Aduh temen2…barusan a shocking tragedy (almost) menimpa ku

As you all might (or not) know, kalo lagi ngantor di BEJ biasanya gw ikut bokap dari rumah sampe GKBI. So dari GKBI ke BEJ gw naek kopaja19. Gw selalu on high alert setiap kali naek public transport, eq: selalu iket resleting tas, selalu sedia uang cukup di kantong baju, selalu kancingin kantong dompet belakang etc.

5 bulan berlalu dan walaupun banyak orang bilang jangan naek buskota (or even jangan naek any form of public transportation di jakarta, meybe this story would help),gw tetep naek kopaja19 dan ga perna merasa ada masalah apa2…sampai pagi ini..

Pagi ini, as usual gw ikut bokap sampe GKBI n dari situ nyebrang dan nunggu kopaja 19 yang paling sepi. 5-10minutes goes by dan gw ga nemu kopaja19 yang sepi (ini jam 8.30an so wajar saja kalo jem segitu penuh semua)..alhasil gw bertekad gw bakal naek kopaja19 pertama yang gw liat setelah ini.

Guess what, ternyata yang dateng sepi.. wow .. thank God dalam hati gw.

Perjalanan goes as usual, sampe didepan semanggi ada segerombolan orang masuk, 2 bapak-bapak, 2 ibu-ibu, n beberapa anak-anak (kayanya sekitar 3-4 anak). I started to have bad feelings about this, soalnya tampang mereka ga lazim (ga tau juga sih gimana jelasinnya, tapi i just had a bad feeling when i saw them). gerombolan ini naek dan berdiri di depan deket pintu depan, tapi yang anak2 berdiri deket pintu belakang.

Bener aja feeling gw temen2 sekalian! Pas gw mao turun di BEJ, otomatis gw mesti desek2an sama bapak2 tersebut. pas lagi desek2an gw merasa ada yang megangin kantong celana gw, refleks, gw langsung liat celana dong..

EEEhhhhhh bener ajeeee, bapak yang satu lagi masukin tangannya di kantong kiri gw, dan yang satu lagi masukin tanggan di kantong kanan gw!!!!! Refleks, tangan gw langsung megang kantong celana n tangan mereka pun langsung keluar deh. OMG2.. panik, takut dan stress..gw bingung..ya sudah gw pikir gw keluar dari pintu belakang aja.

Karena gw masih inget ada anak2 dari gerombolan mereka yang berdiri dibelakang, gw langsung kebelakang sambil masukin tangan ke kantong celana.. *thank God* gw bisa keluar dari bis itu dengan aman sejahtera.

Hal pertama yang gw lakukan setelah turun dari bis ya tentu saja ngecek kembali semua kantong plus tas gw.. sukur ga ada yang ilang

Gw ga tau apa yang terjadi dengan keluarga copet itu..i’m pretty sure ada beberapa orang yang ngeliat aksi mereka tsb.. too bad karena gw terlalu kaget dan shock gw jadi ga sempet tereak or whatever lah buat ngasi tau orang laen bahwa ada keluarga copet dibis itu..

Lessons learned kalo naek bis kota:

• simpen barang berharga ditempat yang aman (walaupun gw ga yakin kalo ada tempat yang aman kalau lagi di bis :p)
• keep your alert level as HIGH as ever
• jangan keluar lewat pintu yang penuh
• kalo pake celana berkantong tangan lu 2-2nya masukin aja de ke itu kantong
• etc maybe ada yang minat nambahin ?

cheers,

I was reading my cable magazine, when i came across with this weird ad for a female watch. The Eiffel Tower was not weird, since many ladies watch use this kind of romantic / glamour photo shot. What I can’t understand is why the hell the model’s left hand is put inside a vase? what the hell is that suppose to mean? Is this model some kind of monster with a big left hand??

ps: the watch’s not so good either, and it’s so pricey as well ;p

cheers,

Ahhhh..

finally I’m no longer jobless.

Starting tomorrow I’ll start my first ever real job *cieeeh*

Ernst and Young is the lucky one that had a first chance to hire me *kidding suer…kalo ada orang EY yang liat ini suer bercanda*

Well, ceritanya dimulai sekitar akhir juni lalu. Diawali temen gw yang cerita ttg she and some of her friends yang cerita uda diterima di bbrp company multinational n ngasi tau brp gede sih starting salary-nya. That time gw bengong2 doang denger starting salarynya..

Sejak saat itu semangat45 gw langsung keluar, n mulai deh google2 kira2 multinational company apa sih yang lagi butuh lowongan IT fresh grad *berhubung I’m an IT Graduate*. Ternyata banyak bgt, so i start applying one by one.. Shell, Exxon, McKinsey, BCG, trus semua Big4 company, ga lupa bank2 nasional (BCA, Mandiri, dll), trus.. pas laginya ada Job Fair gw datengin juga.

Waktu itu ada Job Fair di ITB, maka datanglah gw n taro2 application disono. Bbrp company yang gw apply selama disana itu: Freeport Indonesia, Total, PnG, Schlumberger, Unilever, Holchim.

Gila yah gw PD bgt apply banyak gitu, tapi cuma dikit sih yang dipanggil n disuru test *dasar emang ga terlalu memenuhi kriteria kali yak*, diantaranya Freeport, Astra Honda, Hutchison, and tentu saja EY!

Karena gw uda diterima di EY jadi gw cerita ttg proses seleksi di EY aja deh. Sebenernya udah rada hopeless bbrp kali sama EY..pertama kali email application gw dikacangin sama EY nyari 3 bulan, ya jelas hopeless lah. Ga nyangka tiba2 ditelpon ma EY disuru psikotest loh..

Dateng deh ke EY dengan PD, pas psikotest-nya udah hopeless ke2 kalinya..SUSAH gile..

suer dah gw sbnrnya ga terlalu bisa, tapi as usual kerjain sebisa gw aja. Abis psikotest yang apply buat finance audit sama IT audit dipisah. Dikasih deh 2 macem test lagi, Basic IT (mayan bisa sih) and IT Audit. Nah test IT Audit ini die..gw bener2 blank..

In my mind, WHAT THE F**K, gw ga ngerti begini2an..masa ditanya “Apa aja control yang penting dalam audit sebuah company” / “apa aja langkah yang dilakukan dalam mengaudit sebuat IT sistem” Hoalah..tau “control” maksudnya apa juga kaga..

Alhasil 25 soal ga ada 1 pun yang gw bisa..semua cuma gw kerjain pake feeling :p Ya udah deh, hopeless lagi deh yang ke3.. *ahahah..dasar orang bego keseringan hopeless* pulang2 cuma pusing :p

Karena uda ada 3 macem hopeless..ya udah deh gw pikir EY anggep aja lepas, n saatnya konsen ke lowongan2 yang gw masih ada peluang. N tanpa diduga 3 hari abis test gw dipanggil interview User looh. Dateng deh interview User, mulai PD lagi nih ceritanya. Jawab deh pertanyaan2 dengan PD, n gw jujur mengakui kalo gw ga tau IT Audit itu apaan.. :p

Ga lama setelah interview user tsb tiba2 dipanggil lagi, kali ini Interview User ke2, n yang kali ini gw diinterview sama Partner loh.. Grogi juga sih, apalagi he looks like such a smart guy. Tapi gw masih nyoba jawab pertanyaan2 dengan PD. Beliau sih uda bilang kalo gw uda OK and cukup cocok dengan requirement yang mereka butuhkan di EY. Tapi setelah saat inilah gw koq kaya mulai hopeless lagi yah ma EY..

Nunggu seminggu, trus libur lebaran, seminggu lagi, seminggu lagi..koq masih no contact. Nah, pada saat nunggu EY ini gw uda dapet offer dari satu company laen. Gw jujur masih pengen bgt ma EY, tapi kalo semakin ga menentu mendingan gw ambil company laen itu deh. Akirnya gw emailin aja deh EY, bilang kalo gw uda dapet offer dari company laen nih, tapi jujur masih lebih pengen ke EY. Eh..bsoknya gw ditelpon loh, disuru ikut Training IT Audit bareng ma anak2 laen yang uda diterima. Ya uda deh, gw ikut aja trainingnya.

Trainingnya itu minggu lalu, 15-17 November, pesertanya anak2 yang uda dihire sama EY. I’m just one out of 4 people yang blon diterima. Ga enak gtu rasanya, bis yang laen dah diterima n gw masih ga menentu gtu. Tapi during the training gw dapet banyak hal2 baru, diajarin cara2 audit gtu. Asik but on the other hand gw mikir, kalo gw ga diterima gw ngapain juga ngabisin waktu ikut training ginian..

Akhirnya..pagi ini gw ditelpon EY, n mereka bilang gw uda OK, n disuru kerja mulai bsok pagi

Ahahahaha..seneng bgt, langsung bilangin bonyok, bilang cici, bilang dd..hehehe…

Pelajaran yang gw dapet selama proses nyari kerjaan ini: Be patient! You might get what you wish for if u’re patient enough.

FYI, gw salah satu yang paling lamaaaa nyari kerjaan..meanwhile nyari semua temen gw uda kerja, gw 1-1nya yang tiap ditanya cuma bilang “blon kerja niih”, “waduh..masih nganggur neh”, “wah lo enak yah uda dapet kerja”.. hehe..at least sekarang uda dapet kerja deh gw.

Wish me luck guys and gals, moga2 kerjaan ini sesuai ma bayangan gw n semoga gw enjoy diEY, and thanks to you buat yang uda ngedukung gw from the start until now. I really owe you guys..

Cheers

Today the court has given the verdict for that referee scancal di Italy’s top division Serie A, here’s the complete verdict:

- Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina are relegated to Serie B

- Milan will stay in Serie A, but with 44 point reduction for last season. From 88 to 44, which means they lose their Champs league opportunity this year.

- Juve is stiripped their last two scudetto titles (what does this mean? Does Milan got both scudetto? or Inter will? not sure

- Juve will start next season with -30, Milan with -15, Fiorentina with -12, and Lazio with -7

- Inter, Roma, Chieve and Palermo will represent Italy for next season’s champs league

- Livorno, Parma and Empoli will do UEFA Cup..

Lol…that’s it guys, never play with referee, never play with justice..

When two sides play football, and there’s a referee involvement in deciding the outcome, then the match is no longer a balance match.. yes u’ll win that match, but u just lose fans and respect! Damn, this is so much fun..

Would u hold an open door for someone behind you? Would u help someone whose papers dropped in a street? Would u say thanks whenever people buy what u’re selling?

If u answered “Yes” to the three questions then u are so damn polite. Politeness is something hard to find anymore, esp here in Jakarta, indonesia.

I once went to a shopping mall and found out that most people here don’t even bother hold an open door for me. i stood barely 5-6 foot from the door, but people just don’t bother holding it for me .. grrr.. this is really different from what my experienced when i lived in Melbourne, Australia.

People there really polite (well in my opinion at least as an Indonesian). They would hold the door for you even when they got their hand full. They always says “excuse me” whenever they pass someone who walks much slower then them.

Reader’s Digest surveyed 35 major cities in the world for these kind of politeness. Guess where Jakarta stands? number 1? LOL..u’re so wrong my friend. New York got that position with 80% people there passed these three tests.

Jakarta surprisingly ranks 28-29 with 43% people surveyed passed the test. I call that a surprising result bcause our neighbouring country (Malaysia n Singapore) which is a much advanced city (technology n cultural wise) ranks lower than Jakarta. Singapore ranks 30-31 with 42% pass rate, and Kuala Lumpur stands at rank 33 with only 37% pass rate. And the “most impolite city in the world” goes to Mumbai, India with ony 32% pass rate.

Wow…Jakarta over Singapore n KL. that’s not happening everyday huh?

For Reader’s Digest complete ranking go here.

Just browsing the web n I found something quite interesting: Flock - The web browser for you and your friends. Open it's feature page and skim it a lil bit, it says Flock can do:

1. drag n drop photo publishing
2. blogging tool
3. become ur own media mogul..
4. and so on

ok, not really interested with the third feature, but the first and second makes me want to try it.

I download the installer (Beta1- ver.0.7 , 7.68 MB) here. Currently only windows version available to download. Windows and Linux version available.

Install it, and instantly i discover this is so Firefox look-a-like. Open the About page and found "Mozilla/5.0" engine running. No wonder.

I successfully setup my blog account (hosted @wordpress.com) and flickr accound - Flock also supports other blogs hosted by typepad, movable type, livejournal, drupal, and blogger. It also support blogs that use moveable type, metaweblog, blogger and Atom APIs.

I started it's blogpost tool, pretty cool, u just write anything, n press publish, and viola..it's all done! The new post is published safe and sound. The same thing for the flickr photo uploader. And u can directly use it's photo widget to put images in the blogpost tool.

Here's some screenshot:

Flock main window
BlogTool window
Photo Uploader window

Last word: Flock is identical with Firefox, but for someone who blogs and use flickr alot..it'll surely helps. Flock = Firefox + Blogs API + Flickr API. Try it if you want to.
