I Thought I Hate People, but...

Sanur ... but I actually don't! That I realized when I had dinner with H and he asked me, "Do you think she's married? The seller, she looks young but not too young."  So I said, "Uhmm I don't know and I don't care."  He then said again, "Yea I know, but I am curious about people. I am curious about what they're doing in life." That's when it came to my mind, "Wait a minute! I am also curious about people, but not their personal life like marital status, how many kids they have, what religion they believe in. I am curious about what they think about things! Ah that's why I love talking to people, no matter how introvert I am but talking to people still excites me." Then we finished our big nasi goreng together.  Looking back at it, I never really like people randomly talking to me when I was in the zone... Like zoning in and out talking to myself. But actually no, maybe it was only that we didn't sync so I went &qu

Biggest achievement

One of my friend in whatsapp group (frontsummer group) want to apply for a job. She have to answer a question about achievement.

“Please describe one of your biggest achievement and how does it shapes you?”

She shared it with us and got some responds from us.

One of my friend who studying in Liverpool now said that her biggest achievement was graduated on time (4 years in under graduated program). She told the LPDP interviewers like that. Maybe because of this she passed the interview and studying in England now.

Then I said, my biggest achievement now is my mum bless us to go further in this relationship *which is mean she let us to make a further plan. She wasn’t let us before. But since we insist and try to convince her that we both serious sooo something changed and she let us now*. This is one of my biggest achievement.

Another friend said, “My best achievement is working in Jakarta”. He is working in Surabaya anyway. Then I said, “Hey.. that is your dream, you never work in Jakarta. It still your dream to work there, since your girl stay there”. Seems there was misconception about dream and achievement for him because he is so eager to work in Jakarta so he can date his girl everyday haha

While my friend still confuse thinking about what was her biggest achievement. I told her, biggest achievement is always depend on your heart. You may think that my achievement isn’t great at all, but for me it is. Biggest doesn’t always mean people see what you achieve like maybe you could be a president for Indonesia or become a wife of Great Britain Prince or another thing but biggest achievement in your life, that’s only you who know it. Because you feel it.

Oh yeah, another biggest achievement of mine is : knowing my students said “Ah… Okay I understand now what does it mean” after explain them, that also be the biggest of mine. Could share them my knowledge, and make them get what I mean.

So never compare your biggest achievement with another people achievement. Biggest for you doesn’t mean biggest for others, and vice versa.

Have a good weekend with beloved ones :)

Mendaftar Pelatihan di Prakerja

Sanur Jadi dulu program ini diluncurkan pemerintah untuk kasih insentif orang yang di PHK atau tidak bekerja pas pandemi. Jadi ya gw tentu saja nggak punya hak tho. Sebagai orang yang nggak punya hak, ya gw nggak ikutan lah. Trus temen gw beberapa bulan lalu bilang, ikut aja soalnya ini buat yg kerja yg mau nunjang skill juga lho.  "Hah masa sih?" Yaudah pas liat oh ya bener juga, jadi gw daftar. Daftar pertama di gelombang 20 nggak lolos. Trus ya udah patah hati dah lah gausah daftar. Eh tiba-tiba minggu lalu temen gw lolos gelombang berapa gitu, lalu bilang kalau gelombang 29 udah buka. Yaudah deh ikutan aja. Eh lolos dong. Pembukaan gelombang ini termasuk cepet. Hampir tiap minggu selalu ada gelombang baru yang dibuka. Jadi daftar di gelombangnya itu selama 3 harian, pengumumannya 3 hari kemudian, lalu 3 hari kemudian udah bukaan baru. Bener-bener cepet banget. Nah temen gw yang lagi S2 nggak bisa ikutan padahal dia juga kerja sebagai pengajar. Alasannya KTP sudah terdafta

Tips Membeli Buku

Ada duitnya wkwkw! Ya maksud gw, harga buku di Indonesia bisa dibilang nggak murah terutama buku yang berbahasa asli misalnya Bahasa Inggris. Buku cetakan versi asli biasanya harganya bisa 2 kali harga buku terjemahannya, atau dua-tiga kali harga e-book. Ini e-book yang original ya, bukan yang bajakan. Kayak semacem beli di kindle atau books-nya google itu.  Kadang emang sering pengen beli fisik bukunya tapi kok harganya sampe 300ribu banget, sedangkan hasrat ingin membaca ini tinggi sekali. Nah, kalau skenario yang begini yang terjadi (dan paling sering), gw biasanya cek toko buku bekas dulu. Di Bali ada beberapa toko buku bekas yang reliable , meskipun koleksinya kita nggak akan tau ya karena ya random juga. Satu di Sanur, satu di Ubud.  Ini karena kapan hari gw udah beli bukunya Madeline yang Song of Achilles di Periplus, 200ribuan. Lalu nemuin bekasnya dengan sampul yang gw mau, cuma 25ribu. Jadi gw udah beli yang baru, beberapa hari kemudian gw ke toko buku bekas dan nemu itu. Set
