  • Well Well Weil

    Am not a big enthusiast of watches. I remember I have only purchased 2 watches in my whole life. First one was a simple Casio, a 2003 purchase, my first salary, i can recalled. It was very cheap, not more than 200K IDR. After I moved to my current company, I than purchased another one, another simple Esprit, back in 2003 or 4. Four to five years ago. 

    That’s it.
    Am looking for a watch now. I like Bonia Tesoro, but “…damn it…”, not a work-out guy, my wrists are 🙁 smaller than the diameter of the watch! Damn.
    Last week, I finally found the love of my wrist. So relieving, like “Here you go, I’ve been looking for you my whole life!”. 
    So, I asked the store-girl, and then I went out of the store empty handed. Stupid price. Why is everything numbered in money? Way too expensive for my budget.
    Told my wrist to forget it. Raymond Weil it is, my friend.
    This brand is not within the 1st tier of fine watch, I can’t even imagine Blancpain or Girard-Perregaux.
    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

  • Pro-Wedding-Guests


    After you have been to many weddings, you will learn and notice a common pattern. There’re always some ‘professional guests’ in every wedding. This type of guest will be able to enjoy all the nice food at every corner of the reception halls, name it: kambing guling, shrimp-roll with mayo, anything, WHILE those regular guest will only have “regular” food, like the always-presence Kakap Asam Manis (dunno why they always serve sweet-sour fish fillet), fried rice, cap-cay and shrimp crackers. It is so not fair for regular guests! I am against those pro-guest.

    I noticed they formed a certain formation, they have sort of distribution of tasks among team members, and an early observation of site-lay-out is one key they have never skipped. 
    Gosh! They’re goooowd! Such a grand strategy! 
    All this will not work unless you have also good execution timing. Even better, they dont employ technology; a simple communication early before the execution (err… during the groom and bride enter the room, a long-long red carpet), and a last minute coordination during the wedding toast is one of the success factors.
    Just like the business, know the vision, set the strategy, communicate, enjoy success, CELEBRATE five full plates of nice food, and back home enjoy a sound sleep with full stomach and a roaring cholesterol level.

  • S**t

    I am so upset with a person, that I can feel my blood is rushing to my neck, my head, my brain, and my hair! S**t!

    Just had crab, could have possibly kill me instantly! S**t!
    Anyway, don’t test me, man!
