What I felt for the very first Thing

Erghhhh....
I started posting with no eager to write :) i had no theme to post to. However, suddenly I had an idea to write my experiences for doing something first time. It will look so ashamed, but it was my memories that i caould not easily erase.
here they are

1. The very First Flight
It was January 15th, 2012 night before my first fligh at 10.50 am january 16th, 2012. I could not sleep during the night waiting for my flight. It looked so strange when i had to wait for my flight. I did research regarding to the taking plane as transportation, how to check it, how to get boarding pass, how to sit, how to rescue in case accident, how to reach teh airport, how to check out in immigration, etc. All was on my head on a night. Before, i though not that complicated. Clock showed me 2 in the morning, and i realized that i had to sleep due to my very early flight. I still could not get into 'sleeping' instead of close-eyes-think-another. But yeah finally i slept. I woke up late enough, i woke up at 7 am (i planned to wake up at 6 and got to airport at 7 am), and then i took a bath very quickly, took my bagage, not really bagage just bag and stuffs and waiting for van to go to Bus port and i reached bus port At 8.20 and got the bus at 8.30 to leave. Traffic jam for the first an hour, and finally got my way on time, i arrived in airport at 10.05 and my flight at 10.50. and I ralized that 'must come 2 hours before' is much better :)

2. Check in Counter
My first experience continued in airport. I had to go to Counter Check in. I had  no idea about that and i got the flowing and followed the foreigner and i was wrong, that i am native, so i have different counter check-in and that i learnt from, I have to position myself as local :p

3. Not My Country
11.25 am was shown in Changi International Airport Budget Terminal, Singapore. Yeah it's my first time arrive in abroad. I was shocked the differences of us and I was officially foreigner :) I was so happy and i did mistakes again, i didn't take embarkation paper and i just queued up in line, when got my turn, the official asked about the embarkation card, and i didn't have it, s i have to take the card backward and fill it and queued up again, when i finished writing the card, and another flight from Manila came, and the queuing was getting longer,a nd finally i got my turn and yeah i was international that time :)

4. iPod
hag hag Hag Hag..... sounds 'what the hell!' But it was true. I had my first iPod this May 2012. i bought the used one because i had no enough money to purchase new one and update one :) i was getting strange to it how to operate and bla bla bla regarding to the my iPod. But later i am in love with my iPod 3G, the gadget i can buy from my own money :)

Dumb[less] Suko-ULIP Interview

Kamis, 7 juni 2012 pukul 12.00 Gue harus ke Graha Unilever untuk mengikuti tes selanjutnya dari Unilever Leadership Internship Program (ULIP), yaitu semacam program magang gitu lah.

Sebelumnya, kita yang melamar pada program ini harus mengrimkan berkas terlebih dahulu, berkas di sini adalah semacam formulir tiga halaman berformat .xls yang harus diisi (masa diijak-injak) secara menyeluruh dan itu memburuhkan waktu, tidak hanya 2-3 detik doang selesai.

Banyak banget yang harus diisi di formulir ini, mulai dari data pribadi, pengalaman organisasi (itu yang tidak perlu mikir) dan juga yang paling susah adalah ketika harus menjabarkan apa keberhasilan dan kegagalan terbaik dan terburuk, jujur itu sangat menguras otak gue dalam berfikir.

Hari itu, 13 mei 2012 (gue lupa hari apa) gue baru ingat kalau itu hari adalah hari terakhir mengumpulkan berkas ini. dan akhirnya setelah memikirkan apa yang harus gue tulis, dan menemukan inspirasi ketika jam menunjukkan pukul 01.00 dini hari dan selesai pukul 02.00 dini hari dan dikirim pukul 02.15 dini hari. Akhirnya bisa terkirim juga.

Sebenarnya, program ini gue apply karena gue sebagai mahasiswa semester 6 (pada saat menulis ini) harus melakukan program kerja Praktik yang bobotnya sebesar 3 SKS. Dan, sampai saat gue mengirim ke Unilever, belm juga ada kabar gue mau KP kemana. Gak tauu kenapa gue sama sekali ga berminat untuk mengerjartempat KP jauh-jauh hari sebelumnya, layaknya beberapa teman-teman yang sudah secure mendapatkan tempat KP.

Tetapi, gue akhirnya mengirimkan aplikasi lamaran KP gue ke PT Multibintang Indonesia di sekitar minggu kedua bulan Mei. Ini gue lakukan ketika gue harus beradu dengan harapan dan realitas yang ada, kalau mau lulus ya harus KP. Sebenarnya, melamar di perusahaan ini sangatlah perlu pertimbangan karena perusahaan ini emrupakan perusahaan bir, tetapi gue tetep keukeuh mengirim kan aplikasi ke tempat ini, dan gue tidak tau kenapa gue bakal keterima kapanpun.

Nah, suatu malam, gue check email dan mendapati suatu email atas nama Indriani isabela

email dari nama yang gue sebut di atas

Dan betapa senangnya hati ini mendapatkan email itu. sepertinya gue ga percaya banget. Gue ga pinter-pinter banget (indikator IPK yang sangat cukup memprihatinkan) walaupun gue anak UI, kayaknya gue Hoki doang deh masuk Universitas ini, tetapi ya sudahlah gue ga sebodoh itu kok.

Pada email tersebut gue harus melakukan online test, ya semacam tes numerical sama logical gitu. Gilakkk, gilakk banget banget banget, untuk tes yang pertama (tes yang menentukan urutan selanjutnta dari suatu gambar) ada 20 soal dan harus selesai dalam waktu 10 menit, dalam hati gue teriak tiada henti, tettapi takbisa tertahan oleh dahak karena lagi batuk-pilek.

tes kedua lebih heboh lagi, ada 24 soal yang harus selesai dalam waktu 24 menit. dan pada tes pertmana gue cukup yakin karena gue menyelesaikan 15-an soal dan sisanya nembak ketika detik-detik terakhir,Nah, di test yang selanjutnya gue praktis hanya mengerjakan 6 dari 24 dan sisanya harus nembak. dan gue kembali berpikir, pantesan gue ga dapet tempat KP mulu.

"Tiba-tiba keajaiban terjadi

Kekuatan muncul di diri

Untuk melawan semua kejahatan

Kekuatanku harus digunakan

Menegakkan segala kebenaran

Ini keajaiban alam

Aku mempercayainya

Ini keajaiban alam…"

Iya, Theme song dari sailormoon Indonesia bergumarang di telinga gue, hari kamis 30 Mei 2012, gue mendapatkan telpon dari suatu nomor yang kagak gue kenal, +6221300************** dan sebelumnya temen gue, atas nama Tiffany Patra mendapatkan telpon pas lagi Ujian, dan gue yakin itu dari unilever (dan ternyata benar) dna gue udah ga heran kalu dia dapet telpon, secara Tiffany lah, semua orang udah mengenal sepak terjang dia sebagai mahasiswa yangs angat unggul dalam banyak hal, dan sangat layak mendapatkan panggilannya.

Oh iya, telpon gue itu gue terima setelah 1 menit gue keluar kelas dari UAS teknologi Enzim, dan gue ga bisa berkata apa-apa hanya bisa bersyukur dan kembali rasa optimisme gue bahwa gue tidak sebodoh itu hehehe

Dan kegalauan pun muncul, ketika temen gue, Veronica Dewi, mengirimkan teks sms ke gue kalau gue keterima KP di PT multibintang pada hari jum'at 1 juni 2012, dan gue langsung ke departemen untuk melakukan kroscek apakah benar, dan ternyata VOILLLLLLAAAA!!! This is it, nama gue dan partner KP gue tertera bahwa gue harus siap KP hari senin 4 juni 2012, dan gue terima kasih dna kembali galau karena gue menunda tes unilever yang harusnya hari senin dan tak tau harus di jadual ulang kapan, dan di sini gue harus UAS terkakhir. akhirnya gue menghubungi pikah PT MBI dan gue mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mulai KP pada hari senin 11 juni 2012. dan kembali gue hanya bisa bersyukur (di sini lah letka kereligiusan gue. ahahah)

hari ranu, pukul 22.30 gue secara tidak sengaja membuka email, dan mendapat email dari orang yang sama dari unilever

dan Itulah yang tertulis dalam email, gue harus menghadiri tes interview dan FGD Unilever. da dalam hati gue

"I am no more Dumb

I just need time to show that i am smarter thamn 5th grader"

kembali terurai asa untuk melanjutkan hidup setelah setelah sebelumnya gue merasakan underestimated dari beberapa orang. Dan My lofe is now turning up!!!

Dan Kegalauan terjadi....... (bersambung)

Land of Hypocrite

Oh, Indonesia, the largest Moslem Country in the world and have 6 official religions. All people must have religion in their id with high respect to the tradition and the eastern behaviour.

One of the recent headlines is about the FORBIDDEN LADY GAGA.

in the name of culture and religion, Many people don't allow her to have concert in Jakarta.It's supported by the Police that they dont want to give any protection to the concert, that's why, no permit, no concert.

Lady Gaga, i am not kind of die hard fans, i just love her songs because it's literally good listening :)

so, to the point of the tittle, Land of Hypocrite. Who's that land???

the land is my beloved Country, Indonesia.

They (the religious people) protest in the name of adsurbness of the costume and the image. The Image of what??? the unproperly way of costuming in lady gaga. they said Lady gaga would harm the next generation. are they affraid of? FYI, the religious person always said that they are only affraid of God, but, now why they are affraid of Lady gaga??? it's so contrary adsurb.

Hypocrite, that's the people! am I as well?? well, i just say so. i mean I think so, but that that massively hypocrite. this hypocrite is MUCH MORE HUGE!!!

so, land of hypocrite in the name of God in the mother land...

It's the vehicle to enter the motherland!!!

Hello Stranger.. (1)

Tonight, not night here, just there :)
it was 2 in the morning (GMT +7). i am chatting with someone from very far far away country.

the story begins..

I am so interested in Polish language. It's damn hard for me, and I have no clue to learn more about this language. I have language books and dictionary of polish as well. but no much time to practise.
Until I got him on my skype details.
He's from Poland (for sure), and i dont even know his name, where he lives, and what his occupation. That i know is he is teaching me polsih. he taught me how to read very dam sentences, here i copy the sentences

"W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie

I Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie.

Wół go pyta: ”Panie chrząszczu,

Po co pan tak brzęczy w gąszczu?”

”Jak to – po co? To jest praca,

Każda praca się opłaca.”

”A cóż za to Pan dostaje?”

”Też pytanie! Wszystkie gaje,

Wszystkie trzciny po wsze czasy,

Łąki, pola oraz lasy,

Nawet rzeczki, nawet zdroje,

Wszystko to jest właśnie moje!”

So, any idea how to read them???

he can  do it. he taught me to spell it one by one, then read it entirely. i was so dumb reading them, how can I?? even the basic grammar i still forget. But he's awesome. he knows how to teach language to very dumb person. i was reading it very worse, and I marked myself 30 out of 100 and he said i was good, i dont know what's on his mind whn i was reading, i thought that he was laughing out loud :p

so, the stranger comes until everynight, and i still dont get him. Today, he told me that he was volunteer, and it's super cool to have E.T. friend from reversed flag country.

I just know that he's 'blindspirit'

hahaha

let's see next story of E.T. friend

Foods and I

here I come again.
after some reherseals, i come back to my beloved blog. hereby, the post of having good sense of foods (eating for sure) i dont know what it calls in english.

The story begins..

I am 50 kg in weight of 169 cm height, it seems ideal, but totally No. nobody said ideal actuallt, just me assume that i am. The 'size' of my body never resizes the ability of eating. I have passion on eating, and foods. I am instantly getting fatter??? hell No. I want to be fatter, but the Destiny says another :(

Okay, Foods. they belong to my passion. No matter what it looks like, tastes like, or even hygiene, i still can eat it, as long as it's edible. Here some my great 'achievements' LOL

1. I ate Cockroach, crickets, and grashoppers in Thailand. it was so strange, but one of my goal to go to thailand was to have them. And I did it. no matter how grossy it is, i tried it. that's what i called 'sense of food' everything is edible :p
2. I tried geckoo, Worm, and Frogs. they are believed as medicine, traditional medicine. i got Geckoo from my pop, he told me that it would heal the itchiness due to insect's attack. it tasted so bitter,a nd i dont like it. but i got it done, i eman not whole, just few. Worm is for medicine in disgestion system. is it grossy?? yeah. I didn't expect that the wdrink when i got typhus was grilled worm. it tasted normally, and yeah as long as it's not poisonous, i am safe. the Frog??? i love the meat. it's recognizable as meat in my town
3. i was the second winner of takoyaki amazing race competition. my friends and I (consisted of 4 people) raced to eat takoyaki (japanese food). They committe gave us the 'bonus' takoyaki, the bonus were containing Chili, salts, soar flavour (very sour), and bitter (overcooked). yeah we got second winner, we had Yukata photo session as the reward.
4. etc (undescribable, but it's normal for sure)

so, no matter how it is. I am with my passion.

so, Suko is Food, and Food is not always Suko :)

so, see you to another fun story

Suko adi Prastiyo

let's cook: Che

Finally, i made it :)

That day, friday, 20 April 2012, when The class was over, i decided to go to Giant Hypermart in Depok. I was so excited to make this kind of sweet drink :)

After very long thinking, yeah I bought a package of tapioca Pearl and Corns, and also the Coconut Milk. 

AND WHAT NEXT???

I cooked, boiled for sure, all the kinds of stuff i bought.

what the step??

Boil the tapioca Pearl

The Corn's Kernels

1. Boil the tapioca pearl on water in the pan with strong Fire. waiting about 10-15 minutes until it looks translucent, wit color of the tapioca pearl u make

Add the mixture with coconut milk and corn's kernel

2. After the Tapioca pearl translucent, pour the Corn's Kernel to the pan and also the Coconut Milk Powder (I chose this kind of coconut milk because i can adjust the thickness of the of the broth i wanted to. For sure, and some sugars according to your desire. Usually this drink is so sweet, so i added a lot of sugar to make it very sweet because it's very nice to drink in the sweet time :)

Stir it gently

seems so raw

3. wait for them until they are cooked enough and well-done. Stir it gently and add some honey to make the aroma and also the sweetness

Honey Again

Add Some Honey

4. The Che bap is ready to serve. better in Cold, but Hot or warm is good as well. I added topping with Nata De Coco.

so, happy cooking..

Voila!! It's Ready

I love Vietnam. I went there and i am falling in love on it. I can't forget all the memories I made there, and then that's how i show my love, make the cuisine of this country.

And Thank to......

Jakarta: Lebak Bulus on Twillight

Now, this section, i am telling you about jakarta. Actually I am not Native Jakarta. I was a country who had to go to Jakarta and live in suburb. Okay just overview about it :)

It's time to see one of the important part of South Jakarta, It's Called Lebak Bulus. I pass this area every monday, thursday, and tuesday. It will be unforgettable for me then when i am not here :)... what's the typical of this area??? Hmm, the typical ones are what i usually pass by :)

and Lebak Bulus is Hub area in South jakarta to the suburb areas around (South Tanggerang  and Depok)

1. The street vendors some when the twilight (Maghrib) comes

The vendors around pedestrian

the center of Lebak Bulus is the intersection road. the traffic light, 2 malls, and flyover above. And when the twilight (Maghrib) comes the street vendors some to sell what they cook..

Soto Ayam  Lamongan, east java chicken soup

The typical street vendors of Indonesia, they open the stall on the pedestrian, and they start selling at 4 p.m. and the most people coming is on 6 p. when may people finish working an they feel hungry along the street. Due to hub area, many people will pass this street.

The menus are yummy and some may be not clean, but don't worry, it'll be a treat to your stomach so that it won't be baby anymore :) My Favorite menu is Soto Ayam Lamongan, it's in the middle of   food stalls there. They have two sotos, Once is soto daging (Beef soup) and Ceker (Chicken leg). It tastes sour and you can add some grounded chillies to them for spicy.

This area is so accessible.  You can reach from International Airport by Damri bus for 20k IDR it costs 2 hours, and also reachable from many areas from many cities from other provinces because it has one of the main bus station!!

The Traffic light intersection of the main road. It was 5.30 p.m and started traffic jam

so, if u have chance to visit this place, don't hesitate to take a look the traffic jam and the vendors!!!
