Cilacap - Teluk Penyu

Hello!

Last weekend, I went to Cilacap for my work with Verlast

while we wait for more picture about our work, 

why won't you see's my picture here?

Thanks to Listya Ayu to drive us here

as she said, there's a lot of beach that we can find in Cilacap

and this is the nearest from her house, so

it's pretty quite here

and it's easy to catch (by car, of course)

for tickets, it cost 20,000idr for each person

near here, there's a lot of "warung" who sells coconut, seafood, and "tempe mendoan"

yes, you read it right

tempe mendoan

pretty delicious, too bad I forgot to take a picture of it

oh, here some sneak a peek from our work!

Sehari Bersama Bapak - Alun Alun Bandung

This post dedicated to my Father

So, I will write it in bahasa

jadi, bapak aku itu.

orangnya sama sekali nggak neko-neko.

like, literally setelah selama ini smartphone jadi kebutuhan manusia,

Bapak baru sekitar akhir tahun kemaren punya WhatsApp.

yes, THAT application yang kayaknya udah jadi kebutuhan semua orang.

Saking nggak neko-nekonya, even lampu merah pun nggak diterabas.

ada mobil mogok pinggir jalan, bapak ikut minggir ikut bantuin dorong

*padahal bapak udah gampang encok*

sejak aku kuliah, bisa dihitung berapa kali aku ketemu bapak

karena technically aku pulang cuma setiap lebaran doang.

somehow suka nanya sih, 

"Bapak kok jarang nyuruh aku pulang?"

katanya, "Biar aja kamu konsentrasi belajar di Bandung."

Pun, Bapak ke Bandung technically juga setahun sekali, itu pun kalo diperluin.

bahkan sepanjang 2015 aku ketemu bapak waktu aku pulang lebaran doang

(ketika dimana temen temen kayak tinggal loncat ketemu orangtuanya)

no, I'm not 'baper'-ing karena aku jarang ketemu bapak.

sebenernya udah super duper biasa banget, karena dari dulu pun bapak juga jarang dirumah

until tiba-tiba bapak nanyain, 

"Fira hari rabu kosong nggak? kalo kosong Bapak mau ke Bandung."

omg. bapak yang sibuk. tapi nanyain kelowongan waktu aku.

you don't need to ask, dad. I will reschedule if I need to.

setelah 5 tahun kuliah di Bandung (Jatinangor sih, tepatnya), 

baru sekarang bapak nggak ada keperluan apa-apa mau nyempetin main ke Bandung.

katanya, "Nggakpapa, lagi kangen aja. pengen ketemu Fira."

it melt my heart, you know.

iya, itu topi bapak. aku udah bilang aku rusuh kan?

until I realise, seumur-umur disini pun, aku nggakpernah keluar, berdua sama bapak.

quality time as father-daughter.

baru kemaren banget.

itu pun waktu di tanya bapak mau kemana, dia cuma pengen ke alun alun.

"Been 35 years since the first time I came here. Everything changed."

saat ketemu pun bapak nggak banyak cerita, mostly aku yang berisik.

kalo kata orang, energi bapak buat ngomong udah abis karena capek ngedengerin aku.

as for me, Bandung is a right place to falling in love

all over again. 

it happened to me, too. 

because father never fails to make his daughter falling in love to him

all over again

Singapore Trip - Quality Sister Time (Part 3)

for the last day of our trip

we were planning to go to Botanical Garden

it just a big park, like everything was soo green and makes me feel calm and relax

I just so in love with walk, and it just more than enough.

after we talk a lot of walk, we were looking for souvenir. 

when the sky getting darker, we went to Marina Bay

to enjoy the night scenery

if you want to ask, 

no, we're not shopping as much as most people do

it just, enjoying the city

where we walk a lot, enjoying the euphoria being a citizen

*okay, now it sounds awkward

but, it just we love to walk a lot. 

not really taking pictures, but still

they say, to fix your broken heart,

you have to get lost until you find back, you

until next trip!

Singapore Trip - Quality Sister Time (Part 2)

for the second day, we were planning to go to national library

but my fault, we walk the wrong way

yes, as you can guess. my fault. hahaha

But then, if we weren't lost, we'd never break the rules "it's impossible to get lost in SG!". 

Thanks to nice uncle who showed us the right direction. 

What's a trip without getting lost (but still taking a lot of pictures), right?

no, don't worry. 

we made it to the library.

and as for me, this was one of the coolest library ever!

it is, full of people. but it just, so quiet.

and it's easy peasy to look for a book.

(not like library on my uni)

and the book amazingly, still good as new.

but I know it's not a new book.

after few hours, we walk to Hajj Lane!

that small street but photoable. 

when we were there, there's also some people doing OOTD photoshoots

after lunch, we walk through and come to The Urban Redevelopment Authority

it is a museum for urban design

and incredibly awesoome!

just because I don't really understand urban design (like my sister)

I do learn a lot about the historical of Singapore,

and the planning until 20 years later.

Singapore Trip - Quality Sister Time (Part 1)

on one random day, my (younger) sisters ask me, 

"I think Dad gonna ask you, to company me and have a trip to Singapore"

and I was like, 

what the hell, dude?

but so, sure!

I was so booorreedd about my final task

so here we are

my sister having her plane from Surabaya

and mine from Jakarta.

it was her first time to go abroad, so

oh, not to mention it is our first trip together, just the two of us

on our first day, we choose to take a walk near hotels

oh, my hotel was near Bugis

and THANKS GOD it is near to EVERYWHERE

soon after, one of dad's colleague contact us

and we have dinner together at Bedok

here we find some places with halal food EVERYWHERE

they say that there's the cheapest halal food (but still tasty)

thanks Tante Diah and Om Haris!

and oh, not to forget putting back some melancholy touch

to fix my brokenhearted (?)
