Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

Nol atau kosong?

Di suatu sore yang nggak indah, tiba-tiba rekan sebangku saya, ya maksudnya rekan yang mejanya disamping kanan saya ngakak dan kaget. Nggak tiba-tiba juga sih, ada sebabnya kok. Gara-garanya begini ;

Obrolan ini saling bertatap muka
 
'Lho mbak, kalo complimentary kan nggak perlu dimasukin list ya? Kan ini gratis, kenapa di masukin sini trus nilainya SGD 0 ya?'
'Ohh nggak apa-apa masukin aja disitu, harganya nol tapi jangan lupa centang free box-nya'
'Oh yang free gratis itu ya. Oke oke'

Beberapa saat kemudian...

Obrolan ini saling menatap komputer masing-masing
 
'Mbak, kok harganya bukan SGD 0 tapi kosong ya. Ini tampilannya gimana emangnya nih? Kosong apa nol?'
'Ya ampun Prisca... bedanya apa coba kosong sama nol'
'BEDA!' reaksi refleks ini mendadak bikin si mbak tetangga syok dan seketika menoleh dengan tatapan 😯 'Kamu marah apa ngasih tau apa menyanggah?'

Demi meluruskan keadaan agar tak terjadi salah sangka, seketika saya teriak bilang ....

'Sorryyyyyyy mbak sorry hahaha refleks kayaknya jiwa matematikanya masih ada 😄😄'
'Maksudnya? 😮'
'Jadi kalo matematika itu, kosong sama nol itu beda. Tapi orang umumnya sering bilang nol itu diganti kosong. Nol itu penting dan exist dan angka, sedangkan kalo kosong itu himpunan yang nunjukin kalo nggak ada anggotanya, ya nggak ada sama sekali. Kalo baca nomer hape itu pake nol, bukan kosong. Tadi aku nanya kosong apa nol karena yang di sistem itu tadi nunjukin SGD 0 sebelum aku konvert, eh abis diconvert bisa kosongan ga ada apa-apanya. begituuu'
'Pris please stop it, kamu kok serem sih tiba-tiba bahas matematika. Serem tauk'
'Refleks, otaknya udah matematis soalnya 😁'

Bagi banyak orang, nol dan kosong itu sama. Tapi bagi matematika, keduanya berbeda. Tapi ya namanya udah mendarah daging, ibarat begitu susah bener buat dijelasin atau dilurusin lagi. Orang sudah terbiasa dengan yang 'nggak lurus' jadinya ketika kita memberitahu yang 'lurus' malah kesannya kita yang aneh. Dan masih banyak hal kecil yang sering diremehkan dalam urusan matematika yang sebenernya malah bikin fatal. Nanti deh kapan kalo sempet mau ditulis, sekarang capek mikir berat 😄😄

Udah bisa pake emoticon yeayy 😙😙

  1. Orang karena sudah terbiasa jadi dianggap benar. Padahal betul, Kalo bilangan nol itu angka dan kosong itu tidak ada, tapi orang sering asumsi Kalo nol itu kosong padahal nggak.

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...
