Didunia ini, ada 2 macam takdir.Yang pertama adalah takdir yang tidak bisa kita ubah. Seperti takdir bahwa kitadilahirkan di keluarga yang berbeda-beda. Yang satu lagi adalah takdir yangdapat kita tentukan sesuai keinginan kita.

Ada 1 waktu dimana aku mencobamelawan takdir. Aku tahu itu bukanlah jalan yang terbaik bagiku, dan Tuhan puntelah memberikan jawabanNya kepadaku. Pernah dengar perkataan “berkumpullahdengan orang2 shaleh”? saat itu aku mengizinkan diriku untuk dihadapkan dengan2 pilihan. 2 jalan yang sangat berbeda.

Pilihan 1 adalah untukmelanjutkan SMA ku di sekolah yang sama dengan SMP ku , di sebuah sekolah Islamberstandard Internasional, jauh dari keluarga, dan diberikan pelajaran agamayang kuat layaknya di pesantren.

Pilihan ke-2 adalah untukmelanjutkan SMA di sekolah negeri walaupun tetap masuk di kelas Internasional.Tinggal bersama dengan keluarga, tetapi pelajaran agama yang diberikandisekolah sangatlah sedikit.

Di SMP ku yang dulu, setiap pagidan siang, kami diberikan pelajaran menghafal Al-Qur’an. Selain itu, kamidiberikan pula pelajaran Agama Islam yang mempelajari tantang Hadist2Rasulullah SAW.

Sedangkan di SMA negeri, kamihanya mendapatkan pelajaran Agama 1 kali seminggu, dengan frekuensi yang hanya1x45 menit. Jauh dari cukup. Pelajaran yang diberikan pun sangat lah mendasar.Kalau boleh jujur, pelajaran yang diajarkan adalah pelajaran yang telahkupelajari saat SD.

Bukan makin dekat aku denganAgama, justru tambah jauh. Aku pun melanjutkan pendidikanku di Malaysia, di sebuahdaerah yang muslimnya sangat minoritas. Dan ini berlangsung hingga sekarang.Terkadang aku rindu dengan suasana yang religius. Aku rindu menjalankan sholatberjamaah, aku rindu berbuka puasa bersama saat bulan Ramadhan.

Aku pernah nyantri selama 2minggu di sebuah pondok pesantren di jawa Tengah, di sebuah desa yang agak jauhdari perkotaan. Seperti kisah2 orangyang menjalani perjalanan spiritual. Damai adalah kata yang tepat untukmendeskripsikan perasaanku saat disana. Dimana diriku merasa jauh lebih dekatkepada Illahi. Ya, aku rindu berkumpul dengan orang2 shaleh. Aku rindudikelilingi oleh ahli2 surga.

Tapi inilah jalan yang telahkupilih. Allah SWT selalu tahu yang terbaik untuk hambanya. Dan aku telahmemilih jalan yang tidak sesuai dengan petunjukNya. Aku telah memilih jalankusendiri. Aku tidak akan seperti aku yang sekarang jika aku memilih jalan yanglain saat itu.

"Fate is somethingto fight against."

– Mahigashi Teru(God Hand Teru)

Saat aku memilih untuk melawanpetunjukNya, harusnya saat itu aku tahu konsekuensi akan keputusan yang kuambilsaat itu. Aku pernah melawan takdir. And here I am right now. But I’m stillokay. And I will always try to be okay with any challenges that might face mein the future.

“What’s wrong withfalling down? You can always stand up and smile again.”

– Ikeuchi Aya (1litre of tears)

Segala kesulitan yang telahkualami selama ini adala sebuah proses yang membantuku untuk menjadi dewasa.Sebuah proses yang membantuku untuk berdiri tegak dan memahami arti kehidupan.

Ada waktu dimana aku bertanyakepada Tuhan, “Ya Allah, kenapa harus seperti ini?”. Ada waktu dimana akumerasan bahwa Tuhan tidak adil. Manusia bukanlah makhluk yang sempurna. Akukemudian sadar, inilah jalan terbaik yang telah Tuhan persiapkan untukku.Setiap kejadian akan memberikan makna tersendiri, yang akan sangat bergunadalam mempelajari arti kehidupan.

Seseorang pernah berkatakepadaku, “Sesuatu akan indah pada waktunya”. Dan benar, kini aku sadari,inilah sesuatu yang indah itu. Sesuatu yang telah Tuhan persiapkan untukku.Terimakasih Ya Allah, karena telah memberikanku pelajaran yang sangat berhargaselama ini. Jalanku masih panjang. Masih banyak rintangan2 yang akan kuhadapidimasa yang akan datang.

"People shouldn’tdwell on their past, it’s enough to try your best in what you’re doing."

– Ikeuchi Aya (1 litre of tears)

I shouldn’t dwell on my past.My past was my choice that I have to take the responsibility on. It’s what Ichose and I shouldn’t regret it. “What if” should never come across my mind. Iwill try my best to help myself to be a better person day by day. My past makesme who I am today. It is part of me that I will never forget. I learn from mymistakes in the past; to do better in the future.

I am me.

Iseng liat video SM*SH di Youtube, dan nemuin video mereka nyanyi 'Insya Allah' di Pildacil ANTV & video mereka nyanyi 'Niat Puasa' untuk edisi bulan puasa kemarin.

kalo ada penyanyi ngeluarin lagu edisi Ramadhan emang dah biasa, tapi saya ga nyangka kalo SM*SH juga bakal ngeluarin lagu/nyanyi lagu yang bernuansa Islam. Kenapa? karena ada 2 member SM*SH yang non-muslim. I really respect both Rafael and Morgan who still involved (although they didn't sing) in the video and performance.

Sebelumnya, saya juga sempat melihat yang seperti ini, waktu saya SMA, saya dan teman2 saya yang muslim dan non-muslim menyanyikan lagu religi bersama dalam rangka Gebyar Ramadhan, lagu yang kami bawakan saat itu berjudul 'Tuhan'. I think this song was okay since it doesn't mention any God's name there. tapi kalo 'Insya Allah' dan 'Niat Puasa'? beuhhh banyak banget kata2 Allah nya dan kata2 berbahasa Arab.

Maka dari itu, saya salut banget buat Rafael dan Morgan yang dah mau professional (atau emang tuntutan kontrak ya.. hahaha).

saya pikir ini menunjukkan keberagaman agama di Indonesia dan bagaimana kita para umat beragama saling menghormati agama orang lain.

Semoga keberagaman agama di Indonesia dapat tetap berlangsung dengan damai. Jangan sampai konflik agama di Ambon, bom2 dari orang2 yang tidak bertanggung jawab menganggu rasa tenggang rasa antara umat beragama di Indonesia. Bravo SM*SH =)

Biarkan Rakyat Papua menjadi bagian dari Indonesia juga

2011-11-11T21:25:00.001+11:00

Selasa kemarin adalah hari ujianLending Decisions saya. Walau nama mata kuliahnya Lending Decisions, tapi kamitidak hanya diajarkan tentang bagaimana cara meminjamkan uang, tp kami jugabelajar tentang ethical issues, dll. Termasuk didalamnya kasus krisis diYunani.

Nah lho, apa hubungannya Yunanisama Papua? Jelas ada!! Rakyat di kedua tempat ini sama-sama memberontak kepadapemerintahannya. Menurut pendapat dosen saya, rakyat di Yunani memberontakkarena pemerintahnya tidak dapatmenyediakan kesejahteraan bagi rakyatnya. Not enough public facilities, nojob security, big corruptions, etc. intinya, rakyat merasa kalau pemerintah tidakdapat mensejahterakan mereka; dan ini pula yang terjadi di Papua.

Tadi malam saya menontonIndonesia Lawyers Club melalui internet, yang saat itu topiknya, “GunjangGanjing Bumi Papua”. Tidak sembarangan lho narasumber2nya. Pak JK pun turuthadir untuk memberikan pendapatnya tentang masalah di Papua saat ini. PT.Freeport Indonesia juga turut hadir, untuk menanggapi masalah karyawan merekayang saat ini sedang mogok dan menuntut kenaikan gaji.

Papua memiliki kekayaan alam yangsangat berlimpah. Dengan tambang emasnya yang menjadi salah satu tambag terbaikdi dunia, dengan hutannya yang masih hijau, dengan Gunung Jaya nya, sertawisata alam Raja Ampatnya, dll.

Bagaimana rasanya, jika andakaya, tapi tidak dapat menikmati kekayaan anda? Tentu tidaklah enak rasanya. Begitupunrakyat Papua. Dengan tambang emasnya yang saat ini di explorasi oleh PT.Freeport (Indonesia) yang berpusat di Amerika, rakyat Papua hanya menjadi buruhdi daerahnya sendiri. Dengan gaji yang sangat rendah jika dibandingkan dengantenaga kerja luar negeri di papua, tentulah mereka merasa di anak tirikan. Angkainflasi di Mimika (Lokasi tempat PT. Freeport Indonesia) berada pun tidakberbanding lurus dengan kenaikan gaji pegawainya. Dengan angka inflasi yangmencapai 10%, tentulah kenaikan gaji yang hanya 3% akan menjadi sangat beratbagi pekerja disana. Harga kebutuhan pokok yang selangit pun menambah panjangdaftar permasalahan rakyat papua, terutama yang berada di Mimika.

Selama ini, saya tidak sadarkalau Indonesia itu ternyata memiliki 2 speed economy seperti Australia. Tetapimasalahnya, jikalau daerah sekitar tempat yang di explorasi oleh BHP Billitonmaju seiring dengan angka inflasinya, justru di papua, daerah tersebut mundurseiring dengan tingginya angka inflasi di daerah tersebut. Kenapa saya bilangbegitu? Karena fasilitas2 publik disana masilah sangat minim. Mungkin memangsaya agak sok tau, tapi gambaran seperti itulah yang saya dapatkan saat sayamembaca dan/atau menonton berita tentang Papua.

Di acara Indonesia Lawyers Club,ternyata para narasumber pun mempunyai pendapat yang sama dengan dosen saya,bahkan mereka mengatakan bahwa rakyatpapua memberontak karena pemerintah belum dapat memberikan rasa keadilan dankesejahteraan bagi mereka. Dan sayasangat setuju dengan ini. Jikalau rakyatmerasa bahwa pemerintah adil, tentulah mereka tidak akan memberontak. Tingkat kemiskinanyang tinggi di papua, serta minimnya fasilitas publik yang tidak berbandinglurus dengan alokasi dana yang diberikan oleh pemerintah pusat tentumenunjukkan tingginya angka korupsi di Papua. Belum lagi rumor yang mengatakanbahwa para pejabat daerah Papua, lebih sering berada di Jakarta daripada diPapua, yang hanya di jawab ketawa oleh Pak Gubernurnya saat ini. Kalau dihitungalokasi dana per kepala, memang alokasi Rp 10 juta per kepala untuk Papuamemang jauh lebih tinggi daripada alokasi dana untuk daerah Jawa yang hanyamendapat jatah Rp 1.5 juta per kepala. Tapi tentulah ini harus diliat daribanyak aspek:

(1) aspek ekonomi. Kontribusi daerah yangdiberikan ke pemerintah pusat sangat lah tinggi. Kontribusi dari PT. Freeportdan perusahaan2 di Papua lainnya tentulah sangat tinggi, apalagi seiring dengantingginya harga emas dan mineral saat ini. Tentulah wajar bagi Papua untukmendapatkan jatah yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan daerah2 lainnya;

(2) Alam Papua yang masih sangatalami tentu membutuhkan biaya pengembangan infrasturktur yang sangat mahal. Belumlagi lokasi Papua yang jauh akan menyebabkan tingginya harga bahan2 bangunandisana. Kata Gubernurnya, untuk membangun jalan sepanjang 6000km++ dibutuhkandana Rp 200 M. dengan alokasi dana Rp 1 M per tahun, butuh 200 tahun agar jalantersebut dapat selesai. Ini baru jalannya. Belum jembatannya, belum fasilitas publiklainnya, belum lagi korupsinya;

(3) Papua masuk dalam daerah yangmendapatkan OTSUS (Otonomi Khusus) selain Aceh, jadi jelas Papua mendapatkanjatah lebih banyak daripada daerah-daerah lain.

Kenapa rakyat Papuaingin Merdeka? Kenapa sampai ada OPM (Organisasi Papua merdeka)?

Salah satu narasumber diIndonesia Lawyers Club menyebutkan tentang pentingnya National Character Building untuk rakyat Papua. Kebanyakan rakyat Papua kurangmempunyai rasa Nasionalisme, mereka kurang mempunyai rasa bahwa mereka adalahbagian dari rakyat Indonesia. Wajar memang, dengan pemerintah yang hanyamemfokuskan pembangunan di daerah jawa, tentu rakyat Papua merasa dianaktirikan. Lokasinya yang memang jauh dari ibukota mungkin menjadi salah satu sebabmengapa pemerintah kurang memberi perhatian khusus. Selain itu, kurangnyapejabat negara (Contoh: Menteri) yang berasal dari Papua mungkin menyebabkantidak ratanya pembagian alokasi proyek-proyek pembangunan Nasional. Seperti yangsudah saya tulis sebelumnya, rakyat Papuabutuh keadilan dan kesejahteraan. Jika rakyat Papua merasa bahwa pemerintahtelah berlaku adil terhadap mereka, tentu tidak akan ada lagi pertumpahan darahdi Papua. Terlebih lagi jika mereka semua sudah hidup sejahtera, jauh diatasangka batas kemiskinan. Tahun 2000, Papua termasuk salah satu daerah denganpenduduk termiskin terbanyak di Indonesia, dengan angka yang mendekati 50%. Lebihdari 40% rakyat Papua tergolong miskin!! Sungguh ironis! Punya kekayaan alamyang berlimpah, tetapi miskin. Justru negara lain lah yang mengambil untungatas kekayaan mereka.

Pemerintah pun sepertinya tidak dapatberbuat banyak; terlihat dari angka pembagian keuntungan yang hanya 1% untukpemerintah. Harusnya pemerintah dapat bernegosiasi untuk mendapatkan jatah yanglebih tinggi dari sekedar 1%. Tapi sudahlah, beberapa tahun yang lalu, kontrak1% ini baru saja diperpanjang untuk 40 tahun kedepan. Nasi telah menjadi bubur,sekarang kita membutuhkan pemerintah dan pejabat2 yang pintar memutar otakuntuk menggunakan jatah 1% ini untuk memajukan Papua dengan semaksimal mungkin.Para pejabat seharusnya sadar, bahwa rakyat Papua membutuhkan mereka. Janganlah mengambil uang yang bukan hak mereka, jangan lah mengkorupsi uang yangseharusnya dialokasikan untuk rakyat Papua. Para pejabat Papua yang saat inilebih sering di Jakarta sebaiknya lebih banyak meluangkan waktunya di Papua.Rakyatmu membutuhkanmu bapak2 dan ibu2 pejabat yang terhormat.

Policik edisi Reshuffle

2011-10-16T22:54:00.003+11:00

WARNING! Bagi yang ga suka politik, mending ga usah dibaca post ini, karna pasti jadinya membosankan. lol

karna di Indonesia sekarang lagi pada ngeributin soal Presiden kita yang lagi sibuk ngocok2 undian berhadiah menteri dan wakil menteri (wamen), kali ini saya juga ga mau ketinggalan donk. mari kita membahas sebentar tentang Politik Indonesia saat ini. Topik paling HOT di Indonesia saat ini, tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah RESHUFFLE kabinet Indonesia bersatu jilid II. udah jilid 2 lho Pak Beye, masa masih hobi ngocok2. knapa saya bilang dikocok2, karna memang menteri dan/atau wakil menterinya tidak dipilih berdasarkan kemampuan, melainkan jatah yang dijanjikan presiden kepada partai koalisi. ya kita memang ga bisa bilang kalau menteri2 dan/atau wamen yang ditunjuk Presiden itu sama skali ga berkualitas, tapi ya memang mereka bukanlah orang2 yg ahli dibidang yang dibebankan kepada mereka. contoh yang paling gampang: Menteri Pendidikan saat ini, Pak M Nuh; saat Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu Jilid I, beliau adalah Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika. nah, ga nyambung kan? dari komunikasi pindah ke pendidikan. ga cuma itu, adalagi yg lebih ga nyambung. Dirut PLN saat ini, Pak Dahlan Iskan. siapa yang nyangka bos Jawa Pos ini bisa tiba2 jadi Dirut PLN. seorang bos jurnalis yang biasanya ngurusin media, tiba2 disuruh ngurusin listrik negara. ini kira2 ilmunya nyambung darimana ya..

Sekarang, mari kita lihat dari aspek laporan UKP4 yang memberikan rapor merah kepada 50% kementrian dan pernyataan Presiden tentang efisiensi jabatan. dari mulainya dibentuknya staf2 khusus (stafsus) presiden, dan wamen dibeberapa kementrian, ini sudah memperlihatkan betapa gemuknya kabinet Indonesia bersatu jilid II saat ini. Secara logika, apa gunanya stafsus kalau sudah ada kementrian, apalagi ditambah dengan adanya wamen yang membantu tugas2 menteri. kalau memang menterinya tidak perform dengan baik, ya menterinya saja yang diganti. carilah menteri yang lebih ahli dibidang2 tersebut. yang mempunya pengalaman yang matang, dan yang lebih penting lagi, yang mementingkan kepentingan rakyat, bukan kepentingan partai politiknya, apalagi kepentingan pribadi.

dengan adanya wamen di beberapa kementrian di awal pemerintahannya yang kedua ini saja sudah sedikit aneh. nah sekarang ternyata lebih aneh lagi. dengan ditunjuknya wamen di setiap kementrian, apalagi ada yang sebelumnya ditunjuk 1 wamen, sekarang ditambah menjadi 2 wamen (contoh: kemendiknas). tambah gemuk lagi lah kabinet Indonesia Bersatu Jilid II versi after Reshuffle. otomatis, anggaran APBN pun akan terkuras lebih dalam lagi untuk menggaji para pembantu2 presiden ini. hmm.. sudah korupsinya tinggi, masih ditambah alokasi buat gaji para pembantu2 tambahan ini. gmana utang negara ini mau berkurang?

Sejak masa kepemerintahannya yg ke-2 ini, kebijakan2 pemerintahan terasa lebih lambat. Apalagi untuk memutuskan reshuffle kabinet skrg. Dari bulan September, sampai sekarang masih belum diumumkan struktur lengkap untuk melanjutkan roda pemerintahan 3 tahun kedepan. Publik masih harus menunggu, paling lambat sampai 19 Oktober 2011 (sesuai janji presiden yang mengatakan akan mengumumkannya sebelum tgl. 20 Oktober 2011). Apa sih yang kira2 membuat Presiden membutuhkan waktu banyak untuk memutuskan siapa2 saja yang akan menjadi pembantunya? tentu saja deal2 politik yang telah beliau sepakati dengan partai2 koalisi. walaupun, kata jubir presiden, presiden membutuhkan waktu lama, karena ingin menunjuk orang yang tepat sebagai pembantunya. tapi mari kita lihat saja struktur kabinet edisi after Reshuffle ini.

Sekarang mari kita bertanya; apakah benar Presiden menunjuk orang2 yg memang ahli dibidangnya masing2 sebagai pembantunya? toh, menteri2 yang terlibat kasus korupsi serta yang kurang berprestasi terlihat anteng2 saja, senyum2, yakin ga bakal di reshuffle. apa mereka adalah orang2 yang terbaik untuk ditunjuk sebagai pembantu presiden? saya yakin, masih banyak anak2 bangsa yang jauh lebih baik, dan lebih ahli dalam bidangnya masing2 untuk mengurusi kementrian2 ini. cuma sekarang pertanyannya, dari partai manakah anak2 bangsa ini berasal? dan jikalau mereka berasal dari partai koalisi, apakah mereka termasuk orang2 yang direkomendasikan oleh partainya? hmm.. masih banyak hal yang harus dipertimbangkan presiden. Belum lagi dengan adanya partai2 koalisi yang mengancam akan keluar dari koalisi, atau mengancam akan mempublikasikan kontrak politiknya kepada publik jika jatah menterinya dikurangi. tambah pusing deh Pak Presiden. sabar ya Pak.. ini memang resiko menjadi seorang Presiden yang kebanyakan memberi janji2 manis politik.

Let's see what will happen in the next few days. Bagi yang belum dipanggil ke Cikeas/Istana, sabar ya. Siapa tau anda adalah orang berikutnya yang ditunjuk Pak Presiden untuk menjadi pembantunya. Syukur2 jadi stafsus atau wamen =)

Prospect Theory

2011-10-05T21:34:00.001+11:00

today's performance lecture was discussing about pricing, life cycle costs, & target costing. the teacher was talking about pricing strategy, which reminded me with my marketing subjects. lol. yes, today's lecture was much about marketing instead of accounting, no calculations were actually discussed. instead, we were discussing about the market strategy.

what attracted me the most is about Prospect Theory. It's a theory that incremental gain will eventually become less pleasurable, and incremental losses will eventually become less painful. the teacher gave one example about a gambler. when he lose his first $100, he may feel sad and hurt, however, he will play again by thinking that, since he already lost $100, losing another $100 won't be a big issue. hmm this new theory awakes me that, gambling is not about addiction. it's just about your feeling that makes you want to play it again and again. this is also true for gain. the first time you receive $100 from someone, you might feel very grateful and happy about it. however, the next time you receive another $100, you might not feel as grateful as before.

I think this theory is very logical and true. for someone who is healthy, to be able to breathe is normal. there is no surprise about it, and he/she might not realise that he/she must be grateful about it. Instead, for someone who has been sick for a long time, who need oxygen tank to be able to breathe, when he/she becomes healthy and can breathe freely without the oxygen tank. that person will be very grateful and happy. he/she might cry happily because of this. however, when you look at her/him the next few months, he/she will forget about the happiness that heh/she felt before. he will just feel normal and nothing great to be able to breathe. just like what other healthy person feel. I think this is why God asks us to always be grateful for what we had. the thing that we might think normal/ordinary might become extraordinary to others. we need to be grateful for what we have today.

My Guilty Pleasure

2011-09-28T21:24:00.001+10:00

I just did my guilty pleasure today. no other than shopping! lol! yeah.. I'm just so stressed with my mid-semester break that is just so boring. I couldn't go anywhere since I'll feel guilty to myself, but I'm also stressed when I'm just staying at home and study. zzz.. so I couldn't stand it any more, last night I texted Winny to go out with me this afternoon, and so there we were, walking around melbourne central, going from 1 shop to another. blame the bad weather!!! Initially, I was thinking to do a photo hunting since now is spring. I was thinking about warm weather, but unfortunately, today's weather was just worst. heavy wind continued with heavy rain came to visit us today. when Winny and I was walking around Bourke St. heavy rain suddenly fell. not forget to mention the loud storms as well. our mood to shop suddenly went down. so we decide to went back. I went back home, and she went to library to continue her marketing assignment. lol.

I bought 3 shirts today, but none of them are actually the one that I need. loll. I need a black basic tee to wear on my volunteer day, but I couldn't find one. I know that Cotton On and Supre have it, but when we went to Cotton On, it's already out of stock. I thought Melbourne Central has Supre, but it ended up, they actually don't have it. Winny said that there is Supre in Bourke St. but we ended up getting lost! hahaa.. with the bad weather accompanying us, we just felt so tired to walk around and look for the shop. so we decided to finish our shopping day. loll. although I couldn't find the black basic tee that I need, I ended up buying 2 basic tees from Giordano. one is Yellow, and another one is dark blue. Yes, it's Yellow!! I finally found a yellow basic tee for my blue pants. yeah I know, I need a yellow basic tee for my blue pants. I don't know, I just think that they will look good together. yellow and blue. what a nice combination! hahaha.. oh, and you know what, Giordano was having a sale. 1 long basic tee for just $7.50! very cheap right!! especially if you don't convert it to rupiah. loll.. they have a lot of promotion there but strangely, there was only Winny and I who were there. not many people were interested to go there. oh ya, another shirt that I bought is jeans shirt. it's the colour that I always wanted. I know I know... I just bought 1 shirt few weeks ago, and today I bought another shirts. but do you agree that I need something to wear? I just bought some shirts here and I need a new look right? loll.. if my mom knew that I bought new clothes here, she will say "hmm.. you just bought another rubbish?" another sarcasm from her. loll.

I think this is my new bad habbit, when I don't feel good, I need to go shopping to feel better! loll another Guilty Pleasure is found! =D

2011-09-28T17:18:00.000+10:00

I thought that I am someone that can stay at home doing nothing no matter for how long it is. however, I think I have changed now, I was really desperate when I could not talk to anyone, and staying at home doing my assignment T.T

there are so many things that I need to do for my subjects during this mid-semester break. however, yesterday I realised how boring it is to just stay at home and study. I was thinking of going out, but I immediately feel guilty just by thinking of that. Oh NO!!!! it's so boring to stay at home, and yet I could not go out since I will feel guilty. such a hard decision to make huh

the power of marketing

2011-09-28T17:13:00.000+10:00

I learned in marketing about how you can influence your target consumer. there was a marketing strategy used by Coca Cola long time ago. they put up ads in cinema (you know when you want to watch a movie, there is always an ads first at the beginning of the movie right.). they put an ads something like this 'eat popcorn and drink coca cola'. I'm not sure about the exact words, but the content is something like that. after sometimes, their sales really increase dramatically. they tried to influence people that if they want to watch a movie, they need to eat popcorn and DRINK COCA COLA. at first, I didn't really believe in this idea before, but I really believe it right now. I like to watch protect the boss. it's a Korean drama, and the actress there, she likes to wear high heels. not the short one, but the really high ones. I've watched 16 episodes, and my taste of shoes have dramatically changed now. I really want to buy a high heels now (I never want them before T.T). I just went back from Rubi, and I saw a high heel shoes there, I think the heels is about 7-8 cm, and I really want to buy them!!! Today I went for shopping with Winny. when I ask her whether I should buy it or not ( I told her that I want to buy it to wear it to music performance). she said that it's actually not quite fit with the occasion. when I told her that maybe I can wear it when I am going for an internship, she said that I might not want to wear it, since it will be tiring. deuhhhh.. I've given so many reasons and she still declined it. so finally, I didn't buy it :'(

now I know why companies want to sponsor a movie and ask the actresses and actors to wear their products. that is to make people like me to buy their products! loll...

2011-09-17T15:24:00.003+10:00

I think I was staying too long in my comfort zone. when I am faced with reality, it's just felt too cruel for me. I am not saying that I want to get back to my comfort zone, I just hope that I can go through it well. I hope this reality will be my comfort zone soon.

Sincerely,

A person who just found out what reality is

Galau Post

2011-09-17T15:20:00.001+10:00

I hate it when people lie to me. especially when they'are caught even though I didn't try to check it whether it is true or not. what will I do after that? I will laugh at my self. Am I that stupid to just believe other people's words? Am I just too naive that everyone always have good intention towards me? I can't force people to always say the true stuff to me, but please, don't let me know that you lied to met. just make me believe that what you said to me it's true. it's okay if I look foolish in front of you. but please, don't make me leave my comfort zone.

I don't like to hate people, I don't like the feeling of not liking someone. I just want to keep good relationships with everyone. I don't mind if you show me you bad sides, but please don't ever lie to me. that's what I wanted to say you.

Sincerely,

Your foolish friend

Protect The Boss

2011-09-12T20:54:00.002+10:00

I'm currently watching this Korean drama. it's still being aired in Korea, and planned to finish by end of this month with 18 episodes. for those who cannot understand Korean (like me :p), you can watch it in kimchidrama. the latest episode that is subbed, is ep.12. I can't wait for the next episodes!! >,<

Initially, this drama is supposed to finish at its 16th ep. however, since the ratings are very high, the producers extend it by 2 episodes! yeay!! the viewers love this drama since it presents respectable content, and there is no antagonist character here (which is very rare in a drama). I also like this drama, since its romance-comedy type drama. the love lines are also very cute. for example, when Ji Heon (Ji Sung) told Eun Seol (Kang Hee) ".... Objectively, you're ugly....,Subjectively, you're beautiful..." lol. Usually, when a man wants to seduce a woman, he will say that she's very beautiful, kind, etc. etc. and Not telling her that she's ugly, messy, etc. but in this drama, the main male character always tell the girl the both sides comment, the objective side and the subjective side. he honestly told the girl that she is ugly, but he also said, for him, she's beautiful. wow.... I don't know how can I like this kind of cheesy words.. hahahaa I think it's very cute when a man say this to his woman. he doesn't just tell her, her good sides, but also her bad sides, things that most of the men won't say when they try to seduce a woman.

I hope this drama can win an award in SBS drama award 2011. I am looking forward to watch the remaining 6 epidsodes =D =D =D

For those who love 'old' DBSK/TVXQ and JYJ fans should watch this drama, since Jae Joong is playing in this drama as supporting actor. =D

10cm

2011-08-28T23:44:00.004+10:00

Hi! today I randomly watched Infinity Challenge (Korean Variety Show), and I watched Haha was there chatting with Korean duet band, 10cm. I did not have any idea about this duet band before. however, when I heard them performing their song '사랑은 은하수다방에서', I became very interested in them, they are Indie band focusing on K-Indie genre. that's why I think many of you never heard of them before, although their music are actually easy-listening music. I am sure many people will like their songs after they listened them. Especially when they listen 10cm's debut song which is 'Americano'. Once I heard this song, I become addicted to it. although both songs are good, but Americano seems to be more attractive to my ears. hehehe..

Below I've put their video when performing 'Americano', please listen to it well.. I hope you'll like it..

p.s: I think now we have other alternative than K-pop :p

Paradise Ranch

2011-08-25T14:26:00.003+10:00

2 days ago I watched a creative marketing strategy made by Tesco in South Korea. Their marketing strategy was very creative as they make you able to shop your groceries even in subway station!

No, I won't discuss about their ads here, today I will discuss about the drama that I've just finished watching, which is Paradise Ranch! while I watch the ads, I randomly open the drama episode and just fell in love with it. it was a very nice! the main characters were played by Changmin DBSK/TVXQ and Lee Yeon Hee. and there are also 2 other main characters, Joo Sang Wook and Yoo Ha Na.

I've never watch their drama/ movie before, so I don't know their acting before. the basic story of this drama is actually very common. that very common story where there is 1 girl who is being loved by 2 men, and there is also 1 other girl who love that 1 man. then she become jealous with the main character. and etc. you know this kind of story right, like full house, boys before flowers, princess hours, pasta, etc. however, there are many factors that make this drama interesting to watch. besides the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island that you rarely find in other dramas, the story also developed to become a not very common story.

at first, I thought that this drama is just that so so drama, but then, it becomes more and more interesting as the story goes. there are some parts that you can't predict. the staff do the common story drama in a not very common way.

If you're the type of person that likes nature, you must watch this movie!! I really like the cute house in the paradise ranch, the ranch was just beautiful! it's all green! they also showed the beauty of Jeju Island. although Jeju Island is often used in many dramas, but in this drama, they showed you the other parts of Jeju Island, which are as good as its beaches, tea plantations, etc.

when you watch this drama, for those who played harvest moon before, you may find the scene for this drama similar like harvest moon. where there is a little village with only 15 households, and the main character lives in the ranch with her horses.

there is one character that really attracts me, maybe most people will fall for Changmin as he is handsome and famous. However, the character that attracts me the most is Joo Sang Wook. I never watch his drama/movie before, but his face is just so charming. he may not be as handsome as Changmin, but I think he has the aura to look charismatic. he's quite old though, his age is already 33 years old this year; compare with Changmin that is still in his 20s.

although this drama is not as good and as famous as boys before flowers or full house or princess hours (which are longer), but I suggest you to watch this drama =)

The Main Characters : Lee Yeon Hee and Changmin DBSK/TVXQ

many things happened in my life recently, the came and went in no time. but I'm just happy that they keep coming to remind me that I'm still young. I still have very little experience in my life, and I realize that there are many more bigger problems that I'll have to face in the future. it's good to be young right? :)

weekly gathering a.k.a mentoring

2011-04-07T23:22:00.005+10:00

hi readers.. it's been long time since I updated my blog and I apologize for that :)

My ex-housemates in A-1-7 and I are doing weekly gathering. We meet up every Friday evening at Tika's house to discuss about what we've been doing in the past one week; we share about it and we can also ask solutions if we had any problems, and etc. Not only that, we also do religious activities. Not really religious though, but each of us will get turn to give 'kultum' (7 minutes speech about religious topic). We can choose whatever topic we want and share it to others during that day.

By doing this kind of activity, I think we are able to get to know each other better than when we were living under one roof. I realized that when we're still living together, we don't really share much about our life and/or problems. Yeah, so in doing this activity the benefits are much higher than the costs (soo.. accounting term. lol).

Last week was our 1 month anniversary.. haehee.. so we went to Malacca for 1 day trip. Not really went there to celebrate it though. It just happened like that. We just realized it when we already there.. hahaa..

I don't have much pictures when we were in Malacca, but I'll put some pictures of each of us (since I never introduce them before, in this post, I'll show their pictures.. hehe). and I will also put the picture of our 1st weekly gathering. hehe

Our 1st week gathering :)

this is ME!! hehe.. I know you're already bored with my picture. too much of my pictures here.. just bear it with me.. hahaa

KINTA!! I talked a lot to her. she really knows a lot of stuff, and that is why we're just soo connected.. hehe.. or maybe because we are cancerians XD

this is TIKA!!! our master chef! she can cook many delicious food you want. just tell her and she'll cook it for you.. aaa.. mommmy tika!!! :D

this is Sofia! I just realized that i don't have her picture of herself alone when we're in Malacca in my phone, so I put this picture here. lol. this picture was taken when we celebrate her birthday.. hehe *sorry sofi..*

REPLAY

2011-03-21T23:17:00.003+11:00

this song keeps playing on my mind these few days. not the one sang by the original singer though, but the one that is sang by Joseph Vincent. I Love you sooo much Joseph Vincent!!! nice cover! i think, he even sang it better than the original singer!! keep it up!!

how inexperienced I am (lol?)

2011-03-18T03:32:00.002+11:00

okeyy, sejak aku di MUFY, Dila sama Nicky bener2 speechless dengan gayaku saat ngeliatin orang. bner2 straight dan obvious banget. lol. aku dah coba selama ini supaya ga obvious2 amat, tapi kan namanya juga reflek, mana bisa diatur. wkwkk

tapi kayaknya, hari ni aku nyesel karena ga expert dalam melakukan itu.

so, here's the story.

td aku lg nongkrong di cafetaria bareng sarah ama vera. oiya, aku belum sempet cerita soal mereka di blog ini. maklum, dah jarang nge-blog sih.. hehehe..

nah, tiba2, mereka tuh ngeliatin sesuatu sambil bisik2 gt. reflek lah aku nengok. sampe 180 derajat. ini tuh yg super duper obvious. mungkin paling obvious selama hidupku di monash.

pas aku nengok, aku liat ada 3 orang jalan ke arah kami. aku gak merhatiin yg 2, aku cuma perhatiin 1 orang. itu pun karna dia gebetan temenku. karna aku ga ngerasa ada yg aneh or menarik, jd aku langsung balik badan sambil nanya mereka. "liat apaan sih kalian? gitu amat?" dan mereka dengan super excitednya.. "itu AFGAN!!" dan aku sambil bengong masih gak nyambung cuma bales.. "oo.. mana?" dan setelah itu, beberapa detik kemudian.. muncullah si artis Indonesia kita, bersama 2 temannya. ternyata yg jalan ama si gebetan itu adalah afgan. zzz.. kok bisa aku ga liat ya.. padahal aku dah obvious banget pas ngeliatin mereka. tp malah ga nyadar. wkwkkw...

tp aku ngerasa sih mereka pasti nyadar diliatin. soalnya aku nengok nya parah banget boo. soalnya pas itu cafetaria lagi sepiii banget. karna dah sore dan dah bnayak yg tutup. dan sialnya, walopun dah ketauan ngeliatin, aku salah merhatiin orang yg harusnya diliat.zzz

yah, itu lah salah satu kejadian memalukan yg terjadi dalam hidupku. kmrn juga ada sih.. lebih memalukan dan kocak malah. tp nanti aja lah.. i'll tell you later. bye..

it's just.. too late

2011-01-12T05:13:00.002+11:00

2 years.

yup! that's the time I need to find back that feeling again.

is it too long? not really. but maybe yes, it is.

happy? not really. coz this is what happened..

finally, after 2 years looking and trying to find back that feeling. I finally found it! yup, it's coming to me! I was so happy when I realized that I've found it. but not too long. not even one day. why? coz then, I went back to reality. I suddenly realized that it's too late.

it's not really my fault though. last time I just need 2 days to realize it. just exactly before I lost it. but now, I have less than 2 weeks to realize it, and after I realized it. I realized that I've lost it.

I've lost the chance to feel that "relieved" feel.

I got the chance, but I lost it. I don't know when can I feel that feel again, and to feel that "relieved" feel again.

I hope I don't have to wait this long. I hope I can find it in less than 2 years. and I hope, this one will last longer than the others. the others ended too fast for me, and they ended in the same way. farewell. and there is no sign to get them back again. it's all.. just TOO LATE.

Malaysia vs Indonesia

2010-12-28T19:48:00.002+11:00

kmrn aku nonton pertandingan Mal vs Ina di stadium nasional bukit jalil kuala lumpur. pertamanya sih seru. dengan gegap gempitanya stadion yang full oleh suporter Malaysia dan Indonesia, yel2 kedua kubu yang saling gak mau kalah, pokoknya auranya seru banget lah! tapi gak jadi seru ketika Malaysia melayangkan gol pertama, kedua, dan ketiganya ke gawang Indonesia. Indonesia kalah 0-3 tanpa balas!! zzz T_T

i'm terribly sad because of that. rasanya pengen nangis ngeliat Indonesia kalah tanpa balas. udah gak ada mood buat foto2 deh. no use.. it will just remind me about bad memories.

#malaysiacheatlaser dan lain2, menjadi trending topic di situs mocro-blogging twitter malam itu. pokoknya suporter Indonesia mengeluarkan semua unek2nya + sumpah serapah ke Malaysia malem itu. artis2 pun pada ikut komentar. see, Indonesia bisa bersatu juga kan kalo masalah ginian.. hahaha

menurut analisa saya (halah, sok penting :p)..

1. Indonesia mainnya memang kurang bagus. pertahanannya agak kurang, markus juga kurang lincah dalam menangkap bola (apalagi gol kedua, itu knapa markusnya cuma bengong aja ya.. zzz =,=). Gonzales juga sepertinya kurang mendapat bola. tendangan2an yang dilancarkan juga seoertinya kurang akurat ya..

2. pemain Malaysia mainnya beda banget sama pas lawan Indonesia buat pertama kali. yang ini JAUH LEBIH BAGUS. kemajuan yang sangat pesat telah ditunjukkan oleh para pemain TIMNAS Malaysia.

3. suporter Malaysia kok gitu banget ya... pake laser, mercon, dan kembang api super gede.. tolong supportif dikit donk.. apalagi kata ketum PSSI, Nurdin Halid, telah ditemukan serbuk gatal2 dekat gawang Indonesia, yang mengakibatkan Markus dan para pemain belakang Indonesia mengalami gatal2. hmm... jangan2 gara2 ini, Markus sampai kebobolan 3 kali.

haduuh please supporter Malaysia.. kalau dukung tim nya jangan gitu lah.. gak etis kan dilihatnya. sebenernya gak hanya itu aja sih yang mengganggu. merekan juga pada ngelemparin botol air mineral + kacang2 ke arah lapangan. this one is super duper annoying. emang dikira lapangan itu tong sampah apa?? zz

yah, begitulah analisa saya ttg final AFF leg 1 di bukit jalil.

kita tunggu saja besok. semoga Indonesia bisa menggilas Malaysia 4-0!! hehehe.. peace :D

One Litre of Tears

2010-08-03T18:28:00.004+10:00

just watched "One Litre of Tears" for the second time =)

it's still a sad movie. one thing that I just realised yesterday, this time, the movie can get the my tears out of me. it was just soo damn sad. and there is also one thing that I just realised, the title was taken from the episode 8 title; which is "One Litre of Tears". In that episode, Aya said in front of her class, that to be able to stand there, and say what she was saying, she has given out at least one litre of tears. waaaa... it was so sad right??? the class was crying, and me too.. hehe...

yeah, it's an old movie, but still, very touching. and it is based on teh true story. the movie was made in Japanesse version, Chinese version, and Indonesia version. but for Indonesia evrsion, they changed the title to " Buku Harian Nayla" ("Nayla's Diary"). they also changed the ending.

by watching this movie, we can realise that we're all should be thankful to God for the health that He gave us. for healthy person, to be able to walk and run is just a normal thing. bu for those who are diasbled, to be able to walk a few metres is a miracle.

sometimes, we're grumbled when we sweat. we blame the hot weatehr that make us sweating. but there is one case in Indonesia, where this young boy cannot sweat. so he always feel hot, and need to take a bath every 15 mins. see.. even sweating is a gift from God. that's why we always have to be grateful for whatever God has given us.

for those who thinks that they are worst, or the most pathetic human on earth, change your mind! coz there are still many more people who are living in worst condition than you 're. there are still hopes for everyone.

I think, that is the moral of this movie. to be grateful of what we are, and continue to struggle whatever our condition is.

lovely instax

2010-08-03T18:10:00.004+10:00

after waiting 1 month.. finally, just got new camera from Kinta. she went to China last break, so I asked her to buy me an instax camera. it was sooo cute :D

I was planning to buy the white one, it's like the limited edition version, but Kinta said the shop only has the pink and blue instax camera. she knows that I'm not that girly girl, so she bought me the blue one. thank youu Kinta ^^

haven't took a lot of pictures actually, since i only have few films left. lo. there are not many shops here that sell the film. i've asked a fujifilm shop in jakarta, and the woman said. "mm.. what is that actually? i never heard about it before" and i was like.. okay, no need to ask another question anymore.. =,='

Kinta's friend also has instax camera, so I'll probably ask her to buy the films for me. hhehe...

I'll put some pictures from my instax here, so that you can see how nice instax camera is... mine is the instax mini one, so that photo size is not as big as normal polaroid one. but that's the fun part right?? lollll

The Naked Kitchen and Ju Ji Hoon ^^

2010-05-26T21:12:00.011+10:00

The naked Kitchen

woaaaaa, abis nonton 'The Naked Kitchen'!!! bagussss. two thumbs up deh buat naked kitchen!! apalagi buat Ju Ji Hoon yang super cute... hahaahaaa..

endingnya agak mengecewakan sihh, karena akhirnya si cewe gak milih dua2nya, tapi oke lar.. difilm ini si Ju Ji Hoon nyanyi lho... dia nyanyi lagu yang judulnya " I don't know anything but love" sweeet banget. aku paling uka dia yang disini, lebih ceria dari princes hour dan lebih ganteng daripada Antiqu Bakery. hehee....

tapi sayangnya, dia tahun lalu kena kasus narkoba gt, dia ketangkep sebagai pecandu dan oengedar narkoba. Artis besar pertama yang kena kasus narkoba di Korea!!! gila gak tuhhh.. dia nangis lhoo pas persidangan pertama.. hiks..hiks.. dan setelah dia ngejalanin hukumannya, bulan february kemaren dia pergi buat military service.. dan it will tak 2 years.. zzz.... kapan lagi donk bisa liat dia maen film.. dan saat dia keluar, umurnya bakal 30 tahun. tuanya dikau mas... tapi gpp lahh, I'll wait for you.. wkwkkk..

oiya, Ju Ji Hoon dah punya cewe lhoo, itu lho, yang jadi Hyorin di Princess Hour. hmm.. menurut aku mereka gak cocok deh.. gak tau knapa. agak gmannaaaa gt.. aku gak tau sih berita terbaru ttg mereka, apa merka masih jadian atau dah putus. apalagi setelah kasus narkoba yang menimpa Ju Ji Hoon, ditambah sama Military Service. emang kuat gt LDR ampe bertahun2 kayak gt?? berita terakhir sih mereka tinggal satu rumah gt (itu juga sebelum Ju Ji Hoon ketauan nge-drugs).

wuahh, pokoknya Ju Ji Hoon top deh!!!! and good luck buat dia, supaya military servicenya lancar, dan bisa balik ke dunia akting lagi.. pasti banyak yang kangen liat akting dia lagi.. :D

oke, karena gak dapet foto dia yang sendiri pas di naked kitchen, jadi aku masukin yang ini aja dehh, yang di princess hour.. hehehe :D

Oiya, buat yang mau dengerin suaranya Ju Ji Hoon pas nyanyi lagu 'I don't know anthing but love' pas di naked kitchen, nih aku selipin videonya dari youtube =)

Semifinal Thomas Cup 2010 Malaysia

2010-05-15T15:11:00.003+10:00

ok, this post will discuss more about the games. no more boring talking about how I reached the place. lol

INDONESIA VS JAPAN

Taufik Hidayat could beat Japan in straight 2 sets of game.

Markis/Hendra also could beat Japan. it was a fast game actually. it's not even 1 hour I think.

Simon Santoso, eventhough he lost, but he played good. while we were watching the game, Kinta keep saying "SIMON GANTENG"!! ( she shouted it out loud actually) many people were looking at her. however, everytime she shouted, Japan got points, so she changed her strategy to shout "(the player name(I forgot)) KAWAIIIII!!" lol. but I think, it ended up the same. loll. no use lah kinta..

the last game was nova/alvent. they also played kinda fast game, but it was slower than the game that markis/hendra played. Luckily they won, so Hayom, didn't need to play since Indonesia won already. Indonesia won 3-1 to Japan.

Although the stadium was not full, but there are many Indonesians coming. They brought flags, and even wearing a costume to supprt Thomas Cup team. the Malaysia's supporter who sat around us were also supported Indonesia. yeayyy XD

MALAYSIA VS CHINA

I can't really recall about the game, just remember some. lol. I remember tha game of Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei. it was kinda sad to watch Lin Dan won over Lee Chong Wei because I was seating around Malaysia's upporters, they're all are teenagers, they're all really excited to support him. I like how Malaysians support their team, it's similar like Indonesians actually. the stadium was packed of supporters, they really support the player, they keep supporting the player, even when Lee Chong Wei lost, they keep shouting his name. yeah, if you just heard them from radio, you might think that actually the winner was Lee Chong Wei instead of Lin Dan. when Lin Dan won the game, he took of his shirt, did some dance and salute to the audience with his racket. wiii.. so cool. he got the muscles, look, and he just beat the 1st badminton player in the world. wuouuuw... what else you want from a man? hahahaaa...

when China won, all the supporters were kinda sad. I saw a boy crying. I mean, I know how it feels, to know that your country lost. he is on of the teenager that I was talking about. his eyes were red, I know, he waited all day to watch his favourite team play, but then it ended up that the team that he supported lost. waaaa.. so sad.. hiks2.. I felt the same way yesterday (bu I didn't cry). it was reallly sad to watch Indonesia lost from China, and knowing that the umpire was kinda unfair to Simon Santoso (third game) make it worst. if you checked twitter yesterday, you'll see that thomas cup became the trendin topic yesterday, including about the game markis'hendra played and about the unfair umpire... yeahh, it is sad to lose something. there is still 2 years before the next Thomas cup tournament. all things that Indonesia team needs are well preparation, training, and a tough mental. don't easily give up when it comes to beat China. Good Luck for Thomas Cup Team... =)

a long journey to semifinal Thomas Cup 2010 Malaysia

2010-05-15T14:40:00.001+10:00

Sorry if you think that this post will discuss about the Indonesia Thomas Cup journey from the qualifications till the semifinal. it wil only talk about may long boring journey from Palmville to stadium putra, bukit jalil. lol.

Yeayyy, I went to semifinal thomas cup 2010 at stadium putra, bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur yesterday. It was along journey before I could reached the venue.

first, I went to sunway pyramid to have lunch with Kinta. then, we took a bus to subang parade to take a shuttle bus subang parade - bukit jalil. at subang parade, we were kinda lost, coz we don't know where to wait. and it was already 1 pm ++. the information centre there told us to wait at the 'bus stop' behind digital one. there we met Karina and Stefie who were also going to watch thomas cup. We waited for around 15 minutes,till kinta couldn't wait any longer, she called the contact number for the shuttle, then he told her that actually we waited at the WRONG place!! zzz... he told us to wait at the bus stop IN FRONT of subang parade and he also said, that we might have to wait a bit longer because the bus driver might pray the jumat prayer first.

so yeah, finally we found the bus stop. they put big banner there, about the shuttle bus for thomas cup. =,='

when we reached there, the jumat prayer hadn't started, so we waited and waited until they finished the jumat prayer, and at that time, it strted raining.. huhh.. what a "good" day. however, the bus still hadn't come. we waited for around 15 mins, and the clock was showing 2pm++... we decided to take a taxi from there. and the taxi charged us RM 30!! zzz it's twice from the normal price!! with heavy rain in an evening friday, accompanied by heavy traffic jam. we went to bukit jalil. we reached there at around 3 pm (if i'm not mistaken ^^'). then we were rushing to the place and found our seat. but then, so sad of us, Taufik Hidayat had ended his game. yup, he won, but we couldn't watch him play. luckily, we just missed that game. we watch the rest of the game, including the game of China vs Malaysia. we watched Lin Dan vs Datuk Lee Chong Wei. lol. it was a great game by the way, although Lin Dan could defeat Lee Chong Wei so badly in front of the ayes of thousands of malaysians there.

and 1 more thing I want to tell, I think we chose wrong seats , because you know what, we were surrounded by Malaysia's Supporters. they're all wearing yellow shirts, plus flags, and also cheers... and they were asking like, which team are you support? Malaysia or China? and we were like.. ermm... we support the winner.. lol

Plastic camera 2

2010-05-12T18:53:00.007+10:00

okeee, setelah kmrn liat2, websitenya lomonesia, plus liat2 website lomo yang laenn. akhirnya pilihanku jatuh kepada 2 pilihan. either holga 135BC warna kuning yang super duper cute, atau instax yang harganya lumayan jauh lebih mahal. huhu...

kayaknya aku dah tau deh, kegilaan yang melandaku sebelum exam kali ini. Yak, tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah LOMOO!!!! Argh!!!

mau lomoooo.... T_T

pokoknya, kalo aku bisa lancar negrjain smua exam2 aku, insya Allah aku bakal beli tuh holga. tunggu aku yaaa.. udah liat2 di ebay, ada yg warna kuning, plus, flash, plus colour flashnya juga. harganya gak nyampe RM 200. much cheaper than in pyra. tapi emang di tokok lomo indo, yang kayak pyra harganya lebih mahal. tapi aku gak tau apa bagusnya. yang ini kayaknya harganya lebih murah dan hasil fotonya lebih bagus dehh. wahhh holgaaa...

jadi semuanya depend on my exam. kalo aku yakin ama jawaban exam2ku. yakin bisa dapet bagus smua.. langsung deh beli holga (insya Allah).

Cameraaaaaa

2010-05-11T20:15:00.008+10:00

tadinya sih cuma pengen liat2 berita bentar tentang pertandingan uber cup hari ini. yang Alhamduliallh, Indonesia bisa menang 5-0!! whooohoooo!!! tapi sih akhirnya end up, liat2 kamera unik. lollll.aku lagi ngidam polaroid banget deh akhir2 ini. apalagi setelah kinta ngasih tauin ttg fujifilm instax. =,= Ya Allah.. pengen banget kamera lagiiii.. after I bought Oktomat, 2 or 3 years ago, skrg pengen beli kamera lagii.. hiks2.. dan aku rada labil deh. virus kinta nihh.. zzz...

aku bingung, mau beli polaroid yg super jadul (it costs Rp 350,000,-), atau fuji film instax mini (Rp 900,000,- approx.), atau fujifilm 200 (Rp 1++ m), atau fujifilm 210 limited edition (Rp 1++ m as well), atau holga (RM 230 recently seen at pyra). waaaaa... yang mana yaa.. bingung dehh.. smuanya bagus. tapi wasting money gak sih, beli kamera kayak gt lagi. yang oktomat aja jarang banget dipakenyaa...

males banget deh kalo mau nyetak foto, mbak2 fujifilmnya jarang ngerti cara bukanya, it often ended up dengan hampir semua fotoku kebakar.. hiks2... oiya, dan satu lagi, oktomat tuh kita gak bisa ngeliat apa yg kita foto, beda ama yang lain. jadinyaa emang foto yang ku ambil kebanyakan meaningless bin gak jelas.. hahaaa... that's what you call Art!! heheheh :D

nih, aku selipin gambar lomo ku yang kuambil dari website tokonya.. oiya, and FYI, tokonya dah direnovasi lhoo.. jadi so much better than before. yang dulu lebih keliatan eksklusif sih.. secara, nyarinya aja ribet banget.. yang sekarang lebih keliatan ramah.. and I'm sure, many people would come to visit that store now. walopun tetep masih belom buka cabang. there's only 1 store in jakarta. 1 store as well in Surabaya. bagi yang tinggal di daerah lain, you can order it online =)

Oktomat

(harganya gak berubah2 sari dulu ampe skrg, it is still Rp. 550,000,-)

Monash Cultural Night 2010

2010-05-01T10:06:00.002+10:00

wiiiii,, it was sooo fun last nite. after the long long time preparation, finally we rached the "day". it was great, exactly like what I was hoping. a lot of laughs, crowds, dance and all. there were belly dancing, performance from students cultural fashion show, bionic funk diplomas or drums, etc. i think the funniest was the 'ice nutz' group. they did acapella comedy, but the winner was Casa crew. it's Australian students' group, their performance was fun too. it's soo damn funny.

The theme of Monash Cultural NIght this year was Kaleidoscope "explore the colours'. it's a yearly event organized by MUISS. Cultural night was basically an event where students can perform as representative of their country. the students who were just coming to watch the performances were also wearing their cukturak ckothes. so, yeah you can see people wearing saris, those jubah, baju kurung, and the my favourite one, batik. last night, Indonesia has shown that even we are coming from different races (Indonesia, Arabs, Chinese) but we are all one. All of us were wearing batik, which is our national clothes. Indonesia's performance were also good. Patriot band represent us by performing 2 songs (I will fly - by ten2five and Bukalah Semangat baru - ello and friends).

I think it's worth to pay RM20 for the ticket event. you got food, goodie bag, and excellent performances. and one more good news about the evnt, the ticket were soldd out!!! whoohoooo! so the MPH last night was full of people. ok then , I think that's all about my post today. Monash Cultural Night ROCKS!!!!

Kinta, Sofia, Me while waiting for the event to start :p

Indonesia's Performanceeee!!!

Sri Lanka's Performance

Arab's (maybe) fashion show

India's (maybe) performance

Indonesiaaa fashion showww :D

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

2010-04-01T20:31:00.002+11:00

just watched How to Train Your Dragon this evening with Kinta. Kinta knew this movie from Sherina's tweet. do you all know sherina? she is an indonesian singer, she also play for film before (Petualangan Sherina (Sherina's adventure)). the movie was great, I think it would be much better to watch it in 3d. Actually I wanted to watch the 3D one, but then the show time was kinda late, so I just watched the normal one. I think you all need to watch this movie. the characters were well drawn, it almost seems like real people. the story was okay, I said it as unexpected story. I think I rate this move 9/10 for animation movie.

oh ya, at the beginnig of the movie, they showed the karate kid trailer. I'm sooo excited to watch that. they introduce Will smith's son with Jacky Chan. so yeah,, can't wait to watch ittt.. :D

and one more movie that I think I'm gonna watch it, it's the movie version of the anime Avatar. I haven't watach the trailer, but I like the anime, so I think I'll watch it when its out.

ok then, I think this post is kinda short post for me, I should put the review of How to Train Your Dragon movie, bu then it's too long for me to explain it, so I end up writing about next movies that I want to watch. lol. ok then. Bye :D

2 tahun

2010-03-25T13:16:00.004+11:00

mm.. mungkin bagi orang banyak 2 tahun adalah waktu yang cukup lama untuk dilewati. Tapi itu gak brarti buat ku. 2 tahun telah berjalan dengan cepat. 2 tahun belakangan ini, aku dah berada di 3 sekolah yang berbeda. Telah banyak orang2 yang telah kutemui, dari berbagai usia, background, dll. Banyak pengalaman2 yang aku dapatkan dalam kurun waktu 2 tahun ini. Dan banyak pula ujian2 yang harus aku hadapi. Mulai dari yang kecil, ampe yang aku rasa sangat berat untuk aku hadapi. Toh, ternyata aku tetap sanggup untuk melewati ujian itu, dan terbukti kan aku masih hidup sampai at least, detik ini.

Satu lagi yang aku notice ttg kurun waktu 2 tahun. Aku memang memberikan tanda pada tanggal aku ngedapatin hp baru aku. Dan kmrn, hp ku sudah berumur 2 tahun. Hmm... Cukup lama juga ya dia menemaniku kemanapun kaki ini melangkah. Hp ku ini memang sudah berumur 2 tahun, tapi kalo diliat sekilas, masih kayak hp baru boo.. boleh diadu dehh.. tapi kalo soal sistemnya, mulai keliatan deh belangnya. Ada beberapa fungsi yang udah gak bekerja sebagus dulu lagi. Sudah 2 kali aku pergi ke tukang servis untuk keluhan yang sama. Semoga saja, aku gak harus pergi ke tukang servis lagi untuk permasalahan yang sama. Yahhh.. namanya juga hp butut, what do you expect gitu loh!

Gak hanya itu aja, 2 tahun juga waktu yang cukup lama sampai aku bisa pindah tempat tinggal beberapa kali. Di Surabaya, aku pindah 2 kali, dan di malay, aku juga pindah dari condo ke palmville. Ya.. 2 tahun memang bukan waktu yang cepat.

Dalam 2 tahun ini, banyak bagian dari diri aku yang berubah. Selain angka ditimbangan yang terus bertambah.. (=,=’), sifat aku juga kayaknya berubah deh. Aku gak semalu dulu lagi, dan aku sekarang lebih cuek. Oiya, and one more, aku lebih keperempuanan deh kayaknya.. hahahhaa.. iy tuh, gara2 housemate aku yang pada cewe2 tulen. Aku jadi tau lah dikit2 ttg cara ngurus diri. Aku juga belajar masa.. haha.. yah,, pokoknya belajar jadi perempuan yang bener lah..

See, there are many things that can happen within 2 years time. So don’t waste your time people. You won’t realize that time has passed so fast.

networking party

2010-03-19T01:11:00.003+11:00

I just came back from MBC's networking party at Monash. the dress code was supposed to be hip hop style, but I don't think everyone will wear as what is mentioned in the ticket. everyone were just wearing casual, only few people wore hip hop style.There are many people who came to that party. It was held on the rooftop of library. that place is nice at night. I mean, you can't see many nice view there,, but.. it just nice to sit there alone at night. I think, it can calm you... hmm.. what a nice feeling..

the party was kinda okay for me. there were some dance performances, Ice Breaking games,, and FOOD!! loll.. I think, it was really a "Networking" party, because the first game was like speed dating or what so ever they called it. it was like the girls are facing the boys, and they need to introduce themselves with a person in front of them for like 30 seconds, after that, the boys will move one chair to the right, and agaiinn, introduce themselves to the girl in front of them. so yeahh, I met some new friends, but I almost forget all of them. loll.. I just remembered few of them, I remember Chris, Wandie,Simba, Saiful (he is Iffat's friend), Jeremy, and Danial. however, I'm very sure that if I met them somewhere, I won't notice them, coz I already forgot their faces.. loll.. yeah,, I'm not that good in remembering someone's name or face. it's just too hard for me..

oh ya,, there was one guy who was laughing so loud when I introduce myself to him. he was laughing when he knew that my name is ima. he said that he named his bicycle at home ima. my name becomes a bicycle name?? I never think of that =,= and I won't do that. so people, don't name your bicycle with my name please. I know that my name is sounds so good until you want name your favourite things with my name...loll

I came back before the party finish. I went back with Kinta and Iffat. Iffat drove us home.. hehe.. thank you Iffat!! :D

ok then, this is the end of my blog today.. so good night everyone.. have a nice dreamm :D

hari ini, 16th of march 2010.

pagi ini aku memulai hariku dengan senyuman kecil di bibir. membayangkan apa yang baru terjadi sebelum aku masuk kelas management pagi ini.

There was an accident happen today. I went to a guy’s toilet. :D
I don’t know why this happened, but what I know is that both men and ladies washrooms are looks the same. It just have slight different, but if you didn't see it properly, you might have mistaken them like me. I think this is the third or fourth time I went to wrong toilet here in Monash. However, today was different, because a guy caught me inside. Before, there was no one inside, so I didn't really realize that I went to wrong toilet.

This afternoon, I tried to go to ladies wash room beside it, and I noticed that it's little bit different from what I used to go. Then, I realized that whenever I go to the toilet around there, I always go to the guys toilet. loll.

okay, maybe I need to wear my specs back... hahaa..

* pic will be uploaded soon. gotta go.

negeri lima menara

2010-03-06T11:52:00.003+11:00

kmrn aku baru selesai baca novel " Negeri Lima Menara". akhirnya, selesai juga aku baca novel inil.. fiuhh.. tadinya aku gak tlalu tertarik, sempet libur baca sebulanan lebih. tapi tiba2 aku tertarik lagi untuk menlanjutkan bacaanku yang belum habis. aku bersyukur karna dah bisa menamatkan novel ini. bagus banget booo'. awalnya sih memang tidak terlalu menarik, tapi setelah kira2 stengah novel ini telah terbaca, baru deh cerita2 seru bermunculan. novel ini bagus bangett. banyak mengandung ajaran2 islam. yang sederhana, tapi dalam maknanya. contohnya: ttg pentingnya keikhlasan. gmana kalau kita sudah berniat untuk ikhlas, maka sgala hal akan terasa lebih muda. disini juga ada resep2 rahasia. misalnya nih. kalo mau tanding atau belajar keras, mesti minum kuning telur ayam campur madu! hahaha...

ceritanya bagus banget! ngisahin ttg serunya jadi anak pondok. di novel ini, dikisahkan ada seorang anak dari Maninjau, Sumatera Barat yang mencari ilmu di Pondok Madani. tapi menurut aku sih, kisah ini diambil di Pondok Pesantren Gontor Ponorogo, Jawa Timur. karena emang hints nya banyak banget yang menunjukkan kalo ini tuh PonPes Gontor. itu lho.. PonPes yang terkenal banget ituuu... dan ternyata, pas aku liat di biography penulisnya, ternyata bener kann dia dari Gontor! XD

disini tokoh utamanya adalah Alif Fikri dan 5 sahabatnya. mereka menyebut dirinya "sahibul menara". mengapa? karena mereka selalu nongkrong dibawah menara masjid. hehehe...

mereka bermimpi untuk bisa pergi ke negara impian masing2. Alif ingin pergi ke Amerika, Baso ingin pergi ke Madinah, Atang ingin pergi ke eropa, Raja ingin pergi ke Mesir, sedangkan dua sahabat lainnya yaitu Said dan Dulmajid ingin mengabdi untuk daerah masing2, yaitu Surabaya dan Madura.

dinovel ini diceritakan2 kisah2 menarik khas pondok pesantren. ya hafalannya yang super banyak lah, ttn hukumannya, ttg ngelirik2 cewe sembunyi2, dll. pokoknya khas banget dehh! walopun aku belom pernah bener2 nyantri di pondok pesantren. tapi aku dari smp udah nyobain rasanya tinggal diasrama sekolah islam. kemarin pas liburan aku juga nyobain nyantri kilat selama 2 minggu di sebuah ponpes di Boyolali, Jawa Tengah. jadi aku ngerti lah,, dikit2 ttg pengalaman2 seru mereka. pokoknya, baca deh novel ini, seru!!

"my name is khan, and I'm not a terrorist" (my name is khan, 2010)

2010-03-05T03:41:00.003+11:00

I just watched "My Name is Khan"! that's a great movie. I'm very glad to watch it. first time, I knew that movie from Ading. she wrote in her fb status, "My Name is Khan, a must watch". then, I became very curious about it. and I decide to watch it today. I watched it with kinta and opi. at first, tika wanted to join us, but then, she changed her mind, and she chose to watch another movie with her friends from VU.

the main character was played by Shah Rukh Khan, and for the woman is Kajool. I think, this movie is very suitable for Shah Rukh Khan. his name is also Khan, and he's also a Muslim. I've also read news about him being stopped by the immigration officers, when he arrived in U.S. and in his real life, he also married to a hindu woman (if I'm not mistaken). So, I think, some scenes here came from true story of Shah Rukh Khan himself.

the story was nice. I think, it can rebuild the good image about Islam, after the 9/11 tragedy. It shows how Muslims are being attacked by others after the 9/11 tragedy. At that time, to avoid being attacked, Muslims in america tried to change their identity. they tried not to be noticed as Muslims. some of them, take out their hijabs, and etc. Muslims are being attacked, but Khan was very confident about his religion. he still proud to be a Muslim. he still pray on time, he still read Qur'an and etc.

this movie is not that serious, they put some humor inside it, so that we won't feel bored when we watch it. It's a very must watched movie, and I'm glad coz they didn't put too much Indian song and dance.. lol.

I'll rate this movie 9/10 =)

busy wednesday

2010-03-04T01:54:00.000+11:00

Today was very tiring. I had 4 classes, with only 30 minutes break. My class started at 10 am and finished at 5 pm. So, yeah, you can imagine how I felt today. I know, I know,, it’s all my fault as I’m the one who chose the schedule for myself. Coz, I thought it won’t be too nice if I have a long break time. So I chose to only have 30 mins break. But then, I didn’t spend my shor t break to eat my lunch. In fact, I used it to chat with opi. LoL. I bought lemon tea and chezels to accompany me. I helped her a bit with her selling book events. Ya, she was alone sitting in front of the mbc shop, waiting for people to come and sell their books to them. So, I sat there to chat with her. Hehehe..

Oya, I met a new friend today. I forgot her real name, but she told me that I can call her Caca. She’s Indonesian, and she came from Medan. But I don’t think she looks like one. She really looks like metropolitan girl (Jakarta). She was talking to me in english, eventhough I knew that she’s Indonesian. Lol. But I replied her in English as well, until she asked me where I came from. Then I told her that I’m also Indonesian (she thought that I’m malay =,=). Yeah, many people thought that I‘m Malaysian. Haiiaaahhh

Today I got my first accounting as well as intro to microecons lecture. The Acct lecturer was nice. he’s little bit funny. Lol. While my econs lecturer was little bit boring.. I think he also realized that. He even said that if he didn’t give us a 5 min break, then we’ll die coz our very bored subject. Lol.

One more, I finally bought my business and econs statistics today. The new one.. ehm2.. lol. I was thinking to buy the secondhand one, as there is not much difference between them. But then, I decided to buy the new version one, so that I can sell it next sem.. hehehe

I also bought my Accounting book today. This is also new, as the lecturer said that we have to buy the new one. And we can’t photocopy! It’s even written at the back of the book, about the authorization or something like that.

And for management, I bought my book from Opi, hehehe.. no need much effort, she even put her book on my table. Loll.. thank youuu opiii..

I haven’t got my econs book, I think I’ll just buy the secondhand book one, since the one in the bookshop is the same one as last sem book. It’s cheaper, and you can get some notes written by senior. So yeah,,, tomorrow is hunting time!! I’ll visit mbc shop to check it. I hope they still have some, or else, I have no choice, I’ll have to buy the new one.. zzz

MONASH Orientation Day

2010-02-26T00:15:00.003+11:00

orientation has ended today.

the first day was just all the briefing parts. bla.. bla.. bla... which making you feel very sleepy :p, but at 2 pm, there was a briefing for international and exchange students, followed by culture adaptation workshop. this workshop was done by MUISS (monash university international student society [if i'm not mistaken]) and this was fun. they explained about living in Malaysia, the culture, food, places, etc. they also performed Zapin dance, and there was comedy performance from one of the senior. and they also had the newspaper game (=,='). they divided us into some groups, and each group had to design a cloth for their model (1 model/group). I like this game. my group was making a mermaid costume. then each model had to act like what they're supposed to be. all groups were very creative. there were lady gaga, african porn star, japanesse girl, hawaiian girl, etc. yeah, it was fun XD.
the second day was the campus tour, library orientation, and register ID.
the third day was the units enrollment session. this day I was alone. Pui Yen has finished her enrollment, so she didn't come. this day, I made some new friends (finally.. loll). I met Shirley, kit, and Amelia.
the last day was MOlympics (Monash Olympics). I didn't join this event coz i'm not that interested and tooo lazy lar.... lolll. eventhough I know this will be fun.. sigh.. I think my lazyness is stronger than my curiousity.. hehe

so that was my uni orientation day. I know,, it's soo boring, it's not that fun.. but I'm glad it's much more better than the orientation day in Indo, with a lot of bullying session :p

next monday I'll start my uni life and I hope it will be much better than my college life. full of fun and no stress.. hehehehe XD

^^'

walopun di palmville ini deket banget ama pyra (sama kayak condo..) tapi aku males kluar, jadi ya udah, cuma ngedengerin bunyinya doank.. wkwkwk

aku juga denger suara orang2 yang nonton diluar, pada sorak sorai bergembira menyambut tahun 2010.

kayaknya kembang apinya seru banget deh, bunyinya aja kayak maen tembak2an, gak berenti2, nyambunggg terus.. kira2 kembang apinya 15 menitan kali ya..

yah,, pokoknya bagus lah! XD

new year, new hopes, new stories = new experiences

2010-01-01T01:29:00.000+11:00

Hari ini tgl.31 december 2009. hari terakhir di tahun masehi ini. overall aku rasa tahun ini bisa jadi tahun yang penuh duka buat aku, dan juga buat negaraku.

tahun 2009 aku awali dengan masuknya aku ke college. ya.. balik lagi ke malay, hidup mandiri lagi, ngurus apa2 sendiri lagi, jauh dari keluarga, sedih kan? tapi itu masih bisa diatasi, homesick nya gak parah2 amat, apalagi aku cepet ketemu temen2 baru disini. next, aku dapet berita sedih, buat aku sih itu berita yang sangat2 menyedihkan, well, mending gak usah dibahas. abis itu banyak lagi hal2 yang buat aku sedih. sanking banyaknya aku ampe lupa.. hhaha.. tapi disela2 itu Allah juga memberikan aku berita2 bahagia, contohnya: Allah masih ngasih aku umur sampai detik ini, aku bisa lulus MUFY, bisa diterima di MONASH ( walopun under age =,='), dll.

nah, untuk negaraku Indonesia, tahun 2009 bisa dirangkum dengan 2 patah kata; "INDONESIA BERDUKA". banyak banget bencana2 alam yang terjadi di Indonesia. dari sabang sampai merauke, semuanya kena bencana. contohnya aja : gempa di padang (sumatera), di tasikmalaya (jawa), papua, banjir (jawa, papua, sulawesi), dll. belum lagi yang kebakaran lah, longsor lah, bendungan yang jebol lah, pokoknya banyak banget deh bencana di tahun ini. itu baru yang bencana2 alam, belum lagi bencana politik. ada kasus kecurangan pemilu yang sistematis, terstruktur dan masif (hahaa, familiar banget deh nih kata2 ^^), kasus Cicak vs Buaya, kasus century, gurita cikeas, ada kasus BLBI, kasus prita, mbok minah, dll. yah, kalo yang ini sih yang buat manusia, yang kena batunya juga manusia.. hehe

nah, untuk dunia, aku rasa yang paling2 menyedihkan adalah meninggalnya King of Pop, Michael Jackson. wuihh, beritanya dmana2 bo' ampe ada film nya lagi.. meninggalnya artis2 hollywood yang masih pada muda2 juga jadi surprise yang menyedihkan untuk menutup tahun 2009 ini. dan yang paling jadi penutup di tahun 2009 ini, tak lain dan tak bukan adalah K.H Abdurrahman wahid a.k.a Gus Dur. Gus Dur gak hanya terkenal di Indonesia, dunia luar pun mengenal beliau, buktinya aja, surat kabar times pun memberitakan kematiannya. Gus Dur meninggal tgl. 30 December 2009, dan beliau dimakamkan hari ini, tgl.31 december. di hari terakhir tahun 2009. tuh kan.. bener2 hadiah yang menyedihkan.

aku berharap, tahun 2010 bisa menjadi hari yang menyenangkan buat aku, buat orang2 disekitar aku, buat negaraku, pokoknya buat semuanya deh.. aku pengen, seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, keberuntungan pun selalu mengiringi jalan hidup kita semua. Lastly, Happy new year
everyone!!!!!!!! =)

31 december 2009

2010-01-01T01:00:00.000+11:00

hari ini gak ada sesuatu yang special sih sebenernya.. tapi lagi pengen cerita aja.. hhehe

aku bangun jam 12 siang (loll ^^’), aku mandi dan pas aku liat hp, ternyata ada telpon dari anaknya owner. Emang td malem aku sms dia sih, hehe. Aku kira dia masih muda, secara dia itu anaknya owner. Eh, ternyata pas tadi aku ketemuan ama dia, dia sudah tua =,= gak tua2 amat sih, om2lah.. hhoho.. dia bawa anaknya gt cewe, masih kecil, tapi gak mirip T_T

abis itu aku maenan laptop bentar trus pergi ke college buat collect passport. Ditengah jalan, hujan boo’.. emang pas aku mau pergi dah mendung sih.. wkwkwk.. untung aku bawa payung! =)

pas masuk ISO, rame banget orang disono, anak2 baru gt kayaknya, pada bawa brosur2 sunway gt.. lagian kan senen depan dah mulai masuk semester baru. Aku nulis nama abis itu pergi bentar buat bayar utang sama beli teh tarik. Lumayan lah,, ujan2 minum anget2.. hehe.. kayaknya aku baru skali ini deh ngutang di kantin, itu juga gara2 mas nya pasrah banget. Dia gak punya kembalian, eh malah nyuruh aku bayarnya kapan2.. (buset deh nih orang jualan gak niat amat ya..) dia gak bilang besok atau kapan, dia bener2 bilang “kapan2”. Tapi untungnya aku orang yang jujur (narsis mode on), jadi tadi aku bayarlah… XD

abis itu pas aku balik ISO, ruangan yang tadi rame dah sepiii, sempet nunggu bentar sih, abis itu langsung ngasih receiptnya, nunggu kira2 5 menit, abisitu nerima passport. Diwanti2 bentar sama orang ISO nya, dia bilang aku harus ngelewatin gerbang imigrasi sebelum tgl. 6 midnight.

Udah ngambil passport, aku mikir, mau balik atau gmana ya? Gak afdol rasanya kalo pergi cuma bentar (haha). Akhirnya aku lanjut ke pyra, walopun gak tau mau ngapain ^^’. Pyra ruameee banget, apalagi orang2 pacarannya.. beehh, betebaran dmana2. Kayaknya mereka pada mau nongkrong disono ampe tengah malem deh. Aku langsung ke TGV, tadinya pengen nonton Sherlock Holmes, tapi gara2 ngeliat antrian yang ruame banget, udah gt film nya masih lama dan tinggal few seats, akhirnya gak jadi deh. Setelah muter2 gak jelas, aku ke MPH, nyari.. ehmm… komik XD, tapi gak ada yang seru, kebanyakan sih dah aku baca.. haha.. abis itu aku ke guardian beli **, abis itu ke giant. Di giant aku muter2 gak jelas. Bener2 yang bolak balik kayak anak ilang. Oiya, aku akhirnya ketemu can opener. Yang ada didapur aneh banget, aku gak bisa makenya (gaptek). Jadi hari ini aku beli yang khusus buat round can. Tadinya aku hampir salah beli untuk yang butterfly can. Soalnya kerenan yang butterfly can sihh.. tapi takut gak bisa makenya, akhirnya aku beli aja yang paling jelas, “Round Can Opener”.. hehe.

Abis dari situ, aku muter2 gak jelas lagi. Aku pengen makan, tapi gak laper dan gak mood makan apa2. Pengen beli apa2, tapi gak tau mau beli apa. (gak jelas). Akhirnya aku balik deh.. hehe

desperado

2010-01-01T00:00:00.000+11:00

Haduuh, kayaknya aku bener2 dah stress deh disini. Aku waktu itu berdoa, “Ya Allah, mudah2an aku gak bosen slama disini”. Dan ternyata, Allah ngabulin doa aku, aku bener2 gak bosen. Tapi parahnya, aku gak bosen karna aku ngerjain hal2 gak jelas bin useless. Aku cuma internetan, baca komik, makan dan tidur kayak kebo.. sigh..

Seperti yang aku bilang di post sebelumnya (kalo ada yang baca), aku pengen banget nonton Sherlock holmes sama Alvin and the chipmunks 2. Tapi sayangnya, aku males pergi… zz.. aku pengen nonton tapi males pergi. =,=

Dan kayaknya emang aku gak bakal nonton disini deh, soalnya kalo di indo, wuihh, pasti susah banget dapet ijinnya dari my mommy. Tadi aja aku sebenernya males banget pergi ke ISO, tap berhubung besok public holiday, dan aku balik selasa depan. Dengan terpaksa aku pergi. Fiuhhh..

Sangking malesnya, aku juga sama skali gak ngerapiin kamarku yang dah kayak kapal pecah. Secara aku baru pindahan, jadi kardus beterbaran, isinya juga masih berantakan. . hehe..

Haduhh, tapi besok atau besok aku harus bener2 ngerapiin kamar aku. Karna lusa aku mau pergi. Udah gt ntar baliknya baru hari selasa itu pun cuma ngambil barang yg mau dibawa ke jkt. Jadi , I have no time anymore!! SEMANGAT!!! Hehe XD

otakku gatel

2009-12-28T02:05:00.007+11:00

Otak aku lagi gatel nih. Lagi pengen mikirin ttg buku yang baru aja di launching, eh malah langsung dilarang peredarannya. Aku emang gak tau persis isi buku itu. Apalagi aku cuma tau beritanya dari media. Tapi yang aku tau, presiden gak suka ama isi buku tersebut. Mungkin karena itu pula buku itu tiba2 hilang dari peredaran. banyak masyarakat yang jadi penasaran, “ Emang apa sih isi buku itu? Kok presiden aja ampe turun tangan. Emang gak ada pekerjaan lain ya?” yah, mungkin itu pikiran segelintir orang diluar sana. Tentunya masih banyak lagi pikiran2 lain, yang ujung2nya semakin membuat penasaran si empunya pikiran untuk membeli buku itu. Aku juga jadi penasaran. Jadi pengen beli. Biar bisa tau persis apa yang diributin orang. yah supaya up to date aja.. hehe

Dari semua pikiran yang ada di otak aku, aku tau persis, pasti ini ada sangkut pautnya sama politik. Ya.. aku memang hanya rakyat biasa, umurku pun belum genap 17 thn, ijasah sma pun aku tak punya. Dan tak akan punya! Bukannya masalah financial atau apa. Itulah yang namanya pilihan hidup. Toh sudah telat jikalau aku ingin menyesalinya. Aku memang buta ttg peta politik. Jujur saja, aku juga tak tahu apa itu peta politik. Apa itu seperti peta kota Jakarta, yang tertulis disitu nama jalan2 di ibukota, ataukah itu seperti peta buta yang harus aku pelajari dibangku sd. Entah bagaimana rupanya. Tapi itulah yang sering aku dengar di televisi. Dimana orang2 pintar dan yang merasa pintar muncul memberikan opininya. Toh tak satupun dari mereka yang bisa memberikan penyelesaian ttg masalah2 yang terjadi di negaraku ini.

Tapi sebagai makhluk social, boleh kan aku memberikan komentar. Semoga saja tidak ada pihak yang merasa tersinggung. Kan bahaya kalau ada yang melaporkanku karna melanggar uu ITE, iya kan pak menteri? Bisa jadi tenar pula nanti aku di televisi.. hehe

Insting aku yang tak mengerti politik ini mengatakan, pasti ada yang tak benar dengan negaraku ini. Ini jaman modern bung! Janganlah sebuah karya sastra diadu dengan kekuasaan. Tak pantaslah rasanya, di Negara yang orang bilang Negara demokrasi, yang orang2 bilang semua rakyatnya boleh bebas berpendapat, tetapi ternyata itu hanyalah sebuah omong kosong belaka. Hanya hitam diatas putih yang tak ada didunia nyata.

Mungkin benar apa yang aku pernah dengar sebelumnya, rasa2nya sekarang ini jaman memang semakin kejam. Para penguasa di negaraku pun makin tak punya hati. Yang miskin bertambah miskin, yang kaya pun bertambah kaya. Ada sebuah reality yang sangat meyayat hati. Di sukabumi, ada tomat yang hanya dihargai Rp 150,- per kilonya. Dapat apa dengan uang 150 rupiah?! Permen pun paling hanya 1 buah. Kerja keras para petani hanya dihargai segitu. Coba kita bandingkan dengan harga tomat dipasar swalayan. Tentu bedanya jauh sekali. Mungkin dengan 150 rupiah pun, tak boleh kita dapat 1 buah tomat. Sungguh malang nasibmu wahai para petani. Disaat yang sama, banyak orang2 yang perbulannya bisa mendapatkan puluhan juta rupiah. Mereka bukan petani tomat tentunya. Yah, mungkin itulah takdir Tuhan. Yang kaya tetap kaya, yang miskin pun tetap miskin.

Pak presiden yang terhormat, bukalah pintu hati bapak. Janganlah kekuasaan membuat hati bapak buta. Tengoklah rakyatmu yang semakin miskin dari hari kehari. Tengoklah orang2 yang harus menderita karenamu. Janganlah nafsu duniawi menguasaimu. Katakanlah benar bila itu benar, dan katakanlah salah bila itu salah. Kebenaran memang terkadang menyakitkan. Tapi ingat, Tuhan selalu melihat semua tingkah laku kita. Tuhan tak pernah tidur, Ia tahu semuanya. Kita hanya sebentar hidup didunia yang fana ini. Kehidupan kita yang sesungguhnya adalah di akhirat. Dimana semua dosa2 kita akan kita pertanggung jawabkan dihadapanNya. Aku memang tak mengerti politik, aku pun hanya seorang rakyat biasa, tapi aku juga punya hati nurani.

Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Alvin & Chipmunks 2 => MOVIES

2009-12-21T14:06:00.000+11:00

I just watched Avatar this evening. It’s a great movie! At first, I wasn’t that interested to watch that movie, but then I saw Ading’s status in her fb saying that she cried when she watched that movie. Then I thought, well it must be a great movie, since Ading is a tomboy girl, and I don’t think she can cry just by watching those drama movies. I also asked Tika whether she knows about this movie. She said she is very interested to watch it. “So, this must be a good movie..” I said that to myself.

I went there after I went to college for my passport, and etc. and I went there by myself. Yeah, I watched that movie alone. I didn’t really go there on purpose; I just went there to see whether there is a good movie playing within that time. And when I saw the screen, Avatar was gonna play 20 more minutes. So I queued, and when I got my ticket, it’s just 5 mins before the movie play.

It was a good movie. The main character is very handsome. Loll. But I hate the woman. She’s blue and kinda rough as a woman. She’s more like a monster rather a blue woman. The story is very touching but I couldn’t cry even though I tried to. I think it’s because of my very insensitive feeling.

I knew from Dila that Sherlock Holmes and Alvin and the chipmunks 2 will be out soon (24^th December). Since I got nothing to do except those school stuff, I think I’m gonna watch these movies (Even if I got many things to do, I’ll absolutely still go to watch them XD).

MUFY Graduation Night =)

2009-12-18T13:56:00.000+11:00

16^th of December will be a memorable event for all MUFY students who came to MUFY Graduation Night. It was held in Sunway Hotel & Resort, nearby our College. There are a lot of students came, but not all as it’s not compulsory for everyone to come. So yeah, there are some of us who didn’t come. I went there with my mom and mbak zulfa. They stayed in my apartment while they were here, coz it’s very close to the graduation place. I had a good time there. People who were sitting in one table with me were me, my mom, mbak zulfa, Pu Yen, Nicky, her dad, her sister, her sister’s boyfriend, Alan, and Alan’s mom. There’re 10 people in each table.

The graduation here is kinda different with the one that you usually see in Jakarta. This one was not that formal as the main event was not about the graduation, it’s more about the dinner. That’s why they put us in round tables. I forgot how many type of food they served but they always served food after each event finished. E.g. after the opening speech from Pn. Norly, then they’ll serve us one type of food, then it will be continued by next event, then food again.

We took some pictures there, and thanks to Alan’s mom who brought a handy cam. She recorded me when I was receiving my mock certificate on the stage (YES, it’s MOCK! It’s even written there).

Congrats to Pui yen for getting 2 awards and scholarship from Sunway. She got 1 award for fund math A and another 1 for fund math B. well, I didn’t surprise about that. She was very diligent and smart. She’s smarter than me but she took fund math, while me who was not that smart, and skipped some stages of education chose math. I often asked her to help me with my homework =)

So yeah, I had a good time there and congrats to all MUFY GRADUATES! XD

Alan, Dila, Nicky, Ima, Pui Yen

MUFY

2009-12-18T13:51:00.000+11:00

Time runs so fast. I just realized that I’ve just finished my foundation program. It means I’ve been studying in Sunway College for 1 year. Wow!

People here are nice and kind. You can easily be friends with them. There are not many Indonesians in my intake. It’s only 5 of us; 3 girls and 2 boys. And I think that’s what put us together. It’s me, Dila, Nicky, Josh, and Alan. Dila, Josh, Alan and I are from Jakarta, while Nicky is from Pontianak. Josh and Nicky came from same high school and that’s why I knew him. We got I more friend, she is Pui Yen. She came from around here (Malaysian). She is also nice and kind... =)

Each of us got our different characteristics. Dila is very girly. She likes make up, skirts, shopping, gossip girls, and etc. things that are very girly. Lol. Nicky is kind of a tomboy girl. She likes to play computer games (esp. DOTA), likes to edit pictures, never wear skirt, likes sleeping a lot, and very forgetful (I call her nenek ;p). But she likes music and painting; she took an art class once a week with all those professional painters. Ya,, so you can call her an artist ^^. Josh is the weirdest guy I’ve ever met. He also got a cute name (Georgius, so it’ll sound like Gorgeous ;p). He also like to play DOTA (DOTA freak), and he wants to be a doctor. I think he is the sweetest guy I’ve ever known. He’s just different from my guy friends before. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t go clubbing, doesn’t smoke, and etc. the bad things that guys like to do. Besides that, he likes to go to church, he’s one of the very religious person (I think he got a talent to be a priest in church). So, it’s very hard to find someone like him. But he’s not in MUFY anymore. He moved to his old school in the second semester. He’s taking A-level now.

Another one is Alan. I don’t really know him, and therefore, I couldn’t talk much about him. I just knew that he got a girlfriend who he really loved. One more is Pui Yen a.k.a Steorra. She’s very nice. She’s my econs classmate since semester one. She’s very smart and diligent. So if you want to ask anything about study, just ask her! ^^ she likes manga and anime, and she joined anime club at college. While Nicky and I, we joined badminton club for fun. Lol. Last one is me. I don’t know how to describe myself. Ya it’s me. I like to sleep a lot, and I don’t really like to go out very often. I also like to read Japanese comics which have been translated into Bahasa Malaysia (some people surprised when they know I understand Bahasa Malaysia =,=). Nicky and Dila often think that I’m weird since sometimes I like to grin without anything funny happen (and Nicky thinks that I was thinking about porn stuff (read = mesum). Actually, I’m grinning when I suddenly remember about something funny, so while I was thinking about that funny stuff, I’ll grin automatically. So, I’m not weird right? =)

I think those differences put us together. You know where to go if you want to ask about makeup and fashion stuff, you know where to go if you want to ask about computer thingy, you know where to ask if you have difficulty with your study, and etc. each of us help each other, and that’s what friends are for right? And I’m very proud to call them my friends. Love you guys.

After we graduate from MUFY, Dila, Pui Yen, and I will continue our study here, Alan will continue his study to Monash College (if I’m not mistaken), while Nicky will continue her study in Melbourne. So I think, I just can wish all the best for Nicky and Alan. I hope they’ll do well there. I also hope all of us who stay here will remain friends, although we are not in MUFY anymore. GOOD LUCK FOR ALL OF US =)

Malu (aku) Jadi Orang Indonesia

2009-12-07T00:47:00.002+11:00

Kmrn malem aku ikut ibu ke acara pelantikan PMII di Pamekasan, Madura. ibu diundang buat orasi kebangsaan. tema acara malam itu adalah "Apa kabar Indonesiaku?" hmm.. lumayan menarik juga.. ibu pun memilih untuk memulai orasinya dengan membaca beberapa potong bait puisi dari seorang penyair yang sangat mahsyur di Indonesia ini, tentu saja Bapak Taufiq Ismail. puisi yang ibu pilih berjudul, Malu (aku) Jadi Orang Indonesia.

Setelah aku perhatiin isi puisinya, ternyata itu bener2 mencerminkan keadaan Indonesia saat ini. ya ampuun.. kayaknya kiamat bener2 akan dateng deh.. ini dia, aku selipin puisinya,, silahkan dibaca.. =)

I
Ketika di Pekalongan, SMA kelas tiga
Ke Wisconsin aku dapat beasiswa
Sembilan belas lima enam itulah tahunnya
Aku gembira jadi anak revolusi Indonesia
Negeriku baru enam tahun terhormat diakui dunia
Terasa hebat merebut merdeka dari Belanda
Sahabatku sekelas, Thomas Stone namanya,
Whitefish Bay kampung asalnya
Kagum dia pada revolusi Indonesia
Dia mengarang tentang pertempuran Surabaya
Jelas Bung Tomo sebagai tokoh utama
Dan kecil-kecilan aku nara-sumbernya
Dadaku busung jadi anak Indonesia
Tom Stone akhirnya masuk West Point Academy
Dan mendapat Ph.D. dari Rice University
Dia sudah pensiun perwira tinggi dari U.S. Army
Dulu dadaku tegap bila aku berdiri
Mengapa sering benar aku merunduk kini

II
Langit akhlak rubuh, di atas negeriku berserak-serak
Hukum tak tegak, doyong berderak-derak
Berjalan aku di Roxas Boulevard, Geylang Road, ebuh Tun Razak,
Berjalan aku di Sixth Avenue, Maydan Tahrir dan Ginza
Berjalan aku di Dam, Champs Élysées dan Mesopotamia
Di sela khalayak aku berlindung di belakang hitam kacamata
Dan kubenamkan topi baret di kepala
Malu aku jadi orang Indonesia.

III
Di negeriku, selingkuh birokrasi peringkatnya di dunia nomor satu,
Di negeriku, sekongkol bisnis dan birokrasi
berterang-terang curang susah dicari tandingan,
Di negeriku anak lelaki anak perempuan, kemenakan, sepupu
dan cucu dimanja kuasa ayah, paman dan kakek
secara hancur-hancuran seujung kuku tak perlu malu,
Di negeriku komisi pembelian alat-alat berat, alat-alat ringan,
senjata, pesawat tempur, kapal selam, kedele, terigu dan
peuyeum dipotong birokrasi
lebih separuh masuk kantung jas safari,
Di kedutaan besar anak presiden, anak menteri, anak jenderal,
anak sekjen dan anak dirjen dilayani seperti presiden,
menteri, jenderal, sekjen dan dirjen sejati,
agar orangtua mereka bersenang hati,
Di negeriku penghitungan suara pemilihan umum
sangat-sangat-sangat-sangat-sangat jelas
penipuan besar-besaran tanpa seujung rambut pun bersalah perasaan,
Di negeriku khotbah, surat kabar, majalah, buku dan
sandiwara yang opininya bersilang tak habis
dan tak utus dilarang-larang,
Di negeriku dibakar pasar pedagang jelata
supaya berdiri pusat belanja modal raksasa,
Di negeriku Udin dan Marsinah jadi syahid dan syahidah,
ciumlah harum aroma mereka punya jenazah,
sekarang saja sementara mereka kalah,
kelak perencana dan pembunuh itu di dasar neraka
oleh satpam akhirat akan diinjak dan dilunyah lumat-lumat,
Di negeriku keputusan pengadilan secara agak rahasia
dan tidak rahasia dapat ditawar dalam bentuk jual-beli,
kabarnya dengan sepotong SK
suatu hari akan masuk Bursa Efek Jakarta secara resmi,
Di negeriku rasa aman tak ada karena dua puluh pungutan,
lima belas ini-itu tekanan dan sepuluh macam ancaman,
Di negeriku telepon banyak disadap, mata-mata kelebihan kerja,
fotokopi gosip dan fitnah bertebar disebar-sebar,
Di negeriku sepakbola sudah naik tingkat
jadi pertunjukan teror penonton antarkota
cuma karena sebagian sangat kecil bangsa kita
tak pernah bersedia menerima skor pertandingan
yang disetujui bersama,

Di negeriku rupanya sudah diputuskan
kita tak terlibat Piala Dunia demi keamanan antarbangsa,
lagi pula Piala Dunia itu cuma urusan negara-negara kecil
karena Cina, India, Rusia dan kita tak turut serta,
sehingga cukuplah Indonesia jadi penonton lewat satelit saja,
Di negeriku ada pembunuhan, penculikan
dan penyiksaan rakyat terang-terangan di Aceh,
Tanjung Priuk, Lampung, Haur Koneng,
Nipah, Santa Cruz dan Irian,
ada pula pembantahan terang-terangan
yang merupakan dusta terang-terangan
di bawah cahaya surya terang-terangan,
dan matahari tidak pernah dipanggil ke pengadilan sebagai
saksi terang-terangan,
Di negeriku budi pekerti mulia di dalam kitab masih ada,
tapi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari bagai jarum hilang
menyelam di tumpukan jerami selepas menuai padi.

IV
Langit akhlak rubuh, di atas negeriku berserak-serak
Hukum tak tegak, doyong berderak-derak
Berjalan aku di Roxas Boulevard, Geylang Road, Lebuh Tun Razak,
Berjalan aku di Sixth Avenue, Maydan Tahrir dan Ginza
Berjalan aku di Dam, Champs Élysées dan Mesopotamia
Di sela khalayak aku berlindung di belakang hitam kacamata
Dan kubenamkan topi baret di kepala
Malu aku jadi orang Indonesia.

TAUFIQ ISMAIL - 1998

become a mariner?? why not!!

2009-11-14T18:59:00.006+11:00

I found another interesting job last night!!!

I was sitting beside 2 Indonesian guys last night on the plane. They're coming back from Holland. it was very obvious that they are working there. I don't know what are their jobs but then, later, when we started talking, I found out that they're working on ship. sometimes cruise ship. Wow! so they already went to many places around the world. they can speak Holland, as they've been staying there for 5 months. and the good news is, they are just High Schoolers graduated. They didn't even finish their degree. One was studying in Trisakti University and he choose to drop himself out from the university after the 3rd semester, and the other one, I don't know.

yeah, they told me about their lives on ship. I think, it's such a cool job, isn't? they said they'll go for 9 months on ship, before they can go back to Indonesia. But they go around the world, so I think it's okay if you have to stay far away from your family for 9 months, but you can take a closer look at other countries. You'll get a lot of experience from it. You can have many friends around the world, you can see how beautiful the world is. and I was very envy to them when they told me about their fishing stories. how they fished in the middle of the sea, and they caught very big fishes, lobsters, crabs, and all. WOW, IT SEEMS VERY FUN!! they got room to sleep, they have waiters who will take care of their food, and they also get a big amount of salary. if I'm not mistaken, the starting salary is $600/month, but this guy already got $ 1000++/month. see, very big amount of money right? but they have to pay some amount of money to the agent every time they go on board. $1,500 for the first time, but he said, if you've already work there for long time, you'll just have to pay them $2,500.

they told me alot of stuff, like this one guy, he can cook many kind of indonesian food, while the other guy was just same like me, we can't cook anything except Indomie!! lolll XD

so like when he was talking about how to cook rendang, mentioning the ingredients and the steps to cook it, we were like @.@ we were just staring at him, having no idea about what he's talking about. and when he saw our faces. he was kinda hopeless ==' lolll. I think he's talking to the wrong people.. wkwkwkwk

so yeah, that's my experience on my way back home. I think. to be a mariner will be one of my choice if I wanted to look for job. oh God,, can't wait to be a mariner!!! =)

what a busy day

2009-11-14T02:00:00.003+11:00

I was stuck in a very heavy traffic jam

Jakarta oh Jakarta

You never free from traffic jam

Especially today, Friday. And it was raining, so I think you already knew how it would be. Weekend + rain… fiuhh..

It took me almost 3 hours from the airport to my home. So long right? =,=

I came back to my home town today. And as I told before, I also moved my stuff today. So yeah, I was very busy today. I start my day at 9 am. Looking for a taxi to help me move my stuff, and luckily I found a nice Pak Cik. His name is Kelasi Tua. He's nice, he helped me to carry all my stuff, even the heaviest one, he carried it on his shoulder. When I asked him how much is it, then he just said, if what I pay is not enough then it’s ok, but if it is more than it should be, it’s not okay. Loll. I don’t know how much I should give him. So I just gave him RM 40, then he gave me back RM 20. But then, I was very thankful to him so I gave him another RM 10. Actually, he ignored it, but I just left him, so I guess he had no choice then... ^^ See, how nice he is.

After that, I straight away went to pyramid; I ate my breakfast while waiting for Nicky to come. After that we went to Maybank, coz both, Nicky and I wanted to ask something. Nicky wanted to ask Maybank’s SWIFT code, and I wanted to ask about the cheque that I’ve submitted but haven’t being inserted into my account. And do you know what the people said? They said that the check was rejected, as it has exceeded 6 months. OMG, I’m sooooo “gaptek”. It’s my first time to get a cheque, so I didn’t know that cheque got expired date.. =,=’

After that, I accompanied Nicky eating her breakfast, then we walked around for awhile, then we went back. I opened my laptop for awhile, then packed my bags, and when I saw my watch, it’s already 2.30++.lol. And I asked Pak Kelasi Tua to pick me at 2.30. so when I called him, he said he was going somewhere as he was waiting for me so long and I didn’t call him (he didn’t have my number). So when I called him, he came back.

So I went to airport with Pak Kelasi tua. When I got there, it was almost 4 and my flight is at 5.10. I went to check in counter. I knew that, my luggage was overweight, it’s 30++ kg. But then, I was shocked when the lady said that they’ll charge me 15 Euros/kg. And if they converted it to ringgit, it would be RM 77. And after they calculated my overweight luggage, they said I had to pay RM 900++! GOD!!!! I asked the lady whether she can give me any discount or not, but the lady just said that all I need to do if I don’t want to pay is to remove 12 kgs from my luggage! And at that time, there was not many time left, I just got 15 mins before the check in counter close! Huhhh!!! So I went to a place which has not many people, and move out some of my stuff from my luggage! When I went to check in again, the time left is only 5 mins. Luckily, I could remove 11 kg from my luggage, so it’s weight became 22.1 kg. And the lady luckily passed with free 2kgs overweight. Fiuhhh… but now, I had to carry 3 super heavy hand carriages… =.=’

This is the biggest amount of money that I’ve ever saved in my life! WOWWW!

packing2

2009-11-13T00:30:00.004+11:00

Today was kinda busy day for me. yea, I got my last final exam today (luckily it's not that hard ^^), then went to bought the graduation tickets, then I started packing up ALL my stuff. not only those stuff that I wanted to bring back home, but ALL my belongings here.

I'm moving out people!! I'm gonna move from this condo to Palmville. It's just an apartment near by, but it's still move right? so I packed all my stuff, those that I wanted to bring back, I put them into my luggage, and the rest, I put them into boxes. Finally, I finished pack all my stuff, only small2 things left. Here, I used 2 big boxes, 1 medium box, 2 small boxes, and etc. it's a lot right?? but it's not all my stuff yet. I need to bring back most of my clothes as I don't have any luggage left. I just have 1 luggage which I will bring along with me to Jakarta. and if you can see it now, it's really full, and I still got some stuff to put in. now I realized that actually I have a lot of stuff. loll.

actually I wanted to move them this evening. but then, there was a heavy long rain, and there was no taxi out there, so yea, I decided to postpone it to tomorrow. and it means, tomorrow will be as busy as today or maybe a lot busier. I'll have to wake up early, coz the people in Palmville need to leave early tomorrow. Opi got exam, and she said Kinta needs to go around 10 am. so I better go there early. then I need to go to pyra coz there is something that I wanted to buy, then I'll go back to condo to pack the rest of my stuff, make sure I don't leave anything here, go to Hostel Office to check out (I don't know how long would it take), then straight away go to airport.

the work still not finished yet, at airport, I have to check in my luggage, which I knew that it is obviously overweight (I hope the guy there is nice so he won't charge me XD). if the people there charge me, then I have to pay some money and I hope that I'll have enough money to pay them. after that problem settled, then I'll just have to wait for my flight while making sure that everything is alright. =)

I hope tomorrow will be sunny, no rain, no windy, no cloudy. and I hope everything will going according to my plan. so little time and so many things to do!! Help me GOD!!

Happy birthday Pui Yen + MJ's This Is It

2009-11-09T00:58:00.004+11:00

Yesterday was the day when Pui Yen was born to the world ^^

Yup, yesterday was her 18th birthday!!!

Pui yen

Pui Yen

Pui yen & he birthday card =)

Dila and Pui Yen

while DIla and Pui Yen were hugging each other, me and Nicky were like..

Nicky and Me

she treated us in Italiannies. hmm.. yummy!! =)

we brought her present + cake. the cake was delicious, it's marshmallow chocolate cheese cake! I love cheese cake!!! yeayyyyy

Dila, Pui Yen, Nicky, and Me ^^

After that, we watched MICHAEL JACKSON'S THIS IS IT. it's very cool! it's WOW! I couldn't explain how great it is. even though it's just the rehearsals, but it shows the hard works that they did for the concert. I can't imagine if the concert was really being held. I think it would be the best concert ever! but it's impossible, isn't? Michael is already gone. he already rest in peace. I hope there will be no any bad rumour about him. Let people remember him as a great successful King of Pop.

Now, I don't really care whether he died as a moslem or not. if he did, then it will be good. if not, May Allah SWT bless him. Amin.

at the end, we took a picture in front of Pyramid, for the first and the last time! loll

although we often went to pyra, but we never take any picture there. we asked the security guard to take a picture of us. Thank You Pak Cik =)

medical check up

2009-11-04T16:41:00.002+11:00

I just came back from hospital

today I did my medical check up (first time in my life T_T )

I went there around 8.30, and I just started my medical check up at 11!!

can u imagine?? I have to wait 2 and a half hour just to do that!!

they said that I'm underage, so I need parent or guardian to accompany me. then I told them I have no guardian and my parents are in Jakarta.

so they tried to call monash university ( I don't know what for ), and I was just waiting and waiting for the monash people to call back.

yeah, I was just sitting there alone,, looking at the patients came and out while waiting for the call.

suddenly, my phone was ringing, and someone that I never think of was calling me. yeah, it was unexpected, the call was from ms. Jen. she was my english teacher for part A last sem. I didn't know what to do, and there is sign " No Handphone ", so I was just let it vibrated until it stopped ( my phone was in silent mode ). few minutes later, the monash people called back, and they asked me some questions, like when did I get the form? who gave me the form? and etc. when I was talking on the phone, the manager was there, she said she'll sign the form for me. so I gave back the phone, and the problem was solved! thanks to her!!! =)

so, that's actually the problem. it's because I have no guardian here, so they couldn't allow me to do the medical check up, as they said, it against the law (what the heck?!). they said only those who are 18 and above can do medical check up by themselves. as for me, I need someone to accompany me... :(

I started with registration, then height & weight measurement, then consultation, colour blind test, then I had to go to laboratorium, then to X-Ray department, then went back to the first place again. it took me almost 2 hours, faster than what I was expected, and shorter than the time I wasted to wait for that stupid call! ==

my review for Sunway hospital is GOOD! the staff were kind, the got hi-tech machine, doctors also kind, and the X-ray test was much better than the one that i did in Jakarta. one more thing that made me suffer, but it showed how professional they are, they obey the rules! =)

econ's trial

2009-10-26T23:06:00.003+11:00

Last saturday, I did my trial =)

I didn't have enough time to study, and i didn't have the mood to study either. loll

that Friday night, I really didn't have a good mood to study.

I forced myself to study, ya at least i could get something in my brain.. but then, I was just able to read very few pages, then I fell asleep.. =)

it's really damn boring lar...

I was just able to read like, 2 or 3 pages then sleep again loll

it's just continue like that for that whole night =,=

and the morning finally came, I went to college, and when I came, the teacher was already there and asked me to walk faster, coz the exam will begin soon. so I entered the room, sat, and just staring at the paper.

we got 10 minutes reading time, and I was just day dreaming while everyone was reading that paper with serious face.. lolll

I really have no mood for exam that time. I was just try to write as much as I could. and finally I finished it. ya, it took me 1hour ++ to finish it, which was surprisingly fast. not because I really knew the answers, but it's because I didn't have any idea anymore. actually I wanted to sleep, but the room was so cold, and made me freeze.

I didn't expect much for that trial, I just hope that I could pass the exam. and luckily, Allah swt fulfil my wish. yeah,, I passed!! loll the mark was not that high, but I passed and I'm so thankful of that =)

these papers made me sick ==

these papers made me thankful =)

2009-10-26T00:45:00.006+11:00

I was so bored this morning, so i tried to watch "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" again

it's a nice movie,, ya by looking at the title and the cover, you should know that it's a family movie..

when I watched it, I was very curious about Elliot Murtaugh. ya, the boy who acted as Elliot Murtaugh was really look like Jacob Black in "Twilight". I thought both of them are brothers, but then I found out that they are just the same person.

OMG, within 3 years, you can changed that much!! I never expect that a little boy could be a hot guy just in 3 years.. hmm.. I wonder how..

then I tried to find his bibliography, and found out that he is just 17 years old! just 1 year older than me.. but why does he look so old.. I thought he might be 19 or 20 years old already. and there's one more thing that I'm very surprised about him, he's a black belt in martial arts. he won many competitions. he even won the junior world championship! wow, how cool is he.. charming, strong, rich, famous, and young! wow.. what a perfect guy.. loll

it's a nice movie, and they got some charming boys, and they also have story about gay people. loll

Pak JK

2009-10-20T01:50:00.003+11:00

untuk Pak JK yang saya kagumi
hari ini adalah hari terakhir Pak JK sebagai wapres R.I.
Pak JK yang terkenal ramah, mengakhiri jabatannya dengan senyum yang sumringah pula, sama dengan saat beliau dilantik menjadi wapres 5 tahun lalu. tak terkesan rasa kecewa dalam raut wajahnya. pak JK yang kita kenal tak pernah berubah. walaupun ia sudah dikhianati banyak pihak, dicaci maki banyak pihak. toh ia tetap lah JK yang berhati besar.
pastilah ada rasa kecewa dalam dirinya, setelah kalah menjadi presiden, setelah partai yang dipimipinnya meninggalkannya, tentulah ada rasa sakit hati walau sedikit. karena Pak JK pun hanyalah manusia biasa.
Pak JK telah menunjukkan kepada semuanya, beliau bisa mundur dengan terhormat. jasa2nya akan terus dikenang oleh semua yang mengetahuinya.
terimakasih atas jasa2mu terhadap negeri pertiwi ini. kan kami kenang selalu jasamu. kamipun akan terus menunggu kiprah2mu selanjutnya.
sukses selalu pak JK!!

anime freak

2009-10-15T00:43:00.004+11:00

sorry for the late update ! ^^'

I've been very "busy" these days.. loll

it seems like I've changed my movie preference from those western movies to Japanese movie =)

I was falling in love with death note last week ^_^ i know, i know.. it's kinda old movies but ya.. it's a nice movie.. i watched both the movies ( 3 parts ) as well as the anime.. ya.. my heart have been stolen by L Lawliet.. love you Ryuuzaki! lolll

L Lawliet a.k.a L a.k.a Ryuuzaki a.k.a Ryuki Hideki

and this week, i'm become a freak of detective conan anime ;p

i'm one of conan freaks since primary, and last week i just found out that they have some conan anime in xsocam =='

actually, i usually bought the comics here ( in bahasa Malaysia ;p ) and I've been waiting for months for the new volume to be released, but sadly, it hasn't come out till today.. :(

Pui Yen said that the volume is actually already at 70++, but those volumes are sold in Chinese language.. zz... and she also said that actually we can read it from onemanga.com. sometimes i open onemanga.com to read naruto, but why i never think that maybe conan is also there?? heh, how stupid am i =.='

because of the freakness that i got within these weeks, those common japanese words sound familiar to me.. some words like "itadakimasu", "tantei", "atashi" and many others..

ya... after i watched those movies, sometimes i understand some words they said.. lolll

see, movies not only give u bad effects, but also benefits.. =)

orang2 pada sibuk ngomongin bencana yang lagi musim di indonesia, gak mau ikut2an, mending nostalgia sama lagu2 lawas terfavorit. lagu2 iwan fals yang sempet jadi kontroversi dimasa lampau.. ini dia salah satu lagu favorit saya, ya.. pas juga kan sama yang lagi happening sekarang2 ini? masih belom ketinggalan jaman kan?? selamat bernostalgia......

Artist : Iwan Fals
Lirik Lagu : Iwan Fals - Surat Buat Wakil Rakyat

Lirik Lagu Iwan Fals - Surat Buat Wakil Rakyat

Untukmu yang duduk sambil diskusi
Untukmu yang biasa bersafari
Di sana, di gedung DPR

Wakil rakyat kumpulan orang hebat
Bukan kumpulan teman teman dekat
Apalagi sanak famili

Di hati dan lidahmu kami berharap
Suara kami tolong dengar lalu sampaikan
Jangan ragu jangan takut karang menghadang
Bicaralah yang lantang jangan hanya diam

Di kantong safarimu kami titipkan
Masa depan kami dan negeri ini
Dari Sabang sampai Merauke

Saudara dipilih bukan dilotre
Meski kami tak kenal siapa saudara
Kami tak sudi memilih para juara
Juara diam, juara he’eh, juara ha ha ha……

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat

Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu ’setuju’

back to nature :D

2009-10-03T21:55:00.004+10:00

time to go back to nature.

on my last day there, we went to fruit plantation there, nothing special actually. just a common fruit garden. I think taman buah mekarsari is much more better than this. (sorry to say that). there were many of us, so they divided us into 3 cars, and I got the last car with old2 people =='

after that, we went to sewu waterfalls ( curug sewu ). i just knew that they also used curug to call waterfall, I thought it's just for West Java area. the view was beautiful, although we didn't go really close to it. we just looked at it from the high place there.ya, we didn't have much time to explore that place. however, i think it will be much better if we can explore more. i'm sure there are a lot of interesting places there. hmm.. I think, I'm going to ask my mom to go there again someday. I hope so. there are a lot of people who were selling guava. they didn't buy it, they just took it from that place, and sell it to tourists. it was very cheap, just Rp 3500,- per kg!! can u imagine that!! damn cheap! my mom bought like 13 kgs of it, or maybe more.. coz she bought from 3 different sellers.. ^^'

when we were in kendal, we went to go for fishing at my uncle's workplace. there were just some staffs who were waiting for us ^^

my youngest bro was immediately open his clothes and jumped into the pool. it's not swimming pool by the way, it's just a pool, connected to a river, and the water was chocolate.. anyone wants to play with mud?? XD

he was swimming with other little kids, me and my cousins were fishing, and the old people were just sitting, enjoying the nice view there. we were like competing to catch the fish and luckily, I am very proud to mention that I am the Winner!!!!!! woohoooooooo XD

I caught 3 fishes ( 1 small, 1 medium, 1 large ^^ ) and the rest, caught no fish at all!! how lucky am I ^^

can you see me with my fish? XD

at the end, I only could bring the large one because the 2 other is too small, it's okay.. at least I will be able to eat a fish that I caught by myself :D, they also gave us many fishes that they already prepared for us. thanks guys!

at night, we made something like bbq party, with the fishes, corns as well as sweet potato. we made such a good campfire, and fireworks party. it was such a blast for me! i think my bro bought too much fireworks until we really get bored of it.. ya... like what many people said, something too much is not good! the fish was delicious, although it's not me who grilled it. the sweet potato was also nice, I just try little bit, coz I was too full.

it's nice you know, to have such a family gathering, enjoying the night together while watching beautiful fireworks :D

Waktu itu ada perkenalan kelas 2 dengan kelas 1 yang baru.. tadinya males, tapi karna wajib ya.. mau gmana lagi? paling2 cuma dengerin ceramah dari pak Martin aja.. =='

Kuperhatikan satu per satu wajah anak baru tahun ini, lalu pandanganku terhenti pada sesosok wajah yang terkesan sangat familiar. DIA!!! tak bisa lagi tatapanku berpaling ke tempat lain. terpaku aku melihatnya. ya, itu dia! walaupun senyumannya sedikit lain dari apa yang aku ingat. ya, toh waktu telah berubah. mungkin senyumannya pun berubah seiring waktu berjalan. satu per satu anak memperkenalkan diri. "nama saya A!", "nama saya B!", "nama saya P****!"

Dug! seakan jantungku berhenti berdetak. ternyata ia bukan dia! tertunduk lesu aku menatap lantai. ya, tatapanku kosong. hanya perasaan kecewa yang ada dalam hatiku.

ya, mungkin memang belum waktunya untuk bertemu. seandainya saja itu dia.. mungkin ceritanya akan lain..

Jakarta, 2008

benar kata para pujangga, cinta itu memang buta, hingga aku tak sanggup untuk menemukannya

nginep di bekas rumah saikt belanda, ada yang brani??

2009-10-03T01:48:00.005+10:00

coba bayangin, tidur dibangunan bekas rumah sakit jaman belanda. yang ada kamar mandi super gede yang katanya dulu tempat untuk mandiin mayat. hmm.. siapa yang brani?? but it's okay, it's not as scary as what people might think. my uncle is now staying there with his little family ^^

it has many rooms, and all of them are very big, big kitchen as well, and many doors. and one think which is very important, it's not scary at all! XD

in front of the house, they got a tennis court, and behind the house, they have watermelon garden as well as rubber plantation. it's a very nice place where you can stay close with nature, no pollution, no noise, just peace =)

we did many things during our stay there.. here are some of our pictures XD

lebaran = ketupat ^^

2009-10-03T00:36:00.007+10:00

another story ^^

Lebaran di indonesia sangat identik dengan yang namanya ketupat. I just realised that I don't even know how you call ketupat in english. During hari raya my bro asked me what is ketupat in english. I was thinking, and trying to be creative XD, and I told him that ketupat is solid rice.. lolll

I just checked in my dict few second ago, and it's written rice cake boiled. rice cake boiled? it even worse than what I thought.. rice cake is okay, but putting boiled at the end of the name?? hmm.. what a weird name, and it's too long for just "ketupat" .. ya just forget it, i'll show some pictures we took during hari raya.. let's see what we got.

night before ~ Fireworks XD

some of the men ~ brothers,cousins and uncles

Do you see these men? they're all wearing batik.. loll XD.. we really love our heritage, so we love to wear batik.. I also wore batik today at college, many other indonesians also wearing batik today.. thanks to the UNESCO that made batik as our heritage, keep wearing batik people, and be proud of our traditional heritage. if we are not keeping them, who will?

Happy Batik Day!!!

some of the women (except that handsome guy I was carrying loll) ~ me, mom, aunt, cousins

Before I end my post, I got one more to show, gak afdol rasanya kalo dah nulis ttg ketupat tapi gak ada gambarnya ( hahaha ngarang abiss ).. below is my pic ( again.. ;p ) with rice cake (ketupat), at that night, I was so boring and had nothing to do, so I went to the kitchen and saw some people making ketupat, opor ayam, lepet ( do u know what it is?), and etc. At first, I actually wanted to help them, but at the end, my cousin and I were just taking pictures with those ketupat.. lolll XD

me with ketupat and lontong ~ someone told me that here, I look like TKW =='

Just want to share some stories about what I've been doing during Hari Raya break ^^

although it's just a week, but I had much fun and I was enjoying my holiday to the max lol

there was 1 morning, when my bro cooked an omelette it's not really that kind of omelette it's just fried egg with many things inside (telur dadar ^^), and everyone were saying that it's delicious, when it's finished, they asked me to cook for them =='

I was like, "okay, i'll make it.. it's just an 'omelette'", my bro and my cousin helped me to make it. we put almost everything we had in fridge lol. we put meat (kornet), shrimp, and etc. ( i forgot already XD). the omelette was thick, and we made 3 pieces of it. it was delicious XD

our super delicious 'omelette'

next is Shabu2, i'm not the one who made it actually, i was just 'helping' my mom by finishing it. lollll XD it was yummy, i really like it, we bought few types of sauces, we bought a lot of crab stick which I like most :D here are just some pics about me 'cooking' shabu2 ^^

curhatan alam

2009-09-09T19:14:00.003+10:00

hmm.. lagi pengen nulis yg serius2 nih buat post kali ini.. sekalian mau sedikit introspeksi.. ^^

Blakangan ini, banyak banget musibah yang udah Allah SWT berikan buat Indonesia. bulan ini aja udah ntah brapa banyak musibah yang terjadi. ada gempa di tasik, puting beliung di serang, tabrakan beruntun, truk yang kebalik, kelaparan di papua, bahkan hari ini pun ada gempa di sumbar + gak kalah ketinggalan, asap yang menutupi kota palembang (kalo gak salah). oiya, dan satu lagi musibah yang terjadi, jatuhnya Helikopter TNI AU di KalTim. musibah2 ini datang silih berganti di waktu yang sangat2 berdekatan.hingga detik ini, masih banyak para korban yang terlantar, yang berduka karna sanak saudaranya meninggal, yang sedih anggota keluarganya hilang, yang meratapi rumahnya yang hancur lebur diterpa bencana. sebaiknya kita mulai introspeksi diri. apakah ini hadiah dari Tuhan, ataukah ini justru peringatan atas kelakuan kita yang selama ini semakin menjadi2?

Di jaman modern ini, tlah banyak manusia yang melupakan Tuhan. terlalu sibuk dengan urusan duniawi, dan terlalu mendewa2kan uang dan kekuasaan. mungkin agama hanya sekedar sebuah identitas di KTP. ya Agama hanyalah sebuah identitas, tetapi bukan sebuah kepercayaan. yah, mungkin orang banyak yang berpikir, toh Tuhan gak keliatan, ngapain juga repot2 beribadah, mending gw cari duit, buat makan anak bini. Naudzubillahimdzalik. semoga kita bukan salah satu diantaranya.

Menurut saya, musibah2 ini bisa dilihat dari berbagai aspek. dari sudut agama, sudut politik, sudut paranormal, dan sudut2 lainnya. saya ingin menulis pandangan saya ttg musibah2 yang terjadi blakangan ini.

Saya rasa alam mulai marah. kehidupan sudah tidak berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. cuaca sudah berubah2 tanpa bisa diprediksi. manusia sidah melupakan Tuhan. melupakan kodratnya sebagai manusia. manusia telah menjadi makhluk yang sangat egois, tidak peduli kepada sesamanya, menindas sesamanya untuk mendapatkan kepuasan semu, terlebih lagi kepada alam. manusia telah merusak tanaman2, hutan2, hingga binatang2 di sekitarnya. illegal logging, hingga bom ikan pun sudah bukan hal yang aneh. binatang2 dibunuh, pohon2 ditebang, dibakar, hanya untuk kepentingan manusia, tanpa memperhatikan keseimbangan alam. dengan kekuasaan, dengan uang, manusia pun telah sanggup merubah takdir seseorang. yang harusnya menang jadi kalah, yang seharusnya sukses jadi gagal, yang seharusnya kaya jadi miskin. hati manusia telah berubah menjadi iblis. hanya mementingkan kepentingan diri sendiri. tertawa diatas penderitaan orang lain.

Ya, alam tengah mencurahkan isi hatinya kepada rakyat Indonesia yang serakah. kini mereka harus memetik buah dari apa yang mereka tanam. buah dari rasa egois mereka, rasa serakah mereka, dll. entah sampai kapan musibah ini akan berlanjut. semoga seluruh rakyat Indonesia bisa mengintrospeksi diri mereka, tidak hanya rakyat, tetapi juga para pemimpin. semua orang adalah pemimpin, paling tidak imam bagi dirinya sendiri. semoga mereka semua bisa bertobat, menyerahkan diri mereka kembali kepada Tuhan Semesta Alam, Allah SWT.

Kapan musibah ini akan berhenti? Wallahualam.

Menulis post ini, jadi inget lagunya Ebiet GAD, saya yakin semua orang tau banget lagu ini, sebuah lagu lama, yang pastinya udah gak asing ditelinga kita semua. diakhir post ini, sengaja saya selipkan lirik lagunya, buat kita yang ining mengenang kembali lagu beliau.. :D

Berita Kepada Kawan

perjalanan ini

trasa sangat menyedihkan

sayang engkau tak duduk

disampingku kawan

banyak cerita

yang mestinya kau saksikan

di tanah kering bebatuan

tubuhku terguncang

dihempas batu jalanan

hati tergetar menatap

kering rerumputan

perjalanan ini pun

seperti jadi saksi

gembala kecil

menangis sedih ...

reff#

kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya

ketika di kutanya mengapa

bapak ibunya tlah lama mati

ditelan bencana tanah ini

sesampainya di laut

kukabarkan semuanya

kepada karang kepada ombak

kepada matahari

tetapi semua diam

tetapi semua bisu

tinggal aku sendiri

terpaku menatap langit

barangkali di sana

ada jawabnya

mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana

mungkin tuhan mulai bosan

melihat tingkah kita

yang selalu salah dan bangga

dengan dosa-dosa

atau alam mulai enggan

bersahabat dengan kita

coba kita bertanya pada

rumput yang bergoyang
