[Field Trip #1] From CGK to SIN

most of content of this story was based on my diary journal that I submitted to my lecturer, yesterday. Hope you feel my journey to Singapore!

Date : May 13, 2012
Location : Jakarta and Singapore

11.00
At this time, all of students, Pak Pri, Parent, and the person from Travel Agent gathered in Soekarno Hatta International Airport Terminal 2. After I got boarding pass, I farewell with my parent. It has been awhile for traveling abroad since my last time to go to Amsterdam last year, as an exchange student from SBM ITB.

Our flight actually still on 16.35, but as we know immigration and walking to the waiting room definitely takes time, so that is why we came early.

mom-me-dad

On Board

There was minor delay at that time, but still acceptable. My partner for this time, at flight are Astrid and Andra. We both sit in the middle row.

The weather at that time was cloudy and some shocks when the airplane hit the air.

17.35

We landed safely on Changi International Airport Singapore. After done with immigration, i took my luggage. Then, we moved to parking lot and went to hotel, Parc Sovereign in Little India by mini bus.

The funny things when on the way to hotel, somehow when the mini bus run in high speed, and somehow it also shacked constantly to right and to left, just like dance. I really do not know whether it because the condition of the road or there was something wrong with the mini bus. In the bus, Pak Pri gave us the framework of what we are going to do for the next days. I really excited with this field trip, cause I really want to know about the real cross cultural that happen in Singapore, about the Singapore Management University and also want to hear experiences from IA-ITB Singapura.

19.00
Free time. Me and my friends went to Orchard Road for shopping. There was five of us, and a bit of disaster when we cannot communicate each other because we do not have phone number (we usually using blackberry messenger) and three of my friends were not activate their BB International Roaming. But, Thank God.. we can meet again and continue our journey of shopping to another places.

22.00
We were starving and most of the restaurant already closed. After gathered with friends from other group such as Rido, Faris, Eko, etc. then we walked to Wendy’s in Orchard Road that open 24 hours.

I ate baked potato and chili for supper yummy!

22.40
Then we went back to our hotel in Little India by MRT. We were a little bit in a rush because MRT daily operation always closed on 23.00.

23.00
We arrived at Little India MRT Station. In here there are a lot of Indians. For a moment, i felt like I’m traveling to Calcuta, not Singapore.

00.00
After take a bath, i went to sleep with my friends. My roommates is Astrid and Rike.

[Day 12] Barcelona, Baby!

07.12

Kucek-kucek mata*

Wowww! Bercelona! Asa mimpi kemaren saya masih di Italy looooh! Hehehe

Hal yang pertama saya lakukan:

Abis mandi, shalat, siap2 deh buat sarapan..

AMAZINGGG!

Baru pertama kalinya saya nginep di hostel yang dikasih breakfast segini ‘heboh’nya..

Aaaaa..feels like home banget nih!

Pertama saya makan roti 1 lembar dengan butter dan sugar.

Trus koko krunch+susu merk lokal..

Trus minum orange juice

Trus makan mini vanilla muffin hhihi banyaak banget yaah!

Alhamdulillah kenyaaang..

my super breakfast!

08.30
Ngecheck twitter ternyata kaka’ sepupu saya udah mau dateng ke hostel.. Saya dan temen-temen pun udah siap..

09.00
Hemm..ternyata blum dateng juga.. Akhirnya kita pun sms-an..

mana matahari-nya ?

Jujur aja kocak baca sms ini hhehehehe kayak kembali ke jaman dahulu.. Saya pun cari-cari mana nih matahari? Setelah ketemu saya dan teman-teman mencoba menyusuri jalan.. Dan tiba-lah di suatu persimpangan..

Di diagonal suatu perempatan.. Itu kayaknya mereka!!! Dan kami pun melambaikan tangan sambil sama2 memegang peta hahaha khas turis banget!

Aaaaahh..senenggg.. Ketemu juga akhirnya sama kedua sepupu saya.

Guess what? Ini ketiga kali-nya saya ketemu sama kakak sepupu, dan baru kedua kalinya saya ketemu sama adek sepupu.. Hhihi

So, perkenalkan.. Ini kedua sepupu saya. Bang Ado dan Kiki. Bang Ado lagi post-graduate di Bergen, Norway dan Kiki kuliah di Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Kami sepupuan loh! Mirip gak? haha

Waktu kapan tuh yaa..kita lagi bbm-an cerita2 tentang liburan akhir tahun.. Eh ngga’ disangka2.. Kita punya jadwal hari di barcelona yang sama!!! Dan akhirnya janjian..

Let’s goooo!

Destination 1: ngantri buat ke Sagrada Familia

Antrian kesini lumayan panjaaaaang.. Tapi jadi ngga’ kerasa karna Bang Ado..membawa perbekalan cukup banyak hahaha jadinya kita sambil nunggu, sambil ngemil hehe

Setelah beli tiket seharga…lupa! hahaha haduh maaf yang jelas belasan euro dan dibawah 20 euro

Kami pun masuk ke dalam-nya …

Udah keliling-keliling di dalam kami pun lanjut ke antrian berikut-nya.. Naik lift buat ke bagian atas dari Sagrada Familia

tiket naik lift ada jam-nya!

ketika bule ngalay

hero behind Sagrada Familia

Diatas view-nya bagus juga lhoo.. Kita bisa ngeliat sekumpulan orang-orang lagi dance, dan alhamdulillah cuaca hari itu ceraaaaah bangeeet jadi PAS buat foto2! #dasar

Destination 2: Lunch at Lactuca!

pas lagi jalan menuju tempat lunch saya menemukan ini!

enak aja ngatain papa ‘BASI’ ?? haha

BASI??? -___- hahaha

well, akhirnya Saya, Sania dan Katherin memutuskan buat makan Buffet seharga 8,95 euro (cukup affordable loh! maklum budget makan biasanya 10-an euro hehe )

nyam2.. kacaau banget deh! pasta, pizza, ice cream, risotto, salad, smuanyaaaa bebass sesuka perut kita hahaha -__-”

Destination 3: ke Hard Rock Cafe
Hmmm..letak-nya di tengah kota banget niih! Trus buat kenang2an saya beli kaos hhihi kapan lagi ke Barcelona?

Selama di Barcelona ini, sempet parno gitu soalnya ada yang bilang tingkat kriminalitas di kota ini cukup tinggi dibandingin kota-kota di belahan eropa lain.. Tapi Alhamdulillah aman-aman aja..

Hard Rock Cafe with Kiki and Kak Ado

Tips: Pake Money belt di dalam perut buat nyimpen passport, uang, dan credit card / debit card dan taruh uang di beberapa tempat

Destination 4: Jalan -jalan aja di pusat kota

sebenernya kayak gak ada destinasi khusus lagi setelah ngeliat Gereja yang katanya fenomenal, tapi biasa aja.. atau ke gedung yang katanya wah! karena warna-nya tapi hmm yaa.. begitu aja.. nothing special hahaha

mungkin karena saya juga udah di akhir dari vacation trip agak2 jenuh juga buat foto2 (hahaha agak loh! jadi biasanya saya over photo2 hahhaa)

sampai pada akhirnya ngelewatin satu stand yang jual tiket tour camp ke NOU CAMP, Barcelona FC!! setelah nimbang-nimbang.. heeemm.. beli aja deh! waktu buat kesana katanya sii masih ada dan kebetulan Sania juga tertarik! Yes! ada temen!

Nah, setelah beli tiket kita gak langsung ke Nou Camp melainkan ke sebuah travel agent buat beli tiket bus ke Madrid (besoknya saya sama Katherin ada jadwal ke Madrid)

ngokss! beli tiket bus aja lama bangeeeeet! fyuuh! walhasil kami semua lari luntang lantung ngejar ke MRT terdekat biar masih bisa masuk ke museum di Barcelona FC..

turun dari MRT masih laaarriiii laagii.. hahahaha haddoh harus diakui lari adalah kelemahan saya.. dan Sania + Kiki (yang alumni Taruna Nusantara Senior High School) mempunyai fisik yang kuat.. disusul Bang Ado dan Katherin.

di tengah lari-lari super gempor.. Bang Ado ngambil tiket dari saya biar dia check-in-nin dlu, paling ngga’ nahan biar jangan di tutup dlu museumnya! (*menunduk2* terima kasihh Bang Adooooo!)

THANK GOD! perjalanan super gempor tidak berakhir sia2.. museum masih terbuka lebaaaarrr

eh saya, dapet audio guide FREE loh! asik yaaa.. trus mulai muter2 deh.. nah yuk ikut short tour bareng saya

berdoa dulu sebelum bertanding

yah Om Pep udah gak di barca

bahkan ada kripik barca

behind the toilet door! meeen.. alay bgt -__-”

wohooo! akhirnya beres juga ngelilingin museum Barcelona FC terima kasih sangat banyak untuk Bang Ado, Kiki dan Katherin yang setia menunggu di souvenir shop.. pasti garing bgt gara2 lamaa :’( maaafff..

Nah hari kian menjelang malam.. trus penasaran kalo gak salah sii pergi ke Plaza Catalunya.. ehh air mancur yang dicari entah kenapa tidak beroperasi -__-” trus ya udah deh jalan-jalan mendaki tangga2 (eum.. lebih tepatnya naik escalator sih) sampai maleeeemmm banget jam 9-an apa yaah.. baru kita late dinner!

sambil jalan ketemu ini..

wihiii! Fira in Barcelona

abis dinner jalan2 di park dan foto sama ini..

abis itu pulang deh ke hostel, rada-rada gempor karena ternyata jalanan yang dilewatin walopun udah di jalan yg benar tapi no. hostel yg dituju masih jaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh..

Overall, Barcelona itu must visit city in Spain.. more than Madrid kalo menurut saya karena eumm.. apa yah? banyak tourism attractions, aman-aman aja kok, trus nyaman dilengkapi infrastruktur yang lebih oke dari Italy, dan lebih lowong dibandingin Madrid yang super crowded

hooo.. at last, terima kasih kepada kedua sepupu saya yang menyempatkan bertemu dan liburan bersama di Barcelona, sabar nungguin selama di museum, dan berjalan2 random di Barcelona hhehehe.. hopefully, we can spend another holiday in another place, will ya?

dan for my-partner-while-traveling Sania dan Katherin… haaaaa i miss to spend my holiday with both of you! we should go somewhere soon!

See you in another stories!

Good News! New Page!

hi.. hello everyone!

I’m so glad.. that last vacation to Singapore was AWESOME! We really need vacation regularly, folks! However, now I’m still struggling to finish my diary journal and the group project as homework from the last field trip Anyway, I just want to inform you that I add a new page for this blog called, “File Sharing”.

I will fill with some documents, pdf, word, or others that might informative for you. The first file sharing is my previous presentation for my junior in SBM ITB about preparation to study abroad, especially when the destination is to Groningen.

Hope it will give you some insights!

So, ta-ta for now!
