Who knows, it left a month before the year turns into the new one again, wew. It actually did felt like "WHOAAA". The definition of the disaster keep coming back and forth. Too many thingsss changed during a year.. Probably it's like I am- assigned, to join an examination and taking topics of pandemic and quarter life crisis part.. fiuh. Gotta give my self a little pat in the back for being such a strong girl... you're doing great!
I want to close this year by remembering the good things rather than the bad ones, so here I present you.. One of the best moment 2021 so far.. was my hiking journey to 'Gunung Prau' along with my other 13 friends.. it will always be missed and remembered, somehow. I actually could call it as a birthday journey, because the hiking did exactly on my birthday. I was thinking maybe I should giving my self a journey-gift once a year.. because it's actually giving me so much time to reflect and discover a new perspective.
So, speaking about the hiking part. Prau is actually a good choice for such an amateur hiker for me. It's not too high or too hard to be climbed (as what I've experienced). We choose hike from 'Patak Banteng'. People say, this one was the hardest terrain to take but had the shortest distances. And one thing about hiking is never underestimate the weather. So please did a good preparation, such as for the water, food stock, warm clothes, blanket, etc. Cause, I actually almost experienced hypothermia during the night back then, I had no idea how to stop the cold, I've been wearing one warm cloth, two jackets, sleeping bag, warm gloves, socks, till Mbak Mia helped cover my toe with bag, then hugged me. :') The tent even getting watery even when it wasn't raining, due to the cold weather during the night..
Trying to go the other side from what I know exactly the world is telling me to?
Been missing this space for sure. Honestly, i don't know why it's sooo sooo hard to spare times to blab at here, but hopefully I could finish what I write this time. We all know, 2020 went unpredictable. Start with few nature's disaster followed by the coming of corona pandemic. Well, let's say that the phrase which said "man may make plans, but only God who decides" is not debatable. We all know 2020 supposed to provide many "pretty dates" they say, when people planned for held some special events such as, marriage, engagement, birth, etc. But, who knows? Allah turns it upside down. We are prohibited to do things and stuffs we used to do. from the basic into the most complicated things.
2020 is somehow a special year, for me. It marks my quarter of century living as a human. They say, 25 comes with its quarter life crisis. But, what was it? I thought, every year bring us another problem to conquer, another self identity to discover, another feeling to feel, and another goals to pursue. And among those phase we need to pass, we all may and normally to feel lost and be bitter.
Every year, we are wandering unlocking our hidden destiny while our consciousness still telling us where we want to go, but the reality doesn't always goes the way we want it and that's when the crisis come. That's when we feel lost and upmost from our own gravity. Then, asking about our existence.
By the way, nothing much happened on my 25's birthday. Beside, we were all in self-distancing mode. I didn't even celebrate it with my family. I bought my own birthday cake two weeks after it. I bought a cheesecake as a self-appreciation. I didn't even light my candle because I couldn't find the lighter at my own home- haha. By the way, my family has been moving to Malang since the beginning of Corona started. So, my home at Surabaya temporarily empty. I rarely go there and mostly stay at Gresik due to the regulation.
Well, that's all I can tell about the birthday.

Lagi random bgt deh.. gabisa tidur.. dan akhirnya ngeliatin rak buku.. iseng-iseng buka novel-novel yang uda lama ga tersentuh, dan waktu aku bukain satu-satu, weh! pada berjamur bercak-bercak gitu! apalagi ini!
oiya, kalo orang tanya/minta rekomendasi novel ke aku
pasti aku bakal bilang "Apa ya? aku sih sukanya Perahu Kertas"
Gatau aku suka aja sama ceritanya. Ngena aja gitu. Ceritanya ngalir dan realistis. Aku suka ceritanya Kugy sama Keenaan, yang ngejar mimpi, yang diem-diem ternyata punya perasaan yang kuat gitu, bukan karena kisah cinta yang unyu-unyu dan romantis, tapi emang karena ada sesuatu dr mereka berdua yang "klik", yang bisa mendukung satu sama lain.. mengisi satu sama lain.. menginspirasi satu sama lain.. dan terbiasa dengan itu semua.
Dan menurut aku... that's how love simply works, in reality.
"Saya belajar dari kisah hidup seseorang. Hati tidak pernah memilih. Hati dipilih, jadi kalau Keenan bilang, Keenan telah memilih saya, selamanya Keenan tidak akan pernah tulus mencintai saya. Karena hati tidak perlu memilih. Ia selalu tahu kemana harus berlabuh."
Last Saturday and Sunday, me and my other four friends just had a short holiday to Malang :) Well, actually we supposed to look for villa for our major's event next month in there.. But beside that, we took our times and had fun instead. :-p
So, we went there from Surabaya at 11a.m on Saturday morning, actually it supposed to be at 5a.m, but because of my sudden event, we couldn't make it, and end up went there at 11a.m. The traffic was kinda crowded that day, it took 6hours for us to arrive at Malang, and.. luckily the weather was not so hot, it was kinda gloomy, even we wished that it will rain, but it wasn't. We sang a lot at car, talking this and that.. you know, heart's problems =)) took photos, made video, slept, ate, and so many else.
Finally, at 17.17 we arrived at Egar's house. Placed at Jalan Sulfat, Malang, it has a super cozy environment, also the weather, it was cool, kinda windy, and the grey sky, made it feel perfect! After entering the house, Egar's mom was greeting us, and let us cleaning our self. The girls were sleeping at Egar's room which all is colored blue (and i think, omik would love it) then the boys were sleeping at Egar's sister's room which dominated with pink, hahahaha. After had some rest, Egar's parents invited us to have a dinner outside and we ate Sop Ayam! Which made us so full at a blink of eye! Ugh, but it was a delicious choice in that kind of weather, thank you so much om dan tante for the foods heheh! :)
the way our horizons meet..
After done eating, Me, bibib, temon, icak, palom were going to Payung. (Egar couldn't join us because he was sick), We seek for that famous starry night Batu's view in there~ Though the traffic was kinda jam.. we still enjoy our trip.. and finally arrived there. After moved from one place to another because of so many reasons, we could finally decide a place and delivered some foods! Like, milk, bread toast, and grilled corn. I enjoy gazing at the night's view.. though it's kinda cold, i felt happiness running through my veins, and made me feel warmer within myself. You know.. as I passed every way into there, I saw many old films playing in my mind, like.. every place has its own memory at my heart.. and i missed them all. But now, 3 years after that, i have my new journey with new people, making new stories all over again, and i figure out how fast times are. :) After enough enjoying the night, we back to Egar's house, and arrived there at 11.54 pm. Soon, after we entered the house, 3 people were directly pray Isya, and the left 2 were busy took out their stomach's contents wkwkwk, soon then we slept !
The 2nd daay, we went to Cuban Rondo Waterfall. Honestly, that was my first time going there =)) Like usual, we took photos, entered the pond, and the water was supppeerrr cold =)) From Cuban Rondo, we had lunch with Egar, Jija, Dzul, and Egar's brother at Waroeng Bamboe. Was a cozy restaurant with good concept. Lastly, we went to find the villa, haha!
Around 5 pm, we had our way to go back to Surabaya. Not doing much in the car, because everyone was already tired. (feeling sorry for Temon because he couldn't take a rest as long as the journey like we do). Was another great journey with friends :) and my personal companion who company me even when it was only through the phone, haha! looking forward for the next. Hopefully soon yah! Thanks everybody.
It's 2.18 A.M in the morning, but as I'm still here, you know, I can't sleep..
Well, maybe I should killing my time here.. I've turned on my room's cooler, listening to music, and things similar to that.. Yep, being in cycle is really a bad thing in Ramadhan's month.. huf..
Hey..
Time is really one kind of a magic, I guess. You know what, It's been a month since my first day of holiday. And 23rd day of fasting! I know, days must have been passed really good until i didn't realize it at all :)
I really thankful to You, Allah.
These days, I have those people who always there taking care of me, company me, day to night, day to afternoon, night to morning, lucky enough right? :) Plus, in this holiday I have sort of things to do at morning to afternoon. Sometimes, I company my aunty in running her bakery business.. I'm not doing anything big, sometimes I just packed the cookies, hmm or had mixing some ingredients, also picking it to some places with my aunty. Though, sometimes I felt tired in the night, I never regret myself, because I'm feeling happy while doing it.. Except for the cats's disturbance in my aunty's house. There are 7cats in there.. Can you imagine how's my feeling? Even, there's one that ever disturbing while I'm praying.. You guys must know just how much I was frightened and holding so much of my fear.. ckckck --
Hmm, tonight.. I want to share something too
So, yesterday, I had a sudden little bit cheesy conversation with my mother. And what I wanna share with you is what's it about. I don't know what made my mom asked this to me, but suddenly,
"Kak, why do you have no boyfriend, until now?"
I'm not really took it serious, cause my mom ever asked me the same question couple time before.. But then, my mom continued her words.
"..because, when you already in job's places, it will be kinda hard to look for it. You'll only have a small circle to communicate it. More over, if you already feel so much comfortable with your job. You'll start to think, that you're really a total independent woman, who doesn't need anyone to share your life with.. Many women have experienced that way.. You know that, right?"
I took a moment to consider what suitable answer for my mom. I told her that I had that kind of scary of being attached with someone. I don't like to trust anyone and being depend on them. I feel it's enough for me for just being an independent one for myself. Then, my mom continued her words.. "You don't need to be in relationship, being just two only with your boyfriend, mom also not really like that, but mom only want you to try knowing someone. try to know how's their personality. try to know how to trust person. try to maintenance things with someone. one day, you'll meet the best person to suit in your life. but one day too, you'll also meet that bad people, who will push you to your patience's limits, who'll scratch your heart with hurt, and leave you for some lessons in the future."
I know, 19 is still an early age for those stuffs. I should take my education at my first option. But, I know what my mother means. Later, I'm not only facing life through books, paper, or presentation. You know, world is wicker out there.. People with two faces are everywhere. And only some who show you their true color in your life... :)
I used to keep pushing away someone that I think I won't to stay with from the start. I used to let things be broken when it already took me down, I will just leave it without trying to fix them first. But, lately, I learn not to. Someone told me that I should try trusting people. Not being too arrogant, and looks strong outside. Try to say what I really feel. Yea, I want to fight for something which I know it will worth fighting for..
I remembered with what Ted from HIMYM says, "When you believe in people, people come through."
And, I'm just still looking for the really right one :)
It's like thousand times (aha, I know I'm too much in saying words), but Allah, it's true.. I'm just feeling so blessed of You for sending me four kind and inspiring brothers like them. Yeah, literally i only have one brother. The other three are sons of my uncle, but since we're growing up together, though we ever separated for some years because they lived abroad, we're close enough as siblings :)
So, there are two of my brother who currently living outside Surabaya. They are at Malang and Bandung. But there are still two who live at Surabaya. Like, I've been give them a hurry-curry condition, again and again, but they're always there helping me.
Sometimes, I asked about my subject to the youngest one. But most time, I ask for advice to the older one. Tehee, and I'm more closer to the older one. Yea, He's more friendly, he always picks me up, when I have event at ITS Pusat, he always picks me up, whenever I'm sick. He always invites to watch movie, though sometimes because he doesn't have a companion, and I never make any of my $$$ out :p I always can ask him many goooooood movies, or Korean variety shows, mostly is Running Man.
My this older brother is also so so sweet. Whenever he picks me in crowded place, he always waves his hands from distances, though I had see him coming! He said that "Yo takute kamu ga kelihatan Ka." and he never make me wait for more than 5minutes. And always waiting so patiently. (so different from the other three)
Different brother, different typical.
Now, it's my 3rd brother! He's kinda moody, sometimes he's so kiiiiiiiiind, sometimes then he's so evil. Sometimes he's so childish, sometimes then he's so father-soon-to-be. He likes treat me foods, but then calling me "Ndut", "Yek perutmu lho hahahaha." He always asks me to ask mom for sending him money! Geez. And he really can't wait something for a moment, i mean he's really really tidak sabaran. I often being left by him when he already promised to pick me up.
Hmmm, But recently, since he has new girlfriend, he becomes so..kind yet scary too =))
Because, lately he always calls me "Ya, ada apa cantik?" "Suda di ruma cantik?" whenever I chat him. Grr
And the last one! It's the oldest one. And right now, he's currently living at Bandung for his study. He's the most friendly, smartest, and.. what to say? Up to date one. He has a really high pride and self confidence. But everytime he's at Surabaya, he's more likely his twin. He ever pick me up to hospital too when I'm sick. Yea, I could ask him about anything. He's the one who taught me to solve rubic without memorize the formulas. But It didn't work...krik haha.
Yea, that's all a glimpse about my brothers! And, btw, right now, they're already in the end of their college's life. Two are busy with their final project and two others are busy with their practical work.
There's nothing else but the best wishes, that I can give to you bro.
Lastly, Merci, brothers for always save my life! c:
Judul di atas dipersembahkan buat diri saya sendiri. Kapan bisa berpikir lebih mahasiswa-is?
Baru saja melanglang buana di beberapa blog, yang penulisnya adalah seorang mahasiswa. Cuman ada dua hal yang sering saya lakukan ketika membaca tulisan-tulisan mereka, 1. berdecak kagum 2. manggut-manggut. Intinya, tulisan mereka terlalu luar biasa, banyak benernya, dan yang paling penting mahasiswa banget.
Tapi, sebelumnya, saya mau jelasin dulu, gimana sih definisi tulisan yang mahasiswa banget buat saya?
Yang pertama, menurut saya, mereka yang sudah mahasiswa-is sudah mampu mengangkat sebuah topik yang cangkupannya Nasional, disini mereka nggak mengangkat sesuatu yang individual. Mereka membahas permasalahan dalam cangkup negara. Entah dunia ekonomi, pendidikan, politik, sosial, dll. Mereka mampu menyajikan data-data ataupun informasi yang berkaitan, yang bisa bikin pembaca, "Oh ternyata ada yang kayak gitu ya." Setelahnya, mereka mulai angkat bicara, mereka sampaikan argumen-argumen mereka, poin-poin dari tulisan mereka, gimana tanggepan mereka, gimana kritik mereka, dan gimana solusi dari mereka. Mostly, semua yang mereka sampaikan, itu dalem, maksudnya, "Wow." tapi endingnya mereka juga tetep bisa kasih suatu saran, solusi, atau ide penyelesaian yang konstruktif.
Buat saya, ya harusnya gini ini, 'mahasiswa-is' Ngga cuman komentarin, nyerca, dan hal-hal sejenisnya terhadap sebuah permasalahan. Tapi juga harus bisa menyarankan solusi yang solutif. Apalagi, umur-umurnya mahasiswa ini kan, usia-usia muda yang 'they said' lagi berada dalam zona kreatif seorang manusia. Zona dimana kita suka menghayalkan hal-hal ekstrim, bahkan harusnya ini juga sebuah zona ketika kita bisa membuat nyata hal-hal ekstrim itu. Kok bisa? Ya, mahasiswa (apalagi yang sampe kuliah S2, S3) itu kan jenjang tertinggi dari sebuah pendidikan. Mulai PG, TK, SD, SMP, SMA, dan akhirnya kuliah. Kan sayang banget gitu harusnya, kalo sejauh itu kita bersekolah, ujung-ujungnya cuman orientasi uang? Dan ilmunya dibiarin menguap. Tapi, yah.. gabisa munafik sih. Tanpa uang, somehow, kita jadi kurang punya taring
Kenapa perlu berpikir mahasiswa-is?
Firstly, karena emang status kita adalah seorang mahasiswa, jadi udah harfiahnya kita kudu berpikiran yang lebih mahasiswa-is. Kita calon pondasi-pondasi penegak bangsa kita selanjutnya, 20 atau 30 tahun lagi. Masa depan bangsa turun ke tangan kita. Kalo, pola pikir kita masih cuman, "besok ada peer ga ya".. kan juga gimana gitu kan..
Pingin, pingin banget bisa kayak mereka-mereka yang sudah kasih kontribusi nyata buat bumi pertiwi ini, dalam cakupan mereka sebagai mahasiswa. Okelah, 'tapi kan saya masih mahasiswa tahun I. Jadi, gapapalah, masih kayak gini..' Sering-sering banget saya mengagung-agungkan mereka, terinspirasi, namun pada akhirnya saya hanya melakukan pembelaan diri seperti itu.
Sampai suatu hari, saya menemukan sebuah kata bijak, seperti ini (dengan sedikit perubahan)
Seandainya, bila kata 'tapi' itu tidak ada Bayangkan, ketika kata 'tapi' itu tidak ada dalam kamus kehidupan kita. Ketika kita melakukan kesalahan, kita tidak bisa mengelak, dengan kata 'tapi...tadi..' dan membuat beribu alasan, atau justru, mengambing hitamkan orang lain. Be someone a little braver.. Mulailah dengan, ketika kamu melakukan sebuah kesalahan, jangan katakan 'tapi..' dari kata itulah, dirimu memulai memaafkan dirimu dari kesalahan-kesalahan nya, dan akhirnya mengulangnya lagi di hari kedepan. Katakan, 'iya saya salah karena...saya..' Akui kekuranganmu. Supaya itu bisa menambahmu dengan hal yang lebih baik kedepannya
Memang saya punya kekurangan, saya kurang berani mengungkapkan pendapat secara langsung. Saya masih belajar, saya juga nggak tahu berapa lama waktu yang diperlukan sampai saya bisa menjadi seperti mereka yang sudah berkontribusi secara nyata. Melalui tulisan-tulisan ini dululah saya akan belajar untuk menjadi mahasiswa yang mahasiswa-is.
Mengutip kata-kata yang diucapkan oleh salah satu pembicara, yang notabene dari kalangan dosen di universitas saya, dalam sebuah acara pembukaan welpar jurnalistik universitas saya beberapa bulan yang lalu. "Ketika kamu belum berani berbicara. Tulislah saja apa itu yang ingin kamu katakan"
Sedikit namun begitu memotivasi. Saya sangat setuju dengan beliau. Setidaknya, kata-kata beliau mampu membangkitkan semangat orang-orang yang kurang berani berbicara seperti saya ini. Kontribusi bukan hanya tentang turun ke jalan, berorasi. Dengan hanya kita ingin tahu, disitulah kita sudah berkontribusi. Buat saya, words have power. Apalagi real action. Apapun medianya, berorasi, menulis, menyumbang, kampanye, dan sebagainya. Semoga, saya bisa lebih mahasiwa-is kedepannya.
Jadi ?
Akankah kita menjadi pemuda sebagai potensi negara ?
Atau pemuda sebagai sumber permasalahan sebuah negara ?
Kita sendiri yang tentukan.
Semoga kita bisa menjadi insan yang berguna.
As for what Gordon-Levitt wants in a woman, he tells, “Making checklists of things you’re looking for in a person is the numero uno thingyou can do to guarantee you’ll be alone forever.”
He adds,“You just have to pay attention, keep your eyes open, listen to people and be present. I guess what I look for in a girl is someone who’s doing that too.”
Well, today was another great and tiring day for me! I slept only three hours this morning and now, I just got home at 11 PM for accompanying my mom to meet up with her friends. So what's up today? Bheuh! today me and some of my friends (icha, egar, yunita, ika, bella, and tio) went to Car Free Day Darmo. It was a sudden plan from Egar. I got the info from Icha, she asked me to join them vending at CFD, and they need me to help them bringing the goods from Icha's house to Darmo. I thought it was a good chance to get a new experience, so I agreed. Alhamdulillah, Although, we got there too late, we still made to sell our goods! And it almost sold out! :)
Actually, I wasn't feeling pretty well, since it was crowded in there. but It was my first time, joining Car Free Day at Darmo since it's far from my home, so I had a good time this morning :3 There are many moments that i could see while I was there. I met some of my high school's friends. I also saw a Sugar Glider, from KGSI (a community of its lovers) And what's most important is.. Todaay, I learnt how hard was it to earn money. How 3000 could be so so precious.. That's why we should be grateful for every rezeki that Allah has given to us :)
thanks to Tio for capturing us :3
Owner of the day
P.S: Good job! to Icha and dedek Faiz, for making the Sari Dele. And thanks to Egar, for the invitation! Looking forward for next time! Ok, that's all for today! Happy Monsterday all. Hoaaam~
Hello, Rizka's coming again :3 rajin banget kan aku ya :3 Ngepost terus :3 maklum lagi kurang kerjaan, wkwkwk duuh nggak sadar diri :)) padahal tugas asistensi masih terlantar ._. Gppa wes, nanti malem kan aku ngerjain kok ;) (oh dunia harus tau gitu cil --)
I don't have much things to do today, because daddy need to work, my brother isn't at Surabaya, and I don't have a boyfriend :3 (lhoh apa hubungannya cil :p) so I just spend my Saturday at home. Gonna share you what I've done today! Yuk cekidot ;)
1. Cycling
Have I ever told you how much I like cycling? :3 Yes! I do really love to go cycling. Usually I do this routine every Saturday and Sunday morning. But I haven't doing this quite long, because those busy weeks of school, so I'm so happy today cause finally i could go cycling :3 I have my usual track, Tenggilis and Pakuwon City. I don't go too far, because my parents don't allow me go further since I'm a girl and I go cycling myself, so they think i should take care :3
Thanks God it's Friday yay ! Finally I woke up earlier this morning :') My normal sleep hours is back, so so happy.. Currently doing my task with friends in this early day, wish it was a good sign that I would be back productive again in days on :p
**
Gonna continue my last morning post. Yesterday, My friday was keep going on. so I just arrived at home from Malang this morning, for taking my brother back there because he'll have an exam today, i have no idea how my brother's feeling to have an exam on Saturday? A bit suck, i guess ckck.. Beside, we took my brother back to Malang, me and my family were coming to my mom's friend's house first. It placed at Lawang and the weather there was really nice. The house has a big yard and good view, it's a 1948's building, so vintage and classic. Such a comfy place to relieve all stresses. After had chit-chat, we were treated by a super delicious dinner. I ate much enough (as always) :P. My mom's friend really had an unique family, he has ten siblings, and all of them are really like to make jokes even though they're no longer a teenager :)))) (they're already 50-68 years old)
So..last night me and my family just couldn't stop laughing to hear their stories =)) Not only told numbers of funny stories but they also gave my family some 'wejangan' since they're older than us so they already had more experiences in life, and it really worth to hear.
From them, i can learn so many things.. I see, how beautiful is the togetherness in a family. Since we're growing up together with them, from a tiny baby until insya' Allah being a grandmother / grandfather (aamiin), they're the ones who know our good and bad, then still accept and love us, endlessly. they're the ones who always gonna be there when we're up or down, when we're happy or sad, when we're holding too much or angry, the ones who's gonna catch us whenever we fall. Place where we could be who we are. No pretending, no drama, it just a place where we can simply be ourself..
And place where we can always calling it, home.
“Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” ― Marjorie Pay Hinckley
Yes, even though we ever argue each other, so many times about so many stuffs, in the end we also know how to forgive each other. Look through and see how deep deep in my heart, i know that how big is my love for my family, they're irreplaceable, they're the numero uno. they're ones in the whole universe, and I'm so thankful to Allah SWT for sending me such guardians in this earth, one pack with...their goodness.. their flaws.. their loves.. and their spirits..
Heyhoo! Feeling good after waking up, Alhamdulillah still got a chance from Allah SWT to breath the air again today, Wish everyone is in a good health of course ;)
Well, I’m so thankful that I’ve been having good pals around, they’re my college’s friends, tehee. I know that we are so kemriyek most time, but I swear ya, we are good kids. we are just have some trouble on holding to not laughing :)) We already had good times together indeed!
We have schedule on every Wednesday to try some ‘kuliner’ in our city, Surabaya. In order to not bored for bringing lunch from home everyday. Though, we just only did it for couple times (looking forward for next times ahead yeayyy!), I already had so much funny times with them.
Like… anytime I’m hanging around with them, I could be somebody close to I am. Talk what I wanna talk. Sad. Badmood. Sick. Angry. Makes some jokes till we can’t stop laughing so hard. Shares some stories. Singing with my…ehm..bad voice. Study together. And travel to some places.
On Wednesday two weeks ago, We went to Aiola, since some of us coming from different cities, so they have not been here before. We bought different foods in there, there are Gado-gado, siomay, batagor, mi pitik, nasi goreng, es campur, etc. You only need to pay less than Rp 15.000 to get those yummy meals plus the drink! :9 By the way, we also bought two glasses of chocolate milk and then we drank it together. It’s so ROTFL (even mbak-mbak yang jualan pun ngetawain kita saking kordesnya) Moreover, it’s only a glass that contains of 1 liter milk in there, but there were 7 straws inside, and we must share it for 12 people -_-
On Wednesday weeks ago, me, derai, icha, and bibip went to Soto Ayam Lamongan Cak Har on Jl. Arief Rahman Hakim. By the way Soto is a kind of soup which colored yellow contains of slices of chicken, white noodle, rice, fried union, and koya :9 Best to taste in warm condition and don’t forget to eat them with Krupuuk ya! :9 By paying Rp 14.000 you could felt awesomely full after ate them! since the Soto is really yummy many and …. presented with so many koya zuurrpppp, haaaa heaven of the world ~
on last Friday we went to House of Sampoerna because Derai haven’t gone there. then we continued our journey to Hotel of Majapahit :D Such a beautiful historical place to visit!
House of Sampoerna (image source: google.com)
House of Sampoerna is an exhibition place of cigarettes producer in Surabaya. Presenting some old photos, furniture, kinds of tobacco, and marching band. There also featured with a digital computer to see videos, photos, and information. On the second floor, there is a place for buying souvenirs and watch the process of cigarette’s making lively! :D
But what most attract us to go there that afternoon is to try the “Surabaya Heritage”, short journey to see some tourist destination in Surabaya by taking on a bus. That friday the schedule written going to Kampung Kraton. Cak Durasim, and City Hall. but sadly we didn’t catch the departure times. Huhuhu. Maybe next time! ;)
Last one is…*drums roll*
The Hotel Majapahit's beautiful view in advance (image source: google.com)
Hotel Majapahit Surabaya \m/ One of historical place that still treated well in Surabaya. A hotel where the Holland’s flag teared by Arek-arek Suroboyo accident held. Place that made Surabaya being well known as The city of heroes :) Providing a view of building in Holland’s era. Old yet so classy ;) You could see some nice parks with fountains in the center of it while walking on its classic corridors. Like..you can treasuring back to the past B) Especially when you enter the rest room…uh baby though it feels a bit creepy..you certainly could feels and see how’s the Holland era in there..hrrrr :))
P.S You don’t need to pay anything just to see how’s inside the Hotel, free parking beybi :)
Losing someone in our life may the most pathetic things that should happens in our life. Whether that person's going into the other dimension from us or going into another place and different times from we placed, which we apart from them. I believe and I know that it must be a hard time, when we should learn to let them go, holding on thousand memories that we had with them back then, alone.
well, actually, Alhamdulillah i haven't properly losing someone that really close to me, in my life. But I know.. soon or late, one day, myself or people that i love, one by one, will leave this world into the afterlife and back to their Owner. they're now still alive and I'm so thankful to Allah SWT for giving them long ages so they can stay here with me. And i just can wishing them all the best, healthiness, long ages, and happiness..
Now, I understand. When I'm riding at the night, remembering how my life was and thinking how my life is. Yesterday i had this..and that.. and now I don't have this.. and that.. From those little things I could take summary that there's nothing immortal in this world. Everything's just a temporary things. All that we have is only a deposit. Since it was a deposit, of course, one day the Owner's gonna take it back.
Lost is an usual thing that happens in reality. The hard thing is to let it go. Especially when what we lost..is something that really precious to us, something that we love the most, it's like a 'limited edition' and there's only one in the world :'(
For me, lost is a momentum that we never know what influence that it may bring in our life. waking us up? dropping down us? making flat our life? making an unfair world to us? Losing somebody/something could bring us closer to our Maker or further from Him? Those all depend to ourself. How smart are we to take a summary of its every accident. If we do believe that everything happens for a reason, i believe, slowly we're gonna accept it and judge it wiser about that thing. Lost can make people like.. they have soul inside their body, but they don't feel alive. Going everywhere with an empty sight, thinking about thousand old memories, beautiful but pseudo. or the way, keep living although their souls ever scratched and banged with hurt. But here they are, it's life, if there's a beginning there's gonna be an end. Morning comes not just a sign that it's already 7 AM we need to get up and go for school. No, it's not. Morning comes to remind us that after every darkness, insya' Allah there will new light rises. And use that for a reason to us, a reason to keep moving on in this short life..
Sadness is humanitarian. Cause Allah gives us a felling to can feel each other. Loving, hating, caring, respecting, adoring, etc. But till when, a grey sky's hanging above your day? Maybe they do refresh you with thousands beautiful memories back then. Okay, for some couple times, that's ok. Because, memories are a black-white film that formed how we are today. But remember, Allah makes this earth with successive seasons, hazy, rainy, sunny, snowy. So we can learn from them.. Never ungrateful for everything that you've got or you haven't yet today.
Life is a balance.. :)
Life is keep spinning.. :)
Life is a mystery.. :)
But don't forget.
Life is a gift that Allah gives to us..
And a gift must be a beautiful thing to we have :)
Maybe not right in this time, but eventually.
"You will never know how hard is it to let go of something until you feel it yourself"
For everyone that just lost somebody/something. for everyone that must live without them that used to be there. There are still many stories that you haven't read. There are still many blank pages that you haven't written with your life's stories. Never stop smiling for them that used to make you smile.. :)
sering banget dibully sama anak kelas, apalagi anak-anak cowok, gara-garanya, gak tau, perasaan ya biasa aja, masa aku ini dibilang alay, huft banget kan? =)) gak cuman di kuliah ini aja se. dulu SMA juga, keuwingeett ngettt banget yang paling menyayat hati =))
Jadi, waktu kelas 12 SMA itu, pelajaran bahasa Inggris, dapet tugas dari guru tercinta, Mr. Sugeng, buat main 'bee-keeper' gitu. Jadi tiap anak di kelas, maju ke depan, ambil kertas yang isinya, siapa 'bee'nya kalian. (lhoh sek sek btw yang jadi bee ku sapa ya?) =)) nahh terus. setiap pertemuan kita itu disuru bikin surat gitu buat bee gitu. terus pertemuan lanjutannya suratnya dibaca di depan. sekaliaan be'e ada yang wes bisa nebak siapa bee keepernya sapa juga gpp.
nhah terus itu temenku, Kharis, mbaca suratnya dari bee keepernya dia depan gitu kan, ada kata2 "hehe" "yaaw" nya gitu, nyampek Kharisnya mbaca nya sambil ngakak2, terus pas sudah selesai mbaca, ditanyai sama Pak Sugeng,
"do you know who's your bee keeper?"
terus lhoo, gak cuman Kharis yang jawab, Reggy, Antony, gatau dari zona degradasi pokoknya, isoke langsung, "sopo maneh seng alay, acil laaaaaaaaaaaahhh" nueges. nguetek. pasang muka menuduh.
wkwkwkwk mangkelin caak =)) lek seng alay-alay ae kok langsung aku =))
Padahal lho guduk dan beneran bukan aku :')
Gak cuman itu. Pas, udah kebukti bukan bee keepernya, aku langsung dijadiin tersangka kasus lain di kelas. Jadi dikelasku itu, ada seorang anak, yang......ya 'begitulah'. yang.....'digituin' sama anak-anak kelas. Yaah, biasa lah, di kelas, pasti ada aja kan anaknya.. =)) lahkok, pas udah tenang-tenang ndak jadi tertuduh dari bee keeper Kharis yang nulis surat dengan beberapa kata alay, masa aku dituduh jadi bee keepernya anak itu :'(
Mesti kalo ditanya pak Sugeng,
"siapa yang jadi bee keepernya *tiiittt* nanti temui saya ya?"
Mesti anak zona degradasi rame dewe
"Kon yo cil?"
"Cil ngakuo cil"
"Cil ikuloo cil, istirahat, ojok lali."
Mangkelin caak, mesti lek tak tanya, "lapoo se kok mesti aku"
"lhah kamu lak yang sering duduk sama dia..............trs omong2an"
Wkwkwk ancen seh, lhah yaapa, aku mesti gadapet temen duduk, gara2nya mesti dateng mepet2, mbasio ga dateng mepet yaa mesti jek duduk kambe dee se, lhah terus masa leek duduk sebangku ga tak ajak ngomong, hngg hnggg kan aku anak bangsa yang baik berbudi luhur. :') kita semua kan teman, apa salahnya broo :))
padahal bisa diliat sendiri, kalo yang di baris paling belakang lebih alay :))
ugh jadi kangen :'(
***
Nhah lahkok ternyata, masa tertuduhku sebagai orang alay nggak berakhir seiring aku lulus dari SMA, namun berlanjut juga di bangku perkuliahan... masa perasaan aku ngmg biasa-biasa aja, "ooo alaay" terus ancen seh, beberapa akhir ini, aku dtt punya tata bahasa baru, ancen seh, tak akui, iki alay sajane, tapi niat kami itu baik, supaya kita semua belajar peka :))
jadi, hmm udah pernah lihat bayu skak? sebenernya aku dtt ga terilhami dari bayu skak se, emang dulu kalo ga salah pas OK2BK jurusan pernah disetelin tapi yauda lupa sih, nhah jadi misalnya ak mau bilang,
"aku kebelet pipis, temenin aku poo"
itu bakal jadi
"a k p, t a p"
=))
gara-gara semenjak ini :'( ciyus peek, aku sering dikatain, apalagi ambe doyok iku, jarene alay. mesti dikatain, "ohhh alay komunity, tak join pooo" nggak cumn aku se, derai pisan =)) jadi keleng ceritanya derai, kan pas itu aku sama derai lagi sibuk ngerjain asistensi di pojokan kelas sama le dawas, terus jare iku, derai iku denger, ono seng celuk celuk "lay he alay he alay" tapi ga ngerti iku gawe sapa, eh lhakok pas derai noleh samping, doyok iku lagi lihatin ke arahe derai, =)) terus bertemu pandang, terus doyoke bilang
"ohhh ngeroso yo mbak?"
=))
tapi lhooo beneeran, semenjak pake bahasa gituan, kita sekelas makin punya chemistry (alah lah) satu sama lain, lumayan kan efisien pita suara mas broo. tapi pernah nih, kebiasaan bertata bahasa seperti ini kebawa waktu ada kelas. Seminggu yang lalu, di hari Jumat, salah satu dosen sedang mengajarkan mata kuliahnya. Aku pun memfokuskan pendengaran, ketika beliau selesai menjelaskan, aku menyeletuk "y", maksudnya ya aku paham, dan ternyata cuman aku yang nyeletuk -_- jadi "y" ku terdengar keras. diantara keheningan kelas. Dosenku pun membalas, "Apa y? Kok y?" kemudian mata anak2 sekelas berpusat ke aku =)) termasuk ibunya dan diguyuin, --
=))
yang paling hits akhir-akhir ini, dipanggil "btw" sama anak2, duh padahal yang suka ngmg btw itu nggak cuman aku, lagipula lhoo yang ngilokin aku "btw btw" itu juga sukanya ngmg pake "btw". duh resek kok emang anak-anak iki :'( udah gitu sekarang ga cuman anak cowo, bahkan anak2 ceweknya juga, vio iku apa maneh -_- "lhoh ada btw"
plis itu mlt bgt guys.
Berawal dari curhatanku ke teman-teman, “eh
aku pengen ikut liat ke Malang” di titanic masjid kampus, eh terus sama
anak-anak, Ica, Derai, Jatu, Bibip kok kebetulan kok kebetulan ya pas, ada mas
Fat nongol dari parkiran depan masjid -_- di panggilin mas Fath.
“Mas pet mas Pet ini lo rizka mau ngomong”
–
“opo?”
Terus akunya ga ngmg lah, kan sungkan –
“gak mas gak”
Eh terus pas jam-jam sore lagi sibuk dan
bingung2nya ngurusin tugas dan asistensi pemetaan, eh ketemu mas Fath,
“ada apa Riz?”
“Gkpapa mas, tadi itu lo anak-anak guyon,
mau tanya kalo aku mau ikut ke Malang boleh ta gak?” =))
“Lhoo gkpapa ikuto, sek sek” terus masnya
ngeluyur ke Pengajaran, ywes tak kira udah di anggep guyon lhah kan emang
guyon, tapi ya pingin emang tapi nanya nya guyon tapi pinginnya serius haha
Terus udah jam berlalu, ya udah ga
kepikiran sama sekali tentang guyonan tadi pagi, udah capek2nya bikin laporan

mading2, hahaha bener2 cobaan ya hari Jumat kemarin itu, gak dikit anak cewek
pada kenak PMS, jadi melan, naik turun moodnya gara2 itu semua, tapi untung
semua kegupuhan ini ujung2nya diakhiri tawa dan guyonan rame2, udah gitu Cupita
di bully huwahaha, =)) thx!
18.00 Waktunya rapat angkatan di ITS
Pusat... ga kebayang badan “Mblengesh”nya uda kaya gimana. (Red: mblengesh
merupakan bahasa osing dari kumus-kumus). Sempat kena super trap sama Bibila
maunya lihat Andrew Garfield main basket..eh pertandingan ditunda.. emang ga
baik mengkadali teman sendiri ya bib, nahlo =))
Ndeprok rame2 depan Masjid Manarul,
lumayanlah, kerasa lebih nyatunya antara D3 dan D4, well seperti kata kakak2
angkatan, kita gak ada namanya d3 dan d4, kita satu 2013. Semoga aja bisa
segera menyatu aamiin aamiin!
Jam 20:11 dapet sms dari Ica, katanya
rizka boleh ikut hwehehehe =)))) terus bingung2 dewe, kan padahal bercanda, kan
ga ngerti dibolehin apa gak sama ortu, kan padahal tugas dan evaluasi dada-dada
di depan mata, kan padahal sungkan soalnya sebenernya aku ndk berhak gitulooo
ikut ikut. Terus setelah galau2 sendiri eh malaah ada telp masuk =))) yaudah terus rizka nanya mama boleh ikut apa enggak, ternyata mama ayah ngijinin yaudaah kalo uda dapet restu dari orang tua ngerti sendiri kan rasanya? pertanda baik.
akhirnya fix, aku memutuskan buat ikut.
Ohyaa, rizka juga bertemu zizi lho malam itu.
Jam 21:30 sama anak2 habis rapat angkatan makan2 rame, udah ITS gelap banget, berasa jalan di hutan, udah mobil kaya begitu, hawanya kaya begitu, feelnya dapet banget: berasa mau uji nyali. hahahahaha, friday night banget. jam 22.30 baru nyampek rumah, dan 23:56, tidurlaaah saya zzz grok grok heheehe
Besok paginya, hari keberangkatan tiba. Sungkan dalam hati makin kerasa, tapi yah udalah disyukurin aja, nemu temen yang dapet undian berhadiah juga kok :p tapi sedih banget, masa dari 2 yang ilegal, yang di bully cuman aku doang :-( bikin makin sungkan ajaa =))
"Rizka...nanti tidur bis lho. kamarnya gak ada soalnya. Oh.. ada se, kamar mandi, pilih mana?"
setiap ada absen langsung sedih sendiri, "ah pasti gak dipanggil" tapi ternyata enggak lhooo, rizka juga dapet panggilan abseen lhoo, cuman dua kali dari beberapa-rapa kali, tapi gkpapa deh =))
Ternyata susah ya hidup jadi orang ilegal.
ikut dukung tim KJI ITS. lihat pameran jembatannya. dapet temen baru. ketemu temen lama. di bullyjadi the most kemriyek penumpang di bus!hahahah. banyak lah banyak pengalaman dari perjalanan tadi. First trip sama diploma sipil! And I really did have a nice trip. Bercanda gak ada habisnya. Kerasa kekeluargaannya sama anak2. Thanks for the chance that given to this "illegal" passenger :') So thankful. Haven't tell you guys about the KJI and KBGI events since I need to study for tomorrow evaluation. So sorry, next chance InsyAllah.
Semoga tahun depan bisa jadi pasukan yang bawa nama jurusan ini. Semoga pengalaman dan ilmunya bisa bermanfaat terus buat kita semua kedepannya, terutama aku. Sekali lagi, makasi kesempatannya :') Ini semua hanya awal perjalanan, semoga inspirasinya terus membakar sampai 4 tahun kita menempuh takdir bersama.
