My lucky days are over......Maybe

I used to get what i want, with an effortlessly, i shot for a Sumatra University, i got one, cause my adventurous mental wanted me to go there, instead of those great java university. I'm supposed to get over working here 4 years ago when i was 26 years old, should i becoming a manager in one of a top company out there now, but by one or two reasons, i don't take the opportunity, and until now and then maybe i still don't know where should i go or applying to, cause i don't know my experience in working here could bring me somewhere though.

I wish i could, but i can't stand of working  like this anymore, i used to be determined, open-minded, and sharp person, with a great ideas about future life, but now, seems like just "go with the flow" that i should not doing it.

I still patiently waiting of that opportunity come across my career life again for once, if it's there, i would possibly say YES of moving myself working in another company, i can't even wait of my boss's face of looking a piece of paper titled "resignation", and i hope it will happen this year.

Bus-way

Check out this pictures guys, i think it's hilarious.

Read the line on the orange bus, "Naik busnya Jangan Ambil jalurnya ", in english means "Ride the bus, don't take the bus line", i bet everyone had read this line, and i bet they do know which the "Bus line", ok so, where should that bus moving?, it is not supposed to be on the car line right? So, who took someone's line?

OK now then, this is the driver's fault or the bus-way road that missed design?, hahahah , i am sorry, but i think that signage should be take off from the bus, cause maybe someday a car will put the same signage on their own car :).

University of Melbourne : Indonesia Studies

I heard this information trough one of program in TV during that night that really amazes me until now. It is really is something to be proud of, Indonesian cultures especially Bahasa Indonesia is on their educational subject at the Language Faculty of University of Melbourne, you can check trough this link, and is under language Faculty Here

The college students are chose the Indonesian subject by their own willingness because of their experience in visiting Indonesia, their amazes by the beauty cultures, the great people, and one point i believe every students there will agree is, Bahasa Indonesia is the easiest language to be learned.

Each of student got interviewed and been asked of why they chooses to learn Bahasa Indonesia?, reviewing from all of the answer is because they love Indonesia, they love we as famously know of our cultures of kindness to tourists, and even some of the students wanted to work here in Indonesia as a doctor, I'll wish you guys all of good luck though.

So, if other countries citizens love Bahasa Indonesia, why don't we?, i will definitely make a blog with Bahasa Indonesia as the main language, and i dedicated to Indonesia.

My Family : Part I

My intention in making this blog is to have something to be remembered during the future of my life and my family, whatever kind of topics is. My family trip, my baby growing, my career, everything that happened to our life, so someday when my daughter ask me to know what is she looks like when she was a little, i just straight to open my personal blog and show to her.

I just feel blessed with the way of my family look like, it is growing to be stronger as i wanted to, it is growing to be somewhere where we want it to, "Insya Allah", one-thing that bothering my life is just my career life, it's not the way i want it to be, it is not on my "success standard", but it is on progress, Allah must hear my prayers every time i prays to HIM, so i'm still optimistic.

On November 26th, it will be our 5th years of intimate relationship, started with two years of girlfriend boyfriend, and tying a knot as husband and wife on 6th of July 2008, she was a colleague of mine at the same company we were working with, and after the marriage, she started to move to another company, that's why our baby plan is need to be postponed yet, cause she is un-permitted to get pregnant on a probation period, Duh!, but the good news is coming, she is pregnant on February, when we all not even expected to be that fast since she just taking off the medicine, then on November 2nd 2009, our first baby borned and we named her "Isyafa Khumaira Madina". Life is sound beautiful isn't it ?

So many plans we have arranged together, the closest one is to get a new house done, i hope not in a long time of waiting again, cause hopefully next year we will decide where and which is our dream house will be, buy a house is a hard task, cause we want it to be our first and last house as "home sweet home", so, we have been thinking this carefully.

Choosing the right location, the right design, and the right price that we still can afford right now, there is long-listed houses on our options list, Alam Sutera, BSD City, Bintaro Jaya, and of course my parents complex housing, Villa Ilhami :), I pray for you all night for this Allah, Insya Allah, we can make it happen.

Wow, what an achievement. Kpop fever is all over the world now since billboard announcing their latest Kpop 100, a song-chart of top 100 song, like Hot 100 of internationally song chart for any singer in the world, this is really a prestige chart in music.

The Magnificent Serena Williams

If you talk about tennis, i bet people notice this person, Serena Williams, one of the great tennis player and a living legend who's still playing up until today. Well known for her powerful tennis game, she has a huge serve, backhand, forehand and consistently produce it during the game, astonishing!!.

She has won 27 grand slam titles places her ninth on the all-time list: 13 in singles, 12 in women's doubles, and 2 in mixed doubles and her 13 Grand Slam singles titles is sixth on the all-time list.

Williams is primarily a baseline player. Her game is built around taking immediate control of rallies with a powerful and consistent serve (considered by some to be the best in the women's game), return of serve, and forceful groundstrokes from both her forehand andbackhand swings. Williams' forehand is considered to be among the most powerful shots in the women's game as is her double-handed backhand. Williams strikes her backhand groundstroke using an open stance, and uses the same open stance for her forehand. Williams's aggressive play, a "high risk" style, is balanced in part by her serve, which combines great power and placement with very high consistency. Her serve has been hit as hard as 129 mph (206.5 km/h), the second-fastest all-time among female players. Serena also possesses a very solid volley and powerful overhead which is very useful for her net game. Although many think of Williams as only an offensive player, she also plays a strong defensive game. Source from Wikipedia

Because of her continuing rehabilitation for her foot injury, Serena withdrew from the 2011 Hopman Cup and the 2011 Australian Open.^[72] As a result, she dropped to world no. 12 in the WTA rankings, her lowest ranking since March 2007.

This was Serena's 6th consecutive win against Maria. In the semi-finals, Serena would take on Wimbledon semi-finalist, Sabine Lisicki who suffered a 6–1, 6–2 defeat. Serena powered through to her first final of the season where she would take on Wimbledon quarter-finalist,Marion Bartoli, who had defeated her at Wimbledon.

After back to back three setters against Jie Zheng and Lucie Safarova, the semi-finals matched Serana against one of the most consistent players of the year, Viktoria Azarenka, beating her handily, 6–3, 6–3 to advance to her second consecutive final. In the finals, Serena defeated Samantha Stosur 6–4, 6–2 to win her second consecutive title and her 39th career title overall. Her ranking jumped to world no. 31. At the Cincinnati Open, Serena defeated Lucie Hradecka 6–3, 7–5. The next day, she withdrew from the tournament citing a right toe injury.

Next on her schedule was the US Open in which she entered using her protected ranking of number 1. She was seeded 28th and faced Bojana Jovanovski in the first round, winning the match easily, 6–1, 6–1 improving her record in Major first round matches to 45-0. She next faced Michaëlla Krajicek whom she beat 6–0, 6–1 to set up a meeting against 4th seed Victoria Azarenka. She defeated Azarenka 6–1, 7–6 to advance to the fourth round, and she has reach the quarterfinal after defeated Ana Ivanovic 6-3 6-4 and will face Anastasia Pavlyucenkova.

I didn't really like her when Martina Hingis was around, but now, i do respect her with all of her talents. She is one of a kind, she is not stopping, instead she is just getting started, be the best always Serena, i admires you so.
