Hm.. Shopping in Melbourne is a bit different with what you can see in Indonesia.
When you live in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, people go to Shopping Mall to do their shopping from buying food, accessories until doing groceries. But, here in Melbourne, the style is a bit different.
Yes, we have malls. But, it's not that much. And local government still give some space for traditional seller.
Melbourne host to Victoria Market, one of the most popular market in the world. It's still in traditional way and it does not open on Monday and Wednesday. It has few halls which separate based on the product sold.
It's quite tidy market and it's also one of the tourist attractions in Melbourne. When you do tour around Melbourne, the tour will take you to Victoria Market for sure.
Back there in Indonesia, people tend to go to shopping mall rather than traditional market. There are couple of reasons, such as: convenience and security. When you are in traditional market, the environment is not that nice. You'll get annoyed just after a while. Whether it's too hot/sunny or too squashy. Even when you go to a shopping-town like, the place is also not that nice.
The other reason is security. The security level in Indonesia is much lower than here in Melbourne. And there are gangs in every place in Indonesia. They rule the place and hardly can be touched.
Yeah.. so, living in Melbourne and Indonesia has two different lifestyle to shop. Here, people still respect and want to shop in traditional way. But, in Indonesia, people tend to go to shopping mall.
I really hope that Indonesia government can do something to make the traditional way still alive. It's more natural and better.
Hope that in the future, it's not just malls in Indonesia.

Things Gonna be Missed: Gardens (2 of 5)
This is the second blog of the series. This is the next thing that I'm gonna miss, Gardens.
Yes, Melbourne is a city of gardens. In each suburb, there is at least a small area of reserve, where the green is preserve and, sometimes, there is playground.
Melbourne is host of one of the best Botanical Garden in the world. It's called Royal Botanical Garden, lies along St Kilda road, next to Shrine of Remembrance and near Yarra River.
I've been there few times and it's the best garden that I've ever visited so far. It has an aura that can't be explained. It's like you come into peace within a crowded environment.
You still can see some Melbourne's skyscrapers from the garden, but the garden itself bring different aura to yourself. It's hard to explain, it's better that you experience it by yourself.
Beside Botanical Garden, there are lots of garden around Melbourne. Most of the garden is awesome. Some of the reserve is also OK, since it's even harder to find open place in Indonesia.
Back to Indonesia, I don't think that we can find the reserves or gardens that much. In Jakarta itself, I just know the one in National Monument. I don't know the others.
In my hometown, it's even worse. I don't think that Jambi has reserves or gardens that opens to public. I know about an orchid garden, but I don't think that it's accessible for public. There is another youth garden, but it's usually used by students for a date place. And it's to scary to be there.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna miss the gardens. It's hard to find in another city.

Things Gonna be Missed: Flowers (1 of 5)
Yeah, starting from today, I will write about things that I'm gonna miss when I back there in my hometown. This blogs is the first of the series. I think at least I will write 5 things.
When I back there, one thing that I gonna miss is flowers. This city is full of flowers, even though most of them are in store. But, it's something that you rarely find in Indonesia.
For example, when you go to a shopping town in Melbourne, most of the time you can spot a flower shop between the shop. And there are few shops running around the clock.
But, back there in Indonesia, it's hard to find flower shop in the shopping mall. I know that most probably the rent fee is too high to be covered just by selling flowers. I once bought flower from Carefour, one of supermarkets that sells flower.
I know that flowers are not Indonesian culture. We rarely bring flowers for friends. And we rarely decorate home with flowers. Yeah, as young people, sometimes we buy flowers for our mates. But, that's all.
I don't really know what people here buy flowers for. But, I just like to see flowers whenever I walk down the road. It's natural and it's life. If you just see building, building and building, then it's just a cold expression. It's not life.
Hope that I could have a small garden back there to plant with some flowers. I plan to plant some flowers. Hope that I have enough time to do that.
It's 10 days to go and I'm exciting to be back there.

Jul 24, 08 - 2 Weeks to Go
Yeah.. I think I just have two weeks left in Melbourne. It's so exciting.
Right now, I'm exciting about the day I go back. It will be in two weeks time. And I believe that it will be one of the greatest decisions that I've ever made in my life.
In this two weeks time, I hope to see some of my friends here and also to taste some food that I've tasted before. It's just for a remembrance of this nice city. I really want to be back here later in the future.
Yeah, true that I love this city, I love Melbourne. It's a nice city with a nice environment. But, after going through 1.5 years here, I don't think that I will live here forever. There's something missing that I can't experience here.
I'm exciting. And I plan few things with my girl when I reach Jakarta later. It's not really a big trip or anything. It's just simply a day off with both of us. Talking, cuddling, joking, discussing, etc. I hope that we can't have a good quality time back there.
I'm really looking forward to see here soon enough.
Jambi, here I come.

Jul 20, 08 - You Just Need to Believe
Yeah, that's the words from Master Oogway in Kungfu Panda movie, "You just need to believe".
During our life, how many time have you ever have a doubt? How many time have you think that you are inferior? How many time have you have grudge in your heart?
Even, in a simple occasion, we still could think that we are not good enough or have a drawback because of the past. But, in the movie, it's told that we just need to believe to make something happen.
Dragon Scroll has nothing in it. But, it has a surface like a mirror. The Dragon Warrior (or whoever see the Scroll) can see their face in the Scroll.
There is no secret ingredient. But, I believe the only secret ingredient lies on your mind. If you think that you're success, then you are. If you think that you're great, then you are. If you think that you can finish a complicated task, then you can.
Here I am right now. Bound with this city which doesn't mean to be my future. I know that I love this city so much. But, I also know that it's not my place at the moment.
I believe that wherever I am, I can survive, I can success, I can stand up. I believe that I just need to believe to fulfill my dreams, wishes and hopes, goals and objectives.
In the other end, I need to be persevere to pursue my life. To make my all come true. It's not an easy task. But, I believe.
In order to fulfill each single of those, I believe that I also need to take different measurement and approach. Everyone is different. And I need to watch the situation and condition, read more, take chances and opportunities, rely on someone and myself, and (most importantly) ACT.
I just need to BELIEVE.

Belajar dari Po, Kungfu Panda
Po , si Panda jantan, yang sehari-hari bekerja di toko mie ayahnya, memiliki impian untuk menjadi seorang pendekar Kung Fu.
Tak disangka, dalam pemilihan Pendekar Naga, Po dinobatkan sebagai Pendekar Naga yang dinanti- nantikan kehadirannya untuk melindungi desa dari balas dendam Tai Lung.
Saat menonton film animasi ini, kita seperti diingatkan tentang beberapa hal:
1. The secret to be special is you have to believe you're special.
Po hampir putus asa karena tidak mampu memecahkan rahasia Kitab Naga, yang hanya berupa lembaran kosong. Wejangan dari ayahnya-lah yang akhirnya membuatnya kembali bersemangat dan memandang positif dirinya sendiri. Kalau kita berpikir diri kita adalah spesial, unik, berharga kita pun akan punya daya dorong untuk melakukan hal-hal yang spesial.
Kita akan bisa, kalau kita berpikir kita bisa.
Seperti kata Master Oogway, You just need to believe
2. Teruslah kejar impianmu.
Po , panda gemuk yang untuk bergerak saja susah akhirnya bisa menguasai ilmu Kung Fu. Berapa banyak dari kita yang akhirnya menyerah, gagal mencapai impian karena terhalang oleh pikiran negatif diri kita sendiri? Seperti kata Master Oogway, kemarin adalah sejarah, esok adalah misteri, saat ini adalah anugerah, makanya disebut Present hadiah. Jangan biarkan diri kita dihalangi oleh kegagalan masa lalu dan ketakutan masa depan. Ayo berjuanglah di masa sekarang
yang telah dianugerahkan Tuhan padamu.
3. Kamu tidak akan bisa mengembangkan orang lain, sebelum kamu percaya dengan kemampuan orang itu, dan kemampuan dirimu sendiri.
Master ShiFu ogah-ogahan melatih Po. Ia memandang Po tidak berbakat. Kalaupun Po bisa, mana mungkin ia melatih Po dalam waktu sekejap. Kondisi ini berbalik seratus delapan puluh derajat, setelah ShiFu diyakinkan Master Oogway -gurunya- bahwa Po sungguh-sungguh adalah Pendekar Naga dan Shi Fu satu-satunya orang yang mampu melatihnya.
Sebagai guru atau orang tua, hal yang paling harus dihindari adalah memberi label bahwa anak ini tidak punya peluang untuk berubah. Sangatlah mudah bagi kita untuk menganggap orang lain tidak punya masa depan. Kesulitan juga acap kali membuat kita kehilangan percaya diri, bahwa kita masih mampu untuk membimbing mereka.
4.Tiap individu belajar dengan cara dan motivasinya sendiri.
Shi Fu akhirnya menemukan bahwa Po baru termotivasi dan bisa mengeluarkan semua kemampuannya, bila terkait dengan makanan. Po tidak bisa menjalani latihan seperti 5 murid jagoannya yang lain.
Demikian juga dengan setiap anak. Kita ingat ada 3 gaya belajar yang kombinasi ketiganya membuat setiap orang punya gaya belajar yang unik. Hal yang menjadi motivasi tiap orang juga berbeda-beda. Ketika kita memaksakan keseragaman proses belajar, dipastikan akan ada anak-anak yang dirugikan.
5. Kebanggaan berlebihan atas anak/murid/diri sendiri bisa membutakan mata kita tentang kondisi sebenarnya, bahkan bisa membawa mereka ke arah yang salah.
Master ShiFu sangat menyayangi Tai Lung, seekor macan tutul, murid pertamanya, yang ia asuh sejak bayi. Ia membentuk Tai Lung sedemikian rupa agar sesuai dengan harapannya. Memberikan impian bahwa Tai Lung akan menjadi Pendekar Naga yang mewarisi ilmu tertinggi. Sayangnya Shi Fu tidak melihat sisi jahat dari Tai Lung dan harus membayar mahal, bahkan nyaris kehilangan nyawanya.
6. Hidup memang penuh kepahitan, tapi jangan biarkan kepahitan tinggal dalam hatimu.
Setelah dikhianati oleh Tai Lung, Shi Fu tidak pernah lagi menunjukkan kebanggaan dan kasih sayang pada murid-muridnya. Sisi terburuk dari kepahitan adalah kita tidak bisa merasakan kasih sayang dan tidak bisa berbagi kasih sayang.
7. Keluarga sangatlah penting.
Di saat merasa terpuruk, Po disambut hangat oleh sang ayah. Berkat ayahnya pula Po dapat memecahkan rahasia Kitab Naga dan menjadi Pendekar nomor satu.
Sudahkah kita memberi dukungan pada anggota keluarga kita?

Jul 19, 08 - Death Penalty
Last night, there are 3 prisoners who is shot to death as their verdict in the court. It's such a pity that you must end your life in such a way.
I just know the story of mother and child, Sumiarsih and Sugeng. Yeah, I think they did a very evil plan toward a family and kill all member of the family. They planned and killed 4 people in total and tried to make it as if it's a road accident.
It's a bit debatable whether someone (law or government) could decide over someone's life and death. There are a lot of countries out there that already banned capital punishment. But, in some other cases, they have a lot of prisoners in prisons and the condition could be worse than here, in Indonesia.
I still recall some of Aussie's prisoners in Indonesia's jail that don't want to be moved to Australia's jail since they believe that the condition in Aussie can be much worse. It could be because they have a better condition in Indonesia because they bribe the officers or simply it's better.
The case of Sumiarsih and Sugeng is a bit different with other death penalty cases in Indonesia. They are already jailed for 20 years waiting for the execution. And before the execution, there are a lot of debate happened. Yeah, since it's been 20 years without any execution. And why suddenly they are executed in the same night with other (even though not in the same area).
I still believe that Indonesia needs capital punishment in law. Indonesia is the source of drugs (especially, the one in pills or tablet shape) and government needs to produce a shock therapy for the manufacturer, distributor, carrier, etc.
Users are just the victim of overall cycle. And it's wiser to send them to therapy center rather than jail.
Yeah, I just wonder about the special case of Sumiarsih and Sugeng, since they've been in vain for 20 years and they are still shot to dead. What a pity process.

Jul 14, 08 - The Result
Yeah.. today is the result day. 14th of July 2008.
This is the last semester of my Master degree and I really hope to get a good result for the last course in my Master degree. As you know, this semester, I takes just one single course worth equally 48 credit units, or 4 courses.
And I found a lot of problems in the semester during the project time. We are together 5 students. There are couples of member changes during the semester and a lot of issues between members.
So, it comes to me a bit nervous to see the result. I try to see the result in the morning. It comes out at 8 AM in the morning. But, I think all students try to access the page and it becomes very slow.
Then, I just leave it to go to the office, since I don't want to be too late to be there. I reach office around 9.15 PM. Yeah, it's a long journey, with total about 1 hour journey from home to office.
When I reach there, my boss and colleagues tease me about the grade and when I gonna see the grade. I said later, could be in the lunch time.
But, in a minutes, around 9.30 PM, my team mate text me about his result. He get 85 which means HD. So, I just quickly check my result before I start to do stuff in the day.
To be amazed, I get the same result for the project. I can't say much. But, I think I deserve it. Four of 5 in our team get HD. I don't know about the last member. I tried to contact her before the result, but can't get through. I think I will try again next week.
Yeah, overall, I think it's a good result for me. During my 1.5 years study here, I get 4 DI and 4 HD for 8 courses and 1 HD for the project (equal to 4 courses). An I also get 4 courses exemption which completes my 2 years study here.
So, here I am. Finished my uni life and the real life will come soon.
I'm so excited!

Jun 10, 08 - Go Skiing
Hm.. It's been a week since my last post. Seems that being busy in the project erode my eagerness to blog. I should be more persistent to write more.
Yes, tomorrow, I'm going to skiing. It will be a long hour journey. It takes around 10 hours to go to Snowy Mountain located in another state.
I go there with my brother and sis-in-law. They arrange to meet their Binus friends to come along from Sydney. I think it will be around 10 people.
I hope a good experience there. Since it will be the first time to go skiing.

Jul 03, 08 - Camping Time
Hm.. tomorrow will be the camping time for me. It's not a real camping, though. Since we will stay inside and do most of the activities inside.
But, I'm a bit excited. The last time I'm in a camp is back to my high school time. I don't really remember the exact of it. But, it's quite fun.
It's just once that we really went to the camping area. It's about 1 hour drive from Jambi named Sungai Gelam. It's not real good place. But, it's good enough.
I still remember that it's somewhere in the jungle, but it has a river and path. It's quite scary at night and have bad sanitary; toilet is quite far from the camp.
Back to the topic, I don't know what I will experience tomorrow. But, I hope to get a good experience and excitement.
I don't know much about the detail of the camp. But, it will be somewhere in Mornington Peninsula. And we stay inside a house. I don't know how big is the house, since it should accommodate around 100 people.
So, I'm just waiting for the day.
See u. Ciao.
