That Motorbike
My father always nags me for not being able to drive motorbike till now, while there have been thousands elementary school kids out there can do that. Lol. So Noni suggested me to have a one week getaway in Kampung so she could teach me how to ride that two-wheelers. She added, it would be really hard for me in the future work-time if I could not drive a motorbike. I agreed and calmly sit in the back seat while she picked me up all the way from Gelugur Kuta. hehe.
We started in a lonely road near the corn field not far from my granny's home. Because it's a matic motorcycle and I of course could ride a bicycle (kill myself if I couldn't ride bicycle, I went to school in elementary time by it) I just need to control my hand power while pulled the gas and balanced the handlebar so I could make it straightly run.
The first mie aceh I bought by driving on my own.
Oh, It's quiet easy and I felt like playing a simulation game. The big boss would be the police who I would show my new ability so he will be willing to give my driver's license. Lol. But, I was mistaken. When I saw a truck came from the opposite way, I was so worry and hardly thought what I should do with my motorbike. Noni just calmed me down and said I just need to stay in my own route or stop could be the other best option.
Noni is the best teacher. She was very quiet in training me but kept being watchful since I could do any worst thing with me as the driver. She just laughed when I was too rigid driving the motorbike. Especially when I sounded the horn to chase the chickens away from the road. I was really bad in practicing the turning part. But practice makes perfect, right?
In the second day, I started to be able to control my worriess when I must share the road with other users. And in the third day, I felt it was really easy to drive the motorbike and I could prolong the training length to buy food which was pretty far from my granny's home. I was the driver for the round-trip, but to be honest, in the intersection of four where there were so many transportations came from all directions met in one point, Noni took over the handlebar. Lol.
Lestari Indah, the first beach I visited by driving on my own.
Last Saturday I went home and Noni joined me because it took 2 hours driving from Kampung to my home, so it would make her so tired if she went home in the same day. Moreover, my sister had promised to treat us Es Teler 77 if I could go to Indomaret by myself. I argued her that I could take Noni to the beach. If the distance from our home to beach was measured, I had repeatedly went there. Lol. In the next day we went to PMF to ask my sister make her promise to be real. Haha. And Noni was back to Kampung and we were back to Perbaungan.
I should have been Es Teler 77 ambassador since I was like do not know where to eat except there and like there is no option except Baso Super Special Jumbo and Es Teler. Lol.

Day 14: The Next 5 Years
Hmmmm.. I don't know how to convey my thought about the topic for this Day-14 of 30 days blogging challenge by Emotional Flutter. I'm not a successor of Nostradamus since I never believe in any prophecy. I always avoid praying in any social media, no matter what its occasion. So, let me use this post as another words assembling exercise. haha.
Proper Job
- I will have a settled job with so good salary,
- With 'not dictator' boss, willing to listen to his/her employee's opinions,
- Cooperate with responsible and patient people since I am someone with learning difficulty, in a very healthy work environment,
- With no restrictions on religious activities,
- No prohibition of dating among the co-workers,
- Free outing once every six months. Lol
Good Living
- Live in a healthy and lovely environment,
- Meet so many kind hearted with good attitude people,
- Nice home with large yard where there are a beautiful garden and a private swimming pool,
- Facilitated with hi-tech household appliances, so I can say goodbye to broom and mop.
- Friends with very friendly girls,
- Meet a man with higher level of faith, having almost perfect subsistence, loving and patient, and of course young and single. haha.

Day 13: This 2 Years
There is no any big change I can make in the period of this 2 years. The most substantial of course I could finish my S1 belonging timely. But it is less able to be recognized as a success because until now, I have not found a place that would accept my service in commensurate exchange called a salary.
Maybe I'm too picky. S1 turns out to be an unwritten rule, which I claim myself to be able to get a job that most people called "decent job" for S1. Though there is still no provision for what categories to show a decent profession for S1 too for sure, right? There are, anyway. The dogma from our community! And I've already swallowed it, so be patient with the opportunity to get what is called a proper job is the only thing I can do. Do not want to be a hypocrite as well. I did very little effort.
In this two years, I also began to understand as the name: the treatments that we give to other people, have a major influence on any outcome that we receive from any intention we want to do. So I started to learn to control the nature of my easily angry. Yes, despite good intentions certainly be an easy target for the devil to ruin. haha. Every time it came for me to do some good intentions, there's always temptation that made me really hard for restrain anger.
Patient.. Patient..
It's my biggest target.

Day 11: It's Not Only a Need, But Love
Another lovely topic for this 30 days blogging challenge by Emotional Flutter. We are asked to make a post about our ideal (I prefer to call it favorite) menus for breakfast, lunch, diner and snacks. I eat not only for the reason of my body need, but I love to. I felt happy every time I was served with so delicious foods. And something I'm proud of myself is it's really rare found leftover on my plate! I can differentiate which food is tasty, but I refuse to use the not-tasty one as an excuse to throw the food to garbage.
But now I am on on-going OCD, so I do not have breakfast and diner. I still cannot increase my Fasting Hours and stay in my current Eat Window. That's the reason why I am not really breakup with my usual weight, maybe. Lol. But, I love food so much! Happy tummy, happy life! haha.

Breakfast
For breakfast, I always eat rice. Fried rice and Lontong Sayur (veggie rice cake) will be my favorite. The Lontong Sayur is not a dish you can make in only thirty minutes no matter it's only for a breakfast. You must boil the rice cake at least 8 hours to get the perfect texture. So, buy Lontong Sayur from my favorite lontong sayur seller with her pushed cart is the best option. For the drink, usually I got hot sweet tea but mineral water was the most often.
Lunch
Everyday I have rice as my main menu for the three-times-eat-a-day, I'm truly Indonesian. Here, you have not eaten if it's not rice. Lol. But, if I was not at home or was deliberately looking for food from the roadside stalls or the lovely traditional cuisines pushed carts, the choice would fall on Ayam Penyet (smashed fried chicken) and Meatball noodle.
Ayam Penyet is Indonesian dish consisting rice, fried chicken which had been smashed to make it softer, fried tempe (soybean cake) and tofu, sliced cucumbers and raw cabbage and long beans with the spicy sambal (condiment) which was made with the mixture of chillis, onions, garlics, tomatoes, belacan (a seasoning made from fermented fish and / or rebon shrimp, shaped like a dough or pasta and coloured black-brown) and lime juice.
For the drinks, the spicy dishes need some sweet and refreshing drink. I'll choose ice young coconut and ice lemon tea. For the ice young coconut, I really love if it was added with kasturi juice and liquid brown sugar.
Diner
I really like to have Mie Rebus Medan (Medan boiled noodle) and fried Kwetiau for my diner. Back when I was a college student, I and my housemates would walk to Griya to buy Mie Aceh to bring home as our diner. And for the drink, we ordered ice fruit soup.
Snacks
I don't really like snacking but I can't resist if you offer me the cup noodle called Pop Mie, chocolate ice cream and Bagelen (bread/bun spread with margarine, sprinkled with granulated sugar and then baked in the oven to dry) from Kartika Sari. haha.
The menus above are not the list I eat everyday. My mother will get mad if I do that unhealthy eating habits. Once in two weeks is enough, I think. *A healthy diet freak will call me crazy*. Lol. My mother serves us daily healthy food for our body. Veggies, fish, meat, or seafood.

Day 10: The Places I Wish To Visit
My house is not that far to a beach. But, to be honest I never see the blue colored water sea which allows me to see the sand through the clear water 
. I never go travelling to some place where I will find that kind of landscape. I still love you, Lestari Indah, by the way. hehe. So, here some places I wish to visit someday.

Dari Sabang sampai Merauke, itu lah Indonesia...
From Sabang to Merauke, that is Indonesia...
Sabang
Beside the beautiful beaches, the other reason why I wish to visit Sabang is to see Indonesia's Monument of Zero Kilometre which is the starting point to measure the width of our beloved country. Sabang is a city located in Weh island.
Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat means Four Kings. It's not easy to come to this island, beside preparing a huge amount of money, you must be an educated person to be able to enjoy this heaven on earth. That's according to Sapta Norwandar, Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.
The efforts to maintain its sustainability is by restricting the diving activities in Raja Ampat. The reason, the temperature released by the diver's body is feared could damage the coral reefs. That's why Sapta Norwandar told that it must be the qualified and educated people visiting Raja Ampat, so they can understand how to behave, not damage the coral reefs. Source.
What a random post! This is the result if an amateur must explain something she never see with her own eyes. No matter what, I have filled the Day-10 homework for 30 days blogging challenge. Lol.

Day 8: A Love Letter
To: You ♥
I don't know how to call this a secret or a mystery
by God having sent me into your life.
by God having sent me into your life.
Since my first time presence in your days,
I'm sure you had designed so many beautiful dreams and hopes.
I really feel blessed for that.
Your sincerity, warmth,
and everything you had given, gives and will give to me.
Even if I have enough power to chase the whole people
away from this world
away from this world
and put it to your hands,
I will never be able to repay you.
But, time by time,
It's looked like I start to make you think
why it is not going as your expectation.
I change,
but you are still the same.
I make thousands mistakes,
you give millions forgiveness.
Please, let me be a little more greedier.
I hope you will be the same,
keep holding my hands.
Don't let me move out of range of your heart,
as you always say,
there's my name in every time you pray.
You, Mom and Dad
I Love you
