PFL BCA - Personal Adjustment & T Group

Many would ask where is the T-Group post? 

Why haven't I post it when I was already done with the in-class training? 

Haha. I was busy and I am having difficulties in writing this post. 

There are lots of things happen at once. The re-discovery, the confession, the group sharing (which needs a hell lotta trust), and lots of other things!

This is a part of our training program. We are required to join another self-development training. Unlike the Valuable Person Training, other programs like PSPO are also required to join this one. 

The training will be focusing on self-healing and self-discovery. 

It will give us the in-depth view of what personality we have (the 16 personalities) and the "T" in the "T Group" stands for "Therapy Group".

This time the training will be held at GMS HRD Consultant at Avia Hotel and Resort, Bogor on 12-13 November 2015.

This time, no other group was joining in. Its just the 20 of us.

At first, we were told to write some of our most scarred memories, favorite numbers, our hopeful achievements, and the 20 "I" statement. 

Then, we were taught about the 16 personalities in details. 

I honestly have tried the test myself on 16personalities.com

And this is what I got on the website: ENFP (T)

(Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Prospecting)

ENTP with Turbulent identity. I got the same result from the Psychologist. 


At first, she didn't believe that I am an 'N' as N type is very rare. I was ask to re-do the test and I got the same result. She was still in doubt. 
Not until after I tell her my stories that she was convinced that I am indeed an 'N' type personalities. 


ENFP is a marketer and a motivator.
I recently realize these talents of mine. 


The 'theraphy' part is also quite new and interesting. We were formed into group of 4 and we were assigned different psychologist. Then, we will talk about our self, our family, our journey.
You might have heard that there will be lot of tears, it is true.
You might think that your life is simple and smooth, or your friends (which always smile) might be so good as well. But that is not always the case. 

In the 20++ years of our life, we (of course) at some point in our life was hurt and sometimes that 'event or continuous same events' may have left a deep scar within us that may affects how we live our life.

This training is for us to open our self and to heal from previous wounds so that we can learn and be free from the unnecessary boundaries. 

For BCA, this is for them to know us better. Our potentials and shortcomings.

Do not worry about extra sensitive topics or your bitter past. 

I believe that the psychologists have their oath and patients' secrecy.

They will at the end of the therapy session give us some advice and read out our traits. 

Be the first to tell the stories!

This is your chance to get to know who you are and for BCA to get to know you.

Do not hide and do not conceal. Let your true self shine! 

What I get from this training?

• The website 16personalities.com is accurate for me but not for some of my friends. Not sure. It is whether they didn't understand the questions as it was in English or something else.

• I get to know for sure what personalities I am and what jobs will be suitable for me.

• I realized that behind every happy person, there are scars that they are trying to hide and that every single person in this world at some point of their lives has received 'scars' that they will hide for the rest of their life.

• I learn to be grateful.

• I learn to let go of problems and the past.

• I learn to know other types of personalities and how to deal with them.

• I get the reassurance of what I want to do in the future.

We also get certificate from this trainings!

Well, there is not much to write about and I am not taking any pictures. LOL.

PFL BCA - Lasy Day of In-Class Training and the Temporary FAREWELL

I am still feeling very overwhelmed by the feeling of being separated from the people that have been with me for the past 2 months. I cried and weep.

Already.
I am not even this sad when I am done with colleague.

I am never good dealing with farewell. I am not good with handling my sad emotions.
Knowing that I might never (hopefully not) meet some of these people that I have been with through a lot of things for 2 months and so.
We will and we must definitely meet again in 10 months and I hope our 'togetherness' will stay the same or even stronger with separation.

I found the winnie's wisdom words 

I am literary, truly, madly, deeply blessed.

I am so thankful for GOD for letting me to meet this 19 awesome people. 

I always believe that HE would filter all and only allow the best people to enter my life.

PFL CSO'14 + Pak Toper

Now that I look back to my previous problems in finding jobs, all the struggle and fear [read here]

All paid off. 

Now..

I meet good people, 19 of them at once. I have a good job with a good prospect. I am feeling blessed beyond words. I will never get enough of us!

PFL CSO 14 + Pak Toper part 2

I know that GOD doesn't let me have those jobs for a reasons and I think I get that now.
This is totally worth it.

PFL BCA - Duty Officer Internship [KCU Kalimalang]

The Duty Officer Pin

It has been a long three days and I haven't get a chance to write any good blogpost for a while and I am going to be quite buzy for couple weeks ahead so I this is might be a good time to write a post. 

Today (2/12) is my last day of DO. In fact, I am doing my DO report at the moment. 

My Report Cover Page

If you ask me what it felt like? The answer is:

It was tiring but rewarding at the same time

Tired part, no question needed! If you are not tired, or have a sore feet, or have a blisters all over your feet, it is not DO. I have blisters and band-aid all over my feet on the day 2. 

Pardon my toes but I really want to post them. =P

Rewarding part, I cannot really explain this very well but you kinda get the feeling of satisfaction from all the help and services that you provided for the customers and how some of them reply by showing gestures of thankfulness. I am proud and happy at the same time when that happen. This is when I really think to myself that this is a good job. That I might do well in this job, that I want to do well.

OK, so I was 'randomly' placed at BCA KCU Kalimalang, East Jakarta. 

BCA KCU Kalimalang

Considering the place that I am renting right now, it was far far far away. According to Google Maps, it was 22 KM away!!

Taken at 23:38
It should take around 1 hour by car on working hours.

I was considering using Gojek but because my parents were too worried of the long distance road, I ended up staying at relatives' house for 5 days (since Friday night) which was awesome!! HAHA!

What about BCA KCU Kalimalang?

• They have the best, kindest, loveliest, angelic Kalay (Kelapa Layanan) EVERRR!! (or so from the little comparison that I have)

• They are big! The building itself consist of 4 floors + basement. I made some maps for my ppt. 

First Floor: Teller and ATM
(I put some watermarks)

Second Floor: Prioritas, CSO, SDB
(I put some watermarks)

• The atmosphere is much more relax and lenient than my first intern branch (KCU Thamrin) and it is much much much more crowded with customers ranging from senior citizen to students.

• There are a lot of securities and they are friendly and highly educated about the products and procedures. They make a good DO partners. Honestly, on my first day the Teller's DO was 'borrowed' by smaller branch and I need to get by the whole day as DO, alone. On my first day. On Monday (Ughh, busy Monday! The branches closed around 15:15 and 'really closed' around 16:00).  I receive a great help from the security officers.

To Do List (Preparation):

• Buy a comfortable shoes (some branches allows black flat shoes, it will be nice if you get information ahead, I didn't)

• If you have time and resources, check out the locations one day before. If possible, get to know if you can wear flat shoes for DO (girls only)

• Come early on your first day. First impression lasts forever! 

• Get to know the branch layout and counters! (you will be questioned about this a lot!!!)

• Get to know the forms needed for each transactions (for both teller and CSO forms, learn how to fill in as well. A lot of customers are confused you have to be able to guide them through)

• Drink enough water and bring some candy. You will be greetings people all the time, you do not want to have a bad breath.

• Ask where to have lunch in the morning while everyone is still not too busy.
• Take enough pictures to be put on your report.

To Do List (While On Duty):

• Smile and Greet, Always!!

• Ask if you do not know! Do not give some random answers, it will get back to you.

• Check the forms, do not let them run out.

• Help the customers that look confused or worried. They are the one who needed help the most.

• Do not act high and mighty. Learn from everyone. Remember that everyone is smarter and more experienced than you! Do never act differently to people just because of their background! Treat others the way you want to be treated! (one of my life motto).

• Learn from your mistakes. Do not repeat the same mistakes!

DO Report:

• Do not forget to take pictures
• Ask the Kalay for in-depth information (branch hierarchy, majority transactions, etc)
• Remember the layout
• Remember each touching/important moments
• Take note of possible improvements
• Do it ASAP. You only have little time to finish this one

That's all.
You shall be fine.

Remember to be friendly and down to earth! 

Use this chance to the fullest to get the enough the experience needed for your job later at branch office.

This is nearly the end of the in-class training.
Use this time efficiently and spend quality time with your beloved classmates.
I would suggest to start packing your stuff. The books weight around 3 KGs each. You will need space for uniforms as well (2 blazers, 3 blouses, skirts, and long pants), for men you will need to make your own pants!

Nomz Kitchen and Pastry is located in a quite strategic location. Inside one of the most prestigious mall in Jakarta,  Grand Indonesia.

As written on their website, the restaurant was founded by Chef Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu.  Some of the chef includes Chef Arnold's younger brother Reynold Poernomo and a Master Chef from Australia, originally from Vietnam, Kha Nguyen.

Correct me if I am wrong.

The ambiance

We (me and 2 friends) came on Sunday afternoon around 12 pm and we choose to sit on the outside table as I think that the lighting will be ideal for photography, and it was perfect!

As soon as we ordered, we were served an appetizer. 

I cannot exactly describe what that is. It is kind of a fried dough. I couldn't say I love it, but it was a good 'crunch' to have while waiting. 

ps: the flower smells soooo gooood!!
I want to take them home!

What we were ordering:

Curry Baramundi (115K) -- the black bowl
This was the food that I ordered.
The size is pretty big that I couldn't even finish.
I love the curry sauce very much and I love how the elements of the food compliment each other well.
It taste somewhat Asian/Thailand food, somewhat savory yet sour and fresh.
Love it.

Nomz Benedict (110K)
It was my friends meal. I honestly feel like this meal is overpriced.
It only consist of two layers of pancake (?) and 2 eggs and the platting is very plain. Just that pile of eggs and pancakes on a big, white plate. I honestly felt my friends disappointment when the benedict was served.
The eggs was slightly overcooked too, they didn't ooze the gooey yellow yolk when cut into half which is quite a disappointment as I expect more.
Mostlikely would not recommend this dish to anyone.

Nomz Chicken (95K)
The meal was simple. It was practically fried chickens with garlic butter rice.
I was pretty disappointed too! The chicken was great but some of them (I remembered two) was undercooked.
It was the pink chicken!!! My friends ended up not eating those.
I really expect more. I didn't get to take pictures of the chicken tho (TT,TT)
Would not recommend others to have this.
I thought the Masterchef was suppose to be very strict about food safety.

Well, at least they have a great lightning

And my post was re-post! 

[REVIEW] Peripera Lip Water Tint in #5 Strawberry Pink

By now, most of you must have guess that I am a big fan of MeeJMuse unnie. 

I love her videos, I agreed with most of the opinions that she talked about, and I found that I am in love with the products that she loves as well. 

Thus, I am always looking for what products she is loving as a references. 

(Not all the products she loves will suits me anyway)

One of the reasons why I am buying this lipwater is because she loves it and I fell in love with this colors when she wore it on one of her video. 

This one!!

Since Peripera brand is not available 'on store' at Indonesia, I have to buy it online.

This color, #5 Strawberry Tint a.k.a Candy Juice is a new color and not all online shop has it. 

I need to order them from the one in Jogyakarta (Center Java) #determination

Peripera Lip Water Tint #5 Strawberry Pink

It comes in a very cute packaging. Look at the cat-lady.

The product comes in a small glass-like container that I am sure is plastic.

It has some production code printed on the bottom on the container.

Is it the word "Jeju" written there?

It comes with a build in sponge applicator.
The applicator is somewhat pointy means that it is user friendly.
The liquid is watery. Living up to the name water tint.

Peripera Lip Water Tint #5 Strawberry Pink applied on hand (Left)Peripera Lip Water Tint #5 Strawberry Pink blended (Right)

I tried to apply the products on the back of my hand for a test.

It absorb quite fast. See on the left picture, the edge of the product already turns into a soft looking pink.

After blending it out, the color was even out. There is no reddish spots, dots, or harsh line left out.

Peripera Lip Water Tint #5 Strawberry Pink applied as blusher

As I am sure about the blending 'ability' of the products, I am going to check it out on my cheeks as a blush. 

I know some products like benefit, tend to leave some dots or marks when you leave it even for just couple seconds. But not this products.

Turns out that it blends beautifully without leaving spots and the color is quite nice. 

Since it is a water tint, the color pop out quite nicely and it last longer than powder blush. 

Left: Bare lips
Center: Applied Peripera Lip Water Tint #5 Strawberry Pink, and blend out
Right: Close Up

It turns to a beautiful shades of reddish pink. Not too red, not too pink.

After blending out, the color looks like a beautiful naturally looking lips. 

I love it.

Review:

Price: Rp 70K-110K

Pros:

• Beautiful color, natural looking

• Medium durability (gone after meal)

• Easy to blend out

• Cheap with loads of products

• Beautiful Packaging

Cons:

• Tend to dry up the lips (since it is a water tint)

• Not easily found

Recommended: YES!! The color is sooooo beautiful <3

Repurchase: Maybe? I love the color but since I love exploring other color (now I am having plenty of other colors). I guess I will think about it later.

[REVIEW] Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 24H Auto Eyebrow Pencil #2 Dark Brown

I have been wanting to use an eyebrow pencil for a while. I have been only using eyebrow gel (mascara) all this time and I think eyebrow pencil will be better to give definition and tidy-up my brow compared to mascara type.

Eyebrow make up has been popular since quite a time by now but it is a whole new world for me to venture. I have naturally medium thick eyebrow which is slightly arched. 

I am still learning how to groom my eyebrow

Since I have a profound love for Korean Make Up products, I am going to buy mine from those range. My first choice is actually the The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Design My Eyebrow. However, I got the  Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyebrow Pencil haha. I was couple bucks short from being the member, and I remember that I need an eyebrow pencil. So, well.. the difference should not be too extreme right?

Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyebrow Pencil
It comes with 2 ends: a brush and the pencil-like end

The eyebrow pencil is somewhat crayon like but when applied on turns somewhat powdery. The color is dark brown which matches my current 'ombre' hair. It lasted all day and the brush is good at evening out the harsh edges. 

This is the color on my skin

I am somewhat still a freshman in 'brow-drawing-faculty'. There are lots of things unknown to me and I am still exploring the areas. I know that with my round face, I am not allowed to draw the straight korean eyebrow as it will make my face even more round. 

Source here

I decided to play it safe at first, following my natural eyebrow line.

from the left:
1. bare eyebrow
2. draw the outline of the eyebrow
3. fill the sparse area
4. brush it to blend out harsh edges

And I am done!

Natural enough?
I am not exactly satisfied.
I will definitely update further techniques that I discovered that are quite easy and natural looking enough for daily wear.

Review:

Price: Rp 110K-150K (I forgot the price)

Pros:

• Long last, Waterproof

• Good packaging, Good Brush.

• Good color

• Relatively cheap

Cons:

• After couple of weeks, the end of the pencil tend to be kinda blunt and it is quite hard to draw define line with it

Recommended: Yes, it is a good one.

Repurchase: Probably not. I still want to try The Faceshop ME:EX. 

Hog's Breath Cafe Jakarta

The new "IN" restaurant in Jakarta, it has been reviewed by couple of food bloggers like AnakJajan and Eatandtreas!  It is relatively easy to find as well as it was located on one of the biggest mall in Jakarta, Tribeca, Central Park Mall.

We come at night and this is what it looks like. I am not smoking but I sat on the smoking area because of my friends wanted to sit on the sofa.

They have a saloon concept and they offer mostly steak and western food wit rusty feel. The concept itself makes me feel like some cowboy is going to jump out outta no where. LOL. 

I came with a Buddhist friends who cannot ear beef, so we are having all chicken night. 

Cajun Chicken Dijonaise - Hog's Breath Indonesia

The Cajun Chicken is the menu that I wanted to try. I love that the chicken is tender, juice, and perfectly seasoned! The portion is big and we have our fill. I love the fact that the side dishes are not neglected! The mashed potato was OK but the vegetable were seasoned and boiled until it is soft. 

I can say that the side dishes matched the chicken pretty well.

Aglio Olio - Hog's Breath Indonesia

Next up is the pasta. For pasta, we are having a simple Aglio Olio and I cannot say that I love it. It is bit too greasy and under-seasoned. The cheese is kinda out of place and doesn't match that whole dish well.

Meat Lovers Pizza - Hog's Breath Indonesia

Last but not least is the Pizza! We are ordering Meat Lovers Pizza but we switched all beef, bacon, and ham to chicken. This might not the one you will be having if you are a beef lover. LOL.

The pizza was OK. The bread was crispy and the toppings was good. But not too special. 

I guess since it has a saloon and steak house concept, you should try the meat selection! ;)

It worth visiting and the portion was good!
