Monday

This is the last day of 2012. What I do tonight? Hmm. Working. But, I've just finished it.

This year was so beautiful to me. Alhamdulillah, finally, I've finished my college and officially become a dentist. And tonight is the first time for me, hang out with my whole little family on December 31st. I've been spending my time in surabaya, this past 6 years.

This masehi's new year is not something to celebrate. It just a memorable time to do some life evaluation.

Btw, I failed my reading challenge this year. I only read 12,5 of the 20 books. Yeah, of course next week must be better.

See you next year.. ^^

My First Solo Trip (part 3)

The last post was about my 1st day in Bandung and I'll sill continue the story. Staying at my brother's boarding house didn't mean that he could take me everywhere I want to go. Because he was so busy, at night I went to one big mall in Bandung, Paris Van Java (PVJ), alone. He said it's okay to walk there, because it's not too far from his place. Then, I walked, walked, walked and walked. Yeah, of course it's not too far to walked there alone at night. -_-'

Actually, my purpose of going there is only to buy this 'wannabuysincealongtime' pretzel. Hehe. It's because, in Indonesia, so far I only found it here, in PVJ.

PRETZEL.. Yeaah.. Finally we meet again..

Luckily, when I arrived, there's a music performance from Kahitna. Then I spend a little time to watch their performance. They are good. I love when the musician do their live performance. I determine a good and bad musician by watching their live performance. And this group is a good one.

Kahitna live in action

Next day, I make an appointment with my friend, Sinta. She is my junior at college, but we're quite close and often hang out together. She is pregnant, on her 2nd going to 3rd trimester. It was really nice meeting a friend who has not been encoutered for a quite long time.

After lunch, with Sinta

Yeah, the meeting was quite short because I should take an afternoon train and continue my trip to Bojonggede, at 02.30 PM.

My first solo trip was quite fun. But, I think I prefer to go with at least one person to accompany me. Yeah, I think duet or trio trip will be better.

For you who want to try a solo trip there are some things that you should prepare.
First, you should decide which place you want to visit and make a little research by collecting informations about that place. 'Mbah' google makes it so much easier to do. Reading a blog which talk about the place also very helpful.
Second, make a simple itinerary. It will help to manage your time efficiently. And you won't get confuse, because you've plan your trip.
Third, don't bring too many stuff with you. Only brings the things you need. Money and a pocket camera is a must.

Maybe, it was the basic things. The most important thing is you should enjoy your trip and don't forget to pray everywhere you go.

Happy holiday, have a nice trip.

My First Solo Trip (part 2)

So, yesterday I've told you a part of my first solo trip. Let's move to the next destination.

After spending about 8 hours in Solo, I continued my trip. I took the night train, Lodaya Malam, from Solo Balapan Station to Bandung. It will take about 8 hours to go there. Because it was a night train, I can't see anything outside the train's windows. It's better to sleep. Just sleep.

And, I woke up at 4 am and preparing to do Subuh prayer. It was good that the train has a lot of water, so I can take wudhu. It was still too early to enjoy the scenery, because it still dark outside.

I arrived at Bandung around 6 am. My 1st younger brother, who is now live in Bandung to finish his study, pick me up on the station. I was planning to stay a night in Bandung, then I'll go to Bogor on the next day. Bandung is cold in the morning. After arriving at my brother's place, it takes me quite long time before deciding to take a bath (it was cold.. really..! the water make me shiver). And then I realized why Surabaya people always said that Bandung and Bogor are cold. Yeah, maybe it's been too long for me to live in Surabaya. :)

This day, I was preparing to visit some places, which is ITB, Museum Pos Indonesia, Museum Geologi, Gedung Sate, and going around the city. Yeah, living in Bogor since being an elementary student didn't make me know Bandung very well, alhough it only take a few hours to get there. So, on this opportunity, I ask my brother to take me around.

ITB

This is my first time visited ITB ever since. Haha. ITB has a unique design, it quite modern. I call it modern because it was really different from my college which building state as cultural heritage. Yeah, mine was an old building. What makes ITB looks cool was it has an underground building. Haha. I was really impressed with the underground part. :D

Lunch

It's the lunch time. After pray at Masjid Salman ITB (I always want to visit this Masjid, I'm just curious), me and my brother eat lunch at a little cafe, called Black Romantic. This cafe is unique. It was black and romantic. Haha. No, each menu have a unique name. The price also quite affordable. You can get iga bakar (grill ribs) for about 19.000 rupiah, it quite cheap for a ribs menu which usually cost 25.000 rupiah or more.




After lunch we were going to Gedung Sate. We almost rent a bike on Dago street to get there and suddenly, the rain was fall. Great. It's okay to ride a bike under the rain, but I realized that I didn't bring many clothes, so we decided not to. After the rain stopped we walk from Dago to Gedung Sate. Hmm. I've been to Bandung few times, and one thing that I hate about this city is the traffic. When we walk, the traffic was so crowded, luckily we walk and not taking a public transportation at that time.


Unfortunatelly, the Gedung Sate and Museum Pos Indonesia were closed. But, we still can take a picture in front of the building. :D

Gedung Sate n Museum Pos

Then, we walk to Museum Geology. It also near the Gedung Sate. Here you can learn more about planet, earth, prehistory things, etc. It was quite interesting, but it must be better if there is a guide who can explain about the museum. The most interesting part of this museum are the big fossil (hmm.. I think those are replica) of dinosaur and elephant also the things on a second floor. The 2nd floor is not fully finished, but, compare with the first floor, the things upstairs are more sophisticated in technology.

Quotes of The Day

another thing taken from my old-shouldhavebeendeletedbutnot-blog. posted on October 30, 2009. Seems like I was preparing for an exam at that time.

"Terkadang lebih baik tidur di lantai yang keras dibanding kasur yang empuk, karena kasur yang empuk membuat kita enggan untuk bangun dan kembali beraktifitas"

*terinspirasi kejadian 2 malem yang lalu. Ketika gw harus tidur di lantai gara2 kasur penuh dan ternyata gw bisa bangun lebih pagi dari biasanya

pretty good quote, right? hehe. ;p

5cm.

Berhubung filmnya baru launching, novel yang satu ini jadi in lagi sekarang. Saya baca buku ini pertama kali sudah beberapa tahun yang lalu, jadi detailnya juga sudah lupa. Saya belum nonton filmnya. Penasaran sih, but it's not that urgent to watch it. Postingan ini saya ambil dari blog lama saya di tahun 2009. Sebenernya blog ini sudah didelete sejak lama, tapi entah kenapa ternyata masih beredar di dunia maya sampai detik ini. So, this is my favourite part of the book.

“ semua keyakinan, keinginan, dan harapan kamu… taruh di depan kening, jangan menempel di kening… biarkan dia menggantung … mengambang… 5 cm di depan kening kamu.. jadi dia gak akan pernah lepas dari mata kamu. Dan kamu bawa mimpi dan keyakinan kamu itu setiap hari, kamu lihat setiap hari, dan percaya bahwa KAMU BISA! Apapun hambatannya, bilang sama diri kamu sendiri, kalo kamu percaya sama keinginan itu dan KAMU GAK BISA MENYERAH. Bahwa kamu berdiri lagi setiap kamu jatuh, bahwa kamu akan mengejarnya sampai dapat, apapun itu, segala keinginan, mimpi, cita-cita, keyakinan diri.. biarkan keyakinan kamu, 5 cm menggantung, mengambang di depan kening kamu. Dan sehabis itu yang kamu perlu Cuma.. kaki yang akan berjalan lebih jauh dari biasanya, tangan yang akan berbuat lebih banyak dari biasanya, mata yang akan menatap lebih laa dari biasanya, leher yang akan lebih sering melihat keatas, lapisan tekad yang seribu kali lebih keras dari baja.. dan hati yang akan berkerja ebih keras dari biasanya.. serta mulut yang akan selalu berdoa..

Dan kamu akan selalu dikenang sebagai seseorang yang masih punya mimpi dan keyakinan, bukan Cuma seonggok daging yang hanya punya nama. Kamu akan dikenang sebagai seorang yang percaya pada kekuatan mimpi dan mengejarnya, bukan seorang pemimpi saja, bukan orang biasa-biasa saja tanpa tujuan, mengikuti arus dan kalah oleh keadaan. Tapi seorang yang selalu percaya akan keajaiban mimpi, keajaiban cita-cita, dan keajaiban keyakinan manusia yang tak terkalkulasikan dengan angka berapapun.. dan kamu gak perlu bukti apakah mimpi-mimpi itu akan terwujud nantinya karena kamu akan hanya harus mempercayainya.. percaya pada 5cm di depan kening kamu.. “
Suka banget sama buku ini..!!!

My First Solo Trip (part 1)

Heiho.. I'm home..

Actually, I've been here for about 17 days. This trip is quite special for me, because I was visiting some places before really being home, alone. Yeah, this is my first official solo trip.

It has been a long time since my last trip using a train. So, I decided to go home by train. But, It's not a straight route as the usual. I decided to make some transits, in Solo and Bandung. And in the morning, on December 1st, the trip begin.

at Gubeng Station Surabaya, before departing

I went to Gubeng Station Surabaya to take a morning train, Sancaka Pagi, to Solo. Why Solo? There are several reasons. First, I don't know Solo. I've been there before, but it when I was very very young, so, I totally forget about that. Second, there's someone who keeps talking about how comfortable Solo is. And, he wants to live there on the future. Three, this city is quite famous nowadays because of its former mayor who is now being Jakarta mayor. And, the last, I want to ride a double-decker bus. Yeah, those are some reason why I want to visit Solo.

ariving at Solo Balapan Station

 So, I was arrived at Solo on 11 am. At first I a doubt whether Solo is really a city or not. Because, when I going outside the station, I just found a small street in front of me. And, when I was going to double-decker bus terminal, I don't find any big street with big building. It just confusing at that time, and I wonder why Solo is called a city. Hehe. Then, The time has come to ride this red double-decker bus. \(^o^)/

We can find the double-decker bus (Bus Werkudara) at kantor Dinas Perhubungan Solo, it is near the Manahan Stadion. I've been booked for the seat 1 day before departing. You can read more information about Bus Werkudara here. It'll take about 2 hours if you choose to join the full route. But, I get off the bus near the Keraton, and start my own trip. I didn't visit many places in Solo, it because I just have about 8 hours there, and I didn't do enough research about this city. So, that's it.

I think, Solo is quite good city. But, I think Surabaya is still better than that. I love Surabaya. Bogor? I love it, too. :)

The Book and Its Cover

"Don't judge the book from its cover". Who's never heard that before?
What? Seriously? That was one of the famous quote in the world, guys.

Me. I'm a person who always judge the book from it's cover. Yeah, I mean a real book. Every time I browse for book in a bookstore, the first step of finding a book to read is I always looking for a book which has an attractive cover. After that, I read the resume on the back cover of the book. If it sounds good, I look at the price. Affordable enough? Then, I'll buy it. Maybe that what makes me often missed a lot of good books to read.

For me, the book cover is always be an important part of the book, although not all books with good looking cover means good books to read, vice versa.

In life, of course we can't deny that the first thing that we look from a person is her/his appearance, right? Although not all people with a good appearance is always a good person, vice versa, the first impression always matter. Hmm, I think I'm a person who is quite careless with my looks, and maybe I should make myself more concern about it. But, the most important thing is I should always try to make myself better day by day. Because, instead of the appearance, quality means the most. Be a good person, and people will respect you.

Have a nice day, everyone! \(^o^)/

Smile

Do you smile because you are happy?

I do.

But, most of the time, I smile because it makes me happy.

:)

Dear, PiKu

It has been a long time since our last interaction.. But, until now I still hope that you'll be a part of my days again. Will you?

The Power of Kepepet

Pernah baca nggak buku The Power of Kepepet-nya Jaya Setiabudi?

Saya harus setuju bahwa manusia itu dapat memaksimalkan potensi dirinya pada saat dihadapkan pada kondisi yang kepepet. Seringnya dikondisi kepepet itu, ide baru bermunculan dan semangat bertambah tinggi. Karena, yang tertanam di kepala adalah "bagaimanapun caranya, pokoknya harus bisa", ya tentunya harus dengan cara yang baik dong, bukan dengan cara yang salah. It happens to me a lot.

Hal ini terjadi juga beberapa waktu yang lalu. Saat saya menjalani tugas sebagai Sie Acara Penggelaran Dokter Gigi dan Dokter Gigi Spesialis Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Unair Periode II/2012. Kepanitiaan ini adalah kepanitiaan terakhir yang saya ikuti dengan status sebagai mahasiswa sekaligus kepanitiaan pertama dengan status sebagai dokter gigi.

Acara Penggelaran kali ini mungkin satu-satunya yang unik dibandingkan dengan yang sebelum-sebelumnya. Why?
1. Lulusan tidak dilantik langsung oleh Dekan, melainkan diwakili oleh Wakil Dekan I.
2. Tidak ada Paduan Suara yang mengiringi acara prosesi pelantikan

So, kedua hal tersebut pulalah yang bikin panitia sempat kewalahan. H-3 sebelum acara kami baru mendapatkan informasi bahwa Tim Paduan Suara yang awalnya dijadwalkan tampil sejak awal acara baru bisa datang pukul 11.00 karena ada kuliah di pagi hari yang tidak bisa ditinggalkan. H-2 akhirnya diputuskan bahwa Acara tidak akan menggunakan Padus, dan akan digantikan oleh rekaman yang belum kami dapatkan pada saat itu. H-1 saatnya gladi resik, namun rekaman lagu belum juga lengkap sehingga kami menghubungi tim Paduan Suara untuk merekam kekurangan lagu untuk acara keesokan harinya. Malamnya, ketika cek ulang kelengkapan lagu ternyata ada 1 lagu yang kurang layak diputar karena kualitas suaranya yang tidak bersih dan penuh noise. So, berhubung saya nggak punya tim padus pribadi, berkaryalah saya di malam hari. Berbekal keyboard Yamaha PSR-9000 pinjaman, kabel modifikasi, mic 15rb-an, headphone murah meriah, serta PiPo Jr tersayang dengan software canggihnya Adobe Audition CS 5.5, terekamlah lagu hymne guru versi 'seperti choir tapi cuma 1 warna suara'.

Alhamdulillah pada hari H, lengkaplah seluruh lagu yang dibutuhkan dengan 1 lagu yang bikin geli telinga karena rasanya emang selalu geli kalo denger rekaman suara sendiri. hehe.



Alhamdulillah secara keseluruhan acara berlangsung dengan lancar.
Selamat untuk rekan-rekan dokter gigi dan dokter gigi spesialis yang dilantik tanggal 1 November 2012. Semoga sukses dan bermanfaat bagi masyarakat, bangsa dan negara. aamiin.. ^^

buat kamu yang masih muda

pernah nggak sih, ngelewatin kesempatan yang datang sendiri nyamperin kamu dan suatu saat kamu merasa menyesal telah melewatkan kesempatan itu? lalu yang terjadi adalah kita berandai-andai "seandainya dulu..", "kalau aja aku..", "seharusnya..", dll. Pasti pernah kan? *soktahu

Sometimes, it happened to me.

Banyak hal yang di kemudian hari membuat saya berpikir seperti itu karena, mungkin, kalau saya mengambil kesempatan tersebut, mungkin, saya akan menjadi lebih baik. Ya, oke. Sekali lagi itu masih kemungkinan. *I'm not sure, because I don't take it.

Hidup memang sudah digariskan, hidup memang sudah ada yang mengatur, namun kita sebagai manusia masih diberikan kesempatan untuk memilih dan menentukan jalan mana yang akan kita tempuh. Jadi, selama masih ada kesempatan yang datang kepada kamu, yang sekiranya akan memberikan hal yang baik untuk diri kamu, walau hanya sedikit, dan hal yang baik itu lebih banyak dari mudharat-nya, maka ambillah. Jangan sampai kesempatan yang baik itu terlewatkan dan di kemudian hari kamu hanya bisa berandai-andai

ya, ini pesan buat kamu. kamu yang masih muda.
iya, buat kamu. *ngomongsamadirisendiri

The Eight Pillars of Innovation

This article is written by SusanWojcicki. Re-blogged from: http://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/quarterly/innovation/8-pillars-of-innovation.html

The greatest innovations are the ones we take for granted, like light bulbs, refrigeration and penicillin. But in a world where the miraculous very quickly becomes common-place, how can a company, especially one as big as Google, maintain a spirit of innovation year after year?

Nurturing a culture that allows for innovation is the key. As we’ve grown to over 26,000 employees in more than 60 offices, we’ve worked hard to maintain the unique spirit that characterized Google way back when I joined as employee #16.

At that time I was Head of Marketing (a group of one), and over the past decade I’ve been lucky enough to work on a wide range of products. Some were big wins, others weren’t. Although much has changed through the years, I believe our commitment to innovation and risk has remained constant.

What’s different is that, even as we dream up what’s next, we face the classic innovator’s dilemma: should we invest in brand new products, or should we improve existing ones? We believe in doing both, and learning while we do it. Here are eight principles of innovation we’ve picked up along the way to guide us as we go.

Have a mission that matters

Work can be more than a job when it stands for something you care about. Google’s mission is to ‘organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.’ We use this simple statement to guide all of our decisions. When we start work in a new area, it’s often because we see an important issue that hasn’t been solved and we’re confident that technology can make a difference. For example, Gmail was created to address the need for more web email functionality, great search and more storage.

Our mission is one that has the potential to touch many lives, and we make sure that all our employees feel connected to it and empowered to help achieve it. In times of crisis, they have helped by organizing life-saving information and making it readily available. The dedicated Googlers who launched ourPerson Finder tool (to learn more see Missions that Matter) within two hours of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan this March are a wonderful recent example of that commitment.

Think big but start small

No matter how ambitious the plan, you have to roll up your sleeves and start somewhere. Google Books, which has brought the content of millions of books online, was an idea that our founder, Larry Page, had for a long time. People thought it was too crazy even to try, but he went ahead and bought a scanner and hooked it up in his office. He began scanning pages, timed how long it took with a metronome, ran the numbers and realized it would be possible to bring the world’s books online. Today, our Book Search index contains over 10 million books.

Similarly, AdSense, which delivers contextual ads to websites, started when one engineer put ads in Gmail. We realized that with more sophisticated technology we could do an even better job by devoting additional resources to this tiny project. Today, AdSense ads reach 80 percent of global internet users – it is the world’s largest ad network – and we have hundreds of thousands of publishers worldwide.

Strive for continual innovation, not instant perfection

The best part of working on the web? We get do-overs. Lots of them. The first version of AdWords, released in 1999, wasn’t very successful – almost no one clicked on the ads. Not many people remember that because we kept iterating and eventually reached the model we have today. And we’re still improving it; every year we run tens of thousands of search and ads quality experiments, and over the past year we’ve launched over a dozen new formats. Some products we update every day.

Our iterative process often teaches us invaluable lessons. Watching users ‘in the wild’ as they use our products is the best way to find out what works, then we can act on that feedback. It’s much better to learn these things early and be able to respond than to go too far down the wrong path.

Iterating has served us well. We weren’t first to Search, but we were able to make progress in the market by working quickly, learning faster and taking our next steps based on data.

Look for ideas everywhere

As the leader of our Ads products, I want to hear ideas from everyone – and that includes our partners, advertisers and all of the people on my team. I also want to be a part of the conversations Googlers are having in the hallways.

Several years ago, we took this quite literally and posted an ideas board on a wall at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View. On a Friday night, an engineer went to the board and wrote down the details of a convoluted problem we had with our ads system. A group of Googlers lacking exciting plans for the evening began re-writing the algorithm within hours and had solved the problem by Tuesday.

Some of the best ideas at Google are sparked just like that – when small groups of Googlers take a break on a random afternoon and start talking about things that excite them. The Google Art Project, which brought thousands of museum works online, and successful AdWords features like Automated Rules, are great examples of projects that started out in our ‘microkitchens.’ This is why we make sure Google is stocked with plenty of snacks at all times.

Share everything

Our employees know pretty much everything that’s going on and why decisions are made. Every quarter, we share the entire Board Letter with all 26,000 employees, and we present the same slides presented to the Board of Directors in a company-wide meeting.

By sharing everything, you encourage the discussion, exchange and re-interpretation of ideas, which can lead to unexpected and innovative outcomes. We try to facilitate this by working in small, crowded teams in open cube arrangements, rather than individual offices.

When someone has an idea or needs input on a decision, they can just look up and say, ‘Hey…’ to the person sitting next to them. Maybe that cube-mate will have something to contribute as well. The idea for language translation inGoogle Talk (our Gmail chat client) came out of conversations between the Google Talk and Google Translate teams when they happened to be working near one another.

Spark with imagination, fuel with data

In our fast-evolving market, it’s hard for people to know, or even imagine, what they want. That’s why we recruit people who believe the impossible can become a reality. One example is Sebastian Thrun who, along with his team, is building technology for driverless cars to reduce the number of lives lost to roadside accidents each year. These cars, still in development, have logged 140,000 hands-free miles driving down San Francisco’s famously twisty Lombard Street, across the Golden Gate Bridge and up the Pacific Coast Highway without a single accident.

We try to encourage this type of blue-sky thinking through ‘20 percent time’ – a full day a week during which engineers can work on whatever they want. Looking back at our launch calendar over a recent six-month period, we found that many products started life in employees’ 20 percent time.

What begins with intuition is fueled by insights. If you’re lucky, these reinforce one another. For a while the number of Google search results displayed on a page was 10 simply because our founders thought that was the best number. We eventually did a test, asking users, ‘Would you like 10, 20 or 30 search results on one page?’ They unanimously said they wanted 30. But 10 results did far better in actual user tests, because the page loaded faster. It turns out that providing 30 results was 20 percent slower than providing 10, and what users really wanted was speed. That’s the beautiful thing about data – it can either back up your instincts or prove them totally wrong.

Be a platform

There is so much awe-inspiring innovation being driven by people all over the globe. That’s why we believe so strongly in the power of open technologies. They enable anyone, anywhere, to apply their unique skills, perspectives and passions to the creation of new products and features on top of our platforms.

This openness helps to move the needle forward for everyone involved. Google Earth, for example, allows developers to build ‘layers’ on top of our maps and share them with the world. One user created a layer that uses animations of real-time sensor data to illustrate what might happen if sea levels rose from one to 100 meters. Another famous example of open technology is our mobile platform, Android. There are currently over 310 devices on the market built on the Android OS, and close to half a million Android developers outside the company who enjoy the support of Google’s extensive resources. These independent developers are responsible for most of the 200,000 apps in the Android marketplace.

Never fail to fail

Google is known for YouTube, not Google Video Player. The thing is, people remember your hits more than your misses. It’s okay to fail as long as you learn from your mistakes and correct them fast. Trust me, we’ve failed plenty of times. Knowing that it’s okay to fail can free you up to take risks. And the tech industry is so dynamic that the moment you stop taking risks is the moment you get left behind.

Two of the first projects I worked on at Google, AdSense and Google Answers, were both uncharted territory for the company. While AdSense grew to be a multi-billion-dollar business, Google Answers (which let users post questions and pay an expert for the answer) was retired after four years. We learned a lot in that time, and we were able to apply the knowledge we had gathered to the development of future products. If we’d been afraid to fail, we never would have tried Google Answers or AdSense, and missed an opportunity with each one.

Our growing Google workforce comes to us from all over the world, bringing with them vastly different experiences and backgrounds. A set of strong common principles for a company makes it possible for all its employees to work as one and move forward together. We just need to continue to say ‘yes’ and resist a culture of ‘no’, accept the inevitability of failures, and continue iterating until we get things right.

As it says on our homepage, ‘I’m feeling lucky.’ That’s certainly how I feel coming to work every day, and something I never want to take for granted.

Random Night

tonight..
1. One of my not-to-close-junior suddenly ask me to find him a future wife. *whysuddenly?
2. I have double works today, but it finished earlier than usual. Usually, I can't sleep until 2 am to finished my works.
:)

Pre-Marital Syndrome

Pertama-tama ini bukan tentang saya. *noted

Menjelang pernikahan, pasti rasanya campur aduk. Seorang sahabat saya mulai merasakan hal ini kira2 sejak 6 bulan sebelum pernikahannya. Banyak memang hal yang harus dipikirkan. Dimana nanti akan tinggal, bagaimana pembagian peran dalam berumah tangga, bagaimana harus mengatur anggaran rumah tangga, dan hal lain yang mungkin sebelumnya belum pernah dilalui saat masih lajang. Ketakutan-ketakutan pun akhirnya muncul menjelang pernikahan, dan hal itu sangatlah wajar.

Menikah merupakan sebuah langkah untuk memasuki fase baru dalam hidup, dan untuk itu tentunya kita membutuhkan berbagai macam penyesuaian. Penyesuaian dalam berbagai macam hal, fisik, mental serta materi. Menikah nggak cukup bermodal cinta. Ilmu dan tanggungjawab mutlak diperlukan. Materi juga harus dipersiapkan.

Sudah saatnya sih untuk mempersiapkan hal-hal tersebut dari sekarang, so, bila waktunya tiba, at least kita udah punya modal, minimal modal ilmu.

So, prince charming, when you'll come and pick me up?

Hehehe.. *nevermind

PiPo Jr. New Life

Do you know PiPo Jr? Haha. Let me introduce you to one of my bestiest. ^^

PiPo is the one with I Love Skripsi wallpaper. It is one of my lovely things. This beautiful PiPo Jr has been accompanying me for these past few years. Some of my friend ask me why I give PiPo Jr as my laptop name. PiPo actually an acronym of Pinter Poool (Very Smart).. hehe. Yeah, this little PiPo can help me to do many things. It can help me records my new song, doing some creative things, watching my favourite movies and TV shows, listening my favorite songs, doing many things, and the most important one is PiPo Jr help me finish my undergraduate thesis. Very smart right?

Recently, PiPo seems exhausted. It takes a long time to boot and shutdown, stuttering when singing and it's noisy. PiPo had aged, and maybe I pushed it too hard to do somethings.

Yesterday, I change PiPo Jr's brain from XP to 7. No more long time booting, no more stuttering, but still noisy. PiPo Jr has a new life. And it still as smart as before and maybe will become smarter. 

Welcome back PiPo Jr. It's nice to have you as one of my bestiest. :) 

Tengah Malam

Malam ini adalah malam Jumat.. *jengjengjeng
Kenapa gitu dengan malam Jumat? Ya nggak kenapa-kenapa sih sebenernya. Pertama-tama saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Idul Fitri 1433 H. Ya, walaupun telatnya udah telat banget ya. Hehehe.

So, sekarang sebenernya lagi bingung. Tengah malam gini, udah ngantuk sebenernya, tapi entah kenapa belom bisa tidur. Hmm. Dan ini terjadi juga beberapa malam belakangan ini.
kenapa oh kenapa?

Cerita aja deh ya.. Jadi, akhir Ramadhan kemarin alias beberapa hari sebelum idul fitri saya mudik saudara-saudara ke tanah Bojong yang tercinta. Heaaa.. Seneng banget bisa kumpul sama keluarga kecil nan antik alias the sutjahjo's. Antik? Hmm. Ya gitu deh.

Tidak disangka kedua adik saya tercinta sudah tumbuh menjadi lelaki yang ganteng (ehmm.. iya deh ganteng) dan berprofesi menjadi penasihat percintaan. Bapak saya bertambah muda karena rambutnya menghitam kembali dan ibu saya sudah tidak hobi lagi ngajak ngomong orang tidur. Ahahaa..

Ber lebaran alias ber-idul fitri di Bojong itu punya keunikan tersendiri. Sebenernya mau diceritain sekalian. Tapi ternyata eh ternyata udah mulai ngantuk nih.. So, ceritanya disambung lagi kapan-kapan ya.

Selamat malam dunia.. Mimpi yang indah.. :)

Sahur Pertama

Tepat pada tanggal 6 Ramadhan 1433H, tibalah waktunya saya berpuasa di Ramadhan tahun ini.. Alhamdulillah.. Akhirnya..

Tidak seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya yang kalau sahur udah ada yang masak, dan tinggal makan bersama-sama.. Sahur perdana Ramadhan ini saya ditemani oleh.. oleh siapa ya? *celingak-celinguk cari temen
Yaaa.. saya sahur sendirian saudara-saudara..

Malam hari sebelum tidur, saya pasang alarm yang harusnya berbunyi pukul 03.00 pagi.. dan ternyata alarm saya memang berbunyi jam 03.00 pagi..hehe.. Ya, sebenarnya sudah biasa sih selama 7 bulan ini sendirian, begadang.. tapi.. hari ini terasa banget bedanya.. Sahur sendiri..

Yang terjadi adalah, saya lupa belum masak nasi semalam.. Padahal itu adalah makanan wajib buat saya yang prinsipnya kalau belum makan nasi itu belum makan.. Hehe.. Untungnya saya sudah sedia roti tawar, kurma dan makanan kebangsaan anak kost se-Indonesia yaitu mie instan.. Dan itulah yang menjadi menu sahur saya hari ini..

Masih 25 hari lagi menuju Idul Fitri.. Target-target Ramadhan harus dikejar dong..

Ini ceritaku.. Bagaimana ceritamu?

So, selamat shaum semuanya.. Semoga segala amal ibadah yang dilakukan barokah dan bisa tetap dipertahankan kedepannya.. Aamiin..

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Ramadhan telah tiba.. Gimana hayo kabar ibadahnya?

Sayangnya sampai detik ini saya belum ikutan shaum.. Cuma ikutan nggak makan waktu siang, but it won't count of course. :)

Mau cerita sedikit ya..

This July is one of my lifetime precious moment. Many things happened, and I'm so grateful. Actually, these things almost start in the same time and also finished in almost same time. 

Let's get back to about 7 months ago.. Come with me..! (walk into time-machine.. hehe)

December, 2011

I moved to my aunt's house. I decided to live there to get focused on my undergraduate thesis. Nothing wrong living with my BIG Family before, but I just need a new fresh environment. And here I am, now. :)

In the middle of December, when I was busy preparing for my thesis proposal, something shocking happened. I was diagnosed with a disease that need a long term medication. Something that I never imagine happened to me. The doctor gave me a lot of pills to eat. I had to swallow 3 big pills a day at one time, everyday. Err. So, I set my "saatnya minum obat" alarm on, every 9.00 PM.

January - June, 2012

Life goes on. I have my proposal exam on January 11, 2012. After that, I prepared my research while continuing my treatment. It was quite tiring because I need to do routine check-up, and also routine thesis consultation. The research not going smoothly. I have to re-research and re-re-research. Yeah, that was give me a little pressure, but Alhamdulillah I have many person who always support me. I love you.

July, 2012

This is the time to catch up my final thesis exam. Time seems going so fast. I meet my lovely lecturer everyday, stay awake every night doing the revision, and still taking the pills. Hmm.. Just make it fast. On July 12, 2012.. After taking A LOT OF PILLS, Alhamdulillah, it's over. I was cured just a day before my final thesis exam. And another incredible thing is I finished and submit my undergraduate thesis just a day before Ramadhan. Subhanallah. :)

Seems coincidence? I don't think so.

That has been arranged. Allah has Arranged everything.

This July is so amazing.

Some things over.

It's a new journey after all.

I won't stop be grateful for everything.

Skripsweet

"Sesungguhnya SKRIPSI yang paling baik itu adalah SKRIPSI yang selesai"

 -someoneinsomewhere

Alhamdulillah..
Finally, I've finished my undergraduate thesis.. \(^o^)/

Perjalanan per-SKRIPSI-an saya bisa dibilang panjang dan berliku. Setelah melalui 3 sidang proposal di 3 departemen berbeda, akhirnya SKRIPSI kelar juga. Nggak usah bahas yang dulu-dulu kali ya, kenapa 2 calon SKRIPSI saya akhirnya nggak kelar. Allah memang selalu punya rencana. And this is my way. :)

Bisa dibilang SKRIPSI saya yang (selesai) ini adalah SKRIPSI yang paling berkesan. *yaiyalah
Why?


I'm living alone for the first time
Selama ngedate sama skripsweet saya mengasingkan diri untuk mengurangi distraction. This is my first time in my life living alone. No one in the house but me.

"Masak-masak sendiri, 

makan-makan sendiri, 

cuci baju sendiri, 

tidurpun sendiri.." -Caca Handika

Haha.. curcol deh.. Hidup sendiri itu emang menuntut kedisiplinan diri yang cukup tinggi. Karena nggak ada orang yang ngebangunin di pagi hari, nggak ada yang masakin, nggak ada yang bersihin rumah, ga ada yang nyuciin baju, nggak ada yang ngingetin minum obat, nggak ada yang bakal ngelakuin sesuatu buat kamu kalo bukan kamu sendiri yang ngelakuin semuanya. At least I can upgrade my skill buat bekal untuk berumah tangga nanti. betul, betul, betul?


Doing a solo-long-driving-journey
Selama di Surabaya, baru karena SKRIPSI saya berpetualang sendiri ke Batu dan Malang. My longest solo-driving-journey so far. Sebelumnya pernah sih ber-motor-ria dari Lawang ke Surabaya, tapi itu berdua, nggak sendiri. Ya, karena memang harus, walau agak abstrak ngebayangin jalan yang bakal dilalui dan sempet muter-muter geje, the journey must go on dong. Tujuannya kemana coba? BPTP, UPT Materia Medika daaaan.. SAWAH.. hehehe.. :)

No, this isn't scarecrow..!

Seems easy. But..
Salah satu alasan kenapa saya memutuskan untuk meneruskan penelitian salah satu adik kelas saya ini adalah karena penelitian ini terlihat mudah dan simpel. Buat yang belum pernah terjun langsung ke dunia penelitian laboratorium seperti saya, tentu kemudahan adalah salah satu pertimbangan. Tapi ternyata dalam perjalanannya, banyak faktor X yang nggak bisa diduga kedatangannya. Ya, SKRIPSI adalah saat dimana kesabaran, ketekunan, keimanan dan semangat kita harus dijaga agar tetap di puncak karena kita nggak pernah tau apa yang akan terjadi. Saya sempat mengulang penelitian hingga 3x, walaupun nggak mengulang secara keseluruhan. Apa jadinya kalau 4 hal tadi nggak ada di puncak? Bisa-bisa desperate dan nggak selesai deh tu SKRIPSI. :D



I have great lecturers as my undergraduate thesis mentors
My main mentor is the best I've got.  Dosen yang cukup perfectionist dan super teliti. Terjadinya faktor X yang sempat saya ceritakan sebelumnya adalah saat yang terkadang membuat saya ingin lari dari realita (lebaaay). Haha. But, I survive, one of them because of her support. She gives me so many advices and encouragement, not only about the research, but also about life. She even share a little of her family time with me on the weekend. I really appreciate it. I love you, Bunda. My second mentor is also nice. hmm. I don't have many moment with him actually. But he's quite nice. :)

I get incredible supports from my family and friends
Tentunya keberhasilan ini nggak lepas dari support orang-orang terdekat saya. Karena versi ucapan terima kasih di naskah SKRIPSI kena "sensor", let me write it here. Terima kasih kepada Ibu dan Bapak terus membanjiri saya dengan doa, dukungan dan kasih sayang yang begitu besarnya. Kedua adik saya Eri dan Ega yang walaupun jauh tetap mewarnai hari-hari saya. Tante utik yang udah mengijinkan saya 'bertapa' di rumahnya dan meminjamkan mobilnya untuk transportasi skripsi, hehehe. Jambi Family (Tante Wati, Om Sigit, Bagus, Ayu, Indah, Ita, Gagah, Tante Peni, Mbak Tik) that always color my life everyday in these past 7 years. Sahabat saya: Nurul yang selalu 'meneror' saya dengan SMSnya dari kejauhan.. hahaha. Great job, girl..!; Mbak Rini yang menyempatkan diri menemani saya penelitian ba'da praktek; Ruruh, Lindia dan Dila atas dukungan dan persahabatannya; El yang pulang senam langsung ke kampus dan nemenin saya 'menggosok gigi'; Niluh yang berjuang bareng dan berhasil selesai duluan. hehe..; Reni yang udah membantu, semoga lancar thesisnya dan kita bisa wisuda bareng..; Mb.Bertha & Mas Danny, incredible couple yang muncul secara tiba-tiba di depan rumah saya yang bahkan mereka nggak tau alamat lengkapnya.. It shock me, actually.. Terima kasih atas bimbingannya selama ini, senior.. hehe; Mas Kuntha yang sabar menanti (ke-geer-an).. haha.. nggak nyangka bisa sidang skripsi dengan waktu yang nggak beda jauh..; Mb. Mute, Sinta, Tri, Ve, Vendi, Lalita.. hmm.. semua sahabat saya atas persahabatan yang indah selama ini.. I love you full..; Nggak lupa juga buat pasien-pasien saya waktu co-ass dan my cute little students yang selalu bikin bahagia tiap ketemu mereka.. ^^

Masih banyak tentunya yang bikin SKRIPSI ini penuh kesan. But, let me just keep it in my memory.

Menurut saya, ngerjain skripsi itu yang paling penting adalah istiqomah. Sekali aja kamu stuck dan memutuskan untuk berhenti, akan butuh gaya yang besar untuk memulainya kembali.

SEMANGAT.. \(^o^)/

Akhir kata,

'Tak ada gading yang tak retak, tak ada SKRIPSI yang sempurna.' -siesti

Friday the 13th

Many people said that Friday the 13th was a bad day. For me, Alhamdulillah, it was one of my happiest day. Today, finally I have my undergraduate thesis exam. It was one of my long-awaited moment. I'm so grateful. Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulillah..
\(^o^)/

Happy Birthday, Mom

Dear my lovely mom,
First, I'd like to say Happy 55th Birthday to you. I will always pray and wish all the best things for you.
I'm really grateful having you as my mom. My supermom, the one and only.
You are an incredible person that always cheers me up and supports me in any condition. The one that always told me to enjoy all the process of my life because we only live once in this world. A person that always gives me all the best. The one that often call all your children's name although you only want to call one of us (fortunately you've got only three, you've get exhausted when you have more.. ^^).
I know that I'm not a perfect children and maybe disappointed you sometimes. I also know that there's nothing in this world that can payback all the things you gave me.
I just want you to know that I love you and I will always do.
You'll always be my one and only supermom.
Once again.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
I love you. :*

Postingan Dini Hari

Jam dinding menunjukkan pukul 01.30 dini hari. Seperti hari-hari sebelumnya, mata saya masih terpaku di depan layar LCD laptop yang menyala terang. Saya pandangi rangkaian kata yang menari-nari. Tarian kata yang membutuhkan koreografi yang rapi dan indah untuk dinikmati serta mudah untuk dimengerti. Tidak mudah menuangkan buah pikiran dalam rangkaian kata, tapi bukan berarti tidak bisa. Saat ini adalah salah satu momen yang tepat untuk mempelajarinya. 

Beruntung saya memiliki seorang pembimbing yang begitu detail memperhatikan hal-hal tersebut. Seorang Bunda yang membimbing dengan sabar, mengkritik bila ada yang kurang baik dan memberikan masukan yang berharga. Yeah, of course she did it because it was a part of her job, professionally. But, I really really appreciate what she have done to me. I'll try my best to finish this thing.

Let's continue.. ^^

Keep Calm and....

You can make ur own here

Happy Saturday Morning

Alhamdulillah, Sabtu pagi telah tiba. Sabtu pagi merupakan waktu favorit saya, karena hari sabtu adalah waktunya melakukan hal-hal yang saya suka.
Saturday is my 'me-time'.

This Saturday, I'll share my 'me-time' with my 'now-first-priority' thing.

Keep smiling, stay happy, keep the spirit. \(^o^)/

Happy weekend

These few days

"Begadang jangan begadang, kalau tiada artinya. Begadang boleh saja, kalau ada perlunya."

Rhoma Irama

Belakangan ini jam biologis saya berubah. Sekarang adalah masa-masanya beraktivitas di malam hari, apa lagi kalo bukan ngerjain skripsi. Hahaha.^^
Ternyata eh ternyata, kalo dinikmati ngerjain skripsi itu asik juga, euy! Walaupun harus revisi tiap hari juga yaa dinikmatin aja lah yaaa. Semoga cepet selesai, euy.

Semangat..! Semangat..!

Sekian

Re-Re-Research

Almost.. Yeah almost..

There're things that I need to do..

There's a spirit that i need to keep..

There're wishes that I need to pray..

There's few more steps that I need to live..

Almost.. Yeah almost..

That will lead me to another place..

Wider.. Colorful.. Challenging..

Almost.. Yeah almost..

Set me free..

What Makes Me Happy

We only live once. There will be a hard time, but we should be grateful and enjoy every steps that we take. There're so many simple ways to make me happy. These are some of them.

What makes you happy? 

Cheers ^^

09.00 PM

This past 6 months.

The alarm rings.

That's the time.

To take my pills.

Nervous

It just happened.
My hands were shaking.
My heartbeat were running so fast.
I don't know why.
It just happened

Galau? Hari gini?

Bulan telah berganti.. Deadline telah menanti.. Ramadhan pun sebentar lagi..

Eh, pagi-pagi gini.. Awal bulan lagi.. Kok ngomongin galau?
Sebenernya saya bukan orang yang nggak pernah galau. Orang yang punya kepribadian plegmatis melankolis seperti saya ini malah bisa dibilang sangat berpotensi untuk galau. Hehe. Yeah, it's happen sometimes. *curcol

So, what is galau by the way?
Menurut website artikata.com
ber.ga.lau (adj) sibuk beramai-ramai; ramai sekali; kacau tidak keruan (pikiran)
ke.ga.lau.an (n) sifat (keadaan hal) galau

Sebenarnya potensi galau pada setiap manusia itu pasti ada, karena pada dasarnya manusia itu  suka berkeluh kesah. Seperti tercantum di Al-Quran

"Sesungguhnya manusia diciptakan bersifat keluh kesah lagi kikir. Apabila ia ditimpa kesusahan ia berkeluh kesah, dan apabila ia mendapat kebaikan ia amat kikir." (QS Al-Ma'arij 19-21)

Nah, karena kita semua berpotensi galau, tentunya harus punya cara dong buat mengatasinya. Karena saya tipe orang introvert yang self-healer, jadi mungkin cara mengatasi galaunya beda sama orang extrovert yang mungkin curhat ada di list tips mengatasi galaunya.

So, here they are:

Mengatasi Galau ala Esti ^^

1. Berdzikir dan Berdoa : hal ini tentunya nggak cuma bisa dilakukan kalau kamu galau tapi bisa kapan aja dimana aja. Sholat, mengaji, berdoa.. This is one best method to relieve ur stress, if you believe.

2. Tersenyum : walau berat, coba deh buat tersenyum. It always works. Se galau-galaunya kita, jangan sampe bikin orang lain ikutan galau bin bete dong.

3. Do your hobbies : lakukan hal yang kamu suka. Baca buku, chatting, ngenet, ngeblog, whatever you like to do (yang baik loh tentunya).

4. Hindari hal-hal yang bikin galau berlarut-larut : Hahaha.. Apakah ini? Maksudnya, hindarilah hal-hal yang berpotensi menambah kadar kegalauan, contohnya ndengerin lagu mellow, nonton film sedih, dan apapun itu yang bikin tambah galau.

5. Do something new : Kadang-kadang galau itu muncul karena bosan sama rutinitas yang gitu-gitu aja. So, you can do something different. kalo biasanya makan telor dadar, sekali-kali bikin telor ceplok; kalo biasanya suka makan roti pake meises, ganti selai kacang; kalo suka makan nasi, sekali-kali cobain bubur; suka minum susu putih, cobain susu coklat. haha. kok makanan semua gini? hey, this is my way. jangan protes ya. ^^  

6. Convert your "galau"ness into something positive : nah ini dia yang nggak kalah penting. sebenernya ini mungkin sedikit nyambung sama poin nomer 3 (do your hobbies). For example, buat yang suka ngeblog bisa berkarya dengan postingan blog-nya; pecinta sastra bisa bikin puisi, cerpen apapun itu; pecinta seni bisa bikin lukisan, lagu, dll.

Kayanya cukup 6 poin dulu kali ya. Sekali lagi itu cara saya, caramu mungkin berbeda. Intinya sih galau itu wajar aja, tapi jangan kelamaan dan berlarut-larut. Bahaya, bisi teu produktif. Cheers. ^^

Going Through

by. Esti C A

Sometimes, I think it would be okay to runaway

To hideaway from this reality, and go with fantasy

I'm trying to leave all my problems away

Pretending, there's nothing happen

But, I realize that I can't go

And I know I cannot hide

All I have to do, just going through

Ini salah satu wujud poin nomer 6. Galau, jadi deh sebuah lagu. ^^

Surabaya

Lomba Mendongeng

Berkecimpung di dunia anak-anak dengan menjadi pengajar PAUD selama kurang lebih 1 tahun belakangan ini memberikan cukup banyak pengalaman untuk saya. Hari ini, Alhamdulillah saya dapat kesempatan buat ikutan lomba mendongeng antar bunda PAUD se-kelurahan Darmo, Surabaya. Mana mungkin saya ikutan lomba mendongeng kalo tidak ngajar di PAUD? hehehe. ^^

Karena memang tidak pernah menaruh perhatian di bidang dongeng-mendongeng, tentunya bayangan mengenai lomba ini masih agak abstrak di kepala saya. Lagi-lagi mbah google jadi sesuatu yang bisa diandalkan. Setelah menelusuri beberapa referensi, dan menonton beberapa video para pendongeng yang sedang bercerita, saya jadi agak ragu. Mereka bercerita dengan menggunakan gesture, memperagakan adegan-adegan yang diceritakan, mengubah-ubah suara sesuai tokoh yang diperankan. Hal-hal yang tadi saya sebutkan adalah hal-hal yang rasanya jarang saya lakukan, karena saya bukanlah orang yang suka bercerita dan lebih senang mendengarkan. Tetapi, persamaan dari kebanyakan video yang saya tonton, cara mereka bercerita itu hampir sama, kurang alami, alias terlalu dibuat-buat dan berkesan 'sok' kharismatik. Akhirnya saya menyimpulkan bahwa yang harus saya lakukan di atas panggung saat lomba mendongeng adalah menyampaikan sebuah cerita dengan pesan moral yang baik, semenarik dan sealami mungkin. Oke, I think I can do it.

Bisa dibilang, persiapan ikut lomba ini memang kurang maksimal, karena ide cerita baru saya dapatkan pagi hari ini ketika bertapa di kamar mandi. :D

Sebenarnya, sejak awal diutus untuk mewakili PAUD tempat saya mengajar, sudah cukup banyak cerita yang saya baca. Namun, entah kenapa semua yang saya baca adalah cerita yang sekiranya sudah sering saya dengar dan mungkin sudah banyak orang dengar. Karena ini adalah debut saya, saya ingin menceritakan suatu yang berbeda. Alhasil, ide cerita malah baru saya dapatkan di saat-saat terakhir. Huff. Kenapa kreativitas itu selalu muncul di akhir? -_-"

Dengan berbekal cerita yang lahir di kamar mandi, properti dadakan serta berlatih semaksimal yang saya bisa sejak pagi, akhirnya berdirilah saya di atas panggung. Di sana saya berusaha bercerita semenarik dan seasyik mungkin (menurut saya tentunya). I think I did quite good, except I told the story too fast because I only have 10 minutes on stage. Yang paling penting, menurut saya, yang saya lakukan beda dari yang lain. Hmm. I hope that was a good thing.

Setelah pemenang lomba diumumkan, pemenang lomba tadi ternyata adalah tipikal pendongeng yang saya sebutkan diawal cerita tadi. Ternyata saya salah, menurut juri hal yang terpenting dari mendongeng adalah bagaimana sebuah cerita yang dibawakan dapat membawa orang masuk ke dalam cerita. Dan mungkin cara yang saya nilai sok 'kharismatik' tadi adalah cara yang sudah terbukti ampuh dalam menyampaikan pesan dari sebuah cerita dongeng. Mungkin saya berpikir cara bercerita saya cukup baik tadi, namun itu adalah hal yang sia-sia apabila pesan dalam cerita tersebut tidak tersampaikan dengan baik. Baik menurut saya kan belum tentu baik menurut juri. :)

Ya, untuk menjadi pendongeng yang baik tentunya saya masih harus banyak belajar. Tidak mungkin saya tiba-tiba jadi pendongeng yang baik hanya bermodalkan cerita yang lahir di kamar mandi disaat-saat terakhir. Bagaimanapun ini adalah pengalaman yang cukup berharga buat saya. Berani tampil di atas panggung di hadapan orang banyak merupakan satu prestasi buat saya yang lebih suka berada di balik layar.

Will I try again if I have the next opportunity? Hmm. Maybe? Let's see. ^^

Forever Alone

Wawaw.. Ternyata postingan sebelumnya galau banget ya? Hahaha.. Udahan deh posting galau nya.. Ya, emang sejak tinggal menyelesaikan satu tanggungan akademis ini jadi agak sensitif. Tapi udah lah. Hari gini galau? Apa kata dunia? *hayah

Forever Alone Meme

Forever alone?
Nggak lah ya.. hahaha..

So, ceritanya itu.. saya lagi punya ide usaha.. sekarang lagi trial.. lagi seneng-senengnya berkreasi, tapi sayang-disayang, my lovely "S" thing really don't allow me to get into this totally. Semoga itu tanggungan cepet selesai, biar bisa mengejar yang pingin dikejar. Aamiin.

Eh, ngomong-ngomong, hari minggu ini saya diutus ikut lomba mendongeng antar Bunda PAUD se kelurahan Darmo. Actually, it will be my first experience.. I hope I can do my best..

Semangat yuk.. Semangaaat.. ^^

Just Me

Many people can easily tell their closest person about their problem. I'm not
Many people can easily ask people for help. I'm not
Many people can easily share their stories. I'm not

I don't know if it's just me who can't easily let other people knows what I really doubt for, and pretends everything is okay.
I don't know if it's just me who can't easily tell them what I really wants, and just go with the flow.
I don't know if it's just me who cover my own problems and try to solve everything alone.

Here I am.
I'm just being me.
Let me be,

Just me.

How?

How to measure the foam volume?

Yeah.. This is about my research.. Actually, this thing makes me confuse these few days. Okay, I know that to measure the volume, we need a measuring cup. The problem is, how to take out all the foam from the brushing simulation device into the measuring cup.

Haha. It's quite weird to write this thing here. Never mind. I'll find the technique soon. And finish this thing.

Soon.

Friends in Solitude

What's yours?

Feeling

Uneasy feeling are haunting me these few days.

My best friend said that Allah Knows the right time.

I know it.

I just hope it'll come sooner.

Yeah. 

Sooner.

Selamat Hari Buku Sedunia
