Cinta dalam sekotak bento

2011-11-26T15:59:00.001+09:00

Ternyata acara NHK sore2 itu edukatif banget yak, jadi seneng nonton jg. Biasanya setelah rentetan kartun dan acara masak buat anak2, ada acara variety show buat pelajar. Topiknya tentunya yang berhubungan dengan sekolah. Kapan hari tu ada tips2 belajar dan ngerjain soal PR serta ulangan dari para mantan pelajar smp/sma yang kini telah punya status mahasiswa di universitas2 ternama di jepang (ya

Universitas terbuka ala saya....

2011-10-30T20:11:00.002+09:00

Mentang2 kuliah lagi..postingannya sekarang soal kuliahan mulu hehehe..gpp yah. Jadi critanya berawal dari kelas yang saya ikuti dari salah satu prof disini. Subject kelas ini sebenarnya menarik tentang advanced functional material , sayang sekali kelasnya dalam bahasa jepang. Ini pertama kalinya saya duduk dikelas dan mengikuti perkuliahan totally in japanese and it gave me a full

Bertanya

2011-10-20T15:01:00.002+09:00

Setelah bertahun2 tidak masuk kelas dan duduk sebagai murid, akhirnya tahun ini saya kembali diberi kesempatan duduk dikelas mengikuti perkuliahan. Ini tentunya bukan pertama kali nya saya duduk dikelas perkuliahan di jepang. Tapi ada satu hal yang baru saya sadari setelah ikut kelas di jepang yaitu murid jarang bertanya pada guru dan guru juga jarang memberi kesempatan pada murid untuk bertanya

Kasih ibu kepada Liu

2011-09-21T13:06:00.001+09:00

Semalam sambil nemenin lintang bobo ada acara yg inspiring sekaligus menyentuh hati ditipi. Ceritanya tentang Liu wei, seorang pianist yang bermain piano dengan kaki. Video dibuka dengan cerita kesuksesan Liu bermain piano dengan jari kakinya di vienna bersama kelompok orkestra disana. Dan tentunya penampilan Liu mendapat simpati banyak orang sekaligus kekaguman akan kemampuan liu bermain piano.

September di Niigata

sepinya niigata Baru2 ini saya berkesempatan mengunjungi Niigata. Bagi yang tidak tahu Niigata itu dimana, bisa cek disini. In short, kota Niigata terletak di Niigata prefecture, yang mana Niigata prefecture itu sendiri terletak di utara Nagano prefecture dan sebelahan dengan fukushima prefecture (tempat dimana tsunami dan pusat masalah krisis nuklir akhir2 ini). "Diskriminasi" di

Penghapus Dosa

2011-05-27T14:58:00.002+09:00

Suatu hari salah satu sahabat saya posting status di akunnya di salah satu social network site. Ga ada yang aneh, teman saya bercerita tentang penyakitnya yang tidak kunjung sembuh. Salah satu teman yang lain lalu menulis komentar dibawahnya "semoga sakitnya menjadi penggugur dosa2nya dimasa lalu ya"Saya terus terang kaget baca komentar seperti itu. Bukan pertama kali nya juga mendengar atau baca

While eating Manju...

2011-02-28T14:04:00.007+09:00

Suatu pagi teman kantor saya (sebut saja namanya Budi) ngajak sarapan bareng2 dengan salah satu kolega kami yang lain. Ternyata dia baru pulang dari Dazaifu tadi pagi nganter adiknya untuk berdoa pada Dewa pendidikan di Dazaifu tenmangu [kuil]. Si adik ternyata sebentar lagi akan ujian masuk universitas hiroshima departemen arsitektur mengikuti jejak ayah mereka yang juga seorang arsitek. Teman

Sampaikanlah walaupun satu ayat.....

2011-02-08T13:07:00.006+09:00

Beberapa hari lalu obrolan tengah malam saya dengan suami berkisar ditopik diatas. Akhir2 ini sering sekali baca tulisan orang dengan topik apapun pasti dihubungkan dengan ayat2 kitab suci. Saya ga menolak itu. Gapapa jg sih sebenarnya. Malah bagus mungkin. Tapi seringkali buat saya penghubungan itu terkesan dipaksakan dan kurang pas. Dan entah kenapa bikin saya sebagai pembaca seringkali ga

Tragedi roro jonggrang-nya si Dadang

2011-01-25T15:39:00.006+09:00

Crita ini tentang tragedi yang dialami teman saya dan saya dalam waktu yg berdekatan. Tragedinya ga persis sama, tapi kira2 moral of the storynya mirip. Teman saya ini sebut saja namanya Dadang. Pada dasarnya Dadang orang yang baik dan menyenangkan diajak ngobrol. Dengan bekal pengalaman dan pengetahuan yang cukup luas, Dadang jadi termasuk salah satu sosok yang disegani dikantor saya. Pertemanan

2010-the year of Lintang

2011-01-11T12:46:00.015+09:00

2010 has been a hell of a year for us. The whole year was crowded by deadline, papers, presentation and for me obviously doctor appointments.I recall started the year by worrying about my baby daughter. She was 1.5 year and yet unable to walk. Both of us (me and my husband) really worried about her. Well, not really that worried, we knew that she would walk someday but quite unsure when. Since we

You know, I really should quit writing at this moment and start working on my paper. But since I lost the appetite to write anything scientific at this very moment, I drowned my self with this book [the rule of four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason), supposedly to get some inspiration or encouragements or spirits or whatever it is necessary to write. Which I did, I did get some inspirations to

2010-09-17T10:57:00.006+09:00

I caught a glimpse of an advertisement hanging inside the train car couple days ago. It was a standard types of Ad with a picture of woman's face covering the entire pages smiling beautifully. Nothing really interesting in that. But the sentence written beside her face saying"hitori de tsuyokunai, dakara minna ga iru"(Alone, I am not strong. That's why I need others)was another that caught me. I

Karna semaleman kurang tidur akhirnya saya bangun dengan terpaksa [dibangunin sinar matahari yg masuk kamar, hal yg sama ternyata dikeluhkan oleh temen2 yglaen]. Setelah mandi panggilan sarapan pun datang. LAgi2 sarapan kita kali ini, baiking/buffet, dan untungnya lagi campuran western buffet dan japanese buffet.

Summer Mystery Tour - Day 1

2010-08-25T10:28:00.020+09:00

Setelah bingung ikut-enggak-ikut-engga, akhirnya saya putuskan ikut juga summer trip kantor saya tahun ini. Awalnya agak seneng juga karna menurut gosip dari si bos kita akan jalan2 ke Kuju, di gunung Aso [kumamoto] sana, seneng jg karna panas2 gini mungkin enaknya ngadem di gunung dan yang paling penting saya belon pernah ke Aso. Tp for some unknown reasons, rencana berubah. Kita semua bakalan

Pemilu di jepang

2010-07-16T10:40:00.003+09:00

Seminggu yang lalu, sambil nemenin lintang bobo nonton variety show di asahi tv. Karna minggu kemaren heboh pemilu, maka variety kali ini topiknya pun ga jauh2 dari pemilu. Untungnya mereka ga ngebahas kecurangan dalam pemilu atau koalisi partai mana yang bakalan menang. Temanya adalah cara voting saat pemilu [coblos atau contreng]. Ternyata Jepang satu2nya negara di dunia yang punya mekanisme

Flowers for Algernon-review

2010-07-06T13:45:00.003+09:00

Another brilliant book I must say. The story is quite simple. Charlie Gordon who was born as a retarded [or mentally challenged, for want a better words], was challenged to be a genius with the help of brain surgery. Not a difficult task for the scientist to conjure him from a retarded to a real Einstein-like genius. The difficult part is when Charlie had to struggle to accept the real truth of

World without end-review

2010-06-24T12:52:00.004+09:00

Akhirnya beres juga !!!Buku setebal 1111 halaman ini memang perlu waktu panjang buat ngeberesinnya. Sedikit kecewa sebenarnya begitu selesai membaca buku ini, entah kenapa, rasa greget yang didapat ketika selesai membaca Pillars of the earth tidak terasa begitu selesai membaca buku ini. Cerita World without end masih berputar disekitar kehidupan katedral Kingsbridge 200 taun setelah katedral itu

The pillar of the earth-review

2010-06-01T12:58:00.010+09:00

Awestruck is a word that crossed my mind right when I finished reading that 990 pages paperback novel, the pillar of the earth written by Ken Follet. Follet is literally has a tremendous imagination that made the story and the character become more alive. The story was centered in the cathedral construction in Kingsbridge, England. The fetching part of the story is not only on how Follet

Sebagian orang bakalan hepi dapat teman baru dan sebagian lagi memilih untuk 'antepin' sajah..karna malas berurusan dengan orang yang tidak dikenal.

2010-04-09T18:41:00.007+09:00

Lately I have been helping my pregnant-friend to get a doctor for her routine pregnancy checkup and find hospital for the delivery. Before made up their mind, we had been in and out of couple of local hospitals for pregnancy check up and obgyn consultation. And for whatever reasons, the hospital will request you to fill out some questionnaire before you meet the doctor. And since they newly

Sudah baca ramalan hari ini?

2010-03-29T10:20:00.004+09:00

Lima taun lalu saat masih newbie tinggal disini, saya sedikit terheran2 melihat rubrik ramalan [peruntungan] harian berdasarkan rasi bintang dan golongan darah di tipi setiap pagi diakhir berita pagi [penting ya mengabarkan ramalan peruntungan, selain ramalan cuaca?]. Yang paling menarik disalah satu stasiun tv ada rubrik ramalan berdasarkan golongan darah yang dibuat atraktif. Sebelum si pembawa

Please allow me to share the good news of month to you people…Lintang is able to walk now….She’s finally and actually walking….God I can’t believe it. I know it’s sort of late for a baby to start walking [she’s 19 month now], but since I was mentally and physically prepared to see her first step when she reach at least 2 years old, so then 19 months is quite beyond our expectation. And as we’ve

Crita dari Rumah - Travelling with infant (2)

2010-02-05T10:53:00.004+09:00

Mudik tahun ini mungkin mudik yang relatif lebih santai dibandingkan mudik2 yg pernah saya alami sebelumnya. Kesantaian tersebut mungkin lebih karna sekarang kami harus bawa Lintang, buntut kami yg masih berusia 17 bulan. Lintang sedang berada di usia aktif bereksplorasi dengan lingkungannya dan cepat bosan, maka kepulangan kali ini lagi2 kami harus mencari airlines yg terjangkau dan tak perlu

But I wrote some short updates for the reader [if such exist =)] 1. Our first mudik as a family ever.

Every year, every time my family celebrates the Eid al-Adha, there's one question that always been lingering in my head, for years. And I keep asking the same question over and over to people I assume knows or understand about this event.I know, I know...you all gonna say...what happen to you? You've been holding this religion for god knows how long and still yet convinced? I am not unconvinced

2009-10-19T22:03:00.004+09:00

Suatu kali saya menghabiskan hampir setengah hari memikirkan betapa menipisnya makhluk yang bisa saya anggap teman saat ini. Sehingga seringkali saya merasa kesepian. Dan di hari yang sama tuhan memberi saya jawabannya.Sore itu saat hendak menjemput anak saya, tanpa diduga saya mengalami kecelakaan kecil. Sepeda saya ditabrak oleh sepeda lain. Bukan kecelakaan berat memang, tp cukup membuat

The Lost Word

2009-10-06T16:57:00.009+09:00

As any other Brown’s work, his latest book which deciphering “the lost symbol”, I think, will also inspire controversy. Many facts about freemasonry brotherhood will be insatiably consumed by many anti mason communities like hungry sharks and use it as reinforcement against the brotherhood. Although I kind of imagine the mason member itself will be just casually chuckle while reading Brown

Embracing death

2009-09-15T11:04:00.011+09:00

I want to apologize if the title itself is already creepy. But for the first time in my life, I have some courage to talk about death. Anyway, I hope you are not expecting me to write about life after death or the secret dark passage between life and death or those mysterious things I completely have no clue about.The idea about this came soon after I finished reading the last book of Harry

Man, I am so helpless!What am I suppose to do with these tiny little things?This job is beyond my ability. I should have warned my boss about that. And before doing that, I should have warned my self that it is not going to be easy. He [and probably I too] expects more than he should. Can't blame him. God, If banging my head to a wall will help, I would desperately do it!and where the hell is '

I don’t know if this following issue I am going to write should be categorized as serious issue or a trivial one. Or perhaps it goes to both ways. I have some sort of peculiar ideas about money politics. Money politic, these two words always belong to the election. It would not be an election without people laying money politic in it. There are two types of money politic; a discourteous one and a

On a sunny steamy summer day, my boss walked into my lab and told me that I had destroyed the TG/DTA machine. The heater was completely broken and some plates inside the machine were melt, due to heating over the maximum allowed temperature for quite long time. And it costs hundred thousands of yen to repair it. It was actually not entirely my fault, not even my idea in the first place to use

non-fluoride toothpaste

2009-08-18T10:10:00.005+09:00

Most japanese toothpaste doesn't have flouride in it, except perhaps for certain brands like Aquafresh.A friend of mine posted that fact on Facebook. I found it hard to believe initially and surprisingly, it is true. And apparently this is a common knowledge among foreigners in japan, except me [gosh, where have you been?=)]. Although the fact that high contain of fluoride is dangerous for our

Brain or Heart or Braveness?

2009-08-06T10:34:00.006+09:00

As a kid, I used to be a fan of fairytales, legends and myths. I love the magic, the mystery and the scientifically inexplicable stuffs in a legend, tale or myth, and so amazed of it. As an adult, I am still the same kid inside. I still love to fantasize about a completely different-separated-parallel world where all those imposible things in this real world become a possible thing. Anyway, I

Rasanya hampir tidak ada orang yang tidak kaget ketika mendengar berita meledaknya bom di dua hotel berbintang lima di jakarta. Dan bau kematian yang tiba2 pekat, membuat semua orang yang mendengar merinding. Semua orang merasa marah dan sedih. Sedih melihat negara kita diobrakabrik, sedih melihat begitu banyak kematian. Bagi sebagian orang rasa marah bisa jadi muncul karna kita ingin mencari si

This is Biblio from Toshiba, an e-book reader integrated with phone and, of course, as well equipped with 5 MP built in camera, Wi-Fi, 7 GB internal memory and an electronic dictionary module.

I like the neighborhood of my current apartment better than our previous place. The good thing bout living in here is you get to interact with different kinds of people in neighborhood and experience how it is like to be involved in the community. Some people are nice, some are so friendly and some are just ignorant, and we can’t complain to that.Anyway, we have met some interesting people here.

Tapi kecoa yang satu bukan kecoa biasa. Yah setidaknya menurut dia sendiri dia bukanlah kecoa biasa. Kecoa tak biasa ini bernama Supar. Supar adalah anak ke23 dari 30 bersaudara. Orang tua supar tadinya punya harapan besar untuk

This year’s golden week was doubly special to us. Not only because we have, our baby, Lintang with us this year -and this should be her first golden week too-, but also because April was a hard month for us with the new life coming and loads of changes to get used to, so we were thinking using this golden week holiday as a treat to ourselves. After enjoying the Hakata dontaku (which claimed as

Mekarnya sakura pastinya menjadi tanda datangnya musim semi. Dan mekarnya sakura selalu menjadi pertanda dimulainya kehidupan baru. Mungkin dengan dasar pemikiran itu juga kenapa april menjadi bulan dimulainya tahun ajaran baru sekolah. Dan mulainya taun ajaran baru pasti tidak bisa dipisahkan dari nyuugakushiki [upacara penerimaan siswa baru disekolah].Entah karna kemaren abis ngikuti acara

I must say, my husband’s choice to move from our old house right at the end of June, was a good idea. Although I cursed him a little bit at the beginning [I still love you though =D] for making me exhausted on that day, but the feeling I had when I woke up in the morning on the next day was really good. I felt like I’m gonna start a new life with a new house on a new day of July. I started to

Other than its weird “traditions” of traffic light arrangement, this city [well at least in Meinohama] has another annoying behavior; smoking in the street. Even the number of people who smoke in the street is not as much as in my country, yet smoking is smoking. It remains annoying.I don’t why but I do hate smoke so bad, and thank God I’ve been blessed with a non-smoker life partner. Probably

Alkisah suatu hari seorang wanita cantik nan geulis dan tengah hamil lima bulan [cieeh], terpana mendapati kenyataan bahwa disini semua wanita hamil 20 minggu keatas dianjurkan periksa kesehatan mulut dan gigi ke dokter gigi. Bukan apa2, masalahnya diantara sekian banyak pekerjaan yang horor didunia ini, bagi saya salah satunya adalah dokter. Kenapa dokter?karna saya takut disuntik hehehe.Saya ga

Tiba-tiba datanglah seorang perawat berpakaian putih2 [soalnya kalo item2 takut disangkain dukun =D] memanggil saya “anggaraini-san.."..wokeh..here we go beibeh. Ruang periksa dokter gigi ini ternyata mayan gede. Walo suasana intimadasi kehororannya tidak berkurang dari praktek dokter gigi yang saya datengin dua belas taun yg lalu, tapi yang ini at least terlihat lebih canggih dikit. Tapi dengan

Saya adalah orang yang tidak bisa serius. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Eits tidak serius dalam hal apa dulu?hmmm…rata2 dalam semua hal wehehehe. Tapi ketidakseriusan terbesar saya muncul ketika mulai ngobrol, tentunya ngobrol diluar occasion yang serius. Tak jarang komentar temen2 kita baca blog saya adalah “tulisan lu serius amat”. Karna ini kontras dengan kseharian saya

How to dismantle an atomic climate change....

2008-02-29T14:36:00.003+09:00

Climate change seemed to be ready to taking its toll. Slowly but surely, the global warming, which has frightened the world for the last several years, has sending its signal through the entire horizons. Early this February, the Science magazine, published two interesting articles about how climate change will not only change the earth temperature but its effect may also affecting city water

Seiring dengan maju nya teknologi dunia maya yang mungkin pada akhirnya membuat orang jadi malas berinteraksi secara langsung, membuat keberadaan social network website jadi sangat berarti. Saya dulunya adalah salah satu friendster addict, ketika situs ini tengah menjadi tren di Indonesia. Tapi seiring usia yang bertambah, membuat saya jadi jenuh dengan keberadaan situs2 seperti friendster,

Waktu cek ke obgyn terakhir kemaren, setelah menoong si baby via usg, tiba2 dokternya ngomong gini. “eh saya kemaren beli ini loh” sambil nunjukkin buku warna kuning dengan tulisan “インドネシア語“ alias bahasa Indonesia. Gw sempet bengong. Dokter gw dulu di todai byouin, instead of learning Indonesian language, doi malah getol banget belajar bahasa inggris. Tapi yang ini malah bela2in belajar

“Oh my…it’s positive!” That was my first response as the test stick shown a positive sign. This is unbelievable.　 I was exciting, delighted and scare at the same time. But once you see the little thing in your womb [the proof miracle of life] through the sonogram, all those feelings was like sweep away. I still can not believe in the next seven months I am about to be a mom. And I’m gonna have

Seperti biasa kalo ada temen yg pulang mudik dari indonesia, biasanya selain bawa oleh2 berupa makanan indo yg dah jarang ditemui, oleh2 laen adalah gosip2 what's new n hot stuff dari indo, entah itu musik, sinetron, gosip artis ato apa lah. Nah akhir september taun lalu, sebelum mudik ke indo, seorang temen yg baru aja balik dari mudik, cerita kalo ada dua hal yg lagi rame di indo; lagu 'ketauan

the other side of democracy

2007-12-02T18:46:00.000+09:00

Democracy is probably an obsolete stuff that remains exist in our daily life. It has no longer become a strange word since everyone mentions about it over and over on TV, radio or newspaper, every time you watch/read/listen to the political section of the news. To be frank, I personally started to consider it as a boring topic to be discussed. Untill one day, after finished reading the

On today’s “Good morning America” in ABC news, there is an interesting report about Danielle Nicholson [fake name], a girl who escape from her polygamy life and decided to speak it out to the world. Nicholson calmly told the ABC news reporter how painful and how misery the polygamy life that she had experience. Nicholson was born and raised in a family who is worship the fundamentalist –something

Let me quote one interesting remark from one of the keynote speaker on the first day of the st.gallen symposium, DR. S.M. Khatami;“‘Natural resources’ seems to be a new terminology underpinning man’s worldview. Nature is a collection of materials, tools and energies that man has discovered, stored, processes and transported and that he can appropriate as he likes”Khatami pointed out that in terms

The symposium started at 8 am, where the keynote speech will begin at 8.10 am and end at 3 pm. At 4 pm, everyone must precede to the work session. This two hour work session was basically another presentation and discussion on particular topic they had chosen before but with fewer people. At the same time, 10 other work sessions was also taking place. Around 7pm we must continue to follow another

Richard Gere probably never imagines that a “simple” kiss he did on a one fine day to a beautiful Indian actress will generate protest from Hindu pilgrims across India. They were at the hotel promoting campaign against AIDS. She is beautiful and he is Richard Gere, the result is as you can see on YouTube. The western part of the globe is pretty much shocking by the fact that in other part of the

Have anyone ever try a 100% orange juice?The sour taste of it might scare you at first. And once you tried, it actually not that bad at all. Definitely having a glass 100% orange juice every morning is good for your own health, if your stomach is strong enough to resist the sour and the acid coming from the oranges. But if you don’t then you must be prepared to spend a whole day, running to the

One day I had a serious discussion with one of my gal friend. She is Hindi. She argued that what so called heaven or nirvana is a place. She said that heaven is state rather than a place. Think of the happiest time you’ve ever experienced, think of the best you’ve ever felt, think of the most resplendent beautiful place you’ve ever seen, think of the most peaceful moment you’ve ever felt,

So one day I took a bus head up to my campus in kashiwa city, chiba [this is not my first experience on riding the bus, long time before, when I frequently visited my hubby in fukuoka. I took the bus quite often there, coz bus is the major transportation in that city]. And unlike any

I named it as "the curse on september", although it actually not as horrible as it sounds like. This curse started around three years ago. Here are the time line:
