WONDERFUL Summer Moment in Northern Scandinavia (part three)

more time in Sweden..

23rd of July was the day that we should say goodbye to the campsite and some people who should leave on that day.. It was really bad cause Nuknik from Thailand was the first person who left from the camp. She left at 9am in the morning, then Jasper at 12pm in the afternoon :( It was really bad that we should say goodbye them before the camp exactly ended. After that, we needed to clean allll the stuffs at the campsite like before. Collect all the things together and cleaning of course. 3pm is coming so we needed to go and said goodbye to the staffs except Nic who will accompany us to the hostel. On the way to the hostel, Frida, Ellinor, and Merilin should go to central station to put their luggage in the locker. At the hostel, we were just laying down and changed clothes or took a shower then we went out again to meet that 3 girls at Slussen cause they will leave in the evening. We went together to subway for our lunch, but i didnt eat till we needed to say goodbye to them :'( More people has just left that day.. We just walked around, bought some beers, and met up again in a beer or alcohol party where we couldn't buy any cause we need to be 21 haha. So we moved to the park, drank some beers, played a drinking game, and suddenly it was raining so hard, so from under the tree we decided to move to the subway. There were so funny stuffs we've done there hahaha. Since that time, we seperated the group between the people who have 18 years old id card with the people who dont have.

I was the one who went out with the 18 years old group hahaha we just hangout together, find some bars, drank beers and had fun a lot, till we went to a club and dance!! Yeaa baby.. It was me, Mari, Martin, Thomas, Eli, Amy. We were out till 3am under the rain with the really cold weather, sucks!! So i decided to go in to the hostel, changed my outfits and took a rest for like only 1 or 2 hours. When i woke up, another people was ready to say goodbye :'(

I started crying when i hugged my bestfriend, Eirin and Mari. Mari left that morning and i was sooo freaking sad hmpf.. and Henrik with Anna as well. After saying goodbye to them and cried, we slept again till we woke up at the midday, but while we were sleeping, Billy also left from the hostel. In the afternoon, Luis also left. It was a really bad day for me cause i felt so empty without some people who had left before :( i was in a badmud till Eirin wanted a cheerful Icha. So i took a nap for a while, took a shower, and ready to go to meet all the rest of the partcipants who were still there and the staffs. We had dinner together at the pizza restaurant, then at the park which has a really nice view, we were just drinking, talking, and stuffs, also met Oliver as the guitarist (poor guy). At midnight, we sang happy birthday to Cris together. ohhh She was drunk at that night hahaha it was funny :p After that time, we hangaround together to find some good bar or clubs to go in, but we had a pretty bad bar (>.<) so after that, cause its late already, so me, Eli, Martin, and Cris decided to back at the hostel. The Colombians left at 6am (the next day) and it was 4am, so i just slept only for two hours and i should said goodbye again :(

I didn't cry at that time, i was just woke up so hard for me to cry.. I didn't sleep again cause in an hour, Mike and Amy left as well, so I just cried in Eli's bed :'( After they left, me and Eirin went back to the room, cried together till we fell asleep together in the same bed. Suddenly, Ran came and woke Eirin up cause they needed to be ready to put all the things at the central station, so i needed to wake up as well and i cried again, although that's not the time to say goodbye yet. They went out first, me and Cris went out together to meet them again and had lunch together at the central station. Ohh well.. after lunch we should run to catch up the time for the bus to the airport. It's so memorable cause we needed to run out to the street only to say goodbye to the Norwegians cause it's confusing to explain haha. Hell yeaa, i cried again :'( Then we were back to the central station to meet Fred, but we decided to go back to the hostel and again said goodbye to Paula, Marzia, Andrea, Fred and i cried again hahaha.

4 people left now.. me, Cris, Karlota, and Thomas

We went out to someplace i dont remember, but at least we still had something to do. We had dinner at the good ThaiFoods shop and at night we stayed out in the rock up to the park. The next day, we just went out to the oldtown, bought some things, and just walked around till at night we should go to the central station. Again ohh again we said goodbye to Cris and i almost cried. Then we bought some beers again and stayed at the rock again as usual. We stayed up late again this day. 3 people left in the next morning.. Thomas woke up early, so i woke up as well and took a shower, packed my things and Thomas has just gone hahaha. So I decided to go out as well after i'm done pack my things. I bought a bread for breakfast, went to the back changed my money, and back to the hostel. Met Thomas and woke Karlota up, then had a boat sightseeing till we wee hungry and had burger as our lunch :D

Walked around the Old Town Street, stayed for a while, back to the hostel, out again for beers, and back to the hostel for sleep. At the next day, we woke up early and went to the airport without breakfast (>.<) cause we were in hurry for Thomas' flight. So in front of the check-in counter, we said goodbye again to Thomas but i couldn't cry anymore. Then we went to anoter terminal for Karlota, had some chit.chat outside, ate Mc.Donalds, stayed with nothing to do, till the time for Karlota to check-in and again ohh again I needed to say goodbye to the last person i met at the camp who left from Sweden. Walked alone to my terminal, Eirin called me and had 15minutes talks, cried together again, and said goodbye again :( thanks for calling me and said goodbye to me.. wait for 1 or 2 more hours till the time for check-in and flew to Holland. When the plane started to move, I started crying again and said goodbye to Sweden.. which the people around was looking at me hahaha lol

At the Holland, tried to catch up the time for check-in, meet Om Paulus, shared a lot fun things from our camps, and here we are back in Indonesia :)

conclusion:

it was FUN.. it was SAD.. it was MEMORABLE.. it was AMAZING.. it was NICE being in Sweden.. it was TIRING.. it was AWESOME..

.. done,, 4 hours to write these 3 full blogs haha hope you enjoy it! ..

WONDERFUL Summer Moment in Northern Scandinavia (part two)

Sweden ohh Sweden, arrived on 2nd of July in the afternoon and wait at the airport for 4 hours before i went to the central station. hmm.. It was confusing cause i was alone in the middle of unknown place, but i need to survive till i meet my host family at the central station with my 2 heavy luggages and a box of noodles. I was waiting for almost an hour alone till they found me and Cris from Brazil after that. First Impression of her,, she's cool, crazy, talkative, and... many more haha she's fun! A little bit chit.chat with her till the bedtime and on the next day, we woke up early and got ready to go to the meeting point. They drove us to the central station to meet Mari from Brazil as well. but suddenly, there were 3 people or just a guy who asked Cris if She's from CISV, and they are the Norwegians (Henrik, Eirin, Ran) - Henrik recognized me anyway, that's why he came to ask Cris if we were from CISV haha. Then Mari came and not too long, Ellinor from Sweden and Paula from Finland came as well cause they had an appoinment to meet the Norwegians there. Finally Billy came to meet us as well. And yeaa time to put our luggages at the locker, so we could go around the city or the shopping area. Well, cause we were so many people there, so we decided to separate the group and met up again at the central station at the time we've decided and go to Slussen as our meeting point together. I was with Mari, Billy, and Cris just hang.around to see the nice city and Mari took some pictures of it. and it's..

Slussen tiimmeee!! We were there and met up the rest of the participants, had a small chatting to introduce ourself, met also the guy from the Swedish CISV people who'll bring us to the campsite. We used the bus to go to the campsite, but 1 stop before our campsite's stop, the staffs went it to the us with some funny outfits hahaha. At the camp, they introduced their self as the staffs and the campsite. Then we had freetime, some of them went swimming, but some of us just sit together took some photos and made some fun. ohh yeaa,, again i met Fred as my Village leader from Canada, he was my staff at this Seminar Camp hahaha cool uhh met 3 people in the same summer from my village camp 2002 :)

I think it's enough to tell about my first and 2nd day in Sweden haha now i need to talk about the whole camp..

First of all, i would liketo say I LOVE THIS SEMINAR CAMP A LOT!!! i dont know how to express it, but i'm proud of this camp. For the first and the second day, we didnt do too much planning cause all the staffs had prepared all the things to bring us understand how make the rules, how to make the schedule, how to make a good planning group, what activities and energizers, how to make a really good and meaningful activities, and so on.. For me, they did really well and creative.

Then like in the 2nd day to be there, We had our First Camp Meeting which was really hard cause we needed to talk a lot of things there and we haven't known well yet to each other, so we hadn't understand yet about everyperson's characters. We took so much time for it till we decided our new calender, rules, planning group, cooking group, cleaning group, and the schedule, also the people who were responsible to write it down on the paper. Well yeaa,, It was a really hardwork to do with so many stuffs to think for 3 weeks at the camp. By the time goes by, finally we got along to each other, we had fun together with some jokes and stupid things to do. But beside that, of course we also had so many problems in it, like about the cleaning which was really dirty at the toilet, cleaning for the dishes as well, about respect each other, and blablabla.. so many problems makes me don't remember all of it haha. That's why we had a lot of camp meeting while we were at the camp, just to find the solutions and also we should be responsible with everything we've decide.

At the camp, we had a pretty good schedule of activity and the type of the activities. I'm proud to all of you who have been thinking about a really nice, great, and meaningful games. We did a really good plans for it. Tiring and Stressfull, that's what happened to us.. Hmm.. We didn't have any theme for our own camp and at first it's hard for me to make the activity, but i tried to learn how to make a really god activities with so many ideas without the same point which we have to be related into it. It opens my mind a lot cause now i have a lot of ideas about the activities after we've done all the best activities ever!! All the activities what we've done are mostly related to the real life, it's kinda simulation games. Simulation games is one of the hardest games to prepare and we should really well-planned for it. But it's fun after we've succeed to do it!

Bout the friendship.. hmm.. This camp is the best ever!! I've never been like this before as crazy as the others, as talk.ative as the others, shared a lot of things i've known as my knowledge with them, and things i've never done before in my camps with CISV. And in this camp, I absolutely changed a lot! That's why i could feel the friendship between us, i could enjoy the time being there, i could forget allll the things in my real life, even my family or my friends or my hometown, i just forgot them for 4 weeks in Europe. It means i had something special from this camp and I'm proud to be myself..

At the last full day at the camp, we had a lot of things to do, like writting letters to all of us and print all the things for our campshirt. It was freaking wonderful for me..

conclusion:

1. I improve my english a lot!

2. I learnt a lot from the activities, from the situation, from the country, from the habit, from the differences, from respect each other, how to react, and many things..

3. I had a lot close friends and bestfriends

4. I learnt how to cook hahahaha

5. I learnt to be more mature than before

6. mooorreee and moooreeee.......

WONDERFUL Summer Moment in Northern Scandinavia (part one)

These are my schedule for the last summer in Northern Scandinavia, Europe..

28th of June flew to Norway alone with so much worried and tears cause i felt friendsick while i was in Malaysia for transit haha embrassing i know. 29th of June finally i arrived in Norway after a loooonnngg trip from Malaysia to Holland, then Norway. I was there till the 2nd of July and moved to Sweden for my LOVELY Amazing Seminar Camp which started on the 3rd of July and ended on the 23rd of July, but i stayed for 5 more nights in Sweden after the camp. So i went back home on the 28th of July an arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia on 29th of July evening.

Yeapp! And now is the time to talk about what i've done there..

Norway ohh Norway, how cool and WONDERFUL is Austhreim hometown ~ an hour from Bergen!! haha Ohh Well, 29th of June was the date when Tone Marit H. Dyrkolbotn a.k.a Tonis was waiting for me at the airport. Waved our hands when i saw her from above before i took my luggages, then took my 2 small luggages which were heavy and a little noodle box, and WOW!! I met her again, hugged her, some chit.chat, but still i felt incredible to be there with her by my own trip hahaha. So my first day in Norway had just started, she drove me back to her house, but before that we met her cousin first at her job place thingie and went to the minisupermarket to buy some juices and chocolates. In the evening, we went to see the islands and took some photos, ending up with eating strawberries, including played the trampoline with Sara as well as her crazy friend till midnight (cause they werent dark yet till midnight haha which is so damn different with Indonesia). Well It was a really nice view there, Love It!

30th of June is the time for Bergen. I was there with my special and the best guide ever in Norway, she's Tonis hahaha. Visited the fish market, Bryggen (which one is this, i forget haha oops, should ask her again lol), and Fløyen ~ Fløibanen *small train to go up to the mountain*. Up to the mountain, we played with the trolls in the forest, ate ice cream, and enjoying the really really beutiful view over Bergen! Yay! Then we visited Tonis' grandma, she ordered us strawberries and watermelon with the delicious vanilla sauce, that was good haha like it really much! And this is my new experience that i should be proud of hahaha I filled the gasoline on a car, yahaaa!! In the evening, we went to the new Kebab Store and met up some of her friends till we were home, talked to her family a bit and gudnite then ~

1st of July as my last full day in norway :( Woke up early this day cause we wanted to go to the Dyrkolbotn Mountain by using the COOL yellow car without the roof all the way to go there. We went through the tunnels inside the mountain on the way to that mountain haha. Hmm well, go to the other mountain with a car without roof and went trough the tunnels, including the special view and nice weather there were really AWESOME and MEMORABLE for me wohoo! Then we arrived in the mountain, took some stuffs for row the boat more up of that mountain. So we needed to hike a bit to go to the lake, prepared all the things, and this is the time for me to go fishing haha again and again, this was my first experience to do it, but i got one! Yeaa and Tonis taught me how to kill the fish *eww*. Then we decided to stop in the nice and good place to sunbathing which we fell asleep for 2 hours without the SUNCream (>.<) till I became darker cause i got tan and Tonis became red/pink cause she got sunburned haha. Back to the mountain's house as their family house, ate chicken with her uncle and his partner. It's time to go home with another way to go. Arrived in her house and met Sara again cause she wanted to say goodbye to me :( So, we played a bit in front of her house before we had Rømmegraut (Sour-Cream Porridge) and Fenalår (sheep-hip).

2nd of July, means i needed to leave Norway and went to Sweden :'( Woke up early to catch up the time cause we decided to go to Hanne's house. Once again, WOW!! After 7 years we just got in contact by using facebook, now i could meet her again face.to.face for real hahaha. Half an hour only to talk with her cause i needed to go to Flesland Airport as soon as possible. An hour had just left and i was there at the airport, checked-in, and *hmpf I hate this to say goodbye* hugged her with saying goodbye. I felt so bad and I cried a bit when i hugged her :( At the toilet, at the plane, till at the Arlanda Airport in Sweden, cried a lot cause i miss my sister called Tonis a lot..

but I had a really WONDERFUL trip with you, sist! I won't forget that time and I'll be back again someday and somehow hahaha orrrr... How about you go to Indonesia? I'll wait for you and we're really welcome to you..

Conclusion:

1. I've learnt a loooottt of new things in this hometown, like how to eat the bread, how to slice the cheese, how to fill the gasoline in a car, how to row the boat, how to go fishing, and there are stil a lot of things i can't mention here.

2. I could feel the pretty cool place which is so different situation and condition with a big city in Jakarta and I LOVE being there with the nice weather.

3. I met a lot of new friends

4. I learnt some Norwegian words, songs, and etc.

.. to be continued ..

who says family is everything?

Everybody says if "Family is GOD's best present!!"
but for me, i still feel Nothing Special with my family..
what's so special from them?? what can you do with them??

NGIRI, itu kata yg slalu aja ad di otak gw klo ngmg soal fams ma org lain
MALU, itu jg yg bs gw rasain kalo lagi ngmg ttg fams
knapa? ada apa? hmm..
jawabannya krn gw masih mrasa ga nyaman dgn kluarga gw ndiri
kluarga gw terdiri dr org2 yg blooommm bs nerima keadaan yg laen, tmasuk gw
kita slalu jalan dgn ego kita masing2, bahkan ad yg ga sadar dgn klemahannya
dan kalo ditegur malah keras kepala en ngotot mati2an
tapi ada juga yg mempermasalahkan hal kecil jadi hal besar
cape jujurlahh!! males rasanya sama kluarga, wpun gw masi blajar mghargai mrk

mungkin ini jadi salah satu alesan knapa gw sayang bgt sama sahabat2 gw
sahabat2 yg udah gw percaya untuk gw bs curhat, nangis, crita, dan ditrima nasihatna
ga cuma sahabat2 di Indo, tp sahabat2 dr camp gw juga gw sayang bgt
ini point penting bwad gw pribadi yg mau nyari seseorang yg bs ngerti gw
seseorang yg mau negur gw bkn dgn cara maksa untuk bs brubah saat itu juga
thanks a lot for all of my best friend..
but i need to say sorry to all of you, cause of these problems, sometimes i can be annoying
cause i really LOVE you and need you, of course i dont wanna lose you :(

my own dream family yaa cm byar gw stidakna bs nyaman dgn kalian,
but HOW ????

sampe skarang, tiap kali ada masalah dtg, gw cm bisa
sabar. dengerin mreka ngoceh. diem. dan tegar.!!
