Another "strange dream" and "important people"

Lho, kok jadi aktif ngeblogging gini? Wakakakakaa

Well, I just have this strange dream that I would like to share...before I finally forgot about it...

Trying to go very briefly on this...

(btw, I just woke up like half an hour before...havent prayed subuh...got a bit of back ache...but kinda freshed up, so guess my sleep was ok :D )

So the dream was I am seeing this parents of Asia Pacific University Indonesian students went together on a double decker coach...everyone bringing this big purple suitcase labeled by Thai Airways logo...some of the parents children also on the bus, and I was giving farewell to them...one of the students told me to not forget about giving a reminder to someone about tonight...then I woke up...

I think I had this dream from 9.00 - 9.20 in the morning...

Weird...I wonder how should I understood this...hahaha

Oh well, back to real life, dealing with my tasks again...

Additional thing, Intermezzo...I got to chat with this "awesome" colleague of mine this morning after I woke up, whom busy with people dealing with very important stuffs...to think that I am already a very much busy person...

I think they are more busy and more involved in more important stuffs than I do...but hey, there is the age difference...then again, I see my friends on the same age far succeeding me in terms of academic and mentality...

Hmmm...

I guess I should understand those things to make me humble...

Another is for inspiration, because if they can do that, why cant I...

Last thing is criticism, in which I think successful people should have more interaction with the ones whom is still lost in their way...and I think the way to do that is not just trying to share what do you do (I will do great this, do great that, meeting with great people, bla bla bla)...but more of how is the process so that you are able to do all of those things...

And the last thing is a big "ouch!" for me, since I remember I ever do what I criticized just now...hahaha

Guess, its a reminder for me too...

Writing this blog from my old 2005 summer edition 12 inch iBook G4...wishing to get a new macbook laptop huhuhu

Being an effective and frequent blogger

Hi everyone!

Its been waaaaay to long since I last posted something on this blog of mine, until to an extent where I even lost my flooble chat!

Well anyways, actually I have many things to say, which in the end I wrote nothing!

I think its just a common thing when people say to themselves..."Aaa I am thinking too much! I dont know what I want to write!"

Anyways, I think one way to actually bring back my desires to blog, I think I just try to write all the questions I have in my head!

1. How do you become an effective and frequent blogger?

2. Do you believe that love can be sustained?

3. How far do you perceive the concept of global citizenship?

4. Between securing money or securing career, which one do you choose?

5. Is there any possibility that we can live ignoring the artificial political boundaries?

6. Will I achieve my dream to work in an International Organization in the future?

7. Does my brain is good enough for going to a PhD? (Considering a dramatical increase between my last grade from undergrad and first semester of grad school, woot woot!)

8. Is there any higher spiritual hierarchy above religion?(Universalism)

9. Is religion itself limiting the scope of religion? (For example, we just Islam as Islam, not by Islam as religion, Christianity as Christianity, etc)

10. Will I get married in the future? How and with whom? (I think this is rather too much futuristic flavored question which off course God knows best about this)

11. Will video game industry can be a mainstream industry? (Considering the market expansion of Nintendo Wii)

Besides questions, I would like to express some of my short thoughts!

1. We need more Indonesian in the international arena

2. I want to see one Indonesian work as a producer in a Japanese video game company (me? wakakakaka)

3. We need religion practitioners whom can be more down to earth

4. I need to fix my sleeping habit! (Sleeping after 12 midnight every day) 

5. Paper to Sarawak, Summary paper to WYCD, Documents for KorDa Kyushu Okinawa, hoshiZora and its activities, Thesis work, Music Video, Promo Video, Teaching Assistant, Journalist Assistant, Student Ambassador, Library conceptor, Seeking conferences, eager for a new apple laptop, wants a small 10 inch laptop too...

And I am getting sleepy now...I think thats all for now...anyone interested to answer the questions? Feel free to drop any comments...:D 

Nonsense Surfing Session...

Here I am..after a while havent post anything on my blog...

And off course, nobody can predict what will happen in the future precisely for sure...(Im talking 100% precise), and I cant really expect that the next thing that I will post now is about Nonsense Surfing Session (NSS)...

So, what I am trying to put after this is just a list of the places I visited on the net that I did tonight...and I think for you readers, it will be something that unique for you to understand the logical flow behind it...

But before that, what is actually a NSS? Surfing session itself is a period of time where you spend it to browse the internet...and nonsense in here is added because usually you tend to jump from one site to another...following a chain of curious thoughts, and you will ended up on a site which have no relations whatsoever to the first site you opened on the browser...somewhat nonsense right...?

So, here it goes...
1. I started off trying to find Sherina (indonesian singer) music clips (specifically Andai Aku Besar Nanti)...
2. Interested to check my emails, so I open up my Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail account...
3. Opening up Expose in my mac, I see a LAServer in the activity list...so I started to look it out for it...
4. Afterwards I open up my University campus terminal...and made changes on its links to add up Al Jazeera on my news links...
5. Thinking of news...I try to open up Republika, because I was trying to put some news there, but in the end I found article about President SBY...who is trying to participate on a provincial governor election from his house in Cikeas...
6. Cikeas pops up in my mind...and I tried to look out where is actually Cikeas is located...and I landed on Google Maps website...
7. Trying to find more about Cikeas, I wrote "SBY Cikeas" on Google, and I found out a fake video of SBY birthday in Youtube, but there is actually video titled "SBY Cikeas" which actually a report from Liputan 6 (national news broadcast) showing that there is an emergancy meeting regarding the Lampung Governor election held in his house in Cikeas...
8. From that video, I became interested on the parade of cars of the president...and then I thought "Wow...how does it feel really to have that much cars escorting you to wherever you go...", and there was a video "SBY to Bandung"...the commentator speaks in a Sundanese accent, so I leave a comment related to that hehehe
9. Seeing the right side of the clip there is a list of related videos...and one of them shows a video with the word "Motorcade" and then I became to understand that the car parade term is called "Motorcade"...
10. The "motorcade" thing was actually related to the APEC meeting...and there is another video showing the Presidents Bush motorcade...and I thought again...wow, how does the most powerful man motorcade will be? And then I try to look at it...and wow...I could see that there was lots of vehicles, motorcycles, ambulance, buses, limousine, jeeps, sedans, you name it...! It took about 3 minutes to let all of those vehicles passed...
(getting sleepy now...but I want to finish this post!)
11. Actually, there is a video of Chasers (Australian Stunt Comedy show), trying to do a fake motorcade of Osama bin Laden, approaching to the president Bush's hotel (which they made it until 10 meters from there) with a set of motorcade with Canadian flag...
12. Interested about Chasers...than I browse more about it...especially on what they did related to the APEC 2007 event...
13. Lastly...I feel I had enough of watching videos...than I try to get back to my gmail (which is the most active email I have...) and after this I am thinking on doing my paper until subuh and then catch some sleep, and try to wake up about 10 oclock...

So, it is basically Sherina - Emails - Campus Terminal - Cikeas - Motorcades - Chasers...in about 2,5 hours of time...

Actually what I tend to do in the first place is trying to see the music clip, see my emails and start doing my paper...but then again, I got distracted by my curiousity and the amazing internet which lets you find any information that you want...!!

Apologies I would say to my junior "Jamal" and my bro "Karatekid"...as I should've spent the time for the NSS to do things that related with something that I do together with you....

Istiqomah, or perseverance, is indeed not an easy thing to do....

And now, I am sleepy...still wishing that I have more time to do my things before I sleep...

Anyways, hopefully I can get sponsorship to go to Holland, and I can get extra scholarship for my graduate school...also manage my relationships well...trying my best not to be unfair to anyone...(not that related to this post, just wanna express it briefly hehehe)

"And which of Al Lah's blessing would you deny...??" (Quran Chapter ArRahman)

Oh Al Lah...please show and give us determination on not to be wasteful...

A great philosophy of business

This quote was being used by Ludicorp as part to explain what their company is about, very inspiring for businessman, especially the one who just about to start :D

==================================================

Disclosing New Worlds: Entrepreneurship, Democratic Action and the Cultivation of Solidarity by Charles Spinosa, Fernando Flores & Hubert Dreyfus (MIT Press 1997):

Business owners do not normally work for money either. They work for the enjoyment of their competitive skill, in the context of a life where competing skillfully makes sense. The money they earn supports this way of life. The same is true of their businesses. One might think that they view their businesses as nothing more than machines to produce profits, since they do closely monitor their accounts to keep tabs on those profits.

But this way of thinking replaces the point of the machine's activity with a diagnostic test of how well it is performing. Normally, one senses whether one is performing skillfully. A basketball player does not need to count baskets to know whether the team as a whole is in flow. Saying that the point of business is to produce profit is like saying that the whole point of playing basketball is to make as many baskets as possible. One could make many more baskets by having no opponent.

The game and styles of playing the game are what matter because they produce identities people care about. Likewise, a business develops an identity by providing a product or a service to people. To do that it needs capital, and it needs to make a profit, but no more than it needs to have competent employees or customers or any other thing that enables production to take place. None of this is the goal of the activity.

The goal is to kick ass.

Life biggest challenge...

One of the worst things that I think would come in life is when your existence are threatening the life's of others...

Perhaps if that time comes, its when all the reflection should be made, what had been the cause that made our existence are other's life's stake...

The bad part is when we wish all the things that we did which made it go worse doesn't occurred...as we couldn't change anything in the past...

Ya Al Lah...please give him safety...forgive our sins...give us wisdom...give us virtue...avoid us from misunderstandings and show us to the righteous path...

La haula wala quwwata ila billah...

Trying to see the problem with a thorough perspective...as I need it because I am approaching also the deadline for my thesis, water summit, indonesian ambassador, act and other things...

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَعِينُواْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاَةِ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِين

"O YOU who have attained to faith! Seek aid in steadfast patience and prayer: for, behold, God is with those who are patient in adversity." (Al Baqarah : 153)

Priorities

Well, I think that today I learn a really great lesson about the importance of setting up my priorities...

The story is like, I have a homework which I have to submit this morning on 8.45 am, and I am quite happy because I did the homework wednesday night, 2 days before the deadline even...

A bit inside story of the situation I faced during the process of making my homework...I became realized that the most demerit point that I have is hard to be focus...as I always distract my mind to something else, and not paying attention to what I should do first hand...

And during that day, wednesday night, I tried my best to concentrate, focusing on only to finish my homework and finally I made it till the end...

Things pop up from here is that, I am not adult enough to know what are my priorities and how I should manage them...I was thinking that being adult is being responsible and in fact in the end I learn that being responsible is to acknowledge our priorities...

So...whats left from here to do is that, I had to finish up my GHRM and Statistics homework, finish up the Islamic Finance Project, and make video and powerpoints for hoshiZora, perhaps afterwards I will upload photos from the Sports event...

So, when should I do my thesis...that is still a long way to go it seems...(long way to go? The deadline is 1,5 months more Ivan!)...

Back to the report story, in the end I was too much busy on my Islamic Finance project, I ended up woke up late and late on submitting report, think wrongly of asking someone to teach me what I missed since I forgot that she is very busy in this weekends, and I ignore a friend along the way which are eager to ask my help on something, also problems come up from the part time I did with my high school, where the hours are being decreased...and also I couldnt do the Islamic Finance project because I forgot to bring the ID, I left in the house...

But not all went bad though, Azahar drive me to school, got to meet some brothers in Jumah prayer, I helped somebody to apply for their CAP program...

Anyways, its all about my priorities and egoistic personality...

So little time, so much to do...-Arkarna
