I think, today is my starting point

I just arrived at Jakarta 11.30 pm last night. It’s quite hard because of the heavy rain along the Cipularang road. I rode travel and taxi.

Monday. Today is my 11th day work in Jakarta. I haven’t done some heavy works. Be glad today I am aware that I should be the one who is familiar with some tools. Many heavy books… many english version of books, computer and telecommunication acronym vocabulary. Frankly, it is confusing. Yeah, it is totally new for me.

Be glad and be confused is the main of the day.

I have another opportunity. But, I don’t know… is it my life path? hopefully, I am not the one who is wrong to choose.

Cinta itu…

cinta itu tidak hanya menerima sang kekasih apa adanya,
cinta itu tidak hanya membanggakan kelebihan sang kekasih.
tetapi cinta itu MENCINTAI kekurangannya
karena tanpa itu, kita bagaikan membangun rumah tanpa pondasi, akan mudah rusak ditelan badai.

cinta itu tidak hanya sabar, karena sabar bagi manusia ada habisnya
hanya cinta penuh bijak akan membawa kita ke gerbang kesabaran sejati.

cinta itu tidak cemburu buta
karena cemburu buta lahir dari kesalahpahaman,
maka. aku pikir.
cinta itu harus penuh dengan kejujuran
karena dengan kejujuran, cinta akan kuat.

satu lagi,
cinta itu penuh berkat,
karena Tuhan menghendakinya sebagai anugerah yang paling besar.

Chinese Phone Call, as a joke for today

I joined a mailing list that contain this joke. Keep smile! Don’t be seriously, man.

Chinese Phone Call
Caller: Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan ?
Operator:Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller :No, I want to speak to Annie Wan !
Operator: Yes I understand you want to speak to anyone. You can speak to me. Who is this?
Caller : I’m Sam Wan. And I need to talk to Annie Wan ! It’s urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! but what’s this urgent matter about?
Caller:Well. .. just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noe Wan was involved in an accident. Noe Wan got injured and now Noe Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator :Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn’t an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don’t have time for this !
Caller : You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator: I’m Saw Ree.
Caller: Yes ! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!
Operator: That’s what I said. I’m Saw Ree .
Caller: Oh ……God !!! !Just 4get it

Psycho effects of YM status, friendster, and facebook

Don’t too much be bothered by that, man! Take it easy. Don’t think too much about it. You can do more than think about such a junk topic. Play with beauty (said Lux!) Play with wise.. and never fed up because of that such of suck.
Remember that you can handle those kinds. (I am motivating myself!)
Be positive. Don’t blame you with words: “Sial, gw hari ini!” but, “Terimakasih Tuhan!” You can see miracle today. You will far away from angry. You will be in a jolly time.

Pineapple Soften Goat Meat

Do you know sate? A barbeque meat, which is sticked by a palm leaf or a bamboo? I have eaten it this night in dinner. My home stay family in Bandung, Indonesia celebrate Idul Adha today. Their korban is a masculine-big-black goat. They shared their meat onto surrounding people including us, “anak kost”. 

To make a meat be soft, we should have some extra flavor. I was surprised that pineapple is one of the flavor of sate. Pineapple is blended with garlic. Another aim is to lose goat smell. Those blended flavors mixed with meat and be pressed. You will get your meat soft. No smell of goat. Without leave your mouth full of meat residue.

What is SEO? Is it related to Google Adsense?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an optimization of page design, content, link, and anything in your web. You can call it in a slang word: web architecture. The aim is to reach good rank in Google search engine.

Have you ever been realized that your blog become a good rank in Google?

It is true that many people say that nowadays is “a crazy era”. How? Some of people get their income only work at home, without going nowhere. Without have a store. Without go to the office. Without graduation certificate. Without a big capital. So, How?

Now, there are many marketing or business online in internet. An unreal business, but the income is real! One of them is Google Adsense business.

Back to SEO… My PSM ITB friend, Uli, who works in Dubai said that, “Yup, the condition is: if there are many surfers click at your blog” Yup, I agree with her. When many surfers click on my web, my chance to make my Google Adsense being clicked is increase. My income is depend on “pay per click” of my advertisement.

Unfortunately, WordPress still don’t permit to attach Google Adsense in a free WordPress edition. But actually, I have registered this blog… since 6 months ago. My income is still $ 0.0. I never notice it. Maybe blogspot can help me. Or, I will change my domain.

I am wordpress addicted

Last three days ago, I bought some books about wordpress, joomla, google adsense, etc. 

The idea is simple. I want to improve my blog!!! It’s quite simple simple difficult  or gampang2 susah… hehe ) 

My friend’s blog, http://michaelhutagalung.com, impressed me a lot. You can take a look at his blog. Wonderful. I can’t imagine about 5 months ago, he will have that cool website. Now… You can buy some wordpress theme, called arthemia, platformate, and many more by him. He established his web blog with wordpress.

It makes me refresh… after such two months I am stressed by many recruitment process. Well, although there are no company hire me, I am still alive with wordpress… and also God. 

Can I learn from you Jubel? Would you like to give me some books or practices? I want to  make some wordpress theme too… But I don’t know how to start??? Help me.

Make your Website hard to be broken… (not broken heart!)

Here is the tips for building website due to difficult to be broken by Hacker. This tip is made by Yogyafree moderator community, Nathan Gusti Ryan. 

Sehubungan dengan maraknya deface atau hacking isi websites pemerintah maupun organisasi besar maka berikut ini berbagai tips yang dapat dilakukan oleh web administrator untuk membangun Webserver yang tangguh dan tidak mudah dibobol oleh Hacker.

Pertama
Pada umumnya, hosting websites dilakukan pada ISP (Internet Service Provider) dengan space tertentu, lalu kita melakukan upload website via FTP atau via CPANEL (Control Panel). Webhosting inilah yang rawan dan mudah sekali dibobol oleh Hacker di antaranya mengunakan teknik SQL Injection. Maka disarankan agar mengunakan Server sendiri dan mengunakan VPS (Virtual Private Server). Dengan Server sendiri atau Virtual Private Server bisa mengunakan berbagai proteksi terhadap kita secara Customized. Beda dengan Web Hosting, proteksi security dilakukan terserah apa kata ISP. Kelemahan proteksi inilah yang dimanfaatkan oleh Hacker dengan melakukan Port Scanning untuk menemukan celah security yang bisa ditembus untuk bisa masuk dan mengambil alih websites tersebut.

Tips Kedua
Mengunakan Hardware Security yang powerfull diantaranya yang memiliki fitur Firewall, IDS (Intrusion Detection System) dan IPS (Intrusion Prevention System). Contohnya mengunakan Fortigate, Cisco Series Security, 3Com Tipping Point, dan lainnya. Dapat juga mengunakan software IDS seperti Black ICE Countermeasures ataupun Distro Linux untuk security system seperti Smootwall, Monowall, Customized Distro Linux, dan lainnya. Umumnya, baik software maupun hardware security ini bisa secara otomatis mengirimkan email alert bahkan bisa mengirimkan alert via SMS jika system mendeteksi adanya serangan dari hacker. 

Tips Ketiga
Mengunakan system yang Stable yang sudah perfect systemnya, sehingga kemungkinan adanya celah keamanan juga dapat diminimalkan. Banyaknya software atau tool web builder dengan berbagai versi terutama versi gratis/ free License/ Freeware, sebaiknya para pemakai memilih versi yang sudah dinyatakan Stable. Seperti adanya BUG pada software Joomla versi 1.5.0 – 1.5.5.
�
Tips Keempat
Web Administrator/ System Administrator harus melakukan Review, Testing, Simulasi secara berkala terhadap keamanan pada Server yang dikelolanya. Bahkan bisa bekerja sama dengan Hacker (White Hacker yang dapat dipercaya reputasinya) untuk melakukan Audit terhadap implementasi Security webservernya. (srn)

A Journey to Jakarta (part 1)

Yesterday I got up so early in the morning. Why? because I wanna go to Jakarta. I should reach the Senopati Raya street, SHL office, at 9 am for a corporate recruitment psycho test. I wanna thank Bryan, my girlfriend’s young brother, who carried me to Baraya travel. He made me get ready up at 5 am.

I hope I will get the first schedule of the travel, at 5.30 am. But, sadly, the first travel was chartered by passengers to airport. That condition made me start the journey at 6 am.

During the journey, I met an old man who sitted near by me beside the driver. He wanted to do a business thing with someone in Blok M, Jakarta. Oooo, he told me that he is a Pertamina employee pension. He started to join Pertamina in 1968 and ran his first job in Papua. Wow, I can imagine that 1968 was five years after clustering Irian Barat with Indonesia. He said that Papua at that time is really lack of leaders. He dare to take that chance and gained his chance to Germany and Japan. He was 22 years old at that time.

He asked me where do I want to go. I told him my destination, Senopati Street. He talked too much. Maybe because of many experiences that he got during his jobs, for 30 years.

I can classified his story into three sections. The first is about his debut in Germany, the second is about his child who gain the recruitment process in Chevron as a accomodation manager, and the third is his experience when take an airport project in Dumai, Riau.

First, he said onto me, “It is no use for studying if you don’t have capability in English.” He is really concerned about alumni of Indonesian Bachelor who do not have capability both of speaking and writing in English. He told me that because of his debut in Germany, he was stressed and felt desperately. Why? He couldn’t speak Deutsch. He felt trouble when he couldn’t tell anything with many people there. Then he studied hard and take some lessons there. He felt it. He don’t want to make all the youngster bachelor felt terrible because of the language. He added that a bachelor should have an added value, including capability in English.

The second, his child, 37 years old man. He is a manager of Hotel in Mulia. His salary is IDR 11 million a month. Then he apply to Chevron which has many facilities and good salary. He is still in a medical check up test. He is an NHI alumni who continued his study abroad. I think, he is an extraordinary child because all his siblings are state employee (PNS). He dares to be different.

The third, this old man ever handled an airport project in Dumai. At that time, Pak Harto and Bu Tien would visit some oil field in Dumai. He got an assignment letter. He was surprised because of the unmatched job. It was not relevant to his background, mechanical engineering. But, the general manager took his potency in leadership. Finally, he could do it. He said that he ever seek many things such as bath and toilet equipments for Bu Tien which was not available in Dumai. He went to Jakarta, Singapore, and many places. Sadly, Bu Tien didn’t use it. Moreover, Pak Harto and Bu Tien went there by chopper. Is it useless?

Frankly, I was so worried of the late time. It was 9 am, and I was still in Gatot Subroto. The transportation was really crowded. Fortunately, I have a telephone number of SHL. I called Mbak Francis, an SHL team. She wanted to wait for my arrival. Thank God.

I reach that place by ojek (bike). I think IDR 10 thousand was so expensive. But, I asked the receptionist of SHL, IDR 10 thousand is usual. I cannot imagine if I live here, Jakarta.

Story from Listening to K-Lite FM

This is the story that I want to share. I have listened to the radio, K-Light FM K-Lite FM this afternoon.
It came from Andri Wongso… I will tell you in bahasa Indonesia.

17 November 2008
Pada suatu waktu ada seorang pemuda yang sedang melamar pekerjaan ke sebuah perusahaan besar. Pemuda itu sudah melewati tahap tes pendahuluan, dan tinggal tahap wawancara dengan direktur perusahaan tersebut. Direktur tersebut menanyai pemuda itu. “Hai anak muda, apa cita-cita kamu?”
“Saya memiliki cita-cita duduk sebagai direktur seperti Bapak,” kata pemuda itu.
“Kamu tahu anak muda, untuk bisa menjadi seperti saya harus disertai dengan perjuangan keras dan tidak mudah?”
Pemuda itu mengangguk pertanda setuju.
“Apa pekerjaan orang tuamu, anak muda?” tanya direktur itu.
“Ayah saya telah meninggal sejak saya kecil. Saya dibesarkan oleh ibu saya, yang pekerjaannya berdagang,” jawab anak muda itu.
Kemudian direktur itu bertanya lagi, “Kamu tahu tanggal lahir ibumu?”
Jawab pemuda itu,”Tidak tahu, Pak. Keluarga kami tidak memiliki tradisi ulang tahun.”
“Aku ingin setelah kamu pulang nanti, kamu membasuh kaki ibumu. Setelah itu, datanglah kembali esok.”
Sepulangnya ke rumah, anak muda itu mulai membasuh kaki ibunya. Kaki ibunya yang sudah mulai keriput pertanda tua. Anak muda itu sambil memandangi wajah ibunya. Ibunya berkata, “Anakku, kamu sudah mulai dewasa.” Wajah ibunya mulai mengerut dan matanya menitikkan air mata pertanda terharu terhadap apa yang telah dilakukan oleh anaknya.
Anak muda itu mulai merasakan apa yang dirasakan ibunya. Dia sadar, ibunya sangat berarti baginya.

Sekembalinya ke tempat direktur perusahaan besar itu, anak muda itu ditanyai oleh direktur, “Sudah kau lakukan apa yang kutugaskan kemarin?”
“Sudah, Pak,” jawab pemuda itu.
“Apa yang kau rasakan anak muda?” tanya direktur.
“Saya merasa, ibu sangat berarti bagi saya. Tanpa ibu saya, saya tidak mungkin bisa menjadi seperti ini. Saya harus bisa membahagiakan ibu saya.”
—
Akhirnya direktur itu menerima anak muda itu bekerja di perusahaannya. Ia yakin hanya seorang yang bisa bersyukur dan memiliki cinta kasih lah yang dapat bekerja dengan sungguh-sungguh.

Buat yang masih memiliki orang tua lengkap, seperti saya, patutlah kita bersyukur terhadap apa yang kita miliki. Buat yang belum memiliki pekerjaan, seperti saya, teruslah berusaha. Usaha sendiri juga bagus. Pekerjaan itu jodoh. Teruslah berusaha untuk mencari jodoh itu. Hehe.

Terima kasih buat Radio HP LG KG200 yang menemani saya menghabiskan malam selasa ini.
Tomorrow I will go to Jakarta, for psychotest, early in the morning. Hope it will be successful.

I am Yours, kind a beat song

I like I am Yours song. it’s beatful and light, also easy listening. The lyrics is also powerful. Here is the lyrics.

I am Yours

Well you done done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to get you but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I’m trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my bestest
Nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We’re just one big family
And It’s our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

Scooch on closer dear
And i will nibble your ear

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I’m be saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It’s what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m your’s

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find that the sky is yours
Please don’t, please don’t, please don’t
There’s no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This this this is out fate, I’m yours!

After Borromeus Morning Mass

Yeah, I was late for a moment.

I followed the Mass, one positive things that I want to start this morning. Mmm, Hope I will feel comfortable for today, this one of my pray. (Btw, sorry Mas Eko in Boston, I forgot to take a picture of Borromeus Church. Tomorrow I will take it! Do you still miss it?). Another pray is, I hope GOD guide me to the job that is fit and best to me!

Then I go back to my rent room in Cisitu.

Teh Irna, my neighbor house who was caring her child, Ryan, told me about her job. Mmm, I got the point. She is a leader of the event organizer team who organized Medco Seminar by Arifin Panigoro. I was surprised because I didn’t know her job before. Good Luck, Teh. I said that I am interested in event organizer work. You can go to many places and know many persons. She said that she have ever gone to Merauke. Wooo… Cool.

She gave me a book from Arifin Panigoro: “Berbisnis itu (tidak) mudah, ” experience and idea of Arifin Panigoro, The forth edition: “No oil, No Dictatorship!” I haven’t read it yet. But I have read the table of contents, that is not far from the first edition book idea.

Back to the topic of the Mass.

Following the Mass makes me aware I should thank God for everything HE gave. The main words today is “Follow ME! without any consideration, including your family and others.” These words contain high philosophy. I believe that if you have full faith, you can easily reach your goal. Now, I start to take my goal.

Thank’s to my sister who give me spirit words, my parents, and my sweetheart. You are meant to me. I will learn to pray well start from now. Although I am a psalmer for a 3 years, I am not a good prayer as GOD wants. TETAP SEMANGAT!!!

Rainy day, is it romantic?

Maybe many people are fed up because of rainy season now in Bandung. But, let’s see the positive point. It is romantic. Do you agree?

-congratz to Tere who pass the examand good result of practical work- Go, girl!

November 3rd 2007

hmmm, I am not as creative as usual because of the title is like that. However, I always remember this day (31107). One lesson for me today is: Being patient is very cool.

Just the way I am, nobody knows my feeling today, but me. I am happy but sad. I am satisfied but fed up.

Perhaps I should shampoo my hair coz I feel uncomfortable this time.

Mmm, thank God for every single day

Mmm, although there are many things that I couldn’t understand, why my job is cancelled and why I must find other jobs, I believe that there is something behind.

“Menarilah dan terus tertawa, walau dunia tak seindah surga, Bersyukurlah Pada yang kuasa cinta kita di dunia, selamanya”

There are many things to learn

There are many things to learn this week. I should divide many things. Times, life, family, work, and love. Perhaps it makes my daily life not controlled. I cannot sleep tightly, I cannot smile freely. But, I think there are also many people who didn’t get the experiences.

Thank God, You give me everything. That’s all.

Next step. Repairing my mental and physics. For work and learn and learn. (should I be bored?)
