A Journey Through the Time and Space

22:12 rafi 0 Comments

So, what are you thinking when you heard "Time and Space" at the same time?

As a meteorologist, I remember this as Advection ..... Nah~ Not really. So, time and space is really something to me. I see time and space with different ways. I connect them with my Life, my walkthrough, quality, quantity, and yes, they're binding, they unseperatable, and together they move forward without looking into the Back. Seeing time and space is kind of seeing your journey through Life. Having family, friends, experiences, loves, anything. Everything's bond on time and space, sometimes it's getting bigger, tighter, but sometimes it's just being weaker, and even dissapear. And then, suddently something passed through my mind

Is it really dissapear?

I guess not! According to "Law of Conservation energy" stated that "Energy can't be created or destroyed", I think it's not really dissapear. It just moves into another dimension, which once again, has time and space.

As one of "Feeling" person, I see time and space much wierd. Thinking that everything is not that simple, thinking that everything is predictable, as long as you know the pattern, which way it's gonna go. How big the capacity, how it is gonna end or .... when it will be dissapear and change to be something that you can't even believe that exist.

Talking about feeling is really something. It's invisible, can't view or touch it, but still you can feel it. Like wind, temperature, and pressure. It's measurable! What you need is just finding the instrument, and once again, time and space could be the tools. Changing quality into quantity or vice versa. Time is quality, space is quantity, you can change it into what you want, what you feel it is right, and enjoy it by yourself.

Time and space bond Love .... You need space to love someone, but it's moving forward through time. Bonding them to make it stronger, bigger, and greater. Time and space won't lie, time and space can be the answer .... but you need effort to ask them. So ask them !

Ah, time and space, such happy things having you in here, in my feel, in my mind, with every single possiblities you sketch. Huh~ Beautiful!

So, tonight, I don't know what I feel

I feel confused, sad, angry, it's all mixed into one.
These feelings come after that one problem comes.
At first, I'm literally angry, I just want to curse him. I even said any bad words you know. I hate him, a lot. I would not tell you who he is, but I hate him a lot!
Second, I'm confused. I'm confused with my life, I'm confused what just happened to us, I even asked my self what's wrong. What's wrong with our life, what's wrong with everything I've done. Is there something wrong with us? Why did us get this kind of problem? Ah ! Confused ! Even, I'm confused with the solution. As if, I've found the greatest problem on my life, but it's hard to solve it ! It's harder than finding the solution for Dynamical Meteorology. Literally !
Sad. This feeling succeed to make me cry. Crying for thinking about it. Sad because I'm angry. Sad because I'm confused !
This might the worst blogging I've ever written.
You don't need to read it, you don't need to think it, just let me keep it myself, because this is the way I am.

Hate This Feeling ! - Lonely

But ....





So, stay Positive !

Gadget? Nope Nope Nope

18:31 rafi 0 Comments

Ah, recently, I am kind of Adventurer that travel into several city by taking several kind of Transportation. I am often taking public transportation such as Bus and Train. First, I want to give a special thanks to my Aunt that give me permission to leave on her house and apartment, give me so much facility such as Internet, food, and etc. What a luck to have you aunt :))

So tonight I want to share thing about "How to see the World ...." I got this idea so suddenly, because I was remembered about several things that happened when I was riding public transportation. And the reason is simple, I could see it because I don't have any particular gadget that could distract me for not seeing the world the way it is. I'm feeling grateful because I don't have that kind of facility, I don't have gadget that usually distract my friends by seeing their social media such as Instagram or Facebook, and usually distract them to -you know- open their account and updating where they are, playing games, or even, listening music by using Headset and then they just .... try to close their eyes and get some sleep.

So, rafi, only has Nokia within type 2690, that it does have camera (but with VGA quality) that makes me not really use it, and it surely has Music Application, but... because the battery is often getting low, I prefer not use it because I literally need it to contact and text my friends. Literally. So, I'm just using for phoning and texting after all. Even, to save the batteries, I usually turn off my phone and turn on it when I had arrived.

Several things I literally grateful for are ....
1. I could enjoy my trip and use it for .... Sleeping !

I wake up on 3 (because my auntie woke me up everyday), and doing my things such as charging the Batteries, taking shower, looking the route of Public transportation, and ... on 5 a.m. I should go to train station, which takes about 30-45 minutes, and .... waiting for the train, often not getting a seat because It's really crowd up there, if I'm lucky, I could get one, and .... Of course, try to get some sleep by using it. FYI, using train to my office, is taking 2 hours, literally. So, It's gonna be fucked up if you don't get some seat. I have experienced it, totally. But, Luckily, because I don't have any gadget on it, I could see how Jakarta or Bogor's society work. I realize that this society still stubborn, selfish, and not even think about others, but, when you think it again, when you see it again, it's not that bad. Because .... They're struggling with their life, you know, they can't be late or something (Because when they did, perhaps they could get punishment or something), or .... It's ok for them to stand up along the way, because, the faster they arrived, the longer they have time to Sleep on their office.

When I was on it, I saw these kind of "Bapak-bapak" that always angry with everything, but that makes sense because these crowded sometimes make something funny thought. I remembered when a lot of people scream "WOY! IT DOESN'T FIT AT ALL !" or ... "WOY ! IT'S TOO TIGHT ! YOU CAN'T BE HERE." and many things happened. Some would give up, but some, would try even harder to reach the train. If I count, I guess it takes 20-30 minutes to close the door of the train (Totally narrow and be forced). Moreover, when kind of "mamak-mamak" be recessive, what they do is just Scream and .... gibber. Funny ? Totally !

Beside looking at some kind of accident like that,

It's gonna be different if .... I took Bus on it, it's more expensive, but, we usually get some seat. If don't we could sit on the floor.So, everything should be calculated to save more money. Ah, what a life!

2. I could be grateful for everything I have

Believe me, so much things you could see in this world. It's gonna be so unfortunate if you don't see somthing that you should see. On my way when I went to office, Bogor, Jakarta, and even when I was on Bandung, I see a lot of things ! Literally. I saw someone much detail. Example, when there are street singers, I saw them a lot, I listened to them, sometimes I enjoyed them, sometimes I just didn't. I'm gonna see them and assess them, Are they young? Are they disabilities? Are they good? Not to mention, but I am kind of Judging person. But, judging is important for me, I want to help someone because something, not just because want them to go faster. And you know what, by doing this, you can train your Empathy emotional, and it's kind of important EQ thought. So ....Enjoy your world ! Anyway, sometimes by seeing them, what you can do is simply one, Being graceful for everything you have, you achieve, and your condition right now. Because you have no idea how big their struggle through their life :))

3. Improve your Social EQ

Well, of course it is. And it should seems like it. If you can see how our society today that much enjoyed themself through social Media. That, honestly, dissociate the close one, and vice versa. Is it good? Sometimes it is, sometimes isn't. Me, as the one who's not really using social media (except for looking information about event), feeling disturb when all of my hanging out friends just looking their hp all the time. Kind of "Really nigga?". I often advice them to Enjoy this trip and just look into the real world. Literally. Because it's so sad when you planned to have fun with your friends but .... they just stared at their phone and communicate with you occasionally. HUFT !

Although there must be one thing I hate, NO CAMERA (Actually there is, but, good bye, the quality is suck!) Sometimes I just wanna take some pictures to be a memory .... But, nay. Because I can't.

Overall, I enjoy my self uwooo !

#5 Laziness is not Disease, but Choice

13:03 rafi 0 Comments

Laziness, one of 7 deadly sins that difficult to seek. Sometimes you can't realize their existence because it could be your habit if you did it more and more. As a sixth-semester student, this literally couldn't be happened if you really want to survive in this tough Semester. Literally !

Well, first I must tell you about how -fucked up- this semester thought. First, I have 3 practical schedule. It seems so so right? But, we're totally different ! I assure you that we're kind of programmer and analysist at the same time. We should be able to analyze all of the output by using not only statistical methods, but also the physis itself. Right here, you will get used to listen the "Parameterization","Statistical guidance", and "Ensemble" words for Numerical Prediction Modelling II subject ._. You used to listen the "Multi-linear Regression", "Fast fourier transform","Wavelet","PCA", and "Clustering" for Weather and Climate Data Analysist, and last, you used to listen 5 methods to observe the clouds by using Satellite. All of these, using several tools such as : Fortran 90 for calculating anad managing the data, GrADS for printing the output, and Matlab for both of these. And yes, it's kind of hard to interpret the data by using these tools.

Well, I am not gonna tell you about those Tools, I just wanna tell you about How Important time management would be. On sixth semester, I was confused not only because the Academic stuff, but also the Organization stuff. I would not Complain because that's not my style. I am just sharing it to you so that you won't do the same mistakes or even worst.

Sixth semester assignments are totally evil, it will make you stressed at the same time, you can't leave it alone. I do understand if there would be feeling like "Shit, I wanna stop it!" or "Shit, I can't do this anymore" or "Shit, I am tired ! I wanna go home ! I wanna meet my family", believe me, I have these kind of Feeling. Sixth semester is the only Semester that .... I called my father almost every day, because It's so tired. But with all of these situation,  I don't know, but Sixth Semester is the semester that I achieve more. I could be The Most Outstanding Student on my faculty, I could be Delegate on Beyond (Be a Young Hero on Disaster), I have experience to compete with Business plan competition (Idk but Meteorologist is really different one), and many more, I'm expanding my network a lot, meet with so many Inspirational person, AH ! So much things you should be Grateful for.

The point of this article is ..... I can't get this, if I wasn't giving more time to them. For god sake, our score's been published, and I'm grateful for the grades I get. I remembered how much time I gave to write paper for .... Mapres thing. I remembered that .... when seven of us been choosen, only 2 of us that present our presentation (some says that, they don't have time, some says that they're LAZY). Yeah, lazy. At first, I just want to live myself and .... don't even give a shit with the paper. But then, with all of self-motivated that I said to myself .... "It could give you a lot of experience! It's a chance! Seriously, step back before you take a move?" .... I kept writing, rehearse, rehearse and rehearse for the Presentation .... Without any EXPECTATION to win, I just try to do my best .... the result was .... Wow ! Kind of .... best Achievement I've ever get, literally.

So much things I've learned, one of Important lesson is ..... Just don't ever think that the Laziness is a Disease, because It's all your Choice whether you want to or not, whether you give to or not, whether you will do, or not. Seriously, those assignments won't finish if you don't do it,  those application won't fill if you don't write something, those project won't be done if you don't do it .... As simple as that, even if you work on Group, ok?

Video Called with Merliana Jasri Sipayung !

00:15 rafi 0 Comments

Ah, boring ! Thinking too much about Grades, Thinking too much about Practical Work, and Thinking too much about Future (Because this one group random chat). After writing this, I just have no idea what I am gonna do. So, I chose to chat her, and video called her, one of my best friend from Junior High School and we still keep in touch since we graduated. Woosh ! My classmate and my and even Seatmate ! How could you forget her? Ha?

So, after calling her, we take several photos, here it is :



And yes, we're taking these pictures with the best angle and Style ! Haha

So, today, we discuss about our future. I tell her that I'm fallin in love with this kind of girl, totally beauty, with the best Culture, and smart, I called her LONDON ! Yes, I love London soooo mucchhhhh~~ I tell her that I want to continue my study here, taking Atmospheric Science major, getting Scholarship, having part-time Job, and of course, after graduated would be a great Scientist, Aamiin ! At first, she confused and gave me advice "Why don't you study Economic?" and I'm just like
"....... No mer ! I have put myself here, and I love here, I love Science especially for Meteorology <3"
Although I am not sure where I will take, let's hope the Best !

And she, with her spirit, tell me that she wants to go to Harvard and study Economic thought, but she said that her way still long to go, she means that, she's "Boru Panggoaran", which means the Eldest Daughter on her Family. And she has really big responsible for her Family. So, she said that she's not really into it and she hasn't thought something that Big.

Well, beside chatting about our Future, we're talking about stuff like our major, Intern planning, and our Holidays planning haha.

Whatever it takes, I'm just relief having her as my bestfriend, and hope we could pass the "exam" through our life and we could achieve our Goals with the Best Effort we could give :)

For Merli :

Evaluating, It is Important Thought

22:31 rafi 0 Comments

Ah, the ol.akademik strike again!

After doing our Education System, being such a Student for 3 month more. Some says, these students being a cheap "Slave" for not arguing every Assignments they got. Following all of the Activities as good as you can, and sometimes, learning what the lecturers doesn't give at all. But, for those who has good perspective, hoping that they will learn something that they just knew, and just stay positive, if it seems not useful at all. Well, where was I? I am not sure, that I'm kind of that positive Students, but, I am not really depressed okey. I know, how hard these Sixth Semester, I did believe it will give me a lot of things to learn, not only the Hardskill, but also the softskills. But, when I was studying, I have ever felt these Depressed students who just being a "Slave" for doing some kind of Assignments. So, I put myself on between these two conditions.

Ol.akademik, is one of site belongs to itb.ac.id that saving all of their students academic record. From the status, sillabus, and even the students's "Report". Yes, report. Academic report, which means your grade point from every subjects you're taking. Today, there are 4 subjects that has been rated. For the first time on my life, I got these "T" mark, which means I still has problem for that subject. And then I remember that perhaps I haven't collected my task, so I just need to send it again. And done, problem solved ! And alhamdulillah, another three subjects have a good grade.

And then, still has another 3 subjects that haven't reported on Ol.Akademik, but these have been taped on Meteorology's Board. And voila ! When I saw it, I am not dissapointed at all, but still, I am feeling regret for not doing my best on these Semester. Why? Because I didn't feel anything here, I just can't find my passion, I'm just too depressed for all the problem that comes, everything seems like want to be done, but I just can't. So, this semester, I sacrificed a lot, for my Organization, and even these Academic Stuff that need so much effort on it.

I was fail for balancing my Activities, it will be a great experienced, and I must say that nothing to lose, at all. Although I sacrificed my Leadership Camp, I was not Responsible for my duties on several organization (totally sorry for being such a jerk), and giving a big effort for the Practical but not even listen what the subject was learned and yes, the grade was suck haha.

Overall, after you evaluate yourself, you listed what you should list, change what you should change, and everything depends on your effort to change and not doing the same mistakes over and over again.

Here the Quotes !

What an Unproductive Holidays

22:00 rafi 0 Comments

Halo !
So tonight I want to share about my Holiday that's still running about 3 month to go .... And I must say it's totally Unproductive.... At all !

So, What have I done since 21th May? Hmmmmm, I must say .... I am just playing game, the old ones, from Playstation 1 console (you can say ePSXe). I am playing Monster Rancher 2, what a good game I guess, because it's totally nostalgic <3 Since the first year on these Game, I have grow 5 different monster. Here it is ....





Two of them (Suezo and Pink Angle <- The first time, I should put "Angel" there ... But it's too late!) have been being on Hall of Fame, which is have won the Legend Cup (a Cup for the most Outstanding monster) hoho. Still running Golem type (kind of hard to improve its skill and speed), but still, I almost balance them All ! (I left Int because Golem not really need it). I won't tell you the Recipe for growing these monster, you can find it on google (believe me!)

Beside playing game, I'm usually watching Movies (currently I am hunting Motivational and Teen-Romance and Comedy-Romance Movies). I love romance, a lot ! But looking these bunch of Teenagers with their wild habbit, too freedom because their culture, and can't believe that they can stand for such complicated problem, is totally what I am looking for. Similiar with the Teen-Romance movies, I am looking such mellow-dramas about Comedy-Romance, the problem, the line stories, always make me Smile and emotional (Moreover I am ENFP person) hoho. Here, I recommend you with these kind of Movies !

1. About Time -> what a jerk, cheating your life by your "Time-Machine" power. But still, He has learned how to use it to get these "Happiness" feeling in his life. Make me laugh, a lot ! Although there are several scene that makes you .... So sad ! Huft Great Romantic Movies !

2. In your Eyes -> What if, you've been destined for having your Soulmate? But, they're connected between your Eyes, you're seperated 1600 miles, but you can talk each other (heart to heart), you can see each what your mate sees? Ah :""") Too romantic ! With its light-story line, viewer's heart would be taken to these Soulmates. Their struggle to meet each other literally melt and "Fiuh" my heart! Recommended!

3. The Duff -> Well, you should watch it, I laugh a lot ! literally funny and .... of course you can "Quote" something from this movie. Brilliant !

4. Kelly and Cal -> Well, it's not really good movie, if you see it at first, telling about Unhappy wife that "makes" friend with a Teenage boy .... And yes, it becomes an affair. I won't tell you the story line, but, on the last scene, you can learn something about Marriage. what I learned is "Whatever the condition, it seems hard thought, but you should share what you feel. Just don't judge from what you heard, because sometimes it just a lies, right? So, ust share each others, and find the solution ... Together !". Oh, I think it's not really "Love" what they (Kelly and cal) feel, but it just Lust. And yes, Lust is one of 7 Deadly Sins, right?

Hmmmmm, last, I will tell you about several Motivational Movies, totally Inspired me, a lot ! Having these a lot of Pressure Condition, I even pause and try to take a break for several emotional scene, and I don't know what they feel on that time. I'm totally .... "Shit", "what the hell", "WHAT?!" ....

1. Whiplash !
Huft, I totally recommend you this, because It's totally Great Movie I guess, and after watching it, I have a new perspective about Music, because, behind a great Music Shows (kind of Orcestra), there's a lot of pressure before. And .... Shit, it's really really Breathtaking !

2. Spare Parts
Omg, It's based on True Story, where there are these 4 bunch of Kids, with totally different problem on their Lives, their family. But, with one of Engineer (that's being a Teacher for several month), with their Spirit and their Capability, They established one of Machine for an Competition, and .... With the best story-line (win more anything I guess), these bunch of kids, able to Defeat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I was cry, happy, and ... can't say a thing, I guess, it's totally a Great movie ! Totally. AH ! The point is .... Everyone has their chances, Everyone has their goals, but what makes you can Achieve it, it depends on How hard you try and BELIEVE ! RECOMMENDED !

Hmmmmmmm, I think that's all the story about my Holidays, because, I totally said that it's not really a Productive Holidays .... So, what I do are watching movies, sleep, doing my several responsible, sleeping, watching movies, and .... waiting for my Internship date (Tomorrow is the day!)

Wohooo!

The Ambition

21:25 rafi 0 Comments

Hy guys !

Ah, suddenly I want to tell you about my human 'Goals', you often call it 'Ambition', Purpose, and etc.
Well, let's see ....

When I was 5 y.o., I was first grade on my Elementary School. I remembered several stories such as 'The First Meet', 'Matches', and 'What is your goals?'.

Formerly, seems like many child, when someone asked me "What are you gonna be?" hmmmmm, I answered it simple .... "Doctor ! Because I want to help people tee-hee". Yeah, it's kind of "pasaran" or we often said it "Similiarity", most of Indonesian child has the same goal such as Teacher, Doctor, Astronaut, Pilot, Police. It's not wrong at  all. Because child always has the short-idea although they have no idea what the hell is that ....

And then, on the third class, if I am not wrong my friends or .... my teacher (it's hard to remember it) asked me the same question. You know what the answer? "Astronaut ! Because I want to be the first Indonesian who go to the moon !". As simple as that. Inspired by Neil Armstrong and of course the Astronaut's suit. It seems cool right ? You can go to the moon and 'fly' or 'float'-ing on the moon? Who didn't want that?!

Ah, the first grade on Junior High School ! Somebody asked me the same question, but everything's changed right now .... I answered them "I wanna be .... Export-Import Entrepreneur ! Because I found this kind of businessman that work on Export-Import Entreprises with total Income about 10 Billions rupiah a MONTH! I found him on .... Take Me Out Indonesia ....". Simple right? I just interested with the Income .... and yes, he could get that beautiful women on that shows. He inspired me a lot although .... I have no idea what he was selling -,-

Senior High School .... Everything seems so realistic , Honestly I was totally confused what I am gonna be .... One side, I wanna continue my father's book store (which is gonna be Entrepreneur), One side, I wanna be a Doctor (seems I could be rich guy fast), and another side, I liked to study, a lot, so I wanna be Scientist and found something (Literally, wanna be a Noble Winner !) .... Everything's clear, it has its own goals. But then, I found myself can't stand for seeing so much blood, so, good bye doctor ! And Entrepreneur ... Everyone could be the one ! Even, if I didn't go to college. So, I choose the Scientist one ! Hoho, finally, found the right colleges, many people say that this is The Best College on University, moreover if your major based on Technology. Ah, ITB ! And because all of my ambition to study hard (seems like all of you that .... thinking that Senior High School just need to learn and focus to go to College). I was invited here by SNMPTN :""")

So on the College, if you asked me what is my Goal or Ambition .... I must say "I wanna be Scientist that could make something useful and could give so many benefits to Indonesia ! Like seriously, taking major on Meteorology that only exist on 3 universities in Indonesia .... Although it's been the major that's not really interested. If you can see the Opportunities, if you can see that so much Slot to us could fill, and many things. My father said :

"You don't need to afraid about what you're gonna be, how much you're getting paid or How great your rank. Because it has been decided long before you're born ! Just calm down, as a human you just can hope and DID your best ! You're here for a reason!"

You know what, I got this Ultimate Quotes ever whenever I want to move on and sign-up SBMPTN on Sophomore .... One day before the deadline, one hour before I go to bank :/ And that directly stop my Motorcycle and go back to my Dorm ! Huft ....

So .... Raf, What's the point of this? What's the point of this Article? The point is .... Guys, you should realize that everyday, everytime, everything's changed ! Not only your surrounding, even you're changing ! Include your ambition. Is it good or Bad? Well, it depends on How you see the world, how you see the situation, even how you see yourself. Having Ambition is not wrong, having ambition is not Opportuniesm, Having ambition could push you up. But you must know that you should be able to balance it, because if you don't have it at all, you will careless to yourself. If you're too concerned with it till it makes you become someone that heed every way you take is right .... Of course it's wrong.


So .... Balance it, guys !

THE SIXTH SEMESTER !

00:43 rafi 0 Comments

Ah, Holiday, been reaching my arms and .... giving such a relief !

So, I just can't believe that I have passed this -messed up- semester. Semester that improve the way you manage your time (although almost everything I left about), tested my prioritized (literally, academy was my first prioritized), attending several competition, joining several contest, having a lot of project, and .... much more !

The First Three Weeks

Ah, the first three weeks was totally great. I was feeling "Wah, Is it sixth semester or nay? Because I'm feeling so free. Even I didn't see any hectic moment at all. There are no homeworks, ah totally ease!", I thought. The first three weeks was a great one and just like a dream baby !

The Second .... Unlimited Weeks (?)

Ah, the war begun after all of practical schedules determined ! Unfortunately, when we were organizing the schedule, I can't attend it. Because I was attending another -great time- on Military Academy, Magelang by being participant on Indofood Leadership Camp. I wouldn't tell you about that right here. But I must say that your attendance was totally needed ! Because, you could be messed up for one semester to go If you didn't attend the first two to three weeks. And yes, I am the one who did that !

 So, what did I missed? Well, I was scheduled for attending the practical of "Numerical Weather Prediction II" -we often called it "Model"- on Thursday. Was it wrong, the day they chose? No, not at all. But, This day was fucked up ! You can see "the worst" student, I guess. And when the assistants created the Group. I got "that" one. When I was coming back from the Leadership Camp. I was just like .... "WHAT? Really? well, Let's see ! Hope we can corporate each others." I said on SMILE face. Yes, formerly, I was really fullied with Positivity. Oke ....

What next? The next week, when we have done our practical. We should be able to analyze the model's output. The first module kind of ease. Because, we just need to compare the first and second Domain (I wouldn't tell you about it).

Well, before talking about this Semester, there is something I should tell you.
FYI, "Model" was a famous one. And this is gonna be the fucked up subject on Meteorology, but, it wasn't about the matter or something, but the practical itself, This has been famous as "The killer one" because it will drain your energy ! Totally.

The first module, looks easy, but then ... on this subject, you will learn about the Parameterization. Meteorology itself, literally, has so much variable to be parameterized, And, as a group, we need to see several main parameter on Meteorology such as Temperature and Pressure (as the basics one), Wind, humidity, and precipitation (as the advances one). Every one, should take one parameter to be analyzed. We should change it on every module. 

Okey back to topics, the first module just need some statistical methods to see what's best, the first or the second domain? As the first one, I'm not really cared about it, I thought that I just need the assistants's advice, and make it better on the next module.

And then, for the next module, the war literally begun ! We need to compare Three Schemes that has their own methods to parameterize the variables. So, we need to know the detail about each scheme. Compare it with temporal and spatial stastic (which is more complicated), and yes, we should the physics all of these schemes. And the most Important, we need to make it on ppt, and discuss it on the next two weeks after practical. The keys is simple, make it sort of stories that every parameter has their own connection. THE POINT IS, we literally need to CORPORATE each others. I've told you that I get "that", i didn't know, on my thought is the worst students ever. He didn't even care about himself I guess, so why should he care about these team works? The second module was the examples ! That was totally fucked up module ! We're judged as the worst group, and WE WERE THE ONLY GROUP that need to be revised ! AH !

But then, on the third and fourth Module, I didn't even give a fuck with this practical. So, I'll do it my best, but just for my parameter. "I would not care about yours!". These mind was given by my father that .... I shouldn't think too much about the academic stuff, but the first priority is my Healthy. Thanks anyway dad ! So .... As a project leader, I'll care about my friends's parameter too, so, I would help them, but for the other two, I pressed them, and just giving them the Deadline, I didn't care the way they do, I just care the result, and I would not change anything from their works. That's it !

You will see the differences, between mine, my friends's works and the others. You can see the totallity, you can see the intention, you can see the motivation ! All of it created by The Hard work and "want to change" souls ! I didn't care what's the result, I didn't care if I would get A,B, or C for this subject, What I care is, I would not  repeat the same courses over and over again. That's all ! 

Okey, that was the first Subject .... The second and the third one not really hard but still taking a lot of your time. You should know that all of my practical Deadline were two weeks, But, it seems we need more than that. Here I told you, that on Sunday till Friday, we're often to sleep really really late, and it happens for three months. Because after doing Model, we will hectic to do "Satellite of Meteorology" and "Climate Data Analysist" Deadlines. Every single weeks ! Ah, totally fucked up !!!!!

The Wisdom of Everything

So, on this Semester, many things happened on My life, it's kind of Miracle I guess.

First, I was selected as the Most Outstanding Student on Meteorology Department and Faculty of Earth Science and Technology. I delegate my faculty on Ganeca Prize Competition. This events gave me many things, such as, this was my first English Presentation. I was presenting my presentation on English in front of my Head Department. So, what's the result? I must say .... It's totally messed up ! I was really nervous, I didn''t even saw my talent right there. But then .... I could beat my friend whereas he's really good in English. What I really remember is this "I saw potential, your Achievements are good, you're Entrepreneur, your GPA is better, and about your english, I believe, if you can train it more and more, you will be good. Because, you're Bataknese, your voice is good, what you need is just learn more." my head Department said. Seriously, I totally can't believe at all. Because my first goal just .... getting certificate for these Competition on Meteorology Department.

After fixing my Papers, in the middle of this Hectic Semester, I should prepare my presentation on Faculty. So, I rehearsed, rehearsed, and rehearsed every single night. But still, I am just putting my self as a candidate, not more, I don't even have goals for getting this predicate. After discussing about my papers, I find myself that my nervous has gone ! And I find myself, that .... 

"The first thing to do is TRY, raf. Whatever the result, it has been your experienced, and the second time you do, you won't do something wrong and every obstacle you have felt, would be easy to passed." 

The Announcement day! I was choosen and "SHIT, seriously? I don't believe it ! Why did I?", I thought. I was the first one on my Major since this major established on 2008. :") I don't know how to tell you anymore/

For the Ganeca Prize things. I would say that Every candidates was totally good. Once again, this gave me something such as .... 

"Perhaps I could be best on My major .... but then, there are still many or even much Greater person. So raf, keep grow and improve your Achievements!", I told myself. 

Seriously, I totally excited seeing their presentation, english, and .... Achievements!

Another story came from my Organization .... with all of these Activities, I just can't focus to balance all of this. So, there must be something need to be sacrificed. I am literally sorry to all of my BG's management board for leaving you behind. I promise to do my responsible as good as, as fast as I can. Sorry !

A lot of things happened, that means, a lot of things could be learned. It just a matter how you see the world, I suggest you for not seeing the world on one sides! Never, ever ! There must be something .... like, I felt that I've grown so much, not because the Age, but because the way I Act and think. "Don't give a fuck" is one of example :)

Rafi's Day Off - Missing Family Edition

23:55 rafi 0 Comments

Fiuh, I just watched "Alexander and Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" by Disney. Well. I didn't know that it would be Family-comedy-drama movie, so ... I just watched it. And yes, I still have some space for watching movie :")

Well, when I watched it, suddenly, I miss my family a lot ! Seriously, for sure ! Within them, takin holiday, chit chat, fight, ah ... whatever you name it, as long as it's family stuff, I'm really miss it.

It's kind of sad when you should far away from your home, you know, being nomads for learning, studying, and improvising for your own good. And yes .... you'll miss your family a lot. Sometimes you felt alone like .... there's no someone who would understand your circumstance except your family.

You know what? Fighting or another worst thing that came into you. Sometimes could be the best moment for you and your family because you're being so close. I mean you could know their behavior or personal better, you could know what their feeling more and more. Ah .... It's Life ! You don't know what would come but yes .... it surely has its own reason. You know .... it has its own grand design for everything the 'victim' felt.

Okay. back to the family stuff. Suddently I remember when we're takin holiday to Berastagi. When we're stuck on traffic jam, when we're fighting for something that's not even 'matter' at all, when we prepared our stuff to go, when we're late from schedule, when there's something we left behind .... AH ! FOR SURE .... MISS THAT MOMENT A LOT ! When we're singing songs, fighting again, eating, losing, fighting again. Hmmmmm, I don't know what I want to say .... but thanks for this movie to remind me about them. :"""""))))

Okey, I think that's all what I want to say and share to you. I, hereby said that I totally recommend you for watching this movie. Moreover when you feel you're alone, and you need some flashback about your good story about family !

#4 Menjadi Luar Biasa dalam Berfikir

14:16 rafi 0 Comments

Ah,ini merupakan tulisan keempat tentang Prinsip hidupku. Buat kalian yang bertanya "Ini apaansih raf gajelas banget". Akan terjawab dengan "Yah maafin, aku kan cuma ingin berbagi. Sebagai orang yang open-minded, dalam menyikapi hidup, kalian boleh banget menggunakan perpective orang seperti teman-teman kalian, ceritakanlah masalah kalian ke orang yang kalian percaya, sometimes, akan ada solusinya, kadang tidak. Namun kau bisa belajar dari cara orang lain berfikir. Setidaknya itu yang sering kulakukan".

Berfikir. Sebagai manusia, yang dianugerahkan akal dan pikiran, tentunya kita menggunakan segenap pemikiran-pemikiran yang terkadang liberal, kadang masuk akal, kadang religious, dan banyak lagi. Dari manakah pemikiran ini berasal? Hmmmmm, bisa dari banyak hal ! Yang jelas, buah pemikiran itu berasal dari pengalaman kalian, entah itu dari membaca buku, menonton tv, mendapat nasihat, melihat tukang donat, keluarga, hingga para ustadz. Apa yang kalian lihat, dengar, rasakan, mau tidak mau, suka tidak suka, sebenarnya akan terekam baik di dalam otak. Otak ini, dalam keadaan terdesak akan memproyeksikan segala sesuatu yang pernah terjadi di diri kalian. Otak bekerja bisa karena dipaksa, namun bisa pula karena adanya "shocked" yang membuat ia bekerja tiba-tiba.

Pernahkah kalian dengar "The Power of Kepepet" ? Well, ini bisa beneran terjadi loh ! Karena otak ditrigger oleh waktu, dan dipaksa untuk berfikir dalam memecahkan berbagai masalah. Kadang hasilnya baik, kadang hasilnya biasa-biasa saja, bisa pula menjadi buruk. Yaelah, namanya juga hidup, yang penting kan ada usahanya dulu ! Hehe, hasil mah belakangan :3

Skip

Disini, aku akan bercerita, sebenarnya bagaimana sih harusnya cara berfikir kita? Hmmmmmm, pertanyaan ini bisa memiliki jutaan jawaban yang tidak bisa diketahui jawaban tepatnya. Namun kalau kau tanya aku "Berfikirlah Luar Biasa!" atau lebih kerennya "ExtraOrdinary Thought".

"Raf, memangnya apa yang kau maksud ExtraOrdinary Thought ini?". Dek, abang akan jawab "Berfikirlah dengan cara berbeda ! Break the limits, Break the pattern ! Make your own path ! Get out from your comfort zone ! Jangan cuma cari Aman ! Doing something "Abnormal" with the Best way!" Sebenarnya masih banyak banget dek, cara berfikir luar biasa. Jika 95% orang berkata A, jangan ikut-ikut aja. Temukan jalanmu sendiri yang mungkin .... ketika kau analisis malah JAUH lebih baik dari si Jalan A. Tak harus terburu-buru, namun pasti dapat kau buru.

Cara berfikir ini, sering banget aku terapkan sewaktu kuliah. Percayalah, apa yang dikatakan dosen, jangan 100% percaya ! Jika ia bisa menurunkan sedemikian hingga rumus-rumus itu, jangan cuman dicatat, diterima bulat-bulat. Tapi ingat, 100% jangan dipercaya, bukan berarti kalian ga pada dengerin yah. Ikutin dulu flownya, catat, baca literatur terkait, terapin apa yang udah pernah kalian dapatkan. Nah, untuk seorang programmers, aduh .... Ketika kalian ngeliatin itu script-script yang mungkin ada 1000 baris. Jangan langsung diterima bulat-bulat. Kenapa? Well, itu style dia dalam memecahkan masalah. Let it be ! Dengan logika matematik yang telah kalian dapat, kalian tentunya bisa membuat algoritma pemecahan numerik yang kalian ngerti serta dipahami. Algoritma ini tentunya ga selalu sama dan tiap orang pasti punya caranya masing-masing. Case ini pernah aku dapat waktu kuliah Analisis Data, dimana logika pak dosen sangat sulit kuterima. Alhasil kubuat sendiri dan .... hasilnya sama ! Ini yang namanya "Banyak Jalan menuju Roma!" Ini yang aku maksud Luar Biasa ! Memecahkan setiap masalah, dengan cara yang -anti mainstream-, yang orang lain anggap "nggak normal", tapi bisa lo pake, bahkan dapat saving so much times.

Jangan Cuma Cari Aman

"Yang tengah cari aman ! Woy, kopral, diam aja terus kau ! Terus aja kawan kau yang bicara! Kau kemana? Woy ! Jangan cari aman!" ucap seorang danlap pada kopralnya.

Kalian harus tahu, bagaimana "Cari aman"nya rafi yang dulu. Beuh, rafi yang dulu tuh, cuman bisa ngomong sama orang yang dia kenal, gitu di tempat ramai, bisanya cari aman, diem aja cengengesan. Jika kalian termasuk orang-orang yang seperti ini. Please, hapuslah mindset itu ! Malu? Iya. Takut? Mungkin. Cari aman dengan hanya berdiam diri memang gabakal nyakitin kalian. Tapi, suatu saat kalian akan sadar "Aduh, kenapa kemarin ga coba kenalan yah? Sayang banget ! Mungkin dia bisa join project ini harusnya." Contoh.

Pilihannya gini guys, "Sekarang atau tidak sama sekali!" gitu. Jadi, selalu coba untuk memanfaatkan chance yang ada :)

Out of The Box

Diantara kalian pasti sudah sering dengar kata-kata "Think out of the box lah!". Iya, ini tuh penting banget. Kreatif, mencari jalan lain yang tidak biasa, jauh dari orang, teman, dan sainganmu pikirkan. Hal ini pernah aku dapatkan ketika mengikuti suatu Leadership Camp di Bogor. Kala itu kita diminta untuk memasuki sekian petak karpet lengkap dengan 15 orang didalamnya dengan rule "Kaki tidak boleh menyentuh tanah disekitarnya. Sebagai orang biasa, semua akan berfikir "WOy ! Ayo himpit2an ! Buat piramid, lo angkat dia, gue angkat dia. Cewe-cewe kelilingi kita nanti, dan .... harus kuat yah pegangan tangannya." Itu yang biasa

Nah, kalo yang ga biasa tuh .... "Teman-temannya, semuanya duduk, masukkan kaki kalian ke karpet, buat saja tumpukan kaki kita disana. Kan rulenya cuma kaki kita yang gaboleh nyentuh". DONE ! As simple as that. Semua 'masalah' punya solusinya. Kadang bersolusi tunggal, kadang bersolusi banyak. Yang pasti, tinggal berfikir sejenak untuk mencari Solusi mana yang paling gampang. The Choice is yours !

Ah .... Buat pembaca, rafi rekomendasikan agar senantiasa menggunakan akal-fikirannya sebelum mengambil keputusan. Berfikir, berfikir dan berfikir ! Dan jangan pernah lupa, bahwa kalian luar biasa, kita semua luar biasa, maka .... jadilah luar biasa pula ! Semangat !
