One Day Trip to Amsterdam

On our 2nd week in The Hague, we decided to have a one day trip to Amsterdam, we kept it simple : it was just having lunch and drink, strolling around, and took picture on I Amsterdam :)

We bought weekend retour ticket, means that we can go on saturday and going back on sunday with the same ticket

Getting off from the train - Amsterdam Centraal

One Fine Day with the warm and good weather outside Amsterdam Centraal

Already felt the vibrant from Amsterdam : From grannie to youngster,everyone have their own style

 Tourist Office across the Amsterdam Centraal, we bought a map there and asked some info about direction to the I Amsterdam sign near Rijksmuseum

Before we arrived, we had lunch in -idk-where-it-is- but we walked through the narrow street and there are some nice shops, so I bought a sneakers :)

 So....Hungry...

We also found the oldest pub in Amsterdam, good catch! :)

 I Amsterdam....checked ! ;)

 Enjoyed the evening before going back to the Hague



So that was it! :)

Another broken promises

Another broken promises.
I remember a year ago, I promised that i'll post all my adventures in Europe. That was until I became an event manager and committee for PR Festival 2013 in my uni. This is an annual event that will be held for Public Relations Major, is kinda big, that the vice of governor came, some of important people from non-profit org also participated. So, I didn't even had a time for myself.

After the event was finished, there is an internship thingy, it is compulsory for the last year student. So I joined with Praxis PR consultant for 3 months, where I got a chance to learn PR 'in the real world', also involved in some clients, such as : Tigerair, Tigerair Mandala, Citibank, Putera Sampoerna Foundation, Bank BTPN, Jafra Cosmetics,etc... I learnt that every clients need different approach (eventhough still PR) it depends on what their business is.

Seems like an exhausting works are not enough, I'm also doing my thesis, this is very drama, that I got thesis advisor that famous for "smiling killer". He might be smiling at you, but then, he might be the one of the reason that you failed on defense. BANG!

After the drama, I decided to change my thesis subject, and do the research in Forbes Indonesia. Also I throw my luck applied as intern there for my observation. When I was being interviewed, I said that I want to do a research for my thesis here, andddd.. I accepted.

Working in forbes indonesia is like working with family there, they were so funny and I learnt a lot from there. I worked for 2 months, even though I was being asked for extend, I decided to focus on my thesis and the graduate first.

So that was my February 2013- December 2013 like. Now, i'm doing my thesis, I think this is the lowest point in my academic related so far. Idk, if I can't get along with my thesis advisor or what, but I try to. I want to graduate!

So, that was my excuses. Sorry I spilled out my story, promise that I'll post something useful or entertain later. Fyi, i just got back from Singapore, will try to write if I have time ;)
