			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my dad&#8217;s favourite songs which I listened to it a lot lately :</p>
<p><strong>Questions</strong><br />
<small>Manfred Mann&#8217;s Earth Band</small></p>
<p>In a dream it would seem<br />
I went to those who close the open door<br />
And turning the key, I sat and spoke to those inside of me</p>
<p>They answered my questions with questions<br />
And they pointed me into the night<br />
Where the moon was a star-painted dancer<br />
And the world was just a spectrum of light<span id="more-198"></span></p>
<p>They reached to my center of reason<br />
And pulled on the touchstone that&#8217;s there<br />
The shock of that light had me reeling<br />
And I fell into the depths of despair</p>
<p>Turning the key, I sat and spoke to those inside of me<br />
They answered my questions with questions<br />
And they set me to stand on the brink<br />
Where the sun and the moon were brothers<br />
And all that was left was to think</p>
<p>They answered my questions with questions<br />
And they pointed me into the night<br />
And the power that bore me had left me alone<br />
To figure out which way was right</p>
<p><small>thanks, Dad..</small></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">are going to</span> wave goodbye to year 2008 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in a few hours time</span>, seems so fast doesn&#8217;t it? 2008 was a good year for me (I would say not bad, but generally it&#8217;s good), yes there were some highs and lows for me in 2008, by this post I would like to look back the main highlights of what I have done and achieved in 2008 :</p>
<p><span id="more-196"></span>In 2008 I started to work remotely and full time for dot tourism, a UK based company, working as a web developer who handles web stuff and a bit of multimedia, my working hours is adjusted to UK time which is 7 hours behind (6 hours during Daylight Saving Time), to be honest I dreamt about working from home since 3 years back, with a regular income, so I thank God for realizing one of my dreams. By working with a different working hours to many people here, I didn&#8217;t really see it as a problem, until I got lots of complains from my loved one about my uptime compared to hers, then I looked at myself, ah yes she&#8217;s probably right, I spent too many hours working combined with a different uptime maybe I forgot some things which I usually did with her, and she didn&#8217;t get much attention from me, but up until now, I still find it hard to switch between my life and work, this is going to be one of my homework next year.<br />
2008 also marks my 3 years relationship with Ummy, and 27 years living on earth, also the year which I started to use dual screen for work (which I found it very helpful, thanks to my office), the first time I have my own notebook, have my own camera, moving to my hometown and living alone by renting a house, my sister got married, bought a TV, met some old friends, started to go to Malang regularly (which I haven&#8217;t done this month because of work reasons),and last but not least i finally be able to meet my boss in the real world.</p>
<p>Those are the main highlights of 2008 as far as i can remember. 2009 hopefully will be a better year for us, I have written down some of my resolutions but I need to re-check the list and save it for the next post.</p>
<p>See you, and happy new year</p>
<p><small>PS :the last 2 posts in this blog is a &#8216;delayed&#8217; post, due to my internet connection problem and electricity problem :(</small></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long while since my last post. I had been so lazy to update this journal. Anyway, many reasons why it took me so long to write a new entry in this journal, i have been swamped with works mostly, and since end of August i have been staying on my own in a new place which of course it takes time to adjust, and living alone in a new place means i have to learn to take care everything and every details by myself  (tho i always take care everything by myself since then but this one is slightly different), from paying the bills to the payment centre, cleaning up the house, to mowing the grass, i do all the housework mostly by myself and at the same time office&#8217;s works have kept me busier than ever.<span id="more-193"></span></p>
<p>Yes, so far life is good, tho it&#8217;s not the best (yet), i have learnt a lot in the last four months, especially in terms of time management (which I am still coping with it up until now) and work experience, also not to forget how to socialize with people, and how to handle some bits of housework properly.</p>
<p>And one last thing but not least, which is love life, I am really awful at this.  Maybe I will be better but at the moment someone is not happy enough with the progress I&#8217;ve made. I admit I am not the best or the perfect one or one who always spend most of my times on it, and I don&#8217;t want to put the blame on someone or anything, it&#8217;s just simply me, I am not good enough, and it&#8217;s all my fault, I promise at least to myself, to become a much better someone in times to come.</p>
<p>Well, to wrap this post, this might sound a bit too much: I hope to write more often next year (next year is probably a bit too &#8216;heavy&#8217; but in fact this is the last day of the year) and probably in English (I know my English is not the best, but hey&#8230;practice is good :))</p>
<p>Until then&#8230;and happy holidays</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saya suka ketawa sendiri kalo inget kejadian ini. Rabu minggu kemarin pergi ke Bank Niaga, niatnya mo bikin rekening. Sebelumnya sekitar 1 bulan sebelumnya pernah ke Bank Niaga juga (cabang yang sama) dan nyoba bikin rekening, hasilnya ditolak mentah-mentah! ..alesannya ga ada nomer telpon rumah, lucunya telpon rumah boleh asal bukan kos-kosan alias minim anda harus tinggal di rumah kontrakan.</p>
<p>Percakapan sekitar sebulan yang lalu :</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mas CS</strong> (pihak bank, kali ini cowo) : &#8220;Siang pak, saya A (nyebut nama dia sendiri), ada yang bisa kami bantu? maaf dengan bapak siapa?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Andy..saya mo bikin rekening Mas&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mas CS</strong> :&#8221;Boleh, sebelumnya pernah punya rekening Niaga, Pak..?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Belum&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;OK, kalo begitu&#8230;.(lansung nyodorin salah satu produk tabungan bank yang bersangkutan plus beberapa produk yang lain..bla..bla..blaaa) Jadi bapak mau bikin yang mana?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Yang itu aja mas (sambil nunjuk yang produk tabungan paling basic)&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Disini saya masi santai<sup>2</sup> aja ga ada pikiran macem<sup>2</sup>. Si CS ngurusi urusan<sup>2</sup> yang menyangkut pembuatan tabungan saya (fotokopi KTP saya, nyiapin buku tabungan, dlsb) , saya pun sibuk sendiri ngisi form. Setelah selesai&#8230;<span id="more-150"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;Baik, Pak (sambil neliti form yang udah terisi)..mm..Bapak ga ada telfon rumah ya? Ini tinggal di rumah kontrakan atau bagaimana Pak?&#8221;<br />
me : (dengan polosnya saya jawab) &#8220;Ngekos, Pak&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;Ada saudara di sini Pak yang mungkin bisa dihubungi ?&#8221;<br />
me : (mikir bentar) &#8220;Mmmm..ga ada Mas&#8221; (antara bimbang ada atau ngga, mengingat ada saudara di sini tapi lebih banyak tinggal di Jakarta sehari-harinya, dan juga ngapain repot<sup>2</sup> bawa<sup>2</sup> sodara cuma buat daftar rekening, lagian nomer henpun juga uda ditulis di form. Disini saya uda mencium sesuatu yang &#8216;ga beres&#8217;).<br />
<strong> Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;Mmm (ikut mikir)&#8230;Nomer telfon rumah orang tua ada&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Ada, mas&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;Boleh ditulis, Pak?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Bisa.. (langsung semangat nulis, dengan harapan beres urusan secepatnya)&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;OK, makasi Pak..bentar ya Pak, mohon ditunggu (pergi entah kemana, sambil bawa form ma &#8216;calon&#8217; buku rekening saya)&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sekitar 15-20 menit saya nunggu..trus akhirnya si mas tadi dateng lagi</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mas CS</strong> : &#8220;Terima kasih, Pak..sudah menunggu..jadi gini Pak..kami belum bisa membuatkan rekening untuk Bapak, karena prosedurnya Bapak harus tinggal di rumah, minimal kontrakan yang ada telfonnya Pak, jadi mohon maaf sekali kami belum bisa meloloskan rekening Bapak. Sebenarnya saya tadi udah mau tulis dan approve permohonan Bapak, tapi tadi saya tanya lagi ke officer, belum boleh Pak..Mohon maaf sekali..&#8221;<br />
me : (pasrah karna uda capek nunggu dan uda laper) &#8220;Oh gitu yah mas..&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Akhirnya saya pulang dengan bingung sendiri..aneh, kenapa yah ko mo naro duit aja musti ditanyain yang ribet2..saya pikir-pikir lagi..mungkin takut kali bank nya kalo saya salah satu sindikat dari money laundry..eheheheh.<!--more--></p>
<p>Dasar emang ndableg, saya pun berencana balik lagi mo bikin (di cabang yang sama) kali ini nunggu dulu 2-3 minggu biar adem dulu..ehauehuaehah&#8230;akhirnya Rabu minggu kemarin saya dateng lagi ke bank dan cabang yang sama.</p>
<p>Kali ini CSnya cewe, pas ditanya soal telpon..langsung dengan pedenya saya jawab &#8220;Ada mbak&#8221; (disini saya isikan nomer telpon kosan yang lama yang udah diblokir ga bisa nrima telpon..awuhaueuaeh). Dan, bener..semua lancar..ga ada masalah..mbaknya juga sumringah karena dapet nasabah baru..saya pun pulang dengan gembira, karena uda berhasil bikin rekening (aneh?..aehauehhe)</p>
<p>Baru sampe rumah 10 menitan&#8230;langsung ada telpon (ke henpun)&#8230;saya uda curiga aja soalnya prefix nomernya daerah sekitar kantor cabang bank tadi.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;Sore..maaf dengan bapak Andy?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Iya bener..&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;Ini Eka dari bank Niaga yang tadi Pak&#8230;ini tadi barusan saya telpon ke nomer rumah Bapak ko ga bisa ya Pak, katanya nomernya tidak terdaftar&#8221;<br />
me : (langsung cepet tanggap) &#8220;Oiya mbak, maaf tadi ga ngasi tau..telponnya lagi saya urus mbak..lagi diblokir..kemarin<sup>2</sup> sempet dipakai sama temen saya, ini lagi diurus mbak..Mohon maaf sekali&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;Ooo gitu ya&#8230;kalo nomer telpon yang lain ada ga Pak selain henpun?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Ada mbak&#8230;esia tapi&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;Esia nya esia rumah atau mobile pak?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Rumah mbak (padahal saya punya nya yang mobile..eaheuhauee)&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;OK, boleh tau Pak nomernya?&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;boleh..blablabla (nyebutin nomer telpon)&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;Baik Pak, terimakasih, selamat sore&#8221;<br />
me : &#8220;Sore juga mbak..maaf ya tadi saya lupa bilang&#8221;<br />
<strong> Mbak CS</strong> : &#8220;Baik, slamat sore Pak&#8221; (tutup telpon)</p></blockquote>
<p>Hehehe..so far beres, ga ada masalah..moga<sup>2</sup> aja ga diblokir atau diapa<sup>2</sup>in rekening saya ma pihak bank. Lagian niat saya juga nabung cuma, ga macem<sup>2</sup>. Maaf ya mbak Eka..uda bikin repot :D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Setelah cukup nylesaiin kerjaan untuk hari ini&#8230;gw ga bisa tidur&#8230;hari ini hari Senin, masih subuh tentunya..dan nanti harus kerja tapi entah kenapa perasaan ga enak..galau..mau serius dikit..mau curhat.. heheh..o ya, ini bukan curhat patah hati atau putus cinta atau yang berhubungan dengan romantisme, it&#8217;s just pure all about life.<span id="more-112"></span></p>
<p>Umur gw bakalan 26 beberapa bulan lagi&#8230;hmm..banyak kejadian yang terjadi..dan diantara kejadian tersebut banyak juga penyesalan atau perandaian&#8230;gw sekarang lagi mikir atau lebih tepatnya menyesali atau mengandaikan..coba saja gw dulu setelah lulus, 2 atau 3 bulan kemudian dapet kerjaan yang enak, entah dimana itu kerjaan tapi yang penting kerjaan itu enak (kerjaan emang ga ada yang enak tapi dalam artian disini bisa dijadikan pegangan dan yang penting have a good pay), gw mungkin ga akan ada disini bahkan gw mungkin ga menulis ini, mungkin hidup gw jauh lebih enak, mungkin gw udah sampai ke tahap berikutnya dari hidup gw, dan banyak kemungkinan<sup>2</sup> lain (tentu saja disini gw mikirnya yang bagus<sup>2</sup>), dan mungkin juga gw ga bakalan kenal seseorang.</p>
<p>Well, gw sebenarnya paling ga suka menyesali dengan kejadian yang udah terjadi karena apapun yang terjadi hidup harus tetep berjalan..the show must go on, itu kata Queen&#8230;coba tunjukin kalo apa yang kamu lakukan sekarang dan besok itu lebih baik dan mungkin bisa memperbaiki kesalahan<sup>2</sup> di masa lalu..tapi entah kenapa gw banyak berpikir akhir-akhir ini dan gw merasa banyak menyia<sup>2</sup>kan, entah itu peluang, kemampuan, dan yang terutama mungkin orang yang paling gw sayangi. Dan gw masih belum bisa nerima kenyataan kalo dari sekian banyak hal yang mungkin gw sia-siakan itu membawa gw kesini..ke pikiran<sup>2</sup> ini, rasanya nyesek banget..dan kalo udah kaya gitu, gw ngerasa bersalah, bodoh, dan banyak lagi yang ujung-ujungnya bikin gw ga fokus, dan punya pikiran macem<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>Gw malah dengan bodohnya sempet berpikir kalo Allah itu ga adil, gw punya sesuatu yang mana, mungkin gw udah ngedapetinnya tapi ternyata gw masih harus berusaha lagi lebih keras untuk bisa bener<sup>2</sup> memilikinya padahal belum tentu semuanya ditentukan dengan usaha dan do&#8217;a gw sendiri tapi masih ada lagi orang atu pihak<sup>2</sup> lain yang ikut andil menentukannya.</p>
<p>Dari situ gw ngliat temen<sup>2</sup> gw, they do have a beautiful and easy life..ga lama<sup>2</sup> lulus, selang bentar dapet kerja enak..trus mungkin selang 2-3 tahun nikah tanpa ada hambatan apapun..enak emang..nah, sementara kalo gw ngliat diri gw sendiri..fuih, kerja aja seadanya, tabungan seadanya, yah pokonya serba mepet lah..capee deeh, gimana mo nikah wong menghidupi diri sendiri aja kadang susah, lagipun setajir-tajirnya cewek lo atau setajir-tajirnya orang tua cewek lo kalo lo emang cowok yang bener, bertanggung jawab, dan punya perasaan, apa iya sih lo mau tercukupi kebutuhan rumah tangga lo cuma dari mengandalkan harta dari mertua atau cewek lo?</p>
<p>Disini bukan gw ga bersyukur, iri atau protes atau nggrundel dengan keadaan gw sekarang tapi kenapa gw belum juga sampai ke tahap kaya temen2 gw itu, kalopun iya dateng kesempatan itu, kenapa ga dari setelah gw lulus? kenapa ga dari 1/2 atau bahkan mungkin 2 tahun lalu? Dan gw sekarang ngerasa pelan<sup>2</sup> kayanya kesempatan itu ga akan pernah datang menghampiri atau mungkin gw dipaksa nerima ya seperti inilah posisi gw mungkin sampai nanti, dan akan terus seperti ini.<br />
Ah coba aja gw seperti yang gw impi<sup>2</sup>kan di atas itu tadi, mungkin gw sekarang bisa tidur nyenyak, dan ga perlu nulis tulisan sialan kaya begini.</p>
<p>Well, sudahlah&#8230;disini gw ga bermaksud untuk apapun kecuali untuk gw sendiri..cuma biar lega dikit aja (meskpun juga belum lega<sup>2</sup> banget)&#8230;</p>
<p><small>*buset panjang juga yah..apalagi alur bahasanya ga jelas</small></p>
