Today, something funny happened. I had a class today, and one of my lecturers said that the amazon has several sites for different countries instead of the amazon.com, such as Japan, French. Suddenly she asked me, "have you ever browse to the the amazon for Japan?" Well, I just said "nope". Why I must browse that site, I am from Indonesia and I think if I browse to that website, I will not understand a single word in that site...hehehe......

I just confused a little bit about this, after we got through almost one semester and I ve already introduced myself at the first class that I am from Indonesia, she still thinks that I am from Japan. Strange......... Origato..... (don' know what the word means.... =))

There is a good news. Well, the lecturer gave me an accepted with major change status for my second draft. hahaha... I am so happy, because the number of students in my class is really small..only 8 people, I checked all the papers that were reviewed by the same lecturer. And guess what..... there are no other students who got the same status as I did. He gave a rejected status. So happy, don't know why. It might because my research skill is so bad and my english is in the same degree.... bad compared with other students. hehehe

Well, there are other two students who reviewed my paper, but I did not pay much attention to their reviews. Even one of the students rejects my paper, I am so confused with that, because at the first time he gave me accepted with major change status. and with all the revision I made, it did not make the paper better, but it became worse.... according him of course.

that's all and bye

At last I watched The Notebook movie today.....I didn't like at all..... The movie does not include many romantic parts that are available in the book.......

I recommend you to read the novel rather than watch the movie. Because you will feel how deep the love between them. From the letter that Noah gave to his wife and the letter that Allie gave to Noah before the she is serioussy ill.

that's all... Today I worked again at the hotel. The total guests who came to have breakfast were 70 people. Well, a little bit tired, I felt quite happy that three people worked today. Regularly, only two people work in one day. hehehe.....

I want to do my assigment for the rest of the day and I think I will go to bed sooner, because tomorrow I will work again for two hours.

Bye and God bless you

Today I bought a book titled "the notebook", a romantic kind of fiction book. The novel itself has 214 pages and suprisingly I could finish it in one day........ Maybe for you who often read fiction books, will feel completely confused with my statement. But do you know? that this is my first fiction book in ENGLISH that I can read until the ending.

The storyline of this book is amazing for me. It quite tells me about the endless love of a man to his one and the only woman that he wants to share love with. From the letter that was written from Noah to Allie or Allie to Noah, you can feel how beautiful their marriage life is. I think this book can become a great gift for a just- married couple. hehehe...... The book might give them an inspiration for not getting divorce... HAHAHAHA

I cannot wait to watch the movie. If you want to browse to this movie website: www.thenotebookmovie.com

welcome back to my blog......
at last, after several months I did not watch movie at theater, today I watched two movie at the same day. The first movie that I watched in this month was "wimbeldon". Well, I like this movie, because it is all about tennis.... one of my favourite sports....hihihihi....After I watched this movie, I want to play tennis, but... I do not have a friend to play with..hiks..hiks...well I must wait then.

After I finished watching this movie, I went to the place where I can buy another movie ticket (if i want to)... and I saw "the terminal" movie... well because today is the cheapest ticket day...I think it was a good idea to watch that movie.... So I bought a ticket for that movie.... Tom Hanks's acting is really really good in this movie, although I did not like the story line of that movie. I think that it went nowhere.....hihihi... and I agree with my friend's opinion about Tom Hanks being included in Oscar nomination for this year (or maybe for next year, not sure?)

ooo... I want to add something here....Before I watched the terminal movie, I found out that there are two movie that I thought would be really really romantic movies... The notebook and shall we dance?.....Do you know that both of the trailers.....only the trailers.... could make me cry? hahahaha....so funny isn't it?.... but because of that...... I am really really want to watch them....

bye and God bless you

Well, it seems I need a long period of time to update this blog. Finally, I have a story to tell to people who browse my blog. hehehehe......
I really want to write this story with my first language, but well, i must learn to improve my english skill...so.....this is my story with my bad english skill...hehehe

Yesterday, I met my favourite lecturer and she said that my paper is accepted to the CELDA conference as a short paper..... It's a kind of good news for me...because I believe that either my research skill or my writing skill is good.... so how come? but after I recalled the process that I went through when I made this paper , I remember that several parts of the research activity for this paper were helped by my lecturer and after I submitted it to her, I believe she had already edited the contents before she sent the first draft to the editorial committee. Even when I read the email about the paper acceptance, I noticed the title had already been changed. hahahaha....So I might have no idea what the current content of the paper is.

Moreover (my favourite word in every papers that I made for achieving my current degree), the conference itself will be held in Lisabon, Portugal , in December !!!! well, my lecturer cannot come to the conference, and she asked me to go there. Until now, I believe I must go there with my own money. Hmm, I must spend a big amount of money (approx $NZ2500) and I must give a presentation to the conference..... I think this one is not a good idea, I spend a money for giving a scary presentation?????? No.....way.....

Because of that, I just send an email to my lecturer to let her know that I cannot go to the place where the conference will be held. I do not have money for that kind of activity...hehehe... After some time she replied my email and she wrote that she will try to get a fund, if she can get that fund, I might go there, but if she cannot, I will not go to Lisabon and...and this is the sad part, our article will not be submitted to the conference....hiks...hiks

Bye...God bless you
