I Have No Idea
I really really have no idea on what’s happening to me now. Either i am too lucky or I am too unlucky.
Re-considering things is not easy to do, the same goes for choosing. Especially when the options are both great.
It’s all clear if we see it from above
From Above – Ben Folds
They even looked at each other once across a crowded bar
He was with Martha, she was with Tom
Neither of them really knew what was going on
Strange feeling of never
Heartbeats becoming synchronized
and staying that way forever
Most of the time it was just near misses
Air kisses, once at a bookstore, once at a party
She came in as he was leaving
And years ago at the movies, she sat behind him
A 6:30 showing of ‘While You Were Sleeping’
He never once looked around
[Chorus:]
It’s so easy from above
You can really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there’s nothing to be done for them
It doesn’t work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day, oh no
And it’s not like they were ever actually unhappy in the lives they lived
He married Martha, she married Tom
Just this vague notion that something was wrong
A naked absence, a phantom limb
An itch that could never be scratched
[Chorus]
Neither of them knew what was going on
A strange feeling of never
Heartbeats becoming synchronized
And staying that way forever
Who knows whether that’s how it should be
Maybe our ghosts live in that vacancy
Maybe that’s how books get written
Maybe that’s why songs get sung
Maybe we are the unlucky ones
[Chorus]
Maybe that’s how books get written
Maybe that’s why songs get sung
Maybe we are the unlucky ones [x2]
Cheer up
It’s April already.
You have said everything you want and stated clearly what you want.
And now it’s the time to walk the talk.
Heartbreak Warfare
Heartbreak Warfare
Lightning strikes
Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare
If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?
If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare.
If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?
If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?
Just say so…
How come the only way to know how high you get me
is to see how far I fall
God only knows how much I’d love you if you let me
but I can’t break through at all.
It’s a heartbreak…
I don’t care if we don’t sleep at all tonight
Let’s just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we’re gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down
Red wine and ambien
You’re talking shit again, it’s heartbreak warfare
Good to know it’s all a game
Disappointment has a name, it’s heartbreak, heartbreak.
It’s heartbreak warfare.
It’s heartbreak warfare.
It’s heartbreak warfare.

My praise to all HR expert in the world. I have been involved in a project and developed proposal to assist client’s problem in HR aspects of their companies, but HR is still an abstract concept for me. Regardless of how good my managers are or even how stupid I am, most of the times the owners of the companies address their problem in inaccurately. Because not many of them are familiar with HR issues, so they told us the story which has no relevancies with something that they really need. Furthermore, most of the times the preliminary judgment of theirs are biased. Since it is a human factor related problem, of course we are all cannot be one hundred percent be neutral. Their personal experience made them think like that. And it is not wrong.
I, personally, want to be expert in this field. I had developed my own learning plan and resulted in nothing. Why? My learning plan was to read all sources about HR from my companies’s knowledge repository or textbooks. At first I thought there’s nothing wrong with it, as i was doing all this when i was a student long time ago. However, it turned out that it is inefficient way of learning if you are really working in a company and need a day-to-day analysis and problem solving ability. So I changed my style of learning into a more practical way (in my opinion).
I started to use some problem solving tools such as 5w 1h tools. What, why, when, where, and how have helped me in “tuning” more quickly if I have a situation with client. Exercising your mind with that kind of tools is giving you more added value in understanding client’s problem. The tools such as problem sovling tools, or BCG matrix or the other tools can actually exercise your mind rather than reading a thick textbook. Considering time limitation, this way of learning is much more efficient although not actually really effective in understanding the subject. Well, there’s always a price to pay anyway. I am not throwing away my textbooks, but I read it whenever I need reference. But my main priority is to do more, exercise more, andread less (but still reading).
The Pursuit of Research
Dear all,
As mentioned on the title, I am currently pursuing a research program from one of the top universities. The research is about the government of Indonesia, which has always been my interest to study. However, I developed the research proposal with my limited knowledge throughout my career as a consultant for Government as well as independent research (discussion with fellows in government and internet research).
With this letter, I am hoping that all of you will support me because I need it. Please. It would be really nice if you can just whisper “goodluck” in front of your computer while reading my letter. Thank you very much.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Go for it, Wyclef!
I guess the artist-become-politican hype are not just in my country, Indonesia. In Haiti, Wyclef Jean is seriously running for presidency. Well, I hope he isn’t just using his fame to gain numbers of vote. By the way, does anyone where can I get information about his vision, mission, or his speech?
What’s with the negativity? The world is not just about you. It’s about you, me, and the others. I won’t be destroyed by all the corrupt attitude that has bestowed upon me. I will carry on. Along with my positive attitude and strongwill.
K-12 on a website
People may dream about creating an academy. However, that kind of dream needs a lot of cash and effort to create a great and famous one. The imagination may will always the carnage of the pessimist. The pessimist doctrine is as poisonous as the venom to the people’s hope and imagination, but not today for Khanacademy.org.
The dream about creating a world-class academy does not need lots of money and enormous labor work. It even does not need a big building with hundreds of chairs and computers. It only needs Sal Khan, a 33 year-old former hedge fund manager and Harvard MBA graduate. He owns the khanacademy.org website and posts it with lots of teaching videos with various subjects. It was all started because he wants to help his nephew to study math in a different part of the country. At first he was doing online teaching through the internet, but due to the time differences, finally he posted all of his teaching videos on youtube. We all know how public the youtube could be, then some of the other youtube users found out that the way Khan’s teach is easily understood. As Khan’s tutor fans increasing on the internet with all comments and demands about other topics, he keep posted more and more topics. Now you can browse 1800+ video in various topics, from Algebra to history and Geithner plan.
It appears that Bill Gates was really impressed with the cheapest academy with only one lecturer and one computer. The Fortune magazine wrote an article about his amusement about this website. “It is awesome how much he has done with very little in the way of resources.” said Bill Gates. What are you waiting for? Let’s join the class now!
