Seoul Friendship Fair 2012
had so much food in a day. makanan kenya, pakistan, india, laos, jerman (well, only beer for the guys), dan tentu saja indonesia ! yaaay ! berhasil juga nyekokin pisang goreng sama bala-bala. ah andai stand indonesia sedikit lebih gaul dan nyediain sate padang..
| gue dan hyeon-yeong eonni (temen gue yang bisa bahasa indonesia) lagi jalan2, cerita random seperti biasa | |
| eonni: | lifa, kalau ada cowo yang enak kenalkan aku ya haha |
| gue: | hahahaha cowo mah bukan enak eonni, masa mau dimakan |
| eonni: | loh.. kamu bilang enak bisa dipakai untuk macam2 kan ? |
| gue: | iya untuk kursi, suasana, makanan, macam2 tapi bukan orang eonni hahaha. masa mau dimakan cowonya ckck |
| gue khawatir ada mata ikan di kaki gue. karena parno gue tanya2 orang ini beneran apa ga. di kamar gue tanya kim juga. | |
| kim: | (liat2 kaki gue) it's nothing, lifa |
| gue: | fiuuuh, so you think my feet is fine ? i was actually gonna go see a doctor cause i'm just so scared haha |
| kim: | you're crazy. if you actually go, they'll just laugh at you and say 'i think we need to take a look at your head instead of your feet' hahaha |
| gue: | you're probably right -_- |

picnic at Naksan park with the club members :>
| kim: | lifa, you can't be a moslem and still love coaster. you should be a shy and not-talk-much girl. |
| maisee: | I know. I bet if she's not a moslem she's gonna dye her hair blue and green everyday |
| kim: | I bet she's gonna be a party girl. she's gonna be crazy. |
| cheela: | and she'll drink 'special water' a lot hahaha (by special water they mean alcohol. they always mess with me for not drinking one) |
| gue: | (dalam hati) gagal sudah rencana merubah image disini haha sial. but I'm glad I'm a moslem. otherwise.. I can't imagine. |
| kim: | (getting ready to leave again) is my phone on ? |
| gue: | (check on her phone) still dead. you charged it like a minute ago. give it some time. |
| kim: | but I have to go now. it's 11 already. |
| gue: | just go then, let the phone dead for a while. |
| kim: | what if someone rapes me ? |
| gue: | -_- you're not that pretty, don't flutter yourself. |
| kim: | alright then. beside, I am lucky if someone rapes me. |
| gue: | huahahhaa. idiot. |
spring is finally here !
when I was a kid, I had this really cool books that tells story about a city of cute animals. the city was perfect. it has a huge city hall, cute saloons, fancy cafe, and most important of all: a really beautiful public park. I’ve always wanted to go to that park someday.
in the book, the park was just a big open space where they have small trees on the sidewalk, river on the other side, and well, bears playing on swings. today, i visited that park of my dream. turns out they call it Hangang park here in the real world.
Hangang park was a lot prettier than the one in the book. they have everything but the bears haha. in addition, they do have cute windmills, lots of street foods (well since we’re having cherry blossom festival right now), hundreds of cutey-cheesy-couples eating fruits and kimbab on their picnic blankets, few small performing stages, kids playing in water pool, grandpas flying kite with their grandson, tandem bikes, and of course, a water fountain. i fell in love with the park right away.
seeing how the Seoul citizens spend their weekend in the parks, city square or hiking made me really jealous. they have a lot of free public spaces where you can spend time with your family and friends without paying lots of money. you can actually go on a picnic here, spend hours talking with your loved ones, and you don’t even have to order any foods from any fancy restaurant only to find a cozy place to talk.
the park is probably one of the thing that I’m going to miss most once I’m back.
I wish I have this too back home :(

An awful pain pounds within my chest.
A sorrow grim with waning means.
To keep you from writhing in bleak unrest.
Unable...
