Ganesha Mini Statue

Yesterday I went to Informatics Administration office. I was told that there was a prize for me given by STEI (School of Electrical and Informatics Engineering), since I graduated with Cum Laude honor. It was a nice mini statue of Ganesha, the master of intellect and wisdom (according to wikipedia), and it also happened to be the mascot of ITB. Can't say that this mini statue pays off my hard 4 years in ITB, but I won't complain either (since this mini statue was a lot better than the lame ganesha statue sold at Tokema™), except for one thing: the plaque was only glued using a double-tape, it falls off most of the time! Seems that I have to glue it using a more proper sticking mechanism..

And here's the photograph of the mini statue, taken from my room. As you can see, I am reflected at the plaque. Too bad the words on the plaque were obscured, gotta find a better camera..

Senayan City

Finally, I managed to get myself outside my house yesterday (??). Went to Senayan City, located just across Plaza Senayan. Going out at Saturday night means dealing with traffic jam in Jakarta. Also, you have to face parking space crisis when you got to your destination, but luckily, I did managed to get one (with lotsa help of course :P). Anyway, I took pictures of the place which I believe would be the main hall of Senayan City. So please, have a look at these pictures!

Getting Bored..

Well, this week has been boring for me (except for the fact that I was getting sick, that wasn't boring at all). Spending all the time browsing (as if I have no other thing to do), reading (thanks to the mighty Wall Street Journal Asia!), playing game (Onimusha 3, hell yeah, I love good hack-n-slash game), searching and applying for job vacancies (great, when will all of these things end..). To make things worse, I've been spending almost of this week at my home, getting sick at nearly the-end-of-the week, and receiving rejection letters! Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I haven't managed to play Pomp n Circumstance Marches well.

Apart from those misfortunes that have befallen me (don't you worry, I'm just trying to exaggerate my condition), I managed to lose 3 kg of weight (now that's what I call a good news :D). Also, I began to realize that this is time for me to re-plan my career - again.

Anyway, I read an interesting blog post from my friend Gior. He mentioned that many people give virtue using bogus identity. Here's an excerpt from his post (taken without permission of course :P):

To be in a virtual world doesn't mean you have the right to give virtue as a virtual person and feel proud for it. It's kinda idiotic thing to do. Ok, the reason behind this posting is lately I've found SO many people trying to change what they really are. Though it's just pretending to be tough, smart, perfect, even melancholy!

Well, couldn't agree more could I?

Yeah, that all would be my post. My first post in English, really. I think I'll be doing this often, to improve my English. See ya in the next post :D!
