Short visitation holiday in Gang Lombok Semarang

Engineering faculty' final term done.. Me and my mate from Environmental Engineering make a dating! Err... May be its more suitable call as an adventure in unknown region in my city. What?? City? Yes! I never live in pecinan, so I don't know how the way to ride..
Its start when we want to search tool to make reusable paper. My mate wanna make it in the KKN village. She thought we can find it in Johar Market. Then we went to there. We can't find what we want, but a seller told us that a place in pecinan sell it. So we went to there. You know what? Street way in pecinan is complicated. Once we didn't see sign at the side of street, a policeman notice us...
Lucky me. He didn't give tilang letter. We search for the way until arrived at Gang Lombok. Parking motorcycle, then looking for the shop. But.. Someone said that nobody sell what we need.
Back to Gang Lombok to took motorcycle, I spend a little time to take a picture in front of a statue. Well, I thought its a statue of Sam Poo Kong, but my mate didn't think so. She said that its a statue of the temple beside. Anyway, in the river nearby, we found a big ship. Hmm.. Its should be one of the Imlek Festival' completion.
We had an advice to go to a place named Pagoda. But I haven't pray  Ashar yet. So, my mate brought us to Paragon City to find a pray place. Its so funny to know your purpose to go to a mall is to pray. While I was praying, she bought Breadtalk..
Trip was continued.. We went to pleburan to find a late-lunch-food: Adi's culinary!!! But when arrived, its close. They said long time close. So we decided to lunch in Ramen in front of Pelangi Resto. I forgot what's the name. But its ramen is delicious. I like it.
We closed our dating by Warkoshi' sushi. And... Went home!
Here is a new statue in Gang Lombok and ramen i ate..

Kuliah Kerja Lapangan to PLN P3JB

Before going to Bali, we went to PLN P3JB for Jawa and Bali. Come to Surabaya in the early morning and get off there. We come to Mess Kesehatan to take a bath and get some sleeps. But the plan didn't flow as we expected. In that 3 a.m, I can't continue sleeping since whole night I spend in the bus. Bathing in the early morning is a bad idea ever. Finish at second round, my friends being a grooming ladies. I surprised to know that. I just brought some of my makeup stuffs, like two way cake and lipstick. But I never expect they can be that really like lady, instead of engineering student. I look at how they professionally can do makeup more more better than I am. Actually I wanna continue sleep as well as there are some bed. But with that noisy condition, I bet it will be useless.

Time flew.. We're gathered to have breakfast. Some of us take photos in front of Mess Kesehatan. We continue going to PLN P3JB. PLN is Indonesian state corporation which held electrical distribution through some transformator. Why we choose PLN P3JB? Because it's controlling our electrical source in Java - Bali Island. Regional Control Center divided in RCC Cawang, RCC Cigereleng, RCC Ungaran, RCC Waru, dan RCC Bali.

We sit in the monitoring room. Then the presentation from PLN began.
- First they show how's the job there and environment they face
- Show how to maintain voltage in Jawa Bali and its mapping
- Question Answer time!
Some of my friends which take Power as the Study Program asking. I just listen and.. Take picture! Hehehe I love most of architecture here. PLN P3JB is neat and beautiful. Especially the monitoring room. The funny moment there was I see my friends didn't listen the presentation, they're bussy. Bussy sleeping!! Even my lovely lecturer was sleeping. For your information, I have took a picture of him. I know they're too tired sleeping in the bus.

When going back to bus, I have an opportunity to get picture of flower and painting there. But, it ruins since my friends want to join in the picture. When their photoshot done, they take me to go down. Pitty me.. Beautiful stuff inside this office, I wanna took picture of them. Hmm.. May be in other opportunity, I should come there again? As director of corporation which want to have collaboration with PLN, may be?

Kuliah Kerja Lapangan or Second Vacation Story to Bali!

Hey girls.. Finally after Final Test I have time to write again! This is it.. Kkl Story to Bali!
Actually I didnt enjoy Bali. Its because of difficulties looking for Masjid here. And.. Absolutely the sense of ' thousand gods'. I dont like it anymore..
First time I got there in the end of 2009. But I rather can enjoy the trip because of my chairmate whose cheer me up..
The worst fact that I should accept is... I got sick since stepping my feet there. Yeah, most of my friends go to beach in the night. But me? I just can sleep on the bed... Having influenza. Really dizzy time..
I ever slept alone in an empty bus because of ill. When woke up, nobody's around.. They're going to destination place.
But even I have so much troubles here.. I keep praying to Allah and say "subhanallah" because of the good scenery I saw. Place which I can see the highness of Allah here is.. Pandawa Beach, Legian Beach, Bedugul Lake. Not a great but its enough good to visit..

"People feel alone because of their own mindset. If they're remember Allah is near. Allah still beside. They're never worry everything will be happen."

Me: What's your name?
He: Yuya
Me: Your last name? (I heard japanese always have two word in their name)
He: My last name is Suzuki, like motorcycle here (pointing Honda Vario)
Me: Its not Suzuki! Its Honda! Suzuki is different one
Laughing each other. I didnt notice other passenger whose heard us.
2. He's from Toyota City whose traffic jam like Semarang
Me: We trapped in traffic jam right now. How about your country? You never get this before?
He: No, my city is toyota city, city of cars. People use cars, so the street's full of car.
Me: In japan, how people have cars? In this country, every person can has one car. For father, mother, son, daughter.
He: One family one car. Hey, you have a car?

4. Japanese culture vs Indonesian culture
Me: What experience you've got there?
He: Time is something important in my country, everyone should be discipline in time. But Indonesian always late and didn't discipline. When we has appoinment in that time, we should be on time.

Meet A Japanese

At july 2013, I met a japanese. Here is the story.
I wake up tirelessly in the morning. Deadline lies ahead. After bathing, I open my laptop doing tasks. Hours left. Unconsciously, I slept!!! Whoa!!! I have class in 30 minutes later ~
I prepare my self hurry and search public transportation. In the middle of journey, I saw a boy which search public transportation to Undip. Well, I guess he's a domestic tourist whom face like a Indonesian chinese ethnic. Nonsense. When arrived at end of public transportation way, he looked like look for something. I encourage my self to ask.
Me : "Mau kemana?"
He : "Undip Semarang" (foreign articulation)
Me : "Whoa~ You are a foreigner?"
He : "Yeah...... (i forgot what he said)"
Me : "What country you lived before?" (okay, its lame. I'm nervous and talk randomly)
He : "Do you mean 'Where are you come from?'"
Me : "Ah! Yeah!"
He : "I am from Toyota City, Japan"
Then... conversation begin. I speak English to a Japanese. Really bad english. Actually I thought he was from Singapore before. He tell me everything why he's in Indonesia and in this public transportation. I wonder.. How could a foreigner going somewhere without guidance from his housefam? Its like letting a chicken little to a forest without its mother..
"Remember a verse in Alquran which told us to protect a foreigner until they back to their country, even if they have different beliefs and religions with us."

Me : (writing address). What will you do? sending an invitation?
Her : Yeah
Me : whats invitation? You wanna be engaged?
Her : is it arrived?
Me : what? Your invitation? Hey, don't say you'll married soon..
Days gone. I'm wondering.. How could my best friend wanna engaged soon never told me. And... She's younger than me. 20 years old!
Some days, I got a texting from unknown number :

"You don't always know what the future come. Keep smiling to the world because future is and past time is far".
