Rambling about nothing (or maybe about something)

Today I felt so ill that I called the office and asked to have a day off. Gosh, my head was spinning. My body is aching. I don't know what to blame: the weather, my low antibody, or poor intake of food.

Instead of moaning, I guess I will write some aimless post that maybe can cheer both of us up: you happy to know my stories and me happy to can write something. Deal?

Okay, where to start?

Let's start with my current situation. No, not the ill, weak condition I am in now; but the current job hunting situation. Like Dita, I am too now searching for a job. I am currently doing an internship at Nuffic, but I will soon be gone. The project will be finished and so will my contract.

Job opening websites like LinkedIn, Undutchable, Monsterboards, and also Twitter have been my regular destination when I am online (especially to Twitter :P). I also visited the (so-called) biggest Job Fair in Holland, which turned out to be smaller that it'd always been, with much less exhibitors (definitely less than what they advertised. Sigh,...)

Althooough, it was such a miracle for me that I happened to meet the right people at the right time. I had some nice conversations with the exhibitors, we exchanged business cards with my CV :) and, now fingers crossed!

Yet, I will soon have little holiday in December. I guess (hopefully), I deserve it. After 1.5 years working very hard - to survive the sleepless nights, the tons of books I have to read, and very less social activities that I could attend to - I graduated! Thus, if you don't see me around at social media between December - January, you know I am not being kidnapped by fake secret agent (oops, the effect after watching Shooter last night) :P

Hm,.. what else do you wanna know? Marriage? hahahahha,.. no no no no, it's still faaaar from being prepared. Don't trust any other third parties that pretend to know something about our plan to get married. No, no, no, it's still very raw. However, I have been doing some research about when to get married, where, the cost, and of course, the most crucial aspects for me: photography, songs (band), gown, and make-up.

I really don't know what to share anymore, so I will end my ramble with my story and little snapshot of watching Rihanna live on Nokia.com last Monday. I have to say, it ain't that good. It was faaaaaaaaaaar from being personal. We had to wait quite some time before the show started (it was planned at 9 PM CET, but it started aroun 9.10, without any warning or earlier notification).

Jamie Cullum had done similar thing some weeks ago. And I have to applaude mr Jamie Cullum for that. It was intimate, he talked to the 'audiences', and even chatted with the 'audiences'. He played the songs that were requested by the 'audiences'. Ah, in short, it was cool!

Anyway, in the end of the day, social media is about intimacy, a personalised conversation with your customer. Hahaha, now the social media expert is talking!!

Here is a snapshot of Rihanna live on Nokia.

FENOMENA ACEH 07

Daster Batik Pagi itu Nie datang ke kantor disambut oleh kumpulan ibu-ibu yang tidak jelas dari mana dan mau apa. “Assalamualaikum” sapa Nie. “Waalaikumsalam” jawab kumpulan ibu-ibu itu serempak. Nie menyunggingkan senyum, berusaha menampilkan senyum yang termanis untuk mereka. Semakin aku masuk ke dalam kantorku, semakin banyak ibu-ibu yang duduk lesehan di depan kantorku. Nie bergegas masuk ke ruangan admin, ada Hetty dan Wardah di sana. “Dah, kenapa ada ibu-ibu itu di situ?” Nie bertanya ke Wardah asal muasal ibu-ibu itu. “Oh, Pak Welly menugaskan karyawan kita yang di lapangan untuk mencari ibu-ibu yang membutuhkan sumbangan baju daster. Ibu-ibu korban tsunami. Ya itulah, bu, ibu-ibu yang akan diberikan sumbangan baju daster.” Nie mencermati kumpulan ibu-ibu itu. Ada yang masih muda belia, ada yang sudah tua, entah apa rambutnya sudah putih semua karena uban, atau disemir hitam mengkilap. Aku tak tahu, karena semua ibu-ibu menutupi auratnya, dari kepala sampai ujung kaki. Jadi k...

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...

God's Plan for My Slippers

Look at my cute slippers! Lucu banget, kan!  Slippers ini diberikan sebagai oleh-oleh, dari seorang sahabat yang pada saat itu baru pindah ke New Zealand . Kalau saya tidak salah, 4 atau 5 tahun lalu slippers ini diberikan. Saya adalah orang yang practical . Boro-boro pakai slippers di rumah, sandal jepit biasa pun tidak! Di dalam rumah, kami biasa nyeker alias tidak pernah pakai sandal. Jadi si slippers domba Selandia Baru yang baru ini resmi menjadi penunggu lemari baju. Setelah Axl lahir dan beranjak sedikit dewasa, slippers ini ditemukan tanpa sengaja. Axl suka sekali dan kerap memainkan slippers ini. Namun lagi-lagi, setelah beberapa minggu, si domba kembali menjadi penunggu lemari. Anak balita itu sangat gampang bosan! Sampai 1 bulan yang lalu. Di salah satu tempat ngantor saya yang baru, saya harus bekerja di ruangan yang super dingin! Tiba-tiba, saya teringat akan slippers domba ini! Ternyata benar, slippers ini bisa menghangatkan kaki saya dengan sempurna. D...
