Makassar, Day Three (200906)

September 20th, 2006 by fiorelino

After seeing those movies I falled to sleep again until 03.00 .. today morning.. ouch!! I thought I have to make copies of my presentation, so I could give all chief of the installation, but I have to compile the presentation  again, changed some of words in german to english and then I made some questionnaire for physician, patient, nurse, staff and of course chief of installation.

It took me sometime to think about what kind of questions I would like to ask them. I finished all things at 07.00. I took a bath and directly went to the copy shops  to print, copy and bind all materials.

It took hours and hours to finish only 6 copies !! Although I helped them too. Today was sooooo many customers. Anyway it was 10.30 when I left the copy center.

It begins the hardest part … finding chief of installation. When I got there, I went first to emergency installation. Unfortunately for me, there was a seminar, so the chief was busy so I couldn’t see him. So I took the time to see around. I let my self to make some pictures and film.

After waiting around one hour, I decided to go to other installation, which is COT. but on the way to that installation I saw a canteen, so I thought I would have a lunch first.

After having lunch I went to COT. Unfortunately it was also a busy installation, there were so many patients waiting in the corrider, so I change my mind and went to the ward Lontara II.

There I welcomed by nice nurses. Unfortunately (again) I couldn’t find the chief, because he was already left to other appointment… well they are very very busy person… But I got a chance to take a picture of those nurses. I wish I could take a picture of the rooms too… but I think, I had to have permission of the chief of the installation.

Until that time I had still nothing…ouch!!  I went to EDP around 14.00. As I expected before, they were there and they were not as busy as the other …:-) They welcomed me very nice and I got impression that they are interested with this technology, which is I already expected.

I gave a presentation about MAS and its application in some fields such as in supermarket, supply chain and of course in the hospital. I told them also the reason why I’m in Makassar. Finally I gave them my questionnaire and also a CD which contain some films and lectures about MAS. The visit to EDP was erfolgreich.

After EDP, I went to the medical record installation, and before entering the ‘komische weg’ into that installation, I took a picture about ASKES procedure.

Again I couldn’t find the chief of medical record installation. But I could look around of their places… they were thousands of pink folder.. I guess I would take a picture tomorrow. Before I leave the installation, I took some pictures of them in front of reception.

I went again to IRD to see whether I could find their chief. urghhh I still didnt have a luck to see him. One of physician, named umi told me that he is very busy person, coz he speech every where. So I gave her all materials I have (questionnaire, letter of recommendation) and of course I had a chat also with her and two other physicians.

Well… today I already get a rid of two materials I had … :-)  I still have thursday friday and saturday to get a rid of the other materials ….. I went to the supermarket to buy some fruits before got home …

sleep and then writing this …
now I’m sleepy again … I’m really really exhausted.

Makassar, Day Two (190906)

September 20th, 2006 by fiorelino

I was exhausted yesterday, that’s why I write yesterday’s journal today, although actually my day wasn’t that long. I woke up too early as usual coz I couldn’t sleep… 04.00 then I watched charmed and having a small breakfast. At 08.10 I leave the hotel and around 08.40 I was already in the hospital.

I don’t want to write much about yesterday, coz yesterday was only administative things. I got some materials such as buletin, organisation’s structure and also an ID that I’m a researcher.

First I met the sfaff of "Pendidikan dan Penelitian" (Education and Research). I told them about what I do in Germany and what is my intention to come to RSWS. There were only three staffs in this sub. dept. well… four with the chief.

I didn’t know that I have to provide a picture of mine :-( so I just took my Teacher-ID. Before I got all things I need to do the observation, I met director of human resources and education. She is a nice lady. She told me about the organisation structure in that hospital, and she told me also that the hospital belong to government and they called it with BLU (Badan Layanan Umum).

There are only four director and one president director. One director has one department. First director is  a director for human resource and education department. Second director is a director for medical and care. Third is for finance, and last but not least is a director for operational and procurement.

Each department has their own sub-departments and also some Intallations. Since I have only limited time to observe, I will visit six Installations only. The are: medical record installation (it is not EDP), EDP, ICU, Emergency room, COT (Central Operating Theater) and a ward Lontara II.

After meeting with HRD and Education’s Director I came back to the sub. dept. Education and060919_01 Research office. And then I made a picture of all members this sub department, without the chief of dept., because she was not there. 

I waited around 30 minutes until the chief came and signed all letters I needed for the research.

I finished all things around 12.30. It costs me around 300thousands for all administrative things I got.

Bevore leaving, one of the staffs told me that actually I can stay in appartment near hospital, so one of them took me there to ask whether they have one room free….. It would be great if I knew this first. Unfortunately nobody help me before I did this trip, in fact it was so difficult to contact at least one of them when I was in Germany.

Ich hatte pech … meaning I didn’t have a luck, coz all appartments occupied. The staff of that appartment told me that if I asked yesterday, or the day before yesterday, I could have one room. But he also told me that probably in two days there will be an empty VIP room … the VIP room costs only 150thousands, but seem clean and new :-) but the most important thing is that this appartment located direct in the hospital. wel’ll see…

After seeing the appartment, I was actually thinking direct to all installations I wanted to visit. But then I thought I didn’t make questionnaire yet, I can just asking them, but the record tape I brought from germany didn’t work too, so if I was going to visit them yesterday, I had to write everything. I decided to look around first and then I will make a new strategy to visit them tomorrow. I still have wed thru sat, so I think I still have time.

I walked around the hospital and then to the hasanuddin university ’till I had pain in my foot. I took the public transportation again and went home… well to berlian hotel. This time I picked the right one.

When I was in hotel, I was very exhausted and hungry, so I ordered "udang asam manis" schrimps and a coffee. It was delicius. After having my late lunch I was so sleepy, so I decided to take a nap.

I had a long nap, coz when I woke up, it’s already 23.00 … huhu .. I had to prepare for today… I watched some films explaining my research-thema such as ubiquitous computing, rfid, future hospital, MAS and so on.

Makassar, Day One (180906)

September 18th, 2006 by fiorelino

I woke up at 03.00, coz I had to prepare other small things before I leave my lovely home in Cipayung. I asked my brother to take me at Kampung Rambutan at 04.00, so I could catch up the Soekarno-Hatta bus. He wasn’t sure whether the bus already operated in that hour, and we couldn’t find the schedule in internet, so we decided that he brought me to the bus terminal, and asked the ticket-man there whether the bus already operated or not.  When we got there, he asked and the ticket-man told us .. yes .. great !! So I walked with 16 kilo baggage to the bus.

Deep inside my heart, I was afraid, coz I just read in the newspaper yesterday, that there was a robbery in the Soekarno-Hatta bus … I was praying that my trip would be smoothly …. unfortunately I forgot to pray that my appointment would also going smoothly.

There were 2 stops with the bus, first was for collecting money. I wasn’t sure what was the purpose of the second stop. My heart was beating so fast in the second stop, coz I thought someone will enter the bus and did something bad .. but my worry has no reason.

I was in terminal C at 05.45,

There was a long queue to enter the security gate. Well finally I checked in at 06.10… after handed my baggage I went to the gate. On the way to the gate I was looking for lounge, which I couldn’t find it. I asked to the staff in the departure gate, where I could find lounge from gold visa card … and the staff told me it is not there anymore …………… ouch !! I didn’t have a chance to have a breakfast because I thought I would go to the lounge, which normally provide a nice buffet … :-(

Since there was no lounge, I waited in the waiting room. One old guy asked me whether I’ve been to Makassar before, of course I said ‘no’ because I’ve never been there before. This is my first time. So did he. He asked me why I went to Makassar, and since he seemed like a nice person, I told him my purpose to Makassar, also my fear about contacting vip in RSWS. I asked him also his purpose to Makassar.  He told me that he is beamte in department of information and communication, below Mr. Sofwan djalil.

He told me that this department is new and the people are mixed from vary departments. His intention to Makassar is to socialize new UU (regulation) for e-commerce in Indonesia.

At exactly 07.00 we were called to go to the plane. There were two nice mature woman beside me. They were from  the national standardization quality of food, and their intention is to evaluate some kabupatens … When they were asking me about my reason go to Makassar, I told them the same thing as I did to the old guy before. I mentioned also to them, that it was also my intention to increase efficiency and quality in all sectors with the new technology I learn in Germany. They were interested and as the other old guy, they would like to meet me again in Jakarta … hmm I hope I could manage to meet everybody I’v already made promises …

upss one thing i forgot to tell during Soekarno-Hatta trip. The people who used that bus threw their trash in the trash-place !!  It was in the bus in domestic flight, and two of passengers were extra walking to put their trash into appropriate place :-)

Makassar01We were landing at 10.30 Makassar time. The Taxi service in Bandara Hasannudin is just like in Surabaya. There were 3 Zone and I should pay 75000 for the service plus 1000 for development retribution or something. In the Taxi I wrote sms to the vip management RSWS that I was already in Makassar. She answered me with sms too, welcoming me with a nice words, and she told me that she would be in the office until 16.00.

When I got to delia anggrek hotel, a cheap hotel, that located 2 km from RSWS, I was a bit surprised that they already full booked and didn’t have any more room although I’ve already booked it when I was in Germany through my mom. Since it was the hotel’s mistake, I was asked to wait while they were contacting other hotel for room. They gave me a room to wait for .. a deluxe room, that supposed to  be my room … ouch … I was wondering whether the other hotel looked like this or worse … I was thinking to cancel it and just go to the other hotel with some stars and located in the near beach, so probably I could relax a little bit.

Because of that tought, I was using matrix to get connected and surfing… hmm It was so slow and after 30 minutes, I could find a room cost 61 us dollar in quality hotel…. it quite expensive, specially I have to pay all first, then latter it will be reimbursed by the company, who sent me here.

While waiting for the confirmation of the other hotel, I also sms the vip person, that I didn’t have a room yet, I told her if I get it before 15.30 I will go there, if not I will go to RSWS tomorrow. She answered me that’s fine and again she told me that she is in the office only until 16.00 and tomorrow she has other appointment, I should meet her staff. She would come around 11.00 tomorrow. Beside that, she wrote also that I have to bring recommendation letter and proposal that already approved by my proff. Ouch !! 

I thought that things already ok when I sent email last week. Caroline and I already sent per email and per fax. hmmm….I thought probably I couldn’t make it today to see the vip from rsws.

Shortly after having confirmation of  the nice staffs of delia anggrek hotel, the owner self took me to the other hotel, called berlian hotel. The price is cheaper…

When I saw the price first I was thinking … o o… probably it is worse than the other hotel. So when the staff of berlian hotel asked me to give down payment, I told her I would like to give her the first night first, coz I thought to move tomorrow. But the staff told me, that I should give her two hundred thousands rups and when tomorrow I move, she’ll give my money back. btw the room cost 150 thousands.

The room was nicer als the other hotel :-)  the bath tub is cleaner as the other… so it was fine. 

I wrote again sms to the vip and told her that I got a room, now I just  had to print out all things she asked, then I would go directly to the hospital if I could finish all of that before 15:30.

When I asked to the staff of berlian hotel, where I can a place to print and also to connect in the internet, she said it is far away… she told me how to get there via public transportation. Actually I would like to use taxi, but since time is limited and no taxi available by that time, I use the blue public transportation. It cost me only 2000 to get the printing place.

I printed all documents related, including my CV, and so on … guess what happened when I printed those things. There was a student of a university, located in front of that place. She changed her grade, she gave the staff a disk, and old him to delete all D and F subjects … ouch !!! Luckily I could shout my mouth up, coz I don’t want trouble and I run out the time too.

Printing binding took only about 40 minutes, I printed in color :-)  and it cost me around 38 thousand rups. It was 14:45 when I took another blue public transportation to RSWS direction.

Makassar02The most first thing I visited was Emergency building. When I went there and asking to meet this vip, they showed me the way to go to her office.

It was 14:55 when I got to the office. I asked everybody to find out the office of the vip, well… finally I found it … but it was empty …. I sms again, that I already in front of her office… no answer …

instead I heard telephone in her office …

hmmm.. probably she tried to contact her staff .. well
nobody there and kring again… but  in other room.

There was a guy picked up the phone and he looked confused going downstair and upstair and at the end he said to someone on the phone “she is gone” ….

There was still no answer of my sms  on my hp. Well I decided to wait until 16.00, probably she would come back…

The guy who just “probably” got a call from the vip, didn’t ask me nor telling me something until I asked him whether I could find the vip or her staff.

He said that both are gone…. I knew that, I’ve heard  when he received a call, but what I wonder, why nobody telling me that I should come back tomorrow.

No answer on HP and no information in the place(vor ort).

In this place, you have to get the information by your self.

Well After asking the guy who received the phone about whether I have a chance to see one of them today, I decided again that I should wait until 16.00, because that guy wasn’t sure about his answer and I still didn’t get answer from the vip.

When my HP showed the number 16.00, I walked back to downstairs and went to the main road. It was still hot outside, nevertheless since I was already there, I  made some pictures without asking permission, because I don’t know to whom …

I used  the blue PT (Public Transportation) to go back to the hotel again, but it was the wrong one, although before entering I’ve asked whether this vehicle thru berlian hotel, and the driver said yes.

When that wrong blue PT  took other direction, I asked to stop and told him that it wasn’t road to berlian hotel, well most probably he didn’t know that hotel…. I  took another bluePT, this time I looked carefully it has “H” and the lady in the car told me that this PT through the berlian hotel.

Well.. sometime you’ve heard about that someone shouldn’t make the same mistake.

Actually the route of that car should through berlian hotel, but I don’t know why the driver took other way, although the nice lady warned him, that I should out in Berlian hotel. The driver was taking other way to avoid the jam.

But actually … according to the lady, he should turm to the main road before berlian hotel. He didn’t

…. so I ended up in one main road here in the near this internet cafe.

I was so tired and hungry.
I didn’t have a chance to get breakfast and lunch, so when I saw this internet cafe and restauran, I thought I will make this blog and having nasi goreng with es jeruk nipis and water. For desert I had a small es palu butung.

Now I’m very full, because the portion was big, and sleepy too… I think that’s all for today. I just decided to stay in that hotel until friday and maybe friday to saturday I will move to the hotel in the near beach …maybe …

So far actually the hotel was good and clean but in the regulation they don’t allow a guest to use electricity … ouch !!

I need to work, to charge all batteries I have and also to make all presentations, so before leaving the hotel I’ve already asked the staff for permission using my laptop instead of TV that on every time, coz when I entered, it’s already on…   if it is about the power I use, I told her that the power for my laptop is smaller than TV, I wont use tv but laptop instead.

I hope it is allowed… we’ll see ..

The matrix works also .. but I don’t know how much it cost.

I hope tomorrow will be better than today….

btw my shoes were uncomfortable to walk with …

I hope I can find out how to reduce the pain in my foot.

I think I’ll be darker here :-(

Alumni gathering

<!–
@page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in }
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in }
–>

Alumni gathering was great. Thanks to
one of SGU Master Student, we had a nice place to inauguration of
the alumni. Thanks also for all committee that made this party possible.

When I saw the grass, I was surprised, because it was
grass for playing golf, then I saw also a place to do putter… wow!

Ambar and I …
Alumni_01

ups I didn’t mention
before that I asked my dear friend, ex SGU staff to accompany me to
the party. Anyway .. we were in the Party area and wondering how much
it cost. Cause there was also beamer with a big screen, and beside
that there are a lot of food. I brought some pens with initial
“Universitaet Bayreuth”. One of ex students bachelor, a very nice
looking young lady, who studied mechatronic as a first batch, told me
that she had also kind of that pen in her company. I was asking her
not to mention the price… ouch!!! ticket price made those pen more
expensive then other pens :P

Some of lecturer were there, the usual
one, those who always attending alumni gathering … unfortunately no
new comer. But it was so great to see them all again …

We were sitting together and telling
story bout ourselves. Actually I would also tell everybody bout my
experience in the last 24 hours…. but … there were
also an ex
mechatronic student  and an ex IT student, who already knew my story
coz they read my blog previously .. o je :-)

Alumni_01

Before Ambar and I went to the party, I
was dropped at Ambar’s house, we were talking about events that
happened in the last six months. Unfortunately she never use
friendster and yahoo, so we had too much to catch up. But since I had
to wake up early in the next day, I told her that I couldn’t stay
longer than 18.30 ….

That plan was only plan… the reality
was: at 19
.00 we were still there, because it was still not many
people there, around 18.30 I guess, rector came, short after Gunawan
began his speech. After speech there was a different inauguration as
previous other alumni gathering. It was funny although I couldn’t
really follow the rules coz I was also busy talking with agnes, one
of master student, who is also a dentist. I asked her to meet
sometime after Makassar visit, to show my research.

Well I have to make this story short,
coz tonight I have to prepare my method of research in this city. Coz
I”m writing right now at I-Cafe in Makassar.

Alumni_03My impression of the party was great,
an ex nice cute huebsche energic young girl made the party live and
also some singers  with a really great sound system  made the party a
real party. Leider war nicht so viel da, obwohl es so viele Essen gab
… na ja man kann micht alles haben …

Alumni_04

Ich war um 21.30 Uhr zu Hause und noch
wach bis ungefaehr 23.00 Uhr weil ich noch viele Sachen einpacken
müsste.

Flying to my home country (4)

September 16th, 2006 by fiorelino

It was a long flight ….
24 hours !!!  - my dad and my mom already waited for me from 12.30, and my flight just arrived at 14.30… the first thing I done was turning on my handphone…. two messages from my mom and from my dear friend in germany welcoming me in my home country.

When I saw my mom and my dad, I was so happy !! they were looking fine and happy too … but before we got to the car, my mom told me not to surprise, because the car was changed … WHAT?? why … then my dad told me that they had a bad luck on 29 June. They lost their avanza in the house although it kept in the looked garage and it had also alarm.

wow!! i was speachless…at three o clock when my brother came from his work, he still saw the car. It was stolen between 03.00-03.30. coz my mom was awake after praying and when she was outside at 03.30 the car was already gone!!..

Flying to my home country (3)

September 16th, 2006 by fiorelino

I wrote this note while I was waiting to my flight which delayed from 00.55 to 02.55 ….

I’m writing this to killing the time in Muscat. It’s a long long day … My eyes are heavy and am so tired but I couldnt sleep… probably my jacket is also stink coz previously I put it into my new stink bag… hmm :-(

Beside me there are other hundreds or more indonesian girls, a german couple, three netherland girl and five irish, who are waiting to the same flight. I dont know how to describe my feeling about these indonesian girls right now… Basically they are "like my self", only that most of them are younger than me … ;-) Well actually that’s not what I meant with "like my self". What I meant with that words, is that they work also in other country as I do right now. The different is probably that the place they worked is different with my workplace and the requirements to do their work are also different then mine…

I’m wondering if that’s made us different .. my other side of heart said "No" but the other side tell me "It is"… In this side I’m feeling sad to see them, although probably, when I’m seeing them right now, they are happy and look like that they are very proud of them selves. Maybe they should to … coz even most of them have only education until 6th class or we call it here with SD (Grundschule), they could travel outside their home country and earn something for their family and get devisa for their home country too!!

In this case I would agree with them, they are should proud of them selves ….. but … a big but … this other ‘feeling’ is not gone … I’m a bit embarrased to say that I’m embarrased to see them … Is that made me a bad person? that I’m embarrased to see them working as other classes in other country beside other class in their home country?  They are working legally … at least most of them so actually it’s okay .. but why this ‘feeling’ wont gone …

I’m embarrased to say that I’m embarassed what they did .. although actually I shouldn’t .. probably… Probably there were not enough job with an appropriate salary for them in their lovely home country Indonesia, so the decided to work in other country … for better salary? …

this feeling comes to me everytime I use an arabian or malaysian flight. I’m really sorry to have this feeling .. why should I’m embarrased from those other people who also fly with us … Probably I would not be that embarrased if the whole plane filled with us .. only Indonesian.  I don’t know really why I’m embarrased … probably because they speak too loud?  hmm …

While my brain thinking to find reasons why I’m embarassed, my hand types this kind of ‘note’, my eyes follow the  small hand, that hold an empty plastic. This small hand, which can reach a one meter trash on the left, just throw that plastic to the floor …. ouch !!  I couldn’t breath awhile .. trying to see other direction and typing faster

Corner of my eyes see two bottles of aqua just lay on the floor in the near bunch of indonesian girls… again Ouch!! … When I got here in the first place, this place was clean, now there are some plastics, tissue just lay on the floor.

In the corner, around 15m from the trash, there are bunch of non-indonesian girls. One of the girl sneeze on her tissue and stand up .. goes directly to the trash in the near of that ‘hand’ and put her tissue on it.

Hmm I feel like the non indonesian girls watching our girls … and I think I have to do something .. wait .. I’ll be back…
I just took plastics that lay on the floor, and put them into the trash … guess what, what were their reactions? they laughed … ohh … they laughed …. our indonesian girls laughed, coz I put those trashes into their appropriate place.

I tought first that I could give them an example … maybe that’s a teacher nature … definetely the didn’t get the message, coz when there was a call for entering plane, they just did what they did before…

I did again picking up those trashes, and then appologise to the guardian of that waiting room and back to my laptop, close it, go to the plane.

Now I know why I’m embarassed … because of their behaviour … in the plane was worst … they sat just where they liked to, without seeing the ticket… Actually I should sit in 28A and it’s near window, but one of them already sat there and beside her there was also other girl. I tried to explain them how it works, I told them to see their ticket, and gave them direction which number they had to follow.

They followed only the number, so one of them, who has 27B moved to the front and sat in the near window, the other one who got 28B sat in the window too… she said she need to sit near window, otherwise she will sick.. well I was so tired to argue and then i said to her she could have it and I sat just iat the alley. A few minutes later came an irish guy that had seperated seat with his friend, hes upposed to have 27A but since it occupied and the girl had also same reason with the girl beside me.. so he just sat as I did… at the alley.

I couldn’t stop thinking the reason why they won’t to put their trashes in to the right place…coz actually their work is in the cleaning service field …

Behind my seat were two girls from netherland and beside them, in the middle row sat one netherland girl and a german couple. Arround us were our young indonesian girls who talked very loud about their master in their workplaces … Pity of those non-indonesian, that couldn’t understand what they were talking about, coz it was funny … but pity of them too coz since they were very loud, they couldn’t hear the announcement or film in the entertainment tv. I tried to tell them that they should respect the other passagers, it worked !!!  about 15 minutes ….
I give up …

Actually it was a quite interresting hearing their naive experiences with their master. The girl beside me told me her story being housemaid for two years and she learned arabish during her stay. I told her it was great, that she learned arabish, but I told her too, that she should also learn to keep clean everywhere, not only in the master’s house. She told me also that was a habit for most of them, but she wasn’t the girl who has that ‘naughty hand’.

She told me that she just passed SD and then she left indonesia to get a job in jordan. she would like to go back and work again, coz she is desperate to have education …. ouch I was smiling to her and told her she should do that, while she is still young. Most of the other girls don’t want to go back to work again, they wanted to marry. They had enough of their masters.

While doing paraleltasking: watching and  trying to hear "hoot", hearing the general conversation of the girls about their masters, I was also thinking, probably it would be better that they have a little training before they represent indonesia in to the world, even in the housemaid world …. My mind reminds me to the conversation I had when I flew with emirates (I think). My conversation was with a nice mature indonesian lady. She told me that she worked by royal family about more than 10 years. By that time she took care the daughters of the one who she already took care of.  Probably I already told his story in my blog… it flashed me back …

she could speak english well, arabish and  a little bit french. She was on the way to Paris by that time. She told me that she didn’t have a luggage coz her luggage was already sent by royal family while i was fighting to get my other 5 kilo for my 35 kilo luggage by that time. She showed me her passport, it is a normal green passport with stempel of royal family .. It said that she is an employee of the royal family … she has everything including insurance for her health. She told me how proud she was when she won every nanny contest every year. Every year … before Ied Mubarak, the grandma of the two girls she took care, make a contest of all nannys who taking care her grandkids. The nanny who can teach kids disciplin and behaviour would win the game and got ticket for her family to any country she liked. She told me that she won everytime, and she is the only one who still work with them while the other changes.

That was nice to hear, she was also special. She told me that in two months her daughter will visit her in Paris and probably live with her.

It’s a matter of chance and will .. I guess .. or not?  or will make a chance? probably the right one is a will make a chance … whatever .. I’m sleepy …
to be continued

Flying to my home country (2)

September 16th, 2006 by fiorelino

At 6.15 My dear friend and I leaved Bayreuth. It took around 3 hours from  Bayreuth to Frankfurt, and along the road I talked about many things that I dont remember now :D - the main point is, according to my bf, he just passed the sign "Flughafen" because he was concentrated to answer my question .. ah now I remember .. I was wondering what "P" stands for.

We were in the airport around 10.00. Since I had to go to toilet and my bf had to wear his contact linse, I went to the hall with my handpack and he cathed up me latter with my luggage. After finishing the little business in the toilet, I went directly to Gulf counter, it was already a long queue… I finished check in around 10.45 and I have to boarding at 11.30, so we thought first that we probably had time to had breakfast .. but when we saw the queue entering immigration area, we canceled our breakfast and stood up in the queue. It took almost 30 minutes to finish immigration thing .. then again in the queue of handpack checking …. I had to loose my belt and all metal things on me …still it was beeping … hmmm … what a procedure!! but I understand that. I was in gate D4 at exactly 11.30 so I went directly to the plane.

I sit in the midde row, direct to the alley. I have an empty seat near me and one french couple sit next to the empty chair. On the left side there were an old german guy and a nice nervous german lady. This lady would like to go to Kathmandu, as the french couple. It was her first trip out of Germany. She were very nervous and when she heard I talked with french couple in german language, she directly asked me many things … upss that’s of course after the old german guy, who sat near her left in Bahrain.

I was not in the ‘chat mood’ in Frankfurt-Bahrain, coz there were some movies I concentrated to look at. The first movie were hmmm… I’m trying to remember … It was X-Men: The last stand ; it was a good movie, when you saw the previous movie you’ll appreciate this also. The second one was Keeping Up With The Steins. Its about initiation rite to transform a young boy to a man. It was jewish tradition. It was a bit funny .. I think it was ok. The third one was very funny movie from Germany, it called Traumschiff Surprise Periode 1. Principal Cast: Michael “Bully” Herbig, Rick Kavanian, Christian Tramitz, Anja Kling, Till Schweiger.This box office smash in Germany is an irreverent spoof of the sci-fi
genre from STAR TREK to STAR WARS. In the year 2304, the Martian
colonies wage war upon the Earth. Our only hope against total
annihilation is the prissy crew of the Dreamship Surprise.
Unfortunately, they’re much better suited for the Miss Waikiki beach
contest than interstellar heroics.

Thats about the movie - about the food .. it was ok .. I had a salad as an appetizer, rice with chicken as main menu and fruit as desert :-)

From Bahrain to Muscat we had delay one hour I think … and the passenger who flew to Muscat were not allowed to leave the plane. So in the Bahrain-Muscat trip I had chat with those french couple and a nervous German lady :-) They were very nice.

In Muscat I went directly to the gate D14 where I should get the plane to Jakarta. As I already expected before It was empty. I was there around 11.30 pm and the flight should actually at 00.55 - So I waited there and just seeing some hospitals movie for the presentation.  Around 00.00 there were bunch of indonesien girls entering the waiting room. I knew I would fly with them as usual if I choose an arabian flight, because there are many indonesian girls work in arabian country.

And then begin that feeling ..

Flying to my home country (1)

September 16th, 2006 by fiorelino

the finished script were not finished :-(  I  finished version 2.0 but no version 3.0…..
The script were too much for only have 3 ECTS, so it should be cut off and some addition should be made. I had only three days before leaving Germany  to fix it … My nice Proffessor understand my situation and told me that it’s okay when I’m not finish it, he and one of student will finish it … Of course I dont want to .. so three days before I went to Indonesia, I made a registration program with help from my dear friend edo and fixed the script until it finished (v.3b). On Thursday I gave that script to my prof. and he was impressed how could I finished so fast … He didnt know that I slept only 3 hours to finish everything. He was also impressed with the registration form, which can devide groups…. well I can fly to Indonesia now …. :-)

Finally my script is finished !!  script for lectures and practice, it’s about 30 x 7 x 2 slides !!  It was a really hard work, coz I used around 10 books, wikipedia and some articles … and I made also some scenario for examples, and I had to prove again whether all calculations are correct …Grins

I still have to make some finishing touch, but basically it could go to printing  anytime, tonight I’ll make it really finished (including cover, table of content, etc).
I thought that after finishing the script, I’ll have a little time to take a breath .. I was wrong, I’ve got a good news that I could go to Indonesia !!


I got this Information on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I did a lot o things such as organizing the flight, all papers stuff, my curriculum vitae in english and indonesian language, and still I have to prepare paper and slides for presentation in Indonesia. Is thalt all??  NO .. of course not, my virtual friend, who live in nürnberg told me that I always looking for stress … hehehehe probably he was right :-)

Probably I’ve aready mentioned in other blog, that beside in Bayreuth I will give a lecture in Nürnberg on winter semester, so I have to prepare for that too …uiii …

I wish my trip in Indonesia will succeed… I wish to meet some old friends, I wish to share what I got this six months in germany to some institutions, so I have to make a proposal for a seminar. I hope it works too. I wish to introduce the term ubiquitous computing in the health care or in other field such as in our daily life :-)

I have a lot of to do … so I think I should start to plan my trip … Yulini and Donny, thanks for the comments in the last blog … I hope we could meet in Jakarta, it would be great .. how many years already Yul? around 15 years? …. see ya
