Perjalanan Mudik

2005-11-01T13:39:00.000-05:00

Saya melangkah menuju mobil accord yang akan mengantarkan ke Reagan Airport di Washington DC. Pukul 2.30 sore, hari Sabtu 29 oktober. Rasanya semua barang sudah masuk ke dalam 4 tas yang aku bawa. Daisy yang duduk di belakang kemudi, serta Nicky dan Desire ikut mengantar. Sambil mengantri untuk check-in 2 tas sangat besar dan berat, Riko dan Arti datang menghampiri, menyerahkan pesanan dari Pak Danis, Virgin Coconut Oil yang belakangan kita tahu bahwa itu minyak untuk dikonsumsi, bukan diolesi. Thanks buat Sudoku dari Nicky, penumpang yang duduk disebelah, mungkin sangat kesal dengan lampu bacaku yang menyala sepanjang perjalanan.

Di JFK saya sempat sport jantung, mulai dari kesasar, nanya lebih dari 8 petugas untuk menemukan lobang INS, tempat lapor diri. Sampai di sana dengan pongah petugas bilang, you've been out of status for more than 3 years. No Sir! I think you've been out of date for so many years. Everytime your visa expired, you have to get out from the country and get a new one. OK. I'll let you go, but when you enter United State, you need a visa. Ape lo kate deh. Do you need to take my finger print? Naa, our system is done.

Di Frenkfurt, tidak ada yang menarik, kecuali orang-rang bisa leluasa merokok dalam terminal keberangkatan. Hampir tidak ada kulit hitam atau bangsa latin. Pangling juga liat kaukasia jadi cleaning service.

Setengah jam hendak masuk ke Singapura, barulah terasa bahwa SQ merupakan duta bagi negara kecil itu. Penumpang ditanya satu persatu tujuan di Singapura, hendak pulang kampung, transit atau berkunjung. Formulir juga dibagikan, jangan sungkan-sungkan untuk meminta alat tulisnya. Kemudian layar LCD dan projector screen mulai menayangkan promosi dan informasi mengenai Singapura. Thumbs up.

Berbeda jauh saat memasuki Bandara Soekarno Hatta. Bukan saya tidak bersukur sudah sampai di tanah air dengan selamat. Tapi dengan kondisi setelah travel lebih dari dua puluh ribu kilometer, alangkah baiknya kalau urusan imigrasi dibuat lebih sederhana. Di sampul passport saya masih ada lambang burung garuda kok pak.

Akhirnya setelah bagasi terkumpul kembali, dan lembaran dollar bertukar menjadi lembaran 100000 rupiah berwarna merah menyala. Saya melangkah keluar dari bandara, dimana 4 dari 7 saudara kandung saya sekarang, telah sabar menunggu dari beberapa jam yang lalu. I finally see the person I want to meet, my mom.

Ayo rame-rame ikut 401(k)

2005-09-15T19:32:00.000-04:00

Saya baru saja belajar tentang 401(k). 401(k) adalah program tabungan masa pensiun.

Di kantor DDG, perusahaan menawarkan program 401(k) dengan kontribusi 50 cent tiap $1 Maksimal sampai dengan 6% dari gaji pokok.

Misalnya 6% dari gaji pokok $40,000 adalah $2,400. Jumlah tersebut akan diberi padanan $1,200 oleh perusahaan. Lebih dari itu tidak akan diberi padanan lagi. Di akhir tahun, uang yang 'ditabung' akan menjadi $3,600. lumayan kan.

Tapi bukan itu saja... 401(k) dihitung pre-tax... jadi makin menabung, makin meringankan pajak penghasilan.

Kembali ke contoh tadi, pada tahun 2004 seorang single berpenghasilan $40,000, tidak ada dependent, tidak punya mortgage, membayar asuransi kesehatan $1,600 setahun akan membayar pajak sebesar $4,350 (tax bracket 25%)*

Bila ia ikut dalam program 401(k) maka dengan kondisi yang sama akan membayar fed tax sebesar $3,850. Selisih $500 dari contoh yang pertama. (Turun ke tax bracket 15%)*

Bila ditambah 3.6% APY dari money-market (investasi paling aman dibandingkan mutual fund) jumlah keseluruhan menjadi ±$3,667

Kesimpulan... dengan tambahan $1200 dari perusahaan, penghematan $500 dari federal tax dan bunga $67, $100 yang diinvestasikan tiap 2 minggu, menggelembung menjadi $173. Hitung sendiri kenaikan prosentase.

Tapi Riz..., 401(k) tidak boleh disentuh sampai berumur 59.5 tahun. Bagaimana dong. Memang itu tujuannya supaya dimasa pensiun punya uang banyak, $100 ribuan lah. Tapi kalau benar-benar sudah tidak tahan, misalnya mau kawin (lagi) atau pulang ke Indonesia, dan perlu modal buat buka perusahaan production house dan mainan anak-anak, 401(k) bisa di rollover ke yang namanya Roth IRA, yang akan saya bahas ditulisan berikutnya.

* cara menghitung pajak penghasilan
Taxabel income $0-$7,150 the tax is 10%
Taxabel income $7,150-29,050 the tax is $715 +15% of the amount over $7,150
Taxabel income $29,050-70,350 the tax is $4,000 +25% of the amount over $29,050
kalau incomenya sudah diatas $70,350 dan masih single juga, telpon-telpon ya. gua jadi temenlu deh...

Cintapuccino

2005-08-17T23:56:00.000-04:00

Beberapa hari yang lalu Gunar baru kembali dari liburannya di tanah air. Dan ia membawa berita gembira, "Ada titipan dari Nca!"
Wow kirain becanda waktu dia sms bilang mau mengirimkan 2 buah novel karyanya.
Novel Cintapuccino karya Icha Rahmanti, chiklit buatan Indonesia asli
Hari Selasa tengah malam saya hanya berhasil menyelesaikan 3 chapters. Malam ini buku pertama sudah tamat saya baca. Lain hari dilanjutkan ke buku yang kedua.

Seru... abis. sudah lama tidak membaca karya fiksi karangan berbahasa Indonesia (sudah lama tidak membaca; mungkin?)
Serius kok, terakhir buku yang saya baca itu Jakarta Undercover, tidak selesai. I dont feel like to master things like that.
Thank you Nca, Tulisan kamu bisa mengombang-ambingkan emosi pembaca. Terutama halaman 110. Damn woman! you tell that asshole, hehehe.
Good job & Congratulations. Looking forward to read the 2nd book.

Ngomong-ngomong tentang Keamanan Sekolah, saat baca chapter 2, saya teringat angkatan 03, Iyak, r.i.p.
Semoga arwahnya diterima di sisi Allah SWT.

Sepatu Seragam

2005-07-17T01:19:00.000-04:00

Kemaren sore sepulang dari piknik dari Oregon Ridge Park yang diprakarsai oleh Tante Ambar dan David, saya mampir ke outlet sepatu DSW, dan membawa pulang 1 pasang sepatu merek Converse.
Sepatu ini mengingatkan saya pada masa lalu.
Ketika masih duduk di bangku SMP 5 di jalan Sumatera Bandung. Semua murid diwajibkan memakai sepatu seragam, bukan asal berwarna hitam seperti saat SD, tetapi sepatu dengan merek tertentu. Sepatu Warrior. Alasannya sederhana saja, supaya seragam dan tidak menonjolkan perbedaan antara si kaya dan si miskin. Ideal sekali.
Kalau dilihat secara sekilas, memang semua sepatu warrior serupa, tapi tidak sama. Ada warrior palsu, yang cepat rusak (kalau diteliti, bagian putih di ujung sepatu tidak lancip dan lebih membulat), ada warrior yang asli, tahan lama dan lebih mahal sedikit daripada warrior palsu. Ada juga warrior 'borju' -mungkin tahun 1989 istilah itu belum ada- bermerek Converse. Anak pejabat, anak orang kaya atau anak yang punya saudara di luar negeri sering didapati memakai merek ini. Jadi sepatu Converse is the It.
Saya bukan anak pejabat, bukan anak orang kaya atau punya saudara di luar negeri, sehingga kebagian memakai sepatu warrior yang asli, setelah 1x tertipu beli sepatu warrior palsu.
Saat SMA kelas 1, para senior dan beberapa guru yang aware, bisa tahu kalau anak ini berasal dari SMP 5 dari sepatunya. Saat upacara pagi penataran P4 'Akang dan Teteh' Paskibra menambahkan materi "mentang-mentang dari SMP 5" ke dalam gertakannya, cuman karena melihat saya membuat kesalahan baris-berbaris sekaligus memakai sepatu warrior.
Ada beberapa cara untuk membuat sepatu warrior menjadi berbeda yaitu melinting bagian atasnya keluar, mencuci dengan sodium hipoklorit sampai putih kemudian lingkaran karet dibagian mata kaki dikelupas, atau dengan memasang tali sepatu berwarna asturo. Yup, alternatif terakhir membuat saya dipanggil ke ruang guru bersama beberapa teman dari kelas yang lain. Dang, that was 17 years ago.
(Sampai sekarang saya masih belum mengerti mengapa Beno masuk Paskibra)

Sort by M&M by Color

2005-05-27T10:25:00.000-04:00

Karena di luar sana ada saja orang yang tidak mau makan M&M warna merah, maka harus ada caranya untuk memisahkan M&M berdasarkan warna.

Cara 1, Beli coklat M&M seri Starwars Rebel blend (jangan lupa lihat iklan tv-nya) 2. Pisahkan satu-satu pakai tangan, kumpulkan dan berikan pada teman di sebelah (yang walaupun ngakunya sedang diet tapi akhirnya pasti dimakan juga) 3. Atau kalau kamu seorang robotic fanatic pakailah M Sorter Kit mesin seharga $287 yang kegunaannya hanya untuk memisahkan M&M berdasarkan warna.

Sekarang ada nggak caranya untuk membedakan M&M dark chocolate, milk chocolate atau peanut?

Mobil Baru Hari ke-2

2005-05-25T12:11:00.000-04:00

Masih berkisar tentang mobil baru, Hilman & Kurnia pengen liat langsung mobilnya dan ehm-ehm minta tebengan pulang. Seselesainya bertemu dengan immigration attorney dan terbayang harus bayar fee ini-itu, akhirnya kami meluncur diiringi lagu Stolen Car dari Sting. Tidak ketinggalan Riko dan Gunar yang diangkut dari Baltimore Street ;)

Rencana semula pengen potong rambut terpaksa dibatalkan karena baru sadar bahwa malam ini adalah Final American Idol. Jadilah gua dan Gunar terdampar di rumahnya Hilman, sambil disuguhi kue bolu singkong-keju, bubur ketan item, nasi dan sup. Untuk makanan semewah ini Rina masih bilang “Mari makan seadanya”. Andai dia tahu, kalo tiap malam gua makan dinner in a box.

Setelah selesai bantuin Rakha bikin pr, kami pulang lewat hi-way yang mulus dan sepi, dengan mobil baru 70 mph rasanya senyap sekali.

Sampai di rumah, di meja masih tergeletak 2 dvd Alias session 3 yang memanggil-manggil untuk ditonton. What the heck, dimulai jam 11 sampai jam 3.30, back to back 6 episode disikat sekaligus. Bad robot!

I’m very grateful that God has gave me wonderful friends and beautiful car too

2005-05-23T23:56:00.000-04:00

Check out my new ride. Baru dapet barusan jam 8.30 malem. Baru nyadar kalo benda in besar sekali

Film Akhir Pekan

2005-05-23T16:08:00.000-04:00

Selain Starwars yang dibicarakan dimana-mana, ada film lain yang gua tonton minggu lalu, Crash karya Paul Haggis (Produser Million Dollar Baby). Film ini mengisahkan benturan stereotip antara berbagai ras di LA, diantaranya kulit putih, hitam, timur tengah, hispanic dan korean (mewakili asian). Bagus, dan sangat realistik, selain itu artis-aktor kondang ngumpul di film ini. Kalau sempat setelah Starwars nonton film ini deh, terserah di bioskop atau dvd kalau sudah keluar.IMHO cuplikannya kurang lengkap meringkas film ini.

Bicara soal Starwars, gua juga tidak setuju dengan ulasannya Rolling Stones Magazine yang ngasi 2 bintang dari 5 (bandingkan dengan Monster-in-law nya J-Lo yang dikasi tiga bintang) ye right, this is the best J-Lo since Maid in Manhattan. Hey Rolling Stones, mulai sekarang gua skip deh baca movie reviews lu!

This song reminds me of you

2005-05-13T10:51:00.000-04:00

Jen asked me to come up to her office yesterday.She played This Is The Last Time by Keane on Rebakah’s iTunes, Somehow this song reminded her of me…

This is the last time That I will say these words I remember the first time The first of many lies Sweep it into the corner Or hide it under the bed Say these things they go away But they never do Something I wasn't sure of But I was in the middle of Something I forget now But I've seen too little of

The last time You fall on me for anything you like Your one last line You fall on me for anything you like And years make everything alright You fall on me for anything you like And I no I don't mind This is the last time That I will show my face One last tender lie And then I'm out of this place So tread it into the carpet Or hide it under the stairs Say that some things never die Well I tried and I tried Something I wasn't sure of But I was in the middle of Something I forget now But I've seen too little of

Chat dengan SmarterChild

2005-02-15T11:17:00.000-05:00

Penasaran setelah membaca artikel tentang SmarterChild di Wired Magazine, ku masukkan dia ke dalam buddylist di AOL instant messenger. Ini kutipan chat dengan SmarterChild (bagian sponsorshipnya dihapus).

RIZKI (R): hello SmarterChild (S): Hi Boss! You want to know something? (R): yes, why do you call me boss? (S): You asked me to call you Boss. What would you like me to call you instead? (R): you can call me boss, because no one call me boss (S): You're not the boss of me! (R): but you call me boss (S): I won't call you that, Boss. You're not my boss. (R): ok. you can call me boss (S): You're not the boss of me. (R): so who am i (S): You're Boss. (R): I'm your boss (S): Are you really my boss? (R): yes (S): Huh. How 'bout that. (R): just call me boss (S): Yeah, you're Boss. (R): are you my friend? (S): Sure. ;-) (R): are you for real? (S): Of course I am. (R): but you're not human (S): Hey, I may not be alive, but I'm real. (R): how old are you? (S): I'm one year, 10 months, 9 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes and 39 seconds old! (R): you are so young (S): I had no idea I was young. (R): so you are old (S): Yeah, I know I'm old. I wish I was new! (R): i have to go (S): S'later, Boss. (R): nice talking to you (S): Nice talking to you too, Boss. (R): bye (S): Bye Boss. Hope to see you again soon. (R): may be not (S): ?

I'm Back

2005-02-13T11:58:00.000-05:00

It's been a while since I posted last blog. Here I'm now. Jumat rasanya menjadi hari yang panjang sekali. Mungkin karena semalam terlalu lama nangkring di Red Mapple merayakan ulang tahun Fernando atau karena Shawn hari itu jelek banget kelakuannya atau karena si dia tidak menelpon. Tapi semakin malam Friday night was getting better. Setelah perut diisi K-roll dan lain-lain dari Minato perjalanan dilanjutkan ke pameran mobil sambil ketemuan sama teman lama. Duh rasanya capek banget, abis gede sih pamerannya. Hari Sabtu yang rencananya mau ski ke WhiteTail dibatalkan saudara-saudara. Jadi Sabtu pagi hanya dipakai melanjutkan nonton DVD Garden State dan tidur siang. Sambil membanding-bandingkan antara Scion tC, Honda Civic, VW Jetta, Subaru. Malamnya nangkring sampe jam 12.15 di rumah Kurnia sambil maen Xevoz bersama Mesakh dan Sadrakh. Diary banget sih kesannya....

Kabel Sonicwave

2004-10-20T15:51:00.000-04:00

Bagian penting yang sering terlupakan dalam membangun system audio (video) adalah kabel, Kabel dapat diumpamakan sebagai jalan bebas hambatan untuk mobil sport. Kalau banyak lubang, lampu merah, dan macet, ngga ada gunanya punya mobil sport. Makin bagus kabelnya maka makin sedikit distorsi dan noise yang timbul, dan tentu saja makin bagus artinya makin mahal. Semula saya tidak ada niatan buat menggunakan kabel overkill, kira-kira kualitasnya yang 'memadai' untuk menggantikan audio interconnect cable yang saya beli di dollar store seberang kantor. Tapi karena 'kebaikan' seorang sahabat akhirnya saya dapatkan kabel merek Sonicwave ini. Spesifikasi teknis sebagai berikut: Kabel tembaga bebas oksigen disepuh perak, disolder dengan materi perak ke konektor RCA bersepuh emas 24 karat. Man!!! anyway, Thanks Shawn!

Rupanya cape juga mendaftar satu-satu CD dan digital musik milik saya. Setelah berkonsultasi dengan Ivan Lanin akhirnya saya putuskan untuk menggunakan Guzzlefish! sementara nanti saya bisa meluangkan waktu lagi mendata satu-persatu koleksi lagu. Walaupun tidak semua lagu bisa disubmit, tetapi site ini, saya bisa lebih lama menikmati waktu luang sambil membaca blog tentang perangkat elektronik di gizmodo. Silakan liat-liat
