Something that I learned that internet is a place. But where is it? Hmmm.. Some people may say that internet is just wires or connected computers. But I'm sure it's more than that. Internet is a created place. Internet is more than just a technical stuff. There's human interaction and socialize within. Within? Yeah, it's a place.. But I don't know exactly where the internet is. In our mind? Is it a fantasy? Computers? or where?

Why did I say it's a place? Because we always say "VISIT my website or blog". We don't say Visit our movie or visit my music. Visit refers to a place.

Any idea?

From blog to books? It happened... From blog to newspaper? Why not? or perhaps newspaper contributor?

Take a look of this and this.. Some Riau journalists stumbled at my blog and asked permission to publish my blog writings on their daily newspaper   They've recently published two of my writings in 2 days... Thanks to Kak Arief for the screen shot from Indonesia

Actually, there was an invitation around end of last year asking for graduated diploma students to come to a graduation ceremony which will be held on April 26, which is last week. Since the invitation come, I feel not willing to come. First reason is because I'm lazy enough to come, secondly I was assuming there wouldn't be anything special happen to me and thirdly it's only my diploma.

Back a year ago I started my Diploma on March 7, 2004 after finishing my high school on 2003. I completed my diploma exactly on September 25, 2004 which was roughly 8 months. It was a hard task going and experiencing new things. New language, culture, living behaviour, study behaviour and many more. But it has been my mind encouraging me to find and experience new things and challenge. So, I chose to just come along with it. At the beginning of the study, I failed my assignments several times, not just once. I almost desperate and not willing to continue. But luckily I have someone to give me such an amazing support.. And not forgetting my God

Back to the graduation thing last week. After the graduation finished at around 9pm, several of my friends congratulated me through MSN and it was a sad moment for me for not being in that graduation ceremy. If only the school told me before the graduation, maybe I would come

Heheh but it's ok. I just say Alhamdulillah for that. I got 5 certificates for several achievements and a voucher value 100 bucks to buy goods at the Curtin Uni Bookshop. I though they were going to give me Digital camera Canon EOS 20D yeah, I wish mate... Well, at least we can say that Indonesians are not that bad
Hmm still going ups and downs in the uni now. Hope it will end soon and get on new things. My plan is to move away from Perth. Maybe going east of Australia or maybe outside of Australia. But still long time to go at least until end of next year Hope everything will be ok....

Catch you up later

What comes to your mind when heard the word "DUNLOP"?

I absolutely guess that what comes to your minds are tyres, sport apparels, shoes, sneakers, tongs, and so on...

Apparently, apart from those products and sub products or usually a marketer will call it product extension or line product, Dunlop has made another product which is FOOD or frozen food to be exact. see this and this.

But they didn't stay longer coz it was in a failure. Why did they fail? Coz they fail to make a brand extension. Hah? What dya mean?

What I mean is, when people are looking at a frozen food named DUNLOP, they probably say that "it would taste like RUBBER"...

So, be smart. Don't just produce a product. Look at your brand image. Just like Toyota. They didn't name LEXUS as a Toyota. Even LEXUS is a luxury version of Toyota which cost more than BMW or Mercedes Benz. And they chose a smart name LEXUS. No T or O or Y or A letters at all and what they get is, LEXUS brand is not a Toyota but it's a new brand comes with an excellent quality and features. That what comes to people's mind
