Met Them Again At Last

Met Them Again At Last


It was like hanging out before our class started. Yes, that’s how it felt when we chatted again. As usual, laughter always colored our conversation. There’s always a line that caused us to laugh wholeheartedly, even the silliest topic.
On this Thursday, I met my college best friend, Diana. She’s now a mom. His son is very quiet compared to his funny mommy. She was accompanying her husband enrolling for post graduate in ITB.
She still possesses her great skill in making people laugh. And that unique laughter still sounds the same. That’s why it made me feel like going back to the old days in the campus. Our gang’s headquarter was in Cisaladah lodging house. The cause was simple because all most of the kids stayed there except for Ocha and other kids who lived in Bandung. We talked about those friends of ours. Somehow we lost their tracks. Neither Diana nor I ever heard about their stories again.
Then came along Mia who was late, that made the situation even more hilarious. We couldn’t stop laughing. Our cheekbones were stiff due to the endless laughter. Huh! It’s really great. I missed those happiest moments.
Somehow, sad stories always accompany happy stories. So, did that day. My two friends’ lives were surprisingly full of sadness and hardships. They made me think that I was very shallow. I am very small compared to them. They could stand still and smile even though the hardships were mounting. The meeting with them gave me a new perspective about life. I might not have changed completely, but they surely have influenced my life now.
They not only gave me smile and laughter but also great lessons about life. I am really grateful to have them in my life ^^v. I wish we could have those moments more often to reduce my tense life a bit.

프라이팬 놀이/Frying Pan Game/BTS

Playing Frying Pan Game/BTS We played a new game called Frying pan game (프라이팬 놀이) with our Korean guests in our Korean Class. It was fun. It’s like catching the mouse game. We learn the Korean numbers in the same time.  Say, if your friend mentions your name and the number, you have to mention your name according to the number he/she mentions previously.  For example, if your friend says "Dana dul (2)", so you have to say your name twice, "Dana...Dana" and so on and so on. If you make a mistake, well, you get the punishment. The type of the punishment depends on the agreement of the players. They are many types, trust me. Just choose one.  This game was played on one of the TV programs in Korea hosted by Kang Ho Dong (강 호 동), Hye Ryong said. 재미 있네요. 우리 애들이 놀이를 좋아해요.  But hey! BTS too played this game on one of their TV shows.  You can check out the video  here  So far, we have learned many Korean games. Mostly we got...

Mahal Mana, Bungeoppang atau Taiyaki?

Mahal Mana, Bungeoppang atau Taiyaki ? Kira-kira ada tidak perbedaan antara Bungeoppang dan Taiyaki? Hmm…kalau secara rasa keduanya sama. Bentuknya juga sama. Mungkin yang agak sedikit beda itu harganya kalau dibandingkan ke dalam Rupiah. Nyoba Bungeoppang dan Taiyaki Ceritanya selama jalan-jalan di Korea, aku sudah nyoba beli Bungeoppang 3 ~ 4 kali di tempat yang berbeda -beda . Hasilnya, semuanya sama, tidak dijual dalam satuan. Bungeoppang tidak dijual satuan . Misalnya, dulu sempat beli 2000 Won. Penjualnya memberi aku sekitar 5 ~ 6 buah dengan ukuran kecil, tapi tidak terlalu mini. Sementara ketika di Jepang, aku mencoba beli Taiyaki di daerah Kyoto, Taiyakinya dijual dalam satuan dan harganya muahal sih dibanding Bungeoppang yang aku beli di Korea. Kalau aku tidak salah ingatan, adiku (he..he..he.. yang bayar adiku) harganya sekitar 160 Yen per satu Taiyaki. Untuk memastikan harga terbaru, karena aku pergi ke korea terakhir tahun 2015, aku cek di si Mbah Google ...

This Time We Tried Rafting, A Funny Rafting

This Time We Tried Rafting, A Funny Rafting After that tiring walking in Ranca Upas, this time we tried rafting. Hmm…it seemed we had an endless adventure. Yup, I think so too. I guess we’re addicted to adventure now. It’s so different with one of my friends who is addicted to making cakes….^^; Last Saturday we did our first adventure with water. That Saturday rafting is our first rafting. Oh, the place is located in Pangalengan. Geez, I couldn’t stand that winding road. It made all of us feel uncomfortable. To distract my mind of that winding road, I kept eating “Kwaci” till we arrived in the spot. It worked really well in releasing the wind off my stomach.^^ Once setting the feet in Pangalengan, the first thing I did was taking out my camera and capturing the amazing views. If you see those photos, they might remind you of places in Europe or in the USA . I feel like that every time I see them. Lovely, if I may say. Well, nature always succeeds in blowing me away. N...
