I’m Learning Java

2 Mar 2010

Well, it is not Javanese language but a programming language called Java (just making sure)

After last year enjoying learning C a lot, this semester I will taste (actually I’ve) Java. Java is used as a tool for us, computer students in Binus International, to understand Object-Oriented Programming (commonly abbreviated OOP).

Ketika Ke-syur-an Menjadi Tolak Ukur Film Indonesia

In: Movies & TVs

25 Feb 2010

Gerah melihat perkembangan film Indonesia. Itulah perasaan saya. Sepertinya perkembangan film Indonesia bukannya ke arah positif justru ke arah negatif. Bolehlah secara kuantitatif menunjukkan hal positif, tapi apabila tidak diiringi dengan perkembangan positif dari segi kualitas apa gunanya?

Jika dulu genre cinta menjadi trend bagi para pembuat film Indonesia, lalu disusul dengan genre horror, sekarang genre “mesum” lah yang menjadi trend. Kemesuman itu memang tidak berdiri sendiri, tetapi dikemas dalam bentuk percintaan, komedi, atau bahkan horror. Sepertinya wanita cantik berbusana minim sudah menjadi tolak ukur bagi sukses tidaknya film Indonesia dan pemikiran seperti inilah yang akan menyebabkan industri perfilman Indonesia mengalami degradasi.

Maaf Mr. Librarian Untuk Hari Ini

Ngeliat postingan blog gw yang lama di blogspot, bikin gw cuma pengen buat posting-posting santai yang isinya bener-bener bullshit

Oke, sebagai orang yang tidak ingin membuang-buang uang orangtuanya lagi untuk barang-barang yang belum tentu akan berguna untuk masa depan, gw memutuskan untuk irit soal pembelian buku teks semester ini dan seterusnya.

Semester 1 gw udah ngabisin uang gw untuk membeli semua buku teks baru kecuali Academic Writing. Gw dulu gak buru-buru ke library buat pinjem, alhasil semua buku dah dicomot-comotin deh ama student lain yang butuh. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, my blog seems to not be updated a lot these days. I am currently in a holiday state until February 22 but I do not really have a lot of free time to update my blog again. I have added few new features such as the TOP! section in the sidebar. The reason behind TOP! section is to let my readers know the most popular posts in the week. I have also changed the way people can explore my posts by using pagination. I think it will be a lot easier to surf the blog using pagination navigation system than the previous “Previous Entries” and “Next Entries”.

Another updates from my life:

The Enforcement of Smoking Ban in Indonesia

The Enforcement of Smoking Ban in Public Places

View more documents from Fiona Angelina.

English

Recently, I’ve done a roughly 2,000 words research paper to fulfill my final exam on the subject Academic English. I picked a topic about the enforcement of smoking ban in Indonesia. The objective of this essay is not to ban smoking completely, but to ban the smoking practice in certain areas which are public places.

Why I choose this topic? Because, I find it disturbing to inhale the tobacco smoke emitted by the smokers in a lot of public places. I can barely enjoy my food in a foodcourt, I have to hold by breath while walking in a certain area, etc. Smoking in Indonesia is a sort of trend. Since this practice is harmful to other people, I think government should make an act to ban smoking (this time, truly ban the smoking in public places!). Read the rest of this entry »
