Justlimz is my online moniker.

I have graduated from London School of Economics External Studies' Bachelor of Science in Business with First Class Honours. My convocation ceremony is going to be undertaken in April 2011.

This is my personal blog. In this blog you can find my own writings about some topics under My Writings Section. (PS : My grammar and structure are bad! i seldom, probably never, review my first draft). My writing section usually filled with a more serious blog post regarding certain issue that i wished to raised. But please note that any issue raised or posted here are for recreational purpose only. So if you have doubts or grudges on my post, please consult professional.

Then in my recording section, you can find some songs that was sung by me. (LOL.. some are bad, some are okay, none are good). The recording section was filled with songs that was recorded using handphone or 'cheappo' recorder, so please be understanding that the quality is not good.

Then in Lyrics section, you can find some lyric translation by me or by some other people which i found on internet. I like to translate mandarin/ chinese song because i listen to them often. If you want to request some lyric translation, you can posted on the chat box. I will try my best in the soonest possible moment to post it.

Still have one more section which is 'picture'. In picture section, i posted several picture that i took with my blackberry phone. The quality is not good of course but if you don't mind, you can enjoy some pictures of my daily life.

My Parents Corn Mill

2011-03-10T17:26:00.000+08:00

Currently i am working at my parents' corn mill at pematang tanah jawa, North Sumatera, Indonesia. Here is the picture:

I have a grand plan for expansion but my parents still didn't let me handle the company. I am waiting for the time though i am afraid everything will be too late.

Keep Praying... :)

Grandma In Hospital

2011-03-10T17:07:00.000+08:00

Two days ago, my grandma felt sick and unable to eat. At the night, we moved her to the hospital. Since then, she hasn't been really awake. The condition is better compared to before in hospital though.

I hope she can recovered soon. :)
Buddha Bless her....

Dilemma

2011-02-26T23:13:00.000+08:00

Today, my parent's cornmill's warehouse head didn't come due to some reason which i don't really care about it. As a result, i need to work my ass out to cover his absent.

As information, the company according to my opinion has very little human resource. Only one or two person that are dependable, the rest are just rubbish. I don't blame them for becoming rubbish. This company lack motivation and source on enjoyment in working, let alone, good working condition. How can i change the "system" that has been working in a place for 30 over years? They wouldn't listen to me. I have try to persuade, coax or whatever things that are needed or suggested but still my voice went on wall.

Back to the topic, I worked my ass out to control 15 people who are located in two distinct location. Under the rain, under the sun, i walked, run, direct and coordinate. Since i am backed to Indonesia, i have become darker and darker. And every hard working day's night, i can't feel my feet.

I have been thinking of leaving and trying my luck in this vast world until they decided to let me handle the company wholly. But my mind keep thinking, if i am not staying, they will have to work even harder. They are my parents and i feel it's my responsibility to help them even it hurts me. But also, if i stayed, i will never improved and i even afraid that i might have been forgotten what i needed to do later when it's handed to me as i have been doing the "old system" for so long.

Thinking and thinking.... Leaving or staying... liu xia or li kai?

Something About the way

2011-02-26T00:01:00.000+08:00

There's something about the way i looked at you
Though everything is just a moment long
But that's the part i realized something is different
I know this ain't a movie, nor it's a fantasy
I feel something to a person that i have never met in person

Every times there's an image of somebody coming to my mind
and this heart keeps telling that it's you
but it's so hard to accept that i can't be around you
like others...

You've got your life. :)

PS: Today i saw her telling on her bbm that she can't sleep. Wanted to ask but i realized even if i ask nothing's gonna come out. Even if i show my care, she won't see it. So it's better for me to just praying for her.

Business Bisnis

2011-02-25T20:46:00.000+08:00

I have been trying to involved in real world business for almost a year now, exactly around 8 months. I haven't made any significant deal yet. The most impressive deal that i think i have made so far is 30 tons to a new customer who found my number on the internet, though my deal was cut by my parents as they feel they are more capable in doing things, which i think is their self delusion.

Not saying i am great enough to overcome them. Not yet, but i believe if i were exposed to the field more, i can be better than them in no time. Alas, i wasn't given any real chance. My only hope is to do business outside my family core business.

I hope next week i can made a deal for rice bran with a customer. Wish me luck! :)

Valentine days

2011-02-25T20:28:00.000+08:00

14 February 2011, is the date where couples all around the world celebrate the love day. In this day, couples will give the most special and heartening surprises to their partner.

I personally never put special meaning to this date before. I think it was just an ordinary day and talking about love, we can expressed it every day too. So we don't need a "special" love day as everyday can be special.

Around a month ago, i become closer to a girl. I never really meant to woe her at first but it all happened so fast till when i realized i can't let go again. I contemplated several times, is this good?

The problem is not because i don't want her, it's just that my past has something to do with her. I feel so awkward and i am not sure she knew about my past too.

But that's it, day passed and i follow the streams.

Then nearing valentine day, i try to ask her out before the date as we never went out together and only meet on several occasion. So we can know each other better too. But time just weren't right. And till the day come, we still haven't met in person.

On the day, i ask her out for the night but maybe she thinks i am teasing her, she got a lil bit pissed off. Haish... i feel so stupid....

After that date, she become so ignorant against me. She rarely reply my message, she didn't even read my bbm message on several occasion, let alone reply it.

Now i became to feel so down. and probably we never meant to be together. But i do 'like' her.

Failure

2011-02-09T21:13:00.001+08:00

I have been helping my parents in their corn mill just outside Siantar city, 20mins journey from the city, since i graduated last year. Having been working for more than 7 months, i feel what i have gained is far more lesser than what i have lost. Working here has never been a pleasure for me not because this city got no entertainment but because of the way i was treated. Being the smallest in the family, i felt a lot of pressure. I am not listened to when i speak, i am not regarded as 'one independent voice' if i may said so. My hard work was not recognized yet my mistakes will always be spoken of in the family.

One thing i have predicted is that in around 2 more years, maybe less, there's gonna be a very big war between 'corn lord' around siantar city. The intensity has been increasing now and i have tried several times to warn my parents but it always fell on deaf ears. With our current system, machinery, it is obviously impossible to withstand such grand war.

There are also so many error in the mill that needs to be corrected. I have done several calculation myself and i need at least 5 years to build a strong company that's if i was given full authority and power on everything including finance.

Everyday i mourn about this company
about this family
Several times i think of just leaving
and betting my luck in this vast world
but when it come down to my parents
i decided to stay a lil longer
trying to convince what i think was inconvincable
trying to amend what i think was unamandable
but it's just because of parents
i stay.... a lil longer....
probably when the sun suddenly shines
and window of opportunity opened
i will packed my back and go for it
so that when the time comes for the big war
i can returned home with a legiun of strong army

I don't think i am the best but i believe i can do better than them.
I am not able to show them what i've got since i was given no power with lil responsibilty and lil trust.

Blogs Blogging

2011-01-28T20:26:00.002+08:00

I have started to blog since my high school year which is around 5-6 years ago. At that time, i blog because i have just learned some basic html function from school's computer subject. The programmed that we used was Dreamweaver.

But as soon as i started to venture to the 'virtual world', i realized that blog could be more than just a medium for me to learn basic html function. I can used it to improve my writing skills, even to earn some money. Then i started to get excited and created my first blog which is a blog for my class high school class, Moder Vuca's Perpetual (MVP).

I was motivated even more by the "money" as at that time i was trying to be more independent, to earn some extra money for myself. But my hardwork at that time didn't pay off, as "money". It's extremely difficult to earn click base-advertisement from google as my blog view at that time was below '10' each day.

However, the joy that i get is that, at least, my classmate still appreciate my work at that time by visiting or commenting or even contributing to the blog. Although, now the blog was no longer visited or updated, i feel very happy for what i have gotten from it.

The next blog i try to created is my personal blog, which is this blog you are visiting. it has been the longest standing blog that i have ever created though not regularly updated.

I used to make this blog as my medium to 'pour out' my bad feelings. It was quite a time ago. LOL... i feel quite stupid thinking about it now. :(
but now i am ready to start this blog afresh again. :)

I have also created several others blogs which on its sole purpose to earn money. I have since earned only around 200bucks from blogging. Now i have stopped doing 'earning-money' website cause it really takes most of my time. Now i'm trying to venture in the real world as i have try my luck in the virtual world and it didn't work out.

Broken Teeth

2011-01-03T22:51:00.003+08:00

I've just finished my dinner at Da Shanghai, Medan. I took a toothpick cause there's something stuck in between my teeth. When i finished "tooth-picking", something broken out of my "incisor". And i was shocked to found out that it was actually part of my incisor that broken out.

Now, i have to feel the "uncomfortable" feeling in my incisor up until i get it to the dentist for a fix this friday.

Starting afresh on my blog at 2011

2011-01-03T22:38:00.002+08:00

This is my first blog post after several months of absent.

New year celebration marks a new year which means the "new" themes is going on everywhere. People moved to new house, bought new cars, new boyfriend/ girlfriend, venturing out for new business and so on and so forth. On this new year, i am looking to start afresh my blog post on my daily life since i have just subscribed to Telkom Flash unlimited internet connection.

This new year celebration i spent, as usually, with my beloved family at JW Marriot,Medan. The party was not too cool according to me and my family. The only coolest performance was from Frans Rumbino who can make melody from a comb and plastic. He was said to have performed in White house. Ah... the food there was quite good too, better than the usual standards. I think the Event Organizer made several mistakes in planning the event which i wouldn't like to share it here.

I don't know what is happening

2010-06-23T20:49:00.002+08:00

I haven't been posting any post recently. from 9-15 June, i was in Guangzhou, China joining my brother's business trip. then when i came back to Singapore, i was busy packing all my scattered stuffs. Upon arriving at Medan, a place where i will be staying for a time being, i am meeting with my family and busy doing other stuffs until today i have a time to sit relax in front of my Toshiba and write a post.

For the past few days, i have been wondering on my future. I am not sure which path to take upon several paths that lies infront of me. There are three possible path that i have identified, stay at Medan, Singapore or work at Australia.

Personally, i am interested to go to Australia but the problem is that i have troubled in accomodation and in finding a job or even applying for the visa. Due to the financial crisis, the Australian Government is thought to have restricted the number of foreign worker (that's what my friend has been telling me at Aussie).

and in this post, i would like to share about somebody special to me. She study at Australia. Recently, she has been behaving strangely. She didn't have the mood to talk to me, she seems so down, i don't know what can i do.

I can't recall what exactly have i done. Everything seems fine until 17th June ( if i am not wrong). Several mistake that i probably have done :
1. She's complaining about her wage that has not been going up, and i didn't spend much time accompanying and comforting her.
2. I questioned her relationship with other guys. for the past three months, i can feel that something strong is developing between us but due to one or two things that annoyed me, i questioned it. (probably she didn't like me at all as what my friends have always been telling me, It's impossible for me to get her)
3. i notices she has been looking so down for a couple of days but i never tell her, i just let it be. I thought she was just too bored.
arrgghhh... i can't think of anything right now... it's exploding, my brain.

Finished My exams

2010-06-02T02:08:00.002+08:00

Today, 1st June 2010, i finished my three years study University London External study under SIM marked by the end of my last examination subject, Management: International Comparative perspective.

I have been a freeman since probably for a foreseeable future.

I didn't place a high expectation on my examinations after went to the exams, not because the exams are difficult this year. Infact, the exam this year is rather easy, in my opinion. It was my lack of preparation that cause my inability to expect high. However, everything has finished and i have no regret. Given the time, i have study hard enough.

....

The most interesting day today will be that i found out two interesting chinese song on youtube. The first one is, Xing fu de shi guang and the second one is More Water by waterman.

Xing fu de shi guang is a nice and slow song which could make your feeling comfortable and flow with the melody. The interesting part is the second song. Waterman is a new singer and he is characterized by his own unique costume. Just look at the video and you will realize how unique he was.

2010-05-26T03:43:00.005+08:00

This song was originally sung by ASOS, a duet group comprises of the well-known da S and xiao S.

2. Zui Lang Man de Shi

3. Ai Rang Mei Ge Ren Dou Xin Sui - David Huang Da Wei

Enjoy the song if you like it too!
PS : I am using my own database as the server for this video streams, it might be a little bit slow. Please let it buffer first! (press play and wait till it finished buffering and then listen to it!) :)

Starting a daily blog post

2010-05-26T00:30:00.002+08:00

I have been contemplating to start blogging about my daily life. At first, i thought this will be an invasion towards my privacy life as it can be read by much people. But then i think again, the post that i post can be just about what i am thinking or What i am doing not about what i actually feel or do.

I will try to post a post in every three days at least. Hopefully it is interesting enough.

[Corporate Finance] Agency Cost Of Outside Equity

2010-04-04T23:51:00.002+08:00

A few days ago i am revising Corporate Finance subject for my exam. Upon reading, i encountered a concept called Agency Cost of Outside Equity by Fama and French. At first, i think their explanation was quite plausible and logical. But as i went on to think about this concept, something feels quite "un-appropriate" for me personally.

Agency Cost is generally associated with the cost of an agent acting on his or her own will.

Agency Cost of Outside equity as described by Fama and French is the result of "slacking" by managers because they perceived their efforts are not well recognized in terms of monetary means.

Managers works to increase the firms value by incurring cost of efforts to them but because the equity of the firm was also held by outsider (outside equity), they only get a portion of their efforts' results. This, in turns, induces managers to lower their efforts in increasing firms value.

The solution that was given, is that managers can buy out those outside equity using debt financing hence increasing their proportion of equity in the firm.

To me, managers wouldn't have slacked around because they only hold a small proportion of the equity and only gets a small proportion of the rewards (i.e. dividends). The rationale behind this is that, managers have salary which induces them to manage the company well. And if they do it very well, they can claim bonuses which is decided by them too. This salary and bonuses is the cost of efforts that the managers can recoup as a result of being in the position to manage firms.

I personally think, there's little or probably no agency cost of outside equity.

On the opposite side, i think there's an agency cost of inside equity where managers claims extravagant bonuses.

Lyric meaning *:
like you comforting silence
Smile has won over the sun
I can only give myself in
I suspect my own harsh decision
let the memory become memory
i have decided not to think about it anymore
once you said we are people from different part of the world
how can it possible?
but at that time i believe
as long as i love you
everything is possible
Nothing is impossible

I love you
without a reason
Love you unreasonably
Love you and i can
it's because deep inside my heart
deep inside my heart there's you
My heart still love you
then just let me love you

Oh yeah... just let me...

I can't understand why you didn't speak
I can't enter your heart
as if there's a big wall in front of me
I suspect my harsh actions
is it wrong since the beginning?
i didn't think too much

you once said we are people from two different world
how can it be possible?
but i believe
as long as i love you
everything is possible
nothing is impossible
I love you
without a reason
Love you unreasonably
Love you and i can
it's because deep inside my heart
deep inside my heart there's you
My heart still love you
then just let me love you

Maybe i just dun love you
and i just dun need you
I can't continue,
continue to fool myself
i have to let you go
letting you go but you are still inside of me
I hope he love you more than i do...
Hope he does...
Still your song...

*this lyric might not be the literal meaning of the original lyric. This lyric was just a mere-subjective interpretation of me when i sang this song...

Bee In The Flower Field

2010-03-09T20:00:00.010+08:00

I don't know when it all started. The day they first met each other was quite a while ago. At that time, the bee was a little, naive, sometimes hyper, pompous and self-interested being. The first glance was just a random, normal glance toward the flower. It was located near the place where the bee looked for honey everyday.

As the time went by, the bee become engaged in little conversation to the flower. It started to grow as friendship, though there are some tug-of-war (Flower became angry with the bee), in the end they are still friend. At that time, there was a guardian bee for the flower and the bee also had just been demoted from a guardian to a fighter bee.

The moment come when it's time for all bees to went away and flower to fly with the wind. The bee suddenly feels that it lacks something. It wanted to fly away with the flower which already had its guardian bee. That was unexplainable feelings. But due to some circumstances, the bee was not able to fly along with the flower.

They were separated since then...

During the separation, the bee could look at a memento that was left behind by the flower on request. The bee could also sometimes be reminded of all the acts, expressions and smiles of the flower. Some of the time, during some gathering, the bee could also find some news regarding that beautiful flower, how was she doing, how did the guardian angle treat her and etc., though the bee couldn't find much.

At that time, there was a technology called the express messaging. The bee used to open that software, looking at the profile of the flower, wondering why she's off the line every time. Then, the bee remembered that the flower once asked the bee to send the flower all the nice song that it had during their early days. At that time, it coincides with the released of a new song by a superstar. So the bee just posted the news. Suddenly, the flower turn on the line and asked about it. It was probably just coincidence but who cares. It was a beautiful feelings. and through time the bee would do such a thing just to entice the flower and have a short conversation.

Around two years after the separation...

Then come the end of year breaks and the flower flew with the December wind back to its original location. There was one chat moment that the bee remembered that was when the flower got a stomach pain. At that time, the bee was asking how she's doing and whether she was having fun meeting old friends. The bee found out that the flower spend most of the time helping its parents. That was one memory.

Another memory which was rather regrettable one was during the february wind which supposedly would took the flower back to its guardian angel and transited through the bee's current location.

That was the moment that the bee was anticipating so much. That was the moment that caused all the nervous system to run high. But maybe because of that, the bee missed the moment. The bee forget that the flower needed to be picked up. It was also because there was an assumption that everybody knows how to went out of the "drop-off" place. All day long, the bee was thinking whether it should catch an express transport to fetch the flower. But later after a few consideration, the bee didn't go. The bee is still wondering whether those considerations are correct or not. The bee regretted it even until now. All it can do at that time, was accompanying the flower though a short-message and express messaging.

But before the farewell message was sent, the flower promised to let the bee sees its face through a new technology called camera-viewing (CV).

Since then, the amount of express messaging has been increasing slowly. The bee would asked for the promised that was made as it missed the flower so much. But it was until quite a while when she decided to let the bee sees her. The amount of happiness, excitement and enthusiasm has been so great that time that the bee found himself unable to come out with a topic and just laughing and smiling. It was so good to see the flower again, thought the bee. It lasted only a while as there was no more topic to say. There was a small disappointment on the bee side as it asked itself, "why couldn't he capitalized on that?"

I think it was a few weeks after that, that the bee received a news from the flower that the flower and its guardian bee has separated as in on its own. The streams of feeling comes towards the bee. It was sad at first as the bee was worried that it could hurt the flower so deeply. But later, the feeling of happiness also comes as the bee thought that this could mean its his turned to prove himself. All that feeling just come suddenly that this is the time, this is the time.

The bee started slowly and surely. The bee realized that if it were to win her, it might just take a few months or else, he would never be able as the competition might start building up.

A while after that day, the bee would have to went to a place following the June's wind. Upon arriving at the other place, the bee has to go to several places as a trip till night. At night, the bee would sometimes borrow the express messaging from its friend's house just to know how the flower was doing and release all the feeling of missing the flower.

The end of June's wind the flew the bee back to its original location where the bee first met the flower.

At that time, the schedule was hectic. The bee would need to do so many things, even worked at night. But i think, the bee has talk to the flower almost everyday, maybe there was a miss in some of the day due to the unavailability of the flower or vice versa.

During that period, it was July that the bee first feel the disappointment. It was his birthday, though the bee realized that there's nothing going on between the bee and the flower, it was hoping that there will be just a line of sentence saying, "Happy birthday!" which would have made his day complete. But waiting from early morning till night, there was nothing. But soon, the bee could overcome those dissappoinment.

Days has passed regularly and happily. Till one day, i think it was thrusday night or friday early morning that the flower woke up after experiencing a nightmare. The bee then try to relax the flower and pray for her. Then the moment come at saturday morning, when the bee is still working overnight, the flower said she was going to a mountain. Before the bee could say his worry (as she's just having a nightmare, the bee worried it could be an omen), the flower left. The bee was worried all day and praying for her safety. At night, the bee wanted to ask her how is she doing but she left again after saying she's tired. In the middle of the night, the bee opened the flower profile and found out that she had been going out with a guy, who had made him jealous as the bee feel that the guy had an interest to be her guardian angel. That was a very bad moment. The bee could found himself waking up during the night every hour sharp till morning 10 am.

During that period, the bee also remembered that it asked the flower which type of bee, she wanted her guardian bee to be. Because the types mentioned has completely excluded the bee, the bee said he just wanted to be a manager to help the flower find her guardian bee. But later as the time went by, the expectation started to build up. Courage had also been building up. The bee brace himself and say that he got feeling toward the flower. At that time, the flower just smile and asked, "how can it possible?".

The first time the bee truly confessed was before the early September wind flown. Those went unplanned. The feeling suddenly blown up as it was the day before the wind flown. (probably it was the effect of leaving, as the bee was going to leave to another place with the wind)
The three magic words was said. But everything was treated as a joke by the flower. That was another disappointment. The next day, at the "fly-off" point, the bee type short-message to the flower explaining that the bee was not joking at all. I can still remembered that the bee was crying at that time. Upon arriving at KL, the bee found out that the flower was having a bad day. Its because her economics exam's result turn out to be bad. Still the bee forget all the hard feelings and try to comfort her though it was not successful.

Following the wind, the bee arrived at another place again. It spend its time chatting with the flower after arriving, it was till 5 am in the morning according to the flower's time. Then, a few days afterwards was a completely busy days for the bee. Only one time during that busy day period did the bee chatted with the flower. It was quite short but the bee feels good as it can release all its missing.

A few disappointments did occured during the period, beside those disappointments, every other day was a happy and beautiful day. The bee can still remembered the day when the flower was having a cut, it turns out to be bad for her as most of her friend are laughing at her new cut. She came home not in good mood and suddenly sent to the bee two picture of her wearing a white shirt, she did looks like an angel to the bee. Then she sent another picture with her new cut. I don't know why but whenever the bee look at her picture, the bee just thought it is beautiful, no matter what. So the bee just told her what it saw and she felt so happy. That day was a happy day as the bee feels honored to be the guy that she asked opinion to. The bee also feels very happy to have those two angelic picture which the bee still kept.

Time went by, and suddenly the flower become a little bit cold compared to a few months before. It was until the bee sent her a birthday present that her attitude suddenly changed toward more caring. But it only lasted for a week or probably a little bit more. Everything went on unchanged for the next few months. During that period, the bee kept asking himself whether he should call her or not. The bee got her phone number but the bee was too shy to call. The bee also afraid that it would end up not talking anything like the first "camera-viewing" session. One time finally the bee brace up himself to do a simple call but it was not picked up. The second time which was a few days later, was picked up but the conversation end quite short. I really felt the bee is a stupid coward bitch.

Suddenly i remembered the moment when the bee was chatting with the flower and the flower said she is going to be right back. The bee was waiting for four hours then the bee started to think that the flower had forget him. Then the bee ask her. It was clearly as the bee has guessed. But to the disappointment of the bee, she was doing an "internet-call" with another bee who wanted to be her guardian angel. That was another disappointment.

Days went by and towards the end of December, the bee decided to buy the flower a gift as the bee had just received a windfall and thought that it might be appropriate to share it with someone that it likes. It was not an expensive gift, it was a mediocre gift from a share of the windfall. The bee did received it but she was not too happy as the bee can tell from the way she's expressing it. The bee had been having a bad feeling a few days before that day. Feels like the flower has been hiding much more thing than before. The concerns was built up but the bee always prepared for the worst. The worst case scenario at that time was that the flower was going out on a date with the guy that was talking with her on the "internet-calling" before.

The actual turns out even worse and the bee found out from a friend who found out accidentally from another friend. It was 28th December that the bee found out the truth.

It was hurting, yes it hurt so much that the bee can feel as if his heart was sliced by a knife slowly and deeply. The bee didn't know how many tears has been dropped during the month of January. Probably it can make a lake, let alone a river. The day 3rd January was the last day that the bee thought it would think of the flower, the last song that it will sing for her.

Through the month, the bee try various of way just to keep its mind occupied. Jogging, bbq-ing, swimming, movies-ing, out-ing, basketballing, studying, singing, all sorts of activities was done. but it was still unable to forget her. but everything went to waste as the bee still love her so much thought they haven't talked for a month ( some random conversation happened during the month for twice or thrice probably).

Now, it is March. The time when the bee has clear out all his feelings. The month when the flower has said "clearly" that she didn't ever considered the bee as a guardian, it was just an ordinary friend. The bee started to think how it thought the flower's feeling was before. At first day of the chase, the bee thought the flower didn't like her. But as the time went by, the feeling started to build up. Then at some point in time, it decreased significantly until her birthday. It started to grow a bit then declining or rather stable then started to dropped since November and decline even further towards December. Sudden shocks did happen at the end of November or December where the bee thought the flower like him. But later, everything was clear. There was never a grow before, never.

9 March 2010. This date is the end of the pursue, the end of the hope, the end of the story. This short story was written in 2 and half hour continuously. Some omissions, errors, duplications might exist. This is the first draft and the final draft of the story of the bee in the flower field. I closed the book on January because i didn't know how i am going to end it. But now i can stand out of this dark valley which i jumped into thinking that i could fly. I still love you, at least now, but finally, i have the heart to let you go.

Probably the song that i would put as the ending chorus is from Ni De ge (your song) David tao.

This song almost fully depicted how this story start till its end.

Lyric meaning:
like you comforting silence
Smile has won over the sun
I can only give myself in
I suspect my own harsh decision
let the memory become memory
i have decided not to think about it anymore
once you said we are people from different part of the world
how can it possible?
but at that time i believe
as long as i love you
everything is possible
Nothing is impossible

I love you
without a reason
Love you unreasonably
Love you and i can
it's because deep inside my heart
deep inside my heart there's you
My heart still love you
then just let me love you

Oh yeah... just let me...

I can't understand why you didn't speak
I can't enter your heart
as if there's a big wall in front of me
I suspect my harsh actions
is it wrong since the beginning?
i didn't think too much

you once said we are people from two different world
how can it be possible?
but i believe
as long as i love you
everything is possible
nothing is impossible
I love you
without a reason
Love you unreasonably
Love you and i can
it's because deep inside my heart
deep inside my heart there's you
My heart still love you
then just let me love you

Maybe i just dun love you
and i just dun need you
I can't continue,
continue to fool myself
i have to let you go
letting you go but you are still inside of me
I hope he love you more than i do...
Hope he does...
Still your song...

Note : meaning are my own direct translation as what i was thinking when i sang the song. It might not be the same as the literal meaning.

I started the story with Wilber Phan's Zhao Mi, continue with Nothing's Gonna Change my love for you by Khalil fong, Jian dan ai - Jay Chow, Ai hen jian dan - David tao, Ni bu zai - Wang Lee Hom, An Jing - Jay Chow and finally it ended with Ni De Ge by David tao.

~ The End ~

Transforming The City of Lion Into Vibrant City

2010-01-23T23:41:00.002+08:00

The city of lion is the termed that i used as another name of Singapore. Etymologically, the word "Singapore" come from two separate Bahasa, which is Singa (Lion) and Pura (temple or locality). Singapore is a small tiny country located in south east Asia region. Though its size, this country has certainly marked itself across the history of the world given its GDP and its role in ASEAN, proponent of free trade in South East Asia, also being the first country to host the first F1 night race and the host of 2010 youth Olympic game.

As it grow, Singapore has surely put itself in a strategic area. The development of Singapore starts with Economics, then went to finance and now it is becoming the entertainment city. The new entertainment Hub which include Integrated resort of Casino, Universal Studio, Hotel, and etc will transformed Singapore to become a vibrant city.

In the future, we will see that Singapore will be comparable to Taipei of Taiwan, Seoul of south korea, and Macau in terms of its vibrant. I think we will witnessed a never-sleeping city. 24 hours, the street will be filled with flock of people going in and out the hubs. Economically, it will also increase the National GDP.

羅志祥 - 老實講 Lyric + English Translation

2010-01-19T21:01:00.003+08:00

愛你卻從不講　幸福的致命傷
Love you but never confessed, Happiness become fatal injury
從此我只能夠在部落格上
Since then i can only blog
路過你快樂悲傷
Passing through your happiness and sadness

＊你說你想飛翔　所以我不阻擋
You said you would like to fly, so i do not stop
　希望你能夠在他的肩膀上
Hope you can on his shoulder
　找到那愛的信仰
Find that faith in love

　我承認有些話當時沒老實講
I admit that some of my words were not honest
　那麼壞人就讓我來當
then just let bad guy, evil guy be my role
　我了解有些話現在沒老實講
I understand some words were not honest
　明天我將失去了膽量
Tomorrow i will lose the courage
　當你成為別人的新娘＊
When you have become someone else's bride

Repeat＊

我承認有些話當時若老實講
I admitted that some words said, if honest
現在就不會兩敗俱傷
Now we would not be losing each other
其實愛你的心早已瀕臨瘋狂
Because this heart that love you has long been so crazy
連我自己也無法抵抗
Even i can resist it anymore
再也還原不了的時光
Those time can not be turned back any more

找不到人说心里的寂寞
unable to find what they said as the loneliness in one's heart
找不到人懂怕黑的折zhe磨muo
Unable to find what they said torment of being afraid of the dark
找不到命中注定在一起的那个人
unable to find the one that were destined to be together with
很多人都像我一个人过生活
Many people are like me, living this life alone

爱只有简单笔画
Love only has a simple strokes
却比想像复fu杂zha 恨安定ding爱变化
Yet it's more complicated than thought, steadily love changes
我爱过几个人也被爱过几遍
I'd loved some people, been loved by some people
却还是没能将幸福留下
but still unable to let happiness stay
爱是不可数的吗
Love, can't it be counted?
为何我还相信它不是独行侠xia
Why i still believe, it is not a sole player
我在等一个人在等我的永恒
i am still waiting for somebody, waiting for the love of my life
告诉我爱不单行别害怕
Tell me, love is not a one-way, don't be afraid

用不完身边泛滥的自由
Unable to ever utilize the freedom around
开始怕孤单是一种诅zhu咒zou
At the beginning, afraid to loneliness - is a kind of curse
羡慕我能飞的人为何在天黑以后
Envy people who can fly , why after being above dark sky
还是宁愿回到爱情那个枷锁
still willing to return to chain of love

爱只有简单笔画
Love only has a simple strokes
却比想像复fu杂zha 恨安定ding爱变化
Yet it's more complicated than thought, steadily love changes
我爱过几个人也被爱过几遍
I'd loved some people, been loved by some people
却还是没能将幸福留下

爱是不可数的吗
Love, can't it be counted?
为何我还相信它不是独行侠xia
Why i still believe, it is not a sole player
我在等一个人在等我的永恒
i am still waiting for somebody, waiting for the love of my life(eternity)
告诉我爱不单行别害怕
Tell me, love is not a one-way, don't be afraid

我在等一个人在等我的永恒
告诉我爱不单行相信它
Tell me love is not a one-way, believe in love....

An Jing - Silence

2010-01-09T09:58:00.001+08:00

I'm only left with a piano to accompany me all day
Sleepin on a grand piano
Silently worning out
I think you've shown it prefectly clear
I understand and I know that you're willing to
You said that you will be sad
But I don't believe it
Accompanying me and holding my hand like before
I hope that he really love you more than I do
So I will forced myself to leave you
You want me to say it, it's hard for me
I don't even want us to separate
Why do I still replace my sadness with a smile?
I really don't have that talent
Being with you and then accept him
You don't have to worry too much
I can manage on my own
You've gone so far away
And I will slowly walk away
Why do I still hold you when I should be leaving?
I really don't have that skill
To remain silent so soon
I will learn how to give you up
It's because I still love you so much

The End of History, probably

2009-12-27T12:14:00.000+08:00

When we heard about the end of history, most of us (social sciencist) might remember the creator of such word, Francis Fukuyama. In the Newsweek magazine special edition 2010, he wrote an article titled "The history is still over". This article explain his standpoint on the end of history as his "end of history" argument has come under questions during the recent economies downturn.

The end of history basically told about Capitalism is the winner of all idealist conceptual practices. As the recent economic crises has sparked fear that the capitalism practises will be abandoned by most countries. But according to Mr. Fukuyama on his article is that capitalism is still the dominant practices as the world largest emerging markets, China, india, Brazil still believe in the system as they used to profited from the system. In the other hand, countries such as Iran and Venezuela which is against the system, was having problems to grow themselves due to the drop in the oil prices during the downturn.

In US, while public regulators demanded a greater regulation on the free market system, large corporations are hiring lobbyists. The economy downturn itself, though has costed many people out of jobs was not large n long enough to let the changes to happen. Banks and investments company has started to use back their previous practices worldwide.

In the end, it's still capitalism.

"A sad reality of human affairs is that people will not change a deeply entrenched attitudes, behaviours or habits unless under dire circumstances" - Francis Fukuyama - Newsweek sp.ed. 2010

Holidays Pictures

2009-12-18T18:35:00.006+08:00

These pictures below are taken during my 4 months (jun-sept 2009) Holiday. These pictures are snapped using my Nokia N81 8GB 2megapixel camera which as you can see, resulted in a mediocre quality picture.

The first few pictures are pictures taken during my trip to Solo with my bros. Then, it continue with the picture of me going to Hongkong alone to meet my brother and my-to-be sister in law at Macau. I also put some pictures that was taken when i back at the city of Lion.

This Picture is taken from the solo palace. This vase was a gift from the China Empire to the Solo kingdom at that time. Now, according to the guide, this vase valued at 1billion rupiah each. I am not sure whether we were bluffed or not... :)

Another picture from solo palace, featuring an ancient tree which is very old and said to contain mystical power.

This is the Candi Prambanan. Candi Prambanan was damaged by the Yogyakarta Earthquake and now with the help of Government and local people, the restoration of the candi is taking place.

The next picture belong to Candi Borobudur which is the UNESCO's world heritage site.

A "Stupa" from candi borobudur which contain the statue of a man looks like the statue of Buddha Gotama. According to the myth, those who can hold the hand of the statue inside the stupa and make a wish, will have his/her wish granted

The Bodhi tree. Bodhi tree is a tree under which Siddartha attain allignment and entered the Buddha-hood.

On the road to tawamangu (a waterfall site), Danau sarangan, and a mount ( i kind of forgot the name)

Danau Sarangan / Sarangan Lake

Up at the mount, we found a garden of flower.

a scenery which i though worth documented

This is pantai Baron

That's some of the pictures that were taken during my trip to SOLO.

After Solo, i spent most of my time working with my brother in his newly set up company and sometimes help my parents back at my hometown.

Before i returned back to the city of lion, i was required to go to macau to meet my brother who were having his pre-wedding photoshootout. They asked me to join them because they need me to do something.

As my tickets was booked later, i couldn't get on the same flight as them. So i have to go on my own to Hongkong then took a ferry to Macau.

I didn't know much cantonese. This is my first time going overseas (except to SG) alone and my second time to HK.I think the first time i went to HK is during my primary school. It was a long time ago.

Arriving at the airport at night, i decided to spent the night at the airport cause it's not worthed it to find a hotel at 1 am in the morning while i need to went to macau at 8 am.

Before sleeping, i went online to chat with my family and somebody i care for then, i also find the route to macau.

The next morning, i woke up and i went to clean myself at the toilet. Then i bought i express train ticket to Hongkong, which is the lasted stopped after Kowloon.

Upon arriving, i was looking at a map which i have prepared earlier on. But the map was not helping me. I went out, and tried to find my way as the ferry terminal is just located a few blocks from the train station. I used my intuition and guess my way through the terminal. Finally, i was so happy as i found the terminal.
Here are some of the picture i took in HK.

This picture was taken when i am on train from Airport to Hongkong.

Below is the picture of the ferry terminal to macau.

Arriving at macau, i still need to figure out my way to the hotel where i can meet up with my brother.
I know the hotel is located near a casino, so i asked the person at the bus stop which bus to take. But the bus there is different from singapore. It's a van. I didn't know how to stop the bus. As we go on the bus, i looked around to spot the casino. When i spotted the casino, i didn't know how to call the bus to stop. But with a bit of luck, somebody is flagging the bus. The bus stopped and i went out.After going out, i have difficulties in finding the hotel. I asked a guy there but he didn't know (later, i found out that the people there didn't know the english name of hotels, they just know the mandarin name). So i followed my intuition and guess my way through it again. Luckily, i found out the hotel at my first turn.

I waited here for my brother to arrive.

Below is the picture of Macau tower taken from a taxi.

This picture below is taken from Marina Square during the Singapore F1 Night race week in Singapore.

Some random picture of what i termed as "tissue paper arts" LOL

This is the picture of Coco Lee promoting her new album at Bugis Junction Singapore. I didn't go there to watch her. I was just happened to walk pass after offering a prayer at the temple nearby.

Which is first Egg or Chicken?

2009-12-15T18:26:00.002+08:00

This old yet simple question has made most people baffled and it remains, unanswered. Theologians, Scientists, Philosophers and ordinary men have all tried to argued their way acrossed, though none provided a satisfied arguments. I, myself, came up with the idea to solve this question though in my humbleness i realized that my solution might still subject to various critiques. I will try to explain my answer for this question, which physchologist nowadays said that only a bunch of stupid people will bother to argue, in the next following paragraph. Afterwards, i will further discussed another mathematical function that was created not by mathematician (at least that's what i thought).

In the brink of which is first egg or chicken, one might said, "It is chicken!". then other might ask, "chicken come from where?". the answer is obviously egg. Hence, it didn't provide an answer to the main question. Here is the visual presentation of the answer :

Chicken --> Egg --> Chicken --> Egg --> Chicken --> Egg --> and so on and so forth
--> (red-come from)

This answer will just move around and around till the end of time. So does this means that the questions is unanswerable?

I personally will put in more variable factors inside this equation problems to find out the most possible answer logically. The critical factors to be added in is process and environment.

1. Process
How do the egg hatch? They needs the heat from hen for 21 days for them to hatch into chicks.
Hence, The solution is Egg can not hatch without chicken. This also made that egg can not come before chicken.

2. Environment
Can a chick or egg survive in "normal" environment ( hot in the day and cold in the night)? As we all know, chicks need their mother to survive. without their mother, it is almost impossible for a chick to survive in the nature.

These two interdependence of eggs to chicken made it logical for me that chicken must be the first entity that come to this earth. As an addition, we all know that all advance entity in this world developed from a cell. This cell united with other to form a more and more advance entity for billions of years. These cells will form an animal, not an egg. Egg is the process by which an animal reproduce themselves (like cells when they fragmented into two).

Hence, in conclusion, it is impossible for egg to come first before chicken given the two variables, process and environment, added into the main problems. Further, from the science perspective, to form an egg, we need chicken; but chicken can be the result of the evolution of a more primitive beings which was at the first time a single cell.
......

As said before, i will also like to discussed about some funny mathematical equation which i first read about 5 years ago. I have just read it again recently and i think, the creator do not understand basic mathematics. by the way, I know they created it for fun and it is some kind of creativity but here i just want to outline some mistakes in their assumptions.

First, i need to say is that this is a purely personal view and very subjective in nature. I am not a mathematician, i am just a ordinary man who put what i thought into blog post.
First of all, i will show you the maths :

Equation 1 : Study = No Fail (1)
Equation 2 : No Study = Fail (2)

Sum up the two equation :

Study + no Study = No fail + fail
Study (1+no) = Fail (1 + no)
------------------------------- Eliminate (1+no)
Study = Fail.

The main problems with this mathematical analysis is that they didn't separate which are variable and which are not variable. "study" and "Fail" are the variables whilst "No" in the "no study" and "no fail" is NOT. No essentially is a form of word-usage expression of a mathematical terms called negate, negative, or opposite. So the no in the equation actually means "-"(red-minus) in the mathematical form.
here is the presentation of the problem above :

Study = - Fail ....(1)
- study = Fail .....(2)

Sum up the two equation :
Study + (-study) = (-fail) + fail
the result is zero in left and right side.

so the conclusion above that study = fail is not valid because they treated "no" as variable while it is actually means "negate, negative, or minus".

Anyway, this is just for fun too. Nothing much, just an idle head that wants to keep thinking. My apologize if you think this post is totally useless. LOL...

Koreanization

2009-11-15T21:37:00.002+08:00

I have just finished watching 2012 movie today with my bros. Overall, the movie line was good but to me, there's nothing much of a surprise. Everything that has been told on the story, i have read it before or i have at least knew it. There's no "odd" story or outcome that i was expecting. Still, It's worth watch for me.

After watching the movie, i go with my bros to have a dinner at a nearby food center. I was having a korean food and i suddenly remember of a topic about koreanization. At first, i didn't pay too much attention when my lecture mentioned it on class. During my dinner today, this topic suddenly stroke my head. "Come to think about it, it's true!", i said to myself.

Korean culture has been permeating into most of Asian countries culture throught the so called "TV Media". Korean drama, especially, and korean movie has give a significant impact which has somehow alter the course of asian culture. If you live in Asia, you could notice that your friends (esp girls who are more into the korean's drama) habits. They have been increasingly "lured" into having korean food for their meals. The kimchi, bulgogi and many others thing has been more of a habitual food or "fancy" food for many asian people.

Not only korean food, Korean fashion has also become a "fashion" in most asian countries. The way people are getting dress, the way they do make up, and etc. I couldn't tell much about it, but you can look at it yourself. It's noticeable. Just look at your friends, those who lives near you, type of restaurants that's opening, type of boutique that's opening in malls and you will see.

1. Kalo dia bilang:”Aku gak mau ngerusak hubungan kita”

~Artinya:”Aku gak tertarik buat berhubungan lebih dari sekadar temen dengan kamu!”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia gak mau nyakitin perasaan agan, karena dia ga mencintai agan.

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: Bantai aja! Namanya cinta emang gak bisa dipaksa gan. (pemaksaan nih)

2. Kalo dia bilang:”Aduh, aku lagi sibuk nih!”

~Artinya:”Aku lagi gak mau ngabisin waktu bareng kamu! Meski hanya sekadar ngobrol sebentar doang.”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Alasan yg paling “enak” didenger kuping sih,dia lagi bad mood. Alasan lain, mungkin ada sesuatu bikin dia ilfeel sama agan.

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: Just go far away from her. Kasih dia waktu buat “mengatasi” dirinya, sambil agan juga merenung sejenak: “Gw udah bikin salah apa ya?”

3. Kalo dia bilang: “Kamu beneran pengen ngajak aku nonton/dinner di situ?”

~Artinya: “Aduh, aku males nih”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia lagi gak mau pergi ke tempat itu. Tapi dia bingung gimana cara molaknya.

~Apa yg harus agan lakukan: Bilang, “Iya sih. Cuma kalo kamu gak mau, ya gak apa-apa. Kita pergi ke tempat lain aja gimana? Kamu yg tentuin deh!” (sebelumnya cek isi dompet agan)

4. Kalo dia bilang : “Kamu lagi deket sama siapa sekarang?”

~Artinya: “Hmm, ada gak tempat kosong di hati kamu yg bisa aku isi?”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia mau mastiin kalo usahanya buat deket sama agan gak bakal sia-sia.

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: jawab dengan jujur. Jangan kasi jawaban yg ngegantung (kek jemuran) dan jangan lupa kasi dia harapan kalo agan emang gak suka dia.(pinter-pinter agan aja!)

5. Kalo dia bilang:”Sebenarnya hubungan kita mau dibawa kemana sih?”

~Artinya:”Aku pengen hubungan kita serius”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia pengen jadi satu-satunya cewek yg agan cintai. Dia pengen punya tempat superspesial dalam hati agan! (udah siap belom, agan harus banyak berkorban nih!)

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: Kalo agan emang ngerasain hal yg sama dengan dia, why not nyoba serius. Tapi kalo gak, mending terus terang deh

6. Kalo dia bilang: “Kayaknya kamu tuh banyak tentang aku ya?”

~Artinya: “Aku mulai gak nyaman nih deket-deket kamu. Berasa kayak ditelanjangin!”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Gan, tiap orang tuh pasti punya kekurangan. Dan gak semua orang suka kekurangannya diketahui orang lain. Gitu juga dia. Sementara dia ngerasa agan udah terlalu banyak tau. Makanya dia jadi cemas!

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: Saat agan ngobrol sama dia. Jangan tunjukkan kalo agan tau banyak tentang dia (meski kenyataan nya iya). Sekali-sekali bikin pertanyaan bodoh yg mengindikasikan bahwa agan gak tau apa-apa tentang dia dan lagi berusaha nyari tau itu bakal bikin dia seneng.

7. Kalo dia bilang: “Rasanya setiap ketemuan kita begini-begini aja deh”

~Artinya: “Aku mulai bosen kalo lagi bareng kamu”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia pengen agan bikin sebuah surprise buat dia. Atau, apalah! Pokoknya yg bisa bikin hatinya bergetar dan perasaannya kembali bergelora.

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: Siapin sebuah acara seru buat berdua. Atau sekali-kali katakan sebuah kalimat yg jarang agan katakan, tapi agan tau dia bakal suka banget kalo agan mengatakannya.

8. Kalo dia bilang: “Eh, ada cowok yg sering nelpon aku nih”

~Artinya: “Kalo ada cowok lain yg ngedeketin aku, kamu jealous gak?”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia pengen tau seberapa dalem perasaan agan ke dia.

~Apa yg harus agan lakukan: Pasang tampang cool, terus bilang, “Oh ya? Keren mana tuh cowok sama aku?”. Dijamin ampuh dan manjur,dia bakal sekaligus penasaran, gan!

9. Kalo dia bilang: “Aku gak suka cowok yg anak mami”

~Artinya: “Aku gak mau kamu jadi anak mami!”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia gak mau “saingan” sama nyokap agan! Makanya dia pengen agan bisa nempatin diri agan secara proporsional dengan nyokap agan.

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: Cuma satu, tunjukkin kalo agan seorang cowok yg gentleman! Cowok yg deket dan bisa menghargai keluarga (terutama nyokap), tapi gak manja. Damn!

10. Kalo dia bilang: “Aku gak nyangka kita bisa jadi temen yg kompak.”

~Artinya: “Aku gak yakin kalo kamu juga bisa jadi pacar yg asik”

~Kenapa dia bilang begitu: Dia ngerasa nyaman banget temenan dengan agan. Tapi dia gak punya hasrat buat berhubungan lebih dari itu.

~Apa yg musti agan lakukan: ini sebenarnya udah kata mati dari seorang cewek buat bilang “Hey, lo jangan coba-coba ya berusaha macarin gue!”. Jadi gak usah ngarep lebih deh

Funny Jokes : Things Your Wife Don't Use

2009-11-11T22:31:00.001+08:00

The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making Love
to a very attractive young woman. And was somewhat upset.

"You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried. "How dare you do this to me --
faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a
divorce!

And the husband replied "Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell
you what happened."

"Fine, go ahead," she sobbed, "but they'll be the last words you'll say to
me!"

And the husband began -- "Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and
this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and
defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car. I noticed that
she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't
eaten for three days! So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up
the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because
you're afraid you'll put on weight. The poor thing devoured them in
moments.

Since she needed a good clean up I suggested a shower, and while she was
doing that I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw them
away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have
had for a few years, but don't use because you say they are too tight. I also
gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't use
because I don't have good taste. I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for
Christmas that you don't use just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots
you bought at the expensive boutique and don't use because someone at work has
a pair the same."

The husband took a quick breath and continued - "She was so grateful for my
understanding and help and as I walked her to the door she turned to me with
tears in her eyes and said, Please ... do you have anything else that your wife
doesn't use?"

Your Happiness

2009-11-07T16:30:00.002+08:00

Thinking back on your happiness, i realized that i never succeeded in making you happy. When you are sad that time, i tried to make you happy for such a long time. But you were still not in a good mood. Suddenly at night i u told me that, there's another guy... The RMIT guy. After talking to him, it's like your mood suddenly change. I felt so useless at that time.

Still remembers a few times you are not in good mood, i tried to make you happy. When i asked you are you better, you would say that you are still not in good mood. The only time that i remember i can alleviate your mood is when i sent you a link to a video of a kid being rejected by a girl pianist.

I felt i am so useless. I can even make you happy. Yesterday, i talked to you after you coming back from your lunch. You didn't reply me. it has been like that recently. you would just reply "lol" or "haha". Yesterday when i asked you, is it so boring to chat with me? you said you are memorizing a set of cookies names. didn't that means you are bored chatting with me? you told me your cookies job start on 15nov.

I feel so ignored recently. sometimes during this last few months, one or two days you would chat "normally" with me. for the rest of the time, you would only reply me with a "lol" and that's all i get most of the time.

Sing A Song Because I am Thinking of You

2009-11-04T17:59:00.002+08:00

Walking home through the rain in the sunny day
Feels so sick and tired
Still i didn't forget to say
Baby, I miss you so....

Though you become so cold recently

Still i want to say to you truly
That i love you very much..

You have been so busy lately

Predicting The Future

2009-11-04T16:03:00.003+08:00

The world has move in such a rapid development that if you are living in the 19th or 20th Century, you just couldn't imagine that the human civilization would be like what we are having today. Slavery and discrimination which were quiet common practices in the early days has been reduced to such a small rate all around the world except some African countries. In return, we have now the term "All Human are equal", "Women emancipation", and so on and so forth.

Not only cultural factors that have shifted a lot. The technology has been moving in such a fantastic rate that it make us difficult to predict the future. Those who are optimistic, tend to predict it happen in such a wonderful fashion in relatively short time in opposite to those who are less optimistic or, let say, pessimistic.

Since the industrial revolution happened in Europe at 1817, technology has been the key factors of civil development. After that, we have what we called, TV, computer, handphone, train, bullet train, plane, jet, and automobile. It was us, human, who created those technology in the first place. This is what i termed as technology lives through human, but as the we move on through the course of civilization, we found ourselves needing technology more than technology need us. This is what i called, Human lives through technology. If you didn't believe me, try to stop using every technology in your house, from electricity, lamp, handphone, computer, internet; see how long you can survive before you actually decide to suicide!

So now, where are we going then?
I personally feels the future of technology belongs to BIOLOGY or what we termed as Biotechnology. I didn't said it on whimsical basis but rather on the signs that this field has shown in recent years. Remember the recent Biology Nobel Prize winner. They have succeeded in locating which enzyme that plays an important part during the separation of cells. This finding will enable scientist to prolonged the life of a cell and surely the life of human.

Arrogantly, i will said that these is just a preliminary development. Soon, maybe in 5-10 years, we will come up with how to grow an arm, how to detect a disease before it attack, how to map genius based on DNA and maybe even we could integrated the technology with DNA.

However, it such progress will faced many ethical issues such as when we can located those genius in some areas, will it be at the expensed of the some that are not "located" by the DNA Mapping?

Nevertheless, we will let the time answer that questions. All i know is that if biotechnology will extent the lifespan of human, no more disable person, and so on. THIS AGE OF FUTURE WILL BE CALLED THE GENOMICS AGE!

Note : Nanotechnology, Information technology, and Biotechnology will play a significant part in the future.

Imprisonement, did it helps?

2009-10-14T17:12:00.002+08:00

Prison has been a tradition since the ancient ages to punish those people who are doing harmful actions towards others like manslaughter, con, and etc. But does this ancient institution still helps to offer a solution for those "criminals". Many of those who came out of prison, went back to it a few weeks after their release.

Once they are released, they have problems to fit in to our society. The fit in problems occurs because they didn't get the chance to proof themselves in our society. Almost no company in this world want to hire a ex-prison member. This might because there's a stereotype on ex-prisoners that they are no good people. Maybe the stereotype is true in some cases. You can imagined having living in a place where all your friends are criminals. The environmental aspects is forcing them to develop this criminal personality when they are in the prison. When they are out, they need to adjust to our society but personality things is not that easy to adapt. They need time to adjust but they also need money to survive. the need for money is usually the main forces that made them decide to do the wrong thing and end up back to the prison again.

They find it hard to fit in also because they didn't have the required skills or educations to survive in our society. The competitiveness in the labour market demand every labor to have certain certification even just to do a menial jobs.
....

So now the problems lies in the goverment of each country. Do they want to help criminals to mend their ways or do they just want to fill up their prison with the same person. Looking for the economy perspective, Government will be better in the long run if they adopt a new system that could help ex-criminals fit in the society so they didn't end up in the prison again. In this sense, we can look at the cost to accomodate this prisoners, like food, water, and electricity. The cost will be lower in the long run if this criminal can mend their way and fit in the society as no repetitive cost incurred per person. If they were to enter the prison again, the cost will be times the number of time they enter. It's also great for the macroeconomy if the ex-criminals can fit in and contribute to the economy as well as the society.

Developing a new system for criminals isn't an easy case. Will the system really works? do all criminal need to go to the new system or is it better that some are put in the traditional prison?
The new system that i think is a system that not only give the criminals education and skills but more to it like personality, emotional intelligence, relationship skills, leadership, and more practical things. If possible the criminal might be given chance to do internship with some company.

Thinking about you for a second, it penetrated my heart

I Don't Want To Know
How hurt can it be to lose you
I am here because of you
even if the whole world said i'm wrong...wrong...wrong...
no no no....
I Don't Want To Know
i won't open my arms for anybody else anymore
because you left me with a beautiful memories
because you give me with an everlasting dreams

I Don't Need To Know
When you are feeling sad or lonely
Just close your eyes
and i will be by ur side...
we never really separated
no need anyone to tell me...

The wall in my heart
Following me running....
The same sky

I give all my wishes
for your happiness
and your heart-melting smile....

yeah, it can be tiring, it can be hurtful...
but my heart fear regretting more....
i don't need perfect love story

The sky with rain
It becomes more gray
You say you don't know why at this time you're in one's hand
I am committed to the sun
Gray's more silly
Even if this time made mistake, it's because afraid of making

Together called "dream"
Separate called "Pain"
isn't it to said that unfinised dream is the most painful thing
If you step back
I can bear
In the final speak
Where is the love ?

Can give me a song's time ?
Hold closely then the embrace becomes forever
In my mind
No need too many insomnia
If you want to forget, then I can adapt

Can give me a song's time ?
To hear the story until the last to say good-bye
You take my tears
Let it stay in the rain
If you still doubt about my courage, it was a despicable

The sky was wet
It becomes more gray
You say you don't know why at this time you're in one's hand
I am committed to the sun
Gray's more silly
Even if this time made mistake, it's because afraid of making

Together called "dream"
Separate called "Pain"
isn't it to said that unfinished dream is the most painful thing
If you step back

You take my tears

If you still doubt about my courage, it was a despicable

You said that at this time I shouldn't say that I Love You
How to prove that I didn't lie
Please tell me
Time out doesn't mean that I give up
I only have memories of that day

Can give me a song's time ?
Hold closely then the embrace becomes forever
In my mind
No need too many insomnia
If you want to forget, then I can adapt

Can give me a song's time ?
Oh..To hear the story until the last to say good-bye
You take my tears
Let it stay in the rain
Oh..If you still doubt about my courage, it was a despicable

Rap:
You said I shouldn't
At this time say that I Love You
How to prove that I didn't lie
Time out doesn't mean that I give up

You said that I shouldn't
At this time say that I Love You
How to prove that I didn't lie
I only have memories of that day

Looking For A Blossom in a Flower Fields

2009-06-02T00:38:00.004+08:00

alt title: "Mistake in The Flower Fields"

Looking at the vast flower fields,
filled with bees looking for shields
i am the bee for some
looking for a blossom

....
years have this small seeds growth in my field
maybe even before the old flower decay
longed for it, though i yield
caused it lies on the ethical grey

years ago, just before the old flower withering
i have make a "mark" to the flower
hope that after field reopening
she can give me a chance to show her

though i never wish for the reopening
cause all bees hope the flower could find its bee
though i am not sure the mark is worth remembering
but i just want to show the sincerity i could be

Life goes on like this and that
flower wither and decay away
bee longed for this and that
life is turning it away

maybe too many mistakes in the flower field
maybe it's too soon for the bud to know
though for now, i never intend to show
but the bud might have made a shield

though bee think that the flower field has banned him
closed the welcoming door
he is still appreciating a dime
that was given before

never will the bees killed the bud in his mind
always does he hope for the bud to find its bee
though it is not mine
regretful i won't be

a bee in the field become an annoy-er
but all he want is just letting the bud,
become a flower

From Teror to steeplejacks, The world worsening....

2009-05-27T11:04:00.003+08:00

We have known that in recent years, since the 2001 WTC incident or the decision that America made to invade Afghanistan, there has been an increasing rate of terrorist activities in all region of the world; particularly middle east and some Asian Countries. From the Bali bombing to Mumbay terrorist attacked, we have witnessed so many "events" that cost the physical life as well as pshycological life of victims. Maybe all of us, moderate people (not fundamentalist or extremist), condemned the action.

As the rise of terrorist Activitiest in the eastern countries as a result of "Holy war" against what the extremist muslim called "Kafir" American, there is also another form of "Holy war"; although not a new type of activities; but due to more exposure and their increasing rate of activities give them a wider attention.

Steeplejacks is the actions or activities done by instituions, usually religious, to control strategic organization; business, govermental or not-for-profit; to spread their views and radically tranform the institutions accordingly.

Organization is created as a means to achived a common goals by directing the efforts of individuals. Organization mission and goals is set and members should try to bring their best to achieve this goals. Steeplejacks, on the other hand, join the organization, attain strategic position and transform the original mission accordingly to suit their views. Some Churches in US has been doing this sort of activities by nurturing small children or what most people would said "brainwashing" them so that when they grown up, they will be willing to sacrifice all their life to church.

Now these sort of activities has penerated the ways of spreading religion on other countries especially Asian countries. They try to used what their "enemies" (what they called the terrorist) tactics to target children. They said in a documentary film, Jesus Camp, that they need to keep up the pace with their enemies in spreading religion. They need to teach kids how to fight for their God, to give their life for their Gods.

If you are rather scepticall on this "Steeplejacks", you search google or watch the documentary film on youtube ," Jesus Camp".

Personally, i think these kids, both those who are terrorist or steeplejacks, fought not for their God but for the institutions leader's "Views". God, if you believe in, do not created us to fight against each others. Religion is created as a means of order, to spread the word of Gods. In the past, People used to spread the words of gods by means of war but now the world is different. Freedom of speech is given in most country.

"All that we have imagined we knew about nature is merely what we ourselves have put into nature.... It is the same for everything such as religion, politics, economics and others..."

Finished 2009 University of London Zone B Examination!

2009-05-22T15:55:00.003+08:00

Friday, 22 May 2009

Yesterday i have just finished my last University of London exam for Bsc. in Business Examination. I studied in Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) which offers various of programme from many universities around the world like University of buffalo, RMIT, University of London - LSE, and University of London- Goldsmith.

I tooked 4 subject for my Year 2 Bsc. programme; Principles of Accounting, Principles of Marketing, Introduction to Business and Management, and Managerial Economics.

After entering the first quater of the year, i felt that the most difficult subject is Introduction to Business and Management. Personnally, i know that i am not good on qualitative subject or Essay required subject. Besides having problems with my English, i just couldn't able to come out with good ideas during "exam". i also have some difficulty in memorising people's name. But i believed that i should overcome my weaknesses and this is the main purpose of studying so i tooked this degree and not others such as Bsc. in Economics and finance or Bsc. Mathematics and Economics.

After this years, i feel that i have improved alot in terms of my ability to memorise people's name and putting theories into practice. I personnally think that my IBM (introduction to business and management) exam will be alright. On the other hand, i feel a bit worried for principles of marketing subject because at the day, i am too weak, low in confidence and was not able to concentrate much. I hope i can get a decent marks from principles of marketing examination.

two other subject is a quantitative subject. I think i am able to achived a better marks on that two subject compared to the qualitative one.

Now i am on holiday and am going to enjoy every bits of this holiday to improve myself. Hopefully i can gain something on this almost three months holiday.

What's Wrong With Our "Money"?

2009-05-18T15:40:00.004+08:00

Money is more than our daily neccessity as it is the main exchanges or trade means to obtain goods and services. Money was created in the past as the means of exchanging values in society so that there is an efficient and standadise means of trade. Prior to money invention, people used to barter. Barter is a form of value transaction in which two or more individual came together to make an agreement on how to exchange goods or even services in return for another goods and services. a farmer, for example, when he need meat, will go to a hunter house with his grains and discuss on the ratio of exchange like 2 Kg of grain for 1 Kg of meat and so on. This type of exchanges was too complicated and subjective in nature and there might also be exploitative behaviour by one party who are more "powerful" in terms of influences or members and etc. So here we come to the invention of "money" as a standardise exchanging mechanism.

So now the question come, "what's wrong with our 'money?'.

1. Loan
Loaning money is arguably good for society as a whole as it give opportunities for those who has lack capital but have a good ideas to be able to finance their "ideas" and reap success from it.But is it really the case?

Let's take a look onto "Loan" Mechanism :

1. "A" Deposit $10,000 to the bank. Bank has a reserve assest ratio which was set by central bank in each country. For instance, we take 10% which means 10% of $10,000 (or $9,000) can be made available as a loan.

2. "B" took a $9,000 Loan from the bank then through various means of exchanges it will end up in the bank again as $9,000. Bank will made 10% of $9,000($8,100) available for loan again.

3. The total loan will be [1 - 1/0.1] * 10,000 = 90,000

Conclusion: From $10,000 of monetary value banks created $90,000 of monetary value. This mean that most of our money was financed by debt. This also mean that there will always be a depreciation of monetary value (inflation) since 10,000 value can be made into 90,000 out of nothing.

Now, lets take a look the outcome of loan to business and people as a whole :

1. Bank lend "A" $10,000 but required A to give back 10,000*[1+ a]; in which a = interest rate.

2. Supposed there is 2 person in this world borrowing money from bank 10,000 each. and supposed a= 20%. They are required to pay back their loan as 12,000 each. What's wrong with this? the total monetary value of this world is just 20,000 and now they are required to return 4,000 more? How can they get that sort of money? The answer is the bancrupcy of the other business or at least the lost of assest from another businnesses.

World Cup and Indonesia

2009-04-05T17:06:00.002+08:00

What's with World Cup and Indonesia? ok, we have to acknowledge that Indonesia has hardly ever entered even the qualifying stage of World Cup Competition. But this is not about that issue. The issue that amused me the most is the ambition of Indonesian Football Governing Body to bid as a host for World Cup. At first, i thought they are just making sensational story to spice the league up a bit and create and image that they are doing "something".

But, to my surprise, they are not joking about it. They have contacted the Chelsea Interim Manager as well as Russia National Team Coach, Mr. Guus Hiddink. A team of Indonesian negotiatior has contacted Mr. Hiddink to negotiate for a contract starting from 2010 which said to be worth 96 Billion Rupiah per year (around 9.6 Million US Dollar per year).

Human Regeneration? Is It Possible?

2009-03-25T16:38:00.002+08:00

Note : This is my first draft. As i do not have time to review what i am writing, please understand that this post might contains many errors like grammatical or maybe information delivering errors. Please treat this post as recreational information only. Refer to experts for a more reliable information.

Do you know Claire Bennet? She is a girl who can regenerate parts of her body after it was cut off or removed from herself. Her regeneration ability is so fast that once her finger was cut down, she can grew it back in a matter of seconds. If you happen to find or know a person who can regenerate, it will be very awesome. Scientifically, She can control the pace of cell degradation which mean she can not died. Actually i do not know Claire Bennet personally, she is a character in the US TV Series, Heroes. Now the TV series has reaced Season 3.

But i am not here to talk about the TV Series but about the "real" human capabilities to regenerate him(her)self. According to some scientists, there is quite a possibility that human can regenerate their parts of body, although not as fast as what "Claire Bennet" has done in the Series. The arguments about this is that we once has this abilities but it was forgotten or left out as we matured.

An embrio cells inside a mother tummy, during the formation of the "little baby" if removed from the main cells, can be regrown back easily and will not have a further implications on the baby. Even when the baby is born, if the finger tip is removed or cut off, It can be easily grew back and will look perfectly normal as before (this ability existed until approximately 5 years old).

So now the main question is how can we "recall" the ways to use that ability? or is it just that the parts that is responsible for "regeneration" has wither away as we become older?

A proffesor said that the only way to "recall" this ability is to "communicate" with our body. The communication here has some different definitions. Some regard communication is through the mind existence (meditation), while some others regard this as physical existence (by putting stimuli on part of the body using natural materials (Pig Intestine can be used but need to be cleared in laboratory first) or even artificial materials (Chemistry). The "mind" ways has not been scientifically known or proven yet while the natural materials has been proven. A man in his 70s lost his finger tip during an accident, has his fingertip back after being treated with the natural materials.

However, there is a need to address a moral question. If we all can regenerate, what will happen to future generations? No more child? or over-population? pollution? even scarcer resources?

First of all, we need to admit that regeneration ability, if possible, will be able to cure all patient from their ailings. We do not have to pay huge sum of money for medical expenses. But this will only happen at the expense of doctors and nurses. Which one is better? This is subject to our own values, if we think that we all must died then maybe some of us will think that regeneration is of no use because "God" created us to die. This is a dilemma that we need to think of.

Then, if regeneration made us immortals, then earth will be over-populated. This can be overcome with trade off of child birth or a more unconventional method is to acquire other planets or even living on space craft like star trek or star wars. Some unethical method is to "kill" those who have reached certain aged. (i am not encouraging people but just giving out the possible outcomes)

Of course, there are many other things that we need to take into account. But due to time constraint, i will have to stop for now.

David Zinczenko, kolumnis majalah Men’s Health menolak anggapan umum bahwa pria lebih tegar daripada wanita dalam menghadapi putusnya hubungan percintaan. Apa saja alasannya?

Pria Menyembunyikan Perasaannya. Ketika seorang pria diputuskan oleh pasangannya, biasanya ia akan sesumbar: Biar saja, life still goes on. Caranya? 26% pria yang mengisi survei online Men’s Health melakukannya dengan minum-minum bersama teman-temannya. 36% pria akan menatap mantan pacarnya, tersenyum, dan mengucapkan terimakasih. Faktanya, kedua hal tersebut dilakukan pria untuk menutup-nutupi perasaannya. Ini adalah reaksi yang alamiah; gender pria dikondisikan masyarakat untuk tidak gampang menunjukkan perasaan, apalagi perasaan yang membuatnya terlihat lebih lemah. Namun represi ini juga berakibat sulitnya menghilangkan perasaan terluka, marah, atau sedih dari dirinya. Sebaliknya, wanita yang putus cinta biasanya langsung menangis (atau mengekspresikan emosinya) saat itu juga, dan wanita juga cenderung lebih to-the-point ketika mengakhiri hubungan cinta. Akhirnya mereka akan lebih cepat menghilangkan perasaan-perasaan negatif itu dibandingkan pria.

Pria Punya Lebih Sedikit Teman Curhat. Salah satu alasan mengapa wanita lebih cepat pulih dari penderitaan pasca putus cinta daripada pria adalah karena wanita memiliki lebih banyak teman yang bisa diandalkan untuk bercerita. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pria mengandalkan hubungan cinta untuk mendapatkan kedekatan emosional dan dukungan sosial, sementara wanita bisa mendapatkan hal yang sama dengan keluarga dan teman sesama wanita. Begitu wanita mengalami putus cinta, ia akan bercerita kepada siapa saja, kalau perlu kepada orang yang tidak dikenal yang duduk di sebelahnya di bis umum, agar perasaannya bisa lebih enak. Pria, di sisi lain, cenderung lebih enggan membuka diri untuk soal ini. Mungkin baru beberapa bulan kemudian, ketika dalam keadaan setengah teler, baru ia berani bercerita kepada teman-teman prianya mengenai betapa inginnya ia kembali lagi dengan si mantan.

Pria Tidak Suka Memulai Dari Awal Lagi. Setelah putus cinta, pada awalnya pria mungkin akan merasa semangat membayangkan wanita-wanita yang akan ia kencani di masa depan. Namun setelah kencan yang keempat, kesembilan, atau ketigabelas kalinya, barulah ia sadar kalau dibutuhkan usaha keras dan waktu yang panjang untuk sampai pada tingkat keintiman yang pernah ia alami bersama mantannya. Sebuah penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wanita lebih mampu menyesuaikan diri ketika hubungan berakhir karena sebelumnya mereka sudah memikirkan adanya kemungkinan itu, sementara pria biasanya lebih tidak siap dengan putus cinta. Perasaan nyaman secara emosional membuat pria merasa beruntung bisa memiliki seseorang seperti dia. Sayangnya, hal ini seringkali baru disadari ketika si dia sudah berubah status menjadi mantan pacar.

Gambaran Pacaran Pria Yang (Terlalu) Ideal. Banyak kasus putus cinta merupakan reaksi sesaat atas apa yang dirasa sebagai kebosanan; bosan dengan aktivitas, pembicaraan, dan pertengkaran yang itu-itu saja. Kalau kembali melajang, pria mungkin merasa ia akan menjalani hidup yang lebih menarik; tanpa komitmen, bebas pergi ke mana saja, dan bebas bergaul dengan wanita-wanita yang bisa dijadikan pacar baru. Barulah ketika benar-benar melajang ia sadar bahwa hidupnya tidak menjadi seperti itu, bahkan sekarang waktunya tersita oleh pekerjaan. Ia pun kembali merindukan keintiman yang dia alami pada masa pacaran dulu. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wanita lebih tinggi skornya daripada pria dalam hal keintiman sosial, seksual, dan intelektual. Dan biasanya wanita juga lebih cepat menyadari bahwa keintiman adalah dasar dari hubungan yang tahan lama, dan bukannya sekedar variasi aktivitas.

Menurut Zinczenko pula, beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pria lebih rentan mengalami stres, depresi, dan kecemasan ketika putus cinta dibandingkan dengan wanita. Itu menurut dia. Bagaimana pendapat anda? Apakah anda memiliki pengalaman yang membenarkan atau menyangkal pendapat ini?

Jay Chow - Dao Xiang

2009-02-11T21:36:00.001+08:00

Lyric:
對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
dui zhe ge shi jie ru guo ni you tai duo de bao yuan
Look out to this world [around you] if you have too many grievances,

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
die dao le jiu bu gan ji xu wang qian zou
After fallen, you lose the courage to move forward

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱墮落
wei shen me ren yao zhe me de cui ruo duo luo
Why do people need to be so weak and useless?

請你打開電視看看
qing ni da kai dian shi kan kan
Please switch on the television and see for yourself

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
duo shao ren wei sheng ming zai nu li yong gan de zou xia qu
So many people living their lives working hard and moving forward

我們是不是該知足
wo men shi bu shi gai zhi zu
Shouldn’t we be content,

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you
Cherish everything even if we don’t possess them

*Chorus Starts*

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡
hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao
Still remember you said home is the only castle

隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao
I continued running following the paddy fragrance, the flowing stream

微微笑　小時候的夢我知道
wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao
Smiling, I know [this is] the childhood dreams

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑
bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao
Don’t cry, let the fireflies take you away

鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao
You can always depend in folk songs

回家吧　回到最初的美好
hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao
Go home, return to the happy past

*Chorus Ends*

不要這麼容易就想放棄　就像我說的
bu yao zhe me rong yi jiu xiang fang qi jiu xiang wo shuo de
Don’t give up so easily, just like what I said,

追不到的夢想　換個夢不就得了
zhui bu dao de meng xiang huan ge meng bu jiu de liao
If the dream can’t be reached, just follow another dream

為自己的人生鮮艷上色
wei zi ji de ren sheng xian yan shang se
First, add bright colours to your own life

先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色
xian ba ai tu shang xi huan de yan se
First, paint love on your favourite colour

笑一個吧　功成名就不是目的
xiao yi ge ba gong cheng ming jiu bu shi mu di
Smile, fame and success isn’t the aim

讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義
rang zi ji kuai le kuai le zhe cai jiao zuo yi yi
Be happy, happiness is the whole meaning

童年的紙飛機　現在終於飛回我手裡
tong niang de zhi fei ji xian zai zhong yu fei hui wo shou li
The paper plane of childhood [that I released] finally return back to me

所謂的那快樂　赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了
suo wei de na kuai le chi jiao zai tian li zhui qing ting zhui dao lei le
The so-called happiness, [is] chasing dragonflies in the fields barefooted till exhausted

偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了　誰在偷笑呢
tou zhai shui guo bei mi feng gei ding dao pa le shui zai tou xiao ne
Stung by bees so much while stealing fruits until i’m scared, who’s laughing [at me]?

我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了
wo kao zhe dao cao ren chui zhe feng chang zhe ge shui zhao le
Leaning against the scarecrow, enjoying the wind and singing songs till falling asleep

哦　哦　午後吉他在蟲鳴中更清脆
o o wu hou ji ta zai chong ming zhong geng qing cui
Oh~ Oh~ In the afternoon, the guitar sound more sharp amidst the cries of insects

哦　哦　陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎
o o yang guang sa zai lu shang jiu bu pa xin sui
Oh~ Oh~ There’s no need to fear for heartbreak as the sun is lighting up the path

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有＃
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you
Cherish everything even if we don’t possess them

Repeat chorus x 2

Cap Go Meh (Fifteenth Night)

2009-02-10T10:06:00.004+08:00

Standing alone on the pedestrian road...
at the side of a city's busy road...
Looking at a single-bright-round moon..
Thinking that it's too soon
for the time to pass by

It's been the twentieth times in my life
Experiencing the full moon vibe
yet happiness hasn't come any near
but still hovering over the cold dark night

Is this a choice or a single way?
i can't just make the time delayed
i thought my heart is beating again
is it just a feeling or a new begins?

Mixed feelings through the nights
is it a dream i should fight?
or is it just another dreams of life?
making me "thinks", i am fine?

I admit that i am flawed, in fact, very
but life is not like a sinking ferry
the mistakes will vanished along with it
but in life you will 4ever bear it

Looking again at the full moon night
wish that it will give me enough light
to guide my way through the jungle
painting over all my bungles....

Xin Tiao / Heart Beat - Wang Lee Hom

Heartbeat 心跳
Lyrics/Composition: Wang Lee Hom (王力宏)

想跟我吵架我没那麽无聊
Xiang gen wo chao jia Wo mei na me wu liao
You want to argue with me. Im not that bored.

不懂得道歉我没那麽聪明
Bu dong de dao qian Wo mei na me cong ming
I apologize without understanding. Im not that bright.

好想要回到我们的原点
Hao xiang yao hui dao wo men de yuan dian
I desire to go back to where we began.

你又在哭泣我给不了安慰
Ni you zai ku qi Wo gei bu liao an wei
You are crying again. I fail to give you comfort.

我又在摇头有那麽点後悔
Wo you zai yao tou You na me dian hou hui
Im shaking my head again (disapproving of my actions), thats that much regret

爱情的发展已难以回头却无法往前走
Ai qing de fa zhan yi nan hui tou que wu fa wang qian zou
Loves progression makes it already hard to turn back, but Im unable to move on.

但身不由己出现在胸口两颗心能塞几个问号
Dan shen bu you yi chu xian zai xiong kou Liang ke xin neng sai ji ge wen hao
My body still wont leave because of what is currently in my chest. Two hearts can solve many problems.

爱让我们流多少眼泪
Ai rang wo men liu duo shao yan lei
How many tears has love made us shed?

你的眼神充满美丽带走我的心跳
Ni de yan shen chong man mei li dai zou de de xin tiao
Your eyes are brimming with beauty to carry away my heartbeat.

你的温柔如此靠近带走我的心跳
Ni de wen rou ru ci kao jin dai zou wo de xin tiao
In this way, you draw closer to take away my heartbeat.

逆转时光到一开始能不能给一秒
Ni zhuan shi guang dao yi kai shi Neng bu neng gei yi miao
Time has turned back to the beginning. Can you give me a moment?

等着哪一天你也想起
Deng zhe na yi tian ni ye xiang qi
Im waiting for whatever day when you will also remember

那悬在记忆中的美好
Na xuan zai ji yi zhong de mei hao
That happiness hovering in your memories.

The Mayan Prophecy
I have spent almost 4 years reading about all the theories, prophecies, and news related to 2012. It's all started with a TV program on a national TV. I forgot what is the name of the program but the station tv buy the right to broadcast it from either national geography, history channel or discovery channel; but most likely discovery channel. The TV program said about a researcher of Mayan tribe, a supposedly civilized tribe in the south america who built a great pyramid there, who claimed to have calculated the Mayan calender to our calender, through which he found out that the calender actually ended at 21 December 2012; at the winter soltice. The researcher, John Major Jenkins, concluded that it meaned that the Mayan people foresee that Human civilization will end at 21 December 2012. He did not make the conclusion just like that. Mayan tribe has two calender. Both are used by them in their daily activity to farming and predict weather. One calender is shorter and the other one is longer. The shorter one ended around the end of Mayan civilization.John Major Jenkins argued that the calender was not made beyond that day because Mayan tribe know that their civilization will end at that day. This led him to conclude that the longer one supposed to signify the end of human civilization as a whole.

I then started to wonder the truth of this prophecy. I think, at year 2000 people also said there will be a shutting down of all computer in this world and human will turn to stone age, but it did not happen so this one might also be a hoax.

But this curiosity ran into me again when i am surfing on internet oneday. i started to search and read about it. To my surprised, i found out that all tribes around the world has similar prophecy about the end of the world. I read about the native american, Hopi indian tribe's prophecy.

The Hopi Indian
Shortly, Hopi Indian has a legend about talk about a big star crossing the earth so close that it will shaken the earth and all the living beings living in the earth will died. Soon after the star passed, all the earth will turned into ice. Only a few people managed to survived. Since then, the story has been told from one generation to the next so that the next generation can be awared of it. Hopi Indian also prophezied that one day the big star will crossed the earth again. Besides that, the hopi indian prophecy which consisted of 6 prophecy has managed to foretell that the white people will come to their land. and it's actually come true. if i am not mistaken, 5 out of 6 prophecies has been fullfilled.

Atlantis and Dinosaur
One day, i read about a news that in the bottom of sea near japan, geologist found out a strange boxes and shape like a building. then i wonder, could it be the remains of the legend city of atlantis? Atlantis according to plato was located at the atlantic ocean today. (Is it the reason, the ocean was named atlantis. But if it is atlantis how could the remains found in pacific ocean?) According to a man (i forgot his name) claimed to be a reincarnation of a former atlantis citizen, atlantis was a big place, the technology was so advanced that human at that time could even make a trade with people on the mars. Their source of energy come from a mystical glass-like building, similar to a pyramid, and it did not harm the environment. People of atlantis could even talk with animals or even trees. The closest animal with them is dolphin. Dolphin like to talk to human using telepathy. As their civilization advanced, human began to be more selfish and started to destroyed the earth. Suddenly, one day the earth angry and drowned all the atlantis. Some of them managed to avoid the catastrophe and escaped to Africa, Europe or America. Could the remains found at the bottom of the sea belong to those refugees who has settled down near Japan? Of course, it is just my wild thinking.

Then i started to think that what really caused a sudden disappearance of dinosaur from the earth,of course according to scientist they disappearance suddenly, which led them to conclude that dinosaurs extinct because of an extraterrestrial causes such as big asteroid/meteoroid. Is it all related?

The Nostradamus Prophecy and Book of Revelation
Nostradamus prophecy is the world second best seller book after the bible, according to some sources. Nostradamus was a physicist who turned to be a astrologer. During his life time, he has prophesized many events which turned out to be true such as the death of a king (i forgot his name).

In his book, Nostradamus mentioned about three antichrist which will turned this world into chaos. The first one is napoleon bonaparte and the second one is Adolf hilter, according to the follower of his prophecy, and the third anti christ is yet to come.

While mentioning about adoft hilter, Nostradamus used the word "hisler" which was the name of a river to encrypt the word "Hitler".

then the third antichrist, according to his prophecy, should some how related to the word "Mabus". Now i will stop at this point and go to the reference in the book of revelation.

In the book of revelation, it is said that the third antichrist will come at a time of disaster. He will come in the name of messiah, the one who gives hope and light. In his head there will be a mark of the number of the beast, 666. He will become famous in a short period of time and people around the world will joy for him, he also carried with him a great charisma and persuasive way in his speech. ( this is not the exact phrases, if you want to find the exact phrase go to library and read the book of revelation.)

Interestingly, many people has speculated about this third anti christ, from Bill gates, to George W. Bush and the most recent is Obama. According to some speculator, Obama can be the one who was refered by the book of revelation and nostradamus prophecy. I have mentioned a lot about this speculation of the third anti christ in my previous post. If you are interested to know more about this speculation please go to What will happened in 21 december 2012

The fact that no one knows who is the real anti christ before the time come. So this speculation is just giving us something to think. But combining the prophecies all together which mentioned the 21 december 2012 is the "purification day" in which the world will have a massive destruction whether it is a terrestrial, nature or human caused, or extraterrestrial is still unknown.

The Sumerian prophecy

Sumerian is an ancient civilization which took place in the middle east (now). From their artifacts, archaelogist can see that there are many scriptures that is strange. It is strange in the sense that, they carved a flying object similar to plane and some other unknown objects which supposed to be able to fly. They also have some strange humanoid statue which according to some people similar to an alien. The flying objects could also be alien in nature. So many people actually thinks that the ancient sumerian people have contacts with outside worlds and their civilization is in some extent can be classified as "advanced".

Sumerian prophecies said that one day, a bright star called Nibiru will come to the earth and gives its wrath on earth and on its entired beings. They mentioned that there will be a great alignment, in fact, most prophecies mentioned about it.

Natural Science Point of View on 21 December 2012

According to some scientists, the earth polar has not shifted for a period of time which can be considered very odd because according to their research, in every 200thousands year (if i am not wrong) the earth polar will shifted, north to south and south to north. The impact of the shiftment is still unknown, might be disastrous in nature) but they are very sure that there will be aurora on all around the world if the shiftment really happened. Some scientist argued that the polar shift is going to happened very soon. Some even predicted that between 2010-2012 there is a great possibility of polar shift.

The I-Ching

I-Ching is a chinese ancient manual which was used largely by fortuneteller nowadays to foresee what are their patient wanted to know, about work, love and etc. A few weeks ago when i was browsing videos on youtube, i saw a video that was supposedly from History Channel because it got its logo on the video, that mentioned a guy named, terrance Mc kenna who argued that the I-CHing is very unique. He plotted the 64 diagrams of I-ching in a time line since the I-ching was made and it succeed to predict many historical event such as the fall of roman empire and world wars. It also found out that the I-ching ended in one specific date, 21 December 2012. For more details please watch this video :

One Tibetan Monk Claims
Also i have something to add. About two year ago, i have read a news about a tibetan monk who claim to have see UFO and during his remote viewing, he also saw a supranatural power saving the earth from its self destruction at 2012. He claimed that something will happened between 2010-2012 and the also mentioned that beyond 2012, our science and technology which was based on material physical, and chemistry will be replace by a spiritual and people from all around the world will realized that the ultimate science does not lies in material world but in spiritual world. During the years 2006-present there has been an increasing number of UFOs sighting in India and China.

Others Theorists

There also exist other theorist of 2012 event such as the federation of light. This theory said that on 2012, our earth will reach its maturity state and people around the world will have the mental state to receive that we are not alone in this universe. There a federation similar to the united nations in earth and at that time, earth will officially entered as a member of federation of light. This believed was made by UFO believer who said that there has been contacts to goverments around the world by the federation and it is just a matter of time before they agreed that it is the time.

One theory from UFO believer also said that we are just a cattle to the Aliens, they are experimenting on us. They are watching us from the moon and 2012 is the harvesting time.

I think that is all the prophecy that i know about 21 december 2012. The problem is whether it is going to happened or not, we do not know. When the time really comes, everything will be too late to realize. Most people has speculate about it. The kyoto protocol which ended on 2012 and there is no "real" movement to re-create or re-extent the protocol? The building of a house in the south pole to keep all the seeds from all species of plants on the world is one of the example of supposedly precaution to such an event. Some speculator also said that the riches from all around the world especially those in the america has built a secret bunker capable of self supporting to keep themselves from such event, even there is a news that tom cruise is building a bunker below his house which is capable of supporting life for months. He said it is to prevent an alien attacks. But who knows?

So what do you think about this 21 december 2012 prophecy? is it just a made up of some secret organization to fill people's mind with this thought so that they can easily control the world secretively. Is it just a hoax? I also do not have a firm answer on it. On one time, i can be a great believer but on another time, i feel that this could just be a made up of a secret organization which supposedly wanted to control over the world who think that their genetics is superior to the rest of people, who thinks that they are smarter or do they actually wanted to created a new world order?

21 December 2012 Part 2

Before you continue reading the explaination on 2012, end of the world part 2, let us see a trailer of 2012 movie which will be out on 2009.

21 December 2012 Part 2 Continue
Surprisingly, i have just found out that the ancient chinese I-ching, according to Terence Mc keena, also ended at 21 december 2012. Although I ching is a book to predict future and human, Mc Keena argued that it also showed of the development of civilization of the world, the rise and down. I do not know how he can come to that solution but it supports the Mayan prophecies, and sumerian and hopi indian prophecies of planet nibiru, nostradamus and the book of revelation (if the antichrist mentioned really have a connection to Obama-refer to part 1-above-).

Please watch this video yourself. It was taken from the History Channel.

Also i have something to add. About two year ago, i have read a news about a tibetan monk who claim to have see UFO and during his remote viewing, he also saw a supranatural power saving the earth from its self destruction at 2012. He claimed that something will happened between 2010-2012 and the also mentioned that beyond 2012, our science and technology which was based on material physical, and chemistry will be replace by a spiritual and people from all around the world will realized that the ultimate science does not lies in material world but in spiritual world.

Managing Emotion Part 1

2008-11-13T13:38:00.005+08:00

Emotions are an internal actions/forces(belief, feeling) which was the result of an external factors (surroundings actions towards you). Some examples of emotion are happy-sad, angry-calm, and etc. We show our emotions usually to someone that we know; the deeper our relations with them, the bigger their actions affect your emotion. Imagine when your close kin had an accident and one of your school mate whom you barely met had an accident. Your emotion would be deeper for your close kin because there's some kind of connection/ relationships between you. You have the empathy as well as the sympathy towards him while for your schoolmate that you barely knew, you will most likely have empathy only.

Emotion filled our everyday life, in every actions that we do, we did it with emotions. Good emotions are good for you life. Bad emotions, according to research, could lead into depression, and it could lower your body immunity.

To have a good emotion, we must know how to manage our emotion. Managing emotion is not as simple as it sound. Managing emotion was not done in a matter of minutes, hours or days. it took a long process and patient was the most important factor in managing emotion.

First, you need to cultivate a good value. Value is a basic convictions which have a judgmental element in it, through which people can choose personally or socially how to do things. We usually received values from parents in home which is the primary socialization, then school, friends and teacher in secondary socialization and through media and others which can be included as tertiary socialization. So we can conclude that a good values depends on a good environment. Just imagine a baby, son of a wealthy business man in US. One day somehow the baby was left with a cannibalistic tribe. So do you think the baby will become a business man or a cannibal?

We will all agree that the baby will become a cannibal because he received the values from the tribe and he feels that it's nothing wrong in it. But now let's take a look at ourselves, now that we reached an age when we can be more selective in receiving values. We can "choose" to store what values we want to store in our brain as a good value.

Values can be divided into terminal and instrument values. Terminal means the ends, what we want to have in life, for example comfortable living, success, social recognition and etc while instrumental values means the means, how we want to achieve the ends, for example, hardworking, broadminded, clean, logical, loving and etc.

So to manage emotions, we need to choose a good values such as a self respect is preferred (terminal values),then we need to respect others and have to have a self control (restrain or disciplines). for example, a manager when he was giving order to his subordinate received a negative respond from him. A failed manager will scold his subordinate or even report to the human resource management department to have him replaced. A good manager will try to controlled himself and asked himself whether the way he is giving order is respecting his/her subordinate or whether his subordinate look stress or have a family problems. A good manager will try to calm the situation. This is of course easier to said than did. Even if we are faced with this kind of conditions and still can not controlled ourselves, we must not stop trying. Nothing is impossible as long as you have the will, there'll be a way. Although no body's perfect, it does not mean that we should stop trying to be one. Like although you know everybody will died, we should not stop visit doctor when we get ill.

Why I Can Not "Spell" The Word Study Well?

2008-11-12T21:39:00.004+08:00

Three months has passed since i entered the new semester on business administration degree at Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) under the University of London-London School of Economics (UOL-LSE) program. I am taking four subjects for this semester, Principles of Accounting (POA), Principles of Marketing, Introduction to Business and Management (IBM) and Managerial Economics). I think that i am okay with those subjects, in the sense that i think i am interested in those subjects.

My problems is having studied for three months on this new semester, i still couldnot "spell" the word "study" correctly. Everytime i write study, suddenly the word become "browsing", sometimes turned up tobe "gaming", in other occasion can be "leisuring", or even "watching tv/movies". How can i spell it correctly? Is the problems lies internally or externally?

I have tried many different way to learn to spell the word study correctly. I have planned my days, set priorities and timed of studies. Still i do not follow the plan and start procrastinate. then i tried to study every day and close tv but my mind said to me that i need to be more relax. Am i just finding excuses?

Recently, i tried to threatened myself that i will failed the exam if i do not start studying now because my subjects are all very difficult. Marketing need to read news and advertisement everyday. I have to write 4 pages essay for each questions. for IBM, i need to read a lot to add more knowledge, news and others management application. I also need to write 4 pages of essay for each questions in the exam. For Managerial economics, i have to trained alot of questions and until now i haven't do any at home. For POA, although it is not as difficult as the others, i still need to be meticulous in exam and need to trained many questions. This techniques seems to be working for now, but i am not sure for latter date.

Will The World End At 2012?

2008-11-11T00:15:00.007+08:00

Warning : this article was not made as a provocative article as this article was very subjective in nature. Readers are advised to look for a more reliable article. The purpose of this article is just to inform readers of a recent topics that the author read on the internet recently. Author will not beheld responsible for any accuracy or truth of the article. Comments are welcomed for the dubious part of the arguments.

REFER ALSO TO ARTICLE : THE COMPLETE SUMMARY-2012

The end of the day or doomsday has been a topic of interest among people from across the globe. The topic started from a Mayan calender which, according to John Major Jenkins (a Mayan tribe researcher), end at 2012. End does not means no more life on earth but it is more to a disastrous event which will cause almost all the population of the earth died.

Mayan people has two type of calender. One is for their own tribe, and one is for the world. The one that is supposedly for the world will end at 21 December 2012 at the time of winter eclipse while the other one which was supposedly for their own tribe has end earlier as their mighty civilization ended.

This end of the world theory has evolve through time and has been combined with many different theories including the famous Nostradamus prophecies, Sumerian prophecies and the book of revelation.

First i will introduced the prophecies of the Sumerian people.

The Sumerian people was a very advanced in their civilization in the old days, comparable to the Mayan, Egyptian, Peruvian ICA or even the legend civilization of Atlantis. The notion of advanced was not made without proof. The Sumerian people artifacts showed a great knowledgel of civilization as their carvings showed of an object similar to an aircraft or helicopter.

Anyway, their prophecies stated that in every thousands years, there will be a star crossing the earth, so near that it will shaken the earth and all the living thing inside it will suffer a calamity. Many beings will die.
This prophecy was also similar to the native Indian hopi legend which was told from generation to generation that one day, a bright star will appeared in the sky and causing earthquake across the globe. Most will die and only a few managed to live through.
You might also wonder why the pyramid eqypt was made to be able to stand still for thousands of years. do the carvings on the wall of pyramids hold a great secret that before was one of the most advanced civilization to remind the next generation of the calamity we will faced?

The next prophecy is the nostradamus prophecy.
Nostradamus prophecy stated that there will come a third anti christ. Somewhat related to a guy named Mabus, after this guy died the calamity will started.
This guy mabus has been a topic of interest on the internet recently. There are a few theory which said Mabus is somehow related to OBAMA, the elected presidential candidate:
1. Mabus refers to the termed of America's presidency. Bush-Obama but it was read in from the left word, Bus- Ma
2. Mabus refers to Barack Obama as his name can be written as obaMA, Barack hUSsein (his full name is barack hussein obama)= MABUS.
3. Mabus refers to Obama as his middle eastern advisor during the campaign was Ray MABUS(can be verified to obama website).
4. Mabus can refer to Obama because when nostradamus wrote about adolf hilter, he encrypted the name as hister (s become L). Some suggest MABUS must be read from its mirror reflection as SUBAM and the s should be placed at the back become UBAMS, then the S can be changed to A and it become UBAMA.

The book of revelation stated that the world will end when the third antichrist come. The antichrist will come from middle-eastern descent, possed a charismatic and persuasive way in talking. He will claim himself as messiah and people from across the world will joy in him. He will lead the people prosporously for 3 and half year and the calamity will started at the end of the first termed and continued with a disastrous event for three and half year.

The recent rumour that obama was the third antichrist was based on the book of revelation also. Most of the theorists saw Obama as a middle eastern descent (his father come from Kenya and according to some historian Kenya was once part of middle east. Eventhough it is not but Obama father is a muslim, muslim come from middle east which mean he is a middle eastern descent). They also saw Obama posses a great charisma and has a persuasive way in speaking. They argued that Obama campaign do not have a real concrete way to execute their abstract ideas of how to get the economy going, people loved him because the way he speaks not his ideas. Obama was nobody 6 months prior to the primary democrat election, he suddenly rise up and all the people in the world are aware of who he was.

Before and after he was elected as president, all the world was happy for him. In Japan, many people joy over his success, even there is a village named after him. In Indonesia, his former school juniors celebrated his success joyfully. In various part of the world there is also a similar joy among people and it can also be observed through internet; people are commented in forums how they are happy for obama.

Obama first name, Barack, means Light, mesiah also means the one who bring light to the world. Obama, in his campaign, talk about hope and change. Hope and change were also the purpose of messiah (Jesus) when he came to the world. Obama claim himself as The One to bring change in his campaign and many of his supporter like Oprah also claim that he is the one. Is he the real anti christ? we might not know until he finished his first termed (3 and half year of prosper) and continued with his second term ( 3 and half year of calamity).

I am not joking when i said obama will continue for his second termed because after he was elected, he said in his speech that he might not be able to finish in bringing the change in one term which also means he is considering to continue for a second termed and if he fulfilled the antichrist prophecy, bringing prosper to the world, it will be easy for him to be elected again.

Think again, after obama first termed (3 and half year till the election started), it is 2012. Is it just coincidence?

Some theory suggest that if obama was Mabus. He might be assasinated when he continued for his second termed and the calamity will start. Whether it is a disastrous even like a planet X (Nibiru) crossed the earth and caused a great disaster as he Sumerian people, native indian hopi believed or a great tsunami or earthquake or even a man made disaster like world war 3 like anti christ theorist believed, if it really happened then we must be well prepared.

Talking about well-prepared, The elites of the world has prepared for the doomsday. The doomsday house has already be made. In the house, various kind of seeds from around the world, primarily for food purpose was store in the house. It was made to anticipate a great disastrous event. A report(unproven) also said that elites like Bill gates and the NASA already know about the planet Nibiru that will cross the earth soon. Nasa, in 2001, has launch a nuclear missile to the space to destroyed a small asteroids(this one is on the news). They claimed it as a training, but for what? Bill gates and all the elites is reportedly (unproven) has built a secret great bunker to save their life if something happened to the earth because it is just impossible to built a bunker that are able to accomodate all the people in the world. They also keep it as a secret because if they announced it to the world, people will star to fear and maybe a chaos will happened in the world. Tom cruise, the follower of scientology, has also built a bunker below his new house which is said to be able to accomodate life for a long time(it is on the news).

SO WILL THE WORLD END AT 2012? Who knows?

After The Execution

2008-11-10T23:39:00.002+08:00

Note : This article was not made for any provocative purpose but merely a very subjective view of the author. This article might not hold any facts or scientific review. For those who are reading this article, you are reminded that this is a very personal view on a topic of interest.

At the midnight of last Saturday, 8th November 2008, three 'so called' heroes of their supporter was executed by Indonesian government. The death execution has give so many pros and contras. Some think that it is right as it has followed the legal positive laws in Indonesia, some think that it has 'offend' the human rights and this death of those bomber might rise a bigger scale, if not the same, of Islamic extremists and radicals action not only in Indonesia, but also across the globe.

Why suddenly there is a rise of radicalism among Indonesian Muslims?
The rise of radicalism Muslim was started when Indonesia sunk into the so called free and democratic country which i personally think it is still not the right time for Indonesia to have full democracy after the 1998 clashed because the level of education and economy in this country was not 'ripe' enough(the level of education was not still equal in various province) to sustain the 'attacks' from outside like, for example radicalism and fundamentalism.

Before the 1998, there was absolutely zero legal radical movement in Indonesia because the government was very strict on it. In contrast, now in Indonesia the radicals islamic 'legal' organization was formed and the teachings of unprecedented Islamic sects swarmed Indonesia, brain washing the belief of muslims in Indonesia. Some of these organization were FPI, and HMI. Even more fretting, the movement of this so called Islamic radicalism has moved inside the government and house of representative. There is also an attempt to change Indonesia's Pancasila which gave every citizens in Indonesia a same equal rights to do their cultural and spiritual belief according to the positive laws in Indonesia to an Islamic charter called Madina Charter. Those political parties who support the ideas of changing the constitution was usually come from 'wahabian' islamic parties and some others who reportedly received funds from Arabian countries (this report was not confirmed but merely a rumour spreading on internet)

Will indonesia become an Islamic countries which is the aims of those radicalism movement? (you can see the videos of their teachings on youtube)
The answer lies on your hand. 2009 election. You decide our future.

Bullet proof man killed by police in Indonesia

2008-10-26T03:09:00.002+08:00

I was browsing on youtube.com when i came upon an interesting video of an incident happened in Indonesia where a bulletproofed man taunted police officers to shoot him after killing one.

This man, Mr. Tarzan, was visited by a police officer and a citizen who wanted to ask him to pay his loan. But unexpectedly, Mr Tarzan grab a "Golok", a kind of sword or knife, and stab the police in the head.

When police officers came to his house to arrest him, he did not frightened but he taunted the police to shot him, even in the head. Because he was equipped with Golok, no body dared to go near to him. At last the policemen decided to shot his leg, but nothing happened to him, not even a single scratch. Then the police decided to shoot his body but still the effort went in vain. A total of 107 bullets was shot at him but he was not hurt.

At last, a citizen informed the police that Mr tarzan was equipped with "jimat" (a protector using what they called black magic). The Jimat was in form of ring in his hand. After learning the situation, the police arrange a sniper to shoot the ring in his hand. After the ring was shot, the man lost his power and become vunerable to bullets. He was shot dead by police.

The problem is not whether what the police has done is ethical or not by killing him; some people find it unethical, some is okay with it, but
Is such a mystical, occult, unbelievable and scientifically impossible thing occured?
Is scientific methods flaw in such a way? Is there a possibilty to change the course of science from learning the physical behaviour to learn the spiritual or even the combination of spiritual and physical behaviour?

Today Marketing Techniques

2008-10-15T02:37:00.004+08:00

Marketing, a process by which management identify and supply the needs and wants of consumer by producing goods and then offered it for trade/exchange of values with customer, has started to be a hot topic in every firm/ company since the 1960s when globalization forces drawn market to a global based which caused the demand is greater than supply which made the company wanted to understand consumer behavior and it is the cause for company like GE interested to understand the consumer.

Marketing techniques have developed rapidly each year. New techniques are being found out and performed by firms. But most of the marketing technique that we learn was rather traditional because a new form of marketing technique is taking place. Companies in the US, especially because of the financial crisis has to cut budget and one of the possible budget cutting department is the marketing department. So now the manager of marketing department has to worked harder to achieve the same or even better ends with less means. The technique used by most company was to cut their TV based advertisement technique to another which they believed is a more effective technique such as word of mouth, point-of-purchased innovation and music label. TV revenue in the US itself, according to HBR, was down by 8% in 2007 and is forecast to decline by 10% in the US and are now.

The most innovative marketing technique from those three mentioned above was music label and this technique has been practiced by major MNC in the US such as procter & gambles, the world biggest consumer product which made it the world biggest marketers. P&G has recently sign a contract with Jermaine Dupri to sponsored his recording studio to discover new talent. The plan was that the music label will be named after a brand of body spray. Mr. Dupri himself is well-known for producing hit for Mariah Carey and Jay-Z. Mr. Dupri wife is also a singer, Janet Jackson. Others company also used this marketing technique.

Earlier, Bacardi was willing to help groove amanda, a British electronic duo, to finance and produce its next release. Caress, Unilever body care line, commissioned the singer of the pussycat dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, to record a version of Duran Duran's Rio that it give away on its website to promote Brazilian body wash product. Red bull is starting a label also, and it is expected to be out before the end of the year.

Songs made to promote products does not lose it competitiveness to fight for prestigiuous position for music lover, a hip hop song released by Nike sang by Kanye West, Nas and friends was nominated for best rap performance by duo or group. Star burst, an autralian juicy candy brand, released a song that was positioned in the first chart for weeks.

Blogging,What wrong with being a blogger?

2008-10-15T01:34:00.002+08:00

Blogging is an activity whereby a person shared his/her thoughts, feelings, emotions, hobbies, interests and families to known and maybe unknown readers to let them see and understand what they felt. Some blogger, a term for people who blogged, preferred to keep their blog only for their own because they think that what they wrote on the blog was too personal or they felt that they will be looked down, or underestimate because what they wrote in their blog gave people a different picture of the person from what he/ she usually pictured him/herself in daily interaction.

Blogging has developed in so rapidly that nowadays, people make blog for many different new reasons. Most of the existed blog was made for the money making purpose, most of them contain sexually explicit videos or pictures contains or download links, some of them contain movies or musics download links or videos, there is also some of them contain information about how to make money online itself; links to sites that gives money for doing surveys, data entry, and surfing advertisement. Some others are making blogs for other purpose like, selling goods and services online, creating a small fansclub and etc.

The increasing number of blog that publish sexually explicit material has drawn attention to many countries legal authorities such as China and most recently Indonesia. In China, one of the reason blogging was prohibited or restricted was because the numerous amount of "adult" blog. If it was the real reason behind the prohibition of blog why not make a stricter rules and regulation on blogging or blogger, such as banned or close all adult blog. I believed through the advancement in the IT technology nowadays, it is not difficult to track down adult website. Some observer argued that it is for the purpose of stopping liberal or capitalist view penetrate Chinese people view because the government afraid that it will give rise to rebellion. but let's cut the topic of until there because i am afraid that i might be caught one days for writing too much politically taboo topics.

I am not unreasonable for the sudden stop in discussing the topic there. The increasing amount of pressure putted on blogger has drawn me into careful selection of words. With the recently caught malaysian blogger, R.P., under the Internal Security Act, for sure, blogger especially in Malaysia are now more reluctant to share their view on blog. R.P. was jailed without proper trial. I am not too sure whether he has been released or not. A few weeks after RJ was caught, the newspaper said that there is one more blogger arrested in HK and accussed for causing fear and panic in the society because he wrote about the possible collapsed of HK Financial Institution.

But why blogger are caught? Blog are a placed where we can shared our views so that people know what we are thinking. It is subjective to the person and do not contain any legal facts. People who read blog shouldn't believed what was written on it because it is not official, it might gave us an insight but it is still not official. If you believe in it, it's okay. if you don't, it's okay. If you think the writer are right, support him. if you think he is wrong, give your reasoning and try to discuss. There is a comment box on each post. but why should government arrested blogger for what they wrote? it is just not making any sense to me.

Some government even confused blogger with hacker. Like the indonesian goverment. When there is a plan to approve a regulation on internet so that no adult websites can be accessed in Indonesia, Some hacker make chaos in some of indonesian goverment websites and one of the political party website by posting sexy pictures on the main page. This cause a serious problems and the government through the advice of one IT proffesional, RS, accused blogger as the culprit. After long discussion and debate, at last, they both understand that blogger might not necessary be a hacker and a hacker might not neccessarily owned a blog.

Blogger are getting more and more attention in a more conservative countries. They see the trend of blogging is rather bad. It could harm the new and younger generation because they are exposed to many and unproven theories, articles and etc. But the way i see it is, It provide a platform for a younger generation to learn new things, to learn how people think, and of course learn how to write. But before they are exposed to many unproven or sometimes radical article or theory, they have to know and studied the proven and acceptable ones first.

Maybe blogger one day should make a blogger UNION/ blogger United like the worker union, united nations, G-7 and etc so that when a blogger encountered problems there somebody big backing him/her. peace!

During my holiday @ medan for three months, i come up with a song. Well it is not complete, i think and not sophisticated. It is just a simple song, maybe a bit lousy. Haha... every time i think of it, i can smile and laugh out load.

The Existence of Socially Legal firm

2008-10-10T12:19:00.004+08:00

People like to do business to earn a living. It had been dated back from the earliest era of human civilization, business has existed, whether in a form of exchange or trade. Then the questions arises whether a Socially legal business existed or all forms of businesses is not-socially-legal?

Socially Legal business(SLB) in this context, is a business that truly do not absorb, in every of its actions, any surpluses from the environment or customer or animal. From this definition we can see that it is almost not possible for the existence of this kind of businesses.

Because every firm that existed in this world is divided into markets, Monopolistic, Monopolistic Competition, and Oligopoly Competition.

For a monopoly market, we knew that it obvious that the firm absorbs the consumer surplus by setting its price to MC= MR taking a surplus off from consumer because it has the right to set their own prices in the absent of competition. but how about monopolistic competition market? In monopolistic competition also, firm can set MC = MR and take away an amount of surpluses which would have belong to the customer in a perfectly competitive market. In oligopolistic? we do not need to asked again. They, of course, are not SLB. They can even co-operate to set a mutually agreed price.

We can also look from the environmental issue. There no firm in this world that is really paying back to the environment in efficient manner. They are efficient in producing but not in paying back to the environment. An company decided to used some of its profit to conserve or "return" back the damaged it has caused to the environment is because of govermental rules or marketing technique. The pay out for the environment will always lesser than what they take. For example, MNCs in oil mining. Their environmental payback is for the research of how to mine oil so that the mining do not destroyed the environment, or so called a more effective and efficient ways in mining. It seems that they are taking responsibility by trying not to destroyed the environment. But wait, they do not "pay" for each oil they take from the earth. it is just like learning how to rob without killing or harming the victim.

before i close this post, i want to take back to the paragraph two above about surplus. You might argued that in perfectly competitive market, there is no surpluses taken off from consumer. You are right but do a perfect competitive market existed in this world or is it just an ideal type of market? We all knew that perfectly competitive market is a myth, at least until now. Even if it existed, it still faced problems of environmental reponsibility. Because they are perfectly competitive, their main objectives is to lower cost. and to be socially responsible, it need a committment to the environment, which mean a long term increase in cost. Using the prior assumption in the consumer in perfectly competitive market that they are all rational and only want the cheaper goods because all the goods in the market are homogenous. Firms in this case must targeting to lower the cost as their main objectives so that they can compete with others.

Even if firms in perfectly competitive market all agreed to be socially responsible, it is still questionable whether the returned for the environment is equal to what they take from the environment.

Another Poem

2008-09-28T16:14:00.002+08:00

Simmered into a new village
Fulled with people with aged
Felt pity with their pledge
To serve a new saint

Simmered into a new village
Fulled with people with aged
Wanted to help them not to beg
But they just make me edged

Simmered into a new village
Seeing aged people that's going insane
Tried to help for their sake
Just to have my light forsake

Simmered into a new village
Feeling pity with their hardship
Trying to help them ease out the hard stage
But they said they lose faced

Simmered into a new village
Seeing people fulled with ego
I do not know what can i do
I'll just go
go...........

New semester starts

2008-09-20T17:12:00.006+08:00

Last monday was the first day of the semester. I choose to study Principles of Accounting(POA), Introduction to business and Management (IBM), Managerial Economics (ME) and Principles of Marketing. After attending all the lecture this week, i think the most difficult subject will be IBM. The lecture notes only consisted of almost 3000 pages excluded the recommended text books. Horrible but i have no choice because it's a prerequisite subject in my degree. Marketing lecture notes also a bit horrible but if compared with IBM, it's nothing. Marketing lecture notes alone consists of 1000 pages. At the first week of the month, i think managerial economics was relatively easy because we only need to be good at maths and stats to do it.

Two days ago, i received a gift from LSE(London School of economics) director of external study, Mrs. Rosemary Gosling for a good performance in the UOL exam which was meant to be given earlier when she arrange a meeting for us but i was not able to come because i was in Indonesia at that time. It was more like a doll but she said that the gift represent the LSE Symbol. It's a beaver. Here are the pictures :

Tiredness

2008-05-25T01:38:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since i write my personal thing in this blog. I also wonder when is the last time. Yeah... now i am back to my blog.

Today is Saturday and i woke up at 12.30 p.m. I cooked and eat my lunch, not a lavish lunch or superb cooking just a standart (maybe below standart) cooking. Then i continue to surf for blogs, see what new features other blogs have and try to make it using google, dreamweaver and mozilla. I failed but later i am determined to try again.

At around 5 p.m. i go out to China town, and you can't imagine what i was doing there. "Selling Cakes", there are indonesian bamboo cakes, kue ko sui, sago, and huat kue huan zhu. I was there to help one of my friend because she was asked by her aunt to sell cakes for that day since her aunt and family were going for a relatives wedding dinner. It was quite a nice experience since it is the first time i was being able to sell things directly to customer and speak to different people, from amah, acek , ako, aci, and ang moh ( actually it is the second time, the first time is when i was at SIM selling sweets for charity). Tiring but also fun that's all i can described. We finished at 11 p.m. and then her aunt and uncle came to close the shop. Her aunt and uncle drives us home. I arrived home at 12.15 p.m., took bath at 1 p.m. and ate mie gelas at 1.30 p.m.

Anyway, i will be returning to Indonesia at 27 May 2008, i don't think i can go online and update my blogs frequently, not because there are no internet connection, but because it is not convenience to do it in Indonesia since i can get so much fun back at my home town. hahaha....

Quotes of The Day

2008-05-15T21:09:00.002+08:00

"The empirical basis of objective science has thus nothing absolute about it. Science does not rest upon rock bottom. The bold structure of its theories rises, as it were, above a swamp. It is like a building erected on piles... Driven down from far above into the swamp, but not to any natural or given base, and when we cease our attempt to drive our piles into a deeper layer, it is not because we have reached firm ground. We simply stop when we are satisfied that they are firm enough to carry the structure or at least for the time being"

Modern Positivists, Karl Popper

The Final Battle

2008-05-13T22:54:00.005+08:00

Warriors have gone to the war in the month of may. Three world wars with two going from day till dawn. Many warriors was reported died in the war though not less who survived and even won the wars. Those who think they have survived the three world wars on three different days will now be even more anxious than before because this Final Battle is the toughest of all wars. The war with those who control and owned the earth.

The final battle will began in six days, the exact day is 20th May 2008. Warriors are now preparing themselves because if they failed, it will more likely be Doomsday or Armageddon though if they succeed, they will gain utopia.

Although utopia is nowhere to be found. But i believe utopia is not the physical state but the mind state.

Hope we can win the war! Long Live UOL - Exams Warrior! Let's tackle Sociology!

Axis kartu setan apa bukan?

2008-05-02T01:27:00.004+08:00

This article is not written in english because i am reviewing many indonesian claims that Axis, a brand new GSM card, is actually supporting satanism church.

Ini adalah email yg saya dapat dari temen gw di friendster... sekali baca saya langsung rasa ini kerjaan orang yg kurang kerjaan ato hanya teknik marketing yg efisien dan hemat biaya

ni gw 4ward dari temen gw secara gariz besarnya ajah. . .

> > > KARTU AXIS SEKARANG SUDAH BEREDAR LOH! DAN SUDAH BISA DI TEMUI DI SEMUA COUNTER HP TERDEKAT,KARTU INI AMAT SANGAT MURAH MELEBIHI CDMA&GSM YANG LAINNYA!!

> > > BOUT!! JANGAN DI BELI APA LAGI SAMPE DI PAKE!! WHY??.. COZ KARTU INI MENDUKUNG PENGERAKAN GEREJA SETAN!!!

> > > SEMUA TARIF NYA DI MULAI DARI ANGKA 6 DAN NAMANYA SAJA 'AXIS'YANG KEBALIKAN DARI SIXA/SIX

> > > YANG ARTINYA "ANTI KRISTUS"(ANTI TUHAN)

> > > PLIZZ PESAN INI JANGAN SAMPAI PUTUS SEBARKAN KE SEMUAA TEMEN,SAHABAT,KELUARGA DAN SEMUA ORANG! SATU PESAN MENYELAMATKAN 1 JIWA!

> > > JANGAN BELI YACH KALO KITA BELI SAMA SAJA KITA MEMBIARKAN SETAN LEBIH LELUASA BEKERJA..

> > > SATU LAGI KABARNYA KARTU TERSEBUT TERDAPAT CHIP YANG DAPAT MENDETEKSI KITA KEMANA SAJA KITA PERGI!!

> > > DAN MEREKA BISA TAU SEBERAPA BANYAK ANAK-ANAK TUHAN YESUS YANG DAPAT DI JADIKAN PENGIKUTNYA!! JUGA PARA PENGIKUTNYA

> > > THX FOR U ATT -JBU-

> > > U pada tau dunx kartu AXIS dengan slogan "GSM YG BAIK"??

> > > Yg ada iklan'na di TV yg bilang SMS ke smua operator cuman Rp60/SMS 'n 600/telp ke smua operator..

> > > Pliz..Tolong forward ke temen2 kamu..Jangan pake Axis..

> > > Karna disinyalir kartu itu mendukung Gereja Setan..

> > > Dengan ciri2: sampul'na warna putih,ada gariz ungu 'n orange,ada gambar orang loncat,'n banyak angka 6..

> > > Kesaksian seorang pemakai kartu AXIS -Robi dngn nomor 08666426454..

> > > "saya pemakai kartu AXIS..Tiap malam jam 12,saya slalu mendapat missed call dari seseorang yg tidak dikenal..Begitu diangkat saya mendengar jeritan cewe..Begitu juga dengan teman2 saya yg pake AXIS..Jadi sebelum terlambat,jangan pake AXIS"

> > > pliz jangan pake kartu AXIS ya..Karna AXIS adalah kartu setan..

> > > sekali u pake,data u bisa dilacak sama mereka 'n u gak bisa lepaz dari mereka..

> > > PLIZ FORWARD INI KE TEMEN2 KAMU..

> > > CUKUP FORWARD AJA,KAMU UDA NYELAMATIN BANYAK JIWA...

> > > Take Care

Mari kita analysis satu persatu kalimatnya:
> > > KARTU AXIS SEKARANG SUDAH BEREDAR LOH! DAN SUDAH BISA DI TEMUI DI SEMUA COUNTER HP TERDEKAT,KARTU INI AMAT SANGAT MURAH MELEBIHI CDMA&GSM YANG LAINNYA!!

Kalimat pertama ini sudah merupakan slogan marketing untuk mempromosikan kartu axis sebagai kartu termurah dan telah tersedia dimana-mana. Mungkin banyak orang tidak sadar akan hal ini. Ini adalah teknik marketing dgn cara brainwashing tanpa kita sendiri menyadarinya. jadi hati2 saat membaca sesuatu.

Kalimat kedua :
BOUT!! JANGAN DI BELI APA LAGI SAMPE DI PAKE!! WHY??.. COZ KARTU INI MENDUKUNG PENGERAKAN GEREJA SETAN!!!

> > > SEMUA TARIF NYA DI MULAI DARI ANGKA 6 DAN NAMANYA SAJA 'AXIS'YANG KEBALIKAN DARI SIXA/SIX

> > > YANG ARTINYA "ANTI KRISTUS"(ANTI TUHAN)

Kalimat ini kelihatannya seperti mengajak orang untuk tidak membeli kartu axis. tetapi sesungguhnya kalimat ini secara tidak langsung memancing keingintahuan kita tentang kartu axis dengan cara mengait2kannya dengan anti kristen six A. (angka 666 di kristen adalah angka bagi anti kristus) Dan saya sangat percaya klaim mereka tentang axis= six a itu tidak benar. Masa setiap ada angka 6 di asosiasikan ama anti kristus? kalau begitu semua anak yg lahir tanggal 6 juni 2006(6-06-06) itu anti kristus juga? (bagaimana mungkin? alkitab kristen bilank anti kristus dengan no 666 cuma 1 org)
Sebagai tambahan, ahli2 sekarang saja masih memperdebatkan angka 666 ini karena temuan terbaru ternyata angka itu salah terjemahan, seharusnya angka itu 616.

Kalimat ketiga :
PLIZZ PESAN INI JANGAN SAMPAI PUTUS SEBARKAN KE SEMUAA TEMEN,SAHABAT,KELUARGA DAN SEMUA ORANG! SATU PESAN MENYELAMATKAN 1 JIWA!

Ini dia teknik marketing dengan alih2 chain mail. Orang2 yg forward email ini hanya orang2 yg mudah tertipu daya ato masi baru. Seperti di friendster atau msn ada chain mail yg bilang bahwa acc kita akan di tutup kalau tidak forward emailnya.

Kalimat ke empat :

> > > JANGAN BELI YACH KALO KITA BELI SAMA SAJA KITA MEMBIARKAN SETAN LEBIH LELUASA BEKERJA..

Sekali lagi ini memprovokasi kita tidak membelinya. sesungguhnya orang yg benar2 tidak ingin membeli hanya lah penganut kristen fundamentalis dan di Indonesia yg mayoritas islam, pasti banyak orang yg tertarik untuk menyelidiki kebenarannya. Bukan bermaksud mengatakan bahwa penganut kristen tidak significant hanya jika di bandingkan dengan penganut islam kristen lebih sedikit.

kalimat ke lima :

> > > SATU LAGI KABARNYA KARTU TERSEBUT TERDAPAT CHIP YANG DAPAT MENDETEKSI KITA KEMANA SAJA KITA PERGI!!

> > > DAN MEREKA BISA TAU SEBERAPA BANYAK ANAK-ANAK TUHAN YESUS YANG DAPAT DI JADIKAN PENGIKUTNYA!! JUGA PARA PENGIKUTNYA

> > > THX FOR U ATT -JBU-

Sesungguhnya semua kartu GSM bisa di lacak signalnya melalui satelit jadi ini merupakan hal yg wajar. Jadi jangan di bohongin oleh klaim2 tidak berdasar.

kalimat ke enam

> > > U pada tau dunx kartu AXIS dengan slogan "GSM YG BAIK"??

> > > Yg ada iklan'na di TV yg bilang SMS ke smua operator cuman Rp60/SMS 'n 600/telp ke smua operator..

> > > Pliz..Tolong forward ke temen2 kamu..Jangan pake Axis..

> > > Karna disinyalir kartu itu mendukung Gereja Setan..

> > > Dengan ciri2: sampul'na warna putih,ada gariz ungu 'n orange,ada gambar orang loncat,'n banyak angka 6..

Hmm... Promosi lage...

kalimat pengakuan orang :

> > > Kesaksian seorang pemakai kartu AXIS -Robi dngn nomor 08666426454..

Waduh ini untuk menarik orang2 yg tertarik dengan dunia mistis membeli kartu axis. Penjualan ini kartu ini akan melonjak tinggi. Satu bukti, dulu ada no telp, saya sendiri tidak begitu ingat berapa no nya, yang jika kita telepon akan terdengar suara cewek menjerit "hihihihi...". Alhasil, setelah saya dan temen mengetahuinya kita masing2 mencoba meneleponnya karna keingintahuan. Ini memank teknik marketing yg lihai dan licik.

kalimat selanjutnya :

> > > pliz jangan pake kartu AXIS ya..Karna AXIS adalah kartu setan..

> > > sekali u pake,data u bisa dilacak sama mereka 'n u gak bisa lepaz dari mereka..

semua kartu juga bisa di lacak jika dalam keadaan aktif, hanya membutuhkan sistem yg lebih maju seperti di US, jepang, hongkong dan negara2 maju lainnya. kalo indonesia saya belum tau.

kalimat selanjutnya :

> > > PLIZ FORWARD INI KE TEMEN2 KAMU..

> > > CUKUP FORWARD AJA,KAMU UDA NYELAMATIN BANYAK JIWA...

> > > Take Care

Suruh kita bantu promosiiin lage.

Cape dech....

Kesimpulan :
Email2 ini hanyalah perkerjaan orang-orang yg tidak bertanggung jawab. atau ada kemungkinan besar dari cara penyusunan email seperti yg di bahas di atas, merupakan teknik marketing terselubung. Jadi saran saya, jika membaca sesuatu, teliti terlebih dahulu, jangan terpengaruh oleh klaim2 tidak berdasar. N beritahu teman2 anda tidak perlu menyebarkan email2 yg tidak berbobot ini lage.

Random Thought

2008-04-26T13:08:00.002+08:00

I used to dream that i could one day soar beyond the sky,
Just spread my wings n fly away

One day i found a magic powder
that could make me a superhuman
that could make me fly

I used to dream that with this powder i could be the best
Soar to the day, fly to the night
Lived for thousands of years

Unfortunately, while i am flying,
rain come down the sky
and wash away all of the powder
i felt down and landed hard on the ground
Limping and wounded by the fall
daren't i dream big again

Three years have passed,
I was wondering through the jungle
Without any dream, without any wish

One day, a bright light penetrated my eyes
I walk towards it
Without wanting to have it

From far distance i begin to open my eyes bigger
what a beautiful view,
A heavenly instrument
I walk there and exalted it

I stayed there for a few months
To later i realized that it has resurrect my dreams
I have been watching for so long
and i believe that this instrument could make me fly
soar beyond the sky

But i still daren't wear it
one day, the light of the instrument started to overcast
I decided to try and wear it
To realized my dreams

When i tried to wear it,
i could fly through a certain latitudes
soon, thunderstorm come and struck me
while i was flying below the sky ;
couldn't fly high because of my heavy weight

I was struck and felt down to a dark and hollow valley
Sitting inside it for years to come
I daren't dream big again
I was sitting there for life

...

One day a bright light penetrated my eyes
I woke up from my sleep
Thinking that i was still in the deep valley
but only to realize that i have arrived at my real world
woke up from all the dreams

Have i???

Want To Study But End Up on Facebook

2008-04-12T23:19:00.001+08:00

SIM-UOL Main Exam is coming soon but i haven't start studying seriously. Economics and Principles of Sociology is the subject that i feared the most.

Nine months ago when i started my Diploma in Economics course at SIM UOL, I heard that Sociology is the most dreadful subject but later i found out that i end up struggling for Introduction to Economics too. Preliminary exam result for economics has just out today. Although my score was 52, which is considered good enough for preliminary result, i found out later that my script was actually not marked by Amoz Wilztum which is UOL Main Exam Examiner. He got mentioned earlier that he actually give some of the prelim exam paper to his friend for marking. and he also stated that the marks for those marked by his friends if marked by him, shall be divided by 8. die...

Sociology result has yet to come. I have been so anxiously waiting for it. waiting so see how bad i scored at the prelim...

because of this two subject, i have planned to study hard for this one month so that i can do well in the main exam. But days after days i have end up playing facebook application, heroes, poker, black jack, and battle station. I have becomed addicted to facebook.

I know it is not a right thing to do. I need to control my self, clear my mind, and stay focussed on my aim.

I realized that i should stay focussed from all the temptation from all around me due to some incident that happened on my way back from dinner. I was standing looking blank musing of what my life has gone through in the past, and what will it become in the future. I was thinking whether my past has some sweet memories left or whether i will ever taste sweet moments in the future. Then, a flash of light let me see the name of the condo that i lived in. Suddenly i realized and quickly push the bell so that the bus driver know that he need to stop. From this incident, i know that if i do not stay focussed i might not only be left uneasy in the bus, but i won't have reached my destination. Of course, in the bus story i can easily abroad at next stop and take another bus or walk back to my destination. But in life is different things, time will never tick backwards, life will go on no matter what happened.

Today's Hastiness for nothing

2008-04-07T12:01:00.004+08:00

Last night was the last night i spent with my Parents before they returning to Indonesia. They came to Singapore to attend my second brother Graduation Ceremony at the same time visiting me. They came at 4th april and depart back to Indonesia at 7th April Morning. Yesterday, we initially want to eat bak kut teh at Ranggoon Rd (my father's friend introduce him to this place) but unfortunately it has close for it only opened until 3 pm. Then the taxi driver said near there got one famous bak kut teh also at balestier rd and we agree to go there. When we arrived there was a number of people queuing up in front of the restaurant. To my amazement, after we enter the restaurant, i saw many pictures featuring mostly taiwanese superstar with the owner. The superstar included Emil Chow, Chow yun fat, Jaycee chan, 5566, Sian ge, khang2, jay chow and many more. There is also quite a number of singaporean superstar in those photos which was arranged randomly on all of the wall.

After that we go home and have a good rest because my parents flight was on the morning at 6.45, so they need to wake up early to catch the flight.

After sending them to the taxi. i went back to my bed again feeling so sleepy. When i woke up, i saw the sun was so bright and i suddenly remember that i have a class at 1 pm. I get out of my bed quickly and see my alarm clock pointing at 1.15 pm. I was shocked and went to have a quick bath. When i finished bathing, i check my alarm clock again, It still pointing at 1.15 pm. "it's a bit weird", i thought. Then i check the clock on my TV and "witnessed" that it was only 9.30 am. "huh...", i said. What a memorable incident.

In the past few months, quite a number of my friends relationship broke up. If i count there are at least 3 pairs who are in danger in this past 3 months. I do not know what happened to them but i hope all the best for them.

Inspired by those events, i started to think what are the causes of problems in the world. Here i just want to share my view although i know i am not a great thinker or philosopher or theorist.

These past two days i keep thinking what is the real causes of problems and from my basic reading at Sociology text book, i concluded that almost 80% of the problems is this world arises due to misinterpretation or misunderstanding or (a more sociological terms) mis-verstehen while the rest was caused by the struggle for hegemony or predomination.

Tiring to chat???

2008-04-01T00:10:00.005+08:00

Today, i chat in msn messenger with two girls. Really tiring.... hahaha... one asked me to join Christianity and explain the same thing which i have heard lots of time. She keep asking me some "trap" questions such as, "why you avoiding Jesus?" or "are you scared" or " i feel so joyful since i now jesus. Repent now...". if you answer such question, you will end up getting trapped. so i choose not to answer.

I have tried to explain to her, "not that i do not believe in Jesus" but this world is not a two dimension, this is the world of 3 dimension or even 4 dimension world, you can not say that you have the absolute true. Everything depends on your point of view. God might be an absolute truth, but your conception of God surely are man made. Your concept of God are made through the process of interpreting bible and Christianity rises at that time to attacked catholicism and their ritual. It is not handed down by God to you, but it was created by a charismatic leader who can make you belief of what he belief.

I also admit one human nature, people select what they belief, no matter what i said she will not digest it, she is just waiting till i said something wrong and took that point to attacked back. Though i feel a bit disappointed cause she is not answering my question but stating that "Jesus love you" for every question. This is an act of brainwashing indirectly. And Christianity often used this kind of act.

I know what i said will have little or even zero effect on her stance. I do not wish her to convert as she had got the feeling of happiness in her religion. I just do not want her to end up being an extremist or fundamentalist. If you want to spread your religion, teach only your God's teachings and do not spread religion by attacking, mocking, ridicule or even make fun of other religion. It is not the way... People who changed heart because of your ridicules or mocks was the people who has no strong stance while the people who have moderate mentality will remain unmoved.

i have met many of people like this trying to convert people by making fun of others religion. Although i have rebuffed their statement they still stay unmoved, this means they have already been brain washed. one example, another guy told me a story that being told at his church. The priest said that he read a book written by a former buddhist monk who convert to Christian. The monks claim that during his deep meditation, he visited hell and saw there a guy being punished severely. Then the monks asked the hell officer who the guy is. the officer said that he is the well known Siddartha Gautama, he was punished here because he do not follow Jesus's teachings. Then after the monk returned from hell, he immediately convert to Christianity.

Then I replied, why don't you asked your priest, "How can siddartha follow Jesus teachings for he was born before Jesus even come to the world?" This one simple statement clearly show that he priest right now is going "wild". I am not saying all priest but at least some of my friend's priest definitely gone "wild" by creating "blind consciousness" to devotee. Even though my friend admit that his priest definitely got it wrong, but he still believe in the priest.

I have tried to ask them to just step out of the box and see the world, also see your religion from many point of view. then you decide if you feel good about it, you are free to step into the box again. but nevertheless, my words are like winds and nobody would like to listen to me because i nobody to them. Imagine if i was standing in the podium as their priest. They will definitely listen.

Tired2... World is changing too fast that makes us hard to get a good grip of it. "blind consciousness" is everywhere. But please remember that i am not anti Christian but some priest (not the religion but priest), use a faulty act, use some unlogic example like the one above, and create a "blind consciousness."

Then the second girl asked me to explain Sociology. then i just playing with her by saying that to learn sociology you must first fall in love with Karl Marx. After a while you realized that he is not the right man for you because he is too materialistic and has a unrealizedable dream to reach communism utopia. You dumped him. Soon you also get know with somebody called Max Weber. but in the opposite direction, you find Weber too pesimistic and talk only no action(idealist). You also dumped him. Then you started to stop searching for boyfriend and begin to think for your own future. You want to be success, means you need to work or set up a company. To work in a company or set up a company, you need to know how things work. then you started to study Organization theory, scientific management, human relations, your ex-weber's concept of bureaucracy, fayol theory and many more. Then you set up a company, your company become a huge success and you start to think big and even bigger. You want your company to conquer the world. So you start to globalized your company and hence, came the theory of globalization. At that time, there are 3 types of person, first, those who said you can not achieve "Globalization"(sceptics), second, the person who said you have already achieve it (Hyperglobalist), and the third, people who come in the middle who said that you are "globalizing".(transformationalist).

This is a short story of Sociology that i told her. haha... whether what i said is valid or not i do not know cause i also not really good at Sociology. Hopefully, it is valid.

Realizing i am no more kids

2008-03-31T00:48:00.002+08:00

Used to playing with everything. Speaking bombastically every time without even thinking about what i am saying. History had written down how many people that was averse me because of what i am saying. Actually i never meant to hurt anybody, maybe because people misinterpret my meanings. Sometimes people says that my jokes has crossed over the line. I usually do not care about what people think about me. But these past few months as i would said as my "hermitage" months has give me an initiative. I need to change. I know somebody is anti to the word change due to their conservative nature but to me, changing is one of the key features that makes humanity evolves mentally and physically.

Life is not going forever, at least until know still no concrete proof of eternal life, that's why we need to behave. One mistakes could ruin our all life. One wrong steps we might even fall into deep dark valley and could never come back to surface.

Love

2008-03-16T13:52:00.002+08:00

What is exactly the meaning of love?

Love is a simple word consists of four letters. Dictionary dot com defined love as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. If i were to answer what is love, i honestly said "i do not know."

Love is a word that can turned people upside down, turned human into beast, beast into human, turn good into bad, bad into good, life into death and death into life.

Love changed life of many people, no matter they believed it or not.

But now, i am getting paranoid everytime i heard the word love. Why? i also donot know...
maybe because love has turned me down, turned me into beast, turned me into bad, turned me into death... as now i couldnot feel anything anymore... Heartless...
