Pontianak..Kota Bersinar..

Pontianak...
Kota kecil di Kalimantan Barat, masih banyak dihiasi dengan pohon dan parit,hueee...Kota yang dilintasi garis ekuator ini gak salah lagi kalo punya cuaca yang panas abis..
Pontianak tampaknya sudah banyak berkembang, salah satunya dengan mal kebanggaannya Mega Mal..hehehe..tata kotanya juga sudah cukup teratur..
Jangan berharap nemuin angkot disini,semua orang kayanya wajib punya kendaraan masing-masing..Taksinya aja lucu,beda sendiri ama taksi-taksi dikota lain..

Gw bersyukur punya kesempatan buat menyinggahi kota kecil ini..mengunjungi tempat-tempat baru, mengalami hal-hal baru, dan pastinya mencoba menu-menu makanan baru..
Jadi sekarang gw mau sedikit cerita soal pengalaman gw disana..

Mega Mal yang jadi kebanggaan kota Pontianak menjadi tujuan yang cukup sering didatangi ketika gw berada disana,hehe..Selain itu,gw juga mengunjungi Rumah Betang,rumah adat asli Pontianak yang cukup unik..
Yang sangat menarik di Pontianak adalah wisata kulinernya..syukurnya gw berkesempatan buat nyobain cukup banyak makanan baru disana..ini beberapa diantaranya:
+ Es Petrus:hueeee,sebenernya sih biasa aja rasanya,uniknya cuma dihidangkan diatas kelapa muda aja,cukup melegakan rasa dahaga di Pontianak yang panas sih..
+ Pizza Hut:hueeeee,jauh-jauh ke pontianak kok makannya di Pizza Hut..
+ Sotong Pangkong:huaaaaa,you must try this!!gw pikir makanan apa,ternyata cumi kering yang dibakar dan ditumbuk ampe tipis,disantap pake bumbu kacang atau asam manis,rasanya enak jugaaaa!dan biasanya yang jual makanan ini ada dipinggiran jalan (*salah satunya jalan merdeka)
+ Mie Tiaw Apollo:nama asing dari kwetiaw..porsinya banyak benerrrr..rasanya sih biasa aja kalo menurut gw..
+ Gayatri Cafe:cafe 24 jam yang jual macem2 makanan pake hotspot..*yang bikin istimewa apa donk?tau deh..hehe
+ Soto PU:soto ayam terkenal disana,yang bikin beda sotonya banyak taugenya..kuahnya bening,gak pake santan..lumayan lah..masih kalah sama A3 di Jatinangor,hehe..
+ Kue Bingke Al-Fajar:hueeeeeeeeeee....ni kue enak juga, mirip kue lumpur,gak salah gw jadikan oleh-oleh dan laku keras,hahaha..
+ Cafe Serasan:menu makanan seafood yang cukup nikmat,tapi yang luar biasanya,kita nmakan diatas kapal yang berjalan disepanjang sungai kapuas,hohohoho,what an amazing lunch it was..
+ Seafood Mr.Atie:seafood pinggir jalan yang mantaaaap...gw pesen nasi capcay seafood,dan rasanya enaaakkk..kenyaaaaang..
+ Pempek Palembang Nurali:jaaaaah,pasti mo bilang jauh-jauh ke Pontianak makannya kok pempek,tapi yang ini rasanya nikmaaaaaaaaat,gak nyesel..
+ Ayam Goreng Wong Solo:lagi-lagi nyobain menu bukan asli Pontianak,tapi sekali lagi gw bilang gak akan nyeseeeel...enakkkk abissss,sambelnya nendang..


NB:Postingan blog ini gw dedikasikan buat sahabat-sahabat gw di Pontianak (*yang lama n baru)..Zoel,Tri,Vanny,n Resti..
Postingan blog ini juga dibuat tanpa maksud untuk mendeskreditkan Kota Pontianak,justru sebaliknya semoga membuat orang-orang mau berbondong-bondong datang kesana..

ambitions..

when i was in elementary school, my teacher asked me:
"what would you be when you big already?" (she was asking me about my ambition..)
then i used to answer:
"policeman, mam!" (i answered it on fire)

then i grown up and got realized, that having a job as a policeman is not trully my ambition..(especially when i saw and experienced so many 'bad sides' from that job)

then i came into high school, i dreamt to be a doctor or an engineer, thats why i tried a lot and so hard to enter medicine and engineering departments in university..but see?i failed a lot too, it means i also don't belong to those jobs..hahaha,poor me..

when i was in university, i got my other ambition..
diplomat, president, entrepreneur, and even artist or celebrity..haha..
i still don't have any ideas what would i be in the future..
but one thing i hold and pursue right now, my brand new ambition..what is that?

this might be sounds ridiculous, idealistic, or whatever..
an ambition is ought to be idealistic, isn't it?
so, i'm gonna tell you what my ambition is..a little bit long and complicated to explain..
I WOULD LIKE TO BE "AN INDIVIDUAL ACTOR WHO HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE ENTIRE WORLD"..
hahahahaha...

so, what is that mean???
'individual actor' means i stand as an independent person
and 'significant impacts' i mentioned here belong to positive ones..
the entire world including all human race..plants and animals could also be counted..hehehehe...

it doesn't mean that i have to be a president of a superpower state, like Barry..
it also doesnt't mean that i should take Ban Ki Moon's place in UN..
i don't have to be the next Nelson Mandela or Mother Theresa..hehehe...

i just have to figure out, how could i be recognized and known by all the human in the world? i have to be popular and famous first indeed..
winning the World Idol competition, being the first person who invent new creation, the one who steps foot on the sun, hmmm... i'm thinking of the other ones..
when i will have been famous already, spread positive values, changed people minds and behaviors.. i would have felt enough then.. i think i made my dreams come true..

i am idiot, really???

JOBless

jobless?!?!
weks,that is freaky word,i used to hear a lot in the past several months..hahahaha..

recently graduated from university,i am officially an unemployee now..
life is felt like has no loads..
wake-up late,hang out all day long,spend parents money..
o...life feels so good..hahaha..

all i want to do now is pursuing my dreams.get a great job, make a lot of money, and bring my family, especially my mom, travel around the world..wow, it would be so amazing..
actually i never wanted to be a diplomat so bad before, but now, after i heard so much stories about that job, i am so passionate..i'm trying that i could be one of that kind,haha..
imagine, when i'm becoming an outstanding diplomat, then i would be sent to abroad and visit many countries..oooowwwwhhh, so beautiful..

diplomat, banker, manager, supervisor, or may be cashier (please God,no..)..
i always trust that God has been already prepared the best one for me..
i just have to wait for His time..

plastics or died...

The increasing consumptive habbit of people nowadays, particularly over primary and secondary needs,is not be balanced with eco-friendly lifestyle.
Shopping markets, which are growing fast from small to big scale, can be found in so many area,even in slum area..
They provide people needs with goods and services, including free of charge plastic bags..
The more people go shopping,more plastic bags used for it, even just for an ice cream. People awareness of environment protection from the danger of waste such as plastic is still very low,particularly most of them don't realized that plastic wastes need longer period to be decomposed by microorganism.
People should have to consider their behavior for the sake of their own interests.
There should be a new significant movement and habbit that come either from people or also the markets themselves..

so, what can we do now?
i think you're already know the answers..
lets mention them..
first, don't ask a plastic for things as long as you could bring by hands, for example when you buy mineral water or snacks..
second, prefer paper bag or carton box to carry your stuffs out..
third, bring your own bag, and use it for times..
and many others..
and don't forget to put your plastic wastes in to correct places..

Deutsch macht Spass!!

Belajar bahasa Jerman yok..
yang gampang2 aja dulu a.k.a basicnya aja..
moga2 pada ngerti n bermanfaat,huehehe..

Buchstabieren - Spell - Eja
(apa yg gw tulis sesuai dengan bunyi lafalnya dalam bhs Indonesia)

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,K,L,M,N,O,P,R,S,T,U,W » semuanya dibaca sama seperti dalam bahasa Indonesia,hampir gak ada bedanya..

J » dibaca 'yot'
catatan: itu kalo berdiri sendiri,tapi kalo J berada dalam sebuah kata,bunyinya seperti huruf Y dalam bhs Indonesia..
misal: Ja ('yes/betul') dibaca 'Ya'

Q » dibaca 'khu' (tapi bunyi h gak terlalu jelas)
kalo Q dalam sebuah kata,umumnya terdengar seperti gabungan huruf 'Kh' dalam bhs Indonesia,tapi h nya juga gak terlalu jelas
misal: Quelle ('source/sumber') dibaca 'K(h)uele'

V » dibaca 'vau'
kalo V dalam sebuah kata,terdengar seperti V biasa dalam bhs Indonesia
misal: Volk ('folk/rakyat') dibaca 'volk'

X » dibaca 'iks'

Y » dibaca 'ipsilon'
kalo dalam sebuah kata,hampir gak beda sama Y dalam bhs Indonesia

Ä » dibaca 'a umlaut'
Tapi kalo dalam sebuah kata,diucapkan seperti huruf E dalam bhs Indonesia

Ö » dibaca 'o umlaut'
Kalo dalam sebuah kata,dibaca seperti paduan huruf O dan U/W dalam bhs Indonesia (untuk lebih memudahkan,bibir kita harus dimancungkan kedepan,maka akan terdengar sperti 'ou/ow '),untuk yang satu ini,musti mendengar secara langsung cara pengucapannya dari yang sudah mahir

Ü » dibaca 'u umlaut'
Metode pengucapannya dalam sebuah kata sama seperti Ö,namun yang ini paduan antar huruf I dan U ('iu' dengan bibir maju kedepan)

ß sama seperti SS (dobel S) begitu pula dalam pengucapannya

ei dibaca 'ai'
eu dibaca 'oi'
äu dibaca 'oi'
ie dibaca 'i' (tapi bunyinya jd lebih panjang)
ch dibaca 'h' saja,tapi bunyi H nya jadi cenderung panjang

S diawal kata terkadang dibaca menyerupai bunyi Z atau paduan antara S dan Z (sz) dalam bhs Indonesia (biasanya jika huruf S itu bertemu huruf vokal,kalo ketemu konsonan maka dibaca seperti S biasa)
misal: Spass ('fun/kesenangan') dibaca 'spass'
Salz ('salt/garam') dibaca 's(z)alz'

Indonesia Penuh KemuliaanMu
By: Celebration of Praise

Yesuslah Tuhan yang layak di tinggikan
layak disembah oleh suku suku bangsa
dengan darahMu Kau telah tebus bangsaku
Genapi Tuhan firmanMu atas negriku

Hatiku rindu melihat kemuliaanMu
Hatiku rindu melihat curahan kuasaMu
ditanah tercinta negriku Indonesia
ku berdoa Indonesia, penuh kemuliaanMu
Indonesia bagi kemuliaanMu

Ya Allahku, nyatakan kemuliaanMu
Ya Allahku nyatakan curahan kuasaMu

Stress on Street (SOS)

Huh,situations changed so fast..the city i've already lived in for years is developing very fast..
Bandung..
years ago,streets were fulfilled by so many plants,big trees..it was so chilly and cozy..
the vehicle,either cars or motorbikes,weren't as much as this present..

But now..
people are getting rich,i think..
even they,who still live in poverty,could own at least a motorbike..
hoho,public transportation,we called as 'angkot' has big threat to its existence..
hoaah,immigrants coming abudantly..they love to come to this flower city..
polutions and crowd are things that people can see nowadays..

Anyway,I just want to mention people,who acts crazy on the street..particularly insane persons i faced when i'm driving a car or riding a motorcycle..
here you are,awards for most annoying people on the street..

1st place awarded to:
Public transport drivers,especially 'angkot' drivers!!!they parked their d*mn cars everywhere!!they're getting passengers at random,making traffic jam..

2nd place owned by:
d*mb people,who texting and make calls with their cellphone,so they driving or riding very slow..

3rd place awarded to:
Motorbike rider who having conversation and ignoring other street users..for example:people who make love on the motorbike!!they talk,stay in the middle of the street,ignoring sounds of horn in the back..they're such a pain in the *ss..

4th place given to:
People who across the street at random,although they can see a zebracross near of them..ironic!!

5th place awarded to:
Kids,who rode motorbikes,even when they haven't already their own driving lisence..ckckckckck..

But,overall,the grand champion is:VILLAGERS!!they,who can't use their brains,their minds,their logics,their patient on the street..
they,drive at excessive speed,they don't use standard safety equipments like lights,helmet,and others..and they who ignore other street users..


I would like to apologize for bad words i used in this post..Thanks..

Superhuman..

I'm wondering so much,how does it feel when i'm becoming a man with super power just like Superman,Powerpuffboy,Doraemon,Avatar,or Gatotkaca?
It must be so damn cool if i can fly,read people minds,being invisible,seeing people naked even when they're wearing clothes,done my chemistry test in 10 seconds,stay in 5 different countries in one day,and anything..

If only i could be a super human,the girls are going to chase me,but in this era some boys also can do it i think,wkwkwk..
A super human,it doesn't mean i have to be a super hero,saving people's life and help a cat which trapped in a girl's skirt,i just want to enjoy it and use my power for my own business,hohoho,it sounds so selfish indeed..
But i do have my own problems,i should solve mine first..
Okay okay,i'll help the others later..I promise..wkwkwkwk..

I always dreamed that i have a power to control something like water or fire,and use it to hit my friends who's trying to annoy me..haha..
Then i'll also use my power to build my mom a big castle to live in..hmm,also with her own limosyn of course..
Then at last but not least i'll help people who dialed 911 from their phone,or 0809.HERO.1.001 from their minds..wkwkwk..

Ooowh,my life would be so beautiful i think..I'll find no threats,no bad people,aaaaaaannd ... no happiness,haha..because bad things are matters in our life!!
i feel,i learn and i change from those bad ones..

Finally,i'd prefer the way i am now..
Thanks God :)

Korea

how amazing it was..korea..
i am very grateful to God..

dua minggu di korea sudah cukup berkesan buat gw,setidaknya buat waktu yang relatif singkat gw menikmati banyak hal disana..
perjalanan dimulai bersama rombongan tim padus Celebration of Praise, Bandung yang bakal pelayanan dibeberapa tempat di Korea Selatan.belom apa2,gw bersama dua orang temen udah mengundang amarah rombongan aja,gara2 ketinggalan bus di bandung,huahaha..
kemudian perjalanan dilanjutkan ke bandara soe-hatta,cengkareng..

wow..for the very first time..gw nyobain juga tuh maskapai penerbangan asing,Korean Air,and the plane was so comfortable..bayangkan,setiap tempat duduk dilengkapi dengan personal LCD TV,belom lagi dikasih wine,meal,snack,dan banyak lagi..yang paling gw inget sih,gw dikasih kacang paling enak yang pernah gw rasain didunia ini..damn it,enak banget,seriusan,ampe minta nambah.trus gw juga nambah wine beberapa kali,mana dikasih es krim enak banget.huaha,i was very very satisfied..(cukup kali ya cerita pesawatnya,terkesan norak)

sampailah gw di Korea..Incheon International Airport..so big and beautiful..
huahahaha,tau kan yang bikin exciting apaan?Yes,the snow!!!again,for the very very first time,gw melihat salju secara langsung..walaupun memang saljunya sisa2 yang udah turun kemaren2,gak kebagian lagi hujan salju..but,its not a big deal..
hoho,cuacanya dingin sekali,minus 3 derajat celcius kalo tidak salah.gw bersama rombongan tinggal di distrik Gunpo,memang bukan kota yang ramai sih,tapi cukup menyenangkan..kami tinggal di sebuah gedung gereja, GunPo Prebysterian Church (huh,jadi kangen ama host family disana)..hal pertama yang gw lakukan setibanya disana adalah menghangatkan diri dan langsung beraksi dengan temen2 gw,berfoto bersama salju,horraaaaay..

banyak hal yang bikin gw kangen ama Korea..pelayanan dibanyak tempat,khususnya di greja2 dan YMAM meeting,cuacanya,makanannya yang pasti..(bisa ngakak kalo inget kita kimchi-sickness,huehehehe,no more please..),jalan2nya ke Namdaemun,LotteWorld,Seoul,perbatasan Korut-Korsel,dan banyak lagi..
yang bikin gak kangen dan gak betah di korea mungkin cuma satu kali ya,people responses to foreigners like us..mereka tuh so cool banget..gak kaya disini ramah2 ama orang asing..mereka seolah ignore kita..
yang bikin salut ama orang2 disana,kulitnya bagus2 (walau katanya hampir 90% pernah operasi plastik,wow!!!),mereka kaya boneka persis kaya aktor2 sinetron korea yang lagi banyak diputer di Indonesia..
gw juga salut ama kebiasaan berdoa mereka..10 jempol lah buat mereka!patut ditiru!!gak salah mereka jadi bangsa yang maju..

the point is..
Korea meninggalkan banyak cerita indah buat gw..sebenernya masih banyak yang pengen diceritain..sometime,i'd love to visit Korea again..gak rugi lah kalo kalian mencoba untuk datang kesana..
pesan gw sih,belajar sedikit bahasa korea dulu!mereka tuh jarang banget yang bisa ngomong pake bahasa inggris!masih pinteran anak2 SD disini,huehehe..

Graduation..

akhirnyaaa..

setelah enam tahun lulus dari bangku sma (bayangin lama bener kan),gw menyandang gelar bergengsi juga nih (kata sapa juga ya bergengsi)..hoho..
S.IP a.k.a Sarjana Ilmu Politik..
siapa yang nyangka,anak tengil kaya gw yang awalnya sama sekali gak berpikir buat kuliah di jurusan yang namanya Hubungan Internasional (berhubung namanya keren aja),dinyatakan lulus ketika usianya sudah mencapai 23tahun,huahaha tua sekali..padahal awalnya berharap bakal jadi sarjana pada usia 20tahun..atas asumsi gw lulus sma waktu berumur 16tahun dan bakal duduk di bangku kuliah cuma 4 tahun..

nah loo!?!?bingung gak?
ya singkat cerita begini,gw pertamakali menempuh studi pada jurusan Sastra Jerman..namun setelah dua tahun berikutnya,gw mencoba untuk ikut ujian yg namanya ganti2 mulu,jaman gw sih 'SPMB' (sebenernya sih tiap tahun juga nyoba,karna berangan2 sekali masuk jurusan kedokteran ato teknik,huehehe,meskipun sadar kemampuan akademik gak bagus2 amat)

menurut rumus kecepatan (v=s/t),waktu studi di HI gw tempuh selama 4,5 tahun (nyabung aja)..jadi total waktu tempuh sehabis lulus menurut persamaan kuadrat yang diintegralkan (?!?!?) adalah 2+4,5=6,5 tahun

sayaaaang..
pengorbanan selama itu tidak dibayar dengan satu hari yang bisa bikin momen indah dalam hidup seseorang..(i mean 'wisuda')..karena saya memilih untuk pergi ke korea untuk misi yang jauh lebih penting..
hari bersejarah yang harusnya diisi dengan momen foto2 keluarga dan temen2 dengan memakai toga,makan2 haram,dan sebagainya memang pudarlah sudah,padahal bayangkan,nyokap gw tuh udah bikin kebaya dari kapan tahun buat dipakai di wisudaan gw..
i just wanna say so sorry to my lovely mom..gw akan membalas dengan sesuatu yang jauh lebih berharga suatu saat nanti..(amin,saudara2??)

so?sekarang gw hanyalah seorang pengangguran merangkap mahasiswa terancam eksistensinya (beda cerita,dirahasiakan) yang berusaha untuk menggapai cita2 untuk masa depannya (lebaay..)

satu hal saja,kok rasanya gak ada bedanya menyandang gelar Sarjana Ilmu Politik saat ini ya?!?!?ckckckckckck..

i'm back..

wow,it seems like thousand years i didn't push any button on my keyboard even just to type 'hello' in my blog..
but now,here i am.. :)

there're actually so much stories i'd love to write..almost one year after my latest posting in my blog, it must be so many things i experienced and faced in my life..

soon..i'm going to share fun,weird and also amazing stories to everyone who loved to open this blog,and i hope,you could enjoy it..

see ya soon..
