Yesterday I was invited by Atek to go to Pulau Putri today. He also asked me to invite the others, the more the merrier. Well, I don't know what is he up to, suddenly invite all of us.

Today's weather is sunny, it's undoubtedly a great day for playing at the beach and adventuring. Pulau Putri, I never been there before. So I did a search and I found an article that wrote about Pulau Putri.

By the way, this is my third outbound to island outside Batam. The first time was to Belakangpadang with Nengsih (her hometown), Kristian, and some of my friends (ouch, I forgot some, it was 6 years ago). The second was to Pulau Panjang with Aheng, Apek, Atek, Jimmy, Michael, Stone, and Apek's parent.

2 hours more to go there soon...

• According to Chinese Calendar, today (precisely at 11:44 UT or 18:44 West Indonesia Time which is my local time) is the middle of spring season or scientifically called Vernal Equinox. It is an astronomical event where the Sun is vertically above a point on the Equator, when duration of daytime is roughly equal to nighttime.
• Today is the first Earth Day of the year (the second Earth Day is on April 22). Wow, there are 2 Earth Days, I just knew it. I think only just few people know it.

Trivial things:

• Today is my last day of membership at a fitness center. Last year, my friends (Apek, Atek, Jim, Stone) and I registered and became member of Blue Horizon Fitness Center which is located at Planet Holiday Hotel, 5th floor. The reason why we chose there, well, I forgot. Even we (I think only myself) don't seem to be so fit enough, but during those days we had lotsa fun, and done some crazy things. Today we decided to go there for the last time (don't know when we will be there again), and will be taken some photos for memento.
• Today is the last day that we (yes, we again: Apek, Atek, Jim, Stone, and me) supposed to be prepared all stuff, because we have planned to go traveling tomorrow. But, due to some lame reason, 2 persons can't go. It's postponed to the next few months.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Hello world! Welcome to my first post.

First of all, I'd like to introduce myself to you. My name is axing (my real name is just lame, forget about it). I have started blogging since November 2006 on my old blog (新の空) which was using Blogger blog service.

Today is my second blogging anniversary (since 新の空). So many thoughts come to mind and I gonna write them down in this post, hmm... just a little bit more texts. Please don't get bored while reading.

Long ago before I knew about blog, I used to think about something that I want to keep and share it. One day in April 2006, I found an interesting article which was introducing about "Weblog" from an IT magazine. I started to get interested to it and wanted to have it right away. At first I was a little confuse in choosing which one is the best blog service, since there were so many of them have been spread on internet. Eventually I chose Blogger. The why I chose it was because it easy to use, on-the-fly blog posting, it could either use GMail account or other email account to sign up, its popularity and some recommendation from my friends.

When the first time I started my blog without any knowledge about what exactly the blog is, I began sticking on the internet as long as I could to learn about how do the peoples write their blog, what do they doing on their blog, why do they blogging in any way, ... . Truly, blogging has completely changed my life style. Because of it, I've learned how to write and share my life experience, knowledge, and thoughts.

Last August, I was considering about to create my own website. Then I bought my personal domain, http://xing.web.id/. I ceased blogging on my old blog and continue writing on my brand new blog on my website. I pick Wordpress as my blog management system, since it's open source, customizable, extensible, and it has a lot of plugins to enhance.

Next task, template. Most time I had wasted was looking for the template which is looked good, simple and minimized. Eventually I found this template. I have been tweaking this template, so if you found any error, I am sorry.

By the way, as you can see the Wordpress default welcome note on the top of this post, I didn't delete it because it looked somewhat meaningful in some way (as well as the default comment).

That's all of my first post. Thanks for your reading.
