It seems that I have no more things to complaint about. That's the nick I'm using for my MSN messenger at this moment. Well, maybe I look over-confident and super-happy by using this nick, but I think it really represents my current mood.

Last year (and the year before), I wasn't too close to my friends. Well, I knew I had good friends here, but it was just that I couldn't really get along with them. I rarely (or even never) went out together with my friends, I rarely/never cared about their stories, I never told them my stories, etc. That's why, when I first heard that Okki is going to have a trip with his family during Christmas and New Year time, I was shocked. My first thought at that moment was "OMG, I'm going to be very alone for this Xmas and New Year!! This will be my worst Xmas and New Year ever!!". But then, I asked my friends what they were going to do for the Xmas, and they told me that they were planning to go to Berlin. And since I had no other options but going together with them, I decided that I would join them. Even after I agreed to join my friends to go to Berlin, I wasn't so excited. I thought that it would be my worst trip ever.

But, surprisingly, the trip was very nice. I do mean it. We had so much fun together. We went shopping together, we had some nice chatting before sleep, we had party, etc. It was really beyond my expectations.

And that's not it. That trip was only the beginning. After we went home from Berlin, we really got (or get?) much closer. Since then, we have done a lot of things together. And now I realize that I was wrong. My friends are not that bad as I thought before. Well, I don't know why, but at this time I feel like I can really get along with my friends, I can understand them, they can understand me, and I do enjoy becoming a part of this group.

Thanks, my friends, for letting me be back to the group again.

Then, about my internship, it is going very well. Very very well. I do like my works, the colleagues, my supervisor, the situations, etc. It is even now going to be beyond my expectations.

This internship gives me experiences not only for the educational things, but a lot more. It gives me chances to improve my English and Dutch language skills (well, I skipped too many classes during my first two years of study here, so I couldn't really improve my language skills). It gives me chances to learn to work together with people as a team and as an individual. It shows me the real life of the Dutch people. It gives me chances to learn to communicate with different kind of people. It teaches me about the financial and administration system at an international company. And a lot more.

I'm so grateful to work in such a company like this. Maybe the company I'm doing the internship isn't as great as my friends' (Philips, Agilent, Mattel, etc), but yeah, what else can I expect?

Thanks for Metso Automation BV, for giving me the chance to do the internship. Thanks for all the people there, especially for Ronald: thanks for being such a great supervisor for me.

Thanks God for giving me good friends, good work, good family, good boyfriend, and so on. You are GREAT. You give me things that I wasn't even able to imagine. Thank you for giving me the chances to be grateful.
GOSH. It's been 3 months since the last time I updated this blog. Time flies.

Well, I wasn't too busy actually, it's just that I didn't have any more moods to update this blog. I was even thinking to close this blog forever, but then I cancelled it.

OK, where was I? What had happened in the last 3 months? Well, quite a lot.

On December, I got a new hobby, which is Digital Scrapbooking. You can see some of my designs in my Friendster account. I was so addicted to this new hobby. I downloaded new items every day, I spent like 3 hours a day for finishing the designs, etc. But it seems that I don't really fond of it anymore. Hehe. I get bored pretty easily, heh? Hehe.

On Dec 28 till Jan 1, I went to Berlin with my friends. It was fun. This trip also gave me chances to get closer to my friends.

On Jan 5 till Jan 8, Okki's family came to Holland and I met them (finally) for the first time. Well, it was not as nice as my expectations, but on the other side, it wasn't that bad. To be honest, I was having hard times on those days. I felt like my boyfriend's family doesn't really like me, and my boyfriend was not so supportive, and I didn't know what to do. *OK OK, time to shut my mouth up* Hunie, by the time you read this, please don't be that mad. This is my blog, anyway, so I can write whatever I want, heh?

Next, last week, I went clubbing with my friends to Jimmy Woo. We were having so much fun there.
