Away Getaway


Yak! Melanjutkan post yang sebelumnya, kali ini gue bakal cerita tentang kelanjutan liburan gue bareng Retta sama Nadya. Tadinya gue sama Nadya mikir kalo rencana buat pergi ke Bandung ini impossible, secara saat itu kondisi keuangan kita tiris banget :’( . Eh tapi sekitar 2 minggu kemudian kita sepakat buat pergi ke Bandung, ke tempat Retta :)

Jadi, gue sama Nadya berangkat dari depok naik Aya Travel. Pasti banyak yang belom tau deh travel ini. Gue juga ga bakalan tau kalo ga dikasihtau sama sodara gue yang emang orang Bandung. Letaknya terpinggir banget, disamping BNI Walikota Depok, tapi agak masuk dikit gitu. Kita naik yang jam 5 pagi! Whoaah, kita bahkan sholat subuh di Aya Travelnya.

Aya Travel ini termasuk murah, cuma Rp.60.000,- dan karena kita pake KTM jadi Rp.55.000,- deh J The jouney was started. Di perjalanan kita ngobrol, dengerin musik, sampe ketiduran. Sekitar 2,5 jam kemudian, alhamdulillah kita nyampe juga di Bandung!

DAY 1

Kosnya Retta letaknya di Dipati Ukur. Kosannya bagus banget, aa pengen kayak gitu juga di Depok. Jadi bangunannya minimalis, lantai 3. Terus suasananya adem banget padahal ga pake AC (yaeeeyalah, Bandung gitu). Abis sarapan sama mandi kita cabut ke main destination kita, yaitu ITB! Gue sama Nadya sempet becanda kalo tujuan kita ke Bandung adalah untuk ke ITB dan tujuan kita ke ITB adalah...untuk cari cowok -___- . Mwahaha maaf ya kalo kita sangat desperate, tapi itu becanda kok ;)

Sampai sana kita diajak keliling sama Retta, dijelasin ini-itu all about ITB. Nice tour guide :)Menurut gue ITB kampusnya enak. Banyak pohonnya, jadi keliatannya asri dan rindang. Terus arsitekturnya kebanyakan bergaya kuno, tapi bagus, punya daya tarik sendiri. Gedung fakultas satu sama fakultas lainnya berlokasi ga terlalu jauh satu sama lain. Terus anak ITB dari berbagai fakultas juga sering nyatu di salah satu spot yang emang biasa buat nongkrong (lupa namanya apa). Aduh, kampus idaman banget deh, coba UI kayak gitu. UI tuh cenderung terlalu luas, sampai banyak hutannya yang terabaikan. Bahkan gedung antar fakultasnya juga jauh-jauhan, harus naik bikun dulu. Ya sudahlah, harus tetap bersyukur sama kampus sendiri :)

Sayang banget disini gue sama Nadya ga nemu cowok yang oke, yang layak untuk dijadikan new crush :P Siangnya makan di soto ayam depan ITB. I have to admit that, this is the best soto I ever had! Enak banget dan harganya juga murah! Oh iya, here’s the documentation :


foto di spot yang katanya sih suka dipake foto...


Pintu masuknya ITB

Ga ada muka-muka anak perminyakan ya? yang ada muka gue yang berminyak -_-


Great statue! best quote for us :)

Bisa dibilang kalo kedatangan kita ke Bandung momennya kurang pas nih,karena si Retta lagi banyak kegiatan di kampus, semacam pelatihan biar bisa ngospek gitu. Jadi abis makan siang Retta cabut ke ITB lagi, sementara gue sama Nadya jalan deh ke Factory Outlet sepanjang jalan Dago. Lumayan bagus-bagus sih, harganya juga ga terlalu mahal, but we’re not in the mood for shopping.

Sorenya balik lagi ke kosan Retta istirahat sebentar. Malemnya kita jalan ke Ciwalk. Berhubung saat itu malem minggu, jadi perjalanan kesananya macet dan pas sampe udah jam setengah 9 aja. Setelah puas kesana-kemari, akhirnya pulang deh. What a good yet tiring day... Sampe kosan Retta kita langsung tepar. Zzzzzzzzzz...

DAY 2

Bangun pagi-pagi karena udah niat banget mau jogging di jalan Dago yang hari itu lagi Car Free Day. Retta lagi-lagi ada pelatihan di kampusnya, dia berangkat lebih pagi. Pas udah mau jalan, eh Retta BBM kalo ternyata hari itu ga ada Car Free Day karena ada Pak SBY yang lagi dateng ke suatu acara di Gasibu. Aaaah kesel banget L Akhirnya karena udah terlanjur jalan, kita nyari sarapan dulu deh. Pas lagi jalan kita nemu gerobak modern gitu yang jual roti kukus dengan berbagai rasa. Wah penasaran, akhirnya gue nyobain roti kukus susu keju. Ternyata roti kukus ini hampir mirip sama bakpau, rotinya mirip kayak roti burger terus di kukus pake dandang besar. Wah rasanya enaaak! Kejunya melting :9 Terus disin juga jual susu sapi segar dengan berbagai rasa juga. Gue mesen yang rasa mocha dan woaa rasanya juga enak! Susunya murni terus mochanya juga pas banget! Slurrp! Sayang gue ga bawa kamera waktu itu, jadi ga bisa foto si roti kukus.

Karena bingung gimana caranya ngehabisin waktu sambil nunggu Retta pulang, gue sama Nadya yang buta daerah Bandung, nekat naik angkot ke alun-alun. Alhamdulillah ga nyasar, karena nanya-nanya orang. Pas udah dialun-alun bingung juga sih mau ngapain. Jadi yaudah jalan-jalan norak doang. Ga lama, kita balik lagi. Karena gatau mau kemana lagi, yaudah deh kita balik ke kosan Retta. Rencananya kita mau bobo siang, tapi karena ga ngantuk, jadi kita malah karaokean di karaokeparty.com (jangan bilang belum pernah coba!). Setelah sukses bikin keributan, kita jalan lagi ke daerah Dago, ngiterin Factory Outlet lagi. I found a chic bandana coloured camel brown :) .

Sorenya kita balik ke kosan Retta dan untungnya dia sudah pulang dari kampus. Tadinya kita mau lanjut ke Bandung Carnival Land, tapi karena udah capek akhirnya ga jadi deh. Malemnya kita mutusin buat makan nasi uduk di sekitar kosan. Enak, murah meriah :9

Then, we had our quality time. It’s a very girly night ever. What were exactly we doing? Kita pake kuteks bareng dan bereksperimen dengan dandan gothic pake eyeliner, bedak, sama lipstick yang seadanya. Pokoknya centil-centilan bareng deh!



my nail, aren't they pretty?
unfortunately, I lied. ini kuku cantiknya Retta :'(
sedangkan gue??



udah bulet-bulet jarinya, pake galau segala lagi -__-

the 'nail-art' process ;)

Setelah puas bereksperimen, kita main kartu deh. Simple game but we miss it a lot :). Main kartu sampe sekitar jam 11 malam. Teriak-teriak plus ketawa-ketawa sampe bikin berisik satu kosan. Karena udah malem dan besok paginya jam setengah 6 pagi gue sama Nadya udah harus pulang ke Jakarta, kita udahan deh terus tidur. But the fact was, we felt that the night was too precious to be missed, so we stayed up until 2 am, chatting and galau-ing together. Di kesempatan ini kita nge-galau bareng. Dari ngomongin jodoh ( lagi-lagi -__- ), kuliah, hal-hal jorok (ups!), sampe konspirasi-konspirasi dunia dan subliminal message di lagu-lagunya Lady Gaga sama kartun Disney. Waw, super random, yah? But I really enjoy the moment, because this was such a rare moment and it’s been a long time since our last time sharing deeply from heart-to-heart. Akhirnya jam 3 kita baru tidur.

Paginya, kita telat bangun!!! Naik DayTrans Travel yang jam setengah 6 tapi baru bangun jam 5! Akhirnya buru-buru, ga mandi, langsung cabut ke Simpang Dago, untung pool-nya deket. Sebelum pergi kita tetep sempet buat dadah-dadahan, pelukan. Aaa sedih banget mesti pisah lagi L. Sampai di DayTrans, fuuh untung aja mobilnya telat, sampe 15 menit gitu. Dan akhirnya, 2 jam kemudian sampai lagi deh di Jakarta.

What a great getaway! It’s really nice to have you guys as my buddy :)

Thanks for being my good friends, hope that it will last forever :’)




Our Route

Sebelumnya, apa yang bakal gue ceritain ini sebenernya udah agak lama sih kejadiannya, tapi gapapa ya, buat kenang-kenangan dan menuh-menuhin isi blog juga :)

jadi, kemaren2 gue sama temen-temen SMP gue, a.k.a Techa (dulu nama genk kita 'Techapocchie', sounds unyu and weird, eh? maklum ya namanya juga anak SMP >_< ) yaitu Nadya dan Retta, jalan-jalan. Wiii asik kan jalan-jalan! kemana coba? kita jalan-jalan ke... UI! -__-

well, sebenernya itu adalah jalan-jalan buat Retta doang, karena dia anak ITB dan belum pernah menjelajah UI. alasan lainnya adalah, Nadya lagi ngambil SP, jadi sekalian nemenin dia kuliah deh. Tapi intinya tetep jalan-jalan sih (literally...)

sebenernya gue udah bosen banget keliling2 UI, cuma gapapa deh jadi tour guide-nya si Retta sehari doang. jadi kita keliling UI pake bikun tersayang. tujuan kita cuma FE (rumah keduanya si Nadya) dan Perpustakaan UI yang baru a.k.a The Crystal Knowledge (jujur, menurut gue, nama ini lebay parah). yuk kita intip perjalanannya!



Perpus baru nan hedon kalo dilihat dari jauh




terasnya perpus, bagus, depannya langsung danau UI
FYI, lokasi Starbucksnya pas di belakang pohon gede itu, sayang pas kita kesana kemaren belum buka -__-



sejujurnya, gue ga paham ini jembatan penghubung mana ke mana
tapi design-nya unik :)



mau masuk ke perpusnya tapi ternyata cuma boleh kalo yang punya KTM UI, sedangkan Retta kan ga punya, jadi ga masuk deh...

Oh iya, terus kita masuk ke ruangan yang penuh banget sama komputer MAC. wooow banyak banget berjejer! dengan noraknya kita langsung nyoba2 fitur si MAC itu (maklum biasanya kan Windows >_<). abis itu malah webcam-an deh, ga afdol loh kalo ke sini tapi belum foto pake webcam-nya ;)



kebiasaan -__-

abis selesai kesana, ke FE deh nganter Nadya yang mau masuk kelas. sambil nunggu dia selesai kelas gue sama Retta (sok-sok) nongkrong di AH Cafe yang ada disana. Nyoba blueberry cheesecake-nya dan waaaaw yummy banget :9 sayang lupa difoto, keburu dilahap duluan :)



THREE OF US :)

Segitu deh perjalanannya. Nah, pas disini Retta ngajakin gue sama Nadya buat jalan-jalan ke ITB. Waw mau banget! Nah, apakah gue sama Nadya akhirnya ke ITB? to be continued ;)




Not Too Lame


Have I told you guys about my super loooong holiday?

oh kalo belum, yuk mari baca kelanjutan post ini :)

FYI, semeter ini UI baik banget deh ngasih mahasiswanya libur selama 3,5 bulan! woohoo!
berasa bukan libur, tapi cuti kuliah :P
tentunya ini ga berlaku buat yang ngambil SP (semester pendek), yg bisa ngehabisin 2 bulan sendiri buat nyuci nilai. Thank God... tahun ini FISIP ga buka SP, so I don't have to waste my free time doing that bussiness ;)

Libur lama seneng banget sih, tapi apa yang terjadi kalo libur lama ini ga diisi dengan kegiatan bermanfaat? fuuuh yang ada malah bosen dan *uhuk* galau...
ets, galau disini bukan galau karna cinta (please banget bahasanya)
tapi galau karena ngeliat banyak temen-temen gue yang udah bisa magang.
mereka pasang status, nge-tweet, sampe ngupload kegiatan magang mereka.
hell yeaaaaaah....gimana gue ga galau??? -__-
ngerasa terbelakang dan nyampah nih selama liburan :(

but, I have promised to myself that next year, I have to look for a part-time work, so I can expand my knowledge and experience, plus earn money by myself! Amiiin ya Allah :)

because I'm on holiday, so don't get bored and jealous if I put my holiday's pictures here (lol, kidding!) but don't worry, my holiday is lame, so anything that I'm going to post here are lame too ;)




okay, enjoy your holiday yaaa :)


Indescribable


have you ever crying with no reason?
the tears are just easily falling down on your cheeks.
your heart , your mind, feels like a mess
you know there's no use in crying but you can't stop the teardrop.

what's the name of this kind of feeling?
a feeling like you know you deserve a chance, but life just push you away from it
like you have many little random problems that can easily forgotten, but suddenly it all gathers and traps you in a difficult situation
I feel like I have power, but feel so powerless

I don't want to cry, but I think it's the best way to express my feelings
have so many friends, but I don't think I want to share it with them
maybe it's best for me to just keep it for myself
and just share it with God in my prayer, that would be more...peaceful

I know crying is useless, I know crying can't solve the problems
but at least, it makes me relieve and feel better
I'm enough with that :')

well, that's quite enough, thought I can let it go, and let's put back a smile in the face :')
I don't know if it makes sense and relevant to this situation, but I like this song, and the video too...







Take Me Higher


I know it’s way too late, but it always better than never, right? ;)

Now, I have passed the second term of my college life. and I’m soooo glad that my GPA is getting higher this term. Alhamdulillah Ya Allah, You’re The Most Gracious and Compassionate.
I can't do all those things without Allah.
Actually, I didn’t believe my eyes when I look at the complete results of this second term, but I finally accepted it and feel very very thankful and blessed! I’m surprised of the result, because I feel I haven’t give my best for the tests and sometimes I’m too lazy to study for tomorrow’s quizzes. But, Alhamdulillah, Allah give me the good results that I have never expected!

I learn something here, that you better expect less, then you’ll be surprised ;)

Now I’m about to apply a scholarship, please do pray for me so I can get the chance :)

Y U So Sensitive?


Recently, I have problems with my skin. Let me tell you...

First, my face is having 'a transformation'. No, I didn’t do that plastic surgery or nose job, The transformation I mean here is...something that make my face looks uglier.

The last 2 months, I was attending a party, and stupid me, I forgot to brought my face powder. So, I used my friend’s powder without considering the effect.

Then the next morning after the party...there were so many pimples on my face! At first, I thought it’s just the ordinary pimples which simply disappear after at least a week, but it won’t after 2 weeks!

Then my mom brought me to doctor and I was given two kind of capsules, a facial cleaner, and a night cream. I have used it for 2 months, but it doesn’t woooooork!

Errr is it because the doctor is not good enough or is it the pimples are so difficult to be exterminated??

I should’ve known that my skin is very sensitive, and I can apply every cosmetics in my face. I’m so upset everytime I see my face in the mirror. For me, it’s a big deal. And everytime me and my friends take pictures with my camera, I have to photoshoped it first, just to hide my awful pimples. Fuuh sorry for spamming about this unimportant thing, but I just want to share.

Dear all the readers, don’t you ever use somebody’s face powder! Make sure that you use your own powder, or you will end up like me!!! -__-

- While my bussiness with the pimples is not over, then come the new problems. It’s about my skin, again. One day, I found many small bumps on my body. It’s very horrible, it spreads all over my thighs, arms and neck. It’s itching and makes me uncomfortable. Then I go to the doctor and she said that I have an allergy. Then I curious, what am I allergic to? But the doctor can’t answer my question and she said that I must do the examination on lab. After I took some pills, the small bumps were gone. Until now, I haven’t check it yet. But, I started to googling it and after read some results, I think I have Urticaria

From that incident, I learn to treat my skin nicer and be careful for anything that I feel not good for sensitive skin. Fuuuh, Ya Allah, please cure my troubles as soon as possible, AMIN :’)



Sleep/Hibernate/Turn Off?


Dear Poetryclopedia and the readers (if there’s any...) , I want to apologize for my looong hiatus for blogging. Well, the problem is not about my college thingy anymore, actually I’ve been on holiday since mid June.

Sooo the problem is...my idleness. Yeah, have to admit that errr it’s so hard to confess this thing, but okay, let’s just say it... my passion for blogging is slowly decreased.

I don’t know why this could happen, everytime I type 'gopoetrygo.blogspot.com', I just visit it and look if there’s any comment in chatbox. There’s no mood to post something there.

But, voila! Now, I’m back! This morning, when I got the morning call, suddenly my brain starts thinking about an idea to write again on blog. Sooo, yes! Here I am, starting to collect my mood for blogging :)

I hope it will be such a new spirit for me! soooo welcome back, Putri :)
