FROM UNIAIR BOY TO THE DHL GUY

29.08.2007
Longing for long time....from one interview to another interview in the morning, from one company to another company, from one website to another website....

The wait's over...FINALLY...the time comes...!!!
DHL offered me a position there. Its worth of waiting tho... and 'someone' above really gave me something the right time and place....I BELIEVE tHAT

1st level interview was very good....but the 2nd i felt abit hard as i didnt really 'sell' myself to the person who interviewed me at the DHL.

It took me about 4 weeks until they approved my application and offered the job.
This is a permanent job, but im still in probation time for three month...*finger's crossed*

Bit nervous on the first day. They took me to the meeting and introduce me to the people who work there. I felt very welcomed by them.

I think im the baby in that office.
The people are nice to work with and very 'mentoring'...

Today is gonna be my third day...everyday i always learn something new...and still waiting for the swap card, log in details for the computer, jacket, jas hujan, kaos kaki, sepatu, celana panjang, ikat pinggang, benie, hat...i hope ill get them by Tues next week...

Life's soooooooooooooooo good!!! and also the uni's been fantastic...
I feel more alive ...ehehhe

Thanks God!!!

BL**DY SALES PEOPLE!!

As someone who's studying marketing, i am more more more aware and kinda realise that there's no thing about BONUSES or anything like that.

I used to think WOW...its a nice of this company that it gives me some BONUSES ...BUT appearantly NO WAY!! They're all still getting profits out of that and its just the way of their marketing plans and such...

ANYWAYS..........
Tadi lagi jalan2, PAKAI SENDAL JEPIT.
Lalu di tengah jalan ada nih SALES guy gitu, pakai pakaian rapih, SUITS, TIE , etc...and Menghampiri aku, dengan senyumnya yang ramah bilang gini..."WOW...!! NICE SOCKS...!!"
and aku dalam hati (Huh?? SOCKS??? aku kan pakai sandal jepit?!?!) lalu aku bilang "WHAT??"
and dia bilang lagi "WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SOCKS FROM??"

and aku bilang "I AINT WEARING ANY SOCKS"
And dia dengan santainya bilang gini sambil senyum "OK...My name is Shane..." (sambil menyodorkan tangan nya untuk salaman)

Tapi.........
Aku baru nyadar, wah ini pasti mau nawarin something...
Lalu aku bilang aja "Nice efforts man!!! and hmmm nice suits!! But im not interested!" (sambil senyum and pergi)
dia nya bengong...

Tapi....(again)
Itu orang approaching waynya salah banget sih, udah tau aku pakai sandal jepit and ga pakai socks! Tapi malah bilang nice socks...wahhhhhh...itu mah bukan gonna attrack people tapi malah pUt people off!!

ANGELS VOX on YOUTUBE.com

One of the videos that i put on youtube.com and its good that at LEAST, there's something from CIC Newtown yang bisa dilihat di youtube.com....eheheh

Enjoy it!

WEIGHT LOST PROBLEMS...

Kakak beradik ini sama2 lagi error...
Caecil lagi gemuk2nya...
Kelihatan banget waktu tampil bareng Minggu lalu nyanyi berdua sebagai bintang tamu (ADUH......Tan...jangan bintang tamu donk!) dengan Adolf di Wedding Partynya Tania. Wah ...............gemuknya *geleng2*...

Akhirnya ketahuan bahwa do'i lagi ikut program diet nih...LOL tadi siang aja lunch bareng, aku nya makan oporto, dianya makan nasi, ikan and sayur....Diet ya Jeng??

Ya udah yuk barengan yuk....kamu diet yang pakai program....aku diet yang jalan and olah raga...siapa yang paling cepat turunnya...
Aku kasih waktu 1 bulan, is that enough??

LOL, tadi lagi lihat2 sepatu, mau beli 3 pasang sepatu buat Angels Vox...yang SERUPA...
Asyik yah, kapan2 bisa tampil dengan sepatu yang mirip...LOL boleh juga tuh...
Plus nanti bisa dipakai di ultahnya Sari bulan depan tuh Jeng!?

PAPSKY Vs MUMSKY

Aku adalah salah satu anak yang paling lucky di dunia. Punya an incredible family yang always be on my corner no matter what....
Kalau dibayang2kan, pengorbanan orang tua sampai sekarang itu tidak lepas dari salah satu factor keberhasilan ku sampai sekarang, PLUS, orang tua yang apart physically selama kurang lebih 4 tahun, di sana bokap kerja, di sini nyokap ngurus aku sampai nanti lulus....BUKAN MAIN...

Mereka dihubungkan dengan cinta yang luar biasa ........yang tidak ada duanya. Papsky, yang pagi2 sebelum berangkat selalu ke gereja dulu untuk mempersembahkan doa untuk keluarganya di Australia and meditasi selama at least 30 mins and penyerahan diri total kepada Bunda Maria....SETIAP HARI....

Mumsky, setiap bangun tidur, hal yang selalu dilakukan adalah DOA...at least 45 mins...
I guess...waktu mereka berdoa itu lah, CINTA nya di pertemukan di udara.....and mem BOND mereka berdua sampai saat ini...

Dad's one of the greatest MAN that i have ever known in my life....dah banyak orang juga yang bilang begitu. Jarang ada orang tua yang bisa berkorban sebegitu banyaknya. Dia dah gak perdulikan ttg dirinya, yang penting keluarganya di Australia berhasil....
Kadang itu bisa shed some tears di mataku kalau mulai dengar orang bilang begitu atau kalau aku lagi ingat2....

Mumsky, one of the BRILLIANT mum. I call her SUPER MUM....dia bisa urus semuanya tanpa mesti tergantung dari SIAPA PUN...Hebat!!

Bisa nggak yah aku jadi seperti mereka nanti2nya....???

RICKI LEE SOPHOMORE ALBUM

Wow wow wow wow....
Salah satu finalist Aussie Idol 2nd season ini memang menakjubkan. I have always liked her since the day one. Though im not a big fan of her, tapi suaranya itu memang beda and has got something that would attract people's ears....Character suaranya yang berat and powerful membuat dia salah satu finalist yang masih survive sampai sekarang.

Kemarin, aku ke JB Hi Fi, and liat2 eh ada album barunya. Aku beli aja deh....padahal single2nya belum terlalu hingar bingar di Australia....seperti albumnya Kelly Rowland yang baru itu, kayaknya tidak terlalu BOOMING di Australia, tapi aku beli aja....and ternyata bagus banget....

Ini juga, lagu2nya Ricki Lee di album ini (aku enggak punya album 1nya loh), KEREN2...and suaranya memang udah grown up juga. Lebih mantaB....
Di album ini ada 12 lagu...and sekitar 10 lagu dari itu, AKU SUKA...
What a great album she has!!! Bayangkan, dari 12 lagu, 10 lagunya keren2...Jarang loh ....!!

Biasanya paling2 juga 3 - 4 lagu yang bagus, yang lainnya crap! Tapi ini...NO..NO...NO...

Good on ya Ricki Lee!!!

ADELAIDE HOLIDAY 3rd - 5th Aug 2007

Enggak kerasa, 3 minggu semester break sudah di lalui dengan baik.
Aku spent times with friends and family a lot. That's the right time to reconnect with friends whom i hadnt seen for awhile before. And its good to catch up again and talk about things again and rebuild the friendship.
Wow!!!

Senin besok sudah masuk. And i feel good enough on my semester break, i put lots of efforts to look for job for my next step stones in my career, and i ended with three job offers right now and need to make a decision on Tues next week.

They're all good jobs, and i need to think and weight the pros and cons.
For that reasons, i took my time away from Sydney to Adelaide on Friday night and returned to Sydney this morning at 5am ...sampai di sini jam 8 pagi. Capek sih tapi lumayan.

Enggak terlalu banyak yang bisa di lihat di sana karena cuma untuk 1 setengah hari aja. 30% waktuku bisa dibilang habis di pesawat, karena perjalanan Syd - Adel itu memakan waktu tidak kurang dari 2 jam ...cukup melelahkan... Aku stay di hotel, spoiled myself dengan hal2 yang indah di sana. Lihat orang lalu lalang, and kenalan dengan seseorang juga yang kebetulan sendirian...heheh...yah flirting2 sedikit juga boleh lah just for fun, apart from that I caught up with some friends that i have been chatting to. Tujuan dari ini semua adalah JUST FOR FUN. Jadi apapun untuk melepaskan kepenatan and semua masalah....
We had a coffee somewhere in the hotel, and some friends even brought me out to see things.
Ada visit ka Sherly juga sebentar...i will definately visit there again. Belum puas.

By the way, Senin besok sudah mulai kuliah lagi deh...melanjutkan perjuangan yang sebentar lagi akan berakhir...
Im hoping that after this, i will be able to make a right decision for my job.
Selamat Adolf!!!

NEW FRIENDSTER's PROFILE

Heya guys...!

A guy in Sydney, with a fun sense of humor and a strong sense of self. Enjoy many activities and looking to meet people for friends who share similar interests and see where things go from there. I'm looking, not desperate, wanting, not needing. Tragically single, but moments in time (think James Blunt's "You're Beautiful") keep me going.

I enjoy thriller movies, comedy, music, sports, addicted to badminton lately (it's a cult), and music stuff. I'd like to think I'm a good person, far from perfect, but I always mean well :) Ideally, im looking to date, but sometimes life throws you someone simply irresistable ;)

I enjoy multiple types of music, jazz, pop, new age, and RnB. But I am definitely a thriller or action movie kinda guy. If someone's head explodes during the film, I'm a happy man (hence my reverence for all the "Scanners" films).

I honestly don't keep pictures of what is under my belt. I figure, if you want to see it, I should at least get dinner or a beer out of it first ;) ------ Please please please...those guys who already sent me or intending to send me message asking for one, you better go for somebody else oK...

I think that I am more photogenic in real life, but then again I'm sure many of us think that way. Maybe you can judge for yourself sometime.

I definitely don't take myself seriously. Neither do most other people LOL :)
I'm a happy and fun guy who lives in an extraordinary life. I love finest things in life.

Lastly, i like to live my life to the fullest......

I guess thats enuff for now *wipes sweats on forehead* ~phhhewww~.........you can ask more in person if you want. Thanks for reading my profile.:)

ALBUM KELLY ROWLAND

One third girl dari Destiny's Child ini selalu mengundang pesona.
Biarpun sebenarnya tidak cantik2 amat, tapi there's something about her yang membuat mata orang selalu terpana, apalagi kalau bukan gaya sexynya.

To be honest, aku kurang begitu suka suaranya. KArena menurut aku aneh, tapiiiiiiiiiiiii, tadi pas pulang kerja, aku niat banget ke MYER (Virgin) and beli album terbarunya yang berjudul Ms Kelly.
Oh my gosh, suaranya sekarang beda loh, tambah dewasa and keren, bahkan ada beberapa bit yang suaranya mirip Beyonce...:o

Kadang2 Michelle juga suaranya seperti Beyonce. Aduh gak tau deh, and aku juga udah liat beberapa performance livenya Ms Kelly dari Youtube.com, oh my............memang beneran berubah, sekarang lebih cantik, lebih dewasa, lebih bisa dance and lebih knows what she wants...

And lagu2nya di album yang ini.......GILAAAAAAAAAAAA>....bikin gemesin aja, gak tau deh, pokoknya pengen nge gebrak WALKMAN or STEREO SYSTEM nya aja bawa'annya kalau dengerin lagu2nya Kelly di sophomore albumnya....saking kerennya RnB nya ewwwwww..........

Barusan juga baca berita, kalau dia baru COLLAPSE lagi waktu concert di Nigeria 15th July kemarin, aduhh kok jadi suka pingsan yah....?? padahal dari Destiny's Child kayaknya dia yang badannya paling kekar...
Hmmm moga2 aja gak apa2...

I was so close to buy her album from internet and it would have cost me twice the price than what i got from Virgin Myer tonight....Dooooohhhhh
Untung check dulu ke Myer tadi

You go girl!!!

BEYONCE JATUH ...OMG

Lagi liat2 YOUTUBE pas lagi break tadi siang di kerjaan, and lihat lagi rekamannya BEYONCE yang beberapa hari lalu lagi show, lalu jatuh kepalanya duluan pula. And aku baca commentnya....ada yang parah as following:

"one day the destiny's child was on BET live to sing her song "soldier" and when they start to come to sing the song ,michelle fall down so hard... and beyonce was looking michelle like: get up bitch! i don't wanna know if you down, don't stop my show... she was really bad... beyonce right now it's your turn to fall down...and now you can feel what michelle feel when you was looking her like a fish...this was your destiny..."

DAMN...FANS!!! ewwww...kalau kasih comment kadang2 suka resek....

BY THE WAY...baru nyadar, jadi tiga2 nya DESTINY's CHILD sudah pernah jatuh semua. yang paling lucu sih Michelle, soalnya jatuhnya pas lagi bertiga, and 2 orang nya lagi (Kelly and Beyonce) cuma ngelirik doank....Aduh kasihan

Nah, kalau Ms Kelly, baru2 ini SHOW di Malaysia and JATUH pingsan di PANGGUNg, ngeri sih yang ini....

Yang recent banget, beberapa hari lalu Ms Knowles (Beyonce) jatuh di panggung ...pas turun tangga stagenya, tapi hebatnya dia masih bisa langsung berdiri and nyanyi lagi....HEBAT....!!!

Bertiga mereka sudah jatuh...!!

*ketok2 meja* Amit2 ini terjadi sama penyanyi2 yang lain termasuk kita2....

POPULAR.....*Rolls EYES*

Tadi siang ke Consulate, ada urusan.
And salah satu staff di sana, jabat tangan dengan aku and dengan santainya tanya "Adolf...nanti tanggal 4 nyanyi kan!!?!? di Marrickville!"
and aku bilang "Wah...enggak tuh, soalnya semua nya lagi pada sibuk nih..!!"
and bapak itu bilang, "Lah, emang kalau nyanyi sendiri gak bisa??!? Kalau popular, yah popular aja sendiri, gak usah bawa yang lain2...!!"

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
Langsung bete deh dengarnya, gimana sih, kita kan emang selalu bertiga, kenapa juga mesti sendiri...
DOOOOHHHH!!
Aku langsung pergi aja sambil senyum ke bapak itu....

I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED...

I had an email from "B" today, letting me know that he, myself and another blogger have officially been diagnosed with BDD or ..... ya itu deh. It's hilarious, and probably quite true.
Oh well, as long as I'm not the only one!

FULL ON - FUN

Today has been one of spending time with friends and chilling out generally.
This morning was spent with The Patient Man having brunch in the city of some of his friends which was lovely.
Afternoon, I took myself off to yoga for the first time in my life. After hitting the small gym pretty hard for the last 6-7 months and never doing any stretches by god that class was tough!

This afternoon was spent doing coffee with >The Patient Man, >Superchilled, the Frenchman and a guest, before two of us went shop wandering, two went swimming, the fifth went somewhere else before we all reconvened at a cafe for a couple of drinks and something to eat before going to see the Simpsons Movie. I loved it.

It pushed all my funny buttons so my recommendation would be to go see it!
Tonight, will have dinner with Grant, followed by hours of time wasting before coffee with S. Ego later on....

KABAR TERBARU...(Based on email 31/7/2007)

Heya...
Waduh si Amel...sekalinya bales panjang2 juga ya..vEra juga tuh.
EH Mel, Erik kapan datangnya?? Udah?

Hari Minggu kemarin, aku iseng2 mau ikut latihan choir buat 17an nanti, padahal belum tentu datang, soalnya itu kan hari Jumat. Eh kebetulan Alice telp and dia ke gereja Newtown, aku sih gak ikut misa cuma datang buat latihan doank. Ada Alice di situ, ya Alice aku geret untuk latihan. Hmmm cuma sekitar 9 orang aja sih kemarin itu....kayak vocal group.
PLUS...........hehehh ada t. Caroline yang dari awal udah liatin Adolf terus kayak mau ngomong sumtin; and pas di tengah2 choir, orang2 lagi pada diam, si tante Caroline bilang "Adolf!!! kamu badannya kurusan banget yah?!!? Tante sampai pangling!!" and orang2 pada liatin gitu, and aku dengan pedenya bilang "OH IYA DONK tante ..."
LOL
Mengagumkan...!!" kata si tante.
"Si Arnold aja badannya gennnndduuuuuuut banget sekarang, susah kurus"
kata si tante lagi.

Aku dalam hati bilang gini, "Badminton donk and jalan pagi 7 kms...tiap minggu " LOL
Ya udah sih gitu aja...hehehe
Si Alice sampai ngakak dengerinnya,....


PLUS...heheh *lirik2 Alice*....mengheningkan CIPCA


Aku kemarin itu dari Kamis, Jumat, Senin, Selasa kerja yang akhir bulan itu di FUJI XEROX, lumayan sih enak banget, and also orang2nya baik juga, plus aku baru 2 hari belakangan ini tahu kalau ada vending machines yang menyediakan minuman2 hangat GRATIS di dekat dapurnya, semacam LATTE, HOT CHOCOLATE, FLAT WHITE, etc, BAHKAN SOUP ....nah itu hanya tinggal PENCET TOMBOL and gelasnya turun dari vending machine.

Lucunya, aku waktu itu lagi buat coffee sendiri, and the guy behind me was waiting for the cup to come down from the vending machine, and i looked at it, and wonder how much he paid for that, but when the cup went down from the machine, it just says "PLEASE TAKE YOU CHOOSEN BAVERAGE" and then he left without paying anything.

I thought "Ha....i would want to try this" and i pressed the button which says HOT CHOCOLATE with milk. Eh....abis gitu gelasnya turun, and aku disuruh ambil...then i realised, ITS FREE iin the world!!! Langsung deh coffee yang aku baru buat di tangan kiriku, AKU BUANG begitu saja!! yay...and kerjaku makin ok karena aku ingat ada minuman2 FREE hahaha....

By the way, its all over last night. Udah ga kerja lagi, tapi managernya bilang "Adolf, next month at this time ..(akhir bulan2 gitu) if you havent got a job, i would like you to come in again and do the same, would you?" and aku cuma kasih dia grin face and say ya...

And dia bilang "YOU R NOT SURE ADOLF?!?!'" hehhe and aku bilang NO NO Im pretty sure. Wah senang banget kerja sama mereka. Ngurusun tetek bengek, admin, collections, adjusting accounts etc, untuk penutupan bulan aja....:(
hmmm....
Anyways...iya ada 3 orang lain yang sama kayak aku yang cuma kerja 4 hari doank, and i had great time during my temp work with them. Kalau makan siang selalu bareng.
Namanya Raymond, Mendy, Rohini (by the way Rohini lagi hamil)

Sayangnya, kalau ketemu2 orang kayak gini, aku tend to not want to have friendship. Karena kita bakalan jarang ketemu lagi sehabis contractnya ini. Aduhhhhhh sayang banget lupa nyatat no mobnya MENDY, soalnya dia itu kerja di Mr Vitamins..........aku suka ke situ karena vitamin2nya at least 40 percent cheaper than retail price....EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.........tapi ya sudah deh, harap ketemu2 lagi...

Itu aja cerita kerja baru ku by the way.

Nah untuk film, PADA AUBURN *baca: auban yeeh* sih, dari dulu dibilangin filmnya terlalu BERAT, Kenapa juga si Vera baru bilang BERAT untuk dimainkan sekarang2 ini, DULU kemana ajeh BU?!?! Padahal aku sekarang2 ini baru SIAP2nya untuk memainkan film itu, biar seberat apa pun as long as Amel guide me through...tapi kalau memang mau di revisi lagi jadi yang lebih ringanan sih GAK APA....aku ok aja. Toh, itu semua memerlukan process and itu semua adalah process belajar.

Nah, kalau ringan, BERARTI bu Vera ikutan main donk...........!!!
Hmmm yang pemainnya, at Least aku, Ian...
Donny jangan dulu deh, mungkin dia bisa bantu2 apa gitu, tapi kalau main, dia enggak.
Nah, kalau Caecil mungkin bulan2 segitu dah ga sibuk lagi, PLUS Alice kan hari minggu day off, jadinya kalau mau shoot yah cari2 hari minggu lah kebetulan semuanya off sekarang kalau minggu.

Mengenai hotel di Bali, HOTEL mana yang ga angker?? Even Sheraton yang di nusa dua aja noh kamar 2011....ada suara2 kaki terus yang jalan di dalam situ biar ga ada yang tempatin...

Jadi yah kalau ke Bali, siap2 aja untuk ber spooky ria...karena memang tempatnya asyik banget buat manusia biasa and setan biasa untuk 'bersatu padu' tanpa ada batas...

WELCOME TO MY WORLD *kata setan*
Eh Mel, ke Discovery Mall deh...aduh mallnya di pinggir laut gitu loh, and bahkan kadang2 siang2 gitu ada upacara2 ala bali itu yang tebar bunga ke laut....(jadi ingat Roro Kidul!?!?)


By the way, beberapa hari ini di tempat kerja itu, aku lunch nya SANDWICH, jadi ingat Vera kalau makan sandwich. Ah kapan2 ke RSL ah, nyobain SANDWICH buatan Vera.....
