Miniatures Museum of Taiwan

This museum as you know from the name contains many kinds of miniatures displayed. It located near the Songjiang Nanjing MRT station. You can refer to the map below...

You need to pay 150 if you are students and 180 if you're not... :) ahhh and don't forget to buy a stamp passport for 20 NT. ^^

Many kinds of little things here... the beautifully decorated room miniatures, barbie, tales miniatures, and many other things. I can't describe it very well because too many things there...haha But, to prevent this, I made a video about this museum...check this out... ^^

Regrets in Life : I'm not

NOT TRAVELLING WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE

I think...i always do this... if i have the chance, i will travel everywhere... maybe several people will think this statement as travelling around the world...but not for me. Travelling means EVERYWHERE... ga harus ke luar negeri...di dalam negeri juga okeh...ga kalah kali Indonesia... ^o^ dan karena kondisiku di Taiwan...so means a lot to me... can go everywhere in Taiwan...

MISSING THE CHANCE TO SEE YOUR FAVORITE MUSICIAN

My favorite musician... who? i don't know... i like any kind of music. But, I've ever go to one of the concert. international concert in Surabaya... Secondhand Serenade....jarang-jarang ada konser beginian di Surabaya bok... jadi capcus deh langsung beli tiket walopun harga mahal...bisa bisa sekali seumur hidup...haha

Trus..kalo artis indonesia...pernah nonton UNGU di BACKSTAGE...ALhamdulillah punya ibu seorang dokter yang bisa masukin ambulance ke dalam tempat konser...hahahaha Trus... COKLAT, J-ROCK, dan DREW... ini sih karena acara pensi sekolah SMA dulu... tapi lumayan lah... emang suaranya rocker abis... ^o^

STAYING IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP

I've never done this... If I had a relationship dan menurutku relationship itu membuatku sedih...sakit...dan segala tetek bengek dunia permewekan lainnya...I will go out from there!

Secara ya... dunia itu indah.... cowok ga patut ditangisin. Apalagi masih pacar. 

Kecuali... kalo suami...harus patut dipertahankan... dan supaya menghindari bad relationship dalam hubungan pernikahan ya ada trik khususnya...jadilah wanita baik-baik...insyaAllah dapat suami baik-baik pula dan diridhai Allah... ^o^

FAILING TO MAKE PHYSICAL FITNESS A PRIORITY

Sebenere jujur aku rada ga paham maksudnya fitness disini apa... kesehatan kah? diet? wah kalo ini... bisa dikatakan susaaahh... namanya uga orang suka makan ya...--" tapi bisa dicoba lah...hahaha

NOT QUITTING A TERRIBLE JOB

Dikarenakan aku pernah kerja secara formal di satu tempat...itupun juga keluar karena mau sekolah lagi...bisa dibilang statement ini ada benernya. Aku keluar ga cuma karena mau sekolah...tapi yaa gimana yaa... agak susah sih kerja di situ. Bosnya sih baik. Tapi kebijakan perusahaan yang ga baik. Mobile programmer satu-satu nya di kantor bikin kerjaan ku gila-gila an padahal baru masuk...gaji juga ga bisa dibilang pantas. Alhamdulillah aku bisa keluar dari sana dengan alasan sekolah dan juga didikung sama manager...bayangin aja didukung keluar loh sama manager...hahaha

AFRAID TO SAY I LOVE YOU

Maybe at first...namanya juga cewek...ada masanya mikir dulu sebelum bilang i love you...but, i'm not afraid to say I Love You to some people who I truly love from the deepest of my heart... My Mom...My Dad...My Family...and My boyfriend... :">

CARING TOO MUCH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

Ini adalah aku beberapa bulan yang lalu... tapi sekarang, nggak. Karena udah muak mikirin apa yang dipikirin orang lain...akhirnya aku berkata "I DON'T CARE" dan aku adalah aku... aku berjalan sesuai apa yang aku percaya baik untukku dan baik untuk lingkunganku... lagian orang lain hanya bisa ngomong koq. Anjing menggonggng khafilah pun berlalu... ya ga?

NOT VOLUNTEERING ENOUGH

I think... I already join many kind of voluntary activities... I'm very grateful I did that... can change myself personally and also my friends there... :) If I had the chance, i will always do the voluntary activities

NEGLECTING YOUR TEETH

Since I was in elementary school...aku udah dipakein kawat gigi...sakiiiittt banget. Tapi aku bersyukur. Sekarang udah ga bermasalah sama gigi. Dan dokter yang merawatku sejak aku SD sampe sekarang juga sama dan aku selalu kesana tiap 6 bulan sekali. Kecuali pas di Taiwan ini...aku kesana kalo pas lagi pulang doank sih...hehe

NOT LEARNING HOW TO COOK ONE AWESOME MEAL

So....it's hard to say but yes I can't cook...hahaha But I've ever learn... I always learn...and I always promise to myself that I will learn to cook something delicious for my family when I go home... ^o^

NEVER PERFORM IN FRONT OF PUBLIC

I did performs a LOT... Waktu SMA aku ikut teater...bayangin aja tampil di depan ratusan orang dan yang ditampilin juga abstrak...awalnya sih malu. Tapi lama-lama itu membangun keberanian dalam diriku sendiri supaya bisa "FACE PEOPLE"...Trus karena ikut berbagai macam organisasi, mau ga mau ya harus tampil di depan umum...perform ataupun speech... dan Alhamdulillah ada sesuatu di baliknya... bukan karena pengen jadi artis...hahaha

NOT STOPPING ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE THE MOMENT

Appreciate the moment... yeah many kind of moment... and I do appreciate those moments with my scrapbook...my diary...my schedule book...my thinking in this blog...

Subhanallah I can see many beautiful things in this world...not just nature but also friendship..

Notes For Jeremy Part 5 : My Best Friend

Next thing I want to share about something in my Notes for Jeremy is...my best friend. Her name was Resviani Soraya or called Vivin...
Maybe...some of you notice...why i used "was"? why not "is"?
Because she's not in this world already....

She was my best friend since we were in elementary school...She was beautiful and small...like me. hehe Her hair was curly brown and when she smiled, she had dimple in her cheek, so sweet. She like to laugh and told me many comedical stories. We always went to school together every morning used our bike.

When we were in junior high school, she moved to Medan, another city in Sumatra island. So far away from Gresik..our city. When I was in high school...that disaster happened.

I told by my friend who i didn't know that he knew about Vivin... He told me in our class..

Him : "Tan...you know Vivin, right?"
Me  : "Vivin...who?" (at that time...i didn't know Vivin he mentioned was my Vivin)
Him : "Resviani Soraya...."
Me  : "Ohh yes...i know... why? She is my best friend by the way"
Him : "mmm...she died"
Me  : "....... ha ha ha don't be kidding!! not funny at all..."
Him : "but i'm not kidding...my parents called me and said that..."
Me  : (start to cry)

Then I ran to my friend's class...she was vivin's neighbor before... and i asked her about this... and she said...it's true...

My heart aching... so much.

I want to know what happened...but after I asked several people, they said different things... some people said she had a car crash... some others said she had a heart attack... but some said she suicide...

I don't know what exactly happened but the truth is...I lost her...forever....

Descriptive Statistics SPSS

Ketika melakukan analisis sebuah data yang biasanya adalah data hasil survey (di bidang ku), hal pertama yang perlu dilakukan adalah melakukan perhitungan statistik yang merangkum Mean, Standard Deviation, Skewness, dan Kurtosis.

Skewness dan Kurtosis dilakukan untuk mengetahui apakah data yang didapatkan terdistribusi secara normal dan adil atau istilahnya adalah fairly normal distributed. Standar nya adalah kurang dari 2.3.

Ada banyak software yang bisa digunakan untuk mendapatkan descriptive statistic...salah satu nya adalah SPSS. Di sini aku akan menjabarkan bagaimana cara melakukannya.

1. Buka data yang sudah dimiliki

2. Klik Analyze - Descriptive Statistics - Descriptives ...

3. Masukkan variabel yang akan di tes ke dalam kolom kanan.

4. Klik Options... lalu pilih apa saja yang ingin diketahui dari data...untuk tutorial ini contohnya adalah Mean, Standard Deviation, Kurtosis, dan Skewness...Lalu klik Continue...

5. Tidak perlu dilakukan Bootstrap jika hanya ingin data standar...Lalu Klik OK

6. Akan muncul Output window seperti gambar di bawah yang menjelaskan tentang descriptive statistics variable yang dianalisis...

Seperti yang tertera pada output window, skewness dan kurtosis data ada di bawah nilai 2.3 yang mengindikan bahwa data hasil survey fairly normal distributed atau distribusi nya normal dan adil sehingga bisa dilakukan analisis lanjutan...

Semoga bermanfaat...jika ada pertanyaan... please ask me anytime and I am happy to help you ^o^

Contoh Surat Rekomendasi or Letter of Recommendation

Biasanya yang nyari tentang contoh surat rekomendasi adalah yang mau kuliah S2 / S3... karena emang ga bisa dipungkiri sebagian besar universitas memiliki persyaratan pendaftaransurat rekomendasi oleh dosen atau siapapun mengenai diri pelamar.

Okay...so, pertanyaan pertama... "Siapa yang perlu aku mintain surat rekomendasi ya?"
Jawabannya...
Dosen yang paling dekat dengan kita saat di bangku kuliah S1 (untuk yang mau S2) atau S2 (untuk yang mau S3)... kenapa? karena mereka yang paling mengerti tentang akademis kita sejak awal kita menginjak kampus itu...dan dia bisa memberikan kalimat yang bagus untuk sura rekomendasi kita.
Professor di jurusan adalah seorang yang bagus untuk dimintain...karena biasanya kampus tujuan akan mencari nama pemberi rekomendasi atau bahkan mengontak mereka. Semakin tinggi jabatannya atau semakin banyak research yang menghasilkan paper, kemungkinan diterima akan tinggi.

Pertanyaan kedua... "Isinya seperti apa?"
Setelah aku googling dan searching (sama aja ya? :p) ada beberapa hal yang bisa dijadikan patokan...Biasanya kalo kita minta ke seseorang, dia akan menjawab "kamu bikin draft nya ya...nanti saya edit". Nah ini nih yang repot...apa yang mau kita tulis? -.-" dan jawabannya adalah.... BE PROUD OF YOURSELF a.k. Narsis dipersilahkan... hahaha
Surat rekomendasi itu pastinya merekomendasikan kita buat masuk k erguruan tinggi tertentu...dan supaya diterima, isinya yang baik-baik doank donk... nah baik-baik ini yang kayak gimana? Silahkan nge-bluff tapi ga boleh bohong!!
Contoh : Intan adalah seorang mahasiswa yang pandai dan mengikuti berbagai organisasi. Dia juga pernah meraih juara A dan B. Dia juga aktif di Lab C dimana saya menjadi koordinator.
Itu kenyataan...dilarang bohong!! kalau bohong trus dikonfirmasi ternyata salah...Anda sendiri yang salah.hohoho

Pertanyaan ketiga... "contohnya ada ga?"
Ada donk... silahkan dicek... ^o^

To Whom It May Concern

I am proud to recommend a good student, Lala De Lopez, for PhD program in Department of Cooking Ohlala University.  I was asked to write as one who has functioned in capacity of Dean of Cafetaria Engineering Ohlala University, but I would first like to say a few words about her as a student.

lala is an extraordinary young woman.  I know her since 1990 when she was born. I have seen many examples of her talent and have long been impressed by her diligence and work ethic.
