Unfortunate Life I'm Living

1. UTS Kalkulus dengan senang hati dapet 80
Tapi di kelas aku nilai 90 bertaburan. Damn.

2. Praktikum.
Like, DUH! Gak ada yang bener! Meskipun Pengenalan Teknologi Informasi udah mulai meningkat sih. I don't know what's actually wrong with, spec. Physics Lab Activity! BLAH. Kuis akhir praktikum kimia juga nilainya 65 dan 62. DUH. Mau jadi apa kalo kayak gini terus...

3. A very high competition!
Okay, gw tau anak-anak di ITB adalah putra-putri terbaik bangsa, no wonder they're GENIUS. But I really didn't expect to be so left behind! Having used to be a high-ranked student makes me sick of this condition. Tau gak sih rasanya merasa bego di hidup kamu yang sekarang ini setelah 12 tahun dianggap 'pintar' sama orang-orang sekitar kamu???

4. The long-lasting confusion of a lifetime.
TEKNIK KIMIA ATAU TEKNIK INDUSTRI?? Kalo TK gw takut gak bisa ngikutin pelajarannya, apalagi anak2nya tampaknya SANGAT SIBUK dan SANGAT PINTAR (berhubung gw agak bego disini). Pelajarannya juga lebih tinggi daripada jurusan2 lain di ITB (kata kakak2 kelas), tapi prospek kerjanya bagus dan gajinya juga gede katanya. Kalo TI, gw rasanya masih bisa catch up sama pelajarannya dan masih punya waktu buat ngelakuin hal-hal lain di luar kuliah (debat, bisnis, ikut proyek, nge-les-in orang), intinya skills gw di bidang2 lain masih bisa terasah. Tapi gw takut gak bisa menyesuaikan diri sama anak2nya yang (katanya) gaul dan socialistas lah, terus prospek kerjanya juga agak susah karena harus bersaing sama banyak jurusan serupa, since TI tidak terspesialisasi. Jadi dua-duanya sama-sama membingungkan!!!!!!!!

5. Masalah cinta?
Ah, jalanin aja lah. Gak ada tanda-tanda bakal change status soon. Masih belom ada yang serius, masih main-main doang, dan belom ada yang bener-bener ngena ke hati.

6. PELAJARAN.
Anjrit lah pelajarannya diajarkan dengan SANGAT AMAT CEPAT dan dituntut pemahaman yang lebih mendalam terhadap materinya. Belajar bareng doesn't really help for me, tapi bukannya kalo kuliah kudu belajar bareng ya? Tapi da gimana, belajar sama banyak orang bukan style gw! Di sisi lain, belajar sendiri juga kadang gak ngerti...les mahal...orang-orang pintar pasti jadwalnya penuh gara-gara 'buka kelas' di sana-sini...susah dah!!

7. Relationship with God.
Entah kenapa tiap solat dan do'a itu rasanya gak bisa ikhlas, lepas, dan pasrah. Aneh. Rasanya ada yang ngeganjel tiap lagi do'a. Akibatnya do'anya jadi ngelantur kemana-mana, gak fokus, dan gak jelas apa yang diomongin. Menjalankan solat hanya sebagai rutinitas tanpa ada kesan, gak kayak dulu. Istikharah tentang pemilihan jurusan juga belom dapet jawaban sampe sekarang.

8. Debate.
Gw ngerasa gak dapet fun yang sama kayak waktu High School. Varsity belom keliatan 'taring' dan 'racun'nya buat gw. Belom dapet sensasinya dan bingung sama masa transisi ini. Belom ada teammates yang ngeklik kayak Ega ama Marini, lah latihan aja gak baleg. Oh, dan tuan tanah is whining every time, rasanya kayak semua yang goes wrong adalah kesalahan gw. Gak ngerti deh maunya apa..

9. Manajemen waktu.
Lagi kosong pengennya tidur. Pelajaran dibuka kalo lagi mau kuis atau ujian doang, akibatnya gak bisa belajar optimal karena ngebut. Kalo ada acara, gak bisa ikut bilangnya, "sibuk...". Tiap niat belajar pasti ngantuk. Internetan gak jelas sampe larut malam bahkan subuh. T_T


10. It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a perfect shame.

Little Things Mean Much

October Sky brings fresher things than pain.

Somebody grew a day older. Somebody reached his legal age. Someone whom I'll never stop hoping for. Someone who successfully broke me down but always fix it. Someone who's been in my heart for these past seven years.

I was, and I am, your eternal admirer. I don't care what the end will be -- if there is one.

Happiness is found, sometimes, when you don't really expect it...yesterday was the prove.

Thanks for your lovely smile when I said happy birthday. Thanks for that familiar lip curve and words "eh, makasih banget ya!". Thanks for opening a nice conversation first. Thanks for asking about my brother. Thanks for telling me that your mom's sick (and I hope she's going to get well soon :)). Thanks for giving me hints on doing OpenOffice task ("yang penting harus taktis!"). Thanks for making me wanna cry, but maybe you wouldn't understand why.

Thanks.

You don't know how much all of that mean to me. You don't know how every single of your word was recorded in my mind to encourage myself whenever I need recharge. You don't know that you've just made my day.

Little things won't matter to you--eyesight, bare touch, or single smile. For me, it's my personal wonders of the world.

I may have said these many times, but still...

I keep dreaming that someday you're gonna realize that I'm here. Through all the embarrassment and pain and tears and crazy smiles, I never gave up hope. I just want you to know one thing, one essential thing. I hope you know the message I've been trying to sent, through gestures, intonation, mimic, and midnight monologue....

I love you.

I'm gonna keep dreaming, so if you're interested, dream a little dream for me. If you're not, I won't be hurt. I can't define hurt if I'm able to choose your smile instead.

So thanks once again, my existential love. I wish you a very peaceful night.

The Cycle

When I was being a newcomer in Junior High School, I always said I missed my Elementary School buddies.

As a first-year student of High School, I always said I missed my Junior High friends, and that I couldn't even survive in my new environment.

Now that I'm being a first-year in this institute, I always say I miss my High School friends and that nobody can beat them in almost everything.

So when I come to a new work place in the future, I probably will say, "I miss my ITB friends!", right? Or won't I? I hope I'll miss my (upcoming) friends, 'cause that means they left important mark in a part of my whole life story :)

--Written by me, as an adaptating ITB newcomer

Quick Updates! :D

Sekarang gw kuliah di Fakultas Teknologi Industri, Institut Teknologi Bandung. Awalnya sih bangga banget, tapi makin kesini makin...hmm... (gw bisa dapet IP berapa dengan keadaan kayak gini?? Aaarrgghh). ITB unik banget, banyak orang2 dari seluruh Nusantara kumpul dengan berbagai macam dialek, logat, dan gaya bertutur, hahaha. Baru bener2 kerasa deh Bhinneka Tunggal Ika disini. Oh iya, toleransi antar umat beragama juga gede banget disini, seneng deh :)

Institut Terbaik Bangsa! :))

Sisi negatifnya sih, hmm... KULIAHNYA ITU LHO. Tiap hari gw masuk jam 7 (haha SMA malah setengah 7, lebih pagi lagi). Terus hari Senin pulang jam 4, Selasa jam 6 SORE, Rabu jam 3. Kamis praktikum...kalo praktikum kimia jam 1 sampe jam 5...haaa... Jum'at paling enak, pulangnya jam 9 pagi hehehe. Pelajaran disini juga, beuh, gilaaa lah. Tadinya gw berpikir gw cukup pintar ;P tapi ternyata ITB gudangnya orang pinter jadi gw merasa turun kelas jadi 'agak bego', huahahaha. Apalagi KALKULUS oh my God aneh banget laah. Dosennya ngajarnya lebih cepet dari aksel lagi! Ckckckck. Tapi gak semua kayak gitu kok. Dosen Sistem Alam dan Semesta gw, misalnya, sangat berbakat dalam meninabobokan para siswa...uuupsss, mahasiswa yaa :D.

Bentar lagi UTS...rada pasrah juga nih, haha, do'ain yaa :)

Oh terus gw ikut Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa pastinya... gw ikut Student English Forum sama Kokesma (Koperasi Kesejahteraan Mahasiswa), pengen belajar entrepreneurship! Lagian gw rada bosen juga sama dunia debat, tapi berhubung gw kayaknya bakal dikutuk jadi batu kalo gak ikut SEF, jadi ikut deh hihihihi (nggak juga sih, gwnya juga udah addict). Sejauh ini Kokesma belom ada kegiatan yang gimana-gimana, gak kayak LFM ato MBWG ato yang lainnya yang nampak sibuk...jadi SEF masih lancar. Insya Allah. Gw sekarang2 gak mau terlalu sibuk unit atau organisasi soalnya belom penjurusan ke prodi, jadi yaa kudu fokus belajar juga, berhubung gw sepertinya akan tetep ngambil Teknik Kimia (IP minimum paling tinggi diantara semua prodi di ITB katanya). Bah... :((

Yaudah segitu dulu deh updatesnya, semoga berkenan di hati, haha naoon deuui. Ntar kalo mood nulisnya udah balik mudah2an gw bisa nulis panjang2 lagi deh hasil kontemplasi. Siippooo. Stay in touch with my blog yaa, thanks! :)

Realis Terpercaya!

Gara-gara liat notes orang-orang tentang tipe kepribadian, aku jadi pengen ikut tes kepribadian di salah satu situs yang disebutin orang-orang itu. Lumayan bener sih kalo kata aku, tapi ada juga beberapa yang hmm ga tau ya haha.

Yang tertarik bisa coba-coba di sini

Kalo udh baca komen-komen yaa, hehehe :D

*maaf ya kalo nge-tagnya random banget hahaha*


Realis Terpercaya

Tipe Realis Terpercaya rendah hati dan sangat memikirkan tanggung jawab. Mereka cermat, pendiam, dan menuntut. Sifat mereka yang paling menonjol adalah dapat diandalkan dan mereka akan selalu berusaha memenuhi janji yang pernah mereka lontarkan. Tipe Realis Terpercaya adalah orang-orang yang cenderung tidak banyak bicara dan serius, mereka tidak banyak bicara namun pendengar yang baik. Kadang-kadang mereka kelihatan pendiam dan menjaga jarak bagi mereka yang belum kenal walaupun biasanya mereka memiliki kejenakaan dan semangat yang tinggi. Kekuatan mereka adalah ketelitian, rasa keadilan yang tinggi, kegigihan yang hampir menuju keras kepala, (HAHA) , dan sikap pragmatis, penuh semangat, dan tekad. Tipe Realis Terpercaya tidak pernah ragu ketika sesuatu harus dilakukan. Mereka melakukan apa yang perlu tanpa mengumbar kata-kata.

Jenis kepribadian ini tidak hanya berharap banyak pada diri sendiri namun juga pada orang lain. Begitu tipe Realis Terpercaya menetapkan diri pada sesuatu, sulit membujuk mereka untuk berpaling. Mereka tidak suka mempertaruhkan sesuatu. Merencanakan berarti keamanan bagi tipe Realis Tepercaya, begitu juga halnya dengan keteraturan dan disiplin. Mereka tidak keberatan menghormati otoritas dan hirarki namun tidak suka mendelegasikan tugas. Mereka yakin orang lain tidak akan mengerjakannya sesungguh-sungguh mereka (HMMMM HAHA). Di posisi manajemen, mereka sangat berorientasi pada tugas – mereka memastikan semuanya dikerjakan dengan baik; namun demikian, mereka tidak terlalu berminat menjalin hubungan pribadi dalam lingkungan pekerjaan minat-minat aja kok huehe .

Dalam hubungan asmara, tipe Realis Tepercaya juga amat tepercaya. Sebagai pasangan, mereka dapat dipercaya dan konsisten, seimbang dan berpikir dengan akal sehat ('seimbang'nya tiap orang kan beda-beda). Keamanan dan kestabilan sangat penting bagi mereka. Mereka nyaris tidak punya waktu untuk bermewah-mewah dan main-main. Siapa pun yang mendapatkan mereka sebagai teman atau pasangan dapat mengandalkan mereka seumur hidup (Ya jangan ngandelin terus dong cape atuh). Namun demikian, butuh cukup banyak waktu bagi tipe Realis Terpercaya untuk memasuki suatu hubungan asmara atau pertemanan. Mereka tidak terlalu membutuhkan kontak sosial (oh ya? masa?); oleh karena itu mereka sangat cermat ketika memilih pasangan dan teman dan membatasi diri dengan lingkaran kecil namun eksklusif (gak segitunya juga sih) yang sesuai dengan tuntutan tinggi mereka. Mereka cenderung menunjukkan keakraban mereka kepada orang-orang yang penting bagi mereka dengan tindakan – pasangan mereka sebaiknya tidak mengharapkan deklarasi cinta yang romantis wah? kok ekstrim?.

Reliable Realist: Love

You are not characterized in your type description as “reliable” for nothing! It describes you as a person as well as a partner. Stability, reliability, fidelity, and security are those traits you expect from your love relationship (and which you contribute to a rich measure). If you have promised something to somebody, your word is your bond, come what may. You are one of the most honest personality types and one of the most predictable ones (in a positive sense!).

With you, one always knows that you mean what you say, and that you will stick with it, regardless what happens. If one can justifiably describe a type as the tower of strength for his/her partner, then it’s you. Intrigues, cunning, sneakiness, or even lack of openness are just as foreign to you in your love relationship as in the rest of your life. Since you are very much aware that your expectations of your partner cannot be met by just anybody, you can procrastinate for quite some time until you decide on someone, and not get involved head over heels with a love relationship even then. For that, you are too careful, and deal with your own feelings - and the ones of others - with too much respect.

You are the most conservative of all types, and feel bound by traditional values and institutions. For you, that also includes marriage and beginning a family. Temporary affairs are not for you, and you don’t know flightiness and inconsistency. You can’t imagine just flirting. In the long run, you would not be happy in a relationship without a commitment. You assume a great responsibility if you engage in a relationship for life and you tend to see yourself as the provider in the relationship. Material security is very important to you, and in order to offer it to your partner and your family, you work hard and often. It is very possible that you are most comfortable in a relationship with the “traditional” role allocation.

Reliable Realist: Career

As a Reliable Realist you belong to the introverted personality types. You don’t appreciate too much commotion around you preferring to work relatively independently of others. You need to give yourself plenty of time to work in peace and deal with your projects thoroughly and intensely. Your ability to concentrate is exceptionally high and if you are interested in something you can truly immerse yourself forgetting everything around you. Very strongly team-oriented professional fields, or employment where your concentration is continuously disturbed, or your work is disrupted, are not really for you. It is just too important to you to complete your projects really well.

One or two colleagues who are on your wavelength or possibly a small group of like-minded colleagues are the most you need. Too many people are stressful to you because the emotionality and irrationality that comes with interpersonal relationships tends to disturb you. You are reserved when revealing yourself, and often have the effect of being aloof.

Sometimes, and although it may not be your intention, you even convey the impression of being dismissive to the people around you. The continuous locker room and water cooler banter enervate you more than anything else. For you, work is work, and you feel that private matters don’t really belong there. When you choose your profession, watch out that you are not made to adjust to and interact with others around the clock.

Reliability is your middle name. Whoever hands you a project can rest assured that it will be handled diligently and delivered on time. The thought not to keep a promise or a commitment on time is total horror to you. Therefore, it is important to you to be in an environment providing smooth working conditions where you receive consistent and predictable feedback about your efforts. Clear and definite objectives, and the assurance that the necessary resources for your activities will be available, are a must.

You can’t stand improvisation, short-term changes of plans, and last minute rush. You are a master at organized planning and proceed very purposefully with everything you do. You are driven up the wall if something unforeseen throws your careful calculations into disarray. You want everything within the purview of your responsibility to run smoothly, so that it can be dealt with one after the other. Professional environments where it is impossible to plan from one day to the next, requiring continuous flexibility, are not your thing. You can deal with a sudden adjustment, but please, not too frequently! A daily life in uncertainty, not knowing if you would be able to deliver a performance meeting your high demands, is not for you.
