Moedik Itinerary 2013 :p

Yeaaahh!! Lebaran will be coming friends *dancing*. As usual, I will go to my hubby's hometown at Pamengpeuk (if you don't know where Pamengpeuk is, don't look at the map. Because you can't find it there too :D). Pamengpeuk is really faaaarrr faaaarrr away from Jakarta *lebay mode on*. It's located on West Java. To go there we have to go to Bandung --> Garut --> through montains, tea plantations, winding roads--> Pamengpeuk. From Garut about 3 hours (if traffic is smooth). You can find beautiful tea plantations all over the roads, but you only see 1 scenery (tea plantation). No house, no sign, no light, through forest. But don't worry there are only 2 turns : Left and Right. Eventhough the trip is quiet "wild", but I always expect this "mudik". Eventhough I will be queasy with the trip (through mountain and winding roads), but I'm really exciting. First : I do love holiday *yeay*, 2nd : I love Sundanese Foods, 3rd : Meeting family, 4th : love the scenery, beautiful tea plantation, montains, Garut City, and the most of all Beaches. Yeaaah!! Pamengpeuk is surrounded by beaches. The beaches are very beautiful, with white sands, clean water, rocks, background, fisherman boats, etc. So, here is our itinerary :

We will start from 2nd day of Lebaran (1st day is there will be family gathering at my mother's house)
09.08.13 : from Jakarta - Bandung - Garut - Pamengpeuk
We will have a relaxation trip (have a lunch in Bandung or Garut), enjoy the trip.
We hopefully can start from Subuh (let's say 05.00)
10.08.13 : Pamengpeuk (beaches)
Enjoy beaches, meeting family, and buy baso (it's a must!)
Talk about baso or meat ball, this baso it's really delicious hm... with kuah yang kental hm...
11.08.13 : From Pamengpeuk - Bandung
take a rest at Bandung, enjoying Bandung.
12.08.13 : Back to Jakarta
end of journey :)

Bismillah, I hope everything will be smooth. No heavy traffic, no problem with the car, we are healthy, and off course no problem with money!. I hope we can enjoy the trip. How bout you? How is your mudik? :)

Amaroosa Hotel Bandung

My family was staying at Amaroosa Hotel on June 29. Hm.. it's been long time, I haven't got enough time and moment to write this review. But today, in this lovely Friday morning, after early breakfast for fasting, I wrote it. Overall, I like Amaroosa Hotel. It's not a big hotel, it's a small boutique hotel with no parking space, little swimming pool more like a fish pond, but very comfort room. First we will see lobby, small lobby with comfort sofas.



But there was no bell boy or anyone who helped us taking our bags to the room. After getting our cards as key to open room, we had to bring our bags to our rooms and no one showing us the way. Btw, since there was not enough parking space, so we had to use vallet parking service. Don't worry, it's free. But, just be patient waiting your cars came, because they had to take your cars. The room was really beautiful. The decoration was victorian style and comfort too. If you want to ironing your clothes, they also provide it.



This hotel also have swimming pool. It's decorated very natural. There's waterfalls, path with white sands and chairs.
But the swimming pool is quite small, it looked like fish pond. But we still had a great time. Kiddos as usually didn't want to quit.



At next morning, we had breakfast. The variety of breakfast was so so. There were somay, baso, jamu, salads, juices, fruits, spagetti, potato, nasi goreng, chicken,meat, vegetable, and bakeries. The taste was so so (IMO).



That's little story from our last vacation. I hope I have chance to review another hotel.

Pengaruh Jam Tidur Pada Kemampuan Anak

Berikut artikel yang mudah2an bermanfaat diambil dari : BBCIndonesia.com - detikNews

Jadwal tidur anak-anak yang teratur menambah kemampuan otak mereka.

Anak-anak yang memiliki kebiasaan tidur malam dan tidak teratur dapat mempengaruhi kinerja otak mereka, menurut sebuah penelitian.

Penemuan mengenai kebiasaan tidur dan kemampuan otak anak-anak ini berasal dari studi di Inggris yang melibatkan lebih dari 11.000 anak-anak berusia tujuh tahun.

Anak-anak yang tidak memiliki kebiasaan tidur yang teratur atau yang tidur diatas jam 21.00 memiliki skor yang rendah dalam membaca dan matematika.

Kurang tidur kemungkinan akan menganggu ritme tubuh dan menghambat otak untuk mempelajari informasi baru, seperti yang ditulis dalam penelitian tersebut.

Mereka mengumpulkan data dari anak-anak berusia tiga, lima dan tujuh untuk mengetahui bagaimana kemampuan mereka mempelajari sesuatu dan apakah ini kemungkinan akan berkaitan dengan kebiasaan tidur mereka.

Kebiasaan tidur yang tidak teratur banyak terjadi pada anak-anak, sekitar satu dari lima anak-anak memiliki jam tidur yang bervariasi.

Pada usia tujuh tahun, lebih dari setengah anak-anak memiliki jam tidur yang regular antara 19.30 dan 20.30.

Secara keseluruhan, anak-anak yang tidak pernah kebiasaan tidur yang teratur memiliki skor yang lebih rendah dalam tes membaca, matematika dan kepedulian disekitarnya.

Dampak dari kebiasaan tidur ini tampak lebih nyata pada anak perempuan dibandingkan anak laki-laki.



Jadwal teratur
Para penelitian yang dipimpin oleh Prof Amanda Sacker University College London, mengatakan anak-anak dengan jadwal tidur yang tidak teratur merefleksikan keadaan keluarga yang kacau. Jadwal tidur yang tidak teratur itu berdampak pada kemampuan kongnitif anak.

"Kami berupaya untuk menghitung kondisi tersebut," kata Prof Sacker.

Anak-anak yang memiliki kebiasaan tidur malam dan tidak teratur berasal dari latar belakang sosial yang lemah dan sedikit tampaknya membaca sampai tengah malam, dan secara umum menonton televisi yang biasanya ada di kamar mereka.

Setelah mengamati sejumlah faktor tersebut, kaitan antara kemampuan mental yang buruk dan jadwal tidur yang tidak teratur pun muncul.

Penemuan itu dipublikasikan dalam jurnal epidemologi dan kesehatan komunitas.

Prof Sacker mengatakan "Jadwal yang teratur tampaknya penting bagi anak-anak.

"Membuat anak agar memiliki jadwal teratur sedini mungkin merupakan yang terbaik, dan itu tidak pernah terlambat untuk dilakukan."

Face-to-Face Interviews : Secrets, Tricks and Tips

Face-to-Face Interviews: Secrets, Tricks and Tips
(taken from www.michaelspiro.wordpress.com)

For job-seekers in today’s challenging job market, getting in front of an actual live person to interview for a job with a company is a major goal – second only to receiving and accepting an actual job offer! It seems like more and more these days, companies who are interested in a candidate begin their screening process with a phone interview – usually conducted by an internal company recruiter or an HR person. I’ve already posted a separate blog about phone interviews [“Phone Interviews: Secrets, Tricks and Tips.”] For those candidates lucky enough to pass through the phone interview and graduate to a face-to-face interview … this blog is for you!

After coaching and prepping hundreds of candidates for face-to-face interviews over the years, here are some tips, tricks and secrets that I’ve learned that may help. Now I admit that some of this information is identical to my phone interview prep … so, you’ll excuse me if I plagiarize from myself and repeat certain sections from that earlier blog. There are, of course, several very different key aspects to preparing for an in-person interview that are included here.

Research the industry, the company and the players.
Find out everything you can about the place, their business, their products, their position in their industry, their reputation, their competition, their financial stability and the key decision-makers who work there. Study the company’s website, take notes and jot down questions related to their business that you can ask at the end of your interview. Google Search the company and see what else you can find out about them beyond their own website. Look up the company on a professional business database like Dun & Bradstreet’s Million Dollar Database Premier or ReferenceUSA Business. Anyone with a public library card number can log into those databases from any home computer! (Ask your local librarian for help if you don’t know how to do this.) Read and study the company’s information there in detail. You certainly want to sound like you’ve done your homework, and that you are informed about them when asked the inevitable question: “How much do you know about our company?”

Research your interviewer.
Find out everything you can about the person that will be interviewing you. Try to find a bio on the company’s website. See if there is a bio of your interviewer in the personnel listed on the professional business databases mentioned above. Do a Google Search on their name and see what comes up. Look their name up on LinkedIn and check out their profile there. Figure out if you share any of their 1st degree LinkedIn connections, and if so, call those people and ask if they can give you any insights. The more you learn about your interviewer, the better prepared you’ll be to connect on a personal level. Think of ways to use this information as part of the “Nuggets” technique listed below.

Study the job description and prepare stories.
Carefully think through each element of the job description for the position you are interviewing for beforehand and prepare concrete examples of when, where and how you have done all the specific things described in that job description. Telling stories is a very powerful interview technique. Prepare brief stories about your past accomplishments and experiences that illustrate how you provided value to your past employers … and by inference, how you would bring similar value to a new company. Be ready to tell your stories and demonstrate with details how you fit each and every requirement they listed. Try to work those stories into your conversation in a natural way during your interview.

Print out and bring a few copies of your résumé with you.
Most likely, your interviewer will already have a copy in front of them … but sometimes they don’t. If not, it’s always helpful to ask if they’d like to have a copy to refer to – which you just happen to have ready to hand them. You might also be introduced to other people who will want to interview you, and who may not be prepared with a copy of your résumé. It’s best to have them handy.

Dress for Success.
I would advise everyone to dress up for every interview (jacket & tie or a suit for men, conservative business suit and no flashy jewelry for women.) Unless your interviewer specifically instructs you to dress casually for an interview (meaning they brought it up in advance … not that you asked if it would be OK) then this is the accepted rule of thumb. Sure, lots of places are “Business Casual” these days. I’ve seen interviewers dressed in jeans. However, don’t ever assume that means you can dress down for an interview. I’ve had more than one casually dressed decision-maker tell me that they thought a candidate showed a lack of respect by not dressing up for their interview. The bottom line is that dressing up cannot possibly hurt you!

Be on time – not too early, and NEVER late!
Make sure you know exactly where you are going. Verify the exact address and location that you are to meet your interviewer. Use Google Maps or Mapquest to plan your route. If you have one, use a GPS in your car to avoid getting lost. Do a practice driving run if you are unsure of the location. NEVER be late! But, also do not show up more than 5-10 minutes early. (That is disrespectful to the interviewer, and actually shows desperation.) If you do arrive too early, sit in your car and re-read the job description and gather your thoughts. Don’t go in until it’s close to your appointment time. On the other hand, if you do find yourself running late due to unexpected circumstances (severe weather, traffic problems, etc.) make sure you have a phone number with you that you can call to alert your interviewer about your delay. Nothing is worse than showing up late without having called. And then remember to silence your cell phone before you walk in the door!

Have a Firm Handshake.
It may sound obvious, but how you shake hands says volumes about your personality. Practice on someone you trust if needed. You want it to be firm, but not so tight that it feels like you are trying to break bones! The worst is the “fish” handshake – a completely limp hand. That’s just creepy! Almost as bad is gripping someone around their fingers instead of fully locking hands at the base of the thumb. This may sound overly picky, but you’d be surprised how much your handshake contributes to that all-important first impression.

Smile!
Remember to speak clearly, and try to convey enthusiasm and energy through your tone of voice. Smiling helps (really, it does!) Smile as much as possible during the conversation. Try it … you’ll notice that you actually sound very different when you talk through a smile.

Make Eye Contact.
Throughout the interview, make sure you make eye contact with your interviewer. It’s OK if you have to refer to notes, or read something … but be conscious of where your eyes are focusing, and meet your interviewers eyes as much as possible (without going overboard by staring!)

Pay attention to your posture.
Sit up straight in your chair. Do not slouch or lean back. From time to time, a good trick is to lean forward towards the interviewer. When speaking, leaning forward transmits the message that you want to emphasize your point. When listening, leaning forward transmits the message that you are fully engaged in active listening. Also, don’t chew gum!

Mirroring the vocal cadence and body language of the interviewer.
A trick often used by sales people is to listen to the speed and tone of the interviewer’s voice, and try to match it with your own. I don’t mean imitate the person’s voice or accent … but simply talk slower or faster to match the way the other person sounds, and mirror their general tone and level. Mirroring the general body language of your interviewer (which way they’re leaning, crossing their legs, tilting their head, and other broad gestures) has the same effect. Doing this subconsciously makes the other person feel more comfortable with you, and helps you form a connection with them.

Use the “Nuggets” technique to establish rapport.
“Nuggets” are all those little things that you can pick out about a person or a company that you can make a positive comment about, compliment a person on, and use to connect on a personal level with the person you are talking with. When done correctly, using “Nuggets” in an interview can increase your chances of success and cast you in a more favorable light. Everyone loves to hear compliments … and it’s simply human nature for someone to be attracted to someone else who says complimentary things about them, and who seems impressed with them. [For more on this powerful interview technique, read: “Nuggets: A Secret Interviewing Technique.”]

Projecting a Positive Attitude is a critical key.
Concentrate on projecting positive energy and enthusiasm. Try to express passion for your work, a sense of humor, and a genuine aura of optimism. Those are the qualities that make a person attractive to others. It’s nearly impossible to fake those qualities, and frankly it’s one of the main reasons people get hired. Being able to convey a positive attitude is critical. [For more on this, read: “The Power of a Positive Attitude.”]

Questions, Questions, Questions.
There are literally hundreds of different questions that interviewers might ask, depending on the position of the interviewer, and their interview style. I do not intend to list specific questions and how to answer them here. A simple Google Search on “Interview Questions” will take you to dozens of great websites that go into great detail on that topic. I will say that the most common thing you’ll hear from almost every interviewer near the beginning of your meeting is some variation of: “Tell me about yourself.” Answering that is pretty basic, and also fairly critical. Don’t ask “where should I begin” – a sure sign of someone who needs to be spoon-fed instructions instead of thinking on their feet … definitely not the message you want to give! Also, don’t give an autobiography of your entire life starting with where you were born, where you went to school, what your hobbies and interests are, etc. – all personal items to be filed under the category of “too much information.” Keep your answer focused on your professional profile as it relates to this job and this company. Be prepared to give an expanded version of your “Elevator Pitch” in which you give an overview of your most recent and most relevant career experiences, and your professional goals. Try, if possible, to reference elements in their job description, and how your skills and experiences match it. Remember to use your prepared stories if you can. However, don’t let this answer go on too long … keep it well under 5 minutes. It’s OK to ask when you are done: “Would you like me to go into greater detail on anything in particular?”

Be a good listener, and never interrupt.
Any good interview is a 2-way exchange of information. Let the interviewer talk and lead the discussion without interrupting. Listen carefully, and then give thoughtful answers. Answer questions directly and completely, but try not to go off on tangents or “over-talk” your answers. It’s better to give a brief answer, and then ask “is that what you wanted, or should I give you more details?” Candidates often get nervous and talk too much during interviews, trying way too hard to “sell themselves.” While talking, pay attention to the body language of your interviewer and watch for signs of boredom – fidgeting, looking at their watch, etc. – and cut yourself off if see them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve debriefed interviewers who complained about candidates who talked on and on and on during interviews, without letting the interviewer get a word in edgewise! Sometimes it’s better to simply shut up and listen!!!

Don’t bring up salary or benefits … but be prepared to answer the Dreaded Salary Question directly if asked.
Never be the one to bring it up … but if asked point blank what you made at your last job, or what your salary expectations are going forward – don’t play games or avoid answering. You need to prepare direct and truthful responses to those questions. If this topic came up in a prior phone interview, make sure your answers are consistent with what you said before. It’s best to be honest about your history, and to give a range for your expectations (rather than a specific number.) Your history is what it is – you can’t change it, and delaying telling them serves no purpose. And your expectations should not be a moving target … you should know what you need as a minimum, and what range makes sense based on your history. Now it is true that if the range you give does not overlap with the range that they have budgeted for the job you are pursuing, they will very likely eliminate you from consideration. On the other hand, if you dance around this issue and/or refuse to give a straight answer, then that is just as likely to raise a red flag that will eliminate you here. There are simply too many qualified applicants for every open job for most companies to want to deal with someone who can’t give a straightforward answer on this. The bottom line is that if your salary expectations do not match what they can pay, then it’s a waste of both your and their time to continue pursuing this position. They’ll find out eventually, so it’s better to know sooner rather than later. [For more details on this topic, read: “Answering the Dreaded Salary Question.”]

Prepare a list of questions you can ask.
Almost every interviewer asks near the end of an interview: “Do you have any questions?” Candidates are often judged by the quality of the questions they ask … and candidates who have no questions at all might be perceived as having no interest in the position. Some suggested ideas for general questions are: “How long have you been with the company, and what do you like about it?” “How would you describe the company culture here?” “What characteristics have made your best employees successful here?” You might also want to think of more specific questions about the company or their products, based your research. [For more on this, read: “'So, Do You Have Any Questions?' Nailing the Interview Closer.”]

At the end of the interview, clarify the next steps.
If you are interested in this job, make sure to say so! (“I just want to let you know that I am very interested in this opportunity, and hope we can move forward. What is the next step?”) Don’t leave without determining what the expectations are for the next steps, and how and when YOU should follow-up. Ask what their timetable is for hiring, and how their hiring process works. Also make sure you get a business card with the email address and phone number of your interviewer, and send them a thank-you email that same day. If you met with more than one person, get everyone’s cards and do the same with them. Then immediately make a note on your calendar of when your pro-active follow-up call will be if you don’t hear back from them first. If you really want this job, don’t just sit back wait for them to make the next move. You have to go after it!

Seni Menjilat Bos (alias cari muka) :p

Berikut adalah cara2 untuk memenangkan hati bos, alias seni menjilat bos :D

How To Win Your Boss' Heart
(taken from www.bdtips.com)


It is very hard to find a boss as you expect to have. In fact, human nature is so that you can't ever like a boss. Yet, some of us claims they have a very good boss. Well, they could be lucky.

1. Always come at office in time preferably at least 10 – 15 minutes early and never leave before the time. It is always better to see boss before you leave the office, there may be some emergency work which your boss may forgotten and after seeing you, it comes in his mind. --> Jangan telat dan selalu liat2an sama bos sebelum pulang *hm.. kalo bos-nya ganteng, enak kali ya. Tapi kalo enggak, eneg juga ya :D

4. Consult with your boss regarding given work and talk to him for any suggestion. --> intinya selalu menjadikan
si ibu or bapak bos sebagai seseorang yang dihormati, respect. *bos kan gila respect, ya gak?*

5. Never criticize you boss, it will do harm quickly to your ratings that is annual confidential report or your
long waiting promotion. --> Boss is always right, if bos's wrong, see article 1 :D

gampang. Soalnya males juga ngomong di meeting :D

10. Praise co-workers for their nice effort in presence of boss. --> aku kan orangnya baik, suka memuji :)

11. Give your opinion about any topic and place, and the pros and cons of a situation. --> harus mikir nih *sigh*

all he is a human being. --> back to 1st article : Bos is always right! :D

13. Greet him occasionally when time comes specially new year day, Eid days etc. --> siipp laah..!! siapa tauk
aja sekalian dikasi angpau :D

14. Do not forget his birthday or marriage day. Try to give him a gift, at least a pen or at story book. It will
give him your nice impression. --> tanya2 sama HRD ya tgl ultah dan ulang tahun pernikahannya dan agak modal dikit ya untuk beli hadiah? penting gitu? *anak buah merki*

15. Praise your boss in his successful works and suggest him for the work those you find less success.--> ngejilat
terus :D

My Lowest Point (for this week)

I had lunch with my old friend. Actually she's my good friend, we talk a lot (we usually talk alot). Then she asked me, how long have you worked at PT. XXX (my office). I replied to her, "It's been more than 11 years". Then she asked me again, "How much is your salary?". I replied to her again "IDR. XX". She said to me,"Your salary is too low. You have worked there for more than 11 years, and you only get those amount". I said to her,"Yes I know. that's why I try to look for new job. I have tried, but it's not easy to get new job". Then she said to me,"No, It's not hard to find new job. It's easy". Well, she is easy to find jobs. Actually she just got new job. "I will find a new job again after delivering baby". Now she's pregnant, 5 months. "I'm looking for new and challenging job. My salary now is IDR. XXX" Okay, she has salary more than twice bigger than mine. Then she said again,"Well maybe your job is not like mine. My job needs skill. Not like yours". What she said it's really hurt my heart. My job maybe not like hers. But, I'm very upset when she said that my job doesn't need any skill. She said again,"Your salary is very low. If you work at Germany companies, you will get twice bigger than yours. And if you work at American companies, you will get 5 times bigger than yours. *Okay, my salary is really small. but don't be too obvious say like that*.

I talked to my hubby, he said to me,"Don't bother too much what she said. Your condition can be changed. Now she's on top of you. But some other time, your salary will be higher than her".

Hm.. well I have tried to find new job. I also studied 3 times in many universities for different majors. I really hope that what I've done and tried, return to me in good way. I believe GOD has beautiful plan for me and I have to be patience...

Public Enemy

Salah satu temen gw BBM gw :

Risa : Td gw ngomong agak kenceng, eh diomelin sama mbak Cinta. Karena mereka ga ngajak Dinda. Mereka ga mau Dinda ikut.
Gw : Kenapa emangnya?
Risa : Ga tau tuh. Kurang respect aja katanya.
Gw : ooh
Risa : Jangan ngadu ye. Si Sisi aja kan punya BB, terus si Dinda minta pinnya. Abis gitu si Sisi alesan kalo BB-nya error n terpaksa pin-nya Dinda dihapus. Padahal dia ga mau temenan, soalnya kalo apa2 maksa.com katanya.
Gw : ooh..
*nama disamarkan*

Gw, kenal dengan Risa, Dinda dan Sisi. Mereka semua temen gw. Tapi gw sendiri ga punya alesan untuk ga bertemen dengan Dinda. Emang sih, Dinda itu agak cerewet, bawel, little bit annoying sometimes. Tapi, gw sih ngerasa fine-fine aja so far. Gw ga pny alesan untuk memusuhi orang lain, atau mengucilkan meskipun orang itu agak annoying. Gw selalu berusaha untuk memahami dan menerima semua sifat dan kelakuan orang lain. Karena gw tauk, kalo sifat dan kelakuan gw juga belum tentu lebih baik dari orang lain. Gw agak kaget aja sih, kalo si Dinda itu become public enemy buat temen2 gw yang lain. Dan gw rasa, ga cuma Risa dan Sisi aja yang ngerasa feel insecure bertemen sama Dinda, beberapa temen gw yang lain juga feel same way. Mudah2an gw selalu bisa menempatkan diri di antara temen2 gw yang lain dan mereka merasa nyaman bertemen dengan gw. It's not easy to pleased everybody, but I try my best to be the nice one :).

Seorang teman gw pernah ngomong ke gw :

"Negara yang maju itu, sebagian besar penduduknya berwiraswasta mendirikan perusahaan. Sehingga pemerintah tunduk pada rakyatnya."


*gw lupa ngomongnya kayak gimana, yang gw tangkep ya seperti yang di atas. Secara garis besar seperti itulah*

Gw berfikir, kalau saja Indonesia seperti negara tersebut. Rakyatnya maju, mempunyai andil besar di negaranya sendiri, sehingga pemerintah tunduk pada mereka. Maka pemerintah bersih dari korupsi, segala keinginan rakyat diikutin. Coba aja kita lihat di negara Jepang, gimana suara para petani sangat didengarkan oleh pemerintah. Oleh karena itu, gw sangat mendukung enterpreneurship (atau kewiraswastaan). Ketika banyak pemuda2 Indonesia membuka usaha sendiri, membuat produk sendiri, membuat usaha jasa, dan lain2. Oleh karena itu, gw sangat cinta produk Indonesia. Gw suka membeli dan memakai produk2 dalam negeri, baju,sepatu, tas. Gw juga memeriksakan diri di RS yang ada di Indonesia, dokter2 orang Indonesia. Karena gw percaya, Indonesia akan jadi negara yang maju seperti negara2 maju lainnya, ketika rakyatnya sangat mencintai Indonesia, apa yang dihasilkan oleh orang2 di Indonesia, keindahan alam Indonesia, dan hal2 yang berbau Indonesia lainnya.

Banyak orang yang sangat bangga ketika dia memakai produk bermerk dari luar negeri, namun mereka malu kalau mempromosikan produk dalam negeri. Katanya, ah ga level!. Produk Indonesia jelek, ga kuat, ga tahan lama. Kalo produk luar itu kuat, bagus, tahan lama, jadi bisa untuk investasi juga. Padahal, tidak semua barang bermerk itu kuat dan bagus loh! Contoh nih, gw punya tas GUCCI (asli ya). Gw suka pake tas ini, soalnya besar, jadi bisa masuk segala macem barang di dalamnya. Ketika gw lagi pake tas tersebut, eh.. talinya copot, tidak kuat menahan beban. Produk Indonesia juga banyak kok yang bagus, kuat dan tahan lama.

Banyak orang yang lebih senang untuk berobat di luar negeri, soalnya katanya dokter2 di Indonesia banyak yang malpraktek. Gw sebagai pengguna setia dokter2 di dalam negeri, selain biaya kalo berobat ke luar negeri mahal juga yak :(. Kata orang dokter2 di Indonesia itu matre, mau duitnya aja, komersil, ga ahli, sering malpraktek, bla bla bla.. Mungkin ada dokter2 yang seperti itu, tapi jangan memukul rata semua sama. Karena tidak semua dokter di Indonesia seperti itu. Adek gw meninggal di Singapura, setelah dirawat selama seminggu di sana. Dokter di Singapura mengatakan, kalo adek gw meninggal karena DBD alias Demam Berdarah. Keponakannya teman gw, sakit DBD juga. Ponakannya itu masih kecil, umur 5 tahun. Ketika masuk RS,trombositnya sudah turun drastis, bibirnya udah biru, kulitnya juga udah pucat, dirawat di UGD. Namun Alhamdulillah, setelah dirawat di RS yang ada di Indonesia, Alhamdulillah sehat kembali. Bukannya gw bilang kalo dokter di Singapura itu melakukan malpraktek ya, gw sih pengennya Positive Thinking. I believe that they have done the best thing that they could do. Mungkin apa yang terjadi sudah takdir dari TUHAN. Masalah dokter dan RS komersil. Gw inget waktu nenek gw dirawat hampir sebulan di RS. Carolus dan akhirnya meninggal. Ketika nenek gw sudah meninggal, nyokap gw mau langsung ngurus biaya rumah sakit. Tapi suster2 di RS bilang,"Ga usah dipikirin dulu bu biaya RS-nya, sekarang urusin aja dulu mayatnya, pemakamannya. Nanti kalau sudah selesai baru ke sini lagi". Subhanallahu, mulia banget ya.

Gw sangat mencintai Indonesia, begitu pun orang2nya. Gw lebih suka produk lokal, daripada buley, Japanese, Korea, Arab, India, atau orang2 yang berasal dari negara lain. Gw juga sangat mencintai keindahan alam Indonesia.

Gw kerja di perusahaan Jepang udah 11 tahun. Jepang adalah salah satu negara maju di Asia. Semakin lama gw bekerja di perusahaan ini, semakin gw mencintai Indonesia. Gw belajar, bagaimana orang Jepang itu sangat cinta dan bangga pada negaranya. Bagaimana mereka sangat menghargai dan mempercayai orang Jepang lainnya. Perusahaan gw lebih senang bertransaksi dengan perusahaan sesama Jepang. Mereka lebih senang melakukan bisnis dengan perusahaan Jepang, meskipun harganya jauh lebih mahal daripada perusahaan lokal. Contoh : Perusahaan gw beli sofa untuk kantor. Mereka beli dari toko perusahaan Jepang juga. Padahal sofa itu bahannya biasa aja, menurut gw jelek, warnanya orange jreng, tapi harganya 5x daripada sofa yang ditawarkan oleh perusahaan lokal. Atau nih, perusahaan gw lebih suka beli ATK, keperluan kantor dari perusahaan Jepang juga, yang harganya 2x lipat daripada harga yang ditawarkan dari perusahaan lokal. Meskipun, ATK-nya qualitasnya lebih rendah, barang2nya juga sering telat. Selain itu, perusahaan gw mau membayar 10x lebih mahal + fasilitas yang lengkap dari supir, mobil, rumah, sekolah anak, sampai biaya pembantu, untuk pegawai orang Jepang yang sebenernya tidak lebih pintar daripada orang Indonesia. Jadi, gw ngerasa bertahun2 kerja di perusahaan Jepang, gw ya ga dianggap. Tapi kalau gw punya darah keturunan Jepang, warga negara Jepang, keadaannya berbeda berbalik 180 derajat.

Gw pengen Indonesia maju, jadi negara yang kuat, terpandang di dunia. Oleh karena itu, yuk kita sama2 mencintai Indonesia se-maksimal mungkin. Paling tidak, tunjukkan kalau kita bangga menjadi bagian dari rakyat Indonesia. Kita dukung segala sesuatu yang dilakukan oleh orang Indonesia (mendukung hal2 yang baik ya). Karena, kalau bukan kita yang mencintai Indonesia, siapa lagi?. Jangan mau dijajah sama orang asing, berabad2 lamanya, sampai hari ini. President Director perusahaan gw pernah ngomong ke pegawai2nya (termasuk gw) ketika kami lunch bareng :

"Indonesia ini adalah pangsa pasar yang bagus. Kesempatan bisnis di Indonesia masih terbuka lebar. Penduduk Indonesia, mempunyai daya beli yang besar, oleh karena itu kami datang berinvestasi di sini. Makanya banyak Seven Eleven, Motor2 Jepang, dan lain2. Di negara kami, penduduknya kebanyakan orang tua. Oleh karena itu, susah untuk menawarkan barang di Jepang. Oleh karena itu, kami membidik pasar Indonesia, yang banyak kaum pemudanya, yang daya belinya masih bagus".


Kalau saja penduduk Indonesia mencintai Indonesia, produk2 Indonesia. Tentu kita akan sangat kuat. Apabila pangsa pasar yang sangat besar yang ada di Indonesia, dimanfaatkan oleh pengusaha2 Indonesia. Dan rakyat Indonesia mencintai produk dan pelayanan jasa perusahaan Indonesia. InshaALLAH, gw yakin kita pasti akan jadi negara yang kuat dan maju menandingin negara2 asing lainnya. Ayo kita maju bersama!. Untuk kita juga kok :)
