Back Home

Here I am, at home at last, leaving Rotterdam and the beautiful people I knew there. Off course I have to leave lots lots of the comfortable facilities and infrastructures there, like...unlimited fast internet connection, the drinkable tap water, the bicycle track, the comfortable train, the tram, etc etc. And off course...my Mas Ganteng. I also left the autumn, I didn't have the chance to see the leaves yellowing. Summer was long...

Nonetheless, i meet my beloved parents again and my brothers and sister and my nieces n nephews. It's mix feeling I feel inside.

1st Rain of September, and Let the Fall Begin...

This is the second day of fasting month... I spent 3 hour sleeping, since 11 in the morning, after struggling not to sleep after sahur, and a long day yesterday....

Yesterday, September 1, 2008
I went to IHS to see my supervisor at 9.30, so I left my room ten before nine, after making a wake up call to a friend, who later in the breakfast time in that evening said that he was hypnotized when I said go to sleep again, and he continued his sleep instead of got up of his bed ...

The sky did not look so promising from the window...in a minute it was covered by thick Grey clouds, and the next minute the sun shine softly reach my window... It was quite cold outside...I guess fall is officially started yesterday...

OBAT SAKIT KEPALAKU

Sebenernya dah ga sanggup lagi deh nulis ato ngetik, tapi... sayang kalo ga ditulis, hehehe... Ceritanya... Setelah berminggu minggu ga peduli sama kesehatan sendiri (asumsinya, pasokan gizi rasanya cukup...lebih dari cukup malah...), meski tiap kali gosok gigi selalu saja berdarah darah... hiiiiyyyy jijayyy, dan spot merah aneh di betis kanan ga ilang2, dan seriawan yg silih berganti...., setelah hujan2an dari groningen, panas2an ngejongkrok bareng Amel nonton summer carnival, dan ujung2nya malah menghirup asap ganja sepanjang jalan... dan tentu saja... hawa panas musim zomer di Rotterdam dan hawa bete Thesis yang ga berkesudahan... akhirnya titik kulminasinya terjadi...

Sejak hari Minggu tgl 27 July kemaren, kepalaku rasanya seperti ada palu yang nailing my head, tung tung tung, nguit nguit nguit... Ga cukup cuma sakit kepala, mata ku juga rasanya kayak di tusuk2 jarum dan nyut nyutan sakit.... ga cuma kenyat kenyot, saaakiiiit....dan puanaaasss.... Minum Antangin, ga menolong... pokoknya tersiksa minta ampun. Suara2 dari luar kamar bener bener bikin menderita... tapi apa daya... mau ngapa ngapain juga dah ga sanggup. Cuma bisa nggeletak di tempat tidur, tutup mata... soalnya cahaya bikin sakit mata dan bakal tambah bikin tersiksa. Yang ada di kepala cuma... uhuhuhu... I miss my Mom...... She just knows what to do with me in this situation... (Mom...miss you much...)

Rotterdam-Maastricht-Nijmegen

Pernah di muat di Multiply :)

Kemaren (29 Juli 2008) jalan2 ke Maastricht n Nijmegen... kalo ke Maastricht sih nemenin Yessi, n penasaran belon sempet poto di satu tempet, hehehe... kalo di Nijmegen sih...karena Nijmegen juga mengklaim dirinya sebagai kota tertua di Belanda (hehehehe...bo ong banget ya...bilang aja karena itu hari terakhir bisa pake tiket Kruidvat... Ih...boong lagi... Itu karena Mas ganteng asli Nijmegen meski dia juga keturunan Banyuwangi, wekekekek... jadi selama jalan, kalo ada yg ganteng gitu mesti curiga...ini adiknya mas ganteng kali, ato, itu sepupunya Mas ganteng kali...).

Yang jelas nih, pas lagi moto2 Yessi dengan kembang2 mawar kuning (secaranya ada yg baru dapet krisan kuning...), dan juga ikutan di poto dgn mawar kuning...rupanya...di jendela di atas rumah depan taman itu banyak cowok2 bule yg lagi polosan nangkring2 di jendela n liatin kita... hiyyyyy....jadi takut khilaf...hehehe....

Rotterdam from the windows

These are photos taken from the window of my room, and the window of my campuss.

This is the view from my room. I usually counts the wagons of the trains from my room, or from the kitchen's window. One was taken when it was snowing in Easter 2008.

De Onze-Lieve Vrouwekathedraal Antwerp- Live Concert

Hari Sabtu kemaren, tgl 12 Juli, aku dan Yessi main ke Antwerp, kota berlian di Belgia yg cuma 1 jam naik kereta dari Rotterdam. Di sana, seperti laiknya turis lain, temept yg wajib dikunjungi adalah main square nya, alias grote markt nya. Sempet cuma nongkrong2 bentar, liatin kegiatan orang2 di taman deket grote markt. Ada cowok iseng yg gangguin sepasang manusia saling di mabuk cinta (kaleee...), ada anak-anak yg lagi main, ada orang bersepeda, kakek nenek duduk duduk mungkin sambil mengenang masa masa ketika mereka masih muda dulu, banyaknya sih pasangan pasangan yg bergandengan tangan, ada orang pakai baju narapidana, lengkap dengan topinya (itu narapidana atau kelasi, ga jelas deh, hehehe)...

Lempah Kuning

Ini juga di publish di blog ku di Multiply:

Lempah kuning, adalah masakan khas Bangka. Di Belitung, namanya Gangan. Bedanya, kalo Gangan pakai kemiri (kayaknya juga pakai bawang putih dikit...tapi aku ga inget juga, hehehe). Rasanya sih Beti lah.... (beda beda tipis gitu..)

Bahan:

• 1/2 kg Ikan (kayaknya sih bisa ikan apa aja...Kalo Nyokap paling suka pake ikan karang--makhluk apa ikan karang itu... hehehe...aku pun gak tau, yang jelas masih keluarga ikan2an).
• Bawang Merah (sekitar 5 siung kalo pake bawang merah ala Indonesia)

JOGGING IN MY ROOM

My room in Weenapad 111 Rotterdam,...

Yup... from the title you've got the idea about what I'm to tell here.
Well, this "enlightenment" started when I ...kinda...helped two Short course participants from Indonesia "cleaning" their rooms in Weenapad. There was a scale there, they borrowed from the student warden, and...you know what a girl usually does when seeing a scale, she will weigh...as I did... and surprise surprise... it was my new record in the history!!! (Thank you, thank you....).

So... when Somat, a friend of mine asked me why I didn't go biking with friends to Delft last weekend and he said that I'm "kinda overweight" now, despite my "arrogant" answer that I am only beautiful when I am not "skinny", I knew that I have to deal with this situation... (It's not healthy... and I really feel uncomfortable...and off course, I have problems with my clothes... yeah you may laugh out loud)

MULAI...!!!

Masih belum ada ide buat nulis... cuma bingung aja baca instruksi instruksi dalam bahasa belanda... Nanti kapan kapan kalo sempet, aku nulis deh....
