<p>Setelah 3 kali berada di Korea pada musim dingin, akhirnya pada tanggal 22 Januari kemarin mimpiku untuk bermain ski tercapai juga. Cukup susah mengajak orang untuk bermain ski ini karena biaya yang dikeluarkan memang tidak murah, sekitar 100 ribu won (800 ribu rupiah). Tetapi dibanding ongkos penerbangan ke Korea atau negeri lain yang memungkinkan bermain ski, aku rasa biaya sejumlah itu cukup setimpal <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-875"></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="SAM_0187" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SAM_0187-500x281.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tiket Yangji Pine Resort </p></div>
<p>Berenam dengan teman-teman yang lain, akhirnya kita memilih <a href="http://pineresort.com/pine/index.htm">Yang Ji Pine Ski Resort</a> sebagai tempat tujuan kita. Melalui seorang rekan kerja di kantor yang asli Korea, kita booking tiket masuk ke sana sekaligus bis jemputan dari Suwon. Sesuai waktu yang ditentukan, pada hari minggu kita keluar dari hotel jam 7 pagi menuju Suwon Station, dimana bis jemputan akan berada. Bis jemputannya dijadwalkan datang pukul setengah 9, tetapi sampai jam setengah 10 bisnya tidak kunjung datang -.- Akhirnya kita mengambil inisiatif bertanya pada Tourist Information cara lain menuju ke tujuan dan naik bis umum.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="Yangji Pine Resort" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SAM_0176-500x281.jpg" alt="Yangji Pine Resort" width="500" height="281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rombongan ski berpose dan bisa ditebak saya di sebelah mana -.-</p></div>
<p>Sampai di tujuan, kita bingung kok tidak ada salju sama sekali. Tetapi setelah bertanya ke bagian pos informasi, ternyata kita masih harus naik lagi ke atas. Petugasnya kemudian memanggilkan dua buah taksi untuk mengantar kita ke atas. Dan yeah, kita bisa melihat saljunya <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Tetapi sebelum itu, kita terlebih menukarkan reservasi kita menjadi tiket dan kupon makan. Yup, kita memutuskan untuk makan siang dulu karena akhirnya kita sampai di sana pukul 1 siang dan stamina kita sudah lumayan goyah gara-gara bis yang tidak datang tadi.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="2012-01-22 11.56.48" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-01-22-11.56.48-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ini yang paling mudah, tinggal duduk dan meluncur <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="SAM_0183" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SAM_0183-500x281.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Yosh, let&#39;s ski!</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="SAM_0222" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SAM_0222-500x888.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="888" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pose dulu sebelum jatuh :p</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="2012-01-22 11.58.07" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-01-22-11.58.07-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Harga rental lift dan sewa peralatan ski</p></div>
<p>Setelah makan, kita langsung bergegas menyewa peralatan ski ^^ Dan, mari berpose dulu hehehe.. Kalau kata mereka, yang penting pose dulu, masalah nanti bisa main ski atau nggak gyahahaha <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Eniwai, akhirnya kita langsung mencoba bermain ski. Dan tidak mudah ternyata kawan! Sekilas kita cukup perlu menancapkan tongkat dan menarik tubuh kita, tapi tidak semudah itu. Kita akhirnya mencoba tempat paling mudah. Di sana ada eskalator berjalan yang akan membawa kita ke atas dan kita bisa meluncur dari sana.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="2012-01-22 14.40.11" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-01-22-14.40.11-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Landai, tapi tetap susah.. -.-</p></div>
<p>Hasil luncur pertamaku adalah mengerikan! Disaat yang lain jatuh, aku malah meluncur lurus wush wush, tapi ini justru jauh lebih mengerikan karena aku tidak tahu cara mengerem gyahahaha.. Bayangkan kamu sedang naik motor tapi remnya blong. Aku cuma bisa teriak-teriak watch out, watch outttt! Dan untungnya, walaupun hampir menabrak beberapa orang, aku bisa berhenti dengan selamat. Hosh, hosh..</p>
<p>Aku langsung bingung dan melihat ke bagian course pro. Ternyata, kita harus meluncur ke kiri dan ke kanan bergantian agar kecepatannya tidak terlalu kencang. Yosh, berbekal kesimpulan itu, akhirnya aku mencoba lagi dan kali ini lumayan berhasil <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Aku lebih bisa mengendalikan kecepatan. Dan tampaknya teman-teman yang lain juga cukup kesulitan untuk menguasai ski ini. Dari pengalamanku, jika kamu pernah bermain ice skating, itu cukup membantu untuk belajar bermain ski.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="2012-01-22 12.05.36" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-01-22-12.05.36-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Setelah bosan di lintasan pemula, kita berenam berencana pergi ke lintasan paling tinggi. Bukan bermaksud gaya, tapi cuma ingin mencoba Sky Lift sekaligus melihat pemandangan dari puncak. Akhirnya berdua bersama Yudis, kita kloter pertama yang naik lift. Tapi setelah menunggu sekian lama, kita bingung kenapa yang lain belum datang. Sambil menunggu kita foto-foto dulu di puncak. Tapi ketika akan turun naik lift, kita panik karena ternyata lift itu hanya untuk searah naik dan hanya kasus khusus yang boleh turun menggunakan lift itu. Glek.. Padahal lintasan ski dari atas itu curam sekali, lihat deh fotonya..</p>
<div id="attachment_885" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-large wp-image-885" title="Advanced Course" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-01-22-15.44.29-500x375.jpg" alt="Advanced Course" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Lihatlah, betapa kecil orang-orang di ujung sana.. @_@ </p></div>
<p>Akhirnya aku mencoba turun sedikit dan hasilnya fatal. Aku tidak bisa berbelok kiri kanan karena kemiringannya cukup tinggi. Hasilnya aku meluncur kencang dan memutuskan menjatuhkan diri agar bisa berhenti, akibatnya tulang rusukku dan pergelangan tangan kanan lumayan sakit. Dan, kita akhirnya memutuskan berjalan pelan-pelan kebawah sambil pegangan pagar -.- Tapi karena di sekeliling kita pada jago (ya iyalah, lintasan advanced gitu lho T.T), kita jadi mencolok perhatian dan didatangi petugas patroli. Kita disuruh memakai papan ski kita. Karena tidak punya pilihan lain, akhirnya kita menurut dan langsung jatuh -.- Petugasnya pun menyerah dan menyuruh kita jalan sambil mereka membawakan papan ski kita. Fiuh, karena papan ski kita dibawakan, kita bisa berjalan kebawah dengan lebih mudah. Bayangkan orang bermain ski memakai tongkat, tapi jalan kaki, begitulah nasib kita waktu berjalan turun ^^;;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="Snowboard!" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SAM_0194-500x281.jpg" alt="Snowboard!" width="500" height="281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Next time will be snowboard?</p></div>
<p>Dan, peristiwa itu menutup pengalaman ski kita hari itu <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Besoknya, kita semua pada tepar di kamar hotel ^^;;</p>
<p>Ah, lain kali jadi pengen nyoba Snow Board, sepertinya jauh lebih keren <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Moga-moga bisa kesampaian deh <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Salah satu komponen penting dalam membuat resolusi yang sering dilupakan seseorang adalah mereview bagaimana hasilnya pada akhir tahun.  Nah, sepertinya tidak ada waktu yang lebih tepat lagi untuk mereview resolusi selain pada tanggal 31 Desember bukan? Let&#8217;s see..<span id="more-862"></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/resolusi-2011.htm">Resolusi 2011</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Menurunkan berat badan</strong><br />
Tahun lalu resolusi ini gagal total, bukannya turun malah naik -_- Tahun ini harus lebih baik. Minimal mendekati angka 70 deh ^^</p></blockquote>
<p>Hmmm.. Sebenarnya pada saat ke Korea kemarin, resolusi ini sudah tercapai sih, beratku mencapai 70 koma. Tapiiii, berhubunga waktu balik ke Indonesia aku muntab dan makan abis-abisan, balik lagi deh ke arah 75 -_- Yah, anggap saja sedikit berhasil deh ^^;;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Melunasi cicilan-cicilan</strong><br />
Yup, punya tanggungan itu nggak enak. Moga-moga dikasih rezeki buat ngelunasin cicilan-cicilan</p></blockquote>
<p>Beberapa cicilan lunas, anggap saja lumayan berhasil juga ^^;;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Terus mengurangi tanggungan bapak</strong><br />
Tetap semangat! I won’t be here without my father ^^</p></blockquote>
<p>Still a long way, but it&#8217;s progressing <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Hidup lebih sehat</strong><br />
Mengingat almarhum bapak mempunyai sakit jantung, alangkah baiknya jika aku melakukan langkah preventif dengan lebih banyak makan sayur, mengurangi makanan berkolesterol, mengurangi konsumsi garam dan cabe serta berolahraga lebih teratur ^^</p></blockquote>
<p>Failed.. Bahkan aku merasa jantungku akhir-akhir ini terasa aneh.. <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mempunyai kebun cabe</strong><br />
Resolusi dadakan yang terinspirasi oleh mahalnya harga cabe di pasar =)) Sepertinya sedikit terhambat oleh tebalnya ilalang di belakang rumah -_-</p></blockquote>
<p>Nah, forget it -_-</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Menerapkan ajaran Kiyosaki pada beberapa bidang</strong><br />
Sok-sokan, padahal belum baca bukunya langsung =)) Tapi sepertinya ajarannya lumayan bagus dan layak untuk dicoba</p></blockquote>
<p>Anggap saja berhasil <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mempunyai usaha baru</strong><br />
Mulai dari Warnet, Multiplayer Game, Kebab sampai Pisang Goreng, itu ide-ide yang sempat mampir di benakku tahun lalu. Tapi list tadi nggak ada yang bisa direalisasikan karena macam-macam faktor ^^;; Moga-moga tahun ini bisa terwujud</p></blockquote>
<p>Gagal, bahkan aku harus menutup usaha lamaku ^^;; But we growth by experience, so expect next year will be a better year <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mewujudkan target-target blog</strong><br />
Yosh, semangat!!  (The target is in <a href="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/blog-resolution-2011.htm">this post</a> ~<em>private post</em>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Gyah, aku baru inget ada posting ini -_- Tapi sebagian besar tercapai lah <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Menempati rumahku sendiri</strong><br />
Walau rumah sudah jadi, tapi sampai sekarang aku masih ngekos karena masih kosongan rumahnya ^^ Moga-moga tahun ini sudah bisa tinggal di rumah sendiri</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, i already lived there, safe and sound! <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mensukseskan projek Audio Model pertama di kantor</strong><br />
Kalau kata teman saya, projek ini menyangkut hajat hidup lebih dari 20 ribu orang, jadi kalau diniatin sepertinya bisa dapat banyak pahala</p></blockquote>
<p>Um.. No comment deh yang ini ^^;;</p>
<p>Done.. Resolusi merupakan salah satu cara agar hidupmu lebih terarah dan kamu tidak menyesali apa yang telah terjadi pada hidupmu di akhir suatu tahun <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Bagaimana dengan resolusimu ^^?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past 3 months in Korea was pretty rough for me due to some personal issues. That&#8217;s why i planned some trips when i go back to Indonesia at the 10th December, since  i only got 3 weeks before i must go back to Korea at the beginning of the 2012.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-806" title="DSCN1570" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1570-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></p>
<p>Well.. If everything going according to the plan, next Saturday i will go back to Indonesia. Yippie! And maybe this is the perfect time to post my journey in here. Since i already couple of times went here, i&#8217;m rarely going out because i already visited most of the place. But this time, there&#8217;s a place that i have yet to visit, <strong>Nami Island</strong> or <strong>Namiseom</strong>! Namiseom is a tiny half-moon shaped island located in Chuncheon, South Korea, formed as it was inundated by the rising water of the North Han River as the result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam in 1944. You can read the details in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namiseom" target="_blank">here</a>.<span id="more-799"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-848" title="Korea-Nami-Winter-Sonata" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Korea-Nami-Winter-Sonata.jpg" alt="Korea-Nami-Winter-Sonata" width="450" height="600" /></p>
<p>Anyway, Nami Island is getting really popular because the famous Korean Drama, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Sonata" target="_blank">Winter Sonata</a>, is taken place there. Since the drama getting a high rate, this island also got many visitor as well. The island itself, thanks to the view, is a really nice place for a couple or a family to visit and take a walk. However, if you live in Suwon, the trip to Nami Island is kinda long. We going out from the hotel around 10.30 and we arrive at the nearest train station on Nami at 12.45. After resting a while and walk to the port, we arrived at 13.30.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-805" title="DSCN1565" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1565-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /><br />
The walk started here!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-807" title="DSCN1575" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1575-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /><br />
When i saw this for the first time, i&#8217;m starting to hesitate ^^;;</p>
<p>Actually there are two ways to go into Nami Island, by the Ferry and by the Zip-Wire. The second option is a lot more expensive, but we decided to try it out while we&#8217;re here. The Zip-Wire&#8217;s queue is quite long. The guy there said that we should wait until 15.00 before our turn arrive. So, we take a little walk around the port and eat our lunch pack.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-808" title="DSCN1577" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1577-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /><br />
The infamous Zip-Wire</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-809" title="DSCN1587" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1587-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
This is the main port, the ferry depart from here. It&#8217;s a lot cheaper!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-800" title="2011-10-30 13.30.09" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-10-30-13.30.09-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
38,000 won, yeah i know, it&#8217;s <del>quite</del> expensive -_-</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-801" title="2011-10-30 13.33.36" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-10-30-13.33.36-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
Put your name and they will call you when it&#8217;s your turn</p>
<p>And here we go! It&#8217;s quite terrifying because i got a little phobia of the high place. But it turns out it&#8217;s not that scary. The ride is nice, however, it feels too short, only 30 seconds ride compared to the 1.5 hours of waiting time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-802" title="2011-10-30 14.48.05" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-10-30-14.48.05-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /><br />
The zip wire started here!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-803" title="2011-10-30 15.05.41" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-10-30-15.05.41-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /><br />
And ended here. Good job! Says the man..</p>
<p>Ah, actually i want her to take my picture when i landed, but somehow my zip-wire is a lot faster, is it because of my weigh..? -_-;; Anyway, we&#8217;re here on the Nami Island. Well, let&#8217;s the picture do the talks here <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Believe it or not, i think the boat almost drowned when we depart from the bay -_-;;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-813" title="DSCN1617" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1617-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />

This is the xxx (enter a tree name here) road, i should really brought back the brochure</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-811" title="DSCN1599" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DSCN1599-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />

You can rent various kind of bicycle here, including the one on the picture</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-804" title="2011-10-30 15.35.20" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-10-30-15.35.20-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
You got plenty of room for your family here</p>
<p>We decide to go home at 18.00, but then a problem arise, the ferry queue is reaching the middle of the island -_-;; So we must wait and walked slowly on the queue until 19.00 before we enter the Ferry. We got the 20.00 train and arrived at the Suwon Station at 22.45. After getting some food, we finally arrive at our hotel at 23.45. And you can guess, i&#8217;m having a hard time on Monday ^^;;  Anyway, if you wanna go to the Nami Island on Autumn, the best time is around the third week of October. Later than that, most of the leaves already gone. Indonesia, here i come!^^</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just found a piece of text note on my laptop which dated way back on 2009. And somehow after read it, i just want to posted here along with Kate Perry&#8217;s song that coincidentally has the same title, <strong>The One That Got Away</strong>.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ahha3Cqe_fk" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe><br />
<span id="more-843"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>In your life, you&#8217;ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There&#8217;s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you&#8217;re with&#8230;and the one that got away.</p>
<p>Who is the one that got away? I guess it&#8217;s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn&#8217;t fall the right way, I suppose.</p>
<p>I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little nice ties of giddy romance.</p>
<p>How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you&#8217;re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn&#8217;t matter who you&#8217;re with, it just doesn&#8217;t work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you&#8217;re not ready and it shows. It&#8217;s not that you and the person you&#8217;re with are no good; it&#8217;s just that it&#8217;s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact</p>
<p>Then one day you&#8217;re ready. You really are. And when this happens you&#8217;ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it&#8217;ll work because you&#8217;re ready. It&#8217;ll work because it&#8217;s the right time and you&#8217;ll make it work. And it&#8217;ll make sense, it really will.</p>
<p>So that day comes when you&#8217;re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you&#8217;ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there&#8217;s no telling when this day will come.</p>
<p>Hopefully you&#8217;re single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn&#8217;t matter. All you know is that you&#8217;ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You&#8217;ll think about them because you&#8217;ll wonder, &#8220;What if they were here today?&#8221; You&#8217;ll wonder, &#8220;What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what the one that got away is, the biggest &#8220;What if?&#8221; you&#8217;ll have in your life.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re married, you&#8217;ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you&#8217;re mature enough to realize that you&#8217;re already with the one you&#8217;re with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it.Sure, you&#8217;ll think about him/her every so often, but it&#8217;s alright. It&#8217;s never nice to live with a &#8220;might have been,&#8221; but it happens&#8230; Maybe the one that got away is the one who&#8217;s already married. In which case it&#8217;s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you&#8217;re old and gray and reminiscing. But if neither of that is the case, then it&#8217;s different.</p>
<p>What do you do if it&#8217;s not yet too late? Simple&#8230;find him, find her. Because the very existence of a &#8220;one that got away&#8221; means that you&#8217;ll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You&#8217;d be surprised, you just might be &#8220;the one that got away&#8221; as well for the person who is your &#8220;the one that got away.&#8221; You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won&#8217;t make a difference.</p>
<p>If the timing is finally right, it&#8217;ll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I&#8217;m thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, &#8220;Hey you, you&#8217;re the one that almost got away.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-825" title="10000400134" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/10000400134.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="420" /></p>
<p>Akhirnya tiba juga kita penghujung tahun 2011. Tahun yang menurut saya penuh gejolak hidup bagaikan grafik IHSG ^^;; Setengah tahun pertama bagaikan masa keemasan saya dan setengah tahun kedua giliran berbagai macam duka yang melintas. Tapi karena tema kali ini adalah tentang entrepreneur, duka saya pada semester kedua tahun ini adalah karena saya harus kehilangan dua usaha saya yang sudah saya rintis beberapa lama.</p>
<p><span id="more-818"></span>Salah satu usaha yang harus kututup adalah sebuah blog yang sudah well-established. Pendapatannya mungkin hanya sekitar 8% dari pendapatan total saya sebulan. Tapi itu sudah cukup untuk bisa memberikan sebuah pekerjaan kepada seorang teman. Sayangnya, beberapa bulan yang lalu Google Adsense membanned situs itu, sehingga untuk kedua kalinya dalam tahun ini saya pun harus mempensiunkan seseorang.</p>
<p>Cukup shock sebenarnya.. Karena saya merasa tidak melanggar ToS dan selalu berada di jalur putih (banyak rekan-rekan publisher indonesia yang menggunakan Black Hat Technique, but let&#8217;s not talk about that).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Entrepreneur" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Entrepreneur-500x373.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="373" /></p>
<p>Selain itu, blog ini merupakan salah satu blog yang saya proyeksikan menjadi masa depan usaha blog saya. Saya memulai blog ini sejak sekitar 2-3 tahun lalu dan baru saja membuahkan hasil tahun ini. Blog ini ibarat sebuah bibit tanaman yang dipupuk dan dirawat sampai menjadi pohon besar yang berbuah, tetapi akhirnya harus ditebang. Jadi hal ini membuat saya lumayan terpukul. Itulah sebabnya saya selalu berusaha keras untuk menciptakan usaha yang tidak bergantung kepada pihak ketiga.</p>
<p>Dan, sebenarnya saya sudah berhasil menciptakan usaha itu. Yap! Sejak tahun lalu (2010) saya mendirikan sebuah usaha kecil -kecilan yang berkembang menjadi lumayan besar. Bahkan akhirnya menjadi salah satu sumbangsih utama pendapatan saya tahun ini, mencapai 20 %. Bahkan pada awal tahun ini saya sempat berpikir untuk resign, melanjutkan S2 sambil terus mengembangkan usaha ini. </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="entrepreneur-blogs" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/entrepreneur-blogs.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="287" /></p>
<p>Usaha ini bisa dibilang merupakan langkah riil pertama saya yang memberanikan saya mengubah kata-kata calon entrepreneur menjadi entrepreneur pada halaman utama blog saya. Usaha ini memberikan banyak sekali pelajaran berharga, terutama dalam mendirikan sebuah usaha. Saya mendapatkan banyak sekali relasi dan pengalaman berharga. Dan sebagaimana layaknya usaha, saya juga harus menghadapi beberapa masalah, seperti penipuan dan hacking. Dan saya beruntung mempunyai <a href="http://xcute7.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">partner</a> yang sangat hebat dan melengkapi semua kekurangan saya dalam menjalankan usaha ini <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Looking forward to make a new business with her again ^^</p>
<p>Anyway, karena sesuatu hal, akhirnya saya memutuskan agar usaha ini hibernasi sampai waktu yang belum bisa ditentukan. Sayang memang, tapi terkadang kita harus membuat keputusan sulit demi kepentingan yang lebih besar. Mungkin merupakan salah satu keputusan paling sulit yang saya buat sebagai seorang entrepreneur. But live must goes on rite? <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="business-plan" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/business-plan-500x388.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="388" /></p>
<p>Tapi walaupun saya sendiri berkata seperti itu, tidak mudah jika kamu harus kehilangan dua usaha yang kamu rintis dengan susah payah dalam waktu dekat. Bahkan rencana awal saya untuk bertapa di Korea sambil menciptakan usaha baru gagal total karena saya terdistraksi oleh <a href="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/never-gonna-leave-this-bed.htm">suatu hal</a> ^^;; But i think now everything is OK. Saya siap masuk ke dalam kawah candradimuka lagi sebelum akhirnya keluar dengan sesuatu yang baru <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="86.-entrepreneur" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/86.-entrepreneur.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p>Tentu muncul pertanyaan, bagaimana cara membagi waktu dengan pekerjaan utama? Jujur saja, ini masalah utama bagi seorang pekerja kantoran yang ingin mempunyai usaha sampingan. Tapi jika anda bertanya, ini jawaban saya, sisihkan waktu yang anda pakai untuk browsing kaskus, chatting maupun facebook, maka anda akan kaget betapa banyak waktu yang bisa anda dapat <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Tentu saja saya tidak berkata itu tidak penting, bahkan saya sendiri terkadang mendedikasikan beberapa jam untuk bersosialisasi lewat media-media itu. Dan tentu saja bukan hanya hal itu yang akan tersita. Waktu tidur, waktu bermain, dan waktu sosialisasi pasti akan berkurang disertai dengan meningkatnya stress. Itu semua hal yang harus dibayar jika anda ingin mencapai beberapa hal dalam waktu bersamaan.</p>
<p>Jawaban lainnya adalah delegasi. Beberapa hal yang mungkin bisa mengganggu jam kerja anda di kantor sebisa mungkin di delegasikan. Karena bagaimanapun, kita harus profesional dalam pekerjaan kita. Dan ini yang saya pelajari dari ajaran Kiyosaki ^^ Pada masa awal-awal bekerja di perusahaan saya sekarang, saya bisa mendapatkan waktu luang di tengah-tengah pekerjaan, namun sejak 2 tahun terakhir, tingkat kesibukan di kantor meningkat lumayan tajam, sehingga mau tidak mau saya harus mendelegasikan pekerjaan sampingan saya jika tidak ingin mengganggu pekerjaan utama saya. Apalagi ketika saya di Korea seperti sekarang, bahkan hampir tidak ada waktu untuk sekedar browsing, karena saya malu dengan orang sini yang selalu bekerja dengan tekun.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="entrepreneur1" src="http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/entrepreneur1.jpg" alt="" width="412" height="309" /></p>
<p>And yeah, to do this you have to got a quite mental strength, otherwise you will get stressed, a lot.. But if you managed to do it, i think like the picture above, you will be a strong person who can made a difference. I guess that&#8217;s all folks, been keeping this on my mind for quite some time, but didn&#8217;t have the moment to pour it out. Let&#8217;s enjoy our last month of the year! <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>You push me, I don&#8217;t have the strength to<br />
Resist or control you<br />
So take me down, take me down</p>
<p>You hurt me but do I deserve this?<br />
You make me so nervous<br />
Calm me down, calm me down</p>
<p>Wake you up in the middle of the night to say<br />
I will never walk away again<br />
I&#8217;m never gonna leave this bed<br />
<span id="more-792"></span><br />
So come here and never leave this place<br />
Perfection of your face<br />
Slows me down, slows me down</p>
<p>So fall down, I need you to trust me<br />
Go easy, don&#8217;t rush me<br />
Help me out, why don&#8217;t you help me out?</p>
<p>Wake you up in the middle of the night to say<br />
I will never walk away again<br />
I&#8217;m never gonna leave this bed</p>
<p>So you say go, it isn&#8217;t worth it<br />
And I say no, it isn&#8217;t perfect<br />
So I stay and still<br />
I&#8217;m never gonna leave this bed</p>
<p><strong>Take it, take it all, take all that I have</strong><br />
<strong> I&#8217;d give it all away just to get you back</strong><br />
<strong> And fake it, fake it, I&#8217;ll take what I can get</strong></p>
<p>Knocking so loud<br />
Can you hear me yet?<br />
Try to stay awake<br />
But you can&#8217;t forget</p>
<p>Wake you up in the middle of the night to say<br />
I will never walk away again<br />
I&#8217;m never gonna leave this bed</p>
<p>You say go, it isn&#8217;t worth it<br />
And I say no, it isn&#8217;t perfect<br />
So I stay and still<br />
I&#8217;m never gonna leave this bed</p>
<p>Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have<br />
Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have</p>
<p>Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have<br />
Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have</p>
<p>Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have<br />
Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have</p>
<p>Take it, take it all<br />
Take all that I have</p>

It&#8217;s already more than a month since i went back to Suwon, South Korea. And here i  go, got another autumn in here.. ^^ I won&#8217;t talk much in this post. Maybe this post just a teaser for myself to help me start write on this blog again.. Lately, a lot have going on in here.. But the most important thing that happened to me here is dealing with my own karma.</p>
<p><span id="more-780"></span>I hurt several women in the last few years.. And somehow, it&#8217;s all coming back to me lately ^^;; I&#8217;m forced to felt what&#8217;s they feel when i hurt them. And i realize that maybe this is my redemption.. And if you wondering, i already ask their forgiveness and they  forgave me.. But i guess the guilt is still staying there.. So, i felt kinda relieved when i got these karma.. Sure it&#8217;s hurt, but it helps me to move on without any burden..</p>
<p>And, i should thanks several people who helped me go through these.. Starting from <a href="http://gusman-dp.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-first-imax-experience.html">him</a> for always listening my stories ^^ <a href="http://glowandflow.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/2077/">Her</a> for giving me the healthy advice, it really help gain my sense at that day ^^ <a href="http://paramitopia.com/blog/2011/10/when-i-am-old-one-day/">Her</a>, won&#8217;t talk much here, but thanks for everything ^^ And especially <a href="http://xcute7.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/garbage/">her</a>.. Thank you for always be there for me.. It really means a lot to me..</p>
<p>Well, enough for the gloomy mood. The (hopefully soon) next post will be about the Nami island ^^ Just went there last Sunday and i think it&#8217;s a really beautiful place in the autumn..  Ciao!</p>

<p>Hello there.. Quite a time since i wrote something on this blog. Actually, there&#8217;s many thing that happen in my life recently, but most of them is something that you can call bad news. Well, that&#8217;s that. Don&#8217;t wanna take anyone into the my own misery. Let&#8217;s just hope that tomorrow will be better than today <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

Anyway, i wanna share a song which i really fond lately. It&#8217;s from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_City">Owl City</a>, a music group which consist only one person, <strong>Adam Young</strong>. He started this group while he is suffering from Imsomnia on his basement. He also has Asperger&#8217;s Syndrome, which make him socially introvert but has such a large vocabulary (which is good for making lyrics). In this song, he is performing together with <strong>Breanne Düren</strong> (i really love her voice!). Enough the talk, here you go, <strong>~ The Saltwater Room ~</strong></p>

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light<br />
Walking down by the bay on the shore<br />
Staring up at the stars that aren&#8217;t there anymore<br />
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold</p>
<p>So like an introvert, I drew my over shirt<br />
Around my arms and began to shiver violently<br />
Before you happened to look and see the tunnels all around me<br />
Running into the dark underground</p>
<p>All the subways around create a great sound<br />
To my motion fatigue, farewell with your ear to a seashell<br />
You can hear the waves in underwater caves<br />
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room</p>
<p>Time together isn&#8217;t ever quite enough<br />
When you and I are alone, I&#8217;ve never felt so at home<br />
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?<br />
Only time, only time</p>
<p>Can you believe that the crew has gone?<br />
And they wouldn&#8217;t let me sign on<br />
All my islands have sunk in the deep<br />
And I can hardly relax or even oversleep</p>
<p>When I feel warm with your hand in mine<br />
When we walk along the shoreline<br />
I guess we&#8217;ll never know why sparrows love the snow<br />
We&#8217;ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow</p>
<p>So tell me darling, do you wish we&#8217;d fall in love?<br />
Yeah, all the time, all the time</p>
<p>Time together isn&#8217;t ever quite enough<br />
When you and I are alone, I&#8217;ve never felt so at home<br />
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?<br />
Only time, only time</p>
<p>When we&#8217;re apart what ever are you thinking of?<br />
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?<br />
So tell me darling, do you wish we&#8217;d fall in love?<br />
All the time, all the time</p>
<p>Time together isn&#8217;t ever quite enough<br />
When we&#8217;re apart what ever are you thinking of?<br />
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?<br />
So tell me darling, do you wish we&#8217;d fall in love?<br />
All the time, oh, all the time

Setelah 10 hari mudik ke Surabaya, akhirnya minggu kemarin saatnya kembali ke rumah Cikarang. Badan penat nan capek ketika memasuki halaman rumah. Yang pertama kulakukan setelah tiba adalah mengecek kondisi ayamku, apakah mereka sudah wafat atau masih survive hehehe.. Dan ternyata mereka masih sehat-sehat aja, tapi dalam kondisi kehausan soalnya beberapa tempat minum yang sudah kusiapin ternyata pada ngguling ga karuan -_-</p>
<p>Selesai mengurus ayam, saatnya mengurus taman yang kering sentosa diterpa hawa panas Cikarang. Selang pun kutancapkan ke keran depan, dan di sinilah rumahku mulai ngambek.. Mungkin karena ototku terlalu kuat *halah*, kerannya tiba-tiba putus dan naasnya potongan kerannya masih tertinggal di pipa air. Sebenarnya sih aku punya keran cadangan, tapi sebelum bisa memasang keran baru, aku harus bisa mengambil potongan keran yang tertinggal.</p>
<p>Berbagai metode pun kugunakan, mulai dari menggunakan obeng dan palu untuk memaksa sisa keran memutar, menggunakan tang yang dibuka didalam pipa sambil diputar sampai membakar kerannya memakai korek (ini udah mulai frustasi). Menyerah, akhirnya sementara keran depan kubuntu pake kayu agar keran kamar mandi bisa mengalir. </p>
<p>Keesokannya, rumahku berulah lagi, tiba-tiba kusen pintu depan memuai sehingga pintu kayu bagian depan tidak bisa ditutup -_- Akhirnya sambil menamu ke tetangga depan, aku minta nomer telpon tukang yang sedang bekerja di rumah itu. Setelah 2 hari bekerja, akhirnya beres juga masalah-masalah tadi. Untuk masalah potongan keran, ternyata solusinya memakai gergaji saudara-saudara, never thought of it ^^;; Sedangkan untuk masalah pintu kayu, solusinya memang sudah jelas, yakni harus di tipisin pintunya. Ah, lega akhirnya kelar juga..</p>
<p>Moral of the story: Sediakan nomer hape tukang yang bisa dipercaya di dalam handphone anda ^^</p>
