Mike’s Blog

Finally I got some time to play with Google Maps.

Click here to see a bigger version of the map and see where I’ve been so far.

Panglima Besar Jenderal Sudirman, one of the greatest generals that Indonesia ever had. I wrote this on my blog as a tribute to him. There’s a statue of him standing on Jenderal Sudirman street in Jakarta, before I was going to Germany, I never realized that the statue exist at all. But now when I saw it, I really respect that statue and knew that the “General Sudirman street” is not only a street name.

You can take a look at the statue:

And this is his life’s story in pictures:

Compare him to them, member of People’s Representative Council nowadays (Anggota Dewan jaman sekarang)

Araluen Botanic Park

Pictures from Pinnacles… It’s not  something you could see in Europe.

I saw this amusing page at my cousin’s blog and tried it. Here is my result:

To be honest, I was kinda surprised to see the result. I thought I were rather a Batman type… but Flash isn’t too bad either The only problem is I don’t know too much about The Flash yet. I should go and get some lecture about him

It’s been 4 months since I’ve started working at my new employer. My impressions so far have been positive: nice office, (rapidly) growing business volumes, casual working atmosphere, interesting projects, yet many colleagues with outstanding IT ability. The money isn’t bad either And every month we got incentives for some people who achieved outstanding performance. Guess what? I got the incentive for November 2007 Two vouchers for wellness trip in a 4 or 5 stars hotel (I’m not sure) in Germany, the value was about some hundred Euros. To be honest, I don’t know what I should do with it. I don’t like massage, I don’t like sauna either. I am kind of person who prefer ‘manual’ sport activities than going to gyms or saunas. Well, I’ve been told about the possibility to exchange it with another stuffs if I don’t like the incentive. Surely, I will ask for a technical gadget better than the vouchers.

I got a new job. I have been working at several big companies such as Siemens AG, BMW AG and ERM GmbH. Though I did the IT job, but none of them is a ‘pure’ IT company. Now I got an offer to join an IT company which is also one of the biggest solution provider in Europe. Actually, I got many offers, but this company attracted me the most.
