Sun Acquired MySql

This can be the most shocking news for me in the beginning of this year. Sun acquired Mysql with $ 1B price. As referenced from http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/sun-to-acquire-mysql.html, on Januari 16, 2008 Sun Microsystems, inc announced it’s intention to acquire MySql, the developer of the world’s fastest growing open source database with approximately $ 1B. After the completion of the transaction, MySql will be integrated into Sun and the CEO of MySql will join Sun’s executive team. Sun will pay approximately $ 800 million for the stock and $ 200 million in options. For the complete article click the link referred above.

My Comment:

The integration of Sun and MySql will surely bring both to the next level. On the top of that i sure hope that mysql will stay open source

Good Bye 2007

Monday, 31 December 2007 19:31:55
Today is the last day of 2007. Although it’s not a splendid year, it’s not entirely bad year. Many major things in my life occurred in this year.

On February this year, i reached my final test. It was a test which will determine my graduation. I did feel nervous since i could not sleep the night before it. In the end, the exam was surprisingly smooth. In my opinion, the exam was not as bad as everyone talked about.

On June, i resigned from my first company (PT. Trio Infotek Batam). I planned to go to Singapore right after i came home but i got eye irritation that day. So bad that i thought i had to cancel the whole trip. Luckily i got a little better in the afternoon and i decided to depart right away. Three days later, i went to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore with Dasa and his family. It was the craziest trip i have ever had. I went to another country without relative, concrete plan, and direction. I didn’t even know where to sleep at night. Somehow these daring jackasses managed to enjoy their trip safely. I really thanked God for that.

On July, i joined PT. Sumber Buana Makmur (my current company) to work as software engineer. It’s a very hard work. Much harder than my previous job. I quite like this job though.

On August, i graduated from my university. It was a moment awaited for these three and half year. I am sure my family will be very proud. After that day, i can officially use the title “S.Kom”. hehehe.

The time now is eight o’clock. That means four more hours till midnight. In these last moments some people are suffering because of natural disaster. Indonesia sure is smashed up this year. You can name every disaster which occurred this year such as flood, land slide, earth quake, heat wave, storm. I sure hope next year will be better year for me and everybody else. Happy new year every one. May God bless you always.

T2 in GG

Last Friday was probably the busiest and special day for us in this month. Yup. Because Tika and Tiwi of T2 came to our place to sing in the special event “Crazy In Love” (GG’s events always have the word “love” in the name). So everybody was busy preparing for their party here. They arrived in Batam in the morning by Lion Air. I don’t know for sure their activity in the morning. On 4 in the afternoon they came to GG to practice and adjust the sound system. But guess what? They were not alone. Many of their fans followed them here to take their pictures and ask for their autograph. Out of curiosity, i came down to the pub to see them in real person and took some pictures with the camera i lent from my boss. The camera is an old type though so the quality of the pictures is not very good.

Ok. I’ll just skip the details. On 1 in the morning they were ready for their performance. The pub was full packed with people who wanted to watch their performance. Before they went to the hall, they stopped by the KTV room to meet us first. What the hell! They looked so different. They were more beautiful than they were while checking sound in the afternoon. My boss asked to take a picture with them and they agreed. Of course i wanted to take a picture with them too (who doesn’t want to take a picture with two beautiful and gorgeous ladies anyway?). After that they went directly to the hall and started their performance. Wow. They really rocked the whole night club. Everybody enjoyed their show especially when they sang their most popular song, OK!! and Lelaki Cadangan.They sang about 10 songs before they ended their performance and returned to KTV room to take a rest. We asked for their autograph. They signed on the CD cover for my boss and a piece of paper for me. They stayed in Batam only for one day. They returned to Jakarta the next day in the morning.

Another Song Lyric

Today i want to write about avril’s song “When You’re Gone”. You can find this song in her latest album “The Best Damn Thing”. It’s released on april 17th, 2007. The album has 17 songs. So here is the lyric

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I’d need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I’m alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I’ve never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I’d do, I’d give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

Well this song teach us to cherish everything we have now because some things can not be retrieved again once we lose it. It’s not always have to be our lover but everything precious to us. Correct?

Finding A New Target In Life

When i was in college. i had a lot of target such as finishing my study in three and half year, get a GPA higher than 3.75, buy a motorbike, have income on my own, etc. Thanks to God that i can achieve all of them. It has become my pride.

The problem started after i graduated. I have achieved all of my target. What’s next? For these few months, I had lived aimlessly day by day. In other words enjoying my life. Of course i can’t go on like this. Otherwise i can’t step forward anymore. After all my dream is to step the highest peak possible in life.
