21 pt 3: Getting Back On the Road

This is a series of blog that might not end until...
II Resistance
I Genesis


It has been 2 weeks since I achieved 2 and I clearly suck, no additional proof needed.

I was in Coffee Bean Midvalley, Kuala Lumpur. After a long day, and night, I settled with a cup of coffee and a book in my hands (Iconoclast by Gregory Berns). I settled down, took a cigarette, and as my point of view shifted there she was: A beauty to behold. She had 4 friends with her, they were laughing the Tuesday night away. I took a deep breath of smoke, stood up, and walked straight at her. Facing towards my direction, she noticed me walking directly at her. My heart was jolting but I was confident and I did not hesitate to eventually clash her teasing stare. As i neared, I smiled without breaking the eye contact. Unwavering, she didnt back down herself. Standing right there within their proximity, silence engulfed the group, daggering eyes at me.

"Hi ladies, evenin'!"
*pause*
"Sorry for my intrusion but I just like to say,... uhmmm... BLAB!"
*pause with confusing looks"

BLAB!?
I just couldnt think of anything to say at all. But im glad I was just fantasizing it all. They left without me leaving my seat for 1 second.

Anyway, here we go:

3. Joyce(?) - Malaysia Air Girl waiting for her bus to hotel(she looked chinese, could this really have been her name?) I just said Hi, and then she smiled. Conversation lasted until I finished my smoke. Id say it was a good chat.

3.5 Doesnt Count - A Filipina at the departure area of the airport (used the "need-help-on-taking-your-photo-instead-of-you-taking-a-photo-of-yourself-bit".
3.6 Doesnt Count - Indian (she was pretty) asking me about cream in the grocery, somewhere in Jakarta.

4. [FAIL] Did not get the name - Not so tall, grey shirt, firm voice. As the flight was delayed 3 times, my FAIL ice-breaker was "Are you waiting for the Jakarta flight too? They delayed it again..." She went bonkers and said "Huh!? Again!?" and she walked briskly away from me to see the flight scheds on the screen. I didnt want to engage anymore. Chickened out ~.~



So thats 4 down, 17 more to go...

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

Steve Job's Speech at Stanford:



No one gets anywhere in the world being logical, intelligent, and conforming.
You have to be a kid, to make it BIG. A hungry, foolish individual that has nothing to lose.

Making My First Tribe

For those of you who dont know, i dont mean tribe by 10,000BC tribe. Im talking about Seth Godin's concept of tribes.

Yesterday, while in the taxi from a meeting, me and my colleague Tirta were discussing on so many possible partnerships with various groups/authorities. It bothered me how there were so many options, but so little resources, and so little man-hours (or woman-hours). Then it hit me!

How can you have them all, with less time, effort, and most especially, with very minimal cost?

The answer: Make a Tribe.

Ive always read/listened to materials on this concept but never really could imagine how to practically put up one. Now I think I know and my team will show you how.

Its going to be Legend-... wait for it... -... ary!

21 pt 2 : And the struggle continues

Do you know the difference between acceleration and velocity? Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration is, how fast you can go to fast from slow or stop while velocity is simply how fast.

I have almost nil acceleration. sucks.
Its been a week since my last encounter. And I have failed twice this week.

Case 1:
Tall Girl with purple dress, black skirt and loong heels. She was BB'ing all the way up to the 28th floor. We were alone in the elevator. I couldnt even say Hi.

Case 2:
Short Girl with green flowery dress on her way to the convinience store. We had eye contact. Disengaged.. Then another eye contact. As my bestrfiend always said, the 2nd eye contact is a go signal. Boo for me.

Im still 2/21. And 2010 is on a high speed chase towards me. TIck tock.
