Entah
“entah”
Don’t know how to describe it
The more I am trying to let my mind to stay calm
— that every thing is alright, that nothing is wrong —
The more restless my heart becomes
May be because I care for you too much
I can not bear to let something bad happen to you
I can not bear to see myself losing you
The one
Dream Jobs
Interesting, nice and inspiring articles from the February 2005 issue of IEEE Spectrum Magazine: Dream Jobs.
Some excerpts:
Bill Woodcock circles the world several times a year, building Internet exchanges in exotic locales; he’s the engineering adventurer he dreamed about being ever since he was a teen.
With 1.2 gigabits per second coming into his house, Woodcock has more bandwidth than most universities.
Z: While the whole Indonesian domestic bandwidth use by the end of last year is 2 GB/sec 
.
Z: But the most important thing that can be learned from this article is at its very end. Very nice.
But while Woodcock loves the travel, that isn’t the biggest satisfaction. “It sounds trite,” he says, “but the fact that I’m helping people, that the work I’m doing is making somebody’s life better somewhere, that’s the big thing.”
Others featured persons are Ian Caven (who works at home, doesn’t miss a chance to have lunch and dinner with his wife and 1 year old son, and at the same time still have to read piles of IEEE Journal, like me :-p), Dale Gardener (who travels in luxurious cruise ships around the world), or Ossi Oikarinen (one of about only 30 car engineers in the F1 circuit).
Can I also get my own (dream) job?
* while even the definition over what I would consider as the “dream job” is not very clear 
*
* note: “dream” above is parenthesized because getting a job is hard enough, let alone it be one that you are dreaming of *
