What are the differences between Jakarta and Bali? Why Bali is so popular among foreign tourist while Jakarta is not? The answer can be a lot of things. It could be the beautiful beaches Bali has, the mountains, the tradition, or the unique souvenirs.
But for me, the main difference is because Jakarta people can not learn when to shut their mouth. This morning, I went to my meeting place with my friend as usual (I go together with my friends everyday to the office). I wore my company jacket which is slightly oversize. And when I walked passed two men, one of them yelled, "Loh, kok ga ada tangannya!"
Why? why did he have to say things like that? Why can't he just shut his mouth and let the pedestrian walked by in peace? and not only this people, most of "tukang ojek, anak-anak muda pengangguran" does the same things. Not only the boys, but the girls also. Pissed me off!
When I went to Bali, everything was so different. No "mulut-mulut jahil" everywhere, no matter what I wear or what I do.
I implore the Jakarta government to put "people education about basic manner" as one of their top priorities, if they want to improve Jakarta Tourism. Let the tourist feel save not just physically and belongings save, but emotionally save.

Exhausting Day
A few days ago, I got a wedding invitation from my high school friend who now lives in Singapore.
The wedding will be held at Sukabumi. Since I'd already promised to her that I would come, I persuaded (more likely forced) my boyfriend to drive me there yesterday.
My first trip to Sukabumi was when I'm in Senior High School. I went there on a weekend with my room mates. Back then most of my room mates were Sukabumis. We took public transportation from Bogor directly to Sukabumi. I was squeezed during the trip (poor me). But the trip was kind of fun.
Encouraged by my one and only trip to Sukabumi, I went to Sukabumi yesterday. The trip was completely different. There were traffic jams all the way (pasar cicurug lah, ciawi lah, cibadak lah and ci ci lainnya) and heavy rain was pouring down. We were stuck, couldn't turn around since the other way was also jammed. It took us 3 hours to get there while the distance is only 58 km! Our average speed was 20-30 km/hour and sometimes even 0 km/hour.
When we finally arrived, the wedding was done. All the guests were gone, only families there. Thank God, the mother of the bride still recognized me and told me where my friend was. I caught her right before she leaved the building and grabbed her to the nearest table. I had not met her since 4 or 5 years ago. My friend, Mei, she looks happy but so skinny, she said she couldn't eat much in Singapore. She does not like Singaporean food, so she cooked at home after her exhausting job. I almost chocked. Mei cooks! hahaha... back then in high school, she only cooked Indomie Goreng+kuah (a lot of kuah, more than my Indomie Rebus haha).
We couldn't stay long there, we had to go back before it's getting dark. After saying our good byes, ate whatever left there and of course taking a couple of photos, we went home. The weather was terrible, but the traffic was better. All the markets closed already I supposed :P
I picked my mom at Bogor, and went to my cousin's house at BSD (My mom sleeps there during the week day) and went home at 11 PM, tired and exhausted.
PS: Congratulations to Mei and Hans! Hoping to see you soon.

Bali, Island of God, Day 1
At last I go to Bali for the first time. As an Indonesian but never been there, it's such a shame. Anyway, I go to Bali to do my pre-wedding photo shoot. Hurray. I spent 5 days and 4 nights there, and no I did not spend all of my days there to do the photo shoot. Even though if I could, I would! I'm that narcissist *blush*
Arrived on 21 August 2008.
After we met Pak Made (our pick up guy) we went to the Hotel to put our belongings, which is 36.6 kilos by the way. "We" = me and my fiance. Of course I would be dead for sure if I did not include him in our pre-wedding photo shoot. We got Aston Denpasar hotel as part of our deal with the photographer (FnG, Faith and Grace, Managed by Edward Suhadi). The hotel is new, still in soft opening promo so it's very clean and the staffs were excellent. Strongly suggested.
After that, I went to Evy room's (my make up artist/marketing of FnG) to have my make up put on while Hengky (you know who, yes he is my fiance) taking a bath.
Our first photo shoot was in our bedrooms which was by then covered with our clothes. (Jualan kali ye). The theme was picking each other clothes. Still "malu-malu" deh.
Since I did not eat anything but milo yesterday, and only ate little sandwich on the plane my stomach growled like Alec Azam (dah nonton WALL-E blum?), so we got out from the hotel to find a nice place to eat.
Unfortunately, Bali was still on Galungan holiday. Many restaurants were closed and we ended up eating in the middle of no where and ate Ayam Betutu. Sorry, can not give more information, too hungry to think. The food was just okay but very fulfilling to my empty stomach.
Next stop was Sukawati. Me, the girl who loves colour and shopping, went crazy. Nothing new. We took a lot of photos there, by looking at a glance on them, they seem fantastic.
It was 4 PM already, so we went to the Nusa Dua beach. So excited! Beach... beach...beach...
We changed our clothes inside of the car (believe me, starting from that moment I'm truly appreciate magician who can change clothes inside of small cupboard). We put down our sandals, headed to the beach., and.... no idea how to pose. It's a beach for God's sake. Nothing there but water and the sand. So, Victor and Hendry (our photographers) told us patiently what to do. They even did a sweet and romantic holding hand pose. We lost our volley ball on that moment. Haha. :D
A bit tired and hengky started to catch a cold, so we went to eat at Rumours. We were told that Angel Hair Pasta is recomended by Edward. Therefore 3 Angel Hairs, 1 Fetucinni, and 1 Lasagna were ordered. The cheft must be cacthing and collecting the angels first, because we waited quite some times there. And then the food came. After I ate it, I decided to rename the food back to the original name I supposed. Mi Swa Goreng. FYI, Rumours' motto is "what you hear is true" so trust this one, Mi Swa Goreng, no kidding!
We went back to the hotel after that, asked for our welcome drink (ga mo rugi banget sih), took a bath, put on a lot of cajuput oil (kembung bok dari pantai) and while me sleep like a baby, hengky is stil sroot...sroot...sroot...

Not going home on Lebaran
I don't think I can go home on Lebaran this year. Instead, I will ask my mother to come to Jakarta. The train tickets are all sold out within 3-4 minutes after the locket opens. This happens every year and I don't see any significant improvement from the government to make the transportation better, which is ridiculous. Actually, it's getting worse and harder for us to get the tickets.
Fact that passengers are increasing within every year should be anticipated by the transportation department. I heard many people came to the station a day before the opening day. People who came in the morning would not get any chance of getting the ticket. No matter how early you were.
One word: Payaaaaaaah!
PS: Just got an update, the ticket price is sky rocket high. More than 150% than the usual. Haiya..

Berjalan dengan Tongkat
Karena suatu kecelakaan, seorang kepala desa tidak dapat lagi menggunakan kakinya. Maka ia berjalan dengan alat penopang. Lama kelamaan ia dapat berjalan dengan cepat - bahkan ia dapat berdansa dan melingkar-lingkar untuk menghibur tetangga-tetangganya.
Lalu ia mendapat gagasan untuk melatih anak-anaknya menggunakan alat penopang. Dalam waktu singkat berjalan dengan penopang menjadi lambang kedudukan yang tinggi di desa itu dan semua orang menggunakannya.
Sampai pada keturunan keempat tidak ada seorang pun di desa itu dapat berjalan tanpa penopang. Sekolah di desa itu memasukkan mata pejalaran "Alat penopang - Teori - Praktek" mata pelajarannya, dan tukang kayu di desa itu menjadi terkenal karena mutu alat penopang yang mereka hasilkan. Bahkan dibicarakan kemungkinan untuk mengembangkan alat penopang listrik, yang digerakkan baterei.
Pada suatu hari pemuda Turki menghadap para penatua desa dan bertanya mengapa semua orang harus berjalan dengan penopang padahal Allah telah memberikan kaki kepada manusia untuk berjalan. Para penatua desa itu merasa geli karena orang baru ini merasa lebih bijaksana daripada mereka. Maka mereka memutuskan untuk memberi pelajaan kepadanya. Mereka berkata, “Mengapa engkau tidak menunjukkan caranya kepada kami?””
“Baik”, kata pemuda itu.
Acara pertunjukkan ditentukan akan diadakan pada jam 10.00 hari Minggu berikutnya di lapangan desa. Ketika pemuda itu berjalan terpincang-pincang dengan alat penopang ke tengah lapangan, semua orang berada disana. Dan ketika jam desa menunjukkan pukul sepuluh, pemuda itu berdiri tegak dan menanggalkan alat penopangnya. Gerombolan orang itu terdiam saat ia melangkah maju dengan berani – dan jatuh tertelungkup.
Dengan itu semua orang semakin diyakinkan bahwa sungguh tidak mungkin berjalan tanpa bantuan alat penopang.

New English Teacher
I had a new English teacher yesterday. His name is Paul. My formerly teacher is Peter. Maybe they exchange the teacher due to our protest. Most of the student said that Peter is a very nice guy, but he teaches by the book. So we feel no significant improvement in our poor English.
My company's HRD person make us to vote between them, and apart from the abstain people, Paul is definitely the winner.
I'm gonna miss Peter though, he is a very nice guy. But I'm looking forward to attending Paul's class. Paul can speak Indonesia, and I found it amusing to hear "bule" speaks Indonesia fluently in funny accent also. Hehehe...

Mencontoh Raja
Ketika "Messiah" karangan Handel untuk pertama kalinya dipertunjukkan di London, raja hadir. Ia begitu terbuai oleh perasaan religius ketika paduan suara menyanyikan bagian Alleluia, sehingga di luar kebiasaan ia bediri hening penuh horman terhadap karya besar yang sedang ia nikmati.
Ketika melihat ini, para bangsawan yang hadir di sana mengikuti raja dan berdiri juga. Itu menjadi tanda bagi para hadirin yang lain untuk berdiri.
Sejak saat itu, dianggap suatu keharusan untuk berdiri setiap kali Alleluia dinyanyikan, tanpa peduli seperti apakah sikap batin orang yang mendengarkan atau mutu pembawaannya.

WALL-E
Fiuhh finally, after waiting and waiting and hoping every Wednesday, I was able to watch WALL-E on August 14 at Senayan City.
The movie did fulfill my expectation on everything. The funny part, the animation part and the story part and of course the short story part. Presto and alec azam. Maybe my judgment is a bit subjective here, since the long waiting has blurred my vision.
Anyway, in this blog I'm not going to talk about the movie, it's too long and you can find better version of story telling in wikipedia. So, feeling so wise I'm going to talk about inspirations or moral story I get from the movie:

Anyway, in this blog I'm not going to talk about the movie, it's too long and you can find better version of story telling in wikipedia. So, feeling so wise I'm going to talk about inspirations or moral story I get from the movie:
- Each person has different things he/she valued. For wall-e the box is more valuable the diamond rings. Even though the diamond is as big as Krupp Diamond. Not for me though, I'll definitely keep the ring. May be it's because WALL-E is male xixixixixi.
- Never give up even when you feel alone or when you feel your job is a never ending problem. Just keep doing what you do best. In this movie WALL-E is literally alone, yet he still compacting the trash into small cubes. WALL-E jia you!
- Be wise and learn to compromise depending on the situation. Basically EVE is programmed to shut down every time she detects a plant and return it to the AXIOM. But when she sees WALL-E's live in danger, she chooses to ignore the program to save WALL-E. How sweet..... If a robot can have feeling, why can't we human?
- Be one of a kind, look around, don't just do things just because it's a customarily, or you'll end up like people in AXIOM. Learn from M-O, he follows his passion in cleanliness and learns to act on his own accord. FYI, M-O is my favorite character... so cute ^o^
- Do it yourself. If you want to accomplish something, do it yourself, don't tell others to do your job, it won't work 100% like you want it to be done. When human want to clean the earth, they have to be part of it. Ordering WALL-Es while having a fabulous time in AXIOM won't work.
- Global warming, and watch your trash or we'll end up polluted the earth too much, we can stay there anymore.
- Fight for your believe, even though you may crushed because of it.
- Etc etc.....

A Tribute to Heath Ledger
Last week, I watched "The Dark Knight" just because i had nothing else to watch *sorry batman fans*. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed the movie. Especially, Heath Ledger performance as Joker. Instantly, I thought, that in the future, the next generation of movie lovers, will consider this performance as Classic Joker, just as i consider Jack Nicholson's Joker as the classic one.
For me, The Dark Knight without Heath Ledger's Joker, it's gonna be like Pirates of Caribbean without Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. Tasteless.
So, I know it's very very late, but I just want to honor Heath Ledger for his outstanding performance as Joker in The Dark Knight.
Btw, apparently I'm not the only one who thinks that Mr. Bale is more charming in this movie xixixixi..

The Three Golden Reasons
If anybody asks me the reason for me to get up every morning and go to work, i would simply answer it with the three golden reasons
1. Jalan-jalan alias ngabur ke mall terdekat. * At some point, we have to face the certain reality: despite all the good the world seems to offer, true happiness can only be found in one thing. SHOPPING!*
2. Ngeceng
3. Nggossip
sadly, golden reason number two is not feasible option *musti encourage HRD to believe that looks does matter. Motorola banget deh!*
even more sad, lately, golden reason number 1 becoming more difficult *with clients constantly yapping in my ear, how am i supposed to shop? hiks*
so, satu-satunya hiburan ya apalagi selain the ultimate reason: GOSSSSSIIIIIIIP!
beda dengan infotainment yang ada di televisi dimana acara gosip ditayangkan agak sore, for me hampir tiap pagi, setiap sarapan tiada hari tanpa gossip. makin digosok makin sip!
and of course tidak ketinggalan adanya breaking news disela-sela waktu kantor.
topiknya beragam, mulai dari seleb kantor *dari yang aneh, judes, cantik, gatel, jijay, bossy, oon, rese, SKSD, pelit, semua ada disini. full collection!*, para clients dengan sejuta tingkahnya * idem, mulai dari aneh sampe pelit, still full collection!* sampe personal gossip!
walau mungkin orang yang baca akan bilang, ah typical cewe... bisanya cuma gosiip truuusss.. but i really enjoy the first 30 minutes of my day at office.
with gossip:
- i know that i am not alone, everybody have their own problems and it is real *bukannya cerita soal temennya iparnya adeknya bokap gue punya sodara, jauh kaliiiii.* and it makes me stronger *misery loves company*
- i know how strong my friends are *so proud of them*
- i learn simple wisdom from each other *ga perlu baca buku the secret :P*.
so, if one day.. i have to leave this company for any reason *hopefully a good one*, i always know that i will miss this moment the most...

duuuh.. i can not live in a village!
Hari kedua.......
Pagi pagi udah
bangun loh... tapi seperti biasa pluk bobo lagi abis ngantuk sih.... finally i
can sleep better walau sempat ketakutan karena semalem ujannya deresssss
banget....bukannya apa-apa sih.. takut longsor bok. gue berusaha menyakinkan
diri sendiri bahwa gue ditengah hutan hujan tropis yang notabene byk pohon
dengan berbagai macam akar, yang salah satunya pasti ada yang punya akar
tunjang untuk mencegah longsor. ** biologi gue bagus
kan
masih bisa ingat akar tunjang, my
teacher will be so proud of me hehe **
btw yang disebut pagi itu buat gue adalah 6:45 :P. pas
keluar kamar eeee clientku malah dah rapi mo pergi.. ** jadi malu ** tapi gpp
deh
kan
gue
tidur lebih malam dari dia ** ntn film sih **. sikat gigi, cuci muka trus mandi
deh.. dandan bentar ** dihutan
ngapain dandan, dasar cewe ** trus makan hmmm.... abis makan trus pergi deh ke
warehousenya buat mulai kerja.
duuh ternyata
policy disini ketat banget, ga bole pake sambungan segitiga, bolehnya pake jack
segitiga langsung dari kabelnya jadi musti minjem ama orang nih. terpaksa deh
keluar dari warehouse ke gedung sebelah. tiba tiba si om bilang awas kupu.....
ya ampun mak jaaaannnn.... yang gue kira daun kering itu ternyata kupu kupu
gajaah yang sedang terkulai lemah di lantai ** once again, betapa bagus biologi
gue, bisa mengkategorikan si kupu sebagai kupu gajah berdasarkan bentuk sungut dan
bodynya yang giant **
tau dong kalo yang namanya ariyani itu takut banget ama yang
namanya kupu-kupu. ** As my defense, nicole kidman juga takut kok, so people
let it go! Stop saying “kenapa sih
takut ama kupu kupu? Kupu kupu kan lucu” (baca dengan nada sinis ala me) kupu2
is not lucu! It’s ugly and scary and should go extinct along with
dinosaurs. It would be better if more insect went along too (cockroach, spider,
praying mantis) and don’t forget to throw in snake, crocodile and shark. (this
time read with staccato tone) ** The story continue.. jadi teriaklah gue sambil
ambil langkah ga tau berapa ribu meninggalkan si om yang terkaget-kaget ** kenapa
nih ce tiba tiba histeris?? **
singkat cerita, sampe juga ke gedung sebelah dan dapat
kabel, which mean i have to go back ke warehouse ngelewatin kupu kupu lagi...
hikkkkksssss T _ T. untungnya karena dah tau jadi dah ancang-ancang pas dah
dekat langsung lari dan buka pintu.. stage clear!
kerja dan kerja ** chatting sih padahal, frustasi ama
actuate sih! ** tiba juga jam makan siang, keluar dari warehouse lagi
ngelewatin kupu lagi yang sudah disepak ama om by my request ** thank you, om
** .
kenyaang... makanannya enak glegh..kerja lagi dong sampe
akhirnya jam 5 dan diajakin balik ke mess. di pintu kok kupunya pindah posisi..
kirain dah mati kok bisa pindah posisi.. mulai curiga deh. ya ampun belum titik
toh, masih koma tuh kupu-kupunya alias sekarat ** sayapnya ke angkat sebelah
**.... histeris lagi, lari lagi eeeeee ciiiiittt ngerem mendadak karena ada
belalang ijo, ngepot dikit, lari lagi, lah lah lahhh ada kecoak gendut yang udah
terbalik kyaaaaa..... ** once again meninggalkan si om yang keheranan **
sampe di mess diajakin liat danau buatan. ceritanya nih
bekas galian tambang emas yang dah ditutup trus dikasih air buat penghijauan kembali **
lumutan kali airnya jadinya penghijoan bukan pembiruan (garing) **. aniwei jalan kesananya asik tuh.... gue byk
take picture pemandangannya ** http://www.flickr.com/photos/bohemian11 **
jalanannya menurun jadi tidak capek plus diiringi suara monyet
teriak-teriak..nguk nguk nguk ** maksud lo?? **
sampe danau, agak kecewa sih karena danaunya ternyata
posisinya jaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuhh dan curam boook... jadi cuma bs ambil foto 1
dengan posisi yang aneh. pulang deh akhirnya. tau dong pepatah, dimana ada
turunan pasti ada tanjakan.. karena sepanjang jalan pergi itu turun, pulangnya
booooowww..senin kamis deh napasnya. ga tau gimana akhirnya bisa balik juga sampe
site, lagi ada pertandingan volley antar kampung ** kok bisa ya?
kan
antar kampungnya

A song to an imaginary boyfriend......
I Know Him By Heart
There's a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
Makes him real someday
'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
Am I living in an illusion?
Wanting something I can't see
If I compromise, I'd be living lies
Pretending love's not meant to be
'Cause I know my heart's worth saving
And I know that he'll be waiting
So I'll hold on and I'll stay strong 'till then
'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
My Poor Ear
Hari ini gua akhirnya pergi juga ke hutan kalimantan, lokasi tepatnya disalah satu PT penambang emas di Balikpapan. Yang pergi kesana bukan cuma gue doang, tapi serombongan orang karena ternyata setiap senin dan jumat PT tersebut selalu mencarter pesawat imut buat membawa rombongan mereka ke site penambangan.
At first I was very excited. Jarang-jarang khan naek pesawat yang pilot and co-pilotnya bisa keliatan dari kursi penumpang :P. Pertama masuk, kita dah dibekali ama sumbat telinga karena takut berisik mendengar suara mesin dan baling-baling pesawat. Abis itu kita duduk manis pake seatbelt dikursi masing-masing.
Beberapa menit abis lepas landas, i was still excited, tapi lama-lama hutan belantara dan sungai yang berkelok2 ga tau berapa ratus kali itu menghipnotis gue alias ketiduran **abis capek banget ga bisa tidur di hotel sih**
20 minutes later, akhirnya gua kebangun dan melihat rawa-rawa yang besarnya duuuuuuh azubillah **swamp thing aja bisa nyasar kali** akhirnya pesawat mulai terbang merendah dan tiba tiba aja nggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingggggggg kuping gue sakit and sakitnya duuuuuh maaaaak minta ampun de. rasanya sampe dah mo pecah aja kepala gue. dan itu berlangsung mulai ketinggian sekitar 2000 sampai akhirnya mendarat dimana tambah turun tambah sakit....T _ T. gue sampe mikir waaaah mati deh gue, kalau gendang gue pecah bisa budeg gue.. tidaaaaaaaakkkk!!!!
akhirnya gue turun dari pesawat sampe mencengkram jaketnya si om karena agak lemes nahan sakit di kuping gue plus kepala yang ikutan nyut-nyutan dan terduduk lemas nungguin mobil jemputan yang untungnya dah datang jadi ga perlu nunggu lama lama. didalam mobil kuping gue masih berasa sakit and terutama jadi aneh kalo denger suara sendiri. seakan-akan ada speaker dalam kepala gue. jadi gue denger suara gue bergema di kepala gue. not a pleasant feeling!
akhirnya 1 jam an kemudian barulah kuping gue mulai membaik yang sayangnya berbanding terbalik dengan kondisi jalan yang tambah lama tambah grudak gruduk walau akhirnya kita sampe juga di lokasi dengan selamat dan tidak kekurangan apapun kecuali tekanan udara dalam kuping gue.
tempatnya disini ternyata asik juga, rumahnya rumah panggung rendah **dihutan sih** dan lantainya dilapisi parket kayu ** hmmm love it **. airnya juga disediakan air hangat dan dingin and walau airnya jernih tapi tak layak minum tuh katanya ** dun know why and dun want to know why **
so abis makan and ntn filmnya fantasia barrino, akhirnya siapin diri berbaring dikasur and hoping to get a good sleep since i dont have any in this week.

To forgive is human, to forget is divine??
In a world full of bit and byte, there is a couple who has trouble. Apparently, after fighting constantly , their relationship is having a downside, and it getting worse with an affair made by one of them, which in this case is the man. Currently, they are fighting to stabilize the jeopardy relationship back to normal, of course with some of conditions both parties agreed. First condition is the other girl must go and the other condition is the girl must try to behave more nicely.
Even though I only hear half side of the story, however it makes me wonder is it possible an affair considered as an appropriate things to do under some circumstances? Or an affair is just an affair and will always be an affair no matter for what reason.
Although many relationships recovered from this problem, is it possible to completely heal the scar? While it’s hard enough to forgive the affair, can we really forget the affair? How much time do we need to feel secure again every minute or every second when your partner not around? Can you be sure, that you will not wonder your partner will do the same thing in the future? Once a cheater will always be a cheater, people said. So what the meaning of forgive when you are not able to forget?
Think also about the third person involved. If a couple wants to continue their relationship, this person must go. Is it better to end the affair right away without considered their feelings or end the affair slowly and hurt them even more?
Personally, I can say out loud that I will not accept any affair, but when this problem comes to hit me, what am I going to do? Am I sure that I will act like what I believe in? Or I’ll be blinded by my own feeling. It’s always a fifty-fifty chance nobody knows. After all, love means never having to say you’re sorry…right?
