happy birthday ROBBY!

happy birthday!

soooo, yeah it's robby's bday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to youuu from kiddos :))

The night before his bday, we managed to get his eyes closed. We dragged him around the city and finally took him to his room. We've stolen his apartment key so we could come in and prepared the surprise!

Robby with his eyes closed

We gave him a box, which was wrapped by newspaper. He tried hard to open the multiple layers or wrapping! HAHA and he found out there was another box inside the first box, and another box inside the second one :p

1st box!

2nd one

And it was just our trick! We actually didn't put the real present inside the box, we've hide it somewhere else HAHA soo here's what he found inside the last box

finally HAHA!!

'Maaf! Anda kurang beruntung' means 'Sorry! It's just not your luck' ahaha he need to find the real present. And remembering that his room was already full with newspapers, it was hard for him to find it but finally he made it! yeayyyyy

it's KIDDOS :*

It's a memorable night! It was the first time ever one of us had our birthday. We realized that we need each other and we care about one another. Remember, YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND :)))

And it all followed by a dinner at Meat & Wine. Although we need to walk in rain and wind, it was a very good night. We dressed up and ready to celebrate Robby's birthday HAHA

We ordered six steaks for each of us and beef carpaccio as the starter, and also one full rack ribs for sharing. We were so full but happy at the same time.

Thank you Robby for a great dinner and thank you KIDDOS for an amazing friendship :**

LA BELLE MIETTE

La Belle Miette

La Belle Miette. French words for "beautiful small thing". La Belle Miette is a small shop, small cafe which sells many flavors of macaroons. To complement the macaroons, it offers teas from Mariage Freres and also lemonade.

The small cafe really makes us feel like we're in France. All white furnitures make it more classic and beautiful. They also hv many decorations which are also made from macaroons.

Hardware Societe

Hardware Societe is a small cafe which is located in Melbourne CBD. First impression, CUTE. The decoration and interior of the cafe is very cozy and nice. It only opens for breakfast and lunch, but ppl most likely come here for breakfast and late breakfast.

This morning, my friends and I tried the breakfast menu. The most popular menu is the Croque Madame. We ordered that and scrambled egg, both were good and very nice for breakfast.

Gaijin Japanese Fusion

Gaijin is a restaurant in Melbourne, owned by Indonesians. They offer wide range of fusion sushi, which are similar with those in Indonesia, Sushi Tei and Sushigroove I think.

What I recommend from this restaurant is Gaijin Special Salmon Salad and Spider VS Dragon Roll. They are the best seller in Gaijin. The dishes here are quite small, you better order many of 'em HAHA

I came here with 5 of my friends. First, we ordered 2 appetizers and 6 plates of sushi. It all gone only in a couple of minutes!! Then we ordered 3 more main courses, which are also good. The fried rice and beef teriyaki are nice, but the special king fish is the BEST.

Lincoln Square - Bali Memorial

Lincoln Square Park is a memorial park for Bali bombing's victim. It is located at Lincoln Square, Swanston Street, Carlton. The park is not too big, but it's quite nice and fresh bcos it is surrounded by big trees. 

me and alvina

Luckily, this park is just in front of Trinity College, the place where I study. And today, our biology teacher let us study outside, in the park, remembering that the weather today was very nice. It was a bit hot tho but we found a nice spot under the shades of a tree. We spent one and a half hour there. Doing tutorial questions, chatting, relaxing, and taking photos HAHA

biology students

Aaaandd, it's US! It's not the whole class of course. Some students decided to stay inside the classroom with aircon. Too bad huh? That was actually six of us there, but Ranon took the photo for the girls haha

OKAY! Hopefully tmrw's weather will be as nice as today! Cao ~~

BAILLIEU LIBRARY

Baillieu Library

Library? Sounds boring right? But not this one!

Baillieu Library is the biggest library in University of Melbourne, which located at Parkville Campus. It supports the need of undergraduates, postgraduates, and also researchers. This library acts as a place where students study hard, struggling, but also as a place for relaxation.

Ground Floor

Students, included me, spend much of their times in Baillieu. They might be studying for exam, doin assignment, or simply just using the wifi connection HAHA

I often hang around here lately. We just meet up there, doin some homework and helping each other with their difficulties in college's stuff. We always end up having a nice chat and conversation instead of studying hard and seriously. But that's the best part from our routine in the library.

It's time for my new life here in Australia, fellas!

KIDDOS. what is it? dunno. who knows? dunno.
It's just a word. Yea, a word. But what lies behind that word is the important piece. Our FRIENDSHIP!

So it started on the 3rd day of orientation in TCFS *maybe*
Six of us decided to watch transformer together. And our first restaurant ever is Papagino's. I never thought that we will be this close, but that's how we are at this very moment.

Kiddos is my second family. Every one of you has made my day in melbourne better. We spend most of our times together. College life, shopping, eating, exploring melbourne together.

college life

it's OURS!

my beloved extended family :*

Hey bloggers,

another thing about me and ppl around me.

me and the parentsss HAHA 

miss youuu

extended family and friends :)

My extended family are those whom I met frequently, whom I spent much time with. They are my real family, relatives, and family friends. We've known each other since we were young. We sometimes spent our holiday together and they were unforgettable.

andddd, the cousin I miss the most

partner in crime!

@karinahendro

My cousin is my neighbour! We live next to each other back in Bandung. We almost see each other every day, spend much times together. Shopping, eating, hang out, holiday, even doing nothing together HAHA

I remember one day we just sat next to each other while both of us were busy with our own Blackberry. But still, that's one of many things that keep us close.

Come here soon, cuz! Take careeee ;)

There are things that my extended family love. FAMILY GATHERING. yea we love it!! Lots of ppl thought that a family gathering is really boring. Not for us. We meet up very often, max once every two weeks. But we often see each other on every end of the week. With family and relatives outside Bandung, we manage to create events that brings us together. Christmas dinner, new year party, family holiday, etc.

The point is, I'm very lucky to have you all! SMOOCH! XOXO :*

Best bit of BANDUNG

Hello again!

Bandung. My hometown. My life.


There are things that I love about Bandung. Cafes, restaurants, malls. Streets, weather, surroundings. But what I miss the most is my best best friends. There are 7 of us, but now we are no longer in the same city, we carry on our life in different parts of the world. Bandung, Surabaya, Seattle, Melbourne. I miss you GUYSSSSSS {()}


Although it's not always easy to keep a friendship, but we all manage to do the best efforts to keep ours. 
Someday, somewhere, we'll be TOGETHER. Even when we hv other friends, but I know deep in my heart we feel the same. The sense of belonging to each other, the ups and down of friendship that we have, these made us stronger.
