XIAO JIE

I remembered with my friend suggestions two days ago when I told my sad story to Guyon-Tainan (Indonesian students mailist studying at NCKU, Taiwan). Some of them suggested me to look for the bike around NCKU since probably the security would collect all the bikes, which was parking in the wrong place in one place around campuss before taking all of them away from campuss.

I followed their suggestions because according to their experiences, they could find their bikes again after doing it. After praying Jum’ah in Tainan mosque, I walked around my campuss and parking area to look for whether my bike was there or not.

My mind was fully dull. I could not think anymore. Ugghh, perhaps it was not my lucky time that I could not find it anymore. It’s ok, I thought. Who knows someday there will be a kind person gives me his bike. Hahaha..I am just dreaming.

I kept walking througt the parking place. I did not care some eyes glanced at me as if I were a thief who wanted to steal someone’s bike. Finally, I looke at the red key in the back of the bike. I could recognize it. It seemed I was so familiar with the thing. Then, I approached it. Aha!!! It was my bike. Thanks Allah, You still gave a chance to me to have the bike again. I was so lucky since I could find my love again. All the stories here were with him, actually, who always cared and accompanied me to go everywhere around Tainan. Finally, I found my beloved bike.

One day when I was about going to my dormitory after studying in the research room, I found my bike was not there. I still remembered that I parked my bike in that place. I was looking for my bike everywhere and hoping that it would be there. Perhaps, I forgot to park my bike in someplace. No, I guessed..exactly I parked in that place. But, why wasn’t it there? I wondered where it was. Huhh, did someone steal my bike? Did someone like so much my bike so that he took it away? Oh no..

Olala, I knew it that I parked in the wrong place. I parked my bike not in the parking place. Oh my goodness, it was my fault. I knew that it was prohibited to park not in the line made by the university. I was in trouble, then. Perhaps, the security took my bike because of it. It was my own fault…

Then, I had to go back on foot. Actually, I just tried to like to ride my bike recently. But now, it was gone. I could not ride it anymore although the bike had always accompanied me everywhere. He was my friend when I felt so sad. He drove me to the Banyan Garden- the place I went to relax my mind- if I needed. He never complaint when I got some troubles. He never complaint when I did not have umbrella with me to cover him from rain or sun shine. Staying for more two years with you would leave many stories that I could forget.

Firstly, I’d like to say thank you to professor for your
excellence teaching and guidance during this class. I got a lot of knowledge
and information during the class that I have ever known before. Actually, IRD
is new for me since I never studied it before.

 
When I joined the class, I knew what is the real stock market
is since you gave your experiences in doing it. So, I felt that it was kind of
the real situation I faced in the market. I realized that trading in a market
is like an art. We have to have some skills and sense of feeling to this
market. Knowing the situation and try to deal with the market, and of course,
to many people too in order to get the competitive advantage in the market,
even sometimes market has its own law that we can not predict every second or
minute of our lives.

 
You always emphasized about confidence when we’re going to
join in the market. And I was impressed with this one. I know that we have to
make sure to ourselves whether we are going to take the market or not because
we can get lose or win in the market. We cannot blame anyone else for
everything that we have made decisions.

I learned how to combine three things together in the market.
First, it is better to get as much as fundamental information about the market.
Second, before doing the further stage, a buyer or seller needs to know about
the technical analysis so that it can help them to analyze or predict the
market. Third, make a good strategy by making a trading plan. A good result is
always started with a good plan. As a player in the market, it is better to
know about the entry point and exit point in the market so that it will let us
know the profit or loss that we will get in the future.

However, I would like to give some suggestions about this
lovely course. Experiences and information sometimes are not complete without
knowing the real concepts about IRD. I think, most of us do not have any
background, capability and experience in doing this thing. It will be better if
professor provides some theories first before going directly to the real
situation of stock market so it will let them who do not know the concepts to
understand the concepts clearly. I sometimes felt that I do not have any steps
of how to understand about stock exchange even professor had provided some
information from the text book. It will be nice if there are some outlines
before we are going further.

I hope that the next semester class will be better. I have to
say that your teaching style is very good. You can make people pay attention
well to what you are saying..

Wish you to be always a winner. Remember!! A winner never
lets himself to be a loser…

Thank you very much professor.

 
Best regards

Today, I learn how to solve problems again. I always believe that problems are coming in order to be faced, not to be got rid off. This is because I was taught by my father to be brave to face the reality in life since I was a child. So, in matters of problems they are, I will always face them by myself. I hate if someone interrupted it without knowing the real facts. Am I too confident or is it because of my personality? I am really a conscientiousness person, I think. Besides, I always learn from many things surrounding me not only good things but also bad ones. Sometimes, I think deeply and isolate myself just because I want to find the solutions. This is the way I find the resolution. I do not want to blame anyone with all problems I am facing. Mostly, I blame myself even a small thing happened.

Problems can make me to be mature. I know how to handle with many things happened to me and I know how to face with others who has different personality with mine. Problems make me improve my own quality of life. If I can get an advantage from the problems faced, I think I can increase my quality. But if the problems just make me cry and sad, I think I waste my time because I did wrongly. I know, people have emotions and feeling. Heavenly, crying and sadness can make feeling better, especially for woman (hehe..). But, there is no solution through this way. I try not to cry when I get problems, especially in front of people. This is not a good solution to do, just waste my tears and time. Perhaps, I become more sad.

Anyway, people must be having their own ways to solve their problems. Believe me, when you get problems, just face the reality. We are living in reality now. So, just get the solution and resolution harmonically.

Staying few days in Jakarta makes me feel happy. But, sometimes I feel so worry n sad, too, since there are some problems coming to this big city that cannot be solved until now. It is true that Jakarta is the most crowded city in Indonesia. Thus, I do not really like to stay in this city even this city is the central of both government and economic of Indonesia. Day to day, the population is increased and increased. Besides, the buildings built are increased, too. If you go to Jakarta, you just can see the tall buildings and houses all over the streets. It is very rare to see the parks for people to take a walk or even to take a rest for a while. This city, I think, is not beautiful at all like the expectation of some people before coming to Jakarta. At first, people from other cities expect something that if they live in Jakarta, they will get better life and earn some money. It can be right since there is a big gap between this city and others. The gap can be seen from the distribution of factories built in or other economic development. The social problems are occured, too, in this city. There are a high rate for the crime here. It can be proved by some evidents happened here. It is very terrible. Oh, Jakarta, when can the problems be over soon?

♥If a kiss was a raindrop… I’d send you showers..

♥If hugs were a second… I’d send you hours..

♥If smiles were water… I’d send you the sea..

♥ If friendship was a person… I’d send you me..

The same messages were sent to me. They were the same meaning. So here, I would like to appreciate for my best friends that had already sent me the message. I am so happy to read them. You know, I am up and down now. Thank you for raising me up..

"Sometimes you might feel that you’ll be happier alone. But its always nice to have someone to laze around with someone to think about… Love. Someone to care about… Someone to share your joy. So take a chance… You’ll never know what you will get untill you have really try. So if there is some body you miss, tell them that you do. Cause there’s something only love can do…"

thanks to my friend for sending me the message..

I am still finding the truth of love, actually. But..

In this uncertainty situation, sometimes, makes me feel so worry. I am thinking about my research, as well. Besides, there is a bit worried about it because the situation in my country is not so good. There are a lot of natural disasters here. It causes my collection data, too. The questionnaires cannot be distributed soon to all over Indonesia until the situation is stable enough. Of course, this news make me so sad, but nothing that I can do. I have done my best to try everything. I just have to wait. Now I realise that waiting in an uncertainty situation is very unpleasant thing. Hope that the problem will be over soon..

It was the first time I watched Indonesian soccer team played a good performance during the competition nowadays. The competition was the Asian Soccer 2007. Actually, in the first session, both team, Malaysian soccer team and Indonesian soccer team, still got zero for the score. Finally, in the few seconds of the end of the competition, one Indonesian player, could made a goal eventhough he got a yellow card because he put his shirt off as the expression of his happiness. So, the score became 1-0 for Indonesian team. He was Jajang, from Purwakarta. He is very young and handsome. His age is still 19 years old. Everybody got surprised because at first he was failed in making a goal even there was a very good chance to do. But, he payed his first failure with a gold goal at a few second in the last session. Amazing!

Of course, everybody felt very happy because it was the first time that Indonesian team could have a chance to win the soccer competition. For some decades, Indonesian soccer team could not show a good performance in the field during a soccer competition. But now, it could make a proof that Indonesia still had a chance to perform better in the future. Indonesian team, absolutely, had a very good opportunity to show themselves to people of the world that they could be exist in the world’s competition in the future. Who knows?

There is one TV show that I have ever watched during my vacation in Indonesia, which is very interesting and funny, too. It is Japanese TV show, exactly. It is showing people performance with their new and fresh ideas. People will show their own ideas about something. The ideas can be everything, even sometimes they seem very crazy ones. There are some variations of contestants’ age during the competition. And there a lot of creative ideas created by them. Every idea will be honoured. Noone will be underestimated during the events. The judges will give scores based on their performance. There will be some feedbacks based on the performance. Moreover, people showing the best one will get a reward as the winner of competition.

One thing that I can take from this TV show that most of Japanese people are very creative because they can create some ideas and show them in some styles and ways which are very different among others. Besides, Japanese people, in my opinion, really honour people with the ideas even they are sometimes out of mind.
