UK times

here we are in UK now :) the 3rd place of our erasmus program. We have 6 weeks courses at Camborne School of Mine, University of Exeter. what I found interesting here is that the university has almost the same facilities with the one in UNSW Sydney Australia, at least in the library.

Well we have 2 courses here which I think quite a repetition with the ones I studied in Aachen and Helsinki and also from my undergrad study. So, nothing really new here.

anyway, here are some video and pictures from my new accommodation in Penryn, Cornwall UK, really nice indeed!









and I am lucky to live here with Jens and Paavo. Jens (from Germany) is my roommate in helsinki and Paavo (from Finland) is a good cook! what a nice life. thanks God after all.

me and Paavo


and here is me and Jens, see how tall he is hehe..

Drielandenpunt: three countries point (belgium, germany & netherlands)

We were lucky to live close the border of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium and here are some pictures of the point where the highest altitude of those three countries met.

Back to school - 2 more weeks to go!

It feels nice to be back to university and meet all of my friends and lecturers, although i still need to see doctor regularly. But at least i made a progress. And time goes really fast that i just realized there is only 2 more weeks to finish the Aachen time then we will have 3weeks holiday. Hope i can recover well in that holiday. But to be honest i still dont have plan for my holiday. Bummer!

Another breakfast in hospital

I hope this will be my last breakfast in the hospital..
@Luisen Hospital Aachen

3 surgeries in 2 weeks

It is about one month since I left Helsinki to Aachen. And now it's about one week that I have to stay at Luisen Hospital Aachen because i got an abcess that needed to be operated and drainaged. I also got much bleeding last week because of the damaged arteries after the 1st operation. Apart of all, i am still grateful to Allah swt, for all the warning and chances given to me. I'm sure Allah will always here with me (like my mother's said) to help me and to give me a health.

I am still lucky that i got friends and some relatives that visited me in the hospital and gave me lot of spirit and courage to recover and of course my family that always pray for my health.

Here is my last photo after 2nd operation. Bismillah, im sure Allah swt will help me.

Life in Finland

well, it was long time ago since i wrote the last blog. and now i moved to different continent, which is Europe. Helsinki, Finland is the first destination, then Aachen-Germany, Exeter-UK, and Delft-Netherlands. Overall it is nice place to live although its bloody cold here, but I\'m sure I\'m getting used to it now.

just want to point out some differences between here (Helsinki) and my home country (Indonesia).
1. people eat rice with fork-knife instead of fork-spoon (at least in my university)
2. on the escalator or pedestrian you should be on the right side (if you don\'t want to get hit by bicycle)
3. need to pay 1EURO for peeing or pooing (bloody expensive), even in the railway station
