Disengaged



Damn!
After a long period of deadly sickness and unconscious…
My beloved cell phone finally dead…

I got this cell phone even before Nokia Indonesia launch it.
That’s because I was really dreamt it as my first cell phone.
Then I was really engaged with this N-Gage for about 3.5 years having it in my pocket.
I always love her and even declared didn’t want to sell this cell phone even I have a new one (I thought I could be at least 1 year later or more).
What can I say? Now she’s gone and I must accept this disengagement.

3000000000

Well, it's not the sequel of the Spartan war movie.
It's my current hard disk capacity (in bytes).
Just bought a new Seagate Baracuda 250 GB SATA to replace the old one.
The old 40 GB was transformed into portable one so I can steal my friend's data (I mean huge data). Hohoho...
Right now I don't know what to fill into this hard disk but in my thought I will have many many hard-disk-eater games, favorite movies collection, my photograph, some music (I'm not a music maniac you know, 5 GB is allocated and it's more than enough for music), some favorite manga-scan collection, and also my work for campus project, job and hobby.

It's my second upgrade for my 4 years old computer and my next upgrade would be:
- RAM to more than or equal to 1.5 GB
- ADSL modem for ADSL internet connection
- Processor to more than or equal to 3 GHz frequency
- Soundcard under Rp.800.000,00 price
- DVD Read and Write Plus and Minus (how to write it??!)

and last but not least:
- Logitech G25 (picture below if you dont know what is that thing)

The Learning Curve

This is one of my "Most Unforgettable Dialogs"
It's about a talented young man with bad attitude facing a much more experienced old man to learn from him.

Even if you are a talented one, learning is never easy, and sometimes the first thing you need to do is believe your mentor. And to believe someone is something even more difficult for some individuals like me.
But I do always found a way to believe someone with infinite experience and humble appearance.
Just like my Professor and this Jedi Master...


Master Yoda: Away put your weapon. I mean you no harm. I am wondering why are you here.
Luke Skywalker: I'm looking for someone.
Master Yoda: Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say, hmm?
Luke Skywalker: Right...
Master Yoda: Help you I can. Yes, mmm.
Luke Skywalker: I don't think so. I'm looking for a great warrior.
Master Yoda: Ohh. Great warrior. [laughs] Wars not make one great.


Master Yoda: Why wish you become Jedi?
Luke Skywalker: Well, mostly because of my father, I guess.
Master Yoda: Ahh, father. Powerful Jedi was he. Powerful Jedi.
Luke Skywalker: Oh, come on. How could you know my father? You don't even know who I am. Oh, I don't even know what I'm doing here! We're wasting our time!
Master Yoda: I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: He will learn patience.
Master Yoda: Much anger in him... like his father.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Was I any different when you taught me?



[Luke's ship sinks into the swamp.]
Luke Skywalker: We'll never get it out now!
Master Yoda: So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say.
Luke Skywalker: Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally different.
Master Yoda: No! No different. Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.
Luke Skywalker: Alright, I'll give it a try.
Master Yoda: No. Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.
[Luke attempts to pull the ship out, but only with minimal success.]
Luke Skywalker: [panting] I can't. It's too big.
Master Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it. Makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Here between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship.
Luke Skywalker: You want the impossible.
[Yoda raises Luke ship from the swamp.]
Luke Skywalker: I don't…I don't believe it!
Master Yoda: That is why you fail.

Ghost Rider


Forget Nicolas Cage.
What you see is a real "Insane Rider" feared like a ghost by all driver on the track.
It's the hundreth time he done something like that.
A shame for my country, but to be honest, it can't be better until the monopoly in driver association erased.

The 2es00lu7ions

I just read this from PlanetF1.com
Reminds me to reveal my New Year Resolutions...



F1 New Year Resolutions

Monday January 08 2007

The New Year is a time when people face up to problems and resolve to try something new.
PF1 has developed some New Year resolutions for the people in F1. They should try these.

Ron Dennis
Find out how to get to the podium at each grand prix. It's been so long since any McLaren personnel have been required on the podium to receive the winner's trophy that they'll need instructions on how to get there. Then again it might not be necessary in 2007.

Robert Kubica
Ask the engineers at BMW to design the 2007 model around him and not Nick Heidfed, that way ickle will have no way of reaching the pedals.

Kimi Raikkonen
Start learning how to love pasta and chianti and quit the rollmop herrings with a bottle of vodka chaser.

Felipe Massa
Slip Kimi Raikkonen's engineers a crate of vintage champagne (before) that all-important first race.

Christian Horner
Never ever promise to do anything involving nudity. Unless the bet is about David Coulthard winning the World Championship, because we believe that's a safe one.

Max Mosley
Also promise never ever to do anything involving nudity.

Bernie Ecclestone
Try an exciting new haircut. Only the Monza banking and the Silverstone grandstands are older than Bernie's haircut.

Nico Rosberg
Promise not to use your team-mate as a braking aid on the first lap.

Jenson Button
Go out, trim the beard. And never ever ever return with it. That's ever.

Lewis Hamilton
Don't answer any questions which include the phrase "...first black driver".

Rubens Barrichello
Start asking about DTM contracts in 2008 before Coulthard gets in first.

Charlie Whiting (FIA Race Starter)
Try doing it with your eyes open and see if it's any better.

Williams
Smile, it can't get any worse.

Fernando Alonso
Start taking choreography lessons - because the dance on top of the Renault we saw last season was way up there with David Brent's from 'The Office'. (Rhymes with Pit)

Ant Davidson
Don't get into a fist fight with anyone except Takuma Sato

Juan Montoya
If you're lucky you'll have 10 years at the top in NASCAR. If you're unlucky, you might have 20.

Jean Todt
Relax, you are STILL the most important person in Michael's life after his family, he STILL has the framed photo of you in his office, yes he WILL be on-line during grands prix, yes he WILL come and visit Maranello, and GO to the restaurant with you, and he
promises NOT to flirt with any other motor manufacturer, promise, cross his heart etc etc.

Hermann Tilke (FI's official circuit designer)
If you're designing a new circuit for India, let's have a 360 degrees loop like in Hot Wheels.

Flavio Briatore
Learn to speak English and be understood - maybe using Mark Blundell's Talk English Proper available from Amazon.com.

AD




LOL every time I read the Tilke section!


Now it's my turn to unveil my resolutions for the upcoming 300 days...
Some say there should be parameters for goals, so here they are:


1. Closer at least 7 parsecs to God
2. Closer at least 99 relationship-meters to my family
3. Closer at least 1 love-meters to my crushes

4. Earn at least $200 from any source other than parents
5. Gain at least 5 kilograms of my bodyweight
6. Make at most 1 enemy
7. Play at most 20 videogames (less entertaining and more brain-training only)
8. Read at least 17 books (fiction & non-fiction)
9. Write at least 1 complete-significant-reliable-story

10. Watch every single F1 races live (be one of witnesses of racing history, or should I say... legend)
11. Pass every single subject at university in one semester (fail to do so since the first time I study at University)



Easy boys, those may looked like jokes, but believe me, those are real!

I'll try my best to do every single one of it...

Will be added if necessary. But editing parameters is strictly forbidden!
