The Best Day Ever in My Life

This is my first-real-time blog I write because what I wanna tell you is just happen today. I usually write a story in this blog after several days later or even several months.

Why so sudden I want to write today event or I call it The Best Day Ever in My Life - very special moment in my life because I don't wanna miss a thing, even the small one to tell you. I am really happy and feel blessed today. Nothing I can say but many many thanks for those special people in my life and also thanks God that I have good karma to meet those people.

Monday, 30 January 2011.
I and my best friends, really my best friends in university because I just have few best friends in my university life and I spent most of my hang-out, happy-quality, sharing-joke, important-urgent-sad time with them. Who are those special people? Let me introduce first : Filicia Agustin aka wanone; Elice Huang, Gebonk aka Tommi, Victor Gunawan, and 1 new friend-Pelangi.

Today we are planning to go to Trans Studio Bandung-Indonesia local attraction place (the best for me); it's kindly like Universal Studio or Disneyland for global. I do really recommend this place if you come to Indonesia, especially go to Bandung.

I will tell you the detail :
Actually we are going to TSB on 12 pm because Elice have class this morning until 12.00. So sudden, in the morning the class is dismissed and Elice told us. It is a good news and we can go to TSB more early. So we prepare and have brunch around 10 am in Mie Mangkok then around 11 we go to Bandung Super Mall by 3 motorcyles, where the TSB located. BSM is a big-famous mall in Bandung, just beside to TSB and will be built a hotel in there also.

we arrive around 11.30 pm then buy tickets and jump into the TSB. There are around 20 playgrounds, and I like most is Yamaha racing coaster-like roll coaster with other version. There are also other : Marvel superheros, transcar racing, science-center, vertigo, giant swing, dragon riders, negeri raksasa, and etc. There are also several show in TSB, Bolang and zoo crew, special effect actions, street parade, and etc. Overall, TSB is highly recommended if you asked me place to visit in Bandung when you are people around 40 year-old or family who bring kids to have fun. I play most of them and very very happy.

I play until around 8pm then we have our dinner out side TSB and BSM. We go to Karnivor, western-food restaurant with most of steaks in their menu. It is my first time and I also recommend this place with reason price-delicious food. We have small talks for around one hour and half. Then we go back to our dorm.

When I drop-off my friend, I go to Elice's dorm because she has a gift to be given to me from Bali, but the special moment is I get my birthday gift from Elice and One2. I don't expect/suppose that they are preparing to give a special birthday gift to me. Really thanks so much.:)

Guess what I get? I awesome-lovely-full memorable photo album. WoW, like I wish. So many photos about me and my special moments since I was in university life. Thanks again for you 2, One2 and Elice. I also get a long sleeve shirt with lovely color. They know what I need for having formal shirt for work or formal event.:)

Today is really special moment, The Best Day Ever in My Life - wanone, elice, tommi gebonk, and victor.
Thanks Guys, Best Friends Forever.:)

Chinese New Year 2012 - Water Dragon

Hi, thanks for reading my blog. Hope it can inspire who read this blog.


Now I am going to tell about my Chinese New Year 2012 celebration. Since I entered University, mostly in every CNY I spent it on my cousins place instead back to my home town, really home sweat home town - Pematang Siantar, because in my University, Parahyangan Catholic University we begin our new semester in the 3rd week in January and usually CNY is on the end of Jan or in the Feb. Really thanks to my Mom and Dad, because they have really big family so I can celebrate my CNY in my cousin places.

Short story, I have several cousin in Bandung, there are 2 big family. This CNY 2012, I celebrated it on my cousin new home, he just built a really awesome, huge, homy, great house with its interior about several months ago. I really like it. He is the one who always inspires me, he still very young but for me he has became a success person with great family, 2 small boys. The kids are really very cute, I do really like them.

Actually, in this blog, I want to emphasize about my cousin, just around 35 year-old man. Actually he is really a strict person, sometimes I got scold by him because my lack. hahahaha. But really he inspires me lots, he has several great business and about the home, from small I do really want my own-design home (that's why when I tested in UNPAR, my first choice is architect, the second one is accounting and the result I was being received in accounting, but I do really happy because accounting also helps me so much until now.)

N.B : Last night, I just went to one person's home, I just knew and met him several months ago and he invited me to his house; not too old man, around 35 year-old-man also. He also have a really nice house (he called it villa; and I agree.hahaha) The house is very big also with great design interior, have several bedrooms, and the most important are mini garden, fish pond, and guess it? private swimming pool. WoW... He also has several very expensive-sport cars. He does really inspire me too.

Hope someday I will at least like them, have my own home and cars with great family to live in. Keep struggle and smart working. We are still young and try to grab all our DReAMs.

Cheers. (really so happy)

Holiday in 2011

I haven't told you about my traveling story and I did forget it. Actually it was my travel on 2011 with my lovely sister-Paulina with her boyfriend-Wilton and my cousin-Henny.

I do really love traveling so much. I do want to travel around the world for real and this year I get opportunities to go to US, actually for HNMUN 2012 competition but I extend my itinerary until 2 months more in US to visit my cousins and of course for big holiday (I will go to Boston, Washington DC, New York City, New Jersey, Ford Smith, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Chicago - quite long long holiday and many places to visit. Love it.:))
Someday I would like to visit Japan and Korea of course, then have around trip holiday in Europe. Hope I can realize it before I get old and cannot go for holiday. hahaha... Maybe I need to list many many places to visit in this world. Just for your information, recently I just watched great video that a traveler went around 17 countries in a year. It is really awesome... I can watch it for many times, so inspiring.:)

And now I want to tell you about my eid mubarok holiday, around 1 weeks to belitung- the place where took place as the "Laskar Pelangi" Movie- It is a tetralogy Indonesia novels, it is very nice novels then become film series. The place is very nice so we decided to spent our eid mubarok holiday there.

I have forgot exactly what we did day by day there, but I liked it so much when in the beach. One information that I do really love beach instead of mountain.:P (sun, sand, beach - perfect holiday)

 Wilton - Henny - Paulina - Vin Cent.:)
In the board stated - in english - "This is the place that laskas pelangi movie took place."

Happy New Year 2012

Hi, this is my first blog since 2012. Anyway Happy New Year 2012 although it was already passed.:)

I want to share a bit about my happy new year 2012 celebration. It is different from several years I used to do. This year, I celebrate it in Jakarta, in my new home sweat home, of course with my family (although it was not complete, only with my lovely mom and sister), not only them but also my other big family from mom, my us-aunty (Yek Min Ai) that came to Indo to visit her family and to attend my cousin wedding party (yen2 cie), jkt-aunty (Yek Li Ai with his husband) with her 4 children : Felix, Thomas, Sophia, and Cindy, last not least pekan baru-aunty (Yek Kuai Ai with his husband) with her daugther - Rina. There were lots of people right? I did really happy because I could celebrate this new year happily.

Firstly, my mom cooked dinner for us, quite simple food but I really like the "togetherness" with big family to have dinner together to celebrate new year party. After that, we had delicious pizza - dominno. It is my first time to try those pizza, it was really delicious pizza. Not stop till that, I got delicious ice cream cake - Hageen Daaz (if I don't make spelling mistake:P), it was my first time to try the delicious ice cream since it is very expensive. Really very full of food.

We-kids also played small fireworks, it was not complete to celebrate new year without fireworks.:P
We played it at backyards of our place, it was quite beautiful and fun.

Really thanks for those great celebration. Happy new year 2012 guys.:D
Hope you passed with your lovely people.

Cheers.

My cousins.:D

Danamon Young Leader Award 2011 (DYLA 2011)

Here is (maybe) the my last achievement in 2011. It is about Danamon Young Leader Awards (DYLA) 2011. Firstly, I just think it is just only a workshop to build our leadership ( I do love leadership workshop and competition- red : soft skill, instead accounting competition - because I am not too briliant in accounting, but still a bit smart.:P)

Ehm, actually thanks to God because I got this awesome opportunities. I will tell you about the story how I can be involved and elected as one of the DYLA 2011. First, previous weeks before I know about the DYLA program (actually I have know DYLA from my friend who has participated the program in 2010, but in 2011 I didn't know the exact date DYLA will be held), I want to participate in Sampoerna Best Student Visit 2011. It is also an awesome program which around 70 students from around Java island universities gather in Surabaya (Sampoerna Headquater) to get workshop from Sampoerna for 3/4 days. My university got 3 invitation from Sampoerna, but it is a bit lame for my university to select the candidate by first come, first serve without make further selection based on several criteria. Short story, I was late to apply for Sampoerna Best Student Visit 2011 (hope I can got it for 2012:P).

Then, as usually I always look around my university, especially my faculty board (some tips for you : kindly diligent to read your university board information because there are lots of useful information you can get). There is information about the DYLA 2011 program, and exactly I was also late because the due date has already passed (I just finished my internship program in Jakarta, and back to Bandung several days after I finished packing). Not stop until there because I used to contact the PIC for DYLA to inform me if DYLA will be held again (but she was not - because I am sure they are very very busy) and I called back to the PIC if I have a chance to join the program. Fortunely, I got the opportunity to send my application to them because it was already late and the registration has already closed.

Luckily, I was called by the PIC to inform me that I was selected as one of the candidate of DYLA 2011. 4 days 3 nights workshop and fun together with 20 best elected student from several universities around Java island.

Day 1, we gather in Danamon 2nd headquater for HR in Rasuna Said Road, and around 1 pm we move to Danamon Corporate University (DCU) in Ciawi, Bogot. For day 1, just short introduction from Danamon and we do nothing.:P (Just having fun and share talk with other candidates)

Day 2, begin with more comprehensive information about danamon by one of the Manajer, Mr. Mardi till noon then we are divided into 5 groups (SMART) and each groups consisted of 4 people. I got in the fourth group – R (Responsible) consisted of me – Vin Cent UNPAR, Andy WIDYA MANDALA, RURU ITS, and AYU (ting-ting) UI. Start from here, we play as a team to get the best team in DYLA 2011. After lunch, we had out bound (the most interested part in DYLA). There was 6 point places to play in the out bound, we did really enjoyed this part, of course because it was very very fun and interesting. After the out bound, in the evening we got motivation seminar by one of independent Director of Danamon (formerly Director in Unilever), I actually forget his name. He was really very nice people, down to earth with lots of interesting stories of his life. He did really motived us how to became wise leaders. At the night, we had cooking competition and it was also very fun because we must cook for our dinner by ourself.:P

Day 3, begin with morning sport (but I miss this part because of neck pain and of course lazy to wake up in the morning, red: sorry.:P). After that, we shower, breakfast, and went in to the class. We got knowledge Management Class by Mr. Alvin (the owner of KM plus Jakarta). A new concept of how to keep the information spread wisely in the organization. We got the project how to implement the knowledge management in Danamon itself. I also met Mr. Sigit (Senior HR Manajer) in Danamon. He was really a nice person also, he always shared with us some useful information and history during the coffee break, lunch, or dinner.:)

Day 4, As usually morning sport and I missed it again, shower, breakfast, and we got new project again: business simulation. How we can sold our products to customer by limited material and sources of money (we were given only Rp 70.000 to buy the material and we must sell the product with minimal profit Rp 80.000)
Overall the program is okay, just need more preparation in calling the candidates (maybe due to the limited time and the personal were busy also). Thanks to my team, really nice, great, awesome team, with work smart we can get the 1st winner. RESPONSBILITY (Vin Cent, Andy, Ruru, and Ayu). Thanks for you all.:)
