Tips Memilih Kos Yang Baik


Dear Pembaca,
Hari ini Penulis mau ngasih tips dan info penting buat maba2 (mahasiswa baru) yang baru mulai ngekos dan kalang kabut belum pernah ngekos atau sebelumnya emang sudah tinggal bareng keluarga. Juju raja pengalaman Penulis sendiri juga dulunya nervous pas ngekos sendiri, minggu pertama sih gak kerasa sudah tinggal sendiri, setelah 1 bulan kerasa banget sepinya. Beberapa bulan kemudian agak homesick, untung aja tiap tahun pulang 2 kali, hehehe~

Tapi tenang aja, semoga Penulis bisa bantu kalian agar gak homesick dan bingung milih kos seperti apa yang baik. Terutama baik fasilitas, isi si kos dan lokasi. So let us go!

(Warning!! Tips2 ini berdasarkan pengalaman Penulis aja, tidak setuju atau ada pertanyaan, silahkan comment, jangan dipendam dalam hati, ntar dendam kumat gak baik :P)

Ok, sebelum masuk ke poin utama, ada 3 poin besar yang akan saya bahas mengenai kos2an yang baik, yaitu:
1.      Fasilitas yang baik
2.      Lokasi dan harga kos
3.      Lingkungan Kos

Pertama, kalau berbicara soal ngekos, sebenarnya ada plus minusnya soal fasilitas, tapi yang wajib pastinya kasur/tempat tidur, karena tidak mungkin kamu bawa kasur toh dari rumah, bayangin kalo mau kuliah di Bandung tapi asal dari Papua. Kemudian meja belajar, terserah deh mau bentuknya kayak apa, yang penting ada itu meja buat belajar. Kemudian sangat disarankan mencari kos yang ada ventilasi dan jendelanya. Nah, selain untuk sirkulasi udara yang baik, bagi yang memilih kos2an dengan WC/toilet dalam, harus wajib ada ventilasi dan jendelanya!! Selain kesannya lembab, kan gak sehat kalo gak ada sirkulasi udara yang lewat.
Ngomong2 soal WC/toilet dalam, sebenarnya gak begitu penting sih, ini ad + dan – nya juga. Kalo gak suka bersihkan WC/toilet sendiri, silahkan cari kos yang WC/toilet luar, konsekuensinya ya share ma orang lain. Kalo WC/toilet dalam ya bersihkan sendiri, Cuma enaknya ya personal usage. Ada juga sih kos yang beri fasilitas bersihkan WC/toilet gitu, Cuma biasanya harganya cenderung kisaran 1,8-2juta gitu, jadi ada tambahan cleaning servicenya. Jadi ya kembali lagi kos seperti apa kebutuhan kamunya.

Di samping itu, harus ada colokkan listrik, buat computer ato laptop, ngecharge hp, itu penting banget. Yah, kos tanpa listrik apaan coba. Pondok gitu? Kemudian kalo bisa ada lemarinya, biar bisa naruh baju,dsb.

Nah masuk ke poin penting, kalo menurut Penulis, kos2an yang baik itu ada dapurnya, ada jam malamnya dan ada penjaga kos dan securitynya. Jujur aja lah ya, poin penting ini baru saya rasakan ketika membandingkan kos saya dengan punya teman. Ceritanya teman saya ngekos, harganya 2jt sedangkan punya saya 1,5jt. Ok, soal fasilitas kos teman saya emang canggih, masuk kos aja kuncinya yang pakek card gitu, terus ada TV, kulkas pribadi, WC dalam ada water heater, lengkap dagh kayak hotel2. Masalahnya di kosnya itu tidak ada jam malam, alias siapa aja boleh masuk di jam berapa pun, di samping itu securitynya juga yang gak begitu ketat, orang masuk keluar gak ada yang tahu. Jadi security hanya sebatas nangkring di depan kos ngelihat kendaraan aja. Emang terkesan sepele sih Pembaca, tapi menurut saya jam malam itu penting, misalnya aja di kos saya, jam malamnya adalah jam 11, setelah itu gerbang ditutup, sorry to say ya kalo emang situ suka keluar2 malam yah berarti gak cocok sama kos yang ada jam malam, tapi jam malam itu buat prevent kita dari kejahatan malam hari, supaya lebih aman saat semua terlelap. Artinya, tamu sudah harus keluar kalo sudah lewat jam 11, selain buat personal resting, buat mencegah orang2 yang gak berkepentingan buat masuk. Jadi saya cukup senang sih sama aturan kos saya. Andaikan pun kalo saya pulang di atas jam 11, gerbangnya kita buka sendiri, karena diberi kunci masing2 penghuni, dan di depan kos juga ada security yang biasa nanya habis ke mana malam2.

Nah soal dapur, saya juga membandingkan kos saya dengan teman saya yang 2jt itu, mereka punya kulkas pribadi, TV pribadi, ada dapur tapi gak ada kompornya, alias dapur mini. Isinya Cuma microwave, meja dan kursi. Jadi Cuma buat manasin makanan dan tempat naruh perabot makan. Well, kadang2 kasihan juga ngeliat teman saya yang sering makan luar melulu. Habis beli makanan, masuk kulkas, besoknya pakek microwave panasin. Jadi gak masak sendiri. Emang sih kesannya fleksibel dan modern, tapi kalo mau jaga kesehatan, lebih baik ya masak menurut saya. Di kos saya ada dapurnya, ada rice cooker, ada tempat cuci, kompor, kulkas sharing dan meja kursi makan, walaupun gak mewah saya rasa pemilik kos tahu banget poin penting jadi anak2 kos yang musti tetap jaga kesehatan dengan masak.

Ada lagi soal laundry, jujur saya gak bisa cuci baju sendiri, hehehe~ Jadi laundry itu membantu banget dan melekat di hati saya (ich, lebay) kecuali daleman lho ya, itu saya cuci sendiri. Ogh iya, cari kos yang ada tempat jemurannya, buat jemur handuk setidaknya.

Intinya simple sih buat fasilitas Pembaca, pikirkan dan pertimbangkan fasilitas yang crucial alias sangat penting dan bermanfaat, banyak kok kos yang mahal dan keren, tapi fasilitas pentingnya justru gak ada. So warning buat poin2 penting seperti ini.

Yang kedua mengenai lokasi dan harga. Lokasi akan sangat lebih baik dekat dengan tempat ramai, maksud penulis bukan ramai tempat spot2 rusuh ya. Misalnya dekat dengan minimarket, toko buku dan tempat makan gitu. Jadi gak usah capek2 berjalan jauh2, gak harus dekat kampus juga, yang penting ada lewat jalur angkot, banyak tempat makan, lokasi strategis gitu. Personally, saya lebih prefer kos yang gak masuk gang, soalnya terpencil, kalo pulang malam agak rada2 gak aman juga, jadi kos saya di depan jalan gitu. Walaupun 5 menit jalan ke kampus, lumayan olahraga. Soal  harga, kos2an sekarang ada yang murah dan ada juga yang mahal, tergantung kebutuhan. Tapi sejuh ini yang pernah saya temukan relatif antara 750.000-2.200.000. Kalo di area Jawa dekat kampus2 gitu sudah agak susah nyari yang 700an, paling sudah 1.000.000 atau di atasnya minimal.
   
Yang terakhir soal lingkungan kos, bagi yang cewek pasti galau yah milih kos campur apa khusus wanita? Wkwkwk~ Kalo saya kebetulan dapatnya yang khusus wanita, cowok boleh masuk tapi sebatas ruang tamu aja. Kalo masuk kamar pintu gak boleh ditutup dan diawasi ketat ma bu kosnya. Ada asik ada nggaknya, enaknya yah kalo di kos cewek khusus gitu cenderung gak berisik (tergantung orang2nya juga sih) dan bersih (you know girls? They r lovely clean). Kalo campur ya rame, dan biasanya agak kurang ketat peraturan kosnya. Yah gitu deh, ada enak nggaknya masing2, tergantung suka yang mana. Kalo soal belajar, saya suka tenang, jadi enakan yang khusus wanita aja. Lagipula cowok boleh masuk, jadi santai aja, yang pasti gak bobo di dalam (plak! Kalo berani). Kalo bisa nyari yang asri juga, ada tanamannya, supaya enak aja lingkungannya. Itu aja sih poin2 pentingnya. Semoga bermanfaat ya bagi maba2, makasih sudah mau baca :*

Golden Time

Yo readers!
It has been a long time I do not write any review about anime. Gomen ne~
I watch less than past 6 months. Well, university life is not a big deal to watch so much new anime. So I watch three from 2 seasons. It's tearing lols~
But don't worry, I am watching a good one, so check it out!

Episode count: 24
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Plot:
Kaga smacks Mitsuo with the roses, funny part lols~
Tada Banri, a new freshman of a college in Tokyo meets Mitsuo, a new friend in law faculty. In the first day of their university, they lost their way to get into the building where the university should be. But after having the right way, suddenly a car stops beside them and come up a beautiful girly girl, Kaga Kouko. Kaga Kouko congratulates Mitsuo and brings him a bouquet of roses. But suddenly everything turns to hell, Kaga smacks Mitsuo with the bouquet and blames him on why he doesn't tell her the truth where he goes and moves. Mitsuo who is being offended in front of public keeps arguing with Kaga who is identified as his childhood friend.

Kaga bullies Oka
The story comes up with a bad manner and behavior of Kaga Koko who is always sticking up to Mitsuo and having no other friends besides him, while Mitsuo is trying to run from his reality which is stacked with Kaga Koko who claimes him as her fiancee. Things turn worst when Mitsuo claims that he doesn't like Kaga as a lovers, and he decides to find his own who is Oka Chinami, a friend who is in the same film group. Kaga who is offended by Mitsuo words, she bullies Oka Chinami as a plain, flat girl who is no match with Mitsuo. Mitsuo scolded Kaga and badmouthed on her behavior which strikes Kaga. 
Tada Banri

Banri who is watching along these conflicts, he starts to pity Kaga who is actually losing her own manner, easily lost control and actually unreliable. Banri tries to help Kaga to reveal her true nature and about her own feeling what she should chose to be. Along side of that, Mitsuo who likes Oka can't tell the truth, because Oka's nature style who is child alike and avoiding the truth having love inside of her.
The climax later takes on Banri who is actually losing his soul and having amnesia, after having strong bond wiith Kaga and friends and reaveal himself ever loving Linda, a senior in his university as old lover.
Well, the story is complicated but smoothly told inside the story, pretty good and so much laughable. It's easily understandable and the plot is told exactly between Banri's past and present.

Worthy to be watch for those who like romance and comedy.
Make it a try~

End of The Exam, Welcome Christmas, New Year and Future

Yo readers~
It has been a long time I did not write anything. Sorry, don't be upset, I am still using on this blog, although it is so much business, and I can't help it. 

Yesterday was the last final exam ahahahaha *(u can describe my face above, it is so much alike), my head feels like want to explode. Pooooffffss!!! I am taking law faculty since July. It's so much shocking, a person like me  ended up into law. It's a pretty harsh life here, but of course I won't regret on anything what I have chosen, it's an absolutely consequence. Talking about justice, inhumanity, human rights, laws and orders, nation, people and heroism, they are here in one package, what I learn, what I am crunching on, it is not as easy as I thought. But I am OK, I face it with head held high. 
End of exam, I am planning to go back to home town on 24th of December, wew sounds awful on Christmas eve? Lols~ Don't worry, it's a morning flight. Well, let's talk about 2013 then. I graduated from my high school, leaving my hometown, having my university life, meeting lots of new people, adapting to new atmosphere, etc. This year is a total breakthrough, I am leaving home, leaving all those bond inside of the family to reach up one purpose, to get better future by educating myself. Thanks for my parents, they give me permit and so much support I can't mention one by one. My old friends are gathering in hometown, after my arrival, there should be so much meeting, parties and gathering. Can't wait for that.
Besides that, things I haven't achieved so far.. Hmm.. Should I talk about this? Can we just skip it? Ok.. I haven't found a good mate, I haven't been shaped into good person either spiritually and physically. I still recognize less friends, torturing myself in material of study, less traveling and adventuring just like I did last year. Poor me. May be I have to make new resolution for next year. 
My boarding house sounded so crowded just now, everyone is fleeing and go back to home, nah I still need wait for 2 days (=______=) pleaseee.. Actually I don't really really miss my hometown, but my dad forces me to go home badly. So I decide to go home. They miss me.. They are missing me from up to toe. Lols~
I miss'em too, but sometimes I feel so guilty, I mean.. I come back still with blank hands, I haven't finished my study, I have just started oh mom, dad.
Okay forget about that part, I want to go back happily. At least I don't need to worry so much about the boredom of food here. Tasteless, mostly fried and flat. Hahahaha~ Don't blame me, I am not originally here. Future is so much scary, heartbreaking, unpredictable but adventurous --> I get this line from a song, which song? I forgot, sorry. But no worries, I want to enjoy it, if it is possible, not to enjoy it alone next year, but if it is not possible I am OK too. Lols~
Talking about my situation now.. Someone out there is missing me.. And when I go back, that one will say something. Someone is waiting on the bus stop, but the bus hasn't come so far, sometimes the door opens, sometimes it closes itself, still not balanced. Someone is still watching, even that one watching, that one can't forget the smirking past. Others are unidentified, others are nowhere. And here I am, writing on everything for some moments and passionately. It's not that easy to handle such thing, sometimes I am confused of myself which one is the right one. It's like a game, but with full responsibility. Let's see what will happen next.  
Just hoping for better grades,
better meet with others,
better bonds inside me,
better laugh and smiles,
better all around of life,
Thanks for reading =D
