Free Trip to Bali

Gw baru balik dari Bali,,, Yeppp,,, can you smell Kuta beach on me?? :P

Kantor gw ini emang ajib banget, gw baru sebulan masuk kerja eh udah ada aja OUTING ke luar kota, rencana awal emang mo ke Singapore tapi berhubung ngga semua staff punya passport dan waktunya juga yang terlalu mepet akhirnya dipilihlah Bali sebagai tempat huru-hara kami.

Namanya juga outing, semua gratis ditanggung kantor gw. Mulai dari tiket pesawat PP Jakarta-Bali-Jakarta dengan Lion Air, penginapan 3D2N di Hardrock Hotel Bali, permainan water-sport, sudah termasuk makan (pagi di hotel, siang-malem sesuai itinerary dari agent di Bali) malahan nih yaaaaaaaaaaaaa, uang transport dari rumah-bandara-rumah aja dikasih 300k/orang, dan tentu ajaaaaa uangnya malah dipake buat beli celana pendek persiapan outing, kekekekeke.. Transportnya malah dengan cara NEBENG mobil temen,wkwkwkwk. What a beautiful life.

Malam sebelum berangkat, dari siang sampai jam 9pm gw masih kelayapan di luar. Kongkow-kongkow dengan teman maen gw di Dunkin Donuts daerah Pancoran, sampe akhirnya gw kaget udah malem dan gw belum prepare apa-apa. Secepat kilat gw dianter ke rumah dan nyusun baju di backpack.

Udah hampir jam 12 tengah malam, gw masih sibuk hahaha hihihi BBM-an sama temen-temen kantor ngobrolin apa aja yang mau dibawa sedangkan pesawat gw besoknya jam 6.20 am yang artinya before 6 harus sudah ada di bandara terminal 3.

Loh kok terminal 3?? 

Ternyata sejak bulan May kemarin kalau tidak salah, Lion Air memang memindahkan beberapa rute pesawat dari terminal 1 ke terminal 3 sehingga tidak terjadi penumpukan penumpang. Baguslah..

Jam 3.30 pagi, pas mata lagi sepet-sepetnya gw dibangunkan alarm yang emang udah gw siapin sebelum tidur. Ngga pake mandi, langsung bikin sarapan dan capcus ke rumah temen yang gak begitu jauh dari rumah gw. Gilaaaak, pagi-pagi dinginnya berasa masuk kulkas. Gw nunggu di depan lorong masuk rumah temen gw karena gw juga nungguin 1 temen lain yang bakal nebeng bareng. Ditambah lagi nih ya, kami mesti ke kantor untuk jemputin temen-temen laen yang ikutan nebeng. Wakakakaka, parah deh di mobil udah numpuk kaya sarden.

At the Airport
Mungkin ini baru juga yah, selaen perpindahan beberapa rute seperti Jakarta-Denpasar-Jakarta ke terminal 3, pembayaran AIRPORT TAX ternyata langsung bayar di CHECK IN COUNTER (dibayarin oleh kantor juga). Untuk penumpang Garuda, ini udah berlangsung sejak lama tapi untuk airlines lain kayaknya baru-baru ini mulainya.

Emang deh orang kantor itu baekkkk banget, kami ber 25 (bos besar menyusul dengan Garuda pada malam harinya) pas sampe erpot langsung disediain snack Breadtalk gitu. Sambil bercanda ama temen-temen, gw dengan santainya menuju gate dan baru sadar kalo di backpack gw yang gw bawa ke cabin ada parfum yang lebih dari 100ml. Panik dong gw, secara sudah ada peraturan kalo lebih dari 100ml harus masuk bagasi. Gw langsung nyari-nyari temen laen yang kebetulan tasnya bakal di check-in kan. Happ dapetttttt.

Fiuhhhhh....


Pas gw lewat security check nya, ohlalalaaaaaa, ngga ada tuh pengecekan sama sekali. Even mo bawa air minum juga boleh-boleh aja. Aneh, apa ini cuman berlaku di terminal 2 yang notabene International Flight??

Singkatnya, ketika kami berada di pesawat, dengan mudah kami "menguasai" pesawat yang cukup ramai itu. Ada group lain yang berangkat, bedanya mereka lebih memilih tidur daripada kakak-kikik, mungkin juga karena peserta outing di kantor kami yang lebih "berjiwa muda".

DAY 1: BALI - Ngurah Rai Arrival
Masih seperti beberapa bulan lalu, airport ini masih semrawut karena renovasi besar-besaran sehingga jalan keluar dari Domestic flight nyampur baur sama International flight. Panas sudah pasti lah ya, tapi seru ketika naek bus. Berasa kaya anak-anak TK yang mau ke kebun binatang.

Sebenarnya ada sekelebat kenangan, pada tarikan koper berat dan pelukan erat. Dulu.

Ahh sial..

Ditambah perjalanan pertama kami yang menuju Tanjung Benoa untuk bermain watersport, melayangkan ingatan pada hari-hari nan panas berakhir di Circle-K sebelum pantai. Menilisik jalanan di hotel-hotel berbintang lima BTDC, dibawah pohon rindang menatap lepas pantai. Dulu.

Lengkap sudah penderitaan gw, hahahahaha... Bagoeeessss.


Ngga pengen larut dalam kegalauan, gw melarutkan diri dalam asinnya air pantai.. Nyesssss, naek Banana Boat, 2kali di ceburin dan lumayan juga minum aernya. Permainannya juga banyak, tapi gw kemarin cuman dapet sekali aja. Padahal gw pengen ngikut flying fish, eh ngga ada partner yang mau karena mereka udah duluan "terbang" pas gw maenan si Pisang.

Ohya, sebelum maen basah-basahan, gw dan teman-teman sewa 2 kapal ke tempat penangkaran Kura-kura, sekitar 10an menit dari pinggir pantai. Sebenernya ngga ada apa-apa sih di sini, cuman cukup seru foto-foto dengan binatang selain Penyu. Ada burung elang, Iguana, sampe Ular (dihhh sumpah geliii bangettt gw pas di kalungin ular ke leher gw).

Bersihin badan ngga pake sabun/shampoan, bilas air asinnya doang, ganti baju, lunch ngga jauh dari tempat main watersport ini (Ulam Restaurant, ini tempat ga rekomended karena rasanya yang standard abis, trus capcus deh ke TANAH LOOOOOT)

Honestly, gw sih udah bosan banget ke Tanah Lot ini, secara rumah gw cuma 10 menit doang dan udah beberapa kali bolak-balik ketika jaman kuliah. Cuman serunya pas di sini sih, gw ama temen-temen jadi objek foto para fotografer dadakan. Lumayaaannn nambah-nambahin album di Facebook. LOL

Dinner di Tanah Lot, pulang ke hotel udah capeeeee banget tapi udah kadung janji sama temen kuliah gw buat ketemuan di Beachwalk, a new shopping-hangout-place. Dengan mata mengantuk dan badan pegel karena semalam cuman tidur 3-4jam aja gw seret kaki gw ke Kitchenette.

They are still the same, we are still the same, fellas. Glad to know that.

DAY 2 : Bali Hai Cruise - Lembongan
Walopun gw udah cukup lama tinggal di Bali tapi sayangnya gw sendiri ngga begitu banyak kesempatan untuk menikmati Bali layaknya turis-turis asing, entah itu karena ngga ada temen yang niat buat jalan-jalan karena mereka orang Bali asli jadi mikirnya "yaelaaahhh, ngapain sihhhh lo ngabisin duit buat maen aer doang, sini gw siram aja" atau emang karena saat itu biaya permainan ala turis ini cukup mahal di kantong mahasiswa.

Alhamdullilaaah sekali lagi, gw dapet freeeeee dari kantor dan puas banget maennya.

Sekitar jam 8.30 selepas breakfast, kami semua sudah di jemput oleh bus dari pihak cruise (bukan agent kami) dan lansung menuju Pelabuhan Benoa, foto-foto sebentar, di kapal paling atas (open) gw dan temen-temen dan para bos-bos seru-seruan berfoto ria, sayangnya itu engga lama karena gw MABOKKKKKK laut sodara-sodara. 

Senderan di kursi, berasa mo nyebur aja di laut karena pusing parah amit-amit deh. Untungnya,mungkin 30-45 menit kemudian kami sampai di lokasi (ngga turun di Lembongan) yang merupakan tempat bermain air terapung. Jadi, bisa maen banana boat, naek kapal yang kaca gitu bisa liat keindahan bawah laut, ada starting point untuk diving, ah seru deh.. Alhamdulilaaaahhh banget, diving yang awalnya dibayarin 50% doang eh lagi-lagi jadi GRATISSSSSSSS (kira-kira 600-700ribu/orang dan ada Dvd underwaternya)

Damnnn, I love this office so much maaan.

If I can tell you how excited I was, woooww, the experience is priceless but I don't know because I am not kinda expert in swimming and a bit afraid when we dive down there, I think it was my first and will be the last time :P

The pressure from the water made your ears hurt and I don't feel so confident with the water. It made a thought, falling in love does not always mean to stay "together", sometimes simply loving thing just the way it is, ngga mesti ketagihan, ngga mesti mati-matian pengen diving lagi/snorkeling lagi, hehehehe... Parno deh gw.

Abis diving oh ya, kami semua dinner di Jimbaran yang sayangnya tempat yang dipilihkan oleh Agent kami ini bukan di tempat biasa gw nongkrong, masakannya standard banget, tapi lumayan seru karena pake acara nyanyi-nyanyi dan joged dangdut. Teteeeeeeep, gw yang kenaa ya sodara-sodari T____T.

Hari ke dua ini selepas dinner pulang ke hotel, while some of my friends and bosses were planning to go the Rock Cafe in Jimbaran (near by the dinner place,, damn thats far maan)  I spent few hours in the swimming pool. Funny thing that I was pretend as non-Indonesian speaker when one of the lifeguard talked to me. One guy was following me around but say no words, I bet he doesn't speak English. Then, I went to Seminyak, Ultimo Restaurant buat nemuin tante gw and her friend. I went with my friend's car, after 12 we decided to leave and he asked me to stay a bit longer outside and he drove the car to his family villa in Kuta area, to be honest, the place is a bit creepy. He offered me to stay there but I refuse and you know what, from villa to hotel usually only takes few minutes but we stuck for 2hours because the taxi driver try to persuade those intoxicated guys from the club. They blocked the road maaaan. sucks!!

He seems a bit upset because I refuse his offer and then we stuck for hours for nothing!! Sorry dude. 

At the end, when I arrived in front of my room, I just realize my card doesn't work. Damn, I was sleepy and tired and my room was quite far from the receptionist. I have no choice, I went to the desk, and found out the card was okay but my roommate locked the door from inside. Thanks God, when I called one of them pick up the line and open it for me.

Tired. Tired. Tired. I don't think I have extra energy for Rafting tomorrow :(


DAY 3 Check Out- Rafting- Airport
After packing all my belonging, we all went down to the breakfast area and leave our baggage at the Concierge. I found out from the first day in Hard Rock Hotel Kuta-Bali, the food is sooo disappointing. Only few choices (Indo and western) and the staff were NOT really friendly. Remember, I was working in hotel industry and compare to HR, my previous hotel much better.

Then, I had some "business" to do and went to the restroom. A bit shock with the cleanliness but really, Hard Rock need a great management to keep this hotel in the right track. 

Pas di restroom temen gw udah mulai nge pang-ping nyuruh cepetan dan cukup kaget ternyata tas gw dibawain sama salah satu komisaris tinggi di perusahaan gw!! Damn!!! "makasih paak" #nunduk-nunduk

Selama perjalanan gw sempat tertidur, ngga tau deh mereka ambil rute mana pokoknya taunya sampeee aja. Then, untuk menebus rasa terima kasih, gw dan temen gw cowo satu lagi memutuskan untuk bergabung dengan team Pak Komisaris dan Istrinya yang cantik jelita (I love this couple, romantissss banget. Humble. Down to Earth abesssssssss).

It was FUN!! gw udah lupa ngantuknya gw dan berusaha menjadi yang pertama untuk sampai di garis Finish. Karena ulah guide kami yang menganjurkan untuk menghalau boat lain supaya ngga bisa lewat ternyata jadi senjata makan tuan, padahal kemenangan ada di depan mata... TIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK. Hahahahahaha..

Mandi, tuker baju, si guide pake acara flirting lagi ke gw!! Masih bocah padahal, naah selepas berberes dari UBUD dan masih banyak banget waktu buat ke erpot lagi-lagi kami menuju tempat oleh-oleh (JOGER dan beberapa tempat oleh-oleh sekitar Kuta). Sebelum turun, diadakanlah pengundian DOORPRIZEEEEEEEEEEEE. Memang sih SEMUA karyawan pasti dapet, paling kecil hadiahnya ada Voucher Belanja Rp 500rb. Dari segala macem hadiah, Galaxy Tab, Acer Notebook, Blackberry, TV Flat 32", Mini Home Theater, gw cuman menang voucher doang T__T

Emang dasar udah hoki, bos-bos yang lain pada menang hadiah yang mewah-mewah dan hampir semua bos memberikan hadiahnya untuk diundi ke staff yang hanya menang voucher yang artinya gw bisa ikutan. Kebetulan bos gw, juga cuma menang voucher belanja dan sebelum dia "menghibahkan" hadiahnya untuk diundi lagi, gw yang duduk di depan bos, langsung teriak " BAPAAKK!!!! SAYA INI SEKRETARIS BAAPPAAAKKK!!!" yang disambut gelak tawa semua orang dan akhirnya si bos nyerah dan kasih vouchernya buat gw. Yippiieee, gw dapet free belanja Rp 1 Jutaaaa dan tetep bisa ikut undiaaan (yang diundi pas di kantor di Jakarta dan TETEP gw ngga menang,hahahahahahaha)

At the end of the day, everybody was so happy with the free-trip from our management. Thanks again for the opportunity especially me as newcomer but then they let me to join. We had dinner at the airport (KFC box) because the flight schedule in rush-hour. Thanks to my boss also because he brought me to the lounge so I can charge my blackberry (it's very hard to find plug around the airport :( so bad )

The flight back to Jakarta was awesome, I can't stop laughing for 1.5 hours with my bestest and none of us were sleeping. Arrived in Terminal 3, my friend's friend drove us till the office and I sent text to my brother so he could pick me up there. See, money transport was such a BONUS!!



Hamdallah.. Hamdallah, Thank You God for everything :)

Pada Satu Waktu

Because love is unspoken.


MIllion miles we were apart, hundred days never counted, and now you back. bringing half of my heart.

Your love is unspoken. came from the pure heart, to take care of me, to protect me, because no words able to explain how much you love me.


Teruntukmu, yang selalu aku tunggu.

Sayang, senang melihatmu lagi. Kau sehat? baik-baik saja? Lama tak berjumpa, lama tak berkelana tanpamu.

karena bersamamu, aku bisu. tak mampu berkata-kata, selalu, setiap kali kita bertemu. entah itu semenit yang lalu, sejam yang lalu, kemarin atau tahun-tahun telah berganti tapi aku masih merasa kaku.

Jantungku terasa berhenti berdetak ketika kita tanpa sengaja bersentuhan, saling bertatapan, mendengar deru nafasmu yang semakin menjadi ketika kau terpingkal di depanku,

Somebody That I Used to Know

Since I am facing some issues regarding my personal life make me lose some weights, not much just one or two kg.

Kinda normal.

So, here we go. I suggest you to every girl, if you were break-up with your loved one, especially here for all women, don't easily trust their words. Like, "we can still be friends, It's not easy to find a replacement in my heart, I am not kind of person that easily falling in love."

It might happened to some of you, like me. I was broke up with my Bf few months back after years in on-off relationship. I met someone else in between, broke up again, back to him, and now broke up forever. When we decided we couldn't continue our relationship due major issue we had been faced without any solution, we both agree to live our life base on our choices.

"We could stay as a friend", he said. Of course I am agree because what I believe, the issue we had was far away from hurting each other. Something else I can't tell here. Why can't be friends?

Foolish me.

Just after one month of our separation, I found out he put new profile picture with another girl. Ahaaaa... One month. But I don't really care because I realized sooner or later I will see him with another person, hmm in one month is an exception. A surprise.

Fine.

As his old-friend, of course I want to say hi. Just a single HELL-o. How's life.

"He is doing great and we are getting married in next three months", SHE replied.

Ahaaa,,,, his facebook been hijacked and checked by soon-to-be-his -wife. With a smile, I said, I am happy for you and send my regards to him.

End of conversation. I guess... but its turn into new fight between this irritating-fiancee and me and my ex.

He blame me for sending him a message. Oh come on, it was nothing more or less just a simply hello. What is the issue? what is the problem? what makes you afraid that I am gonna ruin your wedding??

Do I look so desperate over you? tck tck tck... I do understand if she became so jealous but you don't need to attack me too, right?? 

What a shame. After 3-4 years knowing each other and you think that I am gonna ruin your relationship?? She is stranger, you just met her 2-3months and you changed drastically. 

Really, you are just somebody that I used to know.
  
How I wish I could do something bad to you and her, throw your ALAY-Gf to Gramedia so I can give her a lesson how to WRITE and TYPE correctly. Additionally giving her extra information that she is an optional for him since I reject his proposal. Oh Bitch, save your life.

Well,,

I don't want to start a silly fight with MORON people, so let it be. Let them enjoy their love birds and their marriage, long last?? may be for a year or two?? Amen...

Current Song : Somebody That I Used to Know

"Somebody That I Used To Know"
(feat. Kimbra)

[Gotye:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye:]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Short

Pagi ini, seperti biasa gw dan temen-temen gw menghabiskan pagi di ruang sebelah untuk sekedar ngopi-ngopi cantik.

Bos gw sedang ada urusan di Kedutaan Canada jadi dipastikan dia akan datang siang setelah lunch, yang artinya gw bisa santai, hehehehe, taelaahh kaya biasanya ngga santai aja T_T.

Okeh, ada beberapa hal yang pengen gw bahas. About family and relationship sebenernya. Gw selama ini kadang merasa hubungan kekeluargaan gw, terutama dengan nyokap itu agak gonjang ganjing karena nyokap yang menurut gw terlalu sensitif.

Tapi pagi ini, gw ngerasa,, damn, I am so lucky. Makanya ketika temen-temen gw curhat about theirs, speechless karena ngga tau mesti komen apa juga sih ya. Terlalu berat dan mungkin gw sendiri ngga sanggup untuk seperti itu.

Makanya, kita ngga boleh nge-judge seseorang dari tampak luar aja. Kita ngga tau seperti apa atau hari-hari berat yang mereka lalui kayagimana. 


ah badewei... Mom, I love u so much :-*



Dora
*sebenernya banyak yang mau ditulis tapi gw masih ngakak banget ini sama temen gw cerita tentang berantem sama alay,hadehh,, nanti deh sabar

13:28

Okay, I feel much better now.

Rasanya in a blink, my life has been changed. Drastically, dibawah kekuatan sadar gw, diluar kontrol kesadaran gw, tiba-tiba berubah. Ketakutan gw, kekhawatiran gw, semua hilang. Rasa sesak, powerless, dan segala macam mix-max nano-nano.

Kaya terbang tinggi dan jatuh seketika. Sakit book, nyessss. But I remember Allah, He is the one the savior of my life. Yang selalu ada di saat gembira dan duka.

Tunduk pada malam-malam penuh nestapa
ketika cintaku menyeruak begitu saja
Sajadahku berbaur perih
berbaur pilu, atas rintihan sakit yang tiada terjelas kata
tapi kuingat Allah, Allah, Allah
tiada yang lain, terlupakan segala amarah

Ya Allah,
kutepuk pelan hatiku sambil berdoa
berikan kesembuhan pada yang sakit
pada kekecewaan
pada harapan semu
pada janji-janji lepas belenggu

berikan kelapangan pada yang sempit
keceriaan kepada yang sedih
ketenangan pada yang gundah
berikan jawaban atas pertanyaan

Amin...

Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."

(yaitu) orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka manjadi tenteram dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingati Allah-lah hati menjadi tenteram. (Quran 13:28)
