3 Months into Work

3 months later at Dixon Advisory...

I've realised that I quite like the working environment here at Dixon Advisory Canberra. The people are nice and friendly, the work is interesting and can be quite hectic during the peak season but we have our non-peak periods as well, breakfast is provided and overall, I quite like it there.

I'm halfway through my current probation period of 6 months and am still learning something new everyday. I still need to be very proactive and unassuming in my tasks in order to achieve greater and more efficient performance when doing things. I've also started my Diploma in Financial Planning Services 2 weeks back and would be taking 4 subjects for this diploma. It is a self study course where you have access to a physical textbook and some online course material. In order to pass each subject/unit, I will have to pass an assignment and score greater than 85% (I think) for my exam, all this within a time frame of 3 months.

Apart from work, I've been trying to increase my stamina bit by bit to get myself back in shape. I downloaded a running app for my Blackberry and I find it really useful in tracking my performance. In the past 3 weeks alone, I've managed to clock up to 42km in total running distance as well as up to 13km in total rowing distance. My aunt bought a rowing machine 2 weeks back and I find it really helpful in building up my lung capacity as well as my lower back muscle. My best time so far for a 5km run is 23 minutes while my best time on a 5km row is 19 minutes and 30 seconds. I'm hoping to bring this time down my running time to 20 minutes and my rowing time to 18 minutes within the next 2-3 months.

I'll try to snap a couple of pictures over the coming days/weeks/months to make my blog look a little bit livelier. For now, I'm going to head back to my assignment. Got to try and complete as much as I can as soon as I can.

Take care!

Saya Lulus dan Siap Menghadapi Dunia Kerja

“Akhirnya saya wisuda.”

Itulah kalimat yang terucap setelahsekitar 4 tahun 3 bulan mengenyam pendidikan di Universitas Diponegoro. Lulusbukanlah akhir dari sebuah perjalanan karena setelahnya terdapat barisan agendayang harus dilakukan. Entah itu kerja, menikah, atau menjadi pengangguran. Intinyasetelah lulus dari perkuliahan bukan berarti tanggung jawab kita selesai. Adalahsebuah kebanggaan dan beban pula harus lulus dan masuk dunia kerja. Kebanggaan karenaaku bisa membawa bendera Undip ke dunia kerja. Beban karena ekspetasi orang-orang(keluarga) yang (kadang) mengharuskan sebuah standar tersebut.

Tapi ku tak perlu takut. Sebuah perjalananbaru yang menyenangkan akan aku singgahi. Menyenangkan. Pasti menyenangkan!

Aku tak tahu akan berhenti dimanaaku pada akhirnya. Tetapi yang jelas kaki ini akan selalu melangkah ke arahyang tentunya merupakan jalurku.

Dan pada akhirnya akan kukatakan.

“Saya lulus dan siap menghadapidunia kerja.”

San Francisco Vacation Rentals

Ever wanted to travel to San Francisco but lack the budget for the expensive accommodation price tag that comes along with it? Now here's your chance to do so. San Francisco Vacation Rentals is part of Airbnb which is the latest traveling trend by backpackers all around the world. San Francisco Vacation Rentals lets you list (if you're a home owner/renter going for a holiday) or book (if you are a traveler looking for a place to stay) a place within San Francisco.

You get to view pictures of the place you're interested in staying, view feedback by previous travelers, and post your own feedback after your stay. Airbnb facilitates the payment and holds the payment from the tenant for 24 hours after you have checked-in and are satisfied with the place.

Here's a short video clip on how San Francisco Vacation Rentals works:


San Francisco Vacation Rentals currently has over a thousand places to choose from. Ranging from 1 bedroom apartments in the city to huge 5 bedroom houses by the seaside. The whole concept is pretty neat and I would most certainly want to give this a go when I pay my friend a visit in the United States one day.

So if you're planning a trip to San Francisco anytime soon, check out San Francisco Vacation Rentals first before googling for hotels to stay in. You might save yourself quite a bit of cash which you can use to fund other things during your trip.

The Natural Movement is nothing new! Kathleen Cleaver discusses briefly

Black is beautiful. Texture is an awesome thing when we can mentally wrap our hands around our cultural roots. Great conversation regarding some thoughts about it in this clip... Thanks www.wetheurban.com ...
