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.......
