another BBQ and Bowling on weekend

Udah lama ga update pake bahasa Indonesia. Sekali2 pake dah mumpung masi ingat bahasanya

Sabtu, 28 juni 2008.

Hari ini diundang sama temen kantor untuk pesta BBQ. BBQ nya sebenernya tujuannya untuk pegawai baru bareng2 gitu. Nah terus di bagian gue ada 1 orang pegawai baru juga. Gue diajak ama dia. Sebenernya rada ga enak juga soalnya kan yang laen pada pegawai baru semua. Terus gue juga satu2 nya orang asing. Jadi istilahnya sebagai status orang asing dan pegawai kontrak gue nyusup ke BBQ nya anak2 baru hahaha.

Kali ini adalah BBQ ke-3 gue di Jepang. Berhubung kebanyakan ngobrol jadi makannya ga gitu banyak. Pas mau makan uda mau abis semua gitu makanannya hehehe. Maklum yang ngumpul sekitar 30-an orang. Semuanya pada masih muda2 (fresh graduate sma dan universitas). So hampir semua nya disitu umurnya di bawah gue semua.

Pas di tengah2 hujan rintik2 turun, tapi ya ga batal dong jadi lanjut terus. Lumayan banyak dapat kenalan baru hari ini. Setelah BBQ sekitar 15-an orang termasuk gue lanjut maen ke tempat bowling. Kali ini adalah bowling ke 2 gue di jepang. Tapi emang dasarnya gue kaga bisa maen hahah bolanya nyelonong mulu ke pinggiran. oh iya jadi kita maen dibagi2 tim gitu. Gue ga ngerti itungannya gimana tapi tim yang kalah itu harus melakukan sesuatu yang menarik bagi kita semua gitu. kali itu tim yang kalah bikin pose aneh2 di depan lane bowlingnya (tujuannya biar diliat orang laen semua). wuah untung gue ga termasuk di tim yang kalah deh ^^.

Pas seblon ke bowling, kenalan gue di tempat volunteer deket tempat tinggal sms gue ajakin dinner bareng. tapi telat banget kasi taunya jadi ga bisa de. oh iya ama orang bagian general affair di kantor juga katanya lagi nonton jazz di deket tempat tinggal gue jadinya dia bilang kalo ada waktu pengen ketemu. Berhubung lagi ke bowling jadi 2 2 nya ga bisa ketemu.

Anyway pas pulang2 uda malam banget dan turun hujan dimana ga bawa payung lagi jadinya kehujanan deh. Kehujanannya si sebenernya uda dari sore seh. Sampe2 di rumah uda sekitar jam 11.30 malam. but overall a very very nice and good weekend.

Minggu, 29 Juni 2008

Minggu lalu pas ikutan yoga gitu ketemu orang jepang terus diajak ke gereja gitu. Bukannya berarti gue kristen seh tapi berhubung pengen liat juga gereja di jepang seperti apa jadinya gue setuju ikut. Nah seharusnya perginya hari ini. Tapi ternyata sabtu malamnya dia batalin soalnya ada urusan kerjaan.

Untung juga se dibatalin kalo engga cape juga badan soalnya abis pulang malam harus pergi lagi pagi2. Ujung2nya jadi hari ini pergi ke nagoya buat shopping. Dapat 2 baju kaos yang ada kerah ama 1 baju t-shirt gitu. Yang T-shirt belinya di toko baju bekas. Terus tadinya uda mau beli sepatu tuh tapi sialnya ga ada yang baru. Padahal uda naksir. pas dipake gitu. yang kanan ama kiri, berhubung yang di display yang bagian kanan. pas dibandingin ama yang kiri rada loose gitu. jadinya ga jadi beli.

Abis itu mampir ke toko gitar buat beli perlengkapan maintanance gitar gue. ow dan hari ini liat juga akhirnya gibson asli dipajang. harganya hampir 700.000 yen. which is one of the most expensive guitar in the world.

Okay that’s the end of my weekend this time.

asynchronous client callback with parameter

Background

The last time I put an entry in IT related categories is about asynchronous callback. This time I also trying to cover this things a little bit further. You can read my previous entry about this here

In my last post, the method only support 1 action, means if you have several button to activate different type of callback inside 1 page, it can’t be done with my previous way. This post will show you how to send different kind of parameter to enrich the callback

Code

.cs file

string cbref = Page.ClientScript.GetCallbackEventReference(this,”arg”,”result”,”",true);
string callbackscript = “function callserver(arg){“+cbref+”;}”;
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),”callback”,callbackscript,true);

//to assign it to a button
Button1.Attributes["onClick"] += “javascript:callserver(’set your argument here’)”;
Button1.Attributes["onClick"] += “;return false;”;

//Callback function
public void RaiseCallbackEvent (String eventArgument)
{
//arg is a variable which you need to define yourself
arg = eventArgument;
}

public String GetCallbackResult ()
{
return arg;
}

.aspx file (javascript part)

function result (arg)
{
if (arg == “1″) // you decide your logic here based on passed arguments

}

Basically all that can be done in client side can be done in the result function, since you can control the passed argument based on the clicked button or whatever control you decided. This method proves more robust and versatile approach better than my previous method. This way you are free to control everything that’s going on on callback session based on your defined arguments.

Yoga try out experience

Yesterday there is a free yoga try out session which was held in Nagoya International Center. Since I never do anything related to yoga things, I thought “Hey maybe it’s time to soften my stiff body”. So I went there.

When the first time I enter the place I was so shocked. Almost all of them is women. The only man that I saw is only the receptionist (japanese guy) and 1 guy that looked like american who also joined the session. After a few minutes, another 2 guys come up to join the session (1 japanese and non japanese). But basically it’s a woman class LoL.

The yoga teacher is from rumania. It was very cool. Although she said the session is for beginner, my body couldn’t catch up with all the move in the exercise. The session last for about 1.5 hours. Which was a very good 1.5 hours since I rarely do any exercise. My body feel quite good after the session. Now if only I still remember some few trick move to repeat at home.

Ow talking about try out experience. This february I also had a karate try out experience. But now I already forgotten almost all the exercise move.

This is the picture taken in february

breast pudding

Only in Japan : Breast shaped pudding package.

Last month, one of my Japanese friends went to tokyo. And as a souvenir I get this breast pudding.

1st image translation :

Tokyo, a very tempting dessert, breast pudding. (this item is limited in tokyo only). Part 2 is also written, I wonder what’s the part 1 looked like)

2nd image translation :

please enjoy and taste it gently and nicely (the small japanese written part on the right side)

3rd image :

sorry folks, I have to cencored the nipples with black dots. But you guys could imagine what’s behind the censored dots LoL.

although it said to enjoy it gently but as soonest as I opened the package I brutally salvaged it in just few seconds LoL.

kacamata

udah tepat 1 minggu sejak gue bikin kacamata plus.

so far so good, pusing2 dan sakit mata karena mata terlalu dipaksakan fokus ke komputer menjadi berkurang. karena mata gue plus jadinya ga bisa liat deket. sedangkan jarak mata ke komputer bisa dibilang cukup dekat sehingga mata bekerja 2 kali lipat dibanding mata orang normal. yang akhirnya membuat stress mata semakin parah.

kaca mata yang gue bikin +1.5 (kanan) dan +1.0 (kiri). semoga saja mata gue ga tambah parah ke depannya nanti hmmmm
