what a weekend? Every body go For Cheng Beng?? 
Monday, April 2, 2007, 10:26 AM - Personal
It's been a while that i don't write my blog.

It doesn't mean I become lazy to update my blog or lazy to online. I'm just kinda busy with my work and try to get extra cash for myself.

so, how is my weekend? last weekend was a busy day for chinese people. why is that? have you ever heard about "Cheng Beng"?

I was try to give a good explanation in english about what is Cheng beng? while i'm surfing the net. i got a great and simple explanation about what it is.

"one major event in the Chinese calendar, observed by Chinese communities all over the world is All Souls Day, also known as Cheng Beng or Qing Ming, which falls on April 5 every year. (except on leap years when it falls on April 4)

During this period, the Chinese community will visit graves of deceased family members and ancestors to pay their respects by praying(for buddhist and taoist). it can be done 10 days before and after the actual date of Cheng Beng. Graves are weeded and cleaned, joss paper burn and offerings are made."


Whole my family gather, pray and pay their respects for my grandma (my dad's mom) on last sunday in one of the temple in jakarta. My uncle (my dad's second elder bother) when to china and clean my grandpa's grave in Xiamen ( our ancestor hometown) :)

My mom and my aunts ( my mom's sisters) went to visit my grandpa and grandma's( my mom's mom and dad) grave in Medan, North Sumatera. Basically it was a busy week for my family. My mom just got back to jakarta last saturday.

O yeah, me and gf went to watch " Mr.Bean: Holiday" on saturday noon. we decided to watch it at noon. since i have to stay at home at nite. It's my time to stay at home and taking care the house.

Alot of people try to get tickets for the movies. We have to stay in a long queue to get it.

On Sunday after "Cheng Beng", some of my family members gather with us and have lunch together at Sands restaurant. After that, me, my gf, my bro in law, both of my sisters, my mom, and both of my aunts went to get dresses for my bro wedding incoming May 2007.

At nite, we have to dinner together in celebrating my lil sis b'day. she is 22 year olds. it was a great weekend and a busy one too.

how is ur weekend?

Mr.bean: Holiday :Reviews 
Monday, April 2, 2007, 09:54 AM - Movie Reviews


Who love to watch Mr.bean TV serials? i love them. they're classic and funny. Never feel bore to watch it couple times.

When his movie is released on theater, I'm very excited and insisted want to watch it. To get the tickets, We have to queue for hours. The theater is packed with children.

What do i think about this movie?? I like the tv serials better than this movie.

even though it has a fresh and unique storyline, it's still not as funny as i assume it 's going to be. it's below my expectation. I'm a bit disappointed with movie. But there are some scenes that really crack me out :)

Don't miss it, if you like Mr.bean. It still a good movie to entertaining you.

My rating for this movie is 6.3/10

Weekend is over. A very bad month for my Car 
Monday, March 26, 2007, 06:58 AM - Personal
I was too busy on friday until I don't have time to update my blog. I worked with my team until 7pm, updating our project and publish it to our website. it's a tax calculation website in indonesian version. you can check it out here http://www.excelsoft.co.id/

It wasn't a great month for my car. I was very carefully in taking care of my car. I love my car very much. it's Honda JAZZ ( in Indonesia) or Called FIT (outside Indonesia).

Still, I've been hit by careless motorcycles for several times. All the careless motorcycles run aways from the scene very fast. F**@! really pissed me off.

Saturday, i was hang out whole day with my mom, sister, aunt and gf again. They looking for dress again for the party that i mention before on last entry.

On sunday, I was planning to watch "DREAM GIRL" but my mood totally changed on that day.

My car stopped when traffic light is red. Suddenly, from the left side of my car. there is a DUMB VIOS WTI(Toyota) hit my car by reversing her car. My car is moved from the hit, means she reversed in high speed. That dumb lady want to run away from the scene. Lucky, I come out the car and stop it. and hit the car ask her to park back. This is the first time, I met an old lady that sly as a FOX. We are arguing for 3 hours. She can make 10 different stories and ask for sympathy tbat try to convince people that i'm the one who hit her. Luckly, every one is not as DUMB as her. From the condition of my car , everybody know that i'm the one that being hit. even the police know that she is a dumb old lady. Before i'm calling the cops, there's peoples that try to help us solving the problem and find solution. at the end, they give up.

She said i was blackmailing her. After I explain to everyone that i just ask her to pay for my insurance claim which is 150.000 rupiah (around 15 US dolar) People not putting sympathy on her anymore and told me to call the police to solve this problem.

we were arguing and wait for the police until 3 hours. when the police come, not more than 10 minutes. I get what I want.

O yeah , she even said her husband is sick and sit inside the car for 3 hours with the heat around 35 celcius degree for 3 hours.

U believe the husband is sick?? Well, I don't. if he is really sick, he might be dying. I'm very sure about he is only a turtle that hide behind the old lady back!!!!!

Thank you and love u , Yenny, my gf for accompany me and help me arguing with this old lady.

The good thing is I get my rights at the end!!! The sad thing is i just know that insurance claim is 200.000 rupiah. not 150.000.

when the problem solved, me and my gf are very tired. So, we decide not to do anything yesterday.

what a bad month!!

how is ur day?

300 : Reviews 
Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 07:02 AM - Movie Reviews


I Watched this movie on sunday.I NEVER HAVE AN INTENTION TO SEE THIS MOVIE AT ALL. When I saw the preview of this movie. I already lost my interest of seeing this movie. Even it's Marvel Movie, the Title and Preview wasn't good or interesting at all.

Me and my Gf went to watch this movie, because of there is no other movie to watch. so, we bought the tickets and watch it.

WOW... THUMBS UP!! Not only the storyline is interesting, then effects and the fighting scenes were great. Remember, even this movie is good. still its a brutal movie for young kids. When you see it, you will understand what i mean.

I'm going to give this movie a rating : 9/10

I think this is the first time i give high ranking for a movie.

It's tuesday, U have a good weekend? 
Tuesday, March 13, 2007, 06:43 AM - Personal
It's hard for me to access my website in my office. The access is limited. So, usually, i write my blog at home, half an hour before i go to my office.

How is my weekend?? I have a great weekend. It starts with a great dinner with my co-workers and ex-co-workers. It was a treat. there are 13 of us. We have our meal in Pizza Hut. I hate Pizza Hut in jakarta. Some of the places don't provide dry cheese anymore. They even lie to us about the cheese, they said it's out of stocks. I went to 4 different places. They said the same thing. PIZZA HUT IN JAKARTA SUCKS!!!!!!!

on saturday, I went for a movie with my GF, the movie was "The Persuit of Happyness" I already give my review on my previous entry. It was a great movie. At nite, I went to my friend's wedding. The place was ok. Even though the table was too small for 10 people. The food was ok. But, we gather and having fun. that's the main point.

On sunday, me and my gf went to a mall that having a big sales. Did we get any thing?? No, not really. We just look around. Nothing cacth my attention. At nite, me, my gf, my sister, her husband, her husband's big bro and his gf went to IZZI PIZZA for a dinner. We got a great deal from esia mobile phone services which pay for half prices. This is my second time eating there with my GF for this 2 weeks :)

This is my weekend, how is urs?

The Pursuit of Happyness : Reviews 
Monday, March 12, 2007, 09:53 PM - Movie Reviews


I watched this movie last saturday with my girlfriend. I don't know what. when I look at the prewiew, i already told my gf that i'm going to watch this movie. She said she want to watch it too but not as excited as I am.

This movie is based on true story. There're alot of good and bad morals in it. The fact is this kind of living could happen to anyone. It's an interesting movie. I suggest you to watch this movie. Cos this movie will give you inspiration and let u know how meaningful is your life.

My rating for this movie is 8/10
