manneken pis

or called as little man pee . i noticed this little man through Andrea Hirata's story in Edensor . he said that it's a must see. so when i was in belgium, my friends took me there. when we arrived in Brussels, there was a huge crowd over the corner of one street and they were looking above. i still can't see what they were looking. and then... after a few steps more... TARAAA... there he was, the little man which surprised me bcoz he was indeed very little hahaha... i adore him because with his little body he can make a big fortune for Brussels :-) anyway, the legends of why this little man peed came from different version. one said, he peed during a war to make his opponent lost and the other said that he urinated on a burning explosive charges to avoid Brussels from high flames. if you visit the Museum of Brussels, u will find there various collections of Manneken Pis wearing different clothes from all over the world and from all job profession. whatever he wears, he...

nyam nyam

akhirnya kembali ke kantor lagi. walau datang agak siang karena diminta tolong nemenin tamu kamboja dan laos ke airport. karena pake rental car, sebenernya gw ga bertugas apa2 malah kebeneran jadi bisa ke jakarta gratis hehehe... (semangat jiwa oportunis kaya gini nih) tamu2 asean itu masuk mobil langsung baca Jakarta Post aja loh... duh, dalam hati gw, kenapa ga pada tidur aja, kan gw mau tidur juga (sita tea... pelor) . aha! untung gw bawa buku juga, judulnya keren "Belajar dari Cina "... ini sebenernya bukan 100% keinginan pribadi, pertama2 karena buat menuhin tugas kuliah Bisnis Internasional yang mana gw harus presentasiin kegiatan Foreign Direct Investment antara Cina dan India. dan sejarah Cina gw dapet dari buku ini. akhirnya gw bacalah tuh buku. namun apa daya kantuk tlah sampai. gw menyerah, dan meninggalkan mereka (si tamu2 asean dan supir) ke alam mimpi . hehehe... tapi mimpinya harus dicut dulu, karena si supir tenyata saingannya supir angkot. uedaan nyupirnya...

hari ini

hari yang cukup melelahkan... dua hari ini kita ada workshop di bogor, my lovely hometown (ampe dibold nih) well, tetep cape sih... especially gw rasanya bertanggung jawab dengan para tamu asean dan jepang yang datang itu. yah walau awal2 pengen cepet pulang karena tugas kuliah udah menumpuk (lagi), gw menghabiskan 2 hari sampe malam menjamu tamu2. hari pertama gw ikutan survey rumah makan buat welcoming dinner lalu anterin belanja ke Katulampa . malemnya kita makan di Gili2 Restaurant , makanannya standard, tapi suasananya bagus. too bad they diminished the paddy field, with that the scenery looks even more beautiful. lalu hari kedua, gw anterin ibu2 kantor makan di bumbu desa . sorenya sama tamu2 pergi ke puncak . buat gw yg already so many times going there (dari sejak jaman orientasi smp, jalan2 atau cuma nongkrong doang, u name it) , ini jadi waktu buat gw bisa tidur bentar di bus hehehe... malemnya balik lagi ke bogor, nemenin mereka blanja blanji di FO dan pangrango plaza . unt...

malam minggu kusendiri

karena malem minggu lagi sendirian , bingung mau ngapain (sebenernya males ngapa2in sih hehe..).. stok dvd ga ada yg baru, novel ada sih tapi masih belum mood buka buku (secara kemaren baru ngeringkas 12 bab buku buat kuliah), nonton TV isinya sinetron semua akhirnya ngenet deh..nyoba upload foto akhirnya :-) ini fotoku waktu di eiffel. wah alhamdulillah ga nyangka bisa liat eiffel jg. yg dulu katanya tom cruise ngelamar katie holmes di puncaknya. this was taken on the 2nd night of my stay in Paris. pertama liat aslinya waktu lagi di taksi siang2. dalam hati mikir hmm.. koq kaya menara radio biasa ya? hehehe... tp berbeda banget klo udah malem. eiffel is very pretty at night ..aura keindahannya dan kemegahannya bagai menyelimuti seluruh paris (hiperbola but true). apalagi setiap sejam sekali menara paling romantis itu mengeluarkan cahaya2 lampu kelap kelip di sekujur tubuhnya. indaah... sekali, either u take a look in a distance or just beneath her. alhamdulillah. waktu jalan di bawah...

you

You dont have to say you love me Just be close at hand You dont have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me.. I cant help but love you [by dusty springfield ; i just love this part of the song]

feeling sleepy

aduh... ngantuk banget nih... gini nih sindrom abis makan siang. rencana selesai laporan hari ini kayanya musti kepending lagi karena rencananya siang ini kantor mau dipadamin listriknya (halah alesan) doooh males banget nihhh ayo ayo kembali ke laporan... :-)

kembali

i was still in Belgium when i wrote my last blog. alhamdulillah setelah dari Paris buat training seminggu, my boss malah nyuruh diriku untuk extend beberapa hari liat kota lain di Eropa (thanks Pak! hehehe)... bener juga kapan lagi... akhirnya mutusin buat pergi ke Belgia, ke tempat temen gw , sekalian emang sebelumnya kita janji ketemu di Paris. it was a nice coincidence, karena dia kebeneran liburan ke paris juga. too many stories about Paris and Belgium , i dont know where to start. also a short transit in Dubai can make a story too. one at a time deh... tapi yg pasti sekarang ngerjain laporan dulu hehehe... beres2 di kantor, laporan dan ngejer ketinggalan kuliah, and then... lets start dreaming again ;-)

it comes true

i once said in my post , i was stepping closer to one of my dream. to see Paris with my own eyes. and when i keep dreaming, it was too late... i was already there... :-) terima kasih Allah untuk siraman maha sayangmu... kurasakan tiada henti alhamdulillah...alhamdulillah...

Dispereetniet

**notes** all you have to do is keep on dreaming, dispereetniet * , jangan kehilangan harapan. dan berikhtiar, dan berdoa, tetap semangat . these are the words that always said to me by my families, close friends, Andrea Hirata, Fira Basuki, Dhonny Dirgantoro, Maulana M. Syuhada, other inspiring people and off course, dia . sometimes when i think i was at the lowest point of my life, it's just a matter of how we think and positioned our view . alhamdulillah, karena ijin Allah, saya dapat meraih satu dari mimpi saya besok. see you around! :-D * taken from the book "Rahasia Meede".
