Several Movie Lines I've Watched Lately
(since its from my memory, i dont think its correct word 4 word..)
Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE*
->this is the classic P&P.. the 6hour long miniseries, not the remake played by keira knightley.. speaking of the beautiful goddess keira.. she finally got topless on "Domino".. hooraay... :p ups, back to the movie lines...
Jane: Dearest lizzie, be serious... How long have you loved him?
Elizabeth: It has been coming on so gradually, I hardly know. But I believe.. It must have been from my first seeing of his beautiful grounds (house/land) at Pemberley (a town).
HITCH:
Do not lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms you love. If you must steal, steal from the bad. If you must cheat, then cheat death. And if you must drink, only drink in the moments that take your breath away.
AFTER THE SUNSET
[Max finds a "bug" planted by FBI agent Stan and with his girlfriend teases him]
(Knock knock)
Max: get the door, honey.. i wonder who'd knock at this hour..?
Wife: dats my special surprise for u..
Max: what surprise?
Wife: u kno... a girl.. to help u "warm up"
Stan:(listening from his hotel bathroom, while drinking champagne) ooh u lucky dawg...
Max: do I know her?
Wife: yes, u do..
Max: who is she..?
Stan: yeah, who is she? (chuckling to himself)
Wife: its.... Staaan's Mom!
Stan: (shocked) spits out his drink..
MYSTIC RIVER
"I sometimes wonder if this life is real.. If we're really adults.. Sometimes I think that Im still that 10 year old boy and this is just a dream in my sleep of how we'd turn out as adults"
DREAMER
Damn u Dakota Fanning... u got me choking almost in tears...
"You are a champion. When you ran, the ground shook, the sky opened, mere mortals parted. The way of victory. And you meet your owner in the winner circle. Where he put a blanket of flower on your back."

Resto/Cafe and Book Idea
The last few weeks of my boring life I rediscovered something... My head used to be filled with so many ideas and i would fill my "book of ideas" daily.. but ever since the mid-development stage of Talentum, my head blocked out any ideas i had as i was too concerned with deadlines and things not going as planned..
now that im free (wont be long though), ideas start popping in my head again.. like a really cool restaurant concept.. or a book idea.. or a special vehicle safety equipment.. i just thought of the resto idea yesterday and i gotta say dat was a special "bright-light" day.. the idea was so simple and just plain cool +grin+.. so any1 wanna open a resto/cafe, gimme a shout.. i'll share my idea n we can b business partners hehe ;p
another idea was about a book. i havent quite polished the concept, so i dunno whether it should b a trilogy or just one giant book.. when this idea popped, my 1st instinct were:
- find a writing partner.. at least some1 that knows how 2write damn well better than me..
- find a publisher n share my idea without it being stolen..
- if i wanted to write a trilogy, how wud i copyright the 2nd n 3rd book b4 it was written.. how do u copyright a title b4 it is written..
- implementation..
i got this book idea around 9pm n got xcited.. so i called and sms-ed lots of people in my phonebook.. even those i rarely called.. i kno when calling an old friend ur supposed to sidetalk first.. hello, how r u.. blablabla... but i cudnt helpit! so i called people n said "hey.. this is api... how r u doin..?" "oh im fine.. how r u..?" and i'd answer "im fine.. btw, do u like to write, plan to write or is currently writing a book?" hehehe... anywho... i found a co-writer hehehe... lets get ready 2work, ndin! :p

My life, currently, is BOOORIIIING.......!!!
Got no activities..
When Avevo started, there were so many things to do.. Make an account, finish administrative work, have regular meetings, finding employees, and so on.. and so on..
But now... My company's main product (Talentum) is completed and is now in the marketing/selling stage.. When the product was being developed, I would busy myself by reading designs, read codes, help bugfixing, and terrorize the programmer(s) with deadlines hehehe...
Now its in the marketing stage and I have little competence in that field. Besides, Avevo already have marketers that make the phone calls, setup meetings, etc.. And thanks to my position in Avevo, I am only allowed to go to meetings with potential clients if the person we're gonna meet is mid/upper management.. AND EVEN THEN I do almost nothing in those meetings.. Either the marketing or COO does the presentation and answer questions.. My role is wear a suit and tie with polished shoes, enter the room, shake hands, trade business cards, and sit pretty.. and maybe when im lucky i can answer one or two technical questions that the marketing might not be able to answer..
Avevo now have 4 products:
1, Talentum v1. status: completed
2. Banking Money Changer apps. status: completed
3. E-commerce (cant say wat it is.. still secret :p). status: in development*
4. Mobile apps. status: 70% complete**
* The e-commerce application already has a PM and programmers.. so I cant meddle n put direct pressure on the programmers.. huhuhuhu :'(
** The mobile apps also already has a team of developers n d product is almost completed.. The other 30% is from the business and legal activities.
So now what are my activities? Well now I just make phone calls and meet people, go to seminars, join organizations, etc... to widen my connections.. Those activities are fun.. I really enjoy them.. But they take so little of my time to do..
Until about a couple of weeks ago, I was swamped with activities.. now, 70% of the time I'm idle.. and I just cant stand it!

Its been 2 YEARS...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
We started going steady on February 29, 2004.. Which means Nana&I celebrate our anniversary every 4 years hehehe...
This year, we celebrated it playing bowling hehe..
Yeah I know... not romantic nor lavish.. but hey, gimme a break.. quite low on cash rite now hehehe...
So I picked her up @her office @Mandiri SCBD.. got there @5.15pm (about 15mnts late :p).. we then had dinner.. I had the Fried Rice (rily good) n Nana had Fried Bihun(wats d english for bihun??).. She said the bihun was good.. I dont rily enjoy bihun so i tot it was ok..
I opted for bowling @Pasar Festival since I havent played there yet, but she wanted 2try out the alley in AutoMall SCBD. The game is quite cheap.. only IDR10k per game per person.. We booked a lane for an hour.. My game was really off since i havent played in over a year.. My first game was a pathetic 87.. the second game was also a pathetic 90.. the third game i was on fire. on my 5th throw, my score was 96.. but then our hour was up and we had to stop.. and Nana's score..? huehehehe..... its to pathetic to be put on this blog +rotfl+
It was late and tommorow (well, today) is a working day so i took her back home.. I was so sleepy that nite... I think bcoz i slept only 4hours between 2 buzy days... So after dropping her off her house, get this.... I fell asleep on the wheel... not in a short distance, but in the "Dalam Kota" freeway from Kuningan till Slipi... dats like more than 5km of me driving in my sleep at over 100kph! I woke up when my feet unintentionally slammed the gas, igniting the "kick down" effect of my A/T Corolla and d car went up to 14okph... when I opened my eyes, i was on a curve, passing (really fast) a truck on my left.. damn it was scary...
My eyelids were opened wide after that jolt of realization that ive been speeding on a freeway asleep! but only about 15mnts... hehehe... after i got off the freeway, i started falling asleep again thou i didnt fall asleep again till i got home hehehe...
