First Time Went to See Concert

For the first time i watched a concert in Singapore Esplanade Theater.. HOHOHO

So what is Esplanade?? Most people should have known that it is one of the landmark here in Singapore..

So Esplanade is a durian + building design. Singapore took durian as the concept because Durian is Asia's signature fruit. You cant find it so often in western part of the world there.. haha

It was actually a charity concert organized by Tzu Zhi Foundation, the largest Buddhist Organization in the World.




Start my way from Bugis Junction and took the same old bus, but who knows that now the bus track has been changed. Instead of turning to Esplanade area, it went inside to the new Marina Bay Sands Hotel area. It has just opened for public last week, if i am not wrong.


Marina Bay Sands Hotel with Huge Ship at the Top of the building

I cant wait to go to ship at least once while i am in Singapore. It has a big park there and a cafe for people to enjoy the view from top of the building.

Had to change my bus on the opposite bus stop, and i forgot to tap out when i got out from the bus.. But well, does not matter, i still pay the same amount when i reach Esplanade. Hahaha.

Meet up with my auntie there, and we directly rush into the concert hall as it almost 7.30 PM that time.

Indonesia in Shanghai World Expo 2010

As anyone knows that Shanghai World Expo is going to start on 1st May 2010 and end on 31 October 2010. There will be total of 200 participating countries all over the world.

And as an Indonesian, i am going to write about Indonesia's Expo here.

Each country will built their pavilion in which they will show case their culture to the world. Indonesia is also one of the participants of Shanghai World Expo 2010.

Indonesia's Pavilion Preview

Theme : Indonesia Biodiver City
Highlights : Bamboo, Waterfall
Designer : Design Group Leaded by Budi Lim
Pavilion Area : around 4000 square metres
Location : Within Zone B of the Expo Site



The use of bamboo as the exterior of the Pavilion's Ceiling symbolizes the synergy between the traditional and contemporary lifestyle of Indonesia, as well as to show the world that Indonesia is very strong although it has been faced with lots of natural disaster, terrorist attacks and Indonesia still stands strong until now.. MERDEKA!!! Hidup Indonesia!!

The pavilion will be a 4 story pavilion, including performance stage, and auditorium and a multi-media theater which will show a lively presentation on Indonesian's Culture.




The waterfall will be created in the middle of the building a unique view in the pavilion. It also serves Indonesian traditional food such as Satay and Nasi Kuning as well as Indonesian singing and dancing.






I guess that's all for Indonesia's Pavilion in Shanghai World Expo 2010. Hope you all enjoy it..


Wish i can go to Shanghai also..

Ciaozzz

The Next Apple's Iphone 4G or HD

These few days, the Internet especially Gizmodo has been a hot place where they got a prototype of new iphone which is to be called Iphone 4G or HD..

Based from what those Gizmodo guys has confirmed, it is confirmed to be the next Apple's Iphone. It is supposed to released somewhere around summer or June this year. So for those who had already planned to buy Iphone 3G or 3GS, you could wait for just a month or two.


It has the latest technology inside.. Below is the new Apple Iphone specs taken from Gizmodo (2010):

 The Lost Phone

What's new

• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960x640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What's changed

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery

The Gizmodo team bought that phone (for $5000) from someone who founds it in The Gourmet Haus Staudt, a Germany Bar, where by the owner of that phone leave it there after maybe drunk or forget about it. The owner called as Gray Powell, an Apple Software Engineer.

 The Owner of The phone

Now Apple's has been trying hard to get the lost phone back desperately.

It was actually has been leaked the day the new IPad images has been leaked.. People never thought that it was the new Apple's phone and they just focus on the Ipad Itself..

Here is the picture

You want laugh on a stressing day?? Watch This..

This post dedicated to all of you who seeks to laugh... Maybe because you got lots of work to do, thinking of something important but seems hard to do it.. Forget it for a momment..

Enjoy this video first.. This actually a japanese show where they will punish whoever laugh.. 





Plus this cute baby panda sneezing.. 



Sleep Fengshui..

I am not sure if i what i am gonna write down today is true or not.. This is just something that happened to me 2 days ago.


My friend said, even when we sleep, there is thing called sleep fengshui whereby when you sleep your body must not face to the windows or front door. This is because when you slept like that, the ghost will come and try to take your spirit away leaving you dead body behind. in other words, you might die!!


As i was sleeping in the living room with my body facing to the front door, and i had nightmare few times. First time, i dreamed whereby i saw a ghost flying around outside of my house.. Because i am little bit curious as i want to see how's the face looks like, i called the ghost few times.. "Oi Ghost Ghost"

THen so suddenly, the ghost fly to infront of my face.. I was shocked although i cant see the face clearly. I was trying to say something, but dunno why my sound wont come out.. Is it because i am scared??


After that, i try my best to wake up because i knew that it was a dream. Yeah, i can say that i am proud of myself on how i aware to i am inside my dream land... HOHOHOHO..



Second time i slept with my body face to front door again!!!


That night is the most terrible night.. i dunno how it began, i only remember the part where suddenly there was a ghost on top of me ( i was laying down on the bed).. suddenly the ghost push my head to the right, and the ghost took out his tongue and the tongue began to move inside my ear.. I was so scared and felt painful because the ghost hands was like pressuring down on my right ribs (the side of the ribs where you can feel ticklish if somebody tickling you).. I try my best to wake up because i knew it was just a dream.. But it was so difficult. I began to chant Buddhist Chanting.. and saying something like "Repent yourself" and start chanting "Na mo amitafou" few times until i woke up.




When i woke up, i dunno why my body feel so weak, and the pain on my left ribs still can be felt.. I slowly move my body facing to the wall after that..

So, i am not sure if you should believe this story or not and if the sleeping fengshui is really effective or not.. Read and believe it if you want..


May The GHost Be WitH You Tonite .......

Just kidding..


BOOOOOOOOO

Here Comes The Offer!!

Finally, after 1 n half month of struggling to find a work here in Singapore has been paid off. I got the offer from E-Cop Pte Ltd, as an Associate Security Analyst [ sounds cool right ^^]. My responsibilities is quite simple.. Reading logs, interpret them, and  alert the network admin of the corresponding company.



I hope i can easily understand how to read and interpret those logs, as i had little bit of experience only. My plan is to become senior Security Analyst just within 1 year. Hope it can be done. After that if everything is going smoothly, i want to become a consultant. ^^



Instead of just sitting down in office, it will much better to interact with the customer as well. Then must also certified myself with GCIA, CISSP, and CCNA. hahahaha


Yesterday, i went out with Sylvia Eka and her cousin. She is my friend from Senior High School until now. Met her in Swensen in Bugis Junction. I had lots of fun chatting with my fren that i almost forgot that i got an appointment with her. I was shocked when i read the sms from her, and quickly changed myself and went to the place of meeting. Hahaha


I had an ice cream there, it was called "Gold Rush" if i am not wrong.



Swensen's Gold Rush

Overall taste ok.. and there is promotion of buying 1 for 1 that day. ^^

After that we continue our travelling to suntec city, and straight go to Fountain of Wealth. We were lucky to be there close to 7pm because that is the time where the fountain was turned off so that people can walk in the centre and raise their lucks. Because it is believed that people who walked circling the fountain will get lucky.

But too bad, i din go there to do like what most tourists did. ^^
Nevermind, there will be next time, cause i might stay in here for quite a long time.

Fountain of Wealth


From top view

7PM, and people start to walk into the middle fountain.. ^^

Took some pictures there but too bad currently the photo were not with me :(

After that, we continued back to the Convention Centre because i said there was supposed to be some kind of IT show today.. But too bad, there was Travel Fiesta instead of the IT show. I guessed the show might be in somewhere else in suntec, not in the convention centre.

After that we walked down to the first floor, and on 4th floor there were Prewedding or wedding photogprahy.. Imagine when you walked there with a girl friend (friend that is a girl, not ur darling). The moment i stepped on the floor, a guy come and approached me.. 

Him : "Hi Sir!! You are looking for pre-wedding photo?? We have a promotion here. Here is the brochure!
Me : "Ahh,, no no.. We are just passing by only. Thanks"
Him : "Oh OK"

Then we walked and see some of the photos. My friend's cousin also getting married soon, so she was looking around to see the concept and who knows she can used that concept later for her wedding photography..

Not even walked for more than 15 steps. another man approached me.

Him: "Hi Sir, You are getting married??" [ actually in mandarin ]
Me: "No no, we are just friend only. Not couple."

We just laughing and laughing.,. haha.. Coz on that floor, almost every stands approached me and talk about the same thing. I said "Ayo turun, makin parah ntar klu jalan lama2" [ Let's us go down quickly, if not will be very funny later ].. haha
Wondering why when they offered this offer, they will ask the man first.. hahaa Can ask the girl also ma,.. Lolx

After that we continue to Marina Square, as they want to go to Merlion. In Marina Square, i bought CROCS Flip because i have been waiting all for this day to come.. haha..

Planned since last week to buy, and we were in marina square that day, so why not..

 My First Crocs Shopping Bag.. :P

My First Crocs Flip. It is called Modi Flip

Pass through the Esplanade, and it was my first time to see the live show at the Esplanade water front. It was actually a very good scenery from there, where you can see the Merlion and new Marina Bay (still in construction though). Imagine if the marina has finished, it will be an amazing scene.

Bridge Somehere near Fullerton Hotel.

After that continue walking to Merlion and took some pictures there. Drove back by my friend's friend. And come back home with a very tired face.. hahaha

Happy Day For Everyone ^ ^
