Entah mengapa, mungkin disebabkan 'tempaan' pengalaman family trip sedari masa kecil gue, I'm always manage to bear the part of getting lost during travel-venture, even 'dance' in it. And it's seems getting worse eversince, yang ada, sekarang ini, getting lost during the travel journey is indeed the ultimate part of the journey itself.
Candu, as I call it myself. Mulai dari lost-perience selama 4 jam sewaktu pertama kali menjejakan kaki di Paris untuk menemukan rute metro yang tepat menuju inn yg sudah dibooking; tersesat kala mencari hotel sekembalinya dari training di kantor Singapore (we manage to get lost on Orchard road from one end to the other one, spending almost two hours just to realize that we're heading to the the totally opposite direction) sampe kaki lecet2 gegara pake wedges shoes yg lumayan + sempernya bahu karena masi bawa laptop yg niat awalnya masi mo dibuka sesampainya kembali ke hotel (realitanya boro2 ditengok :))); nyasar berjam-jam di Pisa kala mencari letaknya si menara Pisa tea (the view, however, is totally worth it :D); hingga nyasar di Bali sampe ampir ditilang polisi sana (this time the Lumuters gone crazy).
Miss the feeling of getting lost in it, coz sometimes getting lost will make you find your true identity.
So, soon I am expecting to get 'lost' again. Anyone's joining?

*ps: pardon me for the mixed up language use in this posting, hope you didn't get lost in it :p

Still in Rome
Back to the Euro-venture, after visiting Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and wandering around Rome's attractive souvenir shops, we walk around Rome's street and try the feeling of being a Romans #halah
My travel partner, Wiena was still on her excited mode to look upon one of Roma's tourist spot, Spanish Steps, yet i dont feel well myself (blame the jet-lag or the 'poisonous' tap water, still :p)
Since the sky is dark already, we decide to just stop for a while in front of some gorgeus building's ladder facing to also a beautiful places of living, think its one of borjouis area we're stopping in back then. Europe's architecture is definitely one of the best in the whole world!
Well rested for almost half an hour, we're back on the road and found another beautiful church on the side of the street (pic come later), (still) wonder how they can create such a mega-architecture that still manage to embodies Europe's ellegants beauty *breathtaking*
Oya, we didnt manage to find the Spanish steps afterall :( yet, we manage to find a restaurant to have dinner, yeay!! Its my favourite time of the day *loh kok* :))
Finishing the dinner, which was great, we're getting back to the hotel, try the city bus of Rome coz we don't feel like going with the Roma Metro at night (considering the prev observation we made). So we wait along the line for the bus stop. Turned out that Rome's public transport were more or less like Jakarta, not so comfy, not much public information available and crowded during the peak hour, but it was fine coz we can still pull it off :)
Back to the hotel and rest we are as tomorrow in the very early morning we will have a train to catch to Pisa. Yes!! We are going to visit the Pisa Tower indeed *big smile*
To be continued, Pal :)

It’s Bond, James Bond. #Skyfall - The review
This is what I called an action movie!
I gotta admit I have never watched James Bond movie at the theater in my twenty six years of life. (Yeah, you can mock on me for this)
Been watching Bond’s old movie from my father’s collection,
and not a fan, until now.
This current Bond, is seriously define the real action movie.
No exaggerated weapon, they keep it simple and real, though still with
super-agent personal power.
You will be served with crazily good series of action from the
beginning and I gotta tell you, the Skyfall song is a complete match for the
movie. Viva la Adele! :)
Slipped in between the opening to next chapter on the movie,
the fx applied for the movie soundtrack is well played.
You will also find one or two refreshing humors in it, and
it’s very good. What’s also good are those cities view captured in the movie, I
find some of it, breathtaking.
The ending is also a good closure, and as a closing, this
007 is successfully enchanting me. I am now a fan.

ingin Jakartaku..
Sebagian besar dari 24 jam hidup para pekerja di Jakarta mungkin dihabiskan di jalan. Bukannya kota ini tanpa cela maupun selah, tetapi pesonanya memang tak tertahankan bagi masyarakat kebanyakan. Tidak hanya fakta bahwa lebih dari separuh uang yang dihasilkan oleh Indonesia berputar di Jakarta, namun kota ini memang memiliki keunggulannya sendiri.
Tak perlu dijelaskan dimananya, sebab saya sendiri tidak akan tahan jika diasingkan dari kota ini lebih dari satu bulan. Rindu macetnya, rindu ritmenya, rindu orang-orangnya (yang cenderung ‘gila’), rindu magnet Jakarta.
Akan tetapi, tak kurang dari setahun terakhir ini, saya mulai merasakan adanya perubahan pada Jakarta. Bukan perubahan yang baik, sayangnya. Kota ini makin kejam, makin rusuh, makin mumet dan menjadi tidak menyenangkan. Mulai dari lalu lintasnya yang semakin tidak karuan karena terlalu banyak kendaraan pribadi, genangan air (baca: banjir) setelah hujan maupun gerimis, serta polusi udara yang semakin mencekik nafas.
Lantas dimana peran pemerintah yang seharusnya bisa mencegah kota ini dari kehancurannya?
Saya berharap Jakarta memiliki transportasi publiknya sendiri. Yang aman, nyaman dan tepat waktu. Bukan hanya sekedar Trans Jakarta yang belakangan ini justru memiliki permasalahannya sendiri. Tinggal sebut saja: terbakar ketika sedang beroperasi, banjir di dalamnya saat hujan deras tiba, tiba-tiba mogok, penumpangnya yang terlalu padat dipaksakan karena kurangnya armada, belum lagi waktu tunggunya yang sama sekali tidak dapat diprediksi.
Rencana pembangunan MRT sendiri membawa angin segar bagi kebanyakan masyarakat umum yang masih bergantung pada transportasi publik dalam aktivitas harian mereka. Semoga saja MRT ini tidak hanya sekedar wacana, apalagi hanya teronggok layaknya tiang pancang di Patal Senayan (yang pada akhirnya malah dijadikan fondasi jalan layang).
Harapan adanya sistem transportasi publik yang memungkinkan perjalanan dari satu ujung Jakarta ke ujung lainnya dalam waktu tidak lebih dari satu jam, mungkin saat ini masih sekedar impian. Jika hal ini terwujud, maka dapat dipastikan Jakarta akan dapat lebih berkembang dari keadaan sekarang. Bahan bakar tidak akan habis terbuang percuma karena ratusan kendaraan pribadi yang terjebak macet sehari-hari. Tingkat stres yang dihadapi penduduknya juga pasti akan menurun. Secara otomatis, produktivitas ibukota akan meningkat.
Satu lagi yang saya impikan dari Jakarta: perbanyak taman kota!
Kota ini butuh tempat rekreasi yang bukan lagi berupa mall atau pusat perbelanjaan lainnya, sekaligus paru-paru kota yang bisa membantu mengurangi polusi udara yang semakin dominan belakangan ini.
Jakarta yang aman dan nyaman, itu yang saya impikan.
Pada akhirnya, Gubernur yang dibutuhkan kota Jakarta tidak lagi hanya sekedar mereka yang punya pengalaman, tetapi lebih pada mereka yang punya visi dalam menjadikan ibukota negara ini jauh lebih baik daripada keadaan saat ini, terbebas dari segala agenda ‘kantong’ pribadi maupun agenda para pendukungnya.
