I am delightfully surprise this morning as I was browsing through my facebook friends, that I found

one of my best friend was writing his own rhyme.. a sweet romantic poem,

you can read it here : Click this link

It is entitled WONT YOU I have no permission to republish it here, but I am sure he will be fine with it,

he is that cool!!

Won’t you come out of your room?

Won’t you come with me and see the sea waves?

I’ll wear my swim trunks so won’t you wear your swim suit?

Won’t you let me hold your hands as the sands shuffled through our feet?

A lot of things can’t be seen by eyes alone,

See how my heart sings when we sat side-by-side

As I see your face shined by the setting sun

I crazily hope that such day will never fade

Even think 365 days can change,

Therefore, won’t you?

Alot of questions, romantic one were being asked in this poem,

again and again repeatedly, rhetorically waiting for an answer, one that seems to be left unanswered.

It gives the reader a sense of hope, but yet summarized in the lonely and sad sentence : Won’t you?

The poet suggest that whoever this poem is meant to be is sadly not always compromising in his desperate romantic plea of doing fun stuff in the beach, in a lovely sunset. That is what I get from reading won’t you.

The feeling of a peaceful serenity emerge when the poet describe the sand “shuffling” through the lover’s feet, this is a strong feeling that any sane adult human being who have ever felt in love must have experienced.

The word “see” instead of “hear” used for the singing of the heart not only matches the previous line perfectly, but also it teaches us one thing, that human emotions can be visible through body language..

Remember the magic?

Remember the time you felt in love?

Do you want it back??

then Wont you must be an enjoyable read for you!

I’ll give you guys a sneak preview:

Wow…. that is some nasty bad ass thingy.. but what is it? What are we making??

Some more mouth watering preview…

Okay.. enough of the thingy…

prepare this December 2011, something evil is coming this way!!

no matter how little sleep I have, I always have no problem waking up from my bed.

Since I was a toddler my parents and family members sleeping in the same room would

annoyingly brush me away when I woke up at 5 AM in the morning and disturb their peaceful slumber..

When I was a teenager studying in Singapore, every single day, without fail, I would woke up at 5.36 AM..

right at the dot.. I believe that every human have their body clock.. and no matter how late I sleep, this body clock of mine always woke me up at 5:36.. it can be a blessing, but it can also be a nuisance, especially if it is on a Sunday morning..

Nonetheless I for one adore the morning…. everything is peaceful, quiet and majestic…

I find that I can conquer the world when I woke up in the morning, and that I did not waste any time to do the things that I have to do, in order to conquer the world..

early bird catches the worm

this is so true! Recently after becoming a CEO of my own company, STRANGELY I would wake up at 2 AM thinking it is 6 or 7, and I seriously can’t wait to get back to the office and work.. WOW what an extraordinary feeling! AWESOME!

Here are my top 5 tips for those sleepy heads that finds it hard to wake up to the morning sunrise:

1. No matter how hard it is, drag both your feet and touch the ground.

This always work for me, when both my barefoot touches the cold ceramic ground.. I am AWAKE!

2. Always snooze for about 3-5 minutes

Don’t force yourself up when you know you are going to fall flat on your pillow again,

allow 3-5 minutes of sleep, sometimes your body need the “right time” to wake up. DONT put a slow sounding snooze alert, as it will not wake you up!

3. Sleep smart, not too much

I never sleep longer than 5 hours, and I think it is enough for me.. you have to know how long you have to sleep, not how long you need or want to sleep..

4. Take a shower immediately in the morning..

This is good, we need it in the morning! it will definitely wakes you up!

5. Have a good breakfast

I can’t stress how important this is, but It will definitely make your day,

try and make your own breakfast, be it tossing an omelette, slicing your own bread,

make it yourself, and eat deliciously! It is sooo rewarding, trust me..

thanks for reading,

and have a blessed morning always!

So here is some quick updates:

My small IOS venture has been incorporated in Singapore

after receiving Serie A funding from a local Indonesian VC of up to $US1 Million.

Stories here:

e27.sg

Penn-olson.com

Dailysocial.net

It was always nice to also have the extra benefits from the media exposure, mostly big local media.

I wouldn’t consider myself a celebrity, nothing bothers me more than being viewed as a “proud” person.

But here I would like to express my gratitudes to the people that made it all possible:

My family, that includes parents, siblings in particular Rokimas my brother, and my cousin Dede whom, without him, we would not go this far.

My friends who stayed with me and believed in me all through the up and downs of Touchten, Christine Sutjipto, Siska, Sherwin Tobing, and all those I did not mentioned, you will always be in my heart.

My business partners, Ideosource, Lolo sianipar and all that made it possible.

This is NOT the END.

This is the start of a marathon, a very long and exhausting one.

But watch out! Our company - Touchten will finish strong and I dedicate the rest of this entry

to a beautiful poem that kept me and apparently Nelson Mandela strong,

in times that I thought, quitting is the only way. In the painful moments that made the belief fades..

Invictus

These are the words of William Ernest Henry, written after he lost his legs amputated due to war.. These are the words that gave me strength and the power to carry on, the discipline to continue, and the hope that set me free…

Thank you for reading!

PS: RIP Steve Jobs

My only regrets is not meeting and thanking you personally, for giving me a living and a hope to make it big. May someone great “up there” repay what you did to my life and family’s fate.

Finally Jobs revealed his new Baby… the Fifth Generation of Iphones, (1G, 2G, 3G, 3GS, and Now

Iphone 4!).

There are lots of new Features, and Steve gets to reveal only 8 of them in this video, as he announced

the new Iphone 4 at the Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference in San Fransisco (June, 7, 2010)

One of the new feature that would probably supports Skype’s ability

to chat with fellow “skyper” (don’t know if it is even a word) is the Front Camera feature!

Behold, the Front Camera

Iphone 4 Front Camera

I always have wanted this… It’s aches my heart to see narcist in the club, having a hard time,

taking pictures of themselves with the current Iphone

Another “YAAYY!” moment will be the introduction, or so called the claim

of the “Apple A4 Processor” which can support multitask, like doing your laundry for you,

feed the kids, walk the dog, while still preserving battery life….

Apple A4 processor

Well, I just hope, actually REALLY putting my finger crossed, that the new Iphone 4

Would be able to have a more prolonged battery life,

so that jealous friends and family

could NEVER tease me about the insanely short battery lifespan the current Iphones have..

Well… I have never been so excited before, Not even the iPad news tempted me

to update this blog.. and Yes.. This indeed changes everything. Again…..

At least you have shown them

what can be done in our Nation

Thank you and Bon Voyage!

Note: Gus Dur Died in Jakarta on 30th Dec, 2009

No no, I am not dead,

I was just hybernating in this cold Tokyo..

I am writing away two of my important pieces in my life,

one is my Master Thesis, and the other is a secret yet to be revealed…

Wishing you well
Anton

just watch

Enjoy!

Well in today’s English language fascination I am going to introduce a random sentence that meant alot to me.

If I remembered it correctly, this words came from my former physics teacher back in the Singapore days.

it goes something like this:

“You won’t treasure a thing,

Until its..Lost”

to me these words are very symbolic and full of meaning..

This is why I like it: It cleverly uses the word “treasure” and “lost” and brilliantly use its off topic relations and makes it meaningful in such a short but sweet sentence.

The fact is, I’ve checked, of all the languages I know so far.. there is no other language than the English language, that describes it best and deep like:

You won’t treasure a thing, until its lost..

If its not lost, it would not be a “treasure” right? duh…

I better stop this blog, before you become my “treasure”, yes you my readers..

thanks for reading!

PS: Thanks Mr Chan (my physics and form teacher when I was in 3A Bowen)
