Foo: Why you use watch?
Bar: To know the time at anytime for sure.
Foo: Any other reason?
Bar: To control my body weight.

Yups, I want to share one of reasons why I use (wrist) watch. –> continue reading…

Which one do you prefer when you put your toothpaste tube in cup, with cap facing upward or downward? Like in picture below.

First question: Who care?
First answer: I care.

I care because many times my toothpaste tube collapse, with the cup, if I put toothpaste tube with cap facing upward. So I don’t want this occur again and again, and I found that by putting toothpaste tube with cap facing downward, it’s become more stable.
Let’s see…

If you want to enjoy ordinary things become extra-ordinary things, then you have to pretend yourself as an alien on earth.

Enjoy the beauty of falling leaf, playing kitten, people eat, and so much wonderful things.

-shift a bit paradigm-

It is not one or two times I saw people pressing pedestrian crossing button repeatedly. I wonder why people do that? Do they think it will make the green light come out faster? For me, as long as I see the red indicator is turn on, that’s enough and just wait. Because I worry if I press the button again, it will reset the timer and make waiting time longer.
We don’t know until we know exactly the algorithm implemented inside pedestrian crossing button device. So let make a guessing.

I boiled two eggs in the morning, when I cracked the eggshell, I got yolk with weird shape!

But the taste is same as normal egg.

Seem like twin chick embryo. Hm…

-nice anomaly-

One day in college, my lecture said "itu pas semangkok bakso harganya Rp500 (when price for a bowl of meatball is Rp500)" as a replacement for years. At that time I just took it as a light joke. Implicitly it tell about inflation, but now I realize that price for a bowl of meatball could be treated as a new kind of currency!

How come? Not currency actually, but may be just a scale, something like BigMac Index.

Let’s take an example. Exchange rate for Singapore Dollar to Indonesian Rupiah is around Rp6600/S$ [1], but does it really meant if we have S$10 will make us feel that we have RP66000? One day a machinery shop owner in my hometown said to me that taxi fare in Singapore is expensive, for around 1 hour journey it cost around S$30. In Jakarta it just cost around Rp100000. Which one is expensive? I don’t know, we can’t compare just by converting the currency, we need to use semangkok bakso currency .

just another journey

feel tired at evening/night?

wanna a glass of cold drink but the weather is so cold?

Feel the warm in a glass of cold drink. Must try! 

Almost no plan, we three — myself, flatmate, and officemate — went to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. We thought it’s better than doing nothing at home. So we got the bus 950 from Woodland Regional Interchange, that is the bus from Woodland Singapore to Kotaraya Malaysia. Qeueuing not too long for the bus, but many people also, may be because this is long weekend, tomorrow is monday and holiday for Deepavali –Indian people festival–.

I think no more than 10 minutes, the bus stop, all passenger alight for passport checking in Check Point Authority of Singapore, then continue. Second time and for last time we stop again, now in Check Point Authority of Malaysia, after no more than 5 minutes journey I think. And,, fyuh… so many people there, queueing so messy, so I called BBQ –barbarqueue–. There is a guy sit behind the desk, writing on "white card"; hm,, he is what we call "calo" in Indonesia , fuh… Malaysia is similar to Indonesia.
