".....Tetapi Allah telah menimbulkan cintamu kepada iman dan menjadikan iman itu indah dalam hatimu. Dan menimbulkan kebencian kepada kekafiran, kefasikan dan kedurhakaan. Mereka itulah orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk. "  
(Al-Hujuraat : 7)

The most important thing about research is to maximize impact.

Kalender Baca 2014

Terinsipirasi dari tulisan Lala, saya juga jadi ingin membuat kalender baca sendiri. Buku-buku yang ada di kalender ini adalah buku-buku lama yang belum sempat saya baca. Semoga saya bisa lebih semangat membaca, ya.

Bagaimana dengan kalender baca versi-mu?

Salam Baca,

Chandini

Perbedaan antara orang mukmin dan orang kafir adalah orang mukmin tidak bingung menurut kehendak pemiliknya dan tahu pasti siapa yang melindunginya. Sementara, orang kafir bingung menuruti kehendak pemilik-pemiliknya dan tidak tahu siapa pelindungnya.

"Thesis Kelar, Kita Nikah"

"Thesis Kelar, Kita Nikah"

"After Thesis Finishes, We Get Married"

Yes..yes.. this is the new version of "Disertasi Kelar, Kita Nikah". So, hopefully, this is gonna be our motivation to finish thesis, dissertation, or whatever-you-name-it.


Thesis-ing Rocks  ;)

Dear Diary,


January has finished. I haven't succeed to wake up early, study at 3 AM, and do all house chores in proper time. I hope February will be better. I hope i can love PhD more.



PS: I feel so lonely these days




Love,
Chandini

Aku rasa kita memerlukan stapler.. Untuk menyatukan hati, agar melekat.. dan terpadu satu sama lain. 

Incredibly Beautiful

"Karena mendapatkan PhD di umur 24 tahun adalah sesuatu yang indah"

"Cuz getting PhD by 24 years old is incredibly beautiful"

Research is about solving problems, not avoding them.

Thank You!

I should have posted this since long, my writing was rewritten by somebody for her blog. It's always a pleasure and proud when others quote your work!

Do We Have Mission?

Pisces. Creative and imaginative. Somehow, i see it easily on my idol, Steve Jobs. This is not about zodiac-promoting but i really see it on Steve. He is creative that he can create the first beautiful typography for Mac. He is also imaginative that he can create Pixar, the most successful animation film company. But, the most important thing, he has strong intuition about what he has to do. He believes in his heart, totally.

This doesn't have any connection. But these questions popped out in my mind, while i was thinking about this piece.
"Do you believe that each of us had mission? That we have mission sent for us. How if Steve Jobs didn't drop out, would we have the first Mac book  in the world? If Einstein did not find the theory of E= MC² and would the world just don't know about it? Do you believe that we are intended to be something? That we are meant to be something?"

PhD or not PhD..

Sebuah pembicaraan menuju kolej Kachi, UUM.


Lelaki 1: "Ih, aku mah nggak mau PhD..Master aja.."

Lelaki 2: "Ada caranya..langsung PhD.."

Lelaki 3: "Memang belum ada di Indonesia.."

Lelaki 2: "PhD itu kalau bisa sebelum umur tiga puluh.."



Gue yang mendengar pembicaraan: "PhD or not PhD.... I'm still PhD."


(menghela napas panjang)

"Kalau Allah tidak menyukai orang kafir lalu kenapa Allah menciptakan orang kafir?"

I Wish I Could..

I wish i could come now. x'(
