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!

No Calls

It was a so-so evening when my phone rang, a call from unknown number. I was in my room, browsing random stuffs on my notebook. I picked it up. I heard a lady voice ensuring that she called a right number. Then, I had a quite quick chit-chat with her before she hung up. Actually, I could say that it  was a happy call (not that famous happy call pan, of course). She told me that there’s a manager in her company want to do a phone interview with me.

So, yes, I was very-wery-berry happy at that time. She told me the date and the exact time when the manager would call. I memorized it and waited for that day to come. Excitement.

Hanging Out with Old Friend

Meet my high school friend, Nanda, last Monday and we spent our time all day in Grand Indonesia (yes,  expensive, I know). Actually, I don't really like Grand Indonesia that much (except it's interior design) because I don't feel like I am part of their market segment. I usually go here just for watching movie at Blitz or eating with friends. Shopping? Not interested. Because I am not a branded type and it just doesn't feel right if I spent my parents' money for buying something that sooo expensive, hehe. But may be I would love to go shopping here when I become financially independent :)

I went to Yoshinoya, Marché, Gramedia, and Blitz at that day. All of them are not a new thing for me except Marché. Yes, I haven't been there before. So, let me share my first exploration here.

19th Birthday's Wishes

I'm turning 19  on 27th November. Thank you & amin ya rabbal 'alamin for all the birhday wishes! And  thank you too for the presents :) By the way, people tend to make life resolutions when they're having their birthday, no? I don't usually do that, but if I have to make a resolutions before I turn 20, it would be:

1. Being more organized and less spontanious. (Because you know, sometimes I hate myself to the fullest when I become an expert-procrastinator).
2. Graduate, get my bachelor degree, and make my parents cry (...because of happiness).
3. Financially independent. Aaamiiin....
4. Going abroad. Wherever outside Indonesia, because I don't care about the destination, I just want to go abroad.
5. Growing mature and loves Allah more and more and more.

Not Enough

Allah selalu punya cara yang indah untuk mengingatkan hambanya. Walaupun hambanya seringkali terserang virus amnesia dan lupa seketika meski telah diingatkan berkali-kali. Tapi tetap Allah ga pernah lelah dan terus memberikan tanda kasihnya dalam hal kecil yang simpel dan seringkali ga disadari.

Hari Ini

Hari ini saya membaca banyak sekali komentar dan opini yang sangat beragam seputar berita Gaza, Palestina. Sebagian besar mengecam keras perlakuan Israel terhadap Palestina, sebagian mendukung Israel, sebagian lagi mempunyai salah satu dari dua opini tersebut namun merasa tidak perlu membicarakan dan memulai perdebatan lewat media sosial karena menurut mereka itu tidak relevan dan sia-sia.

Sebagian ada yang menulis opininya di website atau akun sosialnya masing-masing (mungkin seperti yang sedang saya lakukan sekarang) dengan versi dan pemahamannya masing-masing. Tentu saja, setelah tulisan tersebut di publish, pada akhirnya memunculkan opini-opini baru dari para pembacanya, sebagian setuju dengan apa yang ditulis, sebagian sangat bertentangan dan melontarkan komentar-komentar pedas.

Tujuan saya menulis tulisan ini bukan karena saya juga ingin ikut melontarkan komentar saya tentang Palestina dan Israel. I just want to write on my own blog, for my own reminder, that people in this world really see problems from various perspectives, and I often get confused after reading so many different opinions sampai-sampai saya jadi blur di sisi mana sebenarnya saya berdiri dan pendapat apa yang saya punya untuk masalah-masalah yang saya baca tersebut.

Hiburan Hore

Udah pada tau kan ya kalo hari ini adalah Harpitnas alias hari kejepit nasional. Nah, daripada garing karena bengong-bengong aja di kamar, saya dan teman saya nan cantik jelita (sebut saja namanya Hesti, hahaha) akhirnya memutuskan untuk jalan-jalan ke toko buku dan hypermarket. Emang ga jauh sih jalan-jalannya, deket banget malah, kalo istilahnya anak muda jaman sekarang, "kepeleset aja nyampe" hahaha :)) Eits, tapi jangan salah, walaupun deket jalan-jalan ke tempat belanja gitu bisa tetep me-nye-nang-kan dan refreshing, yuhuuuuuu~

Nih, tips (ga penting) ala-ala Annisa dan Hesti kalo supaya hari-hari kalian lebih berwarna saat pergi ke hypermarket manapun, hahaha.
