Counting days to a new month (September) and toward the end of all the opportunities. I still don't feel excited since a lot of things didn't turn out as expected.

Tuesday, 31 August 2010

This is the last day of August. In roughly two hours, September will come. This also marks people who just left me. My friend, Meldy, said that this is the circle of life (we hang out with different group of friends periodically). I practically don't like this because most of them, I don't know what to do to meet them again. It's just like watching the destruction of myself. I am like this because people support me, they give me courage to move and help me to make things happen, then now I am watching them leaving me one-by-one, including the important ones.

I want to scream loudly, really loudly: "Guys, don't leave me, I need all of you!". Selfishly, I am thinking to tie them on top of Sydney Tower to make sure they are here until my graduation, but it's too selfish, I should be supportive to them as well, thus I let them leave and leave marks (the painful one) in my heart.

Today is my birthday. I purposely didn't want to celebrate it for some reasons, thus I didn't really tell anyone about my birthday, I didn't put it in Facebook as well, and I asked my friends (Felix and Yen) not to tell anyone.
I went better than I expected it would be. People who congratulate me:
1. My family and a friend from Singapore (Before morning)
2. Two friends from Bandung and a friend from Sydney/Melbourne (Before noon)
until I did a mistake.

Today, my activity is quite packed. I have 6 hours lecture, 3 hours ticket selling duty, and I am completing documents for the club I am actively involved in. The last thing I did was I met my club's president to do something, then Felix called me and congratulated me on my birthday. Then he asked me to let him spoke to the President, thus the President knew that it's my birthday, thus he blasted text messages telling most of the club's execs that it's my birthday. Then they started to send me text messages.
After that Felix came and met me in my school (I met the president there) and kept me on the school's main walk, then I met everyone and I had my birthday celebrated in the middle of the night on the street. I was actually moved, but thankfully no tears because they joked too much (otherwise I am ashamed of myself). LOL.

Thus, I would like to thank around 7 people that rushed to meet me at that certain night.

After I went back from roughly 10 hours trip to Hunter Valley with my friends, I attended another farewell dinner. This marked a new life for me since starting the day after that day, I will ask myself to move forward and do things that I abandon within this 6 weeks. It's been unfair to everyone, but I must admit that my top priority is always MySelf.

Yesterday is a history and tomorrow is the future.

First day of LEAD (a leadership program), another failure happened during the opening function. I am still not good at working under pressure and I can't contribute enough to the team as well. Nice talk with Bruce. The two speakers (Jaco Loc and Paul Burgress) were great. Now I have further understanding about what is leadership and a myself.

>>48 Just a quick note to myself: I think I know what I will do for the next 3 months and it is trying to always be positif, be positif, be positif (Thus I may inspire at least myself and hopefully others when they are in downturn).

Monday, 13 September 2010

Woke up in the morning and realised that I am back to school! The three-days LEAD Residential Camp was enjoyable and I enjoyed it too much. Right now, I feel... pegal-pegal and I am afraid about my presentation this afternoon.

Monday, 13 September 2010

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.

Tuesday, 21 September 2010

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.
