Stories

I wish I have stories to tell, but I don't-- which a shame, because this post's title is Stories. Anyway, life's being a roller coaster ride as usual, have to be awake till 1 AM last night, working on some assignments and have exam on Friday, at 8 AM! And being such a procrastinator as always so I haven't even started making some mind maps.
By the way I'm currently reading The Misteryous Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart.

it is a series too!

This book has Series of Unfortunate Events' style astonishing problems, and the children centered form which I like, I always love novels with kids' adventures like this one, I actually wishing that I'm the main character of that book, being involved in such dangerous condition, carried a big mission. woo-wee, life would be exciting!

Have I told you that Jakarta's being a nice friend lately? I know I know, people are always complaining about Jakarta. The neverending traffic, pollution, uncomfortable mass transportation et al. But I'm seeing Jakarta from a different point of view right now. Besides, the weather's nice these days, with rains every evening. Ah how I love rain and the smell of the grass after raining, smells better that Chanel No. 5 ; )

Kinda bored so I'm being cheesy right now by posting my clothes today

HA. crappy photo but I love this 'vest' I'm wearing. It's actually Mom's old shirt wearing as vest. And that gray shirt really comes good with anything.
shit I wanna post 'this' kind of pictures more but with better resolution
gonna fix this mess laterrrr bye bye

Lights

I wanna see you,
standing here beside me
and it's getting cold and you'd give me your jacket
and the wind blows my hair
and we'll stood there in silence
the lights are here
Bandung, you said
is our dream
it is the one that makes us connected
it's not anymore
bye bye

Tomorrow's headline

Today I went to Yayasan Jantung Indonesia's event. I don't know the name but it was fun! There's this table decorating competition and cooking class with Pak Bondan Winarno and food tasting of course ; )
The foods are great. I love the salad, and can't wait to make my own home-made Paella.


PS: Stay healthy crunchies!

PSS: I don't know what to write and actually I want to put some pictures here but then Giuseppe's become..... Giuseppe. Slow, stupid Giuseppe, so ttyl and like I said, Stay Healthy!

I took some random quiz (actually some of my friends are already took it) and here's the result:


Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.


Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.


Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.


The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.


How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.
What are you most afraid of:You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.


Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.



hmmmm...... Some of it are true. well friends, waddya think?

another thing another night another crap

After graudation, now i'm worry about PROM. SENIOR PROM. good gosh. I'm saying senior prom like there's junior prom or homecoming dance or something at my school, haha. No, truth is, Prom is @June 23rd, I already got the dress in the making at the tailor, I suppose to do the fitting tomorrow (today, 19th) but Mom said maybe I can't go today (or tomorrow, whatevs). Grrrraaaahhhh!
I guess after I graduate I would've nothing to worry about! Now I have to worry about my prom dress and everything. Until this time, I hate prom. I wish I could skip all the craps, get to the 23rd whatever happens, skip it again, go to Jogja, and hibernating until July 20.
You know what, I guess this whole 2 months holiday is killing me, really. After all of the UAN studying, suddenly I stopped. I stopped studying, I stopped doing the math homeworks, I stopped Mrs. Aykah tutoring. I MISS IT! I can't believe I've said that but it's true! I actully miss school, and studying. It's like I'm having brain freeze right now. No, not when because it's cold but when your brain stop doing what it suppose to do. These past 3 months been hectic for me; studying, remembering all the chems and maths and pyshics and God-knows-what-else-craps. Ans suddenly, I did the UAN, the national exam. It went well.
And BAAAAM!
I stopped studying. For at least 2 and a half month. Or maybe 3 months.

This

is

killing

me

anyhoo, Gaby's staying here for the night. We haven't met since I don't know when. Chit-chatting a bit (a lot!). And it's 3 AM, and the urge to write is coming, so I HAVE to write something. So this is it, another crap I wrote in the middle of the night.

Giuseppe's starting to slow. That's my cue to go.

Nighty nightm crunchies

Somewhere along the lines

I've graduated today.

Feeling so happy, lucky, it feels like someone lifted the weight from my shoulder. Yet I felt sad. I looked around the room trying to memorize these faces I know. We're not really a close batch. Every people in this room have their own 'comfort zone' and trying to avoid talking to some people but, somehow, these faces I know, these people, are the ones that are walking with me this past three years.

We'll go our separate ways. I'll stay in Jakarta while some are leaving.

Maybe I am sad knowing the fact that I'll stuck here for other 7 long years, maybe I'm sad because I'm not gonna see these faces again in September.

We're not gonna be 'angkatan 12 SMA islam Al-Izhar Pondok Labu' anymore, we'll be 'angkatan 12 alumni SMA islam Al-Izhar Pondok Labu' the word alumni feels so...... i don't know. weird?

We wont be studying in the same school again.

Now that is weird.

I get used to these people. I laughed with them, and sometimes I hate them. There are times when I'm feeling really bored of high school and wanted to leave it, ASAP. But when I opened the envelope this morning, reading the word: dinyatakan LULUS, I said to myself, "Am I really leaving high school?" there are too much memory here, somehow, I can't just leave it all behind.

But hey, life goes on. If I have to leave high school, so be it. I AM GRADUATED PEOPLE! I'm more happy than sad. No, not just happy, I felt relieved. Yes, I felt relieved and happy. Sad is another thing ; )

What I'm saying is, angkatan 12, somewhere along the lines of life, we'll meet again. Entah itu di acara reunian, kawinan temen, 7 bulanan (hehe), we'll meet again someday, I believe it.

So these people, nothing can erased them from my memory. There's this tiny place in my heart where I'll keep those memory of high school, and there's this part of my brain that rewinding it.

I love you, people.

goodbye, au revoir.

good luck

mucha suerte

te queiro mucho ; )

If you people want to change the world..............

Start from yourself. no talk, just act. change yourself first then continue with the others. Some people might not get what you mean but that's okay, they'll understand it anyway.
you really have to see things from different angle. Because what we're talking about right now is about YOU changing this world to be a better place. No poverty, prevent global warming, how to solve this major economic problems, etc etc. So don't be self centered. LISTEN TO PEOPLE. if they ask you, answer them correctly, until they get what you mean, what you did.

don't think about yourself just for one minute

think about the problems that you 'said' you care

tell people, let them help you

never ever think that if you do this than you're better from them

never hurt someone's feeling because maybe they'll help you

hey,

sometimes it's good if you just shut up and sit down

let them tell you what to do

after you did eveything

sit back, relax, go to the beach

have some fresh coconut and enjoy your 'Detektif Conan' comic book

oh well, did I mention that sometimes you have to let people tell you what to do because what you'll did, is actually for the sake of the people? I did? okay thanks ; )

grrrrr, I hate this time when my mind can't think of another stuff to write!

this memory keeps me alive : )

Hari terakhir di London, kita semua berkumpul lagi di Bar The White Bear (kalo nggak salah) untuk pisah. Ada dua kelompok, yang akan pulang ke Jakarta dan yang lanjut keliling Eropa. Disitu suasananya sediiiihhhhh sekali, kita peluk-pelukan, nangis-nangisan, ketawa-ketawa bareng untuk yang terakhir kalinya sampe supir busnya jutek.

Bus kelompok yang akan berangkat ke Eropa sampai duluan, jadi kita juga yang duluan pergi. Sedihnyaaaaa, dua minggu bareng-bareng di negeri orang bener-bener bikin kita jadi deket lho, I even thought that I've found some of my best friends during that trip. Karena walaupun cuma 2 minggu susah seneng kita rasain bareng-bareng, kesasar bareng, ngerasain seneng deg-degannya ke tempat baru bareng, foto-foto bareng. : )

Disaat-saat seperti ini, ketika kita jauh dari rumah, adalah saat-saat dimana kamu bisa menemukan orang-orang yang membantu kamu untuk mandiri, istilahnya, helps you stand on your own feet.

So I really thank you, for you people who helps me there, in our beautiful playground ; ) I will never ever forget you guys, because I loooooooovvvvveeeeeeeee you you you soooooo freakin' much, and I miss you.

Just like we promised ya, suatu hari nanti, kita akan kembali menjajah Inggris! yeeeaaaahhhhh ; )))))

This time, three years ago

Tiga tahun yang lalu, tepat dua minggu setelah UAN, gue dan Toshi dijemput ibunya Toshi, Tante Kia untuk pergi ke Singapura menjenguk Om Totok yang dirawat di Mt. Elizabeth Hospital karena kecelakaan. Nyokap gue pergi dua hari sebelum gue UAN, jadi di Jakarta gue cuma sama nenek dan bokap. As soon as the UAN ended, daddy flew to Singapore to be with my Mom and Om Totok and Tante Kia. That was a very hectic situation for me.

Hari Jum'at itu, pas rombongan pergi ke SIngapur, nyokap minta tolong sama gue untuk nginep di rumah Toshi, she said, "Mama yakin kamu bisa UANnya. Please take care of him," karena saat itu sepupu kecil gue itu terlihat begitu fragile dan sedih, maka tugas gue dan 2 sepupu lainnya adalah untuk membuat dia seneng lagi. and it works! gue dan sepupu gue yang emang pasangan silly berhasil membuat Toshi terbahak-bahak ; D

Selesai UAN, kerjaan gue adalah jemput sodara gue itu, nginep di rumahnya, ngajakin jalan-jalan, sambil menunggu Tante Kia menjemput kita ke Singapura.
And I still remember that day. That morning, Tante Kia came from Singapore, she called my Grandma (whose stayed at my home) "Bu, saya udah di Jakarta, Ratih udah siap?" and I freaked out! Oh dear God, I miss my Mom&Dad, and I'm worried about Om Totok too!
Sekitar jam setengah empat sore, I packed my bags and I'm reaaady! Tadinya gue bilang ke Ibu/nenek, bahwa dia nggak usah ikut, takut capek. But she insisted, so off we go.
Kita sampai di Bandara Soekarno-Hatta sekitar jam lima sore, don't now why but I'm excited, actually, I'm always really excited if I'm going abroad, okay, I'm excited if I'm going to ride a plane. Funny huh? Since I known as NRANP with her acrophobia.
Anywaaaaaayyyy, Tante Kia agak terlambat karena masih harus bayar ini-itu, jadi gue dan Ibu makan dulu di McD (standar makanan di cengkareng, hehe). Nggak lama Tante Kia dan rombongan datang (beserta Om dan Tante dan dua sepupu gue) terus kita langsung belingsatan ngumpulin barang dan lariiiiii ke gate-nya.
Setelah dadah-dadah dan lots of kiss byes and everything, gue tante dan toshi masuk ke gate. Tugas gue sudah jelas, disana gue harus bisa mandiri karena nyokap dan bokap dan tante kia pasti sibuk di rumah sakit. Sukur-sukur keahlian memasak gue udah bertambah jadi bisa bikin makanan. But poor us, gue belum bisa masak waktu itu, jadi tugas gue cuma satu: gue harus menemani sepupu gue, well not actually menemani, karena saat gue bersama dia malah jadinya dia yang suka ngikutin gue kemana-mana hehehe.

Selama di Singapore ini nyokap gue ngajak belanja-belanja di Singapore great sale karena keadaan om gue stabil jadi bisa ditinggal. Gue tinggak di sebelah rumah sakit, di sebuah rumah tingkat tiga yag disewa-sewain buat keluarga yang mau jenguk. "Puas-puasin belanja," kata nyokap, "sapa tau habis ini kamu harus dirumah sakit terus." oh nggak harus diperintah dua kali, ibunda!

Dua minggu di Singapur, setelah itu gue balik ke Jakarta selama beberapa hari untuk wisuda, dan kemudian...... balik lagi ke Singapura! Kali ini dengan persiapan yang lebih matang: sebuah kaset X-box dengan permainan yang nggak mungkin bosen (gue lupa namanya) untuk gue dan sodara gue, karena denger-denger sepupu gue udah beli TV buat di rumah sakit untuk mencolokkan X-boxnya.

Kali ini gue lama bgt di Singapur, sampe enek gue sama rumah sakitnya. Pagi-pagi gue bangun, mandi, terus ke rumah sakit nganter makanan karena nyokap gue masih masak dan siap-siap. Siang biasanya kalo bisa gue dan nyokap dan Toshi ke takashimaya atau sekedar Pentagon yang letaknya di depan Mt. E untuk jalan-jalan atau beli es krim. Sore, gue dan sodara gue ke food court takashimaya beli Tako Pachi, terus sore sampe malem main x-box di rumah sakit.
Sampai suatu hari, Tante Kia yang kasian ngeliat kita akhirnya ngajakin jalan-jalan ke tempat yang 'jauhan'. Sehari sebelumnya tante bilang, "Ratih, besok kita ke Jurong sama Snow city ya." and I was like, oh thank God finally.... a holiday! dan besoknya gue dan tante dan Toshi ke Jurong deh!
Dari Mt. E kita cegat taksi dan dengan kerennya bilang, "Jurong birdpark, please." dan kira-kira empat puluh menit kemudian kita sampai di Jurong birdpark.
Jurong birdpark adalah exhibit standar bagi turis yang datang ke Singapura. Kita sampe sana pas masih pagi, jadi masih agak sepi. Pas ngeliat dalemnya, ada semacam amphiteater atau apapun namanya yang bentuknya seperti Colosseum. Ditengahnya ada panggung dan badut-badut burung yang bernyanyi. Toshi pengen liat sementara tante males nontonin badut, jadilah gue dan sepupu nonton pertunjukan.
Pas selesai, ada acara foto-foto sama burung kakatua (yang dulu dirumah nenek gue juga ada) dan burung beo. Karena iseng gue suruh aja sepupu gue foto sama burung yang diiket itu, setelah itu mbak-mbaknya bilang, "Donate and you'll get postcard." terus sepupu gue nyuruh gue nyumbang, gue buka dompet dan dia main pengen ngambil aja 10 dollar gue, "eeeeh jangan," bisik gue, "recehan aja!" dan gue kasih dia recehan 10 sen terus dia masukin. Mbak-mbaknya senyum terus ngasih postcard untuk sepupu gue dan gue. Hahaha! Jurong birdpark, next time I'll give you my 10 dollar ; ))
Setelah itu kita pergi ke Snow city, naik bus, yang nunggunya lamaaaaaaa banget! DI snow city gue tidak terlalu menikmati. Gue salah banget pake celana ngatung jeans jadinya gue kedinginan, setelah meluncur sekali, foto-foto, tante Kia ternyata udah nggak tahan mau keluar, gue ikutan, sementara sepupu gue sudah menemukan teman baru dari Solo untuk main luncuran bareng.
Diluar, gue main internet yang bayar pake koin itu, main friendster hehehe.
Pulangnya kita naik taksi sampai tempat MRT. Ternyata itu adalah ujungnya MRT, jadi MRTnya masih kayak monorail gitu.
Karena pada saat itu gue baru lulus SMP and you know, saat gue baru lulus SMP gue masih belum tau apa-apa tentang dunia. Kita bertiga sukses tersesat. Kita keluar di sebuah stasiun yang begitu ramainya sampai-sampai ada poster Frank Lampard gede banget (saat itu gue masih suka Chelsea dan MU, how could I?) dan Tante Kia takut banget kehilangan kita berdua kita sampe gandengan menentang arus manusia yang kayaknya semuanya in a rush.

Besoknya? Gue dan tante Kia flu. Hahaha. PIlek-pilek dan batuk.

Dua minggu kemudia gue pulang karena mau ikut semacam dance class selama 5 hari dari Namarina. Kemudian operasi dan treatment Om Totok berhasil, om gue sekarang udah jadi kayak dulu lagi tidak lumpuh sama sekali. : )

and you know what? I miss those times. Tako pachi, es krim pinggir jalan, auntie anne's, dan rumah kos-kosan.
kira-kira mbak-mbak Tako pachi masih ingat pesenan standar gue nggak ya?

helllooooo? goodbye.

I hate those times, including right now, when I wanted to write something but nothing comes in my mind. So basically, I'll just gonna go talking about nothing that maybe only myself can understand. But hey, something comes in my mind! ahem ahem

gribbet.
gribbet.
oh sorry, i'm just writing frog's sound am I?


where are we right now? me? my cave of course, hehe. If you ever went to my house, saw my room, you would understand. See, i have this coffe table beside my not-so-worth-it study table which I use for my laptop/giuseppe. Mom recently bought me a very comfy rattan chair, um waddya call it? it's basically not a chair since it doesn't have legs and all, I just sit on the floor, yeah i sit on the floor with my carpet. Around this coffe table, there are few... okay, a lot of things. For example, now, there are: iPod, AC remote, a pack of tissue, my watch, my Mr. Potato head toy, digicam, House season 1 DVD, more tissue, my sling bag, newspaper (i read the newspaper everyday!), Dan Brown's Angels&Demons, a pack of wet tissue, a pack of Cadbury chocolate, my phone, and chips.
Now this is what I call my cave! ; )
I don't have to get up and walk to reach things I need. I always put my important stuff close with me because I'm always too lazy to get up.

stop me before I go kkkkkrrrraaaazeeeeeyyyy!

now it's time to think about some important stuff,

dont cha think, crunchies?

great advice

Favorite, ; )

wallpaper menjelang UAN

sorry, it's 1:12 AM and I still can't sleep.

random pictures comiiinggggg! ; P

Wait for me.........

Someday, when I get to go to Europe again, I only have one plan: visiting museums. Yeah right, you see the S ? When I said museums, I mean the coolest art museum/gallery in Europe, including Tate Modern and Louvre (d'oooh) and everything along the way.
I even planned the 5 days tour around the Louvre, I said it to my Mom, and offer her to wait outside : )

I have the best museum experienced in Musee d'Orsay, Paris. Itu pertama kalinya gue datang ke art museum yang kereeeennnnnnnnn bangeeetttttttt!Ketika di London, Shakespeare's collection overwhelms me but here, Van Gogh win it all! Di London, gue nggak malu-malu jongkok di depan sebuah lemari kaca besar di British Museum karena disana gue menemukan sederet buku kuno dengan judul-judul karya Shakespeare. Gue gatau sih itu asli atau bukan, tp who cares?

Di Musee d'Orsay, pertamanya gue udah super bete karena harus naik tangga kalo mau liat-liat karya Van Gogh. Sebenernya dalam hati gue berpikir bahwa semua ini sia-sia! Toh dibawah banyak lukisan yang keren-keren and I am not into classic art, tapi gue paksain juga karena udah jauh-jauh dateng kesini masa nggak liat lukisan Van Gogh.
Di lantai atas itu gue kepisah sama temen-temen gue karena sibuk ngeliat-liat, sampai akhirnya, dengan kemampuan baca peta gue yang (katanya) diatas rata-rata, gue menemukan sebuah koridor yang bersambung ke sebuah ruangan yang penuh dengan orang. Gue langsung buru-buru masuk, dan............................

I found it! I found Van Gogh's artworks! Yippiiiieeee!

Tanpa basa-basi nggak tau malu, gue serobot aja orang-orang yang lagi mengagumi karya Van Gogh, dan sibuk foto-foto. Baguuuusssss bangeeetttttt! Gue suka warna-warna yang dipake, menurut gue, semuanya cerah ceria bahkan untuk lukisan yang menggambarkan suasana malam seperti La nuit étoilée (dibuat tahun 1888), disitu memang warna dominannya hitam/biru tua, tapi gue suka banget gambar bintang-bintangnya, kayaknya seneng aja liatnya gitu ; ). Gue paling suka lukisan yang judulnya La chambre de Van Gogh à Arles (dibuat tahun 1889), menggambarkan suasana kamar tidur Vincent Van Gogh (gue bahkan beli replikanya di Volendam!)

Gue nggak jadi ke Musee du Louvre, dan itu saaaangaaatttt menyedihkan! Tadinya sih mau kesana habis dari Disneyland, tapi karena rombongan gue udah telat makan malam jadinya dibatalkan. HUhuhuhuhuhu, Madonna of the Rocks, Monalisa, wait for meeeeee! Gue akan ke Louvre ikut tour 5 hari, biarin deh mata gue kekeringan liat classic art daripada seumur hidup nyesel, hehehe.

P.S: maaf nggak masukin gambar, karena sudah malam koneksi internet tidak mau bekerjasama dengan baik sama Giuseppe, hehe.

Adventure

I went to Pasar Senen today, with Gigi and Rissa

Kita naik busway, naik dari Ragunan turun di Dukuh atas 2, sambung ke Harmoni, terus ke Senen. Seruuu lho, dengan uang 3.500 udah bisa ke ujung Jakarta tanpa macet. Overall, dari Ragunan ke Senen kira2 makan waktu 45 menit, yang nggak mungkin banget kalo naik mobil 45 menit udah nyampe Senen.
Dari Ragunan-Dukuh atas, buswaynya lumayan rame, tapi kita dapat duduk karena naik dari pemberhentian awal. Yang rame banget itu dari Harmoni-Senen, mungkin karena tengah kota ya? Sebenernya menurut gue, halte busway itu kecil bangeeettt! hehehe, dan orang yang naik busway banyak, terus ada beberapa jurusan gitu kan di satu halte, jadi ngantre mau masuk buswaynya harus nafsu ; )

Di Senen, pertama nyampe kita naik ke atas, ke tempat yang bagusan tapi sepi, terus Gigi (yang sering kesini) ngajak kita ke bawah, ke tepat penjual-penjual yang dulu kebanjiran pada pindah ke dalam pasar. Begitu masuk, ada satu kios yang rame banget ternyata jual baju 5000/2pasang! Gileee, baru sekali ini nemu baju semurah itu. Ngobrak-ngabrik, akhirnya gue nemu sekitar 4 pasang kalo nggak salah, habis itu lanjut lagi.
Kios favorit gue adalah kios yang jual dress, yang punya ibu-ibu berkerudung yang sangat ramah sekali, dan letak kiosnya harus diingat banget. Gue beli satu dress denim selutut seharga 10.000, yummy! Dan jualannya itu rapih, semuanya digantung jadi enak milihnya.
Badan udah keringetan tapi masih lanjut doong, pindah ke kios jual rok-rok 10.000/3psg tapi gue kecewaaaa! Soalnya banyak banget rok lucu-lucu tapi lingkar pinggangnya seperti nyindir gue, alias kecil banget. Setan.
Terus kita keliling-keliling sampe ujung, tiba-tiba ada meja dengan setumpuk pakaian yang sepertinya menarik. Pas gue tanya, ternyata harganya.............. 1000 rupiah saja, mbak! Woooaaaah, langsung kalap doong. Gue aduk-aduk aja itu tumpukan, karena biasanya yang bagus-bagus ada di paling bawah. Ps udah nemu lima baju dan udah bayar, gue masih berdiri di sebelah Rissa karena dia baru nemu empat, tiba-tiba gue narik baju ternyata itu jaket jeans tapi bahannya adem enak gitu bagus deh. Langsung gue kasih Rissa, eeehhhh tapi ternyata sampe jalan gue kebayang-bayang jaket itu terus, jadi gue beli lagi deh dari Rissa hehehe.
Dari Senen-Harmoni buswaynya rame bangeeeeetttt! Udah berdiri, desek-desekan pula, bawa belanjaan banyak banget lagi! Tapi untungnya dari Harmoni-Dukuh atas kita bisa berdiri dengan leluasa, dan dari Dukuh atas-Ragunan yang paling enak. Mungkin karena udah masuk Jakarta bagian ujung, jadi yang naik busway juga sedikit. Bisa duduk, barang bawaan taruh di samping............ tidur. hehehe.

Naik busway juga berguna banget buat kamu-kamu yang keseimbangan badannya kurang. Contohnya waktu dari Dukuh atas 2-Harmoni, kita harus berdiri tapi untungnya nggak desek-desekan. Si Rissa, males megang handle yang diatas kepala itu, eeehhh tiba-tiba busnya ngerem dan dia refleks nyender ke gue, gue megang handle tapi miring 45 derajat ke samping. Posisi ini bertahan selama sekita 10 detik paling panjang dalam hidup gue, karena dalam posisi seperti ini juga gue udah nahan ketawa ; D

Oh yeah, one more thingy, sepertinya di busway harus dikasih pengharum berbentuk pohon cemara yang untuk mobil itu deh ; )

London sky

Even in the summer, you know it is grey

sometimes the rain would pour so we have to go some place dry

thank God we're not in St. Jame's Park anymore, otherwise we have to go home

Opening my umbrella as the rain started to pour, and we cross the crowded Oxford street to Nike town

Indonesian kids in London,

enough to make that city noisy

O London sky in the summer is grey,

but with you guys I saw it as blue
