Simple really, there was a period in my life where I had no full-time job.
Back in 2005, after I finished working at Hard Rock FM, I rejoined the Indonesian national baseball team – but this time as an official. And once that was done, that is it.

Several months ago, I came across this quote:
Don’t die with your gifts still inside you.
Hits me directly in the nerve.
If you have known me well during my 20s, you’d know that I have been writing songs since then. Throughout these years, I’ve written around 35 songs (yeah some of them are crap). But I have only produced like 12 of them into recordings.
What an idiot.. I haven’t touched my blog in 6 years WTF.
Looking back, I do have the tendency of writing a lot of materials (blog post, song & music, etc) in a period of time (usually when I am broken hearted, lonely, and perhaps depressed), then nothing for years, then productivity comes back, then nothing again.
Well, I blame life. Life just happens. Some things were seen to be more important than others. And there’s nothing wrong with it. We grew up and we moved on.
Sebuah kebanggaan yang sangat besar membawa nama negara Indonesia di dada dalam kancah internasional. Beruntung saya berkesempatan menjadi anggota tim baseball Indonesia selama beberapa tahun.
Saya mulai bermain baseball di kelas 3 SD, berawal dari iseng ikut-ikutan sepupu saya. 8 tahun kemudian saya menjadi pemain nasional junior dibawah 18 tahun (u-18).
This post is about my attempt to challenge myself to become vegan for a week. To make it easy to browse this post, I’ve created shortcuts to the content:
We spent the last week of our 1-month-leave in Queenstown, New Zealand; thanks to the buy-1-get-1-free special deal from Jetstar. I have actually been to the north island NZ several times for work and some additional long weekends, but this would be my first time to visit the south island. We went in mid-June, around the start of the southern hemisphere winter.
There’s no better time and place to relax, than at the Onsen Hot Pools on the last day of our visit to Queenstown, New Zealand. After a week full of activities and excursions, including the Shotover Jet power boat ride, a helicopter ride to the mountains, a road trip to Lake Tekapo, and the Milford Sound flight, we have decided to spend our last day in Queenstown relaxing, bathing in the hot pool.
Don’t be like us. Book your Milford Sound tour early!
They say visiting Milford Sound is an essential experience when visiting Queenstown. Our mistake was we booked the Milford Sound tour last minute (late in the day before). We found 3 or 4 bus tours that we might have chosen to go to Milford Sound with, however all these tours were completely booked out. In our Queenstown trip, most days were cloudy except for that day we chose to go to Milford Sound on. This is likely why that day has been booked out everywhere.
Since both of us have never been on a helicopter ride before, we have decided to go with the Alpine Snow Landing excursion, by helitours.co.nz in our Queenstown trip.
As part of our 8-day trip in Queenstown, New Zealand, our friends and people we met in Queenstown recommended us to experience the Shotover Jet excursion. At first we thought this is just another powerboat ride, looking at Queenstown sceneries and whatnot. We did not do any research before but decided to just go for it on our 2nd day in Queenstown.
