Oma berpidato - Hardiknas 2008

Inilah pidato (baca: e-mail blasting) yang Oma tulis untuk karyawan D~NET Surabaya

---

Kepada Teman-teman D~NET,

Puji Syukur kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa karena hari ini kita bisa memperingati Hardiknas 2008.

Saya, sebagai CSR coordinator ingin mengajak kita semua untuk lebih peduli dengan pendidikan. D~NET punya berbagai event yang bertajuk D~NET Peduli Pendidikan, salah satunya adalah D~NET & Partners Peduli Pendidikan yang akan segera diadakan di bulan Mei 2008 ini. Namun, sebagai keluarga besar D~NET, seberapa peduli sih kita terhadap pendidikan?

Sejumlah surat kabar hari ini mengulas berbagai fenomena di dunia pendidikan: bagaimana pemerintah masih saja memandang sebelah mata dunia pendidikan. Sebagai bangsa Indonesia, dan sebagai warga D~NET yang peduli pendidikan, dengan apa kita bisa merayakan Hari Pendidikan Nasional 2008 ini?

Kebanyakan orang memosisikan pendidikan sekedar sebagai wahana guna mendapatkan pekerjaan dan uang. Jadi, setelah lulus sekolah/kuliah, kita anggap proses belajar itu selesai. Padahal, kalau kita lihat secara holistic, hidup ini adalah proses belajar. Selama kita hidup, kita tidak akan pernah berhenti belajar.
Ada pula yang mengatakan bahwa pendidikan bertujuan mendewasakan, menghasilkan manusia sebagai agent of change, dimana kita bisa terus-menerus belajar dan membuat perubahan-perubahan yang positif. So, kita, sebagai generasi muda penerus bangsa tidak boleh segan-segan untuk menikmati pendidikan (baca: belajar) dan menularkan perubahan positif itu pada orang-orang di sekitar kita.

Marilah dengan kesadaran ini, kita merayakan hari pendidikan nasional 2008. Marilah kita tidak segan-segan untuk terus belajar dan belajar dan belajar, karena semakin modern dunia ini, semakin kita dituntut untuk mempelajari banyak hal baru. Be an agent of change!

Sudah siapkah Anda untuk menghadapi tantangan era globalisasi yang kompetitif?

Selamat hari pendidikan nasional 2008.

Merdeka!

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand...

The Bright Side

Always look at the bright side of life - Monty Phyton This song has been sung during the Olympics closing ceremony last year; and this has been my cheer up song ever since. Thus, referring to my earlier blog about how I was not happy with the way we got married, well, I tried to look back and to see the bright side of that circumstance. So if I could share a few things, which might be helpful to you, who are in the middle of preparing a wedding, here they are: 1. Wedding dress I was really happy with my wedding dress. I love the designer, Fifi Firianty , which was very helpful and very professional, and of course her work is stunning. From the first time I met her, I knew there was a click. So, if you look for a designer, who has a European style, please do consider her.  But just some tips, make sure you ask to have you dress fitted one day before the wedding. I had it measure 3 days before the wedding, but in the last 3 days, I ate almost nothing. So this dress...
