Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.

Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you Until we meet again! ~Author Unknown We just sent G get on the train heading to GZ.  She will leave China by less than 24 hours. I will miss u, G.  People said don't cry because it's over, smile because it's happened.  不过我还有点儿难过。我会想她！ But I have faith that I will see you again.  I will visit you someday (God's time) in Philippines and I will see you reach your dream!!  Promise me you will strive your best to build the school. Let's run for our dream! 有勇气就会有奇迹！ Thank you for everything G, for friendship, for joys, for times we shared,  for experiment discussion, for being you. I love you!

finally I can sleep on a bed

Last week I totally spent almost the whole week in my laboratory. Tiring, but as always I can see God's grace over it. I started to do the HPLC analysis on Monday morning until Saturday morning, 24 hours a day, non-stop. Slept only 2-4 hours a day for 6 days non-stop really exhausting, but it's all worth since I can finish all my 300 samples. 
Me, myself, I was quite amazed that I could really finish it without any problem. 
And now, I can sleep on a bed!! A real bed!!
All the credits belong to God!!


Special thanks for:
1. Sunisa D., who has been a good partner during the nights, more than just accompanied me, she could do the injection very well and very strict with the time. Thank you so much for giving me chances to sleep at night. 
2. P' Kathi, who always bring breakfast in the early morning!! Thank you for replaced me in the morning so I could go back home and take my shower. I needed that!
3. Zhang Lili, who keep checking me if everything is OK. And borrowed a camping-folding-bed for me. Yeay!!! We had a bed since day 3! Can't imagine what will gonna happen if I need to sleep on the chair for 6 days.
4. Xiao Rong, who provided a lot of snacks during work and also lent us another folding-bed. That bed was so comfortable! Thank you!
5. Lv Yuan, who accompanied me for 2 nights. I knew that ur schedules were also very tight and u were also so tired. Thank you for doing that! And thank you for the McDonald's, it was a significant refreshment! :)
6. Yin Bo Huan, who was continually checking the machine every night and washing the machine after my experiment. Thank you, I really appreciate that!

 Day 1. masih bisa nyengir :D

Day 3. I need some sleep~~

Day 5... we get used to it...

Day 6.. u had a wrinkle on!! Aaaa!!!

Hahahaha.... :D

May 29-June 1, 2011 我的收获很多

After waited for 3 months and a despairing week I finally used the High Hydrostatic Pressure  equipment at China Agricultural University. U need to be used to unpredictable things to live in China. Things changes rapidly, schedule can be so uncertain.   I'm a person who stick with my agenda and get annoyed with uncertain / changed / sudden things.  So it WAS hard for me to accept and get used to this culture at firsts.  Now? I'm good!  1. I know that no matter what, God is in charge so everything will be all right;  2. I just need to find other things/ways to do it, there's always a way;  3. U cannot be brave & strong if u've only had wonderful things happen to u. Went to Beijing for 4 days and 3 nights (2 nights on train :-( ), I learned a lot! 我的收获很多！ 1. This was my first time to got on T train. Hehe...  2. This was my first time to go to Beijing with no seat (14 h). My goodness.... We were on the same train with "subway engineering school" students, the train was so full,  the problem was these kiddos cannot stop moving. 同学们，不要太兴奋吧。 It was so crowded, hot, and noisy. 完全了。It's a tragedy 3. This was also my first time to eat at the dining carriage. and as a result... 4. We spent the night on the dining carriage. 舒服多了！ You just need to stay there after dinner and around 9 PM they will ask you 35 RMB.  They will give you a bottle of water and porridge and then you can sit there until 6 AM in the morning.  现在我知道了。 站票？没问题，去餐车吧。 5. And the reason of all this craziness is this, High Hydrostatic Pressure machine... 6. We went to 4 top universities in China within 2 days. I love those campuses! 都很安静也很漂亮！ 中国农业大学China Agricultural University 清华大学 Tsing Hua University 北京语言大学 Beijing Language and Culture University 北京大学 Bejing University 7. My first time to saw 门球, gate ball? 8. Went to Yuan Ming Yuan. It's great to travel with someone who knows a lot.  Lili knows a lot about history and explained a lot to me. 9. At Yuan Ming Yuan we bumped into Beijing kiddos.  And I'm amazed that they can recite poems perfectly. 10. Though I might not realized, but I'm sure that I improved my Chinese during travel.  At least I heard some new dialects. 东北话，儿话等。 所以说，碰到困难时要记得有乐观的想法。那样才能有很多收获。加油!

May 29, 2011_rollercoaster

blog ini harusnya di post tgl 29, tapi karena inetnya down,jadi baru berhasil sekarang di post nya...


klo ada yang bilang life is like a roller coaster...gua bakal teriak, Yes, indeed!
penelitian gua....udah kaya roller coaster.. sebentar dibawa naek...sebentar dilempar ke bawah...menarik!! menarik!! menegangkan!! jantung berdebar setiap hari!! untung gua uda fasten my seat belt pake seat belt merk Yesus Kristus.. jadi gua selalu aman, walapun hati ini sulit diajak tenang.. oops!


Duh, rasanya paling ga demen ngadepin unpredictable things! gua orang tipe bawa agenda, semua uda diskejul. Dulu....klo ada yang berubah dari skejul.. rasanya bisa BT!! terus jadi ga mood kerjainnya.. pelan2 gua berubah, untuk ngerti bahwa Tuhan itu berdaulat..dan in all things he works for the good of those who love him..


Penelitianku....
Yang namanya ngerjain penelitian, apalagi di lab, memang ga bakal lepas dari yang namanya masalah. Rencananya begini, ternyata jadinya begitu.. Perkiraannya begitu, hasilnya malah sebaliknya.. Mesinnya antri-lah, samplenya aneh lah, bahan reagen ga dapet, mesinnya tiba2 ga stabil lah....sampe kejadian kulkas rusak, nyebabin sample busuk... ditambah lagi metode yang diubah2, faktor diganti2.. aiyaaa... selaluuuuuu AAA, Ada-ada Ajaaa.. sedetail2nya kita rencanain, tetep aja kita ga bisa de lepas dari yang namanya ngerubah skejul....


Penelitianku...
S2 di Cina rencananya pengen selesaiin dalam waktu 2,5 taon (normalnya S2 di Cina harus 3 tahun). Semester 1 & 2 murni cuma kelas, ujian, dan nyiapin proposal penelitian. Sejak awal nyampe di Cina, udah bertekad harus bisa selesai dalam 5 semester (2,5 tahun), jadi semester 2, proposal penelitian udah disetujui dan semester 3 bisa mulai kerja. Penelitianku dibagi jadi 4 parts, 2 parts udah dikebut beres di semester 3. Rencana semester 4 kerjain 2 parts lagi, terus semester 5 nulis paper, sidang, pulang...
Apa daya... Manusia boleh berencana, tapi kehendak Tuhanlah yang terjadi..


Penelitianku...
Semester 1 dan 2 selain sibuk kelas, sibuk kerjain proposal thesis. Proposal pertama pengen kerjain High Pressure Processing (HPP), tapi ditolak... Ganti jadi Pulsed Electric Field.. OK, ganti! Cerita punya cerita, sekolah ga bisa provide mesinnya dan mahasiswa yang mustinya mau penelitian bareng pindah sekolah..yeee....si enci piye to.... Ganti lagi! Terakhir ditentuin pake HPP aja di part 3 dan 4.


Penelitianku....
Di semester 3, gua kerjain part 1 dan 2, boleh dibilang relatif lancar walaupun deg-degan nya tetep jungkir balik...mengingat itu mikro2an... dang! I still don't get it. Tapi ya..ha ha ha....seburuk2nya gua hampir membakar lab di UPH, disini skill pengenceran, plating mikro gua teruji bo.. katanya lu belajar dimana plating, zuo de hen biaozhun.. hhahaha.. kapan lagi ada yg muji cara kerja mikro gua.. Waa!!! Xie2, K Epin, K Sisi, Bu Wahyu... kayanya 3 orang ini de yg pernah ngajar mikroku..




Di akhir semester 3 gua uda bolak balik tanya supervisor gua tentang mesin high pressure-nya.
1. Dia contact Nanjing Agricultural University.... dia almamater sana... yap, mesin disana rusak...
2. Dia contact 1 univ lg di Nanjing, rusak juga...
tiba2 uda Christmas, gua balik Indo. Katanya, udah nyantai aja, pasti ada. ntar abis liburan uda siap mesinnya.. ^^, OK dah kalao begitchu...
balik-balik dari Indo...
26 Feb'11, Laoshi, saya sudah pulang....kemana kah aku akan pergi?
3. Waktu itu uda hubungin Huanan NongDa di Guangzhou, rusak juga tuh.... -_-"
4. kita hubungin Beijing, disana ada Zhongguo Nongda.. which is the best university in China buat bagian agriculture-nya..


Awal pertengahan Maret ada kabar baik... Zhongguo Nongda uda setuju, katanya boleh datang..Tapi mesinnya lagi dipake di Expo, jadi ntar April ya.
Ooo... OK! Asik, libur tambahan 1 bulan...


Akhir Maret, laoshi, April tanggal berapa ya? beli tiket?? cuma tinggal bawa diri aja kan? beli ikan disana kan? gile, gua uda semangat banget mau pgi, mau kerjain penelitian disana...
Ga bisa, lab disana kecil, lu disana cuma bole pake mesin high pressurenya, sisanya semua2nya siapin dari Changsha. jangan ada 1 pun yg kelupaan.. dan...kata mereka sampelnya banyak banget.. ntar April tengah-akhir aja baru dateng...
mmm.....okay... (mikir, bawa 15kg ikan + es di kereta??) pesawat ga boleh ya? GA!


Tengah April, agak panik.... laoshi... tanggal??
Sejak April tengah sampai akhir April... ZhongNong ga pernah bales SMS, email dari laoshi gua... bahkan terakhir coba telpon, ga diangkat... SMS, email uda berkali2..telpon uda berkali2... ga ada respon sama sekali... maksudnya? ga boleh dateng nih...? bilang kali... lu orang tau donk, bagaimana gua menjunjung tinggi norma 'sms, email, telpon itu harus dibalas'. klo ga bales, itu ga sopan.. duh, rasanya gua bener2 bljr untuk kontrol diri gua, untuk ga judging dan berkata2 yang negatif.. memang ni mulut musti dikasi kekang kuda...


Awal Mei... mulai ngitung.. uda genap 2 bulan balik ke Changsha, tapi ga ke lab sama sekali.
Wang laoshi kayanya uda mulai BT juga gua tanya2 mulu... maap ya Wang laoshi, tapi kau lah satu2nya penghubungku dengan ZhongNong... Tiap hari gua cuma ngitungin tanggal... 1,2,3...14...15...
2 bulan 2 minggu... pas noh, akhirnya pas malem sebelon ulang taon, gua uda nyerah d sama Tuhan, rasanya uda ga karuan... gimana sih ini ko ga pasti semua.. mau gimana.. gua sih ngerasain banget Tuhan kasih joy yg overflow selama 10 minggu ga ada kerjaan itu. gua juga rajin belajar mandarin, terus jadi sering maen sama temen2.. mungkin memang ini yg Tuhan ijinin terjadi.. untuk gua hidup bersama2 dengan mereka, maen bareng, ketawa bareng.. kan klo uda kerja lab mah SERIUS >,< hehehe... tiap hari masih bisa ngucap syukur..tapi malem itu, hatinya udah galau banget..ceilaaah... galau, man!
eh terus Tuhan jawab lo, katanya... tenang... besok ada kabar...


We Ka We Ka We Ka.... tanggal 16 kita memutuskan untuk ga bergantung sama ZhongNong lagi... abis sampe tanggal itu belon dibales juga sms,email,tlp kita.. akhirnya si Li laoshi mencari perusahaan di Tianjin yang memang punya mesin2 High hydrostatic pressure ini... sekejap, dalam 1 hari ada respon. suruh kirim rencana riset dan diubah2.. (wlpn in Chinese, hihi...) gua rasa klo nanti satu saat gua inget hari itu, gua bakal ketawa.. panik suru nulis rencana riset pake Chinese.. untung ada google translate.. dan dikoreksi dulu sama si laoshi.. :p salahnya banyak.... wakakaka..


Tianjin..... tetep aja yaa, pelajaran belon berakhir.. gua masih musti belajar terus put hope in Lord, self control, patient... mesinnya begini lah, mesinnya mau diadjust lah.. aiyaaa.....buruan donk...gatel nih kaki!!
setelah hampir 2 minggu, finally...Thursday, May 26, 2011 mereka SMS, hari senin mesin udah siap, boleh dateng..silahkan riset fish market dulu 1 hari, terus kerjain di lab kita...
Jreng!!! langsung de bersorak-sorai!! bersukacita!!!  la la la la la...
malemnya baru panik, nyiapin ini itu...
jumat paginya diskusi sama temen, gimana nih caranya bawa 3 boks sterofoam...terus beli tiket... cari rute ke Tianjin.. ya ampun...ternyata tu perusahaan adanya bukan di kota Tianjin, ada di suburban.. di Changsha gua kebagian bagian desanya...di Tianjin juga ternyata bagian desanya...
setelah lapor&confirm sama perusahaan di Tianjin + laoshi di Changsha, kita dikasih duit pinjaman... dan beli tiket!! YEEHAA!!!! duh klo kalian bisa tau rasanya tuh gua kaya mau loncat2 di atas awan gitu... akhirnyaaaa penantiankuuuu......!!!!
jumat siang. . . . . . orang Tianjin telepon... "Ei, hari senin jangan datang! kita semua ada business trip, di kantor 1 orang pun ga ada." What??!! kita bukannya 2jam lalu baru confirm ya?? kan kita senin uda janjian mau kerja. "iya, tapi sekarang semua harus pergi... ga ada orang di kantor, lu dateng juga ga ada orang." Haaa??!!!! . . . . . .(speechless) kita uda beli tiket! "kita juga uda beli tiket. uda pokonya ga bisa dateng." Terus kapan bole dateng??? "ntar minggu depannya lagi aja, tapi ntar setelah beres business trip hubungin lagi, baru janjian lagi."


Aaaarrrrggghhhhhhh!!!!!
Bapaaakkkkkk, kamuuuuuu tidaaakkk boleeee begittttuuuuuuuu dooooooooooonkkk!!!!!
Kok ginii sih?????
heuh.... :(
tapi thanks God, gua hari itu berhasil kontrol diri gua, at least kata2 gua... akhirnya gua cuma ketawa2 aja sesorean.. gua cuma inget verse which I was memorizing, "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
jumat malem, ditemenin neng Lv Yuan gua diskusi sama dia gimana baiknya.. tetep ngotot pergi ke Beijing, cari pasar ikan di Tianjin, terus ke ZhongNong dateng kesana, cari orang lab disana, berharap mereka melihat niat baik dan kesungguhan gua untuk riset. Atau ga jadi pergi, nunggu aja sampe ada panggilan lagi...


Sabtu pagi, akhirnya setelah diskusi sama Lili (temen yang bakal nemenin gua ke BJ/TJ) dia akhirnya mutusin untuk ga pergi, karena dia masih harus kerjain pnelitiannya juga sedangkan gua mutusin untuk pergi aja, mengingat gua uda cukup menunggu 3 bulan dan rasanya nunggu terus di Changsha bukan cara yang terbaik. kita berusaha dari pagi untuk kontek Wang laoshi yang posisinya sekarang lagi tugas di Beijing, laoshi yang terus2an berusaha hubungin ZhongNong, kita pengen tanya...worth ga bayar train ticket 600RMB (Rp 900rb) untuk ke ZhongNong aja. ga berhasil kontek...sedangkan kita ngejar refund ticket nya si Lili...finally, karena ga diangkat2..kita mutusin untuk Lili ga pergi, Lisa pergi.
menyadari betul klo summer tlah tiba... 2jam bolak balik ke train station, panas, macet, sakit kepala, lapar.. komplit dah! plus ditambah diskusi resiko2 dan rencana mau gimana.. duh, rasanya pengen ngomong bhs Indo bangett... hahaha.. uda pabeulit yeuh lidah ceuk orang Sunda mah..


Sabtu siang, begitu balik sampe di kampus... Wang laoshi baru telepon balik... mengabarkan ZhongNong uda bisa dipake. Jadi hari Senin ke Beijing bawa ikan, semua siapin dari Changsha.
Akhirnya....
1. balik lagi ke train station balikin tiket gua (belajar 1 hal, jangan pernah mau refund tiket ke calo2, gua melihat fa piao mereka beda sama yang dari loket, duit mereka jg kemungkinan palsu, padahal mereka berani bayar lebih mahal dari loket loo....hoho..)
2. ribet telponin si tukang ikan langganan... dia bobok siang sih lama juga lo... ga angkat2 tlp gua..
3. problem yg ms blm solve smp sekarang... dimana cari ice cube or ice pack supplier di Beijing... haha, tapi gpp.. gua percaya sampe waktunya pasti ada... Tuhan pasti sediakan..


baru sampe sini ceritanya... hari ini, 29 May, Sunday, gua sekarang udah siap meluncur ke TKP pejagalan 30 kg ikan, terus vacuum pack dan segala macemnya... beli tiket kereta... nanti malem berangkat(13jam keeta)...Senin pagi sampe.. kerjain penelitian... rencana Senin sore atau Selasa sore balik ke Changsha. Rabu pagi udah harus analisa.. selamatttt!!! klo sampe gua ga sakit, itu pasti bukan kuat dan hebatnya gua...
teman2, doakan saya berhasil ya! uhuy!

May 24, 2011_我的汉语作业

给你们看看我的汉语作业。《成功之路进步篇1》, 80页，看度说话：

做的很乱。哈哈！

我本来是这样做的。你们看看，很奇怪吗？问题不少。嘿嘿....　　

　　　　在鸡农村有一对鸡。他们是夫妻。那天母鸡对老公说：“今天在街上跟你说话的那个小女鸡是谁？你们之间是什么关系？“ 

　　　　老公安静地转身不理她。老公这所以这样是因为老婆的性格是这样，很容易吃醋。老婆接着说：“你是不是喜上别的女的了？......快说！“

　　　　后来老公对老婆说：”我已经老了，跟你已经30年一起生活了。从婚礼那天到现在你还这样，一点儿都不信赖我。每次你指责我，你没指责对过。诚实说，那只小女鸡是西班牙的农村，我被领导派陪她吃饭，介绍一下我们的农村。现在我又老又累。如果你还不能信赖我，那...... 那没关系，我要耐心地等你。不过我想你知道我只爱你。到永远爱你。不管怎么样，我不会转身爱其她的小女鸡。“

后来被老师看了，我们修改了。

　　　　在鸡农村有一对鸡夫妻。有一天母鸡对公鸡说：今天在街上跟你说话的那个小母鸡是谁？你们之间是什么关系？

怎么样？好多了吗？

Learn a new language is not an easy thing. Language are much more than vocabularies and grammars, it is also about culture, a nation, histories. Learning language requires an openness and culture acceptance. For me myself, I enjoy myself learning Chinese. But.... I need to always remember this, if I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels (with a correct pronunciation, grammar and even local dialect), but didn't love others (have no love, no openness, acceptance, a heart to serve), I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. It will be meaningless :)

1 D trip to Chibi 赤壁

Last year, during the Labor Holiday (1-3 May 2010) we went to Hubei province. We visited 2 cities, Chibi, which is famous for the battle area prior to the Three Kingdoms period and Wuhan, which is the capital of Hubei province.


Little introduction about Chibi and the Battle of Chibi:

Chibi City (赤壁市, Chìbì Shì ) was originally named Puqi (蒲圻). On 11 June 1998, the State Council renamed it to "Chibi" to tie the city to the famous historical Battle of Chibi.
The Battle of Red Cliffs, otherwise Battle of Chibi,known as the  was a decisive battle at the end of the Han Dynasty, immediately prior to the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. It was fought in the winter of 208/9 AD between the southern warlords Liu Bei and Sun Quan and the numerically superior forces of the northern warlord Cao Cao. Liu Bei and Sun Quan successfully frustrated Cao Cao's effort to conquer the land south of the Yangtze River and reunite the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The allied victory at Red Cliffs ensured the survival of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, gave them control of the Yangtze (de Crespigny 2004:273), and provided a line of defence that was the basis for the later creation of the two southern states of Shu Han and Eastern Wu.(Source: en.wikipedia.org)

Morning - Leaving to Chibi
We took D train (Guangzhou-Wuhan line) from Changsha to Chibi. We are used to take a hard seat train in China but since this was our first time on D train, so taking photo is a must! It only took less than 2 hours from Changsha to Chibi.

 Chibi train station. Chibi is a small town. It was only us who get off from the train that day.

After you get off from the train, you will meet small buses which can take you to the city. And the historical sites. It takes almost an hour to reach the battle area. (U need to know Chinese to go there!)

 At the gate of Chibi Battle Area. It was.....HOT!! that day.

 

They have a lot of Three Kingdom's heroes there. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, and Zhu Ge Liang!! 

OK, I forgot the rest.. But it was fun to see the statues since we had Chinese history class at school.

 Finally, the famous spot. Actually there is a engravings on the cliff-side which has been engraved for at least a thousand years.

Na!! any idea where these people come from?! :p

We finished the visit in the afternoon. We went to the Buxingjie, but it was closed -_-"
It wasn't even 6 P.M.
But, as a compensation.... we found a cheap, luxury restaurant!!

Less than 30 kuai for pizza and steak!

Next: from Chibi to Wuhan

Turning 25_the story of Kumin -- part 1

May 14, 2011

There is a girl, we can call her 'Kumin'.

Kumin is not a typical social person who enjoys a big party. 

And she never thinks about hold her own party. 

But this day, she decided to try practicing hospitality in a way that she's not used to.

The party went well, actually! 

People enjoyed the food...

 

the togetherness...

 

and the cake, for sure...

 

Kumin herself, enjoyed more the game after the party :p

Haha, she really do better in smaller groups, doesn't she?

May 15, 2011

Kumin woke up early with a terrible back pain... 

(Errr.....我是不是真的老了呀？？)

Kumin usually goes to fellowship meeting every Sunday afternoon. 

But that Sunday, she needed to skip the fellowship because her friend, Sunisa, needed her help.

Sunisa -- Kumin's friend, she loves eating, speaking and sleeping. 

A totally a fun friend to hang-out with!

                                                                                                  

S: Kumin, can you help me on Sunday afternoon? I want to extract the enzyme.
K: Sunday? Afternoon?
S: Yes, I really want to finish it you know. But P'Kathi is busy with HPLC and 

　　　　Geraldine also cannot. Prof. Xia wants her to finish her paper.

P' Kathi -- Kumin's friend, a clever PhD student. But she can also going crazy, 

especially if you bring her to KTV! She can dance whole night! :p

Geraldine -- also Kumin's friend. She is good in study, doing experiment, cooking, 

singing, helping friends and bet she is also good in teaching..

Prof. Xia -- Geraldine's professor.

K: Mm...How about Monday?
S: Cannot....
K: OK, Sunday morning. I usually go to the fellowship on Sunday afternoon.
S: Cannot...
K: Why?
S: Sleeping... he he he.. Cannot wake up in the morning. Afternoon is OK, Kumin..
K: -__-" Sa..... (Errr.... 这个人，怎么这么能这样啊？)

K: /Speechless... OK, Sunday afternoon, what time? 2 PM?
S: I will call you, OK?

Kumin waited Sa to call her whole morning~~~

　　　　　　Kumin was actually thinking about a lot of things that day.

　　　　　　　　心情不好。 身体很累。人都不在。

　　　　　　　　　　Was not in a very good mood. Tired. Nobody was available.

　　　　　　　　　　　　Even Yahoo Messenger didn't help~

　　　　　　　　

Aa...Though she was worried about Sa's experiment (that they will not be able to finish it today, it was too late to start) 

but.... 那就睡觉吧.... she preferred to sleep. 

After woke up,  she felt better.

Still no response from Sa....... 
(Maybe it’s better if I just go straight to the laboratory...) 

By the time she arrived at the laboratory, Kumin found out that Sa was out for dinner. 

　　　　P' Kathi: Sa said she is so proud that u don't go to church to help her

　　　　K: BUT, P' KATHI WHERE IS SHE NOW?? I SKIPPED THE FELLOWSHIP FOR HER.... 

　　　　　AND NOW SHE IS OUT FOR DINNER?? 

　　　　   And it's been 1.5 hours, where actually did she take her dinner?" 

Sa finally went back at 7.00 PM, then they started SIEVING RICE FLOUR!!! (instead of enzyme extraction as she were told before)

(I'm totally confused with Sa...）

But.... it's always been a great time to share with Sa.. They laughed a lot! 

And well they did a lot of progress  finding out the best method to sieve the flour! Yee Haaa!! 

So from 7.30 PM until near 11 PM, Sa milled 2 kg of rice while Kumin sieved the flour, tiring...累极了~~

BUT......when she was ready to sleep........

1. She remembered her appointment with E-scratura. 

E-scratura sent her a sweet video wishing her a happy birthday!

E-scratura – Kumin’s friend, they became friend exactly 2 years ago. 

She is a unique sister that would be hard to forget.

‘妹妹，谢谢你！我很感动哦！’

2. Wasn't expecting other thing,吕圆suddenly, out of nowhere, asked her how was her day?（Errr.... 我想睡。而且，你是不是比我很早就想睡了呀？）

吕圆 – Kumin’s partner in G2. 

A friend at all times and sister during adversities.

3. 11.30 PM, Like it’s not the end yet, Sa buzzed her on YM telling that she was hungry and she wanted to cook something together.

K: Sa, u can have the birthday cake, we still have a leftover, and we also have mashed potato.
I will open the door for you; you can come and get it now

S: Wait for a moment; I’ll take a bath now. I’ll call you after that, OK?

Energy was all depleted~~~ She went to pray. Thanking God for friends, for the chance she has in China. And in sudden, she remembered all the problems she was facing. Father, just please help me arrange my research. There is nothing more I can do. Please… 

She cried but in sudden she also felt warmth, she heard Father saying, “放心吧，I’ll give a birthday present for u.” 

Not long after that, she fell asleep. 

Calling...

Sunisa Sa

K: Sa? Finish?

S: Yeah!! Aa, you sleep already?

K: En…

S: Crazy!! I have cooked, come on bring the cake here, let’s eat!

K: OK, you can open your door. I will just drop the cake, OK? I don’t want any other meal

S: OK, OK, you come now, OK?

…. to be continued…
