hi folks !<br />
<br />
:D<br />
<br />
now i came to you with a little story<br />
<br />
<br />
so couple of weeks ago i attended an evening lecture series, held by IHS<br />
at first, the word heritage is the one that really catch my eyes (of course it was my area of interest in my previous study)<br />
<br />
the theme of the lecture is Jakarta as melting pot, a melting pot of people of many origins<br />
<br />
ah about IHS, its an abreviation of Indonesian Heritage Society<br />
its already founded in 1970-ish, and at glance the members of the club mainly foreigner,<br />
in the session, I only found 6-10 indonesian people, to my surprise out of 50-ish people<br />
previously I expected to came across more indonesian people who have concerns about heritage issues<br />
<br />
by surprise (again) there is an admission fee for the lecture that unfortunately not mentioned in the publication<br />
im so affraid to miss the lecture<br />
<br />
pardon my shallow wallet, have mercy on tanggal tua<br />
also, i mainly go cashless and prefer non-cash transactions haha<br />
<br />
so i need to find an ATM<br />
its located pretty far away but the lecture will starts soon<br />
on a busy streets, i cross without using the pedestrian bridge<br />
ya it is on Jl. H. R. Rasuna Said, one of artery street of Jakarta<br />
<br />
after successfuly cross back and forth, i am officialy registered<br />
yeah i used to live dangerously hahaha<br />
before the session we can enjoy some snacks and drink, they offer wine too ~<br />
<br />
and so the lecture starts<br />
the speaker is Tamalia Alisjahbana<br />
I guess maybe it has something to do with a writer named Sutan Alisjahbana<br />
and, it is haha<br />
she delivered a very entertaining lecture, i can say so<br />
next time i wish to meet her in personal and discuss many more things<br />
<br />
when the lecture starts I also had a little shock where people using dutch or english as lingua franca hahaha, i speak dutch rarely lately<br />
<br />
<br />
back to the lecture<br />
so basicaly Jakarta or Batavia were built upon people of many origins<br />
<br />
there are :<br />
the arab<br />
the moor<br />
the chinese<br />
the balinese<br />
the bugis<br />
the javanese<br />
the portuguese<br />
the ambonese<br />
the dutch<br />
<br />
now you know its a melting pot right?<br />
<br />
they bring their tradition, work, stuffs and many more, or in short their (rich) culture<br />
these people leaves their marks<br />
also buildings especially temples, mosques or churches<br />
<br />
i noted several things<br />
<br />
islam was not solely brought by the arab, but also the moors (moors are the people from the far south of india's coast) not just hindu traders, there are muslim traders too<br />
<br />
also, nasi briyani that we know is appeared in this community in Batavia, brought back to the arab land as a result of cultural interaction between arab traders and the moors (moors are known for their skill of mixing herbs)<br />
<br />
there were exist 2 type of portuguese man, the light and dark colored skin<br />
the first one of course the full blood european and the second one is known also by name mardijkers<br />
mardijkers is people that get equal status as citizen, after freed from slavery<br />
they can act and speak like regular portuguese<br />
this kind of event happens too in south africa, so there were appear a term of black dutch<br />
<br />
the chinese, yup they are almost all around the world because of trade<br />
the interesting thing is there were an advertisement of emigration to nusantara, organized by dutch government which needs more workers. on the other hand, slave trade also occured<br />
after an massacre in Batavia, the fled chinese brought also their carpenter craft to the deeper part of Java, the spread along the north coast and central Java<br />
<br />
the bugis and ambonese are known for their strenght and also sailing skill, they came to Batavia as mercenaries and take role on some rebellion battles while Balinese were not so lucky, they could be war prisoners or even slaves<br />
<br />
<br />
I suppose that also possibilities of minor groups of asean countries like vietnamese, philipinese and maybe thai that already had a trade relation with Batavia or Sunda Kelapa port. I guess that some trade activities are moved to melaka because of the dutch occupation of Batavia<br />
<br />
<br />
I think thats all for now<br />
see you soon IHS<br />

Hola folks !<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
<br />
this post is about the recenr hype and i guess im a little late to post this haha<br />
<br />
<br />
TA - DA !<br />
<br />
<br />
there we go with the pokemon go phenomenon ~<br />
im personaly interacted with the pokemon stuff back in my elementary school day<br />
<br />
of course i play the game at gameboy color<br />yup in a train travel between jakarta - surabaya i managed to almost complete the game ~<br />
<br />
my starter is bulbasaur, yep back then taking squirtle or charmender is a mainstream stuff<br />
by installing the game im recalling my memories of pokemon hahaha<br /><br />according to some news in 2 days, the app will be officially released for asia server but who really knows<br />
<br />
i remove any other game apps on my phone, only steam and clash royale (idled)<br />
<br />
once i installed the pokemon go, my sis is also interested to try it<br />
it takes me no time to try, go around my neighbourhood<br />
hmm from kids to adult play it, my co-worker here play it too<br />
<br />
now im level 7, but it was shocking there are some people already on level 20-ish or so<br />
<br />
to the gym?<br />
uh no, i prefer to catch all the pokemon and evolve them<br />
<br />
team?<br />
im joining team mystic<br />
its the blue one with the emblem of articuno<br />
<br />
other than pokemon you can get egg<br />
to hatch the eggs you need to walk for certain kilometers<br />
what i found til today is 2-5KM so far<br />
<br />
i had a plan to fix my bike, and do the hunt while roaming all around with my bike in the weekend<br />
a fun way to get into shape ~<br />
<br />
my advice is the same<br />
though it so much FUN<br />
pay equal attention to your suroundings at all time<br />
try to do group hunting, its more fun and safe<br />
dont drive and poke go (i did it sorry ._.')<br />
<br />
<br />
stay safe, keep calm and gotta catch them all<br />
<br />
<br />

[topic : work]<br />
<br />
this post is a follow up of a comment from the previous post<br />
thanks for throwing me a topic<br />
also helping to gthis blog generate posts XD<br />
<br />
<br />
hi happy fellas ~<br />
:3<br />
<br />
<br />
this time i will share the story and stuffs around my working days<br />
to describe it, well its kinda hard but who cares hahaha<br />
<br />
well since my graduation im involved in marketing stuffs<br />
and now im having responsibility on handling corporate events<br />
<br />
just a little throwback, few weeks ago im handling an event in kuningan<br />
it was a running event then continued with a concert, whole day to midnight<br />
the preperation phase in the office is quite okay until heavy rain strikes in<br />
still, the rain is pouring from above when i should unload all the stuff<br />
<br />
congratulation ! basah kuyup<br />
<br />
for an event, the hard works lies in the loading in and out process<br />
there you can meet the unsung heroes<br />
you have to carry and prepare all the stuff in not so favourable condition<br />
sometimes you need to make delicate improvisation and tweak under pressure<br />
it was 10PM-3AM work<br />
im home at 4AM<br />
<br />
early in the morning i get up<br />
with 3 hours of sleep, i should take care of something in depok all the way after the lunch time i need to go to kuningan, to the site<br />
from 3pm-12pm<br />
<br />
no its not done yet hahaha<br />
in between i managed to buy the nasi padang for the team member<br />
i tried to sleep for an hour, to prevent me getting too tired haha<br />
<br />
now its 2.30 in the morning and i just finished all the things<br />
its a long work hours<br />
it took me 3 days<br />
friday-saturday-early norning sunday<br />
my body felt heavy and my head a little light<br />
as soon as i reached home i need to sleep almost all day hahaha<br />
<br />
<br />
i guess its enough<br />
that is my work for now<br />
<br />
<br />
ps: dont mind to comment and give me a topic to be written from my view<br />

Hi folks<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
<br />
judul post ini sama saja dengan kutipan yang sudah beredar luas, paling tidak di hidup kita yang tidak jauh-jauh dari teknologi bernama internet<br />
<br />
kutipan di atas diambil dari ucapan seorang terkenal, pendiri dan pencipta dari perusahaan berlambang apel <i>krowak </i>haha,<br />
<br />
iya, gw bukan penggemar apel<br />
tapi setelah saya utak-atik (secara tak sengaja baru-baru ini) apel memang menawarkan kenyamanan pengguna yang berbeda daripada jendela<br />
baiklah gw mengakui kehebatan apel, sebelum kamu hilang, Steve Jobs.<br />
<br />
sudahlah maksud gw bukan untuk membandingkan jendela dengan apel<br />
<br />
kembali ke persoalan kutipan<br />
stay hungry, stay foolish<br />
<br />
iya saya lapar, kadang juga bodoh<br />
semudah itu gw terinspirasi oleh ucapannya<br />
sederhana tapi mengusik<br />
dalam kiasan seolah mengatakan "heh, jangan sombong!"<br />
<br />
teruslah lapar<br />
teruslah bodoh<br />
ayo berpikir<br />
bertanya<br />
belajarlah<br />
<br />
dengan begitu belajar terasa menyenangkan karena gw tidak ingin merasa sok tahu<br />
di dalam pikiran ada suara "i can learn something new everyday"<br />
<br />
sejauh gw mengenal steve jobs hanya dari apa yang dibuatnya di apel<br />
gw merasakan sendiri hasil pemikirannya dari produk buatan apel<br />
gw baru mulai penasaran lantaran dia dikabarkan meninggal dunia<br />
gw rasa gw harus baca biografinya <br />
(well i need to find the book soon)</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi folks !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">:3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">well im motivated to make a blog post</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i just happened saw so many blogpost feeds and it means i dont blog so much lately haha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">hey, im doing it on my working hour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">no, im not sorry ~</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">its part of the job i guess </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">im kind of utilizing blog as a space to practice my writing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">pardon my bad writing, hope i can get better as time goes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so how is life?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">just a moment earlier i saw a vlog post from my friend and by then rise an urge to keep this blog alive, or at the very least lively</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">maybe a vlog project one day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">oh i recall there was a podcast too</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">hmm sounds cool</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">its the same like the sub-title state, this blog is pieces of my life (?) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">my life is recorded here, through pictures or just a simple line i write</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">its funny to re-read a post from my early years</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">there is no rigid form of the blog or the theme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">every post, i consider it as an unique brick that build the house</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">huff, so much things missed to be write down since i got time consuming stuff </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">work, work, work?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">like i said earlier, rest well is half of the work</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i lost my time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i lost my 15-ish hour of working out a week :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i missed more than 100 chapters of manga series</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i lost my siesta, you know you can google it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i miss to spend the time in the kitchen too</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">what else?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">well i got a job, try to like the job</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">fine, im not the kid who whines over job related stress-stuffs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">chillax ! XD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i challenge myself just how far i will go with the job ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">wish me luck :3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">on the other hand i try to do something e-sport related</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i started to run a startup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">im doing this like a marathon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">it (should be) more like partying for living</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">is it rhymes or ring a bell?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i decided to not stop with the game stuff, in a way or other way around</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for something that coming, im aiming to pursue higher education</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i wish to learn new things, just because its fun to do so</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">wish me luck :3 (again)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">enough for now</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i expect more things to come XD</span><br />

hola<br />
<br />
:D<br />
<br />
its just a continuation of the previous story<br />
<br />
officialy this kind of meeting had no names at all haha<br />
i dont know how but this kind of name popped out in my mind<br />
its more like an expression when i meet and talked for a long time with particular person<br />
<br />
old, yes maybe i do hahaha but luckily there is somebody older<br />
after the little reunion, since its rainin so hard outside (remember its lunar new year) we dicided to grab some food to eat<br />
we stopped by a restaurant burgers. oh there is a free refills<br />
last time there were six people, talking like bunch of sir or just like boys<br />
the topic stretched from some serious conspiracy until easy peasy things haha<br />
there was a topic about maritime industry, sports, sustainable energy, monster hunter on nintendo ds, trias politica even doing a quiz from the restaurant and a surf on instagrams<br />
<br />
more or less (a serious) conversation like that mostly happens when you are so old, so old that a little kid point at you and say "old geezer", in fact we are not ol anyway hahaha<br />
maybe its just the topic that we talked (SEEMS) like topics of (any older) man<br />
there goes 6 hours<br />
then somebody need to go home and everybody is dismissed like a class ended<br />
<br />
still as any other leaves one by one then i still trapped because of the heavy rain<br />
he needs tebengan to get to the transjakarta shelter<br />
its me then with the true old geezer hahaha<br />
its my idea to call him old, yes he is old, older than me<br />
he studied law and put much attention in it, its fun to have him as your lawyer<br />
i can count him when it comes to some lawsuit and things and his job done well so far<br />
he is now pursuing his master degree, he will just pull through just like any other my friends<br />
he discussed his thesis proposal with me<br />
(something unusual to do while trying to kill the time)<br />
while the rain still refuse to quiet down we decided to go because we are so done with the thesis things<br />
it took apparently a 2 hours of discussion with much of distraction and intermezo about marvel and DC things<br />
at least we do something hahaha<br />
<br />
the moment i pay to go out of the parking area shock me<br />
i should pay 30k<br />
its a record so far, as i ususally go around with public transportations and today its just a motorcycle<br />
what a surprise<br />
much wow<br />
<br />
despite of that, well the time spent is worth it<br />
see ya soon<br />
<br />

hi folks<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
happy lunar new year<br />
wishing you a good year ahead<br />
<br />
sebenernya ini cuma catatan kecil dari reuni yang tidak direncanakan<br />
semuanya bermula dari ritual tahunan untuk dateng ke acara live streamaing superbowl<br />
superbowl tahun ini adalah perhelatan yang kelima puluh dan bertepatan dengan tahun baru imlek di sini (Indonesia, GMT +7)<br />
sudah beberapa tahun belakangan ini memang rutin diadakan acara live streaming di pusat kebudayaan amerika serikat yang ada di jakarta<br />
<br />
sejauh yang saya tahu sampai saat ini peminat american football masih terbilang rendah, biasanya mereka adalah orang-orang yang pernah tinggal atau menjalankan studi di amerika serikat atau sebagian kecil pekerja ekspatriat yang beraktivitas di sekitar jakarta dan sisanya beberapa puluh orang yang bermain american football di jakarta<br />
<br />
bertepatan dengan hari libur, ternyata jumlah penonton yang datang meningkat<br />
banyak yang datang membawa serta keluarga dan anak-anaknya<br />
banyak wajah asing yang belum pernah saya temui di lapangan<br />
ini kali pertama saya menemukan bayi berumur 10 bulan di acara live streaming superbowl<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">look at the crowd</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
acaranya dimulai jam 6 pagi<br />
yup<br />
bukan kesalahan baca atau penulisan kok hahaha<br />
ini adalah resiko dari perbedaan zona waktu indonesia dan amerika serikat<br />
di acara ini disediakan cemilan dan minuman <u>free flow</u><br />
karena diadakan pagi-pagi secara tidak langsung kita juga bisa sarapan sembari menunggu live streaming dimulai<br />
<br />
pertandingan dimulai dan perlahan auditorum menjadi penuh sesak<br />
seiring dengan berjalannya pertandingan dan semakin ramainya penonton, sebagian kecil dari mereka harus menonton di luar auditorium<br />
tumben sekali ramai<br />
memasuki waktu istirahat atau half time, cold play, bruno mars dan beyonce tampil dan menyanyikan lagu masing-masing dan berkolaborasi<br />
biasanya hanya ada 1 artis yang menjadi performer, tapi tidak kali ini<br />
selama lima puluh tahun terakhir ditunjukkan di layar, performer yang pernah didaulat mengisi halftime show<br />
<br />
beberapa pemusik yang pernah manggung di superbowl :<br />
rolling stones<br />
michael jackson<br />
paul mccartney<br />
black eyed peas<br />
<br />
pertandingan selesai dengan broncos keluar sebagai juara atas panthers<br />
superbowl 50 adalah pertandingan yang ketat dengan dominasi pemain defense<br />
pertandingan berjalan alot karena pola permainan offense yang sulit dieksekusi dengan baik oleh kedua tim<br />
tetap saja pertandingan terasa menegangkan dari awal hingga akhir<br />
<br />
ternyata di sini berkumpul founder and pioneer dari komunitas football sewaktu masih aktif berkuliah di kampus<br />
setelah acara usai kami memutuskan berfoto bersama<br />
sepertinya acara ini cocok dijadikan ajang reuni paling tidak setahun sekali<br />
banyak di antaranya selain studi dan bekerja sulit juga ditemui hahaha<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">look at that twenty something thesis deadliner faces</td></tr>

i guess its a wrap for the superbowl 50<br />
lets see what superbowl 100 looks like later !<br />

hi folks ~<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
hope you all doing fine this year<br />
its already 24th of january<br />
<br />
<br />
i will start this post with a little laugh hahaha<br />
though if i cant laugh maybe just a little smile on my face<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
its all started few days ago<br />
i finished my things earlier than usual<br />
i head home earlier, its unusual hahaha<br />
approaching home i decided to make a stop by<br />
maybe all of you recognize the warkop or coffe tavern or coffee shop<br />
not only to sell coffees, in this case instant coffees in sachet but also some of them have the ground coffe (you can call it like a houseblend), the speciality of warkop is indomie (yeah ask google if you dont know it) some little question that bother is "why warkop could make indomie so delicious?" you wonder too, sometimes indomie tastes even better when somebody make it for you haha<br />
<br />
i make the stop and get in to the warkop<br />
before i even made an order then somebody greeted me<br />
out of sudden he said "hey, where are you from?" "where are you working now?"<br />
i answered with hesitation "who is this old man?" i think, make guess inside my head<br />
since it was a complete stranger i do as a saying "dont talk to stranger"<br />
of course i fake information, i dont really sayin the truth to him<br />
he ask "who's your dad's name?" "what did he do for living now?"<br />
its getting serious, he could be know my parents or family or extended family of mine but still i cant recognize him<br />
<br />
i run through my head as if searching all possibilities or files or picture about this old man<br />
once again i still giving lies, maybe he is just a random stranger, looks unharm actually (he looks so old), or just mentally ill old man, im not so affraid of this, so i keep talking<br />
i go with the idea of, its jsut okay, he didnt know me or anything related to my family since he just believe anything i said<br />
he said "you speak dutch so well dont you?" "you are not in the ministry of foreign affairs?"<br />
snap !<br />
i wonder how could he knows i speak fluent dutch, and had an idea of ministry of foreign affairs?<br />
then he sings a song in dutch, just a melody and asked me what does that mean<br />
<br />
then he said that, once he live in paris, france<br />
maybe its true<br />
then he shot me with another thing<br />
he knows i was a student at University of Indonesia<br />
snap !<br />
my head runs wild at the same time i try to keep calm<br />
how does he knows?<br />
again he said "you know professor Anto?"<br />
"yes" i said<br />
"he was a top notch indonesian, back then in paris" he replied<br />
who is this old man, keep running in my head<br />
could be he was a lecturer too?<br />
<br />
its my turn, i asked "you came from University of Indonesia too?"<br />
he said no<br />
"how can you know professor Anto?"<br />
then he told me that he was an embassy employee, once, in paris<br />
wow my brain snap<br />
"you know Dian Sastro?" "her father is my coleague in england" "she belongs to the same faculty as you right?"<br />
my brain got another snap<br />
this old man maybe not an ordinary man or even (sorry sir), mentally ill<br />
<br />
he finished his coffee, pays and leaves<br />
i dont even ask his name<br />
to be exact forgo to do that<br />
<br />
im trying to answer question in my head<br />
before that, its the warkop keeper who asked me first "you know him?"<br />
of course im not<br />
i guess that old man was a regular customer so i asked "is he always like that, even to strangers?"<br />
the warkop keeper "he almost always do that"<br />
that old man always greeted anyone, especially if you are came in with somebody-who-had-job appearance<br />
"he seems like know you much" he said<br />
i said "no, but im a bit curious and in doubt, what's his name?"<br />
"i dont know, just called him pakde all this time" the warkop keeper replied<br />
<br />
according to the info i got from the warkop keeper that he live in the same area with me<br />
turns out, in one housing complex, different block<br />
a click<br />
i guess i have met him once, back in 2014<br />
it was at the presidential election and i can recall to talk with an old man<br />
he said things about paris and stuffs about ministry of foreign affairs<br />
hoho<br />
<br />
how can he still remember about me, i dont know<br />
its enough for the snap convo and roller coaster in my head<br />
i wish you a good health sir<br />
<br />
<br />

hola folks !<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
time for a long post, at least i hope so<br />
it came to my mind lately so i decided to pour it down here haha !<br />
you dont need to read it if you dont want to ~<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
the pin point is a year ago<br />
though its not exactly the same date but i feel to post it real soon, its just passed few days ago hehe<br />
<br />
yeah i resigned from my job<br />
strange ?<br />
yes, strange it is<br />
im still in my academic year but secured a job, luckily<br />
im not even throw myself already into the somewhat competitive job market where all the freshgrads from all over this country and universities gather to look for jobs and working for a company<br />
just couple of month from my graduation from the university, i decided to resign from my job.<br />
the decision is come out of sudden, i did when a chance was came<br />
<br />
the place where i belong was a good company, im so sure to say that now<br />
ive seen some things too at other places<br />
ive feel things too at different places hoho<br />
my position was not so bad after all<br />
i believe it is<br />
<br />
compared to my study, what i did almost have nothing to do with my job<br />
im studying dutch studies for 4 years<br />
then i founded something<br />
yup, i made a technological startup<br />
something that have no relation with dutch language or so at glance hahaha<br />
i dont have any programing minor<br />
<br />
more or less i may say im co-founding<br />
it was started as a project<br />
one of my friend texted me and asking for a feedbacks on the prototype<br />
as a kind request then i review and test it, feedbacks sent<br />
the respond was surprising, he asked me to come to his office<br />
since i got plenty of free time then i decided to come<br />
the office located far more at the east of the city<br />
from the train station it takes 15-20 mins to get there<br />
there were no angkot route huhu<br />
<br />
i was welcomed at the office and then brought to the meeting room<br />
the office was not so big, but it is a two storey office<br />
then started the chit-chat asking all thing here and there<br />
and then came the other two persons<br />
woah we shared the same almamater, of course with faculty differences<br />
they say that they need a team member, then out of blue asking of my cv<br />
so i asked for internet access then show them anyway<br />
im still convicing that i dont have so technical background<br />
do i really fit for a team member?<br />
they noticed that i did some things that touched entrepreneurial things<br />
they just asked me right away and told me that i can join them if i want to<br />
and i say yes<br />
now im a marketeer ~ it rhymes like musketeer right?<br />
<br />
my days with job is starting<br />
i woke up in the morning then go to the office<br />
still its not like the office that makes you wake up in the early morning and hit the road<br />
pretty flexible on the jam masuk, 8-10 AM still fine, sounds good right?<br />
its located far, so far from where i live<br />
by train, regularly take me at least one and half hour, including the transits<br />
things may gone bad if troubles happened with the train schedule and also the train<br />
<br />
i am the lucky number 14, hmm though i prefer number 13<br />
its a startup, quite plenty of team members to starts<br />
it takes no time for me to get into the system<br />
there is a good company culture, i found its good anyway<br />
i started and guided to do market research<br />
a research to find the market for the prototype<br />
i do it anyway, as im feeling like running my own business<br />
im feeling good and things are fine<br />
<br />
once i grind my gears haha<br />
i happenend to work with somebody that really goes for the details<br />
it shocked me and im trying to get a grip<br />
for your info, im working previously not so organized<br />
i depend on my scattered notes in my notebook and more on my memory<br />
my memory sometimes out of work and i can say "lupa" because i really missed it<br />
then come a huge load of works and i cant handle things like usual<br />
honestly im feeling the tense if i cant do my work well<br />
i cant work in a rigid and repetitive way<br />
later i learned that i can not do things that so well, its inevitable anyway, i still need to be able to do it<br />
<br />
to catch up i immerse myself with books<br />
i learn things from books and try them right away in my hi paced office life hahaha so fun<br />
after the launching, the product get a good response but its not enough<br />
we compete with other technological company with lot of fundings though<br />
<br />
the company finaly do a pivot and making it into the core business<br />
i think i succeed in developing a product<br />
we need to overcome many hard situations with plans and strategies we got under our sleeves<br />
turns out that up til now it is still growing and funding itself independently, in short, bootstrapping<br />
<br />
money is another thing to me<br />
i dont really working for the money here<br />
im growing, i work like an engine, hot engine that run so fast<br />
good people doing good business<br />
the benefits were not in a form of money, i learned so many new things i feel happy so far<br />
<br />
one day an info came to me, an opening of new reataurant<br />
i applied for it, with nothing in mind<br />
it sounds funny<br />
i have a good job anyway<br />
<br />
i have a dream myself<br />
yeah, being a white collar that works nine to five, that would simply killing me<br />
thus, i love run a business, innovations and tech stuffs<br />
before that i put food<br />
cooking to be precise<br />
i cant be cooking for living if i stayed here<br />
i want to get a step closer to my dream<br />
so i give it a shot<br />
disregarding my study background, and no diploma nor experience i go anyway<br />
<br />
its a resignation<br />
everyone asking me why<br />
its hard for me<br />
why im leaving so sudden<br />
they cheer me as i leave the office<br />
everything is strange for me<br />
i feel sad too, to leave such a good place<br />
the line "jangan sampai menyesal" hit me hard but i can ignore it for the things that coming<br />
im leaving my comfort zone<br />
leaving my growing box<br />
start things with nothing<br />
i started something that i called myself berkelana, mengembara or such<br />
-----<br />
<br />
i got in somehow<br />
i met a friend of mine in the kitchen<br />
i aim for a position in the kitchen but im taken to another place<br />
i started as a waiter<br />
its uncommon and everyone was doubt me<br />
i worked a little hard, everything is new, i have to adapt soon<br />
clean things, mop, deliver things,memorize menu, also being yelled<br />
im a university graduates and working like this, many people might say that im crazy<br />
the pay?<br />
its low, its not something to dramatize my story<br />
i dont mind anyway, just taking it like a step into the resataurant industry<br />
outside of the working hour i practice myself to deliver better service<br />
i started to know what to do and the how<br />
soon im having regulars and get some more, somebody who preferred to be served by me<br />
just soon it works i smell fishy things<br />
yup, fishy competion. something that i dont like to have while working, unhealthy one<br />
<br />
later i try to find my way into the kitchen<br />
i tried to ask the chef to let me in<br />
the operational hour get so busy and i proposed to be a help in the kitchen<br />
also im thinking its a way to get off from the fishy thing<br />
voila<br />
im a dj now<br />
doing the show, mixtapes of shaking plates, woks, pots, pans<br />
all dirty works you can imagine, im doing it<br />
on some case i get the feel of not welcomed, maybe just my feeling<br />
i can interact well with the higher ups in the kitchen, but not with the rest of the staff unfortunately<br />
well i dont know how, i just ignore it and try to do things at my best<br />
i can get my hands too for the knives and do the preperations<br />
not yet for the stove during the operational hours, not yet<br />
<br />
so i resign<br />
i give up, the management do cheats<br />
it is too much for me to see people do business an cheats at the same time<br />
there were troubles on my payment and also my contracts<br />
things dont run as it should be, its better to stop<br />
its a regret that i leave a good job for a mess like this one<br />
<br />
my chef called me and we talked for an hour<br />
he wants me to explain why am i leaving and quit<br />
im just saying that i dont quit cooking<br />
i said "you can call me anytime, but not here"<br />
he said "drop in anytime for a beer"<br />
<br />
my friend, who later few months get fired<br />
came to me and argued with me for hour<br />
we talked in english so that others cant understands<br />
"no, i dont quit cooking, you can count on me" i said<br />
thanks to him i can get there too<br />
------------<br />
<br />
and the last three months i got work again<br />
im seeing this like a freelance job<br />
once again handling the marketing stuffs<br />
haha, im being an office kid<br />
truly an office kid that gets in at 8 and get off at 6<br />
suffer the magical traffic jam also *sigh<br />
<br />
i continue to read books and articles<br />
its a habit that i try to have, it is from the previous job that demands me to learn all things about marketing and business<br />
i realize myself that im being responsible of my own growth<br />
as i want to excel then i need to learn all things isnt it?<br />
job is just a tool in life<br />
<br />
again "jangan sampai menyesal" line hit me hard<br />
im leaving but i cant stick a job and even not happy doing it<br />
i felt ashamed and put the shame on you too<br />
but this time, today, i can say "no, im not"<br />
i can be smiling when i say this<br />
<br />
i may be seperated from the startup but i decided to not sit in disappointment<br />
im happy too to see you are growing much more than before<br />
i have to grow even more, take steps to chase down my dreams<br />
you are my team, my family<br />
someday i will back and build another startup under the same roof<br />
<br />
some days from now, maybe i will try to find my way back into the kitchen<br />
or maybe i founded a startup of my own<br />
lot of things i should do for the dreams i want to seize<br />
so wish me luck<br />
<br />

hola !<br />
<br />
hope you are all in the good mood of holiday<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
i will tell you about my recent last 6 months activity<br />
this thing popped on my mind when i got nothing to do, so i decided to make a english class<br />
<br />
im not experienced at all at teaching or being a tutor<br />
rather than a tutor or even a teacher, i still prefer discussion, debate is not counted, sorry.<br />
<br />
thus, im not interested at all<br />
back in my study days, some friends suggest me to try private tutor jobs for highschoolers<br />
im sure, i can lose my temper haha<br />
some times i can makes my teachers back then kinda mad<br />
so, i still refuse the jobs<br />
<br />
<a href="http://garurus.blogspot.com/2015/12/i-keep-spirits-you-give-me-souls.html">read more</a><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
and the story begins<br />
with no so alright preperation i go on haha<br />
made some learning sylabus, that turns out, i need to revise it in short time<br />
i started to tell few people around, from mouth to mouth<br />
there were no so many students, lucky there are still kids that coming<br />
the students come and go as week goes, hmm tumbang<br />
no more than 5 kids (they are sitting in junior high)<br />
<br />
i set the class as a conversation class<br />
on the first day i introduced myself and what kind of events that may happen during the class hahaha<br />
the class itself only last for an hour, im affraid to blow the kids' head<br />
im having assumption that kids this day wont be see english as a burden in their study<br />
an almost no barrier between bahasa and english in everyday life will help the kid, i guess<br />
that is my reason to held the conversation class<br />
a class that i allow you to tweet, scream, sing, dance, yell, whisper, chat, joking, speech or anything, as long as its in english<br />
previously in my school days, my english grades were better than my bahasa ._.<br />
<br />
then i noticed something is not right<br />
i found they're not so fluent yet with english, yet<br />
it feels strange that you have all eyes looking at you, trying to understand what you said<br />
when you already said pretty much things then, they were just geleng-geleng :\<br />
its hard to interact with them, and i dont like it<br />
<br />
my objective is to help them only to polish their english<br />
then it may be changed into teaching them english haha<br />
i dont expect things like this to happen, but its okay<br />
i catch the emotion that i need to go lower, even lower<br />
after 4-5 times i return them to early basics, i start with a-b-c and spellings<br />
you cant make sentence when you dont know good amount of words<br />
<br />
glad that they get better<br />
its also once i encounter something that lurks too long in our general education system<br />
<br />
the first one, to ask question when you dont understands<br />
why should other kids mock cynically when someone ask question ?<br />
later on in your studies you can differ which question is serious or just simply try to piss off<br />
<br />
the second, some kind of affraid-ness to make mistakes that trapped the mind<br />
i believe there are steps of learning, you can just go at your own pace<br />
you can learn from mistakes and in case of language learning it is just totaly fine if you do mistakes<br />
<br />
I completely mad at that kind of things, at heart, that i realized it is easy to turn you kids into smart bunch, but takes much more to build your mind and character<br />
I convince them countless of times that there no stupid question in my class, no one may call each other stupid or so something else related to that<br />
it is a matter of :<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
mau - tidak mau</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
males - rajin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
though im not taking lecturer or teacher as a job, but i concerned about this thing.<br />
you too ?<br />
you cant grow when you are constantly "trimmed" even in your schoolground<br />
<br />
the class just ended this early december and hope it will be continued next year<br />
i keep in mind some important things from them, that is their dreams. I encoureage them to have and chase down their dream. Im going to ask and check them maybe next 10 or 15 years to come hahaha<br />
<br />
im waiting for, a model, a math teacher, a musician, a doctor, an athlete.<br />
see you soon kids<br />
<br />
sincerely your teacher ~<br />

Hi folks !<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
this time i will write something about sleeping<br />
first thing first<br />
<br />
i am a sleepyhead<br />
<br />
haha, i dont really know whether it was caused of bad routines of begadang all along the academic years in universities<br />
through the year i succeeded fall asleep in various situation<br />
so far because of drowziness i did have motorcycles accidents experience ._.<br />
<br />
<br />
quite many people saying that sleeping is an unproductive activity<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m-nCErExvyM/VnJgCkNofaI/AAAAAAAABHI/7BaNfWDgl2w/s1600/slip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m-nCErExvyM/VnJgCkNofaI/AAAAAAAABHI/7BaNfWDgl2w/s1600/slip.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
when im working on a projects or some times im trying to finish asignments i usually make fun and kidding by saying "sleeping is for the weak"<br />
we already heard that lack of sleep, even can cause death<br />
remember the tweet :<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"30 hours of working and still going strong"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
it was her last tweet, before she did passed away<br />
<br />
chillax, i dont want to do that anyway<br />
but for there was time when i do non stop activity<br />
this syntomps can be found on procrastinator<br />
:| in some parts its no fun at all for me<br />
<br />
for me a good rest is almost a half part of a good work<br />
i highly encourage you guys to have a proper rest and sleep time<br />
i recommend on 7-9 hours of sleeping, at night<br />
note this WITHOUT INTERRUPTION<br />
there is no such, nyicil tidur<br />
when you do begadang then your body will either skip some process or do it at the same time<br />
<br />
you know, human body runs on an automatic program<br />
work during the day and rest at night<br />
bed time is the time for regeneration and detoxification<br />
<br />
in case you have a bad sleep deprivation<br />
a microsleep can occur<br />
its automatic, its a sign that your brain force your body to rest<br />
how hard you try to open your eyes, your body function is just like re-boot-ing in a small period of time<br />
it attacks you out of sudden<br />
its not pleasant<br />
<br />
when you get enough time of sleep, i guarantee you will feel healthier<br />
sufficient time of rest is also can maintain your bodyweight haha !<br />
<br />
if you work in shifts, take time to do nap 5-15mins, 2-4 AM is the peak of drowziness make sure you dont do things alone or had someone to talk to<br />
<br />
good luck ~<br />
<br />
take your time to rest just like suggested below<br />
<br />

hari lahir blog ini ternyata jatuh pada 7 Maret 2010<br />
<br />
berarti sekarang sudah 5 tahun lebih tersiar di dunia maya hahaha<br />

hola folks !<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
kali ini gw akan berbagi sedikit soal cara mengatur uang<br />
memang sih hal ini gw praktekan setelah belajar otodidak juga hahaha tapi semoga bisa berguna<br />
<br />
caranya gampang kok tinggal buat persentase aja dari 100% penerimaan atau pemasukan yang dimiliki<br />
kalo istilah kerennya sih budgeting<br />
<br />
pertanyaan yang perlu dijawab pertama-tama adalah :<br />
<br />
<br />
Lebih susah mana?<br />
menghabiskan uang atau menyisihkan uang?<br />
<br />
jawab sendiri dan ga perlu sampe berdebat yah<br />
tapi gw yakin 51% jawabnya ya pasti ngabisin uang lebih mudah<br />
<br />
berikut adalah sample budgeting gw :<br />
<br />
10% - spiritual purpose<br />
10% - tabungan 'lupa'<br />
30% - bayar hutang<br />
50% - pengeluaran<br />
----+<br />
100%<br />
<br />
<br />
cara budgeting di atas cuma contoh aja dan fleksibel disesuaikan dengan kebutuhanmu yang pasti bervariasi<br />
<br />
-spiritual purpose : kalo yang ini bebas sih mau dikeluarkan atau tidak<br />
<br />
-tabungan lupa : ini bisa jadi dana darurat buat kamu yang perlu uang darurat bisa ditabung di rekening terpisah, celengan ayam jago, ventilasi kamar, kaleng biskuit atau kalo mau nostalgia mau disimpen di dalem bambu terus dikubur juga boleh<br />
<br />
-bayar hutang : seandainya ada hutang kan bisa dibayarkan walau masi nyicil hahaha, dijadiin budget kredit hape baru juga boleh. kalo ga ada utang, berarti bisa nabung lebih banyak kan? nabungnya dipisahin juga dari rekening pengeluaran<br />
<br />
-pengeluaran : nah inilah bagian paling enak, ga perlu pusing-pusing, saldo ini bebas digunakan sampe abis sampe akhir bulan. dari jumlah ini bisa dibagi lagi bahkan, jadi budget makan, kos, pulsa, transportasi, modem dan lain lain masih ada sisa? bisa ditabung ~<br />
<br />
nah, cara kerjanya sederhana juga, cukup lakukan pembagian di atas secara berurutan aja<br />
<br />
loh kok gitu?<br />
inget, kan lebih gampang ngabisin duit kan? jadi biar lebih bebas, segera aja keluarkan jumlah uang yang harus disisihkan secara disiplin<br />
<br />
dari sini kita bisa ngeliat deh paling tidak, ke mana aja larinya uang-uang kita selama ini, karena biasanya kadang di akhir bulan tau-tau dompet mendadak udah sepi aja heheu<br />
semoga bermanfaat ^^<br />

hi folks !<br />
<br />
:3<br />
<br />
maaf lama ga ngepost haha<br />
<br />
sekitar dua bulanan lalu, kalo tidak salah ada hari peringatan tongkat putih secara global loh<br />
<br />
tongkat putih apaan sih?<br />
<br />
tongkat putih itu merujuk pada alat bantu berupa tongkat yang biasanya dipakai oleh orang berkebutuhan khusus, yaitu para penyandang tuna netra<br />
asal-usul kata ini sepertinya cuma referensi acak yang merujuk pada tuna netra yang menggunakan bantuan tongkat<br />
<br />
baiklah selesai dengan tongkatnya<br />
<br />
entah apakah memang terjadi secara terorganisir atau tidak belakangan gw sering menemui seorang tuna netra yang menjajakan kerupuk<br />
secara sekilas bisa saja ada rasa iba yang muncul, tapi di sisi lain gw mikir-mikir, apakah mungkin ada eksploitasi kekurangan fisik penyandang tuna netra yang terorganisir. sejauh yang pernah gw liat biasanya di daerah pemukiman padat ada saja orang dengan tuna netra yang berjualan kerupuk<br />
berlanjut ke kerupuknya. kerupuk adalah cemilan yang termasuk dalam daftar kesukaan gw.<br />
<br />
suatu ketika gw pernah membeli kerupuknya kebetulan yang jual bapak-bapak, memang terasa janggal bertransaksi dengan seorang tuna netra, tapi gw cuek aja.<br />
waktu itu ada 4 jenis kerupuk, bedanya hanya ada pada ukuran dan tekstur saja. kerennya bapak ini bisa menyebutkan harga sambil sekilas saja meraba pada bungkusan kerupuk yang dipanggul.<br />
gw pikir, ada juga sebenarnya resiko yang besar, ditipu oleh pembeli dengan tidak memberikan uang yang seharusnya. rasanya kejam sekali jika mau mencuri dari seorang yang buta, menurut gw.<br />
di lain waktu gw juga membantu mengarahkan bapak ini ke tepi jalan karena ada beberapa mobil yang melintas.<br />
<br />
hal lain yang sebenarnya menjadi sindiran keras adalah kemauan bapak ini. dalam keadaannya yang tidak bisa melihat masih saja berusaha keras, sesederhana berjualan kerupuk di tepi jalan atau berkeliling jika mengenal daerahnya dengan baik. biasanya bapak penjual kerupuk ini pergi berjualan sendirian siang hari sampai malam. greget kan tuh?<br />
<br />
haha gw malah jadi langganan. tapi bukan karena kasihan lah gw menghargai usahanya sambil me-refresh otak supaya jangan males-males. yang tidak bisa melihat aja masih mau dan bisa bekerja dengan keras. kalo ada waktu nanti kkita kenalan deh pak<br />
<br />

sekali masa belum lama saat berada di luar rumah ternyata lupa membawa pundi<br />
situasi jadi sedikit kalut karena tidak mungkin membayar sepiring makanan di kedai<br />
berbekal kartu plastik, untungnya tertinggal di bagasi si roda dua<br />
separuh sebelum 1 jam berjalan kaki berpayung terik matahari siang hari akhirnya bertemu anjungan tunai swalayan<br />
kembali lagi diguyur kalor dari atas kemudian sejenak beristirahat untuk mengusir panas dan dahaga<br />
kubayar<br />
di tengah jalan aku berpapasan dengan sesosok lelaki, padanya ada dua anak perempuan berusia balita<br />
ah jelas, padanya kulihat setangkai guitarlele dan khas ditemani bungkus perman yang dipakai kembali<br />
pikirku aneh apa coba saja aku duduk berteduh, dia hanya membuka sebungkus nasi, kenapa harus dimakan bertiga<br />
aku langsung teringat, makanlah, jangan hiraukan apa-apa lagi, makan<br />
terlintas juga, jika memang betul atau sekalipun kebetulan ada usaha, ada yang lebih banyak, apa bisa juga menandingi nikmatnya mereka bersantap<br />
waktu menjentik dan saatnya aku beranjak lagi<br />
aku lihat, pundi yang terabaikan itu tadi, dengan latar sisi jalan, teduh dinaungi rindang pohon<br />
<br />
