I met someone nice on Wednesday. It was such a random meeting as I was accompanying a good friend from Singapore. At last, a nice and decent female after two months in Jakarta. My instinct somehow tells me that I can trust her. I'm not sure what I'm feeling but I do think of her from time to time. I haven't had this feeling for almost a year and it feels great. Normally I'm very protective to myself and now I let myself go. I feel good talking to her. I feel good sharing my thoughts and feelings to her. It has been a while since the last time I felt that way... :)
I've been spending my whole weekend in the office. I was at the office till 00:30 on Friday, 23:30 on Saturday, and I'm expecting another long hours on Sunday. However, I still managed to have a good time at my usual hangout. Entertained a dear friend from Medan.
Definitely had a good weekend despite the long work hours. I should post all the long hours at the time sheet. I have been nice not to post any overtimes. :) But 12 hours of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... I have to post. All these long hours are caused by bad early phase design which causes lots of headache. I think I'm more productive now (under alcohol influence) rather than when I was at the office. Maybe tomorrow I should drink couple of glasses of beer before I start working.

The Motivation of Neverending Learning
About a month ago, I heard about a motivation from one of my mentor at work and thought that I would share with all of you:
"Programming language evolves and from time to time, new languages will replace the older languages. I was asked at the interview for the position as Asia Pacific Java Evangelist on what I think about how Java will be in the next 10 years, and I literally told them that I don't know and I don't care. I could program anything in C++ faster than any of you programming equivalently in Java but sticking to one language won't pay my bills. I'll go where the trend is and learning new things is not a sin or betrayal to what you have known. Look at the newest OS X... it does not include Java runtime in its OS but instead it includes Ruby. Why? Apple thinks Java is obsolete...."
