It is 10 days into 2011. Still can't forget about her. Visited her today, I know i shouldn't have do that. But can't help myself, missed her so much. have a little chat, that can ease me up a lil.
Things are not getting any better in the office, still with that morronic boss. Try to keep my head up and keep walking.
My plan to start a company on my own is already in motion, spent a lot of time, figuring out the concept while my friend figuring out the more technical stuff. Hoping so much that this plan will be a success, too much failure already.
Fighting for a better tomorrow.

Gembala Baik High School

Today is 30 December 2010. Two days left in 2010.
I was still a second year high school student 10 years ago. I studied in a catholic high school in my hometown Pontianak. It is a year after the ethnic clash in my hometown, hundred of thousand of people were killed during the sambas riot in 1999.
A year after that I finished my high school in 2001 and went to Jakarta, the capital, in order to pursue my future. But I was only a poor kid from a poor family, I don't have any money, and trying my best to survive in Jakarta. Try my luck to try taking test for the best university in the country, The university of Indonesia. Study hard, but failed. almost given up, but my eldest brother lend a hand to me, and gathered some money in order for me to continue my study to an university. But with the limited amount of money, I could only study in low level campus. Spent 4 miserable years in an awful environment, while i try to survive with a small amount of money provided by my brother every month. Sometimes, I have to get starved, and eat only once every day. It was harsh times.
However finished my study and got my degree in 2005, but things didn't get any better. I try to apply for job, and didn't got any job for a couple of months, maybe because I was graduated from a campus with no recognition. Almost given up, and then left Jakarta for Batam Island, an island town neighbouring Singapore. Spent 2 months there looking for a job, but still couldn't find any. Starting to loose hope.

MEDAN, North Sumatra

Went back to Jakarta, and finally got a job as a car sales, But I spent more then I earn. I only earn about IDR 1 million a month (100 USD). And i quit the job after two months.
Start to look for another job, and finally by July 2006, got a job in Bank Central Asia, the largest bank in Indonesia. It was a really turning point of my life. Never before imagined I could get such a good job. Spent my first year as a trainee in the bank's management development program. Then they sent me to one of it's branch In Medan, Sumatera Island. I spent two years in Medan. A lot of story I got about Medan. But maybe i'll tell it in another post. Went back to jakarta by August 2009, and been working in Jakarta since than as a banker.
Life is full of surprises, we will never know what will come next. Try to be positive and live my life to the fullest.

Baby in China Born with Second Face

Children born with facial deformities are always a sad tale. Whether or not it’s something correctable, such as a cleft palate, or something you just have to live with, like Moebius syndrome, it’s always gut-wrenching that a poor child has to suffer such a condition. One such example is Kangkang, a 14-month old born with a transverse facial cleft. What does this mean?

It means the baby essentially has a second face. Hailing from the Hunan province, all signs pointed to a normal, healthy baby for young Yi Xilian, but once Kangkang was born, the truth was revealed. The poor child looks like he’s literally wearing a mask, due in part to a massive cleft that extends almost all the way up to his ears. Unable to see her son upon birth, the unfortunate mother, who is employed at a company that manufactures electronics in the Guangdong Province, pleaded and pleaded with her husband to see the newborn. After finally be handed the child, she broke down into tears.

No one knows what causes this unfortunate condition, though theories abound. It could be caused by an infection, or even frequent drug use by the mother. According to one source, the only drugs the mother took while pregnant were prescribed anti-abortion agents her doctors prescribed. Sadly, this condition is incredibly expensive to treat, as Yi learned when she took Kangkang at 20-days old to a hospital in Changsha. The final tally: around 300-400,000 Yen, or approximately 80,000 to 100,000 dollars.

Thankfully, there is a happy ending, as Kangkang’s family has managed to gather together enough money for treatment at the People’s Liberation Army’s Military No. 163 Hospital.
