Day 1, MY trip

Flying with Citilink, first time outbond abroad with this airlines, quite an experience, okay one.

Arrived at the airport, the train was being repaired so we had to walk very long to reach the bus and went with the bus to the immigration building, where we faced a super long queue, after 2 hours waiting in line, finally got to see my sister and getting to her home was a good welcomeling journey from Kuala Lumpur with its view.

Dining out in the rain, enjoying mala. Went to supermarket with wow prices on items envied, making me shopped a lot, heavy ones, and we could not get grab to go home so we took the LRT, after long walk, and hahaha broken plastic bags, broken jam, finally arriving home again, and sorted our clothes to box for easy access....

A good day

In spite of wrong foot set in the morning, with my mom on mothers day 😁

A happy birthday to my beloved brother too.

Let's do this again!

 Ah, inspired by recent reading of one of my colleague's blog, an eye openner, that I want to write again. I have been limited by the time, the chances, but mostly, myself, the energy and passion, to write down what I have in mind. 

I really would like to write, everything that is in my head, putting them into writing, that easily can be read by others, as interesting as common, just the way, I was inspired recently.

I am now, 43 years old. Still, have not been able to create such an interesting blog, as to my dream. Wow, was it on hold? Or was it forgotten? Or was it missing in action? I simply keep postponing it, until today. 

Yet, at the age of fourtyish, I want to start to it right, I want to have another go, I want to have a thing to be acomplished, as it is ringing so loud in my head. It is there, it was being ignored all this time. Let's do this again, let's do this.

My awareness day

Tokyo Olympics 2021

 Olympics!

This time watching Tokyo Olympics 2020 2021 is a unique special feeling....

So many amazing things happen in Olympics.

I am wondering how that is possible, someone broke his or her own record in olympics, the push, the grit, the spirit that enable someone even beyond their "normal". It is amazing.

Amazing to see people who were a little bit behind or far behind can suddenly winning the race. 

To see people so called "underdogs" capturing momentum in their life and creating history.

Learning someone's life journey to get him or her to the Olympics, dreams, sweats, fight, pride, and many more. Stronger together, what a paradox to a world competition. We are stronger together while we are competing to each other. Thank you Tokyo Olympics! 

Glass cups

Forgive me
If my words offends some of you.
But, let's think for a minute or two.

Just recently, I saw an office bought lits of glasses for drink, they said to replace plastic bottle / mineral water in plastic cups.

I was a bit stunned.

Why?
I asked, they simply didnt know and said the headquarter said so.

It got me thinking.

There is invention.
There is creativity.

Most of the time, invention created to solve problems.
I asked, so you think water in plastic cups is really bad for the environment??
if we use glass cups, do you know how much water we will spend on washing each of the glass??
Do you know the quality of water in this building? Of course you do, right? That they recycled it, and I'd said imperfectly, as the water I saw in the toilet is the same as at the tap water at the pantry next door to toilet.
Shigella, salmonella, e coli lately invading our surrounding. Thypoid most of the time not coming from the food, they were well cooked. But from the plates, utensils, that washed using non hygiene water/ cleaning system. Water in bottles/plastic cups relatively cleaner and more hygiene., more practical, safe energy and time of the office boy, if a day 50 people come to office and drink through that glass, the amount of time for the office boy cleaning the glasses, dry them up, bring all these glasses from pantry to office, arrange them into their cabinets. Energy and time to refill the water dispenser, incremental quantity of refilling it as people taking water from dispenser now.
Ah.

I am not someone who object environment reservation, no.. not at all.
But, please think it through before you decide something in the sake of environment, or even when you talk!
Get to the essence of it.
I believe environmental problem due to population.
At the end, contraception plays its role!

CHANGE

Suatu jaman dulu, tepatnya 18 Juli 2007, menurut catatan yang kutemukan, pernahlah kami bersama-sama mendengarkan Rhenald Kasali tentang Perubahan. Change.
Berikut catatanku yang kuingin ubah jadi digital :)

Self-destructive habits:
1. Denial (Disbelief the existence of reliability --> reality).
2. Arrogance (inflated sense of self, offensive and superiority).
3. Complacency (the sense of security).
4. Competency Dependence (the curse of incumbency).
5. Competitive myopia (nearsighted view of competition).
6. Territorial impulse (culture conflicts and turf wars).
7. Volume Obsession (raising cost and falling margins).

Habitual thinking (minimum thinking)
to
CREATIVE
Maximum thinking --> INNOVATION

1. Konservatif (reluctant to change).
2. Memiliki aturan main sendiri (akibatnya gelombang tak sama).
3. Heritage culture (menjadi terlalu rigid, menutup mata pada hal-hal baru).

Nilai-nilai bawaan masa transisi:
- budaya ketakutan
- budaya menyangkal
- budaya kepentingan pribadi
- budaya mencela
- budaya tidak percaya
- budaya anomie

Hard core & Re-code
Membentuk tradisi vs Pembaharuan

so bebaskanlah diri dari belenggu masa lalu!

John Maxwell:
Perubahan : mulai dari diri sendiri, hal kecil, sedini mungkin.

Perubahan menurut mutasi DNA
OCEAN
O : Opennes to experience
C : Conscienciousness
E : Extrovertness
A : Agreeableness
N : Neuroticism

Tips to harmonize cultural conflicts:
1. Be open mind
2. Be disciplined
3. Admit it
4. Samakan gelombang, to be creative not reactive!

Great Leader Requirements:
- innovatice
- risk taking
- appetite for talent
- helicopter view
- sparkle factor

Joice 4.0

Di tengah maraknya industri 4.0, pas sekali saatnya saya punya versi baru, Joice versi 4.0.

Baru baru ini aku merayakan ulang tahun ke 40. Umur yang entah kenapa sangat aku takutkan. Entah kenapa. Kayanya seram, tua, gak gaya lagi, ketinggalan jaman, entah lah macam-macam pikirannya.

Tapi saat terlalu begitu stressnya, lalu mulai lah lihat lihat orang yang berusia 40 dan menurutku asik asik aja, keren aja, gak tua, dan seterusnya. Dan aku pun jadi semangat :)

Menyikapi sampah celotehan

There's always two sides of a story.
Setiap kali mendengar berita, info, aduan, selalu coba buat melihat dari perspektif yang berbeda. Karena kadang, bisa terlihat sangat berbeda.
Ketika mengemukakan pendapat, komentar, selalu saja sahaya takut, bukan takut salah, tapi takut belum memperhitungkan perspektif yang lain.

Tapi sering sekali kebanyakan orang langsung saja nyerocos. Apalagi kalau urusannya suka atau tidak suka.

Sejak lama, aku belajar dari salah satu guru hebat. 

Ketika kamu ga suka sama seseorang, coba duduk diam dengarkan perhatikan omongannya, coba mengerti mengapa dan kenapa dia ngomongnya demikian. Baik baik perhatikan.

Kalau kamu dapat mengerti, akan sangat efektif karena kamu tidak menghabiskan waktu, energi untuk melawan semua omongannya dari sisi yang salah. Entah perlu dilawan entah tidak perlu, engkau jadi tahu.

Ketika kamu tidak dapat mengerti, berhentilah menaruh perhatian pada hal seperti itu. 

Sangat sangat tidak efektif soalnya.

Jaman mau pilpres begini, makin banyaklah kita melihat jeroan jeroannya manusia.
Yang bela bela mati, yang pake kacamata kuda, yang picik, yang licik, yang fanatik.
Apakah saya mengerti?

Day 1

Starting a diet, again, is super difficult.
But, I need to change my way of living.
I am obesed already.
One of acupuncture doctor I knew long time ago told me, I was lucky I used to be an athlete that my body somehow survived.
She asked me to modified my lifestyle, which I dont think I understand what she was saying.
Until now.
I cant be just dieting.
I need to change my way of living.

So today,
I had a plate full of melon and papaya, and a poached egg for breakfast.
Afternoon, I had a lot of meat, some salad, and an ice cream. Well, not easy being a marketing person and you didnt eat when you entertained customers. 😁

And tonite I am wondering.... what should I eat....... 9pm now and I am freaking hungry.
Oh my.
My dear ex colleague just gave me a fruit salad mix. Should I go for it?
I guess so, ya....
To close my 1st day.
Of no rice. 😎

Dead and what remains.

15 October 2018.

Just this morning. I received a bad news regarding one of my university friend, dead.
He is my age, and now, dead.
Such a bad news, and it was not the one and only bad news I have received over last couple of weeks.
Started by my husband, telling me couple of guys at haemodialysis center, has passed away. We knew those men, and sad to hear the news.
Later, my former boss, be-dearest, was dying, when I came visit her at the hospital.
I kissed her goodbye, and told her how I do love her, and Jesus loves her.
Then later that day, she also passed away.
My thought was with my other work mate, who suffered almost similar disease with my former boss, and today also, we heard she has passed away on 5th October.
And today.

It really made me realize, how fragile our life is. How soon is our "day"? No body knows. No body knows at all.

You make educated guess, you have feelings, yet No Body Knows.

We all are just like dust. Today it is there, and the next day it is blown wherever.

What remains, stays. Sometimes neglected, sometimes appreciated - and make the dead immortal, the memory of them.
