Wahahahahahahahaha,
world is indeed so small :P

Last night i worked overtime (again … ) doing system migration from one data center to another. Feel a little bit boring, so i logged in to my friendster. Read messages, send birthday cards, etc etc. Then i search for whoever graduated from SD Banjararum 3. So I choosed search by school, enter Banjararum as keyword and then the list came out .. about 3 pages.
My eyes bumped into a nickname which was so familiar. Zubeth. Check on her profile, same SD, same SMP. Check on her age, yah .. it should be her. Then i sent her a message to confirm.
This morning i got reply … it is her !!!! wahahahahahaha. Zubethhhhh (it as Jubeth actually) how are you, Sis ? Last time we met should be in 94 .. the day we graduated from SMPN 01 Singosari. So it’s about 13 years now.
Gosh, just after i sent you that message, i feel like having flash back to the days in SD and SMP :)
FYI, Jubeth was always be number #1 in SD since 4th – 6th grade if i’m not mistaken. Bener ga, Beth ? Heuehueuehuehueu *yawn*
Did some research …
Zubeth aka Zubaidah Ningsih AS, Ssi … Dosen Kimia FMIPA Unibraw. Now she’s in School of Chemistry Melbourne University for a scholarship, i guess. Right, Beth?

*yawn*
Eww, i think i will continue sleeping now :P

Another cloudy day
Another accident
Another plane crash

Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji`uun

This morning, an airplane from Garuda Indonesia Airways (GA 200) caught fire as it landed at Yogyakarta. Based on TV report, there was sparkling fire ignited from front wheel when it’s landing. The plane couldn’t stop until the end of the runway then it burned. Some say the fire came from both part of the wings and also from tail (liputan6.com).
The Boeing 737-400 carried 140 passengers. It’s reported that 76 people survived, with 66 taken to hospitals. The rest is still unknown. But it’s also reported (i’m not sure it’s officially or not) that dozens of passenger burnt to death in front area of the plane.

*sigh*

Liverpool finally made the way to the UCL quarter final. I hope MU will also join Liverpool.

I was trying to send MMS about Indonesian Playboy Magazine couple days ago. Normally, the MMS would appear in this blog as a new entry. You can see my previous MMS post below. It did not appear and I also received no SMS notification.
Eww, somethin’s gone wrong…
Try to login to blogger.com and then I found the cause why my mms post did not appear in my blog. It was because I have migrate my old blogger account to the new one (using Google account). Aaarrggghhh, I forgot ’bout it. Now, I’m reading all documentation I could found (via google, of course) to develop new version to accommodate this condition. New version will use Google Data (GData) API instead of Blogger API or Atom API which are being used in my MMS2Blogger.com application.
Hmm, no more Gundam for this weekend….

Ini bukan poto saya loh. Tapi poto si Dedy yang sedang memeriksa T30 + Ubuntu saya. Maklum, IBM T30 saya mo dia beli :P

Hong Kong … yah gitu-gitu ajah sih kotanya. Salah satu keberhasilan Inggris mengubah gugusan pulau karang menjadi salah satu kota yg menjadi sentra ekonomi dunia. Namun walo hanya gugusan pulau karang, Hong Kong tetap menjadi daya tarik wisatawan. Mulai mengunjungi Disneyland (yang super-duper-boring IMHO) hingga wisata shopping. Nah salah satu magnet wisata Hong Kong akan ditampilkan akhir minggu ini.

Jadi kebetulan kamu saat ini sedang di Hong Kong, jangan pulang sebelum tanggal 19 Februari yah :P Tanggal 19 Februari nanti sekitar jam 8 malam akan ada pertunjukan akbar pesta kembang api dalam rangka menyambut Chinese New Year, tahun Babi (yuck) :P

Seperti biasa, pesta kembang api ini akan diadakan di Victoria Harbour, antara Central dan Tsim Sha Tsui. Tahun kemarin ajah lebih dari 35ribu orang ngumpul di sini, jadi kalo emang mo nonton jangan sampe telat atau datang mepet waktu. Selain penuh orang, lalu lintas juga akan ditutup. Jadi perhatikan benar pengumuman-pengumuman yang ada.

Pesta kembang api yang dikenal sebagai Lunar New Year Fireworks Display adalah acara tahunan yang diajakan sejak sekitar tahun 1982. Kenapa tahun ini diadakan tanggal 19, padahal Imlek kan jatuhnya tanggal 18? Karena ya karena (dangdut deh) pesta kembang api ini emang diadakan setiap hari kedua Imlek. Hari pertama mereka pasti sedang ritual merayakan imlek di kuil atau rumah bersama keluarga masing-masing lah. Selain itu, 3 hari pertama Imlek jadi hari libur kalo di Hong Kong.

Sebenarnya sih, kembang api dilarang di Hongkong untuk alasan keamanan. Nah tahun 1982 lalu, sebuah perusahaan bernama Jardine Matheson menyeponsori sebuah festival kembang api dalam rangka merayakan ulang tahunnya yang ke-150. Nah even ini ternyata mendapat respon yang sangat bagus dari publik. Jadilah sejak itu pesta kembang api ini menjadi acara tahunan di Hong Kong, dan diadakan lebih spesifik lagi untuk menyambut Chinese New Year.
