Somewhere I Belong

Buletan tepung ketan berisi tumbukan kacang dan gula, bersama kolang kaling, irisan roti, dan taburan kacang tanah…. disajikan dengan kuah jahe manis nan hangat.
mmm…itulah wedang ronde. Minuman kesukaanku. Yang paling enak diminum saat udara dingin atau saat hujan…

Kemaren malam, aku dan beberapa orang temen rame2 membuatnya…
Sluuurrpp…enaaakk… Apalagi gula yg dipake’ buat ronde nya adalah gula palem.
Walopun kurang lengkap (tanpa kolang kaling, roti, dan kacang) tapi sudah cukup mengobati kerinduanku akan minuman itu (sing penting buletan ronde ne!). Sialnya, aku jadi terbayang2 terus, alias ketagihan….and aku pgn bikin lagi!! Huhuhuu….

Kenapa aku suka wedang ronde? Selain karena emang enak, karena aku punya banyak sejarah dengan wedang itu…hehehe…
Di UGM dulu, sering banget bercengkerama (bahasane kok nggilani ta…bercengkerama) sore2 di boulevard sambil menikmati secangkir hangat wedang ronde ama jagung rebus bersama teman-temans. Hmmphh…those where the days…
Kenangan2 wedang ronde lain adalah kenangan yg bersifat pribadi. Wakakakakakakk….
Beeeeeeppp…..sensor…

Tapi ada satu yg paling enak…yaitu….ES WEDANG RONDE!!! Yup, ini agak aneh, soalnya wedang ronde biasanya disajikan hangat, tapi ini pake’ es! Hanya dan hanya kutemukan di Pasar Magelang. Bulet2 ronde nya and kacang nya banyak…just the way I like it. Sayang, baru sekali nyoba and belom sempet kesana lagi…hiks…

Hidup WEDANG RONDE!

Setelah 1.5 tahun lebih aku di Thailand, baru sekarang aku menemukan tempat main BILYARD!!! $@*$%@*($^(!!!!! But I finally found it!! I finally found it!! YEEESSSSS…!! ^@%#%

Ternyata eh ternyata, cuma di sebelahnya tempat bowling, pdhl sering liat tmpt bowling itu. Huh! Tp emang sih, disini bowling lebih terkenal ketimbang Bilyard.

Nggak seperti di Jakarta yg ada Bengkel, Gillians, Hangar, Score dll..dll…yg notabene khusus utk olahraga Bilyard, di sini cuma beberapa meja Bilyard yg di ’squeeze’ in di tempat bowling (kayak yg di Plaza Senayan itu loh). $&^$)#$^$#*$%@*$@*!!!

Tp untungnya, mgkn krn nggk terlalu populer, rate nya lumayan murah…apalagi ada harga khusus utk student. HOREEE!! ^_^

Dulu pernah nanya temen Thai tempat Bilyard (yg khusus olahraga Bilyard) yg kyk di Jkt itu, tp dia tau nya meja Bilyard di Cafe2 ato Bar2. Wah, mboten2 mawon mas!

Fiuhh….akhirnyaa…aku bisa mengasah kemampuan Bilyard ku lagi udah ‘gatel’ neh tangan!! Uughh pgn bgt jd atlet Bilyard! Ho..ho..ho… Percaya nggk, saking pengennya, dulu pernah nyari2 beasiswa buat Bilyard…wakakakakakakkkk…

Oya, kemaren liat Final Destination 3. God, I love those sequels! Very thrilling, walopun brutall….!! Tapi bener2 sangat menegangkan deh!! Kayak film Horror! ^_^ Ngomong2 film Horror, dah lama bgt neh gak nonton, ada film Horror baru gak ya…

Uuughh….I finally finished my thesis draft after (only) 1.5 month of (hard??) work. Yeah, I like to speed up things…. on January I played A LOT while I input my data on the SPSS and GIS program. In February, I didnt go anywhere, but I still do my routine sports for refreshing (badminton, basketball, sometimes tennis, and of course ping pong). U know, I dont feel that much stress in doing my thesis, I wonder why, coz so many people fuss about it, and some of them produces pimples on their once smooth face, but the only pimple I have is one tiny pimple I usually get before my menstruation…hahaha… But doing research is actually fun, u get to know a lot of things, especially when u have first hand data. I had 300 household respondents and it was fun manipulating statistics on the program and sometimes u’ll be surprised of the results u get and find interesting stuff in them..

Anyways, I submitted chapter after chapter, week after week, with new revisions each time. U know, each time after I submit my chapters, I waited in tense. And everytime my advisor calls me and said that he’s ready for his comments and ask me to come to his office for the new revision, my heart beats like hell….haha… just like when ur lover calls and asks u to meet…. Yeah, coz I’m so nervous that I have to do a lot of revision. Mbak Anas was right referring her advisor as her ‘lover’ …. hahaha… 

My progress defense is next, I havent discussed the date yet with my advisor, but I want to do it somewhere on the 20th. Good thing Prof. Amin (one of my committee member) is still abroad, then I (only) have to face 2 ’slaughters’ then…

Okay, I’m ready for my next vacation…
