I Heart Yogyakarta's Public Transportation

Solo-Jakarta by another (economical) way

Several days ago (July 29th 2010), I and my dorm mate (Dayu) went to Jakarta and made a trying for economy public train. It was the first time for us, both, using that kind of public transportation. The prices of the ticket is much cheaper than another transportation, it costed 38.000 rupiahs per person. I think that it's really cheap to reach more than 500 kilometers by that budget. The train is named Bengawan, it departs on 15.45 and arrives on 05.00 in the next morning. 

That was unprepared trip, lol. We suddenly decided it in the afternoon, then we were in the train by the evening. From that trip, I'll write some tips if you are train-ing by economical public train ;)

DO(s) !!

#1 Bring some money in your pocket to pay everything you need along the trip.

#2 Bring some books. It will save you from getting bored. Before taking the train, I went to Gramedia to buy a novel, ps i love you (willy's recomendation). This book was released last year but I haven't read it.  Luckily, that was the last ps i love you in town and I got 50% of discount :) I am not keen on reading, but reading will help you killing time in the train. seriously! 

#3 Wear simple clothes, as simple as you can. Do not attract for atentions.

#4 It's better to have your mobile phone inactivated.

#5 Bring any wet tissue and plastic for the bin

Another Afternoon Disaster

Hari ini gw bangun ga terlalu pagi karena semalem abis nonton Have fun Go Med (acara musik yang dibuat sama anak FKUI). Setelah mengerjakan beberapa pekerjaan yang bisa dikerjakan, gw nonton insert di trans tv. Siang tadi, guest starnya adalah si Shinta - Jojo yang belakangan ini video youtube lipsingnya booming dimana-mana. Setelah diwawancara bla bla bla bla, akhirnya dia menyebutkan username twitternya. Unluckily, username twitternya adalah @sisisinta which is mirip banget sama punya gw (@sisinta). ERRGGHHH! dan ini cukup membuat gw susah setengah mati.

Kesusahan yang gw dapet adalah:

1. mention column gw jadi acak2an

2. inbox email gw jadi membludak

From getting over to moving on..

Sometimes I am tired but you don't know

Sometimes I concede defeat and you have never realized

I do make any efforts to make it better, to make everyone happy by their ways.

But sometimes I forget to care how my heart feels
I should care of my self more

Sometimes I hate being naive, I will stop taking care and making sure the happiness of that stranger

I choose to quit..

I am sorry that I choose to stay away.. and I don't know if it's right or wrong

Making up with you is a good thing, though I realized you are a bit irritating

I'm conciuous that I have never dwell of my life. So, I'll take care of my self.

I am sorry for making this gap, I gues it'll be the best for us..

Pemberontakan si Molar 3

Selama liburan ini gw menjelma bak eating machine, sampai akhirnya kemarin gw mendapatkan mulut gw susah buat dibuka. Hehe ini bukan seperti yang kejadian di sinetron-sinetron hidayah gitu kok. Kemarin pagi gw dibangunin pagi-pagi banget sama keponakan gw, Dya (Anindya-4 tahun), dan ternyata gw dibangunin buat anterin beli nasi uduk yang gw ga tau dimana jualnya hahaha. Thank God, bocah 4 tahun sudah diberi keahlian untuk menunjukkan jalan. Parkir mobil di deket masjid dan kita berdua jalan kaki ke tukang nasi uduk yang dimaksud karena ga bisa digapai oleh mobil.

Dialog pasca turun mobil (...)

gw: "Mbak Dya,tukang nasi uduknya lewat mana?"

Sometimes, life isn’t always in easy side

Hari ini rumah gw kedatangan tamu. Satu saudara dari semarang dan satu temannya. Mereka dateng buat nganter mobil papa yang udah setaun ini ditinggal di semarang. Seperti biasa, kalau ada tamu pasti ngobrol-ngobrol sambil minum/ makan di ruang tamu, yah biasalah obrolan orang tua.

Setelah ngobrol-ngobrol, mama masuk ke dalem terus ngomong “sin, om yang satu itu dulunya sekolah kedokteran lho". Gw iya-in aja berhubung ngomongnya juga cuma selewat.

Temennya sodara gw, Om itu, badannya gede, tinggi, dan bersih. Cocoklah buat jadi seorang dokter

Terus pas om itu mau ke kamar mandi, dia berpapasan sama gw…

Om itu: “Dek, kamu sudah semester berapa?”

gw: “semester 6”

om itu: “belajar yang rajin ya. Harus kuliah sampai selesai. Kamu punya modal, kemauan, kemampuan. Dulu saya juga ambil kedokteran. Tapi putus karena tdk ada modal. Saya tinggal kurang tiga stase lagi sebelum sumpah, anak, gilut, dan (satu lagi gw lupa). Dulu saya sering nekad praktek walaupun saya ga di sumpah. Tapi karena sering adanya sweeping dari Depkes, saya ga berani lagi”.

Gw: “iya..”

sebenernya gw ga tau harus menanggapi apa.

Donat - Donut - Doughnut

Donat/ Donut/ Doughnut, semacam roti yang bentuknya khas yaitu ada lubang dibagian tengahnya. Bentuknya identik dengan huruf O. Toppingnya ada macem-macem, ada cokelat, keju, sugar rice, kacang, almond, dsb. Kalo favorit gw itu adalah donat keju sama yang pake sugar rice gitu :9 Oke, karena selama liburan ini gw menjelma bak eating machine, jadinya hari ini gw berusaha untuk menjadi food producing machine. heheh. Hari ini gw membuat donat, resepnya gw tulis di bawah. Ini fotonya:

Dari hasil googling, gw mendapat beberapa fakta mengenai si roti bolong ini. Mari disimak :D Asal-usul donat sering menjadi sumber perdebatan. Salah satu teori mengatakan donat dibawa ke Amerika Utara oleh imigran dari Belanda yang juga mempopulerkan hidangan penutup lain, seperti: kue kering, pai krim (cream pie) dan pai buah (cobbler). 

#scrapbooking

Entah ini hari liburan ke berapa. Bahkan kalo gw inget ini tanggal berapa aja udah bagus banget hehe. Maklum udah lama ga kuliah :p sekarang pukul 1:00 am. hmm malem juga ya, tapi mata gw belom ngantuk. Akhirnya sambil chatting sama seorang temen, gw posting ini saja~ 

Di kolom sebelah kanan itu gw nulis gw suka electronic paper thingy gitu. Hmm sebenernya gw juga suka sama hal-hal yang agak konvensional kaya gini. hehe. SCRAPBOOKING!!! Gw ga buang-buang kertas loh ini, soalnya hampir semua dibikin dari barang bekas (Majalah bekas, koran bekas, mungutin daun-daun dikampus, dsb). Kalo udah mainan beginian nih ya, gw bisa seharian ga keluar kamar kosan (halah lebay deng, kalo laper gw pasti nyari makan) hahahha. 

Scrapbooking itu menurut gw menyenangkan banget. Hampir semua emosi bisa disalurkan, membuat benda-benda ga terpakai jadi usable lagi, sarana buat killing time, dan yang paling penting adalah membuat hati senang :D Yang gw attach di bawah adalah beberapa halaman dari scrapbook gw. Sebenernya itu belom 100% beres sih, abisnya belom sempet lagi ngutak-ngatik hal-hal itu >.<

Hmm mungkin sekian dulu ya untuk hari ini, sekali lagi gw sampaikan kalo scrapbooking itu menyenangkan. Sekali-sekali dicoba deh :)

Another night in Bogor

  

haha ga maksud narsis nih ya. ini mau pamer kalo gw punya temen fotografer yang recommended banget. Nih twitternya @agungishartono

I walk through it all..

It was started on 2004. I was graduated from my junior high school, SMP 20 Jakarta. Then, my mom asked me to study at SMA 81 Jakarta because its location is not too far from my home (about 30 minutes by car if there’s no traffic jam and changing to be 2 hours if there’s a fucking traffic jam haha).

First time I saw this guy was at my high school, when we’re fitting for our school uniform on June 2004. I got 128^th of queuing number and he was 127^th. I’d never known about him at all, though our junior high school are opposite-located each other. He’d known me since we were still in JHS, but he’s never proofed it :p And there was another unintentionally case that we were in but we didn’t know each other. When we were graduated from our own elementary school, we registered in SMP Santo Markus II. We did our placement test, then I got the 3^rd number and he got 4^th. We knew about all these occurrences after we were together. It’s kinda funny.

High school’s time was started in the middle of 2004. I got lots of new friends, and one of them was this guy. I defined him as my mind sharing friend. Sometimes, he’s arrogant but he’s nice. We talked about everything and it went until almost the end of 2004. Another silly case was when we got the same class in our English course class though by placement test :D Oh ok, back to topic. In the end of 2004, we realized that “ohh ok, it might be more than that friendship.”
