I meant this one, as from Wikipedia: Oh, I see... But that's not what Indonesians know it for. We know it for the lake, for being Catholic, etc. More general stuff.

That is cool... And a good additional point on which Indonesians can cherish their land.

Reminds me of the Singapore Version of the CD "Unplugged" by the Corrs ... The record company actually managed to deliver *extremely* different regional releases of ALL records of the band ... And the Singapore version has an additional CD. Same goes for the Singapore release of "Talk On Corners". More here : www.corrswiki.org/Unplugged_(Album)www.corrswiki.org/Talk_on_Corners_(Album)Taiwan got 2 special editions for their album "In Blue", meanwhile usually Japan got the most special releases. For someone trying to collect albums of artists, record companies can sometimes be a real pain. If I knew a way to repay, I'd ask someone to buy these CDs for me and send them to me, but alas I don't know how repay these things, and I'm very cautious about that either. I only use bank transfers, nothing else, and the fees for international bank transfers can be quite high.

I started with studying for my "second try exams". Don't know what the exact term is, it means that you get a second try to complete the exams you failed in june, so you can still pass the year. And apparently my dad lost all his confidence in me. I screwed up two exams indeed, while saying troughout the year that it would be fine.
But now he has found some papers from the stories that I'm writing on my desk, in between my college books. And he just told that if I would fail these two "second exams" that I wasn't allowed to rent a student room anymore for next year.
I don't know what upsets me the most. The fact that I won't survive being at home for a whole year. Or the fact that people have been looking through MY writings, which are quite the most personal things in the world to me.
Well, I guess that's a freaking motivation to study then. If I fail these exams I have to survive a whole year going to college, while living at home. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a terrible family or so. But I just can't stand being at home for longer periods anymore. I want to be on my own.

I'm sorry to hear that you dad has been snooping your writings, and I hope that your resits go well.
Do you have any friends that you could flat/room share with for next year if push came to shove? (when I was a University I had an evening job 2 days a week)

Awww, not a pleasant time, Hildor, sorry to read about that. =/ I imagine that the sneaking in your papers feels a bit like a betrayal. I hope you'll be able to succeed at your resits; good luck with that... It's not time to waste energy begrudging the possible return home yet. Do you know why you failed those exams?

Yeah, Hildor, hope it goes well for you. Sorry, I'm kinda out of it. Got a bloody headache here and the painkillers aren't helping much at all.

Sorry to hear about your head, have you considered that it might be a migrain? Can I recommend eat, drink, sleep in a dark place... And maybe a cool damp cloth for your forehead.

Good luck Hildor, we believe in you!! @ SC Headaches can be a pain in the b*tt, tell me about it Not much you can do, but drink a lot of water, sometimes it just comes from a bit of dehydration
And for the record, someone needs to keep an eye on the minibar, cuz i'm leaving for Amsterdam in a few minutes, i'll be back on Tuesday. Pics from Castlefest will be shown soon, so brace yourself to see some real fairies ;D

@ Hildor: Aw, that's tough. I really wish you the best for your exams, and your chances of living on your own. @ SC: I recommend lots of water, and not looking at a computer screen for extended periods of time. @ Gal: Great, now's us never-sated dragons have the chance to drink the minibar dry! @ Ube: Good luck man, see you soon! @ Everyone: Today's gonna be a busy day for me (cleaning the house up, and having some meetings), see you all later, perhaps tonight or tomorrow!
