Susahnya belajar HTML

Pengalaman lucu-lucu menegangkan kalo belum jago udah sok tau mau pake HTML...

Liat deh halaman jurnal gue, tab edit dan delete entry-nya lenyap entah kemana, gara-2 sok tau mau pake background image tapi rumus html-nya ada yang salah dan gue ngga tau cara ngebenerinnya.. musti belajar lagi sama yg udah jago.. bisa ngga yaa diubah lagi.. biarpun 'the damage has been done??'

Padahal gue pernah punya another kesalahan lumayan fatal sekitar minggu lalu.. tapi dasar gue kagak kapok-2.. biarin deh, orang naek sepeda juga jarang yang langsung bisa, pasti pake acara jatoh dulu..

Ceritanya waktu itu gue mau gaya di head title gue Bring you to the other world pake marquee.. itu lho, biar tulisannya bisa scrolling dari kanan ke kiri... setelah gue ketik magic word html.. jreng..jreeenggg... satu halaman multiply jadi scrolling.. heheee.. dan gue kan ngga mau nyengsarain pembaca setia gue yang sudah lelah menunggu jurnal gue berikutnya.... ntar temen-2 gue jadi pada jereng semua...
Setelah keringetan lumayan beberapa saat, dapetlah cara biar halaman multiply gue kagak ganjen lagi...

hhgghhhhh.... html...html....
kenapa musti ribet sih nulis ajaaa???

Alhamdulillah pagi ini journal gue udah beres... thanks buat Agung yang udah ngasi tau cara ngebenerinnya...

This is a sad story about a girl named Wati.

She's only 15 years old. Living in a small village called Pandanaran in a small town called Kalibening, Banjarnegara, Central Java, Indonesia.
She travelled to Jakarta and lived with my family to help us do some houseworks as a maid with another maid named Sarni. She really enjoyed working and she's really a personality with her helping hand and most of her works she done it neatly..

One day, my mom ask her whether she wants to continue studying at school. Shyly she replied,"I'd love to..!" and since then she asked lot more question and ask me for advices.
I told her that it would be great if she still has an eagerness to learn new things, makes new friends and widen her knowledge about anything that she can learn at school. She can be anything she wants like a store keeper or waitress or even a female army/police. She smiles widely and I feel much more confident of her choice and I can see in her eyes that she really mean it.

Searching for a school to accept her is not as easy as it seems (because she already 2 years behind), and when finally my dad find it, he himself registered her and take some forms to be filled up later on.

And this is the part where this story actually begin.
She left her Elementary School Certificate back home, so she has to go back to her village to get it and get back soon before school starts.

There she goes, with a smiles in her eyes and a brighter future in her hand, she went back to her small village only to take her Elementary School Certificate.
Sadly, her parents prohibited her to go back to school and to my house. She was forced only to work and her parents doesn't want to understand that she just beginning to pursue her dreams, to make their life more descent, to make them proud of herself!
She also forced to (this is what I really pissed off about) get married with someone she doesn't know!! For God sake!! she's only fifteen!!

Then, she cries... maybe it because she feel failed going to her new school, fail to makes new friends, fail to make herself smarter, fail to become 'someone', and she also lost her future or she cries it just because she doen't have anything to wear since she left all of her cloth...

and I started to cry..
deep inside my heart and I begin to questioning myself....
Are all parents really knowing what's the best for their childrens?
and before I realise and finding the answer.. I'd lost her..

Mas Komar (nama panggung: Raju Irama)

25.08.04
Kalau Rhoma Irama baca tulisan ini, pasti dia akan bangga karena dia seperti menemukan anak yang hilang..

Komaruddin, begitu nama aslinya, jabatan utamanya adalah security Menara Kebon Sirih, tempat gue berkantor.. pada acara tenant gathering tujuh belasan kemaren, kita semua dibuat amazed dengan suara mas Komar yang nge-plek banget kayak Rhoma Irama, bukan niru-niru, tapi emang samaa persis..siss..sissshhhh... brisik amat sih?

Berkat suara emasnya itu, dia meraih juara 3 lomba karaoki antar tenant pas agustusan kemaren.. berarti satu gedung gue ini dia juara 3 dengan lagu Rhoma Irama yang gue sendiri ngga jelas apa judulnya.. (lha trus dari mana lu tau itu lagunya Rhoma? yaaa... soalnya suaranya dia kayak Rhoma.. udah deh jangan cerewet..)
Trus waktu gathering penyerahan hadiah, lagi-lagi mas Komar menyumbangkan suara emas-nya dengan lagu dangdut pilihannya.. (ngga tau juga judulnya apaan..)

Temen gue Sisil sangat terinspirasi waktu mas komar nyanyi lagunya Slam penyanyi malaysia (yang ini bukan lagu dangdut, jadi gue tau...) "Gerimis Mengundang".. kusangkakaaaannnn... panasss berpanjangaaaannnnn.... sampe minjem kaset yang udah taun jebot ke temen gue, demi menghapal lagu tersebut buat lomba karaoki internal di kantor gue.. untungnyaaa.. tape kantor gue rusak.. coba kalo ngga... (apa coba?? taukk deh..)

Secara fisik, jangan pernah ngebayangin mas Komar seperti Rhoma Irama... jauuuhhh... lebih oke kemana tauk.. dengan celana cutbrai andalannya, mas Komar sangat ideal untuk bisa tampil bahkan di KDI sekalipun! Tinggi sekitar 170, badan proporsional, kulit putih, tapi yang agak mengganggu ya itu tadi.. kostumnya yang selalu "ready to show", lengkap dengan payet-payet emas dan tali-tali gantung seperti korden serta warna yang kinclong (merah dangdut, ijo dangdut, kuning dangdut, ungu dangdut dan warna dangdut lainnya -beberapa warna terakhir memang hiperbola:red-).. Gosipnya sih, mas Komar ini sering ditanggep buat acara dangdutan dan kawinan beserta orgen tunggal.. hhmmm.. pantesshhhh...

Anyway, cukuplah cerita tentang mas Raju alias Komaruddin, seperti biasa, pagi ini dia menunaikan tugasnya untuk meng-greet karyawan dan karyawati yang mau kerja.. coba deh mulai sekarang perhatiin satpam-satpam yang jaga gedung di kantor loe... syapa tau dibalik senyum manis itu ada bakat-bakat terpendam yang dirahasiakan

Chocolate

Gue tanya sekarang, cewek mana yang ngga demen coklat?? ada pro kontra seputar coklat, ada yang bilang coklat tuh bikin muka jadi jerawatan, bikin badan jadi gendut, tapi ada juga yang bilang coklat bisa bikin ngobatin dikit kalo lagi pusing, bikin tambah semangat kalo mau 'gituan' heheee.. pantesan jadi awet muda yaa??

Menurut loe-2 pade, apa sih coklat yang paling enak? bisa diliat dari jenis, merek, atau bisa juga liat dari bentuk tampilannya doang..(yang satu ini biasanya kita sayang buat makannya.. contoh: Cadbury Easter Edition bentuknya macem-2 kelinci..)
Sebut deh.. Droste, Baci, Ferrero Rocher, Ritter, Hershey, Toblerone, Silver Queen, Delfi, Cadbury, Van Houten, Welco atau coklat ayam? Belum lagi chocolate bars such as Beng Beng, Top, Snickers, Time Out, Mars, Crunchy, dan masih banyak lagi..

Kira-2 setahun lalu, di Jakarta ada Chocolate Exhibition, dan pesertanya selain produsen-2 coklat terkemuka, juga dari tukang-2 kue se-Indonesia, bahkan di situ ada mesin yang bisa langsung bikin chocolate bars, jadi dari wafer (waktu itu demonya wafer Tango.. brapa lapis??? RATUSAAANNN...) trus ada rolling ban-nya gitu, nanti wafernya langsung jalan, disirem coklat, dikeringin, trus jadi dehhh.. segitu gampangnya yaa.. trus di stand Tulip, ada vas panjang dan gede gitu, tiap dituang coklat (chips/coin), orang-orang berebutan sampe jatoh-2 (ya orangnya, ya coklatnya..) and you know laahhh.. orang Indonesia realllyy loveeesss gratisan things, tapi yang paling spektakuler waktu itu, ada air mancur dari coklat.. hueheheeee.. (Damn..! I miss it so bad!).. kita harus antri, trus dikasi sepotong cookie, ngiterin air mancur sambil nyoel coklatnya dikiit.. beruntunglah sebelum itu gue beli cake tiramisu yang pake gelas.. trus apa dong gunanya gelas kalo ngga buat nampung..heheheeee...

So.. chocolate lover...
kalo ada yang bilang coklat tuh bikin gendut... iya-in ajaaa..
emang benerrr sihhh!!

Chupa Chups Bali

For most people, Bali's most favorite place on earth.. tapi mungkin ngga berlaku buat gue, selain memang Bali adalah tanah leluhur gue, liburan di Bali adalah pergi berkunjung ke rumah sodara-sodara, nyekar ke makam kakiang (kakek:bahasa Indonesia) di Singaraja, dan yang paling penting: makan nasi campur Bali.. di wardani, satria atau bahkan di warung made yang gue sendiri males soalnya mehi jembrewski dengan kualitas yang ngga jauh beda sama di wardani atau satria...

Bali ngga berubah banyak, you can also feel something quite strange when you passing through Jalan Legian at Sari Club ex Bali's blast.. and also Paddy's which is now already open for public again, 7 hours a day from 4 p.m till 11 p.m..

I've a story about Bali Chupa Chups, you know, the world's favourite lollipops, I loveeee Chupa Chups soooo much, and I noticed differences between Chupa Chups in Jakarta, and Chupa Chups in Bali.. believe me! Even they have same size and name, they're totally different! Bali's Chupa Chups was made in Mexico, and the taste is more 'magtegh', creamy milk, tasty coffee and strawberry.. can't compare to Chupa Chups Jakarta..
so, next time when you in Bali, don't forget to buy me lots of Chupa Chups..bener loohhhh... titiiiiipppp....!!!!

20.08.04
HOREEEE!!!!!
gue udah nemu tempat beli Chupa Chups Baliii....
dimanaaa??
adddaaaa.. ajjaaaahhhhh....

06.09.04
gue udah liat web site Chupa Chups dan gue baru menyadari ternyata Chupa Chups itu dibuat di beberapa negara, seperti Germany, Rusia, Spain, Japan, Mexico and Australia.. As far as I know, most Chupa Chups sold in Jakarta was made in Australia, and the one that I found in Bali, was made in Mexico..
Later on, I found another Chupa Chups, made in Spain.. and they're all taste alike but different. I just knew the differences. I still sucked my Chupa Chups now, the one was made in Spain, it tasted lighter than was made in Mexico. Try it yourself.. and experience any kind of flavors of Chupa Chups!

Makan-Pagi-a.k.a-Sarapan-a.k.a-Breakfast

Apa sih yang kita makan tiap pagi?

Mulai dari makanan rumah (nasi, lengkap dengan sayur mayur dan lauk pauk), mie (atau bihun, kwetiau) rebus, gorengan (tempe, tahu, bakwan), sampe kue-kue manis dan juice buat yang lagi diet..

Pernah kepikir ngga? jam brapa ya kira-2 tukang jualannya nyiapin semuanya? dari malem (buat kue, suwiran ayam di tukang mie, nasi) atau pagi (goreng tempe, nyiapin gerobak)? selama ini sih kita taunya tinggal mesen, nunggu dibikinin, trus bungkussss...!
Coba deh kalo kita yang jadi abangnya..
Pernah gue ikut mbak gue jualan bakpau mini di kota wisata, buseeetttt.. jam 7 pagi udah musti standby di stand-nya.. berarti siap-siap udah dari malemnya kaannn... pake acara nginep di Cibubur segala, ngga malem mingguan (soalnya musti mlastikin per 6 biji, packing per dus, taruh di plastik guede yg kaya trolley biar gampang dikukus paginya..hgghhh...) udah gitu dapet stand yang ngga menguntungkan, pas kena matahari pagi.. well, itung-itung bejemur kayak waktu masih bayi lagi dah..
Tapi parahnya ya itu.. dibanding jualannya, gue lebih tertarik sama jualannya orang lain, lirik kiri lirik kanan semua makanannya oke, sambil ngejagain 'warung', boleh dong pergi bentar buat beli dim sum ceker di stand sebelah... ngga penting lagi deh bakpau mini kejual berapa biji..

Anyway, semua orang pasti setuju kalo makan pagi tuh bermanfaat banget buat ngejalanin kegiatan kita sepanjang hari.. Biar otak bekerja dengan lebih baik, kita perlu energi buat bikin otak kita jadi lebih kreatif, kalo perut keroncongan, hasilnya ngga akan maksimal.. tapi buat gue sih, biar tiap pagi sarapan, tetep aja jam 10 perut udah minta diisi lagi...
jadi musti ada makanan ekstra tiap pagi buat ngantisipasi yang jam 10 itu... atau cemilan yang lumayan ngenyangin, seperti mie rebus, pastel, lontong..heheeee... ngemil kok ngemil ayam goreng...??
