miss understood
it's quite interesting to know how communication between two person with different background, different culture, different language, could lead in a misunderstanding situation.. how funny to realize how childish we are, bringing the ego of ourselves in our point of view..without regardless try to put our feet in their shoes.. 

hei, we still have a long to go, don't we? through difficulties, the bond will become unbreakable.. every moment that spent together shall be priceless..

and above all, the words misunderstood will be slowly turn into an understandable solution and matters. 


cheers, my miss understood!

hello!
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 
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-

#1 Principle
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 = Outcome 
E + 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..

time to move on again

HA! Akhirnya liburan saya di Indonesia berakhir juga.. Tak terasa waktu berjalan cepat, 1bulan sudah lewat semenjak Desember yang lalu setelah 2tahun saya pergi meninggalkan Indonesia. Liburan yang sudah ditunggu-tunggu dan juga terasa sangat spesial karena liburan ini saya bisa merayakan 3even besar bersama keluarga, kerabat, dan sahabat...

Ulang Tahun ke 80 Engkong Tercinta, Sutedjo

Happy Birthday Kong! Di usia yang ke80, semoga Engkong tetap semangat menjalani kehidupan, meskipun kadang merasa sendirian dan kesepian, tapi Engkong nd sendirian, ada Tuhan yang selalu menjaga Engkong..


Natal 2011-Tahun baru 2012

Natal dan tahun baru kemarin ini saya merayakan bersama keluarga di GKI Tm.Majapahit, kebetulan Gaby Geboy, adik saya ini, mementaskan drama musikal berjudul Inn Keeper bersama teman-temannya. Berjumpa dengan wajah-wajah yang familiar memang menyenangkan. Serasa menjadi bintang film dadakan juga karena banyak orang menanyakan bermacam2 hal... Well yang paling penting ya bisa natalan bareng mami papi n Geboy, setelah sekian tahun.. #lebay

after 4 years, maybe??

Tanggal 30 dan 31nya, kami ber4 memutuskan untuk berlibur ke Jogja, karena disamping tidak begitu jauh untuk tour yang tidak direncanakan, kebetulan keluarga Om Aris dari Singapore pas ada di Jogja juga, jadi sekalian bersilaturahmi dengan keluarga Om Aris.. 

  
Om Aris-Tante Evi-Mom-Nida-Qori-Gaby-Papi-Me
Sepulangnya dari Jogja, kami langsung menuju ke Gardenia untuk merayakan tahun baru bersama keluarga Om Dede dan Miss Lusy, sayangnya lil ken ud tidur.... Anyway, it was fun to have gather like this... 


Last but not least was, my 25th Birthday

YEp! Ulang tahun saya yang ke 25 kali ini dapat saya rayakan di Indonesia, bersama keluarga..setelah kurang lebih, 4tahun juga saya tidak merayakan bersama mereka.. kalau dipikir2, memasuki usia ke 25 ini artinya sudah 24tahun saya berada di bumi ini.. resolusi apa kira2 yang saya miliki ya?? ah, saya simpan saja jawabannya untuk saya sendiri..dan sayalah juga yang akhirnya dapat membuktikan kepada diri saya sendiri... =) 


and when the parties and fun are all over, it's time for me to move again.. Only God know what lies in front of my journey.. and with the support of my family and my friends, I believe it won't be an impossible task to do..coz God makes the impossible possible..

Trolling from prison


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.

"Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people" -Simon Cowell-


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?? (",)

wet and hot
Another hot raining day in Shanghai! Got to wake up at 4, prepare for Bank Mandiri catering in Pudong... then left from Bali Bistro at 6, yes, it was raining hardly this morning, yet it was hot.. Vitti texted me that today 'you wet you re' [ 又湿又热] and I just agreed... since me and my staff needed to bring all the catering stuff to 12th floor, it was even hotter... =.= 

We finished the catering around 3 anyway, thanks to the security staff who didn't allow us to go since we don't have the leaving authority paper which need to be issued by Bank Mandiri.. Their staff all went to have lunch, due to the soft opening of Bank Mandiri Shanghai Branch.. 

Anyway, I'm home already.. the sky outside is still grey, with the chance of raining and the hot temperature here.. It's Shanghai anyway, what do you expect man?

solanin

if it happens, it happens.... -Taneda

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!!

w.a.n.i.t.a

Haha..ini saya dapet inbox dari E-Humor, sekedar share sajalah disini.. berhubung masih ga ada topik untuk dibahas... mari kita membahas tentang wanita... :)

  • Jika dikatakan cantik, dikira menggoda...Jika dikatakan jelek, dikira menghina...
  • Bila disebut lemah, dia protes...Bila disebut perkasa, malah menangis...
  • Maunya emansipasi, tapi disuruh membetulkan genteng menolak.. (sambil mengomel, 'Masak disamakan ama cowok??)
  • Jika ditanya 'Siapa yang paling dibanggakan?' jawabnya 'Ibuku', tapi paling bangga kalo bisa jadi wanita karir.... (padahal ibunya 'Ibu Rumah Tangga')
  • Bila kesalahannya diingatkan, mukanya merah.. Bila diajari mukanya merah, disanjung mukanya merah, jika marah mukanya merah... Lha kok sama semua?? #bingung
  • Ditanya ya atau tidak, diam... Ditanya tidak atau ya, diam... Ditanya ya atau ya, diam juga.. Ditanya tidak atau tidak, lha diam juga... kalau didiamkan, malah marah...(kita disamakan ama dukun yang bisa nebak jawabannya)
  • Disebut ceriwis, marah...dibilang berisik, ngambek, dibilang banyak mulut malah tersinggung.. tapi kalo dibilang supel, seneng banget... (padahal kan intinya sama si?)
  • Disebut gemuk, tidak senang, padahal maksudnya sehat.. Dibilang kurus, malah senang.. padahal maksudnya 'Kok bisa seperti itu??'
  • Itulah wanita.... dia makin senang kalo kita makin bingung....


So,,what do you think? -Selanjutnya, terserah anda... :) -
