Jadi, saya memiliki beberapa rencana untuk bulan depan. Tapi sayangnya saya harus membuat rencana itu mengerucut. Satu-satunya alasan yang paling masuk akal adalah I don't have any money left (untuk bulan ini). Saya punya 2 kartu kredit tapi sayangnya salah satunya sudah dimatikan (atau apalah istilahnya) karena masalah bunga. Kurasa ini salah satu resiko punya orang tua lulusan fakultas ekonomi. Terlalu perhitungan. Jadi kartu kredit yang tertinggal adalah yang dari sebuah bank swasta dimana jumlah tabungan disitu tidak banyak (maklumlah kemarin pun dapatnya dari beasiswa jadi uang lebih banyak disetor ke tabungan yang pertama).

Menurutku, rencanaku ini udah cukup mengerucut jadi kujelaskan saja. Pertama, saya ingin les brevet (kursus pajak). Bos cowok saya dari dulu, sebelum saya masuk kuliah sudah ngasih tahu kalau saya harus ngambil kursus ini. Kedua, saya ingin beli parfum baru. Pasti tahu kan kalau harga parfum itu selangit. Apalagi saya beli parfum baru paling cepat setahun sekali, paling lama 2-3 tahun. Jadi saya mau ngumpulin uang (secara ini pertama kalinya beli parfum, biasanya diberi sebagai buah tangan). Ketiga, saya ingin menabung untuk membeli tiket pesawat & liburan (jadi gila liburan). Menurut saya rencana ketiga ini agak sulit terealisasi. Kata "menabung" adalah kata tersulit dalam hidup mahasiswa. Terlalu banyak biaya tak terduga.

Tapi ini dia masalahnya, jika rencana pertama terealisasi maka akan muncul biaya baru, bensin motor. Biasanya aku ngisi seminggu sekali dengan biaya sepuluh ribu sampai empat belas ribu. Dan biasanya saya menggunakan motor hanya untuk ke kampus. Memang terkadang kalau jalan sama teman naik motor juga tapi itu jarang. 

Sebetulnya saya punya rencana lainnya yang sulit untuk dikerucutkan. Saya ingin belajar piano. Waktu itu, saat kelas 2 SMA, mama sudah manggil guru les piano ke rumah. Tapi (selalu ada tapi) si bapak aka bos cowok gak ngasih. Alasannya belajar dulu untuk SNMPTN. Di lubuk hatiku yang paling dalam, saya ingin belajar piano (enggak tahu mengapa kalimat ini lebay sekali). Saya bisa bermain piano tapi saya memainkannya bukan dengan membaca not. Saya hanya mendengar lagu aslinya dan memainkannya dengan mengingat nada-nada lagu tersebut. Memang ada perbedaan sedikit tapi setidaknya saya bisa memainkan sebuah lagu.

Rasanya cara berpikir saya sudah berubah. Biasanya saya nggak terlalu memikirkan soal uang. Bukan berarti saya anak konglomerat hanya saja saya tidak berpikir menggunakannya seBAIK mungkin. Sekarang saya harus menggunakannya sebijaksana mungkin kalau bisa ada sisanya. Walaupun tidak pernah saya lakukan, dulu setiap jalan sama teman dan ada seorang teman lagi yang tidak bisa ikut karena tidak punya uang pasti teman yang lain pada bilang "sudahlah... pakai saja uangku dulu." Saya tidak pernah seperti itu tapi saya pernah berpikir itu hal yang menyenangkan.

Entah ini efek menjadi 18 tahun atau efek saya jurusan akuntansi atau efek pernah menjadi "gelandangan" sehari (don't ask) atau efek yang lainnya, overall aku senang pemikiranku berubah.

2nd Unpredictable Vacation

So, two days ago I got back from my hideous holiday. Why 'hideous'? I'll tell you right away just follow the story line.

February 9, 2012

My flight at 11.30 AM. We (mom, me, and my brother) left home at 10 AM and arrived at the airport around 11 AM. We were late and that was really humiliated. I mean... oh I won't tell you. Just forget it. After checked-in, we went to the waiting room. We didn't wait too long until our flight number was called. Said adieu to mom and uncle.

Around 1 PM (Penang 1 hour faster than Medan, although I don't think so) we landed at Penang International Airport. We waited to be pick up by Pak James, a driver from hospital. Oh ya, I forgot to tell you, we heading to Penang cause my aunt and my brother need to be checked. So the person in the hospital sent us a driver to pick us up as usually. We waited so long and the driver didn't answer the call. So we went to the hospital by taxi. I have to admit, Penang is a very presentable city. It's really contrast to Medan.

We arrived in the hospital and my aunt went to register something (I don't know what it is). Then she called my brother to join her. I, who left alone, trying to find anything which interesting. So I decided to see Penang map and memorized it. Too bad, navigation from phone can not be used because of the sim card. So after all the register and administration matters are done, we went to the doctor room. The nurses told us that my brother had to do surgery on his right hand. That was really funny. He was so scared and his face was getting pale and his palm became sweaty.

After that, one of the nurse who waited in that room aka Miss Vicky, brought us to another hospital (to do the operation). We talked so much and honestly, I didn't get her words. Fyi, she talked with English mix with Malayan mix with Hokkian accent. I pretended to be silent but who else response her? My aunt doesn't know English and my brother... he was too scared that he couldn't say a word *sigh*

The operation had done around 6.30 PM. The doctor was professional and pretty funny. I wish all the doctors in Medan act like that so we don't have to spend our money to this country. My brother was okay and he didn't feel any pain (you know you're in drug). Miss Vicky brought us back to the hospital. We met Pak James there and he would take us to the nearest inn (no room left in the hospital). We heading to Seri Malaysia. Imho, the charge was pretty cheap, about RM 125/night (include breakfast, free wi-fi, channel tv, etc). We stayed there for 2 nights.

February 10, 2012

This morning was perfect! Breakfast good, wi-fi outstanding. At 9 PM auntie got to go to hospital. Pak James picked her up. So, me and my brother back to our room and using wi-fi like a boss. We had sandwich, french fries, and vegetable soup for lunch. 4 PM auntie back and we went to the bus station to find ticket to go to Singapore. On the way to bus station, I left our snacks in the taxi. So I called the taxi station which is located at Sunshine Plaza and we went there and thanked God, I wouldn't be famish tonight.

February 11, 2012

Breakfast at 8 AM and Pak James picked us up at 8.30 AM. Bus came around 9.30 AM and said adieu to Penang. At first, we three were the only passengers. Really like a boss. That was my first time traveling country by a bus. We stopped for toilet and lunch. As the bus went by, no more empty seats. 

When we arrived at the last bus station in the border areas, we had to get out of the bus and bring our passport to be checked. Afterwards, we went to toilet then back to the bus and... I lost my brother. So frustrating. The driver told us to find it right away cause the other passenger were waiting. Me and my aunt went to the toilet, maybe he had a belly ache so that he stay so long there but we were wrong. He wasn't there. The co-driver helped us to find my brother and zero. Then he said to us "maybe you brother is being arrested for smoking or doing anything else." I know he wouldn't do that. I know him 100%, he doesn't smoking. But what if someone gives him a drug or something like that. You know in that situation I don't know where to go and what to do. Should I just left the bus and find my brother or should I just left him. My aunt was really shocked when the co-driver told us his thought.

Then, the universe was so kind to us. My brother back and we were so relief. We asked him what happen and he told us that he was arrested for taking a picture in the kingdom areas. So... not that smoking thingy :)

We arrived in Singapore at 9 PM and we heading to Hotel 81. Sweet baby Jesus! $189/night without breakfast, wi-fi, or else. I've ever read somewhere that Singapore hotels didn't provide other facilities. They just offer a place to lay your fatigue body. I don't want to live on this land anymore. We would got our room at 10 PM we have to WAIT. So, we left our bags in the receptionist room and went out to money changer. We didn't take a bus, taxi, or MRT. We walked. Singapore's sphere in the evening was elegant. Unfortunately, this city was too quiet. You only found a lot of humans in the restaurant or dinner place. Singapore was such a great country.

February 12, 2012

This morning was suck. Waking up to early, packing too fast, breakfast too disgusting. We have to get out from this city quickly. I didn't find any interest here. I'm bored. We booked tickets to go to KL at 12.30 PM. I know may some of you will say "why don't you go to universal studio?" or "what about the shopping center? I heard that vivo city is good."

Thanked God, we were on the bus heading to KL. I love KL. People were friendly and nice. We spent our first night in Hotel Tai Ichi (RM 177/night, family deluxe room). Perfect. We dinner at Pakistan restaurant. My brother loved it but a big big no to my aunt. Me and my brother couldn't sleep. So we watched Insidious, FF5, Annoying Orange and playing angry birds. That was fun. My aunt couldn't sleep too because we were too noisy. Around 1 AM, we're off  to bed.

February 13, 2012

Peacefully. Breakfast at Dragon... I forgot what dragon but it's Chinese Restaurant located behind our hotel. Afterwards, we looked for new hotel and we got two on the Pudu Road. We checked out from Tai Ichi and checked in to Golden Palace (RM 128/night) free wi-fi, no breakfast. TIPS: If you go to KL and want to find a cheap hotel, go to Pudu road. Second strategic location after Bukit Bintang road.

At noon, we lunch in Chinese stand (similiar to Kedai Pangsit). Then we went to Berjaya Times Square. Next, we walked to KL Tower. We didn't go in, the tickets too expensive (RM 45/person). Afterward, firstly we want to go to Pavilion, then the taxi driver aka Mafi told us Pavilion is the expensive shopping center which is sell branded things. Of course we cancelled our way to Pavilion, so we heading to Petronas Twin Tower. Not that we don't have enough money, we just want to use it wisely. Shopping isn't a good idea right now. Yes, we're holiday but in Medan you'll able to buy branded things too. So... be wise.

Mafi told my brother that he willing to take us to the LCCT the day after tomorrow and it will cost RM 90. Enticement accepted. Twin towers, we're finally meet! Dinner in the same place when we lunch. Then ended this day.

Pabrik Coklat

February 14, 2012 (forever alone days)

Breakfast in KFC. Taste so good and match with auntie's stomach lol. Checked in at V'la Garden (RM 150/night include breakfast, wi-fi). Then we rested in Golden Palace (we haven't check out). At 11.45 AM we went to V'la Garden and rested again.

At noon, my aunt and I went to Berjaya Times Square again. We bought clothes, accessories, and donuts! I couldn't find J.co donuts :( Back to the hotel and went out for dinner. After that, spent the rest of the day in BB Plaza.

February 15, 2012

I woke up late. After breakfast, I slept again. I feel so tired. At 10 AM, Mafi came to pick us and we went to LCCT. We back to Medan by AirAsia. That was my first time fly with AirAsia. I'm so paranoid.

After all, I enjoy my holiday. If I tell you the story directly, I bet you will laugh. I'm so tired for typing this much. So, see you. I promise I'll post regularly.

Passport

Jadi hari ini aku pergi ke imigrasi untuk mengurus paspor. Aku pilih hari jumat karena aku udah daftar online dan memilih hari ini hahaha krik. Sebetulnya karena hari ini kuliah mulai jam tengah 11, jadi aku bisa berurusan dengan kantor imigrasi. Sampai di sana sekitar jam 8 kurang 20 dan aku langsung antri.Ternyata eh ternyata ktp musti difotokopi besar. Terpaksa cabut dari antrian dan langsung gedor-gedor pintu fotokopi. Begitu selesai ngantri lagi untungnya datang pagi jadi cuman beda dikit dengan antrian yang pertama. Saat giliranku tiba, petugasnya langsung nganterin berkasku ke loket untuk mengisi online. Wahh... enak banget ga musti nunggu lama. Ternyata loket online & manual itu berbeda. Berhubung yang mendaftar online cuma 1 orang jadi jalanan saya lempeng ga perlu berebut kaya berebut sembako atau BLT.

Setelah berkas siap diurus, mbak-mbak yang pakai jilbab & baju hijau lumut itu nyuruh aku nunggu untuk pembayaran & pemotretan, ehem maksudku foto. Katanya nanti namaku dipanggil.dan aku merasa aneh aja perasaan daritadi yang dipanggil itu nomor tapi ini kenapa malah nama -,-' ya sudahlah... karena saking galaunya aku bolak-balik ke kasir untuk nanya beneran nunggu sampai jam 10 apa nggak. dan petugasnya bilang "iya, sabar ya mbak. kalo ga mbak sarapan dulu aja.." wth... aku mau kuliah tahu! jam 10.30 grrrrr. setelah tiap 20 menit aku bolak balik ke loket dan aku rasa mbak-mbak itu udah enek liat mukaku, akupun duduk diam di bangku ruang II.

Lalu ketemu ibu-ibu pakai jilbab bunga dan baju putih. Aku manggilnya ibu tapi dia nyuruh manggil kakak ==a. Jadi kami cerita-cerita. Entah apalah kami ceritain aku pun lupa. Soalnya dia yang paling banyak cerita. Sedangkan aku, badanku masih disitu tapi rohku entah kemana melayang gegara takut telat kuliah. Kakak itu asik bicara ga tahu teman bicaranya males nanggepinnya. Ternyata dia itu pns dan dia lagi nunggu untuk bayar ke kasir terus foto & wawancara. Dia cerita beberapa waktu lalu dia ga jadi dinas ke luar negeri gegara ga punya paspor. jadinya dia nyuruh anak buahnya yang kesana. No comment. Kalo lo bos, ya lo pake calo aja ngurus paspor (don't try this!).

Panik melanda, si kakak atau ibu ini malah cerita tentang teman fesbuknya. Setan... ini ibu gaul banget. Jadi dia punya teman febuk orang luar negeri, eumm aku lupa dari negara mana yang pasti dari negara asia barat. kata beliau temannya itu jenderal besar di negara asia barat tersebut. Mereka udah message-an kurang lebih 3 bulan. Dan beberapa minggu lalu (aku lihat tanggal 15 desember 2011) si jenderal besar ini ngajak nikah. dafuq. ini cerita makin seru aja. Terus ibu ini bilang "dek, kamu tahu ga caranya supaya kita bisa lihat profilnya lagi? soalnya profilnya itu hilang, namanya aja berubah jadi 'facebook user'. Udah kakak cari di bing, google, emailnya juga ga nemu tapi foto-fotonya dapat." Aku sih cuman jawab ooh aja. lalu kakak atau ibu itu lanjut cerita "gara-gara kakak takut, kakak hapusin lah message-nya, nanti ketahuan suami kakak bahaya kan?! hahahahaha...." buset dah. kenapa topik yang dibicarakan harus ini. karena lama-lama pembicaraan ini menggangguku yang masih terlalu muda untuk urusan nikah dan suami, aku permisi sebentar karena udah jam 10 dan aku mau menagih janji mbak-mbak penjaga loket online yang baru aku sadar saat pulang kalau mbak-mbak itu wajahnya terpampang di depan pintu masuk (biasa iklan lokal untuk menghimbau masyaraat yang awam kayak saya). Katanya tunggu bentar lagi buset dah. Ternyata selama nunggu akui ketemu sama della, teman sejurusan cuma beda beberapa kelas. Kita cerita-cerita dan aku ceritain ibu atau kakak aneh tadi. Gila bener... Terakhir della bilang kalau hari ini kita ga ada kelas. syukurlah... benar-benar good timing!

Setelah nunggu kurang lebih 5 menit, mbak-mbak itu manggil namaku dan nyuruh ke kasir untuk bayar terus foto. Ya udah setelah ke kasir, aku nunggu untuk foto. Sialnyaaaaaaaa, nomorku belum terpanggil saat jarum jam menunjukkan waktu istirahat. Parahnya kalau hari jumat istirahatnya 2 jam! 2 JAM!!! jadi bangkelah aku bentar lagi. Akhirnya aku nelpon dian&delwi untuk ngajak makan siang bareng. Nyesel juga sih, tadi mereka ngajak terus aku nolak gegara aku pikir sempat. ternyata aku miss-calculated. Deal, jam tengah 1 di Nelayan at Sun plaza. Sialnyaaaaa kami makan siang di nelayan pula yang artinya harus sabar menunggu. Satu hari ini aku habiskan waktuku untuk antri. Wah ternyata aku masyarakat yang baik :)

Setelah meja untuk kita udah tersedia, kita langsung pesan makanan dan mengambil semua dim sum yang ditawarkan lalu melahapnya dengan membabi buta. sampai akhirnya kami kenyang dan dian&delwi katanya mau nonton lagi. sayangnya urusan pasporku belum kelar aku harus ke kantor imigrasi. 

 oh my silly face :(

Pukul 2.10pm aku sampai di sana dan ketemu lagi sama tukang parkir sialan. Yah, tukang parkirnya baik sih cuman kegatelan iya. Tahu sih dia cuma bercandaan tapi lama-lama gua ketok juga kepala lu pake helm gua (just kidding ;p). lah kok pake gua -,-" Tinggal nunggu 5 menit dan nomorku dipanggil. Aku langsung foto terus diwawancarai. Pas ditanyain sama petugasnya mau pergi kemana dengan lemotnya aku jawab ke luar negeri. Lalu petugasnya bilang "ya iyalah dek jadi mau kemana lagi. kalo itupun saya tahu...." Yah udah tahu nanya hahahaha :D Overall ini pengalaman pertama ngurus passport, sendiri pula. Cukup menyenangkan bertemu banyak orang baru dan orang-orang barunya cukup baik. Passport bisa diambil tanggal 12 januari, hei ini termasuk cepat tahu. Aku ngurus hari jumat. Sabtu minggu libur. biasanya siap 3-4 hari. Anw, this is my first post in 2012. Say hi!

:B

My trip to Penang, kl, sg, is officially cancelled because I still have to face final exams aaaand..... my assignments already piled up like a mountains! Eco&business math, macro, business, and civil. I really don't have any patience to have February, be awesome please. Stay calm :D

Oh ya, walau cuma beberapa pingin share poto juga hahahaha, maklum narsis. I'm sexy and I know it -,-"

Cuma perasaanku aja, apa memang disini aku terlihat begitu kekanakan dan naomi begitu dewasa? ==a

MC, you're the best! and for JB tq, you're ruin all the mv. Ah yaaaa mo les bahasa inggrislah... mungkin aku bakal ikut angel. muahahahahaha.

The Warmest Gift

Hola! How's your holiday? Anw, I'll be in KL at the beginning of January (maybe). Why maybe? Yes, because uni starts on Tuesday, Jan 3rd, which means I have presentation on that day. I wish the lecturer gives the compensation. The song above is the newest release by SMTOWN. I just hear SNSD's btw. Im not a big fan of suju or any k-pop. It just SNSD cause I'm a S♥NE :>

Oh... I'm going to change the permission of this blog from 'anybody' to 'only blog authors'. Dunno when the time exactly. Goodbye.
