Working at the Intergovernmental Organisation

Hi all!

I come back after a quite long hiatus, haha.

Yesterday, as a part of my training ahead of the 25 October, I declare myself to commit for 1 day 1 post on this blog. The post will not be long, only 300 words as I want to practice my writing skill for the upcoming online exam. So, today topic is working about "Working at the Intergovernmental Organisation".

I am currently working at the intergovernmental organization in Jakarta. I have been working here for six months. Have you heard about ASEAN? Yes, the Association of South East Asian countries which consists of 10 member states is one of the regional organization which headquartered in Jakarta. I am working at the ASEAN Secretariat which basic function is to provide for greater efficiency in the coordination of ASEAN organs and for more effective implementation of ASEAN projects and activities.  (https://asean.org/asean/asean-secretariat/)

So, our day to day task is mainly to facilitate the Member States on coordination and the implementation of the organ projects and activities.  As an intergovernmental organization, the conduct of ASEAN is based on the agreement of the 10 member states. On 20 November 2007, the leaders of ASEAN Member States signed the ASEAN charter which sets the rule and regulation governing this organ. To support the works of this organization, the ASEAN Secretariat was set up as early as 1976 and until now, the secretariat is expanding as the ASEAN organs grow.

Working at the intergovernmental organization means you need to familiarize yourself with a high-level bureaucratic and diplomatic protocols. You have to be aware of your position, responsibility and you have to follow the rules and regulations, standard operating procedures and the practice. Please bear in mind that you work in an organization that already have established practices, so you have to learn quickly and do not hesitate to ask/clarify something which you do not understand. Do not make a new normal, just try to improve your communication skills to your supervisors and your fellow colleagues. 

It might look cool when someone heard about your current job and your office. But after all, the best part of the job is when you enjoy doing it and you fond of what you do. You will find it rewarding in the end when you know that you have learned more than you give.

Best,

ANW

Assalamu'alaikum wr. wb. Apa kabar kawan2? Semoga selalu dalam keadaan sehat wal afiat serta tetap semangat menjalani aktifitas. Apa kabar saya? Alhamdulillah, keadaan saya hari ini jauh lebih baik dari kemarin maupun beberapa hari yang lalu. Teman2 yang baca postingan saya sebelumnya mungkin telah mengetahui bahwa beberapa hari ke belakang saya menderita suatu penyakit yang membuat saya susah duduk, bangun dan berjalan. Sampai - sampai saya harus masuk UGD untuk disuntik obat penghilang rasa sakit di pantat saking tidak tahannya. Ternyata, setelah pulang dari UGD, obat penghilang rasa sakit itu hanya bertahan satu malam. Keesokan harinya, saya mengalami sakit yang sama. Susah duduk, bangun dan berjan. Terkadang, rasanya perih sekali, sampai-sampai saya menangis karena tidak dapat menahan sakitnya. Namun, karena sudah diberikan salep dan obat penghilang rasa sakit beberapa saat sakitnya mereda. Bahkan dua hari kemudian saya memberanikan diri untuk pergi ke Jurong Point...

6 day to Graduation Day

Oleh
Salam.... Hey all, what's up? I've been had a great time since my last post about "skripsi". Apparently, I had to work so hard (and so fast) to revise my thesis. Alhamdulillah, I made it on time with satisfactory result :) whilst it was so "rempong" to make a hardcover and get the signatories... The result itself was not a straight A (it was so close, just 0,44 again to get A score), but than it's okay for me. Alhamdulillah :D Ok, so now I am waiting for my convocation day (graduation ceremonial) which will be held 6 days later. Well, I'm not quite enthusiastic about this graduation day, realizing that it is just a ceremonial phase and I have to do "make up", dressing, high-heels-ing, etc. But, I can't deny that I am so happy, trying my "toga" made me just want to cry, feels like this time just run so quick and now I am not an undergraduate student anymore... Yes, I do believe that graduation is not the end. It ju...

Canberra Day 1 #AvinainAussie

Oleh
 Hi everyone, It's been ages I did not write here. Alhamdulillah, I got accepted at the ANU for PhD in International Relations at the Coral Bell School, College of Asia and Pacific. So grateful for this, I had my family OSHC covered by Bell School, tuition fee covered by HDR Fee Remit Scholarship and stipend provided by Feminist in International Relations scholarship administered by Bell School. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim for the years ahead. Yesterday, 13 February 2025 was my first day landed in Australia let alone Sydney and Canberra. Sydney international airport was not huge, I have to declare everything that listed as prohibited/dangerous items, in my case it was medicine (and honey). Alhamdulillah for the smooth yet very exhausted journey. I landed in Canberra airport on 11.35 noon and was picked up by Natasha, Kang Andri's daughter. She is super cool, an ANU undergrad studying actuarial (wow!). We went to Kebab shop to take lunch, I bought "small" snack pack which...
