Pus2Meong Garage

     Yesterday, I just bought a prepaid Indosat M2 USIM Card for HSDPA Internet Access, I pay Rp 150.000 (around  16 USD) with hope I can get good internet Access.
     I fire up the USIM card and only to find out if my area is out of 3G range…. My phone only detect GPRS network, but lucky enough, the service I use is volume based, not time based.
     The weird thing is, when I connect using GPRS network, sometime when I open my phone I saw HSDPA icon in my phone, but then gone and changed back into GPRS at the next second…
     Man, I just hoping the BTS tower near my area is finished so I can get HSDPA network.

“Daddy, wipe my butt…!” “Stop playing Donkey Koooooong…!”

     My friend ask me to buy him this DVD, so i decide to add another postive feedback by buying this DVD at EBAY. Previously i was not too excited about this film, but when the DVD arrive and i call my friend, he said if i allowed to watch it first before him. So, since i got nothing to do that day, i watching on my laptop.
     Suprisingly, this film is amusing. It’s a documentary film about two person compete to get the highest score of Donkey Kong Arcade, this film mainly viewed on Steve side because he’s the challanger.
     When the result might not meet your expectation, but trust me, at the very end of the film, the story reveal the nice thing. This is a recommended film to have, specialy if you’re a gamer. It doesn’t matter what kind of gamer you are becase this is might be the first documenter film about two man compete in game, not sports or other.
     After i watch this film, i got remember WHY i stop playing Donkey Kong Not because i hate it but, because this is a brutal game who give you no mercy even for a newbie.
     Oh, there’s very very very short history of Donkey Kong in flash like animated movie. I like this footage,it tell you about Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto who got the idea to create Donkey Kong, and the meaning of DONKEY KONG title.

 GOD DAMN IT! That’s the first sentence who came out from my mouth after my card was rejected by Paypal. I was intend to pay the EBAY item i’ve won, but what a shocking screen, i saw text saying if Paypal was unable to do the transaction with my Visa Debit Card.

 I was wonder, has Bank Niaga shutdown the internet transaction service? So i looking for information and i found out if BankNiaga.com is hacked by someone named dedemit. Thought nothing important is changed (the hacker only leaving message for guy named Roy Suryo).
 This was caused by trash talking of Roy Suryo which pissing off Indonesian blogger community. Previously, on of Indonesia goverment site also hacked by the same person, and again, only leaving message to Roy Suryo.

 Who the heck is Roy Suryo and why he could pissing off the hackers? Roy Suryo is an Indonesia IT icon, get famous from proffing fake nude image of celebrities. However, from my point of view, he does have good IT education but lack of understanding about the IT community.
 Me, personaly i will choose Onno W. Purbo for the IT icon, why? Because he’s cool and funny, he also creating homemade parabolic disc for capturing wifi signal using…. a kitchen ware. He use frying pan, believe it or not but this WAJAN BOLIC (parabolic frying pan) can capture wifi signal for 1 kilometer.

Back to the topic:
 I was so frustated+furious, my first win at E-Bay and having this kind of problem? The next morning i go ask my friend to send me money into my Paypal account, phew…..
 Bank Niaga need to put this problem into their mind or they’ll loose alot of potential customer.

    Okay, this one really make my friend goes LOL of me.

I decide to check out few item on ebay, in case i found something interesting and extremely cheap to buy (since shipping cost to Indonesia could be 4-10 times higher than the item price).

After about half of hour, i found books that i like it, it’s rare and a valuable item. So  i put in to my watching list because the auction is end in 6 days.

And at the 5th day, i’m ready to do my first bid. And since i really want the item that badly, I searching info about bidding tip, i found if best time to do the bidding is at the last minute.

So i wait at the 6th day. When the time come, i log in into my ebay and get suprised if the auction is end 5 hours ago. What the hell…?! I said that in my mind, so i watching carefully at my watching list. And i got suprised!

I watching the wrong list…! There’s two books which sell by the same seller, this two books got same color but different title, the first book is end up 5 hours ago while the second one is about to end in few minute.

Man, as new ebay-er I intend to do my first bid, first buy, and cracking the zero number with one positive feedback…. But it end up with nothing…. Man… Unbelievable. And my friend laugh at me… (T_T).

Indonesian Language: On

Oke, gw dapet info ini dari blog punya Stevi Danny, jadi yang ogah baca bahasa Inggris langsung tancap aja ke blog punya Stevi Danny.

Indonesian Language: Off

Okay, i got this info from Stevi Danny’s blog, but in Indonesian language. So, read this if you want to read in English, i’ll short the guide. I’ll asume you already know paypal:

Niaga Bank Code is 022 while 0980 actually the first 3 digits of my account number. I adding 0 before 980 because my branch code only contain 3 digits. Please ask your bank about this matter. I don’t take a responsible about this information, however i found in the Internet if someone confirmed, it does work. But again, ask your bank first.

     Azumanga Daioh (end) and Little Jumper (on going). Azumanga Daioh is written by Kiyohiko Azuma, while Little Jumper is written by Yuzo Takada who famous with his 3×3 Eyes Manga, and Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku Anime.

     Azumanga Daioh is four panel manga series, telling about a lot of hilarious things from 6 high school girls and 3 of their crazy teacher. They are: Yukari (english teacher), Chiyo (genius 10 years old high school girl), Sakaki (tall, busty, and cool girl who obsessed for a cat), Tomo (noisy, hyperactive, and stupid girl), Yomi (clever and calm girl but often get annoyed by Tomo), Osaka (slow and spacey girl, her real name is Kasuga Ayumu. Called Osaka by Tomo because she’s from Osaka), Nyamo (her real name is Minamo Kurosawa, Nyamo relation to Yukari just like Yomi relation to Tomo), and Kimura (pervent teacher, but suprisingly have very beautiful & kind wife).

     Four panel manga usually don’t get much popularity like ordinary manga. However, suprisingly, Osaka is taking the 7th position among 100 famous Manga/Anime Heroine. I can understand why, because I also like Osaka, her calm, spacey, slow, behavior is stunning most reader (just like me).

     If you need to laugh or at least a smile, read this manga. This manga end at 4th  volume. The story start from the first semester of senior high school and end up at the graduation ceremony of the girls.

     Little Jumper (on going manga) is telling about Ichinose Chimari, daughter of Ichinose Hiroki who came from future to save her mother from future illness. The fun factor about this story is, Hiroki meet with his own future daughter and somehow start to like Chimari.
     Chimari her self is called as Rebuild, a human with unstable particle (caused by time travelling). Because her unstable particle, she can transform/creating from her body parts into another item like giant glove hand for fighting, metal wing pipe to fly, or a wired drill.
     Little Jumper is categorized as Action Science Fiction Comedy Drama, if you like this kind of genre, this title is good for you.

     The funny fact about this manga is, Anime producer refuse to animate this story because not based on Manga (originally this story is offered for original Anime). They said, most anime is broadcast at 6 afternoon and most mother ask their children to go to watching anime so they can cook dinner without getting bugged. Elements like “dying mother”, “ dying mother caused by incurable disease” are causing uncomfortable to house hold mother. “But this is the story of saving mother…!” said Mr. Takada, “NO!” answer the producer (^_^). Then ten years later, Yuzo Takada decide to write his story as a Manga.
