It's been months till I went swimming again.
Hard to endure a sport activity without a partner :p
Felt like a mermaid, though a drunken one.
Got alot of water filled my ears.
Salah satu hari dr program SEVEN :) I love it the most.

coraline
I watched this movie twice. Means that I like it. Not to say that this movie got 4 thumbs up like Finding Nemo, UP!, Wall-E, Spirited Away have.
It brings my childhood imagination back :) And the horror just a children horror, no effect for me as if I watch it in my early age.
Love the scenes below.
Hmm not sure that I can just upload on my blog.... Can I?

another thing from the past
Attending my best friends' holy matrimony was an event that had been long awaited.
We were all so happy for them. THeir love story has been a such inspirational for me. Especially in this life, in a country and culture that call their self a religious country BUT make things difficult for a couple with different faith to get married!
So, it was really a love celebration, in the purest form for me. They overcame all the challenges that vary! And finally, they made it :)
While me & my friend enjoying the moment, seeing them after all the procession (yes we were so late, we went in just about they were finish), my eyes recognizing a shape. I was overwhelmed to shock!
It cant be her! What is she doing here?
What is she doing there??
The groom looks like know her well???
What .... what....
Later on, i asked the groom. Yap it was HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some one from the past that hard to explain, but has put a mark in the life.
Who is she? Why do you have to be so shock?
Yaa...it is so funny, i remember that i never tell anyone bout her. I consider that it was me not her, the problem, n i moved on. I thought so.
She was one of the famous creative directors in Indonesia. Had a looong of list in award winning,yet she held chief positions in advertising agencies. Respective jury. Decades of experiences.
The dark part was, i worked with her but i felt a hindrance approaching her in a nice way. Till now i conclude it as a "chemistry", i didnt have it dealing with her. New experience for me working with a person like her. Many other intern girls (even colleague) had the same feeling with me, it was just me think it profoundly, thinking that what was wrong with me (BAD habit). She even ever scolded me for not being impressive enough (for her), since i was the enthusiasm one to get in the intern.
I was doing fine with the other senior art directors and copywriters in the team. Her, only her in the company....
The positive things i got while working with her are:
I learn her systematic thinking in brainstorming. Brainstorming could be so frustrating. But she, as a creative director from copywriter background, made it systematical.
I learn about a personalized advertising print. She told me about it while making a print ad (iklan cetak). It was like hell while making it. I should catch the brand's personality, brand's guidlines, etc. If u cover the logo of a print ad, can the audience recognize ur ad? It is a good thing to think, i think, though it should prevent you to explore the artwork (layout i m talking here).
It helped me to produce a right style of an artwork when i work for a client.
She asked me to put make up & dress up. Turned out i bought some bodyshop eye shadow & skirt. Stupid! Yup i crushed alot when the time of catching metromini with skirt and 3 cm heel (only). But the moral is, try to think out of the box. She told me i was too strict. I was more to a lawyer than a creative worker. I never heard that especially in the university. Later on i got an email from another sr art director about being more creative, & expounding your habit of creativity.
It is just funny. After these years (4 yr) i just find out that she is one of my best friend's relative...so funny.
Many other things in life is just like that also. There were times that this person is that relative. This logo is belong to that person and there always be a story behind a person.
I take it this way. It is all in HIS mighty hand. All things in my life. He can make me to meet a person for a reason, and for my own good. The world is in HIS hand.

So happy, that days ago finally i had the trick from a friend....And it is so simple...
Using photoshop, one filter only, change the blending change. And the rest depend on the brush u use. U can download many types on brush in deviantart. Manage the flow and the brush's dynamic. Photoshop is so powerful :p still....
Most of the brushes used downloaded from brusheezy.

This software comes in the bundle of bamboo fun :) So fun....

happy ending
Regarding to previous post I really got the happy ending. Let us make it settled (who is us here? mac users lah!) At least i got what i want and still have good thing after all of this turbulence.
As the second guy in apple careline suggested so here is the cronologist of the procedure:
- Bring to apple authorised service center. Means pay 74.90 S$ non refundable fee (just to state that my HD dead n i need to replace the new one! without you i can figure it out myself! Excellent job!)
- Call the apple careline and mention your case/reference number. Ask them to connect you to the customer relation
- Ask them for any dispensation.
Yep. After the trembling voice, all the dissapointment speech, holding the call, waiting, waiting. In that very same line they agreed to replace my dead HD with the new one for free. But I needed to pay the labour fee, for other apple care buyers' sense of justice. (I gave up the argumentation in this area, really, u need to prepare all ur goals - you are the lawyer in the court!)
Looses:
- 100 S$ for labour fee
- all the data inside the old dead HD is belong to apple
- time, patience in each calling hold and calling goin on
I thank to mac user in indo, zZet, and Sproean fellaw who helped me checking my HD (it is the rubbish seagate!)n him, as usual, still concern to give me place to complain.
This macbook generation really has many flaws, compare to its previous generation, iBook with G4 processor. Check this for your information.

psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
Indeed, i will be the strongest human being walk on through this life if this kind of God is mine.
