Paradise in Lihaga Island

Not much I can tell that this is the most beautiful island and white sands that i’ve ever visited. Lihaga is an empty island without inhabittant. Only some people nearby regularly coming to clean and maintain this island.

Lihaga Island

Lihaga Island is located at Likupang, North Minahasa regency and it’s in North Sulawesi province in Indonesia. Likupang is about 1 hour from Samratulangi International Airport, Manado. And to cross from Likupang to the island, it will need about 40 minutes depends on the motor boat being used.

my bos is like my brother, my big bos is like my father

haha.. i luv this thought. Sooner or later it will end.

Most of my colleagues at office are suffered with their ‘lovely’ bos while my department has a leader and a bos as per my subject above. It’s not actually as perfect as it is. In term of tasks sure it’s the opposite one. My job sometimes just like my step mother, but sure my bos will help and cover if i’m not able to face it.

Why he’s like my brother? feel that i don’t have any reluctant. thanks to bos cos he always approve my leave ^^ hehee allowing me to have long holidays while i have to.. nego for my leave, understand all my needs and yahh always treat me and other staff the roasted porks hihiii that’s become my fav now. make a kidding to all of us, it’s normal.

my other big bos,..  a care bos, eventhough a moment he and the bos like my brother made me cry by not allowing me to have a short leave i had to finish a report within that day. But finally after working hour he provided me his car for me to leave and my bos did the job that i should do.. when my big bos offered, ohh that’s the one that added my cry I was so touched ^_^. But the careness not only here, at the other occations in term of profesionalism, both are the best. Always assist all the members at their department. I am so proud to be inside the team. But I don’t like current situation that the jobscopes are not maintained well that’s why overload and the neverending tasks always come up..

Not less than 2 months, in january 2011 there will be a separation. I tought i gonna have another new leader. Hope my big bos will stay as my bos. After the 3 months from January, I have plan also to move out as per my previous plan. I like my department the people inside, but not my current jobs as I mention before.

So now is time to enjoy my last days within this company. It’s almost and will be a 3 year working experience working in =S= and already more than 2 years having friends from this company, some become my best friends. It’s worth but I have to end. Grateful to God for everything. Let the plan from Jesus to happen. Not my plan ^^

my 3rd floor

i just want to recall my statement from by previous post ‘training 2009′ — that it was my nitemare after a year pass. Then I just realise that it is including in God’s plan. I’m still in my 3rd floor right now, and lately i feel the warmness after some people leaving. The relationship between one another become stronger and we do helping, supporting each other eventhough the jobs are not as they are, even jobs are the opposite. This is one of the lessons I’ve learnt.. and there are still a lot of new things come to me, and now im counting my days to see some being seperated, since we will have new plant I will stay as now at the current building while some others of my coullages my friends will have the new office at the other building. I have no less than 2 months and the ‘suasana kekeluargaan’ will disappear?? hope not.

I can say this situation at 3rd floor is support me while im waiting my time to leave also… eventhough im still confuse where to go what to do?? coz i could not endure with this tasks behind ( 

Dear Jesus, let me know soon where you will bring me to my next destination??

tidung island

Then another last day ritual in August, we had my self, charless, desi, desi’s mother and brother..  a great time. Just to spent the last time with Desi who was still in Batam.

This month come to Charless last day ritual. No other member, unless me in Batam. Then it’s decided for Tidung Island, there should be more people to join. and finally we went to Tidung. All of my friends ex Batam were there: Merlyn, Ester, Desi, Pak Binsar, Desi’s mom and additional my uni friends Felix. Danke Felix für deine schön Bilder.

Thanks to Charless for the invitation also to me and my friends cos all of the members are my friends, eventhough one day earlier this vacation was almost not going to happen. Why?? hahaa internal issue. But P’Binsar nego was helpful. and we could come back safely. Maybe becos the pray from them who worried, and overal Thanks God for all.

I started by the flight from Batam. again many thanks to all my sponsor so I could able to join this trip. My plan to tidung actually was canceled since my granma passed away at the 1st of Oct so I had to come back to Manado for the funeral. You know lah, all of the people were in sorrow including my pocket not able to fulfil this trip to tidung  which would be at the mid of October. But because of the force of my friends,.. how to say ‘force’?? the love of my friends wakakakk then i just could say mksih for having pushed me to join and giving me all the free accomodation and transport and it was realy realy awesome and unforgetable vacation.

Ok, continue.  2nd time at Hangnadim airport within a week. and 3rd time in Soe-ta airport within a month ^^. That time was a rainy day in Jakarta as consequence the awful traffic was there. It took about 2hrs from the airport to meeting point kartika chandra hotel. And all the members is waiting also arround 2 hours

Spent one night in jakarta before crossing the sea to Tidung island. In the morning before 6, from Tebet to Muara Angke terminal.. wow we used alphard taxi instead of the normal one.

The journey to Tidung Island took about 3 hrs. Arrived there, the accomodation already prepared by the travel agent. Having lunch and continue for snorkling… night- bbq time. Next morning, see the sunrise. But no sunrise because of the fog. .. so on and so on, then

before take of.. leaving for batam again

Masa training preventa di Jerman 2009

It was a gift for me to get this training. But also become my nitemare after a year passed. I cannot easily leave my current company due to the 2 year bonding after the training. Stress, tired and saturated.

The R&D Team

 

Nevertheless, my faith there must be a big plan from God for me to let me stay until early of 2011. That’s the one thing that cheer me up, also friends that still stay eventhough one by one are leaving, my best frends are gone and one is going to, at the end it will be the only me who stay ??? Oh Jesus, i need support to survive, please.

OK. want to talk about my training in Germany during the winter time 2009. it was awesome and a long story. This page will not be enough. Summary:

Minahasa

Yup.. this’s my hometown.  Tondano is the capital city Minahasa Raya regency. Minahasa itself is wide. Now it’s separated into some regions. Let’s say Tomohon city, South Minahasa, and North Minahasa regency.

Minahasa is different with Manado. Manado is the capital city of North Sulawesi province. It’s about one hour distance between Manado and Tondano. Manado located at the lower level near the sea, while Tondano is at the higher level surrounded by lake and mountains.

I live in Tonsealama, where the resource of the electricity for Minahasa. The district has the main power supply by water. We call it PLTA. That’s why some

Penjara

 

Guys, have u ever visit a jail? Hhmm, how is your imagination about being there. Yeah, I’ve been there for a while. Not living there of course. Just a visit. Ternyata penjara tidaklah se-suram yang kebanyakan orang bayangkan. TahuKah kamu, kalau ada penjara yang layaknya sebuah hotel. Yup. Hotel prodeo namanya.

 

Pada waktu pertama kalinya aku berkunjung di asrama Prodeo ini, aku harus melalui pemeriksaan dari para petugas. Melewati pintu kecil yang pendek, dan bagi anda pria, kalian harus meninggalkan tanda pengenal berupa KTP dan mendapatkan cap di tangan. Yang ini khusus untuk kunjungan ke Penjara Laki-laki. Apabila berkunjung ke penjara perempuan, nah, pengunjung wanilalah yang mendapat cap di tangan (Aku sih belum pernah berkunjung ke prodeonya wanita). Yang aku ceritakan saat ini ialah LP Cipinang Jakarta Timur. Tempatnya Roy Martin sebelumnya. Jika kamu ingin bertemu dengan artis, tempat ini bisa jadi salah satu pilihan juga. Aku ketemu dengan sih Renaldo A2DC sinetron, Ferry nya Alda dan beberapa orang tahanan politik seperti Enriko Gueterez, pejuang asal Timor-timur. Boleh ga foto di bawah ini bersama Enrico Gueterez yang baru saja bebas bulan April 2008 ini.

education vs experience

TaHU kah kau? Ternyata apa yang kita dapat di kuliah belum lah siap untuk di applikasikan langsung di perkerjaan. Jadi, memang benarlah, kalau kebanyakan fresh graduate itu benar-benar belum siap untuk masuk ke dunia kerja.
Makanya, dari pengalaman saya, sangatlah susah fresh graduate untuk mencari perkerjaan. Kebanyakan lowongan yang dipajang membutuhkan orang dengan minimal perkejaan 1 tahun dan kebanyakan butuhnya 2-3 tahun. Malah ada yang 10 tahun kerja.
Jadi,. Begitulaah dunia kerja di Indonesia saat ini.
Untungnya saya sudah pernah magang sebelumnya. Jadi pengalaman magang sangat berpengaruh untuk pekerjaan yang aku peroleh. Perusahaan sangat melihat latar belakang pekerjaan sebelumnya, entah dia magang atau pun benar-benar kerja.
So, jangan salah pilih untuk tempat magang-mu jika kau saat ini sedang kuliah.
Karna aku ini seorang fresh graduate, yaah akupun memang mau tak mau harus ditrain. Aku sadar, masih begitu banyak hal yang harus aku pelajari berkenaan dengan pekerjaan ku saat ini, walaupun bidangnya tidaklah jauh dengan pelajaran2 di kuliahku dulu. Ternyata kuliah itu hanya dasar saja untuk kerja. Im nothing at office. Semuanya pada pintar-pintar ngomongin kerjaan mereka. Jadi saya anjurkan, jika anda telah lulus kuliah, janganlah terburu-buru untuk melanjutkannya ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi, S2 misalnya. Tanpa pengalaman kerja, aku bisa bilang that u are nothing.

how’s life easily change

Aku tak menyangka bisa seperti saat ini. Yaah, inilah berkat Tuhan. Beberapa waktu yang lalu, masih teringat dibenakku masa aku berada di tangah ketidakpastian. Masa aku berharap penuh, namun harapanku tak kunjung diwujudkan. Masa lulus kuliah, mendapat gelar sarjana merupakan hal yang sangat membanggakanku. Namun masa setelah itu, di mana aku harus melanjutkan hidupku mencari perkerjaan guna mengaplikasikan ilmu yang telah ku peroleh adalah masa yang bisa dibilang suram bagiku. Akupun jadi berpikir, alangkah senangnya bisa kembali kuliah terus menerus bersama teman-teman, di mana aku bisa memiliki kegiatan rutin yang pasti tanpa memikirkan hari esok. Hal ini seakan membuat aku melupakan kalau aku telah lulus kuliah, bahwa aku harus mensyukuri apa yang telah kudapatkan.

Beberapa bulan setelah diwisuda, mencari pekerjaan jadi tujuanku. Akupun mulai dengan mengirimkan lamaran ke beberapa perusahaan, walaupun tak ada lowongan di sana. Berbagai jasa job vacancy di internet telah kudaftarkan namaku. Perusahaan terkenal yang membuat aku terpesona jika mendengarnya pun telah aku kirimkan lamaranku ke sana. Awalnya aku begitu semangat apply sini dan sana. Internetlah satu satunya sumber informasiku maupun mediaku mengirimkan lamaran. Beberapa bulan kemudian, tak satupun jawaban yang positif. Aku malah jadi begitu sensitif ketika orang menanyakan kabarku. „udah kerja di mana Hel? Sekarang ngapain Hel? Eh, so melamar di mana jo?“ OMG,

My short trip to Batam – with the airlines problem

Minggu, 3 Februari 2008. Waktu itulah jadwalku untuk penerbangan ke Batam. Mungkin anda sempat menonton berita, kalau pada hari sabtu sehari sebelumnya, ada sekitar ratusan pesawat yang dibatalkan penerbangannya. Bahkan tol ke arah bandara Soekarno-Hatta ditutup sampai pada hari minggunya. Nah, karena mendengar berita tentang masalah ke airport sedemikian rupa, akhirnya sayapun harus siap-siap dengan kemungkinan yang bakal saya hadapi dalam perjalanan ke airport nantinya. My flight was actually at 01.30 pm. But, I had to leave home at 7.30 am. Too early right? Toll ke bandara masih tutup. Jalan yang dilalui pun harus melewati jalan alternative. Berputar arah melewati Tangerang. Awalnya jalannya masih lancar aja, tapi mulailah kemacetan menyambut. Fortunalety, macetnya bentar doank, and I could be at the airport only in 3 hours, not about 5hours as being predicted.

Beginilah suasana Bandara Soekarno-Hatta. Banyak penumpang juga pengantar. Mungkin sebagian adalah penumpang yang terlantarkan. Akupun masuk untuk check-in, tapi tak menemukan counter khusus Batam. Ternyata, counter Batam telah digabung dengan seluruh penerbangan ke Sumatera. Jadi,.. ngantrii panjang dehh.
