At last, the time has come for me to say goodbye to some people and places and things with which I spend my time quite a lot. For the first one in this series, I pick PT LAPI Divusi, IT Satisfaction Provider, a place where I (used to) work.
My first direct contact with Divusi (short name of PT LAPI Divusi) was when I have to do an internship as a part of Informatics Engineering program at ITB. The students must do an internship in informatics-related companies to feel what work would be like. I and Ridho, as a group, applied to Divusi back in 2004 (our third year). With the fact that Ridho was already joining the company as a part time programmer, the application process was speedy and easy. Fast forward to more than 2 years later, my years in Divusi has become important part in shaping myself to what I am, now.
As a new company (the company was established formally at 2004, to build a formal structure for professional services which have been offered for more than 10 years earlier), Divusi strive to be the best in the game. I, myself, witnessed and participated in, how Divusi came rescuing some abandoned projects and maneuvering to succeed in some new ones. Thanks to Divusi I got to see what is happening here in Indonesia.
Beside my work as a software programmer/analyst, I connected to Divusians in some other activities. Activities that I did not think I can actually participate in. I did mention that I went out on a several fun karaoke sessions, what’s more is that I relive my high school experience (d’uh! what experience? I was only a backup back then) as a goal keeper in futsal games. I would like to post some pictures of them to make you kind readers know what those two different times like.
This is a typical karaoke session where Divusians try to relax by singing. Most of us would be singing while seating, but some, would stand and give some more vibe. We all would sing and do a little dance along Indonesian songs, western songs, oldies songs, popular songs, rock songs, dangdut songs, any song that was being sung. The sessions were a lot of fun. Other co-workers in any companies should try karaoke.
Sport was never my strongest interest, and I was always lousy at game or team sport. But with Divusians, I somehow managed to give it a shot by joining some futsal practice sessions. On more than several occasions I was the goal keeper, not a really good one I must say. I did my job by throwing myself to snatch the ball or just to tackle the opponent’s strikers 
The point is I got to have fun (that is the miracle of game or team sport) while shaking some fat off of my belly.
The time has come for me to part ways with Divusi and the Divusians. Thanks guys for everything (not only for karaoke and sport), and hopefully we will see each other again.
