Zai na li gong zhuo?!?

Gak kerasa ini udah semester terakhir aku kuliah di singapura. 4 business subject lagi yang kudu diselesaiin dalam 4 bulan kedepan. this sort time ini aku lagi berpikir keras.. err ga keras keras amat sih, untuk nentuin which choices should i take : stay in singapore to work or for good to Indonesia to start my own company..

Just Simple analysis about both countries (Sgp and Indo)

Singapore :

• chance to work : not really good this year or maybe some more... denger punya berita, government lagi cut down the number of foreigner, and give more opportunities buat local people disana.
• saving and income : oke, standard s2 2500-3000, and rata2 spending 1000-1500. so, kita bisa save 1500S$ kurang lebih , and kalo dirupiahin sekitar 12jt-an *wow*
• such a boowring country : hey... jgn bilang : kan ada USS, orchard, marina bay, dll...  gw udah bosan seujujurnya kesana.  sisi positif negeri ini aman,teratur,rapi,dispilin. but, you feel like you are in jail country. all is noted, just like i said to my friend: "susah disini kalo mau bunuh orang, bingung sembunyiin mayatnya dimana." , err.. gak bisa kencing di got.. susah loo.. atau maklum aku orang ndesa kali ya..
• chance to start company : oke it is easy as long as you have a bunch of money, that itu gak masuk akal buat gw yang fresh graduate ini tentunya

Indo :

• chance to work : besar sekaliii... mau jakarta?sby? luar pulau sekalipun, dimana mana bisa.. 
• saving and income : hahaha, ini masalahnya.. anggep gaji 5jt, spend 3jt.. save 2jt ( 1/6 kali gaji singapore).. cuman kadang gw masih percaya ada perusahaan di jakarta mau gaji 10-15jt buat s2, so anggep spend 2jt ( oitt,, akomodasi nya? ,, beruntung banget gw ada ortu di jakarta) so, bisa save sekitar 8-10jt misalnya... kalo cuman beda 11-12 ama singapore, why not jakarta?
• bowring? gak juga, i have friends, bali, family.. the cost to pleasure is cheaper loh kalo bandingin sgp
• chance to start company : IT IS BIG, BIGGER THAN THIS WORDS....

pemikiran gw sampe skrng sih, indo is better daripada singapore. ntah gw benci banget singapore atau gimana ya..

Celebrating CNY

Landlord ask: "Where is Matthew Sugiarto?"
Me : "oow, go back indo.. err. i also go back next week"
Landlord ask again: "celebrate chinese new year meh?"
Me : "no, just school holiday"
Landlord : "so, you dont celebrate CNY, you are indo chinese right, why?"
Me : .....

I cannot answer, because when i am at indo, i can everytime,everyday come to my family ( my mother fams or my father fams) if i want. so, why celebrating those kind of culture?

Kumpul bersama? maybe true. but, not in my culture.

Arti Teman

Teman menurut saya ada beberapa tipe:

1. golongan pertama(sahabat) : teman dekat, yang siap menolong anda dimanapun dan kapanpun
Teman digolongan 1 menurut saya tidak usah banyak2. asal punya satu tujuan dan visi, its oke. bisa diajak kerja bersama dll..

2. golongan kedua : teman yang sebenarnya siap menolong anda dan seperti sahabat, tapi karena batasan waktu dan lokasi, mereka hanya bisa membantu anda bila anda berada di lokasi/wilayah mereka
teman digolongan 2 sebisa mungkin banyak, jadi anda siap dibantu dan membantu diluar kota/wilayah


3. golongan ketiga(teman ya teman) : teman yang anda kenal dari manapun (kuliah,kerja, komunitas)
teman golongan 3 , ya teman2 reunian untuk mengenang masa lalu, nilai positif bila bisa membangun relasi usaha dg mereka

4. golongan keempat dan nyebelin : teman kalo ada butuhnya di komunitas anda, nyariin anda kalo lagi ada butuhnya
teman golongan 4, diambil sisi positifnya saja.

5. golongan terakhir : teman tapi mesra :p (just joke)
teman golongan 5? kasih tau gak ya???? 

Renewing Passport at Indonesian Embassy

Hi guys,

Today i want to share my experience when i renewed my passport in indonesian Embassy. My passport itself will be expiring at May 22rd  2013. Then, i decided to renew it in Indonesia Embassy that is in 7 Chatsworth Road, actually it is near orchard road yet it is hard to reach there by bus, no bus stop right there, all you can do only taking cab.

Arrived there, you should leave your any card  such as EZ Link, discount card, etc except your IC, Pass because it is maybe needed inside. then, you'll get the guest card name-tag and you should wearing it.

After that, the officer will show you where you should go. then, get the green form near the entry door and walk to near locket to get your queue number.. While waiting, you should fill the green form that you get before.

The important things you should not forget, yes your datas, which are :

•  2 Passport Size Photos (I recommend you to bring your 2 passport size photos. it is expensive to take photo inside there. you will be charged 10S$ to get 6 bad quality photos). 
• 1 photocopy passport front side and back side and your passport itself
• 1 photocopy of Kartu Keluarga ( you can ask your family to scan it and send to you)
• 1 photocopy of student pass or any visit pass in Singapore

When your number is shown in the screen above the locket. go to the locket and give all the documents. the officer will check one by one and they will give you bill that you should pay in cashier. it costs S$35 and you only can pay by cash. after that go to the next locket and give the receipt. the officer will ask you to stamp your fingerprint in the green form and your task is finish. they will inform you to come again in following three days work to get your new passport. while you are waiting your new passport, your old passport will be taken by them and you only have your IC that belongs with you.

Flashback to some minutes before go back home. I was waiting the queue and very boring. so i took a look a while my photo in my passport and the new photo that i just took.. here is :(

Thanks God, i will get the new passport with handsome face.. :) ... i don't know who is he in the left photo :). hahaha, it was me in 2007 when i still studied in bachelor degree. and the right one is me now :D

James Cook University vs National University of Singapore

JCU?James Cook University? dimana itu.. errr...
beberapa orang ada yang ndak tau sebenernya kampus apa ini.. >.<

James Cook University atau disingkat JCU adalah private campus di singapura yang merupakan cabang dari JCU Australia.

Mungkin emang ga bisa dibandingin kali dengan kemegahan, kemasyuran, dan ke- ke- yang lain dari NUS kampus nomer 1  yang secara SENGAJA kutolak dengan hormat wkwkwkwk..

this is my story ..

aku ini salah satu orang bodoh ,IP rendahan yang ditolak NTU pertama kali aku daftar.. alasan utama sih karena banyak pesaing yang mau masuk jurusanku(Information System), dan dimana inggrisku juga pas-pas'n.
tapi menurut leadership,leadership yang kupelajari, jangan mudah menyerah, tetap semangat, dan beberapa bab seven habits dan John C Maxwell.. akhirnya aku beraniin diri lagi buat daftar ke kampus yang lebih besar, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE..yapzz.. karena sesuai buku Stephen R Covey juga, aku ga mau jatuh kelubang yang sama, akhirnya aku siapin plan B buat daftar James Cook University juga...

berikut beberapa pemikiranku untuk masuk ke kedua Universities ini :

NUS
-aku daftar Industrial and System Engineering
alasannya sih, aku pingin punya perusahaan dimana aku bisa kontrol system, optimalisasi,dll-nya, sometimes aku ga seneng kerja IT yang cuman bagian support orang. tapi mungkin juga masuk Industri karena ga ada jurusan laen yang aku senengin juga ^^ .

JCU
-my second choices, dan i hope NUS nerima aku.. di JCU ini aku daftar M.IT+M.BA, ya mungkin ini nilai tambah kalo aku ngampus di JCU, keluar2 dapet dua gelar. hehehe...dan kata orang JCU is number one private uni di singapore, atau ya 11 12 ama curtin kali ya.. oh ya.. dan berarti aku harus tetep kerja di dunia per IT-an ..

Dan hari berganti hari.. pertengahan november, AKU DITERIMA NUS.. hehhe.. dan surat penerimaanpun sampai ke rumah.. dibuka dan... ada 1 surat, Conditional Letter yang mengatakan, penerimaanmu akan otomatis dibatalkan bila tidak memberikan hasil IELTS = 6.0 sebelum tgl 1 Des...

ya jelas dengan SENGAJA/SEPENGETAHUANKU KUTOLAK  mentah-mentah tawaran NUS ini..
"gila, lu kira lu sapa ger???"
yapz, aku emang dari awal waktu daftar kasih IELTS under their requirements, dan berharap "dari kata2 orang" diterima,meski IELTS kurang >.< .

Akhir dari Saga ini, aku lanjutin kuliah S-2ku di JCU...aku percaya *mulai berbicara leadership dan ilmu ilmu positif* yang di Atas sudah mengatur kuliahku.. even ndak lebih baik dari NUS, tapi aku mau berusaha yang PALING baik, dan menjadi berkat buat temen2ku ^^

First Time Experience Hanging Out with Friends from Different Countries

Today, 5 November 2011

I want to share about something, that very interesting for me, and i wish my writing skill is not bad at all.

yesterday, after finishing my english class, my friends and me went to dinner and playing pools. firstly, i introduce my friends to you :
Lucy : vietnamese girl, older than me. she sits beside me in class, and smart girl.
kelvin : vietnamese boy, also older than me. smoking guy, smart also good at playing pools.
meriana : same country with me, but from pontianak, the youngest person in my class, also good at english.
elvis : chinesse person, 19 y'o. he likes if han sol calls him "o ba" (south korea language, it's mean brother that older than she)
hansol : south korea nonna.. when meet her, i just think about Secret Garden ( Korean Drama Movie that i've watched it lately)
Bonnie : nu-ren (chinesse woman), her's style likes korean people hahah..
chen hua : chinesse 21 y'o, man. fat but nice person..


afterthat we went to bugis first to eat.. We ate steam bot/shabu shabu.. it was very interesting for me. Why? i 've never eaten with other people that from different country, different culture.. and... Talking with them with english language, very hard. maybe if just said about about inviting to go out, ask some question, or simple and daily conversation ,it is not really difficult, but when we speak about food, the flavour, how to cook them, aaa.. very hard for me.. my vocabulary isn't enough. and when i want to talk, i must open my cellphone to get the right vocab. >.< . very very interesting, priceless time for me.

hmm.. another difficult one is Going to play pools.. can you imagine, how to teach someone in english language?? aaa again.. very hard.. put it into the hole, hold the stick, move your finger,hahahah.. aiaiaia.. but it's more fantastic than what i think..


ok, this is my story about going with my multinational friends, i just want to say..
when we are living in another country, far from our family, our girlfriend, our closed-friends, it's very hard. But you don't need to think about it, just set aside. think about your aim, why you was here, why did you go there..
furthermore..after you live in here.. don't just at home, watching movie, chatting with relation.. But making relationship with another person that you don't know before, another country indeed, it's more fun, get some experience with them, if some friends ask you to join their activity, for sure, join it. Because it will give you more experience that cannot pay buy money, it's priceless friends..

Medical CheckUp today

hari ini 19 oktober 2011..
kebiasaan di surabaya terjadi juga, bangun pagi jam 5, gak ngapa2in, tidur lagi, and alhasil telat bangun jam 8.. pdhl kudu masuk kampus hari ini jam 8.45 .. Ohhh Myy Gooodd... langsung dah mandi, 5 menit go...

hari ini rencanya nyoba jalur MRT baru, coz keliatannya lebih deket and murah.. lorong chuan-marymount MRT and then take 980 bus..
nahh sampe marymount MRT dah jam 8.25an.. lanjut cari bus 980, and what a trouble..... salah ambil tempat pemberhentian bus nya... bener ambil 980 tapi ke arah yang beda... mateng wess.... argghhh... and jam sudah 8.45.. akhirnya aku turun, and cari taxi dah.. ampun ampun, niat ngirit, malah buntung.. taxi habis 8dollaran lagi sekitar 60rb..

sampe dikampus 9.10, hufff.. dan apa yang terjadi.. ternyata briefingnya belom mulai.. fiuhh...
untungnya begitu aku masuk, pembimbingnya juga masuk.. and jelasin hari ini general checkup..bla ...bla.bllla...

ada 2 hal yang kuduu dilakuin, x-ray and blood test.. pertama x-ray, ya cuman buka baju, foto x-ray, beres..
nah terrible selanjutnya waktu blood test..
kondisi sudah lari2 ngeburu waktu, belum makan juga, and dingin..
benernya udah biasa diambil darah waktu sakit dbd dulu, trus ikut donor darah, jadi udah gak ngerasa takut lagi.. and giliranku tiba... >.<

pertama suster A yang nangannin aku,  pertama lengan bicepku yang kekar ini (lueebayyy) diiket.. trus disuruh pencet2 bola merah... habis itu suruh seperti gaya orang lagi angkat dumble.. trus dia mulai cari nadi vena ku .. koq ndak nemu2, trus dia kerasa nemu dikit, langsung ditusuk... darahku ndak keluar >.< , trus dia uleg2 disekitar situ, cari pembuluh darahnya,tapi tetep ndak keluar..err.. akhirnya sisuster ini pindah ketangan satunya.. and apa yang terjadi. tetep gak keluar T__T ...

dari sini aku mulai ketakutan,langsung kayak mau muntah,takut pingsan sungguan (lebay,tapi kenyataan), biasanya di indo sekali tusuk langsung keluar darahnya de.. hmmm.. akhirnya aku dikaish minum teh anget,milo,cracker, and gantian suster B yang nanganin aku..

pertama coba lagi tangan kanan, gak isa.. trus coba di telapak tangan tetep ga isa.. akhrinya dia nyerah, bilang kalo ga bisa dibawah ke lab aja, coz jarumnya disana lebih panjang,jadi gampang njangkaunya.. uasemmmmm......

akhirnya ganti lagi suster C skrng, aku disuruh baring, and memang jadi kerasa agak relax, and ambil dari tangan kananku.. and berhasill.. untunglahhhhh... fiuhhhh.....

ternyata orang JCU udah nungguin aku dari tadi.. jadi begitu aku keluar , semua dah pulang. hahahahah...
