L(i)Bour Day

Hari ini Libur, Cuti, Holiday.

Ya, Hari Buruh, Labour Day, itulah, yg penting LIBUR.

Sejenak saya teringat ketika pernah membahas ttg 'buruh' dgn kakek saya yg berada di Malang Jawa Timur. Beliau menyatakan 'kekurang-profesional-an' para majikan dan buruh itu sendiri selama ini. Artinya:

Buruh ya buruh, Majikan ya majikan. Jangan pernah sekali-kali melunturkan profesionalisme Buruh-Majikan dengan kata-kata SODARA. Karena pada saat kata ajaib itu keluar dari mulut salah satunya, maka pada saat itulah posisi Buruh-Majikan akan menjadi BLUR.

Majikan wajib melaksanakan kewajibannya sebagai Majikan, dengan memberi upah yg layak sesuai aturan kepada si Buruh. Buruh wajib melaksanakan kewajiban sebagai Buruh, dengan melaksanakan perintah si Majikan selama tidak melanggar aturan. Nah Kalo SODARA, gimana? silakan dipikirkan ...

Buat saya, yg penting hari ini LIBUR. hehehe.

Pesan Penting

Dalam upacara pembukaan Wajib Militer di Korea, terucaplah dari komandan:

I have a message for parents,
Please don't come too often to see your sons.

I also have a message for girlfriends,
Don't give them broken hearts while you're separated

They're most depressed when they get broken hearts
Help them commit themselves to the training and send them a letter of friendship.


This message was taken from Spy Girl, Korean Movie.

Welcome My NakedSuSe (OpenSuse,red).



FinaLLy,
for the rest of my life, it's the very first linux I've ever installed SUCCESSFULLY.
Why OpenSUSE (baca: SusiWudo)? Bcoz of GREEN, hehehehe, that's it.

Setelah mengalami 'gagal install windows original' dan 'kehilangan data' serta perjalanan silaturahim ke kajang dalam rangka 'perbaikan laptop'. Akhirnya pagi ini kuberanikan diri utk menginstall mbak Susi.

Awalnya, setelah menunggu berbulan2 untuk mengoriginalkan kembali A80, saya mencoba merecover A80 menggunakan CD Recovery, ya tepat pendadaran thesis. Ternyata proses recovery saya gagal, karena CDnya dianggap unrecoverable read oleh Optical Drive saya. Dan parahnya, setelah saya cek, partisi saya bablas semua walo tdk sukses terecovery. Huaaa... and PANIC.
Saya cuba call bapak di kajang, lalu beliau sarankan ttg GetDataBack. Daripada malpraktek berkelanjutan, saya putuskan beli tiket ke kajang utk melakukan perbaikan itu. Tp malam hari sebelum pergi, ternyata saya sudah berhasil merecover data saya yang hilang. Sampe di kajang, hehehe, si A80 ndak mau idup, alias mogok kerja. Puas??
Sebagai pelajarannya, saya diajari bagaimana menginstall linux dgn baik dan benar.

Makasih pak, welcome home My SuSe :)
Ijo Ijo Ijo Ijo Ijo Ijo ...

Bapak berpesan: 'Jangan mudah menyerah pada nasib'. Ya, seperti yg disebutkan di dalam (13:11).

21st Engineering Design eXhibition



Yeah ... perhaps it's just a lucky.
No enough preparation,
No motivation,
No idea,
No hard feeling (hehehe).
Bronze Medal, you deserve it.

To the Gold and Silver ones, Congrats.

ps. My Name is IRVING, not IRVINE.

... Ya Rabb, masukkan hamba kedalam orang2 yang bersyukur ... (14:7)

The...Sis report (baca:Rapot)

from external examiner (Prof. Mohammad Ishak Desa)

In general, it is a good and well written thesis. The research problem addressed is non trivial and practically relevant. Substantial works have been done to address the problem. The thesis contributes to both the body of knowledge as well as to the practice. Based on hypothetical problem scenarios of a survival system, a new recovery model and its solution algorithm have been developed and tested using various case studies through experimental simulation. However, there are areas that need to be improved particularly the problem statement, the review of literature and the formatting of thesis. The statement of the problem was not explicitly expressed and the revies of literature was not geared towards supporting the problem to be addressed, the methodology and the design of the model/solution. The review is more of giving background knowledge and definitions, lack of critical analysis on the weaknesses of existing models and solutions to survivability problems. On the simulation experiments, more discussions and analysis of the various simulation results are required.

from internal examiner (Dr. Baharum B Baharuddin)

The thesis is on the development of a recovery model for survivable system through critical service resource reconfiguration.
Based on the thesis the candidate has shown competency in carrying out independent work and has made critical use of published work and source.
The strength of the thesis lies in the model developent whereby the candidate has given several scenarios and sub-scenarios. I believe that this gives credence to the originality of this work. I am also of the opinion that this thesis is worthy of publication either full or in part.
The weakness of this thesis is generally grammatical in nature and has been noted on the thesis for correction purposes.

Yeah, those were all ... for my 20 months.
and I'am still thinking a say : ' Irving, you're little bit unprofessional and that's why I advise you to take more experience before you take the next degree '.


Ya Rabb, dont let me fall into a suspicion ... (49:12).

Sejenak - by LeTTo

sebelum waktumu terasa terburu
sebelum lelahmu menutup mata
adakah langkahmu terisi ambisi
apakah kalbumu terasa sunyi

luangkanlah sejenak detik dalam hidupmu
berikanlah rindumu pada denting waktu
luangkanlah sejenak detik dalam sibukmu
dan lihatlah warna kemesraan dan cinta

sebelum hidupmu terhalang nafasmu
sesudah nafsumu tak terbelenggu
indahnya membisu tandai yang berlalu
bahasa tubuhmu mengartikan rindu

yang tlah semu.. yang tak semu... dan tak semu...dah itu ...

Ya Rabb, semoga dgn ini hambamu ini mampu mengingatmu dalam tiap jenak ... walo tak mudah.
