A Dream Comes True


How’s your week guys? Did you all carry out your activities well? This time I try keeping my promise to post the story at least twice in a month. I promise it will probably keep it just because I have a writing teacher that always encourage me to always practice my writing skills and try to be better in every post. Actually I was more interested in reading than writing. Thanks a bunch for Miss Tri and Miss Fika anyway. Last week I had told you about my close friend. Now, I will tell you about my memorable experience.
            The most memorable experience that I ever had is being a Ticketing Crew. It was memorable because Mass Communication was the actual major that I want to choose and work at TV Station were my goal when I was at second grade of senior high school; therefore, when I had an opportunity to become a ticketing crew on one of TV stations, I was very excited. I was very happy although I didn’t choose Mass Communication Department as my major; I still can have several knowledge about it. Many impressive things that I had while I work; such as, meet and greet artists that I admire a lot, they are: Om Indro “warkop”, Ka Ria Enes and Susan, Bondan Prakoso, Unyil, I admire them a lot since I was in kindergarten, Even foreign artist like Christian Bautista, Thailand’s singer which adored by many females and Rick Price, a singer who sings “Heaven Knows”, one of my favorite songs.  Not only a lot of happiness that I had when I was worked but also the sorrow; such as, when I was on duty, I found an audiences that stubborn and unruly so I had to do public relations style of diplomacy, so they were not mad and still be able to enjoy the show. Then, I ever had to work until 3 am and do had lectures at 8 am, sometimes I had do traverse Mampang to Halim Perdana Kusuma, my old house, in the early morning. Besides, I also had no time for my family and my close friends, and I often did the assignments in a hurry because I had to be standing by for briefing with my teammates. My typhoid was relapse and I had to resign of HIMA’s membership. Now I also have resigned from that job to be more focus in the lecture. I still  joy because  I realized in every decision that I took there must be some risks.

That’s the story about my experiences. Lastly, I thankful to almighty God for the opportunity, Trans TV's PR team for the trust that given to me and of course my family, my close friends for the supports they provide. I am blessed to have it all. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Have a nice day..!

A Lovely Girl

Assalamualaikum. All praise be to Allah, the lord of the universe who guides us back to the straight path. How are you guys? Around these eight months, I didn't post anything on this blog because I'm completely busy these days. I am not as productive as always in writing. Hopefully, twice a month I can post my story on this blog. My first story on this month is about one of my beloved friends.

I have a best classmate at Hamka University named Hikayatul Khairiyah. I usually call her Hika. I knew her since two years ago. She is a nice girl because she is a friendly, pretty, careful, smart and religious girl. She always takes a good care of many people, she is very lovable person. One thing that I am proud of her is she can be responsible with every decision she makes. Even sometimes she got bored and lazy with her activities. She can handle it for example, she often does the tasks from our teacher in last minutes, but she can do it well. Sometimes I call her "Ms. Perfect" because she often has a perfect fit although the time is impossible. She has a bad habit; she sometimes comes late in each event even to the lectures. Maybe it caused by her habit. We have a similar hobby. We love to watch movies. Especially the movies that can improve our new vocabularies in English. Knowing her good and bad side, I feel fortunate to know her. She's one of my best friends, and I hope we can maintain this good relation forever. Amen…

The benefits of mastering English language in Indonesia.


1.      Having (much) more friends. 
 If you can speak English. You can have many friends from the other country. Because
English is an International language. We can see from many social networks on the internet, many of them use English language. We rare see one site that use Indonesian language. So, when you master English, you can chat online, write letters and travel around the world – using one language!

2.   Accelerate your career advancement.
      Most international business is conducted in English. If you want a managerial positions in
multinational companies, most likely you will be required to speak English. A number of prestigious companies now even set a minimum IELTS or TOEFL for potential job applicants. And then, English is not only important for business people. World of technology, aviation, tourism and diplomatic depend closely on the English language.

3. Open the window
wider world
       Many books, magazines and newspapers are available in English. Many foreign language books are translated only into English. If you can read English, you will have the option of reading a much more
diversity, as in the movies.
4. Conquer Internet
       You might think that many sites are translated into Indonesian. But in fact, 80% of electronic information is only available in English. While 20% of the others was not
entirely dominated by Indonesian, but also non-English foreign language, like Chinese, Japanese, French and so forth. So imagine just how many percent of all information on the Internet are presented in the Indonesian language.
5. Being a scientist
         Researchers and scientists around the world communicate with each other in English. Scientific conference held in English and research results are also published in English language journals. Most scientists around the world to read in English.
