Hi 2017

While some people believe that their age in a quarter of a century is a stage to show that they had reached their dream, got high position in their company (and also the salary is high too), have a marriage, or other amazing achievements, 2016 has given me a special meaning too, even though it’s rather different (from other people) because it has given me special life lesson. I have learned about myself further. I have learned that being your self is not as easy as to invert your hand. 2016 has been a struggle year for me. 2016 has learned me to embrace all of the up and down of my life, all the bitter also the sweet things in my life. This year has made me braver and stronger, and also I almost forget how grateful I am.

“I know it sounds very cheesy and cliche, but honestly, it took me twenty five damn years to finally understand myself; to completely love and accept everything in my life; to unashamedly show you who I really am. And I don't think there is anything else that more matter than becoming braver and more true to myself.” (Ozu, 2016).

This morning I had psychiatric test in one hospital in my town (for my next job). When I entered to one of its building, I saw so many people suffer. They couldn’t do their daily activities freely and easily as they want due to their illness. I saw an old woman accompany her sister to did annual check up with the doctor. Her sister talk so many things to say her complain to the doctor. Her sister always blamed the doctor. She complained why the doctor gave her higher dose of the drugs so she could not pee normally. Her sister also complained why she had to took long time to met the doctor (in other words she did not want make a queue). Because her sister talk loudly during my test, I was curious. When I finished my test, I heard that the doctor told her that it was not true that she gave her higher dose and told her to be patient because she gave her special queue so many times. Oh I see, her sister is regular patient. But, her sister still talked loudly and complained a lot to the doctor. Suddenly I heard that the old woman cried. She talked to the doctor that her sister did the same thing (in the hospital) again and again in their home. She seems to be desperate what should they do to make her sister’s condition get better. I can’t explain the detail, but I can say that it was kind of touching circumstance.



Then, I think, Allah give me a lesson in the last day of 2016. All I need is to say how grateful I am. So many people still struggle with their illness, while I still upset to something that it was not as big as their problem. I have to keep going and going, no matter how slowly I am. This year will pass so soon, so I think, it is okay if this year I HAVE BEEN A SLOW WALKER, BUT I NEVER WALK BACK. And also thanks to Up & Up song (by Coldplay) for being the soundtrack of my life during this November-December.

Hi, 2017!!!

Perjalanan PCPM BI 2016 (PCPM 32)

September 2016 Beberapa grup mulai bertebaran informasi adanya rekrutmen BI ini. Entah kenapa saat hari pertama dibukanya lowongan PCPM ini saya langsung daftar, padahal biasanya saya daftar pada hari kesekian. Begitu daftar waah saya dapat nomor registrasi udah ratusan aja. Wajar aja sih, BI masih menjadi idola, tak heran yang registrasi hingga 86rb sekian (info dari pihak PPM saat seleksi potensi dasar. Berikut timeline yang saya capture dari website PPM. Alhamdulillah lolos dari seleksi administrasi. Saya mendapat jadwal untuk mengikuti seleksi potensi dasar pada hari Sabtu tanggal 24 September 2016, shift 2 (pukul 11.00). Tanggal tersebut bertepatan dengan jadwal wisuda. Saya telepon pihak PPM untuk reschedule  pada hari berikutnya yaitu Minggu.

Waktu itu saya udah pasrah banget, kalau dikasih izin ikut tes hari berikutnya ya Alhamdulillah ...

PERPANJANGAN SIM DI SIM CORNER SUNCITY SIDOARJO

SIM CORNER SUNCITY MALL SIDOARJO Sebenarnya SIM C saya jatuh tempo November, tetapi Oktober 2016 lalu saya mengurus perpanjangan SIM. Alasannya karena suatu hari yang terik di Surabaya, di daerah Klampis (benar gak sih), dekat daerah Unitomo, Perbanas, dll ada operasi pemeriksaan SIM dan STNK. Alhamdulillah STNK dan SIM selalu saya bawa. Pak Polisi yang memeriksa saya saat itu mengingatkan saya untuk segera memperpanjang SIM C saya yang akan segera expired , karena lewat sehari saja tidak boleh, harus mengurus seperti baru. Pengalaman Mengantar Ibu (Februari 2015) Datang siang jam 10, SIM CORNER Suncity Mall Sidoarjo sudah tidak menerima kami yang baru datang, karena sudah ada jatahnya hari itu berapa SIM yang dicetak. Kami disarankan langsung mengurus di Polres Sidoarjo. Nah, ngurus di Polres ini nih yang bikin kelenger. Saran: Makan yang cukup sebelum ngurus di Polres Sidoarjo dan stok kesabaran harus ekstra. Dari sinilah saya berjanji saat ngurus perpanjangan SIM saya ...

Holland : The Rich that Embrace the Poor

Hampir genap tiga tahun saya kuliah di jurusan ekonomi Syariah Universitas Airlangga. Fenomena-fenomena permasalahan masyarakat datang silih berganti dimana seorang mahasiswa sebagai agent of change dituntut untuk mampu memberikan solusi. Pada saat ini realita dinegara maju dan berkembang adalah terjadinya ketidakadilan dan ketimpangan dalam pendistribusian pendapatan dan kekayaan sehingga menciptakan kemiskinan. Menanggapi kenyataan tersebut Islam sebenarnya sudah memiliki solusi dalam pendistribusian kekayaan. Salah satu prinsip ekonomi syariah yaitu tidak boleh ada harta yang menganggur atau terhenti disalah satu pihak, karena akan membuat harta mengendap tidak bisa mengalir ke pihak yang membutuhkan. Dengan kata lain harta kekayaan harus terdistribusi merata alias tidak terjadi penimbunan karena penimbunan akan mengganggu stabilitas perekonomian. Pernah terjadi dijaman Rasulullah ada tanah yang menganggur. Saat itu ada seseorang yang menemukan tanah menganggur tersebut. Ia...
