Cutting the Edge

Do you know that life will be much simpler if we become ignorant? Yes. Ignore all the problems around you, or you can even ignore those problems that you face yourself. But that is definitely not the correct way of living our live (at least in my opinion). You need to be aware of what is happening around you and what you are doing.

I don't know, I am just tired.

This is not the most galau post that I can make anyway, but it is pretty much galau indeed. And yes, sometimes running away works. And I hope this is pretty much the correct time. So non-mainstream isn't it? No.

Silver Spoon

During Victorian era, there were no passport nor driving license. Quite a "you don't say" statement isn't it? Okay, too much 9gag but story shall go on. So you must be wondering what kind of identity do they have? In fact social status and identity was very important back then, and you can definitely see those aristocrats in their expensive coat while the slaves wore their worn out clothes. So does look represent one's status? Pretty much, but what about middle income craftsmen whose hands looks more like a hand of slave and they do not have those expensive clothes either? They bring a silver spoon. In the spoon the family emblem is engraved, unlike slaves who does not have family emblem.

So what is moral of the story? Nothing. I just recommend you guys to read a manga called silver spoon. It is very good indeed.

By the way, looking at my old post and then..

Things are Gonna Get Messy

As mentioned in the title bar, a lot of things are gonna get messy. Firstly, I am currently taking a module named "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos". By looking at the title, you know what is going to be messy right? My grade -__- , well still hasn't sure about that but if I do not put an extra care to it it will be indeed very messy. Another  thing is my room. Speechless, I just find my comfort place in such place. As long as I know where are the things that I need, no problem then.

Okay, I wrote just for the sake of writing. It feels more like a personal blog now isn't it?

It's Not the Time Matters

Ever since walking on this earth, (most likely) human being has been exposed with rain. I expected that Adam and Eve was sent to any arbitrary place on earth, not a rainless deserts like Sahara or Gobi. And with rain, they need some mechanism of shelter. They stay on a cave, then build a roof, then used something to cover their top when walking outside home, and finally they invented a brilliant thing called umbrella. As time goes by, the umbrella that was made of wood and leaf changes into metal and plastic. Look at the two picture below,

.

The top picture shows the evolution of the lower picture. Courtesy of random googled pictures by the way :p The technology is about 1000 or more years difference, yet they still look pretty much the same with the same imperfection - still not be able to protect you from the rain perfectly. Compare to communication device nowadays, it was invented less than 200 years ago. And it looks totally different right now, with much more extended function.

We may need the communication systems to evolve and we might not need the umbrella to evolve, because we are simply satisfied with umbrella. Enough whit this chit-chat, I want to tell you that sometimes things don't change. It might not be precise as we found that umbrella actually changes in shape, but not function. Interesting isn't it? Thanks to some friends who accompanied me to eat some pancake some years ago. It was nice, with some awkward flavor. While no one thinking how to make umbrella be more interesting currently, there must be someone who is thinking to make innovation for cellular phone systems right now in this earth. While some things don't change significantly, there are things that changes rapidly that you don't even realize that it has changed.

Medium Rain

Oke, saya tidak akan bilang bahwa ini adalah quick update. Terlalu sering saya melewatkan kesempatan mengepos sesuatu yang lebih memiliki "konten", bisa-bisa dibunuh oleh penggemar blog ini. Berhubung penggemar blog ini bukan bonek, atau hooligan, atau penggemar cricket di Asia Selatan yang hardcore, tentunya saya masih hidup di sini dan mencoba menuliskan hal-hal yang lebih menarik.

Pertama-tama, apa sajakah yang telah terjadi di kala selang waktu saya tidak menulis blog ini? Banyak, mungkin kalau kata orang Jawa Timur jadi buanyak. Terakhir saya menulis kalau tidak salah 17 November, satu hari sebelum ujian semester 3 saya dimulai. Hasilnya? Jangan ditanya. Karena akan saya beritahu tanpa ditanya. Bisa dibilang buruk, dibandingkan performa saya semester-semester sebelumnya maupun dibandingkan teman-teman saya (jangan ditiru ya). Hobi tidur saya benar-benar membludak semester ini, mungkin se membludak beberapa teman-teman SMA saya. Semester depan harus lebih baik? Tentu saja, kalau tambah buruk nanti buruknya tidak ketulungan (bahasa macam apa ini -___-).

Okay, enough with grades. People are not interested with a failure stories (that's why they always publish some success stories of someone), nor they care with good grades (it is just a grades, not a success stories). Terus liburan ini ini melakukan apa saja? Insya Allah ini jadi liburan yang paling tidak produktif yang akan saya lakukan. Nilai plus liburan ini saya rasa adalah silaturahmi. Mencoba mengkontak teman-teman yang dulu cukup dekat, via facebook saja sih tapi mungkin lebih baik daripada tidak. Atau simply menghabiskan waktu di rumah dengan keluarga, since they are one of the most thing we take for granted in life (indeed). Good things happened to us, so did bad things. I think that is how Allah teach us about life.

As my personal development, I have got a lot of things to comment. Firstly, about my attitude to my gmail account. My gmail account is used for non-academic email by the way. Rasanya sangat berat untuk membuka sepatah surat di akun tersebut. Lain halnya dengan email untuk hal-hal yang berurusan dengan kegiatan akademik, saya sangat eager untuk membukanya. I feel like running away from my problems. We shouldn't do it anyway. Now or later, all the tasks need to be done. Dan akhir-akhir ini rasanya ingin menjadi manusia yang lebih positif. Cara pertamanya dengan tersenyum, harapannya bisa mengeluarkan muka a la di komik-komik dengan mata seperti dua garis lengkung dan mulut garis lengkung dengan arah lengkungan yang berlawanan. Namun karena sifat dasar saya yang seperti ini, expectation vs reality bisa dilihat sendiri. Hasilnya senyumnya terasa lebih mirip dengan :

Super antagonis. Sulit diapa-apakan sih, yang penting niatnya.

Cukup panjang tampaknya karena kalap sudah lama tidak mengepost. Pada akhirnya saya tidak takut gagal. Tidak juga takut menjadi pecundang. I am just afraid of mediocrity on myself. Terimakasih banyak kepada Allah SWT yang telah memberikan kesempatan menulis panjang akhir tahun, Rasulullah SAW yang rasanya butuh usaha jauh lebih banyak bagi saya untuk lebih bersyukur atas peranan beliau secara langsung, keluarga yang selalu ikhlas akan kedatangan dan kepergian saya, teman-teman yang "lucu" dan selalu memberikan hiburan dalam bentuk drama kehidupan.  Ini cheesy banget sih, tapi saya harap bisa memberikan beberapa insight dan manfaat bagi pembacanya. Semoga tahun depan kita semua jadi makhluk yang lebih baik lagi, wassalam.

Update Singkat Sebelum Isya

Besok sudah masuk final exam pertama di semester ini. Kalau dipikir-pikir banyak yang sudah terjadi, dari exam period yang dulu sampai exam period yang sekarang. Dan sekarang, saya sudah memilih untuk menjadi geek sempurna. Karena satu dan lain hal. Mungkin akan mencoba mengexplore hal-hal baru semacam perjalanan mencari jati diri yang ada di komik-komik. Semoga saja tidak salah jalan.

Rain of Negativity

Yep, that should be my new header for this blog but I am just too lazy to change the header. Anyway, exam is coming really soon and this semester was superb. Why superb? Too many thing I want to express actually.

Just pray the best for my exam, I don't ask for A's. But I hope the best for me will be A+'es (YOU WISH). Have not really study that well due to several reason. Will be having a vacation to Japan this coming December, and going back home after that.

I miss my home seriously. Simply because it is 'home', and not a mere 'house'.
