well I don't know for sure, but I quote from this source
( http://www.slbc-banten.net/index.php?menu=news1&id1=4646 )
Mr. Gembol (panggilan masa kecil Wahyu yang ketika ini kepergok buang air di celana)
( a childhood nickname, when Wahyu wet/soiled his pants)
hohoho I'm sorry Mas Gembol, hohoho
wes ora opo opo, skarang jadi nama beken, sing penting prestasine.
Hey it's his achievements that matters !! :)
and Here's SanggarSeni.com interview with the Minister of Design, aka Mas Gembol.
Can you tell us how KDRI was formed ?
The concept of KDRI was formed just like that... I wanted to have a blog that could inspire lots of people... and what I thought was interesting was to evoke people to be proud of their own country, Indonesia, coz all this time Indonesian kids are prouder of another country. They prefer wearing T-shirts from other countries, and this is "dangerous" :p... they could 'lose' their nationality.
Now what I did was to reflect on myself, what skills I could use, it turned out to be design and animation. and We can create whatever we want on the Internet, and I was having fun thinking whether or not I could be a Minister without having to go through a complicated bureaucracy...
Why a Minister ? coz it's one of those position that can make you be heard.
And so I became a Minister of Design , and now when I'm online, people refer to me as Mr. Minister instead of my real name :p
Tell us about the history of KDRI and HelloMotion, Were you a KDRI Spokesperson/Minister first or did you founded HelloMotion first ?
I founded Hellomotion first and 2 years later, I created KDRI.
Can you share what's your typical day is like ? from waking up, working, snacking and staying up late at night.
Wake up... spend time with wifey... spend time with my laptop... shower.... watch TV for a while... off to work.... spend time with office's Computer.... handle reports from employees.... problem solving if any.... do a presentation if there's a client.... create design / artworks when there are offers.... chatting.... go home.... download movies.... chatting.... spend time with wifey..... watch TV with wifey.... sleep.... morning excercise if not sleepy (mostly sleepy)
snack.... right now I'm liking cheese pringles... with tea (teh kotak)...sometimes peas.
How many hours a day do you use to maintain KDRI website ?
2 hours.... after I'm done with work at Hellomotion.
Has anyone ever told you off / gotten angry coz their logo got changed or their design criticized ?
yup... lots of times :p
that's the beauty of it... if we got told off, it means our design is bad... or it's them who're not sensitive to change / bad taste hehe...
but I take it all as a positive input... coz that's what I'm looking for... and something dat stirs an uproar ... that's what makes you alive.
or how do you handle all the commotion handling hellofest. and basically, how do you handle "all the lil bugs along the way" ?
my principle is, as long as we like doing it.... it's "heavy" but it's enjoyable... and as long as we still have the energy... why not go ahead and do it....
I watched Mas Waditya on MetroTV the other day, on "Wirausaha Muda Mandiri", and your Advice to "stay green" is stuck with me now :) Tell us about being on tv... Did you prepare a speech ? or did you get nervous ? or during the commercial break, did you got "ambushed" by Make-up Artists to do make-up and hair ? (this is the after effect of wathing too many Holywood movies hohoho)
I happen to have worked in TV before starting my own business, so I kinda know what TV situation is like....
No preparation prior to the show, coz you didn't know any of the questions until the shooting... so I improv more....
during the break... I mostly chatted with Dian Sastro & Renald Khasali....
and guys don't get that much make up like girls do :p
Classic questions : What are your goals and How do you see yourselves and your designs in the future ? :)
My goals :
I want to be number 1 best husband.
I want to be number 1 best father
I want to be number 1 best grandfather
I want to make others happy through my designs and animations via hellomotion & kdri
Lastly, Do you as a Minister of Design at KDRI, have anything to say to our friends who's starting out, but are somewhat afraid or dunno where to start ? :)
Just start something... don't be afraid to be criticized... just imagine you're like a lion in a war... even if you lose (your artworks are considered bad)... you're still a lion.... yes you lose the war... but you can still roar proudly... you still have to joyfully celebrate your 'wounds'... because you're a lion ! roarrr
salam gaul
waditya
