PERKEMBANGAN BANGSA INDONESIA DI MATA SAYA

Halo para pembaca blog yang budiman...

Kali ini saya akan menuliskan beberapa opini terkait dengan perkembangan bangsa Indonesia dari kacamata saya sendiri sebagai seorang wanita yang sudah hidup selama 30 tahun. Jadi, sebelum saya memberikan opini saya sendiri, sebelumnya saya ingin menyampaikan bahwa saya berasal dari sebuah desa di Kabupaten Kampar, Riau. Masa kecil saya dihabiskan di Medan dan di Kampar. Sejak SMA saya sudah tidak tinggal bersama orang tua saya lagi karena saya memilih untuk bersekolah di sebuah boarding school di Pekanbaru. Setelah itu saya kuliah S1 dan S2 selama 5 tahun di Universitas Indonesia dan pindah ke Batam untuk bekerja selama kurang lebih 5 tahun.

Di tahun 2020 akhir, saya melanjutkan bekerja di sebuah mega proyek di Madagascar hingga saat ini. Sebelum ke Madagascar, saya pernah mengunjungi beberapa negara di Eropa dan beberapa negara di Southeast Asia. Kebanyakan dari kunjungan itu lebih ke arah travelling.

Dari beberapa negara yang saya kunjungi, jujur saya merasa tempat terbaik itu ada di Bali. Meskipun Eropa terlihat lebih wow atau lebih modern, kehidupan di Bali lebih nyaman dan aman. Di negara-negara Eropa seperti Italia dan Perancis, saya sangat ingat di negara tersebut sangat banyak pencopet. Banyak dari pencopet-pencopet tersebut yang memakai baju rapi dan tampilan mereka juga terlihat seperti orang baik-baik saja.

Saya bandingkan dengan ketika saya di Bali, saya menggunakan tas punggung di tengah kerumunan orang dan saya tidak kehilangan apapun. Selain itu, biaya hidup di Bali yang cenderung lebih affordable menunjang bahwa kota ini menurut saya adalah kota terbaik di mata saya.

Saya juga pernah membandingkan Bali dengan Singapore. Di Singapore, semua hal serba ada. Makanan dari segala penjuru dunia pun ada. Hanya saja, harganya yang sangat mahal, membuat saya terkadang heran dengan negara ini. Jika seandainya anda tinggal di Singapore dan membeli rumah, mungkin seluruh hidup anda hanya dihabiskan dengan membayar cicilan rumah di Singapore (tentu saja ini dengan asumsi gaji standar Singapura). 

Singapura itu terlalu mahal untuk kehidupan di masa tua. 

Dari sisi pekerjaan, saya juga ingin mencoba membandingkan kualitas pekerjaan orang Indonesia dengan beberapa orang dari negara lain.

Menurut saya, sumber daya Indonesia (kualitas orangnya) itu tergolong bagus dibandingkan beberapa negara. Hal ini dapat terlihat dari kualitas brand-brand seperti Nike yang punya pabrik di Indonesia, kualitas-nya cenderung menjadi nomor 1. Begitu juga di bagian Engineering. Insinyur-insinyur Indonesia itu sungguh sangat bagus menurut saja, hanya saja kita terkadang kalah di 'speak'. Jadi orang Indonesia tidak terlalu suka berdebat, apalagi berdebat kusir dengan orang yang lebih tidak tahu dibanding dia.

Saya ingat dulu sewaktu 2013 pernah bekerja di salah satu lembaga pengaduan online di Indonesia (namanya UKP-P4). Jadi di lembaga ini, sistem kerja kita sudah berbasis online. Begitu juga dengan pembagian tugasnya saat itu kita menggunakan asana.com sebagai Project management platform-nya.

Nah, saya bandingkan dengan beberapa pengalaman saya bekerja di tempat lain, bahkan di negara maju sekalipun, beberapa dari mereka sangat awam dengan pekerjaan berbasis online dan live update. Padahal kalau dari sisi teknologi mereka cenderung lebih duluan dibandingkan kita. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari sistem pembayaran di Indonesia. Kalau kalian notice, di negara kita saat ini sistem pembayaran sudah dapat dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan beberapa aplikasi online payment. Jadi kita tidak perlu membawa uang cash kemana-mana.

Hal ini sangat berbeda ketika saya ke Eropa yang mana mereka cenderung masih menggunakan uang fisik dan juga dari sistem pelayanan di restaurant yang cenderung lebih lama dibandingkan Indonesia.

Melihat hal ini, saya jujur dapat melihat masa depan yang cerah di Indonesia. Kita sebagai generasi muda dan tua, ayo jangan sampai lengah dan harus membuka diri untuk terus belajar tanpa melupakan asal muasal kita.

Seperti saya, saat ini saya masih bisa berbicara dengan Bahasa Ocu (yang merupakan bahasa tradisional masyarakat Kampar), tetapi saya tidak menutup diri dari bahasa lain seperti Bahasa Inggris, Perancis, Jepang, Turki, Arab dan Jerman. Karena menurut saya dengan memahami beberapa bahasa, kita dapat mengetahui beberapa hal yang sengaja di sembunyikan dari kita. Jadi, memahami bahasa itu sangat penting, khususnya di era globalisasi seperti saat ini.

TRICK TO BE NOT GETTING OLD

 Hi my blog readers...


Do you know what is the tips to not getting old?

Yeah. It's by writing. People come and go, alive and die, coming and disappearing... But the things you wrote won't go vanished. It's better to write on hardcopy and softcopy as well. By writing, you will keep alive anywhere and everywhere. People will remind you for long time.

That is why I wrote this blog as my legacy to keeping my memories and several thoughts I ever had.

Beside on this blog, I also have an online course platform in Udemy. Even I am not so productive on that, I always plan to be better and better day by day.I would like to share my thoughts, my experiences and whatever which taken my attention in this life.

So, I plan from today, I would like to share to you about my life and my experiences especially in Madagascar because I am here now...

BEFORE YOU COMMENTS, SEE YOURSELF IN MIRROR

Even we are not living in an old time, there's several people who are really care about what others doing in their life.

I saw these kind of people sometimes and make me really feel uncomfort. I am the person who like to avoid such a mess and everything who is not good for my life. That is why I'll choose the place where I stay and work which is very comfortable for me. I intend to avoid all of kind dramas in life and leave peoples who loves them. For me living is simple as that. Life is not for impress the others with what you have. Life for me is more your own comfortable stage. Once you reach that level, I believe some narrow minded people will think that you're weird.

For some people, they intend to living in a calm place, not working and just sitting at home and even not doing anything unless just playing their phone with non-productives activities. The things are when they tried to compare their life by us, by saying that they are a family people who intend to stay close with family, in my mind I am not sure with that.

Maybe they are just simply lazy by doing nothing and sitting at home.

For me actually these kind of things is doesn't matter to me. But, once they try to disturb my life by their comments, at that time I feel pity on them. 

Everyone has their own choice in their life and each people doesn't have any right for judging.

Just take care your own life and try not to be burden to the people you called 'family' is the real love form. Being burden and still said that you love your family?
So, just be silent and be nice to a man-kind existance surrounding yourself.


So, you all my readers, how do you think?

OUR HAPPINESS IS OUR HOPE

Did you ever feel that you're not happy enough because of someone else?

Did you ever feel angry and got a very bad temptation to spit a bad words to other just because they are not doing what you used to ask them?

Actually these kind of problem is not the other people's problem. This is your problem in your life. Because you put a high hope and expectation to them and you'll ended up with what they do to you. If you never put a hope or expectation, you'll feel more content with yourself.
These kind of knowledge I got from my entire life. Not coming from the book or classroom. This kind of philosphy comes from the long journey of my life. The happiness, sad, anger and empty feeling teach me that what we feel will depend on how big we put any expectations to others.

Do you know why mother's love is always bigger than anything in this world? Yeah... They never put any expectations to their children. They never expect their children to pay their effort or giving them something. That is why they always can give without asking.
I realize in this big world, many people expecting something from the others. I will not looking for a very huge sample. Just look around yourself and you can see several people going with the others just because of countable things like materialistic things. Sometimes you'll see a girl dating a boy because of something, or vice versa. Many things happen in life and only us know well what we are thinking.

I always have an intention to keep my pride, so that I never do something which will hurt that. For example, I never go dating a people just because their wealth or any physical things. Because if I go with that kind of thinking, it will hurt my pride a lot. I'll do what I like and what I love. That's all. 

But the things I'm difficult in control now is to handle my expectation with the others achievement. For example, I expect somebody will do their job based on our target, then once they failed to do that, I'll feel not happy. Actually, these kind of issue should not be exist in my life. I need to be clear about what I can reach and which I can't. No need to consider anybody achievement even we are in team. Just focus on ourself and see us and ourself only. It will be better for our next improvement as a human being.

Nowadays, I tried to handle these kind of thinking.

If I don't like somebody, then I just leave it. No need argue why like this and why it's like that. No point to arguing and explaining the things which is already fixed on their mind. Just move away and do what we like. That's more precious rather than arguing un-necessary things.

TIME is The Most Important Things in Life

 When people is busy to collecting the money or any materialistic things, they forget that they have the most important things in their life.

Ya, that's Their Time. 

They're busy in working, they're busy in gaining more profit, etc. They lost their time a lot. They are not taking care enough their surrounding, family, friends and their partner. Some people thinks that another's behaviour lied on their hard working attitude and their achievement. They are not see who is the people who can spend their precious time only for them. Sometimes this kind of things looks pathetic in this modern life. But, this is life.

Do you know, that each people in the world can have a very good ability in their life, with or without you?
Life is not just about you and you. But when they put you the first, you should think that these peoples is precious in your life. When you said that these people doesn't have another priority in life, actually they have a lot of things to do rather than your life. Several people can't open their eyes clearly about these things and abandon another's effort.

Okay, let me tell you about nowadays situations.

All people thinks that COVID stop everything. Business, travelling, etc. Being with a person who always spend their time to thinking about you is a precious. You can't ask somebody to spend their precious time for you. Most of people will choose money rather than spend their time to anothers. Several peoples will choose their career rather than spend their time with anothers. 

Hmm...

Life is not just about who's people is better in their talk or better in their career.

You don't even know that several people can looks so fake with their life. Acts so kind, humble, caring, religious, calm, etc. The true only comes when somebody has a feeling towards you. Maybe their reaction will be looks so over or weird. But, that is the true. Why still see the fake ones as a good one?
I don't understand this. ^_^

Hahaha...

Do people also understand that the laugh is not only showed a real laugh.

Several people hide their sad feelings through a hard laugh.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING

Hi all of my blog readers...

In this post I would like to share to you about my opinion regarding studying or learning. Especially about learning new language in your life.

Don't you ever hear several people told that learning another's language is not important because they used to follow our local language? If you ever think about this, it's the time for cut off that thinking from your mind.

We are as human have a big brain and capability to learn many things in our life. We can learn anything and all of knowledge is only help us in our daily life. For example if you can speak all of the local language in the world, you can do travelling easier. You just come, pack your bag and just visit all of the countries. No need to bring extra things because you will be able to get that things if you talk to locals.

My family is coming from a small village in Kampar District in Riau Province, Sumatra Island, Indonesia. I've spent my life in several area, cities and villages. I can say that I saw many typical of race in Indonesia and I found all of them do have their own race language. Sometimes in my life I faced difficulty regarding language because I can't speak several language. At that time I feel so curious about what that people talked about. And I also want to know their words and topic what they were into.

Since that time I think it's better if I start studying new language slowly. I lived in Medan area for long time, around 9 years. Most of the people in that area speak in Batak language. Unfortunately I didn't know any Batam language till know. I guess that is my weakness.

After moved to Riau, specifically in Kampar District, I learn Ocu language. That is my parents language and I used to hear they speak in that language at home. So, that language is quite easy for me. After that my life is always moving around. From Kampar, Pekanbaru, Depok, Batam and maybe soon I'll moved to another place.

I believe that learning everything in our life is important. No need to be Japanese to learn their language. No need to be Parisien to learn Francais. No need to be Arabian to learn Arabic. I believe what we learn now will give a big impact in our life soon.

So, from now on I'll try to be more focus in learning several language:

1. Japanese Language

2. Francais Language (I need to re-call it)

3. Arabic Language (I used to learn it while I was in high school)

BIG NO FOR A HELICOPTER PARENTING

 Did you ever see there's a super protective parents to their children?

In this world maybe you'll see that phenomenon and for me it's a hell. We know that every parents have the good will for their children, but they don't realize that their character makes the children feel annoyed to themselves.

Helicopter parenting is a BIG NO for me and if I have children soon, I'll try to erase that from my mind. I want to give children a freedom and a responsibilities for themselves. I can say that the child who faced a helicopter parenting always feel under control and can't decide what they want to do in her life. At the end, she needs to be someone else and ignore herself. 

Maybe this person will be frustating even she never tell to you. But in fact, helicopter parenting is a hell for children and for adult who have a freak control parents. Not everyone will understand this feeling what the children feel while they are under a parent who dictate their lives. There's no right and there's no personality. You'll feel exhausted to be perfect, exhausted to be someone else. And the nightmares will be double if your parents doesn't have enough money to provide you what you want, you need to be super cute child for your parents and everyone who will treat you good if you do. 

Helicopter parenting will kill the love from the children to parents because they even can't see who is she. Why she should be in this life and for what she is exist. In her mind, she is only a perfect person to build a face of her family. No more. Everything maybe just a mask and nothing special.

So, helicopter parenting is a mess.

Let your children growth and being strong with her own strength.

Just believe in her.

SMART FINANCIALLY TO GET A WELL-BEING LIFE

Hi guys...

This is several times I have different thought from other regarding how to spend money.
I know money is not the real things in our life, but it can caused a big disaster in our life and our mentality.
I have shown several family broke because of financial issues, the children and parents fight each other just for ancestor property, a brother kill his siblings, etc.
Lack in financial side also can hurted the children a lot when they can't fulfill their dreams. Like several parents will be angry while children wanna new pen for her school or just need a computer for writing her dreams.
That is why I have opened my eyes about this issues and always think not to put my children under that circumstances. I don't want my children feel pity of theirselves and also I want them being a person who have pride in their life.

I saw many people living under other people shadow and some of them tear their pride just to get a shade under that person's umbrella. This is a big no no for me because I always think we should have our own competency in this life. So that, we will have our own umbrella. It's okay if that is a small umbrella, at least we are living under our own.

In my life path, I found several people who saw a rich man as a high person and powerful person even their behaviour is a reckless and can't call as human being. I ever saw a woman who raised her sons with gadget only and never talked to her sons heart to heart. I saw they count people based on the money that people have and based on the status.

Sometimes in other side I saw people just come closer to you as an ant comes to sugar. As long as you give them benefits, they will come closer to you. Until now, I really aware of these kinds of person and I feel bad about them. We can't say that they are our friends or whatever. I know some of them and I just be silence watching. Sometimes I thought is not fair to be so cunning to your close peoples. Even they are closed enough to you, you don't have rights to using them. They have their own dream and they tried to reach that. In other side, you just come and destroy their plan and dreams with your ego and laziness. This is can't be tolerate.

I have some suggestions for people who think life is easy because they never face it, don't ever put your burden in other's shoulder. It is not fair for them. Just try to smart financially and never be a lazy person who dreams of popularity without a maximum efforts.

A LONELY WHALE - 52 Hz

Hi guys...

In this post today I won't share anything about Civil Engineer.
I would like to share about a lonely whale.

This morning I saw a Youtube video about a whale which always making sound with high frequency. People called it by Whale 52 Hz. This whale is quite often found by a scientist and last on 2014, this whale still detected in the ocean.

Generally the whales will give a sound with frequency between 10 - 40 Hz, but this strange whale always gave the sound with frequency 52 Hz. People said that this whale can't hear so that they always giving the wrong frequency. In the ocean, whales will go with their group and because of this whales can't called his group properly, he is alone now.

When I saw a video about this whale, I just feel sad about him.
Not only human can feel the loneliness. The whale will feel the same too.
Even he is strong and powerful, he still feel lonely because can't found his group or friends.
So, when you feel lonely, maybe you can see this whale life.
He always be alone because he can't call his group.
At least we are as human still can found other person in our daily life. You can't imagine what this whale feeling because can't meet other whales in a big ocean.

Hmm...
This is a sad fact I just know within this morning.

This is that whale...

Trying Make Up after 28 years

Hi my blog readers!!!

Nowadays I am in the phase of trying new things in my life.
Actually this is because on this 2 weeks my sister used to do her Make Up Character for her YouTube content and Instagram. This begin on last Monday I tried to learn how to apply make up on our face.
With her help, I mean she gave me several instruction at that time like which Make Up we can used first and which brush we have to use, I was success to apply Make Up on my face.

But, because this is my first time to apply whole make up by myself, I was wrong in putting shading in my face. I put the black brown shadow on under my cheek bones too much so that my looks in real is more uncomfort to see. At least that is what I feel.

I took several pictures about that make up and I saw the result is awesome on picture. This is several pictures I took during my Make Up Experience by myself.

 This is I made last Sunday...

 This is I made yesterday night before sleep

  This is I made yesterday night before sleep

  This is I made yesterday night before sleep

 This is I made yesterday night before sleep

How do you think?
Maybe next time I can try my own Make Up with more natural looks. ^_^

MY FIRST FLOWER PRESERVATIONS

Dear all the readers of my blog.

Nice to meet you in this awesome time, event we are on the hard times of COVID.
I believe you are all well and I hope we always be.
On this week I start my new hobbies. Yeah... That is Flower Preservation. Or you can called it by dried flower.
Sometimes I thought this is insane because I am the person who always have new things running in my mind. When somebody asked me about what is my real hobbies, I can't call it because I have so many interest in doing the things differently.

Like, in this week, beside working as general Engineer I should be, I do a hobby which is so awesome for myself. In the lunch time I went out and saw my garden full of grass. But in the middle of that grass, I found some little flower and I thought it is so beautiful.
So ya, I took it, and think to preserved it.
First of all, I think will buy a resin and make a resin art.
But I changed my mind in second and I just put that flower in between a book and press it.
In the middle of the night, I am curious how it will be and I go again, checked my flowers and press it by iron. That is like ironing my flowers.

After I saw the result, I feel so happy to see it.
That flowers looks so beautiful dry and it is so awesome and fit into a craft paper.
I have some idea to put it in frame or make a DIY card.

So, maybe soon I will make that one.
This is some pictures of my flower preservations.
I took that pics on the night time, so maybe not looks so good.

KAIZEN, SMALL STEPS TO BECOME BETTER IN LIFE

Sometimes we think we need to do a very big steps to have an extra-ordinary succesful life.
But in some steps, we will stuck on laziness and it will bring us to the deep  stagnan life.

Do you ever hear about KaiZen?
Yep...
This is kind of a good knowledge Japanese bring to the world and these KaiZen approach lead some multi-national company to their successful stories.
Today I was listening a podcast regarding this and it made me realize that KaiZen is really important for our life.
In KaiZen, we can do something which is better for our life continously.
No need to do that for long time on the beginning. Just took couple of minutes on your life for doing good things daily, with the same time and same periods, it will gave you a huge impact on your life.

Okay.
Let me explain it to you.
For example if you're a lazy people who don't like to do exercise, you can start to do a very small exercises daily, like 5 minutes every day in the morning after you woke up. Do it everyday without any distraction and you'll feel something different happens on your life.
You'll feel better day by day and there's a possibility you'll increase your exercises time you have.

These kind of KaiZen can apply to whole of side of our life. For being more healthy, smart, clean, and for girls, to being more beautiful we need to apply KaiZen methods.
Of course cleaning our face every nights after whole day make up, cleaning it, apply toner, serum, vitamin and night cream will gave a huge impacts for our fair skin.

For boys, these KaiZen methods also help us to being more smart and bold as a guy. Reading books/ articles daily can makes us be more wise. In other side, these kind of things will increase our skills and knowledge too.

So, after I realize about these methods, from now on I tried to make my KaiZen Goals. Now I only have 5 KaiZen Goals :
1. I want to do exercises after woke up in the morning every day. 5 minutes daily.
2. Before lunch time, I will do small exercises again 5 minutes daily.
3. Every day I'll spend 15 minutes for learning new languange. Nowadays I learn Japanese and re-call my French ability.
4. At night time I'll spend 1 hour for reading any books or any articles.
5. Every day I'll spend 1/2 hour for writing my blogs or writing my nouvel/poems. Anything I want to write.

So, this is my KaiZen Goals, soon maybe it will increase. ^_^

TRYING TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN THIS COVID19 TIME

Hi everybody...
All of my blog viewers and everyone who luckily get inside this blog.

Welcome for you...

I think everybody knows about COVID19 who changed many things in this world nowadays.
These COVID19 also changes so many peoples goals in their life.
For some, these COVID19 cure them. For anothers, these COVID19 killing them.

Anyhow, these is the life. And show must go on is not make any sense in this COVID situation.
Everything stucks on some levels, and many people lost their jobs, their families, and their life also.

For me, I'm trying to be productive even I am not busy as before.
Many people start WFH a.k.a. Work From Home and try to more productive.
But I saw some funny video always in TikTok every night and some of them doing the weird things.
I guess, that is their ideas to be productive maybe.

I used to see many criminals news spread out due to this COVID19.
Government locked down the city. Some poor and middle income people being more poor and they don't have any choice for strike anothers for get their own food.
Beggars everywhere, pick pockets, thief, killers and many more.

But still, this is the world.
In this time we can see the real human being also.
If we see closely, most of the human is a selfish package of creations.

Okay, now forget about the SELFISH things.

For me, I'm trying being productive in this time by :
1. Re-check all of my work documents
First step I do to being more productive is to re-check again all of my works and some documents in my computer. I'll delete the double documents, checking foldering and many more.

2. Making YouTube Video for My YouTube Channel
I made more videos nowadays for my YouTube Channel YYY Channel. Inside this Channel you can found many things and I assure you will be more get knowledge after SUBSCRIBE it. Lol...

3. Making New Account on Behance.net
I don't know this account will be long last or not. As my blog on blogspot and YouTube, I'm kinda dynamic person who do like to do an creative things in my life. So, I made Behance.net account so that I can post some of my graphic design I ever made. So maybe it will remembering me with what I did in my past.


Hahaha...
So, this is all.
See you in the next info from me, Yelna Yuristiary.

MY IMAGINARY FRIEND

Hi everyone!!!
Welcome to my personal blog.

I'm sure you ever heard about an imaginary friend.
After 27 years of my life, I think I ever have one, precisely two persons.

This story started when I was 4-5 years old.
I believe this 2 people only imagination of mine. Because I never see them again.
And my mom never knows this family also.
At that time I was in my kindergarten school.
All of my friends were not in the same class as me.
My neighbour's kids were in higher class and lower class than me at that time.
So it's mean I don't have any friends in that school.

I tried to make friends at that time in my school.
I tried to make friends with Indri and Widya at that time.
This two peoples used to take my snacks and left one small candy for me every tea time coming.
Every time I denied that action from them, they'll insist me to give most of my snacks to them.
They were threatening me also.
One day, Indri bring her sister to school and they tried to beat me.
I was running so fast to home and scare.
It happens every time.

Their behavior scaring me. Sometimes I'm scared to go to school.
Until one day I saw a boy with his mother.
He is a very shy boy.
One time while I was playing at the park, his mother and he come to me.
She asked me to bring him play with me.

Since that time, I feel I have a friend in the school.
He talking less. His mother used to talk to me.
Oh ya, his name Alam.
He is very white with brown color hair.
His mother is also very white with black color hair.

His mother telling me that Alam's father worked in somewhere far.
I forgot about his father's job.
She said Alam also don't have sister or brother like me.
She said Alam has rabbits and cats at his home.

One day, she invited me to her home.
Alam's mother told to me getting a permit from my mom to go to Alam's home.
After school, I inform mom.
But mom didn't give me permission to go.
She said she doesn't know this Alam's family.

So I can't go to Alam's home.
Every time this Alam's mom invited me, I always said "Later I will come"

One day, in the afternoon time, my mom brings me to buy banana fry in the nearby village beside an army camp.
We cross a small road in between the farm.
In one home, I saw Alam's mother brushing Alam's hair.
In front of them have some rabbits.

After reaching the banana fry shop, I asked mom, "do you see Alam and his mom before in that home?"
Mom told she didn't see it.

The next day I meet Alam and his mother again.
We used to play on a small hill beside my classroom.
At that time another child will play in the park.

Now only I realize that :

1. Alam and his mother never play with any other child.
2. I never see Alam in the classroom or another classroom or at the row when the morning flag ceremony has.
3. I never see Alam and his mother when I was playing with another kids.
4. I never see Alam and his mother after I like to go to my father office in break time. (FYI: My father office precisely beside my school)
5. My mom never knows Alam's mother and Alam. Usually, she used to know who is the parents of my friends because we are staying in an army camp.
6. If I remember this Alam is more looks like a non-Indonesian boy because his skin is very white. His hair also brown color. His mom used to give me a sandwich bread. But I always denied because mom always told me 'don't ever eat or drink the food from a stranger'. I still consider these two people as strangers for me.

PEOPLE'S LOVE

In the morning I saw a dew
In the evening I remember a few
Time's moving so fast
Leaving a question with us

Where'd you go my heart's owner
Except in a delusion for going further
I am a girl with a red cape
Brave enough to go and escape

Oh boy who's standing beside me
We are stronger more than a lot of bees
We are similar like a payment and fee
We love each other and sweet like a cup of tea

People's love is kind of mysterious way
In the jungle which full of day
In the dessert and thrown a dust away
People's love is clear than x-ray

People's love is beautiful like a sky

THANKS TO THIS HERO

Hi everybody!!!

In this blog, again I'll share a little story of mine.
Hmm... This is not literally mine, this is story of a hero for me.

Last week, Friday (30 March 2019), a guy recommended becoma a lieutenant in his army camp.
He is my first love, even I never say I love him verbally.
I share this story to telling you that this guy is very super man in my life.

He is silent guy. Very silent. Even talk to me he will talk so formal.
Sometimes I feel funny while he is talking because of the formal words he said.
His anger is silence also. We won't know when he is angry, except we understand him.
When he was angry to people, he can throw the extreme killing words or be silence and ignore that people.

He is the most wise person in the world.
When I was young, I mean when I was children, he never say no for what I want.
Even he didn't have money, he will give the last penny he had for buy me the things I want.

And the wonderful things come together because this guy married a very clever woman I ever see.
Even she never graduated from her Senior High School because of her family economy problem at that time, she is the greatest manager I ever seen.

You can imagine how wonderful she manage everything to bring me and my sister become a best part of us. This man and this woman has a good based of see the world.
Since we were children, she always told to us that knowledge can save us.
They will do the best thing from them to made me and Yeyen got the good education in our life.

At that time mom always teach me to be brave if I'm not wrong. She always teach me to be strong enough because I am the first child of them and we don't have any boy siblings. So I have to be able protect myself and Yeyen soon, that is her wish for me.

For Yeyen, she is the last child (FYI: we, two people only). Hahaha... Since she was child, she is so special. She is our little girl till the end. But I want she become a guard for herself also. Because we never know our age. We don't know we can protect her until when. So she have to be can protect herself.

Ok, come back to my father,
He becoming lieutenant not because of his army school. He got that because of his loyalty to this country. I can say that because in army, we can got a high position by going to extra school for some level. At that time he didn't want to go because of when he go, there's a chance he will moving to another district. And it's might be worst district in the country (worst mean, in some area there's no have a good school for children and maybe no have a good public facility for family). At that time also we didn't have much money for that extra school.

People said "the effort is always true" is the right things. He will get what he used to be get.
So proud of him... Not because of that level, but because of that love he show us. Not by words, but by his actions.

And in this life, I found a guy with that character also. At age  24 years old, I found a guy who loving me not by words only. I found a similarity between them (father and this guy). The difference is the way he coming from only. But for me every human is same. Mom teach me that one since I was little girl. Every human is same, no difference. Difference come from their character, good or bad.

So I never make peoples in a box, separate them based on religion, bully them because of the colour, or friend or unfriend them because of the things they can't controlled in their life. People can't choose their parents, the place their born, the family they have,,, but they can choose become good or bad in their life. So please for all people who always separate peoples, maybe you can be human in your life because you only life once.

The Importance of Diary

Good morning my blog reader,

Do you know how much important a diary in your life?

Maybe you'll never know until you facing difficulties in remembering something. Diary I'm discussing here is not diary just for sharing your personal feeling like we have before (at our olden days). Diary I talked about is diary for record our daily activities. This kind of diary will remembering us about all of activities we have to do in a day.

Here I tell you some advantage by using diary as your personal note in your daily life :

1. To set the daily target
For some people set the daily target is really important. When I was in university, I have small diary (pocket diary). I breakdown all of my daily target there everyday. After I finish doing something, I'll cross that word and move to another activities. For some people it is not so important. But for me, I feel happy when I saw all of the list activities already cross at that day. As simple as that.

2. To remember your previous activities
Diary also can be your personal assistant for remembering something. Maybe the simple things you have done yesterday, two days before, or last week you still remember. But for simple things you have done in one month before not all of the person can remember it. So, using diary is the best solution for that. You can remember everything and anything by your diary.

3. To be a prove for something
Some people won't believe if there's no proof. In the working area, all of the words will be nothing if it's not match with the written/paper record. Your diary can be the strength prove while you continously using it. Diary is almost same as the proof in many case of serial killer or kidnap or something like that. So, better you keep your achievement done inside your diary.

4. To make your life easier
Do you ever feel like very difficult to re-think about some case which on-going in your life? Mostly people will helpful with the information from their diary. I never make a research about this, but I feel it in many years of my life. Even I'm still young, 26 years old. Hahaha...

5. To re-check your next agenda
Put your agenda in diary will make your faster in making decision to arrange a meeting or decide something. When people ask to meeting or arrange some important schedule for you or company, the good information from your diary will show you'll available or not in that time.

6. To keep your memories
This is very personal. Diary for keep your memories. Just write down whatever you feel at that time, plus photo and every memories you have inside there. Sure your diary can bring you to the olden time of your life.

7. To decrease Skizofernia
Writing can decrease Skizofernia. Reading also can decrease this syndrome. You can read more article about that here :

The Nun (A Review) - Dari Biarawati sampai Virus T

Hi semua pembaca blog ini.
Kali ini aku akan memberikan review singkat terkait film horor yang lagi booming.
Walaupun secara waktu, sebenarnya review ini sudah terlambat, tetapi boleh juga untuk sekadar bahan rujukan kalian semua.

Dalam postingan kali ini kita akan membahas tentang The Nun. Film horor dari luar yang isinya tentang hantu Valak.
Di dalam film ini diceritakan sebuah kematian biarawati di wilayah Rumania membuat para petinggi Vatikan merasa cemas. Hal ini pun menyebabkan mereka mengirimkan Father Blake dan Irene (calon biarawati yang belum disumpah) ke lokasi kematian di gereja tua Rumania ini.

Dalam perjalanannya, mereka bertemu seorang franchophone (orang berbahasa Perancis) yang tinggal di Rumania. Si cowok ini aku lupa namanya. Anggap saja di Andi. Nah, si Andi inilah yang awalnya menemukan jasad misterius biarawati ini. Karena dibujuk oleh Father Blake dan tertarik dengan si Ms. Irene inilah si Andi ikut kembali ke gereja tua tersebut.

Di gereja ini hantu Valak ternyata adalah hantu terjahat dan terkuat di sini. Hantu ini juga membuat Father Blake dan suster Irene kewalahan dan seperti dipermainkan. Intinya ending dari cerita ini adalah si hantu Valak berhasil membaptis Ms. Irene, tapi enah kenapa si Ms. Irene tersebut bisa membunuh di hantu Valak ini. Selama menonton film ini aku pun bingung kenapa yang dikirim ke gereja tua di Rumania itu adalah calon biarawati saja.

Apakah para petinggi Vatikan ini ada hubungannya dengan kemunculan Valak atau apakah sebenarnya suster Irene ini adalah jelmaan Valak di episode sekuel film yang mendatang. Itupun masih menyisakan pertanyaan besar sehabis menonton film ini. Mungkin di review selanjutnya aku akan ceritakan kepada kalian tentang siapa sebenarnya hantu Valak ini.

Entah mengapa aku berpikir si hantu Valak ini mungkin memiliki generasi seperti tahun 1000 sebelum masehi atau 500 sebelum masehi. Jadi intinya generasi hantu ini harus di update sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman. Jadi intinya seperti virus T yang menyebabkan influenza.
Kalau masih ingat, virus ini adalah virus yang paling mematikan karena dapat melakukan regenerasi dan sangat adaptif sekali. Karena inilah virus influenza ini tidak pernah habis sesi upgrade nya. Hal ini karena mereka adaptif terhadap anti-biotik. Jadi si penemu harus bisa segera menemukan penangkalnya setelah upgrade jenis virus T ini tumbuh ke versi yang lain.

Owalah, jadi ngebahas virus. Padahal awalnya film The Nun.
Oke, mungkin nanti aku tulis novel tentang virus T saja kalau begitu.
Cerita review The Nun sampai di sini saja. Bye bye...

CRAZY RICH ASIANS (A Review)

Postinganku kali ini lebih membahas tentang Film yang lagi booming di Indonesia.
Sabtu malam (a.k.a. Malam minggu, tanggal 15 September) kemarin aku diajak Mr. AKP untuk nonton. Sebenarnya ada banyak pilihan film yang tayang di bioskop.
Tapi entah kenapa dari semua rata-rata genre film yang kami suka sudah selesai ditonton.
Awalnya kami tidak ada rencana untuk nonton karena weekend ini rencana kami lebih ke masak-masak di rumah dan ngobrol-ngobrol kosong tapi bermanfaat. Hahaha...
Hingga waktu menunjukkan tepat jam 19.30, Mr. AKP tiba-tiba nyeletuk, "yuk kita nonton saja".
Alhasil pergilah kami menonton film Crazy Rich Asians.
Pilihan kami jatuh ke film ini karena entah kenapa di medsos, iklan film ini sangat-sangat banyak. Mau di instagram atau Facebook, iklan film ini ada di mana-mana.
OK...
Kita mulai bahas filmnya saja.

Film ini lebih bergenre Drama Romance. Kalau dibilang comedy, juga nggak terlalu comedy yang bikin perut sampai sakit nahan ngakak. Film ini lebih mirip dengan seorang gadis biasa mendapatkan cinta seorang pria kaya raya dari Singapura. Nama si cewek ini kalo nggak salah Rachel Chu dan cowoknya bernama Nick Young.

Dari awal sampai akhir film ini terasa banget unsur advertising Singapura-nya. Dari awal sampai akhir diceritakan bahwa di Singapura ini orang-orangnya kaya raya. Lengkap dengan lampu kelap kelipnya di malam hari. Entah karena saya tinggal di Batam, film ini serasa film dalam negeri meskipun yang menggarapnya Warner Bros Picture.

Hanya saja iklan terkait wisata Singapuranya lebih ke itu-itu saja. Ya kalau tidak patung Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, Garden by The Bay, Street Food, nightlife nya dan itu-itu saja. Mungkin lebih baik kalau ditambahkan beberapa tempat wisata unik seperti paket wisata cruise, atau hutan buatannya (Tree Top Walk), atau mungkin bisa diperlihatkan juga negara tetangganya (Indonesia) yang view-nya super duper keren. Walaupun di film ini sempat ada scene mereka ke salah satu pulau di Sumatera, tapi entah kenapa view-nya masih kurang cetar dibanding pantai-pantai eksotik yang ada di Sumatera maupun Batam.

Kalau dari plot cerita sendiri sih cenderung biasa. Entah kenapa kurang ada sedihnya walaupun sedih. Kalau rating 1-10 mungkin aku cuma kasih 6 saja. Itupun karena set nya di negara tetangga dan bawa sedikit nama Sumatera. Kalau dari plot mungkin cerita-cerita yang ditulis novelis Indonesia cenderung lebih punya liku dan endingnya tak terduga. Dari segi packaging movie dan advertising-nya bolehlah.

HOBI MENULIS


Aku sebenarnya nggak punya hobi menulis sama sekali.
Dulu itu pas SMP aku pernah punya teman yang suka nulis puisi. Jadi tuh ceritanya si Via (nama teman aku yang doyan nulis puisi) ini punya buku kumpulan puisi. Karena ngeliat buku itu, terinspirasilah aku untuk buat buku kumpulan puisi juga. The next day aku beli buku tulis baru dan mulai menulis. Hanya saja tulisanku saat itu bukan hanya puisi tetapi juga ada cerpen a.k.a. Cerita Pendek di dalamnya. Cerita pendeknya biasanya aku tulis pas aku dimarahi mama. Biasanya inti cerpen nya itu lebih ke anak pungut yang ditemukan di selokan trus pas anak tersebut sudah besar, si ibu tiri ini kerjanya memarahi anaknya. Entah kenapa pada saat itu di dalam otakku aku adalah anak pungut dari si Ibu Yusni ini. Ha… ha… ha…

Jadi semenjak punya buku kumpulan puisi dan cerpen itu aku kerjanya nulis terus tak henti-henti. Sampai-sampai pernah suatu hari tangan itu sampai pegel nulis cerpen. Ada juga cerpen yang temanya dongeng pangeran katak. Pokoknya kalau di sejajarkan dengan team kreatif dari TV swasta mungkin aku sudah jadi script writer untuk sinetron-sinetron bertemakan fantasi seperti elang terbang, manusia serigala, dan yang lain-lain. Jadi sudah berbulan-bulan aku mulai menulis, hingga di suatu saat aku jadi ingat pelajaran komputer pada saat itu. Jadi itu sekitar tahun 2008 di desa kecil di Kabupaten Kampar, Riau, computer tercanggih yang pernah ada mungkin baru sebatas Komputer Pentium II. Nah, jam pelajaran computer menjadi salah satu pelajaran favorit untukku karena aku bisa mengetik cerpen dan puisi yang aku miliki. Hanya saja, saat itu butuh 1 disket untuk menyimpan 1 file dari data yang aku buat. Sedangkan disket itu harganya dapat dibilang mahal untuk ukuran anak SMP. Jadilah menulis di buku tulis menjadi suatu keharusan.

Di tahun ketiga SMP, aku sempat meminta dibelikan komputer kepada ayah dan ibuku. Waktu itu yang punya komputer di daerah kami hanya 1 orang dan itupun disewakan untuk umum. Biasanya di hari libur aku ke toko yang menyewakan komputer itu, kemudian aku mengetik cerpen dan mulai mengeprint hasil ketikan tersebut. Tanpa di save. Hasil print itu lebih dari cukup. Kemudian, sejak saat itu aku mulai memiliki buku kumpulan karya, ada itu cerpen, puisi. Hanya saja karyanya tidak dapat dipublikasikan karena masih banyak unsur-unsur alay di dalamnya.

Nah, pas aku masuk SMA, orang tuaku membelikan aku laptop. Bersama laptop itulah aku memulai menulis. Kali ini tulisan di buku kumpulan karya tidak lagi menerima cerpen, melainkan hanya puisi. Sedangkan untuk cerpen dan novel aku sudah mulai menulisnya di dalam file. Bersama laptop TOSHIBA itu juga aku mulai memiliki novel pertamaku. Aku mulai menulis dan menulis. Hingga pernah suatu malam aku hanya duduk, menulis, berbaring 5 menit, menulis lagi dan begitu seterusnya. Hingga esok paginya ujian Fisika aku mendapat nilai 55. Ketika guruku bertanya kenapa nilaiku bisa begini, aku cuma bilang kalau malam sebelumnya aku tidak belajar melainkan menulis cerpen. Ada raut kesal sepertinya di wajah bu guru Fisika, tapi apalah dayaku yang sedikit berbeda.
Hingga sebelum aku lulus, salah satu sahabatku bilang, “Ye, kau tetap menulis ya”.

Dan aku tetap akan menulis, tidak sekarang mungkin nanti. Tapi jika kau baca blog ini, kau bisa lihat aku tetap menulis. 😊

Ini tulisan khusus buat Mrs. S.
