The blog link I shown above is in Indonesian but I will give you a gist:

I want to manipulate

into something like

So if anyone can help me, that would be wonderful for me. I am still new of inkscape, but I can do what I want in CorelDraw

You could import that image into Inkscape, and trace it. There are 2 ways to trace -- trace "manually" with Pen/Bezier tool, or auto-trace with Path menu > Trace Bitmap.

Once you have it converted to vector, you can edit to look like the one at the referenced link.

Not hard to make it from scratch, using node editing.

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Not sure it shows too well: the first menu item TD selects, Path > Object to Path, is the most important info, I guess.
