Not even half a day and it is raining outside. My monday is likely the same like others in these past few months (read: unemployed) but my mind unconsciously keep a list of things which plan to make my days ahead quite different. Last weekend is a very hectic one, not that hectic with all important-ness of a businessman but indeed a chaos. Happy chaos. I met at least 3 person which I feel like had not seen them in ages (one of them literally disappears in my time continuum for five years straight). So here goes a mess report of what my weekends looked like:
Saturday: Bogor- Tokyo - Mecca - Netherland
The pain of glory for visiting foreign cultures only on Jakarta region surprisingly healed fast. I mean, usually your legs gave up and body ache struck everywhere after walking all day long but it didnt happen. There were Ennichisai Fetival 2014 at Little Tokyo (Blok M) and Movie-Day at Erasmus Huis on this saturday. Driven by thirst of adventure with free admission, Della and I were casually depart from Bogor at 9.00 AM. None of us are a big fan of Japanese wave but surely we had this great time strolling a round corridors in front of Blok M Square which dazzled into an exciting path with food and store stalls in each sideline. There are a lot of youngsters did a cosplay from hype anime/manga (which we suck at). Two medium stage filled with traditional and contemporary performances from this Rising Sun country always have crowds in the front and there was also street parade of mikoshi with children playing traditional instrument. Eventhough Della and I felt like a bit lost in translation but we had a lot of joy for sure. Our trip continued to Erasmus Huis, dutch culture center in Netherland Embassy (Kuningan). Earlier on thursday I found out that there would be a movie called 'Briefgeheim' show there, and after watch the movie inside Erasmus theater (arrived late for app. 10-15mins so we joined the show in the dark) we figured out that a lot of expat families came with children age of 7-11. No wonder the movie had this feel of spy kids with less tech and simpler plot. We took a note of several free events for next months and promised to go back. Bogor was still lively (thanks to satnite traffic in almost every spot) at 8.00 PM when we arrived at commuter station. Oh, if you wonder why I write Mecca above, Blok M Square have this Kaba miniature with great mosque architecture on their rooftop.
Sunday: Everyday Girls Day Moment
No, I didnt go to Girl's Day concert or fanmeet whatever (but I am smooth at Expectation karaoke). Depok became a full of reunion feel yesterday after I met Farida Nuzulia, my high school friend whom I never met for these 5 years. Dede Nisa (my SHS friend too) and me just struck in awe when we know Farida already stayed in Depok for a year in her sister house which surprisingly very near of Nisa's rented house. She admitted feel like cut out from high school peers stories from the moment we graduated last 2009, so we filled our precious three hours meet to catch up of what happen within our friend circles (you know, graduate-marriage-work stuffs lol). I cant join them for more chit-chat since I already had appointment to meet my college friends in Depok too, but we promised to hang out together often. When I finally meet seven other girls at Margonda, they already finished their lunch so we raid up Gramedia and had book shopping spree (exclude me and Ima). Eight of us then spent our afteernoon together by doing activities like other normal girls would do when they meet up: gossiping in a cafe. It sound glamorous but please view it in a modest way hahaha, we basically laugh at each other life at a moderate food stall in roadside. So yes, last sunday definitely girl's day!
Hope another weekend will be amazing as well. Like I've said to someone I (used to) know this week: Never thought you are all alone in this life.
Cheers!
