the very best that I can be.
To do the work that’s gotta be done,
I’ll find a job that’s lots of fun.

When I grow up to pay the rent,
I might just be the president.
A doctor or a nurse I’ll be,
just choosin’ what comes natur’lly.

CHORUS

I’m free, free to be me! I’m free, free to be me!
Anything I want to be, I’m free, free to be me!

When I grow up I’ll get a gig.
It might be small, it might be big.
It’s a land of opportunity
in a world of possibility.

An astronaut can go to the moon,
a security guard can sleep till noon.
A farmer works all day in the corn,
a cab driver gets to honk his horn.

CHORUS

I wanna be a banker,
I wanna be a lawyer,
I wanna be a barber,
I wanna be a teacher,
I wanna be a preacher,
I wanna star in a double feature.

Whether it’s finding accommodations, researching good restaurants, attractions, events, or festivals.

The next time I go to Jakarta, I’d like to:

  • check out antiques at Jalan Surabaya,
  • sip a good cup of coffee at Kopi Tiam,
  • visit Bandung,
  • sing at a Karaoke,
  • read some Indonesian books,
  • go to art galleries,
  • attend meetups,
  • watch Formula 1 Grand Prix live on television,
  • go to concerts.

Will add as more ideas come too mind.

Sort of. The old one, which was hosted at Dreamhost, suddenly disappeared without warning. With it also went away countless insignificant posts written by a fictional character called Crafted Packets.

So, what’s new? First, this one is on an AWS EC2 instance. It was a micro one, and I am taking advantage of their free tier program (a micro instance AMI, a maximum of 750 hours per month usage, et cetera).

Secondly, I created the theme myself. If it isn’t obvious enough, it was inspired by the Facebook Developer blog’s layout. This is a blue and white, 3-columns, fixed-width (900 pixels wide) layout with the spirit of minimalism and revolution. I made up the “revolution” part. I don’t think this is worthy of submission to the WordPress Theme Directory, and I think I’ll save myself from any cease and desists.

Third, there’s no third. That’s it.

I’m not a writer, but I hope to post more content to this blog. If not useful content, at least funny ones. I tweet more than I blog. My timeline is on the second column over there. →

Until next time!
