food coma + museumkaart

food coma, food coma...

3 days in a row i ate at restaurant due that and this reasons,
well, plus saturday when i made sushi with Dika :p
* first i'd like to take picture for my sushi but no time on it :p we ate it after i finished rolling my sushi. we made salmon sushi, tuna sushi and surimi sushi.
note for next time: buy a sharp knife!!! :p

monday went to Nam Kee enjoyed rice and rosted duck :)
tuesday went to Wagamama, i tried hot chili men, not bad tough :)
*we used a voucher for wagamama so, we could get half discount
today i and ka fedi went to Wing Kee, front of Dun Yong. their sambal and wan tan taste really good , rosted duck is tastes good too :),
* for you who always go to New King and Chang Xpress :P this restaurant also recommended to be visited, with the price similiar with New King.


what else?
my bf will back to Indo next week, yey :D finally i can sms him again instead calling him :D *dont dare to look on my phone bill :D

oh ja,

last monday i went to Rembrandthuis which located near of waterloplein (in direction to NieuwMarkt), then, i make an article about it for Ranesi. click here for read on m y article . my first impression was the house was small and there is no clear sign that that house is rembrandthuis :p this house not really famous. maybe because this house not located near of rembrandtplein :)
after entered it, hmm, i pretty like it, there is lot of good paintings, i like how rembrand played with perspective and of course, light. and i also amazed how he made etching in an metal plate with an acid. really, he is so good in the details.

i love his etching, and he also so narcist :p. he etched his face with some face's expressions. his paintings also influenced by bible stories. unfortunately, his famous paintings, the nightwatch wasnt hang in there. It is on Rijkmuseum :) well, next time i'll definetly visit Rijkmuseum.

i just bought museumkaart, and i am so excited to use it, i get access for 400 museums in netherlands with pay only 15 euro in a year :D. i am planning to go to museum at least once in a week. yes, this is also to fulfill my wish for this fourth year. :)

well, amsterdam historich museum, oudekerk, amstelkring, jood museum, etc will be on next destinations :D yey... :D and not forget, spoorwagenmuseum in Utrecht. I really want to go there :)

just found out that there is Cobramuseum in Amstelveen :D haha, anyone interest to accompany me to go there????


teman2.... ayooo beli museumkaart :p

=D

but it looks like that visiting museums not really interesting for some people. :)

me: i c, why princess loves such a hulubalang?
him: :D, how about it? why the princess wasnt loves prince or knight

being 21

Being 21,

i keep thingking that being 21 is the begin of the mature life
many things happens, and you have to decide your journey as soon as possible
because the time is ticking,

i keep thinking how to finish my fd,
i keep avoiding to think abot what will i do after i graduated,
thats scary outside,
which way, should i choose,

scary

ak ga tau kenapa ada orang milih nikah sebelum 21
maksud ak,
banyak hal terjadi
hidup ga sesimpel itu pilihannya dibanding kita berumur 21 ke atas.

ak sendiri,
semua harus ak pilih sendiri
tanpa tuntutan or bimbingan

mungkin lebih baik gitu,
karena ak tipe orang yg selalu menabrak dari apa yg diinginkan orang ke ak :)

i now,
in win and lose situation,
for my hopes
for my dreams
for our dreams

dan ini untuk pertama kalinya ak memikir masa depan orang lain dalam masa depanku

dan sepertinya ak belum siap

Salju!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well well well *celinguk jendela kantor

salju.............

akhirnya akhirnya akhirnya!

:)

Pemimpin Indonesia

Tiba-tiba saya teringat sepotong kenangan pemilu disaat saya masih kecil,

Waktu itu saya masih di Kalimantan, di kantor bapak saya yg BUMN itu sedang diadakan latihan pemilu (sekarang mau pemilu masih ada latihannya ga seh?). Jadi para karyawan dipersilakan untuk latihan suasana pemilu, seperti latihan nyoblos. Ketika hasil dari latihan pemilunya diumumkan,ternyata pemenangnya adalah Golkar dengan mengantongi 100% suara (tentu saja!).

Di sesi tanya jawab, salah satu karyawan disana bertanya pada salah satu orang pemerintah yg ada dsana dan kebetulan orang Golkar (tentu saja, lagi!)

"Bagaimana kalau pemilu nanti hasilnya Golkar semua?"

Bapak itu tersenyum,

"Ya tidak papa to, malah lebih bagus kalo Golkar semua yang menang,"

Saya yang masih kecil dan juga produk orde baru menyimpulkan dengan gampang, "Ya, kalo pemilu ya pasti yang menang Golkar, bukannya harusnya dan sepatutnya begitu."

Ibu saya ketika mendengar kata-kata orang itu langsung pasang muka sebal
"Kok dia ngmg gitu seh, ini bukan masa kampanye kok," tentu saja sambil berbisik-bisik, soalnya jaman itu, berpikiran seperti itu di lingkungan BUMN adalah hal yang tabu.

Ketika pemilu yang benar dilaksanakan, hasilnya (tentu saja) Golkar yang menang, tetapi yang mengejutkan bagi saya (waktu itu) ada beberapa orang yang memilih PDI.

Ibu saya kembali berbisik-bisik,
"Mama milih PDI tuh, bosen ah kalo Golkar terus yang menang"
Bapak saya,
"Ya, ayah harus milih Golkar donk, la wong Ayah dapet duit dari negara" katanya kalem.

Menyikapi pemilu yang masih setahun lebih, banyak para pemimpin Indonesia yang saling menuding dan bersilat lidah, saling menyalahkan, dan bersikap sebijaksana mungkin agar dipilih.

Ketika harus memilih siapa yg paling kompoten dari mereka semua itu, saya bingung. Abis dulu -katanya- si ini bagus, tapi kok begitu jadi presiden gitu-gitu saja, dulu -katanya- ini berkharisma, tapi jadi presiden kok melempem. Sama saja semuanya. :)

Mungkin lebih baik saya jadi golput saja ya, toh, orang Amerika sendiri yang mau memilih cmn 40% dari warganya, yg lainnya tidak peduli :D

day to day

this month was quiet busy to me, i mean; my assignment, my fd preparation, my organisation, moved to new room and my project.

But then, in the end of this month, everything was clear and finish, i mean again, i already submit my assignments and resits, expect this last project; i already investigate the possibility of my previous fd topic, and it turns zero possibility, then i changed my topic in three days, however, my tutor has already agreed with my topic, tough ;).

My project has done, a bit anti-climax i think :). However, for me the climax was in trinity church, when we got more than 500 euro in 3 hours. People just so generous and very nice. I think, for donating money for good reasons, Dutch people are more generous than Indonesian, don't you? remebering lot of people argues that Indonesian people nicer than western people :p

I already moved to my new room, exact the first building you met when you enter the Uilenstede housing. This is shared bathroom apartment, but i dont think it would be a problem for me, as long it much cheaper than school's accomodation (even compare than ordinary apartment you can find in this Amsterdam) :P
The thing that I realize, i have lots (i mean LOTS)of stuff to bring, thanks to people who help me to bring the Indri's cupboard to my house :D :D :D
and dont ask how could i bring this stuff when i move back home. I am surely dont know :D please just ask me when i will graduate,before you asked how i could bring my stuff :D!

my organisation, yay, finally tommorow is the serah terima jabatan (what's in english?). after two months dealing with this, :)

what else, guess i should back to writing my report, i bit afraid about what should i doing in next 3 months since i dont have any class anymore. :D I know that i should focus on my fd tough, but i still think that i should have something to do more than this. :D

any idea anyone? :D well, i know that i also worked part-time, but i think, you know something more challenging, something new and something who able to support my fd topic.
