Well, now I have finished reading Agatha Christie's The Big Four.
Plot Summary:
Captain Hastings came to London to visit his old friend, Hercule Poirot, only to find him in the middle of his chase of a group called The Big Four. The Big Four was an underground group led by four people: Li Chang Yen (number one, known as the brain of the group), Abe Ryland (number two, identity was revealed later, a rich American businessman), Madame Olivier (number three, identity was revealed later, a genius Frenchwoman professor), and number four who was known as "the destroyer" (his identity was revealed later near the end of the book). Poirot and Hastings met some problems on his plan but managed to escape from dangers in the end. In the end, he was able to destroy The Big Four.
Well, I think this novel is a lot better than Death In The Clouds (my review can be read here). It's not like a common detective story, but more like Dan Brown's novels, hahaha... ;) I think that's why I like it even more than DITC. Plus, this novel also highlighted Poirot's weakness side: his arrogancy.
However, for me, there is a big weakness on this novel. The ending was not exciting enough. I thought: "Well, that was it?". I mean, Poirot seemed to destroy The Big Four in a relatively easy way comparing to the greatness of The Big Four as mentioned earlier on the novel. I'm pretty sure that the novel could have been much more interesting if in the end The Big Four defended themselves and gave any counter attack, not just surrendered like that.
Overall, I still think this is a good novel and still better than DITC... ;)
::: quick update about Euro 2008 ::: (Mon 30th June 2008; 3:40 AM)
Finally Spain won Euro 2oo8 after beating Germany 1 - 0. Yea, at first I thought Germany would win after pressing Spain but that only happened on the first like 10 - 15 minutes... . That's fine tho, I'm not on any side, hahaha.... ;)

Hmm, sekarang aku sudah selesai membaca novelnya Agatha Christie yang The Big Four.
Ringkasan Cerita:
Kapten Hastings pergi ke London untuk mengunjungi sahabat lamanya, Hercule Poirot, dan akhirnya menemukannya sedang di dalam pengejarannya terhadap sebuah grup bernama The Big Four (Empat Besar). The Big Four adalah grup bawah tanah yang dipimpin oleh: Li Chang Yen (nomor sati, yang juga otak dari grup ini), Abe Ryland (nomor dua, identitas dikuak kemudian, seorang usahawan kaya asal Amerika), Madame Olivier (nomor tiga, identitas dikuak kemudian, seorang profesor kimia jenis dari Prancis), dan nomor empat yang dikenal sebagai "si penghancur" (identitasnya dikuak kemudian dekat-dekat akhir dari novel). Poirot dan Hastings menemui beberapa masalah dalam rencananya tapi berhasil untuk menyelamatkan diri dari behaya pada akhirnya. Pada akhirnya mereka berhasil menghancurkan The Big Four.
Hmm, aku rasa novel ini jauh lebih baik loh daripada Death In The Clouds (review ku bisa dibaca disini). Nggak kayak cerita detektif biasa lainnya, novel yg ini lebih mirip ke tipe-tipe novelnya Dan Brown tuh, hahaha... ;) Kayanya itu lah alasan kenapa koq aku lebih suka novel ini daripada DITC. Plus, novel ini juga menggaris-bawahi sifat buruknya Poirot: kesombongannya.
Namun, untuk aku, ada kelemahan besar dah di dalam novel ini. Ending-nya nggak cukup menarik dan seru. Aku berpikir: "Hah, gitu doang?". Maksudku, Poirot koq dalam menghancurkan The Big Four kesannya cenderung relatif mudah yah dibandingkan dengan kehebatan The Big Four seperti yang disebutkan di awal novel. Aku cukup yakin koq novelnya bisa menjadi jauh lebih seru andaikata akhirnya The Big Four melindungi dirinya dan memberikan perlawanan pada serangannya Poirot, nggak menyerah seperti itu.
Secara keseluruhan, aku rasa ini adalah novel yang bagus koq dan masih lebih baik daripada DITC... ;)

Akhirnya Spanyol memenangkan Euro 2008 setelah mengalahkan Jerman 1 - 0 di final. Ya, pertamanya kirain Jerman yang akan menguasai pertandingan soalnya mainnya menekan terus. Eh, kaya gitunya ternyata cuma sekitar 10 - 15 menit pertama doang... . Gpp sih, gak dukung siapa pun soalnya, hahaha... ;)

#550 - Wednesday (26/06)
ENGLISH
As you can read at my previous entry, last night I went back to Yogyakarta, hehehe... ;) O yea, since I have spent more time in Bandung than I expected before while I actually downgraded my internet connection last month (so I can only surf the net in Bandung only for 32 hours on June), yesterday I didn't surf the net that much. My credit was only 9 minutes remaining for yesterday. Damn!! But of course I still had to surf the net eventho I couldn't do blogwaking or so. Guess what?? By the end of the day, finally this month I can save credit for next month for: 3 SECONDS!! Wkwkwkwkwkw.... LOL
Okay, so yesterday after having a loong day I went to Bandung Railway Station. Learning from my experience this time where it was so hard to get a taxi (I didn't specify that on the entry tho, hehehe... :D) and lucky my friend could drop me, I already ordered a taxi on the morning so I didn't have to order one when it was the time to go to the station, hahaha... ;) The traffic was so jammed, a usual sight on Bandung during holiday time. I arrived at 6 PM and had dinner at Hoka-Hoka Bento first, hehehe
At 7 PM, Turangga Express departed from platform 1. Okay, so I executed my plan. I read my Agatha Christie's The Big Four. Of course it was so tiring and not good for my eyes reading on a train since it was a bit shaky. So what I did is that I took a break after reading some paragraphs, hahaha... ;) In the end, I managed to read 15 chapters before the train arrived at Yogyakarta Railway Station (I didn't sleep on board). Thus far, I think the novel is great, a lot better than Death In The Clouds I read this time.
O yea, the train sucked last night! It stopped a lot more frequently than it was supposed to. Daaammmnnn!!!! Of course, resulting it arrived late. It was scheduled to arrive at 2.10 AM but in fact it arrived at 2.50 AM!! Grrr.... . So far, it was the worst train ride I have had this year on term of schedule... :(
Then, when I went back home I planned to post an entry but I was surprised after finding that my computer is now being serviced!! Arrrggghhh!!! Okay, so now I use my laptop to surf the net...

Seperti yg bisa dibaca pada postingku sebelumnya, kemarin malam aku balik lagi ke Yogyakarta, hehehe... ;) O ya, karena kan aku sudah menghabiskan waktu di Bandung jauh lebih lama dari yang aku perkirakan sementara aku sudah menurunkan koneksi internetku bulan lalu (jadinya aku cuma bisa internetan selama 32 jam di Bandung bulan ini), kemarin aku nggak bisa internetan lama2. Sisa yang bisa kepake sampe kemarin pagi cuma 9 menit. Sial!! Tapi tentu saja dong aku nggak bisa nggak internetan tapi ya tetep nggak bisa blogwalking deh. Dan bagaimana? Sampai akhir hari kemarin akhirnya aku bisa menabung untuk bulan depan sebanyak: 3 DETIK!! Wkwkwkwkwkw.... LOL
Oke, jadi kemarin habis mengalami hari yang panjaang, sorenya aku ke Stasiun Kereta Bandung. Belajar dari pengalamanku pada waktu ini dimana kan susah banget tu untuk dapet taksinya (aku nggak menuliskannya di situ sih, hehehe... :D) dan untungnya waktu itu temenku bisa nganter, makanya kemarin aku memesan taksi udah dari paginya jadi kan kaga perlu pesen lagi tu malamnya waktu sudah saatnya berangkat ke stasiun, hahaha... ;) Lalu lintasnya macet, seperti biasanya deh kalo Bandung lagi liburan mah. Aku sampe jam 6 sore dan makan malam di Hoka-Hoka Bento dulu deh, hehehe
Jam 7 malam, Kereta Turangga berangkat dari jalur 1. Oke, kemudian aku menjalankan rencanaku. Aku membaca novelnya Agatha Christie yang The Big Four. Tentu saja melelahkan dan nggak bagus untuk mata waktu membaca di kereta soalnya kan goyang2 melulu. Jadinya aku ya istirahat aja setelah membaca setiap beberapa paragraf gitu, hahaha... :) Akhirnya, kemarin aku sudah membaca 15 bab deh sebelum keretanya sampai di Stasiun Kereta Yogyakarta (yup, aku nggak tidur di kereta). Sejauh ini novelya bagus banget loh, jauh lebih bagus daripada Death In The Clouds yang aku baca waktu ini.
O iya, keretanya menyebalkan sekali semalam! Keretanya berhenti sering banget daripada seharusnya. Siaaalll!!!! Tentu saja hal ini kan mengakibatkan sampenya juga telat. Jadwalnya sih harusnya keretanya udah nyampe jam 2.10 subuh tapi nyatanya baru nyampe jam 2.50 subuh!! Grrr... . Sejauh ini, semalam adalah naik kereta yang paling buruk deh bagi saya setahun ini dalam hal jadwal... :(
Trus, waktu aku balik ke rumah kan rencananya mau posting tu tapi aku terkejut waktu tau bahwa komputerku ternyata lagi diservis!! Arrrggghhh!!! Ya jadinya sekarang aku pake laptopku lagi deh untuk internetan...

#549 - Update About Me
ENGLISH
Lately I haven't written about my daily life, hahaha... ;) Yea, the problem is that there is nothing really to write down since my days in Bandung have just been ordinary. One update about me is that I have been suffering a flu, damn.... :( It's now a bit better but still it's not healed yet.
Anyway, finally I decide that tomorrow evening I'm going back to Yogyakarta catching Turangga Express. My original plan was actually that I'm going back to Yogyakarta on Friday. However, this evening I went to Bandung Railway Station to buy tickets but they said all executive class tickets for Friday on any train have been sold out!! Arrrrggghhhhh!!!! So I asked if there is any left for tomorrow (Thursday). She said there were still some seats left on Turangga and 1 left on Night Lodaya. I then chose to take the Turangga one, hahaha.... . Yea, now it's on peak season so it's kinda hard to get tickets.
I think tomorrow is gonnabe a pretty long day, hahaha... ;) I have some meetings on campus and of course some stuffs to execute while Turangga departs at 7 PM. Next week on Thursday I'm going back to Bandung again tho...
O yea, last week I bought Agatha Christie's The Big Four after her positive review of the book, hehehe... ;) Unfortunately I haven't had time to read it tho, damn. However, I think tomorrow on the train I'll try to read it since probably I'm going to have the same experience as I had this time where I couldn't sleep on board eventho actually I was pretty tired, hahaha... ;)
Wimbledon 2008
Btw, waaa, how could Novak Djokovic lose on the 2nd round of Wimbledon 2008?? Waaa....
Anyway, Ana Ivanovic had a tough game against Nathalie Dechy. Ivanovic in the end won with 6 - 7, 7 - 6, 10 - 8 (waaa!!!). The game was really exciting to watch

BAHASA INDONESIA
Akhir-akhir ini aku gak nulis tentang kehidupan sehari-hari yah, hahaha... ;) Ya masalahnya soalnya nggak terlalu ada yang spesial yang terjadi sih soalnya hari-hariku di Bandung juga rasanya biasa saja. Satu update tentang saya adalah aku uda berapa hari ini sakit flu nih (batuk pilek), sial... :( Sekarang sudah mendingan sih tetapi masih belum benar-benar sembuh.
Ngomong2, akhirnya aku memutuskan bahwa besok aku akan balik ke Yogyakarta nih naik Kereta Ekspres Turangga. Rencana awalku sih sebenernya aku baru akan balik ke Yogyakarta hari Jumat besok. Namun, sore tadi kan aku ke Stasiun Kereta Bandung untuk mencari tiket namun semua tiket eksekutif untuk hari Jumat sudah habis!! Arrrrggghhhhh!!!! Jadi aku nanya kalo ada yang tersisa untuk besok (Kamis). Katanya sih masih sisa sedikit di Turangga dan ada 1 untuk Lodaya Malam. Aku trus memilih yang Turangga deh, hahaha... . Ya, sekarang memang lagi musim ramai (peak season) sih makanya nyari tiketnya juga jadi agak susah.
Kayaknya besok akan jadi hari yang panjang, hahaha... ;) Ada beberapa rapat di kampus dan tentu saja beberapa hal untuk diselesaikan sementara Kereta Turangga berangkat jam 7 malam. Minggu depan hari Kamis aku akan balik ke Bandung lagi sih...
O iya, minggu lalu aku kan beli novelnya Agatha Christie yang The Big Four karena review positif-nya tentang buku ini, hehehe... ;) Sayangnya aku belum ada waktu untuk membacanya sih, sial. Namun, kayanya besok bisa deh membacanya di atas kereta soalnya kemungkinan aku akan mengalami pengalaman yang sama seperti yang aku dapat waktu ini dimana aku nggak bisa tidur di kereta padahal aku udah capek banget lho, hahaha... ;)
Wimbledon 2008
Btw, bujug dah, masak Novak Djokovic uda kalah sih di ronde ke-2 Wimbledon 2008?? Waaaa...
Ngomong2, Ana Ivanovic mengalami game yang sulit tuh melawan Nathalie Dechy. Akhirnya Ivanovic menang sih dengan skor 6 - 7, 7 - 6, 10 - 8 (waaa!!!). Pertandingannya benar2 menarik untuk ditonton tuh

#547 - Indonesian Idol s5
ENGLISH
Just like last year, I haven't really posted anything about the new season of Indonesian Idol (season 5) this year. If I was very disappointed last year, this year I even am more disappointed!! Arrrggghhhh!!!!!
I think, thus far, this season is the worst season of all, even a lot worse than last season. Last season eventho I felt overall the quality of the contestants was worse than all previous seasons, I still could pick some favorites (eventho I still didn't like them as much as I like some previous seasons' contestants (named Helena, Nania, Maria, etc)). But this year, there is noone in my list. I don't care about the show (this season) any more, hahaha... .
Some front-runner-considered contestants don't really impress me. A lot people (maybe) praise Aris but I just don't like him. I think he's overrated and not that great. The best (of the worsts), for me, is Aji. Even so, I still think his vocal is just okay, not that great, and I also don't like they way he sings (mumbling) but his stage act is cool. However, he's the most unique and risk-taker contestant this season and usually it works. Good for him.
None of the girls is great. All of them are just okay. No wonder the first three spectacular shows eliminated female contestants, hahaha... ;) Even, I think, the quality of the female contestants of Indonesian Idol this season is FAR BELOW the quality of some Mamamia's contestants in Indosiar this season. Some contestants of Mamamia have great vocals, nice technic, nice stage act, and great charisma. O yea, the interesting fact is that now Indosiar is brave enough to battle her Mamamia with Indonesian Idol! hahaha.... ;) They both air the show on the same time-slot. note: I only compare the female contestants since all contestants of Mamamia are teenage girls... ;)
I am still confused why the judges said the talents this season are the best out of all seasons. How come??? Well, maybe they don't refer to 'singing' talent but something other talents, hmmm....
If last year I felt some values of Indonesian Idol were disappeared, this year even more classy values are vanished!! Indonesian Idol this season is really different with the original concept I really like during its season one. This season, the theme song is not always sung on each spectacular show, and all those values, arrrggghhh.... . If last year I felt the show becoming more like AFI, well this season I think I can say it might be even worse than AFI.
Sad to say, hopefully next season (if the show is still renewed to its new season) is a lot better.
::: Top 12 Spectacular Show II 5
BAHASA INDONESIA
Seperti tahun lalu kan, aku blum pernah nulis apa pun tentang musim baru dari Indonesian Idol (musim 5) tahun ini. Jika aku sangat kecewa tahun lalu, tahun ini aku malah jauh lebih kecewa lagi!! Arrrggghhhh!!!!!
Aku rasa, sejauh ini, musim ini adalah musim terburuk dari semua season, jauh lebih buruk dari musim lalu. Season lalu walaupun aku merasa secara keseluruhan kualitas kontestannya menurun dibanding semua season sebelumnya, namun aku masih bisa memilih beberapa favorit (walau masih nggak sefavorit beberapa kontestan musim2 sebelumnya (misalnya Helena, Nania, Maria, dll)). Namun tahun ini, nggak ada satu pun dalam daftarku. Aku nggak ngurus lagi dah, hahaha... .
Beberapa yang-dianggap-sebagai-unggulan musim ini nggak membuat saya kagum. Banyak orang (mungkin) memuji banget Aris namun aku koq nggak suka yah. Menurutku dia dinilai terlalu baik dan nggak sebagus itu dah. Yang terbaik (dari yang terburuk) menurutku adalah Aji. Walau begitu, aku masih merasa suaranya nggak bagus2 amat, dan aku juga nggak suka caranya dia nyanyi yang kaya bergumam, tapi aksi panggungnya dia keren sih. Namun, dia adalah kontestan paling unik dan berani ambil resiko tahun ini dan biasanya berhasil deh. Bagus dah untuk dia.
Nggak ada satu pun kontestan perempuan yang bagus. Semuanya biasa saja. Ya nggak heran dah tiga babak spektakuler pertama mengeliminasi kontestan perempuan, hahaha... ;) Walau, aku rasa, kualitas kontestan perempuan Indonesian Idol musim ini JAUH DIBAWAH beberapa kontestan Mamamia di Indosiar musim ini. Beberapa kontestan Mamamia memiliki suara yang bagus, teknik yang matang, stage act yang baik, dan juga karisma. O ya, hal yang menarik adalah Indosiar sekarang berani lho mengadu Mamamia-nya dengan Indonesian Idol! hahaha.... ;) Mereka menayangkan kedua show pada jam yang sama. catatan: aku cuma membandingkan kontestan perempuan soalnya kan kontestannya Mamamia itu remaja perempuan semua... ;)
Aku masih bingung kenapa koq jurinya bilang talenta musim ini adalah yang terbaik yah. Koq bisa??? Hmm, mungkin mereka tidak merujuk pada talenta 'menyanyi' namun lebih ke talenta lain kali yah, hmmm....
Jika tahun lalu aku merasa beberapa nilai Indonesian Idol menghilang, tahun ini bahkan lebih banyak lagi nilai-nilai 'berkelas' yang hilang!! Indonesian Idol tahun ini berkonsep sangat jauh berbeda dari season satu. Musim ini, lagu theme song nya nggak selalu dinyanyikan di setiap spektakuler show, dan juga nilai2 itu, arrrggghhh.... . Kalau tahun lalu aku merasa show-nya menjadi seperti AFI, hmm, musim ini mungkin bisa aku katakan jadi lebih buruk dari AFI dah.
Sayang sih, semoga season depan (kalo misalnya show-nya diperbarui untuk season baru) menjadi jauh lebih baik

Season lalu walaupun aku merasa secara keseluruhan kualitas kontestannya menurun dibanding semua season sebelumnya, namun aku masih bisa memilih beberapa favorit (walau masih nggak sefavorit beberapa kontestan musim2 sebelumnya (misalnya Helena, Nania, Maria, dll)). Namun tahun ini, nggak ada satu pun dalam daftarku. Aku nggak ngurus lagi dah, hahaha... .
Beberapa yang-dianggap-sebagai-unggulan musim ini nggak membuat saya kagum. Banyak orang (mungkin) memuji banget Aris namun aku koq nggak suka yah. Menurutku dia dinilai terlalu baik dan nggak sebagus itu dah. Yang terbaik (dari yang terburuk) menurutku adalah Aji. Walau begitu, aku masih merasa suaranya nggak bagus2 amat, dan aku juga nggak suka caranya dia nyanyi yang kaya bergumam, tapi aksi panggungnya dia keren sih. Namun, dia adalah kontestan paling unik dan berani ambil resiko tahun ini dan biasanya berhasil deh. Bagus dah untuk dia.
Nggak ada satu pun kontestan perempuan yang bagus. Semuanya biasa saja. Ya nggak heran dah tiga babak spektakuler pertama mengeliminasi kontestan perempuan, hahaha... ;) Walau, aku rasa, kualitas kontestan perempuan Indonesian Idol musim ini JAUH DIBAWAH beberapa kontestan Mamamia di Indosiar musim ini. Beberapa kontestan Mamamia memiliki suara yang bagus, teknik yang matang, stage act yang baik, dan juga karisma. O ya, hal yang menarik adalah Indosiar sekarang berani lho mengadu Mamamia-nya dengan Indonesian Idol! hahaha.... ;) Mereka menayangkan kedua show pada jam yang sama. catatan: aku cuma membandingkan kontestan perempuan soalnya kan kontestannya Mamamia itu remaja perempuan semua... ;)
Aku masih bingung kenapa koq jurinya bilang talenta musim ini adalah yang terbaik yah. Koq bisa??? Hmm, mungkin mereka tidak merujuk pada talenta 'menyanyi' namun lebih ke talenta lain kali yah, hmmm....
Jika tahun lalu aku merasa beberapa nilai Indonesian Idol menghilang, tahun ini bahkan lebih banyak lagi nilai-nilai 'berkelas' yang hilang!! Indonesian Idol tahun ini berkonsep sangat jauh berbeda dari season satu. Musim ini, lagu theme song nya nggak selalu dinyanyikan di setiap spektakuler show, dan juga nilai2 itu, arrrggghhh.... . Kalau tahun lalu aku merasa show-nya menjadi seperti AFI, hmm, musim ini mungkin bisa aku katakan jadi lebih buruk dari AFI dah.
Sayang sih, semoga season depan (kalo misalnya show-nya diperbarui untuk season baru) menjadi jauh lebih baik

#545 - Early Week
ENGLISH
Okay, as you can read at this entry, yesterday (Monday) I had an inauguration ceremony at my campus as becoming a member of student councils in my campus (becoming the head of mathematics student council for the new period). It was a formal ceremony (of course), and I gotta wear white shirt, a tie, black pants, pantofel shoes, haha... :) It was really formal and I think I am suit wearing formal wears, wkwkwkwkw... LOL (narcist). There are actually some photos (because those pics will be published in this year's PM's bulletin) but none of them is taken by me so for now I won't upload it (them), hehe... . (beside I only have 1 file for now)
Anyway, I actually now have a plan to live a healthier life (tsah!!). My plan for my dinner at Bandung: (yea, only at Bandung since here I can handle my appetite, hahaha...)
"only eat couple of fruits (probably apples) for dinner"
So, to execute this will, yesterday when I went to a supermarket I bought 5 apples. Last night I ate 1 (but not for dinner since I bought that apples AFTER my dinner at KFC, wkwkwkwkw... LOL). I planned to have an inaugural dinner today BUT it didn't work, haha... :) Because of only having a quick brunch this morning, I was so starving for dinner and I ended up at Hoka-Hoka Bento, wkwkwkwkw.... LOL. Arrrggghhh, I hope it can start working tomorrow!! :)
Anyway, yeah!! On July Star World is gonna air The Apprentice LA (season six). YEEAAAHHH!!! hahaha... :)

Oke, seperti yang bisa dibaca pada posting ini, kemarin (Senin) kan ada Upacara Pelantikan gitu di kampus soalnya kan menjadi salah satu pengurus Persatuan Mahasiswa di kampus (menjadi Ketua Himpunan Mahasiswa Jurusan Matematika) gitu dah untuk periode yang baru. Acaranya jelas dong resmi banget, dan harus mengenakan kemeja putih, dasi, celana hitam, dan sepatu pantofel, haha... :) Bener2 formal dan baru nyadar ternyata aku cocok juga yah pake pakaian formal, wkwkwkwkw... LOL (narsis). Ada beberapa foto sih sebenarnya (soalnya foto2 itu akan dimasukin di Buletin PM tahun ini kayanya mah) tapi nggak satu pun yang diambil oleh saia jadi untuk sekarang sih aku belum bisa menguploadnya, hehe... . (di samping aku juga baru cuma punya 1 file koq sekarang)
Ngomong2, aku sebenernya ada rencana loh untuk hidup yang lecih sehat (halah!!). Rencana saia untuk makan malam di Bandung: (iya, di Bandung doang soalnya seharusnya bisa lebih menahan hawa nafsu makan sih, hahaha...)
"hanya makan beberapa buah (mungkin apel) sebagai makan malam"
Jadi, untuk mewujudkan niat ini, kemarin aku pergi ke supermarket beli 5 buah apel. Kemarin malam makan 1 biji (bukan buat makan malam soalnya kan baru ke supermarketnya SETELAH makan malam di KFC, wkwkwkwkw... LOL). Aku berencana untuk memulai deh percobaan hari ini TAPI nggak jadi deh, haha... :) Soalnya kan aku cuma makan dikit nih tadi pagi (digabung ni makan pagi dan makan siangnya tadi), dan jadinya kelaparan banget deh sorenya dan malah makan di Hoka-Hoka Bento, wkwkwkwkw.... LOL. Arrrggghhh, Semoga bisa dimulai besok dah!! :)
Ngomong2, yeah!! Mulai Juli Star World akan menayangkan The Apprentice LA (season enam) nih. YEEAAAHHH!!! hahaha... :)

#544 - Bandung (Again)
ENGLISH
Well, finally today I get back to Bandung again, hahaha... :) It's actually kinda tiring tho traveling back and forth between Yogyakarta and Bandung catching train. It's a different story if there's a flight between these 2 cities, just like the one Merpati had until half a year ago. Damn Merpati, I hope they will reactivate this flight really soon, hahaha... :)
This Sunday I got up pretty early at 6.15 AM in the morning to go to the church to have the mass liturgy at 7 AM. After the liturgy, my family and I had breakfast at Soto Kadipiro. Then, we went back home. Since I was still so sleepy so I took a not-so-good nap until 11 AM, hahaha... :) At 12 PM my mom and my bro dropped me at Yogyakarta Tugu Railway Station. At 12.32 PM Argo Wilis departed and left Yogyakarta. The trip was just usual. At about 7. 30 PM the train arrived at Bandung Railway Station. Later, I bought a pizza at Pizza Hut
O yea, yesterday I ate the tastiest Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream IMO, a crispy sandwich, hehehe... ;) It's really really delicious (yea, no wonder it's expensive, abour Rp 48,000.00 each...)
::: A Caramel Crispy Sandwich Ice Cream I ate yesterday. It was super tasty (but also pretty expensive, hahaha... :D)

BAHASA INDONESIA
Hmm, akhirnya sekarang ada di Bandung lagi nih, hahaha... :) Sebenernya cukup melelahkan juga nih bepergian bolak-balik di antara dua kota Yogyakarta dan Bandung naik kereta. Lain cerita dong kalo misalnya ada penerbangan di antara dua kota ini kaya yang dimiliki Merpati sampai setengah tahun yang lalu. Dasar Merpati sial, semoga mereka segera mengaktifkan rute ini segera dah, hahaha... :)
Minggu ini aku bangun lumayan pagi, jam 6.15 pagi untuk pergi ke gereja untuk ikut misa yang jam 7 pagi. Habis misa kita makan pagi di Soto Kadipiro. Trus kita balik ke rumah. Karena masih cukup mengantuk jadinya aku tidur yang nggak nyenyak deh sampe jam 11, hahaha... :) Jam 12 aku dianter mamaku sama adikku ke Stasiun Kereta Tugu Yogyakarta. Jam 12.32 siang keretanya (Argo Wilis) berangkat dan meninggalkan Yogyakarta. Perjalannya biasa saja sih. Sekitar jam 7.30 malam keretanya tiba di Stasiun Kereta Bandung. Malamnya aku beli pizza di Pizza Hut
O iya, kemarin aku makan Ice Cream-nya Haagen-Dazs yang menurutku paling enak loh, crispy sandwich, hehehe... ;) Bener2 benak banget dah (iya lah, nggak heran harganya juga mahal, satunya Rp 48.000,00an tuh...)

#543 - Quick Summary
ENGLISH
Okay, there has been nothing really special happened lately. Anyway, next Sunday I'm going back to Bandung again, hahaha... :) I'm catching Argo Wilis Express. The reason I'm going back to Bandung is because next Monday there will be an inauguration for the new student councils at my campus.
To attend that ceremony I need white shirts, black pants, and a tie!! Wah!! I don't have any tie, LOL. At first I planned to look for a tie at Malioboro Mall today but then I realized that I actually could borrow one of my dad's, wkwkwkwkw... lol. Okay, since I don't have any black formal pants then I gotta buy one since the one my bro has will be used next Sunday (he's attending his friend's 17th birthday party). Okay, so I bought one and in the end I ended up also buying a white shirt (since my old white shirt is in Bandung and the last time I wore it was 2 years ago and I think it's now dirty, LOL. I don't have time to wash it since next Monday I gotta wear it).
O yea, last Wednesday I ate Mie Jawa/Javanese Noodle (I bought from the seller who passes my home almost every evening). The taste is a lot better than Mie Jawa I ate at Bandung this time
::: Mie Jawa Seller who passes my home almost every evening

Oke, kagak ada yang spesial nih yg terjadi belakangan ini. Ngomong2, Minggu besok aku akan balik ke Bandung lagi loh, hahaha... ;) Aku akan naik Kereta Ekspres Argo Wilis lagi. Alasan aku balik ke Bandung adalah soalnya besok Senin kan akan ada acara pelantikan pengurus Persatuan Mahasiswa yang baru di kampus.
Untuk menghadirinya saia membutuhkan kemeja putih, celana panjang hitam, dan dasi!! Wah!! Kan aku kaga punya dasi nih, LOL. Pertama sih tadi berencana mau beli dasi di Malioboro Mall tapi akhirnya kagak jadi soalnya baru inget kan bisa aja aku pinjem dasinya papaku, wkwkwkwkwkw... lol. Oke, karena aku kaga ada celana panjang hitam formal ya udah deh aku mesti beli soalnya celana panjang hitam nya adikku akan dipake dia besok Minggu (kan dia mau dateng ke Ulang Tahun ke 17 temennya). Oke, jadi aku beli satu dan entah kenapa akhirnya juga beli kemeja putih sekalian (soalnya kemeja putihku yang lama di Bandung terakhir aku pakai 2 tahun yang lalu dan kayanya udah kotor banget dah, LOL. Kan kaga ada waktu buat nyuci nih soalnya Senin kan harus dipakai).
O iya, Rabu kemarin kan aku makan Mie Jawa dari penjual yang sering bgt lewat depan rumah kalo tiap malam. Rasanya jauh banget lebih enak daripada Mie Jawa yang aku beli di Bandung waktu ini

#541 - Over The Weekend
ENGLISH
As you can read at my previous entry, yesterday I went on a diklat from my campus. Last Sunday I got up at 4.50 AM and prepared everything (including having breakfast (a burger) since I thought I had to eat first before going). I walked to my campus (since it was still too early in the morning I gotta go around pretty far since the shortcut's gate is still closed at that time) at 5.30 AM. At 5.45 AM I arrived at the place where we gotta gather. Then, we waited and waited and we were still there. We had breakfast first (nasi kuning) and departed at 7.30 AM (arrrrgggghhhh, if only I had known that we departed at 7.30 AM, I didn't have to get up that early in the morning!!). Hahaha.... ;)
Apparently, the mysterious place (yea, we weren't let to know where we were going before Sunday morning) was Ciater Resort. We arrived there at 8.30 AM. Well, mainly on the first day we just played games all day long. I had played some of them before tho, but it's still pretty fun, hahaha... ;) At some games we really gotta 'use' our brain to win, huahahahahaha... LOL. The second day we only had 1 program, a lecture. It was late and the lunch was late causing we also was late on going back to Bandung. Today we arrived at 2.15 PM.
Anyway, actually I had a plan to go back to Yogyakarta next Wednesday and went back to Bandung again next Sunday. However, last week I considered it and thought that probably this week I would be better staying here in Bandung, since last week because I was in Jogja I didn't attend an OSPEK meeting (just in case there is/are meeting(s) this week). But this afternoon I got an information that there will be no meeting this week!! Hmmm... . What should I do then?? I have nothing to do in Bandung actually. Hmmmm....

Seperti yang bisa dibaca pada posting sebelumnya, kemarin aku pergi mengiktui diklat dari kampus. Hari Minggu kemarin aku bangun jam 4.50 subuh dan menyiapkan semuanya (termasuk makan pagi (burger) soale aku rasa penting tuh untuk makan dulu sebelum pergi). Aku jalan ke kampus (karena masih pagi-pagi buta kaya gitu aku harus memutar lumayan jauh juga soalnya gerbang jalan pintasnya jam segitu kan masih ditutup) jam 5.30 pagi. Jam 5.45 pagi aku nyampe di tempat berkumpulnya. Trus kita menunggu dan menunggu dan kita masih ada disana. Kita trus makan pagi dulu (nasi kuning) trus baru berangkatnya jam 7.30 pagi (arrrrgggghhhh, jika saja aku tau kita baru akan berangkat jam 7.30 pagi, kan aku jadinya kaga harus bangun sepagi itu!!). Hahaha.... ;)
Ternyata, tempat misterinya (iya, kita nggak dikasi tau tu sebelum Minggu pagi kita mau pergi kemana) adalah Ciater Resort. Kita sampe disana jam 8.30 pagi. Hmm, secara umum hari pertama acaranya kebanyakan adalah permainan. Aku uda pernah mainin beberapa game sebelumnya sih, tp masih cukup fun juga koq, hahaha... ;) Pada beberapa game kita harus 'menggunakan otak' untuk memenangkannya, huahahahahaha... LOL. Hari kedua cuma ada 1 acara doang, kuliah gitu. Kuliahnya telat dan makan siangnya telat jadinya kita harus balik ke Bandungnya juga telat. Tadi baru nyampe jam 2.15 siang.
Ngomong2, sebenernya awalnya bgt aku uda berencana mau balik ke Yogyakarta besok Rabu dan balik lagi ke Bandung besok Minggu. Namun, minggu lalu aku mempertimbangkannya dan aku berpikir mungkin akan lebih baik kalo seminggu ini aku di Bandung aja deh, soale minggu lalu waktu aku di Jogja aku juga kaga ikutan sebuah rapat OSPEK (kan sapa tau minggu ini akan ada rapat gitu). Tapi siang tadi aku dapet info kalo katanya minggu ini kaga akan ada rapat sama sekali!! Hmmm... . Gimana yah enaknya?? Aku nggak ada yang dikerjakan di Bandung ni sebenarnya. Hmmmm....
VOTE BUAT INDONESIA!!
Klik link berikut ini: http://www.new7wonders.com/nature/en/liveranking/ trus ikutan polling-nya tuh untuk memilih Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia (Alami). Vote buat Indonesia yah, Indonesia diwakili sama 3 tempat: Danau Toba, Gunung Krakatau, dan Pulau Komodo. Polling ini untuk memilih 21 besar nominasi, kemudian dari 21 besar itu baru dipilih 7 keajaiban dunia. Oya, polling dibuka sampai akhir tahun ini. (kita harus memilih 7 tempat sekali vote, yang 3 jelas pilih Indonesia aja, sisanya terserah tapi pilih yang lemah saja biar Indonesia masuk, wkwkwkw... LOL)

I had played some of them before tho, but it's still pretty fun, hahaha... ;) At some games we really gotta 'use' our brain to win, huahahahahaha... LOL. The second day we only had 1 program, a lecture. It was late and the lunch was late causing we also was late on going back to Bandung. Today we arrived at 2.15 PM.
Anyway, actually I had a plan to go back to Yogyakarta next Wednesday and went back to Bandung again next Sunday. However, last week I considered it and thought that probably this week I would be better staying here in Bandung, since last week because I was in Jogja I didn't attend an OSPEK meeting (just in case there is/are meeting(s) this week). But this afternoon I got an information that there will be no meeting this week!! Hmmm... . What should I do then?? I have nothing to do in Bandung actually. Hmmmm....

Seperti yang bisa dibaca pada posting sebelumnya, kemarin aku pergi mengiktui diklat dari kampus. Hari Minggu kemarin aku bangun jam 4.50 subuh dan menyiapkan semuanya (termasuk makan pagi (burger) soale aku rasa penting tuh untuk makan dulu sebelum pergi). Aku jalan ke kampus (karena masih pagi-pagi buta kaya gitu aku harus memutar lumayan jauh juga soalnya gerbang jalan pintasnya jam segitu kan masih ditutup) jam 5.30 pagi. Jam 5.45 pagi aku nyampe di tempat berkumpulnya. Trus kita menunggu dan menunggu dan kita masih ada disana. Kita trus makan pagi dulu (nasi kuning) trus baru berangkatnya jam 7.30 pagi (arrrrgggghhhh, jika saja aku tau kita baru akan berangkat jam 7.30 pagi, kan aku jadinya kaga harus bangun sepagi itu!!). Hahaha.... ;)
Ternyata, tempat misterinya (iya, kita nggak dikasi tau tu sebelum Minggu pagi kita mau pergi kemana) adalah Ciater Resort. Kita sampe disana jam 8.30 pagi. Hmm, secara umum hari pertama acaranya kebanyakan adalah permainan. Aku uda pernah mainin beberapa game sebelumnya sih, tp masih cukup fun juga koq, hahaha... ;) Pada beberapa game kita harus 'menggunakan otak' untuk memenangkannya, huahahahahaha... LOL. Hari kedua cuma ada 1 acara doang, kuliah gitu. Kuliahnya telat dan makan siangnya telat jadinya kita harus balik ke Bandungnya juga telat. Tadi baru nyampe jam 2.15 siang.
Ngomong2, sebenernya awalnya bgt aku uda berencana mau balik ke Yogyakarta besok Rabu dan balik lagi ke Bandung besok Minggu. Namun, minggu lalu aku mempertimbangkannya dan aku berpikir mungkin akan lebih baik kalo seminggu ini aku di Bandung aja deh, soale minggu lalu waktu aku di Jogja aku juga kaga ikutan sebuah rapat OSPEK (kan sapa tau minggu ini akan ada rapat gitu). Tapi siang tadi aku dapet info kalo katanya minggu ini kaga akan ada rapat sama sekali!! Hmmm... . Gimana yah enaknya?? Aku nggak ada yang dikerjakan di Bandung ni sebenarnya. Hmmmm....
VOTE BUAT INDONESIA!!
Klik link berikut ini: http://www.new7wonders.com/nature/en/liveranking/ trus ikutan polling-nya tuh untuk memilih Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia (Alami). Vote buat Indonesia yah, Indonesia diwakili sama 3 tempat: Danau Toba, Gunung Krakatau, dan Pulau Komodo. Polling ini untuk memilih 21 besar nominasi, kemudian dari 21 besar itu baru dipilih 7 keajaiban dunia. Oya, polling dibuka sampai akhir tahun ini. (kita harus memilih 7 tempat sekali vote, yang 3 jelas pilih Indonesia aja, sisanya terserah tapi pilih yang lemah saja biar Indonesia masuk, wkwkwkw... LOL)
