Nepotism ain't a joke


Gaes, today I would post my second article ..... Sorry not sorry but now would be about  my perspective in political environment.

The  thing is, these kind of habits might already be rooted on us, and we didn't realize this at all.

--

Yey!

Recently I went to my family's house ..... Guess what? I was called Ahoker and Jokower tbh. But since it's told as a Joke ...... Let's take it as a joke ya.

Yups, like always, in every "family's conversation" there would always be that person who ..... quite "dominant", and what I mean is "ceplas-ceplos". This person would take any information directly, choose what they liked, and told everyone proudly about their perspectives. It's funny tho since what I was doing is ..... observing and follow the flow.

Yups, after taking several minutes, I conclude I am not the only Jokower in that surrounding. But the different between me and them are .... I support central government -which is refer to Jokowi as President- because his nicely done Jobs to provide any infrastructures for not only Java centric, but also in the eastest part of Indonesia. Despite our debt keep increasing, but I guess in the near future we would take the advantages of this investment, right?

The other part of Jokower, supporting Jokowi because ..... Jokowi's already being "besan" or law of Nasution ...... Simple. This kind of reason somehow unacceptable because its what you called Nepotism, right? I mean, besides seeing this person as relatives, why don't we see someone based on their capability, suitability, ideas, and other factors lah. One thing I supposed, what makes Medan or North Sumatera moved further and beyond are ..... These "toxic" habits!

As one of the most rich culture provinces, having 8 main tribe, and hundred of clans, these habits often leads to huge nepotism tho. Whenever 1 clan had more power, the organization structure would be full with this clan or .... any relatives clan. These habits ain't a joke and can't be tolerated in the future. Reminder, if one person being a "Big" and have more "Power", perhaps it's all because his/her dedication for one job, not because He/she was born as your clan. No, not at all.

Things I learned from Naruto, even if you're literally love and proud for your clan, in terms of urgency, Country most likely the most important ones, even though you should sacrifice your clan's existence. And it's cool af, right? Agreed !

Day 1 in Medan would be about HER


Merliana Jasri Sipayung

One of my besties so far, been being best friend with her for 8 years from now. We have this one group called Genk-Gong, whenever we have this "Geng" period during the time.

As I also knew, those "friendship" that has been through for more than 7 years, most likely would last forever. And looking forward to do that!

Our quality time begun with ..... creating our e-KTP together. Haha. Just like me, she hasn't recorded her biological identity for e-KTP at all. In fact, quite confusing since she's only 1km away from Camat office. Oh yeah, she even recorded this, just because her old KTP been lost. Period.

Yups, during this time, we used to create a quality conversation. Mostly about our current life, also about why she could lose her iphone, also what kind of activities she used to have so far. Well well, when I was junior high school, merli was one of top 3 students loh. I mean, she's extremely ambitious to change her family's life, economically. Go girl! Show your "Boru Panggoaran" power !!!! She's one of several person that shaped the best of me also. And makes me have different "way of thinking" compared with my siblings tbh. I changed, I am more grateful than ever before, since I was being friend with her. We're not only talking about "Strong" girl loh, but also talking this "full-empathize" girl to her surroundings. She used to have several personal mission for changing North Sumatera in the future, especially changing the way of thinking youth, for not being corrupt, colluse, and nepotism - which one of main North Sumatera's problem-.

Well, after recording our e-KTP. Guess what? My ID Card can be taken on MARCH 2018! THAT'S 3 MONTH FROM NOW LOH. Goddamn it government, the reason always about Blanko !

So basically I need another way kan .... which is having some kind of resi or "proof" that's currently my ID Card in the middle of process. You know what ..... I need to go to Pakam (about > 10 km from here) to get the fucking proof.

Or, get some help from the "birocrazy", pay them several tenth K, and keep my hands clean
.
.
.
Me, asked my parent about it, and it's something "OK" for him tho. And take the option since I have limited time :"( My integrity somehow had lost hiks

Then, Merli, with her intuition, didn't want to do it at all because her "Heart" feeling "it's not right". What a pure and lovely girl bgt ga si </3. Although, she's literally need this because she needs the old number from her Iphone ..... She keep her integrity, and get her hands dirty :") Just go girl !

Time passed.

I forgot my phone, but we keep going. We have a lunch in KFC. Get some chicken, and eat. She ordered "Choco Chick" which I literally don't recommend to you at all.

We continue our conversation about Economy, Management, Finance, etc (What the hell ga si), but this is something cool to share since her background in Economy is extremely ok, while me still learning Business Strategy and MBA from cheap online course in Udemy. It's legit as fuck.

And then .... We're also talking about our family, which talking about our little brothers that's hard to control, egois, ego-centric, no clear vision through their life, even didn't want to study unless been seeing or told cqcqcqcq

"Kok it's easier to be someone's mentored yah rather than our family. I mean, my mentee sometimes called me for 2 hours and talk about anything to get some life's hack or solution. But for our brothers? Cqcqcq can't say anything at all lah"

"OMG RT AF Mer. Literally feel the same lah, I used to be mentee for several of my junior, and could maintain their academic record even being one of most outstanding also in our faculty sih. But it's really hard to encourage our brother yaps"

Huft, conversation's quality keep increased, and it's 4 hours already loh ! Time and space should tear us apart, she should go to Pakam for getting her ID Card's resi, and me ..... need to achieve several things before returning to Jakarta.

D1 is rock! Can't wait to D2 -which is probably would be my me time exploring Medan- and D3 which is probably about little reunion to my friends from HOMPIMPA!

Hiks, unfortunately I didn't get any moment to be captured lah, since I forgot to bring my phone back then. But thanks to that, we could bring quality conversation to the table, right?

Ganbatte !

Cloudiness of Jakarta - Cloud in Perspective, Cloud at its best


Cloud
/Kloud/
1, a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.

2. a state or cause of gloom, suspicion, trouble, or worry.

Speaking to the devil, the second definition ain't got no right tho. Cloud simply a metamorphosis of water vapor, to liquid or icy. Bouyant tendency as a starter, but thanks to the characteristic of water itself, makes one moist adiabatic system, which created the 'Capitalist' system to get the support from its environment
.
.
.
Krik krik krik.

Oke, as a Meteorologist, we saw atmosphere in a unique way.

If you saw Clouds and feel the Wind, then you saw and feel those, right?. But not for my brain ..... Automatically, it leads me to ask "How much energy on that cloud? Where's the wind coming from? Where's the wind going to? If there's a wind, there's a pressure differences, right? Where is it going? There must be low pressure area! What happened there? What makes it? What trigerred that? Is it going to rain, soon?" And the list keep asked!

H Stands for High Pressure Area, L stands for Low Pressure Area
This kind of point of view has trained my thought to be more curious, asking "Why", and find the answered by myself. Just like this Article I wrote about : Analisis Mekanisme Hujan di Kota Bandung or Kupas Tuntas Alasan JLNT Tidak Boleh Dilewati Pengendara Bermotor or What Makes Bandung So Windy etc. Sorry for writing it in Bahasa tho, since what I want to do is touching readers as much as possible.

Oke focus. Perhaps it is me being overthinking, but sometimes, I will have this quite moment, to enjoy things I should grateful for. Even for seeing these kind of landscape, where you could see much of cloud formed, affect sunset and this "Hot, Humid" seasons. I captured several of them, post it to my Insta story, some can't be saved due to I forgot saving it. But these worth it also kok, and quite astounding.










Hope you enjoy it guys!!!!

Good night and have a good day :*

A Weak Heart (?) - Hopefully Not - A Misunderstood


Hallo guys!

Things been mixed up recently. Seeing so much youth, being C level, already being 30 Under 30 Forbes, etc. Been asking myself too about "Is it my best? Can I do something better? You may better than this". Yups, currently I'm kinda overthinking lots of things tbh. I start listing my goals again, and reading lots of articles about "C-level" daily routines. Basically what they're talking about is "Successful person" and stuff, not closed with C-level something person.

But it's ok, reading might give me some knowledge, and most likely, perspective. Facing the world would be easier with lots of perspective.

Things been oke, I already wrote my daily schedule, inspired with Benjamin Franklin's daily routines, that perhaps would be used this Sunday onward. After that, I read news (to update my personal interest -which is politics-), and seeing this interesting articles about Jakarta's new governor. Actually made me sad and angry, seems these persons were below my expectations lah. Far far away like Avenged's songs (krik krik krik)

Skipped.

While reading news, I found news about Jokowi, which is recently coming to North Sumatera for having his daughter's marriage. What makes me interested actually not about this marriage, but mostly about how perfect this family is. I mean, they're kind of simple family, that's just want to enjoy themselves, like the rest of us. The news were about how Jokowi enjoy eating Ucok's durian with his mother and grandson, also .... How he's enjoy medan's malls with his family and stuff. It might be simple, but seeing how happy this family is, somehow made me happy and also sad at the same time.

Happy because how modest my president can be, I even put myself in his mother's shoes, I mean she must be the proudest mom in the world, right? Having a successful son not only in business but also running a ****ing country that has quarter billion humans loh.

Eummmm, what about sad? Well, I am sad because ..... If only I still had my mother, I would do anything to make her proud and happy. Also, I am sad because ..... This kind of family trip, almost impossible happened at my family. Since everyone just mind their own business, formerly, my brothers was prefer playing with thy friends. I don't even remember when was the last time our family had dinner together. It's so sad right? We don't really have that tight bond as family tbh :")

Shit. What a weak heart I have.

Oke, in the news, Jokowi was recording for his vlog. Since his vlogs are interesting enough for me. I directly checked her facebook's fanpages loh (se-intent itu). And then, I saw this:


Yups, this video literally moved me on so many level. I mean, I was told since child, "Don't be a Farmer" and stuff. But this ! This prove me wrong! Farmer is definitely a cool job, and thanks to government can make them lives better ! I agree with the content, farmer is a real hero, for providing food to our plates. #SwasembadaPangan is aint dream. Thanks pak.

Believe it or not, I almost cried by the video. And this is the reason why I wrote topics about this. Am I having a weak heart? Or just having more empathy? I hope it is the second one tbh :") Since empathy is a part of feeling, to understand more about humanity, and of course, humanize humans! This has been proved to make human open minded, and lives happier. Huhuhuhu

Baiklah, I guess this is the end, and hopefully you can learn something from this light topics.

Good nicht, guys!


Oke, this is too much, haha

The least I learned from Shokugeki no Souma

Gaes,

Tonight I would share things I have learned from Shokugeki no souma.

Well, if you guys loved Anime/ Manga, this one should be on your bucket list of course! To be honest, I was watching the movie first than the manga. And then, since I am not that patient waiting for this, I decided for reading the manga 100 Chapters on 3 days. Haha

As you've probably know. Souma is one of that "Ecchi" manga, which is quite vulgar at the first glance. You may see "foodgasm" which is literally orgasm because eating "delicious" food. Even if it's the disgusting one, yups, they'll have that gasm though.

Despite its "Harem" theme, the plot is extremely enjoyable. Why? Every chapter would lead you to read it more and more. To be honest, lots of thing you could learn through this, such as:

1. Leadership & Strategy

Some are natural leaders, some are trained their leadership skill through their professional experiences. Yups, in this movie, you'll learn Leadership especially Strategy.

FYI, Tootsuki (the school name of this series), have extremely tight values. From thousands of students, only top 1% would be graduated as alumni. Which means, the rest 99% would be expelled through the years.

Despite these extreme values, they have "Shokugeki" event, which is leading to "Food wars" between several Chef. Within their extreme skills, each other should have strategies for cooking their own foods. Even they would rehearse for several days to trials and errors.

During day by day, they even compete and implement all of strategies they have learnt during school. For example, If you watch the anime, on episode 16 and 17, Souma, who's living on Business District to open "Yukihira's Dinner". Feeling something wrong with his surrounding. He saw how quiet his district had been, because of the infrastructure changing. Compounded by his local competitor, Mozuya Kaarage, that's been literally dominated their culinary demand for the locals.

Yups, he wanted to change something. But ..... what he'll do first is analyzing the condition, feeling & trying Karaage Mozuya directly (I called it Customer Experience survey), and analyzed what they could do to compete them.

Souma's reaction to Mozuya Kaarage (Yups, delicious af 😮)
Some might think "How to create better Kaarage" and stuff ..... At first they tried sih, but they can't manage compete that, since their competitor has been researched best recipe year by year. Yups, experienced wins!

And then, they tried to research more, starting with the best ingredient but cheap af, thinking about packaging (for better CE), and last but not least, thinking "How could the customer remember their products". Simple but creative sih in Business environment. Till they concerned about how to improved their products further and beyond!

In the end, they found the answer and ..... Started to do the marketing! Yups, everything should be executed as soon as possible, or they lose the MOMENTUM! And voila, thanks to souma, Business district became crowded anymore, and once again, this proof one thing, monopolized company didn't always win in competitive market IF they didn't focus on their business value, also .... less innovative than the others.

Souma wins! It's not impossible to build your market with GOOD strategies

2. Profit is not always your primary Goal

What I used to read on linkedin about Gojek, they have this shared vision to the employees, more or less it said like this, "Everything you contributed to the company, are always for thousands of drivers". To be honest I inspired them so much, since what they're doing is extremely impactful to the societies. Me myself and I even can't move on from Gojek loh everyday.

Oke next.

What souma did, moreover is same lah. He used to serve hundreds of plates every single day, for 12 years. He always told "Customer first" than how much money they had everyday. And it works! Everyday, everyone would come to their diner, having some food, and yes, being a Loyal Customers. Revenue would be generated like machine lah if you have got these loyalists. This, could assure you one thing, they would come regardless any discount or not at all.

Despite learning from souma, the next character would be Tadokoro Megumi, which is one of good protagonist in the series. And no one could fight her "Customer" awareness except herself. And it helped her to attain "Top" chair, without being backstabbing bitch like other used to. Haha.

Empathy. Empathy. Empathy. Learn empathy at its finest here.





The list could go on .... But I rather continue this in the next article I guess. Hope you learn something too ya :)))

How is it feel to be Feminist? - A 'Love' Story (?)



Yups, things getting cliche day by day.

Sometimes you'll feel lonely, need a partner, even asking what your truly life goals are. Perhaps it's the beginning for my quarter life crisis, right? Or ..... is it too soon? I don't know the answer yet.

I have never been in any serious relationship before. If you asked me. Well, perhaps I closed with lots of women. Some being my besties, some just being my friends, some have been my crush, but never end up well. Since I am never telling her anything at all about my feeling, till her getting new partner and gone gone far away. 

In my society, normally, men should tell his feeling first, men should A, men should B, while women ..... perhaps just wait and see.

These, always never work for me.

To be honest, I thought these kind of "rules" are just created, not absolutely right. I mean, why bother men should A, while women should C, what's about we, as a human, could do what the fuck we want?

Yups, that's absolutely me.

Perhaps this is me being coward, or .... me being feminist? Do not know, but I do feminist, and thought everyone's equal no matter what gender they have. As long as someone didn't take my right and bother me/ someone's else ..... Practically it's none of my business :)

Me, never surpass that phase, to tell what I feel, in terms of this fucking thing, called love. Perhaps I would get this courage one day .... or someone would tell me their feeling, who knows? The result would always be the same, I would give it a try. Huhuhuhu.

Good Night, Champs!

Listening & Observing





Hallo guys,

Tonight I would write about these two things: Listening & Observing.

Listening & Observing might be the greatest tool for learning something thoroughly, it could literally make you understand how something works, how exactly something presented, how exactly something discussed with colleagues. Yups, yesterday, I learned the most precious skills for Fresh Graduates. Effective communication, and process to give information from the technical perspective to the business person -that's probably not give any f with the technical - and concerned with results instead. I even learned about how cool the discussion process in Management level perspective, which I believe, the opportunity that can't be bought except you present at the moment.

The point is, I just observed and listened the sharing session about what our team's done for Fashion & Beauty customer segmentation. Fortunately, the customer segmentation were processed by Advance Analytics team -thanks to mas Imam-, and I was taking part in the descriptive data part, since I am in Data Analytics team.

Yups, all of the data has been prepared for 5 days. And ppt has been created by three of us. And here comes the sharing sessions, when my GM presented it to the sales team. Yups, once again I just observed and listened, and of course prepared if someone asked further. Slide by slide, I saw my GM presented it so cool, like lecturer that have 1000 hours fly hours wkwk. Since this is for the business person, all of matter should be presented as clear as possible, and he should prevent any technical terms that perhaps would make these people confused. I enjoyed this process so much, which I've learned this presentation skills from the best one.

And then ..... in the middle of presentation, I kept observing these three GMs from MD3 (Fashion & Beauty sales department), along with Merchandising GM discussed about future strategy of elevenia. I admired how cool they are, they look so flawless and smart af, I mean what they are talking about purely combining between theory and years of experiences in ecommerce business. Enjoyed how effective their discussion are.

Last but not least, everyone's motivated. I know this segmentation would come up with more load of work. Not only for us, but also for sales, design, and even the platform ones. Yups, the goals is to segmenting the customers, and approach them differently based on their behaviors and what product they liked, right? But the perks of having this is ..... the company could generate more revenue even faster, and of course, could cut up lots of cost, also, since the customer love the campaign, and it hits to the target perfectly and stuff, perhaps they buy it anyway, right? And .... at last the insight we generated, because of this collaboration end-to-end in data management, the data could be provided and give lots of insightful recommendation in the future. And once again, this leads me happy since you feel appreciated by giving this impact. Yuhuuuu
