Sucker for Irrelevancy

Now, something I need to point out. How bad to be a multitasking person? No, I'm not talking about the ability to juggle Facebooking a friend; scanning an email; texting on your cell phone and tweeting about your latest technology tip — all at the same time. What I try to tell you is: is that okay if someone take - for example - two responsibilities at a same time, although he couldn't determines which one is to be a priority?

I hate rush and I consider it as a nuisance. May be other loved to be seen as a busy man, but I don't. D'you know what I know about busy man? The people who love to brag about how they're wired differently from mere mortals and can accomplish several things at once. More sarcastic? They're suckers for irrelevancy.

Just not my thing..

Irrelevancy or not, we must realize if we found it hard to believe each other while we just sitting behind the desk. Everybody talk about action and action. That's why I hate watch television right now. It's too many jargons, allurements, euforias, and bullshits everywhere. I see more hates than loves there. Damn.

Back to the point, multitasking. Someone said that if you want to be a good multitasker, you need to be able to very quickly decide between what's important and what are you going to pay attention to. That's my bigget problem , man!

I believe that people can't multi task very well, and when people say they can, actually they deluding themselves. Because what? the brain is very good at deluding itself.

I'm not deluding myself, neither sucker for irrelevancy. So what's the matter?

Cloudy Sunday

This cloudy Sunday don't make me weak. In the morning, me with family were going to one of the greatest spot in this city, Manahan Park. Right 7.00 a.m, we took there, feeding our baby with mush and breakfast with sun soup (is it right to spell: sup matahari?). It's very crowded, we must walk inch by inch, touch each other, well..we have to be in patient exercise in the early morning. That's good :)

What d'you guys do in this Sunday?

Just Tired

I was tired for everything. For those unfinished problems, or difficult peoples, ohm..I was close to make my mind in a bad prejudice. It's not good. I need something fresh, not just attacked by ideas I conquered long ago. I hope not.

On my to do list, there are several things that I must erase it immediately. Might they just wasting my time, or sucking off my energy, I must don't give a care. Too much intens right now that force me into this puzzlement. May be I'm not a goal-oriented anymore, but everything should be done before New Year! Damn, it least than one month ahead.

By the way, to attribute my educational results in internal factors that I can control is likely my major motive. And believe I can be effective agents in reaching desired goals was another one. Also interested in mastering a topic, rather than just rote-learning to achieve good grades, make a peculiar step in my day by day life.

But is it important right now? While everything seem unclear and my mind like got bombed with sorrows? Hey, you still have this free oxygen, don't you? Yea, who said it's for sale for God sake. Sorry, I'm gonna be swept off feet here...

Ok, next question is, how do I get motivated? It may be different for us all, but we have all got one, haven't we?

Start Up a New Toy


I've working on physical model test for one month and I found many things are new here. On the first order, our attention is about to overcome the rate of sedimentation into the Wonogiri reservoir. One of the actions is building a sabo dam or check dam on the certain river which might have reasonable contributes to supply sediments into the reservoir.

According to inception research, upperstream of Keduang river has a suitable place for sabo dam. And hydraulic test are required for clarifying the appropriateness of its hydraulic design with main objectives are: to study hydraulic performance, to obtain flow parameters, to study the problem encountered and to confirm the effectiveness of the design of the sabo dam.

One of the items of observation is carried out local scouring on the downstream riverbed of the sabo dam and also on the new bridge foundation. Here's my task, to simulate the sediment transport beyond sabo dam, therefore the model can be applied on the real world.

ANSWERS is the software to simulate the behavior of watersheds having agriculture as
their primary land use, during and immediately following a rainfall event. A distributed parameter watershed model incorporates the influences of the spatially variable, controlling parameters, e.g. topography, soils, land use, etc., in a manner internal to its computational algorithms. Those factors influence sediment transport on the watershed. I think that's a phylosophy of ANSWERS.

Can't wait to share what happen next.

Reasons


So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

As Oasis blow off Don't Look Back in Anger on my earphone, I try to recollect my lost memories that influence what I've got today. Several photos, pieces of writings, nostalgic songs and glances of fine remembrances, freshly wrap around my head. Honestly, I hate to be a man who ever was, and the other way, sometimes I miss my youth time very much.

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old

Cobain probably could read my mind. He sang about discomfort of being old, but still have a little youth enthusiasm which brought him to express it on brilliant way. Same with my life. However I do these days, those are a cumulative of what I did yesterday. A friend told me that I'm too mousy, I accept that, and inch by inch it'll become a psychological walfare for my life. The good news is, I'm not a fragile people. So I attempt to strenghten my other potential talent which could conceal it and blotting out those. Writing is also can be an aid. I guess that's my reason to write in this blog again. To heal the past...

Do you agree if someone say that 'writing is healing'?
