Closed Account and Moved

Okay finally today is coming. This the due date for my planned saving at a certain bank. After having cases of different balance between the book and bank computer record which annoyed me enough, I've decided to closed all accounts on that bank. I have several planned saving on that bank and all having a same trouble.

Since today one of my planned saving is due, I can withdraw all the money without penalty. So be it, I took all my money and closed the account. Good bye...I hope the new bank I've chosen is better in service and more profitable.

I'll put the money on Reksadana Investment program. And start controlling my investment. That education saving program is just not good enough, definitely not profitable.

Another Trip to Ambalat

Yesterday, my family was going to Ambalat beach again. I wished to get the beautiful scenery, quiet beach just like last time. This was my hubby's first time and second for Zaza and me. But we're just very disappointed with the beach condition yesterday. It's just not as quiet as before, so many people gathered on the beach, seems like from "vespa" organization. And the sea was in subsided condition (surut). Didn't took the picture of the crowd but it's quite a lot of people and making the beach is not as comfy as the first time I went to that beach.

I think this was the location where "Mbak Tata" took a picture for landscape photograph some time ago.

Disappointed face hahahahhaha :D

Zaza was always happy playing, never care where ever he is

Me, pose every time camera was facing me :p

See, the beach just don't look as beautiful as my old picture of this beach. It's look like a dried lake or some sort of desert island :D Need to find more interesting place to visit next time.

Facebook and Twitter

hahahhhaa......the social media.....I was getting involved with the social media lately, it's kind a fun. I used to have a Friendster account but never open it again these days, Facebook is far more interesting than Friendster. And now come Twitter.......

I don't remember when the first time I made a Facebook account, but I'm getting hooked up. Found a lot of my old friends on it, it's fun to finally see each other even if it's only on the internet, but seeing our friend's life going it's really good. Sharing news, photos, just like we have met again.

And Twitter, actually I made the account few months ago, in the last year. But still having a shock culture since I mostly using Facebook. But Twitter is kind a interesting too. It's more up to date, I think I'm getting hooked with this too.....:p See ya in Facebook and Twitter.......^_*

My Experience with NII

These days, brain washing, lost people and NII become a major discussion in all Indonesian Media. And what is actually an organization called NII (or so called Negara Islam Indonesia)? I have no idea about it. But it brought me back to remember an incident way back when I was in college 11-12 years ago, don't really remember the exact time since that's not a very pleasant memory to remember.

I was a new student at the university in Semarang. I met a girl in a famous book store near my board house, so we get acquaintance and she asked me to study together (religious thing or we called it "mengaji" in Bahasa Indonesia). I don't really remember her name, I thought it was Novi. So then we met again some days later after our first met. She came with another girl older, pretty face, wearing veil too just same as we were. I was feeling weird since usually what we called as "pengajian" the participants will be some group of people, but at that time, there were only 3 of us. Me, my new friend and the preacher "Ustadzah".

So then that day, at a small mosque (Musholla) at my campus, the three of us gathering at the corner "mengaji". The theme was God and Truth, well I'm not a very religious girl but still I have a strong background of religion, I don't have any question on my relation with God, I was a Muslim since I was born, I think I know and understand my religion pretty well. The preacher was emphasizing on only God (Allah SWT) and Al Qur'an is the real truth and we have to live based and hold on it only. She said that all my prayers and good deeds so far was useless, since I was living in Indonesia, a country where the Ideology is not Islam. And we should leave the country or "Hijrah" if we want all our prayers and good deeds to be acknowledged by Allah. We had to move to somewhere where people can't see us but we still be able to see others. Ffiiiuuuhh........that's kind a hard for me.

I grew up with enough religion basic and also a good nationality concept. I grew up spending most of my younger time with boys & girls scout or we called it "Pramuka" here. So I think my life is in balance. I'm not a fragile girl who still look for who exactly I'm in this world. No one can steer me or force a view/concept/ideology to me. I was giving a lot of question to the preacher that day, hahahha she must be thinking this girl is really difficult :p

So we bid a goodbye after we finished the "pengajian", Novi was coming with me to my board house and I discussed with her about what we just had done. I said to her, I don't like it. I don't like the way they discredit Indonesia, the ideology of our country, I think nothing's wrong with Indonesia's ideology. But Novi seems to be a bit confused, well definitely she didn't has a strong personality like me.

Our second meeting is getting more strange. I suggest maybe we can go to some mosque or something but the preacher said in my room is enough. I feels like getting involved in a secret mission hahahahhaha........we're secretly meet, discussed something in a low voices, okay I had enough with it. So after the meeting I frankly said to Novi, "sorry I want to stop this, if you still want to follow this "pengajian" go ahead, just don't ask me to join, ok?" Novi was just like always, look confuse, don't know what to do, part of her she agree with me, part of her agree with the preacher.

I was trying to leave the group, but Novi was keep calling me and asked me to join her. A lot of excuses I've been using that time, having Karate practise, spending time at my hometown, but she didn't stop annoying me. So then I granted her will to accompany her for the last time. She came to my board house with a boy (new preacher), whoa.......that's pretty interesting hahahaha :D

The boy was quite handsome, not wearing the usual outfit for a Muslim preacher, but he looks pretty well dressed. Just like a cool guy but just not that impressive for me. I'm not a girl who easily falling for a boy, so then we met at the living room of my board house. The discussion were pretty much the same with the first and I hate it. It against my principal of life and I really
don't want to continue that silly brainwashing treatment.

That is my last meeting with the group, I'm pretty sure they're trying to recruit me in many ways but it just failed, I'm not that easy. Novi still keep calling me everytime and I always make an excuse, a lot of excuse.....:D The silly one, the good one any excuses ever came to my mind. And after 3 months I strangled with the calling and excuses, she seems finally given up. And we never meet again until today......

With the major discussion about NII organization these days, I think people who tried to recruit me way back then was this NII. But the recent case a lost women was found back in mental shock condition with a certain look, wearing a "burqa" what I've experienced was not exactly the same. People who tried to brought me "Hijrah" was not that kind of extreme people wearing middle east style outfit. They're practically same as common Indonesian people, not the exclusive one. They're blended in the society so it's hard to differentiate those people from common people. But maybe the formula now and then is different, no idea.

Another Long Weekend is coming

hmm.....another long weekend is coming this week. What should I do? Don't have plan yet, but really want to travel around. Finding new place with a good view or delicious meal.

Spending Weekend

We're just going to spend our Saturday out, PLN is down no electricity at home, water don't run, so can't really do anything at home. We don't really have a plan to go somewhere, just heading out to the east of Balikpapan, maybe we can find something interesting there......

First we look for "Crocodile Farm" but seems we missed it, so we just go straight up to no where, hahahha and finally saw a big board written "Pantai Ambalat" hmmmm Isn't Ambalat is far away on the borderline of Indonesia-Malaysia? Then I saw another words written on the welcoming pillars says "Salok Api" it's remind me of something. My friend used to asked me to go the beach in Salok Api, she said it has a good view. So we're here why don't just go there and see.........

After like 15-20 minutes riding on our motorbike from the highway (the road is quite good, not asphalt but concrete) finally we arrived there......a very quiet beach, really fresh air, clean, and we found much of shells.........my son seem really happy after making a tantrum before when we change the plan to go somewhere instead of going to the pool.

Here they are..........

See the beach......so clean no trash......everything just seem natural, (virgin beach) :D

Seeing this house, I become wanting to have that kind of house. far away from no where but still has a good access to the city......good view everyday.......what a nice day......

To My Dear Husband

This is the last day before weekend, i had not much work to do at work, so I write some drama reviews on my other blog. My Husband was gone to site and I'm working with my Boss now, his passport (multiple entry permit renewal) hasn't finish yet so he can't go back to Singapore until Monday, since his passport still at immigration office.

I'm still watching some Korean drama as usual, was bought 5 serials and 1 movie recently and hasn't finished watching all of them.

Both my sister in law are pregnant now, we (me & hubby) were originally planned to have another baby this year but since the other two sisters had it too I don't think I want to add some more chaos to the family hahahahha....would be to much 3 babies in a year......:D so I'm thinking to postponed the plan.

Beside that, I'm still has an obsession to go to Korea now. I want to see the world that I used to see on the drama, really curious about that. But with our economic condition it would be to much if I just go there on vacation, we still need to pay all debt and all loans owh......what a mess......

Just once in my lifetime, i want to go to see the world. Going to other country and not only see it through TV's and most of all I want to see "snow" the real one not just the ice...........
So I'm thinking to go find a job in Korea, so i can go traveling while at the same time earn some money. But my husband is really against it. Oh dear.........why is that so difficult for you. I've been married to you 7 years, and will spend the rest of our life together, why can't you just give me 2-3 years for me to go catching my dreams...........????? I'll be back for sure and you know me well, we've been having a long distance relationship since way back in college. Why can't you just let me go for a while?

What i want is for a greater good. I get my wish, seeing the true Korea, and we get more money to renovate our house, or maybe buy a car, things that we won't be able to afford in some years next with our recent salary.

My Dear, please understand me just for a while.......I could accept anything you give me in this life, we're suffering together, happy together, sharing our sorrows together and now you said just don't wish more? I'm just human too, sometimes i envy others who does have something more than us, it's not that I didn't looked down to people who less fortunate than us. I will be very happy if I can help our relatives, I'll be very happy if we do become rich (you say financially strong) so we can do more to others.

It's my dream to see the world out there honey, please remember in your mind. If you can grant my wish it will be the greatest gift you ever give me..........love you, saranghanda yobo ah.....

Family Outing 13 Feb 2011

A month ago, we're (me and fam) going to Bangkirai Hill. Tourist destination which is located in Samboja (Kutai Kartanegara) 38 Km from Balikpapan.

Traveling time took us about 2 hours to get there from our home. Depart at 9 am and arrived approximately on 11 am. The road from Balikpapan to Samboja is good it's only took about 30 minutes actually but we're stopped on mini market to buy some drinks and snacks, and gas station, so it become 1 hour. From Samboja to Bangkirai Hill, the road become bad and worse, but at least it's better then nearly half year ago when I tried to get there and going back at the middle of the road, being too afraid to run out of gas and lost in the middle of the jungle.....:D From Samboja to Bangkirai Hill took us about 1 hour since the road is quite hard, we must be very careful if we don't want to get an accident. lucky the weather is clear, it makes the road dustier but better than if it's raining, it must be really slippery and far more difficult for us to go with the motorcycle. Going there with a 4 wheel drive vehicle will be the best choice, although city car is no problem either, but in a hard condition 4 wheel drive is more suitable.

After 2 hours of torture on a motorcycle seat, our butt surely sore :p Welcome to Bangkirai Hill. We parked our motorcycle under the villa, the villa house is "Panggung" local kind of house that made about 2 meter above the ground, so we can put something under the house, or local people usually put the pet in there, but since that's not a residential house, it become a parking location for motorcycle.

At the first we feel like got lost, where is the famous bridge.......we're looking everywhere and can't find it, how fool, it's just a villa area, and welcoming section.

We have to hike about 500 m to the wood to get to the Canopy Bridge, good for health. It's been like 11 years since my last mountain hike when I was in college.

And tada..........we're arrived at the Canopy Bridge......!!!

Look at that picture, it's a bit frightening isn't? it's 30m above the ground and you can imagine if you're falling from that high........but i wanna fight that feeling. I have to be brave, it took us all the trouble and difficulties on the journey and if you do nothing there then it's a useless journey. So Zaza was scared and his daddy too, sure he's altophobia (afraid of height) so me and my sister took a step to climb that tree.

Still a bit scared, but you must go.........

Ok, let's get down and go home............pic says more than words............:D

2011 Already

Woah.......it's such a long time I've been neglecting this blog, it's 2011 already. The Year of the Rabbit. :D

Now I'll start to write a diary, just like when I was young.

I'm doing great, my family is too. Had a few bad news, My Grandpa was passed away 10 days ago, and my husband's uncle got sick, Diabetes. So Long Grandpa, I'll pray for you and hope you'll be happy watching us from heaven. And for Uncle, hope you get well soon and no need to amputate your foot finger.

I got my salary reviewed recently, not much difference and raising, count on my hubby's salary for living then :p we still had a debt we haven't fully paid but we're saving to pay it back soon. I hope this year, when we got Lebaran bonus, we can pay it back all.

I'm having trouble with the house, the drainage system for bathroom and dishes washer are clogged. I've spent a lot to fix it but still not running well. Definitely need more money to renovate the bathroom and kitchen.

I spent a lot of my free time watching Korean Drama recently, been buying a lot of DVD's and collect it, re-run it when i got bored with television programs that mostly sucks. I only watch news on TV these days, and the news is not fun either. to many bad things happen in this country. Corruption cases are just like mushroom in the rainy season..........and it just like this country is run by mafia gang. That's really not an interesting story. So better don't think about Government and politics, definitely those thing are sucks.

Better to talk about my current obsession right now. It's learning Korean Language. So these few days I've been spending most of my free time studying. I was bought 3 guiding books from book store, learning in online language community. Korean language is interesting, and not that difficult as I thought before. I was learning Japanese in college and it's kinda little bit easier than Japanese.

Why I look so fond of Korean thingy? I don't know, maybe because to many time i spend on watching Korean Drama, where the actress and actors look so beautiful and handsome? hahahahah could be! I realize that their beauty is mostly not natural, I heard a lot of Korean People do Plastic Surgery especially the actress and actor. But what I like from Korean Drama is, it doesn't has so many episodes just like Indonesian Drama. Watching Indonesian Drama making me so angry, bored, and of course like a dumb. I can guess with the exact result for the storyline, it's so predictable and empty. No value of life we can learn from it, not at all. While Korean is not that money oriented on making a drama. range between 16 - 25 for most drama, it's fun to watch, focus story and when it's end, it's really ends. Here in Indonesia, as long as the rating still high they'll continue the drama until years.......making hundreds of episodes that i always got lost in middle of the story. So go to H**l I won't ever see that s**t anymore.
