#319 : The Ghost – Book Review January 29, 2009
Posted by creandivity in Books Review.add a comment
The Ghost – Robert Harris
Buku ini berkisah tentang tokoh ‘Aku’ yang menjadi penulis bayangan otobiografi orang-orang terkenal. Autobiografi sejatinya merupakan biografi yang ditulis sendiri oleh tokoh-nya, namun belum tentu semua orang yang memiliki berbagai pengalaman menarik itu mampu menuangkan dengan baik di atas kertas.. Maka profesi penulis bayangan ini mutlak dibutuhkan untuk menghadirkan tulisan yang lebih ‘berbumbu’ dan ‘berkualitas’. Penulis bayangan ini seringkali disebut dengan ‘Ghost’ di dunia perbukuan.
Setelah selama ini hanya ‘menuliskan’ otobiografi artis2, kali ini sang Ghost diminta untuk menuliskan biografi dari Adam Lang, seorang mantan Perdana Menteri Inggris yang cukup terkenal. Bahkan, untuk kepentingan itu, Lang dan keluarga nya serta sang penulis diundang ke sbuah resort oleh pemilik hak terbit biografinya dengan tujuan untuk memaksimalkan proses penulisan buku ini tanpa gangguan siapapun. Sebenarnya Ghost bukanlah penulis pertama biografi ini. Mike McAra, teman dekat Lang lah yang diminta untuk menulis. Namun, dirinya ditemukan tewas saat menaiki kapal ferry dan diduga dia mabuk sehingga terjatuh dari kapal dan tenggelam.
Ketika proses wawancara dan penulisan akan dimulai, Lang ternyata dalam posisi ‘under-pressured’ karena operasi Tempest, di mana Lang dikatakan memindahkan tawanan perang dari Eropa Timur untuk diinterogasi paksa, tapi tawanan2 itu akhirnya tewas. Hal ini menimbulkan kontroversi bagi dunia dan membuat Lang dilaporkan ke mahkamah internasional oleh mantan menterinya sendiri, sebagai penjahat perang. Apakah Lang memang seperti yang dituduhkan tersebut ?
Dalam buku ini, tidak hanya kisah Lang saja yang menarik, namun ada tokoh2 lain seperti Amelia Bly, sang sekretaris serta Ruth Lang, istri Adam Lang. Kedua wanita ini mampu menghadirkan warna-warna yang berbeda sehingga novel ini tidak terlihat seperti novel politik saja.Keduanya sama cerdas, dan memiliki hubungan istimewa dengan sang Perdana Menteri. Bahkan dikatakan di bagian awal oleh Adam Lang bahwa dirinya pertama kali memasuki bidang politik karena ingin mengejar Ruth.. apakah semua cerita itu benar ?
di bagian akhir-akhir dari novel ini, ketika semua cerita mulai terungkap kebenarannya, akan ada banyak sekali fakta-fakta yang cukup mengejutkan yang menarik. Bahwa kita tidak bisa memandang seseorang dari penampilan luarnya, namun seringkali dalangnya adalah seseorang yang berpenampilan biasa-biasa saja, tp sangat menentukan.
Buku ini memang tidak memiliki teka-teki menarik seperti buku-buku Dan Brown, tapi tetap menghadirkan sisi-sisi fiktif yang menarik dari suatu hal yang belum diketahui, sampai bisa terbongkar pada akhirnya. dan dari buku ini, kita dapat mengetahui bahwa belum tentu apa yang disampaikan dalam biografi itu adalah benar apa adanya, karena sama seperti menulis buku, bumbu-bumbu kehidupan berhak diceritakan ’sesuai bahasa penulis’ nya tanpa harus benar2 100% fakta seperti jika kita menulis berita. Bukan tidak mungkin lagi bahwa biografi itu pun sebenarnya ditulis oleh orang lain, si Penulis Bayangan.

#317 : Chun Jie Kuai Le.. January 26, 2009
Posted by creandivity in Daily Life.add a comment
yaah pertama2 pengen ngucapin Chun Jie Kuai Le.. ini kurang lebih arti ne sama dengan happy chinese new year.. yaa Chun Tian itu kan arti harafiah e musim semi di Chinese sana.. nah, dulu itu, taun baru itu identik dengan awal musim seminya, jadi bener e di China situ, ada jg org blg Chun Jie Kuai Le.. nah tp kalo disamakan dengan taun baru ya Xin Nian Kuai Le jg bole lah.. jadi sama saja sih.. cuma kalo di CHinese sana kayaknya lebih make Chun Jie (menurut buku les mandarin saya maksd e .. hehe.. dari Bei Jing sih)..
nah sekarang karena ak belom nulis dr tgl 24, jadi mari kita sedikit flash back ^^..
sabtu : ak ketemu ma client Cadenza.. hmm awal e jam 9 sih ketemuan e, trus diundur jadi jam 11.. lmyn lo.. ak jadi sempet bikin form2 baru untuk ditunjukno masio belum fungsional.. tp kalo client ngliat progress, itu penting artie bwat mereka.. mgkn memang belum jadi.. tp dengan progress, mereka paling ngga relieved lah kalo pesanan mereka sedang dikerjakan toh.. haha.. yah cukup lama kita diskusi2 gt.. abis gt, ak pigi maen ma temen2 di depan skul.. tp cuma 1 game aja. soal e ak dtg e telat.. habis gt sorene, ak memulai ‘hobi lama’ ku, yaitu bermain Pokemon.. wkakakakka.. skrg maen e ya pokemon DIamond la.. taun lalu Juni gt ak maen sih.. trus setelah 1 semester tidak tersentuh, (NDS nya aja jarang tersentuh.. dan kalo kesentuh ya pasti maen game2 ringan2) ak nda tau ini game e wes sampe mana, harus ke mana.. tp akhir e mari baca walkthrough e ya kurang lebih aku tau lah.. tujuan berikut e Icicle Badge.. tp dua hari ini ak banyak ngevolve + leveling pokemon ku aja.. *bagi yang nda ngerti pokemon, boleh diskip ^^..charmander ku jadi charizard (lev 24->41).. riolu ku dah jadi lucario dari 24-42.. trus jg berhasl ngubah budew ku jadi rosalia.. dari dulu pengen banget dapetin pokemon bunga ini.. abis lucu se ^^.. abis gt ya naekin Gengar, Machamp.. hehe..
Minggu : pagi ne fitness bentar.. abis gt pg GM.. ‘ngdate’ mbe adik ku.. hahahaha.. yah sekalian nganterin barang bwat spp ku sih.. di GM mau beli buku biografi ne Michael Phelps itu lo.. di Periplus.. lmyn la ada disc 10%.. bagi buku impor, disc segini aja dah lumyan.. hehe.. kenapa Michael Phelps ? ya pengen baca ae gmn sih peraih 8 medali emas dalam 1 Olimpiade dan total 16 emas dari 3 Olimpiade yang jg jadi rekor dunia terbanyak.. denger2 nih ya, dulu pas baca di detik.com, kebutuhan kalori e dee itu 6000 kalori, 3x lipat kalori e org normal.. jadi makan e itu kata e sih sekali makan ya 2 loyang pizza yang mmg bahan2 e dah ditentuin.. hoho.. abis gt, minum2 bentar di Excelso.. ak minum SUmmer Splash.. yah lumyan la.. bahan e campuran kabeh berry, entah strawberry, raspberry, blueberry.. tp bukan blackberry.. hahaha.. enak seh.. mahal tp e T_T.. thx to mandiri card.. hohoho..
sore ne, pg ke Klenteng.. trus maleme pg makan di Grand Ocean ma kluarga e spp yang taun ini ngrayain taun baru di Surabaya.. nah, biasanya sih , rutinitas di keluargaku itu, hari imlek-1 itu malame pasti makan di rumah dewe.. masak2.. beli2 makanan dikit.. trus malem e baru ke klenteng..tp karena kemarin ada dulur, yaa perubahan rencana deh hehe.. dah gt, kemarin pas ke klenteng, hujan lagi T_T.. o ya, ada bule jg lo kemarin.. yg ngliat2 di klenteng it hehe..
o ya, kemarin habis makan di grand ocean sempat dapet pengalaman yang g ngenakin jg.. kan kita parkir vallet tuh.. nah pas mobil kita dah diambilin, tiba2 baru keluar dah dipanggil ma polisi.. yah kita kan nda ngrasa salah toh.. tp inti ne polisi itu ngliat mobil kita baru ae salah potong jalan.. swt kan.. papa ku dah jelasin kalo yang barusan bawa itu petugas vallet e.. tp polisi e g mau tau.. dee blg ‘Pokok nya saya tadi liat mobil ini..’ swt toh.. ws gt nada e sok lagi ‘Polisi berhak menentukan … ‘ * mboh nda ndenger sisa e ngomong opo.. sumpah pol swt.. dan salah e juga kita mandeg e nda di depan e Grand Ocean persis.. jadi g isa komplain langsung ke Petugas Vallet e.. la polisi ne mau dipangglin petugas e blg g mau.. *yah kalo dipanggilin, pasti g dapet duit lah.. iya kan ? .. yah wes akhir e kita bayar duit yang warna e biru dan terdiri dari 5 digit itu.. habis gt, papa ku sih g langsung pulang,tp komplain dulu ke vallet e grand ocean.. haha.. yah kita nda minta ganti rugi.. tp yah tetep harus dibilangin kan spy kejadian gn ga terjadi..yang papa ku g suka, polisi ne itu mbentak2.. mulut e g tau sekolah bee..
tp memang kok.. polisi e itu rada g tau sopan santun.. yah mungkin sih g ada pelajaran etika waktu belajar kali ya.. apa2 disiplin, suara keras, le g keras dianggep banci bee.. maka e jadi e ya santap2an di IPDN gt.. yah mari kita bicara fair2an saja.. mmg nyatanya polisinya sok gaya.. sok nda ngerti vallet itu apa eh.. berarti memang dodol ya kan ? ak g njelek2in.. tp memang kenyataan e gt kok… polisi Indonesia ini dah terlalu identik dengan uang.. beneran nih.. apakah pembaca setuju ? karena mmg polisi *yang di jalan terutama* akrab mbe tilang menilang dan tilang = uang yang sebagian kecil masuk negara, sebagian besar masuk kantong dw ya kan.. yah bener e g cuma polisi, kabeh birokrasi bee gt yah.. ya memang dah mendarah daging eh.. bukan mendarah daging maneh, wes mendarah buyut pisan bee.. nancep di DNA e .. jadi e kalo nemu salah e orang itu, bukan e blg baek2, tp mbentak *ben ketokan e kereng, ujung2 e minta duit.. cuih..
tp karena hari ini hari bahagia, ya g usah dibahas lagi lah..
hari Senin : hari ini seperti biasa, pagi2, telpon semua dulur di Tarakan.. hehe.. sesi ini kira2 setgh jam lbh lah.. habis gt pg sarapan.. trus pg ke rumah sdr2 ampe jam set 12.. habis gt makan siang di rumah dw.. hmm, trus jam 1 lebih gt ada tamu e papa sih.. jam 3 an pg lagi ke rumah cece ne mama.. jam 4-5 ada tamu di rumah ^^.. bis gt makan malem, trus da tamu lagi deh td.. heheheh.. yah ckup rame la.. sekali setaun ya kan. hehe..
*jek mendongkol dengan polisi kemarin >.<

ya ya.. 3 hari ini isine males tok.. hohoho.. nyaris nda ada kemajuan bwat program Cadenza ku.. apalagi 2 hari ini.. wew.. rabu kemarin seh berhasil nyelesaiin modul Audisi.. tp bayangin aj nih, dari target awal hari Senin selesai, ampe molor 2 hari.. wew.. dan ampe hari ini, baru berhasil ndesain form bwat modul pendaftaran nya.. karena modul ini berhubungan ama ambil mengambil jadwal, maka jadi ribet deh.. well, yah, kalo bwat program yang ‘asli’ alias bener2 dipake, database e yah pasti ribet lah.. karena software Office Automation (OA) ini harus terbukti meningkatkan produktivitas daripada pake kertas kan.. jadi kalo g lebih canggih dari sistem manual, ngapain pindah ke sistem komputer.. dan semua yang canggih2 itu dalam OA identik dengan auto2 an kabeh.. duh duh.. saya benar2 ‘benci’ programming kalo dah gn.. haha.. dan mmg sih saya jg g suka programming too much.. aneh yo kok isa2 ne masuk informatika le gt yah.. wew.. yaah saya positive thinking saja lah.. dunia IT begitu luas, kalo nda suka programming ya cari bidang laen yang masih sejurusan IT kan gpp ^^.. tp sbg orang profesional (wus), kalo dah berani ambil job, berarti berani menyelesaikan dengan segala resikonya dunk.. yah saya jg pasti akan berusaha semaksimal mgkn nyelesaiin program ini..
kemarin nge ghost L3.. cuma kurang 4 hard disk dari 39.. yg 3 memang disimpen sek soal e mau nyoba nge ghost pake LAN.. yang 1 nya kemarin pas mau diclone, malah nge hang an, jadi dipending sek..
err, bbrp hari ini ak tiba2 jadi tuli akan jam weker.. yg membuat strategi bangun pagi ku gagal total.. maka, sudah saatnya kita kembali ke pola lama yang ‘menghancurkan’ tubuh, yaitu tidur mpe malem, ampe kerjaan selesai baru tidur wes.. hehe.. masio g sehat, tp resiko relatif kecil.. hal ini karena mepet deadline sih.. kalo nda mepet seh, kalo ketiduran kan gpp.. yah, drpd ak kebangun dengan perasaan bersalah karena g isa bangun pagi + g isa kerja, mending ak bangun dengan badan capek la, tp ak tau kerjaan ku wes mari malem e..
aduh liburan gn krasa sepi lo.. kesepian nih.. wkakakakkaka..
o ya, hari ini ada pertunjukan Barongsai di iSTTS.. kayak nya baru pertama kali ini de ^^ moga2 membawa keberuntungan bagi kita semua.. wkakakak..
ngom2, liburan ku kok wes mau habis gn (padahal ak ngrasa liburan ku wes habis scr de jure ya pas pulang dari Tarakan itu.. lah habis gt jaga lab melulu).. dan ak nda merasa ada perubahan dalam diri ku selama Januari ini.. well, okaylah, ak dah g semales dulu sih.. lebih rajin dikit, paling cuma 10% aja..tau2 Januari e wes mau habis.. grrr.. sebentar lagi valentine oi.. taun lalu valentine e maen dota.. wkakaka.. parah2.. tp taun ini kyk e mau pg mbe temen2 SMA ae wes.. drpd sepi2.. tp jatuh e hari Sabtu euy.. ruame soro nti lak an..
o y, sekedar sharing aja nih, bukan alibi pembelaan diri.. programming itu kok akeh2 e mood2an ya.. well, gn, di dunia programming kan kyk e g pakem2 amat.. semua tergantung kreasi programmer.. bahkan kalo g da system analyst (seperti yg terjadi ma ak dan kelompok ku), maka programmer jg turut ‘mengira-ngira’ kebutuhan customer.. itu lah yang bikin tambah susah menurut ku.. bayangin aja, seharian kemarin ak mikir2 hal2 yang berhubungan ma tampilan e, trus bayangin case2 khusus, misalkan gn yak apa, misalkan gt yak apa.. jadinya yah kayak seniman la.. langkah awalnya susah banget.. wakkaka.. jadi sapa bilang programmer itu cuma masalah teknis aja.. nda jg.. masalah teknis yang ‘nyeni’ ini.. yah mmg yah, kalo bener2 programmer, pasti relatif lebih mudah, ibarat e tinggal mbwat apa yang diminta System ANalyst e, g usah mikir2 le gn gmn, le gt gmn kan.. yah tp kalo pun mood2an, dan saya selama ini pun benar2 mood2an, kalo nda mood ya mending tidur ^^, maka yang harus dipikirin adalah bagaimana cara menjaga mood itu selalu ada terus kan.. err, okay, nda perlu selalu ada, tp bagaimana cara menimbulkan mood itu di saat yang diperlukan.. hohoho.. semoga bisa menguasai ilmu yang satu ini..
#315 : New Week again January 20, 2009
Posted by creandivity in Daily Life.add a comment
yeah.. another week.. wew..
saturday : there was a Puzzle and Logic Challenge in my univ.. 1st and 2nd winner were from Frateran, 3rd from Sinlui.. congrats to the winners.. the event started at ard 8 am and finished at 4 pm.. well such a good competition, especially the final.. really2 interesting.. in the evening, went to TP.. bought a new novel, The Ghost..
sunday : had a morning fitness session ^^.. then as usual, music practice.. but there was a news, that all the concert next week will be cancelled.. hoho.. so, quite relaxing Chinese New Year (CNY)..
monday : did re-design of cadenza software.. well, a lot change, better and ‘harder-to-make’ one.. hehe.. well, okay, i think not re-design, but make a new project.. haha.. yes it’s a fresh new project, not continuing what we’ve done before with the plain forms.. now, every forms is ‘colorful’ ^^.. but it’s worth i think.. because this is really customized, we (as developer) also want to make it special.. so we don’t use any items such ‘SUI’, but we design by ourself.. damn.. so many works to do manually ^^.. a lot of image.. well yesterday, i just able to finished redesign Audition module.. without the coding inside ^^.. but as i have made it before, i think it will be just ‘copy-paste’ the procedure.. yesterday i finished reading ‘The Ghost’.. well such a productive reading day.. 318 pages, in 2 days.. but yesterday was the peak time, finished almost 3/4 part of it.. but i didnt continue watching ‘Charmed’..
today, wake up earlier, ard 4.45 am.. want to do something to my Cadenza Soft.. and i just adding some components to complete the Audition module.. hopefully i can 100% finish the AUdition module today (although today is ‘busier’ than yesterday, due to my training session and mandarin course ^^).. all i need to do is just adding the code hohoho..
ow yeah, i think, wake up ard 4-5 am really made me remember all the ‘Pekan Kampus’ thing… isn’t it ? haha.. the sky transform from darkness into bright sky.. well, so fresh, relieving, i guess.. for me personally.. i love being on very early morning.. but of course, i compensate it with quite early sleeping the night before.. i sleep ard 10-11 pm now.. it’s quite ‘early’ compared to my usual habit, ard 12 pm – 1 am.. hohoho.. well, i see myself as people who have peak time at the waking up time, not in the ‘want-to-sleep’ time.. hehe.. besides, now, in the evening, my body seems really tired after 8-5 at school.. so, for me, better sleep early and wake up early, with fully charged body in the morning ^^..
#314 : Weekend January 17, 2009

wew.. it’s already another weekend again.. and we’ve got only 2 more weekend before the 6th semester started T_T..
just dreamt about my niece and nephew in Trk.. well i do think i miss them.. really miss them.. wew..
yesterday (friday) : had another training session in Gym.. and when my trainer input my data, just shocked that the computer using Mic Access 97.. OMG.. 12 years never change the version.. hohoho.. then @ school, waiting for the final rehearsal.. 2 pm – 5 pm. had the last check and trial for PLC today.. there were some unpredictable errors which fortunately could be solved..
in the evening, i didn’t attend my mandarin course.. hoho.. watched 2 ep of Charmed..
and today.. 7 am.. after this, i will go to school.. there is Puzzles and Logic Challenge..
and tonite, i should have reunion with my old friends.. but somehow, all the plan scrambled.. some of them can’t attend the event(and they tell me just yesterday).. why is it so difficult to meet old friends ? ow i don’t know but i think i don’t care too much.. well it’s really cool if we can go together, but it’s just okay if we can’t find the appropriate time between us T_T..

Wednesday from 9 am : hmm, tried to finish my job due to PLC (Puzzles and Logic Challenge).. i’ve made the Real Time rank + count down timer for the competition.. then played RO for a while.. 2 pm, went home.. aris came to my house and he printed the CAD file i’ve made for him.. after that, had a guitar course at melodia delta, because Melodia Ngagel is being renovated till next month.. what a far course place T_T.. i can’t go on foot (or becak) as usual.. after that, picked up my mom at Atum..
in the evening, went to Uranus.. asked for about 40 books of Law which my cousin asked me for.. well, so sorry for the Uranus officer that should look for so many books in the search engine ^^.. and i made Uranus Member Card.. it cost 100K for first, and 50K for extension for following year.. yeah i think it’s not really worth to make that card if you’re not bookaholic.. it only gives you additional 5% discount.. in my calculation, if you want to make break even for 100K you’ve paid, you need to at least buy books for total amount (100/5)*100K = 2 million.. such a huge number.. and i don’t think i can (and i want) to spend my 2 million only in books.. its just crazy isn’t it.. well, 2M/12 months, about 200K spending/month for a book.. errr, thats more than half of my wages as assistant.. hehe.. yeah somehow i’ve made the card (well the card physically isn’t with me.. have to wait for it)..
Thursday : as i came to school, i tried to finish my program.. then ard 9 am, had a meeting with head of lab, all of lab assistant.. ow yeah, and this sem will be quite hard.. why ? coz i was pointed to be coordinator of 2 practices, Java S1 INF and Java D3-S1 SIB.. well okay, its the same java.. but Java for S1-INF using textpad, coding line per line, while the other Java using Netbeans, Visual Developer for Java.. and i never used Netbeans T_T.. well the problem not only that.. because the assistant was asked to make a tutorial for practice.. so i should make 2.. yeah let see how it will work.. what a ‘will be’ busy semester (even the semester hasn’t started yet).. after that, all of assistants has a ‘lab cleaning’ section.. hoho..
in the afternoon, after having lunch, there was a rehearsal and preparation for PLC.. PLC itself will be held this saturday.. i think everybody quite satisfied with the result.. yes there are so many bugs there and there.. but overall, it’s good, man..
in the evening, i continued my Charmed.. and 3rd DVD was finished today.. January still have 2 weeks.. and i still got 3 more DVDs for Charmed season 1.. haha.. but i think, my time won’t be enough..
then did some jobs related to PLC.. unfortunately, i didn’t copy some of my latest update files and i was too lazy to repeat all of the same things again.. so, i decided to finish it at school tomorrow.. maybe i need abt half or one hour to finish it..
well.. this 2 days was fairly good for me.. after this week, still have soooo many to do.. at school : books + tutorials for 2 practices.. bless me.. cadenza software.. music concert.. don’t see that only 3 jobs.. tell you, nothing from that list is too easy to do.. hehe.. cadenza – very complicated.. music – need very routine practice and i am so lazy.. books – i think there won’t be any problem.. tutorial – VERY BIG PROBLEM for me.. hohoho..
let’s wish for the better week next week.. and of course a very good week for this week, especially for the weekend..
#312 : Tuesday January 14, 2009

Tuesday
morning : went to Gym.. start using trainer again.. hoho.. well it’s worth rather than exercising alone.. but it was also a hard exercise.. the effect of the exercise is felt now.. my body is exhausted.. especially the muscle.. but to make it grow, you need to stimulate it with pain *which caused by hard exercise.. well, i guess that also works for human in daily life, isn’t it ? if you do find a difficulty, and you can solve it, you are growing, rite.. so, sometimes pain can be useful..
then went to school.. surprising change on Felix, almost made me didn’t see him when i came in to the room.. hehe.. then we did that LC stuff.. well i broke my promise not to play RO until my LC finished T_T.. before having lunch, i played it for about 15 min.. then after lunch, me and Felix show our work for the LC.. after that, i continued a little piece of my work and then, continued with play again 1 hour before going home ^^
in the evening, had a mandarin course.. then went home ard 9.30.. then directly went sleeping.. i was very tired, and sometimes you are useless when you are tired. haha.. so i decided to sleep first..
Wednesday
this morning, wake up at 4.30.. worked with Auto CAD and it’s almost finished.. maybe ard 80% and the finishing touch.. and now, time to go to school.. work again ^^.. ow ya, work at early (ard 3-4 am) really cool.. should try it again.. really lack of disrupting and disturbing things.. very quiet.. and with help of a cup of coffee, it will boost your work.. haha..
#311 : It’s Monday Again.. January 12, 2009
Posted by creandivity in Uncategorized.add a comment
yeah it’s already monday again.. damn.. weekend always fast as we can enjoy it.. and the workdays come again T_T..
well yesterday i lifted my Cousin and his father up to airport.. then ard 1 pm, had a music practice as usual.. and guess what, we will have 2 concerts in Chinese New Year weekend.. means 2 more pressures for me.. okay i know there will be no new songs again.. but of course still need a lot of hard training and exercise.. 2 concert, in 24 Jan will be held in Orchid Hotel in Batu, but still uncertain.. if we deal, we will play for 30 minutes.. approx 6-7 songs.. 26 Jan (in Chinese New Year day), we are invited to participate in CNY celebration in ITC-SIBEC.. we were told that China Consulate General, Surabaya City Major, and other important people will be there too.. approx 3000 guest.. woohoo.. what a day.. all of chinese foundations in east java will present a chinese culture, and if i’m not mistaken, only our group is selected to perform chinese music show ^^.. we will be given 10-15 mnutes, approx 3 songs.. hehe.. well it’s 2 weeks again then.. practice and practice..
yesterday nite, went to GM with my sis and my mom.. just accompanied them window shopping..
Monday – As the quote ‘TGIF – Thanks God It’s Friday’, we also know IHM ‘ I Hate Monday’ haha.. all the new beginning, include works T_T.. but today i just spent the whole day by playing.. dota + Ragnarok.. my mage has been wizard now.. and then, at night, i tidied my desk.. and now it’s very spaceful.. Aris came to my house, gave me 4 pieces of his sketch.. he asked me to make 3D version of his house sketch.. well i’m not so sure about this, but as help to my friend, yeah i accepted that job ^^.. it’s not very difficult, but certainly use my time quite much..
this is the beginning.. what i’ve done in 30 minutes..it’s only the 1st floor, and the wall only ^^
but at least, i’ve started working on it.. hoho.. that is the most important..and i’ll push myself to finish it tomorrow.. why not today ? because i need to sleep A.S.A.P coz tom. morning i’ll have fitness session ^^..
this week deadline : wednesday – Aris’ CAD model.. thursday – Logic Challenge Website.. Cadenza – audition, student registration form, profile, and weekly report input ( actually there is no deadline from the customer, but i set goals for myself).. no procrastination.. just do it.. i think this make me under pressured, all of this stuff, and i delay all of those stuff.. i don’t want to start it.. because i think it’s not easy.. but soon after i’m getting started, i feel like being sucked on it haha.. so i think the hardest part of being dilligence is to start doing..
and tomorrow, sadly, will be no RO for me.. promise ^^.. too risky for me just using my time with playing.. really.. *although now i’m wanting to play*.. but as soon as my Logic Challenge finished, i’ll start playing again.. of course with far more relieved feeling haha.. everybody knows how this LC website is so important.. and i think RO can wait (while i believe my friends, esp Glenn + Febtry will not wait for me.. and keep pushing their level haha)..
