Happy days!

Filed under: Memories — Astrid @ 3:01 pm

Yippie…my father is coming to town, hehe (sounds like ‘SantaClaus is Coming to Town’ song). Finally I can meet him again, tomorrow in Düsseldorf!!! He’ll have his busy schedules in Munich for a week, so I’ll meet him again next Friday there. And then we will have our days out travelling around the cities, huhuhu… happy days are coming, right!Too bad that my Mom and my youngest brother couldn’t come with him. My brother still has his schoolexams and…yea…he doesn’t want to be leaved alone. So, it will be just the four of us: Me, Meta, Arka and my father.

Now, I gotta prepare all the things I want to bring to Düsseldorf. I gotta catch the train at 15.00, too. Can’t wait for tomorrow! (more…)

Hallo, Hamburg!

Filed under: Travelling — Astrid @ 4:52 pm

Finally one day out on Saturday, kali ini menuju ke… Hamburg!
Hamburg adalah salah satu dari 16 negara bagian dan sekaligus kota kedua terbesar di Jerman (hmmm…kota pertama terbesarnya kota apa yah? Berlinkah? :p). Keinginan untuk mampir ke kota Hamburg sebenernya udah ada sejak tahun lalu, tapi belum sempet-sempet aja kesana, makanya kemaren seneng banget akhirnya bisa kesana. Meskipun cuma sekilas pandangan mata aja di kotanya, tapi udah cukup puas bisa jalan-jalan lagi.Seperti biasanya setiap weekend selalu tersedia tiket kereta murah sebesar 30 Euro untuk perjalanan Pulang-Pergi, plus dijatah buat 5 orang! Cuma tiketnya gak berlaku di kereta IC dan ICE (yaahh, kenapa sih?! #*@#&!. Jadi optionnya ya kereta yang berjalan dengan lambaaaaannnn skali, hehe. (more…)

MUST WATCH Movie

Filed under: Movie — Astrid @ 4:52 pm

This film is awesome!!!
Semakin saya menikmati filmini, semakin pengen cepet-cepet liburan, haha. Terutama film terbaru yang dimainin sama Mr.Bean: “Mr.Bean’s Holiday”, it really deserves the greatest film of the year! Memang si Rowan Atkinson idenya kreatif banget. It’s like you are watching a child growing in a man’s body. Film-filmnya Mr.Bean gak pernah berubah! Semua serba bikin gregetan kalo nonton. Sesuatu hal yang menurut kita mudah untuk diselesaiin, dibikin sedikit ‘ribet’ sama dia, haha. Satu hal yang paling bikin terharu adalah alur ceritanya yang sederhana. Kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang sering kita anggap gak penting, ternyata it really means so much to other people. Mr.Bean bener-bener nunjukkin kalo dia punya hati yang baik banget, very helpful, friendly and innocent.. (more…)

Naughty Amsterdam

Filed under: Travelling — Astrid @ 4:50 pm

For those who bumble along for being in Amsterdam before, I know how you feel, haha. I was there last weekend by the way, quite an interesting experience for a 26 years old me.

Ups, did I say 26? Next month I’m gonna be 27! Huaa… I am not cute anymore!
In fact, I am fat.

So, Amsterdam huh?
When I was five years old I was living in Amsterdam, too, for a while. With my parents, of course, who else?!

I must be cute at that time, unlike today, I am fat.

I can’t remember all the things I’ve seen, but my mother used to tell me stories about my childhood. Bringing Amsterdam up to my memory again. There are also some photos of me wearing this stripped soft coloured dress and a birthday hat, giving some birthday bags to my classmates at Kindergarten. I guess I had my birthday party at that moment.

What a mooron. Of course, it was my birthday! See, it is distructing me that I’m fat. I can’t even write a good sentence.There are also other photos of me wearing a red winter jacket, biting one of my finger in front of a landscape-which-I-don’t-know-where. That red winter jacket was really a good friend of mine. I can see it from almost the photos I’ve seen, haha.However I think that my parents are really a good parents. They used to take me with a bike to the park, feeding some swans and ducks, or just staying at home, drawing. They made me such a good kid who just knows about parks, legoland, and trams. Until 21 years later, I can see the real Amsterdam, wahahaha (the devil is laughing). (more…)

Girlfriend-only Conversations

Filed under: Friends — Astrid @ 4:49 pm

‘You are getting married?!!’, Zee asked in panic. But then rapidly she changed her surpriseness by huging me and saying ‘Congratulations sista!’, and finally there were tears in her eyes.Wow, she really feels happy for me. That must be happy tears.

‘But, I will be alone when you leave this country, how could you?!!’, she continued.

Oh, wow, is she happy or angry now? (more…)
