Brand new Virus: Facebook

Do you have a Facebook account? If not, CREATE ONE!!!!!

I am not joking! Facebook is becoming a new lifestyle product that “a must have” for everyone. Despite from its popularity as a social networking forum, there’s other advantages that you can get from facebook:

1. You can still have a long distance communication with your friends from University, high school, junior high school, elementary school or even kindergarten!!!

2. You can do you business on Facebook, such as promotion for goods, services, etc. You can even look for a job on Facebook!!!

3. You can use Facebook as your political campaign!!! Believe me, try to search any political candidates on Facebook!

4. So many interesting games to release your stress

5. You are having difficulty to remember your friends’ bday, don’t worry, Facebook will do the reminder for you every single day!

6. You can decrease your cost of production for invitation cards by e-invitation facebook!

7. Looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend/soulmate or whatever you say that???? Facebook have millions of candidates for you! Yeah, just for you! LOL

8. Are you narcissi? Facebook is the right tools for you!

9. Last but not least, if you are a Kay Poh type of person, believe me, Facebook is your heaven!

There’s maybe some type of people that don’t really like or believe on internet social networking tools like Friendster, Facebook or Linked In. It is true that there’re also a negative effects from facebook despite their powerful networking function, example: facebook can bring back your high school love memory thou you are married now =P. That’s a really big trouble man!

Facebook really have no boundaries. Thou you haven’t met him/her at all, you can easily “Poke”, send message, send virtual flowers, send a hug, etc, etc.

It is good to keep in touch with your old friends, but keep it in line!

Indonesia decides

Indonesia decides!

D-day! Coba kita lihat rencana ekonomi dari masing2 kandidat (secara gw cuman ngertinya ekonomi, itu juga pas2an,huhu) XP

1. Megawati – Prabowo

Megawati (PDIP) and Prabowo (GERINDRA) mengajukan ide tentang “Kedaulatan Ekonomi, Keuangan dan Industry” dan “Memperkuat Ekonomi Kerakyatan”. Selain itu mereka juga mentargetkan angka pertumbuhan ekonomi 10% untuk 5 tahun mendatang.

Tehijau’s comment:
Saya mendukung program ekonomi kerakyatan yang diusung oleh pasangan No.1 ini. Namun program yang dipaparkan belum details dan tidak realistis. Double digits economic growth sungguh target yang terlalu optimis. Apalagi dengan situasi global financial crisis sekarang ini. Selain itu saya juga kurag setujun dengan re-schedule pembayaran utang-utang luar negeri yang diusulkan oleh pasangan ini. Penundaan pembayaran utang hanya akan menyelesaikan masalah jangka pendek bukan jangka panjang.



2. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono – Boediono

SBY (DEMOKRAT dan koalisi) dan Boediono (independent) mengajukan pertumbuhan ekonomi minimal 7 persen dan mengurangi angka kemiskinan hingga 10 persen lewat pembangunan pertanian, perdesaan, dan program prorakyat.Selain itu memangkas angka pengangguran sampai 6 persen melalui penciptaan lapangan kerja dan peningkatan modal usaha

Tehijau’s comment:
Terus terang saya kagum dengan sikap Pak SBY yang berani mengambil langsung untuk mengusung Pak Boediono (Gubernur Bank Indonesia) sebagai calon Wa-pres beliau. Dengan segala tekanan dari berbagai pihak beliau tetap pada pendirian dan keyakinannya.
Taerget yang di usung kandidat No.2 ini menurut saya cukup riil dan rasional. Tidak neko2 dan tidak terlalu banyak teori. Namun mungkin banyak orang yang akan bertanya tanya, apa yang menjadi dasar pelaksanaan ekonomi pro-rakyat yang diusung pak SBY dan pak Boed?
(maaf saya tidak bisa menemukan visi-misi pak SBK-Boed di website resmi mereka)

3. Jusuf Kalla - Wiranto

JK (GOLKAR) dan Wiranto (HANURA) mengjukan ide tercapainya ekonomi bangsa yang mandiri, berdaya saing, dan berkeadilan demi terwujudnya kesejahteraan masyarakat. Mereka mengusung kebijakan pro-pasar, yakni pasar rakyat yang mampu menggerakkan roda ekonomi riil. Selain itu mengamankan penerimaan negara dan sebisa mungkin tidak membebani rakyat sebagai wajib pajak.

Tehijau’s comment:
Program nya cukup mirip dengan No.1 dan No.2 yaitu ekonomi kerakyatan. Program yang diusung Pak JK ini terlalu sempurna menurut saya. Terlalu text book dan sangat susah diterapkan dalam ekonomi yang sebenarnya. Mungkin jika ada contoh-contoh yang lebih kongkrit akan lebih baik.


Semua program saya ambil dari website masing-masin kandidat dan beberapa sumber berita seperti kompas.com, thejakartapost.com, antara.com, dll berhubung saya susah untuk menonton berita atau debat langsung lewat televisi karena berbagai kendala.

So, Ayo ramai2 datang ke TPS masing2 buat nyoblos/nyontreng!!!!

WILL

How important is a WILL?

Recent case of the late Michael Jackson about his Will encourage me to raise up this matter. For some of us, it doesn’t really matter to make a Will or not based on assumption that “Hey!!! I’m still young anyway!!!”. This kind of perception, miss-interpretation and lack of self-responsibility will cause (not you) your family in trouble.

I just had WILL Writing workshop a few weeks ago. Thanks to my company that gave a chance to know how important a WILL is.

What will happen if we die without a will? Based on Singapore law, your assets will be distributed in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act (Chapter 146).

It takes months to process a Will. Can you imagine how long will it take if WITHOUT a will???

Some of complicated cases did occur during the distribution of the Will. Not to mention, so many conflicts between family just because HERITAGE.
You should consider reviewing your Will in the following situations:

1. When you get married
2. When you get divorced
3. When you dispose of assets that are set out in the Will or gain new assets
4. When a beneficiary dies
5. When you decide to change the beneficiaries
6. When you wish to replace the executor(s), trustee(s) or guardian(s); and
7. When you subsequently have more children or grandchildren.

So, consider to have your own will. Life is fragile (thanks Lele for the quote). You won’t know what will happen in the future.
