Hi all!! *waves*

As you might now, Ayu Tony Happy are now based in Jakarta; and you know what (!) Arki & Rima [yess, our fellowship couple!!] are now both moving to Jakarta and work in banking here!! *heart melts* After graduated, Wina is also living in Jakarta but now she’s somewhere overseas.. hehehe.. [where? Switzerland? North Pole? ] Reza is still working hard in his study in Bandung, a very nice city 2 hours away from Jakarta.

Tony’s birthday was a week away already, but we -SIF Indo- just got a chance to meet up last Friday. This is not an officially Tony’s treat. Arki&I managed to sneak out -while Rima&Happy were blabbering and trying to keep him seated - and we bought him a box of Gelato ice cream [yup! no more cakes!] with candles on the top of it and sang happy birthday in the middle of a food court where finally the whole foodcourt were singing together with us

Oh yeah, Tony also just had his laser surgery on his eyes a month ago, so now there’s no more hanging on Tony’s face. He looks great without his glasses. Finally, here’s come the official Tony’s treat. He brought us to The Buffet, a very decent restaurant which has the longest buffet in town We ate so much so that we need to sit there for another hour until we were managed to drag ourself out from the resto. FULL!!

And while we were sitting and digesting our food, the resto played Killing Me Softly!! The song for our wonderful Dzikir Barat dance during Asean Nite!! We were laughing loudly remembering the moments we had a great time dancing while Shawn playing guitar, Maida singing, me and Rae whacking & smacking the gendang

Miss you all, wish you all the best wherever you are, and keep reaching for the stars! *group hugs*

Ngomong2 soal teroris, cerita punya cerita tentang negeri kecil yang makmur (dan aneh) ini. Singapore kan paranoid bgt tuh kalo ttg bom. Nah suatu hari gw baru pulang backpacking 10hari dari HongKong-Macau ama temen gw dan transit di SG; trus kita berdua naiklah itu MRT (kreta-nya sini). Ya namanya orang backpack yak, tentu aja kita bawa tas punggung segede gaban dan penampilan kita yaaaah… seperti para backpackers pada umumnya.. kumuh!! haha

Tiba2 di stasiun MRT tu ada pengumuman bahwa semua orang harus waspada pada orang yang:

1. membawa tas yang besar dan tampak berat - CHECK, ya iya lah abis travel pasti bawa tas!

2. meletakkan tas itu di lantai/di bawah kursi - CHECK, ya iya lah masa tas begini dipangku atao digendong2 sepanjang jalan?

3. tampak sedang mengira2 di stasiun mana dia harus turun - CHECK, ya iya lah gw dan temen gw memang sejak tadi mikir dan diskusi kita mo turun dimana mana diskusinya pake bahasa Jawa lagi hohohoho jadi ga ada yang ngerti. mungkin tu orang2 udah mengira ini bahasa rahasia :D:D

Huahahahhahaa, dan lu bisa bayangin orang se-kereta pada ngeliatin kita dengan muka ‘oh my God apakah ini para teroris itu’ dan sedang berdoa ’semoga bom ini tidak meledak sebelum saya turun dari kreta ini’. Huehehehhe.. dan mereka pada legaaaaaaaa bgt ketika akhirnya gw dan temen gw turun dari MRT dan membawa serta tas kita (ya iya laaaaaaah)

‘MENELEPON TUHAN’

Tuhan,
Selamat pagi
Hari ini subuh-ku terlambat lagi, mentari-Mu lah yang membangunkanku
Semoga malaikatMu masih sempat menyampaikan pesanku

Aku hanya ingin titip, Tuhan
Semoga tidak merepotkan, menitipkan seorang rekan
Seorang kawan yang telah sekian lama membagi tawa dan keceriaan
Seorang sahabat yang begitu kokoh memegang teguh kesetiaan
Seorang teman yang … ah, sungguh mengerti arti sejati seorang teman
Berilah dia bahagia, sirami dengan ketenangan, dan terangi dengan sinarMu
Ah, jangan lupa, Tuhan, aku titip juga pasangan jiwanya

Tuhan..
Halo?
Tuhan..?

Ah, rupanya Tuhan sedang sibuk memandang ke bawah dan tersenyum memandangi dua kekasih hatinya…

sekarang udah ga perlu khawatir ngantreee lagi, krn sekarang udah diberlakukan sistem baru antrian. jadi, for instance, kita mo naek bianglala nih, kita tinggal dateng ke depannya bianglala dan ngambil kartu antrean. disitu ada jam2nya, jadi bisa aja kita ngambil kartunya jam 1, tapi dapet giliran naek jam 3. soooo, dari jam satu ampe jam 3, kita tinggal muter2 aja ke wahana laen2 ngambilin semua kartu antrean sembari ngatur jadwal: setelah bianglala kita ke niagara, trus ke halilintar, trus ke….
sistem baru ini ok bgt!! biasanya kita ke dupan kan paling cuma dapet naik 5-6 wahana, gw kemaren ke dupan bisa naek 14 wahana!!  ok bgt ga sih!!

dan inilah muka2 ceria gw dan house-mates gw (kalo ada yang ga kenal.. yang ditengah, kuning, ceria itu namanya Chiki huehehehe)

haha, baiklah sebaiknya gw hentikan disini sebelum gw kedengeran kayak marketingnya dupan..

So this shy-Happy didnt send the pic to our mailist however, finally we can see how’s his wife looks like Seeing this picture, I think Happy should change his name into Happier! or Happiest?

The ones in the picture are me, Arki, Rima, SIF Indo other batch, and some Indonesian Singapore-scholar Wina was late cuz the long hours at the beauty parlor before going to the wedding (peace, Wina!! ), and Tony was as usual came at the laaaaaast minute, few minutes before the ceremony was over -but which is understandable cuz he came aaall the way from the top of the mountain at Papua After the wedding, 4 of us (Arki, Rima, Tony, me) headed directly to Bandung (beautiful city 2 hours drive from Jakarta) to spend weekend by filling our stomach with all the good Bandung’s food. Yumyumyummy!! Shopping and eating are definitely two things you have to do in Bandung, with hundreds of factory outlets all over the city (factory outlet is a store specially selling clothing directly from the factory, so its super-cheap) and the famous Surabi (kind of thick prata made of rice flour and your choice spread from humble ‘chocolate Surabi’ to the ‘SuperDuper Egg+Chicken Sausage+Cheese Surabi’ (ask Gerald if you dont believe how delicious this food is! Right, Gerald? ). The Surabi is sooo good that on our last day after spend most of our money on cloth and our space in our stomach for food, 30 minutes before our schedule to go back to Jakarta we decided to rush to Surabi place and have one more round of them. Hahhahaha… Lucky we managed to reach the travel place (shuttle mini-bus Jakarta-Bandung) on time Take care all, whereever you are in this world!!
