Hash :: Genito, Windusari > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

Woke up early to hash today. Hash destination is Genito, at Windusari Regency, Magelang.

We drove there before sunrise. So we can see the sunrise on the way. It's beautiful. 

I took the photo from the car. We can see Mount Sumbing near the area, and Mount Merapi & Mount Merbabu at the sunrise area. When we arrive there, the sun was almost rise.

Then we start to walk. The view was amazing. Around us was green. After work everyday, and only see computer, it feels fresh to see the green. Green is my favourite colour too.

Here's the track:

4.26 km was today's route. The track was okay, but when almost arrived to finish, the path was climb. And too tiring. But it's healthy, feels fresh after finished.

All the information about the interview will write at the email.

So she remind me to always check my email.

I'm nervous, I understand what she talking, but I'm really nervous, so I just try to ask and ask again. OMG~~~ How embarrasing...
But I hope that I give her the best appearance through the phone call.

Wish us all the best.. :)

2014 KGSP-Graduate - The Birth Certificate sworn translated was sent to me

Mitra Penerjemah send the birth certificate today. Hope tomorrow it will arrived early. But tomorrow, my travel agency was closed. Oh no.... I have to go outside of the town because something that related with my passport. Mmm...

Today I send the birth certificate using email to Ms Kim. And she accepted it too. So I just need to wait for the documents arrived to me safely, and send it to Ms Kim as soon as possible.

2014 KGSP-Graduate - Using Sworn Translator and Notary for Notarized the Documents

This morning I send the birth certificate scan copy to Mitra Penerjemah (http://mitrapenerjemah.com). And they said, it needs 1 to 2 days. But I ask them for 1 days. And they will try it.

And today I also decided to go to Notary at my hometown to get the degree and transcript notarized. The fee is 150.000 IDR for 4 page. (It's cheaper than using legalized service).
I search the notary using google, and found 2 listed notary near my locations.

I go to the first, but pitily, the notary not at the desk because she is not Magelang person.

So I go to the second, and she willingly to give the notarized.
...
...
...
And after 1 hours, the documents has been notarized.

But how to give it to the Embassy? OMG~~~~~ I decided to ask Mitra Penerjemah first.

The Mitra Penerjemah said, that I have to legalized it at the University if I want to notarized it at Embassy. It's not enough if only with notary.

So, I decided to try the worst. I send the email to Ms Kim and attached the notarized documents by notary, and ask her to receive it first before I notarized them at Embassy.

And now, I just can wait for the reply and received the worst. I thought if they still wants the documents notarized by Embassy, then I just try to go to university to legalized or give up. Because I read some KGSP Scholarship Students (http://ahmadnasikun.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/tips-and-tricks-for-kgsp-korean-government-scholarship-program-part-2/) that there's no problem to notarized the documents only by notary.

...
...
...
...
...

At the evening, Ms Kim answer my email. She said that she received the documents, and will subtitute it temprorary until I send the original documents. Wait.. What? What's that mean? If I'm not wrong, it means, that the notarized document by notary was accepted. OMG~~~.. So I don't have to bring it to the embassy. Yipeee... I'm so happy.

She said, she will wait for the original even it's already over the deadlines, but the most important is before the interview.

And I can't wait to send it to them soon. Just wait for the birth certificate now.

2014 KGSP-Graduate - Sookmyung Women's University notice me about the documents

Today, the Sookmyung Women's University representative, send me the email that they have already received the documents. But they need some supplement documents to be posted soon.

1. Notarized Degree and Transcript by Korean Embassy
2. My Birth Certificate on English

Oh No... I'm panic. No.. I can't panic. So I try to think and search, how to get the notarized documents by Korean Embassy and how to translate the birth certificate into English from Indonesia, and it's official.

I found sworn translator company. And I just realized, I can used them because they are sworn translator. Which means, they are official from the goverment. They have to passed some exams from the Government official university, and get the official number as sworn translator.

But which one is can be trusted? So many of them on google search.

So I try to browse some forums, and I found Mitra Penerjemah.

MITRA PENERJEMAH ("Penerjemah" at English is Translator)
The website is: http://mitrapenerjemah.com/
At their website, you can see the tracking list that show their send the documents to customer. From here, I try to contact their Yahoo Messenger (you can found it at the website) and ask for the price. Altough the price was available at the website, but some of them, is confusing because I never try anything about this.
They can help us to notarized the documents to Embassy too. So I try to ask anything about it.

They answer my email. Their service is good, the contact person was nice, and willingly to give us some information.

I decided to use them to sworn translate my birth certificate. But the document was not here now, so I tell them that I will send it to them tomorrow morning using email.

And about my transcript and degree, the documents was already on English, so they said, I didn't need to sworn translate it into english again. And for notarized, just legalized them at University first, then send it to them. They will help us to legalized it to notary, then to Korean Embassy.

I'm confuse. Because, it seems complicated. What should I do?? Mmm... I couldn't come to University to legalized them because of the distance problem. Mmm...

What should I do? What should I do?

2014 KGSP-Graduate - The documents has been arrived at Sookmyung Women's University

Now I just wait for the university to notice me via email. A lot of people said that they will notice us if they received the documents.

Renew My Passport (2) - Photo and Interview for my New Passport

Today, I went to Yogya to take photo and interview for my new passport. Yesterday, my brother has already made the payment at Bank BNI. And they give us the report. One was for the immigration office, and the copy was for us.

After arrive at Immigration office, we took the queue number for Photo and Interview. We got D95, and when we arrived, it's just D24. Haha... Waiting for 70 people. T_T

But it took only approximately 1 hour. And after give the report of payment and appointment report to photo and interview to the locket, then we wait to be called.

First call is for Photo.
- No Glasses
- The ear must be shown on the photo.
- No bangs

After took the photo, then we scan our finger and wait again for the interview.

Second call is for interview.
Usually, the interviewer ask us about our identify (birthdate, our mother's name, where do we live, what's the purpose of making passport, etc). But, this time, no questions. They only ask me to check the name and birthdate. Then sign if it's true.

Then they give us another report to take passport on March 19th, 2014, 3 workdays from the date we took photo and interview. Actually, at their website, it said, that 4 workdays after the date we took photo and interview, we can take the passport.

So, wait for another 1 week, then our passport will be available and can be used. :)

Woke up at 3 o'clock, and go to Borobudur Temple at 4 o'clock. Me, my brother, and my brother's girlfriend also my brother's friends went to Setumbu to watch sunrise. Punthuk Setumbu located near Borobudur Temple. You can see the sunrise with background Borobudur Temple, Mount Merapi, and Mount Merbabu.

Don't forget to bring tripod to take photos.

The ticket entrance is IDR 15.000 for local. And we have to walk uphill for a while. Use comfortable shoes and bring flashlight because it's still dark. Wear jacket too because it's cold.

Once arrived at Punthuk Setumbu, there's so many people in there. Most of them are tourists.

Unfortunately, it's cloudy. So the sunrise didn't shown enough.

And the morning fog started to cover whole area, so we have to go back.
