Finally...got the latest update on my handset! ^^
So...its been 2 updates since I've had it in the last 1.5 years. Hopefully it could stand as long as it can. The balanced specs, and the fact that its line will get the latest update is why I opted for the current one I'm holding right now.
Lets see how this candy fares

This second (and impulsive brekkie)....Well....not quite though
We had one before I journey to the airport. But, guess it wasn't enough. So, we feasted ourselves to some "lavish" western style brekkie, courtesy of the biggest Coffee chain in the world.

Side by side till the afterlife
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1ulQWkk
Just after the last soil was put....
It was an honor, and last duty to help bury her, side by side with her late husband.
Being deep down 2 meters, my only prayers is that her deeds are enough to enlighten her throughout the afterlife.
It also serves as a reminder for me, how good have I gone?

This room will never be the same again
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1r4PR0r
Back again in Malang...this time on such sad occasion.
So...its been 15 years since grandfather pass away, and 8 years since my great grand mother. The last elder standing in the family.
The only consolation was that I was able to meet her, support and bid my farewell before she succumbed to her illness. Story said, she closed her eyes peacefully and quietly. Khusnul Khotimah they say....
Nevertheless, with her gone, the room will never be the same again. The remaining pictures will be the last remnants of her legacy as it'll be immortalized forever by her decendents.

Still one of my ongoing habits 😅

On old habit I carried on from Perth. Remnants of the time when I just suddenly woke up, thirsty for water, and had nothing to do besides munching anything in the fridge while wondering.....how good will I survive myself down under.

Took this from the 16th floor while on the break of LEGO training.
Jakarta now looks awful with most of the roads like that in the picture. However, I believe its for the better good. It's bout time Jakarta (and Indonesia) had their own tube running.
Though decades late, its better than never. We just have to endure it for the next couple of years, so we can finally bear the fruits of patience and reap the results of better public transportation.

Just when you entered the station, and that the announcement says the train will be due in a matter of seconds at the opposite platform, you know you've just gotta act like Usain Bolt and dash to make it inside.
Well...I made it, with a heavy breathing and (almost) sprained ankle...what a poor stamina I have for someone my age.... :(

Regram from @dagelan Learnt this for a full 2yrs not long ago, while not fully adaptable in Indonesia, at least we can learn not to directly stick our nose into someone's business or choice
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1vyPP2b
Found this on one of the accounts I followed
Can't help appreciating this picture. Like I said in my IG acc, the above words aren't fully applicable here in Indonesia, mainly due to cultural and religious perspectives. However, at least I agree to the point that it should stop us from directly poking our noses into ones business or choice.
Such attitude is very pandemic across Indonesia, to the point it's almost very annoying if you ever come across a person with that attitude. Yeah we should be attentive and caring to others and our surroundings. But poking our noses upfront on others? Nah nah nah.....
Sometimes, we should just let others choose their way and mind our own business. Till it really becomes a widespread social problem, then we should all just stay cool and appreciate other's choice.
*Again like I said, the above words cannot fully be applicable...
Jimbaran Dinner
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1sZtlp1
Thank God IG has some cool filters. Truthfully, the picture had a back light effect, rendering it almost un visible. So I did some tinkering and VOILA!! Had the picture back to life :D
The picture was back in September, on my department training. As it was just a one night trip, we had our dinner on Jimbaran Beach, savoring our mouths with splendid seafoods, and a mouthfull of Karaoke's later on.
But the best part was having it all by the sunset. While not solemn as I'd like it to be, it wasn't bad.
Empty Lane on Sunday Morning
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1vvRUM2
Had to abru ptly head to my apaato from ma ol' man's house in Sunday morning, as some my lady's goods were left there.
As I was still too tired and sleepy to hop ride on till Kalibata, I opted for the train. Bad luck for me, what I though was a direct line thru Kalibata, turned out that I had to transit in Manggarai.
But unlike the usual busty and hustling of the weekdays, the platform was fairly....alive. This was only a number of people were there on each platform. Can't mind it...it's still around 6am on Sundays :p

When things were lonely and cold back then
via Instagram http://ift.tt/100R4hA
This iconic picture. The title speaks for itself, as it was a testament of those cold and lonely nights.
If I'm not mistaken, this was in my 2nd semester, around August or September 2008. Back then, winter was just bout to cease. But the thermometer hadn't passed the 15 degree mark. So, having something hot at the night was a routine for me.
I guess nothing from that picture is still with me here. The laptop went KABOOM something like a year later on. As for the utensils, I guess I gave them to my housemates before I returned for good to Indonesia.
But one thing for sure remains from that picture, the memory, the experience, the lessons learnt :)

The Biggest Purchase
Ever
dreamt of having your own house, from your own money, by your own sweat?
Guess
everyone does, who doesn’t? Thing is, nowadays, such dream are becoming and
becoming more utopic.
Face
it, soaring land prices, (Over) Priced houese from the developers. On top of
that, average or (if not to say) low salary and rising living costs. All these
summed up together, getting your own house would be a heck of struggle.
Applied
on me? Sure it does, especially here in Jakarta. Even seeking outside Jakarta,
the prices are fairly similar. Sometimes, the prices doesn’t even compensate
for the lack of infrastructures to it.
Like it
or not, I had to face this issue sooner or later. Being the head of the family,
your in the constant position to always seek out ways to improve and better the
lives of your family. Having your own house is just one of them.
Do I
hate my current house? Hell no! Well, its just not that I hate it, but it’s
just bout anticipating my future. Staying in a (said) subsidized flat just
besides the national heroes cemetry, things are fairly OKAY for the moment. Just
meters away within walking distance to the train station, a shopping center
just at the basement, and all amenities within close range, what more can you
ask?
Well...like
I said, its about the future. In a flat, you don;t have the luxury of space. In
a somewhat 30m2 unit, things
are pretty much packed. No room for useless things. All items must be of
essential need and can be stored tedily. Otherwise, I risk making my unit a
pile of garbage storage. Not to mention the lack of a garden. Meaning that there’s
no green thingy to watch on and get that fresh and natural feelin.
Over
the past few month, I’ve been eyed with this new land opening from a house
developer in South West of Jakarta. Well, its not technically Jakarta. Anyway,
since then and till now, I’m in the struggle get this house within my grasp. Although
some sacrifices will ensue.
The
only way I can ensre it is to secure a house loan from my office. But that
means, I’m kinda pawning my life to my office. Asides from the fact that I can
set it to another house mortgage or new office, I’ll be pretty much stay for
the rest of my life.
Is it
worth it? For me now....YES?? In my circumstances, I think its now bout now or
never. Some years back, I wouldn’t be thinking of doing so. But as you get
older, get more commitments, and looking prices at a never ending upward trend,
you’ve just gotta have the guts.
Luckily,
I’ve somewhat secured help from my ol’ man. However, I’ll be sure to repay him
as soon as I can afford it. Man, I sure owe lots in my life. Even till now when
I’m in need for a housing fund. Just need to get the paperwork right in all
parts, and hopefully, I can secure the deal in the next month.
Sure
time is ticking for me. Thus everyday, its an adrenaline rush. However, if I
vision the future that I want, I guess its gonna be worth it. As for myself
being tied, I don’t mind for the moment. Let’s just think bout it when you’ve
already hit the upper ceiling. Not to say that I’ve haven’t. But this thing
makes the ceiling go higher, and forces yourself to reach that upper ceiling.
For the
future.....

On our trip to Bali 19-23 September 2014, at Uluwatu Temples
Damn it was a scorching noon. But I made sure it wouldn't hinder our plan to make the day full of visits. Surely the ocean view was breathtaking. However, we had to make sure no monkeys were eyeing for our goods. That's why we had a local tourist guide guard and talk us through the site trip. Free? naahh :p....just for around 100 somethin laah xD.

Honestly, the dances were the only interesting stuff here. It was mainly due the incompleteness of the said statue (guess its been more than a decade).
So here we were, having a selfie. Even after a scorching and tired day (after around 3 or 4 sites before), we still managed to keep smilin and happy ^_^.

Equal Trade
By
blood...thirst...sweat...tears...cries...shouts...bruises...mangled arm...and
time
in
exchange for...
Knowledge...honor...experience...wisdom...tenacity...courage...acceleration
and ambition
Rewind
It’s
funny, when you read back what you’ve written in the past 4 years, every since
you’ve started to work. And when you do it, you just can’t let go of the tears
of happiness and all things mixed together. Its just thanks God that I’m still
here, well and alive.
But
then, by rewinding it, I remember, everything has a cycle. Even for my work.
The things I’ve gone thru, written thru all these times, are testament to what
I’m goin thru now. No longer I can bear this...
To
rewind....means to start things a new. Just got the joust recently. So I’ll
just have to start of with that. Eniwei, it is sufficient, as i cannot ask more
right now. Let’s just go thru things with will power as beginners.
Its all
bout grabbing back the power and choice back into my own hands. Use what’s
available, modify and enhance it to my own use. Stop whining and waiting. The
world won’t wait for me. I’ve seen others already fly while I often think of
myself still at square one.
It’s
not bout the results, it’s always more on the process. Regardless of the color
awaiting me at the end of tunnel, I have to make sure the process is done in a
just and right manner. No more short cuts, no more whimping.
The
future’s in stake. The dream is already on a cliffhanger. If it ain’t me...then
who’s gonna take care of myself?
Best Gundam Series (menurut guweh!)
1. MS
Gundam: 08th MS Team
No
gundam series out there can depict the sheer realism and brutality of war
except this one. No newtypes...just ordinary people fighting with what they
have. Lucky they didn’t make much overpowered mecha here, mostly relying on the
story line. Sayang....endingnya cukup mengharukan. Eniwei...must watch lahh !!
2.
Gundam 00
No more
Earth vs. Colony. Here....it’s just bout ending waarrrrr. Eee...they did have
the Innovator thingy introduced mid series. But
hey, at least they made things a fresh after the SEED series trainwreck.
And the best part, this series eventually introduced one thing no other series
has into....facing aliens in the final bout B-).
3.
Victory Gundam
Pretty
much the same with the first, just blood and brutality. In fact, its more
gruesome in this series. Just this time they had newtypes wandering around,
which lowers its rank to me. Honestly, to make a good series, such overpowered
things shouldn’t be introduced lah. Ruins everything.
SEED vs. 00
Tetiba
aja pengen nulis ini. Padahal harusnya dah gw lakuin bertahun2 lalu dikala gw
masih hot2nya ama gundam :D. Tapi mo gimana lagi, belakangan dengerin ulang lagu2
OST dari SEED dan 00 membuat gw nostalgia akan masa2 muda gw (ketahuan gw dah
tuwir =)) ). Masa2 dimana everything was pretty much care freeeee.
Tapi
mengapa membandingkan kedua seri ini? Kenapa ga ama yang lain aja? Well...first
of all, masa2 “melek anime” gw diisi dengan 2 seri gundam ini. Bisa dikatakan,
gw membuka “anime age” gw dengan SEED, dan gw mengakhirinya dengan 00. So, some
how got those two having some impression on me.
Both are great series. Well...not so if
compared to other older series. However, they’re one of th contemporary series
that deserve a recognizing. Here, I’ll compare how each fares between each
other on some aspects.
1. Plot
Gw
akuin, dan bagi mereka2 yang sudah nonton UC timeline, SEED bisa dikatakan
“Cukup” banyak menjiplak cerita dari timeline itu. Saking banyaknya, berasa
agak ilfil mo nonton lanjutannya. Soalnya dah ketebak duluan, nasib para tokoh
dan jalan ceritanya. Untuk SEED, luckily setengah musim akhir, dia sudah mulai
ada jalan cerita sendiri. Sayang, padahal kalo dibuat fully original, bisa
lumayan ok kali ya seri-nya.
SEED
Destiny...hmm...quite original at the start. But seriously, dosa TERBESAR seri
ini adalah mengembalikan tokoh2 dari SEED menjadi jagoan kembali di SEED
Destiny. Padahal tokoh utama SEED Destiny sendiri banyak potensi pengembangan
karakter. Sayang....malah dijadiin antagonis pada akhirnya.
00...lumayan
original. Kalo biasanya mulu tentang pertentangan bumi dan koloni luar angkasa.
Kali ini tentang “mengakhiri peperangan”. Woowwww.....utopis cuy...Tapi ya itu
dia....jadi asik dan menonton sesuatu yang segar.
Endnote,
SEED bisa cukup fare dengan 00. Hanya saja jalan cerita SEED Destiny membuat
segala sesuatu menjadi kacoh baloh.
Winner:
00
2.
Mecha Design
Whoohhh....ini
lumayan syusye. Honestly, mecha2 di SEED termasuk cukup oke. Apalagi tuk 5 gundam-nya OMNI. Cukup ori laaahhh.
Sayang, habis itu mecha designer-nya jadi malas dan ngembangin mecha2 dengan
daur ulang design dari seri2 gundam lainnya, mostly dari UC timeline.
Eits...tapi
kalo boleh gw masukin side story Astray disini, bisalah seri SEED agak
ketolong. Kalo di Astray, design-nya malah banyak yg ori. Jadinya lebih oke
liat mecha2 yang keren tapi designnya masih kinyis2 anyar :D.
00...
kesan pas liat design-nya...sleek and minimalis. Yang oke cuma di jagoan2nya.
Tapi klo penjahatnya...err....ga deh (kecuali mecha2-nya si Graham mungkin).
Beda ama seri SEED yang antara jagoan n penjahat, design mecha-nya cukup
imbang. Tapi at least seri 00 ga mengulang dosa-nya SEED, daur ulang design
seri2 lama. Karena ini....pemenangnya jelas :).
Winner:
00
3.
Chara Design
SEED
(kecuali side story-nya), honestly has a good chara design. Unik kalo menurut
gw. Sayang, harus terdegradasi gara2 animation quality yang naik turun di
setiap episodenya. Jatohnya ga bisa memaksimalkan potensi yang ada.
Kalo
00, terus terang kliatan feminim. Ya iyalah...yang bikin konon katanya juga
sering gambar seri cewek. But at least...mutu animation-nya stabil. But design
wise, kayanya tetep menang si biji deh :p
Winner:
SEED.
4.
Chara Development
Bagian
ini terus terang ga akan bisa lepas dari poin pertama. Gw akan lebih suka
development-nya 00. Lebih jelas aja. Kalo SEED, sayang nya terlalu bertele2 dan
agak geje.
Winner:
00
5. OST
Huhuhu....kayanya
yang ini dah obvious. The thing bout SEED, sejelek2nya cerita serinya, bisa aja
OST-nya mbois ampe titik darah penghabisan. Terutama berkat suaranya om TM
Revolution ama dik Tamaki Nami. Sumpeh....enak terus didengerin ampe sekarang.
Ear catching lah.
Kalo
00...bukannya ga enak. Hanya saja ga dapet vibe-nya si SEED. Paling2 yang bisa
cuku nendang Cuma 1st opening OST-nya, berkat om2 ganteng laruku (HIDUP LARUKU
!!). Lainnya....so so aja.
Winner:
SEED
So...the
aggregate winner is fairly apparent. 00
wins by 3 against SEED that only has 2. But again, that’s just me with my
opinion. Dan tetap aja, gw appreciate every gundam series. Because each one of
them has their own uniqueness, on what ever aspect that is.
Physically Sidelined
Ketika
kamu merasa on the high....segalanya goin good....smooth and fun...JEBRET
Then
came that horrendous moment.....
Gw ga’
akan nyeritain dsini. Mengingatnya saja sudah membuat gw cukup trauma. Apalagi
kalo bukan karena gw hampir dekat dengan kematian gw. Emang, skalanya belum ada
apa2 dengan apa yang dialami Chandra. Tapi fakta bahwa itu terjadi sudah jelas
membuka peluang gw menuju alam lain.
Luckily...no
broken bones....Just some bruises and mangled muscles. Even till now the effect
still lingers. Still gotta go and have my mangled muscled massaged back while
slowly physically gaining back the enduranatce. Bruises are almost done. Just
still got one tiny bit at my right heel.
No
lifting heavy things for the moment. Need to carefully walk when on the stairs.
Need to watch out for my foot balance. Need to restrain mysefl from
overpronating when walking....just too much things to watch out on this moment
till fully healed.
Really...the
price of such healthiness is what I’ve just felt...so expensive, that we cannot
ever put a price to it. Every little bit of it, we must be gratefull of it. By
what? By being careful and taking care of it through letting in good and
healthy food and exercising it. Guess I missed out on the very first.
I guess
this is one of my life events, that’ll have a profound effect to me. Ever since
I was often left gaizing, unvoluntarily remembering that very moment I was
clinging on with my life on the edge. And thanks Allah SWT, I’m still given a
second chance.....

A year since then . . .
I remembered writing it....just maybe forgot to post it. I think it was around 2011 somethin....here's my thoughts on those times....
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 ;-)

first time reviewing a waroeng, or food stall in english. I chose this one
because of its unique meals, which offers Malay cuisine in the heart of Kaliurang,
one of Yogyakarta’s college districts.
The
place doesn't shy of with selling malay meal, this is why I think many Malay
students flock over here. But hey...the food is really good. For starters, I’ld
go for the Roti Canai Curry, one of signatures dishes in South East Asia,
served here Malay style. There’s other varieties of Roti Canai, but the one
with curry toppings is my favorite. The crispy bread styled pancake (as I would
put it) is perfect dipped in the curry sauce.
For
main menu, hmmmm.....Either I go with Nasi Lemak with chicken, or Martabak. For
the first, its rice cooked with coconut leaves, served in chicken curry
(yeah...I suppose so). For this meal, it kinda takes a while to wait. Its just
because they have to cook it fresh before serving it to you. Good for them. I
once ordered this meal. But because the chef wasn't sure if they had the
cooking done yet, they asked me to test it. Turned out it really needed more
cooking. So they completely changed it and cooked a new one better than the
previous. Nice service there ;-).
For the
drink, nothing beats the Jumbo Teh Tarik. Again...another signature drink from
the Malay region. Having spicy foods for the meal, this drink surely helps you
quench out the spiciness that has filled our tounge due to the milk contents in
it. Then again, the drink is basically tea mixed with milk. However, the mixing
is done by pouring it from jar to jar, but by moving the jar farther, so making
it feel as we’re looking at some sort of tea waterfall.
I’ld
recommend this place. Nice foods that’ll make you full, with decent price. While
it may sound bit on the top for the college students near by, its still way
cheaper for Jakartans (like me) who happens to be in Jogja for a getaway. At
least, you can grab a meal, at least 40-50K for two. How’s that for a bargain :D.
PS:
Photos will come later. I’ve been here so many times, yet never bothered to
take a photo of the meals I’ve wrote above ^_^;

Pressure on ME !!
Just some random babling back then. Really...I have no clue when did I write this...maybe during my times in Perth....maybe already back in Jekardah....anyway....here's the babble
Next round . . . another step of hard hitting self reversing and up side downs to start of what’s gonna be a new step in life. Painful as it goes, there’s a saying that you’ll be able to conquesr the world once you’ve known who you are . . . well…lets just hope this is the start of me conquering the world :P
Ok…ok….enough intermezzo . . . well…pressure ehh… again . . . please do not ask how I knew I was suffering from this . . . damn . . . I curse myself for forgetting why I had these in the beginning . . . the process of recalling and reminiscing is just too long . . . not to mention painful in some occasions. But . . it’s gotta be done little by little . . .
Fiuuhh . . . I just kinda think that I often freak out whenever things go out of my reach or what I intended. It often happened way back in my days when I once came back to Indo after years of living abroad. The sheer life of typical Indonesians that was full of pressure, unorder and quick pace really fuzzed out my brain. End result . . . it then caused me to forget the necessary things that I had to remember when time called upon it. As I grew, I trained myself not only to deal with it, but also to put some countermeasure towards it. Though till this very moment, I’m still struggling to overcome this horrible habit, some measures have succeeding in at least lessening the negative impact. It just needs continuous practice and self adapting in order to have any good effects.
What have I done? Hmmm . . . . as far as I remember, I tried to be somewhat ignorant. I know it sounds kinda bad or something, but this really I fact has aided me in un-worrying about the unnecessary aspects of my life. But then, in any further writings later on, this too has brought upon me several side effects that also contribute to my major bad habit. Next . . . in conjunction to this step, writing down a plan has also helped me in putting all into proper order. Hence, I wouldn’t have to worry too much on any future uncertainties. Last . . . is to forecast any potential and possible outcomes of what I might end up doing or experiencing. Hey . . . I realize that my steps above might seem somewhat too uptight and strict. By doing so, I do admit that all those above still needs some polishing, but in the mean while . . . all is good mate .
Aside any personal side effects above mentioned, I guess the only challenge for me is to learn not to freak out on any future unwanted conditions that I might face. Usually, it all happened due to my lack of life experiences that I ought to have. Hence, I should by now learn all the important things on life. Such kinda things can’t be learnt thru colleges and schools, but often must be experienced first hand.
By enriching ourselves, we can then learn to overcome the sensation of being under pressure and live a more carefree life. I just ought to remember, pressures, whatever and how it would be, will always exist in life. But how we deal and cope with it, determines the quality on how we live our life. It’s about juggling the ups and downs in life that we are able to enjoy things as they are . . .

Man 2 Man
On that
table. . . face to face with your dad
Trembling
though his words reciting the du’a on our moment
Yet...man
to man....I just knew . . .
It was
a moment of truth for him
On
releasing his beloved daughter
To a
man . . . he barely knows
To a
man . . . just few occasions met
To a
man . . . a trust he will bestow
To a
man . . . he would call “son”
Sir . .
. I may not know you deep, yet do trust me . . .
Sir . .
. You may not seen us often, yet its ok . . .
Sir . .
. Though it may be sudden, yet please allow to say “dad”
Trembling
my feet were on the second you took my hand on the oath
I
realized it was nothing compared to the sheer trembling your hands were
Putting
his utmost trust to a complete stranger . . . his daughter’s fate
Sir . .
. I can’t promise wealth for your daughter, I can only put my best effort that
every money and rizq she takes would be of a halal source & method
Sir . .
. I can’t promise her an easy life ahead, I can only encourage & lead her
to be strong & face life full of gratitude whatever it is
Sir . .
. I can’t promise you daughter that she won’t ever cry, I can only put my blood
& sweat that her only tears would be those of joy
The
next few seconds . . . moments for every man
Determination
of a man
I took
the oath, not just for happiness, good & bounties
But for
every sin, bad & vice she brought
Sir . .
. please allow me . . . .
