Friday Shopping

 


Went shopping to Tanah Abang with my Aunty today. One of my monthly routine activity, I could say. But don't judge! We don't (only) purchase goods for ourselves, but we purchase goods in order to sell it again. My aunty usually re-sells all the goods she bought here to her friends at her office in Lampung. Me? No I don't re-sell, I just accompany my aunty and be a helpful niece, and usually I would get freebies afterwards, haha. Hard work never betrays, right? :p

Today, I saw a cleaner-and-more-well-organized Tanah Abang. No more street vendors as it has been cleared up and relocated to Blok G. I could barely see the result, the street was waaaay more neat--no more street vendors occupy the road, many Satpol PP guard the area, and the most important thing is: no traffic congestion!! Kudos Pak Jokowi and teams, I like your great great job soooo much *two thumbs up*. 

Shopping here usually makes my feet stiff, but however I like it cause I can see beautiful clothes, force me to do some work-out (you know that Tanah Abang consists of so many block and floors, right?) and I can update my knowledge of fashion trends as well. You know that fashion trend changes so fast, no? There were Manohara blouse and Syahrini Kaftan era, but today it becomes Ayu Ting Ting praying dress era, hahaha. Btw, today I saw several people brought their suitcase along while shopping. Yes, yes, that same suitcase we use to bring our clothes while going on holiday. Exactly. I had no idea why they do that, but then, after looking at those ultra heavy plastic bags... I think that's not a bad idea after all.

Oh-so-HEAVY

Safari Park


Last Saturday (9/3) I together with Chely, Bahi, Fajar, and Vino went to Safari Park, Bogor. We spent a   whole day there, but unfortunately it was a rainy day, so some of the animals were just sitting down and even sleeping. But we were still happy anyway! So refreshing and  exciting! Mammals, Birds, Reptils, Amphibians... every animal was cute and amazing.

If you are 6 year-old or older and want to pay a visit , you have to pay IDR 140.000 per peson; if you are 5 y.o. or younger, you just have to pay IDR 130.000. Go there by car? you have to payIDR 15.000 for your car, or IDR 5000 if you go by motorcycle.

Entschuldigung

Di kantor, beberapa jam sebelum jam pulang karyawan.

Pak Ahmad—salah satu staff di divisi tempat saya magang—bercerita soal keikhlasan dan kaitannya dengan kesehatan manusia. Setau saya, beliau memang dikenal bisa dan biasa mengobati orang dengan cara memijat dan membimbing “pasiennya” untuk mengingat Tuhan, berdoa menyebut nama Allah dan berusaha ikhlas dan pasrah akan segala sesuatu yang dihadapi. Usut punya usut, banyak teman-teman karyawan yang mengakui bahwa metode tersebut terbukti manjur dan dapat mengurangi bahkan menghilangkan rasa sakit yang mereka dirasakan.

Menurut beliau, kunci untuk sehat itu mudah, mengingat Tuhan, memohon ampun, berpikir positif, berprasangka baik, dan memperbaiki tali silaturahmi dengan sesama manusia, terutama orang-orang terdekat kita. Beliau bercerita, pernah suatu ketika beliau bertemu dengan seorang ibu yang mengeluhkan penyakitnya yang tak kunjung sembuh walaupun telah berobat berkali-kali. Saat itu, beliau hanya memberi satu anjuran kepada ibu tersebut, “Coba ibu meminta maaf kepada suami”. Si ibu membela diri dan berkata bahwa dirinya sudah sering meminta maaf kepada suaminya. Lalu beliau menjawab, “coba kali ini, meminta maaflah dengan hati”.

Apa tuh meminta maaf dengan hati? *batin saya dalam hati*

College Life: Last Day

Management 2009

Bakrie School of Management - Class of 2009
Friday (25/01) was the last day of the last final exam for (most of) BSM 2009 members. We've finished our 7th semester and are soon-to-be fresh graduates. After this, may be we won't meeting each other so often as we have no class schedule anymore for the next semester. Everyone's going to be busy finishing his/her final paper, some of us might be busy working or running own businesses as well, and those are the reasons why we decided to do this photo session after finishing the last subject of our last final exam. Documenting a sweet memories of college life. For the sake of all tears and laughs, joy and sweats, and all of the memories we have shared together, I love you all, my college's mates! See you on the graduation day!

*p.s.: Can you find me on those photos? :p

Korean Fried Chicken Recipe

Find this while reading outdated magazine at salon. If you like eating Bon Chon or Chicken Chon, or other Chon, you (and also I) may try this recipe at home :)



Interview 2.1

Hari-hari pertama di awal tahun ini dihabiskan dengan sangat sukacita dan heavenly bersama my favorite mammals in the world (read: my whole family) di rumah tercinta dan sesekali family time yang simpel tapi seru kayak jalan-jalan ke pantai atau makan di luar, selain itu juga bisa  meet up sama teman-teman SMP dan ngobrol-ngobrol cantik, trus juga sempet-sempetin ke dokter gigi, hasil iseng-mau-sok-check-up yang akhirnya membuat saya harus menghabiskan pagi sampai siang di dokter gigi selama 2 hari berturut-turut untuk di scaling plus membuahkan dua tambalan di geraham bawah. Selain dokter gigi, sempet juga mampir ke salon langganan jaman SMA. Bedanya, kalo dulu nyalonnya rame bareng temen-temen dan seringnya masih pake seragam karena baru pulang, kemarin kesana sendirian dan udah tambah tua, seragam SMA pun udah entah dimana rimbanya.

Tapi, ibarat tattoo, semua ke-surga-an itu hanyalah temporary. Pada akhirnya harus balik lagi ke Jakarta dan menjalani hari-hari tanpa sarapan (karena seringnya males gerak dari kasur) dan perkuliahan-perkuliahan terakhir di malam hari. Nih waktu nulis post ini, saya udah resmi (insyaAllah) ga bakal ada perkuliahan lagi sampe dapet gelar sarjana S1. Sekarang sih belum terasa apa-apa, tunggu aja beberapa minggu atau beberapa bulan dari hari post ini di-publish, pasti udah sadar dan kangen berat sama masa-masa kuliah plus dengerin dosen komat-kamit di depan kelas. Kalo kegiatan perkuliahan udah selesai, berarti tinggal nunggu UAS terakhir dan selesaiin revisi laporan magang. Setelah itu, mulai hubungin dosen pembimbing dan bikin proposal skripsi. Life is using super-jet machine, it flies really really fast.

TTD 2013

Picture taken from Google

Instead of resolution or else, I would like to call all the activities that I should accomplish in this year as "things to do". I'm writing it all here, so that I can review it later when 2013 is going to end, therefore I will be able to see how many things I actually do in 2013, and hopefully this will keep me on track. I think it would be fun, so why not trying? :)

1. Graduate from Universitas Bakrie
As I am now at my senior year at uni, so there is no other options but finishing my final paper and graduating soon. Hopefully, I will have been graduated before July 2013. Can I get an amen?

2. Add some more working experience before graduating
Working experiences are indeed important to support our career path and gain some practical knowledge, right?

3. Do vacation together with my friends
I think this is the last year before being a full-time adult. I mean, I and my friends are graduating soon and retiring as an undergraduate students. So, before we cannot see each other face as often as these days, why not going on vacation and have fun together.

4. Objectify dream project in term of business
I'm a business student and I'm graduating soon, I like doing business and I want to have my own business. 2013 may be a perfect time to start doing a real business. Hopefully I will be able to make it true on this year, together with my partner-in-crime.

5. Have a permanent job after graduating
Being unemployed may be a biggest fear for every fresh-graduate, including myself. But every fresh-graduate has his/her own definition of permanent job. For me, permanent job have a broad meaning, it could be working on some companies as an employees, and it could also mean making your own company and start being an entrepreneur.

6. Be able to drive!
I'm 19 going on 20, yet I can't even drive a car and I think I need that skill. So, I want to learn to drive and may be have a driving license by the end of this year.

****

That's all my major things to do, besides, I still have another things to do such as doing more sport, pray more, and having breakfast more often (yes, I'm that lazy to even have my breakfast). I hope the eagerness will stay with me all along this year, so I will be able to accomplish all the good things as much as I can on this year. Aamiin. Anyway, have a good day!
