This week is really a busy week for me, I got a lot of things to be done. Now I'm left with a few more, hehehe.... ;) Anyway, I dunno why but sometimes when I read a Horoscope in Friendster, it's true!! Hmmm..... . Just like yesterday when it said I gotta watch my wallet, and that's SO TRUE!! Hahaha, I'm definitely a bit 'royal' alias over my budget this month.... :( I usually dun like reading Horoscope, but I dunno why, FS' one is good I think, and it's also wise, not straight-forward to the point.
Btw, this evening I watched the second leg of TARA 2. All teams stayed in The Philippines. On the Road-Block, one team member gotta plough a rice field. On The Detour, they gotta choose between Heels of Wheels. The choice of Detour is a lot better than the previous leg (I would have chosen Heels since I'm terribly bad on mechanical things, hehe... :D). Edwin was so hard on Monica, poor Monica, hmm, probably because he was so stressed. They were the bottom two and they were marked for elimination, hmm... . Anyway, the final placing: 1. Marc & Rovilson (no surprise); 2. Paula & Natasha; 3. Ann & Diane; 4. Pamela & Vanessa; 5. Adrian & Collin; 6. Brett & Kinaryosih; 7. Sophie & Aurelia; 8. Daichi & Sawaka; 9. Henry & Terri; 10. Edwin & Monica (ELIMINATED). Anyway, the good news is that apparently Edwin & Monice had broken up (after 10 years of relationship), huahahaha, good for Monica... ;)
I dunno, after some things that happened on The Forum, I begin to lose my respect to one team. In other hands, I start to like another team (Sophie & Aurelia), hahaha... ;)

Minggu ini bener2 sibuk buat saya, aku ada banyak hal yang musti diselesaikan. Skarang sih dah tersisa sedikit lagi sih, hehehe.... ;) Ngomong2, gatau kenapa tapi kalo baca Horoskop di Friendster, koq bener yah!! Hmmm..... . Misalnya nih kemarin gitu katanya aku mesti memperhatikan dompet dan itu BENAR SEKALI!! Hahaha, aku bener2 'royal' alias melebihi budget dah bulan ini.... :( Biasanya aku nggak suka baca Horoskop, tapi gatau kenapa yang di FS adalah yang bagus menurutku, dan itu juga nggak langsung tepat sasaran gitu kata2nya.
Btw, malem tadi aku nonton babak kedua dari TARA 2. Semua tim tetap tinggal di Filipina. Di Road-Block, satu anggota mesti membajak sawah. Di Detour, mereka mesti milih satu di antara Heels atau Wheels. Pilihan Detour-nya lebih bagus daripada minggu lalu menurut saya (kalo aku sih bakal milih Heels soale aku bener2 parah dalam urusan mekanik, hehe... :D). Edwin keras banget sama Monica, kasian Monica, hmm, mungkin karena dia stress kali yah. Mereka ada di 2 terendah dan mereka ditandai akan eliminasi, hmm... . Akhirnya, urutan terakhirnya: 1. Marc & Rovilson (nggak kaget ah); 2. Paula & Natasha; 3. Ann & Diane; 4. Pamela & Vanessa; 5. Adrian & Collin; 6. Brett & Kinaryosih; 7. Sophie & Aurelia; 8. Daichi & Sawaka; 9. Henry & Terri; 10. Edwin & Monica (TERELIMINASI). Ngomong2, berita bagusnya ternyata sekarang Edwin & Monica udah putus loh (setelah pacaran selama 10 tahun), huahahaha, bagus deh buat Monica... ;)
Gatau kenapa habis satu dua hal yang terjadi di forum, aku mulai nggak respek sama salah satu tim. Di sisi lain, aku mulai suka sama satu tim lagi (Sophie & Aurelia), hahaha... ;)
Anyway, yesterday I wacthed the fourth episode of TAR 12 in Burkina Faso. A new twist on the race was introduced, which is a "U-Turn". A U-Turn is a tool which gives power to a team to force the other team to do another Detour that other team didn't do (so the U-Turned Team gotta complete both the Detour Task). A U-Turn is placed after a Detour. Haha, so U-Turn is even more evil than a Yield. On this leg, Shana & Jennifer U-Turned Lorena & Jason because Shannifer thought Lorena & Jason were right behind them (and actually it was TK & Rachel who were right behind them since Lorena & Jason were still so far behind). Of course, this caused the elimination of Lorena & Jason. Anyway, for the third time, Azaria & Hendekea won the leg!! haha, they are smart people and they raced smartly, great job...
Anyway, today my friends and I went to Paris van Java and we wacthed Enchanted. It was a comedy-fantasy-musical film, and of course it's not 'very me', hahaha... :) Anyway, I could enjoy it eventho I don't love it. My full review can be read here. Btw, there was a funny experience. When I watched the movie, it was (accidentally) cut on the middle!! wakakakaka.... :)) I never had such an experience like that before!! haha
Arrrggghhh, tomorrow I have 2 quizes and 1 homework to be completed!! Dang It!! :(

Ngomong2, kemarin aku nonton episode keempat dari TAR 12di Burkina Faso. Sebuah 'alat' baru diperkenalkan di episode ini, yaitu "U-Turn" (putar balik). U-Turn adalah alat yang bisa memberikan kuasa kepada satu tim untuk memaksa tim lain melakukan tugas Detour yang belum dilakukan tim yang di-u-turn itu (jadi tim yang di-U-turn mesti melakukan semua tugas Detour). U-Turn ditempatkan setelah Detour. Haha, jadinya U-Turn tu lebih kejam daripada Yield yah. Di babak ini, Shana & Jennifer me-u-turn Lorena & Jason soale Shannifer ngira Lorena & Jason ada tepat di belakang mereka (padahal yg tepat di belakang mereka sih TK& Rachel tuh soale Lorena & Jason masih jauh di belakang mereka). Makanya, ini jelas mengakibatkan tereliminasinya Lorena & Jason. Ngomong2, untuk ketiga kalinya, Azaria & Hendekea juara satu!! haha, mereka orang pintar dan mereka ikutan lombanya juga pintar tuh, hebat...
Ngomong2, tadi aku sama temen2ku pergi ke Paris van Java buat nonton Enchanted. Ini adalah film musikan-fantasi-komedi, dan tentu saja nggak 'aku banget', hahaha... :) Ngomong2, bisa aku nikmati sih walau gak bener2 suka sama tipe filmnya. Review lengkap saya bisa dibaca disini. Btw, ada pengalaman lucu. Waktu lagi nonton, masak ya di tengah-tengah, filmnya (gak sengaja) kepotong!! wakakakaka.... :)) Aku gak pernah mengalami pengalaman kaya gitu sebelumnya!! haha
Arrrggghhh, besok akan ada 2 kuis dan 1 PR nih untuk diselesaikan!! Sialan!! :(
Hahaha, I dunno what to write, since my weekend has been just ordinary. Anyway, arrrgghhh, next week is gonnabe so busy for me, so many things are due this week, huh!! :(
Anyway, I dunno why but this evening I really wanted to eat pizza. Okay, so I went to Pizza Hut and bought a pan-pizza there, hahaha...
Btw, last Friday when my friends and I went to Paris Van Java, I realized that there is an "Auntie's Anne" Pretzel, haha... . My last time eating its pretzel was 4 years ago when I was in Singapore (I bought it at Changi), hahaha... :) At that time somebody (I dun recall) told me to buy it since there WAS NO Auntie's Anne in Indonesia. It's tasty!! :D

Hahaha, gatau nih saya mau nulis apaan, soalnya wiken saya ya biasa-biasa saja tuh. Ngomong2, arrrgghhh, minggu besok akan menjadi sangat sibuk buat saya, soale banyak hal yang mesti selesai minggu besok neh, huh!! :(
Ngomong2, gatau kenapa tapi sore tadi rasanya aku pengen banget makan pizza. Oke deh, jadi aku pergi ke Pizza Hut dan beli sebuah pan-pizza disana, hahaha...
Btw, Jumat kemarin pas aku sama temen2ku ke Paris van Java, aku baru sadar kalo ternyata ada toko Pretzel "Auntie's Anne" loh, haha... . Terakhir kali aku makan pretzelnya tuh 4 tahun lalu pas aku di Singapore (aku beli di Changi), hahaha... :) Pada waktu itu ada yang nyuruh (aku gak inget sapa) aku buat beli soale NGGAK ADA Auntie's Anne di Indonesia. Enak loh!! :D
Ah, finally what I had been waiting for came true yesterday. Finally yesterday AXN premierred the second season of TARA, hehehe... ;)
As I said, the first leg started from Singapore. All 10 teams gotta find specific taxis with clue before they could start. Henry & Terri and Ed & Monica were stuck on this task, causing them so left behind all other 8 teams. Anyway, The Detour Task was a no brainer, DARE (crossing 2 towers with a rope 181 m above the ground) or STAIRS (climbing 45 storey tower 3 then going down, then climbing another 45 storey tower 4 before retrieving their next clue). C'Mon, of course everyone was gonna take DARE, haha... ;) Then they went to Manila, Philippines, and gotta eat balut which is believed as an aphrodisiac.
The winner of the race was Pamela & Vanessa (that surprised me a lot since I never thought they would win it. I thought Marc & Rovilson would, who finally placed second). Brett & Kinaryosih were #4, not bad. And Edwin & Monica were last, but not eliminated (OMG, it is another NEL on the first leg?? hmm...). The good thing is that finally they applied the 30-minutes penalty, not taking all the money... ;)
My current Favorite Teams: 1. Brett & Kinaryosih 2. Henry & Terri - Marc & Rovilson (they were soo funny) 4. Paula & Natasha - Pamela & Vanessa

::: DARE Detour

Ah, akhirnya apa yang sudah aku tunggu-tunggu terjadi juga kemarin. Akhirnya kemarin AXN mulai menayangkan musim kedua dari TARA, hehehe... ;)
Seperti kataku sebelumnya, babak pertama dimulai di Singapore. Semua 10 tim muesti menemukan taksi spesifik yang ada petunjuknya sebelum mereka bisa mulai pergi. Henry & Terri dan Ed & Monica mengalami keselitan yang bikin mereka tu bener2 tertinggal di belakang lah dari yang lain. Ngomong2, Detour-nya pilihannya gampang banget, DARE (menyeberang 2 menara dengan tali stinggi 181 m dari tanah), atau STAIRS (naik tangga sebanyak 45 tingkat di menara 3, trus turun lagi, trus naik lagi 45 tingkat di menara 4 sebelum dapet petunjuk berikutnya). Ayolah, jelas lah pada milih DARE, haha... ;) Trus mereka pergi ke Manila, Filipina dan harus makan balut yang dipercaya sebagai suatu aphrodisiac.
Pemenang babak ini adalah Pamela & Vanessa (mengejutkan sekali tuh, soale aku gak pernah ngira mereka bakal menang. Aku malah ngiranya Marc & Rovilson yang bakal menang, dan mereka malah di peringkat 2). Brett & Kinaryosih ada di posisi #4, lumayan lah. Dan Edwin & Monica ada di posisi terakhir, tapi nggak tereliminasi (OMG, NEL lagi di babak pertama?? hmm...). Hal bagusnya sih akhirnya mereka menerapkan sistem 30 menit penaltu, nggak ngambil duit lagi... ;)
Tim Favorit-ku sampai saat ini: 1. Brett & Kinaryosih 2. Henry & Terri - Marc & Rovilson (mereka lucu tuh) 4. Paula & Natasha - Pamela & Vanessa - Daichi & Sawaka
Today has been really exhausting. I had my first class at 7 AM (and I didn't disappoint myself as I did this time haha... . I got up at 6.30 AM (with NO alarm).
Then, my second class was at 11 AM and continued my third class at 2 PM. The third class was a three-hour class, but it ended at 5.30 PM, arrrggghhhh... (it was 3.5 hours, 30 minutes more from the schedule, that sucks!! :( ).
My day hasn't finished yet. I still have 2 homeworks to finish, one is due tomorrow and the other is next Friday!! Huh!!! Sooo busy
Anyway, finally today the number of visitors of my blog reached 60,000!! Wow. That's an accomplishemt. Since at this time when it reached 50,000, it has been 4 months ad 2 days. So in average there were 2,487 visitors each month, hehe... ;) It was lower than at that time where in average there were about 4,000 visitors each month tho, but it's also good. Thanks for the support (I will write a similar entry when the number reached 70,000).
Btw, I'm so happy tomorrow TARA 2 will start!! yaaayyy!!! ;) According to some spoilers, all teams would start from Singapore, and the first pitstop was in Manila, Philippines.
::: 60,000!!!

Hari ini bener2 melelahkan sekali. Aku ada kelas pertama jam 7 pagi (dan aku nggak mengecewakan diri saya sendiri kaya waktu inihaha... . Aku bangun jam 6.30 pagi loh (TANPA alarm).
Trus, kelas kedua saya jam 11 pagi, trus berlanjut dengan kelas ketiga jam 2 siang. Kelas ketiga adalah kelas selama tiga jam, tapi selesainya jam 5.30 sore tuh, arrrggghhhh... (jadi totalnya 3,5 jam, 30 menit lebih dari jadwal, menyebalkan sekali!! :( ).
Hari saya belum selesai loh. Aku masih ada 2 PR yang harus diselesaikan, satu dikumpulin besok dan satunya besok Jumat!! Huh!!! Banyak banget sih kerjaannya
Ngomong2, akhirnya hari ini jumlah pengunjung blog saya mencapai 60.000 loh!! Wow. Bagus tuh. Sejak saat ini ketika mencapai angka 50.000, sudah 4 bulan dan 2 hari. Jadi dalam rata-rata ada 2.487 pengunjung tiap bulan, hehe... ;) Lebih rendah sih dari waktu itu dimana ada sekitar 4.000 pengunjung tiap bulan, tapi ya udah bagus sih. Makasih ya atas dukungannya (aku akan nulis posting yg mirip lagi habis mencapai angka 70.000).
Btw, seneng bgt nih besok TARA 2mulai main!! yaaayyy!!! ;) Menurut bocoran, semua tim mulai dari Singapura, dan babak satu pitstopnya ada di Manila, Filipina.
Haha, today I found a great news. Starting 10th December 2007, Merpati will fly daily between Bandung and Yogyakarta (now it's 4 times per-week), hehe... ;) That's gonna provide more diverse choice for me, hehehe... . Anyway, this morning I also surveyed the fare-ticket to go to Yogyakarta for me to go back to Yogyakarta this year-end. I got a promo-fare (Rp 281,000.oo nett >> it's peak season promo, on low season, the promo class is only Rp 199,000.oo nett). Okay, so I took it before it's taken by someone else, haha... . So it's official that I'm going back to Yogyakarta on Sunday, 23rd December 2007 catching Merpati MZ 326 departing at 6.15 AM. I haven't bought my ticket back to Bandung yet since I gotta make sure the exact date first
Anyway, this evening I watched the third episode of TAR 12. All teams went from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. This was the best episode so far, so many conflicts and so many funny quotes, hehe... ;) Ronald suffered a hernia after riding a bakfiets on the previous leg. Donald had fun with Marianna and Hoolia, hehehe... ;) Marianna & Julia were nice people, they told Lorena which camel to milk after finished the Road-Block, resulting Lorena & Jason had time to catch up. Marianna & Julia were eliminated, so sad... :( Anyway, Nathan & Jennifer, TK & Rachel, Kynt & Vyxsin, Ronald & Christina, and Donald & Nicolas arrived at the pitstop almost at the same time!! wow. Anyway, Shana & Jennifer made some bad comments about the locals... :(
Btw, I guess next leg Shana & Jennifer would use a new twist on the race, "U-Turn" on Lorena & Jason, hehe... ;) We will see...

Haha, hari ini aku menemukan berita bagus. Mulai 10 Desember 2007, Merpatiakan terbang setiap hari tuh antara Bandung dan Yogyakarta (sekarang sih masih 4 kali seminggu tuh), hehe... ;) Nah, itu kan akan memberikan pilihan yang lebih beragam deh buat saya, hehehe... . Ngomong2, pagi ini jelas aku juga dong sekalian survey harga tiket tuh Bandung - Yogyakarta untuk aku balik ke Yogyakarta akhir tahun ini. Aku dapet harga promo (Rp 281.000,oo netto >> ini harga promo waktu peak season, kalo di low season, harga promonya Rp 199.000,oo netto). Oke deh, aku ambil aja sebelum direbut sama orang lain kan, haha... . Nah, makanya udah resmi deh aku bakalan balik ke Yogyakarta di hari Minggu, 23 Desember 2007 ntar naik Merpati MZ 326 berangkat jam 6.15 pagi. Aku belum beli tiket untuk balik ke Bandung soale kan aku harus mastiin tanggalnya dulu.
Ngomong2 sore tadi aku nonton episode ketiga dari TAR 12. Semua tim mesti pergi dari Amsterdam, Belanda ke Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Ini adalah episode terbaik sejauh ini, soale banyak konflik dan kata2 yang lucu sih, hehe... ;) Ronald sakit hernia habis naik bakfiets di episode sebelumnya. Donald senang2 sama Marianna dan Hulia, hehehe... ;) Marianna & Julia orang yang baik banget tuh, mereka ngasi tau Lorena unta mana yang mending diperah susunya habis mereka menyelesaikan Road-Block, akhirnya Lorena & Jason kan jadi punya waktu buat nyusul mereka. Akhirnya Marianna & Julia tereliminasi, sedih... :( Ngomong2, serunya nih, Nathan & Jennifer, TK & Rachel, Kynt & Vyxsin, Ronald & Christina, dan Donald & Nicolas sampai di pitstop pada saat yang hampir sama!! wow. Ngomong2 juga, Shana & Jennifer membuat beberapa komentar buruk tentang orang lokal tuh... :(
Btw, aku duga di babak berikutnya Shana & Jennifer akan menggunakan alat baru tuh di pertandingan, "U-Turn" (Putar Balik) pada Lorena & Jason, hehe... ;) Kita akan lihat sih...
Haha, finally The Math Competition is over today, hehe.... :) Since it seems that many people don't understand, here I wanna say that I was the official of the competition. So, we held the competition, not joining it, hahaha.... :) The competition is for Elementary and Midschool (JHS + SHS) students. I created some of the questions.
Overall, the competition ran really well. Our teamwork was great (especially on day 2 (Friday)) and I am really glad, haha... . It was so exhausting tho, we worked from 6.30 AM up until 9 PM. On Thursday my main job was supervising the elementary level competition, scoring, and determining the winner. On Friday my main job was checking the quarter-final answers (for JHS level), handling the semifinal round for SHS level, and also accompanying the judges (lecturers) in scoring the semifinal answer (and an additional task: delivering the bad and good news to all contestants after the result was out). On Saturday, my main job was handling the presentation room where the final for SHS level was held (I actually a bit disagree with the judges' decision in ranking the final 6, one contestant was so nervous and was shaking during the presentation, plus a bit weird voice, and also a bit off course in answering the question, but he got #3? hmm... . my own opinion tho).
Anyway, I'm so glad it all went really really well. It doesn't mean there was no problem, there were some, but we were pretty solid so it was not affecting so much, phiuhh, hehe... ;)

Haha, akhirnya Kompetisi Matematika selesai hari ini, hehe... :) Nah, karena kayanya banyak yang gak mengerti, disini mau aku tulis bahwa saya itu adalah panitia dari kompetisinya. Jadi, kita yang mengadakan kompetisi, bukan ikutan lomba, hahaha.... :) Kompetisinya tuh buat tingkat SD dan Sekolah Menengah (SMP dan SMA) tuh. Aku yang bikin beberapa soalnya loh.
Secara keseluruhan, kompetisinya berjalan dengan baik. Kerjasama timnya bagus banget (terutama hari ke-2 (Jumat)) dan aku sangat lega sekali, haha.... . Sangat melelahkan sih, soale kan kerjanya dari sekitar jam 6.30 pagi sampe jam 9 malem tuh. Di hari Kamis, kerjaan utamaku ya mengawasi jalannya kompetisi tingkat SD, ngasi skor, dan menentukan pemenangnya. Di hari Jumat tugas utamaku mengecek jawaban babak perempat final (SMP), memegang babak semifinal buat SMA, dan juga menemani juri (para dosen) menilai jawaban babak semifinal (dan juga tugas tambahan sih: memberikan berita baik dan buruk ke peserta habis hasilnya keluar). Di hari Sabtu, tugas utamaku tuh memegang ruang presentasi dimana babak final buat SMA diadakan (aku agak dikit gak setuju sih sama keputusannya juri waktu babak 6 besar, satu peserta tu gugup banget dan gemeteran waktu presentasi, suaranya aneh, dan rada agak keluar jalur lah, tapi dia jadi juara 3? hmmm, menurutku pribadi sih).
Udahlah, yang penting aku sih lega banget semuanya lancar2 saja. Nggak berarti nggak ada masalah sih, ada beberapa, tapi karena kita lumayan solid, makanya masalah itu gak begitu berpengaruh, fiuhh, hehe... ;)
Kompetisi Matematika Unpar (Unpar Math Competition) 2007 is started today!! Wish Us Luck!! hehehe.... ;) Complete story will be posted on Saturday... . Haha, one year of preparation is all for these 3 days, hehe... ;)
Huhuhu, now it's 5.45 AM and I got up 10 minutes ago (so early in the morning in Bandung for me, except this time where I gotta catch the 6.15 AM flight.... :(

Arrggghhhh, this week is gonnabe real busy, since Unpar Math Competition 2007 is gonnabe held starting next Thursday until Saturday!! Hmmm... . Exciting but exhausting. I dunno, I hope there will be no conflict coming up this time, since some seniors told me that every year, conflict always raised... :(
Anyway, yesterday AXN aired the second leg of The Amazing Race 12. All teams traveled from Shannon, Ireland to Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Hahaha. Some tasks were so simple but interesting to watch. Well, on this episode, we found another side of Ronald (Ronald & Christina). Now I dun like him (but still like Christina, hehehe... ). He was so stubborn and talkative. He lectured everybody else and even lectured Nicolas (of Nicolas & Donald) on the airport for being rude to the check-in lady. Cmon, he didn't need to do that. Poor Christina... :( Anyway, yesterday Kate & Pat (Married Lesbian Ministers) got eliminated. I now like one other team, Lorena & Jason, haha. They are so interesting...
Btw, why does everyone know move to Wordpress?? Should I move too?? It's under consideration, hehehe...

Arrggghhhh, minggu ini bakalan sibuk banget nih, soale kan Kompetisi Matematika Unpar 2007 akan diadakan besok Kamis sampe Sabtu!! Hmmm... . Menegangkan tapi melelahkan. Gatau sih, moga2 gak akan ada konflik deh waktu ini, soale beberapa temen senior ngomong kalo tiap tahun tu pasti konflik muncul... :(
Ngomong2, kemarin AXN nayangin babak kedua dari The Amazing Race 12. Semua tim pergi dari Shannon, Irlandia ke Amsterdam, Belanda. Hahaha. Beberapa tugas sederhana sih, tapi menarik loh untuk ditonton. Di episode ini, kita menemukan satu sisi lain dari Ronald (Ronald & Christina). Sekarang aku gak suka sama dia (tapi masih suka sama Christina, hehehe... ). Dia tu keras kepala banget dan cerewet. Dia menguliahi semua orang lain dan bahkan Nicolas (Nicolas & Donald) di airport soale agak kasar sama petugas check-in-nya. Ayolah, kan dia gak perlu berlaku gitu. Kasian Christina... :( Ngomong2, kemarin Kate & Pat (Minister Lesbi Menikah) tereliminasi tuh. Dan sekarang aku suka satu tim lain lagi, Lorena & Jason, haha. Mereka menarik tuh ternyata...
If last Friday I didn't have anything to write, now I have a story to tell, hehehe.... :) This morning I accompanied my friends to do a survey for a villa to hold a TA next January, hehehe.... :) (yea, it's another TA, this year TA was held at this time). So, at 11 AM we departed and went to a place near Lembang. I dun really remember the exact address tho, hehe.. . It's a nice villa I think. But the only problem is a rule about no activity after 9 PM. Apparently, it was because of the neighbor who used to complain about that, haha...
Then, because it's still 12 PM and my friend got an info about a nice villa at Cipanas, so we went to Cipanas right after that. FYI, Cipanas is near Puncak, so from Bandung it's after Cianjur and before Puncak Pass (look at the map below). It's about 70 km from Bandung, but we normally spend about 2 hrs to go there because of the hilly road. Guess what?? Bandung was soo congested!! It took about 45 minutes just to get out of Bandung thru the Pasteur Toll-Gate.
It was raining mostly on the way to Cipanas. At about 3.15 PM we finally arrived at Cipanas and found the villa. Guess what?? Arrrggghhh, it was SO disappointing. It's very very different with our original thought. We thought it was A LOT better than the actual. Okay, after that we headed back to Bandung. Btw, while we left the villa, it was SOO foggy, the visibility was probably only about 3 meters. Dang It. Then, we had lunch at "Cianjur Fried Chicken". It sucked!! It was soo expensive... :( Btw, getting back to Bandung was a lot faster than the departure, hehe... :) At 6 PM we already arrived at Pasteur.
Because of the disappointment after having meal at the Fried Chicken Restaurant, we then had dinner at "Bakso Malang Cipaganti", hehe... :) It's a lot better... :)

Kalo Jumat kemarin aku nggak punya bahan buat ditulis, sekarang ada nih, hehehe....:) Pagi ini aku nemenin temenku buat survey villa tuh buat ngadain TA (Temu Akrab) Januari besok, hehehe... :) (iya, ini TA lagi, TA tahun ini kan diadain pada waktu ini). Jadi, jam 11 pagi kita berangkat dan pergi ke suatu tempat di deket Lembang. Nggak inget nih alamat pastinya, hehe.. . Villanya bagus lah menurutku. Cuma satu2nya masalah ya peraturan kalo ga boleh ada kegiatan setelah jam 9 malem. Ternyata, itu karena tetangga yang pernah komplain tuh tentangnya, haha...
Trus, karena masih jam 12 siang dan temenku dapet info ada villa bagus di Cipanas, ya udah deh, habis itu kita langsung ke Cipanas. FYI, Cipanas itu di deketnya Puncak, jadinya dari Bandung tuh setelah Cianjur dan sebelum Puncak Pass (liat deh peta di atas). Jaraknya sekitar 70km-an lah dari Bandung, tapi biasanya ya sekitar 2 jam buat kesana soale jalannya kan nanjak. Dan gimana?? Bandung macet buanget!! Masa tadi butuh sekitar 45 menit cuma buat keluar dari Bandung lewat Gerbang Tol Pasteur sih.
Nah, tadi tu seringnya ujan deh sepanjang jalan ke Cipanas. Sekitar jam 3.15an akhirnya sampe deh disana. Dan gimana?? Arrrggghhh, ternyata mengecewakan banget. Beda banget dah sama bayangan awal kita akan tempat itu. Kita pikir JAUH lebih baik daripada itu tuh. Oke deh, habis itu balik deh ke Bandung. Btw, waktu keluar dari villanya berkabut banget tuh, jarak pandangnya paling cuma 3 meter-an. Sialan. Trus, kita makan siang di "Ayam Goreng Cianjur". Menyebalkan banget!! Mahal ey... :( Btw, waktu balik Bandung lebih cepet loh daripada berangkatnya, hehe... :) Jam 6an sore akhirnya kita sampe deh di Pasteur.
Nah, karena kekecewaan habis makan di Restoran Ayam Goreng itu, trus kita makan malem deh di "Bakso Malang Cipaganti", hehe... :) Lumayan lah... :)
