Sliding on the Ice

This is my 2^nd time for sliding on the ice. I went to skyrink TA after have CUPU IV’s mid exam. And, the paticipants are Jin Feng, Mei Fang, Mei Fen, Yong Fei, Guo Yang, Yang Quan, Qing Rong, Siu Zhen, and Wei Song. When I get into the arena, it’s feel so scary. But, I try to be brave ^^

After a few hours, finally I can sliding on the ice, it’s about walking on the ice huehehe. When I’m across the arena, and almost arrive at the side, I slipped out and fell to the ice. And, the first landing from my part of body is my a**

Wogh.. it is so hurt and I can’t stand up or move even a bit. And, I’ve also got a headache for a while. Until the staff help me to stand up. And I’m still fell the pain. I also feel pain on my tail bone…huhuhu…Until now I write this blog, I’m still in the pain T_T

I hope it’ll be get better as soon as possible. Anyway, thanks to Jin Feng and Yang Quan who want to holding me when sliding on the ice ^^

VPN – Virtual Private Network

VPN is one of remote access that allows you to access public network and use it to integrate in the local network.

There are two types of remote access VPN :

1. Client Initiated

Client initiated is the common use of VPN. If user’s PC want to build a VPN connection, then the PC itself trying to build a tunnel and doing encryption until the data reach to the destination safely. But, this process is still using ISP’s network. Client Initiated VPN is often use by PC to PC rely on VPN Server or VPN concentrator to the destination network.

2. NAS (Network Access Server) Initiated

NAS Initiated is not constrain user to make the tunnel, encryption, and decryption himself. This type of VPN requires user to dial-in to NAS ISP. Then, this NAS will build the tunnel to private network’s destination. Therewith, VPN connection can be build by many client anywhere because the NAS ISP is commonly available for public.

How it works?

VPN operates at layer 2 or 3 OSI Model :

• Layer 2 Frame – Ethernet.
• Layer 3 Frame – IP.

VPN is using a tunneling technology. Tunneling is responsible to handle and provide Point-to-Point connection. Exactly, the Point-to-Point connection is form by across the public network. But, this connection does not care with data packets of other people, except only attend the maker of data transportation. Usually, this technology is develop on the network with IP addressing and IP routing setting. If the communication between source and destination is not going well, then the tunnel cannot be created, and VPN cannot be made. If the tunnel already created, the Point-to-Point connection can be directly used to pass the data. This tunnel also equip with encryption system to the passing data.

These are the tunneling technologies :

• PPTP – Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol

It allows multiprotocol traffic to be encrypted and then encapsulated in an IP header to be sent across an organization’s IP internetwork or a public IP internetwrok sucha as the internet.

• L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol

It allows multiprotocol traffic to be encrypted and then sent over any medium that supports Point-to-Point datagram delivery.

• IPSec TM – IP Security Tunnel Mode

It allows IP packets to be encrypted and then encapsulated in an IP header to be sent across an organization’s IP internetwork or a public IP internetwork such as the internet.

Another Traffic Jam

Today is my 1st mid exam, Charater Building IV. In order to avoid traffic jam, I depart from home at 8.00 o’clock. Obviously, i’m still get trapped in traffic. I doubt that I can get to my university on time. I can get out from the traffic for one hour TT

But, there is another way that usually get traffic in the further. It is because the development of busway. Amazingly, there is no traffic jam right now….Wow, I’m so happy..Finally, I get to Syahdan campus at 9.45 o’clock. Fiuh..i’m almost get late. Thanks God.

Death Youth

Recently, I have heard death youth. It’s my friend’s girlfriend. She was suffering a Lupus disease (autoimmune disorder and it effects organ systems, skin, joints, and internal organs) for one week. The, she passed away.

Another case is my young brother’s friend. He had a flu and his parents gave him a herb medicine. On the next day, he got cramp and collapse at school. And, he was get into the hospital at the emergency room. The doctor said that it was because the medicine. He got toxicant by the medicine. Evidently, there is nicotine in that medicine. On the next day, he passed away.

All of them are died with the young age. Through this incidents, I realize that we never know how long we will live, when we will die, and how do we die. Maybe, it’s not the point of life. The point is what have we done during our life. And we must appreciate every days, hours, minutes, even seconds in my life. So, I will try my best to help each other and bring happiness to other people around me.

Surprise on My 20th Birthday

It was started in my birthday’s eve, 2007, 15th September. And the story begin…

Jin Feng sent me an SMS just to ask me if i will go to campus on the next day to give her an annual report of BNMC for checking. I’ve been thinking in my mind “Hey, it’s sunday…”, So it’s means no.And, she ask me again about my plan on yesterday if i’m going out of home or not. My answer is maybe yes ^o^

And i’m asking myself about why she’s suddenly wanna check the report on sunday..is she out of her mind? Not just that, why is she really wannna know where I’m going tomorrow? it’s so strange…. Maybe there’s something that she’s hiding from me.

A few hours later, the day has changed to 16th September, it’s my birthday. And many friends sent me a birthday greeting SMS. Of Course, Jin Feng sent me it too. And in the daylight, I , my mother, my brothers, and my aunts went to citraland to have a lunch to celebrate my b’day. My mobile was ringing. It’s from Jin Feng. She called just to say happy b’day and asking where am I now and how long I’ve been there. And I said that I’m in CL now and maybe ‘til afternoon or night. Another question on my mind…she’s already say it last night, why is she say it again? Hmm.there’s must be something wrong…

A few hours later, my mobile was ringing again. It’s from Yang Quan. He called me to said happy b’day and asked me if I’m still need the annotation letter from BPPT, he still have it. He also asking me where am I now.

With this two person calling me, there is a same question “where are you now?”. This statement is making strong my presumption that there’s something they wanna doin on my b’day. But, I dunno what…

And again, my mobile was ringing. It’s from Mei Fen. But I’m late to hang up because I’m having a conversation with my brother on the other mobile. A few minutes later, it’s ringing again. It’s form Jin He. He greet me happy b’day and again, the same question..”where are you now?”. And I said I’m at CL. He asked me again, “at where? “. I said at the watch shop. And suddenly I said “Don’t you say that you wanna come here, do you”. But, he answer that he is at TA with his girlfriend. And a few minutes later, I’m still in the watch shop. I feel like I saw Jin He shadows in the mirror of the shop. But, when I turn around, I’m not saw him. Hmm..maybe it’s just my feel. And again, I saw his shadow plus a noisy sound. It sounds like Mei Fen voice. And I know that it was them..my friends out there. I pretend to not knowing their appearance. Until Mei Fen call my name and I went out from the shop. I saw Mei Fen, Jin He, and Yang Quan. Wow..it’s a surprise..yeah eventhough I’ve already guess that they wanna come to meet me. But, I really surprise that they’re really have intention to meet me here and looking for me from one to another watch shop in the citraland.

And, they take me to someplace, it’s foodcourt. And I found out another two friends there. It’s Jin Feng and Zhong Hong. I also saw a cake on the table. Wow…another surprise for me…I’m really really happy. They still wanna celebrate my birthday eventough it’s Sunday and I can’t meet them on that day. So, they come to me to celebrate it. What a big surprise! This is the biggest birthday present that I ever had. And also, it’s become my unforgettable moment in my life. Thanks God, you give me many kind friends. I really appreciate you guys…谢谢大家。我爱你们。
