2014 Travel Recap

2014 comes to an end!
Gosh..time really flieeees.
Every time I want to write something, then another something has caught me up and then I'll tell my self to do it later later then never.
And suddenly BAM! Dec 31st is coming.

Happy? yep. Super happy? yep.
I do have many sad thing happened in my life this year, but the happy things just buried it all that I could barely remember the sad ones. 
My life recently is..kinda exciting.
I have a new job, new office, new friends. It's more tiring but I do enjoy it. And I don't have those "hate Monday" feeling anymore at least.

Any good thing happened? Suuuree!
Four of my bucket list had checked this year, and I'm pretty lazy to write everything, haha.

1. SINGAPORE SHORT TRIP - November 2014

    IT'S YG FAMILY CONCERT BABY!

YG Family Concert - Singapore Stadium

Now I declared my self as an official YG Stan, haha! Gosh gosh gosh. I barely hold my self to buy All Or Nothing 2NE1 Concert in Jakarta because I know, that YG will have their YG Family Concert in Asia and I'm pretty sure that at least, Singapore will be one of their stop. So I'm waiting like crazy then suddenly BAM! They announced it! With so many struggle finally we made it!

BIGBANG, 2NEI, EPIK HIGH, PSY, and... WINNER! Aaaak..the feels! Song Mino I LOVE YOU!! hahaha. Me and my friends, Cici, really head over heels with this new YG boy group. Their song ALWAYS played on my playlist the time they had debuted. Yes I do broke my saving BUT nothing could compare my happiness to see them all sing live in front of my eyes! Now I'm waiting for BIGBANG comeback and maybe, another Asia Tour, huh? :)

Note: 
If I can attend the next BIGBANG tour, then I can say that I see GD & TOP once a year since 2012 (2012: BIGBANG Alive Concert, 2013: GD One Of A Kind Concert with TOP as guest, 2014: YG Family Concert)! 


2. CIREBON TRIP - November 2014

Cirebon Trip

Me and bf kinda have an agenda to visit at least one city in my country Indonesia that we have never  visited before. So this year's destination is Cirebon! Main objective? of course it's culinary! Nasi lengko, nasi jamblang, empal gentong, we try everything we could. Nom! And for next year's destination, looks like Palembang and Medan already waving and calling us to come.


3. TRYING PARAGLIDING - December 2014


Puncak Paragliding

Paragliding now has been out of my bucket list. It was that fun so you craving for more flying time! We tried it at Puncak Paragliding with bf, my junior-senior high school friend Jeni and my college friend Farid. The beautiful sight up from above really captured my heart. Feel the wind caressing my face and the moment you take off from the ground gives an awesome chill. Promise my self that this isn't the last :)

4. BROMO FAMILY TRIP - ALL IN  - December 2014

Family trip all in was one of my biggest thing on my bucket list. I have promised my self to bring my family all in to some place, spend some happy time, doing the thing that we never did before. After saving up some amount and calculating the budget, I booked some flight to Surabaya (and train for my brother because he is currently lives in Jogja), made an itinerary, booked the car and driver for our transportation at Surabaya, then holiday we're coming! 

At first we just want to spend hanging around Surabaya but I remembered that my Dad has been a long time wanting to go to Mount Bromo. And fortunately my kindhearted driver offering a reasonable price for Bromo midnight trip (without spending night). So here we go! Bromo-Malang-Batu Trip for 3D3N Family all in! I'm happy seeing my family's happy face. Short time, but full of memories.

I wrapped 2014 with many happy things. Some of my bucket list finally out of it, and better things were coming too! I pray and wish that 2015 will bring us more happiness. Welcome, 2015. Welcome, chances and challenges!


Note:
for you who have been waiting for Person Of The Year 2014, I'm still on it. Can't wait!

Dia Dalam Imaji.

Aku ingat ketika cintaku jatuh perlahan di kaki nya.Ketika yang kugambar di sela jam kuliah adalah wajahnya, bukan lagi pohon ataupun secangkir kopi.Aku bingung. Di mata ku tiba-tiba memiliki magnet yang saling tarik-menarik dengan magnet di badannya. Aku melihat jelas, kupu-kupu berterbangan di sekitarnya. Jika dia sesekali menengok ke arah ku, tiba-tiba leher ku berat langsung tertunduk. Keramik-keramik kelas menjadi warna-warni. Kelap -kelip berganti warna pelangi. Bibirku melebar di tarik kuping kanan dan kiri. Oh ya satu lagi, ada yang aneh di dada ku. Seperti ada yang mengetuk-ngetuk. Seperti ada yang ingin masuk.

Dia juga aneh. Ada banyak kunang-kunang menempel di bajunya, bersinar-sinar dengan terang. Kupu-kupu berdatangan dan hinggap di kepala, kemudian berubah menjadi bunga. Bunga berbagai rupa dengan harum sampai hidungku.

Kupu-kupu tadi, tiba-tiba datang ke arahku. Sebagian mengelitik pinggang ku, dan ketika aku tertawa, sebagian lagi masuk ke mulutku. Mereka berkejaran di tenggorokanku, kemudian menari mengelilingi perutku.Badanku semakin tidak karuan. Ketukan di dadaku semakin keras, tarian di perutku semakin cepat.

Oh, dia mendekat!
