Rontgent

Probably, last February was my worst month in this early year. In the 1st week of last February, I had an accident in the highway. When I went back to my boardinghouse after teach my home schooling student, I drove my motorcycle along the highway. I drove behind a group of car. The car hindmost stopped suddenly, then I maneuvered my motorcycle to the left side. Unfortunately, my front wheel grazed the left rear bumper of the car.

What happen after that? My motorcycle and I fell down and spinned in the highway. That was sick. If I meet that driver again, I want to tread his head. After I fell down then pulled my motorcycle over the edge of highway, he wasn't apologize to me. He advise me. Hey man, did you have a mirror? If I'm your son, I really disappointed and shy become your son. My white motorcycle scratched and my left foot can't fold.



I just like an helpless boy. My friends (Yosi, Bebe) often sent me some foods & beverages for me because I can't go everywhere. Just sleep on the bed while held my sickness. Few weeks after that accident I went home. I checked my left foot in the hospital. When I entered the X-ray room, I felt little scared. I went to that room about 6 years ago because of the same incident. Oh My God, the tool was really big. Finally, I got the result and gave the result to internist. She said my left foot is fine and also my right foot. Hoooo, but I still felt sick. I hope it'll get well soon. Because of this, I can't enjoy skateboarding and biking fluently.

Surprise for Nadhia

Thursday night (24/2), the weather was bad. My friend Bebe asked me to accompany him went to Nadhia's house. The weather is rainy and very cold. Beside that, the locations of Nadhia's house is near the mountain Merapi. I knew that a place located in the high land, especially near the mountain, it certainly very cold and full of fog everywhere. Yeah, I knew because my house's location is like that too.

Before went to Nadhia's house, Bebe and I bought a pizza in Pizza Hut near my boardinghouse. Yeah, my boardinghouse is surrounded by food centers and food stalls. Not difficult to find food spots near my boardinghouse. Then we went to Nadhia's house with rain and cold condition. Brrrr!!!




That day wasn't Nadhia's birthday. He had already celebrated her birthday few days before we went to her house. I'm not forgot her birthday, but Bebe forgot it. Bebe felt at fault. So, Bebe, I and other friends bought an unique lamp for Nadhia. The lamp is unique, I can turn on or off the lamp just with clap my hands. The color of lamp is purple (her favorite color) and inside the lamp is our (Bebe, Troy, Binar, Tee, Bimo, Rian, Tio, I) face that printed in transparent paper. So, if the lamp is on or off, Nadhia can see our face.Sweet!!!

Blackstone

Very rare my friends and I go to somewhere to discuss about study or doing our tasks. We certainly go to somewhere for having fun or refreshing. Last February, we did the other activity. We flocked and did our tasks together. I thought that was impossible because my friends are talkative, so, we better to discuss about something fun than keep silent while doing the tasks.

We went to place named Blackstone. That was my first time went there. From outside, the place looks like a garage and I didn't see a stone colored black. That wasn't a problem, we just need the place, not the name or the stone. The peoples who came first are Tee, Welly, Bas, and I. Then the new comers are Nadhia, Theo, Pras. A few minutes before we went home, Alim, Dion, Binar came.


Suddenly we're became geeks. We enjoyed with our task, but not all my friends did the same. Tee created the database design, Bas tried to solve the algorithm of his application, Nadhia developed her application, Pras was facebooking, Theo played his new iPod 4G, and I modified my business process and the database design. On that time, Welly and Tee were like a cat and dog. Why? Because the lazy Welly, he said he did his tasks, whereas he just played tnternet.


In the middle of did our tasks, we ordered some foods and beverages. I was very hungry, haha Welly felt the same. We ordered Blackstone's special fried rice. I thought that food will be as special as other delicious food in restaurant. The food's came, but the taste is not as good as I thought, the taste is standard. I just like the performance of this food, uniqe. A glass of ice tea closed my activities there and then went back to boardinghouse.

Road to Magelang street

Long time no ride a bike on night. Customarily, I ride with Bebe, Ari Momo, and Yeni Noel. That's my major formation every ride a bike. That day we want to ride in rising upward routes. Flocked together in the center of Jogja city and then started to ride. We ever ride along this routes, but we gave up in the middle or routes, haha because it was too night. So, we started this ride earlier at 4 P.M.. We all ride mountain bike a.k.a MTB, so, whatever the routes, no problem.


The finish line is our campus staff's house located in Magelang street. The routes more than 10 kilometres. We ride along the highway, we ride along the edge because too dangerous to made a race with motorcycles or cars. Safe way, safe on arrived. We arrived on Mr. Topo's house at 6 P.M.. We just took a rest while laughed together. That's was our longest route ever. Mr. Topo knew that we were tired, so, he bought Nasi Goreng or rice fries for us. My stomach was full up. My friend Tee who live near Mr. Topo's house joined with us too.


The time was too night, 8 P.M. and we had something (tasks) that must be done soon. We went back to our house. The routes when we went home is like downhill. We thought it must be faster than when we started. Yeah, that was true in the early. Rain made us stopped and took a rest while wait the rain till done. Too long we waited, so we desperated to continue. Few minutes after that, Noel's rear tire blew out. Hoahhhh!!! Finally, I took over Noel's bike and Ari accompany me waited in the edge of way while Bebe accompany Noel went to her house. After that, Bebe took and ride his motorcycle to picked me and Noel's bike, then Ari went to his house. Few minutes later, we updated and connected on facebook. Oh, I felt comfort knew they arrived on their house safely.

Hokben before shopping

Shopping can make me forget my stress or something complex that make me down and give me nightmares. I dislike shopping on the weekend or early month, because the shopping center must be very crowded, I'm not comfort with that. I had an experience about scrambling some stuffs with others in the shopping center. That was inconvenience. Shopping center is a fun spot for me, not a fighting spot.


Days after weekend are boring. What I do in the tuesday, wednesday till friday? Do my tasks, countdown to final exam presentation, think and design for editorial staff, blogging, waiting BATB update, etc. That tuesday (15/2) was boring day as other tuesday. Ya, I went to shopping center to buy some boardinghouse need. Before that, suddenly my friend Bas invited my to had a lunch together in Hokben (Hoka-Hoka Bento). Our favorite japanese food place near my boardinghouse.


I went to shop in the middle of month (February), but the shopping center near my boardinghouse still crowded. No problem, I just bought snacks and beverages for stocks. I like to eat snacks while doing my assignments or as friend while watching movies. I bought crackers, wafers, nuts, vitamin-C beverages, and of course noodles (I love noodles). Every I went to the shopping center, very rare I met males there. That's why sometimes I felt weird there. Shy? Not!!! Everybody needs shopping, not just females, males need it too.

Din-din at boardinghouse

Have a dinner alone outside, that's usual. I love culinary but I'm not spend my (special) time for hunt some foods around. That's boring if doing alone. A lot of food in Jogja: traditional foods, Indonesian foods, Italian foods, Japanese & chinese foods, etc. If I had a dinner outside, I often ate foreign foods, that's make my tounge so adaptive, but I'm still love Indonesian foods, especially if it made by my mom. My friend Jo came to my boardinghouse, we were very hungry, whereas we had already eaten. I thought it's time to eat local foods. Jo and I were hunt some local foods near my boardinghouse. We bought 'Martabak' (sweet & salty) and 'Nasi kucing'.




It's 'Martabak' and its couple 'Acar' or pickles. Martabak is Indonesian foods. This food spread in every city in Indonesia. The ingredients are simple, just egg(s), vegetables, flour's batter, meats (optional). It's the salty one, taste more delicious if you eat it with Acar (vegetables mixed with spices) or hot sauce.


Here we go. Nasi kucing, in english, it's Cat's rice ...LoL... It's traditional inhabitant food in Jogja, but not just in Jogja, some cities has it too. Why it's called Nasi Kucing or Cat's rice? Because the portion is a little and the side dish too. That's why the price is cheap. We ate it with salty Martabak.


The last one is sweet Martabak, It's for our dessert. The ingredients are same like salty Martabak. The differences are the kind of flour's batter and nuts that's replace the vegetables. Thick and sweet.

That's all our happiness dinner. We just spend a few money for it, but we're so satisfied. Really nice foods. If it sold abroad, it must be a new favorite food there. Yummy!!!

Documentary fiancee

It's my second experience to go to the fiancee. First time, I went to my older sister's fiance last year. Last february, I went to fiance of my friend's older sister. I came with my madness friends: Bas, Jo, Alex, Yosi. We came not as family or witness, we came as documentary. My friend Enny asked us to document the event. No briefings, we're familiar with this activity. We just prepared the tools: camera(s) & handycam plus tripod.



Start from morning till afternoon, we documented the event. Sometime we just gawk while see the event, probably we want to be the man in that fiancee. Probably we're too young, but we're growing become a real adult and start to ready become a father. I asked my friends to wears Batik in this fiance. The event's closed with took pictures and ate together in restaurant. Yeah, because the event's happened in that place.

Winning 11 mania

Playing a game, everyone love playing games. Mostly people know about PlayStation (PS), yeah!!! I play this since I studied in Junior high school. That game console is already in my boardinghouse, but I never play it alone. I must wait my friends before play it. It's so boring to play it alone. Our favorite game is winning eleven, football game. Mostly male likes football. Sometime we play from night till morning or till weak and feel sleepy. Haha, my friends and I infrequently play this game together, because we has different activities and also different spare time.

Sin Tjia at Lenmarc

Still in Surabaya, before went home. I dropped in Lenmarc mall to celebrate the Chinese new year. Just took pictures with the chinese new year celebration atmosphere in there. First time I came to this place, in the 1st floor, the atmosphere is so silent. It's because this mall is new, but I saw interest spots there: RC car's competition, show room of Harley Davidson community, show room of exotic auto europe car, etc.




My older sister and I found a big rabbit in the front gate of the mall. The height is about 5 meters. Rabbit is the symbol of this Chinese Year (2011 / 2555). Two big rabbits and some gold coins around them.





After that, I took some pictures in front of fake chinese building before got away. On the way to parking lot, I saw wishes trees. Kids made a wish, wrote their wish in the red card then put it in the tree. I red some wishes from them: they want a car toy, get the first rank in school, etc. I want to do the same but I'm not a kid anymore, haha. Just let it go and wish for more luck in this year.

Amazing Citraland

Finally, I went to Citraland. For me, Citraland is looks like an elite spot. There is an billion of rupiahs price houses, schools, shops & restaurants, etc. Probably, if I'm living there, I don't need to go outside the Citraland because all I need is already in there. Citraland is belong to Ciputra. He is an amazing entrepreneur. He has a lot of business in Indonesia and foreign. For peoples who live outside Citraland can use this place like a holiday place, they'll see beautiful gardens and good architectures. It located in Surabaya city, East Java, Indonesia. Peoples said, "Citraland is Singapore of Surabaya"



Yeah, I found the Singapore sculpture. That's a symbol of Singapore country. Haha, fake sculpture of Singapore. I had no need to buy an expensive ticket to go to Singapore, I can took a picture with that sculpture just in my country. The most interesting with this place for me is the layout of the place, really nice, I felt like in foreign. After that, I dropped in Ciputra University, that was awesome. Although the university is looks like an apartment, but from outside, it looks like a high class university. A lot of facility in there. Honestly, I hate to live in there, because it can make me become an anti social human, but actually, peoples are social creatures.

BNS

There is a place in Malang, East Java, INA, that's cold and harmonious. That place is Batu. In Indonesia, Batu is well known because of the apple production. This apple is fruit, not a technology like iPad or iPhone. I was there last end January with my older sister and others. We weren't come to bought or ate some apples, We were go to BNS. BNS is short of Batu Night Square, that was my first time in there. Usually, I came to Malang just for go to the beach, there are a lot of beatiful beach.

I went to BNS after my grandmom's died 1 day before. Just to forget about the sadness story. I didn't know that this place start open at 5.00 PM. Yeah till 12.00 AM, according to the name, we can't see a night in the afternoon. The place is so romantic if come with couple or probably family. Inside of BNS is full of lamps. The playgrounds, the games, the gardens. I like the lampion garden in there. In that garden, I walked around, saw sculptures made from lampion or lantern, miniature of eiffel tower, romantic pool with lamps around it and in the middle of it.





The situation made me forget about the sadness of one day before. When I went there, the time was countdown to chinese new year celebrations. So, a lot of chinese lanterns are spreading around BNS. Some time, I want to go there with my couple or my homies.

Movies Time (2nd)

Time to refresh the hectic brain with movies. After success watched movies at night before, my friends and I did it again. Same projector which prepared by Yosi, notebook and movies by Baskoro, white canvas by Johan, place and sound system by Anggi (new comer, hohoho), food and beverage by Alex, and spirit by me, LoL!!!




Before watched the movies, we ate together. Alex bring a lot of delicious food from his home. The foods are suitable with our tounge haha. That night was a horror night!!! Bas was playing a lot of horror movies start from 9 P.M. until 2 A.M. Scream together, laugh out loud together. It's so silly, we watched together but we're still scared.


The movies finished at 2 A.M.. Our stomach which full of food and soft drink became empty because of the horror movies, then we bought some foods in McD. So yummy and also made our stomach looks tubby hahaha. Horror night closed with hamburger, french fries, and coke...grookkkk I'm so tubby.

Kopi Joss

You must try to eat in Angkringan when you go to Jogja. Angkringan is concept of traditional food sales in Jogja. The foods in it is traditional, too. Traditional but it's keep clean. A famous spot in Jogja where adopt Angkringan as concept is angkringan near Jogja's rail station. It located near Malioboro where the most favourite spot for tourists when go to Jogja. When my friends and I want to talk something in public spot where a lot of people, we go to this place. Peoples called this spot Kopi Joss. Kopi is coffee, Joss is delicious. This angkringan has unique beverage, yeah, that's kopi joss. The coffee has floating charcoal above the glass. Talk till midnight, laugh out loud, nice night activity.

Sekaten 2011

In the morning, after woke up from my dreams, I turned on my PC and checked my twitter. My friend, Thea, she tweet about want to go to Sekaten. I didn't know the spesific about Sekaten, in my brain, if I hear about Sekaten, I just think about sacred traditional ceremoniY that hold every year. I shocked when I knew that this event held about 1 month. Before I retweet Thea's tweet, I was searcH about Sekaten. Finally, I know. Right!!! Sekaten is a ceremony to celebrate Islamic new year. It about javanese culture and Islamic tradition. The main ceremony's celebrated in the last day of Sekaten. Some days before the top ceremonial, a lot of stand around Jogja's city field. Used clothes, food spots, kids playground, etc.

Thea wanted to hunt great used clothes in there. I never did this before. So, I joined with Thea. Not just both of us, we invited Bebe and Meta too. Yeah, finally, I bought more than Thea. Maybe because I never go there before. I found a lot of unique clothes there, but I must choose it carefully. We went to Sekaten about 2-3 hours. It was fun, in hot atmosphere, we was so enthusias.

Movies Time (1st)

Watch movies at night is my new activity with my homies in my trip community. It's our monthly activity beside spending holiday with vacation. Suddenly, my friend Yosi invited my other friends and I to watch movies. I said, "I have no money for now, we must spend more money to watch it in the cinema". Finally, my friends and I made our version of mini cinema. We prepared all stuff needed. We prepared it suddenly, started from about 4 P.M. and got ready in 7 P.M.

I prepared notebook, Bas prepared the movies, Jo prepared the white canvas, Alex and Yosi prepared the place. For the first, we watched the movies in Yosi's house, we weren't watch inside the room, but outside the room. Actually, the atmosphere when we did it is rainy and so cold. It didn't really matter, the movies still played in the middle of rainy, because we use sound sytem from Yosi's PC for louder sound output. Here we go!!!

We watched local indie movie tittled cin(t)a that I borrowed from my friend Bebe. It's romantic, comedy, and religious movie. The story is about a couple with differences. The man named Cina and the woman named Annisa. Cina is a chinese people and a christendom, whereas Anisa is a indigene and a moslem. Annisa and Cina study in the same major and same campus. They fall in love, admire each other. By the time, appears an issue about church terror from moslem peoples, blablablabla. It's the main issue that make the story about Cina and Annisa being long and dramatic. Search and watch it to know about the full story, it's very recommended, especially for couples with a lot of different priciples, etc.

The peoples who's attended this event was Yosi and his girlfriend, Alex, Bas, Johan, me, and Leo. Leo? Yeah, that's Yosi's friend's dog. I don't know the species of that dog. It's a dog, why he named Leo? Leo is lion. Leo also watched the movies with us till midnight. We watched till midnight, and even till morning. We ate and drunk a lot of food and softdrink. What a nice time with homies.

Back to Village

In my sixth semester last year, I was living in the village with my friends from all majors. We was widespread in different place. The place where I was live named Klangon. Yeah, it's greater than other place in the village where my friends and I were live. Klangon is the most modern place in this village, maybe. It located near village market, border area between 2 cities, a lot of food spot here. The delicious yummy food that well known in some place near Klangon is Bakso or Meatball.

My friend, Theo, he invited me to go to the food spot where sell the meatball. He wasn't live in Klangon like me, but he know that delicious meatball. So, Theo, Bas, and me went there... Delicious food and good time. We arrived when the rain came. Hmmm yummy, when I look at that picture, I want to go there again... Coming soon, back to Klangon.

I knew him since he was in the same student community with me. boy from jogja with glasses and wavy hair. on the night before D-day, tee texted me, she said that December 17th is Bambang's birthday and she asked me to give him a surprise. in the same time, nadhia did the same as tee did to me, she asked to me to buy a candle for birthday cake. I thought, the surprise is birthday cake. So, I didn't prepare something special before like I did when my friends celebrate their birthday.

On the D day, in the morning, tee texted me and asked me to meet her in campus (in that day, Bambang worked as a volunteer in campus). about 9 a.m we met in the campus. I just saw tee, and she just brought a cone ice cream in her right hand and candles in the left hand. hohoho, she bought it suddenly. the surprise was ready, but we still waited nadhia. because of long time we waited and she didn't come, we stolen up on Bambang workplace with an ice cream with red candle on the top. gotcha!!! successful!!! he shocked when we came to his workplace with that. tee and I sang a birthday song, then Bambang made a wish and blew the fire of candle. finally, we ate the ice cream together while recorded the moment. happy birthday Bambang, now you're 21 years old. do your final exam, road to graduate and get busy with your job in the future.

My grandmom's name is Soemarsi. I came to Jakarta in the first time when I was a child because of her. I have a lot of memory with her, sad or good stories. What we talked about if we met or just communicate from cellphone? We talk about health. She has a huge body, but since he felt her body is bigger, she kept her body with healthy foods. She always asked me to keep my body with doing a diet, balancing my body. My grandmom live in Jakarta with her husband, daughter, and grandchild. She love her grandchild very much.

Our last communication is from cellphone. She sent MMS to me, her grandchild photo. She always said to me to work hard, keep healthy and stay near with GOD.
