He is my Dilan 1990

Recently I got a gift from my best friend that fails to give surprise which I already know. When I was opening her bag which I borrowed from her I found a gift. Then, I said “Thank You” and she said “Don’t be ge-er, it’s from Sinter Klas”. Hahaha. She called herself “Perempuan Merah” and she called myself “Perempuan Biru”. I don’t know she got the names from where, I guess according to the calendar of primbon, those is our favorite colors. Hihihi.

Afterward, I can’t wait to open my gift. Voila...It’s Dilan by Pidi Baiq and a brithday greeting card. I’m happy as like I go to the planet Mars by a Eagle. How did she know, I crush Pidi Baiq efforts. I think she went to witch or she opened book of primbon to know what I want at that time. Ups :)

He is my Dilan 1900

The color of cover book is soft blue, yeah same as with my favorite color and there is picture of a boy standing with his motorcycle. I’ve read this book last night. Due to its genre is comedy romantic, it makes my eyes as bright as spotlight on the stage and keep reading until the end. 

Her name is Milea, a girl from Jakarta and countinued high school in Bandung. Dilan was born and raised in Bandung. They are acquaintances in a unique way. Start from he pretended be a oracle till be delegate of school and carry a new menu of canteen of school to Milea’s house. Dilan was a bad boy but kind and not cocky. He always conspired with people around Milea to approach. 

A boy with a thousand sense always full of suprises. Out of nowhere, suddenly he called and arrived Milea’s house then extended an invitation. You know what the content of the invoitation?
Bismillahirrahmanirrahiim. With the name of Allah the merciful and compassionate. With this, with feeling, Milea Adnan invited to the school on : Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday”

What the fvck! Those days was their schedule. Hahaha. The first time, Milea smile because of his act. After that Dilan always sends envoy such as a delivery newspapers or postman to deliver chocolate for Milea.
There was one incident that made me laugh so loud when Milea birthday. Previously, Milea sad because she thinks that Dilan forgot her birthday. No.no.no! Dilan didn’t forget. In school Dilan go to class of Milea and give something to Milea. Milea can’t wait to open, when Milea opened that gift that wrapped in paper with full color image by Dilan, Trala.. TTS (Teka-Teki Silang) book with the cover of Japanese woman who were given a mustache and written on the head of the woman as if she were speaking. And the sentence is : “Milea, it’s brithday greeting for you from a person who said love you” Milea opened the TTS book and answer of TTS has been answered by Dilan. The next day she asked him why give TTS book have filled already. He said he had fill the answer before so she didn’t bother to answer TTS. I think it’s funny, it’s great idea maybe the person who claimed to have normal mind hasn’t the silly idea. 

He is my Dilan 1990

Even though he is motorcycle gangster, often brawl, againts arrogant teacher. He didn’t forget the duty of student. He always rank 1 and he has high artistic soul and proved that he likes literature and music.
Hmm...May the contents of this book is intended for teeangers. But, I like it. It feels like my adolescent come back. One of sentences that I like from him is :
“You’re beautiful, but I haven’t loved you yet. I don’t know how about afternoon. Just wait”

Alhough it’s not romantic but I think it’s quite fun and makes me smile *grin*
My humble opinion, Dilan is a grown man, genius, good, brave, courageous, silly, gentle, stubborn, chocolate, cheese, coffee, stawberry, banana, blue, red, black, white. He can be anything you want, I think. Hehehe.

I didn’t fall in love with Dilan, but.. I fall in love with you. Yeah, thats you!

Seventh Floor of Heaven

Did you know Lombok Island? Lombok Island, Nusa Tenggara Barat is one of a beautiful place in Indonesia. Last  year, I traveled there, it’s so fun and memorable. The first time I went to holiday far enough. This trip is quite a lot of preparation, for example booking travel tickets and decide the destination in Lombok. My friends and I started that trip through Bali by plane. We layover almost two days and stayed at my friend's house in Bali while waiting for some friends who went by bus. We just walked around in Kuta and enjoy the day in Kuta beach. To get to Lombok, we cross the sea by feri ship start from Padang Bai harbour to Lembar harbour.


While in the ship, we can’t wait for the main mission. Did you know what our mission? Yeah, that’s right! The destination is Rinjani mountain. Administratively, the mountain is located in the territory of three districts: East Lombok, Central Lombok and West Lombok. It’s not easy to get to the top of Rinjani mountain. This trip requires a willingness and struggle. But, I don’t think that I'm strong, walking for fifteen hours to campsites. I felt my legs would fall out and I sputter several times. Fotunately, in trip we found natural beautiful view such as prairie, bright blue sky and certainly the hills that make us more spirit to do this. After an exhausted trip from mountain slopes, Sembalun to campsites, Plawangan , we finally arrived. We felt asleep after setting up tent because we were tired and it was late at night.


Next day, when I woke up and exit from the tent. What a beautiful it is, the sun is shining so bright and beautiful. Especially when I got to the summit, the beautiful views like hidden paradise. I like this place makes me don’t want to go home.
 

After we finished go to the top of Rinjani, we layover in a lake, Sagara Anak. In there we like found the seventh floor of  heaven. Broad and clear lake, fresh air and new friends is things we would find there. We’ve finished conquer Rinjani mountain. Our mission has successfully and means journey has ended. Before we go back to Jakarta, we didn’t forget to taste one of  the typical food of Lombok, Ayam Taliwang. The flavor of Ayam Taliwang it’s really shake up the tounge, you must try it if you go to there.
.

My point of view, Lombok is a place that must visited because of its narural wealth, impressive cultural and  friendly society. It makes us proud that Indonesia has the quite famous  island in the world.


See you on the next trip :)
