Bandung, Ini aku!!!

Tanggal 19 October aku & istri berangkat ke Bandung untuk pernikahan Ricky adikku satu-satunya. Aku sungguh bersyukur bisa sampe ke Bandung, kota kelahiran yg penuh kenangan tanpa kurang suatu apapun. Perjalanan lancar2 ajah, cuman sedikit ngeri waktu naek mobil sewaan, yg nyetir kaya naek mobil formula One, maklum masih libur lebaran, bis Prima jasa yg biasa angkut penumpang penuh hari itu.

Bandung kota yg unik, lebih banyak tempat kumuh, lebih banyak cafe, tempat minum susu (The ranch, susu murni), banyak pilihan buat makanan sunda (yg emang makanan favorit dari kecil), kaki lima, pertokoan yg wah heboh & megah(aku sih kagum lihat yg namanya Paris Van Java, toko2 kuenya spt kartika sari, Prima Rasa, etc, koq bisa orang indo bikin seperti kaya gitu).
Acara favorit kumpul2 ama keluarga, maen basket ama keponakan, mama, cici, sodara2, temen2, etc. Aku sungguh bersyukur masih diberi nafas, kesempatan untuk liat orang2 maju dalam bisnisnya, semua anggota keluarga yg diberi kesehatan, Tuhan yg beri kami kesehatan&kekuatan sampe saat ini, makanan & minuman yg masih bisa kita nikmati, uang yg Tuhan sudah sediakan untuk kami berlibur. Tuhan sungguh baik dan luar biasa dalam hidup kami, Terpujilah Nama Tuhan!!!

Beauty of Math!

I received this in my inbox...usually I don't like fwds emails, but this one is quite nice:)

Absolutely amazing! Beauty of Math!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321


Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER
100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?



What equals 100% in life?



Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these
questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z



Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%


THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:


L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
