A Fork Will Do
I just realized that my hair now is getting longer and longer. That means I need to make it neat everytime I finish my shower. Several days ago, after took a shower, I looked into the mirror, wow my hair was so messy :D. I tried to find my comb but I could not find it. And then, AHA! I saw a fork near the washtub. Can you guess what happened next?

Prerequisite
At that time, I didn't fell well in my stomach. Yeah, nature call! I just rushed out from my room, and oh my God both of the toilets on my floor were occupied! Without thinking, I run again upstairs, and both of the toilets were available, finally! Ok, 1....2... minutes, I finished my obligation :D and then flushed the toilet. Suddenly I realized, I forgot to bring tissue roll!! Well, what's happen next? I don't want to talk about it :P

Win!
Several days ago, I visited Arya's blog and in his blog he mentioned that Bryan McKnight's song with the title "Win" can boost up your spirit. Filled with curiosity, I went to YouTube and searched the song. Well, the first impression was hmm..it's just a normal song. But after I listened carefully to the lyrics, I was like, wowwww! And now, "Win" is a must song for me everyday. If you're too lazy to listen to the lyrics, just read it here
Wanna know some other songs that can burn up your spirit? (At least it's working for me). Try these! :
1. Theme Song of Superman Returns by John Williams
2. Theme Song of Star Wars by John Williams
3. Under Pressure - Queen (London Symphony Orchestra)

Keep The Spirit Up!
Wow! Time goes by so fast! It's already near on the end of November which means this semester will end in one month. Still, I can't believe that I can still survive here in Eindhoven haha. Thks God! Ok, until now I haven't written about my experience here in Eindhoven. So, because I'm in lazy mode currently and I want to improve my English, I will write something right here, right now! If you notice grammar errors or something like that, please notify me :D So, I can learn from it.
1. Study
In the beginning I was thinking that there is no much difference between ITB and TU/e.Unfortunately I was completely wrong. After I entered the second month, the workload was completely insane. I cannot sleep well (only 4-5 hours a day), cannot try new experiment with cooking, cannot enjoy the weekend etc.
2. Friends
Surprisingly, there are 9 students from Indonesia this year and 6 of them live in the same place! The good side is I have many friends from the same country, the bad side is my English is not improving :-) After we know each other I feel that I found the subtitutes of my previous friends in Indonesia. I also make friends from another countries such as China, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and of course, Dutch! The students from China are very serious, I think I can see them everyday study in the library haha. They're just talking about academical stuff I think :D. But some of them like Dong Wei, Hai Bin, Simon Hui are funny and friendly. How about the girls haha ? Hmm, there are only few girls in the class that I attended namely two Dutch girls, Eva Ploum (very serious girl) and Ms. X, and only one Chinese girl (Sun).
3. Sports
In TU/e you can do any sports that you like. Of course, I choose badminton! Usually I played with Grant (another Indonesian student) and Jinxian Jian (chinese student). We usually play every Monday and Thursday. But to have a chance to play regularly, you have to pay a fee for 18 euro per year. There are many badminton courts here, about eight courts.And there is also a coach but I never trained under his supervision because I just want to having fun.
4. Weather
One word: unpredictable!
5. Recreation
If you type of a person that like to go to the shopping mall, forget it, Eindhoven is not for you. Actually there are shopping mall here but I think malls in my country are far more better than here. Instead of going to the mall we can go to the park for refreshing :D There are many parks and the parks are well maintained.
6. Language
I don't have time to learn Dutch language. So, everyday I talk in English with others. But don't think that my English is improved exponentially :D Since I talk with Indonesian everyday and it is very tempting to use Indonesian than English. Besides, if I talk in English with other International Students, their English are just the same with me.
7. Food
My menu here is very monotonic. Almost everyday I eat corned beef, eggs, and that's all :D I hate vegetables so I' seldom to eat broccoli, carrots etc. If my mother knows about this maybe she will get angry :D
TO BE CONTINUED?
