Quotes from Hitchiker to Galaxy: The Movie

I like the books, and I enjoyed the movie. They are simply entertaining...

"Arthur Dent" (when the mice want to take his head):

"Fine. Fine, take it. Because my head is filled with questions and I can assure you no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I've ever wanted an answer to - is she the one? The answer bloody well isn't forty-two, it's yes. Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashadly yes. And for one week, one week in my sad little blip of an existence, it made me happy."

"The Book" (when it tried to explain about love):

"The Encyclopedia Galactica, in its chapter on Love states that it is far too complicated to define. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of love: Avoid, if at all possible. Unfortunately, Arthur Dent has never read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

"The Book" (about the Point of View Gun: the most dangerous weapon in the galaxy):

The Point of View gun conveniently does precisely what its name suggests. That is if you point it at someone and pull the trigger, they instantly see things from your point of view. It was designed by Deep Thought, but commissioned by a consortium of intergalactic angry housewives, who after countless arguments with their husbands were sick to the teeth of ending those arguments with the phrase "You just don't get it, do you?"

"Countdown to Anniversary"

The Nearness of You: Singapore

Jalan-jalan summer tahun lalu. Hmmm tepatnya istri kerja, terus gue jalan2, yang ada males ngapa2in nunggu istri di hotel tanpa ......
Selalu senang pergi ke Singapur, nggak butuh visa, tapi fiskal tetep, terus sante2 ajah, karena orang Indonesia juga banyak, makanan yang enak dan lain sebagainya. Apalagi ada Arya dan keluarga (si kembar pasti udah gede banget yah sekarang). Karena istri kerja pasti nginep pertama di MHotel di Tanjong Pagar, hotel buat bisnis, jauh dari tempat turis, tapi relatif tenang, dan dekat dengan tempat makan. Selain itu tempat tidurnya enak bener deh, konsep minimalis, cuman suka penuh ajah, jadi susah diperpanjang, hehehehhe. Pokoknya saik deh...

Tapi gue keilangan kamera disini, ng...., ah nggak boleh ngumpat terlalu banyak kata istri, hehhehhehe. Ini dua foto yang gue temukan, yang lain ilang bersama kamera, sial emang Marche. Tapi yang penting sempet jalan2 bareng, makan ataupun belanja ataupun pergi tanpa tujuan.


*Ini di MHotel, biar keliatan hotel bisnis dikasih Bulls satu, jadi nggak usah jauh2 ke NY atau Chicago, kalo mau foto bareng banteng, huehhehe...



*Leyeh-leyeh di tempat Arya, pokoknya males2an, nggak ngapa2in yang penting bareng...

Countdown to Anniversary

In a Sentimental Mood: B B'day

Sekitar sebulan lalu istri merayakan ulang tahunnya, dan gue nggak mau ngitung ini kali kebarapa gue nggak bisa merayakan bersamanya. Pada hari tersebut gue merayakan sendiri, karena temen2 pada sibuk, Boston dan sakit. Sehingga gue merayakannya 4 hari kemudian, seperti yang sudah tertulis di blog sebelumnya.

Istri gue merayakan ultahnya di kantor dengan bekerja seperti biasany, untung ada temen2 kantornya yang baik dan membelikan kue untuk merayakan ulang tahun istri gue. Guys and Gals at the B's office, I owe all of you one.

This is the pictures, although it's hard for me everytime I see them (I wish I was there).


*B dan temen2 kantornya yang kebanyakan cewek


*I hope you wish for you and for me


*Kue sederhana yang berarti buat gue

Thanks

On The Sunny Side of the Street: Lintang/'Tang

Adek cewek gue yang paling cantik (gue cuman punya dua adek, satu cewek dan satu cowok sih, hehehhehe) baru ajah menjalani ujian thesisnya, dan lulus dengan perbaikan kecil (nggak penting deh, heheheh).

SELAMAT ATAS TELAH LEWATNYA UJIAN AKHIR
UNTUK GELAR MASTERNYA

Sampe ketemu lagi di Indonesia...

*Wawancara ketika Lintang baru memulai studi masternya.

Student profile: Lintang
Course: Master of Engineering Science (Engineering Management)

Country: Indonesia

Previous school/university: Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, Queensland University of Technology

Why did you choose to study Engineering Management at the University of Melbourne?

After finishing my undergraduate degree I worked in the plastics industry for 2.5 years. I was initially employed in the maintenance department and then moved to product development. I realised very soon that management skills in this industry (and I'm sure in all industries) are essential in achieving outcomes. Engineering Management is a course which I know will help develop these skills and lead to good career outcomes.

What is the best thing about your course?

What I really enjoy is becoming aware of the research that is currently being done in the Engineering Management field. When you are working full time you are very much absorbed in your immediate day-to-day work issues. When you study you gain knowledge about a much broader range of issues through reading journal papers and hearing about the experiences of other engineers who are working as managers.

I have really enjoyed the guest lectures which have mainly been given by people from industry. They give you real life examples of management problems and issues. It is also very interesting learning about areas which I am not as familiar with such as sustainability, marketing and consulting.

How will your course help your future study plans or career?

In large organisations you deal with many people, both internally and externally - having management skills will greatly improve my ability to do this. I know I will also feel more confident in a managerial position having the theoretical knowledge to back my decisions

What do you enjoy most about your Australian life?

I love living in Melbourne - especially being able to walk around in a safe and clean city. I've also enjoyed meeting new friends in Melbourne. Really, it makes my life here in Melbourne great for both studying and fun.

What activities/clubs have you participated in since your arrival?

I have participated in 'Group Fitness' classes at the Sports Centre. These are classes such as Body Pump, Thai Box and Body Balance. Body Balance is my favourite as it is a mixture of Thi Chi, Pilates and Yoga which really helps you relax.

I have also recently been elected to the University of Melbourne Postgraduate Association (UMPA). This groups reviews the University's policies on postgraduate students. At the moment it has just been meetings but I hope that it will give me an opportunity to contribute.

What advice do you have for other students from your country coming to study in Australia?

Study hard, work hard and play hard!


*Adek cowok yang paling ganteng dan adek cewek yang paling cantik

*Heh, adek cowok gue satu2nya, gimana ceritanya nih... Hehehhehe

Lirik Lagu Lucu

Waktu lagi liat multiplynya temen adek, Rosa Bate, dia punya playlist, hanya tiga lagu, nah salah satunya Crash in to Me-nya Dave Matthews, langsung dengerin. Ternyata lagu terakhirnya, if you are not the one OST-nya Maid in Manhattan, okeh juga buat gombal2an, apalagi saat gue sangat rindu dan berdebar2 menghitung hari untuk pulang dan ketemu istri. Ini buat kamu istriku, heheheheh.

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wannna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
