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?

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

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 !
