Indonesian Jokes Aren't Funny

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Two days ago, a friend sent me a text, telling me that she met a woman who looks similar to me. She also added: "Maybe because I miss your jokes. The only different from you and the woman is just the nose"....and she ended the text with joke.com.

To be honest, I don't see the jokes in her text - instead, I was thinking: "What is she trying to joke about?"

Anyway, that's not the only experience I had with Indonesian jokes. Every so often I find their jokes are over-jokes. 

So what happened next if the jokes out-fix?  it could become offended, right?

The thing is many Indonesian people don't really know how to joke. Here is one of recent black humour from Indonesia.


I have no idea what inside the maker of this 'black-ads'. How can you make a joke from the very tragic accident which just happened not even 24 hours yet?!

People are indeed mentally ill when they think they can make a joke in the name of other people tragic life!

Online Best Friend? Why Not!

Monday, January 23, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments



Before I met her, I didn't believe about true friendship from internet. I mean, if in real life true and good people are hardly to find,  how can we trust somebody from internet?

Our acquaintanceship began from blogging, and then chatting through YM. After few times chatting - we feel we're blend for each other.

Finally, we decided to meet in person few years ago - since then we become good friends (aren't we, Tu?)

In real, I'm not really a friendly person. I'm fussy about many things, therefore I only have few friends. But most of these few friends know my characters very well so I feel comfortable to say anything and even act such a kid.

She got me to show the way I am. I like the way she 'threat' me.

Today, I realize how good she is to me. I hope she will be my best online buddy forever.

Mistakes I've Made

Saturday, January 21, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments



It seems that my blog rank diminish every day since I have mistakenly removed photos on my  blog (and I think I have posted about this). 

Since the removing photos can't be undo, I'm looking for the solution to get my blog rank back to normal. In fact, nothing I can really except keep up to dating my blog.

The Top ten articles are the most sought after by my visitors - both articles and the photos. What I most sorry is about the image of Perception and Sensation - it has the highest rank for the most search illustration by visitors.

Now, I must work harder to get my blog value is back again!

JengSri's Blog Speaks Against SOPA and PIPA

Thursday, January 19, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

This post is as my thought to against SOPA and PIPA legislation although this is just a small ambit to spread the words.

Since the past five days the internet world has been appalled by a news from US about SOPA and PIPA. I myself have signed the petition  in hope my voice can help other millions people who pro-internet.

I've read the effects for blogger if this legislation released. So therefore, I advice all bloggers, if you still enjoy blogging, to sign the petition.

I'm with them. What about you?

Can You Discuss With Me?

Sunday, January 15, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


Indonesian people don't know how to discuss. They really don't. From the top well educated people to the very poor educated people - most of them hardly to have a nice and calm discussion. 

They can't understand their owns opinions let alone to others. Indeed, very stubborn people. They can't calmer when restating their opinions - would be mad if their opinion rejected. 

And these types of people difficult to discuss can only be found in Indonesia!

Seriously, I don't know what else to say - too many times experienced like this. Either men or women, either young or old, too many of them are unyielding. 

I can hear you, I can read, I understand totally your 'normal' language, but can't you talk calmer?

Social Network And Etiquette

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

image socialredirect




Yesterday, a friend of mine felt annoyed from the profile picture of one of her friends on Facebook. I was actually surprised myself by the fact that she's friend with him on Facebook.

The thing is they both come from totally different world, and I know we don't chose friends on Facebook because of they have the same interest, likes, ethics or whatsoever, but...at least we chose friends because they are 'good' people.

Ok, here is the summary story. She wears hijab and the other is gay. I know him too but we're not friends on Facebook, and his gay is not the main reason I'm not friend with him. I have some gay friends, some of them are good friends, but I just can't see people with over narcissist. So instead of judging them I come with the idea not to be friends with these people.

What make me laugh is she fess that she never know what reasons make them friends on Facebook. I asked her what makes her annoying from him, and here is her reason:

Profile Picture

Apparently,  its about profile picture. The guy puts his profile picture with a nude man with just a ball covers his 'tool' in an intimate gesture, and according to her he often posting 'weird' things.

My first profile picture on my Facebook was Indonesian flag. Then I changed it, showing my face. I didn't think putting your own face is necessary on a social network - for some reasons I have to change this thought in more positive idea of having your own face on your profile picture.

Your profile picture can actually bring some benefits, for example a writer. Many writers who have Facebook account will show their face on profile instead of their books. Your face have strong influence in something you are doing.

I can see the change of my blog readers when I show my face on my profile. Somehow, we feel closer and friendlier between the reader and the writer.

Unless you don't want to put your face on profile picture because you're a shy person, or you think it doesn't  important... if that is the reason then its fine. But how about if the person like my friend told me?

Although its his right to put it on his profile, but Its indeed still annoying for us, especially if we don't like it.

Finally, our right sometimes isn't always about what right for us, but it obliquely involves other people'f life. Be respect to other people's comforts.

Fake, Expert

Sunday, January 08, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


image photobucket

How many do you find people who claim themselves as expertise?  I guess too many! This is not a new story anymore for us, beside corrupts problem, this is another unsolved phenomena in Indonesia 

A couple of weeks ago I had a discussion in a mailing list regarding to counselling. The person who sent the email was claiming himself as a master on its field. Moreover, he was brave enough to invite people in counselling. 

He gave his detail profile and particularly his master in which he got the master as counsellor in less than 7 months training in the subject area. Most ridiculously was the college/institute/ award him with a master counselor certificate . 

He was very good at responding to the people’s problems, and I could see his ability through his writing. Somehow, I responded his posting, curious about his knowledge as perchance he was alluding my study areas i.e. Psychology and Psychoanalysis. 

I know about his subject as I have studied it as well. His posting bothered me with a thought: "How could he help the patients?"

He has a very enthusiast and positive words: and this what he got from studying the subject. So he's kindly telling people a philosophy "We can do it!" for every type of problems.

Good attitude indeed. But, where is the qualification?

This is what still on going in Indonesia, and I deeply concern to what happens to grassroots in picking up an expert is totally wrong.

In other country such as Europe and America, they cannot give a counselling to people unless they are indispensible expert in its field. And to be expert they need to be in its field at least 10-15 years. Yet they need to be awarded by field its society. In other words being expert means full of knowledge in its field and able to prove that he/she legally as expert.

It’s enormously mournful to see people throng to tell their problems and they don’t even know the background qualification of the person - they likely just want to be listened.

More pathetically sometimes they irresponsive about this; it seems to me expert according to them is someone that can persuade them. 

Neither the counsellor nor the grassroots seems that both are pretending to be the expert and the other to be patient.

The Republic Of 'Ketoprak'

Sunday, January 08, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


A story tint a republic every second. It's inspired me to write about it as I'm part of its citizen. Off course I'm (still) so proud to be part of it ; born with the genetic exotics Asian looks; easy to find all the healthiest food (the thing I love most) etc. I’m just so lucky.

Drama Java Ketoprak (indoculture.com)
However, these fortuitously can only be seen by out side people *expats, when they visit my lovely republic or those people in the world who like watching news. 

Those who look at my exotic beauty would say: " Oh you're so beautiful, how lucky you are to be born there".  We are indeed very lucky. 

However, I have (always) something to discuss about: the beauty of its islands, the delicious of its foods and the unfinished story of its corrupts. My republic is unique. 

Sometimes I have a light thought share with a bit heavy subject with Tukang becak or tukang sayur - don't think they don't have ability to think critically, their hard experience life led them to see things from deeper and wiser perspectives than us who are more educated and have better life. 

And I’m the luckier citizen than those people want to think more critically than them (and if I could...do something about it).


Drama, Food, Republic and Ketoprak

real Ketoprak
I remember when I was a child my mom often brought me to a java show theater called 'ketoprak'. 

What we loved from watching ketoprak was its quaintness, and all the actors and actress played so well on their roles. 

We usually went together with the neighbors, and every each episode was always busy and crowded. 

One thing I remember about ketoprak is they always represent the bad and the good people in each episode. I really miss watching ketoprak.

Somehow I think watching ketoprak is just as interesting as watching a story of my beloved republic. Sometimes it makes me laugh, cry, angry as hell.... and make me mad, too.  The only different is the story in ketoprak Java isn't real, and my republic is real, but both give the same reactions to me.

Just exactly like when I eat my favorite food, ketoprak. I dislike eating garlic although I know garlic has very good benefits for my health, but I hate the smell. Ketoprak has a very strong garlic taste and smell, that whats somehow make the taste of ketoprak nice and very tempting, and I could eat two portions of ketoprak. Mad, eh?

Yeah, just like I'm mad with this republic.

We know that the biggest predicament is corruption. Fortunately people commence to be taught of what has been happening in Indonesia i.e. corrupt, bureaucracy, etc. It is indeed would be a hard work for everyone as the predicament long standing since some decades, and the problems may not be solved in just a short time working. 

We assuredly appreciate for those who caring away a society to fight the corruption. Their activities certainly influence other civil to speak out and courageous to take an action against corruption in the republic . 

If this society genuinely wishes for the changes of either in problem such as corruption or in changing law - however, I have such a thought that the main problem is not in the new law or new people in legislative, the problem is the people's attitude in the republic itself who mostly like to have a 'dirty negotiation' in which this habituation led them to corrupt. 

Perhaps, rehab is not just made only for people who have problems in drugs but also they should make specific 'program' for those 'dirty negotiators', to train them become better people legislative and citizens.

This topic will never be ended, and even so we get tired sometimes to hear the same old story but yet we still interest to keep listen and curious to see what next... exactly the same feeling when I and my mom watched ketoprak: its too much but yet we want to know how the story ended even though we know it will never be ended...because new episode will come soon again.

We're often dreaming of this republic just like the neighbor: when is it going to happen?When I share my thoughts with my very wise expat friends, they simply comment: "Because too many people selfish".  

Are we?

Lets learn to be more thoughtful and less selfish so. Start from now.

"Indonesia Suka Korupsi, eh?"

Saturday, January 07, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


I received an email from a friend of mine about a week ago. The title of his email was easy to guess by me as he usually sends some emails in concern to Indonesia. This time he sent it in titled “Embarrassing”, and it’s obvious to guess, which means it something embarrasses in regard to Indonesia.

And I am telling you it is embarrassing article to read as he himself is not Indonesian, thus I felt embarrass to myself as an Indonesian citizen, particularly the marked it the email with title “Embarrassing”. 

I understood of the title he gave means to be “how could this happen?” The email was taken from BBC that informing some of corrupts stories in Indonesia. 

The first story informing a man who strived to get his driver licenses, however he found it that he would not get it unless he give money to the police. According to article, he nicely asked to the police to give him the test forms, then again none of those police give the test forms.

The next story that informed by BBC is familiar with the former story which it was about corrupt in government. If you are now living abroad and reading those embarrassing articles, what would you feel or think? You might be embarrass, argue it, or not care at all perhaps?

You probably smile at this article while you reading this as you may already know that it’s not a new story, right? Corrupt can occur in anywhere and with anybody, and it’s not just in Indonesia. 

If you tell me this for argument, I will agree with you, but what bother me is Indonesia is already well-known as one of the largest corrupt in the world.

The story of the guy above and other stories that I cannot write down all of those stories on this blog, they all encourage me to write mine. Please be mind, all what I want from informing this is presently sharing to perhaps we all can learn from these embarrasses stories. We all in the same boat so-called Indonesia.

It was in 2007, I drove a friend of mine to Soekarno’s airport, which was originally from Australia. In the same day we went to Immigration Office in South Jakarta for her overstay visa. She paid for four days overstay which was actually she just had overstay only two days. Wondering she had to pay 4 days, she asked me curiously: “Why do I have to pay four days?” 

I myself honestly had no clue why she had to pay four days in fine instead of two days. When I asked this to the immigration officers (I still remember their name), they said it just in case if she could not go on time. 

They knew already that she would go on the same day as she showed off her ticket to them, however in uncomprehending in this matter she paid the four days fine in total 80 dollars. 

After she paid 80 dollars she got a kind of letter in an envelope that informed her overstay payments. Soon after I drove her to airport and waited her until she was off.

Two days later she sent me email informing what had happened in the boarding pass. She said that she had been asked by an immigration officer in airport for some money in terms of her overstay. Although she had already showed prove of the visa payment, he stubbornly asked money. 

As she didn’t want to miss the flight, undoubtedly she gave straight away her left rupiah from her wallet. As soon as I finished reading it I called the immigration office in regard to my friend incident. It was absolutely peeve me off, and certainly for her.

At the end of her email, she said jokingly in bahasa: “Indonesia suka korupsi, eh?”

I know, you know, we all know.

3 Common Technical Problems on iPad2

Thursday, January 05, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

image: Apple
Phuiff, new device isn't always a good thing particularly when facing with technical problems. For the past of three weeks since I bought this device I got some problems already on my new iPad. Usually, this always happens to new user, even sometimes happens to old user as well.

Luckily, the iPad user guide is very handy to solve some technical problems, but... some people just don't like reading textbook *just like me - so sometimes its not really helping.

However, you might meet a disaster that can make your iPad problems worst if you take instructions from unknown sources. It happens to many iPad users and.... almost to me as well. So ensure (even you dislike to read textbook) to look at it only on Apple site.

My problems on iPad are very common problems that usually happens to many iPad users. Here are the three common technical problems on iPad (remember to read the iPad user guide to know whats wrong with your iPad):

Bluetooth 


I've been trying to connect the Bluetooth from my iPad to my notebook for hour and hour, in aimed to transfer files, but it got me mad as I still didn't find the solution! I read the iPad user guide for a while but didn't really follow the instructions, until finally I failed looking information on another sources. I then, willy-nilly, forced myself to read the iPad user guide.

And its just simply... Bluetooth on iPad is not for transferring files!

Its built to connect your iPad with other devices i.e. keyboard, headphone. First problem is solved now.

Syncing iTunes with computer


Like the first problem, I had no idea what I must do to sync iTunes with my computer. Again, didn't read the iPad user guide carefully, so I surfed on another sources instead. Well, I went to forum discussion on Apple website, but too many people gave different ideas (so a bit dangerous if you follow one of the instructions as different problems would need different solving).

And if I'm not mistaken, I don't think on the iPad user guide tells you about installing the iTunes before syncing your computer to iPad. This is what some iPad users don't really know. When I read a discussion on the forum discussion on Apple website, some users who have problem with syncing don't know about the install.

She thought that she only need the iTunes installed on the system (on iPad).

So, if you have problem with syncing iPad to your computer, then you need remember: Have your iTunes installed on your computer? 


Go to website apple, click iTunes and see the latest version. Follow the instructions - it might take a bit longer. Ensure both your devices are plugged.


Cannot connect to iTunes


This is the most common technical problem on iPad user. When I Google cannot connect to iTunes, dozens websites come out about the issue. I aground on a website where iPad users have the problem with caanot connect to iTunes, and again many of them give different answers.

That's not the worst thing yet. Some people who follow the answer have found their data iPad destroy from their iPad... and I was one of them.

Luckily, not all the data has been erased from my iPad - just one application. Lesson one: be very careful taking advice from strangers.

Here are the typical answers that most people give:

1. Go to Apps store, sign out and then sign in again: I did this but didn't work.
2. Resetting the network. Go to General, resetting, resetting network: Still didn't work.
3. Disabled restriction. General, disabled restriction, enter four passcode: I forgot the password, so I left it for  moment. Ten times fail entering the password will erase all your data from iPad.
4. Restore. You need to connect to your computer to restore your iPad. Go to the iPad user guide for the detail how to do it. It will take approximately an hour to restore: it worked a while for me, but then the problem appears again.

Until last night, I was able to connect the iTunes again. Whether server iTunes busy or it just sometimes problem with the iTunes - however, the problem is solved now with unknown reason.

Getting To Know iPad2

Wednesday, January 04, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Image from Apple
This will be my new discussion that I'm gonna add on my label blog. As I'm a new user and sometimes having trouble when using this device - so this kinda give me idea to discuss on my blog.

If you're iPad user, you might not take my writing for your solution technical problems, go to legal website Apple instead. For more information about how to use iPad please go to iPad user guide.

Apple offers different GB capacity on the new iPad, and supported with or without 3G as well as Wi-Fi. I would prefer to take iPad that has 3G. Depending on what capacity you like to carry, the one with 3G in 16GB would cost €629 (Rp 7,5 millions), and without 3G €499 (Rp 6 millions).

Considering the price isn't really much different, iPad with 3G would probably better. Its also very handy with 3G as you don't need worry looking for Internet connection if you need direction from map application.

Alright, now I want to share how to setting up your new iPad - it just takes 15 minutes to set up and its very easy!

First thing first, always read any information about the product. Ensure you follow all the instructions before you turn on/use your iPad. Too early mistake can be fatal for your expensive device ^^.  Before I take the device out of its box, I was first looking for catalogue about the product.

It doesn't require the device need to be charged first (usually some notebook, phone, laptop are required to be charged for at least four hours before using it). So I carefully took the device out of its box and turned on my new iPad ^^.

Slide (with different Languages)


The turn on button located in on top of  the iPad. Press the turn on button for few second, and once you turn on the iPad it will appear an instruction Slide (I didn't realize that I had to slide it so I waited for an hour ^^).

The iPad support many languages so you can chose your native language to set up your iPad profile.

Network


You will be asked for network setting. Add your network and entered the password if it's required.

Choosing Application for storing/backup


I chose iCloud to back up and store my files and media. You can ignore this by choosing the existence backup or store, like iTunes for example (I can't really remember ^^).

Setting up Apple ID


All iPad users will be asked to have Apple ID. This is  will be used if you want to download any applications from apps store or some purposes.

If  your new iPad has completed set up then next step is just enjoying all features that Apple offers on your iPad ^^.

Standoff By Sandra Brown

Wednesday, January 04, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Add caption
This is the first book of Sandra Brown that I'm not really crazy to read it. It was nearly four months to finished this book. In case any Sandra Brown's big fans curious about what its story about - I will give a bit review about the story.

As like in another Sandra Brown's books, she represented a female hero on Standoff story, a TV reporter who coincidentally trap on a taking of hostages in a shop while she's on the way for her holiday.

The scenery went more dramatic as it involved FBI, a daughter of a wealthy man in US and fugitives.

Even more dramatic when they found out that the daughter of the wealthy just in time to give birth - this the most dramatic scenery on the story of Standoff.

Although I'm not crazy about this book, I still enjoy reading the book.

New Year Resolution 2012

Sunday, January 01, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbours, and let each new year find you a better man.  ~Benjamin Franklin~

I don't actually make a plan to have new year resolution, but it come to my mind when I coincidentally put a status on Facebook, and buddy of mine alluded about new year resolution.  As many people have one so it kinda influence me to make one too, so I then set it on my note iPad to have one.

I honestly don't do them all - well, I do the first do-resolution of list on the first, I think, two or three months, but then got bored very easily. I don't know how to keep going, or at least to keep it a bit longer - and I'm not sure if there people can do the new year resolution till the end.

However, I want to share ones of my new year resolution 2012 on my blog:

Slimmer and healthier

photo source: Hyatt
I feel like not exercising at all like two years ago, so I put go to gym often on first list of my new year resolution. Since I do diet my weight reduce 4 kg. 

I'm happy enough but still not reaching to my goal. I try to do it slowly as I have been missing a healthy life for the two years. 

When I talk about slimmer, I don't mean getting slimming in the cons way *taking short cut to get slimmer - so don't go crazy when you see a slimming woman on the ads: be realistic instead of taking risks.

I did that once before when my weight shockingly raised to 5 kg - the heaviest weight I ever have is 54 kg, but I felt the side effects straight after taking slimming pill, in fact that according to its script description the contains ingredient is made from herbal. Since then I try to be more careful about it.  I avoid any slimming pills product! 

Healthier Mind

photo source: Ejlelie
What happens in Ireland today is very distressing life. News tells about the fall of government, and sounds hopeless. 

I can say to have healthier mind in Ireland like right now is not easy thing to reach. But we like it or don't, we must face it. So I must consider my mental health into serious issue as otherwise my brain won't work in healthy way.

My first plan to have reach good and health mind is try to relax *I put too much pressure on myself sometimes about a thing - even just listen to a new, especially about bad news.

Secondly, I avoid negative people. But off course, I still be nice with them. Negative people have very strong influence even though they don't voluntarily spread their negativity, but even so just think of them make you crazy, so better no contact with them.

More active in Society

I don't like to excuse myself why I've been so passive in a community. I love being active, taking part in the community activity or organisation, but....

Here I am, in country with individual life style. Western country has different style, in everything, to...my home. I try... I always try, but somehow just a bit hard to keep positive.

Anyway, I won't surrender with the situation or dozens excuses - I must keep going.


Keep Blogging and Writing

Photo source: Thomas
Writing is a good way for me to express a thing, and I thing for many people too. I've been disabled comment on this blog due to some reasons, but this year, 2012, I will open it again.

I'm not such an expert in literature, but I enjoy writing very much. Not a crazy books reader, too - but enjoy reading books. 

Someone said if you want to be good writer then try to be good reader. 

I have more than three blogs, and I very rarely visit other people's blog. So this beginning of year I try to visit them so I can learn different styles of writings.


I hope I can do the four list of my new year resolution *and I'm not sure if I have more than that. For now, I think better if I just have little plan or few so I can see if I can do them all.

Happy new year 2012.

Nice saying shows your character but that doesn't mean you can criticize. You can still do both in nice and polite way.
