new years, new office

Alhamdulillah.....
This last two weeks i've been interviewed by some company, and most of them're IT Company from the national with a new started business till the multinational with many experiences. For the shake of the rest there're two company that make me curious.
The first is the new started it business. In which that there're all young and energethic people including their CTO and CIO. Up untill four time that i've been processed with this, and finaly, with all my respect, they can't afford all my request. You know, as an employee we're looking for a GOOD PAID and a WELL SITUATIONS job. Yes, they couldn't give me what i'm asking for. At that time, there were something shattered on my mind that they should know that i like their company, and their business model ofcourse, very much. Hoping that they stil wanna hire me so that i could help their business grow smoothly.
The second one is the new comer in telco industry in indonesia. they're big in their country, but still has to grow in indonesia. Their CEO called me this eve, while i'm prepared my self to go to Musholla for Maghrib praying. As i remember, He promiss to me that He wanna call me on wednesday, so that i posted "melewati matahari esok" in id-gmail, bungamatahari, and blogs.mit.edu/azil/.
The crazy things're when i was asking him about my competency. Either my hard competency or my soft competency.
./me: Sir, does my cv match your needs?
ceo: Well, frankly NOT

Gosh... Astaghfirullah.. at those time i became very nervous and hard to breath. coz, why do they call me? dunno what, donno why, it still mysterious for me.
Simple thought, i doesn't want to know what and why they hire my while my cv doesn't match with their needs :p what i've to do is just do my best and show to this industry that i could make a hit.
Ought, btw, this kinda new industry for me. in my previous, i was doing some presales besides giving some technical solutions to my client. while next, all i have to do just to make their business process run well.

Astaghfirullah.... Ya Allah, if this is best for me, best for all, please help me....

melewati matahari esok

detik baru saja melewatinya
pertanda usai sudah penantian
sirna harapan,pupus angan

lalu mengapa harus mengejar matahari esok?
dan mengapa harus pantang bersedih?

mungkin mereka lupa menelpon hari ini
atau mungkin mereka menghadapi masalah genting

tiba - tiba si pemsimis mengatakan
sudahlah jika memang bukan jodoh
dan si optimis membisikan
besok matahari masih bersinar cerah

aku cinta dan sumpah abaikan luka dari cinta dan rindu

aku, cinta dan sumpah
sehidup semati dalam bahagia dan derita
raut hanya berpaut dalam sekelumit ombang ambing ombak kehidupan
getar maju menggentarkan tekad dan cita

janji dari seorang pria terhadap wanita
bersimbah air mata dalam haru nan syahdu
untuk menggenapkan cipta rasa hati
bukan sekedar membunuh rindu yang luka

datanglah keheningan dalam batin
seketika menyiksa lamunan untuk membenci
tulus ada dan tiada cinta memang tak mengapa
yang pasti ada separuh yang hilang dariku

nafasku adalah nafasmu yang bahagia
dari persimbahan sebagai wujud satu
menyatu laksana batu terbaring hempas
abaikan luka dari cinta dan rindu

sayang apakah mengapa diriku semakin sayang?

sayang apakah disana engkau merasakan yang sama
seperti diriku yang sedang belajar membencimu

sayang apakah disana engkau menginginkan yang sama
seperti diriku yang sedang belajar melupakanmu

sayang dimanakah dirimu ketika ku ingin mengatakan benci

sayang mengapa kamu hadir dalam lamunan rinduku
sayang seolah percuma ku belajar membenci dan melupakanmu

sayang semakin ku benci semakin ku sayang
sayang semakin ku lupa semakin ku rindu

mengerti dalam sedikit mabuk

dalam sedikit mabuk keberadaan rasa singgah
bila terjadi perang emosi antara aku dan dirimu


katakan cinta jika bisa mengerti apa artinya cinta

AQUARIUS IN A NUTSHELL

Few days a go Golda posted an AstroSign software in id-gmail *search don't sort*. altough i don't believe 68% in an astrology, belows're some thing about me based on that astrology software (AstroSign).
Please read it carefully and clearly :p

ZODIAC SIGN DETAILS
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

You have lived 8,719 days!
(Warning: Your system date must be set to the current date)

AQUARIUS IN A NUTSHELL
The sign of the Inventor, the Seeker of the Truth

Personality: Honest, popular, amiable, truth-seeking, hesitant, inefficient, humane yet suspicious, rebellious, intuitive, broad-minded and unbiased.

Positive Qualities: Honest and truth seeking, humane and caring, creative and intuitive, broad-minded, popular and amiable.
Negative Qualities: Erratic and whimsical, inefficient, eccentric, changing, unconventional and rebellious, hesitant.


PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER
Compassionate in nature - can be generous to a fault. Fixed ideas and aims. Needs plenty of space and freedom. Impersonal, has trouble with intimacy. The sign of brotherhood. Independent, realistic, practical about home. Originality, intuitiveness. Daring mentality. An idea 'pioneer' - perhaps faddist. Invention, aviation, computers, automobiles, astrology, New Age - anything new, old or different appeals to them. Humanitarian. Altruistic - but sometimes deeply self-centered. The club-joiner.


KARMIC MISSION
To organize - in a mental, aggressive, dynamic and idealistic manner.


ENERGY PATTERN
Each of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac represents specific energy patterns, or modes of expression. They act as modifiers of the elements with which they are associated, be it a Planet or a House. Aquarius is eccentricity and radical individuality seeking freedom of the soul and communication with the group mind.


INFLUENCE OF THE PLANET
Those born under Capricorn and Aquarius are the Saturn type. You have a small head, beady and deep-set eyes, with prominent ears and nose. You have a weak set of teeth, and thin and lifeless hair. Slow in movement, you are conservative and methodical with serious outlook. Deeply faithful, you also have a sense of duty. However, you are not sociable and prefer solitude
.

DECAN INSIGHT
Each zodiac sign extends across 30 degree of the Zodiac. These can be further subdivided into three decans of 10 degree each. Therefore, though all those born under a particular sign are classified under the same sign, the decans yield further insight into your total personality.

You belong to the First Decan of Aquarius (January 21 - January 30).
You are ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. These endow you with the persistence to overcome all obstacles, and also with originality and creativity respectively. You will naturally do very well in the world with this practically unbeatable combination.


AQUARIUS LOVE MYSTERY
Your detachment and tendency to probe and examine too deeply stands in the way of your forming lasting attachments. Your emotions are actually sensual rather than sexual. You also have a love for the strange and bizarre which can prevent you from giving happiness to your mate. It is not that you cannot love deeply and sincerely - it is your need for change that may cause trouble. For this reason, marriage is not really your strong point, as a tie or bonding is not meant for you. You may outgrow a marriage, causing much heartbreak in the process. You want the freedom to go your own way, do what you want, and will resent possessiveness and interference, rebelling at the ties. However, you enjoy the interplay and counterpoise of thoughts and ideas and will welcome a flexible union with complete freedom and understanding. A tall order, but you may be lucky!


SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS
Sex plays an important role in the life of every man and woman. It lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to revere life until we know how to understand sex. Indian astrological science attributes certain sexual characteristics to persons according to the sign under which they have been born.

You are a healthy-minded person, average, and well balanced in your sex life, never making exorbitant demands.


AS A FRIEND
You will always give both guidance and warmth. Basically you are a better counselor than friend with your objectivity and detachment. Yours is the sign of friendship, so even though emotionally involved you can visualize problems clearly.


COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SIGNS
The following section tells you about your compatibility with other zodiac signs in friendship, business, family or love relationships. The basic foundation will remain unchanged, though mutual aspects between planets will modify the relationship to a certain extent in a positive or a negative way.

Ideal Association (5-9 Sun Sign Pattern): Gemini and Libra
Not always, but surprisingly often, the extraordinary magnetism of 5-9 Sun sign attraction leads to easy sympathy, mental stimulation, emotional affinity, romantic fulfillment. There will be a strong sympathy between you and misunderstandings will not be severe or lasting. The chances for harmony are excellent, and a happy relationship on a permanent basis is more effortlessly achieved than with any other sign - be it friendship, business, family or love relationships. Hostile placement of planets between the two horoscopes will cause some personality clashes and tensions - causing the compatibility to rock from time to time - although the basic empathy and understanding will always remain. If the planets are in harmonious aspect, your relationships with these people will be most extraordinarily happy, smooth and sympathetic.

Ideal Association with some Problems (7-7 Sun Sign Pattern): Leo
Not always, but frequently, you either get physically attracted to or secretly admire and respect each other - in case of opposite sex. The individual possesses the qualities of character and personality traits you yourself lack. The urge to imitate will be strong. However, in case of same sex, you may become strongly competitive and feel uneasy or envious. Mutual aspects between other planets somewhat modify the relationship positively or negatively.

Compassionate Association (2-12 Sun Sign Pattern): Pisces
In your association with this individual, one of you will feel that he or she has many lessons to learn from the other. The one who has lessons to teach will feel an inexplicable compassion for the weaknesses and mistakes of the other person, strangely understanding the other's markedly different motives and behavior.

Favorable Association (3-11 Sun Sign Pattern): Aries and Sagittarius
You will feel a strong tie of friendship, whatever the association you share with these individuals. Mutual trust and ease of communication mark the relationship. In spite of strong differences, you connect closely with each other. A sense of responsibility and some sort of inescapable duty will bring you together. You will constantly stimulate each other into changing habits and existing situations. Any quarrels will usually be quickly resolved, forgiven and forgotten. Even when the association seems to be a closed chapter, it reappears months or years later, to be resumed once more.

Beneficial Association (6-8 Sun Sign Pattern): Cancer and Virgo
There will be some problem in communication. Yet you will be powerfully drawn into each other. Irresistible sexual attraction in case of a love relationship. In case of friendship, business or family ties, attraction through some shared interest. Urge for mutual help. Service given will always be repaid. In some way, a great benefit will come from one to the other through the relationship, and the one who serves will usually remain loyal.

Reflective Association (1-1 Sun Sign Pattern): Aquarius
You will each be tempted to magnify your own virtues and failings. All the positive character traits will be intensified - as will the negative traits. A constant effort should be made to encourage in one another the positive qualities of the zodiac sign you both share and to discourage the negative ones.

Unfavorable Association (4-10 Sun Sign Pattern): Taurus and Scorpio
Not always, but surprisingly often, you will feel a noticeable tension or conflict of personality in the presence of these individuals. One of you may grow restless because of the strict disciplinary attempts of the other. For various reasons, there will always be some mental and emotional restriction.

just like heaven

last night we (./me and mine) watched Just Like Heaven. this movie's title're taken from one of the cure songs. And this sounding me when i was the most famous highschool artist (at least for jakarta & bekasi), which was my band're focus on playing the cure's songs. and this is my first song that i played on the stage. hey, i was a drummer not a singer :D
the movie story it self're great, even though i saw some thing that unreasonable. no, i don't wanna tell about the movie, and i wont. you know what? i wanna sing :p so listen it up!!!!!


"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
btw, i feel JUST LIKE HEAVEN since the first time i met mine.

ROTI BAKAR EDI BLOK M, how they maintain their brand?

Last thursday, i break my thursday's fasting in Al Azhar Kebayoran with MINE. Then after having GULE DAGING, which was served near Mosque, i ask MINE to accompanying me for trying "ROTI BAKAR EDI BLOK M". It just because i still have a 'free space' in my stomach, gosh.... those "GULE DAGING" didn't kick my stomach :p. And also we still have some minutes to spend. Moreover, i have a big curriousity for ROTI BAKAR EDI.
i know this brand "ROTI BAKAR EDI BLOK M" since Irvan Ihsan (Irvan), and Arlingga Pandega (Angga)'re still PramborsFM DJ's. *This means that i were in Junior High School :p* They told us [read: me] that some times they prefer went (read: hang out) to ROTI BAKAR EDI after they show.
This brand has become a "LEGEND" i think, just because they could maintain they outlet (and also the brand it self) sustainable.
Having a deal with MINE, we went to its location which're only ten to twelve metres from Al Azhar Kebayoran.
And hey.... there're nothing special with it. The people, the menu, the way they service us, they're all same and standard, except the place it self which're near from Al Azhar Kebayoran. i order "Roti Bakar TaBUR KeJU, AKA BURJU", while MINE order "Roti Bakar Coklat+Keju".
Just like what i say, there's nothing special with the food it self. And honestly i could made with the same, and even with a good one :p

Questions, how come they could maintain their (returned/loyal)customer? how do they attract new customer (like me)? how do they keep their business sustain? while they have a very standard in people, price, promotions, product, and place.
