KNOWLEDGE

K N O W L E D G E




You can get of it from anywhere, and anybody, and anytime.



I just remember a moment in my life, that I can learn from it until now. When I have an interview with US Embassy. At that time I apply for a job at US Embassy Jakarta, then they called me for some test and interview. There are some candidates including me. Sit in the chair, waiting for our turn. Some girls looks so tidy, including me. I using my best clothes paired with blazer and short skirt. But believe me, it’s not too short.



We are waiting around 30 minutes in recepetion area. Then it’s my turn. I have typing test. That need less than 15 minutes to do. I think I will failed the test, because it’s not only typing test, but also translate test, from Bahasa into English, and from English into Bahasa. It some kind of formal letter from Government and public policies. I have no idea about some word. They talking about ministry, relatives government, legal and laws. There are many words that I couldnt catch it sir. But I try my best, I finish the test.



And waiting for result, to go to the next step of test. From 5 participant before, now only three participant left. Including me. I don’t know where the others. After waiting for 15 minutes for the result, they calling my name to go inside and do another test with someone that I don’t have any idea who they are. I should pass this test, to have an interview with the chairman of US embassy. This is a verbal test, He will read and I should translate it. Everytime he speak, I should translate that word. OMG, I reall want to ended this test soon.



At that time, I thought I will failed. But they asked me to stay, they will discuss about the result, and decide. Around thirty minutes, they calling my name. I thought they will calling me to tell me that I can go home, and waiting for the result. Ussually, when people ask you to do that, it means you failed. They will not give anything to you. Fortunately, they didn’t do that. They ask me to go inside and have an interview with chairman of US Embassy.



I’m nervous. I don’t know how to face him. But when I face him, He was a good man, very kind. Old man, with his white hair, and some fat in his body. But he looks nice, and warm. He indulge his hand to me. Shook my hand firmly. Then he start the conversation. I believe he know that I’m so nervous at that time.



In the middle of our conversation, he ask me about that, he ask me why I look so nervous. Then I told him, that I really nervous, because that is the first time I spoke to American people in formal situation. I know that my English was not good enough. I told him that in my previous company is china company, so I believe their english not good as american people do. Because we still learn, because we have our basic language, Indonesia using Bahasa, China using their own language. I have more confident to face Asian people then American people. And He told me wisely that I don’t have to be scared. Because in this world consists of many languages. American have their own language, English have their own language that we called British, Europe have their own language. He told me that he couldn’t speak in Bahasa or British, the only one language that he can speak is American language, because he came from there, and growth up in there. So I don’t need to be scared with language. He also told me that my english is quitely good, because I can pass that two test before, the only thing that i don’t have is CONFIDENCE. And the words that I always remember from him. “The most important thing in a language is how the message can be received well by the recipient. As long we have this conversation, I can understand what you talking about, and you also understand what I’m talking about. Am I Right?”.



Then I smile, give the best smile to him as a sign that everything that he said was right. He give me more confident to face the world. I believe he is a good man. Even I didn’t pass the test, because after the last interview, I never received any good or bad news from them. The positive thing from that interview, I brought the valuable thing into my life. I called it as knowledge. I got more knowledge from that interview. Is all about language. Finally, I understand, that language is not about right or not, language is about understand or not. Language is a media to communicate each other, language is to connected one nation to others.



That’s why I using my english to write this blog. I hope i can communicate with other people out there, and keep practice my English. :) Never scared to learn, never scared to fail, never scared to dream.



the most important thing is willing to learn.

Me and My Messy Life

11.00 pm: knock knock knock.. I open the door.. And I saw my friend out there, I've pleased her to come in, then we talk till drop..

01.30 am: she back to her room

02.00 am: Now I couldn't sleep at all.. Padahal besok pagi rencananya mau sahur, nyeterika, nyalon dsb dsb.. (ˇ_ˇ'!l)

Lagi Lagi.. Kayaknya belum saatnya untuk bayar puasa.. Ada aja halangan nya.. Besok juga bisa" ga smpt nyalon.. Oh rambut,apa kabarmu esok hari.

Sepertinya memang harus terjadi perubahan rencana untuk esok hari: bangun siang, lansung berangkat ke kantor dengan rambut dan baju seadanya, sarapan, kerja sebentar, makan siang, kerja lagi, baru ketemu para pembesar dengan rambut awut"an..

Ya inilah saya, seorang yang expert dalam prencanaan, tapi sangat buruk dalam pelaksanaan... (ˇ_ˇ'!l)

oh lenny lenny lenny, you never learn from ur fault, but u make it to be default.

Kadang ada satu rasa yang datang tapi tak diharapkan, kadang ada juga satu rasa yang diharapkan datang tapi dia tak ada. Kemampuan manusia untuk bisa mengontrol dirinya sendiri terhadap perasaan yang dimilik. Kemampuan manusia untuk dapat berkata tidak terhadap dirinya sendiri, dan kemampuan manusia untuk dapat berkata lakukan terhadap dirinya sendiri.

Selfcontrol emotion, itu mungkin bagian yang tersulit dalam rute kehidupan.

Manusia belajar dari berbagai kejadian yang menimpa dirinya, manusia belajar dari manusia lain di sekitarnya, beradaptasi, mencoba untuk membuat nyaman diri berada dalam suatu komunitas.

kejadian demi kejadian merupakan warna tersendiri dalam kehidupan, masalah demi masalah datang silih berganti, setiap manusia sejatinya selalu berhadapan dengan masalah, mungkin masalah yang sama, tapi masing-masing mereka memiliki penyelesaian masing-masing.

Ada yang mengambil langkah untuk mengabaikan masalah, dan menjalani kehidupan, menikmati setiap detik kehidupan. ada juga yang terfokus pada satu masalah hingga mengabaikan masalah yang lain. ada juga yang mencoba memecahkan semua masalah tapi lupa kehidupan di dunia ini hanya sementara, sedangkan masalah pasti akan selalu datang.

Pertanyaan yang kemudian timbul adalah:

"Haruskah masalah itu diselesaikan...????"

Haruskah kita yang menyelesaikan masalah itu...????

Apakah Tuhan sudah mempersiapkan jawaban dari setiap masalah-masalah kita...????

Apa yang aku rasakan dari semua masalah ku sekarang, yang menurut ku adalah masalah dari segala sumber masalah dalam kehidupan ku: aku tidak bisa mengontrol diri ku sendiri. Itu yang membuat ku selalu berkutat dengan masalah dan masalah tanpa bisa keluar.

Pertanyaan selanjutnya, bisakah aku keluar dari masalah ini.. atau akan kah masalah-masalah ini akan selalu menumpuk....

Karena jika aku tidak melepaskan masalah ini, aku hanya manusia yang berada di dalam tumpukan masalah tanpa bisa menikmati kehidupan.

Point utama ku saat ini adalah fokus untuk bisa membebaskan diri ku sendiri, untuk tetap bisa fokus menikmati kehidupan.

Aku harus sering melihat keluar, karena diluar sana begitu banyak orang yang memiliki masalah yang lebih berat dari aku.

I Love my Desk

I Love my Desk.

Spending 8 hours of my life in there. Not too clean but not tidy too. Or I can said it a little bit messy. I put my bottle near there, when I want to drink I just raise it up. I also bring that small mirror, from one office to another.

As Indonesian people, Minyak Kayu Putih is always ready at my desk. To be prepared. Also Glade air refreshner, to make my desk feel comfort and smells good. White & Clean wall, bring a lot of peace in my head.

I'm in love with my working desk.

I am trying to be better

I am trying to be better
I am eager to learn

I will learn anything from this wonderful world, from this wonderful life.

Somtimes it just could happen once in our lives. Then you will not able to returning back your wonderful lives. Then, why you not use your wonderful life to learn manythings.

I found many things happen in my life. I learn from that, I learn from every pain and every gain. Every tears and smiles.

Allah SWT calling me via muadzin, I should met Him. I should make a report for what I've done today.

Have a good day ahead. Cheers.

Wassalam,

Lenny.

Not for clean up the room, washing dirty plate, stay in the chair to kept my good image in front of someone I thought it's not too important to show how good I am. Oh world, did you think I complaining my life?? No, I just want to tell what I feel right now, I just want to share, and show how Indonesian culture works. As a grown up ladies, you should show them that you can do anything your homework, even they know you should work from mon-fri. Did you asking who are 'them'???
They are some people who had contribution to next step of your life to approve you as a candidate of your partner in life.
