In the phrases above di should be changed by pada (pada awal abad XXI, pada malam hari, pada awal milenium III), because the use of preposition pada is followed by adverb of time .

Saya senang sekali bertemu dengan Mami Vin, pemimpin waria di Yogyakarta. Kami bertemu di KEBAYA, organisasi dia. Dia setengah tua dan rambutnya sudah mulai memutih. Dia berkacamata dan memakai baju sederhana. Dia ramah sekali dan sering tersenyum. Waktu diwawancarai, dia selalu berbicara jujur dan tulus. Ketika masih kecil, Mami Vin sudah tahu dia berbeda. Dia suka mainan perempuan dan suka bermain dengan perempuan. Ketika remaja, dia mendapat tekanan karena banyak orang mengejek dia "banci." Orang bilang kalau dia hidup sebagai banci, dia akan masuk neraka. Dia takut dia berdosa. Dia bertanya-tanya siapa dirinya. Akhirnya, waktu dia berumur dua puluh lima tahun, dia memutuskan hidup sebagai waria. Sesudah itu, dia bertanggung jawab untuk apa yang dilakukan sebagai waria. Dia mau membuktikan kepada masyarakat bahwa waria tidak seperti yang mereka pikir. Waria bisa berkarya.
