After watched Pirates of Carribean: At World's End I end up with the following points:
* Get in the line as early as you can or you'll get the front seat
* Avoid visit toilet during movie or you'll lose the amazing battle scene and worse, by the time you return you have no idea what the hell had had going on and why does Will suddenly stand side by side with Jones, consider just a moment ago they two almost kill each other.
About the movie itself?
* Sparrow remains pathetic
* I don't see the use of Calypso
* What the hell had happened to Kraken? Did it sink and die?
* Pirates have no honor. The only thing matter is me, me and me. Else is nothing.

If you do not know then learn.
If you are blank then ask.
We will always glad to teach but if you have all what you need and still come to us then I have nothing to say but how pathetic you are.
You are provided with all those tools in purpose so you can do it all by yourself, and you don't have to waste your time asking for our help, and you won't bother us anymore. If you still haven't get the idea then I suggest you to remove your brain and replace it with a better, highly sophisticated one.
Some users are definitely extremely lazy.

I just back from book store with a novel for me and three children books for Kayla plus two Detective Conan comics *for me, of course*. No need to say that they cost me a lot of money. Yeah it ends me up with one question: why are books here so expensive? If only they are less I might buy more. There were some about European war, also biography about several people those I like to bring them home but reality stopped me.
I was thinking about making a pre-order for the upcoming Harry Potter but think and think again, it'll be better if I wait. Just "Potter" after all (say that "Potter" in Snape's way, you'll get the idea). And I am waiting for the fifth Brown's novel. Something about the free mason.
I guess while the only thing the goverment care about is tax and more tax and even more tax, we can shop at the book store only once in two-three months. By the way now I need a bookshelf. A wooden-light colour with security key so there's no chance for Kayla to sneak into and turn them into pieces will be just fine.

I watch the video about Jakarta riot, May 1998. You can search for them in youtube. Use "Jakarta riot may 1998" as keyword. How nice and kindly people we have, huh? I just can't stop thinking how stupid they were. I surely like to see their face when they meet Izrail for by that time they'll regret what they did but there's no second chance. Perhaps the idea about Borg's assimilation on Indo people is not bad after all.

Become a problem solver sure it's great. I know my jobs desc does not hold that title but somehow I feel like that is what I am to be day by day. I don't mind to help if I can but I can't stand if I have to tell the same thing again and again.
The exhausting part is not to listen, not trying to figure out a solution but to apply the solution. First time you teach them they rarely pay attention. They will mostly ignore you because they think it's not that important, because they think there's still tomorrow, because they believe you are always available whenever they need you.
So the next week you have to tell them again and so for the third week and fourth just because they are way toooooooooooooooo dumb to understand how important it is for THEY THEMSELVES. Not you.
It is not worth to waste time for such kind of people but somehow you can't afford it. And I hate it.

I arrived at the office at precisely 06:15 am. The plus is I have the room for about at least the next an hour. First I did was examine the room. Some things have changed some remains. Second, turn the speaker on and start my mp3 playlist. Not Beyonce, not Christina Aguilera, not P Daddy, not any hip hop today. I miss my morning angel so Angel of the Morning (Abba) would be perfect. Next is All at Once (Whitney Houston), Through the Fire (Chaka Kan)and the rest is just following.
I need to keep my spirit high anyway.

Ketika kecelakaan transportasi (kereta, pesawat, etc..) terus terjadi, reaksi pemerintah masih sebatas bela sungkawa dan inspeksi sekedarnya. Ketika pemerintah Amerika menghimbau warganya untuk tidak menggunakan jasa airlines Indonesia mengingat track recordnya yang tambah turun belakangan ini, barulah semuanya kebakaran jenggot dan mendadak rajin inspeksi ke bandar udara.
Dan seperti biasa, semua action di atas sifatnya sementara dan sekedar lips service. Omong-omong soal airlines ini saya koq masih sering melihat penumpang yang:
1. Menelepon dengan volume yang bisa didengar orang sekelurahan saat roda pesawat baru menyentuh landasan, "Halo? Pak? Udah sampe!! Jemput ya!!!!"
2. Lari terbirit-birit mendahului penumpang lain saat menuju pesawat. Maksudnya mungkin supaya bisa dapat posisi wuenak. Lantas apa gunanya nomor kursi? *kecuali air asia mungkin*
3. Menyerobot antrian check-in diikuti kakek, nenek, keponakan, oom, tante dan tiga trolley penuh koper guede plus beberapa dus indomie yang diikat tali rafia hijau.
4. Bediri di gang pesawat saat pesawat sedang parkir dengan menenteng satu tas dan satu koper kecil. Jika dilihat gelagatnya sih, begitu pintu dibuka, niatnya mau terjun ke bawah.

Saya pernah bertengkar sengit dengan salah satu member di sebuah komunitas maya. Masalahnya sepele, dia ngotot kalau 3-in-1 adalah solusi terbaik -best of the best- buat ngatasin macet Jakarta. Disodorkan fakta kalau area 3-in-1 tetap saja macet, tetap keukuh. Dikasih tahu kalau sebagai imbasnya area non 3-in-1 jadi lebih macet lagi, semakin keukuh ngototnya. Pokoknya 3-in-1, titik. Haah!
Dan diskusi (kalau bisa disebut diskusi) jadi semakin konyol ketika dia berpendapat kalau space yang ditempati satu land cruiser di jalan bisa diisi dua karimun, jadi mobil besar adalah penyebab macet dan mari kita ramai-ramai naik mobil kecil. Sementara kenyataannya di lapangan ukuran mobil hanya berpengaruh pada ruang gerak yang diperlukan untuk manuver tapi tidak pada tingkat kepadatan di jalan. Untuk itu jumlah kendaraan yang berkumpul di satu area justru menyumbang poin terbanyak. Jadi pernyataannya malah kontradiktif pada solusi yang dicari.
Semakin parah karena bukannya membalas dengan argumen yang masuk akal dengan didukung data, ia malah melakukan serangan personal sementara kenal saja tidak. Sampai di situ saya sibuk berkerut kening tidak percaya di dunia ini masih ada mahluk yang begitu naif, childish dan tentu saja idiot. Di titik ini saya sadar orang ini tidak bisa diajak diskusi dan segera saya tinggalkan pembahasan tidak mutu itu, apalagi seorang member lain yang juga sudah senior ikut mengingatkan, "anak kecil buat apa diladenin?" Komunitas maya itu masih ada sampai sekarang dan ukurannya bertambah besar tapi semakin saya tinggalkan karena semakin banyak member yang masih anak-anak seperti dia dan semakin jarang member berkualitas dengan cara pikir matang yang bisa berdebat dengan dewasa.

Some people are definitely stupid. Can you be objective? If you want to argue with me then you better meet the following requirements:
1. Logical
2. Rational
3. Emotionless
4. Objective
If one of them is out of your reach then I'm sorry to say that you are not capable enough to be my opponent and I think it'll be better if you go home and learn more and may I suggest you to get the hell out of my way. I have no time to deal with a child.

Take a look at the following scenario:
If someday you go out to a place and you find out that most people there wear white/light color suit while the only person who wear black is you, what are you gonna do?
1. Turn around and going home to change
2. Stay but try to become invisible the best you can
3. Stay and keep cool calm confident like Mr. Bond
I take the last one. It takes courage to say A when the whole world says B. My question: do you have the guts? I know for years we've been taught that being difference is bad but don't you have your own opinion? If we never start to learn to accept differences, I guess we will always be the duck kwek-kwek. The whole world give their respect to the eagle in the sky, not a group of duck near the pond.

Kalau belakangan ini blog ini jarang diupdate maka cuma ada satu alasannya: saya sibuk. Sibuk mengurusi integritas data yang berubah-ubah melulu. Kalau ada yang bilang "don't change the winning team" maka saya bilang "don't change the winning system". Saya termasuk golongan yang kontra mengutak-atik system yang sudah solid dan battle proven. Lebih baik bikin baru dari scratch, dijamin hasilnya lebih greeng.
Saya sibuk dengan puzzle laknat ini. Ampunilah mereka yang membuatnya karena menyebabkan orang kecanduan. Dari kecil saya sudah suka puzzle, it's challenging dan puzzle yang ini berbeda dari yang sudah-sudah. Ketika postingan ini diketik, saya baru sampai level 59 dan belum beranjak dari situ. Stuck? Bukan. Saya tahu betul kemampuan diri saya sendiri dan selama soalnya masih dalam koridor logika, maka tidak ada puzzle yang tidak bisa saya pecahkan.
Masalahnya untuk memecahkannya berarti harus banyak googling dan wiki-wiki dan itu berarti waktu ekstra dan justru itulah yang belakangan ini tidak saya miliki. Gara-garanya? Baca lagi paragraf pertama.
Saya juga sibuk menekuni pekerjaan ala Roy Suryo, apalagi kalau bukan menganalisa foto-foto "natural" lalu berkomentar "itu asli". Bedanya, saya baru sampai tahap pertama dalam menganalisa yaitu memelototi obyek dan kelihatannya saya akan lamaaaaaa sekali di sini.
Terakhir saya juga sibuk menghadiri undangan meeting-tanpa-snack-dan-minuman-dan-selalu-dekat-jam-pulang. Bukan, saya bukan jadi pembicara utama di situ atau jadi tetua yang dimintai nasehatnya tapi semata-mata karena di situ masih ada satu bangku kosong dan rasanya aneh kalau tidak ada yang menduduki, maka jadilah saya diundang.
