When I was 17 ...


I got back home bit early this afternoon. My experiments on gas adsorption and surface area did not run well. I thought I have degassed my sample properly for the whole night, but it did not. Since I am dealing with coal sample (the most abundant TOC rock), I assume it will take longer degassing time - crap!

Watching TV in the afternoon is something I rarely do. Not only I spend most of my time working in lab, but I always arrive at home in late afternoon. For the very-rare first time I got back home at 2.30 pm ~ what? Well, I think there is no point to hang at lab when you know your sample is not ready to be measured. What a bummer.

In the afternoon, the TV shows were pretty much on the reality-things-related show. There were some interview shows, such as Ellen Degeneres, Tyra Banks, or Wendy Williams. There was an interview about Hannah Montana, and the girl said 'THERE WILL BE NO HANNAH MONTANA NEXT SEASON'. Oh great, now she has graduated or what? I bet Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus will stuck on the microphones. I like Miley as person and actress, but (of course) not as singer.

Since I am not the afternoon-TV-person, I had not idea what to watch (which is lame). There are more than 100 channels and I found no preference ~ come on ! It takes sometimes to decided before I chose MTV2. LOL. There was a show called 'When I was 17'. Basically there were like 3 celebrities or so talking about their experiences when they were 17. Quite cheesy show but I turned to watch it, and inspired me to write my next blog topic.

When I was 17, I was ...

.. OK ! Well, not so OK. I went to the nerdiest high school at moment. Not that I did not proud of it (of course I did), but it was just quite awkward to have this not-so-cool sensation.


When I was 17, I listened to ...

.. Lots of alternative pop such as Blink182, GreenDay, Good Charlotte .. My fav video would be Blink 182 - The Rock Show. This era had the most heterogenous music atmosphere .. There was Christina-Britney feud (and yes I preferred Christina), the young musicians sensation (from Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Vanessa Carlton, to Avril Lavigne) .. This was also the era of segregating the terms of 'vocalist' and 'musicians'


When I was 17, I thought ..

.. I knew everything, but I did not ! Ha ! I was so spoiled, but at the same time I wanted people to acknowledge my existence.

When I was 17, my favorite outfit were ..

.. t-shirt, hoodies, cargo trousers, and sneakers. I was not big fan of jeans nor formal shirt. The uniform of my school was not my favorite things to wear on, for sure. I did wear it just because the rules said so.


When I was 17, my favorite food was ..

.. tahu gimbal at Tentara Pelajar st. It is basically bean curd shrimp fritters. I loved this dish since I was in junior high school. The taste remain the same. My 2ndr favorite food would be grill steak at Gita Anjana, P. Mangkubumi st.

When I was 17, the best moment was ..

.. having Supra XX as my ride. FINALLY I have my own motorcycle. I always took buses everytime I went to school. I used buses since 7. Having 10 years of using buses were quite accomplishment, but having this ride was just awesome.


When I was 17, I had crush on ..

.. I Dewa Ayu Furva Chyntia Mayasari (or something like that ~ I don't recall her last name). I called her mbak Furva, she's 2 year older than me. When I was junior, she was senior. We were in the same troops marching. She was one of our trainer. And yes ~ she was beautiful and elegant. Haha.

When I was 17, my biggest cheat was ..

.. cheating on Physics exam. Who didn't?

When I was 17, I knew that ..

.. I will be geophysicist ~ well, not really bcoz I wanted to be pop star at first ~ haha.

Why I hate stereotypes ?

I hate stereotypes. Why? Because it will drag you to become narrow minded in the way of your senses to respect a community. Some people called me terrorist, because I am moslem. Some people called me second level residence, because I am Asian. Some people called me nerd, because I don't drink and don't do shit. Stereotyping and generalization are the basic human being’s reaction. It’s subconscious and is triggered and formed based on our background, education, culture, social upbringing, etc. We can’t help it. And the judgment is personal, individual. Stereotyping is practiced by everyone about other communities or segments of the same community. Although I hate it, stereotypes are inherent to human nature, and for good reason. We are all stereotypical of fire. We don’t touch it because we know it will burn us. We are told never to touch snakes because they are poisonous. So aren’t we being stereotypical when we don’t go near these things? Aren’t we being stereotypical when

Tipe Tipe Dosen Penguji Skripsi

Menurut saya menonton sidang skripsi itu seru dan penting. Seru, karena kita jadi bisa melihat muka nelangsa teman teman kita yang sedang asik dibantai para dosen penguji. Tentu sebagai seseorang yang pernah pendadaran, saya mengerti rasanya tekanan saat sidang dimana sejuta umat manusia  beberapa dosen menguji hipotesis dan hasil penelitian saya. Ibarat dosen penguji adalah pemain liga voli, maka mahasiswa yang sidang adalah bola volinya: sering dioper sana sini dalam kebimbangan dan kegalauan.  Penting buat ditonton karena  sidang skripsi mengajarkan kepada kita bagaimana cara ngeles ala orang berpendidikan. Itu juga adalah momen dimana kita berhak memperjuangkan title geophysicist  tanpa perlu bayar SPP dan BOP saben semesternya lagi. Selain itu penting juga buat belajar dari kesalahan orang lain saat sidang supaya kesalahan sama ngga terulang. Namun, namanya lulus sidang skripsi itu susah susah gampang. Salah satu faktor penentunya adalah dosen penguji. Berikut adalah

Review Beberapa Sidang Skripsi (Part 1)

Kalau di postingan sebelumnya sempat ngebahas tentang karakter dosen penguji skripsi, kali ini saya mau fokus me- review  sidang skripsi yang saya tonton dalam 3 bulan terakhir.  Memang sejak kembali ke Indonesia, ada sekitar delapan sidang skripsi S1, dimana lima diantaranya saya tonton. Alhamdulillah delapan mahasiswa ini lulus semua ~ ngga ada yang ngulang. Tiga sidang skripsi yang ngga saya tonton adalah sidangnya Kris'GF07, Gondes'GF06 dan Pai'GF06 - dan sumpah nyesel banget. Terutama skripsi Gondes yang konon dia merangkai dan membuat seismogram sendiri, dipasang di gunung Merapi sendiri, datanya diakusisi sendiri, hasilnya diolah sendiri, diinterpretasi sendiri. Bahkan instrumen seismogram yang dia pasang di gunung Merapi katanya uda hilang ditelan material vulkanik letusan besar tahun 2010 kemarin. Ebuset. Itu butuh pengorbanan waktu dan stamina banget lah.  He embraced the philosophy of being a geophysicist. Sangat asolole. Review yang akan saya berikan t
