Should it be "n" turn, not "u" turn?




Offenders will be prostituted, oh sorry, perhaps prohibited, no it must be prosecuted....

Hiduplah Indonesia Raya

Happy Independence Day to my beloved Indonesia

Today is the the 62th of Indonesian independence day. We are invited by the Consulate General of Indonesia in Sydney to have a flag ceremony and gathering at Wisma Indonesia Rose Bay. Hem... great experience to have a flag ceremony here. The most important is we can meet many Indonesian there (Even, Sydney is full of Indonesian, he2...).These are some pictures of this occasion.

Courses have started

Session two has started. Now, I'm fully a student. My first course is Human Computer Interaction. HCI is a course that learning about how should we design something for end user. He2.. this is something that I like, because this course has a strong relation with psychology and arts, not only computer science.
I spent my weekend in Canberra and Snowy Mountain. I realized that I'll be busy with my courses after the session start, so I decided to spend my time travelling to other state and finding new experiences.
Together with Ppia Canberra, I went to Snowy Mountain (3hours from Canberra). Something weird was Sydney much colder than snowy mountain, hem...
The weather was very good, sunny and the snow was very tick. I played toboggan and learnt to play sky. He2... it was very interesting.
I slept at Dian's apartment in Australian National University (ANU) Unilodge together with Jati and Ichsan. I found that Canberra is a quiet city. I went to Questacon (Museum of Science and Technology) and it was really interesting. I tried the zero gravity simulation (free fall) and I swear I'll not try it again, hem... Visiting museum in Australia is a great way to relax and learn something new. It is a popular activities here. Hopefully students in Indonesia love the same.

Kuringgai, The Great Walker

Saturday, July 14, 2007... I woke up early and caught the bus to Central Station. There, I met Dian, Ichsan and Jati. We bought 4 train tickets to Mount Kuringgai.
Mount Kuringgai is located 60km north of Sydney. It has a great view and it is one of a national park in NSW.

The great North Walk sign.... jati and me (right)



We decided to take the Great North Walk route from Mt. Kuringgai Station to Berowa Station. It was 10km (5 hours walk)
I can say that it was a fantastic journey. We walked along the river and finally found a lake (unfortunately we didn't go to the lake because it was 5pm and we must catch the train)

The Leader... A-ehm




Dian and Ichsan..




I do believe Indonesia's bush walking or national park is better than here. The different is that in here, everything is well maintained: safety, clean, etc... If our park is maintained well... I think I'll not spend my weekend to go to the mall, he2.....
