Where were we? Oh, sampe surprising my mom n dad.
Sabtu pagi katanya abis dr Borobudur Mike mau jemput. Sampe jam 4 sore kaga dijemput, baru d dikabarin klo ternyata udah ga keburu. Yasud, ane ikutan bonyok n adik2 makan aj..

Malemnya aku nemenin papi mami, ketemu ma dokter2 dr Penang n their marketing staff. Total klo ga salah ada 8 org. Malem itu akhirnya diputusin makan di tio tjiu jln jend. Sudirman, deket Hotel Santika Premiere. Ternyata mreka smua kelaparan... gara2 presentasi di Golden Campus sampe jam 9 lebih. Karena ga mungkin aku cuma nonton mreka makan, akhirnya aku ikutan makan.

Sebelumnya, aku dah gatel pengen pesen bir.. but i thought it was unsuitable since I'm dining w/ bunch of doctors.. especially when I heard 1 of them is very picky on what he eats. Pucuk dicinta ulam pun tiba, salah satu dokter, yg kebetulan duduknya di sebelahku, pesen bintang dingin sebotol... Langsung deh aku minta gelas extra, trus blg ke dokter ini.. would you mind to share the beer? And he said sure... he took my glass and gently pour the beer inside my glass. Akhirnya 2 dokter yg lain juga ikutan minum. Order lagi d... Dokter yg 1 lagi, ngga minum beer, tp ordernya coca cola.. padahal dy ahli gastro.. brti gpp y minum coca cola?? lol... Yg bikin heran sih ada tmn bokap yg ikut anter dlm rombongan surprised n g percaya klo aku minum... yeaaaaa... she might just amazed... nanyanya ampe.. "yg boneng kmu minum? ga mabuk? blablablaaaaa..."

Sorry klo kekny dokternya ane monopoli, bukan kamsud.. tp karena posisi duduknya yg mendukung. karena aku+ dokter2 ntu dudukny di tengah. dokter bedah jantung, ginekolog, me, sebrangku si dokter gastro, trus sebelahnya (depan ginekolog) dokter 1 lg,, ntah ahli apa.. + karena mungkin mreka lebih enjoy speak in english rather than in melayu y... + si ginekolog kan banyak tanya ke ane.. y jadi ane tanya2 balik aj.. XD

Minggu jam 9 pagi, aku ke bandara, w/ mom n dad... just for nganterin koper2 the doctors and their marketing team. Penuh dah 3 trolly buat barang mereka. Stela mreka masuk ke dalem u/ check-in, mom-dad-n-me mampir di Sop Ayam Pak Min Janti, trus brenti di Ambarukmo Plaza, beliin aku olive netbooknya smart. Biar aku diem katanya. Soalnya aku gmw bawa laptopku, maunya bawa mobil dr rumah. Yah, gr2 g ad kendaraan skr saya jd ank kamar kos. Parah dah.. (smua org bilang.. sepeda is not recommended, sepeda motor ga boleh, mobil ktny aku blm apa jalan,, trus?? aku dsuruh ngapain?)

Sampe di rumah aku lgs packing. Jam 3an udah brangkat lg ke airport u/ nae flight Batavia Jog-Sub jam 16:50.. Check in dapet kursi 7E (nantinya dapet 7F, tukeran sama bapak2 yg ternyata kerja u/ Angkasapura Mataram.) Sampe jam 4 lebih 30 menit, ETDny jg belum ada, gila bener, udah pasti delay ni pesawat. Akhirnya beneran didelay sampe jam 6:15.

Di waiting room, seperti biasa aku pasti maen ke Periplus. Akhirnya tergoda u/ beli Queen of Babble series ny Meg Cabot yg didiskon. Kartu Periplusku belum mati.. tp dalam 1 bulan ini aku mesti kumpulin poin/belanja senilai kurang lebih 600rb.. lhaaaaa.... mesti beli apa ne. Periplusnya sby (yg d ptc?) aj kecil gitu. Masa kudu ke Periplus Juanda.. Mana gbs dikopi barcode nya.. Padahal kan yg lebih gila belanja di Periplus itu kan si Chiyo. hix..

Enuf abt periplus. Stela mendarat, aku cari taxi. Karena bingung gtw mau nae yg mana (yg ktny pny AL itu seharusnya pas kluar dr pintu kluar lgs ke sbela kiri, tp aku bingung n g yakin karena gtw apa namanya.. lha papi ga kasih tau apa namanya,) yawes akhirnya nae golden bird (gaya banged) dan yaaa... tau lah golden itu bayarnya kek gimana.... tp y emang service nya T.O.P.B.G.T... skali lagi d boros nae golden bird.. kapan ari ma chiyo d jakarta, dikasih camry.. yg maren ini nae mercy C class, kompresor? ntah apa. Pokoknya pas di depan kos diliatin aja dah ma org2. Batinnya ni ank kok klo dianter plg, mobilnya ganti2.. *jgn dianggep ank ga genah ae*

Rincian pulang dadakan kali ini....
* tiket ke jogja (puter2 sampe solo-salatiga-semarang-jogja): nebeng - gratis
* makan di madiun, solo, salatiga, semarang, jogja - gratis (dibayarin org laen slaen bonyok)
* netbook - 3.3jt

* airport tax - 25rb
* Meg Cabot's - 115rb
* Golden Bird - 240rb (diskon 33% dr 360rb, kos ane jauh dr Juanda,d sby barat)

total: 3.3 + 1.117 = 4.417jt
yg ane kluarin ndiri: 410rb

pokokny abis ini harus hemat.. $_$

Long weekendku itu.. mulainya tgl 25 mei malem! Abis pulang kerja, numpang mandi d t4 tante, trus diajakin makan d mie jangkrik, dan dianter ke meeting Rotaract. Stela meeting yg formal slese, trus lanjut ke meeting informal.. di Sinar (tah sinar ap namany,) trus kita nongkrong sampe jam.. 1 kekny. Krn kemaleman, aku g plg kos.. Malah nginep d rumah Heidi. Lagian ga ngepek pulang ato ngga, kan 26nya libuuuur... Why? Coz the place i go for work lokasinya di Gresik, dan otomatis tgl 26 libur karena ada Pilkada (walo pemkot gresik sbnrnya cm nyuruh libur stenga hari aj.)

Tgl 26nya, aku ke House of Sampoerna 2x. Paginya, bareng ma Heidi (ini Heidi tah nyetirny rada gmn, mgkn gr2 bobony jam /2 4.. ngobz dulu ma aku. lol,) ketemuan ma Vicky n GungIn.. Siangnya, Heidi dropped me off somewhere in Kalianyar, trus aku pindah ke mobil Michael. Abis itu balik lagi d ke HoS. Mbak2 dan mas2 di HoS pasti apal dah ma aku. Coz aku pake sarung warna pink dengan sandal high heel 8cm warna pink jg. Dah kek turis jp (katanya....)

Abis itu ke rumah tmnny bonyok ny Mike, t4 dmn Mike, Mike's parents, & 2 org tamu dr US stayed. Disana aku diajakin main ma ankny yg pnya rumah (ank cowo umur 9taon.) Lumayan. Ternyata ga bikin boring jg. Malemnya kita diajakin dinner di Citraland. Ntah apa, pokokny ikan2an gt, + ada pond ny d restaurant ny itu. Makananny uenak. Sayang banged kelapa mudanya udah ga muda lagi... Stengah tuwek.. >.> Stela makan, aku dianter ma oom Cong balik ke kos. Dan malem itu jg aku packing....

Tgl 27 pagi, aku dijemput dr kos, then meluncur ke... Semarang! Stela brenti beberapa kali di pom bensin, makan di Madiun, singgah di Solo, beli burger di pinggir jalan, dinner di Salatiga, dan kena macet di Ungaran(rutenya muter2 karena tdny rencana mampir jogja, tp gajadi,) akhirnya nyampe juga di rumahnya Mike. What a nice house. 2.5 story building w/lots of woods details. Homy banged dah. Dari balkon lt.2, terlihat kerlap-kerlip lampu2 kota. Twinkling.. It feels magical! Karena dah kecapean, stelah home tour, akhirnya aku langsung tepar.

Tgl 28 pagi aku ngicipin kolam renangnya Mike. Ga gede, tp cukup bikin cape kalo renang bolak-balik. Di belakang rumahny ternyata ada kebonnya.. Ga tanggung2, klo kupingku ga salah denger sih katanya 1,700 sqm tuh kebonny. Ada sawo, rambutan, mangga, markisa, dll.. What a dream house...

Stelah renang, mandi2, breakfast, n siap u/ pergi, meluncurlah kami ke Jogja. Di jalan kena macet. Apalagi di Magelang... dan smua gara2 Waisak. Makan siang di jejamuran aja udah ga bisa dibilang makan siang, tapi makan sore. Mau maen ke workshopnya Shinta jg ngga jadi gara2 udah kesorean. So, we headed up straight to Prambanan. Kita ga masuk ke Prambanan, tapi photo2 di t4 sendratari ramayana dipentasin. Menurutku sih pemandangannya lebih bagus.

Malemny mampir d di La Pazto, makan pizza + minum wedang uwuh. Then diajakin makan di gudeg Sagan. Bener2 sakit perut gara2 kekenyangan malem itu. Abis makan aku dianter pulang ke rumah. Tenten was so happy to see me again! He's wiggling his tail. And he's jumping over me (Oh yeah.. he even stepped on my head, what a black lab..) Abis main ma tenten, aku mandi.... trus ngenet.. Kangen banget sama komputer rumah.. bnr2 nyaman... Malemnya, aku bukain pintu pas mom n dad pulang. Mreka kaget aku dah di rumah. Surprise! Krn aku pulang g bilang. I was hitchiking.. lol...

oh, i'm very sleepy and kinda tired..

to be continued on part 2,
which apparently will be written tomorrow... or even the day after tomorrow...

I spent a lot of money~



05/01 - Labor Day

It's a nice day... Sunny, but windy.... I got a sunburn that day. It's not even summer yet! Why I got the sunburn? It's because...

I went to a place somewhere close to Minhang, or maybe it's Minhang, which lot's of movie made there. Yup! It's a movie set. It was a set for KungFu Hustle, "Kabut Cinta" (Idon't knw the english title and i don't knw the chinese character), n so on. It was nice. I mean, It's OK. The entrance fee is 50RMB, but if you have the student card, you'll only pay /2 of it (sadly the cashier lady said my student card is not valid.. weird.. >.>). I took some photos there, w/ friends who taking me there. We were 8. It's me frm SNU, 1 frm Phillipines (Yuyun's roommate when she was in XiaMen),and other 6 girls including Yuyun. They are from SISU. >>special thx to Yuyun that ask me out that day. it was very nice. =) If i didn't go, then prob'ly i'll end up sleep for the whole day. hehe..

Frm my uni, i have to take the bus and go to the nearest metro station, the Shanghai NanChan and heading to XinZhuang. After, we took the bus to the place and it took 45 minutes. It was crazy when we are trying to get to the place. It was too many ppl on the bus. Even when it's full already, the driver & co- still get some more people to get in. It's just terrible. My Philipinas friend told us that it was smell bad. Yea.... gues that! The BO! LOL

It was nicer when we get back. Not so crowded, and we got some seats. But 1 thing.... we actually coul get off at BeiQiao St. (line 5), and take a bus to the spot, and vice versa. I just realize that, and our Chinese fellow disn't know about that. Well, at least now we are know. XDD

After the something call Le Yuan (the shooting setting place), we went to HuangPi Metro St. and have an early dinner @ Sizler something2.. i can't recall it. It's a nice western restaurant. The foods are cheap, especially when it's good, and the fact that it is located in a very expensive area. Then, we went to Barbie Shanghai on HuaHai. Again, picture, picture, and pictures!

It was great. Beside the sunburn, i got a sore legs also. But, it was a good trip. So, it was worthed.





Ok, let's make it short... i'm tired n sleepy now... lol



05/02

It was not going as I planned, but things turns out pretty good. I had a plan to go for hopping near the school, but instead, I went to Shanghai Tech for shopping w/ Ntine, Helena, Merry, n Herlina. Long day, but it was great. So, after a very loooong day. I got the same exact bags as Herlina. it was just the differect colors. So, we got an Agnes Bi bag, the big 1, for 45. And I got another bag for 125. They said it's new collection and I bought it on the expensive area. Don't know if I was overpriced. But i think it's OK. If I got overpriced, it can't be more than 10rmb anyway.

After, we went to Coco Curry @ Xujiahui's Metro City. It's delicious. How about a franchise in Indonesia? Hm... pretty good. I just need a capital then. :D
We went back and reach the dorm around 8.
And, i di my laundry.. :D


05/03
What id I do today?
Lol. I was planning to go to the church, but I got off @ 9:15. So I just skipped it and prepare myself to go to PuHuiTang. I took the bus 43, get off at the Indoor Stadium, then ride a taxi to the place. The driver said it's really close (but I don't know where, and Michael said it was kinda far.. so I took the taxi), and I said I don't know which building and I was in hurry, so I don't want to waste my time walking. LOL.. yea... 11 RMB.. huehehe...

So, I got this nice BBQ lunch party invitation from Cisca Wikelling (hope i spell it right). Apparently her guests are all Chinese. Yea!! It's a nice opportunity for me. In fact that her guests can't speak English (some are them are learning, but can't speak really well. but i'm impressed that they are willing to learn it!). We are boiled corn, w/ butter... BBQ pork ribs (i don't care about the Pig/Pork Flu... the meat is not contagious if we cooked it properly... and we are not gonna get the flu bcoz we eat it... We gonna get that flu if we are weak and we get around the animal... So, ppl... pls stop worrying about things! Life is to worthed to be wasted on that kind of thing.. but, if many worried, then I got no competitor of eating those meat and it will cost cheaper... :D thx ppl! lol), then.... KERUPUK! + GADO2... It tasted better that the 1 in Bali Bistro! In fact, Cisca's Gado2 is really nice!!! Did I mentioned that Cisca's mom is an Indonesian and her dad is a Suriname's? It was fantastic! I know her from a Rotary Club (bcoz once I attended a Rotary Shanghai meeting), and I think I should thank Rotary for making my life more colorful. Then, the ultimate dessert is bread pudding. Cisca put walnut, cranberries, and raisins inside the bread pudding. Then, it came w/sweet nice butter sauce. It's delicious! Cisca is a chef. Her cook is beyond excelent. It was just amazing. One thing I forgot to do is drinking the wine. It was the Merlot (Australian). It's a good one.. >.<

There, I met Tom, Cisca's husband. He is doing things in CSR (as a consultants for American co.). Wow! It's like my law of attraction doing something. So funny, because the co. I worked now is a co. that do a CSR for another co.. I believe that we could collaborate someday.

I was staying there until 5. Before I left, I got a nice home tour. Tom showed me the home. I think it's really a home sweet home. It got a nice view, nice room, nice bathrooms (3 bathrooms? or 4? i forgot), nice kitchen, nice balcony on the top of the building... It got everything. Their home is on the top of the apartment! 29th floor. :D i bet it's the best room in that building. ^^ Cisca told me that the kitchen is not as nice as I said. It's because she's a chef (professional 1), and back at her CA home, she got the real kitchen. One thing I can't forgot... I was fascinated at her knife sets. :D

After, I headed toward HuangPi T St. I went to Barbie's. Jacob told us (Rotaractors) to meet in front of the Isetan, thengo to Shum's for a meeting. I was wrooooong. I should get off at Nanjing Xi Lu St., Line 2. It was because of the stupid map. It was wrong. Well, maybe it was because the Isetan was there, then now it's relocated. Lol. Yea, another experience. Another 11RMB.

Shum's was really nice. It got a fancy bathroom, he shower is nice, but it's kinda small i think. And the price is really nice, lol.. 6000RMB (very expensive). But, yes, it's nice. Then we talked about fund raising and community service things. Also, we talked about Club Service and membership. The Rotaract life will be good here. :D Surely, we'll have a great ride within 2 or 3 weeks. I will just rent a bicycle. It's gonna be cool to ride to Pudong. We'll cross the bridge. Can't wait to do that.

A meeting w/out foods is boring. So, we ordered pizza. 15" and 12". I ate 2 pcs 15" and 1pc of 12". I was fed up (after nice party at Cisca's, I got another 1). What else do we got? Beer, Pocky, Coke, n i don't know what it called. hahaha... It was 6 of u, until Lana (Jacob's girl) came and we become 7. We left Shum's @ 9:40ish. The others went to the MRT 1st. Enrico n me wait for Shum to get her money. She had no more cash and she needed to pay Enrico for the dinner. After, Enrico n me ride the T. We talked a lot. And we just love to talk. Until we missed the station (ppl Sq.) which we shld interchange to the line 1 (frm the line 2). Thx God it's only 1 st. Then at ppl sq., we took the wrong T. It went to the opposite direction. Thx God again, it's only 1 stop (again). Enrico said he was following me. I was following him as well. It was just hillarious.

I got off at the Sh. indoor St., coz I just kept talkin w Enrico. From movies to work. Remind me to looked for someone (Chinese) who speaks English well, who could be a translator, and also s.o who could do a hospitality job. Then, I took the 43 bus. Surprisingly, when I was just about to got off, I met Dorina! With Miwa, and a Turkish guy (sorry i forgot our name).. We walked back to dorm together. We took the way beside the school. Apparently the gate locked already. The guy was told us to jump. And he did, so we could see how we shld do. Dorina went second, Miwa, then I'm the last 1. Nice 1 though. I will never forget abt it. Next time it got locked again, I'd just jump over it. LOL.

And, i got to rest now. Tommorow gonna be a long day.
Work hard, play hard.

*recharging*
