Teaching Wisdom

Lately gue menganalisa hidup gue dan berpikir, mungkin impian-impian gue ga akan semuanya terwujud. Hal ini ditandai dengan suatu hal simple, I’m getting old. Umur gue nambah tanpa bener-bener gue sadari, I mean, I feel like I’m 24 all the time 😛 hehe Dan melihat temen-temen, sodara-sodara, orang-orang yang benar-benar berumur 22-25 tapi sudah banyak achievement, gue jadi mikir, mungkin masa nya gue udah lewat. I should have grown as I’m supposed to be, as a 27 years old should be. Untuk gue meraih apa yang gue cita-citakan, harusnya sudah gue lakukan dari saat gue berumur 22 tahun. Jadi saat gue berumur 27 tahun, gue sudah puas dengan dunia dan bisa beralih ke hal-hal yang lebih noble dan dewasa. Tapi sekarang gak gitu, gue merasa seperti late bloomers, masih rakus sama dunia, masih punya banyak keinginan, masih pengen kemana-mana. And yet, everywhere I see, friends are getting married, having a baby, a second baby or other things that involved settling down.

If you killed the man

“Who killed Abraham Lincoln?” the teacher asked her Year Seven students. Everyone but John raised a hand to answer.

“Do you know, John?” she asked.

“Dammit, I don’t know and I don’t care!” the boy yelled, arms crossed. “Stop asking me stupid questions.”

Upset, the teacher kept John after class and called his father for a conference.

“What’s the problem?” John’s dad asked when he arrived.

“Why is my son in detention?”

“I asked John who killed Abe Lincoln and he cursed and said he didn’t know and didn’t care, and told me to stop asking him questions,” she said.

Furious with his son, the man grabbed John by the collar. “What’s your problem, son?” he shouted. “If you killed the man, just say so.”

Hahaha Couldn’t stop laughing 😀 Read more @ Joke Section, RD Asia.

Friends in need

I’m not the kind of person who loves to post personal message on my blog. But this one is just too sweet to ignore. I found this old conversation on my email. I love you, my dearest friends 🙂

Subject: In need of a moral support

Jadi yah semalem tuh mulai orientasi mahasiswa. Dan gue tuh jadi ilfil. I mean, gue kan ikut test ini udah 1 thn yg lalu. Dan skrg tiba2, 1 thn berikutnya, baru mulai aja gitu kuliahnya. Entah gimana, semangat gue udah surut ajah. Trus kok ngeri banget kayaknya kuliahnya 😛 ketat bin susah 😀 hahahaha gue tau sih harusnya gue ga berpikir begini, kalau kita berpikir negative duluan, pasti hasilnya ga maximal kan yah… But I was just wondering, what have I got myself into 😛 ahkahkahkhaka

Kayaknya gue butuh moral support. Girls, please remind me again, why should I take this master degree 😀 ahkahkahkahka

Best Regards,

Waiting for my Wondershoe to come

Yes indeed! 😀 *tertawa senang* Setelah minggu kemaren browsing-browsing dan tergoda banget dengan flast di wondershoe, akhirnya gue memesan sepatu berwarna hitam dengan pita putih.

So classic yet soooo cuteee… I love it 😀 Kepikirannya sih kemarin karena warnanya hitam, jadi netral dipake buat baju apa aja, jeans, shorts, skirts maupun leggings. And another flats that I’d like to have is:

Tapi karena baru pertama kali pesan dan belum tau mengenai kualitas, cocok atau gak, dll, karena itu gue pesen satu dulu, yang hitam ituu… Sayangnya harus menunggu dua minggu ini sampai sepatu lucu ini sampai ke pelukanku 😀 Dua minggu tuh ternyata lama yaaaaaaaaaa… Anyway, I’ll share the picture of me wearing this cutie shoes later 😉 Happy drooling over the cute shoes 😀

Ternyata sudah setahun!

Yaps, ternyata udah setahun gue kerja di tempat gue sekarang. Tepatnya tanggal 15 April kemarin, gue resmi ber-“ulang tahun” disini 😛 hehhe gila ya ga berasa banget, 1 tahun tuh ternyata cepet. Artinya, udah setahun juga gue pulang ke Jakarta. Tanggal 5 April tahun lalu, gue resmi kembali ke Jakarta. Time really flies.

Kalau mau bernostalgia akan perubahan hidup gue selama 2 tahun ini, kayaknya banyak banget, berfluktuasi banget hidup gue. Padahal gue selalu men-cap diri gue sebagai orang yang lebih suka tahu sesuatu in advance daripada hidup seperti roller coaster 😛 hehee anyway, gue coba list down beberapa hal yang gue sukai dari hidup gue yang dulu dan yang sekarang. Supaya gue selalu inget, supaya gue selalu bersyukur, supaya gue ada target untuk ke depannya.

I Vote, So?

iVote

iVote

In an attempt to be a good citizen, I voted. Whilst others choose to stay “Golput”, I had a strong believe that we must vote. Because it’s our rights. Because at least we did something to make changes, however little that might be. So today, I woke up in great spirit, until my parents, whom have gone to TPS earlier, came back with a bad news. They weren’t registered to vote. It’s not as if they weren’t eligible, it’s just somehow their names aren’t there. Including my sister’s and hundreds of my neighbors. I think the world has gone mad. In a time when people try to do something right, things had gone the opposite. Great 😀

I still went to the TPS though. My mind and heart were battling quite hard to decide which party I should choose. The one that I trusted has betrayed me. Was it really their fault? I don’t know. Due to the lack of knowledge I have, I think me and most of the people blame the government for loosing their rights to vote. So I went there and I voted, wasn’t the one I set my heart before. But other party.

Sosialisasi Pemilu 2009

Informasi yang gue dapat berdasarkan sosialisasi Pemilu 2009 di kantor gue. Dimana informasi tersebut didapat dari KPU.

1. Memilih dengan MENCONTRENG, namun kalau tidak sengaja MENCOBLOS, suara anda tetap dianggap VALID.

2. Kalau BINGUNG MEMILIH CALEG, Contreng PARTAI SAJA juga dianggap VALID.

3. Kalau BELUM mendapat SURAT PEMILIH, bawa saja IDENTITAS DIRI seperti KTP/SIM/Passport.

4. Contreng bisa dilakukan di SEBELAH KANAN NOMER PARTAI atau di SEBELAH KANAN LAMBANG PARTAI. Anything will do.

5. Contreng CALEG bisa dilakukan di SEBELAH KANAN NOMER CALEG atau di SEBELAH KANAN NAMA CALEG. Anything will do.

6. Pastikan hanya memilih SATU CALEG apabila anda memilih Caleg.

7. Jangan menuliskan hal-hal lain selain CONTRENG/COBLOS di kertas suara, karena akan menjadikan surat suara anda TIDAK VALID.

8. Apabila anda melakukan kesalahan, kertas suara boleh ditukar. Tapi berhati-hatilah, karena setiap TPS hanya menyediakan cadangan sebanyak 6 surat suara. Apabila terlalu banyak orang yang melakukan kesalahan, bukan tidak mungkin anda mengambil hak suara orang lain 🙂

Demikian informasinya. Mudah-mudahan berguna 🙂

Selamat memilih 🙂
