Bisa Tidak


Launched a new blog, kumpulan teka-teki, bukan teka-teki jayus alias tebak-tebakan, but more to challenge your logic. I found my old book of puzzle and it has hundreds of puzzle, I bought it when I was in 4th grade, plus ada game NDS terbaru yang isinya full of puzzles like the one in the book, cuma di re-phrase aja penyampaiannya. So I thought why not I re-phrase em my self?
So i decided to create that blog, dan yang paling menyedihkan adalah mencari nama blognya.
tried tekateki, otakkanan, putar otak, utak atik, dll yang ada hubungannya sama puzzle....smuanya sudah terambil orang lain...and guess what...smuanya abandoned, cuma ada satu posting yang ga jelas...sigh, blogger should delete abandoned post. Jadi akhirnya namanya bisatidak.blogspot.com
butuh waktu buat upload semua puzzle, tapi gw coba sehari satu aja deh, males yang bergambar harus gambar ulang, ga bisa scan, ntar kena copyright isu.

Back to Back : Jajanan & Jalanan

Ternyata eh ternyata, blog Jajan di Bandung yang sempat terbengkalai lama, teringat kembali dan terbengkalai untuk kesekian kalinya sudah berhasil menjadi NOMOR 1 DI GOOGLE
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Temen gw, Deni, yang pertama kali tau bbrp hari lalu, dia YM gw. Akhir taun 2007 yg gw inget udah ada di urutan no. 3 sih di google. Heran, gw telantarin malah jadi gede, lah yang ini?!?!? isinya cuma Bee ma Pi doang.....sarapppp!!!!

The longest journey

No...it's not a novel, it's my longest journey from jkt to bdg. I left home at 9:30PM and here I am at 2:45AM, smokin a cigar at rest area 57, which is halfway from my destination.
Wats with all the people anyway?!? Dun they just stay in Jakarta?! What are they lookin for in Bandung?!
Even in Lebaran it never took me this long.
I wonder where Pi now?! She was 2km behind me on 00:30AM....hey Pi...where were u on 02:45AM?

Misleading Ad : yeah...again

I dunno why but stupid misleading Ads keeps coming lately, this time is from telkomsel. In their Ad, they claim that every telkomsel user can now download Yahoo!Go for free. EXCLUSIVELY FOR TELKOMSEL....they say. All u need to do is type YAHOO and send it to 6789.
Off course, I'm very excited bout this cause yahoo!go has never works with Indonesian provider. So I did what they said, send an sms. After a while a I got a reply to follow a link....guess wat...it's broken.
So I waited a day...and it's still broken. And on 2nd day I can't wait anymore, I switched to IndosatM2 and access the link....kazaaaaaam....it works, I've downloaded the file and install it to my v3xx. But that's not all, the self proclaimed exclusive only for telkomsel turned out working smoothly with indosatM2...what the?!?!
I got curious...I switched to proXL and same thing happened..it works like a charm...so TELKOMSEL has made us think that only telkomsel user can access Yahoo!Go....what a lame thing to do for a company that big....sigh
Anyway....if any of u need Yahoo!go, just point your internal phone browser to http://id.m.yahoo.com and choose upgrade to yahoo!go.
You notice that "id"? It stands for Indonesia...not telkomsel.
And one more thing, not all phones r supported.
Enjoy Yahoo!Go, it's a great app

Since I have a baby boy now...I think I'll stick with that...darn it...I become emotional....arrrrrrghhhh....I need a chunk of chocolate to calm my self.

Indonesia Anti Situs Porno?

dari detik dot com :
Senin, 17/03/2008 17:31 WIB
Telkom Siap Dukung Pemerintah Blokir Situs Negatif
Ardhi Suryadhi - detikinet


Jakarta - Pemerintah berencana untuk bekerja sama dengan perusahaan penyelenggara jasa internet (Internet Service Provider atau ISP) untuk memblok trafik terhadap situs-situs negatif.

Telkom sebagai salah satu penyedia jasa layanan internet menyambut baik usulan ini. "Apa yang diinginkan pemerintah tentu saja ini harus didukung supaya informasi yang diperoleh informasi yang bermanfaat dan menambah ilmu pengetahuan," ujar Vice President Public & Marketing Communication Telkom, Eddy Kurnia kepada detikINET, Senin (17/3/2008).

Eddy mengaku, untuk kedua layanan produk internet Telkom -- Telkomnet Instant dan Speedy -- sudah ada semacam 'warning' ketika pengguna mengakses situs negatif. "Secara teknologi memang bisa dilakukan filter, tapi ini lebih ke mentality dan proses," imbuhnya.

Meski demikian, sampai saat ini Telkom belum menjalankan pemblokiran tersebut. "Ada hambatannya, itu sesuatu yang massal dan akses yang begitu banyak dengan pelanggan jutaan untuk internet ini," kilahnya.

Sebelumnya, pemerintah mengatakan siap memblokir akses internet ke situs-situs yang dianggap berdampak negatif bagi psikologis masyarakat dalam waktu dekat ini.

Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika Mohammad Nuh bahkan mengaku telah menyiapkan seperangkat aturan untuk menangkal akses ke situs tersebut. ( ash / ash )

Bisakah?!? atau cuma kiss ass telkom kesannya mendukung pemerintah...cause there's no way to block those sites, 80% pengakses internet mengakses situs2 porno, bisa dianggap 80% populasi situs di internet adalah situs dengan content porno...can u do the math? Bahkan blogspot dan friendster sudah jadi ajang pornografi...I'd really luv to see this how they make it happened rather than the goal it self.

Great Ad for Shitty product

Akhir-akhir ini ada iklan produk cuci piring khusus bayi yang gw pikir genius, karena product-nya sendiri bener-bener ga sebagus iklannya, nyaris ga ada value tambahan malah.
Iklan yg gw maksud adalah iklan yg dimulai dengan seorang ibu mencuci botol bayi dengan produk pencuci terkenal (terlihat dari bentuk kemasan) dan datang temannya mengatakan, "Jangan, itu tidak higienis untuk bayi".
Iklan ini memanfaatkan naluri orang tua untuk melindungi anak2nya, sehingga sering tidak berpikir panjang.
Berikut kenapa gw bilang itu iklan bagus for shitty product :

- Higienes : yang dia maksud higienis adalah product tersebut memiliki anti bakteri. I think it's a complete bullshit...why?!?! Karena setelah mencuci kita harus membilas habis sisa sabun dengan air, dan lo pikir air bebas kuman?!?! Jadi setelah dibilas pasti kuman dan bakteri akan menempel kembali di botol bayi. Itulah sebabnya kita harus menggodok atau mensterilkan dengan alat sterilisasi uap untuk membunuh kuman yg menempel dan dari air bilasan. So?!?! Pake sabun cuci biasa jg bisa kan?!

- Food Grade. What the hell?!?! Emang lo mau makan sabunnya?!?! Semua orang tua yang tidak membilas dengan sempurna botol minum bayinya adalah org bodoh....jadi product ini untuk orang bodoh?!?!

Kalau sekilas iklan tersebut memang bagus, higienes dan food grade, tapi ternyata itu tidak lebih baik dari product yang ada sekarang. Gw jg punya bayi, karena itu gw ga mau buang uang berkali-kali lipat buat product yg ga berguna, mending uangnya buat beli susu ato baju bayi gw.
Tapi apakah product ini bener2 useles?!? NO.....masih ada gunanya, mungkin bagian R&D perusahaan ini juga tahu segmentasi product ini, yaitu buat travel, dimana org susah cari air panas ato ga ada tempat menggodok air panas dan terlalu repot buat bawa-bawa sterilizer.
Kesimpulannya gw acungin dua jempol buat marketer product ini....so sorry I see through it...keep up the good work

Tamansari Jogjakarta

 
Kunjungan terakhir ke Jogja akhir Feb kemaren gw nyempetin maen ke Tamansari, salah satu situs yg baru gw tau, ga sengaja liat di internet sblm boarding pesawat di Cengkareng. Situs ini dibangun oleh Hamengkubuwono I tahun 1757. Fungsinya untuk beberapa hal sih, dari tempat istirahat, menjamu tamu, pertahanan, sampai buat menjebak musuh (intinya sih pas musuh masuk smua bakal ditenggelemin...katanya). Sayang situs ini sudah rusak berat, bangunan utamanya masih ada tapi diantara reruntuhan sudah banyak dihuni oleh penduduk. Dikolam ini sih cerita yang paling menarik (menurut gw loh), karena disana biasa diisi oleh wanita2 yang cantik (katanya sih cantik2) dan telanjang!!!.....OMG!!!! can't u believe that...an medieval orgy party?!?!? hihihih...mereka adalah para selir sultan, nanti sultan akan menonton dari menara paling atas dan bila dia menemukan selir mana yang beruntung, dia akan melempar bunga dari atas....lah kalo lemparannya ga pas gimana?!?!? makanya isinya cantik2 smua, jadi kalo mbleset ke sebelahnya ya ndak masalah...kebayang kalo isinya 50 wanita wuuueeelek sama satuuuuuuu wanita cuantik....bakal stress pasti sang sultan pas ngelempar. Nah begitu sudah dilempar bunganya, sang selir yang palah ditimpuk harus masuk ke gedung dan dibalik gedung ada kolam yang lebih kecil buat....dah ah...pikir ndiri aja buat apanya, yang jelas pas gw kesana didalem kolam kecil cuma ada kadal mati ngambang.
 
Tamansari seperti gw bilang diatas punya fungsi buat pertahanan, nah ternyata dibawah tamansari ini banyak lorong2 bawah tanah, ada mesjidnya juga. Lorong2 ini katanya menuju beberapa tempat, diantaranya kraton, candi prambanan, pantai selatan, sama HK Disney Land (amiieeeen...pengen ksana lagi...hiks...ada yg mo bayarin?!). Ada 3 peta lorong bawah tanah, peta 1 untuk umum, peta 2 dan 3 rahasia, cuma orang kraton yang punya salinannya. Ini karena menjaga kemungkinan bila kita dijajah kembali, jadi bisa ngabur...hmmm, pake satelite jaman sekarang jadi percuma kali, mo nungging didalem terowongan juga keliatan.
 
Tapi ngebayangin bagaimana kehidupan disini dulu bener2 memancing imajinasi (selaen yg kolam tadi loh...ini imajinasi serius). Kompleks tamansari yang konon punya sungai jembatan (entah gimana), konon ada kanal-kanal yang saling menghubungkan antara gedung2 dan merupakan sarana transportasi. Bisa kebayang sih megahnya seperti apa dulu, sekarang cuma reruntuhan. Dulu katanya kompleks ini bisa ditenggelamkan dan menjebak penjajah yang mencoba masuk kedalamnya....lah orang2 yang didalem terowongan piye?!?!? matek kabeh?!?
 
Situs ini overall worth visiting lah, apalagi buat para banci kamera yang hobinya difoto dan merasa dirinya fotogenik over PD serta sangat-sangat narcis mencoba menutupi kekurangan mukanya dengan background yang indah. Tapi gw bukan termasuk orang kek gitu...buktinya ga ada satupun foto gw kan?!?!? (Kampret...gw dateng sendirian sih). Tamansari cuma 10 menit dari kratonan kok, numpak becak yo iso...tinggal kpeleset nyampe...bayar limang ewu beres. Deket pasar ngasem (pasar burung). Luv to visit this site again....once I have a qualified person to take good pictures with camera...hehehe...well, senen-selasa depan gw ke jogja lagi sih, but on full sched, keknya ga mungkin ke Tamansari...nggudek aja sama ngambing depan hotel...nyamm

Nasi Goreng - Wieteke Van Dort

No, I'm not reffering to food, it's a song, a very old song in the 30s sang by Wieteke Van Dort and somehow this song has risen into the digital world in the internet. I got this frm my bro and he played it for my 1 month old baby, and he likes it. Well, here is the lyrics and at the bottom you can find the link for streaming the song, enjoy....

WIETEKE VAN DORT GEEF MIJ MAAR NASI GORENG LYRICS

Toen wij repatrieerden uit de gordel van smaragdDat Nederland zo koud was hadden wij toch nooit gedachtMaar 't ergste was 't eten.Nog erger dan op reisAardapp'len, vlees en groenten en suiker op de rijst

refrain:
Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken eiWat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbijGeef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken eiWat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij
Geen lontong, sate babi, en niets smaakt hier pedisGeen trassi, sroendeng, bandeng en geen tahoe petisKwee lapis, onde-onde, geen ketella of ba-paoGeen ketan, geen goela-djawa, daarom ja, ik zeg nou

refrain

Ik ben nou wel gewend, ja aan die boerenkool met worstAan hutspot, pake klapperstuk, aan mellek voor de dorstAan stamppot met andijwie, aan spruitjes, erwtensoepMaar 't lekkerst toch is rijst, ja en daarom steeds ik roep

refrain

And here's the link :

Keandra



22 januari 2008
RS Tedja Bandung
19.55 WIB

Setelah berjuang selama tujuh jam, akhirnya bayi mungil ini lahir juga. Gw yang baru pertama kali melihat bayi lahir bener-bener bengong. It was the most magical moment in my whole life, well next to my own personal experience when I was born into this world, which I can't remember. Berlaku sebagai suami, pembantu suster dan juga seksi dokumentasi, refleks gw langsung firing up my camera yang sdh tergantung di bahu gw selama tujuh jam.
Tepat sebelum tangisan pertama terdengar, kamera sudah berjalan, moment itu berhasil diabadikan, alhamdulillah.
Keandra lahir dengan berat 3.25kg dan panjang 47cm, dokter anak terpaksa memberi antibiotik karena air ketuban sudah hijau pekat, untuk berjaga jaga menghindari infeksi.

Keandra Kaetsar Kemaltaba (Kean, dibaca Ke-yan), semoga engkau tumbuh menjadi anak yang shaleh, bijaksana dan pintar. Amien.....

Creepy Creepin Little Dude


I was reading my Dan Brown on my bed when this little dude was creeping on me, funny thing is, it was moving toward me without any fear...all the little dude is supposed to fear human. It was a baby lizard, a very small, and either stupid or has developed a sense of curiosity toward human. Instinctively I grabbed my camera and start taking shots...and you know what?...it lay still throughout the photo session, not even a small nudge when my lens was only 1 cm away from it's head, even with flash on it wont budge. And some Harry Potter's fantasy crossed my mind...what if this little dude was really a man, zapped by an evil witch and turned into this small stupid baby lizard?!?!?
There's only one way to find out, I need to see if it can understand me...
"Sorry bro, I don't do hocus pocus, better find someone else to help", and I swear that I saw it jaws dropped and it eyes blinked twice before it turn it's back on me and ran off...poor guy...he must have pissed off his witch girlfriend.

Mornin Jakarta



9 Januari 2008
05.56
Room 529 : Hotel Santika Jakarta

Pusing...seperti ada orang yang mengarahkan lampu sorot tepat ke mata gw. Masih bingung, setengah bermimpi gw membuka mata ketika gw sadar gordin kamar sedikit terbuka dan melewatkan sinar matahari, dan sialnya....tepat ke muka gw.
Kampret...I still need a breather!!! dari sebelah kanan terdengar suara alarm dari Blackberry, not much of an alarm I guess. Masih linglung gw cari blackberry gw yang ternyata entah bagaimana bisa berada di bawah tempat tidur...05.65...damn...the meeting start at eight thirty. I turned off the alarm....but wait...gw masih mendengar suara lain, dari sebelah kiri gw...a very annoying sound, which probably the sound responsibles for the nightmare I had earlier.
Dari balik selimutnya, Bee mendengkur seperti kumpulan tawon yang siap tempur...hmmm...another reason why he was called "bee", to think that he's always the one who whine about me snoring...his snore is quite a parade.
Perhatian gw kembali ke gordin yang terbuka sedikit, dari celah itu terlihat jelas BRI tower berpendar seperti tonggak raksasa terbuat dari emas murni...hmmm...never seen something quite like this before. Penasaran, gw buka sedikit lagi gordin jendela, kali ini menyingkapkan lebih banyak lagi tonggak-tonggak emas di kejauhan. Jakarta di pagi hari...indah, karena seluruh keburukannya masih tertidur dan tertutup bayangan hitam. I like it this way...Jakarta seems peaceful and eager. Tanpa sadar gw terpaku di depan jendela hampir selama 20 menit, mengikuti tiap derajat bergesernya matahari dari balik gedung-gedung. Sampai akhirnya matahari sudah terlalu tinggi dan mulai terlihat jalanan yang penuh sesak dan kotor.
Jakarta berpendar selama kurang lebih 20 menit...tapi sekarang saatnya untuk bersiap menjalankan tugas lagi. I grabbed the newspaper and start browsing the headlines...masih jam setengah tujuh, nanti saja mandinya jam tujuh, selama itu masih sempat untuk membalas dengkuran bee dengan beberapa ledakan sulfur.
"KAMPRETTTT!!!"
akhirnya dia bangun juga

Perahu Warna



Sabtu, 5 Januari 2008
14.29
Kebun Binatang Bandung

Langit sudah mulai menampakkan kemurungannya setelah dari pagi membiarkan sinar matahari lewat begitu saja membakar kulit. Gw berteduh disalah satu dok perahu yang memiliki atap sederhana, layaknya atap rumah tanpa dinding beralaskan air danau berwarna hijau dan hanya tiang-tiang menjulang menahan berat atap asbes berwarna abu-abu. Dari sana gw bisa melihat dengan jelas kakak gw bersama satu-satunya anak perempuannya yang berusia 8 tahun, mengantri di antara orang-orang untuk membeli tiket perahu bebek. Ekspresi wajah mereka semua sama, berkerut sambil sesekali memandang ke langit, khawatir hujan akan turun sebelum mereka sempat dapat kesempatan menaiki perahu...or worse...pada saat mereka berada di tengah-tengah danau.
Danau ini tidak begitu besar, mungkin sebesar tiga perempat lapangan bola dengan pulau ditengah yang memiliki satu pohon besar menjulang tinggi dengan ranting-ranting yang hampir tanpa daun, hanya ada beberapa kera bergelantungan kesana kemari, mungkin mereka senang menyambut hujan yang akan datang.
Ada tiga macam perahu yang disewakan disini, perahu bebek dimana orang-orang berdesakan mengantri, perahu besar berwarna kulit kayu dan perahu-perahu ramping berwarna merah kuning biru yang cerah. Anehnya, hanya perahu-perahu berwarna saja yang sama sekali tidak ada antrian dan hanya terlihat satu saja yang membawa penumpangnya di tengah danau, perahu-perahu ini semuanya kecuali satu, tertambat dibawah atap yang sama dimana gw juga berlindung dari hujan yang mungkin datang. Terlihat sekitar empat orang pendayung perahu-perahu ini duduk disalah satu ujung perahu berwarna, mereka tidak saling bicara, hanya diam memandang antrian di dua tempat perahu lainnya. Kenapa? mungkin itu yang ada di benak mereka. jika dibandingkan dengan perahu bebek, mereka mungkin dapat mengerti, bebek lebih menarik perhatian anak-anak, tapi perahu besar jelek tanpa cat?!?!? dibanding dengan perahu-perahu mereka yang full make-up?!
Terus terang gw juga bingung, tapi perkiraan gw mungkin karena orang tua sekarang lebih mengutamakan keamanan diatas segalanya. Memang perahu berwarna ini paling ramping, sekilas terlihat bila ada salah gerakan dari penumpang, perahu ini bisa membalikkan muatannya ke dalam danau yang kotor, sementara perahu jelek besar itu terlihat lebih kokoh dan tidak mudah digoyahkan.
Bagaimanapun....perahu-perahu berwarna ini lebih menarik perhatian gw, apalagi dengan nasibnya sekarang.

Just Before New Year's Eve

19.48 Hours
Hypermart Soekarno Hatta BDG

Suasana didalam hypermart sudah mulai lenggang, sebagian besar sudah mengantri di kasir. Terlihat raut raut wajah yang penuh semangat di antrian kasir, entah karena ga sabar menyambut pergantian tahun, atau ga sabar menyantap belanjaan yang menumpuk di kereta mereka.

"Mohon perhatian, kepada para pengunjung hypermart yang terhormat, diberitahukan bahwa waktu anda untuk berbelanja tinggal 30 menit lagi, terima kasih dan selamat malam", terdengar suara merdu namun agak-agak sedikit ngusir...hmmm...itu cukup sebagai tanda bahwa gw harus cepat2 menyelesaikan belanjaan gw.

....arang bakar 2 bungkus...tusuk sate satu bundle...roti tawar...mentega...keju 2 pak...hmmmm....mata gw langsung menyapu ke seluruh pojok ruangan mencari apapun yang masih layak masuk perut...dan...saat itu gw tertarik dengan kedai ikan di pojok belakang ruangan. duh kampret...dah pada abis smua, yang tersisa cuma ikan-ikan ga jelas yg gw sendiri ga pernah liat. Tapi ada satu kumpulan ikan hitam di tengah, "Bawal Hitam" itu yang tertulis diatasnya. Lumayanlah pikir gw, buat dibakar nanti malam. Waktu sedang milih-milih...hmmm...pura-pura milih sih, lah wong gw ga tau apa2 tentang belanja ikan, ada ibu-ibu bertanya ke petugasnya, "Tongkol sudah habis ya mas?"
"Sudah daritadi bu, tinggal yang disini aja, bawal hitam ga mau bu?"
"Yah..ya udah deh bawal aja, kepinginnya tongkol sih", dan akhirnya ibu itu memilih beberapa ikan bawal, termasuk yang tadi sudah gw pisahin buat gw ambil. Agak-agak kesel juga sama ibu2 gendut ini, tapi jadi kepikiran...tongkol?!? jadi inget nyokap sering bikin ikan tongkol bakar, dimakan cuma dengan sambal kecap pakai irisan tomat...wuahhh...langsung meler gw, tapi sayang, kan tadi sudah dibilang habis smua...but wait....itu diantara ikan bawal kok ada satu ikan hitam gede banget?!?! gw bukan ahli ikan dan ga pernah lihat ikan tongkol mentah, palagi idup, tapi perut gw mengatakan,"Prasaan pernah kenal nih ikan", tapi ba bi bu lsg gw tarik buntutnya dan gw acungin ke pelayan disitu, "Mas, bawal yg ini gede banget, brapa kilo ya kira2?"
"Itu bukan bawal mas...itu tongkol"
JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Akhirnya dapet juga tongkol, lsg kebayang bakal bakar tongkol sebesar ini buat makan nanti malam, pasti enak banget.
"Loh mas!!! tadi bilangnya sudah habis smua tongkol nya? gimana sih?!?!", protes ibu tadi
"maaf bu, tapi ini tercampur sama bawal, sy tidak lihat"
"ya udah, bawalnya ga jadi, tongkol ini aja", sambil noel noel tongkol yg gw pegang dengan telunjuknya yang super gendut
"Maaf bu, tapi ini kan sy beli"
"Loh...mas kan tadi cari bawal, ya beli aja bawal, ini buat saya"
"Saya ga tau bawal apa bukan tapi saya pengen ikan yang gede bu, dan ini yang paling gede"
"bawal juga enak kok, bawal aja mas"
"kecil-kecil bu"
"Ya mas kan denger sendiri tadi saya cari tongkol, gara2 si pelayan ini nih bilang udah abis"
"waduh ga bisa bu, kan saya duluan yang nemu"
merasa ga bisa menang, si ibu itu mencari bantuan, kali ini ke pelayan tadi
"Mas...gimana dong, sy mau tongkolnya, kan sy duluan yg mau"
"ya tapi mas ini memang sdh lama disini milih ikan dan yg ambil duluan mas ini bu"
"gimana sih?!?!? ga becus smuanya, saya ga jai beli deh", sambil marah dia pergi...loh?!?!? ga jadi beli tapi bawal yg tadi kok dibawa juga ya?!?!? kemprul dasar

Akhirnya tongkol itu jatuh ke tangan gw...sebelum ke perut gw...hehehe...memang segala sesuatu itu perlu perjuangan, termasuk mmempertahankan ikan tongkol seberat 1.8KG dari tangan ibu-ibu gendut...hehehe

MET TAUN BARU SMUAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Halusinasi


Serius neh, uda hampir sebulanan gw keknya berhalusinasi. Jangan mikirin yang serem serem dulu ye, halusinasinya bukan model2 misteri kek wewe gembel ato kuntilanak bencong...worse...it's work related...AAAAAARRRGH. U noe that they gave me Blackberry (BB) for almost 2.5 years? Dan itu bener bener addictive. Gw bukan satu2nya org, coba googling blackberry addict pasti nemu banyak artikel. 24 jam sehari org bisa deket terus ma BB nya. 24 hours e-mail, internet, instant messanging, they're all addictive (my boss is currently taking her personal leave in Hongkong and she still answering e-mails). Btw, banyak kasus BB addict, tapi sampe halusinasi?!? Bayangin, kuping gw sekarang suka "merasa" mendengar bunyi ring tone BB gw yg gw set standard ringer low volume, padahal BB gw ga bunyi (even now I'm hearing it even thou I'm currently starring at my BB writing this). Dan ga cuma sampe disitu, BB suka gw clip dipinggang, dan kalo diclip, dia otomatis masuk vibrate mode, and now.....pinggang gw suka "serasa" bergeter (okay don't laugh....I'm warning you...stop it...and the grin too). Gw kek serasa gila neh....my work has occupied my mind...ato malah alam bawah sadar gw?!?!

Fuji S6500 fd REVIEW



As I promised 10 minutes ago, here's my review on this camera.
Beli camera ini di BEC, harga mayan murah, 2.9 juta (No XD-card and batteries) street price masi bekisar 3.8-4.5 jt jadi pilih2 toko aja karena harga sebenarnya uda turun ke 3jt, got it on last Saturday. 1st impressions was, "this thing really looks like a pro" hehehe...yang pasti dah kek kamera beneran, beratnya pun setelah pasang batre pas bgt, ga terlalu ringan dan ga terlalu berat.

What I Like :
- Barrel Twist zoom and focus : lebih cepet daripada pake pencet2 tombol
- Manual features : compared it with D40 (not X) dan tweak menunya ga jauh
- Face Detection : This is the best...bisa detect sembilan wajah sekaligus buat bantu focusing
- ISO performance : Ini sebenarnya alasan utama pilih s6500fd, superb performance up to ISO 800 (3200 max), 100-400 bener bener ga ada noise, 800 ada noise dikit bgt, masih bisa di handle photoshop, diatas 1600-3200 baru kerasa bgt.
- Preset mode : gw hampir jadi pemalas pake kamera ini, hampir semua kebutuhan uda ada preset modenya, dan hasilnya uda maksimal, gw jarang bgt pake manualnya kecuali pengen fine tune...bener2 bikin males belajar...hehehe

What I dun like :
- Zoom nya kurang jauh...heheh...walopun 10.7x tu dah cukup gede (28-300mm lens)
- Ga ada hot shoe buat external flash, yang S9000fd ada, tapi sayang ga ada di indo
- White balancenya terbatas banget, coolpix 4300 gw aja jauh lebih banyak

Kesimpulan :
Good camera with lots of manual features, cocok buat amatir yang baru belajar fotografi karena feature sama dengan DSLR, tapi tetep ga bisa ngegantiin DSLR begitu sudah bermain lensa (S6500fd itu fixed lens ga bisa di ganti...but look at the bright side, ga perlu repot2 ngerbersihin dari debu :p ). Hasil foto bila dibanding seri powershot (S3 IS dan S5 IS) masih jauh lebih bagus, karena powershot memakai plat sensor dengan ukuran kecil (layaknya kamera compact) hanya 1/2.5". Begitu sudah mahir maen2 sama fuji S6500fd, bisa berpikir pindah ke DSLR dan langsung pakai umur shutternya dengan maksimal (sayang kan kalo dipake belajar, pas jago dah abis umurnya..hehe).


Salah satu hasil foto portrait of my wife, we're expecting our 1st child next month, one of the reason I bought a new digicam. Ini hasil 6M Fine (3:2 ratio), belum ada re-touch sama sekali. ISO 100, 1/220 sec, F/4.1, at 39mm F-lenght, without flash, spot metering.

Full review dari dpreview.com klik disini

Sholat yu!!


Mencoba menjadi Kemaltaba Grey (refer to Noah Grey ) hehehe....Namanya juga belajar berfoto dengan baik dan benar...jadi peniru dulu, asal bukan plagiat.The shot was actually taken by my big brother while I was explaining to him how to use the camera. I don't have filters yet, only UV, coz they cost a fortune so I use photoshop instead...keuntungan hidup di jaman digital...hehe
btw...gw pake Fuji S6500fd, many people look down on this camera just because it's not an SLR or PRO cam...but NOT PRO-Photographer...surprisingly...they're quite surprised of this camera (try googling for reviews)...gw juga mo ngebuat reviewnya siy...tapi bingung, gian...review dari newbie apa bisa di percaya?!?!?

You gotte be kidding me?


Just 15 mnts ago I recieved a letter, inside are 5 packs of condoms from one of the biggest comdomizer there is...and also a letter...off course.
The letter said "Congratz, you are one of the chosen 100 condom testers from many applicants"...and I actually burst into tears....laughing sooooo hard. I dunno why they pick me coz I was just answering to an ad that my friend gave me, and never cross my mind that they'd choose me.

Well, I'm the official tester now....hmmm I like the word "official", somehow its empowering me...does this mean I got a License to F***?!?
let see...wat this 5 rubber thingy can do....hmmmmm

Warung Mak Eha in BW Panoramic


Ternyata buat panoramic foto ga pake proper tools susah juga ya?!?! masih hunting fish eye lens tapi belum nemu yang tipe nya pas...pas ama kantong maksud gw heheh....Ini retouch photoshop pake 2 foto yang gw ambil sambil nyandar di tembok...yeap...lucu kalo gw bawa2 tripod ke dalam pasar (secara tripod pun lom beli). Kesalahan gw disini selaen ga pake tripod juga lupa nge-lock exposure level antara foto pertama dan kedua, akhirnya dua foto ini beda exposure cahayanya, walo dengan photoshop bisa dikoreksi dikit tapi tetep aja masi keliatan garis batas antara 2 foto.

Foto 1 kanan : Shutter Speed 1/30; F/2,8
Foto 2 Kiri : Shutter Speed 1/10; F/2,8

Agak susah ternyata bikin panoramic dalam ruangan, beda kalo di outdoor dimana level cahaya stabil.

Jajan di Bandung : Re-open for bussiness



Setelah setahun lebih kehilangan access (baca : username dan password) akhirnya blog pertama gw berhasil diselamatkan, ga disangka peminatnya banyak juga dan udah masuk halaman pertama di google searh (urutan 3...yeaaaaaaaaa!!! ehm). Sekarang harus cari bahan lagi buat dimasukin, sayang banget selama setahun vacuum gw dah makan di banyak tempat (keliatan dari berat gw yang dah balik dari 75 ke 83 kg....yeaaaaaaa!!! again).

This small comfy corner in a hospital room is my space to do almost anything: browsing, chatting, playing games in my NDS or even experimenting with my old coolpix camera while my dad is recovering from his CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) surgery.

Sushi Academy


Hueheheh....setelah sekian lama menahan diri, akhirnya ga kuat juga buat bikin sushi sendiri...semua bahan bahan di beli di Setiabudhi supermarket. Karena masih pemula jadi cm buat Nigiri ma Maki (plus sashimi kali sisa salmonnya...hehe). Ada temen gw yg sama sekali lom pernah makan sushi, so I invited him over...walo dia sempet nanya,
"Yang buat sushinya sapa?"
"Ya gw lah, dodol, kan dah gw bilang gw bikin sushi ntar"
"Ouwh...",...gw ga tau dia bilang ouw ato ouch....hehehe
dan akhirnya dia dateng, dia makan, and he hated sushi...hihihi
btw...more sushi to come...so be prepared

The Mind Gym - Impact

Hasil dari TheMindGym , lucunya sama persis sama hasil evaluasi boss gw ke gw...hihihi...artinya boss gw jago nilai orang

You are an Adapter

As your scores are a mix of Carer (38.0) , Professional (30.0) and Driver (32.0) you are an Adapter.

Adapters are people who are a combination of each of the other three styles. You see the merits in focusing on people, on getting things done and on quality. You value flexibility and taking a balanced approach to any situation.

You can often take the role of peacekeeper in a disagreement as you quickly see and empathise with each of the different perspectives.

Adapters like to adapt, experiment, be open to change, make sure bases are covered and options considered. You sometimes feel pulled in many directions by their different motivations. Stuck with a problem! I?ll work out a way to find a solution, is your natural response

* At your best: flexible, adaptable, collaborative, mediator, jack of all trades
* At your worst: weak, political, all-pleasing, conviction-less, master of none
* What you hate: people who are stuck in their ways; obstinacy; extreme behaviours
* The perfect person if . . . you want to manage all possible eventualities.

Man, Soccer and Beers

"Cowo tu harus suka bola, kalo cowo ga suka bola brarti aneh", tats what my friend (a she) told me when we had a conversation a couple of weeks ago. Dan ga cuma dia, gw rasa banyak yg masih punya anggapan klise seperti itu. Kasian bgt kalo gw pikir, pemikiran klise yg dibentuk sejak ratusan tahun yg lalu....Well HEYYYY....reality check guys, we're living in 2007, 21st century where soccer is not the only sport arround. I my self is a race addict (cars only), I love nascars, WRC, WTCC, DTM and offcourse, F1 grand prix, those are 21st century sports where man and machines combined. Yet....many thinks if I dun dig soccer...I'm not man enough?!?!?! Ada yg argumen kalo balapan sih cm gitu2 aja, bosen, gian, ga macho......ga macho gimana?!? Driving in 300kmh and enduring 3x G-force for an hour is not macho?!? Even an F-16 pilots can only endure those kind of G-force in 15mnts max in a dogfight. It's just a matter of choice, I chose 21st century, Hi adrenaline and Hi speed sport rather than a century old soccer game, I chose to learn how to put my car in slipstream and slingshot forward rather than how to shake the ball, it's my choice and I think it's a choice to be respected.
Another example is today, I had a conv with my best friend, she told me that one of her kolig won't drink even when they were all out all nite drinking. She said, wats the point of hanging out with friends who drinks when he's not even drinks beer?!? I said, he chose to be with his friend, sharing the good times, without boost, wats wrong with it? It's his choice, he values the good companies, not the beers. I used to hang out with junkies....but I don't do drugs, they are loyal and good friends, I like them and they don't even bother when I do Vitamin C and not the "pills".
It's 21st century when all the options are available, people are free to make their choice and sud be respected.
Bukannya "perbedaan" yang makes life more interesting?

Gw paksain mpe turun jembatan dikit biar agak landai, parked my car dan untungnya ada tukang ban deket situ, dia bantuin ganti ben serep gw.

Wat the hell is wrong with my tyre?!?! Double flat in less than 15 mnts?!?!

My TRANSFORMERS


They're cute eh?
Yeap those little cars might not transformed into hitech robot but they might turn into something else someday. Here's the thing, my company has been giving out this cars as a symbolic of Engine of Growth, it's the thing to recognize your achievement or "good deeds" in the company. Ntar tiap 6 bln diadain lelang, these cars will act as the "money", so the more u have, the richer u are, and the bigger ur chance to win the bid. Yang di lelang dari happy "dugem" hours ampe grand prize nya seperti PS3...wow...uhuh I heard that...but there's a catch...sigh, kalo lo menang bid grand prize, u get to choose between three envelops, one of them is the grand prize, others? well...still worthed tapi ga semahal grand prize. I won last years grand prize, black iPod Nano 8gigs....SOLD...wakakak....i dun like iPod anyway....hihihihi...wonder what next grand prize is?!?!? hmmmm....triple the sallary?!?!? hihihihi

Broadband Develops


Internet...dulu cuma mimpi punya internet pribadi dirumah...hell I didn't even noe how to use IRC back in Highschool, now look at me, I can't even live a day without internet...and I need it to be broadband...sigh...manusia, ga pernah puas. So here's how my broadband develops

1997
say hello to home internet, inget temen gw yg namanya Aip punya internet di rumah, kalo ga salah dia pake salah satu ISP lokal di bandung. Waktu lebaran dia pulang kampung ke Prembun (di jawa tengah), trus dia minjemin modemnya sama user/password ISPnya, masih ada sisa dari paket 30jam/bln. kecepatan kurang dari 64kbps/8kBps tapi gw dah hepi banget.
1999
ProNet hadir di bandung, masih dialup 63kpbs, paket 45rb u/ 10 jam internet...soalnya masih memperhitungkan pulsa telpon rumah....10 jam?!?!? yeah sure
2001
disconected....hiks
2003
back to ProNet, this time with unlimited package 82rb/month...hell yeah...disaster for my phone bill.
2004
Internet go mobile...yahoooooooooooooo....I got my N-Gage and a GPRS connection, masi mahal sih, tapi mayan bisa chat di YM pake agile trus cek friendster. waktu itu 30rp/KB
2005
Blackberry era has come, I got my first blackberry handheld with 24-7 internet connection, not free thou, but wat the hell, the company paid all the bills anyway...hihihi
2006
Sobat gw di singapore bener2 nyebelin...she always brag about how fast her connection was, how cheap it was dan betapa dia hobi donlod film dari youtube...sucks...akhirnya gw ga tahan dan pake Speedy...wow...512kbps bowk, keren...330rb/750Megs trus nambah jadi 1 gig, tapi masa kejayaan speedy ga berlangsung lama...kecepatan makin turun sampe kadang dibawah dialup
2007
So long speedy...I'm moving to XL-Centrin unlimited 300rb/bln. cuma dapet 100kbps sih, tapi mayan dibanding dialup and it's mobile....hmmm...cuma sebulan dan gw ga puas...hihihi...back to broadband again...but WIRELESS...thanks to telkomsel flash now I have 3.2Mbps for 40hours/month with only 200k to pay...but...I'm still thinkin about that unlimited package from myGPRS...hmmm...we'll c

hihihi...memang panjang perjuangan gw buat konek ke internet

Roaming Bro?



Gw punya kebiasaan, jelek mungkin, untuk menirukan dialek orang yg sedang gw ajak bicara. It comes naturally as I always find it hard to resist. Dimana aja gw berada ato sama siapapun, dialek jawa kalo ngomong ma org jawa, dialek batak kalo ama orang batak ato gi di terminal/pasar (wakakak), I talk Sing-glish when I'm in spore/malay, dan yang paling parah.....bahasa indonesia pun bisa jadi logat bule kagok kalo gi ngomong ma bule/org asing yang bisa bahasa indonesia tapi masi kagok logatnya. kalo gw perhatiin, banyak temen2 gw juga sama, suka pindah logat tergantung sapa lawan bicaranya...hihihi...Roaming ya bro?

MASMIA - Reviewed



Stephen Chow goes Indonesia...yes...that is exactly wat this movie feels. Without good story line and hardly any moral comes from this movie, only "Lie wont get you anywhere but trouble". But its a comedy, the main purpose is to make people laugh....and I must say it serves it purpose very well. I don't give a damn how bad the rating is, and how awful the critics are, I mean, they're using the wrong measurement, they're rating comedy based on story..?!?!?!?...its like measuring racing car by its beauty...not its speed or torque. This movie is worth your money, I'm getting the dvd when its available. There are two scenes that really made me laugh sooooo hard and soooooo long, I dont wanna become a spoiler but I'll give you a hint "Fire" and "Horas"...you gotta watch the movie to find out which scene.

Impulsive Buying : very-very dangerous!!!!!

How many time you have a sudden urge to buy something,? just because it's there in front of you and you squeeze your brain to find a reason why you need it? And when you can't find it you ensure your self that you will need it somehow and end up making impulsive purchase? Gw yakin sekali seumur hidup pasti ada (ato berkalii-kali?!?). Biasanya gara2 kita ngeliat satu item yg harganya turun atau barang yang unik yg sulit dicari. Semalem (but I didn't buy it....thx God) gw ke ambas, like always, parked my car at ITC dan nyebrang lewat jembatan sambung yg banyak penjual handphone. Ga tau kenapa gw iseng (padahal emang sering gitu) nanya2 harga w950i bekas, masi garansi resmi mpe april 08, harga ngasi 2.5 belum ditawar. HAH?!?!?! SERIUS?!?!? Kan harga baru 3.5, baru dipake 2bln plg jatuh 3.2 lah. Gw curiga ada yg aneh, ternyata dia blg dia dapet murah gara2 awalnya kekunci. Gw terima alesannya tp masih mikir, gw puter2 dan ternyata rata2 kondisi sama masi diatas 3. I decided to buy it. Lagi jalan ke toko yg tadi, ada ide buat pura2 jual w950i (padahal ga punya) buat nawar O2 sync. Guess wat...dia cm mo nerima 1.6 juta buat my invisible w950i. Shocked dong, gw nanya napa ternyata dia bilang tadi sore SE ngedarin price list baru, w950i dari 3.5jt free fall ke 2.5, dan masi banyak toko jual di 3.5, biasa cari untung gede, ga bilang ke customer. Trus gw tanya SE dia belagak pilon, wajarlah, to protect retailers, I wud do the same. Pnasaran gw probing ke 4 toko laen dan gw tembak gw dapet info uda turun, akhirnya mereka kasi harga 2.5juta, 2.435 modal mereka. Bused....ampir gw ketipu...tapi tep aja itu dah mo ke atm ambil duit buat beli, thx god my wife called and I stupidly told her I was going to buy w950i cos this and that.....and.....you noe the rest....tipikal nasib para suami....hihihi
Anyway, think twice before making impulsive purchase or go arround the block to cool off and maybe you forgot about it. And for music lovers and touch screen lovers.....it's time to dig w950i.......hohoho.....unless u have a wife
Hihihi

Begundal Lanang Jahanam


Had a conversation with my buddy just now, and he's using Mobile YM in his Blackberry phone that is tends to locks up if recievin too much data from YM. So I did, as my instinct told me, I bombard him with a lot of text, I copied-pasted a word document and was trying to "kill" his BB, and suddenly he answered me with, "BEGUNDAL LANANG JAHANAM....jangan sok2 copy paste ya". I laughed hard, I mean, it's been ages since I heard that line, back when I was in Surabaya it's a common words, like Jancok (althou no one knows wat it means)....hihihi...somehow I miss those words. Tinggal cari ke sapa mo gw lemparin kata2nya...wakakak

Sushi Fools


ini buat yang sering ato yang mau makan sushi, gw dari dulu dah curiga ini kalo makan sushi pasti ada etiketnya, dari urutan pesenan sampe cara makan. Untungnya gw selama ini suka makannya di resto sushi yang franchise gitu, jadi ga seberapa malu-maluin kalo salah...hihihii...
Ada banyak site di internet tentang etiket makan sushi, dan semua rata2 ngalamin hal yg sama ma gw, yaitu bingung musti pesen apa dan cara makannya. Dibawah gw tulis rangkuman singkat dari smua site yg gw temuin ya, moga2 bermanfaat:

Sushi itu dulunya adalah makanan istimewa, biasa dimakan oleh para samurai jepang saat perang, kokinya dinamain Itamae. Kalo ngomong samurai pasti ga jauh2 dari adat yang kental. Jaman dulu para samurai sangat hormat pada Itamae, karena mereka sangat menghormati orang yang mengisi perut mereka tiap hari.
Ada empat macam sushi yang basic dan cara makannya,
Sashimi (potongan ikan mentah), biasa dipesan sebagai pembuka, bole pake sumpit ato tangan, campurin kecap asin sama sedikit wasabi di ujung piring kecil, celupin dikit aja ke wasabinya.
Nigiri (nasi pake ikan mentah diatasnya), kalo pake tangan pegang bagian ikan pake jempol dan bagian bawah nasi pake telunjuk, biasanya uda ada wasabi antara ikan dan nasi, jadi jangan nambah terlalu banyak, bisa dianggap penghinaan pada itamae, colek kecap dikit di bagian ikan jangan bagian nasi, makan sekali suap dengan ikan menghadap bawah dan menempel ke lidah, feel the texture.
Makisushi (nasi gulung pake isi dibungkus nori), cara makan sama seperti nigiri, sekali suap aja, jangan mpe malu-maluin pake makan setengah terus kita sibuk ngumpulin pecahan nasinya di piring.
Temaki (seperti ice cone pake nori), nah yang ini mpe sekarang gw ga nemu cara makannya, gw sih pake tangan terus makan dari ujung cone bawahnya....hihihi...ada yang tau?

terus kalo lama nunggu pesenan, mending ambil rebus kacang dulu...ga usa sok di campur wasabi makan kacangnya...hehe...ada satu lagi yaitu acar jahe (weksss) dulu gw ga ngerti buat apa, ternyata itu buat nge-"reset" lidah lo supaya rasa ga campur aduk. Jadi tiap lo ganti tipe sushi ato jenis ikannya, mending makan dulu acar ini selembar (sumpah aneh bgt rasanya). Itu aja, satu lagi kalo emang lo makan di sushi bar beneran ama real japs yg kokinya, better baca2 dulu di internet etiketnya...
HAPPY SUSHI DIPPING......!!!!!!

Heroes Season 2


Ini beberapa wish list gw buat finishing heroes season 1 and start up of season 2

1. Ando yg kt kira adalah orang normal tiba2 punya kekuatan saat mo nyelametin Hiro, tapi terus mati, jadi sekali keluar power trus mati....kasian d

2. Ada musuh baru yg super sakti terus sylar akhirnya gabung ma peter, kan intinya sylar ga mau bunuh orang(inget ep 22?), cm org2 yg punya kekuatan aja, jadi seperti bejita ama goku hehehe

Nah kalo ini dari forum ttg heroes :

Quote:
Site user james directed us to this video on YouTube where Molly Walker, the little girl who can "find" Heroes by thinking about them, informs Matt Parkman, Mohinder, and Bennet that while Sylar (the bogeyman) is bad, there are in fact someone much worst than Sylar out there, and he can see her. I believe this clip is from the season finale next week, so it could possibly be setting up the Season 2 villain. If that's the case, then one gets the feeling Sylar won't survive Season 1…  

Hmmmmmm.....heroes makin seru aja....btw, ada yg bilang gw mirip Matt Parkman loh.....hueheheh

Satisfaction = Expectation

Just like the tittle said, satisfaction is equal to expection. Lucu juga kejadian akhir2 ini had lead me to this conclusion. Yang bisa muasin seseorang itu benernya ada di otak dia sendiri, dan itu adalah ekspektasi. Kalo ada istilah "happiness is in our self" gw bilang itu well said. Semakin tinggi ekspektasi lo, semakin susah lo terpuaskan, tapi ekspektasi itu yg drive kita buat achieve something, buat kita maju. Gw ada bbrp kasus yg kejadian baru2 aja :

*Gw baru upgrade pc, mayan powerfull lah, trus pas gw maen game gw pengennya pake full detail, ya terang aja megap2 pc gw, secara itu game kluaran 2007 yg spec nya tinggi, trus gw jadi rada kecewa, padahal kalo dibanding spec pc lama gw......juauuuuhhhh banget bagusnya yg sekarang, the problem is I set my expectation to high.

*Minggu gw kluar ma lili ke lembang, dia pengen makan sate kelinci di satu tempat yg terkenal, sampe disana ternyata dah abis, akhirnya drpd ga jadi kita makan di tempat laen, yg lebih kecil dan sepi. To my surprise ternyata satenya lbh enak dan lebih murah, tapi lili tetep ga puas, dia bilang ga sama rasanya ma yg di tempat "itu". The problem is ini ga sesuai ekspektasi lili ke lembang makan sate kelinci di tempat "itu" sampai ga mau nerima the fact bahwa ada yg lebih baik.

* di kerjaan, taun ini emang berat bgt dan tantangannya bisa bikin org gila. Tapi dibulan yg sama taun lalu gw ngadepin masalah sama, even worse maybe. Saat itu gw smangat bgt dan bilang ke diri gw ma team mate gw kalo we can do this, and we did, we had a great year. Dan waktu itu gw ngerasa kalo gw give my best maka th depan (which is this year) ga kan seberat saat itu. Ternyataaaaa.....th ini berat juga dan ekspektasi gw tu th ini gw bisa lebih santai, padahal kalo gw punya spirit kek th lalu keknya ga masalah. Gw sadar waktu gw curhat ma teammate gw dia bilang "I didn't noe u are this depressed?!? I tot u are all fired up and tats wats keep me going all this time, because u make me belief we can do this?!?", gw sadar bahwa gw uda kebawa virus "mengeluh" typical indonesian worker (itu istilah sobat gw...hihi), jadi gara2 th ini tdk sesuai ekpektasi gw maka gw ga bahagia?!?

So, happiness is equal to how we satisfied our expectation, and we need to set our expectation to achieve something in our lives. U need to find the right combination betwen satisfaction and expectation.....well, I noe one thing for sure.....u didn't expect to see such a serious and long post here in my blog.....hihihi....sorry

GA 430 to Jogja


Got delayed tripple times, pertama dari jam 09.35 ke jam 10.00. Kedua dah masuk di pesawat terus di cockpit rusuh ga tau napa dan kita smua disuru keluar lagi but to leave our belonging onboard. Ketiga setelah nunggu 15 mnt di ruang tunggu akhirnya masuk pesawat lagi, sempet nunggu another 30mnts dalam keadaan mesin pswt mati and no air conditioning akhirnya pesawat taxing ke take off runway, uda diujung runway tiba-tiba pesawat muter balik ke ramp, dan for the third times we were asked to leave the airplane, now with our belonging. Akhirnya my boss called me and she asked me to cancel my trip and so I did, dan sekarang gw lagi cengok nungguin koper gw yg musti diturunin dari pesawat, made few phone calls to cancel my appointment. Gw bukannya mo jadi superstisi or something tapi mang dari kemaren gw ga enak perasaan buat pergi, ditambah kejadian sekarang gw makin ill feel. So maybe cancelling this trip is for the best, althou I noe it will means more work for me for the next week....sigh.....

So f*cked up!!!!!



I am losing focus
I am hating people
I am becoming whiny
I am losing my temper

And I do not have any justification for these!


I copy paste it from my bestfriend's blog...guess we're on the same page...

How you value things....

Before we go thru this, lets check on the conversations below:

CASE 1
Female (F) : I think u need a new pair of shoes
Male (M) : really?
F : Here, these are perfect for you
M : But it cost more than $150
F : Well if you wanna look good u need to pay, and I want u to look good
M : Nah, I'd rather spend tat $150 for a upgrading my cell phone
F : Why do you even need a new phone? wats wrong wif your cell phone?
M : Nothing, and the same goes with my current shoes
F : But we're still on a tight budget? c'mon...
M : I noe...but spending $150 for shoes that I rarely gonna use compare to the pda phone I'd sure gonna use every minutes? I'll vote for the phone.
F : dun you listen to me? we're on a tight budget
M : So wats the different spending $150 on shoes and $150 on phones to our budget? we still end up spending $150?!?

CASE 2
M : honey, you can't go on like this, i think you need to get your self a laptop
F : I noe, but do I really need it now?
M : I think you do, and we have the budget for that
F : you noe wat I need? I need a spa therapy at least twice a month and maybe a new hand bag to cool off my mind
M : SPA?!? it's a total waste of money, and new hand bags?!? you already got a closet full of em
F : and buying a laptop is not? you're the one who wanted me to have a laptop, not me, wat i need is something else

So?!?! waddya think? well, I come to conclusion tat you can't assume you noe wat others want. In terms of spending their money, people have their own preferences and it can be vary for each individuals. Wat you think important might be a real garbage for someone else, and also dun forget we tend to think according to our preferences.

this is a common rules tat everybody sud noe and implement in their live, which for me, I just implement it recently. I think the furthest you can say to people who had just made a useless purchase (in our point view)is ,

"Are you satisfied with this? is it lives up your expectation?"

Never say, "You really wasted your money on this, I were u I'd rather....."

But if you really need to comment, do compare it with item on the same category and give a valid reason like, "I think with $400 I wud not go for W880, I'd rather choose P990i coz its on the same price but has a qwerty keyboard, PDA with touchscreen and you still abble to do things like with your w880"

anyway, it's a random thought......try to open your self to the real world

Movie : BABEL --> Not for the f*cked up days


Seriously, I was in a bad...bad...bad... mood lately coz some stupid errand on the job, and I tot I needed a movie therapy. I bought a lot of titles (pirated off course), Bean 's Holiday, Dejavu, 300, Epic Movie, and Talladega Nights. But instead of watching those I bought, I picked the movie tat my sister gave me, she said it's a good movie and have won a lots of awards....and so I watched it (which I'm seriously regret it now).
The movie is about simple life stories of several individuals who lives across the globe, which happened to have connections, and a series of unfortunate events (if I may say so) took place in each and every single individuals in the movie, and when I say unfortunate...I mean it bad...it can harshly decrease your mood, it will send you down o the bottom of your soul. It's all about "How things can get really wrong for anyone, anywhere and anytime". This movie is kinda like "love actually" and "crash", but somehow I enjoyed em, especially "love actually" coz it has happy ending, but not this movie.
How would u like to see a man got his wife shot in the neck while in the bus somewhere in the morroco and in the same time their 5-8 years old children is witnessing the cruelty of Mexico and stranded in a desert, and...the one who shot his wife was actually a 10 years old kid who was just playing with a new riffle which was sold to the kids father just this morning....and....the one who sold the riffle got tortured by the police investigating the shooting, and the boy's brother got killed by the police trying to arrest him...and...the rightful owner of the riffle was a successful japanese man who was just lost his wife on a suicide and has dissabled doughter...beautiful girl...but cant even date a guy coz of her handicap even when she offered her body to every guy she noes and that drove her to insanity?!?!?!?

I noe....just reading it makes u feel awful, so....do your self a favor...if you haven't watch this movie...DON'T...unless you have enuf sanity left in your mind than it will be...maybe...just ok.

here is the link for metacritic on this movie

Hati-hati kalo pake WC umum



Buat temen-temen yang kebelet pas di luar rumah dan terpaksa harus pake WC umum, ini ada beberapa hal yg gw saranin supaya ga terjadi disaster....

- Begitu masuk, cek pintu WC ada kunci apa ga? trus ada tempat gantung celana pa ga?
- Liat dulu tu WC pake sistem air (ember ato semprotan) atau sistem kering (tissue)
- Cek dulu ada air ga, ato minimal tissuenya ada pa ga? jangan langsung brojol aja tanpa liat2 dulu...sapa tau ga ada air...tisu pun tak nampak.....WUAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

In case of emergency, do the following :
- ga ada air? ga ada tissue? kalo bawa saputangan ya korbanin aja
- pasang kuping baik2, kalau sekiranya dah ga ada orang, ambil celana dan barang2 pribadi laennya dan lari ke cubicle WC sebelah (ini dah jorok banget karena pasti the sh*t dan meleber kemana mana....yucks)...ini blm tentu ada air/tisu juga loh di sebelah...
- telpon temen minta beliin tisu....itu kalo lo ga malu dan temen lo ga keburu ill feel.
- anything u do....make sure u don't leave the toilet UNWIPPED!!!

hmmmmmm....ga penting ya...tapi daripada terjadi malapetaka

10 Things To-Do in a Boring Meeting



These are some of the things I or my friends do in a boring meeting,


1. Sketch or draw a person that standing in front of the room who causes the whole stupidity. Compete with your friends, the ugliest wins.

2. Done with sketching? well break your freebies pencil into pieces, once again, compete with your friends, the most pieces wins.

3. Well it's time to get serious, open up your laptop, open your outlook (this is really just for emergency) and play games such as Dinner Dash, dun forget to dried up the volume, get ready to press Alt+tab to switch to your outlook just in case yer boss spotted you.

4. Playing games cud be boring it self, so take out your blackberry or any mobile phone u have that support Yahoo Messenger and chat with yer friends. Chat with anyone, tell them how u suffered and trapped inside a boring meeting, or chat with your kolig, and make jokes of the meeting.

5. You got any PSP or Nintendo DS?!?!? Well it's time to put it into a real good use. I have a NDS and so does my friends/koligs....so...waddya say if we get on the multiplayer Wifi Games...Bomberman?

6. If you are an important person or wanna look like one, than yer phone sud always rings every 10 mnts, now u noe wat to do, rite? yeah...PICK UP THE PHONES AND WALK OUT OF THE ROOM!!!! even when no one is calling...hehe...just make sure u put yer phone on silent mode, or u'll be a sorry ass if yer phone rings while u are on the phone....hehehehe (not to mention the damage to yer ear).

7. Try to look serious...dun ever fall asleep...if u lucky enough, there sud be a hot coffee or tea, try to make experiments...mix up your drinks, like tea+lemon+creamer+sugar and add a little coffee...and once again...IF U GET LUCKY...you got a major stomachache, another excuse to leave the meeting.

8. This one is old and need a bit shameless people to do it, they have done this since our ancestor (remember the monkey?) yeeeeeaaaahhhh.....help your friends get rid off all the gray hair manifested from the hard work.

9. Had a crush with yer kolig? try to sit next to her/him. whether you got welcomed or ignored...both will rush yer adrenaline.

10. Last but not least...if your company is big enough to have more than 50 ppls seating in a room...you could just bail out and keep your finger crossed that your boss wud not notice...hehe...

Well...that's a wrap, I'm off to the WORLD GOURMET SUMMIT 2007...will give the review after I'm full...hehehe

Playing With Google Earth

Just downloaded the copy of Google Earth last weekend and it rocks. I mean it's fun, googling the earth with satelite, finding the roof of your house, office, etc. Anyway, here's some of my spotting screen shots,



My old house back when I was in elementary school (Rumah Mangga), located at the border of Surabaya and Sidoarjo, kompleks Pondok Chandra Indah. Had my 1st crush with my neighbour there, when I was 8 years old...hehehe...memories still linger thou...



Went to this school, from 1st to 3rd grade, lotsa memories there




4th to 6th grade...met with 2nd crush (hihihi) and this is where I met my 1st rival...he's dead now...car accident with his girlfriend about 8 years ago...real sorry bro, you were one helluva rival

Got Yelled Coz I drive "B" ?!?!?



Today's traffic was a killer...I really mean it could kill someone...and it all thanks to hundreds or maybe millions of "B" platted cars. Ga tau apa yang di cari di Bandung?!?!?!? Perjalanan dari rumah ke tempat fave (baca=electronic solution)biasanya serasa jalan dari dapur ke kamar mandi...cepet...tapi sekarang?!?!?!? Rasanya seperti dari dapur ke kamar mandi pas kebelet pipis tapi ada orang gi boker di dalem kamar mandi.....ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!
anyway, it was arround 1 pm, di pertigaan jalan Laswi, lampu merah di situ emang 3 jalur dikanan penuh sama orang yang mo belok ke kanan, sementara yang lurus cuma nyisa satu jalur paling kiri. Pas macet banget, jadi kalo orang mo lurus salah ambil jalur ya harus sabar mpe yang ke kanan abis. Gw....karena emang pribumi sini, tau persis jangan sampe salah ambil jalur, dan emang gw dah bener...eeeeee...ada mobil sedan item (tuner style) di sebelah kanan (Plat "D" Bandung padahal) maksa mo ambil kiri, tapi dah ga mungkin, ada orang gila di jalur kirinya (ehmmm...it's me). Wajarlah ga gw kasi, dalem hati gw bilang bego banget orang bandung bisa salah jalur. Terus ya bisa di tebak, kt pepet-pepetan maen who's the chicken, sampe akhirnya spion dia jadi korban (ketekuk doang sih....tapi karena spion dia model matic yg nekuknya pake motor, keknya mampus juga tu spion ke tekuk paksa). trus dia (penumpang) buka jendela dan teriak, "JAKARTA ANJIIING!!!!!!", wajar gw tersinggung, bukan gara-gara dibilang anjing, tapi dibilang orang JAKARTA. Langsung gw rem mobil, buka jendela, pasang muka sengak terus keluar deh kata2 mujarab asli bandung, tapi gw ga teriak, cm ngomong pelan ala mafia, "naon sia beul!!!, kehet!!!"...well, cukup untuk membuat mereka tutup mulut, dan tutup jendela....hehehe...mayan, ditengah stress kejebak macet ada hiburan juga.
