Yang muda, yang sibuk?

Setelah sekian lama lulus dari kampus UI tercinta, kemarin akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk kembali mengunjungi kampus tersebut. Well, kampusnya sekarang canggih banget cyiiiiinn. Dari tempat fotokopian jadi banyak, pakai AC dan ga uwel-uwelan sampai banyakanya cafe / kantin ber-AC untuk para mahasiswa gaol/malas kuliah buat nongkrong hahahahaha

Melihat canda tawa anak-anak mahasiswa yang begitu carefree ko rasaya ada rasa iri yah dihati ini? hhahahha. Bukan berarti sekarang saya juga engga ketawa-ketawa, tapi lebih pake tanggung jawab aja. Kenapa? because I have grown up. 

Pertambahan usia buat saya berarti dengan pertambahan peran yang kemudian sama dengan pertambahan tanggung jawab, misalnya kalo dulu peran saya hanya sebagai anak, adik dan mahasiswa dan pacar, sekarang peran saya tukar tambah berganti dan bertambah dari mahasiswa menjadi pekerja. Nah secara sekarang saya bekerja sudah bukan di kantor lagi atau bisa dikatakan freelancing, saya harus mempertanggung jawabkan perilaku saya kepada orang-orang yang berkaitan dengan project saya. And sometimes it's not easy.HUFT. 

Pertambahan tanggung jawab juga kadang membuat saya kelimpungan dengan segala kesibukan saya yang sampai-sampai hampir ga ada waktu untuk urusan yang tidak berkaitan langsung dengan project-project yang lagi saya handle, misalnya update informasi tentang situasi Indonesia (selamat pak Jokowi! semoga kabinet ini bisa membuat Indonesia menjadi lebih baik lagi!), nonton infotainment (selamat om raffi! semoga langgeng-langgeng yah marriednya, inget biayanya mahal banget cyiiiinnn) dan juga banking activity (buka account baru? aduh males deh pergi ke bank bok!)

NAMUN!

Saya baru tahu kalau ternyata CIMB Niaga tuh sudah bisa membantu saya meng-overcome masalah tersebut. Selasa minggu lalu (21 October) saya datang ke acaranya CIMB Niaga ON Account, ketemu dengan kembaran saya Raline Shah yang ternyata memiliki tingkat kesibukan yang sama dengan saya ciyeh gue sibuknya kayak artes. 

Anw,mini talkshownya tuh diadain di Digital Lounge-nya CIMB Niaga di Central Park Mall sektiar pukul 13.30 - 15.00, aih gila itu beyond imagination banget lho tempatnya,dari fitur biasa atm tunai, setor tunai sampe sophisticated feature kayak tempat buat video banking gitu! Kalo menurut saya sih, CIMB emang salah satu bank yang cool yang selalu bisa catch-up dengan kebutuhan manusia, khususnya anak muda hits kayak saya. 

Kenapa saya bilang demikian? 

Karena sekarang CIMB Niaga udah punya satu product baru namanya ON Account, itu mudah banget, kalao mau buka tinggal isi aja e-form yang ada di www.cimbcliks.co.id terus udah gitu saldo awalnya cuma Rp.100,000,- cui! cucok banget buat saya ketika lagi sepi project LOL. Nah selain itu, kemudahan lainnya tuh kalo kita jalan-jalan ke luar negri, CIMB Niaga bisa memberikan nilai tukar terbaik lho! terus banyak promo-promonya lagi hihihihihi

Pokoke ini product mantap deh! 

I'm sooooo lucky to join that mini talkshow! Saya juga datang bersama salah satu the newest allience Barbara! and you know what? what other thing that we found as interesting as the product? the macaron! Men, itu enak banget lho LOL. 

Yaudslah, tunggu apa lagi, diriku saja sudah daftar, bagaimana dengan kamuh?

Cheers,

My Super Mom

If England has Margaret thatcher to rule the country, my family has my mom to rule the house.

Her wish is our command and no bodies dare to defy her words. She has a golden rule which already understood by each house members (My Father, my Sister, my Brother and even my new dog). So what is her great rule?  Rule number 1: “Mom is always right”, rule number 2: “If Mom makes mistakes look at rule number one”.  She made that rule basing on the assumption that she’s the best on knowing what the best for her family is. At first I thought it’s just an excuse for her to make it her way. But then, as time goes by I realized that “yes, she is the best at least on 3 things"  

First, best to be effective, one day, on Sunday morning, I was just laying back on the couch in front of television, holding my head with my right hand, raising up my left feet and enjoying the easy Sunday. Suddenly my mom came to me “Raisa, what are you doing? Being lazy?” “No mam, I’m not lazy, I had been mopping the floor, washing the plate and cleaning up the table. I deserved to watch Shincan after everything I’ve done today. i have waited for a week mom!” “I don’t say that you cant watch the show, but you need to optimize your time. Rather than just watching the show and doing nothing, why don’t you watching and do ironing. Not only It will increase your merit as you are helping me, but also it will burn your fat” Yes, she always knows the best way to be effective, enjoying the show and burning some fat (although I ended up having back pain for ironing 4 batch of clothesline but hey I had burned some fat! At least I thought i had burn it.

Second, best on finding the right price, when we went to Bangkok, she wanted to buy a big suitcase which was offered on 1,600 bath by the madam seller. Of course her motherhood instinct turn on, she was trying to bargain and offered 600 bath instead. I thought she wouldn’t succeed, because come on her English is not that good. After a tough discussion (which was including me to do the translation and a much of using the body language) she managed to get the suitcase for 700 bath. Jeezzz, she was Bill Gates on bargaining. Even the madam seller agreed with me. “Your mom is great, she is expert! I’ve never met a customer like her! You must be proud of her”.

Third, best on being creative, like I had mentioned before, her English is not really good. So when she had to travel alone from Frankfurt to Indonesia after visited my sister there, I was worried how she would survive. But then she showed me that language barrier wouldn’t stop her for getting what she wants: to be seated near the window and not to be charged for the overweight baggage. On checking in desk “Excuse me sir, I want to seat near the window because I want to “ngolonjor” do you know ngolonjor?” “…” “Look, this is foot , do you understand?” “yes” “this foot is hurt, so I want to ngolonjor. This is ngolonjor, do you understand? Near the window, to ngolonjor I want to ngolonjor” “okay”. Then she put her baggage on the. But suddenly, her luggage were moving as the machine was on “oh noo..stoopp” hearing her hysterical voice, one passenger came to her “may I help you mam?” “my bag is red, I want to nimbang. You know nimbang? My bag is red, I just want to know, my bag is red, put it here, and then nimbang”  but she realized quickly maybe the confused officer just wanted to end the confusing conversation with her by putting in her luggage into the trunk without caring the weight  “Aha, nothing, so far so good, no problem, thank you”

Ladies and Gentlemen, my mom with all of her goodwill and limitation always tried to be best on being effective, finding the best price or being creative to strive. Because of that I hope someday I could have those qualities and i could be a super mom like her!

Happy birthday Mom *thousand kisses for you*
