air mancur kura-kura
ini postingan ga jelas....lagi demen wayang lindur soalnya.. judulnya aja ud ga jelas... haha.. jadi ceritanya di depan restoran tempat saya kerja ini ada 3patung air mancur kura-kura.. nah, salah satu patungnya ini airnya ga mau nyembur kenceng.. Manajer saya, mister frank yang tersohor di Bali Laguna ini ngutak atik sambil bilang gini..
'Tuh, lo liat ga? airnya keluarnya kecil...kaya kencing anak gw aja...'

*saya ketawa ngakak..

btw, hari ini Shanghai Expo 2010 resmi dibuka lho.. jedar jedor kembang apinya dari Pudong kedengeran sampe Puxi area.. tapi kata temen yg nonton siaran langsungnya, acaranya lebih bagus waktu opening Olympiade Beijing 2008, tapi kembang apinya lebih bagus yang ini... ah..saya ga ikut-ikut ah..

ya sudah, saya mau pulang saja...hari ini ga gitu ramai, cuma badan masih belom sehat betul..jadi ya kebawa capek juga...

Selamat malam dari shanghai! semoga besok si patung kura-kura ga kencing kaya anaknya mr.frank lagi...

Tuhan memberkati..

red:oya, temen saya, Shella, kemaren bilang gini waktu chat di msn... 'God only makes happy ending...if it's not happy, then it's not the end'

ahaha... hari ini chat sama maminya kenan, ms.lusy namanya... ms.lusy itu adiknya mami.. nah kenan itu adik sepupu saya...intinya ms.lusy itu anaknya enkong saya [halah,mbulet!!] dalam salah satu percakapan, ms.lusy menulis..

"jalan meraih mimpi itu tak akan pernah mudah..so, keep on dreaming, keep on going, keep on being grateful, then POP! suddenly the dream is already in front of you.."

thanks a lot ms.lusy, like this very much! btw, it's not too philosophic kok..it is just as it is.. a philosophical philosophy..^^

Greeting from Shanghai!

Saya akan mencoba mengasah kemampuan berbahasa Indonesia saya lagi. Haha..oke, bicara-bicara soal internet (bicara-bicara??), jaman sekarang ini memang sudah jaman teknologi maju yang segala sesuatunya menuntut adanya internet. Beberapa tahun lalu pun slogan "Internet Masuk Desa" gencar diserukan oleh Telkom... Nah, kali ini topik yang lagi hangat diserukan oleh Bali Laguna adalah Internet Masuk Bali Laguna.. meskipun pendapatan per malam bisa mencapai 4digit angka, tetapi layanan Wifi belom tersedia di Bali Laguna..

Sekitar awal bulan lalu, akhirnya layanan Wifi tersedia juga di Bali Laguna.. Saya diberi mandat oleh atasan saya untuk mengabari perancang model kami, Anne, untuk membuat sebuah poster bahwa layanan wifi sudah tersedia di Bali Laguna.. Dan hasil poster yang dibuat Anne memang membuat saya berdecak kagum.. Penuh dengan kreativitas.. Inilah hasilnya..

[togog pun melek internet]

Tidak tanggung-tanggung, dalam poster yang dibuat, komputernya pun memakai merk Apple.. haha.. Yang penting sekarang internet sudah masuk Bali Laguna lewat Wifi.. Jadi bagi para tamu yang ingin menikmati 'afternoon tea' sambil berinternet ria, silahkan saja.. Dengan adanya fasilitas Wifi, pekerjaan saya juga bakal lebih ringan karena sewaktu-waktu saya butuh koneksi internet, saya tinggal memakai Naga Bonar saya..

Oya, besok ini hari libur saya..dan saya akan mengunjungi sebuah tempat di Shanghai bernama Qipulu, pertokoan barang murah disana dengan kualitas yang...mungkin murah juga..haha.. mencoba menilik sisi lain kota Shanghai..

Oke, waktunya istirahat buat saya.. selamat malam sobat sekalian.. Tuhan memberkati..



expression
a spontaneous expression is always funny expression.. just like what we had last night when a guest brought their new i-pad.. this is the picture of I-pad i got from googling.

so, this is some of the expression of us who saw it right away..

me: woase! very nice..
rowell: that's ipad, isn't it?
dan: woase...maybe feijang feijang expensive a...

and this is the funniest one...[according to me]
mr.frank: woase! very big i-phone a...

me, rowell, and dan were all laughing.. yes, that's another expression..

anyway, this is the story of the day.
today i met with a guest, he spoke indonesian a little bit. then i was curious why he speaks indonesian and he said he was dutchman but some several times go to indonesia. i ask him where he is from in netherland and he said he was from amsterdam. then i asked him if he knew indrapura restaurant by the rembrandtplein -since it was my previous workplace- by all chance, he told me that he'd thought he'd seen me before and it's obvious that it was on indrapura restaurant. i served him before, i was serving him as well now.. both in indonesian restaurant.

the world is small, isn't it? but i'm glad that i remember him..moreover that he remembered me..

haha..okelah, time to go home.. pretty tired for this weekend..

god bless you all..

Ni hao!

Have you ever heard of Des Sables? It's also known as MDS or Marathon Des Sables. Somehow, this marathon is the toughest footrace on earth. It covers 243km/151miles run over 6-7days on the dry Sahara dessert. The competitor itself also have to carry their own need in rucksack on their back, including food,medical aid, sleeping-bag, etc etc.. Water will be provided on every check point.

Well...the preparation itself, including physical training and mentally training too.. Since the heat of Sahara will absolutely lead to mental stress as you endure yourself. I couldn't imagine myself running in The Sahara for 7days! For the detail info, you can check it here

But one thing that I know, it needs a great amount of self-discipline, determination, and strong will to reach the finish line. I believe there will be many time for the runner when they feel like shit and thinking to throw the towel.

It's just like what I face now...as an analogy...to put me on those Sahara dessert where I feel like shit and thinking to give it up..until an encouragement come to me today.. posted by my beloved mom.. She wrote this to me..


When nobody respect about what you do..That's when you learn about sincerity
When your heart is hurt so deep..That's when you learn about forgiving
When you feel alone..That's when you learn about tenacity
When you feel so tired and disappointed..That's when you learn about earnestness


I think it's enough for me to keep running on my own Marathon Des Sables.. Thanks mom...for encouraging me...
estigma
saya sebal dengan orang yang selalu berkata 'Saya tidak peduli'
saya juga sebal dengan orang yang selalu berkata 'Itu bukan urusan saya'
tapi saya paling sebal dengan orang yang berkata 'Saya yakin kalian tidak akan dapat orang sepintar saya'

dan saya tidak butuh orang seperti anda di tim saya...

semoga anda merubah sikap anda ditempat kerja baru anda.. semoga anda bisa lebih peduli.. dan yang paling penting..semoga anda sadar bahwa masih lebih banyak orang yang lebih pintar daripada anda..

'Saya harap saya bisa mengatakan hal ini...sebagai atasan anda saya menghargai anda...dan sebagai teman anda saya harap anda bisa berubah'

fiuh..anda seperti bekas luka yang tidak bisa hilang saja...
