23 May 2010

I'm expecting the final exams on Tuesday and Thursday. I feel like dropping all of them and retake Banking and Finance degree. I can't stand the pressure anymore.

It's 3 p.m. and I still dunno what to do. I have lots of materials to be studied but seems like my brain does not want to cooperate with me. I know I don't have big passion like last year to go through these finals. Just want to blame my father who forced me taking Accounting and James Kwan who developed such negative thought about finals and work life.

enough desperation. I need gastronomia cupcake!

Past Holiday

2010-03-03T22:20:00.005+08:00

January 2010. Cilla and her boyfriend Aek were visiting me. On the other hand, Ai was visiting her french man. They had their semester break. We went to Singapore Zoo and Hooters. At least I remember that I had so much fun that time.

February 2010. It's chinese new year holiday. Well Valentine's day on the same date with CNY. God blessed me so because I had angpao and watched Valentine's day movie in the same day with new bf (yeaa this girl is officially not single anymore)

But just before all of that, I met my best girl Chikita and we went to aTavola, french restaurant in kemang. Very nice and homey indeed. Not so crowded, yet the best place to escape from busy world. The food was also nice and very cheap (I really mean it, cheap for italian food in Jakarta). Thanks to dear Chiki who was bringing me to such a really nice place :)

Just got back from Singapore, I dragged bf, Cilla+Aek to sambarra. Best Sundanese food so far. I was being greedy that day, I had tahu, tempe, perkedel, iga bakar, ayam, dendeng, and red rice, I didn't finish them all because I CAN'T.

And last but not least, I spent last day meeting my besties from high school, glad that Dyah joined us that day, she was also picking me up at home. Thanks dear!

We had padang for lunch and ended up in karaoke to burn fat! Sadly, I couldn't meet Inda due to her busy schedule.

‘Fenomena Facebook’ dan

Isu Pengembangan Diri

"Waspadailah perilaku Facebook Anda! Teknologi untuk manusia bukan manusia untuk teknologi."

Facebook memang fenomenal. Facebook awalnya hanya sebuah situs jejaring sosial terbatas yang diluncurkan untuk siswa dari Harvard College saja. Dimulai pada tanggal 4 Februari 2004 oleh seorang bernama Mark Zuckerberg, mantas lulusan Harvard dan Ardsley High School. Namun, hanya dalam kurun waktu 3 tahun saja, facebook berkembang menjadi situs yang amat populer. Berita di New York Times bahkan mengatakan ada sekitar 175 juta pengguna aktif di situs popler ini, saat ini. Wow! Begitu populernya facebook, bahkan ia dikaitkan dengan kesuksesan personal branding beberapa orang terkemuka, melonjaknya sales beberapa program supermarket seperti Wal-Mart, hingga kesuksesan President Barrack Obama menggalang suara maupun dana, banyak dikaitkan dengan facebook ini.

Di Indonesia, facebook inipun belakangan menjadi amat populer. Mulai dari para pebisnis, ibu rumah tangga, hingga kalangan remaja, facebook seperti sebuah gaya hidup. Bahkan, beberapa rekan saya membeli Blackberry dan IPhone-nya hanya dengan alasan sederhana, bisa mengupdate facebook mereka terus-menerus.

Bahkan, terkait dengan fenomena facebook inipun, saya pun terkadang bingung dengan beberapa teman saya, yang dalam keseharian tergolong orang yang agak anti sosial serta sulit berinteraksi dengan orang lain. Banyak diantaranya, dianggap introvert dan dingin, kalau ketemu orang. Tapi, jangan heran. Bagaimana account facebooknya? Saya pun dibuat kaget olehnya. Di dalam facebooknya, mereka yang tergolong cuek bahkan kurang ekspresif ini dengan begitu mudahnya mengekspresikan diri mereka dalam “wall” maupun “wall-to-wall” dalam facebooknya (ini istilah soal ‘dinding’ dalam facebook dimana kita bisa mengungkapkan apapun yang kita pikirkan). Malahan, jumlah ‘teman’ maya mereka pun tergolong sangat banyak.

Tulisan ini, mencoba mengungkap sisi lain di balik perkembangan facebook dan perkembangan jejaring sosial lainnya, dikaitkan dengan berbagai isu yang perlu dicermati dalam kaitannya dengan pengembangan diri (personal development) . Dari fenomena ini, ada beberapa hal yang menjadi catatan saya.

3 Isu Penting

Pertama, risiko mengekspresikan diri. Dalam training Kecerdasan Emosional baru-baru ini, saya berkisah soal rekan saya dahulu di perusahaan pertama saya yang menggunakan nama samaran, Mr.Nice Guy, dalam setiap kali chatting. Di internet, dia bisa tampak sangat fleksibel, sangat komunikatif dan memberi banyak nasihat. Teman virtual-nya banyak. Tapi, dalam kondisi kerja, orangnya pendiam, tertutup bahkan cenderung sulit berkomunikasi. Akhirnya, si Mr.Nice Guy ini sendiri sempat pernah berkisah bahwa, dirinya lebih suka berhubungan via internet karena risiko interaksinya lebih sedikit. Kalau tidak suka, bisa diblokir kapan saja dan distop interaksinya, dan persoalanpun selesai. Sementara, kalau berhubungan langsung, orang bisa langsung tersinggung bahkan cenderung lebih sulit diprediksi reaksinya, menurutnya. Baginya, kontak interpersonal langsung harus banyak mempertimbangkan persepsi orang. Intinya, interaksi interpersonal secara langsung, mempunyai risiko lebih sulit. Orang lebih sulit diprediksi, lebih sulit diantisipasi rekasinya dan tidak dalam kontrolnya. Itulah komentarnya soal beda interaksi virtual dengan interaksi langsung.

Akhirnya, dalam konseling saya dengannya, tetap saya tekankan bahwa chatting maupun facebook, tetap saja tidak menggantikan interaksi manusia yang sesungguhnya. Walaupun, facebook serta berbagai aplikasi jejaring sosial lainnya memang sangat membantu suatu proses interaksi dan memperluas networking sosial. Namun, latihan dan pendewasaan yang sesungguhnya tidak dapat tergantikan melalui interaksi virtual. Dalam interaksi langsunglah, kadang kita harus belajar bersabar, belajar membaca keadaan orang, menyesuaikan dengan kondisi orang, bahkan kadang harus mengalami ‘pergesekan’ dengan orang. Namun, semuanya amat mendewasakan kita dalam melatih interpersonal maupun kemampuan komunikasi kita.

Kedua, facebook atau berbagai situs jejaring sosial harus dipergunakan secara cerdas untuk membangun self image kita maupun interaksi yang sehat. Celakanya, tatkala content-nya tidak terkendali, justru bisa menyebabkan orang kehilangan muka, kehilangan respek, jadi mengumbar segala sisi gelap bahkan kehilangan ruang privasinya. Di satu sisi, facebook memang menjadi ajang untuk belajar mengekspresikan diri, namun di sisi lain, ekspresi ini bisa menjadi bumerang karena siapapun bisa menuliskan pesan, termasuk orang-orang yang pernah dikenal secara pribadi namun pernah bermasalah. Sebagai contoh, seorang rekan saya yang menjelang kehancuran pernikahannya, justru saling membalas kalimat-kalimat tidak sopan, melalui facebook mereka yang akhirnya terbaca oleh begitu banyak rekan-rekan mereka. Akibatnya, berbagai persepsi yang negatif-pun bermunculan terhadap keduanya.

Mengomentari situasi semacam ini, saya tetap mengingatkan beberapa rekan saya agar mempunyai tujuan yang jelas dengan facebook maupun jejaring sosial yang mereka lakukan. Waktu menulis, harusnya juga dipertimbangkan secara matang, apa yang hendak dikomunikasikan. Sebab sekali sudah ditulis dan terkirim, apapun yang kita pikirkan akan terbaca oleh jutaan orang yang bisa akses ke halaman web kita. Kita pun, harus mewaspadai pula apa yang kita posting-kan serta mengantisipasi risiko dari orang-orang, baik dari yang niatnya paling tulus hingga ke yang ‘iseng’ untuk menanggapinya. Jangan sampai teknologi ini justru menjadi alat yang merusak citra diri. Kitalah yang harus menggunakannya dengan bijak.

Ketiga, dari sisi manajemen energi dan waktu, facebook maupun jejaring sosial semacam ini bisa menjadi pencuri yang perlu diwaspadai. Di satu sisi, produktivitas kerja bisa terganggu akibat banyaknya yang addicted untuk melihat ataupun penasaran soal komentar orang terhadap apa yang dipostingkan di situs pribadinya. Kitapun menjadi penasaran, terus-menerus membaca informasi dari orang lain yang terus menerus di-update. Selain energi pikiran jadi lebih terkonsentrasi ke facebook, banyak waktu dan energi yang produktif pun jadi tersita. Makanya, kewaspadaan tetap perlu menjadi senjata bagi kita. Saya mengenal beberapa klien saya yang ketagihan dengan mengisi dan update facebook. Nyaris setiap jam, mereka harus mengecek facebooknya. Dan bisa diperkirakan, karir mereka pun bukanlah yang tergolong luar biasa.

Tak Perlu Antipati

Tulisan ini tidak mengajak kita untuk antipati dengan facebook atau jejaring sosial lainnya. Justru, yang penting adalah bagaimana kita ‘outsmart’ (lebih cerdas) dari teknologi dan memanfaatkan sebesar-besarnya bagi keuntungan kita. Berbagai perusahaan, dapat mendayagunakan facebook untuk memperluas jaringan salesnya. Cukup banyak artis dan penulis yang mempertahankan fans-nya dengan facebooknya. Mereka yang cerdas, dapat menggunakan teknologi sosial seperti facebook demi kepentingan yang berharga bagi sukses mereka, khususnya dalam hal networking. Nah, bagaimana dengan Anda?

I am in love with another Mayer

2009-03-16T16:50:00.007+08:00

Yes I am in love with this Mayer. Not John Mayer but Mayer Hawthorne! The new artist from Stone Throw Record is giving contemporary soul music to the listeners. Born and raised in Detroit, Mayer will debut his album to the world THIS SUMMER! yeeeeahh!

He's not only untrained singer, DJ Touring Artist, but also has a rapping alter-ego known as HairCut. Taking Barry White, Isaac Hayes, James Jamerson and the Funk Bros, The Moments as his influences, 29-year-old white kid released his first two singles ‘Just Ain't Gonna Work Out’ and ‘When I Said Goodbye’ which are MY FAVORITE! It's hard to believe that getting those two singles are really killing, just full of struggle. I cant wait for his new single 'Maybe So Maybe No' that suppose to be released this March.

Please come to SG. will YOU??

Before Sex and The City

2009-03-13T12:11:00.001+08:00

Last time I watched this movie called Sex and the Single Girl. It is an old movie based on best seller novel by Helen G. Brown. Around 1962 I guess (even my mom was still a few months). Later on it's inspired Candace Bushnell to make Sex and the City.

I amaze with Natalie Wood. She played the main role as Dr. Helen Brown, psychiatrist, in that film. She was really chic and so 60s. I love her bob hair and the way she puff on her cigarette. Really different kind of Audrey Hepburn!

Well prelim is over but final exam is not. I only have 1.5 months approximately to study all the materials. I made some schedule before and I AM REALLY trying to stick with it. Today I supposed to study poa, unfortunately sisterhood and the traveling pants 2 was more exciting than those POA books. sob sob.. I just want to scream at my face, 'Princess please wake up. The time is coming! Don't you afraid of all questions from London??' mmppff..
By the way, I just got a horrible news from my family. It really makes me wanna cry. Sorry I can't tell, it's too personal or there is no body whom I can trust in. Maybe if it's getting worse, I can tell you. BUT I hope everything is ok. For now I can't be able to go out with friends and have some fun in this kind of situation. Sorry I just need my time to figure this out.

well I hope Princess will wake up soon from her beautiful dream.. I think she forgets about the real world.

Seasonal Fellas

2009-03-06T01:25:00.000+08:00

I opened my fs account. scrolled down to the old testimonials. saw various messages from my friends.

pathetic indeed. Just very few of them are still keeping in touch with me. Others, well I dont know where they are.

funny thing, I found some messages from the non special friends, told they were missed me and said 'how are you doing' but in the end they only planned to increase the number of their testimonies. Like they were competing in 'Who has the most testimonials in social network'

Well for those seasonal fellas I just want to say, 'F*ck you, dear. I don't care or precisely I won't care about you anymore. I'm so tired and I have a lot things to do. Don't you guys disturb me by giving me not-so-important message!'

Orang Tua

2009-02-28T23:14:00.000+08:00

Di saat aku tua, bukan lagi diriku yang dulu,
maklumilah diriku, bersabarlah dalam menghadapiku

Di saat aku menumpahkan kuah sayuran di bajuku,
di saat aku tidak lagi mengingat cara mengikat tali sepatu,
Ingatlah saat-saat bagaimana aku mengajarimu, membimbingmu untuk melakukannya

Di saat aku dengan pikun nya mengulang terus-menerus ucapan yang membosankan mu,
Bersabarlah mendengarkanku, jangan memotong ucapanku,
Di masa kecilmu, aku harus mengulang dan mengulang terus sebuah cerita yang
telah kuceritakan ratusan kali sehingga dirimu terbuai dalam mimpi

Di saat aku membutuhkanmu untuk memandikanku,
Janganlah menyalahkanku. .
Ingatkah di masa kecilmu, bagaimana aku dengan berbagai cara membujukmu untuk mandi?

Di saat aku kebingungan menghadapi hal-hal baru dan teknologi modern,
Tolong jangan tertawai aku...
Renungkanlah bagaimana aku dengan sabarnya menjawab setiap "mengapa" yang kau ajukan saat itu

Di saat kedua kakiku terlalu lemah untuk berjalan,
Ulurkanlah tanganmu yang muda dan kuat untuk memapahku,
bagaikan dimasa kecilmu, aku menuntunmu melangkahkan kaki untuk belajar berjalan

Di saat aku melupakan topik pembicaraan kita,
berilah sedikit waktu padaku utnuk mengingatnya.
Sebenarnya, topik pembicaraan bukanlah hal yang penting bagiku,
asalkan engkau berada di sisiku untuk mendengarkanku,
aku telah bahagia..

Di saat engkau melihat diriku menua, janganlah bersedih.
Maklumilah diriku, dukunglah aku, seperti aku terhadapmu ketika engkau mulai belajar tentang kehidupan...

Angel could kill Demon. But Demon is tough enough. In fact Demon never dies. And never mistaken. Demon always follows her. Whenever she goes. Whatever she does.

Angel probably misses the King. The King of Eden. The King of Broadway. The King of calfskin sofa. But King doesn't know. doesn't care. King is busy; minds his own life.

Angel keep saying about the Deleted Contact. Which Demon knows what is it. But others don't know. don't care. Others are busy; mind their private life.

The King was perfect and Angel will not forget it.

Little Pictures is an electronic duo from New Zealand, consists of Johanna Calvi-Freeman and Mark Turner as its members. They released their first album, Owl+Owl, on July 2008. My recommended song called This House Can Fit Us All has a really unique video clip. As a new duo, they have a great taste of music, make a different kind of sensation in electronic pop music.

After all I just want to say 'PLEASE COME TO SINGAPORE!!!'

FLEA.FLY.FLO.FUN

2009-02-01T16:11:00.002+08:00

Yesterday I went to Flea Fly Flo Fun at Home Club, River Valley, Singapore. Two of my friends were opening 3 stalls in order to sell their old stuff. So far, as my eyes could see, their stalls were the tidiest, the most attractive and probably they had the most fashionable stuff. Jessica sold her old tops dresses and bags. Mba Icha sold her nudie jeans and ksubi!Unfortunately I did not get anything from the flea market (maybe because I was running out of money, thus I did not have any mood for shopping). Nike got 2 nice tops at SGD 8 for each and a vintage square bag for only SGD 7.

Well The Zouk Flea Market will be held next week and I can't wait to see what will be going on there!!!

MASCULINE non FEMININE

Lyz told me to do a quiz on ' Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps' by Allan Pease and Barbara Pease.
I was scored 145 and it indicated me as MASCULINE BRAIN TYPE.

I said, 'I am an independent woman, indeed!'
But Lyz said, 'Yes therefore you're still single until this time.'

OUCH!!!

ANY BROWN KOALA?

2009-01-30T16:55:00.001+08:00

Today after campus, Ms C tagged me on one of her notes about what kind of animal are you.
I tried to follow the game and here's the result

17/06/1989

You are Brown Koala, who is quiet and modest.
You are graceful and have atmosphere of being rather old fashioned.
You don't like conflicts and are a peaceful person.
People will not hate you.
But you don't get loved passionately by the others either.
You tend to have the same kind of relationships with each one of them, and no one becoming special.
You don't get too close to anyone.
You have great sensitivity, and those who get to know you may find you rather too nervous.
You are cautious to people around you, and worry too much about your family and yourself.
You are realistic person, and you prefer rationalism to emotional things.
Nevertheless, you possess great sensitivity and have sense of beauty.
You are very romantic type of person.
You also possess natural aptitude to spirituality.
Your selfish comment may make you isolated from people around you.
If you can control your weakness, you may be able to show your talent that matches the need of the society.
If you try to be a perfectionist, you will break the inner balance and may shut yourself in your own dreamy world.
You should see things objectively and widen your vision.
This will lead to successful life.
Once married, you will be a devoted wife, and a mother obsessed with children's education.

WTF?

They are not 'desperate' anymore

Eva Longoria = Gabrielle Solis

Nicollette Sheridan = Edie Williams

Teri Hatcher = Susan Mayer

Marcia Cross = Bree Hodge

Those pictures were taken from 2009 SAG Awards. They all seemed gorgeous and pretty. still believe that they are desperate housewives?
Well, you guess!
Because Lynette Scavo was not found anywhere. Maybe she was busy protecting her family.

ANGEL

My Exquisite Christmas Present

2008-12-06T03:45:00.000+08:00

My campus just gave me a bunch of xmas present that really 'cheer me up'.

Here's the list of the lovely gift:

PBF tutorial 8 ( Mrs. KSM just gave it to us like 2 days ago, and we have to submit it tomorrow)
PBF assignment 1 ( Mrs. KSM just told us to download it at our student portal and the deadline is next wedenesday. I'm so going to hell now)

CF assignment 3 ( Grace told me she has read it and seems she doesn't understand at all. OH GOD how come I can do it if the smartest person I know doesn't even care of it)

NO HOLIDAY ( I still have my lecture on 26th, 29th, 30th, and even on 2nd January 2009!)

December 2008 is the BUSIEST month of my study syllabus!!

But F.R.I.E.N.D.S sitcom makes me so relief :)

TRUE/FALSE = FAKE/REAL

2008-12-03T14:44:00.000+08:00

We are fakers who pretend to feel happy together.
We are backstabber who betray each other.

Yes, we are the non authentic one.
Yes, we are the faux one.

It was the first ASIAN tour by the Whitest Boy Alive. The ticket was expensive and I've seen Erlend with Kings of Convenience before but I thoroughly enjoyed "akang Erlend" performance AGAIN :)

Erlend's groupies
(we were so craving for the best place in front of the stage in order to see Erlend and the Gang show clearly.)

Here's some pictures that I captured successfully on 27th November 2008

Stupid Reporter blocked my way

WE want more!!

Erlend mingled with us

He's truly down to earth.

After the show Erlend took us to velvet underground. We danced together all night. Lucky us!

geez look at my friend, Gabby and Erlend! They danced all night long and made some of us jealous!

I want YOU guys!!!!
