Hi everyone!

on past early february Im so glad to know that Miao will publish his second book. I know it by searching on his first book MPHonline.com and accidentally spot at "Author Collection" section and it shows ...

then I jump to his second book page. but it said that will publish on February 28th, 2017. And so I sent a direct message to the author on instagram and he CONFIRMED that he will publish his second book but he was not sure the fixed date publishing.

Yay I dont know why I'm so happy to know there will be 2nd book of Miao though I must import it from Malaysia or buy direct to mph offline store when I visit Kuala Lumpur.

[UPDATED]
Finaly I have a chance come to Kuala Lumpur (again) to get this book before his 3rd book release :p (you can read my trip on next post). As usual I tell my friend first before arrival if we can catch up then. But when he know the reason I come to KL this time, he offer to get signed book for me cos Jian is his friend too. hahahaha I can't believe it omg so nice of him. He said that Miao come regularly to KL so he ask Miao' time to catch up to get my book signed (and his 2 book also).

Daniel and Miao manage to meet on 7/8 November 2017. And when the day is coming I'm so excited though cant see him in person cos my trip is on 10-12 November 2017 so sad TT3TT

Private book signing. Capture by Daniel. Thank You :D

Daniel send me that picture on instagram dm. Suddenly everything's turn out great hahaha. I never admire someone like this before or the right one is I never admire someone except my boyfriend :p

Got his sign and his hand drawn too yey yey thanks again :p

What's inside the book? Let's do a quick review . .
What's inside? His comic of course hahaha. Just kidding. Wait! though I'm just kidding or not the book contains his comic anyway. Okay skip this. Personally, after done read it 2 times, I prefer his vol.2 book. Compare with vol.1, the second one has detail on the graphic, especially background on every special page, and expression of each character more lively imo hehe. Okey next. The stories are more funny and different (of course). Well, he include family story too in the beginning but it less than vol.1, yaa maybe just complimentary cos I think vol.2 story is special for his friendship story. There are more  easy fresh jokes inside I like it. He know how to bring back old memories but feel so nowadays (Indonesian ppl said : kekinian) cos when I read it I only imagine nowadays background then a bit shocked when I see his old photo on Pg.108 haha I mean the surroundings not him :p Just realize that all of his class stories setting on that very retro class room. Okay that's all quick review from me. And the conclusion is vol.2 is better.

Spoiler alert!
Daniel said that Miao will release his 3rd book next mid year. Yeah don't too rush into print ya Miao. I need manage time to attend your book talk or maybe do a private book signing with Daniel again :p

Disclaimer :

Pengalaman ini dialami oleh my one and only man, Maskhur (difollow yah ignya hehe), tapi secara tidak langsung aku juga ikut merasakan bagaimana prosesnya karena aku juga ikut andil dalam mensuppport kegiatan positif ini.

Sepertinya berawal dari kesengsem liat box kotak makan yang beda dari makanan yang biasa dia beli. Terus ada ide bikin usaha olahan ayam sendiri terus di packing pakai kotak tadi. Aku pun penasaran seperti apakan kotak yang memberi pencerahan kepada pacarku ini dan setelah ditunjukin fotonya ternyata hanya berupa kotak putih biasa sodara-sodara! Masi mending kalo ada sticker atau kotaknya di print jadi fullcolor branding usahanya eh lha ini kotak putih saja bisa ngasih pencerahan duh MasyaAllah luar biasa. Cuman bedanya emang sih lebih kokoh dari pada kerdus makan selametan. Tapi oh my god awalnya aku kira designnya unik nih beda dari yang lain hahahaha.

Okelah support terus pacar aku satu ini selama jalannya bener. Dapet segala keperluan yang dibutuhkan untuk membuat usaha. Dan tentunya branding super kece wajib aku lakukan terhadap usaha rintisan ini. PAWON BU TUN. Well namanya jawa banget dan sederhana. Ya ga masalah sih selama gampang di inget dan ngena banget di konsep usaha ini. Mari kita skip cerita branding pawon bu tun ini di postingan yang lain.

Then setelah semua siap. Dia mulai apply via web untuk jadi partner go-food. Udah lengkap kan ini itu. Karena di web jelasin kalo bisa apply tanpa harus ke kantor (ke kantornya pas sign kontrak aja). Dapet notif email suruh nunggu 2 minggu buat prosesnya. Kok lama banget? Ah mungkin yang daftar banyak. Oke kami nungguin sampe 2 minggu tapi ga ada notif lagi. Dia telpon CS Gojek Jakarta cuma di respon yang intinya "Nanti kami tanyakan ke Gojek Semarang" kayak gitu mulu. Terus karena dia almost give up, aku coba tanya temen aku yang kebetulan kerja di sana. Sebenernya mau tanya dari awal, tapi karena udah kelanjur daftar via web jadi kami nunggu kepastian via web itu dulu. Daann jawaban temen aku adalah "Kalo nunggu aja ga bakal di proses" (kami nunggu karena prosedur nya kan suruh nunggu 2 minggu) So jadi selama ini usaha kami daftar via web sia-sia gitu artinya? Dia bilang kalo berkas udah lengkap dan siap bisa langsung ke kantor aja. OHMYGOD!! Why why why?? Tapi makasih banget sama temen aku udah ngasih pencerahan, kalo ga mungkin udah give up atau masih nungguin sampe tahun baru hiks. Terus aku dapet contact personnya divisi Go-Food sebut aja Kak A. Diawal Kak A ini respon banget. Udah gitu kan atur janjian mau ke kantor buat apply. Tapi lama kelamaan Kak A ini semakin cuek dan "ga melayani" customer banget. Tapi ga apalah demi Pawon Bu Tun satu orang ga berarti hahahaha *ketawa sambil ngaca*

Tiba hari H janjian sama Kak A. Sebelumnya di chat Kak A sempet bilang suruh bawa MENUnya. Nah dia nangkepnya sih menu makanannya, tapi aku nangkepnya tuh menu daftar menu gitu. Udahlah dari pada ribut tetep bawa aja itung-itung sample. Udah prepare ini itu. Udah siap lah pokoknya.

Sampe deh di Kantor gojeknya. Tanya ke Satpam luar gitu dia berasa di lempar sana sini. Bilangnya suruh kesana (kesana mana coba? ke laut? hahaha) udah kan terus skip sampe nemu divisi Go-Food. Dia masuk ternyata udah ada banyak yang antri. Isi form dulu yang kurang lebih hampir sama seperti di web tapi eh tapinya lupa bawa bolpen. Si pacar aku ini ngerasa CS Go-Food punya bolpen dan tadinya mau pinjem tapi malangnya nasib dia, boro-boro dipinjemin yah tapi dijawab pake kalimat yang sedikit merusak mood di panasnya terik matahari. Udah ya si abang udah down moodnya karena satpam dan CS nya ga ramah sama sekali (katanya). Buru-buru pengen kelarin semua hari itu. Then udah kelar di kasih tau kalau proses muncul di aplikasi makan waktu kurang lebih 5 hari kerja. Oke kelar brarti kan ya urusan daftar ini. Pulanglah dia bersama adik laki-lakinya dengan membawa pulang kembali "menu" yang kemarin suruh dibawa hehehe (pikirnya dibawa itu karena emang suruh dibawa dan sekalian buat ucapan terima kasih ama Kak A dan crew Go-Food Semarang), tapi karena ngeliat juga yg antri tadi juga ga ada yang bawa "menu" 

foto cover masih default banget, foto menu juga masih kosong T3T

Nunggu lagi nih 5 hari. Eh tapi 2 hari kerja udah muncul aja nih di aplikasi. Seneng banget dong pastinya tapi foto-fotonya masih foto default jadi harus kirim foto biar diupdate. Chat lagi dah sama Kak A buat kirim foto-foto biar diupload ke aplikasi. Tapi sampai sekarang ZONK banget ga ada update sama sekali untuk foto. Tapi Alhamdulillah sudah masuk ke Go-Pay Delivery Promo setelah muncul macam-macam spekulasi kenapa ga masuk ke free delivery.

Jadi saat ini kami hanya menunggu update foto dari pihak Go-Food dan sembari menunggu dari teman-teman Semarang Area buat order :p

Kritik dan Saran untuk Go-Jek Semarang :

1. Satpam area gedung kurang membantu banget. Boleh dong bicaranya lebih sopan sama masyarakat. Aku di ceritain temen yang kebetulan tanya ke satpam cara daftar Go-Food seperti apa, ehh malah dapat jawaban yang bikin mood turun dan males ke sana lagi. Temen aku usahanya banyak dan niat mau daftarin Go-Food tapi karena ada satpam yang ga membantu sama sekali jadi dia males buat balik ke Kantor Go-Jek Semarang

2. CS Go-Food sedikit kurang ramah. Kata dia lebih ramah banget di CS pusat sewaktu telpon dulu.

3. Boleh deh dibikin nomer antrian gitu. Yang sederhana pakai kertas dinomerin terus dilaminating gitu juga bisa kan yaa. Biar ga ngandelin ingatan siapa yang antri duluan.. ya kalo inget hahaha kalo lupa gimana dong?

4. Mohon untuk Go-Food (pusat juga mungkin) untuk update toko di aplikasi boleh di alihkan ke owner masing-masing kah? karena ribet banget musti lewat CS yang kadang ga respon gini. Jadi misalnya kayak jualan online biasa gitu upload jualan udah simpel.

Oke sekian curhatan tentang pengalaman daftar jadi partner Go-Food versi Semarang. Mungkin pengalaman setiap orang berbeda yah. Mungkin juga waktu pacar aku apply ke kantor CS nya lagi pms atau gimana, atau mungkin bukan "harinya" dia jadi agak sulit. See you updatean selanjutnya yah !

Hai Agustus!

Ada yg namanya Agus lagi baca postingan aku? hahaha

Bulan ini aku ada banyak request dari client buat design matprom bertemakan Mas Agus. Jadi yang namanya Mas Agus (pokonya ada agus-agusnya) bakal ada promo menarik. Mainstream sih tapi lucu hahaha.

Oke mari kita skip curhatan awal Agustus ini.

Seperti review sebelumnya, barang yang aku review ini murni pengalaman pribadi yah jadi ga ada unsur promo atau apapun (soalnya ga dibayar buat promoin :p) So, aku dapet paket pond's ini dari Home Tester Club secara GRATISS alias FREE. Kok bisa? ya aku kurang tau prosedurnya seperti apa, cuma mereka hanya akan mencari member yang benar-benar cocok untuk produk yang akan dikirim (taunya waktu isi survey nya itu), dan tentunya dengan banyakin share email atau post facebook produk yang udah di apply.

Pertama kali liat kotaknya aku baca ada klaim mampu menyamarkan noda bekas jerawat lebih cepat. Well aku adalah salah satu orang yang ga percaya product drug store bisa menyamarkan noda jerawat lebih cepat dalam waktu 7 hari. Apalagi dengan harga yang super terjangkau oleh anak sekolahan sekalipun. Kalo disuruh beli sih AWALnya aku ga bakal beli soalnya ya itu TERLALU MURAH buat nyamarin noda wkwkwk (bukan sombong lho yaa, kamu pun pasti bakal lebih percaya sama produk mahal.. ya kaann? :p) Tapi karena ini dikirimin gratis ya kesempatanku untuk membuktikan klaim pond's itu.

First trial, teksturnya sama kayak produk ponds pada umumnya, aroma juga ponds banget. Tapi pas apply ke muka langsung amaze karena berasa pake bedak dingin. Kulit wajah jadi matte abis ga ada kilap-kilapan. Terus aku tumpuk concealer lalu BB Cream/Foundation (tapi medium cover dan teksturnya ringan) tiap hari aku dandan kayak gitu buat kerja dan kalo jalan aja sih kadang aku skip pake concealer (karena mahal dan mau hemat concealernya) hasilnya berkat pake ponds adalah wajah aku lebih lama kilapnya :p wuihh seneng dong, iya seneng lah first impression udah mengesankan gini.

Then aku telatenin sampe bener-bener 7 hari. Karena review juga wajib pakai minimal 7 hari. Daannnn jeng jeng jeng jeeenggg hasilnya lumayan banget.... at least ngefek lah di muka. Langsung takjub sama ponds satu ini.. dan sekarang udah repeat 1x nih.

Dan Alhamdulillahnya lagi aku menang review terbaiknya hometester yeayy.. dapet gift 2 product lagi dan 1 cute cosmetic pouch seperti di awal foto itu. Terus karena aku punya tetangga yg sepertinya punya masalah yg sama jadi aku kasih dia 1 product buat cobain ajaibnya ponds ini.. kita tunggu minggu depan nih ngefek ga di muka dia. karena kan perawatan gitu cocok cocokan juga yah. diaku cocok di orang lain belum tentu hehe orang kan beda-bedaaa

Buat kamu yang pengen dapetin sampel produk GRATIS dan FREE dikirim ke alamat kamu, bisa banget kepoin Home Tester Club . Atau komen di postingan ini kalau ada pertanyaan (barangkali bisa bantu jawab :p)

Hello friends!

Kali ini aku pengen posting progress aku setelah pakai medina beberapa kali. Buat yang belum tau, aku sengaja pakai kefir mask ini karena personal reason yah bukan karena pengen nyoba atau iseng lebih lengkapnya bisa read post aku sebelumnya gimana perjalananku bermula *ceileehh*

Masker organik yang terbuat dari fermentasi kefir di susu kambing ini bisa kalian beli di trusted reseller terdekat di kota kamu dengan harga yang sama dengan kamu beli di pusat. Kalo boleh saran sih mendingan beli lewat reseller aja karena lebih terjamin isinya, bukan berarti beli di pusat ga terjamin. Maksud aku disini adalah terjamin kondisi paketnya. Dulu aku selali beli di reseller Semarang namanya mba Eni. Cuma terakhir ini aku nyoba beli lewat tokopedia.com karena emang ada promo potongan ongkir 20rb hehehe :p Daaannn emang rasa cemasku terbukti. Pertama, pihak JNE yang ngarang abiss. Paket aku tujukan di alamat kantor yang sampai seharusnya hari sabtu sore maksimal karena kirimnya wajib pake service YES (Yakin Esok Sampai). tiap jam aku cek resi eh pas jam 3 aku liat status delivery nya TUTUP!! Astagaa aku masih di kantor lho waktu itu kenapa mas kurir seenaknya laporan ke sistemnya tutup T3T terus setelah komplain ke JNE sekitar satu jam kemudian kurir datang. Kedua, setelah paket aku terima langsung aku masukin freezer di kantor sebentar sambil berberes mau pulang. sesampainya di rumah aku buka maskernya daann BOCOR T3T isinya luber kemana-kemana tapi untung ada plastik besar sebelum plastik individu maskernya sih tapi tetep kelihatannya ga enak dipandang kalo kececer gini huh sebal. Okelah pelajar berharga. Next time aku langsung beli di mba Eni aja huh.

Sukaaa banget sama progress nya. SLOW banget emang tapi sehat rasanya di kulit muka ga berat sama sekali. Nah tapi ingat yah aku juga pakai HIRUSCAR di jeda sekitar 2 bulan itu dan cuma ngabisin 1 tube aja.

Then sekarang nyobain lagi variant jingga yang dengan box design baru nya udah nampang di awal postingan. Alasam nyobain karena mau liat box packaging yang bagus banget tapi karena pengen sekalian ngilangin beberapa bekas jerawat di muka juga sih :p

Nah karena masih progress jadi aku belom post foto-fotonya yah.. tunggu next week lagi aku update postingan ini plus foto progressnya :3

I'm so Happy!! Indonesia was held a super amazing great online sale at year end as usual which often name as HARBOLNAS (Hari Belanja Online Nasional) on 10-12 December 2015. There were so many participant over 140 Indonesia e-commerce. They had their own rule of sale each shop. And one of shop I saw that they increase price first and cut it off on purpose so it looked discounted price. Old trick I knew it.

Then checked out my credit card promo and it said that I can BELANJA GRATIS (shopping for free) with it. No kidding? Of course! They offered a free voucher IDR 120.000 for min. purchase IDR 120.000 hahaha I thought Bilna.com owner was crazy that day *sorry* I never face this kinda sale before it was free I mean FREE. As sale hunter like me that opportunity was super rare, I could not miss this kinda thing. I looked for things that I need more than just a crazy shopaholic (but trust me I'm not a shopaholic).

Bilna.com was not a fashion online shop but it was more like a mommy-kids-house online shop. You still found an outfit for sale but that's for pregnant women tehee and outfit for kiddo available here too was too cute I could not handle it T3T I will buy them soon when I have kid already. But don't be so worry about it. Bilna sell cosmetics, treatment for head to toe, house hold, food ingredients, and decorations and . . . many more just check out their website.

Actually there were two voucher that available for me as a line user and a Mandiri credit card holder. But I only use Mandiri voucher. Line voucher was unable to use cos it had maximum user already. Yeah each voucher had maximum user each day but line was only for 12 December 2015. I have many strategy to use that voucher include stay awake at midnight (over 00:00 am). But when I checkout and type that code my account bank balance was not enough wth I forgot safe my money at bank this month. Hopeless after all this sacrifice I've done I couldn't use it T3T Okay I was so sleepy, my sight trouble lately and sensitive body. See how much I really want it? hahaha too overacting yah :p

Then next morning I tried to repeat my activity use line voucher and fail cos they were on their maximum capacity =3= okay no need to cry cos at least I can use Mandiri voucher 2 times :p Cheated of course *sorry again* buy w different account cos 1 code for 1 account :D

First thing I bought was BB Cream by Canmake and second one was face powder by Coverderm. Handling and shipping process was normal to my first order. It arrived to my house 3 days cos I bought it at 10th December. But the second one was so slow maybe caused by overload of order I dont know. Okay here it is ...

cos BB cream is face powder perfect match tehee~

I knew this book from my friend in KL. He said that he wanna show me a book after he know that I am a art-worker. But unfortunately he totally forgot to bring me that book when we were on a trip to Melaka. But don't be so disappointed because at least he told me the title of that book by Jian Goh aka Akiraceo (I spell it as C-E-O but the right word is K-Y-O hahaha sorry my bad) So is that a book he wanna show me? A comic book based on his miscellaneous experience in his whole life (maybe yaa coz I write this post before my book arrive in my house) on white-yellow with protagonist figure in a cat and his friends on the cover. Basically I love yellow and  cat but that's not the fascination of it that finally make me wanna buy that cute book. 

I'm in love at first read on his blog post : "Why No One Listens to the Photographer?" Dunno why that post make me more kepo[1] to his blog. I dive in to his blog and the header was direct me to MPHonline.com the one that I know sell his book online and offer a overseas shipping.

Okay let's take a look at Once Upon a Miao: Stories from the Other Side of Malaysia on sale at RM 27.92 (I got 10% off and I use my new user promo-code 20% :p) and they offer free shipping but not overseas of course. Ship to my country cost RM 35.30 + handling fee RM 3.53. So total I bought this book with RM 66.75.

But why overseas shipping always be like this? T3T maybe it will arrive in my house when his book release hahaha lebay[2]

[update October 1st, 2015]
Got letter from post office on my work table at home which turns out that my orders have arrived and can be taken immediately. Yeah my order which mean Miao book!! Yay I'm so happy! can't wait to pick it up tomorrow. Ohya I have to pay about IDR 7.700 or equals to ± MYR 2,2 for repacking service.

[update October 2nd, 2015]
Okay Miao book has been officially belongs to me. I couldn't bear to tear the plastic wrap actually but I must read that book so I did it.

see? I got 2 bookmarks tehee what a lucky girl!

[update October 4th, 2015]
In this book, he write his experience with his gang in majority that happen in his beloved hometown, Kuching located in Borneo, other side of Malaysia called Sarawak. Kuching means cat in english maybe cos they have many cat statue in the city center tehee. He had story about his family too for ± 94 pages *half book actually* but why I think the gang story is dominated this book haha maybe cos they have more funny and enjoyable story than his fams cos my fams life is like *almost* same with him hahaha not much different though I just have 1 older brother and I not a big fans of noodle. And also I have a typical Chinese dad too just like his dad who "doesn't like with something that doesn't make much money". I'm a art-worker as my main job and my dad forbade me to be art-worker at first but nowadays he doesn't care what I do anymore tehee he looks like give up on his stubborn daughter because . . . wait what? why I'm telling my fams life, Okay back to the topic . . .

This book is one of his dream realization. One of my favorite part is story with his popular-kid-in-class friend, Mus. Yea there so many favorite part with the gang like "The King Game" (167) I never play that game before so maybe it will be in my list when I hangout with my friends. Many stories in this book remind me when I was at his age did many crazy thing with gang and didn't afraid of anything hahaha.

I never get bored read his book *3 times in 2 days* though there're some flat stories tehee but it's okay Miao is too cute to be ignored. So if you a comic fans; a person who like to draw; have a typical chinese dad; or miss the day with your buddies, you can make this book as your reminder so let it be in you books collection. I hope it will be available in Indonesia soon cos my friends also interest with this kinda book. But wait . . . lemme take a selfie :p

while waiting the chef prepare my dish

Dinner w Miao at Pazzo Pancake. いただきます~

Dessert time! w Miao too :p Ps : Sorry for the picture. Forgot to bring my camera in bag. Maiku! T3T

Uhm you know Ka? I heard that he will have a booktalk and book signing in KL this 17-18 October. Maiku! I want it too please doodle in my book. Too bad *but still good sih* my job is full till this end of year. Can't leave it more than 1 day T3T

well ngakak level tinggi sampe udah hafal ceritanya masih aja ngakak ga brenti-brenti. coba deh tonton film thailand comedy horror judulnya "Pee Mak Phra khanong" film yang di bintangi sama si ganteng mario maurer sama 4 sekawan phobia booster, Ter, Aey, Shin, Puak. Aseli dah yang ga punya selera humor pun bakal meringis. very very recommend lah.
