I am so excited today. 2nd of December 2008. It s a time of life where I am signing an agreement to create a PT…yes, it s a company under my name..!!! unbelievable aye..!! Thank s God for that. I know it still in the process of creating one. Today, me and Matthew meet up with “notaris” to talk about creating our company. Its under the name of MECA Indo… I really got no idea how far I am gonna with it. But I know for sure, that I need to work really hard to make my life happened, to make this business running well, to make changes in people life on what I am doing in this company.
Yes, on the age of 24 years old and 203 days, I officially make a start in creating a company.!!! I know for sure, that networking is the only key in here. I wouldn’t even thinking of this PT if I don’t talk to Matthew, and if don’t care about my future and doing business. Still clear in my mind when I started to move my guts to actually say “ hi” to Matthew on Skype. Starting to chat about the possibility of us working together. So far, I think I am pretty lucky on what I found on Matthew. He is very genuine guy, honest and easygoing. I think I ll be working pretty good together with him.
You know, half of thinking like gosh, I am gonna loosing my free time now..!! hehehe..but I know, I ll be working my ass off.. no excuses not to work..to be lazy and wasting my life not being productive. This is sort of job I really like. You know, to be able to talk with students, and dealing with people who actually want to change their life to move to another country or to find a better jobs. And for me myself, It s a job that will allow me to travel around the world, which always something that I am dreaming on.
So, I really thanks God, for all of this…..I am very looking forward of what gonna happened next..and I really hope and believe it will only take me to a better one. !!!
I feel lively right now. IT has been 1,5 years since i got back to Indonesia, and right now, i feel like i am back from dead !!! Selama gua di Indonesia, i got no proper job. I feel like my live is useless. Kerja bingung, pengen bikin rencana sesuatu mengenai business, selalu aja di tentang ma orang orang sekitar... Sering gua ngerasa, apa gua gak fit in ma orang orang di sekitar gua ini...Yang salah tuh pola pikir gua ato mereka seh..Semua gak jelas..Bias...Emang bener klo orang bilang, benar ato salah itu tipis perbedaannya, sering kali kita di buat bingung dengan pemikiran kita dan orang lain mengenai apa itu kebenaran atau kesalahan. Anyway that s not the point i am writing this blog at this time..
Hari ini gua happy, sekarang gua ada di Bandung. I came here 2 days ago. The purpose of me coming over here is to do business. Well, gua ketemuan ma Matthew hari ini untuk melihat lokasi tempat disini , di geger kalong. And i was pretty worried if he would say that i didnt like the place..but it turned that he liked the place. Waktu gua bilang itu ke oh rony dan agatha. both of them said " wah, berarti dia seleranya rendah tuh". Emang bener, sometimes we dont realise how much we got till we lose them. Mereka gak tau, klo rumah tempat depan yang mereka gak gunakan selama bertaun taun tuh bagi orang lain memilik potensi besar yang bisa di pakai untuk menghasilkan uang dan berproduksi.
Anyway, after all da conversation with Matthew..gua semakin semangat dengan business ini. I know, not many people in da family understood wat i am doin and put a lot of interest toward this business. But, i am so excited and i could see myself running this business. And most important for the first in my live, TODAY, i feel i woke up from dead.. I got semangat lagi untuk berkarya dan bekerja.. It s not all money, but to make my dream come true and showing up to people and myself that i could do something great. !!!! Lebih lagi, setelah ngobrol dengan Matthew this arvo, I sent messege to Pak Kus, untuk membahas mengenai kuta galeria. And guess wat, I am meeting up with him tomorrow morning at his place. !!! so excited..I dont know what will turn out from the conversation tomorrow, but at least i am trying and i got chance to try it tomorrow. !!! wonderful ay. Right now, i got heaps of plan a head my for next year !!! I am excited and i hope everything goes allrite. !! thx God. !!!
I just got back from Singapore.. Taking my dad for a check up.. I was with my sister " j Ephie and my Mum this time.. I enjoyed the time overthere a lot..Singapore has been one of my favorite country... But sometimes that i realize right now to compare Indonesia and Singapore...
It s "Ironis" Indonesian people said...Coz you know, when you are in singapore...Yes we can see so many beautiful buildings and decoration in mall or hotels...It is actually the same with in Indonesia. We got millions of fantastic looking buildings and luxury restaurants or hotels in Indonesia. But this is the different.. In singapore, there is not much different between the inside and the outside of the building.. You know what i mean.. In indonesia, we can enter a room or restaurants or hotels and we completely in different world inside it. BUt once we get out to the street or even just one step out side of the door, we can feel the heat, we can see dust, we can even see beggars and all the messiness of live out there. "Ironis" when some people can enjoy a heaven and millions of others stay out there in hell. A hell of poverty. Those who can feel the complete heat from the sun, those who are not able to pay for even cheap food, those who feel cold at night coz they dont have place to stay and live. While others are enjoying luxury live, luxury food and feeling warm of the blanket in the 5 starts hotel rooms. IT s a pity how live is so imbalance here in Indonesia... something to think about...to give thank to GOd for all we got.. And really we need to make a change right now in Indonesia. !!!!

Couchsurfing is the website to for traveler..Gosh, i was so lucky to join this website.. It gives me more than just a normal friendship website like facebook or friendster.. Coz you know..couchsurfing is really making u to have more friends all over da globe..Not just friends on dunia maya..but, you really helpful to each other by being host etc..
Anyway.. from the 1 - 3 of nov was a couchsurfing gathering in Karimun Jawa.. Since i was in semarang before that day..I decided to go to this gathering.. I was so excited you know..It s been a long time since i was doin backpacking...So, it s time..to live on the backpack and travel cheap..!!
My trip started from goin to Jepara to meet Eni. She was great..I heard from her that she got other Cs from Bandung at her place already. So, i took "travel" to her house. After that, We all ( me , eny and other CS from Bandung) went to walk around in Jepara..visiting different place overthere, from Museum Kartini, Makam god knows who, and having shell at the city centre...
The next day, all of us meeting up with other Couchsurfing at da port to catch ferry to Karimun Jawa... 6 hours on da ferry to get there..gosh..that long aye..but, luckily i stayed at VIP..so, no hot hot hot ..hehehe.. i had a good sleep and chat with others..so, 6 hours waiting was so fast..!! and when the time closer to , we all got so excited ..Karimun Jawa is looking so good from da very..I know this island is different..Its clear, no polution and def remote !!! And surely, once i got there.. I can see the water was Cristal clear !! YOu can see the bottom of the ocean..I have never seen that kinda sea before in Indonesia..not even in Bali..!! We were all so excited, so we made our way down to the ferry..and ofcourse taking pictured on the pic sign of "Welcome to Karimun Jawa" ..
As soon as we got there.. we straight hit the beach..finding the beach was not hard..The beach we went was perfect..the water calm, clear, the sand was white and soft..and the water was warm!! It million times better than swimming pool..!!!!
We finished to day with barbeque near the beach..!! of course the whole day was full of funny pictures of all of use which i will never forget. 
Second day was a tiring day. We were all jump to the boat to do island hoping. !! visiting 4 different island : Pulau Kecil, Tengah, Sintok and Menjangan Besar. All those island was amazing..still da same ..clear water, warm and da coral and fish were so gorgeous. !!!! fun day eventhough I got sun burn like most of us..!! oh yeah, on da last island, we got a chance to swim with shark.!! real shark..but vegetarian..hehehe.:) of course not..but, it s just save..!!!
After dinner, we went to visit shops and back to the port ..WE were all talking to each other and did stars spotting..!! saw a couple shooting stars..That was kewl.. and took some funny pic..
Last day was sad, coz we had to leave to our cities.. Great fun to meet all of them.. But yeah,...off from ferry, I joined with Cs from Jogja and Semarang..Coz i need to go to semarang to get my laguage that i left it at Ela s place. !!! We took public bus to go to Semarang..catching up with Ela then cought Joglo semar to Jogja..
That s da whole trip..Man really, i was so happy to join that.. i could see different part of Indo..it original, authentic and gorgeous..!!! And the friendship that we made at CS was more than money we spent ..!! 3 Days was a wonderful day to know and share other people who got da same interest and passion on travelling..!!! Definitely i ll Support Coushsurfing all da way..!!!
I just got back from Karimun Jawa .. Man, that island is a definitely a must visit island in Indonesia. It s located just north of Semarang/Jepara. How could i ended up goin there? Because of COUCH SURFING GATHERING from all over Indonesia.
Well, my trip started from the 26th of October. I went to Jogja to attend Borobudur Travel Mart in Semarang on the 27-28th Oct. The travel mart was great.. Gets me excited with da whole hospitality business again. - u know after more than a year i was kinda lost in this industry, losing my passion and all...- I met heaps of people from all over da world and Indonesia...Talking with them and sharing passion about travel and hospitality industry...!!! So, yeah I stayed at Horizon..although i had to spend heaps of money to cover all da expenses of my and my staff from Gombong ( suruhan bokaP)..huh!!! :(..
Staying In Semarang was fun..I used that time to catch up with my old mate "Ela". It s was funny and coincidence, on da day when i met up with Ela at Horizon hotel, i met Yoppie (other school mate) on da lift of the hotel. So wow...that was so kewl..we did meet up for all of us for meal. !! great catching up i tell you..so, i decided to stayed at Semarang for a few more day till da day to go to karimun.. ( i canceled my plan to go home and staying in Semarang instead)... da 3 of us went to Lawang semu, having a beer and playing pool..!!! heaps fun..i was lucky i got friends all over da place.. Really..that s wat friends are for..lol.. not to give u free acccomodation or meals..but IT s more that, you know u have someone who care or friendly to use to the strange place u never been..!! It was nice..

wow…it s 2007, well, in a few hours here..Yeah, i have to be honest..that time has gone damn fast..faster that i have realised.. 2006 HAs been a great year to me personally..ehmm, i still can picture new year 2006 clearly in my mind..i was in adelaide..in a hot summer and new flat in north adelaide..Gosh, that was fun..last year, same as the last 4 years, i was working till late..just because i was in adelaide last year..so, i got chance to work in adelaide convention centre..good fun tho..and of course, as it has been a tradition in adelaide, we went to the red square afterward..hehe.:D..-bit of dance - why not.. the first half of 2006 filled with degree studies..It s been heaps less work compare to 2005, more friendship, more fun stuff with friends since i didnt have to lock my self up in my room to do heavy assignment…so yeah, i am thankful for that opportunity, realising that my last 6 months in adelaide i had been spending time more with my closest friends. .. My travel experience expanded when i went to ayers rock..Man, that was awesome..For someone that spend most of my live in tropical country, it was such a great feeling to see other part of the world where there is not many trees, red soil, different race of poeple , hot and boiling weather..and the outback itself has thought me something..- that life is full of fighting to survive, to be the greatest person that you could ever be. At that time in ayers rock, i also received a messege from my lecture, that i was accepted to work in scotland..yes, my other half of 2006 i spent in scotland..- an another country that never come across to my mind -..i have been blessed so muchhhhhhh…me being in UK, that s just AMAZING!!! i Got to thx everyone that had made this happend.. back in July, it was hard to leave australia..yes, i probably never said this..but yes yes yes..i miss my friends a lots..friendship and experiences that i had got from australia was a huge part of my life..shape me like who i am today bout family back in indo..ehmm, yeah..i went back to indo on july..it was great seeing my families again..been 1,5 year at the time from the last time i saw them..However, i didnt spend much time with them due to lack of time i got..but hey, no matter how short the time u spent with ur family, it always great..but i had to realise, that there is a block of distance between us which i need to fix it when i got back i suppose.. anyway, there are lots of plan for the future that i have to face in new year 2007…i am very looking forward for it..finishing the half of 2007 in scotland..and my plan to travel around europe and egypt in july 2007..graduation in sept 2007 in australia - be great seeing my friends back in oz again-, and of course, brand new life and work in indo ….very very looking forward to it..i just pray that God will take care of me and lead me to the right way as he always been..

This is so strange…I dunno if i am the one that become a stranger to myself..or, this entire world is strange..
Tonight, i feel i am a time waster..i am no use for anyone or anything..I feel like, i lost track of wat happening surround me..With my time that i have, the money that i earn, i should be able to do somethingelse more useful, more beneficia for people around me..BUT>…wat can i do, where can i do that, how.?? I dunno..
Here i am, in the middle of the night..trying to sleep.., staying in a room which i didnt even know how the hell, i couldnt end up in this room..In the middle of big city in UK that i dont recognice at all..
It s pathetic, I could easily answer all that questions if somoene asked me..I mean if it wasnt about me, I couldnt easily answer with a very wise advices …yeah i am pretty good at it..Very good in giving advices and to lie without anyone could find out that i was a complete trash…
shit, now i start to think..wat a hell i am writting blog..writting this all thought that come accross to my mind..which definitey has no use to anyone..and i haven been wasting my time, have i??
I dunno, i guess, i dont recognice myself anymore atm..HOpefully, sometimes in future, i could pick up all those broken glasses of my life and put it all together..for a better use..I dont wanna blame anyone, or the place which cause all of this things coz i know, i got a control of them…not them controlling me..

ehmmm..I am not overly happy to be in indonesia this time..Pretty sad, knowing that i wouldnt be in australia for at least a couple years…Pretty sad, knowing that i wouldnt be seeing my friends for a long period of times, pretty sad that i have to dealing with a culture and environment that i havent really attach with for the last 3 years…
yeah, the first couple of days were pretty hard…dont really enjoy the company of my family and people surround me..prefer to be alone with my book..- i know it s not good..i reckon, i just gotta adapt with it..and slap my face to realise that i am in another country..my journet in australia has ended…and if i am dreaming "again" to live in australia, i just gotta create my own opportunity later down the track…
well, really i wanna say thank you to all friends back in adelaide, port douglas, and the gold coast..you guys rock..you have given me heapsss…more than i could ever ask for…if i thought back the time since i arrive in aus till now, i would amaze..amaze of how much experiences that i have had with people around me..I guess i am lucky i met heaps of nice people, made a good friendship with the best people in this universe… i got no regret, met up with all of u..it has been a bleesing for me..thx once again..

ehmmmmm….gua lagi bikin assignment neh..ngantukk..gak tidur semalem gara gara bersih2 rumah and nonton brasil lawan australia..kalah pula australia..:(..sia sia deh gua melek semaleman…
nyway..it s my last assignment for this sememster. yay!!!!..and ..it s about a week and a half before i am flying back to indonesia..Man, i feel sad..coz, when i am flying back to Indonesia this time..i am gonna leave australia for good.. i guesss it s gonna feel different this time..the previous trips to indo was always excite me ..i got something to look forward to in indonesia and on top of that, i know that i am coming back to australia afterward…but not..it s gonna be different..i am not coming back to aussie for at least in 12 months - if i am lucky enought to manage to fly back to australia for my graduation..
Well, australia has givent me so much..i spend my young adult times in here..I have experienced heaps and heaps stuff..i couldnt ask for more..it s amazing..i have been transformed to be someone stronger, to be someone that a lot more mature in many way…and to be someone that can stand on my own feet. In australia i met many and many good friends..the happiness, and the sadness in here..have moulded me into someone who i am today..
yes, i am goin away to scotland..it s a new chapter..i have leant my lesson of life in the last 3, 5 years…and i have no regret.. but i want to do something much better in scotland..and indonesia after..I knew this 3, 5 years i got something that has been holding me back…. i know it ..and i am trying to solve it..rite now..and in my new chapter in my life.. very looking forward to it..

langkah ku mati..
tak tau kemana aku akan pergi..
deburan ombak terasa sunyi..
kicauan burung memekakan hati..
kemana aku harus malankahkan kaki ku..
Tuhan, dimanakan suaramu..
teman, berikan uluran tangan mu..
sodaraku, tidak pedulikan engkau..
sepi..
sepi aku sendiri..
tak tau siapa kan merengkuh masa depanku..

Couchsurfing experience was so fun lately. I met a couple interesting guys last week. One guy from US, he helped me to give heaps of ideas about making plan for the restaurant. The other guy from OZ was heaps fun. They both helped me out to set up a bad and promoting my restaurant to other village.. kewl aye..
With busy time like this, keeping my mind away from OZ..!!! money is good and work is fun...A lot of crazy customers as always everywhere..

Hey guys,
been a while..nuffing much to update really..i am kinda stuck with my program renovating the restaurant here in Bali.. Pretty good..I am enjoying it at the moment..I spent a lot of time in SOka , that s why i hadnt been on the internet for long..:)..
I was great to have programs...Great that i can put my imagination into real in building and renovating the restaurant. I gotta choose the design i want, where i wanted to put the light on, wat carpet i wanted to use, tables and chairs i wanted..Awesome stuff... I am kinda understand now, how my dad is so addicted on building things..hehehe..
But yeah, yesterday, i went to the airport..I sent Kei away to Dubai...Pretty sad, coz i am loosing another friends in Bali now ( which i dont have many)...But, in the same time, its good for her...
You know, about all my story of going to Dubai, rite? I was imagining myself to be in the crowd like her..Oh well, the decision i have made.. I am sure, there is something better for me..:).
And guess wat, i met another friend in Bali just after i sent kei away to the airport.. Will be a good friend i think..
Anyway, i am goin to jogja tomorrow then probably heading to bandung after that.. I ll be back next week..Ciao noq
I just got back from Singapore on Saturday.. It was great to be there with my family...I have had much time in my life to spend time with them, so its pretty special.. However, we went to Singapore for medical check up for my dad. The result for that was great. I was pretty satisfied with the Doctor over there. They explained everything very well to us and gave my dad a great medicine. The result was seen straight away from my dad. His blood sugar level went down from 300 + in the first day to 119 in the last day...
However, in our last day in Singapore, dad felt pain in her legs. He couldnt walk for long. So he had to use wheelchair the whole way from the hotel to the Airport till arrive in Solo Airport. Thanks God, i wasnt a big problem coz he felt better straight away after he arrived in Solo...
I really hope that my Dad will get better a real soon... !!!!
havent been on this blog for a while..so, i thought just to give some update to this..
well, recently i have been busy in the restaurant coz we doin some renovation.. a little renovation, but its good to keep me busy and use my brain a little...
I have decide not to go to dubai this month..i Mean, yeah..i am not goin to work in dubai.. it s hard decision..you know, half of me still wanting to be there..but i thought, yeah, i gotta be more serious in my life..and probably start thinking to settle down somewhere..!! so, i come to conclusion to cancel my plan to go to dubai. and instead of that,i will be goin to singapore with my family and dad for a medical check up for my dad. !!! Then i hope, after everything is okay with my dad, i will be starting to look for a master degree cource or something. !!! Hopefully i can get my PR by the end of the year.
I think it s time to get serious with my life.. Again, i have to think on taking futher study, get a good carreer and start to settle down..You collection money and do some investment and life in one place....
anyway...!!!! I am in jogja rite now..last nite, i had a good time with my friends in bali. it was kei's farewell party..it was may be my last chance to meet her coz she goin to dubai begining of sept...!! so, me , john and kei went to the rumour in seminyak...had a good food and a good laugh as usual.. then afterward, we went to dejavu ...usual ritual dancing on saturday nite.. really really good, i am so gonna miss her ...YOu know, the last a few months have been different coz i know them and hang out with them... It might be just a normal drinking and dancing on saturday nite..but, really it had put some colour on my life ..especially after all the down side in my life since i moved to bali..!! so, i really had a good friendship with them.. Thx guys..!!!
- i ll post some pictures later -
akhirnya aku balik juga ke gombong.. balik ke rumah lama, tempat tinggal waktu je ephi dan je yudith kecil.. aku sendiri seh blum pernah tinggal ditempat itu....tempat nya enak juga kok..cuma sepi aja klo malem.. tapi mungkin, itu yang papi pengen..tempat yang sepi buat istirahat karena selama ini di restaurant selalu rame di datengin tamu tamu.
Hari hari kemaren sih masih rame karena je ephie ma oh rony dan keluarganya ada disini nemenin papi mami..tapi hari ini mulai sepi...je ephi udah pulang ke bali hari minggu lalu, dan oh rony udah pulang ke bandung hari ini. TInggal aku sendiri nih di gombong... Aku sendiri mungkin bakal tinggal disini paling enggak sampe tgl 5 bulan depan. setelah itu, aku pergi ke bali dengan membawa tukang tukang untuk membetulkan restaurant di bali. dan klo aku ditanya lagi setelah itu..aku tidak tau..!!!!
Jujur aku nggak suka kondisi sekarang.. Aku gak punya pekerjaan yang jelas.!! sebenernya seh, aku bisa saja ngurusin perusahaan mami papi di gombong.. tapi aku masih merasa belum siap and belum mau. Apalagi harus tinggal di gombong.!! Aku masih pingin melihat dunia..bekerja, mencari ilmu lagi, dan pengalaman di luar negri.. Tapi gak tau juga klo itu rencana Tuhan atau bukan.!! Dan aku gak tau musti gimana lagi ngomongin ma papi untuk bisa keluar negri lagi... disatu sisi, aku kasihan ma papi yang lagi sakit. tapi disisi lain, aku gak puas dengan hidup yang sekarang... apalagi harus menghadapi orang orang lama yang kerja disini dan masalah masalah yang gak jelas!!!
udah lah..biar waktu yang menjawab...tapi dalam 1 sampe 2 hari ini, aku pengen ngomong ma papi ku mengenai masalah ini..Tapi yang jelas, aku harus sabar dan mengontrol cara bicara ku, biar papi gak marah marah...
I just got back from Singapore on Sunday morning.. It was a great time..but, once we got home, we got really bad news that my dad was sick ..It wasnt just flu or somekinda sick like that, but he got a minor stroke ..I was pretty shock, although i knew that dad had always been sick due to high blood sugar lever /diabetes but, he never went to the hospital.
So, yeah, this time, we had to bring him to the hospital in Jogjakarta. My brother went over to GOmbong to see him and brought him str8 away to jogja. Once we landed on Sunday, J ephie took the next flight in the morning to Jogja.
Today, i just arrived in Jogja and my other sister coming within the next hour. Well, i really hope things are going well with my dad.. I mean, this is the first time that m y family has been put through to this kinda situation.
I saw my dad today on the hospital. I was sad, i mean, he is a strong guy rite..And he s been always a powerful guy for everyone!!! But Gosh, i was really really sad to see that dad hardly could do anything... He was just there on the bed.. He smiled on me and tried to make a joke a little..But, i didnt wanna make him laugh so much which could make him cough.. GOd, i really pray that He would give my dad strength and health.. I want to see allrite again, be powerful and laughing with us again. I know, i have had a lot of disagreement with my dad about running the business.. But i love him.. and we know that we are connected together..
But this situation really put me on dilema.. Coz I am planning to go to Dubai at the end of next month.. I had to sign a contract and collecting all my documents.. I dont know wat should i do.. Is that okay for me to leave him alone in here to achieve wat i wanna do.. YOu know, i have been waiting for the moment to go abroad to work.. But, i dont think the time is right, right now..? Gosh.. !!! I have ever said before that i have done all i could to go overseas, but if God doesnt want me to go, then i couldn do anything..
so good to get home today.. specially because i didnt have any sleep last nite.. I was in singapore for 5 days, having hollidays with my sister and her daughter.. It was sooooo good.. well, the first 3 days, as usual we went shopping all the times.. u know my sister, j ephie, she loves shopping very much !!!..It was good tho, i spent so much money on clothing also i bought Ipod nano and a new LG mobile phone ..YAY !!!!.. But, yeah all was great but the money was not..!!
THe most greatest things was i met my old high school and uni friends..!! I met Eddra, Felix ( i havent met them for 5 years ) , husen also cherlyn and nony and pavaan(ICHM) . IT was amasing to see them again.. Everyone has grown up and changed a lot.. gosh, u know, we all really think about our life now..what we gonna do and wat we will we..Meeting with them just giving me support and encouragement to be big..to choose my own adventure and growing for that..So, yeah, first of all i went with husen and felix to their place..then, catching up with eddra for meal in HOlland village.. Then afterward at 10.30 i met up with Cherlyn and NOny in Clarke quay for drinks till 2 o clock..Then i gotta rush to the hotel to go to the aiport to catch a flight!!! so, really didnt sleep..till 6.20 in the mornning..!!
As soon as i got on the PLAne !! SLEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP the whole trought..i didnt even get a breakfast..heheh..that was the fasted flight i ever had..!!!
Singapore was GREAT this time.. once again, people do make a different in ur holidays rite..!!!..
