Collect Memories





Wow, it’s been more than 5 MONTHS since the last time I post on this blog?
*hush hush dust*

Ok, I’m not gonna give some lame excuses like busy and such.

But lately, writing in Instagram story feels more fun than in blog because I can interact directly with the readers. And more rewarding too, because statistic shows that my Instagram story reader number for a day equals to my blog reader   number for a year!

Anyway, it still feels good tho to re-read my blog post.

I just reminded about it when I shared about our superwoman domestic helper, #MbakTransformer in Instagram story. I looked up my blog archive about housemaid and glad I once wrote down my past experiences so not only I can learn from it, but my readers too.

My life is such an open book, anyone can read and learn from it.

So I told myself, hey, why not keep writing and documenting my life, no matter how trivial it is, no matter how short or long it is, no matter how few the blog reader compared to the Instagram story viewer is.

Because I supposed to write not to impress, but to capture memories, thoughts, and everything that comes to my attention, so I can revisit it anytime, just like old times.

Collect memories, not things? Yes, please.

Well here are some memory collections from January to June 2019:

January

-       Got ankle injury after fell down at home’s toilet and it brought a blessing a disguise: during bedrest I have plenty of time to share on my Instagram story, started from a follower’s question about financial. One thing to another, came to a topic about our struggle in the first years of marriage. I gave it a title: The Real Marriage Life. Since so many people dm me about their marriage and struggles too, I made an additional account @therealmarriagelife to answer similar questions.

February

-       Held our very first Couple Workshop in KawanMain where we shared about our lessons learned in marriage life about understanding family tree, managing expectation & reality, assertive communication, and MBTI. What supposed to be only 2 hours turned out to be 4 hours :)
-       I also held semi-private MBTI Assessment based on request of my follower from Sumatera with an instant preparation in a sudden. Thank God it turned out very well :)
-       Invited by Bekraf for Orbit Event, where I shared my knowledge about investment as acquired from VC Unlocked 500 Startups in UC Berkeley last year and enriched with my own experience in startup investments.  
-       Must-waited event of the year: Big Bad Wolf Books 2019. Like previous years, I helped them again in distributing VIP invitations to my friends and followers.
-       Opened #Startuplokal Monthly Meetup which was converted to #Startuplokal Monthly Workshop. This month was about Product Design Sprint led by Mas Faren. Love the atmosphere!

March

-       Invited twice in a month by KTV to share about parenting tips for Parent Things program. It was taping and get on air a few months later.
-       Held MBTI Workshop Online & Offline in Kantorkuu Citywalk Sudirman attended by 35 online and 24 offline participants. It was fun!
-       Hosting Arisan Sosrosoepardjan on my curly girl’s birthday at home, full house!
-       Back to School! Started class to get Master of Theology in STT Baptis Jakarta.
-       Sharing about “Cara Atur Pemakaian Gadget Anak” on Sisternet event in Kemenkominfo building.
-       Opened #Startuplokal Monthly Workshop about Drafting and Reading Legal Document led by Ivan Lalamentik in Telkom Tower.

April

-       Learned about investment (again) at GIST Investors Mobilization Training Program, with real case simulation. Got useful knowledge for angel investor.
-       Learned about entrepreneurship (again) at Binus University as part of UMKM Knowledge Festival Week about Business Strategy Implementation. Got useful knowledge for entrepreneur.
-       Learned about Couple Counseling Technique from Ibu Ilyana Widodo at Rumah Konseling Jakarta. Got useful knowledge for counselor.
-       On duty assisting hubby speaking at some events, such as PPBT Business Camp 2019 by Kemenristekdikti in Grand Mercure Kemayoran; and Business Talk about “Startup Exit Story” by Iluni UI in Depok Digital.
-       Invited to speak in front of 37 Ibu Bhayangkari Metro Bekasi in Begreno Puncak Bogor. I shared about “Istri Bersahaja, Suami Tenang Bekerja”.
-       Indonesia’s National Election Day! Of course I voted, and celebrated Indonesia’s democracy party.
-       Family day out in Ragunan, just like good old days!

May

-       Learned about Due Dilligence from my co-investor Gitta at #Startuplokal Workshop, and the next week I also learned about Family Capital for Successful Family Business and Career from his dad Pak Handi Irawan at Family First Seminar.
-       Hubby and I were both invited to speak at The Next Dev 2019 in Novotel Bogor. Hubby shared about “22 Simple Ways to Jumpstart Your Startup”, while I shared about “Team Dynamics and Leadership using MBTI Instruments”.
-       Accompanied hubby speaking at Kampoeng IT BCIC 2019 by Kementerian Perindustrian in Denpasar Bali.
-       While in Bali, I held private MBTI Assessment class as requested by Mbak Fanina Yulianthi, held in her own Niki Diagnostic Center Clinic.
-       Raised funds for our cousin Tessa who’s fighting leukemia through platform KitaBisa.com , kindly donate here: KitaBisa Tessa.
-       Host iftar with my family in our home with the background of Christmas tree, as we all live in harmony :)
-       Beside iftar with family, we also did iftar with our extended family from ex Tiket.com and also with our small town house neighborhood. Love it.
-       FINALLY MADE MY DREAM COME TRUE: CELEBRATE OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IN SANTORINI !!! Of course this one deserves one special post. I’m now finishing full episode video of our trip. Will recap it here soon! Meanwhile, you can check the videos on my IGTV here :)

June

-       Right after our 14 Days Greece Trip to Santorini, Naxos, Mykonos, Piraeus and Athens, we went straight to my mom’s hometown Bangka Island in Sumatera for celebrating Idul Fitri with my family.
-       I lost count on how many happiness I’ve got during this month because I enjoyed it so much in real life that I didn’t care to share it much on social media. PLUS, I have a tendency to keep our beautiful pics for myself quite some time before I finally post it, just like the pic on this blog header, hehe.

Ok I think that’s pretty much sum up my memories during the first semester of 2019. This post has been on my draft for a couple of weeks, and just now I got the time to finish it in the middle of dizziness of studying Masoretic in class, LOL. Guess I should document AND post it more often so I could share it with you all.

How was your first semester of 2019? Hope it was great too!


End of June 2019,

Nuniek Tirta

Exclusive Blogger Dinner with Bio Oil

Tau nggak aktivitas paling ngangenin dari suami hampir tiap malam? Selain diusap2 kepala kalau mau tidur, juga... diolesin bedak pengurang gatal di sekujur punggung, hehehe. Udah sekitar 2 tahun terakhir ini kalau malam punggung aku tuh sering gatelll banget sampai kayak panas gitu dan datangnya tiba-tiba aja. Padahal dulu nggak pernah gitu lho.  Awalnya setelah googling, aku pikir penyebabnya tungau, binatang super kecil yang suka ada di tempat tidur. Tapi aku udah usaha bersihin semua kasur pakai jasa profesional buat bersihin tungau, nggak ngaruh juga. Lagipula kalau aku tidur di tempat lain pun (baca: hotel / apartemen) gatalnya juga masih sering datang. Jadi bukan karena tempatnya deh.  Niatnya sih mau konsultasi ke dokter, apalah daya nggak sempat melulu  (ahlesan) . Eh ndilalah hari Kamis kemarin diundang sama Blogger Perempuan Network ke acara Exclusive Blogger Dinner with Bio Oil di Tanamera Cuisine, yang dipandu oleh MC kondang, temanku Uchita Po...

Prinsip 3 Topi dalam Parenting

Semalam, putri pertama kami (9,5 tahun) melakukan ritual bersih-bersih sebelum tidur: mencuci muka dengan sabun pembersih wajah, sikat gigi dan mengoleskan body lotion, etc. Melihatnya, suami berkomentar: “Kok sekarang ritualnya banyak amat sih?” Putri pertama kami spontan menjawab: “Ya namanya juga mau remaja” Sontak suami dengan lebaynya merespon, “Huaaaaaaaa! Tidaaaaakkk!” Dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan, “Pantesan sekarang sudah nggak mau pegangan tangan sama daddy lagi. Maunya cuma pegang bahu. Sudah nggak mau dicium-cium lagi. Huaaaaaaa!” Saya tertawa melihat suami yang kelabakan anaknya sudah mau remaja dan tingginya sedikiiiitt lagi sudah sama dengan mommynya. Change along your kids changes Ya, kita sebagai orangtua harus berubah seiring dengan perubahan anak-anak kita. Ketika anak beranjak remaja, ia sudah tidak bisa lagi diperlakukan seperti balita, misalnya. Menurut Arun Gogna dalam bukunya Lasting Gifts You Can Give Your Children , sebagai orangtua ki...

Pacaran Minggu Ini

Photo by @nisadianty Kalau kamu sering mengikuti postinganku di media sosial, pasti sudah lumayan familiar dengan hashtag #PacaranMingguIni ya. Sebuah hashtag yang disematkan untuk menandai ketika aku pacaran sama suami. Kenapa pacaran? Karena ya memang harus berduaan. Nggak boleh diganggu sama anak, ortu, mertua, sodara, teman, tetangga. Apalagi sama anaknya ortu mertua dari sodaranya teman tetangga. #halah #ribet Kenapa minggu ini? Karena dijadwalin rutin  setiap minggu  alias  seminggusekali . Dulu waktu suami masih ngantor, jadwalnya tiap Jumat malam, supaya Sabtu-Minggu full buat anak. Sekarang karena mostly Senin-Jumat kami sudah bareng anak2 terus, jadi dijadwalinnya Sabtu siang/sore. Nggak bosen, gitu? Yaampun sis, kalo pacaran yang menyenangkan aja bosen, gimana ngelakuin hal-hal lain yang nggak menyenangkan? Pacaran itu kan reward, hadiah setelah melakukan kewajiban-kewajiban kita sebagai orangtua dan suami/istri. Trus kalo pa...

Saya Nuniek Tirta, bukan ((hanya)) seorang Istri Direktur

Catatan penting: untuk mencapai pemahaman penuh, mohon klik dan baca setiap tautan.  Awalnya adalah pertanyaan . Membuahkan suatu jawaban .  Diposting di akun pribadi, seperti yang biasa saya lakukan sejak hampir 15 tahun lalu , bahkan sebelum Mark Zuckerberg membuat Facebook.  Jawaban yang juga autopost ke facebook itu menjadi viral, ketika direshare oleh lebih dari 20ribu orang, dengan emoticon lebih dari 38ribu, dan mengundang 700++ komentar. Kemudian menjalar liar, ketika portal-portal media online mengcopas ditambah clickbaits.  Tidak ada media yang mewawancara saya terlebih dahulu ke saya kecuali satu media yang menghasilkan tulisan berkelas dengan data komprehensif ini .   Well, ada juga yang sempat email ke saya untuk meminta wawancara, tapi belum sempat saya jawab, sudah menurunkan berita duluan selang sejam setelah saya posting foto di bustrans Jakarta .  Selebihnya... Tidak ada yang konfirmasi terlebih d...

Family Holiday at Club Med Bintan - Premium All Inclusive Resort

I just had family holiday at Club Med Bintan, on 14-17 December 2017. To be frankly honest, it was way more fun than I expected as a short weekday getaway. Definitely one of the best vacation that we ever had! Photo of us in Club Med Bintan by Sweet Escape Transportation from Jakarta to Bintan Island We flew on Thursday morning, 14 December by Garuda Indonesia from Terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Tanjung Pinang Raja Haji Fisabillah International Airport. It was scheduled to be boarding at 10:30 but unfortunately got delayed for about an hour, so we arrived at around 1pm.  Transportation from Bintan airport to Bintan resort  At Bintan airport, a driver was already waiting with a sign board "Club Med". We then continued the journey by car, an hour long road without traffic jam at all. Not much to see along the way, most of it was some kind of deserted areas. But when we entered Lagoi area, it is green everywhere I see.  Arrival at ...

Gathering Perdana Indonesia Lifestyle Digital Influencers

Apa sih influencers itu?  Influencers adalah, menurut Thesaurus, orang-orang yang memiliki kemampuan mempengaruhi banyak orang, baik melalui media sosial maupun tradisional media. Dari sisi bisnis, seseorang dapat disebut influencer jika ia memiliki kemampuan untuk mempengaruhi keputusan seseorang dalam membeli sesuatu. Biasanya, influencer sering dimintai pendapat, arahan, ilmu, atau opini tentang suatu bidang. "True influence drives action, not just awareness". ~ Jay Baer ~ Tiga hari lalu, tulisan saya di  Facebook pribadi  menjadi viral dan dishare oleh lebih dari 18ribu orang, dengan lebih dari 33ribu emoticons. Tulisan itu lahir dari rasa tanggungjawab pribadi saya sebagai seorang lifestyle influencer (yang memang sering dibayar hanya untuk pamer), untuk mengedukasi para follower saya supaya tidak bergayahidup melampaui kemampuan (finansial) mereka, seperti yang telah  saya tulis sebelumnya di sini . Beberapa portal mengcopy paste tulisan itu dan diber...

From Past to Peace

Letting go isn’t about forgetting; it’s about losing interest in what no longer matters, and finding peace in the quiet joy of the present moment.

Perawatan wajah dan cerita masa muda

Andaikata blog dan social media saya punya semacam FAQ (Frequently Asked Question, alias pertanyaan yang paling sering ditanyakan), sudah pasti di urutan pertama akan bertengger pertanyaan: "Pakai produk perawatan wajah apa?"  Banyaaaakkk banget follower instagram / facebook / twitter saya yang nanya gitu, dan minta saya mengulasnya. Saya bilang sabar, tunggu tanggal mainnya. Tapi sebelum saya jawab pertanyaan itu, saya mau mengenang masa muda dulu ah..  Jadi begini cucuku... Waktu pertama kali ngeblog 15 tahun lalu , usia saya masih 21 (yak silakan dihitung usia saya sekarang berapa, pinterrrr). Jadi jangan heran kalo gaya bahasanya masih 4I_aY 4b3zzz.. (eh ga separah itu juga sih, hehe). Tapi ekspresi nulisku di masa-masa itu masih pure banget, nyaris tanpa filter. Jadi kalo dibaca lagi sampai sekarang pun masih berasa seru sendiri. Kayak lagi nonton film dokumenter pribadi. Kadang bikin ketawa ketiwi sendiri, kadang bikin mikir, kadang bi...

Light Sleeper vs Heavy Sleeper

How are you, my geek widow? my husband asked over lunch, holding my hand with a playful smirk. For context, a “geek widow” is a married woman who feels functionally single at night because her husband is off “dating” his computer screen until 3 AM, lost in a world of coding. In response, I proudly pulled up my phone to show him my sleep statistics from last night. I had achieved a gloriously high sleep score with zero wake-ups! The secret? We didn't sleep in the same bed. We have an unwritten rule: if I’m already fast asleep and he’s still coding late into the night, he doesn't come upstairs; he sleeps on the mattress below so he won't disturb me. Not to be outdone, he pulled up his own stats. Sky-high deep sleep, practically zero awake time; a typical night for him. He is a naturally heavy sleeper, and honestly, I envy him. He won't wake up even there's loud noise, I have to touch him directly to wake him up. But then came the unwanted advice: he started listing of...
