Today, i and my friends went to air force base at Hang Nadim to see their combat machine such as F5 Tiger, Hawk 100, Hawk 200, Hercules, and Puma. This is my second time visiting the air force base. The first time i went there was to see the F-16 Fighting Falcon (written in another post). I am surprised that this time i can see 5 types of machines. This is also my first time seeing a combat helicopter in real. I wish i could ride it. hehehe.

It’s been a while since my last post. Not that because i am getting lazy (a little actually), but i have so much work to do. So today i made my mind to spare a little time to update this blog a little. Today, i want to talk about events in GG this year. So far we have three events in GG in this 2008 year.

The first one is Ussy’ performance in GG. I don’t have the picture because i went to Jakarta and by the time i came back, the pictures were already deleted.

The second event is performance with Aura Kasih. She is the finalist of Miss Indonesia 2007. She sang a few song of her albums like Mari Bercinta, Mata Keranjang, Memory, etc. The audience reception is not bad either.

The third event is GG’s 5th birthday. In this event, we had dancers and performance from Ika Putri. On 12 AM, the management of GG celebrated it’s birthday by openning champagne.

That’s all for the events this year and i am looking forward to see the end-of -year event.

Today, i and my friend went to Hang Nadim Air Port to see the F-16 a.k.a “fighting falcon” fighter jet. The jets have been modified and repainted but they are undoubtedly the famous F-16. Man, i never think that i can stand close to them. They are really cool. I wonder if i can see F-22 “raptor” too someday. hehehe.

Microsoft Corp. has made unsolicited offer to takeover Yahoo with US$ 44.6 Billion (US$ 31 per share). As referenced from http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080201/microsoft_yahoo.html the offer to challenge Google was made on Thursday and announced Friday. If Yahoo agrees with the offer then it will be a biggest take over in In Microsoft’s history.In a statement, Yahoo said that it will carefully and promptly study Microsoft Bid.

Microsoft views Yahoo as a chance to battle Google’s dominance in online search and advertisement. In a conference call Steve Ballmer said that he won’t take no for answer. “This is a decision we have — and I have — thought long and hard about,” Ballmer said. “We are confident it’s the right path for Microsoft and Yahoo.”

My Comment:

First SAP acquired Business Object (vendor of Crystal Report) then Sun acquired Mysql and now Microsoft is trying to get Yahoo!. What’s next?

Our former president Soeharto died at 1 p.m local time today 27 January 2008 because of multiple organ failure. I express my greatest condolence.
