Part 1: SPL on Holiday (Journey to Singkawang)

"There is no other journey can beat this one!!!", that is the words comes up in my mind.

2 days ago we were having  trip to Singkawang, a nice city in West Kalimantan. We spend around4-5 hours to there. It was cloudy and windy, the day was clear and lovely breeze blew up.This is not a common trip but absolutely a nice trip. So I will tell you what happen at the first time.
We were planning to gather in our English teacher's house at 7.30 a.m, but sadly I was late because I need to go to monastery. I was late, very late, I came at 8.15 am and looked like people were waiting for a long time. Eventually, we departed and locked the door with our bags. 

"How many of us will go? One, two three, seven, ten, plus me, eleven", said sir.

"What? 11 people in one car?", said Gerry.

"Come! come!", said sir.

We forced to get in and here comes up the position, 3 people in front (Yoanna and I, sir in driver's seat), 4 people in middle (Ciput, Hanny, SAW and Bella) and 4 people in back side (Gerry, Cokro and Edwin). It was sucked and of course not large enough, and yeah it was over loaded, very over loaded. But it's fine, even I am babbling to death and complain, there is no other way. When my teacher tried to activate the car, the machine did not work, then he tried and tried.

"Oh My God, Oh My God, we are dead", said sir.

By hearing that, sir asked us to get out of the car and asked the boys to push the car.

"If I know, I won't come. It is better to have my Innova!!!", complained Gerry.

Other boys did not complain and with hopeful eyes they pushed the car but it came up with no result. For the second time again and again sir tried to activate the car and boys were pushing the car.

As a girl, and with other girls, what should we do? I laughed of this incident, looking at the boys were pushing car is quite funny. Lols~ What I really remember is when Edwin and Cokro, they looked very hopeless and Edwin laughed and said it was his first experience.

Then.............................................

"Having an affair with the devil's wife"

Selain teknik-teknik maupun tatacara pengambilan gambar yang harus dimiliki oleh seorang kameramen ada hal lain yang harus di miliki yakni sense of art atau rasa seni, karena gambar yang di ambil oleh kameramen merupakan karya seni.
Setiap orang memungkinkan untuk menguasai teknik-teknik pengambilan gambar namun apabila tidak memiliki rasa seni atau keindahan maka hasil yang di dapatkanpun kurang maksimal.

Writer's Life Part 5: It's All About Pudding!

I want to cry aloud... :(

Yesterday my family and I had a feast, it was for the closing of Chinese New Year. Mom and grandma cooked a lot of food, so that I thought how cruel I was that I did not do anything for that special day. 

Passionate strawberry Pudding, made by: me of course

I was looking in the fridge, there are 2 boxes of strawberries, chocolate, milk and sea weed. It is a coincidence to buy strawberries, because it is really fresh when we buy, so it was in fridge at that time.

First, I thought I am going to juice it with milk so that it will be blended and easy to drink. But it was a supper, a feast, of course it should be a bad idea to drink strawberry milkshake. So, I decided to cook strawberry pudding. 

I was alone at that time, I dunno why I was so happy at that time, so I cook happily and with love cherishing. The reason I was happy is I was chatting with somebody the previous day, and it was a nice day. So, I woke up in the morning freshly, happily, peacefully.

I did it carefully, patiently, hopefully and tried to be perfect as well. I made it less sugar because my grandma doesn't like sweet things. I put strawberries carefully, cooked the chocolate slowly. So that I spent it for 2 hours. I made the strawberry jam, strawberry juice and mashed strawberry. EVERYTHING is perfect!

So taraaa! The pudding with three layers, chocolate, strawberry milk and mashed strawberry with strawberry sauce as topping. I put in the fridge for 15 minutes, when I cut it, it was a fail because it was not freezing all yet.

So wait for 2 hours more....

When I cut it, it is nice, beautiful, perfect!

I asked my family to eat, first spoon is for my daddy, daddy did not give me any comment, but he kept eating, I thought it was bad. But  my bro shouted aloud, "hey! high class taste, low class price!". I was surprised and tried a bit. OMG, it was heavenly delicious!

My grandma said this pudding is the best she ever eaten. Sweet, sour and soft. My mom said I can open a pudding shop, hahahaha~

I am so happy even until today, I won't ever forget this!!

What I am afraid of now is I can't cook happily anymore.

Sadly, I really hope I can cook it once more time.

Inu X Boku SS

Most of winter anime are great and fascinating! Inu X Boku SS (The Dog and I Secret Service), it has been released since 13 of January 2012. 

Hopefully, I recommend you to watch if you like supernatural anime.

Episode count: 12

Summary: Living in a rich and luxurious, Ririchiyo wants to improve herself and leave home. She arrived in the Maison de Ayakashi which is rumored as a haunted mansion. But the fact, it is the place with people who has supernatural blood gather includes Ririchiyo. The first day she arrives, a man, Miketsukami Soushi (actually a fox spirit) who declares himself as a secret service, he promises to protect her for entire of his life for Ririchiyo. Ririchiyo refuses and the man asks her to kill him either. Ririchiyo refuses and ask him to be his service agent as long as he likes.

Genre:
Supernatural, romance

My first impression:
From my first sight, I really like Soushi, he is... he is.. he is.. Hikz.. Innocent!!! He has got 2 colors of pupil, yellow and green. He will protect Ririchiyo until the entire of his life. He has got a blonde hair, tall body and nice gloves. Hahaha~ But Ririchiyo is very egoist, I do not really like her, she is selfish and sometimes unstable in emotion. But, that is why this story flows so amazing..

Soushi

The story flows so nice since beginning, it emphasizes more in romance. In the fourth episode, Ririchiyo argues with Shoushi and make Shoushi upset, but at last they get closer. I really want to watch until the last, hopefully you will like it.

Bertingkah Seperti Orang Gila Sesekali Itu Penting? Mengapa?

Bertingkah seperti orang gila sesekali itu penting? Mengapa? 

 

Dunia begitu indah, namun sayangnya masalah itu selalu datang, entah dari mana saja. Baik personal, bersama rekan kerja, keluarga maupun orang-orang yang bahkan tidak pernah Anda tahu. Bertingkah seperti orang gila adalah solusi yang cukup efektif, dengan gila-gilaan, otak akan lebih rileks dan menghindar dari beban pikiran yang hanya membuat Anda depresi dan frustasi.

Beban pikiran itu sesekali perlu dilupakan sekejap dan bahkan Anda bisa menemukan solusi apa yang harus Anda ambil dan gunakan. Tidak percaya? Penulis sudah berkali-kali melakukan hal demikian, memang berdampak aneh pada awal mula, mungkin orang-orang berpersepsi Anda sudah mulai menderita syndrome kegilaan, tapi terimalah saja awal mula itu. Bertingkah seperti orang gila bukan berarti Anda 100% meronta-ronta, memukul orang atau bahkan melukai diri sendiri loh ya? Cukup rileks, ngomong ngaur sedikit, dan lebih banyak joking lah. Kalau saya sih ditanya apa pasti jawabannya satu, “Ha??”. Lupakan semua yang kamu derita, anggap aja kayak reborn (dilahirkan kembali), emang gak gampang, pelan namun pasti Anda akan lihat hasilnya.

Caranya??

Cukup sehari aja Anda gila-gilaan. Berfikir simple dalam 1 hari, makan enak, lakukan kegiatan yang kamu suka. Besoknya ya kembali lagi ke masalah yang Anda hadapi dengan otak yang sudah di refresh. Nah, kalau begitu kan mudah sudah pemikiran kita. Rileks itu menstimulus otak kita menjadi lebih mudah memecahkan masalah. Gila-gilaan juga bisa Anda lakukan dengan shopping sesuka hati, nonton film komedi, gambar-gambar, nari-nari gak jelas di kamar dan berolahraga ria. Everything what you like!  Daripada Anda melampiaskan segala masalah dengan kekerasan atau bahkan merusak diri (ngedrugs lah, minum alcohol lah, bego itu) mending gila-gilaan.

Dear readers, Penulis cuma mau kasih tahu sesuatu nih...........

Hidup itu dibawa nyantai aja, teman. Ngeluh itu wajar, ada masalah itu wajar, ungkapin masalah dan beban pikiran itu lebih wajar lagi. Di balik semua itu, itulah yang namanya HIDUP. 

 *kenapa di larger font kata-kata di atas? Penulis cuma pengen para pembaca lebih menikmati hidup dan jangan pernah takut untuk ungkapin masalah. Masalah besar, sepele bahkan muncul tak terduga-duga itu mewarnai hidupmu.

I really love to share everything, and hopefully it works!

Thanks for reading JaNe~

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked

 Yesterday my friends and I watch “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked” movie. It was nice and quiet entertaining. First, actually we want to watch “Don’t be Afraid of The Dark”, but one of my friends has watched it, so we decided to watch Chipmunks.

 

I thought it should be a child’s amusing movie, but it is really entertaining. It’s about a vacation for Dave (the owner of Chipmunks and Chipettes), Chipmunks and Chipettes. Come back for Alvin and friends with stubborn manner and mess around.

Problems pop up when Alvin rebels that he is actually mature enough to handle everything includes go to casino and have a dinner with the cruise captain. But Dave said that he isn’t. After that Simon negotiates with Dave that Alvin needs his affection more than he thought. Dave realizes and thinks it is true so that he gives a small responsibility for Alvin to watch what TV program that he likes.

When Dave decides to tell Alvin, Theodore (the cute chipmunk and my favorite) gives Dave a necklace, a really colorful one so that it fits to every suite and I can say it is ridiculous. Forcibly, Dave wears it and gives Alvin the TV remote and said about his rights of responsibility and leave soon.

Alvin argues with Simon that the freedom behind choosing any kind of TV programs means he could go everywhere where he likes. So he changes his clothes to a formal suite and goes to the casino while Simon tries to stop him. The girls (Chipettes) feel that it is not fair for Alvin only so that they make gowns from gifts wrapper and head to disco and leave Theodore watches horror film.

Elanor and Theodore

Of course, everything is in a mess. The problems are getting worst when the captain knows that the chipmunks cause a lot of trouble. The next day, Dave supervises all the chipmunk’s activity and they may not go to adult’s area and so on. Unfortunately, Dave is asleep and Alvin takes that opportunity to play kite. The first climax begins, Alvin is trapped in the kite and other Chipmunks hold the rope and are being trapped on the sky also. Dave who is astonished at that time hurries to get a parasailing to catch the chipmunks. Accidentally, Ian comes and struggling with Dave in parasailing and they fall to the sea.

Chipmunks and Chipettes are lost in an island which has an active volcano inside. The story starts from here, where Alvin and friends lost their belief that Dave will come and find them. They start to survive, hunt for food and meet a survivor named Zoe who has a social problem.

Well, of course this story will not be so exciting if I tell you all. Just try to watch it and give 8.5 ratings from 10. There are lots of music, dance and climax here, so it is good for refreshing and mixes with comedies.  

 

My Bad Experience :

Talking about this movie, I have gotten a bad experience, when my friends and I watch this movie; most of the spectators are kids. There is a 5 years old kid was over exciting watching chipmunks and jump behind me. It’s OK for me, but he messed my hair and screamed aloud. Poor me… Lols~

 

 HAVE A NICE DAY, JA NE!
