who knows woman

i think we'll have a same conclusion, no one will knows woman better than herself. unfortunately, it lead to a misfortune for us, man. being a couple with that fact is never been easy...

some couple succeed and when i asked the tips, the answer always the same... the 1st step and also the most important step is both parties are accept the fact that they are different. venus and mars, etc etc... but believe me, it's not as easy as the sound. to be like that a man need a passion and also a patience. a true passion will lead a man not to give up... to try again and again... to be brave to admit that he was wrong... to learn with curiosity and love... to accept without hesitation.

lets not discuss about the patience thing... it's realy not my thing :)

to end the discussion let me tell you one of two things that i agree with my friend, pong2, yesterday:
- shut your mouth when you sad, confused, mad or else... just be a good listener even she'll say something awful, something that she'll regret for a long time.. a man can be more forgiving...

ps.
i forget the second one, hiks

new structure

it's been a common secreat that my division will have a new structure. My big boss will handle another department then our section will supervise by the japanese and one of key person in sales team will resign, hmmm... i dont know it is a good or bad news. but this company has survived from many changes. It's a good sign, isn't it?

actually i write this because of my worry about the change. I'm not afraid of change. moreover i believe that we need some change... but i realy dont know where this change going to lead. the situation will ask many changes in sales team structure and somehow i have to believe that this sudden change will injure the team spirit.

too many changes is not good, that's the fact. a learning curve has to achieve in order to make a stability become effective. i'm not trying to say that the new structure is lack of experience... it just a pity that we have to begin a new curve (again).

ps.
will i go for new post? i dont care. :p

product planning vs product preparation

sebagai distributor tunggal sekaligus produsen, sudah selayaknya ATPM memiliki sebuah fungsi yang disebut product planning. Fungsi ini, pada umumnya, melakukan research mengenai kebutuhan konsumen, mengukur acceptance existing products, mempersiapkan produk baru dsb... namun yang paling esensial adalah memperjuangkan adanya keselarasan antara needs dan supply.

Di banyak tempat, product planning diberikan kesempatan yang luas dengan akses yang istimewa. Tentu saja harus demikian karena wawasan fungsi ini harus lebih luas dari sekedar promotion atau penjualan. Pada dasarnya, ia mewakili consumen needs... and consumen dream.

Di sebagian yang lain, product planning ini seperti menjadi anak tiri. fungsinya dikebiri sedemikian sehingga yang ia lakukan hanya sekedar mempersiapkan produk baru yang sudah "given", mencari tahu apa saja kelebihan produk tersebut dan menyampaikannya kepada bagian promotion untuk dapat dikemas dalam promotion program. Beberapa yang kreatif tidak berputus asa dan mendedikasikan dirinya juga kepada lahirnya produk-produk limited... yang kadang kala justru menimbulkan masalah lain di kemudian hari. Akhirnya, mereka tidak lebih dari tim "product preparation"...

Ketika hal tersebut terjadi dan penjualan tidak kunjung membaik, future picture-nya seolah menjadi sangat jelas... perusahaan kehilangan kemampuan kompetitifnya karena bagaimanapun PRODUCT adalah bagian pertama yang memegang peranan penting dalam marketing mix.

...salut buat perusahaan yang membuka mata terhadap hal ini, yang belum? hiks... sama dong.

Salesman oh Salesman...

Malam tadi, sewaktu menunggu dua sahabat, di Pelataran Senayan City saya duduk tidak jauh dari beberapa salesman Hyundai yang sedang melepas lelah. Mereka bercengkrama sambil sesekali melepas tawa. Tidak ketinggalan, rokok dinyalakan sebagai pelengkap suasana...

...tidak berapa lama, beberapa orang bule, entah turis atau tidak muncul dengan langkah2 mantap. Tidak tergesa-gesa tapi jelas tidak sekali tidak bisa dibilang jalan perlahan. tiba-tiba salah satu salesman berteriak, mengangkat tangan dan menyapa sekenanya... "haaai, how are you mister?"

tidak seperti rekan-rekannya yang hanya sekedar melirik dan tersenyum, salah seorang bule itu menengok dan menjawab "fine, thank you"... lantas para salesman ini dengan serta merta, dalam tingkat kekompakan yang luar biasa, tertawa. Mereka meledek dan mengata-ngatai bule-bule tersebut, lantas mulai kembali bercanda dan berkeluh kesah...

...di sekitarnya ada puluhan orang yang silih berganti lalu lalang memandang heran... dan sebagian iba... dan sebagian lain jijik.

kasihan Hyundai.

ps. ada tanda larangan merokok di pelataran tersebut

s'pore experience

the most accurate words to describe my days at s'pore is "walking around". taxi is too expensive, and i late to realized that i need to have a link card to access bus and MRT.... but the truly reason is the fact that i went to s'pore not be a tourist but to visit my sweetheart echi... so i didn't bring much money ^^

just like others, i should say that s'pore is well designed city... ups country. :)
and i captured 2 things that makes me surprise...

1.
they have so many museums. i visited one of them... art museum.
It's an old building but they renovate it smoothly... it's modern and artistic
they put many things there, their history, generation to generation...
they also organized some art exhibition and class.
they put some statue outside.... and it was amaze me...

2.
they create many parks everywhere...
It's well cared and it's very comfortable to be there

That was a small thing but i do believe that somehow it make me believe that if they care enough to those things... they must be very confidence about other things... they must be work very hard...

i enjoy my lovely moments with echi that time... and going home with a new spirit...

just realize (again)

The most important of being a family member is supporting each other. Mine always try to do it. My mother is very supportive. She always try to use "agamis" approach. My father prefer a more logical one. My brother use another way but he try do the best. Echi... her smile only can make everything healed... and that combo makes me think that i'm not alone. stronger...





Actually, i read a book which make me realize that to become very successfull person, an outlier, we need more than genius brain, hard work and tremendous skill. we need opportunities. we need supports... so now, i just need to catch my opportunity.

thanks all... happy iedul fitri 1430 H.

Thanks, but no, thanks

Are U dare to say NO?

kalau sama hal-hal yang gak kita sukai sih gampang, apalagi yang sudah jelas-jelas merugikan kita...
Bagaimana dengan hal-hal yang enak, halal namun tidak boleh kita nikmati?

hmmm... mungkin pertanyaan selanjutnya adalah, emang ada yang kek begitu?

hihihi, tulisan ini sengaja diawali dengan banyak pertanyaan, karena kurang lebih menggambarkan suasana hati penulisnya (ceileeeh...)

enak, halal tapi gak boleh dinikmati... buat gw saat ini: ada

i'll make an analogy, an extreme one.
if a beer company asked U to join with double (or triple) salary and ur values doesn't allow U to drink alcohol, what would U do?

If U take it, U will betray ur heart voices, U cant enjoy ur job and at the end U'll find urself unhappy... what do U expect from that kind of job?

Unfortunately, ur current job doesnt give U highest complacency...
U think it's not ur dream job and the environment is not supportive enough...

My friends said, it's all about courage. I said, it's all about values.
Changing anything has many reasons but if i do it, it must be not only for a better salay.

Sorry pren, that was a good offering but i have to decline that one... yeeeehaaaa :)

worry

Sometime i think i worry too much. mostly about the people i loved. I know it looks normal but in many occasion, this worry lead me to useless, time consuming and unconstructive behavior. My hart beats faster and i loose my focus. Unfortunately, i often do mistake when i loose my focus.

My mom fully understand it. She almost never tell me any bad news except urgent things which involved my family members. It very helpful but also dilemmatic. The way she managed that info makes me not uptodate enough and feels too behind. It makes me not supportive enough for my beloved ones. hmmm...

Since living at Jakarta, a litle far from my family and my lovely echi, i learn to control it. Not 100% successful yet but it shows some good progress. Bad news always come and i still worry too much... but i trying hard to keep focus.

Iaquinta

aaah tahpapa orang ini. setelah mencetak gol dengan tandukan yang keren, tiga menit kemudian iaquinta diusir wasit setelah menerima dua kartu kuning. satu kartu ia terima setelah melakukan selebrasi buka baju stelah mencetak gol, satu lagi karena melakukan tekel keras kepada pemain catania. kesamaan keduanya adalah sesungguhnya keduanya bener-bener gak perlu dia lakukan.

Buka baju? hooo come on... selebrasi yang dia lakukan jelas terlalu berlebihan mengingat bahwa dia sendiri tahu apa yang akan menjadi konsekuensinya. tekelnya juga sangat gak perlu karena potenza (klo gak salah) tidak berada pada posisi yang membahayakan dan banyak pemain lain yang melapis pertahanan di belakang iaquinta. terlepas dari pengamatan saya yang melihat bahwa tekelnya sebenernya sangat tidak layak diganjar kartu kuning kedua, apa yang dilakukan iaquinta benar-benar tidak bertanggung jawab.

Dari sini kita bisa belajar bahwa setiap anggota tim memiliki tanggung jawab daripada sekedar mencetak gol atau bermain baik. untuk mencapai kemenangan ada variabel lain yang harus diperjuangkan: sportivitas lah, semangat lah, kerja sama lah, dan sebagainya. intinya ketika kita menyadari bahwa keberhasilan merupakan sesuatu yang dicapai bersama maka sudah semestinya kita mempelajari apa-apa saja yang perlu kita lakukan demi menjaga suasana kerjasama tersebut selalau berjalan baik... dan setelah paham lalu berkomitmen untuk melaksanakannya sepenuh hati.

Pada iaquinta, saya berterima kasih: atas satu gol cantiknya dan atas kebodohannya yang membuat saya akan mengingat terus pelajaran ini. hidup JUVE.
