Exciting Weekend

   Helloooo it's Sunday tomorrow ^^ Perfect day to have a rest, hehe :)
Well, just passed another week in Lancaster :) this week is quite fun. Have no really many classes to attend. Then, yesterday, Indonesian society had another meeting. We eat "bakso" which is really really delicious!!! ^^ I ate 2 bowls of "bakso", hahahah.. drink cokes, ate snacks, had fun, bla bla blah...
   Lucky is that some of the Indonesian society members are mothers, who are really really good at cooking. So when we meet we can eat their delicious fresh made Indonesian food. hehe..
   And, you know what? I feel proud to know that there are some Indonesian who are working as a lecture in Lancaster University Management School. So proud of Indonesia :)

 BAKSO MALANG ALA LANCASTER =)

 THE FOOD :D

Sharing session :

Chery & Kak Qisha :)

   Talked with a lot of seniors which gave me a lot of new general knowledges during the sharing session. Started from talking about neo-libelarism and the western countries, until talk about our own country, Indonesia, with every wrong decisions our government has made. The sharing session ended at round 9 pm. Then stay a little bit longer because of talking about Korean drama with Kak Qisha, my senior. Ended up gathered as another small group then continue our conversation until 10:30. 
   Well it hasn't come to the end at 10:30. We decided to go to Graduate Bar. Where some of my senior live in there, the Graduate college. It's my first time in life to get into a bar. hahah, just have a sit for about 10 minutes because actually non of us want to have a drink that night. Move on to another location....
   We went to Mbak Desy's flat. Gathered in her kitchen. Eat snacks, drink hot chocolates. Continue talking about bla bla blahhh lol.. There are 9 of us in the kitchen. Kak Haikal, Kak Firza, Bari, Kak Dhani, Kak Qisha, Mbak Desy, Adriana, Chery and me :D
   Wanna know what time we finish our talk? The answer is at 03:40. hahhaha, yes, around 3 am in the morning!!! crazy huh? lol this is my first time to stay out of home until this late. Around 2-3 in the morning Mbak Desy cooked rice and so we ate that hot rice with "ikan teri balado" original from Indonesia. Believe me, it was really really delicious!!! hahahah
   We talked about a lot of things about this and that. Found out that actually Kak Dhani already had a girlfriend, who is living in the US right now, Stanford. And, while talking about food and I mention about Pluit-Muara Karang. Only Kak Dhani knows where pluit is because actually he lives at Pluit Timur!! lol.
   The more funny thing is, actually his parents open 2 chinese herbal pharmacy in Pancoran!! A area which is very very familiar for me.. hhahaha what a small world!!
   Finish our talk at 03:30, we got back to Pendle with the boys, but because I have to take my bag first at Chery's room. I ended up going back to Bowland alone :s hahahha but this university is very very safe though, which is very good though I'm a girl. Even Kak Haikal have to catch the last bus to get back to his home in the city, lol.
   That's Friday. I went to bed at around 5 in the morning. Woke up at 10. Go to the city center with Erin & Chery. Groceries in Sainsbury's. We spent about 2 hours in there, lol. Chery keep struggling while choosing the right butter and cheese with the least calories. Erin has a lot of things to buy. Me? I only bought milk, some pack of hot chocs and one dark kit kat. Have bought bananas and pears before though in the market..
   One thing I love from Saturday, every morning I get to see a beautiful view from the bus while on the way to city. It's very very beautiful (for me) seriously. Green wide field. The trees's leaves are starting to change its colors. Some sheeps, goats. Parks where the children were playing. And the sunshine! Luckily almost every Saturday it's always sunny in Lancaster which is very good! hehe.
   Had lunch for again and again at Mc Donald today, hehe.. Here is the story, actually, we never want to eat at Mc Donald. But on our bus ticket. There is a discount for buying Big Mac, Mac Chicken, or Fish burger with medium fries for only 2 pounds! Very very cheap right??!! (especially if you order Big Mac) :p that's why, we don't want to waste every opportunity we have because it means that was a waste of money if we did it, lol. Today is the fourth times I eat McD every Saturday!! lol. I'm already totally fed up with it. Definitely not going to McD again this Saturday (I hope) lol.
   Then for dinner!! We have PASTA!!! hahahha cook pasta with Erin & Chery. Bolognese pene with sausages. Very very delicious ^^

OUR BOLOGNESE SAUSAGES PENE ^^ 

   After dinner me & Erin did the laundry and study in the library while waiting. 98% finish with my FES essay. Will print it out on Monday and I really really hope it can make my tutor feel satisfied enough. Seriously can't wait to finish this essay! lol. Well, have to finish another homework tomorrow but it's not that much ^^

Pic taken by Erin. Lol my hair is already that long :D

pic of Erin taken by me at library :) 

   Time flies, huh? Next week I have to attend all classes again, back to normal. Then on the following week is the essay's due date. The next following week is the FES presentation week (hope all the best for this), then after that? FINAL EXAM!!!! On Friday at the exam week. I'll go to the airport and fly back to Jakarta! Yippieee ^^ Just a few weeks left..
   Well, on Monday/Tuesday my BS1's coursework result will be out. Hope I can get a good score!! :) And so what is left is only FES essay which is almost done and the presentation ^^ Have to study more for math though. But yeah! Let's do this! hehe
   Heard some good news and bad news as well on this week from Indonesia, well. Just can hope everything is still fine and it can be okay at the end :) Will call mommy tomorrow, I miss her *hug*
   And here are some pictures of my laptop's desktop picts :)

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 =)

Well, just wanna post some random story and picts, so enjoy!

me & my sister about 1-2 years ago. I miss her! 

 Skype

 My oldest sister's drawing of our family :D

 My mom with 'Akang', my lovely kangaroo doll!

 Dad at Starbucks Hayam Wuruk Plaza

I have some dolls at my room. Let me introduce you one by one with them. There are Akang, Mongji, Jeremiah, Ralph, and Denzel. First, the eldest one, Jeremiah, a siberian husky doll I bought in Germany, 2010. Then there's Akang the kangaroo and Denzel the Koala. My mom and my sister bought them in Australia's zoo. Then, the magnae, a very cute St. Bernard dog doll which is a present from the tour guide in my east europe tour last September. And Mongji. Actually Mongji is my sister's doll. She bought it in Adelaide but then she brought it in Jakarta and so since then Mongji is mine! hehe.

Why do I name them Denzel, Jeremiah, Ralph, Akang, and Mongji? For Ralph, Jeremiah and Denzel. Well it's just because I like that names. For Mongji, don't know why. I just named him Mongji (maybe there's a reason but I forgot). In Adelaide his name isn't Mongji but since he arrived at my home I changed his name. lol. And, Akang! I name his Akang because you know Chinese man's name in Indonesia mostly started with A (Atjun, Ayin, Aliong, Akian), etc. And so before I thought of a western name. I started to call him A with Kang from Kangaroo. And after think much about it, I decided Akang is a good name. Because Kang is my bias, Daesung's surname as well, hehe (if you didn't understand, yeah just forget it, it's not important). But I'll bring Akang with me when I go back to Lancaster next January so maybe I have to give him a western name as well, hahahah..

 Mongji with Akang

 Jeremiah

 Oh ya, there's mongji's girlfriend in Adelaide. We haven't found a name for her! :p

Tod's flat shoes. I want this shoes soooo bad. Try this one at a sotre in Milan, when all the employees were busy, I tried to fit it then take a photo secretly, hehe..

 Knowledge is a currency without inflation.

 Me & Mom, miss her so bad :"(

 Mom&Dad. I miss them. :"(

 Hoila! Train tickets from Lancaster to Manchester airport on 15th dec. I'm ready to go home!! :D

And now, just wanna share some photos of Super Junior Boy in city season 4 in Paris. They're so cool in this pict. <3

Screen cap of Daesung in Family Outing <3

Heechul wearing thick eyeliner. <3

Next next next,,,

remember my Indonesian senior in Lancaster, Haikal Bekti Anggoro? I've talked about him in previous post, and just check out his CV for UK's Indonesian Society's president election this morning. And look at his scores! Amazing!!! He achieved first grade in his first year. And all his scores in foundation year makes me wanna cry by just looking at it! :") lol, yeah, the thing is Haikal might be the first Indonesian who study in ISC Lancaster. And so me & Chery are the next generation of Indonesian ppl in ISC Lancaster history. When I saw his score, the first thing I tell to myself is "wow. His score is amazing! I must get high score too in my foundation year. So I won't leave bad impression as Indonesian student"

You know, he might be the first Indonesian, and his score is that good. That's why don't know why, I feels like have responsibility to continue his good work! To present Indonesian student's good work in front of ISC Lancaster. The requirement for his degree is only 70 in math and 70 for overall. But, look at his scores! So, I made a promise to myself that I'll study hard and do my best! So me & Chery can continue Haikal's good work as Indonesian student, hehe.

And, this is a  screen cap photo of my best friend, Ivana's blog. :") There's my name : Jeslyn (Jeslyne)

Cheers from Lancaster,

Jeslyne =)

First Post

Hello people!!!

This is my first post in this blog (ya cause I just created it a few minutes ago, lol :p), so just wanna tell you guys some basic information about me. My name is Jeslyne Yunita Ho. You can call me Jeslyne :)

I'm currently living in the UK. In a small city named Lancaster located in North West England, which is famous because of its Lancaster University (where I'm studying). I'm chinese and I come from Indonesia.

(my family : me, mom, Evelyn, Yessica, dad) ; 2010

I was born and live in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia for 17 years. And so after I have finished my 2nd year of senior high school and celebrate my 17th birthday. I decided to go abroad to continue my study.

I have a lovely family in Jakarta, my dad, mom, and 2 older sisters. My oldest sister have graduated from an university in Australia and so right now she's working in Jakarta. My second sister, Yessica. She's currently live in Adelaide, South Australia for her education (Le Cordon Bleu Adelaide).

I arrived in Lancaster a month ago. I begin my study with business & management foundation year in International Study Centre Lancaster University for 10 months. And so next October I'll continue to Lancaster University Management School (Amen!)

Well, that are almost all about me. Actually I have never thought of having a blog before, but since I'm bored right now. So I suddenly have an idea to create a blog.

Cheers from Lancaster!
