Greeting from Shanghai!

Saya akan mencoba mengasah kemampuan berbahasa Indonesia saya lagi. Haha..oke, bicara-bicara soal internet (bicara-bicara??), jaman sekarang ini memang sudah jaman teknologi maju yang segala sesuatunya menuntut adanya internet. Beberapa tahun lalu pun slogan "Internet Masuk Desa" gencar diserukan oleh Telkom... Nah, kali ini topik yang lagi hangat diserukan oleh Bali Laguna adalah Internet Masuk Bali Laguna.. meskipun pendapatan per malam bisa mencapai 4digit angka, tetapi layanan Wifi belom tersedia di Bali Laguna..

Sekitar awal bulan lalu, akhirnya layanan Wifi tersedia juga di Bali Laguna.. Saya diberi mandat oleh atasan saya untuk mengabari perancang model kami, Anne, untuk membuat sebuah poster bahwa layanan wifi sudah tersedia di Bali Laguna.. Dan hasil poster yang dibuat Anne memang membuat saya berdecak kagum.. Penuh dengan kreativitas.. Inilah hasilnya..

[togog pun melek internet]

Tidak tanggung-tanggung, dalam poster yang dibuat, komputernya pun memakai merk Apple.. haha.. Yang penting sekarang internet sudah masuk Bali Laguna lewat Wifi.. Jadi bagi para tamu yang ingin menikmati 'afternoon tea' sambil berinternet ria, silahkan saja.. Dengan adanya fasilitas Wifi, pekerjaan saya juga bakal lebih ringan karena sewaktu-waktu saya butuh koneksi internet, saya tinggal memakai Naga Bonar saya..

Oya, besok ini hari libur saya..dan saya akan mengunjungi sebuah tempat di Shanghai bernama Qipulu, pertokoan barang murah disana dengan kualitas yang...mungkin murah juga..haha.. mencoba menilik sisi lain kota Shanghai..

Oke, waktunya istirahat buat saya.. selamat malam sobat sekalian.. Tuhan memberkati..

expression
a spontaneous expression is always funny expression.. just like what we had last night when a guest brought their new i-pad.. this is the picture of I-pad i got from googling.

so, this is some of the expression of us who saw it right away..

me: woase! very nice..
rowell: that's ipad, isn't it?
dan: woase...maybe feijang feijang expensive a...

and this is the funniest one...[according to me]
mr.frank: woase! very big i-phone a...

me, rowell, and dan were all laughing.. yes, that's another expression..

anyway, this is the story of the day.
today i met with a guest, he spoke indonesian a little bit. then i was curious why he speaks indonesian and he said he was dutchman but some several times go to indonesia. i ask him where he is from in netherland and he said he was from amsterdam. then i asked him if he knew indrapura restaurant by the rembrandtplein -since it was my previous workplace- by all chance, he told me that he'd thought he'd seen me before and it's obvious that it was on indrapura restaurant. i served him before, i was serving him as well now.. both in indonesian restaurant.

the world is small, isn't it? but i'm glad that i remember him..moreover that he remembered me..

haha..okelah, time to go home.. pretty tired for this weekend..

god bless you all..

encouragement
Ni hao!

Have you ever heard of Des Sables? It's also known as MDS or Marathon Des Sables. Somehow, this marathon is the toughest footrace on earth. It covers 243km/151miles run over 6-7days on the dry Sahara dessert. The competitor itself also have to carry their own need in rucksack on their back, including food,medical aid, sleeping-bag, etc etc.. Water will be provided on every check point.

Well...the preparation itself, including physical training and mentally training too.. Since the heat of Sahara will absolutely lead to mental stress as you endure yourself. I couldn't imagine myself running in The Sahara for 7days! For the detail info, you can check it here

But one thing that I know, it needs a great amount of self-discipline, determination, and strong will to reach the finish line. I believe there will be many time for the runner when they feel like shit and thinking to throw the towel.

It's just like what I face now...as an analogy...to put me on those Sahara dessert where I feel like shit and thinking to give it up..until an encouragement come to me today.. posted by my beloved mom.. She wrote this to me..


When nobody respect about what you do..That's when you learn about sincerity
When your heart is hurt so deep..That's when you learn about forgiving
When you feel alone..That's when you learn about tenacity
When you feel so tired and disappointed..That's when you learn about earnestness


I think it's enough for me to keep running on my own Marathon Des Sables.. Thanks mom...for encouraging me...

estigma
saya sebal dengan orang yang selalu berkata 'Saya tidak peduli'
saya juga sebal dengan orang yang selalu berkata 'Itu bukan urusan saya'
tapi saya paling sebal dengan orang yang berkata 'Saya yakin kalian tidak akan dapat orang sepintar saya'

dan saya tidak butuh orang seperti anda di tim saya...

semoga anda merubah sikap anda ditempat kerja baru anda.. semoga anda bisa lebih peduli.. dan yang paling penting..semoga anda sadar bahwa masih lebih banyak orang yang lebih pintar daripada anda..

'Saya harap saya bisa mengatakan hal ini...sebagai atasan anda saya menghargai anda...dan sebagai teman anda saya harap anda bisa berubah'

fiuh..anda seperti bekas luka yang tidak bisa hilang saja...

a little bit nar, a little bit sis

yeaP! I had a new suit now.. haha..at least I bought with my own earn. Anyhow, this suit I bought was a tailor-made Jeremy told me and it was pretty much well done. Since I don't really go to tailor when I was in Indonesia, I sometimes deny its quality.. but this one was very good and cheap. My suit was only RMB400 includes the material and trousers as well..[around IDR 600k]. And this picture was taken on the last Jeremy's working day..

-mafioso?-

and after I made those suit, I just can't help my self to make another coat for me.. I've been hunting this kind of coat before, but always didn't have enough time to go and make one. The last time i went to the other tailor, they were all closed for the Chinese New Year.. So now I just make one for me.. Check it out dah..

[model kamar mandi]

well...i think this time..is just a bit of nar and sis for me.. hahaha..


ps.I get this title inspiration from Bali Laguna's Ipod..one of the song's title was a little bit dang-a little bit dut..=D

surat lamaran kerja
Pagi ini saya dapat email dari HHRMA-Bali, secara memang saya member di milis info bursa kerja Bali itu.. Biasanya email yang saya dapat ini email tentang info lowongan kerja, seputar hotel baru, agen keluar negeri, dsb dsb.. Nah email yang saya dapat ini email copas dari milis tetangga [konon kabarnya], berhubung menarik, jadi saya share juga lah disini.. ok, cekidot bok...

Ini tentang surat lamaran kerja yang...ehem...baca saja sendiri laah..

Berikut adalah beberapa contoh surat lamaran kerja yg sebaiknya tidak dipake apabila anda melamar kerja..

1. JANGAN TERLALU BANYAK MENGGUNAKAN SINGKATAN
:"Dgn Hrmt.
ttrk dgn ikl lwg krj yg dmt pd srt kbr edisi sls , sy brmskd mengisi lwg yg bpk bthkn , dri thn 1999 - 2004 , sy tlh bkj di aptk km farma , di bag cln srv. dri thn 2004-2005 , sy bkj di LC bank sbg kabag keu. dri thn 2005- smp skrg jd tkg pkr di BI"

2. JANGAN TERLALU BANYAK LAMPIRAN
:"Sebagai bahan pertimbangan bapak , bersama ini saya sertakan :
a. Fotokopi Surat nikah yang telah dilegalisir oleh Kantor Urusan Agama
b. Fotokopi KTP bapak saya yang masih berlaku
b. Pas foto saya waktu disunat di usia 9 tahun
c. Surat kelakuan baik seluruh keluarga saya
d. Bon hutang selama 1 tahun
e. Proposal permintaan sumbangan pembangunan mesjid di Rt saya yang telah ditandatangani oleh sekretaris lurah

3. BAHASANYA SOK GAUL
:"Eit dibaca juga nih surat lamaran ekee!!!! Halo Sob, secara ada lowongan di kantor u, mau dong ekee ngelamar di sama. Udah lama banget niy nganggur, aduh bok capee deeehhh!!!! Btw bro apa kabar nich.....? Baik baik aja dong , ya iya lah, masa ya iya dong . Bener kan, bener dong....? Iya kan kek kok dong deh...saya mo ngelamar kerja nich..boleh dong...please. ..boleh ya...? Serius boleh? Sumpe lo? Kalo gitu... TOSS!!!"

4. BAHASANYA SOK PREMAN
:"Hey Boss, asal lu tau aja ya, gue pernah kerja di kantor bokap, tapi lantaran gue sering berantem sama sering ngegodain sekertaris kantor, gue dikeluarin. Setan banget deehhh!!!! Makanya sekarang gue ngelamar kerja di kantor elo. Lo ga usah takut soal jabatan deh. Gue ga peduli sama jabatan! Yang penting gue bisa dapet kerja ringan tapi dibayar gede sama elo. Ok deh!! gue tunggu panggilan kerja dari elo di rumah gue, kalo sampe tiga hari belom juga ada panggilan, elo bakal tau sendiri akibatnya... .!!!!!!!"

5. BAHASANYA SOK AKRAB
:"Dengan hormat ,
Hai apa kabar nih...? Baik baik aja kan ...? Saya juga ketika menulis surat ini dalam keadaan sehat wal afiat. Semoga kamu juga baik baik aja seperti saya disini. Ngomong ngomong gimana kabar anak anak, sehat kan ..? Ga mau nambah lagi nih anaknya? Istri kamu pasti makin cantik aja.....salam aja ya buat mereka. Oya ..hampir lupa, saya bermaksud melamar pekerjaan pada perusahaan kamu bisa kan ...? Pasti bisa dong, kamu kan orangnya baik hati, ramah tamah, tidak sombong dan gemar menabung.

6. TERLALU RESMI DAN BERTELE TELE
:"Salam sejahtera,
Setelah saya membaca iklan lowongan pekerjaan di surat kabar ternama di ibukota yang oplagnya 3 juta exemplar per harinya , saya sangat tertarik sekali dengan iklan yang anda muat di halaman 16, kolom 6 seperti pada lampiran surat lamaran saya ini. Setelah berunding dengan berbagai pihak, baik itu keluarga dekat, keluarga jauh, tetangga dan unsur-unsur masyarakat lainnya, saya memutuskan atau berkehendak atau bermaksud untuk melamar pekerjaan tersebut. Yang mana dan juga sekalian daripada harapan saya, dengan surat lamaran ini kita bisa mempererat tali silaturahmi antara kita berdua. Bukankah dalam agama pun, baik itu quran ataupun hadits Nabi, telah diterangkan betapa pentingnya arti sebuah silaturahmi.

hi all! well, this week was apparently being a busy week for me...umm, i mean, the restaurant was so busy that I have been away from posting something.. anyway, this past week..i have encountered some crazy funny guests around the restaurant. Ja well..when you are in FB field, you must know what i mean.. ok, let's get some reminding..

Rowell (my bartender) suddenly came up to me laughing...he said the guest are joking with him...
G: Do you have moet en chandon?
R: Of course we have. We have rose and brut as well sir..
G: OK, i took one coconut juice..
R: HA?
-haha..this is a typical me guest, i have to admit, i did it some several times =D-

[this was just happening yesterday]
G: Xiansheng...Could you give me..eeee...cocktail menu?? We would like to order eeerrr.. jio ying liao... [alcoholic drinks]
O: Ow oke..i'll get it for you...
-after some minutes they discussed and finally waved at me-
G: Soo we want to have...eerrr... Vanilla milkshakes and banana milkshakes..
O: Ahaha, OK, mei guan shi [no problem]
-well, our restaurant cocktail list is together with the drink list-

Mr.Frank's matter, a sofa seat #13 which is only for 4 persons, the guest insisted to have it while they were 6persons...
F: FU*K! Okky, this is Chinese you know? so difficult to handle! SH*T! Me also!
O: ahahah...easy siR! I know..you are chinese..hahaha...

-Fresh from the oven, just happened today, The guest are having lunch inside the balcony-
G: Zhe li ge bu ge yi chou yan? -Can i smoke here?-
O: Bu hao ishe, zhe li bu ge yi -Im sorry, but you can't-
G: Oooo..wa mian ma? -ooo..how about outside?-
O: [smiling] Of course sir..

well well well... this is just some conversation in between.. maybe..that's why I like this FB field..If you think that guest are funny...yes they are!

what the fork
errr...saya baru saja dibentak oleh staff saya... ato dimaki ya? well..saya juga kurang mengerti.. Tapi begini kronologisnya.. Malam tadi restauran sangat sibuk. Otomatis tensi kerja juga meningkat. Disela mengambil makanan dari pantry, terjadilah sebuah dialog aneh...

O: FORK!!
L: OKKY!! WEI SHEN ME NI ALWAYS SAY FU*K???
O: OF COURSE, BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS FORGET THE FORK!
L: AIIIYAAAA..WHY FU*K AGAIN!!
O: I SAID FORK FORK FORK!! CHAZI!! KUAI ITIAN!!!
L: Oh..Im sorry... (while blushing)
O: Aiiyaaaa...what the *%(@(#I!!!

Lagi-lagi masalah komunikasi menjadi topik hangat belakangan ini... Susah juga kalau tidak sepaham dan sealiran dalam berbahasa.. Satu aliran saja masih banyak salah tafsir...apalagi beda gini ya.. Hahha..mungkin ini yang dinamakan crossed culture.. atau....budeg ya? ah...silahkeun berpendapat sendiri lah..^^

Mr.Frank
some interesting fact I've found about my restaurant manager, Mr.Frank.. He is really man..well, he doesn't look so brilliant at first..but the more time I spent to talk to him..the more interesting things I've figured it out.. Just like yesterday he told me the fact about news..

F: Ni zhi dao ma wei shen me ta men shuo NEWS? [do you know why they call it NEWS?]
O: umm..bu zhi dao.. Wei shen me? [I don't know...why?]
F: Ni zhi dao Dong Nan Shi Bei ma? [Do you know Dong Nan Shi Bei?]
O: Wo zhi dao ya.. [I know..]
F: NEWS he Dong Nan Shi Bei shi yang.. N shi North, E shi East, W shi West, S shi South.. Zhong dong nan shi bei..cheng wei yi qi shuo NEWS..dong le ma? [News and Dong Nan Shi Bei is the same. N is North, E is East, W is West, S is South...and it becomes 1 as NEWS...do you understand?]
O: Wow..you're right.. Hahaha..interesting!

another thing was..even he looks like an old fashion guy..He's music taste is good.. all in his nokia express music's music are western...mostly jazz and blues..His favorite is Me and Mrs.Jones... which when he sings it, it sounds like 'Me and Mrs.Jung' =D

anyway, he's been doing 14years in Food and Beverage and Hospitality industry..and he knows a lot... well...a good catch up to begin with is by working with such a guy like this...^^

ah..this night just won't stop snowing...I better go sleep now...Wan an!
