Time
Many of us do not appreciate it. We tend to think that we do not have enough time 24-hours a day, and the common one we tend to be late to our appointments.
I used to be one of those people. Take my own sweet time, take things lightly and always had millions of reason to give.
However, after several make-blood-boils waiting events, I realized that's what I did to others and I definitely want to put a stop to it.
Ever see this 'OMG. Busy day today, no time to blablablabla' on your twitter timeline?
Exactly.
If you have the minutes to spare to think about tweeting it and tweet about it, you're not that busy after all. You're just using your time doing something less important than what you're supposed to do.
Sometimes, that's the exact same reason why you complain you don't have enough time.
So, before you complain or TWEET, think. So you don't get judgment from your followers or those around you.
Because that is definitely irritating.
Thank you.

"To win the game, we have to conquer and master our opponents"
In life, there are many competitions. All of us are actually competing for one thing and another, be it jobs, positions, places, you name it.
Often times we concentrate too much on the target, we forgot to study our opponents' and their weaknesses that the only think we could think of is, defeating them and not conquering them.
It may sound ominous but by only defeating them, we are allowing ourselves to be threatened, to get a chance of being defeated by them.
Climb to the highest peak and secure your perimeter.
That's how life is.

I had a 3 days camped-out-like from 20-22 which was called English days in my campus.
One of the session which was presented by the head of department was about the road to success.
She threw a question to all of us, which set me thinking;
What is success to you?
Right at that moment, that very minute, what came to my mind was:
Influential. Being able to influence people would be a success to me.
And then, what really bothers me is:
How? how to be influential?
Well, fr Singaporeans and fr bloggers, we definitely know Xia Xue.
She is a famous blogger who is definitely proven to be influential with all her blogger awards.
I'm not sure fr famous Indonesian blogger but definitely the famous business speaker
Tung Du Sem is influential.
So how am I going to influence the people around me?
Start small, that's what I know.

Today is the last day of a long weekend holiday.
Definitely hyped-not fr the upcoming Monday.
Bronies is gone, like really gone.
I do not wish to say that word.
Bcos he still lives in my heart (:
The best golden retriever ever.
Many memories we shared together,
Heart-breaking it is, but I know he hate to see me in tears.
Struggling to held back the tears the days after his funeral.
Luckily he is burried in my front yard.
Adopted a turtle and maybe a pug soon

First I would like to wish you all
MERRY CHRISTMAS
and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I know it's a little bit late, but better than never.
Got my result back, I got all A for 8 subjects except fr 1, and that is the local civic education(KEWARGANEGARAAN) I got a B fr it.
I'm not into Indonesian language you see.
I never get a chance to learn the proper Indonesian language.
Well, I moved to Singapore ever since I was nine and got back to Jakarta only in 2008.
What's new?
For those who predicted 2012 is the end of the world, well we'll see.
If we can see a post in my blog dated 2013, that's to say they failed.
It's been raining cats and dogs recently in Jakarta, most people curse it.
However, I definitely love the weather. It doesn't make me perspire much and definitely save my makeup.
I think I will need an assistant teacher soon. Thank God for all the students who keep coming (:
Elbert can speak a dozen of words like "no", "mama", "mam(eat)", "bath", "bye", "nen(milk)", "yes", "bobo(sleep)", "nainai(that's what he call my mom)" "mba(tht's what he call my maid)" and so on.
The interesting thing is, he understand most English words and not that much of Indonesian. He like Barney and he's grown attach to the big barney doll I bought for him.
What's on my mind?
I wanna earn more than now so I can hire a few assistant and get on another business (:

Life partner.
This came across my mind as I was thinking about the varieties of food we consume everyday.
We have all kinds of potato menus starting from mashed potato, baked potato, french fries, curly fries etc.
However, it all comes down to one basic ingredient: potato.
Well, what does this potato has to do with life partner?
We search everywhere just to find that right partner. Thinking we've got the right partner, we spend millions of dollars on a one-day party.
After a few years, we realised he/she started to look plain, ugly and boring.
We complain about their protruding stomaches, fats on their hips, the noise pollution they create every night, and the list goes on.
Our radar suddenly came to life on its own, seeing a handsome/pretty being infront of us, we start to fall in love again, feeling all young and so on.
We re-marry start things all over again and a few years later, we end up on the same alley as we were.
The new partner starts to look ugly too, boring and irritating. Many times, we find them much worse than our previous partner.
Why?
Because both are human, they aged, they wrinkles, they say the same things over and over again, etc.
They have the same basic ingredients when God created each and everyone of them.
So why not start create extra-ordinary partner with the ingredients they already have in them?
Be a creative 'chef' so that your 'cooking' will receive positive comments and people can appreciate it.
Your life partner needs no one else but you to make them into the most amazing individuals they can be.

I tweeted more than I blogged.
Last week, Bert went to the park to play with Daniel.
Then there was this boy who had a remote-control car, bert wanted to borrow it, but the boy didnt allow him. Bert cried.
When Daniel got home, he told me about it and so we decided to get him one.
We bought a much bigger car and later that afternoon, Bert and Daniel went to the park to play his new RC-car.
The boy and his friends were there too, Bert went up to them, and pointed at his car, showing off.
LOL
I'll try to remember to upload the picture of him wih his RC-car, smiiling.
(:

Hello.
I'm up with a very good story to share.
This morning, a friend of mine who is currently in Seattle bbm-ed me.
Let me start with the background of our friendship.
Her name is Irene.
We've been friends since we were in secondary school, in Singapore.
Different school though, she's from GESS and I was from QSS.
Her parents took her back after a series of i-like-him-my-parents-don't-like-him-getting drunk and all the dramas.
Not gonna go into details bcos I'm not sure whether she would want me to blog about it.
Then we still keep in contact up to today, she knew all my dramas too. LOL
Ohkay, back to the main story:
She bbm-ed me and
asked me to give a sentence
that is worse than "she's a slut and you are much better than her"
So I wanted the details of the story behind that so I can insult better :B
So it turns out her boyfriend-to-be had a long-distance girlfriend and they had been together for nine years.
The gf could not except the fact that her boyfriend is bored with the same bra size.
So the gf came to Seattle and she banged on Irene's door.
Irene, who was having a hungover opened the door without looking at the peephole (she is not using her sober mind,, well stupid I must say).
So the gf rushed in with her friend and pushed Irene and poured water on her, lots of screaming and swearing etc. The neighbours pulled them apart.
So the gf asked for USD$10, 000 (Ten thousand US-Dollars) if the boyfriend wants a clean break,
So with that story I came up with a good sentence.
"What do you call a girl who ask for payments in exchange for companion?"
Answer is: Whore/ Prostitute.
see.
Ohkay, I'm in a rush now.
Ta-daaa.
