I hate you, but I heart you

I hate you

I hate the way you care too much

Like I'm a little baby

I hate the way you tell the truth briefly

Like I don't know the reality

I hate you, but I heart you

What is it?

I am happy.
I am not ashamed showing my big forehead, with pimples of course.
I laugh as loud as I could. I laugh from my liver. I laugh a lot. Like a lot A LOT. Hahahahaa..
I wake up earlier than before.
I do my make up and dry my hair before going to office.
I start to love OVJ.
I wash my car properly.
I feel protected.
I feel like someone's watching my back, to catch me if I fall, in case.
I feel like smiling every time for no reason.

What is it?

What are you into?

  

Here i would like to share an easy way to know what division are you into when you want to step your foot in a company. I got it from Mark Plus Seminar by Alex Mulya. 

First step is fill the score in this table with score 1 to 5 each in Score X and Score Y:

Second step is sum up each score for X and Y then divide it into 5. You will get your X and Y score to place into the diagram above, and voila! you'll get what are you into :)

This is the example:

Score X= (2+2+5+1+3)/5= 2.6

Score Y= (4+4+3+3+2)/5= 3.2

So, the example is into STRATEGY!

Happy trying! :)

Honda Myth

So, since i work at Honda, I am forced to read this super thick book called Honda Myth by Masaki Sato. I like the ideas of the founder Soichiro Honda and co-founder Takeo Fujisawa. Honda was the engineer master, and Fujisawa was the business management master. They collaborated very well even enormously to make Honda one of the biggest automotive brand in the worldwide.

Here are the quotes I like the most inside Honda Myth:

I can build anything if I can just see it once. – Soichiro Honda (p.64)

“Honda isn’t a funeral home. Come on, show me your smiles. Smile, everyone.” – Fujisawa (p.83)

Managing is more than just paperwork. An executive needs to look to the future. Every executive should be an expert of some kind. Making them deal with the miscellany of daily business life is a waste of their talents. – Fujisawa (p.106)

Life is like a staircase, climbing upwards step by step, day by day. – Tadashi Kume, Honda’s third president (p.154)

“Soichiro Honda always has a ready smile, anywhere he goes, and charms the hell out of everyone he meets. Honda is a very fortunate company to have such a man. We at Toyota don’t have that luxury.” – Eiji Toyoda, Honorary Chairman of Toyota (p.224)

In an era of rapid change, thinking ahead is the only way to achieve long-term success. (p.233)

Honda’s directors firmly believed in taking breaks whenever they could, because their responsibilities meant late nights and working weekends and holidays whenever there was a problem. (p.254)

Rather than physical youth, being a Honda director demanded having a youthful mind. (p.255)

“At Honda, it’s sink or swim. They don’t teach you step-by-step; they just throw you into the pool and let you figure it out on your own. If you don’t know how to swim at first, you need to be aggressive to survive”. – Sathosi Okubo, the third chairman of Honda (p.263)

The crisis comes with an opportunity as well. (p.299)

Giving younger workers more authority and responsibility had been one of the driving forces behind Honda’s rapid growth as a company. (p.339)

“We have to win. And we have to keep winning,” Soichiro ordered the kids at The Japan Grand Prix 1987. (p.349)

Labuan Bajo, Flores

I finally had a chance to visit Labuan Bajo, September 4-9, 2010. Yay! 

I promised myself to take pictures of Labuan Bajo (Flores, East Nusa Tenggara) as much as i can. And here are my best shot. Enjoy :)

Almost Touchdown : Labuan Bajo from the top

Here is Komodo Airport, Labuan Bajo

Wings Air: Yes, it's quite small, but it's safe!

Centro Bajo Hotel : It's a beautiful, comfortable and (really) affordable hotel in town! Actually it's my uncle's hotel, so I stayed there 6 days for free, hehehe. Thank you uncle Topenos and Aunt Ivi for the generosity.

Bamboo Lamp : One of the corner I love so much at Centro Bajo Hotel

One of the view from our one day city trip

One of the place to hang out in Saturday night

See-through Balcony: You could see the sea and islands through Paradise balcony!

We all love Bob Marley!

Familiar huh? Kuku Bima Energi, PT. Sido Muncul, has this Bintang Flores Hotel pool in their television commercial advertisement. You can see the detail here.

The view behind the pool is way too beautiful.

Kids' happy face :)

Sunset Signature of Labuan Bajo *melting*

Pathway to Goa Cermin or Batu Cermin (Mirror Cave or Mirror Rock)

Troops are ready to enter the site! :D

You could see white shining rocks here at Mirror Cave or Mirror Rock

We had a way to see another beautiful view of Labuan Bajo. All you have to do is park your car anywhere high on the hill and have a walk.

Tada! We found this! Stunning :O

We had another trip to Pulau Kelor (Kelor Island). I love that wooden boat!

Shiny kids in sunny day :)

Can you see the small houses on the hill? That is actually bungalows hotel. Cool isn't it?

Another bungalows hotel. My uncle said it is owned by a French. Whoa!

Finally, Pulau Kelor (Kelor Island), after 1.5 hours in the boat :D

I met a foreigner there, he said Labuan Bajo is perfect for diving. No wonder: it has super clear water! :O

What I love about Labuan bajo:
1. The fresh air, not contaminated with any pollution :)
2. The fresh seafood. Yum, yum..
3. The beach: it has super clear water!

I really hope the government will take the tourism there more seriously, because Labuan Bajo is the main entrance to go to Komodo Island *fingers crossed*.
