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

In Spain

Hi there,

I am in Spain .. now. I met several Indonesian student here, they all so nice to me. I have been to several city in Spain (Madrid, Granada, Toledo, Valencia, Barcelona). I will post you for the photo later because until now I still haven't see them yet. I do not know what is happening but for sure I feel that I do not have time to do everything, even though I watch movies and traveling for some time but I always feel that I do not have enough time here, I don't know why. In here I don't like my place but I can not do anything because I have paid the deposit, I live with one family that have a baby. The baby (one year) is always shouting without reason and the husband and wife often fighting. I don't like it to be in this situation. But anyway I will be in UK or Greece, I will only need to hang on for another month, hope I can stand it.

Let me tell you about my project now. I will do my theses project in Stock Market Trader Agent. The idea is to buy and sell the stock automatically. The agent should make the decision to buy and to sell. Right now I have been assigned to UK to do the project, but I still confuse because until now I still can not find supervisor there. I am really glad to be assigned in Reading, but after talk with other people and can't find supervisor there, I don't mind if I have to go to Greece. I will post to you later where I will be for the project. Right now both is okay with me. I think I will wait for my coordinator decision. I don't mind at all to go to UK or Greece.

I will explain to you also my comparison between UK and Greece. In UK there wouldn't be any trouble in communication because they use English. I have a lot of friends there and it will be so nice to be there. There wouldn't be any language boundaries to work in UK. While In Greece, you will have free food and you do not need to cook. You will save a lot of money by staying there. The teacher will help you for sure doing your theses. All the comparison I made is only the positive one, because I will be assigned in one of this places anyway, so I need to be in positive energy about the place.

Hope I will be assigned in the place I should be. I am really confuse now and still can't decide what should I do. I just keep praying and hoping that I can have the best of it. I just wait for GOD decision for me. I am sure He will give me the best place to go. I believe in Him.

Please pray for me ... And Hope the best for everyone.

Sooo many assignment in Greece

Sorry, because I have already abandon you for some time, because there are so many assignment right now I have to face.

The first assignment is Neural Network and Fuzzy logic, we have to build a program to handle the classification in Neural Network and the fuzzy logic we have to build the model for some dataset. For both of them we use Matlab.

The second assignment is come from database course. There is two assignment in database, one is presentation and the other is data mining task.

In presentation we are divided into 7 groups consist of 3 people. and we have to choose different topic that our professor interested in. There is some restriction we have to face in making the group because there is people who don't have any computer background should not be in the same group. Another restriction we have are We only have one week to prepare the presentation and the report. We chose a topic about Text Mining. This is really broad area and in here we just try to explain everything and not so deep, and apparently our professor think that we don't understand much about this topic. But I think we handle the presentation quite well.

In data mining task we are also divided in groups, but here we are given the dataset from KDD Cup 99 which is handle with intrusion detection. In here we have to know if we have the intrusion, and classify them into 4 different class of intrusion. One of my friend in Taiwan make this one as his thesis in his master degree. I was surprise that we have this kind of project in only 2 weeks course. We only have time one month to do all of this stuff. Thankfully we have WEKA as our tools, otherwise we don't know what to do.

The third assignment we have are Virtual Reality in Human Computer Interaction. In here we have group also, with different task. We choose the most simple one, that is building Robot with VRML. We have to create the interface to control the robot. The other have to deal with Speech recognition, GPS System and other stuff. I guess we are really lucky to get this kind of task. I will do it right after I finish my assignment in Data Mining and Neural Network.

The last but not least is the assignment from E-Business. In here we have to build some application with PHP, that is what I know anyway from the information. We still haven't do the class, So I still don't know what we will face in this, but what I know is maybe it will be big application, and it will have personal assignment ... maybe, not group anymore.

And in the last week we will have the exam for all of the courses. We have to study about all of the slide in one week, I will try to read from now, I still have around four weeks before the exam. I guess I can manage to study all the material.

Okay, hope you have the picture of what I am doing right here in Thessaloniki, Greece. They put a lot of information to us and they hope we manage to get all the information. They already reduce the number of information but anyway they have a lot of time, I mean in one semester for other student, and we only have like 2 weeks for one course. Too much information in relatively short time.

I hope I will finish all of these assignment as soon as possible. Please pray for me and hope me good luck.

Hope the best for Everyone ...

Bye bye
