okay, tulisan ini bukan pembahasan apa itu hiccup dan bagaimana hiccup terjadi secara keilmuan

biasanya ada yang bilang, “ayo tahan napas!”, “dikagetin aja biar ilang…”, atau “ayoo liat atas terus, ke langit-langit”. sebagai orang yang tergolong sering cegukkan dan pernah ngep2an bolak-balik tahan napas, gue terdorong untuk berbagi cara ampuh yang telah gue dapat. I got this tips from my daddy, these are the steps you need to do;

1. teguk air secukupnya dan simpan dimulut, jangan ditelan.
2. tutup kedua kuping anda dengan rapat, gunakan jari telunjuk biar lebih afdol
3. minum dan telan air

TADAAAA!!!! it must be gone within seconds

it works for me! EVERY TIME.

selamat mencobaaaaa 🙂

I’m an amateur, but feel free to watch the video 😉

Isaac Newton

Do you know how this old man formulating the all-time favorite theory?

He was sitting under the trees when read a book at the back yard. Suddenly an apple drop off from the trees and hit his head. Then he started wondering how it happens.

NEWTON LAW

With the high curiousity that newton had, and also his creativity to figure out the theory. The spirits of apple should be transferred into the students around the world.

APPLENARY

APPLENARY is brand for stationary, can be used for study or working activities. Definitely will inspire the learner to keep being creative with the power of APPLE SIPRIT!

Semester 8th is coming to an end, and I’m quite disappointed on why I should be leaving this semester too soon. However, I learned loads things in Creative and Innovation class. Seriously, I never regret loh being a part of this class (kyaa)

Okay, First thing I got from the class is creating the Ideas&Thought. Ideas should be written, then you’ll be remembered by your notes. Better write it online! if you’d like to have a feedback from others.

Business Model, before having this lesson. I wouldn’t have known that I’m quite creative :B The class letting us from having a crazy to the most reliable and implicative ideas to be developed as business model.

Creative ways of thinking, I wasn’t realized that we have formula for being creative, I mean effectively creative. You can check the steps in my previous blog if you want to know (Y).

At this opportunity, I’d like to promote Indonesian cosmetics and skin care products to the International market. Martha Tilaar would be the selected brand at this project.

why?

Basically, Cosmetics and skin care products are the most things bought by almost all the woman in the world. They wouldn’t care how much it cost as long it keeps them stay young, healthy, and beauty. Over the two third population in the world, woman is a good market to be explored.

Martha Tilaar is one of beauty company in Indonesia. They have a wide product and service offered from different market segment. In the other side, Martha Tilaar also has a good value in developing woman and Indonesia Culture. At some point, Martha Tilaar products have a good quality, and comparable with another international products like The Body Shop, Lancome, The Face Shop, and many more

The Innovation

Spa

Spa is one of their specialty, currently they have the best spa in South East Asia, The good potential should be explored more.  Expanding another spa in other countries will be good by delivering Indonesian value.

Culture attachment

The Eat, Pray, Love books and movie is definitely giving a positive impact for Indonesian image, especially Bali. Another products or services with the Bali culture attached on it would be another comparative advantage for Martha Tilaar

Stores

iSetan, Sogo, Metro are some department stores which going world-wide. Their first store are mostly selling the cosmetics, Martha Tilaar should start distribute the products there together with SK-II, Maybeline, Revlon,

Consumer Segment

woman, pleased to keep their body fit by some treatment like massage, spa, or any kind of body parts treatment. Open to new information, and has a high culture awareness.

Customer Relationship

By developing the loyalty and discount program, somehow the customers (woman) will feel like being treated as a queen. Treating them as a queen during the treatment (services) would make Martha Tilaar as their palace. The communication to customers would be adapted regarding the destination country.

Channels

Sogo, Metro, Debenhams, or having Martha Tilaar store in the Malls like once had by The Body Shop

Value

culture approaches and a little touch regarding to woman status in front of world view. 

Iqra, bismirabbika ladzhi Khalaq.. (al-iqra; 1-2)

its written from al-quran., it says, “read it” it means that we need to read (study) what we see around. The thing is, you would never be able to read if its not written.

I like writing, I got easily get inspired and feeling like to write it anywhere (sheet of tissue, the used receipt). I just found out that if we transfered what we write into something typed in the online world, it would be AMAZING!

What the purposes?

Sharing is a nice thing, if you have a single positive matters than you go online to publish it, just imagine how many people would get inspired? how much they will get the positive impacts?

Moreover, by getting online, you would find a feedback, whether its a positive or negative one. Do not fly so high or fall to deep, feedback should keep you stand up and help to develop yourself.

Once you get your things written virtually on the internet, trust me, it wouldn’t stop there. People will reads your writings, you will read others writing as well. see? this is a cycle and you wouldn’t stop gaining your knowledge.

Start by imagining this part;

‘people went googling about a thing, and they found your name, yes your name, as the writer’ nice isn’t it?

The Corps.

another segmented social network!

This network has thecorps.com as their domain. This website can only be accessed by limited people with certain recruitment. The social networks would be giving such a multiple benefit to the users. Once you have a deal with us, We guarantee you a 100% satisfaction!

That would be the short description about The Corps. This special social network is initiated for the ‘Koruptor’ specially in Indonesia. We realized that our crime numbers are highly supported by them. As a ‘K’ people, they would probably feel insecure every time and of course they would pay how much it cost to keep their family safe. For that purpose, we have such a perfect program within The Corps. Management;

The Alibi

We would provide an alibi for you anytime it needed. Alibi can be from a physical evidence like receipt of purchase in particular stores and time.

The Security Network

Being secure is more than just having a strong security guy. All the ‘K’ needs is a back-up! We provide some certain information regarding the safest and the most unreachable place on earth. We’ll prepare your back-up plan!

and many more!

(sumpah demi tuhan semua kontain yang terdapat dalam artikel ini hanyalah bohong belaka, semoga tidak ada yang berniat jahat karena hal ini)

Okay, That’s not a real stuff! However, The Corps. has amaizing business model;

With A clear target customers (the ‘K’ people), we offer security and trust as our value. We have a strong relationship with our customers, the Corps. member has a 24/7 accessed with us. The Corps has a special cooperation with KPK, so it would be easier for us to start the recruitement for members (member should have a history of doing ‘K’ for at least 1.000.000.000 Indonesian Rupiah).

The registered member need to pay their annual membership. During their membership, member can use our programs regarding the security and safety. The Comparative Advantage in The Corps is that the members are able to share their knowledge in the ‘K’ forums, the tagline is you’re not alone!

I went to Phuket Island with some of my Interns fellow, but only me and my Kazakhstan friend were interested with swimming at Nai Yang beach, the almost-private beach for us. 

Nai Yang Beach

Sholphan : Ow, its salty.. the water taste salty! (surprised)

Me : YEAA.. Its sea, of course salty naa..  

Sholphan : No! back home in Kazakhstan, the beach doesn’t taste salty..

Me : You sure? wait.. is the beach, you know the shore, leads to the sea?? 

Sholphan : Well, hmmm.. I’m not sure.

Me : You know, the shore could be the edge of the sea.. or a lake!

Sholphan : Well, I guess this is my first time swimming in the seawater.. 

Me&Sholphan : HAHAHAHAHAHA…

Can’t stop laughing till we need to drown ourself to the water to stop the laugh

-YOU DON’T GET TO 500 MILLION FRIENDS WITHOUT MAKING A FEW ENEMIES-

Remember those words? For me, personally, Its an AWESOME line! Yeah, sometimes I get worried of what people think about me and what I am doing. Here it goes, The Social Network movie’s taglines was really motivate me to keep develop and chase my dream.

the movie about how facebook was invented

The Social Network is an adapted movie from the history of Facebook. It was nominated in a lot of awards (won some couple of them). That’s quite a fast-flow movie, it drained all my concentration to keep up with what Mark was saying during the movie (No other option for me in Malaysia, better listen up carefully instead of read the malayu-substitle. [doh?])

Okay, that’s it!

Before it’s going to the movie review blog, I need to set back to the Mid-term task for Creative Innovation subject. I am going to have some review about facebook and its Innovations.

Technology? Is it a super awesome new technology? Unfortunately, it is not. Facebook is just like another Social Network, they are connecting people and make friends through the internet. Well, yeah.. It is still a technology, and this few lines from the movie teach me about the real-deal of innovation.

Mark Zuckerberg: The grounds are our thing is cool and popular, and Harvard Connection is lame! Wardo, I didn’t use any of their code, I promise, I didn’t use anything! Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn’t owe money to everyone who ever has built a chair. They came to me with an idea, I had a better one. 

Process?? I think I need to tag this post with ‘movie review’, since I will use another lines from the movie to expressing how Facebook innovate their selves according their customers, the users.

“Okay, let me tell you the difference between Facebook and everyone else, we don’t crash EVER! If those servers are down for even a day, our entire reputation is irreversibly destroyed! Users are fickle, Friendster has proved that. Even a few people leaving would reverberate through the entire userbase. The users are interconnected, that is the whole point. College kids are online because their friends are online, and if one domino goes, the other dominos go, don’t you get that?”

YES! They never expect their web going down. I never find facebook went down or having server maintenance even for once. They are considering the entire social experience of college at the first and put them online. Currently, it is already developed to any social experience of EVERYONE in the world. They put attention on simple thing like like-ing in facebook page; they wouldn’t navigate you away from your current page, which always annoys you the most.

This tiny innovation made facebook became the reliable media to post your creation online and get the direct feedback from your friend (as you can put comment into everything on the wall ☺).

Blue indicates the location of Facebook islands

Product?? Name other things you can find beside your page on facebook?! Yes, there are Facebook Group, Event, Fans, and many more. They do really accommodate every users based on their needs. FYI, they give it for free!! if you have just make a new fans page on facebook, they would advertise you at the right corner web for free. They link everything on the wall, youtube video, and your blog, even your old friendster page!

This is what I found very helping. I do some little research through surveymonkey.com for my marketing paper, and surveymonkey offers me to post the survey on facebook. Amaizing right? I mean, spamming email for questionnaire is soooooo last year. facebook? Just type a favor-shout out on your page, then your hundred, or even thousands of your online friends will see you and fill the questionnaire for you :P.

Business Model?? Its just as simple as an advertising, but they got their selves armed with all facilitate the their business according their customers. Privacy features, notes to replace your old blog, which couldn’t tag friends, and many other advantages, were the solution of problems that you might never realize before. Innovation somehow requires a change, and they anticipate the users expectation by the changes. By having 1400 employee across 12 countries in the world, facebook is introducing a new innovation everyday. It’s also noted that anyone can make their own application and spread it in facebook.

Conclusion In brief, I might say that this is a PHENOMENON. Sounds exaggerate, but as the pictures above, facebook is about to conquer the world. They having a good analysis about their customers, then deliver the customers expectation in aright way. Facebook drives the trends. The customers’ involvement during the development process is stimulating others to do some and more innovations everyday.

That’s why I’m saying this is the FACEBOOK AGE.
