First presentation using Palm Card = Messed Up. Thankfully, my two other friends backed me up, thus I think our group was pretty much saved.

I may not the smartest person in my uni, but I realised something important, that is WE ARE IN CRISIS! (Note to the reader: WE refer to something that may be uncommon) and since I am the one who come up with this idea, thus I am the one responsible to make changes. However, I don't know what to do. The furthest I can do is to do some more effort to communicate it and make sure that we are not the ones to blame if we are DOWN.

On the news BlackBerry is in a pinch. Number of BlackBerry Torch sold was only 150,000 devices in its first week during its wide release back then (indication of low market hype for the new product). Then, Morgan Stanley, UBS and some other corporation are testing iPhone and thinking to change system from BlackBerry to iPhone (corporation is BlackBerry's main market segment, if they loose it, then I think that's it). Their problem in middle east leads to distrust in BlackBerry security and their customers change their preferences (Product image shifted). This is not a good time for BlackBerry. It was also said that RIM (BlackBerry maker) did mistakes that Palm did before it went bankrupt.

On the other hand, the release of iAd and Google Ad some months back make me think that iPhone and Android phone may be a complicated and ad heavy phone which sometime is annoying, furthermore I think both device has been used frequently by software developers to collect data (because many apps require internet connection to developers server thus it may be used to collect personal data). It can happen to any phone, but based on the growth, both two may be the fastest to reach that level (this may not be true since I don't use any of it). The industry has been developed quite significant and I am excited to hear some news about the upcoming Symbian^3 and especially Windows Phone 7.

Wish me luck for my mid-session exam today :p

Ad hoc.
Bad things happen three times in a day.

One of the problem in the previous day still happens.
Another Ad hoc.

Friday, 1 October 2010

I woke up, set up my Macbook (not laptop) and did my assignment. Then my friend woke up, he went down and brought me a warm meat pie. I was happy.

I went to Aldi Stores after quite sometime and I bought my favorite Apple-Mango juice. I was happy.

I had a lunch in Ramen Kan, the first time I felt satisfied with my food: Aburi Unagi Don. Thanks to Felix's suggestion. I was happy.

I got a phone call from my cousin and asked me to have a dinner. I meet my Uncle, my Auntie, and my cousins and an old friends. The food in the restaurant, Na, is great. The foods looked nice and tasted good. I am satisfied with both the food, the atmosphere of the restaurant and my reunion with people who I want to treasure a lot. I was happy.

I was late around 1 hour, but thankfully I still could get in. My friend suggestion to keep Wikipedia Page on "Wall Street: Money Never Sleep" really helped me to catch up with the story. Overall, I think I would like to put "Oliver Stone" in my "unlike" section because I didn't really satisfy with the movie. However, after the movie, my friends gave me a surprise. 1 Month after my birthday, I got my birthday present. Very Surprising. I didn't know how to react. LOL.

This day was a really happy day.

I was glad to all the good things that God gave me and I felt that He cared a lot to me.

I asked a question to myself: "What have you done in the previous 1.5 years?"

The answer is: "Being lazy."

So pathetic.

Then, I need to do something about it.

If I failed to do the same thing in more than one place, then the one that is wrong is not the places, but it's me. I just realized that. I am so stupid.
That's why I think KPI is really important.

>>56 Wrong date, today is still Monday, 3 October 2010

>>57
what is KPI?

>>59
It stands for Key Performance Indicator

Target:
1. IceTrack: article about common face in TV advertisements (english only)
2. Kejut: Monthly article about Korean News Update, data collected since Early June, article finished on end of June (Indonesia only)
3. Melet: begini saja lah

6 months have passed by.
I've failed again... (again... (again...)), but I believe this time it's not fully my fault, but because of third party involvement.

I am going to make a recap about the last 6 months.

1. I have been acting just like my operators used to do.
I may not be able to do what was told, but I always said "If you teach me, I will be able to do it".
The privilege of being an operator is that I don't have to think much and simply do. Less headache, but also less compensation.

2. About being a brand ambassador
I still remember and live just like what my previous boss used to tell me: "You have to be an example for others"
and it has a lot of meanings. One of those is what I am reminded again and again, that myself reflects the image of who I am working for.

>>63
3. About Strategic Thinking
I still remember what somebody from my previous company told me that I was the one who should think, not my operators, because they couldn't.
Now it makes even more sense.

My supervisor is someone with strategic thinking. He knows what is the impact of an action and so does what should be done to give more impact and when.

Therefore it's necessary (especially when dealing with other departments) to report to the supervisor before answering or giving responses.

My 32nd day at work.
The company that I worked for struck by a global news. Our franchise in NY was accused for alleged money laundering violation involving Iran.
We are the third company originated from the same country which immersed in scandals.
The company was also struck by a local news. Not really a news, just readers' opinion, or more precisely... complaint because he was supposed to get a gift, but somehow he hasn't and it has been a month. I did the calculation for that.
Is this a sign?

Feel stuck. Feel stressed. Definitely not in a good mood.
Feel not satisfied. Feel not creative. Definitely not being positive.

Temporary solution: start to write little things about me again.

What inspired me today are:
- Chitato can be more addictive than cigarettes + it is better than others because it can make you feel dumb (goblok).
- It may be a good idea to have all daily tools in android device. Not just apps, but also tooth brush, razor, ... just to remind me that I don't forget to do it (feel lazy).
- Handover is difficult, not because I am possessive, but I am not good in explaining things (yet)

This is a story about a friend.

There was a girl which he never met, he never seen, but everyone just kept talking about her. He couldn't help to be curious about her.

Through random chat, he got to know what had happened to her.
Through group chat, he got to see a glimpse of her figures (she's pretty).
Through facebook, he got to know their friends-in-common.

His brain seemed to accept the idea that he was into her.
Whenever he heard someone talking about her, he unintentionally put an effort to overheard the conversation.
Whenever he saw someone with similar figure with her, neural impulse seemed to be sent automatically, so his heart beat slightly faster.
Whenever he was alone, he had an idea to think about her.

The idea of her circled around his daily life and it seemed that he realized that he liked his fantasy about her.
Unfortunately, that was just His Idea.
On the other hand, She had No Idea.

I thought that it could represent the term: One-Sided-Love.
