Okay, first, I wanna give you an alert. This post is actually a post I made to win a gift. I don't know since when I became such a bounty hunter. hahaha. Well, who's on earth that didn't even want free stuffs? :p
Moreover, it's a Korea trip gift for 4 days and 3 night by Korean Tour Organization (KTO) together with Korean Air!! How tempting is that?? Well, actually, no matter where the trip is, I think I'll still take part of it. And it's Korea!! A country that (so far) just can be seen (by me) in its dramas, or movies, or MVs, or even just a picture. Oh, btw, it's called Asian On Air Program. :)

It's dreaming tiiiiiimeeee..... \(^o^)/
Why I said "dreaming time"? Because it's pretty clear that I am still here, typing this post, wondering what will I do IF I can be one of those lucky bloggers. Now, if you may, I would present you: things I want TO DO, if I get to visit Korea. Drumroll please... :D

1. EAT
Okay, if you think I'm kidding by stating that, no-no, you're wrong. I'm very serious about it. Honestly, I think the next Korean wave to spread all over the world after K-Drama and K-Pop is K-Cuisine. I want to eat as many Korean food as I can try. Call me a pig whatsoever, but. Oh, wait, I don't wanna be called as pig. Okay, how about passionately-food-loving-girl? Yeah, that's better.
Call me a passionately-food-loving-girl whatsoever, but in fact, Korean foods are all tempting! Bibimbap (비빔밥), ttokpokki (떡볶이), samgyetang (삼계탕), jajangmyun (짜장면), kimbab (김밥), or tofu stew (순두부찌개), you name it. Even my friends were all like drooling over a variety show just because there's some eating scenes, which I'm pretty sure, it's involving what so called food. They even loved my home made kimbab! :D

I remember I posted an article about some old games here. Some of those games need to be executed in a MS-DOS computer. And since there's nothing more like that in present, so they made a system that would just do the same.

DOSBox is an emulator to emulate/simulate an IBM PC compatible computer running the older operating system, MS-DOS. -Wikipedia

I won't say more detail about it, or how the system works in detail. If you want to know more about DOSBox in detail, just go to Wikipedia, it much more reliable than my blog. haha...
here's the Wikipedia's link. and here's where you can get DOSBox emulator.

It is an open source software written in C++ programming language. Apparently, its development is more focusing in running DOS games. It uses command lines to operate. 


For some people who are not really in a good term with all those command lines (including me), using that command-prompt-like, is such a thing to do. I always think that people who can operates a computer or whatever inside it, by using command lines, is the coolest. It's like literally watching their super advance brain doing some works to produce those lines. Okay, even though I'm a student in informatics engineering major, but that's just not my thing. So, I'm sorry for my lack of ability. *bows*

I got this little test from my friend, that got it from her friend, that got it from her boyfriend, who got it from the company he's been trained. In short term: I got this from my friend's boyfriend, indirectly.

So, here's the question:

It starts to rain heavily outside your house when these 5 things happens together at a time: your baby cries, there's a phone ringing, your water tap opened keep the water won't stop running, there's a guest knocking and waiting outside your door, and your laundry start to get wet by rain. What would you do first, second, third, fourth, and last?

Note:
The assumption is all yours.
and NO CHEATING please. hehe.. :D

I've been playing some old games since few weeks ago. I didn't know when it started, I just browsed some games I played in my childhood time. Kind of hard to recall each game's name, all I did was giving some keywords in the google, hoping it would give what I really mean. And I started playing these:

1. Prehistorik 2

This game is about an ancient man doing some adventure through different ages. He have to find a finish sign for each level, while collecting foods and facing kinds of animals as enemies. He's armed with a club used to whacks the enemies and finds hidden invisible foods and places all over the stage. Each level has its own secret code that can be loaded from the first. There're so many cheats of its secret codes in the web, but somehow, in my console, the codes were different. So I guess, it's different for each game played. I don't know.
I think I was playing better back when I was a kid. Now, I couldn't pass 4th level yet. And because there're so many hidden foods and places, I was trying to find its level maps. And I found them at its official site here. You can also download the game itself there.

So this is a kind of test I got from Science Center in Trans Studio Bandung for my past Christmas holiday. In fact, science center isn't boring at all! I tried many things there, include this simple test to determined what part of brain that dominates you, and it will tell you what kind of personalities you might have. Curious? Check this one out. But NO CHEATING! Do as the order, ok?

First Test
Try to hold your hands (palms) together like when you pray, tightly interlace your fingers. Now, see your thumbs. If your right hand's thumb is covering your left hand's thumb, it means the left part of brain dominate more. And if your left hand's thumb is covering your right hand's thumb, it means the right part of brain dominate more.
See picture below for a clearer way how to hold your hand together.

First Test : Hold your both hands

Last week, I made Kimbab for my lunch box's trip to Yogyakarta with my friends. it's my second time making this. I was in my holiday (actually everyday seemed like holiday for me though), and my friends that had been lived in other cities were coming home, so we made a plan for a little trip. And there I was, making a Kimbab in my kitchen. :)

Kimbab is a Korean food that use kim (김, seaweed) and bab (밥, rice) for its ingredients. It's like sushi-roll in Japan. It's a very simple food to make. Here's the recipe -modified by me-

Tools:
- Kimbal (a tools for rolling the rice, made from bamboo)
tip:
If you don't have kimbal, no need to buy it, just use a transparent plastic. It works the same. I used it. :p
- Cooking brush

It's a psychological test I've got from "Seminar Vacancy : Get Excited, Guide Your Carrer" by CDC IT Telkom last monday, December 12th, 2011. There were three speakers: Mr. Oscar Marino from ePROTEA FINEXUS Malaysia; Mr. Wirawan Winarto from Microsoft Indonesia which also one of IT Telkom's alumnus; and Ms. Sukmayanti Ranadireksa, M. Psi, a psychologist.

Mr. Oscar presented on how our job won't be depend only in our past education. He himself, was a civil engineer student in college, but now he's responsible in IT department in Finexus. How that can be happen? or how that can be related, civil engineer and IT? None. He's in civil engineer major indeed, but he found his passion in IT. And now, he works in the name of IT, not civil engineer.

I got this article from my friend's post that also got it from another source, so I couldn't paste the source here. It's about fine-ticket as in a speeding ticket. It's such a common thing my beloved country, that this thing, become one of mining land for some responsible-but-irresponsible people. I'm not saying who or what party, unfortunately it's not just done by one party. Poor my country for being in such condition.
Enough mourning. Nothing change with that mourn attitude.


Now, here, the ticketing procedure is like this: you break driving rule, responsible people stops you, give you an explanation what did you do wrong, show you the written laws that you break and the fine that you may have to pay, then start writing a ticket for you and confiscate your driving license for a moment. That given ticket is used as a proof that you have broken the law. You will have to attend a trial that be held about 2 weeks later to pay your fine and get your driving license back.

As you know -if you knew- I am a fan of stars, those little-shining-things on the night sky. And because of my past blog post about Galaksi Kinanthi's book review, I want to know more about star constellations.

Historically, the term constellation was used to refer to a perceived pattern formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another. Almost all of modern constellations were share name with the Graeco-Roman predecessor, such as Leo, Scorpius, and Orion. Feels familiar with some of the names? Yes, some of them are the zodiac names.
