hello! Greeting from Shanghai! :)
Do you believe in failure? What is failure if you enjoyed the whole process??
Therefore, I don't really call it failure, let's just call it a lesson.. :)
anyway, I like this Adele-Rolling in the Deep song, performed by Boyce Avenue.. Enjoy!
The Scars of your love remind of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You have my hear inside of your hand
But you played it to the beat
-Adele-
Greeting from Shanghai! -which had just experienced snow for an hour today-
Recently, I was very busy with Bali Bistro and found that I had a little time to share my life a bit, so I just share it..=) Up until now, I'm reading a good book by Jack Canfield, titled The Success Principles.. It's been fascinating from the first chapter that I learned quickly afterwards.. It is a formula, the very basic one.. I remember Bill Gates once quote this "If you were born poor, that is not your mistake. But if you die poor, that is". The formula which I learned more about, is this equation :
Event + Response = OutcomeE + R = O
The basic idea is that, everything happens in your life, happiness, sadness, success, failure, or whatever, is the result of how you response to your previous things in your life. This is quite a good guidance for me, in order to survive in my workplace now. There are a lot of factor that put me in frustration, pressure, and whatsoever, but I think I will just change the way I respond it, change the way of think, change how I communicate, to bring the outcome I'd like to have.
Anyway, I'm now preparing for the next Valentine Promo here, so I hope everything turns out well. Shanghai is cold, as always during the winter time..but Europe is much colder than here..Wishing they could survive the cold there..

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plan his annual tomato garden, but it was difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament :
Dear Vincent, I'm feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa.
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa, don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie.
At 4a.m the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa, go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie.

Hello, greeting from Shanghai!!
Let's just lift a simple pray and express our thanksgiving to God that we are now in the end of the year 2011, which means that we are also soon going to be in the new year of 2012.
Ok, to the point saja, I've just made an account in instagram, the photography application in Iphone that allows people to stop the time and capture the moment with their phone and upload it to the community. They can be facebook, twitter, flickr, tumblr, posterus, foursquare, etc..(unfortunately I didn't see Blogger on it :| )
So, I think I just want to share the freezing time I captured with my phone..ummm, well, an amateur work for someone who just gets his new toy.. =P
 | ||||||||||||||
| my first capture was eventually my own Fossil.. It's 2.20am.. Geezz... |

| The road in front of my apartment, Dingxi Road, Thursday, Dec 1st, 11:40am |
Hmm, not bad at all I think, for such a simple application to create this kind of effect.. Ok, let's see what I will capture and share to you all!!
nb: hey, it's getting cold (again) here! Keep warm, keep healthy! See you in the next post! (",)

Saya sangat kecewa dengan produk Iphone dari awal, terutama seri Iphone 4s. Menurut saya, Iphone adalah produk gagal, gagal dalam arti gagal saya beli dari seri awal apalagi sampai seri 4s. Harganya itu lho!
Berbagai quote dari teman-teman saya yang lumayan membuat saya tersenyum ato setidaknya me-Like- status mereka di Facebook. Untuk Denny Frans, saya membaca komennya di halaman harian Kompas, menanggapi artikel "Pemilik iPhone4 Kecewa dengan iPhone4s".
Ada yang mau berbaik hati juga untuk menambahkan?? (",)

So, I just sit here having a cup of hot ginger tea while browsing the good movie to watch until Dela from Kaskus posted her last, that was Solanin... Brought to the movie version from the manga version, took me a while to search and to download it, which was success by the end of the evening..
Don't want to rush, I read the manga first.. The story of Meiko and Taneda, a couple who tried their best to make life goes on and everything is ok, soon to be broke up after Taneda's band #1 cover getting rejected in the record company..Left them in a conclusion that the band's over...and finally when Meiko heard what's the song is all about... it was a farewell song...
Good Bye, I don't care - You'll make it somewhere
I can manage on my own - And it's what I'm gonna do
I haven't finished reading the manga, but I would be sure that this quite an interesting manga and movie..
Interesting in the movie? here is the link for the trailer and the manga
Happy reading and watching!!

Memasuki hari terakhir di bulan ini...rasanya saya sudah benar-benar kehilangan sentuhan untuk menulis.. (atau lebih tepatnya mengetik). Bulan-bulan ini memang menyibukkan tenaga dan pikiran, karena terbatasnya tenaga kerja di restoran tempat saya bekerja, berbagai aktifitas lain untuk sekedar hang out bareng temen pun jadi terbengkalai dan saya jadi seperti manusia anti-sosial.
Anyway, saya benar-benar merasa diberkati oleh Ms.Lusy, status-status or note di Facebooknya serasa memberikan penguatan ataupun juga pemikiran-pemikiran baru yang setidaknya memalingkan otak saya dari pekerjaan..
Belajar menjadi betul? Betul-betul salah satu pembelajaran yang gampang-gampang susah, ataupun susah-susah gampang. Belajar menjadi betul tidak bisa dipelajari hanya lewat teori dan sekolah. Terbentuk melalu serangkaian proses hidup... hampir sama dengan belajar hidup sepanjang hidup.. Masalahnya adalah bahwa definisi betul tiap-tiap individual dibentuk dari nilai atau value hidupnya masing-masing. Dibentuk dari pergaulan dan didikan yang didapat masing-masing. Dibentuk dari prinsip dan pola pikir masing-masing.
dan sepertinya saya juga mesti mengambil kelas belajar menjadi betul ini sekali lagi...dimulai dari diri sendiri dan berharap memberi dampak disekitar saya...

Greeting from Shanghai!
Recently I saw some movies... and I like some words told by the character...Just want to share some...
Profesor: So do you think God is here, in this room?
Black: No, I don't...but I KNOW that HE is here...
(The Sunset Limited, Tommy Lee Jones - Samuel L.Jackson)
"Like I said, shrimp is the fruit if the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it, shrimp kabobs, creole,gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried... There is pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.." (Bubba, Forest Gump)
"Everybody has their own destiny. I have destined to be your Mom. You have to find your own destiny" (Mama, Forest Gump)
"Life is like a box of chocolate. You'd never know what you will have" (Mama, Forest Gump)
"Promise is promise" (Forest, Forest Gump)
"When you'd be a shrimp boat captain, I will be your first mate. Here I am, I'm a man of words" (Lieutenant Dan, Forest Gump)
"For all that matters, the most important thing is the one who are in this room. Salute, for familia!" (Dom, Fast Five)
Humm...I think that is what I remember most..from those 3movies I saw.. hahaha....
Oke, no more update at this moment, but I just posted this from my new Aspire 1551... yeah, say goodbye to Nagabonar..who reached it limit...RIP nagabonar...
Ada seorang tua bijak didatangi seorang pemuda yang sedang dirundung masalah. Tanpa membuang waktu, pemuda itu langsung menceritakan semua masalahnya.
Pak tua bijak hanya mendengarkan dengan seksama, lalu ia mengambil segenggam serbuk pahit dan meminta anak muda itu untuk mengambil segelas air. Ditaburkannya serbuk pahit itu kedalam gelas dan diaduk perlahan. "Coba minum ini dan katakan bagaimana rasanya?" ujar Pak tua.
"Pahit sekali" jawab pemuda itu.
Pak tua itu tersenyum, lalu mengajak pemuda itu untuk berjalan ke tepi telaga dibelakang rumahnya. Mereka berjalan berdampingan dan akhirnya sampai ke tepi telaga yang tenang itu.
Sesampai disana, Pak tua itu kembali menaburkan serbut pahit ke telaga itu dan dengan sepotong kayu ia mengaduknya, "Coba ambil air dari telaga ini dan minumlah"
Saat si pemuda mereguk air itu, Pak tua bertanya lagi, "Bagaimana rasanya?"
"Segar" sahut si pemuda.
"Apakah kamu merasakan pahit di dalam air itu?" tanya pak tua.
"Tidak" sahut pemuda.
Pak tua tertawa terbahak-bahak sambil berkata...
"Anak muda dengarkan baik-baik, pahitnya kehidupan sama seperti segenggam serbuk pahit ini, tak lebih tak kurang. Jumlah dan rasa pahitnya pun sama dan memang akan tetap sama. Tapi kepahitan yang kita rasakan sangat tergantung dari wadah yang kita miliki. Kepahitan itu akan didasarkan dari perasaan tempat kita meletakkannya."
Jadi saat Anda merasakan kepahitan dan kegagalan dalam hidup, hanya ada satu yang Anda dapat lakukan: Lapangkanlah dadamu menerima semuanya itu, luaskanlah hatimu untuk menampung setiap kepahitan itu"
Hatimu adalah wadah itu...Perasaanmu adalah tempat itu..Kalbumu adalah tempat kamu menampung segalanya...
"Jangan jadikan hatimu seperti gelas, buatlah laksana telaga yang mampu menampung setiap kepahitan itu dan merubahnya menjadi kesegaran dan kedamaian..."

Fiuh, after a full 2weeks, akhirnya saya bisa sedikit rehat sejenak, meskipun ga lama-lama juga sih sebenernya...
Saya mendapat informasi tentang 'Project BLUE BIRD', kesempatan bagi orang-orang Indonesia untuk bekerja mencari pengalaman di Belanda.. di poskan oleh salah satu FER member dan diforward ke seluruh pelajar ex-FER, program ini berdurasi kurang lebih 19bulan.. Tawaran yang cukup menarik.
Masalahnya ada di momentum. Ya, momentum project ini tidak pas dengan situasi saya.. (or situasi saya yang tidak pas ya?) Intinya begitulah.. Saya mendiskusikan hal ini dengan Jo dan dia bercerita panjang lebar tentang momentum... Momentum, salah satu faktor kunci kesuksesan yang tidak bisa diabaikan juga... Selain faktor momentum, persiapan saya juga belum mapan juga... Bahasa cina saya yang masih pas-pasan juga menjadi alasan saya untuk tetap tinggal di Shanghai.. Bekerja sambil belajar bahasa? Kurang lebih begitu...
Sorenya Cha2 telpon juga untuk konfirmasi project ini...dan dia juga sepakat kalau project ini tidak cocok untuk saya... Project ini lebih cocok untuk fresh graduate yang sedang cari kerja ataupun pengalaman dan sebagainya... Well actually it would be great to be able to meet her..haha..
Ngomong-ngomong soal momentum juga, kalau akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk melupakan masalah Ms.G, saya rasa juga karena momentumnya yang tidak pas..haha..

Okelah, sekarang kembali fokus bekerja..(sambil belajar juga tentunya)

The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, but are felt in the heart..
That is written on my notebook I bought in the beginning of this year in People Square... I just didn't realize what's written on it until I re-read it again during my day to day Chinese lesson.. Anyway, I'm doing fine here but still the weather just don't love me that much.. still have to thanks God that I'm in Shanghai.. Feel deeply sad to know about the earthquake in Japan but glad to hear all people I know there are all safe...
well a lot of things going on here which me myself couldn't describe it clearly..what's going on here? time flies so fast and people just come and go...moreover that those things to be felt in the heart, I couldn't really feel it.. [or maybe I just miss my old fellows n old feelings....]

An interesting breakfast I had this morning was a '鸡蛋饼' (Ji Dan Bing) with '油条' (You Tiao), a traditional Shanghai food with kind of Cakwee...only for 3.50 RMB, and grab a small box of Chocolate milk for 3.80RMB, costs me total of 7.30RMB and keep me away from hunger until 2.30pm... NICE! Will have it for another day then.. (",) Well, reservation goes crazy, time for reality now..oyeah, IT'S FUN TIME!!! Ciao!

Hello world! I will not be in Shanghai starting for 1st of October to 4th of October for retreating a while in Suzhou..
My mom called me before and talk about Deuteronomy 28 for the first part... [The Blessings for Obedience], I want to write it down..
My mom called me before and talk about Deuteronomy 28 for the first part... [The Blessings for Obedience], I want to write it down..
"If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them."
one wise reminder before I go..
