ENGLISHFinally, today I get back to Yogyakarta, hahaha... . This morning I caught Argo Wilis Express which departed at 7 AM. Anyway, trains now are getting slower!! Damn!! They don't get any better!! :( Usually Argo Wilis Express arrived at about 1.45 PM at Yogyakarta but today it arrived at 2.20 PM! :(Anyway, as I already said at this previous entry, I got a very interesting offer. In fact, up until now I have got THREE very interesting offers!! hahaha... ;) I think I gotta let 2 of them go tho due to scheduling problem.First Offer: I got an offer to join Asian Science Camp at Bali this August. I just need to pay for the transport fee and that's it. All the accommodation there (5 stars hotel for one week, meals, etc) are paid by the officials!! hahaha... ;) That's super interesting right?? Eventho the program is all about Physics (and I actually a bit am not really in to it) but I'm still interested since of course math is still gonnabe used, hahaha. Beside, all people all over Asia will be there. However, there is one big problem. The program will be held from 3rd August to 9th August while from 3rd to 5th August, I gotta go on a 'Programs Meeting' for the Student Union this period. Damn. hmmmm....Second Offer: Yesterday I got an offer to TEACH at campus next semester. Wuaaa!! That's so exciting!! hahaha... . Well, of course it was not gonnabe the main classes but Assistance Classes (extra compulsory classes for the exercises about the materials). Hmmm!!! At first I hesitated since next semester my schedule is gonnabe full. But I think I can't miss this one. This one is too big (and too good) to be missed! So this evening I called my lecture saying I'm ready for that. However, apparently there is a requirement that I have to have completed at least 100 credits while up to now I have only completed 87 credits. Hmmm, okay, so I probably will start teaching the next next semester, hahaha... . (that's even great since my schedule next semester is gonnabe so full).Third Offer: I can't say anything about it yet... ;)hahaha....

BAHASA INDONESIAAkhirnya hari ini aku balik ke Yogyakarta neh, hahaha... . Pagi tadi aku naik Kereta Api Ekspres Argo Wilis yang berangkat jam 7 pagi. Ngomong2, kereta sekarang makin lelet sih, payah!! Mereka nggak tambah oke malah tambah payah!! :( Biasanya Argo Wilis udah nyampe Jogja jam 1.45an eh tadi baru nyampe jam 2.20 siang! :( Ngomong2, seperti yang pernah aku tulis di posting lalu ini, aku mendapat sebuah penawaran sangat menarik. Malah kenyataannya, sampe sekarang aku udah mendapat TIGA tawaran sangat menarik!! hahaha... ;) Sayangnya karena masalah jadwal, aku mesti menolak 2 di antaranya deh. Tawaran Pertama: Aku dapat tawaran untuk ikutan Asian Science Camp di Bali Agustus ini. Aku cuma harus membayar biaya transport-nya doang dan itu aja. Semua biaya akomodasi (hotel bintang 5 selama seminggu, makan, dll) udah ditanggung sama panitia!! hahaha... ;) Benar2 menarik kan?? Walau program ini intinya tentang Fisika (dan aku sejujurnya agak nggak terlalu 'in' ke bidang ini) tapi ya aku tetap tertarik banget soalnya tetap aja kan masih akan ada matematikanya, hahaha. Di samping itu, semua orang dari Asia juga akan hadir disana. Namun, ada satu masalah besar. Acara ini akan diadakan dari tanggal 3 Agustus sampe 9 Agustus padahal dari tanggal 3 Agustus sampe 5 Agustus aku ada 'Rapat Kerja' neh untuk Himpunan periode ini. Sial. hmmmm....Tawaran Kedua: Kemarin aku dapat tawaran untuk MENGAJAR di kampus semester depan. Wuaaa!!! Menarik sekali dah!! hahaha... . Hmm, tentu saja aku nggak akan ngajar kelas utamanya tapi akan mengajar Kelas Responsi (kelas tambahan wajib untuk latihan gitu deh tentang materi-nya). Hmmm!! Pertamanya aku ragu lho soale semester depan jadwalku akan padat. Namun aku pikir2 lagi kayanya aku nggak boleh melewatkan kesempatan ini deh. Kesempatan ini terlalu besar (dan bagus) untuk dilewatkan! Jadi sore tadi aku telpon dosen saya dan ngomong aku siap. Eh ternyata ada persyaratan harus udah lulus 100 sks padahal aku sampe kemarin baru udah ambil 87 sks. Hmmm, ya udah deh nggak papa paling baru mulai ngajar semester depan nya lagi, hahaha.... . (malah bagus tu soalnya jadwal semester besok kan penuh). Tawaran Ketiga: Masih belum bisa aku tulis nih... ;)hahaha....

ENGLISHNow we are in the middle of Peak Season in Indonesia since now we have school break. So many people enjoy their holiday by going out to another city(ies). Therefore it's really hard to get any ticket (plane, train, etc) if we buy pretty close to the D-Day. Well, last week I went back to Bandung to accompany my bro cs to spend their 4 days holiday in Bandung. They went back to Yogyakarta last Monday and because they already knew the date they could buy the tickets days before and it was still available by the time they bought the tickets.However, since I also have many stuffs to deal with in Bandung so when they bought the tickets I told them not to buy me one since it's really likely that I would still stay in Bandung when they went back to Yogyakarta. It was true, I really have had so many things to deal with this week (I also got some VERY interesting offers, haha... :D For now I can't write them down here yet since I haven't got the complete information yet). I then got a date where I could actually go back to Yogyakarta, which is TODAY. Damn Peak Season, all train tickets for this week had been sold out since last Monday (when I still had no exact date to go back home). I get Argo Wilis Ticket available now only on Tuesday, shoot. Okay, I had no other option and I took it... :( Yesterday morning I browsed Mandala's web and found one not so expensive ticket from Jakarta to Yogyakarta next Sunday. I hesitated at first and left it for 3 hours and when I came back it had been taken!! DAMN!! :( Okay, so I'm gonna back to Jogja next Tuesday, hmmm...BAHASA INDONESIASekarang kita ada di tengah Musim Padat di Indonesia soalnya kan lagi liburan sekolah. Jadi banyak orang yang menikmati liburan dengan pergi ke luar kota. Makanya sekarang sih susah banget untuk dapat tiket (pesawat, kereta, dll) jika kita beli nya deket-deket ke Hari-H. Hmm, minggu lalu aku balik ke Bandung untuk nemeni adikku dkk ke Bandung untuk liburan selama 4 hari di Bandung. Mereka balik ke Yogyakarta hari Senin kemarin dan karenanya mereka uda tau tanggalnya dan bisa beli tiketnya jauh-jauh hari makanya waktu mereka bali tiketnya masih ada. Namun, karena aku harus mengurus banyak hal ni di Bandung makanya waktu mereka beli tiket aku bilang jangan beliin dulu buat aku soalnya kan hampir pasti aku akan tinggal dulu di Bandung waktu mereka balik ke Yogyakarta. Bener aja kan, aku ada banyak hal yang harus diurus di Bandung minggu ini (aku juga dapat beberapa tawaran yang SANGAT menarik loh, haha... :D Tapi sekarang aku masih belum bisa menulisnya disini soalnya aku belum mendapat informasi yang lengkap dulu nih). Aku trus akhirnya dapat tanggal kapan aku bisa balik ke Yogyakarta, yaitu HARI INI. Peak Season Sialan, semua tiket kereta minggu ini udah habis neh sejak hari Senin kemarin (ketika aku tahu tanggal pasti kapan aku akan balik). Aku mendapat Tiket Argo Wilis untuk hari Selasa neh, sialan. Oke, aku nggak memiliki pilihan lain dan mengambilnya... :( Kemarin pagi aku ngecek web nya Mandala dan aku menemukan tiket yang nggak terlalu mahal untuk Jakarta ke Yogyakarta besok Minggu. Aku ragu2 awalnya dan meninggalkannya selama 3 jam dan waktu aku balik udah diambil!! SIALAN!! :( Ya uda de aku baru bisa balik ke Yogyakarta hari Selasa besok, hmmm...
ENGLISHWell, for me this week is a really busy one. Lemme continue my Monday Story first, hahaha...Monday afternoon at 12.15 PM my bro cs checked out the hotel. We then continued our plan which was having lunch at Kampung Daun Resto. It's pretty far from Bandung. We arrived there at about 1 PM and ordered our meal. It is quite expensive and the food is not that special, but the place is beautiful, hehehe... . At 2.30 PM we left Kampung Daun and went to Paris Van Java (they didn't find what they were looking for the day before). At PVJ I also bought new sandals since my old one are now aging. Then at 4.30 PM we left PVJ and went to Kartika Sari Dago to buy some gifts. After that we had dinner at a Sundanese Restaurant (Resep Dapurku (translate: "My Kitchen's Recipe")). At 7 PM I brought them to the Railway Station and their vacation in Bandung (and Jakarta) for 4 days was officially over. At 7.30 PM I went back home (their train departed at 8 PM (Night Lodaya Express)).Well, these Tuesday and Wednesday I have been pretty busy at my campus. Well, organizing three upcoming events at one time is really really exhausting!! hahaha... :) I gotta supervise people, encourage them, solve and anticipate problems, do my own tasks, negotiate, etc. Haaahh!!!Plus, since I felt there was something wrong with my car but I didn't know what was wrong, so yesterday afternoon I brought my car to the autoshop. Yea, there were some errors on some parts of the car and yesterday they were all fixed. I should check my car in the next three days. If nothing bad happens then it's fine... :) I will also replace my old broken CD Player on my car. I plan to change it with the new one, not a CD player but a device which can play mp3s, have USB ports, MMC ports, capable of mp4, and a DVD Player (but no screen since it's so expensive, LOL). I'm gonna get that probably 2 weeks ahead...Tomorrow I'm gonna have a meeting with General Consulate of Republic Indonesia in New York and some heads of American Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and also some businessmen and investors from New York. Hahaha, of course this is an event I will never miss, LOL (who knows people who attend the meeting will get free trip to New York, LOL (dreaming mode: on)).Anyway, yeaaah, in some minutes Star World is gonna start airing the sixth season of The Apprentice: The Apprentice LA. Hahaha... . I'm so excited!!

Senin siang jam 12.15 siang gitu adikku dkk check out dari hotel. Kita kemudian melanjutkan rencana yaitu makan siang di Resto Kampung Daun. Lumayan jauh sih dari Bandung. Kita sampai disana jam 1 siang dan pesen makanan kita deh. Harganya lumayan mahal dan makanannya menurutku biasa aja, tapi suasananya sih lumayan lho, hehehe... . Jam 2.30 siang kita meninggalkan Kampung Daun dan pergi ke Paris Van Java (sehari sebelumnya waktu mereka kesana mereka nggak nemu barang yang mereka cari). Di PVJ aku malah ikutan beli sandal dah soalnya yang lama juga udah tua banget sih, hahaha... . Trus jam 4.30 sore kita meninggalkan PVJ dan pergi ke Kartika Sari Dago soalnya mereka mau beli oleh2. Habis itu kita makan malam di Restoran Sunda (Resep Dapurku). Jam 7 malam aku nganter mereka ke stasiun dan resmilah liburan mereka ke Bandung (dan Jakarta) selama 4 hari berakhir. Jam 7.30 malam aku balik dah (kereta mereka berangkatnya jam 8 malam (naik Lodaya Malam)). Hmm, Selasa dan Rabu ini bener2 melelahkan neh untuk saya di kampus. Hmm, mengerjakan tiga acara yang akan datang bersamaan tu bener2 melelahkan dah!! hahaha... :) Aku harus mengawasi kerjaan orang, menyemangati mereka, mengatasi dan mengantisipasi masalah yang ada, mengerjakan tugasku sendiri, negosiasi, dll. Haaahh!!! Plus, karena aku rasa ada yang salah ni sama mobilku tapi aku nggak tau deh error-nya dimana, makanya kemarin siang aku membawa mobilku ke bengkel. Yea, ada beberapa yang rusak dan harus diganti tuh dan sekarang sih sudah dibenerin. Aku masih perlu memerhatikan mobilku selama 3 hari nih. Kalo nggak ada yang terjadi berarti baik-baik saja... :) Aku juga akan mengganti CD Player rusak di mobilku ah. Aku mau mengganti dengan yang baru, bukan dengan CD player tapi dengan sebuah alat yang bisa mainin mp3, memiliki colokan USB, colokan MMC, bisa mainin mp4, dan ada DVD Player nya juga loh (tapi belum punya TV nya neh, mahal uy, LOL). Mungkin aku akan dapat barangnya 2 minggu lagi... Besok aku akan ada rapat neh sama Konsulat Jenderal Republik Indonesia di New York dan beberapa pimpinan dari American Indonesia Chamber of Commerce dan juga beberapa pengusaha dan investor dari New York. Hahaha, tentu saja ini kesempatan yang nggak akan aku lewatkan, LOL (sapa tau kan orang yang datang di rapat besok akan dibayarin untuk jalan2 ke New York, LOL (lagi ngimpi ceritanya)).
Ngomong2, yeaaah, dalam beberapa menit Star World akan menayangkan musim keenam dari The Apprentice: The Apprentice LA. Hahaha... . Seneng bgt neh!!
ENGLISHSo, as you can read at my previous entry, yesterday (Sunday) I went to Jakarta with my bro cs. Originally, we planned to depart at about 9 AM. Okay, then at 9.15 AM I arrived at their hotel and they were still not ready, hahaha... . Finally we departed at 10.40 AM. The Bandung - Jakarta highway was just as usual, not really crowded. However, as we approached Pondok Gede Timur Tollgate, suddenly it became so crowded. Damn!! We were trapped for about 30 minutes there moving only about 1.5 km. At 1 PM we arrived at Grand Indonesia Mall. It was my second time going there, the first time was at this time with my friends. Well, we just hung out there, walking around. Since we were hungry we ate at a Korean Restaurant. It was damn so expensive!! Arrrgghhh... . The taste was pretty good actually but the price was not worthed, hahaha... . At first we planned to have another meal at the food court but since the food court was so damn full and crowded we canceled that plan. Then, we watched the fountain show. It was still the same show (even the songs) as I watched before. After the show was finished, we left Grand Indonesia and went to Pacific Place.Pacific Place is not really far away from Grand Indonesia. We arrived there about 25 minutes later. Pacific Place is also a great mall, hahaha, it was my first time stepping my feet there. Well, then we had meal at Fish & Co there. I ordered a Rp 65,000.oo Fish and Chips. It tasted really good!! hahaha... . Even the price is a bit high, but I think it's kinda worthed. Then we had a plan to watch a movie at Pacific Place's Blitz Megaplex. However, the only possible movie to watch was "Sex And The City" and of course we didn't execute the plan, LOL. Guess what?? Then they had another plan: "going to PVJ Bandung!!". What!?!?!? Well, okay, I agreed with them but I said I would only drop them off since I was soo exhausted driving all day long Bandung - Jakarta - Bandung, hahaha... . Okay, so that's what we did and at 5.30 PM we went back to Bandung. At 7.30 PM we arrived at Bandung (the highway was crowded at some points, damn!!). Wimbledon 2008Well, later on that night, I watched the Gentlemen's Finale of Wimbledon 2008 between Roger Federer (SUI, world number 1) and Rafael Nadal (ESP, world number 2). It first appeared that seemingly Nadal would win the match easily after winning the first 2 sets 6 - 4; 6 - 4. But then, the match turned dramatically to one of the bestest matched I have ever seen!! Federer proved why he is world number 1. Starting on the third game, the match was really neck to neck causing a tie break. Federer won the tie break by 7 - 5. The third game was Federer's. The fourth game was no different. It was also a great match ended with another tie break. Federer again owned this match after winning the tie break by 10 - 8. The score was 2 - 2 now and the final set must be played. After the score was 2 - 2 and Deuce (40 - 40), a rain suspended the match, hahaha... :) The last set was also an intense and great set. They both played super-greatly. Unfortunately in the 15th game (the score was 7 - 7 and Federer served) Federer made some mistakes causing Nadal stole a point from him. On the 16th game, Nadal won the match!! Wow!! Congratz Nadal!!Honestly at first I rooted for Federer to create a world record by winning Wimbledon 6 times consecutively. But watching the match, well, it was so intense and Nadal is also a great player!! hahaha... . It really was one of the bestest match I have ever seen!!O yea, it was so obvious that Nadal was so joyful that he sobbed a bit. It was also obvious that Federer looked really really disappointed. Yea, of course, with that close match, it must have been depressing to lose, but that was a match!! HmmmAnyway, on the Ladies Double, Serena Williams and Venus Williams won the final match!! Wow. They won the Ladies Double and they were both on the final of Ladies Single!! Wah!! Great Job!! hahaha...note: because of the length of this entry I gotta change my original plan. At first my story today (Monday) was planned to also be written here but then I decided to make it as another entry that will be posted later. Hehehe...

Awalnya sih rencananya kita mau berangkat jam 9 pagi. Oke, aku sampe di hotel mereka jam 9.15 pagi dan mereka masih belum siap, hahaha... . Akhirnya baru berangkatnya jam 10.40 pagi deh. Jalan tol Bandung - Jakarta ya kemarin kaya biasanya deh, nggak terlalu rame. Namun, begitu mendekati Gerbang Tol Pondok Gede Timur mulai deh jadi macet banget. Sial!! Kita terjebak macet selama sekitar 30 menit dan cuma gerak sekitar 1,5 km. Jam 1 siang kita sampai di Mall Grand Indonesia. Kemarin kali kedua deh aku kesana, kali pertama adalah pada waktu ini sama temen2ku. Hmm, ya kita jalan2 aja deh disana. Karena lapar kita makan di sebuah Restoran Korea. Harganya ternyata mahal banget!!! Arrrgghhh... . Rasanya sebenernya lumayan enak sih cuma harganya itu lho yang nggak sebanding, hahaha... . Pertamanya kita berencana mau makan lagi di food court nya namun karena food court nya lagi penuh buangett ya udah deh nggak jadi makan. Trus, kita nonton pertunjukan Air Mancur. Pertunjukannya masih sama aja kaya yang aku tonton sebelumnya sih (termasuk lagu2nya). Setelah show-nya selesai, kita meninggalkan Grand Indonesia dan menuju ke Pacific Place. Pacific Place kan nggak jauh2 amat dari Grand Indonesia. Kita tiba disana sekitar 25 menit kemudian. Pacific Place juga bagus yah mall-nya, hahaha, pertama kalinya tuh aku menginjakkan kakiku disana. Hmm, kemudian kita makan di Fish & Co disana. Aku memesan Fish and Chips seharga Rp 65.000,oo. Rasanya enak banget loh!! hahaha... . Walau harganya lumayan tinggi juga tapi kan sebanding tuh sama rasanya. Kemudian kita berencana mau nonton di Blitz Megaplex yang di Pacific Place. Namun ternyata, satu2nya film yang memungkinkan untuk ditonton adalah "Sex And The City" dan tentu saja kita nggak jadi nonton dah, LOL. Dan bagaimana?? Mereka memiliki rencana lain: "pergi ke PVJ Bandung aja!!". Apa!?!?!? Hmm, oke aja sih, aku setuju sama mereka tapi aku ya bilang aku paling cuma nge-drop mereka di PVJ soalnya aku kan cuapeeekk banget dah nyetir seharian dari Bandung - Jakarta - Bandung, hahaha... . Oke, jadi itulah yang kami lakukan dan jam 5.30 sore kita balik ke Bandung. Jam 7.30 malem kita sampai di Bandung (jalan tol nya rame ey di beberapa tempat, siyal!!). Wimbledon 2008Hmm, kemudian malamnya, aku nonton Babak Final Pria dari Wimbledon 2008 yang mempertemukan Roger Federer (SUI, peringkat 1 dunia) dengan Rafael Nadal (ESP, peringkat 2 dunia). Pertamanya kelihatannya Nadal akan menang dengan mudah tuh setelah memenangkan 2 set pertama dengan skor 6 - 4; 6 - 4. Namun kemudian, pertandingan berubah dramatis menjadi salah satu pertandingan paling kueerrreeennn banget yang pernah aku tonton!! Federer membuktikan mengapa dia itu peringkat 1 dunia. Mulai babak ketiga, pertandingan menjadi benar-benar ketat sekali dan menghasilkan tie break. Federer memenangkan tie break dengan skor 7 - 5. Babak ketiga menjadi milik Federer. Babak keempat juga nggak berbeda jauh. Babak itu juga merupakan suatu babak keren abizz dan berakhir dengan tie break lagi. Federer kembali memenangkan babak dengan memenangkan tie break dengan skor 10 - 8. Skornya kini 2 - 2 dan babak terakhir harus dimainkan. Setelah skor-nya jadi 2 - 2 juga dan Deuce (40 - 40) eh hujan turun lagi menunda pertandingannya, hahaha... :) Babak terakhir juga keren banget tuh. Mereka berdua main dengan sangat baik sekali. Sayangnya, di game ke 15 (Federer yang serve) dia membuat beberapa kesalahan sehingga Nadal berhasil merebut game itu. Di game ke 16 akhirnya Nadal deh yang menang!! Wow!! Selamat Nadal!! Jujur nih pertamanya aku dukung Federer deh biar dia mencetak rekor dunia dengan memenangkan Wimbledon 6 kali berturut-turut. Namun menonton pertandingan kemarin, hmmm, benar-benar ketat dan Nadal juga pemain yang hebat banget!! hahaha... . Bener-bener salah satu pertandingan terkereeennnnn yang pernah aku tonton dah!! O iya, kelihatan jelas banget dah Nadal begitu gembira dan sampe nangis terharu loh. Terlihat jelas pula kalau Federer kelihatan sangaaattt kecewa banget. Ya, tentu saja sih, setelah pertandingan seru banget itu, tentu saja akan sangat menyakitkan untuk kalah, tapi ya itu lah pertandingan!! Hmmm Ngomong2, di Double Wanita, Serena Williams dan Venus Williams memenangkan babak final nya!! Wow. Mereka memenangkan Double Wanita dan mereka semua ada di final Single Wanita!! Wah!! hebat banget dah!! hahaha...catatan: karena panjangnya postingan ini maka aku harus mengganti rencana awalku. Pertamanya ceritaku hari ini (Senin) juga akan ditulis jadi satu sama posting ini, namun kemudian aku memutuskan untuk menuliskannya di posting selanjutnya aja deh. Hehehe...
ENGLISHWell, these both two days have been exhausting, hahaha... ;) To summarize what happened so none of you will be confused, now my bro and his friends are in Bandung having a mid year vacation. Thursday evening we arrived at Bandung. As planned before, we had dinner at Paskal Hyper Square Bandung. It was so chilly, as predicted, hahaha... :) At around 10 PM we went back home (they went to their hotel) since we had been exhausted. Friday morning till afternoon they had their own schedule since I was also busy with mine. I had something to do on my campus and I gotta take care of it (eventho it still hasn't been done by now, damn!!). Friday evening, we went to The Sierra at Dago Pakar. The last time I had dinner there was this time, about 1 year 8 months ago, hahaha.... . I ate Hungarian Something Soup and Beef Ranchero Australian T-Bone Steak. Of course, twas pretty high-class (read: expensive, LOL). Saturday (today) was also pretty tiring. In the morning we had breakfast at Nasi Hainam Restaurant at Jalan Kelenteng. Of course, twas delicious but pretty expensive, Rp 22,000.oo per portion, damn!! Then they had a plan to go to Jalan Riau to go to some Factory Outlets there. Of course I was too lazy to walk from one FO to another. So I decided to bring them there and brought myself to a cafe where I used to go before I connected my boarding house room with internet. Yea, I browsed the net using hotspot connection on a cafe while they were going from one FO to another, hahaha... ;) At 1.30 PM we went back home. At 5 PM we went to Paris Van Java Mall. We just hung out there and had dinner at Ta Wan Restaurant (well, no pics, sorry, hehehe... :D). Then, we watched a new movie, Hancock. Review will be written later on since now I'm too tired, hahaha... :) But it was pretty funny eventho I'm not really impressed. Score: 3 out of 5. At 10.30 PM we went back home.Anyway, tomorrow (Sunday) I'm going to Jakarta all day long, hahaha... :) Another tiring day... :( Btw, the final of the single games on Wimbledon this year are cool!! Again, Roger Federer will battle against Rafael Nadal tomorrow. On the Ladies Final, we had sisters match, Serena vs Venus Williams!! hahaha... :) I'm so happy, exactly as I hoped (eventho undeniably, Zheng Jie from China played really well this year). Well, Venus won in the end tho. So this year is her fifth Wimbledon's Victory.

Kamis malam kita sampai di Bandung. Seperti rencana, malamnya akhirnya makan malam di Paskal Hyper Square Bandung. Udaranya dingin tuh, sesuai dugaan sih, hahaha... :) Sekitar jam 10 malam balik deh (mereka balik ke hotel) soalnya udah capek sih. Jumat pagi sampe siang mereka ada acara sendiri begitu juga dengan saya. Saya harus mengurus beberapa hal di kampus tuh dan harus diurus segera neh (walau sayangnya sampe sekarang masih belum beres juga, sial!!). Jumat malam kita makan malam di The Sierra, Dago Pakar. Terakhir kali aku makan disana ya waktu ini, sekitar 1 tahun 8 bulan yang lalu, hahaha... . Kemarin aku makan Sup Hungarian apa gitu sama Beef Ranchero Australian T-Bone Steak. Tentu saja tempatnya high-class (baca: mahal). Sabtu (hari ini) juga melelahkan neh. Pagi tadi makan pagi di Restoran Nasi Hainam di Jalan Kelenteng. Tentu saja, rasanya sih enak tapi harganya tu lumayan mahal, Rp 22.000,oo seporsi, siyal!! Trus kan mereka ada rencana mau jalan-jalan di Jalan Riau tu untuk menjelajahi Factory Outlet disana. Tentu saja dong aku malas untuk ikutan jalan dari satu FO ke FO lain. Makanya aku memutuskan untuk nganter mereka kesana dan aku sendiri sih mendingan ke kafe yang sering aku datangi sebelum masang koneksi internet di kos. Yup, aku internetan di kafe hotspot selagi mereka jalan-jalan di FO, hahaha... ;) Jam 1.30 siang kita balik. Jam 5 sore kita pergi ke Paris Van Java Mall. Kita ya jalan-jalan aja sih disana dan makan malam di Restoran Ta Wan (hmm, nggak ada gambar, sorry... :D). Trus kita nonton film, Hancock. Review film ini akan aku tulis kemudian soale sekarang capek banget neh, hahaha... ;) Filmnya cukup lucu sih walau aku nggak sampe terkesima. Nilai: 3 dari 5 dah. Jam 10.30 malem kita balik. Ngomong2, besok (Minggu) aku akan pergi ke Jakarta neh seharian, hahaha... :) Hari yang melelahkan lagi deh... :( Btw, final babak single dari Wimbledon tahun ini keren loh!! Sekali lagi Roger Federer bertemu Rafael Nadal di final besok. Di Final Perempuan, kita memiliki pertandingan antar saudri, Serena vs Wenus Williams!! hahaha... :) Aku senang sih, soalnya sesuai harapan (walau harus diakui Zheng Jie dari China tahun ini mainnya bagus bgt). Hmm, akhirnya yang menang Venus tuh. Jadi ini adalah gelar Wimbledon kelima-nya.
ENGLISHThis Thursday, I went back to Bandung again (only after spending almost one week in Yogyakarta). I don't go to Bandung alone this time but with my brother and his friends. They want to have a vacation in Bandung and I accompany them, hahaha... ;) By request, we didn't catch Argo Wilis Express as usual today but caught Morning Lodaya Express instead which departed earlier. Lodaya Express departed at 9.30 AM from Yogyakarta and it arrived at 5.45 PM today. It was so slow, not an express, damn. Train sucks!! Starting 1st July this year, there has been another rescheduling and it caused trains move even slower than before!! WTF!!! It doesn't get any better (faster, more on time) but slower instead.This weekend probably is gonnabe an exhausting weekend since not only I gotta accompany my brother cs, but also I gotta deal with some stuffs at campus which need to be done pretty quickly, arrrggghhhh....Anyway, yesterday my dad, my bro and me had lunch at Sate Kambing (Goat Satay) warung near Adisucipto Airport. The satay was delicious, hehehe.... :) On the evening my mom and I had dinner at Bakso Kronelan. It was tasty!! hahaha
::: HäagenDazs Ice Cream I ate last Tuesday. Tasty!! :) (Thanks to Sherly so I can type 'ä', LOL)
::: our meal: tongseng kikil, gulai kambing (goat gulai) and sate kambing yesterday afternoon. Plus, the picture of the sateman, LOL
::: Bakso Kronelan I ate yesterday eveningBAHASA INDONESIAKamis ini, aku balik ke Bandung lagi deh (hanya setelah menghabiskan waktu hampir seminggu aja di Yogyakarta). Aku nggak ke Bandung sendirian sih kali ini tapi sama adikku dan teman2nya. Mereka kan ceritanya mau liburan gitu di Bandung dan aku menemani mereka, hahaha... ;) Atas masukan mereka, kita nggak naik Kereta Argo Wilis kaya biasanya dah tadi tapi naik Kereta Ekspres Lodaya yang berangkat lebih dulu dari Yogyakarta. Kereta Lodaya berangkat jam 9.30 pagi dan tiba jam 5.45 sore di Bandung. Lelet banget tu, nggak ekspres, siyal. Kereta Api menyebalkan!! Masa ya mulai 1 Juli tahun ini mereka ada perubahan jadwal dan ini menyebabkan kereta jadi tambah lelet dari sebelumnya!! WTF!! Bukannya tambah baik (cepat, on time) eh malah tambah lelet.Wiken ini kayanya akan melelahkan ni buat saya soalnya nggak cuma harus menemani adikku dkk tapi juga harus ngurus beberapa hal di kampus neh yang mesti dikerjakan segera, arrrggghhhh....Ngomong2, kemarin aku, papaku dan adikku makan siang di warung Sate Kambing deket Bandara Adisucipto. Satenya enak loh, hehehe.... :) Malamnya aku sama mamaku makan di Bakso Kronelan. Enak loh, hahaha
