Last Post in 2009

This will be my last post on 2009. Thanks for your support to this blog and we will see again in 2010 which will arrive in the next hour

One day to New Year

It's almost midnight, so only 24 hours left to new year, something that we have waited for some time. We all hope that new year will bring changes to many things, including our self. New resolution has been committed and ready to be executed.

Family Dinner

I rarely had a chance to have a family dinner together, since my sister is working in Jakarta, so she only came back once a year at December. So we used this chance to have a family dinner at IBC, near Hyatt Hotel. It's quite far from my house (around 20 minutes using car), but the food is good enough for us. We enjoyed the dinner and in the end, it's not that expensive.

I hope you also enjoy the time spent with your family in this holidays

Low Productivity

Long holidays means not much activities related to work. That means our productivity will be getting lower than our normal level. What happened next is we will not be able to recover as fast as we used to be when we started our job again in new year.

What i tried to do to keep my productivity is by giving some load even on my holidays. I managed to finish several material for next semester and also write several articles in my spare time. Of course it's not a full time task, but only in my spare time so that my body and mind is not so far away from my daily activities.

I also keep reading books while i'm at home. It keeps my memory of what i should teach next semester

Last Sunday

Today will be the last Sunday on 2009. Next Sunday will be on 3 of January 2010. It's getting closer to new year

Five Days

It's 26th of December, meaning that it's only five days before the end of this year. It's been a very fast year to me, as it seems only few months ago we all entered 2009 and now we are approaching 2010. Probably it's due to my work nature which is based on a six month period.

We are all hoping for the best in 2010, so let's hope it will come true then

UNO

I will stay at my cousin's house and play UNO all night long because my cousin will go back to Jakarta tomorrow. Caoooo

Merry Christmas

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate Christmas. May the joy and blessings of Christmas come upon you and your family

Christmas time is a special event for me and my family, as it's the only time where we as a big family can gather around after one full year separated due to our work in other places (city or country). I hope you can enjoy the same joy as i did last night where we can have fun together with the rest of your family

What a Day

Today is a very special day. In the morning, i had breakfast with some of my relatives in Soto Kadipiro near my house (well, not very near actually, but it's still considered near in Jogja). I brought my rubik cube there (4x4x4). My uncle was impressed and he wanted to learn (he had a 3x3x3 at his house, but he was unable to complete it). When i got home, i copied a copy of Dan Brown's movie at YouTube which i used to learn how to solve the 3x3x3 rubik cube. He's still studying it right now

At noon, we had lunch together with my elementary school's friend, even though it's not as complete as yesterday's feast. There was only 9 of us (we missed Bambang, Erika, and Ferry today). We ate at Gama Candi and we ended up at 3 PM.

Next, i went to the church with my girlfriend to celebrate night of Christmas. We took the first schedule, which was at 5 PM, since we would have a dinner with all of my big family. It ended at around 7 PM, so we rushed in to the restaurant and we had a dinner there with all of the relatives who came. Too bad, my cousin Ivan couldn't make it as he's still in Australia.

At night, we (me, my girlfriend, and my sister) went to my cousin's house and we played UNO together there. Even though it's only for one round, but it's still so much fun being together. I'm planning to go there again tomorrow so that we could play again (one round was definitely not too much fun ).

It's been a great day and good way to celebrate Christmas day which is about 28 minutes to go at the time i write this post

Reunion Again

Finally we can make the reunion event happened again today. It was a fun reunion, with Me, my girlfriend, Pauling, Ferdy and his girlfriend Tata, Doddy, Bambang, Shirley and her husband Haryono, Eta, Erika and her husband Ferry. We all from the same class in elementary school and we bond our friendship up to now.

Thanks to Ferdy as the host and it was a nice place after all. We all cooperated to prepare the dinner ourselves, so no delivery or so on. It's all from us and for us.

We would like to have a lunch again tomorrow, hopefully with more people than today

New Christmas Emoticons

Plurk silently released several new emoticons for Christmas event. Just type (xmas1), (xmas2), (xmas3), (xmas4) and you will have four different Christmas emoticons. (Thanks to Deddy)

Here's the results:

Reunion Again

In the next two days, i will attend another reunion. This is a planned reunion and it happened during Erika's wedding party few month ago. We had this reunion regularly in the past, but since we are now working on different cities and countries, we can't do that too often and this year, we will make it happen again.

All the preparations are done and it's all about the execution phase

New Blogger Emoticons

I have uploaded a new script for the updated Plurk emoticons on Box.net. As usual, you still need greasemonkey to use this script. Here are the Plurk emoticons:
