>>1150 [Jurnal gambit] [Hari 8] 2008-6-15 Pertama kali pake opera 9.5 buat pos mlt.
Today is also lilo's birthday.
This is Sunday and I want to go to church. I set up an alarm at 831. I wake up at 820
but I think I can sleep more so I rely on the alarm to wake me up. But I don't know what
happen, when I wake up it is already at 10! I check my mobile and find that the mobile
is hang! cannot turn off and press any button. After restart, the mobile show 3 messages,
from wihu tias medo. All say approximately "i have been waiting downstairs, where are
you, etc".
I feel very surprised and anxious and nervous and try to call tias but not connected so
i call wihu and find that all have gathered at student centre. I don't bathe, brush teeth
only. Then I run to student centre but oh no it is raining. There is a stack of newspapers
in the exit of the dorm so I take one sheet (i hope it's ok) to be used as an umbrella.
I run and jog and walk until I meet them all and say sorry more than 3 times.
I am happy because medo join although he was not confirmed yesterday.
So our indonesian team tour starts. We start by taking photos on the MIT UFO front.
Get some weird photos but it is interesting. Then move to harvard bridge. We discuss about
when usually go with my team we don't take photos with person in foreground, but
for now we can take it like that, more personal. So we take more photos, go to front of
Prudential mall and go inside!
Directly go to game shop. Tias wants to buy PSP. I ask the price and it is 170usd.
I ask about can play downloaded games but I think they know about it but don't dare
to say. I want to buy it too. After converting to sgd it is 242sgd (including tax).
But since don't already know how to mod, left for later.
Go around and see duck tour so expensive so don't take it. See public toilet with 25c
for entrance and max 25 minutes time, will open the door by itself. But (now in the writing
time of this entry i regret it) I didn't check the inside.
Go again towards downtown since wihu suddenly need to cancel going to church and meet
his team instead. I disappointed. We rush and wihu is forward. We take photos
of boston commons with the Squirrels. And also eat Cashews very warm and nice spices.
Suddenly wihu call to state that his meeting is canceled so i am happy.
We go to Burger king just beside the church and eat Smoke something so nice but
make cough easily. Eat hurry and go to Park church which contain MRII Boston.
Inside it I ask if there is indonesian people or something called MRII, they dont know.
I ask them to open google, type mrii boston, click first result. They understand immediately.
^^
It turns out that only 4 people in MRII Boston. So we greet and ask ask each other.
Then service starts. Similar to GRII Singapore. But using vcd for the sermon.
After that all the 4 people invited us to dinner together at Super88 market. They take
us by car. First time ride car in US. So happy and ask about parking fee. About 25c
per 15 or 30 minute but in a parking space can be 10$ per hour due to protection
from snow rain etc.
In super88 there is foodcourt containing chinese, thai, korean etc stalls. I eat korean
beef rib No bone very nice but full.
In the end of the journey we ask to be sent to Boston university after which we
walk across the bridge to Memorial drive and go home.
Take photos again with low shutter speed on front of the dorm.
See fire brigade coming to the neighbor dorm but seems nothing happens.
Laundry for first time. Pay 75c for laundry. 25c for the drier which is still wet. Now i will
sleep. My team mate skot is not going to church today, lucky i didnt make promise
to go with him.
