hujan bulan juni

it's not june yet..

but this poem does really sweet for me..
well, I am not that kind of poem person, but I don't know why..
this phrase of poem really touch me

aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana;
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan
kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu
aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana;
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan
awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada

and I found the writer's masterpiece, hujan bulan juni

tak ada yang lebih tabah
dari hujan bulan juni
dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
kepada pohon berbunga itu

tak ada yang lebih bijak
dari hujan bulan juni
dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya
yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

tak ada yang lebih arif
dari hujan bulan juni
dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan
diserap akar pohon bunga itu


do really want to read the book and meet the writer!

I moved to tears...

Some weeks ago, I did something that has already been my routine activities in AIESEC,

communicate AIESEC news to the network.

I emailed people about Entrepreneurship & Youth - a Learning Network (EYLN 2010) held by AIESEC in UKM, Malaysia.
One of the people is a (super proactive) student from Universitas Ciputra (Alvin Livano)

Something that came up in my mind is only I know that Alvin and his friends are bunch of youth who has interest in entrepreneurship and this EYLN 2010 event will be such a good thing for them to improve their personal and professional development.

Dude! They are bunch of 18 years super proactive & active learner kids!
how come you don't want to support them!

Amazingly, it returned to positive respond, Alvin start to asked about the program in detail, how to get visa, and how to deal with the Indonesian-going-aboard-tax (read: NPWP thingy)

days turns to weeks

I've got message from Alvin
"Sis, we won the competition in Malaysia"


OMG!!!

OMG!!!

and here is the news from Universitas Ciputra website:

http://www.ciputra.ac.id/news/184-mahasiswa-ibm-berjaya-di-eyln-2010.html

Look at their innocent face in AIESEC activities :) :)
so peaceful :>

They won the 3rd prize for Business Idea Competition and 1st winner for Simulation Business Competition.

today, I've got email from Alvin, and he give testimonial about AIESEC voluntarily (I even did not ask him to write this :D )

Selama di Malaysia, kita bener-bener dianggep temen deket sama temen-temen aiesec Malaysia...

*this is super a medicine of such a broken heart feeling :D

I just want you to know who I am..

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything seems like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

when the transition has finished...

May 18th 2010 is the last day of team to team transition AIESEC in Indonesia National Team

look at our happy face

to celebrate it, we decided to have an economically-better-but-we-still-afford-it food,

and it goes to..

KFC!

even most of us took the 15,000 IDR package that has already contained black pepper chicken, coke, rice, and dessert/appetizer such as pudding, cream soup, etc. :D

after that, random things started to happend

somebody shouted out about visit Jakarta Fashion & Food Festival in Kelapa Gading Mall

then it goes to...

Kampoeng Tempo Doeloe (super delight festival to try traditional food from 1940s era)

*taken by Andra

*taken by me

hmmm... honestly speaking we didn't try any food there, since we have already had our dinner, and we're so FULL

for the Wine & Cheese festival, (in the advertising, it is said that we can try all wine & cheese for free) but in the fact we need to pay 20,000 IDR for the entrace gate and we see it just looks like global village in international congress and we still have a full bottle of red wine that has not been opened yet, then... we just pass it :D

Sooo.... we're just taking picture in every interesting spot such this Betawi House :D

well, generally comment this festival is tottally full of tasty food...

we should visit here again before it finished

then, we went back home...

BUT, in the middle of the journey

Jakarta tempoe doeloe (Jakarta 70s & 30s)

well, this day I have a meeting in Central Jakarta at Sabang street.

in this street, the area really looks like movie in the year 1970s

seriously, I just don't get why there is a gate in front of the street..

to get there, just need to stop in the Sarinah Bus Stop in front of this building

"you can found Sabang street behind this building then in the intersection you can turn left"

(that's what mas-mas transjakarta told me)

the meeting took place in KOPITIAM OEY, a small coffe shop in Sabang Street

"Kopitiam" comes from words: "ka fe tian", means coffe shop in chinese, then aculturated in hokian dialect, so it's called kopitiam

"Oey" is coming from the owner's name Bondan Winarno.. "winarno" become "oey-narno"

I do really love this place because its so vintage

actually this is a new building but decorated in 1930s era

menu book,

in this menu you can also read the history of Kopitiam Oey

in the golden coin, it's written "kopitiam oey"

the food and beverage is not really expensive for such place like this

around 10.000-40.000 IDR or 1-5 USD

in front of me:

left side of me:

and actually the toilet also so vintage

but I'm not really into taking picture of toilet :D

and this is my order, take cost 11,500 IDR or 1,5 USD

the mbak-mbak said to me that the special one in here is Kopi Tubruk and something I've forgot, both of it named ordinary for me, so I take something that is the favorite one here,

smartly, I've forgot the name of this! :D

(maybe vietnamese indochina coffe :D )

I think this coffe is really strong for me since until this time I don't feel sleepy at all!

(hmm.. I should find out the ingredients)

this is a very super cool meeting ever!

Yesterday, for the first time in my AIESEC (and my personal) life, I've got a chance to have meeting with Supervisory Group of AIESEC in Indonesia.

Supervisory Group is one of the bodies in AIESEC that has duties for observing core activity of the AIESEC and assess AIESEC performance in relation to annual goals which are contained in the annual plan of the association, observing properties of AIESEC, approving AIESEC Budget, giving recommendation of AIESEC performance and reporting in minimum one National Conference in one year, observing the legality and accountabilities of AIESEC, assisting AIESEC to select Candidate President and Candidate Vice President, and attending meeting held by President of AIESEC.

this meeting was superb! we have a lot of discussion both professional and personal (during the break time). And as you see, people in SG are a super fabulous people, and they are AIESEC alumni. (and honestly speaking, most of AIESEC member will really look up to these people in imagining their future in 20 years later... hahaha)

Standing:

Mas Dacil (CEO of Markting Komunikasi Indonesia), Ando (LCP BAndung, MCVPe ER), Shirin (LCP UI, MCVPe OGX), Dinta (LCVP TM Bandung, MCVPe TM), Andra (MCVP Finance), Jennie (MCP, AI VPe), Ika (MCPe), Mya (MCVP ER, MCVPe ICX Czech), Cath (MCVP ICX), Nadya (NST National Accountant, MCVPe Finance), Widy (LCP Surabaya, MCVPe Comm), Mas Aidil (super succesful entrepreneur)

Sitting:

Matthew (GM of TIME International), Mas Tommy (Super inspiring lecturer in UAI & LSPR), Mbak Ari (Treasury Director of OCBC Bank), Mas Bido (super great entrepreneur, receive AIESEC Global Alumni Award)

then, something that come up in our mind is:

How to make every AIESECer in Indonesia can feel the same experience like us?

How to make every AIESECer in Indonesia can have the same opportunities like us?
