Got bad news, my (or ours, remembering that I'm not graduating alone) graduation date is delayed. This one is really disturbing me. This is the 2nd re-scheduling upon our graduation, they don't seemed to be serious about this whole thing. Even that now I'm having my first check, things like this surely bothers me a lot. Well, at first it feels great when I received a note from my bank that I've been paid for some amount of dough, scream I did, hopping around I did, we even spent the time last night at Nagoya with a little feast of course. Those happy hour didn't last long when our mind get back to the re-scheduling matter. Don't like this.
Well now I guess I should leave my worries alone, coz life is just goes on.
Uh .. oh ..
I feel good.
Ha !
I really feel good this morning, knowing that I'm going to do some time with my work in the office. Yup, got to catch some deadline. Sure it feels great to be busy for something you know what the mean is. Feels great to know what your time spent for. Like today, got some lesson for all of those. I'm thinking of sharing it with you all, one day later.
A news, don't know if this is a bad one or a good one.
My graduation will take place at 9th, yup the campus has just re-scheduling the date into some more-proper-they-think. Don't feel happy to hear it. So, if I've heard this one when I already decided that I am not going to take part in the graduation ceremony, then this one is a good news (even if it's actually doesn't affecting me) -- and vice versa.
But this part surely determine my way of thinking, because sometimes my head still thingking about those who still waiting for me, or the graduation it self as a moment of completing the circle for me.
What a day.
Yesterday was a whack!
I spent 14 hrs in the office, starting at 7.30 a.m until 22.10 p.m. Yeah, sure I had a lot of thing to do in the office, some deadline to catch, tasks to be done, people to contact, blog to be filled : p
But I'm not complaining for yesterday's work since it's something I've been missing all this time. You know the feeling that grows inside of you when you can't solve a problem, that feel of curios was urging from inside of me and it keep me unaware neither of time nor hunger : p
Hey, I still got my dinner, though : )
But my laundry weren't very concern about my fatigue, did them just after do some house cleaning. But this tired-feeling really helps me to take some good sleep.
So today is a fresh day, for me. I woke up early in the morning for some exercises and a 'one-man-show' concert with my guitar (I think I helped the neighborhood to woke up :D )
So here I am, back to my desk and doing all my works (again).
It does feel great.
Ha !
Last weekend (Saturday) sure ended up with something great. Okay that we didn't go to that shrimp reaping. But we did something else, that I think is better, and that was to use the CT Band's studio for practice, that ended up with me as their lead vocal. Yeah !!!
The great thing about it is that the band was playing old song, well most of it, and I'm just a perfect person to be the "Mr.Know-it-all". "Temple of The King", "Sailing", "Old Cotton Field", "Hey Jude" those are some of my favorites.
Sunday morning up with a lark ...
Yup, the things in the church was something. Imagine this, there was absolutely nothing left in my wallet. I was hoping that I can borrow some money from my friends (hey what friends are for, anyway?!) But luckly there's a Feast after the sermon. I did fill my stomach pretty well. It didn't stop there, Mr.Heri took me to his place, we watched the F1 race (I already told everybody that Barichello gonna win the race berfore the race start, darn! I wish I can lay my hand on that gambling table). The great thing is that while we're watching the race, we can do that 'eat-all-you-can' for anything inside his kitchen. Wahoo! Did eat some 'Kartika-Sari' and Chips and instant Noodlles.
Okay. That Sunday morning ends up as the sun was set.
I was being left alone in the house again (see, this thing is gonna be a habit in the house). Just had one nice fried-rice for dinner.
I tried to do some sms during the night, but that XL cell-operators sure pissing me off. Seems like there always be a trouble with their server, or something.
Hey, two days without any cooking really fun. No dirty dishes, no spilled oil, so hot pan, no leftovers. Can we make it like this all the time?
Is this going to be a habit?
Just like the other weekends I had before, right now I'm sitting in front of my office desk, typing this. Yup, I sure ended up being in the office again ^_^'
Well, time sure flies - so fast. I don't know if my mind has become numb, but I just realized I never had other things to do beside the routines. Get up in the morning just to take some quick shower (don't mention about breakfast) and catch up some bus to the office. Spend most of my day time in the office, work .. work .. work .. Usually I stayed in the office till late in the evening, around 7 p.m. before I head for home. Night time at house really something that I do want to avoid, imagine, this is the time when I scratching for food and try to forget the rest of the world by laying my head on my bed.
If this is going to be a habit. Well, you might found my blog filled with the same ol'stuff repeating themselves again and again. Aagh... don't wanna be like that.
Better plan some action for Sunday.
Eh, if I'm not wrong .. someone asked us to join some shrimp-reaping tonight, uh.. better check it out.
*Can't wait for my way back to campus, I have a graduation ceremony to attend at Oct' 9th*
Bust-A-Groove
Ha!
I've just got for myself Kitty N's Bust-A-Groove Theme Single.
Do you know what Bust-A-Groove is? It's a PlayStation (not PS2) Game, a dance game that differs from the-well-known DDR.
If you never play it, better try it right now.
The great thing about it is, I just L O V E Kitty N (You don't want that Hiro's "I L O V E M E" thing for sure). She's so active and cute of course, that's why my eyes would never have any problem to stare at my TV for hours playing her as my heroine. The song keeps reminding me of her : )
See ... I'm dancing over here, baby !
Ye ee ee haaa !!
Yuck !
Another night passed with tremendous experience ... last night we cook .. yeah we cook our own meal. Well, the rations we had from the nights before ... I can't say those were some proper meal (fried egg for dinner, instant noodle for dinner, some rice seasoned with salt only for dinner). This new living thing sure getting tough day by day. We never had a proper meal before since we were too busy saving some money for next month expenditures, but gladly none has been hurt in this long process : p
But last night, we had fish for dinner, yup a deep fried fish (that was all we can do, considering all the kitchen utensils we have at home). Ju bought a half-kilo of those-looks-like-sardines, and since he's the one that bought it ... I took the turn to clean the fishes. So, I did it, I did it just like the way I usually do it. Then I fried some of it, before I leave the rest to be taken over by J-Ko.
Something bad was being reported to me, the fish guts (the one that I pulled out from the fish) is still reside in our dust bin, inside the house, and since today's humidity and temperature is very high ... resulting a-stinkin'-house !
Monday(20/09)
Woke up really late today. We had a long night last night, stayed up till 2.30 AM did some story-telling with Rob and Ju.
I feel bit disappointed because we didn't do the election. Yeah, we lost our chance since we are considered as 'immigrants' which requires some bureaucracy to gain the access to elect. Darn with those bureaucracy! Why couldn't they just gave us the spare election form. Aagh...
I did some house cleaning activities to calm down my senses.
Remembered that bag of mine. Washed it up.
Basketball, yup, another physicall exercise for me. Played basketball at CIR with Rob and Ju and G-Ta and A-seng and Kiki. I started pretty awful, I guess, but just when I reached my top performance -- I got injured. These feet are peeled (ouch!) since I played without shoes or anything. I ended up looked like a moron in the field, can't do nothing, can't move good enough.
Shit, the electricity went out.
It was totally dark at our house, and we were just stupid enough to forgot to brought some candles with us : p
Guessed we had nothing better to do at home, so we decided to go to town. Yup, we headed to Nagoya (that name makes me think that it was in Japan, that sort'a-thing).
This night-life in Batam surely tempting. But for a guy like me, those were just a sight-seeing : p.
Wasn't something that good-to-tell enough, though. So we just had some meal (quite expensive, extracted the biggest note in my wallet).
Sunday (19/09)
Well, I woke up really late this morning. Hey, it has nothing to do with that 'hangin'-out-on-a-Saturday-Night' thing! We cancelled it. Bit disappointed there, but, ah well just forget about it.
There is one thing that worries me all the time about our house (especially my .. eh, our room). It's the humidity. Since Batam is a very hot plain at daytime, and we leave our house tightly closed that even a mosquito won't be able to slipped out, you can imagine how high the temperature inside (darn I wish we had a better air circulation system). The result is ... fungus. Yeah, I just realize that the humidity grows fungus at the base of my backpack. Got to clean that favorite bag of mine then. One thing to do ... tomorrow :p .
Hey, I did some physicall exercise today. Badminton. Just need some sweat flowing out from my system. Feels great now :) .
Another great thing just hit me on the face!
Rob brought home some 'Pempek' for snack :)
His old-man came from Palembang, and that was how that 'Pempek' came around.
I served it well ! Yeah, a deep-fried one hits the stomach for sure.
But this Sunday Night was another lonesome tonight for me.
Ju went for his part-time-giving-lesson thing. Rob was hanging out with his old-man and his big bro to town. Darn.
Well, just hope tomorrow will be a great day for me.
FYI : Tomorrow is General Election Day !
I do already have my own choice for president, don't give a fuck with what others say, though.
2nd Weekend
Ha!
It's my 2nd weekend in Batam, still no changes in day-time activities:
- Go to the office (previously mentioned, late).
- Do some browsing and post some for my blog.
- Connect my self to someone out there, 'been looking for me, even mizz me'.
- Something different for today is "No Lunch"
Well I hope some of my plan would go for a big time.
- Rob has been asking me to hang out with him tonight (it's Saturday Night tonight!), of course that would be added by the presence of some 'opposite-sex' members.
- I need some cash (that's a bad news, but a plan must be carried out), don't know where to withdrawl.
The worst case that might come up is: I got stuck at home, spending my 'so-long-Saturday-Night' time busting those damn mosqitoes

What a day ...
Just got a terrible start for a day.
Early in the early, I found that I was just too tired to wake up, and it ended up with me woke up late.
Next thing, I felt like I'm the only one that has the intention to go to work today, So just wait for the other guys to finished with their 'busy-ness'. Found my walkman in a bad condition, darn I like that walkman. Well, I'm just a regular guy that would easily get pissed off when any of my properties 'cripple-ed' by anyone beside me.
That's not all. Since we left the house in the most inappropriate time, we arrived late ... the security guard already locked the registration hall...there goes my lunch.
Really hope nothing worse comes.

My Work
Hey, look what I've got for my first day!
A safety shoes, well not a very fancy one, but it reminds me with the one that Squall wore. You can see it clearly at the Opening of Final Fantasy VIII, just a couple of secs before he strike Seifer back.
Ha..ha! Cool ...
Well, lots of other things that I acquired here, Barcode ID + uniform. Make me feel comfortable to roaming around the plant-site, though. Some great news is that the company allow us to wear jeans at work. That Rocks! (Well, since I only got 1 'official' trousers and 3 pairs of jeans, that policy helps me a lot) :p
- Darn I forgot to bring my jacket with me, this room is dedicated for servers machine ... can't stand the air con. Brrhrr...
New Living
Ha!
I'm starting a new living here.
Being employed as a programmer ... what do you think about that?
The work is fine, sometimes it consume my time and effort but some other times it makes me feel dull just because I've got nothing to do at all :p
Well, the major thing is now I live far away now from my home (that also means I live far away from my 'gadgets'). You can even call it that I'm setting up 'my own home' at this present time. I think having two homes can be a relieve for some circumstances unless you don't think like you need it anyways.
