ENGLISHWell, recently, problems have been around me, dang, haha... :( Beside the 23 credits problem which really frustrates me (because probably it's the biggest problem this month), there are some other problems I gotta handle. Well, probably the burden is not a hard as I had last April tho, but still, they can potentially frustrate me, haha... . Anyway, finally I see a little shimmering light on the 23 credits problem, hopefully it's a good signOne recent problem was written on my private blog last week, some other problems also occurred. Some of them probably will be written also on my private blog, haha... ;) Yesterday, another relatively minor problem occurred. Dang. When I was about to accompany my friends (of course I was about to drive my car), I just realized that I got a flat-tire!! DANG!!! Why, Why??? Grrrr.... . Oyea, the last time I got a flat-tire was this time, almost 1.5 years ago.That's fine tho. At least, handling all of these problems, hopefully I will get used to them and I won't be shocked when I enter the "Real" World later!! haha... . Because seriously, some people try to avoid problems (and causing other (unnecessary) problems to rise and other people gotta do extra works to solve those problems) which truly is not the best way to handle them since we won't learn anything by doing that. The best way is (I think, CMIIW) to face and solve them!! hahaha... :)
::: Flat-tire
BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, akhir2 ini, masalah2 koq selalu muncul sih, haha... :( Selain masalah 23 sks yang bener2 bikin pusing dan frustasi itu (soalnya sepertinya masalah ini adalah masalah terbesar bulan ini deh), ada beberapa masalah lain yang harus aku urus. Hmm, mungkin bebannya nggak seberat beban yang harus aku panggul April kemarin sih, tapi tetep aja kan bikin stress, haha... . Ngomong2, akhirnya aku melihat secercah cahaya kecil dalam masalah 23 sks, semoga ini merupakan pertanda baik.Satu masalah sudah pernah aku tulis di blog private minggu lalu, beberapa masalah lain juga muncul. Beberapa di antaranya mungkin akan aku tulis di blog private juga, haha... ;) Kemarin, satu masalah yang relatif kecil juga muncul. Sial. Waktu mau nganter temen (tentu aja kan aku mesti naik mobil), eh aku baru nyadar kalo ban mobil saya bocor!! SIAL!!! Kenapa, kenapa??? Grrrr.... . Oya, terakhir ban mobilku bocor tu adalah waktu ini, hampir 1,5 tahun yg lalu.Hmm, gapapa sih. Paling nggak, dengan mengurus semua masalah2 ini, moga2 aku jadi terbiasa dengan tekanan2 itu dan nggak akan terkejut banget waktu memasuki Dunia "Nyata" nanti!! haha... . Soalnya, serius nih, banyak kan orang yang memilih untuk menghindari masalah (dan malah membuat masalah (nggak perlu) lainnya untuk muncul dan orang lain jadi harus bekerja ekstra untuk menyelesaikannya) yang tentu bukan cara terbaik untuk berhadapan dengannya. Cara terbaik (menurutku, CMIIW) ya dengan menghadapinya dan berusaha mengatasinya!! hahaha... :)
ENGLISHWell, now the 23 credits problem shows a little 'light of hope'. Still, it's still a bit far away from being 'solved', hmmm... . One problem is solved then another new problem followed! Dang!! Hopefully this week I really can solve this one!! hahaha... ;) Fire!!!Anyway, I have nothing to write actually, haha... . Because of her, yesterday I wanted to eat soto, LOL. So I had breakfast at Soto Semarang yesterday morning, hahaha... . Anyway, this week has been tough for aviation. Several aviation accidents happened!! Hmmm, it started with SpanAir's MD82 accident just after taking off from Barajas Airport, Spain; then ItekAir's Boeing 737-200 accident in Kyrgisthan; then Philippines Air Force's Hercules C-140 in Mindanao, then Sun-Air's Boeing 737-200 highjacking; then the last one was in Indonesia: Sriwijaya Air's Boeing 737-2H6/Adv reg code PK-CJG overrunning the runway in Sultan Thaha Airport, Jambi. Whatta week!! Hmmmm...

Photo courtesy of SCTVBAHASA INDONESIAHmm, sekarang masalah 23 sks-nya menunjukkan 'secercah harapan'. Walau begitu, masih jauh nih dari bisa dikatakan masalah teratasi, hmmm... . Satu masalah beres eh koq malah muncul masalah lain! Sial!! Semoga benar2 bisa terselesaikan minggu ini deh!! hahaha... ;) Semangat!!!Ngomong2, gak ada bahan untuk ditulis nih sebenarnya, haha... . Namun gara2 dia, kemarin aku jadi pingin soto kan, LOL. Makanya kemarin pagi makan Soto Semarang deh, hahaha... . Ngomong2, minggu ini beneran berat deh untuk industri penerbangan. Beberapa kecelakaan penerbangan terjadi!! Hmmm, dimulai dengan kecelakaan MD82 maskapai SpanAir setelah lepas landas di Bandara Barajas, Spanyol; kemudian kecelakaan Boeing 737-200 Itek Air di Kirgistan; kemudian kecelakan Hercules C-130 Angkatan Udara Filipina di Mindanao; lalu pembajakan pesawat Boeing 737-200 Sun Air; kemudian yang terakhir di Indonesia: pesawat Boeing 737-2H6/Adv-nya Sriwijaya Air kode registrasi PJ-CJG yang overrunning landasan pacu Bandara Sultan Thaha, Jambi. Gila banget dah!! Hmmmm...
ENGLISHWell, today has really been tiring. My lecture started at 7 AM and finished at 5 PM, dang it. My first lecture was Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian Language). On the first meeting this morning, there was a quiz! Dang!! Lucky I wasn't absent this morning, LOL. Well, the score wasn't used, but still twas surprising, haha. Well, the subject was just like one we got on high-school, haha...Then, at 10 AM I got my second class which was Aesthetics. We gotta watch a movie with no dialog and no for 1.5 hours and gotta define what Aesthetics is based on that. Wtf. I was tired and sleepy and caused I got a bit bored (eventho I still managed to watch the movie and did the assignment, haha... :D). Anyway, the 23 credits problem is still remained unsolved, dang. Now, it even gets more complicated and this thing kinda frustrates me right now, grrr... . Even so, I still have a hope that I can get it my way (hopefully, haha...)BAHASA INDONESIAHmmm, hari ini benar2 melelahkan sekali deh. Kuliah ku tadi dimulai jam 7 pagi dan baru selesai jam 5 sore, sial. Kuliah pertamaku adalah Bahasa Indonesia. Masa di pertemuan pertama pagi tadi udah ada kuis seh! Sial!! Untung kaga bolos tadi, LOL. Hmm, walau nilainya memang gak dimasukkan tapi kan tetap aja mengagetkan, haha. Mata Kuliahnya ya gitu deh, seperti di SMA, haha...Trus jam 10 pagi tadi aku ada kuliah Estetika. Masa kita harus nonton sebuah film tanpa dialog dan tanpa jalan cerita (bujug dah) selama 1,5 jam dan kita harus mendefinisikan apa itu Estetika berdasarkan film. Wtf. Aku capek bgt tadi dan rada ngantuk makanya jelas merasa bosan (walau aku masih bisa tetap nonton film-nya dan mengerjakan tugas, haha... :D). Ngomong2, masalah 23 sks-nya masih belum beres nih, siyal. Malah, sekarang jadi bertambah rumit deh dan jadi agak membuat frustasi juga, grrr... . Walau begitu aku masih berharap semoga bisa dapat apa yang aku mau (moga2 beneran, haha...)
ENGLISHNow I'm so exhausted. Today was the last day of my Department Orientation Week and I also gotta supervise it, hahaha... . I'm really glad that all programs went smoothly, eventhough one incident (one ospekee (LOL) faked one lecturer's signature, hmmm) caused one program went a bit late, haha... . But overall it went smoothly and the closing program went just as we hoped to, hahaha... .Anyway, I think this week my 23 credits problem should have been solved, hmmm... . Hopefully I get it my way, haha...Arrrgghh, now I'm very exhausted. Plus, tomorrow I still gotta submit a homework, dang
::: J.Co Donuts I bought last week
::: Pizza I bought this weekendBAHASA INDONESIASekarang lagi capek banget neh. Hari ini adalah hari terakhir dari Ospek Jurusan ku dan tentu saja dong aku ikut mengawasinya, hahaha... . Aku seneng bgt semua program berjalan dengan baik, walau satu insiden (satu yg diospek memalsukan tanda tangan salah satu dosen, hmmm) membuat sebuah acara jadi ngaret, haha... . Namun secara keseluruhan acaranya berjalan dengan lancar dan acara penutupannya berjalan sesuai dengan keinginan kita, hahaha... .Ngomong2, aku rasa minggu ini permasalahan 23 sks-ku seharusnya terpecahkan nih, hmmm... . Semoga berjalan sesuai dengan harapanku sih, haha...Arrrgghh, sekarang beneran dah capek banget. Padahal besok mesti ngumpul 1 PR lagi, siyal

ENGLISHThese two days I had 2 lectures which started at 7 AM!! hahaha... . Anyway, yesterday morning I was so 'tricked', LOL. Well, my first lecture was 7 AM in the morning. I got up at 6.20 AM and left my boarding house at around 6.50 AM. I was so hurry since twas gonnabe my first lecture with new lecturer, so I didn't want to be late for too long, hahaha... . That lecture would be held at the 6th floor. At my campus, when we arrived at my building, we are at SB (Semi Basement) which is 1 level under the 1st floor. Guess what?? At that time yesterday so many Economy Students were queuing for the lift!! Dang It!! Time was ticking and so I decided to just run to the 6th floor!! (which for sure was tiring) >> at least I had an exercise in the morning which some people say it's good for health, LOL. After arriving at the 6th floor, the room was still empty. My friends then came and we waited. Apparently, the class was canceled (because the lecturer is sick and now is treated at the hospital)!! Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!! Well, my next lecture for yesterday was at 2 PM. Lucky I went back home at around 11 AM (at first I planned to wait on my campus until 2 PM which means I gotta wait for 7 hours!). I was lucky because the 2 PM class was also canceled!! haha... . So, technically, my first lecture was this morning. Anyway, about the 23 credits problem, I dunno what to do again. Each day it's getting even more complicated!! Hmmm.... . This problem really frustrates me!! Grrr... :( Hopefully I can get itBAHASA INDONESIADua hari ini aku ada kuliah yang semuanya dimulai jam 7 pagi neh!! hahaha... . Ngomong2, kemarin pagi aku bener2 'dikerjain' deh, LOL. Kan kuliah pertamaku jam 7 pagi tuh. Nah, aku bangun jam 6.20 pagi dan meninggalkan kos jam 6.50 pagi. Aku keburu-buru soalnya kan kemarin akan menjadi kuliah pertama dan dosennya belum pernah ngajar aku, makanya aku nggak mau telat kelamaan, hahaha... . Nah, kuliahnya akan diadakan di lantai 6 tuh. Di kampusku, ketika tiba di gedungku, kita akan berada di lantai SB (Semi-Basement) yang berada 1 lantai di bawah lantai 1. Dan bagaimana?? Waktu kemarin pagi itu banyak banget anak ekonomi yang antri lift!! Sialan!! Waktu kan terus berjalan dan makanya aku memutuskan untuk lari aja deh ke lantai 6!! (yang tentu saja dong melelahkan) >> paling gak udah olahraga deh pagi2 kan katanya sehat, LOL. Habis sampe di lantai 6 eh kelasnya masih kosong. Trus temenku datang dan kita nunggu. Ternyata kelasnya dibatalkan (karena dosennya sakit dan di-opname di rumah sakit)!! Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!! Hmm, kuliah selanjutnya untuk kemarin adalah jam 2 siang. Untung aku balik ke kos lho jam 11 pagi (pertamanya aku mau menunggu di kampus aja deh sampe jam 2 siang berarti kan nunggu 7 jam tuh!). Untung soalnya ternyata kelas jam 2 juga dibatalkan!! haha... . Jadi, secara teknis tadi pagi adalah kuliah pertamaku deh. Ngomong2, tentang masalah 23 sks tersebut, gatau neh mesti gimana lagi. Semakin hari koq malah semakin rumit saja sih!! Hmmm.... . Masalah ini bikin stress neh!! Grrr... :( Semoga aku bisa mendapatkannya
ENGLISHAnyway, eventually today my 2.5 months holiday officially is over. Damn. Eventho I didn't really have that 2.5 months holiday (probably just about 1 month a bit more since I gotta go back Bandung - Yogyakarta to take care of some stuffs related to the Department Student Council Thingy, hmmm...). Tomorrow I'm gonna go back to my 5th semester routine college life, hahaha... . Damn, tomorrow my first lecture is gonnabe at 7 AM (arrrggghh, soo morning, LOL). About the 23 credits thingy, well, Wish Me Luck and The Best!! I gotta work on that this week!! Hmmm... . For example of my problem: I have 2 lectures which will start at 7 AM tomorrow: Indonesian Language and Linear Control. It means that I gotta release one of them if the schedule stays the same, hmmm... . I gotta make sure first about all the scheduling, hmmm... .Anyway, today I also supervised the third day of Ospek Jurusan (Department Orientation Week) in my department. It was fun, but also tiring, hahaha... . BAHASA INDONESIAPada akhirnya, hari ini liburan 2,5 bulan ku usai sudah secara resmi. Sial. Walau sebenernya liburanku nggak ada 2,5 bulan sih (mungkin cuma 1 bulan lebih dikit soale aku kan harus bolak-balik Bandung - Yogyakarta mulu neh untuk mengurus hal2 yang berhubungan sama Himpunan Mahasiswa, hmmm....). Besok aku akan balik ke kegiatan rutin kuliah di semester 5, hahaha... . Sial, masa besok kuliah pertamaku jam 7 pagi sih (arrrggghh, koq pagi amat seh, LOL). Oya, tentang 23 sks itu, Doakan Saya yang Terbaik yah!! Aku harus mengurusnya nih minggu ini!! Hmmm... . Contoh masalahku mengenai hal ini: Aku harusnya besok pagi ada 2 kuliah yang dimulai jam 7 pagi: Bahasa Indonesia dan Kontrol Linear. Hmm, artinya kan aku harus melepas salah satu jika jadwalnya tetap begini, hmmm.... . Aku harus memastikan jadwalnya dulu sih, hmmm... .Ngomong2, hari ini aku juga mengawasi hari ketiga dari Ospek Jurusan di jurusanku neh. Menyenangkan sih tapi sekaligus melelahkan, hahaha... .
ENGLISHWell, now I'm very tired. Supervising Ospek Jurusan (Department Orientation Week) has been so tiring, hahaha... . However, above that, the most important thing is that so far it has been good and no big problem occured. I'm not saying there's no weakness or what but, those things didn't effect the continuity of the program, hahaha...Well, now I'm also so nervous about this 5th semester. I dunno but some schedules just don't cooperate really well. However, the worst part is that there might be a chance I gotta release 2 subjects (because of that unfriendly schedule) while there is only 1 subject to replace. I really need this 23 credits this semester so I can take Seminar next semester. Well, maybe I gotta take some subjects outside my department tho, hahaha... . Wish Me Luck!! ;)Anyway, today is my bro's 17th Birthday!! Happy B'Day!! hahaha... ;) Anyway, tomorrow is also Indonesia's 63th Anniversary. Well, let's just hope for the best!! :)BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, sekarang aku capek banget nih. Mengawasi Ospek Jurusan ternyata melelahkan sekali, hahaha... . Namun, di atas itu semua, yang penting acaranya berjalan dengan lancar sih sejauh ini dan nggak ada masalah yang besar yang muncul. Aku nggak berkata acaranya nggak ada kelemahannya atau masalah, tapi hal-hal tersebut untungnya nggak berdampak parah pada kelangsungan acara, hahaha... Hmm, sekarang aku juga stress nih mikirin semester 5 ini. Gatau gimana tapi jadwalnya tu nggak bersahabat. Kemudian, hal jelek nya lagi tu ada kemungkinan aku harus melepas 2 mata kuliah (karena jadwal yang tidak bersahabat itu) padahal hanya ada 1 mata kuliah penggantinya. Aku bener2 membutuhkan 23 sks ini nih untuk semester ini jadi kan aku bisa ambil Seminar semester depan. Hmmm, mungkin aku harus mengambil kuliah di jurusan lain sih, hahaha... . Doakan saya saja yah!! ;)Ngomong2, hari ini adalah ulang tahun adikku yang ke 17 loh!! Happy B'Day!! hahaha... ;) Ngomong2, besok juga adalah Hari Peringatan Kemerdekaan Indonesia ke-63. Hmm, semoga yang terbaik deh!! :)
ENGLISHYesterday I had a rare experience, hahaha... :) I didn't aware that I was running out of cash in my wallet, LOL. Well, usually I regularly check the amount of cash in my wallet and if it's 'suffering' then I will go to the ATM and take some cash. But that was not the case yesterday, LOL. Yesterday evening I wanted to have dinner at Hoka-Hoka Bento. Well, so then I went there. While I was there I was about to order some meals as I wanted. However, somehow (luckily) I took my wallet BEFORE ordering it (usually I don't). Well, I had taken it so I checked my cash in there. Well, I just realized that I was running out of cash!! DAMN!! If I had known this before I would have gone to the ATM first. Well, so before ordering the food I gotta calculate before. It's not funny if I had ordered meals and my cash wasn't enough to pay it, LOL (Hokben doesn't receive credit or debit card payment). Finally, after the transaction I was left with only Rp 1,000.oo in my wallet, wkwkwkwkw... LOL.I was so lucky checking my wallet BEFORE ordering the meals!! Thanks God!! I dunno what would happened if I didn't and I don't even wanna imagine it, haha...BAHASA INDONESIAKemarin aku mengalami pengalaman yang langka, hahaha... :) Aku nggak menyadari kalau aku kekurangan uang cash di dompet saya, LOL. Hmm, biasanya kan aku dengan teratur memeriksa kondisi uang cash di dompet tuh dan kalo lagi 'kekeringan' ya aku akan ke ATM ngambil sedikit uang. Namun, itu bukan yg terjadi kemarin, LOL. Kemarin malam kan aku pengen makan di Hoka-Hoka Bento. Jadi, pergilah aku kesana. Ketika aku disana aku akan memesan menu sesuai keinginan. Namun, entah bagaimana (untungnya) aku mengambil dompetku SEBELUM memesan makanan (biasanya nggak). Hmm, kan uda ngambil jadi sekalian aja ah ngeliat persediaan uang cash di dompet. Buset dah, baru nyadar uang cash saya kekeringan!! SIAL!! Kalo tau kan aku udah ke ATM dulu sebelum kesana. Hmmm, makanya sebelum memesan aku jadi harus menghitung-hitung dulu dah. Kan nggak lucu kalo aku udah pesan makanan eh pas bayar uangnya kaga cukup, LOL (Hokben setauku nggak menerima pembayaran dengan debit maupun credit card). Akhirnya transaksi itu membuat dompetku hanya berisikan uang sebesar Rp 1.000,oo, wkwkwkwkw... LOL.Aku beruntung banget dah mengecek dompet SEBELUM memesan makanannya!! Terima Kasih Tuhan!! Gatau deh apa yang akan terjadi kalo enggak dan aku nggak mau memikirkannya dah, haha...
ENGLISHWell, today is Wednesday. This morning I was invited to be on the opening ceremony of my university's orientation weeks for the new students. So, I attended it this morning and somehow it reminded me of myself two years ago (apparently I wrote about it! haha...) where I was exactly on the same position as them. At that time (the opening ceremony, I didn't write about that part 2 years ago) I also wore the same 'uniform' as them, white shirts, black pants, shoes, haha... . Next Friday afternoon my department's orientation will start. I'm gonnabe in charge for this one, hmm, wish me luck!! haha...Anyway, now I love Wednesday. Why? Well, because Star World now airs some really cool programs on Wednesday!! haha... . At 8 PM it airs Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, followed by The Moment of Truth, and finally The Apprentice LA. Well, talking about The Moment of Truth, it's cool. Some people are willing to open up their secrets just for the sake of money! hmmm!! Some questions are really private and that could mess his/her life actually. For example: "Have you ever had a sexual relation to other than your husband/wife after you got married?", or "Have you ever gamble one of your children's college funds?". Well, as its name, the contestant can't lie since they had been asked the questions before and their answers were determined as true or not by a polygraph. So, it's kinda interesting, haha...BAHASA INDONESIAHmm, hari ini adalah Rabu. Pagi tadi aku diundang untuk menghadiri upacara pembukaan masa orientasi OSPEK universitas untuk mahasiswa baru. Nah, jadi aku menghadirinya pagi tadi dan tadi benar2 mengingatkanku akan diriku sendiri dua tahun lalu loh (ternyata aku menulisnya!! haha...) dimana aku berada di posisi yang persis sama dengan mereka. Waktu itu (upacara pembukaannya, aku nggak nulis tentang itu sih di posting 2 tahun lalu) aku juga mengenakan 'seragam' yang sama kaya mereka sekarang, kemeja putih, celana panjang hitam, sepatu, haha... . Btw, besok Jumat ospek di tingkat jurusan akan mulai neh. Aku akan jadi penanggung-jawab juga, jadi doakan sukses yah!! haha...Ngomong2, sekarang aku cinta Rabu. Kenapa? Ya soalnya Star World kan sekarang menayangkan beberapa program keren berturutan di hari Rabu loh!! haha... . Jam 8 dia menayangkan Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, diikuti oleh The Moment of Truth, dan kemudian The Apprentice LA. Hmm, ngomongin tentang The Moment of Truth, keren juga loh. Beberapa orang bersedia untuk membuka rahasia pribadi mereka demi uang! hmmm!! Beberapa pertanyaannya pribadi banget soale dan berpotensi menghancurkan relasi dalam hidupnya menurutku. Misalnya: "Pernahkah Anda berhubungan seks dengan seseorang selain suami/istri Anda setelah menikah?", atau "Pernahkan Anda mempertaruhkan uang kuliah Anak anda?" (dan ditanyakan anaknya sendiri). Hmmm, seperti judulnya peserta tidak bisa berbohong soalnya mereka udah pernah ditanyakan pertanyaannya dan jawabann ya ditentukan jujur atau tidak dengan polygraph. Jadi, menarik juga, haha...
ENGLISHWell, actually my original plan for last weekend was to go back to Yogyakarta for the last time on this 2.5 months holiday. However, damn hiking price of oil!! :( Because of that the fare of other transportation modes raise. All trains tickets until last Sunday had been sold out on Thursday!! :( So, if I wanted to go back to Yogyakarta I gotta go back this Monday. Okay, I considered that. In that case, on Wednesday I would have to go back to Bandung again. Hmmm... . Only 2 days in Yogyakarta and caught trains? Hmm, that would have been exhausting. But I still considered that.Well then, I got an invitation to attend the opening ceremony of new students orientation next Wednesday. It is so important, hahaha... . Therefore, I chose not to go back to Yogyakarta, huuu....Anyway, my weekend was so ordinary, haha... . Nothing to tell. Yesterday evening I bought new pizza from Pizza Hut, a Peking Gold Pizza. Well, it was okay and I hate the potatoes. I personally still prefer the common topping, hmmm...O yea, for this fifth semester I take 23 credits (for now, it's still open for change). It is the minimal number of credits I must take this semester to be able to finish my under-graduate study in 7 semesters, hahaha...
::: A Peking Gold Pizza and Beef LasagnaBAHASA INDONESIAHmm, sebenernya rencana awalku untuk wiken kemarin adalah untuk balik ke Yogyakarta untuk terakhir kalinya di liburan 2,5 bulan ini. Namun, harga minyak bumi sialan!! :( Gara2 harga semua moda transportasi lain naik jadi sulit nih cari tiket kereta. Masa tiket sampe hari Minggu kemarin sudah habis sejak hari Kamis kemarin!! :( Jadi, kalo aku mau balik ke Yogyakarta ya aku harus balik hari Senin ini. Oke, aku mempertimbangkannya. Dalam kasus itu, aku harus balik ke Bandung hari Rabu dah. Hmmm... . Cuma 2 hari di Yogyakarta dan aku naik kereta, melelahkan sekali tuh. Tapi aku masih mempertimbangkannya. Namun kemudian, aku mendapatkan undangan untuk menghadiri upacara pembukaan penerimaan mahasiswa baru Rabu besok. Acaranya penting neh, hahaha... . Makanya akhirnya aku memutuskan nggak jadi balik ke Yogyakarta deh, huuu.... Ngomong2, wiken saya sih biasa2 aja, haha... . Nggak ada yang spesial koq. Kemarin sore aku beli pizza yang baru dari Pizza Hut, Peking Gold Pizza. Menurutku rasanya biasa saja dan aku nggak suka kentangnya, nggak enak. Masih mendingan pizza dengan topping yang biasa2 saja dah, hmmm... O iya, untuk semester lima ini aku mengambil 23 sks (untuk sekarang, kan masih bisa berubah). Ini adalah jumlah sks minimal yang harus aku ambil semester ini supaya bisa lulus dalam 7 semester nih, hahaha...
ENGLISHPreviously on East Java Vacation (Part 1: Malang), Zilko and his parents went to East Java. On Day 1 and Day 2 they went to Malang.Day 3 (1st August 2008)Following our plan, we left Malang this day. At about 9 AM we checked out from the hotel. Then my dad wanted to eat at a Warung Rawon which was delicious as he ate like 20 years ago. When we found it, apparently it had changed a lot. It was not tasty at all... :( So we decided to have breakfast at another well-know restaurant, Cwie Mie Hok Lay. It was so famous... ;) Yea, the cwie mie was delicious but for me, Cwie Mie Sawahan was still slightly more delicious, hmmm.... . Then because my dad was curious with the Rawon Nguling and it was close to the cwie mie depot, so we walked there. I had been so full that I couldn't enjoy nor eat the rawon, LOL.Then at 11 AM finally we left Malang. At about 12.30 PM we arrived at Blitar. We first went to my mom's friend's house. Then my mom other friend asked us to have lunch at a Warung Gado-Gado out of town. It was tasty!! hahaha... . Then we visited some relatives there. At 4.30 PM we left Blitar. Otw to Tulung Agung we stopped by at my grand-grand parents' graves. After that we ate some local delicacies, LOL. It's called "cenil". It's just to sweet for me. At about 6.30 PM we arrived at Tulung Agung. We first visited our relative home, then we checked in at our hotel. Well, at that time there was a black out there. Damn. So, at first we had dinner at a warung sate kambing there, in a darkness of course, LOL. Then we picked other relative to have another light meal. We ate a Tahu Lontong at a warung. It was tasty!! hahaha... . Then we went around town and bought some kerupuk rambak. After that we went back to our hotel.Day 4 (2nd August 2008)We left the hotel at 8 AM. We had breakfast at Soto Tamanan. After that we left Tulung Agung. When we arrived at Kediri, we went into the city to buy some gifts, which was tahu (tofu). Then, we went to Puh Sarang Maria Cave, haha... . At 11.45 AM we left Puh Sarang and went back to Yogyakarta. On the way we had meal at Nirwana Restaurant, Nganjuk again...At about 6 PM we arrived at Yogyakarta, and I was so exhausted, hahaha... . That was my trip to East Java

Hari 3 (1 Agustus 2008)Mengikuti rencana, kita meninggalkan Malang pada hari ini. Sekitar jam 9 pagi gitu kita meninggalkan hotel. Trus papaku kan pingin makan di sebuat Warung Rawon yang katanya dulu sih terkenal enak yang dia makan sekitar 20 tahun yang lalu. Nah, waktu ketemu, ternyata udah banyak berubah. Sama sekali nggak enak... :( Jadi kita mutusin untuk sarapan di sebuah restoran yang dulu terkenal juga, Cwie Mie Hok Lay. Mie nya kayanya terkenal tuh... ;) Yup, mie nya memang enak loh tapi untuk aku Cwie Mie Sawahan masih sedikit lebih enak deh, hmmm.... . Trus karena papaku masih penasaran sama Rawon Nguling dan lokasinya kebetulan dekat dengan depot cwie mie nya, makanya kita jalan kesana. Aku udah kekenyangan bgt sih waktu itu makanya gabisa menikmati rawon-nya, LOL. Trus jam 11 pagi akhirnya kita meninggalkan Malang. Sekitar jam 12.30 kita tiba di Blitar. Pertamanya kita pergi ke rumahnya temennya mamaku. Trus temennya yg lain ngajak makan siang di sebuah Warung Gado-Gado di agak keluar kota gitu. Enak loh!! hahaha... . Trus kita mengunjungi beberapa kerabat disana. Jam 4.30an gitu kita meninggalkan Blitar. Otw ke Tulung Agung kita mampir di kuburan nya buyut saya. Habis itu kita makan snack lokal tuh, LOL. Disebutnya "cenil". Menurutku sih terlalu manis kalo untuk ukuran aku.Sekitar jam 6.30 sore kita tiba di Tulung Agung. Pertamanya kita mampir di rumah kerabat, trus kita ke hotel untuk check in. Oya waktu itu disana lagi mati lampu tuh. Sial. Jadi, habis itu kita makan malah di warung sate kambing sambil bergelap-gelap ria dah, LOL. Trus kita menjemput kerabat dan makan ringan bareng di warung Tahu Lontong. Enak juga loh!! hahaha... . Trus kita keliling kota dan beli beberapa kerupuk rambak. Habis itu balik deh ke hotel. Hari 4 (2 Agustus 2008)Kita meninggalkan hotel jam 8 pagi. Kita makan di Soto Tamanan dulu. Habis itu kita meninggalkan Tulung Agung. Ketika tiba di Kediri, kita masuk ke kotanya untuk beli oleh2, yaitu tahu. Habis itu kita pergi ke Gua Maria Puh Sarang, haha... . Jam 11.45 siang akhirnya kita balik deh ke Yogyakarta. Di perjalanan kita makan di Restoran Nirwana, Nganjuk lagi... Sekitar jam 6 sore kita tiba di Yogyakarta, dan capek bgt dah waktu itu, hahaha... . Itulah perjalanan saya kemarin
ENGLISHFinally now I can write about my trip to East Java last week, hahaha... ;) O yea, before that, today is exactly 2 years I have been in Bandung. Time really flies, so fastDay 1 (Wednesday, 30th July 2008)We departed at 5.45 AM from Yogyakarta. Of course, I drove the car. At about 7 AM we arrived at Solo and ate nasi liwet as breakfast there. Then we continued our trip. At about 10.45 AM we arrived at Nganjuk and had lunch at Nirwana Restaurant. Because of our good experience this time, so when we passed Kediri, we stopped by at "Sate Ayam Pak Siboen", hahaha... ;) After that we continued our trip to Malang. At about 3 PM we arrived at Malang. O yea, as my meter said, I drove 352 km that day from Yogyakarta to Malang, LOL. Later that afternoon, we went to Bakso Cak Gondhol. We were lost at first but finally found it, hahaha... . Then we went to the new mall at Malang. I think the mall is pretty good (but of course no compare to malls in Bandung or Jakarta, LOL) but the tenant mix is still poor. Some not so 'good' tenants are placed in strategic place (can you imagine when you enter a supposed to be glamorous mall you see a stand selling "stoves' stuffs"? LOL). Then we left the mall at abut 7.45 PM and had dinner at Soto Lombok. After that we went back to our hotel.Day 2 (Thursday, 31st July 2008)We left the hotel at around 9 AM, then we had breakfast at Soto Rampal. After that we went to Dinoyo to look for local clay pots there. After getting lost one time, finally we found the potmakers village, hahaha... . Unfortunately my parents didn't find what they were looking for. Suddenly it was lunch time and we had lunch at Mie Sawahan. Before that we tried to find Soponyono first to buy gifts (from sweet potatoes). After getting lost several times finally we found it, LOL. After that we dropped my dad back at the hotel and my mom and I went to the new mall again. Four hours later, we went back to our hotel. Later that evening we had dinner at Bakso Cak Man. Well, I think Bakso Cak Gondhol was still more tasty... ;) to be continued........

Hari 1 (Rabu, 30 Juli 2008)Kita berangkat jam 5.45 pagi dari Yogyakarta. Tentu saja aku dah yang nyetir mobil. Sekitar jam 7 pagi kita tiba di Solo dan makan nasi liwet sebagai sarapan. Trus kita melanjutkan perjalanan kita. Sekitar jam 10.45 gitu kita sampai di Nganjuk dan makan siang di Restoran Nirwana. Karena pengalaman baik pada waktu ini, jadi ketika melewati Kediri, kita juga mampir di "Sate Ayam Pak Siboen", hahaha... ;) Habis itu baru dah lanjut ke Malang. Sekitar jam 3 sampai dah di Malang. Oya, seperti hasil di penghitung di mobil, aku nyetir sejauh 352 km loh hari itu dari Yogyakarta ke Malang, LOLSorenya, kita pergi ke Bakso Cak Gondhol. Kita pertama kesasar tapi akhirnya berhasil menemukannya, hahaha... . Trus kita pergi ke sebuah mall yang baru di Malang. Aku rasa mall-nya lumayan juga (ya tentu saja masih nggak bisa dibandingin lah sama mall-mall di Bandung atau Jakarta lah, LOL) tetapi tenant mix nya menurutku parah sekali. Beberapa tenant yang nggak terlalu 'ok' koq malah menempati tempat-tempat strategis (misalnya ni masa ada tenant yg ditulis di papan namanya jualan "alat-alat kompor" dan lokasinya strategis tu kelihatan dari pintu masuk utama. LOL. Nggak kelihatan 'wah' duluan lah jadinya mall-nya). Trus kita meninggalkan mall-nya jam 7.45 malam an kemudian makan malam di Soto Lombok. Habis itu kita balik ke hotel. Hari 2 (Kamis, 31 Juli 2008)Kita meninggalkan hotel sekitar jam 9 pagi, trus makan pagi di Soto Rampal. Habis itu kita pergi ke Dinoyo untuk mencari pot tanah liat lokal disana. Habis kesasar sekali akhirnya ketemu juga deh desa tempat pembuat pot nya, hahaha... . Sayangnya ortuku ga nemuin apa yang mereka cari. Eh, tau-tau udah waktunya makan siang dan makan siang lah kita di Mie Sawahan. Sebelumnya kami mencari Soponyono dulu untuk membeli oleh2 (singkong). Habis kesasar beberapa kali akhirnya ketemu lah tu tempat, susah amat nyarinya, LOL. Habis itu kita nurunin papaku di hotel sementara aku dan mamaku pergi ke mall nya lagi. Empat jam kemudian baru dah balik ke hotel. Sorenya kita makan malam di Bakso Cak Man. Aku rasa masih lebih enakan Bakso Cak Gondhol dah... ;) bersambung........
