In this world of technological advantages, the improved human life and less time needed to cook a bowl of soup, we all face one problem. One big problem that really waste our time and energy. A problem that causes the mandkind to suffer from confusion which sometimes can lead to brain damage or mental illness.
This useless and very irritating problem is called choosing a gadget.
There are millions of range of choices when we are goin to buy anything. There are 3 types of ipods with uncountable number of colors, a whole world choices of handphone with all those crappy systems which we do not use anyway, and even a catalouge of toilet paper types and colors! Why waste time in choosing what kind of toilet paper to use or different types of gadgets. They are just unbelievably the same!! People might waste half of their lifes in making choices and decisions, in choosing the right clothes to wear and what kind of rice to buy.
What was simple in the past became very sophisticated and complicated until you need a consultant to choose which underwear suits you the most. The world is becoming more complex rather than simpler and efficient. We could see the example in a handphone, where there are trillions of functions in it, like all those GPRS,3G and blah blah... All I need is buttons with numbers ranging from 0-9. A huge dial and end call button with one round black spot that named ON/OFF. I don't need all those crappy camera or mp3, because we use digital camera that has better quality and we carry ipods everywhere.
A single thing which was meant to have one function, is becoming one multitasking gadget and in the future, we could have a talking tissue paper robot with LCD screen.
Adidas invented a pair of shoe called Adidas 1 which has chip in it and you could choose the softness of the soles when you press a button which is located on top of the shoe. This is rubbish, one hundred percent rubbish...I don't care where am I stepping at, as long as the shoe protect me from nails and dog poo. The best shoe in the world is a sole sticked below the body of the shoe with traditional tailor on it, not a terminator kind of shoes which could fire laser guns and nuclear bombs.
The message to gadget developers is:
make things as simple as the stone age!

Sweet and Sour
Being supressed like a dumb mouse trapped in the sticky stuff, residents are being fooled by those loaded and glamorous military officers with 2 kilograms of blood diamonds and gold chains around their neck and feet, just like a...pimp.
Is military socialist a good way to treat a country with hungry men digging in the rubbish bin trying to find the caviar and Mexican truffles which is the left over from the Leutenant's mansion?
Militaries with canons, bazookas and nuclear bombs with mass killing gas in it and plague do not fight with people who has fork on their hands and stomach full of air due to the lack of rice or smoke beef which is finished because the fat blobby generals consumed it all..
Last month, a military general was seen at his daughter's wedding in a 5 star hotel in Yangon, while Myanmar's residents do not get enough rice to keep their stomach full each day, according to Jakarta Post...What the counry is now doing is exactly what they did twenty years ago, where a reform happened but the military closed all communication and way to socialize with other country, and after they gradually open out, another reform happened just days ago which then will make us buy new world map that has no Burma inside, completey expunged.
But twenty years again, when I grow mustache and have medical check up each day, we will see a new country that is lead by the Generals, leutenant and Captain's children.
While their stomach grow bigger and bigger and so the bank account in Credit Suisse, when we turn the TV on to CNN, we see more people trying to refute. but in a snap of a finger, gone forever...just like some of the men wearing orange clothing with bald head that tried to "critics" the military government of Burma or Myanmar (whatever you think is appopriate to this "country")
What I am saying is very clear.
For high ranking bureau: Oil as main natural resource + absolute power for military = yacht in French Riviera
For residents of Burma: Oil as main natural resource + absolute power for military = I eat 100 years old of beef that i found in the trash can
Why did the high ranking general in burma make money from suffering?
If I am in the position of the general, I would do these too...

What is Success ? ( In my perspective)
What is success? (In my perspective)
For me, success is divided into 5 parts. They are success in family, in career, in social life, in health, and in morality. My life wouldn’t be complete if I cannot fulfill these 5 areas of my life. Yet different people have different perspective, but mine should be like this.
Now I’m going to explain everything from my point of view. First, what does success in family mean? Success in family means that you have people who love you and be loved by you. Usually the circle of family consists of the closest people around you, such as your parents and siblings. Living peacefully with them means you talk, you communicate, and they respond to you. Time is the key factor here. If a family can spend some time together just to interact among themselves, the problems that they are facing will seem to be light enough to bare. Laughter and hugs would be the best remedy of all tiring day. You don’t have to spend and plan particular event just to show that you care. A simple dinner can have it all.
Then, as I’m a young man that has a lot of dreams and accomplishment to achieve, I believe that I have to strive and work hard to prove my existence. Especially in business, I see that people who are rich have all the respects and power in their hands even though not everybody likes them. Well, for start, I need to have good grades to be successful in my studies so I can earn as much knowledge as I could. Hopefully with all this knowledge, I could establish and expand my own business and be recognized by people.
Next, success in social life means that you have friends that you can count on especially when you are in trouble. Nowadays I see a lot of people try to be friends with people who are popular but that are not what I want. I need to have friends who truly know me, my strengths and weakness yet they still accept me for who I am. Those kind of friends are difficult to find but should be kept when you have them. I believe if you have friends that support you, you will be able to develop your potential to the best that you can. They will remind you if you are wrong and support you when you are in need. That’s why I called it success in social life.
Health, health may not be everything but without health we cannot do anything. For me health is very important. It helps me to do everything from studying, having fun, and doing other activities to achieve my dreams. Imagine if you are sick, you cannot perform to your maximum potential. Not to mention the pain and the expense that you should spent to be healthy. I think even though you have all the money in this world, it would be useless if you cannot enjoy it for you are sick and cannot leave your bed.
Even though I’m still young, but I want to make sure that I am successful now and then. Well morality or religion is one way to have the guarantee. Without good moral people can be very selfish and evil. They only think about themselves and their needs. Usually these kinds of people will do everything to achieve their goals. In the other hand, I believe that I should live good conscience. It will bring me peace so I can prepare my next move without feeling guilty.
I hope I can achieve all of this success. As I grow older perhaps these definitions will change but for now this success are my goals to achieve in life.

Infinite Realms of Imagination Part 1: Video Games
Foreword: I just don't get the Chinese government. The idea of not responding seriously to the situation in Myanmar/Burma is almost apathetically airheaded. I mean, frankly I do have some Chinese blood, and it makes me question if us Chinese people just don't really care less about the things around us, or if we're really use our "friendship" for something that only benefits us. I'm not negatively stereotyping here, but it makes me think, and this thinking is like a slandering toxic (scratching my head at the same time).
Well, I do believe I'm sort of beyond schedule of my posting time, which is Wednesday, roundabout 3 days ago, and in that timespan I've been collecting heart to write my blog entry for this week as soon as I can, but I am just too unwilling to do so. In which it is a bad habit for IB. Go ahead, Miss J. Hate me. Kill me.
Anyways. Back to the topic.
I just can't help it--I was born to love video games. I'm not really who I am now if it hadn't influenced me since I first got my hands on a laptop-toy-of-sorts when I was around 1st grade that taught me this English I use to write my blog now. I am not an fourth-generation gamer or below, but I live around the end of that era: say, SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System,), Sega Saturn, Super Famicom, Neo Geo, to name a few. Ah, yes, how I remember vividly the glorious olden days of 16 to 32-bits of moving graphics that paved the prestige of video gaming to what we now call as the seventh generation of video game consoles, our time; the time of the over-expensive and slightly over-futuristic Playstation 3, in which I first heard of 5 years ago talking about it in Chapel time, the time of Nintendo Wii in which reality gaming is just taking another baby-step and we say adieu to Virtual Boy and its monochromatic spectrum that now bores me to death in just a matter of seconds, and of course the time of XBox 360 which is undoubtedly far more attractive and cheaper (Amen to that, Gary?) than its over-futuristic competitor who apparently set the wrong marketing strategy despite its torture to the R&D department.
Right now, I possess in my vicinity consoles of only as far as the sixth generation , which are Playstation 2, Xbox, and Gameboy Advance, as well as the tip of the seventh, namely the Nintendo DS, and a Wii is expected to storm my house sometime near. The irony of being a well-bred, experienced gamer having a slow progress in generation upgrading is so thick you can cut it with a knife. But nevertheless, I do admit that I played most of the games, seen what they look like, played what they offer, and heard what they sing. I know my first PlayStation 2 game, and now I compare to a game that was just released a month ago as a closing goodbye to the sixth generation, and I have seen much improvement, and such an improvement it was.
I look back to my early years. I have an SNES at my disposal. I played the titles that made Nintendo one mega-gaming company of its own today--Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Mario, Street Fighter, to name among a few--my power adapter once got burned because of playing too much (evidence for constantly wearing my glasses all these years). And then I think of Gameboy, which was in the form of a purple, semi-transparent Game Boy Color I got from my uncle at the end of 1999 in France where I also celebrated the eve of 2000 near the Eiffel Towel. I played Super Mario Bros. and Mario Golf like there was no other console more advanced than that. And now, when I look at my ebony black Nintendo DS, I realized that my journey of gaming has gone so far into this. And those flashbacks stir around your brain and you remember the good days of playing various games, how you missed some, how you wish it would never exist again, how you would die to have one more chance playing it again for the sake of nostalgia, I began to value and cherish some of those moments.
It is absolutely surprising. Within a timespan of less than 30 years , the video gaming industry has rapidly evolved like bacteria, from the monochromatic Pong to the groundbreaking Mario Bros. (originally Jumpman) and finally to the ethereal Final Fantasy series, you may as well guess what's next in the next 5 years. Perhaps there may be a PS4 coming up in just three years. perhaps the long-sought prophecy of holographic gaming may just come true when I'm Head of Department somewhere, someday.

The world of video gaming is constantly changing and improving as humans continue to solve the unsolvable and think the unthinkable. It may improve for the greater and latter good, but it may as well destroy. As long as it will continue, so will I constantly grip my hand firm on the progress of this outspoken phenomena bordering unholy in its presence to the world. On a more cynical side, more of my precious time which may be used for (seemingly and pretentiously) valuable academic and scholastic activities will be wasted as an opportunity cost (taking into account that I'm not an Economics student) of my eternal interests, this among one of them. But as someone once said, grades are of no eternal value.

Song of the Day - "La Mer" by Coba
Literally translated as "the sea", and is an opening song for a video came called Suikoden IV, I fell in love with this song as soon as my eardrums finished hearing this amazing song. Although video game music experts say it is a first-class effort in trying to live up to its predecessor song, "Transcending Love" in Suikoden III, by all means was this song worth hearing. What makes the song have its own "wow" factor was the accordion, which greatly enhanced the feeling of the vastness of the open ocean, backed up by good acoustics that had great harmony with the accordion.
This is yet another instrumental, so perhaps I'll do a song with lyrics on my next post, just for the sake of being more lengthy.
The frog agrees.Cheerio.

Friends.....
If I think of friends, I become so happy and excited...
When I was in the state, my friends were almost all Korean, so even if I log into my Msn Messenger, all I can meet are the korean friends, but I have one thai friend who is really kind.
The problem that I had with my friend is that when I get a new friend, I just wants to be closer too fast. So many of my other friends adviced me not to hurried on the people.
Best friend...
In our life, anyone must have best friend. The best friend is the person who cares for you and hangout almost everytime. I once had a best friend who is living in Jakarta right now. He lived in the same apartment when I was in the elementary school, and we used to hangout almost everyday for playing soccer in the tennis court. But now, he is living far away from my house, so that we cannot meet even once in a week. Would the friendship last forever? or would it be ended so easily if there's a big problem between two person?

Car FREE day?
If you heard the news, Saturday 22 Sept was initialled to be a car free day in Sudirman and Thamrin. The protocol roads in Jakarta. Jakarta's governor office planned to have this "car free day" because the air that we breathe in Jakarta is dangerously polluted by cars who emitted Carbon Dioxide into the air. Governor Sutiyoso was said to have this "idea" of having car free day. But several sources analyzed that this act was to save the name of a person who is going to be ex-governor soon.
The attempt to make Sudirman a car free day turned into a farce Saturday where some areas nearby got the effect of traffic jam, caused by the reduced amount of road spaces for the cars. I was stuck in the car for almost two hours with friends behind Plaza Indonesia. The average speed was 1 milimeter per hour!!! I was frustrated and kind of depressed of how the government's solution to a problem is bigger than the problem itself. I blamed the Roadway policeman of course their incompetence to solve traffic due to the poor coordination as said by Jakarta Post on Sunday.
The traffic ruined the plan for the day. We could not catch the movie and we wasted lots and lots of time sitting down in the car while watching the car move by inches in hours. While the traffic got worse, we planned to just walk to Plaza Indonesia because we were only 50 meters away and it took a century to cover that distance!
Jakarta is already packed with cars and motorcycles. The "Car Free Day" did not help anything except contributing to the use of more gasoline which can cause the price float and citizens suffer more. Imagine how many business deal were canceled and contributed to the decreasing amount of investation in Jakarta. Zillions of money was wasted just for that "Car Free Day". The government must realize that they have to solve internal economic crisis first. With all the money that came in from business deal and less subsidy for fuels, capitals that the government have could be used to solve the air problem in Jakarta.

Time makes you crazy!!!
When you think the life is easy, then something bad happens.
When you think the life is hard, then everything will become better, because if you think that way, you will try harder to live an easy life.
I think in order to live peaceful life is that you manage the time correctly.
This week, my management of time was terrible. Monday and Tuesday, I was sick, so that I couldn't go to school and stayed home, doing nothing. The problem came from the time that I wasted during my illness time.
Tuesday, I missed the math class, and when I go to the math class on friday, we had test. The test was horrible and I just don't want to think about the score that will result.
That was not all...
On the weekend Saturday, I went to church and planned to pick my friends up at Lippo Karawaci, because we had to go watch Rock n Dance Festival in JIKS(Jakarta International Korean School).
My planned time was two thirty leaving the church and arriving in Lippo Karawaci at three 'o clock, but the traffic jam made me almost out of mind making my friends angry at me.
I think managing your time is really important in your life...
"Guys, take your time wisely and carefully~"
Oh, by the way, I started off to JIKS at four 'o clock from my church in Senayan. It took two hours going to Taman Mini from Senayan!
That's not all, being late thirty minutes made me to use 80 thousand rupiah for make my friends to forget my time managing mistake.

A Medley of Ideas and Thoughts
Since so many things had happened in just a short time, I think it'd be better if I elaborate the ideas and thoughts that linger still in my brain in here.
The first thing that came to my mind is my Nintendo DS (Double Screen). It's tar black, it's shaped like a wide rectangular prism with chamfered edges similar that of an iPod or a Macbook, and it plays games on two screens with a touch screen on the bottom, in which I can do innumerable actions using a stylus, depending on what type of game I'm playing. Currently I have a game where you operate people as a surgeon, a modern Nintendo version of Tetris, a game with a wide collection of silly mini-games incorporated in to it, and a dog-adopting simulation game, called Nintendogs. well, I wouldn't talk much about this so I'll keep it laconic. Earlier at 5 am I finally have permission from my brother to bring it to school because I haven't played it since Monday due to work that keeps on stacking and ostensibly ceaseless. I played it in the car, and I also played it before homeroom time. It's the newest array of gaming gear I have in my shortly decaying arsenal of game gadgets, being the ever-striving video game addict I always was.
The second thing that happened today was a university fair. This time they have representatives of universities across the Land of Uncle Sam, America. They didn't have representatives from prestigious and sought-after universities along the lines of Berkeley and Stanford and Harved and Yale, perhaps universities that are slightly inferior to them. Well I wouldn't mind because personally I have a rather thin academic financial pocket, and on top of that, my uncle highly recommended me to do my undergraduate studies in UI, University of Indonesia, and then I may then study abroad, with the exception if I successfully obtain a scholarship, so I may as well be a wee bit more focused and serious as I strive through the academic "Cave of Trials" that is the International Baccalaureate. There were some pretty fancy brochures that was as informative as it is aesthetically appealing. I am to do a major on business because I have an interest specifically in the gaming business. Rather, my passion, but not really my vocation yet.
Another idea I came across today in Biblical Studies was the idea that if all the universal constants of the scientific world were deviated by just an infinitesimal fraction of a decimal, it would be impossible for planets to form and universes expand. It has been discovered that all those constants and numbers are somewhat 'fine-tuned', as if they all combine together to create a perfect orchestra of life as we see it now. Astrophysicists and other scientific thinkers have mostly come to the same conclusion that there must be divine intervention in which the universe was created, one that made the Big Bang happen, although most of them are still either atheists or agnostics.
The third thing I came across was of feeling and emotion, which I studied in TOK. We delved into the topic by experimenting on how would it be if people were emotionless. It seems that all people do have emotion, it's just that occasionally they don't want to show it because of a fair number of reasons. There are words for different types of feelings; but then, there are feelings that you just can't put into words. Exhibit A: in a golf course, say, hole 5, you strike the ball with your wood and the divot is detached. Somewhere along the motion of the projectile, that is, the golf ball, ignoring almost all rules of projectile motion, A bird, say, a crow, happens to get it in its mouth in midair. Now the first thing you do is to shout and chase after that bird, but then it lowers down and drops the ball; and so the ball rolls inside the green and the bird just helped you to score a hole in one. Now try to figure out what kind of emotion/feeling would result at an aftermath.
The last idea I wish to dilate is of the different religions of this world. For example, take the more common ones; Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Shintoism or even Scientology. I once had a thought that resurfaced just today: the what-ifs of the awaited and so-called "Last Day." What if the Islam version was true? What if the Christian version was come true (hence the very offensive phrase of "Judgement Day is coming, look busy")? What if the Hindu or Buddhit version was true and really going to happen? People could debate on this single topic that can be expanded and narrowed infinite times in an uncountable number of years, but the always simple solution is to stick to what we truly believe and have faith in.
I am very sorry for the fact that I cannot review on anything for this week; I have a rather big physics lab report and it's due tomorrow (*snorts on my never-receding procrastinating habit) so enjoy some more pictures while you're at it.
....aaaaand I'm all finished for this week, I do hope that I'll get to talk more, if there is less work next week.
Cheerio.

What a girl wants from a boy?
What a girl wants from a boy?
This is only my assumption and analysis from books and people’s characteristics. This could be true but it also could be wrong.
There are 5 things that girls want from boys, which are security, praise, to be given protection and understanding. But we need to be less excessive from these 5 factors.
Girls/woman want:
They want to have security from their loved ones since every girl/woman/wife needs to feel safe materially and mentally. And there are 2 different types of girls, the 1st type of girl is the girl that looks for and obtain security from themselves. The second type of girl is the one that who gains security from their boyfriend. But beware, to never say to a girl that she is materialistic. Everyone knows that it is hard to refuse an offer from a rich person. The presents and nice surprises, that cannot be imagined, this will make girls feel spoiled and cared from their boyfriends. But you must not only rely on material to give girls security, but you also need to gain her trust by not flirting with other girls.
They also want attention and care but still needs privacy. Give your girl attention, discover small things that she likes and dislikes. By taking an initiative when she is thirsty give her water, when she is cold give her your jacket, and when she is feeling down you are there for her. For boys that have never date a girl before, you need to be careful since too much attention can make people think that you are a stalker. (It’s nice to take care of your girl friend but not her whole life, its not like you are going to marry her)
They also want to be praised but do not want to be fooled. Since girls wants to be acknowledged by their boyfriends they also desire attention from their boyfriends, but you must know, a girl does not want too much attention, this could cause her to feel that they don't have any privacy and space. Also, girls tend to like to be praise of her talent, smartness, and personality.
They want protection from their loved ones. Even though that girl is the toughest Thai boxer, she still needs a man to protect her and give her comfort. Things like going home alone or alone in the streets; they want to be accompanied by men. But beware not to be overprotective since girls don’t like to be overprotected. They want to be understood, so we need to understand how girls think and feel about things. Why woman tend to overreact to a problem? It is because girls are not like us (man) who rather finish the problem than to forget. And ETC ETC I have lots of homework so I end it here
