Friends are always Friends

I started this day by checking my emails. N i found a new email from my old friend from Japan. We've been friend for more than 4 years, but we only met 4-5 times, n we're still keep in touch 'till today.

It always nice to be keep in touch with friends from each corner of the world, though we're separated in a long distance. Many things we shared, like jobs, friendship, love life, common issues, etc. Sometimes we share experience n opinions, n give advice to some problems. Well, that's what friends are for, 'aight??

N I do agree with what he said,
"...that nothing can change us, different background and we don't share time together much, but friends are always friends..."

So....tired !!!

The tattoos i made in Bali

Ugggghhhhh.....siapa bilang dinas ke Bali itu enak???
Emang sih, 10 hari di Bali, dengan akomodasi n tiket PP ditanggung kantor, sounds great ya? Palagi dalam rangka liputan event olahraga, which means seharusnya bakal kelar sore hari, n malemnya? ya jalan-jalan donk....

Hiks...sayangnya ngga gitu. Tiap hari udah ngumpul di lobi jam 6 pagi, n balik ke hotel paling cepet jam 9 malem, bahkan lebih. Have no more energy to do other things. Maybe some people still have time for other things, but not me. Untungnya masih sempet renang di hotel, walopun udah malem2 gitu, hehehe... (baru kali ni aku renang malem2)
Oia, satu-satunya kesempatan buat keluar, malah aku pake buat belanja oleh2, hehehe... kalo ini si lebih karena tuntutan moril, ga afdol kalo pulang ga bawa oleh-oleh =)

ya...karena jalan-jalan ga kesampaian, jadi niat mo liburan ke Bali next time. Dunno when
?
But one thing for sure, Bali....i'll coming !!!!

Feel Like AIESEC Conference

"Ziah, you will handle mini studio in Asian Beach Games in Bali, ok"

"...and what i'm gonna do in that mini studio? while I'm still running a Ramadhan program, and i haven't handled a sport program"

"don't worry, you can make it"

It said a months ago, while i'm still working on 4 Mata Sahur Seru, a comedy-variety show we produced during Ramadhan. To be honest, i really exciting to run this event, as it my first international event, and it will be held in Bali, yeee....!!!! I can imagine Bali with it's culture, nature, and entertainment we can get. You may say, it would be a combination of work and pleasure in the same time. But the other side, I quite worried as it's not only being my first sport event, but at that time, the preparation is still running without i getting involved in. I have no idea what will I really do there, what should I prepare, etc.

N then it started. Many things changed, n I responsible handling beach volleyball. One thing I really noticed from this event, it's really feels like AIESEC Conferences. People from all the world gathers in one place, working 'till late night, busy with their laptop, discuss many things, etc...etc...etc... It's a blend of culture, sports, pleasure, and nature. what do you think???

Mba Otty were trying hard to make Diego wearing the uniform =P

Apa Perlu Diruwat?

Bulan lalu, salah seorang temanku kehilangan ibunya karena sakit. Gak lama kemudian, karena ngrasa kehilangan, ayahnya menyusul menghadap Sang Khalik. Pasti sedih ya, ditinggal orang tua dalam waktu yang berdekatan. FYI, beberapa bulan sebelumnya Temanku ini bis kecelakaan. Gak tanggung-tanggung, ni yang kedua kalinya, n kali parah banget, mpe tangannya msti patah. Bahkan pas kedua ortunya meninggal, tangannya masih digips.

Ok, back to the topic. Masih dalam suasana duka, karena meninggalnya kedua ortunya, musibah ternyata lum pengen ninggalin dia. Kakeknya (entah dari ibu or bapaknya) meninggal dunia. Penyebabnya? Karena faktor usia, ditambah kesedihan yang mendalam karena kehilangan anak dan menantunya dalam waktu yang berdekatan. Pasti berat banget ya, kehilangan keluarga berurtan kayak gitu.

N today, kita baru dapet kabar, adik dari temanku itu meninggal. Kejadiannya cukup tragis, meninggal karena jatuh dari apartemen. Sampai saat ini temanku masih shock atas semua kejadian yg menimpanya itu.

Pasti berat banget ya kalo ngalamin kejadian itu. Mungkin Allah SWT punya rahasia indah buat dia ya? Hanya Tuhan yang tahu.

My question is, apa dia perlu diruwat seperti ritual orang Jawa?

Laskar Pelangi, The Real Potrait of Indonesian Education

"Kejarlah pelangimu sampai ke ujung langit. Jangan pernah menyerah"

That's my favorite quote that ends Laskar Pelangi The Movie. Along with my family, finally I've watched it. It's a great family movie, though my friends said the book is more complete and detail. Of course it is, i think, as they can't put all the story on the script, isn't it? Just like other movies based on book, 'aight?

It's not only funny, touchy, but also entertaining. There are some moral points in this movie, such as friendship and also struggle for your dreams. The story is so real. It is the real portrait of Indonesian education in rural area. There's one scene i most remember, that is when the students in Muhammadiyah Elementary School have their math subject using "lidi", while in another school the students get new calculators FOR FREE!!! It's so contrast...but it happens 'till now.

Correct me if i'm wrong, in a big and modern town like Jakarta (and maybe other town in Indonesia), you may see students in a big and popular school enjoy any facilities, like swimming pool, sport court, computer, etc. While in other part of Jakarta, some students must work hard to buy the books and work to help their parents in the same time.

It's so ironic!!!

Selamat Idul Fitri 1429H

Selayaknya selembar kertas, saat ini kita kembali putih, bersih, belum ternodai. Semoga kita bisa menjaga diri dari segala hal yang tidak baik.
Taqabalallahu Minna Wa Minkum,
Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin,
Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin
