Unexpected a.k.a tidak diduga-duga

Hari ini Oma belajar sesuatu dari Oom Coy, seorang teman kantor yang sudah Oma anggap seperti kakak. Oom Coy yang baik hati dan tidak sombong hari ini menemani Oma instalasi komputer di sebuah SD Negeri di kawasan Surabaya Barat. Instalasi komputer ini adalah bagian program CSR Oma yang sedang on-going sekarang.

Hari ini, kami membawa 1 PC dan 1 Modem untuk diinstal di SD itu. Semua sudah dicek. Semua OK! Pokoknya we have made sure kalau hari ini PC dan Modem sudah terpasang dan sudah bisa connect ke internet. Kami berangkat dengan semangat 45.

Sesampainya di sana,....

TIDAK BISA CONNECT!!


*&$@#?!!?@*#*!#

Kok bisaaa?? Padahal tadi semua beressss!!! Padahal tadi semua connect???? Kok?????

Oom Coy bilang "ya, ini dia! Kadang di lapangan tuh terjadi hal-hal yang tidak terduga. Ya, kita harus siap dengan semua ini."

Oma pun merenung.
Oma ini adalah tipe orang yang selalu stick to the plan. Janji pergi jam 7, ya harus jam 7 teng berangkat. Janji mau makan di restoran Jepang, ya harus makan di restoran Jepang. Planning untuk menyelesaikan tugas by 10 o'clock, ya harus selesai by 10 o'clock (or at least around this time, lah!). Pokoknya, semuanya harus stick to the plan.

Kalau nggak?
bakalan, be-te, be-te, be-te, ah! Basi, basi, basi, loe! (kayak lagunya Kaka 'Slank' dan Dewiq).

Tapi, seperti kata Oom Coy. Di lapangan, atau kalo bole Oma rephrase, di dunia ini, selalu saja ada yang dinamakan faktor X, unexpected factor, unexpected thing, yang come in our way, yang membuat pekerjaan kita terhambat, molor, harus ganti planning, dan, op kors, harus rela kecewa.

Seperti juga dengan laptop Oma. Mo curhat nih! Laptop Oma sudah bisa dinyatakan UZUR alias sudah TUWIR dan waktunya GANTI LAPTOP. *nangis darah* Secara harga laptop sekarang muahaaaal dan Oma uda ga punya uang :( Hadooooh,...

Emang Oma sudah mengindikasi kalo laptop Toshiba jadul itu sudah mulai menua. Kadang hang, sudah minta di-re-instal, kadang cd-rom nyangkut, pokoknya bikin sebel deh! Dan, tadi malam, resmi laptop hitam itu minta dilengserkan. CD Rom sudah tidak berfungsi, microsoft office hang, dan lemooooot!

Haruskah ku teteskan air mata di pipi,....

Jadinya, yeah,... Oma harus ready dengan this unexpected thing. Jadiii, harus nabung lagi, dan berharap by September, before that, Oma sudah bisa membeli sebuah laptop dengan harga terjangkau (kecualiiii ada yang memberikan Oma hadiah Macbook Air) :P

Hiks,..

Oleh sebab itu harus berdoa dulu kepada yang Master Faktor X di atas sana..biar semua faktor X bisa berjalan sesuai dengan apa yang kita mau..

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

Pluralism: My Version

plu`ral-ism (-noun) condition in which minority groups participate in society, yet maintain their distinctions. Today is Chinese New Year. Being Indonesian-Born-Chinese (IBC), my family has always been taking part in this celebration. No, we were not really doing the rituals, but as a child, I always had fun hunting Hung Bao (small amount of money put in an red envelop). Another memory about Chinese New Year is it was the time when my favorite cousines came from Malang. We would play; and they would possibly have sleepover. It was my childhood. However, I cannot recall what happened when I was slightly older. But I still remember that my mom told me to be an Indonesian. She would say "Nia, you are not Chinese. You are Indonesian." Or she would remind me that I have to respect Indonesian people in spite of their attitude toward ethnic Chinese. She said "We have a confusing story. If we would say we are Chinese, we would be kicked out from this country. Thus we would prob

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
