The First Spaghetti I Make in My Life

It’s Monday, Dec 16 and I’m so happy. Why? If I look back some happened in my recent days, then I know why I’m happy. First, I’m happy because Daisy has filled my days with happiness. Yes, we have been in trouble several times due to extremely different character we have. She’s sensitive and I’m insensitive asshole! You’ll know how hard to deal with me if you already know how insensitive I am. Well, I’m learning and I know I will be more sensitive. Net, we’ve been very happy for the past 4 weeks. Second, happiness comes from salary! Yeyeyeyyeyeyyey…! I got my salary in my bank account. It’s enough already to give happiness in my mind. Third, I’m happy because I entered stock and investment market NOW, after knowing about this since I was in college. I know the theory, how to play, how to react, how to anticipate the market dynamics, but I did not decide to play in it, just because I was too afraid to loose some money in there. I start reading US and regional market news, which have big impact for Indonesia stock market. I start speculate on when to buy and sell the portfolio that I have.

A Walk with Dai

DaidaiI’ve been planning to visit some museums in Jakarta, but I never did it in the past 9 months since I was in Jakarta. I imagined how romantic and nice it is to come, but I never really want to come! Payah deh… Kemauan aja yang ada, tapi tenaga kurang…! Typical orang yang kebanyakan planning tapi ga pernah terealisasi. On Saturday, I pushed my self to visit with Daisy. We looked for some other activities in Jakarta other than eating, watching movies and malls! :D And we found it. Visiting National Museum near National Monument is a nice experience. We saw many artifacts and fossils describing history from stone age to kingdom periods in Indonesia and of course we took some nice pictures on that day.

Though it may be a bored vacation – I think, yet lately Dai said that she was happy and it was a unique vacation she had. And for the next vacation, we will visit Kebon Jahe cemetery or Taman Prasasti Museum, which is the best place to take nice pictures. Love you, hun…!

The Richest People in the World

This week I read article about the richest people in the world, published by Forbes. There are two Indonesians who are listed as the richest. One of them is Aburizal Bakrie, one of Indonesian ministries, businessman, owner of PT. Bumi Resources and PT. Bakrie Telecom. He was not in the list before, but he is the list now and published as the richest person in Indonesia. And he’s the first Indonesian guys who entitled that position. A huge jump on one of his portfolios, BUMI stock, which increased 6 times, has made him as the richest. Aside from that, in telecommunication business, he played a significant role in CDMA business with his brand, ESIA from Bakrie Telecom. The conclusion from Aburizal learning is he becomes rich because 1) the businesses that he managed and discovered, 2) a market dynamics that increase his portfolio.

In America, the richest people get his position by :

  1. The innovative idea found : Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.
  2. The businesses of the family! How lucky they are! :D
  3. Celebrity
  4. Speculator in stock markets, who take advantage when the business condition is crashed.

I’m talking about the stock market entry that I have been doing. Analyzing those 4 points, I think I have no right to win in the first point – I’m creative, innovative, but the creative idea which I have is not strong enough to make me the richest :p; second point – the business my family has is only small traditional food restaurant, cukup buat kuliahin anaknya sampe selesai dan beli rumah; third point – ada sih darah selebriti, tapi selebriti mungkin bertahan selama mereka muda aja, sekalipun banyak juga artis yang bertahan sampe bangkotan [ the truth : yah emang kagak bakat jadi artis, kagak punya modal jadi artis hehee ]. So, I decided to proceed with fourth point. By this, I may not be the richest, but I may be the person who will make my family happy by bringing them traveling to the place they want.

Massimo Dutti SALE!

It’s December and many SALE : Massimo Dutti, Zara, G2000, etc! Selalu aja banyak godaan setiap kali ada season kayak gini. I decided not to use the money for expenses, but for investment. Tapi tetep aja godaannya gede banget, apalagi waktu masuk ke Massimo Dutti dan liat jas-jasnya yang keren-keren and super hot! Liat harganya yang masih mahal banget, kagak jadi beli. Then I saw some Massimo’s nicest shirt. I hope the stock market is bullish so that I can buy some!

Anyway, I’m preparing anything to cook spaghetti now and I’m ready to cook the most delicious spaghetti I ever made – of course la! This is the first time and no benchmark… See you all, mate!
