DREAM TRAPPER

 

Haiiiiiiiiiii!!!! watashi desu!!! mou, ohisashiburi jyanai desuka?

Sou da ne… mada mada wasuretetta!

Aaa!!! Ano… kyou wa atashi no kimochi sugokuu hontou ni kanashii desu!

Naze desuka? Sou, kore da ne…

 

hahaha….don’t you understand what am I saying? nope. so do I. I just said it ramdomnly.

Oke, if I translate it, it would be like this. I am feeling so sad.

You know exactly what I mean.

Yes. It’s still regarding the latest issue. the DD program. and my ruined heart. LOL. in case you forget read here

Finally my friends, 4 of them. Ugun, Septa, Adel, and Indra got the DD scholarship in Mie Univ, Japan.

That’s my dream that will never be filled. Because now I’m here, in my graduate course and have to graduate soon as what that scholarship giver say it to me. Here. In my Indonesia Campus and try to get my master – M.Il, Master Ilmu Lingkungan (Master of Environmentalist –eng) soon.

Yes, I’ve to work hard to achieve that for next months later. Wish me luck minna <3

But, I can not lie, I can not hide that I really wanna study in Japan badly and try to be graduated in Japanese Podium, Japanese Ceremonial and Using Japanese outfit for graduation, and also a Parchment about my license in Japanese!!!! aaaaa… it’s so dorama-ish. I wanna try that one!!! LOL.

Fortunately or unfortunately, idk which one is right, I can not afford that for my master degree.

Then my only chance is must get PhD from Japan, but PhD is too long 3-4 years and it will takes years which commonly ordinary Indonesian girl like me have to continue her life such as marriage toka have children toka have permanent job toka arimasu.

Tbh I can study master again if I want, in my mayor that I wanna study it badly. Biomedical. but I have spent this time for so long, so I don’t wanna waste my time and choose this way, that Allah has choose for me.

yes. I will continue my concern as environmentalist. hope this mayor could bring me to make sustainable environment for humankind and also for my allowance/money. LOL.

OK, back to the real reason why I wrote this.

Anyway, I still couldn’t move on. Mada Shinjirarenai naaa Atashi.

I still couldn’t believe if I wasn’t choosed as DD’s candidate, I say I’m the diligent-est and smartest among my friends *liar* or maybe that’s the truth. I become someone who feel overconfident and in the end, God punished me to makes me wake up if there’re power that stronger than me or strongest among all. God,Allah SWT.

so I understood if the time wasn’t mine. I couldn’t do anything as I want.

Forgive me ya Allah, Yaa Razak. Yaa Ghafuur.

Hence, to healing this “pain” I try to move closer to my God, try to be nice and listen people’s suggestion about healing my heart’s hurt.

at first I have an Idea to letting go my dreams off. but… now… I realized, I Have to keep this dreams until it’s becomes true. But don’t make it with high expectation or I will fall down down down again.

there’s a quote : “simple things become complicated when you expect too much”

So OK. I will obey that rule, with stay putting my dream hanging and I’ll try to reach it.

Back to this tittle “dream trapper” what was that?

Actually idk what was that for exactly, it’s just my terminology that I made to make a hope/motivation inside myself.

I always say if I am the dream catcher, so I will do that, but…. my thesis of  collecting insect using a trap give me an idea. How if I catch my dream using a trap?

OK, you’ll think I’m insane indeed, but, psychologically or religiously, finally I found a way.

Dream = work + pray + luck.

Dream = pray/work/luck.

I did all of that formulas, in the end, I failed twice ; first when I have no pray, 2nd when I have no luck/pray.

So, after I read some publication, in the end I knew if pray is the most important thing than all, I mean it must be no.1 priority.

In my religion, we knew if word could be turn into pray, and we need to ask Allah to guide us in the right way.

because of that, all the fails plan that makes me down is Allah’s way to wake me if there’s something to be founded by me down there and use it to go upper.

And there’s some stories that mentioned if word finally turned to be reality.

So I will do a game about dat, ups I mean an experiment.

I will write my dreams here, and let’s see if this thing could turn into reality or not. this one I called it, a trapper. OK. I will update and cite this article if one of these dream comes true. but if it wasn’t I will update it too. actually there’s no limited times to say, but I will try for one year first.

I am in Kinkakuji, Kyoto. My lovely city and I hope will live in there someday.

What dream that will be written? Ok here we go…. (now, all this dream is related to my passion to take a degree above master level. Ok, I said here we go again.

1. I wanna go to Japan again this year!!! (2015)!

2. This autumn and winter in 2015, I will go to Japan again (esp. Kyoto).

3. I will have PhD in Japan

4. I will take PhD from Kyoto University.

5. or, I will take PhD from Mie University, if they are offering me again for the 3rd times!

6. If Mie University offered again for the PhD to me, it means it’s 3rd times and there’s no reason for rejected it again.

OK only those things those things tha I wanna say, keep calm and keep healthy minna

Wish me luck, if I win then I will share my happiness to to you guys and I’ll pray for you  = my best friend.

My Feeling back-now-forward

 

Hi, this is me again, I abandoned my not-so-beautiful blog.

I wrote some, but then I left it, now I will continue that one but I will explain it with the concerned condition.

This was written at 24 Dec 2014. 16 : 11

“I still couldn’t believe with was I going through to this so far.

If I recalled one back year. In this month one year ago, It’s officially announced if I was accepted as a master student in this environmental study major. Yes. one step closer!!! One step Closer with my dream!!!

My dream is I wanna go to Japan, life in Japan and study in Japan.

Eh? what’s the relation between I was enrolled in PSMIL Unpad and going to Japan.

Hmm... there’s one.

This PSMIL Unpad has a program, called Double Degree Program regarding environmental study, one in Twentee Univ, Netherland and the other one in Mie University, Japan. Fortunately I enrolled for DD Mie Course. Then... Yeay!!!! It’s only one step again!!! One step until I reach my dream!!!

Month by Month has passed, I don’t want to say this but, finally I made very good improvement in my college, you can say me maybe I am a student who got very good result in my academic…. |”

OK. that’s the ending.. at that time I seriously broken into pieces until I couldn’t continue my write.

I will continue what the reason then, this time, my mental condition feel better than last time I wrote.

Here we go..

“Yes, me. I made improvement on my academic result. I did everything seriously. I try to be selected for DD candidate who’s allowed to get double degree and live in Japan for one year.

but destiny told it ways.

In the middle of my study, there’s a chance to get short course to Tokyo University, unfortunately just my friend who has been chosen and not me. I ever post it in here read me

Then, I feel my self ruined. I try to explain that too in that post.

I am telling everything and I am healing myself then I focused on my goal and reset up my mind.

You know, it worked! at that time I just laid my self to Allah destiny, then few weeks after…. my lecturer offered me another program to stay in Japan for 40 days in MIE UNIVERSITY.

OMG, Allah proved me that I’ve to be grateful for whatever that I have.

And I officially landed my self in Japan land on October 29. 2014. I will post that later.

But you know what, 41 days next after, I’m back home to Indonesia and guessed what?

The deadline for applying DD was so close with my arrival date!

And I didn’t prepare anything yet!

Um, tbh, actually I already knew about that when I almost depart from Indonesia to Japan. At that time, I was called if the deadline is a time when I was in japan.

Like an egg who’s laying on the edge of the thorn. I’m gonna die. Bye bye my dream.

You know why, it’s because my planned has ruined, or it was not according to the plan.

TOEFL test. crappy, heck, dammit. bloody howl.

I failed again. first I thought the TOEFL test that I took just before I went to Japan will pay success for me, but it wasn’t.

I’m crying, I just regret my self for not studying hard or didn’t took the TOEFL test long time before I went and get the qualified score. STUPID ME.

But I promise my self if my journey wouldn’t go like this, hey-ho! I will going to Japan, I’m not supposed to be sad, am I?

Then after I arrived in Japan, I try to lobby whoever who attach this DD program both in Indonesia and Japan. Thanks godness I have second chance. Everyone support me.

Even my Supervisor in Japan insist me to always studying English. But you know, I think I poorly could understand English. How can I… the one who get course in English before but still not passed, could learn English by my own self? alone?

I think it was really impossible.

Then, you know, I ever feel embarassed, because I caught up when I watch ‘Kindaichi-Anime’ instead of study English. “Sensei, trust me, I studied! just take a bit rest because I didn’t understand anything T_T”

I owe my sensei’s support.

In Japan, I also owe big help from my Indonesian friend in Mie (PPI MIE) who take deep pray for my succeed in TOEFL. Love Them A Lot.

And the 08th of December was coming,

it means I have to back to Indonesia.

You know, my spirit still not decrease at that time, while me in Japan, my friends in Indonesia always support me, even Adella (remember who went to Todai) really helped me a lot.

She registered me to take another TOEFL test that held before the due date of examination for DD program.

I really owe her help.

Gunawan (ugun) also help me to cheers me up to follow his ways to get another source of funds just if I was left and didn’t get the scholarship.

I owe one also from him.

And Also my classmates who always support me when I have to do e-exam (septa, wimal, wati,kang indra also.)

December 09th 2014.

I arrived in Indonesia around 08.00 AM. I picked up by my family, I directly to my brother in law’s office to get documents for my interview for another fund (scholarship). He prepared everything.

I also owe a lot from him and his family.

10.00 a.m : I take the examination such as interview and such until 06.00 PM all in a day. and I really tired.

My families still waiting for me until finished that, I even didn’t the ‘welcome acting’ that I should shown.

07.00 PM : I give the bag that I borrow from my senior back.

07.15 PM : I and my family heading to my mother’s home in my Home Town.

I owe my family helps.

in 10.00 PM finally I arrive in my other home, she was sick at that time, but everyone really excited waiting for me.

until 11.00 PM I gave omiyage then I sleep.

You know? in the next day I have to back to Bandung to prepare TOEFL test.

TOEFL test will be held in the day of tomorrow 11/12/2014 and the one and only available for me is one in Jakarta.

Yes, I’m not joking. after today back to Bandung, the next day, I went to Jakarta for that test.

In Jakarta even kang suryo help me to show the test’s place.

I owe him another help.

the result will come one week after and I really want to passed my test this time.

While I ‘m waiting for the result, there’re several test for DD candidate ;

psychology test in the next Tuesday. starting two days from morning to evening.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW TIRED I AM?!

So I thought I will not make anything maximum.

Ok, it was OK. I did that test too, and it looks like that I got high score too, you know everyone thought I'm clever but yea, actually I'm not sure enough.

Now today is Friday.

One week after my TOEFL test.

I call the language center for several times and finally they emailed me.

they told me that I have XXX score, it means I didn’t pass again and can not be the DD candidate.

I know it was just a little more to reach qualified score, but I don’t have any time again.

Just like my heart was cut into two pieces, I really want to dig my grave and hiding in the earth.

I really disappointed for that.

I wanna cry but I can’t, Adel and kang indra were beside me at that time, I don’t want to make them worry too much for me. Even Adel’s eyes seems teary. OMG. No. I-AM-FINE-GUYS. And I just laughed and sometimes joking, pretend to cry, and complain.

I think Adel know me so well, as we both Japan lover. So she accompanied me to take an early dinner, just to forget this matter. Thanks so much. I owe lot of things from her, maybe without I aware.

In the next day… in the next month…

I cursed my self. I regret my stupidness, I complain to God because he sent me to Japan in the time that I need to prepare for reaching one year living, not short time visiting. I regret why I didn’t change my postion for sakura program (that held only 8 days) before I took the 40 days program, so I will have many times for preparation. I regret why I was chosen to be this 40 days program then I trouble my self for long distance studying, late for exam, and not study in the class with my friends, because that time is our last semester together. I also feel to blame one of my friend is a must because he always complaining in the wrong time when I did my hard work and he just pretend to be nothing.

My GPA was not required!!! You don’t have to be clever, you don’t have to be ontime in your assignment, NOT AT ALL! as long you still have not passed TOEFL you still STUPID INDEED!

I HATE THEM ALL!

I HATE ME!

I think EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!!

WRONG! and WRONG!

Yea, it was really, really hard to forget it.

WHY?

If you don’t know me just opened my previous post to see how targeted I am to reach my dream.

But… Slowly I try to face it, Have to fade away…

This is have to be ended soon.

I have to move on and continue my life.

3 Months later..

I aware, I‘m awake.

How can I blame my destiny to God, to Allah?

How can I blame Allah?

How can I turned to be stupid like that?

The chance 40 days leaving Indonesia to Japan is the greatest chance that Allah give to me.

I shouldn’t be forgetful like that, I shouldn’t be stupid like that.

I have to beg a pardon from ALLAH, ALLAH always take care me in this life.

I have to thankful to ALLAH.

I really shame on my self, I just concerned to a dream – only a wish,

I forget, Allah has set my destiny.

Allah give me that I need not what I want,

I need to know Japan, and I need to feel the happiness for knowing living in Japan.

It’s only 40 days but he gave me everything that I need. It means a lot for me, then How can I???

Ya Allah forgive me. astagfirullahaladzim…

now I know, this is my ways, this is my fate, my destiny, my journey that will be different from my friends.

but at least Allah allowed me to be THE FIRST person of MY CLASS who study in MIE,

I am the first from ALL.

Now, I just need to continue this journey, I will follow Allah’s rule that have been created for me.

I will write another history.

Though deep in my heart, idk why but I think I will reunited with my friends in Japan. Soon. Amin.

Now, this is. The new me.

please pray for me, and I will always try to make proud for the everyone who loved me.

This is my life. My journey. and this is me. Nova Dewi Lestari.

 

PS :

Hamdallah I think I have leaved a good impression in Mie, my Supervisor offered me to take PhD for this year also. 2 times he asked me, but Idk, I’m not sure about that and just considering it first, I have another goal (esp to makes my mother happy, though I really wanna go to Japan and take PhD badly) but. I always believe. If there’s my chance t go back to Japan, or to take PhD then I’ll go back.

 

Thanks for everyone who always helped me. I owe you a lot.

Look at that picture : at least I proved that I’m the first one in my class who come to Mie University

"Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it’s too late. Say what you’re feeling. Waiting is..."

PUNCLUT, BANDUNG - FEEL THE SENSATION FOR TASTING SUNDANESE FOOD IN A HILL (AVERAGE to EXPENSIVE PRICE)

Me again... I’ll do review again for the restaurant that I’ve visited last Friday (06/06/2014).

As we (me and classmates) did before, this journey held without planning, just wanna fill our empty stomach when it comes to lunch after took 60 mins essay exam.

After exam finished we did nothing except waiting in classroom for another plan. First we were planning to discuss our research but in the end we didn’t do it. When we were about to going to our own home, it’s interupted because we want to take a lunch together. Time goes fly, then we’ve another sudden planning.

“Let’s eat in the new place to search for new sensation.”  That’s the idea,  and Punclut becomes our destination.

Punclut is the place in Ciumbuleuit district, Bandung. The topography is the higher land than mostly places in Bandung (it’s a hill). This place nearby to Dago, and we headed to there with riding  motorbike, no one of the passangers who wear helmet, so like we did before we avoid main street and line on the little street.

The route is difficult enough, there’s a up-down-up street, not flat enough. I realized there’s no commute to there, we just have to use our own vehicle, ofcourse it must be in a good condition for adapting the bad road.

Finally after a while, we arrive in there, my friend (the chairman, Wimal, remember?) suggest us to ride down in front of “Warung Teh Ita 2” that’s the name of traditional restaurant that Wimal thought the Food is well enough. Ow okay we agreed.

The Address of Teh Ita

Warung Teh Ita 2

The interior of the restaurant not really different from the other shop beside, it’s standar when the Restaurant’s concept moslty used traditional Sundanese concept, wall from woven bamboo, no chair (lesehan) and have 2 floors, so we are  choosed in 2nd floor where we can see the whole view down there. I think when the night comes, I bet it will be a pretty scenery for Bandung Night’s View.

Lesehan means no chair

OK I'm a bad photographer with bad camera, trust me the real is more beautiful

Scenery from our seat

You can see Bandung's view here, unfortunately I couldn't catch it

Ah yes before we’re sitting in the 2nd floor we choosed the menu first. There’re lot of menus such as chicken, fish, tofu, tempeh, squid etc. We can choose one among of them then we said to the waitress if we want to make our dish grilled or fried. We can choose type of the rice too, the white rice or red rice. And we also can order different type of drink including coconut water with its coconut. Our team choosed our own menu and we prefer the red rice one. Then... We’re sitting in our place on the 2nd floor for waiting until the meals come.

Classmates : left-right (Indra, Wimal, Adel, Wati, That girl)

Classmates : left-right (Indra, Wimal, Adel, Gunawan, That girl)

This is the menu that come, I loved the menu and that sambal is sooo spicy!! OK, I couldn’t handle the spicy but I can ignore this sambal either, Sundanese food without sambal isn’t perfect. Um.. Sundanese people eat their meal with hand, but don’t worry you can ask for spoon if you need it.

Nasi Timbel Komplit

In the middle of eating time, there’s a livemusic around us, traditional Sundanese music that performed by a man and his Kecapi (name for Sundanese traditional instrument). We can give that man money for his songs and we can request the song too.

Ahh.. You know and I’d just know too if my friend’s appetite were big, including me. It’s because we put on another refill of rice in our plate after the first one is ‘gone’ LOL. But don’t you have to worry because the rice served in a big bowl from woven bamboo (we called it bakul). So you can put on the refill whenever you want.

OK that’s the eating time and now the paying time, you know, we were shocked because for the simply menus that we ordered it can say if the price is expensive, (um... average to expensive). For 6 of us we spent IDR.170.000,- it means almost IDR 30.000,- per person.

Bill and payment fee, expensive ="=

Then Ugun said “we are buying place and view in here, no wonder it’s getting expensive, so after eating don’t go home first, let’s enjoyed this time.” Ay ay Captain! We agreed and spent our time to take photos and do chit chat a while.. OK not only a while maybe for hours because we’re head down to our home around 4.PM LOL.

Whatever. Because it’s fun!! OK. Next time we will explore another places!! If you wanna try my adventure, just going there Kay? Bye, see yaa~

Intermezzo :

When we go home, Wimal forgot to take his belonging so we (I and him, because I’m the passanger) went back again to take it (actually it’s just a chips, precious chips for Wimal’s sister), fortunately the employees keep that and handed to us. So kind. Thank You Teh Ita 2.

PS with love :

Warning !!! Please notice, English wasn’t my first language! I’m Indonesian, but idk, somehow I just comfort to write in English eventhough it was this messy, just like this post. OK there.. see yaa :)

BANDUNG SISTER CITY : HAMAMATSU CITY, SHIZUOKA PREFECTURE JAPAN

Sister city,what is that?

Last time I read.. Sister city is a program between two cities that has similarity in one or two aspects, the program build in the form of an agreement between that cities to help each other, more over to promote their city.

Bandung, my home town have an agreement in the form of sister city with several cities such as Cebu (Philippines), Fort Worth (United States), Suwon (South Korea), Bari (Italy), Hangzhou, Liuzhou and Yingkou (People's Republic of China), Almaty (Kazakhstan), Braunschweig (Germany), Kuantan, Petaling Jaya, and Seremban (Malaysia), and Pekanbaru (Indonesia).

Eh??? There is no Hamamatsu City isn’t there? But how can I write that as a tittle?

Well, I will say you.

Bandung City - Indonesia

Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka, Japan

Bandung-Hamamatsu Festival

Long time ago in 2009, I ever atended a Japanese festival in Cihampelas Walk. And the tittle is Bandung-Hamamatsu Festival. My friend, Andra (she’s a Bandung Institute of Technology student at back then) becomes MC because she’s fluent both in English and Japanese.

The festival held in the end of 2009, there’s so many dresser (cosplayer) that wear Japanese Anime Character, Japanese Style and Japanese Traditional clothing. I did. I wear a dress. it’s a gothic-lolita style.

Me. The back only. LOL

OK, now you can recognise where is the weird author there.

And we have guests from Hamamatsu, they performed a traditional Dance (odori) from Hamamatsu. Then the Japanese also opened many stand for Japanese food such as Takoyaki booth (Takoyaki – octopus ball cake that grilled), Okonamiyaki (snack in the form of cake that made from flour and vegetables that mayonaised and special sauced), and also cotton candy stand. I love them all!!! xD

The guy with white shirt. I thought he's a Japanese from Hamamtsu (if I didn't wrong)

Cotton Candy Stand!!

Sister City?

Ok, back to sister city, Umm.. about the event, I don’t know about that event, but someone told me if Bandung-Hamamatsu has a sister city agreement. I got it at that time so this is the event to celebrate their sister city. Ironically, I'd just ever read if sister city agreement just made in 2011. Eh??? I didn’t know about that. So what’s the festival that held in 2009 back then? Then I just thought maybe that festival is one of the ways when this both cities starting to probe each other to create that sister city agreement.

The similarity between Hamamatsu and Bandung claimed as the city which becomes industry center, there’re so many factories in Hamamatsu so do with Bandung, Hamamatsu becomes destination for workers so do with Bandung, Hamamatsu has festival traditional or various events so do with Bandung. So maybe that’s the similarity. 

OMG I forgot, how can I forgot the location, Hamamatsu city is the part of Shizuoka prefecture, Japan, whilst Bandung city is the capital city of West Java, Indonesia. From the topography Hamamatsu and Bandung maybe have similarity, from it’s contur, and the situation of the city (maybe). 

In 2011 Hamamatsu even ever helped Bandung for an environmental event. So in this 2014, idk if Hamamatsu still becomes Bandung Sister City or not, but I thought it’s still. Well I don’t know, but I glad if Bandung has lot of sister cities that can help for Bandung’s promotion, moreover, I love if there’s a city in Japan that becomes Bandung Sister City. :)

Ok, you can search the information of those cities by your self. Here are :

Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia 

Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka, Japan 

EXPLORING THE GEOLOGY MUSEUM, BANDUNG

Hi, It’s me again... Um... where should I start?

Um... OK. Here I go..

This is starting after we fulfilled our hungry passion for lunch. OK I exaggerated. I mean, I and my classmates went to Ramen Shop for eating Ramen for lunch. That post could be read here : Jigoku Ramen

After that we still wanna hang out around our lovely Bandung. And it has been decided if we will go to Taman Lansia (Lansia Park), a city park near Gedung Sate (Iconic Building for West Java Government).

We are. Youngster that reckless and stubborn. To reach our destination (Taman Lansia) from Ramen Shop, we ride motorcycle. We only have 2 people that have motorcycle, so we’re splitted. Ugun+Wati, Wimal+Adel+Me. Can you imagined how that condition was?? We really abandoned police’s rule, moreover the passenger, the girls (not the driver) ride that without helmet! OMG please don’t follow our bad act.T_T

Fortunately we are follow the little street for avoid the main street, but there’s a bad news, wanna or not, we have to riding on next main street to reach our destination. And we’re panicking when we saw a police in that road. Finally, the passenger ride down and we are, the girls walk away, just for safety and we don’t want to be a bad guys.. *cough*angel imitated here*cough* 

When we’re dicussing about how to reach our desination withour riding motorcycles then I suggest Adel+ Wati to use commute, it’s because I’m the real commuter, so I’m OK with that thing. I said if the route will passed Geology Museum which is infront of the Taman Lansia, but then suddenly Adel said we are better go to Museum than to the Park. OK. It decided, we agreed!! We communicate the boys via wh*tsapp to change destination, the boys agree and they will buy the ticket if they arrive there at first.

And somehow we’re remembering Septa, another girls in the class. She isn’t with us because she has a TOEFL exam schedule, unfortunately when we said this sudden plan to Septa, she  already went home... Auw.. Next time we should go together then.. :( 

After a while.. there we are!!! A museum? Ticket were bought by us for IDR.2000,-/person.

A ticket for entering Geology Museum Bandung

I couldn’t believe it, finally I step my feet again on here after years skipped. 

Last time I visited this museum when I was a Junior High.

We are,um.. I mean.. me.. I am really excited!!!

First we enter museum, we cursed ourselves which visited this museum on the Saturday when the visitor arised in great numbers, mostly junior high and we arrive at 12.30 that mean we only have 1.30 hours before the museum closed at 2.00.

Geology Museum (c) on photo

But it was OK. I don’t wanna lose this chance. And here we go again, we explore this museum. First we heading to 2nd floor where it’s about mineral knowledge and natural disaster explanation that caused by geological thing. In the part about Mineral and Mining we could see various of gemstones!! So beautiful! ruby, saphire, jade etc.. OMG I wan’t it all!! Can I have them all??? LOL

Then we learn (sounds like a class) about hydrocarbon (oil) and another mineral, we know about the various stone that used along in the history, accessories from the past, various ores etc. In the Natural Disaster section we learn about mount eruption, tsunami even earthquake!!

A little interesting story about earthquake, there’s a simulator for earthquake based on measurement of its earthquake scale. I dont know how the Richter was, it just written model 1 and model 2. We are (the girls) esp Adel want to try that, but the queue is long, all of ‘em is the jr.high. Ow please I’m an adult how can I fight with the kids so I can use that tool, but in the other side maybe I can used this seniority to expelled them away? *smirk* ahahaha I’m joking of course we didn’t do that. 

Fortunately there’s anouncement if the Jr students have to go to 1st floor. Yeay!!! Finally we tried that simulator with model 2, and it success make us dizzy. The shake was strong enough.

Therefor, we go down to 1st floor, there are many specimens of fossil. Mammoth, Dinosaur, something like Buffalo, and primordial man were there, even we could see clams shell, and fossil of trees. It’s amazing!

But you know what is the more amazing?

Yes! Exactly! We took our photos almost in front of the specimen that we thought it is cool xD. We saw a father who posed in front of mammoth with weird pose, we laugh at him, but we imitated him in the end. LOL.

Full members in Geology Museum Expedition in front of Mammoth Fossil, Meet the team : Ugun-Adel-Wati-that girl-Wimal

This ‘taking-a-picture’ time continuing even until we exit from the museum, because in the outside of the museum we still found the interesting objects (rock/stone, sarcophagus etc) and even the beauty of that museum it self is an elegant object. It’s because Geology Museum’s building architechture is made from the Netherland Era in Indonesia, it has an Europe Style :)

We only consist of 5 people, so if we wanna our members complete in a photo, we asked a stranger to take the picture for us. Whatsoever because it was FUN!!

see the back? it isn't only us who's taking a picture xD

guys... don't hugging like that, it's only stone! it shown if we're the real LDR victim :(

nice Europe Style building

meet my another friend he is T. from Tyranosaurus Rex

it's lovely T again :*

And we share our pics on group (in order to save the complete pic by ourselves) but it made Kang Suryo (another classmate) shocked. He said we’re strange younger in this era for liking to hang out to the Museum.LOL.
