struggling dreams

Hello! thanks for visiting my blog... The language used in this web are mixed english and Indonesian, if you don't understand bahasa Indonesia, you probably like to read all english content here. Enjoy your life!

some social networking sites offers users to choose "it's complicated" to express their current relationship status in their profile which are not so easy to describe. Sure this makes a lot of speculation to anyone who view the profile, especially the one who has relations to the profile owner. Imagine a girl find out that her spouse change the relationship status profile from "in relationship" to it's complicated". Sometimes it just like a virtual engagement ring (teenagers) heh!?!

This post is my contribution to the term "it's complicated"

case number one: almost mr. sunshine

you might have the thought that an ex male magazine sex editor wouldn't need much to acquire experience in finding woman for a night or two, at least i used to think that way. Later, I found otherwise. The hassle is always there. Last night I went to a party with a friend who meet so many he knew well. Get mingle, long-lost friend, and other social terms happened, he finally admit that better comes out with the "it's complicated" than to explain.

how do you explain that you re in "it's complicated"

This post is about a very good investment opportunity that you might find it very fruitful.

One of top Indonesia businesses is Agribusiness. With million of acres land of forests and farms across the archipelago, Indonesia is one of the richest country in terms of natural resources. Beside natural gas and oil, palm plantation considered as one of fastest growing and healthy national industry. The industry also involved billions of investment from neighbor country, Malaysia (no.1 CPO world supplier). The fast-growing plantation also need better from supporting services such as Land Clearing, Seeding, etc. This featuring-tasty business was none of my interest nor competency at all, however the opportunity and fast ROI were got me and my brother involved.

My brother was way beyond me. He invested billions rupiah on Land Clearing Business since 2003 as a passive investor, now he is running his own Land Clearing company with 100% investment come from his pocket. Where am I in this story? He ask me to sit in his company as CFO and I also represent the only other investor which you will know how later in this post.

The company name is Berdikari Bangun Persada (BBP). It runs land clearing projects in East Kalimantan, near Samarinda. The projects are working on more than 20.000 acres, come from local and Malaysian company. (more…)

When NET entered brand event promo realm last year, we were helped a lot by a company which specialized on event promotion management named PT Missi Idea Selaras. The company lead by mr. Eka Putra Bhuwana, who were very persistence on this business. Their service range start from consultation, raffle management, direct mailing, prize distribution to call center for the promotion program.

I say Missi is the nation-wide leading company of this business which is only a few players can bring those quality services while the industry (ad - communication) tends to place these works on low level priority.

Partnership between Missi and NET are concluded these prominent projects:

• Coca-Cola World Cup Event Promo - 2006
• Softex - Robbie Williams Live in Concert (Auckland) - 2006
• Listerine Ramadhan Event - 2007 (ongoing)

The partnership will enter the next level this year when together with experienced call center company named PT Mitra Solusindo Nusantara, committed to form Joint Operation for a new Contact Center Services. Hopefully the infant will be a full CRM company and a legal JV by the end of 2008.

If you are advertising, event organizer, promotion, communication or public relations people, you probably need Missi to do part of your project. Visit their website here.

An Irish girl wants to destruct her school 

Very funny ya…?

Sit in front of me, a close friend facing real deep business problem.. He looks very stressful that he did not say anything during his visit to my office. He even refused when I offered him to order lunch… "I feel numb… don't have passion for food..", he said. I kinda aware of his situation from everyone else but him before. His group of companies which employ more than 200 people in Jakarta and more in Surabaya is going down. No major business case happened since last year so cash flows were running slow and slower. Today, he confirmed what I heard elsewhere, that he already decided to sell the company's 9 level building, as his last resort to keep the business running and all employee stay on board. Frankly, I have such similar problem… I'm not sure wether mine are worse or lighter than his. The outstanding debts are over 1,2 billions which is even me find it so hard to imagine that I have such a huge debt… probably you noticed that I am not a glamorous person who spend a lot on luxury stuff… I don't even have much of anything from my spending… but daily consumption. However, it is not my only concern… the bigger problem is to maintain rational and stay alive… for those who relies on me.

Remember Simon from the American Idol? If you among them who hate Simon, you probably find this video below amusing. In many perspectives, I believe most will agree with my judgement… the humble mobile salesperson who sings opera is very talented and still on the back of my mind, Simon always prepare to discourage the guy…

Combination of his voice and the music were very touching… AMAZING…
