The Day with a Selfish People

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Actually I don’t want to blame or talk about somebody or about his bad attitude. I just want to share my opinion and feeling about his attitude. It really bothering me….

In the place where I stay now, there is a people that (in my opinion) a little selfish and arrogant. For the first time, me and my indo’s friend just laughing and commentaring his attitude, just very different from indonesian people style. We just thinking that maybe it is his country style, but then we see that some of his friends are not like that. I know one of his friend that very polite and good. But what I see today is really disturbing me.

He really "addicted" to internet. Every time we have a break or finish our class, he will be the first one who go out of the class and go to the internet corner in here. It becomes more disturbing when I saw in the lunch time, he put his laptop and plug in the internet cable

at the internet corner, then he write in the paper "do nut plug out the Lan cable", put it at the top of his laptop. After that he will go out for lunch maybe around 30 minutes or 1 hour.

What a selfish people! If there are another people want to use the internet, then they cannot use it for just his "stupid" attitude. Oh my God… this is the first time I see this "unusual" habit!

Today, after the trainer say "We finish our class today", all the class are discussing about the schedule with the trainer, after that we "really" finish the class. When i go out, I just wondering why he is not be the first one who go out but his friend. But, after I arrive at the internet corner, I see him already sit at his "favourite" place and online. Wow, I’m very surprised! I even don’t see when he go out. I ask my indo’s friend and they say that he go out "immediately" after the trainer say "we finish our class today". I can’t say anything again about this guy!!!

Another people behaviour also iritating me today. He plug out internet cable from my laptop when I still download my email (in that time I go to class just around 1 minute to take my bag). And I’m very surprised that he don’t say anything, even just "sorry". Really don’t know whether this is a "habit" for them.

Every people have their unique habit and behaviour, sometimes it not suitable for people from other country, or maybe it not always "habit" of his country but more about the wrong education from the family. It’s not their fault, just it is better if they try to a little sensitive with the environment around them, such as friends.

Remember, you will not always meet a patience friends, sometimes you will meet a high temperamental friends. So, my life’s principle is don’t ever make problems with the people around me. It is better to add a new friends rather than add a new enemy…

Have a nice day!

The Day when We Should Learn from Dolphin

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Yay…finally finish my test, can sleep well tonight  =)

Last night I dream something very weird. I dream about something impossible. I can’t tell in here what is my dream about, but it seems like a happy and impossible one. If my dreams come true then it must be a miracle, hahaha…. So I’m not hoping so much, maybe it just about what my heart want to be, but not my destiny.

Today I do the final test for the first topic, not that bad… Luckily I came late for the test because I need to extend my visa first at immigration office, so we miss the first part and directly do the second part test. The trainer ask us to do the first part test after finish the second part. It almost 4.30 PM and we should do so many confiuration, so I think the trainer also want to go back earlier and she cut some data configuration, it become so simple…. I’m really surprised that she give us this kind of test…. hahaha…. Anyway I like it =)

Oh ya, on saturday we hang out to Siam Paragon. It just because I’m so bored and lazy to study, need some refreshing, so let’s go! Just a little shopping and go to bookstore to find some interesting books. Luckily my friend found a 3D cinema at the top floor of the mall. So good! Somebody offering 3D Superman movie ticket cost 220 baht. Can you imagine? It’s 3D, I never found any in jakarta, so we decide to buy it for friday show, can’t wait to see it. That night we try to watch just a 50 minutes 3D movie about sharks. It’s sooooo good! We feel like under the sea, the sound effect very good and the picture so great! Just imagine if we watch "Harry Potter" or "The Lord of The Ring" here, must be sooooo great!

The one that makes the movie interesting is about the dolphin. Only a little story about it, but really touch my heart. Most of the story about sharks, how they live and struggle, some of them even eat each other. But it is very different with dolphin. Dolphin’s mother always protect their child very well, swimming together, and keep their child save. In one show, they saw us when a dolphin are hunted by sharks. The mother always protect their child, never left alone, even in the critical situation. Finally there is a bigger dolphin came and save them.

I just imagine and compare it with human. Human is almost like a shark, they killed each other. Bombs and wars every where. Many people died, children lost their parents, the powerful one suppressed the weak, rich people become richer, and the poor one become suffering. Why don’t human study from the dolphin?

I hope human can be like a dolphin. The powerful protect the weak, the rich one help the poor, no war and bombs, every body live peacefully. Is it possible?

Maybe if every people lost their selfish, arrogant, dictator, and greedy feelings then the new world become brighter. I hope that someday human can live happily ever after, live side by side peacefully, love each other from the deepest heart…

The Day with an Old Friend

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

So happy…I met an old friend in Bangkok, he just email me and say that he stay in Bangkok. I just think that he will stay here for a long time, so I ask him to go out on saturday, but he say that tomorrow he already go back to jakarta. Fortunately I finish my class earlier, so I decide to go to his hotel and then we go out together.

Yay, we go out to Suan Lum Night Bazaar, my favourite place in Bangkok! We have dinner together, he treat me actually, and I accompany him for shopping. What a nice day, we go around and he is looking for some goods for his wife, child, and friends. We talk about so many things, from jobs, friends, and future. finally he send me back to my hotel. Thank you for the day! You already accompany me too, so I’m not feel bored =)

Actually he is some of the first people I know when I join Huawei. He gives me some so much support and suggestion to stand on. He looks like my father at Huawei. Now, he already left Huawei and find a better future. Time goes so fast, I just think that I just met him for a while, but actually 1 year has passed. New day has come. Friends come and go. I just thinking about my other "old" friends. It just like yesterday we did the projects together, laugh, play, and chat. But now they already go. I couldn’t find their face again around.

Just like yesterday I found them in front of my desk, or come to my desk to discuss something, go out for lunch, watch cinema, and work until night together. But I can’t find them again, different people sit in their desk. I really miss my "old" friends. Miss to do what we used to do.

Today, another friend left me again, a special tutor, friend, colleague, and devil. He helps me so much, he answers all my question patiently (even the most stupid one), he teaches me when I don’t know anything, he cheers up my heart when I feel sad, and he makes me laugh with all his behaviour. Friend, thank you so much for your help and support, advice and suggestion, patience and honesty, jokes and smile. Sorry for disturbing you so much, I know that I’m not a good angel, hehehe….. A little wishes for you: luck, health, happiness, and success. My pray always be with you. Hope our friendship will never end =)

Special thank’s also to my "old" friend that email me today. He always give a big support during my time in Huawei. The one who always called me "little sister". You always be a "big brother" in my heart. Thank you for supporting me until today. Hope you can start your new business successfully.

I always think that the one who left me, especially all my "old" friends, is leaving for a good reason, a better future, and a successfull life. That makes me proud of you. I will let you go, fluttering your wings, and find a better place in a new world. Good luck to all of you. You always be in my heart!

So, i just want to sing to all of my friends:

That’s What Friends Are For

And I never thought I’d feel this way
And as far as I’m concerned
I’m glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for

Well you came in loving me
And now there’s so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we’re apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Regards,
Your friend @ thai

The Day with Father’s Day

Monday, June 19th, 2006

For All fathers in the world, happy father’s day! You are the inspiration, leader, husband, and father for your family. For all new fathers in Huawei, congratulation! Hope you can be a good father for your child. Enjoy your day by stayed up all night =)
Especially for my dad, you are my hero, the best dad in the worlds. I love you so much =)
Thank you for your loves and cares, you are my inspiration!

I feel very ashame because I really don’t know about father’s day. I just knew it in the church, the priest prayed for all the fathers in the world. But, now I know that 18 June belongs to all fathers, hahaha…

We have fathers day, mothers day, and children’s day…. but I don’t know why we don’t have girl’s day =)

Golden_teakwood_mansion Sunday means holiday!
Me and my friends went to Vimanmek teakwood Mansion and Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall. This place are in the same area, a palace of the previous king, king Rama 5. Vimanmek is the world’s largest golden teakwood mansion. King Rama 5 ever lived at this palace for 5 years. A very beautiful palace. From the name, we can know that this mansion are made by wood. They keep the inside clean, so we must take out our shoes. So many beautiful handycraft, porcelain, and goods inherited by king rama 5. Most of the goods came from England, Japan, and China. It has 72 rooms, but only opened for public around 30 rooms. I like the view and the building so much. Hope I can have one in the future. The one I like most is the piano, it’s a baby grand piano, very old one, made by wood, the tuts are made by mahogany’s wood, I think the sound must be very beautiful. I like the living room there, not so big but comfortable for a happy little family, really a perfect house. I can imagine when the king and his family sit together, chat, or watch TV, looks like very warm. So pity we cannot take picture inside, only can take it outside, but it was raining…

Ananda_samakhom_throne_hall Then we went to Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall. If you ever watched TV, you will know that this place where the king celebrated his 60th anniversary of been crowned. The king stood on the balcony and waved to all thai’s people who already waited for him outside. The royal guest also took a picture with the king on this place. This building are made by marble from Italy, the architecture is very beautiful. So many sculpture at the wall and the roof, the picture looks like tell a story about heaven and the angels, really amazing…. makes me want to go to Europe… Inside, we stay and sit a while, just to see all the sculpture, just imagine how the worker did all the carving. Two thumbs up for thailand!

In the other hand, I also heard that there were bombs in south of thailand, around 50 bombs. The first news I heard from my mother, she sms me asking about my condition here. I said to her that nothing happen in Bangkok, I didn’t know about this news because I seldom watched TV, the channel mostly in thai language, don’t understand. I just knew this news from newspaper. Every morning I get english newspaper called "Bangkok Post" from hotel. I really surprised, it was 50 bombs. Oh My God! I chat with my friend today, and he is saying that he is doing projects in south of Thailand. I just tell him to take care of himself, hope you will be ok!

"God, please give your love and protection to people in south of Thailand, hope they life in peace. And for all the victim who has been killed, please receive them in your side and release all their sins, give a strength to the family they had left. For all the people who has been injured, please heal their pain and give them a strength to forgive the bomber. May there always be a peace in Thailand, also in Indonesia. Amen"

The Day with Unusual Birthday Party

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Blow_the_candle Yesterday I celebrated my birthday party that very different from my usual celebration. In the morning I went to the Grand Palace. It is the main palace of the king, The palace were very beautiful, with a lot of temple and unique shape. So many beautiful sculpture on the wall, mostly they used gold as the main colour. So pity we couldn’t enter the main castle. They forbid us, maybe the king is inside?

In the afternoon I went to suan lum night bazaar with Nara, Hamdaner, and Firman. I treat them a dinner. I met a stranger in Suan Lum, european tourist, he gave me a dinner coupon cost 5 Baht, really surprised because it was like a "little birthday gift" from somebody that I didn’t know. Thank you sir, I didn’t know why you gave it to me on my birthday.Princess_at_the_palace

After the dinner we played a "giant wheel", the same as Dufan, there we called it as "bianglala". Very great, I blowed up my candle when our gondola reached the top of the giant wheel. It was a little difficult to light a candle there because the wind so strong. They sing a happy birthday song to me. Then I cut my cake there also. My friends took a beautiful picture and another recorded it with his handycam. What a great experience! It was my first time celebrated my birthday at "giant wheel", what a fantastic one =)

The_giant_wheelThis is my first time celebrate a birthday party with an unusual way. Usually every time I celebrate a birthday, I always spend it with my family. In the morning, my sister wake me up with a birthday kiss, then my mother hug and kiss me. She already served a special breakfast for me. My mom always make my birthday cake, special for me, her lovely daughter =)
My sister and my mom then give me a birthday present. I always remember that my youngest sister is addicted to a present. She always want to open my birthday present even I still want to open it later. At night, I will celebrate it with my "big" family". With my aunt, uncle, and my cousins. We have dinner together at the restaurant. Then they will sing a birthday song to me, blow the candle, cut the cake, and take a "family" picture. It was a  part of my life for every year. It becomes a habit for me…

I really miss that day, that habit, even I was happy with the way I celebrated it this year. I miss my mom’s cake, kiss, and hug. I miss the time when we have dinner together. Last year,I also passed my "birthday" without my family. I was in Medan and still do some projects there, so sad… But 3 days after my birthday, I came back to Jakarta and they celebrated my belated birthday party =)
Since I worked, for the last 2 year, I passed my birthday party without my family. I don’t know how about next year…. I hope next year, I can celebrate it together with the people I loved, my family…
I received so many emails and sms from my friends. The first sms was came at 00.01 AM from my sisters, so touched my heart, they still wake up until midnight only to sent a warm greetings to me, love you so much sis! Somebody sent email, and he said that he sing a birthday song for me… actually I couldn’t hear your voice, so next time please sing louder, hahaha….

Friends, thank you for all your emails and sms’, it means a lot to me… you always be in my heart, now and forever!

"Friends are quite angels, Who life me to my feet
When my wings have trouble, Remembering how to fly
Special friends know me inside and outside, They know what my hopes and dreams are about
Special friends always look out for me , They give me support and advice I can  trust
Special friends gladly go to the extra mild to do something nice that makes me smile"

The Day with a Boring Life

Friday, June 16th, 2006

I feel sooooo boring right now!

First, I attend a training that not really interesting. Do not make me think so much. Second, the trainer explain something very slowly and makes me sleepy. Third, I trap in thailand with a big room which don’t have internet connection and interesting TV’s channel. Fourth, There isn’t any body that accompany me in the room. Fifth, all the command is standard and same, the configuration is too easy, can’t practice in the lab, they give us data that not belongs to the lab’s equipment, can’t troubleshoot! Sixth, I don’t have such a funny friend to accompany me. Seventh, if I list all the cause you will be boring to read, hahaha…

Here really makes me stupid, I don’t use my brain optimally. Do not have so much challenge’s case. I really like my jobs in jakarta before, so much challenge, makes you thinking every day. So many friends to discussed with.

I’m jealous with my friend in jakarta, they face so many interesting case and problems, so many challenging jobs! I receive some question from my friend there, and it’s make me think more, but very interesting. When can I join you guys?

Yay, the test is over…. Not that difficult, but the configuration is  a little strange, you will never found that in the "real" projects!

Modesta bring me a good news today, yes…. I want to do it! If the MSC moved to Bali, I will go there and reconfigure it, you can join Mod, and I will tell you all about our MSC. We can do it together, it’s nice to work with you girl…you are so smart =) But I think it is better if you put the equipment room near Kuta beach, hehehe…

Another shocking news… my youngest sister get the first rank in her class… IMPOSSIBLE!!! You never study may, how do you get it?

There is a strange guy who always walk behind me when I use the internet, sometimes he is laughing…weird! I don’t like him stay beside me =(

Oh ya, we have a new Indonesian guy in here, different class, from subcon. But I feel so pity to him, he lost his suitcase after arrived at the airport. He hasn’t changed his cloth for 2 days and he looks like very confuse….

Just now I chat with my friend from india, a classmate, he say something very funny. He say that he likes the way I explain…. What? I think I never explain something… but ask so many question, hahaha…. Ok, just forget that strange words!

I’m a little exciting…. tomorrow is my birthday and I have a plan to go to the king palace. I will celebrate my birthday there, hope the king will give me a gift, hahaha… So, my friends have you prepare a gift for me? Don’t worry just send it to thailand… And I will treat you all, but you must come to here, hehehe…

Miss you all…

The Day with an Interesting Article

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

When I browse a news in internet, I found an interesting article. The topics of the article is "The sequence of birth will Influence the successful of people"

In this article they analyze that the first child on family is a very carefull, ambitious, and agressive comparing to their sister/brother. They usually reached a higher education. Mostly people who get Noble Prize and President of US are the first children on their family. usually the first child is the most success one.

The middle child are a kind of pople who are very friendly and loyal to their friends because they don’t get enough attention on the family, so they try to get an attention from the other people. The famous people in the world mostly are a middle child.

The youngest child is a very creative and interesting people, the family always think that he/she still a small child, so they try to get the same treatment as the other child. Usully they success to be an entertainer or people who works on art.

Is it true?

I will try to analyze myself. I was the first child of my family. Maybe I’m a kind of people that very carefull on do and decide so many thing. I will think more before I make a decision. But it doesn’t mean that I am an ambitious and aggresive. Usually the first child have a bigger responsibility, so it will make them decide something carefully. They sometimes looks like a "leader" of the family because of their position and it will make they looks like a little "bossy" to their brother/sister. I admit this one… but to be the first child not that easy. You need to think about so many thing. My sister will follow my request but also my attitude. If I am lazy… then they will be lazy too (actually yes… they follow my habit of being lazy, hahaha). But to be the most success one? I don’t think so… I think my sister are more successful than me. She is smarter than me! She get a scholarship to study abroad and soon will become a great dentist…

In the other hand, it is also a big pressure for me. My mother hope that I can be like her. Get a scholarship and continue to get my master degree abroad… How difficult ! I’m not that smart, mom… To get a higher education, I think my mom will make me as a standard for my sister. So, if I get a master degree then my mom will tell my younger sister, "you can follow your sister to get a master also, dear!"… hehehe… My lovely sister, your future also in my hand =)

Talking about education, i don’t know why my mom like to push us to get the highest education… Before, my friend offering me to take master and Phd degree together only by 5 years abroad… Oh My God, I reject that! For me, a Phd degree too frightening. When I told that to my mom, she only say "I think it’s a great opportunity for you"… NOOOOOO… I don’t want…. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life just for study, study, and study! If just a master, I will consider it.

Talk about my youngest sister, she is far from creative. I think art is not her ability. She is sooooo lazy! You are the laziest people in our family sis!

So, I can conclude that the theory is not correct…

Oh, tomorrow I have a test and right now I still confuse of some issue. I’m sure that my trainer is wrong! I try to ask her, but now she run away from me!!! How can she do that to me?

Couldn’t imagine how to face the test tomorrow….

Wish me a good luck friends!

The Day with the Broken Air Con

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

HOT!!!

The air con in the training center don’t work well, I feel very exhausted  =(

How can we study in this situation? Makes me want to run away from the lesson and go back to hotel… thinking about my comfortable bed… Actually the lesson today is not really interesting, how can the trainer explain about 4 command and takes almost 1.5 hour? I’m very sleepy… It is better to study and read document by myself. I think if I do it will not take 1.5 hours just for 4 command!

I more interested on what Janty do and ask my suggestion about the request from customer, really makes me think more…

Do you know that this morning my friend ask me a weird question. He say like this: "Irene, why a girl if feel so lonely will mope or angry to his boyfriend?"

I only can laugh, I don’t know the answer…. Then I think again about it, and I find that not all the girls like that.. I’m not! I’m not that type of girl, I would not makes people feel sad if I was sad. I will let people only know that I always happy, let all the sadness belongs to "me" but not belongs to others. Other people already have their own problems, so don’t give my problems to others… That’s a principle of my life  =)

What about you?

Bad News!!!

Just now I try to continue writing my blogs using internet connection at hotel, but I can’t get IP… I think the hotel already know that I always “steal” their internet connection so they block it! Hiks….  How smart they are  ;’(

Ok, no problem, I will try again tomorrow, just hope it will work again

I think today I feel so guilty to my trainer… Yeah, I ask her some question and seem that she also confused of my questions. I just don’t feel so comfortable to look at her confusing face, looks like she beg me not to ask some question that she don’t know the answer. So sorry…

Actually somebody ever told me not to ask some difficult question on the class, just ask privately to her after the class. I follow your suggestion guys, but then I think she still looks so pity. I really don’t know that my questions are too difficult for her. I don’t hope that she always answer my question, I think no body really know all, you also human right, not God! So please, don’t feel too depressed on me….

I am watching TV while I am writing this blogs. I see a TV channel about skating competition, every skater is an expert. They are skating very beautiful! Makes me remember about my skating time with Janty, Xuhang, Songdejun, and Xiajiejiang. It’s really a great time for me. So funny looking at you try to skate on the ice, especially Xuhang, you really need more practice. No problem, I can be your trainer, but then you must pay me very expensive, hahaha… Next time, we should spend a time to play skating again guys!

The Day About Lying

Monday, June 12th, 2006

I just want to share my feeling about last night. Actually last night we were using internet in hotel, the hiding port in a living room, then there is another guest across our room and asking whether we can use internet there, and I answer that we couldn’t use internet, only study together….. Do you know, after say that I feel so guilty to lie to him. Sorry sir, I didn’t mean to lie to you  but if i told the truth, I was afraid that every people would know about it, and if the people from hotel knew, I was afraid we couldn’t get free internet connection again. Maybe I was so selfish…

Do you feel so guilty if you lie to someone? I do! But sometimes lying is not always bad, sometimes hiding the truth is better than if you know the truth. But if I lie just because to "save" myself, it means I’m so selfish…. What a bad angel!

Last night, before I went to sleep, my heart feel so uncomfortable, I couldn’t tell the reason why, but then I try to pray, I told Him that I gave all myself to Him, and let Him found the best way to me… It’s remarkable, after that I felt so peaceful and could sleep well. Praying is really my strength to stand on!

This morning, i do a stupid thing… Very stupid! I left the key of my room when I want to go for breakfast… I just realize after I closed the door. Finally, I find a housekeeper and ask her to help me to open my room, I feel very ashame of it…

I just receive news from my sister, she said that my youngest sister got 100 for her science test… WOW! Congratulation to you, may! But then I wondering how do you get it, are you cheating? I know, you never study at home, mom always angry to you because you are so lazy…. hahaha…

Just now, I chat with my friend in beijing, we talk about our day in university before, really miss that day nan! I promise to you that if you come back to jakarta, I will spend my time with you, Jipy, Wena, Lisa, Pat2, and other girls to go out together =)

Friendship is number one rught? And also thank you for your invitation to go to beijing, I really glad, if I have time I will go to visit you there… and you will be my tour leader, hehehe….

Oh ya, I found an interesting cake in here! I don’t know the name, but I will call it as "sausage roll" because the cake is consist of sausage and rolled with a very thin cake, delicious. I think it will be my favourite food, it only cost 3 baht each, so cheap!

I see in TV today, the king is inviting all the royal guest to have dinner at his palace, what a beautiful palace! All the royal guest wear a beautiful gown, all the queens and princess wear a crown, they are so pretty, the royal’s lifestyle really interesting =)

I just imagine whether I can be a part of them, I know it is impossible… I’m not hoping to be a queen or princess with a crown on my head, I just want to be an ordinary girl with a "crown" in my heart, and I think it is more difficult than you have a crown on your head. Could I?
