Oh.. it has been almost 2 months already.<br />
<br />
I think I am getting used to Jakarta's life and its environment. Sometimes I still miss Korea, especially my school and my room, and I miss speaking Korean language too. Anyway, this is where I live now - Jakarta, and I should be grateful to Allah for giving me such a wonderful life. <br />
<br />
31 March,<br />
I took IELTS test at IDP Pondok Indah. The result has come out and Alhamdulillah.. I could pass the minimum requirement for the application of scholarship that I want to apply. Having taken IELTS test, I can say that I prefer IELTS to TOEFL. Why? Because I think IELTS test is easier than TOEFL. That is only my opinion and I believe every body has their own opinion and preference. ^^ Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to ask anything about IELTS. Hope I can help you :)<br />
<br />
IELTS test is done. Then, what's next? Many friends of mine asked me what I am doing nowadays. Hm.. I could say that actually I am enjoying my free time. Haha. I feel like this is a really long-time vacation. I love it! I could do whatever I want at anytime. No hectic schedule, no people who can ask me to do this and that, simply because everything that I do is for myself and I know when I should do and finish it. You know, I am really happy because I can manage my time freely. I can choose whether I will act like an employee of a company or like one who do not have any job at all. <br />
<br />
In the middle of April, I took a psychology test for the process of a job application I applied to. The psychology test was the second step of the process. There are five steps in all. Administration process, psychology test, Interview with HR and user, medical check up, and interview with the top management of the company. I was so excited before taking the psychology test. I was so surprised because I met my senior high school friend at the venue of the test. She was my classmate. We sat side by side in the room and went home together after finishing the test. ^^<br />
<br />
Around 2 weeks after that, when I was having dinner with my friend's sister, after legalizing my degree certificate and transcript at Korean embassy in Jakarta, I got an email from the company. It invited me to an interview and medical check up. It was on 4-5 May.. The best thing I got when I attended the interview was meeting other 7 new people who also came for the interview. They were all so nice, friendly and kind. "You guys talked each other like you all came from the same senior high school.", someone said so to us. We spent time together while waiting for our turn on the medical check up day though we spent all day long to finish all of the medical check up process.<br />
<br />
Ah ya.. yesterday was my best friend's wedding day. She was one of my bestfriend in senior high school. I saw the akad nikah and I was really really happy seeing the ceremonial. I was deeply moved when I saw her asking permission from her older brother and her mom to get married. That was the best moment. I felt like I wanted to cry.. I met some of my senior high school on the party. Though it is not really many. I am really happy for her and I am waiting for my turn. :)<br />

(part 2)Yak.. jadi sesampainya gw di Jakarta, gw langsung jadi (sok) sibuk gitu. ㅋㅋ<br />
<br />
Sebenernya dibalik ke(sok)sibukan itu, gw lagi berada dalam tahap kebingungan, apa sebenernya yang gw pinginin. Di lubuk hati yang paling dalem udah tau sih apa yang dipinginin, tapi Allah belum mengizinkan untuk saat ini. :) Jadi harus bersabar..<br />
<br />
Minggu pertama dan kedua gw di Jakarta diabisin dengan mempersiapkan alat-alat bantu untuk berkomunikasi dan alat-alat bantu untuk belajar gw nanti. Trus sempet main ke UI juga dan bertemu dengan adik tercinta sambil makan siang bersama :D Selain itu gw juga nyempetin diri buat siapin dokumen-dokumen yang diperluin buat ngelamar kerja, trus ngelamar kerjanya, interview, daftar IELTS, dsb. Minggu ketiga dan keempat, gw lebih banyak diem di rumah buat belajar IELTS dan berinteraksi sama orang rumah dan ga lupa membantu ibu di rumah. :D Seneeng..<br />
<br />
Ohiya, selama di Jakarta ini, ada satu tempat makan baru yang jadi favorit gw. Nama tempat makannya adalah Choco Green Kitchen yang berlokasi di pertokoan deket gedung hijau Pondok Indah. Terhitung udah lima kali gw ke sana dan ga bosen2. ㅎㅎ cake yang dijual di sana itu enaaaaakk bangeeet.. Red velvet, blue toscany, rainbow cake, ugly flourless brownies.. yuuuummm.. trus di sana juga jual makanan berat juga dan yang paling enak menurut gw adalah yaki udonnya (paling enak di antara yang udah pernah gw cobain). Mba2nya sampe udah afal banget sama gw haha. Ini twitternya klo mau follow.. @ChocoGreenKitch<br />
<br />
Ya, jadi begitulah kerjaan gw selama sebulan ini.. Biasanya klo udah sebulan di Jakarta, gw balik lagi ke Korea. Tapi kali ini enggak.. Jadinya minggu ke-3 dan ke-4 ini gw kangen banget sama Korea terutama Daegu dan makanan2nya. T_T Ada ga yang mau ngirimin dari sana?<br />
Kangen itu semakin menjadi-jadi dikala gw ada ditengah hiruk-pikuk lalu lintas Jakarta yang semrawut >.<<br />
Mulut gw ni ga tahan banget buat selalu compare Jakarta sama Korea. Liat ini itu ga bener dikit langsung aja ngebanding2in. Jakarta oh Jakarta.. <br />
<br />

<br />
Yak kali ini mari berbicara dengan bahasa yang lebih ringan dan santai di sela-sela waktu istirahat gw yang sedang mempersiapkan IELTS test ini.<br />
<br />
Hari ini tanggal 26 Maret 2012, berati pas banget udah 30 hari gw ada di Jakarta setelah Alhamdulillah mendarat dengan selamat di bandara Soekarno-Hatta pada tanggal 25 Februari 2012 sekitar pukul 8 malem lewat 6 menit yang lalu.<br />
<br />
Mari kita sedikit flashback ke tanggal 25 Februari 2012. Hari itu pagi-pagi sekali sekitar pukul setengah 8 pagi waktu Daegu, gw berangkat dari rumah menuju ke terminal bus diantar oleh temen-temen tercinta yang sudah saya anggap seperti kakak dan adik saya sendiri, Mas Rio.. Kak Ati.. Teh putri.. Zahra.. Hafiz.. Ardie.. dan juga Paman Marbun (Paman Korea yang sudah seperti ayah kami di Korea). Malem sebelumnya, Ajumma (Ibu-ibu yang sudah menikah berumur paruh baya) pemilik tempat kos-kosan gw dateng ke kamar buat ngitung biaya listrik yang harus gw bayar sampai pemakaian malam itu. Setelah urusan ngitung-ngitungnya selesai, gw ngambil dompet gw untuk ngeluarin tambahan uang yang harus gw bayarkan ke si ajumma (sebelumnya gw udah ngasih 100,000 won buat bayar listrik tapi ternyata kurang sekitar 12,000 won lagi). Tapi tiba-tiba si ajumma nahan tangan gw yang udah bersiap ngambil selembar uang 10,000 won. Dia bilang, "Eh ga usah aja 12,000nya itu.. biar ajumma aja nanti yang tambain ya. gpp. uangnya kamu simpen aja." Hiiikks.. gw terharu banget sampe pingin nangis malem itu. Alhamdulillah, gw sangat bersyukur dapet juin Ajumma yang bener-bener baiknya supeeeerr.. Gw speechless. Gw sering denger cerita temen-temen lain yang tinggal di Korea yang juin Ajummanya bermasalah, galak lah, pelit lah, atau apa yang bikin ga enak.. tapi alhamdulillah banget gw bisa dapet juin ajumma yang super baik hati udah kya ibu gw sendiri. Akhirnya, sebelum dia pergi ninggalin kamar gw, tiba-tiba dia mengucapkan salam perpisahan sambil meluk gw. Huhu.. Gimana gw ga terharu dan sedih buat ninggalin gedung bernama Cheongsol itu. :(<br />
<br />
Ok, balik lagi ke pagi-pagi tanggal 25 Februari. Di pagi yang dingin itu, Ajumma sempetin bangun dan langsung nyamperin kamar gw buat say goodbye terakhir. (Lagi-lagi bikin gw sedih). Pagi itu gw belom sempet bersiin kamar, belum disapu, belum dipel.. Barang-barang sisa pun masih ada beberapa yang tertinggal di kamar. Ajumma bilang, "Udah-udah gpp itu semua tinggalin aja barangnya nanti Ajumma yang bersiin dan rapiin. No worries." Ajumma.. sungguh dirimu begitu baiknya.. T_T Gw pagi itu emang bener-bener in a hurry karena baru selesai packing jam 6 pagi! Haha.. Baru packing yang bener sehari sebelumnya sampe temen gw bilang, "mut sebenernya jadi pulang ke Indonesia for good ga sih?" :D Total barang bawaan gw adalah: satu koper gede, satu koper yang lebih kecil, satu tas seukuran muat di cabin, shoulder bag, plus tas kameranya temen yang mesti gw bawain buat dia yang udah duluan balik for good ke Jakarta.<br />
<br />
Di terminal bus.. cuma satu yang bisa gw bilang: sediiiiihhh :( I said, akhirnya hari ini tiba juga.. hari di mana gw say goodbye sama daegu, knu, temen-temen yang udah kya keluarga di sini, dan korea. Hiks.. That was the saddest farewell ever in my life. Tapi hidup kan harus terus berjalan. Setiap pertemuan pasti ada perpisahan. Akhirnya setelah 5 tahun, gw bertemu lagi dengan yang namanya perpisahan itu. Kak Ati yang paling manja.. gw dipeluk-peluk terus dari lima menit sebelum berangkat. huhu.. Kakak pertamaku di Korea..<br />
<br />
Tibalah saatnya gw harus angkat kaki dari tanah Daegu dan menginjak lantai bus yang akan ngebawa gw ke Incheon International Airport. Good bye and see you next time Daegu. My second home town...<br />
<br />
Sampe di Incheon, langsung nyari kak Eva, temen gw pulang bareng. Beliau adalah dosen UI yang baru aja lulus S3 di Kyunghee Univ di Seoul. Alhamdulillah tanpa gw rencanain sebelumnya, ada temen bareng pulang satu pesawat dan kita bisa duduk sebelah-sebelahan. Tentunya ini rencana Allah subhanallahu wa ta'ala. Pas checkin, bener-bener deg-degan.. udah punya feeling klo barang-barang bawaan bakal overweight dan ternyata benar. ㅋㅋㅋ<br />
<br />
Ga kerasa waktu berjalan cepet banget sampe akhirnya tibalah saat gw untuk boarding. Alhamdulillah lokasi gatenya juga ga terlalu jauh dari gate immigration kita. Oh iya, pas di counter immigrasi, kartu alien registration gw diambil sama petugasnya lho.. nandain klo gw ga akan balik ke korea lagi kecuali bikin visa baru. Say goodbye to ARC..<br />
<br />
Pesawat yang gw naikin berkode KE627. Pesawatnya baru! Seneng banget bisa naik pesawat Korean Air yang baru ini. Waktu itu juga pertama kalinya gw duduk di deretan kursi paling depan di tengah yang spacenya lebih luas itu. Kak Evanya lagi hamil, jadi perlu ruang untuk ngelurusin kaki jadi milih kursi di barisan paling depan. Ternyata duduk di situ enak juga karena jadi ngerasa ga sempit. Tapi kekurangannya jadi ga bisa liat jendela, which is my favorite place to seat inside a plane. :D Hari itu gw makan vegetarian oriental meal yang udah gw pesen beberapa hari sebelumnya. Hmm, lumayan enak tapi masih kalah enak sama vegetarian oriental mealnya Cathay Pacific. Keuntungan mesen special meal adalah kita bisa dapetin mealnya lebih dulu dari orang-orang yang ga mesen special meal. Hehe.. Asik kaan.. Yang paling gw suka dari Korean Air adalah mba-mba pramugarinya yang super ramah banget dan dia orang Indonesia. Sangat helpful apalagi buat Kak Eva yang banyak request ini itu pas kakinya bengkak di dalem pesawat. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*eh gw ini sebenernya cuma pingin cerita sebulan ini gw ngapain aja di Jakarta tapi kok malah flashback ke tanggal 25 Februari dan berakhir dengan tulisan yang kepanjangan.. Haha.. kebiasaan klo mood nulisnya lagi kambuh :P mohon dimaklumi<br />
<br />

Hiks hiks hiks. I am so sad... :((</p>
<p>I am really leaving korea very soon..</p>
<p>Baru aja aku melepas kepergian roommateku. Dia akan kembali ke tanah air nanti jam 10 pagi. Satu per satu orang2 meninggalkan Korea, dan satu per satu orang2 datang ke Korea.</p>
<p>Aku pun akan menyusul mereka yang meninggalkan Korea. InsyaAllah tanggal 25 besok. I feel really sad to leave you Korea. You know? until now, I havent finished packing my things. Udah sehari lagi tinggal berangkat tapi koper belom beres. Padahal dulu waktu mau ke korea lima tahun yang lalu, klo ga salah 3 hari sebelum berangkat, barang2 udah siap di dalam koper. </p>
<p>a lot of beatiful and precious memories, nice and precious friends, expensive experiences...that will not be forgotten</p>
<p>I am speechless..<br>
Thank Allah who made this happen to me.. Thank Allah for making this beautiful scenario in my life..and I am waiting for the other beautiful scenarios...</p>

<br />
<em>Setelah pada hari Ahad kemarin mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada rak buku tercinta yang sudah ikut bersamaku sejak 2008, sekarang saatnya untuk mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada PC-ku tercinta yang sudah menemani hari-hariku di Korea selama hampir 5 tahun. Hmmm.. sebenernya casing dan keyboardnya aja sih yang hampir lima tahun. hehe.. Mainboard, harddisk, dan ODDnya sempet ganti waktu Agustus 2009. Trus video cardnya baru ganti juga bulan September tahun kemarin. Mousenya lupa ganti kapan. Tapi yang jelas kamu sudah berjuang dengan keras menemani hari-hari saya, PC-ku. Hiks.. Jangan sedih ya.. Kamu akan diambil oleh orang yang baru besok. Semoga dia selalu merawatmu dengan baik, memandikanmu secara teratur supaya kamu tidak berdebu, dan menjagamu dari serangan virus-virus jahat. Aku khawatir dia tidak merawatmu dengan baik. Tapi semoga saja kekhawatiranku tidak terjadi.</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Maafkan aku PC, aku tidak bisa mengajakmu pulang ke Indonesia untuk melihat tanah kelahiranku. Dirimu terlalu berat untuk kubawa ke Indonesia dan mungkin sudah saatnya aku mencari penggantimu. Maafkan aku karena aku lebih memilih untuk mengajak buku-bukuku pulang. Maafkan aku karena telah menjualmu dan menggunakan uangnya untuk mengirim buku-buku itu. Jangan marah ya.. Kamu harus baik sama orang baru itu seperti halnya kamu baik terhadap saya. Sehat-sehat ya PC walaupun aku tidak ada.. T_T </em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Sekarang aku akan membersihkanmu, memindahkan file-file penting ke external harddiskku. Lalu membuatmu seperti baru lagi.</em> <br />
<br />
Byebye PC~<br />

<p>I feel happy. Selama lima tahun di sini, saya mendapat banyak teman perempuan yang lebih tua dari saya yang sudah saya anggap seperti kakak sendiri. *Beginilah nasib ga punya kakak perempuan :D ternyata enak ya punya kakak perempuan itu.. </p>

Waktu berjalan begitu cepatnya hingga tiba waktu ketika kedua teman saya meninggalkan Korea. Tania dan Ajeng, mereka adalah salah dua teman terbaik saya di masa sekolah. Mereka datang ke Korea seminggu yang lalu dan beberapa jam yang lalu mereka sudah meninggalkan Korea.</p>
<p>Sebentar lagi saya pun juga akan meninggalkan negara ini. Negara yang sudah saya anggap seperti rumah kedua saya. Negara di mana saya juga bisa merasakan, "ahhh.. Back to home..", ketika saya keluar dari bandara Incheon setelah liburan di Jakarta. Negara tempat di mana saya banyak belajar tentang arti kehidupan, belajar hidup mandiri, mengatur keuangan sendiri, memanage segala sesuatunya sendiri, mendapatkan pengalaman yang tak ternilai harganya, teman-teman Indonesia yg sudah seperti kakak dan adik sendiri, teman-teman terbaik dr negara lain yang tidak akan saya temukan di tempat lain, orang-orang Korea yang sangat baik dan suka menolong dan masih banyak hal lain yang saya dapatkan di negara ini yang tidak mungkin bisa saya dapatkan di tempat lain.</p>
<p>Belajar di negeri ginseng bukanlah sesuatu yang pernah saya rencanakan sebelumnya. Memikirkannya saja tidak pernah. Semua benar-benar mendadak dan tiba-tiba, dengan persiapan yang serba cepat. Hanya atas kehendak Allah lah saya bisa sampai di sini. </p>
<p>Mungkin lima tahun di sini sudah cukup untuk mendapatkan segala hal yang terbaik buat saya. Sebentar lagi saatnya kembali ke tempat di mana keluarga berada. Saatnya melanjutkan bab hidup saya yang baru, dengan cerita baru dan tokoh-tokohnya yang baru juga. </p>
<p>-mutia</p>
<p>P.S.: Mungkin blog ini tidak akan diselesaikan sekarang.. Saya masih ingin menceritakan tentang hal-hal baik yang pernah saya alami atau dapatkan di sini.</p>

Hari ini adalah hari ujian akhir semester saya yang pertama, pertama untuk semester ini.<br />
Hari ini adalah hari ujian akhir semester saya yang terakhir, terakhir untuk semester ini dan terakhir untuk jenjang pendidikan sarjana ini. <br />
<br />
Rasanya gimana? Alhamdulillah... rasanya ploooong dan lega!<br />
Plong ya.. karena abis ini untuk sementara saya ga perlu mikirin ada ujian-ujian lagi di setiap semesternya. (Kecuali klo saya jadi lanjut kuliah ke jenjang selanjutnya). Tapi walaupun nantinya saya lanjut pun, tentunya akan beda dong. Sarjana dan pasca sarjana tentu saja berbeda. Tantangannya di pasca sarjana tentu akan lebih seru dan lebih sulit sepertinya. <br />
<br />
Sedikit mau membandingkan perasaan saya waktu dulu, waktu selesai mengerjakan soal-soal UAN SMA. Perasaan yang sekarang ini, hmm gimana ya.. agak sulit untuk dijelaskan ya ternyata. Haha. Intinya perasaan yang sekarang ini.. seperti setelah ini ga ada beban lagi yang akan hinggap di hidup saya. Lain dengan waktu setelah UAN SMA. Waktu itu setelah UAN, walaupun lega, tapi tetap saja masih sibuk belajar ini itu untuk mempersiapkan SPMB. Hmm, terkesan saya menunjukkan klo beban hidup itu hanya soal-soal ujian ya? Hehe.. Maksudnya bukan begitu.. Tapi yang jelas, saya senang karena ini artinya sebentar lagi saya akan menapaki langkah selanjutnya. Lulus TK, SD, SMP, SMA, dan sebentar lagi lulus S1. Akhirnya... saya sebentar lagi akan menyusul teman-teman seangkatan saya yang sudah lebih dulu lulus S1 pada tahun 2010. (ya, saya telat masuk kuliah karena saya sempet mampir di salah satu universitar negeri di depok selama 1 semester, lalu pindah ke korea untuk belajar bahasa korea 1 tahun dan akhirnya baru mulai kuliah tahun 2008). <br />
<br />
Hmm, baiklah.. sepertinya hari ini cukup segini dulu. Nanti kapan-kapan dilanjutin dengan kesan pesan tinggal di negeri ginseng selama 5 tahun ya. Semoga bermanfaat bagi siapa aja yang mau melanjutkan studi atau bekerja di Korea. *Semoga kesan pesan selama 5 tahun ini bukan menjadi kesan pesan perpisahan saya dengan Korea. #hiks. I don't want to leave Korea. Masih pingin tinggal di sini at least dua tahun lagi dengan syarat...................Mutiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177237536842676894noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005693300812922933.post-12368652258858412082011-11-16T20:55:00.001+07:002011-11-16T20:59:03.969+07:00Produk Indonesia di KoreaSeneng nemu produk buatan Indonesia dijual di Korea ^^..<br />

InsyaAllah. <br />
<br />
Setelah hampir lima tahun di Korea, akhirnya sebentar lagi saya akan lulus kuliah S1 juga. Perasaan campur aduk. Antara senang dan sedih. Senang karena sebentar lagi satu tahapan hidup akan selesai, sedih karena ngebayangin klo akhirnya saya benar-benar akan meninggalkan Korea ini. Saya berharap saya masih punya kesempatan untuk tinggal di negara ini. Saya sudah menganggap kota Daegu ini seperti kampung halaman kedua saya setelah Jakarta. Saya kangen Jakarta, tapi saya juga suka tinggal di Daegu. Banyak kenangan yang udah diberikan oleh Daegu dan KNU selama 5 tahun ini. <br />
<br />
Saya berharap saya masih punya kesempatan untuk tinggal di negara ini tapi tentunya tidak sendiri. Saya ingin punya seseorang yang juga bisa merasakan suka duka yang saya rasakan di sini. Saya juga ingin dia merasakannya secara langsung. Tapi semua itu cuma Allah yang tau, cuma Allah yang bisa menentukannya. Saya hanya bisa berusaha dan berdoa, berharap semoga semua itu adalah yang terbaik untuk saya, dan tentunya dia. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PbHkvm6s0AE/TnlwjDrpp6I/AAAAAAAAEdM/2t9mx_w3htY/1316581381424.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PbHkvm6s0AE/TnlwjDrpp6I/AAAAAAAAEdM/2t9mx_w3htY/1316581381424.png" width="328" /></a></div><br />
I went to a cafe called 'goyangi yeollineun namu' in downtown area of Daegu, an ordinary cafe where you can enjoy some drinks and cakes or waffles while playing with a lot of cute cats. I called it 'Cat Cafe'. It is located near the cellphone store alley. Actually, my friend is the one who asked me to go with her to this cafe since she loves cat very much. She said she has 14 cats in her hometown. Wow! <br />
<br />
So we planned to go on last weekend to this cafe. I was very amazed at the first time when I opened the door. I see a lot of cats running, walking, stepping on the table and sleeping everywhere inside that cafe. It was a little bit smelly but I think cat lovers do not care about it. Haha.. They just like to see, hug and play with the cats. <br />
<br />
My friend was fasting at that day so It was only me who ordered food and drink. I ordered a plate of waffle ice cream (6,000 KRW -- my friend paid for this ^^) and a glass of peach ice tea (4,000 KRW). Standard menu but I think it is enough to accompany you playing with the cats. Be careful also when the cats jump on to your table. They can ruin your foods!<br />

Cloud Computing has been the main stream of Korean Internet services since last year. It sounds little far from your daily life, but over 10 millions are using the Cloud service. Let’s take a look before it’s too late.<br />
<br />
Hot issue in IT World, elusive Cloud computing<br />
<br />
Cloud computing is defined as a computing environment providing services through internet servers such as a data storage, network, and contents at the same time according to Naver dictionary(http://100.naver.com). In short, we put all data together into servers of data center so we could use them whenever we need. Just like the clouds intangible, the space doesn’t exist in computer, but we can handle them freely<br />
<br />
<the cloud="" concept="" of="" service="" the=""> Let’s take an example with an email. Whenever you log in, you’ll receive emails or data. Your computer actually doesn’t have the storage for data but you can take them out from the internet server. This is a basic concept of it.<br />
<br />
Cloud computing is a technology that you can use the Operating Systems(OS) such as Windows, and Mac, and Word processor, Office, Photoshop, Games and all kinds of application programs and the saved data with certain payment. Many of Korean corporations and government organizations already adopted the service or moving to adopt it. IT service companies are providing a large webhard-type of cloud service for individuals as well.<br />
<br />
Faster, Easier and Cheaper<br />
<br />
The advantage of the Cloud Computing is that you can save the space and costs. All you need are a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and the network function, and you just have to pay as much as you use. The other advantage is that you can use the data anytime with a variety of IT devices such as computers, tablet PCs, and smart phones.<br />
<br />
For its cost effectiveness, the Cloud computing system is much more attractive to businesses than to individuals. With the Cloud Computing system, employees just need internet-accessible computer instead of expensive PC and software. In terms of security, the authentication process prevents the security breaches and information leaks.<br />
<there a="" an="" as="" at="" be="" early="" go,="" is="" it="" long="" seems="" stage="" to="" way=""> <br />
Firstly, the server stability and the security must be guaranteed for Cloud computing. In fact, a cloud computing service in the US was down for two hours with a huge loss. In this case, users’ loss must be tremendous. In terms of security, like DDoS, servers can be the target for hacking or attack. Strict security solution should be prepared to prevent such a horrible damage to data center<br />
<br />
Seize the Growth Engine of Future Korea<br />
<br />
The scale of the world Cloud Computing market is expected to grow from 31 billion dollars in 2011 to 60 billion dollars in 2014. It is the trend that world class IT businesses and venture companies consider the Cloud Computing a key industry in the future. Global competition for Cloud Computing among business and individual market is already underway<br />
<br />
In response to global competition, Korean government announced the strategy last month that they will increase the Cloud Computing adoption rate up to 15%. The official said that they will improve the legal system in order to promote the growth of Cloud Computing market. In addition to encouraging government agencies build up Cloud Computing infrastructure in a certain percentage, Korean government support small businesses so that they can be a global competitor through combining data center with Cloud Computing.<br />
<br />
Korean companies are set to Cloud Computing service. IT companies sell their services such as large scale Cloud Computing and virtualization solutions. They move ahead with international companies to be the leader in the world market of Cloud Computing market <br />
<br />
<global be="" business="" competition="" for="" generation="" is="" it="" leader="" next="" the="" to="" underway=""> Korean mobile service company K on June 30th made an agreement of joint venture together with Japanese company S. K has a plan to build up data center in Kimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do so that they could provide data service for not only Japanese companies but also for Asian companies within a radius of 2,000 km. Global e-bay company E announced last 13th they will build up data center in Busan to support Korea, China, Japan, Singapore and Australia branches. Prior to it, US IT company opened a data center in cooperation with Korean Insurance Company K in Songdo, Incheon city last November. It appears that more companies will open data centers in Korea<br />
<br />
The key reasons for these trends are geological conditions, less natural disasters, stable and low cost electric service and reliable internet service. In particular, IT infrastructure is the most highly graded. With these strength and advantages, we are looking forward to being a leader in data center hub through Asia and global competitor in the world cloud computing service market</global></there></the>Mutiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177237536842676894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005693300812922933.post-62166401269757937002011-07-24T18:04:00.001+07:002011-07-24T18:14:10.667+07:00[WSK Story] Yeosu, the Host City of ExpoWith one year left before the opening of the Yeosu Expo, the Organizing Committee is very busy in preparing the world event, drawing attentions from many countries. Focusing on one specific subject, “The Living Ocean and the Coast- Diversity of Resources and Sustainable Activities”, Yeosu will present something different.<br />
<br />
It is very meaningful that the Expo focuses on specific topic and shows the future of the human activities.<br />

Homeplus is a South Korean/British discount retail chain jointly owned by Samsung and Tesco. It operates hypermarkets and also home delivery shopping service. Though it is the second largest retailer in South Korea after Shinsegae Group, homeplus is my favourite place to do grocery shopping because it is very convenient, cheap, and close to my house. I registered a free homeplus membership and got a lot of discounts from it. <br />

</div>I usually go to there twice a month to buy some foods, vegetables, drinks, and others. Few days ago I went there with my friend and found some machines that attracted my intention. Self-service checkout. It really amazed me! So after I got all of things that I wanted to buy, I didn't go to the ordinary checkout but I went to the new self-service checkout. Haha.. That was kinda new things in homeplus so many people tried those machines and still the store clerk helped and taught them how to use those. Very interesting! You just need to scan the barcode of products and the machine will automaticaly recognize the product. After you finish scanning, choose what kind of payment you want to use, and bring your shopping things home. At that time, I paid it by debit card. The store clerk helped me to insert the card into the slot provided. I was wondering how if I want to pay by cash and I found that there is a slot for inserting your money, just like in the vending machine. Wow! I was amazed. It is so easy and fast. I love it!<br />

Korea.. I don't know what more to say.. you are just sooo hi-tech..!<br />
This is what I imagined some years ago.. and now I see it directly, It really exists and I can't believe that I am living in this hi-tech country. Alhamdulillah...Mutiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177237536842676894noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005693300812922933.post-59979295091953663842011-06-16T14:30:00.002+07:002011-06-16T15:49:42.390+07:00Convenient Traffic System of Korea<div style="text-align: justify;">Buat yang pernah mengunjungi Korea, pasti setuju deh dengan judul di atas. Hampir semua orang asing yang tinggal di sini atau yang pernah datang ke sini pasti bilang kalau sistem transportasi di Korea itu oke banget. Di Korea kamu bisa pergi ke mana aja dengan menggunakan bis atau subway yang aksesnya sampai ke mana-mana dan yang paling penting adalah aman dan bersih. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sistem transportasi di Korea saat ini dikenal sebagai salah satu contoh yang terbaik di dunia. Padahal sebelumnya banyak orang Korea yang mengeluh karena jalur-jalur subway dan jalannya ribet banget dan ga efektif. Tetapi akhirnya dibuatlah sistem diskon transit dan sistem subway yang dilengkapi dengan sarana-sarana yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Di Korea ini, ga ada itu yang namanya persaingan untuk mendapatkan penumpang sebanyak-banyaknya di antara perusahaan pengelola bis dan subway. Nah, ini salah satunya yang saya suka. Saya juga pingin nanti suatu hari Indonesia seperti ini -- ga ada lagi pemandangan angkot-angkot ngetem, bis-bis ngetem yang ujung-ujungnya cuma bikin jalanan jadi macet. </div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Selain itu, di Korea juga ada sistem diskon buat transit alias ganti bis atau subway yang tentunya bisa menghemat pengeluaran kita. Katanya sistem ini cuma ada di Korea lho (klo ternyata sistem ini udah ada di negara lain, mohon infonya yaa^^). Karena itu, banyak orang-orang yang tugasnya membuat ketentuan di negaranya, datang ke Korea untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang sistem ini. Di sini juga udah biasa untuk membayar tarif bis dan subway menggunakan kartu digital yang bisa diisi ulang. Sistem ini juga pasti udah banyak dipraktekkan di negara lain.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Yang saya suka juga dengan sistem transportasi di Korea ini adalah penandaan rute bus dengan warna biru, hijau, merah dan kuning; dan juga penandaan jalur subway menggunakan warna.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Subway Korea juga terkenal dengan kebersihan dan keamanannya. Pingin banget deh di Indonesia juga punya sarana transportasi yang bersih, aman, dan teratur kya gini. Katanya negara Filipina berniat untuk mengadopsi sistem ini lho untuk negaranya. Mungkin ada baiknya juga kalau Indonesia belajar dari Korea untuk sistem transportasi ini dan mengadopsinya. Apalagi kalo ditambah dengan BIS (Bus Information System) dan BMS(Bus Management System)nya. InsyaAllah ga ada lagi yang namanya macet di Jakarta.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

조아나랑 같이 갔는데 조아나랑 같이 안 갔으면 얼마나 심심했을 지도 몰라 ㅋㅋㅋ<br />
<br />
Tadi gw sempet nyoba lari 100 meter waktu 체육대회 di world cup stadium.<br />
gw pikir, "ah gampang nih kyanya tinggal lari." Dan ternyata..<br />
jreeeennngg!! pas gw lari.. di antara 8 orang (klo ga salah), gw urutan ke-8. Hahahaha.. gw baru sadar klo gw udah lupa gimana caranya lari.. wiiiww.. udah lama banget gw ga lari. Bertahun-tahun kyanya. Seinget gw, gw terakhir lari beneran itu waktu SMA pas ujian akhir pelajaran olahraga dan seinget gw, gw berhasil ada di posisi ke-2 waktu itu. Huaaa. ga usah ditanya lagi kenapa bisa jadi gini. haha.. olahraga aja bisa diitung pake jari kyanya. Tapi kyanya selain itu ada penyebab lain. Tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah kaki. Kaki kiri ini masih ga nyaman sejak jatoh waktu ke jakarta november kemaren. T_T Ngeri juga setiap mau beraktivitas yang mengandalkan kaki. <br />
