{family} ke safari melalui polisi

{cisarua} 19 maret 2007

minggu yang cerah dan perjalanan yang menyenangkan, seharusnya. tetapi pagi itu, perjalanan di awali dengan pengalaman yang tidak mengenakkan. mobil distop seorang polisi karena ... nomer platnya menunjukkan bulan penggantian stnk dan tidak ada alasan lain kecuali hal tersebut. karena belum melampui tanggal kadaluarsa, saya yakin kalow masalah akan selesai dengan cepat, ternyata saya salah stnk yang biasanya di dompet saya secara tak sengaja oleh teman saya tidak dikembalikan ke tempatnya semula. akhirnya setelah mengakui kesalahan saya harus dikenai tilang, kebetulan hari minggu dan bersama keluarga saya bersedia menitipkan uang tilang (sekitar 300an ribu) ke sang polisi. sebelumnya saya sempat meng"khotbah"i sang polisi tentang aturan agama dan negara masalah suap menyuap.
saya tidak menawar sepeserpun nilai uang tilang, dengan alasan untuk menghindari uang tilang menjadi uang damai. saya pesan untuk dimasukkan ke bank senin berikutnya, tetapi setelah itu saya tidak pernah dipanggil untuk sidang atas masalah ini. semoga sang polisi menyampaikan ke yang berhak dan tidak menggunakan untuk kepentingan yang lain.

selanjutnya saya bersama keluarga melanjutkan perjalanan ke taman safari setelah sempat memotret berkas sebagai pengganti kwitansi dan mencatat hp sang polisi.

kejadian itu tidak sempat merusak keseluruhan acara yang cukup dinikmati oleh anak-anak.

{oki} at a barber shop

nirwana, 18 maret 2007
seperti biasa, oki harus pergi ke tukang cukur atau ke salon setelah mendapat tegoran dari gurunya, rambutnya sudah extra panjang. saya menyukai rambut dia yang lebat dibiarkan memanjang dan poninya sedikit di atas alis -- yang mengingatkan gaya adi bing slamet jaman doeloe -- okipun oke aja, tetapi peraturan tetap peraturan. rambut harus dipangkas juga.

[EZ] Boedoet from the Sky

[Google] ... another free feature from Google ... GoogleEarth. We can find any place in the world with a fingertip. Look!!! See my school, SMA Negeri 1 Budi Utomo 7, alias Boeodoet from the sky.

The street is Budi Utomo street, where two school SMA 1 and STM are located and adjacent. I experienced both school were in fighting, I just imagined a war between Palestine and Zionist Israel with its throwing and flying stone.

[EZ] New Design of Toilet

This is another break through on designing new concept of toilet ... (damn twice I post pic related toilet after last "SOTO" and ergonomic-less office place concept).

This design may give a lot of disadvantage, some men may quee in one point because a girl keep watching him or even taking a picture.

Some wise advice, don't try this at home unless a girl in the picture is your wife.

[Indonesia] PP 37 dan Legalisasi Rampok Berjamaah

[Nirwana]

Akhirnya revisi PP 37 dikeluarkan juga oleh Pemerintah, mengatur bagaimana membagi uang rakyat ke pada wakil rakyat. Bagaimanapun "bijaksana"nya pemerintah menanggapi respon masyarakat terhadap PP 37 sehingga melahirkan PP 37 revisi, masyarakat masih merasa tidak adanya keadilan. Bagaimana pemerintah memikirkan wakil rakyat yang sudah berlimpah dengan segala previllege, dan mengacuhkan masyarakat miskin baru yang hanya dapat memakan beras aking --- dan jumlahnya jutaan orang.



Mengapa penggajian wakil rakyat atau pejabat tidak tergantung dari merit, keberhasilan dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan rakyat. Sehingga pemerintah mengeluarkan PP 37 revisi bukan tentang berapa besar mereka dapat dengan legal merampok berjamaah uang rakyat, tetapi mejelaskan beberapa indikator keberhasilan di tingkat daerah sampai pusat. Dasar penggajian seharusnya bukanlah PAD tetapi tingkat penggajian UMR yang berlaku. Untuk seorang anggota DPRD ataupun DPR, misalkan adalah 10x dari UMR yang berlaku, sedangkan wakil ketua dan ketua memiliki pengali yang lebih besar. Sedangkan kenaikan tahunan, merupakan perbandingan antara target indikator keberhasilan dengan aktual pencapaiannya.



Dengan keterbukaan indikator keberhasilan dan pencapaian, masyarakat akan mendukung setiap kenaikan penggajian karena berhubungan langsung dengan perbaikan taraf hidup rakyat. Bagi wakil rakyat itu sendiri, mereka memakan gajinya pun dengan lebih berbangga, tidak seperti sekarang sekedar benalu dan rampok masyarakat yang dilindungi undang-undang.

[tech] writing weblog offline and more

[nirwana]

I always admire with Google and any freeware champion to beat Microsoft. They work very hard with the idea just like a regular TV station, every one watches TV for free but they will be paid by ad, while Microsoft is just like pay-per-view TV. Both should be able to live and every one can choose which one is suitable for them.



Back to Google or Mozilla for example, I use both products in frequent, from blogger.com to publish my idea or Mozilla Firefox to browse. Lately, I empower this powerful browser (compare to Internet Explorer) with so huge libraries of adds on, one of it is "Performancing" which enable me to write down an entry of my blog offline.



Just as good as writing online, but now I can write my opinion any time eventhough there is no connection to internet.



Back again to Google, with its breakthrough to be able to work "like" office document and spreadsheet with only internet connection, work one file with other counter part across the globe, real time and free --- is really the breakthrough.

[opini] choice and consequence

sekarang orangtua banyak memberikan pilihan kepada sang anak dan membiarkan sang anak sebagai sang decision maker. suatu hal yang cukup menggembirakan selama ada batas-batas tertentu dan sekedar memberi tingkat keleluasaan lebih lebar pada aspek yang semakin lebih luas. orang tua harus memperlebar keleluasan dan memperluas aspek bersamaan dengan kedewasaan sang anak.

bahkan anak-anak balita sekarang mampu memilih dan merangkai baju celana yang matching, mungkin lebih bagus dibanding kita dulu. anak-anak yang jauh lebih well informed atas hampir segala hal dibanding era orang tuanya dahulu.

begitu juga ketika akan mencari sekolahan, saya merasakan pendidikan berlandaskan keseimbangan antara agama dan umum, kemandirian dan sosialisasi, kepandaian intelectual dan emotional, atau keseimbangan lainnya. diketerbasan saya, saya melihat pondok pesantren modern merupakan salah satu pendekatannya.

dan sejak kelas 4, saya berusaha menanamkan opsi tambahan untuk bersekolah selain SMP, yaitu pondok pesantren modern yang sekarang menjamur. memasuki kelas 6, mulai diajak untuk melihat beberapa boarding school yang bernuansa non pesantren hingga yang mengedepankan pesantren modern. pemahaman akhirnya terbentuk bahwa ada opsi lain untuk jenjang SMP. sang anakpun juga mulai mencari referensi dari teman-temannya, pernah share vcd temennya tentang sebuah pesantren di bogor.

akhirnya, februari yl dia ingin masuk ke boarding school dan memilih di mana dia punya teman sd, bahkan dia berhasil mengajak teman sekompleks untuk bergabung.

setiap minggu kita sekeluarga masih diperbolehkan menjenguk dan sang anak juga semakin betah. perkembangannya juga menggembirakan dari sisi agama maupun kepemimpinan. pilihan dan konsekuensi sudah dipilih olehnya atas opsi-opsi yang lebih berkembang. walaupun di awal, sang anak tetap menginginkan opsi ketika memasuki jenjang lebih tinggi lagi untuk menentukan pilihan sekolahnya.

[F1] Go Kimi Go

Another season is coming in, the engines have been started, the lap after lap have been tested. This year is the year of my hero. Kimi will win the champion this year, after one point distant with the champion in 2004 and the worst year in row of the team performance, now it is the time.

The time to be a champion is now, you can beat Alonso ... even Schumi (who is Schumi any way).

Go for it ... Iceman, you can smile now!

Gene: 'Ferrari can win titles with Kimi'

Ferrari test driver Marc Gene is confident that the Scuderia will fight for this year's Championship titles even without Michael Schumacher. Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season after finishing runner-up to Fernando Alonso in the Drivers' Championship title. However, the Spaniard shouldn't expect an easy run to this year's trophy just because Schumacher's out of the way. In fact, Gene believes new Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen has a chance of beating Alonso to the 2007 World title. "Schumacher won so much with Ferrari that some doubt if, with Schumacher gone, Ferrari can continue in the same form," Gene told Diario As.

"As I see it, though, Ferrari is still Ferrari and Raikkonen is a great driver."As for concerns about the pace of the new F2007 in recent testing, Gene claims that the Scuderia's preparations for the upcoming season are more advanced than they were at this same time last year."At this time last year we were not in as strong a position as we are right now, so we believe we will start the year level with the competition," he said.

[EZ] The One ticket experiment

3 engineers and 3 accountants are travelling by train to a conference. At the station, the 3 accountants each buy tickets and watch as the 3 engineers buy only a single ticket.

- "How are 3 people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an accountant.

- "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.

They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets.
He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."

The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.
The conductor takes it and moves on.

The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all.

- "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed accountant.

- "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.

When they board the train the 3 accountants cram into a restroom and the 3 engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says,
"Ticket, please."

[World] SOHO or SOTO

[Nirwana]
This is an example of how people manages their time ... and it start to think out side the box. This must be the new revolution on managing office space, people start think to have small office and home office (SOHO). This guy thinks advance how to combine work space, personal space with minimalist (no cable at all) ... This guy has just introduced us new jargon ... SOTO - small office TOILET office

Economic but not ergonomic ... wanna try??!

40 years ago today:

A boy was born at Demak hospital on Saturday Pahing morning. The fourth kid of Abdullah Zaini - a young judge at that time. I was no strength, no power but a cry; no good deed but no sin; no wealth but health.

40 years later:

A boy becomes a man with a wife and three kids+, celebrated this day with a kiss from a wife and all kids, I also got called from my brothers and sister and also an sms from a friend --- a surprise one ---

Any way, happy birthday to me --- hope that all good wishes are blessed by Allah and all hope and pray are anwered, here and then.

[kids] halal and no msg

[nirwana]
oki run to me with a hand full of chocolate, "papa, is it okey to buy me one, there is a halal sign and no msg", my five year old boy asking for a snack. no wonder for me, my kids asked me like that as i tried to embed deep in their head that we can only eat halal food and msg can make us stupid as it is a toxic for our brain... and it works.

when we go to hypermart or carrefour to buy goods, they will ready to fill up their basket with candy and snack. i do encourage them to set how much they want to buy and i have set them such boundaries: known brand with halal sign and no msg. eventhough sometime the manufacturers manipulated msg with mono sodium glutamate or mono natrium glutamate. sometimes my kids pointed out on the ingridients that there is no "msg", but i clarified that msg is similar with mono sodium glutamate or mono natrium glutamate, as written in ingredient.

sometimes, i let them to buy one, specially when oki asked something that crossing my boundary. he will keep asking me "please, papa ... just once and i want it so much ... please papa". but now, the kids have better understanding.

while for me and my wife, our boundary is more stringent - we will seek "halal food" from legal MUI and "made in Indonesia" is most preferred goods. I gave up using Mobile-1 and use Fastron of Pertamina, I keep buying Pertamax instead of Shell or Petronas fuel gas. I selectively buy Cadburry to avoid "made in Malaysia", never bought Pantene of Thailand and buy Dove or Clear of Unilever.

Later, I will educate my kids higher after moving class from "halal with no msg" to "legally halal, no msg and made in Indonesia".

Thing that I keep buying regularly is K Link product as some product is made in Indonesia, Malaysia, USA or India.

[Me] 5 days behind my 40

{Tanjung Barat}
Following is special comment from my boss as Central Coach, Walt in Houston related my movement to other position...

Muiz,
I appreciate your comments and have enjoyed having you on my team. You have made a huge impact in a relatively short time and I thank you for your efforts and contributions to our team and the asset. I have spoken to her and agree with the decision to move you to the Director of Organization Capability (DOC) role. I am confident that you will do an outstanding job and it is an important role. The MOC is the key next step and I believe that your time will be best spent working on that. I will be making future visits to Jakarta and we will have the opportunity to meet and discuss more face to face. Muiz, I will take your call at 9am Houston time when you call.
Regards,

It's relieving to have support from him as he was welcoming me good when first I joined this global central coach, but now I have to leave this to another role.

Both is global role - I will be road warrior globally in this or the other role.

Thanks, Walt

This is my last posting related my new job.

I have to move to other position as a director in one of directorate in this company. I am sure this is good for my carrier, but the challange or "risk" & "price" are significant if i can perform this.

Me: New Year and New Assignment

[January 23]

Finally another year has gone with the wind ... I am older than a year ago. Thanks to the Lord for all happiness and sadness, for all things He has given me, He has taken from me and He has left for me.

This year is special for me and always, 2007, 1997, 1987, 1977 and 1967 ... seven is my magic number. Just several days ahead, I will be fourty ... too old to make a sin and too young to die.

Beginning of the year, I have expected to get a new position after one year assignment as Central Coach, working with global community. I shared this news to all my Central Coaches in world wide, as I will not attend the 2007 annual global meeting in Houston for next two weeks. Following is their comment:

Mark, Aberdeen
