Is there any Coincidence?

Today's word is coincidence...
First, I would like to tell the definition.

"A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection." by Oxford dictionary.

"An event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental " by wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Do you believe coincidence? or you prefer "it is planned by a Power?"

This one is a hard one. To me and my religion belief, There are no such things of coincidence. you may disagree, but this is what I believe.

Talking about pure coincidence, let me take you to see the sky... The perfect placement of planet earth and the sun. Have you ever thought that if the earth move one meter away from its sun, great change of earth climate will occur. Ice will cover new places on earth. Maybe there are no more hot beaches, tanned skin, and surfing. Because it is too cold to take off you clothes. Even wearing a single T-Shirt will cool you to death. ( Maybe this one is too Hyperbole)...

And imagine when the earth move one meter toward the sun? great heat will occur on earth. You will not get only tanned skin, but burned dark black skin. Many forests are scorched,no more snows and the sea level will rise due to melted ice on the poles. Well, most effects are worse to our today's Global Warming. so at least Stop Global Warming!!!!

Back to Coincidence, do you think the earth staying on its orbit is a pure coincidence? I think it is not. It is arranged and managed by a Power to make it steady still on the exact route...The Power of our God. Our creator...

Yesterday, I experienced a coincidence in a car park. I went to a mall in my City. This mall is famous for its traffic jam around, and the difficulty to find the square space for your car to park. Well... I complained for 5 minutes because the Queuing combos (jam and car park finding) happened to me, plus, my steer wheel sounded a bit if I turn it either left or right. I said some bad words in my heart as there is my girlfriend beside me. Sorry, because I just got a combo of vexations back then, not only the Queuing ones.

Then, I stopped my car during the search to find the sound behind my steer wheel. When I stopped, a car turn its engine and go. Right in front of my car...maybe it was only 3 meters away. Honestly, I did not notice if the car would exit.. But because of the sound of my wheel, and I decided to stop at the point.. I got a place to park... when I heard the engine, and the car went away... I spontaneously said another bad word...hahaha....

Do you think it is coincidence or given?

Do you think the occurrence of human beings on earth is a coincidence?
Do you think a single sperm grows become a big person is a coincidence?

Think it.... or google it...

my conclusion:

"COINCIDENCE IS WHEN GOD CHOOSES TO BE ANONYMOUS" by anonymous..

What the...

Jangan sampai anak kalian seperti ini...gua bingung sama ortunya, anak ini dikasih makan apa dan dikasih nonton apa sampe begini tingkah lakunya...I believe this baby is not even 1 year old...Curious? Watch it....

When You are Fucking Damn Busy...

Have you ever experience the situation when you are doing something urgent, something more urgent came to you. and then, someone else come to you to do some workssss? finally then, you found out mistake for the urgent one so you have to do it all over again because the time almost out ... What a Hectic situation...

Just now, I experience that situation. I sweat although my office room was not hot, I did not know which one to do first, and I was not able to concentrate fully.

However, I learned something...

When you are panicking...The fist thing you have to do is:
1. STOP thinking and moving!!
2. Take a few deep breaths...
3. Slowly think what you have to do...one by one...dont think assignment B if you are doing assignment A.

Then you will find out that you have finished all the works...After that, you are ready to enjoy the others in a relax situation.

Maybe you all have known this...But I just want to remind you since you may forget this things... Enjoy your day...=)

R.I.P Neda, the Iranian Woman...

I almost cried while watching this video...


This girl was seeking justice and truth. Protesting the election result in front of the government... But what did she got? a bullet right through her chest...
She might not be expected this tragedy happen when she left her house...
She was still young...
My heart hurt while watching seconds when she died.

Why should you shoot this woman, Iran? Why don't you just hear the protest peacefully?
and for the protesters...please respect the government if you want to be respected while shouting your aspiration...

Iran, please...Just make an open dialog with the protesters...don't use any violence...

R.I.P Neda...

May justice would come, and your death would not be useless...

Clock Watching...

The title was inspired from Jason Mraz's Song...But actually this post has nothing to do with Mr. A-Z...

Let's get to the topic..

Have you ever thought about a clock numbers? well, just now I was thinking about why does a clock has 12 numbers. here is what I found...

"The planet Earth is 24,000 miles around (circumference) and spins at 1,000 miles per hour, so a day is 24 hours long (24,000 miles divided by 1,000miles/hour = 24 hours). Since roughly half of that time is daytime, we have our clocks with 12 hour faces. There are plenty of clocks with 24 hour faces, but most still have twelve, correctly assuming that people will be smart enough to tell daytime from nightime.

Navy and submarine clocks have two numbers rings on one face - the outer ring of numbers (1-12) is for AM, and the inner ring (13-24) is for PM."

Then, I found other question, what are am and pm stand for?

AM stands for ante meridiem which means "before mid day" or "before noon"
and
PM stands for post meridiem "after mid day" or "after noon"

I just want to share what I researched...I hope you can learn something from my post..

Pulau Redang (Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia)...Best Beach I have ever visited...

Bagi penggemar film “Summer Holiday”, yang dibintangi Richie Ren and Sammy Cheng 10 tahun lalu, pasti akan sangat menyukai Pulau Redang ini Karena Pulau inilah pulau yang berpasir putih dan ber air bening di film tersebut.

Biaya untuk menuju ke pulau tersebut pun terjangkau. Kurang lebih, kalian hanya perlu mengeluarkan biaya sekitar Rp 3juta – Rp 4juta per orang termasuk tiket pesawat, kamar untuk 5 (lima orang) dan makan Buffet selama 3 hari 2 malam di pulau tersebut, dan souvenir.

Bagi pecinta pantai dan laut, sudah tidak diragukan lagi, pulau ini adalah tempat yang cocok untuk liburan tengah tahun karena cuaca dan kondisi laut yang sangat mendukung pada pertengahan tahun.

Aktifitas yang dapat dilakukan di pulau ini penuh dengan interaksi alam seperti snorkeling (berenang di permukaan laut) menikmati keindahan terumbu karang dan ikan yang penuh warna.Banana Boat, Kayaking, Diving, dan lain-lain.

Untuk Snorkeling pun di Pulau Redang tidak hanya snorkeling biasa karena di sana kita bisa melihat Moa (balut) raksasa sepanjang 3 meter dan Ikan Kerapu Raksasa kira-kira seberat 10kg, dan panorama kapal karam.

Bagi yang belum pernah berenang di pinggir pantai dengan air yang sangat bening dan ditemani oleh ikan-ikan, pengalaman di Pulau Redang ini tidak akan terlupakan.

The Rarest food in town...

In the middle of each year, the city of "Ondel ondel" celebrates its Birthday. This year is the 482nd anniversary. Some of Jakarta citizens join the happiness of their beloved city's birthday by attending Gambir Expo or so called "Jakarta Fair". In the entire month, the exhibition will always been crowded by bunch of people who would like to feel and share historical joy.

However, the main story isn't about the Jakarta Fair, but the Rarest food in the town, KERAK TELOR...Maybe some of you are not familiar with this food because this Kerak Telor is only been sold once a year in a single area, which is Kemayoran. If you visit Kemayoran on the month of June, you will definitely see so many Kerak Telor sellers in every 3 meters of the road.


For those who do not know what Kerat Telor is... Basically, Telor is egg, and Kerak means crust rice which been barely cooked in order to keep the crunch of raw rice, and the rice will stick to the bottom of the small cooking pan, so the maker should put a little bit more effort to take it out ..
Thus, Kerak telor is the mix of egg and the "Kerak" combined with some dried coconut powder and Fried red onion ( i hope you understand, I have a hard time translating local foods)....

For the price, this Kerak telor is very very cheap. If you convert it into US currency, it only costs 0.9 cents. but the demand during the month of June reaches the peak. People from every corner of Jakarta come to Kemayoran to attend Jakarta fair as well as to buy Kerak telor as "souvenir"...

Since Kerak Telor appears only once a year, you may wonder where the sellers are doing throughout the year. I asked them about this matter, and I found that some of them are not originally Kerak Telor makers. The ones whom I asked were driver, house builder, small store keeper and other not so high class workers. However, becoming a temporary Kerak telor Seller is very attractive because of the high demand and income for a month.

I guess this is what I could share about one of Jakarta's unique trade marked food.
I really wish you are inspired and have some new info from this one....en

Respect Diversity...

I born in a very diverse big family... There are some of my Uncle and Aunty's are from other religion and even race. However, we respect each others' belief and origin without any significant efforts. I have Indian, Chinese, Malayan, and American Jewish relatives. Being in this family, I learn to respect all diversities in this world.
I respect all races and beliefs and religions because I am literally one of them. Nothing can be discriminated because we born and grow here in the same place, Indonesia. So, I can't find any good reason to discriminate. Face characteristics, language, skin colour, and beliefs are not good reasons for being disrespectful to each others.
Although my face does not show the mixed race and culture, diversity runs in my blood. I won't disrespect my own part...My own family.
I can't say we have same characteristics, but I can say that we are from the same root.
I write this without residing the facts that there are some people whom we try to respect, insult us by mentioning the differences between us. At least we already try to fully respect them with all of our heart. Whether they want to respect us or not, it is their choices...

"Although my face does not show different races mixed in one, diversity runs in my blood."

Do you P.L.A.N?

During my undergraduate years, most of my Marketing Lecturers recommend us, the students, to plan all of our activities. To be honest, I am not used to plan all of them, because it is not so effective. But actually, Planning is a very useful way to be successful.
Let’s start with the P…
P stands for Perfect. When you plan, all of the things that you need to do, bring or make would be perfect and nothing would be left behind. So, everything will be Perfect. Usually you plan by writing things down on any place. I do it on a small paper and stick it on my wall. There is saying “If you don’t write it, then it is not doable”.
And my favourite one is “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail.” By unknown Old Saying.
(If one of you know who says this, lemme know)

L stands for Lead. Well, this is an obvious one. When you plan, then you are acting as a leader. Only Leaders Plan. The followers are only acting and doing according to the leader’s plan.

A stands for Answer…
When you plan, you will have all answers for all questions. Because when you plan orderly, you will face many problems that need to be solved. As you plan, earlier, you will have longer time to think for a solution. In other word, when you plan, you would have complete gear to go to a war zone. You will have a bullet proof vest since you have spotted that in a warzone, you will be facing bullets “running” around.

N stands for Nesting…
You see birds build a nest during the days when they still can build it. They plan far before in order to have a safe house. They plan the nest step by step by gathering a single stick or small branch to form a small “plate” for them and their children. Thus, planning helps you to have a so called “house” for you to have a safe works. You will have no worries because everything is already planned.

So remember to P.L.A.N… en

I am Sylar.. the Average Guy..

Just want to share some of my feeling and what I've got today.
After thinking and struggle to find my true self which made me down recently...
I found a very good conclusion from one of my best friend.

Before talking about "General Guy" deeper, I will talk about what happened to me on these days... I was thinking that I do not have any expertise. I thought that I do not have any competencies. some proof, even though during high school year, I got good marks, I still cannot find any best subjects. I cant find the subjects that I like the most...

But, after some chat with my friend,I got the one clue that is very important for me to stay in the course. This clue really helps me to know my character better.
he told me that being general is my expertise... I can help in everything although not as an expert. Yeah, i realize that so long, but not this clear....Now, I could recognize myself as the "general Guy"...my abilities are more or less are in same level...

is that strength or weakness? Some people say that every one must have at least one expertise that he/she like the most because being general is as same as Zero cos you can do nothing. However, I would make it my strength though. Because I could help others in many things...

You may be wondering, why I put the title "I am Sylar"... Besides He is my favourite character in Heroes series... I feel that He is just like me..."the General Guy"...
He can do most abilities that exist in Heroes' world, so he has no expertise...
Then what is his expertise? being "Everything and General"...

Just now I remember that when I play games that required me to choose the ability of my character, most of the time I choose the one with has average level in every ability. for instance, A has Greater Power but lower speed, B has lower Power bit greater speed, and C has average power and average speed... then I would choose C...
so, What do you choose?

"Do we deserve a second SECOND chance?"

I will start this by giving an example. A tries to borrow Rp50000 for his sudden needs. Although he says that he is "borrowing", I won't ask him to pay me back because he is my friend
However, he came back and ask me to lend him Rp100000 for his sudden needs and to pay the money he lost in a casino with the money I lent him.
In this case, would you give him a second chance?

Based on my first posting about second chance in "Everybody deserves a second chance", I told you all to give everyone a second chance. But would you strong enough to fight your anger to your friend? Would you trust him?

And, "do we deserve a second SECOND chance?".

I suggest you not to give chances to every situation, because you definitely need to analyze the problem first, and the person you are giving a second chance. Not every person deserves one because not every person has responsibility. And things that make them to fail is in their own selves.
Maybe because of laziness, untruthfulness, and many other negative factors.

So if you want to give a second or third or more, you have to analyze it first. What to analyze?
1. the factor they fail
2. the passion to be successful
3. the vision of their work
4. all of the background (try to understand deeply what is he/she doing)

But try not giving a second chance fully free. You have to make sure them that they will use the second chance properly and not to waste it.
honestly, second chance is not so easy to give. But you have to...
as I believe, we are also a "second chance" person. en

Do we deserve a second chance? Ancora Imparo...

This one, I am inspired from the new Terminator sequel. Terminator Salvation...
Several times, the character "Marcus" asks whether he is deserve to be given a second chance?

What do you think?

I say YES. Every one deserves a second chance because he/she is still learning. In this life, there is no time to finish learning. "Ancora Imparo" is a sentence from Michaelangelo in his last years of life which means "I am still Learning". Even Michaelangelo, one of the most respected person who had ever lived in this world said that he is still learning. Coincidentally, Ancora Imparo is the sentence at the bottom of my University's logo.

So, making Mistake is a common act because you are still in search of doing the right thing. Any mistake...Small or big mistake are the same...Everyone needs a second chance in condition he/she wants to atone and redeem their own mistakes...
Second chance will produce a better person.
FYI, If you say No, you are refusing to use HONDA, KFC, APPLE, and Johnson&Johnson's products as they have failed once. And you even refuse to use LIGHTING that was found by Thomas A. Edison who have failed almost 1000 times.

So, Will you change your answer?

No Matter you Win or Lose, You want more....So, When should we stop?

The sentences that says "Human Will Never be Satisfied" is very applicable to this world of everything.
Whether you are winning or losing, you want more. Everything...
As a human, quitting is one of the most difficult things to do. One good instances is those who are smoking. Although they know that smoking will cause them losing their precious health, most of them barely thinking to quit.
Why? because of the environment that supports them to smoke and the additive substance from the cigarette itself.

One more damn good example is investment, especially money market investment which has high risk high return philosophy. When the investors gain a high fruitful return, they would definitely want some more. They do not want to gain only once but continuously. but when they lose, they even want to invest more. Why? because they hate losing. They do not want to quit investing while they are losing. They want to quit if they already gain the good return. But when they win, they would not even thinking to quit.

So, when is the best time to quit?

Some people say, the best moment to quit is when you feel enough winning...Bullshit...there is no "enough"...
Some people say, they would quit if the thing that they are doing start to disturb and destroy their life. I say, no... They would not. They would not even recognize the destruction because they are concentrating and enjoying the destructive moment.

When is the best time to quit?
Find it yourself. But don't be regretful if the time you quit doing it, everything is at the worst situation. Don't be too late...or else, you won't even have the second chance.

So, let me change the question...
When is the last time you see and have a good time with your family and friend?
When is the last time you do something nice to your family and friend?
When is the last time you give them fresh air while you are around?
When is the last time you make your friend and family happy?

PS: I do not say investing is no good. it is good, but stay at the course and your purpose. en
