#330 - TAR, Tuesday, & Bird's Eye Review

ENGLISH

-- The Amazing Race 11 --

Well, the latest episode of The Amazing Race 11 was probably one of the best episode ever. Why?? Here is why: Oswald&Danny (OD) were running out of money and finished the previous leg with 0 dollar. So, they started last leg with the minimum fund. There was a Yield and they still could Yield (if they wanted to). Dustin&Kandice (DK) had yielded Eric&Danielle (ED) in Malaysia and they had lost their yield power. Surprisingly, OD offered a transaction with DK: if DK gave OD some money, OD would yield anybody DK wanted to. Well, DK accepted that offer and gave OD 45 bucks and asked OD to yield ED.

RIGHT AFTER THAT
, OD were always unlucky. They got a non-English Speaker cab driver, they got lost otw to the Detour Task, they got lost on The Detour Task, and they got lost once again otw to the pitstop, causing them became the last team to arrive at the pitstop even if ED had been yielded and 30 mins penalty on them. Lucky, twas a NEL. The final placing: DK, Charla&Mirna, ED, and OD.

Mirna was a bit disappointed since she pointed that dealing with DK for some money was just like making a deal with the devil. Apparently, more or less, that was right. If OD asked Charla&Mirna, they would have given them some.

-- Tuesday Story --

Btw, yesterday was a very exhausting day for me. I got lectures from 7 AM till 2 PM (and a LOGIC QUIZ and I didn't study for it before... :( ). Then, it was raining so hardly at 2 PM> After walking through the storm rain, I finally got back at my boarding house. Then, I called Garuda Indonesia to make a reservation for my plane ticket back home next month (I reserve one month before so I could get the cheapest fare of Jakarta - Yogyakarta flight). Apparently, the cheapest fare was only avaliable at GA 214 (departing at 17.50) and GA 216 (20.00) on Saturday 26th May, and GA 202 (6.00) and GA 204 (8.30) on Sunday 27th May. All cheapest fare on other flights those days have been booked. Okay, so I had no other choice than choosing the GA 214 flight.

Then, I had to take my ticket at Garuda's office. Well, I had never been to Garuda's office in Bandung before and had no idea where that was. According to the Garuda Inflight Magazine, I got the address. I then tried to find it, and guess what?? It took me 1.5 hours just to find the office!! (because twas far, raining, there was a flood, traffic jam, didn't know where that was, etc) Arrrrgggghhhhh.... . I got lost several times. I actually passed the office 2 or 3 times but I didn't notice it since the Garuda Indonesia's Board was unseen from the one-way road... :( :( The good news was that now I know where the office is, he3... :) I then pay the ticket and officially, I'm going back to Yogyakarta via Jakarta next May 26th catching Garuda Indonesia's flight GA 214.

Why don't I catch train anymore?? I'll write it later... :)

Then, I went to a hotspot cafe, finishing my work and assignment, then I went back home. It was not finished yet, I had to finish my homework.... :( Arrrggghhh

-- The Amazing Race 11 --

Hmm, episode terbaru dari The Amazing Race 11 mungkin merupakan episode terbaik loh. Kenapa?? Ini dia kenapa: Oswald&Danny (OD) kehabisan uang dan menyelesaikan babak sebelumnya dengan uang tersisa 0 dollar. Jadi, mereka memulai babak kemarin dengan jumlah uang minimal. Bakalan ada Yield dan mereka masih bisa menge-yield orang lain (kalo mereka mau). Dustin&Kandice (DK) sudah menge-yield Eric&Danielle (ED) di Malaysia dan sudah kehilangan kekuatan yield mereka. Secara mengejutkan, OD menawarkan transaksi ke DK: kalo DK ngasi mereka duit, OD akan menge-yield siapapun yang DK mau. DK trus setuju dong dan ngasi mereka 45 dollat dan nyuruh OD untuk menge-yield ED.

TEPAT HABIS ITU
, OD selalu sial. Mereka dapet sopir taksi yang ga bisa Bahasa Inggris, mereka kesasar dalam perjalanan ke tempat Detour, mereka kesasar di tugas Detour, dan kesasar lagi dalam perjalanan ke pitstop, yang menyebabkan mereka menjadi tim yg terakhir nyampe di pitstop walaupun ED sudah di-yield dan menerima 30 menit penalti. Untungnya, NEL tuh kemarin. Urutan akhirnya: DK, Charla&Mirna, ED, dan OD.

Mirna agak kecewa dan dia menekankan bahwa bertransaksi dengan DK untuk sejumlah uang tu kaya bertransaksi sama setan. Tenryata, lebih kurang, bener juga loh. Klo OD minta ke Charla&Mirna, mereka sudah akan membantu tuh.

-- Cerita Selasa --

Btw, kemarin hari yang sangat melelahkan buat saya. Kuliah dari jam 7 pagi sampe jam 2 siang (dan sebuah KUIS LOGIKA dan aku ga blajar sebelumnya... :( ). Trus, hujan deres buanget deh mulai jam 2 siang. Habis berjalan menembus badai hujan deres, akhirnya nyampe juga di kos. Trus, aku menelepon Garuda Indonesia untuk mesen tiket pesawat balik ke Jogja bulan depan (aku pesen sebulan sebelumnya biar dapet tiket yang paling murah dari penerbangan Jakarta - Yogyakarta). Ternyata, tiket murah tinggal tersisa di penerbangan GA 214 (berangkat jam 17.50) dan GA 216 (20.00) di hari Sabtu, 26 Mei, dan GA 202 (jam 6) dan GA 204 (jam 8.30) di hari Minggu, 27 Mei. Semua tiket murah di penerbangan lainnya udah dipesen. Oke, jadinya gada pilihan lain selain milih GA 214.

Trus, aku musti ngambil tiketnya di kantornya Garuda. Hmm, aku blon pernah ke kantornya Garuda sebelumnya dan bener2 gatau dimana tuh kantor. Berdasarkan majalahnya Garuda, aku dapet deh alamatnya. Aku trus mencoba mencarinya, dan gimana?? Membutuhkan waktu 1,5 jam untuk nemuinnya!! (gara2 jauh, macet, hujan, banjir, gatau dimana tempatnya, dll) Arrrrgggghhhhh.... . Aku kesasar beberapa kali. Sebenere aku ngelewati tu kantor 2 ato 3 kali tapi aku ga sadar soale papannya Garuda Indonesia ga keliatan dari jalan searah... :( :( Berita baiknya sih skarang aku tau dimana kantornya, he3... :) Aku trus bayar tiket dan secara resmi, aku bakalan balik ke Yogyakarta via Jakarta naik Garuda Indonesia penerbangan GA 214 deh.

Kenapa aku ga naik kereta lagi?? Ntar deh aku posting... :)

Trus, aku ke kafe hotspot deh, nyelesaiin tugas-tugasku, trus balik ke kos. Blom selesai, aku musti ngerjain PR... :( Arrrggghhh
