Role Play!

My team for banking class faced a lack of information about CIMB Niaga corporate loan. Yup, it’s so hard to get brochure or person who can give us information about it.. Well, it’s all because we’re not corporate; we’re just colleagues who want to get data for our assignment.

But we didn’t surrender.. Me n 2 of my teammates decided to go to CIMB Niaga at Fatmawati and do some role play! Hoho, we’re the owner of a successful boutique in Tebet and we wanted to apply credit for business expansion.

Actually, we’re unprepared.. So both formal costume and backup data were unavailable. And with these limitation, we tried our best and we’re also supported each other if one confused or stuck with questions such as “how much was your investment capital?” or “what’s your boutique’s name? where it located in Tebet?” or “how much is your business’ cash flow per month?” fiuh, luckily we could answer those all (but nervous is in the air!) Overall, it wasn’t so bad even though I felt that the account officer’s suspected us as well, hahaha..

I Love The Way You Love Me

A lovely song from John Michael Montgomery

I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you're not there

And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two hour bath
And how you convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me

I like to imitate old Jerry Lee
And watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key
And I like the innocent way that you cry
At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me

And I could list a million things
I love to like about you
But they all come down to one reason
I could never live without you

I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy

Heart and soul
So completely

I love the way you love me
Oh baby I love the way you love me

P.S. I love the way you love me, my guide-book boy ^^

Please, accept my prayer..

Here is my wish,
I really really really want to ..

Hmm, I think it’s no need to write it here.
I’m sure you know what I want most, right?

Comdev 2009 : Boys & Girls

Huah uda lama nih ga cerita ttg comdev! Br skrg deh gw nulis post ttg comdev lg.. Hmm, kali ini gw mau cerita ttg anak2 kelompok gw. Jadi kelompok gw tdiri dari 8 org, 4 co & 4 ce, hoho balance deh! Bs dibilank kelompok gw sngt rame, brisik n anak2nya pd kocak2 smua.. Jadi kalo lg ngumpul brg2, bawaannya ketawa mulu :D trutama gr2 co2 kelompok gw yg disebut (ato suka menyebut diri sendiri) Boys!

Co2 di kelompok gw (selanjutnya disebut Boys, hehe) mank dsrnya tukang isenk yah, mereka tuh sering bgt ngatain org.. Ga pandang bulu, smua org dikasih istilah gt syapa. Mank c ngundang tawa, tp ampe2 kelompok gw ndiri ada yg dikatain macem2, cape deh! Well, ini juga c yg sempet memicu konflik antar kelompok trutama bagi anggota kelompok gw yg relatif sensitif.

Boys n Girls.. Well, scr alami qta ngebagi tgs. Utk minggu2 awal, Girls ngurus ttg masak memasak n penyediaan makanan (walopun kami smua tak ada yg jago masak, jd seadanya deh hehe) n kalo Boys tgsnya bnykan bagian luar kaya baksam (bakar sampah), belanja2 bahan baku n pekerjaan yg berat2 deh. Untungnya Boys menyadari, pd mau n ga rese!

Pernah c, skali waktu qta tukeran peran.. Jadi pas weekend minggu pertama dianggap sebagai mother's day krn kan uda sminggu penuh Girls ngurusin konsumsi, jd gantian Boys yg masakin bwat Girls. Hehehe, kocak abis deh 4 Boys in a kitchen! Ampe pintunya ditutup (Girls dilarang masuk) haha, jd curiga gmn proses masaknya. Hehe, mereka masakin indomie yg dimodif sedemikian rupa dengan telor n sambal jd kaya berbentuk seperti makaroni dikasih hiasan gambar dgn sambel diatasnya ^^

Well, kehidupan qta disana bener2 uda kaya 1 keluarga.. Saling berbagi, saling mengurus, saling menjaga. Uda bener2 ga ada yg bs ditutup2in diantara qta, yah scr juga qta tinggal brg2 selama 1 bulan. Pastinya baek buruk seseorg ketauan jelas.. Yah, ada yg jorok, ada yg mungqn keliatan dr luarnya (pas di kampus) kaya gt tnyata ga seperti itu jg sebener2nya. Bnyklah yg gw dpt, gw jg jd lebih kenal n makin ngerti masing2 individu di kelompok gw.. Gmn juga cara bersosialisasi n interaksi dgn org.

Gw juga belajar utk bertenggang rasa.. Ga egois, qta kan ga tinggal di rumah ndiri yg bs seenaknya aja! Hrs behave-lah, apalagi qta tinggal di rumah org, lingkungan yg asing n sama sekali baru bwat qta. So, pastinya qta ber-8 baik boys n girls hrs kompak n solid.. Susah n senank ditanggung bersama2. Walopun kadang qta suka ada konflik, tp dr hati qta yg paling dalem gw yakin masing2 dr qta sungguh bersyukur qta dikasih kesempatan utk hidup bersama n jd 1 kelompok :)

Reborn!

I was thinking that I’ve been through one of the most terrible week in my life.. I was so hectic because all of those damn assignments from my campus, some additional work hours from my parents, some boring lecture days, also problem with my health.

Besides all the physicals, my feeling wasn’t good as well.. I felt down because some mistakes I’ve made, both in group assignments and in relationship with my parents. Yes, I was egoist.. I felt guilty n I was deeply sorry about them :( Well those things have became heavy loads on my shoulder, till at one time I thought that it’s already out of my capacity (read: stress).

But God didn't do nothing! Friday afternoon, there were PD (persekutuan doa) in my campus.. He directed me to attend it. And I was very2 thankful I can join this week's PD! The topic was so click with me, with what I felt for the previous weekdays and it was really enlightened my soul! I was reminded that God has sacrifice Himself for us.. His huge love made me realize that for whatever my difficulties n loads in life, He never leaves me. The other best part was a heart touching video titled “what should I do” and it succeed made me cried..

After left the auditorium, where the PD held in, my life just seemed so easy, happy, flow, and of course full of Easter spirit! =) Happy Easter anyway, GBU..

(Being) Unwell

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Eh, mank Liverpool punya mental juara yah (gw akui ko, soalnya mank Liverpool is my 2nd fave FC) masa sebelum half time uda golin 2-0! Aggregatenya jd sama donk 3-3.. Duh, uda mulai tegang2 deh pdhal awalnya nyante aja abisnya mikir kan "ah, Liverpool hrs ngegolin 3 berat bgt donk!"

Msk 2nd half, Chelsea mulai membaik maennya (pas 1st half, ball poss nya Liverpool dominan bgt!) trus goalin tuh Chelsea 2 goal berturut2.. Drogba n Alex, jd 2-2 scorenya eh trus Lampard goalin lg jd 3-2. Fans Liverpool uda pd lemes gt kliatannya, eh pas 10 menit trakhir Liverpool goalin 2 (bedanya cm sekian menit deh). Giliran pemaen Chelsea yg tegang soalnya kan scorenya 3-4 Che-Liv, aggreate 6-5 nah kalo 1 lg Liv goalin yg maju ke semifinal tuh Liverpool kan soalnya unggul mskin goal di kandang lawan lebih bnyk..

Duh, tegang bgt gw pokoknya! Tp untungnya Lampard goalin lg di menit 89, hoho..

Be a Strategist

Gw kadang2 ga abis pikir.. Kdng ada org yg cuek bgt, bodo amat n ga pedulian. Huh, jujur gw jd kesel n bt gr2 kelompok comdev gw. Mereka seolah2 ga pengen apa comdev project ini berhasil! Rasanya gw doank yg bener2 mau berjuang demi kelompok ini.. Kdng gw cape jdnya. Mungqn mank bnyk kesulitan yg dihadapi, kayanya semuanya jg ga berjalan dgn lancar. Tp, hey! Inget donk, qta anak PM yg sebelum masuk uda dikasih outbound training, yg uda dilatih ama marinir n dicekokin ama tugas2 yg menumpuk. Smuanya bwat apa?! Biar qta bs survive.. Ga gampang nyerah ama keadaan..

Apa yg bs gw kerjain akan gw kerjain sebaik mungqn demi comdev ini. Biarpun gw bkn ketua di kelompok ini, but I’m a strategist. Why? Krn gw peduli ama keberlangsungan perusahaan ini, gw care ama hidup matinya perusahaan ini! So please donk, boys n girls.. Don’t give up! Qta masih bs ngejar ketinggalan asal mau berjuang, tp ga cuma 1 org aja yg berjuang. Qta smua hrs sama2 berjuang n do our best!

Tips Menilai Cowok ala Dosen Banking

Hari ini gw kuliah Banking, si pak Aries (liat post yg judulnya “#2”) ngajar ttg Financial Statements of Banks.. Dy bilank kalo mau investasi (bkn nabung yah!) di bank 2 hal yg hrs diperhatikan adalah return (tinggal tanya aja brp bunganya) n risk (yg bs diketahui dr laporan keuangan bank tsb). Nah, trus spt biasa.. Dy mengkaitkan ama kehidupan qta sehari2, ktnya milih bank yg mau qta invest ibaratnya kaya milih cowok. Ada tipsnya nih biar qta tau gmn cara nilai risk n “security guarantee” dr seorg cowok! Hahaha, bhsnya :D

Dy bilank coba skali2 ajak co itu jalan brg, mkn di t4 yg rada elit lah (bkn ekonomi sulit yah, hehe) trus pas keluar bill nya (misalnya 500rb gt) nah perhatiin gmn cara dy byr bill itu! Ada 3 kemungkinan 1. Byr pake uang cash (menandakan kalo dy tuh pedagang, apalagi kalo kumel2 kayanya c juragan pasar haha) 2. Byr pake kartu kredit (alias tkng ngutang.. apalagi kalo kartunya direject2 mulu) 3. Byr pake kartu debit (nah, ini mengindikasikan kalo dy mank punya duit di rekeningnya sendiri alias co ini liquid). Tiap org kan kalo bk dompet sedikit2 bs ketauan tuh qra2 bnyk kartunya ato ga.. Yah, tp krn kartu debit n kredit ampir sama, yah sbg ce hrs pinter2 identifikasilah :) Ati2 juga ama co yg kayanya sayang bgt ama ce nya trus bilank ke ce nya “sayang, pilih aja apapun yg kamu mau.. Nanti aku yg bayar” tp byrnya pk kartu kredit! Itu bener2 suatu tindakan yg ga wise n mindset co itu ga bener..

Kalo ce ditanya ttg kriteria co, ce2 (tmasuk gw) pasti bnykan jwb “yg pinter.. biar nanti hidup gw ke depannya terjamin” tp kt pak Aries, yg paling penting dlm milih co tuh yg bs survive n siap ama masa depan. Kalo mau tau co itu uda siap blom buat masa depan.. Tipsnya gampang, tanya aja portfolio nya. Jgn ngerasa aman dl kalo dijawab “aku punya rumah, dibeliin papi.. mobil n usaha, dikasih papi jg” krn itu smua bs aja ilank dgn mudah. Co yg bener2 siap akan jwb dy punya portfolio di 1. Reksadana (yg relatif high return tp low risk, bkn deposito!) 2. Saham 3. Derivatif (jgn cuma saham doank, tp hrs ada derivatif coz kalo cm maen saham bs2 bulan ini kaya bgt, bln depan miskin krn bangkrut! Co yg wise n mateng bkl punya yg namanya derivatif kaya options utk ngurangin resiko di saham) 4. Insurance (yg mencerminkan kalo ni co uda mempersiapkan masa depan istri n anak2nya kalo tjadi apa2 ama dy). Kalo ktemu co kaya gt, kt si pak Aries, kawin lari pun ok deh tjamin soalnya.. Hahaha, kocak!

Sharing gw ini bkn ngajarin spy ce2 pd matre loh.. Well, it’s all about ur future, for d rest of ur life! (kalo jd suami?) Pastinya hrs milih co yg bs bikin qta safe ada di sampingnya n punya jaminan hidup ke depannya toh? Walopun, smua tips2 ini cm salah satu kriteria bwat nilai co, masih bnyk cara2 laen bwat nilai co yah.. Tp namanya jg dosen banking ngajarin anak finance yah pastinya bhsnya ga jauh2 dr istilah keuangan deh hehe. Can’t wait to hear his other tips, hehe ;)
