105 by a man. The main difference between Serimpi dance and Bramastra dance is the latter did not tell a story, yet it is an interpretation of the warmth of a fire arrow. We had a great discussion there with the professor of ISI. EIDETIC DIAGRAM. We spent the rest of the week brainstorming and preparing for the first final review, which would take place on the next Tuesday. We started to find some difficulties in communication, yet it is not a big deal. We tried to make it better every day. While having discussion, Bethany and Leon showed us their eidetic diagram method, which they usually use in designing everything. I did not understand about the line or smoke they’d drawn on the diagram, but it looked totally nice! Then they told us about what it means. From seeing their and the other UF students diagram, I found that eidetic diagram is a designing method that combines and layers the aspects analyzed. The first and second time I tried to make the diagrams, Carmen commented that it is fragmented. Therefore I tried harder. Actually it was pretty hard to translate our analysis into an abstract diagram, which could evolve subsequently to a design. One of my UF friend said that it’s OK that we’re not used to their way to make an eidetic diagram yet, because they had learnt it for more than 2 years. FOOD The thing I loved most when I went to hangouts with my UF friends is acquainting the traditional food. The Indonesian students and I made Bethany and Leon to try so many kind of Indonesian food, such as lotek, Javanese fried rice, goat satay, gudeg, ayam penyet, soto, etc. The surprising moment was when Leon put soy sauce on every food he had. He put extra soy sauce on his fried rice and even on his cheese bread! He said it tasted like chocolate! One morning I caught him having a plate of rice only with soy sauce. I asked him did it work, and he said not at all. Absolutely. My group’s principle on working this project is “everything goes from stomach into mind then into heart”. Therefore we couldn’t have the task done when we’re hungry. Thus every morning, Yosi, or Eno, or I always brought food, whatever it was, while the other groups were starving. FINAL REVIEW Two days before first final review, Mr. Wang caught me not paying attention to his lecture. He asked me a thing and I didn’t pay attention to what his question DAILY JOURNAL
