Hi there... As for your info, i have applied some scholarships in AMINEF (American Indonesian Exchange Foundation), Ford Foundation, NFP (Netherland Fellowship Program) and ADS (Australian Development Scholarship). You can search their website in google and see the opening date and the education program (bachelor / master). Of course, i apply for Master Degree. When i got interview chance with ADS, at first, i am interested in Early Childhood Care and Development (children 0-6years old). I want to implement ECCD in Papua.
But now, i want to try development/social work.
My suggestion for you :
1. To be consistent in your choice of study is really important.
From my learning process, i found that to be important.
2. Be good in your english.
No need to be good, achieve standard point.
3. Make sure your study will affect community's life.
They want to make sure that you are willing to be back in Indonesia, not stay in abroad. Because the main reason you are sent is to develop your own country.
Well, to let you know, my master course is postponed. I do not get scholarship for 2010.
But,i still hope that i can get my master to develop my potentials and help others.
Gbu all

Sun shine on the beach
Yow, fellows...how are you doing today?
You know what....I'm freaking addicted to the word DREAMING this lately. I have another thing to share with you guys about it, again...
Let's imaging a place call 'beach'. Imagine of a sun set on the beach.
Since we were in Yogya, let's take an example of a beach...let say Krakal, or Parang Kusumo, but not Parangtritis since I don't like Parangtritis to be honest with you...I just don't like it!! hehehehe...
=D
Okay, back to the topic..
So, for me..there are three main things in here. Sun, sea(water), people on the beach.
I'm assuming that the Sun is our dream. You all remember old maxim (=pepatah) saying 'Rise your dream as high as the stars up on the sky' right? Since the Sun is one of them, so..the Sun really our dream. The sea is our self, and people on the beach are the others (family, friends, co-workers, every body else but us).
Talking about goal/dream achievement is like REFLECTING SUN SHINE by THE SEA WATER.
Reflecting the sun shine is to let every body enjoying our dream. So to achieve our dream is by serving other peole to enjoy our dream/goal. Many of us hardly achieve our dream, since what we're always thinking of is our self. We focus to reach out our dream for our own, not to serve other people.
Achieve our dream is as simple as reflecting sun shine on sea water on the beach.
Sun shine is free..But with this free litle thing, we know what the sea planned to serve people using the sun shine, look what we could get from the sea, out of enjoyable scenery : fish, salt, vapour, oyster, minerals, etc.
our dream is free..And we can serve other people with this free litle thing, we call our dream, also..we would get and give more than we could expected. We could serve people more than what we're dreamed of..!!
I know that sometimes there would be cloudy season or even rainy or even worse storm season, where we couldn't reflect our dream for others, but when we're standstill on our dream, keep serving others with the dream we have...then for sure people could enjoy and be pleased for the dream we share.
Again fellows...keep dreaming.
Best wishes for our dreams,

4 simple things
Hi there again, great fellows...what news?
For me, it's been a freaking hot day for some days..!!! I got burned really bad on my face. That's why today I've been using small towel to cover my face. But after all...I have a wonderful days...!!
;)
One thing I want to share you guys. Today, while me and my contractor's supervisor supervising a job, we've been talking a lot, as ussual. He's around 55 years old and had been working in construction projects offshore for almost 35 years. He started his career as a helper then become an operator, then a welder, then performing onsite supervisor. Once he owned a contractor
company and handle a construction project by him self, before going back to his home and build an oil palm farm.
One thing interesting when we're talking about achieving goals. He said we can do every thing and achieve what ever we want with 4 simple things to have in our self:
1. Discipline
We have to be strict to our self to do what ever it takes to achieve our goal. We have to force
our self to do what ever it takes and live by the rules of the path we choose a long the way
2. Fun
We have to enjoy what ever we're doing, and have fun with it. Because when we enjoy and get fun on doing something, we would love to do it without pressures and stressfulness. And when we're having fun, we would be so creative to find any solutions for problems we might have a long the way.
3. Knowledge
We have to know how to do what ever it takes to achieve our goal. So we need to educate our
self on the things we need to achieve our goal
4. Faith
We have to a sure our self, that we can achieve our goal. When there are many problems, we
still be sure that we will achieve our goal.
So, it's quite simple things, huh..???
;)
Again, when we have a dream as our goal, we have to do something to achieve the goal, we need to work on our dream. In working on our dream, those 4 things are great key points to have for each of us.
And I would like to add one more thing out ot those 4...which is and always be...PRAY.
Pray before God, for He would be with us and bless our dreams and actions a long the way, then when we achieve the goal, we could share the bigger blessing from God to every other one we could.
So...my great wishes for our great goals,

work on your dreams...
Hi there, guys...what news?
I realize that all of us have perfect dreams. The thing is, can we reach out those dreams..???
I believe it's always been a great way to know successful story of a famous person who could reach out his/her dreams in life. Take an example, Michael Jordan.
You know Michael Jordan, right? You remember my high-school mates that became one of NBA stars, right??? yeah.....your right..!!! (hehehe....I wished)
okay then...the thing is did you know that he once failed to make the varsity basketball team in hissophomore year at high school..!!! And you know why? Because with 5 feet 11 inches ( 180.34 cm) tall, he was deemed to be too short. So, basicaly he was not 'allowed' to join basketball team because he was not as tall as every body else. Undeterred, he polished his skills and made the teamthe following year (after he had grown four inches in the interim).
Let me tell you, for sure we need somebody else to achive our dreams. But mostly, other people want us to be somebody new that might be not our own self. That's not good..we need to live our life as our self, so that we have to count on our own self.
To make our mark on the world may be as simple as setting our sights on the goal we want to achieve, then devoting yourself to reaching it. Devoting is not only to keep and think of our dreams, but fully giving our self (desire, effort, compassion, power, all about our self) to achive our dreams. We don't have to do it overnight (which I believe we couldn't), it can take many years.
So, guys, keep up dreaming...and then lets fighting...!!!
My best Wishes for all our great dreams,
m2n
