RAD staff now I am officially. I have to be glad I’m back in this department after a short detour in MMU early last year. Though I’m in a different unit, but hey, that’s what I wanted, and I got it ! So, for just this, I can only say....Alhamdulillah ;-)
So goes on the journey. Turns out that I still have to be rotated for at least the start of the new semester in May later on. Boss says its to see in which part I would be needed and seen to be excelling at. I don’t mind personally, as I do have to understand such actions since I have never been deployed so in the unit.
In other words, its kinda like a OJT, but you won;t be going anywhere after it ends. So I guess that what I really need to do from this point onwards is to build up a strong enthusiasm and rapport on any kind of assignments given. I don’t have any TRP companions on my back now so my condition is a do or die stance.
For this month and May later, being a credit reviewer would be my daily work. Being the next line after a credit analyst, I have to say it brings back some headache that I purposely wanted to avoid. The good thing is that, you won’t be having t make up the analysis from scratch. The bad part, you need to be knowledgeable enough to criticize and amend any mistakes in the works of an analyst. And for me who’s work as an analyst back then was sort of wishy washy, I guess I need to gear up my learning curve in order to keep up with the pace.
There’s a part which I do have to consider myself lucky, which is the condition of my peers which seems to be very supportive (my perspective so far). Until my first two days, I have been continuously engaging in constructive discussions on how to do a proper credit review. By dong so, I have to admit, the job is certainly challenging. Not only it involves the point as mentioned in the previous paragraph, it also is a mixture of seeing things from another perspective of things.
So from now, I’ve gotta get myself engaged in more work to sharpen up my abilities. Though it may lead up to more cuts and bruises, I guess its a necessity if I were to succeed in this field, ganbarimashou !!!!!

Permanent
Errr.... dua bulan kah?bisa jadi begitu sih, again life rolls around like a dice in a game. Ngga’ bakalan tau kemana nasib berputar. Yang hanya bisa diusahain hanyalah kecepatan dan arah lemparan. Tapi jatuhnya itu dadu dimana, hanya Tuhan lah yang Maha Mengetahui.
Ok, kali ini gw ngga akan akan lagi permasalahan yang ada di beberapa post gw sebelumnya. Akan ada lanjutan posting2 tersebut. Yang ingin kutuangkan dalam posting kali ini adalah bagaimana keadaan berjalan di kantor, kelanjutan OJT, dan pandangan2ku akan hal2 itu.
Sampai hari ini, sudah 4 bulan lebih gw di CBD1. Honestly, in terms of total experience, banyak amat hal yang kudapatkan disini. Kalo mau disingkat, tempat ini adalah semacam all in one place to learn everything from A to Z. Dari bagaimana meng-approach customer sampai pemeliharaan secara dokumentasi dan transaksi hari2, bisa kita dapatkan disini. Hal ini membuat proses pembelajaraan dan praktek jadi lebih menyeluruh.
Hal ini kurang bisa terjadi di departemen2 sebelumnya. Itu karena, departmen2 lain lebih merupakan 1 departemen terspesialisasi pada 1 bidang. Memang, jadinya kita lebih fokus pada 1 pekerjaan tetap. Tapi dalam jangka panjang, hal itu akan membuat kita kehilangan fokus akan garis besar dari perkerjaan di kantor ini. Yang dalam hal ini, gambar besar itu bisa kuraih kembali di departemen ini.
And gw harus bersyukur. Masa rolling di departmen ini di extend untuk 1 bulan sampe Maret. Ini karena pengumuman permanent placement sudah diberikan. Yep....the bloody announcement was made finally. After waiting almost 3 months the agony was finished. Me?? Alhamdulillah I got what I wanted, which was to be placed as a credit risk officer. Others?? Most where accepted with mixed feelings. While some did go to place where they wanted, the sense of awkwardness was evident. Maybe some emotios were still lingering with the place of designation. Others even were placed into departments completely foreign to them, and obviously this was viewed with an even more downward tone in their hearts.
Well, I known it was a hard process for the HR friends and management, but then you’ve gotta remember, we’re soldiers in a battle field. So the only choice available is to follow the assignments or get your ass out to another office. Works these days have little if not no consideration on a persons feelings towards their placement as most employees nowadays are considered mere robots, even to be considered a soldier is still quite a luxury.
On my side,I guess I am truly lucky to be assigned on that role. The reason is that I am one of the few people who got the placement exactly were I wanted to be. For that only, I feel really grateful to Allah SWT who has heard my wishes and prayers. My choice to be there is also based on certain reasons, that most of them stretch back to my life perspective, and future plans ahead.
Going back to my basic principles, working in a bank honestly wasn’t my best and ideal job and career. Though I have yet to know what best suits me for my life, I can tell that working here is somewhat of a vile and capitalistic work. The idea of amassing huge amounts of money from other peoples is just way too much. And we are continuously forced to do so. In short, they say greed is good.
And it is thru these things that people just get a job in any banks possible. My friends have also yearned for those prestigious positions in a bank such as marketing, dealer, analyst and so. But for me, such spotlights aren’t dazzling me anymore. While I can settle for reasons saying that it’s more to build a career portfolio in the long run, for long term commitment in a bank, I think that’s gonna eat your life up some day.
To think my thoughts are wrong. Well, I’ve seen one too many people in the office that stands as direct examples of what I perceive of people that end up amassing to much money for the bank and themselves. The saddening part is, though you do gain a well paid paycheck, you barely could enjoy your life with someone meant for you. Even if they do have someone already, its as if your playing chase and run everyday just to juggle your roles as a familyman and salaryman.
On my personal view on my placement in the department and towards the office, it still stays as a mere stepping stone. It’s for need of amassing the needed knowledge, know hows and money to get ready starting up my own job. I’ve always longed to do so. Eventhough my head is still blank in regards to what would be my finest things to do, I have engraved it in my heart and soul to be able to achieve soon. If my plan is still vague, lets just say I hope by the next 12 years, I can start to see myself doing some little steps in beginning a new self job.
Nevertheless . . . welcome yourself to a new journey !! :)

Music Memories (Part 4)
1. Be with You
Ngga’ bisa lupa adanya lagu ini terkait hari2 pertamaku di Perth. I remember it on the first Monday of my time there, just rite after I was left by my parents to start on a new journey in my life. After take bus routes here and there for the whole day, I thought of concluding it with a trip to the inet cafe just rite besides my hotel. And to my surprise, BoA just released her latest single. Download it I did, and . . . being a soothing slow ballad, it marked my first of the lonesome days in downunder...
2. Sunadokei
Okay . . . it was around november to December when I first heard this song. What was I doing? Well . . . just nothing daily asides taking my nihongo courses, watching dramas and fooling around, waiting for my time in ozzy would come. The good song prompted me to buy its physical album when I went to Jakarta on December 2007, which I also met Donny & Syarif at Solaria Thamrin.
3. Ignite
If there was one time in my bachelor days where I did achieve and enjoy a high score, it was on the 5th semester. After foolinh around for the first 2 years, I finally got to notion that I’m a real college student. On the other thing, I attended two classes of a middle ages guy. Turned out to be thrilling as not only the class approach was friendly, I managed to end up the semester with the highest GP of all my entire study period . . . 3.33 . . . first and last :p
4. Gracious Days
Mantep dach . . . . sik tas tuku albume BoA sing MIT, langsung kena gejala tipes slama 2 minggu. Akhire rong minggu pikiran ra kuat dinggo garep skripsi. Pas wes mari lorone, langsung tancep gas mendem ning kamar rong minggu non stop ngetik ditemani lagu2 tekan album MIT. Dibilang kesel yo kesel, tapi jangan tanya rasa puasnya . . . . bener2 mantep iso marekno kabeh bab 4 hanya dalam 2 minggu setelah kena masalah di metpen, ngebut nggolek responden dan kena sakit pula.
5. Pelukis Malam
Sik tas mari lulus SMP, kepikiran arep dolan ning omah dulurku ning sby. Pertama kali ngine mrono, uonkep dan akeh nyamuke sing langsung entuk. Selain itu, rasanya lumayan bisa tau sisi kehidupan lain dari Indonesia, karena ketika itu yang kuketahui hanya ja tkarta thok. As for the song, pertama denger pas lagi bantu2 mas dedy di rumahnya. Asik dan gimana gitu. Little did i realize it was gonna be a start of a whole lot of things in my life, well . . . at least for the next decade . . .
6. Thanks for the memories
Sungguh ngga bisa ngga inget lagu ini begitu pas mau brangkat ke Perth. Hanya rasa trima kasih yang bisa diucapkan atas segala masa2 indah terutama 8 bulan menjelang keberangkatan. Ketika itu, sungguh aku ngga’ tau kapan aku bisa ngunjungin Indo, so I kinda though that it might be quite some while before my next visit.

The A-Z of modern Life (Part 1)
Android (A)
Naaah. . . this ain’t a robot. Well . . . its sorta, but just on the picture, one little green robot that is able to rock the world of mobile communication. Being the an open source mobile OS launched in 2009, it now is one of the fastest growing OS in the world, rivaling the iOS used in iPhones.
What makes this OS special is its openness. Being an open source, it makes people to easily tweak and do anything to it even to then codings of the software, not something you can do to a proprietary OS like Symbian or iOS. And the growing number of apps on the market speaks of it self as how many and many people are flocking to use this thing.
If you may think its gonna blow a hole on yer wallet, think again. As an open source (again), phone developers have the ability to customize it to the phone specs. By doing so, even small spec mobiles are able to use this green dude. The only difference comes in speed of processing due to spec limitation. So, you don’t need to worry about blowing your savings to get one of these.
Blogger (B)
One of those famous blogging sites out there, makes life easier when you have to tell out your thoughts and ideas on the net in words. Though i’ld personally think the tweaking for our blogs are kinds hard and with limited choices, it still free though :p. And most of all, it’s owned by google, so your pretty much integrated with all other google services which makes things easier if your gonna matchem up with other services like youtube and mail maybe.
Detik (D)
A long time news portal from Indonesia. Delivering updated news second by second as the name implies. Not juts ordinary news, but all kind of news, from politics, economy, social, celebrities, tech, sports and health, just name it lah. Really useful if your pretty lazy on browsing other news sources as it compiles most of the news available from very much point of views.
Facebook (F)
Ok . . . who hasn’t has a facebook? The biggest social network site in the world has put its claws in Indonesia around 2009-2010 perhaps. Surpassing myspace and the now morfed friendster, it sure has become one helluva giant. But thumbs up really goes to Mark Zuckerberg who always brings out something new for facebook. Not only as a social network, but we are able to chat, do e-mails game online. In Indonesia, it also has become some kind of a marketing tool to sell goods here & there.
However, it really goes back to its basic function, connecting people. Finding long lost friends from the past are way simpler nowadays, as long as they aren’t completely of the grid. Also communicating with people as human get more mobile nowadays is also made fun with the comment function on the wall. Privacy? I guess this is where facebook wins as we are able to set the privacy perimeters, one things its predecessors lacked.
Google (G)
The ultimate search engine that everyone would refer too. News has it that even some people already consider it as a god due to its massive abilities, from just a search engine, to maps, translator and so on. It now even has created the open source android OS for mobile phones. For me personally, its one of those few things nowadays that really has made a huge impact on how we do things daily. You can almost find any thing on google. As they say . . . just google it :D.
iPod (I)
Pot e pot . . . . the revolusionary gadget that changed the music, computer and mobile industry. Its sleek design and breakthrough features have followed on to its other siblings such as the iPhone and iPad. But for the iPod itself, listening to music has changed lately. Not only making it more compact, but also how you get it over the web. Still awaiting other related “i” things from apple ;)
Kaskus (K)
As the tagline says . . . the biggest forum in Indonesia. It surely does live of to its name. Hosting hundreds of dozen of threads from everything all across Indonesia and areas that have Indonesians, kaskus now is even transforming itself to a e-commerce hub with its FJB. Sorta of a localized version of ebay, its more of an online meeting point. Despite still sounding manual compared to ebay and other counterpart, its still one of the most used and famous places to buy and sell online in Indonesia.
Mozilla (M)
The fox that’s chewing IE slowly. Well, it still has other competitors like Opera and the new Chrome. But for me, mozilla’s still number 1 ;). Its getting more sleek in terms of design and also quicker. Moreover, the menu for me is quite similar to IE, hence I don’t have to bother adapting myself to the other words in the menu’s of other browsers :p.

Deployment Chronicles~Risk Administration (Middle Market)
Up i go to the third floor again. And for another first time, I’m confined in a room, specifically for the middle market risk unit, one sort of an autonomous unit under the RAD. Why I say autonomous, is because all the unit here, like CMU and OMU, aren’t really related to each other asides the fact that they both control risks. Hence, its sort of odd when they all seldom interact with each other as their work requires little so.
As it says market, its somehow of a policeman towards what the treasury does. So, its kinda more close of a relationship to the dealing room compared to the others. The benefit? Often gettin free meals and snack when any of the dealers are having an occasion. Sort of inviting some jealousy from the other units :D.
The first days here, were not only on dealing with learning the ins and outs of the place, it was more on swifting my mindset. Having been six month in the ops departments, my mindset was kinda set at having to help out others with their work ASAP. And since it was more practical and physical, it didn’t take long for us to do so. But in the middle office, we had to have a better grip of the work, the products, and the workflow. So we couldn’t just rashly go and help others. We had to move at a sure but steady pace.
So for the first weeks, I was almost left with nothing real to do asides attaching myself to one of the staffs, learning, asking and taking notes on what they were doing. Asides so, I was also left learning the treasury products, which to be honest, have some twist in them. This hindered us from understanding them quickly. It wasn’t until the second month there that I finally had the chance to do some real work, still under the supervision of a senior staff.
It was around March or so, that i finally had the chance to do the work with almost no direct supervising. As time moved on, I was given the chance to learn other duties. On several occasions, I was also given the chance to contact other staff to discuss certain aspects of work. All these slowly build up my knowledge and guts in work interaction.
But what excites me in this unit, is the fact that you get the chance to know things of the front offices work, without having the need to handle it first time. It’s useful as a stepping stone and as a learning process, since you mostly have the time to get use of things by yourself. This is the case for most middle office deployments like KYC/AML, RMD and PIP.
One another side, the time here in the MMU, i gained a lot of weight, all to the likings of the staffs there who really like to snack and dine out. I guess that’s what happens when most of the staffs are women -_________-;. Another thing is that I managed to travel in a consecutive 4 months, to Singapore, Jogja (2x), and Malang. But
I guess this was due to to piling boredom of working in middle office. Its the routine that often kills.
Anyway, that’s almost all on my time there. New place new things, I guess that what I’m gonna face when entering my new office. See ya next time ;-).

Deployment Chronicles~Operation Departments
Just a sudden idea, the thought of writing down my experiences over the past deployments. 4 rounds in 1 year. Time does flies. With 6 months in operations, 4 month start in middle. Not to mention the 2 months training in the start, its as if we’re already veterans having gulpped so much things over those time. The writing here will go on till the very last round. It’ll be 2 for starters. The first one i thought to summarized it as each operation round was just 2 months.
Foreign remittance for starters. In between July till September, things were where job started. Had a rocky start since my body had to adapt, experiencing nose bleeds till typhoid. The work itself was really stamina stretching as we often had to work till seven. And for info, the office hours are officially till 4.30 pm :p.
The co workers, though most of them were middle aged, were really helpful in lending a hand with our first time in office. Though just seem about remitting foreign money, this the start of where we got to know the ins and outs of banking. It was also here that I experienced my first ramadhan since working, another new feeling asides having it in aussie for the last two years before.
After having a half month extension, I moved on to the new round. Originally to Deposit, things changed a week before with a sudden announcement that I was placed at Credit service.Ok . . . that’s gonna be around 4 units in just two month. Another lot of things to handle. Lucky or not, I didn’t managed to get a taste of all units till the very end. Only managed to be in the loan unit with a few trips of learning at the bank guarantee unit. Export and import units were left untouched. This also happened to my co TRP mates who were deployed there.
Under staffing was mostly the main cause. Hence, I couldn’t let myself ho to other units while my current one was bleeding with less people. Nevertheless, it was at this place that i managed to get a more broader perspective of other banking areas. As the unit was mainly about executing loan transactions, its was mostly about credits and their basics. Also i had the first time to interact with staffs from the second floor where main business activities were usually carried out.
The work itself was kinda detailed and involving loads of paper work. And as a loan fighter, I had to quickly summarized them soon to be able to act as a helping hand to the current unit. Time flew and finally I was getting a grip on things by the third week. By the end of my time here, we also had to prepare for our performance at the Branch Seminar. Having to dance Beyonce’s Single ladies, trust me . . . that’s gonna be my first and last shameful performance in front of a huge crowd -________-;
Third round . . . account service. Back to the first floor. The place was rite besides the foreign remittance. This is one of the slow and laxiest department in operations, as you normally get to home at around 5-6 pm on normal days. This place has a lot of things to study, which are not as intertwined with each others. They involve preparing fax remittances, account maintenance, and petty cash execution. As being one of the laxiest, thing were kinda a tand slow at start, having to figure out what the hell to do. I even had one day were I managed to do nothing but just reading manuals and procedures.
But that was just one day. The next was simultaneous periods of working as ai got to know the know hows. It was here that we finally got to plan our TRP first major get away to singapore for the upcoming months in middle and front office. With christmast and new years passing by, all of a sudden, we already had our operations past by.
Though only half a year, I believe our time in this place really helped us set a foot in the office. It also serves to mold our attitudes and mindset to our work. Next stop would be te middle/front office, where new things are bound for us . . . were no TRP has gone before . . .
Foreign remittance for starters. In between July till September, things were where job started. Had a rocky start since my body had to adapt, experiencing nose bleeds till typhoid. The work itself was really stamina stretching as we often had to work till seven. And for info, the office hours are officially till 4.30 pm :p.
The co workers, though most of them were middle aged, were really helpful in lending a hand with our first time in office. Though just seem about remitting foreign money, this the start of where we got to know the ins and outs of banking. It was also here that I experienced my first ramadhan since working, another new feeling asides having it in aussie for the last two years before.
After having a half month extension, I moved on to the new round. Originally to Deposit, things changed a week before with a sudden announcement that I was placed at Credit service.Ok . . . that’s gonna be around 4 units in just two month. Another lot of things to handle. Lucky or not, I didn’t managed to get a taste of all units till the very end. Only managed to be in the loan unit with a few trips of learning at the bank guarantee unit. Export and import units were left untouched.

Ngemal sampe Gempor!! (Part 2)
1.Grand Indonesia
Mal yangs super duper nyempil ditengah kesumpekan Jakarta. But then, ini mal emang salag satu yang berkelas, dalam artian lokasi, isi dan namanya. Dibagi west and east mal, ni mall bener2 bisa bikin betah siapa aja yang da didalamnya secara ada semua yang elo cari. Cuma sayangnya ya ni mall memang ngarahnya sih ke kalangan kelas atas. Satu lagi, lokasinya itu lhoh . . . bener2 bikin harus berjuang kalo mo kesana. Kalo ngga’ kena macet duluan karena harus ngantri-tri melewati jalan kesana yang kecil2 :(.
2.Plaza Indonesia+EX Plaza
Tetangga tua-nya GI dan kakaknya EX Plaza, ni mall menurut gw bener mal butik. Secara isinya butik2 dengan barang2 yang harganya dah bikin sakit hati duluan. Dah gitu ngga’ ada food court . . . ualamaaakkk. Untung ada sodaranya mudanya yang dihubungkan dengan jembata kecil dibelakang kedutaan jepang. Cuman ya itu, berhub sasaran tetep middle to high end, toko2nya pun ya nayamul larang regone . . . Cuma at least di EX elo masih bisa main bowling n makan fast food yang masih terjangkau lah :D
3.FX Plaza
Mal yang anti nongkrong kalo kata temen2 gw. Secara klo elo mo nongkrong, kata mereka sich harus ada food court jadi bisa berlama2. Sayangnya, tempat ini ngga ada 1 pun tempat itu. Gantinya . . . malah banyak resto2 dengan harga yang dah bikin perut mules duluan bayangin harganya. Emang sich, konsep ni mal bagus n funky banget secara katanya dibangun dengan konsep fashion. Tapi ya itu dia . . . gw rasa bagus ngga’ nya urusan fashion emang berbanding lurus dengan harga2 yang tercantum padanya . . .
4.Pacific Place
Namanya bener2 unik . . . secara menurut gw bener2 bernuansa bule banget. Lokasi bener2 downtown deket ama perkantoran, cocok bagi bisnis man n women yang ingin shoppin n hangout habis kerja. Palagi emang tetangganya IDX, udah deh. Puas2 mainin saham, foya2 deh disni. Sama kaya FX, nih tempat kagak ada food court.Jadi siap2 aja merogoh kocek lebih dalem kalo emang mo nongkrong disni.
5. Taman Anggrek
Salah satu mal tua. Dah gw kunjungin sejak masih SMP. Tempat sih bener strategis. Saking strategisnya ampe2 bikin macet disekitarnya :)). Besarnya itu merupakan salah satu mal superblock di Jakarta seinget gw. Not much to say bout ths place. Mirip ama Sency. Sayangnya lokasinya yg bikin macet dah bikin ilfil mo kesana duluan. Berhub yang bisa dicari disana bisa didapatkan dengan lebih deket dengan tempat gw, jadinya dah ngga’ sesering dulu kesana.

Ngemal sampe Gempor!! (Part 1)
1. Sency
Singkatan dari Senayan City, mall terdekat dari rumah gw :D. Melihat ukurannya, emang pantes banget dibilang city, secara selain mal, juga ada apartemen dan perkantoran. Terdapat banyak toko2 kelas dunia from A to Z, just mention it. Dilengkapi foodcourt n bioskop XXI, dijamin bisa betah deh :p. Paling yang kurang yakni ngga’ adanya underpass ke mal depannya yakni PS juga ukuran toko buku yang kurang besar dibandingkan ukuran mal-nya sendiri.
2. Plaza Senayan
Ibarat kaca, mungkin PS ini merupakan cermin langsung dari Sency karena letaknya yang hadap2an. Mal yang cukup lama berdiri, sejak 1997-1998 kalo ngga’ salah. Dulu berasa banget bosennya di mal ini berhubung yang ada cuma butik2 kelas dunia yang liat harganya aja dah biki sakit hati. Sekarang dah lumayan lah. Gw pribadi ke sini paling kalo da perlu ke Metro n ke Kinokuniya. Andai ngga’ ada 2 toko ini, kayanya bisa jarang banget gw kesini.
3. Pondok Indah Mall
I’ld reckon this one to be one of the oldest mall’s in Jakarta. And until now, its still one of the largest in the southern parts of Jakarta. Dulu adanya cuma 1 gedung PIM doang, sekarang dah ada pengembangan di depannya dengan nama PIM2. Dengan letak yang strategis n dilewati jalur busway, mal ini bener2 bisa dikatakan one of the best malls to me. All you can find here lah ;-).
4. ITC Permata Hijau
Levelnya n tampilan sih kelas matos, tapi gw ngga’ akan meremehkan yang ini. Selain deket, tempat ini juga jadi tujuan belanja sehari2 secara ada Carrefour yang harganya lebih bersahabat dibandingkan foodhall yang ada di mal2 diatas. Paling yang kurang di tempat ini cuma ngga’ ada toko buku (ada sih tapi macem tak niat tampilannya @.@) n bioskop. Other tan that, menurut gw tempat ini cukup decent lah :).
5. Gandaria City
The new kid on the block!! Another superblock mall yang hadir deket rumah gw. Besarnya mungkin bisa dikatakan setara ama Sency kayanya. Begitu pula dengan fasilitas2 n hiburan yang ada didalam, really what you would expect from a modern day supermal. However, tempat ini masih kurang dalam beberapa aspek. Jalurnya yang berada pada jalur macet (ruas jalan arteri pondok indah) kadang bikin agak males kesana. Trus tuk urusan foodcourt, cara bayarnya lumayan ribet gara2 pake kartu prabayar :-S

Surviving in Oz
Ok . . . maybe gw kangen belakangan ama hidup gw setahun lalu di ozzy . . . sampe bikin blog kedua dalam beberapa hari ini tentang oz. Hanya saja . . . daripada mendem aja di otak, gw pikir ditulis aja, daripada ada ide bagus tapi malah g dipublish. Keburu jadi fosil di utekku nanti :p
Eniwei, its all bout what made me survived in Ozzy. Well, pastinya beda2 tiap orang, but then again, its just an illustration of I could do back then during those 2 years. Lets see . . .
1. Yahoo Messenger
First things first, gw harus berterima kasih ama di sopwer. Tanpa ini, bisa jadi gw bakal malah membusuk ato berevolusi jadi orang aborijin. Karena adanya ini, gw bisa tetep keep in touch ama temen2 n keluarga gw di ozzy. Di ozzy pun, adanya ini bisa membuat gw lebih leluasa ngebahas soal di kala g bisa kopdar karena hal2 lain. Dan 1 lagi yg gw suka . . . pake YM pu bisa disambi dengan ngerjain tugas (kcuali emang bener2 butuh konsen lho yo :p). Bener2 gw harus bersyukur dah ada sopwer ini. Really can’t imagine life would be without n
2. Internet
Tentu kalo pengen bisa YM-an, harus ada inet :p. Tapi terlepas dari YM, inet sendiri juga memainkan peran signifikan dalam upaya gw bertahan hidup. Gw masih inget hari2 pertama gw disana tanpa adanya koneksi, sumpah . . . . hambar nan hampa! Masih untung ada warnet yg bisa gw datangin sampe saat gw subscribe koneksi. Selain gw bisa update dengan berita2 n memudahkan dikala harus ngerjain tugas, yang paling gw suka adalah bandwithnya yg melimpah ruah !!. Ngga’ punya kampus, kos2an atopun pribadi, sumpeh . . . . 2 tahun gw jadi bandwith monster dan tak terhitung brapa banyak DVD yang gw hasilkan tuk backup data2 yang dah gw donlot . . . mulai dari BoA, laruku, manga, anime sampe drama. Just imagine . . .unlimited di kos, 7gb pribadi n 1 gb di kampus (sempet unlimited c dulunya :p). Sungguh . . . . masa2 indah yang entah kan terulang lagi . . . . .
3. Pecel
Panganan ndeso nan ngangeni >:D< . Resep pertama yang gw bawa dari Indonesia dan bahkan sempet pula bikin gw batal masuk ozzy gara2 dipermasalahkan ama petugas imigrasi :)). Begitu yg dari indo dah habis, alhamdulillah ternyata disini pun banyak yang jual bumbu pecel. Dan yang bikin gw semakin bangga . . . . itu bumbu bikinan MALANG!!! Subhanallah . . . . jan hidup AREMA . . . g kemana2 ada dimana yeahh !!! Eniwei. Mangan lecep iki jan nggarakno awak iki rasane koyo mulih kampung ae, muantap vokoke :D
4. Casual Work
Okay . . . to be honest, walo kliatan capek, gw saranin banget tuk bisa kerja di luar. Emang sih bakal harus pinter2 ngatur waktu, tenaga n pikiran dengan kuliah kita. But trust me, the benefits are way bigger if you are able to manage things properly. Yang pasti dapet uang saku tambahan dan tabungan kalo dah pulang nanti. Tapi selain itu itu juga akan membuka wawasan n melatih mental kita dalam menghadapi hidup coi ;), Belum juga hal2 positif lain seperti menambah kenalan n koneksi seruta memperlacar bahasa inggris. Banyak deh, its obviously worth the effort :D.
5. Get engaged with national organizations
Ini bisa lewat PPI atao sejenisnya. Yang jelas cari teman sebangsalah. Bukannya apa, walo emang dianjurkan memperbanyak kenalan2 asing mumpung di nagri, jangan ampe ngelupain ama teman dari negoro dewe. Selain udah klop dari segi bahasa, urusan2 tetek bengek biasanya jadi lebih cincai, dari kos2an, hang out sampe common interest. Syukur2 emang kalo ampe aktif di organisasi. Tapi kalo engga pun its not problem. Tapi paling g harus punya lah beberapa teman sebangsa yang bisa dikontek kalo2 ada apa2
6. Personal Skills
Yang ini emang agak rancu, tapi dalam hal ini, maksud jelas gw adalah try to do things yourself. Bukannya mencabut diri kita dari berbagai interaksi sosial yang memang mempermudah hidup kita. Tapi sebelum ke arah sana, ngga ada salahnya pabila kita mencoba mencoba menyelesaikan tantangan yang ada di depan kita alias MANDIRI!! Ini bisa dari segi belajar, bertransportasi, makan ataupun hal2 lain. Emang sih bakal kluar banyak usaha n dana. But believe me, every thing is worth it as it’ll enrich our self capability and confidence. Bukannya apa, soalnya di negeri kita yang cenderung semua ada n bisa minta tolong orang lain tuk ngerjain, di LN kondisinya bertola belakang. Kalopun ada yng bisa seperti di negeri sendiri, itupun biasanya g semua mau atao imbalannya besar. As they say. . . there’ aint’ free lunch :). For me personallym the things i was able to learn autodically was things such as cooking, repairing my bicycle, DIY stuffs and commuting alone B-).
I guess there’s loads left, but these six are the basics that I thingss have saved me from those times. If possible, might add some later on in a same title or even different one. Lets see later on . . . jya ne :).

Was it?
Was it when i first saw u with the veil on back then in ramadhan 2001?
Or was it when I read your blog on fs?
Did it happen when you downloaded the song?
Or was it when you said you had the drama’s I wanted?
It could be any out of all the possibilities
But surely our moments so far ain’t no possibility :)
Was it when u said you’ve been reading my writings?
Or was it when you said . . . you liked me too :D ?

All about ozzy (Part 1)
The barbie’s on lakeside . . . or maybe on the riverside, accompanied by the sunset
The blue sky above, barely any clouds seen, could either be mixed in the heat or the breeze
Cycling from places, easy as it comes as the lane is reserved just for us, just remember ur helmet and stay alert :)
Or you can just hop on the train or the bus, do bring your fully loaded smartrider to ease things
Hungry? Just stop by at your favorite kebab parlor and have a juicy bite of those tender lamb meat inside *sluurrpppnyamnyam
Or if its just a thirst quencer that you need . . . just find some fountains that can be seen almost everwhere :p
The clean streets and roads, all with the happy go life that they live, is far away from the bust
That’ll constantly put your mind at peace . . .
(to be continued . . . .)

Two Cups
Coffee . . . a rich flavored beverage that has shapened up civilization till now
Chocolate . . . a sweetness that have made people flock around for its taste
Being poured into the white mug . . . it adds atmosphere to the place its served
It brings liveliness to the room
It addresses the mouth with all the best a taste bud could feel
And it gives you fondness to enjoy the talks after that
Just taking a sip of it . . . it prompts us to take the eternity of being together
Endless fondness thru chit chats are made genuinely as our thirst is being quenced
Until the last slurp . . . it makes us go for more, for the moment is what makes us want to hold hands forever . . . . :)

When experience matters
Time flies . . . and all of a sudden . . . we’re just into the 5th round of deployment, or the second ever since entering the middle/front offices. Damn i guess a lot of things have happened over the past 4 months in MMU. From the lamest to the greatest . . . . just name it ... from weekend-ing at Singapore, double visiting Jogja and a trip to Malang. Well . . . i guess I’ve spent at least once a month going outside city. Can’t help it though, with the increasing routines and workload to swallow up, your bound to do such things sooner or later, even if it does cost some bucks, its worth it :)
And now, we’re in the CAD a.K.a Credit Analyst Department. Well, after having some heart popping weekdays preparing the BSMR test, we can now all move on the next phase. Damn it took time for the HR’s to figure out our placements. It took until H-2 for them to finally announce our destiny. Though i got the news while in Jogja, I ket following who went where. While some people did go to places where they wanted and where expected to do so, some others still didn’t. But that’s what you expect from the HR’s . . . . always with the element of surprise :p.
Anyway . . . first day of the month, of I went with two others. To be honest, every first things feel daunting, and I do still feel so even when having moving to new places. Regardless of the fact that the job description here ain’t something alien for me though as a former accounting student before, doing it first handily in the real world was something different. It’s full of the real consequences . . .
Therefore, off i went filling the first day with having myself in a mode of stage fever. Knowing what to do as I was given an assignment to analyze a certain company’s loan renewal, I was left awestruck without having a clue on what and where to begin. In the end of the day, all i managed to do was just reading out the manuals and previous works on how to get things started.
After a days break due to public holiday, the last day of the week back in office was way better (in my standards :p). I just started of with the simplest of task first. As the day started off, I received more instructions on what to do next. Hence forth, the day ended of with a days full of analyzing the financial reports. Really, even though it was just basically reading the numbers and the relationship in between them, it really left me hell drained out body and soul. Luckily I managed to have some good hang out with my TRP mates to let loose the stress out due to office the nite later.
In overall, I do somehow have mixed feelings having being placed here currently. While i cannot deny the fact that this current placement is in line with my academic qualifications, but i do realize that the job itself is more daunting since we’re talking bout real life cases. The fact that while it says its all bout analyzing, to me . . . its more bout an art being covered with calculations. There’s no shortcut in doind the job. While you can study the basics in college, what makes you a seasoned analyzer is the degree of exposure you get from doing the job continuously over and over again. Or in short . . . experience matters !
I know its normal feel helpless since i’ve just done 2 days of work. But the sheer anxiety within me keeps me from always prompting myself to keep up with the achievements of the previous rounds. Not to mention that my pride of an accounting alumni puts me on the edge to keep performing as what others expect me to do so. All i can do right now to keep opening up those accounting books of mine while also praying for the best so that I can end this round in a happy state insya Allah :)
And now, we’re in the CAD a.K.a Credit Analyst Department. Well, after having some heart popping weekdays preparing the BSMR test, we can now all move on the next phase. Damn it took time for the HR’s to figure out our placements. It took until H-2 for them to finally announce our destiny. Though i got the news while in Jogja, I ket following who went where. While some people did go to places where they wanted and where expected to do so, some others still didn’t. But that’s what you expect from the HR’s . . . . always with the element of surprise :p.
Anyway . . . first day of the month, of I went with two others. To be honest, every first things feel daunting, and I do still feel so even when having moving to new places. Regardless of the fact that the job description here ain’t something alien for me though as a former accounting student before, doing it first handily in the real world was something different. It’s full of the real consequences . . .
Therefore, off i went filling the first day with having myself in a mode of stage fever. Knowing what to do as I was given an assignment to analyze a certain company’s loan renewal, I was left awestruck without having a clue on what and where to begin. In the end of the day, all i managed to do was just reading out the manuals and previous works on how to get things started.
After a days break due to public holiday, the last day of the week back in office was way better (in my standards :p). I just started of with the simplest of task first. As the day started off, I received more instructions on what to do next. Hence forth, the day ended of with a days full of analyzing the financial reports. Really, even though it was just basically reading the numbers and the relationship in between them, it really left me hell drained out body and soul. Luckily I managed to have some good hang out with my TRP mates to let loose the stress out due to office the nite later.
In overall, I do somehow have mixed feelings having being placed here currently. While i cannot deny the fact that this current placement is in line with my academic qualifications, but i do realize that the job itself is more daunting since we’re talking bout real life cases. The fact that while it says its all bout analyzing, to me . . . its more bout an art being covered with calculations. There’s no shortcut in doind the job.

Fond-Due
Like a liquid of possibilities . . we find ourselves in the whirlpool of crossroads.
Gettin closer, the swirl ends and off we are to each ends of the pool
Running and rotating each other, we see yet it is only when the spoon is dipped and rotated, only we can get back to the whirlpool of fondness
A sudden dip can abruptly stop the greet, but hey . . . only a cruel would dare to do such things
Served hot . . . such bond should always kept this way, for coldness it the sign of being thrown away
Melting like cheese . . . the sweetness must be preserved in anyway, for it keeps the smile awake
The fondness of touch . . . is due closely, as far away ness cannot help the ending swirl of fondness . . .

Epitome of Freakness
Hah . . huh . . . heh . . hoh . . .Hih . . .
An amnesia of thoughts, really has left this soul dry through out the days living mundane stuffs . . . and now I’m already like . . . what the .... what’s going on with me?
An amalgamation of several stuffs such as social, assignments, futures, luckily no past but too much of a present >.<, all stuck up in one cramped room . . .
Not to be a moaner, but recent life has been the typical salary man life. Despite the neat tie, polished shoes and fancy clothes, you just end up doing the basic stuffs to fill out the senior staff’s work. The urge to make something out of the day has really been degraded into mere remembrance lately. Piled up by all other pragmatic errands.
And does it eat me? Somehow . . . YES!! First, you just feel you just wanna go home, lay your bed, be in one random sleep somewhere. Second, you just feel the sudden regret that weekend’s has passed. Third, you crave for any new entertainment that could fill up your soul. The fourth . . . the epitome of all . . . you just yearn and long for one answer. . . . when is all this gonna end??????????????????????Okay . . .it is rhetoric as it all has been decided, round the corner of may and june, but damn . . . it sure seems long. Never thought these times would be this full of boredom in a twisted manner never ever thought of. Then with all these moans, i wonder then . . . what if I’m a permanent staff . . . I’ld reckon feeling the same or even hellish things than I am.
Though saying to keep the positive vibration seems easy, maintaining and finding it is another thing. I guess the only thing to do in these times is to do what we do best at these moments . . . could be anything, but its a try to relinquish the better moments in life we had and use it as a spring or sort to bounce back up to the top I guess.
The next thing I’m eagerly waiting is the chance to take my leave. Really need a good getaway to detox my mind and routines from all the paperwork's of office. Already in the process of doing so, just hope all things go good ;).
I know that writing this wouldn’t do me any good as actions are more needed, but really . . . just felt the urge to write up something load to burn up all the bad things . . . .

two.....
What does it means to be two . . . .?
Well . . . it's obvious that its more than one, having more numbers to it
With two . . . the possibilities are wide open than being a singular being
by two . . . it means there are a pair
With pairs . . . it shows that all things can be done simultaneously
By simultaneously . . . . we learn to do things at a step, with patience but leads to bigger things ahead
By looking ahead, we pray and vibrate all the positive attitudes to envision a dream come true
Again . . . it only needs two . . . not one . . . or even in three's, four's nor fives
Its what God has made things in pairs, so that they go in perfect harmony . . . complementing each other.
Nothing is made perfect . . . therefore . . . it is only in pairs that almost most things work in the universe
It is only by two's . . . that human beings can achieve their compassion
compassion that takes it time to shape and wait for the perfect time to make the two's meet and join
and once a journey of two's has commenced . . . it is a long everlasting voyage that will be full of surprises ^_^

Move or Stay?
Hehehe....again....a series of writing with the related topic. IF before it’s more on in or out, now...it pretty similar, whether to move jobs or stay...Though it might seem to early for me to ask such kind of questions, I believe I might have to ask this question sometime in the future sooner or later.
As far as i’ve known and taught since I was a kid, once you work somewhere, it’s most likely People tend to be more mobile on the jobs they do, move in and our of corporations for all sorts of reason.
As a freshmen, I think as for starters, its more due to the need of ataining self fulfillment. While other aspects might play in such as better salary and more more experience gaining, it all has the same root which is to fulfill ourself one way or another.
Asides in my office, I’ve also seen my friends do the same thing. Most of the time, it’s more on the money which they see as insufficient. Can’t blame people for thinking so as they might have different needs. But for me closely, it might also be due to the lack of fulfillment in non materialistic terms in office.
Be it it job mismatch, unhealthy relationships with co workers, cranky boss, slow promotion or short career levels....these are most of the causes that leads us to get ourselves out of one corporation. In relation to the above cause, I see this in a view that a job is like finding a wive, that could constantly make you at home till the time comes.
And to be honest, the voyage to find such kind of job in a corporation is somehow more of a link and match journey. It might be quick for some, but could end up as a hopping of jobs to jobs. The self contentment of a person is something really relative and not easy to see through.
For myself, I always try to be content on things I receive for I believe there’s always something more for me. But really who knows, life expectations and future development might cause me to question myself, is all this enough and is it the time to take on new things?
Only heaven knows . . . . .

Work in or out?
This ain’t about working out in the gym or in at our house. It’s more literally, as in would we work in our offices, as an employee, or do our own jobs, as in making one and be the employer of other people. A question in which I believe most of us would be asking to yourselves in at least a point in our lives.
I’ve done it myself once before, ad it still keeps lingering in my head as to whether I would be an employer of someone else in the future. Though it might sound an easy question, in reality it takes a lot of consideration to have the guts and embark on this journey. Though you do have the guts, all other things fall in to you and constantly challenges yourself.
The first time I asked this was around my bachelor days. It looked liked one hell of an awesome idea. Had some friends and mates asking me to join them in all sorts of ventures, from the simplest to the bizarre. However, it just never really hooked up to my mind. In the end, I merely just ended up collecting the ideas and experiences from others on what does it really take to be an entrepreneur.
As my days past, I really became more and more anxious on this thing. But i also realized somewhere along the days that this things really takes a lot of things to put at stake. Not only the mind, but money and out time would be put to test. I verified this with various books I’ve read along the way it sure did sound challenging.
The will, the money, the planning, the time and most of all . . . the mentality to put our lives in uncertainty stemming from the unclear nature of doing our own job. It really is something that you cannot do unless you have been exposed properly to the aspects in your life. The mentality to embrace uncertainty, befriend it, and feel constantly challenged with what can be done to overocome such obstacles.
With such aspects, I wouldn’t be surprise of only a handful of people really do end up succesful and both enjoying it at the same time. While i might see some people being successful, but doing both is one thing that I’ve seldom seen. For me, though the skills to be a entepreneur can be studied, it’s more about the proper exposure to the condition and the grown mentality from the early ages that differentiates these people.
But for some people, it’s not bout all those above mentioned things that really matters, its more on the force majeur in their lives that makes them like this. And honestly to say, it really does somehow work out as I’ve also seen loads of people succeeding due to this condition. But then I see the same thing, it’s more on the proper steps to make themselves prepared and exposed to.
Hence forth, I do envy these people, as i find them constantly on the voyage of finding and doing something new in their everyday lives. I to hope one day I have the sufficient preparation to embark on such journey. I don’t want to end up being a salaryman for the rest of my life. There’s gotta be something more in my life surely ;-)

Jiwa lahir tiap detik...berbuih karena tak de kualiti
Roman budaya nan melimpah, sayang terurus tanpa aksi
Terima . . . malas!
