Packing Tahap 1

1 tahap packing udah beres..... I'm sooooo bad at packing, jadi harus step by step... eventough i'm leaving on wednesday.

Tadi malem urusan ngepak dive gear: 2 BCD, 2 regulator, 2 wetsuit, 2 pasang booties, 2 fin, 3 mask, 2 snorkel, all packed inside my dive bag.. Dan begitu melihat dive bag gw yang segede gaban itu, bingung gimana bawanya tar...secara lebih gede dari koper gw dan yang pasti dive bag ini NGGAK ADA RODA untuk diseret-seret! Huh! pusing..pusing deh ntar bawanya. Mau minta tolong anak-anak cowo...? Yeaaah i wish... Secara mereka juga bakal menggotong dive bag masing-masing berikut koper/duffle bag masing-masing. Mana lagi regulator gw masukin di tas khusus dan akan gw jinjing sampe masuk cabin pesawat. Abis takut kalo masukin bagasi... takut di banting-banting dan dilempar-lempar ama petugas bandara yang suka brutal kalo lagi load dan unload bagasi. Regulator paling vital soalnya... kalo rusak, nyawa gw juga melayang ntar hahahaha...

Malem ini giliran packing baju dan printilan-printilan lain...biar besok malem bisa finalized. Hari rabu nggak akan sempet finalized lagi..soalnya pagi-pagi mo cek regulator ke sea pearl, trus ambil fin lagi di kuningan, trus jam 3 ke airport..

Satu lagi yang belum sempet gw lakuin....beli atasan bodysuit lengan panjang biar nggak iteeeeeeeem! Pengalaman selama ini yang cuma pake bikini inside my wetsuit, bikin kulit gosoooong pas surface interval.

Hmmmm....jual bodysuit yang murah dimana yah....?

Anyway... whiter shade of pale is one of my favorite song ever. Apparently, this was my grandpa's fave too... You see the connection here..?

Love the music, love the lyric... (though the lyric is fucked up and i found quite difficult to understand the exact meaning... but what the heck, i'm still loving it anyway!)
So, which version do like the most...?

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed

Celebrities Goin Political

I just read from gossip page that "penyanyi dangdut Saiful Jamil mencalonkan diri jadi wakil wali kota Serang..."

well, I'm not saying that he can't do political thingies... I barely judge people by the cover, but don't you think a leader should be a well-educated professional person?

can somebody tell me WHAT'S GOIN ON HERE...???

Harga Rumah Udah Gila!

boo'..boo'... gw baru nyadar kalo harga rumah dan tanah di Jakarta raya ini UDAH NGGAK MASUK AKAL!!

setelah 2 minggu keliling-keliling survey rumah di daerah selatan, hasilnya bikin gw shock berat! Nggak kebayang luas tanah 90m2 dengan bangunan cuma 60m2 harganya bisa lebih dari IDR 400juta!!! Gila yaaa... kamar pembantu rumah gw disibayak aja sama masih lebih besar dari kamar-kamar rumah mini itu!! 400juta tapi kagak layak huni booook! I mean, seriously ruangan-ruangannya nggak masuk akal!

Belum lagi apartamen di tengah kota.... Perbandingan luas bangunan dengan harganya: Suinjieeeeeeng abeeeees......!

No wonder mayang sari ngejar-ngejar bambang! hahahahahahaha

Good News, People!

Akhirnya... saya update blog ini lagi setelah vakum selama...selama... 4hari (??). Tapi saya punya alasan yang bagus kenapa jarang update akhir-akhir ini:
SAYA MALAS!


Anyway... akhirnya ada juga good news yang mau di sharing disini. Setelah kemaren sempat nangis-nangis darah dan meratapi nasib gara-gara keabisan tiket ke Bali buat diving (yeaah, remeber my previoust post about keparat long wiken bulan maret kemaren?)... akhirnya sekarang saya bisa juga diving ke Bali! Yeeeeppeeeee


Rencana dive trip kali ini udah dipersiapkan jauh lebih mateng dari awal april. Trip ini sendiri di kordinasi oleh mas Meang, dan setelah ngajak orang sana sini, terkumpulah 7 orang yang confirmed: Saya sendiri, kakak saya, Dina dan adeknya (lupa namanya siapa, hehehe), Bari, Yuke dan mas Meang sendiri sebagai Dive Master.


Paket yang ditawarkan harganya cukup murah (mengingat ini long wiken), hanya 2,2juta untuk 5hari 4malam, sudah termasuk dive trip itu sendiri selama 3hari (boat rental, scuba tank rental, makan siang), dan juga udah hotel + sarapan pagi (standar fasilitas hotel). Lebih lanjut, berhubung pemilik maskapai Batavia Air, Dina, akan bergabung dalam divetrip ini, akhirnya kita semua dapet special discount untuk penerbangan Jakarta-Denpasar-Jakarta, plus tidak perlu membayar biaya overweight dive gear dan koper... (saya yakin untuk koper pasti nggak akan overweight, tapi mengingat perlatan tempur kami begitu banyak, jaket BCD, Wetsuit, Fin, Mask, etc etc, overwight bisa-bisa 15kg! hahahaha). Rencananya berangkat dengan penerbangan Rabu sore, dan pulang Senin pagi.

*padang bai*

Dive trip ini nantinya akan dilakukan di dua spot, Tulamben dan Padang Bai. Untuk 1 hari, akan ada 3x dive; dive pagi jam 10an, surface interval dilanjutkan makan siang, dive kedua sekitar jam 1.30an, surface interval dan dive ketiga akan dilakukan sekitar jam 3-3.30 sore, tergantung perhitungan di dive computer. Sehingga dalam waktu 3hari kita bisa dapat 9 dive. Well, hari minggu yang pasti nggak akan diving lagi karena seninnya penerbangan pagi (baru diperbolehkan terbang minimal 24 jam setelah melakukan aktifitas diving, terutama untuk repetitive dive).



Hari pertama , diving di seputar Tulamben, yang pasti shipwreck di bangkai kapal USS Liberty yang karam pada tahun 1945, lalu kemudian dilanjutkan dengan wall dive (bisa ngeliat palung laut, hiiiiiii serem!). Padang bai sendiri belum tau hari apa, jumat atau sabtu.

*tulamben*

Well, sekian updatenya.. yang pasti perincian diving nanti akan saya update lagi, berikut foto-foto di bawah laut. Wooohoooooo!


Tulamben and Padang Bai... here i comeeeeee!!!



Ps: jangan kaget kalo nanti ngeliat saya hitam segosong-gosongnya!! I don't mind being gosong as long as i can have amazing dive trip!! Lagian saya bukan tipe cewe klemer-klemer yang takut item kebakar matahari ato tipe cewe dengan muka putih mulus kaya mba-mba gaul yang suka nongkrong di mall dengan LV tote bag

Ps lagi: booo' jangan menitip dan mengharapkan oleh-oleh yaa..karena bisa dipastikan saya nggak punya waktu belanja belanji... well ok, mungkin di malam terakir kalo nginep di Kuta

Baby Love

Actually, i'm not a big fan of Nicole Scherzinger.. Infact, i only know this song from her album/s, though i do know her ultimate band, "the pussy cat dolls", and some of their hits, but still I don't like their genre. It's too ABG...well, at least for me.

Turns out i found my self loooove this "baby love". Well, maybe because i currently SO MUCH IN LOVE with my bf... (don't ask me why )

Love surely can be funny... this is when your heart went booom!


We sooo in love...la..la..la..la... yeah we so in loooove...la..la..la..la..la..la

My Blog Dead

For the past 3 days, my blog dead for some unexplained reason. Now.. suddenly it backs from the sepulcher.. still, no one can explain why...

Why God..WHY???

gw pikir, blog ini udah hampir sama kaya jelangkung; datang tak di undang pulang tak di antar...

Well, can't agree more with Syl'v on her blog.. FINALLY THE IDIOCY IS OVER! Woohoooo...!

Six Was Nine

Does anyone remember this song? This is from 1993 (or '94..??), and still have this track on my playlist! I think it was in hitlist in MTV back then.. but it was somehow forgotten.
All and all, this band (good fashion or not), still blows any f*****g band around these days!!!
Six was nine was awsome!

"oooh...I don't want take my best friend's baby...but she's drop dead beautiful.."

Kambuh Mood2-an

....Dan si penyakit kambuhan saya itu pun dateng lagi . Walopun ini bukan penyakit fatal dan mematikan seperti kanker stadium 5 ato rabies , tapi tetaaaaap.. ini bisa FATAL di dunia persilatan fashion

Penyakit apakah gerangan..?

Symptomnya coba cek di sini

Morning Post

because i have nothing clever to post in this early morning (yeah it's 630am and i'm wide awake, go on-line, do this stupid blogging), i recommend you go here to read Dika's funny post about his daily life.
You will laugh.. and you might learn a thing or two as well...or maybe not.
awsome. and have a great day folks!

ps: i've read all of his books, and i can't help my self from laughing like a mad cow

Cogito Ergo Sum

I think therefore I'm a thinker...


First and foremost, this writing is hard to understand. It contains my dreams and my ways of thinking. As a whole, i call it "my way of life". It'll be a lil difficult and confusing to write and it's hard to understand by the readers, since i won't write in clearly about what i thought, and what my dreams are. But what the heck.. this is my blog, I can write everything i want.


For me, there are two ways of making a good living. One is the result of hard work, and the other is the result of the imagination, which requires works too, of course. It is a fact that labor and thrift produce a competence, but fortune, in sense of wealth, is the reward of something that hasn't been thought of before.


My aim is to establish my own "successful-way" which is the result from my imagination. But, as far as i concerned, I have a tendency to waste a lot of my energy in worry and anticipation. Including my dreams. And the (i don't whether this is a good or bad) thing is, the goal of my planning and doing is to find the true meaning in life. Well, a peace of mind, of course. However, I know that the sum of all the possessions i have now, do not necessarily add up to Peace of mind, but, i'm sure it can, if i devote myself to real accomplishment of self rather than doing-unimportant-neurotic-combat.


Some of my friends say that I'm too conscious of success, and some say what a lame dreams. Well, I am NOT. My reason of doing and achieving all of my dreams are not the sole of objective in making money. I enjoy teaching and helping people, I would like to have a well-to-do home for my family, i like to originate something.. and the last but not least I don't really worry about the reward. My contribution will be the measure of my reward and success.


But once again, I HAVE A TENDENCY TO WASTE A LOT OF MY ENERGY IN WORRY, which leads me to be a daydreamer and NEVER start achieve it.


Tonight, I talked to my dad about my way of life and he said: "success comes to those who become success-conscious... and I see this success-conscious in you. But if you don't aim at an object, how the heck on earth do you think you can get it??"

At some point, i got his point.


in conclusion, may i say that NEGATIVENESS very often unknowingly creeps up upon us.. and it helps occasionally to STOP all thoughts.
