English Please !

[mang jami]

darn .... it took me too long to download the game ...

[Raido]

i must protest if the final enemy of this game would be pocong.
it's gotta be a hell lot bigger and tougher...
thus, I promote Green Gendruwo ::ngakak2::


and i promote 2 for mid boss is...............tuyul :ngakak3:

[xnuckingfutsx]

waks, tuyul ::hihi::

[kusanagi97]

I haven't got the chance to play the game again...hopefully by the end of the day...

[Raido]

i agree with mang jami said.................damn! it took so long downloading da game..........waiting.com suppose to be ;D

[mang jami]

it would be nice if someone burn and send me a copy of the game ... but i guess that would be asking too much ... :D

[xnuckingfutsx]

yeah, your wish ;D

[Raido]

Burn da game which it size just 13 mB? isn't it to obvious? ;D

[mang jami]

i was just asking ... and who knows ... somebody would be kind enough (or perhaps just plain kind...) to do that ...

[kusanagi97]

it took me 15 minutes to download the game....hmmm..

[jojox]

15 minutes?
are u on dial-up or cable?

hmm.....

[kusanagi97]

i'm on cable...but 13MB should take less than 1-hour for dial up...

[xnuckingfutsx]

my internet connection has been going slow since last week :(

[kusanagi97]

mine has been on and off for the whole week...

[9thmalice_vex]

I can briwse normally on my connection, but it's trash aagainst downloads and online games. so yeah, shit happened this week.

[kusanagi97]

[dragunova]

I'm using Indonet. KV too.

[xnuckingfutsx]

i have no idea what connection i use ;D

[kusanagi97]

[Ireth Halliwell]

How I hate pocong so much --"
But I'm downloading the game anyway ;D
I hope I'm not too scared to play the game.. @_@

Setiabudi: Hey.. if you need help for Javanese dubbing, I can help :D Live in eh.. Malang? I can help ^_^ And the english one too if you want to fix them...

[jojox]

[jojox]

you begin to sound like RANDY JACKSON when u used dawg!

::ngakak2:: ...have i told ya, once I took a walk in downton Minneapolis with ma' backpack. A little while before that, I did a summer internship in Papua where I got tanned ...rather overly done. ::unggg:: So i was walking around the corner and these two black homeless dudes sort of approached me and asked : " Yo, Nigga, ya'll got any change man?" ::ngakak2:: and I was like : WHAtt.. nah...i aint got no change man. (with a low and terrified tone) .
i shit you not, they called me by that name. I didnt think anybody would know and probably half of the people I met are still curious as to where Im from. I didnt give a whoop anyhow.

::bart:: so..page 275 eh? aight...i'd dig it up.

[kusanagi97]

u should have been polite by giving them a change ... i mean a change of attitude ... that calling name is impolite ...

[xnuckingfutsx]

in the neighbourhood like that, i'd do the same as jojox ;D

[Raido]

whoa...........they call u a nigga? %heh maybe they stare at ur skinz?or maybe they thought u were same like them

btw what doest mean "don't give a whoop" %hmm

[Jay Kay]

u should have been polite by giving them a change ... i mean a change of attitude ... that calling name is impolite ...
Hmmm, CMIIW but a black man calling another black man "nigga" is fine (like calling him brotha'), however a non black man calling a black man "nigga", now that's serious racism issue there... not to mention the caller needs to prepare for some serious hurting.

[jojox]

yeah...
no mang Jami, i was totally broke by then. God knows what if they got too close to you. Downtown Minneapolis may not be as rough as Bronx in NYC where you often hear sirene and gunshots. but still, i sort of was lost in the big city and it was not common when people get jumped by a bunch of motherf^^^^^s just like what happened to my roomie. If I replied politely they may think i was just wussy geek who got lost, and it would have been their perfect time to take advantage of me. But I too was outnumbered if i replied negatively. So I kept it calm and distanced myself from them. If you find yourself in a situation like that, keep the proximity at a level that you feel safe.
I wasnt offended by that name. I've been called with derogatory names before. I too used that N word, appropriately of course. You just dont call any black dude with that word. But my brother in law who is african-american also takes much liberty in calling me that name.

i think here's the dilemma that occurred when people try to guess where im from :
white dudes may think Im chinese or japanese, best effort they could : Filipino. No, they can barely tell if Im black or asian/oriental.
Black dudes may be 70% sure if Im black or asian from God knows where. :D
Malaysian often get their first time right that im : bumi putera indon. ::ngakak2::

so yeah. it's just funny how cultural thing can be.
@raido,
what i mean by that much polite expression is: i dont give a damn.

[mang jami]

wussy geek, eh? u a wussy geek? no way, u mischevous womanizer ... ::ngakak2::::ngakak2::::ngakak2::

[Raido]

If I replied politely they may think i was just wussy geek who got lost, and it would have been their perfect time to take advantage of me

so in da other word....u must act right time & right place depend on da situation hapenned right.......especialy when ur not at ur own home land

[jojox]

yeah raido,
i think there's always a bit of xenophobia on anybody. having said that, it's quite natural to feel somehow strange or even more : fear toward things that are so different . This is true when I shop in a mall and I could tell the shopattendants were rather reluctant to approach me. So, somehow with this unique skin of mine, i created a small amount of fear that takes quite subtle effect on them. Unless I showed friendly smilies, they probably would open a conversation. Other than that, they kept watching me in a distance. That kind of cultural gap, I think, we could very well use on the situation that I had.

every man is deemed to be a womanizer :P unless, of course there's been a confusion in their sexual orientation. (so yeah, im straight) :D

[phelangy]

i think here's the dilemma that occurred when people try to guess where im from :

so yeah. it's just funny how cultural thing can be.


yeah i get this a lot too.. especially those chinese singaporeans will think i'm either malay or filipino because of my skin, one teacher of mine even thought i'm a hawaiian! haha that one is really flattering. and some russian dude i bumped on italy asked if i'm a japanese.

hahah this race confusion thing is kinda cool!

[9thmalice_vex]

It's hard to tell us by our race, cause we're very similiar to our neighbors thailand, malaysia, phillipines, chinese......

makes foreigners go round figuring out where do we actually come from :D

[mang jami]

every man is deemed to be a womanizer :P unless, of course there's been a confusion in their sexual orientation. (so yeah, im straight) :D

so .... being straight should've justified a man's actions of being a womanizer, then ... ::hihi:: ::hihi:: ::hihi::



oh .... life is good ... when love is full ... ::hihi:: ::hihi:: ::hihi::

[jojox]

lol, now you feel me dawg. :D

does phelangy look japanese? hmm... i wonder if that's true.
i once thought she comes from somewhere off the eastern part of Indonesia, either the Mollucans or east timor.

[phelangy]

lol, now you feel me dawg. :D

does phelangy look japanese? hmm... i wonder if that's true.
i once thought she comes from somewhere off the eastern part of Indonesia, either the Mollucans or east timor.

really....? hahahah... you've seen my pic before yah (mod thread aight?)
umm, i'm actually a bataknese.. but well both of my parents are oftenly mistaken as either manadonese or javanese, eventhough they're purely bataknese (we aren't encouraged to marry other races).. plus i have cat eyes and i'm quite tall... so yeah that's about it. ::hihi::

[phelangy]

by the way, the game is really nice i can't even play it. only 2 steps at the 1st stage and that's it. dead. i suck at games alright. i can't figure out how to jump to the higher spear. help help

and the "DUH SAKIT" sound is really cute.

[Raido]

how if u press da jump button twice? maybe it could jump more higher
altough i'm not already play da game %heh....but maybe it works fella

[jojox]

@phelangy,
you ARE bataknese? get out here... for real? what's ur surname?
i grew up with a bunch of batak kids in my neighbourhood, so I knew I can tell if this guy or girl is batak. no telling how could i ever miss you. hmm....

[Raido]

so I knew I can tell if this guy or girl is batak. ....


u know it fella? how come? without meet da peeps? %hmm
or u just know it from it names?or maybe u already know it just read da post ;D

[phelangy]

@phelangy,
you ARE bataknese? get out here... for real? what's ur surname?
i grew up with a bunch of batak kids in my neighbourhood, so I knew I can tell if this guy or girl is batak. no telling how could i ever miss you. hmm....

sitorus... remember that commercial, sitorus.. joko.. acong.. huahauhauh i got teased a lot for that comm..

actually i look like one though, i have that high cheekbone just like bataknese usually has.. i guess i should include clearer pic in that mod thread ::oops::

[jojox]

there you go. That chickbone, clove-eyes, facial texture, and probably skin color are so unique.
That's how I could mostly tell which is which. No...it's not 100% always accurate. Just some ideas.

i remember that commercial, it was great. :D
anyway, talking bout diversity...has anyone ever heard or probably even have seen "SEPET" ?
It was made and shown in Malaysia couple yrs ago. I heard the director is great. She's been known to produce public commercials which reflect the diversity of races in malaysia. Couldn't remember her name,but her works seemed to be so efficient in communicating the message to the public.

[xnuckingfutsx]

I never heard about SEPET before? could you give me some more info about that?

[phelangy]

i just checked the website..it looks like a nice movie... besides, it has won many awards.. nice website too http://www.sepet.com.my/

anyway i always love interracial couples.. they usually make unique-looking babies.. haha

sepet is actually sipit in malay right?

[jojox]

yupe, that's what my malay member told me. Sepet means "sipit".
Been looking the trailer in youtube, but havent got any luck. I'd post it up when I get it, mr X.

So, u are in favor of interracial relationship eh, phelangy? That's good. But I heard it aint easy either, sometimes even more challenging than having relationship with ones of similar culture.
As for me, i could careless. :D

[Raido]

So, u are in favor of interracial relationship eh, phelangy? That's good. But I heard it aint easy either, sometimes even more challenging than having relationship with ones of similar culture.

well i gotta say it pretty interesting having interracial relaitonship......as u can say jox.....more chalenging especialy in da language they talk........i always wanna talk with another person in another culture...........right now i wanna talk face 2 face with a peeps who could talk in japannese and english...........(i wish.com ::bentar::)

[phelangy]

you can find the trailer on the website itself, mate.

hah. my parents will kill me if i marry other races. the tradition and all. as for me, i want to make my life easier. so ya.. still hunting on the right bataknese guy.. hahaha

[xnuckingfutsx]

thanks for the info guys :)

[jojox]

Yeah, Raido, I hear you dude. When I met a japanese here, it was no longer the language barrier that made it hard, but the culture itself; the way she thinks and does things, you know.

@ phelangy, dang....it's gotta be sux to be you. You know what it's like? It's like going to strip-club. You know you can watch anyone you want, but you just cant touch em. Unless, of course, you pay the price. All im saying is, maybe couple years down to road, when things look so ugly and still you havent found Mr.Right, I suppose you might want to consider other non-bataknese potentials like my other batak friends do. But, is it (to marry of batak race and no other) quite common in your paternal family? Dont mean to be rude, but is it only Sitorus who does that? :D

[dragunova]

Hey guys, long time no see, with the forum being down and all. I need help with some translations here. What's the Indonesian for:

[thegirlwhosoldtheworld]

phelangy, my friend is bataknese - javanese. her father is bataknese and her mother is javanese. but, i dunno about your family...
because my friend also doesn't use her dad's family name, i dunno why...

[dr3i]

I almost got into a fight with the my mom, dad, and grandma, cause the girl that I like is from different races & religion.. lol..

[jojox]

what the heck is wrong with you people, I aint hitting on her :P
fishy, washa-wishy... yeah, wutever dawg :P

no dr3i, I cant verify you from that avatar. No sir. I may be able to guesstimate if there's a better clarity on it. And no, it's not 100% foolproof, it just gives me some ideas, you dig?

i have no idea.. find the definition on answers.com, then maybe u could elaborate it easier in indo? just a suggestion.. http://www.answers.com/topic/milled-2


everyone here is too imaginative eh.. esp mang jami


jojox: conservative ones do that.. of course not just sitorus.. we're forbidden to marry the same margas. i dont know.. maybe later if i've found the one that i feel could be the father of my child, i might won't care of those stupid traditions if he's from other races.. so cliche yah. let's just see. i'll update you about that haha


thegirl: both of my parents are pure bataknese

[jojox]

so,....what's new this weekend?
anybody did something exciting?

my weekend started slow, same old habit kickin in. :(
weather has been nice though, cant complain much about it. They say it's probably the gorgeous autumn day, we might ever have upnorth this season. leaves started to turn red, wind
kicking in, clear skies and sunnier than usual, ya know. I might go get some outing snapshots,.....if Im not too drunk to get out. ::hihi::

[luics]

this weekend, the woman I've adore and had crush on back when in college is getting married... hope she's happy ever after...

[9thmalice_vex]

this weekend....I've got 4 academic tasks to do:
getting my english esay done,
getting my science lab report done,
making my BI book task in to a book,
and studying for math....inequalities.....sheesh.

[E121F]

at least you know it's gonna get done by the time

[Raido]

Hmm....mya weekend?...i dunno why....in da latest time....i never had a good sleep.....if i had a long time sleep.....probably over than 8 hour.....it feel weak
least than 6 hour......whoa.....so sleepy....pretty confuse.....and now i' still yawning all da time %sob

[9thmalice_vex]

today's test.....AAARGH.....sometimes |3x + 4| >5 could be VERY irritating.......::nangis3::

[E121F]

[Ireth Halliwell]

hello everyone... long time no see ;D

I've a translation work.. and it had been stuck for months T_T What should I do? The book is still thick enough to be finished.. *sigh*

[jojox]

take one day at a time to do that.
Dont procastinate. I got so much sh8 to do this week, and if I didnt procastinate, I coulda have 'em done yesterday and enjoy my cup of coffee now. Instead, look at me now. while procastination does backfire, I'd have to clean up my coffee spills on my laptop. >_< !!!

[E121F]

procastination gives you benefit right away
work hard gives you benefit later on lol

[9thmalice_vex]

procrastination, for me, is sometimes the way to go, but once you get to procrastinate big assignments, it really backfired........::nangis3::

oh, the test result came in today........6 out of 23 points.....aaagh, my math grade's on fire this term!! ::nangis3::

[E121F]

oh shi-
work hard work hard

Hello everyobody, I am a newbie :-D

"Lebaran" is rather a word used by Indonesian only. people usually say "Happy Eid!" (selamat Idul Fitri)

Idul Fitri = Eid ul-Fitr

[sweet dream]

ooo. i see..

I would agree with you that someone has to come up with a topic. Not me though. I can't think of anything at the moment. Unless you guys are interested in this topic " how do you shop for clothes?" I just submitted this topic under fashion category but the discussion there is in Indonesian. I suppose we could have the same discussion here if you guys don't mind.

thx

[ibunny20]

Or how about discussing watching movies?

- do movies help us improve our english or just add more confusion?
- can we really ignore the subtitles to be able to learn straight from the conversation in movies?

[E121F]

- add more confusion lol
I like interactive object. Movie is not the interactive media

- Subtitles usually help especially when the people talking have accents

Anyway, I currently watch Heroes now

I so want to watch episode 2

and I heard microsoft Indonesia coined this funny term for mouse (hardware input interface for computer) : Tetikus
I LOL'd

Huh? Really? Bah.. that's so hillarious :P I even sometimes laugh at people who uses Indonesian as their Language Preferences. ::grrr:: When I read the menus, if only there aren't any images as clue. I wouldn't know what the word meant. But hey, I think Indonesia adapts Malay a bit.. don't you think so?

[E121F]

Bahasa Indonesia origin is Malay :P

Just a bit of pronunciation detail here

Do you know native american/canadian speaker pronounce these words quite differently from what's written?
Toronto
Particle
Better
Totally

:D
a 100 who can tell me what's the difference

[Vallarrya]

Funny tounge twisters!! haha..
It'll help me to practice my pronounciation again hehe..

As for E121F's question.. haven't got any idea so far.. :D

[ibunny20]

yup, I like the one that starts with Peter Piper...

[E121F]

hehehe give it a try... what's the difference on pronounciation

[ibunny20]

These are the closest I could write as I am not sure how to write it phonetically.
Torono instead of Torontou (British)
Padicle instead of Paticle (British)
Beder instead of Bete (British)
Totly instead of Toutaly (British)

[E121F]

you are right on first guess
We somehow omit the second 't' appeared in the word and replace it with slight pause or give it less tension when we pronounce it

Toronto -> Toron'no
Particle ->Par'icle
Better -> Bet'er
Totally -> To'ally
Distorted -> Distor'ed
etc

come one.. someone start a topic :P
O, yeah... what language do use at KG here for the settings? Indonesian or English?
I chose English. Somewhat, it's easier to understand. And sometimes Indonesian is just too funny :P

don't worry, u're not the only one ...

i use english ... forr my default setting ...

[dr3i]

same here
I also use english as the default setting..
"sebelumnya diposting oleh" is kinda annoying for me..

[mang jami]

yup ...

put urself in my boots ... i used to do that kind of work everyday .... checking cell phones menu in indonesia (i worked for world's largest cell phone vendor) and making corrections on "strange bahasa indonesia translations" .... on daily basis ...

i think i have enough of those strange translations ... and i don't want to experience that in KG ::ngakak2::::ngakak2::::ngakak2::

[dr3i]

uh.. i also have that kind of experience.. when my friend installed indonesian languange in my windows..
it's very annoying.. "antar muka" and such... ::grrr::

[9thmalice_vex]

wow, whatever is this Indonesian language installed on your computer? I am curious as to what kinds of 'strange translations' look like.

[dr3i]

lol.. i forgot, but i guess its this one, languange interface pack..
the minute he change it, i forced him to change it back to english.. lol..
here's the link for it if ur curious

[MonMin]

I'm not okay - my chemical romance

[mang jami]

oh ... that's windows starter edition ... it comes in bahasa indonesia ...

well .... to be honest, it's true that the translation of interface is "antarmuka", but it may seem strange to us as we aren't used to it ...

[jojox]

you know what i wonder tho Mang Jami?
do you use english or any foreign language other than Indonesian/Javanese at home too?
I mean, wouldnt it be an advantage for your kidz to learn foreign language at their early age?

[dr3i]

well .... to be honest, it's true that the translation of interface is "antarmuka", but it may seem strange to us as we aren't used to it ...

oh ... that's windows starter edition ... it comes in bahasa indonesia ...

well .... to be honest, it's true that the translation of interface is "antarmuka", but it may seem strange to us as we aren't used to it ...
as well as 'perangkat lunak', 'perangkat keras', and 'tetikus'

computer language when translated into Indonesia, seems abit too corny for me, I don't know why
*agree, try to translate "harddisk and motherboard" to indonesian ::hihi::

"piring keras" and "papan ibu/induk"?

do you use english or any foreign language other than Indonesian/Javanese at home too?

well, jok ... i'm planning on doing that ...

as for harddisk, actually it can be translated the same as compact disc, which is "cakram padat" ... similar stuffs, different storage capacities ... but normally we don't need to translate terms people already familiar with ...

i once read Corel Draw manual (published by Elex Media Computindo around the 90's, the title was Corel Draw for Dummies) translation, and i was sure that the translator was not computer literate ... so the translation was awfully terrible ...

it also happened to Dan Brown's translation of Digital Fortress ... some of the translations are irrelevant ... and i found it hard to read the indonesian version ...

[dr3i]

it also happened to Dan Brown's translation of Digital Fortress ... some of the translations are irrelevant ... and i found it hard to read the indonesian version ...

I was better off reading the original one rather than the translated one, it makes more sense to me :)

screw this... I got assignment due in 48 hours and I haven't tried anything yet
oh noez ;;

[Miss L]

It seems like now is a busy time for most people here. I have to do many things in the same time with a short deadline:
- Starting research on next Monday but I must do shitty bureaucration from the institution e.g. letters, which I cannot predict when they will be ready.
- Writing a publication for international congress, which I just know that the deadline is tomorrow!
- Preparing an oral comprehensive test, in the meantime I have to confirm three representative supervisors for that, and aslso with the fixed schedule.
- Preparing my exit permits e.g. passport etc. for next month

Ufff - I forgot to have my lunch today :-(

[dr3i]

im supposed to be busy also..
but.. all the teacher in my department are all laid back..
like, just now.. he teaches in a quite different way.. he always came half an hour late then he teaches us about technology management
at some chapter.. he said
teacher bryan : "it's important for it to.. "
teacher bryan : "... ah.. i forgot.."
teacher bryan : "nevermind then, not that important.."

after one hour (we're supposed to study for three hours straight) he said
teacher bryan : "we'll have a break..."
teacher bryan : "...for one week... cya guys next week..."

almost all the teacher in techno. management class are like that..

[BaDe]

hi...can i join you guys??

hahah good luck then E121F :) hope you can work it in times :D

[E121F]

hahaha screw it, I didn't implement few features
it's too fast doing everything < 24 hrs

[mang jami]

it's good .... pushing urself to the limit ...

u'll end up knowing how far u can go ...

good luck anyway ...

[E121F]

for the whole 1+ freaking years?
ya rly... I don't see the difference taking the course vs buy the book + learn by yourself


...
except I have to pay for the tuition fee of course

[xnuckingfutsx]

but then again, you'll be receiving a certificate from the course, i guess that's why we bothered to be in a school/course, so we could get a certificate :P

[E121F]

It's a university =.=
not a place for training or something similar to that

I bet taking course (as in taking couse at LIA / EF in Jakarta) is much much easier

[mang jami]

it's all the same ... what people are after is its diploma ....

at least pretty much the same everywhere ...

[E121F]

People taking diploma to be a more practical worker

Those who lining up on Bachelor/Master/PhD are those who'll go to "research" or "study" track
University graduates are Bachelor/Master

College usually offers Diploma

[Ireth Halliwell]

but I graduated and I've got the diploma, still.. I think I need the bachelor too..

[E121F]

My opinion : take whatever you need for the job you want

For now, I don't see the advantage taking master degree if I want to work. I may not taking master soon after I graduate. People these days need more experienced people rather than highly knowledgeable people. One side is the ones that have proven ability, and the other side it's still unknown.

[Miss L]

People these days need more experienced people rather than highly knowledgeable people.
This situation is vice versa when you work as academician in university. Students demand more-educated people, at least the ones with Master Degree ;-)

[browniemania]

This situation is vice versa when you work as academician in university. Students demand more-educated people, at least the ones with Master Degree ;-)

I'll second that. Plus IMHO, the necessity of taking master/any kind of post graduate degree depends on where you work. E.G. should you work as government employee, having a high(er) degree will make a significant difference for career development (and the salary of course :P).
There are also some private companies who demand high qualifications (incl.master degree) in their particular job vacancy (usually managerial position or higher).

However I know some people who only graduated from Diploma (DIII) who earn very well as they work in foreign company. As far as I know they even have more lucrative income than some graduates guys..

[jojox]

it's good .... pushing urself to the limit ...

u'll end up knowing how far u can go ...

i'd cheer this. nuff said.

It's not about GRE that thrills my throat when we talk 'bout graduate school, it's just that conscience of knowing how high can I go. However, being a nearly fresh graduate, I ought to know what sort of expertise that is blatantly and most immediately needed in the jobsite. So to speak, I intend to get some oversight of that after I pass the door, ya know what im sayin?
but here's the thing that i fear most, that one could loose his/her cognitive skills once he/she feels much apt and find an economical comfort from work. That for some, is quite a bargain.

Constantly studying, and gaining more knowledge and skill are compulsory when a person wants to advance in life. However IMHO, some people may get a little bit misguided when thinking that high degree is some kind of magic wand to get "perfect" job and salary.

I know that some people tend to lose interest in pursuing higher degree (or even attending short courses) once she/he is well settled and has "satisfying" income. In the end, it all comes back to the person. If they are strong-willed enough, they'll overcome anything so that they can continue studying.
If not, meeting the endless dead lines, raising the kids, consecutive out-of-town assignments, etc.etc (you name it) will be sufficient enough as the reasons why they don't do the upgrading. And last but not least..let's not forget the financial factor. You can never say attending Post Graduate program is not expensive (unless you're lucky enough to get 100% scholarship), especially in Indonesia. Even the extension program for the DIII holders doesn't come cheap..

yup. Education is a not come free. Higher education will not guarantee you to get "perfect" job and salary.
Some people need to get their master diploma but not for others. I guess it depends on the requirements of your company or job.

Exactly, studying is not just walking in the evening. You need reason to do that.
So, I asked myself : how master degree help me increase the likelihood I get a better job/position in a company? I don't seem to be able to give a good answer.

I'll see what company requires me to have. If they really NEED me to have the skill of post graduate students, then I have a reason to continue my study.
stronger reason -> stronger commitment doing something

This 70-80% of my life is spent for study without knowing how would they be useful for my practical purpose. And it was not an easy road. If I spend more of my time for this and only get miniscule amount of gain. I'll probably gonna regret it.

Siemens : sure

[9thmalice_vex]

well, I already made a resolve to get a job that I like (possibly my vocation) regardless of the salary...it's not actually all about being "financially secure", y'know....It's all about loving your work, because if ya dont, then you'd regret for the rest of your life, get the point?

so now I've started to make decisions on which job suits me the best...better than preparing it years later...

I hate interviews T_T

'Cos I got really traumatic with interviews. Especially the interview when I entered university --" *curse those seniors of mine*

[lovelezarcher]

Agree. Interview sucks.
Big time!
Especially one of those group interview where everyone is trying to out do each other by blabbing continuously abt how good they are,... as if they're trying to say 'pick me! pick me!'
But then again,. its a good learning experience,..:-)

[E121F]

So should we get provoked to "pick me! pick me!" voice?

[mang jami]

no point of that ...

interview is a matter of self promotion .. it only requires the ability of selling urself ...

as a matter of fact, i love interview ... it shows how good u can communicate verbally vis a vis ... moreover, u can also explore (and exploit) the one u're having interview with ...

[E121F]

It seems interview = chatting to you ;D

[9thmalice_vex]

that's just the same as a normal internet chatting conversation ;D

[MonMin]

and.. have you ever played the wicked..? it's so f*ckin interestin'.. gee! I can't get it out of my head.. >.< helpp mee... >.<

[jojox]

I could line with mang Jami. In some sense, interview is one of the most effective way to present our qualities; communication skills, per se.
I should get some examples of job interview questions so we can practice on em, get some input, and learn how we can improve our interview skills.

be right back...

[9thmalice_vex]

argh, for one thing, I suck at eye contact even though people say to me i've improved. I mean, sometimes you get that much nervous you didn't realize that you're looking on the floor rather than the interviewer.

Sorry, curhat dikit yah!

Have any of you guys ever felt that all you have studied in college is for naught?

I'm currently a chemical engineering student and I'm almost halfway in my college years but to tell you guys the truth, I'm not really interested in all these stuff. Sure, I'm a pretty decent learner and my grades are above average but I don't take pride in those. To be really honest, I've always liked to cook since I was a young kid and my cooking skills have improved over the years. I guess I want to open my own restaurant. I was still unsure though whether I'm skilled enough or not for that so one day, I asked my mum and sis to distribute my ace-dish: spaghetti ala bolognaise, to their friends to sample and the result... I was pleasantly surprised when the response was positive. I guess I might be getting on something here. I have not really given any thought sto what I want to be or what I want to do later in my life until this event. Being a professional cook doesn't sound really bad after all.

Alas, cooking is like 180 degree different than chemical engineering. I suppose I've arrived at a crossroad in my life. Should I continue this mundane existence of life or should I really do something radical here?

Once I felt the same way..as If what I've studied in university means almost naught in job field. Actually not only what I've learned in college level, but also what I had to go through during the elementary, junior and high school. For instance, I didn't see how the knowledge of the cilliata reproduction system will help me raising my salary :P But then one of my colleague told me one thing that made sense to me : it's the processing of getting the knowledge and the science that matters : in the end it builds the formation of the systematic and our logic thinking. The way you process the data into paper and reports, the way we arrange information in our brain when answering the problems in exams. Somehow it was a consolation to me ; my years in university weren't completely wasted.

About your "mundane" existence, izlude. It all depends on you. I dunno your situation. Are you 100% depending on your parents financially and morally (like most kids in Indonesia)..If so, are they the type of parents who are supportive to their offspring no matter what? Or can you make it on your own should they decide not to support you anymore. Are you willing to take a risk, to do whatever it takes, forsaking all others to pursue your dream.
It’s just my two cents…

Good point browniemania, but I wish I could custom-weigh every subject I learned in elementary, junior high/senior high so that I could care less about troublesome subject and concentrate on the subject I really want to learn

[9thmalice_vex]

applying the skills used n other subjects wouldn't hurt, as brownie said.
dont let your years of education down the dran just like that......

Hmm that's weird...
I always thought using it as one country's ownership/property rather than properties of the products

well, I think you can use it either way depending on the context you're using

"Indonesia's Commodities" is refer 2 the commedities belongs 2 Indonesia . .

"Indonesian Commedities" is refer 2 the commedities that comes from Indonesia,
4 example "american people", it means people from america . .

kind'a hard to explain, ehehu2 . .

I'm agree with E121F . .

hello......anybody home?

[E121F]

sup man?


hehehe

[xnuckingfutsx]

just passing by ;D

[9thmalice_vex]

ok, we NEED a topic now......any suggestions?

EDIT: forget that, football slash is strangely highly addictive......
maybe xnuckingfutsx would agree.

[E121F]

what is football slash?

[xnuckingfutsx]

maybe xnuckingfutsx would agree.

honestly, i'm not really into football slash, though i read it sometimes, esp. if it was AU fic, i don't find footballers groping in the shower room very umm... appealing ::oops::

i'd prefer band slash, and i do admit that i write slashy band fic (esp. simple plan), it's fun, but too bad, i can't post it in cerpen forum, because it was waaaaayyy too slashy ::hihi::

what is football slash?

check this site if you wanna know :D

OHSHI- I'm turning gay.




j/k
sorry, that's not my hobby lulz

[xnuckingfutsx]

you can't be gay just because you're reading slash :P

[jojox]

what's that? a journal? >_<
i hate reading. i dont think guys should read.

[xnuckingfutsx]

it's a community :D

i don't like reading something that i don't like ;D

[angel.with.sin]

now I get it. :D
first I thought it's a true story;D

[browniemania]

Guys, I've checked the site and I still don't get it. (*lemot mode ON*)

What is football slash's definition.

Is it footballers' romantic moment or what?

[xnuckingfutsx]

@angel: well, if it's a true story then it won't become a slash, it's true, i mean, people tend to stop making slashy stories of a celebrity when he/she turns out to be gay ;D

@brownie: in general, it's a fiction story of some footballer having "an affair" with another footballer ;)

[9thmalice_vex]

basically, hes right. most slashing is mostly done by girls, as they have more imagination to fantasize their favorite football players into all sorts of drama......one common example is john terry/frank lampard....

[angel.with.sin]

seriously I just known about this football slash today from the link that xnuckingfutsx gave.

is there any hollywood slash? ;D;D

[xnuckingfutsx]

@9thmalice: so you've read john terry/frank lampard's one rite?

@angel: which hollywood celeb? there are a lot of pairings if you want ;D

[9thmalice_vex]

xnuckingfutsx: yeah, and sometimes they can be a bit too....explicit......if you know what i mean.

[xnuckingfutsx]

hehe, i know...

btw, is there anyone here who wants to read one of my slashy story ;p

[mang jami]

well, certainly i love reading ... even slashy stories ...

so, why don't u share??? ::oops:: ::oops:: ::oops::

[xnuckingfutsx]

wow, mang jami, you took me by surprise there ;p

PMed me if you want :)

[mang jami]

what's the use of having an open forum if we can't share ... even sharing stories when your wife ran off with your best friend and you miss him ... ::hihi:: ::hihi:: ::hihi::

it surely is going to be the story of the year ... even worth producing a sinetron (electronic cinema) ... with the same title ...


::unggg:: ::unggg:: ::unggg::

[xnuckingfutsx]

sharing it? here? nah... there are some parts of it that was too explicit, hahaha... that's why I rated it as NC-17 ;p

btw, I quoted my sig from an old country song, and the truth is I've never even heard the song, I read it on a slashy story (no surprise there, huh ;D) somewhere on the net, and when I read it, I couldn't stop laughing, and I thought, hey, that would be a nice sentence for my KG's siggy ;p

[jojox]

hmm.. that's what i t'wat... I thought i've heard that phrase before. hmm.

[xnuckingfutsx]

yeah,

country songs sometimes pictured some blatant gay feeling, but they hid it as a male bonding kind of way... ah, gotta love them ;)

[jojox]

hmm.... never thought of that ....that way. ::grin::

so....what do they actually mean when they yodel?
is that some sort of code, a relieving expression, or deliberation of some chemical/biological substance in a particular time? %hmm

[yannecantik]

I clicked on the link and didn't know what to make up the page in front of me.

I have better things to do, anyway :D

[browniemania]

yeah,

country songs sometimes pictured some blatant gay feeling, but they hid it as a male bonding kind of way... ah, gotta love them ;)

Hmm. Who knows? Anne Proulx might have been inspired by country songs before she composed 'Brokeback Mountain' ;P
