Five Things You Didn't Know About Me

Norman post an interesting thing here [V], and also post in INDC GroupLeader mailing list about "five things you didn't know about me" that we should post like that too. :)

I try to be the second.

1. I'm a guitarist. Yeah baby ! I play guitar since when i was in high school. My favorite song is "Sweet Child Of Mine" from GnR. I can play that song with my close eye, and also with guitar melody too. :) I also can play keyboard a little. My favorite song is "Cinta Kan Membawamu Kembali" from Dewa 19. When i teach in university, i usually join with students music band at Saturday. We rent a music studio, and play whatever song there until we tired. :) Song for fun ! Not to being a music band. :)
2. I'm a 'Pesilat'. My first martial art organization when i was in Junior High School (or SMP) was "Tapak Suci". But only 3 years. Then, i joined Merpati Putih since 1994 when i was in High School (or SMU) until today. I really like Merpati Putih materials. It's very logic (no mantra or doa-doa) and very accelerate our body and mind. Now i'm in "Kombinasi 2" level. I will tell you in short about Merpati Putih. Merpati Putih has 12 level : Dasar 1, Dasar 2, Balik 1, Balik 2, Kombinasi 1, Kombinasi 2, Khusus 1, Khusus 2, Khusus 3, Kesegaran,Inti 1, Inti 2. Each level learned in different time and with different technique. Merpati Putih has special technique which called IGMP (not like SNMP, SMTP, FTP, or HTTP, hehehe) but "ILMU GETARAN MERPATI PUTIH". This technique only learned since Balik 2 level and become higher and pure in the next level. Merpati Putih has recently publicly released a special training program called Vibration Energy that enables human being to feel the surrounding without literary use the eyes. Today in Indonesia there are more than 5000 legally blind persons already trained with this vibration techniques. Now they can walk or head direction without any assistant, they can also physically see objects without touching almost as good as the non-visually impaired. A senior instructor of Merpati Putih, can recognize things surround him and can even read while his eyes are completely blindfolded. Objects around us generate vibrations and ILMU GETARAN MERPATI PUTIH relies on our innate ability to detect the vibrations of objects nearby. This ability or sense can be improved by practice. Visually handicapped people who have mastered the art of ILMU GETARAN MERPATI PUTIH can avoid obstacles in their path, distinguish stationary objects from moving ones, detect speed and distance, and perceive the volume of objects. Ultimately they can read and draw without using Braille. They can even read the text on a computer monitor, read the newspaper and other printed materials. All of this is done without touching the objects. Thanks to IGMP, the visually handicapped can carry out the same activities as those that normal people do and even have the ability to detect vibrations of objects nearby. Thus, ILMU GETARAN MERPATI PUTIH can improve human resources and reduce the visually handicap dependence on others. The training center, INTERNATIONAL VIBRA-VISION FOR THE NON-SEEING, has beenl opened  in early 1998 and offers an opportunity for everyone, especially the visually handicapped to join in IGMP training, which is found only in Indonesia. Not so long after CNN's exclusive report on Merpati Putih program, Oman country has expressed their enthusiasm and strong interest to send their people, particularly The Blinds, to join Merpati Putih Energy Vibration program. His excellency Dr. Omar Zawawi of Oman was very impressed to witness how Merpati Putih training can change the life of the blinds. Information about development can be found here : http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4829/develop.html. Scientific information can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4829/scientific.html. Programs can be found here : http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4829/programs.html. This is a few of my experience. In 1996, i'm only a participant in "Kejuaraan Pencak Silat Antar Pelajar se-Wilayah III Cirebon". In 1997 i got my first champion in "Kejuaraan Pencak Silat Antar Pelajar se-Wilayah III Cirebon Dalam Rangka Seleksi Porda". And i'm passed. In 1998 i'm the second champion of "Kejuaraan Pencak Silat Antar Pelajar di Bogor". In 2000 i'm the first champion of "Kejuaraan Merpati Putih se-wilayah III Cirebon". Then in 2002 i also got first champion of "Kejuaraan Daerah Perkelahian Bebas Antar Kelompok Cabang Merpati Putih se-Jawa Barat di STIE YPKP Bandung". In 2003 i got third champion of "Kejuaraan Nasional Perkelahian Bebas Merpati Putih se-Indonesia di Taman Mini Indonesia Indah". In 2005 i got third champion in "Kejuaraan Getaran Merpati Putih se-Wilayah III Cirebon". I also teach my father and my families Merpati Putih technique. Yes, my father got a diabetes (540 ! very high !). But since he learned Merpati Putih, there is no complain about his sickness again. Merpati Putih can save his life (exactly, Allah SWT save his life with Merpati Putih way) ! And now, i teach my son about Merpati Putih since he was 4 years old. My son really like to see me when i'm doing Merpati Putih style. He's trying to follow what i have done. And sometimes when he sicks (usually fever), IGMP can help me to cure him. I want him to know about theirself better (emotion, power, mind, heart, skill, endurance, knowledge, vision, etc). You can read more details here : http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merpati_putih
3. I love reading books. Yes, i have more than 1000 books from whatever sources. From novel, comics, economy, biography, technology, religy, enterpreneur, biology, and many more. I also have more than 300 CD/DVD from whatever sources. I have full collections of National Geography, BBC, NASA, Martial Arts Magazine, and many more. My dream is own more than 5000 books ! :)
4. I learned computer since in college (1997). First time i met with ... Foxpro, Clipper, then Visual Basic. And now i fully specialized only in .NET.  technology. I just want to focus in one or two technology area only. The other things should 'known only' (or do you want to learn Delphi also, Power Builder also, Java also ? Don't !!! It's stupid !). Be a specialize !
5. I have two wife. Sst.. don't follow me yah. :) hehehe
