Inspirations from My Office Girl
My #olliebday writing challenge come from my personal experience. As a writer, I always want to see someone, not solely from the interface that I see (excuse my geeky phrase -_-), but from other perspective. Because I believe everybody always has an inspiring story we can learn from, and it can be good for my...
On Celebrating #OllieBday
Can’t believe it’s my birthday again! This year, I spend my birthday in Singapore with friends while attending Echelon 2011. This year’s birthday is officially the first birthday without him.

Tips Sukses a la Ollie
Mata saya tiba-tiba menekuri sebuah piagam yang diberikan setelah saya memberikan seminar di sebuah event. Piagam itu ditujukan kepada saya, Aulia Halimatussadiah, sebagai Wanita Wirausaha Sukses.

Perjalanan Umroh ku (Catatan Pinggir)
Dua hari terakhir saya di Mekkah, sebelum pulang ke Indonesia, tamu bulanan saya datang tak diundang. Jadilah saya mendekam di kamar sambil membaca buku Naked Traveler 3 yang saya bawa dari Indonesia. Buku Trinity ini, menurut saya yang terbaik dari ketiga buku. I love it very much.

My Umrah Journey
Living in Indonesia, country with largest Muslim population in the world, I’ve been a Muslim all my life. I automatically become a Muslim because my parents are Muslim. I didn’t walk thru process of ‘searching’. I accept Islam they way it is. And I didn’t questioned it. The 5 times praying ritual started become a soul-less routine....

Women & Technology
Seperti yang sudah saya sampaikan di postingan sebelumnya, yang paling penting untuk memulai bisnis adalah action.
