i checked out "dreamer's reality" on google and it returned about 9,650 pages.

storm is brewing. thunders are growling. it's only 5 pm but it's getting real dark. no, this is not a suspense thriller. i'm describing the weather outside.

i'm checking out now.

i've been sick since last monday. last week i only came to office on tuesday. the doctor said it's the bug in the air and the weather could make it worse too.

thursday night i drove to the island up north to spend some quiet time. however, i was kept indoors by my cough and fever. it was a good trip overall.

my headache is still with me and i still feel feverish although the coughing has gone. i'm tired and i want to go home now. oh ya i need to stop by the shop to pick up a cheese cake. yummy!

Shattered Dreams by Johnny Hates Jazz is playing on the radio ... hmmmm .... it does bring back memories.

this song by spring has been my earworm since i woke up ...

kau dan aku sudah ditakdirkan bertemu
dan tiba-tiba kita jatuh cinta
ini semua sudah suratan ilahi
dan kita harus tabah hadapi kenyataan

translated, it means something like this ...

you and i were destined to meet
and to fall in love
this is all written by god
and we must be strong to face reality

woooo hoooooo!

one busy and very productive week it has been. april will be full of deadlines but i'm taking a short breather next weekend. can't wait can't wait ;-)

wooo hooo!

"kerusi merah gelegakkan darah,
kerusi biru bangkitkan rindu."

translated, the two lines read:
red chair boils my blood,
blue chair makes me aroused.

wooo hooo!

A Tribute to the Company

14 years even. that's how long i've been working for this company. i'll be in my fifteenth year tomorrow, god willing.

my objectives of working are to have fun, to learn, and to make money, in that order.

there's a lot of fun working here. for me fun comes in the form of surmounting challenges. the company is fast growing and making its mark globally. with rapid expansion comes confusion. i thrive in sorting out organisational confusion.

as it ventures into new businesses, penetrates new markets, and develops new technology for the nation, it brings in opportunities to acquire new knowledge. i've learned a lot from it. and there's a lot more to be learned here.

and as for the money, we know it's never enough. but what i earn is enough to put me in the lower-tier of middle-income bracket. i live comfortably.

it's been a good 14 years, with all the ups and downs, scars and stars. i still enjoy working here. for how much longer? god willing, until the fun ends, until learning gets boring, and until money is a concern, in that order.

let's see what's the next decade of service with this company turn me into ;-)

wooo hooo

age is a number that tells how long we have lived, not how wise we are.
