Injured

dear diary,

i injured my feet in my morning swim session today.. have i put too much pressure on it? in the end, i can't finish my 25 times routine. i just managed 14 rounds of 100 m today.. still considering though, should i go to basketball practice this evening? hmm...

About japan trip, an unexpected things occured. err.... i can't say it unexpected though, i already thought it can happen, and it's actually aready expected that the tickets were sold out before my brother could book any for us. everybody seems dissapointed that's for sure. sure there are many other travel agency that provide a similiar tour like that. But with the price difference around 10-15 million rupiahs per person, my family will need time to consider it. So thats's why, my journey plan to japan will be postponed for the time being.. ^^ hey, i still got time to learn japanese then... Konichiwa?? ^^

Although i feel pity for my brother that he already put so much effort in looking for the travel information from a few days ahead, asking everybody in the family who want to go there a few days back before the promo was even put on internet, researching the travel fares compared to other travel agencies, etc. And he seems very irritated as he told me, at the first day of the flight promo he can easily book for 10 peoples. but the others still considering wanna join or not. but then, now, there were just 4 seats left. We can't of course left the others and enjoy ourselves there too, can we? but i told him, all of us have learnt a lesson from this event. next time, it won't happen again at least, there will certainly be another promo next time. a better tomorrow, right? ^^

Btw, i'm updating this blog from office, think i can't continue to write long story here.. it gonna cost too much time, and it's not good for my boss.. hehehe..

have a nice day everyone. think there will no quotes for the time being too.. been too lazy to search for some nowadays. too much quotes can harm body too, hahaha.. kidding..

Destination --> Japan

dear diary,

hello, how are you? think that was the sentence i used to almost all of my housemate today, hahaha.. i was very happy i think that i´ve been told by my mom this evening that my family are really going to have a holiday trip and i am in it too, hehe.. yep.. it´s just like i wrote it up there, i´m going to japan on my next holiday which is in the next springtime. yippie..

that place has been my number one destination place to go since i was a kid, dunno the exact reason, but it´s kinda magnetize me since i was a kid. haha.. is this some dream comes true situation? if it is, it´s really wonderful..

it was just not more than 4 days ago, my older brother told me that my family was thinking to go to japan. but at that time, he told me maybe june or july were the right time to go. and then they decided it is in june, i was kinda, hmm.. i want to join you all, but june is not good for me, coz i got no holiday in june. and i was just like, ok, you can go without me, i´m ok.. have fun there. there are still next time if i want to go there with you guys, aren´t there? i wasn´t sad or anything, i didn´t even think about going there anytime soon. and then yesterday morning, my brother called me via msn and said that, they changed their mind, they will go there in march since mother and aunty wanna watch the sakura when it´s blossoming. my brother was just saying it like just giving me new information that they gonna change the plan. there were actually no intent to ask me join anymore at first, since he really thought my holiday is not until august. i think it is because i have been telling them since these past months, that i´ll be flying to indonesia next august to spent my holiday there. aha ok, i said. but, wait a minute.. hey.. my winter holiday always begin by the end of february and ended in april. hey, i can join you all! nah, story short.. after called my mom to discuss about it, we decide to buy the ticket tomorrow. since the promotion price for it is gonna end by tomorrow, ^^ hope everything go smoothly that we don´t run out of tickets, got easy visa application, that i have a nice and promising and successful semester ahead, successful weight lose too, etc.. Cheers..! hope all went well... can´t wait for tomorrow to come.. ^^

thinking about having holiday trip with my family excites me now. i dunno if maybe some people think i´m a little bit too old to be in family holiday trip with mom and daddy too. haha.. i don´t really care, hehehe.. it has been too long that i´m having holiday together with my family. i missed them, being together, having fun, spending happy time is also not bad. i really cannot waste this opportunity right.. huahahaha.. i´ll always cherish them.. ^^

hope all went well for you guys also, and thanks for visiting..

early bird

dear diary,

i woke up early today. it was not even 6 o´clock in the morning but i was forced to wake up already, not by someone else though, but by the appointment that i made with my friend yesterday. yeah, we wanna try to go to swimmingpool earlier so that he can still go to work at 10 AM. and 6.30AM is the earliest opening time. We arrived there at 6.40 AM, and i asked myself, who on earth will gonna go swim this early on monday morning with cold weather, but as i enter the pool, my question is answered by just looking at circa 50 heads of people who are already sunk and up there. they are just like seas of people. anyway, we were trying to join the crowd, *sigh* it was really hard to just swim forward, i got kicked from my right n left sides sometimes. and people just can´t stay in his line, how can i come forward if you´re coming to me from the other side of pool. and then we tried to swim left and right, in order to dodge another people. huh.. it was a good experience, hehe..

but after swam for a while, and the clock showed almost 8 o´clock, suddenly i realized there were fewer people there. and i counted them, there was 8 people left. how come? and then after a while me and my friend realize that, there is reduction ticket for early swimmer (6.30 AM - 8 AM). it cost 2,50 EUR while the normal price is 4 EUR. no wonder there were so many elder there. Lucky for me and my friend that we´re still student. we got those reduction anytime when we showed our id-card there. that´s why i said to my friend, we should not bother the elders anymore next time, there were too many people already in the morning, why should we make it hard for them, while we still can go there at 8 AM. oh, i´m such a nice guy, thinking of them that much. hahaha. (another reason, actually the real one, we don´t need to wake up that early anymore right?^^). oh, it´s good to be student here, in my country, there is no such special treatment for students so far i know. make me want to be a student longer and longer, haha.. joke.. ^^

by the way, i just got back from basketball practice just now. yeah, swam in the morning and basketball in the evening. super tired already, but i still wanna write this entry, haha.. what i really wanna share is, that i lost 4 kgs in these past 5 days.. hehe.. i dunno why, but i felt so motivated nowadays, maybe it is because the friend that joined me in swimming. he was pro already, that he has ever lost 30 kgs. he is very motivated to lose his weight as he keep asking me, when will we gonna swim again, tomorrow? a day after tomorrow? that makes me, umm.. ok, i can.. no problem.. it really makes me forget my limit (btw, i think there were no such limits in the first place, my mind made it up, lol..). but now, i remember how it was, when i first started my lose weight program half years ago. as the time passing by, i actually still keep trying to stick to the goal (to lose weight), but unconsciously i am doing it not as strict as before. as an example i sometimes told myself, this week it is ok to not do some sport at all, or i can eat more tha enough just for these 2 weeks, haha.. it´s indeed because of lack of self disipline, haha..

but now, starting from last thursday i got new addition of motivation power. i ate less at night and i think i done 2 sports in a day. swim for 2 hours in the morning and work out for 45 minutes in the evening or like today basketball in the evening. fiuh.. i can say, it is indeed exhausting. but i´m not complaining, this is the process to one of my dream also.

ok, i suddenly forget if i do got any writing idea anymore, umm.. i think none, that was all i thought when i decided to write this entry before. ^^

so guys, hope my story can do something good for you, either it is to accompany you when you´re bored or maybe it can motivate you in some other ways. anyway, thanks for reading..

in whatever you´re doing now.. fighting...!

FLU.....!!!

dear diary,

think i catch the flu.. (and you better don´t go near me if you dont want get infected ^^). my nose won´t stop running since i was in office today. it´s strange, my nose was alright as i swam at 7:30 AM this morning. umm.. is it the cause of my flu? wonder.. ^^

yeap, about the swim routine. it was not my idea to wake up that early just to go to swimming pool in this cold weather.. it was the idea of an old acquaintance of me. i do know what motivate him that much though. it was because he just know a few days before that i often go to swimming pool to swim in order to lose my body weight. (we met accidentally at main station). and he was very happy to know that someone else has the same goal as he is now (losing weight). from that time on, he always joins me to go to swimming pool. interesting is, that 4 or 5 years ago, he has lost 30 kgs just by doing jogging. but he is now gained 20 more kgs back in these past 2 years. that´s why he is redoing his weight loss program again now accompanied by me.

i asked him how he lost that 30 kgs before, he told me that he jogged everyday and thats not all, it was twice a day, in the morning and the evening too. wew... it does sounds extrem, doesn´t it? after hearing the "everyday" word, i felt tired already before i try that though.. um should i try that too? or should i just stick to my daily program. hmm.. it really does sound extrem to me. haha.. i think he should just stick to my swim program, we are doing my way, muahaha..

ouw.. i feel so sleepy now, and a little bit hungry too.. you know what i ate yesterday for dinner? i just ate 1 slice of wheat bread with rendang sauce. and i didn´t eat breakfast in the morning coz of the swimming, i think that´s not good to eat just before you wanna do some sport, so i skipped it. after i done 25 rounds of 100m in about 2 hours, you should now what i feel that time. tired? hungry as hell? yeah, you´re right, that was what i felt. i rush to office straight away, and certainly didn´t forget to buy and eat 2 small baguettes in the shop across my office building. and that goes my lunch. i think i will be sleepy at office because of the exhaust from the swim, but tons of work are waiting to be done today. finishing it while going back and forth to toilet, since my nose won´t stop running.. :(

oh, i should sleep now, too sleepy to continue already :) and i think i will just skip eko´s spaghetti tonight, is it because of i don´t feel that hungry anymore or that i´m curious how much i weigh tommorrow morning.. um.. i dunno which one.. but i do want to break the 97 kg curse, since i seems can´t weigh lower than that since my last entry on friday. strange.. is it my limit? T-T
hmm.. why i smell something like avocado from my pillow just now. am i imagining things now? haha.. nite all.. sweet dreams..

Win it

Dear diary,

i just got back from my morning swim routine. hmm.. (how can it become my routine if i decided to swim just yesterday night? haha..). anyhow, while seeing the swimming pool, my mind suddenly wandering off to some swimming training hall that i watched in television some time ago. The athletes there train very hard everyday, in order to win in some olympic -look alike- tournament. They want to become the champion and get those gold medals. at that time i said to myself, what if they lose and all that efforts of hard training before will go in vain instead. Isn´t it very heartbreaking?

And then for quite some time now, i realise that all my life i´ve been thinking like that in everything i do, take studying for example. it´s not that i´m afraid i´ll fail at some subjects but what i most afraid of is that, i tried hard and gave everything i got but then ended failing.

but now, just like the old sayings, the older you get, the wiser you would be. i think my thought has been wrong all this time. the heartbreaking things should not be the concern at all. rather we should say, by trying there are actually nothing to lose. on the contrary after trying hard, you won´t regret anything behind.. and even sometimes when we´re out of luck that we maybe cant achieve what we want by trying hard, at least, we must count the experience we collected, i could tell you it´s priceless. so, better not stop trying harder from now on andy..

ok, i think it´s kinda boring to talk about how lazy i was all the time, ^^ sorry.. lol.. next, let´s move on. you know that i weigh 97,3 kg now? and it become my lowest weight record in the past 4 years, astonishing isn´t it? yup, these 2 things would be my top goals for now.. i will just focus on these 2 things. first priority still will be the way to change myself to be more hardworking in studying and the second is to lose my body weight more, although i think the second priority is easier to be done than the first one, haha..

btw, i should write more of my priority, but because of this 2 things up here is really a big achievement already if i could made it, i will just stay focus on that 2 first. and as for the third one, hm.. it´s for my better half out there, haha.. could you wait for me after i deal with these 2 things first. it´s not that i consider you aren´t important because i give you this third place in my priority list, but i would like to change myself to be a better man who can plan and see a little bit where and how in the future he gonna be first and then i will come right at you. so, don´t go anywhere, stay there and wait for me ok.. ^^

btw, it´s feel nice to let out what you think and feel to others and discuss it. Now, all the weight in my shoulder become lighter and mumu has agreed to be our next housemate in the near future also. problems are solved by that i think.

ok, now time for the quote of the day :

A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
John Barrymore

last but not least, stay healthy everyone.. take good care of your health.. ciao..

Vitacimin

Dear diary,

ouch, it has been a tough 3 weeks now, that i worked everyday. (read : really almost everyday). i´ve been working without a day break in this past 3 weeks, let´s roll back a bit, in the first week i worked from monday till "saturday", umm.. forgot already what i did on sunday but then once again worked from monday till friday in the second week, and on saturday i spent my day from noon till night in the kitchen, preparing satay, hardworking e? and this week, i´m working from monday till SUNDAY, crazy no?

i think it was because i have to stay till 22PM at work yesterday (standing for almost 10 hours) and went home late in this kinda weather (very cold here right now in the night) that made me feel like i´m a little bit sick now (catched a cold maybe). huh? am i that weak or is it my limit already? ^^ think i really need to take vitamin C today, but i don´t have any stock right now, it made me remember as i was a small kid, in takengon -my hometown- my father always has vitacimin in his drawer that i would steal and eat many of it. as long as i can remember it tasted sweet, er.. not too sweet but yummy and healthy also i think.. ^^

many things happened today at work. i came a little bit later than usual (about 15 minutes) coz i chatted too long with my brothers, my youngest brother even asked me what the meaning of being mature? he is eighteen years old.. haha.. i can say, it´s really quite a rare chance that he opened up to me like that, i mean open up to another people in general. my older brother who is living with him just told me the other day, that this youngest brother of us don´t like to talk to him about anything at all.. haha.. he always keep his thought within. anyway, i´m glad that you still can trust me your brother though. what i want to say here is, it´s not that i am better or nicer than my older brother, but it seems everybody in my family talks a lot more to me when they have problems or questions, and i would definetely help them as long as i´m capable of helping, and i do it happily too, u know why right? it´s makes me feel needed and still being loved too.. hahaha.. and i´m still a mr. nice guy after all, hehe.. *lebay mode*

ok back to 15 minutes late at work.. umm.. my chief greeted me with "nah, overslept today". i don´t know if she was joking or not, but does that 15 minutes really that important, considering that i´ve stayed there over 3 hours extratime the night before. anyhow it was my mistake, ok, i´m sorry, ^^ (i want to say that right away to her that i was sorry, but my brain is so slow, that i can say it just now, *devilish smile* hehe..). just like the ad that i saw in the past weeks, that words of german people is harsher that what they really means.. ^^

and i still made some small mistakes here and there at work today too. how come i overlooked a 2 o´clock appointed time-slip assignment, i made my co-worker a little bit annoyed that she must hurrily cut the drawings and send it to the customers right away. -.-

my chief came by like every hour to ask me who i want to take with me to work this sunday, she even told me that she don´t really very like tanidi to work there, since she recognised him as a guy with very many mistakes. how come she thinks like that i wonder. tanidi had just worked there for 2 or 3 days at most, it just a normal case for new guys to make mistake, but to not like him that much, hmm.. dunno, however i should warn tanidi that he should careful and take a lot more attention while working there. my chief even added, workplace is not a playground to play around, ouw.. that has deep meaning.. but thinking of tanidi´s characteristic, it will be not easy to say that he made mistakes at work, since i have never hear him admiting anything if he did made any, he is always right, that´s what he always made us believe, hehe.. but as his friend, i better warn him, right? telling you this, i sound of like i´m judging tanidi. but let me make it clear, i always think, judging another people is not a good thing to do, what rights do i have that i can judge another people.. ^^

aih.. really need to sleep now. i wonder how could i arrive at schönefeld´s workplace at 9 AM tomorrow if i´m still fully awake now.. ^^

some random quote that i found on my facebook, i like it :

success seems to be connected with action. successful people keep moving. they make mistakes, but they don't quit.
