Hectic day

19 Agustus 2012
Eid of Fitr on the plane

Fwuuh... Akhirnya saatnya tiba untuk saya meninggalkan tanah air tercinta. Kembali ke negeri orang, dan melanjutkan mimpi saya yg tertunda. Setelah beberapa Hari kemarin saya disibukan oleh urusan packing dan beres2 barang saya yang harus pindah dari kamar kostan . Dan juga bagaimana saya mengatur isi koper saya supaya tidak lebih dari 20kg beratnya. Dan ternyata berat maksimum yang boleh masuk ke bagasi untuk pesawat ini adalah 30kg. Uuhh informasi di web nya nggak akurat nih. Tapi ya sudah, 2 tas saya masih lebih dari 30kg kok :-P
untung ada mas nya yang baik.hati yang mau berbagi jatah kopernya dengan saya. Windy teman.saya malah lebih enak lagi, si masnya sekalian bayar airport tax nya. Duh rezeki ya mba :-P
Badan saya juga sempat drop karena lelah,terlalu capek. Penyakit kambuhan saya muncul:-( tapi syukurlah semua membaik dengan cepat, karena saya bertindak cepat untuk menanggulanginya.
Saat  ini saya tengah berada di atas ketinggian sekian puluh ribu kaki dengan menggunakan Yemen airways atau Yemenia. 2jam 30 menit telah saya tempuh semenjak lepas landas dari terminal 2 Soekarno Hatta airport. Kurang lebih 5 jam lagi perjalanan yg tersisa.Penerbangan kali ini beda dengan penerbangan saya yg pertama. Bosan!! tidak ada hiburan. Tak ada layar seperti yg saya dapat ketika saya terbang bersama qatar airways atau etihad ketika saya pulang kemarin. Yah.. Namanya juga tiket murah..itu pikir saya. Tapi untuk makanan sih tidak terlalu mengecewakan, masakan nya masih berasa di lidah:-P.. Saya akan tiba di Dubai sekitar pukul 7 malam waktu sana. Kami akan dijemput oleh travel agent tempat tiket kami dipesan. Lalu kami akan diantar menuju Abu dhabi.. Daaaaan.. Perform malam itu juga :-|x-(
rasa lelah sudah terbayang di kepala saya. But the show must go on ;-) i know i can do it.. Im strong enough :-)
Udah ah.. Saya mau rebahan.. Banyak kursi kosong tuh..
See you in UAE ;-)

Good Bye Ramadan :'(

Pukul 4 pagi, waktu Indonesia bagian barat. Saya baru menyelesaikan makan sahur untuk yang terakhir kalinya. Bersama silla tercinta.
Ramadan akan segera berlalu.. Fajar Idul Fitri akan segera terbit. Saatnya kita saling membebaskan rasa dendam, saling memaafkan. Kembali ke fitrah menuju kemenangan.
Saatnya orang-orang berkumpul dengan keluarga tercinta.. Berbagi moment dan berlebaran bersama. Saatnya menikmati ketupat dan opor ayam.
Bahagianya mereka yang masih bisa merayakannya bersama keluarga tercinta..
Sudah 3 tahun , atau 3 kali lebaran, saya tidak merasakan moment itu. Semua berlalu.
Seperti halnya tahun ini.. Saya harus meninggalkan keluarga saya di hari nan fitri, saya harus meninggalkan Indonesia, untuk kembali mengejar mimpi-mimpi saya yang tertunda.
Mungkin sama untuk tahun-tahun berikutnya :(
Namun, rasa syukur tetap mengalir di hati.. Bersyukur karena saya masih diberi kesempatan untuk bertemu dengan Ramadhan tahun ini. Masih diberi kesempatan untuk bertemu orang-orang tercinta.
Dan mengalir juga doa, semoga saya akan bisa dipertemukan kembali dengan Ramadhan tahun berikutnya.
Ya Allah, berikanlah selalu kesehatan, dan umur panjang kepada hamba, agar hamba dapat terus memperbaiki diri, menjadi insan yang lebih baik lagi.
Berikanlah rizki, agar hamba bisa terus berbagi dengan yang lain.
Berikanlah kekuatan iman, agar hamba selalu teguh berada di jalan - Mu
Amin

Siang ini saya berangkat ke Jakarta, besok siang saya akan terbang meninggalkan tanah air tercinta.
Sedih :'(
Namun harus tetap dijalani..
Semoga berkah :)

Minal Aidzin Wal faidzin..
Mohon Maaf Lahir Bathin

Independence Day


foto diambil dari Indonesian Photography page on FB-Fotografer: Benny Sugiarto Eko Wardojo

 Kangen rasanya ikut lomba agustusan waktu kecil dulu, atau sekedar nonton balap karung dan panjat pinang, permainan khas Agustusan. Atau menjadi pengisi acara di acara panggung agustusan. Saya masih ingat, pertama kali mulai bernyanyi di acara pesta kemerdekaan ini, ketika saya berumur 5 tahun. Bertahun tahun yang lalu...
 Dan kini..
Tak terasa.. 67 tahun sudah Indonesia merdeka..
Merdeka dari jajahan bangsa asing.. namun.. apakah benarjika kita sudah merdeka dari jajahan orang negeri kita sendiri? saya tidak tau! Silahkan kembalikan pada diri masing-masing.
Namun yang pasti untuk saya.. ada satu hal yang membuat saya merasa menyayangkan. Negeri yang seindah, sekomplit, seexsotis, sekaya dan kelebihan lainnya dari Indonesia, harus dipimpin oleh orang orang yang sebagian besar dari mereka mementingkan kepentingan sendiri. Licik, picik, mungkin.. itu persepsi saya. Entahlah.. saya tak ingin mengerti dan pusing akan politik negeri ini.
Korupsi, kolusi birokrasi seakan menjadi budaya bangsa ini.
Namun diluar itu, saya sangat Bangga menjadi salah satu manusia yang terlahir di negeri ini. Indonesia tercinta. Yang menjadi bagian benua Asia, melahirkan saya dengan kulit coklat natural yang kata orang luar sana 'Exotic' tanpa harus berjemur berjam-jam dalam sengatan matahari, menjadikan saya mengenal budaya yang kaya, menikmati siang dan malam dengan seimbang, tanpa harus terlalu lama atau terlalu sebentar, menikmati makanan hasil alam yang nikmat dan beragam, menikmati keindahan alam yang luar biasa, menikmati ramahnya orang-orang sekitar, saya bisa bebas namun bertanggung jawab menjadi diri saya.
Tak usah saya sebutkan kekurangan2nya di Hari kemerdekaan negeri ini, sebagian dari kita telah mengetahuinya, namun masih tetap mencinta. Itulah mencintai dengan apa adanya..


Dirgahayu negeri- ku.. Aku hanya ingin selalu damai berada di sini..


Happy Independence day my Indonesia .. You'll be in heart even i'll live faraway from you!

Bali another part

Its been almost a month that i didn't post any story on my blog. Since i came back to Indonesia. So many story passed..
Fasting time.. Vacation time in Bali .. And another interesting story or just usual story in my daily.
Maybe i will post each story on different page..
Today i just arrived from my short vacation in Bali.
I started on 7th of August. Direct flight Bandung - Denpasar, with 1 hour and 45 minutes.  and its also same for going back. With the same price. Its new route for this aircraft. So that's why they still have promo price for their ticket.
Its been a year since my last visit on November 2011.
Ngurah rai airport getting big. Now need more time to walk until it reach pick up zone or taxi queue. But its still under contractions in another part. I feel curious what it will look like when it finished :-)
My flight was at 12 pm on last Tuesday .. Arrived around 3 pm Bali time. Then taxi driver sent me to Windy's place (.Windy is my new friend and my new partner in Wired to the floor )
She stay in Bali also with another member of the Band she helped. I also knew them long time ago. Their band is Tazmania.
I paid 90 thousand Rupiah. Damn ! its faraway from the tourist center or beach. That's why stay in Bali at this time really different from.another stay. Mostly i stays close to Legian or Kuta area. Which is.. I can walk around..and easy to find anything i need. Its mean also safe more money for transport:-)
but those time i stayed in Denpasar. More KM away from Kuta or legian area.
The first day in Bali i just take a rest, talk and share with Windy.
It was my another visiting to Bali.. But Bali still have it attraction, still exotic, still good to walk around, the city that never sleep. The place for escaping from routine. The island that you can see people from around the world. Even now is Ramadan, you can't see the difference, not like in the other city in Indonesia. When the restaurant or cafe and bar must closed during the holy of Ramadan.

sunset at 66 beach 1st day
The second day, me and Windy went to double six beach. it was lil bit late, the sunset almost started when we arrived. So, i must forget about take the sun with my bikini. We just sit down and enjoy a bottle of beer. ( its good that i was in my period, so i didnt make fasting ;) )
Jazz band at Ryoshi
After the beach, we walked and ate sate near Bintang supermarket in Seminyak- Legian area. Then we took taxi to go to legian street. Walked around there, then walked back to Ryoshi (Japanese resto ) near the pplace where we ate sate. Cos the bassist who was work with me in Abu dhabi had performance there. Nice Jazz band ;)
Windy must leave to make rehearse with Tazmania, so i stayed alone take my Japanese dinner box. I watched this Jazz band until finished. Drank few bottle of beer made me lil bit tipsy. So i asked Windy to go to La Vida bar to kill the night. two mojito, then we drive back home. Second day, second night - Not bad!

The third day, i must go alone to the beach, cos Windy not feel so well, and she must prepare early cos she sing that night at Jp's. Jerry the guitarist send me by motorbike, until imam bonjol street, then i took public car to Kuta raya street. It was the first time for me to take public car in Bali except motorbike and taxi. its cheaper really than take taxi from Denpasar. it cost 5000 idr. From Kuta raya street i just walk to Kuta beach. i was looking for a place that Windy suggest me. She said the beach boys are from Bandung. It placed between Kuta and 66 beach. so i walked on the beach. and its so faraway, until i reach 66 beach area. fweeeuuuh'''''. and i found that place around 5pm. again, i missed the sun. But, I met new friends. The beach boys at Bonz bar, Wawan and Jack. They're nice :) ( thanks my new friend, i'll see you again :)
The sunset start, i sip my beer on the bottle. God ...The sunset is so beautiful. Klik'.. i take the pictures.
After the beach, i walk back to Kuta beach street, turn into poppies1 st. - legian st. - poppies st,- kuta beach st. damn! i just walking around! I decided to enter a new mall in Kuta. The name is Beach Walk, its big, but the shop inside only some of them already open.
 fwee.. my skin so sticky, its getting lil dark :p I change my beach clothes in the toilet and wash my face. Then i took taxi to go to Jp's, watch Tazmania band performed. Had my oxtail as a dinner, Jungle juice ( Bali's arak+orange/lemon juice) as a friend of my night.. cheerrss!!
3rd day, 3rd night - Tired but fun!!

On the 4th day, Jerry the guitarist drop me to the 66 beach. i went early this time. dont wanna missed another sun to take. But i think the weather not so good those time. The sun is up and down, cos hide behind the cloud. The wind also faster. But i succeed to make the sun bath that day ;) at last i put the bikini!! weeee ;)
And took another pictures of the sunset.. click click...
i walked to Bintang supermarket to buy some stuff before went back home.
At night me and Windy decided to go to new bar in petiteunget area. Mint Bar. Its Sucks!! its not our spot! bought the ticket for 100k each, and no free drink( i wish :p) most of the bar give it as a starter drink with that entry ticket) Maybe not in Bali :p
Forget about cheap Bintang like you can get at the most of bars in Legian area, cos it cost 50k for small bottle. and when we enter, damn!! so many 'ayam" inside.. looking for the lonely guy, or the guy looking for the hole to fu** .. its ok for me, but what i dont feel comfort, they think we are same. we enter there to catch the fish :p .. no no.. !!! we decided to go out from noisy, and move to Legian area, Eicon. Cos friend of Windy is there. ans he invited her to come. But, its also sucks!  Damn, why i forget to take Vodka at home before we go out, at least i can be lil tipsy to enjoy the night \! lol
4th day, 4th night - Burn at day-Sucks at night !

On the 5th day, i went again to the beach. took a public car, walked from kuta beach to Bonz bar.
me n wawan
and again, i missed the sun :( But its also because of the cloud. at 4pm, the sun too shy, she hide behind the cloud! so i just sit there and enjoy beer as usual, friend of Wawan bring the camera. He took pictures of me. that day i just made a photo session :p
I promise him to comeback tomorrow and bring bottle of Vodka to drink together, and my netbook to move all my pictures he took.
I walked to Legian st and stop at Warung Mina to get my dinner. its not bad. Chill out and drink with acoustic. But two of japanese guys really annoying. One of them came to my table and invited me to go out. Drink something, somewhere. at first i try to be polite to reject him, but when you're eat then suddenly someone sit beside you, and ask you how is your food, and you don't even know them. its weird! annoying actually! so i ignore him! the waiter come to my table just delivered the message from him " he just wanna say that He like you" and i just smile. I was busy with my phone, sorry :p
And for the night, i came to Bali Rock, Tazmania played there. but not so long, i feel so tired. I decided to go home before they're finished. Beside that i have appointment with my Bf to talk on Skype ;)
5th day, 5th night - Exhausted but satisfied at last ;)



One day before i go back to Bandung, me and Windy came to Bonz bar, photo shoot part 2, Vodka Orange, "Nasi Banyuwangi",sunbath, sunset, Mie ayam. with Wawan, Jack and brother of Wawan whos come also from Bandung. We had a plan to go to Espresso bar for last night party, but i cancel, cos not feeling well. So Jack ride me home. Thanks bro.. friends.. i'll se you when i see you again :)
Its always same when the time come to go home..
just wanna stay there, don't wanna leave Bali, Don't wanna go home.. But i must go back to my routine, my life..

So.. Bali this time.. not bad at all..
It would be so great if i can spend my holiday there with my lovely one. But, I'm sure.. we gonna make it one day..
