Happy Mother Day

Happy Mother Day ^^

Wish all mother in this world happy, healthy, pretty and wealthy always hehe ;-P
This year mother's day is a happiest to me, the reason is we got to gather together all family members and we also took a lot of photos together, hohoho. My family seldom take photo together, thats why it makes me so happy.

We bought a necklace for mum and had lunch on Nature Restaurant, a vegetarian restaurant. Speaking of which, the restaurant service are bad! Me and my sister went ahead to restaurant this morning for book the table, but they told us its fully booked all the table from 12:00 to 16:00. We were quite sad and went back to home and reported this news. 1 hour after that my brother in-law told me that we got a table in that restaurant, i was like "WTH!!!, why?". The reason is very simple, you will get to reserve a table if you book via phone. I was kinda exploed, WTH is this restaurant? I went to the direct location couldn't reserve, but via phone can. But anyway so long its happy ending its all right, peace :-D

Well that's all my mother day story, disappointed, surprise, happy, bless thats what i felt, how about urs? Care to share urs to me? Please comment....

AWSome Day Event in SG

Today i attended "AWSome Day" event in Singapore, the first Amazon Web Service (AWS) Could Day in Asia.Very crowded, its free after all, and i just received the info that i got a seat the yesterday morning although i registered around 2 weeks ago, sigh... It was held on NTUC, same building with the Microsoft office. I went to Microsoft office before for a showcase on a seminar i took from SIM, and today i'm going there feels like yesterday i just went to Microsoft office.

It's a good event, i'm glad i got a seat, thanks Amazon giving me this chance to see your technology. The agenda is to let us know most of the AWS services such as :

• AWS Cloud Compute
• AWS Cloud Storage
• AWS Cloud Networking
• AWS Cloud Database
• AWS Cloud Application Services
• AWS Cloud Security, Deployment, Management & Myths

The product service that i have the biggest impression are the Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), the simple storage which Dropbox also using this service!, Amazon Redshift for data warehouse which can be used for BI analysis and 1 more service i couldn't find it on AWS website, it's regarding the cloud function for deployment purposes.

Well at the end of event, we also got some lucky draw for Amazon Kindle and some Amazon $100 vouchers, but as usual i always got nothing from lucky draw hikz... So what i got is the attendance certificate, student guide, and a limited edition Amazon T-Shirt, lol the speaker keep emphasized this T-Shirt is the limited edition.

Running Man 2nd experience @ BCS

Running Man, the very popular variety show on Korea, too funny that me and my girlfriend could spend 1 day full just watching this variety show. They have a lot of unique games inside for all member of running man to take as mission to complete and decide the winner. 1 of the famous game is hide and seek.

I played once in my company event, but i'm going to write my 2nd experience playing running man with my friends; Atek, Exwin, Sendi, Tony, Septi, Xiao Bai, Erlyn. We divided into 2 teams

Blue Team	vs	Red Team
Stone		Sendi
Atek		Tony
Erlyn		Septi
Xiao Bai

Exwin's role is the PD for our mission. Our mission location is at BCS Mall Batam, located at an area at Batam Island called "Nagoya" and well known as "Batam Chinese Town" area. We went to mall after all the store had closed and hide inside for play running man ^^ lets roll...

1st challenge is Blue Team as Mission Team and Red Team as Seeker. We got 2 missions from Exwin PD, whereby :

1. We have to take 5 pictures of store's name where the name must have the same alphabet side by side as the condition.
   
   
   
2. We have to find 8 out of 10 pieces of ripped carton among 2nd and 3rd floor
   
   
   

The funny thing is that either mission team or seeker need to avoid security check inside mall, because at the time whereby all store had closed we're not supposed to wondering inside the mall anymore lol. Well for 1st challenge we were lost, we had caught by seeker team, we only managed to finish mission no.1 and found 1 piece of ripped carton for mission no.2.

2nd challenge, we swap the position, now blue team as seeker and red team as mission team. The mission were same but we make it easier since it's too hard to find things inside mall while there'r a lot of securities, so we changed into 4 ripped cartons hidden at top floor @ car park.

This time, the security get alert and form a team with 3 securities to stop us wondering around the mall lol... Most of us are being caught by security but we just ignored them pretend nothing happened and just go away haha... End of the game were draw, they got caught by us as well.

I assume we won't go to the mall for time being for playing running man but find new location to play again. Remember don't try this at your region! Hahaha, we're just a running man fans wanna try it out for fun only.. peace ^^

Jogjakarta

~~Newest Stone Adventure on 2010 - Jogjakarta~~

Sudah lama tidak adventure ne... Kali ini visit ke Jogjakarta untuk melihat Candi Borobudur, salah satu dari 7 keajaiban dunia hehe... Holiday 4D3N (15 February - 18 February 2010) bersama keluarga g and dear g. Kita terbang kesana dengan menggunakan Airasia (cost $126) so butuh lewat Singapore baru ke Jogjakarta.

Sebelum pergi kami berangkat 1 hari sebelum hari penerbangan ke Singapore tanggal 14 February, tepatnya hari Valentine. Haiz... terpaksa vday ke Singapore karena takut terlambat ke airport soalnya jadwal penerbangan kami pada pagi hari. Dan lebih sialnya sewaktu antri naik taxi di Singapore, saya ketemu satu orang gila (mungkin mabuk atau stress) dan bertengkar disana gara-gara antrian panjang dan taxi semuanya on-call. What a day! Well whatever d, habis tuh pagi-pagi kami bangun dan langsung berangkat ke Jogjakarta... Here i come !!!

Setelah nyampai di Jogjakarta, kami langsung menuju hotel Kristina yang sebelumnya sudah kami book di Batam. Disana kami book 1 family room dan 2 standard room. Mayan ok lar 1 malam untuk standard room adalah Rp. 210.000. Kalau teman-teman mau visit ke Jogjakarta, saya sarankan tinggal disana ok juga. Lokasinya di Jl.Dagen dekat kota dan ke airport sekitar 30 menit. And then kami mencari transport yang murah disekitarnya dan dapat Rp. 400.000 per 10 jam 1 hari. Itu adalah harga paling murah yang saya dapat disana.

After that kami jalan-jalan di Jl.Marioboro, disana banyak sekali orang jual-jualan makanan, baju, aksesoris dan banyak sekali. Jika teman-teman kesana jangan lupa 1 kata "bargain" ! Tawarlar harga serendah mungkin karena sebenarnya barangnya tidak mahal, tetapi orangnya menaikkan sampai tinggi karena kita tourist. Barang Rp. 50.000 harus tawarkan sampai Rp. 15.000 baru ok hehe...

Well tempat wisata yang kami visit pertama adalah Candi Borobudur. Sebenarnya Candi Borobudur tidak berada di wilayah Jogjakarta, melainkan di Jawa Tengah. Dari hotel ke sana membutuhkan waktu sekitar 1jam lebih. Disana banjir orang jual-jualan oleh-oleh, T-Shirt dan sebagainya. Pas kami sampai disana panas sekali !!! Hot man !!! Btw disana ada yang rental payung juga, so tidak usah khawatir kalau lupa membawa payung kesana hahaha.... Candi Borobudur sangat besar, sangat cantik dan unik. Jika sudah sampai sana, jangan lupa untuk mencoba untuk memegang patung yang berada dipaling atas candi. Soalnya disana ada mitos bahwa barang siapa yang dapat memegang patung yang berada didalam candi itu akan mendapat keberuntungan... hokkie gitu lor.

After Candi, kami singgah ke Gunung Merapi. Perjalanan sekitar 45 menit. Disana kami foto-foto dan mendengar sedikit cerita tentang gunung api tersebut. Sewaktu Gunung Merapi meletus, penduduk setempat sempat foto dan hasil foto tersebut terlihat bahwa laharnya mirip dengan gambar seorang cewek. Jadi mereka percaya bahwa ada rohnya didalam gunung api tersebut. Dan dekat sana juga ada sebuah underground tempat penduduk berdiam diri sewaktu gunung api meletus.



Next kami kembali ke Jl. Marioboro. Dan disana kami pergi ke Plaza terbesarnya jalan-jalan. Well ga jauh beda dengan mall di Batam. Oh ya note untuk teman-teman yang pengen ke Jogjakarta, di Jl. Marioboro kita bisa naik becak atau becak kuda untuk keliling di wilayah sekitarnya. Kita akan dibawanya keliling-keliling Kraton, beli T-Shirt, dan juga oleh-oleh khas Jogja, Bapia Pathok.



Hari berikutnya kami jalan-jalan ke Kraton, tempat peninggalan sultan (museum). After that kami langsung berangkat ke Candi Prambanan. Disana aga sepi dibanding Candi Borobudur. Menurut saya letak struktur Candi Prambanan lebih cantik dan rapi dibanding Candi Borobudur. Tapi sekarang tempat wisata ini mungkin aga menurut derajatnya karena Candi Prambanan dilanda gempa dulu dan kebanyakan arsiteknya hancur. Dan didalam Candi Prambanan terdapat 8 candi, dan candi terbesar sekarang di larang masuk. Saya dengar dari para turis yang kebetulan kesana itu bahwa ada patung didalam candi terbesar itu hilang karena diculik. Well wonder its true or not???

After that kami ke Pantai Parangtritis. Nah inilah yang paling saya recommend sebagai tempat wisata yang paling bagus di Jogjakarta. Pantai ini sangat cantik, but jangan coba-coba untuk berenang ya! Karena ombaknya sangat besar dan telah memakan banyak korban terutama anak kecil! Dipantai ini enaknya adalah kita dapat naik kuda keliling pantai. Ini juga pengalaman pertama saya naik kuda sendirian tanpa dipandu oleh petugasnya. Well its so exciting to ride horse along the beach hohoho... 1 keliling naik kuda harganya Rp. 25.000, its worth to try!!!

After that kembali lagi ke hotel dan itulah akhir dari perjalanan saya di Jogjakarta. Well selama di Jogjakarta menyenangkan juga. Tips saya untuk teman-teman adalah sewaktu belanja apapun ingat bargain! Karena kalau tidak bargain bakal rugi! Well sewaktu belanja oleh-oleh saya juga discover ada pelukis jalanan yang gambar wajah orang. Jadi iseng-iseng saja saya minta digambarin wajah saya dan dear saya. inilah hasilnya dibawah ini hahaha...


Yah lumayanlah buat fond memories di Jogjakarta. Gambar ini saya lagi santai duduk becak dan dear saya yang drive hahaha... Ini dibuat seperti ini karena saya request untuk digambar dalam bentuk kartun hehe... Lucu juga kadang melihat gambar ini hahaha...

Well sampai disini telah the end of my adventure on Jogjakarta... So sad, seperti biasanya holiday itu cepat lewatnya. Yah di Jogja ini memang menyenangkan tapi melelahkan karena cuacanya panas minta ampun. Menurut saya tempat ini datang 1x sudah ok. Tidak butuh lebih dari satu kali karena bisa bosan hehe... Total budget dari Batam-Singapore-Jogjakarta total baik dari penginapan, transport, makan, dan main dari holiday saya sekitar Rp. 2.000.000 untuk 4D3N sudah lebih dari cukup. Well can't wait until my next adventure on Bali, cause 2 weeks later i'll be on Bali for new adventure!!! C u there ;)

Well it caused by my girlfriend has to go to Bali for few months accompany her mom holiday... She was so cruel leaving me behind after few days we were dating. But i was actually very happy that she came back sooner than schedule to surprised me at Xmas. I was very tired at that time, and she came by to my side, make my heart feel warms. Thanks my dear, love you so much.

To make the anniversary of my first date meaningful, i planned to surprise her as well. I learned how to fold origami roses on website and make a lot of them. And put them on a cork with love shape and warp them with plastic and some decoration on the border.

Yesterday, 6th January 2010 is our 2nd Month Anniversary. I gave her this special gift and she were very happy. So its victory to me after all this effort to do this. Fiuh... really tired, i'd spend many extra times on each night to do this.

After i gave her this gift, i received a gift from her as well. Wow its chocolate !!! And have many different shapes with letter on it. She specially made for me, so touch. Thanks dear love you ^_^

Well let's see... what trick should i use on this valentine day... Any suggestion from you? Comment here and share with us :D

Origami Rose

Salah satu tanda untuk membuktikan anda mencintai seseorang adalah memberikan bunga rose. Bunga rose sudah menjadi tradisi bagi semua cowok sebagai tanda cinta untuk diberikan kepada cewek kesukaannya.

Menurut saya bunga rose memang cantik, tapi tidak dapat bertahan lama... Apalagi di negara saya tinggal, bunga rose paling lama dapat bertahan selama 1, 2 minggu. Setelah itu paling kita dapat ambil daunnya untuk di simpan. Jadi hanya berlaku temporary.., so is it worth??

Tapi lain hal jika kita membuat rose dengan origami. Origami rose adalah ide saya sewaktu browsing mencari kado-kado yang agak special. Ada banyak sekali versi origami rose, cara pelipatannya dan juga bentuk-bentuknya. Dan saya memilih yang terbagus antaranya... Stepnya memang banyak sekali dan susah sekali melipatnya, but once you'd master it, it's just small case hohohoho...

Ini saya share link langkah-langkah pembuatan origami rose dalam bentuk image dan video. Mungkin saja Anda setelah membaca blog saya ini, pingin membuatnya juga untuk cewek kesukaanmu ;)
