Two Bodies

Hi guys.

Before having my fair share of opinions,

I'd like to applaud Radja Desain aka M. Erlangga Ratnawan for establishing this blog. This may not be the most original of ideas, but I think it's great for us to have a place to express our views on the things around us.


My friends, the last few weeks have been pretty eventful. Some chopping and changing in regard to one of our primary endeavors was undoubtedly the highlight of it all. In all fairness, the proposition offered by the back office personnel (to put in context) was quite simple: agree, then you're in; refuse, then you're out.

The impact: formal working crew numbers cut by over 50%, an emotional day, loads of rants, a few healthy debates.

Did I complain? Yes, I did for most of the first week following.
Do I still complain? Occasionally, when I feel fucked up by something -doesn't have to even be related. Well, it's bad habit anyway, I guess.

But that's not why I'm writing at 1 in the morning (bad sleeping patterns)

I just want to congratulate everyone who've had their say on the issue, be it yes, be it no, be it 'I don't give a shit'.

For those who've said yes, keep fighting for your cause! I'll definitely be on your backs to support you when you fall or meet an obstacle. Just remember, for all the assistance we can offer, the key decision-making is formally out of our hands. So guys, it's time to up the game.

For those who've said no (including me), it's time to sit back and unwind, refocus the mind on other things we've probably forgotten to emphasize on. But remember, a good portion of our classmates are sweating their pants to fulfill their objective. Let's play our part in pushing them over the finish line.

For those who don't give a shit, meet me after class at the M building. I love to take a crack in the can over there before lunch.

To wrap things up, I'd like to acknowledge something you probably already know: We're still one big team: only with different roles and responsibilities this time around.

"Friendship is one mind in two bodies" -Meng Tse

If we still have one mind, with all of the complexity and variation of experiences that constitutes it, the 'two bodies' in our class year will make sure that Comm Weekend '08 blasts off. Just remember that it's gonna be a helluva task.

Godspeed,

[telat sih] Met puasa yaa...

Bukpus HMIK

Buka Puasa HMIK 2008: Colourversity. Awalnya, gw agak kehilangan ide waktu disuruh bikin logo yang warna-warni, dan berhubungan sama puasa. Rana, Tuhan a.k.a Mr. R, ngasih gw masukan klo ada baiknya kita pake bentuk belah ketupat. Tadinya malah mau pake colour tube, tapi agak susah bikinnya. Di saat gw kehilangan ide, gw iseng-iseng buka Photoshop, dan coba-coba brush yang ada. Ajaib, tiba-tiba gw ketiban ide!

Diambil dari bentuk ketupat, gw coma terapkan warna-warni itu di ketupat, yang berarti ketupat itu adalah perpaduan warna dari berbagai warna yang sudah ada. Colourversity, perpaduan warna yang menghasilkan satu kesatuan: putih. Muncul ide buat bikin cipratan cat warna-warni, dan itu berhasil. Ok, begitulah jadinya.

*Sebenernya gw agak bingung mw ngejelasin apa, tp yang sudahlah...emang begitu keadaannya...
