Hard ?

It is so hard to work with rules ?

Apalah susahnya ikuti saja aturan kerja yang sudah ada dan kerjakan dengan tanggung jawab dan saya mau hasil yang keluar seperti yang telah kita sepakati. dan seperti harga yang telah saya bayar. Kenapa bolak balik harus alasan toleransi bullshit.

This is what happen at the work place. i think the worker have a little bit problem with listening or they purposely doing it because the think im not gonna check any of their work on field.

This is their style , they talk cock sing song . they talk so nice about getting the job done perfectly, AND at the end IM still NOT HAPPY WITH IT.

i remember telling him . 90 percent out of 100 percent is acceptable , so the 10 percent of toleration is enough.

For the next 2nd JAN 2011. IM GONNA TALK LOUDER LOUDER AND LOUDER.

 I want my working system to work . im gonna put all the toleration bullshit aside. If you can't follow me or you keep came out with lots of alasan alasan alasan. i will replace you and put you somewhere else.

Happy new year 2011

Chinese proverb

Duck

As I still can remember clearly ten years ago.

It was january 2000 back then when I'm still at mallacca - malaysia .

My lovely sister birthday. Even she always "jewer" me but she had been so supportive to me till now.

And this is the present that I bought with accumulative of my daily pocket money at MHS. ( Methodist high school ) mallacca.

I don't know why I bought this type of duck.

Hehe... Its just a duck but this duck bring me back to memories.

Holla

Its been sometime . I'm totally busy with girlfriend . She visit me for a week and for our marriage class at the paroki st. Paulus.

I'm having a good time with her. But again we are separated away. 12 hours on road.

Lots of things to catch up nowadays , I have to ready with the wedding invitation card, my business card , my sofa stuff , my swimming students and currently the interior design stuff. Anyway that can make money la , so can spend the rest of it when I visit taiwan in the future.

Its " what ever you called it lah"

What is wrong with this people ? its Friday 5th November

Like everyone else , we did pay our tax for every month, hoping that the government service will be better and better.

So i just went to the "Kantor Lurah" The local Village chief office. kedatangan ku ini bertujuan untuk meminta surat pernyataan bahwa aku belum menikah, tentu saja syarat-syarat untuk membuat surat pernyataan itu pun aku lengkapi seperti kartu keluarga dan KTP.

pertama kali masuk ke dalam kantor lurah , seperti biasanya , ASAP rokok yang datang menyambut , staff yang berkeliaran dengan kaki ayam dan tidur di sofa ruang tunggu sambil mengangkat kakinya.

Setelah menyampaikan maksud ku ke pak Lurah , surat pun di buat . dan tanpa Malu , pak lurah berkata : (bla bla bla bla bla ) intinya minta duit deh. (tolong ya kami bertiga di kantor ini di kasi berapa lah)

jadi fikir ku , ohh mungkin untuk buat surat pernyataan ini harus membayar uang (karena terakhir buat KTP dengan pak lurah memang dia meminta uang 100.000 untuk pengurusan KTP (maklum gue baru pulang sekolah merasa yah wajar lah namanya mengurus KTP)

( yah dalam hati mungkin aja protokol nya seperti itu , dan seperti biasa sih klo ngurus surat ya duit suka rela pasti keluar lah , 10ribu atau 20 ribu)


ternyata setelah ku kasih 20.000 ,

pak lurah : Apa ini cuman 20.000 mana cukup untuk kita bertiga ( kebetulan di kantor lurah saat itu ada 3 orang) mana cukup , paling nga satu orang 20.000 lah.

Me : Haa , pak biasa ngurus surat kaya gini perlu bayar berapa sih pak

Pak Lurah : bukan begitu , ini kan kami bantu kamu

Me : ia pak biasa berapa uang pak untuk ngurus surat ini. supaya saya pun tau tariff nya.

Pak Lurah : biasa kalo lengkap tanda tangan orang tua kamu , biasa 10.000 . ini kan tidak ada tanda tangan nya. jadi kami bantu dulu.

Me : orang tua saya kan hari minggu pulang dari dumai pak. klo begitu hari senin saya bawa lagi suratnya ke sini pak.

Pak lurah : ia Ok.

KNNCCB @!^&#!%@^#@!*$*@!#@! Its not about the money , but they have No Discipline , No etiquette , what ever you called it lah , its all them.

Its that 20.000 x 3 people will make them happy. why cant they just take 2 minute to think about their job.

motto mereka adalah : Kalau bisa di PERSULIT , kenapa di PERMUDAH

T.G.I.F

A very bad early morning report from jungle.

Workers run away again, this time even worse , 2 generator set and BIG debt like 5000sgd . all gone be gone .

T.G.I.F

and i found out who finished my  biscuits.

Finally , congratulation oput . Finally after 6 months , you are running again today.

Afternoon jogging … Not bad . I complete kurang lebih 2km in 34 minute. im running slow . because im so heavy . too much fat inside the pocket.

I will make my Running schedule soon.

Someone finished my biscuits

Grrrrr Someone finished my biscuits ... lots of gorillas at home ...

Or maybe its me ?? cant remember

no worry . i got hide some spare biscuits he he ...

Kabut yang mengelabui

Awal yang cerah , sekarang ini sebisa mungkin aku luangkan waktu untuk angkat barbel sebelum morning shower nih. He he . biasa lah , strengthen my shoulder. bahu kiri bekas cidera polo air akan terasa lemah kalau tidak latihan angkat barbel.

sambil bersiul siul and Look at the mirror . OH MY DOG ....  she is coming at 10th Nov . aku harus segera cut hair and shave nih He He , must look good.


Pekerjaan hari ini LHuMhaYhan Berthumphuk. harus ke luar kota di dua tempat yang berbeda . satu di wood working factory dan satu lagi tempat biasa Jungle Minas . ya lumayan lah hitung2 buat jalan2 refreshing eyes sekalian. Tapi ternyata bukan refreshing yg kudapat. Mobil2 yang melintas di jalan raya bangkinang emang gelo . hampir aja tabrakan adu banteng. dengan mobil hitam suzuki AVP yg gila memotong jalan orang.

Apa sih salahnya ? Coba luangkan waktu 2 menit saja untuk memikirkan keselamatan . 2 menit saja.
Coba pikirkan " Kebahagiaan keluarga anda adalah ketika anda pulang dengan selamat "

Perlahan namun pasti ,  kabut tidak lagi sengaja mengelabui pikiran ini. Rasa percaya itu datang seperti matahari pasti akan terbit besok. harus PD sikit donk klo suatu saat aku akan berhasil.. Tapi semua ini tidak terlepas dari didikan Pop n Mom. Mereka lah selama ini tidak henti2nya memberikan motivasi and support. dan juga temen2 seperti Sep Bet and Andi yang selalu memberikan Online Motivation lewat blog , Msn , facebook yahoo. haha

Bak Mie Khek @ MEDAN

 Sleepy face or hungry face ??

Her mommy brought us to this place, not very far from home . we walked ,this is nice ,we had our little sport before breakfast and i can took some picture with my Canon . enjoy the morning air , and the sound pollution  @ medan. People are rushing . they horn here and there. they horn continuously.

The Colorful chopstick for Colorful morning.

Hakka Braised Pork noodles

  

Wanhan's mum told us that this Bakmie Khek is one of her favorite. so it is the time for me to try it out.

This noodle showing the simplicity in life. everything is so original , smooth and that is what i love about this Bakmie Khek. DELICIOUS. they cooked it with heart.

Trust me , one bowl its not enough . if you are on diet . please put a hold on that . Eat first , diet later

Dim Sum @ Nelayan

I can say the foods here are "OK" only . Tell you Why. Maybe they just forget how to give their best to the customer.

And Some other Dimsum

Building an Orange tower

I love orange . i can have three orange after and before dinner.

Halloween or Hallowe'en

Happy
Halloween

2010
everyone.
 

Sunday with Two banana

Finnaly , I complete my sunday

Swimming Class - Checked

Collecting Sofa money - Checked

Go Jungle - Checked

Buy Fruits - Checked 

lately its getting easier for me to get a cramp while " showing off " my college free style to my students . so i decide to had a banana this morning to avoid cramp . and just coincidence , Kenneth's mom also gave me Fried Banana after the class. 

just as you know like i always did "paiseh2"  eat the fried banana . one banana is never enough , but at that time ,eating one banana in front of them , is already feels like having five banana at once . so i stop at one banana.

this time Kenneth's father also came for swim . what a happy family .hopefully they buy sofa from me and hopefully i have my future happy family too ...

happy Sunday and happy Halloween everyone

Taman Simalem Resort - Pearl of Lake Toba - Part 3

Lets us move to the part 3 of my unforgettable trip to Simalem.

I wet my pants here.OMD , So stupid i sit on the wet stairs ... errr suddently my butt felt cold . but it dry very quick lhooo ..

Anyway , She is wearing the Crocs , very useful because the whole area is wet and its kind of slippery. so pips , if you want to enjoy your pre-wedding photography session , please wear what ever things that makes you feel comfortable . so then you will have your best smile on that moment.

We are now moving from "Amphitheater " to the Temple "Tianzhu Chansi".

 

Making a turn to the left , we passed the Fountain . but its not working that time. 

Tempat ini bersih , aku tidak melihat sampah di mana mana . tempatnya masi adem juga that time. we get lucky , ppl there told us that if its not raining , the the place will be so hot at that time . Phiuhhhh . i cant imagine klo panas nya sambil prewed photo ini. thanks God.

 

She looks tired , can see from the face . but i hope she feels like the way i feels . im tired but im damm happy.

I bet he got a good Kungfu . He is the security guard without self defense equipment. pentungan kek ato apa kek ... err.... ( i open the window and saying hi to him while taking this picture) haha he is half smiling ...

We are arriving at the Temple " Tianzhu Chansi" ukiran ukiran di dinding temple tersebut sangat lah indah . love the details.

Wanhan posing right in front of the temple entrance.

Finished the Pose at temple . this is us again ....

Ok we are now moving to the next place . i called it Small waterfall. hujan nya tambah deras nih. but still can photo lah that time .

This is the bridge to the waterfall , we are passing the honeymoon suit. ( i dont thing im gonna choose this place ) still hutan sure still got lot of ghost la

The small water fall , the place is super slippery , so have to be careful ya . tempatnya ini licin2 . kursi yang ada di sebelah kiri pun berlumut2 . aiks ...

 

I love this one. haha i took it while the rain is getting big , Assistant photographer , Wanhan and the helper is running back to the car now. safely arrived at the car and we are finding the place to get change.

Yahooooooo  this is the last part. the One Tree Hill , its our casual wear here.

Look what i found , actually this grasshopper is flying around me . i'm trying to catch him (just assume that the grasshopper is male ai'right) and  slowly he get tired , maybe its so cold and raining . so finally the grasshopper landed on the wet floor and he gave me time to use the macro zoom on him . haha . he is a beautiful strong grasshopper. he is so green  and he remind me of the Satria Baja hitam
