It's official now, my sister in-law is PREGNANT!! The loveable old me will (if all goes well) be an uncle next year, in July or August at the very least.
I mean, by age and family I already am an uncle...but so soon??? :P
Anyway, congrats to my bro and his wife, I wish them all the best!!!
A past few days, I've been wondering...
each time I felt something or under a certain situation where a music is playing in the background. That music, represent what I'm feeling/ the situation I'm in, about 70% of the time. It's like in the movies, where you see the character on screen having a distraught and a matching music is playing? It's the same thing!!
It scared me for abit. LIke just now, when I suddenly miss a certain someone so much, suddenly the radio that I left on is playing The Moffats - Miss You Like Crazy.
I know it's cheesy (and I'm NOT a moffats fan) but that music really really represent what I really feels...
aah... life is so strange.....
... WORK! Dammit, this project is taking much more toll than I though. It made my previous work a piece of cake compared to this.
But under this darkness of work, I manage to find some light. Because I actually looking foward to see this project take off and gain something from it :D
Some of the circumstances that happens at work is probably my fault too, so I'm working so hard to compensate for it, and find something to fill the hole in the project.
Btw, did anyone notice that Superman Returns already played in the Theatre!? I'm going to watch it tonight, as I think it'll be a memorable experience :)
So, I finally in a new place, already for a month btw.
Everything is new for me here, new friends, and new job, and new assignments. And I’m thrilled to be here.
My new office is called Pt. Antar Mira Prakarsa, or better known as M-Stars. Originally, they are a content aggregator, a mobile content Provider actually, and they’re apparently one of the biggest in Indonesia, but lately, they found it interesting to enter a new venture of online PC game. Now, they are currently working together with this company from a local film industry (don’t ask ;) ) to do an online game. Now, that’s where I come in.
My work not starts from 9 to 6, so I get to wake up really late but the thing is, I have to wear this nice clothes, each time I go to work. What can I say, I’m the Game Development Project Manager. It comes with the territory. Still, It kinda choke me on the neck :P
Now hopefully it goes well, because this is all new for me and after a month, I’ve known many new people to add to my network of friends.
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!!!
