Property, Stand-Up Comedy, McD

Early morning began with an offline meeting in our apartment’s function room with the Two Spaces team. We sat down to coordinate the management of MNV Mono Co-Living and Calma Rivervilla Puncak, and once again I was reminded why meeting in person still matters. Things move faster. Conversations jump tracks in the best way. New findings appear, the kind that never show up in Zoom squares or WhatsApp threads. Acceleration feels real when you can point, scribble, interrupt, laugh, and immediately decide what needs fixing, what deserves upgrading, and what could hopefully bring in more cuan. Amen to that.

After the meeting, I returned to our unit to a very sweet surprise. My youngest had prepared a special banh mi for us, complete with yellow sweet potatoes and green beans as side dish. Healthy, delicious, and honestly… beautiful. She really does go the extra mile when she cooks, from flavor to presentation. As if that wasn’t enough, packages arrived too. Hampers of cookies from Skystars and a Black Forest treat from Apiary. Thank you, thank you. The universe was clearly in a generous mood today.

In the afternoon, my husband and I headed to Jakarta for our weekly date. Yes, we call it #pacaranmingguini and yes, we take it seriously. The main agenda was stand-up comedy, but first: dinner. Luckily, there was a Japanese restaurant still open in the row of shophouses near the venue. We ordered in a rush because it was already 6:40 PM and the show was supposed to start at 7. The food was… fine. So-so. Definitely not cheap. The real test of patience came when we asked for the bill and had to wait for it to be prepared, even though it was very obvious we were in a hurry. Time wasted, stress added.

We rushed into the stand-up comedy venue, slightly annoyed and mildly panicked, only to discover that the show would start more than 30 minutes later. Of course. Kzl. But credit where it’s due, the opening was genuinely funny, with the host roasting the audience right away. The show was titled Standup Meeting, a stand-up comedy and office roasting show. Hosted by Duto Triadjie, whose roasting skills were truly savage. The lineup included Alya Chandra, Abizar Hakim, Oza Rangkuti, and Popon Kerok. Oza stood out for me, sharp, funny, and substantial. The headliner, unfortunately, felt like the weakest link. No clear concept, and I found myself struggling to stay engaged by the end.

Which brings me to a personal conclusion: two hours of stand-up comedy is enough. Three hours is… a lot. Laughing continuously is exhausting. It drains energy for me. Toward the end, I caught myself checking emails and WhatsApp. I know. I’m sorry. The show finally ended at 10:25 PM, and I was caught between extreme sleepiness and extreme hunger.

Thank God for McD drive-thru. A simple chicken value meal eaten on the road, and after that, I slept all the way home.

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...

Meeting Myself

Today was one of those Saturdays that felt full in the best way. I joined the Alphasmart Training Session as a Player, hosted by BWI , from 9 AM to 2 PM. Ten trainers and coaches were specially invited as VIP participants, and lucky me, I was one of them. Some of the participants were blogger friends I’ve known since the early days of blogging more than a decade ago, while others I met for the very first time. Every single one radiated positive vibes and genuinely good energy. The mission of the day was simple but huge: to meet the most important person in our lives: ourselves. Sounds a bit dramatic, right? But oh, it worked. For two and a half hours, we laughed, we cried, and sometimes we did both at the same time. My big “aha” moment came during my very first card draw: wisdom. At first, I was drawn to the picture of a library (because books, duh), but what I got was a conversation with myself about the meaning of wisdom itself. How reading other people’s thoughts in their book...

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...

What I Learned from Timothy Tiah - Founder of Nuffnang

Last Sunday when I entered VIP room at JWEF , I was introduced to this guy with his mini version boy on his lap, and his pretty wife with white top and red skirt. We had chit chat and he told me he’d be in Jakarta this Tuesday, and I told him that we’d have 57th #Startuplokal Monthly Meetup on Tuesday night. To be really honest, only a very few did I know about him until he shared his amazing story on JWEF stage a few minutes later, and get inspired that I took note and now share this with you all. Timothy Tiah founded Nuffnang with Cheo Ming Shen at 2006 when he was 22 years old, with 150k RM startup capital, partly borrowed from his father. He simply founded it because there’s nobody built it before, while the demand was actually there. The site was launched in February 2007. Sales ≠ cashflow On earlier years, although Nuffnang sales highrocketed, the cashflow was poor. At one point he only has 5k left in bank, while there were invoices need to be paid out urgently. He came to Hon...

Merayakan Cinta di Pulo Cinta (Review, Biaya, Giveaway!)

Prolog Teman-teman mungkin sudah tau ya, seharusnya saya dan suami merayakan wedding anniversary kami bulan ini di Santorini, seperti yang sudah saya impikan selama bertahun-tahun. Tapi terpaksa batal karena suami ada urusan yang tidak bisa diwakilkan, yang dapat mempengaruhi masa depan serta hajat hidup orang banyak.

Industri Fashion dan Harga Jujur

Saat tulisan viral “Istri Direktur” sedang hangat2nya, di antara ratusan pesan yang masuk, saya menerima sebuah pesan pribadi dari follower Instagram . Tulisan panjang dalam Bahasa Inggris itu intinya mengatakan, bahwa dia juga seorang yang hemat namun tidak akan mau beli baju seharga 50ribu karena itu berarti tidak menghargai pekerja garmen lokal. Dia menyarankan saya meluangkan waktu untuk survey berapa upah para pekerja konveksi rumahan. Industri Fashion Kira2 begini deh ekspresi saya saat membaca pesan dan sarannya. Poker face. Ehehehe. Saya katakan terima kasih atas concernnya. Tapi tidak perlu mengajari saya berapa upah pekerja garmen lokal, sebab mama saya pernah menjadi bagian dari mereka. Ya, waktu saya kecil, mama saya adalah penjahit konveksi rumahan, sampai sakit maag karena lupa makan demi mengejar target borongan. Upahnya memang kecil, tapi cukuplah untuk membantu perekonomian keluarga. Tahun 2008 hingga 2010 saya juga sempat terjun ke industri fas...

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 ...
