Whuaaaaaaaa.....why..................... ????

It seemed like a very beautiful experience & time at the outset.
But not anymore...everything has changed, now it's nothing...
I feel quite sad at times when I think of you... T_T

I've heard all the complaining from my friends that I should have forgotten  you...
I shouldn't think about you anymore...
I won't wait for something good to crop up anymore.... NO! That's enough...

I know it'll hurt me...but I will survive....
I have to move on although I know I cannot forget you in a short time....hmph...
But one thing you have to know that I will not regret everything...
Thanks for all beautiful time...

It's time to move on...

Stop! Enough is enough !!!

Beberapa hari lalu sewaktu saya sedang duduk-duduk cari inspirasi jadi teringat pengalaman dulu. Kejadiannya buat saya cukup lucu ^o^... Kejadian ini terjadi sudah lama yaitu sewaktu MOB fakultas hari terakhir pas baru masuk ubaya.

Sehari sebelum penutupan MOB tiap kelompok disuruh bawa nasi tumpeng dari rumah buat dimakan bersama ketika hari penutupan. Jadi masing-masing anggota dapat jatah yang berbeda-beda, ada yang disuruh bawa nasi kuning dari rumah, ada yang disuruh bawa ayam goreng, ada juga tempe& tahu goreng terus perkedel dll. Saya dapat jatah bawa perkedel.

Setelah sampai di rumah, saya ditelepon sama ketua kelompok. Percakapannya seperti ini :

Saya : Halo

I        : Halo, tin... kamu besok bawa tempe yah...

Saya : Loh yang bawa tempe kan si X...emang dia kenapa...

I        : Nggak, maksud saya tempe(h)...

Saya : Iya iya....tempe, tahu goreng X yang bawa besok...dia sudah bersedia tadi...

I        : Bukan itu, itu loh tempe(h) tempe(h)....yang buat tempat tumpengnya nanti...

Saya : (tidak connect) ...

I        :Tahu tidak yang buat nampannya nasi...yang biasa untuk menampi beras...

Saya bertanya ke salah satu orang tua saya yang kebetulan sedang berada di sebelah saya, " Tempe buat menampi beras itu apa maksudnya?" Langsung dijawab," Oh itu lho (sambil memperagakan cara menampi beras)." Seketika saya jadi connect.

Saya : Oohhhhhh itu...niru.... heheheh.... Iyah iyah besok saya bawa.... Sorry saya pikir tadi tempe dan tahu goreng....hehehehhe

I        : Iyah tidak apa-apa. Besok jangan lupa bawa yah... Ok...

Begitu saya menutup telepon, saya langsung tertawa sendiri dan cerita ke ortu saya. Dia juga tertawa. Hahahhahahha.... Setahu saya alat untuk menampi beras itu namanya niru tapi di sini disebut tempeh...hahahhaha.....

Aneh-aneh baru juga sampai sudah dapat pengalaman malu-maluin lagi.... Untungnya seiring waktu jadi mengerti sendiri...hihihihiii

Selain Common Interview Questions di post sebelumnya, ini beberapa tips yang sangat berguna ketika di-interview...

1. Practice Good Nonverbal Communication

It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a good, firm handshake. That first impression can be a great beginning -- or quick ending -- to your interview.

2. Dress for the Job or Company

Today's casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview.

3. Listen

From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace.

4. Don't Talk Too Much

Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may tend to ramble, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position's requirements and relating only that information.

5. Don't Be Too Familiar

The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the interviewer's demeanor. It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions, but do not overstep your place as a candidate looking for a job.

6. Use Appropriate Language

It's a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -- these topics could send you out the door very quickly.

7. Don't Be Cocky

Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if you're putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved.

8. Take Care to Answer the Questions

When an interviewer asks for an example of a time when you did something, he is seeking a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only don't answer the question, but you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and talk about your skills.

9. Ask Questions

When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer. It is extremely important to ask questions to demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what is asked during the interview and asking for additional information.

10. Don't Appear Desperate

When you interview with the "please, please hire me" approach, you appear desperate and less confident. Maintain the three C's during the interview: cool, calm and confident. You know you can do the job; make sure the interviewer believes you can, too.

***Good Luck***

Beberapa hari kemarin aku membaca artikel bagus nih.... tentang pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang biasa ditanyain ketika di-interview soalnya tidak sedikit juga orang yang gagal ketika di interview padahal great on paper-nya.

Nah supaya gak grogi n mengurangi ke-nervous-an itu, pasti banyak yang harus dipersiapkan. Salah satu caranya dengan menebak-nebak pertanyaan apa yang bakal diajuin sehingga kita udah ada persiapan kira-kira mau menjawab apa nantinya.

And These are 5 Common Interview Questions :

"Tell me about yourself."

This is a common question—and sometimes the hardest. It's a broad, general question, and the worst thing you can do is give a broad, general answer.

So how do you make the most of this question? Use it as a springboard to introduce the topics you want to discuss. Decide in advance what you want the interviewer to know: Your favorite job experience, your most valuable activities in college, your goals and dreams. Focus your answer by picking one or two things and then use specific details to bring the topic alive.

Example:
I'm a hard worker and I think I generally have good organizational skills. In college, I led a team of designers to create the Web site for each of the University's volunteer organizations ...

"Why did you decide to pursue this career?"

Questions like this one do double duty. On the one hand, they allow you to foreground your most relevant and impressive achievements, such as honors coursework or special research projects. On the other hand, this kind of question also allows you to talk more generally about "what makes you tick"—what motivates you and how you make decisions.

The key, as always, is to focus your answer by picking a few specific events and providing details so your answer doesn't become too vague.

Example:
I've always been interested in math, but I also wanted a secure career that had a strong practical bent. I did a little research and decided to look into accounting. By the time I applied to college, I was sure accounting was what I wanted. I attended State University because they have a really strong accounting program. I also had a great opportunity to serve as president of the Accounting Club.

"What have you gained from your work experiences?"

Since the employer has already read your resume, avoid simply listing your past jobs. Instead, pick one or two work experiences and think about them in detail. What were your duties? What particular activities, events or crises stick out in your memory? Use these specific details to think about what you learned while doing that job.

Example:
My work at the community pool really helped me develop my interpersonal skills and learn how to lead people. When I was teaching swimming, it was up to me to give my students a sense of confidence and motivation—and to keep them safe while doing it.

"What difficulties have you faced on the job?"

Even if you've had bad work experiences, you should never use the interview as a chance to lay blame or complain about a past job or employer. Instead, turn a negative into a positive. Describe problems as challenges, and focus on solutions rather than the difficulties.

Example:
While working at the daycare center, I had to balance a lot of competing demands—from the parents, the children, the teachers and the administration. It really taught me how to view all sides of any situation, and how to prioritize my time. I found that differences of opinion usually occur because two people can't see both sides of the situation. I learned to see the other person's side and explain my position.

"What is your greatest weakness?"

The key to answering this question is the same as the last: Turn a negative into a positive. Don't try to come up with a character flaw or personal weakness. Instead, rephrase the question for yourself: "How do I want to improve to become better in my career?" Identify areas in which you want more training or guidance.

Example:
I would like to get more experience as a manager. In the past, I've really enjoyed supervisory roles, but I know there's so much more I could learn to make me a better manager. I'd like to build on that foundation and develop more skills.

Use these questions as a guide as you prepare. But don't assume every question will show up, and don't try to memorize answers. Instead, use them to help you review your experiences and plan some possible answers. When you get to your interview, relax and draw upon your preparation as you respond to your interviewer. Hopefully, the last question you'll have to answer is "When can you start?"

Good Luck !!!

Siapa yang gak tau Jonathan Prawira, seorang penyanyi dan penulis lagu yang sangat terkenal di blantika musik Indonesia... Dulu cuma orang di balik layar pentas musik Gospel Indonesia tapi sekarang.... wah... udah jadi yg nyanyi alias penyanyi rohani dengan lagu-lagunya yang udah memberkati banyak umat Kristiani di Indonesia.

Karya JoPra udah banyak bgt soalnya dia udah sejak taon 1987 jd pengarang lagu, contohnya yang terkenal n selalu dinyanyiin Sejauh Timur dari Barat, Hati S’bagai Hamba, Mujizat Itu Nyata. Banyak bgt lagu-lagu lain yang sering dinyanyiin di kebaktian-kebaktian gereja.

Sekarang JoPra ada album baru judulnya "Call Me Blessed". Album ini dinyanyikan oleh gabungan antara artis, pemuji, dan worship-leader dari berbagai denominasi gereja seperti: Wawan Yap, Lea Simanjuntak, Feby Febiola, Wisnu Idol, Nobo Idol, Regina Pangkerego, Jonathan Prawira dan sebagainya.

Di album ini JoPra ngerangkul arranger dan musisi yang gak asing lagi kayak Ucok Radjagukguk, Wilyanto n Hans Kurniawan. Album "Call Me Blessed" ini menyuguhkan pujian dan penyembahan yang atraktif dan variatif di jalur pop kayak slow-modern, band-modern, rock-modern, country-modern, sampe synthesized-modern. Lagunya yang bagus di sini ‘Berkat Tuhan Yang Menjadikan Kaya’, ‘Pertolongan Yang Ajaib’, ‘Baik Adanya’---->recommended.

Pokonya album ‘Call Me Blessed’ ini keren n sangat dianjurkan bagi para pecinta musik rohani yang rindu menyembah Tuhan dalam suasana musik yang modern tapi penuh nilai-nilai spiritual yang kuat.

God Bless....

Liriknya Toby Mac "Made To Love" :

The dream is fading now I'm staring at the door
I know it's over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection
I ain't feeling what I see
There's no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget

That I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me
I was made to love
And be loved by you

The dreams alive with my eyes open wide
Back here to win
You've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters spitting vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I'm reaching out, reaching up, reaching over
I feel the breeze cover me cause you over
And daddy, I'm on my way

I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me
I was made to love
And be loved by you

I was made to love you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me
I was made to love
And be loved by you
I'm loved by you

Anything, I would give up for you
Everything, I give it all away
Anything, I would give up for you
Everything, I give it all away
Anything, I would give up for you
Everything, I give it, I give all away
Oh, yeah
Cause I was made to love you
I was made to love you
Yeah, I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made to love you
I was made to adore
Made just for you
I was made to love you
I was made to adore
Made just for you
I was made to love you (2x)
Made just for you
I was made to love you
I was made to adore you
Yeah, I'm loved by you
Yeah, I'm loved by you
Yeah, I'm loved by you

Saya bermimpi suatu kali saya pergi ke Surga dan seorang malaikat menemuiku dan menunjukkan keadaan di Surga. Kami berjalan memasuki suatu ruang kerja penuh dengan para malaikat.

Malaikat yang mengantar saya berhenti di depan ruang kerja pertama dan berkata,"Ini adalah Seksi Penerimaan. Di sini, semua permintaan yang ditujukan pada Allah diterima." Saya melihat-lihat sekeliling tempat ini dan saya dapati tempat ini begitu sibuk dengan begitu banyak malaikat yang memilah-milah seluruh permohonan yang tertulis pada kertas dari manusia di seluruh dunia.

Kemudian saya dan malaikat saya berjalan lahi melalui koridor yang panjang lalu sampailah kami di ruang kerja kedua. Malaikat saya berkata,"Ini adalah Seksi Pengepakan dan Pengiriman. Di sini kemuliaan dan rahmat yang diminta manusia diproses dan dikirim ke manusia-manusia yang masih hidup yang memintannya." Saya perhatikan lagi betapa sibuknya ruang kerja itu. Ada banyak malaikat yang bekerja begitu keras karena ada begitu banyaknya permohonan yang dimintakan dan sedang dipaketkan untuk dikirim ke bumi.

Kami melanjutkan perjalanan lagi hingga sampai di ujung terjauh koridor panjang tersebut dan berhenti pada sebuah pintu ruang kerja yang sangat kecil. Yang sangat mengejutkan saya, hanya ada satu malaikat yang duduk di sana, hampir tidak melakukan apapun. "Ini adalah Seksi Pernyataan Terima Kasih,", kata malaikat saya pelan-pelan. Dia tamapak malu.

"Bagaimana ini? Mengapa hampir tidak ada pekerjaan di sini?", tanya saya.
"Menyedihkan.", Malaikat saya menghela napas.

"Setelah manusia menerima rahmat yang mereka minta, sangat sedikit manusia yang mengirimkan pernyataan terima kasih."
"Bagaimana manusia menyatakan terima kasih atas rahmat Tuhan?", tanya saya.
"Sederhana sekali", jawab malaikat. "Cukup berkata : Terima kasih, Tuhan. Dan berbuatlah kebajikan bagi sesamamu serta jauhilah kejahatan."
"Lalu, rahmat apa saja yang perlu kita syukuri", tanya saya lagi.

Malaikat saya menjawab,"Jika engkau mempunyai makanan di lemari es, pakaian yang menutup tubuhmu, atap di atas kepalamu dan tempat untuk tidur, maka engkau lebih kaya dari 75% penduduk dunia ini."

"Jika engkau memiliki uang di bank, di dompetmu, dan uang-uang receh, maka engkau berada di antara 8% kesejahteraan dunia."

"Dan jika engkau mendapatkan pesan ini, engkau adalah bagian dari 1% di dunia yang memiliki kesempatan itu. Juga... Jika engkau bangun pagi ini dengan lebih banyak kesehatan daripada kesakitan...engkau lebih dirahmati daripada begitu banyak orang di dunia ini yang tidak dapat bertahan hidup hingga hari ini."

"Jika engkau tidak pernah mengalami ketakutan dalam perang, kesepian dalam penjara, kesengsaraan penyiksaan atau kelaparan yang amat sangat... Maka engkau lebih beruntung dari 700 juta orang di dunia."

"Jika orang tuamu masih hidup dan masih berada dalam ikatan pernikahan...maka engkau termasuk oarang yang sangat jarang."

"Jika engkau dapat menegakkan kepala dan tersenyum, maka engkau bukanlah seperti orang yang kebanyakan, engkau unik dibandingkan semua mereka yang berada dalam keraguan dan keputusasaan."

"Jika engkau dapat membaca pesan ini, maka engkau menerima rahmat ganda yaitu bahwa seseorang yang mengirimkan ini padamu berpikir bahwa engkau orang yang sangat istimewa baginya dan bahwa engkau lebih dari 2 juta orang di dunia yang bahkan tidak dapat membaca sama sekali."

Nikmatilah hari-harimu...
Hitunglah rahmat yang telah Allah anugerahkan kepadamu. Kemudian jangan biarkan Departemen Terima Kasih kosong tanpa pekerjaan...

Artikel ini buat merasa untuk selalu berterima kasih padaNya.
Yah...banyak sekali kebaikan dan kemurahan yang telah Dia berikan bagi kita semua, bahkan sekecil apapun dan kita tidak menyadarinya. Pengalaman saya sendiri dulu pernah sewaktu sedang memotong buah-buahan di kosan teman (keperluan kuliah), karena sudah malam saya mungkin agak terburu-buru. Saya hampir melukai jari telunjuk kiri saya sendiri. Tapi untunglah Tuhan baik dan tidak membiarkan jari saya terluka. Nyaris sekali, bila kurang sedetik saya menarik jari saya, entah gimana bentuk jari telunjuk kiri saya sekarang, pasti ada bekas luka. Apalagi itu sedang di kosan teman... Thanks God for everything...

I like this song... Yes, by Yovie and Nuno... "Dia Milikku". I heard this song at radio and it can make my body shake... ^^ I like it..Luv Yovie&Nuno... Find it in their "The Special One" album...

These are the lyrics of the song :

Semula ku tak tahu

Engkau juga kan ingin memilikinya

Bukankah ku lebih dulu

Bila engkau temanku

Sebaiknya tak mengganggu

Reff:

Dia untukku, bukan untukmu

Dia milikku, bukan milikmu

Pergilah kamu, jangan kau ganggu

Biarkan aku mendekatinya

Kamu tak akan mungkin mendapatkannya

Karena dia berikan aku pertanda juga

Janganlah kamu banyak bermimpi, oooohh

Dia untuk aku Bukankah belum pasti

Kamu juga kan jadi dengan dirinya

Dia yang menentukan

Apa yang ’kan terjadi

Tak usah mengaturku

Reff2:

Dia untukku, bukan untukmu

Dia milikku, bukan milikmu

Lihatlah nanti, lihatlah saja

Biarkan aku mendekatinya

Kamu tak akan mungkin mendapatkannya

Karena dia berikan aku pertanda juga

Janganlah kamu banyak bermimpi, ooohhh

Kusarankan engkau mundur saja, ooo

Repeat reff

Repeat reff2

Dia untuk aku

Bukan, dia untuk aku

Hemmm….hari ini kuliah hari ketiga blm terlalu sibuk. Tadi matkul praktikum baru pendahuluan aja, seperti praktikum- praktikum sebelumnya tentang hazard di lab, bahan-bahan apa saja yang tidak boleh berkontak kulit, terhirup, tertelan, trz apa yang tidak boleh dilakukan di lab, apa yang harus dilakukan klo terjadi sesuatu yang tidak diinginkan misalnya bahan kimia tumpah, ada bau gas dll...

Dan dosen yang menjelaskan ya itu lagi…apa yang dijelazin jg sama… Satu sampe dua jam awal sih biasa aja, masih tahan…pas jam ke3 mulai dah ngantuk…hahahha… Untungnya dosen yang ini suka menyelingi dengan humor2 gitu jadinya bisa tahan sampe akhir presentasinya… Tapi begitu ganti yang presentasi dosen lain, malah ngantuk lagiii…huahhahah…

*Yang dijelazin td cukup menyeramkan. Tadi diceritain kisah yang menurutku tragis jg… Kisahnya terjadi di Amerika Serikat, Wetterhahn seorang professor kimia meninggal sewaktu dalam penelitian. Dia pake dimetilmerkuri sebagai bahan standar untuk mengukur ion logam raksa (199Hg) pakai spektrometer NMR. Enam bulan berikutnya Wetterhahn dilarikan ke rumah sakit karena menderita sakit parah, sering pusing, muntah-muntah, bicaranya jadi gak jelas, penglihatannya menjadi kabur, pendengarannya berkurang, dan tidak dapat lagi berjalan dengan tegak.

I am listening to this song these days.... ^^ "Pandangan Pertama" by RAN. I saw the video clip for the first time in tv...about 4 days ago...and I directly liked it and recommended it to my friends...hahaha....

I enjoy this song well because it's groovy and easy listening enough... I don't care if the singers are not famous coz I like the song especially the reffrain...hehehe... About the lyric, hemmmmm.......I think it's usual, not very romantic but as I said before, the rhythm is very good... ^^

And These are the lyrics for the song "Pandangan Pertama" by RAN :
