Midnight Snow Shower !

14th December 2010, finally first snow shower in Nanjing ! kinda crazy to went downstairs and having fun in the middle of the cold snowing night, but still enjoy it =)

sorry for those who got interupted by the noise we created at that night though !

2010.12.14 - 10.07 AM

The weather forecast told that on 15th of December, there is a probability of snow, so I was still waiting until the date, but today in the class, exactly 10.07 AM, I turned my head to the left side which is the position of the window, starring at the blowing wind and drizzle (yes it was cold today ! so damn cold !) and I realize there is something different falling from the sky, it's not rain, it falls beautifully just like in children's fairytale, it is snow.

Snow or not ?

Weather forecast :
Date : Wednesday, 15th December '10
Location : Nanjing, Jiangsu
Weather : Rain or Snow, 4 degrees C.

Hopefully, next wednesday i can see snow falling from the sky with my own eyes =)

Now I Know How Hard is Skating

Woah, what a nice day which is ruined by pain in the ass, arms, back, .... okay, honestly, whole body.
It was fun though, to skate together, especially for beginner like me, accompanied by another beginner such as Yan, Feb, Gaby, and pro-skater like Paulus, Anin, and Ban.

奥体中心 (Olympic Stadium), is the place where we spent our evening till night. Not forget to mention, i did fall thousands of times, which makes a little bruises on my palm, and heavy pain on back, neck, and ass.

But still, it was fun, and still wishing to skate again someday =)

Missing Highschool

Another empty Tuesday noon has came, got no classes, got nothing to do, and remembering 'what usually I did at this time around a year ago?'

Yeah, highschool memories, again, lighten my day up !
I still remember how it feels when I got Mr. KL's first math class with his "INTEGRAL" paper given to the whole class, how Mr. FR gave us his first physics class with everyone were still paying attention, how Mrs. YS wrote her name in the board for introduction of herself, how Ms. ME came into class with chemistry books in her hands, how I still paid attention to Mrs. VL's Bahasa class, and how I started to take the extra-class after school.

Time goes, exams came and gone, it just turned to a whole different life. I still remember how it feels when Mr. KL's mentioned my name and asked me to come forward and answer his 'deadly' math problem, how I used to asked my friends the answer to the 'deadly' math problem, how I used to 'copy' my friend's chemistry homework before getting caught by Ms. ME, how I used to get into small groups to discuss Mr. NP's physics problems, while Mr. FR's physics class now only got 5 students who still focus on the lesson, how I used to play cards without being catched in Mrs. VL's class, and how it feels when I must get re-exam because I did'nt pass at the first test, although I've learnt so damn hard in class, extra-class, or at home.

Time goes again, now it was the time where National Examination were close, means we were close to the Graduation either. I still remember how I used to search universities in the internet, how I must took extra-classes from school on Saturday because the National Exams were near, I still remember how kind are our teachers turned out to be, I started to realize that all of their 'fierce behaviours' all those times really meant for something good, how me and my friends counted number of weeks left in school before we ended it up, how me and my friends gather in one of our home to learn for practical examination, and how it feels when we really ended it all up.

I still remember how I hate Civilizations class and the exams, how I counted numbers of history class' tests before I will never get it again for the rest of my life, and how I hate to woke up in 5.30AM to went to school with examination on the first class of the day... However, things are getting weirder here.. Now, I miss how it feels to read history class' text book, how it feels to gathered in small group to discuss physics problems, how it feels to sat at the back of the class wondering "what time is it now? when will this chemistry class over?", and how it feels to found there are homeworks I haven't made, which forced me to 'copy' it all from others frantically, knowing the lesson is about to come in any minutes.

But that's life, keep on changing into another steps of life, the only options that life offers are take it or leave it. Now I know that me, and all the friends of mine, have been on the different tracks, but I know one thing for sure..

Godtower - The Skill of God

It just came through my mind, yeah, the old game.
This game is kinda old actually, and I played it since I was still in Junior Highschool.
It is more than a puzzle, game riddle, or "mystery solving" game and it is a really GREAT brain teaser. For you who likes 'smart' games, Godtower is perfect for you, just log on into http://www.godtower.com/ and you'll find everything that I mean, cause actually, I can't tell a lot about this game, you should've just try it though.

*Note : sometimes, you'll need to search facts or data needed to solve the levels from google, don't be surprised, this game is seriously smart!

Several Basic Rules and Instructions of Godtower (written in the web, but I'll conclude it for you who are too lazy to read) :
1. ) On each level, you'll be given a picture to solve. You can read the main clue on the title bar of your browser.
2. ) For some levels, it is possible to have a several pictures to lead you to the answer, for example, Godtower level 3, you can find an arrow symbol in the right-top-corner of the first picture. Click it, and you got the second picture. Combine the first picture, the second picture, and the main clue to solve level 3.
3. ) All answers are NOT in capital letters, and  no SPACES are required (example : you think the answer is 'Sweet Honey', then just input 'sweethoney')
4.) I know, maybe some of you will get confused, but it's okay, just play and you'll understand.

Now, I'll help you with the first 3 levels, to prevent you to get confused in the beggining..

LEVEL 1 :
The main clue is "Name of this place."
You're given a picture of a world map, with a silhouette of an airplane somewhere on it. Not forget to mention, below the map, there's something looks like numbers and letters, but it's not.. Maybe some of you guys will now realize something is wrong in the picture. If you're one of those guys, then you're damn right! The picture has got something wrong, it is ALL reversed, and you should use a mirror to make it into a real world map, and of course, a real 'word and numbers'...

Ding dong,,,.. does it ring any bell? If still not, then continue reading this, but if you get any idea, try to solve it by yourself.

The letters shown after you use a mirror to read it is "GMT + 04.30" and it is a time-zone. You can check where is "GMT + 04.30" by right-clicking the time in your right-bottom-corner of your screen (if you're using Windows as your OS). The paths are : right-click, click adjust time and date, check for "GMT + 4.30" in the 'time-zone' tab, you should've find a name of a place. That's the password for level 1 =)

answer : kabul (I'll write all answers in white colour, block it to see, if you still can't find the answer)

LEVEL 2 :
The main clue is "The Hanged Man".
This level is actually much more easier from the first level, there is a picture of a Tarot Card, "The Hanged Man" card. The man is upside-down, right? Try to read the word written there upside-down too !

answer : solomon

LEVEL 3 :
The main clue is "Clock pointers will tell you."
Yes, level 3 is quite complicated, but just follow it easily, it's still the bottom 3 though =).. Okay, you'll get 2 pictures for this level, you can see the second picture by clicking the arrow at the right-top of your screen.
On the first picture, you'll get a picture of a flight schedule with 'check at time' sentence below. On the second picture, you can see 2 clocks, an analog one and a digital one, of course with note 'return to the analog time'.
In the first pict, you can see that on those schedules, some of them are marked with green light on the left side, and that means something. Now, follow the instruction given in the first pict (check at time) for those schedules on green light. Going on to the second pict, again, follow the instruction (take a look at the analog clock, ignore the digital one, and even those confusing 1998 or 1898. They are all diversion).

Does it ring any bell? Not yet? It's okay.. Keep on reading then..

Take a look at the first schedule with the green light :
LG   302   LUXEMBURG   930   13:25:15
Take the time, throw everything else away. Fit the time to the analog clock, you can imagine or draw a picture of an analog clock at 13:25:15. Do the clock pointers form a letter? Do the clock pointers tell you something? Yes they are. They give you the first letter of the password, as it is the first schedule. Oh, yes, the first letter is E.
Do the same thing for the rest of the green-lighted schedules, and you'll get the answer.

answer : evilcat
_______________________________________________________________

It's challenging right? I suggest you to play it right now ! Enjoy !

*Note : a lot of forums disscuss this game, so you still can get clues for levels above level 3 (clues, not answer. clues are more likely to 'guide' rather than 'answer'), However, you can just give up and type in the answers by searching it at google (yes, you can do it, but it won't be fun anymore).

Finally ! Windows in a MacBook !

Yeahh ! Finally I got my life back on !

Special thanks for Ban, Ken, and one other Taiwanese guy (sorry, I forget the name, blame my bad memory!) who had worked on it, so now I got a Windows in a MacBook for free !! (yeah, that what friends are for ! haha kiddin')

With all this 'Windows' stuff, including the Ms. Word, Powerpoint, Excel, iStat Menus, and of course, FREEGATE, now I can update my blog more frequent (yeah, China also banned blogs), using Facebook more comfortable, using YouTube instead of Youku, and everything that Mac OS can't do !

A Windows7 and Mac OS X in a MacBook Pro, Perfect !

Yes, a Windows in a MacBook, finally !

THANKS !!

Happy Birtday Aileen and Hendryan !

21 . 11 . 2010

Yep, the day when we finally regather again, through skype.

Nothing else to say except HAPPY BIRTHDAY AILEEN AND HENDRYAN !

Remember those cards?



Yep, exactly the same card we used to play with around a year ago, I still keep it all, even though it stinks, especially the 'winnie the pooh' one, cause no matter how bad those cards' physical appearance, everytime I look at those cards, my best memories appear. Times goes really fast eh? We even haven't played the 'Ben 10' cards, but it appears that we've already graduated from high school.. haha..

All the best wishes for you two !

Diggin' photos for a while, and found several photos. It comes across my mind "Can we regather again face to face just like our old times?" Must have taken a long long time I think, since we've been separated in a lot of different places. But someday, somewhere, I believe that we will regather again..!

麻将 Freak Out (Mahjong Freak Out)

Yeah, this happened two days ago (Thursday) when me and my Indonesian friends want to watch 'Resident Evil : Afterlife' in the night. We also invited Yan, our Vietnamese friend and Cesc, our Taiwanese friend. We did watch the movie and the movie is not so good, according to my opinion. We continued our night with playing cards and of course with chat, jokes, and sometimes always (yeah, not sometimes, but always), a hit. Yeah, a hit, Febrian always hit people around him when he laughs. Scary, I know, but that is his style (just kiddin Feb, haha..). After thousand sets of cards game, we got quite bored with cards, and so we took our mahjong box out from it's "nest". Cesc and Yan had never played mahjong before, so we taught them for a while (with Kevin's and Gavin's help), and they seem to understand the game easily. We played it all night long and we didn't pay attention for time, so we ended it up at 4.30 AM (to be honest, I was surprised when I took a look at the clock), while on Friday morning 9.40 AM, me, Feb, Gavin, and Yan got class (Yeah, Cesc didn't have class, so lucky!).

Miraculously, we all woke up on time. ..... Okay I lied, we didn't miraculously woke up, but Paulus woke us all up and we successfully attended class right in time, except for Gavin and Cesc (yeah Cesc didn't got class, but for Gavin... yeah you know, he loves to skip classes). So in the class, I was very sleepy and didn't pay much attention to the lessons, but the only thing I heard is the part when the teacher said that we won't have any classes in the afternoon, because the teacher is not in our campus. Yeah !

Well, by the time we got back to our dormitory, we took our lunch with our friends who just woke up (you should've known who). So after lunch, we again, played Mahjong and this time, Paulus joined us (finally he wanted to learn how to play this stuff ! that's good, haha). The game is kinda 'crazy' especially when Febrian were cursing bad words all the time and Paulus laughed all the time (don't ask me why he laughed, there's no reason, maybe his brain got infected by dust in Febrian's room, haha..). Oh yeah, this reminds me how DIRTY Febrian's room was, you can't imagine it, he got even 'macroscopic' dust in his room. If you're wondering what is macroscopic dust, it is an accumulation of dust which you can see with your naked eye in a 2 meters distance. Not forget to mention, everytime you move, you could see dust flying everywhere... Okay, the flying dust thing, I exaggerate it, but macroscopic dust thing, it's a 100% truth.

We got desperate and tired in the end, so Paulus and his 'crazy-dust-infected brain'  started to form words from Mahjong pieces and ended up with word 'Bitch'. Not his idea, I admit, but not purely mine as well =).

In the night, we continued playing Mahjong again and this time, more Taiwanese guys were coming, so besides Mahjong table, we also watched a movie. It was a lot of fun and again, ended up around 4.30 AM.

Yeah, it was really fun and hopefully we can have more fun times together again !

Wondering what's the white thing is? It's Febrian's dusty underwear.

Nementa dan Namna

Oke, judulnya emang frik banget, mungkin malah lebih kedengeran kayak nama witch2 jahat kembar yang biasa suka muncul di indosiar, tapi sebenernya ini bukan nama witch jahat kembar, tapi sebuah term bahasa inggris yang dikeluarkan oleh guru kimia gw..

Jadi, hal ini sebernya terjadi dari hari Kamis kemaren dimana gw jam 8 pagi ada kelas kimia, dan gurunya itu baru, jd gw ga ada bayangan sama sekali bakal kayak gimana, tapi yang pasti gw cuman berharap bahasa inggrisnya bakalan lebih fluent dan lebih jelas daripada guru kimia gw yang lama (nama guru kimia gw yang lama : Xu Guanhong). Oke, back to topik, jadi singkat cerita hari ini ternyata gw kaga bangun, alias baru bangun dari ranjang itu jam 8.05, sementara kelasnya sendiri itu jam 8. Jujur, gw jg agak takut pas nyadar telat, karena gw ga tau guru gw yang baru ini orangnya bakal gimana, apakah strict? apakah galak? Gw ga ada bayangan sedikitpun.. Gw memutuskan untuk masuk kelas jam ke-2 aja (jam 8.50) bareng Paulus sama Febrian (ya, mereka berdua juga gak ada yang bangun), soalnya bakalan jauh lebih etis masuk kelas saat istirahat (baca : berharap gurunya lg keluar) daripada lagi tengah kelas masuk dengan pedenya, apalagi kalo kita itu udah telat BANGET.

Singkat cerita, kita bertiga udah nyampe depan kelas dan emang lagi istirahat, tapi shitnya lagi itu si guru baru ini (mukanya jauh lebih intelek daripada si Xu Guanhong. No offense buat Xu Guanhong) ternyata ga keluar kelas, jd mau ga mau gw sama Febrian dan Paulus dengan segala kehandalan kita berusaha masuk tanpa sepenglihatan si guru baru ini, dan akhirnya ....................... Sukses. Karena ini lagi istirahat, jadi gw sama Paulus memutuskan buat duduk deket barisan Anin, Gaby, sama Yan. (yap, Febrian lebih milih dibelakang, udah desperate mungkin buat duduk di depan, hehe..). Begitu nyampe di tempat Anin, Gaby, sama Yan, pertanyaan gw cuman 1 ke si Gaby, “Gab, ni guru gimana?”. Si Gaby bilang “Lu liat aja nanti, gw jadi kangen sama si Xu Guanhong sekarang”. Firasat gw langsung ga enak, tapi ya gw iya-in aja dulu.

Bel bunyi, si guru ini langsung ambil mic. Keren memang, bagaikan tak mau rugi sedetikpun pelajaran dia. Gw sempet liat tulisan di papan tulis, ada tulisan “Yang Xu Shu” lengkap dengan kanji2nya yang rumit, membuat si guru ini terlihat lebih intelek lagi (kesimpulan gw sekarang, yang akhirnya terbukti benar, nama si guru ini Yang Xu Shu). Dia langsung fokus ke powerpointnya yang lagi bercerita tentang bab Atom. Kalo masi pada inget, ini bab tentang Atom Bohr, spektrum2 dll gt.

Begitu dia mulai ngomong, gw langsung merhatiin, tapi lama kelamaan (ga lama juga sih) gw mulai menyadari sesuatu yang aneh. Ada 1 hal yang ganjil, yaitu : Gw ga tau dia lagi ngomong bahasa apa. Oke, I know, this is a worst thing, dan gw langsung nanya ke Gaby, “Gab, dia ngomong bahasa apa sih? Inggris??” si Gaby cuman ketawa2, gw menyimpulkan itu sebagai 'Ya'.

Selama 40 menit kedepan, gw bener2 desperate dengan inggrisnya si guru ini, dan gw ga membesar2kan, ini emang beneran parah. (bukan maksud gw jahat, gw juga jujur bukan orang yang jago sekali akan inggris, cuman kalo kalian ada disitu, mungkin akan berpikiran hal yang sama).

Berikut ini adalah list kata2 yang terucap oleh si guru ini, untuk mempermudah, tiap kali gw nulis e dalam kata akan gw bagi menjadi 2 buah e, e biasa berarti dibaca seperti e dalam kata 'ekor', dan e miring&bold akan dibaca seperti e dalam kata 'emas'. Here comes the words (ini gw tulis seperti bagaimana kata2 itu terdengar) :

1. Nementa and namna   (ternyata Momentum dan Lamda)
2. Anam                         (ternyata Atom)
3. Mitnait                       (masih unknown, kedengeran kayak midnite bioskop)
4. Enemit                        (ternyata Energy Light)
5. Speed of Night           (ternyata speed of light)
6. Witness                      (ternyata wave length, keren ya?)
7. Panic                          (ternyata Vanish)
8. I have fried                 (ternyata I have tried, beda tipis, arti beda jauh)
9. 6 to the power of 10   (ternyata 10 pangkat 6, bukannya harusnya 10 to the power of 6 ya?)

Yap, itu beberapa yang terparah, kesalahan kecil2 masih cincai deh, yang itu aja yang parah2 yang berhasil gw tangkap, please note, yang berhasil gw tangkap.

Gw kadang merasa untung gw ga masuk dari jam pertama, kalo gw masuk full class, mungkin gw bakalan nemu beberapa kata bahasa inggris baru yang bakalan terdengar kayak “Wigardium Leviosa” ato “Avadakedavra” nya si Harry Potter.

Sekali lagi, bukan maksud gw jelek2in dia, gw juga bukan orang yg perfect dalam inggris, cuman yah to be honest, untuk yang kali ini, gw terpaksa bilang “Fix your English boss..!”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INGRID

Happy Birthday for INGRID AMELIA !!

Hopefully all of your wishes come true and I am really sorry can't contact you at exact 00:00 AM, it's actually because I knew Hen2 would come to your home and brought you outside, so I decided just to wait until about one hours, but then I waited too long until about 4.30 AM and so I decided just to text you a happy birthday because you probably were sleeping.

The next day, I can't even touch my computer, so I can't surf the internet to contact you. When I was able to touch and surf the internet, I still couldn't find your name in my "Online Contacts List"..

Really sorry, but afterall, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
Gud Luck for your Dentistry at University of Indonesia =)

Happy Birthday Edo !

Happy birthday for my best friend Edward Christianto Ferrysienanda !

Hopefully all of your wishes come true and all the best for your university life in England !

Our little chat today with Aileen, Ingrid, and Hendryan today reminds me a lot of our times together when we were still at highschool, you know? So after our little chat, I took a look at our photographs, at the moments we spent together, and how we used to laugh and cry together.

The day when we skip chinese language class to make those "foot-graph", when we paint our uniform with markers in Mulok class, when we did those stupid experiments with olive oil and fat from meatballs, when Ms. Melissa said that out time before chemistry test is less then 24 hour and we still haven't got any ideas for the lessons, when we took extra class with Mr. AT and ended up with eating Indomie at the cafe, how I mocked Edo's useless eyes and the way how he surrendered against math tests (just kiddin okay?), when we played cards all the day long with Aileen and not even catched up by the teachers even once, those "flying dragon" things, and... wow I can't write them all, otherwise I'll spend my whole day typing in the computer. Oh yeah, not forget to mention, of course our Soto Asin Ceban and our unlimited lift, haha!

"Funny how a photograph, can take you back in time.. to places and embraces that you thought you left behind. They're trying to remind you, that you're not the only one"

Yeah, Phil Collins, you and your lyrics are so damn true..!

Miss you guys a lot, and wish us all the best in our life..

"So when we get a big jobs and we get a big money, when we look back now, will our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learn in school? Still be trying to break every single rule?" Yes it will !

Keep in touch guys !

Second Rank !

Yeah, congratulations guys from Nanjing Medical University International Students Basketball Team who successfully achieved the second rank !

From Left to Right (row 1) : Ben, Stanley, Said, ... , Leaf, Yan

From Left to Right (row 2) : 东东, Paulus, Cesc(谢岳霖), Ken

Sorry for one Taiwanese guy, I still haven't got your name yet, sorry..

So after all of your effort all this time, you all deserve second grade ! That's still great !

- You are still our WINNER -

But next time got the first rank okay? hahaha..

Gw Bangga Jadi Orang Indo !

Kejadian ini tepat terjadi waktu kemaren gw lagi ke kota sama tmn2 gw buat beli baju2 persiapan winter.. Jadi akhirnya begitu nyampe kota, kita lsg ke H&M (brand kayak Zara nya sini, cuman ga semahal Zara sih) buat nyari2 jaket, syal, dll.. Bagitu nyampe ke deretan jaket2, gw liat 1 jaket kayaknya modelnya bagus, jd gw ambil trus gw liat. Ternyata gw kaget begitu liat tulisan di belakang jaketnya yang tertulis "Made in Indonesia", dalem pikiran gw lsg "WOW! Gw jauh2 nyampe china jg ujung2nya ketemu barang indo lagi! Keren juga indo!", cuman pikiran bangga gw lsg dipatahkan sama kata2 tmn Vietnam gw yg lagi liat barengan sama gw tulisan itu. Dia blg dgn nyante "what the hell?", lsg gw bales blg "what the hell what? see? my products go international!", dia cuman senyum2, takut digebukin kali kalo ngomong 'what the hell' lagi, secara kita jalan bareng 5 org indo dan cuman dia 1 org vietnam, haha.. Masi ga percaya klo ada produk indo di toko kayak H&M, gw lsg nyari2 semua tulisan 'made in' di semua baju, kaos kaki, dll.. Norak sih emang, cuman yaudahlah, haha.. Ternyata ga dikit lho barang Made in Indonesia, buktinya gw nemu lg tuh kaos kaki Made in Indonesia..

Setelah selesai dari H&M, kita ke Deji Plaza, which is tempat kayak GI nya sini gt deh. Emang ga semewah GI sih, cuman ini kayak mall tmp brand2 kayak LV dll gt.. Kita kesini ga ke LV gt2nya sih, secara dompet ga kuat, jadi kita ke Nike Store.. Nah disini gw mo nyari jaket tebel (baca : paupau), gw ga tau itu istilah 'paupau' darimana, gw dikasi cuman dikasitau sama Paulus, roomate gw (mungkin gara2 nama dia ada pau pau nya gt kali ya?). Waktu gw lagi milih2 tuh paupau, tiba2 gw dikasi tau tmn gw, Febrian. "Eh anjrit, denger deh lagunya disini lagu indo!", spontan gw lsg perhatiin lagu di tokonya dong. Ternyata bener aja, gw ga tau itu sapa yg nyanyi, tp ada lirik bgini "Aku merindukanmu blablabla.... walaupun blablabla..." Kali ini gw yang reflek bilang "what the hell?". Gw bukan mencaci toko yg muter lagu indo ya, cuman gw kaget aja, ni hari ada apaan tiba2 semua berbau indo lagi..

Yah, keren sih, jd tadinya gw pikir hal2 berbau indo akan raib begitu gw terbang dari Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta, cuman ternyata engga ! Guys, banggalah akan Indonesia-mu, dia ternyata ada dimana2, haha..

CONGRATZ again !

Congratulations again for Nanjing Medical University International Students Basketball Team who made it to the final round.. Keep going guys !

*sorry I came so late that I only watched 10 mins of the game, not my will to did so..

iPhone4's Technological Issues

iPhone4's Camera Comparison



Damn ! Just take a few seconds to look at those images, and it really makes you want it right? Woah, those shinny flawless design, the amazing 5 megapixel camera, 30 fps high quality video recording, and yeah, I don't have to mention it one by one right? Don't worry, I did want it too.. Please note it, did.. Yeah, now I don't really want it so bad like I did 2 weeks ago, want to know why? Just keep readin' and you'll know why..

Unlike other previous version of iPhone, iPhone4 has both side covered (yes, front and back) by aluminosilicate glass, which is known as a shiny, glossy, and strong glass.. but still, in fact, strengthening glass to avoid scratching, which is what Apple did, makes it more prone to extreme shattering on shock. The reason: Aluminosilicate glass has a much higher internal tension than regular glass. What makes it harder also makes it more fragile. Oh ya, almost forget to mention, do not ignore the fact how slippery this phone is. You may say that slippery phone really doesn't matter, but actually it really does ! Please note that iPhone 4 is all glass. If you drop any other phone, you have a 50% chance of breaking its screen. With the iPhone 4, the risk will always be there, no matter how it falls.

The second reason is, which I bet all of you had known, the damn antenna. They said that iPhone4's wireless signal is being flawed by it's flawless phone design, very ironic. Holding the phone in several position makes the signal degrades dramatically, and more ironic, even in the position which Apple did in their own advertisement.

Believe it or not, but my cousin in America told me that Apple considered iPhone4 as a failed product. Please don't get me wrong, I don't hate iPhone4, I was willing to buy one though.. I just want to share my opinion to readers :D

Considering iPhone4 as a failed product, Apple is now developing a brand new iPhone, iPhone5 (only rumor, but it's up to you if you don't want to believe it).

Rumors for iPhone5 :

-        will be officially published in July 2011, in America

-        Designed for 4G

-        Hi Definition Audio

-        Super Hi-Def OLED-Screen

-        A new slightly, thinner design

-        Extended battery-life (600 hr standby) *okay, this is twice the capacity of my 3G

-        8 Megapixel camera *i think this one is a big hoax

-        32 Gb and 64 Gb internal memory choices

Okay, I think these information is enough, remember that I do not guarantee any hoax in this post. Just like I said, it's up to you whether to believe it or not. In the end, that's all for now, see you later =)

Apalah arti sebuah wajah

Yap, post kali ini bakal berubah jd bahasa Indo, karena akan menyangkut dengan org2 luar indo..
Dari hari pertama gw nyampe di China, gw baru menyadari betapa pentingnya bahasa itu.. Udah banyak banget yang ngira klo muka2 kayak gini itu org Taiwan lah, orang Korea lah, orang Cina lah.. begitu ngomong bahasa indo, lsg diliatin.. pada bingung kali ini orang muka begini kok bahasa begono.. Dibilang orang Taiwan itu udah ribuan kali, dibilang Korea udah ratusan kali. Cuman ada sekali, sama tmen Taiwan gw, gw dibilang mukanya ga mirip orang Cina.. *agak nusuk, cuman yaudah, itu opini orang*

Hal-hal enak dengan muka begini adalah :
- Kalo bahasa mandarin udah fasih, tersamar deh sama orang lokal..
- Sejauh mata memandang, semua org muka terlihat sejenis (hahaha, bukan rasis ye)
- Klo lagi ngumpul2 trus ngomong bhs Indo, ditanya mba2 restorannya "kalian orang mana?", bisa ngibul2, contoh : kita waktu itu ber 11, ditanya "kalian org mana?", pada saat itu gw dapat status jadi orang Jerman *oke gw tau gw ga ada tampang jerman sama skali*, ada yg jadi Korea, Thailand, Maurisius, kaco abis deh sumpah, udah berasa 1 meja kumpulan 11 negara.. *si mba nya percaya lagi, agak kasian juga sih, jd dibuli2*

Hal-hal ga enak dgn muka begini adalah :
- Di kelas inter, waktu dean nya masuk, lagi jalan trus tiba2 berenti, menatap tajam muka kita2 (barisan anak indo) trus tiba2 ngomong "You Chinese??" *mukanya dia sih ga nyante sumpah*.. WTH..
- Dengan muka begini, smua orang ngira kita anak lokal, jadi kalo mo beli apa2 smua mba2 dan mas2nya bakal langsung casciscus dengan bahasa dahsyatnya, saat tiba2 mereka sadar gw ga ngerti dan salah2 dalam ngomong, mereka suka ngetawain.. dasar orang2 ga ngerti susahnya belajar bahasa orang, ckck..

Oke, sekian dulu buat sekarang..

Yeah, My First Winter is Coming !

Hahaha, maybe some of you guys would mock and laugh at me, knowing I had never experienced winter before, but that is the truth !

Feeling the air outside the room is colder than inside the room is actually something weird for my senses, and I like to blow wind out of my mouth to create those "foggy" things. Sometimes, I also like to run and jump a lot of times knowing I won't get any sweat no matter how fast I ran or how frequent I jumped. You can say that I'm freak or whatever, but maybe you did the same thing like I did in your first winter right?

I also got a little problem for choosing best suits for winter. In Indonesia, I always go out wearing shirt, short jeans, and sandals.. but the whole story is different in Nanjing. Shirt, jeans, jacket, socks, and shoes is now never been enough. Going to the city to buy winter coats, I also kinda confused to choose which one is suitable, because I never tried to wear one before. Haha, but behind those troubles, I actually a little excited to see what will happen when the real winter comes. To see snow falling from sky, perhaps? :D

Discovering China a Little Bit More

October 1st, is actually a date which I bet, being loved by most people in China. It is actually China's National Day, and guess what? I got a week full holiday. Yeah, it feels like heaven.

To fill my holiday, I spent 5 days with my friends and went to Suzhou and Hangzhou. We travelled by car and it took about 2 until 3 hours from Nanjing if I'm not mistaken. Our driver is actually my own senior, Iyan (yeah special thanks to Iyan).

From my trip, I got several places that is worth to visit in Suzhou and Hangzhou that I would like to share with you guys. So, enjoy ! =)

Suzhou (苏州)

1. Timesquare

The place is quite cozy, and is very beautiful especially at night. This place has a lot of cafes and restaurants to hang out, with street lights, beautiful river in the middle, and roof covered by television (yeah, some places got a really long and wide TV as your roof) which made this place even brighter at night. Not only as place to eat, but this place also got a big and luxurious mall. You can also walk under tunnels in Timesquare, where you can find your walls are covered by lights from advertisements which only glow when you walk along. This means while you're walking, you're being followed by the lights besides you, quite interesting, I think.

2. Suzhou Le Yuan (苏州乐园)

Suzhou Le Yuan, is a big theme park with wonderful games inside to play. For rollercoaster and andrenaline-pumping-games lovers, this place is really worth to visit! Unfortunately I only played 2 games (3 actually, but the other one is sucks, so I don't count it as a game), but for me, 2 is enough, because those 2 are both fantastic rollercoaster. The first one, is kind of rollercoaster which you don't step your feet on (get what I mean?), and this one got a lot of spins, going through waterfalls and small cave, quite interesting! The other one is a normal train rollercoaster, what makes it unique is the track. The track doesn't make any circuit, so it has a dead-end. You must be wondering, "So, what will happen when the we reach the end?". Guess what? When you're at the end of the circuit, the rollercoaster stops and reverses it's movement until you get back to your station. For me, this is a unique concept of rollercoaster.

3. Suzhou Ferris Wheel

This is actually another theme park, but the size is smaller than Suzhou Le Yuan. The only famous thing in this park is the 'Ferris Wheel', which is the third or fourth biggest wheel in the world. Other games in this park is also amazing, including 'Stingray' and 'Disco'. I would never know the reason why the rollercoaster was named 'Stingray' until I played it. This rollercoaster has got a unique way of seats. What kind of unique seats? It is actually normal seats, but when you are being seated well, they will rotate you 90 degrees to your back, so you are now in 'sleeping' position. Just imagine it yourself, when you're being rotated in the track, you're no longer seeing your front neither left and right, but your below and above, just like stingray. Another one is called 'Disco', this is actually a normal moving seats, but the only thing makes this game exciting is the fact that your seat is not secure, there's no belt or anything else, just a place for your hand to hold and a pad for your back to lean on. Scary, I know, but that makes it exciting! The ferris wheel itself is also worth to ride, because it takes half an hour to make a complete cycle, and you can see the scenery of Suzhou when you're on the top of it.

Hangzhou (杭州)

1. West Lake (西湖)

There's no other words to describe West Lake except 'beautiful'. The scenery is actually amazing and I suggest you rent a bicycle to ride along West Lake, because the lake is actually so big that you can die if you walk along it. They also provide a 'Dancing Fountain' in a certain time, but according to me, it is not so impressive. Another thing that can't  be forgotten is the food, the food in Hangzhou is very delicious, especially for their cooked pork named 'Dong Po Rou'.. woah, I still remember how it good it was.

Yeah, actually we were exhausted at that time because it is our last day, so after West Lake, we directly turned our head back to Nanjing.
