Paradiso Perduto

See my full list of 101 things to do in 1001 Days in Day Zero Project I always ranted that I do not have enough time to blog. Due to the past 4 days-long holidays, I (kind of) don't have that excuse anymore. So here it is, a long overdue post I should have posted MONTHS ago. Singing karaoke with friends is one of the easiest thing on my Day Zero list -I am bound to do it anyway at a certain point of the year. My closest group of friends and I are not that creative in thinking up what to do during our meet up; karaoke is a regular part of our activity-repertoire . However, I figured this would be a less intimidating way to start my 101-things-challenge, and wouldn't it be fun to go to karaoke with different group of friends? Less Afgan, Raisa, and Bruno Mars for a change. I mean, I still love them, but a little variety would be nice. Since this is one of the easiest things to do on my list, it is not fair to just perform this once. Thus, I have done this three...

Greetings from Bali! Hallo zusammen! This should be posted since around two weeks ago, but…what can I do, I was a lazy blogger so busy with work so I just have time to write this now! Hahaha. This trip was already carefully planned since December last year. Nevertheless, because of reasons I’d rather not disclose, Syifa Rini, and Tiwi could not join us. So, yeah, of course the main purpose of this post is to make them REGRET THEIR FAILURE TO CONTINUE WITH THE TRIP PLAN. *very evil smirk* YOU ARE JEALOUS RIGHT? MUHAHAHA. No, really, girls, I love you and miss you etc.etc.etc. (for some part of the trip anyway, when I was not too busy enjoying all Bali had to offer, haha). Wish you were there with us. There were less room-cleaning, motherly scolding, bule-ogling, and shopping spree than what I expected if all of us go together. Maybe for the next trip? Lombok, anyone? Or, I don’t know, Jeju-do? OR PERHAPS EUROPE? Ok, back to the story. So, three of the girls...

FINALLY. I KNOW, RIGHT? TOOK ME SUCH A LONG TIME.  YEAH, I ALSO WANT TO PUNCH MYSELF FOR BEING SUCH A BIG PROCRASTINATING LUMP. Tanggal 21 April 2014. Tepat 1 tahun 15 hari sejak memulai skripsi. Setelah melalui berbagai kejadian yang kalau diceritakan semua bisa jadi satu buku memoar sendiri, saya maju sidang juga. You know, some people said, "yang penting itu bukan lulus tepat waktu, tapi lulus di waktu yang tepat." Berhubung "tepat waktu" sudah lewat sekitar satu tahun yang lalu, saya berharap banget ini adalah waktu yang tepat, hahaha. D-1. My  ( often overreacting but lovely and magnificent) parents booked me a room in Hotel Puri Khatulistiwa Jatinangor. Katanya daripada saya stress, harus sidang pagi tapi lalu lintas Senin bikin darah tinggi. Hasilnya, jam 7 saya kucluk-kucluk datang ke kampus. Belum ada siapa-siapa. Gila, waktu kuliah saya tukang mepet waktu masuk, mana pernah merasakan udara kampus jam 7 pagi di hari-hari biasa (bukan k...

THANK YOU, GOOGLE You know that feeling, when you wake up on the morning of your birthday and you feel, "Nothing can go wrong today because IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, BABY"? I feel like that a lot today, hahaha. IT FEELS GOOD. HAHAHAHAHA. First of all, thank you for Bayern Muenchen for the 2-0 win against Arsenal earlier this morning. I'M SORRY ARSENAL, I STILL LOVE YOU BUT I LOVE BAYERN MORE. Okay. Next... Thank you for those who remember my birthday. I'm saving your messages under a file titled "MY PRECIOUSSSSS". I know that's kind of freaky but hey, WHATEVER, hahaha. Thank you for those who gave me birthday presents. Much appreciated though no one give me vacuum cleaner again this year . Also to my brother who gave me premium tea bag (no doubt he snatched it from the economic conference he attended, but it's the thought that counts :)), I don't know why he constantly give me tea bag nowadays... Maybe my face just screams for more c...

Pesan sponsor : Kunjungi juga blog KKNM Desa Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013 (yang sebagian besaaaar banget diurusin oleh Andre. Terima kasih Andre :)) Akhir-akhir ini saya sering ditanya sama junior-junior saya, "Kak, kalau KKN enaknya di mana ya?" Sudah mulai ya, gegalauan pilih tempat KKN? Saya jadi ingat, tahun lalu, saya ada di posisi itu. Nggak galau sih, lebih cenderung ke nggak peduli. Teman-teman dekat saya sampai lupa kalau saya juga bakal KKN pada Januari 2013, soalnya saya nggak menunjukkan bahwa saya memikirkan itu sama sekali. Gimana ya, sebagai koor acara Training Pengembangan Diri Fapsi 2012 (asik) dan sibuk sama laporan praktikum segala macam, galau KKN nggak punya tempat di otak saya. Well, ada sih, setitik, di pojok, nyelip di bawah sofa, silakan dicari sendiri ya, makasih. Lagipula kan sudah ada teman-teman yang janjian bakal KKN bareng (Tifa dan Ufi). Jadi ya, biarkan mereka yang memilih. Saya sih ikut aja. Mau di tempat yang dekat sama kot...
