Guess we should be more careful about writing our own opinions or even jokes from now on.

Just notice that the layout of this website is really really wrong with IE 5+ for Windows browser. Oh well, I guess I missed a couple of so-called IE-hacks to make this website looks all right like with other modern browser like IE6, Netscape 6/7, Mozilla 1, Firebird 0.6 and Opera 7. If you are using IE 5+ for Windows and wondering why this website is look so strange, sorry for that. Will work on the issue soon. / Read more …

From yesterday, I was (supposed) to work at the office strictly on the official working hours which is 8.30 to 17.30. Yikes! Well, honestly, I am not used to. I used to wake up around 7 or 8, eat bread or instant noodle, drink coffee with milk, sit in front of my home computer and working at home until around lunch time (about 11.00). Then I eat lunch and after that go to the office. Working until 19.00 or 20.00 and go home. That's my usual routine. But yesterday, I woke up (still) around 7. still eat bread and drink / Read more …

A cup of Tea Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!" "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?" Taken from and read more on thesegoto11 - 101 Zen Stories. / Read more …

I am taking TOEFL today. Yeah, I know my English sucks but I just want to know how sucky I am by taking that test... =) Started the day with panic mode because my cab was late to pick me up at 7.30. Man, how come the cab company as good as Blue Bird can be so annoying. This kind of thing already happened before and this morning it happened again! Luckily my mother was about to go out so I went to the test place with my mom's car and I arrived just about 10 minutes before the test / Read more …

It was mostly my fault. It was me who made the whole situation became too absurd. It was me who drive on the wrong lane. I don't know. Just want to forget it all and start it all over. Out Of My Head (Fastball) Sometimes I feel. Like I am drunk behind the wheel. The wheel of possibility. However it may roll. Give it a spin. See if you can somehow factor in. You know there's always more than one way. To say exactly what you mean to say. Was I out of my head? Was I out of my / Read more …

Mozilla Firebird 0.6 (Glendale) was released 2 days ago. Shame on me for not knowing this earlier. If you want a light but powerful browser and of course, supporting standard use Firebird (previously known as Phoenix). It's Mozilla-based, what more could you ask? And this website is looking great with that browser! / Read more …

Just watched X2 or populary known as X-Men 2. A good movie... well, it's not any award material but still a good one. It is a fun movie, full of action and great special fx (well, I am a sucker for any good special fx movie)! nightcrawler's teleportation power is exactly the way I imagined will look on the movie (minus the "BAMPF!!!" sound effect, of course). And to add more fun I watched it with the one I love, thanks Ayu! As an X-Men fan I am not dissapointed with this movie. Watch it if you want an enjoyable / Read more …

Sometimes it's very hard to understand people, especially the one that close to me. The hardest part is to understand why they can't understand me. / Read more …

Second phase of more to come updates. Added Themes section, now you can select which layout and colors that suit your taste. Well... They are only three choices right now but I am still doing more layout, hope they will be finished very soon. The 'Blue' theme is very buggy right now.
