Can’t change your life by changing your life.

Yeah maybe some of you’ll ask “What does it mean, and how could it be?”

The first of all, I suggest you to broaden your horizon, be open minded, try another novel point of view, and free your minds. Than I believe you’ll have a new believes.

No I’m not talking about religion, stay in your religion and be a faithful one. I’m talking about common believes, try reconsider it don’t just take it for granted.

Base on your new believes, try to put your hopes on that. That hopes will lead your attitudes which will give you new reasons for your acts.

Finally all of that will reflected on your performances. And remember your performances are the treads which’re used to weave your life.


If you change your minds, than your believes will be changed.
If you change your believes, than your hopes will be changed.
If you change your hopes, than your attitudes will be changed.
If you change your attitudes, than your behaves will be changed.
If you change your behaves, than your performances will be changed.
If your change your performance, than your life will be changed.

Pica-pica! (Pikacu?)

Three days ago I went to Bogor with my friend (my tutormate), her husband and their baby boy. That day both of us wanted to meet the department principal [hey I think he has already fed up with you man] (he..he..) at Campus. We talked about many things during the journey, from just a chitchat and jokes to our scripcy progression and serious business.


One of the talk was about my friend's experience during her pregnancy. At the beginning of her pregnancy she had felt craving for "bakpau" (kind of Chinese bread) at 3 am (what a silly request). "Did you get it?" asked me, "No" her husband answered, "You think where can you find bakpau at that time ?" (he..he..,should I answer this question)[no you don't dumbass], I asked why, why suddenly she wanted to eat bakpau at early morning, she answered "I don't know I just wanted that thing, just right in that time" (what the heaven!). Yeah that's one of the weirdest things I know on earth, and that fenomena also happen to me and my mom too. My mother told me that when she was pregnant, which was loaded by me inside, she had felt craving for bite car's tire rubber. [What the hack, are you serious?] (unfortunately, yes!)

Ok let's drill it down! Some pregnancy articles said that, those fenomena is called pica, a craving for eats non food things which are found mostly among pregnant woman. Some of them said that it fenomena may coursed by the deficiencies of some minerals needed. But the other said the unstable hormones responsible for those all mess. So which one you chose, according to my experience as teenage I prefer to the second theory. I think "the rollercoaster" of pregnancy and puberty is alike, both of them are hormonal trouble base. So there's no strong reason to fulfill all silly, weird, nonsense requests. The fact, my mom never bites car's tire rubber and I didn't dribble when I was a baby. But if you have ability to fulfill your pregnant wife request, just fulfill it to show her that you care.[ceile...]

Einstein's Brainteaser

What's up Fellow, back again with another riddle.
Here you go, some little bird told me that this riddle was written by Einstein last century and they also told that only 2% of the society who could solve this riddle, believe it or not just give it a shot, and figure out which part are you included to...


Ok let's start it
There are five houses in a row in different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

And the question is-- who owns the fish?

Hints:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Princes.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

There are no tricks, pure logic will take you to the correct answer. And yes, there is enough information to arrive at the one and only correct answer.

Already know the answer yet? Yes you're right the answer is The German!
[hei what’s wrong with you smart pants, you ruin the brainteaser!] He..he… take it easy, on my view the fun factor is not lay on knowing The German who owns the fish, the process to conclude that answer is the real fun factor.

Ok just give your best shot, and to compare with my process just click here

Not a Super Hero, just another costume freak detective.

Can you guest who's the men described by this post's title? Yeah you're right! [hei wait a minute dude, you speak like Dora the Explorer, ask questions and respond as if somebody have answered it yet, are you sure?] Hei take it easy pal easy...

The man is BATMAN yeah! Comic character which's created by Bob Kyne as the artist) and Bill Finger (writer) in May 1939. He can't fly, can't see trough wall and can't run as fast as bullet, in other words, he like just another human being. So why he's called super hero by some people, I think because he has pushed him self to the top condition of physical and intellectual condition, after had witnessed his parents' dead in a robbery, when he was a kid. By using sophisticated tools and vehicle he can parallel super-human power and ability which possessed by other heroes. With detective skill, knowledge and strategy he fight the crimes.

[Hei why Batman, why don't you talk about others heroes like superman, flash gordon, gundala, si buta dari gua hantu, etc and if you want to, I can create one for you!] No thanks pal, Batman character has given much influence to my life. All started when I was around seven or eight years old. I was sick and had to get a medical care in Jakarta Hospital (RSJ he..he..). At that time, in every single working day even thouth visiting time had up, and I had already slept, my father still came to my room and used to buy me Batman comic series.

Nopromise, Overdeliver

In order to maintain my confident, comfortableness, appearance and saving shampoo of course, once in a month I go to nearest barbershop around my neighborhood. I’ve been cutting my hair routinely there at least since one and a half year ago with same style, 2 cm short flat hairstyle. The barbers called it “sepid” /spd/ in

Sundaness accent [they actually mean are Keanu Reeves hairstyle in Speed movies].Last Sunday, just like another day before, for a hair cut I had to wait for a while. [Hei what da pic is that ? Just keep on reading man !] After 35 minute of a beautiful waiting had done, my turn came over. Had been given a brief instruction, the barber started to work on my hair immediately. As usual there are three terms in hair cut, first is rough approach [with emm… I don’t know what that electric tool called, what I know only it has some kind of two blades with zigzag edges, and sound “wezzzz” when operated], the second is finishing touch [they use thin scissor and skinny comb for detail shaping], and the third is light massage and clean all up [sometime I feel worry with neck breaking alike movement “prek-prek” he..he..].

In the first term every thing had ran smoothly and fine, those situations always make me little bit sleepy. And then second term started, right side, left side, beck side, every thing had ran easily till front side finishing touch hit me. After had tidied fore head part suddenly the barber cut off the outside edges of my left eyebrow. “WooWoooWoooW” that’s shocking me, made me speechless. Actually I wanted to say “What da heaven you think you doing man?” but I didn’t. If I had stopped him to cut the other side, I would have loose my balance [the eyebrows balance of course].

What could I say? Every thing has done, regrets were useless. I was wondering how he could have that initiative. Maybe it was caused because my eyebrows ware too long on the edges and looked massy. Some time in the morning when I wake up my eyebrows appear on my view. And some time my mother yell at me “Tidy up your eyebrows!!”. I Thing the barber has already do the right thing :D. Thanks barber but next time confirmation is important ok.

Is it hot or just me ?

What da day, why it's so dry and hot here in Jakarta. You know that now is January, it should be rainy season come around [beside merry season, and durian season of course]. Not only Jakarta but also in Bogor the City of Rain. People said that Bogor has
a micro climate pattern which's caused of its geographical structure and position. It was used to rains in daily basis around da year in Bogor, but now that's not more than another legend, an urban legend [don't think so:]

What in da world happen to the climate pattern anyway? Climate and weather expert from BMG (Badan Meteorologi dan Geofisika) said that's an anomaly has been happening since one or two weeks ago. Normally on the beginning of rainy season’s temperature’s around 31-32 Celsius degree but right now thermometers are indicating 36 Celsius degree. This abnormal pattern of weather is called dry spell, caused by Eddy cycle (closed whirlwind) on South China Sea. By those situations, rains have been being concentrated only on soulth China Sea. The circumstances are getting worse, because winds're blowing very fast around 15-20 knot in layer 3000, 5000 up to 13000 feeds, and rain clouds will only composed if wind blows below 10 knot.

So what now, what are those all facts' mean. Do you think those facts are mean less?, maybe you should reconsider it again. Do you think those facts are only explanations about recent circumstances?, you right but let's reconsider it again. Every thing in this world has its own direct and indirect causes, with high, fair or low correlations. The Nature always searches for the balance position, the most effortless, steady position. Nature is a dynamic systm, and has its own behaviors. If one or some of its elements move or get moved, the nature will search and find its new balance [sound familiar isn't it, oh yeah my old shoes' trade mark]. To get da balance condition the nature will converts energy forms, potential, kinetic, heat and others. And to get along with the nature we should learn and understand about its behaviors, do not mess it up and make some anticipations needed. When we treat the nature wrong, not try to learn and understand about its behaviors, and make no required anticipation, no wonder if there’re so many bad things [such natural disaster, national disaster, and personal disaster too] happen out there. Who's to blame? Let's blame da systm, therefore every body's happy and no one's hand get dirty. But who have built da systm anyway?.Temons thoughts

Late Night Jazz (Bang Toyib loves Big Band too)

Now I'm listening Louis Armstrong and his big band on CNJ Radio. Several weeks ago my junior called me "Bang Toyib", WHAT DA HEAVEN, but that was ok to me and I understood what actually she mean.
Today I'm on intersection of my life, it's hard to decide which way to

go it's not about jiggy, status, or chick, I think it's all about vision. Is it important to tell them all about that ? don't think so. Maybe they think I'm silly or something, up to them coz I don't really care. And I'll always play ....

With Imagination (I'll Get There)
Harry Connick, Jr.

I've travelled many a mile
And I haven't found a home
I've travelled many a mile
And one seed's unsown
I'll travel another mile
'Til I finally find my own
With imagination
I'll get there

I started with a dream
But came to a decision
I started with a dream
But now I have a mission
I have a goal
To see beyond my vision
With imagination
I'll get there

I've got to be strong [Shannon]
TO CLIMB THE NEXT HILL
I've got to be strong [Russell]
MY FATE TO FULFILL
And from a strength [Leroy]
STRONGER THAN MY WILL
WITH IMAGINATION
I'LL GET THERE

In my father's house
No harsh words are spoken
In my father's house
No vows are broken
In a holy place
My sould like beams oaken
With imagination
I'll get there

When weary is your world
Go and spin another
When weary is your world
There's heaven to discover
Here on earth
We're sister and brother
With imagination
We'll get there

And if I stand alone
To my cause I'm loyal
If I stand alone
Either common or royal
I'm not afraid
To cross their sea of toil
With imagination
I'll get there

With imagination
I'll get there

With imagination
I'll get there

And last but least, if you know why to live you will live any how.

Never Mind

I won't forget the taste of that mind.
Generate a unique aftertaste sensation.
Mix of bliss and pain.

Transmit sensitivity waves to my intelligent receiver.
Come together with noise of its silences.
Trigger confusion, curiosity, and madness some times.

Force me to getting deep and deeper.
Finally force me to swallow the conclusion of "realities".
Enough is enough !! I fed up with all of those "realities".

No choices, coz there's only one the real truth.
Maybe I’ll never find it.
But I’ll keep on tryin..tryin.. and tryin.

Let me stay hungry and stay foolish.
Till my time pick me up.
