Awakening the true power of Gamacard...

Alhamdulilah. tonight, I have done my research on how to integrate Gamacard with SIA UGM (academic information system). Since few days ago, I was so amazed on what so called, "public key infrastructure". I spent all night wondering and studying on the subject: smartcards, internet explorer, HTTP over SSL, X.509 certificate, DES/3DES/IDEA. Now, it is complete. What I felt was great, knowing how things related to each other.

Thanks to mr.Bayu (he's the manager of research and development. And "yes", he is HERE at the office working on a patch to the GCP's SMS Server), I have got confirmation that the solutions would be feasible. What needs to be done is setting up a much detailed plan of research, transforming concept to concrete.

Unfortunately, I was unable to fulfil my promise to Isaam. I promised him to write more about the true power of Gamacard. I was really beat after some hard exercise at novotel this evening. Let me do it tomorrow ya. This is almost midnight, I really need some rest. My muscle still hurts...

The Dragon Ball Legends...

oh btw (same day post, but on a different topic);
I spend the night at the office. Its the first time I slept here. Please don't think of me doing nothing useful. I was downloading the Dragon Ball movie series. I finally got the chance to have the complete Dragon Ball series, thanks to Mang Pidi for the great site (and the login account) !

I have dreamed this years ago. Someday, together with my children and grandchildren, I shall tell stories of the Dragon Ball legends, watching the Dragon Ball movie together, teaches important character virtues such as teamwork, loyalty, trustworthiness, sthriving not only to survive but to win! (Bayu, we agree on this, right?), etc...

the movies were in RM format (RealMedia), dubbed in English with no sub-title. The dubbing was great, expresses emotions very well in English. It will be be a great media to teach English to my children. There is only one drawback, downloads can only be done one at a time. Use of downloader also prohibited. Downloading these movies can take years to complete!

fear nothing... the legendary journey has just started...

a Morning Walk

This is sunday morning, a great sunday morning with blue skies and the crowd of people walking in gadjah mada campus area. Bayu and I took a walk (he was jogging actually) together. He enjoyed taking pictures. I think his sense of photoshooting has improved well. He has got the basic skills of composition. Checkout my pic, even he had to jump over the fence in order to get the right angle. Even myself had never thought of that angle. Hope you did not notice the "annoying" man in front of the leftmost curved pillar. Of course, as a credit to the new photographer, I also posted his pic. Kudos to Bayu! :D

While I was writing this blog, I suddenly felt "energized", wanting to learn TOEFL asap (how do you say "kepengen banget"). At the time of writing, I was quite sweating and smelly. Thanks to the air conditioner, the sweat has gone, but of course left the smells intact. I have stated to myself; today I will write blog with formal grammar rules (I am going back and forth referring to the pages of my TOEFL book). Was this an effect of Naturade GOLD? Or was it because I have the feeling of "unworthy" or "not doing anything useful" lately?

Last night on the telephone Bunda Lala said I was "kebablasan", but friends said that my actions here are completely understood and quite "human". My friend Teguh said, "Masking the sadness with happiness and cheerfulness".

From now on, I will no longer spend my time with useless actions. I will sthrive for what I have dreamed of (Bayu, this will be our words of everlasting bonds, agree?). I will be a completely different person (becoming supersaiyan!) when Bunda Lala returns home.

Another Crazy Bachelor Night...

oh my god... we done it again, this night, 8 bachlor went dining together at Cak Koting (in front of Mataram theatre)...

the parking lot was full with cars, the food court was so crowded. we later knew what made this food place so "legendary" (laughing out loud). that was the first time I ate "Burung Dara" (was it fried pigeons?), it was sooooo tasty, much tastier than ducks.

we spent over an hours in Cak Koting, we just watched people come and go. of course, the 8 bachelors acted as if they were a true "bachelors" (laughing out loud, but I can't tell you all the details here...)

Bachelor Beach

I have recovered from my feeling of loneliness, i'm now back with friends!
This sunday, we visited "Tempat Pelelangan Ikan" at Depok Beach. the beach was next to Parangtritis beach.

It was a very nice beach, the wind was fast and fresh. After what we have done there, I named it "Bachelor Beach".

The place where we had lunch was cozy and relaxing, the food was also great! can u imagine, with only rp. 20rb, u could have ur stomach filled with plenty of fish (drinks included).

checkout the pic!
I was not there in the pic (because I done the snapshot). It is nice knowing that I still have the photographic-senses.

In short,
Great fishes with great friends at Bachelor Beach!

Loneliness and Sadness...

Akhirnya terjadilah sudah...
Akhirnya aku tidak bisa menahan lagi perasaan terpendamku...
Aku rindu Bunda Lala dan LALA... aku menangis...

Hari ini aku mengajak teman2 kantor utk ke Novotel, tapi tidak ada yang bisa. Mereka semua ada acara. Tentu saja, ini "malam minggu". Ketika rapat conference via ym pun aku hanya bisa ngerecokin... *sigh*
Pada saat itu terjadilah... aku menangis...

"bachelor" stuffs ini ternyata benar2 hanya mengalihkan perasaanku untuk sementara saja. Jauh di dalam hati, terasa rindu dan sedih...

Ya Allah, berikanlah kesehatan, kekuatan dan kesabaran bagi Bunda Lala yang sedang berada jauh dariku. Cukupkanlah segala kebutuhannya, tentramkanlah hatinya dengan hidayah-Mu. Amin.

Full Moon...

Day 4:

i spent my night mostly with Mr.Nugie. After having dinner with Tony and Sicopak (also with great Nasi Uduk! huzzah!), we shop together at Mirota Kampus, buying household stuffs.

that night at Mirota, as i watch people walking around...
i noticed that male shopper always accompanied by a lady. poor us, we were much like a "lost kitten" (do I look like a KITTEN?!). looking around for things... even Mr.Nugie knew where the location of Queju cheese.

lastly,
i drove Mr.Nugie back home, delivered directly to her wife. Mr.Nugie's motorbike was down (how do you write 'mogok' ?), so i decided to enjoy the full moon with him... check out the pic, its ginger drink! yummy...

Bachelor Awakening

This evening, I decided to take the challenge from Tony. He challenged me to start my own blog. At first, I was worried about my time, I’m not quite sure I have that much time to express myself.

Then again… after I think over and over again…
I DO have the time. Since my wife and that sweet little terrorist named Lala would have been away for the next two months. Bunda Lala is away for a short course, selected as a representative from DIY province. Lala, of course, has to be taken care by a specialist. I AM a specialist, but this month I’m quite occupied with ongoing projects (going home late, leave very early in the morning, etc…) in GMU. Bunda Lala can’t stand having me will be troubled day and night with the little terrorist. So, Lala is sent to Payakumbuh with my sister in law. Huzzah (quoted from Tony), even we never got the chance to go back to Payakumbuh…

Why we called Lala a “terrorist”. It was only a figure of speech, not reflecting any negative attitude or anything bad. It was inspired from the movie drama “Desperate Housewives” late at night (you should watch it sometimes, its addicting… hehehe). There was a couple who had a verrry troubled twins. The husband ALWAYS busy at the office, while his wife always babysitting the twins everyday. When the situation turned around (husband doing the babysitting), he said “honey, we grew up a terrorists…!”.

Okay, back to topic…
Tony and Fadel has the same idea. They recommended that I should write about my day-to-day activity as a “bachelor”. At first, I seems weird, knowing that what I do is known by others. Even horrifying, what if Bunda Lala sees this blog… Arrgh!

Well then…
I decided that I should take this challenge, and take advantage of the positive values. This blog would be a good media to practice my English. Fyi; I will take a TOEFL test somewhere in the late October. When Bunda Lala gets back, I would present her a TOEFL score of 650! (Insya Allah, may I be given the strength, patience and ability to be the best…).

That’s it. The challenge has begun. If you lucky, you will see my posts daily. If not, then I would probably been verry verry busy (or verry verry tired after spending my day at Novotel). Oh one other thing, this blog might only existed for the next 2 months. I cannot see myself in the future having the time to express this long writings, after life gets back to normal. But who knows… may all the good lasts forever, and let other vanished in time…

Oh, the other thing is: this blog will try to hinder my emptiness. So I will not write about Lala, Bunda Lala, or anything that will rise the feeling of loneliness. This blog is about “The Bachelor Returns”…

To get this blog started up and running, I’d like to summarize what happened during the last days…

Day 1 : Having a great Nasi Uduk with great friends! Every hour I spend the night, brings back the feeling of those good old days. Piece by piece, my memories recalled. I recalled how wonderful going out together with friends (male friends). Hmmm… It was a long-long time ago since I hang-out with friends. You should read what Tony wrote about what happened that night in his blog. It’s the first time he mentioned me :D thankyou.

I spend the night by working in the office until midnight, doing software testing :P Everyone in the office keep saying “Jadi bujang nih Pak?” or “Hidup bujang!” or “Besok masih bujang kan? Makan2 lagi dong!”. although completed my work, I was very very sleeeeepy (I’m not used to it. It was long ago when I waken till morning). So for the first time in the history of Gamatechno, I went home at midnight.

Day 2: Started my TOEFL lessons, and confused where to find dinner… Waken up at dawn, back again with TOEFL lessons… not forget to mention, I washed dishes and watered the garden.

Day 3: is tonight! Exercising myself, starts after Maghrib until 20.00, without dinner, only with Naturade GoldTM. After the exercise, I hardly walked or even I’m totally beat. Even in complete fatigue, I still have the strength to write this long, or is this the effect of Naturade Gold(TM) … huzzah! (TM)
