Be good, february.

Hello! Today i want to share with you all that i am totally happy. First of all, thank to SIM who asked me to be one of their student ambasaddor in this event. As i said in the previous post, Student ambasaddor is one of my current activity besides my participation as executive comittee in Film And Performing Art. So, Basically today there was a special event "A short Visit by 33 Catholic Principles and Teachers From Jakarta." They intended to know more regarding the education system in Singapore in order to achieve higher quality level of education in Indonesia . Thereby, one of the representative from SIM explained to them all about my university from basic. In SIM, there were 4 universities which all of them is the result of collaboration between SIM to university among the world since long time ago. Just a little bit introduction, the 4 university comes from United Kingdom ( University of London ), Australia ( RMIT ) , America, and etc. The explanation was covered from how to apply as student to the approximation living cost in Singapore. After the short explanation, we as student ambassador were asked to share our experiences as international student who are comin from Indonesia and pursing the degree abroad. It went smoothly. Continue to next cluster, which is Question and Answer. They could ask every single question to bring a clearer picture into their mind. The most hardest question that i got is, "Have you ever think to come back to your mother country and distribute your knowledge to indonesian people?" While all of the others ambassador seemed to face difficulties in order to answering this question, i surely answered to her question. "Yes, i will do" Thats one of my sole task to going back to Indonesia and help through education to promote sustainable economic stability in my country. Being actively participated in political environment is one of my dream. I surely believe that vigarous politic determine all of the system that operate in country.. In Indonesia itself, there is a lack consideration from goverment to increase attention in education. It disable Indonesia to provide high skilled labour to be employee by multinational companies. Hence, Mullinational companies will not feel save to put their investment in Indonesia because of this issued. A level of employment will reduce and it will bring economy stability in particular country. I could saw from their face that they're pretty satisfied with my answer. yaay! :) The next thing student ambasaddor must do was to bring them around the campus to introduce and make them familiar with the environment. Finally, the short visit was ended with lunch together. We also did not forget to take some pictures by using their cameras. I should wait till they contact me through email and will ask them to send me one of them :)


Addenda :

There are lot of questions like this during the campus tour "What advantages and disadvantages that you experience from living far away from parents?" "Why you choose take your degree in singapore not in Indonesia?"
Well, in my personal opinion, i could say that there is less difference whether you want to continue your education achievement in Indonesia or go abroad. I have trully said that education system in Indonesia is not working well in any case, but some of the popular university that i knew offering the same programme with the same module as Singapore. It is not about the programme that i take, or even to maintance this belief that people who are studying abroad are commonly rich. No, it is more than that.  From the first time i knew that studying abroad is not an easy step. It is about the wildest experiences that you will get. I learn how to survive without my parents intervention in any decision that i have taken . I independently learn how to cook, how to wash my clothes, how to wake up as discipline as i could, how to deal with management time. Also, i emphazie more in the relationship toward other. What i mean here is how we could step out from our comfort zone and looking for a new friends that will influence your life in your future. I want to make a friend with all people around the world that enable me to enhance my language skil or looking for some oppurtunities to enlarge my dad business operationl. Studying abroad is really decions from your deepest heart. Anyway, decisions never lead us to right or wrong. so, dont be afraid to make decions!

Maroon 5 will officially play at Singapore Indoor Stadium at 25 April 2010- 2 days before their performance in jakarta in support to their latest album hands all over!! I did not waste my time to reconsider about it, i just direcly bought the relatively quite expensive ticket since they just opened their first bach particularly to OCBC card holder by today upt o 25 February. I was somehow afraid the ticket will be sold out and i did not get any chance to see them alive performing in front of my eyes while they are here. Therefore, i asked my friend a favor to buy for me first. I chose the main stage and luckily i gottt the first row!!!! Basically, i considered to fly to Jakarta on 27 April 2010 for one day since one of the Indonesian promotor announced it thru twitter, meanwhile i will face my first exam a week later. My concern was about the time and money that will be spent inefficient , so i cancel the plan. I merely hoped that they will transfer to singapore and perform here. And yes baby, my dream comes true!!! :)

Anyway, the concert will be held 9 days after my 20 th birthday and 9 days before my final exams. I really wish by attending this concert, it will be my precise experience and unforgettable gift that ever happened in my life, yet also my indirect motivation toward exams!!
Is it normal when i start think what dress i should wear? how i should deal with my hair? my shoe?  one thing for sure come accross into my mind that i would like to dress up as pretty as i couldddd!!! So, today i was shopping around with my friend. I found out cute pinkie blazer from Topshop that perfectly suit on me! I could not stand no more so i bought it !! I think i will wear this blazer mixed up with jeans or shorts or stuffs!! hahahhahah. I just can not stop thinking about it .. :3

Smooch yaaaaaa Adam Levine and friendsss! Just cant wait to meet you soon!!

The hardest word

i took this with handphone's camera anw! not bad though. :)

Netherland ?

hello peeps! im gonna share my short essay as prerequirement to get an oppurtunities to study abroad on this summer holiday besides my last education achievement. This study abroad is constructed to those of you who want to spend approximately 3-4 months college holiday by doing something useful yet refreshment at same time. Might some of you think it similiarl like scholarship, well it is not. I still neccesitate to pay up some amount of money to conduct this summer abroad. I consider this as my oppurtunity cost as well. To gain something, we hv to give up something, right? :)

Hello. My name is Febby. I am from Indonesia. I just graduated from Diploma in Economic last year. I take Economic and Management as my second year degree in University of London. My current activitiy is joining student ambassador in Singapore Institute of Management under Global Education programme. Beside, i also actively joined as Executive Committee in Film and Performing Art, member a group named InSim ( Indonesia in SIM) and photography club. My biggest motivation to join this summer school is to get valuable experiences before i am going to be 20^th this year such an greater oppurtunity to meet up new friends , explore newly world where i have never been before, and learn about country cultural history itself. By meeting up a new friends, we learn how to develop a good relationship toward other. Eventually the most important part is we can observe the daily behaviour of Dutchman which is totally different with Indonesian people which is for me it is quite challenging.  I would like to take two subjects comprised of Dutch Language and Project Management from theory to practical which is approximately will take 1 month to finish it. The benefit that i could enjoy such as enhance my language-skill as i knew these nowadays language becomes the significant factor in response to job-competitiveness in real world . I would practice my dutch by directly getting involved with them in daily life to boost up my fluency level . Pracitcal Management will be an approach in a way to study organisation behaviour. A good manager should have known how to plan, direct, control, and lead them to gain common goals both theoritically and practically. Managerial and Language skill are the basical pre-requirement in this contemporary world therefore i want to empahisize more in these two area.  Netherland is very well known of  its historical architecture,  unique windmills feature, and the beauty of flowers particularly for its bulb flowers. As i have special interest in photography and my greater desire to capture those beautiful moments, i think Netherland would be my suitable destinations to study abroad this year. 

Regards,
F.

i love you, mom.

Sebelumnya di blog lama ( yang sekarang sudah non aktif ), saya pernah bercerita tentang kunjungan singkat ke Jakarta pada 4 Juli silam untuk menghadiri sebuah acara bernama IYC ( Indonesian Youth Conference ). Saking penasarannya dengan acara ini, saya merelakan untuk tidak ikut merayakan ultah papi yang tepat jatuh pada tanggal 4 Juli . But, IYC was worth it for. Acara ini bermula dari sebuah ide cemerlang seorang gadis bernama Alanda Kariza yang mempunyai kepedulian besar terhadap perubahan Indonesia yang lebih baik, tentunya itu semua bergantung pada pemuda/i sebagai agent of change of Indonesia sendiri. Acara ini membawa beberapa topic yang lagi in di masyarakat, contohnya : Art, Social Media, Politik, Economy, Religion issue. Secara keseluruhan, acara ini patut mendapat acungan 2 jempol. Bila ada lagi IYC2011, tentunya saya akan menyempatkan untuk hadir bila tidak ada halangan yg merintang.

Sebelum tidur, saya selalu menyempatkan beberapa menit untuk mengecek twitter. Bukan rahasia lagi kalau twitter adalah salah satu social media tuk mendapatkan berita ter-update dari berbagai sumber. Hingga dikejutkanlah saya oleh salah satu tweet dari AlandaKazariza yang kurang lebih isinya "pray for my mother :'( ". Kebingungan saya disini jatuh pada tweetnya yang berbeda dari biasanya dan penambahan emoticon menangis di belakangnya. Pertanyaan saya pada waktu itu, apa yang terjadi dengan ibu Alanda? Apakah meninggal karena serangan jantung?  Fyi, bukannya suka berpikiran yang tidak-tidak, tetapi pada saat blog ini saya tulis, saya sudah mendapatkan kabar orang meninggal karena serangan jantung sekitar 5 orang. Jadi, saya seketika otak saya menyambungkan tweet Alanda Kariza ttg mamanya tadi dengan serangan jantung. Seketika itu juga, bebarengan dengan tweet Alanda yang mengacu pada sebuah link ke AlandaKariza's blog. Heading yang sangat menarik untuk memancing emosi para pembaca, termasuk saya."Ibu, 10 tahun penjara, 10 milyar rupiah". Rasa penasaran membuat saya hanya menghabiskan waktu sekitar 10 menit untuk membaca.

Bagaimana perasaan saya pada waktu itu? sangat susah untuk dilukiskan. Tulisan Alanda seperti menampar pipi saya dengan kerasnya. Saya yang kerap kali mengomel tentang hidup. Saya yang mempunyai keinginan tanpa batas. Saya yang selalu iri dengan kehidupan orang lain yang lebih baik. Saya yang malas sekali belajar dan hanya membuang uang orangtua dengan sia-sia. Saya yang.. tidak mempunyai kemampuan spesial dibandingan dengan Alanda. Jujur saya sangat salute kepada Alanda, Dia masih berkarya untuk nusa dan bangsa. Dia mendapatkan nilai yang UAN yang bagus yang membuatnya menerima beasiswa di Binus. Dia yang bisa membuat acara sebesar IYC di tengah kesulitan hidupnya. Bahkan, pengumuman mamanya menjadi tersangka pun tepat bertepatan dengan hari UAN SMAnya! Lebih parahnya lagi, pengumuman mamanya dituntut penjara 10 tahun pas satu hari sebelum dia menghadapi ujian Financial Accounting!

Tulisan Alanda ini membuat saya semakin sadar akan pentingnya mensyukuri hidup ini, terlepas dari semua cobaan-cobaan kecil yang merintangi hidup kita. Tentunya ini membuat saya lebih tabah dan sabar dalam bersikap. Selain itu, saya harus lebih bersyukur atas semua berkah yang saya dapat nikmati hari ini. Papa yang super baik, mami yang cerewet, kakak dan adik yang super iseng. Satu pelajaran yang sangat berharga di atas semuanya  bahwa tidak ada yang lebih indah ketika satu keluarga berkumpul semuanya. Dan karena hal ini pula, saya semakin merasakan misteri kehidupan, dimana tidak ada seorang pun yang tahu kecuali Tuhan kita.

And before it's too late, i want to say.. i love you, Mom.
I miss your grumble over me when i was lazy to take a bath
I just miss you..
Sincerely,
your daughter.

indoor photoshoot

I was so utterly excited yet tired today! This is my first time doing indoor photoshoot. I had to deal with all the lighting stuff or whatsoeva they're called. Credited to my supabiatch Alvin & Renata, who helped me to set up my camera , and special credit went to my elementary school-seniorhighschool friend Felice Audrey who becomes our vastly cooperative model. So, basically this is just our spontaneous plan because we're supa bored with our holiday that eventually turn out to be one of my favourites photoshoot that i have ever made! I've trully never expected this result gonna be this good, at least it's according to me because we're like totally blind with those stuffs at first. Somehow i felt so lucky to get a oppurtunities like this, having friends who have a same interest and a friend who potentially become our model are just our best buddies! I will share some random pictures behind the scenes to you all.. Actually we also had one photosession that the result will never be uploaded to avoid the gossips around our society! Should i upload it here? :B

Hell,o February.

February is comin. I should've renewed my wishing list asap. Thank God, i got my pola(bear)roid camera that i want since a long time timee ago! Despite it doesnt reduce my level amount of stress. February becomes a symbol that my life will be covered by immense suffer will begin shortly. I will face preliminary exams in the end of this month untill first week of march. But, As of now, i have not prepared my self- like now, i kept busying by doin various activities except studying- Having said that, i gladly announce that Chinese New Year'll come 2 days more whereby i could meet up all members of my big family. I cant hardly wait for cny celebration.

Anyway, i was considered a new prospective project that requires me to post a photo most likely everyday if i were enable to do it. i hope i really make it. The purpose of doin this is i want to know how far is photography skill to capture exclusive events in glimpse, eventually to record and translate it into good pictures. I am little bit confused when to start this project regardless of time-barrier that i will face in 2-3 months ahead. hmm..

 

this is how i enjoy my life! =D
