  • Mistakes


    Were having a conversation with a mate, we’re talking about something else, but suddenly he talked about his socks. So funny, that i decided to paste the conversation here 😀
    I found it very hilarious.

    See, we tend to correct a mistake we’ve made. That’s one of human’s beauty, i think, the ability to do correction.
    Many mistakes i made in my life (and of course, you too), so far. Some are correctable, and some of them are not. Some takes time, some takes life.

    Depends on the scale, in some part, you’ll think that you are so screwed (you’re blaming everybody, hating yourself), especially when the mistakes keep coming and you have no idea how to stop them (or even to slow them down).

    But don’t worry, at the end, you won’t even mind how many damn mistakes you can’t fix, because you’re worrying about whether they’re still coming after you’re gone.

  • Chocolate

    Am big fans of chocolate. I just ate my wheat bread with chocolate spread. I think it has started like forever that i like chocolate. Every brand is okay to me, i’ve tried many different brand, local to import, white to dark, and as long as it is chocolate, it’s gooood.

    I challenged my self, and i THINK that i can even eat spaghetti bolognese with chocolate, chocolate tom yam, 😀 also, chicken curry with chocolate paste, sushi topped with chocolate sauce, and also probably sardines with chocolate. 😀 i think i can eat every chocolate thing.

    Remembered one big humiliation regarding chocolate, happened in 2003, i was working in a japanese company, where i did some analysis and reported to management. My analysis’ involving color, and in one occasion i found that the color combination of this particular packaging is “coklat”, and also some other colors.

    SO, i wrote down my analysis: colors: chocolate, red, yellow, green. I signed and about to submit to my boss, until a collegue came to me. (He’s a high school graduate with tons of experience in doing what i’m doing that time). He asked me, are you sure with this?

    And, i replied confidently, of course, i know what i’m doing and i’m sure about the color the competitor used. And i also re-checked my chemical analysis.

    He said : i thought it’s brown, instead of chocolate, for “coklat”.

    And, blurrrrrrppp… blurrrppp… i could not believe i forgot that in english “coklat” is BROWN!

  • World Energy

    “We’re not only part of the solution but also part of the problem,” he confesses. What he means is that computers are egregious energy hogs. Data centers alone, Sun calculates, account for 2-3 percent of total world energy use, with all IT making up more like 4-5 percent. At big companies, 20 percent of total energy costs can typically be accounted for by information technology.”

    Wow! Can you imagine that? Our laptops contribute to that 4-5 percent of world energy use! Hmmm… we can help the world by stop using laptop! 😀 Dont play too much games, dont listen to mp3s from laptop, dont read too many online papers. Hehe.

  • Roma

    “This was the saddest night of my career, I never suffered seven goals in the Champions League,” Totti said, almost in tears.

    Damn! I did not believe this. My team was thrashed with such a sad score 1-7 from Manchester United. We successfully defeated them 2-1 on the first leg, but this trip to Old Trafford was such a humiliation. 🙁

    I follow them since 1998. Almost 10 years. Francesco il Capitano Totti is my all time fav player. A captain, a leader, a Roman, and for me, he is the King of Roma.

    We don’t have the strongest squad this year, Roma still facing several financial problems, but with existing players, like Totti, Perotta, De Rossi, Mancini, Taddei, Chivu, Mexes, and veteran Panucci, Roma turns into a strong candidate for second position! I admire that! And mostly because of Totti’s 18 Goals so far, and Allenatore Luciano Spalleti.

    Season’s almost over, Roma will stay at 2nd or 3rd, next season will be BIG. I hope Roma wins next season!

    Forza Roma!!
