Summer in Wuhan Part 2

Conquer holiday's laziness is accomplished!

This post is still about my Wuhan experience due to summer school. I didn't waste my time by only stayed in the hotel when the class was over. I choosed to go around Wuhan.. many times by myself, which is crazy enough. There was always a chance for me to get lost there. Most of Wuhan (or Chinese) people don't speak English. Such a great combination of disaster. And the fact was.. every people I met there considered me as local resident based on my face for sure. So unfair I guess, when I can't speak Chinese at all. 

Okay, back to the topic.

Inia's friend invited us to go to heritage area (too bad I forget the name) in Wuhan. Actually, it was one of our agenda besides went to church that's still in the same area. This place is full of old buildings, most of them was built in 60's, and now the buildings are used as shops. They sold postcards, handmade accesories (bags, necklaces, bracelets, etc.), paintings (yelled by old lady here because I supposted to be not took any picture here), and of course.. foods. The place was so crowded on weekend like typical tourist attraction. One thing I put my attention for: These buildings are well maintained. I can see the goverment's concern on keep their heritage for generations.

In the next route, we went to the street-market area. This place is MORE crowded than the heritage area. Never saw foods as much as this for the rest of my life. The pork-stick captivated me at first. But I choosed something more refreshing because I started to feel thirsty after a long walk. Yes, finally grabbed a fruit-bowl on my hands. It included slice of cherries, grape-like fruits (?). dragon fruits, green grapes, watermelons, strawberries, etc., with milk on the top. Yum! 

On the other day, I went to Optics Valley Square by train. Thank God I didn't get lost and got back to the hotel safely. And another good news was I can read Hanzi (Chinese Letter) right! In this place, there are a lot of shopping malls with many variations of price. What a true reliever for girls! I successfully walked around 3 malls in a day, of course with the comfiest footwear I have (re. flip flops). With (not really) satisfied feeling, I have to return because the last train is only until 11 P.M.

The point is, people life in the modern world without forget where they came from. What a great pleasure to know you, Wuhan. 

Enjoy the pictures!

Boredom won't Kill

Almost 2 weeks ago go back to Bandung. 
New year's already standing in front of my eyes, means new semester.. and new spirit for sure! 
Wish you'll have your best year ahead and good luck with all of your resolutions for this year. 
Last Wednesday, the day after I returned to Bandung, I took these photos at Surabi Enhaii. If you still don't know what surabi is.. Hmm it can be explained as simple as Indonesian traditional 'pancakes'. But it's baked, not cooked. We ordered surabi with jackfruit and cheese, also surabi with pineapple jam. For the beverages, we choosed hot milo and lychee soda. The pineapple jam-surabi is a little bit dissapointing for me, yet the jackfruit-surabi is totally recommended! 
Went there with my friends. Thank God I have them-a place to share some happiness.

Year-End Holiday

Well, today is the day when I finally returned from Bandung. 

Yes, Bandung. Again.
But of course, not for go to campus. 
This resort, which is located in Dago Pakar, becomes kind of my "family favorite" place to reunite all of family members, especially on holiday time like this.
Enjoy the pictures!

Grateful Christmas

Oh, it's December already *long exhale*


Said a lot about how bad I am in blogging. Indeed I am. 
The 2nd year in campus isn't as easy as I've wondered it'll be. Tons of assignments are soon to be many-more-and-complex assignments. It doesn't include the activities outside the academic thingy. Until all you can think is 'God, my life is too hard. Just kill me, please."
But still thanks God, if I still can go through life this far, it's just because of Him. Seriously.

These photos are so fresh from camera. Captured about 1 hour ago at Paris Van Java, one of famous malls in Bandung. Too stressed with my end-of-semester exam for the whole week, and finally found a reliever.

You are what You Eat

Meet me again, still on holiday-post edition. 

For a long time my mom want me learn to cook. She said woman must has cooking skill even a little. 
Okay mom, although I'm still consider that I'm a woman (without cooking skill of course), lately I have been thinking it's not wrong to give a try for a new thing. Cooking thing!
I'm not a person who spoiled about foods. I eat everything, anything, like an omnivore supposted to be. And actually I never really want to commit a diet again. Because when you live in Bandung, a place where hell-good foods spread every side of your eyes, so hard to hold your desire to eat. 
The other reason is, I did an extreme diet years ago. Until I was able to see my chest bones so clearly. I know it's so creepy, but you never know what would obsessed girl do. 
Thanks God I wasn't diagnosed as anorexic. And finally after suffering with no rice, I can restore my appetite back to normal. 
Maybe I'm not a girl with 00 size, but now I see it as a God's way to make me feel beautiful just the way I am. Believe me, eating is a way to enjoy life and you don't wanna miss that chance. Eat freely, but still eat healthy. 

The first and second photo are about my first home-made spaghetti with cheesy mushroom sauce. Naive enough not to use recipee. About the taste? It tastes salty because I add salt before cheese. Whoops.
The third and fourth photo are my simple vegetable recipee. Green mustard and mushroom with teriyaki sauce. About the taste? I think it's better than my spaghetti 'cause it's not over salty anymore.

Morning Song

This holiday isn't holiday I've expected before. Not at all. Still go to campus almost everyday, still got a lot of task to do. 

It's not my intention to complain. Cause as long I can remember, I really enjoy it. 
I think you will understand if you're a first-year (TPB) student like me. So hard to meet a new friend, especially from another faculty, when all you do in the break  time is study in library. I don't say study is a bad thing, but sometimes you have to sacrifice your social life for it. Just admit it. Haha.
Maybe I shoud explain to you what activity I've been going through from last one month, and until one month later. OSKM, or simply you can call it orientation period. But this year I'm not a participant anymore. I choose to take a part on its medical division. And another good news is I was (finally) inducted last night. Wohoo! 
About this photos.. I don't know, I woke up this morning and suddenly in mood to take some of them. I'm so lucky I live here, when I can see the beautiful sky in every morning. 
Haven't told you yet, last week I decided to put something green on my room and my choice is on that plant. It's cactus family with no thorns. As you now, cactus isn't 'spoiled' in treatment so no problem if I leave it for weeks. By the way its leaf reminds me of lizard's tail.

Part Time Job

Quick post before go to campus. Wanna share my fresh sketch to you, my readers. A girl with wavy hair. Yes, I adore the girls who have long wavy hair so much, tend to a little bit envy with them 'cause they're just perfect girls.

Too long I use pencil just to write, not to make a figure. And now holiday is finally coming. Means it's time to be a part-time artist, say bye for awhile to engineering books. Wohoo!
Always hope you enjoy the pictures.

First Year Closing

Just finished my calculus midterm test today. At least I can relax a little, because the whole exact exams is already passed. 
Everything is turn to be sentimental these days.. The day as a first year student will end very soon, approximately 2 weeks from now. 
The hardest part is I'm gonna lose my best friends again. Maybe not in the real definition of  'lose', but one thing sure is the intensity of my meeting with them will be decrease as we choose the different majors. 
But life's rolling and we must keep going with it. I believe the distance does separate us, but we still find a way to be together again. 
I pray whatever the way you take, my friends, it is the best God has planned for you. Good luck and never give up to chase the highest sky of your dreams.
The photos is taken at the last class. Bet it's the craziest, the most epic moment ever.
