Weekend Thoughts

Temper Switch
If you are ‘your own self’ does it mean you own all your inner and outer entities?
Body and soul,
Emotion and logic,
Thoughts and acts?
Is it something like having an on-off emotional/biological switch that is completely under your authority?

Better Job
Define it, please.
Higher salary? Good working environment? Enjoyable assignment? Completely new place? Travelling all around the world?

Choices or no-choice
Which one do you prefer most?
Choices with only one way ticket.
No-choice…no further explanation needed

30
Is it really a critical age for female?
If a female choose to embark on another life at this ‘critical age’
Is there any possibility to be back to the comfort zone?

Confidence
How can you get and maintain it forever?
--without being accused as a snob.

Focus
Simple word, most unlikely to be performed.

Boys Don't Cry for bedtime story.
Not a wise decision...good movie, wrong time.

eeek!! your thoughts came down to one word: frustration.

here are my thoughts:
*temper switch: ideally, yes to all of the above. i must say it is quite a challenge because there are obviously influences from your surroundings, etc.. etc..
To be able to make a decision that you can live with and responsible with your own action are 2 things that contribute to 'your own self'.
Ih, I don't make any sense, do I?
The topic is too broad.. *excuses.. excuses..*
*better job: as long as you enjoy what you do, compensated accordingly, and hopefully leads you to your goal, then nothing else should matter, don't you think?
*choices or no choice: ? you mean decide or undecide? or just have so many options to choose from vs. have 1 or no choice at all? I don't think there is a choice with 1-way ticket.. Whatever you choose to do, will bring to another end with more choices to go. It won't stop at just one end, unless you choose to die.
*30 is not a critical age, unless you have a chronic illness and the doctor say you only have until 30! You just happened to be in an old fashioned place. As for the comfort zone, you are the only one who can create that for yourself no matter what age.
*confidence: you gotta build it yourself. Eh, there is a big difference between being confident and being a snob. Confident = you know what you are talking about. Snob is just plain vulgar, doesn't necessarily have the knowledge.
*focus: unlikely to be performed? I'm lost...

Capung, you are amazing.
I have no doubt, you will be good at whatever choose to do.
My best wishes to you.

psst.. psst.. those are plainly my opinions..

Muntok - Old Lady with Trace of Beauty and Charm part 2

Walk the City, then you will get the soul… ...and you may find more hidden beneath... Filled with otak-otak and es kacang, we continued our walk around Old Muntok. Few houses from Petak 15, there is a weird signboard : " Lorong Babi" . We laugh at the funny words in the beginning and follow the direction it shows. We found a newly built kiosk in a dead-end narrow alley. In there, 3 men are selling pork. They were smiling and told us to come in. I asked them if this place is new and they approve. "We are moved here when they (the government) move the old market to the new one across the river" I could see the new market from their stall…across the river. All of you are not joining the others to the new market? "No, this is the location for us" I didn't ask further. It is clear to me. Johannes Widodo, our Keynote Speaker, coined "Meeting Pot" for Muntok. According to him, differences for centuries manage to live side by side in

Muntok - Old Lady with Trace of Beauty and Charm part 01

My trip to Muntok is made possible by mAAN. This year the design workshop subject is Mentok (or Muntok) a Tin Mining City. Some background of the workshop can be found in mAAN Mentok Tin Mining City Design Workshop official website . Muntok's golden moment was back in 18th century until the day of New Order, where national development was centralized in Java. Similar to other places outside Jawa, Muntok losing its importance, despite its richness as on of Tin mines in Bangka Island. Yesterday I didn't manage to walk around the city much. Yet, thru stories from Brain Team we can quickly assume the city loses it's main energy: Youth. *it will be really nice to have more facts from detailed demography statistic data...I will post it as soon as we get the data. Before discuss further on this assumption, I should underline that Muntok has important role in Indonesia Tin Mining Industry. Tin Mining sector considers as the largest contributor for this city income. With t
