<br />
2019 has been a whirlwind for me, this year I have been on my highest and lowest point in my life for the first time since forever.<br />
<br />
1. Getting married! we finally putting the rings on!<br />
2. Travel to Japan for the first time, as mentioned before, I've always wanted to visit Japan since forever and we finally did (we are planning to go back in 2020)<br />
3. Our Youtube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC--3hrSnLmeE7Ayklxbq6XA/videos" target="_blank">ReelMandrill</a> finally taking off. Go pay a visit to our channel π<br />
4. Meeting a lot of influencers because of Youtube<br />
5. Manage a shit ton of corporate events at work<br />
6. For the first time, I wanted to resigned so-freaking-badly but I couldn't due to financial stability<br />
7. Getting my dream car (VW Golf)<br />
8. Getting pregnant<br />
9. Getting miscarriage<br /><br />
10. Feeling depressed because of work pressure, but again, back to point no.6<br />
<br />
Okay, let's elaborate one-by-one shall we?<br />
<br />
1. Getting Married<br />
<br />
On January 19th 2019, me and my 8 years bf are getting married. It was truly one of the happiest moment of my life, all the hard work we put into the preparation has finally come true. If you are currently planning a wedding, my only tip would be, really trust God, money will come eventually. Sounds cliche, but I've been told the same and never believed in it until it happened to us!<br />
<br />
2. Travel to Japan<br />
<br />
If you read my previous post about Eurotrip, I've always been wanting to visit Japan. My childhood and I believe a lot of 90's kids in Indonesia also heavily influenced by Japanese culture (until K-pop came along π). I've hit most of touristy spots; Osaka, Universal Studios, Tokyo, Kyoto. And we then realized, 7 days trip was not enough, so we bought our ticket to come back in May 2020.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC--3hrSnLmeE7Ayklxbq6XA/videos" target="_blank">ReelMandrill</a> Youtube Channel<br />
<br />
My husband and I initially created this channel simply for fun, until one day we started to take things seriously. He partnered with 2 other friends and collaborate with many influencers and celebrities to contribute in our channel. There has been a lot of struggle, arguments and disappointment along the way, yet here we are, still going strong. We even hired a freelance video editor to help us. I am forever grateful to have these people around me including my Husband passion in making this come alive.<br />
<br />
4. Meeting Influencers for Youtube<br />
<br />
This is something new and never in a million years I thought this would happened to me. We met a lot of people from various background through Youtube collaboration, and this has also helped me to be more social with people. I'm learning to understand other people's perspective, that celebrities were also humans and they are pretty much like us (except they are famous π)<br />
<br />
5. Manage Corporate Events<br />
<br />
It has been my expertise to do event management, and I would pat my own back for finishing almost 20 events (mostly by myself) this year. It was definitely not an easy job, and to be completely honest, with a new "re-structure" at my office, things get tougher, and I lost my passion along the way. No, I don't lost my interest in Marketing, but some people above me made me depressed and feel I am incapable of my own job. I don't have anyone to talk or discuss to anymore, therefore, resulted in my next point.<br />
<br />
6. I Wanted to Resign<br />
<br />
Due to what happened on point 5, I am contemplating to really leaving this company, just to find my own self and my passion again.<br />
<br />
7. Getting VW Golf<br />
<br />
So I've been dreaming to own VW Golf since I was in Junior High. I was playing Need for Speed game in Play Station, and dreamed about owning one ever since. TRUE STORY! Until this year, we saved enough money to finally buy one. It was magical, and I am forever grateful for not giving up on my dream.<br />
<br />
8. Getting Pregnant<br />
<br />
On November 2019, i was pregnant, without knowing. There are no particular signs, I only felt my body is getting wider, and of course, my period is late. Until it was late for 2 weeks and I'm starting to question myself. So I did take a test and it came out a little blurry. It says positive but it was a faint line. To be completely honest I had a mixed feeling about it, not entirely happy nor disappointed. Since I was really burned out at the office, I am not entirely sure I am ready for a baby.</p><p><br /></p><p>9. Getting Miscarriage</p><p>We are planning to announce it to our families by the next weekend, however I noticed that I had dots of blood "under there" on Monday. I immediately google this to find what happened and turns out there were a lot of articles saying that this is normal, so I did not take a serious thoughts into it and move on with the day. Then on Tuesday, the marks did not disappear so I called a nearby clinic to book for an OBGYN appointment just to make sure. Thursday was the day I will never forget. We went to the clinic at 11am, went in and get ultrasound. That is the day that I met my little baby, a small circle, floating as big as a kidney bean. The doctor told us that I was 4 weeks pregnant, however it was a risky one, because apparently the embryo position is unusual therefore resulted in my hemorrhage for the past 2 days. The doctor then prescribed some medication, and told me to take a bed rest for the rest of the day. Since I am soooo stupid, I did not take it very seriously, I still went to get lunch after my appointment, with very little walking, of course, and still doing work at home until afternoon. I then take a nap around 4 pm after taking the medication, and waiting for my husband to come home. Then at 7 pm I felt pain around my stomach area, and start bleeding again, but now it was a lot. It felt like the menstrual cramps but 5x more painful. I couldn't handle it, the blood keeps coming out. My only thought was I need to stay conscious, while asking my husband to call a doctor for advise. I finished my bleeding around 9pm. I went outside the bathroom and fell on the ground, I don't have any energy left after withstanding the pain. We then went to the hospital, just to make sure, but all of the OBGYN was not available that night so they only gave me some medication to help with my bleeding and pain. The next day we went to the hospital again to check with ultrasound and the result was...we lost the baby.</p><p><br /></p><p>10. Getting Depressed</p><p>I couldn't elaborate anymore because this has affected my mental health, I really need another job badly. The company management sucks, to simply say. </p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, that's a roller coaster ride of my 2019. How's yours?</p><p> Pic source: <a href="<a href='https://www.freepik.com/photos/background'>Background photo created by jcomp - www.freepik.com</a>" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">freepik </a><br /></p>chupachup apple.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05781432913855368365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461882340483109474.post-36525230637252467722020-01-12T23:07:00.001+07:002021-06-08T16:51:10.281+07:00Serenity in KYOTO<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: center;">Next stop is Kyoto. We took a 2 hour-ish train ride to Kyoto. I am glad to sneak Kyoto in between Osaka and Tokyo because it is truly beautiful. We stayed at </span><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinaliao/2018/12/10/a-look-at-enso-ango-in-kyoto-japans-first-dispersed-hotel/#59f551c22a54" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Enso Ango Yamato I</a><span style="text-align: center;"> Hotel, A complete contrary of the city vibe, the interior has contemporary modern look (I don't really like Japanese traditional style hotels anyway) The hotel was very unique and nice.</span><br />

We visited Kinkakuji Temple on the first day, the weather was gloomy all day with a slight rain. Too bad the photos aren't the best, but the temple looked majestic and very impressive. Try to visit this place early to avoid crowd. Unlike busy cities like Tokyo and Osaka, here in Kyoto we take bus to go around the town. There are a lot of shrines and temples around the city that you could visit so plan well ahead.<br />

We finally get to try the conveyor belt sushi for the first time in Japan here at Nishiki Market. Unfortunately, I totally forgot the restaurant name was, but it is easily noticed when you stroll around the market. The first bite of salmon sashimi I taken was glorious. It is super fresh, sweet and buttery soft, it melts in your mouth. You can also check out the review here.<br />

We also visited Maruyama Park early in the morning since the 1st day was a total failure due to heavy rain. Almost all places we wanted to visit was either parks, shrines, or temples and it was also really cold. Although it's not spring yet, the park still looked beautiful and serene.<br />

It was really a pleasant visit to Kyoto and I don't mind to come back again to fully experience the city.chupachup apple.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05781432913855368365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461882340483109474.post-87941865187077692182019-12-29T23:01:00.004+07:002019-12-29T23:04:38.256+07:00O SA KA<span style="text-align: center;">So, let me tell you a story. Before Europe, I've always dreaming of going to Japan, so when the time has come a.k.a travel fair π I went to get the airplane tickets, 6 months prior the travel date. Although we (me and my finance, and now husband) did not get the cheapest price possible, which is 4,5 mio all in, we managed to get 5,5 mio all in with Singapore Airlines.</span><br />
<br />
To be completely honest, I did not do a very deep research and preparation like I did before Europe, so here goes...<br />
<br />
First off, better book local/ connecting train tickets, all kinds of tickets (if possible) in advance. You will save a lot. I recommend to look onto <a href="https://www.klook.com/id/" target="_blank">KLOOK</a> for these. (see how that rhymes? π)<br />

We arrived at Osaka around 11 PM, the bad news was, I book a connecting train ticket from Kansai Airport to our hotel through klook but the ticketing kiosk closed at 11.30. Once I get my luggage, I ran to find the kiosk and luckily it still opened! then the intimidating "ticket machine" part comes...of course you can choose English for the menu but since there were a long queue on the ticket machine, I feel rushed to finish my booking, so I ended up failing to buy my first ICOCA card (basically similar to E-money in Indonesia) on that day.<br />

The next day, we first went to GLION Museum, where old iconic cars were displayed. Ticket price is around IDR 80K and bought it from <a href="https://www.traveloka.com/en-id/" target="_blank">TRAVELOKA</a>. Initially we went here to find the iconic AE 86 car from Inital D cartoon, but unfortunately the car has been sold π. Nevertheless, the car collection was interesting. Then we went to UNIVERSAL STUDIO OSAKA! to be completely honest, this place is the reason why we went to Osaka on the first place. Obviously to experience the Harry Potter land. We bought our ticket though Traveloka as well, because it's cheaper than Klook. Again, it never disappoint you in any way! SO MUCH FUN, although I cannot stand the cold, It was around 10C during the daytime and get so much colder at night. Foods are overpriced, but that was expected.<br />

The highlight of the Harry Potter land was definitely visiting the Hogwarts castle and trying out Butterbeer. Although it was basically root beer with foam, it still tasted really good. I wish they made a canned version to take home as a souvenir. Oh, you may refer to this video for Universal Studios Osaka Food Review!<br />

The next day we went to Dotonbori, which is a shopping district in Osaka. First thing first, I went to Apple Store to get a pair of iphone charger/ cable. 20% cheaper than Indonesia, FYI. My friend also told me Japan is the only Asian country that has has 1:1 price compared to US. Second is Hongkong and third is Singapore, and somewhat true, because my husband also bought a 2017 secondhand touchbar macbook pro for 30% less compared to Indonesia price and it is physically 90% new. So Much WIN!<br />

To be completely honest with you, this Japan trip is very rushed, so I don't really have a day-to-day itinerary list. After strolling around in cold, we stumbled upon a random ramen shop. I did not even look for the shop name as I can't read hiragana. I only saw that they serve chicken ramen (i don't think it's halal tho...) and the picture seems very appetizing so we went straight in. And IT IS SO GOOD!<br />

The broth is super flavorful, the chicken charsiu were also very tender, it tasted heavenly on a cold weather. They also serve kimchi on the side to cut the greasiness.<br />
<br />
Few tips that might help:<br />
<br />
1. Most restaurants offer refillable water/ ocha for free<br />
2. ABC mart prices were cheaper than Tokyo, so if you are looking to buy sneakers try Osaka ABC mart first<br />
3. Most hotels (even hostels) have hairdryer, so you don't have to bring your own<br />
4. Try to avoid coming home around 6 or 7 pm as trains are really packed<br />
<br />
So that is all of my highlights on Osaka, and see you at Kyoto post!<br />

Back at it again to finally finish my final Eurotrip post, and we're finally arrived at our last city, Munich, Germany.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest I kinda don't remember how I get to this city, I can only remembered arriving at the Hauptbahnhof station around 7AM. First impression, this city was freakin cold, I think it was 10C when I'm arrived. We also saw a lot of Bayern Munchen supporters roaming around the station yelling their chant over and over again only wearing shorts in that cold weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our hotel was located 5 mins walk from that central station so it is very easy for us to access anywhere. I also managed to find my favorite food in Munich which is pretzel with cheese filling and chunks of salt on top at Yorma's. SO GOOD!</div>

We first went for a stroll around Marienplatz. See these buildings and colors? Welcome to Hogwarts! JK, this is not England. I noticed the city has a lot of old Medieval style building. FYI, I hate movies and TV series that takes place in Medieval era. But still, it was cartoon-ey and aesthetically pleasing.</div>

DISCLAIMER: we basically went for palace/ castle -hopping during our visit here, and all of palaces we've visited prohibit cameras during the tour, so for sure there were not much pictures to show but all of these palaces are VERY OVER THE TOP. comparable to Versailles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, we went to Schloss Nymphenburg. This palace was used as summer residence by the rulers of Bavaria, also known as House of Wittlesbach. Too bad the weather always gloomy during our 3-day visit there. The architecture style in Bavaria castles are mostly done in Baroque style. Very intricate. The highlight was the marble hall, it was beautiful.</div>

The second day we went for 30 mins train ride to Schloss Herrenchiemsee. This palace is CRAZY! First of all, it was located in the middle of a lake. We need to switch for a 10 mins choo-choo train ride, and then switch to a boat to arrive at the small island. You think we've arrived? not yet. We still have to go through this small forest by foot to get to the palace. Was it worth it? YES. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This castle was built by the crazy King Ludwig II. He is famous for his interest in technology and I think this also the reason why Germany always linked to technology. The king's bedroom features this blue crystal ball which I totally forgot what it was meant for but pretty sure it has something to do with the king's love for the sun and universe-thing. The rest, you can pretty much google about it and get fascinated by how lavish this palace was.</div>

On the last full day we're on Munich we decided to go to the Schloss Newscwanstein. To get here, we went for I think 1 hour train ride, followed by a bus ride for a cheaper option to get to the bottom part of the castles/ hills. First stop, Schloss Hohenschwangau. This castle was built by King Ludwig II father, King Maximilian II of Bavaria. Out of all other castle/ palace I've visited, this one is the most "basic" one, built in Medieval era. The view was absolutely amazing in here!</div>

Next stop is the famous Schloss Neuschwanstein! Fun fact, this castle was the reference of Disney's Cinderella castle. It's real guys. To reach this castle we need to either hike for 20 mins or take a bus ride. We of course opted for the bus ride π</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the craziest castle I've ever visited! It is basically King Ludwig's dream land. It features flushing toilet (imagine, in that era!), a telephone line, a theatre, an artificial cave and waterfall. Although this castle still remains unfinished, it was definitely worth visit!</div>

So that's the recap of my visit to Munich, most of it was definitely unforgettable experience. We've encountered racism, walking on rain due to missing the choo-choo train schedule and getting that "such a cheapskate" look from a waitress because we shared a ginormous size of a chicken schnitzel. </div>

Yo! let's praise my own willingness to write another post about my 2016 Eurotrip in 2018! (such an achievement right?) Jokes aside, I am writing this because i really wanted to just finish these posts and move on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So let's talk about the country I am exited about after France; GREECE! and let's discuss the things that makes me wanted to visit this country so bad shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. I grew up playing this PC game called Zeus (anyone can relate?) and it's basically we play god and build a city. The game was set in ancient Greece where from this game I learned about building temples, understanding various gods, commodities and other fun stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I just finished watching this VERY popular korean drama called "Descendant of the Sun" where there was a scene at the Navagio beach whereby a shipwreck stranded on the shore and it was very gorgeous, but too bad we did not actually visit anywhere outside Athens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first day we arrived, just like when we arrive in other countries, we would opted to go with train/subway for the cheapest transportation to the city but apparently that would be a wrong choice because I did not remembered exactly how much, i think it was around 60 EUR/person. So freakin expensive, so later we opted to go by bus which obviously takes a lot longer and we need to change a few lanes to get to our hostel. We've noticed that the city don't have any skyscraper buildings, it looks like Jakarta in 80's or 90's.<br />

We bought our first Souvlaki which packed with meat and fries in a huge roll of pita bread. It was really cheap and FYI, out of all countries in Europe, bottled water in Greece is the cheapest! We used to be that cheapskate and always refill our bottle at the hotel before leaving but now we can buy water from the vending machine. We also tried Moussaka which looks like lasagna stuffed with eggplant, minced beef and tomato. My favorite dish would be Bougatsa because I've seen it a lot on TV but never across finding it in Jakarta. It's basically a dessert i would say, (similar to) pastry dough on the outside and a thick filling on the inside. It was very good! The weirdest food we've tried would be Saganaki which is literally "fried cheese".<br />

Ok, onto the sightseeing. I mean what's the point of going to Greece without visiting the temples right? so we did went to the Acropolis. It was a huge area where on top of the hills you can finally see the temple ruins. We are awed by the fact that most of the area of the Acropolis are built with marbles. You need to be careful tho because it is a bit slippery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not to discourage you but to be honest I would not really recommend on going to the Acropolis area because it still being renovated after the war, so you can not really see it as a whole as it still has a lot of construction things on the temples, and the reason I get really disappointed is because the fact that you cannot see any of the gods statue there, AT ALL with a very pricey admission ticket. You need to go to this museum on the other side of the hill and pay another admission ticket and they did not even have the Athena statue there. They said it got ruined (i think most likely stolen) during the war with Romans. What a total disappointment.<br />

Notice that pictures above look like it was taken on a gloomy day? It was actually freakin hot outside and apparently there was a sandstorm somewhere and the dust are traveled and cover the whole sky of this city. As disappointed as I was with the fact that I cannot even find a single statue standing in this area, I was impressed on how rich and cultured this country was, everything were made out of marbles and there are still "something" left for people to see as a witness of how successful this country was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

To make that up, let me give you a 180 degrees pictures of the actual beauty of Greece here:<br />

So that would be the highlight of my trip to Greece, to sum everything up I would say the Mediterranean breezy weather was really nice, every picture taken there looks stunning because it contrast with the blue sky. People here are also very nice and welcoming. Prices are fairly good and the food tasted amazing.</div>

I tried to think about a catchy title for this post but my brain can only work to that point so let's laugh silently for my skill. Anyways, as you can read from the title, let's talk about Netherlands!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is actually the country i was landed on for the first time in Europe since my sister lived here. Surprisingly i did not get any jet lag and after my sister pick me up from the airport we went straight to the subway and arrived at Amsterdam Centraal Station. Of course since I'm a tourist and this is my first time in Europe everything was so fascinating to me, including going on a boat ride crossing to a small island where there was a cafe on it and a huge I Amsterdam thing whereby people (I mean, me as well) taking pictures at.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest Netherlands is not my favorite country because of the weather. It is so indecisive! but mostly it is always gloomy. Funny how this Eurotrip sometimes makes me look stupid because we were going in and out to different countries with different weather so I carry a thick jacket to Greece and Italy. People are giving me that "why are you carrying that in this weather" look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also did not spend that much time in Netherlands because let's be real, my only "must-go" is Keukenhof Festival and that's all i wanted. Thankfully the weather during our visit there was sunny and breezy. It was really nice.</div>

I also had a joyous time on Primark! It's absolutely better than H(and) M, especially the price. I came from Indonesia and supposedly everything seems expensive to me but in this place, I actually can shop as much as I was in Indonesia, or even more. Everything is so freakin cheap with a good quality. SO MUCH WIN! (it's probably because end of season as well)</div>

I actually did not stayed in Amsterdam because my sister lives in Eindhoven, a small city 30 mins train ride outside Amsterdam. To be honest I liked Eindhoven a lot more compared to Amsterdam because it was a slow-paced-kind-of city, which I liked. Amsterdam on the other hand got a lot of things but the city was too busy and a bit dirty.</div>

Writing this at 9.16 PM with my determination to continue this post before I forgot everything. So let's start with my 2nd stop which is Rome!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We landed in Rome around noon and went straight to the Termini (which is the central train station) by...BUS. Yep, you read that correctly, I totally forgot why we take the bus but a quick pro-tip for you to save money is to pre-book your tickets. All kinds of tickets whether it's a museum, park, bus or whatever because the price difference is quite high when you buy it on the spot. Sometimes you can't even buy the tickets on the spot. Watch out for pickpockets as well! I've seen a few attempts of people try to steal something from me, especially since I looked like a tourist. I mean, I cannot help to look like a tourist since I am Asian...the struggle guys...*sigh*</div>

I am actually kind of disappointed on how dirty the city was (or probably because I am not staying in the fancy area) dog poop and trash are scattered everywhere. The train smells really bad, the stations are dirty. But on the other hand the buildings was definitely beautiful. My favorite was Fontana di Trevi, obviously. It was beautiful and the best part was we went there just after the fountain got renovated so it looks very clean.</div>

Food wise, I did not expect how tomato-ey the pasta was. Unlike anything I ate in Jakarta, it still tasted really different but on the other side, my food horizon was also broaden because I've never tasted tiramisu that special except in here. It was so good!</div>

This one is special, we literally booked an hour train ride to Tivoli just to visit Villa D'Este. If you watched Lizzie Mc Guire the Movie then you'll definitely know what exactly I'm talking about. We arrived at noon, and it was already cloudy, so after we went out of the train station, the shortcut to the city was crossing this long scary bridge because 1. It was cloudy, 2. We are afraid of being robbed. So we walked very fast and arrived at the "city". But boy, apparently the location was very far from the train station and the sign was not clear at all. Without any reception nor data plan on our phone, we literally only prayed that we can read maps correctly.</div>

The Villa was not that special but the "backyard" is the one I'm talking about. It has around 5 or 6 big water fountain! Not only that but all of the fountains were NOT run by electricity, because the villa was made in a terraced style, so all of the waters that runs through those fountains only done by gravity. One special fountain also features organ where in certain hours, a small door will opened up and play some music on the back of the fountain and the organ runs by water! How cool is that?</div>

We've also visited Vatican, but only went on the outside because we don't have much time (and money) but just looking on the outside, the building was majestic. All those statues and the details, makes everything looks beautiful. I also felt both interior and architecture in Rome were not that "colorful" compared to Paris. The colors were a lot softer and subtle.</div>

I don't think I have the greatest experience in Rome to be honest, the prices are acceptable but probably because of mostly gloomy weather I cannot really enjoy the city. I truly believe Rome has it's golden era back then and that what makes Rome how it is now. </div>

<br />
<br />
I believe everyone will fall in love at the first sight for this city. To me is a bit of both as I've seen the good and the bad. Yet, still unforgettable memories.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arrived in Paris by bus (which supposed to be at 7 a.m. but actually arrived at 5 a.m.) freakin cold! Obviously I cannot check in to my hotel so we only dropped our baggage and went straight for breakfast. Stopped by at Henry V station. It was located alongside of the famous Champ Elysees street. Funny how I can get full only by eating a croissant, 2 toast with jam and a cup of hot chocolate. If I ate that in Indonesia as my everyday breakfast I would already be dying before 12. Somehow my body adjusted really well there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We strolled down the street and ended up spending 3 hours at Sephora. Oh, I already mentioned "we" as if you already know. I did this whole Eurotrip with my sister by the way. She live in Netherlands.</div>
<br />
The highlights of my trip to Paris are:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Food was great! (as I would expected, obviously)<br />

I got the chance to eat at this traditional restaurant near Moulin Rouge. We need to book weeks before visiting to be seated inside. Really low ceiling, not so great decoration but food was great! I finally ate escargot in France! YAY! Verdict was..chewy..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also managed to eat duck confit. This...would be the highlight of our dinner. Crispy skin yet tender on the inside. The sauce also complements the duck really well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally ate Nutella crepes as well. </div>

2. Lavish palace<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's always some kind of "art" incorporated to old buildings, either small details of logos to sculptures on the wall. I went to so-obvious Louvre but did not get inside the museum because the queue was so freaking long. So we only went around the upper part of the museum. But still, I cannot believe that back in the old days, these people managed to build this very detailed sculptures mounted to the wall only for the aesthetics.</div>
<br />
I also went to Versailles!<br />

Let's have a real talk right now. I cannot get over how luxurious this palace was. Gold gates and roof ornaments, a HUGE palace with sooo many paintings, and each room has their own "theme". Did I also mentioned that this palace area was LITERALLY HUGE? I mean, they had this main palace at the very front, then they got huge fountains across the "backyard" then they still got Summer Villa/Visitor Villa and at the far back, Marie Antoinette managed to <u>build</u>, <i>yes you read that correctly</i>, <u>build</u> a small village resembles her childhood village where she used to live. I even take this little train ride just to explore the whole palace area. I haven't even started talking about the inside right? marble floors and gold plated everything was standard. I am mesmerized looking at their dance hall. Full of mirrors and chandeliers. It was really gorgeous!</div>

3. Gorgeous Coastline<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the last day in Paris, we went to Nice. Although we arrived with gloomy weather, I instantly knew that this place is amazing. We only stayed for 1 night in Nice. To be honest, Nice is our "transit" city because our main goal is to get to Monaco. We take a 20 minute train ride and found ourselves traveling around the coastline of Nice leading up to Monaco. <i>Fun fact, Monaco's train station is the cleanest among all other country I've been in Europe and smells really good</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Too bad we arrived almost noon, around 4 p.m and the weather was also quite gloomy so we can only strolled around for 2 hours and surprisingly the city was kind of empty. Not so many people are around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nice was definitely somewhere I want to grow old at. Slow-paced-city, nice Mediterranean weather where you get a bit of the heat and the breeze. The city was not crowded at all, which I like. I already imagined myself going to a small shop every morning to get my freshly baked croissant and coffee to start my day.</div>
<br />
4. Shopping<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I mean, I'm probably not the right person to talk about this as I am obviously cannot afford any Chanel nor HermΓ©s bag but you will feel the satisfaction even only buying from the-so-obvious-retails (read: Sephora) that satisfaction came when you went out of the store carrying the Sephora paper bag but it has Champ Elysee printed on the bottom. That exclusive feeling...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To summarize France (read: Paris and Nice) i would say that this country had a lot of history, although the culture might not be the best, this country live from the past and that what keeps it alive. The "art" part is well defined in here, everything is beautiful.</div>

<br />Ah, can't believe i'm writing this, and yes, you are reading that title correctly. I went to Europe!<br />
<br />
It all began when I have discussion with my mom about what-am-i-going-to-do-with-my-"arisan"-money. Europe was never on my bucket list in my short term vacation plan. I always wanted to go to Japan. Then my mom started this mind-games that makes me consider twice and my sister was also wanting me to go there (Europe), she wanted to go to Greece, and I have always wanted to go there too so a few weeks later we were skype-ing to plan our trip.<br />
<br />
A few tips for those of you planning for a trip to Europe:<br />
<br />
1. Do your research, find out about the Visa, how much you need to pay, which country you're applying your Visa to, how much money you need to prepare and all that shit. I would recommend this <a href="http://www.jambukebalik.com/2014/12/pengalaman-mengurus-visa-schengen-di.html" target="_blank">page</a> for guidance.<br />
2. Prepare your money. It doesn't have to be unbelievable amount of money transferred to your bank account in a short period of time. They just wanted to know if you are able to live there according to your plan.<br />
3. Do not buy your plane tickets yet! Do it after you got the Visa. I mean, if shit happens, at least you won't lose your airplane ticket (and it's not cheap guys)<br />
4. I would suggest not to take visa services. It's not that hard and you are basically paying extra for nothing. Those visa services cannot replace you for your visa interview. You still have to attend it yourself so..what's the point?<br />
5. Don't panic! during your visa interview the interviewer might look and sound intimidating but that's their job, all you need to do is be calm and collected, answer their questions straight away without any hesitant. When I got interviewed it probably took 5-10 mins and he only asks when I'll be leaving and be back and what I'm going there for.<br />
6. Airplane tickets can be really expensive and I would suggest to take the fastest route possible. Go check this <a href="https://www.skyscanner.net/" target="_blank">website</a> so you can get the exact same flight with various prices and make sure all the tax and all that shit is included in the price. Go for the midnight flights because I have proven that this will help you avoid jet lag.<br />
7. Have fun! this is your vacation anyway, enjoy it, you deserve it!<br />
<br />
Will post each country experience with no particular order. Stay tuned!chupachup apple.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05781432913855368365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461882340483109474.post-52605179086054703752013-03-25T21:39:00.000+07:002013-03-25T21:39:21.115+07:00Things I Learned from Korea<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. There's always some absurd use of english for cafe/ restaurant names. I saw a coffee shop named "Standing Coffee" and a restaurant named "Slow Garden". What was that supposed to mean?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Korean people (both men and women) are so stylish, their skin are flawless and skinny, like no joke! This explains why there's tons of skin care shops in Korea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Based on what i see, when it's working time, there's almost no one outside the building. Nothing like Jakarta where random people are hanging out around the streets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. I don't know what happened between Koreans and Chinese in the past, but every time i ask for bargain, they always said "This is made in Korea, NOT China!" and they can't give any discount.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

5. Korea should be nominated as the capital of Romance City! people are like literally dating and being lovey- dovey with their bf/ gf everywhere. For those who are single, close your eyes, you'll probably getting a heartache. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. I don't know much why Koreans are not ashamed to fight in public. I've seen couples are getting into a fight, like literally.. i was like shocked when i saw it. But apparently people around me wasn't. I also seen ahjummas are fighting (not physically) but they screams at each other. When i asked my friend about it, she said it's a common thing. They even sometimes kissing in public.</div>

Day 4! the last day :(</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sadly, my trip ends, since tomorrow morning we should be at Incheon Airport at 9. Sucks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We didn't have early schedule today (which i really regret) we start off around 11. The first stop is the Korean National Museum. It is located between Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the "Blue House" which is the president house.</div>

These are pretty much inside of the museum. Korean do love their country I guess because I've seen a lot about political history in here. Meet Lee Myung- Bak. Korea's 17th president. I heard he'll be off- duty soon since the new president was elected. and yes, for the first time in history, it's a woman!</div>

This is located in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace. I didn't get any chance to visit this place since it's freezing outside. It's around -12C that day. There is "King Seojong" statue at the back. He is the one who created 'Hangeul' (Korean script). After we're done with the museum, we're going for lunch. Yay! we went to this samgyetang restaurant again, but this time, it was a specialty restaurant. Rumor has it this was one of former Korean President's favorite place!. And indeed! this is the best! that samgyetang with pumpkin seeds gave special crunch to it. </div>

With warm tummy, we continue our journey to Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was the first time my ear hurts while i was outside. It was extreme weather and i don't have anything to cover my ear, so I just running from one place to another and trying to find a building. My body doesn't feel cold at all, it's just my ears that hurts and annoyed my trip. It was freaking freezing and i found that Gyeongbokgung was an open space! great! The thing i learned about "old korea" was... beautiful. especially their traditional clothes, hanbok. Everything has it's meaning and korean government take tourism seriously.</div>

So after we're done wandering around at this palace, we went to Namdaemun Market. Shopping time! woohoo!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Went to buy chocolates, cookies and other stuff for souvenirs. It was around 5pm that and it's getting freezing like... i don't even know how to say it. I have no choice but to buy an ear muff since we are going to Namsan Tower after this. There's no way i will survive without an ear muff. For those who wanted to buy traditional souvenirs, you better buy it at Namdaemun because it's a lot cheaper than Insadong. The exact same thing for less! yes, i felt guilty because of this. You can find pretty much anything in here from food, fashion, and other stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And when it can't go any worse, my battery went low, so that's the reason why i can't give any picture at Namdaemun. I'm saving it for Namsan.</div>

We should get on this cable car first to get to the tower. And i found out there's also a <b>pedestrian</b> (yes, you read that right) road for those who want to climb to the tower. It cost you 8000 won for round trip ticket.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I actually didn't recommend to go inside the tower because there's nothing special in it. You have to spend another 7000 won to go to the observatory for unclear sight- seeing, and you should buy another ticket if you wanted to see the Teddy Bear Museum. For more information click<a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_6.jsp?cid=260067" target="_blank"> here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After we're done seeing unclear things, (although it's beautiful at night seeing the entire Seoul) we had our dinner. We ate grilled bulgogi. I think it was another version of bulgogi but i can't remember what it was called. We still wanted some shopping so we went to Doota Shopping Mall at Dongdaemun. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FYI, Doota is a 24 hours mall. There's another 24 hours mall around Dongdaemun shopping area as well. We had our late shopping at around 11pm while we have to be ready at 7am the next day. LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fun thing was some shops gave tax refund and we can get the refund at the airport. yay! but i think Myeong-dong shop prices are lower than Doota's. So... choose wisely. Oh! Doota only sells local brand and local designers clothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, i guess that's it. So long Korea! i hope i can give a visit at another season to truly enjoy the country.</div>

No, we don't have tight schedule today so we start off at 11. What did i do before 11? well.. i might have a little early shopping at Zara. There's no way you are not visit the store since it's 2 buildings away from my hotel and ended up getting this. The only thing that made me a bit annoyed is the size chart in korea. WHY DO KOREANS ARE SMALL?? i'm a medium size or even small in Indonesia, but in korea i always fit to large? so unfair!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OH! i also forgot, during my visit, korea was having KOREA GREAT SALE! at literally every store.</div>

After wandering around for quite sometime, we ended up at <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=264116" target="_blank">Namsangol Hanok Village</a>, located in Namsan. We arrived at around 6 pm and it's FREEZIING! even the stream was frozen. We can't see anything clear but overall it was traditional korean house in 1 area. Most of the houses were scattered aroud korea back then, but then it was moved into this village so it can be preserved for tourism. </div>

Since it's getting cold, (thank god cars have heater!) we decided to go back to Myeong-Dong to have dinner. And today we had Jjigae! i've been longing to try this dish because it looks really delicious, and indeed, they're so good especially during winter. I tried seafood jjigae. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After we're done eating, we had free time! and of course, me and my mom decided to go shopping around Myeong-Dong! woohoo! the shopping area was really big like literally. first stop, Noon shopping mall. Went to H&M, craving for so much stuff but ended up buying nothing since I can't decide what i wanted to buy. I was thrilled when i found FUBU! and of course there's T.O.P picture in a cardboard, but i was too embarrassed to take pictures there. The absurd thing was my mom and i said we should buy some skin care product but apparently the only thing we bought was a nail clipper from ARITAUM! i didn't know what was on our mind that day and i totally regret it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the most stupid thing me and my mom totally regret was the fact that we didn't visit the LOTTE Department Store which located right across our hotel, which we always see everyday!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So that's the recap of Day 3! see you on D4! annyeong!</div>

Day 2! woohoo! i survived the cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had so many places to visit this day. First stop, U-City in Incheon. This superb "future city" has everything for everyone. This city was supposed to be an interconnected city for economic, trades, offices, residences (which in this case means apartments), and entertainment area and will be done by 2020. </div>

yesss! there's 5D theater in this building. Altough they only playing the "advertisement" movie about the prospect of this city, i still feel amused, this proved that they doing marketing to the next level.<br />
<br />
Then we went to.. i didn't know what it was called but i guess is a museum about Incheon bridge. And did you know? the Asian Games 2014 will be held in Incheon?<br />

Why all coffee shops in Korea has to be this cute? makes me wanted to live here! ooohhh *faint*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After finished eating in that super cute coffee shop, we went to TS, a company that inspect the safety for every vehicle, the fun part starts after visiting TS.. we went to Insadong. This area is famous for it's art shops, especially traditional korean art. Unfortunately wet snow starts to fall that evening :( the roads are mainly still covered in snow so the wet snow made it more slippery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Apparently, i accidentally went to this place, i forgot what it was called since i can't read hangeul. This place was used in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up6n1WrB7aE" target="_blank">Seoul Song</a> video clip where there's donghae and sooyoung, also ryeowook? i guess.

Meet Ratih! the tour guide/ translator for our trip in Seoul, and yes, she's Indonesian. I was also trying this ddung cake. Ddung means "poop" in Korean. Basically it was a soft cake, made by order with read bean paste filling and it was really delicious! The perfect thing to munch on a cold day. I was also tried hotteok, i didn't know what it's exactly made of but it's basically a batter, fried with something sweet almost like sugar in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then we went souvenir shopping here, and yes, everything was packed nicely. how can't you resist them?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And we had our dinner in here too! a big dinner. We had bulgogi, seafood cooked in gochujang, seafood cooked in a pot, another japchae, fried fish, and makgeolli (korean rice wine) that tasted exactly like "tape" in Indonesia.</div>

So, on Feb 4-8 i had a business trip to SEOUL! this is definitely my biggest lifetime wish. I've been longing to visit south korea because well, ehm, my obsession with k-pop and stuff :p but i really interested with the country as well, whether its culture, food, technology and their fashion. This is definitely a true blessing to start 2013. Alhamdulilah, i still can't believe my 2 biggest lifetime wish had been achived which are visiting South Korea and watching BIGBANG concert :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To start off, i was aware that it's still winter in South Korea, but i was taking it too easy. i just prepared a coat, 2 pair of socks, 2 shawls, and a pair of winter legging for my winter gear, but boy i'm wrong! I was landed on a snowy runway! according to my last research, its not going to be snowing anytime soon when i get there, but that was definitely wrong and yes it's freezing when i get off the plane. By the way, Incheon airport is definitely DAEBAK! so cool with all their facilities and not to mention, how HUGE it is. By the way, back to the topic. I just wore a tanktop, shirt and a pair of jegging, i think it's about -2 degrees on that day. Since it's my first time having a trip on winter, i was shocked. I couldn't handle the wind.<br />
<br />
First stop, of course hotel. We stayed at Ibis Myeong-Dong which happens to be in the middle of shopping area (read: Lotte Department Store, tons of skin care shops, and international clothing brand like Zara, H&M and Forever 21). Then off for lunch, we went to a chicken restaurant around our hotel, and boom! look where i went to..<br />

YES! BIGBANG visited this restaurant before. By the way, I was eating samgyetang (a whole chicken soup filled with rice and cooked with herbs). With warm tummies, we start our schedule by visiting Samsung SDS followed by visiting Yonsei University which many says that this is the best private college in South Korea, and indeed! it's not only HUGE (this means literally huge) but also full of technology.<br />

We had our dinner at this specialty restaurant (still in Myeong-Dong) that serves traditional korean food and we tried bibimbab (rice with mixed vegetables) and Japchae (stir-fried vermicelli noodle mixed with vegetables and mushroom). I guess korea loves mushroom and bean sprout because they're everywhere on the dish and banchan.</div>

In my experience on korean food, this particular dish is my only NO! i really can't eat something with that raw gochujang (hot pepper paste) tangy smell. Other than bibimbab, i can eat all korean food that cooked with gochujang, including kimchi.</div>

I was visiting Jogjakarta recently for work. Tough I haven't got any chance to go anywhere, the only highlight of this trip would be this hotel I'm staying at. It's called ibis styles hotel. From my small research, this hotel used to be all seasons hotel Yogyakarta, located at malioboro (gejayan area). <br />
This hotel is sooo fun! Check out pictures below, I've never been to a very stylish hotel like this. Definitely gonna stayed there for my next visit to Jogjakarta. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2a1icnm7MzjLXXExn1QODJGRFw8sxyVYJxq04qklRaG5BObjag952gBhP5wsVdUKoa_7MJkJDxqPfQuFXud6ttuh0QEUa41i2LO2AW9CZUvR0tfojOWowCnEfakl7WU2BOi-zkvuw5js/s640/blogger-image--630124976.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2a1icnm7MzjLXXExn1QODJGRFw8sxyVYJxq04qklRaG5BObjag952gBhP5wsVdUKoa_7MJkJDxqPfQuFXud6ttuh0QEUa41i2LO2AW9CZUvR0tfojOWowCnEfakl7WU2BOi-zkvuw5js/s640/blogger-image--630124976.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV3AhP9jZFVgzQvmhJ_p-U3nTLCEGCgQWMjADx9CEAJntH1Dl-iy4hpd-H2FG2xRXE9mN5MOIfhYQlhwKeFAk9JImtJVCMfnjh_fWbqslJA6J3zMxm8kjpf43Y3lKSdPi2aGH1cFdydDg/s640/blogger-image-1770713353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV3AhP9jZFVgzQvmhJ_p-U3nTLCEGCgQWMjADx9CEAJntH1Dl-iy4hpd-H2FG2xRXE9mN5MOIfhYQlhwKeFAk9JImtJVCMfnjh_fWbqslJA6J3zMxm8kjpf43Y3lKSdPi2aGH1cFdydDg/s640/blogger-image-1770713353.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJEEmTWBMrcNlNWa1qUnepHsev9VIS9hFkWelchDIhWxJWS2vlgjQYLSsXea8Yk5QfR8E0-K886Vj8e65zu2nhLNRs9jEqCE3kb8kU56hGHiVevN86PnZYvFkxnifPu6LCAa1EAbRR00U/s640/blogger-image--2089099429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJEEmTWBMrcNlNWa1qUnepHsev9VIS9hFkWelchDIhWxJWS2vlgjQYLSsXea8Yk5QfR8E0-K886Vj8e65zu2nhLNRs9jEqCE3kb8kU56hGHiVevN86PnZYvFkxnifPu6LCAa1EAbRR00U/s640/blogger-image--2089099429.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXOikZXPu6YlNfF3xVMXw3loSlTX-_1rMQ5LT7oElvHGWNsl1RFyjucXOuoQotKS-iZOvB8RXV-SmPXIcLdFNuHrFuq5G2_k8WVcgoUlW_t3EMiMbXsKOF8fpoZBDGzQfdOI8vKfoTHw/s640/blogger-image--1270172292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXOikZXPu6YlNfF3xVMXw3loSlTX-_1rMQ5LT7oElvHGWNsl1RFyjucXOuoQotKS-iZOvB8RXV-SmPXIcLdFNuHrFuq5G2_k8WVcgoUlW_t3EMiMbXsKOF8fpoZBDGzQfdOI8vKfoTHw/s640/blogger-image--1270172292.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3rBbnul2QaGk9GpoPobneJq4AOJnZJ-dt_HkhAHHk0t4YV9pSbO-czpQfJofaoFR1qs-6HKFjugtfPWlgpxWb9CDMT_A3Zv9xNNhaA3oNtUdW94GBAW3q_ga999XvPtSVGzUlWH6HqDY/s640/blogger-image--1085771573.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3rBbnul2QaGk9GpoPobneJq4AOJnZJ-dt_HkhAHHk0t4YV9pSbO-czpQfJofaoFR1qs-6HKFjugtfPWlgpxWb9CDMT_A3Zv9xNNhaA3oNtUdW94GBAW3q_ga999XvPtSVGzUlWH6HqDY/s640/blogger-image--1085771573.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCw14J0nFpWWSAKveAz1ExaYb0r24i4kIni4hxd6wLgVL8pLkKgI_4qAsjz5LXawBeZTAMnUh6kr7JaSoMzfxvMBPG8sa5HLWNGIyIunhM5-2k9xyfmoS4GTuAeilV38_V0dV1IkocEwc/s640/blogger-image-652472492.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCw14J0nFpWWSAKveAz1ExaYb0r24i4kIni4hxd6wLgVL8pLkKgI_4qAsjz5LXawBeZTAMnUh6kr7JaSoMzfxvMBPG8sa5HLWNGIyIunhM5-2k9xyfmoS4GTuAeilV38_V0dV1IkocEwc/s640/blogger-image-652472492.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzQv-cloBODQcurMcyIql9s_I3pVAqJdXD-MD7HYzBdMdn7LBjf-RmjABMuxEn_UA_RjYzrlTcfvvLwWvEawvuebmwPjDXVBCIeF5HtdAR4S6J2V00k_nUbULYhSAsY6B5TlCJ5Si4lfE/s640/blogger-image--260072512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzQv-cloBODQcurMcyIql9s_I3pVAqJdXD-MD7HYzBdMdn7LBjf-RmjABMuxEn_UA_RjYzrlTcfvvLwWvEawvuebmwPjDXVBCIeF5HtdAR4S6J2V00k_nUbULYhSAsY6B5TlCJ5Si4lfE/s640/blogger-image--260072512.jpg" /></a></div>chupachup apple.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05781432913855368365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461882340483109474.post-90483038801849943402012-12-30T21:00:00.000+07:002012-12-30T21:00:08.804+07:00Weekend!<div style="text-align: justify;">

It's been ages since my last post. There are so many ups and downs within these couple months for me. But as for the updates, i had an internship and at the same time preparing my thesis proposal. I never expected this would be really exhausting and time-consuming. In my experience, the first week on working and going to campus back and forth was not only blow up my transportation budget but also exhausting. <br />
I'm working 8-5 then going to campus for class, going home and finishing my thesis proposal. When I get home on those first week doing that, I can't help myself to go straight to my bed. It was awful. I wonder how those people who work while also studying managed to survive? <br />
But it's not like I didn't enjoyed them. I feel blessed to be given an opportunity to had an internship at one of multinational company in Jakarta. Not to mention, I can meet many CEO of multinational companies and political figures. I am really lucky and blessed.<br />
<br />
Another blessing of this year is.... I saw BIGBANG ALIVE CONCERT in JAKARTA. Aaaaa finally i can see their live performance. And they are AMAZING!!!! GAAAAHHHH!!! Gotta watch their concert next year. TOP is definitely dreamy, his voice was deep. And I started to like Daesung too. I mean his cute smile and his voice makes people feel happy. Okay, enough for the fan-girl stuff. I could write an essay about the awesomeness of the concert :p<br />
<br />
Sorry for the "lack of pictures" in this update, I promise you tons of pictures on next post :) <br />

I just made this post to tell that you have to be really really aware and be really careful with your belongings.<br />
<br />
So that day I was intended to meet my friend, my laptop won't shut down and he said that I should bring it to my bf's home and he'll fix it there. I agreed. Suddenly, when I'm finished checking some files, I tried to turn it off again, and like a magic, it worked! Then I tell my friend not to come to my bf's home since the problem solved.<br />
<br />
After that, my bf ask me if I'm okay to go to the doctor first before driving me home. I agreed since it wouldn't take much time. There, my bf put my laptop in the back seat, behind the driver's seat. I didn't bring anything when I went to the clinic. I even left my purse at the car <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">(</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">DON'T DO THIS! NEVER LEAVE YOUR PURSE AT CAR!)</span> then when I'm waiting, i saw some men strolling around at the parking lot. near my bf's car. I don't take any attention there. I just saw it and that's all, i don't even feel suspicious. I just think those men are going to see the doctor too, but they AREN'T eventually.<br />
After my bf finished, we went back to the car, we didn't see anything wrong until my bf felt something bothering him. Since it's like 7 pm, we can't see anything clear, we thought that there was a car sun-shade behind his head but as he reached it he was surprised because that is shards of window glass behind him. and yes, SOMEONE IS DESTROYING THE WINDOW! we got panicked. there's a car behind and we asked the driver if he saw someone there near the car but he say he didn't.<br />

<br />
We din't think someone is taking something from the car. My purse is there, I didn't even remember my laptop at that time because I see my bf's phone is still there at the back seat covered with shattered glass. If that phone was not stolen, what else?<br />
So we rushed back to my bf's home to talk to his dad. As we went home I remembered my LAPTOP! then I cried, since it haven't been used for a year!<br />
So the moral of the story is, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: red;">BE CAREFUL, ALWAYS BRING YOUR BELONGINGS ANYWHERE ON YOUR REACH,YOU CAN BE ROBBED AT LITERALLY, ANYWHERE!</span><br />

By the way, if you're wondering, I'm using my mom's super old laptop (HP compaq nx9040) until i can find a new one. Maybe I need to use netbook instead my 14" notebook so it can fit on my bag. GAH! I miss my Sims, I miss all my magazine designs, I miss all my projects. This is so frustating, wondering where my laptop now, maybe someone already sell it on Kaskus or Tokobagus or maybe worse, at Glodok :(<br />

This is what I called as instant love. the first time i saw this M/V i was really amazed. I love all the clothes that GD wears, I love the vintage effect on the video, I definitely love the set, I love the angle of the video taken, I love the music, I love the way GD sings. This M/V just done wonderfully. Unlike his dΓ©but song which is "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJnICByeL8Q&feature=relmfu" target="_blank">One of a Kind</a>" that I need to hear 2-3 times to make it grow on me. This is something that I don't expect on his solo album. His dΓ©but song was a hip-hop rap song and I thought that it is how he sets the tone of his album, but boy I'm wrong. Can't wait to see what are GD wearing on<a href="http://bigbangswaq.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"> bigbangswag</a> Anyway, enjoy! </div>

hey all. I'm back to this old, dusty, blog. sorry for neglecting this blog since my last post. I am really super messed up with these so-called-college-stuff. my final exams, assignments, my upcoming internship semester, my thesis title and all that grown up stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
at this point of my college year, i feel kinda old. finally I am now in my 7Th semester, soon encountering graduation. finally i will working, but i don't want to lose those fun-times at college either. tough choice. i don't want to waste any more years at my college either, so it's been a hard time to face this forced grow-up-phase.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
any advice? because i feel lost. i don't know if i want to move forward or stuck at this point.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I'm back to Yogyakarta for few days to attend a gala dinner. here are the recaps, click to enlarge.</div>

Hello! now i would like to talk to you about Taman Pintar which located on Jalan Panembahan Senopati no 1-3, or you can simply visit their website <a href="http://www.tamanpintar.com/" target="_blank">here </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Taman Pintar is a place where you can study about.. pretty much everything that you have learned from school but in a practical and fun way. it is similar to <a href="http://www.tamanmini.com/wisata/WSarana/315438643224/Pusat-Peragaan--Ilmu-Pengetahuan-dan-Teknologi" target="_blank">PP IPTEK</a> on Taman Mini Indonesia Indah in Jakarta but this is wayyy better than PP IPTEK. i thought this is like a small building from outside but don't get it wrong, this building is super big! man.. i got exhausted walking inside this building, don't forget to bring mineral water. and if you talk about facilities, this building got everything you need. Park? yes. Restroom?yes. Cafeteria?yes.3D theater? yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
oh, it cost you 15.000 rupiahs to have a fun trip.excluding the 3D theater ticket.</div>

So the ticket man says that i should begin my trip on Memorabilia building which you can learn about Indonesia, politics and history of Indonesian Independence. and sorry i don't have any pictures there because i have seen that Indonesian Independence history the day before, when i was visiting Vredeburg Bastille so i just look around and move to other building. The most interesting thing about museums in Yogyakarta is.. equipped with technology! wow! Museums in Jakarta are mostly boring but in Yogyakarta, both in Taman Pintar and Vredeburg Bastille has touch screen television to tell about the story, so you can learning both with audio and visual. so much fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the building somehow designed to provide the direction you should take so you can enjoy your learning on the right path which is really helpful. there are sooo many areas in this building i can't even remember all of them.</div>

i can't remember what the name of that game but the game is like you doing rafting. this console is really over the top, if its compared to other game console such as nitendo wii or play station, because you don't need any joystick to play, you just need your body to move. a really fun exercise console indeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so that's probably the highlights of Taman Pintar. there are soo many areas in this building and if i put all my pohtos here, this post would be a super long post. if you like these kind of learning, you should visit this place. see you on the next post! :)</div>

So i just got back from my 'vay-kay' at Yogyakarta. so much fun :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
i went to Yogyakarta Palace, Rumah Pintar, Vredeburg Bastille, and Tamansari. i will post about those places on different posts, so stay tuned!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
now, i wanted to talk about Tamansari first. Tamansari is a place where Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono (The King of Yogyakarta Palace) bath with his concubines. it was abandoned for years but then it has been restored for tourism use. the architecture was amazing. the guide told me that it was designed by a Portuguese (or Netherlander? sorry i forgot)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That bath was divided into several places, like the king's bath, concubines bath, sauna, changing room and even a place where the king take a peek into the concubines bath.pervert.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so, without more blabbering..</div>

I always love seeing and walking on a road like this picture up there. narrow street between high walls, where you can feel the "palace atmosphere" like you're traveling back to the past.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and if you got a tour guide with you, you will be able to see other place in this area which is<span style="color: orange;"> the water castle </span>where there's a hidden mosque. the hidden mosque located underground and surrounded by water and has secret gates which used by Sultan to do a prayer without the Netherlanders knowing it. yes, it was built during the colonialism era.</div>

So it is basically a 2 floored underground mosque. I admit that this building shows that people back then are smart, i mean they can build this kind of building at that age. This mosque is really unique because the main area for the prayer is in a round shape, like a dome. so the 1st floor is for the women area and the 2nd floor (which i don't have any picture of it) is for the men. what i think is weird is both men and women has their own 'imam'. so both floors has their own 'imam' area.the most unique architecture in this place was the 5 stairs which represents the 5 pillars of Islam.</div>

There are a lot of things happened in my life recently, unfortunately it is bad things that happens. i really regret on those "bad things" that happens and i admit my fault. but ever since i tried to move on from that, i feel like it's holding me back again and again, and at this point i feel like i can't seem to reach what i strive for. i feel like i've been punished by God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
maybe i really should take a step back from this "thing" for a while and sees how my life have been doing, not that i don't want to move on but it is better to correct the wrongdoings before you move on right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
maybe i should be grateful for what i have right now, and don't be too greedy. take it one at a time and see how it goes</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So,nothing can beats this awesomeness of bigbang's comeback. yes, finally!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
this comeback is really impressive, because since their MV's coming out on February 21st, it is already viewed 3.000.000 times and until today i'm writing this post, it's already viewed 8.670.787 times and indeed, this MV got gold medal for becoming trending on Youtube.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been anticipating for this comeback. I even cheated to Jay Park songs for a while because i can't seem to find a nice K-Pop song since the end of last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just so you know, TOP dyed his hair Blue! or i'll say Turquoise? i don't know but whatever he does, he's hot <3 </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so here goes, bigbang's first MV "Blue", some other spoiler of other song on their mini album "Alive"</div>
