Get the Wall's Magnum!!! >>> Kejar tuh Magnum!!!

Hahaha... ini crita konyol hari ini. Aku sama temenku si Mithu.
Hahaha... This is silly story for today. My friend, Mithu and Me.

Tau Magnum seeker? Yup, ini adalah istilah yang diberikan oleh pengelola akun MyMagnumID, akun resmi produk es krim Magnum di Facebook dan Twitter, kepada para konsumennya. Lhah... pada kenyataannya, beberapa temenku juga termasuk orang-orang ini. Dan kurasa mereka lumayan gencar lah.
Do you know Magnum seeker? Yup, this is a name that given by  MyMagnumID, official site of Magnum ice cream in Facebook and Twitter for their customer. Unfortunately, there are a lot of my friends too. I think they are really work hard enough to get it.

Haha... itu udah lama juga sih waktu dulu pertama peluncuran es krim keluaran Wall's ini. Dan gak tau kenapa dengan bodohnya kemarin aku menjadi salah satunya. Biasanya aku cuma ketawa geli liat perburuan yang dilakuin temen-temenku. =P
Haha ... It's also a long time already after the first launch. And i do not know whyyesterday I foolishly became one of them. Usually I just laugh when look my friend's hunting .  =p
 
Tadi pas pulang dari kampus kan mood kita berdua lagi jelek tuh, ya udah kita ngeloyor ke kos Mithu sambil ngobrol ngalor ngidul kagak jelas. Pas kita lagi ngomong-ngomong, eh lewat deh tuh mmobil penyetor es krim ke arah toko Rahmat. Kami bertatapan dan berlari mengejarnya. Gilaaa... kalian anak kuliahan euy! Hahaha...
When we end the class, we both still in our bad mood , we've walking to Mithu's boarding house. We talk a lot. Suddenly, Wall's ice cream car pass in front of us and look like it will go to Rahmat shop. We stare at each other and ran after the car. Stupidly... you are college students! Hahaha ...

Kenapa mpek segitu gencarnya?
Di banyak toko, stok es krim Magnum habis. Bahkan, ada minimarket yang sampai menuliskan “Stok Magnum Kosong” karena banyaknya orang yang mencari es krim ini. Istilahnya, pas kita liat di toko ada, kita tinggal buat ambil duit sebentar langsung abis lah.
Why mpek much for the onslaught?
In many stores, Magnum ice cream stock runs out. In fact, there is to write "Magnum stock out" because many people looking for ice cream. It can say, we see in store, we left for the moment take the money in home, and when we back to the store : the ICE CREAM was GONE.
 
Denger-denger sih, itu terjadi karena strategi pemasaran Wall’s untuk mempromosikan salah satu produknya itu. Di samping Magnum pun sangat rajin diiklankan. Pihak Wall’s mengakui kelangkaan ini sedikit banyak terjadi karena strategi pemasaran mereka. Senior Brand Manager Wall’s Magnum PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk Meila Putri Handayani menjelaskan, pihaknya menerapkan strategi paralel. Biasanya, sebelum mulai mengiklankan suatu produk baru, produsen akan menyiapkan dan mendistribusikan produk lebih dulu. Setelah itu, baru si produsen beriklan.
There is a rumor, it's happened because Wall's marketing strategy to promote Magnum products . In addition to the Magnum was very diligent advertised. Wall's recognize thisshortage to some extent due to their marketing strategy. Senior Brand Manager Wall's Magnum PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk, Meila Princess Handayani explained, the instituteimplemented a parallel strategy. Normally, before starting to advertise a new product,producers will prepare and distribute the product first. After that, just themanufacturers advertise.

Tapi, Wall’s justru gencar beriklan sejak awal, meski stok barang belum siap. Meila menjelaskan, hal ini dilakukan lantaran Wall’s ingin menjajal pasar dulu. Maklum, seiring peluncuran varian baru tadi, Magnum juga melakukan rebranding pada produknya menjadi es krim premium dengan harga sekitar 10 ribu rupiah.
However, Wall's precisely vigorous advertising since the beginning, though stocks of goods not ready. Meila explained, this was done because Wall's wanted to try out the market first. Understandably, as the earlier launch of a new variant, Magnum also rebranding its products to ice cream at a price premium of about IDR 10.OOO.

Pas sampai di Rahmat kan masnya lagi nurunin es-es mereka. Hohoho... langsung deh kita tanya ke mbaknya Rahmat. Mithu kemarin udah tanya-tanya--dan mungkin mbaknya juga ngerasa nggak enak. Akhirnya mbolehin kita beli es itu. Pas itu digodain sih sama mas-masnya, mereka bilang esnya udah abis. Huuh... hahaha...
We entered Rahmat shop when the Wall's mans submitted the shop . Hohoho ... immediately, we asked to Rahmat's shopkeeper. Because of Mithu yesterday have asked-- and perhaps the shopkeeper also felt unpolite to refuse--, finally the shopkeeper allowed us to get the ice cream. And the Wall's mans just made joking at us too, said that the ice creams are stock out. Huuh ... hahaha ...

Pulang dapet es, aku pamer sama temenku si Ambar yang lagi main ke kos pacarnya yang kebetulan di sebelah kos Mithu. Yah... abis dipropaganda sama si Mithu sih. Ambarnya malah ngehina dan pamer balik kalo dia pernah makan. Bilang rasanya biasa aja dan mending dibeliin eskrim dengan harga 2 ribu rupiah bisa dapet banyak. Mithu malah ketawa-tawa. Hiiih....Sebel, aku langsung ngacir ke kos Mithu dan mengumpat, "Sampai es krimnya kerasa gak enak, musti itu gara-gara sugestimu ke aku Mbar!"

Pas kita makan tuh es krim. Ehm... menurutku lumayan sih rasanya. Secara, es krim premium gitu. Kita dapetnya Magnum Classic. Bentuk es krimnya kayak gini :
Getting home, I show it to my friend Ambarr who played to his girlfriend's boarding house, a boarding house next to Mithu's boarding house. Well ... Mithu persuade me. Ambar just laugh at me and show off the back if he ever ate. He said it was normal ice cream and it will better to bought ice cream with the price of IDR 2.000, we can get a lot. Mithu even laugh. Hiiih .... recentful, I went directly to Mithu's boarding house and swore, "As the ice cream is fixed not good, it must be because of your suggestion, kiddo!"
When we ate the ice cream. Um ... I think it's still good taste for the premium ice cream. We got Magnum Classic. Form of ice cream like this:

Magnum memang makin dicari sejak Wall’s meluncurkan varian baru es krim ini beberapa waktu lalu, yakni Wall’s Magnum Chocolate Truffle. Jadi, kini ada tiga varian es krim Magnum yang beredar di pasar Indonesia. Selain Magnum Chocolate Truffle, ada juga Magnum Classic dan Magnum Almond. Iklannya sih keren bilangnya pake coklat Belgia. Tapi sebenarnya teknik pembuatannya itulah yang menggunakan teknik Belgia. Dan kurasa rasanya lumayan sih. Enak, lembut dan hmmm... kerasa banget.
Magnum is increasingly sought after Wall's ice cream launched a new variant of this some time ago, the Wall's Magnum Chocolate Truffle. So, now there are three variants of Magnum ice cream in the market of Indonesia. Magnum Chocolate Truffle addition, there is also a Magnum Classic and Magnum Almond. I can told you in the ads use Belgian chocolate. But the truth is that the manufacturing technique that uses a technique Belgium. And I think it's pretty taste. Delicious, soft and hmmm ... really good.
 
Ini stiknya... =)
This is the Magnum stick... =)

Languages make our life to be better and meaningful >>> Bahasa Bikin Hidup Lebih Baik & Bermakna

Ini karangan yang aku ambil juga dari aplikasiku. Haha... ini bagian akhir deh kayaknya yang bisa aku masukin lagi. Hoho... aku emang parah dalam nulis. (^__^)a

I get this is one from my essay too. Haha... I think this is the last copy of the essay I can take in blog. Hoho... my bad, my writing skill is bad enough. (^__^)a

PERSONAL STATEMENT: Write a clear and detailed description of your reason why you would like to participate in this English study program; explain how IELSP fits with your previous education/training and your future objectives. This statement should not be a mere listing of facts and should include information about your background education, practical experience, special interests, and your purpose in applying to studying English in the United States. You may also choose to describe any significant influences on your personal and educational development. THIS STATEMENT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR APPLICATION – Please use additional papers if necessary

“Languages make our life to be better and meaningful.”

That is my reason why I want to participate in IELSP. It is unfortunate, there are still many people underestimate the importance of language for their daily conversation, especially for foreign language. The cause came not only from their infrequent use, but also from the wrong methods they got. They do not know how to use the language correctly.

It reminds me about my childhood. I love English since nine years old. Why? When I bought a beautiful hand fan, my mother told me how to read the word in there. “Together”. From that time, I do not know how I can love English. The sound was really good in my ears. But my mother’s skill is not good enough, so she just explained a word or simple words to me.  The problem came when I was teenager. I was educated my elementary school in my village. There was not English lesson in that time. When I entered Junior high school in the regency, I got bad experience. I did not able to follow the lesson. Sometimes I felt good in English, other days I hated it. I hated English than other lessons. But, Mr. Budi, my new guardian teacher changed my mind. English is really good and useful in our life. I started to improve my skills in English. And I learned English from that day with my pleased.

When I entered my senior high school, I met a lot good friend with their good skill in English. I learned more and more from them and English teachers. At the 2^nd grade, I was learned by Mrs. Grace. She is really good in English. She told us about her visiting to other country. And I concluded that English is really useful. English has many differences in every country. Hearing other cultures is really fun. At the 3^rd grade, I learned a lot of fun in English. My teacher, Mr. Ali inspired me about courage in English studying. Be brave to explain about everything in English. You do not need afraid if you made fault. And we learned about courage in practical lesson.

When I graduated my Senior High School, there was an offer to study in Netherland sponsored by Nuffic (Netherland organization for international cooperation in higher education). I passed for the academic requirements in first step. I decided to follow the program. I though I can improve my ability in using English and learn about other culture. When I told family about my decision to get TOEFL test, I was not allowed. They said I was still young to study abroad. I was really sad. I never forget my dreams. I always visit education exhibition and try to find other chance with my beloved friends.

Now, IIEF offer one chance for me. I am glad to know that. The chance to enroll English course in United States is my opportunity. I hope I can improve my ability in using English especially for my Academic purposes. I wrote my final project entitled ““Implementing E-mall Architecture as Networked Information System for Advantaged Marketing of Kampoeng Batik Laweyan” which is written in English. The course will help me to increase my writing skill. I am bad enough in this section. Another benefit, I will have the chance to learn intimately the people in USA. I can share with other participant from other countries too. I also will learn about their cultures. It will enrich my experience and share it in Indonesia. I hope I could take this chance.

Thank You, IIEF.

Boy's Friendship >>> Persahabatan ala Cowok

 

Penting nggak penting persahabatan? Penting lah...

Tersenyum keinget si kecil, Yaya alias Kenthos pas main sama anak tetangga si Rasya. Ceritanya mereka lagi main. Aku yang momong cuma liatin aja. Heran, dua bocah 4 tahun itu lengket-ket-ket kaya adik sama mas aja. Yah... padahal kalo diliat-liat, sifat mereka beda banget. Si Kenthos itu kagak bisa diem sama sekali. Pernah aku tanya pas mau mandiin dia.

"Dik, mulutnya mbok sekali-kali diem. Gak cape ngomong terus?"

Tau jawabannya?

"Aku kan nggak bisa berhenti ngomong, Mbak Nana... Gak bisa diem..."

Jiahhh... bener-bener deh! YangTi (Eyang Putri)ku aja mpek ngekek-ngekek ngedengerinnya.

Hadaaah...

Dia sukanya ngomong. Dan emang pinter ngomong diikuti ekspresi luar biasa pas sama omongannya. Dia sangat berani untuk ukuran anak 4 tahun, tapi cengeng banget juga. Keahliannya ngutak-atik komputer dan alat-alat elektronik. Heran, pernah dia ngubrak-abrik video player kuno milik Kakungku yang kagak pernah bisa diputer lagi. Orang serumah cuma melongo ria pas dia berhasil bikin tuh benda bunyi lagi.

Sementara si Rasya? Dia itu luar biasa pendiem. Manut semanut-manutnya pas dijadiin anak buah sama si Kenthos. Apa aja yang dibilang keponakan kecil cerewetku itu dipatuhin. Ceileee... aku hanya melongo heran nontonnya.

Pernah keduanya saling musuhan--yaaah... musuhan anak kecil ya kayak gitu deh. Bener-bener sampai musuhan dan si Kenthos bikin itu si Rasya nangis-nangis.

Pertengkaran diakhiri dengan ucapan si Kenthos, "Nakal. Engga boleh maen ke rumahku."--aku nggak tau napa nih bocah kalo marah semua orang di larang ke rumahnya.

Sementara si Rasya pulang sambil ditarik-tarik mbahnya, "Mas Yaya nakal..."

Sore itupun ditutup adegan konyol atas pertengkaran dua bocah itu.

Yah... kadang aku miris nonton pilm atawa cuma baca resumenya yang intinya : pertengkaran dua cowok ngerebutin cewek. Saling menjegal dan menjatuhkan. Bahkan ampe mutus persahabatan atawa paling parah saling bunuh-membunuh. Emang sih dari dulu zaman Nabi Adam udah ada yang kayak gitu. Tapi bisa nggak sih bertempur secara lebih damai? Pasti bisa.

Haha... karena pada kasus kedua bocah itu, besoknya...

Kenthos keluar bawa mainan kesayangannya.

Aku tanya, "Mau kemana Dik?"

"Maen ke tempat Dik Rasya."

Begitu kulirik beberapa saat kemudian dia udah ada di rumah sebelah sambil ngomong keras-keras di depan pintu, "Dik Rasyaaa.... Mau main ke rumahku enggak?"

Dan si kecil sebelah langsung melongo lewat jendela, "Mas Yaya... Mau!"

Haha... konyol...

Jadi keinget penggalan cerita yang tak baca tentang persahabatan dua cowok SMA... 

Dhika hanya tersenyum saat Ditya menatap penuh kebencian padanya.

"Loe... Pengecut loe! Gue enggak terima loe yang kalah!"

Dhika memeluk cowok berkacamata itu erat, "Gue seneng loe yang menang."

Dhitya membenci cowok itu seumur hidupnya. Cowok itu sempurna. Hidup Ditya yang tak pernah kalah dalam apapun tapi begitu Dhika datang... hilang semua. Ditya ambisius. Dia tahu dan dia menikmati keambisiusannya itu. Tapi kini dia terdiam saat setelah semua hal dia dikalahkan dan begitu terosesi untuk menang. Kini Dhika membuatnya tak menginginkan kemenangan itu lagi.

"Gue gak bakal kalah lain kali." ucap Ditya yakin.

Dhika tertawa di sebelah telinganya, "Boleh."

Yah.... Persahabatan artinya mungkin bersyukur atas teman yang telah kita dapatkan. Seburuk apapun itu, pasti ada banyak hal baik lainnya...

=D

Love,

Chen
