  • Third Type

    There are three types of people in this world:
    those who make things happen,
    those who watch things happen,
    and those who wonder what happened.
    Mary Kay Ash

    I think i’m 10% “number 1”, 40 “number 2”, and 50% “number 3” :p Haha.
    Anyway, there’s nothing wrong being the number one, number two, or number three, right? Which one are you?

  • Trick

    Do you remember when you were about junior/senior high school, we used to put a written paper like ‘Aku Orang Gila’, or whatever, behind the back of our friends?
    Do you remember when we were about that age, we like to put gum on a bench, so the next person sat there will ‘suffer’?

    Do you remember all those tricks?

    And now, ask your friends, who was not at the same school or not lived in the same town. Mostly, they did the same tricks too!! And, i wonder HOW. We had no internet connection to check what tricks students in Jakarta have or Surabaya have, or etc. But amazingly, we’re all using the same tricks! Nobody teached nobody. Nobody spread the tricks to all the school in Indonesia. So, how?

    Any explanation?

  • Nikon

    Quite fun trying my pal’s camera (Nikon). Like the clicking sound of it.
    Zooming, focusing, adjusting, stay still, focused, click!

    Look at how i performed above-mentioned task!
    Not bad huh? Haha.
    Maybe, can later become a photo-journalist, hmmm… but must start with photo-blogging instead (which i dont really have the passion to start right now).

    Anyway, just feel really refreshed, after pulang-kampung for couple of days. Pekanbaru. A fast growing town. Really fast.
    About 8 years ago, when my friends ask me to ‘jalan-jalan’, it really meant we’re on ‘jalan’, roamed around the streets. But now, when they say ‘jalan-jalan’, it could means malls (and we have to ask: ‘jalan-jalan’ which mall?). Nah..that fast!

    The only thing I regretted in my home-town is a new statue around Simpang Komersial Arengka. Imagine you eat something very very very bad, and you regret you have put that damn thing in your mouth, and you later call it “mouth-killer”. And the statue i mentioned above is an “eye-killer”. I regret i’ve ever seen such an ugly thing with my eyes. :))

    Overall, pay a visit to Pekanbaru, and feel the heartbeat of growing Sumatra…. And maybe, you can experience one of my shoot with my pal’s Nikon!

  • The Arab Sex Joke

    Just realised there’re many things to find (or to entertain self) in friendster. I found a joke:

    An Arab was being interviewed at a US checkpoint.
    ‘Your name please?
    “Abdul Aziz ”
    “Sex? ”
    “Six times a week!! ”
    “No, no, I mean male or female! ”
    “Doesn’t matters, sometimes even camel !”

    Or a simple set-of-20-question that you will feel fine to answer when you have not much to do:

    ONE. Spell your name without vowels:
    Swnd (know anybody whose name without vowel??)
    TWO. What is the date 2 days after your birthday?
    Feb 6th

    THREE. How many pairs of jeans do you own?
    4 (i think so, err… include the latest Giordano-on-sale)

    FOUR. What color do you wear most?
    Blue jeans, white shirt (red also)

    FIVE. Least favourite color?
    Green, purple, black (i can name 3, right?)

    SIX. Last song you heard?
    Gary Portnoy – Where Everybody Knows Your Name (altho, i really really want to hear Celebrate from Lake, still cannot find the mp3)

    SEVEN. What’s for dinner tonight?
    Probably just rice with some dish like chicken, vegetables, egg. Hmm, personally prefer Nasi Padang. Slurps..

    EIGHT. Are you happy with your life right now ?
    Why not? Are you not happy?

    NINE. Anyone ever said you resemble a celebrity?:
    Some say I’m like a perfect blend of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
    And i asked them back “Are you kidding???”
    And they said “You Bet!!!”. Damn…

    TEN. In what state or country do you want to go to school in?
    I have finished my schooling, and i never regret being part of a great high-school year in hometown. The best. Good friends. Also never regret my campus life.

    ELEVEN. Do you shop at stores like Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch?
    None.

    TWELVE. How do you make babies?
    Fertilisation or fertilization (also known as conception, fecundation and syngamy) is fusion of gametes to form a new organism of the same species. In animals, the process involves a sperm fusing with an ovum, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo. Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in internal fertilisation, or outside in the case of external fertilisation.

  • Time – Plato

    You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change
    and even reverse many of your present opinions.
    Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.
