He's not perfect.
You aren't either,
and the two of you will never be perfect.
But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can.
He isn't going to quote poetry,
he's not thinking about you every moment,
but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break.
Don't hurt him,
Don't change him,
and don't expect him more than he can give.
don't analyze
smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there.
love hard when there is love to be had. because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.

2011-11-29T20:56:00.001-08:00

heiii :D I've moved out! and share a room with my friend, Desi :D
we met on the 1st of November 2011, in HRD office. we started to work & sign the contract together. n started to chat "where do you live? how much does it cost? are you a catholic? etc" then she said right away "let's share a room together to make it cheaper!" that sounds like a good idea though :D finally now we share a small room for 400.000 / month from the 26th of November 2011.. this is the first time for me to share a room with someone :D seruuuuuu...hahahha ^^

desi works in the same place with me, but different department & different working hour. so we didn't meet each other a lot in the office in that first month. but we always chat whenever we can & so far, it seems like we can get along well..

then, at the 26th of november, we officially moved in together. at the 27th of November, we got to go to work together. then on monday, 28th of november, I went to work at half past 8, but she had a noon shift (went at half past 11) so I went home earlier than her. andddd.... voilaaaa she had unpacked my suitcases & put everything in place! I bought a wardrobe & she had put all my things & hers inside it... nailed the wall to hang things, etc..wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I was amazed!! hahaha ^^

so far I enjoy living together with desi. yes it is just only the 5th day of us. it is a good thing also that we don't have exactly the same working hour, so we still can have our own time. (sometimes it is better to clean up when u are alone). also she bring her laptop & like browsing, so we can enjoy doing our own things even we are in the same room. also I can go to sleep alone, while she is still awake with her laptop.

yesterday we took few pic, btw.. hehhe :) here it is :

we'll continue it tonight!!! ahahahahaha ^^

Hello from Bali :)

2011-11-19T22:26:00.001-08:00

today is 20th of November.. almost 1 month I've stayed in Bali... and almost 20 days experiencing working life..

so far,, so good,,, :) not always happy, but always interesting :) I have a lot to talk about.. ^^

starting from... my place.. my room. it's a nice room.. new building, with nice toilets, etc.. plus a TV also..hahaha.. but it is quite expensive for me.. next month I will move to a new place that is cheaper & I will share my room with Desi. hope everything goes well :)

in the office... the works... not always fun.. I don't understand a lot of things (because the last time I got a management subject was in high school & I didn't even pay attention to it.. :P ) hahahaha...
my job.. my task.. I try to enjoy it.. yes, I do learn a lot of new things... also I understand how people can hate their boss.. yes I hate the boss already..hahahhaa XD don't know, maybe the different background really give different effect on someone's behavior.. she is really bossy... in & out of the office. I don't like that. I am a kind of person who don't like to talk a lot to defend myself. hah... I just don't like her.. she keeps bossing me around when I am playing with our friends. such a mood breaker. -_____-

but my colleagues are nice :) I have fun working days with them around me .. :)

My office is not really in a good shape right now.. a lot of disappointing for the boss.. I heard few of my friends will leave as soon as the contract end. it's sad to think about it..we'll see then..

in the leisure time.. ah Bali is the best for that :) I spend almost every night just talking with my friends in a balcony in front of my room... because I live in a high mountain, the weather is nice in the night :) talking, smoking (they are smoking), eating snacks, with hot tea & coffee.. that's what we do until late :) and in the weekend we can go to the nearest beach in just about 30 minutes. I like it a lot :)

so.... it is still less than a month for me.. still long way to go for me to survive here.. living alone like this, with no family, no old friends & my boyfriend is also far from me, I learn a lot on how to take care of myself. keep having fun & still be me :) it is just one year of my life where I will go through a lot of things.. God is with me all the time & I am sure of it :)

miss you all at home..

akhirnya hari ini booking ticket ke bali.. brgkt tgl 26 oktober..less than 3 weeks.. only 3 more weekends to see him :)

yap.. I've been thinkin and planning of this for a long time actually.. and bali is not bad.. almost all my friends envy my getting job there (ya outsider pasti liatnya lebih menyenangkan,, pasti begitu kalau saya liat pekerjaan mereka juga :) )

yah intinyaa.... no whining.. no complaining... this is your plan.. you want this.. you know it is good for you.. you'll happy when you've get through this and tell your kids about it :)

it's the time for preparing everything.. what to bring.. what to buy.. what to prepare.. money & soul..hahaha ^^

hmmm my fam still have doubts & concerns, for sure.. but yah you'll never know everything about it.. you'll do what you can do to observe it and just yah.. give it a try :)

saya sangat bersyukur karena misa 2 minggu terakhir ayatnya bagus2.. :)

seperti yg pernah saya post di sini :

"Sebab rancangan-Ku bukanlah rancanganmu, dan jalanmu bukanlah jalan-Ku, demikianlah firman Tuhan. Seperti tingginya langit dari bumi, demikianlah tingginya jalan-Ku dari jalanmu dan rancangan-Ku dari rancanganmu."

kemaren dapet 1 lagi dari Filipi 4:6-9

Janganlah hendaknya kamu kuatir tentang apapun juga, tetapi nyatakanlah dalam segala hal keinginanmu kepada Allah dalam doa dan permohonan dengan ucapan syukur. Damai sejahtera Allah, yang melampaui segala akal, akan memelihara hati dan pikiranmu dalam Kristus Yesus. Jadi akhirnya, saudara-saudara, semua yang benar, semua yang mulia, semua yang adil, semua yang suci, semua yang manis, semua yang sedap didengar, semua yang disebut kebajikan dan patut dipuji, pikirkanlah semuanya itu. Dan apa yang telah kamu pelajari dan apa yang telah kamu terima, dan apa yang telah kamu dengar dan apa yang telah kamu lihat padaku, lakukanlah itu. Maka Allah sumber damai sejahtera akan menyertai kamu.

these words that take me into sleep every night.. thanks God.. :)

monday, 18th of September 2011.. He visited me

2011-09-18T08:45:00.000-07:00

hai...
status these days : senggol bacok mode on... hese sare mode on...-_____-

jadi.. ceritanya.. saya lagi mau apply kerjaan baru.. deg deg an... menyusun portofolio dengan sempurna.,,, CV,, surat lamaran,, dll.. ngeceng2 tempat kerjaan yg ingin dituju... semua sudah maksimal... besok mau mulai kirim by email.. gatau nih ada yg nyangkut / gak............ gak berani terlalu berharap / optimis.. takut kecewa.. tetap harus siap...ah yg pasti mah jadi senewen.... another crossroads of my life... wish me luck ya pren...

yah jadi begitulah.. pacar.. fam.. jadi korban ke senggol bacokan saya..hahaha ^^ but today... untung tadi rapat SPPK & kedatangan suster baru yg alukusio nya nampol kaya bener2 buat saya..

alukusio diambil dari bacaan 1 (Yes 55 : 6-9) misa hari ini yang berbunyi :

Carilah Tuhan selama Ia berkenan ditemui; berserulah kepada - Nya selama Ia dekat! Baiklah orang fasik meninggalkan jalannya, dan orang jahat meninggalkan rancangannya; baiklah Ia kembali kepada Tuhan , maka Dia akan mengasihaninya, dan kepada Allah kita, sebab Ia memberi pengampunan dengan limpahnya. Sebab rancangan-Ku bukanlah rancanganmu, dan jalanmu bukanlah jalan-Ku, demikianlah firman Tuhan. Seperti tingginya langit dari bumi, demikianlah tingginya jalan-Ku dari jalanmu dan rancangan-Ku dari rancanganmu.

*plok*

asa nampol pisan kata2nya..hahaha ^^

Sr Diah juga menambahkan dengan alukusionya, jangan lah kita iri terhadap orang lain, dan sering men judge orang dari penampilan luarnya. percayalah saja terhadap rencana Tuhan dan jangan sirik terhadap apa yg terlihat di sesama kita.

Tuhan itu baik.. itu tentu harus selalu diimani.. lalu hari ini Jonathan juga pendalaman imannya bagus..

Catatlah kata-kata-Ku di dalam hatimu dan renungkanlah kata-kata itu baik-baik. Sebab pada saat-saat pencobaan kata-kata itu akan berguna bagimu. Apa yang tidak kamu mengerti pada waktu kamu membaca, akan kamu mengerti ketika aku berkunjung. Biasanya, aku berkunjung kepada orang-orang pilihan-Ku dengan dua jalan, yakni dengan pencobaan dan dengan penghiburan. Dua macam pelajaran Kuberikan kepada mereka setiap hari : pertama, dengan menunjuk kekurangan dan cacat-cacat mereka; kedua, dengan menggugah hati mereka supaya maju dalam keutamaan. “Barang siapa memiliki perkataan-Ku, tetapi mengabaikannya, ia mempunyai seorang hakim yang akan mengadilinya pada hari terakhir”(bdk Yoh 12:48)

yah... semoga saya bisa lebih berserah dan percaya terhadap rencana Tuhan dalam hidup saya.. yang kata Tuhan juga jauh lebih baik daripada rencana saya... :)

photography evaluation

2011-09-05T21:26:00.000-07:00

When I went to Europe, I didn't bring any notebook / laptop. I took a lot of pictures but I couldn't see it on a big screen.. that made me can't evaluate my shot until I went back to Indonesia (-__-). so I admit that my pics is far from 'great' ..haha :P

Now I am looking at my pictures & have some evaluation / critics for my pics:

1. not straight enough. kalau moto bangunan / benda2 geometri, sebaiknya tegak lurus terhadap si objek. memang kadang2 susah (objek terlalu tinggi/ alasan lain).. tapi klo memungkinkan, harus diusahakan :D and.. I used a wide converter that can make a distortion. don't use that distortion too often / everywhere.. sometimes straight lines are better :)

2. too wide aperture. jadi DOF (area yg tajam) nya terlalu sempit.. jangan pake f 1.8 untuk objek2 yg dekat & besar (jadi pusing kalau tidak keseluruhan objek itu jadi fokus)! use it only to create a bokeh background.

separately blur object + really blur background make it dizzy to see -__-

3. for outdoor shot, I think 1 or 2 stop down for the light metering is better.. the sky will become darker / blue-er & not overexposed / pale :D

4. to take pictures of someone with an interesting background, don't forget to make the f bigger! in daylight the shutter speed will be still small enough & in the night you better step up the ISO (bukannya malah pake f kecil yg bikin background jadi blur)

5. untuk indoor yg remang2, naekin ISO nya! biasanya angka f juga jangan terlalu kecil,, nanti jadi ngeblur sedikit demi sedikit.. (ga tajam semua) pusing liatnya. hahaha ^^

closing the best chapter

day 8, 270711 ... when the metro suddenly stop

2011-09-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

that was our last day in Paris.. we packed in the morning, and put our luggages near the kitchen . it is good so we still can walk around without bringing out luggage.. we planned to take it again in the afternoon later.

we bought a 1 day pass bus ticket (for 9 euro) & going around with bus.. it was really nice :) the bus has big window, so it is a good way to go sight seeing the city ^^

*from google. bagus kan???? :D

then we went to Arc du Triumph

names of soldiers who died in the war

the miniature at the Arc du Triumph museum.. gila ya detail ukiran-ukirannyaaaaa >_<

you can see Paris from the top of it :)

but this is the stairs to the top -____- really uncomfortable & quite dangerous..

I couldn't take the full pic of it because it was really high!!

then actually we didn't know where else to go.. the day before we passed an interesting statue by bus & I really wanted to see it again.. then we searched it & we found it!! it was St Michel fountain

*from google

then we ate sandwich nearby for our lunch.. then we wanted to go to Buttes Chamount park (my brother told my mom that it was a good park). it was quite difficult to find, but thanks to the local people.. they were really helpful =) My mom asked a guy, but he didn't know.. then he asked the other woman, but she also hard to explain it.. then the another woman said that she wanted to go there too, so we can just follow her.. so nice =)

then we found it.. Buttes Chaumont park.. it is really big and quite hilly.. I didn't have left energy so I just waited for my mom at a bench.. then we sat for a while on the grass under the tree... phew...

*oh I forget something.. today we took a metro (a subway intercity train),, and it suddenly stop! in the middle of the dark underground tunnel.. fortunately the lamp in the metro still on & the people weren't panic (just like they were used to it) so I tried to not panic to and keep thinking "it happened everyday..."..

after around 3 minutes, it started to go again, the officer gave the announcement that there were someone on the railway, so the metro had to hit the brake...

anyway,, it certainly gave us a trauma to use the metro subway again..hahaha :P

from Buttes Chamount, we went back to the hotel, took our luggage & wanted to go the station,, Paris Austerlitz.. we'd never gone there before so we didn't know what bus to take. I looked at the map, I knew that the bus passed here somewhere,, it was raining.. If I could get one bus stop (any bus stop) I would know where EXACTLY the bus will pass.. we walked with the luggage around 700 m but we didn't find any bus stop.. and it was raining,,, we wore our raincoat.. memprihatinkan sekali lah pokonya.hahaha :P

then my mom saw a bus with the right number!! then we tried to chase it (we couldn't go with this one but at least we will know the bus stop),, finallyyyyyyy we know where the bus stop is..

and then there we were.. sitting in the bus stop with no roof,, raining (gerimis sih) ,, wearing our raincoat, with the luggages,, waiting for the next bus.,

then we finally arrive at the Paris Austerlitz,, 3 hours before the train schedule (our train is at 23.05)..'

phew... what a tiring day... no nap.. no hotel.. 'climbing' arc du triumph...our metro suddenly stop,, chasing & waiting for the bus while raining ,,, and ended the day in the station with no place to have a good sleep... wkwkwk

day 7, 260711...Notre Dame di Paris & Eiffel Tower =)

2011-09-02T07:03:00.000-07:00

we started this day with going to Notre Dame Church by bus.. after looking at several maps, I thought I know which bus to take.. (now I know I miss-read the map.. to read the bus map was not that simple..haha).. then we took a bus... then passed something that maybe the Notre Dame Church,, I didn't know.. everything seems similar & really lots of huge old beautiful buildings everywhere, so it was confusing (while the bus still moving) & that make us went out of the bus wayyyy too late.. (to much thinking) hahaha xP so we asked people where to go & walked towards the Notre Dame church.

"good" thing on the way was that made us passed through a chinese store that sell Paris souvenir.. I think they were cheaper than ones near the tourism objects. but they were so cute that they made us spent more money than we planned today -_____- hahaha

then finally we reached the Notre Dame church.. really magnificent :)

the entrance of Notre Dame. see how small people are..the entrance is really big :)

the interior of the Notre Dame di Paris

then we went home by bus,,and took a nap.

today we planned to see the Eiffel Tower,, we wanted to see it in the dark too.. it was summer, so the sky turns to dark at about 10 pm.. to save our energy, we planned to take a nap first and went out again at about 6 pm.. =)

for lunch, we walked around the hotel & search somewhere to eat.. finally we ate at a small nice restaurant

with the menu... didn't know what those are at all!! hahaha XD

the portion was big for me.. + 3 bread beside this..

I struggled to finish it all & ended up really full.. but I didn't have to eat a lot for dinner again =) hehe

Then to go to the Eiffel tower, we took a bus and stopped at Trocadero,, you can see Eiffel Tower better there =) here are the pics

the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero

the queue to take the elevator to the top of Eiffel tower.. it was around 10 pm

we didn't take it because it would be too late for us.

(sorry...) the Eiffel Tower in the night. I didn't bring my tripod..so this pic is not really good, eh.. hehehe

*that was our 7th day.. roughly a quarter of our trip.. that night we counted the money we'd spent.. it was way too much from our budget.. hyaaaa... harus lebih berhemat!!!! ^^/

day 6, 250711, experiencing Paris

2011-08-29T07:15:00.000-07:00

that morning Linda took the bus with us until Brussel Nord.
Thank you so much for everything, ci :)
then we took the train :
Brussel - Ghent - Lile **** (forget) - Paris.

Belgium is an interesting country, it is like divided into 2, brussel and around use French language, and to the north, they use Dutch language.. even the sign system in the train station also different! ^^

then we arrived in Paris at 2 pm. searched the hotel,, helped by the local people (thank you so much!) we couldn't make it without them, because junction in Paris is really confusing.. sometimes it shaped like a * from above... confusing for us :D

Paris buildings & street

we stayed at Hotel Jarry.. good hotel.. nice hospitality.. nice receptionist.. free wi fi in the restaurant,, worth it :) then first we went to the Louvre Museum (because the next day, Tuesday, Louvre is closed).

it gives you a lot of inspiration =)

we didn't get in because it was 20 minutes to the closing time.. so we continued to walk.. to the church in front of Louvre Museum

sorry. I don't know how to rotate it

the chairs inside.. the shorter ones are for the kneeling position I guess :D

then we went to the Centre Georges Pompidou .. the inside out building :) it was built in.... 1977 ! the architects are super genius :D

a graffiti near the pompidou centre :D

the Pompidou centre =)

inside it

Thanks to a random handsome guy who showed us the way there :)

then we took a picture in the photo booth there,, for free...haha ^^

then we went home by a metro.. unfortunately, it was at the peak hour (about 5.30 pm).. the metro is full of people, and still got more passengers at every stop... (and it is underground) .. I didn't feel comfortable in it.. :( (orang udik.. kaga biasa pake bawah tanah..hahhaha XD )

oh before we arrived at our hotel, I saw Paris Nord station.. it is so cool... I didn't have left energy to take the pic of it, but I can't forget it.. here it is

*taken from google

that's it for today :D

day 5, 240711 ... Brugge,, beautiful :)

2011-08-26T06:05:00.000-07:00

we woke up, and Linda cooked us fried rice for breakfast..hahaha :D felt like home :D then we headed to

Brugge
nice old town.. I didn't pay attention which direction we went (because they just led our way).

we parked near the train station

started our walk through a park

there was a really old town inside :D

we also passed a monastery (biara)

the police at brugge square

Brugge square buildings & statue.. beautiful :)

salvador Dali museum at Brugge

lots of churches there.. we entered few of them.. saw "The seven sorrows of Mary" painting.. really touching..

*taken from google

sometimes we entered an extremely big church with lots of beautiful ornaments & heard a choir singing.. it felt magical :)

a really beautiful church at Brugge Square. we touch & pray in front of a holy blood of Jesus Christ there..

we ate fritjes with tartar sauce at the square,, had a tea time.. & had a window shopping..hehe.. lots of shops there.. :) just bought few chocolates and a can with the shape of Belgium house..hehe..

Linda cooked us sweet chicken for dinner.. thanks for today.. we would leave Belgium the next day :)

day 4, 230711 ... get lost

2011-08-26T05:42:00.000-07:00

we started this day at 8 am. dragged the luggage down to the groundfloor, knocked at the receptionist room, gave back the key & grabbed few toasts as our breakfast. we had to catch 8 am tram, and 8.40 train to brussel.

we supposed to take : Amsterdam --> Utrecht --> eindhoven --> maastricht --> ligue gulemin --> brussel nord.
but we missed the maastricht stop -___- we ended in haarles (don't know where that is,, we almost enter German) haha.. then went back with the next train..

interesting thing along the way was the Ligue Guilemin train station.. it is really different with other station which are usually just old buildings.
this is in Ligue Guilemin train station :

compared to the old town outside

then finally we arrive at Brussel Nord train station.,. Ci Linda picked us there & took us to a noodle restaurant . it was noodle with pork ribs.. the ribs are really soft, tasteful & delicious :) thx Ci :D

then we walk around Brussel... :)

buildings @brussel square

the 'everard T' Serclaes" statue.. touch it from toe to head & it said that someday you will come back to Brussel again :D hahaa.. I did :D

brussel, the city of cartoon :)

belgium waffle.. you'll see it everywhere.. costs around 3 euro.. really yummy :)

then we drove to in front of the palace. this is a church across it (the palace was fenced, so I can't take a good pic of it :D )

visit atomium :D it said to be built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair...it f orms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal. it is big & tall :D. Ci Linda said that now one of the balls is a restaurant that spin slowly & you can look around Brussel from it :)

she told me to take this pic..hahaha XD thx ci :D

then we went to their house (Ci Linda & her husband, Kevin).. nice neighbourhood :) nice house.. we just took a rest then.. we had rice + abon + kecap asin for dinner.. (she had an appointment & couldn't cook for us that night) ... really delicious in the middle of "really cold weather & missing Indonesian food" mood :D thx a lot :D

that is for 1 person. more explanation :

1. plane ticket . I went from mid July - mid August, it was summer & in holiday season & the ticket price is almost at its peak. I used Emirates. I think you can have cheaper price if you travel at spring / fall / winter..hahaha .. one of my friend get the ticket only for 4.800.000 .
you can see that this is the biggest portion of my budget.. that's why I spent one month there,, because the plane ticket price is really expensive,, and while I was there & wanted to see as much as I can..hehe

2. train pass. see it in http://www.eurail.com/home . it has many options, you can choose the pass only for 1, 2 ,3 ,4, 5 or all countries (global pass).. I chose global pass because I wanted to travel to 7 countries. the other options are cheaper, off course..

3. visa n insurance.. you can't bargain this.. :D

4. hotel. as I mentioned in previous posts, you'd better search for host first from www.hospitalityclub.org or www.couchsurfing.org . then you book the hotel in the places where you don't get any host (I booked 1,5 month before my departure date.. because it started to get fully booked).

stay with host is nice..I don't regret it at all. it is always adventurous because you don't know how the host is like, :D Many time I experienced that they have better places for you to visit in their region. Tips are, you search your own host, if anyone sent you message to offered their place, reject them. It is safer that we choose them, not the other way.
you'd better not having too tight schedule when you stay with a host,, spend time to talk with them (they are not your hotel receptionist), it would be nice if you could bring some souvenirs from your country. usually they are also travellers & curious about other country & culture =)

stay in a hotel is also nice (see my previous post for cheap hotel).. you can do whatever you want, eat & sleep anytime you want. =)

5. food, tram, metro & souvenirs. this is the money that you will bring & spend there. actually I spent more money than I planned on souvenirs. we came home with 1 luggage of souvenirs.
in our daily need there, we'd saved as much as we can. most of the time we just eat panini / burger / kebap / falafel. they & other kind of bread are the cheapest food. and also we brought instant noodle from home (12 packs of them), & also jam (strawberry & chocolate..haha ^^ ) and also brought vitamins to stay healthy.
so if you think you can hold yourself from buying souvenirs, it can be much cheaper too :)

In my opinion, going to europe is not VERY expensive.. it is expensive, yes.. but it will worth it. To make it easier, start making your plan. example, I've known this budget from last year,, so I had to save 30 million in one year.. it means around 2,5 millions a month.
2,5 millions a month is not too hard (because I still stay at my parents house).. hold yourself, don't play around too much, don't eat out too often.
if 2,5 /month is too much, just make it into 2 years plan. 1,25 million a month won't be hard. =)

happy planning! :D

day 3, 220711 ... going around alone for the first time

2011-08-24T04:08:00.000-07:00

Tante Nanan & her father in law (whose age is 90 y o and still can drive!!) took us to the train station at 9 a.m .we started to learn to read the time table at the stations... we would go to Amsterdam for 1 night,and to make it easier, we will put 1 luggage in the station and took it again the next day... (first we put 2 of them for 7,6 euro and took another train to Zaanschescans)

Zaansche scans is a really beautiful place in Netherland.. it is like a windmill village.. some of the windmill are still working to make the souvenirs (sawing the wood,, mixing the milk, etc..) it is quite big,, but we didn't have enough time & energy.. so we just took pictures and made a little loop, passed the pretty houses that is also there.. I wasn't sure whether there are actual people living in those houses... the houses are so clean & quiet,, but you can see children toys & kitchen equipments at the backyard... even you could peek and see the furniture inside them.. here are few pics of Zaanschescans :

it was cold and VERY windy ^__^

many artistic pieces here and there

then we went back to the station, took few things from the luggage & left them again to walk to Dam Square first...

the Amsterdam Centraal Station.. it is R E A L L L L L L Y B I G

one of the street artist at the Dam Square

Dutch National Monument @Dam Square

It was a nice square.. I like square :) we sat there and eat things we bought from the stall nearby.. many people & birds to see.. a lot of people, but no rubbish! that's what I like,, :) everybody 'owns' this place.. ^^

then on the way back to the station, we decided to take a canal cruise around amsterdam for 8 euro / person. (yeah that was the only day we would be there,, so we decided to just take the canal cruise :D)

amsterdam buildings. just love it :)

one of the boat house.. they also have a terrace.. nice :)

*btw sorry for the reflection

through the canal cruise, you will see amsterdam churches, famous hotel & houses, boat houses, the harbour, etc..

then we went back to the station to take one of the luggage to go to the hotel... but we were really surprise when we saw our locker was open! it turnt out to be, you pay 7,6 euro for 24 hour, but you can only open it 1 time & it is over! phufff -___- we didn't know it ..... luckily, nothing was lost.. so we move one luggage to the smaller locker & paid again for 4 euro..

then we took the tram to the hotel.. had no idea how to read the map,, just ask people & she said "take this tram and tell the driver that you will get down at 'blablabla" so we did.. the driver reply in dutch & I had no clue what was that.. he told my mom to get on at the next wagon because she was carrying a luggage.. so it was our first time on the tram, separated !! at the mentioned stop, the driver talked to me (or yah.. he tried to) :

driver : #%#$^$#&#%#$

me : oh.. the next stop??

driver : #$@#^#$&%

me : oh now??

driver : #@%$@#^$#$&

me : oh.. oke.. bye.. thank you (WTH ????)

wkwkwkwk.. XP good that my mom saw me, so she get out of the tram too.. phew... then we asked people (who are very helpful, thanks ) and found the hotel.. it turned out that out room is on the 5th floor... -___- I had to take the luggage with me climbing those narrow & high stairs!! good that we only took 1 luggage!!

this... times 8 -__-

after took a rest for a while, we walked to Volenpark.. just passed it towards Van Gogh Museum & Museumplein... we didn't enter anything.. I don't really understand & curious about the Van Gogh art & history (just knew it roughly),,

near the museumplein :D

then went back to the hotel... really tired & cold... we ate Pop Mie & Energen for our dinner tonight... anything warm would work though!! hahaha ^^

*oh, our room had a shared bathroom.. so you shared the bathroom with 1 other room... I don't want to take this kind of room again if I can.. this option caused the double lock between the bathroom & your room (to protect you from the other guest),, but it is complicated & so you have to bring the key to the bathroom?? & it is just not comfortable at all..

went to bed.. tomorrow we would go at 8 a.m... hyaa.........

day 2, 210711 ... exploring netherland :)

2011-08-23T05:25:00.000-07:00

today we decided to walk to the station while looking around this nice town..

in front of the flat :)

the town is really quite!

haha :D there are Indonesian food there :D

*aduh koq miring.. I love the smart system they had, so the baskets are automatically arranged by every customers

lovely shops

'wheelchair' with machine for elderly people,, they can drive it everywhere, even inside the shops & mall :D

'korting' ... I just knew it is from Dutch ^^

there are lines & traffic light only for bikes!! ^^

there are also 'dirty' area though... :P

but pretty buildings are everywhere all over the roads!

and they are shining,, no dust!

the swan will come to you for food ^^

the tilted church

love the buildings :)

Alessi ^^

then we went to see churches there :)

and also the market in the square.. we ate fried clam (kerang goreng tepung) there.. enak :9 ,,, & honey wafel & leci. :

the local food,, raw fish ,, eat it with a kind of onion :)

they are really pretty.... T___T

there is a complicated mechanism behind, to play all the instruments

Museum of Indonesia

then we went to Madurodam, the place where you can see the miniature of Netherland.. we had to pay 14,5 euro to get in there.. here are some of the pics :

then went to Scheveningen beach.. usually it is a crowded beach.. but that day it was really windy & cold.. I had to wear my jacket, syal & even my 'kupluk' hat!! I wanted to give a standing ovation to the girls with only their bikini there ... but I was too shy.. *naon sih mar..ahahaha :P

here are the pics :

then we went back home.. to Delft..

all of the ATM are built in

thousands of bike at the train station... so many bikes that you can't see where it ends! :D

then we arrived at home.. ate Thai food for dinner... thx a lot :) we would leave Delft the next day.. :)

smart things I found :

-. the stamps are like sticker.. so you just peel the back part, and voila! you don't need any glue / saliva again :P

-. I just knew that we can throw the tissue into the toilet.. haha practical & not disgusting :P

-. actually the roads are not wide.. only 1 lane for car, 1 for car parking, 1 for bike, 1 for trem. it's enough :)

day 1, 200711.. touch down schipol airport :)

2011-08-23T04:03:00.000-07:00

we started 'this' day with :

took the Primajasa bus to Jakarta airport for 3,5 hours

flew to Dubai for 7 hours

had a transit at Dubai Airport for 3 hours.. everybody took a rest there :D

....... I think that is a really not comfortable position though.. :P

all kind of money is there ^^

Dubai airport, modern & clean design with the traditional pattern accent =)

Then we continued to fly to Schipol, Amsterdam for 6 hours.. I was a little nervous as the immigration post, but we passed it..yey!! hahaha.. then we wanted to activate our eurail pass, we went to 'International Train' officer,,, and turned out that the officer can speak Indonesia! ahahaha XD we were really surprise when he interrupted a disccusion between me & my mom.. :P

* oh yah.. I didn't take the picture of Schipol.. hahaha we just passed it by quickly to our train.. hehe

then, after 19,5 hours of journey we had to take the train to Delft, to meet our first host (Tante Nanan) =)

inside the train. we just sat near the door because we didn't know how far Delft is.. we didn't want to miss it! haha ^^

Den Haag train station (we must go to Den Haag before Delft)

Delft, Netherland

a super nice town.. super bicycle friendly town.. it was really quite because it was a holiday,, people were having vacation somewhere else.. I figured out that there were a lot of park & trees here and there..and where do all the people live? in flats.. lots of flat.. but also lots of park.. I like it :)

our host flat is a specially designed flat for elderly people. you must be over 55 y o to rent it. there were elevators & ramps, but not only that... all the doors had a button, so people on a wheelchair can just push the button & the door will open itself :D

btw, here the parking fee is expensive,, around 1euro / hour!! ( 1 euro = 12.500 IDR )

that night we ate pork & lekkerbag fish.. it was our first time to eat dinner in sunshine :D because it was summer, sun will set at 10 pm.. it was really interesting ^^ so we ate dinner when the clock showed 8 o'clock & we closed the curtain to blocked the sunshine before we slept.. hahaha :P

we slept at 9 p.m that night.. what a long day for us... it was 2 a.m already in Indonesia :)

1. copy the image from the DVD to my computer

2011-08-20T11:16:00.000-07:00

wow!!!
home again after a long exciting holiday, gives you a lot of 'homework',,, :D hahaa I 'have to' :
1. copy the image from the DVD to my computer
2. select the image and erase the bad ones
3. write the blog of each day
4. upload the pics to facebook
5. maybe print some of the pics and collect them all into an album, together with the post card & maps & tickets I had :)

I was just doing no 1.. copy the images... when suddenly it crashed, and I was panic because those are my only master files of my pics... then at the 2nd DVD, I know how I should've done it :

TIPS :
1. insert your DVD
2. open them in a new window, view as in 'medium size' icon
3. roll here and there until ALL of the thumbnails show the image
4. block and copy them all to your computer
5. finish :D

DO NOT copy them before the thumbnails shown ALL of it,, otherwise it will crash and hang... do not show the thumbnails too big because it will slower down your computer..

HAPPY COPYING!! :D

home again!!! :)

2011-08-20T05:52:00.000-07:00

home again!!! :)
hah... the eurotrip felt like just a dream... :) so many stories... happy... nervous,, tired,,, laugh,, etc
too many to just mention in one post..
even I can't collect it in my brain now..hahaha..
I will try to write my stories day by day... and also select the pictures to upload .. because I took so many pictures & I didn't bring my laptop with me & I couldn't evaluate my pics , so I just burnt them all..hehehe

will write the details soon.. :) thx God I've made it.. today is awesome..:)

hotels & itinerary

2011-07-06T05:17:00.000-07:00

heiiii..... just feeling lack of mood lately...
have lots of things in my mind that aren't done yet.. I don't like that feeling -____-

anyway, want to post a little progress about my eurotrip..
we will be in europe for 30 days,, thank God that we have 2 relatives that are willing to be our host so we don't have to pay for the hotel at those days... and also thanks a lot for www.hospitalityclub.org , so we could find several nice new friends that are willing to be our host...

for the rest of the nights, we search for hostel / cheap hostel.. (you can find the link in my previous post)

here are the details for our accommodation and also our itinerary,, there are also the name of the hotel & the price for one person for 1 night, and is it a dorm or a private room :

you can see that we spend 5,8 million rupiah for the hotels for the entire trip for the 2 of us.. =)

such a tight itinerary, eh? hehehe.. I think so.. just hope we can go through it happily =)

*I put them all in excel so I can hyper-link the hotel name to the web site then =)

eurotrip... dimulai...

2011-06-25T04:53:00.000-07:00

wow,,,tgl berapa ini? 25 juni ! wowwowowowowowooooo
tgl 20 juli (yes, less than a month) saya mu pergi ke eropa! sama si mama... berdua... selama 1 bulan... backpacking... edan nekat ga sih..hahaha XD yes we are...wkwkwk...
hm.... dag dig dug nya udah dimulai dari sebelumnya sih... (=sekarang).. mulai dari :

1. bikin visa schengen... berdasarkan saran dari tante,, visa schengen lebih gampang bikin di bali,, jadi lah mei kmaren pas ada tiket murah airasia, kita sambar aja itu dan pergi ke bali... cerita selengkapnya untuk bali escape itu bisa dilihat di link tumblr saya.
2. ternyata beneran approved!!!! ^^ ya syarat nya emang ribet sih, tapi dsana kaya lebih santai,,, yg penting tabungan kudu BANYAK :D hehehe... kita apply buat visa turis 30 hari, malah keluarnya 60 hari...hahaha ^^ bisa gitu ya ternyata :P
3. kmaren udah booking2 hotel... mayanlah dari bbrp web ttg hotel dan hostel, dengan budget per orang per malam pengen less than 25 euro, kesampean... di 5 kota untungnya dapet host dari www.hospitalityclub.org , tapi sisanya ya pake hotel dan hostel itu..hehehe... booking di www.hrs.com , www.hostelworld.com , www.hostels.com sama www.booking.com . lumayan tuh searching2 aja dari situ..hehehe
4. transport dsana nya euyyyyyy... sedikit menyesal karena kita terlanjur beli eurail pass... jadi dsana ceritanya ga usah beli tiket kereta, tinggal tunjukin pass itu... tapi ternyata untuk bbrp kereta, diwajibkan reservasi dulu (terutama untuk kereta malam),,, klo ngga, klo ampe penuh ya kita harus beli tiket lagi. WTH coba ya..wkwkwkwkw nahhh yg jadi masalah, si reservasinya itu kaya gabisa dilakuin online dari indonesia -_________- tau gitu beli tiket satu2 lebih afdol deh kynya... (pake credit card, dikirim lewat email, gitu2) ni malah jadi kynya harus agak2 harap2 cemas deh.. pas nyampe sana baru booking :( ... ktnya pas peak season disarankan untuk booking dari sebelumnya... ARGH dasar kau plin plan ga jelas!!!! :(
5. yasudah, itinerary sudah agak fix, akomodasi dan tempat bermalam sudah 90% beres.. sekarang mendata tempat2 apa saja yg ingin didatangi... semoga lancar ya semuanyaaa :) :) :)

hai blog... hm.... sudah menunda bbrp kali untuk menulis ini,, tapi akhirnya nulis juga deh..
menulis tanpa maksud untuk menjelek-jelekan orang, hanya untuk sebagai pengingat diri sendiri..

hm... kenapa ya gua sangat terganggu klo ada temen yg merahasiakan sesuatu dari gua?

here are the cases :

A : "eh.. IP lu berapa sekarang?" *nanya ke si B yg emang terkenal pintar.*
B: "yah... mayanlah..hehehe"
A : " berapa??"
B : "hehe.. ada deh... " *senyum simpul karna ga enak*

B : "heiii apa kabar? denger2 mu ke eropa ya?"
A :"hei... haha.. ya itu baru rencana sih,, mudah2 an aja jadi...
B : " ohhh iya sip sip.. sedia duit berapa banyak?"
A: " -sekian- ... jaga2 takut kurang.. tapi moga2 aja cukup..hahaha.. eh gmana lu seudah lulus gini, apa rencananya?"
B :"... ada sih,, lagi apply beasiswa di luar.. doakan berhasil yaa..."
A :"ohhhh dimana???"
B : " ..... ada deh... hehehe...."
A :" -_____-

A : "hei....kumaha,, udah dapet gawe?"
B: "iya udah.. di jakarta..hehehe"
A : "hooo sip sip.. gajinya berapa euy?"
B: "hah? emang kenapa gitu?"
A:" ya gapapa.. nanya aja..hehe"
B:"haha.. dasar" *setelah ditunggu2... ujung2nya tidak menjawab juga*
A : " -__-

mungkin maksudnya kaya ga enak,, atau klo dia bilang, takut dibilang sombong... tapi u know what? klo kamu ga bilang, itu teh lebih sombong daripada klo kamu cerita aja tau gak?

atau malu? takut terlalu jelek? padahal kan gua ga akan nge judge juga.. -____- bener2 ga ngerti sama orang2 seperti itu...

pdhl gua kan cuma nanya.. ya emang buat ngebandingin sama gua,, klo dia lebih bagus, I will congrats her/him & saya juga harus mengejar itu... kalau dia lebih jelek, saya harus mensyukuri apa yg saya punya... just as simple as that.. -_-'

my status today

2011-05-09T21:18:00.000-07:00

hai blog.. just want to write down few things that I've done and I'll do :)

okai.. this year (2010-2011),, I've been working as a private teacher,, especially for elementary & junior high school kids... banyak pengalaman yg menarik... what I feel when I look back all this year is :

it is a great job.. saya bisa mengajar orang.. melihat perkembangan dia.. ada saat2 di mana kesabaran saya benar-benar diuji.. hehehe... kadang-kadang merasa stuck. 'harus gmana ya cara ngajarinnya biar dia ngerti?'.. paling terpukul kalau ulangannya jelek.,.. ahhhh merasa gagal :P tapi ya that's how we learn together.. :) akhirnya saya menyimpulkan bahwa setiap anak itu berbeda-beda,, tapi yg sering harus ditekankan saat mengajar adalah : berikan penjelasan yang sejelas-jelasnya, lalu berikan latihan soal bbrp buah yg serupa (cuma beda angka doank),, biar nempel.. baru kasih yg agak susah nya.. hehehe.. *kadang2 saya suka terlalu cepat memberikan soal yg susah.. jadi jah si anak teh rada lieur kynya :P
hm... they learnt from me, but actually I learnt from them too.. saya bisa melihat bahwa anak benar-benar terbentuk dari lingkungan / keluarganya / gurunya.. untung sekali saya mendengar kata2 ajaib dari Prof. Surya 'tidak ada anak yg bodoh, yg ada hanyalah anak yg tidak memiliki kesempatan menemukan guru yg baik'... saya harus selalu mengingat kata-kata itu.. saya harus berusaha menjadi guru yang baik.. karena setiap anak sebenarnya punya potensi dan kecerdasan di dalam dirinya. :)
the 'worst' starting could be the best result in the end.. yap,, ada anak yg pertama les itu (maap ya) bisa dibilang parahhhh pisan... dia ga ngerti positif negatif,, bedanya panjang, luas dan volume,, dll... untungnya dia mau rajin latihan... n sekarang melihat kemampuan dia, dan membandingkannya dengan kemampuan awalnya, sangat membuat saya senang & bangga :)
my daily life... hahahahah... sedikit malu membeberkan betapa sehari-hari saya masih sempat bermalas-malasan :P .. pekerjaan ini memang agak 'part time'.. sehingga membuat saya masih sempat ini itu.. (nulis blog, *EHM!) hahaha.. weekend kadang2 bisa hunting foto sama temen,, dll.. saya tidak boleh mengeluh,, this is the free-est job I'll have in my entire life..hehehehe.. maybe this is the last year I can do malas-malasan & long holiday like the students..hehehe.. nikmati aja semuanya,, jangan mengeluh,, give out your best :)
yah,, begitulah kehidupan saya 1 tahun ini.. part time - happy - job... kadang2 jenuh karna saya ga punya teman kerja... semuanya dilakukan sendiri, bikin soal, nyetir,, dll... tapi ya anak2 itu bisa menjadi teman saya.. :) seneng klo bisa belajar sambil bercanda-bercanda :)

okei.. that's my status right now.. and here is my plan for the future :

plan A is.. apply to be a photographer in Bali... jadi sekarang harus kumpulin porto buat sendiri.. show my 'taste' from it :)
plan B... maybe become a designer,, in Bali..hehehe.. so yeah, 90% of my plan is , I'll move to Bali.. it's a mixture of excitement & fear, actually.. hehehe ya.. mungkin akan menyenangkan punya temen kerja,, punya senior,, punya bos yg lebih pintar di bidangnya, dan saya bisa belajar banyak dari mereka.. and I will live alone.. belajar mandiri.. I MIGHT learn how to cook (walaupun impossible n udah berencana mau nge stock abon aja..hahaha) XD .. tapi ya... it's a learning process.. I have to do it to become more pro in things I want.. :)
4 minggu lagi kayanya anak2 bakal udah beres sekolah.. what should I do? hahaha .. kayanya sih harus bikin porto.. bikin web online.. dan menurut pakar terpercaya, in order to have a good network, I should make a twitter account.. I think I'll try that.. promote more... semoga bisa mendapatkan client2 lain :)
kemarin sempat berbicara dengan si pacar,, about me going to Bali.. saya bilang, 'takut' mendapat kesempatan karir yg lebih luas & jauh, sehingga nanti kita semakin jauh saja..heehehe.. dia bilang 'ya gapapa sok aja.. semakin jauh, nanti kan semakin ingin pulang' =).. hehehe... semoga benar terjadi ya... mumpung masih ada waktu,, ingin melakukan dan mengambil kesempatan-kesempatan yg ada, before I have to come home to you :)

(udah kaya artis aja gitu mereka dikerubungin) hahaha X) ... seudah tampak nya udah keluar semua,, saya mencari teman Legio saya yg juga wisuda... masuklah saya ke dalem sabuga,, bareng tika.. ketemu si Dimas.. kasih bunga, poto2... trus ketemu Gin.. my bf... sudah lama sekali (3 atau 4 minggu) ga ketemu... tapi tampaknya suasananya membingungkan ya... gin juga kayanya lagi seneng ketemu temen2nya .. jadi sedikit tercueki...wkwkwkwkw.. yasudalah...
trus akhirnya saya cabut ke temen2 SR lagi.. bertemu wiwid lagi.. dapet kabar 2 temen kita kehilangan BB !! ya ampun... trus curhat2 ama wiwid.. keliling2 ITB..hehehe :) berakhir di indonesia tenggelam.. :) trus ngajar deh jam 5..hehehe

sat night.. pegi ama Gin ke Congo.. jaraaaaaaaang sekali kita bisa punya waktu dinner bareng (biasanya gin dateng minggu pagi,, minggu sore udah harus pulang),, jadi kesempatan ini jarang2 datang.. dan ternyata kita trahir ngafe tuh 2009 !! edan sekarang udah 2011..wkwkwkwk...ke congo.. makan sup ikan kakap lemon pedas.. sama steak.. foto2 juga.. :) trus pulang..

minggu pagi.. ke gereja bareng gin & kocan... trus ngobrol2 ama gin... menyenangkan sekali,,, tampak nya kmren kita memang sama2 lagi cape,, (kmaren gin lagi ga mood,,--> ini yg baru aku tau hari ini... bahwa he won't stay like yesterday forever),, hah.... akhirnya perasaan hati ini kembali normal dan senang...:) gin sering ngelucu,,, ngejailin,, baik,,, dll... senang... trus kita rapat legio,, trus ke BEC tapi penuh n jadi malas,, jadi ke bee mall yg ya ampun sepinya kaya kuburan... lampu2 pada gelap,,,ga banget deh pokonya.... hahahaha.. trus pulang deh....
sore,, ke rumah cici n koko di pangkur... gin penasaran banget kynya pengen gendong oi..hahaha ^^ akhirnya berhasil,,, :) .. trus pulang...

minggu malam,, gin pulang ke cjr,, dan saya ke tomodachi,, moniq ultah... :) ketemu vina lawu, memel, monik, milsha, keke, windy,, :) geus jadi artis euy sekarang mah ^^ ketemu juga ama ria n keke..hohoho.. ngobrol macem2... dan ternyata klo cewe2 seumuran kita ngumpul tuh emang yg dibahas 'kerja apa sekarang? sampe kapan? trus kapan nikah?" wkwkwkwkwkw... iya sih,, monik ultah ke 24 ! udah 24 loh kita sekarang taun ini..wkwkwkwkwk,,, meni bodor...

PS : bukan maria namanya klo ga labil...wkwkwkwkwk. :P senin pagi.. membuka fb... melihat foto teman2... sedikit menyesal,, tidak menggunakan waktu kuliah dengan baik... sebenernya emang sih ga mungkin dapet semuanya... get some pasti loose some... tapi saya menyadari, lain kali saya harus punya pilihan sendiri,, ga cuma ikut temen,, atau ikut pacar,, atau apapun... biar ga menyesal di kemudian hari... :) optimis mar!! you have your own target & accomplishment anyway :) & you always have God in you.. :)

Marry Me
Train

Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way

Marry me today and every day
Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will, say you will

Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful

Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way

Marry me today and every day
Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will, say you will

Promise me you'll always be happy by my side
I promise to sing to you when all the music dies

And marry me today and everyday
Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will, say you will marry me

love you :)

geez... another day I've wasted

what's wrong with me.. doing thing just because I am in the mood for it...
why I can't control my mood & my activities & my schedule??
always just get the mood if the deadline is near... no lies.. that's really what I felt all these time..

always sad when I see other's accomplishment,,, never realize what I have at this time...

if you start to worry about tomorrow,, you'll end up wasting your time today.. and you won't go anywhere , really..

do your best each day,, day by day,, cheer up & feel grateful for what you do have today!!

It is a happy day today :) :) spend the day with my boy,, =)

Actually, a few days earlier weren't our best days... I've felt like I was holding back something & I was too afraid that I would tear us apart if I said it.. but you know what,, the truth is, you will tear your relationship apart, when you keep silent & dragging yourself away from your partner, consciously / unconsciously. =)

so days before we talked quite seriously about us,,, and today could be the happiest time, or could be the doubt-fullest time, if we had found that we aren't happy together even when we are actually seeing each other..

so.. yeah.. =) it was so much fun today... I feel so much closer to him than before,, as I had said everything that I've kept from him,, & I could see he is trying to do it better for me =)

love love you =) I'll always miss your jokes,, always, always & always :)

When my grandpa passed away..

2010-12-22T08:49:00.000-08:00

my grandpa passed away 2 days ago.. at Tuesday morning, around 8 am.

before that, he was already sick for months. cause he was really old, 88 years old.. my dad used to accompanied him to a doctor, and his another son accompanied him to another doctor,, it had been like that for years..

when I first knew that he was gone, I wasn't sad.. I wasn't sad at all.. (I actually felt weird). I felt like it is the best thing for him, because for the last weeks he seemed really sick & painful days and nights.

but later I started to think about him,,

you know, he always said that he wanted to go 'home' so he could meet his wife.. my grandma has passed away, 12 years ago. in an accident. actually they had the accident together,, grandpa broke his pelvis (thigh bone), and grandma passed away.. that was the hardest part of his life.. being conscious at the hospital,, seeing his leg gipsed,, and no one can answer 'how is my wife?' question...

...

but he was strong.. from the time that he couldn't walk + he had no passion to live again,, until he could walk with his walking stick, or even by himself ... when he got back to his house, their room, grandpa never put away grandma's clothes.

in his last weeks,, he often said that he wanted to go 'home'.. once, at the hospital, he said 'when my time has come, please don't be sad.. I'll be fine there,, mom is there already, she'll take care of me,," ....

now, after 12 years, finally they can be together again. anyhow, that makes me sadder.. it's like he has reached his finish line....

and seeing my dad (& uncles & aunties) crying,, that's sad..
remembering his smiling face..that's sad...

and yeah,, somehow,, overwhelmed with all that feeling, I cried too..

and there was I..
seeing my grandpa in his coffin,
surrounded by kids, grandkids, and great grandkids all together,,
in a nice decorated place,,
with successful children..
isn't that the biggest happiness a human can ask for?

=')

*God is good*

2010-12-15T23:33:00.000-08:00

He got a plan, to sing a song if the girl said yes..

It was, love of a lifetime:

Love of a Lifetime
-W.Leverty-C.Snare-

I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me

Chorus:
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) we know that we will be together because our love is strong

Chorus

nobody says it was easy

2010-12-05T18:37:00.000-08:00

being a leader is not easy...
not easy, at all...

I once became a leader... a sudden leader..hahaha... I was a new kids on that group, but the previous leader had to stop being one. and the group needed someone to fill in that position.. I didn't know anything,, for real... I had just joined that group for 3 months,, and the other members were older than me..

but they chose me

and I couldn't do anything.. I just believed that God had chosen me,, that He needed me..

it was not easy,,, there was a rule saying that the leader had to cover his/her bad feeling.. leader should keep his/her own problems from the members, or else the members would get down too...

it was not easy.. many members got out from that group... I was confuse.. was there something wrong with me? but I had to search new members & I'd better to focus my mind on that...

it was not easy,,, so tired... but then again, I couldn't show my feeling.. that was hard... I am not a kind of person who can angry with the right way.. so whether I just keep silent, or I become angry furiously and lost other's respect...

then again,,, I just realize now... the leader has never had a chair mate... the sitting position is arranged..and that automatically makes the leader has no chair mate... while the other members can talk & chat during the meeting (and after that),, the leader can't...

the leader has to support the members to come to the meeting regularly,,, asks their problems, and cheer them up,,, however, not all the members like that action... I just knew now, that members prefer to get closer to another member than to the leader... they may have secrets from the leader, because the leader is the most 'not easygoing' person...

other thing was, the leader mustn't come late.. sometimes that was annoying when my mom asked me to have a breakfast with her & I said I can't...

....

2,5 years, I became the leader of that group... I can't believe I could go through it all that long... Quite a long time, huh... many ups and downs..

now my era is over,,, another person become the leader now...It is not easy, I know :)
I wrote this to inform the members, keep in your mind that becoming the leader is not easy..

no chair mate, that is the saddest thing I feel sometimes...

goodluck bro,, I know you can do it,,, better than me :) I'll help you as much as I can...

strange weekend

2010-10-31T04:25:00.000-07:00

A : hei, where did you go last weekend?
B :oh, I went to PVJ on Saturday, and went to IP on Sunday

that's it the common conversation we may have :D but I've just had one of a kind weekend :)
I went to Cicalengka on saturday, & went to Ciroyom on Sunday.. I'll tell you the story :)

on saturday, me & my friends were going to Cicalengka by train. We just want to see place & took photographs of whatever we find there.. we didn't know at all what was the place like :D

okai... kita ( 6 orang : maria, wia, tria, adel, Iqra, Findhika) pergi naek kereta patas dengan tiket seharga 5000 rupiah, berangkat jam 10.10 dari stasiun bandung... poto-poto....

sampai di sana jam 10.41.... poto-poto...ni beberapa poto yg diambil oleh Wia :)

teras GJ tempat kita nongkrong & buka bekel :D

my fav pic ^^

trus kita cuma naek jembatan yang hanya bisa dideskripsikan dengan 1 kata : "ipis" ..hahaha XD jembatan teh tipis pisan sampe klo jalan, dekok2 di bawah kaki kita..wahahhaa trus nongkrong dengan GJ di sebuah teras, makan bekel yg dibawa oleh Iqra dengan sangat baikkkk :) trus poto bersama,,, trus pulang deh naek kereta 12.15
itu juga ampir ketinggalan kereta dengan bodohnya!!!!!!!! >.<
kita ga tau kereta yg dari tadi kita poto2 in teh adalah kereta kita,,, sampe ada ting tong ting tong dan dia hampir bergerak!!!! yaampunnnnnnnnnnn wakkakakkakak XD
sampe bandung jam 1 an.... trus duduk2... beli conan... udah deh,,, saya pulang jam 3 :)
nice day, good friends, good new friend, new experience,, lengkaplah sudah :) :)

ni thumbnails hasil poto2 jepretan saya... selengkapnya bisa diliat di album fb :D

(*album ini dikomen positif sama teman2... seneng dehhh :' ) thx guys.... )

okai,,, hari minggu... saya ke gereja pagi seperti biasa,,, trus legio,,, trus diajakin temen survey sebuah rumah belajar di ciroyom... jadi lah saya ikut,, kita = 3 orang, maria, wiro & Toni.

dari aloy naek angkot ke kampus,, beresin ini itu, trus naek angkot caheum-ciroyom,,, jauhhhhhhhhhhh pisan... sampe ke ciroyom (yang saya baru inget oh ini toh tempatnya pas udah sampe :P )
tempatnya adalah pasar,,,, yang dilengkapi dengan TPS di dekatnya... 1 kata : bau.
mu bau apa aja, terserah, tapi yg pasti bau...
dikenalin dengan anak2 nya yg juga tidak bisa dikatakan bersih lah :P hehehe..
trus kita ke atas... ternyata lagi ada acara... lagi ada yg ulang taun :) :)
kita disambut dengan sangatttttt sederhana... makan nasi bungkus bersama ( tapi kita udah makan siang, jadi nasi nya kita bawa pulang).. mereka nyanyi2,, senang sekali tampaknya... kita masih kikuk kikuk gitu :P :P
ada bapak2 kasih sambutan 'terimakasih sudah datang ke sini... ya mungkin jadi menambah wawasan,, beginilah Indonesia yg sebenarnya" (jadi inget rencana saya ikut indonesia mengajar untuk ngajar ke pedalaman2,,, ternyata di bandung aja masih ada ya yg kaya gini...wkwkwkw :P )

trus,,,, kita gak lama sih di sana... mereka ngebanjur si Nur yg hari itu ulang taun.... ulang taun ke berapa? ke 17 katanya.. (wewww dulu waktu saya & teman2 ultah ke 17,, sweet seventeen cnah,,, dirayain besar2an) .. benar2 hidup ini aneh ya..hehehe.. temen2 nya kasih pesen... (ada kakak2nya juga di sana yg suka ngajar mereka),, doa nya semoga Nur ga ngelem lagi... tambah dewasa, bahagia, dll... (yap,,, sesudah makan pun, bocah2 itu merokok... dan mereka suka ngelem...) haduh ko bisa ya anak2 yg kurang secara ekonomi ini menggunakan uang mereka untuk beli barang2 tidak berguna itu??? bingung saya...

lalu... kami pun pamit... naek angkot lagi....
jauh
bau
aneh
campur aduk.

kita masih ngobrol2 sih di angkot,, entah jadi mu rutin ngajar ke sana atau ngga... katanya ada juga di babakan siliwangi, tempat seperti itu,,, kynya kudu survey ke sana dulu deh...

hm....anyway... permenungan & perundingan masih akan dilanjutkan.. now here I am.. looking at my awkward weekend... awkward life I had here... awkward friends.. new friends... new people...

everything..

how I love my life so much =)

*ini post mungkin post paling tidak penting..hahaha XD*

anyway.....
I saw him for the first time 6 months ago
my friend introduced me about him
He was a jerk in a TV Series (yeah... How I Met Your Mother, it is) wkwkwkwkwk
I didn't like him
But he IS funny,, and he has got the sweetest smile a man can have (after my bf) wakakaakaakkak XD
He IS a really great actor, I must say... his acting is four thumbs up!!!
He acted as a guy who like to play with girls.. and he DOES have all that charm..

but who knows that the real thing is,, he is actually a gay???

it makes girls said : WHAT??? I don't believe that he is gay.. :'(
and boys said : thx God he is gay.. unless there will be no place for the other guys..wakakakka XD

ladies & gentlemen, I introduce you toooooooo:

Neil Patrick Harris

you should watch him in his best video : NPH interviewed by elmo oh so cute

Elmo laughs at the 'pajama song"

Elmo surprised that Neil loves carrot :D

so cute :) :) :) seems like he is gonna be a good father..hahaha

*latest news I got from my friend is, he and his gay spouse have just have their twin babies!! ^^

I just think that love is universal. everybody has right to love & be loved
homosexual is not a crime,, I wish everyone can agree with me & not discriminate the minority ones :)

NPH, you inspired me as an actor, and you can live your life as you wish, without disturbing others.
hypothetically high five!! ^^/

sex ed for kids

2010-10-16T05:25:00.000-07:00

Today I attended a weird thing for me. parent's meeting @ Semi palar school. talking about 'how to ed your kids about sex",,, wahhahaha I don't even have a kid now, but it was interesting & I attended that because one of my student goes to that school. I think the 'seminar' is too good to kept for my self, so I'll share it here. (although I know maybe the message won't come to you as clear as the original one ^^v). anyway, hope it helps! :)

Hari ini ada 2 pembicara nya. 1 Ibu Nadsah, M.Psi. dan 1 nya lagi Pastur Ferry. jangan anggap Pastur Ferry ini 'ga tau apa-apa ttg sex, keluarga, dan mendidik anak", dia sering jadi pembicara & mendampingi pasangan2 suami istri di ME, dan remaja di Choice, dan juga retret & rekoleksi untuk anak. maap kalo saya ceritanya ga lengkap & runut yaa,,, tapi hal-hal baru yang menurut saya penting untuk di catat adalah:

menurut Ibu Nadsah, anak harus pisah tidur dari ortu sejak umur 2. itu salah satu cara mengajarkan anak ttg privacy nya, membedakan yg private & tidak, dan membuat anak sadar tentang dirinya sendiri.
inti dari sex-ed untuk anak adalah, anak perlu memiliki self-esteem / harga diri yang tinggi. jangan sampai sesudah remaja & berpacaran, dia rela memberikan apa pun untuk pacarnya karena takut kehilangan & tidak PD.
sebagai informasi, cowo2 kelas 3 SD p**** nya bisa sudah bereaksi klo dia melihat wanita berpakaian seksi (bahkan ibu nya sendiri). oh iya, diharapkan juga sewaktu menjelaskan ke anak, jangan mengganti dengan istilah2 burung, dompet, dll. katakan pe*** sebagai pe***, dan va**** sebagai va****. bila ortu memberi kesan bahwa itu tabu, jorok, dll, itu bisa ditangkap secara salah oleh anak2.
ekspresikanlah secara tepat ketika anda menjelaskan tentang sex kepada anak anda. (definisi yang menurut saya paling bagus datang dari Pst Ferry). sex itu normal & alami, semuanya itu diciptakan oleh Tuhan. dan semua yg diciptakan oleh Tuhan, pasti baik adanya, dengan maksud yang baik pula. karena itu, kita harus bisa menjaga & bertanggung jawab akan pemberian Tuhan ini.
sebaiknya saat berbicara kepada anak, kedua orang tua hadir. tapi yang PASTI HARUS adalah kedua orang tua merumuskan bersama, bagaimana cara mereka akan membicarakan hal ini dengan anak mereka. Karena itu pula, hal ini mustahil terjadi bila antar pasangan suami istri tidak saling terbuka, atau memiliki hubungan seks yg tidak sehat.
ada cara yang sangat baik, untuk mencegah anak2 mengakses hal yang bukan-bukan dari media lain. tempat kan semua TV, komputer, dll. di ruang tengah. kamar tidur hanya untuk tidur. dan begitu pula untuk orang tua. orang tua tidak bisa melarang anak, tapi di sisi lain melakukan hal tersebut. beri contoh dan teladan pada anak, itu akan lebih efektif.
bila anak melihat hal seronok, atau poster film yg seksi dan dia bertanya, (oh, ada yg harus dilakukan sebelum menjelaskan pada anak, pertama, harus tanyakan dulu "menurut kamu itu gimana?", sehingga kita tau apa yg sudah ada di pikiran dia dan kita bisa menjelaskan sesuai dengan pengetahuan awal yg dia miliki). nah daripada bilang, 'kamu jangan seronok, atau kamu jangan pake pakaian seksi, dll", ajak dia berpikir " bagus ga kaya gitu? kalau perempuan pakai baju seksi, yang rugi siapa?".. dst... jangan hanya memberi peraturan, tapi ajak mereka berpikir bersama & mengerti.
ada orang tua yg menanyakan gimana kalau anak tidak sengaja melihat orang tua nya sedang berhubungan. sekali lagi, pertama adalah tanyakan perasaan & pikiran dia, apa yg dia pikirkan saat melihat hal tersebut. lalu jelaskan 'itu cara papa & mama saling menyayangi, nanti kamu setelah menikah juga seperti itu, maaf bila itu membuat kamu bingung, seharusnya kau tidak perlu melihatnya".. dan ternyata, banyak anak2 yg ketika melihat itu bilang bahwa dia merasa ayahnya menyakiti ibu nya. dalam hal ini, ayah & ibu harus bicara bersama. ibu harus bilang bahwa 'ibu tidak disakiti ayah, ayah tidak jahat", sehingga mereka mengerti. dan ini juga point tambahan mengapa anak harus pisah kamar dengan ayah ibu nya. penelitian mengatakan banyak anak yg tidur bersama ortu nya, terbangun ketika ada aktivitas tersebut, tapi mereka pura-pura tidur. (saya seram sekali membayangkannya). mereka bisa pura-pura tidur, dan mungkin menyimpan kesimpulan "ayah jahat ke ibu" tadi pada dirinya sendiri.,, karena itu sebaiknya anak dipisah tidurnya dari orang tua.
selalu sediakan waktu untuk mendengar cerita anak, sehingga ketika ada sesuatu yg mereka sembunyikan / rahasiakan / pikirkan, ortu bisa menyadari nya dan menanyakannya.
Pst Ferry dengan tegas mengatakan anak sebaiknya jangan pacaran sampai SMA / kuliah. kadang2 anak TK / SD suka 'pacar2-an", jadi waktu mereka tanya boleh pacaran ga? tanya dulu, setau kamu, pacaran itu apa? yg disini disebutkan ga boleh adalah benar-benar pacaran. bilang ke anak, jangan gunakan istilah itu, lebih baik berteman / bersahabat. karena pacaran bisa membuat anak kehilangan banyak teman. (pacarnya marah kalau dia main sama yang lain, dll). sedangkan istilah pacaran yg digunakan secara tidak serius , mempunya dampak buruk bisa membuat anak menganggap sepele pacaran sebenarnya pada saat dia remaja nanti..
sekarang banyak anak laki-laki yg agak feminin, karena kehilangan figur ayah. lapangan untuk bermain semakin jarang untuk anak laki-laki. ayah sering kerja & capai, sehingga figur yang ada hanya lah ibu, atau pun pembantu wanita. untuk single parents, mungkin bisa digantikan dengan paman / laki-laki lain, asalkan dia punya figur yg bisa dia anut. orang tua harus mengajarkan anak2 mereka menjadi 'ibu dan ayah' masa depan. bentuk mereka menjadi wanita yang baik, dan lelaki yang baik. (ada suatu film di filipina, seorang wanita dihamili oleh teman pria nya yg gagah & berotot, tapi pria itu tidak mau bertanggung jawab. lalu wanita itu tinggal di kampung bersama seorang gay yang bersedia menikahi dia dan merawat anak itu dengan penuh kasih sayang. judulnya "lelaki di kehidupan saya". pertanyaan yg kemudian muncul, lelaki yang mana di film itu yg bisa disebut lelaki?? karena itu, figur & nilai-nilai baik harus disadari, ditanamkan & diberi contoh oleh orang tua)
unfinished bussiness with father, bisa membuat anak lelaki menjadi gay (kehilangan figur ayah), ataupun anak perempuan menjadi lesbi (sakit hati & tidak pernah mau percaya dengan laki-laki manapun).
bicara tentang masturbasi, itu adalah hal yg wajar karena efek dari hormon, asalkan berada dalam frekuensi yg masih wajar. sebaiknya anak laki-laki diarahkan untuk banyak berolahraga agar dorongan hormon tidak terlalu tinggi.
untuk single parent, misalkan hanya ibu yg membesarkan anak seorang diri, jangan tanamkan pada anak bahwa "ayah mu itu jahat, tidak bertanggung jawab, dll" itu akan membuat anak terluka lagi. sebaiknya biarkan masalah hanya ada di antara ayah & ibu, jangan beritahu ke anak. anak sudah terluka karena ayah yang pergi, ibu tidak usah menyiksa anak lagi dengan kata2 seperti itu. ceritakan sifat-sifat ayah yang baik kepada anak.

sekian... :D

semoga berguna untuk siapa pun, mungkin untuk saya juga, 10 tahun lagi..hahahaha ^^

2010-10-05T05:55:00.000-07:00

Have I told you that I've joined Legio Mariae?
yep, saya ikut Legio Mariae.. sudah lebih dari 3 tahun ya saya gabung (sejak april 2007.. woww lama juga :P )

what do we really do?
tiap minggu kita ditugaskan berdua-dua untuk melakukan tugas-tugas:

ke rumah sakit ngejenguk yg lagi sakit (terutama yg lagi sendirian & ga ada yg nungguin)
ke panti asuhan ngajarin anak2 SD pelajaran sekolah yg ga dimengerti
ke Wyata Guna (jadi reader buat orang2 buta di sana)
ke panti jompo ( nengok & ngajak ngobrol oma-oma & opa-opa di sana, mungkin mereka bosan dan rindu keluarga mereka :) )
dll,, ada kunjungan sesama anggota, ke anggota auxilier, ke calon anggota, dll..

tiap minggu 1 tugas.

hari ini, saya tugas ke panti jompo bersama tika. it was surely not my first time there.. saya sudah pernah ke sana,, tau lah kira2 gmana tugasnya ,, ngajak ngobrol oma-oma,,, ada juga pastur yang sudah masuk masa pensiun di sana,, tanya2 tentang masa muda nya, nanya sehat gak? gitu-gitu,,,most of the times it were just a chitty chat that I forgot as soon as I left that place.

tapi hari ini terasa berbeda..

setelah menyapa oma-oma dan mendengarkan cerita mereka..

ketemu pastur Ghani, weww he was so much older than the last time I saw him, sekarang berdiri pun susah, jalan2 harus pake kursi roda, terakhir ketemu masih bisa jalan sendiri pake tongkat.
ketemu oma candra, soooooo much thinner now . ( I mean, really really thin,, tulang berbalut kulit).. nanya saya : kamu teh anaknya tukang cilok bukan?? wakakkaka X)
kenalan dengan oma agustina , dia dulu bidan di boromeus (weww mungkin saya dilahirkan olehnya..hehe),, dia cerita, dia taun lalu kecelakaan, di cadas pangeran. 1 mobil panther meninggal semua kecuali dia.. dan tulang nya patah2,, diopname sampe 6 bulan dan menghabiskan 25 labu darah... wewww..... benar2 hebat sekarang dia sudah tampak normal dan sehat.. (ampe ga berani nanya, yg di mobil lainnya itu siapa)
ketemu oma kumala.. dia umur 90 ! lahir tanggal 23 februari 1921 cnah... masih sehat, jalan pake tongkat,, cerita2 waktu muda suka bikin kue ku, dll.
terus bareng tika ngobrol sama oma jeane.. dia dulu mu jadi biarawati,, di karmel,, tapi pas masa pelatihan, mamanya sakit,, dia pun bingung,, akhirnya dia mikir : klo ga ada mama, saya ga akan ada di sini. jadi dia keluar dari pelatihan suster & ga jadi jadi biarawati. temannya bilang, 'banyak jalan menuju Roma", akhirnya dia aktif ikut legio & KTM :)
trus ketemu oma Marga,, hari ini ga ngobrol, tapi dulu pernah ngobrol ama dia... dia anaknya udah pada berhasil, dan sudah dalam tahap 'ga mau ngerepotin lah,,, saya lebih baik ke panti aja'... I was really amazed by her big heart...
nanya ke suster di situ, oma anne mana,, ternyata sudah dibawa pulang ke rumahnya dan sudah meninggal... hiks... berarti udah ada 2 yg saya kenal dan meninggal... oma Ellsye dan oma anne...

terakhir, yang paling berkesan hari ini...:

ngobrol dengan oma Carla.. dia tampak kesusahan naro (apa itu alat bantu jalan yang kaya jemuran anduk) ke sudut ruangan..

saya : omaa... mu dibantuin?
oma : oh gausah,, saya emang harus bisa sendiri,, tar kalo ga ada kamu, masa saya jadi ga bisa, ya?

saya : oh,, iya sih..hehehe.. kakinya kenapa oma?

oma : saya stroke.. ga keliatan ya mukanya?

saya : iya ga keliatan,, udah banyak kemajuan ya berarti oma?

oma : yaa... gitulah,,, sebenernya cape.. cape sekali klo dipikir-pikir..tapi ya mu gimana lagi.. kalo ga gini, saya ga akan ketemu kamu, toh?

saya : iya oma :)

terus dia jalan perlahan ke kursinya

oma : dulu mana bisa kaya gini... pegang tangan kamu, nih saya bisa cubit kamu toh?

saya : iyaa.. hebat oma :D

oma : iya,,, dulu saya tuh stroke yg sampe pembuluhnya pecah,, bukan tersumbat lagi.. ya sekarang kata dokter ga boleh banyak pikiran lah biar ga kambuh...

saya : iya oma jangan banyak pikiran...

oma : ya sudah lah, sekarang untungnya ga ada lagi yg 'mama minta makan" gitu toh? jadi ya repot buat sendiri, sibuk ngurusin sendiri,, tak apa lah..hehehe

saya : hehe iya oma, buat diri sendiri aja sekarang mah.... oma anak-anaknya ada di mana?

oma : anak-anak saya 3 dan suami saya sudah ada di Tuhan Yesus..

saya : .... (kaget... dan speechless)

oma : yasudah begitu saja,, saya ga mau cerita-cerita lagi tentang itu, kalau ngga, nanti teringat lagi, bisa pusing lagi saya..

saya : iya oma, gausah cerita..

oma : kamu namanya siapa?

saya : maria.. oma siapa?

oma : Carla..umur berapa kamu?

saya : 23 oma

oma : oh.. masih lagi haha hihi ya umur segitu mah..

saya : hehe iya oma :)

oma : mama kamu umur berapa?

saya : 52

oma : ohhh masih tua an saya ya.. saya umur 61

saya : iya oma :)

trus lupa ngobrol apa lagi.. dan saya pun pamit, karna dia tampak jadi kagok mu ngapa2in...

tapi, terus terang, I can't forget her... baru umur 61,, sudah tidak punya suami dan anak...

how sad is that?

...

dan ada 1 kalimat dia yg terus teringat juga :

kalo ga gini, saya ga akan ketemu kamu, toh?

....

2010-10-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

hai hoo... it's time to talk about not so serious stuff..wkwkwkkw X)
me & my bf have been doing an MDR (medium distance relationship) since the last 1 month..
he has finished his thesis so he must come back to his home & parents.. he come to bandung around once per 2 weeks...
It is a change for us.. we see each other more seldom, but it has advantages too..hehehe

now we can play in a longer time and farther places..hehehe.. back when we were in a same city, we often saw each other, but we couldn't go anywhere, because there was no enough time, or we were tired already..

last weekend, he came to bandung, and we had planned what we were going to do.. here is what we did last weekend :

saturday : went to dago, and searched for a waterfall called 'curug dago'... after asked for information to the people, we finally found the path.. and we walked through the path, here are our pics :

this is how the path look like

besides a cabbage farm :D (which is smell exactly like cabbage!! :D )

and that's us, when we got lost and would track back our path..wkwkwkwk

and this is the curug dago!!

not so special,, lots of rubbish.. but it was an accomplishment not to be forgotten !!! ^^

then we walked back to our car.. it was not a long walking, but it was a really up & down paths... gin laughed at me all the way because I had to crawl when I stepped up -____- wkwkwkwkkwkkwk. (he said I was like Gollum.. wakkakakka XD )

the morning was still long, and we hadn't feel tired.. so we continued to Taman Hutan Raya Juanda.. actually there was a curug / waterfall too,, but it was too far ( I went there in my previous post), so we just walked around and got into the Gua belanda / dutch cave (? maybe..hahaha)... here are our pics:

near the goa belanda

the biggest & coolest spider I've ever seen!! :D

that's us near the entrance at THR juanda,

gin somewhere inside the THR

the biggest spider

the giant tree..wkwkwkwkk

and that's us, somewhere inside the THR

then we got home,, went to BEC,, say hello again to the busy & crowded city called bandung..wkwkkwkw :P

on sunday we just went to the church & bought presents for my sister & had dinner together with my family..hehehe

on monday we didn't meet at all,, he wanted to play futsal with his college friends..:)

on tuesday, we had an adventure again...we walked from my house to braga ^^ hahahaha.. to take pictures, do a little exercise and see the city in details...wkwkwkkwkwk... it felt strange, walking casually in the middle of everybody's working hour....wkwkwkw :P

pendidikan di Indonesia...

2010-09-30T07:46:00.000-07:00

hari ini mendapat pengalaman yang sangat menarik dan nano nano dalam sehari :D
yep,,, it's all about pendidikan di Indonesia... I won't talking about unlucky people who can't afford to have a good education .... I will talk about the lucky ones, who afford to have a good education,, sejak jadi guru les, saya jadi sering memperhatikan anak2 les saya.. :P hehehe

okai... hari ini,,, 30 sept 2010..
1. pagi-pagi, pertama saya menemani ibu dari salah satu anak les saya, untuk ikut presentasi pada satu sekolah.. sebut saja sekolah itu Semi Palar...wkwkwkkw (nama asli tea)... saya ke sana.. ikut mendengarkan visi sekolah ini, yang menurut saya bagus.. memang ada positif & negatif nya, dan angkatan pertamanya pun baru sampai kelas 5 SD. tapi visi nya udah oke... jadi,, inti dari sekolah ini adalah, membimbing anak menemukan sendiri potensinya, bintangnya, kemampuannya di mana.. mau jadi apa nanti dia setelah besar.. bakat apa yg dititipkan padanya oleh Tuhan.. (gee,, I was really amazed... even I didn't know what should I do after I graduated from ITB!) ni anak2 dari SD udah digali potensinya dmana,, hebat.. metoda mengajar nya asik,, dengan bermain, dan anak mencatat dengan menggambar.. gambar anak2 ini (untungnyaaa) tidak tersentuh metode menggambar 2 gunung 1 matahari 1 sawah 1 jalan 1 jembatan dan burung-burung berbentuk huruf M. THANK'S GOD! wkwkwkwkkwk... gambar nya saya akui keren! mereka sangat PD menggambar dan memberi warna pada gambarnya.. klo di ceritain semua kynya kepanjangan... pokonya yg paling berkesan adalah, anak2 diberi pengalaman, buka pengajaran.. anak2 dituntun mencari potensi nya sendiri,,, bukan anak yg pintar adalah yg mat nya 100 dan sisanya bodoh,,, good job for the owner & founder :)

2. siang-siang,,, saya di rumah,, kedatangan kaka saya,, yang mengeluh, karna anaknya (umur 5), sedang belajar menari di sekolahnya, karna sekolahnya mau mengadakan pesta ulang tahun sekolahnya, yang akan diselenggarakan di suatu tempat yang megah.. dan para orang tua klo mau nonton ANAKNYA SENDIRI TAMPIL harus bayar tiket antara 100 ribu - 600 ribu..paling murahnya aja 100 rebu edannnn..... acara macam apa itu... (bukan sinis, tapi memang jijik..wkwkwkkwk )

3. sore-sore... saya ngelesin anak les saya yg lain... dia ini pintar... cerdas... tapi.... totally SANGAT AMAT TAKUT MELAKUKAN KESALAHAN... tadi saya les mat... begini percakapan kami:
"ini buat ya nomer 1 -10"
"bikin di mana? di buku latihan?"
"iya boleh"
"tulis soal ga ?"
"...ga usah deh..."
"tulis jalan gak?"
"m... ga juga gapapa"
"jawabannya langsung?"
"iya."
"hurufnya aja?" (itu soal PG)
"m... sama angka nya juga boleh"
"oh.. jadi huruf & angka nya juga? 2 2 nya gitu?"
"iya"
"oke"
baru dia mulai bikin... -____- oh nak, ko kamu sangat takut salah sih... sampe sedih liatnya....
ya mungkin inilah produk sekolah kita sekarang.. mungkin pinter, tapi logika ga jalan,,, kreatifitas mati karna takut salah... bukunya sama sekali ga ada coretan, karna semua kesalahan dihapus dengan rapi... banyak sekali potensi dirinya yang dimatikan oleh sekolah... kasian...

4. malem nya saya ke tempat calon murid... ngobrol2 ama mamanya....anaknya 2,, saya mau ngelesin anaknya yg kedua,,, duduk di kelas 5 suatu international school (yang pasti biaya sekolah nya naujubilah...wkwkwkwkkwk).. dan dia ingin anaknya les ke saya TIAP HARI... karna butuh bantuan untuk bikin PR...dia bilang 'saya bingung, kenapa ya anak jaman sekarang harus les.. klo ngga les teh, ga ngerti si anak teh.. dulu jaman saya mah ga gitu da... ga les,,, di rumah juga mamanya ga nemenin, tapi dijelasin guru di sekolah teh bisa gitu semua teh,, ngerti,,,, bingung saya sama anak seakrang.. semua harus les,, semua pelajaran harus ada guru lesnya, klo gitu mah ngapain atuh ya sekolah???" hahahhaa.. betul sekali kata2 si tante... ngapain sekolah? tiap pelajaran pake guru les juga...entah sekolah itu buat apa...

that's all what had happened today... menarik... dan membuat merenung.. apa yang salah ya di pendidikan kita? koq kasian sekali kynya liat anak-anak sekolah sekarang? bebannya berat,,, dan tujuannya ga jelas... kumaha nya...

knowledge creates fear?

I got an interesting day yesterday =D
I walked at Taman Juanda with several new friends,, we went there to hunt good sceneries & pictures (we all like photography and we carried our cam with us)
We were about to gathered at 7 am. But the rain was falling... so it was cancelled and we all dissapointed... but at 8, the rain stopped so the plan was on again! yipiii ^^/
We gathered at McD Simpang.

I drove to Taman Juanda, (I turned out to be the only girl yesterday...wkwkwkw)
we went to Taman Juanda, took several pictures, went into Goa Belanda,, and that was it. we didn't think we had anything yet, so we continued our walking, to the nearest waterfall (the sign system says it was just about 1 km). wowww quite far,,, but we went anyway.... none of us had any idea how far 1 km is,, so we kept walking following the path. The path was paving blocked, at the side of a hill, sometimes muddy, but it is alright.. we kept throwing jokes along the way... but it IS far......

at some point, we stopped at a warung to buy a drink and eat boiled corn, and take a rest after more than 1 hour walking. we saw a sign system says :
waterfall : 300 m.
Goa Belanda : 5 km.

???

so we had walked 5 km????? so we had walked 5 km....so THAT's why it seemed so far away... coz it is!!! wahahhahahha XD then we continued our walking , and there we were, at the waterfall, at Maribaya (near Lembang).hahaha XD
It was just stupid... We'd said that we wouldn't go to Maribaya cause it was sooooooo far and we would just see the nearest waterfall, but, our foolishness make us strong! wakkakakaka XD
we were so amazed at how strong & innocent we are..hahaha XD

the waterfall was so so.. not so good, but the journey was really interesting & fun to do :p
we ate lunch there. I ordered instant noodle + egg. and an orange juice.
we had to take a public transport to come back to our car because we were too tired...hahaha..

here are the pics :

somewhere, after about 500 m walking

after 5km walking (unconsciously..wkwkwk)

still at the same place

near curug omas, maribaya :D

love the color of the leaves :)

it was interesting... we really don't know what were we walking towards to, how far, how was it. but we managed to do it. the scenery wasn't really beautiful, actually I took not too much photos (cause there were no interesting objects.) but we WALKED 6 km. that's a fact. and we didn't complain at all..hahahahaha.. XP
and we kept admiring how strong (and foolish) we are...hahaha XD

know your dream

2010-09-17T08:37:00.000-07:00

I was feeling down this late 1 week... I felt like I don't know what I want.. felt like I am just hanging around meaningless waiting for I don't know what...

yesterday it got worst... it was started with a little tiny things, but suddenly I remember all bad stuffs,, maybe that's how Dementor feels like..haha.. when I was browsing around point-less, my friend say hi on fb chat.. then we chatted.. I told him I was sad.. and he gave me good advice =D here it is :

there are three steps to know and go for your dreams:

1. know your self. know your potency, capacity, skill and character. know that you are unique and you have potencies.
2. know what's the dream of your life.
here's how you do it :
a. write down 20 things you like
this is my list... I like :

fashion
photography
kids
design product, ergonomic stuffs
craft
batik
happy people
beautiful / fancy
love / connecting
cook / composing
comfort mood
(it started to get hard :P)... m.. cheap/ free things
travelling
modify (such as clothes)
John Mayer (what???? hahahaha yasudalah...)
chocolate
washing the dishes
to be called & approached
talking
dealing with smart people.

I know my list is awkward..hahaha XD but,, no 18 & 20 are interesting. I like to be called & approached. how if everybody is like that & we just keep waiting for each other? I used to be shy to approach people, but hey, maybe they are waiting for you to approach them =) no 20,, I think everybody is happy to deal with smart people, so, be smart! :D

b. then choose 5 things you are good at.
c. then choose 2 things that are prospective.

that's your dreams...
after that.. you have to specify your dreams,,, then split them into goals,, that you will achieve in 1 year, 2 years, and so on..

3. after that, network. find people with the same profession. to learn from and to make you do it steadily.

these steps really work on me =) then I make a list of things I have & I can.. so (hopefullyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) I won't be sad out of no where anymore =)
now I feel a lot better... better than before, cause not only I am not sad anymore, now I have plan for my life.. :D

1 2 3 ,,,
