Singapore

Totally pedestrian's friend. I wish my city would be like that.

1st day.

After check in, we went to Marina Bay, visiting Harry Potter Exhibition. We foolishly walked there from Boat Quay and ended up dead tired since we walked for 4-6 hours. The exhibition is totally aweeeesooome! Though the things are pricey, I bought several Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. (I ate vomit flavor and feels like vomiting, yucks!) and also Slytherin scarf.

2nd day.

USS! A great amusement park, too bad I didn't ride Cylon since it was unavailable. Transformers and The Mummy is cool. Waterworld show wass great, used many effects, it's like watching a film! Souvenirs here is pricey, and wasn't as expensive as HPE.

3rd day.

Bought things for family and friends at Mustafa and also went to Orchard. Really wanna go to Kinokuniya actually, but I don't have any needs there.

4th day.

Sentosa again and Chinatown. Bought a Hard Rock pin. Now that I think again, that pin is indeed expensive. I could buy a mini album with such price lol. Also visited MEMA. Since it was recently opened, the aquarium aren't ready yet. Good things are souvenirs there are quite cheap since it's still in promotion. And then, flight home. (Anyway I won't tell you about missing the flight thingy)

FYI, our hotel is at Geylang, a red-light district. Totally cheap yeah, but the environment is a bit err. Next time I go there, I hope I'll have enough money to stay at a better hotel. Fullerton maybe? XD

A Lesson

From that 4 days and 3 night trip to Singapore I learnt lots about a trip overseas. For some reason, we made mistake so me and a friend missed our flight home. Now, here are the lessons I got.
1. Schedule everything well.
Each person wanna go here and there, so it's better to plan the itinerary clearly. Also, limit our visit there so  we don't waste much time and everyone wills granted.
2. Wake early and leave hotel early.
If we leave the hotel earlier, that means we'll have more time so we could visit more places.
3. Bring more than enough money.
But that doesn't mean we can spend them all. If a case like ours *cough*missed the flight*cough* happens, we'll have enough to buy a new ticket.
4. If someone asked you to buy something, confirm it.
Ask them if we can't get that thing, whether we should buy something alike or rather not buying at all. Also ask them how expensive the price they accept.
5. Don't miss your flight.
It will cost you a lot. It's better not to go anywhere in our last day before flying home. Leave in advance to airport. It will saved you if on your way to airport something like accident, traffic jam, etc happens.

I think........that's it.

Dinner

Last week is my Dad's birthday, so the 4 of us had our dinner at Huize Trivelli. It's a resto with unique interior, all of the stuff are heritage from colonialism era. Since there's not many people when I went there, the atmosphere felt a bit spooky lol. I took several photos there. Please pardon my cell's eye.

It's wedang jahe, if you wonder.

Beef black pepper...? Forgot what the menu said.

If you wanna know more, you may visit the resto homepage here (sounds like a commercial lol).

Gotta warn you, meals there are pricey, especially steaks like above. It was more than 80K IDR. That's why  I came there only for such occasion. But in my opinion, such price is even with the taste and its uniqueness.

Anyway, Happy 67th Independence Day Indonesia! Hope you'll have your freedom from corruption and poverty.

Reunion

15 out of 25 gathered this evening. Fast breaking together while actually only 3 who were fasting. Drinks, foods, stories, sillyness, crazyness, and laughter. Oh, there's cake too, for Wayan's birthday. A great day indeed. I think I never laugh that hard when I hang out with other lads. Tomorrow is studying day. There's exam for my Japanese course in Saturday so I have to fill my brain with Kanji. おやすみ。

Korea Indonesia Friendship Festival Oct 12, 2010

i wanna write in english but most of my friends would like it in indonesian. lol.
omg, it's been a loooooong time since i last blogged! and now i live alone...sigh. time flies fast..
okay straight to the account~


ini ga gw bilang fan acc juga karena gw bukan fans aka shawol. lol. tapi biar gampang bakal gw label di fan account~. *abaikan* n ini cerita juga berdasarkan pengalaman gw, temen gw n acc orang yang gw baca di internet. biar clear aja gitu ceritanya.. ohya gw bukan pendongeng yang baik jadi bahasa gw ya rada aneh-,-.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Gw n Thya ke Senayan naek trans bintaro, turun di Plasa Senayan pas jam 4an.. Karena gw blom asar jadi gw solat di PS n beli McD juga. Abis beli McD jalan kaki lah kita ke Tennis Indoor Senayan n nyampe di sana sekitar jam 5 lewat atau setangah 6an.. Disana udah rame banget n masih banyak calo yang berkeliaran nawarin tiket outdoor seharga 100rb-___-


Karena kita udah beli McD n tiket outdoornya Thya juga masih di Ayas yang blom dateng, daripada bergabung dengan lautan manusia yang berdiri depan pintu outdoor *yahh bukan pintu juga sih* karena blom dikasih masuk, jadi kita duduk di trotoar deket2 situ n ketemu temen2 gw yang anak 78 laennya~
Trus karena di luar gerah banget kita masuk ke lobi kantor pengelolanya gitu numpang ngadem. n temen gw Diana ngobrol sama orang yang berhasil foto sama Son Ho Young (ex member g.o.d).


Setelah ngadem beberapa saat karena udah jam 6, yaudah kita memutuskan untuk ngantri masuk bagian outdoor. Eh ternyata...... itu pada dorong2an pengen masuk dan jadinya tiket outdoor sama sekali ga diperiksa! Setelah lari2 buat dapet posisi enak depan layarnya, n udah pada masuk semua yang outdoor, panitianya muterin MV kpop. Pertama Bonamana. Biasa lah heboh gitu. Abis Bonamana itu diputer Love Like This!!!!!!!!!!! Gw langsung teriak saking seneng n excitednya xDDDDD. dan selama nonton gw nutup mulut saking terpananya n nahan diri biar2 gw ga teriak2 *oke ini emang lebay*. Selain itu juga diputer 2NE1 & Big Bang yang Lollipop, trus I Don't Care juga.. apalagi ya? *short term memory*


Jadi.... acaranya bener2 mulai jam 18.30 pas. Yang ngebuka adalah kelompok yang main musik tradisional Korea gitu. Keren! Dari cuma musik2nya aja, kemudian penyanyi kelompok itu berdiri dan nyanyi Bengawan Solo! Diiringin alat musik tradisional Korea dan mereka semua itu orang Korea loh.. Setelah selesai, baru deh MCnya muncul, Adrian Lee *yang MC Showbiz Extra* dan Nadia Mulya. Bener2 deh yaaa Adrian Lee ganteng banget pake batik! dan Nadia Mulya pake hanbok. Setelah berbacot ria (pake english, karena seluruh acara pake english, kecuali sambutan2), dikeluarin lah sambutan2 itu dari pihak Korea, TVRI, dan Arirangnya. Setelah sambutan2, muncullah tari Bali. Ada yang pernah liat tari Saman di Star King? Mereka yang muncul di Star King itu juga tampil dan bawain tari Saman di KIFF. dan mereka semua anak2 Korea yang tinggal di Indo. (lagi2) Kereeeen!! Setelah itu muncullah Jakarta Korean Child Choir *kalo ga salah namanya* pake hanbok dan nyanyi salah satu lagu yang di drama Jewel In The Palace. Suaranya bagus2 banget!


Dan akhirnya satu per satu muncul deh penyanyinya. GIta Gutawa muncul nyanyi Parasit dan Kucinta Dia *eh bener ga tuh judulnya?*. Trus Naomi muncul dan mereka duet lagu When You Wish Upon A Star. Selesai dan MCnya pun nyamperin mereka n interview gitu (you know lah). Anyway englishnya Gita Gutwa bagus dan Adrian Lee itu jadi kayak translator buat artis Koreanya.. lol.  Setelah itu Gita G menghilang dan Naominya nyanyi solo. Menurut gw suaranya bagus sih, tapi tampangnya aja kurang cantik dan mungkin agensinya juga ga menjual jadi ga terlalu terkenal.


Nah ini nih, setelah Naomi yang nyanyi adalah Son Ho Young!! eh sumpah ya dia keren abis!! dan dia ngerap!!!! n bodinya itu lohhhhhh hot sekseh kayak leader!!! XDDDD. dan dia tuh bener2 ramah n di salah satu lagunya dia turun panggung n bener2 salaman sama penonton!!! sumpah ya itu bener2 bikin gw jadi ngiri banget sama yang indoor...n di lagunya yang kedua itu dia buka rompinya dia n cuma pake kaos dalem item yang tanpa lengan gitu tau kan.. gila ya hot abis gw sampe bilang robek tu kaosnya dan temen gw sampe nengok ke gw haha XD. *jjitjoong syndrome* trus dia ngedance dan duet gitu bareng Goo Jun Yeop *maap kalo salah eja*. Selesai duet interview lagi, dan Adrian jadi translator lagi. lol. Setelah itu Goo Jun Yeopnya nyanyi. Band yang terakhir sebelom SHINee adalah The Dance Company. ah biasa aja....hehe. dan pas interview mereka cuma jawab OK n sip. Membuat gw ragu mereka ngerti english apa ngga. haha.


Nah akhirnya yang ditunggu-tunggu muncul!! jeng jeng jeng~~~ SHINee!!! Semua yang outdoor yang tadinya duduk langsung berdiri! Pertama Ring Ding Dong. Gila ya walau gw terlalu fokus sama hape nyoba moto tu layar *yang sebenernya hasilnya gagal dapet yang bagus-_-* gw bisa melihat SHINee itu cakep2! (shawol sesaat dan dadakan :p) Semuanya heboh nyanyiin dan banyak yang ngikutin dancenya. Lanjut ke Lucifer! Masih aja nyanyi bareng dan tangannya pada ke atas jadi ya.. gw susah buat moto. Maaf ya yang nitip fancam dan fanpic..hasilnya jelek...T.T Gw berusaha untuk tetep moto2 ngarep dapet yang bagus dan itu membuat tangan gw super pegel. Abis Lucifer MCnya interview mereka dan penutupan. Setelah itu SHINee perform Hello dan selesai lah KIFF pada pukul.. berapa ya? 21.00 atau 21.30 kali ya..


Begitu SHINee selesai, penonton langsung pada lari nyebar nungguin di depan pintu backstage. Dan kru kru KIFFnya menipu dengan bilang arah situ lah, sana lah. Nah karena Thya (yang mau gw tebengin n numpang nginep) panik baterenya abis, jadi kita nyari colokan. Dan beruntungnya adalah nemu colokan di deket pintu backstage C. Kita tuh ga terlalu peduli awalnya soal SHINee keluar lewat mana. Dan kru2 KIFF yang di dalem coba ngusir dengan nipu SHINee keluar disana (sambl nunjuk2 arah gitu) tapi secara kita lagi ngecas jadi ga diusir. Selam ngecas itu, sempet kita sempet kenalan sama cewek yang dapet tiket Arirang yag mo ngecas juga. Dia itu dari UNS Solo dan bolos kuliah 3 hari demi nonton! Gilaaa. Nah, karena dari tadi yang di situ diusirin mulu, gw yakin banget SHINee mau lewat situ. Bener aja. Setelah 30 menitan lebih (atau 1 jam?) kira2, pintu backstage yang tadinya dikunci itu dibuka kuncinya. Gw langsung yakin seyakin-yakinnya bakal lewat situ. Nah sialnya, Thya udah ditelpon sama yang jemput dan dia langsung panik-__-" jadi lah kita cabut dari situ. Padahal kita perlu nyariin Diana yang menghilang nguber2 SHINee.


Pas udah ketemu Diana, ternyata dia bener2 ngeliat langsung! Dan pas gw tanya keluar dari pintu mana, ternyata beneran dari pintu C yang gw duga! aaaaah T.T  >.< Diana cerita, kalo yang pertama itu sebenernya si Son Ho Young. Dia jalannya santai dan masih nyapa orang2 itu sambil ngomong annyeonghaseyo.. Trus Key, dia jalannya buru2 gitu. Abis Key itu Jonghyun, dia dipapah gitu.. Trus Onew jalan sambil megangin kepalanya dan keliatannya keleyengan (kalo ga ngerti keleyengan gunakan istilah pusing). Dari berita2 di twitter sesudahnya, barulah kita tau kalo ternyata kaki Jonghyun cedera dan Onew dijambak.. Dan saat Key ngeliatin Jonghyun dan Onew dengan tampang khawatir, ada fans yang ngelempar hadiah sampe kena dadanya Key. Trus baru deh Taemin, jalannya biasa aja. Terakhir Minho jalannya buru2 juga kayak Key. Kalo menurut Diana, sebenernya pengawalan udah cukup ketat karen dia coba ngulurin tangan buat megang tuh ga bisa. Tapi sebelahnya heboh kalo dia bilang berhasil megang Minho. Jadi.........?


Miris banget ceritanya pas bagian SHINeenya digituin. Apalagi Diana bilang kalo securitynya udah nasehatin fans2nya itu nyuruh mereka tertib dan tenang kalo mau SHINee lewat situ. Kita tuh jadi khawatir kalo2 mereka kapok kesini dan jadi ga ada artis Korea yang dateng nanti2nya :( Dan mereka tuh rusuh banget.. Tiap ada yang berhasil nyelinap masuk indoor, jadi banyak yang lari2 gitu ngikutin. Ga bisa lah jadinya...Tadinya gw juga ngikutin, cuma ga jadi deh daripada ilang spot duduk yang bagusnya..

Yah sekian pengalaman gw nonton konser untuk pertama kalinya, kpop pula xD. Semoga menghibur hati yang ga bisa nonton :) Untuk foto2 dan fancam belakangan ya.. ^^
