Model kit is a miniature of an object which is made similar to the real one. Model kits are usually made of plastic which is easy to be modified and colored. Model kit itself divided into various types. There are plane, building, car, bike, and robot model with some companies producing them. Tamiya produces car or bike models, Kotobukiya and Academy produce plane or ship models, Bandai produces robot models. Collecting model kits is my hobby since I was still in 3rd grade of elementary school. I have completed a lot of Gundam models and a few sport car series. It is very fun to assemble and paint your models. Actually model kits are a bit expensive. I usually spend about 200000 to 500000 IDR for a model kit, including the paints and the tools. Some models are difficult to assmble, so you need to be more careful with your model. If you cut or put the parts incorrectly, the model won't be good looking, or even can be broken. After finishing a model I feel really satisfied and I am sure it happens to everyone who finishes a model kit.
Collecting model kits is really fun, although it is a bit expensive. Have you made any model kit? If not, try to do it!

Deaf But Diligent
After class last week, I was dining at de'exelso in Senayan City with my older sister. Suddenly a young man who I estimated to be in his early to mid twenties sat on the empty chair infront of us and began ruffling through his bag. My sister and I were both quite shocked and confused as to what was happening, my sister asked him a question but he didn't seem to notice. Before we could do more, the young man looked up and greeted us with a smile, we smiled back politely all the while still very confused then he handed us a laminated card. The card stated very politely that he was deaf and belonged to some sort of group whose goal was to make their own money instead of relying on others. We looked at him and saw that he had laid two very cute spider keychains made out of string/yarn infront of us, a yellow one infront of me and a pink one infront of my sister. We read the card further which said that he had made them himself and was selling them at the price of 15 thousand Rupia. The spiders were quite cool and we felt like we wanted to help so we purchased two of them. He then thanked us with a smile and nodded his head down before going to other tables to continue his mission. I thought it was a very creative way for them to make money and also to create awareness that there are many unemployed disabled people out there who are very skilled in some way yet unable to make a living.
Chocolate the Movie
Have you watch the film Chocolate??? what do you think when you heard that title? well... the title doesn't have connection to the stories at all. This film is only playing at Blitzmegaplex, not 21 cineplex. The story is about a girl, named Zen which is the daughter of a Japanese Yakuza Massashi and Zin a Thailand gangster. Massashi was sent back to Japan and leave his wife in Thailand together with her new baby, Zen. Zen is born with an autistic nature, She is compensated with agility and picks up Muay Thai through watching television programs and from observing the trainings taking place at the Muay Thai academy next door. Zen becomes an obsessive fighter who excels at catching fast-flying objects. When Zin is diagnosed with cancer, Zen has to fight her way through to collect money from her mother's debtors to raise her medical funds. She could beat all those gangsters alone without anyone helping her. But along with her ability in fighting, she also have weakness. She was afraid to hear mosquitoes moving around her and she will scream and feel afraid. In the end of the story, Zen's mother was finally killed by the Thailand gangsters, Zen's father arrives to Thailand and help Zen in defeating the gangsters. After all, I think that this is a good movie, having a good story and good moral. The title "Chocolate" is only means that Zen loves to eat Chocolates -.-"

Long Holiday, Assignments and Games..
long holiday is already coming!! Yay!! stay in home, laying down in the bed, sleeping and other lazy activities. I like holiday in this fasting month because after sahur at 3.30AM, I can go back to sleep again and I don't have to wake up early. The longest one was I slept at 4.00AM and woke up at 12.00PM hahahaha. Having a long holiday like this... it just like heaven.
BUT... heck... "HOLIDAY ASSIGNMENTS ARE WAITING". Lots of assignments like programming principles and academic english(of course^^). The hardest one is programming principles. I know some of you already finish this assignment easily but it's hard for me. Ah... I have to make a program with binary numbers and factorial. Well maybe I should finish academic english first since it's only descriptive paragraph and presentation which is due in 31st October..
Ok, but after I finish academic english, can I do the hardest one....?? I have lots of new games in my PC. My internet connection offers "free connection" at 8.00PM until 8.00AM and with that I can download lots of things including games. It's hard for me to resist that temptations.
well... I just hope I can finish it on time.... can someone help me to do the programming assignments...???

KFC
Kentucky Fried Chicken or often called KFC is one of the biggest and well known fast food restaurants in the world. The company was founded by colonel Sanders as Kentucky Fried Chicken, now they adopted the abbreviation name, KFC. They currently have more than 11,000 restaurants spread in more than 80 countries in the world. An enormous number of eight million customers per day are served by the company. In Indonesia they have more than 300 restaurants themselves. They are managed by PT FASTFOOD INDONESIA TBK as the right holder of KFC brand. It is one of the most popular fast food restaurants in Indonesia. I myself will prefer KFC than any other fast food restaurants in fried chicken field that they have the taste and the size of the chicken is much bigger than any other restaurants.
Now, have you ever wonder that in every country you visit, KFC branches there have a similar menu but different enough to differentiate from your home country. I have ever once eaten at their restaurants in Thailand, and I really regret it. Its taste is a little spicy but sour, typical Thailand’s food. It really did not taste nice to my tongue and I simply will not touch that food ever again. They are implementing what we call a marketing strategy to improve their brand in one country. KFC learn the traditions and local culture of the people where the branches are located, for example KFC Indonesia has the menu of rice and fried chicken where people from USA may confuse of, that in their home country KFC will serve you fried chicken with French fries or soup but here, They give us rice as our culture in Indonesia is to eat with rice.
KFC Indonesia also gives choices of fried chicken you want to choose, spicy or not. They learn that Indonesian’s people love spicy food and they try to combine it with their menu and they are successful now in stealing the hearts many Indonesian people for fried chicken fast food. They really do the ancient idiom of “when in Rome, do as the Roman do” and steal the heart of the local people. I personally think KFC in Indonesia is the one that suits my tongue the most than any other country. A good marketing strategy application contributed most of his success, I believe.

Scrum & Line Out
It's been a crazy week, i almost forgot to submit any new blog for this week. Because of all the quiz and the assignment. Scrum and Line Out probably are the 2 most popular position in rugby because it is unique. When you watch a rugby game and don't understand anything about it, scrum and line out probably the only thing that stuck on your mind.
A line-out is the means by which, in rugby union, the ball is put back into play after it has gone into touch. It is the equivalent of the throw in football (wikipedia). The maximum player that can be use in a line out are depends on the team throwing in the ball, the opposing team cannot have more than that number although they could opted to use less person on the line out. So the teams will form 2 straight parrarel line about 10 meters from the touch line ( a.k.a out of bound line ), each team players are about half a meter in their line of touch ( there is an imaginary line where the line outs are occur ), so there will be about 1 meter distance between the 2 teams in line out. Then, a player from the throwing team will throw the ball straight into the middle, to the gap between the 2 teams. And it has to be straight, if not, it will be retaken. In a rugby match, a line out ussually uses a lot of code to determined where is the ball gonna be thrown out to. Is it going to be high, low, Far back or to the guy in front is up to the guy who throws in the ball. Ussually in a line out, you will see people got lifted up into the air in order to catch the ball. It's one of the most unique position in rugby. So people ussually remembers line out.
Another unique position is scrum, it's probably the most popular position in rugby. People will remember this position even though they know nothing about rugby. Scrum is a means to restarting play after a minor infrigment. It involve 8 players from the forward pack binding together forming 3 rows and interlocking with the opposition team forward pack doing the same thing. Teams can be penalise if they intentionally causing the scrum to collapse. A scrum ussually awarded if a there was a forward pass or when the ball a failed to come out in ruck and maul. Scrum is a very dangerous position, i remember what my coach says to me before my first rugby tounament. He says that if the scrum are collapse, try to break your nose, if you try to avoid breaking your nose you might broke your neck. It may souds scary, but if we are already well trained than it minimize the risk of that happening significantly.
The team bind together forming 3 rows which are called front row, second row and back row. Before we move on, let me tell you an important information because on the next paragraph i will also tell you guys a bit about the positions in rugby. The position on rugby are based on the number. Number 1 & 3 are called the prop, number 2 is the hooker, number 4 & 5 are called locks, number 6 & 7 are called flanker and the number 8 is called the number 8. number 1-8 are called the forward pack, number 9-15 are called backs. I will explain about the position of backs in my future entry.
So, the first row are formed by number 1, 2 & 3. It consist of 2 prop bind together by the hooker. Ussually the props are the heaviest and biggest guy on the team, they provide a stable platform for the scrum because they are heavy. The hooker ussually shorter than the props, his job is to 'hook' the ball. So if he is shorter than the props, it easier for him to lift his feet off the ground in scrum. The second row consist of the 2 locks and the 2 flanker. Number 4 & 5 are the locks, the locks job is to 'lock' the scrum and provide the push forward, ussually the locks are the tallest guys in your team. Because they are the ones that are lifted of the ground in line out. The Flankers have less obligation to push in a scrum, it is important for flankers to be able to break from the scrum quickly and tackle the oposition backs of they win the ball. So the flanker ussually are fast yet they are still considerably heavy, they are ussually have the meanest tackle in the team. the number 8 controls the direction of the scrum, they are ussually tall, big and athletic. They also have less responsibility to push the scrum, it is also important for them to break quickly from the scrum and tackle the enemy backs if the oposition wins the ball.
I think that is all for line outs and scrum, maybe on my next entry i will talk more about the position. and thank you for reading this blog.

BLACKOUT!!! My nemesis ever...
Last Saturday, exactly September 20th, I was planning to do my homeworks and study for the quiz on Monday. At 7 PM I turned on my laptop, open the MS Word, typing 2 lines of movie summary task, and bzzzzztt.... whole of my house suddenly became dark. It's a blackout after all. The first thing that came to mind is "SH*T!! The PLN trying to disturb my work again!?". I was so pissed off, PLN promise that there won't be any blackout on fasting month, but now look at the fact... Apparently the generator were busted, so I guess I could forgive PLN this time. But the worst thing is that were lasted until the next day. I was waiting until 1 AM and there was still a blackout. I can't sleep well that day, it was so hot I can't stand it. I opened the window to make the room cooler and it really was cooler, but... a lot of mosquitoes swarm made me can't sleep. In the end, at the next day I had to go to my boarding house earlier than usual to finish my works. Hopefully, my work finished on time but alas I didn't have much time left to study for the quiz. We'll see the result after this holiday...
Actually this is not my first time having blackout at the bad time. When I was in senior high, precisely when I was having pre-UAN, there was a blackout too. That was worse, the blackout started at 7 AM until 3 AM, in other words 18 hours!? Give me a break. At that time, after I came back from school, I can't take a bath because the water runs out. Its because the water pump stopped working since there was a blackout. I can't even wash my hands... Can you imagine that? And another problem came to my mind, I had to study for pre-UAN but the emergency light could only last for 2 hours. Until 9 PM, the light still off... I had studied only a few things. I decided to give up and rest. I think that's the best way to do after all. Preserving my stamina to face the test. And I'm really confident at the test too, since it's Chemistry and English test. I'm pretty good at it actually. But even so, I'm still disappointed because I couldn't do my best at that time. Well, at least I didn't get <6 marks on the subject.
I'm just hoping that PLN won't give another trouble in the future, especially when there will be an exam going on.

First Quiz!!!! What do you think?
today.. I just have 2 quizzes. intro to IT and linear algebra. Intro to IT was my first quiz in BINUS university.... the second one is linear algebra. So, what do I think about these quizzes? I will spill it one by one....
First one, Introduction to IT... 2 chapters and 2 additional chapters (I think)... and the test was still "easy". The second one, linear algebra, 1 chapter consist of two materials - elimination and matrices. I did the matrices question very fast, but I stuck at elimination. I already did my best to do the last two numbers of elimination, but I can't make it. Time is up and I collected my paper to the lecturer. The second one was harder than the first one. Maybe because the second one was math, so I have to think harder.
I guess I have to study harder for the next linear algebra quiz...
SO, how about you guys??? can you do the quizzes??

Write codes, compile, and.......CRASH !!
This time I will tell you my experience with C++.....
Yesterday I was trying to do the programming princples' assignment at page 101 number 3.32. We have to make a program which can convert binary number into decimal number. Actually, I have made the program, and it was succeed. But I am still not satisfied because my codes are too long. I used "if statement" a lot. Steven said that you can made it with looping which should make the codes shorter than mine. Immediately I tried to remake my program with looping. You know what happen next? After I compiled it, a pop-up window appeared and it said that my program need to be closed. I think there was a mistake about my codes, so I tried again. Unfortunately it became worse than before.....After I compiled it, my computer restarted. I don't know where I do it wrong.
Writing codes is fun, but be careful not to crash your computer like I did. I think it would be better if we wait for sir Charles Lim to explain us how to use Virtual Machine.

Cosplay! do you know?
Cosplay, a short term for "costume play." is an activity where fans dress themselves and act like the characters from anime (Japanese animation), manga (Japanese comic book), fantasy and video games. many of them choose to make their own costume from a scratch while others choose to buy pre-made outfits. Typically a group activity, gatherings of cosplay enthusiasts can be seen at events such as conventions and exhibitions around the world.
Nov Takahashi was the one who invented the word "cosplay". He was so impressed by the hall and masquerade costuming there that he reported about it frequently in Japanese science fiction magazines.
In Japan, there are some places to gather with friends that has the same hobby. Beside at public events such as game show you can also find some cosplayers (cosplay participants) at cosplay parties at nighclubs or in amusement parks. It's also very common to Japanese teenagers to gather and engage cosplay in Tokyo's Harajuku district. Another famous place for cosplay is Tokyo's Akihabara district (I really want to go there!). since 1998, that place has become the "paradise" for anime freaks and cosplay freaks. In that place you can find a lot of cosplay cafes where the waitresses there dress as anime characters or "maid" costumes are particularly popular. So if you go to Japan, don't be confused that cosplay is a typical behaviour in Japan, especially in crowded places because cosplay was originated in Japan in 1978.
one of the trends in cosplay is called "crossdress" where female dress as male characters while male dress as female characters. i don't really like this kind of trend especially for male crossdress. A fat guy acted as a cute girl... wow.. he really have a lot of guts to do it and when you see the picture, it can make me sick.
Cosplay in Indonesia
Cosplay in Indonesia is still not as great as in Japan because not all the people in this country knows what a cosplay is and it is still hard to find a cosplay shop in Indonesia. Cosplayer in Indonesia usually make their own costumes or buy the materials and give it to a tailor to make it.
to know more about cosplay, just try the sources that I use:
http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/about
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay
or just google it.

The first cosplay activity started in early 2000 when Gelar Jepang Universitas Indonesia (Indonesian University Japan Culture) added cosplay as one of its main events. It started attracting attention of a few youngsters who built their own costumes and showed them at the events.
Indonesian cosplayers form groups and that make dramatic presentations using their costumes, called a cabaret. The event is normally held by a university or local magazine. Cosplay events are frequently held in Jakarta, Bandung, and Bogor.Cosplay in Indonesia is still not as great as in Japan because not all the people in this country knows what a cosplay is and it is still hard to find a cosplay shop in Indonesia. Cosplayer in Indonesia usually make their own costumes or buy the materials and give it to a tailor to make it.

Charles, Charles, and more Charles!!!
I was surfing in Google just for naught and I found something interesting. I found many "Charles" in there. So I got this idea. I will tell about some of the people named "Charles" I found. By the way, the name "Charles" originate from common Germanic term 'Churl', used to indicate free man, but not the one belonging to noble family.
Here the first, you have mention his name today in our class, Sir. The name Charles Dickens. His full name is Charles John Huffam Dickens. Acclaimed as one of history's greatest novelist. His famous works were 'Oliver Twist', A Christmas Carol', 'A Tale of Two Cities, and 'David Copperfield'. He was born on 7 Feb 1812 in Landport, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England (now the Dickens Birthplace Museum). He is the second from 8 children (the first is Frances, followed by Alfred Allen, Letitia Mary, Harriet, Frederick William, Alfred Lamert, and Augustus Newnham) of John Dickens , a clerk in the Navy Pay Office at Portsmouth, and his wife, Elizabeth nee Barrow. His father once imprison in Marshalsea Prison (for debtor only) because of a debt but released by inheritance from Charles's grandmother, Elizabeth Dickens. Because his father was in prison and all the family followed John except Charles, he had to work in a shoe factory to support the family. After his father released, he go to Wellington House Academy in North London. But his mother insist that he go on working. This made Charles's childhood live unhappy (which give him idea to make autobiographical novel, David Copperfield). He started to work in the law office of Ellis and Blackmore as an articled clerk. When he was 17, he became a court stenographer (a person who write quickly with symbols to record people's words). Met his first love, Maria Beadnell, but ended because Maria's parents sent her to school in Paris. After that he became a political journalist in Morning Chronicle. In March 1836, he make the serial of his first novel, 'The Pickwick Papers'. On 2 Apr 1836, he married Catherine Thompson Hogarth, the daughter of his friend, George Hogarth, editor of the Evening Chronicle, in St. Luke in Chelsea. Set up home in Bloomsbury and had 10 children (the first is Charles Culliford Boz, later known as Charles Dickens Jr., the author of Dicken's Dictionary of London, followed by Mary Angela, Kate Macready, Walter Landor, Francis Jeffrey, Alfred D'Orsay Tennyson, Sydney Smith Haldimand , (Sir) Henry Fielding, Dora Annie, and Edward Bulwer Lytton who became a member of New South Wales state parliament (all thier surname are Dickens)). Catherine younger sister, Mary, offer to support the household. Charles became attached to Mary, but she died in the age of 17 in Charles's arms because of illness (she become a character in many Charles's books). He died on 9 June 1890 in Gad's Hill Place, Higham, Kent, England. A place where he bought a big house to live in and also has a scene of some events from Shakespeare's Henry IV , which pleased him.
Ok, that is the first "Charles". If you have any request(s) on some "Charles", please notify me and I will try to seek them. Feel free to post other "Charles" if you want. Thank you for reading.

Jason Becker : The Unlucky Guitarist
Jason Becker is an American neo-classical metal guitarist. At 16 years old, he could play guitar very well. Jason has made classical songs more complex than other neoclassical guitarist. If you hear those songs, you will feel that Jason is the new Mozart and Bach.
Jason began to play guitar after he saw in television the death of Jimi Hendrix. After seeing those film, his desire to play guitar was burning. Soon, Jason practiced everyday until he become a great shredder. Shredder means a guitar player who play very fast and clean. At 16 years old, Jason made a guitar demo and sent it to Shrapnel Records. Mike Varney, who was the boss of Shrapnel Records, contacted Jason and introduced him to Marty Friedman. They jammed everyday until they made a band named cacophony. Cacophony has made two albums, "Speed Metal Symphony" and "Go Off!". These albums have drawn all of the shredders intention. Then Jason decided to join David Lee Roth band while Marty Friedman joined Megadeth. Since that happened, their name began popular. A lot of magazine in USA like Guitar World, Guitar Practising Musician, and Guitar Player spoke their great ability in playing guitar.
At 19 years old, Jason began to feel his body getting weak. He was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Eventhough that happened, he could finish his album with David Lee Roth, but he could not join the tour.
Soon, Jason can not move his body until now. He lost all of his ability, especially in playing guitar. All that he can do is only move his eyes. Because of that, his father use the technology of Macintosh which is designed for physical defect people. Apparently, his passion in playing music is still high. He could finished an album, called Perspective, with his computer. Jason states, "I have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It has crippled my body and speech, but not my mind."
As you can see from the story above, eventhough you have a lot of weaknesses, it does not mean that your life is over.

Album Review : "The Con"
People always talked about the records that changed their life, well I think I found my first one. The Con is the fifth studio album by Tegan and Sara, Canadian indie rock band fronted by twin sisters by the same name. This album consists of 14 tracks which are both diverse but also cohesive. I personally dislike albums where each song sounds basically the same in other words its pretty much a straight line. However when listening to The Con it feels like a wave that has ups and downs, meaning its has tracks that are upbeat, slow, in between and out right weird; something which I love about this band. Despite the diversity, the songs all fit into one theme, which is also the title of the album, The Con. In this album both girls write about the duality of love and life, for example when you first start something new with someone you try your best to only show your good side, so in other words you are conning that person to be with you, or how you behave around others maybe different to how you behave alone. This brings me to another spectacular part of the album, the lyrics. It's heartbreaking, metaphorical, honest and open to your own interpretation thus it is very relatable. "The songs on the album complement each other, play off the other's strengths, and make the record very much an entity, instead of simply a collection of tracks, setting it off as an impressive step forward in their already commendable discography." (Marisa Brown, Allmusic.com)
The songs as a whole are very catchy,weird sounding and impossible to get out of your head. The New York Times had this to say: "Somehow “The Con” is even more obsessive sounding than Tegan and Sara’s earlier work, and it’s probably even better; it could well be one of the year’s best albums. There are plenty of albums to like, but this (fittingly enough) is one to obsess over."
I definitely agree with this statement, The Con is an album that I was obsessed with and catapulted Tegan and Sara into becoming my top band. Tegan and Sara are not very well-known in the mainstream world but that doesn't mean the quality of their music is lesser. This album impacted me greatly and made me fall in love with music all over again.
The Con, despite its title, is honest music. (Under The Radar, Summer 2007, p.77)

Valkyries "The Choosers of the Slain"
Have you ever heard the name Valkyries?In most of the the game,movies,or song?Have you ever wondered what the real Valkyries are?Is it like the one we've seen in the games or movies?Different or not,let's check it now.
In the Norse Mythology,Valkyries are the sign of Choosers of the slain.It always a female and a deity.But in modern art,Valkyries are always described as beautiful young women riding a pegasus or winged horse and it also armored with helmet nad spears as their weapon, not only that,the women must be a deity as well,and they always served King Odin,their king.
What about their job?Yes they serve King Odin.They must be loyal to him,everytime,everywhere,although they know that their king is wrong.They have main reason is to determine the victors of battles and wars, and to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle,So they really must fly over the battlefield and choose the corpses,and they use their spears if they are attacked during searching for the corpses and always armored if they are being attacked.Then there is also Freija(we always hear her name called freya),mistress of the slain,who choose half of the dead heroes to become her army,the rest must go to Valhalla and wait until they become an einherjar,a warrior to fight in Odin's side in the End of the World(Ragnarok).Valkyries must also act as a servant to King Odin,they must serve King Odin although when he is eating,they must serve drink and look after the tableware and drinking vessels.
So that's a little about Valkyries,now you know that Valkyries in the real history just like the same in the game "Valkyrie Profile"(if you play it).If you wanna know more the story just play the game or do some research more about Valyries.LOL.^^v

Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
My family and I are a movie addict. Almost every Friday and Saturday, we watch movies at the Gading XXI theather. And last Saturday, I watch this movie with both of my parents. Basically this movie is a remake from the past 1999 original Bangkok Dangerous and has different actors as well. Starring the award-winning American actor as the main character, which also played as a main character in the famous movie, National Treasure, I hope that he also do the same cool actions in this new movies that are directed by the Pang Brother. Ok then I'm going to cover some of the plot in Bangkok Dangerous. Basically, the story tell us about an american hitman called Joe. One day, he is given a contract to assassinate certain people that are either bad or good. Joe only thinks of his job and duties only and will done everything to accomplish that. He is bound by a certain code that keep him remind of his job.
One, never trust another people and two, never harm any innocent that aren't involve with the job. After arriving at Bangkok, with the purpose of "holiday", he is given contract by the gangster there through a local by the name of Kong. At first sight, Joe treated Kong like an errand boy. Since Joe need a translator and someone that has local knowledge on local place at Bangkok, he hired Kong to help him in his mission there. As the story goes, Joe got injured after performing an assassination and then decided to visit the local apothecary to find a cure. There he met a local girl that works there and seems to fall in love with her. After that encounter, Joe works "double" time. This time he goes to work and also at the same time, go dating with that local girl. Unfortunately that local girl are numb and she also didn't know that joe was a murderer.
Joe has 5 target in Bangkok and he already finished 3 of the hit list. So he needs to kill 2 more target in order to succesfully completed his contract. the fourth target this time, was a criminal that are hated by many of the locals. In this mission, the location of the target are at the Bangkok river market. Joe took Kong to help him steer the boat. Unfortunately, the mission does not go so well. Things are getting messy, when the local salesman distract Joe from shooting his traget. This causes the criminal to become suspicious of Joe and aware that he is carrying a gun. Knowing that, he immediately try to escape from Joe. They both play a game of cat and dog. While Joe tries to hunt the criminal, The criminal makes a run of it.
Eventually, Joe succeed in murdering his target after a series of chasing. After that is over, Joe goes out with the local girl again but this time, it might be the last for him to ever meet her again. While He is going out with her at a park in the night, Joe was attacked by the group of gangsters thug that wanted him dead. The girl which is numb and deaf, can't hear the sound of gunfighting and brawling and so at first, she didn't shocked or surprise. Suddenly a blood splashes to her clothes and then she realize that Joe is a murderer. From that day onward she never wanted to meet with him again, eventhough he is already apologizing to her. This event causes Joe to question himself on why he kills. After that, he finally receives his final contract. He is asked to murder an important person. A person that is loved by the locals. Eventually Joe makes a decision on not killing the target and then abandon the contract deep within himself. Joe decided that he has one final things to do, To have revenge on the Gangster that offers him the contract. Joe was getting more furious when he knew that Kong, his partner and student, has been held hostage. Single handedly, he storms the mob's hideout and kill everyone that stand ini his way. He finally found where Kong is held and saves him. In the end, Joe make a pursuit on the mob leader which is trying to escape with a car. Unable to flee, Joe threatens and intend to kill him.
Unfortunately, The sound of fighting are heared by the policeman, and they regroup quickly to the location where Joe is present. Knowing that he will be arrested or even die, Joe makes one final decision. He decide to end his life together with the mob boss by pointing his gun over his head while "grabbing" the boss's head near toward his head. The police had arrived and declared Joe and boss to surrender. Without hesitation, Joe pulls the trigger of his gun and finally died with the boss together. In the last scene, we could saw Kong standing nearby a sea looking towards the sky, probably trying to remember his master deed's toward him. This ends the story plot. And now I will give my opiniion to the film. The truth is, this movie rocks. There is a lot of actions and cool fightings. But the factor that makes the movie looks rather unlogical, is it's theory of killing and also the unimportant romance.
This causes the story to become more like a drama instead of action movies. Well that is what I think in my own opinion. Maybe other people may not think the same. Maybe some will say that it's perfect. But for me, I give this movie 8 out 10.
Hellboy 2 : The Golden Army
Last Saturday I went to the 21 Cineplex to watch Hellboy 2 The Golden Army which was directed by Guillermo del Toro casted Ron Perlman as Hellboy, Selma Blair as Liz Sherman, Doug Jones as Abe Sapien, Luke Goss as Prince Nuada "Silverlance, and Anna Walton as Princess Nuala.When Hellboy was in his youth, his father, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm told him a story about the 'Golden Army' of 4900 soldiers or "70 times 70 soldiers" which was made by a mechanic for the Nuala Kingdom and it's a true story in the ancient time. Anyone who had the three pieces of the golden crown will able to control all the 4900 golden soldiers. The story begins at a leasing place where one piece of the golden crown was leased for people to buy, when suddenly Prince Nuala and his beast partner came and took that piece of golden crown. He was insisting to take revenge to the humans who had broken the agreements that had already signed in the past between humans and goblins because the humans had already broke their agreements. Prince Nuala wanted to wake the unstoppable Golden Army up to fulfill his revenge. The other two pieces of the golden crown was hold by his father King Nuala and his sister Princess Nuala, his father doesn't want to give the piece of golden crown to his son to avoid him waking up the golden soldiers which were undefeatable and very dangerous. Forcefully, Prince Nuala took the one piece of the golden crown from his father by killing him. So he now had two parts and one more part was hold by Princess Nuala who had the same idea as her father. In order to stop Prince Nuala's plan to take revenge, a secret organization from the humans which includes Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien try to avoid the revenge of Prince Nuala. They had an extraordinary power that's above human's range. With the help of the other members of the organization, Hellboy got Princess Nuala to his side and work together as a team to stop his brother. Battle happens every time when these humans and goblins met each other, after someday Prince Nuala kidnapped his sister in order to exchange for the last piece of the golden crown which is hold by the secret organization. Abe Sapien, was one of the members of the organization who fall in love with Princess Nuala. He also found the last piece of the golden crown that is hid by Princess Nuala between the books in the library. When a day came that they're going to rescue Princess Nuala, Hellboy and the other team doesn't know that his friend Abe already had the golden piece. Abe insist to exchange the golden piece for Princess Nuala ,his love, which will cause the Golden Army to rise. And that time happen when all the Golden Army was waken up by Prince Nuala. But that moment wasn't going for a long time. Hellboy challenges Prince Nuala for a duel but not to use the Golden Army. As a result, Princess Nuala stabbed herself with a knife which also killed Prince Nuala because they're twins and they're connected to each other. The plan of revenge was stopped and both Prince and Princess Nuala died. This movie was also end with a happy ending. Liz, Hellboy's girlfriend was pregnant and Hellboy will be a father ^^.

General Knowledge in Rugby
Before going in to the rules and regulation, let me share a couple of general knowledge that you absolutely need to know in order to understand rugby. For those who are seriously interested in playing rugby, it's worth to take a note. I'm gonna explain about the golden rule in offense and defense, what is a ruck and what is a maul.
Let's start of with what is the golden rule in offense and this rule is also the golden rule in rugby. The golden rule is never ever pass the ball forward. It is the golden rule of rugby it self. If you know this rule than you can watch rugby and actually enjoy it. Because i remember in the past, when i watch rugby i used to frustrated. I mean, they keep trying to pass trough the defense by running straight. Why not just try to flank the defender from the side and one of our friends tha can pass the ball forward from wherever they are, much like in American football. But it never happened. So i used to get frustrated watching rugby because i think they are all stupid, but turn out i'm the one who is stupid. Because i don't kn
ow the rules. And when i understand the this rule, i can really enjoy watching rugby.
Move on to the second one, what is the golden rule in Defense ? If you are playing rugby, than you gonna hear people screaming about this rule a lot. The golden rule in defense is stay in one f***ing line. You are not gonna break any regulation if you are not in one line, but you will make it easy for your opponent to get pass your defense. Because the gap will be very clear. Your opponent can easily side step pass your defense, and run through your gap. That is why, it is essential to stay in one line in defense. If you guys watch old war movies like Gladiator or the patriot, they are also screaming about the same stuff in war, "stay in one line !". When i am playing rugby, sometimes i feel that i was in the battlefield of war.
The next one is about Ruck and Maul. My Coach said that 75% of a rugby game are made out of Ruck and Maul. He didn't said where did he get that statistic, but if you play rugby, you will understand why my coach said that. Because, it is pretty much what we do most of the time. For Definition, Ruck is formed when the ball is on the ground and one or more players from each team are on their feet and in physical contact, closing around the ball between them(www.uidaho.edu). and Maul is formed by one or more players from each team on their feet and in physical contact closing round a player who is carrying the ball(www.uidaho.edu). So basically, when you are watching a rugby game, and see a pile of people on the ground pushing each other, it is what you call a Ruck. And when you see a lot of people, i mean more than two, pushing each other while standing up, than what you see is a maul.
I still want to explain about line out and scrum, but i think that one is gonna be on my next blog entry. So thank you for reading, and if anyone decided to play rugby, please contact me. It is really fun playing rugby, like i said, it is a constructive thing to do to channel your stress or anger. So try Rugby !
Let's start of with what is the golden rule in offense and this rule is also the golden rule in rugby. The golden rule is never ever pass the ball forward. It is the golden rule of rugby it self. If you know this rule than you can watch rugby and actually enjoy it. Because i remember in the past, when i watch rugby i used to frustrated. I mean, they keep trying to pass trough the defense by running straight. Why not just try to flank the defender from the side and one of our friends tha can pass the ball forward from wherever they are, much like in American football. But it never happened. So i used to get frustrated watching rugby because i think they are all stupid, but turn out i'm the one who is stupid. Because i don't kn

Bermuda Triangle "The Deadly Triangle" History
I don't know what to post so I think you might want to know about this.
“The region involved, a watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, measures less than a thousand miles on any one side.” . . .So George X. Sand introduced the Triangle to his readers in October 1952 in a short article for Fate magazine, entitled “Sea Mystery at our Back Door.” Sand’s article recounted the latest disappearance (the Sandra in 1950) and went on to discuss some of the other recent baffling mysteries like NC16002, Star Tiger and Star Ariel, aside from devoting most of the article to Flight 19. The Triangle remained a colloquial expression throughout the 1950s, employed by locals when another disappearance or unexplained crash happened. By the early 1960s, it had acquired the name The Deadly Triangle. In his 1962 book, Wings of Mystery, author Dale Titler also devoted pages in Chapter 14— “The Mystery of Flight 19”— to recounting the most recent incidents of disappearances and even began to ponder theories, such as electromagnetic anomalies and the ramifications of Project Magnet. His book would set the temper for Triangle discussions thereafter. (Just in April 1962 Allan W. Eckert had written a sensational piece in the American Legion Magazine on Flight 19 ((“The Mystery of the Lost Patrol”)) which introduced some of the most popular but erroneous dialogue purported coming from Flight 19, including lines like the ocean looks strange, all the compasses are going haywire, and that they could not make out any directions, “everything is strange.” This became a may pole for electromagnetic discussions). However, popularity on the subject was beginning to spread beyond the area of the Atlantic seaboard. But the moniker “Deadly Triangle” contained absolutely no geographic reference in it— in other words “Deadly Triangle” could be anywhere. Then in February 1964 Vincent Gaddis wrote an article for Argosy Magazine. The article was little different from others, though it added a few more recent cases like Marine Sulphur Queen. However, it was his title that finally clinched with the public: “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle.” Adding “Bermuda” finally materialized the location for everybody, though Gaddis clarified “in and about this area” many have disappeared. In his popular 1965 book Invisible Horizons, Gaddis devoted chapter 13 to “The Triangle of Death.” The concept of the Bermuda Triangle was spreading rapidly. Ironically, the first book published devoted to the subject was entitled Limbo of the Lost (1969) by John Spencer, in which he proposed the area had no real shape at all and elaborately tried to include the Gulf of Mexico as well as New Jersey. It sold in limited quantities, but was later reproduced in paperback in the early 1970s and did well. Dozens of magazine and newspaper articles came out in the early ‘70s, each author offering a general shape. Richard Winer proposed “The Devil’s Triangle” and extended it nearly to the Azores near Portugal. Ivan Sanderson was sure it was an oblong shape centered almost entirely north of Bermuda. But no book sold as well as Charles Berlitz’s 1974 bestseller, The Bermuda Triangle. Selling way over 5,000,000 copies in hardback, it became a phenomenon. Berlitz also cautioned about the exact shape, as had the others. But to this day Bermuda Triangle is deferred to for the same reason “Deadly Triangle” failed—there is simply no other name that calls to mind the general area as does Bermuda Triangle. But the vast popularity of the subject brought into vogue an art that is still trying to flourish today—debunking. Out of all the books that were published, only one remains in reprint today: Larry Kusche’s book The Bermuda Triangle Mystery— Solved.

Voltage-Stabilizer is Important
Today I am installing a voltage-stabilizer in my room. I connect it with all electronic devices in my room (There are TV, Computer, Modem, and a Hub). Voltage-stabilizer is an electronic device able to deliver relatively constant output voltage while input voltage and load current changes over time. Usually unstable voltage can make our electronic devices not working well, even damaged.
Example: a hard disk is working when voltage is going up or down (unstable), this may cause the hard disk reader unit (shaped like a needle pointer) movement disoriented and stratch the metal disc inside it. Of course the hard disk will be damaged. So it's necessary to use a voltage-stabilizer.
The pointer of voltmeter in my voltage-stabilizer often goes to left or right meaning that the voltage is not stable. How about the voltage in your home? If it is unstable like mine, better have a voltage-stabilizer installed.

The Rhinos Has Arrive !
Rugby is a very new and developing sports in Indonesia. Some people even don't know what rugby is ! And most of people do not know about this, but Indonesia do have a National Rugby Team. It is call the Indonesian Rhinos. The Rhinos was first formed in 2006, they played in the Asian regional division six tournament held in pnom penh, Cambodia. They were beaten by Cambodia 30-7. It is not as horrible as it looks, in rugby you will get 5 points for each try, try is what we call for scoring goals, and you will get an extra 2 points for the convertion kick. So basiclly indonesia was beaten 6-1. still pretty horrible, but it was the first time ever the indonesian team play together in an official game. Most of the player at the time was expat from Australia or England. So it was not a real indonesian team to begin with. But, in the end, Indonesia was second in that tournament, after they beat both Laos and Brunei. Indonesia Won 34-12 against Laos and 32-20 against Brunei. It was a good start for Indonesia.
In 2007, the Rhinos did a lot better than they did the year before. They Won the Asian Regional Six Tournament in Brunei. After winnig all their matches against Laos 17-3, Cambodia 11-10, and Brunei 28-15. It was their first trophy. Even more recently, Indonesia hosted the tournament in 2008. The Tournament were held in Universitas Pelita Harapan. Indonesia Were Increadible in this tournament, they demolish Cambodia 55-3, and defeated Laos 23-11. In this year, most of the player are Indonesian. Most of them are my friends from Jakarta Banteng, it's the club that i play rugby with, like Yudha "the Man Mountain" Ramon, Boby Orlando, Fikri Al-Azhar. The top scorer for the Indonesian team was Kirk Aditya Arundale with 33 point in total.
If we look back to 2 years ago, Indonesia was defeated by Cambodia 30-7, yet today, they completely destroy Cambodia 55-3. That is what i like to call dramatic improvement. Other than the national teams, Indonesia also got a lot of clubs. There are about 3 clubs in Jakarta, those clubs are ISCI Komodo, ISCI Samurai and Jakarta Banteng. And there are also a club in Gosowong, Maluku and another in Sengata, Kalimantan. And we also have lots of Tournament. The most recent Tournament was the Bali Rugby Festival in 9-10 augustus. I was in that tournament, although my team lost pretty badly but it was a blast. I ended up cannot turn my head in any direction, my neck was really stiff. The next tournament is the Bali 10's International. It's in October. Hopefully, if i am fit and got picked, i could take a part in that tournament. But the competition for a place in the team are gonna be really hard. And also there are other tournament, like the Jakarta Series, ISCI 7's tournament and many others.
Well, i think i need to post another blog about the rules and regulation of rugby so i could tell you guys more about rugby. But if anyone read this blog, you are welcome to come practice with us at Senayan, Lapangan ABC every wednesday from 6.30-8.00 pm. It's free. So i would like you guys to come, and try out rugby for once. It is really fun, you get to hit other people for fun ! If you are in a fight with your friend or in any kind of stress, rugby is a constructive way to channel your anger. Bottom line is Rugby is fun ! So try it !

Food Journal : Pepper Lunch
Well after a long class today, I have nothing to do. So I think I should check some book at kinokuniya, Plaza senayan. When I arrived I got a change of plans, my stomach is asking for a refill [the book can wait but my stomach can]. I’m thinking to try this place called Pepper Lunch. The place is cozy and it smells great [I don’t know if this is me hungry or it’s really great]. The service is nice they give you an early reservation when you come in [I got table no. 6]. Well I’m a hungry man with a budget, so upon seeing the menu I ordered the Cut Steak with egg [a steak but not too expensive]. After the order I went to my table. Upon waiting 10- 20 minutes the steak arrived at my table. This is when the fun begins. The food that arrived at the table is pretty much raw, so you cook your own food at the table [If you don’t know how to cook they show you the way but for me, I do it my own way]. You can pick a lot of sauce from sweet honey to teriyaki sauce. For me I pick the honey sauce and the garlic sauce [it’s a unique mix of sauce]. After a little mixing, frying and flipping my lunch is done. The smell is just plain great, the taste is nice, and the texture just right. But if you mix your food wrong well you know it could get a little ugly. Nevertheless the idea is original. You can cook your food according to your liking and mood. So the taste of the food is personal. As a young amateur cook I like the place, pretty creative. Oh yeah the most important thing of all, the price range. For me the price range is nice for this kind of food. The range is around 28k to 90k. My steak is around 60k, not too expensive for a steak like that.
Ps: I don’t find any interesting book on kino today so my reading must wait [don’t worry sir I have a lot of book that I haven’t finished yet].

Low Quality Products
Last month, I went to ITC Mangga Dua to repair my Playstation2 (PS2) because it can't work well.
I am sure that the problem is the optic has become weak and worn off. So I told the vendor to change the optic. But then he said that my PS2 is an old type, so it can't play a lot of games. He offered to trade in my PS2 plus 800.000 IDR with the new PS2 slim. I thought that the new PS2 could play all the game titles, so I agreed to do the trade in.
When I arrived at home with excitement, I tried to play my favourite game, Gundam. I was really shocked that the machine couldn't play it. Then I tried another game, Namco X Capcom. The same thing happened.
The next day I went back to Mangga Dua to tell the problem occured. The vendor agreed that the PS2 is broken and then he gave me the new one. I thought this would solve the problem.
That night something terrible happened, the new PS2 was broken. It couldn't be turned on. When That happened, I was getting frustated and confused...Is this because the new product's quality is low or did the vendor give me the broken PS2 intentionally?
