Feel the Culture of SOLO

Solo or Surakarta is a town in Central Java. 
I've already gone to Solo for few times and never get bored to feel the deep Javanese culture and taste the delicious foods from this city.

so this time, I went to Solo and took a night in Sahid Jaya Solo Hotel, it was 5-stars hotel but with non-5stars hotel's price.

Welcome to the room :)

This is mine and my sister's room... :D

It is a nice room, right ?? Love the painting on the wall ( wayang - indonesian traditional puppet from animals skin )

a big mirror right in front of the bathroom and right next to the enter door. :D 

and finally come back to my FUJIFILM HS3S Finepix camera <3 YEAY !

Here are some photos of Sahid Jaya Hotel :3

I love the colours and the shape of these flowers <3

This is the building. It is a traditional culture hotel, that's why I like it <3

The hotel is glowing at night :3

Best Cookies in Town - Mrs. Higgins cookies

    Ohhhhh I really can't stand with this cookies.
you can smell this cookie fresh from the oven, even from far few steps before you reached the store.
They have so many variations of flavours, and my favourite one is the one with macadamia and almond. I love nuts. :)

I think this cookies is the best cookies I've ever ate. I love this cookies so much. So you guys, If you go to Auckland city, don't forget to catch this store on Queen Street. It is a small store but I am sure you can smell the cookies. 
    I loooooveeee this so much.

I already bought this cookies twice.

First, my houseparent bought it for me and I tried one, I was so in love and bought again on the next day. 2 cookies !! :)

much more you buy, the price will become lesser... :)

CHECK THEIR WEBSITE : Mrs. Higgins Cookies

Well, First Impression !

 So, here it is. hahahaha. My first impression about Auckland.

I've arrived on 4th September, and picked up by my Indonesian Host family. <3

I took 10 hours flight exclude transfer service from Jakarta to Auckland. wow ! hahaha. I was so glad because, when I was in Jkt-Syd's flight, there were no people sit next to me. So I had the rest of the chair which were next to me. 

This photo is my first selfie. hahaha. actually, I want to fullfill one of my friend's wish. His wish was for took a picture whenever I arrived at Auckland Airport while wearing this RED SWEATER.

But, so sorry, I forgot his wish. So, I think I will change the place to my shool ya ! hahaha.

( forgive my fat look because the sweater. )

How did I feel when leaving my hometown and saying goodbye to my parents and my sister ? well. I released so much tears. It was so hard for me to leave them especially my father. hahaha.

Yes ! absolutely true !

I wish all the best for my parents. :) wait for my comeback and I will make you both proud <3

well, 

I think, Auckland isn't one kind of big city. It is a not-so-big city. hahaha. I could reach a lot of places in Central city by walking. I don't know is it the country which is not big or the central city which is too small ? hahahaha.

and. I got out from house and tried to catch bus in Sunday to go to Church ! St. Andrew Presbyterian Church. It has the same ceremony as my church in Semarang. I like this church moreover it has Indonesian Service at noon. I wish I can be one of their piano player. hahahaha. O ya ! I met some Indonesian young adults in church. We tried to know each other. Most of them, almost forget their hometown country's language. hahahha. ah ! I met fiona. She is older than me 1 year but she is so much cuter than me. She is so kind. you know what, she gave me a banana cupcake and said " I want to a great chef one day. that's why I moved here "

Thank you Fiona ! I like it. haaahahaha. Beside gave me that, she also told me where was the bus stop. " Here is the bus stop to go to your home. You should catch bus number 258 and it will stop at BlockHouse bay, your area "

oh, thank you so much. hahahaha.

and. hmmmm I guess you guys want to know about Auckland city. hahahaha here are somr photos and I apologize for some unclear photos :( I captured them while walking and reading google maps. ahhahhaa. 

 

Vulcan Lane

the bus :D

I quite upset with the price. hahahha. 5 dollar one way. Are you crazy ?hahahaha. so you mean 10 dolar for return ? hahaha.

oh ! on monday, I went to my school and checked out the atmosphere. well, nobody looks like me. maybe I am the only strangers and weirdo for them. hahahaa. I accept that. :D

This is my great and super good hahahaha school !!!!!!!

I hope I can be a profesional one after this. hahahah

Stoned because My Decision

Hello, everybody hahaha.

It has been a super hard month since I decieded to enter my College in New Zealand.
My parents always make me sure that every decision that I make, is the best for me, 
They never ask me to be someone as what they want, And I am so glad about this. OMG !! I am thankfull for my parents, and I will never ask they to be a better one.
I have the best parents in the world. 

So, actually yeah it is kind of sad that I should leave my parents and my hometown in Semarang. New Zealand is far from here and I will have A SUPER DUPER NEW LIFESTYLE and people in there. 

" There's always time for living, Can we just do it again. One more time like it once was...Way Back When. You gave me something to believe in, We were the best of friends. Well I remember the good times...Way Back When. "

Just like the lyric above ( way back when - GRIZFOLK ), there's always time for living, even you will have 180degrees different from before.

So, I am going to New Zealand to reach my dream, and I will be back soon after I finished it. :)
So, for everybody who miss me, hahahahaha, while I am at there, you can skype me and LINE me everytime, and I am sure will reply all of you, whenever I have time. 

Actually, I'm still scared. so much than before, I don't know who I should meet at first arriving in Auckland, hahahaha. But I know that God always with me, and never let me alone. :) Thanks to my agent for introduced me with one of Indonesian people who living in NZ. I hope that I can rely her a little bit from now. :)
I will take my flight on September...

Everything gonna be fine :) I know that.... hehehee, goodnight everybody.
