My New Life

2011-12-13T16:33:00.002+08:00

After I ever described how I loved my jobs, now here comes the story about how I feel when I leave after spending 3 wonderful years there..
Started with my sick father-in-law, the one who was willingly taking and picking me up to and from this lovely office. When he got sick, my husband were not willingly to take me to office. My salary was also not enough to even buy a second car as my transportation. Also, it happened that my housemaid resign her job, which means there would be noone took care of my lovely daughter.
So, I decided to end this lovely experience.. Changing my working day into the lovely day a real Mother, the role that I never experienced before. But, I glad that I make a right decision.

Happy Working!

2009-03-23T20:33:00.002+08:00

How should I describe what I feel right now?

I have a beautiful working environment which makes me feel like I really have a big family. Everyone is supporting, assisting and protecting each other. In this place, I really feel the big togetherness. We feel the happiness when others are winning competition, when others are having their wedding, when others are having their babies. On the other hand, we feel the sadness when others are in trouble, when others are sick and even when they lost their families...

Although I've just spent these last 6.5 months, but everything is so wonderful. Together, we have faced the Quality Manager, Internal Auditor and mystery shoppers. We attended many socialization programs that kill much of our time. Apart from all of those things, there is one more thing that I love. That is when we are together, holding our hands to form a circle and singing the song of Diana Ross "If we hold on together".

If we hold on together..
I know our dreams will never die..
Dreams see us thorough to forever..
Where clouds roll by...
For you and I..

Really a lot of thanks to God that gave me this lovely chance to be part of this big family and appreciation to the amazing leaders, Mrs. Business Coordinator & Mrs. Supervisor that had taught me a lot of new things that I've never heard before..

Searching, Waiting and Praying..

2008-08-29T13:31:00.002+08:00

Now I really really feel how difficult looking for the job is. It is very difficult to decide what my interests are to determine what positions that will suit me the most. I have sent more than 5 applications to 5 companies, but only 1 company that gladly replied me.

I was very tremendously happy when I was invited to job interview by Accenture at Jakarta. My bf gladly accompanied me, driving almost 3 hours from Bandung to Sudirman, Jakarta and another 2 hours from Jakarta to Bandung. My bf's sister lent me her shirt, pant, suit and shoes. I really really thanked to them. I was interviewed by the Senior System Integration that has been worked there for 9 years. That was a wonderful experience since that was my very first job interview and I knew I really screwed it up. But, I think the interviewer likes me since she gave me a call in the morning. Unluckily, my stomach did not feel good at that time, so I asked her to call me in another hour. Unluckily and sadly, she never calls until now.. I've tried to call her back, but she always away for her works. So, finally, I just take those as my first experience in job interview.

When I went back for holiday at my hometown, I also sent 2 applications. But only 1 that invited me for the writing test, interview and medical check-up. The job really really did not associate with my degree. I feel so sad right now that I can not practice what I have been taught during my degree. But, my parents always remind me that the position is not important. Our degree taught us how to think logically which then can also be used in any sectors in working.

Now, I just sent 1 more application for company on Singapore. Did my resume really do not impress them? I know I don't have any work experiences before.. Is that the reason? All I am doing right now is still Searching, Waiting and Praying...

Politics atmosphere in South Sumatra

2008-08-29T00:54:00.003+08:00

For the very first time, every province can choose their own governor like what is happening right now. On 4th Sept 2008, every people in South Sumatra will use their rights to vote their own favorite leader.
All the brochures, flags and still many more properties are everywhere on every side of South Sumatra. There are only two candidates, ALDY and SOHE.

ALDY consists of Alex Noerdin and Eddy Yusuf. Alex Noerdin is the leader of Musi Banyuasin (MUBA) area, a small area in South Sumatra. He is the first man that contributed a lot to the education of MUBA people. It can be seen from his website. One of his contribution is that he gives FREE MEDICATION and FREE SCHOOL to everyone on MUBA. He also plans the similar thing if he can be the future governor. He even has prepared many 'small special places' that will function to give free medication as soon as he wins the election.

SOHE consists of Syahrial Oesman and Helmy Yahya. Syahrial Oesman is the current governor while Helmy Yahya is one of the artists that also a creative director on some companies. Oesman has contributed a lot to the infrastructure in South Sumatra, especially Palembang. Palembang is included as the big 5 province in Indonesia. Last time, we did not have a mall, but now we have 3 malls. We even have a highway that is on construction. The best thing is that when Palembang become the champion on the football tournament.

However, the bad situation keeps on arising since we can see some videos (not sure if they are real or fiction..) from youtube.com, started from unsatisfaction from MUBA's residents to Noerdin about Free medication and Free School until his scandal and his suspicious SMU's certificate. This website also shows the Oesman's action on Genting.

I just confused. Nobody's perfect in this world. Every candidate has their own strengths and weaknesses. So, it will be better to follow your heart and select the one that can make our South Sumatra better and better..

The Science of Happiness: The Happiest Man in the world

2008-06-29T13:02:00.004+08:00

Here is an interesting article taken from Business Intelegant and The Independent.

In 2004, researchers at University of Wisconsin conducted a study on the brain patterns of hundreds of volunteers from different walks of life. The bell curve of the MRI measurements fell between +0.3 (a Sylvia Plath acolyte, no doubt) to -0.3 (Richard Simmons, perhaps?). But Matthieu Ricard alone achieved an astonishing score of -0.45 – a level of joy so far above the others that his score was nearly off the chart.

Matthieu Ricard, 60, was regarded as one of the most promising biologists of his generation. He completed a starred PhD at the Institut Pasteur under the supervision of Nobel prize-winner François Jacob, but abandoned his scientific career in 1972, when he moved to Darjeeling. There, he devoted himself to studying under Kangyur Rinpoche, a Tibetan master in the Nyingma tradition: the most ancient school of Buddhism. He has been a monk, and celibate, since he was 30. Ricard still lives at the Schechen Monastery in Nepal.

“The mind is malleable. Our life can be greatly transformed by even a minimal change in how we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world. Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time.”

To fill your life with joy, he said, you must recognize what already makes you happy, and work to change your mental balance. “You have to identify what it is in that situation that makes you happy. It’s as though you’re making a journey, and you look in your rucksack to find it half filled with provisions, half with stones. You need to take out the stones and put in more provisions.”

"How much do you love him/her?"

2008-06-27T01:16:00.004+08:00

That's a quote from movie 'Win a date with Tod Hamilton'.
It's about an LA actor, Tod Hamilton that falls in love to a West-Virginia girl.
However, the relationship is over since the girl realized that she falls in love with her best friend.

Just wanna share some quotes from the movie.
"How much do you love her?"
"There are 3 types of love: LOVE, BIG LOVE & GREAT LOVE"
"You can get rid of LOVE for 2 months, BIG LOVE for 2 years... but.. GREAT LOVE changes your life!"

"What kind of love do you have?"

Pledge for Firefox 3

2008-06-02T23:32:00.006+08:00

I was browsing through the net and found the link about Firefox 3 that wants to achieve as

the most software downloads in 24 hours on a Guinness Book World Record 2008

It sounds interesting since it means that this latest version of Firefox has better performance rather than the current version. Frankly speaking, I got some bugs in the current version. When I open too many tabs, the navigation box (place where you type on the URL link) on the browser will only show the latest link that I have typed. For example, I opened yahoo, google, friendster, facebook & my monash. So, my current tab is my monash, then when I switched the tab back to yahoo, the navigation box would show up as "my.monash.edu.au" instead of "yahoo.com". Furthermore, the 'Back', 'Forward' & 'Refresh' buttons also can not work. It's so so so irritating when I did some researches for my assignments and it was so so important to keep the references link..

Another bug is the 'Find' option. This option should assist me in finding some keywords quickly, but sometimes it did not work well..

I really hope that the latest version of Firefox can fix this bug.. Really waiting for the download day since it has not been announced yet..

For those of you who wants to join this, click on this link and press 'Pledge Now' button, enter your region and email address, then you will be notified when the download day is decided :)

Thinking..

2008-06-02T12:19:00.003+08:00

For the last few days, a question always pops-up on my mind

Is it worth to give up all the good opportunity and fancy freedom only for what-so-called love...

End of semester Gathering

2008-05-28T01:07:00.002+08:00

This is hopefully my final semester in Monash life.. Thus, me and friends were planning to have last gathering before graduating..

So today, after class, we went to Pyramid to have lunch together.
We tried burger, somewhere at Lower Ground Floor of the mall. The environment is nice, but staying there too long will freeze you.. The food actually is OK (I still prefer Subway.. hohoho..). The good thing here is that we can refill our drink with many kinds of drink, Lemon Tea, Ice Tea, Cokes, 100+..

After eating, we took some pictures then walking around to Sony Ericsson + Nokia center to check out what kind of mobile phones that are the latest on the market. Mobile phone centers really has a lot investment to decorate their own store with those LCD touch screen. It's interesting though seeing some kinds of stuffs that really make use of technology. I wish one day I could create the stuff like that (LOL..).

Then, we played archery together. Luckily, there is a promotion right now. The normal price is rm9/person/12 arrows while the promotion price costs us only rm12.30/person/27 arrows. This sport really made my left hand feel pains and tense after shooting all the 27 arrows, but it's just feel good when I can shoot the arrow to the right-place-to-be..

Lesson learnt: Overconfident really does not suit me at all..

2008-05-28T00:30:00.004+08:00

Today is so frustrating since I have assignment interview this morning.
I have my codes running well, but unfortunately, some methods can not work during the demo time.. feel so so bad.. nervous.. panicking..
After analyzing it, I found some reasons that have to be noted to my lesson learnts.

1. Make a proper testing before submitting the works.
Actually I was really really sure that I have done the good jobs for this assignment because I have started very early. However, when I tried to draw the class diagram to show the associations between classes, I found out that my class has high dependency since there are many arrows from one class pointing to other classes. This is so irritating, thus I moved some methods to other class. Since I thought the codes have worked, then I didn't really test them out. This is my mistake.. I should be more phobia and did extra checking..

2. Always create and retain some versions of your codes
I always make the versions for every assignment that I have done. Usually I will have something like, AsgnFIT2018, then AsgnFIT2018-edited, then AsgnFIT2018-final. I also did for my Java assignment. I have created each folder for each assignment specification. So I have around 7 folders, named R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,R6xtra. My mistake here is to confidently deleting all the folders except the final folder after I submitted my assignment. I really did not care about the interview since I did all the codes by myself so I will be able to answer every single question (really confident is not a good trait in this case..). I really regret it deleting all of them now, because I could not refer to the again since my previous codes can work well compared to the final codes (only got the association problems..). I really regret it now, I should at least retain them until my mark has been finalized...

3. Always prepare for your interview the night before
The overconfident thing really makes me lazy to prepare all these stuffs.. I had better being more 'phobia' and nervous in facing all these stuffs..

Viwawa

2008-05-26T22:31:00.002+08:00

Recently, I've been addicted with this game.
Viwawa is one of the online web-based games.
It provides many games, but 'Big 2.5' attracted me the most.
Big 2.5 is based on an original card shedding game, Big Two (also known as "Choa Dai Di" in Cantonese, "Da Lao Er" in Mandarin Chinese, "Setsot" in Palembang language.. LOL). I love this game and I used to play this game with my brothers on my hometown.. Suddenly miss them..

This game is really new alternative for me since I have finished all the TV show series, Desperate Housewives season 4, Gossip Girls and CSI NY season 4 :)

Therefire, if you have time, you can go for this game. You surely will love it ;)

Linux Networking

2008-05-24T23:10:00.003+08:00

Finally, can finish networking assignment that took up my 3-weeks-time and made me miss my cousin's wedding party.. So many things have been sacrificed for this assignment. But I did learn a lot things about networking.. especially Linux Networking.

This assignment taught me how to program the router. Frankly speaking, the first time I saw first router was in this networking class.. so pathetic, right?? IT student but saw router the first time on the final semester.. I just knew it that we had to program the router using PC. I thought router is just a router that already had built-in program once they are manufactured. This subject really opens my eyes, networking had a lot interesting things to learn..

I also learned how to configure some services on Linux OS,using Ubuntu 7.10. To get better understanding, I even had Ubuntu installed on my laptop. It's my first time dealing with Linux codes but these stuffs were so interesting.. although I found this Ubuntu made my laptop slower than ever, made me reformat my laptop and made me reboot several time because of it hang almost all the time.. hehe..

By the way, the most stressful thing is when I tried to install OpenVPN on my laptop. It was very hard to make it run.. so many problems I have faced.. But accompanying by some Indonesian-language-blog and some books that I have borrowed from library.. Finally, could get it running ;)

Gearing to Success Stories Talk at Monash

2008-05-10T13:12:00.002+08:00

I just come back from the talk conducted by Monash Alumni.
It's really a good talk, presenting Sen Ze, the author of 'Air Asia Success Story' and some books about making money through Internet.
The guy looks young and knowledgeable. He told us that 'Sen Ze' is not his real name, it's just a name to make his target markets easily remember him. The interesting part is that he knows a lot of things about Internet, although he graduated from Law.
It's really a worthwhile talk to listen, since I am an IT students that might go into the E-commerce field.

There are some issues that I catch from the talk:
1. Our future employers might use search engines ('Google'), networking site ('Facebook') and video site ('Youtube') to find information about us. That's why we need to be careful in writing and doing something. Can you imagine if you get drunk, then your friends record you using camera and put it in the Youtube.. what a shame if your future employees see that.

2. Creating our own website by buying domain name that is associated with our name. He really imposed that our name is our brand and very very important. He told us that 'Sen Ze' is not his real name. He just used it to make his target markets easily remember him. What a good idea he had.. I should also find other names to make people easily remember me.. Oh yeah, he shared another way to make people remember you. When you meet other people, asked him what's his name and 'pretended' that you also have the same name. That is surely leave the impression to other people, since noone forgot their own names.

3. Create a blog that focuses on one field that you expertized. So, when employers see them, they can see your thought and ideas.

4. Use Facebook as the way to sell yourself. Fill your profile page with the contact information and personal details. Then add as many as friends as possible to spread out your network.

Actually, I know the use of blog site and networking site, but I have not thought that those sites will be essential and useful resources for future employers to dig in.

An Empress and the warriors

2008-03-20T21:35:00.002+08:00

Today I and YanDan walked to Pyramid and watched "An Empress and the Warriors" movie, starring Kelly Chen, Leon Lai and Donnie Yen. Usually the 'war' movie is very boring, but this movie is so so different.. maybe that's because the love story that touching me. Although it's Chinese Movie, but it looks like the Western Movie where the technology used looks real.. the view.. the air balloon.. also the white cloth that the empress wears was so so beautiful.. This film is much much more different from jay Chow's film, The curse at the golden flower. That film is so so boring..

However, the end of the story is not really good, cause the empress lost her lover.. He protect an empress with his life.. so so sad ending.. That the end that I really don't like..

Career plan

2008-03-13T15:06:00.003+08:00

Inspiring by my friends' blogs and some of our previous discussion about the career...

Since this is the final semester of our bachelor degree, this topic becomes the hottest topic now and will be in the next few months.

Most of my friends have found out what they want. Most of them are looking for opportunities at Singapore to get experience about the business life there, then planning to have Master degree to get some knowledge, experience and connection that assist them in their working life. That means to get higher position in the company or get better and larger company. After that, with those experiences and salaries, they will start their own business. Finally, when everything is settled, marriage life will be the next level.

How about me? That question always come out of my mind.. I am just a university student that focus more on studying to avoid the 'F' in order to use parent's money wisely. I did not involve in any clubs. I have never take the part-time jobs. So, basically, Sadly, I do not have any working experiences that I can put on my resume to get the extra points from my current employers.
Then, the saddest thing.. Until now, I have not found out yet what kind of job that I really want..
What can an IT-fresh graduate do?
A programmer? I dont think I am good at that field.
A system analyst? I heard that we can not straight away be an analyst, we need to be programmer first before becoming an analyst.
A sales person? Am I good at persuading other people? Can I communicate with them?
Running a business? I really do not know how the business life is..
So confusing..

Blogging again..

2008-03-13T14:52:00.004+08:00

It's the third month in 2008 which means I have abandoned this blog for one and half years.
I was enjoying blogging at Friendster at that time. But now, I just want to find something new by makes the use of my old and first blog.

Blogger has much more improvement since the last time I login. It has more layouts for our blogs. The most improvement is how to login. I think, Blogger now integrated with gmail, so we need to have gmail account to login and to leave the comment to the blog.

Got the Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, Iran and so on..

Happy Wesak Day

2005-05-23T16:03:00.000+08:00

Today is Wesak day.. This is the first time I celebrate it outside my hometown. But, it's so fun.. because my my friends and my family never celebrate with me. I have alreasy told my father to close the shop for only one day, to go to temple and pray together.. but he never heard me... so sad.. hikzz... my frineds also did not want to go to temple.. so lazy they said.. But this year, I have many friends who are Buddhists and very dilligent to go to temple..

Actually, the Wesak celebration started from last night 'The Wesak eve'. We attended the
puja and procession to round the temple three times. It really made me tired... My leg become very weak.. Luckily, I did not back to condo by walking. Two of the kind guys drove us to Sunway.

Today is my experience become the seller. I and some of my frineds helped temple to sell some stuffs like CD, T-shirt and books. I should been there at 8. But really.. I can not wake up. I already set alarm, burt when it on, i just turn it off and back to sleep. I forget that I need to wake up and go earlier to help temple. I think that's because I can not sleep tight... Suddenly, I woke up at 4 in the morning because of the light and sound of the door and I saw that my roommate haven't sleep yet... She was studying at that time.. so dilligent.. I hope she can success on her exam...

Today.. really really tired... by it's so fun.. Although I feel tired physically but I feel good mentally... It's so nice. Only few people bought the books because the books are expensive and I think also because I do not know the contents of those books so I could not give some suggestions or persuade people to buy the books. But got many people but the T-shirts and CD's. That's because my friends are really good in sales... They can give good suggestions to the customer... really make me jealous..

O yeah... I got something interesting besides first experience celebrating Wesak with friends from wesak eve until wesak day and become the seller. I got that famous celebrities like Leonardo Dicaprio, Jennifer Lopex, Keanu Reeves, Jet Li, Daniel Goleman, Richard Gere, Steven Seagal, Harrison Ford, Uma Thurman and Orlando Bloom are "Buddhists". Really surprising.. but that is the fact, the truth... I become more proud to become a Buddhist...

'One Voice' in Buddhist Maha Vihara Kuala Lumpur

2005-05-02T03:18:00.000+08:00

This evening, I went to Buddhist temple in Kuala Lumpur. I think this temple is the biggest and the oldest in KL because it was built in 1895. This temple is very beautiful with the colorful statue of Buddha. Then, also got many people did meditation. They were not only doing it by sitting at the floor, but also by walking slowly. This is very unique, because I have never seen it before. I have ever seen people meditate by sitting, but this is the first time I saw they did by walking slowly and concentrate their steps.

I and two other friends went to this temple by bus which was provided by Subang temple. It is so sad.. only three of us could go. I wonder... why my other friends can not spend their little time to go to temple but still can not go to pyramid althogh they still got many assignments... Phew....
Today, this temple got event where there is a monk named "Venerable Dr. K Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Maha Tera" and the event called "One Voice - a sharing of minds". Frankly speaking, I could not really get what the monk said. There are too many things were talked and also because of the less clearly voice, so I only got some words of it. But there is something that I really like from this event. I like the songs... The songs are really nice to hear... I become very love to Buddhist songs after I heard it. really nice songs... Then also the food.. they're so cute.. so small... and delicious... But the bad thing is the time of the event. It was lasted after 3 hours so I back late this night. It has already long time do not come back late.. and I usually stayed at home at weekend.. but not tonight.. wuah... really tired and sleepy now....

Visiting Lim Kok Wing University

2005-04-28T09:53:00.000+08:00

Today class is short. I and three of my friends went to LimKokWing University, school which is famous for its art and design, by taxi. I went there only to accompany my friends and to see how limkokwing looks like. Before, I only heard about its name, but now I have already seen how it is. It is so wonderful place. The design of the place is very very nice. The people there is very varied, from many different cultures and countries. I could see that there are many international students there. Compared with Sunway, Sunway got lot Indonesian students. I rarely saw Indonesian there. LKW got many black-skin people and few handsome white-skin people.(hehehhe...) I really like the condition of this main hall where is really light with high roof and a little opened at the side of it so natural wind(no air-cond, no spin) can make the hall become the cool place. Moreover, the cafetaria at the side of the hall also got many choice of delicious food and the coffee shop offer the cheaper food and drink. So nice... In addition, the computer lab is very nice, full of 'Apple' computer, and most of them are Mascintosh.. so 'keren'..
I also saw the result design of the students which is very creative. This is really nice place to go if people want to take art and design studies...

This island really kept many beautiful and unforgetable memories.
Langkawi is really nice and beautiful place. This island must be visited if you went to Malaysia.
Going there really take much time...

On March 13th at 10pm, me and other 20 friends gather at the 1st floor of Sunway-Monash Condo. Then taking 5 taxi to Puduraya. Next, we waited for the bus until almost 12 o'clock. After spending almost 7 hours, we arrived at Kuala Perlis, having breakfast and taking ferry to go to Langkawi island.

On March 14th at 10 am, we arrived at hotel. After taking rest for few hours, we rent cars and went to have lunch, saw sea animals in 'underwater', went shopping at duty free, took pictures in the slogan of Langkawi, the big eagle.

The second day at Langkawi, we explored the nature... we visited the island. There is a unique island called 'Pregnant Maiden island'. This island has a shape which looks like a pregnant woman.. so nice lar.... Then we visited the 'Beras Basah beach'. It got smooth sand... so nice...
Then we visited a beach where offered us trip to the mangrove forest, bat cave, legend cave and crocodile cave.

The third day, we went to the cable car. We can see the beautiful view from the upside of the mountain. We can see all the beach there... Then we went to Gunung Raya, the highest mountain in Langkawi island. I also can stand on the peak of the mountain.. Then, we went to Cenang beach. This beach is the most beautiful beach in Langkawi, because it has the biggest wave although not as big as the beach in Bali. It's so romantic when walking at the side of the beach and hold someone loved' hand. Then we went to Tengah beach where we on purpose met 'Jang Dong Gun', Korean artist... a handsome and cute man... at that time, he was taking commercial shoot at the side of the beach.. so surprised.. can meet the famous artist.. so lucky...

The fourth day, we woke up early, then back to Sunway..

This trip is really really memorable.. and unforgetable...
I love it...
So happy....

Genting Highlands

2005-03-19T19:56:00.000+08:00

Genting is the most famous place in Malaysia.
Many people who ever visited Malaysia also ever been Genting, but not me..
I already spent 8 months in Malaysia, but I never been there.
Finally, On March 13 in the morning, I went to Genting with my bf.
Genting is really a nice place. It's so cool... very full of people...
It took long time to get there. First, I need to take taxi to go to Kelana Jaya then took LRT there. Then, I need to take bus to get the cable car. That was weekend time... so it's full of people and need to follow the very long queue... so tired...
After went into the cable car, I can see a beautiful view and fresh air.
When I got into the real Genting.. the Theme Park... wow....
It got a exciting games.. I like the Space shot.. the games wioth the high tower where we sit there and it'll bring us to the peak then it'll drop you down... so excited... I love it... That's the best games that I've ever played.
Beside the theme park, Genting also got place called cassino... But.. that's so pity of me... I can not go in there.. cause I am still 18... so sad..... Only people above 21 can go in...
But overall, Genting is really a god place to visit.
I only spent one day there.. not feel satisfied...
I really want to go there again....

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island wasgoing to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please." "I can't help you", Vanity said, " You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, " Sadness, please let me go with you." Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name.
When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
The Facts of Life:
1. At least 5 people in this world, love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you, in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you, is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you, can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. Without you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique, in your own way.
9. Someone that you don't know even exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned it's back on you, take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner or later will get it.
13. Always remember complements you received, forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them, you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

What is Love???

2005-02-16T21:14:00.000+08:00

If we love someone, we will always pray to him/her although s/he does not beside us.
God give us 2 legs to walk, 2 hands to hold, 2 ears to listen and 2 eyes to see.
But.. why did God only give a piece of heart to us? Because God has already given another
piece of heart to someone for us to look for.That is love...
Do not ever say goodbye if you still want to try.
Do not ever give up if you still feel that you can.
Do not ever say that you don't love him/her again, if you still can not forget him/her
Love will come to people who still have hope, although they are already been disappointed.
To them who still believe although they have been betrayed. To them who still want to love
although they have been disapppointed before and to them who still have courage and belief
to build the faith back.
Do not keep your words of love to the dearest one until he leaves you forever, it will only
make u write those words on his grave.
You better say the love words which are kept on your head at present.
Maybe God want us to meet and love the wrong person before we met the right person, we need to understand how to thank for that grant.
Love can change the bitterness to sweetness, dust to gold, muddy to clear, sickness becomes
healthy, prison become lake, suffering becomes comfort, and furious become mercy.
It is really hurt, loving someone who does not love you, but the most painful is loving
someone and you do not have courage to say your love to her/him.
If you love someone, that's like obatain a rose. sometimes you can smell that fragnant rose,
but sometimes you can feel that its thorn can hurt your finger.
The sad thing in this life is when you meet someone who really meant to you, only to find
that become useless and you must let him/her gone.
Sometimes you can not appreciate the one who really love you until you lost it.
At that moment, there is no need to regret because s/he has already gone without saying anymore. Love the one based on who s/he is now and not because of him/her before. Do not open up old sore points, you need to love him or her as sincerely as possible.
Be careful with love, because it can make healthy become sickness, fat people becomes thin,
mormal becomes abnormal, rich becomes poor, king becomes slave, if the one they loved is an
artificial love.
The possibility is what you love has the badness in it and what you hate has the goodness in
it.
Loving treasure is miserly. loving guys is nature. loving yourself is wisdom. loving death is life. loving God is piety.
Bring the people who in love to the sea, they will bring fish.
Also bring who fail in love to the bread storage, they will be starving.
Love is forever... and the fond memory is the most beautiful thing that we have ever had.
Every people are good in love, but none of them can value the love because love is not an
object which can be seen in plain view, instead, love can only be felt through heart and feeling.
Love can weaken the iron, destroy stone, awaken the death and blow the life to it, and make
slave become leader. This is the great of love.
The real love let the dearest one to become themselves and do not change them to what you
want.
If not, you only love yourself which you'll find from themselvesyou will have ever known that you will fall in love. But, if the time is coming, take it and do not let him/her go with the million questions on her/his heart.
Love is not an easy word to be said, but love is a beautiful and pure gift from God if
people can value its purity.
Love someone is easy, to be loved is also easy. But to be loved by the one who we really
love is very difficult.

MOMENTS IN LIFE

2005-02-15T20:00:00.000+08:00

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one
which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human, and
enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

Please send this message to those people
who mean something to you (I JUST DID);
to those who have touched your life in one way or
another;
to those who make you smile when you really need it;
to those who make you see the
brighter side of things when you are really down;
to those whose friendship you appreciate;
to those who are so meaningful in your life.

Don't count the years--count the memories...........

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away!

Is it good to lie ?

2004-10-15T08:08:00.000+08:00

Basically, lie is not a good deed because it can disadvantage many people. After lie to someone, the frightening will appear. There is frightening if someone will know the truth. Lie can not be saved forever. There will be one day when it can be known.
In some situations, we need to lie. For example, to make someone more believe in themselves, we can tell them that they are smart, dilligent, and have good ability so they can leave their ashamed.
In fact, telling the truth is better than lying. We had better tell the truth to everyone although the truth can let them down.

Love

2004-09-19T22:32:00.000+08:00

Everyone must have ever been in love.Even new-born babies love their mother, teens, and adults must have had deeper love.Love is simple yet people make it complicated.Emotion can ruin your love to others.You have to control your ego, or else you'll end up hurting the ones you love.
Love is just like fire.if you keep it wisely it can make you feel warm,but when you play with it you'll get hurt.Human sometimes forget the love they have.They prefer to start wars and hurt others.It can be avoided when you have a pure love in your heart.Just listen to your heart and you can find out that when you love somebody is better than when you hurt his/her feelings.
Nowadays, Love is just what we need. We're like in the middle of an endless summer with no wind.Love is the wind.When it breezes through us we feel good and relieved.When love blows we will forget our pain.But When we lose it we might be dead.Because it that makes us human

Sunway Lagoon

2004-09-18T20:47:00.000+08:00

Sunway Lagoon is one of the tourists objects in Malaysia. This place is very great and beautiful. There are two kinds of games, dry and wet.
In dry place, we can play game like rollercoaster, the most exciting games and I really like it because I can loudly shout to take out all my boringness and annoyance. Like rollercoaster, there is a big canoe which can go up and go down, I don't know the name in Malaysia, but in Indonesia we call it kora-kora. This makes me shout too but not as loud as the rollercoaster.
In wet place, we can play until our clothes water-soaked. Most of the wet games used swimming tube. I don't know the names of the games, I only played them because they are also nice. Then, the special one from wet place is the swimming pool which looks like beach because of the wave.
There is also a suspension bridge where we can see the view of lagoon from upstairs. But be careful because it is unstable. It can easily swing and you will fell dizzyif you look down.
It was a nice place to go but you will feel very tired after go there because it was very big.

Malacca.....

2004-09-16T23:20:00.000+08:00

Mallacca is one part of Malaysia. It has many historical buildings which are still well taken care by citizens in Malaysia, many museums, many good hospitals and object of interest to tourists.
One of historical buildings is an old church which built in 1753. It looks ancient and pure with the old pictures of Yesus and the rattan chairs. Then, there are many ancient Chinese houses across the church. They offered many kinds of ancient things like porcelain. When I went there, I feel like in the old centuries by looking at those things.
I only visited one museum at that time, Muzium Samudera. It located inside an old ship. From it, I can see how the struggle at Portuguese colonization because there are many pictures and old things like weapon. cannon, and the miniatur of other ship wars.
When I round Malacca, I saw many hospitals and my guide said that the hospitals in Malacca is very good and many people came here olny to cure their deseases.
There are many object of interests at Malacca. First is Auyin Hill. This place is the most interesting place. From outside you can see how tall the main door is because in fact, Auyin Hill was recorded in Malaysia Book Record as the tallest Feng Shui door in Malaysia. This place offered five wells which can bring happiness to people who wash their faces by the water and many unique stones and statues which are believed can bring many lucks to people who through them. Second is the butterflies park. In this place, I can see many kinds of butterflies which fly in the park and hang at the flowers and small branches of trees. The last one is Taman Bunya Melaka where many crocodiles were kept.

Kuala Lumpur City Centre

2004-09-15T11:55:00.000+08:00

The Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) project ranks among the largest real-estate developments in the world. It is really a beautiful place where Twin Tower, the highest building in Malaysia stands.
Although I has been in Malaysia for more than two months, I just visited it with my mother yesterday. It is really amazing place, especially at night when the various colours of lamps and fountains are turned on. The Twin Tower is very beautiful. After visiting it, I found that I am really in Malaysia, a nice place to visit.

Hair-Styles

2004-08-21T01:19:00.000+08:00

Teenagers have many confusing behaviors because they have different ways to express their emotions. One of the way is by changing their appearances like dyeing their hair by various kinds of unusual colours. East people mostly have black hair, but some teens have changed it into brown, red and other colours.
There are two things that affect teenagers who want to dye their hair, friends influence and idol influence. Friends, especially who have given many help, can bring very effective influence.
If they are changing their hair-styles, we as friends will be supported to do the same thing, especially with friends who have given us many help. Then, idol become famous not only from their talents but also their styles from up to down, from hair,clothes,shoes and another jewellery. As fans, we will interest in their styles and try to imitate them . In other words, friends and idols are really giving influence to teens' life styles.
I am also influenced by hair-styles. I am not dyeing my hair, but I cut it into shaggy form. Although this style is not trend for people today, I like it very much.
Changing hair-styles by dyeing hair is not peculiar behavior since the person can keep their personality. All people may dye their hair to show their identity, but they must keep having good conduct to other people.

Media Influence

2004-08-21T01:06:00.000+08:00

There are many media for communication, such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, movie, etc. All of them bring many advantages to human life by giving information, news, knowledge, advertisement and announcement. On the other hand, they can also bring disadvantages like showing violence and amoral action
Media really give big influence to people because people will be supported to do the same thing as it shows from media. Then, alot of people will imitate the style so it becomes trend which spread to all over the world. For example, drama at TV which tells about life so we can get knowledge about this life, namely how to face the problems and how to solve them. Moreover, we can be supported by actors and actresses who act at the TV to imitate their styles, like hair model to seem the same style as them.
It doesn't matter if the styles can suit for them. They can be looked more modern, trendy and funky. If the styles can not suit them, they will be looked as peculiar people. Then, it is very bad if the styles can change their personality and identity, so they become different people or unexpected people.

Purpose in life

2004-08-21T00:29:00.000+08:00

Everyone must have purpose in life because that can make their life meaningful and useful for themselves or someone else. Having no purpose in life is really awful and pathetic. This life will be boring if we do not do anything which can make our life more wonderful, fantastic and meaningful.
I have one mean purpose in life, namely, I want to get happiness by making happy all people I love, especially my parents. They have given me life, all my needs and all things that I really want, like studying abroad. They have educated me into the good girl like I am now. They have really given me the best so I want to thank them by making them happy by doing all their instructions and advices. Then, in one day, if I were someone who can earn money by myself, I would buy all things that they really want.
To reach my purpose, I must use efficiently all my time to do good and useful works like getting to know what my capability is and trying to improve it as far as I can and as good as I can. In addition, I will also try my best to do all things that I really want.
There are some people seemed to do very little in their time. They only let the time goes by and wait for the time when they will die. They do not think that this life can be more colorful and useful if we use time as efficient as we can. Time can't be replayed so we must creatively using the limited time to do anything which will be our purpose in life.
Finally, the purpose in life has the same meaning as the goal in life which means the aim from our life, our way to make better condition than past , try to get the points from all of your activities to support your life.
