Puzzle Time :)

Yup, I loves puzzles, especially this type of puzzle... solved one before about 5 houses, and was just trying to solve it again and see if there are other puzzles with similar type.. and I got it!!!!!

Trying to solve this yesterday for an hour I guess.. it's harder than the 5 houses, but it's so much fun!!!!!!

Try it if you love puzzle as much as I do :)

My Favorite Things

This was one of my favorite song when I was young, and I have it in my iTunes, and I just heard it again, just when I actually feeling down, worried and sad. Well, it do cheer me up and the idea of listing my favorite things came up. :D
First, based on the original song, and.. So.. here we go...........


Morning dew on flowers and leafes and furs on teddy bears
little jewelries and warm woolen mittens
hot chocolates in a cold night
Colorful paper packages tied up with strings and ribbons

Black or white stallion and crisp apple streudels
the sound of piano, harp, and violins, and won ton with noodles
Starry nights

white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my hairs
Silver white winters that melt into springs
Sunny day with cool winds

Cute little children and lots of interesting novels
painting houses with lake and blue skies
hiking with friends and sweet desserts
sitting near fireplace in winter
dancing crazily with friends

go on a ride in a theme park
flying on the back of the horse
solving puzzles and riddles

THOSE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
:D

Bored to the max......

08.20 AM

I am working now... yup I am..
So.... what am I doing now??

Writing my blog.. yeah right..
Why?

Because there's nothing else to do!!!!!!!!
It's public holiday, Easter. Most of the companies in Switzerland would be closed, including the academic of the school. Well.. too bad that my school also provide the accommodation in school, it means that the operation of the school must keep working. And that, including me as a receptionist.

It's just that... there's not much to do. I'm serious. No posts coming, no deliveries, yesterday was the last day of exams and reports for the students, so I'm so sure they went to party crazily last night (it means that they would be dead sleeping until midday) and most of the students are out of the school anyway (since it's holiday, they went traveling abroad).

So.. here I am, sitting behind the reception desk, from 7 AM, with nothing to do (I can't open the document server because of the server error, that means... I can't continue the things that I might be able to do), with no games or chatting allowed and no students to attend to.

I hope the reception-mac will be fixed soon, so I can use it (right now I'm more comfortable with mac rather than PC plus di mac gw punya account sendiri and jg posisinya lebih memungkinkan untuk melakukan hal2 yg ga bersangkut paut dgn kerja haha).

I hope my partner will come soon, coz I have some questions that I need to ask.. .. Our supervisor left us a note of reminders to make sure that we do everything right or not forget about anything because we no, I am alone! And I don't want to make mistakes.. I need the reminder.. but... WHERE DID HE PUT IT???


08.52 AM

Great.. now the school e-mail server is down... I can't open the working e-mail.. The front office program is also down.. How am I supposed to work??


10.53 AM

Ok, Eric took the memo home, and he gave it to me already :) Now I remember what are the things that I could do... It's just that... the server is still down and without the server I can do NOTHING.
Great right? The only things I could do is answering phone calls, give the students their recommended mails and.. .. .. sit nice behind the reception desk and be a nice decoration.

Well, I could pass some time by playing hangman, just found it in igoogle, not great but ok. I just need to wait around 20 more minutes and I could have my lunch break.

Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock......


03.14 PM

At last.... it's working!! And yes, my shift finished at 4 PM. Well... it seems that it's only the email that works though.. the program is not working yet..... OMG.. luckily it's really quiet.. if not.. well... nothing that I can do..
