Istana Plaza - Bandung 2009

One day in 2009, I remembered how and where we first met. It was in Department of Mathematics of Institute Technology Bandung. We were students of this university. Some of us enrolled in 1999 and some of us enrolled in 2000.

Four years had been passed and we took our steps separately. We were still contacting each other though, via the most useful communication at that time, email.

Let us skip the history and go back to the present time. In March 2009 we met again after so many years. It was unfortunate that there were other friends that were not there. However, that other friends were not satisfied to the fact that they could not meet and share each other's stories so we made a second get together in May.

Apparently, the third, is going to be tonight.
I ll see you there folks.

Melbourne City - 2008

Perhaps you do not believe it but it was really my bike. I still have the bike even though I do not have it right now as it is now in Melbourne while I am somewhere else.

The bike helps me to adjust my first few months in Melbourne. When I did not have my bike, I was always afraid if I missed my bus, as a consequence I'd have to walk to my house which is quite far. So, instead of planning to catch a bus to get home from work I choose to ride my own bike.

This photo was taken by Sonnya. She is quite good as she was able to take the above photo which became one of photos that I really like. After having some gathering with all of my mudikan friends, we went to city of Melbourne to have a coffee.

La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary

In the picture at the left, you are looking at the La Trobe wildlife sanctuary. I was in one of the natural places in La Trobe University, where I studied for my degree.

There are me, Lennaert, Dave, Ya Juan and Will. They are my collagues. There is also one more of my collagues, who was the one taking this photo. She is Priscilla.

La Trobe University is very nice. It is located quite far away from the city, therefore it still has natural attractions. The sanctuary has many animals that people not from Australia would like to see. There are kangaroos, kakatua birds, and many native Australian animals.

We were there to take Ya Juan that was about to leave the country. She has never seen Australian native animals so we took her to the sanctuary.
