ENGLISHYesterday morning, just following my plan, my parents and I (plus my cousin) went back to Bandung, driving my new car. We departed at 5 AM (actually 4:58 AM) and directly headed to the west. At first, my dad drove the car until Kebumen, then my cousin replaced his place. At 7.30 AM we stopped by a restaurant at Gombong. Its billboard was such a big thing and "called" us to stop by. Okay, then we stopped by there, but you know what?? It was VERY ULTIMATELY DISAPPOINTING!!! The food didn't look so great, the rice was no good. But because I was pretty hungry at that time, I ate there, not very much, but at least I had something in my stomach.... :)We continued our journey. An at 11 AM we arrived at Mergosari Restaurant, just after Wanareja, Central Java. We had lunch there. This restaurant was not disappointing and its food was great. After fulfilling our stomach, we continued our trip. Unfortunately, because yesterday was still holiday where so many people travelled, we had to pass longer road. Usually, we don't need to cross the city Banjar and Tasikmalaya, we could just go on their suburbs area. But yesterday, we had to turn left, went inside the cities and of course, it wasted used more time. (one good thing: now I know Tasikmalaya is a big city, larger than Magelang I think, but Jogja is still larger.... :D). Btw, at Banjar I started driving....Unfortunately, there was an annoying traffic congestion at Nagrek, just 40 km before Bandung. We only moved at the average of speed 5 km/hr I think. Arrrggghhh.... . We were trapped on that traffic jam for almost 1 hour.... :( Therefore, we arrived at Bandung at 5 PM, we took 12 hours!!!! (last August, we only took 8.5 hours as comparison).Btw, yesterday there were so many motorbikers on road (most of them were also "mudikers"). Last night, my parents, my cousin, and I had dinner at The Sierra Cafe, Bandung. Its place was great, located to the north of Bandung, on a hill. I ate Beef Ranchero Australian T-Bone Steak (whatta name!!!). Then, after dropping me back at my boarding house, they went back to their hotel.

BAHASA INDONESIAKemarin pagi, mengikuti rencana saya, orangtuaku dan aku (ditambah koko sepupuku) pergi ke Bandung, nyetir mobilku yg baru. Kita berangkat jam 5 pagi (tepatnya jam 4:58 sih) dan langsung aja menuju ke arah barat. Pertamanya papaku yang nyetir sampe sekitar Kebumen, trus habis itu kokoku yang menggantikan tempatnya. Jam 7.30 kita mampir di sebuah restoran di Gombong. Papan reklamenya gede banget loh, dan "memanggil" kita untuk mampir. Oke, trus kita mampir deh disana. Tapi tebak gimana?? Kemarin tuh BENER-BENER SANGAT MENGECEWAKAN!!! Makanannya nggak kelihatan enak, nasinya nggak bagus. Tapi karena aku dah lumayan laper, aku makan deh disana, nggak banyak2 amat, yang penting paling nggak ada sesuatu di perut saya.... :) Kita melanjutkan perjalanan kita. Jam 11 kita sampai di Restoran Mergosari, hanya setelah Wanareja, Jawa Tengah. Kita makan siang disana. Restoran ini nggak mengecewakan dan makanannya enak loh. Habis mengisi penuh perut kami, kita melanjutkan perjalanan deh. Sayangnya, karena kemarin masih liburan, jadi banyak orang bepergian, dan kita harus melewati jalur yang lebih jauh.Biasanya, kita nggak harus melalui Kota Banjar dan Tasikmalaya, kita biasanya bisa lewat di pinggiran kotanya. Tapi kemarin, kita harus belok ke kiri, dan masuk ke dalam kotanya, dan tentu saja, itu kan membuang memakai lebih banyak waktu. (satu hal yang baik: aku sekarang jadi tahu kalo Tasikmalaya adalah kota yang besar, lebih besar daripada Magelang kayanya, tapi masih besaran Jogja.... :D). Ngomong-ngomong, di Banjar aku mulai nyetir deh....Sayangnya, kemarin ada kemacetan yang menyebalkan sekali di Nagrek, sekitar 40 km sebelum Bandung. Kita cuma berjalan dengan kecepatan rata-rata 5km/jam aku rasa. Arrggghhh.... . Kita terjebak di kemacetan ini hampir selama 1 jam..... :( Makanya, kita sampai di Bandung jam 5 sore, kita memakai waktu 12 jam!!!! (kemarin Agustus kita cuma memakai waktu 8,5 jam sebagai perbandingan).Ngomong2, kemarin ada banyak pengendara motor tuh di jalan (sebagian besar juga pada pemudik tuh). Semalam, ortuku, kokoku, dan aku makan di Cafe The Sierra, Bandung. Tempatnya enak, terletak di utaranya Bandung, di atas bukit gitu. Aku makan Beef Ranchero Australian T-Bone Steak (wow namanya!!!). Trus habis nurunin aku di tempat kosku, mereka balik deh ke hotel.

These last 2 days have been pretty exciting for me. Here is the story:
Thursday
Actually last Wednesday, when I was in my shop, my mom met her high-school friend. They hadn't met each other for almost 20 years. (Apparently his wife bought a bag at Kassaya >> Wakakaka, not really an important info). Then, my mom offered to accompany him, his family and his friends to have lunch at Mang Engking, Godean (so far away from Yogyakarta, but its place is great since it's located in the middle of rice fields (and also prawn breeding ponds)).
Therefore, last Thursday afternoon, my mom and I accompanied her friends to that restaurant. At 2 PM we arrived there, and luckily we got a place (yesterday was holiday and so many people wanted to eat there, there were about 100 cars parking when we arrived there). After having meal, we went back to Yogyakarta and bought some many boxes of bakpia. Then, we went back home
Friday
Since I really wanted to eat at Qua-Li, this evening my mom (she also wanted to walk around there with her friends) and I went to Plaza Ambarrukmo. After parking my car, we directly went to Qua-Li at the third story. Luckily there was an empty table (usually if you're not lucky, you can't eat at Qua-Li since all seats are occupied, especially when it's meal time). I tried some "new" menus there (which I had never had before). I ordered mayonaisse lumpia (my fave), kangkung sambal terasi, kung pao chicken, dry chili fried calamari, and fried pangsit. According to my tongue, all of them are tasty... :)
--commercial break--
Then, I went to Centro (looking for my shop's counter there which has just been open for 12 days >> it's not using the brand Kassaya, but "BVLGARI" counter >> the products we sell there are not as many as we sell at another Kassayas outlets since we only sell Bvlgari, Calvin Klein, Issey Miyake, and Davidoff there (according to the contract with Centro). It's located near Cashier Five
--commercial break ends--
Then, I went to Gramedia (while my mom and her friend went to a saloon), bought a comic. Since my legs were "killing" me, I tried to find a seat (and finally found one at KFC), and sat there reading the comic (of course after buying one glass of coke). Suddenly, my mom called me to meet her in front of Carrefour, and of course I left KFC and directly went to her place. She and her friends were sitting in a shop drinking juice and coffee (which later I found it was FREE since someone between my mom or her friends bought a blender there). Then, we went to Mie Baso to buy meals for tomorrow morning. There, my mom met her friend who owned Roti Boy Jogjakarta (which its stall is next to Mie Baso), and after some talks, which I dunno what, she gave us some breads for FREE... :)

Dua hari belakangan ini ternyata menjadi hari yang lumayan menarik buat saya. Ini dia ceritanya:
Kamis
Sebenernya kemarin Rabu, waktu aku ada di tokoku, mamaku ketemu temen SMA-nya. Mereka dah nggak ketemu hampir 20 tahun loh. (ternyata istrinya beli sebuah tas di Kassaya >> Wakakaka, info yang nggak gitu penting). Trus, mamaku nawarin untuk nemenin dia, keluarganya, sama temen-temennya untuk makan di Mang Engking, Godean (jauh tuh dari Yogyakarta, tapi tempatnya enak soale kan terletak di tengah-tengah persawahan sama kolam peternakan udang)).
Makanya, kemarin Kamis siang, mamaku sama aku menemani temennya itu pergi ke tuh restoran. Jam 2 siang ktia sampe disana, dan untungnya dapet tempat (kemarin kan liburan, makanya banyak banget yang mau makan disana, ada sekitar 100an mobil waktu kita sampe). Habis makan, kita balik lagi ke Yogyakarta, dan beli beberapa banyak bakpia. Trus, kita balik ke rumah
Jumat
Karena aku lagi pingin banget makan di Qua-Li, tadi malam mamaku (skalian mau jalan2 katanya, sama temennya juga) sama aku pergi ke Plaza Ambarrukmo. Habis memarkir mobil saya, kita pergi deh langsung ke Qua Li di lantai 3. Untungnya ada tuh meja yang kosong (kalo kita lagi nggak beruntung nih, kita nggak bisa deh makan di Qua-Li hara2 semua kursinya terpakai, terutama waktu jam-jam makan). Aku mencoba beberapa menu "baru" (yang belom pernah aku coba disana). Aku pesen lumpia mayoniasse (favorit saya), kangkung sambal terasi, ayam kung pao, cumi goreng cabe kering, dan pangsit goreng. Berdasarkan lidah saya, semuanya enak loh... :)
--iklan komersial--
Trus, aku pergi ke Centro (mencari counter dari toko saya disana yang baru buka 12 hari >> nggak pake nama Kassaya, tapi "BVLGARI" counter >> produk yang dijual juga nggak sebanyak yang dijual di toko-toko Kassaya lainnya soalnya kan kita cuma jual Bvlgari, Calvin Klein, Issey Miyake, dan Davidoff disana (berdasarkan kontak dengan pihak Centro). Terletaknya di deket Kasir 5 tuh
--iklan komersial selesai--
Trus, aku pergi ke Gramedia (sementara mamaku sama temennya pergi ke salon), beli komik. Karena kakiku "membunuh" saya, aku nyoba nyari tempat duduk (dan akhirnya menemukan satu di KFC) dan duduk disana sambil baca tuh komik (tentu saja habis beli sebgelas coke lah...). Trus mamaku telpon aku untuk menemuinya di depan Carrefour, dan tentu aja kan aku meninggalkan KFC dan menuju ke tuh tempat. Dia sama temennya lagi duduk di toko minum jus sama kopi (yang kemudian aku tahu ternyata GRATIS gara-gara seseorang diantara mamaku atau temennya beli blender disana). Trus kita pergi ke Mie Baso untuk beli makanan untuk besok pagi. Disana, mamaku ketemu temennya yang punya Roti Boy Jogjakarta (yang lokasi tempatnya di sebelahnya Mie Baso), dan habis beberapa pembicaraan, yang aku nggak tahu apa, dia ngasi kita beberapa roti GRATIS... :)
ENGLISH
Since I watched Star Trek until early in the morning (then surfed the net for a while), yesterday morning I got up at 10 AM >> one "privilege" I could have during my holiday time in Jogjakarta. Then I did nothing but surfed the net and played a PC game until the noon. At 2.30 PM, my mother asked me to drop her at Galeria, but then I also dropped at Galeria. After looking for some a long-sleeves shirt/t-shirt but then failed (a.k.a couldn't find it), I went back to my shop (Kassaya Galeria) and took a seat there to take a rest. At first I only planned to sit there just for couple of minutes. But then one our passed, two hours, two and a half, and it was finally 5.30 PM. I had dinner at KFC, then went back to my shop again. Guess what?? Yesterday I became a quickie cashier (wakakakakaka...) >> whereas I don't know most of the stuffs (perfumes and bags) there. That was my first experience, and at least now I can operate credit-card machine.... :P.
At 9 PM we went back home. Unfortunately, my father forgot to twist off the water-tap at the second floor, therefore last night there was a flood on the back side of the second floor of my house. My brother, my father, and I (my maids were still off, they also did "mudik" to their homevillage) had to clean that room by putting those water manually to some pails and threw it away via the exile pipe. It was so exhausting.... :( Then I wanted to watch Star Trek, but it was off yesterday. I think Indosiar won't continue that program... :(
BAHASA INDONESIA
Karena aku nonton Star Trek sampe pagi-pagi banget (trus main internet bentar), kemarin aku bangun pagi jam 10 >> sebuah "kekhususan" yang bisa aku dapat selama masa liburanku di Jogjakarta. Trus aku nggak ngapa-ngapain selain main internet dan main sebuah game di komputer. Jam 2.30 siang mamaku nyuruh aku untuk nganter dia di Galeria, tapi akhirnya aku turun juga deh disana. Setelah mencari beberapa sebuah kaos / kemeja lengan panjang dan gagal (alias nggak dapet), aku balik deh ke tokoku disana (Kassaya Galeria) dan duduk disana untuk istirahat. Pertamanya sih aku cuma berencana untuk duduk disana beberapa menit doank. Tapi kemudian satu jam berlalu, dua jam, dua setengah, dan akhirnya dah jam 5.30 sore. Aku makan malam di KFC, trus balik ke tokoku lagi deh. Tebak gimana?? Kemarin aku jadi kasir dadakan (wakakakakaka...) >> padahal aku nggak hafal barang-barangnya (parfum dan tas) loh. Itu adalah pengalaman pertama saya, dan paling nggak sekarang aku bisa mengoperasikan mesin kartu kredit.... :P.
Jam 9 malam aku balik ke rumah. Malangnya, papaku lupa untuk menutup kran air di lantai dua, makanya kemarin ada banjir deh di lantai dua bagian belakang dari rumahku. Adikku, papaku, dan aku (pembokat2 kan lagi pada mudik ke kampung halamannya masing-masing) harus membersihkannya dengan memasukkan tuh air ke beberapa embel secara manual dan membuangnya melalui pipa pembuangan. Capek banget tuh.... :( Trus malemnya mau nonton Star Trek, eh ternyata nggak ada. Aku rasa Indosiar nggak akan melanjutkan program ini deh.... :(

ENGLISH
This weekend was an ordinary weekend for me actually (except this morning I went back to Jogjakarta a.k.a "mudik"), but last Friday and Saturday, the holiday atmosphere had already been felt in Bandung. Usually, every evening, Bukit Jarian was so crowded (full of college-students who lived (at boarding houses) around there), but in the last 3 days, since some food "warung"s were close because the owners also did "mudik", the situation turned 180 degrees.
Well, last Friday, we got our Micro Economics UTS Result, and I got 93 (again, the highest mark, thx God.... :D). So, I'm still waiting for another 2 UTS Result which still haven't been given to us (Religiocity Education and English).
As I wrote before, this morning I went back to Jogjakarta, if 10 days ago (when I also went back to Jogja, you can read it here), I used Morning-Lodaya Express, this morning I caught Argo Wilis Express, which departed 30 minutes earlier than Morning-Lodaya Express. The normal price of these 2 express trains are only slightly Rp. 5,000.00 different (about 60 cents USD). But next time, I will choose Argo Wilis Express. Why?? Because apparently, this Rp. 5,000.oo means A LOT. In Argo Wilis, I got a better cart (with cooler AC, TV >> even the programs were not so interesting, automatic door, cleaner toilet, and more complete snack (2 breads, 1 pack of korma, 1 apple, and tea (in Lodaya I only got 2 breads, 1 apple, and 250 mL mineral water)), more on-time schedule (it was "only" late 25 minutes), and was priored (when Argo Wilis met another trains heading to the west (my train this morning headed to the east), all of those trains (not only Economy-Class Trains, but also some Executive/Business-Class Trains such as Taksaka Express (heading for Jakarta), Morning-Lodaya Express (heading for Bandung), etc.... ) stopped and let us go first >> since it was only single-rail there). Wakakaka, do I sound like a sales?? :P. He3, finally this afternoon Argo Wilis Express arrived at Yogyakarta Tugu Railway Station Platform 2 at 1.40 PM. And now, I'm in Yogyakarta again... :)

BAHASA INDONESIA
Akhir minggu ini sebenernya adalah akhir minggu yang biasa-biasa aja sih untuk aku (kecuali pagi ini aku balik ke Jogjakarta alias "mudik"), tapi kemarin Juamt dan Sabtu, suasana liburan udah kerasa loh di Bandung. Biasanya, tiap malem nih, Bukit Jarian tuh selalu penug (penuh akan para mahasiswa yang tinggal (di tempat kos) di sekitar sana), tapi 3 hari belakangan ini, karena beberapa warung makanan tutup gara-gara pemiliknya juga mudik, situasinya langsung berubah 180 derajat.
Hmm, Jumat kemarin, kita dapat deh nilai UTS Ekonomi Mikro, dan aku dapet 93 (sekali lagi, tertinggi deh di kelas, makasih Tuhan.... :D). Jadi, aku masih nunggu 2 hasil UTS lain yang masih belom dibagi ke kita (Pendidikan Religiositas dan Bahasa Inggris).
Seperti yang udah aku tulis sebelumnya, pagi ini aku balik ke Jogjakarta, kalo 10 hari yang lalu, waktu aku juga balik ke Jogja, seperti yang bisa dibaca disini, aku menggunakan Kereta Api Cepat Lodaya Pagi, pagi ini aku naik Kereta Api Cepat Argo Wilis, kereta ini berangkatnya 30 menit lebih awal daripada Lodaya Pagi. Harga normal untuk 2 kereta ini cuma berbeda tipis banget, Rp. 5.000,oo (sekitar 60 sen dollar Amerika). Tapi lain kali, aku bakalan milih Argo Wilis. Kenapa?? Soalnya ternyata, Rp. 5.000,oo berarti BANYAK loh. Di Argo Wilis, aku dapet gerbong yang lebih baik (dengan AC yang lebih dingin, TV >> walau programnya gak gitu menarik sih, pintu otomatis, toilet lebih bersih, dan snack lebih komplit (2 roti, 1 pak korma, 1 buah apel, sama teh kotak (kalo di Lodaya sih cuma dapet 2 roti, 1 apel, sama air mineral 250 mL)), jadwal yang lebih tepat waktu (tadi "cuma" terlambat 25 menit tuh), dan juga diutamakan (waktu Argo Wilis bertemu kereta lain yang menuju arah barat (tadi keretaku kan menuju ke arah timur), semua kereta-kereta itu (nggak yang cuma kelas ekonomi loh, juga yang kelas eksekutif/bisnis misalnya KA Taksaka (tujuan Jakarta), Lodaya Pagi (tujuan Bandung), dll.... ) berhenti dan kita bisa terus jalan deh >> soalnya kan relnya cuma satu tuh). Wakakaka, apa aku kedengaran kayak seorang sales?? :P He3, akhirnya tadi siang kereta Argo Wilis sampai di Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta di jalur 2, jam 1.40 siang. Jadi, sekarang aku di Jogja deh... :)
Hi all, I know it's a lil' too early to say this, but I am afraid I won't have the chance next time, so I just wanna say:
HAPPY IDUL FITRI
for them who celebrate this moment
I wanna apologize from the bottom of my heart if there is something that I did wrong

ENGLISHAs you can read here, last week my friend lost his ATM and student-ID cards. He thought somebody stole them in the train, but I doubt that. And finally, yesterday the truth was revealed (:P), he was careless and found his student-ID card in his bag, and his ATM card was in a plastic bag in Jogja.... :)BAHASA INDONESIASeperti yang bisa dibaca disini, minggu lalu temenku kehilangan kartu ATM sama KTM (Kartu Tanda Mahasiswa)-nya. Dia kira seseorang mencuri tuh kartu-kartu di dalam kereta, tapi aku meragukannya. Dan akhirnya, kemarin kenyataannya terungkap (:P), dia ceroboh, dan menemukan KTMnya di dalam tas-nya dan kartu ATMnya ada di dalam kantong plastik di Jogja.... :)
ENGLISHI just feel that yesterday (a.k.a last Monday) was a bad day for me (background song: Bad Day by Daniel Powter). Since I arrived at Bandung last Sunday, and I didn't really have any time to take a nap in my train (that's why I prefer morning train, I can't enjoy sleeping during my trip inside a train, at least I could enjoy the scenery if I catch morning train, he3... :D) therefore yesterday my body was still pretty tired. As a result, I didn't have any mood to have lectures yesterday, but in other hands, yesterday was a full-day, I got lectures from early in the morning (7 AM), until afternoon (3 PM). I forced my body to attend those lectures, but in class, I couldn't really concentrate... :(. Then, when finally lectures were over, it was raining (actually showering... :D). Arrrggghhhh.... . In the evening, my lil' bro told me that shocking news (you can read it here). You had a bad day, You're taking one down, You sing a sad song just to turn it around, ...............Lucky me today is Tuesday, a free-day-from-lectures for me. Therefore, I could stay awake until midnite early morning watching Star Trek Enterprise at Indosiar. Last night (or morning??) its episode was titled Dear Doctor. According to many reviews (one is located here), that episode is one of the best episode. Well, since there have been many reviews, so I won't write any... :) I understand why so many people consider that episode as one of the best episode. I do learn a lot from this episode, where sometimes we shouldn't take part at some circumstantes eventhough we do believe our decision or consideration is the best one. When somebody is in a trouble, we tend to help him/her, but when transforming from a cocoon to a butterfly, that creature feels hurts on its body, but if we help it gets out from its cocoon, it will be UNABLE to fly... . I also learn some other things, but if I write them, this entry will be very very long, he3.... :)Btw, today my friend and I went to Ciwalk to take some cash at ATM (at Premiere) and also had refreshing... :) Then, I booked a room at Sany-Rosa hotel for my parents when they are here next 29th and 30th October.... :)-- quick update --7.40 PM: my dad is okay right now, I heard he is already at home. I don't really know what treatment he had, has, or will have; whether using laser or medicine, but he is fortunately okay right now... . Thanks God and thanks to all who have prayed for his health... :)BAHASA INDONESIAAku ngerasa koq kemarin (alias hari Senin) adalah hari yang jelek untuk aku ya (lagu latar: Bad Day oleh Daniel Powter). Karena aku baru sampai di Bandung hari Minggu kemarin, dan nggak punya waktu untuk tidur di kereta (itulah kenapa aku lebih suka kereta pagi, aku nggak bisa tidur kalo lagi naik kereta, paling nggak kan aku bisa menikmati pemandangan di jalan kalo aku naik kereta pagi, he3.... :D) makanya kemarin badanku masih lumayan capek. Sebagai hasilnya, aku nggak punya mood untuk kuliah kemarin, padahal di sisi lain, kemarin adalah hari penuh, aku ada kuliah dari pagi-pagi banget (jam 7) sampe siang (jam 3). Aku memaksa badanku untuk menghadiri tuh kuliah-kuliah, tapi di kelas, aku nggak gitu bisa konsentrasi deh... :(. Trus, ketika akhirnya kuliahnya selesai, eh malah hujan (sebenernya gerimis sih... :D). Arrrggghhhh.... . Sorenya, adikku malah mengabari kabar yang mengejutkan itu (bisa dibaca disini). You had a bad day, You're taking one down, You sing a sad song just to turn it around, ...............Untung deh hari ini Selasa, sebuah hari-bebas-kuliah untuk aku. Makanya aku bisa begadang sampe tengah malam pagi-pagi buta nonton Star Trek Enterprise di Indosiar. Malam tadi (atau pagi yaa??) episodenya berjudul Dear Doctor. Berdasarkan banyak review (salah satunya ada disini), episode itu adalah salah satu dari episode terbaiknya. Hmm, karena dah banyak review, aku nggak mau nulis reviewnya lagi ah... :) Aku mengerti sekarang kenapa koq banyak orang yang mengatakan kalo episode ini adalah salah satu episode terbaik. Aku belajar banyak dari episode ini, dimana kadang-kadang kita tidak perlu ikut campur dalam beberapa keadaan walaupun kita mungkin percaya keputusan dan pertimbangan kita adalah yang terbaik. Misalnya, ketika ada yang sedang kesusahan, kita akan membantunya. Namun, ketika ber-metamorfosis dari kepompong ke kupu-kupu, konon makhluk ini mengalami kesakitan yang luar biasa pada badannya, tapi ketika kita menolongnya keluar dari kepompongnya, dia akan TIDAK MAMPU untuk terbang.... . Aku juga belajar banyak hal lain sih, tapi kalo aku menulisnya semua, postingan ini akan jadi sangat-sangat panjang deh, he3.... :)Btw, hari ini aku sama temenku jalan2 ke Ciwalk untuk ngambil duit di ATM (di Premiere) dan juga refreshing... :) Trus, aku memesan kamar di Hotel Sany-Rosa untuk ortu-ku waktu mereka disini ntar tanggal 29 sama 30 Oktober.... :)-- apdet cepet --7.40 PM: papaku dah nggak papa sekarang, aku denger malah udah ada di rumah tuh. Aku nggak ngerti jenis perawatan yang diambil, sedang diambil, atau akan dijalani; apa memakai laser atau obat-obatan, tapi untungnya papaku dah nggak papa sekarang... . Terima Kasih Tuhan dan Terima Kasih kepada semua yang udah berdoa untuk kesembuhannya... :)

Hello folks!!! Finally now I have been in Bandung. Yesterday I left Yogyakarta at 9.56 AM by Morning-Lodaya Express (so, NOT by car, we will bring my car do Bandung 2 weeks later since next Sunday I'm going back to Yogyakarta again). Nothing really special happened during my trip yesterday except when we almost arrived at Bandung, there were some naughty and anarchist children (or spesifically boys) threw my train with some stones and of course that caused annoying and pretty terrifying noise.... :( Btw, before arriving at Banjar Station, I thought my train was gonnabe on time (a very rare thing which happens at Indonesian Railway Network) but after passing Tasikmalaya, it slowed down its speed and seemed to be careful, that's acceptable since last week there was a train accident around there.... :) Finally, at 5.26 PM we arrived at Bandung Railway Station, just aound 30 minutes late. Then, we had dinner at Hoka-Hoka Bento Restaurant and went back to my boarding house by a taxi. Yesterday, getting a taxi was an annoying negotiation. A cab driver came to me and offered Rp. 25,000.oo; of course I refused that. Then he said Rp. 10,ooo.oo (honestly, I didn't come up with that number). A very interesting offer, I agreed. But then he said: "What?? 10,000? How much you think is fuel's price right now??". He said that, denied that, and of course I was pissed and left that f***ing driver witout saying any words. Then, another driver offered Rp. 15,000.oo.
This morning, I got my Elementary Statistics exam result, and I got 94 for the exam, that's pretty good, and 99 for my daily assignments. Apparently, I got the highest mark at my class for that subject... :)
-- quick update --
6.40 PM: This afternoon, I got my two other exam results, First Calculus I got 84 (arrgghhh, I was so careless at that time) >> I could have done better; and Elementary Linear Algebra I got 90. Both of them are not really bad I think... :)
6.45 PM: Btw, just some minutes ago, my brother told me that my dad is now in the hospital!! I don't know what happened to him nor the disease, my brother neither, and we are unable to call my mom's cellphone. I hope he is alrite, and doesn't need to stay in the hospital.... . :praying to God:
-- quick update II --

Hallo semua!!! Akhirnya sekarang aku dah ada di Bandung nih. Kemarin aku meninggalkan Yogyakarta jam 9.56 pagi dengan menggunakan Kereta Api Lodaya-Pagi (jadi NGGAK naik mobil, kita akan bawa tuh mobil 2 minggu lagi soale kan Minggu besok aku mau balik ke Yogyakarta lagi). Nggak ada yang spesial sih terjadi dalam perjalananku kemarin kecuali waktu kita mau sampai di Bandung, ada beberapa anak kecil (atau tepatnya anak laki-laki) nakal dan anarkis yang melempari keretaku dengan batu dan tentu saja menyebabkan bunyi yang menyebalkan dan agak menakutkan tuh.... :( Ngomong-ngomong, sebelum sampai di Stasiun Banjar, aku kira keretaku bakalan tepat waktu loh (suatu hal yang sangat jarang sekali terjadi di dunia perkeretaapian Indonesia). Tapi habis melewati Tasikmalaya, keretanya mengurangi kecepatannya dan kayaknya hati-hati gitu, masih dimaklumi sih soalnya kan seminggu yg lalu gitu ada kecelakaan kereta di sekitar sana.... :) Akhirnya, jam 5.26 sore, sekitar 30 menit terlambat, keretaku sampai juga di Stasiun Kereta Api Bandung. Trus, aku makan malam di Restoran Hoka-Hopka Bento, trus balik ke kos naik taksi. Mendapatkan taksi adalah transaksi yang menyebalkan banget deh kemarin. Pertamanya, ada sopir taksi minta Rp. 25.000,oo; jelas aku menolaknya kan. Trus dia ngomong Rp. 10.000,oo (aku nggak muncul dengan angka itu loh). Oke, penawaran yang sangat menarik. Aku terima, trus dia tau2ngomong: "Jaman kapan koq cuma 10.000. Emang kamu pikir berapa harga bensin sekarang??". Dia ngomong itu, mengingkarinya, dan aku marah kan, dan meninggalkan sopir br*****k itu tanpa mengatakan apa2. Trus, ada sopir lain yang menawarkan Rp. 15.000,oo.
Btw, pagi ini aku dapet hasil UTS Statistika Elementerku. Aku dapet 94, lumayan bagus tuh, dan 99 untuk tugas hariannya. Ternyata, aku dapet nilai tertinggi di kelasku dalam mata kuliah itu... :)
-- apdet cepet --
6.40 PM: Siang ini, aku dapet hasil UTSku 2 lagi, Untuk Kalkulus 1 aku dapet 84 (arrgghhh, aku nggak teliti sih pas itu) >> aku bisa mengerjakannya dengan lebih baik; dan Aljabar Linear Elementer aku dapet 90. Dua-duanya nggak jelek sih menurutku... :)
6.45 PM: Btw, beberapa menit yang lalu, adikku ngomong ke aku kalo papaku skarang di rumah sakit!! Aku nggak tahu apa yang terjadi ataupun apa penyakitnya, adikku juga, dan kita nggak bisa menghubungi hape mamaku. Aku harap sih papaku nggak apa-apa, dan nggak perlu menginap di rumah sakit.... . :berdoa pada Tuhan:
-- apdet cepet II --
9.53 AM: Akhirnya kemarin malam aku tahu apa yang terjadi. Papaku ternyata sakit "batu ginjal" dan karena itu perlu nginep deh di rumah sakit, tapi semuanya dah nggak papa koq sekarang... :). Makasih untuk semua yang udah perhatian yaa.... :)

This afternoon, I spent my time with my friends. I picked them up with my new car (which I'm (actually we are) gonna drive to Bandung after Lebaran and will be my transportation vehicle during my time in Bandung, so I won't have to walk or catch angkot anymore... :D) and went to Plaza Ambarrukmo. Easy to guess, we directly walked to Qua-Li (I really missed its food.... :D) and had lunch there. I got 2 advantages today, first, finally I could have meal at Qua-Li, second, it was FREE (no charge) since my friend was celebrating his birthday yesterday, and he paid all the food we ordered... :D. After that, we went to Cinema 21, but didn't watch any movie since none of the films was really tempting us to watch, plus a strange rumor which has been spreaded these days about watching movie at Cinema 21. The rumor said that on the seat, there was a needle, and if you incidentally were pricked, then you would get AIDS. Well, weird rumor right?? Then, we went to Carrefour and bought some things, and left Plaza Ambarrukmo. Actually we planned to go karyoke-ing, but since today is still in the Ramadhan Month, the karyoke was close. So, we went to Galeria and just walked around there (and took pics of my shop, Kassaya, he3.... :) >> promotion). After that, we went back home.
Btw, there were some changes at Yogyakarta after leaving this town for about 2 months, especially on the traffic. There was a new traffic light near my house, and that's a smart move since there used to be traffic jam before... :) Bandung should do the same thing to manage its terrible traffic condition I think.... :D
::: Black-Pepper Beef + Rice and Mayonaisse Lumpia
::: Seafood Kweetiauw
::: Qua-Li Fried Kweetiauw
::: Goat's head at Carrefour.... :(
::: New traffic light
::: Kassaya Galeria
::: Kassaya Galeria (2)

Siang ini, aku menghabiskan waktuku sama temen-temenku. Aku menjemput mereka dengan mobil baruku (yang aku (sebenernya kami sih) akan setir ke Bandung habis Lebaran dan akan menjadi alat transportasiku selama aku di Bandung, jadi kan aku nggak harus jalan atau naik angkot lagi... :D) trus pergi ke Plaza Ambarrukmo. Gampang ditebak, trus kami berjalan langsung ke Qua-Li (aku bener-bener kangen sama makanannya.... :D) dan makan siang disana. Aku mendapatkan 2 keuntungan hari ini, pertama akhirnya aku bisa makan di Qua-Li, kedua, tadi tuh GRATIS (nggak mbayar) soale kan temenku kemarin ngerayain ulang-tahunnya, dan dia membayar semua makanannya... :D. Habis itu, kita pergi ke Cinema 21, tapi nggak nonton apa-apa soale nggak ada film yang bener-bener menggoda untuk ditonton dan karena sebuah rumor aneh yang tersebar baru-baru ini tentang nonton di Cinema 21. Katanya, di atas kursinya tuh ada sebuah jarum, dan kalau kamu secara nggak sengaja tertusuk tuh jarum, kamu kena AIDS. Hmm, rumor yang aneh kan?? Trus, kita pergi ke Carrefour dan belanja beberapa barang, dan meninggalkan Plaza Ambarrukmo. Sebenernya kita berencana untuk pergi ke karaoke sih, tapi karena hari ini tuh masih dalam Bulan Ramadhan, maka karaokenya tutup. Jadi kita pergi ke Galeria dan jalan-jalan disana(ngambil foto tokoku juga, Kassaya, he3.... :) >> promosi critanya). Habis itu aku pulang.
Ngomong-ngomong, ada beberapa perubahan deh di Yogyakarta habis aku meninggalkan kota ini selama 2 bulan, terutama dalam hal lalu-lintas. Ada sebuah lampu merah baru deket rumahku, dan itu adalah langkah yang cerdas, soalnya biasanya disana tuh macet banget sebelumnya... :) Bandung harusnya melakukan hal yang sama dengan menata kondisi lalu-lintasnya yang parah tuh.... :D

Hi everyone, finally now I am in Yogyakarta... :) Now, I'm gonna write about my journey to Yogyakarta.... :)
This morning, I got up at 5.30 AM, and after preparing every things and making sure nothing was left, I went to Bandung Railway Station. At 6.45 AM, I arrived at the station, and my train (Morning-Lodaya Express) was at the second platform. At 7.15 AM, I boarded my train, and at 7.32 AM, just 2 minutes late, my train departed.
Then at 3.15 PM (late for 1 hour) my train arrived at Yogyakarta Tugu Railway Station then I directly went back home... :)
Actually there was nothing special I could write here since it was only that kind of trip, so I would also post some photos which I took during my trip... :) So sorry if those make this blog becomes a lil' heavier... :) >> O yes, 2 days ago, there was a train accident, and unfortunately that accident happened at Garut, which means all Bandung - Surabaya train network was totally paralyzed. Fortunately, now everything has been under-control... :)
Btw, there were some foreigners in my train, 6 of them got off at Banjar Station (I supposed they were going to Pangandaran Bay), another 2 got off at Kutoarjo Station (I have no idea what the hell they were intending to do), and another 2 got off at Yogyakarta Railway Station. >> this paragraph is not so important, rite?? :)
PS: today is 12th October 2006, 4 years ago, a tragedy happened in Indonesia (Bali). An explosive bomb exploded at Kuta, Bali and killed so many victims... . Hopefully this kind of tragedy won't happen anymore

Halo semua, akhirnya sekarang aku ada di Yogyakarta... :) Sekarang aku mau nulis perjalananku ke Yogyakarta deh.... :)
Pagi ini, aku bangun jam 5.30 pagi, dan habis mempersiapkan segalanya dan memastikan nggak ada yang ketinggalan, aku pergi ke Stasiun Kereta Api Besar Bandung. Jam 6.45 aku sampai di stasiunnya, dan keretaku (Lodaya-Pagi) dah ada di jalur kedua. Jam 7.15 aku naik ke keretanya dan jam 7.32, telat 2 menit, akhirnya keretanya berangkat.
Trus, jam 3.15 sore (telat 1 jam) akhirnya keretaku sampai di Stasiun Besar Yogyakarta (Tugu) trus langsung ke rumah deh... :)
Sebenernya nggak ada yang istimewa sih yang aku bisa tulis disini soalnya kan cuma perjalanan yang kayak gitu, jadi aku cuma akan mengupload beberapa foto yang aku ambil selama perjalanan deh... :) Sorry banget kalo foto-foto itu bikin blogku jadi sedikit berat... :) >> O iya, 2 hari yang lalu, ada kecelakaan kereta, dan malangnya kecelakaan terjadi di Garut, yang berarti jaringan kereta api Bandung - Surabaya lumpuh total. Untungnya sekarang semuanya sudah terkontrol... :)
Ngomong2, tadi ada beberapa orang asing di keretaku, 6 dari mereka turun di Stasiun Banjar (aku duga sih mereka bakalan ke Pantai Pangandaran tuh), 2 lagi turun di Stasiun Kutoarjo (aku nggak tahu mau ngapain ya mereka kesana?), dan 2 yang lain turun di Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta. >> paragraf yang nggak penting banget deh, ya kan?? :)
PS: hari ini adalah 12 Oktober 2006, 4 tahun yg lalu, tragedi terjadi di Indonesia (Bali). Bom yang kuat meledak di Pantai Kuta, Bali, dan menewaskan banyak orang... . Semoga peristiwa yang serupa ga terjadi lagi

Finally today is Wednesday, the last day of my Mid-Semester Exam and it also means that tomorrow I'm going back home to Jogjakarta... :)
Yesterday I had Elementary Linear Algebra Examination. It was not very difficult, I think I did pretty well on it, but it was pretty "stressful" when I studied it since there are so many definitions and theorems, and it's pretty hard to memorize all of them, and because of that, I didn't memorize all the theorems, he3... :) Btw, yesterday I finally also returned the overdue book, and you know what?? They charged me Rp. 6,000.oo, arrrggghhhhhhh.... . This morning, I had my last examed subject, English. Well, it was A LOT easier than I thought before, it's even easier than my Junior High-School English Exams. Technically I only used 30 minutes of 2 hours time, but actually I had already finished it in about 15 minutes (because the rule is, we can't leave the examination room before 30 minutes). And finally, the exams are now OVER!!! :)
Yesterday afternoon my friend sent me an sms and told me to be careful on-board (train) since he thought he was pickpocket-ed last Monday on train. He lost his ATM and Student-ID cards, but the strange thing was the pickpocket didn't steal his cash away along with those cards. That's so weird, why did he steal student ID card?? There is no use for him, that's number one. Number two, did he know the PIN number of the ATM card?? Three wrong tries will block the card. So, I think there are 2 possibilities: the pickpocket was an idiot unable to distinguish ATM (Debit) Card and Credit Card, and he probably also thought the student ID Card was a credit card (it looks like a credit-card actually, mine's too... :D). Second, it was my friend's carelessness, he put it somewhere, he forgot it, and it "vanished". That sometimes happens.... :) So, what do you guys think?? I think, the second possibility is much more real and possible than the first one... .
Btw, yesterday I watched Metro TV News, they said that now Youtube have been "purchased" by Google. Wow, Google seems to try to "conquer" this internet world.... :)
Well, this is all the last entry before my trip back home, he3... :)

Akhirnya hari ini adalah hari Rabu, hari terakhir dari Ujian Tengah Semester-ku dan itu juga berarti aku besok akan balik (mudik) ke Jogjakarta deh... :)
Kemarin aku ujian Aljabar Linear Elementer. Nggak susah-susah amat skih menurutku, kayaknya sih aku mengerjakan dengan lumayan baik deh, tapi lumayan "bikin stress" juga sih waktu lagi belajar soalnya ada banyak definisi dan teorema, dan lumayan susah juha kalo mau menghafal semuanya, makanya aku nggak menghafalkan semua teoremanya, he3... :) Btw, kemarin aku akhirnya juga ngembaliin buku yang udah telat tuh, dan tahu nggak?? Aku disuru bayar Rp. 6.000,oo, arrrgggghhhhhh.... . Pagi ini aku ujian yang terakhir, Bahasa Inggris. Hmm, ujiannya JAUH SEKALI lebih gampang dari perkiraanku, bahkan lebih gampang daripada soal ulangan Bahasa Inggrisku pas SMP. Secara teknis aku hanya menggunakan 30 menit dari waktu 2 jam, tapi sebenernya sih aku dah selesai dalam 15 menit (soale ada aturan kalo nggak boleh meninggalkan ruangan ujian sebelum 30 menit). Dan akhirnya, sekarang ujiannya dah SELESAI!!! :)
Kemarin siang temenku ngirim aku sms dan bilang ke aku untuk hati-hati di dalam kereta, soalnya dia ngira kalo dia tuh hari Senin kemarin di kereta kecopetan. Dia kehilangan Kartu ATM sama Kartu anda Mahasiswanya tapi hal yang aneh adalah si pencurinya nggak nyuri uang tunainya sekalian sama kartu-kartu itu. Aneh banget kan, kenapa dia nyuri Kartu Tanda Mahasiswa?? Kan nggak ada gunanya untuk dia, itu nomer satu. Nomer dua, apa dia tahu tuh nomer PIN dari tuh ATM?? Tiga kali kesalahan akan mengeblok kartunya. Jadi, aku rasa ada 2 kemungkinan: pencurinya tuh idiot nggak bisa membedakan kartu ATM (Debit) dan Kartu Kredit, dan dia mungkin ngira Kartu Tanda Mahasiswa adalah sebuah kartu kredit (sebenernya mirip banget sama kartu kredit sih, punyaku juga... :D). Kedua, itu adalah kecerobohannya temenku, dia meletakannya di suatu tempat, dia lupa, dan trus "menghilang". Kan kadang-kadang hal kayak gitu terjadi.... :) Bagaimana menurut temen-temen?? Menurutku sih, kemungkinan keduanya yang lebih nyata dan lebih mungkin daripada yang pertama.... .
Ngomong-ngomong, kemarin aku nonton berita di Metro TV, katanya sekarang Youtube sudah "dibeli" oleh Google. Wow, Google kayaknya sedang mencoba untuk "menaklukan" dunia internet nih.... :)
Hmm, ini adalah akhir dari postingan terakhirku sebelum perjalananku balik ke rumah, he3... :)

Last weekend, once again, was one of the most boring weekend for me. Last Saturday, I was a "worthless" person, I did nothing special, just got up, had meal, slept, watched a movie (Scary Movie 1) and surfed the net. So boring and plain. Yesterday was no different until afternoon. In the evening my friend and I went to Paskal Hyper-Square (it was my second time going there) and had dinner, but having meal at Paskal is not a great idea if you want to save your money. And for sure, again, yesterday I was over-budget (well, I think today and tomorrow I really have to spend less-money since next Wednesday, I'm pretty sure I'm gonnabe over-budget again). One portion of batagor was priced Rp. 16,000.oo. Arrrrgggghhh.... . It was such a large portion actually, but it's still pretty expensive, I would still rather smaller portion but priced around Rp. 5,000.oo than it. Then, we went to Paris van Java Mall just to spend waste our time, he3... :) Paris van Java is such a nice mall I think, but the construction still hasn't been finished yet. Well, talking about mall, there is one good news. Next Year, my parents and their friends will open Qua-Li in Semarang in a new mall there, he3.... :)
Well, inspired by the third latest entry at Yutie's blog, I wanna write my similar experience when I was about 10 years old at Jakarta. At that time my mom, my grandma, my brother, my cousin, and I went to Taman Anggrek Mall. Well, because my mom wanted to shop at some "women's" shops, so we split into 2 "groups", my mom herself and the rest of us. At first my group (we) went to TimeZone, and after that because I was so excited to go to Gramedia (looking for some comics) >> Gramedia was on the lowest story at that time, and TZ was on the upper story >> so I left my group behind (I am a fast walker (fast is relative, but it's pretyy qucik for Indonesian standart), I don't really like walking so slowly except when I am too tired or sick). As a result, it's quite obvious I think, I was lost. I was a lil' panic at that time, but I still can handle it since I am easy to remember place, so not really hard for me to find where our car was parked and met the driver. But on the way, I met my mom, my grandma, my brother and my cousin, well, easy to guess, my mom was mad at me. Back to the hotel where we stayed, my mom told my dad everything about it, but my dad was not even angry, he just smiled and was on my side... :)

Akhir minggu kemarin, sekali lagi, menjadi salah satu akhir minggu paling membosankan untuk aku. Sabtu kemarin, aku adalah orang yang "tak berharga", aku nggak melakukan apa-apa yang spesial, cuma bangun pagi, makan, bobok, nonton film (Scary Movie 1), sama main internet. Sangat membosankan dan datar. Kemarin juga nggak berbeda tuh sampai siang harinya. Sorenya, temenku sama aku pergi ke Paskal Hyper Square (kemarin tuh untuk kedua kalinya aku pergi kesana) dan makan malam, tapi makan di Paskal bukanlah ide yang bagus kalo kamu mau menghemat uang. Dan tentu saja, lagi-lagi, aku over-budget deh disana (Hmm, aku harus menghemat uang banget nih hari ini sama besok soalnya aku yakin besok Rabu aku bakalan over-budget lagi). Satu porsi batagor harganya Rp. 16.000,oo loh. Arrrrgggghhh.... . Porsinya sebenernya besar banget sih, cuma aku masih lebih memilih porsi yang agak kecialn tapi harganya Rp. 5.000,oo-an aja deh. Trus, kita pergi ke Mall Paris van Java untuk menghabiskan membuang-buang waktu disana, he3... :) Paris van Java adalah mall yang lumayan asik sih menurutku, tapi pembangunannya masih belum selesai. Hmm, ngomong-ngomong tentang mall, ada satu berita bagus deh. Tahun depan, ortuku dan temen-temennya bakalan membuka Qua-Li di Semarang di salah satu mall yang baru disana, he3.... :)
Hmm, terinspirasi oleh postingan ketiga terbaru dalam blognya Yutie, aku mau nulis tentang pengalamanku yang mirip waktu umurku masih sekitar 10 tahun di Jakarta. Waktu itu mamaku, nenekku, adikku, sepupuku, sama aku pergi ke Mall Taman Anggrek. Trus, karena mamaku mau jalan-jalan ke toko "wanita", jadi kami membagi jadi 2 "grup" deh, mamaku sendiri sama sisanya. Pertamanya kan grupku (kami) pergi ke TimeZone, dan habis itu karena aku lagi pingin banget ke Gramedia (mo nari komik) >> Gramedia ada di lantai paling bawah dan TZ berada di lantai yang agak di atas >> jadi aku meninggalkan grupku di belakang (aku adalah pejalan yang cepet (cepet tuh relatif sih, tapi untuk standar orang Indonesia kayaknya lumayan cepet deh), aku nggak gitu suka jalan pelan-pelan kecuali waktu lagi kecapekan dan sakit). Sebagai hasilnya, lumayan jelas sih menurutku, aku hilang. Aku sedikit panik sih waktu itu, tapi masih bisa aku atasi soalnya aku tuh gampang dalam mengingat tempat, jadi nggak susah-susah amat untuk aku untuk menemukan dimana mobil di-parkir dan ketemu sama sopirnya. Tapi dalam perjalanan, aku ketemu mamaku, nenekku, adikku, dan sepupuku, trus gampang ditebak sih, mamaku marah banget sama aku, he3... :) Balik ke hotel dimana kita nginep, mamaku cerita ke papaku semuanya, tapi untungnya papaku nggak marah sama sekali dan cuma senyum dan ada di pihakku... :)

After writing this entry yesterday, I think I'm gonna write something pretty boring right now about my life yesterday.... .
Yesterday morning I got up at 9 AM, and after taking a shower (yea, lucky me, in my boarding house, my bathroom is also "equipped" with shower... :D) I had breakfast. Then, I went to the internet cafe, and wrote this entry. After that, I went back home, and since in the afternoon at 1.30 PM I was gonna have a Religion Education Examination, so I studied. Last week, my lecturor said that it was not gonnabe all about "memorizing" exam, that's old-fashioned, that's what he said. But, based on my experience (wakzz) at high-school, which also use this method, we still need to read and study from the hand-outs and our notes... :) therefore yesterday I studied.
Then at 12.30 PM, I went to my campus heading for the library first to return an overdue book (actually I didn't know before that it had been overdue, I thought I had 2 weeks time, but my senior told me that "special" for that book, I only had 3 days. Arrrggghhhh...). Well, unfortunately, the library was close yesterday. Arrrggghhhhh... . Okay, then I went to Building 3 (my exam was gonnabe held in that building). At 1.30 PM, the exam started and we only had 1 hour to finish the exam. At first I thought: "Why is the time so short??" Because I was too confident had finished my work-sheet at 2 PM, so I left the room at that time (so, I only used only about 30 minutes, he3... :D). Then, I went back home and took a nap.
In the evening, my friends and I had dinner together at Sentra Kampus (Senpus). Actually I don't really like having meal at Senpus since it's pretty expensive there... :( >> but Senpus is a hotspot area, that's cool. After that, we went back home. Before that, I went to an internet cafe first... :)
That is the story of my boring, plain, and ordinary day yesterday....

Habis nulis postingan ini kemarin, kayaknya aku bakal nulis sesuatu yang lumayan membosankan tentang kehidupanku kemarin deh.... .
Kemarin pagi aku bangun jam 9 pagi, dan habis mandi pake shower (iya, beruntung deh saya, di kos-ku, kamar mandiku juga "dilengkapi" dengan shower... :D) aku sarapan. Trus aku pergi ke warnet dan menulis postingan ini. Habis itu, aku balik lagi ke kos, dan karena siangnya jam 1.30 siang aku bakalan Ujian Pendidikan Agama, jadi aku belajar deh. Minggu lalu dosenku ngomong kalo ujiannya nggak bakalan tentang "menghafal", itu udah kuno, itu yang dia bilang. Tapi berdasarkan pengalamanku (wakzz) di SMA, yang juga menerapkan metode yang sama, kita masih harus membaca dan belajar dari hand-out sama catatan kita... :) makanya kemarin aku belajar.
Trus jam 12.30, aku pergi ke kampus menuju ke perpustakaan dulu untuk ngembaliin buku yang dah telat (sebenernya sebelumnya aku nggak tau loh kalo dah telat tuh buku, soale aku kira kan waktunya 2 minggu, trus ada senior yang bilang kalo "khusus" untuk tuh buku, waktunya cuma 3 hari. Arrrggghhhh...). Trus, sayangnya, perpustakaan tutup tuh kemarin. Arrrggghhhhh... . Okay, trus aku pergi ke Gedung 3 (ujianku bakalan diadain di dalam tuh gedung). Jam 1.30 siang, ujian dimulai dan kita cuma punay waktu 1 jam untuk menyelesaikan ujian. Pertama aku mikir, "Koq bentar banget yah??". Tapi karena aku dah kepedean dah selesai ngerjain pekerjaanku jam 2 siang, jadinya aku meninggalkan ruangan jam segitu tuh (jadi aku cuma memakai waktu 30 menit, he3... :D). Trus aku pulang dan istirahat deh.
Sorenya, aku sama temen2ku makan malam bersama di Sentra Kampus (Senpus). Sebenernya sih, aku rada males makan di Senpis soale lumayan mahal disana... :( >> tapi Senpus tuh area hotspot loh, keren tuh. Habis itu kita balik deh, sebelumnya, aku pergi ke warnet dulu... :)
Itulah cerita tentang hariku kemarin yang membosankan, datar, dan biasa-biasa saja....
