How Sweet of You

lucu juga kamu
meloncat-loncat
berteriak bahagia
seperti tidak kenal sedih

lucu juga kamu
bagaimana sebenarnya kamu begitu lembut
begitu penuh kasih
tapi semua begitu rapi tersimpan di dalam

kamu
dengan kerlingan cerdik matamu
tertawa
bernyanyi
menghidupkan dunia disekelilingmu
sangat lucu

terima kasih 🙂

those two words, i dedicate for you.
for the times that just passed by between us.

IECOM 2010 dan sebagainya

Selesai sudaaahh IECOM 2010.  Walopun dari awal gak banyak bantu, dan hanya saat hari H aja gwe bekerja sebagai LO, tp tetep aja gwe ngrasa seneng n bangga sama hasil kerja keras temen2 MTI (dan 2006 tentunya) yang fantastis ini!

Sekedar basa-basi, IECOM (Industrial Engineering Competition) adalah perlombaan keilmuan TI se-asean yg diselenggarakan oleh TI ITB.  Untuk tahun ini, sebanyak 118 peserta dari Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore n Philippines mengikuti tahap awal seleksi online dan hanya 14 peserta yang berhasil lolos ke country final.  Untuk lebih jelasnya, silakan cek iecom2010.com

Selama kurang lebih seminggu peserta dikarantina di hotel Sukajadi (3 stars ) untuk mengikuti serangkaian acara IECOM. Mulai dari gala dinner sebagai opening ceremony, seminar, first eliminary round, amazing race, Be a consultant!, sampai Cultural night.  5 tim yang lolos grand final harus mengikuti kunjungan industri ke Toyota di sunter dan mempresentasikan paper mereka sebagai syarat penilaian final untuk menentukan pemenang dari IECOM 2010.  5 tim yang lolos adalah :

Unpar’s “Seraphim”
UGM’s “Menang Yukk”
UI’s “Bravo”
ITB’s “Aseano”
Maranatha’s “Maranatha 1”

Here they are :

setelah mereka mempresentasikan paper mereka, yang keluar sebagai pemenang adalaaahhh :

2nd Runner up :

Bravo with their LOs

1st runner up :

Seraphim with their LOs

and, the winner is :

Aseano with their LOs and Qiyam as the Chief of IECOM 2010

Yaaayyy!! ITB Menaaaaang….ahahahha!!!

kalo dipikir-pikir, dari awal IECOM jalan, ko ITB menang terus ya???hueehheee….gak tau yaaa…gak tauu looohh!!

Ah ya, selama IECOM ini gwe cukup deket sama beberapa tim dari UGM, UNPAR, Ubaya, Atma Jaya. Semua karena mereka-mereka yang merasakan gedoran gwe tiap pagi untuk bangun dan melihat gwe sebagai cewek pertama yang mereka lihat saat bangun.  Atau harus mendengar suara indah gwe sebelum tidur ttg pengumuman2 dari panitia.   Pekerjaan LO itu romantis bukan???

Sayang gwe gak sempet foto sama Ubaya (salah satu pesertanya ada yang mirip Professor Lupin di Harry Potter loh!) n UAJY karena mereka gk bisa nerusin sampe grand final n setelah cultural night gwe gk bertugas sebagai LO mereka.  Tapi tim UGM cukup beruntung bisa merasakan keromantisan gwe sampe malam menjelang grand final :D. here they are :

UGM's Menang Yuk and me as their night shift LO

Reaallly nice to meet and know you, guys!! especially for dito who shared me one of his biggest secret in 2nd nite! huahahahahha!!

Ah, gk krasa banget seminggu ini gwe nemplok di Sukajadi Hotel.  Hotal bintang 3 yang jadi saksi bisu dari serangkaian kehidupan malam IECOM 2010.  Hotel pertama yang gwe inapin dimana gwe harus rela tidur layaknya ikan sarden, cuman untuk 2-3 jam tidur dan bangun subuh2 untuk bangunin peserta. Tapi semua berasa fuunn banget! para LO gak ada matinya dah! mulai dari tidur bareng, ketawa bareng, ngegosipin peserta bareng semuanya felt soo great!!

Gak lucu juga gwe berasa berat pisah sama sebuah hotel bintang 3.  Just like my Chief of LO, Farah, said on twitter :

I can’t believe leaving 3 stars hotel could be this emotional.I’ll miss this moment

WordPress in the middle of IECOM

yap yap yap..

here i come in the middle of duty on IECOM 2010 as a LO (Liaison Officer).  And this is me, stuck, inside the MM room, being LO of UGM Team names Menang Yukk….What am i really doing here actually??here i’m gonna share it with you

As an LO, i have to be as warm as I can, to accompany all the participants during the competition.  But, as one of the seniors amongst committee, Farah, our Chief of LO, assigns us to be the Room LO.  Because all the participants only come to their room at night after all activities are done, we can say that we are Night shift LO.  so, we welcome the tired participants with our best smile (just like what stewardess do on that airplane, hell, yeah!), provide them the better service (served everything what they need. One of participant ever asked me to buy some underwear! and, yeah, he’s a man. great!).  We have to make sure that they don’t sleepover, wake up early every morning so that they don’t get the penalty from the consequences  of their lateness, and of course, act as a liaison, share all the information from all committee during the competition to all participants.

As a room LO, i get room 117 under my responsibility at nights.  For the first eliminary round till the last round before the grand final, my room is consisted of 5 persons.  There are Yosef, Budhi, and ***(oh my god, i forget his name!) from team UAJY and Wahyu and Dito from UGM team.  Now, when we’re on Grand final room, room 117 is consisted of Dito, Wahyu, Ziaul and Nino from UGM team, as UAJY unfortunately couldn’t make into the grand final round.

Well, what exactly am i doing now??

i’m being their LO this evening, when all of them working on their paper for grand final.  from 3 pm to 9 pm, i have to stand by at MM room, and do anything LO have to do to the participants.  but, because the participants do their paper, n of course i can’t disturb them, haaaa…i’m in the hell named boredom, readers!! i just read my novel, do thingy2 in the internet, talk a lil’ with participants, and so on.

But, it’s still a lot better then i ever did on the days before.  I have to accompany 1 team, from 8 am to 1 pm, with really nothing to do beside being ready to provide anything participants need.  Because there’s nothing to be needed by my team (that was ASEANO from ITB), so, i don’t have anything to do. yap, for those 5 hours. nothing to do. fuh!!!

It doesn’t mean that i don’t like this job. i like it! somewhat i love it!!!i get a lot of new friends and i have a great team in Night Shift LO.  there are Tati, Widya, Dwi, Ina, Lalla, Ira, adis, zulfi, wina, and richard. “We’re a lot and we don’t want to be separated” is our motto and #LOceria is our tag on twitter.

sooo….let’s have some fun for about 2 days left of IECOM!!

Perenungan dari atas awan

Aku duduk di antara rangka-rangka besi
Rangka-rangka yang dapat melayang tinggi
Menari di antara awan

Hanya laju yang sama, itu yang kurasakan
Tapi tiap detiknya kulewati lembaran-lembaran awan
Bertumpuk
Melayang
Bermain petak umpet di tiap-tiap sudut
Di suatu perkarang berwarna biru jernih
Lembaran-lembaran itu sering mengantarku bermimpi
Bermimpi menggenggamnya
Bermimpi memainkannya
Lembaran demi lembaran

Hingga waktu yang jujur memberikan detaknya
Lembaran menyingkap
Menunjukkan bayangan memikat
Suatu keindahan yang daritadi mendesak untuk melesak

Hingga ia pun menyembul
Malu-malu,tapi memikat
Menantang dengan apa yang sebenarnya ia miliki

Dan ia muncul dengan cakar-cakarnya
Menancap langit,merobek lembaran awan
Perlahan namun tegas,begitu tegas
Kaki-kakinya menancap
Tidak ragu pada genangan raksasa yang mengancam
Justru ia lah yang merajah genangan itu
Penuh kharisma
Penuh wibawa
Penuh pesona hingga rangka-rangka kecil mengapung mendekat ke setiap lekukannya

Rangka besi ini terus melayang
Melewati cakar-cakar yang mengoyak dengan lembut
Kaki-kaki penu pesona merajah genangan raksasa
Ah,syukurlah kali ini aku tidak kalah oleh buaian mimpinya….

On duty during IECOM first eliminary round as a Liaison Officer

Technicolor – Paloma Faith

Once upon a time my friends it feels like yesterday
I was living lonesome in a world of disarray
Everything was black and white,there wasn’t even gray
And every morning waking up on Groundhog Day

It was all in monochrome,without the light,
Just like a silver screen you walked into my life

You taught the stars to light up what was dark
I found the light saturated in your charm
We kiss the sky and dance across rainbows
Now it’s all in technicolor with you

I lived in the blackest house with seven pure white cats
The bleak eyed look of every day hidden deep inside my hat
The notes on the piano now remind me of my past
And now you’re here right by my side,I hope that we will last

It was all in monochrome,without the light,
Just like a silver screen you walked into my life

You taught the stars to light up what was dark
I found the light saturated in your charm
We kiss the sky and dance across rainbows
Now it’s all in technicolor with you

Yellow,orange,pink,green and blue
Let’s paint the town,darling us two
You bring your pallet and I will sing the sub bar
We’re just two birds of a feather

You taught the stars to light up what was dark
I found the light saturated in your charm
We kiss the sky and dance across rainbows
Now it’s all in technicolor with you

You taught the stars to light up what was dark
I found the light saturated in your charm
We kiss the sky and dance across rainbows
Now it’s all in technicolor with you

Now it’s all in technicolor with you

Sweet, eh? How love can change your life.  From the monochrome one to be not only colorful but also technicolor one..;)
