Yesterday nite at 2 AM I finally finish the final version - 1 of the thesis. Yeah!!!!
My supervisor still needs to have a glimpse on it, and then, after correcting it again, the final version will be ready, and I can print it out.
Time is flying so quick, and in the last 4 weeks, I have been working so hard on the thesis and the experiment related to it. The title of my thesis is: Support Vector Regression Analysis for Price Prediction in a Car Leasing Application.
Last week I took 3 days to prepare an online survey, analyze it and wrote the first proposition. Propositions are the requirement from my MBA study at Northern Institute of Technology Management. I should write two propositions, so here they are in two lines:
Proposition 1: Inter University Cooperation: Exploring Potential of Business Applied Informatics in TUHH IMT Program
Proposition 2: Knowledge Management Applications Audit
Altough today was not so efficient in terms of pages to write, I managed to make one phone interview with my ex-colleague, Ryan, about knowledge management in Siemens, the second topic for my second proposition.
Then I bought boxes, for the preparation of moving out from my current appartment to an unknown place, since I don't have a future room yet. Afterwards, packing the suitcase for going back to Indonesia on March 17. One day after the thesis and propositions presentation. Hopefully everything will work according to the schedule, and I dont get sick.
I really look forward to my holiday to relax and enjoy my family again after one year away :)
But before I have to work hard, finalize the thesis and propositions until March 9, print and then submit them to the examination office, create the presentation slides for both, do the test presentation on March 12 at Uni Hamburg, before presenting the final one in Hamburg University of Technology on March 16. Phew....
Well, now I am going to bed first... zzzz....zzz...zz...z.........

Get to know yourself better
Today I took a small quiz to know myself better hihihi...
Here are the questions:
***
1 Imagine that you are walking along a path. What do you see around you? please answer
Forest, so much forest that you can hardly see the sky.
A yellow corn field against a brilliant blue sky.
Softly sloping green hills, with a view of mountains in the distance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 What do you see near your feet? please answer
A mirror
A ring
A bottle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Will you pick it up? please answer
Yes
No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 You walk along and find water. In what form is the water? please answer
A lake
A waterfall
A river
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 You see a key in the water and you pick it up. What does it look like? please answer
An ordinary house key
A beautiful antique key
A small silver locker key
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Next you stumble across a house. What type of house is it? please answer
A spacious Hollywood mansion
A hut with a garden full of flowers
A beautiful old stone castle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 What do you do next? please answer
Look into the window
Walk right on inside and explore
Walk away. You're not that interested.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 Suddenly, something jumps out at you. What is it? please answer
A bear
A wizard
A spider
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 Because you are so scared you run until you see a wall blocking the path in front of you. There is a door, but it's locked, so you look through the key hole. What do you see? please answer
A beautiful house with a vast garden.
A pond in the middle of a desert.
A beach with waves crashing onto the sand.
***
And here is the result for me:
***
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
***
I wonder how the nine questions could reveal something like that? I don't totally agree with the analysis, because e.g. "You are concerned about your image and the way others see you" - this is a general characteristic of many people who take such a quiz, isn't it? :)
