Pimping My Room Part 2

Hell yeah... i woke up earlier today... i was so excited to continue cleaning up my room... i started at 6 in the morning... :) So nice... as u know i've been known as the laziest person who get up almost 11am everyday... If there's nothing to do or having appoinment, i can just keep sleeping till 1 or 2 pm...  But today... i have to change my habit... 

I started up cleaning my bed, changing my bedcover and get a clean blanket. then i moved to the bottom of my bed... hell no.... i can see those spiderman webs under my bed... Get my nimbus 2001 (broom) and start cleaning... took me an hour to clean it up. I've never known if there are other creatures sleeping under my bed... After that i moved to my book shelf... OMG all of my books were covered in dusts... Its an inch thick and i don't know how to clean it. If i used some wet clothes to remove it, it might damage my books and leaves some brown marks... If i used some brush, it will take me ages to do it.... so i come up with an idea... Why not using a vacuum cleaner... Great... I turn it on and *clink *clink broum broum........... dusts are gone. Then...

Mom is calling, she said breakfast is ready... great... i haven't heard my mom shouting like a monster since 2003. that's when i leave my home in Qatar for the first time... So i stop cleaning and going downstair... Nice breakfast today, we have Lontong and Nasi Lemak... (lontong is a traditional Indonesian food and Nasi Lemak is Traditional Rice Cooking with some coconut milk)... I forgot to take a picture of it... After eating my breakfast, mom asked me to drive her to the bus station. She wants to go to Lhokseumawe (North Of Aceh)... 

After dropping my mom at the bus station, i'm going to picked up my dad... he wants me to drive him around Medan City to shop for some househould tools. We went to Jl. Pandu (Pandu Street) to get drilling machine. Then he asked me to go to a shop at Jl. Japaris to buy some water tank (made of fiberglass)... After that, we went to Mesjid Raya (Royal Mosque) to eat fruit salad (Roejak)... Nice... we spend hours talking about our next holiday trip while eating the hottest fruit salad on this planet... While talking, dad asked me if i wanted to get something or want something and i said yes i do... I need a new Monitor.... I need an LCD. As you know my Monitor is still a CRT 17" Type. Its really pain in the ass as you worked hours with that monitor kind because then you'll get dizzy...So i Decided to get a new LCD monitor... 

We went to the computer store... i asked the shop girl about the price of 19" Monitor and i was so surprised. It only cost Rp. 1.500.000 or around $110 for an LG W1941s type. Its not really 19" but 18"5 inch... And i said great, get me one of that monitor... That's just what i need, i don't want to blow to much budget for my living cost anymore because several reasons (well u don't want to know). Althought its cheap or anyone here ever use this kind of monitor before and said its a shit, i just don't care, i tried it out at the shop and it looks great. So i grab one and pay for it...  After that we went to get some lunch at Anugrah Warteg in Jl. Multatuli. I ordered some Bawal Fish and Chickens Barbecue. Dad also ordered the same menu... we go eat eat like hungry hungry... After that we went home... And finally i wrote this post... 

Ok, that's it for today... i really enjoyed going around and spend time with my dad because we don't have a lot of time together... he'll be going back to Qatar in this 8th of march... so i really have to spend more time with him really... 

Start my day off by pimping my room

Today is the first day after graduation. What a great day to start everything back. What does it mean by starting back? Well, i've been waiting so long for this moment to come... the moment where i do not hear too many complains from my parents about not finishing my bachelor degree. moment to start everything from point 0 where i'm going to set my new life strategy to success...

So, today i'm going to clean my room, the place where i start my day and the place where i end my day.  How can i live freely and comfort if i have a messy bedroom where everything is not in its place, dusts and garbages everywhere... I used to live in this rat hole for too long, yes... i'm a discusting little boy whom never clean my room in my life. not a chance because everyday i used to get out at 7:00am for uni and going home at 11:00pm or later. How would i have a chance to do it. I would like you to see my bedroom before i clean it up...

Messy right???

Ok, today i'll clean up my room, try to give it a pimp a.k.a some new decorations so i would stay in a good warm place and spend more time in my room. I started by cleaning and collecting some cans, clothes, papers, and most of the garbages and everything on the floor. Then i'll tidy up my cupboard, its so messy that i could even find my shoes in my cupboard *what the hell. All clean clothes are not settled in a nice way... so i'm going to get everything out, separated some junk food (yeah i love to keep my chips and drinks in my cupboard so no one steal it :)). Well actually i'm taking out everything in there and put them back in its proper way and right place.  This took almost all my day... i think i would need two more days for this because tonight i have to set my tunes at the News Cafe at 9:00 pm... I just finished cleaning my floor and cupboard. Tomorrow i'll continue to pimp up my room...

To Be Continue...

Reborn day, Welcome to the new life...

Wuzzup,

Finally, the day has come for me to start this blog... Today is the day when I graduated from Islamic University of North Sumatra. I got a bachelor degree in Economic Studies... we call it here as SE (Sarjana Ekonomi). I'm so happy coz everything is going smooth, and the rehearsal went well... But i've a great news on my graduation day. The opening of the rehearsal was opened by our Mentri Kordinator Bidang Kesejahteraan Rakyat (Menkokesra) Mr. Abu Rizal Bakri and Mentri  Sosial (Mensos) Mr. Bachtiar Hamzah. What a fabulous graduation day.... Everybody feel so happy about that, because its once in a lifetime opportunity to see a graduation rehearsal opened and attended by Head of our National Ministries. Both of them were giving an half hour motivation speech.

Mr. Bachtiar Hamzah said that everybody in Indonesia should get a good education. Everyone deserve a good quality university programme. Mr. Abu Rizal Bakri said something really interesting. He said, those of you who graduated must have a vision for your future, use many technologies sources like internet to find informations. Connect to networks such as facebook or social networks to build your relationship. Never give up, i failed a lot and you know what, I get my success from the failure, i didn't give up when people around me are not supporting anymore. What a great speech and i just love everything he said... 

After the rehearsal, Me and my family took some photographs. Outside the convention hall there are some photographers offering to get photograph with families or friends with the flower board (Papan Bunga :) ) background. I went around to congratulates my folks whom also graduated. It was great and we all hugs each other because we might not going see some folks anymore. This is what happen in Indonesia, when u are still in uni, u'll see them everyday but after graduated, not a chance. Some folks going to get married (girls especially), some of them might move to another city and most they have a new routines such as working or getting a job when they have no time to meet their old uni friends. So it goes really nice and we all going home with smiles and proud from our parents. 

About

Hi, My name is Agung Arifin. Everyone in my hood called me AGUNG. I was born on Sumatra Island in 1984. I have two younger brother and one younger sister. I'm the eternal optimists, the peacemaker. I can speak 3 languages which are English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Aceh. I enjoy making tea, coffee, eating vegetarians food, going to movies, and car racing. I love to spend hours in my dj studio mixing and practicing my djing skills. I'm a bit obsessed about shopping. I'm not into big brands but anything bargainable would be mine. I always have two choices in my life. I don't like risking my life in any situations, i would love to wait rather than rushing. I enjoy my self while being single and have only little time to spend with my girlfriend. My parents and i used to be separated miles away since I leave Doha, Qatar and settled in Indonesia.

About This Blog:
The reason i created this blog is to record my life journal since i graduated from university. Its obvious, its like the transformation from teenagehood to adulthood. In indonesia where i live, eversince you graduated you will have to move on to the next level, where you need to be settled, getting job, get married or anything called "earning money". I used to be supported by my parents all the time. So, this time i stop it and its kinda shame when you always have your parents back to save your day after you graduate. This blog is about my new life, i would love to keep it updated forever and would be nice if i can share stories about what i achieve and fail. Feel free to come anytime you wanted and leave some comments...

Thanks

Happy new year 2009 and i have to change...

I just wanted to say Happy New Year 2009... wishing you all the best...

Life is changing, so fast and drag everything in any condition to pass through it, no matter either you are prepare or not... I'm one of you, another human on earth trying to struggle my life against time. Flashing back to year 2008, i remember the january 1st 2008 day, i promised to myself and parents that this year i'll be looking through a new life, a better living and such... but what happen then?

Now its 2009, and guess what, my life ain't changing... not so much... i still love lazy ass day staying on my bed for more than 10 hours sleep, i still drink a lot of coffee, i still smoke 2 packs of marlboro lights everything and everything just seems to be the same shit... i feel like i didn't keep my promise to myself and my parents... what a shame on me...

Today, i waked up early, about 5.30am in the morning because my aunty asked me to go to get some groceries for breakfast. I waked up and get a cup of coffee and sit in my room and surf the net... while i'm blog walking, somebody message me and asked me if i want to join them for sunday night party... and there is the moment...
I'm not really naif to say that i'm not going to this party... everybody who knew me in my real life happens to believe that i'll come to any party because i love crowds... any type of crowds and the person who just message me does that too... so i stood up a while, thinking where am i heading today...? While trying to decide where to go, i finally realise that, man... this is 2009, do something better, do something worth and get paid... hummm does this really make sense to you guys? thinking about doing something worth...
Yes... everybody knows if you go to a party you gonna spend... and i party alot... more than you can imagine, i think this is the time to change... time to try something new, something i didn't do much and change the whole routine...
People believe future is what we do in the past and i believe that too... from what i was doing in the past like i practice hard for djing and now i was booked everyweek for a dj gig... so it would be better if i do something worth to do everyday to get the best things in the future...

Finding the weakness of me is also another part of change... i have lots of weakness as a human being, this would cost many problems in my life, i was a lazy fat person and never do something big in life. So, i'm going to push every weakness of my life, from my self, the hood, and everything around me... i know its hard but i have to try...

So, in this 2009 i will change, not just mentioning i want to change, but i have to do it as well, and i start today by writing this article, then clean my room, then fix my computer and take care my car to the garage and this is my new routine... I HAVE TO CHANGE.......
