Im Back! New beginning with LUCKY part II
Wow!
Been long time i didn't post any story here! Actually , its not that long.. lol! 1 month!! But so many drama, and the stories that i missed to share :-p
yeaah.. I have been in country that Blogger is block!
Yes! China!!!
Not only Blogger. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google, etc!!!
its sucks, yes! I need free proxy or VPN to open all block sites, but some of them are blocked as well.
I found some free application, but...... this application ,make my laptop freeze so many times. two of my friends found their laptop totally hang cos of this application. So, i reinstall this one.
Hey.. its 2013!!
Time run so fast. and i can't post any greetings here, cos' i already in China on new year.
So lets walk back..
this story is connection from previous story, my last post on December 2012.
-------------
I was in Kuningan area too early. So i walked to Ambasador mall, when i walk i passed China Embassy, so the place for Visa process should be not faraway from there. I reach the mall, but its still closed. cos its 8 am. lol.. i never been in the mall too early like this. So, its my first experience. Why i went the mall? Cos i had so many things to do there. Print the online application at Internet cafe, take a photo and go to ATM. i can do all i need there. That i what i thought. But, in fact.. they don't have any internet cafe inside, the photo studio still closed even the mall open. one thing that succeed to do was withdraw my money from ATM. LOL!!
I ran around, went to the village around to find internet cafes. But didnt found one. And the times was running. 9.30 am. i should be in that building at least 10 am. cos for visa submit only until 11 am.
Oh yeah, before the mall open, i was waiting at dunkin Donut, drink a glass of hot chocolate, smoke and use their free wifi to find this building. And yeah, like usual, google map help me so much!
I decided to go to that building, even i didnt have any document that i need for this China's Visa. Maybe i will found something on the way.
I stopped at Oakwood building, hope that i can found something, but none! Oh ya, i stop by at travel agency to ask them to make this visa, but they don't want accept it, cos it too rush, and they dont have staff that day to process. This girl showed me where i must to go.
The building of Chinese Visa application center placed in The Edge Building. Not too far from Oakwood building. When i enter this building, i just turn to the right and the office is up stair near BNI Bank.
The security stopped me. And ask what is my purpose. So i explained him. And i told him, i dont have any document as their requirements to make Chinese Visa. He said, he can help to make it.
hmm.. Maybe i will have another Lucky! And yes.. In short.. i got my Chinese Visa, multiple entry, finished in the same day.. hahhahha.. ( i wont tell here how i got it :-p ) maybe its same case when i got stamp of UAE embassy. Too secret, and too embarrassing but easier. Maybe you know what i mean.
So, after i took my Passport with Chinese visa on it, i came back to Shangrilla hotel. Packed, and took a bus to bandung at 7 pm. I bring so many bags! one Extra big and heavy suitcase, two other hand carry bag, and one backpack and.. my blue pillow! The bellboy asked me, if i want take the taxi that had just dropped off passengers in front of the hotel's lobby. So i said yes. I told the driver to go to Xtrans Blora. The place of shutle bus that will take me to Bandung. On the way we talked. And he said he is from Malang.
I reached Xtrans Blora, the driver helped me to carry my bag, and i also carried my other bag. I was lil bit worried about my stuuff that i left outside, cos those day, the place so full of people. i paid taxi, and he's gone. I came to the cashier to book and pay the ticket, but i was in waiting list. Cos it will be long weekend cos of new year holiday. thats why everybody leaving Jakarta and come to Bandung. And the shuttle bus like this would be full.
when i was waiting, i called my bf, we can't talk on the phone cos' its too noisy, and he can't hear me. On that moment, i just realized that i missed something! My backpack!! ooh shiiit!!! its gone.. and i just realized 30 minutes later that i left it in taxi. FFFFFuuuuuu*****k!!!!!
I was panic yes! but i try to be calm, i called Blue bird call center to report this issue. They can't help much this time, cos i dont even know the number of taxi. Damn!
Then i called shangrilla, the taxi stand in the lobby. The guy said he will help me to see in cctv, which taxi i took, and the number. I must let my bus left without me inside, i took the next one until im sure what would happen with my backpack. There are so many important things inside! My laptop and all data, my watch, my External dvd player, and so on. I was thinking that this Lucky things will stop.
The time is running, i still don't know about my bag. On this hectic moment, there were two old men, one is blind, and one other led him to beg for alms only for eating. I was thinking.. Ya! i am in trouble, i have problem, but why i don't help other people. i still can do. And in my mind was thinking, maybe it will help my stuff back, i gave him nothing, but God promise will give more if we help the other, if we help poor people who need it. So, when i gave that money i was talking in my heart, hope it can help my stuff back.
I decided to take the bus, cos it would be getting late. and wont have another bus to go to Bandung. I try to be wise and calm faced this problem. I was thingking, maybe me, who was hurt another
unconsciously, or took others belonging unconsciously. i was ready to loose it. But, God answer my pray. God gave the promise God made. When the bus just left, i received a call from guy in shangrilla, he said he know the driver, he called him, and he will bring my bag back to the hotel. He couldnt do that time cos he is on the way to Bogor, which faraway from center of Jakarta. Fweeeeh... i relieve ! Thanks God.. God is good! I still Lucky, but i know.. where came from this Lucky! Alhamdulillah.
I reached bandung around 12 am. Bandung... i am Home!!!I stay in one small hotel in Cihampelas area in Bandung. Ok its cheap, but it doesnt mean i will stay with uncleanliness. and its too small to stay. So i decided to move in the next day. So me and one of my family looking for this hotel in the next day. But, cant find one. most of them are full. untill new year. hmm.
Then he realized that he read a promotion of hotel in newspaper. i asked him to check that hotel, when i prepare to check out from that small hotel. And it was another Lucky! i cant get the last promo room in Vio Hotel Surapati bandung for cheap price. Why i said Lucky, cos' after he book the hotel, there were some people came to ask the room, and the receptionist said 'it full!the last one was sold to this guy'
yeayyyh... im fully bless.. :)))))
I hope that its new good start.. for my new year.. for 2013..
Believe it or not! 2013 is my year! its mine.. even i know hard time and bad time would be between on my success. But its would be worth.
And yes...
it was not easy in China..
so many things that unpredicted..
But.. i never regret about decision that i took..
i learned so many things as always..

New beginning with LUCKY
The countdown will begin soon... 2012 turn to 2013..
Leave the past then live the future .. Learn from past, not repeat in the future.
New beginning.. another story.. another taste of life. Sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, salty or even flat.
i had a great story at the end of this year. My December is full of color and taste!
I feel so lucky on this past days.. So many things happened that i thought it would be bad, but then it turn good, and i felt lucky.
On 24th of December, on night of Christmas, i cried a lot.. i never been cried that hard for long time, as i told you before, this country that stayed before just too much drama. If i stay longer maybe i'll become a drama queen same as them :-p
I fight with my two boss, cos' of my canceling visa process.. ya.. its too complicated! I waited too long for this! And i don't even know why it process delayed! I gave my resignation notif letter on 16th of November, cos' i follow their rules i must wait 30 days before i can go home to my country, and with the deal that i will book my own ticket flight. It written on that letter that my last day would be on 15th of December, and they must be ready with my document on time, so i can leave soon.
But, what was happen, i must wait 10 days more to get my passport back with visa canceled! without any reason, why it took so long. What i heard from competent people, this process will take one day only.
Okay, let pass this sucks moment i stayed on uncertainty and hopeless. when i cried almost everyday, when i lost my weight 3 kg on a week. It just sucks! but i have someone who always support me to keep strong. I'm still Lucky !
So, this night i just came to the club that i worked before. and met my boss. we discuss, and we argue, and make drama which is made me cried so bad! But, I feel Lucky! Why? If i wasn't fight and argue i wouldn't get my document faster like i want it!
The day after, 25th of December, when i wake up, when i keep believe that i will hear a good news in the near future.. I got this good news. "Your Visa has been canceled. and you can get your passport tomorrow morning! book you flight!" Damn! this was the good news ever on my December! On that day i went to find some ticket, but as a Libra, who always think a lot, choosy, picky and compare everything before i take my decision. I didn't get any good one. all prices raises! I found the cheapest, but i must transit for minimum 9 hours. Oh no! Thats the last option i will take!So, I talk to my self!Lets wait until tomorrow! When i got home, i check again trough on line booking site, the prices are high and i just do nothing! Cos' nothing i can do. I don't have any option. Even when i saw this good price, flight from Dubai with Emirates cost less than 1600aed!and direct flight, on the date i desire, turn into 7700aed! I don't have any card to booking!! Damn!
I was thinking to take this cheapest price from AD with 9 hours transit in Doha. Thats the worst case. But, it wasn't! I still Lucky
The day after, i woke up early cos i know that i will get my passport in the morning. then i had a plan just go to travel agent and book my flight! One nice guy, which is Boss of my friend, he tried to find me a ticket what i want, but then i heard later, there was no longer available seat on that day. I keep checked on phone about the prices! higher and higher and no option! Then i just went to office and get my passport, but then this General Manager, which is my boss that i argued with before, said that the taxi driver will bring it and give it to you when he drive me to the airport! sigh!!! So i went to travel agency, around 2 pm, which is i know that in this country on this hour most of the office or the places will be closed for lunch break! But, i don't care!! i keep on going!
And yes, most of them are closed! would be open after 4pm. Damn! I can't wait longer!
So i decided to go to one of the big travel agency in AD. Omein travel. And Yes!!! it open.
This Filipino girl check the flight i want, and i heard the same prices as i checked by my self through my phone. But then, she said, she found something good. Emirates. Flight from Dubai direct to Jakarta with 1700dhs. 27th early in the morning. I was check this flight. it cost 7700dhs, and she was check some minutes before it also 7700. But then some minutes after it just appear! Without doubt i said yes for thisf light! WOW! I'm just Lucky!
I reached Jakarta on the same day, on Thursday, around 3 pm. I go direct to Shangrilla hotel in Jkt. One of my friend sing there. so i just slept over there, cos i must make my Chinese visa on Friday morning.
On Friday, i woke so early. I started on 7 am, cos i worried, that i will get stuck on traffic. cos' Jkt in the morning always have very bad, annoying, sucks traffic! But, i reached kuningan area in 10 minutes! ow!
To be continued ( i must run, catch my bus to Jakarta) lol
Leave the past then live the future .. Learn from past, not repeat in the future.

Sayonara
I don't even look outside of the car, to see abu dhabi for the last time.
No, I'm not gonna miss this country.
I have enough!
I will never say I will never come back to this country.. We never know how and what the future is.
But for now, I just feel like a prisoner who's got their freedom, out of jail.
This country..
The people, some of them just.. Sucks!! But, not all.. Some are nice, some are kind, some are great person.
I know for sure, this country isn't for me.. I love freedom, I hate something fake, I act fast, I hate slow, I hate racism and discrimination.
But I was survived until the last time!
Survived from sucks situation, from the people who's fucked me up
Waited that long for no reason.
I am proud of my self!
Thanks Abu dhabi, you teach me a lot of things. Teach me more how is life, making a stronger me in the future.
I learns about patience, I learn about harf life, I learn about for being honest, I learn to be a better singer as well ;)
Thanks for friends who's love me, treat me as a family, regard me as a sister.
Thanks for friends who's hate me, don't like me, but really! I'm not your rival, I'm your best rival! Lol
Maybe someday I will come back to UAE.. We never know! But not now.. Not this month, not this closest time..

Curhat ku
Ya Allah..
Kuatkan aku, beri aku kesabaran lebih menhdapi ini semua.
Aku tau rencana Mu jauh lebih indah dari yang aku impikan, lebih istimewa dari yang aku bayangkan.
Aku tak akan meminta untuk menyudahi semua kesukaran, namun ringankan lah, dan berikanlah hamba hati yang kuat, pendirian yang kokoh, juga kesabaran berlapis.
Jika memang ini karma dari perbuatan jahat atau buruk ku terhadap orang lain yang tanpa sadar kulakukan,aku terima dengan ikhlas, namun ampunilah dosa2 ku.
Jika memang ini cobaan Mu, kuatkanlah aku dalam menjalaninya
Jika memang ini ujian Mu, caraMu untuk menaikkan taraf dan derajatku di masa yang akan datang, tenangkan dan sabarkan hatiku.
Aku yakin, orang hebat dan sukses tidak ditempa dengan kemudahan dan kesenangan. Namun dididik dengan kesukaran dan keras nya hidup.
Jangan jauhkan aku dari rasa syukur, jadikan aku manusia dan hamba-Mu yang selalu menikmati dan mensyukuri sekecil apapun pemberian-Mu
Berikan aku jalan, buka kan pintunya, permudah dan lindungi selalu perjalananku, dan tetapkan hatiku untuk selalu berada di jalurnya. Jalan-Mu yang berlimpah berkah

Kuatkan aku, beri aku kesabaran lebih menhdapi ini semua.
Aku tau rencana Mu jauh lebih indah dari yang aku impikan, lebih istimewa dari yang aku bayangkan.
Aku tak akan meminta untuk menyudahi semua kesukaran, namun ringankan lah, dan berikanlah hamba hati yang kuat, pendirian yang kokoh, juga kesabaran berlapis.
Jika memang ini karma dari perbuatan jahat atau buruk ku terhadap orang lain yang tanpa sadar kulakukan,aku terima dengan ikhlas, namun ampunilah dosa2 ku.
Jika memang ini cobaan Mu, kuatkanlah aku dalam menjalaninya
Jika memang ini ujian Mu, caraMu untuk menaikkan taraf dan derajatku di masa yang akan datang, tenangkan dan sabarkan hatiku.
Aku yakin, orang hebat dan sukses tidak ditempa dengan kemudahan dan kesenangan. Namun dididik dengan kesukaran dan keras nya hidup.
Jangan jauhkan aku dari rasa syukur, jadikan aku manusia dan hamba-Mu yang selalu menikmati dan mensyukuri sekecil apapun pemberian-Mu
Berikan aku jalan, buka kan pintunya, permudah dan lindungi selalu perjalananku, dan tetapkan hatiku untuk selalu berada di jalurnya. Jalan-Mu yang berlimpah berkah

Happy Anniversary
Musim dingin akan segera dimulai, atau mungkin ini adalah awal dari musim dingin. oouuuch!! I hate cold!!
Tahun lalu, hujan tak berhenti mengguyur kota Bandung sepanjang November. Dan itu membuat saya memutuskan untuk kabur dari derasnya hujan Bandung menuju matahari Bali. Yap! 1 tahun lalu saya mengunjungi Bali selama 2 minggu. Sebenarnya bukan sekedar Hujan atau Dingin yang membuat saya terbang ke Bali. Patah hati! itu alasan utamanya. Refresh! itu yang saya butuhkan pada saat itu.
Saya datang kesana tidak bermimpi atau berharap untuk bertemu seseorang yang lain yang bisa menyatukan kembali puing-puing hati yang tengah pecah dan berdarah. Yang tengah patah terbelah. Saya hanya ingin hangat, saya tak mau menggigil kedinginan. Saya hanya tak ingin terpuruk. dari gelap menuju terang. menyingkap mendung dengan sinar mentari.
Dan ya! Sunset pantai kuta dan double six membuat saya tenang, bergairah menjalani hidup, juga bersyukur atas nikmat-Nya.
Betapa indah cerita yang Tuhan tulis untuk jalan cerita hidup saya.
Setelah hujan Tuhan ciptakan pelangi.
Dipertemukanlah saya dengan seseorang yang sangat istimewa.
yang bisa membuat saya kembali bermimpi
yang bisa membuat saya kembali berharap
yang bisa mebuat saya kembali hidup
yang bisa membuat saya merasa berharga
membuat saya menjadi diri saya.
dan membuat saya menjadi saya yang seharusnya!
Dia susun kepingan-kepingan hati saya yang berserak satu persatu dengan kasih sayang dan rasa percaya! Dia tanam bibit cinta di dalamnya. Dia siram dengan segala perhatian juga kejujuran. Dan dia jaga dengan kesetiaan.
Dia tidak sempurna, begitupun saya. Namun kekosongan yang bisa saling terisi membuat kami memutuskan untuk meyakini mimpi dan harapan, bahwa suatu hari nanti mimpi dan asa akan terwujud nyata.
Bukan satu kali rasa pedas mencampuri manisnya gula, bukan juga satu kali cemburu menjadi bumbu. Beberapa kali amarah terpecah sehingga terlintas untuk menyerah. Kadang ketika marah, saya mengucap kata pisah!!
Jarak ribuan mil dapat memisahkan tubuh kami, raga kami namun tidak hati kami.
Perbedaan waktu, perbedaan warna kulit, perbedaan budaya, perbedaan bahasa, perbedaan suku bangsa, perbedaan agama, perbedaan pendapat, perbedaan pemikiran, perbedaan dalam segala hal. Tidak mebuat kami menghentikan langkah menuju Bahagia!
Kami menjadi pasangan bukan hanya karena banyak persamaan, namun juga karena banyaknya perbedaan.
tidak mudah menjalaninya..!
wajar jika saya merasa bangga dan bahagia, saat hari ini tiba!
karena perjalanan selama 12 bulan ini tak mudah..
I'm sorry if i always Hungry
I'm sorry when I'm Angry
I'm sorry when i feel Worry
I'm sorry i can't come early to your country
And
I'm sorry if you had got jealous with my Blackberry
But....
Thanks for loving me Extraordinary
Thanks for the gift with "battery"
Thanks for always be my baby, my only and my fairy
Thanks for all the best memory
and one more thing with ry...
I really would be happy.. if someday we get marry :-P
Happy anniversary!

Welcome December 2012
Sudah dua hari ini Abu dhabi diguyur hujan, bukan hujan yang begitu
deras dan lama, namun cukup menyegarkan kota yang panasnya mencapai 50
derajat celcius saat musim panas. And its look amazing, sudah lama
rasanya tidak melihat hujan atau pun berjalan dibawah hujan
gerimis.Disini mungkin belum terlalu, tapi di Dubai kota sebelah curah
hujannya agak cukup deras sehingga mengakibatkan banjir. Ternyata bukan
negara Indonesia saja yang dilanda banjir dikala musim hujan tiba. Tapi
tidak sampai merendam atap-atap rumah seperti halnya yang sering terjadi
di sudut kota Bandung, seperti contohnya yang terjadi di Soreang atau
Banjaran tahun ini.
Udara Abu dhabi saat ini mengingatkan saya akan kota kelahiran, Bandung. Udara nya sudah mulai sejuk, malah dingin seperti kota Bandung setelah diguyur hujan. Angin nya memang agak besar, katanya bisa sampai terjadi hujan pasir, atau badai pasir. Ya, beberapa minggu lalu saya sempat melihatnya dari balik jendela..
Bulan kemarin, November. Banyak sekali kejadian di luar dugaan, atau mungkin sekedar bumbu perjalanan hidup. Supaya tidak flat, jadinya naik turun dan biar agak seru dan sedikit tegang!
ya, apapun itu.. semua menjadi bahan pengalaman hidup juga bahan pembelajaran untuk saya.
Bagus ataupun jelek harus tetap disyukuri. tanpa rasa sakit kita tidak akan pernah belajar. Rasa sakit adalah obat kuat untuk menjadi sosok yang lebih kuat di masa yang akan datang.
Saya cuma berdoa.. juga berusaha , seperti biasanya..
bahwa hari esok akan lebih baik dari kemarin..
bulan depan akan menjadi lebih baik lagi dari bulan sebelumnya..
Kalangan tertentu boleh menganggap jika bulan ini adalah bulan penghujung kehidupan
bulan dimana berakhirnya kehidupan di jagat raya,Musnahnya alam semesta, the end of the world.
Wallohu alam.. tak ada yangpernah tahu akan hari itu!
dan rumor itu tidak akan menghentikan usaha, harapan dan doa-doa saya untuk menjadi lebih, lebih baik dan baik lagi!
Sehat jiwa dan raga, rejeki yang berlimpah, ketenangan hati, ketentraman pikiran, kepuasan bathin, dan tak lupa.. kemapanan dan konsistensi perasaan! Aamiin ya rab..
Welcome December.. i know you would be great as a year ago
New start for new life
The beginning instead the ending
start for every kind of the great things..
I am ready.. always!

Pengalaman pertama naik pesawat ke luar negeri
Di postingan ini saya akan berbagi pengalaman pertama saya terbang berjam-jam lamanya menuju Abu dhabi UAE.. Dan juga mengurus segala keperluan menuju AD
Pesawat yang saya tumpangi adalah Qatar Airways, Jakarta - Abu Dhabi yang tentunya transit di Doha, Qatar.
Saya mempunyai tiket berbentuk e-ticket yang masih tersimpan di email saya. Saya baru akan print tiket tersebut di kantor Qatar di bandara.
Di E-tiket jadwal penerbangan saya tertulis Sunday, June 3rd 2012 - 17.40
Dan saya harus sudah berada di bandara 2 jam sebelumnya. Kira-kira jam 15.40 saya harus sudah berada di bandara. Karena saya dari Bandung, maka saya harus naik travel Bandung - Jakarta dengan estimasi 4-5 jam sebelumnya. saya mencoba menelepon Cipaganti, travel ternama yang biasa mengangkut penumpang tujuan Jakarta ataupun kota lainnya. Dan khususnya menuju bandara. Dan ternyata saya harus berangkat dengan estimasi 5 sampai 6 jam sebelumnya, dikarenakan ada perbaikan jalan di sekitar tol Cipularang, dikhawatirkan terjadi sesuatu seperti macet yang bisa mengakibatkan keterlambatan sampai di tujuan. saya disarankan untuk memesan travel pada pukul 10 pagi. Namun, mba nya yang melayani saya mengatakan, jam segitu, dan jam yang lainnya pada hari itu sudah penuh dipesan. Kalaupun ada, harganya lebih mahal. dan lebih private sebanyak 4-5 orang dengan menggunakan mobil Avanza. Saat itu saya sedang benar2 menghemat, karena persiapan jika bagasi saya betul2 lebih. jadi saya memutuskan untuk mencari travel lain, dan ternyata sama! penuh! Ah, nekad deh, besok nya aja saya mau langsung ke pool yang di pasteur, sapa tau ada yang telat atau ngga jadi berangkat.
Alhasil, saya dapet cipaganti juga :D jam 10.15 am.. itu pun mepet banget,macet banget bandung pagi itu.jadi ga sempet melepas rindu sama delpierro tercinta. ( terima kasih my x-hubby for helped me to get this bus, and for all your support!)
Ternyata perjalanan Bandung - Airport lancar. Saya tidak menemukan perbaikan jalan di tol Cipularang. mmh.. bisa nunggu lama nih di bandara, pikir saya. Ah, tapi masih banyak juga yang harus saya kerjakan sebelum terbang, salah satunya saya harus mencari money changer. tukar rupiah ke dirham.
Sekitar jam 13.30 saya sudah sampai di bandara, ambil trolley,trus angkut deh tuh koper yang segede gaban. saya bawa 1 koper besar, 1 koper kecil dan tas laptop gendong ( saya masukin apa yg bisa dimasukin di small bag back ini) fwuuuh lumayan pemirsa.. berkeringat!! angkut-angkut sendiri.
Saya dorong trolley kesana-kemari untuk mencari kantor qatar yang berada di terminal 2.. Dan ternyata berada di bawah. saya dorong trolley menuju lift. menuju kantor qatar airways yg berada di ujung sebelah kiri.
lalu saya menunjukan kode e-tiket, pasport juga visa. Dari visa yang ditunjukan dan tiket yang hanya one way, si mas nya sudah tahu kalau saya akan bekerja di negara tujuan. Seorang wanita setengah baya keluar dari ruangan sebelah dan memeriksa visa saya.
"Sudah punya KTKLN(Kartu Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri) belum?" saya menjawab belum. Mampus deh, ternyata saya memang harus punya kartu ini. Lalu saya menanyakan bagaimana dan dimana saya bisa mendapatkan kartu ini. Juga tidak lupa berapa biaya yang harus saya keluarkan.
Dan ibu itu menerangkan, bahwa saya bisa membuat karu ini dengan gratis karean tenaga kerja profesional, di kantor KTKLN di lantai atas. Setelah saya mendapat print tiket saya langsung kembali menuju lantai atas, mencari lagi dimana kantor KTKLN ini berada. Tanya security bandara, ternyata counter nya berada di terminal 2D keberangkatan International.
Saya memasuki pintu terminal 2D, melalui security check, dan langsung menuju counter KTKLN. Banyak para TKI yang sedang mengurus kartu tersebut disana. Saya dipersilahkan masuk, dan menunjukan pasport juga Visa. Dan staff yang melayani saya menanyakan tentang surat kontrak kerja saya, saya bilang, bahwa kontrak ekrja belum saya print, masih ada di email.
" Bisa saya print di sini ngga pak?disini ada koneksi internet ngga pak?" sambil pasang muka semanis mungkin saya nyerocos. Dan bapak itu menggeleng "Engga bisa neng, coba deh ke counter validasi KTKLN di sebelah sana, cari pak R, bilang dari pak D". Saya mengangguk lalu langsung menggiring troli saya menuju tempat yang ditunjuk. Jaraknya sekitar 600 meter dari counter ini menuju counter validasi. saya langsung menanyakan nama Pak R yg disebutkan. Ternyata orangnya masih muda. Dia menanyakan passport, visa juga kontrak kerja. lalu saya menjelaskan apakah bisa minta tolong untuk print surat kontrak tersebut. dia meminta saya untuk mengirimkan kontrak kerja melalui email pribadi dia. Kurang lebih 5 menit, dia sudah mendapatkan emailnya, dan mulai membaca nya.
"Ya sudah, sana bikin kartunya" katanya. Jadi kontraknya? engga usah di print??
"sudah saya baca, balik lagi ke counter sana dan bilang,saya yang suruh bikin kartunya." Masih dengan senyuman termanis saya mengangguk mantap dan setelah mengucapkan terima kasih saya menggiring kembali troli saya menuju counter KTKLN.
Di dalam counter staff akan menanyakan data-data pribadi, termasuk gaji dan berapa lama kontrak kerja.
Setelah itu diphoto. Tunggu bberapa menit. Dan taraaaa!!! KTKLN sudah jadi.!!
Dalam hati saya berucap "Alhamdulillah" Terima kasih ya Allah, sejauh ini saya sudah dipermudah.
Now is check in time.. deg-degan memprediksi berapa yang harus saya bayar untuk kelebihan bagasi. Walaupun saya sudah tahu bahwa berat koper saya adalah 31Kg, di waktu yang sangat mepet saya sempat ikut nimbang di cipaganti travel sebelum berangkat..heheh.. :D Sementara baggage allowance cuma 23kg.
Saya menuju counter check in Qatar airways, dilayani pria muda yang agak feminim :p
Menujukan tiket, passport juga menyiapkan Rp. 150.000 untuk airport tax.
menempatkan bagasi di timbangan, dan hup! ya, 31 kg. saya menahan nafas. Kemudian dia menyebutkan kalau saya harus membayar krang lebih sembilan ratus ribu rupiah untuk kelebihan bagasi saya.Fwuuh, tidak begitu mengagetkan. Saya masih mampu membayar dengan nominal yang disebutkan.
Singkat cerita saya diberi kemudahan lainnya.. saya hanya membayar 500 ribu rupiah dengan 1 koper kecil lainnya masuk bagasi. :D Menyenaaangkaan! ( rahasia tetap ada di senyum semanis mungkin :D)
Yap! Check in beres.. sekarang tinggal mencari apa yang saya butuhkan.
Rokok, Uang dirham, cemilan kecil dan mungkin pasta gigi :D
Ada untungnya saya tiba lebih cepat di bandara, saya masih punya waktu untuk mengurus segala keperluan saya.
saya menuju pintu keluar, sambil menggendong tas laptop yang tak seberapa itu ( bentuknya sudah menggelembung karena memasukan segala macam keperluan di dalamnya )
kaki saya sudah muali lecet, padahal saya memakai sneaker, tapi karena memakai kaos kaki tipis ( sobek di bagian belakang saking tipisnya x_x) dan, berjalan juga setengah berlari kesana kemari, jadinya agak berkeringat dan lecet.
Tadinya saya mau nongkrong dulu di salah satu cafe sambil ngeroko gitu, tapi ternyata pencarian saya menuju Alfa Express dan money changer sangatlah memakan waktu. saya berkeliling, naik turun tangga, naik turun lift. Padahal, ternyata jarak money changer dan Alfa sangatlah berdekatan di kedatangan international lantai bawah, terminal berapa, saya tidak ingat. saya kurang teliti , kemungkinan saya sudah mulai agak error.. *_*
Semua yang saya butuhkan sudah di tangan. Satu tentengan lagi di tangan saya sekarang. Di tangan lainnya saya membawa bantal biru kesayangan juga jaket kulit. Duh.. asli ribet!
Saya kembali memasuki terminal 2D, saatnya pengecekan imigrasi
Liat papan petunjuk, mana counter buat indonesian mana buat foreigner. Kebetulan tidak terlalu penuh juga saat itu, jadi saya langsung menuju counter, menunjukan semua dokumen. Dan cop! Di cap deh.. Immigration Checked!!!!
Melengganglah saya dengan manis menuju gate D3. Dan ternyata sepanjang menuju gate D3, ada banyak toko dan money changer ,tau gitu ngga usah kelilingin terminal 2 tadi ( maaf ndesooo.. baru masuk terminal internasional x_x)
Sebelum masuk gate D3, saya mampir dulu di salah satu cafe untuk menikmati segelas milo dingin. Sambil ngeroko tentunya :p , karena distulah smoking area yang nyaman. Jam baru menunjukan pukul 4 sore. Waktu boarding yg tertera di boarding pass jam 4.30
fwuuh, akhirnya.. 1 langkah lagi nih, melewati security check dan saya akan terbang meninggalkan Indonesia tercinta. Setelah sekitar 15 menit saya meninggalkan cafe tersebut, menuju gate D3, menunjukan boarding pass melalui security check, dan petugas melarang botol air mineral yang tadi saya beli di mini market untuk di bawa ke dalam pesawat. Terpaksa saya habiskan disitu. Masuk ruang tunggu di gate D3, setelah sebelumnya menunjukan boarding pass juga pasport kepada petugas maskapai di pintu masuk ruang tunggu. Saya sempatkan untuk cuci muka dan mengganti kemeja saya dengan kaos bertangan panjang. Karena saya yakin di dalam pesawat nanti akan kedinginan. Panggilan untuk memasuki pesawat terdengar, saya segera meninggalkan kamar mandi. Staff maskapai menyobek boarding pass yang saya tunjukan. Lalu kemudian saya memasuki pesawat bersama penumpang lainnya. Orang arab, italia, indo, dan penumpang berwarga negara lainnya. Saya dapat tempat duduk di kursi 26f bersama seorang pria arab (mungkin :p)
Kursinya lumayan lega, dilengkapai monitor kecil di punggung kursi yang ada di depan saya. selimut, bantal kecil sudah disediakan di setiap tempat duduk, headseat dan tas kecil berwarna biru yang berisi sikat gigi ,kaos kaki juga penutup mata (buat tidur) sudah berada di kantung kursi di depan saya. Sebelum take off , layar monitor menayangkan demo petunjuk keselamatan pesawat.
Saat take off tiba, saya memejamkan mata sambil berdoa. Selamat tinggal Indonesia tercinta, tapi saya pasti kembali :)
Setelah beberapa saat lampu tanda sabuk pengaman dimatikan, saya buru-buru menuju toilet yang ada di depan, dari tadi saya nahan pipis. baru kali ini saya masuk toilet di pesawat terbang. mungkin berbeda jauh bila dibandingkan dengan pesawat tujuan domestik. karena di dalamnya disediakan lotion, body mist, moisturizer, juga kertas buat tempat duduk toilet.
setelah kembali dari toilet, saya memutuskan untuk pindah tempat duduk di bagian tengah, berjarak sekitar 2 nomor dari tempat duduk saya semula. Jadi saya lebih leluasa untuk selonjoran ataupun tiduran. hari itu agak lumayan banyak kursi kosong.
Perjalanan Jakarta - Doha memakan waktu 9 jam 15 menit. Dalam perjalanan mereka menyajikan makan sebanyak dua kali, juga menyediakan minuman hangat dan dingin. bagi yang suka minum, minuman beralkohol bisa diminta secara gratis. walaupun saya suka minum, namun saya memilih untuk tidak minum alkohol selama perjalanan dalam pesawat. Saya lebih tertarik dengan layanan hiburan yg mereka sediakan.sepertinya sayang kalau dilewatkan. jadi saya memilih untuk nonton film, dan mendengarkan musik.sambil selimutan, pakai kaos kaki, nyaman betul. saya sempat tidur selama 1 jam.
Akhirnya setelah sekian jam berlalu, pesawat landing di Doha, Qatar. Waktu lokal menunjukan sekitar pukul 11 malam. Saya juga para penumpang transit lainnya diantar bis menuju terminal. awas jangan sampai salah terminal, karena untuk transit dan kedatangan tempatnya berbeda.
Setelah saya melalui security check, dan menunjukan passport juga tiket pesawat tujuan abu dhabi. Saya berkeliling sebentar di duty free. rasanya seperti di mall :p
Saya harus menunggu selama 3 jam 20 menit sebelum penerbangan berikutnya. yang pertama saya cek adalah.. wifi.. supaya saya bisa mengabari jika saya sudah sampai Doha. Akhirnya saya bisa connect selama beberapa saat, karena sesudah itu koneksi saya terputus. Saya menunggu di tempat duduk dekat gate 22. melalui gate inilah pesawat menuju AD akan terbang pada jam 2.15 am seperti yg tertera pada tiket saya.
Hal selanjutnya yang saya cari adalah, tempat buat ngecharge hp. ternyata semua tempat penuh. Jadi saya meutuskan untuk jalan keliling terminal, nyari smoking area. Yang ternyata berada lumayan jauh dari gate 22.
Di smoking area ini saya bertemu dengan seorang wanita seumuran saya asal Jakarta. Dia akan pergi menuju Paris, menemui kekasihnya, sekalian ada kerjaan selama 2 minggu. Setelah ngobrol sana sini, saya antar dia mencari money changer untuk menukar Rupiah dengan Euro yang ternyata mereka tidak menerima Rupiah. jadi sebaiknya, tukar dulu rupiah ke mata uang yang diinginkan sebelum meninggalkan Indo. jadinya urung niat kami untuk sekedar minum teh hangat atau makan. jadinya kami nongkrong di dekat duty free lantai atas, sambil ngecharge BB saya. (kami menjadi pusat perhatian setiap orang yang lewat karena dengan santainya selonjoran duduk di lantai)
waktu telah menunjukan saatnya kami harus boarding. Dia menuju gate yang berbeda dan jaraknya agak lumayan jauh dari gate 22. Jadi kami saling berpamitan. Dan berharap suatu saat kami akan bertemu kembali.
Saya sudah sangat lelah.. betapa rindunya badan ini dengan kasur dan bantal guling. Dengan lunglai saya berjalan menuju ruang tunggu di gate 22, ternyata counter nya belum dibuka, namun sudah ada petugas nya didalam yang melayani penumpang lain dengan pesawat lain tentunya juga tujuan lain. Saya sempat merebahkan diri sejenak, menutup mata saya beberapa menit di kursi tunggu. dan akhirnya boarding time tiba juga, saya berdiri dibalik antrian panjang diantara sebagian pria arab, dan kulit hitam juga beberapa wanita bule dan kulit hitam, dan tidak luput, para filipina ( saya baru ngeuh setelah saya tiba di abu dhabi, banyak banget orang- orang sana) yang saya sempat kira orang-orang kita juga.
Sebelum masuk pesawat saya harus menunggu bis yang akan mengantar para penumpang menuju pesawat. Bis pun tiba. Para penumpang naik satu per satu.
Setelah di dalam pesawat, pramugari dan pramugara membagikan makanan hangat, yang saya yakin itu makanan khas arab, yang ternyata namanya Shawarma ( saya baru tahu setelah tinggal di Abu dhabi sekitar 2 minggu) buat yang sudah nonton film The Avengers, pasti agak ngeuh sama makanan satu ini, karena ada slah satu adegan dimana Iron man ngajak Captain America makan Shawarma, malah para super hero makan shawarma bersama di scene akhir.. hahahha
Setelah lahap makan shawarma, saya terlelap. Dan terbangun ketika pesawat sudah akan landing. perjalannya hanya memakan waktu kurang lebih 1 jam.
Saya tiba di Abu dhabi pukul 4 lebih pagi itu. Saya masih deg-degan karena harus melewati imigrasi disana juga cek bagasi. hmmpph...
Bandara Internasional Abu dhabi bangunannya megah, desainnya mewah, saya memandang berkeliling sambil berjalan menuju imigrasi..takjub!
sesampainya di sana, saya sudah melihat antrian panjang, dimana tiap counter melayani penumpang yang berbeda, untuk pendatang foreign country ( it must be here for me) Untuk residen, dan untuk Citizen atau penduduk lokal. Sebelum saya berbaris di antrian, petugas berbaju khas arab jubah putih, melihat saya memegang visa dan menyuruh saya untuk eyes scan, atau scam mata di ruangan sebelah kiri. Saya sudah memegang visa atau entry permit yang asli di tangan saya, jadi tidak perlu lagi datang ke kantor imigrasi untuk mengambil. Karena sebagian para pekerja, mereka hanya mendapat copy-an nya dan harus mengambil dokumen asli di ruangan khusus.
Saya memasuki ruangan itu, sambil mengucap salam, petugas laki-laki berjubah putih itu mempersilahkan saya duduk meminta entry permit dan menyuruh saya melihat pada alat scan mata, 3 detik selesai. dan saya bergabung di antrian. Tiba giliran saya, passport, dan entry permit di periksa, dan jreb.. passport saya di cap! Alhamdulillah.. saya berjalan menuju baggage claim. satu lagi, pemeriksaan bagasi. saat itu saya beruntung, karena petugas nya sedang asyik maenin hp, jadi dia tidak terlalu peduli dengan bagasi dan barang bawaan yang saya bawa, walaupun saya tidak membawa barang yang terlarang. untuk anda yang akan memasuki negara lain, mohon bawa barang yang aman dan tidak mencurigakan, ngga mungkin kan masukin kulkas ke dalam koper :-p Jadi bawa barang keperluan anda yang tidak dipertanyakan dan diperbolehkan. apalagi masuk UAE.. aturan nya ribet!
fweeeh.. lega.. akhirnya saya tiba di Abu Dhabi dengan lancar.. saat itu betapa bahagianya saya ketika keluar pintu dan melihat pacar saya menunggu kedatangan saya. Dia datang dengan supir taksi dari hotel.
Rasanya saya ingin langsung berlari dan memeluknya dan menciumnya, tapi.. saya tahan, bisa-bisa saya ditegur security! karena di UAE juga ada aturannya untuk tidak menunjukan keintiman di depan public jika, suami istri sekalipun :P
hmmm.. ternyata tidak seribet yang saya baca di artikel-artikel yang selama ini saya googling..
semuanya tergantung kesiapan diri kita sendiri. Entah itu hal nyata yang berupa dokumen pribadi, ataupun mental, juga.. keberuntungan :-p
Yang pasti siapkan segalanya dengan teliti. berdoa jangan lupa, dan pasang senyum manis. Insya allah segalanya lancar ;)
Semoga postingannya membantu untuk yang baru pertama naik pesawat ke luar negeri.
Jika ada pertanyaan, jangan sungkan ;)
saya tidak serba tahu, namun siapa tahu saya tahu dan bisa membantu.

Saya memasuki pintu terminal 2D, melalui security check, dan langsung menuju counter KTKLN. Banyak para TKI yang sedang mengurus kartu tersebut disana. Saya dipersilahkan masuk, dan menunjukan pasport juga Visa. Dan staff yang melayani saya menanyakan tentang surat kontrak kerja saya, saya bilang, bahwa kontrak ekrja belum saya print, masih ada di email.
" Bisa saya print di sini ngga pak?disini ada koneksi internet ngga pak?" sambil pasang muka semanis mungkin saya nyerocos. Dan bapak itu menggeleng "Engga bisa neng, coba deh ke counter validasi KTKLN di sebelah sana, cari pak R, bilang dari pak D". Saya mengangguk lalu langsung menggiring troli saya menuju tempat yang ditunjuk. Jaraknya sekitar 600 meter dari counter ini menuju counter validasi. saya langsung menanyakan nama Pak R yg disebutkan. Ternyata orangnya masih muda. Dia menanyakan passport, visa juga kontrak kerja. lalu saya menjelaskan apakah bisa minta tolong untuk print surat kontrak tersebut. dia meminta saya untuk mengirimkan kontrak kerja melalui email pribadi dia. Kurang lebih 5 menit, dia sudah mendapatkan emailnya, dan mulai membaca nya.
"Ya sudah, sana bikin kartunya" katanya. Jadi kontraknya? engga usah di print??
"sudah saya baca, balik lagi ke counter sana dan bilang,saya yang suruh bikin kartunya." Masih dengan senyuman termanis saya mengangguk mantap dan setelah mengucapkan terima kasih saya menggiring kembali troli saya menuju counter KTKLN.
Di dalam counter staff akan menanyakan data-data pribadi, termasuk gaji dan berapa lama kontrak kerja.
Setelah itu diphoto. Tunggu bberapa menit. Dan taraaaa!!! KTKLN sudah jadi.!!
Dalam hati saya berucap "Alhamdulillah" Terima kasih ya Allah, sejauh ini saya sudah dipermudah.
Now is check in time.. deg-degan memprediksi berapa yang harus saya bayar untuk kelebihan bagasi. Walaupun saya sudah tahu bahwa berat koper saya adalah 31Kg, di waktu yang sangat mepet saya sempat ikut nimbang di cipaganti travel sebelum berangkat..heheh.. :D Sementara baggage allowance cuma 23kg.
Saya menuju counter check in Qatar airways, dilayani pria muda yang agak feminim :p
Menujukan tiket, passport juga menyiapkan Rp. 150.000 untuk airport tax.
menempatkan bagasi di timbangan, dan hup! ya, 31 kg. saya menahan nafas. Kemudian dia menyebutkan kalau saya harus membayar krang lebih sembilan ratus ribu rupiah untuk kelebihan bagasi saya.Fwuuh, tidak begitu mengagetkan. Saya masih mampu membayar dengan nominal yang disebutkan.
Singkat cerita saya diberi kemudahan lainnya.. saya hanya membayar 500 ribu rupiah dengan 1 koper kecil lainnya masuk bagasi. :D Menyenaaangkaan! ( rahasia tetap ada di senyum semanis mungkin :D)
Yap! Check in beres.. sekarang tinggal mencari apa yang saya butuhkan.
Rokok, Uang dirham, cemilan kecil dan mungkin pasta gigi :D
Ada untungnya saya tiba lebih cepat di bandara, saya masih punya waktu untuk mengurus segala keperluan saya.
saya menuju pintu keluar, sambil menggendong tas laptop yang tak seberapa itu ( bentuknya sudah menggelembung karena memasukan segala macam keperluan di dalamnya )
kaki saya sudah muali lecet, padahal saya memakai sneaker, tapi karena memakai kaos kaki tipis ( sobek di bagian belakang saking tipisnya x_x) dan, berjalan juga setengah berlari kesana kemari, jadinya agak berkeringat dan lecet.
Tadinya saya mau nongkrong dulu di salah satu cafe sambil ngeroko gitu, tapi ternyata pencarian saya menuju Alfa Express dan money changer sangatlah memakan waktu. saya berkeliling, naik turun tangga, naik turun lift. Padahal, ternyata jarak money changer dan Alfa sangatlah berdekatan di kedatangan international lantai bawah, terminal berapa, saya tidak ingat. saya kurang teliti , kemungkinan saya sudah mulai agak error.. *_*
Semua yang saya butuhkan sudah di tangan. Satu tentengan lagi di tangan saya sekarang. Di tangan lainnya saya membawa bantal biru kesayangan juga jaket kulit. Duh.. asli ribet!
Saya kembali memasuki terminal 2D, saatnya pengecekan imigrasi
Liat papan petunjuk, mana counter buat indonesian mana buat foreigner. Kebetulan tidak terlalu penuh juga saat itu, jadi saya langsung menuju counter, menunjukan semua dokumen. Dan cop! Di cap deh.. Immigration Checked!!!!
Melengganglah saya dengan manis menuju gate D3. Dan ternyata sepanjang menuju gate D3, ada banyak toko dan money changer ,tau gitu ngga usah kelilingin terminal 2 tadi ( maaf ndesooo.. baru masuk terminal internasional x_x)
Sebelum masuk gate D3, saya mampir dulu di salah satu cafe untuk menikmati segelas milo dingin. Sambil ngeroko tentunya :p , karena distulah smoking area yang nyaman. Jam baru menunjukan pukul 4 sore. Waktu boarding yg tertera di boarding pass jam 4.30
fwuuh, akhirnya.. 1 langkah lagi nih, melewati security check dan saya akan terbang meninggalkan Indonesia tercinta. Setelah sekitar 15 menit saya meninggalkan cafe tersebut, menuju gate D3, menunjukan boarding pass melalui security check, dan petugas melarang botol air mineral yang tadi saya beli di mini market untuk di bawa ke dalam pesawat. Terpaksa saya habiskan disitu. Masuk ruang tunggu di gate D3, setelah sebelumnya menunjukan boarding pass juga pasport kepada petugas maskapai di pintu masuk ruang tunggu. Saya sempatkan untuk cuci muka dan mengganti kemeja saya dengan kaos bertangan panjang. Karena saya yakin di dalam pesawat nanti akan kedinginan. Panggilan untuk memasuki pesawat terdengar, saya segera meninggalkan kamar mandi. Staff maskapai menyobek boarding pass yang saya tunjukan. Lalu kemudian saya memasuki pesawat bersama penumpang lainnya. Orang arab, italia, indo, dan penumpang berwarga negara lainnya. Saya dapat tempat duduk di kursi 26f bersama seorang pria arab (mungkin :p)
Kursinya lumayan lega, dilengkapai monitor kecil di punggung kursi yang ada di depan saya. selimut, bantal kecil sudah disediakan di setiap tempat duduk, headseat dan tas kecil berwarna biru yang berisi sikat gigi ,kaos kaki juga penutup mata (buat tidur) sudah berada di kantung kursi di depan saya. Sebelum take off , layar monitor menayangkan demo petunjuk keselamatan pesawat.
Saat take off tiba, saya memejamkan mata sambil berdoa. Selamat tinggal Indonesia tercinta, tapi saya pasti kembali :)
Setelah beberapa saat lampu tanda sabuk pengaman dimatikan, saya buru-buru menuju toilet yang ada di depan, dari tadi saya nahan pipis. baru kali ini saya masuk toilet di pesawat terbang. mungkin berbeda jauh bila dibandingkan dengan pesawat tujuan domestik. karena di dalamnya disediakan lotion, body mist, moisturizer, juga kertas buat tempat duduk toilet.
setelah kembali dari toilet, saya memutuskan untuk pindah tempat duduk di bagian tengah, berjarak sekitar 2 nomor dari tempat duduk saya semula. Jadi saya lebih leluasa untuk selonjoran ataupun tiduran. hari itu agak lumayan banyak kursi kosong.
Perjalanan Jakarta - Doha memakan waktu 9 jam 15 menit. Dalam perjalanan mereka menyajikan makan sebanyak dua kali, juga menyediakan minuman hangat dan dingin. bagi yang suka minum, minuman beralkohol bisa diminta secara gratis. walaupun saya suka minum, namun saya memilih untuk tidak minum alkohol selama perjalanan dalam pesawat. Saya lebih tertarik dengan layanan hiburan yg mereka sediakan.sepertinya sayang kalau dilewatkan. jadi saya memilih untuk nonton film, dan mendengarkan musik.sambil selimutan, pakai kaos kaki, nyaman betul. saya sempat tidur selama 1 jam.
Akhirnya setelah sekian jam berlalu, pesawat landing di Doha, Qatar. Waktu lokal menunjukan sekitar pukul 11 malam. Saya juga para penumpang transit lainnya diantar bis menuju terminal. awas jangan sampai salah terminal, karena untuk transit dan kedatangan tempatnya berbeda.
Setelah saya melalui security check, dan menunjukan passport juga tiket pesawat tujuan abu dhabi. Saya berkeliling sebentar di duty free. rasanya seperti di mall :p
Saya harus menunggu selama 3 jam 20 menit sebelum penerbangan berikutnya. yang pertama saya cek adalah.. wifi.. supaya saya bisa mengabari jika saya sudah sampai Doha. Akhirnya saya bisa connect selama beberapa saat, karena sesudah itu koneksi saya terputus. Saya menunggu di tempat duduk dekat gate 22. melalui gate inilah pesawat menuju AD akan terbang pada jam 2.15 am seperti yg tertera pada tiket saya.
Hal selanjutnya yang saya cari adalah, tempat buat ngecharge hp. ternyata semua tempat penuh. Jadi saya meutuskan untuk jalan keliling terminal, nyari smoking area. Yang ternyata berada lumayan jauh dari gate 22.
Di smoking area ini saya bertemu dengan seorang wanita seumuran saya asal Jakarta. Dia akan pergi menuju Paris, menemui kekasihnya, sekalian ada kerjaan selama 2 minggu. Setelah ngobrol sana sini, saya antar dia mencari money changer untuk menukar Rupiah dengan Euro yang ternyata mereka tidak menerima Rupiah. jadi sebaiknya, tukar dulu rupiah ke mata uang yang diinginkan sebelum meninggalkan Indo. jadinya urung niat kami untuk sekedar minum teh hangat atau makan. jadinya kami nongkrong di dekat duty free lantai atas, sambil ngecharge BB saya. (kami menjadi pusat perhatian setiap orang yang lewat karena dengan santainya selonjoran duduk di lantai)
waktu telah menunjukan saatnya kami harus boarding. Dia menuju gate yang berbeda dan jaraknya agak lumayan jauh dari gate 22. Jadi kami saling berpamitan. Dan berharap suatu saat kami akan bertemu kembali.
Saya sudah sangat lelah.. betapa rindunya badan ini dengan kasur dan bantal guling. Dengan lunglai saya berjalan menuju ruang tunggu di gate 22, ternyata counter nya belum dibuka, namun sudah ada petugas nya didalam yang melayani penumpang lain dengan pesawat lain tentunya juga tujuan lain. Saya sempat merebahkan diri sejenak, menutup mata saya beberapa menit di kursi tunggu. dan akhirnya boarding time tiba juga, saya berdiri dibalik antrian panjang diantara sebagian pria arab, dan kulit hitam juga beberapa wanita bule dan kulit hitam, dan tidak luput, para filipina ( saya baru ngeuh setelah saya tiba di abu dhabi, banyak banget orang- orang sana) yang saya sempat kira orang-orang kita juga.
Sebelum masuk pesawat saya harus menunggu bis yang akan mengantar para penumpang menuju pesawat. Bis pun tiba. Para penumpang naik satu per satu.
Setelah di dalam pesawat, pramugari dan pramugara membagikan makanan hangat, yang saya yakin itu makanan khas arab, yang ternyata namanya Shawarma ( saya baru tahu setelah tinggal di Abu dhabi sekitar 2 minggu) buat yang sudah nonton film The Avengers, pasti agak ngeuh sama makanan satu ini, karena ada slah satu adegan dimana Iron man ngajak Captain America makan Shawarma, malah para super hero makan shawarma bersama di scene akhir.. hahahha
Setelah lahap makan shawarma, saya terlelap. Dan terbangun ketika pesawat sudah akan landing. perjalannya hanya memakan waktu kurang lebih 1 jam.
Saya tiba di Abu dhabi pukul 4 lebih pagi itu. Saya masih deg-degan karena harus melewati imigrasi disana juga cek bagasi. hmmpph...
Bandara Internasional Abu dhabi bangunannya megah, desainnya mewah, saya memandang berkeliling sambil berjalan menuju imigrasi..takjub!
sesampainya di sana, saya sudah melihat antrian panjang, dimana tiap counter melayani penumpang yang berbeda, untuk pendatang foreign country ( it must be here for me) Untuk residen, dan untuk Citizen atau penduduk lokal. Sebelum saya berbaris di antrian, petugas berbaju khas arab jubah putih, melihat saya memegang visa dan menyuruh saya untuk eyes scan, atau scam mata di ruangan sebelah kiri. Saya sudah memegang visa atau entry permit yang asli di tangan saya, jadi tidak perlu lagi datang ke kantor imigrasi untuk mengambil. Karena sebagian para pekerja, mereka hanya mendapat copy-an nya dan harus mengambil dokumen asli di ruangan khusus.
Saya memasuki ruangan itu, sambil mengucap salam, petugas laki-laki berjubah putih itu mempersilahkan saya duduk meminta entry permit dan menyuruh saya melihat pada alat scan mata, 3 detik selesai. dan saya bergabung di antrian. Tiba giliran saya, passport, dan entry permit di periksa, dan jreb.. passport saya di cap! Alhamdulillah.. saya berjalan menuju baggage claim. satu lagi, pemeriksaan bagasi. saat itu saya beruntung, karena petugas nya sedang asyik maenin hp, jadi dia tidak terlalu peduli dengan bagasi dan barang bawaan yang saya bawa, walaupun saya tidak membawa barang yang terlarang. untuk anda yang akan memasuki negara lain, mohon bawa barang yang aman dan tidak mencurigakan, ngga mungkin kan masukin kulkas ke dalam koper :-p Jadi bawa barang keperluan anda yang tidak dipertanyakan dan diperbolehkan. apalagi masuk UAE.. aturan nya ribet!
fweeeh.. lega.. akhirnya saya tiba di Abu Dhabi dengan lancar.. saat itu betapa bahagianya saya ketika keluar pintu dan melihat pacar saya menunggu kedatangan saya. Dia datang dengan supir taksi dari hotel.
Rasanya saya ingin langsung berlari dan memeluknya dan menciumnya, tapi.. saya tahan, bisa-bisa saya ditegur security! karena di UAE juga ada aturannya untuk tidak menunjukan keintiman di depan public jika, suami istri sekalipun :P
hmmm.. ternyata tidak seribet yang saya baca di artikel-artikel yang selama ini saya googling..
semuanya tergantung kesiapan diri kita sendiri. Entah itu hal nyata yang berupa dokumen pribadi, ataupun mental, juga.. keberuntungan :-p
Yang pasti siapkan segalanya dengan teliti. berdoa jangan lupa, dan pasang senyum manis. Insya allah segalanya lancar ;)
Semoga postingannya membantu untuk yang baru pertama naik pesawat ke luar negeri.
Jika ada pertanyaan, jangan sungkan ;)
saya tidak serba tahu, namun siapa tahu saya tahu dan bisa membantu.
Change something!
Banyak kejadian di bulan ini yang terlewatkan saya tulis.. mungkin bulan kemarin juga..
atau juga bulan sebelumnya.
saya masih di Abu dhabi.. Udara di UAE tampaknya mulai sangat bersahabat, mataharinya hangat dan anginnya sudah mulai sejuk. Musim dingin akan segera datang. Sayang, sepertinya saya tidak dapat menikmati sepenuhnya musim dingin di sini. Merasakan bagaimana dinginnya UAE. But, anyway.. i hate cold! so.. no regret :)
Pertanyaan nya.. mengapa saya tidak akan bisa menikmati musim dingin disini?
Ya! Saya akan segera meninggalkan Abu dhabi, meninggalkan drama yang ada di dalamnya, meninggalkan peraturan peraturan yang mengikat dan strictly.
Jika saya harus mengatakan saya bahagia disini atau merasa kerasan dan betah.. saya telah berbohong! ya i'm exciting to could found the new world and live on it.. but seriously.. i'm not happy. the only reason why i stay because of the money, and because i have a friend and not to be alone around the stranger in this new world!! I was alone when i just reached this country, after that i have a friend, as my roommate, as my friend to talk to, as a sister for share the food or just tea in the afternoon. A friend who could be as drunk as me.
but... you know what? they took it again from me!
Thats why i wrote there were to many story i missed to tell here.
Remember on a Hectic day i posted ,, after that day, i came back to Abu dhabi with my Friend, my new partner in Band.. Windy. In some days we adapted each other, and be a friend in any situation. And i also threw my selfishness, cos before i get used to live alone- to be a person who is able to share with other.
Sometimes we have quiet talk, or not talk each other, but we learned our self. Until we get used to be a real friend, or lets say.. as a family, as a sister.
Then last month, we heard some bad news! She had to leave, her contract was not extended! so she must leave on November. I feel bad about that, and i knew,she felt worst! But then the rumor was going so far and uncertain, from day to day it became different story. I just don't get it what the hell is going on inside this management! One day they said she might be stay, and another day she could be leave. But, at last she will leave anyway.
During this period of uncertainty , she tried to find another job with another bands, and i also help her to find one from my friend. Good news came.. To female singers needed for China gigs! I offer my self, and i challenge my self to get this opportunity. I wont tell here how we passed all the hectic days or situation we have until we got this job! just too much drama!
So in a short way, i can tell.. I've resigned from this job! and take another opportunity. I gave 30 days notification resignation letter on 16th of November. So, i will be free on November 15th. And going to China!!! uuh damn! another new world..
But, i'm not afraid.. Because of decision i took. It could be good or bad.. but at least.. i change something.
Ask yourself.. Are you Happy? if Yes : keep going.. if Not : Change something! and that what i did so far.
I am ready, and always ready for new challenges, new world, new possibilities, failure, fall. I will never get enough to catch my dream.. and if i fall i will never stop, to stand up and the run again :)
so now.. lets prepare all i need to be ready on time.. I will reach my goal.. as i believe!
China.. here i come!

Pagi, curhat Pagi
Kutatap langit Abu dhabi pagi ini dari balik jendela berdebu.. Aku terduduk di atas ranjang menatap keluar lewat jendela tanpa tirai.. Matahari belum lagi menampakan wujudnya.. Abu dhabi pagi ini masih samar..
Seperti hari esok ku.. Masa depanku..
Samar.. Masih untung tidak suram!
Sebenarnya aku masih sangat beruntung! Dibanding orang lain..
Aku yang tak tahu diri, tak pandai bersyukur, menikmati segala apa yang sudah aku punya!
Aku hanya ingin pulang.. Memeluk kedua harta paling berharga ku erat.. Dan mengucap syukur.. Bahwa aku masih memiliki mereka..
Maaf.. Aku memang tak sempurna..
Aku masih mencari jalan ku
Mengejar mimpiku
Mencapai bahagia ku
Aku hanya ingin menjadi manusia..
Yang selalu pandai bersyukur..
Aku akan belajar, aku sedang belajar, dan aku pasti bisa

LDR
When you decided to be in some hard or complicated situation, or you decided to play some interesting games. I'm sure that you know what the risk you must take, or the things you have to do to make it work. You play the games, follow the rules and trying to become a winner. You already know before you come in this situation, that its already complicated, but you keep on going, because you are sure and have faith that you will get something from it. You will make it works. You will win the game! Every time you feel like want to give up, you remember that you still have hope, that it will work, from complicated become easier!
You just playing 100 %, you are not scared to make 'All in' in poker, cos' you know you will win!
At least you have hope, even you lost, at least you tried :)
Just be positive!
You just playing 100 %, you are not scared to make 'All in' in poker, cos' you know you will win!

Just be positive!
Hehhhe.. Maybe you wondering yourself, what am I talking about..
This time I think about.. Long distance relationship!!!
Nobody trust that long distance could work.. But I do!!
This story, its just my other story of long distance..
I tried and I tried..
But, I'm telling you now.. Its really different from my past long distance story.. Why??
Mhh.. Cos' I feel it different :p
I'm gonna show the world.. LDR ( long distance relationship) is possible.. Nothing is impossible!!
Even I know its hard, complicated, hurt, suffer! ( Cos' we can see each other anytime like the normal couple)
But.. I kEep doing that!
Becaussseeeeee...
I still have hope, faith, and trust.. That it will work!
It just different sensation.. When we text, we chat, video call, skypeing, send pictures, voice notes, and bla bla bla..
What we do just.. Priceless!!
You.. Guys.. With the normal relationship, will have different taste and sensation about all I wrote!! When u receive the pictures, you just feel normal, or when u chat, it just normal sensation! But for us.. Its amazing!!
Trust me!.. That's why I still keep on going and stand here on LDR..
But, I'm like the other girls, I'm like the other women, who's dream about normal relationship, living together, sEe each other in anytime we want..
But, we have plans.. I have the plans.. And I have dreams, that I can build together with the one I love..
I will survive.. I keep on going.. To write another stories, to make another memories to remind.. Even I know its not easy, even we know its complicated!!
I'm sure.. It will be GOOD at the end.. The story will be more amazing at the end!!
I feel so blessed that I have someone who really love me :)
I feel so lucky that have someone who always say that I'm cute every days
I'm blessed!! That I have him.. Who call me ' My princess'
I will keep my faith.. I will dream.. I'll keep my hope.. That we will be unlimited happiness couple ever after :)
I love you my Stephane Resche..!!! I do.. And I'm sure about that!!
Finger crossed ;)
Keep on going ;)

Cerita tentang Dia
Bantal itu basah, tissue berserak di atas kasur. Entah rokok keberapa yang dia bakar, dan botol beer ke tiga yang dia tenggak sampai kering.
Matanya agak membengkak, basah air kepedihan. Air patah hati.
Di telinganya tertancap earphone memainkan lagu2 melow yang menambah deras laju air mata kepedihan.
Dia tidak pernah menyangka bahwa dia akan menangis lagi karena patah hati, karena mahluk menyeramkan dan beracun bernama Cinta!
Malam-malam sunyi tak bertepi, hari-hari temaram tanpa sinar matahari akan tiba dan dijalaninya dengan senyum. Dengan ketegaran. Walau lelah, namun dia akan tetap mencoba berjalan di atasnya.. Terkadang tertatih, pelan, kadang berlari, kadang lelah, berpeluh, namun dengan segenap keyakinan diri, bahwa dia akan sampai di tempat yang dituju. Berapa lama? Entah
dia terduduk..lemas.. Matanya sayu tanpa harapan dan semangat
Hey!! Bangun!!
Jalani hidupmu seperti sebelumnya..
Kamu mampu menjalani hidup mu.. Lihat ke belakang.. Sudah ratusan masalah yang kamu lalui.. Dan kamu tetap berdiri sampai disini..
Bangun!
Aku yakin kamu pasti tau apa yang harus kamu lakukan untuk mencapai kebahagiaan yang kamu impikan..
Kejar mimpimu!
Persetan dengan hal-hal atau pun orang yang senang melihat kamu terpuruk dan jatuh..
Jika kamu jatuh, bangun dan mulai lagi berjalan..
Kamu akan tetap sampai tujuan..
Dalam 1 menit, 2 jam atau pun 10 tahun lagi.. Namun yang pasti kamu akan sampai disana selama kamu masih mau berjalan!

Hectic day
19 Agustus 2012 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 Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android |

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.
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 ;) )
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.
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..
Bali is special.. especially after i met Him.. my Bf.. it have story.. we will come back to write another there ;P
