I am a twenty something guy, who lives in Jakarta, working in the multinational corporation, busying my ass up on the corporate ladder. I’m opinionated and loves to share it with people, within boundary of reason and common sense. I love taking picture, reading, swimming, cooking, watching movie and quite surprisingly, shopping. My favourite book written by C.S. Forrester, and my favorite movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Hey Rihan, just found your blog, and I really enjoy your writing. I never knew you were quite a writer.
. Great blog mate.
Hi Ven !!! What a surprise, how could you find my blog in the first place ? By all means, thanks for stopping by, and thanks for the compliment too. Admittedly, my English is very clumsy, and as you realized, I’m fond of using unusual terms and words. Please keep reading, and your comments on the post is most appreciated. Cheers.
Howdy, Rihan! Glad to see your comments on my simple blog. And thanks a bunch for the lengthy response to my post about Mata Najwa. Seems we have different angle to view the issue but that’s the essence of speech freedom. As long as we’re conveying our disenting opinions in a civilized way, I guess there’s no reason to get offended. I mean it ^_^
I’m not a pro writer either, so to speak. My English is even far clumsier than yours, so it’s fine. Keep writing.
I have a certain fad when it comes to clothing, too. Personally, I love most Korean actors’ fashion taste. A bit colorful and girlie (some say) but IMO their taste is fine and one-of-its-kind. What’s yours?
Hi Akhlis, really appreciate your visit. And its always my pleasure to visit and comment on yours, now considering that you are really productive blogger, I would not hesitate to visit yours more often. Of course my comment is never meant to offend you in anyways what so ever, so although it appears awfully directs, so thanks to understand this.
I would of course understand your tendency towards Korean thingy, I saw your other blog in learning Korean (and I am truly impressed). I don’t think its girlie at all, it is colorful, yes, but as long as its use within proper boundary and appropriation its totally fine. Mine, is more on straight on gentleman rules, one that is standards across the world. This merely due to my background profession who demand so, yet in process incite me to love and to know more. As you will see, my sartorial taste will be revolving around suits, shirts, shoes and ties. So keep coming, might be useful someday
Definitely, Rihan. Plenty reasons to come back over and over again. Sorry but I don’t mean to be rude, but as far as I know ‘of course’ is the right spelling, instead of ‘off course’. Or is it another unusual term/word you coined? ^_^
Awesomely simple blog. I once had an idea to build a blog related to men’s grooming. But i don’t think I’m experienced enough to teach people how to groom as my grooming experience is much too inadequate.
LOL
Keep visiting each other!
Lol…nahhhh you are right, now you mentioned it I just realized that I repeatedly made the same mistakes over and over, shame on me. Hahahaha…thanks for spotting this.
I was born to be a proofreader, that was what a friend of mine said because I spotted a typo in a book she gave me after taking a glance for a couple of seconds. haha…sorry, bragging. It did happen but not that much actually. I used to teach English and my lecturing habit still lingers. ^_^
Good on you mate. I’ve never been a detailed person, but funny enough, my educational background and the jobs that I’ve been to, are for those that require detailed knacks. I’d like to think that that was God’s joke on me :p
That’s what I call life, buddy. We’ll never know to which it leads us. Unexpected turns, ups and downs, ughhh. Get bruised and rise again…ahh, what am I saying? Guess I’m drunk-commenting at the moment. ^_^ Just had a very bad day but exchanging ideas with you relatively eased my ‘pain’.
The pleasure is always mine.
