Coming Back with My Way

Many things had happened after the last blog. Sorry folks, for not updating... kinda put this blog into the later priority, actually... :p I promise I'll put it higher from now on, though :p

In this occassion, i would like to say thanks to all of my best friends (and of course, my friends), for coming to my farewell event last week.. 29th July, 11 AM - 15 PM. It was memorable... I'll remember all of your advices, and hopefully won't let anyone of you dissapointed. I'll upload the photos later in flickr and show some of it in this blog. So, don't go anywhere... ;)

I also plan to rebuild this blog to a better one... probably some more pictures, calendars, shoutbox, well... anything :p I'll try to finish it before my departure to Eindhoven.

To all people who don't know, I got a scholarship to continue my Master study at TU Eindhoven (TU/e). The scholarship was given by TU/e. In 15th of August, I'll depart to Eindhoven with Cathay Pacific Airlines, together with my senior in ITB, Samuel Louvan. We'll take a stop for a while in Kuala Lumpur before going to Schippol Airport, Amsterdam. I don't know how exactly we will go to Eindhoven, still waiting for the news from TU/e (We use Meet and Greet Service provided by TU/e).

Some of unordinary things happened these few days...

1. I finished my task as a researcher assistant in POSS-ITB (Center for Empowerment of Open Source Software - ITB). My final activity is to conduct a OSS training for ITB employee. The training went well, although there's so many training modules that had to be passed because of not enough time...

2. The TPDA Software was implemented very well, thanks a lot to my dear friend Ronny Hendrawan.. He's such a great guy... The software performance is highly boosted with his analysis (and also his code implementation)... Yet I still don't know how he did it without thorough understanding of TPDA Algorithm...

3. Me, Ghozy (a.k.a Ghozalfan Farabi, S.T. SI-2002 ITB), and Adit (a.k.a Aditya Wirawan, KL-2002 ITB) got the runner up for our paper in the TNI-KL competition... (by the way, it's already a long time since we made it :p ). Well, hard work payed off, eh? :p

4. Me and Udan (Muhammad Yusuf Hamdan, S.T. IF-2002 ITB) made a paper and made it into ICEEI 2007 (International Conference in Electrical Engineering and Informatics 2007 ) held by STEI-ITB.. Our paper is presented in a poster exhibition, equals to other international papers... hoho... but I'm still curious why did our paper didn't appear on the proceedings??? (Although we found it in the Table Of Contents..)


Well, probably I'll add some of the details later... but now, I would like to share a beautiful lyrics from Frank Sinatra in his song, My Way... I hope I can speak these lyrics with my heart in the future...


My Way
a music by Frank Sinatra

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
But now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way -
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
I did it my way.

For what is a man? What has he got?
If not himself - Then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.

Yes, it was my way.

C ya in the next blog!
