New playground?

Going out for lunch at Kemiri Resto, Pejaten Village Mall, and I fell in love the ambience and decoration. It's surely nice!



Well, too bad, I only captured the small part of the resto. Just come and see how lovely the place is..-:)

A simple love

Today's announcement from the office bus coordinator adalah: besok jemputan akan berangkat 30 menit lebih pagi karena ada acara senam bersama untuk lingkup Ditjen Peternakan which is itu adalah jam 6 kurang seperempat-:/. Yaya,I have no other choice lah secara sini aja masih untung bisa nebeng mobil jemputannya orang peternakan-:p.

And in the afternoon,while the driver asked each person whether mau ikut jemputan ato nggak, most of the answers adalah: 'saya nggak ikut ya Pak' atau 'kalau saya udah ada (di tempat biasa nunggu) berarti ikut, kalau nggak ada ya tinggal Pak'. My answer was the second dan karena dipoyokin Ibu-ibu di jemputan yang bilang kalo saya seharusnya bisa ikut jemputan yang lebih pagi, ya I copied others' reason aja yang bilang kalau pagi itu rempong,harus ini itu,ngurusin anak,bla..bla.. Maksutnya ngurusin anak [nya Ibu] saya-;p *minta disambit orang satu jemputan*.

Well,this kind of conversation bikin saya sedikit mikir dan inget-inget pengalaman sendiri, dimana Mamam selalu jadi orang yang harus bangun lebih pagi dari orang di rumah yang harus berangkat paling pagi. It just reminds me that though I have to go in the very early morning, the breakfast has always already been ready.

Uuuhhh..Mom might never think that it's a burden,since Mom do that with love and care, hiks.. So much true that what I've done till now still can not pay all the love and care that has been given by Mom.. -:((

Love you Mom... May Allah always love you too-:)

Meet up!



I just met Ayumi chan last night. It is nine months since the last time I met her, so I thought she has forgotten about me. But in fact she still remember me and so much excited when her Mom told her that she will meet me. When she saw me last night, she's just so happy, she hugged and kissed me, and surely, she asked me to play. If she usually said 'oneechan asobimashou', last night she said: 'oneechan main-main yuk...'. Haha, she's gettin' fluently in speaking bahasa, thought she still speak Nihon go with her parents.
Her Mom told me that after I went back to Indonesia, she always asked about me. There's a day when she has just woken up from her nap, and saw someone resembling me from the back, she suddenly grab and hug  that person, since she thought it was me, haha..that's just so funny.. Kawaiso nee Ayumi chan, kangen oneechan yang mendadak menghilang. Probably we didn't have proper good bye at that time, since Im so much rushing to catch the bus to Narita from Disneyland and Ayumi chan has just woken up from her nap, so she didn't realize that we will separately so much far.
And last night is our first meet up after these months. I had so much fun while playing with Ayumi  chan and also talking to her Mom. I'm glad, that a good friend has just came back home. Family and friends are so much precious to me, coz surrounded by many beloved ones is really such a bless.

Friday Spirit

To fail..
To fall...

To be broken...
To be down...

Those are common, kind of colourful life which make you excited more to this life..
Hey, colourful wont make us boring right?-:D
What is not common is when we could raise again after falling, stand taller, and stronger than before.

Just enjoy our process... every second of our lives..coz the most important thing is what we become after the difficulties...

"Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief" (QS 94:5-6)

It's not good days

I have good days and bad days in my life.. *yaiyalah*, and recent days might be bad days *not that bad actually*, it's just not as good as I want-:D. What I feel inside is so painful, I just keep believing that later on, I will be okay, though it's been a while, and still, I am not okay yet. Everytime the pain comes, I take a deep breath and keep saying 'laa haula walaa quwwata illa billah', I really ask the strength from you Allah. So the pain will just go away.
What I keep doing now are remembering the best days of life, making myself happier, oftenly laughing, not to be alone, and appreciating every little thing that can make me happy *that sometimes was forgotten*. 
This just about the time hopefully, time surely will heal, and I'll be just fine, coz verything is gonna be okay at the end, if it has't been okay, then it's not the end yet...
Amiiin...

Complaining [not]

I remember how hate I was, when I hear someone complaining about Indonesia's condition and starting to compare it with the condition in abroad. Thus, I promise to myself that at the time I go back home, I will not complain.
And now, I really proud to myself since I haven't complained about the condition so far. Well, living in Indonesia is not really like in paradise, but I know well about the condition and I have been so used with this for almost the rest of my life. Complaining and whining about the condition won't make it change, it will just make others irritated and you will look annoying.
Happy or unhappy is a choice, and we are responsible to create our own happiness. The traffic jam, the heat, the indiscipline people, the bad sanitation are still look better since I am near to my love ones...and that is precious!

Kindness count!

The woman in the right side of me is Sakamoto san. She's the one who helped me wearing a kimono-hakama on my graduation day. What a nice of her since she came to Deffi's house, helped me and in the end, she dont want to be paid.
In my left is Ono san. She's the one who helped Deffi to find a salon (to wear kimono-hakama). But unfortunately, most saloons are closed at Monday, so she asked her friend to help me.
We dont get each other on our conversation, but surely, they are really kind.
Doomo arigatou gozaimashita..

[not] the end of the road

Well finally.. I finish my master. Those hard time have gone. I wont forget those sleepless and stressfull time. But indeed, it's not my end of goals, doesnt have to be the next 'es nong nong nong' just learning in every second of my life. Since the more I know, the more stupid I feel inside..
Though I dont really satisfy to my achievement, but still I'm so gratefull to what Allah has given to me. Alhamdulillah..
So let's enjoy the ambience..hoho..!-:)

And yes..Alhamdulillah.. This is for you MomDad..!-:)

Aaah CD..!

Demi si adek, saya rela sedikit puyeng di HMV.. Untuk bisa nemu dua cd ini aja saya berasa udah pengen jambak2in rambut.. Ampun deeeh.. *salah sendiri gag bisa Nihon go-:p

Awal masuk toko saya bertekad untuk nyari sendiri cd yang saya cari karena sangat sadar dengan ketebatasan bahasa Jepang saya. Tapi begitu masuk tokonya malah tambah puyeng, karena modal saya cuma inget tampang Yamapi sama JGS aja, ha2..gimana juga mau berhasil.
Jadilah saya nyari mbak2nya..

me: sumimasen Yamapi no cd wa arimasuka? (Nihon go acak adul)

Mbak: Yamapi? Chinese?

Me: No, Japanese..

*mbak2nya bingung, dan saya lebih bingung..mikir, berusaha inget nama aslinya si Yamapi ini.. Untung akhirnya keinget..

me: Yamashita... (ingetnya sepotong jg)

Mb: oh..langsung ngeh..
*Alhamdulillah nemu satu..*untung cd yg ditunjukin judulnya sama kayak pesenannya si adek.

*lanjut ke pesenan berikutnya..

Me: Jang Geun Suk..?

*sumpah ini lama banget di sini,mbaknya nggak ngerti2. Saya sampe pake 'popat' andalan untuk googling nama dia yg bener,tetep aja berdasar nama yg ada di mbah google tetep gag ada juga.
Berusaha ngomong kalo dia Korean..mbaknya tetep bingung,baru keinget kalo biar lebih jelas harusnya bilang 'Kankoku' duh!
Saya keukeuh setiap mbaknya bilang 'nai dese' secara saya yakin banget pasti ada yg salah ini.
Sampai akhirnya saya buka foto2 si JGS yg ada di mbah gugel,kayaknya mbaknya dapet pencerahan..

Mb: ooh Jang Geun Suk (dengan cara pelafalan ala dia)

Me: *iya2 aja, udah stress*

Akhirnya mbaknya nemu juga cdnya.., dan ternyata nama dia si cd-nya Jang Keun Suk.. Whaaat..? Pantesan..-:(

Yaelah moga2 kalo si adek minta tambahan beli cd bukan artis yg lain lagi..jadi saya udah tau tempatnya..
Ampun dijeee...

Maroon sun flowers

I kinda surprised when I saw those maroon sun flowers. Seems that those are someone's research, since I saw them at the pilot plantation of my campus.. Well, they are cute, but still I prefer the original one.. Because the sun is yellow right..?-:D

Behind the lebaran story

Baca berita di sini bikin saya miris. Saya cuma inget saat-saat saya selalu mudik setiap tahun ke rumah Eyang. Beberapa tahun terakhir ini memang pemudik dengan kendaraan roda dua itu semakin banyak, mungkin sejak motor semakin terjangkau. Bukan karena harganya yang semakin murah, tapi prosedur pembelian kredit yang semakin mudah.

Kembali ke masalah mudik, membawa kendaraan sendiri untuk mudik pasti lebih nyaman. Selain di tempat tujuan nanti bisa dipakai buat keliling-kelilng (tradisi lebaran kan silaturahmi tho), membawa kendaraan sendiri juga terhitung lebih murah. Kalau yang bersangkutan mampunyai membeli motor, ya sah aja sih kalau mudiknya pakai motor.

Mungkin nggak semua orang menganggap mudik itu penting, termasuk saya sih. Tapi kalau saat untuk bisa ketemu orang tua dan semua saudara itu cuma setahun sekali saat lebaran, mudik lebaran pasti jadi penting banget kan. Okelah, some people might say, 'kenapa harus lebaran, yang jalanan emang padet?'. Terlepas dari rasa kalau lebaran kumpul bareng keluarga itu 'sesuatu banget', saat lebaran juga udah adalah saat libur bersama, dimana hampir dipastikan hampir semua saudara berkumpul dan biasanya sebelum lebaran dapet THR yang bisa dipakai untuk mudik kan ya.

Saya sendiri sering trenyuh setiap ngeliat pemudik yang berkendaraan roda dua. Mereka terlihat sangat niat, semua bisa diangkut pakai motor, agak sedikit berbahaya memang, but they dont have any other choices I think. But seeing them makes ne realized that Im much luckier than them, and should be grateful for that.

In the end, saya cuma pengen bilang, mudik mungkin suatu hal yang sangat penting buat sebagian besar orang, that's why they hardly force themselve to be able to go home, even itu dengan kondisi keuangan yang pas-pasan. Mudik juga hak semua orang, terlepas dari mereka kaya atau miskin. Kemiskinan bukanlah alasan untuk bisa menyalahkan mereka, they dont ask to be poor. Yang paling penting adalah gimana bikin peraturan yang kuat tentang berkendara selama mudik untuk meminimalisasi korban kecelakaan selama mudik setiap tahunnya. Data yang menunjukkan kenaikan is very something deh, the government should learn more how ro reduce it.
