We both are too young for marriage, too old for games and too smart for players.

Where have we been hiding?

Hi there you all :) it’s Eva writing!!

Here we go again!! First of all, on behalf of both of us we would like to apologize for not posting up “something” in these past few months. No excuse, but we’ve been busy with so much things. Believe me. Since November 2011 we went back to Indonesia for 3 months holiday. We spent most of the time with our own family, relatives and friends in our own hometown (Manado for me and Jogjakarta for Uma). But now, we are back in Sydney together and ready to rock this city to the fullest! :D Oh, and i would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to my dearest Uma for finding her love life :) you both looking really cute together!! hmm, maybe that can be one of her excuses for being so busy lately :P.

OK, so here are some pictures of US, places, foods, and random things :D

i hope you guys enjoy the photos as much as we do!

these pictures taken at the “TASTE OF SYDNEY 2012” event.

The event is basically a four-days event (8-11 March 2012) at Centennial Park, Sydney NSW. 26 top restaurants were there!!! The ticket price is AU$25 per person but we got it for free (WOOHOO FOR FREE STUFFS!) because one of our friends, Putra actually participated in the event as a chef in one of the restaurants there. He was cooking for L’ETOILE restaurant with Manu Feildel -the host of “My Kitchen Rule”  channel 7- as the head chef of the kitchen . For earth sake, these guys can make ridiculously good foods! 

Overall we were very happy, we came back home with our smiley tummies :D

UmaEva… play ‘Harmonika’

Hi everyone, this is Uma writing!

Oktober ini, Uma dan Eva membuat cerita lagi!

 We name it: ‘Harmonika 2011’. Untuk yang ada dalam bbm contact Kami, mungkin pernah (baca:sering) melihat status Kami promosi Harmonika. Facebook atau twitter Kami juga kompak menyulut api Harmonika. We committed to it. Setelah sederet kerja keras, akhirnya terlaksana juga event yang satu ini:

 

Uma.


Eva.

in venue: Uma-Farah- Eva-Uli.

 

Tapi apa sih sebenernya harmonika-harmonika ini?

Ceritanya dimulai dua bulan lalu di Macquarie University Bar, ketika saya dan Eva menghadiri pertemuan PPIA (Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Australia) di kampus. Ketika itu hari Kamis dan Kami hanya iseng datang. Acara nya cuma makan minum (yang mana saya nggak makan minum krn puasa) dan mengisi form data diri. Niat Kami simple: mau lebih aktif di organisasi ini.

Satu minggu kemudian, saya dengar Eva dikontak oleh Whitney, Si Ketua Organisasi. Eva didaulat menyandang tugas mulia sebagai panitia ‘Harmonika’, sebuah event yang telah direncanakan sejak April 2011. Awalnya saya pikir ‘oh paling cuma bantu-bantu’. Ternyata nggak juga, karena tugas Eva adalah menghandle seluruh performers Harmonika sebagai koordinator. Selang berapa hari, saya menyusul mengurusi bagian koordinasi marketing. 

Oke, nggak masalah. Hanya saja persoalannya menjadi sedikit rumit ketika tahu bahwa baik saya maupun Eva direcruit dua bulan saja sebelum Hari-H. Bukan karena event ini dadakan, tapi karena ada beberapa perbedaan pendapat yang berujung pada mundurnya segenap panitia dari kepengurusan. Begitulah saya dan Eva menggantikan peran kepanitiaan lama.

Pernah dengar namanya drama dalam organisasi? It sounds familiar to me: miskomunikasi, beda konsep, beda misi, kehilangan komitmen, ngga ada waktu, nggak suka si A, bete sama si B. Yang dulu jaman SMA pernah ikutan OSIS atau kepanitiaan pasti ngerti drama macam ini. Bukan sesuatu yang luar biasa, it happens all the time everywhere.

Mulai bekerjalah saya dan Eva dibawah kepemimpinan Whitney. I’ll leave Eva’s job description for her to write, since she knows it best. Saya mau ngomongin hal yang saya urusin saja. Tujuan marketing terdengar simple: pokoknya bagaimana caranya supaya orang tau ada Harmonika, lalu datang ke acara ini.

Sebagai orang baru di PPIA (baru banget, lebih tepatnya), I could have done nothing without supporters. Terimakasih buat anak2 PPIA maupun teman2 yang bantuannya menerangi jalan saya untuk belajar lebih banyak :) 

Jadi mulailah saya mengkontak media-media Indonesia di Australia dan menjadikannya Media Partner (Tujuannya supaya nggak perlu bayar fee iklan). Sebut saja dengan Ozindo, Buletin Indo serta Indomedia. Kami juga membuat beberapa video. Salah satunya:

Dan tentu saja, poster:

Credit is dedicated buat Gary (temannya Eva, asal Manado) yang dengan ikhlas mendesign poster tanpa bayaran. Tidak bisa pula untuk tidak disampaikan ucapan terimakasih setinggi-tingginya kepada Afin yang dengan rela membantu panitia mencetak dan mengirim poster dan segala macam rupa media promosi dari Jogja. Terimakasih juga buat Vanda, yang tidak terperi nilainya, untuk bantuannya yang serupa dengan Afin. Makasih juga Hafida yang mau bantuin edit-edit poster disela waktunya yang super sibuk :)

Jogja, benar-benar tempat produksi yang super murah. Dalam mencetak Poster ukuran A2 berwarna saja, misalnya, Sydney menawarkan harga LIMA BELAS kali lipat lebih mahal dari biaya printing di Jogja.

… to be continued.
