Hi. Korea. And Dreams.

Oh Hi.

Long time no see and I just found out and remember this blog's password.

For short, since my last post (2011, during thesis) time flies. I graduated. I got my first job, well my current job, around 3 months after I graduated. And I've never moved out. Just yet. You know, people change, right.

I deeply drowned in Korean thingy. You know, K-pop, culture, languages, stuffs, etc, which realllllllyyyy interesting. I can safely say I LOVEEEE KOREA.

I watched concerts. I saw those lovely idols. Then as normal fans, dream about them. Things like that.

It's middle of 2014 now. It's been a hard year for me already.
I got infected by virus TWICE (it's not even 3/4 of 2014 yet). Which always make me think, "Why me?" then there's always whispers "Why not you?".
I saw my dreams comes true.
I also my dreams fly away.
Live.

But once said "Once you know your dream failed, there's always these solution. Have another dream."

Well said and will do. :)

My Lovely Thesis

Oh, sweet. My last posted was about internship.
Just realized that internship was about a half year ago.
Time flies.
And now, I'm deal with my skripsi (or proposal or thesis)

I heard that skripsi will be hard, or something. But now, after 3 weeks doing this (since the proposal get accepted), this isn't bad, THIS IS FREAKING HARD. I'm just saying.
But, however hard this is, I know I would do good.

I saw most of my friends through this depressed times surrounded by family, and all people who really care about them.
Me? I am struggling alone. My family is far away from me.
Most of my friends have anyone who taking care of their stuff while their home.
Me? Doing everything by myself.
They go out with family on the weekend.
Me? Sleep all day long, because don't have anything to do.
They could talk to parents or siblings when they depressed and even mocking them just to release the stressful.
Me? Who the hell care? I have to cheer up my self.

Ok, maybe not all of them, some of them are also fighting as I am.
I never wanted to complaining, but yea so sorry.

Anyway, I will prove to no one but myself that I can through this tough moment. If I can do this, I win! Then, let's see. :)

I wish I could done the first part outline and those all revision by the end of April, so I could go tho the next part on May, and then if everything good, I will finished it on June. The time is tentative, but I hope I could. Or even faster than that. :)

And I know, as what happened at my internship report, at the end of this thesis, I will smiling and realizing that this isn't that bad. And I'm gonna love this thesis :) :) :)

Internship. Checked.

Let's talk about my INTERNSHIP.

All internship thing finally DONE right after 3 months I ended the internship itself. Feels like someone took away a ton stone over my shoulders. I am officially relieved about this "first depression thing" I talked about a year ago. And yeah, things are getting harder if we think about it, but it'll much more easier if we start to do it. Now, I believe it. Don't know tomorrow. HA! :)

Actually, I'm a bit sad when I know I'm no longer need to go to the office. No, happy yeah (if I think about one old guy who was so ribet and kind of crazy. no offense), but sad because beside that old guy things, I like the office. Really like.

I remember when I have to wake up every 6 in the morning so I could go to the office without being on traffic (but I always late and always trapped in a full bus and crazy traffic).
When I wait for the lift, then came to the room, open the room with my ID Card (sometimes when I went to the toilet, left the ID card on the table and trapped outside the room, so I have to wait till another employee came and open the door, sometimes, again not every time haha).
Then filling the absence book. (sometimes become red, if I late)
When I sometimes came too early, I went to the supermarket just so I had something to do. Buying food, milk, waffles, candy, etc. (no wonder I gained weight after).

Remember when my supervisor worked outside the room and didn't come before lunch, so there was nothing I should do. And usually, I pretended to do a lot of things, but sst, don't tell anyone seriously, I did nothing. Just day dreaming or learning Spanish on my laptop, or sometime Arabic. Or tweeting on my BB.
When I drink, toilet, and drink, and toilet again, so that (again) I have something to do. (seriously, at first I thought I was the only internship-er who felt like this, always wondering what to do next. I asked my friends, they always did too. Haha. High Five).

Remember when I saw the clock, it was like 11.45 or 11.55, and wondering why clock don't have any "fast forward" button. Then 12.00, and I heard an tiny alarm (on absence machine, the beep every 08.00 and 12.00 and 17.00) I stand up and tell my friends to take a lunch. And we make sure we get back to the room 1pm, not earlier.
Then again do nothing by 1pm to 5pm. Actually, I wasn't always doing nothing. Sometimes, my supervisor gave me a little work. Thanks God I had the best and kind supervisor, not the old man I told before. But mostly, he gave me easy tasks to do. I could do it in minutes. :p
Then, 3pm was usually sleepy time. I sometimes made coffee for keeping my eye open. At least till 5pm.
Remember when 5 pm and the signing beep on the absence machine sounds like a school bell ringing to me. (actually I packed my stuff to go home before so 5pm, I stand and go. haha). And the crazy traffic (always) was waiting.

Arrived home, I couldn't do anything. Showered, then sleep. Then another morning comes. Another day begun.
Intense, but why did I found that it sometimes interesting.

And although they have an employee who acted like a monster, I 'd really like if I could do my thesis there.

And now, "the next depressing thing" has just begun. :)

Inspirative Story

Christopher L Jr - Dari Tukang Ledeng menjadi GM Customer Satisfaction dan Public Relation

Pernahkah anda mendengar nama Christopher L। Jr? Sekelumit cerita tentang dirinya yang menurut saya layak untuk dibagikan kepada anda sebagai sumber motivasi dalam melakukan pekerjaan-pekerjaan / tugas-tugas anda baik di kantor, di luar kantor, dan sebagainya.

Christopher L. Jr. adalah seorang tukang ledeng. Suatu hari bos Mercedez Benz mempunyai masalah dengan kran air di rumahnya. Kran itu selalu bocor hingga dia khawatir anaknya terpeleset jatuh.

Atas rekomendasi seorang temannya, Mr. Benz menelepon seorang tukang ledeng untuk memperbaiki kran miliknya. Perjanjian perbaikan ditentukan 2 hari kemudian karena si tukang ledeng rupanya cukup sibuk. Si tukang ledeng sama sekali tidak tahu bahwa si penelpon adalah boss pemilik perusahaan mobil terbesar di Jerman.

Satu hari setelah ditelepon Mr. Benz, si tukang ledeng menghubungi Mr. Benz untuk menyampaikan terima kasih karena sudah bersedia menunggu satu hari lagi. Boss Mercy-pun kagum atas pelayanan dan cara berbicara si tukang ledeng.

Pada hari yang telah disepakati, si tukang ledeng datang ke rumah Mr. Benz untuk memperbaiki kran yang bocor. Setelah memperbaiki kran tersebut, si tukang ledeng ini menerima pembayaran atas jasanya dan pulang ke rumahnya.

Sekitar 2 minggu setelah hari itu, si tukang ledeng menghubungi Mr. Benz lagi untuk menanyakan apakah kran yang diperbaiki sudah benar-benar beres atau masih timbul masalah. Apakah reaksi Mr. Benz? Mr. Benz berpikir pasti orang ini orang hebat walaupun hanya seorang tukang ledeng saja. Mr. Benz menjawab di telepon bahwa kran di rumahnya sudah benar-benar beres dan mengucapkan terima kasih atas pelayanan si tukang ledeng tersebut.

Tahukah anda, bahwa beberapa bulan kemudian Mr. Benz merekrut si tukang ledeng ini untuk bekerja di perusahaannya? Si Tukang Ledeng yang bernama Christopher L. Jr. saat ini Beliau menjabat sebagai General Manager Customer Satisfaction and Public Relation di Mercedez Benz!

We won, eventhough we are not the winner :)

Rabu, 29 Desember 2010.
Nggak tau gimana caranya, akhirnya Nikita berhasil dapet tiket buat kita nonton Final AFF Cup 2010 Indonesia vs Malaysia. Dengan harga yang lumayan normal. :p Yang pasti yang aku tau, malem sebelum hari final, aku dan adek aku, devi dikasi tiket itu.
Jeng jeng jeng. Kita berangkat ke Senayan City sebelum jam 3, baru jalan ke GBK jam 5 kurang, dan nyampe kira-kira pas jam 5.

Tadaaa.... Here is the story yang buat aku bakal mikir ribuan kali buat nonton pertandingan sejenis nantinya. I meant, nontonnya sih enak, CROWDEDnya boookk!!!

Aku bertiga naik ke tribun atas lewat pintu 8 dan itu sangat amat penuh. Tapi kayanya semua pintu juga penuh sih. Sejam lebih berusaha masuk, -aku nggak akan cerita gimana prosesnya plus desak-desakan plus dorong-dorongan semuanya karena mikir dan ngingat itu aja bikin stress sampe sekarang. Pokoknya intinya keadaan sangat nggak manusiawi-, akhirnya kita bisa masuk ke dalam, which was tempat yang udah agak legaan karena emang udah lewatin 1 pintu masuk dan belom ke arah pintu masuk ke tribunnya (oh iya, kita nungguin abang aku onay yang nyusulin abis pulang kerja) .

Karena kita disuruh masuk duluan sama si abang, akhirnya kita nyoba nyari tempat. Gila!!! Chaos kedua! Pintu pertama, PENUH, -lagi lagi aku males inget2 yang terjadi di tahap ini karena sangat nggak manusiawi dan sangat nggak perempuani (kita bertiga cewek) bahkan ingetnya aja bikin stress jungkir balik goyang dombret-, liat orang-orang lari ke pintu selanjutnya, kita ikutan lari karena katanya itu tempat tadinya sengaja dikosongin dan baru boleh diisi setelah Pak Presiden duduk, dan setelah ngantri panjang dan desek2an, itu pintu PENUH juga. :(

Dan kita lanjut ke pintu lain. Hmm aku nggak ngitung kita nyoba berapa pintu, yang pasti semua pintu yang kita coba sangat nggak manusiawi. Sampai akhirnya di pintu terakhir yang karena ditambah capek dari pintu-pintu sebelumnya, KITA NYERAH. Seandainya tadi aku lagi "dapet", atau belom makan, atau lagi agak pusing, mungkin aku udah pingsan di pintu pertama, atau bahkan udah mati di tempat. Oke berlebihan. Haha.

TIba-tiba abang aku came from nowhere, dan dia bilang, "coba masuk yok" ohhh COME ON..
balabalabalabala, <---- itu artinya bolak balik kiri kanan dengan hasil yang sama, akhirnya kita bener bener nyerah. ENOUGH.

Dan denger-denger orang teriak2 di luar (pertandingan baru mulai), setelah diliat Thank's God, ada Giant Screen di luar stadion. Akhirnya dengan jongkok-jongkok kita nonton di tangga (anggep aja di VIP, hehe). Yang penting dibabak kedua kita dapet spot yang lebih manusiawi dan sedikit lebih nyaman daripada sebelumnya yang harus latihan balet dulu biar bisa bengkok-bengkokin badan. Haha.

Di beberapa menit babak kedua Indonesia kebobolan 1 gol dari Malaysia, dan itu malah bikin banyak banget penonton mulai beranjak pulang. Ada 3 kemungkinan, satu mereka udah terlanjur kecewa dan yakin Indonesia pasti kalah (ps: Indonesia harus menang 4-0 atau 5-1 biar bisa juara), dua mereka ga tega liat timnas dan penonton lain sedih di endingnya, dan yang terakhir mereka takut rusuh kalo timnas kalah. Haha.

Pokonya yang pasti, setelah gol itu, dan pertandingan jadi agak alot, banyak penonton yang mulai kabur, padahal gak lama setelah itu Timnas malah ngegolin 2. Good Job. 2-1. We won. Walaupun kita bukan juaranya saat ini.

Eit eit eit, karena Indonesia nggak juara, penonton langsung cabs pulang, dan KITA MASUK. :D Kita yang penting liat beberapa menit terakhir plus ceremony penyerahan medali dan piala. :)


Kita nungguin sampe ceremony selesai sambil took some pics. :)

Dan kita pulang kekosan dengan JALAN KAKI dari stadion sampe pasar palmerah, walaupun jadi nggak berasa karena jalan sambil ngobrol, dan kita bukan satu-satunya disana, beratus-ratus orang!

We finally home after about 8 crazy hours.
Congratulations Indonesia, we won.
Congratulations Malaysia for the cup you got.
Thanks Riedl for the change you made for our team.
I love my country Indonesia. :)

Aku amazed sama gimana sepakbola bikin Indonesia jadi kompak, tua muda, kaya miskin, presiden sampe pemulung, semua "merah".

"Sangat ajaib bagaimana sepakbola menyatukan kita, dimana ketawa seorang presiden sama bahagianya dengan ketawa seorang tukang becak saat melihat Indonesia menang. Dan sedih seorang presiden sama besarnya dengan sedih seorang tukang bakso saat menyaksikan tim Indonesia kalah."

Garuda di Dadaku :)
Thanks to my sister, my brother and Nikita for "hari digencet sedunia" :)

ps : next time kalo mau nntn lagi, liat situasi dulu. :)

copycat alert

duuh.. just because you have much money, doesn't mean that you could buy anyone's life. grrr.. i hate this "money conversation". so let's skip it.

i knew a quote from... i don't know.. :) it says "Don't do anything that you're not good at." but i know someone who always want to do what ever everyone like to do. got it?

When you do something that you like, and you good at, you will do it cause it makes you happy. Then this one i talking about do it like you did (copy everything that you did, even he/she doesn't know exactly what to do) , just to make everyone around that she/he could do everything.

another example, when you have something, which looks good, and your friends say it's cool, this person i talking about will buy the same thing to make everyone know that she/he is way COOLER. but it's really really NOT..!! LABIL! haha

Don't do whatever everyone do to make everyone thinks that you're COOL. It's just gonna make everyone thinks that you are FOOL. Just do whatever you wanna do. Do what you like to do. Unless you want to get "COPYCAT" in the middle of your name. No offense please. I just saying.

looks like i'm losing control of what i was say. haha. no offense please, seriously. the one that i was talking about isn't really exist, but exist. hahahaa..

I HATE DENTIST

grr... Why I always scared to visit the dentist? Ok, the question should be.. Who doesn't hate dentist? haha. Dentist is super duper zuper scary.. Seriously, I'm gonna choose 'not eat a day' over 'dentist'. buuuttt.. Since I'm wearing braces, I should stick it out with a guy called 'dentist'. grrrrrrrrrrr..

He got needles, medicines, blue laser-things, and everything which look sooooo sharp..!! It make everyone's trembling. At least, it made me always trembling. and the only thing i like in dentist is just the have very colorful rubbers, you know the rubber for the braces, haha.. It's the only thing that looks normal.
Periodically, I visit dentist since a year ago. and since that I really really hope that it would come to an end AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, you know, visit the dentist-stuff. Oh poor me.
My dentist, actually, is not the worst. But he got another dentist's habits. You know, like let your patient's mouth open like more than hours. It's not a good habit, dentist..

And you know the non-sense thing about being in dentist is.. When your dentist keep talking to you when your mouth is open widely. it was like horrible. He keep working in your mouth while you should answer his question.
Last day I visited my dentist, he did that..! crap! and I was like

me : (mouth open) ga, ha ang-ha ang aya. agina eya.. (kadang-kadang aja. tadinya iya)

and heck yeah your spit is going everywhere. And it's so not cool. period.

See? Hey all the dentist in the world, you ain't got no answer if you keep doing a conversation like that. Just saying.

oh yeah, I just remember something. I'm gonna visit my dentist early this month. NEXT WEEK! Can you imagine that? oh nooooooooooooo.. Bless me, God...

hard being a good person

I went to my campus this morning instead sleep all day long in my room (as I always did every Friday because I don't have any class to be attended for Friday). And somehow I feel it's all worth it, changed my nap time with something that might be important in my future..
I learned so much in 2 seminars today. It were Public Speaking seminar, and Radio coaching clinic-or something like that-seminar. :)

One of the source said that "You COMPLAIN about everything in your life, It's just make you feel something in negative way. Control your self. Think about the other side and the circumstances could be different and make it positive."
Yeah, I just realize how much I always complain about every single thing in my life. Why'd I always complain when I know that it won't change anything if I just complain with-OUT doing something. it's just kinda wasted energy, wasn't it?
So, here what i try to do next is ... When I about to complaining something, I'm gonna try to forget it. can I? haha. It's kinda impossible. I think human is natural for complaining. No offense. I'm a human too.

Another quote that I remember is "When you are about talking with somebody that you don't like, be neutral. It's all in your mind. You have to take control of your mind. Think positive. Positive. Positive." And me? When I hate on somebody I would really rude. Silly me. I was wrong. i know.. my bad. bad Sandra.

ouch, seems like so hard being a good person. hahahaha..

S.A.N.D.R.A

where is my life?

i just realized. where have i been?

sometimes i feel like i've never had a life LIFE. what exactly happen? why i couldn't figure it out until now?

you know, i'm in my way, then there is a wall in front of me, instead break it by my self, i just take a rest until someone break it for me.

i wonder how the way to START IT..!!!!

S.A.N.D.R.A

stop being like a jerk.

i have a short letter to give to anyone who tried to bother my life.

"My deepest condolence for the death of your heart, bi**h. I've never hope anything but you get your own life. Oh yeah, I know you don't even have a life so you tried to have one by ruin mine. You was WRONG!! Totally wrong! You don't even know what family means. Family means LIFE for me. And NO ONE can ruin my life."

"You want my advice, bi**h? Just figure out what made your heart died. I don't think you could have your heart back (because it was totally useless even if it still exist) so maybe you could just stay there and look around. Try to find what's make another person alive, and you not (i wish you have enough brain to think about it, but if you're not then.. I don't know.. You still remember how to pray to God, don't you?"

oh.. That's all my short letter. Maybe looks like short here, but in my mind, there are more than a book if I write it down.

Sorry for this uncomfortable. I don't mean rude to anybody but this person. She deserves more than this rudeness.

The Twilight Saga : New Moon

The Twilight Saga : New Moon

oh, i found new moon review from a site. i don't know why, i thought the one who made this review has a very inteligent, smart, and blah blah blah brain, because he made it with very hard words. ahaha. i don't know what i just said..

HERE IS A PART OF THE REVIEW

The driving force behind the TWILIGHT movies is Stewart’s layered and deeply felt performance as Bella. She acts circles around her on screen love Pattinson – and conveys emotions expertly with a simple look or gesture. She’s teen angst personified. The script by Melissa Rosenberg, gives her the occasional great one-liner and some meat to play with. Unfortunately, if you know where the story is going (I looked it up), it’s leading to a wholly unsatisfying conclusion that’s paid off in a ridiculously crapped out fourth installment.

Since there’s a huge debate going on between Team Edward and Team Jacob, I would have to say I firmly fall in the Team Jacob category – since with Jacob, Bella could at least have the semblance of a normal life. And Jacob has always been there willingly and unwillingly there to protect her. Edward, as much as he claims he loves her and doesn’t want to eat her, clearly wants to suck the blood right out of every orifice of her. And even if she became a vamp to be able to live immortally with him – what happens when that love fades? Then she’s stuck with Edward – FOREVER! With Jacob, if things go wrong, she could always take him to the pound.

Kids, and their unrealistic ideology about romance and true love.

Thankfully, director Weitz brings a nice glossy sheen to everything. He’s a filmmaker through and through, and makes the best of the ridiculous story he’s saddled with. He understands how to make awkward, silly moments, actually feel meaningful. And unlike Hardwicke in the previous installment, he knows how to direct action. So when the time comes to wake people from the overly long two hour and ten minute running time, he does so with gusto and flair.

Of course, most people are going just for the romance and simplicity of it all and you get what you ask for. There’s numerous shots of Lautner and Pattinson without their shirts on (prepare for the shrieks of glee from teenage girls during those moments) and some unconvincing werewolf CGI for horror fans who will pissed more money wasn’t spent to get not only the perspective right on these beasts, but to actually make them look cool.

Still, there is one element I really liked throughout the movie – Bella’s relationship with her father Charlie (Billy Burke). Here’s a relationship that I buy, and one that I haven’t seen explored in quite this way on screen. It’s layered and real, plus Burke gives a slam-bang performance as the frustrated dad trying desperately to communicate with his whack-a-doodle daughter. It’s great stuff and proves to be some of the better parts and emotional high points of the entire film.

None of what I’m saying though really matters. The fans are going to see the movie regardless. It’s going to a huge hit. And people are going to rip this review to shreds. Let the vicious comments start piling up below.

But for those people not in the film’s demographic curious about what all the hubbub is about, NEW MOON is probably not for you. As a movie, it’s too slow, too self-aware and incredibly frustrating in its laborious storytelling. Sure, it’s a hair better than TWILIGHT, but honestly, some moles have hair, and it doesn’t make them any more appealing. (By CARL CORTEZ)

win win win

how lucky i am. LOL..

i got Twilight ticket free last year, and i also got New Moon ticket today.. i don't know why.haha.. let it be my becoming bday presents.. hoho i have a lucky. can't believe it. i have a lucky.. =) when you got tickets "nonton bareng" movie.. it doesn't mean you just come, watch the movie, and back home. you'll got "something". usually it'll be woman cute stuff if you got the tickets from women mags. i said it "something" maybe because you don't know it till you get it. kinda surprise or sumthin like that and...i love surprise.. haha..

i got 2 perfumes, magazine, free magazine subscriptions, donuts, and another cute women stuff from twilight free ticket.. and today i got facial wash, and a packages of very very very cute make-up line..nail polish, blush on, lip gloss, powder..haha.. how cute they are..

at least i got something on my birthday..

speaking about new moon.. everyone has their own opinion. but in my opinion, it was not that bad, but you can't say it perfect. they made it depends on the book,change it to be an audiovisual version. that means director made it shorter so that everyone enjoy it. but, why somebody thought it was uncomplete? i just wondering how everyone wants to get a complete version from the novel to be a movie. do you want to be in theater all day long?

ok next, overall i got the point of the movie, i got the part that they stresses about. they made a great animation of werewolf and their apa itu namanya mmmm...transformation or..whatever.. maybe, something lame was how they act. they were rather awkward. IMHO.. i didn't blame the actors. i blame no one.. because i'm cool (loh loh loh). hahaha..
oh God, i can't make a good review. so sowwy.. it was so subjective.
sorry for the stupido review, sorry for the stupido english skill..

Last Lecture of Randy Pausch

"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted"

"Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day because there's no other way to play it."

"No one is pure evil. Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you."

"Brick walls are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop people who don't want it badly enough."

"It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

, - Randy Pausch.

can't wait to find his book in a bookstore and get inspired. oh no, i have 3 books and i don't read it till the end yet.haha. finish The Host first, then eat my Eat, Pray, Love and my Jonas book. but, i'm not sure i can wait to buy this inspired book.

any way, i knows it's too late, but rest in peace Randy Pausch, you shared your life to us. you've gone, but you know that you left your spirit here, even i don't read your book yet (someday, i will). but i watched your "last lecture".

here is the "Last Lecture"

and here is him

agak berlebihan memang, tapi yeah, sometimes we need someone's experience to know that we're not the one who have a dream, everyone has dreams too. and through someone's experience let us know that we could do everything till the end of our live to get that dreams, how big or small the dream.
