buses to success

hahaha.. the title is so random.. but, i have always wanted to wrote this since a long time ago....

well, i've finished my education in university. and one of the most remembered thing during those 4 years are buses i took to go to college.. hahahaha..

my house located in a very strategic area. you can compare ur area to mine, i'm pretty sure i'll win in the aspect of strategicness (?). my house is only 3 minutes walk from grogol bus station (where you can find buses to tanjung priok, senen, kali deres, cibinong, bekasi, kp rambutan, cikarang, pulo gadung,even pekalongan, and other places in java island) and grogol busway station (which can transfer you directly to kali deres, harmoni, taman mini, lebak bulus, pluit, pgc). also only 5 minutes walk to one of the largest traditional market in jakarta, pasar grogol, and 10-15 minutes drive to 3 biggest shopping malls: citraland, taman anggrek, central park. and my house also near 2 big university, trisakti and tarumanegara,near 2 hospital sumber waras, and royal taruma, only 25 minutes walk to one of the biggest handphone center, ITC Roxy Mas.. hahaha.. how glorious my life is..

and because of that, i can take many kind of buses to go to my college, rawamangun. and during those 4 years, i've took like 8 different buses with 5 different trajects. hehehe..

during my 1st year, i took P11. it's an air conditioned bus costed IDR 5000. it can transfer me directly from grogol to rawamangun, right in front of my campus. this bus pass through sudirman, thamrin, menteng, salemba, pramuka, and ended in pulo gadung. i like the atmosphere inside the bus, but this bus is really slow.. i mean i took like almost 2 hour from grogol to rawamangun. and also, there were only a few buses. i can find it easily in the morning, cause i waited for it at their 1st stop, grogol station, but i need to wait like 15-30 minutes in rawamangun at the evening. so i rarely use this bus to get home. i often use busway.

and yes, busway is my 2nd alternative transportation. at first, i enjoyed using busway, cause i got many friends that use busway too, and i  don't need to wait for a long time. but, once i got off from campus at 5.30 o'clock, i need to wait 30 minutes to get in the bus. especially during friday evening, busway suddenly full of people.... and so, i only use busway if i got off from campus before 4 o'clock.

and there also P64, this is a mayasaribakti green ugly, notsonice bus. cost olny IDR 2500. but this bus is sooooo rare. and once it came, it always FULL of people. i hate the atmosphere of the bus. so i rarely use this bus, and i never took this bus, if i have to go to campus or go back home alone. so dangerous. my fear is proven. i watch on TV that there was someone who put pieces of human corpse on a plastic bag, under the seat of P64 bus. that was soooooooo scary. and i never use that bus again.


during my 2nd year, i use NE2 bus.... kyyaaaaa... I LOVE NE2 !!!! NE2 is a japan, green colored bus. yeah, it's unique. this bus pass through harmoni, istana negara, gambir, tugu tani, senen, salemba, pramuka and ended in rawamangun terminal. yes, this bus also can transfered me directly to my campus, within 30 minutes.and it only cost IDR 3500 but it way more comfortable than busway. it's un air conditioned, and the seat  and window was dirty too, but i stiil love NE2. hahahhahaha..

another special thing about NE2 is, there are only 4 buses and 5 drivers of NE2. so, im kinda know exactly the arrival and departure schedule and also the bus driver schedule.. lol. i still remember the looks of the driver.lol. i don't know their name, but i know them from their physical looks, mr. hat (he always use white hat), mr. kumis, mr. handsome, mr. black (he has a very dark "keling" skin), and another one is a side driver, mr. sinetron (he looks like a sinetron actor). my favorite time riding it is monday morning, the first bus. that is the schedule of my favorite bus driver, mr. handsome.lol.

and the funny thing is the passengers of 6.30am bus, everyday, are almost the same.lol. there'll always be mr. tejas, mr. austin and ms. romi (i didn't actually know their name,  it just their character perfectly fit characters from sitta karina-titanium novel.lol. well, im kinda imagine them have the triangle love story just like the novel, their face expression sometime told that.lol). and there are also 3 elderly, mr. samson, mr. kokoh, and mr. white hair (which i found out later that mr. white hair is my dad friend). and also mrs. christy (this one im pretty sure that is her name, cause i manage to found out that she is the lecturer of biology department on my campus. hehehehe.. when we met at campus, we greet each other, she even support me during my thesis presentation). and i am the last one to get off the bus, so i know where exactly where each of them destination.lol.

 i've always talked about this NE2 bus to my classmates, how i love NE2, how comfortable and nice is this bus, how is my favorite driver schedule. im kinda look like NE2 fangirl.lol.and i've been famous for my loyalty to NE2. hahahahaha..sadly, government stop this bus operation at the end of my 2nd year :( hhhuuuaa.. i really miss this bus. and this kpop girl group named 2NE1, really remind me of NE2... huhuhu TT_TT

so after the gone of NE2, and my unsatisfaction of busway and P11, i use other random buses. 213+905, 213+busway, 159+47, P7+47, P12+47, etc. my current favorite is P7+47. that is not a very safe bus, cause i've seen like 3 times of criminal happened on P7+47. and once my P7 hacked by a bunch of high school student. but that buses combination is the fastest way to transfer me grogol-rawamangun vice versa.

okay, that's it. im looking forward to read another buses story. hope my other friend wrote one too.. hahahaha...

Yesterday

waaa.... it's been really a looonggg since the last time i wrote here..
hmm.. got no particular reason for hiatusing this blog... and now, suddenly got the passion back.. hehehe


well, what's up with me?

first............. I HAVE GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY !!! yeay.. i've hold my bachelor degree of education.. kkkk.... :p i've finished my thesis presentation in July, but my graduation was held in november..

so, how was it??

hmmm... graduation is just another ceremony for me.. hahahaha..

i didn't prepare anything special. my mom chose the dress for me, i didn't even book any salon. i really don't understand why my friends prepared such a lot of thing only for like 2-4 hours ceremony. many of them booked salon, and some of my friends that come from outside Jakarta even rent a car, so that her whole family can attend the ceremony. i even told my parents, mom dad, you don't actually have to come to the ceremony, it would be a boring one. i'll come alone.. hahaha.. that's a joke actually, everyone wants to be with their family at their graduation day.but yes, i once told them that.

my mom and dad came to my graduation. my parents also didn't prepare anything, except they take a break from school. oh, my mom is kinda expected me to be panic and busy for this. i'm their first child, so that was the first graduation for them...

oh, there's this funny thing. my mom actually have prepared a dress for me. a pink dress.. she was too excited, so she ironed that dress, but then, the dress got broken cause of the iron heat. lol. she didn't tell me that.suddenly she asked to go to a shopping mall.. i asked her for what, and she said to buy you a graduation dress.. i was like, well, we already have one. and she said, no that one isn't good enough. so, okay, let's go. and yes, she bought me a new dress coloured purple.. yes.. purple, my representative colour... hehehehe...

hmmm.. i'm not really like purple. i just think that purple represent me a lot. no, not because of its the colour of "janda". but, i love the double feeling that i got from purple. purple can represent dark, mysterious, serious, but also can represent cheerfulness. just like me. (eh?)

back to the plot...
after i had my new dress, she told me that my previous dress was broken because of her. hahahhahaha...

and the graduation as i expected went well.. ya, just well.. hmmm.. to be honest, one day before my graduation i came home late at almost 11.30pm.. where did i go? i watched volume up party concert.. kkkkkk :p the show was not great. very bad. im expecting 4 minute to sing live. i want to hear jiyoon deadly voice live, but sadly they lipsing it :( :( :(

one of the best thing was their he-think-he-is-cute manager, joonkuni saw my banner.. well, instead of bringing 4minute banner, alin and i brought a4 size joonkuni and papa hong photo. and during 4 minute performace,  joonkuni came in front of the stage, which is only like 50cm away from me, yes that mean i could touch him if i want too. alin and i showed our banner and scream "joonkuni oppaaaaaa" lol.. and he look at us, and with a too-confident-expression, he gestured us to pay attention on 4 minute stage...

the funny part is everyone around us confuse, why were we screaming, and they asked us, who is that? lol. no one know him, but he acted like he is famous..lol.lol... well, alin and i met him too at the airport and he said "aigo", he was so surprised with indonesian 4nia welcome..hahaha.. and then what more surprising  was on the next day he tweeted "indonesia have the best reaction" lol.lol.lol. i can't wait for another cube artist and their troll manager to come to indonesia.. united cube concert !!!!! ><

and on way home, my dad called me like 3 times in 45 minutes.. at home, he angry at me, cause i came home very late.. and at the morning of my graduation day, my parents went to their school first to fill their presence list. i've told them to be home before 6, because i haven't done my make up, and i cant do my own make up. but they got home at 6.15.. and so, that's my turn to get angry at them..hahaha..

here are some of my graduation photoshoot:

graduation, yes, it one of your precious moment. but the process of it, thesis, presentation, examination are way more important. the day of 23 july 2012 will be remembered as one of my greatest day^^

and oh, the title yesterday came from the new song that shinsandong tiger produced. it sang by dynamic black team for sbs gayo daejun. jinwoon+leejoon+gikwang+hoya sing ir live perfectly, and lee joon, i didn't expect he have such a nice voice. but, too bad their rapper l.joe can't sing his rap part live. i really want to hear the rap part sing by yong junhyung.. ><

Dujunnie rang durie~

So, recently, there are many bad rumors regarding beast, their comeback, album sales, style, fans etc. and i decided to write this. a very honestful story about how, me, a fangirl, know and fall into Beast. I hope haters can read this, and know that beauty choose the right idol.

Hmm... Actually, Beast is not a group that made me know and love kpop. I know and love kpop because of other group. At that time, i was so into that group. I mean, i confess that they are really good at everything, and me as the newbie in kpop i really melted by all their skills.

One day, i was streaming the comeback stage of that group. The MC of the show mentioning the chart list, and Beast-Fiction is on the top 10. Me, who was always interested in sth a bit unusual, think that Beast is a very unique name, and their song title Fiction made me curious of what does the song about. I said to  my self, let's find out more about them later.

At that time i was too mesmerized by that 1st kpop group i liked, and the plan to look out for beast and the fiction inside them is forgotten. But, the faith of me and beast isn't over yet. I once streams a bora of Kiss The Radio, and they played Beast-Fiction, and i remembered my old curiousity about beast. That was my first time hearing Beast-Fiction, and yes Fiction is my 1st Beast song. My 1st impression about Fiction is "hmm.. this song kinda good. it's not too slow and not too upbeat". So, i decide to download the Music Video. During this time i also found out that Beast's fan club name is Beauty, and their album title is Fiction and Fact. and i think those are really really cutee, and unique.

I'm not an easy to persuade person. It took more than a semester for me to finally liking kpop. And it also happens at Beast thing. I watched Fiction MV,

and i was like "aaahhh.. this boyband isn't handsome.. they are strange.. they are too old to be boyband.. my 1st kpop group still the best." that's really an honest comments from me. But, again, i'm interested in a unique thing, and i personally think that the face of Beast's member is very unique, and Fiction is a catchy song too, so i kept the MV in my laptop. But i keep on fangirling my 1st kpop group.

From my 1st kpop group, i got many friends from all over the world, and some of them are really close to me. we created a FB group consist of many people from many countries that like that group. We like to play many things, a quiz and also role player. We once played a role player as the members of my 1st kpop group. I play as my bias in that 1st group. But, the member of the FB group increasing at time, and we need more character to play. So, one of  my friends decided to add Gikwang as the character. Me, i don't know who is Gikwang, but, again, his name, Gikwang sounds a bit unique to me, Gikwang sounds like Giwang, an Indonesia word means earrings. so i do google, and found out that Gikwang is one of the member of Beast.

And after that i searched for Beast profile, and found one on Kaskus. And i was really really shocked while read their profile. Remember, i once told you that Beast members looks so strange and too old. The strange one is Yoseob, because his nose is kinda weird for an idol, and the old ones are Dujun and Hyunseung. I really thought that Dujun is a lot older than Super Junior Leeteuk. and guess what, Dujun is the oldest in beast and he is the leader of Beast, and he was born in 1989 which is only one year older than me !!! and that means other members are younger that him. that's really shocking me. I also thought that Yoseob, except the fact that his nose is strange, is the maknae, but actually Dongwoon is the maknae. Okay, i started to think that this group is interesting.

Then, i go back to Fiction music video, to find out, which one is who. and i can only acknowledge which one is YS (by his nose), GK (by his short, neat hair), JS (by his red hair). and i cant differentiate junhyung, dongwoon and dujun. I didn't stop, i thought that like my 1st kpop group, beast should've have a live performance video. So, i look for that and my 1st Fiction live performance video was this
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgr5lqYTnAY

At that video, Gikwang was super hot. He is so handsome, cute and muclesfull, so i decided that okay, he is my bias in Beast. Gikwang is the 1st Beast's member i followed on twitter.

And i keep listen and listen to Fiction. then i started to fall in love with Dujun's intro part and Junhyung's rap. I keep on listening, but korean was very hard for me at that time, so i still cant sing it, and don't have any motivation to learn to sing. and i also found the video of them singing fiction live in a radio without any background music. and their voice were really great. very great. all the members have the same voice qualities. and i also found this picture of YS and DW

and kyaaaa.. YS is soo cutee.. ><  hahha

fiction is way too cool that i even imagine to perform it live with my dewi, kinan, and tara. i was like "it'd be cool if we can sing and dance to it live". lol.lol..hahha.. so, i finally learn to sing this song, also the rap part. hmmm... ever since junior high school, i always interested in rap, or, singing fastly (singing fastly, i called it that way, cause idk any techniques how to rap, i just sing the words fastly). i never like any specific rapper, but there's some of old 90s western boybands, have "fast to sing" song, like A1-Too Bad Baby, and C21-Deep Down. And i can follow their "fast singing" beat. so, it isn't impossible to learn, and yes, i finally can sing the whole song of Fiction. and once, kinan, tara, and i went to a karaoke, i sang Fiction.

Kinan and Tara like to sang many korean songs that i don't know at that time and i mostly sing western boyband songs. if we want to sing korean song together it'd be my 1st kpop group songs. the only Korean song that i know, and they don't know is Fiction. So, i decided to look more for Beast's song. so i can sing more korean songs. and i found On Rainy Days.

the 1st on rainy days video i got is their performance in inkigayo, and on that performance they really sing it nicely with a real rain pouring on them. and i was kyaaaa.. that is water, water, and they sing under the rain.. cool. and the member i pay more attention on in this video is not Gikwang, but Dujun. I've told you that i really like people with unique face. I really like Filippo Inzaghi, AC Milan's football player, a lot, and my friends couldn't get the idea of how can i liking an old and not handsome guy like that, while there are kaka and shevchenko who are young, handsome, and skillfull. and i think this law of attraction also applied to Dujun.

His face, there aren't any attractiveness at all, but i like the way he stand, i think he really cool. He really look like a man. Hmmm.. if you know a Taiwan drama "They Kissed Again", the main character, the doctor (husband), is a man that seems like hating his wife, and he seems like don't care at all at her. but, there are time when he secretly taking care of here, with a very cute care, very sweet. and i think Dujun has that kind of image. and.. I really like that type of man ;_____; and on that On Rainy Days video i saw Gikwang is really short compared to other members. hahhaha.. that makes me "ilfil" a bit.

until that time my feeling to Dujun and beast still in phase of "they are interesting and makes me curious". My main fandom is still the 1st kpop group.

Because of my curiousity, i keep on searching more about Beast, other song, i found Soom, Shock, and Say No. and those songs are really catchy and suits my ear. well, im not fall to that song on the 1st time i listen to it, but if i listen to it again and again, my ear start to get comfortable and addict to it. kyakyakyakya. and Yoon Dujun, his getting more and more attractive. One day, i told tara about Beast, and i showed her On Rainy Days performance, and Tara asked which member is your bias in Beast, and guess what i answered "Dujun, the leader" kyakyakyakya.. hahahha. Tara also told me that there's other cool video where Dujun and Dongwoon duet, and played piano, the song titled "When the door closes". Tara had known kpop earlier than me, and she also known Beast, but she's not really into Beast.

So after that, i keep on Beast-ing my self. I download many variety shows, other videos, and while watching for my 1st kpop group performance i also keep on eye on Beast performance, i started to look for Beast's forum. and i'm getting to know more about Dujun.. aww... i love him.. i love the way he dress, he like to use casual and loose t shirt, i like how he is so sloppy and he always said he treats woman like a stone..kyaaa.. that really match my imagination of his character.. >< He is so manly.. >< ><

and other members has interesting personality and skills too. i once said that their vocal quality is almost the same, and their dance skill is actually very good too, and every member can dance very well. i downloaded Soom dance practice, and wow... wow.. wow.. even YS, who i thought the weakest member in dance, can dance that difficult choreo very well.. they have a great sync in both singing and dancing as a group. and Yong Junhyung.. oh my, he can writes such a very beautiful lyrics. i searched the translation of Fiction and On Rainy Days, and the parts of

"I'm a writer that lost his purpose, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You, i kept on writing these 3 words"

and

"Well, it doesn't mean that i miss you, no it doesn't mean that. It just, the memories we had are a bit sharp"

are really cute.. ;_____; and deep and meaningful. Dongwoon and Gikwang personality are very cute too.. they are really babo.. super babo..hahha.. Hyunseung, hahha.. he is really jjang. beside his super great dancing and singing skill, his 4D personality is really cute too. i had a video of Idol Maid, where he took driver lisence's test and he kept on lying that he hasn't study yet.. and the PD edited the video of him saying "gojitmal,  gojitmal, gojitmal" on and on,, that is so funny, and how he rap "Tian mimi, ni xiao ni de tian mimi" on MBC show is really amuse both me and other Beast member.. kyaaa.. i like them the best. hahhaa


that was around September-November 2011. I was a loner fans of Beast, and I keep Beast, Beauty as my 2nd fandom. I want to cheer them a lot, but i kinda don't have friends..hahhaaha. that time is the time of my PPL in 78 shs. I met a student that also a kpop fans, and we like the same group, my 1st kpop group. we had a lil talk bout kpop, and we both agree that beside my 1st kpop group, Beast is a very great boyband too.

and during late November-December 2012, i get close to Alin and Aru. We had plan to travel to Singapore, so we met each other a lot. During that time, i ask them about Beast. Well, alin and aru were a pro at kpop, hahhaha.. tara and them are the ones that influenced me to these kpop things. I asked Alin whether she knew beast, she said she didn't know, and when I asked Aru, she said she knew some Beast's songs, and She said they have many great songs.. yes, i agree on that. and there's a time, they came to my house, and i showed them Beast's pictures. and their rection was like "YS is very cuteee...." I showed them Beast's performance and they said they like it. At that day, Alin made up her self that YS is her bias.lol.  And i'm happy cause i finally got beauty mates. and with them, i can express my self and share my feelings about Beast. and we are getting more and more in love with Beast. we've been through a lot. we recorded ourselves sang "on rainy days" on Marina Bay, in front of Light and Water Spectacular Show. We sang Beast songs every night on our hotel room. and we went to Beautiful Show in Indonesia.. and that night, March, 17th 2012 was one of the beast nigth in my life, and i believe it was one of the best night for alin and aru too. after the concert, they hugged me and thanked me for introducing beast to them. hahaha.. i never thanked them for introducing kpop to me..lol..

and now, i'm proud to say that Beauty is my main fandom, and I am so in love with beast, and i'm happy to know them. and i will continue supporting them, and by their side along the rest journey. :)

So, what can you get from this?

First, I'm not fall in love with Beast because of their handsome look. no, beast member isn't handsome. But each of the member have a very great skill of singing and dancing. and they can sync them very well, so every song they sing and every choreo they dance will become pretty great.

and so because of that, the 2nd is, Beast really sell their song, they work really hard on every song, and that resulted many people, even the one that already got a main fandom, start to like them. and their album "Fiction and Fact" i read lots of comments from non beauty people (i read many in Youtube channels that do song parody) that said "This album is the only album which i like ALL the songs in it". NADO !!!

i've listened to Westlife, A1, Backstreet boys,etc. and  i had their album, but, yes, there are some songs that really bored me, and im always skip that song everytime i play the album. for example, i don't really like the song "I cry" and "Bob BOb Baby" from Westlife's World of Our Own album. I don't like "The Things We Never Did" song from A1's The A List album.  but, Fiction and Fact is different. there are always some parts that are so catchy, so that i don't want to miss it. I cried at the 1st time i heard and watched You performance. that was really cute. I like DJ and JH parts on Freeze. i like the part of "Don't you tell me why Don't let me down" etc etc etc.

and the 3rd, they have great personality and team work, and cube is a very great entertaiment agent. Beast sleep together, 6 of them, in the same room. so u can imagine how close they are. GK and YS were school mates, also, GK, DJ, YS, and DW once trained together in JYP. they know each other very well, and i never hear there's a fight between them. even though GK and DJ were so busy, even JH has more money cause he wrote lyrics, they still support each other, and they bring Beast name every where they go. YS even help JH to sing as the guide of the song JH's write for free, and DJ, as the leader, he really care other members and support them a lot. and they are soo close to their parents. i mean very close that until now, their parents still gathering at Cube to talk about their schedule and their parents still taking care of thier money. Even the scariest person, JH, he still daddy cute son. hhahahaa.. Son Ilrak, Dongwoon father, he really cares about Beast and Beauty a lot. He really protects us, and oh my, i never saw any father of boyband member do this. Son Ilrak appa, he knew a bad rumor of Beast, that even only spread out on internet. even alkpop didn't write it on their site, and i don't even think that Beast themselves knew the rumors. but Son Ilrak knew, and he wrote on his cyworld about this. He is defending us with his genius words.. kyaaa.. so proud of him and really thankful.. ><

Because of these reasons and facts. i really don't understand, how can Beast have haters. they are too kind and too perfect. Just an enviousness that can make people hates them. So now, I just can pray that Beast will continue progressing and Beauty will grow stronger. and me, i hope i can see them again, and i wsih for a chance to say directly to them how thankful i am for knowing them. amin.




hahhaha.. what a long post. see ya. :)

how if my husband is the next president of South Korea

hhmmmm.. Son Ilrak, dongwoon's father just update his cyworld, and this cut of his post really, really, really~~~

There one person who is a friend of mine who deserves a compliment.

It’s BEAST’s leader,
nation’s boyfriend idol,
rock-thighs 

Yoon Doojoon, who is so popular these days that even his name appears in song lyrics.

I happened to watch a video of BEAST arriving at the fan meeting location.

Watching the video, I saw Doojoon, who was leading the boys saying "We can’t be under the shade when B2UTIES are in the sun" as he was walking out of the shade.

Those were his words.
No one made him say it.
It wasn’t even a scene he had acted out before.

I am confident that was BEAST’s natural feeling they have for B2UTIES.

The moment I saw that, I felt an infinite amount of confidence in Doojoon.

Shouldn’t all leaders in the world essentially be like him?

I might be wondering off topic, but I thought how great it would be if the “great” politicians of our country resembled Doojoon. Even at least 25%.

yes, that is my Yoon Doojoon, the  stupid dorky man that i've always talk about.

 

hhhmmm... will he ever run for South Korea president someday? if i happen to be his wife, how will i manage it?? 키키키키키키~~~

Thanks to

so, im actually got nothing to do right now. still can not believe most of the process is done. and ah, feel like i was in the dreamland. hehhehe :D

and well, i finally made it to these part, the part where i have to write "Lembar Persembahan". kkkk.. :p i'm kinda waiting for it. most of my friends already made it before sidang. but, me, i wait till sidang officially finished..hahhahaha~

what i write there? i used lots of lyrics from beast's songs. thanks to, lights go on again, you, and oasis. then i write names of important people in my life.. im actually a bit confuse how to start writing it, but, well, i need to finished it, so, i'll just write whatever i want.. hahaha.. 

well, thank you everyone~~ :D
