1. Be with You
Ngga’ bisa lupa adanya lagu ini terkait hari2 pertamaku di Perth. I remember it on the first Monday of my time there, just rite after I was left by my parents to start on a new journey in my life. After take bus routes here and there for the whole day, I thought of concluding it with a trip to the inet cafe just rite besides my hotel. And to my surprise, BoA just released her latest single. Download it I did, and . . . being a soothing slow ballad, it marked my first of the lonesome days in downunder...
2. Sunadokei
Okay . . . it was around november to December when I first heard this song. What was I doing? Well . . . just nothing daily asides taking my nihongo courses, watching dramas and fooling around, waiting for my time in ozzy would come. The good song prompted me to buy its physical album when I went to Jakarta on December 2007, which I also met Donny & Syarif at Solaria Thamrin.
3. Ignite
If there was one time in my bachelor days where I did achieve and enjoy a high score, it was on the 5th semester. After foolinh around for the first 2 years, I finally got to notion that I’m a real college student. On the other thing, I attended two classes of a middle ages guy. Turned out to be thrilling as not only the class approach was friendly, I managed to end up the semester with the highest GP of all my entire study period . . . 3.33 . . . first and last :p
4. Gracious Days
Mantep dach . . . . sik tas tuku albume BoA sing MIT, langsung kena gejala tipes slama 2 minggu. Akhire rong minggu pikiran ra kuat dinggo garep skripsi. Pas wes mari lorone, langsung tancep gas mendem ning kamar rong minggu non stop ngetik ditemani lagu2 tekan album MIT. Dibilang kesel yo kesel, tapi jangan tanya rasa puasnya . . . . bener2 mantep iso marekno kabeh bab 4 hanya dalam 2 minggu setelah kena masalah di metpen, ngebut nggolek responden dan kena sakit pula.
5. Pelukis Malam
Sik tas mari lulus SMP, kepikiran arep dolan ning omah dulurku ning sby. Pertama kali ngine mrono, uonkep dan akeh nyamuke sing langsung entuk. Selain itu, rasanya lumayan bisa tau sisi kehidupan lain dari Indonesia, karena ketika itu yang kuketahui hanya ja tkarta thok. As for the song, pertama denger pas lagi bantu2 mas dedy di rumahnya. Asik dan gimana gitu. Little did i realize it was gonna be a start of a whole lot of things in my life, well . . . at least for the next decade . . .
6. Thanks for the memories
Sungguh ngga bisa ngga inget lagu ini begitu pas mau brangkat ke Perth. Hanya rasa trima kasih yang bisa diucapkan atas segala masa2 indah terutama 8 bulan menjelang keberangkatan. Ketika itu, sungguh aku ngga’ tau kapan aku bisa ngunjungin Indo, so I kinda though that it might be quite some while before my next visit.

The A-Z of modern Life (Part 1)
Android (A)
Naaah. . . this ain’t a robot. Well . . . its sorta, but just on the picture, one little green robot that is able to rock the world of mobile communication. Being the an open source mobile OS launched in 2009, it now is one of the fastest growing OS in the world, rivaling the iOS used in iPhones.
What makes this OS special is its openness. Being an open source, it makes people to easily tweak and do anything to it even to then codings of the software, not something you can do to a proprietary OS like Symbian or iOS. And the growing number of apps on the market speaks of it self as how many and many people are flocking to use this thing.
If you may think its gonna blow a hole on yer wallet, think again. As an open source (again), phone developers have the ability to customize it to the phone specs. By doing so, even small spec mobiles are able to use this green dude. The only difference comes in speed of processing due to spec limitation. So, you don’t need to worry about blowing your savings to get one of these.
Blogger (B)
One of those famous blogging sites out there, makes life easier when you have to tell out your thoughts and ideas on the net in words. Though i’ld personally think the tweaking for our blogs are kinds hard and with limited choices, it still free though :p. And most of all, it’s owned by google, so your pretty much integrated with all other google services which makes things easier if your gonna matchem up with other services like youtube and mail maybe.
Detik (D)
A long time news portal from Indonesia. Delivering updated news second by second as the name implies. Not juts ordinary news, but all kind of news, from politics, economy, social, celebrities, tech, sports and health, just name it lah. Really useful if your pretty lazy on browsing other news sources as it compiles most of the news available from very much point of views.
Facebook (F)
Ok . . . who hasn’t has a facebook? The biggest social network site in the world has put its claws in Indonesia around 2009-2010 perhaps. Surpassing myspace and the now morfed friendster, it sure has become one helluva giant. But thumbs up really goes to Mark Zuckerberg who always brings out something new for facebook. Not only as a social network, but we are able to chat, do e-mails game online. In Indonesia, it also has become some kind of a marketing tool to sell goods here & there.
However, it really goes back to its basic function, connecting people. Finding long lost friends from the past are way simpler nowadays, as long as they aren’t completely of the grid. Also communicating with people as human get more mobile nowadays is also made fun with the comment function on the wall. Privacy? I guess this is where facebook wins as we are able to set the privacy perimeters, one things its predecessors lacked.
Google (G)
The ultimate search engine that everyone would refer too. News has it that even some people already consider it as a god due to its massive abilities, from just a search engine, to maps, translator and so on. It now even has created the open source android OS for mobile phones. For me personally, its one of those few things nowadays that really has made a huge impact on how we do things daily. You can almost find any thing on google. As they say . . . just google it :D.
iPod (I)
Pot e pot . . . . the revolusionary gadget that changed the music, computer and mobile industry. Its sleek design and breakthrough features have followed on to its other siblings such as the iPhone and iPad. But for the iPod itself, listening to music has changed lately. Not only making it more compact, but also how you get it over the web. Still awaiting other related “i” things from apple ;)
Kaskus (K)
As the tagline says . . . the biggest forum in Indonesia. It surely does live of to its name. Hosting hundreds of dozen of threads from everything all across Indonesia and areas that have Indonesians, kaskus now is even transforming itself to a e-commerce hub with its FJB. Sorta of a localized version of ebay, its more of an online meeting point. Despite still sounding manual compared to ebay and other counterpart, its still one of the most used and famous places to buy and sell online in Indonesia.
Mozilla (M)
The fox that’s chewing IE slowly. Well, it still has other competitors like Opera and the new Chrome. But for me, mozilla’s still number 1 ;). Its getting more sleek in terms of design and also quicker. Moreover, the menu for me is quite similar to IE, hence I don’t have to bother adapting myself to the other words in the menu’s of other browsers :p.

Deployment Chronicles~Risk Administration (Middle Market)
Up i go to the third floor again. And for another first time, I’m confined in a room, specifically for the middle market risk unit, one sort of an autonomous unit under the RAD. Why I say autonomous, is because all the unit here, like CMU and OMU, aren’t really related to each other asides the fact that they both control risks. Hence, its sort of odd when they all seldom interact with each other as their work requires little so.
As it says market, its somehow of a policeman towards what the treasury does. So, its kinda more close of a relationship to the dealing room compared to the others. The benefit? Often gettin free meals and snack when any of the dealers are having an occasion. Sort of inviting some jealousy from the other units :D.
The first days here, were not only on dealing with learning the ins and outs of the place, it was more on swifting my mindset. Having been six month in the ops departments, my mindset was kinda set at having to help out others with their work ASAP. And since it was more practical and physical, it didn’t take long for us to do so. But in the middle office, we had to have a better grip of the work, the products, and the workflow. So we couldn’t just rashly go and help others. We had to move at a sure but steady pace.
So for the first weeks, I was almost left with nothing real to do asides attaching myself to one of the staffs, learning, asking and taking notes on what they were doing. Asides so, I was also left learning the treasury products, which to be honest, have some twist in them. This hindered us from understanding them quickly. It wasn’t until the second month there that I finally had the chance to do some real work, still under the supervision of a senior staff.
It was around March or so, that i finally had the chance to do the work with almost no direct supervising. As time moved on, I was given the chance to learn other duties. On several occasions, I was also given the chance to contact other staff to discuss certain aspects of work. All these slowly build up my knowledge and guts in work interaction.
But what excites me in this unit, is the fact that you get the chance to know things of the front offices work, without having the need to handle it first time. It’s useful as a stepping stone and as a learning process, since you mostly have the time to get use of things by yourself. This is the case for most middle office deployments like KYC/AML, RMD and PIP.
One another side, the time here in the MMU, i gained a lot of weight, all to the likings of the staffs there who really like to snack and dine out. I guess that’s what happens when most of the staffs are women -_________-;. Another thing is that I managed to travel in a consecutive 4 months, to Singapore, Jogja (2x), and Malang. But
I guess this was due to to piling boredom of working in middle office. Its the routine that often kills.
Anyway, that’s almost all on my time there. New place new things, I guess that what I’m gonna face when entering my new office. See ya next time ;-).

Deployment Chronicles~Operation Departments
Just a sudden idea, the thought of writing down my experiences over the past deployments. 4 rounds in 1 year. Time does flies. With 6 months in operations, 4 month start in middle. Not to mention the 2 months training in the start, its as if we’re already veterans having gulpped so much things over those time. The writing here will go on till the very last round. It’ll be 2 for starters. The first one i thought to summarized it as each operation round was just 2 months.
Foreign remittance for starters. In between July till September, things were where job started. Had a rocky start since my body had to adapt, experiencing nose bleeds till typhoid. The work itself was really stamina stretching as we often had to work till seven. And for info, the office hours are officially till 4.30 pm :p.
The co workers, though most of them were middle aged, were really helpful in lending a hand with our first time in office. Though just seem about remitting foreign money, this the start of where we got to know the ins and outs of banking. It was also here that I experienced my first ramadhan since working, another new feeling asides having it in aussie for the last two years before.
After having a half month extension, I moved on to the new round. Originally to Deposit, things changed a week before with a sudden announcement that I was placed at Credit service.Ok . . . that’s gonna be around 4 units in just two month. Another lot of things to handle. Lucky or not, I didn’t managed to get a taste of all units till the very end. Only managed to be in the loan unit with a few trips of learning at the bank guarantee unit. Export and import units were left untouched. This also happened to my co TRP mates who were deployed there.
Under staffing was mostly the main cause. Hence, I couldn’t let myself ho to other units while my current one was bleeding with less people. Nevertheless, it was at this place that i managed to get a more broader perspective of other banking areas. As the unit was mainly about executing loan transactions, its was mostly about credits and their basics. Also i had the first time to interact with staffs from the second floor where main business activities were usually carried out.
The work itself was kinda detailed and involving loads of paper work. And as a loan fighter, I had to quickly summarized them soon to be able to act as a helping hand to the current unit. Time flew and finally I was getting a grip on things by the third week. By the end of my time here, we also had to prepare for our performance at the Branch Seminar. Having to dance Beyonce’s Single ladies, trust me . . . that’s gonna be my first and last shameful performance in front of a huge crowd -________-;
Third round . . . account service. Back to the first floor. The place was rite besides the foreign remittance. This is one of the slow and laxiest department in operations, as you normally get to home at around 5-6 pm on normal days. This place has a lot of things to study, which are not as intertwined with each others. They involve preparing fax remittances, account maintenance, and petty cash execution. As being one of the laxiest, thing were kinda a tand slow at start, having to figure out what the hell to do. I even had one day were I managed to do nothing but just reading manuals and procedures.
But that was just one day. The next was simultaneous periods of working as ai got to know the know hows. It was here that we finally got to plan our TRP first major get away to singapore for the upcoming months in middle and front office. With christmast and new years passing by, all of a sudden, we already had our operations past by.
Though only half a year, I believe our time in this place really helped us set a foot in the office. It also serves to mold our attitudes and mindset to our work. Next stop would be te middle/front office, where new things are bound for us . . . were no TRP has gone before . . .

Ngemal sampe Gempor!! (Part 2)
1.Grand Indonesia
Mal yangs super duper nyempil ditengah kesumpekan Jakarta. But then, ini mal emang salag satu yang berkelas, dalam artian lokasi, isi dan namanya. Dibagi west and east mal, ni mall bener2 bisa bikin betah siapa aja yang da didalamnya secara ada semua yang elo cari. Cuma sayangnya ya ni mall memang ngarahnya sih ke kalangan kelas atas. Satu lagi, lokasinya itu lhoh . . . bener2 bikin harus berjuang kalo mo kesana. Kalo ngga’ kena macet duluan karena harus ngantri-tri melewati jalan kesana yang kecil2 :(.
2.Plaza Indonesia+EX Plaza
Tetangga tua-nya GI dan kakaknya EX Plaza, ni mall menurut gw bener mal butik. Secara isinya butik2 dengan barang2 yang harganya dah bikin sakit hati duluan. Dah gitu ngga’ ada food court . . . ualamaaakkk. Untung ada sodaranya mudanya yang dihubungkan dengan jembata kecil dibelakang kedutaan jepang. Cuman ya itu, berhub sasaran tetep middle to high end, toko2nya pun ya nayamul larang regone . . . Cuma at least di EX elo masih bisa main bowling n makan fast food yang masih terjangkau lah :D
3.FX Plaza
Mal yang anti nongkrong kalo kata temen2 gw. Secara klo elo mo nongkrong, kata mereka sich harus ada food court jadi bisa berlama2. Sayangnya, tempat ini ngga ada 1 pun tempat itu. Gantinya . . . malah banyak resto2 dengan harga yang dah bikin perut mules duluan bayangin harganya. Emang sich, konsep ni mal bagus n funky banget secara katanya dibangun dengan konsep fashion. Tapi ya itu dia . . . gw rasa bagus ngga’ nya urusan fashion emang berbanding lurus dengan harga2 yang tercantum padanya . . .
4.Pacific Place
Namanya bener2 unik . . . secara menurut gw bener2 bernuansa bule banget. Lokasi bener2 downtown deket ama perkantoran, cocok bagi bisnis man n women yang ingin shoppin n hangout habis kerja. Palagi emang tetangganya IDX, udah deh. Puas2 mainin saham, foya2 deh disni. Sama kaya FX, nih tempat kagak ada food court.Jadi siap2 aja merogoh kocek lebih dalem kalo emang mo nongkrong disni.
5. Taman Anggrek
Salah satu mal tua. Dah gw kunjungin sejak masih SMP. Tempat sih bener strategis. Saking strategisnya ampe2 bikin macet disekitarnya :)). Besarnya itu merupakan salah satu mal superblock di Jakarta seinget gw. Not much to say bout ths place. Mirip ama Sency. Sayangnya lokasinya yg bikin macet dah bikin ilfil mo kesana duluan. Berhub yang bisa dicari disana bisa didapatkan dengan lebih deket dengan tempat gw, jadinya dah ngga’ sesering dulu kesana.

Ngemal sampe Gempor!! (Part 1)
1. Sency
Singkatan dari Senayan City, mall terdekat dari rumah gw :D. Melihat ukurannya, emang pantes banget dibilang city, secara selain mal, juga ada apartemen dan perkantoran. Terdapat banyak toko2 kelas dunia from A to Z, just mention it. Dilengkapi foodcourt n bioskop XXI, dijamin bisa betah deh :p. Paling yang kurang yakni ngga’ adanya underpass ke mal depannya yakni PS juga ukuran toko buku yang kurang besar dibandingkan ukuran mal-nya sendiri.
2. Plaza Senayan
Ibarat kaca, mungkin PS ini merupakan cermin langsung dari Sency karena letaknya yang hadap2an. Mal yang cukup lama berdiri, sejak 1997-1998 kalo ngga’ salah. Dulu berasa banget bosennya di mal ini berhubung yang ada cuma butik2 kelas dunia yang liat harganya aja dah biki sakit hati. Sekarang dah lumayan lah. Gw pribadi ke sini paling kalo da perlu ke Metro n ke Kinokuniya. Andai ngga’ ada 2 toko ini, kayanya bisa jarang banget gw kesini.
3. Pondok Indah Mall
I’ld reckon this one to be one of the oldest mall’s in Jakarta. And until now, its still one of the largest in the southern parts of Jakarta. Dulu adanya cuma 1 gedung PIM doang, sekarang dah ada pengembangan di depannya dengan nama PIM2. Dengan letak yang strategis n dilewati jalur busway, mal ini bener2 bisa dikatakan one of the best malls to me. All you can find here lah ;-).
4. ITC Permata Hijau
Levelnya n tampilan sih kelas matos, tapi gw ngga’ akan meremehkan yang ini. Selain deket, tempat ini juga jadi tujuan belanja sehari2 secara ada Carrefour yang harganya lebih bersahabat dibandingkan foodhall yang ada di mal2 diatas. Paling yang kurang di tempat ini cuma ngga’ ada toko buku (ada sih tapi macem tak niat tampilannya @.@) n bioskop. Other tan that, menurut gw tempat ini cukup decent lah :).
5. Gandaria City
The new kid on the block!! Another superblock mall yang hadir deket rumah gw. Besarnya mungkin bisa dikatakan setara ama Sency kayanya. Begitu pula dengan fasilitas2 n hiburan yang ada didalam, really what you would expect from a modern day supermal. However, tempat ini masih kurang dalam beberapa aspek. Jalurnya yang berada pada jalur macet (ruas jalan arteri pondok indah) kadang bikin agak males kesana. Trus tuk urusan foodcourt, cara bayarnya lumayan ribet gara2 pake kartu prabayar :-S

2. Plaza Senayan
Ibarat kaca, mungkin PS ini merupakan cermin langsung dari Sency karena letaknya yang hadap2an. Mal yang cukup lama berdiri, sejak 1997-1998 kalo ngga’ salah. Dulu berasa banget bosennya di mal ini berhubung yang ada cuma butik2 kelas dunia yang liat harganya aja dah biki sakit hati. Sekarang dah lumayan lah. Gw pribadi ke sini paling kalo da perlu ke Metro n ke Kinokuniya. Andai ngga’ ada 2 toko ini, kayanya bisa jarang banget gw kesini.
3. Pondok Indah Mall
I’ld reckon this one to be one of the oldest mall’s in Jakarta. And until now, its still one of the largest in the southern parts of Jakarta. Dulu adanya cuma 1 gedung PIM doang, sekarang dah ada pengembangan di depannya dengan nama PIM2. Dengan letak yang strategis n dilewati jalur busway, mal ini bener2 bisa dikatakan one of the best malls to me. All you can find here lah ;-).
4. ITC Permata Hijau
Levelnya n tampilan sih kelas matos, tapi gw ngga’ akan meremehkan yang ini. Selain deket, tempat ini juga jadi tujuan belanja sehari2 secara ada Carrefour yang harganya lebih bersahabat dibandingkan foodhall yang ada di mal2 diatas. Paling yang kurang di tempat ini cuma ngga’ ada toko buku (ada sih tapi macem tak niat tampilannya @.@) n bioskop. Other tan that, menurut gw tempat ini cukup decent lah :).
5. Gandaria City
The new kid on the block!! Another superblock mall yang hadir deket rumah gw. Besarnya mungkin bisa dikatakan setara ama Sency kayanya. Begitu pula dengan fasilitas2 n hiburan yang ada didalam, really what you would expect from a modern day supermal. However, tempat ini masih kurang dalam beberapa aspek. Jalurnya yang berada pada jalur macet (ruas jalan arteri pondok indah) kadang bikin agak males kesana. Trus tuk urusan foodcourt, cara bayarnya lumayan ribet gara2 pake kartu prabayar :-S
Surviving in Oz
Ok . . . maybe gw kangen belakangan ama hidup gw setahun lalu di ozzy . . . sampe bikin blog kedua dalam beberapa hari ini tentang oz. Hanya saja . . . daripada mendem aja di otak, gw pikir ditulis aja, daripada ada ide bagus tapi malah g dipublish. Keburu jadi fosil di utekku nanti :p
Eniwei, its all bout what made me survived in Ozzy. Well, pastinya beda2 tiap orang, but then again, its just an illustration of I could do back then during those 2 years. Lets see . . .
1. Yahoo Messenger
First things first, gw harus berterima kasih ama di sopwer. Tanpa ini, bisa jadi gw bakal malah membusuk ato berevolusi jadi orang aborijin. Karena adanya ini, gw bisa tetep keep in touch ama temen2 n keluarga gw di ozzy. Di ozzy pun, adanya ini bisa membuat gw lebih leluasa ngebahas soal di kala g bisa kopdar karena hal2 lain. Dan 1 lagi yg gw suka . . . pake YM pu bisa disambi dengan ngerjain tugas (kcuali emang bener2 butuh konsen lho yo :p). Bener2 gw harus bersyukur dah ada sopwer ini. Really can’t imagine life would be without n
2. Internet
Tentu kalo pengen bisa YM-an, harus ada inet :p. Tapi terlepas dari YM, inet sendiri juga memainkan peran signifikan dalam upaya gw bertahan hidup. Gw masih inget hari2 pertama gw disana tanpa adanya koneksi, sumpah . . . . hambar nan hampa! Masih untung ada warnet yg bisa gw datangin sampe saat gw subscribe koneksi. Selain gw bisa update dengan berita2 n memudahkan dikala harus ngerjain tugas, yang paling gw suka adalah bandwithnya yg melimpah ruah !!. Ngga’ punya kampus, kos2an atopun pribadi, sumpeh . . . . 2 tahun gw jadi bandwith monster dan tak terhitung brapa banyak DVD yang gw hasilkan tuk backup data2 yang dah gw donlot . . . mulai dari BoA, laruku, manga, anime sampe drama. Just imagine . . .unlimited di kos, 7gb pribadi n 1 gb di kampus (sempet unlimited c dulunya :p). Sungguh . . . . masa2 indah yang entah kan terulang lagi . . . . .
3. Pecel
Panganan ndeso nan ngangeni >:D< . Resep pertama yang gw bawa dari Indonesia dan bahkan sempet pula bikin gw batal masuk ozzy gara2 dipermasalahkan ama petugas imigrasi :)). Begitu yg dari indo dah habis, alhamdulillah ternyata disini pun banyak yang jual bumbu pecel. Dan yang bikin gw semakin bangga . . . . itu bumbu bikinan MALANG!!! Subhanallah . . . . jan hidup AREMA . . . g kemana2 ada dimana yeahh !!! Eniwei. Mangan lecep iki jan nggarakno awak iki rasane koyo mulih kampung ae, muantap vokoke :D
4. Casual Work
Okay . . . to be honest, walo kliatan capek, gw saranin banget tuk bisa kerja di luar. Emang sih bakal harus pinter2 ngatur waktu, tenaga n pikiran dengan kuliah kita. But trust me, the benefits are way bigger if you are able to manage things properly. Yang pasti dapet uang saku tambahan dan tabungan kalo dah pulang nanti. Tapi selain itu itu juga akan membuka wawasan n melatih mental kita dalam menghadapi hidup coi ;), Belum juga hal2 positif lain seperti menambah kenalan n koneksi seruta memperlacar bahasa inggris. Banyak deh, its obviously worth the effort :D.
5. Get engaged with national organizations
Ini bisa lewat PPI atao sejenisnya. Yang jelas cari teman sebangsalah. Bukannya apa, walo emang dianjurkan memperbanyak kenalan2 asing mumpung di nagri, jangan ampe ngelupain ama teman dari negoro dewe. Selain udah klop dari segi bahasa, urusan2 tetek bengek biasanya jadi lebih cincai, dari kos2an, hang out sampe common interest. Syukur2 emang kalo ampe aktif di organisasi. Tapi kalo engga pun its not problem. Tapi paling g harus punya lah beberapa teman sebangsa yang bisa dikontek kalo2 ada apa2
6. Personal Skills
Yang ini emang agak rancu, tapi dalam hal ini, maksud jelas gw adalah try to do things yourself. Bukannya mencabut diri kita dari berbagai interaksi sosial yang memang mempermudah hidup kita. Tapi sebelum ke arah sana, ngga ada salahnya pabila kita mencoba mencoba menyelesaikan tantangan yang ada di depan kita alias MANDIRI!! Ini bisa dari segi belajar, bertransportasi, makan ataupun hal2 lain. Emang sih bakal kluar banyak usaha n dana. But believe me, every thing is worth it as it’ll enrich our self capability and confidence. Bukannya apa, soalnya di negeri kita yang cenderung semua ada n bisa minta tolong orang lain tuk ngerjain, di LN kondisinya bertola belakang. Kalopun ada yng bisa seperti di negeri sendiri, itupun biasanya g semua mau atao imbalannya besar. As they say. . . there’ aint’ free lunch :). For me personallym the things i was able to learn autodically was things such as cooking, repairing my bicycle, DIY stuffs and commuting alone B-).
I guess there’s loads left, but these six are the basics that I thingss have saved me from those times. If possible, might add some later on in a same title or even different one. Lets see later on . . . jya ne :).

Was it?
Was it when i first saw u with the veil on back then in ramadhan 2001?
Or was it when I read your blog on fs?
Did it happen when you downloaded the song?
Or was it when you said you had the drama’s I wanted?
It could be any out of all the possibilities
But surely our moments so far ain’t no possibility :)
Was it when u said you’ve been reading my writings?
Or was it when you said . . . you liked me too :D ?

All about ozzy (Part 1)
The barbie’s on lakeside . . . or maybe on the riverside, accompanied by the sunset
The blue sky above, barely any clouds seen, could either be mixed in the heat or the breeze
Cycling from places, easy as it comes as the lane is reserved just for us, just remember ur helmet and stay alert :)
Or you can just hop on the train or the bus, do bring your fully loaded smartrider to ease things
Hungry? Just stop by at your favorite kebab parlor and have a juicy bite of those tender lamb meat inside *sluurrpppnyamnyam
Or if its just a thirst quencer that you need . . . just find some fountains that can be seen almost everwhere :p
The clean streets and roads, all with the happy go life that they live, is far away from the bust
That’ll constantly put your mind at peace . . .

Two Cups
Coffee . . . a rich flavored beverage that has shapened up civilization till now
Chocolate . . . a sweetness that have made people flock around for its taste
Being poured into the white mug . . . it adds atmosphere to the place its served
It brings liveliness to the room
It addresses the mouth with all the best a taste bud could feel
And it gives you fondness to enjoy the talks after that
Just taking a sip of it . . . it prompts us to take the eternity of being together
Endless fondness thru chit chats are made genuinely as our thirst is being quenced
Until the last slurp . . . it makes us go for more, for the moment is what makes us want to hold hands forever . . . . :)

When experience matters
Time flies . . . and all of a sudden . . . we’re just into the 5th round of deployment, or the second ever since entering the middle/front offices. Damn i guess a lot of things have happened over the past 4 months in MMU. From the lamest to the greatest . . . . just name it ... from weekend-ing at Singapore, double visiting Jogja and a trip to Malang. Well . . . i guess I’ve spent at least once a month going outside city. Can’t help it though, with the increasing routines and workload to swallow up, your bound to do such things sooner or later, even if it does cost some bucks, its worth it :)
And now, we’re in the CAD a.K.a Credit Analyst Department. Well, after having some heart popping weekdays preparing the BSMR test, we can now all move on the next phase. Damn it took time for the HR’s to figure out our placements. It took until H-2 for them to finally announce our destiny. Though i got the news while in Jogja, I ket following who went where. While some people did go to places where they wanted and where expected to do so, some others still didn’t. But that’s what you expect from the HR’s . . . . always with the element of surprise :p.
Anyway . . . first day of the month, of I went with two others. To be honest, every first things feel daunting, and I do still feel so even when having moving to new places. Regardless of the fact that the job description here ain’t something alien for me though as a former accounting student before, doing it first handily in the real world was something different. It’s full of the real consequences . . .
Therefore, off i went filling the first day with having myself in a mode of stage fever. Knowing what to do as I was given an assignment to analyze a certain company’s loan renewal, I was left awestruck without having a clue on what and where to begin. In the end of the day, all i managed to do was just reading out the manuals and previous works on how to get things started.
After a days break due to public holiday, the last day of the week back in office was way better (in my standards :p). I just started of with the simplest of task first. As the day started off, I received more instructions on what to do next. Hence forth, the day ended of with a days full of analyzing the financial reports. Really, even though it was just basically reading the numbers and the relationship in between them, it really left me hell drained out body and soul. Luckily I managed to have some good hang out with my TRP mates to let loose the stress out due to office the nite later.
In overall, I do somehow have mixed feelings having being placed here currently. While i cannot deny the fact that this current placement is in line with my academic qualifications, but i do realize that the job itself is more daunting since we’re talking bout real life cases. The fact that while it says its all bout analyzing, to me . . . its more bout an art being covered with calculations. There’s no shortcut in doind the job. While you can study the basics in college, what makes you a seasoned analyzer is the degree of exposure you get from doing the job continuously over and over again. Or in short . . . experience matters !
I know its normal feel helpless since i’ve just done 2 days of work. But the sheer anxiety within me keeps me from always prompting myself to keep up with the achievements of the previous rounds. Not to mention that my pride of an accounting alumni puts me on the edge to keep performing as what others expect me to do so. All i can do right now to keep opening up those accounting books of mine while also praying for the best so that I can end this round in a happy state insya Allah :)

Fond-Due
Like a liquid of possibilities . . we find ourselves in the whirlpool of crossroads.
Gettin closer, the swirl ends and off we are to each ends of the pool
Running and rotating each other, we see yet it is only when the spoon is dipped and rotated, only we can get back to the whirlpool of fondness
A sudden dip can abruptly stop the greet, but hey . . . only a cruel would dare to do such things
Served hot . . . such bond should always kept this way, for coldness it the sign of being thrown away
Melting like cheese . . . the sweetness must be preserved in anyway, for it keeps the smile awake
The fondness of touch . . . is due closely, as far away ness cannot help the ending swirl of fondness . . .

Epitome of Freakness
Hah . . huh . . . heh . . hoh . . .Hih . . .
An amnesia of thoughts, really has left this soul dry through out the days living mundane stuffs . . . and now I’m already like . . . what the .... what’s going on with me?
An amalgamation of several stuffs such as social, assignments, futures, luckily no past but too much of a present >.<, all stuck up in one cramped room . . .
Not to be a moaner, but recent life has been the typical salary man life. Despite the neat tie, polished shoes and fancy clothes, you just end up doing the basic stuffs to fill out the senior staff’s work. The urge to make something out of the day has really been degraded into mere remembrance lately. Piled up by all other pragmatic errands.
And does it eat me? Somehow . . . YES!! First, you just feel you just wanna go home, lay your bed, be in one random sleep somewhere. Second, you just feel the sudden regret that weekend’s has passed. Third, you crave for any new entertainment that could fill up your soul. The fourth . . . the epitome of all . . . you just yearn and long for one answer. . . . when is all this gonna end??????????????????????Okay . . .it is rhetoric as it all has been decided, round the corner of may and june, but damn . . . it sure seems long. Never thought these times would be this full of boredom in a twisted manner never ever thought of. Then with all these moans, i wonder then . . . what if I’m a permanent staff . . . I’ld reckon feeling the same or even hellish things than I am.
Though saying to keep the positive vibration seems easy, maintaining and finding it is another thing. I guess the only thing to do in these times is to do what we do best at these moments . . . could be anything, but its a try to relinquish the better moments in life we had and use it as a spring or sort to bounce back up to the top I guess.
The next thing I’m eagerly waiting is the chance to take my leave. Really need a good getaway to detox my mind and routines from all the paperwork's of office. Already in the process of doing so, just hope all things go good ;).
I know that writing this wouldn’t do me any good as actions are more needed, but really . . . just felt the urge to write up something load to burn up all the bad things . . . .

two.....
What does it means to be two . . . .?
Well . . . it's obvious that its more than one, having more numbers to it
With two . . . the possibilities are wide open than being a singular being
by two . . . it means there are a pair
With pairs . . . it shows that all things can be done simultaneously
By simultaneously . . . . we learn to do things at a step, with patience but leads to bigger things ahead
By looking ahead, we pray and vibrate all the positive attitudes to envision a dream come true
Again . . . it only needs two . . . not one . . . or even in three's, four's nor fives
Its what God has made things in pairs, so that they go in perfect harmony . . . complementing each other.
Nothing is made perfect . . . therefore . . . it is only in pairs that almost most things work in the universe
It is only by two's . . . that human beings can achieve their compassion
compassion that takes it time to shape and wait for the perfect time to make the two's meet and join
and once a journey of two's has commenced . . . it is a long everlasting voyage that will be full of surprises ^_^

Move or Stay?
Hehehe....again....a series of writing with the related topic. IF before it’s more on in or out, now...it pretty similar, whether to move jobs or stay...Though it might seem to early for me to ask such kind of questions, I believe I might have to ask this question sometime in the future sooner or later.
As far as i’ve known and taught since I was a kid, once you work somewhere, it’s most likely People tend to be more mobile on the jobs they do, move in and our of corporations for all sorts of reason.
As a freshmen, I think as for starters, its more due to the need of ataining self fulfillment. While other aspects might play in such as better salary and more more experience gaining, it all has the same root which is to fulfill ourself one way or another.
Asides in my office, I’ve also seen my friends do the same thing. Most of the time, it’s more on the money which they see as insufficient. Can’t blame people for thinking so as they might have different needs. But for me closely, it might also be due to the lack of fulfillment in non materialistic terms in office.
Be it it job mismatch, unhealthy relationships with co workers, cranky boss, slow promotion or short career levels....these are most of the causes that leads us to get ourselves out of one corporation. In relation to the above cause, I see this in a view that a job is like finding a wive, that could constantly make you at home till the time comes.
And to be honest, the voyage to find such kind of job in a corporation is somehow more of a link and match journey. It might be quick for some, but could end up as a hopping of jobs to jobs. The self contentment of a person is something really relative and not easy to see through.
For myself, I always try to be content on things I receive for I believe there’s always something more for me. But really who knows, life expectations and future development might cause me to question myself, is all this enough and is it the time to take on new things?
Only heaven knows . . . . .
As far as i’ve known and taught since I was a kid, once you work somewhere, it’s most likely People tend to be more mobile on the jobs they do, move in and our of corporations for all sorts of reason.
As a freshmen, I think as for starters, its more due to the need of ataining self fulfillment. While other aspects might play in such as better salary and more more experience gaining, it all has the same root which is to fulfill ourself one way or another.

Work in or out?
This ain’t about working out in the gym or in at our house. It’s more literally, as in would we work in our offices, as an employee, or do our own jobs, as in making one and be the employer of other people. A question in which I believe most of us would be asking to yourselves in at least a point in our lives.
I’ve done it myself once before, ad it still keeps lingering in my head as to whether I would be an employer of someone else in the future. Though it might sound an easy question, in reality it takes a lot of consideration to have the guts and embark on this journey. Though you do have the guts, all other things fall in to you and constantly challenges yourself.
The first time I asked this was around my bachelor days. It looked liked one hell of an awesome idea. Had some friends and mates asking me to join them in all sorts of ventures, from the simplest to the bizarre. However, it just never really hooked up to my mind. In the end, I merely just ended up collecting the ideas and experiences from others on what does it really take to be an entrepreneur.
As my days past, I really became more and more anxious on this thing. But i also realized somewhere along the days that this things really takes a lot of things to put at stake. Not only the mind, but money and out time would be put to test. I verified this with various books I’ve read along the way it sure did sound challenging.
The will, the money, the planning, the time and most of all . . . the mentality to put our lives in uncertainty stemming from the unclear nature of doing our own job. It really is something that you cannot do unless you have been exposed properly to the aspects in your life. The mentality to embrace uncertainty, befriend it, and feel constantly challenged with what can be done to overocome such obstacles.
With such aspects, I wouldn’t be surprise of only a handful of people really do end up succesful and both enjoying it at the same time. While i might see some people being successful, but doing both is one thing that I’ve seldom seen. For me, though the skills to be a entepreneur can be studied, it’s more about the proper exposure to the condition and the grown mentality from the early ages that differentiates these people.
But for some people, it’s not bout all those above mentioned things that really matters, its more on the force majeur in their lives that makes them like this. And honestly to say, it really does somehow work out as I’ve also seen loads of people succeeding due to this condition. But then I see the same thing, it’s more on the proper steps to make themselves prepared and exposed to.
Hence forth, I do envy these people, as i find them constantly on the voyage of finding and doing something new in their everyday lives. I to hope one day I have the sufficient preparation to embark on such journey. I don’t want to end up being a salaryman for the rest of my life. There’s gotta be something more in my life surely ;-)

Is it?
Is it your eyes that looks thru my heartat
Is it the touch of your hands that calms me
Or is it the words of your mouth that holds me
Either way . . . I feel soothened by all of them
Is it the way the way the way that you think
Is it the way how you perceive
Or is it the way that you feel
Regardless so . . . I sense tranquility on my mind
Is it how you walk
Is it how you laugh
Or is it how you smile
Nevertheless . . . I’ve found happiness asides me
Be it the winds...or the clouds that comes
it could never stop the red line that connects
Stories, prayers, laughters, heart and touch
Are what keeps us going
Is it how we vision
Is it how we vibrate
Or is it how we pray
Hence forth . . . I see a bright horizon waiting us
Is it the touch of your hands that calms me
Or is it the words of your mouth that holds me
Either way . . . I feel soothened by all of them
Is it the way the way the way that you think
Is it the way how you perceive
Or is it the way that you feel
Regardless so . . . I sense tranquility on my mind
Is it how you walk
Is it how you laugh
Or is it how you smile
Nevertheless . . . I’ve found happiness asides me
Be it the winds...or the clouds that comes
it could never stop the red line that connects
Stories, prayers, laughters, heart and touch
Are what keeps us going
Is it how we vision
Is it how we vibrate
Or is it how we pray
Hence forth . . . I see a bright horizon waiting us

A year since then . . .
Eeeeewwwww...tak terasa, hidup berjalan demikian cepat, dan tiba2, you’ve just found yourself setahun hidup di Jakarta, or to say, di Indonesia sejak kembali dari Perth. A chapter of journey that starts up new visions and experience.
Clear is in my mind, that nite that I had to part from Perth back to my country. Really felt sad knowing that a chapter’s life had to end after marvelous times there. But life had to continue on and it was clear for me, that staying there wasn’t the best of the options available.
Touch down on the on going worsening pollution of Jakarta, my thoughts were head focused on applying for jobs. What more had I have to do besides this. Could have started from Perth, but I thought of taking my time there. Here, it took me efforts to apply here and there, including going to job fairs and taking care of my degree credentials, in which sorry to say, didn’t result in anything up till now.
Nevertheless the tight atmosphere of getting a work, I tried my best to enjoy life. Reading books and watching movies from my laptop are just some of the many things I tried to do to occupy myself during to keep my mind from idle. I even had a visit from Somad, one visit in which I thought would be the last for some times to come with my fellow dorm mates. This was bound to come as we were all living our lives somewhere. The best now is to constantly keep in touch through available means.
My efforts on applications only ended up with two being followed up, one of them is where I’m now currently working. As for the other, well, my thought back then on denying the offer was somehow due to my insecure of my own knowledge. Being admitted to such high class corporation would obviously be a perfect match to what I’ve been studying so far. But it seems my lack of of diligence in this field was what held me back. Therefore, it now is part of my history.
On the other side, my admission into one of the biggest asian bank has somehow brought me most of the new and challenging things in life so far. Not only friends, but also perspectives and a whole new attitude regarding work and related matters. All immersed in a beautiful plan from the heavens that always keeps me gracious to Allah SWT from allowing me to experience such feat.
And now, a year has passed. Regardless of all the ups and downs during those times, it never keeps me to feel gracious. It is at times like this and always must we do, to look below on those who cannot reach our current level, say our thanks to Allah SWT for the chance and honor to be given such bounty in life.
God knows what’ll happen from here on, a year later, five years later, and beyond. My only hope is to be able to go all those times in wisdom and be a better person for myself and others. One more thing . . . with memories ;-)

Chasing Lions and Chased by Gudeg
Errrrr....seems i’ve been really loosing myself in time and space. Seem to be lost on when I wrote somethin lately. Guess it was on my starting days in MMU.
As of this place, well, almost 2 months have elapsed. How have I been doing? So so to be honest. The sheer difference of culture and work load has obviously led me to certain changes that had to be done to adapt to what’s happening there.
Speaking of adapting . . . well....fun also had to adapt. This time, we took extreme measures . . . which was . . . chasing merlions :D !! Ok....this was indeed planned 3 months before. But knowing that the day would come really had us all exited and ecstatic.
And so we did have a hell lot of fun there. All things on work were forgotten for those two days and we indulged ourselves in laughter and smile here there and everywhere. Not to mention burning out or money on the things we targeted or what our eyes fancied for.
Back to the room, all souls were invigorated. But for me....I still had other things up on my sleeve, which was letting myself chased by the Gudeg. Ok...ok...not as literally as it seems. But this next trip had to be speeded up. Curtosy of the deployment presentations that popped up suddenly a month ago. With the schedules in place, we had to squeeze up our time to handle things properly.
Therefore,up I went on the train the next two weeks later and of I was to Gudeg city. Though being somethin like the 4 or fifth time going there, it always leads me to the sense of excitement. Obviously though, especially if your gonna meet your love there ;-). As they say, love would find its way.
On this occasion, I made sure things were different as before. Therefore, I rented a motorcycle for my visit there. This made myself more mobile and able to visit places without worrying for the hard public transport over there. This then eventually had us having newer experiences together at places we hadn’t been before.
Well, that’s all for the chase. My next chase would probably be on April as this time, it’s all bout chasing the crazy lion. With the trip being on Easter, it’s gonna be extra time as I’ll be having one day extra fun. Really looking forward to the time. It’s gonna be a whip for me personally so I can do things enthusiastically for that day to come and enjoy it to the max ;-).

Middie Middle
Owwwww . . . . really . . . my life’s writin times has been gettin more and more sparse. Though I have been fillin em up with some random and miscellaneous chants, seems I haven’t been keepin up with my journey. Not thats I didn’t think bout it, but certain matters had to be tended first #alesaaaaaaaaannnnnnn . . . .
Eeeeerrrrr . . . . I guess the last one was when I was still in ASD. Anyway, time has passed by since then, a whole new adventure as spurred up till recently. Things have been vehemently fast tracked and prompts me to keep in touch too.
Done with the back offices in work, it was time for us to move on to the middle and front layers of work. Hence forth, we had to get ourselves use to using our brains more than using our brawns :P. And depending on where u get stranded, u also might need to use our mouth too to work :)).
But before we could move on, out we were thrown to the outskirt for some periodical “conditioning” and so called training. Thanks god, this one was way better in terms of pace and in class materials. Things were more on the soft skill and prep for entering the middle/front depts. The only thing that kept us going goosebumps all thru those moments were the fact that we had to wait till almost the weekend to know our next deployment placement.
In the end, we did get our assignments. Some were expected, some others were quite surprising. However, we had to stay content and be sure that our next adventure had more in store for us than previous encounters had proven. We just had to prepare ourselves mentally for the rest of the week, while also praying for the best for ourselves for the next 4 months as the next rounds were set in 4 months periods.
There I went, this time with Hera, into the MMU. On a good thing, it’s a great place to start things of if u’r interested in goin to the treasury dept one day since this unit monitors, control and manage all the transaction of the Treasury Department, hence, acting as some sort of policeman if anything goes wrong. In short, this place is full of knowledge on the finance side of things.
Nevertheless, all good things must start up roughly, and the same goes for me. Remembering this is indeed a middle office unit, U gotta put more initiative, act more independent and use more of ur brains more than the back. Therefore, things started of pretty much slowly. Especially when our mentor instructed us to concentrate more on the knowledge side of things rather than putting to much efforts on doing the reports done.
That’s why, finishing the third week, we’ve been more on attaching ourselves to the staffs and learning the how to’s and what’s behind every report being done. To be honest, we also had to start of doing some reports, to also get a feel of what’s being done and know for ourselves what’s in store in case a problem happens with that particular report.
Asides that, I can’t complain. Things have been pretty much good. You’ve just gotta see things on the good side as it’ll keep u alive and well. On a personal side of things, I finally got my android phone :P. Really wasn’t planning to get one soon (mosoooooo’’’????) till my other phone was asked by my uncle to be used. In a need for two phone for emergency matters, there I went to get one. My choice landed on the Samsung GT-5510 a.K.a Galaxy 551.
As they say, the graphics are sleek, awesome software to make it a smart phone and most of all . . . its pretty much cheap but powerful compared to an iPhone or a BB. The only downfall is the really drain full battery that can only last for a around 12 hours straight :(. Nevertheless, certain settings had to be made to lasten its usage period. That includes turing off the internet connection when not needed. Besides that, I’m pretty much happy on this new gadget. Lets just pray that it still last long in my hand, considering I bougth this one myself :D.
Guess that’s all for now. I’m currently expecting a three month trip straight from now on, visting one place every once to refresh my life. Hope to feel envigorated after those events. Till then . . . Jya ne ;-)

(To Be) Inspired . . .
Life is a web of connection . . . like an endless spiral of possibilities that could lead you anywhere. The countless numbers of acquaintance and pals that we meet and greet along our journey means that we might be entangled in their slightest manners or habits. The same goes vice versa, it’s usually a matter of who ends up having the highest ability to inspire, to unleash the potential and curiosity of others. On a personal perspective, there have been peoples that have ignited myself to do somethin that I wouldn’t even think of from scratch . . . names are in aliases below :P
1. Young Dancer
Ever since knowing her, our talks almost hit the topic of psychology, which is her field of expertise. It put my mind o a better understanding of how humans think of a clearer pattern. It then prompted me to go on and get a better perspective by gaining insights on this fields by reading the related topics.
2. Real Rasyid
A train freak, or a fan at least :P, hangin out with this dude brought me to natural frontiers which I have to be honest, wouldn’ be thought by me. Things went on by gettin to know bout photography. By now, it’s always exciting to learn all those things from an adventurous person :P
More people would follow, but as for now . . . I’ll put in the first two person. Jya ne.....

Music Memories (Part 3)
1. Kala Cinta Menggoda
Such a song, quite an oldies for me as it was released in the 1998’s. Sometime around my junior high years. Having such an ethnic feel, it makes me reminisce back to those old and ruffian days. Where being with friends was all it meant, where gettin a girl sound cool, where knowing the guitar and drugs where an awesome thing back them for some. Well luckily, I wasn’t that quick on doing either of the mentioned above :D.
2. W~Boiled~Extreme
Lyrically . . . just an ordinary song here. But listening this, it brings me back to the times of being unemployed. Where you were just helpin out your mom and working out everyday, waiting for a lucky reply from any companies that you sent your CV. Attending interviews and tests here and there, I guess this is a song for the unemployed. Might I oftenly listen to this one if by chance I need to get another job later on :P ?
3. Possibility feat Daichi Miura
Ok . . . I do have to admit that this song is one of BoA’s best duet. But its not bout the lyrics, it concerns one of the moments that went kinda silly for me. My first visit to Jogja almost went disastrous as I got ill struck by the time I got the album I’ve been finding and the subtitled video clip. Guess I gotta concentrate on my girl in Jogja when I’m there . . . not on gundam's nor BoA :P

Well luckily, I wasn’t that quick on doing either of the mentioned above :D.

Lyrically . . . just an ordinary song here. But listening this, it brings me back to the times of being unemployed. Where you were just helpin out your mom and working out everyday, waiting for a lucky reply from any companies that you sent your CV. Attending interviews and tests here and there, I guess this is a song for the unemployed. Might I oftenly listen to this one if by chance I need to get another job later on :P ?
3. Possibility feat Daichi Miura
Ok . . . I do have to admit that this song is one of BoA’s best duet. But its not bout the lyrics, it concerns one of the moments that went kinda silly for me. My first visit to Jogja almost went disastrous as I got ill struck by the time I got the album I’ve been finding and the subtitled video clip. Guess I gotta concentrate on my girl in Jogja when I’m there . . . not on gundam's nor BoA :P
Riding with a mask
Live life like kuuga . . . always smiling and wanting to help others as u learn new things . . .
The world is somehow like where ryuuki goes . . . full of mirrors and images of ourselves in others . . .
You would want to help those that are being in suffer, even though you have to betray your own kind as what Faiz did . . .
Sometime one has to sacrifice their humanity so that others can gain their’s as Blade swore . . .
Be a good cook . . . act cool and be wise #kabutomode
Keep the memories and savor them as you pass by . . . .
Watch out for your buddies . . . keep an eye and support each other ;-)
Don’t worry for the future, as long as u’ve got some money and underwears, everything’s gonna be fine :D

Nde-mot
Hueee . . . . g nyadar . . . moro2 wis sa’ wulan ra nulis opo2 blas . . . fiuuh . . . entah kenapa bisa kelupaan. Padahal kerja ngga’ sibuk2 amat di amat santai dept. Apa mungkin banyaknya kegiatanku dikala senggang yach? From nandar’s visit, dufan and jogja . . . . . huehehe . . . bener juga, jarang2 aq da kegiatan in the weekends for 3 weeks straight :P. Dan menghadapi 2 weekend terakhir, aku tiba2 kembali ngendok ijenan ning omah :)).
And its not also a normal thing for me to relentlessly do such kinda things as I usually would opt for having it in intervals of on-off-on-off and so on. It’s just to preserve my physical and mind energy as I need to recharge them. Not doing so would often lead me to longer terms of shutdown and keeping myself in my man cave . . . and hence people eventually find me in a moody position, which is totally wrong. Its just a matter of perseverance, especially for a introvert like me.
Anyway, as i look back past the month, some revelations do surface again as what has been happening in life, seen and not seen. As a journey as its supposed to be, many lessons, revelations, and insights come back and forth, or even introduce themselves on each route of life taken. The sudden slowdown of pace of work, though obnoxious in the first weeks, seem to unleash their hidden rows of words to my mind.
Being left alone, idle, both mind and physically, hasn’t really been good as the mind keeps goin dull. Somehow, one way or another, u’ve gotta let ur mind to wander and come up with somethin to let go of this induced easiness. Either its about fun or goin serious, one had to speak up!. And so the series of activities above does speak for yourself on how one’s life has been struggling. Success? That’s kinda relative if asked. But what I can be sure is that there’s something for everythin. For what it’s worth, at least I was able to be a bit of yellow past those weeks, which forces myself to be perfect blue all over again. But ur besties, mates and girl, its not so bad of a time ;-)
In the midst of being nde-mot, I really couldn’t ask for more for such amusements. While I eagerly scatter the mot’s of what’s left in my heart, time flies and suddenly brings us to the interval gates of back and middle/front. The past half months couldn’t be any better for me as numerous, if not dozens of things I’ve gone through, be it bad or good. The future is dark, the past has gone, what’s left is a now . . . the present, a clear gift for me. Hence, I guess I should just walk the days, see what life can bring for me. Enjoy every present given and surely there will be somethin in stake for me . . . ciao
