.. s.e.r.e.n.d.i.p.i.t.y ..

.. throwback 1st experience with a friend. back than in 2011. Our first abroad trip together. at first I never thought I will meet a person who have the same interest over a country, because of a job that introduced us with "a bond experience" in domestic destination.

Then after a long chat, and a few lunch and a bunch movies with a limited timing we had we decided and my ambition to visit the grand opening of Fujiko F Fujio Museum at Kawasaki. Both of us didn't know that looking for a flight ticket without knowing which travel fair to attend would be difficult and cost us a lot! after a few visit to tour&travel offices we almost gave up! not to mention we had no idea how to book a hotel in Tokyo! we knew nothing at that time!

I forgot how this idea coming at first, then we found a package with a "good" price from http://jalan-tour.com/ver04/individual_tour_package.php this packaged was included flight, accomodation and tix to Universal Studio and Disneysea -- they also provided us with JR Shinkansen from Osaka-Tokyo (and gave us SUICA card for local transportation with JR Railpass in Tokyo). They provided a visa service as well (with add cost for the service).

We're so excited!! FINALLY!! our first trip to JAPAN!!
We took GA flight JKT-DPS (transit)-OSAKA .. we arrived at Kansai Airport, then go straight to the Universal City by shuttle bus from Kansai Airport-Universal City which cost us 1,500YEN/person, we walk from the bus station at Universal City to Hotel Kintetsu Universal City, to drop our luggage then we go straight to Universal Studio Osaka to HAD SOME FUN!!

arrived at Kansai Airport

we're so ready to have a fun adventure

We need to read all sign that lead us to  the shuttle bus stop to go to Universal City, we already got the voucher to hop-on to the bus to took us to the drop off location near the hotel, the ride itself took about 30min-45mins, and from the bus stop at Universal City we need to walk around 10-15 minutes to the hotel.

  some of the toiletries that we had at our hotel! So cute, everything is woodypecker theme!! I wanted to take it all for merchandise, but not the face and hand shampoo bottle! hiks hiks hiks....

Entrance gate to USO

Elmo is everywhere!

After we're tired strolling around USO and had so much fun, we went back to the hotel which only a few steps from USO, checked-in and cleaned up, then we strolled around the Universal City to look for dinner. we found Takoyaki Museum and Nostalgia Museum. The next day, we go straight to Osaka-shi Station to get on a Shinkansen to Tokyo and explore the city with a city map in hand! for this trip, it such a luxury trip for both of us, we didn't bring our luggage along to Tokyo with us, we sent them from Osaka-Tokyo by courier, how fancy is that heh?!

We arrived at Tokyo Station, the Shinkansen ride from Osaka-Tokyo took about 2,5hours ride.

the first thing we visited in Tokyo is Tokyo tower that pretty close with Zojoji Temple we're amaze with the view and the hanging wooden prayers.

We went to Shibuya to took picture in front of legendary HACHIKO statue in front of Shibuya Station, strolling around the Shinjuku area to grab a dinner we stayed at Keio Plaza Hotel at Shinjuku, then we extend our stay for 2 days to visit Fujiko F Fujio Museum we just bought the ticket at the nearest Lawson store at Shibuya and lucky us the schedule was available for us! YEAY!!

to go to the museum it took us about 1hrs JR railway ride from Tokyo - Kawasaki and we need to walk to the museum about 45minutes by foot but its all worth it for us! (well actually for me thou)

We had a quick visit to Ebisu Garden place, my friend wants to pay a visit where the movie "Boys Before Flower" took place. We grab some coffee and sit around and took some pictures.

The next day, we surely visited DISNEYSEA another adventures to experience! The weather was nice! We spent entire day at Disneysea, we took a shuttle bus from Keio Plaza Hotel to Disney sea .. so not so much hustle to catch a public transportation to go there.

The next day, we went to Kawasaki to be amused with Doraemon Museum!

Actually 7 days in Japan wasn't enough for us! We surely will visit this country more often to explore more!

Odaiba Liberty Statue We even got a chance to visit Odaiba and strolling around there to visit Fuji TV Station there, got a chance to visit a automotive exhibition at Odaiba as well.

Wait for our other stories in Japan for our annual visit!

.. up & up ..

.. gosh 2017 already!! and my last post was in August 2016! missed many stuff here ..

many great stories in 2016, lots of new experience in 2016 and some ups and down feeling! my 2016 is always never been better.

"fixing up a car to drive in it again, searching for the water hoping for the rain. up and up ...
down upon the canvas, working meal to meal waiting for a chance to pick your orange field up and up. see a pearl from, a diamond in the rough, see a bird soaring high above the flood it's in your blood, underneath the storm an umbrella is saying sitting with the poison takes away the pain. 

how come people suffer how come people part? how come people struggle how come people break your heart? Yes, I want to grow yes i want to feel yes i want to know show me how to heal it up

you can way what it is, or fight for it! close your mind or take a risk. when you think you've had enough don't ever GIVE UP!" -- Up&Up (Coldplay-2015)

have no resolution for 2017, have no plan for 2017. go with flow and believe everything will be as great as what happened in 2016, or perhaps even better! most of it, in 2016 i learn that most people have their own dreams their own expectation and their own hopes (well can i say a hope instead of desire?) well whatever it is hope that i don't misinterpret the meaning of the word it self.

some people i met (or hang out with) set their own standard, even though in my point of view they won't be able to fulfil the obligation. taking some lease or mortgage that way beyond their capability in term of financial. they even borrowing money for the down payment just to fulfil their needs that are not in their capacity. well, i smiled and talk less about my opinion about that!

they travel to many destination, but when it comes to their proof of bank statement they politely asked people to invest the money on their account to get their bank reference release. again, i smile and make less of comment on this.

and there's people who consider me as their opponent, i own this this person will immediately compete to get things better than me, i said i will do this, then this person will post their activity that (they thought) one step before me. I laugh, i didn't know that i can meant that much to people around me. Seems they put me for their standard, well i might say they have good standard (because they used me as their standard) hahahahaha ....

I spent most of my weekend time and my leisure moment with my parents and my nieces and nephews especially the little baby one! I won't missed a thing about this grown up baby he's adorable and my muse! Parents is all i have right now, without them i won't be like who i am right now! They love me unconditionally, they give my honest feedback and input even sometime it will hurt me (a bit) but those words are genuine.

I won't ask for more in 2017, just let me be me for the rest 2017! because i know so many people depend on me for their goal in 2017 ..

.. #YOLO ..

.. it's been a while i haven't touch this page. got many stuff in my head, i can't even think where to start. the one that pop into my head now, many people asked me "why don't you have a boyfriend?" or "'till when you want to be single?" or "where is the invitation" and my response is still the same "is coming..."

for me, to be single is not a problem. because its really the time we have to get good at being alone. drive anywhere without anyone permission (of course, in my case i still need to ask my parents permission on this), shop anything without any hesitation from others opinion, watch any movies without any argument what movie that we want to watch, eat everything without asking any recommended places that one might want to visit?

I'm good at being alone i guess, but the question is that do I really want to be single? until when?
Because, most people told me there's a danger that i'll be so good at being single, so it will set my ways that i'll miss out the chance to be with someone great out there.

well, is not that i don't want to be commit with someone, its just my thought being committed will be the end of my "me time", travelling anywhere i want, or buying stuff whatever i want without anyone permission. Yea yea yea it sound like i'm controlling myself to much! but thats the fact thou.

if people asked "don't you missed some guy text or phone call to ask how are you? or how's your day? or even what's for lunch?" i might response "well, is not a genuine question for me!" why would some guy used those pick up lines to open a conversation? its 2016 .. do guys still used those pick up lines? i might be to hard on myself or some people say "I'm to independent" but in my defensed i tried to be on those guys shoes.

If they can treat women like that, where those question to guys seems to lame, i can be that person too? have you heard a guy who bluntly ditch a girl because she's to good? oh well who wants to date a bad person? or some guys ignoring phone calls or texts from a girl who wants to know whats happening with him, i can be that guy too ..

as for now, being single is not a problem or issue for me. I don't need to compete with anyone to have a plus one in myself. Yes, i'm looking but not desperate. i own social media but not for people to know that "i'm open market" i'm not against matchmaking process, but the way i see it the one who knows what i'm looking and what i need is myself not other people! so safe your time to find me the "right person".

i do believe, when the time is right the right companion is on his way! ..

.. Anonymous ..

.. for a minute it was looking like, will i end up seeing this guy in person? I spent my whole time looking for a perfect timing to meet him. maybe i'll never be satisfied, had a couple bad lucks in finding the right timing to bare with his busy schedule. now, that i'm looking for him, why is it so hard to find the right timing to meet him?

i thought i took one step, but then what i did i took two back. i'm not even close this time, that's the fact; all i know is that i want him, perhaps he can be the perfect match for me, with all the weird thing and all the absurd  conversation between us. where are you? i just gotta meet you!

I want to know, why is it so hard to find you? to meet you?
why you're so anonymous?
I need to know ... are you available for me? will you spare your time for me?
why you gotta be so anonymous?

Gosh! I want to meet you ....
I want to hold your hands, i want to stare at your eyes ...
Come fast ... i'm in a rush with my limited time visit this time!

When i think about him, i get a rush! I really want to meet my Mr. Anonymous!
I'd only can see him with my close eyes, can i borrowed your time?
I tried to delayed the sunlight, everything i tried to tell you I failed to. Maybe I'll tell you another time, how he keeping me so pre-occupied?
I'm willing to pay for his time .. never mind!

Tell me what's going to be? just bring me the hook! ..










*please tell him*

.. stand by you ..

.. new year, i never found myself making any resolution for any year that i've been through. what i have in mind is only keep improving myself to be a better person in every single day.
but what i learnt during 2015 journey, was i need to be more patience through all what happened during my career and facing lots of faces in front of me. need to be more diplomacy toward all of the clients that i handled, need to accept every complaints every bad words from other toward me with an open mind. manage all the expectation with positive attitude.

when people see me in their perspective i just need to accept that people have their own judgment over me, which i can't control what others might think about me or feel behind my back. can't expect others to be good right? even me i have my own judgment over people (of course with my own angle)

Need to be more careful to choose with who i want to hang out with and with who i should get attached. nice people doesn't mean they will stay true behind me right? so, never assume good people in front of you will do good behind your back. Need to sharpen my instinct with those kind of people around me, fake people will always be the success one. Well, i might say a few sincere people will be succeed but those who stay fake i found it more survive in every situation.

Sportive is a must attitude that i need to maintain, it will keep me away from hatred and revenge to others. Since i'm not that ambitious over something, sportive is something that keep me away from competition with others that might harm others. Let God protect me from those attitude, i'm afraid i will harm people with my blunt attitude ...

be kind 2016 ..
