Moving to Singapore

Guys…tomorrow I’m moving to Singapore, to study at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

I have to thank the following people. I can’t proceed to NTU and Singapore without their helps.

1. Users Forum TE UGM, especially Mr Prapto who inspired me to go abroad via graduate study.

2. Mr Abdi Pratama and Ms Sari Widiastuti. Their experiences in taking student exchange programmes really motivated me to take graduate study.

3. Members of beasiswa@yahoogroups mailing list, especially the moderators, Mr Yansen Darmaputra for the information that time, and Mr Anggiet Arifianto for his scholarship application suggestions.

4. Mr Lukito Edi Nugroho, Mr Adhi Soesanto, Mr Rudy Hartanto for their recommendation letters.

5. Mr Henry Johan, who will be my supervisor at Nanyang Technological University.

6. Tomoyuki Nishita-sensei, who introduced me to Mr Henry Johan.

7. Mr Andi Widyo Cahyono and Mr Bimo Sunarfrihantono, fellow alma mater of both Electrical Engineering UGM and Nanyang Technological University.

8. Mr Luhur Arief Bima and Mr Rendy Ruvindy, fellow Tjah JB, whom I could rely on so much when it comes to translation and letter-writing etiquette problems.

9. Fellow current and ex-scholarship hunters from TE 03 : Andi Hakim Kusuma (the first successful hunter), David Firnando Silalahi, Dhomas Hatta Fudholi, Sunu Wibirama, Fikri Waskito, Waskito Adi, Roni Irnawan, Ahmad Munasir Raf’ie Pratama, Beni Suranto.

10. Administrative staffs in universities, master programmes, and scholarship organizer institutions to which I applied.

11. My family, thanks or your morale and financial support.

Well…see you in Singapore!emoticon

Litani Buat Yang Sudah Merantau ke Luar Negeri

Akhir-akhir ini lagi sebel…

Lihat Irfan majang fotonya pas dia berdiri di deket Merlion jadi gambar YM (asli apa editan?)…
Lihat Bima majang fotonya di Belanda jadi gambar YM (betulkah?)…
Lihat Sunu majang logonya KMITL jadi gambar YM (dan asal comment-nya dia pun dari domain yang belakangnya .ac.th!)…
Lihat Dafferianto majang fotonya di Eropa di blog…
Lihat Lesnanto pake account email dgn domain fmi.com…

Awas kalian!!!
Walaupun domain ntu.edu.sg sepertinya sebentar lagi sudah bisa dipakai, tapi…
Nanti aku bakal foto di rumahnya Kurt Cobain!
Nanti aku bakal foto di kuburannya Jimi Hendrix!
Nanti aku bakal foto di kuburannya Isaac Newton!
Nanti aku bakal foto di kuburannya Galileo Galilei!
Nanti aku bakal foto di tengah George W Bush sama Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yang lagi salaman!! (emang mungkin ya? emoticon)

Damailah bumiku…

(Tapi sepertinya aku ga bakal lihat fotonya Joe duduk di kursi pengantin dengan Dian Sastrowardoyo ataupun Zaskia Mecca, apalagi maen sepakbola di Anfield dalam rangka Premiere League emoticon)

UPDATE 20 JUNI 2008 : Ternyata Irfan itu foto di deket Merlion versi Surabaya!! Ah sial ketipu…

UPDATE 10 JULI 2008 : Tambah satu lagi…Suci Karunia Prilistya aka Icus yang masang fotonya di Korea buat jadi gambar YM
