The life of extraordinary gentleman...

Lastly...The Omega...

2009-10-19T00:02:00.002+08:00

It's been 2 years plus since i posted the first blog here. I was in CIMP at that time. Flying back to the old memories, walking past post by post, read through the whole posting. A lot of things has been changing already.

I know i'm not the active blogger with the low productivity of posting. However, more or less i shared some of my experiences to you. It might be useful but it might be not. Still, i'm happy that i was able to share with you all.

All in all.

A lot of things has been changed now. The idea that has been thought and spitted out here was still here. It's the last post for the blog i guessed. I will stop writing until i don't know when. I felt bad leaving this blog with nothing written on it. So, i just decided to stop blogging.

So, thanks a lot for you who read my blog already. Sorry, if you found it a bit offensive but it's just some simple and complicated thought from me, myself, Farid.

See you all again...

This is life, the life of extraordinary gentleman.

Potato^^

2009-09-28T09:03:00.003+08:00

Some of you or might be all of you will be wondering why i put potato as this title of this post. But someone out there might know why. Hehe...

Never know that potato will be so memorable.
It starts with nothing, guessed that the potato started everything.
It's not a real world i wrote about and nobody knows what i wrote about.

The sun was hiding and it was real dark.
The game was just finished and the water just touched all the human being.
Staring in the front of a glowing sand inside a box, a name that i didn't know appeared.

Just like a potato grows with care.
And sometimes bad weather come, it keeps growing no matter what.
It becomes a nice wonderful meal at the end of the day.

That's the story goes.
As the potato moved to the flour and so on, now there are so many memories on my head.
Smile and smile and smile...
At the end of the plateau, it makes my life seems more beautiful.

Big Big Thanks From Me

2009-09-23T11:07:00.000+08:00

This is an open letter for each single of you and also everyone.

Dear all,

It's been quite sometimes since August 15th, 2009 (6 weeks ago) that i have to use crutches to transporting to everywhere. And today, I, Farid Gunawan, first of all would like to thank God for his greatness to give those wonderful experiences for the past 6 weeks. I just can't describe the feeling that i had for the past 6 weeks; happy, sad, etc, etc. However, today September 23rd, 2009, God said that i can walk again with my 2 feet.

And i would like to thank you all my friends which has been(and will always be) helping me for the past 6 weeks, taking care of me, and everything while i can't do a lot of things by myself. Big big thanks from me to all of you for your prays, care, hugs, wishes, transport :P, and everything that you all have given to me. It's a wonderful thing to know you all as my beautiful friends or i can say as a family here.

Well, all in all, i can't say your name one by one. Just, let you all know that you all just taught me how friends wonderfully and amazingly meant to me. I treasure you all and our friendship.
And people, I'M BACK!!! =)

Best regards and with love,

Farid Gunawan

They brighten up my day^^

2009-09-18T19:52:00.003+08:00

This evening was very wonderful with them all...
I just did not expect that suddenly they all appear just like that.
All my family appeared in front of me even though it was just in the screen of my laptop. But it was nice. The conversation was normal, but the feeling when i was talking to them. It was special and wonderful. And for the first time i talked to a new member of my family, Gabrielle Alexis Caswara, even though she did not know me and have not been able to talk to me. hehe...
I just can say thank God u gave me the best family ever.

Both of My Sisters...One in Dubai and one in Jakarta...

My family^^

See.. How happy we are...

Learn to walk...

2009-09-14T20:05:00.000+08:00

The title of this post might sound funny to you all, but it's the fact that happened now. Hehe... I, Farid Gunawan, is learning to walk again (indeed with 2 legs). Wee hee!!!

As time passed by, my foot is getting better and better. Then even tough i haven't been back to the doc but i tried to walk again already (of course stilll with the help of my crutches). Seems like a baby, i am learning to walk. However, not literally i can't walk at all, but just memorizing again since i have been hopping for over than 1 month. My foot felt so stiff that it was really weird to walk again my right foot. Anyway, i made it. I MADE IT!!! I walked again with both of my legs. Isn't it cool? Hehe...

All in all, it's not just about learning how to walk again that i wanted to share to you all. A word learning there meant a lot to me, a lot til i found a lot of things that have not been found before. Learn to accept, learn to be patient, learn to be strong, learn to keep fighting, and learn learn learn. (Ancora Imparo ~ I'm still learning - Monash University) haha...

Anyway, i feel happy now. I can walk again even tough hasn't been back to normal but i'm sure it will be back to normal as I'm practicing a lot.hehe... I feel it, the confidence is back, and I think i'm ready. Yes, I AM READY!!!

"If anybody asks u who i am. Just stand up tall, look 'em in the face and say...
I'm that star up in the sky, I'm that mountain pick up high. Hey I made it, I'm the world's greatest...
And I'm that little bit of hope, when my back's against the ropes. I can feel it, I'm the world's greatest..." (R. Kelly - The World's Greatest)

I should be more patient...Maybe...

2009-09-06T02:00:00.000+08:00

Hellow all,

I'm back.
God hasn't let me walk yet. Hehe...That's fine, lets just wait and be patient but i feel happy that my foot is getting much better. I'm sure the time will come and i'm sure i will recover soon.

I'm currently hungry (or can be said starving) while waiting for my friend to buy me food. Thx to him for buying me food. Only both of us knew :P. Hehe...
The thing is just now is quite late for me to have lunch, that is why i'm starving. Not his fault tough.

Might be i have to be more patient to the situation or others certain circumstances or some people while the murderous thought of me was not allowed by one of my friends. Haha... I should accept it with big heart while my condition is like this. I might demand very much while i should not.

Ok, i should stop here,
wasting my energy to write this while i haven't had supply of energy yet. Damn, i just cannot tahan my tears (wasting my energy also and gluceoneogenesis happened), luckily they are still on the place :P...haha...

*and i was thinking that i wanted to make this blog private because i feel that i don't have any flexibility on writing.

No offense peeps. I still love u all...

Miss My Normal Life...

2009-08-30T19:15:00.000+08:00

Baru kali ini gw kembali lagi nulis di sini.
Masih berpikir antara mau nulis Bahasa Indonesia ato Bahasa Inggris.

Sebenernya mungkin post gw bakal pendek aja untuk sekarang.
Gw cuma pengen nulis apa yang gw rasakan sekarang ini.

Kalau terkadang ditanya gw kuat ato gak,
gw bakal jawab kuat pasti kuat.
Intinya gw cuma ga mau ngerepotin orang laen.

Tapi sebenernya di dalam hati gw yah, beginilah gw.
Sejak pertama kali dokter bilang kaki gw retak, gak tau apa yang gw rasakan.
Gw cuma takut dan yang tau reaksi gw waktu itu cuma temen gw.

Takutnya pun ga bisa gw gambarkan, semua rasanya terjadi begitu saja dan yang gw takutnya benar terjadi.
Walopun udah ketiga kalinya seperti ini, tapi tetep aj takut.
Dan sampai sekarang rasa takut itu masih ada.

Sederhana saja sebenernya sekarang,
bisa dbilang ironis ato tidak, gw pun gak tau.
Biasa disuru jalan aja males, sekarang gw bener2 kangen untuk jalan. Dan ga ada yang tau itu.
Biasa disuru mandi pagi aja males, sekarang gw kangen untuk mandi pagi. Dan ga ada yang tau itu.
Biasa ke Pyramid untuk maen bersama teman2 itu hal yang biasa, tapi sekarang mungkin menjadi luar biasa. Dan ga ada yang tau itu.

Sekarang berjalan adalah impian gw. Mandi normal menjadi impian gw. Dan pergi ke Pyramid lagi adalah impian gw. Dan mungkin ga ada yang tau itu.
Gw cuma yaking Tuhan akan selalu bersama gw. Dan Dia pasti selalu bantu gw.

Dan dimana gw menangis pas nulis ini, mungkin ga ada yang tau jg.
Hanya Tuhan dan gw yang tau.

Cheers everyone, I'll be back soon... =)

Rubbish into Gold...

2009-05-30T00:40:00.000+08:00

Last week, i met my lecturer to discuss my assignment with him. I went with some of my group members and another member from another group. Let say the initial of the lecturer is BL (for safety purpose so that everyone which is on my side will not try to kill him because he has driven me crazy). Ok, back to topic...

So, we went into his office, the feeling was so gloomy, so dark, and so cold. Goosebumps are appeared on the whole body, wolves are howling. He stared at us just like want to eat us straight away. Haha... No la, no la... BL won't be like that. He is a nice person. So, as usual he accepted us very nice and he asked us to have a sit, make ourselves like home but no milo or teh o suam even tough there are instant milo and tea there. Hehe...

The discussion started with a question. A very simple question that we really couldn't answer.

The question is (Jeng jeng jeng *drumroll*) "What is the purpose of doing this (assignment)?".

He made us like a kindergarten students who didn't now anything. We are timid, we are small, and we are sweating. The feeling was just the same. So cold and dark, he stared at us and made us want to run as soon as possible. However, we are Spartan and hauu hauu... We will not run because of him... Doohhh... We can't run btw, we are having discussion.

We tried to answer him 1 by 1 from very good answer that we can think about until the nonsense one. And all answers are wrong, how great that is and how smart we are. Haha... BL is very very special la. We really cannot know what he wants and what he teaches (ooopss... =P). When you all want to know what he wants you have to go inside his mind and understand his world which is very hard to do.
Ok we tried these answers already:
1. To know how to make something. (Wrong...)
2. To write about something. (Wrong...)
3. To gain more knowledge about a thing. (Wrong...)
4. Because this is our assignment. (Wrong...)

It was just like what the he**. We spent 15 minutes on this question without getting it correct and in 5 minutes we had our marketing lecturer. However, he gave up on us. He told us the answer. The answer that was never crossed in our mind. Very deep, very careful, and quite unbelievable. The answer that sent us to another world, answer that smashed us to the bottom of the earth.

BL:"The purpose of doing this is we are trying to know how to transform RUBBISH into GOLD!! Ha Ha Ha... *he was laughing very loud* (for most of people in his class should know how he laughs)"

Arggghhh...(People screaming)
*Earthquake everywhere* *People running here and there*
*Storm and thunder are shouting one another* Ok too much...Nothing happened actually...

It was just the most shocking moment of the day with that shocking answer. Haha...
Good job BL...

Saya Bangga Menjadi Seorang Indonesia

2009-05-23T16:40:00.000+08:00

Hei semua...
Saya kembali. Hehe...

Kemarin gw lagi buka-buka facebook terus ga sengaja liat petikan ini di status facebook temen gw. Pertama kali baca langsung merinding. Entah kenapa gw merinding. Tapi yang jelas di kalimat ini tercermin rasa bangga dan cinta seseorang yang mengucap kalimat ini terhadap Indonesia.
Di tengah banyaknya masalaah yang dihadapi negeri kita, apa yang bisa kita lakukan?
Hanya hati yang teguh dan setia, yang bisa tetap mencintai negeri Indonesia.
Karena gw dilahirkan disana, gw menjunjung nama Indonesia.
Gw akan membesarkan namanya. =)

Ini kalimat yang gw temukan kemarin:

"Aku adalah seorang Indonesia yang bangga melihat negeriku tak pernah takluk oleh zaman. Dan aku percaya bahwa sekecil apapun yang aku lakukan pada negeriku, akan membuat bangsaku semakin besar."
(Petikan dari kalimat terakhir dari iklan Mall Grand Indonesia di Koran Kompas.)

Jadi, bagaimana menurut anda??

Farid is Farid...

2009-04-20T18:26:00.000+08:00

I do not want to be weak.
I know I am strong.
There is no one to share with, and I'm afraid to do so.
I do not know whether i have made mistakes or not, I'm still human.

Human can cry, can't we?
Am I human when i do not want to cry?

I am human...I still need HIM...
I am strong... But i still need HIM no matter what...

And the new story of my life will start very soon...
Hope i can have a year full of goodness and full of great experiences...
Farid is Farid...
Become a better man...

Cheers,

FaridTheGreat

Late April...

2009-04-18T20:42:00.000+08:00

Ai..I'm back...

It's late April already...It's been such a long time i haven't put anything here...
Ya...Life is busy.Life is hard...
Things are getting complicated...

Still, life must go on.
See you soon. Really soon. Because time will meet us.

Cheers,

Late April "FaridTheGreat"

Hanya bisa tersenyum...

2009-03-26T21:05:00.000+08:00

Entah tersadar atau tidak, aku menulis di shout out facebook ku, "Farid hanya bisa tersenyum..."

Farid hanya bisa tersenyum.
Kalimat itu punya banyak arti sebenarnya. Tergantung persepsi orang mengartikan itu sebagai yang negatif ato positif. Tetapi bagiku, apapun yang terjadi aku akan tersenyum hingga tidak ada yang mengetahui apa yang sebenarnya kurasakan. Aku paling tidak suka air mata dan kesedihan, walaupun itu adalah hal yang lumrah dan mesti terjadi di kehidupan ini karena air mata dan kesedihan adalah warna dari hidup melengkapi perasaan yang lainnya.
Aku bukan hanya bisa tersenyum. Tapi aku memang ingin selalu tersenyum di balik perihnya hati ini. Tak ada yang tahu... Hanya aku dan Tuhan, dan kami berdua selalu berbagi. Aku bisa bercerita denganNya. Dia pendengar yang baik, tidak seperti aku yang seringkali tidak mau mendengarkan Dia.

Aku ingin tetap tersenyum.
Tanpa ada yang mengganggu, tanpa ada yang mempersoalkan mengapa aku tersenyum.
Tanpa ragu aku akan membagikan senyumku pada semuanya.
Tanpa harus aku meminta imbalan.

Hidup ini terlalu singkat untuk mengumbar emosi dimana2...
Jangan pernah terbawa...
Tetap tersenyum...

Power of Smile

2009-03-23T18:06:00.000+08:00

Smile...
This 5 letters word...(umm wait...5 letters right? S M I L E... yeap correct. 5 letters word...Haha...)
This 5 letters word have a hidden power in it. No one knows and no one can describe but there is a power behind a smile. Smile can substitute any word and just show your smile to others then you can warm those people heart or even you change their day into a better day.
See...
Only a smile can do something...

And now, i miss that smile. Really-really miss that smile.
Warm, no pressure, and just smile...
Nothing else. Nothing but smile, a curve in her lips which can make me feels comfortable.
Yea i know it's just for a while but...

Now, it's time for me to smile to everyone. I want to make changes for others just by giving smile to others. It sounds easy but actually it's hard to do. No matter what, i want to make other happy.

"There are a thousand reasons to smile, and you are one of them."

2009-03-23T17:56:00.000+08:00

Sebuah nama, Sebuah cerita...

2009-03-17T16:18:00.000+08:00

Kalo liat judul ini, mungkin semua tahu kali yah judulnya menjiplak. Yap, ini judul album terakirnya peterpan, yang gw sayangkan kenapa mereka harus bubar. Tapi apa mau dikata,semua sudah terjadi.hehe...
Tapi sebenernya kalimat ini benar-benar membuat aku berpikir. Indah memang jika memiliki sebuah nama dengan cerita-cerita menarik di dalamnya.

Sebuah nama, Sebuah cerita...
Ya, itu namanya, dialah orangnya, satu-satunya.
Mungkin hanya aku yang tahu,
karena memang untuk diriku kusimpan nama itu.
Kutunggu hari demi hari,
tanpa berkurang rasa ini.

Mungkin kau sendiri pun tidak tahu,
apa yang kurasa, walaupun ini bukan sebuah cerita.
Ini perasaanku...
Tenang, diam, dalam...
Tanpa harus berontak, berteriak, ataupun memaksa.
Tidak, bukan itu intinya.

Pernahkah aku menuntut walau aku ingin?
Tidak, itu pun bukan jalannya...
Satu-satunya jalan hanyalah bersabar dan menunggu...
Menunggu nama itu dan cerita indah bersama nya.
Sebuah nama, Sebuah cerita...

Dedicated to the one whom i loved...

Blessings in my life...

2009-03-13T15:26:00.000+08:00

This is the post when you don't know what to post...

The post when you don't know what to do...

Everyone might be think that i am the great pretender...
But i'm not. I'm just trying to be brave, as brave as Jesus when He has to walk with cross on his body to the Calvari. He was using those spine crown in His head at that time but still He made it.
Ok, I'm not Jesus but i'm trying to live like Him. And when He had to face that, His mother, His disciples, and even the stranger which was hung beside Him supported Him.
Yea...Here my friends are also supporting me. They have their own contribution to my life. And thanks God, my life is surrounded with Your blessings in any way.

Still, i won't give up for this. If it's the only way. I'll do it... And you'll see how much i love you...

Sore ini, duduk termenung...

2009-03-11T16:06:00.000+08:00

Yah sesuai dengan judulnya,aku cuma mau menulis singkat disini sore ini. Tidak tahu harus berkata dan berbuat apa,tetap aku cuma hanya ingin menulis. Maaf kalau akhir-akhir ini aku menulis dengan bahasa Indonesia, karena memang akan lebih mudah mengungkapkannya.

Tidak tahu apa yang terjadi seperti orang buta memang tidak sangat mengenakan. Semua hanya mengira-ngira dengan hati dan kekuatan indra perabanya, orang buta dapat bertahan hidup. Tapi tetap dia tidak dapat melihat apa yang sebenarnya terjadi. Namun terkadang, dengan tekad dan kepercaayaan, mereka dapat mengetahui dengan pasti apa yang terjadi. Mereka memiliki naluri tajam yang merupakan kelebihan mereka untuk menutupi kekurangannya itu. Tuhan memang serba adil, memberikan ketenangan pada umatNya.

Terkadang aku memang tidak melihat kejadian sekitar. Tidak melihat apa yang sebenarnya terjadi dan menarik nilai dari kejadian itu sendiri. Hidup ini terlalu sayang untuk dilewatkan begitu saja karena banyak pelajaran yang bisa dipetik dari dalamnya. Hingga sampai sekarang pun, sore ini aku duduk termenung disini dan menulis, masih tidak tahu apakah semua yang aku lakukan sudah benar. Apakah benar ini jalan dari Tuhan untukku. Sakit memang terkadang, tetapi aku melakukannya dengan ikhlas. Seperti sore ini, jika aku tidak berbincang dengan salah satu temanku, mungkin air mata itu sudah berlinang. Tetapi aku harus kuat karena aku selalu bersama Tuhan. Perbincangan dengan temanku itu sedikit menghilangkan kesedihanku dan kembali ke jalur yang tepat lagi. Hehe... Thank you...

God will always be with me.

Siang ini, Pulang Kuliah...

2009-03-10T16:50:00.000+08:00

Haruskah aku mengeluh di saat sekarang ini?
Jawabannya simple... Tidak!!! Aku tidak boleh mengeluh walaupun aku harus berjalan sendiri. Aku dikuatkan oleh kekuatan Nya. Yang mungkin tidak aku sadari dan mestinya cepat-cepat aku sadari karena anuegerahNya yang begitu besar di hidupku...

Aku mengerti aku lelah, tapi apa tidak ada yang lebih lelah dari aku?
Mungkin lebih banyak yang lebih lelah dan mungkin lebih parah dari aku. Aku hanya melihat sebagaian kecil dari hidupku yang memang sudah menjadi tugas sehari-hariku, yaitu belajar. Atau juga aku yang mungking kurang beruntung. Tetapi lihatlah sekitarku, aku masih bisa menuntut ilmu di suatu universitas yang bagus dan mestinya aku sadari itu adalah berkat. Aku masi memiliki teman-teman yang selalu ada disekitarku. Aku memiliki dia yang masih menunggu aku. Aku masi memiliki keluargaku yang sangat menyayangi aku.

Aku hanya bisa tersenyum dan duduk termenung di kamarku ini. Lalu aku merangkai kalimat demi kalimat di blogku ini. Sesaat teleponku berbunyi dan aku mengangkatnya. Dari orang yang tak kukenal,tapi sedikit bisa menghilangkan kepenatanku. Tadi aku pun sempat tertidur sepulangnya aku dari kampus, itupun bisa menghilangkan kepenatanku. Apapun yang ada di depan harus aku jalani. Tidak ada di dunia ini yang cukup mudah dan mestinya aku tetap berjuang untuk menjalaninya. Hari ini aku belum mendengar tentang dia sama sekali, pulsanya habis. Aku ingin cepat-cepat mendengar tentang dia...
Dan akhirnya, mungkin ini hanya sepenggal kisahku hari ini. Aku berharap mereka tahu bahwa aku tetap berjuang disini. Tidak ada kata main-main dan tidak ada kata tidak fokus karena aku selalu maksimal di setiap pilihanku...

I will always love her...

2009-03-06T18:05:00.000+08:00

Just now i finished reading a story. The story is quite long which i don't want to tell again to you all. The moral of the story is loving someone as long as you can with all your heart cause when that person is not near you or around you anymore you will feel that she/he is the only one who had given the best to you...
Just as i finished reading that story, i felt that all my blood was flowing faster. An undescriable feeling that defeated my fear, my doubt, and make me feel that the story gave a new power to keep loving her as long as i can.

For Her, the one and only, you know how much i love you. I will never let you be alone, i will give my hug, my shoulder to cry on, and I will be someone for you who can share everything with. I know, we are far away now but one day i will see you again.

I will always love you... =)

Nothing much...

2009-03-05T21:26:00.000+08:00

Yap...Nothing much...
I'm just trying my best... MY BEST!!! Once again...
While others don't know what happened and what i feel. It will be just me. Me who know the thing better than everyone and know how the real feeling is.
It is hard...Very hard to describe and very hard to be understood maybe. But, sharing to this numb blog who always be the good listener on what i feel will be the best way except I keep thanking and chatting with my God, the only one who understand everything and always help me with his ways. He pours me with His love everyday so that i'm strong. I will be strong everyday to face this alone, to defend on whatever that bugging me on that particular thing...

I should end my story now...

"Lelahmu jadi lelahku juga. Bahagiamu, bahagiaku pasti...
...kali ini hampir habis dayaku membuktikan padamu ada cinta yang nyata.
Setia, hadir setiap hari. Tak tega biarkan kau sendiri.
Meski sering kali kau malah asik sendiri..." (Malaikat Juga Tahu, Dewi Lestari)

Semangat Farid!!!

And i don't know what to do...

2009-02-05T00:11:00.000+08:00

Ya... I just don't know what to do.
Indeed, it is bothering me for now and i can't find the answer...
That makes me feel uncertain.

But, I hope and I believe God will always with me...

Bless me God.
Thank You for all the things that You've been given to me.
Everything's will be fine in Your hands.

Happy Chinese New Year...

2009-01-21T22:17:00.000+08:00

Gw harus nulis ap?
Kalo nyatanya gw tidak tahu harus nulis apa...Hehe....

When we realized that things are not going in ways that we wanted, just let all those things went away because things are not going according to our plans but let things are going according to His plans...

But still...
Feeling can be hurt...
Mistakes can be made...
Revenge can be taken...
Tears can be dropped...

Stand still with Him because on Him every little thing is gonna be all right.
I knew i made mistakes but i was not that bad in the past. I asked apologize from you but still you do not want to understand...

Back off!!!

Seandainya aku...

2009-01-21T06:00:00.000+08:00

Hari ini...January 20th, 2008 banyak sekali kejadian penting dari dunia ini.
Presiden Amerika kulit hitam pertama dilantik hari ini. Congratulations to Obama. Wish him all the best...
Tapi aku juga membuat langkah besar dalam hidup. Berat memang...

Seandainya aku belum menjadi teman terbaik, rangkulah aku...
Seandainya aku sudah menjadi teman terbaikmu, kuucapkan terima kasih...
Seandainya aku belum sempurna di hadapan semua, aku bukan malaikat, pahamilah aku...
Seandainya aku sudah melakukan yang terbaik di hadapan semua, kuucap syukur...
Seandainya aku sering melakukan kesalahan, maafkanlah aku...
Seandainya aku menghibur, akan kulakukan terus tanpa pamrih...

Seandainya aku bisa menjadi yang terbaik tanpa melakukan kesalahan, aku tidak akan menjadi manusia seperti ini...
Seandainya semua bisa diulang hingga tidak ada yang tersakiti, maka mungkin hidup tidak berwarna-warni...

Jadi maafkan aku bila belum sempurna, tapi aku akan terus berusaha yang terbaik untuk menjadi seseorang...

Happy New Year 2009

2009-01-02T12:47:00.000+08:00

FaridTheGreat wants to say to you all:

"Happy New Year 2009 and wish you all the best through the whole new year. God Bless You and God Bless Indonesia!!!"

Thank you readers...

Car Free Day??

2008-12-28T22:36:00.000+08:00

Ok..Pagi ini Minggu, 28 Desember 2008 gw bangun pagi2 sengaja buat meninjau yang namanya "Car Free Day". Itu event dimana Jl. Thamrin dan Sudirman ditutup untuk segala kendaraan bermotor dari Pk. 06:00 - 14:00 (Kalo ga salah yah...) Dan diselenggarakan setiap minggu terakhir dari setiap bulannya. Ok... Karena gw dateng untuk pertama kalinya jadi gw datang dengan antusiasme tinggi. Tapi *jeng jeng jeng* (efek suara ceritanya) apa yang gw peroleh? Sebuah pemandangan aneh bin ajaib yang menjengkelkan ato entah harus ditertawakan, gw pun ga tahu... Jadi ada beberapa point yang mau gw bahas disini.

1. Menilik dari asal kata dan artinya, ekspetasi tinggi gw berharap bahwa Jakarta akan berkurang polusinya at least setengah hari dari setiap bulannya karena itu event namanya "Car Free Day" yang kalo di Indonesiain itu yah hari bebas mobil. Masih mending gak satu Jakarta bebas mobil. Bisa pusing juga saya. Akan tetapi, (halah formal sekali) ternyata dan ternyata. Fakta membuktikan *gaya Sonny Tulung di Family 100* yang bebas kendaraan itu cm jalur cepatnya aja. Sedangkan di jalur lambat masi aje banyak kendaraan seliweran. Haiah... Ini mah percuma aj gw pikir-pikir. Jalanin kog setengah-setengah gini, jadi yang mesti disalahin sapa donk kalo gini? Kalo mau free ya uda tutup semua donk. Toh cuma setengah hari dalam satu bulan. Sekali-sekali susah dikit gapapa donk? Dan lagi secara itu asap kendaraan masi aja ngepul dari jalur lambat. Ga kasihan apa sama orang yang lagi berolah raga? Nti tujuannya menyehatkan tubuh, eh malahan sakit paru-paru. Terlalu...

2. Berikutnya, lagi-lagi masalah kata-kata "Car Free Day"... Mungkin mereka mengartikan bahwa sepeda motor itu ga termasuk car, jadi masih boleh masuk ke jalur cepat. Padahal biasanya aja ga boleh... Nah pagi tadi hampir aja ada anak lagi naek sepeda ketabrak motor, karena kebiadaban eh salah maksudnya kebiasaan tuh motor srudak sruduk dan ngebut. Untung aja hampir tapi belum terjadi. Nah gw semakin yakin mestinya namanya "Car and Motorcycle Free Day" Haha...

3. The last but not least, ini kejadian rada memalukan sih sebenernya secara gw baru pertama kali ke sana. Gw hampir aja ditabraka Transjakarta. Uedan tenan... Sensasinya menggelitik bkin merinding. Gw pikir ituh jalanan bener-bener free sampe di Busway nya..eh ternyata pas gw berdiri di jalur Busway dan gw lagi asik2 moto. Tiba-tiba 2 kali klakson keras dan gw lihat ke belakang ada bus segede apaan tau. Haha.. Untung gw masi diselamatkan sama yang Maha Kuasa...

Yah cukup sekian deh...Tersera kalian mau tertawa atau prihatin. Itulah yang ada... Masukan aja buat yang ngadain event ini, kalo mau ngadain jangan setengah-setengah dan aturan mainnya harus jelas donk. ok? Kan kasian itu yang mau olah raga.Hehe...

Aku kangen Dia

2008-12-23T22:52:00.000+08:00

This will be a short post menjelang Natal tiba.
Tiba-tiba gw kangen dia...Jangan bilang siapa-siapa yah. Karena hanya Tuhan dan aku yang tau.Hehehe...

Jalan-jalan Ke Bali

Di sini gw ga mau nulis banyak tentang ap yang gw lakukan disana. How fun when i went there ato makanan ap aja yg gw mkan dsana. Tetapi disini gw mau nulis sedikit renungan tentang arti Bali bagi Indonesia dan makna ap yang bisa kita tarik dari sebuah perjalanan ke pulau berjuluk Pulau Dewata tersebut.

Sebetulnya, kalo boleh dibilang Bali akan sama saja dengan wisata pulau lainnya dimanapun itu berada karena yang namanya pulau identik dengan pantai. Begitu pula Bali yang memang terkenal dengan Pantai Kuta dan banyak wisatawan mancanegara datang ke situ dengan tujuan surfing. Buan surfing di internet loh. Itu mah di rumah masing-masing juga bisa. Hehe.. Ok, back to topic. Coba deh kalo mau diliat benar-benar masih banyak dari sekedar senang-senang yang bisa didapat dari kunjungan ke Pulau Dewata itu...

Pulau itu bukan sekedar pulau untuk senang-senang sebenarnya. Di situlah identitas asli bangsa kita. Cukuplah kita berbangga hati masih memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan dengan negara lain yang belum tentu punya Pulau yang menghasilkan devisa negara, juga sebagai identitas bangsa, dan dimana keramahan Indonesia asli terlihat. Kebudayaan di Bali jg masi kental dijaga oleh penduduknya. Lengkap memang ke"Indonesia"an Bali yang begitu kental.

Tidak peduli dulu pernah menjadi sasaran serangan teroris, Bali masih menjadi saah satu pilihan liburan bagi turis dalam dan luar negeri. Berharap masi bisa menjadi pesona Indonesia, jagalah Ia dengan baik. Jangan rusak cita rasa Indonesia asli di dalam setiap aspek Bali. Dan akhirnya, tetaplah berbangga menjadi orang Indonesia, karena kita tidak seperti yang lainnya karena kita sadar bahwa Indonesia tidak sepenuhnya jelek dan tetap harus dijaga.

Sampe jumpa di perjalanan berikutnya, Au Revoir...

Lawang Sewu dan Kharismanya...

2008-12-01T00:16:00.000+08:00

Kali ini gw mau cerita pengalaman gw masuk Lawang Sewu di Semarang yang ceritanya sih angker menurut orang. Kalo yang belum tau Lawang Sewu itu apa akan gw jelaskan. Jadi ditilik (halah ditilik…so asik…)menurut asal katanya yaitu bahasa Jawa, lawang berarti pintu dan sewu berarti seribu. Kalo digabung berarti pintu seribu. Yah betul, Lawang Sewu itu memang merupakan bangunan tua peninggalan Belanda yang mempunyai pintu sangat banyak jadi diumpamakan memiliki jumlah pintu 1000 saking banyak pintunya. Untuk blogger-blogger international,maap yah karena gw menulis dengan Bahasa Indonesia, ini demi mendukung kualitas tulisan gw.

Rabu, 19 November 2008 gw ditemani sama 1 temen gw yang dari Semarang (Ceritanya tour guide gitu. Eh ternyata dia juga belum pernah masuk ke sana. Haha…) memunculkan ide gila menembus semua anggapan-anggapan mistis tersebut. Jiwa petualang gw mengalahkan rasa takut yang muncul. Jadi kita berdua memberanikan diri untuk dating ke sana dan masuk ke dalam berjalan-jalan di dalam gedung tua itu dan tak lupa mengambil foto untuk koleksi saya. Gw akuin perjalanan ini merupakan salah satu momen menarik liburan gw kali ini karena dari dulu gw pengen banget masuk kesana. Dan dengan pengalaman yang gw punya gw akan mencoba memandu lu untuk bisa merasakan bagaimana sensasi tersebut. Hahaha…

Overall, seisi ruangan di dalam serta koridornya gelap dan benar-benar gelap walaupun itu di siang hari. Sumber cahaya satu-satunya dari gedung itu adalah jendela-jendela serta pintu-pintu yang jumlahnya 1000 itu. Tapi itu mungkin tak akan dibuka lg karena sudah tidak ada penghuninya. Gelap disana menambah sensasi greng yang ada saat itu.

Pertama kali masuk, kita langsung disuguhi oleh tangga yang menuju ke atas dari gedung tersebut dan menara dari gedung tersebut. Di dinding menara itu terdapat ornamen mozaik kaca yang indah dan elegan menambah keklasikan gedung tersebut dan menambah semerbak rasa brrr yang ada. Hehe… Susunan tangga dan ornament mozaik kaca tersebut sangat khas bergaya eropa. Selain itu, tangganya diapit oleh 2 koridor besar dan 2 gang kecil dimana 2 koridor besar yang gelap tersebut adalah bagian dari sisi bangunannya yang berbentuk segi empat dan 2 gang kecil tersebut mengantar kita ke lapangan luas di tengah-tengah bangunan.

Megah, 1 kata yang terlintas di benak gw saat pertama kali masuk ke situ. Sebuah mahakarya zaman dahulu dengan segala kreatifitas dan keeleganannya. Akan tetap, gedung tuat itupun menunjukkan kharismanya. Daya mistis langsung benar-benar terasa saat melihat 2 koridor nan gelap di kiri kanan tangga. Sebenarnya rasa takut itu hanya sedikit tetapi perasaan kagum akan gedung ini lebih besar karena charisma dari gedung ini sendiri terpancar menunjukkan kekuatan di zamannya sebagai symbol kekuasaan Belanda waktu itu. Yah ngeri-ngeri dikit sih ada, apalagi kalo sendiri gimana gitu.hehe…

Setelah itu gw masuk ke area lebih dalam dari bangunan itu yang merupakan lapangan terbuka yang mungkin waktu itu digunakan sebagai lapangan upacara karena ada tiang bendera disitu. Lapangan itu dikelilingi oleh 4 bangunan tua yang menyusun gedung itu dengan jumlah pintu dan jendela yang sangat banyak. 4 bagian itu tersusun sebagai segi empat. Fantastis betul arsitek gedung ini. Lalu perjalanan dilanjutkan ke lantai 2 gedung ini melalui tangga dari pintu masuk. Di atas pun gelap tetapi ada cahaya yang masuk dari balkon. Balkon tersebut menghadap langsung Tugu Muda dan kantor walikota Semarang.

Perjalanan terpaksa diakhiri disitu karena kami tidak cukup berani untuk menjelajah lebih dalam ke penjara bawah tanah. Walaupun naluri petualang gw sudah memanggil-manggil tapi baiknya kami tidak melakukannya karena kami tidak menggunakan guide. Penelusuran Lawang Sewu cukup berkesan buat gw. Awalnya memang ngeri tapi setelah beradaptasi, lama-lama ok juga.Hehe..
Sampe ketemu di penjelajahan berikutnya. Au Revoir!!!

Tomorrow is Fundamental of Food Science Paper...

2008-11-04T02:35:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow is Fundamental of Food Science Paper:

1. And now I'm still sitting behind my laptop, browsing and writing some blogs.
2. And just now i gave comment and testimonial to my friends in friendster.
3. And the lazyness is increasing as the moisture level of my body is decreasing because i haven't taken shower since i woke up. It means my shelf life is increasing because the moisture is low and bacteria, molds, etc cannot grow in my body. (Effect of too much reading Food Science Lecture Notes) haha..joke joke..
4. And i woke up at 10 o'clock which is so late according to my time.

Anyway..enough for that...
I just want you all to know, i will do my best for tomorrow's paper because according to Dr. Siow,
She said, "This paper is no joke. You got to be serious..." (Lee Fong, 2008)
Okay, in the middle of my busy life of preparing exam, some other things are also came across my mind which are not really good having those things in my mind now. But then i will be okay, since i said just now i will do my best...For sure...

For the people there, Miss you so much...And cant wait to go to THAT island...

All da best peeps for tomorrow...Especially my friend, Fani who is now scared about her paper tomorrow because of some infos that stated that 80% of students who took this subject (HRM subject) last semester failed this subject. Wow... What a number...Hehe...
Anyway, you can still do it. You push your effort to the max, you do your best, and give all to GOD. He surely helps you everytime you need eventhough you are still scared.Hehe...
Remember, do not say, "God I have a big paper." But you have to say, "Hey paper, i have my big GOD."
GO Fani..You can do it... (Dedicated to Stefhani Kosasih)

In the middle of my Final Exam (2nd semester 2008)

2008-10-29T11:23:00.000+08:00

Yup.. Correct..
In the middle of my final i'm supposed to be studying, but then i feel like want to write some in my blog. Long time i haven't posted any since the last one, "Mimpi".

I do not know whether i'm supposed to write a long one or a short one but as long as i can write, then i will keep on writing. Haha..

Anyway, in the next 2 days i will face my 2nd paper which is SCI2010. Even the subject name i do not know, from the beginning of semester i just know the code for this subject. I also do not know what is it about since i've never really listened to the lecture (sshh...don't tell anyone..haha...). However, i'm enjoying learning this subject since there is a lot of stupid yet fun things inside.Lol...

But 1 thing here is i feel very lazy to study this subject. I really have no idea why it is happened. But i still believe i can do it and i can go through it with my BIG GOD!! He will always be with me, at home, foyer, MonashUni, and also Orange. Haha...
Luckily, i have some friends to accompany me studying this which we can laugh together and eat everything while hungry while we are studying at foyer.(Thanks to Fani, Vina, Leo, and Joni sometimes). I also thank Edi (my housemate) for his bed which i usually laid down on and study together with him while i'm bored to study alone at home. And the last but not least, recently i have a very good friend who can accompany me chit-chatting while i'm bored through message and share some care with me (Thanks to Jin Jin...Haha...)

Keep fighting everyone!! Can't wait to go to THAT Island. haha...

Mimpi..

2008-10-06T19:54:00.000+08:00

Saya berjalan pulang sendiri stelah makan malam...Di perjalanan saya tidak bisa berbicara dengan orang2 secara saya sendiri. Tetapi, pikiran saya lah yg bermein serta menari2 dengan topik yang dia mau. Dia mencoba berkonfrontasi dengan hati saya dan akirnya membuat suatu pemikiran...

Cukup sederhana memang..Mimpi..Tetapi pertanyaan berikut bs gak lu smua jawab...
Apakah pembaca smua punya mimpi?
Mimpi yg benar2 mimpi ato cm sekedar mimpi belaka dan mngucap "Ahh..gw pngen ini.." tp tanpa terlaksana?
Takutkah anda dengan mimpi anda itu hingga tidak berani bermimpi sperti itu lg?

Jawabannya saya yakin tidak perlu dijawab disini. Buatlah sebagai pengetuk hati anda masing-masing, bukannya sok menggurui ato apa, tetapi kekuatan mimpi ato impian itu sendiri yang bs mnyemangati diri saya sendiri. Diri saya sendiri terkadang takut bermimpi, tetapi itu dulu. Sekarang tidak lg dan sekarang saya mencoba terus bermimpi ataupun mewujudkan satu per satu mimpi dan impian saya yang pernah singgah dan mengetuk hati saya.

Saya rasa cukup segitu dulu sharenya hari ini. Tapi yg jelas tetaplah bermimpi karena mimpimu itu akan menjadikan suatu dorongan bagi dirimu sendiri. Jangan pernah berhenti bermimpi atau takut bermimpi karena mimpilah awal dari segala usaha dan inspirasi.

Ingatlah kata-kata ini karena saya sangat suka kata-kata ini...

"Bermimpilah...Dan biarkan Tuhan memeluk mimpi-mimpimu itu..."
-Andrea Hirata, Laskar Pelangi-

Bersyukurlah pada Tuhan karena semua mimpimu bisa terwujud. Dia yang mengijinkan mimpi itu terwujud jd jangan pernah lupa untuk bersyukur pada-Nya...

Some Random Posts...

2008-10-02T01:24:00.000+08:00

Haiyo...Throughout the whole month which was last month I found some random things in the road or even in my class which was funny in my opinion..

First of all, I found a brochure on the road.. On the brochure there was written, "love our pisang? Join the family..."
When i first saw it..i was like..What?? Whose pisang here? What pisang do they mean?? Why pisang? Why don't they use apple or durian?? Hmmm..wondering now.. However, found out that it's not only for girl actually. It is for people who wants to study graphic i guessed... Anyway, why do they use "PISANG"??? LOLz...

"Love our PISANG??"
I answered, "Depends on the size lho...Hahahah"

Next was handwriting from my friend that i saw it on the lab... But, it was quite unbelievable and showed that how cool my class is..

My friend Karen wrote, "Cannot be differentiated"
Then under it, she wrote, "Seriously...Dr. Siow (my lecturer) said to write just as this..."
She made an arrow to another sentence, "No need to compare..Easy right?"
Hahaha... Dr. Siow is cool...

See.... Dr. Siow said to write just as this...LOLzz...

That's all for my post today...
Selamat Idul Fitri bagi yg merayakan...Maaf Lahir dan Batin...

Tips Aman Tinggalkan Rumah Saat Mudik...

2008-09-27T09:31:00.000+08:00

Wah..akirnya setelah Si Kacrut ilang kemana entah beberapa lama, balik juga dia disini di Dunia Kacrut..Hehe... Pas balik2 udah mau lebaran nih. Trus gitu orang-orang pasti dah pd siap2 mau mudik kan? Maka dari itu gw berikan tips aman tinggalkan rumah buat mudik...Hehe...

Tak perlu berlama-lama lg..langsung saja...

Tips Aman Tinggalkan Rumah Saat Mudik:
1. Jadi, pertama-tama pastikan rumah terkunci rapat hingga tidak memberi kesempatan para pencuri, kucing garong, ataupun kucing-kucing kampung yang berkeliaran mengintip, melihat, ataupun mengendus ap yg ada di dalam rumah. Perhatikan juga jangan taruh ikan asin karena biasa kucing sangat suka ikan asin.

2. Cek semua peralatan rumah tangga baik elektronik maupun tidak. Terutama kompor, pastikan bahwa kompor itu tidak terbuka gasnya karena dapat mnyebabkan kebakaran. Selain itu, listrik lebih baik dimatikan agar tidak terjadi hubungan-hubungan pendek ataupun hubungan terlarang seperti hubungan suami-istri.Loh??

3. Jangan meninggalkan jemuran karena bisa menarik perhatian maling jemuran terutama daleman2 yang bs meningkatkan keinginan atau gairah para maling jemuran.

4. Jangan meninggalkan sisa makanan atau sisa nasi di dlm rumah anda karena bisa menyebabkan bau tidak sedap karena basi.

5. Rumah sebaiknya menggunakan kunci gembok tambahan. Kalau perlu dirantai dan digembok lalu dirantai lg. Hingga tidak bisa ditembus oleh angin ataupun cahaya. (Emangnya mau buat benteng?) Tapi bener juga, kalo kentut aja ga bisa tembus...Gmn donk?hahaha...

6. Titiplah rumah pada ketua RT. Maksudnya kunci rumahnya biar suru jaga2 n liat2in gt. Jangan rmhnya dititipin ke ketua RT...berat atuh...Dan jangan juga coba2 titip kunci rumah ke malingnya atau orang yg tidak dikenal..bisa2 dibobol nti rumahnya..haha...

Sekian tips dari saya..Sampai Jumpa..Dunia Kacrut!!

Dirgahayu Indonesiaku

2008-08-18T01:00:00.000+08:00

Hari ini 17 Agustus 2008 tepatnya 63 tahun yang lalu Bangsa kita mengumandangkan Proklamasi Kemerdekaan atas Jepang. Sudah 3.5 abad dijajah oleh Belanda dan 3.5 tahun dijajah oleh Jepang... Waktu itu Soekarno-Hatta sebagai wakil Bangsa kita menandatangani surat proklamasi itu sekaligus menjadi presiden dan wakil presiden pertama Indonesia.
Tepat Pk 10.00 WIB, upacara digelar dan naskah dibacakan oleh Bung Karno. Dengan lantang dan penuh percaya diri Beliau membaca naskah tersebut. Dan untuk pertama kalinya juga di upacara itu Sang Saka Merah Putih dikibarkan...

Setelah meliat rekamannya, betapa bangganya gw sudah menjadi bagian dari Indonesia. Gw ga pernah menyesal kenapa gw dilahirkan di Indonesia. Bayangkan saja, kita meraih kemerdekaan dengan keringat sendiri. Banyak sudah pahlawan yang gugur waktu itu, demi mewujudkan Indonesia merdeka. Tp tetap itu perjuangan mereka, perjuangan Bangsa kita sendiri. Tidak diberikan oleh siapapun...

Dari smua cerita gw di atas. Terbersit pertanyaan di pikiran gw sekarang. Sekarang, gw uda 20 tahun menyandang Indonesia sebagai kewarganegaraan gw. Sudah 63 tahun Indonesia merdeka. Tapi apa yang uda gw buat bagi Indonesia??
Jawabannya mudah... BELUM!! Gw belum bs buat apa2 buat Indonesia gw rasa. Tapi di dlm hati nurani gw, terbersit satu keinginan bahwa dengan ilmu yg gw miliki nanti di bidang pangan, paling tidak bs membantu Indonesia. Terlalu berlebih memang.. Tapi itu sbuah impian dari pribadi gw. Klo bisa tercapai, betapa lebih bangganya gw menjadi orang Indonesia walau gw kuliah di luar negeri sekarang.

Jadi, gw hanya ucapin Dirgahayu buat bangsa gw tercinta Indonesia. Semoga tetap berjaya dan cepat keluar dari kesulitan. Tetap berjuang dan Tuhan selalu lindungi kita semua dan para pemimpin kita. Memang memimpin negara itu sulit, jadi jangan terlalu banyak menuntut karena mereka juga manusia biasa yang punya keterbatasan.
Selamat juga bagi Markis Kido dan Hendra Setiawan yang mengumandangkan Indonesia Raya pertama kalinya di Olimpiade Beijing 2008 tepat di Hari Ulang Tahun Indonesia.
Dan tak lupa saya mengucapkan selamat kepada Bapak SBY yang menimang cucu pertamanya di hari yang sama juga dengan HUT Indonesia...

Tetap semangat...Tetap berjuang... Hidup Indonesia...
Kepada Sang Saka Merah Putih.... Hormaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt Grak...

Lagi-lagi...Merk macam apa tuh??

2008-07-24T18:30:00.000+08:00

Suatu kali..gw pergi ke pertokoan yg cukup ternama di suatu negara tetangga Indonesia..hehe..

Pertokoan ini cukup besar dan sesuai dengan namanya memang "besar sekali".Hehe.. Sebetulnya di Indonesia pun ada sih...sm jg kog namanya...

Nah ap yg gw temukan dsana ialah suatu imitasi dari merk ternama brand alat2 kesehatan mulut yaitu Oral B..
Emang si..pertama2 merk Oral B ini udah gw temukan nyangkut dengan indahnya di baju yg dijual di mall.Tp dirubah namanya menjadi "Oral Me"... Nah lho??

-T-shirt bertuliskan Oral Me-

Oral Me??
Apakah ini mengkonotasikan negatif ato konotasi positif arahnya??
Kalau memang mengarah ke konotasi positif..yah ini memang murni sebagai plesetan dan lucu2an saja...bnar toh??
Tp klo mengkonotasikan negatif...nah lho?? Oral me... Emangnya minta dioral ama sapa tuh?Hahaha..enak2 aja jlan pake minta dioral sgala.hahahha...What were they thinking?? (AVGN, 2008) hahaha..

TP yg lbih mengejutkan lagi..

Dunia Perfilman

2008-06-25T15:16:00.000+08:00

Wah...Kutu beras bener..gw sendirian oi di KL. Orang2 uda pada pulang gitu.. Kaya kota mati juga ni Sunway..Dr td pagi bangun uda bertelor di kamar, plng kluar kamar cm mkn doank karena tuntutan lambung yg sudah mlai menggelar konser jazz dipadu dengan rock kontemporer sehingga ckup membuat gw tau bahwa gw lapar. Ya sudah, jd pergilah gw dengan Arwin, kawan senasib sepenanggungan gw yang jg blm plng ke tanah air tercinta untuk berjuang mendapatkan sesuap nasi di luar sana (padahal gak ampe berjuang jg sih)...

Hoho..Diliat dr judulnya sbenernya uda jelas neh bahwasannya tulisan berikut ini akan membahas perfilman di jagat dunia mana pun. Jd untuk hal2 yg kurang mengenakan ato yg tidak berkenan, saya sebagai penulis bodo amat. Haha...

Jadi gini..
Namanya film itu kan dibuat untuk dinikmati berjuta2 orang di sluruh dunia ini. Selera orang jelas berbeda2 dan pandangan penonton satu dengan yang laen terhadap sebuah karya jelas berbeda jg. Nah, jenis2 film itu banyak banget hingga gw ga bisa nyebutin. Ga bisa ato karena emang gw ga tau, ga jelas jg sih. Haha..

Ya uda gw mlai aje deh..
Pertama gw akan membahas film-film yang berasal dari jagat dunia perfilman yang paling mutakhir dan banyak menghasilkan film2 berkualitas tinggi serta bagus (mnrt gw..) yaitu Hollywood.. Hollywood itu berasal dari negeri paman Sam sono tuh, Amerika. Menurut gw, film2 dari sono ok. Ada yg bs dibilang bagus banget tp ada jg yg bisa dibilang jelek. Yang biasa aja jg ada sih. Seiring dengan berjalannya perkembangan teknologi, film2nya semaking spekatakuler jg loh.Hehe...
Nah tapi ga semua film dr Hollywood ini keren loh.. Ad jg yg ga masuk akal seperti contohnya Rambo. Film yg satu ini cukup populer di kalangan babe2 kita nih mstinya. Film ini dibuat dari jaman ke jaman dengan bintang utama yg sama yaitu Sylvester Stallone. Terakhir dibuat aja film ini tuh tahun 2008 ini. Film yang berkisah tentang seorang bernama Rambo (sesuai judulnya) yang selalu menjadi pahlawan perang dan membantu orang kecil dan merana. (Lho2??)
Nah, beranjak dari situ mungkin. Yg namanya pahlawan kan ga bakal mati. Nti klo mati sapa lg donk yg bantuin. Trus gt nti klo mati ga bs bkin lanjutannya donk. Malah nti jdulnya Rambu ato Ramba.Halah.. makin aneh aj nti filmnya.. Jadi deh beranjak dari alesan2 di atas, si Rambo ini ga pna bisa mati oi. Gila bgt... Keluar dari sungai dengan senjata berpeluru ribuan dia bs setengah dari musuhnya. Trus klo dah abis pake piso ato pistol biasa. Orang2 yg nembakin dia pelurunya cm mampir ke sampign2nya dia aja. Paling jg nembakin air... Mantab benar bung Rambo...
Sapa cb yg bisa kaya dia?? Haha...

Ok...Kita tinggalkan film2 orang putih itu...
Sekarang beralih ke Bollywood...Lah mirip gt.. Cm beda di hurup B sm H nya ...Nah lo kog BH?? Halah ga pnting...
Iye ini industri perfilman dari India. Gak tau kenapa bisa keluarnya cm beda di B sm H doank. Tp kualitas filmnya sih mnrt gw beda 180 derajat. Itu opini gw yah. Tp klo yah emang ada yg suka si parah sukanya.haha... Mnurut gw ga ada bagus2nya...
Nah yg menjadi sorotan sekarang dan pertanyaan besar di pikiran gw adalah kenapa setiap film produksi sono itu harus ada tari menarinya?? Bingung ga lu.. Siapa yg pertama kali mengidekan itu hingga menjadi trademark film2 produksi sana. Dan kenapa jg produser2 dan sutradara2 berikutnya mengikuti. Tidak ada yang tahu... Ironis memang... Halah sok ironis...
Tp bukan cm itu... Selalu ada sekelompok orang tiba2 dateng untuk mendukung si pemain utama yang sedang menari. Padahal tadinya cuma berdua di tengah2 taman yang sepi ato gunung yg tinggi... Lalu mreka mlai menari dan menyanyi dan sekelompok pasukan tiba2 datang ikut menari. Loh loh?? Dr mana mreka datang?? Aneh benar...

Kita cukupkan deh blog kali ini...
Maju terus perfilman Indonesia...
Salam KACRUT!!

Banggalah Jadi Orang Indonesia (Bahasa)

2008-06-21T02:26:00.000+08:00

Nih deh gw kasi tuh. Dan lupakan exam yg memang sudah berlalu karena itu sudah berlalu dan ditutup dengan purkinje fibres..Wat the heck??

Nah klo diliat jdulnya, mstinya lu smua lngsung tau donk gw mau ngepost ap hr ini. Yap btul..tentang rasa nasionalisme dan kebanggaan kita menjadi bangsa Indonesia yg katanya kaya akan budaya serta Gemah Ripah loh Jinawi..(nah lho..artinya ap tuh??)

Iye..kite2 tuh msti bangga lagi jd orang Indonesia. Secara para pemuda petinggi kita dl udah menyingsingkan lengan baju untuk mengucap yg namanye Sumpah Pemuda yg isinya cuma 2 ntu..Nah dsini yg mau kt liat tuh tntang Bahasa Indonesia. Bunyinya gni bos, Kami putra-putri Indonesia berjanji berbahasa satu bahasa Indonesia.. Sebagai perbandingan itu pake bahasa negara yg namanya Malingsia..hehe... (disamarkan karena takut - red)

Cb betapa bagusnya bahasa kita klo mau dibandingkan dengan bahasa Malingsia...
Nih yah..Contoh pertama aj yg mngkin lu smua dah pada tau..
Bahasa kita = bahasa sono...
- Rumah sakit bersalin = Rumah sakit korban lelaki...
Lihat betapa gondelnya.Enak aja korban lelaki. Orang bkinnya aja sama2 mau kog..Bkinnya aj sama2 enak..kcuali klo nti terjadi hal2 yg tidak diinginkan gt.Tp biasanya 22nya sama2 enak kog dan mau. Jd ga ada korban dsini..ok?

- Menteri kehutanan = Kementrian semak belukar..
Gelo apa..Mangnya dihutan isinya semak belukar doank ap?

- Tiarap = Bersetubuh dengan bumi..
Wadaw..ogah si gw suru bersetubuh dengan bumi..sakit kali..haha..

Nah tu contoh2nya kenapa gw rada2 pngen bilang tuh bahwa banggalah jd orang Indonesia karena bahasanya tuh lbih bagus..Betull???
Nah trus itu.. Orang Indo tuh kreatip. Kt bs bkin kata2 yg entah dr jagat mana muncul nya dan entah sejak perang ap munculnya..trus tiba2 aje kata2 itu digunakan dan bisa dimengerti oleh rakyat Indonesia dr Sabang sampe Merauke..Mantap..
Contoh aje yah.. Klo gw pnjem ama tmen gw. "Eh ada cekrekan gak?"
Nah loh..apa pula tuh cekrekan dan dr mn munculnya, tapi smua tau kog.Dan mreka psti ngambilin gw barang yg benar. Ap mngkn karena klo kita menggunakannya bunyinya cekrek jd namanya itu?? ahh ga perduli..yg pnting hebat..Haha..
Nah lg nih..akir2 ini kan dugem tuh lg ngetrend di kalangan anak2 muda yg ckup gondel itu.
Trus tuh kadang gw diajakin gt. Mreka blng, "Eh dugem yuk.." Gw blng aja, "Yuk mari..kita cegat bajaj sekarang nih?" Nah loh sjuta tanda tnya di kepala mreka ampe kpala mereka aj kaya tnda tnya udah.. Mreka bingung dan gw jawab,"Iye dugem kan..duduk gemetar" Haha..
Gila singkatan dr mn lg tuh. Mpu Gondrong dari Majamanis aja ampe nerbitin Kitab SukaSuka dan Kartono yg pejuang emansisapi (emansipasi ato emansisapi?) pria itu ampe nerbitin Habis Gelap Enak deh!! untuk membahas tentang ini. Tapi tetap aja ga ad yg bisa jelasin dengan baik...

Jadi, gw jg ga pnya wewenang untuk jelasin... Yg pnting pesen gw itu...
Banggalah jadi orang Indonesia karena kita unik..Haha..

Salam..KACRUT!!

Cinta itu...

2008-04-24T18:24:00.000+08:00

Cinta tak pernah akan begitu indah,

jika tanpa persahabatan.....yang satu selalu menjadi penyebab yang lain

dan prosesnya.....adalah irreversible......

Seorang pecinta yang terbaik adalah sahabat yang terhebat.

Jika engkau mencintai seseorang,

jangan berharap bahwa seseorang itu akan mencintaimu

persis sebaliknya dalam kapasitas yang sama.

Satu diantara kalian akan memberikan lebih,

Dan yang lain akan dirasa kurang...........

Begitu juga dalam cinta: yg 1 akan yang mencari,

dan yang lain akan menanti......

Jangan pernah takut untuk jatuh cinta.... mungkin akan

begitu menyakitkan,

dan mungkin akan menyebabkan engkau sakit dan menderita.....

tapi jika engkau tidak mengikuti kata hati,

pada akhirnya engkau akan

menangis.......jauh lebih pedih...

karena saat itu engkau menyadari bahwa

engkau tidak pernah memberi....

cinta itu sebuah jalan.

Cinta bukan sekedar perasaan, tapi sebuah

komitmen....

Karena perasaan bisa datang dan pergi begitu saja......

Cinta tak harus berakhir bahagia.....karena

cinta tidak harus berakhir.....

Cinta sejati mendengar apa yang tidak dikatakan....

dan mengerti apa yang tidak dijelaskan,

sebab cinta tidak datang dari bibir, lidah atau pikiran.........

melainkan dari HATI.

Ketika engkau mencintai, jangan mengharapkan apapun

sebagai imbalan,

karena jika engkau demikian, engkau bukan mencintai,

melainkan..... investasi.

Jika engkau mencintai, engkau harus siap untuk menerima penderitaan.

Karena jika engkau mengharap kebahagiaan,
engkau bukan mencintai,

melainkan.... memanfaatkan.

Lebih baik kehilangan harga diri dan egomu bersama

seseorang yang engkau cintai

daripada kehilangan seseorang yang engkau cintai,

karena egomu yang tak berguna itu........

Jangan mencintai seseorang seperti bunga,karena bunga mati
kala musim berganti,

cintailah mereka seperti sungai, sebab sungai

mengalir selamanya........

Cinta mungkin akan meninggalkan hatimu bagaikan kepingan2 kaca,

tapi tancapkan dalam pikiranmu,

bahwa Ada seseorang yang akan bersedia untuk

menambal lukamu dengan

mengumpulkan kembali pecahan2 kaca itu.....

Sehingga engkau akan menjadi utuh kembali......

DNA Electrophoresis Experiment

2008-04-11T12:04:00.000+08:00

This Wednesday, I did one of the coolest experiment I've ever had in Biology class. Hehe... And that day we played with DNA. Hehe...

DNA electrophoresis is one of many ways how we analyze DNA and comparing between 1 DNA and another. It is usually used in forensic team to analyze the suspect and the victim whether they had relation within each other or not. Usually, they take the blood, hair, clothes, or even sperm (in rape case). The concept is, we put DNA in agarose gel and then apply electric current on it. After that we can see the DNA is moving from negative charge above to positive charge in bottom..

This is some the pictures of it:

All the equipment for DNA electrophoresis...

This is the place where we put the agarose gel and the agarose gel itself in the tube...

Just like CSI... Haha... (Me with micrometer level pipette...)

Fight Stronger (Dedicated to Yueh Hwei)

2008-04-10T22:05:00.000+08:00

This post is dedicated to my lil sister here... Lim Yueh Hwei...

Hey sis...
This is life... Life is hard nor easy to do...
Sometimes people said that life is easy with eyes close... But when our eyes are closed, how can we move on?
Things are going harder and harder as time went by...
We are lucky enough, those assignments are just so many... Not too many...
I'm sure out there in we don't know where... There are a lot of people more tired than us. They have a lot of problems more than us...
You still have your family here...You still have your friends here... When you do not know outside there, got people live alone without friends and even without family...

Don't look into others' life...
We have our own life. We should be happy with what we got from God because God always gives the best to us...
This is life sis... Live your life...
Face the reality and fight them... Don't wanna be a looser because sometimes life is so cruel that laughing when we are a looser...
Fight stronger... And you can get what you want...
Remember... Just live your life to the fullest...
We are special in this world... We are Unique...

We are We...

It was a tough afternoon...

2008-04-07T16:32:00.000+08:00

Short post will do also la...hehe..
Wah... It was... It was...
It was a tough afternoon... Having a conversation with my friend. I asked a lot and i got a lot of new things in my life about relationship with Him. However, it also made me thinking whether I really can do it or not. Since I said I wanna be "more" in God's eyes, but the question is "What can i do to realize that?".

I've tried but i dunno how good it is. I should not be thinking and thinking and thinking but i have to realize it in the real world. But if i ask back to myself, for sure i will answer...

"100% of my life i will give to Him... All the things that have been done and will be done is from and for Him. There is no little doubt on it. But i have to realize it... I have and I will..." -Farid-

Sorry...Hehe...

2008-04-05T10:42:00.000+08:00

Ok...Ok la everyone...
Sorry for waiting to such a long time to see my new post. I've been very busy recently with my study. Actually a lot of things i wanna share with you all, but from now on i will share bit by bit. Ok?

I finished the busy week after the mid-semester break happily with accompanying one of the girl which is now to be my good friend from VU. Hehe... I helped her doin her accounting test in Sunway...

However, before this Friday was ended, i have to do 2 in 1 lab report. Hehe.. It means i did the same lab report twice because of the lecturer did something stupid about the information of making it. Ahh... it was very torturing... Haha...

And last nite my fren and I celebrated Jimmy's birthday. It was a quite funny story because Jimmy thought that everyone had forgotten his birthday. Actually it was done intentionally to make a surprise party for him. However, happpy birthday Jimmy...Hehe...

And now, i have to go back to my lecture notes. C u in next post which won't take so long time.. However, Farid is happy.. hehe...

"Life is only about making choices. Whether you took the right or wrong choices, it does not really matter. The most important thing is how you improve yourself from that choice and realize that you have to keep going on your life. Learn from your experiences." -FaridTheGreat-

Tipe dan macam jenis jomblo...

Wah lumayan nih buat ketawa ketiwi...Hehe...
Kamu termasuk yg mana hayo??

Jomblo Sejati –
Jomblo yang satu ini murni belum pernah pacaran, belum mengerti tentang cinta, fokus pikirannya hanya belajar dan belum pernah naksir siapa siapa. Ciri-cirinya : Kacamata tebal, penampilan tidak terjaga, fashion berantakan dan sering keliatan korek upil didepan umum.

Ciri-cirinya : Gampang sirik, sering kesel, bad mood, emosional dan membenci film film berbau romantis. So bagi yang lagi mesra mesra nya mohon hindari jomblo yang satu ini apalagi yang sabet mantan pacarnya. VERY DANGEROUS !

Dalam doanya : Jadikanlah aku cinderela dan Jang Dong Gun Pangerannya.

Yow..Farid is back...

Long time no see readers...

Today, we really had a great day. It was a day. Hahaha...
Jimmy, Hartanto, and me wanted to go to Pavilion with Vania. But then, she could not join us in that trip. However, the trip was not only finish in Pavilion. We also needed to go to Berjaya Times Square to see Jimmy's mother who came today from Genting. Haha..

The process in reaching the Berjaya Times Square was very funny. First, we asked the place named conscierge in Pavilion then the man explained to us. After, we went out from Pavilion we still did not know where to go. Haha... Then we saw a traffic police man then we asked him how to go to Berjaya. He looked like so scary with his seriuos face but then he pointed to the sky, which we could see Berjaya building there. We laughed together, then he smiled at us and explain how to get there.

Then we walked to Berjaya, but before that we had to pass through Sungei Wang and Low Yat Plaza. Hahaha... Then after met with Jimmy's Mom, then she asked us to bring her to Sungei Wang. We went there together by walk and we went through Low Yat Plaza again. Haha... Inside Sungei Wang, Har and me went around waiting Jimmy and his mom shopping...
After that, we went back to Berjaya Times Square again and passed through Sungei Wang. Hahaha... What a day... It was COOL!!! I liked it...

We went home and still went to Pyramid to take my laptop which had been repaired before...
That's all... C u next time...

Merry Christmas everyone...^^

2007-12-26T14:22:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas everyone... Eventhough this Christmas I celebrated only with my family but it was all ok for me. The most important thing of Christmas is the value of Christmas itself. And this Christmas made me realising that God always gives us the best.
This year's Christmas, my feeling were going through a lot of feelings this Christmas. However, it was ok and I had a lot of fun celebrating Christmas among my family member...

Forgiving is one of the important things in Christmas. Before Christmas, come together to ask forgiveness from everyone that the relationship with us are not really good.
Then, Christmas is not about the Christmas tree, Christmas carols, Christmas presents or everything that gives the warm of the Christmas it self. However, the important things is the changes on ourself not only inside the church but on everyday on the society. The way how we talk to others, the way how we give love to people around us such as family and friends, and many more things.
Remember that the saviour was born today and He will always be with us because Immanuel itself has a meaning of God always be with us. So, God will not leave us. He will be with us in sad or happy time.

Malaysia - Jakarta - Bandung - Jakarta - Bandung - Jogjakarta - Jakarta...

2007-12-21T14:18:00.000+08:00

Finaly, I came back from my journey. It was simple but fun and enjoyable. That was how i spent my holiday through 1 and half months. It was a long time, but i still have about 1 and half months long for my holiday. What a long long holiday...

It started when i came back from Malaysia with 3 of my friends which were Telly, Chandra, and Hartanto. Then, Chandra and Hartanto went back to my house and stayed there for 1 week althought we went to Bandung also for 2 days. They all went back to Pekanbaru after had stayed a week in my house...

1 week after they went back to Pekanbaru, 2 of my friends from Medan came also. They were Randy and Among. We also went to Bandung and bought a lot of shirts from there. We also went to Jogjakarta which gave us a lot of experiences of the real Indonesian. How we could see Borobudur Temple which used to be one of the seven wonders. However, it was wonderful...

I wont write too long for this post. You all will be bored reading these craps. You juzst need to know how my holiday is going.
To sum up all the things that i have written above or can i just say that the things that i can get from my long journey are:
1. Journey is not about journey only. What important things that we can get except the holiday itself. You would not know if you did not feel the journey itself by your heart. It is looked like a simple thing but actually it is hard task to do... Feel your holiday, don't just you do it but you will never know what things behind this holiday are...
2. God is very impressive. You will see all those things from The Mighty God when you see around. Feel it and you will know how Great God is...
3. Friends are the best thing you have ever instead of money. Things that maybe to theoretically bu if you all have experienced it then later you will feel how priceless friends are...

Enough for summing up my holiday into these short of paragraph. Hope you can get what i mean and if you wanna know the full story about my holiday then just ask me straighly when we meet later...

God Bless You All...

Everyone is leaving...

2007-11-12T01:13:00.000+08:00

Well.. It will be a short post. Just for telling you that my holiday is coming. Feel happy absolutely and wanna take a rest from the things called study...

But then, tonight i felt that i miss someone. I miss the one who spent a lot of times with me in school. She has gone back to her hometown now. However, it will be fine. We still can meet each other later in school after holiday finished. But, if i realized that the holiday will be 3 months and a half, will it be fine anymore?? Huhu..

And my Jie Tina left Malaysia also on 8th of November and i cant meet her until Februari...

Enjoy your holiday and take care... I will miss you all so much...

15 tips agar tidak bete saat di dalam lift

2007-11-02T22:40:00.000+08:00

15 tips agar tidak bete saat di dalam lift:

1. Ketika anda hanya berdua dengan orang tak dikenal, colek bahunya! Kemudian anda pura-pura melihat ke tempat lain..

2. Tekan tombol lift kemudian anda pura-pura kesetrum. Tersenyumlah, lalu..... ulangi lagi.

3. Pasanglah muka menyeringai kesakitan sambil memegangi kepala anda dan mengumpat: “Diam, semuanya diam!”

4. Gunakan HP anda untuk telpon ke Psikolog sambil bertanya apakah dia
tahu di lantai berapa anda sekarang ?

5. Bawalah kamera dan ambillah gambar semua orang yang ada di dalam lift.

6. Pindahkan meja kerja anda ke dalam lift. Jika ada yang masuk, tanyakan apakah mereka sudah membuat janji.

7. Bentangkan papan catur di lantai lift dan ajaklah orang-orang, barangkali ada yang mau main.

8. Letakkan sebuah bungkusan di pojok, jika ada yang masuk, tanyakan apakah mereka mendengar suara tik...tik.. . tik...

9. Anda pura-pura jadi pramugari. Tunjuk kan prosedur keselamatan pener bangan seperti di dalam pesawat terbang.

10. Ketika pintu menutup, beri pengumuman kepada orang-orang. Tenang, jangan panik, nanti pasti terbuka lagi koq.

Tips for you all to prepare and do the final exam

2007-10-24T20:26:00.000+08:00

1. The first thing you have to know is... Final exam is the last thing you can do... So, do your best!!

2. Umm... Do yourself better than do together... Haha.. 2 is not good, 3 is bad, more than 3 is worst...

3. Don't sleep too late at night. But sleep early in the morning. Haha... Jk la... Make sure you sleep at night before the exam...

4. Try to eat more than usual. Maybe 5 or 6 meals per day are suggested...

5. Do not fall asleep in the exam hall. It brings you a lot of trouble later...

6. Do not try to shout in the exam hall. Eventhough shouting in the exam hall makes you famous...

7. Ok, according the time of your exam. If you have exam in the morning, make sure you have your breakfast before it. And if you have your exam in the afternoon, make sure you have your lunch before it.

8. Make sure you do not bring your food inside the exam hall or else it will disturb other people because maybe other people also want your food or your lecturer maybe want your food also.

9. Wear shoes into the exam hall. You are not going to the beach, aren't you??

10. This thing is also important. You have to take a bath before you are going into exam hall or else other people will be disturbed. Think about it yourself.Haha...

11. You can't find your answer in the Yahoo or Google search engine or even Wikipedia. Try to find it in your brain. Haha...

12. Lastly, pray you before you do your exam. Believe that God will help you...

Cheers and Good luck for your exam...

2007-10-15T00:33:00.000+08:00

I like this song very much because it has a nice and deep meaning...

Fix You by Cold Play...

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you..

People are changing...

2007-10-11T17:30:00.000+08:00

Yeah..Maybe this is just a short post commenting on people are changing recently... I don't know whether it is true or not but i feel that... They just don't care about who i am. Maybe they have new friends but who knows. I also don't want to blame them as they left me only like that. But even say "Hello.." to me and wave their hand goodbye also don't want...
Anyway, those are all okay for me. As long as later, they realize what they did, maybe they all will come back to them who they used to be.... And hopefully it will happen and they all know which are can be said as true friends and which are can't.. But still inside this heart, sadness is walking around...

Happy day...

2007-09-28T20:05:00.000+08:00

Wah..Today is a happy day for me... I dunno exactly why but i felt like that the whole day...Lolzz...

Started from getting a very very nice dream last nite. Then, i started this day with full of spirit doing my bio web-test. However, when i was doing it with my friend, it was so funny because we don't understand about it. So, we didn't get a good mark but we still got the fun anyway. Haha..

Then after that,i went out to have my lunch with my 2 friends. It was also make me very happy because both of them are my some of my best friends even though they are new friends for me. But, still they are very nice and very friendly. One of them is from Monash which is the same faculty as me (Science) and another one is from VU taking business.

Finished eating then i went home to take a rest for a while. Then, 5 o'clock my friend asked me to play football. And for sure i didn't refuse it coz i love to play football. We played football until 7.30 and i made 3 goals. Lolzz...

However, my dinner was not so nice because i felt unwell. I didn't finish my dinner, but still felt that i was very full until i wrote this blog.Lolz..

Anyway, enough for today. I wanna sleep now.. And lastly wanna say thank God u have given me such a very nice and happy day. It is all because your power and glory... Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam...

Aku mau jadi lebih berarti di mata Tuhan...

2007-08-10T21:13:00.000+08:00

Jangan bingung ato apa... Emang kliatannya sulit kan apa yg gw katakan... Tp entah kenapa tiba2 pas gw di dlm lift condo sehabis gw makan barusan, gw terpikir untuk melakukan hal itu...

Tiba2 pngen aja dket rasanya sama Tuhan... Dulu gw emang jd misdinar(pelayan di gereja gt) dan gw sneng bisa melayani Tuhan. Skarang itu uda ga ada, tapi gw tetep pngen bisa mlayani Tuhan Yesus. Tp yah, gw harus berusaha sih untuk itu, secara hidup ini kan emang sulit. Jd yah mencapai apa yg ada di pikiran gw skarang pun psti sulit...

Yah, mungkin sgitu aja sh yg bisa gw share ke lu dlu. Sapa tau nti gw lanjut dngan perkembangan gw terhadap keinginan gw ini...

Makasih smua...See you soon...

Hidup ini tuh membingungkan...

2007-07-29T14:22:00.000+08:00

Yah... secara blog gw dibaca sama orang2 indo aja... Ya uda gw post aja pake bahasa indo. Iya ga? Stuju smua?

Hmm...Semalem gw ga bisa tidur mkirin hidup.(Wah gila berat gt yang dipikirin...) Nah, hasil dari pemikiran itu timbul pertanyaan. Kenapa hidup ini tuh harus berjalan? Pngennya tuh hidup stagnan aja di satu waktu dimana waktu itu bner2 kita nikmatin. Bner ga? Any comment anyone? Hahaha...

Kalo hidup bisa stagnan aja di satu waktu dimana kita senang, gw rasa gw ga bakal harus berpikir tentang hidup ini dan waktu. Tapi ternyata...Faktanya hidup itu berubah dan ga bs diem di satu tempat ato satu situasi aja dan disitulah sekarang gw merasa bahwa hidup gw ini sedang berubah...Bukan karena gw pindah dan masuk uni ato apa, tp gw merasa gw kehilangan teman-teman terbaik gw di Malaysia ini... Eventhough, mereka semua masih ada di deket gw, tapi gw merasa gw kehilangan mereka semua. Gw pengen gw bisa sama-sama mereka terus and seneng-seneng. Tapi ternyata harapan gw itu bener-bener ga bisa tercapai... Apalagi orang yang paling berarti buat gw di sini, gw rasa dia juga uda mulai meninggalkan gw...

Hmm...Gw sekarang hanya bisa berharap gw bisa mengembalikan semua ini kaya dulu lagi ato situasi bisa kembali kaya dulu lagi... Gw kangen sama masa-masa itu semua dimana gw bisa ketawa-ketawa bareng sama temen-temen terbaik gw disini yang notabene gw anggap sebagai keluarga gw sndiri... Yah gw harap sih gitu yah...

Sori yah kalo gw ngmong gini ke lu smua... Sori bgt ya Chandra, Hartanto, Yueh Hwei, Randy, Jiejie Tina, and Jimmy... Dan semuanya deh... Sori bgt yah gw ngmong gini... But, i still love you all pals...

N.B: Tina and Yueh Hwei if u dun understand, ask some one to translate for you...

My First Day In University...

2007-07-16T19:07:00.000+08:00

Hoihoi... Finally, FaridTheGreat has come back to his blog. Hoho...
Today, i started my new life as university student. Quiet interesting that i walked to there at 10.00 with my jiejie and Jimmy although my first class started at 12.00. Hehe..

I came there to submit my insurance application. Then, i'm trying to take Monash shirt but they said havent opened until 12.30.. Then, i went take photo for international student card but actually i do not need to take photo cause i'm a new student and still don't have Monash visa...

Then, i went to library waiting for my class at 12.00. Then, i went to my first class which is Introductory to Statistical Reasoning. The lecturer was just fine and the subject was okay... But the interesting thing was before i got in to the class i got a new friend. Her name is Judith, she is very nice people. Hehe...

Anyway, after dat class then i got break 1 hour. I took my Monash shirt and i chose the navy blue one with L size. Hehe.. Then i went to cafeteria and you know what, all the food is finished. I hate these things la. Stupid cafeteria and very expensive some more...

Then, i went into my last 2 classes which is Biology and E-bussines... The last class was so sleepy and exhausted. Somemore the lecturer was late about 40 minutes. How C bal was dat...
Ok then, enough for the first day... C u later then...

Friends...I'm going home...

2007-06-06T00:15:00.000+08:00

Dear all of my friends and reader,

Today is Tuesday, June 5th 2007 i'm going back to my hometown Indonesia with AirAsia flight no. Ak 953 at 13.15. I'll arrive Indonesia at approximately 14.15 and for sure i will tell u all if i reach Indonesia. Ok?

I just wanna say thank you to all of my friends which gave me a lot of wonderful experiences in playing, studying, eating, etc etc... It is a good fortune knowing you all here because i really feel that we are no one big family...

For the last one, i would like to say good bye to my friend Randy. He will go to Austalia for his future education and he will take biotechnology. This is my short message for him:

"Ran, the time has come. It's a very very good fortune knowing you as my friend or even as my brother. We often do the same things together in biology, chemistry, and calculus class even we are not in the same class. Take care yea in Australia, keep up the good work, reach your dream, and be a successful man. Don't ever forget our relationship here, our trip together to Penang, our basketball team: "What La Team" (the greatest team ever in Sunway), and many things that we did together... I'm very very sure that later in the future, we can meet each other again and can play together again.Good bye my friend..."

This is some of our memory together:

Fighting...Hahaha...

Wow..What r u doin??

Prom Nite 2007

Wow...Very cool yea...

Anyway, just wait la. Haha...

Fiuhhh...So happy and also so sad today. Happy because i just finished another step of my education then i can go to higher education. Happy also because i can reach above 80% and maybe it is very special gift that i can give to both of my parents. Happy also because some of friends can go to Monash University which means we can meet again. Ok? (Congratz to jiejie. Hihi~~). Then happy because in June 5th, 2007 i will have a chance to meet all my family...

However, on the other side, i also feel very sad because maybe i can't meet some of my good friends in CIMP such as David (Chok Ta Wai), Diliph, Echian, Vania (Which take another semester of CIMP), Ali, Cho Sang Hyeon (and other Korean friends) and many more...I will certainly miss you guys. But the show must go on... We have to keep walking and walking to the future... And all good memories on CIMP will not be forgotten from my mind such as ISU, assignments, Korean Club, Theme Days, Lecturers (Thanks to all lecturers especially to Mr. T. Ley who taught me ENG4C, Puan Rohani who taught me MDM4U, Mr. C, Quarrie who taught me Biology and Chemistry, Mr. M.A. Avilla who taught me Calculus, Ms. Sumathy who taught me International Business, and Ms. Lisa Song who taught me Management Fundamentals), and many more...

To all my friends in CIMP, thank you that you all have given me such a special memory to me which i can't forget all my life. CIMP rocks... This is some of good pics from Graduation Day June 1st, 2007...

Ms. Lisa Song and me...

A Very Nice Story...

2007-04-25T23:38:00.000+08:00

Yeah... I wanna write a story about Jesus and a man... This man had died and now he met Jesus... Jesus asked him to go to a cinema which located at some parts of heaven to watch film...

Then the film was started with beach on the background... Firstly, the beach was empty. Nothing was there...Then the man asked Jesus like this, "Father, what film is it about? Why can i only see a beach?"

Jesus said to him," Just wait. This is a film about your life and later you will see how you face your life..."
The man nod his head and it meant that he understood. Then, he started look at some steps on the sand. There were 4 steps on the sand. He was thinking what it was. Then he asked again to Jesus, "Father, what does that steps on the sand mean? I don't understand..."

Jesus answered, "That is our steps my son."
The man still wondering and asked again, "Then, why were there 4 steps and 2 steps on the sand?"
Jesus explained to him, " Yes, that is the phases of your life. When you were happy there were 4 steps there and when you were down, there were 2 steps there..."
The man replied to Jesus, "Oh i understand...It means you foot and my foot...But when i was down you were not with me?"

Jesus answered, "You are wrong my son. When you were down, I was always with you. But the difference was i carried you on my back. So, it was only 2 steps left which was my steps. I will not leave you son. When you were happy, I was always with you. And when you were down, I was also with you by carrying you on my back..."
