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?

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. :)

So everything is ready. I make the original put a transparant plastic and put inside 1 envelope. And the other 3 copy, each set put them at transparant plastic, and put all 3 set at 1 envelope. And I marked the envelope as Original & 3 set of copy.
Then put them together inside another envelope.

I used airmail envelope to put all of them together, and use chocolate envelope with smaller size then the airmail so that they can fit inside the airmail envelope.
Just try to make everything nice, so when they open it, they will have 1st good reaction.
Write the address using computer and print it.
I use EMS to send the documents. It cost less than 200.000 IDR for approximately 400 to 500gram weight from my hometown. And it tooks 5 to 7 days.

After eating lunch at Indische Koffie, we went to De Mata Trick Eye Museum at XT Square. XT Square located at Jl Veteran RT 016/05.
You can see 3D painting in here and take picture, looks like you are inside the picture. But becareful with you angle and lighting.
The staff will guide you with every picture, but I think it's better if you take the picture using your own skill. Because not every picture which the staff take is good.
This is one of the picture. Most the picture that we take there's us inside, so I'm afraid, my friends will scold me if I put the picture in here. Let me ask for permissions first.. :)
