Thank you note
There are a lot of people that I want to say thanks to. I would not be like this without them. But today, I want to say special thanks to my dear friend HS. Because of our small talk yesterday afternoon I remember again my goal in life (the goal that I almost forgot because of all the tension lately).
Several days or weeks ago, I was really depressed because of my studies. I thought I chose a wrong path and a wrong research field because AI was definitely not my thing. Even thought I tried to smile and look like everything ok, but deep inside I felt depress and started to question my decision to take this PhD. Bad result in my previous two assignments added my depressed feeling.
But yesterday, somehow, after our small talk (which not even discuss my depression), I re-found my goal in life which I have forgotten for a very long time. I re-found that my goal in life is to learn new things everyday and enjoying every process of it. I re-found that I should not just stuck to the result (such as result assignment), but enjoying every processes of it. So what if I got a bad mark? The most important things are I learn something new and I learn not to make the same mistake again. I re-found my passion to enter the PhD. I re-found that I want to take PhD because I want to learn new things and yes, by taking PhD I learn new things (a lot of new things).
So, from yesterday and so on, I will enjoy my process of learning. Not just learning from books but also learning from others. I will enjoy it and do as best as I can to learn and implement it and will not worry too much about the results. Bad or good results is always the opportunity to learn again right?
So, thank you dear friend. And if somehow I forget about my goal, please remind me again.

Close..
Close has a relative meaning. One people can say something is close and the other says it is far. In term of relationship and friendships, how can we describe close relationships? How can we differentiate close as a friend or close as a couple? When a friend tries to be more close then just a friend, what are the signals??
While I try to find the answer, this is a lyric of song which title is “Close to You”
----------
Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
(*) On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
(**) That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Woo... Close to you...

Can easily fall in love? Is it a bad thing or a good thing??
I’m still trying to answer that. From my past experience, “can easily fall in love” give you a couple of advantages, namely: you are able to find good things in every one, you make your life cheerful and you can forget bad experience fast. But the disadvantages are also quite a lot. One of disadvantages is you can experience a lot of pain from broken heart. One said: If you are daring to love then you should dare to loose or to be rejected. And by easily fall in love, this feeling will always hunt you. It is not a good feeling. It is a terrible one. Other disadvantage is people will think that you too ease to catch because with just a little affection you will fall in love.
Still don’t know weather “can easily fall in love” is a bad thing or good thing.

Love is all around
I really like that quote (from a song). Every day we witness love. It can be friends love, parents love, couple love and any other type of love. Love is all around.
When ever I’m in the lowest time in my life, I always think of that. I always think that I have love all over me and it’s not the time to feel sad.
I have parents who love me very much and never force me to do anything against my will.
I have brother and sisters who also love me and spoiled and care about me.
I have siblings that also love me.
I have many friends that love me and willing to help me.
I have love and I’m capable to love anyone without boundaries.
I have universal love.
So, love is all around…. Just look around you and you will find love.

My PhD Application Process
This is all started when my friend tell me that there is a vacant position in SMU (Singapore Management University) as a Research Assistant. And if I’m interested I could try to send my CV to his friend in SMU. I was interested with that vacancy and at 9 June 2008 I sent my CV to him. I also tell him that I’m interested to get a PhD.
At 12 June 2008 to be exact, my friend tell me that although the PhD in-take was already closed, the PhD Program Director willing to give me a chance to apply for the PhD Program. They ask me to fulfill the entire application requirement including two referees, personal statement and research statement and sent it to SMU before 20 June 2008.
I started to fulfill the application, ask for referees and writing my personal and research statement. My friend also helps me to refine my application form, personal and research statement. For the referees, I ask Mr. Sablin Yusuf (Dean of Computer Studies Faculty, Universitas Bina Nusantara, Jakarta Indonesia, www.binus.ac.id), Mr. Harjanto Prabowo (CIO of Bina Nusantara, Jakarta Indonesia, http://ict.binus.edu/) and Mr. Benny Ranti (Senior Lecturer and also my Supervisor in University of Indonesia, www.ui.edu).
After fulfill the entire documents, at 18 June 2008, I sent it to SMU by using DHL. I thought it will be able to reach SMU at 19 June 2008. But until 20 June 2008 3pm, the status is still On Delivery Courier. I start to panic, I start to call DHL officer and their tell me to call the Singapore DHL to ask it. I call the Singapore DHL to make sure that my application will be sent at 20 June 2008. I also call the SMU Assistant Manager to ask weather my application already there or not. And finally my application can successfully deliver to SMU.
At the same day, after read my application, the PhD Director (Prof. Pang) email me about my research area. He said that they don’t have any faculty that specialize in that area and he ask me weather I interested in other area which are data management, information security, or decision support systems. I reply the email and said that I’m interested in Data Management and Decision Support System. And he told me to check the SMU Professors web pages and let him know which professor’s research I’m interested in.
When reading the professor’s web pages, I’m become interested with Prof. Lau research in Decentralized Decision Making in Network Enterprise. And I email Mr. Pang about it. Not long after (24 or 25 June, I forgot the date), Mr. Lau call me and gave me a phone interview. He ask several questions about algorithm and artificial intelligent (which I almost forgot about) and he also ask about my motivation, commitment and willingness to study. At the end of the interview he said that they will give decision and inform me about my application as soon as possible. The phone interview lasted for about 45 minutes.
At 27 June 2008, finally they inform me that after a series of evaluation from our PhD review committee, I was offered admission into our PhD in Information Systems program with a full scholarship. I was exited about it. And finally what I have worked for a couple years to get a PhD scholarship payoff.
I’m also very grateful to all my friends that help me to get this scholarship. Because I know that they all gave a very good recommendation for me.
That’s how I got my PhD Scholarship and hopefully I could finished on time and with excellent result.

Tarsius Spectrum
This is the story about little pretty animals (when I say little it’s seriously mean little) which can be found in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. I first met these little creatures in 18 May 2008 when I went to Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Scientific name for these little animals is Tarsius Spectrum (from Tarsier Family), the smallest primate known.
Tarsius Spectrum Morphology
Known as the smallest primate known, Tarsius Spectrum only weight 125 gram (for male) and 110 gram (for female). They measures between 11 and 15cm in length. They can not move their eyes but can turn their head 180 degrees.
Life as a Tarsius Spectrum
They usually found in Indonesia, on the island of Sulawesi and the nearby islands of Sangihe, Peleng, and Salayer. This species lives in a variety of habitats, including primary and secondary forests, coastal forests, and mangrove forests. This species is found at altitudes from sea level to 4000 feet.
Tarsius Spectrum is a rear animal but still relatively abundant in protected areas in Sulawesi such as Tangkoko Dua Saudara Nature Reserve. However, Tarsius Spectrum has a limited geographic range, and little is known about their current distribution throughout Sulawesi. Habitat disturbance is occurring throughout much of their known range. And their reproduction is also very slow. Every year they are only 1 baby Tarsius Spectrum born.
But to see these little animals in actions is not easy. We have to wait until night to see Tarsius Spectrum. Tarsius Spectrum usually appears when it is dark to find foods that are usually small insects.
Tarsius Spectrum is mate for life. They are monogamist. If their spouse is dead, they will get sad and die not long after.

DHL Mengecewakan
Ceritanya begini, jam 10 pagi tadi, saya menelpon DHL untuk pengiriman paket. Saya sudah pesan sama customer service DHLnya saya mau di ambil kalau bisa siang atau sebelum jam 5. Oleh petugas customer servicenya di iyah kan dan diberikanlah saya sebuah nomor booking 37500. Dia berpesan apabila jam 4 belum datang juga silahkan menghubungi DHL kembali dan memberitahukan nomor booking tersebut.
Jam 4 lewat 20, kurirnya belum datang juga, akhirnya saya telp DHL kembali. di terima oleh seorang petugas Customer Service yang bilang akan menghubungi kurirnya dan meminta dia segera datang sebelum jam 5.
Tapi ternyata sampai jam sekarang (jam 7 15 menit) belum datang-datang juga orangnya. Jam setengah 7 tadi saya sudah berusaha menghubungi customer service DHLnya. saya bertanya, dengan masih baik-baik, kapan kurirnya akan datang mengambil paket saya .. dia suruh saya menunggu .. entah apa yang di lakukannya .. ditunggu ditunggu gak kerasa sampai 7 menit ... .... kemudian tlp nya putus pula. jadi saya menunggu 7 menit dan tidak mendapatkan jawaban apapun. kemudian saya telp lagi, kali ini pun saya di suruh menungguu... selama lebih dari 5 menit dan setelah itu putus lagi .. parah banget kan ... pelayanan macam apa seperti itu.. akhirnya saya sengaja tunggu sekitar 20 menitan baru tlp lagi .. dengan harapan dari pihak DHL nya sendiri yang menelpon saya mengabari jam berapa paketnya akan diambil... tapi ternyata tidak ada tlp apapun....
Akhirnya jam 7.10 tadi saya tlp lagi. petugasnya kali ini mengatakan maaf kurir kami mengalami keterlambatan, akan datang sebelum jam 8 "biasanya". ada kata biasanya... jadi bisa aja kurirnya datang jam 9 atau 10 atau mungkin lebih malam lagi .... memang seperti itu yah pelayanan jasa pengiriman international ?? tidak menghargai waktu.... bayangkan saya sudah menunggu dari jam 5 sampai saat ini. sudah 2 jam lebih. akan lebih menyenangkan kalau bisa tau kapan kurirnya datang untuk mengambil paket saya. sedangkan ini .. tidak diberikan waktu yang jelas... Saya juga kan punya kesibukan lagi selain menuggu kurir untuk mengambil paket.
Benar-benar service yang mengecewakan ... kalau memang tidak bisa mengambil paketnya, kenapa tidak bilang dari tadi sewaktu saya tlp pertama kali jam 10.. dengan begitukan saya bisa memikirkan alternatif yang lainnya.
Jam 8.30 belum datang juga kurirnya.. gila banget kan.. parah. udah tlp lagi ke customer servicenya cuman di kasih tau bahwa sedang dalam perjalanan. perjalanan ke mana?? gak mikir yah DHL nya. kalau cuman telat 1 jam an masih gpp,... ini udah lebih dari 3 jam. emang seperti itu yah layanan ekspedisi international ??

Tgl=20 Jan 2008
Jam=13:47
Tempat=My desk - My office
Ngantuk banget .. hari minggu harus datang untuk stand by karena ada USM Online. Sebenernya males banget sih ... cuman karena kewajiban jadi terpaksa dech.
USM nya dibagi menjadi 2 shift, ada yang jam 09:00 dan ada yang 14:00. Berhubung yang Online ada di kedua shift itu, jadilah akhirnya aku terdampar di kantor sampai jam 16:00 untuk stand by.
Sebenernya kenapa perlu stand by? Mungkin karena USM Online ini masih baru. sehingga perlu penanganan ekstra. So far.. udah di pakai 3x termasuk ini. waktu pakai pertama kali, ada sedikit masalah karena menggunakan browser Safari. tapi udah di perbaiki sih. sehingga ketika di pakai kedua kali berjalan mulus. Nah .. yang ketiga ini, kebetulan orang-orang yang menggunakannya (staf/penjaganya) berbeda. yang pertama dan kedua untuk program International Class sedangkan yang ketiga ini untuk Reguler.
Jadi yang ketiga ini ada beberapa yang patut di perhatikan sih. terutama dari familiarity staf/penjaganya dengan USM Online itu sendiri...
Karena hal-hal di ataslah .. makanya ... udah jam segini masih terdampar di Kantor.. ngantuk :(
terpaksa menunggu :((

Waktu: 1038
Tgl: 12-Jan-2008
Tempat: my desk in my office
Baru jam setengah 11. sedang menunggu jam pulang. Masuk jam 9 pulang jam 12... males kerja yah. Jadi menunggu jam pulang aja. soalnya 3 jam itu nanggung sekali untuk kerja... bikin tidak mood.
Pulang hari ini aku akan menempuh jalur yang berbeda. Mau naik bis. udah lama gak naik bis. sebenernya naik bis karena mau ke Hypermart serpong. Mo komplain. Masa beli lampu enerziger yang harusnya dapet kartu garansi ini gak dapet. Beli nya sih tanggal 30-des-2007. waktu beli, petugasnya bilang petugas yang bawa kartu garansi nya sudah pulang dan kuncinya di bawa. jadi kartu garansinya gak ada. Dalam hatiku, gak peduli petugasnya udah pulang atau belum, yang jelas aku beli dan hak ku untuk dapat kartu garansi. Akhirnya si petugas mencatat namaku dan dia berjanji besok dari pihat hypermart akan telpon untuk mencatat data-dataku dan memberikan kartu garansi. Tapi udah di tunggu sampai 2 minggu ini, gak ada yang menghubungi. Niat gak sih itu hypermart?? parah banget. untuk mendapatkan kartu garansi resmi merupakan hak dari setiap konsumen .. iyah gak?? makanya mau ngomel-ngomel nih ke hypermart. mo menuntut hak akan kartu garansi. oo iyah sama sekalian mo ambil pisau.. kan di hypermart ada promosi, mengumpulkan berapa stamp dapet pisau. dua minggu yang lalu udah mau tuker juga. tapi pisaunya gak ada.. jadi hari ini mo menyelesaikan banyak urusan di hypermart. ..................................

Baru jam setengah 11. sedang menunggu jam pulang. Masuk jam 9 pulang jam 12... males kerja yah. Jadi menunggu jam pulang aja. soalnya 3 jam itu nanggung sekali untuk kerja... bikin tidak mood.
Pulang hari ini aku akan menempuh jalur yang berbeda. Mau naik bis. udah lama gak naik bis. sebenernya naik bis karena mau ke Hypermart serpong. Mo komplain. Masa beli lampu enerziger yang harusnya dapet kartu garansi ini gak dapet. Beli nya sih tanggal 30-des-2007. waktu beli, petugasnya bilang petugas yang bawa kartu garansi nya sudah pulang dan kuncinya di bawa. jadi kartu garansinya gak ada. Dalam hatiku, gak peduli petugasnya udah pulang atau belum, yang jelas aku beli dan hak ku untuk dapat kartu garansi. Akhirnya si petugas mencatat namaku dan dia berjanji besok dari pihat hypermart akan telpon untuk mencatat data-dataku dan memberikan kartu garansi. Tapi udah di tunggu sampai 2 minggu ini, gak ada yang menghubungi. Niat gak sih itu hypermart?? parah banget. untuk mendapatkan kartu garansi resmi merupakan hak dari setiap konsumen .. iyah gak?? makanya mau ngomel-ngomel nih ke hypermart. mo menuntut hak akan kartu garansi. oo iyah sama sekalian mo ambil pisau.. kan di hypermart ada promosi, mengumpulkan berapa stamp dapet pisau. dua minggu yang lalu udah mau tuker juga. tapi pisaunya gak ada.. jadi hari ini mo menyelesaikan banyak urusan di hypermart. ..................................

Sedikit cerita dari pernikahan adik sepupuku kemarin. Rame .. banyak saudara yang hadir.. hampir semua keluarga besar dari pihak mama hadir .. di kenalin ke beberapa saudara. Hal biasa lah yang dilakukan di hampir setiap pernikahan.
Tapi seperti biasa yang paling mengesalkan adalah di tanya Kapan Menyusul .... classic question yang ternyata masih sering di tanyakan juga. Mengikuti iklan di TV kalau di tanya seperti itu, di jawab dengan senyum dan Kapan-kapan ..... :P.
Mungkin bila di lihat dari pesta itu, aku merupakan gambaran wanita karir yang kerja di kota besar dan mandiri serta enjoy sama dirinya sendiri. Pergi ke pesta perkawinan tanpa pasangan pun masih enjoy aja ... walaupun banyak teman-teman/saudara-saudara yang membawa pasangan masing-masing. Kan emang kenyataannya belum punya pasangan, masa sih di paksain cari "Plus One" hanya karena gak mau ke mana-mana sendirian? kalau "plus one" nya sesuai dan cocok sih gak masalah, tapi kalau tidak cocok dan di paksa in cocok wah bisa berabe.. iya ga ?? so, pesanku kepada semua single di dunia, dont be affraid of walking or going to party alone, just feel enjoy with your self. dont commited your self in relationships just because your affraid of being alone..... I, my self, always try to be happy with my self ....

I’m staring my face in the mirror. Ada jerawat besar dech. Diameternya hampir 8 centimeter. Setelah beberapa hari menggunakan perawatan dari dokter, kok semakin banyak jerawat yang muncul yah, termasuk jerawat segede ini. Bikin serem. Semoga aja ini memang salah satu tahap penyembuhan. Jadi semuanya di keluarkan dulu baru akhirnya muka berangsung-angsung akan sembuh.....
Semoga ... semoga .... semoga ...

Hari ini merupakan hari yang baik, sangat baik. Aku telah mengetahui sebuah rahasia, ”big secret” yang diketahui oleh semua orang-orang hebat di dunia ini. Ya, hari ini akhirnya aku menonton ”The Secret”. Sebuah buku yang sudah aku ketahui beberapa lama tapi belum sempat untuk membacanya (belum sempat atau memang belum tertarik). Aku juga sudah membeli dvd ”The Secret” ini bulan yang lalu dan baru hari ini tertarik untuk menontonnya. Dan aku sangat mensyukuri keputusan aku hari ini. Menonton ”The Secret” memberi sebuah ”insight” baru bagiku. Membuka pengetahuan akan hal-hal yang harusnya sudah kulakukan dari dulu. Tapi tidak ada kata terlambat. Aku akan memulainya sekarang. Hari ini juga. Detik ini juga. Anggaplah ini sebagai resolusi tahun baru. Hari yang tepatkan untuk memulai sesuatu yang baru. Tepat pada malam pergantian tahun.
The biggest thing that hit me from The Secret is we are what we think about. If we think we can do things and have things, I’m sure we can indeed do those things and have those things. Karena di dunia ini, semua tarik menarik. Bila kita percaya kita akan mencapai hal-hal yang yang kita inginkan, pasti kita bisa mencapainya, walaupun mungkin saat ini kita belum tahu bagaimana mencapainya. We created our own universe. Our universe will be created as we wish for. Your wishes are my command. And if we want something so bad and we belief we can achieve it, it will come true. Kita akan menjadi seperti apa yang kita pikirkan. We are what we think we are, said The Buddha.
There are a lot of things that I want. A lot of things that I belief I can have. A lot of things that I’m sure I will have. In order to achieve that, rule number 1, I should list it. So, this is my list of wish, that I belief and I will try so hard to get:
1. Finding my True Love. I want to find my true love, I want to journey a true love.
2. Write an outstanding paper and dissertation. I will do it. For starter, I will write my paper, based on my thesis that I have postponed it for long time. And I will start to email professors to find scholarship for my PhD and finished my dissertation.
3. Travel around the world. I want to go to Venice “my dream place”, Rome, French, Thailand, Nepal, Tibet, Japan, and other countries in the world. I want to skiing, bungee jumping, jet skiing, and others I want to do it all.
4. I want to have sport mobile. A red convertible sport car. I’m sure will look great in that car. 5. I want to do social works. I still don’t know what I will do, but I will do it. I will do social works to bring happiness in my self and in others.
I think that all my major wish for now on. I still have lots of wishes, but those 5 things that I want the most. I will repeat those wishes everyday and I will visualize that wishes come true.
And those wishes will sure come true.
