Having Koi Fish Can Bring Us Luck (?)

Hello everybody! Sorry about late posting. Today i'd like to tell you about one of my hobbies. It's having pets. Basically, my family loves animals. I have some birds at home. A mated pair of straw-headed bulbul (Cucakrawa in Indonesian) and Magpie Robin (Kacer in Indonesian), four canary birds, two orange-headed thrushes (punglor bata in Indonesian), and a baby Chesnut-capped Thrush (punglor kembang/anis kembang in Indonesian).

Beside those birds, i have some koi fishes or Nishikigoi in Japanese. Nishikigoi or koi fish is a group of fish that are kept for decorative purpose and pet in pond. Its varieties are distinguished by coloring, patterning and scalation. The major colors are red, white and black. 

Koi fishes are classified into eleven varieties but i only explain six of them:

1. Gosanke

    Gosanke classsification is the most popular and most wanted among koi fans. Kohaku, Sanke and Showa are included in it.

2. Bekko

    Koi bekko is a koi that doesn't have red stripe along its body, except Aka bekko. The basic colors are white and few black spots. 

3. Utsurimono

    Koi utsurimono is koi that has black color as basic with additional color. 

4. Asagi.

    Asagi koi has a unique color. It's pale blue color tends to grey as salted eggs with red stripe below.

5. Tancho

    Tancho is koi with solitary red patch on its head. The fish maybe Tancho Showa, Tancho Kujaku, Tancho Goromo or even Tancho Goshiki. It's one of my favorite koi varieties. 

6. Hikarimono

   It's any koi with metallic color or shiny golden color. There are Nezu Ogon, Yamabuki Ogon, Platinum Ogon and Orenji Ogon.

Koi Fish pond at home

Short story: On April last year, i told my dad to construct a fish pond. Its size 2m x 1m x 50 cm. Two months later it finished. Afterward, we bought many koi fishes. Sadly, some of our koi fishes were dead because of a disease and the pond wasn't mature yet (according to references that i had read). So, we've lost about more than twenty five fishes. But then, we bought some koi fishes again haha. Now, we have nine big koi fishes at pond. Its size 30-40 cm up. We have shiro bekko, showa, yamabuki ogon, koromo and etc. 

Here's the video:

I classify koi's classes into three: super class (champions), medium class and market class. Koi fishes in my pond include in market class. Nevertheless, I love seeing at them. I love koi because it has beautiful colors and patterns.

Having Koi fishes can bring you luck? Some say, yes. Believe it or not. Placing a water-filled pond and Koi fish body color patterns are believed to bring a good luck to the owner or even where the fish pond was constructed/ placed.

Well me, be positive thinking. Give suggestions to your mind that it can bring you "luck" whether you wanna make a business from it or just keep it.

I'm a newbie half-death koi lover. There are so many koi varieties I have to study. I'm also pioneering a Koi fish business with my dad. But i have to study more with all koi masters. Wish us luck!

Here are baby koi fishes. We've been learning to quarantine them for five days.

So basically, the first youtuber whom i know is Grace Helbig. Then she did a collab with Jack and Finn Harries. They impressed me because they have good-looking and attractive. Since that, i directly came into their channel and subscribed them. I love British people!

They are inspiring. Their videos aren't only about their daily life but also travelling and inspiring things. A year ago they made videos called "The Rickshaw Run". It was a documentation of their trip across the width of India. They traveled from east to west while raise as much money as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust.

They were always together. But now, Finn lives in New York city for pursuing his dream and studies at Parsons School of Design.

Pengalaman di UISI (Universitas Internasional Semen Indonesia)

Oke, mungkin semua orang belum tahu tentang UISI. Universitas Internasional Semen Indonesia (UISI) adalah sebuah universitas berjenjang S1 yang merupakan tanggungjawab sosial perusahaan dari perusahaan semen terbesar di Indonesia, yakni PT Semen Indonesia (persero) Tbk. UISI dibentuk dan didukung oleh PT Semen Indonesia (persero) Tbk dan Semen Indonesia Foundation. UISI ini adalah pengembangan dari STiMSI (Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen Semen Indonesia). Jadi gaes, dulunya nih di STiMSI cuma ada dua jurusan yaitu Manajemen dan Manajemen Rekayasa dan sekarang di UISI ada 10 jurusan yang dibagi dalam 3 fakultas.

Nah, aku ini mahasiswi manajemen semester 2 di UISI. Selama setahun ini, banyak banget pengalaman yang aku rasain. Salah satunya berikut ini: Flashback dulu yah, hehe. Pas waktu awal aku masuk kuliah nama kampusku masih STiMSI dan aku adalah angkatan yang kedua. Pastinya, bagi anak yang baru mbrojol dari SMA masuk perkuliahan pasti ada yang namanya ospek. Omongan sana sini tentang ospek itu menyeramkanlah, inilah, itulah, apalah-apalah hahaha. Selama ospek (IOMB) banyak kesan dan pesan yang didapat. Salah satunya adalah ketemu temen-temen baru dari luar Gresik. Well, tbh aku orang Gresik asli lho! Dari SD sampe kuliah menempuh studi di Gresik. Bingung juga antara terlalu cinta atau emang cari aman. Yaa mungkin sudah jalan-Nya disyukuri saja ya, to? :) Emang sih, mayoritas mahasiswa asli Gresik tapi juga ada yang dari daerah Tuban, Bojonegoro, Nganjuk, Mojokerto bahkan luar pulau seperti Medan dan Madura. Nah, mereka tuh punya ciri khas masing-masing. Salah satunya adalah cara bicara mereka. Nggak tau kenapa, lucu aja dengerin orang Tuban dan Bojonegoro ngomong yang bagi aku pribadi terdengar aneh tapi menggelitik. Contoh nih ya, sepuluh jadi sepu-loh, mulih (pulang, dalam bahasa Indonesia) jadi mu-leh dan sebagian dari mereka ada yang ditambah -nem (-mu dalam bahasa) contoh,"Pensil-nem wes tak balikno?" Hahaha. Dan mereka juga suka digodain akan "keunikan" tersebut. Maaf ya temen-temen yang merasa, nggak bermaksud jelek kok hehe.

Fast forward. Setelah IOMB, semua mahasiswa masih ada "ospek" lanjutan yang mana setiap hari sabtu kita harus dateng pagi-pagi ke kampus untuk ngumpul dan diberi materi oleh kakak SI 1 (angkatan ke-1) yang berlangsung selama kurang lebih 3 bulan. Intinya sih, kita itu harus sadar akan arti mahasiswa yang sejati seperti apa dan bagaimana bekerja dalam tim dengan baik. Softskill apa yang harus dimiliki agar kita sukses kedepannya karena orientasi kebanyakan mahasiswa setelah lulus adalah BEKERJA. 

Selepas itu semua, ada yang namanya Character Building alias pembentukkan karakter. Tujuan program ini adalah untuk membentuk karakter mahasiswa yang "kuat". Tidak hanya hardskill yang diasah, softskill juga harus dilatih dengan baik. Karena di Indonesia ini banyak banget orang "hebat" dalam hardskill tapi softskill nggak mumpuni. Program CB (Character Building)  antara lain mentoring agama, bike to campus, senam pagi, menanam pohon, senyum-salam-sapa dan juga one student one blog. 

Setiap hari Jumat pagi nih, selalu ada senam pagi bareng-bareng (kecuali hari libur) di halaman kampus tercinta. Nggak hanya mahasiswa yang dateng, dosennya pun ikut lho! Tapi sayangnya, nggak semua mahasiswa berpartisipasi dalam program kampus yang satu ini. Entah kenapa yang dateng senam pagi cuma orang itu-itu aja, bosen liatnya haha. Seharusnya, mereka itu bisa mengerti dan mendukung program kampus yang beginian. Toh ya itu semua juga buat mereka sendiri.

So, UISI ini bisa jadi alternatif buat adik-adik SMA yang mau ngelanjutin kuliah. Ayo-ayo buruan daftar. Bisa cek webnya di sini: http://uisi.ac.id/. Sekian terima kasih.
