Friendship

After long vacant post, I'll try to write something.
This is about Friendship. A one word that had a lot of meaning.

I still remembered when the time I was loosing some thing that very precious.
It's like loosing all the grab that I could find.
Loosing the floor that I stepped into.

My Best Friend rescued me, even though that I don't pay close attention to them when I still had my precious thing. They didn't complained... They didn't ask a lot of question. They just let me to sit next to them, and wait until I'm ready to tell them about my stories.

They helped me to outcomes the big lost. They also bring the cheer and happiness.
Sometimes I wonder, Why that I was so damned lucky to have such a good friends.
But that was a friend for..
To stand beside you..
To comfort you when you were in sorrow.
Share hapiness while you were happy.

Thank you Lord for giving me a chance to know my friend better.
Thank you Lord for make me loosing my precious thing.
Learning to accept and Learn to move on is a great lesson for me.
Thank you Lord for giving me the best friends ever.

I now should have faith in myself.
To discover what beneath the skies.
Autumm and Winter had passed.
Lets us give the warmest welcome to the new Spring.

Spring in my life,
Spring in your life.

Do more with your precious life.
Do it with your friends.

Special Farewell for Feliz

2 Years we’ve known each other.
2 Years we’ve share our little secrets together.
To be honest, this is count of my best 2 years.

Now, U choose ur path,
I’ll keep on my path.
To watch u fly
To watch u reach the sky
Hopefully that u get what u want

What ever that holds you back to the ground
Please let them go
You’ll not fly as highly as possible if you still holdin on.

Love is not selfish
Love is not happy for your self
Sometimes to love mean we should sacrifice our happiness a bit
For someone that we loved.

If u feel be ing intimidated,
That’s not a right attitude
Read “The Magic of Thinking Big”
You’ll find the reason, why I said that.

Feliz, carry on your journey
Keep PDC in ur heart.
I don’t asked u to keep it in your deepest part of your heart
But keep it on the place that you’ll someday open it
To Smile and to Laugh

Farewell Feliz,
It’s really nice to know you
It’s really nice to share with you
I’ll be missing you at the 5 o’clock from mine
But the new one will surely come
Hopefully he/she will as great as you

Becareful when parking your vehicle

Last Saturday, when i was eating at Hari-Hari Restaurant something bad happened.

Arrived at Hari-Hari Restaurant, I asked the Parking Man about where I can park my vehicle. He was pointing the spot right to the left side of the Parking Entrance close to the road. Since there was another motor vehicle that parked there, I went to the parking spot, and parked my vehicle.

1 hour later, my relatives told my mom that there were thieves in front of Hari-Hari. My mom asked him, "What that he was trying to steal?" "A Big red Motorcycle", he answered. My mom hurried n hush to tell me the situation. I got up from my chair, walked to the front, and see my motorcycle is still there.
But there were some people there, and some security people is out there too. So I decided to see closely what happened.

My Disc Brake Lock were Opened, it was already switched to ready to Start mode. I was thinking that I forgot to take my key from the vehicle when I left my motorcycle. But when I am checking my pocket I still found my key safe and clean with me.

Luckily I put an Electronic Alarm to my vehicle. So even tough the thief is already opened all the security key that I’ve put on, the motorcycle is still can't be started.

The strange part is... Where were the parking entrance men? Remember, I parked my vehicle right to the left of the parking entrance. He told me that, he was parking other vehicle at another spot when it happened. What?? Could he just leave the entrance not guarded?? Where were their responsibilities?

My Vehicle were closely vanish :D but saved by the alarm.
Remember, when ever u go to a place like Hari-Hari, don't park ur vehicle on the side near the road. The security guard is so careless. (It could be that they had some team work to steal vehicle)

So, please be careful when u will park ur vehicle!!!
Don't bother to use Disk Brake Lock Key, it doesn't help.
My disc brake key is big, and so thick, but they could bend it anyhow.
Buy a big and solid Security Lock like Fence Lock, that only can be opened by your key only, and if they were trying to brute force opening the lock it only can do by cutting the metal (it will slowing they movement). And don't trust any security guard, we paid for parking, but if our vehicle lost something, they pretend that they didn't do anything wrong.

Always pray, and may God bless u all.

8 Balls Competition

Several days ago, i went to Metro Pool Center, and play 8 Ball Game with several of my friends.

Well, the result is outstanding, i had lost 5 times in a row :p (Whats the big deal)
Well today post is for telling that even i had known pool since i was in junior high, my friend that start playing pool in last March can beat me 5 times in a row :p (See how stupid i am in playing pool).

No, thats not the point :p
What i'm trying to say here is hard works, and talents will surely beat the old man out (hehehehe i'm the old man in this stories).

One of my friends, that very dedicated him self to pool (he was a local master in my town) told me that my aim is so bad, even if the ball is straight to the pocket, i still can missed the ball from the pocket:p My elbow is not relaxed when stroke, so usually my ball goes a little bit out of target.

Hm.. Continuing my lost post :p
Tonight I'll play with a friend of my friend that have a tremendous skill of pool.
He once said, People that good at aim and stroke, usualy play with smooth, and no power. There is no Power Game. Slowly and place the cue ball to the right spot.

To hard to understand... indeed..
Some people haste when playing, and don't aim right, and sometimes forgot to look the next ball. Looking the next target ball is a important skill to learn. I've a friend that had skills which can be able to put the cue ball nearly to the next target ball (It's verry amazing when watching him playing).

How to aim straight???
Hm.. this is the one that I'm trying to learn too. Let see.... The most basic strategy is to imagine a Ghost Ball behind the target ball. Imagine it behind and pull the straight line from the Ghost Ball to the Pocket. It will surely go in if you can stroke well.

Okay. How to Stroke well then??
To stroke well, put ur bridge about 1 1/2 ball from the cue ball. Placed your head right above the cue stick. Your hand should be relaxed, Target the cue ball first with the effect that you want, and then aim the target ball, Use the appropriate effect to your cue ball, look at the target ball again. When you are sure with what your aim at, continue with taking a pre stroke several times. Makes sure your pre stroke goes well and not hitting the cue ball. You're ready to stroke well now. As one of the method to practice stroke well, place the choke at the end of the rail, and aim the cue ball the the choke. Practice it with no Cue Ball Effect. If your cue ball is back right in front of your cue stick, that's mean your stroke is straight well=)

Okay... let see how's tonight game will be :D

C yaaa,

Evening Chat

Menjelang Malam, sedikit lewat jam normal makan malam.
Berkumpul beberapa orang, cowok cewek berbincang-bincang (small talk). Ga ngegosip, tapi membahas perbedaan cowok dan cewek yang mungkin sebagian besar orang sudah sadar. Yang cewek komplain tentang sifat cowok, yang terlalu tidak peka, terlalu cuek, terlalu tidak peduli, takut di tolak.
Yang cowok komplain tentang sifat cewek yang ga mo bilang langsung to the point, pake minta cowoknya ngerasa-rasa.

Hehehe.. ini sih sebenernya sampe kapan juga ga bakalan klop…
Seperti di beberapa buku yang g baca… Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus…
Dua mahluk berbeda yang bertemu di bumi, dan saling tertarik karena perbedaannya.

Tim Cewek: Kenapa sih Cowok tuh gak peka banget ama perasaan cewek? Masa segala sesuatunya harus di bilang sih, kan malu… sadar sendiri kek klo ceweknya lagi butuh sesuatu, misalnya lagi minta di anterin pergi ke mall, atau lagi butuh temen ngobrol.
Tim Cowok: Ya, apa susahnya sih bilang langsung, speak direct aja… kita kadang ga ngerti apa maunya cewek klo ga bilang. Masa sih kita harus nebak-nebak. Ntar klo tebakannya salah di omelin lagi.

Tim Cewek: Cowok tuh klo PDKT ma cewe jangan lama-lama, ntar ceweknya keburu illfill lho, klo ada suka…. Apa salahnya sih langsung bilang, emang ga mo gambling apa?? Paling juga di tolak.. (Reaksi Spontan cowok: Gak enak tauk di tolak). Tapi emang ada baiknya jangan lama-lama klo lg PDKT, sebulan aja uda lama lho… soalnya kan tiap hari deket terus.
Tim Cowok: Sebenarnya bukan takut di tolak sih, Cuma mau kepastian aja.. jadi sebelum nembak, klo bisa tau hasil akhirnya dulu, mo di tolak kek mo di terima kek… yang penting tau hasil akhirnya aja.
Tim Cewek: Emang klo tau hasilnya bakal di tolak kalian bakal nembak juga?
Tim Cowok: Hehehehe, Nggak….

Tim Cewek: Klo misalnya nembak cewek, bikin eventnya berkesan n special gitu, klo bisa jangan keliatan kaya mo nembak, jadi kita-kita gak gelisah. Mo hasilnya diterima apa ditolak kek, yang penting eventnya special. Pasti teringat terus deh ^___^ (Sambil senyum kompak).
Tim Cowok: Eh??? Iya ya??
Tim Cewek: Iya dong… (langsung ngasih beberapa contoh event special).

Tim Cowok: Cewek tuh klo lagi ada masalah, truss ditanyain… “Kamu baik2 aja kan? Lu gak papa kan?” selalu bilang… (dipotong tim cewek: “Gak papa kok”)
Tim Cowok Cewek: (Tertawa bareng)
Tim Cewek: Mestinya rayu lagi dong… masa Cuma sekali tanya doang sih… truss abis kita bilang ga papa, kalian langsung bilang “Ya udah” trus pergi gitu? Gimana sih ga niat nanyanya…
Tim Cowok: Yeeeee….. kan kita uda nanyain baik2… klo ada masalah ya bilang dong to the point… Ya… terkadang kita nanya2 lagi kok…. Tapi klo jawabannya tetep aja “gak papa kok / ga ada apa-apa kok” biasanya kami diamkan dulu beberapa saat, tunggu kalian mau cerita kenapa, kasih kalian mikir gitu lho.

Tim Cewek: Gimana pendapat kalian tentang cewek yang nembak cowok duluan?
Tim Cowok: Hm… relatif ya?? Klo emang kami suka… ya bagus dong… gak perlu usaha berat2, tapi klo kami gak suka, kami akan makin ga suka sama cewek yang kaya gitu. Secara umum sih, lebih baik kami yang berusaha, jadi ada perjuangannya gitu lho..
Tim Cewek: Ooooooooo

Tim Cowok: Kami gak suka, klo kami buat kesalahan di masa lalu, truss di ungkit-ungkit lagi di ke depannya. Kami juga tau kok kami salah, gak perlu di ingatin terus…
Tim Cewek: Hm…… (Ada yang sependapat, dan kasih testimonial tentang hubungannya yang berjalan semakin baik dengan pengertian ini).

Tim Cowok: Gimana reaksi kalian klo ada cowok yang nembak kalian, truss kalian ga suka?
Tim Cewek: Secara umum sih kami bakal buat dinding terselubung.
Tim Cowok: Iya, kami tau diri kok… setelah dindingnya terpasang, kami pergi kok… cari yang lain ^__^
Tim Cewek: Klo sebaliknya gimana?
Tim Cowok: Hehehehe sama aja kali ya…
Tim Cewek: Emang ga bisa ya klo uda ditolak gitu temenan?
Tim Cowok: Bisa-bisa aja sih… Cuma klo ada tembok gitu kan beda lah…

Tim Cewek: Dasar cowok itu, klo lagi PDKT aja manis2… klo uda di tolak / putus aja… langsung deh berubah….
Tim Cowok: Lha… iya lah… klo lagi PDKT kan kami perlakukan cewek yang kami suka istimewa… masa kami perlakukan sama seperti temen biasa. Lah klo di tolak atau putus kan statusnya jadi teman… ya tentu saja kami perlakukan cewek tersebut sebagai teman aja, dengan perhatian yang juga sebagai teman. So… Wajar dong?
Tim Cewek: Hm… iya juga sih ya… hihihi

Tim Cewek: Klo lagi PDKT ma cewek, serius dong… jangan sehari SMS, sehari gak… sehari telp.. sehari gak… tunjukkan dong niat serius mu…
Tim Cowok: Oooooooooo pantesan…. (pengalaman ceweknya ilfill gara2 gak rajin)

Tim Cewek: Klo misalnya cowok suka ma cewek, truss kirim-kirimin puisi, atau apa yang berbau cinta-cintaan, truss di bales dengan puisi yang lucu-lucu… itu artinya ceweknya ga ada feeling ma cowoknya, tapi klo di balas dengan… “g gak ngerti apaan sih isinya”, itu artinya sedang memancing kalian untuk nembak langsung.
Tim Cowok: OOOOoooooooooo gitu ya (Mendengarkan dengan serius)
Tim Cewek: Iyaaaa (dengan kompak, truss sambil sharring beberapa contoh yang mancing dan yang gak suka).

^_________^ Begitulah kurang lebih evening chat yang makan waktu kurang lebih 2 jam.
Gimana pendapat teman-teman yang gak ikutan chat bareng? Mungkin ada pendapat lain, or ada tambahan?
Hehehe atau g nulisnya gak lengkap… Ya maaf-maaf aja klo gak lengkap, ada beberapa pernyataan yang tidak bisa di tuliskan menyangkut dengan privacy dari nara sumber.

Salam Mars & Venus,
Ochep
