This afternoon i wrote a summary of a detective book for my German tutorial program. I am always lazy to bring my dictionaries (2 dictionaries, exactly — Indonesian-German and German-Indonesian. The pocket dictionary is not enough when i write something — i always look for some strange words which are not on that small dictionary). That is why i always find myself sitting down in front of the computer near the window (my favorite place lately!) in Self Language Learning Center in university. There i can use internet and borrow books for improving my German (err... most of time i use internet to check my accounts in some social media webs, though :p).
Okay, back to main story :p
Based on the book, i wrote that the character was drunk and drove his car. Because of his stupid action, the car accident happened. My problem was that i was not sure whether it is right to say 'he hit on someone by his car' or not. I thought that the verb 'hit' is like an action that you hit someone with hand, not with car or bicycle. I checked on google translate and i found 'hit'. Because sometimes i did not believe that website (well, we can not believe translator for 100%), i wrote a tweet asking to my friends. In less than 5 minutes my friends in senior high school, a college classmate, and a friend in flashmob replied me and said that 'hit someone by car' is right.
I find that it is the good thing being connected in social media. I can keep touch with my friends, although we are 11,087 KM apart. I can get fast response, finish my summary soon, and write a blog post like now. :D
Cheating Baking
Tonight an Erasmus student from Slovenia celebrates her birthday. I alwasys have a good time talking with her, so i decided to do something for her. I wanted to buy a present, but really bad choosing it (really difficult to find a good present, but not too expensive :\). Bringing cake sounds better for me (hope for her too). I baked brownies and it is successful! I always failed baking this kind of cake in Indonesia. I tried twice and both of them were disaster. Yet today, the first time i bake in Germany, the brownies looks very gooood. Well, actually the volume was increase uneven (like a hill), but still looks good.
How could it turn so well? Hmmm... actually i cheat. I used the cake mix. Just put the mix, eggs, water, and oil. Then bake it for 40 minutes. Voila, i have the good looking brownies! :D Fast and good. I feel like doing cheat in baking. Hope it tastes good! Let's see in the birthday party!

Today is Blueday
Since yesterday i feel very uneasy. Today i feel even worse. A good friend left Bremen today. Before the train was coming, i just kept quite. I was sad, but could not say anything. I bursted into tears when she hugged me. I never thought that i would cry like that time. The only thing i could say to her was a good luck wish. Few days ago she asked me whether she will be successful in her home country or not. I said yes. I do wish her many good things will happen to her. I am just too sad, because i do not know when i will meet her. We visited Celle, Stockholm, and Paris together. I hope in the future we can meet again and travel together again.
This is what she wrote on her facebook status:
What a perfect quote from Dr. Seuss.
