped.. =(
She called to my home about 2-3 years ago, when I was still a high school student, at that time, my mom picked the call, and I was still in school.. so I didn't manage to speak to her.. =( I wonder where she is now..
Miss u, Kristinda Puji Vera Wati (Vera).. =)

Then, during primary-secondary-till high school, I've had JeLLS.. =)
I've written about them on my first few post, right..?
I'm still keeping in touch with them, through facebook, msn, yahoo messenger and all those..
Miss u all, Lenny, Jessica, Cecillia, Sherly.. =) (I wish our agreement for Dec 2011 and 2017 are still on.. looking forward for it)

Now..?
I've known this girl for almost a year.. I knew her when I was attending the orientation held before DMS course started.. I remember be acquainted with some Indonesians, and she's the only Indonesian girl whom I knew would be in the same class as me..
First impression about her.. she's calm, hardworking, and quiet..
We always sit next to each other in the class.. (till now.. XP)
We took same bus to school.. but at that time, we never message each other asking which bus to take.. we just took the same bus accidentaly.. but most of the time, we went home together..
We talked..
Started to know each other more..
Semester 2, I spent more time with her together with Chung Leong Group, my beloved project mates =)
I don't know when and how, I became closer to her, we started to talk a lot, from the "shallow" things till the "deep" things.. started to do revision together.. started to "insist on taking the same bus".. and we found out that we have a lot of things in common.. =p
and.. she IS NOT quiet at all.. >.<"
she likes to draw on my lecture notes.. likes to post on my wall.. and most importantly, she likes to make me laugh till my stomach hurt.. XD
Well, I'm not complaining, I'm not angry, I'm just stating the fact.. =p
hahaha..
DMS is ending soon.. and we will be taking different course for degree..
I hope we'll still be like now.. I hope nothing will change..
We have to keep in touch !!!
You know who you are, Nathania Hermawan Liem.. =)

I still have lots of friends thereeeeeeee.. =)
Each of you has a special place in my heart.. No one can replace any of you..
I hope you all also the same.. always remember me as your friend..

"A true friend is an angel sent by God..
A true friend, stands by your side throught the bad as well as the good and loves you when you don't even love yourself.."

PLRT Tutoring

Hellooo.. =)

Today was my first day being a tutor in PLRT Tutoring at SIS (Sekolah Indonesia Singapura - Indonesian School in Singapore).. It was tiring, but interesting.. =D

So, it started about last month, I joined PPIS (Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia Singapura - Indonesian Student Association in Singapore) as a sub-committee of Social and Education Division..
Basically, our job is to motivate Indonesian' maids who got abused by their employers and feel abandoned.. And give them basic knowledge in making handicrafts..

For today, we handled 92 maids, which we divided into 5 groups of 18-21 people. In this group, we played a game for ice breaker, and another game with moral education inside it..
Well, lets starts with the ice breaker, we called it "RUJAK- Fruit Salad"..

This is the rule :
1. Named each person with a fruit name (we used mango, papaya, pineapple, and guava), so in this group of 21 people, there was about 5 people with the same name..
2. Let them sit in a circle, and try to make the position of "mango" and another "mangos" far, they cannot sit side by side. It was the same for all others fruit..
3. When we called "MANGO!!" then all mangos had to stand up and change positions with another mangos.. The last person who sit down would lose..
4. When we called "RUJAK!!" then everyone (all fruits) had to stand up and change positions..

So, after 15 minutes of this game, we finally had 5 people to give punishment.. LOL
The punishment were not difficult, for example, they were only asked to sing a song, and change all the vowels on the lyrics with "i".. Else, they need to dance.. =p

After the "ice" was "broken" (I mean, after we did ice breaker), we started the more serious part of the tutoring..
We divided them into a smaller group of 6-7 people, and asked them to make a roleplay.. There was only one rule in this roleplay, they have to state the 5 phrases that we gave to them.. Well, unexpectedly, they all were very creative!! =D

Ok, the moral lesson from this roleplay is :
1. They are given same phrases to use in the roleplay, but three different group came out with three different story line. What does it mean? Everyone in this world is given the same opportunity in lives. We are making our own stories, and our stories depend on our own efforts. Let's apply it to students' lives, we are given same opportunity to study, being lectured by the same lecturer, given the same notes, but why do some students pass..? and why some others fail..? The reason is, our effort.. =) When we put more effort, we can create a better story in our lives.. =D

2. Life is not always put us at the "top", there is some times that we are "below". There are time for happiness, time for sorrows. Time for being loved, time for being neglected. Time to be succeed, time to be failed. Time to be proud, and time to be frustated. So, remember when we are "below", there will be a time for us to be at the "top". When you are sad, remember you will see a happiness after the sadness.. When you are neglected, remember that you will be loved.. =)

I learn new lesson today.. hope everyone learn new lesson as well.. =)


Cheer!!

Sem 4 - Assignments

Hellooo..
Finally I have time to write something here.. =)

Well.. I got lots of things to share..
Hmm.. I'll begin with assignments then..
I finally submitted all my individual assignments and group assingments.. The last one was Microeconomics which I submitted on Friday (13th May 2011)..

Well, this semester, my "chung leong" group didn't have much group meeting since we divided the work.. and did online discussion more often.. still, I feel we did great jobs!! =))
I enjoyed doing Operations and Total Quality Management group assingments the most.. You know why..? Because I did the layout design! I like to design.. XD
This is our Ice Cream Cafe layout.. Isn't it nice? =p


For individual assignments..? Err.. I think I really did a lot of research to do them..
First, for Business Finance, we were required to write an essay about Global Financial Crisis 2008 and the excessive bonuses given by banks recently..
I don't like to read newspapers, u know..? What was I supposed to write about something I don't even know..? Luckily there is this thing called "google", it helps me a lot.. =)
Now I think I should start reading news.. =p

Second, for Operations and Total Quality Management, we need to choose a company and find information about the operations management of the company. I chose Illycaffe and then wrote 10 pages report about the company. I did a lot of research about this company as well..

For Microeconomics, thanks to our lecturer.. He guided us to do the assignments right after the topic discussed in the class, and it helped a lot!! =D

Well, finished doing assignments means I need to start preparing for exam..
