Trip #2: Don't Walk, Keep Run! Running Man!

Hy, it's been a long time since the last post I said I wanna post a several posts, but in fact, I just posted 1 post. Lol! Ok, to fulfill my promise, I wanna post the next trip now. It was another fun trip with my best friends. How I love every moment I spend with my bestie.. It was Running Man!!

Dicky found an event organizer that organize a Running Man games. We had already booked it for 16th March, but it had been cancelled by the EO exactly one day before, after we fully paid it! What the.. So we postponed it until we passed the mid test and tried to found the other schedule. Finally we got the schedule on 9 May 2013 (postpone for 2 months, graow)

We had a trouble at the time of departure. We planned we met at 8am and there were be 3 cars. 9 May was Ascension day of Jesus Christ, btw.. So I went to the church on 6am and got home on 7.30, did some preparation and met up on 8. But stupid Dicky, he was overslept and just woke up when Indra came to his home. It was almost 8. And the worse thing happened when he realized that his car was been driven by his Dad! Since then, we change our plan and crammed on only two small cars for 12 people. Hmm..

As mentioned, our members was 12 people, 4 women and 8 men. So we was divided as 4 teams, each team had 1 woman and 2 men. And it was start:

1. We met the EO and they split us by gender. Women followed A, and men followed B. Me and other 4 friends, they were Jejeng, Vira and Dana, walked to the beach (we played in Ancol) and stopped on a spot. Then we should play "Scissor, Paper and Rock game" and the loser would be left there. I got the bad feeling, and yea, I was the first loser. So I was stopped on the first stop and they continued walk along the beach. Since we were 4 person, it had 4 stops. And what we should to do, we just need to play a "hide and seek" from the men. It was awkward. A girl with a tiny backpack, looks confused and looking around with cautious attitude. So I decided to hide in female toilet! Hahaha!!

I though the game was started. Because in the real Running Man, there was a game that the member should hide for about 30 min and if they didn't get caught, they will get the running ball. So I stay in toilet, chatting with my other 3 friends (asking each conditions) for more than 1 HOURS! Luckily the toilet was clean. Finally, I gave up and show myself to the public. And the men who found me were also too exhausted to be happy. We just greet each other and walked slowly to the EO (no chasing scenes).

And to be disappointed, the game hadn't started yet. It was the way how they divided us to 4 groups. The men who found the girl will be one group. Damn! We were tired even before the game starts.

2.  We get our early-lunch -- this part is not important to be described. Lol!

3. First game, finally. Every girls need to demonstrate without a sound, and the men had to guess. Sounds easy? Ok, we must demonstrate and guess about indonesian proverb!! And my team was the loser (again). Hahahaaa

4. Second game, The man should carry a woman on the shoulder, walked up to the the prescribed point, then move her to a second man. The woman can't step on the ground during the transfer process. Then the second man walked back to the other prescribed point. They looking for the team who can finished it less than 20 seconds! (if im not wrong) Hell. But finally, my team was the fastest team! We finished it just about 17 second. B)

But we had played it for three times to be the winner. Hahaha.. We had fallen in the second chance. It felt a little itchy when I fell on the grass, and my legs were cramping. Ckck..

5. Third game. This is the most 'gaje' game. I dont know how to describe this game, but believe me, this game wasn't fun at all but my team win this game.

6. And we came to the last game. (See, we waited for 2 months and just playing this very very short game. huh. However they promised us to give us more games for the previous cancellation. the EO is not professional enough, seriously). It was the time when we need to pull off another participant nametag. And stupid my leg, it cramping very hard when we want to start the last session. So my team waited for about 5 minutes then we start the game. This part was so silly yet exhausting. Everybody looks so brutal and there were some mission to attack one team first, and some betrayers were appear during this section.

We play hard. We got our white t-shirt so dirty by the dirt. We chasing. We laughing. And everybody enjoy the games.

Btw, like on the real Running Man, there would be the last part when we should take a draw by our running ball. And again, my team was the loser! What happen to my luck that day! Although we got 3 running ball. Damn. Kevin should wore hot pant, me a frizzy colourful wig, Fery wore bridal headbands. We should found 5 people to take a photo with us, and that's it..

I should have more quality times with my lovely best friends.. Hahaha.. Some of our photos:

After the last game. Exhausted faces are all around

Trip #1: Kampung Wisata Cinangneng - Bogor

Oke, kita bahas topik jalan2-jalan dulu aja yaaa.. Hihih.. Soalnya topik ini biasanya hangat di hati kalo abis dijalanin, kalo uda lama jadi males diulas.. Jadi ceritanya gw bergabung dengan international buddy (selanjutnya dikenal dengan iBuddy) untuk periode tahun ini. Kerjaannya adalah menjadi buddy untuk anak-anak luar yang lagi study exchange ke binus. Hohoh.. Dan buddy gw adalah anak Thailand. Jreng jreng..

Sejujurnya pas awal pertama gw dibilang bakal datang selusin anak Thai, gw berharap sedikit semoga ada yang seganteng Mario Maureer. Yah terlalu muluk emang gw, ga usa seganteng dia dehh, cuma yang penting sedap dipandang. Walau gw sangsi, karena setau gw orang-orang Thai 11-12 sama orang Indonesia. Dan ternyata benar saja.. Anak Thai-nya standar semua ga ada yang seganteng P'Shone.. Hahahaa.. Tapi itu bukan masalah. Mereka baik dan sopan, enak diajak ngobrol, that's all. Itu hal dasar paling utama untuk menjadi teman gw. Hahaha..

Setelah mereka di Binus selama 3 bulan, dan kami baru saja sama-sama melewati masa-masa suram (re: UTS), maka kami diberi kesempatan untuk jalan-jalan ke Bogor.. Yuhu.. Total rombongan kami kurang lebih ada 40 orang, mulai dari anak-anak Indonesia, anak Thai, dan anak-anak luar seperti Prancis, Jerman dan Canada. Well, i'm so proud to become a Binusian \(^.^)/ . Psst, orang dari Canadanya ganteng banget loh sungguh!!

Jadi tempat bertemu kami di Binus Square jam 9 dan setelah semua komplit, kami meluncur ke Bogor, untuk ikut program "Poelang Kampoeng" di Kampung Wisata Cinangneng, Bogor, FREE! hahahaa.. (free dari binus ya, bukan dari Cinangnengnya). Dan program ini sangat menyenangkan loh kegiatan-kegiatannya, cuma sayangnya terlalu terburu-buru tiap sesinya, jadi gw kurang puas.. Plus lagi, dengan ada acara kaya begini, bener-bener improve my chinese and english skill. Tapi terutama chinese sih. Soalnya bener-bener sulit menemukan lawan bicara berbahasa mandarin kalo di kehidupan sehari-hari. Hahaha..

1. Learn to play Angklung & sing Sundanense song

Pas pertama kami datang, kami semua langsung mulai diajarin main angklung. Semua warga Indonesia pasti tau apa itu angklung, yang ga tau silakan cek disini, tapi yg gw share web-nya pake english. Hahaha.. Pengetahuan yang gw dapat untuk main angklung adalah, cara pegang angklung yang benar adalah tangan kiri di diletakan angka 1 (bambu yang lebih tinggi pojok atas), tangan kanan di angka 2 (bambu yang lebih pendek pojok bawah). Tangan kiri fungsinya hanya memegang dan menahan angklung, sedangkan tangan kanan yang berfungsi menggoyangkan angklung biar tercipta nada yang diinginkan. 

Angklung hanya ada 8 buah, dari do rendah sampai do tinggi, sehingga kalo butuh re tinggi sampai selanjutnya, caranya mudah, gunakan tangan kiri untuk menahan daerah yang digarisi hijau (nomor 3), sehingga yang bunyi hanya bambu yang lebih pendek.

Kami main lagu "Rayuan Pulau Kelapa" dan "Tokecang" dengan angklung ini. Ada 2 cewek Prancis yang super semangat. Setiap kali sampai di nada angklung bagian mereka, mereka sontak langsung menggoncangkan angklung dengan penuh semangat sampe satu badan bergetar. Lol! Terus kami juga belajar lagu sunda yang gw lupa judul maupun nadanya. heheh..

2. Learn to play Gamelan & painting a farmers hat

Berbeda dengan angklung yang bentuknya sama semua cuma beda ukuran, gamelan terdiri dari bermacam-macam jenis. Pelajaran yang ini kurang seru karena kami hanya disuru memainkan 2 nada yang diulang-ulang nonstop sampe bosen. Krik krik..

Lanjut langsung ke painting a farmers hat. Kami diberikan masing-masing sebuah topi dan diberikan waktu 15 menit untuk menghias topi kami. Topi ini ada 3 fungsi. Kalau untuk lelaki, digunakan untuk menghalangi sinar matahari pas di sawah. Kalau untuk wanita, digunakan untuk mencuci beras dan menanak nasi.

Ini adalah dekor kilat topi buatan gw :3

3. Learn to make puppet from cassava leaves

Ini cukup kreatif loh. Sayangnya gw males menjabarkan caranya yang cukup kompleks disini. Bahkan saat gw mau mamerin hasil karyanya, gw ga punya fotonya. Hahahaa.. Abisnya waktu itu gw pikir bakal foto pas uda sampe rumah aja. Taunya gw sengaja melupakan hasil karya gw dan tergeletak di meja makan disana.. Jadi akhirnya gw ambil foto puppet buatan temen gw aja yaa.. hahahaha.. Sayang foto ini tampak depan sehingga kepalanya ga kliatan, padahal lebih indah kalo tampak dari samping.

4. Learn to make a traditional cookies called bugis & traditional drink called wedang jahe

Ini juga lumayan menarik, cuma gw tetep males jelasin disini. Gampang kok cek gugel pasti ketemu deh ya caranya. Hihih.. Pokonya yang aga menarik di sesi ini adalah, temen gw harus sibuk menerjemahkan ke Inggris penjelasan si teteh (panggilan untuk wanita yang lebih tua) yang menjelaskan kepada para anak-anak luar negeri yang kebetulan sekelompok sama gw tentang tata cara pembuatannya. Yah, forget to mention, kami dibagi menjadi 4 grup selama sesi ini dan gw kebetulan sekelompok sama temen-temen Indonesia 3 orang dan sisanya segerombolan geng cewek Prancis yang cantik-cantik (sayang kulitnya banyak noda), 2 orang cewek Thailand, dan seorang cewek Jerman.

5. Tour Kampoeng (visit some home industries)

Nah yang menarik dari kampung wisata ini, mereka bekerja sama dengan perkampungan warga sekitar, sehingga salah satu program "Poelang Kampoeng" ini memungkinkan para wisatawan untuk berkunjung langsung ke kampung tempat tinggal warga dan melihat mereka yang buka home industry. Ada yang jualan tas, dompet, keset kaki, sampai kerajinan tangan seperti obor, miniatur, dan enggrang dari batok kelapa. Harganya murah banget karena langsung dari tangan pertama. Katanya, kalo uda masuk ke pasar diluar, harganya bisa naik sampe 3x lipet!

6. Learn to plant rice, crossing river & washing buffalo

Gw skip kegiatan di sesi ini dengan hanya menonton. Abisnya gw males membasahi dan mengotori kaki. Kebetulan gw bukan satu-satunya orang yang ga ikut dalem sesi ini kok. Hahaha.. 

And finally kita duduk setelah capek seharian. Ngobrol2, gosip2, dan pastinya foto2..

Me and Nuray (my iBuddy)

Ini dia si bule Canada ganteng. (Gw nemu di album foto tmn gw. Lol) - Boom - Song

Angel dengan senyum lebarnya sampe matanya segaris. Lol!!

Angel - Me

Btw, kemarinnya iBuddy gw (Le) baru pulang dari Bandung, dan dia kasih gw oleh2.. Nah yang menarik, salah satu dari oleh-oleh dia adalah coklat hias yang yang dibentuk bagus gitu.. Dana dikasih coklat bentuk doraemon, katanya gara-gara dana mirip sama doraemon. Dan dengan mengambil prinsip yang sama, gw seharusnya dikasih coklat yang 'dikira' mirip sama gw donggg.. And what I get from my buddy? Coklat bentuk Princess!! HAHAHAHA.. Oke, sekian sebelom diprotes..

May Recently Update

Oh men men men.. It's so long long time i've never written something again here. Don't know what happen, but nowadays I feel I lose my self control. Finally I come to the condition when I feel 24 hours is not enough to do my works. God, what happen to me?! 

I had decided to post several topics actually, but never really do it until now. Hahaa.. So maybe i'll write some posts directly, now. Hmm.. So this is my first post, I wanna tell some of my recently updates.

1. I've already passed my mid exam for this term, and it was bad. This is the worst test i have ever passed since study in my university. I was too lazy for this term, and spent a lot of time to play hard. Hmm.. and when it was coming to the exam weeks, I repeated this words almost everyday, "I know this is my fault, i will never do this again. Never. Ever. Do. This. Again. Anymore." Huff..

I struggling to read all of my modules, and even did NOT sleep all night to study. It was my first experience (not sleeping over the day to study) and I was too panic, so however I spent all night to study, nothing could be remembered by me. Lol.. and for the first time on my life, i got 77 as my score. Dont know how  to react, sad (coz this is my worst score ever) but grateful (coz I though I could only got around 50, lol).

2. Other bad news, my lovely old handphone was lost. Badly to say, it happened during the exam weeks and it make my  pressure increase to be double. Hiks.. I dont know how it can be lost, so.. rest in peace my sony ericsson, wish u'll get a better boss, or we can meet again oneday, I wish. In addition, this also my first experience lose handphone loh..

That's all my recent update for now. I wish I can get a good score my other subjects, can make my life better and be a better person. I'm going to write 2 random topics (something like motivation stuff) and 2 topics about my fun-trip soon. Wait yaa.. :D

Virgo Woman Character

Hello yellooww.. On this boring Monday, I wanna writing about...... myself :D. It has been a long time since the last post while I was talking about myself. So this time I wanna talking about me, a Virgo woman.. Here we go..

Yesterday my friend tell me about my zodiac character, and some of it are true, and it's inspiring me to writing about it on my blog to make my reader know a bit about me, maybe? Lol.. (P.s. this entry mostly I take from an article on website, but I also add some of my own character there and counting it as Virgo character. Lol!)

People look up to Virgo for friends because we are straight thinkers and solve problems logically. We are truthful, loyal and determined. Some people might find us cold or emotionally detached because we live in our minds, not in our emotions and feelings. 

Virgo might try to analyze and control a friend's life, BUT only with the idea that they will improve their life, not purely for the sake of controlling. Be patient with me and understand that my recommendations are only to make your life better.. :) 

Virgos are very intelligent, we have an excellent memory and a highly analytical mind. This makes us good investigators and researchers, however sometimes we seem be a vindictive.. We also have the ability to probe into a person's emotions and we can often see into people and detect what their motives are.

We will say the feel okay or everything is alright even when it's not. Virgo has an unpredictable and sometimes unstable temperament, yet a bit perfectionist.

Virgos want to be of use, they need to be important and essential to everyone in their lives and in everything they do. Deep inside, Virgo is very sensitive and they need to be appreciated for all the things they do. When is Virgo is offended or hurt, they may never show it. 

Virgo Love and relationship

A Virgo woman is earthly and we may seem cold and detached, but underneath the timid - reserved surface, lies the real woman. A strong, passionate woman with a great capacity for strong devoted love. We will play hard to get, because we are worried about exposing our emotional vulnerabilities and getting hurt. 

So, how to attract me? Lol

Virgos need intellectual stimulation. Impress us with facts and details. We requires patience and you will have to court us and work hard to impress us. However in fact, we are very simple. We like people who are sincere. We often notice to the little things. We don't need a big things, just do a small thing but meaningful, then we can easily moved and fall in love by it. Once I'm in love, it is for the long term.. :")

Once I love someone, bestfriend or maybe a man, we will put their problem higher than ours. We emphasize to honesty. We can't be betrayed, because it will be difficult to recover our trust later. In friendship or relationship, we do not have to always talk non stop everyday. The essential is we still get in touch and know each other latest news.

We are the moody one. Sometimes we can be so extrovert, but the next time we become an introvert one. But still, we play a lot on our rational, not our feeling. We don't like let anyone know our feeling. When we sad, we prefer to say at home and do our hobbies. We doesn't share it on any social account such as Twitter or whatsoever. 

However people notice us as a cold one and an independent woman, in fact we still need a warm hug. We seem complicated sometime, but believe me, we are so simple, friendly, and have a very warm heart! :D

Forgiving is difficult, but it's much more difficult to bear a grudge in our heart

I learn something again today, it's still relating with my last post. Forgiving is difficult, but it's much more difficult to bear a grudge in our heart.

Finally today I hang out with my friend I had mentioned on the previous post, and just say the truth, I feel so bored because of my deep disappointed to her. But I try to being nice however I know I'm still treat her bad today, Lol. We do not talk much, but at least we still talking each other. I'm sure she aware of my attitudes change, but she still play her role goodly. Do you know the main problem in our friendship? Because we never want to talk and ask. I dont want to tell her and she doesn't want to ask me.

Actually I've already talked to her that I'm disappointed about something, and she never really care to discuss about our problems. She prefer to pretending there're no problems. Since then, I never know how to solve the problem around us.. Maybe one day I must to say directly about all my 5 years pain.. Just wait for the good moment.

Since I have a deep hurt on my heart and feel so annoyed by her, I can't to be nice to her. And the bad things is, I love her as much as I hate her. It makes me so suffering. In this 5 years, I have already forgiving her for so much times. I dont know how long I must to wait for her to understand me oneday. My brother said, 

"One thing you can do to heal your pain is just let her go.. Let she does everything she wants, and just be a good friend for her without asking her be nice for u."

So the question is, can I let her go? If I let her go, I will never care about her anymore. But how can, how about our 5 years memories and friendship? And my heart answer me,

Matthew 18:21-22

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Yesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Before, I think this is impossible for me to forgiving someone for so much time. But now I know, it's possible. Why? Because I already love her as my own sister. And believe me, Forgiving is difficult, but it's MUCH MORE difficult to bear a grudge in our heart. So maybe I change my mind, she will always be my bestfriend. Whatever she does, I just wish that I can have an open heart to forgiving her, and I really wish she can try to understand me..

Sorry for recently mellow posts. I'm promise this is the last. ^^

 

never say something sweet if u never really mean it

Dear all of my readers..

Please u dont ever do this to everyone u met, especially your best friend. This is my real story, a tragic story that i've never told to public before.. I wont tell u the detail, but I will tell u the lesson: never say something if u dont really mean it. Whatever it is, please dont say anything sweet to someone if u NEVER mean it. 

U will never know how hurt it is. It's so hurt hurt hurt and i feel so sick because this hurt now. I was sobbing several times before, but mostly i just silent in my hurt. I think everybody must be so surprised to read a stupid post of mine on the early morning bcoz I never written something like this..

Let me tell u a quick story. I have a friend. We have already spent a lot of times and moment together. Some of our interests are same and suddenly we have already became a bestfriend. She has the other group of friends and me too. But i try to take her to my group, but she doesn't. She told me several times how bored she was with her group. She said the only friend who know her so well is only me. She even told her mom that im her bestfriend, can u see how sweet she is? And I feel so happy since I also already considering her become my bestfriend. And u know what she does later?

She can put a good mask on her face. She act so good and laugh together with her groups, and when she back to me, she said that she felt guilty coz she is the only one who didnt get their jokes. But every times she said it, I cant find the truth. I only can see that however she dont really like her group, but they have a good friendship and she treat them better than she does for me.

Times go on.. I dont mind with anything, i just know that she is and will always be my bestfriend and feel a bit sorry for her to know her bad position with her group. However honestly, I have already get a hurt by her attititude on the moment..

Times running and running.. I always hope she can change her attitude to me. I mean, dont complain about them and keep saying that i'm your best friend if ur action is not appropiate with ur words. And now, I get myself in a deep hurt. I cant hold this longer. Do whatever u want, friend. U will always my friend, but not bestfriend anymore. I know maybe im too melancholic and emotion when im typing now, but I really wish she can stop call me as her best friend start from now if she never really mean it. So guys, once again I tell ALL of u, pleaseee..NEVER say something SWEET, if u DONT really mean it. Coz it's hurt so much. Good nite :)

Princess Diary on 23th March

Beralih dari posting yang tadi, gw mau menulis sedikit tentang curhatan pribadi gw.. Ini bukan post yang penting untuk dibaca, tapi kalo mo baca juga ga apa-apa kok. Hahahaa..

Kejadiannya udah lama, udah ada kurang lebih dari 5 tahun yang lalu. Pernah ga sih kalian sakit hati banget, tapi sekaligus sayang banget sama seseorang? Untuk meluruskan dulu, ini bukan kisah cinta kasih lawan jenis yah.. Up to now, I never share that kind of story here, hahaha.. 

Jadi ceritanya, gw merasa sakit hati sama seseorang, tapi sekaligus gw merasa terlanjur sayang dengan dia. Berkali-kali dia melakukan hal yang menyakitkan, sampai gw akhirnya berubah jadi jahatin dia.. Gw jutekin, dan agak menyebalkan, biar dia tahu kalo gw sebel. Cuma emang dasar sifatnya, walau gw yakin dia tahu gw kesel, dia tetep ga berusaha buat menjaga perasaan gw.. Gw ga ngerti sama jalan pikiran dia, tapi gw tau, itu emang sifat alami dia. Dia terlalu polos, hingga kadang cenderung bodoh menurut gw.. Makanya gw ga bisa protes dan cuma bisa nelen rasa sakit hati itu bulet-bulet.. Kenapa ga gw jauhin aja? Karena gw terlanjur menganggap dia salah seorang yang spesial dalam hidup gw.

Sampai pada akhirnya seorang teman baik gw yang cukup bijak, dia berkata begini ke gw.. (kayanya dulu gw pernah post deh di postingan dulluuuuu banget).. katanya, "Kalo emang lu merasa dia teman yang baik, itu berarti karena dia memang udah baik sama lu. Jadi bodo amet dia mau anggep lu apa, yang penting kan bagi lu, dia itu temen lu yang baik."

Kata-kata teman gw ini selalu gw pake buat menenangkan hati gw kalo rasa sakit hati itu lagi berkecamuk. Akhirnya, gw memutuskan untuk mematikan hati gw saat deket dia. Biar gw ga merasa sakit hati. Dan gw pikir, gw uda berhasil. Tapi sayangnya, she/he ruins it again when she/he back.. Mau gimanapun sifat dia ga berubah. Semua kata-kata indahnya ga sejalan dengan perbuatan dia. Huh.. Cuman sekali lagi, gw tau kalo dia lakuin ini bukan dengan sengaja. Nyebelin abis. ckck..

Akhirnya malam ini, mendadak gw membaca tulisan gw sendiri pas dulu gw menyalin kata-kata indah yang gw baca di internet. 

"Terkadang yang jauh lebih menyenangkan dari sebuah janji adalah bukan ketika ia ditepati, melainkan ketika ia direlakan untuk menemukan kebenarannya sendiri."

"Kesejatian cinta sebenarnya bukan terletak pada kata-kata 'cinta tak harus memiliki', melainkan mensyukuri dan mencintai apa yang kita miliki. Buat apa bersikukuh mencintai sesuatu yang bukan untukmu. Kita punya bagian sendiri untuk dimiliki, cintailah itu."  -Pohon Kersen dan Hujannya-

Jadi kalau ada teman-teman sekalian yang senasib mengalami kejadian yang serupa atau hampir serupa, silakan dibaca berulang-ulang kata-kata indah diatas. Semoga mujarab. Hahahaa..
