2009 : 12 MONTHS of HAPPINESS, 52 WEEKS of FUN, 365 DAYS of LAUGHTER, 876 HOURS of LUCK, 525.600 MINUTES of SUCCESS.
I hope so :)
Seperti yang sudah-sudah, disetiap jam 12 tahun yang baru, saya selalu menyempatkan diri untuk sholat sunnah 2 rakaat, kontemplasi diri, berbincang kepada Tuhan dan mereview apa2 saja yg sudah saya dapatkan selama setahun lalu dan memohon agar tahun yang baru akan lebih dasyhat dibanding tahun sebelumnya.
Sesuai dengan motto saya : It's gonna be another GLORIOUS year!
Amin.

2009
Waduh sudah masuk tahun baru lagi rupanya!! Happy New Year for all of you!! Walau entah ditujukan kepada siapa karena saya tidak tahu apakah masih ada yang membaca blog ini atau tidak, hahaha.
Dan resmi sudah saya tidak mengupdate blog ini selama setahun.. upss blom setahun deng, hampir setaun.. hihihi..
Sebenernya banyak ide di kepala dan waktu untuk menulis, tapi entah kenapa saya selalu stuck kalo merasa terbebani untuk melaksanakan keharusan menulis blog atau artikel lainnya, jadi ya harus eperti ini, blogwalking dahulu baru saya mendapat inspirasi untuk mengisi blog tercinta ini lagi! hehehehe..
Terakhir saya blogwalking ke blog teman saya, Marisa Harfiana,dan seketika langsung mendapat inspirasi untuk menulis lagi! Thanks cha :)
Untuk sementara tidak banyak yang saya ingin tulis, hanya semangat baru di tahun yang baru ini! Semoga besok besok saya tidak lupa lagi untuk mengisi halaman-halaman blog saya tercinta ini dengan tulisan dan foto-foto yang memang diambil mostly dari jepretan saya sendiri.

If you can drive well in Jakarta, you can drive anywhere else in the world !
This journal entry is taken from one of group on Facebook.
If you can drive well in Jakarta, you can drive anywhere else in the world !
That’s right, if you can drive well in
Picture a typical situation on a bright sunny day in
The Kopaja (public bus) next to your car is only at finger-length distance. But you are not scared at all. Wonderfully, you manage to get your car to the fastest-moving line at the utmost right hand side while you are actually at the utmost left hand side line. Brilliant. After passing the roundabout you go straight down towards Blok M. Your enemies this time are Metromini and Angkot (public mini-buses). For the sake of getting passengers, these vehicles believe that they have the rights to stop wherever and whenever they like. You have ever wanted to snarl at them, but you know it is all in vain, because they think they are the rightful owner of roads in
Don’t forget the motorcycles. They are always in a massive horde. And they like to speed up, randomly. If they slam into your car, you are to blame. So you know you don’t want to waste your time with them. At any one random time, you could be in a situation where your car is surrounded by 4 motorcycles, on all 4 sides of your car. The one in the front doesn’t have a mirror. The one on your left has 3 persons on the seat. The one on your right has a fragile small boy clinging to his dad with feeble grip on his dad’s tummy. The one behind doesn’t have front lights. ALL of them do not wear helmets. Wrong decision and you are pretty much fucked, regardless who is blameworthy. But you are a virtuoso. You get yourself out of that situation with lovely maneuvers, without harming any of those 4 bikes. When you think you are out of the shit hole, somebody jaywalks across the road. Unconcerned and unaware of your speeding car. In a split of a second, you make an accurate decision between accelerating and slowing down. You take a deep breath. The road is tapering. Without any intention to decrease your speed, you ride past that road with adorable certainty and confidence. All of a sudden, from the front side of a parked bus at the side of the road, a ‘gerobak’ (cartwheel) emerges as it jolly moves across the street. Looking at the mirror, applying brake, but keeping eyes focused on the traveling cartwheel are all done in a simultaneous order, ensuring a smooth flow of the car. Finally you have arrived at your destination. But it doesn’t give you a relief yet. You are just about to be tested on your ultimate driving proficiency. You have to park your car, on a parallel parking on an inclining slope, in between 2 luxurious cars owned by an ex-Indonesian army chief. Drains (or in
In conclusion, join this group if you relate yourself to some of these points:
- used Toyota Kijang when you learned to drive.
- started your first lesson on driving when you were in junior high school.
- have ever dented your father’s car and took it to ‘Ketok Magic’ without telling your dad.
- never know of any speed limit in
- know the time frame of ‘3-in-1’ and ‘one way only’ at certain locations in Jakarta.
- always keep at least Rp50,000 somewhere in your car (usually in the key pouch) in case shit happens when you break the law.
- have ever bargained with the police officers when you get fined.
- hate the motorcycles when you are in a car, but you would do the same anyway if you are on the bikes.
- have ever scoffed at other kids who drive better car. His automatic gear is the main reason why you think he can’t drive, and thus should never be allowed to go out in his fancy car.
- hate angkots and metrominis for their senseless driving.
- have ever bumped any types of public transport (angkot, kopaja, metromini).
- as of above, but you chase the bastard until he gives you a compensation even if he looks like ‘preman batak’ because you fear your dad more.
- usually have your first (and the subsequent ones, of course) driving license without going through any proper driving test.
- think that you can drive with your eyes closed in
- always blame on anything else, but not your driving skills, when you actually have ever failed driving test abroad, because you think you have more skills than the tester based on your experience with the worst traffic in Jakarta.
- think that Singaporeans cannot drive a car, because 80% of the cars there are automatic.
- think that Singaporeans cannot drive a car because there are no slopes or undulating roads there.
- strongly agrees that any Singaporean who has ever failed a driving test should not even be allowed to sit next to the driver. That is just way too dangerous. Period.
- you understand these terms: 'jalan tikus', 'nitip sidang', 'polisi cepek', 'joki 3-in-1', 'sim tembak'
- strongly advocates the use of Indonesian driving license as a highest qualification for a driving permit that is recognized all around the world. Simply because we have the highest standard in ‘difficulty’ rating.
Drive safely guys! Cheers!

Trouble Sleeping
Blom bisa tidur, gue iseng kutak kutik I-Pod, shuffle songs. Hasilnya lagu ini : Corinne Bailey Rae - Trouble Sleeping.
Lagunya asik bener buat nemenin saya yang sepertinya terkena insomnia lagi! Why oh why..
It's late and I'm feeling so tired
Having trouble sleeping.
This constant compromise
Between thinking and breathing.
Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'm never give in?
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Tell me I don't seem myself
Couldn't I blame something else?
Just don't say I'm falling in love

Never Get Bored
Hanya satu film.
Jika pada ajang JIFFEST 2006 lalu terdapat penghargaan Audience Award untuk sebuah film, maka film Little Miss Sunshine inilah yg akan menjadi pemenangnya.
Everybody talks about this movie. Everyone loves this movie. All the cast was superb.
Ohya, i got two favorite quote in this movie :
- Grandpa : [to Dwayne] Fuck a lotta women, kid, I have no reason to lie to you. Not just one, a lotta women.
- Dwayne : You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... Fuck that. And fuck the Air Force Academy. If I want to fly, I'll find a way to fly. You do what you love, and fuck the rest.
Why i so crazy about this movie ? Check out my review on my Multiply here : http://titieztitoe.multiply.com/reviews/item/41

No Fruits for Today
Jauh perjalanan
Mencari intan pujaan
Aduhai dimana Puan
Mengapa pergi tanpa pamitan
Lembah kuturuni Bukit nan tinggi kudaki
Aduhai tak kunjung jumpa
Mengapa hilang tak tentu rimba
Laut hempaskanku padanya
Bintang tunjukkan arah
Oh angin bisikanlah mana dia
Hati cemas bimbang
Harapan timbul tenggelam
Aduhai permata hati
Mungkinkah kelak berjumpa lagi
Mungkinkah kelak bersua lagi
