Hai epribodi

I wish we all a very happy and prosperous new year…

I must admit, this year might be the hardest year for me… lonely ramadhan, lonely nights (hayyaah), and those mindful things from work and personal life… By November it got soo intense that I thought it couldn’t be heavier… just keep praying…

And now, last work day in 2005, some of the hardest thing I faced come stumbling down.. one by one, giving me some of the most exciting feelings each time :p I can say that I got over the hill. Alhamdulillah… Still so many battle to go, but surely I ain’t losing this war. Hopefully by monday I’ll get my battery fully recharged and get a mind tune up. Let 2006 come, and let’s make history, great ones!

Aslm wrwb…

This is quite embarassing really… one of my personal objective for Q4’05 is 2 new technical cert, and since I was too busy (read: too lazy, unorganized, no plan whatsoever), I just have time for the two in December, while some other jobs have also been waiting to be done… and to make it more frustrating, also the stress about KPR, and no one to ‘talk’ to :p I really felt that this year is so heavy for me, but still keeping faith that when it’s over, joy will come around

And today, I felt so much joy, that some of my burden have passed by… the hassle with the passport, finally got the chance to go abroad, and the GREATEST gift this year, now I am a permanent staff in SMI, finally passed the hardest obstacle in the mortgage thing, and after failing in the first try, just now I passed the SCJP 1.5 exam… really grateful, since I have really little time to prepare… whole week I have to shadow the SG consultant in the portal issues, and Hengky constantly chasing me for the seebeyond demo… aah, thanks God it’s Friday… gonna forget them all for the weekend, and get back to battlefield next monday

Alhamdulillah…
Waslm wrwb.

Bbrp hari ini gua harus bangun pagi dan stay up, karena harus ngejar belajar materi SCJP, tp entah kenapa monster kasur selalu menghajarku dengan telak :p Jadinya, gua nyalain weker di jam meja, dan weker ginian nyalanya nonstop dan gak bisa snooze kayak alarm hp lho :p Dan emang sih gua kebangun pas wekernya nyala. Tapi jadinya malah tambah ngaco….. dulu sering gua ngerasa dah bangun dan matiin weker padahal cuma dalam mimpi doang dan si weker tetep nyala. Tapi kemarin pagi, gua bener-bener berasa nyata bahwa si weker itu rusak dan gak bisa dimatiin, sehingga nyalaaaaa trus gak berenti selama bbrp jam sampe pagi. Gua sampe bingung banget, ngetok-ngetok tuh jam tetep gak bisa berenti. Berbagai cara dicoba, sampe muter-muter… n you know what,... in the end gua kebangun beneran, dan terheran-heran bahwa gua bisa mimpi matiin weker selama 1.5 jam… fuih…

Hari terakhir training nih, dan pertama kalinya selama di sini, hujaaan. Anton sempet nyuruh gua bawa payung karena skrg lagi musim hujan, tapi dia ngomongnya pas gua mo berangkat, jd gak sempet balik ke kos ngambil payung ato mbeli di jalan. Karena hujannya cukup deras, gua cuma bisa bengong di pinggir jalan Setelah agak reda (enggak juga sih, cuma gua dah telat banget :p), nekat nyebrang jalan ke 7/11, dan ternyata memang ada jual payung di situ, lumayanlah $4.30…

Kebetulan gua lagi make sepatu gua (the only shoes I got) yang agak licin, dan seperti yg gua khawatirkan, gua kepeleset di jalan :p Maklum trotoarnya bagus euy, pake batu alam :p Alhamdulillah baju dan celana tidak sempat bercumbu dengan lantainya Posisi gua jatoh bener-bener mirip posisi Madonna di cover album terbarunya loh hehehe.

Sampai hari ini, ternyata SG nggak sempurna juga kok, ada juga atap bocor, hotelnya juga gak beda ama JKT, banyak juga yang nyebrang pas lagi rambu nyebrang merah :p Dan, emang rasanya lebih mahal, jadi gua gak akan ngikutin jejak seorang teman, yg di training pertamanya di SG malah nyari kerja )

One other interesting thing was, when I was in HMV store, looking for Dream Theater’s CDs, there’s this girl browsing thru the DT’s albums. Man, this is something cool, I thought And out of nowhere I said things, and we ended up chatting eagerly, about DT of course. That was really not like me, a shy guy I didn’t really catch her name though, it was chinnesse’s name and I am really bad in remembering chinnesse’s name But, unfortunately she was with her boyfriend, who might be thinking of nasty things to do to me :p It was fun though, having a chat with the local girl hehehe.

... trip oversea
akhirnya kesampaian juga mimpi pgn liat bagian dunia yg lain, walaupun deket banget, yg penting pake paspor dan gratis :p Yg bikin lega sih, krn persiapannya ribet bgt, tp akhirnya sampe jg, walaupun terpaksa deposit S$150 utk hotel gara2 gak punya CC. fuih. Untung msh cukup buat makan.

My first impression was, is this country real, cause it looks so much like in the movies It was very clean, the road is in very good condition, with so many big trees in the middle.

The funny thing is, everytime I see Indonesian faces, I was always interested to hear what they were talking about, and sometimes I realize they we’re Malaysians. And the rest is talking about shopping :p Yes, Orchard Rd was said to be a shoppers’ paradise.

But, the shops really doesn’t interest me, well maybe because I don’t have a lot of money :p But, I am more interested in seeing the people, the habit, the culture… But, in the second day, akhirnya ketemu juga yg nyeleneh, yg nyebrang sembarangan, gelandangan, sampah sembarangan, but cuma dikiit, dan sebagian dilakukan oleh foreigners hehehe. Tapi kalo BB alias bau badan, sepertinya gak pandang bulu tuh, yg berbulu dan tidak tetep selalu ada :p Tapi tetep, banyak hal unik yg menurut gua keren, seperti penjual es krim dengan roti di sepanjang taman di Orchard Rd, shoppers going crazy until their legs scream, trishaw, etc. I actually found Es Teler 77 and Ayam Penyet shops, but I didn’t try those, what’s the point of coming here if only to eat Indonesian Foods hehehe. So far, gua cuma makan Burger King, McD, dan es krim roti :p Sarapan di hotel, dan hari ini hampiiiir aja makan omelet with B2 hehe, gak tau dan gak nanya sih. Taunya waktu ada orang Arab yg mesen itu tp dibilang sama yg jaga bahwa itu gak halal :p Trus kata kokinya, sorry I didn’t notice you’re muslim hmmm, mungkin jgn cukur jenggot kemaren :p

Not much money, but I’ll take as many photos as I can :p Now, the instructor is already coming, need to stop this, gonna continue later I guess…

rasanya tahun ini udah capek banget, banyak beban fikiran, tp kok makin deket desember makin kacau.. sebenernya bukan kacau juga sih, tp yaa pusiing. Soal KK, udah jadi sih, udah submit ke imigrasi, tp masih blm dipanggil utk foto. Padahal tinggal bbrp hari lagi nih, kartu kredit gak ada kabar sama sekali ujian SCJP besok, tp blm belajar, gara2 nginep di cipinang urusan keluarga, dilanjutkan dgn training di klien 3 hari penuh… duuh. Blm urusan duit dan KPR yg masih gak ada kejelasan sama sekali ( tp jelas paling bikin gemetaran, passport yg blom jadi, padahal semua dah booked untuk senin ((

Gua curhat di sini, jelas, karena gak punya cewek :p Kata bang Socrates, satu kata/hal yg bisa meredakan derita dunia adalah cinta. Tapi gua mikir, gimana kalo cinta yg bikin menderita? Gua cuma bisa ketawa gila, ketika ada sms yg berisi… ‘jgn sms/nelp dia, pacarnya lagi marah’ buset, sejak kapan gua jadi pengganggu rumah tangga orang… hmm, God, give me kindness, give me beauty, give me truth…
