Reunion

Dear All,

It's been a long time since I update my blog. Now I will try to write about what I have experienced recently. As some of you know that I have been back in Indonesia and I stay there for about 3 months. I met my friend and high school friends and have a little reunion to catch up with them what new in their life. My recent update is the reunion with my high school friend that stay in Europe.

I made a little comparison between my life with their life. My friends back home all already settled, they have married, some of them have babies and stable job (some has their own business and company). My high school friend that decide to stay here in Europe, they still haven't married but they have already got stable job with high salary. Some of them have already bought a house.

I asked myself "Will I be able to catch up?". I was thinking hard about this after I meet them .. It gives me motivation that I need to improve myself, but in the other hand I felt that I was too far behind compare to them. I can not complain about why I am still with my life now since I believe that I like all of my decision I took, I also think that all of my experience good or bad teach me a lesson.

Now what I can do is to continue to life to the fullest. I have no one else to blame for my life. I have to learn in searching and taking the opportunity. I will set my priority right and I will do it the best I can.

So do your best, It's your own life you live in now.

Where does the life come from ?

Hi All,

I will tell you a little story about where the life come from. I got the knowledge from the documentary I saw. I watched a lot of them and try to combined them with my knowledge I hope that I can make it into a little story, so here we go.

Once a long time ago before life exists in this earth. The earth was hot. Just imagine in the early age of earth the sea was boiling, it was called the primordial soup. The ancient gas of the earth with the electricity from thunder make it possible to create on the sea, amino acid (the building blocks of the organic material). This phenomenon has already confirmed in the laboratory.

Every living organism need to have the pattern to assemble the part (amino acid). That pattern was called DNA or in the simpler organism is RNA. This pattern is the one that control each cells how they will become, how each cells create their protein and what they should be. The DNA responsible for making the organic material to meet their pattern. In another term DNA made organic material alive. If you imagine on the different term it will be a code written in the machine.

So now the first big question is where the first DNA (ACTG)or RNA(ACGU) come from. Now it has already proven in the laboratory with the simulation of warm pool (being told by Charles Darwin) we can create the C and U (which is part of RNA). It is just a matter of time before we can create the whole thing and maybe build an organism from scratch. Many different combination of RNA different amino acid with some material (fatty acid) that make membrane, the first cells was formed. 

So the next question is how the first cells survive ? What they eat ? How they reproduce ? So I believe this will be the condition of the first cells
1.  It is floating around on the sea and just follow the flow
2. The first cells eat the organic material (amino acid that found a lot on the sea that time ). I believe the first cells do not have mouth it is just the amino acid that come inside the membrane.
3. I believe that the first cells do not know how to reproduce, it is the wind force and water flow that separate one cell into two, it will took by chance if the separated cells has enough components to be alive. so it is took time for the first cells to become many.

So after the first cells alive how it can become now ?
The next thing that happen is what we called evolution and that is a really long process. To understand the process we need to understand DNA a little bit. The DNA is just a chain of 4 different type non organic material (A-T and C-G) and when the chain is changing in sequence, the organism will have different characteristic. This is what we called mutation. The organism changing their characteristic by mutation, they will continue to pass their characteristic to the next organism since they already have different characteristic embedded in their DNA. The next thing that happened was the natural selection, the strong characteristic organism will survive and the not strong characteristic organism will extinct.

The next question I got is how come a single cell organism become the multiple cell organism ?
I believe that the answer on that lies on the science book that I read when I was a child and also from my teacher that explained that to me when I am in my high school. Please imagine that the earth is full with one single cell organism but the organic material almost gone, they need to find a source for their energy so some of them evolve to break down chemical substance (hydrogen sulfide) into energy, it's called chemosynthesis (this kind of organism still found in the deepest part of the sea where the light can not get through, all the organism there do not develop eyes since there is no light, they get the chemical from the magma and the lava from underwater volcanoes down below). Some of them taken the light as their energy which is photosynthesis that we know now. Others taken their energy by eating the other organism that is also one cells organism. So just imagine there will be a strong one cell organism that will eat the other one. In response into this, the weaker cells perform a coordination to protect themselves. They join together and working together, We can still see one cell organism that behave like this. This coordination I believe to be the ancient form of multiple cell organism. The example of these kind of organism still alive today, it is called the super organism. So basically the multiple cell organism is just a single cell organism that is working together. So just imagine that each of your cell has their own DNA and code and each of your cells working together to perform their task to become you and make you alive.

There is someone asked me this question so how come that now we still have a single cells and not all become multiple cells or complex and well developed organism ?
As our evolution showed. It is all about the mutation and natural selection. If the DNA code mutate then it will have different organism, if it can survive then it can pass their characteristic to their next kind, but if it not then it will perished, but what happened to the one that is not mutate, they will still have the same characteristic and as the natural selection happened they might survive or not based on their condition, their ability to adapt and continue to reproduce.

I hope that it will be able to answer some of the question that you have and I hope that I can give a little bit of my knowledge that I get. I believe that I do not have all of the answer but this is the knowledge that I got for now and what I believe in. Hope that we all can know the real truth.

Moved in Netherland

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I haven't write anything for about 2 years. I had tried to fixed my life for a while. I had a lot of problem in the past 2 years, about the job, the religion and some others but everything is working out now. I like where I am now, how I live now and what I do. I am afraid I cannot tell all of my problem to you but I believe that I reach into solution and reach a good state now. There is a lot has changed in my life and I believe I grew to be a better man. So here is my current status
  1. Lives in Eindhoven and will be staying here for at least 2 years, hopefully more
  2. Work as Software Technology Trainee in Eindhoven University of Technology
  3. Happy to be single but hoping to find the right girl to live with for the rest of my life.
  4. I consider myself to be atheist now, since all of the science knowledge that I got just in the past two years can explain where the live come from, If you say about religion. I think my religion will be science. I will write further about this later on.
So that will be the update I can tell now. Hope all the best for everyone.

"Software Agents for Stock Market Trading" - My First Book

Hi everyone,

I just want to share with you that I have published my first book. The book is my project thesis for my master degree. I wrote down all the experiment that I have done for creating software agents for stock market trading. I built my simulation and test the software agents on my simulation using real transaction data.

It gives me a really good result and I think that I can apply it in a real world. At first I am not sure about sharing this as a book, but after a lot of thinking I finally I publish it. I supposed this knowledge can be share with everyone to make people change their mind about putting money on forex or stock market, because in near future all the transaction will be done automatically using software agents. This agents will not be so smart like people, but it will have several advantages for being automatic. It will not have feeling or time limitation so it can control and keep track on the stock market 24hours. The stock market and forex market has already move towards this trend. The question is "Can you beat this agents ?" Because the agents will get money for sure.

I hope that I am sharing a little bit of my knowledge to you. This is the link to my book from amazon.

My Book in Amazon



Hope that everyone can read my work. Hopefully I can open your mind about the software agents.

Best Regards,

Djohan Wahyudi.

Just Back from Indonesia

Hi all,

Already a long time did not write anything. I want to give you an update now. I just get back from Indonesia. I was back there to attend my brother wedding. It was a really great time meet all of my family again. I was so grateful for this opportunity, after being away for 2 years. I am so happy I can be back with my family.

While I am there, I got all the support from all of my family. I am so grateful to have a loving and caring family. Even though all of them has their own trouble, but they still care and want to help me somehow. I know that I always depend everything in someone else. I can not stand by myself. I always looking for an advice for any decision I took. Now it's my time to decide for myself. I will do the best I can and I believe that GOD will blessing me with the best plan HE has. I have already made up my mind that I will do the transaction in forex using Metatrader. I have already learn and I getting more and more confident to put my money on it. I know that I shouldn't in rush since my brother has the experience of losing money on the forex. But I believe that forex will make me a good passive income.

My brother wedding was really beautiful. All of it was a success. Beautiful couple, beautiful party, beautiful church ceremony. I have to admit that it was my favorite one. I don't know why but I am just quite amazed by it. I am so glad that I can be be the organizer and involved in it somehow. I believe that I will be married in a wonderful ceremony someday and I believe that I can build a wonderful family.

Hope all the best for everyone. Do your best and GOD will bless it. GOD is with you always.

If you know what you want. You will get it for sure

Hi, I just want to share my experience just now in finding a room. At first, I just want to make a point. If you really know what you want you will get it for sure. Make a criteria for it. Make the priority. After that just try to search for it. I always ends up with getting what I want. And I hope it will work for you too.

It's all start in your mind. You have to know if you want something. Your mind will create the imagination of what you want. Your mind will create a preference for it and you will know what you want if you see it. To make up your mind you have to know your first priority and start with that. That is quite easy for me. My first priority was to find a cheap place to stay.

In searching for my room I know the price range for the room that I want. So I start by looking in the internet. I imagine my budget will be 250 pounds per month and I have to live near my working place. I start to search for that criteria and I filter the room that I found. In searching the room, I called, I made an appointment and I went to see the room and made the comparison for it. I did not make any promise to anyone until I know exactly which room I want. I just want to give an advice if you want to buy or do something, do not directly buy or do it. Make a comparison first, even though it's only 2 or 3 comparison to another choice, you will be glad because you know that you are doing the right choice. Besides that I guess all of it is just based on your luck. I don't know if you believe on it or not. But I am quite believe in luck. After all the search I found the room only half of my budget in a good location. It has right size, even with a bathroom inside. The only problem is the noise I will have from the pub below, but I will try it anyway. Maybe I just buy an earplug ^^.

If you do not found what you want. I think it will help if you make a time limitation. Just try to decide the best choice within that time. But just keep in mind that you will get what you want. It work for me and finally you will get it for sure. People set their own standart and value. They will get what they want according to their own effort. Are you deserved or not to get what you want ? If you think you can get it then you will get it. If you deserve to get it, you will get it. All of the basic law of the universe will applied on this. You will need to work to get it and if everything in the right place in the right time in the right situation you will get it for sure.

I think that everything is possible. You have to keep your effort high. Keep your dream big and keep trying. You will get what you want for sure.

Hope all the best for everyone. Hope you will get what you want.

Best Regards,

Djohan Wahyudi.

Try to decide what I want to do in life

Hi There,

If you follow me from the start. Maybe you will know that I am still confused with what I want to do in my life. But I tell you now that I will take the decision starting now. I have already asked a lot of people, young or old, professor or little kid, student or worker, In other word, I asked almost everyone. But I did not found a particular answer that suit me. Until recently I think about it again, after I know a little bit about life (from my experience studying, traveling and working). Everything start to make sense for me and I guess I will tell you what I am going to do with my life.

I have searched the answer to "What is the purpose of your life ?" since I finished my undergraduate degree. That time I spend my time in the internet, chatting with a bunch of guys or girls I don't know from all around the world. I just try to figure out what they will say. But unfortunately I didn't get what I want. From my point of view the people that was chatting in the internet still do not know exactly what they want to do in their life and that is why they spend their time chatting in the internet.

After that I get to work and figure out that everyone in my working place just try to finished their job and just try to stay on their job. I learn a lot of new point of view from the employee. And then I move town to continue my job. I get the good life and know how a professionals enjoy their life. After that I get the opportunity to study in Taiwan. I get the experience to study abroad, live far away from my family and start to live independently. Luckily I still have a lot of friend there. After learn this experience I get another scholarship to Europe. I do not have any friends there and I have to start a new life there. As you know I have to move to different countries each 3 months. I have to adapt fast. Everything was quite difficult but everything working out and I get my summer holiday.

I go around Europe during my summer time and I use couchsurfing during the time. I starting to ask the question again to the people I met. And I don't find the perfect answer yet. After that I finished all of my research and I have to make decision once again what I want to do in my life. I can work or do PHD. I still do not know what I should do. I really want to do the PHD but I don't really know. I will still continue my research. I want to become the richest man in the world. I just hope everything will working as it plan. Please pray for me.

I have an advice. Try to decide what you want to do in your life, because whether you will or not, your life will still continue and whether you take the decision or not, The decision will be made. Right now you have to start to make decision so in the future when you look back to your life you will say "I did my Best". And starting now just imagine yourself what you want to be, where you will be in the next year, next five years, next ten years. Just imagine all the situation. I just hope it will help what you want to do with your life.

Best of Luck and Hope all the best for everyone.

T-Mobile Lock the Phone. Really pain in the ass.

Hi all,

I just settle down in Birmingham, UK. I trying to do the same thing I should do everytime I move to a new place. Trying to know the neighborhood, find the supermarket, know where to find internet, etc.

I have quite a problem when I try to find the internet. First I have already doing some research about the internet broadband. At first I need to buy the Dongle. And I buy that with 3 months contract. Everything going well until I can not use Skype. I managed to return that with a really hard time to speak with the manager in Carphone Warehouse.

But after that I guess T-Mobile is the one that have unlimited internet with only 10 pounds. This is a SIM only contract for each month. You can stop it anytime you want, that what they say. I know that after searching the internet I can use my 5800 Nokia as a modem. I buy the contract and then I have it. But after get out from the stores I know that I can not use my old number (Vodafone) in my Nokia 5800 because I will use it as internet. This number is known by all of my friend and I use the number to search for a job. This number is important for me, so I try to buy the cheapest phone I can buy in T-Mobile and try to put my Vodafone inside.

After I put it inside I can not use it because they lock the phone. T-mobile was a really pain in the ass. I don't know about this locking when I buy the phone. I just think that "Pay as you go phone" will not be unlock. I try to go back to the stores and they say that I can unlock the phone by searching in Google. But after some time, I know that I can not do that. I try to contact them using email and they call me in the morning. They say that I need to wait for 3 months until I can unlock it for free. They suggest me to change my vodafone to T-Mobile so I can use it with my phone. And finally I ask "Can I just return my phone ?" and they say yes you can we have 7 days policies for that. The next morning I try to return the phone and they say we do not have 7 days policies for stores. They say it is because "You have know and you have already see the phone in the stores". We do not force you for anything, but I say to them that "I do not know about the locking phone". I mad there and but they say "we can not do anything, it is the rules". I told them that I have already contact T-mobile by email and they say that they have 7 days policies and they say you can contact them again and let them hear about that.

So I am really fed up with this problem and I will try to solve it. Everything was a really mess up. The lessons I get from this is "Do not decide to do something when you are under pressure or under time limit, you have to think about it overnight to decide something, hopefully you will not make a mistakes." Thankfully my case is just really small risk and little amount of money. I still try to solve this problem and I will. So I have only 2 option now.

1. Try to unlock the phone for free. I have already found the program for that but I need the USB Cable (around 3 pounds in Ebay). or trying to unlock using the code.

2. Change my vodafone into T-Mobile number.

I guess I will try to do the first option first, if I can not do it until my vodafone credit is gone I will try to do the option 2.

Now I'm trying to search for a job. Hopefully I will find one soon. Hope me good luck. In case you still do not know, I have finished my dissertation and I have done everything. So next plan is search for a job. Please pray for me.

Almost finish my studies and what next.

Hi all,

I am here because I miss my blog. I am quite busy finishing my dissertation and I am sorry can not update this blog for some time.

Everything is going well now and I almost finish my dissertation. I don't know if I have already mention about it before, my dissertation title is Intelligent Agents for Stock Market Trading. I just create an agent that will trade according with some algorithm and it will simulate on the simulation using real stock market data. Now I have already done all the simulation, I just need to do a little bit more to calculate the fee and I want to make sure if my agent can make profit in the long range. I will have my presentation on 24th of March. I guess everything will be fine, because I think I have already make all the important task and I just need to do a little bit more.

I guess everything is going really well, but I have something more to think about now. The question is "What next ?". This is bothering me so much and I am quite worry about my future, even though I know that I will have a wonderful future and still have a great opportunity. I guess I still a little bit worry about it. There are several options I can do.

1. Search for PHD to continue my research.
2. Search for a job in UK, because I can apply for working visa there.
3. Search for available internship in Summer.
4. Get MBA course (I have already applied), while working.
5. Back to Taiwan to continue my Master program.

I guess right now I will try to search all the opportunity I can find. I am really worry about this and I will just take all the opportunity I can get. I have already find a place to stay in UK so that place will be my base place before I find the next opportunity, but I just guess I will find it soon, because as you know I am a really lucky guy and the life is easy for me.

So please pray for me for my dissertation, and Hope me good luck for my future.

I hope all the best for everyone.

My Christmas Time in Thessaloniki

Hi all,

Today is 25th of December 2009. I have my first Christmas time in Greece. I have a really good time at Christmas last year in UK. And now I get also really wonderful Christmas in Thessaloniki. I will tell you what happen to me on 24th and 25th of December 2009.

At 24th there are 2 families invites me to their house. So I go to the first one in Tom's house around 1 o clock. They invite a lot of people in that party. I stay there until 4 o clock. Here is the photo when I am there.


Then I back home and I go to another family from my church that invite me for dinner. They are a German couple that recently move here to Thessaloniki. We have great conversation and great time together.

After that I go home and sleep.

In the 25th I go to the church and talk with some of the member of the church there. I take a picture with my pastor and a really nice old lady in my church. Here is the picture.

When I am on the church suddenly my friend from couchsurfing send me an SMS and asking me if I have plan for that day and he invite me to his house to eat lunch with his family. I directly accept his invitation. I don't have a plan anyway. Then I eat really big meals on his place.

I have a wonderful time on Christmas. I just hope it will be the same as your Christmas time.

Wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

TIps and Trick for Cheap Travel in Europe

Hi all back again writing for the tips and trick,

I was doing a lot of traveling in my summer. Like I say in my previous post, I have already traveling around Europe. I travel with quite little amount of money compare with other people but I am not doing that much compare to the one that really-really don't have money. I will explain later the difference. I will tell you about the tips and trick for traveling in Europe.


1. Transport.

- Low Cost Airlines (Ryanair and Easyjet)
For transport I use Ryanair flight which is really cheap. I get the promotion ticket for 1 euro that time. So everytime I fly I just spent 1 euro. So that time I will just look at their map (where they fly) and then I just make the route and find the promotion ticket. Usually they have the promotion almost everyweek, just register with them and you will have the promotion sent to your email. The problem with this Ryanair is the airport is quite far from the city so you need to spend more money to get on the bus or train to get to the city. The other problem is there are so many regulation that you have to pay attention to, otherwise you will pay more money. You will be allowed to bring only 1 bag for 10 kg (55cm x 40cm x 20cm), for your carry hand baggage. For more information about baggage you can find out (here) You will need to print your boarding pass or otherwise you will need to pay 40 euro in the airport.

- Local Transport
I always go to the tourist information office for the information of everything. Usually you will have a free map and all the information you need. You can ask for the daily ticket or any ticket that is for tourist. It will save you quite money if you using it a lot, but everything is depend on how you want to travel. For sure it will be cheaper to walk all around.

- HitchHike
I haven't use this but I guess I want to try to use it some time in the future. I have meet quite a lot of people doing this and they say it is working and this is the cheapest way for the transport. The tips and trick I get from them is just find the road to get out from the city, write your destination in cartoon or big paper and then just raise your tumb. One of them say that the longest time for them to get the pick up is 1 hour even that he already traveling around europe.


2. Place to sleep

- Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club
I use couchsurfing in almost all places I have been in Europe, but in some cities I stay with my friend. Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club is the website that people can offer their house for someone to sleep on for free. Usually is for several days and they want to host people to make friends and meeting other people from different culture. My tips and trick of staying in couchsurfing is just be nice and just do whatever you can to help your host, for instance washing dishes is one of the simplest one. If you can cook, cook for them. If they ask you to go out for a drinks, pay for their drinks also (if you have quite money to do that). All the other that you need, you can read in their profile I guess, what they like, what they don't like. And always write personal message. What I mean by personal is maybe at least more than 3 lines. You can explain yourself and why you want to go there.

- Cheap hostel
In Europe there are a lot of cheap hostel. You can find most of them easily, by looking in some website like www.hostelworld.com or www.hostel.com. You can read the rate and their location there. You can ask in tourist information also if you have already in the city.

- In airport or park
I know some people that doing this. They bring sleeping bag or tent and they can sleep anywhere. But it is quite dangerous if you do in the winter. In summer is fine but that is my last option. There is no point of doing this because compare to couchsurfing you will have a comfortable place to sleep also for free.


3. Food.

- Bread from supermarket
That is the cheapest one I can find. I don't know about the food you usually have but this works for me. I just buy the bread, ham and some cheese and put it together to become a sandwich. I eat this for my breakfast, lunch and dinner.

- Cook
If you can cook and if you using couchsurfing you can cook for them. You can buy all the stuff you need in the supermarket and use their kitchen to cook. There is only 1 times that I failed ^^. All the other host really like my cooking.

- FastFood
I guess the next option is the fast food. A lot of people do not feel like to eat fast food because they think that is not healthy. But it works for me as long as it was the cheapest one. I guess in Europe Fast Food is the cheapest one, but not in Asia. So just take a look on the price first before you decide.

- Restaurant or Bar
The next option for me is restaurant and bar. You can not avoid it if you using the couchsurfing with the guy that don't eat fast food. So just follow them, you can offer to cook for them but if it's already the time to eat .. just eat. You can separate the bills or if you have some money you can pay for him also.


4. Go around the city

- Plan where you go
You have to know at least what you want to visit in that place. All the rest you can ask the information on the place. But even if you don't know anything about the city you can ask in tourist information. Usually there always 1 in each airport or in the train station or in the city center.

- Tourist Information
It's always good to visit tourist information. Usually you can have free map. They can explain you all the time schedule what to visit and all the free places you can go. This is the favourite question I always ask.
"I will be here for ... days can you suggest me where to go and what to see ?"
"Is there any free places or free museums ?"
"What is the most famous monument/place in this city ?"
"Is there are any travel/pass card for tourist ?"

-Information from couchsurfing host
There are more information you can get from your couchsurfing. Sometimes you will have something that even the tourist information forget to tell you about. Or maybe he know the beautiful places that is not shown on the map. One of the advantages if they can have the time to show you around the city. So what I say to you is just use couchsurfing. Of course if you are a girl I am not recommend you to travel alone using this. At least have 1 friend with you.

I guess all of my explanation cover almost everything you need in traveling cheap in Europe. ... SO Happy Traveling

My summer experience

After a long time not writing this Blog. Finally I am back. I will catch up with you because there are so many things happen.

The first one is my summer holiday. I get three months summer holiday which is really-really long period of time. I want to return to my country Indonesia, but I have to pay a lot for that. So in the end my parents just told me to stay in Europe and try to save money. It's not worth to spend the money on the flight ticket and then doing nothing in my country. I guess that is the best advice I got. So I am beginning my journey to go around Europe.

I will make it short because 3 months is too long to describe all. So I will just write down only the important stuff. I am traveling with Ryanair and they say it's the cheapest airlines in Europe. I get the promotion ticket which is only 1 euro each time I fly, so I make the route and book many flights that time. Then I have another problem because I will spend a lot of money in hostel and other stuff, but my friend told me about couchsurfing and this is really change my life. I stay with someone in couchsurfing in different countries for free. I will describe all of this in my later post. But for now I will keep short. I will just tell you all the countries I went in summer. Here is the list :

- Netherlands (Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Delft, Den Haag, Amsterdam(only airport))
- Denmark (Copenhagen)
- Sweden (Malmo, Gothenburg, Stockholm)
- Norway (Oslo)
- Finland (Turku, Helsinki, Tampere)
- Germany (Hamburg, Berlin, Postdam, Wittenberg, Luneberg, Stade, Bermen, Munster, Osnabruck, Koln, Frankfurt)
- Italy (Milan, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Pisa, Roma)
- Belgium (Brussels)
- United Kingdom (Liverpool, Manchester)
- Spain (Madrid, Aranjuez, Granada, Cordoba)
- Portugal (Lisboa, Sintra)

So I guess that is the list of the country I have been in the summer. I am sorry I can not write all of my experience one by one but I will tell you more information about my long summer trip on the next post. I will try to write down all of my travel experience in Europe. I will also explain a little bit about the tips and trick how to do that.

Oke ... that is all for now. I will try to update this blog as soon as I have time.

Hope all the best for everyone

Baptized today ... and God answering the question of my life

Hi there,

I am so happy today because I have been baptized. I don't feel much different though. After baptized I expect something spectacular, but I just feel the same as before ^^.

There is something different today though, in this big occasion of my life. God answer my question, the question I have been asking for several years. The question I have been asking for is "What is the purpose of my life ?". My friends here in Madrid giving me one book as gift for my baptism that maybe is God answer to that particular question. I don't even talk about this particular question to my friend here in Madrid, because we just meet for several weeks, so in the end I just think that this is God answer through my friends.

The title of the book is "THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE" by Rick Warren, I am sure that this book can answer my question. This book will take 40 days for me to read. The book explain why we need 40 days to read it. There will be 40 chapter to read and we have to read one chapter each day and think about it before continuing to next chapter. I will dedicate my time to read this book everyday in the next 40 days, even though I have exam in next day and next week. I think it will be fine because I will need to only read one chapter each day.

I will face my exam tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that and in the next several weeks. So I really need your help. Please pray for me so God will give me strengths. I believe He will give me all the best, and I can face the exam easily.

Hope all the best for everyone.

Best Regards,

Djohan Wahyudi.

I will do my dissertation in Greece

Hi,

I want to tell you all that I have to do my dissertation in Greece. After a long process of thinking and asking for supervisor, finally they told me that I have to do my dissertation in Greece. Maybe this is the way GOD want for me. Actually I have already thinking about it a lot and I have already imagined that I will be in Greece. My professor have already agreed my proposal so I do not have anything else to worry about.

Oh maybe there is something I have to worry about. That is about my visa to go to Greece. I know that I can go to Greece using the student visa I get from Spain, but they told me that I have to apply for another student card for Greece. It will be different, I still do not know about it and I guess I will have to handle this situation by myself because it's looks like no one knows about it.

I will take a look on Greece embassy website, how to apply the visa and how to fulfill all of the requirements. I will try to figure about it before I go to another country, but I'm sure that I can finish all of this before go to another country for summer.

And about the summer. I plan to work for summer internship, I have apply a lot but I still do not know if I'm going to get the job or not. Besides I have already plan to traveling around Europe also, I plan to go to Skandinavian Country, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherland, Paris and Poland. I do not know if I am going to be able to visit all of this countries but that is my plan for now. It might have a little change but overall this is the plan.

Hope me good luck okay ... I hope that I can finish all of this plan and visa problem before going to another countries.

Hope the best for everyone

Best Regards,

Djohan Wahyudi.
