Very late post : Stockholm Trip

2 Comments »

Ini blog udah setahun ternyata ngga di update ... semenjak sibuk sama internship tahun lalu .... trus punya iPhone jadinya malah rajin mainan instagram ... jadinya males banget deh nge update ... tapi sekalinya blogwalking suka jadi pengen ngeblog lagi ... kayaknya enak aja sharing ini itu dan blog kan bagus untuk flashback kenangan2 yang udah lalu (a life to remember maksudnya... hehe) tapi sekarang jadi bingung mau mulai darimana / gimana... jadi seada2nya ajalah daily life / life milestone ... dan kayaknya full bahasa Indonesia aja soale  kemampuan bahasa Inggris udah makin hancur dibantai sama bahasa Jerman hehe... dan akan tetap anonim tanpa foto muka karena eke malu ah udah lewat dari umur ABG masak masih narsis. Sekarang post foto2 jalan2 aja kali ya... akhir bulan Maret kemarin (waduh setengah tahun yang lalu ya) sempet jalan2 sendirian ke Stockholm 5 hari 4 malem merayakan internship yang udah selesai (lebay) dan sekalian refreshing sebelum mulai ngerjain final project di kampus... dan sekalian juga emang belum pernah ke Skandinavia. Bohong deng motif utamanya pengen ke toko2 baju khas Swedia... Monki, Acne, Cheap Monday, Bik Bok, etc, hihihi

ini kamar hostelnya ... lokasinya di downtown banget ... harga okelah... ga kotor tapi ga sebersih yang ada di foto fesbuk mereka ... kekurangannya cuma WiFinya cuma ada di common room itu pun agak on off...  dan seluruh hostelnya di ruangan bawah tanah jadinya ga ada jendela (agak creepy :s ... tapi tetep oke dan cukup recommended
ini ga tau sih nama tempatnya apa yang pasti di pulau yang ada kota tua nya (pulau Gamla Stan) .... akhir bulan Maret masih dingin kisaran dibawah minus 3 sampe 0 derajat... di atas airnya masih ada esnya keliatan... tapi untungnya sunny banget selama di Stockholm
Makan siang sendirian di Vapiano (yaa namanya juga traveling sendirian) .... sebenernya sih Vapiano juga banyak di Jerman tapi sengaja nyari tempat makan  yang berwifi dan duduknya nyaman.... sebadan2 pegel abis jalan (masuk dari satu toko ke toko lain hihi) jadi sekalian numpang istirahat
Lagi2 numpang duduk hehe. Ini di public library yang lokasinya di pusat kota... berhubung di luar dingin dan lagi capek .... akhirnya iseng ke gedung ini dan nemu reading area buat pengunjung library ... ga salah deh yah Swedia sukses banget sama Ikea ... library aja keren begini. Kursi yang gw dudukin itu (keliatan kan mantul dari kaca) bentuknya kayak bola transparan dan digantung ke plafon kayak naik ayunan .. kece beuutt...
Kalo ngga salah ini didalemnya toko Cheap Monday (lupa kebanyakan masuk toko nyari diskonan) ... lumayan sih jeans nya yang di jeans yang di diskon jadi 120 ribu rupiah saja ... tapi ga beli karena emang lagi ngga nyari celana jeans..
Ini juga di old town area (Gamla Stan) ... indah ya .... tua tua antik gimana gitu... sayang ga ada yang bisa diminta tolong fotoin. Di Stockholm ga begitu rame turis kotanya... ada sih turis tapi ga heboh yang pake group tour gitu2...

Malem terakhir sebelum besoknya balik lagi ke Jerman pergi makan all you can eat Asian Buffet... mahal ciiiinn (namanya juga Skandinavia... sigh) ..... tapi apa daya lidah Indonesia udah ga tahan lagi pengen makan makanan Asia... kalo di kurs ke Euro sekitar 23 Euro ... tapi taste nya memang enak. Di Stockholm banyak banget liat restoran makanan Asia... tapi ya itu tadi harganya Skandinavia bukan Pasar Baru ... tapi selama perjalanan kemarin hemat makannya karena pagi selalu masak Indomie goreng jumbo di hostel... siang ngemil2 roti ... sore atau malem baru deh makan berat yang bener. Next blog post kayaknya bakalan foto2 late post lagi nih (banyak hutang setahun gak nge blog) ... masih hutang posting trip ke New York Sept tahun lalu ... ke Indonesia Desember tahun lalu (tapi cuma ada foto makanan doang di Indonesia) ... Stockholm sudah lunas ... bulan Mei birthday trip ke Zürich sama awal Agustus kemarin Lebaran an di Milan ... mudah2an segera lunas hutang2 post tsb. :)

it is recommendable to go to Vitra Design Museum in Summer, the 20 minutes walking distance from the train stattion must be more bearable in summer than in winter .... it's not a station actually just a little stopover point .... and you can pick many fresh cherries fresh from the tree .... the museum itself is kinda tiny better not expect that much. All pictures above are from their five story showroom building, a pretty enchanting architecture-baby from Herzog de Meuron.

5th week

No Comments »


this is my fifth week in my new flat, and all things are almost settled down .... one box left to be wholly unpacked .... the walls are still empty (as if empty walls are something harmful) ..... the wall rack are finally hanging above my desk and also above the dressing-up mirror (thanking Y and his electric drill machine, I'm helpless without them) Really love the fact that my bedroom is 18 square meters .... I feels like inviting my girls to do some pajamas party every time girls-only time is needed. I just ordered a rug online (picture above) .... and soon gonna order a beanbag online, ah decorating my own sanctuary always makes me feel content (and the happiness kinda disappear when I check my bank account) A shoe rack supposed to come soon (omg how to not love Amazon) .... gonna add some pretty flowers and I guess I'm done with all the decoration thingy.

I had anyway a very nice nye celebration, simply a hilarious night ...
Have a nice Monday y'all.

ps : school is getting tense, I need to invest more time for school, sigh.

a good news, after 6 weeks of house-hunting .... I got a room in a shared-flat .... will moving in on 1st of Dec .... and the-soon-to-be-my-bedroom has a quite dark parquet floor. Gonna need to re-paint the wall as the current color is yellowish white (blame nicotine from cigarette) ..... and I'm considering these combinations ..... navy blue + pale blue .... or baby pink + pale grey, any other suggestions maybe? Meanwhile school are getting okay, able to invest more time on assignment since the house-hunting phase is over. And despite the fact that I'm financially very broke .... I'm contented and thankful for everything .... and even cherish every single cup of green tea in the morning.

afternoon nachos + taco at Daphne Dahee and Collin's apartment. I somehow like Chicago better than San Francisco ... yet I like Stuttgart the most!

time-out and re-decor

No Comments »

since last month or so my daily life was controlled by my agenda, moving my ass from one place to another .... put my study on the top priority .... simply trying to be a perfectionist (but not the bitchy and skinny one, the nice one) Today is the first day after more than one month that my agenda is empty, yeah baby nothing to execute .... I cooked lunch and took a nap .... took shower around 5 pm and slowly doing some unimportant things. Taking a break never feels this good before.

kinda re-decorating my room
new baby from urban outifitters, tea set

finally cuddling around with those fluffy blankets
new paper lampion (room re-decor) and pale like a cheese toes

Pays d'Appenzell

was in Appenzeller, Switzerland last Thursday .... actually went there to visit a carpenter's workshop, and ended up as one of the nicest day-trip ever made. The panorama was simply magnificent .... dreamlike and idyllic. All the home interior pictures are taken inside the original Appenzeller timber house, built approximately 200 years ago.

little creature and fake plants

went to IKEA today with F .... she just moved into new apartment (less than 10 mins walking distance from my place, perfect!!) .... so she need many IKEA thingy supply, meanwhile I feel the need to buy unimportant things to decorate my place. I ended up with 3 fake plants (they looks so real) .... 1 real plant with yellow vase ..... tea pot .... cover for my blanket .... a set of storage box .... and coffee pads for Philips Senseo (please blame IKEA for offering household-unrelated items) Last Saturday in Strasbourg I also bought a plastic table cloth. And now this is how our living room looks like ....


say hello to Kenzie my nephew. I miss this little creature I want to meet him so bad. Turn out that missing someone that you've never met before is possible! Have a lalala weekend everyone.

Retro Retter

No Comments »


Retro style definition "a culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall postmodern past, but have since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again. The use of "retro" style iconography and imagery interjected into post-modern art, advertising, mass media, etc. has occurred from around the time of the industrial revolution to present day" from Wikipedia.

Visit to Weißenhofsiedlung last week makes me in love (again) with Retro style. Interior style I've seen lately is either affordable IKEA style or modern style with unaffordable pieces. IKEA style is sooo mainstream that it somehow doesn't give you homy feeling anymore, it gives you ..... well ..... only IKEA feeling (my apologies Ingvar Kamprad :) And the modern style ..... Le Corbusier-wannabe-leather-sofa for example.... well it's ellegant and classy and look so excellent .... but sometimes it's just too clean it left nothing but empty feeling. Lack of homy atmosphere.

The point is? Need to save more money so I'll be able to afford to have my own place and decorate it with cozy dull yet timeless Retro style .... in the meantime restyling our tiny family apartment in Jakarta would be a good idea.

tapas and treadmill

I turned 24 two days ago .... the number really freaks me out. Oh my I'm twenty four ..... twenty four boy! My biggest wish would be finish to my study and being able to stand on my own feet. Since booth wishes are impossible for now , I better keep running constantly in this "treadmill machine" ..... prepare myself for the real life marathon.

ps. pictures above are from a restaurant in Sevilla (xmas holiday 2009) ... we only had casual Tapas, but I love how pretty the dinnerware were.

yesterday the snow came again along with a mini wind storm. I went to to IKEA with a friend to freshen up our mind. I urgently need a curtain for my bedroom window ...... but I didn't find the suitable one ....... then I ended up standing in front of cashier with a flower motives bed cover, a wall clock and a table lamp. I reached home before dusk then spending a quiet Saturday night with warm tea and yahoo messenger ...... and did some watercolor painting before cuddling with the blanket.




On Tue and Wed comes the middle grade test. Wish me luck, toi toi toi.

I feel like transforming my bedroom from crisp white to baby pink, but I actually live in a shared apartment for boys - so it's NOT possible baby (why I live here again? cheap rent) This weekend I'll just rest at home ........ or not ...... maybe I'll take a walk and hunt for a poster or two........ or not, I forgot I have an appointment to make an architecture model ...... ugh. Until then.
