Hartono Mall: Gramedia Expo

Image
Dimana mana yang namanya akhir minggu itu rame, lebih lebih mall, cari parkir kalo nggak pake modal keburuntangan pasti susah dan level sabarnya harus dinaikin. Wajar aja sih ya, akhir minggu kan hampir 100% orang libur, jadi ya sudah sewajarnya semua kendaraan pada keluar kejalan, refresing kalo orang kita bilang. Hari ini ( red. Sunday) aku berdua pergi sama temenku makan siang di daerah Prawirotaman, habis makan iseng-iseng kita jalan ke Hartono Mall, disana awalnya cuma pengen beli Thai Tea sama muter muter di toko buku aja, tapi nggak ada toko buku disana (or maybe not finished yet? idk), tapi kita malah nemu Gramedia Expo. Awalnya pas liat keterangan harga mulai Rp 5000 aku udah negatif thinking kalo bukunya pasti yang nggak jelas gitu, soalnya kalo sale yang diadain didepan Gramedia Kota Baru itu jarang nemu buku yang aku suka. Tapi baru jalan 5 langkah aja (beneran 5 langkah) aku nemu buku yang aku cari dari dulu, my my, dan harganya cuma Rp 10.000, seneng jungkir balik la

I Love Free Stuff, Who Doesn't?

Everybody love free stuff, at least as far as I know. There might be people who doesn't love free stuff though, there are so many people with different set of mind in this world. In Indonesia,  when there is a sign that said "FREE SOMETHING/SOMETHING" in a store or restaurant or movie theater, guarantee that place will turn into a sea of people I think I might be exaggerating a little here . And maybe because I'm Indonesian, I love free, half-price, discount and sale stuff. One thing that my friends know is that I love free paid apps. I personally enjoy rooting or jailbreaking my phone. Whether it's an iPhone, Android or iPod, I always plug it in my laptop and "modify" them, especially with apple devices, to me jailbreaking an apple device is a must. I also love .apk, if you're an Android user I really hope that you know about that, but if you're not, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!! .apk is a blessing to us Android users, .apk is my money sav

Someone says "Move on"

Here in Indonesia, the word "move on" is mostly (or even only) being used as a term in a relationship between men and women. When you break up with your boy/girlfriend, I can guarantee 100% that someone is going to tell you to move on from him/her, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just a way you're friend comforting you. What matter is that the word "move on" is used only in a small scale of life, here in Indonesia. While the truth is the word "move on" can cover so much more than a break up. For example, you fail in a test, you have a grudge with someone, you're in despair because someone died and so on and so on. Of course people who English is their mother tongue know about this, but not here. The word "move on" mean to get on with your life; pick your self up and do something with your life; in term of a relationship it mean forget about him/her and you can find someone else meh . But one thing you need to make s

My Favorite Streaming Sites

Watching movie is one of my favorite thing to do if I want to just kill some time, I might as well can call it a hobby. Tapi menurutku pribadi, punya hobi nonton film itu kind of embarrassing, kenapa? karna kalo bilang hobi mu itu nonton film, itu tu rasanya kaya kamu bilang hobi mu itu cuma males-malesan, well at least itu kalo deskripsi "hobi nonton film" mu itu sama kaya aku. "Hobi nonton film" deskripsian ku itu nonton film online, alias streaming. See, hobi nonton film ku itu cuma kaya males-malesan dikamar kan? makanya aku nggak menyatakan itu sebagai hobi official ku. Aku bukan tipe yang suka banget nonton dibioskop, aku kebioskop cuma kalo ada film yang bener-bener aku suka, film yang aku damba-dambakan selama berbulan-bulan atau bahkan tahun-tahunan. Selain nonton film, aku juga suka nonton serial TV, rata-rata serial TV yang aku suka itu dari U.S, Canada dan tentunya korea. Kalo film aku lebih open, bisa dari negara mana aja asal kualitasnya diakui b

My 2016 Resolution

In the beginning of 2016, I don't really have any resolution. But now, I found something that can change my life My 2016 resolution is MINIMALISM The reason why I want to be a minimalist is because right now, my life is a mess, there is almost nothing in my life that is neat or organized. So by becoming a minimalist, I hope my life will be more organized, I hope that my schedule/my time spending is on point, nothing is a waste, that's what I want. So hopefully, I can apply minimalism into my life at the end of this year, well maybe not 100% but at least minimalism will influence my daily life by 50% and above.

OST C20 Vitamin C Serum

Kalo kamu penggemar make-up dan skincare korea dan suka nontonin youtuber yang ngeriew produk-produk itu, kamu pasti udah familier dengan skincare yang satu ini, OST C20 Vitamin C Serum. Skincare ini best seller di korea, dan di Indonesia produk ini udah mulai terkenal, bisa diliat dari banyaknya online shop yang jual produk ini. Kalo kamu belum pernah tau atau belum pernah nyobain produk skincare ini, simak lah review singkat dariku ini. Karna ini serum, jadi seharusnya skincare ini dipake setelah cuci muka-toner-essence baru habis itu baru serum, tapi karna aku nggak make toner sama essence, habis cuci muka langsung pake serum ini aku.  Konsistensi serum ini kayak cairan kental, lebih kental dari essence. Waktu make produk ini pertama kali kamu bakal ngerasi "clekit-clekit" gitu, tapi nggak nyampe berasa sakit kok, cuma kaya kesemutan dimuka gitu, setelah itu untuk hari ke-2 danseterusnya udah nggak berasa lagi. Untuk aku pribadi, aku nyoba serum in

Sudut pandang orang ke- .. ?

Hampir semua buku karangan penulis lokal yang aku baca selalu dari sudut pandang orang ketiga, jarang banget aku baca yang dari sudut pandang orang kesatu. Padahal kalo menurutku sudut pandang orang kesatu itu lebih bisa bikin pembacanya itu "soaked into the story ", jadi berasa kita "pembaca" itu ada dalam cerita, it's like we experience all the thing that happen in the book first hand . Sering kali aku kalo baca buku yang pake sudut pandang orang kesatu, berasa aku itu main character nya dibuku itu, berasa aku hidup didunia fantasi buatan para penulis-penulis hebat itu, dan kita bisa bener-bener kaget kalo ada twist dalam cerita bukunya, because I only know what the main character know . Udah cuma mau nulis gitu aja. Oh iya, kalo ada rekomendasi buku bagus, boleh lho aku dibagi :)

The Heritage Hotel

Last Sunday I got a chance to go to Batu Malang, it was just a super short holiday, my cousin had a wedding in Surabaya, so why not just go to Malang right? it's only 3 hours away from Surabaya. There I stayed in Kartika Wijaya Batu Heritage Hotel , it claim to be a 4 star hotel, to be honest there are better equipped hotel out there than this supposed to be a 4 star hotel, my room does not have AC, and the other room we order, does not have AC dan masih make TV tabung. But honestly I really don't mind at all, because the hotel is beautiful, I love the building. The reason why I chose this Hotel was because of the name, the "Heritage Hotel", it describe a classic hotel right? and I was right, the hotel was build in 1986, the front building and theblobby is gorgeous so does the front desk, it has a beautiful glass map of Java Island, it looks so old, but unfortunately I didn't had a change to take a picture of it. They don't have an elevator becau

cerpen : Dikira BOTAK !

Tahun 2012 lalu aku ikut program summer school di Korea, di Inha University. Karna Inha Univ lokasinya di Incheon, jadi kalo mau ke Seoul mesti naik kereta (KRL). Di Korea stasiun kereta nya kebanyakan ada dibawah tanah, underground, terus nanti ada underground market nya juga, tp kebanyakan barang2 produk cina gitu yg dijua kayak baju, tas, dll gitu, nggak jauh beda lah sama di Indonesia. Tahun 2012, summer di Korea bertepatan dengan bulan Ramadhan, so... yea.. it was hot and I was fasting and I have to seize every single day I spent in Korea. Meskipin panas dan haus, aku sama temen2 yg lain tetep harus jalan2, harus ! :D Then one day, Aku baru keluar dari stasiun underground, lagi jalan, mau keluar ke... ke atas lah pokoknya, waktu itu aku jalan sama temen2 ku, terus tiba2 ada ibu2 nyamperin aku, ngomong pake bahasa korea, untungnya aku paham dikit2 sama bahasa korea, this is basicaly what she said to me: Ahjumma  : Kenapa kamu pake ini? (sambil megang kerudung ku) Aku     

Winter

Indonesia only have 2 season, Summer season which is hot, and Rainy season, which is wet and still hot, so yea basically Indonesia is hot through out the whole year. That's why we love you, because you are so hot, so hot ;D I've live in a tropical country, Indonesia, my whole life, never have I ever felt snow, but my favorite season is in fact Winter, it's always have been Winter. I've heard many negatif effect what winter can cause, it's all basically implying that winter is not as beautiful as you imagine. I believe that, I really do, but I still love winter. The reason why I love winter is just so simple, it might actually sound a bit absurd, in winter time people are trying all they can to cover their body, from head to toe, and it's the same as what we Muslim do, well in this case we cover our aurah . To me it's just seem so beautiful, how all people wheter Muslim or non Muslim are trying to cover up their body as much as possible, from head to to

Spicy Korean Cup Noodle

Image
Here I'll try to review about a cup noodle which in 2014, listed as the 3th spiciest instant noodle by this website . In this review, there won't be any hyperbolic review, just plain honest. This one particular product is like the "G-Dragon" in its own world ( I'm pretty sure that you are a k-pop fan if you google this cup noodle, so you must know who G-Dragon is, right? ), it's like everyone know about this product, everyone is interested about this product and everyone want to try this product even just a mouthful of it. So, without further ado, here it is, my plain honest review. The name of this product is "something_something_written_in_Hangul" which basically mean Hot Chicken Fried Noodle. the name of the product basically just sum it all, don't you think so? O and it also claim to be the top 7 ramen in Korea, the ramen that people want to eat most. at least that's what it said in there. These are the i
