Howdy..
Okay, I just got this first assignment. Me (and all the other students) must submit a paper about some topics provided by the teacher. Because this is my first time, I just do what I can. I wrote it like I used to write in blog. By the end of the day, I finally finished about seven pages of them. I printed it out, booked it, and submitted it to the academic. Then, I sent the pdf version to the teacher by email.
On the next day, I met my classmate. He asked me about the paper. I told him that I have sent the pdf version of the paper to the teacher email and have submitted the “real” paper at the academic. He told me that he’s using chm format for the paper. Continue reading
Dear blog,

While in the second, the group must shows the implementation of the solution they presented earlier. There were some weeks range between the first and the second presentation. Continue reading
So, why am I blogging you are asking?
I still remember the old days when I started to write blog. Like a child who found a new toy, I showed it off to all of the people. Not just showed off, but also tempted my friends to start their own blog. And I still remembered it clearly as day, one of my pals said these things. He said that what are blog used for? It’s just a narcissistic writing by some dudes, telling about their lives and bla bla bla. But you know that I don’t buy it, because you’re reading mine, right? And I don’t think I am a narcissist (0kay, maybe a little).
I’ll give you my story. It started some years ago. I was thinking it was cool to have a place where I can write some and access it from everywhere. Yes, I’m talking about writing on the clouds. At that time, I wasn’t thinking about what should I wrote. I just wanna write, that’s all. Continue reading
