After a lot of travelling schedules

These last two weeks, I went to Bandung-Cirebon and Denpasar. Well, those were inspiring journeys.. Many new things I found in the journeys.

 

When I went to bandung, actually that was my first self-driving car to Bandung (alone!). In the Cipularang toll, I bought a glass of Starbucks Frappucino. New store, still not fully-operating yet, but quite satisfying. There will be VENTI cup there..  (Big cup of starbucks coffee). Yummy :P

 

BTW, last nite I went to Jakarta Theatre's Starbucks, there were also Venti cup.. so I think, this size of cup will be sold in every starbucks' stores. Aahh, there will be much caffein run through my vein.. I must control it before I get arterioschlerosis! Shit.. :(

 

Speaking of starbucks' store, Now, I have came to at least seven of those stores *I just read magazine that they have 35 stores, last one they built it in Trans TV Tower*. Damn, how lucky they are.. having a regular customer like me.

 

So, back to the topic, after short drive to bandung and took a rest at my brother's place, I was continuing the journey to Cirebon. What a clean city, there was no litter on the road.. When I went to other cities different from jakarta, I always confused that many neat cities much more better than Jakarta. So, I wonder why jakarta get so sophisticated, but still can't manage their garbage (mane aje om sutioso???). But, like one of my boss said, It's quite hard to renovate a mosque to be a church.. old habit die hard!

 

Cirebon, nice city to get some vacation.. They have nasi jamblang in very small portion (you can eat 3 portions of it even if you're not hungry!). They also have many delicious foods and beverages, if you have interest for a culinary journey, you should try nasi jamblang, empal gentong, kerupuk kulit, etc in Cirebon.

 

Back from Cirebon to Bandung, I went to my colleague's friend who has business of hi-end audio. Damn, the hi end audio is very intriguing.. Eventhough the price is very expensive, you get what you pay for.. When I listened the music through this device set: one cd player, d/a converter, pre-amp, amplifier, speaker, when I sat in front of the set and closed my eyes, I could feel the location of the instruments that produce sound, as in I listen some live music in front of me! For this set, you should pay more than Rp.100 mil. But that's nothing, compared to a set of hi end device which cost you about Rp.5 Bil! Only one person in Indonesia has this device (from bandung). I couldn't imagine the sound produced from this device...! That's the world of Hi-end community.. they have the club for this hobby.

 

One week after this jouney, I went to bali.........! This is my fourth time go to bali this year. What a lovely, passionate, romantic, and exotic place Bali is.. I'm never bored with this place. BALI... I really love this place.. There're so many nice things happen in this place. I went there for a biz trip, to support an exhibition on a ortophedics surgeon symposium.. Actually, it shouldn't be me go there.. but, because my boss doesn't like go to bali, he passed the ticket to me.. how lucky I was.

 

My favourite band, Asia One, also performed at Hardrock Kuta.. M, I'm officially missing you now.... BTW, M is my favourite personel in the band. I was falling in love with her! BASI.. First time, I met her in hard rock jakarta.. she's not interesing first time I saw her.. but after she performed, how she sang, how she danced, DAMN, suddenly I just lost.. After I knew her much better, I found that she is very interesting.. a lady singer, who has minus-10 eyes.. So, in daily life, she has thick glass, it's so funny to see she sees from side of her eyes, it's like she had 4 eyes... Although I still can't really understand her (one of the most complicated girl I had found), I respect and admire her choice to be a band singer for one and a-half year and back to college student in May 2006. That's one of my falling in love feeling after quite long break.. (sayang kaga jodoh).. Yah, jadi 'teman tapi mesra' saja sudah senang..

 

Back to the bali trip, I spent time with band crew, hrc staff, and the DJ, his name is Ramses.. .hey, I got DJ friend now.. Many new things I found from DJ point of views.. (actually, most of them is about girl and how to lay..). Ah, it's also the same like other.. DJ juga manusia, punya rasa punya hati.. juga punya birahi.. :) Now, I have good friend there.. well, if I go to bali again, at least I get place to hang out..  HRC bali maan!! Woohooo..

 

Next trip, I'll go to jogja.. I hope I can visit hugo's and maybe meet some other people there, including my another favourite band which is from phillipine , Zynergy..

 

Finally, rite now, I just wanna say I miss the feeling of falling in love again.. can u all give me some hints?
