25 Years : The Adventure
Friday, October 6th, 2006My life is a kind of self-prophecy of things that I always wanted (Well, almost…). I am very thankful for my Lord because of it.
When I was in junior high, and got rejected for the first time (by a girl), I promised if I didn’t get any relationship until I grown up, I would go to find my adventure. I was thinking about leaving for Calcultta, Tibet, or Himalaya at that time, since the word "adventure" meant "going to the end of this earth, where nobody will know me there". Hahahaha…I guess that was an side effect of being rejected..
But after couple of times being rejected, I really really promised myself to get my own adventure, rather than being in relationship with a girl that I don’t like. Let’s just say it is an diversion of fear
being "Mr. Lonely" and "have nobody".
But what I’m going to have this year is not about that. For me, it’s time to proove myself, to have my own proud. At least, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life regretting myself of not having the girl that I like. Now I know, that I am the only one who can drive myself to my own happiness. Nobody else can do that for me, except the Lord Himself (of course). The adventure that I’m going to take will be my proove.
My plan for this year is :
- Rafting (September 2006) - already did in Ayung River, I’m waiting for rafting in Telaga Waja for more adventure
- Diving - Open Water Certificate - Tulamben (October 2006)
- Travelling : Kuala Lumpur - Cyberjaya - Penang - Singapore (February 2007)
At the same time, I still promise myself to have my own electronic company. Someday, people will wear my gadgets and the money that I’ll have, I’ll use it to finance scholarship. That is what I can promise to myself this year.
To do that, my target for this year is :
- Getting more experience in embedded system design, especially for FPGA/CPLD-based design
- Go to Malaysia / Singapore to find opportunities, and contact persons in electronic business
