Where Have You Been?!

No idea where i have been. I would say that i "kinda" forget that i have blog. I use internet everyday, do blog-walking often, but never visited my own blog. So how can i remember to visit mine? The answer is... course assignment. My lecturer asks us to write summary of the course for each meeting on our blog. I am too lazy to make new blog just for the course. So i decide to use my lovely-yet-rarely-written blog :p Thank to him, i will write my 13 course summaries here for assignment. 13 because there are 13 meeting in this semester by the way. I will write them in Bahasa Indonesia since the course is conducted in Bahasa and so is the examination (!). Hope beside those summaries, i will write another things in this semester. At least until odd semester ends, it's positive that i will post 13 writings. Fufufu...

edit (March 5th,2014):
Naah... odd semester ends. I don't feel like to keep my assignments here. So i put them down. Hopefully this semester is my last semester in bachelor.

Les Miserables' Review

The young Cosette is cute >.<

I just finished watching Les Miserables movie. I never saw the play before, so i had known the story a bit. However i saw Lea Michele on Glee and Lea Salonga, who has acted as Fantine and Eponine on Broadway, on youtube singing some songs of Les Miserables.

I felt like watching 5 hours long movie. It was boring for me. They rarely talked normally, only singing and singing. Does it always like that for musical play? I only once saw musical play and it was Dream Girls. There were many songs too, but they also talked normally.

I enjoyed Anna Hathaway sang as Fantine, but not the Cossette played by Amanda Seyfried. Her voice sounds too high. Maybe it was because of the music editing? I am blind about those stuff, but i do not like her voice. I also like Samantha Barks as Eponine. She played the same character on theater and has a music album, so no wonder that i enjoyed her singing in this movie.

I can not say that i like this movie. That is because either that there were too much songs or that i don't really enjoy their singing.

Cool in Norway: Trondheim (August 19th-21st, 2012)

Okay! Finally i have mood to continue 'my travel to Norway' story! :D

It was Ied al-Fitr on August 19th, 2012. We prayed in local mosque. There are 2 mosques in Trondheim. I do not remember the name, but the one we visited is the newer one. The next event was Halal bi Halal with Indonesian who are in Trondheim. It is an event where people meet to celebrate an event. It was held in Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) or NTNU for short. My cousin told me that people there call this university as Hogwarts because of the building architecture. :D

NTNU is the huge building on the left.

After full with many delicious Indonesian food and meeting with many people, my cousin family drove me to see around Trondheim. This city has mountain area and amazing fjords. I enjoyed a lot the scenery while i always had visited big cities as my travel destination before. I did not take pictures during this trip because we just drove through and everybody was really tired on that day.

Cool in Norway: Oslo & Røros (August 17th-18th, 2012)

It was summer in Bremen, but it was not as hot as i expected. My Italian friends told me that in their country it was almost 40 degree Celcius. Yet in Bremen 26 degree is considered really warm.

At first i planned to celebrate Ied al-Fitr in Bremen. However many Indonesian students celebrated it in Indonesia. Because of it and feeling sick attending many good bye parties, i decided to go to Norway! My cousin and her family live in Trondheim. I was really lucky that i could stay in her place and she paid the transportation. *fufufu*

I took Ryanair from Bremen to Oslo Torp. My plan was stay a night in Oslo, then took train to Trondheim. Actually there was direct flight from Hamburg to Trondheim, but how could i miss the capital city? ;)

In Oslo i stayed in Anker Hostel. I think there is also Anker Hotel. It is about 10-15 minutes walking from Oslo Central Station. Near the hostel there is tram/bus stop named Hausmanngate. This hostel has very good location and the 8 beds room is really nice! :D I was so glad i stayed there because i traveled by myself.

I arrived in the hostel around 4 PM. After i put my luggage, i decided to see around the city center.

Lucky that i was able to see Oslo Jazz Festival 2012 too :)

Actually i walked until Aker Bridge. However my camera ran out of battery, so i didn't have any photos on that day. On the way back to hostel i looked for dinner and decided to buy food in Supermarket. Food is more expensive here ( i heard Oslo is the most expensive city in the world). A bar of Freia chocolate is around 3 Euros. However i ate this chocolate several times during trip.

(Yes, Another) Life Update

(writing the title i felt like someone famous :p)

Hello! Guten Tag!

Yes, i was too busy lazy to write again. Many things happened from August until now, but the saddest news is the fact that i am in Indonesia now :( My amazing student exchange program ended and arrived home on October 7th. My parents and sister were in Mecca from beginning of October until beginning of November. Yes, i didn't see them before they went there and met in November instead.

I went to travel before i went back home. I celebrated Eid al-Fitr with my cousin's family and her mom (my aunt) in Norway, i went to Italy visiting my friends, then went to Turkey as a transit from Hamburg to Jakarta. :D I am going to write my travel stories, so i will not forget about them.

When i arrived from abroad, i missed already 3 weeks of classes in University. However i take only 4 courses, so i managed to catch them quite well. Quite well because i managed the mid-term exams properly (just finished them last week). Because most of my friends are writing their BA theses this semester (plus i took different classes), i rarely see them. Sigh..

I don't know what else i should write under this title. I still have a week off before courses start again. I might have inspiration to write again :p Ciao!

Summer Holiday Song: AKB48

Hello~~!

This week is the third week of my summer holiday. Many ERASMUS students go back to their countries and i am still in Bremen, because in September i still exam (a bit grateful because it is a good reason to stay longer ;) ). I see more videos than usual on youtube. Now i really like to listen to AKB48. Since last week i can not stop myself to listen to "Manatsu no Sounds Good!". My friend, who stay with me for a week, even can remember its melody, because i played it a lot! xD

However my favorite video of this song is not sung by AKB48, but by other person. A Japanese guy covered this song and i looooooove his voice! You can see his cover here and check his youtube page too, because his another covers are also very good (i also listened to his covers of Ikimono Gakari and Nishino Kana)!


I found the music box version here! For me it is better if i can see Japanese video with English sub. I found AKB48 performed this song with English subtitle here.

Happy summer holiday! :D

Summer Dishes

Hello~~!

Finally summer comes back to Bremen! \(^O^)/ Ramadan (or Fasting Month) starts already since last Friday. I have not started yet because of girl's 'privilege' xD To celebrate the summer, i ate 2 scoops ice cream in Mensa (it's German word for canteen) and one bowl of spaghetti ice cream! aaah... as if i lived in paradise 口(・∀・ )

Spaghetti Ice Cream <3

Another food which i like to eat lately are strawberries with plain yogurt and honey. Few days ago i ate Apricot for the first time. Oh my... it was very good! I never found it in Indonesia (or maybe i never paid attention in fruit section before :p ).

All i want are ice cream and fruits from refrigerator~! Btw i would like to try asparagus. However it seems like that its season is already over :(

nb: no idea why i have mood to write about food :p
