PHD

2011-12-19T04:11:00.000-08:00

What is Phd ? is that doctor of philosophy or permanent head damage ?? he he
Now i start to accept that Phd is permanent head damage, that definition is not joking even it happen in my life now.

Why permanent head damage:

1. Every weak should report to the professor about something or many things that he/she assigned for me.

2. Every weak should crumble down the project for each subject that i took for this semester, i am first semester now (2012/12)

3. need to prepare qualifying exams

4. need to prepare international Journal, at least two

5. need to prepare dissertation

even i think that phd is like we are working hard but we dont get money for that, even we dont have a company for that.

so we are working for something that not sure.

but in other hand, i felt that i am so lucky took this Phd program, since i can study many things, i can learn by my self, improve my skill, analysis, and all about knowledge.

there will always have positive and negative in a case.

just depend on us how we see half a glass of water / (be an optimist one or pessimist)

i wrote this blog in my study room HB72, Asia University Taiwan.
and i am not sure i have a free time or not right now.

write this blog post means i sacrifice my time to prepare my sas code for tomorrow.

so enjoy the story -- i go back to my track

Fine Dining

2011-12-19T03:53:00.000-08:00

I got the invitation for Fine Dining last month, November 2011 in Taiwan. On that invitation there is dress code that i should wear to enter the room, and the dress code is semi-formal.

Therefore i am confuse with 2 words above, what is fine dining ?, and what is semi-formal dress code ?

Before comes to that definition, i would like to tell you about my story when i came on that invitation.

Overall, the atmosphere is elegant, the music is Jazz, i remember one song is "the way you look tonight", all people dress formal and elegant, i was so lucky to wear blezer and jeans if not i will out of dress code.

therefore be careful with semi-formal dress code, at least you use blezer but it will be better if you can wear young executive dress code.

and fine dining is a dinner, the food is well prepare, and waitress and waiter use white dress code, serve well, and the menu will come on the schedule, so first time may be first menu and until last time last menu.

then i enjoy that fine dining night, nice talk with doctor Victor and his family in that table.

somehow from that invitation i know about fine dining and semi formal definition

when love can not be achieved

2011-01-04T07:51:00.000-08:00

I just want to share about how sad, upset and disappointed when love cant be achieved.

But in my mind i never insist myself to reach it again so just let it be, all is well, everything gonna Be OK. and i believe GOD will give the best for me.

And this way/method have a significant positive impact for myself, i can move on, and my jargon is We walk for future not for past time so why worry ?.

For me love is one thing when person can accept and giving anything from his couple, and blind for other choice and have a strong commitment.

Taiwanese tradition in celebration Lunar new year

2010-12-26T19:18:00.000-08:00

Lunar new year is one of big celebration for Taiwanese and they have a tradition to stay together in their grandpa house and take a dinner together with all family.

In dinner time, the ancient believe that when they eat fish for dinner in Lunar new year, they should left some part of fish.

why ?

because they trust that when you go to new year means you left something in previous year, so that was why they should left some part of fish. and it was just tradition.

everyone will busy on that day, the food store, restaurant and such of that will get much money since Taiwanese will celebrate it outside home too either with their family or friends.

Happy new Year Everyone....

How Important Destination Language For Foreign Students

2010-12-16T00:55:00.000-08:00

Many case will be found that when we study abroad, we will face language barrier. and i felt that right now. even if destination university provide international class, sometimes they also will included local student in that class. so sometimes the Professor will use bilingual language. for the local student and foreigner.

Something that make me sad is that when i join group meeting, so everybody is prefer to use their own language to communicate each other then English language, so i am minority, and sometimes when i come to my group meeting i will not get anything since i do not know their language and mandarin language is the most difficult in worldwide.

So my suggestion to all of students who want pursue study to abroad, you should learn destination language because it will be so important and give big contribution to your study.

so prepare it beside English language skill

Languages is the main important guys...

wo ding bu dong zhongwen, wo kan bu dong. wo zhi keyi shuo yi dian zhongwen, wo keyi mai dong xi, wo yao du shu yi du shu...

winter at Taiwan

2010-12-07T18:33:00.000-08:00

this is my second winter period in taiwan, today november, 8th. 2010, the temperature is around 13 celcius, i should wear a warm jacket definately.

in my point of view, the beauty and unique about the wheather in Taiwan is that : in the same time this formosa state is able to have 3 seasons, for example : Taipe is so cold around 5 celcius, substantially Taichung is more warm around 13 celcius and Kaoshung could be 20 celcius. so those are the different winter of Taiwan.

beside we felt cold in a winter term, taiwan also popular with its wind, so it make the situation become more cold, the wind sometimes blow strong, so we should prepare winter costum well.

and sometimes the wheather will change suddenly is like summer, so taiwan wheather is unique

Part timer job In Abroud

2010-02-15T19:01:00.000-08:00

first, absolutely across in our mind part time job in abroad will generate much money, because of the different of state currency, many students will utilize this chance for additional income, especially students from developing country who pursue their study to develop country, in particularly, Indonesian students who study in Taiwan, Thailand students who study in China and so forth. because of that many people take that chance to collect money

how come we can get the part time job :
1. Language : English and resident language/the place to pursue study
2. Attitude : behave and make sure everything is OK
3. Skill : always Carefully and Faster in working

about salary, if we compare between Indonesia and Taiwan, part time job's salary in Taiwan would really satisfied, for example 1 month work in restaurant, twice in a week, we can get about 5.000 NT it is equal with almost 2.000.000 Rupiahs

so in my point of view, no reason for international students from developing country who pursue study to develop country will feel burden in economic

chinese new year

2010-02-14T07:42:00.000-08:00

Chinese new year is celebrated in worldwide for the Chinese ethnic, start from 13 to 21 of February people will busy inside that activity, as a tradition in the first day people will be together with their big family for dinner, next people will go to the family of father, next people will go to the family of mother and further people can visit their friends house and then they can refreshing and take a rest.

1 thing that most famous in Chinese new year is Red Amplop "ampau", usually the older one will give to the younger one, the amount of money is up to us, some people sometimes give money based on the meaning of how much money they give, for example : if you give man money as much as 1 Dollar it means that start something new from zero and be better...

In my point of view, this tradition is seem like Lebaran Idul Fitri for Moslem, pretty much same about the hole of activity, the most important that we can be together with our family..

Plus Minus Computers For The Toddler

2009-11-28T22:41:00.001-08:00

Computers can be used as a means of stimulation. However, do not let children addiction for that.
The question is, may the toddler introduce to the computer? The answer, it's okay. Moreover, this technology can not be avoided to use in the present and future.
However, there are a few things should consider by a parent, such as:
1. Introducing computers peripheral
The first step is to introduce children to the computer hardware, such as where the mouse, keyboard, Central Processing Unit (CPU), modem (if visible), speakers, and monitors. Explain each function one by one according to the understanding of the child.
Principally, the child can touch the device if not connected to electricity directly. Take care for the cable and environment around the computer area in order to avoid short circuit occurs or the possibility attack by electric shock by certain parts of the computer device. we do not need to teach toddlers how to turn on the computer because it is usually in contact with the stabilizer directly related to electrical wires.
In order for the introduction of the computer device is comfortable, find the child table or chair in accordance with his size (ergonomic). That way, the toddler can use it with ease. For example, do not let the location of the mouse and the monitor is too high so that the heads should look up that can cause fatigue. Just so you know, tools are not ergonomic work was not good for the anatomy of the child for the long term.
2. Recognizing Edutainment program
Initially focused on computer data processing. However, because the rapidly growing technology, today computers have become a means of information and education. Well, the second thing that can try is to introduce children to the application programs (software) that are educating and entertaining is the combination of education and entertainment. Application program is able to develop creativity, imagination, and train child motor nerves. For example, a game know it, make a simple pasel, looking for the same thing, knowing letters, knows colors, songs, and so on. Usually, for the toddler who emphasized the introduction of pictures, colors, and sounds.

actually for this case ofcourse there are positive effect and negative effect, it depends on parents in managing this method so that we can avoid the negative effect.

positive effects : it can stimulate the toddler brain, trigger them to further study, and teach them to concentrate in something and so forth.
negative effect : radiation effect of monitor, so parents should setting the monitor, about the distance between monitor and user and then ligthening in the room and so forth, and then software selection, the matterial should not have abusement and violation. limitation of time so that the toodler do not addict with computer.

Study in abroud

2009-11-16T19:15:00.000-08:00

When you want to study in abroad there are a few thing that you should prepare, such as :

1. english language
2. destination language
3. money
4. skill / method for study
5. willingness and high motivation

let me explain point by point above he he :

ENGLISH SKILL
when you are able to speak english it will really help you since english is international language, and almost lectures, teaching and learning process will use english. prepare your self, you should have a brave to speak, pronunciation, and practice

DESTINATION LANGUAGE
we need to know about local language in destination country, because it would help you to communicate, buying food, english is not always able to be understood by local people, and one benefit again you can work part time by local language

MONEY
if you study abroud not from scholarship program i am sure that you are Rich but else means you follow scholarship program, you should prepare your money at least 10 million in the early, it would include all the thing such as : ticket, any requirement, insurance and anything before scholarship incentive comes to you. even if you got scholarship incentive you still need to manage your financial, may be you can cook by your self, it would be really help to save our money..

SKILL/METHOD FOR STUDY
commonly all books, papers will available in english, presentation also will always happen, sometimes lectures will use local language, so when you want to apply for scholarship you should ask to the officer, does that program will be taught in english ??, it really need, so make sure for that. the most important that you have a high motivation to study....

WILLINGNESS AND HIGH MOTIVATION
this part is the most important thing, controlling your self, focus and enjoy, the way is that make a planning what would you achieve as long as you study abroad, praying, smile, chatting he he and so forth...

The power of prayer

2009-11-13T21:38:00.000-08:00

this is true story :

god hear my prayer, i believe in the miracle, i believe with ALLAH SWT because i feel the mercy in my life....

i trust you god, when i pray and ask something to you : and then you show me your power, you give the way....

even though i can not tell the story here, i loss my control right now, my tears fall down, because of the mercy from ALLAH SWT....

if i trace back my life, i believe god really loves me, god understand me, forgive my mistake, give me the way to reach success....

this topic is just sound of my feeling, thank you god, thank you god, thank you.......

How if i do not have a religion ?

2009-10-17T03:16:00.000-07:00

This topic appear when i ask some student that major in English at Asia University Taiwan in English corner session

Me : have you a religion ?
student : no i do not have

when i hear that statement, actually little bit shock but i think it is fine

so rise a question in my mind :

1. What is a benefit and harmful to have a God or not ?
2. Whether we should proud to people who does not have a religion ?

In one side i think that is a real freedom, what is needed is that tolerate and self controlling ( People in Taiwan was implement that, does Indonesian that really support democracy and tolerance is able to implement that ? )

In answering the issue number one above :
i think some of rule from god is able to control us and as a principal of life, so it becomes a good pointer for human, but in the different point of view human is able to create their own principal of life since all the thing will comeback to each people awareness

in some research : some people said that the different is in stress level in human, people who have religion will have more stable for controlling their self ( may be yes may be no ).

for responding the issue number two above :
people have their own way, none people can intervene in people right especially whether they need to have a religion or not, so absolutely i proud of them, because they believe with their choice.

so what do you think ?

Tips for speaking and writing english

2009-10-08T17:03:00.000-07:00

In learning english : writing and speaking we will find two different between west people and east people :

1. In writing east people usually more explanation and not to the point so 1 sentence is not clear enough. They prefer to make it as long as possible. In other hand west people never do that, they make 1 sentence become clear able to understand.

In scientific paper eg: thesis. We must use west people style in writing

2. In speaking, west people always carefully with their pronunciation (a, i, u, e, o), we should clearly spell that in speaking, and east people do not focus on that even never learn about that, our teacher just give us more in grammar

So if you want to be good spoken English, you should carefully with two tips above

2009-09-17T08:13:00.000-07:00

in the first time, i assume that to be full scholarship student will still burden me and family economically and study abroad will really hard to get, really hard to do and big risk and full of questions...

but after i follow the scholarship program and take then enjoy that, i know no people is perfect and there is no impossible, the most important is you are confidence with your self, brave and just think that you are special

because the one who should respect your self is yours and dont think that you are stupid, dont think that you are not capable, dont give up before you try, everything can be changed

so far to be full scholarship student make me understand that it is amazing, everything can be managed, dont afraid, you will fail, dont afraid the money is not enough he he

in abroud we are special, native people respect us more then local people, so it will be a lot of wonderful thing that you will get

so chance will not comes two times, if you have a great chance just take it, just do your best, never think the result, because the judge is god

at the end, to be full scholarship is a prestige and the way to obtain bright future

the way are :

1. polite : respect all people

3. motivation : NEVER think you are not OK and you are not capable
4. Skill : try to study, not mind even if you have low skill, still there training from company, and you can still study
5. attitude : habitual, shake hands, talking, in the interview process, just show off, package your answer as good as posible, confidence
6. preparation : performance, the way you sit, smile, active..

hope those would be useful

Pornography and Pornoaction Law

2008-11-29T04:06:00.000-08:00

lets debate with me ??

my core why agree with UUAPP : because of protection, good role model for young generation.

some contents :

-Pornography is the material that sexuality is created by humans in the form of images, sketches, illustrations, photographs, writing, sound, sound, moving pictures, animation, cartoons, minstrelsy, conversation, body movement, or any other form of communication message through various forms of media and communications / or performance in public, which can arouse sexual desire and / or violate the values of decency in the community.

- Everyone is prohibited to produce, create, reproduce, reproduce, disseminate, broadcast, importing, exporting, offering, trade and buy, rent, or provide a load of pornography: making love, including sexual violence, Masturbation, nudity or view the impressive nudity or genitalia.

so at least what i see this bills can be a prevention to all people to express their freedom of expression in term of sexual

and i see it need to be done, because we are in religion country, and what so ever we dont need to show off something that related to the sexual, because that is enough in term of privacy and dont need to show to public and also the influence to other is so big if there is something action about sex that consume by people (human), because every human have a sex desire so those action that related to the sex will directly come to our brain and to our "human needed" as a human so its why proof that influence in term of something that related to the sex is so big

we need protect our young generation

if you are parents, you need protect your children (is it correct?, so aggree with me)

if you are children you need to be protected, you need good role model (is it correct ?, so agree with me)

so guys to all people who againts bill, you can not ignore some benefit of this constitution

so pornography and Pornoaction Law also can educate us

please open your mind, and speak up

expert in computer and few language

2008-11-29T02:53:00.000-08:00

computer then a few language are so important in facing globalization competition, because those are main skill that most needed in every sect, and i believe being literate in computer and a few language will give us a brighter future

are you?

right now, my way in progressing to accomplish that, i try to be expert in computer and i go to amikom jogjakarta to study, and i try to expert in english, i follow english organisation at amikom and i try show my quality until i can be part of amikom debate team to compete in national grade..

i am so happy because by follow that competition means need a lot of preparation, so i need work hard to repair my english and my brain, because debate need a smart people that know all information around the world issue and how they see that issue

and now, i am also take a couse for germany language at arkha paramitha institution in jogja, my desire right now is not in english again but in germany language, i want expert on that
because there is something target on that in my life

so guys not means that in this blog i want to show that i am the best one

but i just want to share to you all, and my self be a comparison

i am sure i am still not get the best one in my life

come on guys, make your self proud

advantages to be debater

2008-11-29T02:34:00.000-08:00

by empiris, i see there was a different between common people with debater one
almost debater have a strict perspective, and they good in communication, and have a high confidence...

are you debater ??

real debater is someone who have a principal that their enemy is "nothing", and their judge is "god" means they are good competitor, because by those motto show that they believe with their ability, that actually the most important one, because if you dont believe with your ability how you will be the winning in the competition ?????, so there will be just two option : dead or win

so guys if we implemet that motto in facing our day, i believe we will be the winner

"legends are made by work hard"

confidence

2008-11-29T02:11:00.000-08:00

confidence is not means there is not afraid and worry, confidence is how to fight those feeling, also confidence can create by experience, if we ever done that, we will have a brave to repeat that, sometime i also think that i am not ok but you are ok means i am not confidence in that time but i understand that i must go beyond my limit, and try to be professional in this young old, how ever confidence also need our effort, we can not be confidence if we dont have anything so we must prepare all the thing that need to support us to be confidence and even if you are confidence but please still in " i am ok and you are ok" principal means that you will be not arogant, and people will like you

so life give us a lesson how to see the run down of our life

i do hope all of you can understand by this blog about "confidence"

i do confidence

are you confidence??

--life is always do a rotation, when you get something you will loss something....--

--life is so cruel, and life be in our hand base on our effort--

yes i see fail and victory is depend on me
but somehow it is not really true, i also will not understand why i fail and why i fail
because i have done my best effort
always fail and it hurt, i always try to be best in everything...
and all for the best because i am afraid to be optimist, i am afraid if i can not reach my goal
my failure is so big

shy, shame...... always come to me
wow not easy to be me....

and all of that make me relize that i am not special

i never stop to expect my best in my life
i never stop to try
because i believe with the rotation
i believe with my effort

global warming

2008-06-06T15:55:00.000-07:00

In My Point of View, I think global warming will occur Coz The economic development of each country and the world with increasing polution, and we must know that "the economy and environment can not move together" then one will be sacrificed, almost all countries will sacrifice the Environment, include: USA , PAKISTAN, the industry state and All Other states were Contribute to damage the Environment .......

Then when the impact is felt, some people include: ALGHOR candidates of the United States president to promote attention to environment damage, and several European countries whom wise...., this act also cant make relize all society, example: Bush considers that aLgor is Mad, because the theories is considered quite hot and bouquets, and many other countries that do not ratify the Kyoto Protocol (the mechanism to save the environment, more complete search on google,ok), it can be concluded that awareness of the world is still very poor, the global warming is a problem for all of us, yes right?

I just want to inform you, come on we begin save the environment from our self, many ways that you can do such as: keep using your electricity, which contain CFC (greenhouse gases), find products that do not cause effects greenhouse, so avoiding the use of plastic shopping or to the National stores carry their own bags or use the friendly environmently bag, guard the forest, planting trees and any action that you can do for the sake of the environment,the most important that you have "awarnest", so come on guys try to keep the environment

I thought to understand about global warming You can watch movies: "inconvinient truth")

last: Stop Global Warming! :)
