a new beginning

Introducing Maslowers!

Band ini dibentuk pada bulan Mei 2009 yang beranggotakan nindy (keyboard , arasemen), donald (vokalis), rejos (saxophone), aji (gitaris), sinta (bass), vania (drum), dan saya (vokalis)! Berawal dari ke-ingin-tampilan kami yang belum tepenuhi selama kuliah *hahahaha. Berdasarkan teori maslow mengenai kebutuhan hidup manusia yang bertingkat, di mana tingkat paling ujung adalah "self-actualization", kami membentuk band ini *alasan yang paling aneh sepanjang sejarah kali ya hahaha. Teori ini juga yang menjadi inspirasi bagi kami untuk memberi band ini dengan nama Maslowers! Pertama kali band ini tampil pada malam syukuran wisuda oktober 2009 teknik industri ITB. Nantikan aksi selanjutnya! :)) *kalo ada

Bercanda deng. Sebenernya Band ini dibentuk untuk tampil pada acara wisuda Juli 09 tapi karena ada satu dan lain hal tampilnya diundur jadi untuk wisuda Oktober 09. Kapan pun tampilnya, tujuannya masih sama, kami ingin memberikan persembahan kepada teman2 kami terutama teman2 angkatan teknik industri 2005 yang telah 4 tahun lebih bersama mengarungi liku2 perkuliahan. Lagu yang dibawakan adalah Ipang - Sahabat kecil dan Lagu angkatan TI 2005.

But anyway long live Maslowers!! haha

Won't Stop

by OneRepublic

Uh ohh
Now I stared at you
From across the room
Until both my eyes were faded
I was in a rush
I was out of luck
Now I'm so glad that I waited
Well you were almost there
Almost mine...yeah
They say love ain't fair
But I'm doing fine...

Cause i swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that I’ve waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain't gonna stop
No it just won’t stop
Uh oh oh
Yeah

Now you were fine by night
But when the morning light comes
Comfortable as rain on Sunday
And I’m a lucky soul
That holds your hand so tight
Hope you hear this one day
Don’t fool yourself
This is my truth

I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that i waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain’t gonna stop
It just won’t stop

You take this hand
You take this heart
Steal my bones
From a thousand miles apart
Feels so cold
Felt just like its ten shades of winter
And i need the sun
Ohh yeahh
Oh oh no no yeah yeah

And i swear it’s you
I swear you
I swear it's you that it waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear its
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that I’ve waited for
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain’t gonna stop
It just won’t stop
Heyy yeahh
It just won’t stop
No no no no woahh yeah
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
Ohh yeah

Wisuda Oktober 2009/2010

Wow ini hari wisuda saya nih. Hari yang membahagiakan sekali. Setelah 4 tahun lebih 1 bulan berjuang menjadi seorang mahasiswa. Akhirnya terbayar sudah. Saya lulus! :)

Menabur Benih

Satu-satunya hal yang bertahan sepanjang masa adalah hukum pertanian. Saya harus mengolah tanah, menabur benih, menyianginya, menyiramnya, merawatnya, sampai tumbuh dan siap untuk dipanen.

Benih yang ini berbeda dengan benih-benih yang lain. Benih ini akan tumbuh bergantung dengan tanah dan perawatan yang diberikan. Untuk menyesuaikan dengan tanah yang ada sangat sulit sekali. Saya harus mencari ke semua tempat dimana benih ini sesuai dan tumbuh dengan baik. Terkadang benih dapat tumbuh di berbagai tempat sehingga yang membedakan adalah hasil panen yang kita dapat nantinya.

Ternyata susah sekali untuk bisa menemukan tempat yang sesuai. Semua orang menabur benih. Semua menabur benih. Persaingan ini sangat ketat kawan-kawan! Namun saya yakin, Allah tidak menciptakan benih ini sendirian. Pasti ada pasangan tanah dimana benih ini dapat tumbuh dan berbuah.

Benih yang saya maksud disini adalah skill dan karakter saya. Sedangkan tanah dan perawatan adalah perusahaan dan kompensasi yang diberikan. Semoga saya dan teman-teman dapat cepat-cepat menemukan tanah kita masing-masing. Biar segera kita tumbuh, segera memberi kontribusi kepada semua orang yang kita sayangi. Amin ya robbal alamin.

How to gain confident!

Beberapa hari terakhir, saya menyadari sesuatu yang harus segera saya perbaiki dalam diri saya. Saya tipe orang yang sangat tidak percaya diri. Terlebih lagi dalam hal berbicara di depan banyak orang atau dalam hal yang lainnya. Ketidakpercayadirian ini terkadang membuat saya bertingkah aneh di depan orang-orang hahahaha. Kemudian terpintas dalam benak saya untuk mencoba mencari-cari tips-tips bagaimana meningkatkan kepercayaan terhadap diri sendiri. Berikut ini poin-poin yang menurut saya penting untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri.

1. Choose a role model, whether someone close to you, or someone famous. Think of the qualities that the role model displays, whether physical, emotional, moral, and/or spiritual. Work towards acquiring those.

2. Don't think about yourself too much. Try not to focus negatively on how you come across or how others may perceive you. Instead, focus more on making other people happy, and that will build your confidence as other people start enjoying your company.

3. Accept compliments gracefully. Don't roll your eyes and say, "Yeah, right," or shrug it off. Take it to heart and respond positively ("Thank you" and a smile works well).

4. Know that you have important things to say and do. When you feel strongly about something, speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people. Be yourself.

5. Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet. Don't abuse your body, don't overload it, and don't deny it any of the things it needs. At the same time, don't obsess. Buying all the moisturizers, creams and conditioners will not bring you closer to who you want to be. Those things are only band-aids and make up. Confidence comes from within. Take the time to reflect on your life and do some emotional maintenance. In order to be truly confident, you absolutely must value yourself and understand that your well-being is important.

6. Work out. This is a real fast change. The gym can transform even the last geek. It will help you be who you are, and not be afraid of it. That's the real confidence. Getting enough exercise can boost your confidence amazingly. Not only will it give you more energy throughout the day, but being in good physical shape will make you feel more "worthy" you could say, to talk to others be yourself. (Ini susah banget kayaknya harus mulai fitness ini, hahahah)

7. Stick up for yourself. If people put you down (and not in a good-natured, joking way), then let them know that their opinion of you is not held by everyone—most of all yourself. This may, at first, be hard to do. But once you stick up for yourself a few times, your confidence builds and you get more adept at it.

8. Celebrate your individuality. If you know you've got something special or different, then embrace it; don't hide it! That's diversity! You may wish that you were taller, or shorter, skinnier, stronger, whatever the case may be. But you need to realize that, if you were like everyone else, then you wouldn't be who you are. "What am I?" you ask; the answer's easy: You're a unique individual who is capable of growing and learning.

9. Take action. It is surprising how powerful the simple step of taking an action can be. And the action you take need not be something extravagant or grand. It could be something as simple as tackling a task that you have been procrastinating, such as writing a letter or tidying up that corner of the garage that has been out of control for the last several months. It could also be something as interesting as taking a class in yoga, art, interior design, anything that interests you that you haven't done yet. Whether large or small, action brings with it exhilaration, enthusiasm, and the confidence that other things can be done as well.

10. Improve your posture. Don't slouch or slump your shoulders; nothing says "I lack confidence" more than a person who appears like they're trying to hide from the world. Make sure that your back is straight, your shoulders are square, and your chest is puffed out slightly (but stay loose, otherwise you'll appear stiff and uptight). Keep your chin up and your eyes forward rather than looking at the ground.

11. Make a conscious effort to smile often. A smile makes you appear warm, honest, friendly, and confident. You can also just relax your facial muscles entirely, which will make you appear calm and relaxed. Observe yourself in a mirror to make sure that you don't have a tense or nervous facial expression, because if you do others will believe you to be sad, angry, or uncomfortable.

12. Make eye contact with others, especially when engaging in conversation. Gaze into the other person's eyes as you talk to make yourself seem interested, calm, and confident. Avoiding eye contact makes you appear shy and submissive, while directly staring for too long may make you appear angry or scared. So the best advice is to gaze into a person's eyes as you converse with them while occasionally shifting your gaze or looking around.

13. Act confident, even if you don't truly feel it. After a while, it will come naturally, and you will feel confident in yourself! Also, learn to not care what others think of you. If you let what people say to you bring you down, you will never be happy. Only care about how you feel about yourself, and don't always take what people say at face value, because they may be jealous of you and are intending to put you down. Don't let them stop your progress, but stand up for yourself while acting calmly!

So, what are we waiting for! lets be confident today!

16 September yang menegangkan!

Hari ini hari saya sidang untuk memperoleh gelar Sarjana Teknik di Teknik Industri ITB. Dengan penguji Pak Anas, dan Pak Icak (*glek...) Momen yang penuh ketegangan ini dibumbui dengan kejadian2 lain yang turut menegangkan sekali.

Jadi begini ceritanya,

Pagi hari jam 3 saya bangun langsung sahur dan persiapan untuk sidang. Saking tegang dan gemeterannya saya berangkat jam 6 lebih dikit. Sidang saya jadwalnya jam 8.00 ahahaha. Sampai di kampus sepi abis ti masih sepi siiiiiing. Alhasil saya jalan2 lah itu muter2 itb kagak jelas. akhirnya ketika mau balik lagi ke TI saya teringat laptop pinjeman wilaga kagak dibawa. (*btw, makasih ya wil) huaaa mau sidang pake apa gw. Langsung lari2 lah saya balik ke kosan ambil laptop. Sampai2 di TI lagi udah keringetan. Ketemu sama Mita jilbab yang mau sidang juga dengan jadwal yang sama. Bedanya dia di Ruang Seminar TI, saya di Ruang Seminar LIPO.

Pas sidang. Fiuuuhhh bantai sana bantai sini... hahahaha. Untungnya bapak2nya nyantai... Pak Tjok juga baik sekali membantu saya. Terima kasih banyak pak. Kejadian yg paling lucu pas sidang saat Pak Tjok kelepasan wkwkwk..... Kira2 seperti ini yang diomongkan: "Lo seharusnya bukan itu jawabannya... blablabla...". Kocak abis keceplosan pake bahasa gaul. Sebenernya saya mau bales "Iya sih seharusnya gw gak jawab itu ya Pak" ahahahaha....

Selesai diumumkan nilai saya. Saya sangat bersyukur sekali. Saya sudah ST. Tapi entah mengapa seperti ada sesuatu yang buat saya tidak bisa lepas atau lega seperti yang saya bayangkan sebelumnya. Ini tidak ada kaitannya sama sekali dengan nilai saya. Saya sangat bersyukur dapet nilai A AB A. Rasanya beda sekali, bahagianya tidak seperti bahagia yang saya bayangkan sebelum-sebelumnya. Rasa bahagia sudah selesai sidang.

Selesai sidang saya tidak beranjak pulang. Saya melihat sidang teman-teman yang lain yang sama sidangnya. Kurang lebih ada 11 orang yang sidang di hari ini.

Kejadian lain menimpa saya. Saya sempat kehilangan HP. Tolol! Itu gawat abis sumpah ketololan yang sangat2 tolol. Saya menucapkan terima kasih kepada semua teman2 yang sudah ikut membantu mencari hp saya hahaha. Kepada vandos, bayu, arrum, irra, simon, abay, asti, dinda, agung, inu, deri, terima kasih sekali lagi. HP saya tidak hilang melainkan nyelip di sofa TU TI saat bimbingan revisi TA dengan Pak Ari. Lebih dari 2 jam saya deg-degan takut hilang beneran. Sedih banget rasanya kalo sampai HP hilang. Masa abis sidang malah kena musibah. Tapi untungnya ketemu, vandos yang bantu nemuin.

Kejadian yang terakhir ini benar2 membuat saya lega sekaligus merenungkan banyak hal. diantaranya kebahagiaan dan rasa lega yang saya tunggu2 dari tadi pagi muncul juga. hahahaha. Mungkin hilangnya HP ini menjadi suatu peringatan kepada saya yang kurang bersyukur selesai sidang untuk lebih bersyukur lagi atas hadiah yang saya minta setiap malam. Hadiah agar dapat wisuda Oktober.

Benar-benar hari yang sangat menegangkan! Saya sangat bersyukur sekali atas semua kejadian hari ini. sangat-sangat bersyukur.... karena banyak sekali hikmah dan pelajaran yang saya dapatkan. Mulai dari pertemanan, pelajaran untuk bersabar, pelajaran bersyukur, dan pelajaran-pelajaran yang lainnya.

Oh ya, satu lagi. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya kepada teman-teman yang bersedia datang di pagi hari untuk menonton dan memberi dukungan saat sidang saya. Terima kasih kepada wilaga, vandos, irra, habu, tendy, ditta, simon'06, christine'06 dan novi, dan teman lain yang tidak disebutkan. Terima kasih terima kasih.....

Dan kepada pembimbing saya Bapak Tjokorda Made Agung Ari Samadhi, dan Penguji Anas Ma'ruf dan Andi Cakravastria. Terima kasih banyak ya Pak!

Bismillah

16 September 2009

Telat sebulan dari target ahahahaha. Semoga semuanya lancar.

Sidang TA S1 TI ITB.
Pembimbing: Pak Tjok Tercinta
Penguji: Pak Anas, Pak Icak (please easy on me sir sir)

Sholat Tanda Rasa Syukur

Sholat bukan hanya sebagai kewajiban kita untuk menyembah sang Pencipta. Namun, sholat adalah bentuk rasa syukur rasa terima kasih atas segala nikmat yang telah diberikan kepada kita selama ini (quote : imam sholat jumat, 28 Agustus 2009).

Banyak sekali nikmat yang diberikan ALlah SWT kepada kita! Nikmat makan, minum, tidur, pergi ke kampus, pergi jalan-jalan, pergi nonton, pergi dugem, nikmat membaca, menonton film, nikmat naik angkot, nikmat menangis, nikmat sehat, nikmat tertawa, nikmat internet, nikmat berlibur, nikmat kasih sayang, dan masih banyak lagi nikmat yang lain.

Rasanya tidak lah adil kalau kita hanya menikmati segala kenikmatan yang diberikan namun kita lupa untuk bersyukur kepadaNYA..... Mari kawan mulai sekarang kita tingkatkan lagi amal sholat kita! yang sering bolong mari dikurangi, yang sering mengakhirkan mari diawali.... Happy Ramadhan everyone! :)
