HELLO HELLO HELLO AGAIN TUESDAY

HELLO HELLO HELLO AGAIN PEOPLE!!!

Hahahah, too excited, huh? lol. I'm studying in the library right now, still doing some revisions for FES's essay which makes me feel sick already -__- Have no FES lesson tomorrow, so my first lesson tmrw is at 2 p.m. That's why I can stay up late tonight..

  Well, the weather is not very good today, it's raining all day long, I woke up quite late and went to George Fox with Erin at 10. Because it was raining and the road was slippery. I fell!!! Yeah I fell on the street! It was so embarrassing! I don't even want to remember about it anymore, hahah. Then after we arrive, waiting to get into the classroom. And you know what! That class is canceled! Yes canceled! I was happy and mad at the same time. Why don't they announce it by email or moodle?? I have to wake up early, go to George Fox in the middle of rainy morning, fell on the slippery road. And when I arrived, the class is canceled. gahh -___- hahah :D

   Well, just had my BS1's coursework writing assessment this afternoon :) Feel kinda relieve now, hahah, the assessment is.. so far so good for me. Well I've done my best, I hope I can achieve a good mark. :) Have 10 minute tutorial for FES essay as well today. And my first draft is quite good, I could say, hehe. Although still there are some grammar errors, need more references, need to change the sentences into passive, and bla bla blahhh :p

I have become quite productive nowadays, hehe.. At least have 2 hours for study everyday. Better than before, at least.. lol. Well, the only reason I become this productive is,, because of math -__- 

   Always studying while listening music, from iTunes, or youtube. And yeah, studying while listening to Super Junior KRY's songs is very very lovely <3 Just watch their whole Japan concert and download it :D Those videos will accompany me every time I study :)

 Studying math while watching youtube ;;)

Oh ya, 3 days ago is my best friend, Ivana's birthday. Made a simple handwriting greetings from Lancaster then scan it and upload it into Twitter and Facebook, hehe. Some of the sentences were cut because of the scanner actually but well, glad that she like it :)

Then then then,,,, googling further information about Rotterdam School of Management. My ideal future university for my Master degree. And found out that actually I can study undergraduate in that school full in english!! hahaha,, suddenly had a simple regret about choosing Lancaster, lol. But well, maybe this is my fate, right? lol, to come to Lancaster, to meet my friends now, and maybe God will let me come to Rotterdam School of Management School for my master :) *Amen*

   But, just check out about the requirement for the degree that I want to choose which is..

MSC FINANCE & INVESTMENTS (sounds cool even from the name, huh? hahahah)

The requirement is quite high,, because I need to get the 2nd class honor, make a cv, bla bla blahh.

And just like my Indonesian senior said, it's kinda hard to apply for master degree in another university.

Exception if you want to continue master in Lancaster, which is a big no for me. Oh please, 4 years is Lancaster is totally enough for me! lol Well, although lancaster is a high ranked university in the UK. But still, it's not that famous in Asia. If you apply for a job in europe, yes they will totally know Lancaster and its high ranked. But in Asia, still Lancaster has no name. Different with Rotterdam School of Management!! hehe.. And the degree I'll earned in 12 months from there is..

Master of Science in Finance and Investments (MScFI)

If I successfully choose finance as my undergraduate degree major, my title will be : Bsc (Hons) Finance

Well, still think twice to go to Rotterdam actually, because Rotterdam is a very very big city. The cost living is very high, it's one of the most dangerous city in the Netherlands. And, one thing. I can't ride a bicycle :( if I want to study in Holland, at least I should know how to ride a bicycle first ;;) 

   Well, it's still 3-4 years later, let's just take care of all my courseworks first now, hahah.. 

Oh ya, Me & my friends are going to cook pasta with sausages this weekend. Gahhh can't wait for weekend >< hehe.. Craving for delicious foods.... 

I hope the weather will be really fine tomorrow!!

    And yeah! Almost forgot about this important news!!! My mom is going to Bangkok on 26th-1st Dec!!! Yeeee I was so happy when I heard this news :") Though she's not really happy with this traveling package still I felt happy because I know she really deserve it :")

God is really good!!! After all of the hardship through this year, He gives another vacation to her. 

My mom has travelled to Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore for free. Next Dec she'll go to South Korea with dad and this nov, Bangkok!

   So grateful though our family haven't had a chance to travel to Asia. She already had a chance to go to that countries. This year (2012) my mom has travelled to Australia, Singapore, East Europe, Bangkok and next, South Korea.

She becomes the one who travelled the most in my family and have a lot of Visa, hehe..

 Here are the countries my mom has ever visited :

China (2)

HK (2) 

Malaysia

Singapore (3)

Vietnam

West & East Europe

Australia

Thailand

South Korea

   Trip to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, and Vietnam are all free. See, how good God is.  She never ask to travel to that countries and He gives my mom a chance to go to there :") She never have a goal about something but from all of the things she has done, He knows what He should give to her as a return.

On thing I never forget from my mom. She always said that she and my dad started from nothing at first. They just live normally, without asking, just receive and be grateful. She always said that we don't need to be really ambitious if we want to have something. Just keep it secretly in our mind, live simply, be grateful. And God always knows our needed and if we live in a right way and serve Him always. He'll give more that we ever expected without our order. That's the way my mom can survive and have everything she need now. Not because she always work hard to get it, but because she just live rightly, and God will give everything she ever wanted and even more than in to her.

    I really adore her. She's the most precious person in this world for me. I swear, after I become succeed, the first thing I'll do is to make my mom feel happy :")

         So, my laptop is about to die because of running out of battery :p so, that's all for today! 

Have a good days ahead people!!! 

Keep the faith, do your best, and do enjoy every second of your life!

Good night and cheers from Lancaster,

Jeslyne =)

Things Left To Do

Hello again ppl. It has been 43 days since I first arrived in Lancaster. Time flies, huh?
Well, just did the BS1's presentation on last Friday, have submitted the first draft for FES's essay, and so only half of it are still left to be done. Gonna make some revisions for FES essay this Monday, BS1's writing assessment on Monday too. Submit the essay on 27th Nov. Then FES's group presentation on the 3rd of Dec. And so after that, done with all of my courseworks for this term. Only final exam left on 8th-14th Dec. Then on 14th at midnight I'll go to the airport by train. In the morning fly to Dubai. And last, on Sunday evening I'll be arrived in Jakarta.
   Well, of course I feel worried about the exam, especially math, because I'm not really good at math. And I've never learnt math in english before. Then especially because we only have math on this term. And the requirement to get into LUMS is I have to get 70% on math. That's why this math exam is extremely important. If I can't reach 70%, I won't have a second chance and so the result is. I can't get into LUMS.
   Not only need to worry about my grades, I must worry about my mom in Indonesia too. Too many complicated things happened with her and I can't do anything because I was not there.  
   Well, just can do my best and always pray for anything can getting better then. I have to study harder and harder, do my best for the coursework, do my best on the exam. Hopefully I can get the best mark and every problems can be solved.
   I didn't miss the things I have or the things I can get in Jakarta. The only thing I care about in Jakarta is only my mom. And it's not because that I'm too childish that I can't be separated from mom. The only reason is, I know her condition right now, being left by all people where she can lean onto. I never wanted it to happen to her but still, I have no other choices. What should I do then?

   Well, forget about my stories. I've made a list of things to do and things to eat during my holiday in Jakarta. And so, here it is :

1. Bakerzin
2. Magnum Cafe
3. Honey Bread EX
4. Nasi Padang
5. Gado-gado
6. KFC
7. 킴 치 지 개 - 한 강
8. Chinese food
9. Bakso kwetiauw pedes
10. XO Suki Tomang
11. Kwetiauw siram
12. Pizza Hut
13. Bubur Ayam
14. Martabak manis
15. Siomay bumbu kacang
16. Ayam goreng sambal terasi
17. Bakpao
18. Teh poci Sate Khas Senayan
      (still have many others actually, just haven't put it into the list)

6. Go to PJ with chika, starbucks, watch movie, go to karaoke
7. Go to Gandaria City and watch iMax with chika

Chika will come back to Jakarta on the 4th January :( such a pity we can't enjoy Christmas and New Year together :( She's the only one that I can lean onto :(
Well we have about a week together, so I swear I'll spend every day to hang out and have fun with her..

Don't know what to do actually, that's why I make a post like this. 
Just can hope everything will be better :(


Good night and lots of love from Lancaster,

Hello again Wednesday

Hello again Wednesday! Yeah tomorrow is Wednesday and it means. My holiday has just over :( hahaahh :D
Well, have been quite busy for the past few days. I went to Edinburgh yesterday (yippie!) with my friends from Indonesia, Hong Kong and Bangladesh. We do have lots of fun. (Will post about Edinburgh later, still waiting for photos from my friend) On Sunday I'm just lazying around, did my homework little by little. Monday, another day of lazying around and did my homework, hehe.. And finally it's Tuesday! My holiday is over! 
I just finished my FES's first draft (finally), 80% finish with BS1's coursework. And I am having a presentation this Friday! So nervous and just can hope everything's gonna be okay .__.
Well, so. The first thing I wanna talk about is. I miss my home :( and my house. I miss my own bedroom, my dinner table, my living room, etc, everything in my house!! 

 Living room. Perfect place for lazying around

I spent almost all of my time in this room on holiday. Watch DVDs, sleep, eat, study, etc..

Second one, as I've mentioned before, almost finish with BS1's coursework, and that's because I just did it this evening with my group, hehe. Took some picture with my best friend at class too. Her name is Sherry from China. :)

And all of us in group are using the same macbook pro :D

Then, me & Trang & Cherry were studying in the library last Sunday's night. Studying together give a lot of good impacts for us, hehe. And, never forget to take some photos after studying ;;) lol

And, last one! on the upcoming 15th November is my lovely sister's birthday! Just bought a card for her yesterday, and ready to send it to Australia tomorrow morning! I write a lots of words on the card. And, maybe it's ended up quite messy, lol. But, yeah. I've done my best. Hope she like it! And here are some pictures of the card :)

 my handwriting 

The envelope

 cover of the card

Wrote it will all these stuffs :D

Well, that's all for today. Have BS1's presentation this Friday and writing assessment on next Monday! Please please please wish me luck!! hehe...

Will post about Edinburgh after this post. (Maybe tomorrow or few days later, hehe)

Good night & good morning & good day world! No matter what time is it in your place now. Have a very good day everyone!

"Be ever grateful, keep positive, chin up, and smile! Have a VERY GOOD day people!!!"

Cheers from Lancaster,

Jeslyne =)

I'm not ready for November!!

First of all, Good Night and Happy Halloween ppl!

Hmmm, how's our week so far guys? This week is kinda awful for me. :( 

Just heard a very bad news from my sister this morning. And that problem can't get out from my head til now, then I have a lots of things to do for my coursework. 

My tutor just give the details about our coursework this Monday, and asked us to submit it on 8th November. Can you believe it? We only have 10 days to do that coursework in group! She supposed to give the details since last week, but she's late and now we have to do it in a rush. Though next Monday and Tuesday is holiday. We still have many many homeworks. I have to make my first draft for FES essay, FES homeworks, Math homeworks, BS1's business plan and the presentation as well.

And, the due date for BS1's coursework and FES's first draft is on the same day! I feel like gonna die soon :s 

You know, when you feel bad, and when you look out there and the weather is awful. You'll feel totally worse! It's very gloomy in here. Very cold, and it's getting colder and colder from day to day. No sun. I wish I was in Jakarta, when I'm sad at least when I see out there there is sun who is still shining brightly and give me strength. Here? The rain just can make me feel even worse :s

And, it's getting colder and colder nowadays, I have no proper jackets. I want to buy but it's expensive. I have to save money in here, so I totally can't buy all things I want and spend all the money that easily.

My tutor have ever told me a few weeks ago that November is a really stressful month or some international new student in Lancaster. Cause we have a lot of works to do, and the weather is awful, we started to think back about our hometown all the time. Everything seems just getting worse, like what I feel right now :s

Well, I'm feeling totally bad right now. I have to think about all of my assignments, think about my family, think about my sister's problem, think about money and all my expenses here, and thinking about the weather when I have no proper jacket to welcoming winter.

I have no one to talk about all of this problems, and so I just can leave all of my confession in here, which is my personal blog. If you know my twitter account, I started to tweet some unimportant tweets to confess my feeling. Well that's me, when I tweet a lot, it means I am sad at that moment. When I tweet nothing and just retweet other ppl's tweet. It means I'm totally fine. Can't bear to tweet those silly sad words although I know it will make some ppl feel irritated. Well, sorry if you guys feel so, but I totally have no other way to confess my feeling right now.

I have my friends in here though, and they're having some other problems as well, with their classmates, etc. It makes me awake and make me feel a little bit better. Cause by hearing their not very good story, I know that, it's not just me who is feeling bad right now. Some other ppl feels like that too and yeah, I'm not alone. So, let's just think positive. I hope I can solve all of these problems as soon as possible.

Just can work harder and hope everything's gonna be fine at the end. (Amen) This 2 weeks is gonna be quite tough for me. Started to get busier and busier. Hope I can do my best to pass all of this too complicated things.

So, hello November!!! Usually I always feel excited when welcoming November and December cause it's getting closer to the end of the year. But now? No I'm not excited as well. I can't welcoming November nicely because of the weather, lol. Seriously I'm not ready for the end of autumn especially winter :( 

Hm,, that's all, well just ignore this post guys, all of this words are simply about my not really important confession. Let's work hard to make everything better. Just like my sister (Evelyn) said

"It can be done. It must be done."

My advise : when you feel bad, down, depressed (just like my feeling right now). Go out and talk to your friends, when you found out that other ppl are having problems as well. You'll realize that you're not the only one who is down right now. 

It's normal to be stress and down. But you should know how to get up too, to work harder and harder then to solve all your problems. Well, this is life. There are blessings, but there are problems too. You can feel very bad, but you can get up and feel happy again. Just like a roller coaster. Life's all about up and down.

Just like TOP's rap in "STILL ALIVE" song

"We're living that, we're living that GOOD LIFE"

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's learning how to dance in the rain!"

"I'm not okay, you're not okay, and that's okay!!!"

Cheers from Lancaster,

Jeslyne =)
