inspection

Last week, i was caught by tram inspector with no valid ticket to travel on my way back home. I was alone that time, innocently get into a tram, didn't touch on my myki card just like what I always did. Unfortunately, I didn't realize there was an inspector entered the tram in the same stop. So after awhile, He asked everyone to show him the ticket! Dang!

Still act innocent, I gave him my myki which I know haven't been activated anytime that day. I thought, when He saw me that I had a ticket, He will just go away. Bad luck for me, instead of went away, He took out his Myki detector and checked my card. O,Oh..

He then pointed that the last time I touched on my Myki was a week before. Which means I got caught illegaly travel on the tram. Then he asked me whether I touched on by the time I got into the tram. Instead of replying, I asked (read: acting stupid), "Isn't that with Myki we only need to touched on one time on the tram? (I was saying that I thought we can touched on anytime we want, by the time we got in or get off). He said, "NO! You should touched on when you get into the tram, but Yea, u just need to touched one time."

I was proven guilty.

But luckyly, He didn't fine me. Huhuhu. He just said, "Be careful next time. Be alert."

Before the inspection happened, actually I was reading my lecture notes, but then I was shocked that I couldn't continue any longer.

This is not something to be proud of, or something to be celebrated that I can escape the officer. This is more about real teaching and a reminder.

7°C

7°C!

no wonder it is so cold. even with my jacket and my socks on. i heard there was hails just now. unfortunately the heater sensor only show 16 degree and only ON for some time. i just raised up the temperature for it to be working properly. hopefully tomorrow will be okay, and the exam hall wouldn't be so cold. wish me all the best for my first paper. amen.

(rice + milk) together

Di Indonesia, kita disarankan untuk mengkonsumsi 4 sehat 5 sempurna, dimana nasi dan susu adalah komponen utamanya. Jelas nutrisi kedua bahan tersebut terbukti nyata. Namun, baru-baru ini saya menemukan hal unik berkaitan dengan konsumsi nasi dan susu. Kalau makan nasi dan minum susu adalah hal biasa, bagaimana jika makan nasi didalam susu bersamaan?

Salah satu housemate saya, asal Bangladesh, bercerita kalau dia biasa makan nasi dan susu (together). Bisa bayangkan cereal? Nah, coba bayangkan tit-bits cereal nya diganti nasi. Dia bilang, itu makanan umum di negara asalnya. Umumnya makanan bayi dan anak-anak. Tapi beberapa orang, termasuk dia dan keluarga menikmati nasi dan susu hingga dewasa. He was saying that "But now I eat it as dessert, not for main course," So I replied, "Wow, you have a heavy dessert than, rice for main and another rice for dessert." Yah pokoknya dia bilang itu enak, and he encourage me to have a try sometime.....

By the way, this conversation arose because that time, I was having my lunch at home and he suddenly came, put yogurt on top of the rice. And I commented, "Hey you eat yogurt with rice.." and so the conversation followed.

Interesting fact. Feel free to try on your own. ;)

Provider

Have you ever heard the quote, "He makes all things beautiful, in His Time" ? I heard a lot, and more than that, i didn't only hear it a lot, i also experienced it a lot. This is one of my simple story..

Back in 2009, I was desperately looking for a room for myself as my contract at my previous apartment was almost end. With budget under average and no partner to share a room with, i started to contact some agents and did some inspection in Lagoonview Condominium. It was not an easy job considering a good place usually come with 'good' price, while not-so-nice place come with okay price. I was quite stress back then, wondering whether i could find some place in time. So what else did i do? Pray. I admit that i prayed harder that time because of this problem that i struggled in. To cut the story short, finally I got this really nice, huge, not expensive room in Lagoonview with nice housemates and roommate to share with. I can say out of nowhere, i just saw this ads posted at campus, and decided to contact it. Not from someone that I know, not from any of my friend. Somehow, there was a way that lead me to that room.

Last semester, I had to say goodbye to my lovely room as I was going for exchange to australia. No matter how nice and not expensive it is, it still a waste of money if I resist to pay the rental and keep the room for my coming back the semester after. Next challenge is again, to find another room in Australia. It was also challenging since I only contacted the landlords overseas through email. Most of them will ask people to pay the deposit to confirm the booking and almost all didn't allow us to share a room with someone else. I prayed. and believed if God could make it happen before, He surely will provide, as he always do.

Two weeks before my departure, I found an advertisement from a student website offering a twin-sharing room. I contacted the owner and was so glad that he is a very welcome person, and he was saying, "Don't trouble yourself to send the money overseas, just pay it once you reached," He even offered me a lift from the airport to the house. How nice that is. I emailed him to confirm the place, I thought, if something goes wrong and we really really couldn't stand it, at least we haven't pay anything. Nothing to lose. Thankfully, when i reached Melbourne, I saw the place and really satisfied with the room, it was much bigger than I expected! So now here I am, staying in a big room, sharing with my exchange friend, cut a lot of accommodation cost during my study here. Make friends with nice housemates, doesn't need to pay any extra money for electricity and all the bill (many of my friends do!).

As four months have passed, it almost the time for me to leave Melbourne, meaning, it also the time for me to find another room in Malaysia! A month ago I told my ex-housemate to let me know if there's anyone moving out from the house. I know it's quite impossible knowing that 3 of the tenants were just moved in last semester, and the other two will only finish their study next year. I started to ask from some friends, post it in fb, etc. Again with no partner to share, it's quite hard to find affordable room in LV. But this time, I really believe that He will be my provider.

One night I was checking my fb, and felt like checking Lagoonview fb account, and there was it.

I straight away contacted the person, read the post again and thinking "Hmm why is this place sounds familiar... 650 per month, middle room... Hmm i felt i have heard the person name as well" Then i msn my ex-housemate, asking what's the girl's name who's staying in the middle room. And it's really her!! Ohhh my! it definitely not an accident. That was the unit i stayed before. I quickly booked the room through my housemate. In this time when the rental price is increasing over and over, almost impossible to get room with this price. And I actually left some of my stuff in the house before, so i won't have to trouble myself to move house. I'm so lucky and thankful.
