Batch-A-nniversary

Gak berasa satu tahun sudah terlewati. Terhitung mulai tanggal sejak tanggal 9 Januari 2013, gue dan beberapa temen gue yang batch A sudah menjalani kehidupan kantor tepat setahun. Maka dari itu, di tanggal 9 Januari 2014 kemaren kita foto-foto, makan-makan dan main-main sebagai perayaan satu tahun kita.

Seharusnya sih yang satu tahunan itu dari semua divisi ya. Gak cuma piping, tapi structure sama E and I juga. Tapi berhubung kayaknya kebanyakan kalo foto rame-rame semua divisi. Dan juga kita gak tau kesibukan semua anak-anak di batch A yang beda divisi, jadinya kita cuma merayakannya sama anak piping doang. Sepertinya sih divisi lain juga punya acara tersendiri. Ini lah beberapa foto serunya pas di kantor dan pas makan-makan di Glosis.

Happy New Year 2014

Malam tahun baru pastinya orang-orang pada sibuk nyari acara kumpul-kumpul. Mau itu sama keluarganya, temennya, pacarnya, pokoknya harus ada acara aja. Harus kumpul. Trus main bakar-bakaran atau main kembang api, trus dimasukin Path deh biar nge-hitz.

Gue pribadi menutup tahun 2013 ini dengan menyenangkan pastinya. Karena gue sangat autis saat itu. Ya autis. Hanya kita bertiga. Eh berempat deh. Gue, tripod, kamera, dan firework. Hahahaha Malam tahun baru kemaren, gue dan beberapa anak Young On Top pada ke rumah Sasha untuk ngerayain acara tahun baruan. Tempatnya sih agak jauh. Eh lumayan jauh, apa super jauh ya? Pokoknya jauh deh. Di kelapa gading ujung lagi. Tapi makanannya enak banget. Ada sate kambing yang gak sekeras kambing biasanya. Empuk banget. Ada sate ayam. Ada cumi yang segede-gede alaihim sama ada juga ikan apalah namanya yang gue gak tau. Yang jelas makanannya enak-enak.

Ketika sudah mendekati jam 12 malem dan mata gue sudah mulai ngantuk. Temen-temen gue yang lainnya masih pada bersemangat untuk cerita horror. Sedangkan gue? Nyawa gue udah setengah-setengah. Padahal itu mau tahun baruan loh. Melihat beberapa keluarga sasha yang udah main petasan dan di luar juga udah ada petasan padahal belom jam 12 malem. Ya gue langsung memasang peralatan tempur yaitu kamera dan tripodnya.

Ketika lagi pada seru cerita horror

Gue sebegitu autisnya ketika ngeliat kembang api. Langsung gue keker dan jepret-jepretin. Beberapa anak-anak yang minta difotoin pas lagi pada megang kembang api, tapi gue tetep autis di belakang viewfinder kamera. Karena emang target gue tahun baruan ini harus dapet banyak fireworks yang bagus. Alhamdulillah rumahnya Sasha memfasilitasi banyak fireworks. Jadinya gue bisa ngejepret-jepret banyak deh. Walaupun sebenernya bentuk fireworksnya gak ada yang outstanding macem di website-website luar negeri dan pada jauh-jauh semua lokasinya, ya walhasil gue dapet beberapa foto yang yaaaa lumayan lah ya daripada lumanyun (jokes yang udah basi).

And here we go. I got some fireworks pictures that I print out as a postcard and send it to friends. Actually my office mates and YOT Alumni. I hope i can print out the postcard regularly once a month by my photograph as a cover. So I can share what I love and what I did to my colleague.

So, here we go. Some of my 1st postcard new year edition.

DSME End Year Party

Ya, kantor gue ngadain end year party ala-ala pas tanggal 31 Desember kemaren. Acaranya di hotel Gran Melia. Hotel samping kantor. Acaranya itu semacam ada presentasi dari bos bos besar terhadap apa yang udah kita achieve di tahun 2013 dan proyek apa yang akan kita jalankan di tahun 2014. Abis itu ada juga video competition dan award-award-an gitu. Macam the most leadership, best dress, most sociable, dll.

Gue dan beberapa temen gue anak Piping kan nge-submit videonya. Kalo lo pernah baca postingan gue yang ini pasti lo tau kalo gue lagi mau submit video untuk kompetisi akhir tahun ini. Sebelomnya gue dan beberapa crew langsung ngebayangin. "Eh eh nanti kita maju ke atas panggung trus ala-ala FFI gitu. Makasih buat Mama dan Papa yang lagi dirumah *sambil terharu*" hahaha ala-ala banget yah. Pokoknya imajinasi udah liar banget, udah mikir yang enggak-enggak. Kayak, wuih wuih nanti dipanggilin nih "Aktor pendatang baru end year competition DECI diberikan kepada......jeng jeng jeng jeng...... bismillahirrohmanirrohim..... satu dua tiga...... Arifal Dianes Febri dalam Film Share Your Passion produksi DSME Pictures" atau apalah itu hahaha

Film pendek yang disubmit diputer abis break time. Jadi diputerin deh tuh 3 film. Pertama film yang gue sama Dani bikin judulnya A Journey yang berceritakan tentang perjalanan kita ke krakatau. Kedua film buatan anak steel outfitting yang berjudul Celoteh Anak DECI dan yang ketiga Share Your Passion. Film yang kita shooting dulu di kantor dengan artisnya si Arifal dan 6 figuran lainnya.

Ternyata yang jadi Juri itu si Pa Sumardi, Pa Rommy sama Pa Mumu juga kalo gak salah. Pokoknya para part leader deh. Dan ketika pengumuman, itu deg-deg-an loh karena ada backsound yang bikin deg-deg-an gitu waktu di umumin. Dan yang diumumin pertama itu yang juara dua. Ternyata juara duanya si Celoteh Anak DECI. Gue juga bingung kenapa mereka nyebutinnya juara 2 nya dulu. Dan abis itu baru deh dikasih tau juara ketiga dan juara pertamanya. Share Your Passion jadi juara ketiga dan A Journey jadi juara pertama. Yeaaaay!!! Akhirnya menang.

Abis itu gue maju deh ke depan. Gue sebagai perwakilan dari juara ketiga. Abis itu Hudi mewakilin juara kedua dan Dani yang ngewakilin juara pertama. Juara Kedua yang ngasih hadiahnya Mba Hana. Curang banget, trus Hudi dikasih cipika-cipiki deh. Aturan yang juara 3 juga dong hahahahaha.

A Journey. 1st Winner.

Share Your Passion. 3rd Winner.

Yang Celoteh Anak DECI gue gak nemu di youtube. Jadi gak bisa dimasukin ke postingan ini deh. Abis pengumuman Video Competition dan dilanjutin sama award. Mulai dari award yang kita vote sampe award  dari HR macem siapa yang datengnya paling pagi. Trus orang-orang yang bertalenta macem adit, syarif, dkk. Lumayan banyak sih award yang dibacain saat itu. Abis itu kita makan dengan makanan yang menurut gue enak sih. Gue makan sampe super kenyang hahaha. Bener-bener begah.

Setelah makan, masuk ke hall nya lagi dan president DSME Indonesia bacain pidatonya. Sebelom itu dia nanya "Who is the director of 1st winner? I think you shall change your job". Gue sih speechless. Bahkan gak tau harus seneng atau sedih. Entah itu pujian karena filmnya bagus banget, apa sindiran halus biar gue resign hahaha

Abis pidato kelar, kita dibagiin slip bonus dan abis itu foto-foto deh. Yey, alhamdulillah tahun 2013 sudah berjalan. Gak berasa udah hampir setahun di kantor ini. Semoga ditahun depan gue jadi pribadi yang lebih produktif dan berkompetensi. Amiiiiin :)

What Happened in 2013

Hah. 2013 has passed. Let's review what happened in this year. If i have to describe this one in one word, i will say "Foundation". I mean 2013 is the first year of my real world  after I graduated from university. And now, i want to write it down one by one.

* Work in PT. DSME Indonesia as Piping Engineer.

* Develop my own business. It called Lumos Production.

* I often go to the cinema for watching Indonesian Film and review it in Nizarland. I love that one. Enjoying Indonesian Film just by myself, since just few of people who love Indonesian Film. Go go Indonesian filmmaker!!! I watch your film.

* Join Balada Kopaja competition. It seems like amazing race that held by Abang None Jakpus. The story is here.

Ya, in 2013 I did less business than 2012 quantitatively. Maybe, since 2012 I still student, so i have more time to do anything. But, i am the professional worker nowadays who have to come to office at weekdays. So, ya I didn't do much things beside my job.

Anyway, the major of what happened in 2013 are my job as Piping Engineer and my business, Lumos Production. Can i write more story about both of them?

Review as Piping Engineer 

Hmmm....Piping Engineer. Actually, I didn't have expectation what will I do after graduation. Will am I as engineer? What kind of engineer? Do I have to work in remote area or something like that? After graduation, I just send my CV to some of company that my college mates share to me about the vacancy. And, coincidentally I accepted in PT. DSME Indonesia.

Until now, i still blessed to work in here. Maybe the first reason is as the first matter that people think about the job. That is salary. I think the salary is quite enough with my capability that still need much improvisation. Ya, I know that is not as much as the people who work in service company or owner of oil and gas or work in remote area. But, with all of the work environment, I think, i have to learn how to be blessed in this situation.

The second one is the facility. I mean like the building, the cubicle, the toilet. I feel in really professional Job. Some of my mates that see my photograph in office. They said, "it looks like in another country".

The third one is the location that really near from my house. I can wake up at 6.30 and go to the office at 7.15 and start working at 8.00 while some of my mates who live far from office have to wake up around 5 a.m. Ya, i think that one of matter that i have to be blessed.

The fourt is about my bosses. While some of people have boss who angry at you with louldy voice and doing it in public. But, my bosses are the nice one. They are nice and humble if I asked something and if I did wrong, they "angry", no, no, not angry, they just let me know but really strongly. So that, i know if i did some mistakes.

And last but not least are office mates. They are come from reputable university which has high intellegency. They are nice, fun and very youthful. That is the biggest reason that I feel dynamic in my work environment. It since my office mates.

Review Lumos Production 

For lumos production, as I remember I ever have a dream that someday i will develop my own production house. I imagine that this production house is the productive one that create movie, photography, etc. But, i never has a plan to build the production house in this year. It started from my cousin that asked me to took photograph of his and his classmates for year book. So, I ask my mate (Yudha) to join that photoshoot. Then one of my college mates ask me to took their prewedding photoshoot and it go on in several times.

Afterward, i discussed with Yudha and we decide to build Lumos Production. We don't have such as business plan and other thing like that. But for this 1st year we already have 12 projects. I think that was unexpected. Such as after I finished one project then friends of me or yudha ask me to capture their humemories. Ya, i really happy to build this business. I hope this production house will be the huge one. Amiiiin :)

YEAAAAY!!! If i review what i wrote in 2013. I wish that I can work as engineer while can have another sidejob/project/businesses. And it comes true. Thank god :)

Resolution for 2013 [Reviewed]

2013 would coming up. Time to write down Resolution for that year.

Have a great performance as Engineer in DSME

(Parameter: salary would increase or got promotion or in-charge in many projects)
(I think the best parameter is PMS 'Performance Management System' from HR. And it says that I am the good one. Not outstanding. I think, i still didn't chase this resolution. I have to improve it in next year to be the outstanding one)

Have a sidejob/projects/business

(It's beside engineering side. It's about my passion)
(Yeaaaah!!! I did it. I build my own business with Yudha. It called Lumos Production. It almost one year and I think we got many projects even for first year. Thank god)

Get involved in Film Production that more professional than last year.

(Example: Create film, tv show, tvc in television or created short movie or omnibus project to be screened in big theater, or involved to produce film with professional/famous filmmaker)
(I involved in Omnibus Project with some UI filmmakers. Even it still not shooting yet, but we have done for  pre-production. I hope in 2014 this project can be finished)

Active in arabic event

(Such as "pengajian" or about youth movement)
(I and some of FPGM committee held leadership training for the new batch. I think that's the good ine for regeneration)

Have a good financial planning

(Make a note for  income and expenditure every day. And can save much money for long term needed or investation)
(In 2013 i documented my financial detaily. I wish it run for all the time)

Doing sport regularly

(Fitness, swimming, futsal, jogging, skipping or whatever)
(I did futsal regularly, but it start from november or desember. I think, i still didn't chase it. I have to doing sport at lease once in two weeks for 2014)

Okay, i chased 4 of 6 my resolution. And 2 of failed resolution is not exactly failed, i mean i almost chase it, but still not chase the parameter. It's okay. Just improve in 2014. Thank you 2013. I love you.
