The Beautiful Suramadu Bridge
One week ago, the Suramadu bridge has been officially opened to public by the government. The bridge itself has a pretty good design and very good architecture. Suramadu bridge connects Surabaya and Madura. China has donated their money to help us build this bridge. Indeed, this is the largest bridge that we have in Indonesia. But the problem is, it’s not longer than 1 week since it has been opened and now the decoration lamps are missing one by one. There are some news told that the screws are starting missing too one by one. That news was reported by most of Chinese’s construction people who helped us to build this great bridge. Me, in the other sides just feel ashamed about this news. It shows us about how much we, Indonesian people, don’t show good manners to the world. I still remember how the bridge are very crowded when they launched it for the first time. It was, until 3 days later when they found that starting at the fourth day they must pay to cross the bridge. After that news, the people who get there starting to decrease a lot. At that time, I was just laughing hard reading this matter in my local newspaper. How about me? Hmm, I haven’t seen it live, even though I live near of that bridge. It just a bridge, and yeah I feel proud if this news won’t cover the newspaper. But after I read this news, I don’t know what should I feel. Proud or shame?
Welcome to Perfume World!
Well, after a long thought about this I decided to write this article. I’ll dedicate this article to Perfume so that many people can know their hardworks and passions. There are so many idol group in Japan and no one ever caught my attention. It was this group who can tempt me like this. At first, I like their dancing style. But after I hear all of their musics, I become attached to this kind of music. This techno pop music is very well composed and make people who hear it feel strong and happy. Their succesful streaks weren’t easy to get. I think I will tell the history of this group named Perfume. How they can be so famous like nowadays? How can they attract so many people to come see them? How can they become popular like this? I’ll explain it in the next paragraph. Read the rest of this entry »

U Aya Ueto Dresses
Lately I seldom giving Aya Ueto’s news; therefore, now I’ll give you all news related to Aya. Ok, here we go!!! Well, looks like there is a coincidence in here. I really love Aya Ueto, but I like Nocchi from Perfume as well. When Aya went to Hiroshima, Nocchi’s hometown, they met at the New Year party. This is a little evidence, taken from http://www.oscarpro.co.jp/talent/ueto/voice/index.html , translated by http://aya.rikku.nu/ :
“That night, Nocchi from Perfume was also there!! This was yet another unexpected meeting. I hope we can become good friends from now on. I will save up love for Nocchi in my love tank.”
Looks like they are befriend each other now. Hope they can make a good relationship like Aya and Becky. Go go go Aya, Go go go Nocchi!!!
Hehe, maaf saya lupa mengucapkan selamat natal dan tahun baru 2009. Yang pasti saya lama tidak menulis blog ini bukan gara-gara saya tidak lulus ya. Yap, saya lulus dari iSTTS dengan nilai A. Yayyyyyy, akhirnya saya bisa keluar dari universitas tersebut. Wuihhh, yang pasti last battle pada waktu ujian TA berlangsung sangat seru dan banyak kejadian yang menguntungkan saya. Kejadian-kejadian tersebut antara lain adalah ada dosen yang berhalangan datang pada waktu itu dan digantikan oleh dosen lain yang lebih “tidak killer” dan juga pada pertengahan sidang saat selesai presentasi dan demo program lampu pada ruang ujian mendadak mati. Wah saya harus berterima kasih pada PLN nih, karena berkat mereka ujian berjalan sangat “LANCAR!”. Yap, karena lampu mati tersebut buku saya lolos dari “kesalahan yang dicari-cari”. Dan berkat lampu dari layar laptop Sony Vaio saya, maka saya dapat menerangkan pertanyaan yang diberikan pada papan tulis. Yang pasti TA saya sukses dan mendapat nilai A.
Meskipun telah lulus, tetapi minggu lalu saya harus berjuang mengumpulkan banyak tanda tangan dan mengurus administrasi selama 1 minggu untuk syarat yudisium. Benar-benar susah, mau keluar dari iSTTS saja kayak mau keluar dari tempat penyiksaan. Setelah syarat yang benar-benar ga jelas, maka akhirnya minggu ini saya dapat sedikit santai dan menunggu sampai pembayatan. Yah, setidaknya saya sudah keluar dan “TAMAT!” dari universitas yang dirumorkan “Sekolah Tinggi Tamate Susah” tersebut. HOHOHOHOO ^^ Ah ya, karena akhir-akhir ini saya telah tergila-gila oleh grup music technopop jepang yang bernama Perfume, maka dalam waktu dekat ini saya akan mencoba untuk membahasnya pada blog saya =P.
Akhirnya, telah ditetapkan juga hari sidang TA-ku. Saat ini perasaan “ndredeg” dan tegangpun telah sampai padaku. Tepatnya tanggal 15 Desember 2008 hari Senin, akan diadakan sidang TA-ku. Dengan judul “Pembuatan Program Pengubah Citra Digital Menjadi Mosaic dengan Menggunakan Metode CBIR”, akupun siap maju. Nama programku adalah Ayasaic, dengan Aya yang berasal dari Aya Ueto dan Saic yang berasal dari mosaic. Sejauh ini setidaknya hasil yang diperoleh sudah bagus, tetapi saat ini aku akan mencoba untuk menambah beberapa fungsi yang dapat ditambahkan. I know I can do this, ganbare ore wa!!!!!!!
Akhirnya besok, hari kamis tanggal 20 November 2008 adalah hari pra-seminar. Pra-seminar adalah seminar TA sebelum seminar TA yang sesungguhnya, dengan kata lain pra-seminar adalah gladi resik seminar TA yang sesungguhnya. Di pra-seminar ini, saya harus menyiapkan slide dan mendemokan program saya seperti saat sidang TA yang sesungguhnya. Tetapi pada pra-seminar ini minus 3 dosen penguji, dan hanya dosen pembimbing saja yang datang. Semoga, pra-seminar yang besok akan berlangsung akan berjalan dengan baik dan lancar. Yoshh, hari ini latihan ngomong inggris buat slide dan menyiapkan seluruh program mosaic saya!!!
Note: Kalau dalam game RPG sih ini kayak lawan form ke 1 dari Final BOSS. Dan biasanya form ke 1 ini sih ga ada apa-apanya sama yang namanya form terakhir dari Final BOSS >_<
Hmmm… Akhir-akhir ini saya terkena sindrom mendengarkan lagu Hatsune Miku. Karena secara tak sengaja, ketika saya mengerjakan Tugas Akhir beberapa lagu Hatsune Miku masuk ke telinga saya. Awalnya sih tidak seberapa tertarik, sampai kemarin saya mendengarkan lagu terbaru dari Hatsune Miku yaitu “Last Night, Good Night” dan “Konnayuki” yang merupakan hits dari grup musik Jepang Remioromen. Sampai-sampai saya iseng-iseng mencoba membuat mosaic dari Hatsune Miku seperti yang di bawah ini:

Note: Happy 1st Birthday Miku chan, meskipun agak telat tetapi daripada kagak sama sekali hehehehe ^^
