YESTERDAY

Yesterday was my trial day in new division. I learned how to make synopsis with Mas Fatah. He showed me so many proposals and synopsis that he made. Firstly, he introduced me with marketing tools. He told me that if we launched new program to prospective clients, we had to prepare marketing tools e.g. packages, proposals, synopsis. A synopsis could make to follow up producer idea, or we made it by ourselves. In last 30 minutes, he challenged me to make a synopsis from "Visit Indonesia Year 2008" proposal. GOSH.........I needed 30 minutes to make it. It was not easy as I thought before. I love to write and the media forced me to write in brief and shortly.

Well, I finally finished my 1st challenge. And when I showed to him, he erased some sentences that I thought it was my best words. I was just sightseeing. Dissapointed?!? mmmhhh, little bit. But I tried to manage my heart. Eventhough I have many track records in writing. But a synopsis in marketing tools seemed different to novel, articles, short stories or script for performance. It was definitely different. Or may be me and Mas Fatah have different views. FYI, his age is almost twice than me. Hem...........I'm so much cheerful with my youth, and he is so much wiseful with his age. DAMN.................I guessed my 1st month in new division will be my hardest time. I really will miss my time with Wahyu & Mas Murti. Hahahha...........we'll be only separated by door.

Yesterday, I went home with Gita and Wahyu. Few weeks behind, I have good relationship with Gita. I realized Gita is a good girl. I like her views. Gita usually went home with me when she had college schedule. She is still study for her bachelor degree at Budi Luhur. We usually took public transport, but sometimes Wahyu dropped us.

Yesterday, we decided to take some foods on the street. We preferred to buy MARTABAK TELOR. After we finished a portion of MARTABAK TELOR. Gita decided to buy MARTABAK MANIS with KEJU (=cheese). GOSH, and all finished. We didnt just eat, but talked much thing. We were so chatty. We talked about job, gossips, and strange case.

The most popular issues was a strange girl. Before I was here. I met that girl twice accidentally in somewhere. But then I met for 3 times after I work in here. On the 3rd meeting, when Wahyu was with me. Wahyu had feeling with her. Thats why I like to teasing her, "Hey you got salam from Wahyu". Just to make her blushing.

Then in one late of night, She called me. In a brief she asked me to lend money. It was big amount Rp 1.000.000,-. When I asked what for? She just answered to pay her brother/sister school fee. And she also suggested me if I have no cash, may be I could give her credit card. She would buy by my credit card and sell them to get money. I just realized when morning came. Why me??? I just met her for three times. and the reason was not good reason. If she really wanted to pay school fee, why she didnt tell me or somebody else at least a week before. And I decided not to give her. I told Wahyu regard this.

I was getting suspicious that she was a member of sects that obligated to get money as monthly charity. When I told her that I couldnt give her. She asked me to ask Wahyu about this. WHAT??? Why Wahyu? Or she thought that Wahyu really in love with her? It really broke our mind. We thought, she is one of the sect member such as NII.

In Monday she again told me. But she reduced the amount. Mmmhhh......suspicious. Then we never told about that anymore. We just ignore, and I hope our relationship will be good. Then............after 2 weeks, she again sms-ed Wahyu. She invited Wahyu to accompany her for wedding or just window shopping at bookstore.

When Wahyu told me about that, I shocked. Then Wahyu said, "Can I go with your friend? I will follow what she want, but I need win-win solution for that. She got what she wanted and I have to get what I want."

"WALLAHI, Wahyu! Dont do that! Please dont try to do that. I will never consider you as my friend anymore. She is my friend, and I dont want she hurt. or something bad happens to her".

"But she doesnt have any value anymore in my eyes. Whay should i respect a girl who offered herself to strange guy. What compensation? money? eventhough she didnt need money but she has behaved agressively to a strange guy. Does she know, it was extremely bad".

"DONT!", I almost cried.

"Ok..........I will not. But if she forced me. I'll do. Remember that!", Wahyu.

Well, girls.....................whoever you. You have to keep yourself value! Just behave as a girl behave. A guy doesnt really like if you attack them agressively.

SMART NOT EQUAL TO SUCCESS

Yesterday I got phone call from my schoolmate when I was in elementary and Junior high school. Her name is Yunita Umniyati. She got scholarship from Rusian Government to take master of Atomic Science. He took her degree in University of Indonesia for physics science. Woww.....! She loves to be scientist.

When I got news from her two years ago about her planning to get master in Rusia. I just said wow!!! Incredible. Well, since I was in elementary. I was always better than her. I told her for many times, well you are so lucky. Smart will not guarantee you get the scholarship. The most important is WILLPOWER. And my friend has more WILLPOWER to get scholarship than me. I dont mean to claim that I'm smart. Its just an ilustration.

But, I'm sure oneday I'll get my scholarship in abroad. Insha Allah.....

Actually, I was little bit dissapointed with my parent. Few years ago when I graduated from high school I got chance to take Monbusho (Scholarship in Japan) due to my performance in high school. But seemed by parent didnt really permit me to go. Thats why I failed in last test. The reason was just because I'm the only daughter that my parent has.

Hem..........and now my hubby is a foreigner (Insha Allah). The consequences, I have to follow wherever that my hubby wants to go.

Sorry David.........!

David was one of my clients. Well, actually I was trapped on the deal that made by Programming & him. David wanted to make movie "Chassing Waves" which dedicated to Metro TV free of charge, but he will also offer to another TV station. The story tells about a Balinese who's getting popular in the world by his expertise. He is world champion in Surfing. The story narrates his background in Indonesia. As the compensation, David will get our footage free of charge.

The footage which he requested was Bali Bomb Blaster and mad demonstration. I had picked some footages but unfortunately when he came for previewing on Friday 26 January 2008. The 2 tapes were unavailaible. He hoped that he would get the tape on Monday 18 January 2008,before he flew to England in MiniDV.

I told him for many times, "well you made deal with programming so the decision maker would be programming not marketing. As the flowchart, all requested footage from marketing should get income". I also told the programming.

And I also told David that I will try my best when I get the tapes.

But then the deal has been approved by programming. I just gave them the list of tapes. Internal Memo has been delivered to library. But ........

Yeah, the tapes were still unavailable. Someone from newsmage division hasnt returned it yet since 15 January 2008. GOSH.......!

Well, I guess I made him dissapointed. Sorry David.........

Its time to move on

31st January 2008, will be my last day handling client. February I will move on to other section still in the same division. I will make synopsis, proposal and etc. In short, my writing talent will be more useful there than in here. I dont say, I hate my recent job. Well, I love to meet clients from differences background. So many stories there.

I didnt only sell the footages/programs but had emotional relationship with them. About Yasuko Sakao, a Japanese who's NHK agent in Indonesia. Yasuko is a Japanese who loves Indonesia. She has lived in Indonesia for more than 10 years. She took 'Balinese Culture' as her dissertation. She flew to Bali to conduct research. She was not only conducting research to get good mark. But she has fallen in love with Indonesia. She could dance Balinese nicely. Even she understand bali language, beside bahasa. Then finally she met with Kazuo Pontoh, an Indonsian who heredites Japanese blod from his daddy. They fell in love on each other and married. Now they have a 9 years old son who studies in Japanese School- Bintaro (Jakarta, Indonesia).

Yasuko is a nice person. Wel, I learned much from her. I could practice my Japanese language. Not only me who loves Yasuko. Our librarian also loves him, coz she loved to bring some cookies for us. Hehhehe..............Even on new year she gave me some gifts from Japan. It was not expensive but worthy for me. She appreciated my efforts to learn Japanese. Guess what?!?

About Lee which I had told in another article. About 2 Japanese from Asahi TV that made me laughing unstopable. They loved to narrate scenes when we were previewing footages. For example a cat, they would narrate "Hey I'm on TV. I'm a cat superstar".

About a girl from France, who said my office room is cooldest place. It was just like a winter in France. And many people that annoyed me and made me happy.

About a man who represented Production House in UK who inspired me alot to get my dream to continue my school in Japan. Well, he was one of angel that Allah sent to me. I need a reminder, I guess.

Here I have lovely partners. Mas MURTI, the kindest person in the world. A man who never angry with anybody. He always smiles to people. He could make people laughed without himself laughed.

WAHYU, wow........I spend many times with him. Well, he is almost similar to me. Both of them are best partner. EVen if I narrated some stories they could continue next sentences to make very nice scenes of drama. for example:

Mas Murti : Well, I heard someone called me. Did you? (He asked me when nobody was there except me and I didnt tell anything).

Me : (I looked back) Hey did you call him? Wait ya....Mas Murty busy. (serious looked at to nothing, imagined it was a ghost).

Mas Murti : (looked back) Sorry, wait I will talk to you later (also looked at to nothing 'ghost')

We both were laughing.

When Wahyu checked Air Asia schedule for flying to Bangkok on 19th March.

Me : How could you leave me on my birthday, even you know better that I will marry not far from that? (I acted almost crying).

Wahyu : Could you understand? I could see you happy with somebody else. Thats why I prefer to go away from you forever. (Cried)

We both were laughing

Ah I dont know what will happen later...............I'll miss my time here. With Mas Murti and Wahyu. We'll miss the time when CK was getting angry (I guessed hehehe.....) when we didnt tell her any progress report. Or........when I begged to Mas Murti to handle claim phone from Medan regarding ASAHI TV.

Anyway I love the time. Thank you pals.......You are best...........Lets move on to get SUCCESS!!!

METRO TV SAVED ME FROM ROBBERY

On Monday 21st January 2008, When I was on my way to home. I was in public transport (=Angkot D18 Jurusan Ciledug-Ciputat). I was sitting on the back with another girl. Two women were sitting besides the driver. I was behind the driver, and another girl was sitting accrossed me in another bench.

When Maghrib came, I was busy with my snacks & drink because I had to break my fasting. Suddenly 5 guys came inside. One sat in front of me, 2 sat on my left side, 2 others sat beside the girl (right & left). A guy beside me wore office dress. When the 2nd guy on my left tried to trick the girl by massaged her. The guy in the corner in action, and the guy who was on left the girl tried to hiding their action from me (coz I was the only witness there) by his big backpack.

I saw clearly what had happened but I just kept silent and enjoyed my snacks & drink. I was too hungry to act. And I knew that they brought weapon. So I prefer to be loyal viewer. But then a guy beside me felt bad with me. He asked me something, I couldnt hear coz I wore earphone. But I knew what he said by looked at his lipsync. He asked, "What time is it?"

Well, it was stupid question. I knew He wore wristwatch, why should He asked me that. He tried to hypnotize me also. I didnt see his eyes. I kept watching their action. When I thought, I had to act. Ok.........I finished my foods and showed badge Metro TV on my shirt. Yeah that time, I wore Metro TV uniform. And................I couldnt imagine how it shocked them alot. I could see from their face.

A guy screamed to stop the public transport. And one by one stepped down. The last guy with big back pack tried to normally behave. But finally He gave up with my smiley face. He also stepped down. When the public transport cleared.

I asked the girl, "Hey, that 5 guys are thieves. Please check your handbag. I'm sure they just tricked you. Did you realized the a guy in front of you hynotized by massagin?". I was so exiting in explaining. It also made the driver and women listened us.

The girl panicked when saw her bag had been opened by someone. She checked all the things. She smiled, "No worries, I didnt bring wallet today and my mobile still here". She showed her mobile phone.

I just took a deep breath. ALHAMDULILLAH. Well...............I just realized how METRO TV saved me from terrible robbery. Hehhehehe

I'M SORRY INDONESIA

May be these few days, we faced terribly increasing soy bean price in Indonesian market. The price increased from IDR 500,000 / 100kgs to IDR 730,000/100kgs. It means the price increased 46 %. It really shocked Tempe and Tahu industry in Indonesia. Tempe and tahu are traditional food from Indonesia with high protein. For long time it became favourite Indonesian food especially to people with low income in village. But then the increasing soy bean price as raw material made Tempe/tahu industry should increased their price if they didnt want to bancrupt. But some of industry preferred to stop th eproduction for a while, at least until the soy bean price become stabile as before.

The increasing of soy bean price it was caused of exporter country changed their soy bean to corn. Why? because corn is also can be used for bio fuel. And world needs bio fuel to maintain their fuel suply. As we know that world oil price also increase, perhaps the resource is almost finish. Thats why People need alternative fuel.

Indonesia importing soil bean from US and other country. Actually its an irony. When Indonesia claims itself as agrarian country, but why Indonesia cant solve this simple problem. Why dont we plant soy bean in our fertile land??? It become big guestion mark in our mind.

Well, i think the one reason from many reasons. I have taken part in that irony. Guys and gals! Let me introduce myself. My name is Risma. I graduated from the best agricultural university in Indonesia even in ASEAN. Who doesnt know with IPB (INSTITUT PERTANIAN BOGOR) or BOGOR AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY? The icon of Bogor City. Well, if you dont know that, please check it up on Internet!!!

Since 1965, IPB have been graduating thousands or might be millions the best agricultural scholars. But why agriculture in Indonesia havent met any extravaganza progress. Where were the IPB-alumni???

IPB alumni now is working on TV station, bank, magazines, shipping company, retail, school etc. But only small of them who worked in Agriculture. Why?

I'm a bachelour of Agriculture. But I've never applied my knowledge to improve Agriculture in Indonesia. When I was a student of IPB, I spent a year in bilingual preschool. After graduated, I spent 2 years in a shipping company. Then now, I'm working on a TV station. I also a writer of a novel, articles, even I also a scriptwriter of an opera. I had business that already bancrupt. A lot of experiences but none of them in Agriculture.

When people laughed at me. I just said, " I have no idea to work in agriculture field. Even I have shortage information about agribusiness company. When I tried to apply there, I'd never gotton answer. May be they rejected me from the first. I dont know why?".

It made me shy to claim that I'm a Bachelor of Agriculture from IPB, when I got interview session. I know the next question?

" How come you get here?" I just smiled up.

Oh my GOD, I felt guilty to Indonesia. I'm sorry Indonesia.I supposed to be leading of change in Agricultural. If me and other alumnis commited to use their knowledge to improve Indonesian Agriculture. We dont need to depend on exporter countries for our rice, sugar, soyben, durian, etc.

Well, oneday when I have a lot of money. I will buy agriculture field that was already built villa, town-houses, or real etate and bringing back to 1st function as field. I'll be the owner of biggest Agribusiness Company in Indonesia even in the world. I'll bring our victory back to Agrarian Country. We'll have economic based on Agriculture. We'll open large of work field in every single of land in Indonesia, modern or traditional Agriculture. Or if we need, I can buy MONSANTO share to improve our Agriculture. Indonesia GO AGRICULTURE will be our motto. We'll be exporter country of many agricultural products. We'll be RICH country. IPB will be one of destination university to study agriculture. Even Harvard should learn from Agribusiness IPB. And...............

Please VOTE RISMA as your president in 2009!!!!
