UGM U202 Crew, Day One: Monday 13th July 2009

"U202 Crew" are the participants in the 2009 Intensive Preparation Programme of the International Undergraduate Programme, in the Faculty of Economics, U.G.M.

Call My Bluff
Adrian v Everybody: Round 1.

Adrian told a story about meeting a childhood friend called Andrew, by chance, at Singapore airport transit lounge, with whom he had had no contact whatsoever for seventeen years since graduating from high school. Adrian and Andrew chatted about old times for two hours before Adrian (en route from Japan to the U.K.) caught his Singapore Airlines flight to London and Andrew (en route from Australia to the U.K.) caught his British Aiirways flight to London. They exchanged phone numbers but never got in touch with each other again. Some friendships last forever. Others come and go.

The class was pretty evenly split. Fifteen thought it was a true story; fourteen thought it was a bluff. In fact, Adrian made it up completely.



Call My Bluff
Adrian v Everybody: Round 2.

Adrian told a story about how he once cooked an Indian curry for His Royal Highness Prince Edward, son of Queen Elizabeth II, brother of Prince Charles. It happened back in 1985 when Adrian and Prince Edward were in the same theatre play together and after the production finished there was a dinner party for all the cast and crew at Adrian's house. Members of the U202 Crew seemed to have zero knowledge about the British royal family!

This time the class was mostly unconvinced by Adrian's story. Twenty three thought it was a lie. Only six thought it was true. And those six were right!



Ouch! It seems the U202 Crew have not got off to the greatest of starts!

    cendra want to give a comment for yogaa..

    Yoga is a smart and polite boy in our class. May be it because he was graduated from Canisius college,one of favourite school in jkt, so he has good behavior...

    IRKA... No.9... no, the weather in Jakarta doesn't matter to me because I go from my air conditioned hotel room to my air conditioned taxi to my air conditioned workplace or shopping mall to my air conditioned taxi to my air conditioned hotel. Who cares about the weather?!
