Rest In Peace

My mobile rang last night... Someone told me that Mr. Willy Setiardja has passed away...

I remember him well... He is my Latin language teacher when I was in Seminari Mertoyudan High School.

He is a very smart person but very low profile.... He masters many languages such as Latin, Greek, Netherlands, Portuguese, English, etc....

I love the way he taught.... sometimes he forced us to learn the vocabulary, grammar, etc... but sometimes he told us ancient stories... the one that I love was Trojan Horse.

His house is in Jogjakarta, it's 60kms from Magelang (our school)... and he went there couple of days in a week by bus.... I met him when he was more than 60 years old... he still taught us with full of spirits.

His brother, Gunawan Setiardja, is a professor of law in Soegijapranata Catholic University.

Mr. Willy, there are hundreds of students who pray for you and thank to you..... be in peace... we love you.

Amo et facio quod volo

(I love and do whatever I choose)

Absence makes love grow fonder

Well, yes.... absence makes love grow fonder.... not much to say :)

First provisional mark of this semester

Glad..... that's what I feel now...

What I'm afraid about is just this subject... it's a Haskell thing which learn about inference rules, induction proof, virtual machine, exception, concurrency, etc... but all are learnt in the concept level and simulated by using Min-HS language....

The first day, there were about 20 students in the class....

The third week, it becomes about 13 students....

and after the sixth week, it just 5 I think....

Anyway... I tried to love this subject... it's very challenging...

However... it's too difficult, huh..... I just got 60% off all the assignment, 50% on the mid exam, and 70% on the final exam.....

I'm doing well on the other subjects... but I felt that I will not pass this subject....

finally the provisional mark has came.... and I got... CREDIT.... yay...... I pass this subject.....

and I got the second rank of 5 postgrad students...... so, possibly no one gets more than CREDIT for this subject... heheh.....

It remains me on what I got from the last semester... I got the 10th position of 67 students... and it was CREDIT as well... If I'm not mistaken 22 of them were failed...

Well... study abroad is not as easy as we think.... but as long as we work hard... at least PASSED is easy, hehehe...... 

The concerto of the week

Many things happened this two weeks.... just like a harmony in a violin concerto (which I haven't finished since 4 months ago)

Last week :

  - Fortissimo: Finished the final exams, beers....

  - Pianissimo: Well sleeping... ahhh... after many weeks of the hell....

                      having cam session with family all day long... watching Andra riding his baby walker.... cancel all appointments.. hiks..

This week:

  - Jazzy at the first day... not much thing to do in the office..., pitching with friends and clients.

 - Staccato at the second day.... huh... project deadline is two weeks left... 40hours anyway...

 - jazzy again tomorrow.... Iphone tech talk...

   hope till weekend, hahah... many appointments anyway...

Wondering to continue the third page of eight pages concerto :D
