I've been in this company for what now? 4 years, more I think, I found my old contract document, and it stated March 24th, 2002. 4 Years, 1 month, and 2 days now. I never imagine I’ve stayed this long here and I've experienced many things, both Good, bad, and even worst.
And after all those time, I'm quitting. Beginning next month, I'll be in a new place starting fresh and anew.
It really feels strange to me. As the day got closer to my last days. I mean, all those years, this place felt like home to me. I put a lot of my reference book here, my toys, things that I couldn't even place properly at home. This place is as close as a family to me. I had fun in this place, yet, I feel empty as well, and that feeling become unbearable after seeing all my friends come and goes.
Still it's hard for me to leave this place
Then, nevertheless, I leave it all... why?
Because what I want to achieve need some other experience that I'm being offered to, that offer is a chance to obtain even better future (hopefully) for me. I Pray that my 'calculated gamble' here paid off and I'll have what I'm looking for all this time
Like most of my friend knew, I went back to Surabaya last weekend,
since it's Good Friday last week and so it's long weekend for most
people.
I found this thing sitting alone in a shelf on one of the store
there. It's a magnetic art, distributed as a trading arts, just like
gachapons/ Trading Cards, as in, you don't get to pick the insides,
it's all random.
The box itself is a replica of the original Super Mario Bros Famicom
Cart. Same artwork, different background and the '2' on the corner
that probably shows the series number. What I got its very simple, so
simple I wonder how justified the Rp. 52.000,- price tag. It's a
diorama of Mario and bullet Bills, a replica to be exact, of the game
screen. For most fans, or whoever played this game before, it brings
a sense of nostalgia to me.
I heard there's a lot of this kind of things in Japan. I wonder if
I'm able to pre-order these things...
Recently, all the game I played in my DS is not Megaman Battle
Network, NOT the uber cool Metroid Prime: Hunter, or even the ever
popular Tetris DS!
The game I played everyday is the 'game' Brain Age: Train Your Brain
a Minute a Day (yes the title is that long). It's not a game per se.
It's an application, designed to actually, literally train your
brain. It gave you a series of training program, and keep track of
the changes of your brain activities. Sounds boring rite? it's not,
believe me. It's not. It's actually pretty cool, and it's not a
'game' that designer to be playe more than 15 minutes each day. So
you keep going back for more.
Now, in the end of the training, the 'game' will give you a series of
test to determine how old is your brain, in terms of its activities.
Today, in attempt of some lame ingame joke, the 'game' told me that
my brain age is 7-freakin'-4!!!! After that it changed it to the
correct number which is 24, but seriously, 74? Geez!!!
Any one who've seen X-Men would probably notice, cyclops's cool
sunglasses. That glasses is not the technologically rare design that
Prof. X made. It actually came from Oakley's Sunglasses Line.
Do you know how much that actually cost? a whopping 400 USD!!! and a
friend of mine have one, which I promptly borrow and pose right here :D
It's actually a really cool glasses. Very lightweight. and the lens
in itself is a very good quality both for use and durability (I once
saw a test movie from oakley, and their lens it's actually bullet
proof and close-to-none light bias)
My friend told me that his lens, pictured here, it's the second
version of the same line (ruby), the original ones have a more
reddish tone to it and very VERY rare.
I caught V for Vendetta yesterday. And boy, it is really good! And
somehow, inspiring :D. It's based on a comic with the same name from
Alan Moore. You know, from the creator of League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen. Also published by DC - Vertigo. Alas, the latter movie was
a dreadful attempt to translate. But I'll recommend V to everyone,
should they ask for my opinion of it :D
Anyhow, I managed to finish TR-1 Advanced Hazel too. Heh, my bro did
something very stupid and I needed to get some steam off me and what
better way to calm myself by building Gundams :D
Let me tell you about this particular MS story. It's never appear ini
any of the Gundam anime (yet). It came first as a background story
for a GM Quel modification, and later evolve to a background story
about the story of Titans Test Team. A team that responsible to test
a prototype MS for Titans.
This MS later would evolve to what all Gundam Fans know as Gundam MKII
Yesterday was a bit of a disappointing day. Even though I did have
fun in the end, but it's practically ruin my weekends' plan!!! and it
all because of HIS mistake!!!!
YEAH YOU!!! YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!! (lol)
I'm okay now... really :D
The thing is, I had plan to go to Ancol together with some friends of
mine during the weekends but there were some complications, and long
story short, they all went there yesterday leaving me with my
incredibly-sucky-job-since-all-the-others-went-without-me :(
We did get together later that night and ACTUALLY have fun, two of
them two be exact.
First one is stuffing our poor empty stomach with Seafood (shells,
crabs, fried fish, and barbecued fish, you know, the standard fare)
Second one is singing to the top of our lungs. God, it's been so long
since I did that. Lol
We all ended up drain all our energy for the day. I hit the sack
almost immediately when I got home, I'm pretty sure the others did
the same thing. There's should be some photo made during the singing
but I haven't stea... ahum, obtain it just yet.
I hope I can go to a karaoke together like this again sometime in the
near future and with some particular person too
In the mean time, I should figure out what I can actually do on the
weekends...
Later that night, we have our dinner at Fish & Co, also at Taman
Aggrek Mall. It’s a restaurant that specializes in Seafood. We
ordered some food, shared some laugh, and share the food together: D.
One thing about the taste though. I think seafood is always taste
batter somewhere else small rather than in some big mall. Seriously.
I love the French fries though, but the seafood itself? Only So-so
but it’s fun when you ordered the platter for two (which basically
meant for 4 person) and ate it at the same time.
The platter for F...two!
Guys, I know there's a cute girl in the picture, but can we please focus on the food now? Thank You! :D
The causalities of 'war' :D wait, I think I took the prawn after this photo was taken
