Ruangan itu tidak terlalu luas, hanya sekitar 3×3 meter. Didalamnya terdapat sebuah meja panjang, AC, 2 buah kursi yang ditata saling berhadapan, seorang lelaki berumur 25 tahun-an, dan saya. Hari ini hari yang penting, hari yang berbeda dari yang lain. Dan karena alasan itulah saya berada selama hampir 1 jam dalam ruangan tersebut. Sebuah test …
…thousand years
just want to share … I think this video is pretty good, although kind of funny really, but maybe could be a reflection for us 
Kita tak pernah tahu
aku tak tahu,
engkaupun tidak!
berapa masa yang ada
dan berapa waktu yang tersisa
siapa yang tahu?
di pagi hari meloncat dan menari
di malam hari menjadi kawan bumi.
sekali lagi, siapa yang tahu?
aku tak tahu,
engkaupun tidak!

saat Allah memberikan nikmat dalam bentuk yang lain
———————————————————————————————————————————-
Ya Allah Rabb kami yang Maha Pengasih dan Maha Penyayang, berikan kami kehidupan dunia yang indah dan kehidupan akhirat yang baik pula, serta selamatkanlah kami dari api neraka.(Ismail Haniyah, Perdana Menteri Otoritas Palestina)
Akhir pekan ini sangat berbeda dengan akhir pekan yang lain, bukan hanya karena waktunya yang cukup panjang (Kamis sampai Ahad), tapi juga karena semua yang telah saya rencanakan untuk mengisi weekend kali ini terancam gagal. Dua pekan yang lalu, saya menghabiskan akhir pekan bersama dengan kelompok wanita di Desa Karangsari, Banyumas, untuk mendampingi mereka dalam pembuatan sirup & selai markisa. Pekan lalu tidak kalah menarik, saya menghabiskan sabtu-ahad bersama dengan adik-adik yang luar biasa dari SMAIT Ihsanul Fikri, Magelang. Menyiapkan dan membantu mereka dalam menjalani dauroh/pelatihan mengenal kampus. Pekan ini? Terasa sangat berbeda. Read More
I grabbed this picture about one year ago in one of photographic websites (but pardon me, I forget the address). This is one of the kind photographic art named Human Interest. Don’t ask me what the meaning is, I don’t know photographic at all. The only one I care about this picture is two veiled woman take a seat with the police. Also, the photographer of this pictures titled it “Take A Seat With The Police”
I realized that my life has a special part with the police. Wait..don’t think about special relationship! I want to tell you that I had some bad experience with this public servants. You know, in Indonesia police often conduct raids in a highway. It aims to check the completeness of driving, both technical and administrative. Technical completeness of the drive are helmet, rear view, light sign, etc. and administrative are vehicle registration, and also DRIVING LICENSE. Read More
Sebenarnya tidak ada indikator baku untuk mengatakan kapan seorang mahasiswa dikatakan berada di tingkat akhir. Apakah kata ‘akhir’ disini bermakna akhir masa studi rata-rata di kampus, atau ‘akhir’ dari apa yang ia terjemahkan sendiri. Jika mengartikan sendiri, bisa saja kan mendefinisikan masa studinya 7 tahun, maka semester 8 belumlah disebut tingkat akhir olehnya. Maka saya memilih untuk bermahdzab dua-duanya, karena apa yang saya artikan hampir sama dengan apa yang diartikan oleh kampus. Jika demikian, saya seorang gadis berumur 20 tahun yang sekarang duduk di semester 6 bisa disebut sebagai ‘mahasiswa tingkat akhir’ versi saya tersebut.
Rupa-rupanya kawan-kawan sekelas seangkatan seguru seilmu saya banyak mendefinisikan ‘tingkat akhir’ seperti yang saya definisikan itu. Barulah saya tahu beragam kegalauan dan peristiwa muncul pada orang yang menyandang predikat ini.
Apa saja peristiwa yang muncul? Simak reportase berikut ini

Yummy Japanese Food
My new episode (again) about Japan. Better for you to know about the place you want to visit. That’s my first time going aboard, and the lucking country is Japan 
A little nervous and anxious.. Look, I went alone. Perfectly alone from the airport on my home country, getting transit for a long time, nobody picked me up in Narita Airport (Japan), and went to the other prefecture on the first day to get the hotel 
PERFECT! Read More
May 05, 2012. I spent my weekend to visit our (I’m not use ‘my’ because it is a group work) project in Banyumas, a small township in Central Java, Indonesia. It is like community development project that we have created since 3 months ago, with financial aid from the higher education of national government (DIKTI). An awesome work, an awesome team. All of us are girl! The team: me, Isna (Geodesy Eng.), Anggi (Urban Planning), Atik (Physics Eng.), and Tia (Geodesy Eng.); and also the participants: the woman group in that village.
The village is Karangsari, placed in the north of Banyumas. It is a small village, about 10 km from the central of the township. If you want go there, you have to access difficult field, defective track, and there is no public transportation so you have to take your motorcycle by yourself. People there speak javanese with different dialect with usual javanese pronounce. People called it banyumasan.
The concern of our program is to empower and enlighten women on that village. Why? Almost all of the women there work as a seasonal labour: work when agriculture have good harvest, moreover jobless. They spent their day with idle, gossip, and uneffective things. In the other hands, that place have a lot of marquisa that untapped. So, our program is to accompanying them to process the marquisa become a valuable things: syrup, jam, juice, etc. Then they can sell it and get money. No more useless things, and no more jobless!
For me, a nuclear engineering student (with a lot of homework, project, and exam), being with the villagers woman is a good thing. Have a chat with them, playing with their children, and become a chef of marquisa is a good thing. I like it. It is deep breath..
Actually, this is competition from DIKTI, named PKM (Program Kreatifitas Mahasiswa. But for me competition is not big deal! I like this work and I like if I can help the others, that’s kind of my satisfaction.

So, “Hi” again guys.. After #episode3 and some interruption writing, I want to continue my Japan’s series. Yup, it is about historical and current state of energy policy and strategy in that country. This is the fact and also my (very) personal opinion.
The unique fact about Japan is that Japan has a management day by day, a bicycle operation country. They imports from aboard in very large number of their basic needs: 96% energy, 100 % resources ca., and 60% foods (in calorie base). One of the lecturer in my Short Term Study Aboard Program, Professor DR. Hirohisha Uchida, said that Japan have to produce goods and service with values, and export them to abroad. With that income, they import further energy, resources, and foods. He even said that Japan has only human resources! So Japan fostering their young generation through education and training, to create new and valuable technologies, goods, service, and society. You know, in my country, Indonesia, there are so many Japan’s technology product like Honda, Toshiba, Panasonic, Suzuki, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, etc. Not only in Indonesia of course, the big corporate like Mitsubishi and Hitachi also sell a NPP technology, as a vendor with Westinghouse (US) and Areva (France) for example. A vendor of NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) means sell a product in order hundred (even thousand) billion US dollars. Again, I say Woooooooooow!!! Read More
Memenuhi janji saya di postingan sebelumnya untuk menuliskan (ralat: lebih tepatnya memposting) uraian mengenai kasus kecelakaan Fukushima Daiichi. So ancient sebenernya, itu sudah terjadi 1 tahun yang lalu. Ini adalah tulisan hasil diskusi di Jurusan Teknik Fisika UGM oleh para professor dan ahli di bidang nuklir, dengan beberapa perubahan dari saya (untuk memudahkan pembaca) tanpa mengurangi esensi makna. Saya rekomendasikan anda untuk membacanya, karena uraiannya sangat mudah dipahami. Saya pikir orang yang tidak tahu menahu soal nuklir pun akan paham dengan penyampaian tersebut. Semoga menjadi salah satu media pelurus dalam menghadapi gossip yang selalu beredar. Read More
