May 23rd, 2008 by c0rl31

dear blog,

hi it’s me again Doug….lol (who am i kidding)

anywho… as i adjust myself with the whole learning by doing thing in my new office , i realize i’d better not screw up. By all means cause i am in IT support. The irony is, we all know each job desc has it’s role… frankly this is one too many….as i look down the list of the things i have to do, most of it seems impossible to manage…. i come from a web developing background in PHP and i have to work with .net ..

holy cow wot i have i got myself into….

basically my job desc include, programming, networking, supporting, designing.. the whole works… to think… all this time.. 4 and a half years… wot the hell woz i learnning back in me campus…lol….

all i know is i got a month to aclimate with the surroundings…. and just give it all my best… i got nuff friends to support … they can be really helpfull…. including me bebe….

well let’s see how i progress during the first year…. c ya next time ..till then

2 birds 1 stone, blessing in disguise

May 14th, 2008 by c0rl31

back wiv me bloggers, it’s been ages i haven’t written anything. this year though however i got pretty lucky.

we all know i didn’t get into UI twice and it teared me up to pieces. This year I tried again, regardless of what the outcome would be, i am sure that this time i’ll get in..
I revised day and night and i pray and i do unselfish and troublesome things but i did something different this time, i had the support of my gf. She really helped out alot, she even made me a time schedule so that i won’t procrastinate. and bum about. She was like a cheerleader, rooting for the winning team.

As the sane goes "third time is the charm", i finally got accepted…… yipeeeeeeeeeee… i will enroll in august…  I too am a UI candidate in the family.. and honestly it makes me real proud… now the next step….. not to screw up….. that’d be a bugger….ya think? XD

That was one of the fortunate event…

the second one just happened recently… i applied many workplace online and have got some response… not vergy gud ones… not to mention i was waiting for a call from PT GS Baterry and Citibank. TIll now they didn’t reply… one time me mate julius saw a job vacancy over at AD-N he said just apply and go for it , which i did cause i’d figure i have alot of spare time (3 months to be exact) before i start studying. got called, i did the test  (which i haven’t revised for  lol )…. and i manage 2 get accepted too….. wow two birds with 1 stone… in a short period of time

i must be frank though.. last year was just horriffic, job less, womenless, senseless, clueless, things are getting brighter, and i owe it all to alot of things… it’d be too long of a list to mention.

one thing for sure, regardless of what happens, one should decide how they want to spend one’s day… if u act positive then "the positive itself" attracts other positive attributes. viceversa

thats it for me though… as i open a new chapter of me life "Tiopan, the journey continues" "Don’t screw up now"….. lol

who am i kidding… it runs …..
peace..

iseng2an harap di baca.. mandatory

this is not a blog.. this is an intermezzo…i am gonna re-arrange these two songs from a love topic a topic to a song bout getting a job…

these songs are
T2-ok
The Rock-Munajat Cinta

bear in mind i’m doing dis because i am bored.. n e one culd have done it… n i happen 2 b the one….

here we go

T2-ok aaa aa (echoing)

verse
seandainya kau bilang saja padaku ada lowongan kerja
tanpa harus ikuti tes dan interview lewat jalur belakang ya

pre-chorus
ujian gak keterima
bagaimana dikau ini
kau sudah belajar
tapi berputar-putar

pre-chorus
Aku bingung sendiri…
ngelamar sana sini,
kau buat aku jadi pusing
aku tahu mau mu.
aku tahu maksud mu,
aku mau diterima cukup aja diterimaaaa

chorus
aaa ok 2x
bilang aja ok
ku mau dengar ok

verse 2
kau terlalu mengulur waktu kerja mu
aku jadi capek deh .. (gitu loh)
jelas-jelas isi tes ku beri pada mu
kau tunggu apa lagi

back to chorus

munajat kerja … (lol joking2)

pagi ini …….ngelamar lagi
tak ada yang… mau nerima
seperti hari lain.. yang sudah lewat

cv ini selalu sepi…. tak ada yang meliriki
seperti bejualan … tak ada yang laku

chorus
Tuhan kirimkanlah aku.. kerjaan yang sesuai hati
yang bisa ku kerjaakan….. apa adanya

verse 2
semangat ini semakin layu..
tak ada yang di kerjakan…
seperti hari ini… malas-malasan

back to chorus

we played a fictional character

November 26th, 2007 by c0rl31

the title is irrelevant…….
funny thing happened 2 me n me mate sam.
it woz a sunday morning n we were suppose to attend this seminar + interview  of cabin crew in qatar airways. it woz all the way in kali bata in jakarta pusat
we knew that the seminar was for the whole day
ironically we woke up late… i mean really late… coz yesterday we played footie in BSD. I woke up at 9 am .. realizing that i had 2 go to the event.. so i quickly showered, ate, n i left 2 pick up sam..
when i arrived at his house.. he was still sleeping..wot a dong.. so i yelled.. he woke up, got prepared and off we went.

BTW we looked really sharp… dressed in suit n tie  minus the suit…lol

when we arrived … which is about 1 in the afternoon …. it just finished..  n we were like "fooocking hell…..  nooooooooooooooo…."  $ 2000 opportunity just went in the drain….
wot cooled us down woz a group of chicks applying for cabin crew… who just happens to have the impression of "masa depan yang cerah" if u get my drift "wink2x.."

anywhoo… 2 blow our steam we decided to go PIm… n have lunch there.. we ate in carlington.. is an all u can eat buffet.. most of it is dumplings … is really nice.. but 2 much msg… for Rp 35,000 … i’m not surprised..

during our walk inside the mall… we got a lot of attention.. mainly from the chicks… they were whispering… esmut2x…. which means executive muda.. hence  "we played a fictional character " o sumthing like dat. coz people would assume that we were young executives … succesful at a young age… determine..n all the positive stuff that comes with being one… but we’re really just going for an interview that we didn’t attend ….ha3x….

is really nice 2 get noticed… and being offered lots of things… things were pretty much going r way……

the moral of the story is… guys..dress smart not fashionable.. u wuld get their (chicks) attention faster than u can say "hi kenalan yuk"….

my first day teaching english

October 31st, 2007 by c0rl31

i haven’t updated my blog for a while… for those who read my previous blog… this one is none like any other…

yesterday evening from  4 to 5:30 pm i taught 6 pupils at GSI (global sistem informatika)
the pupils come in many colors and shapes…
it was quite difficult at first.. especially teaching pupils that hardly pays attention…
nerve wracking… that’s what it is…
when I was teaching i start to notice that they have different characteristics..
(obviously…duh)
shy, timid, class clown, know it all, .. are some examples
at their age is inevitable… is just a kick in puberty… lol
i was surprised that i was pretty patient with them…
and they respected me by co-operating. 

i usually help my friends with their works… translating and stuff..
this time it was different…
i have to teach them using structures and grammar, i need to work on it a lot
i have forgotten most of it..

and when i was reading my fifth grade work… i realized that my English was terrible…

well i am starting from scratch, at least i will have one developed language
instead of four unstructured languages (indonesian. english, japanese, spanish)

till next time
