Best Questioner in the 15th CJK Auto-ID Workshop

CJK Auto-ID Workshop is one of the yearly activities in Auto-ID Labs which has the goal of professional discussion about researches on radio-frequency identification (RFID) technologies. The Auto-ID Labs network itself is a research group in the field of networked RFID and emerging sensing technologies. The areas of expertise range from hardware to software to business research related to RFID.

The workshop provide a good opportunity to share knowledge and expertise among participants from China (Fudan University), Japan (Keio University), South Korea (KAIST), and Taiwan (NTU & NTUST).

The 15th CJK Auto-ID Workshop was held in KAIST Daejeon, South Korea on 4-5 November 2011. Two Indonesian students were joined this workshop including me. Moreover, only three women from 26 presentator. Iam very proud to get selected as best questioner. This showed that I took a right decision for kept participating even I had to take a long flight (Frankfurt-Taipei-Daejeon), around 20 hours. This happened because we misinterpreted the schedule which will be in December, in fact it was in November. Unfortunately, my schedule for 1 month Euro trip in October was fixed, all tickets in itinerary were reserved. I had prepared it since 2008. Then, there was a long story about me struggling to get South Korean visa and taking risk in reschedule. Afterall, its a happy ending journey FYI, Next CJK will be on June 15—16, 2012 with NTUST as host.

This is my 1st presentation in Global workshop

Here the schedule from all participants.

a ROOM with a view of ROME

Believe it or not, for 1 week in Italy (Pisa->Florence->Rome->Palermo->Genoa->Milan->Venice) I just have 1 shirt, so as the opening, here all pictures with me in the same “appearance” (Italy Part 1 : Rome, detailed story still in progress ^_^)

I know I’m old fashioned
But I don’t mind it
That’s how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me (Fred Astaire)

This journey arranged by : jasmine_sampac,

inspired by : Ciao Italia and Lupakan Palermo

recommended tour : dark heart of Rome

my proud of radio

13 October 2010 I became a part of this family

I will make a poem of my 1 year journey in broadcasting world in this column, just wait for it ^^

r u d part of OKTI 2011?

Here I open my eyes to any ideas, in fact all the finalists have an interesting topic of research. Well, finding topic is the first step of research that challenge you when the right time you will decide to put your limited energy.

Indonesian Students from all over the world gather in Paris, they come from various field of study, here they share where the effort go. Listening to their story and thoughts even ambition and dream, I realize that even in this freezing weather and rainy days, Paris still become a magnificent destination.

before hospitalize EOS 1100D at Bergen Op Zoom

Netherland now is without sunshine and raining all day. Maybe this is the reason why my camera get cold.

Volendam & Zaanse schans

the reason to choose these two places is because they can make you amazed enthusiastically the first time you get there by saying “This is the real Dutch” ^______^ the costume, windmill, cheese, farm, harring fish, clog.

I said it again what I love about adventure. I MET PEOPLE. I met a person who complaining about his life in the train, he talk to everyone with a high tone. I met a nice husband and wife from Taiwan at the same time we check for the train schedule and route. I met drunk beggar who ask for 1 euro unappropriately, I just have 50 cents and bread (actually who’s the beggar here? ), then he give it back to me the coins, prefer to take the bread. I met a guy who drop his wallet and the other guy who pick it up and running to catch him to give it back. I met a bus driver who’s joking about can not get into the bus if I don’t bring him coffee (at that time I bring a cup of coffee, just one cup) when the real meaning is I can bring the coffee but Iam not allowed to drink it inside.

I met them.

never ending learning

when you have a dream, you will do your best to fight for it and make it happens. when my life is alive by havin dream, then a quick decision and bravery is needed. life is the best teacher and the journey of it will improve yourself. learning from experience, no need to think ur stupidity in the past, but put ur effort to face the future based on it.

it start from luckily havin a free flight ticket jakarta-amsterdam from Garuda Frequent Flyer points. The second page is my first journey in Europe. It’s hard to live in a new place, to become stranger, and deaf with the language, but be happy with every small details, like autumn leafs which i like the most, innocent ducks in the river, cold wind touch my cheek, children playin football in a wide green yard, and a nice friend i meet in every stopover.

someone help me bring my suitcase in the station stairs, someone cook me breakfast, someone offer me a place to stay, someone told so many stories in the trip, someone inspire me about research, someone take care of me when i got jetlag, even someone steal my 100 euros in metro, yell-fight and not friendly, all of them are colorin my days to still be thanksfull. well, i can say that iam happy for still havin a good thing, for havin stories to tell, and for the wavy road i choose than a flat one.

finally i sing a song in a place where the song belong,

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez
Aux Champs-Élysées

There is everything you want
At the Champs- Élysées

Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Saint michel fountain,Louvre, Arc de Triomphe … Checked

‘Everything always be exciting when it is the first time.’

Finally, the paper I wrote in my first semester and in the middle of trully hectic wedding preparation is accepted in Canadian Congress of Applied Mechanics 2011 Vancouver Canada by Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of British Columbia. Here the presentation schedule. My team leader will present that. Jia you! Actually, first it is submitted in ICRA and got a valuable evaluation.

I always remember what we’ve been through along the homework, experiments, and final project which bring us into the winner of robot competition in Intelligent Control Systems Class. All my teammates are genius and it also a birthday boy which bring luck ^^. The competition is tense with some seniors as the judges. We also use a real maze. Just smile when I realized that I fall asleep in the library after awake all days and nights because so nervous facing this competition.

Kinda miss P3DX and Amigo Bot

The most important is I learnt about Fuzzy and Neural Network which I use as my thesis methodology.

“Everything happened always has its means”

ps : I think I have the videos of our experiments and final competition, I’ll upload next.

Hakka Festival

The Council for Hakka Affairs celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Republic of China by holding the “2011 Taiwan Hakka Festival—Hakka DNA +e,” exhibiting typical Hakka delicacies and cultural traditions at the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall, Taipei, May 15 through 22.

That was the opening of news in Chinapost which attract me to visit this event. Besides, I also so curious after saw a big advertisement when I watch Marron 5 in the same place. Then I check the website . Wowww..even wondering, can not miss this.

What is Hakka? It is a unique ethnic group of Chinese people.

Hakka people are noted for their preservation of certain cultural characteristics. Among all the Chinese people, Hakkas are among the most conservative in keeping the traditions.

“Hakka DNA” in the title indicates the traditional Hakka values, while the “+e” indicates the enlargement of modern creative elements like electronics, education, environment, ecology and entertainment concepts which build on top of the traditional values. Also, because “e” sounds like the number “one” in Chinese, it indicates that everyone’s participation will unite the Hakka cultures with the people of Taiwan.

Well, Iam happy that this unique fest is worthed to be joined , here some of the colorfull extravaganza :

1. Hakka Card

It has a barcode that you can scan it in a blue-pink machine spread in the expo (total : 7), but you just need 5 to get a free picture with Hakka background.

2. Culture come to Technologies

- Entrance Cave

It will give you a view of flower garden and waterfall, so pretty. it is in the form of integrated effects from moving projector, lighting, and cold smoke.

- Field of Dreams

If u know about ‘wishes/dreams tree’, yaa..we will find that a lot in Taiwan. Actually I ever brought this culture into my department expo in Indonesia, for entertainment and design matching. The result is, that was really capable to attract visitors. The same happened in the Hakka fest. The different is, a talented designer put it into a ‘graphical 3D’ tree. So, in the bottom part of the tree, you can write your wish in a touch sceen computer and click a button to hang it into the tree. We can see a kind of ‘flash’ like a fallin star, then we see our wishes have been hanging into the tree leaves in the roof space. so COOl ^o^

-Observatory Bridge

There is a long painting told a story about Hakka. We can not touch the painting because it is in the opposite part of the bridge which separate by a human made river. However, there are 3 binoculars in the bridge. This special telescope applied with a 360 degrees of moving and a touch screen information. So, the screen will show you some parts with ‘i’ symbol which has a detail description of the picture, just touch the ‘i’ and you will get information you need. I think this is convenient for museum facility.

3. 100 stands of Hakka Delicacies

We can try a lot of snacks, cookies, candies, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, cake, etc for free nice. I love the green tea cake.

4. The Children’s City

There are some game provided, like ‘enggrang’ and other traditional children play. Besides, there is a house whose wall become a drawing paper for children visitors. So, prepare to act with your crayon ^^

5. Arts and Crafts

Some traditional house, umbrella and arts become a good place to take pictures. In Taipei, lot of place become a perfect moment put into lense.

6. DIY Class

The most interesting is ‘pound mochi’, unfortunately I came late ;(

7. ‘Love keeps going‘ Movie Promo

This movie will be released in June 2011. The stand promo is quite attractive with a real ‘tree of dreams’.

8. Music Performance (in the main stage of central park)

I love the jazz tune of ‘Afternoon Tea’ band

All of that maybe not enough to make you have a right imagination, hehe. So lets check out the galleries
