Spring is Coming

Helloooooo...
Oh, my dear friends, how I miss you!
Feeling great today? Good! Coz I am too. The spring is coming and the sun is shinning... (but, actually when I write this down, it's still early in the morning, 4.43 a.m). Flowers are not yet fully blooming, but some spots have already been colorful. Pretty!
Hey, you know why I haven't posted for a month? As you know, I went back to Indonesia and stayed mostly in my hometown. Internet access in my brother's notebook was like Royal Javanese Princess (slow motion), so it got me headache everytime I logged in. I was not even on line during that time. Going to internet cafe was just wasting money, so I was outside the internet world and just busy...eating.
Anyway, during the semester break at home was so much fun. I didn't use my brain a lot and the result was, the meal I had straight went to the stomach. So I gained 2 kilos...hehehe. Chubbier and darker, indeed. Moving directly from winter season to always summer in Blora created Zebra marks on my feet due to the sandals, just in a week. Man, the sun was so hot.
I had a long list of planned productive activities for the holiday (writing, visiting some places, going to the gym), but in reality, I was just eating, sleeping, playing with my niece, eating (again).
There were so much delicious food available at home, and it's cheap, even free (eating mom's cooking..haha). And you know, I got to eat "sand krupuk" as much as I wanted! For some people who don't know "sand krupuk", I'll tell you. It's krupuk which is fried using sand, not oil. It's said non colesterol, but of course, you'll find some sand sticks to it (hopefully not along with "other thing" that usually found on the sand...something related with cat...). My mom was a bit worried seeing me eating that stuff everyday. She said "How much sand do you think you have in your stomach for eating it all this time?" And I answered while eating it, "Much." Then she continued, "At least get rid of the sand before you eat it."
No way, that would not be fun...!
Intermezzo..
I went to GagasMedia before going to Blora, and met some nice people there. Then suddenly I was engaged to an appointment of "talk show", or something like that, for my second book.
It was in Rembang on 6th March 2010 in book bazaar in Balai Kartini. Hahaha..that was my first time and it was so....weird. I was weird, coz I was just bubbling...and just very few audience, people preferred going around looking for cheap books than seeing this stranger...hahaha. I was ashamed actually, the interviewer was Sundanese, and suddenly my speech tone was becoming a little bit sundanese too..huekekekekek... I was thinking "What did I do, why I sounded like that?"
At least some people asked question during the show...or they were forced to...haha.
Oh, what an experience.
Okay, to sum up, I enjoyed my staying in Blora, though I unexpectedly had to go to Jogja (my ATM card was missing, so I had to renew in the bank where I registered the first time). But it was nice, coz I got to see Nyonyo and stayed in her house for two days. Thank you, Nyonyo and family for having me. I also had a chance to see "Jati Denok", a 350 years teak tree in Randublatung (long bumpy journey for one fat tree) and of course, my favorite, being singing and dancing mentor for my 1.5 years old niece, Jibrut. Her favorite songs were Kupu Kupu Yang Lucu and Tik Tik Tik Bunyi Hujan (is it really the title?). We, I, would sing all day coz everytime I finished, she said "Again" all over again, plus the dancing.
I miss it now...
I went back to Goettingen on 7th April 2010. It was shorter flight, only 17 hours something, but the journey was okay. I saw Avatar in the plane, and some other new movies.
One thing that had me confused was the arrival place, which was different with the one I had the first time I came here. Good thing I met some nice people who showed me the way, so I could reach Goettingen right on time. Thank you.
Being here again, my mind was not yet set for the study, not for sleeping time too. I am still in my Indonesian hour. Hope I adapt soon. Lectures will be in two campus, central and north, so fast biking will be a requirement. Good, then I can lose some weight again, to fit into my pants.
Hm, second semester begin, I'd better fight hard again. Ganbatte ne!

By the way, d i a might be reprinted soon, hope it all goes well.
Ciao..!
