Busy Friday

Have fun all day long.

#1 Surabaya Zoo
Me: "Wanna join me to bonbin?" (red-Surabaya Zoo).
Others: "Hueh???Are u kiddin'?!!" or "I'd like to, but I can't." (sounds there's a hope for another time), or "Ngapain?"(What r u doin' there?), or just "No." (ok then..*grin*).

I got various answers, but the point is, they all said "No".
It began when me n Edwin tried to figure out what we gonna do on this week public holiday (today).
I wanted to go some places in this hot city, where we haven't gone before. Some unordinary places. Bored with malls and others like that. I need something new.
He made some calls, and offered some ideas.
Fishing and swimming.
I denied all of them (I wasn't in the mood lately bcoz of this stupid heat).
Another calls had been made, while we were see Surabaya map.
Randomly, and accidently, I pointed on Zoo spot. I had no idea at all. My suggestion was accepted directly, amusely, with his big smile.
His friend, Meinardi, at the other side of the line agreed too (must be with big grin at his face).

Ouch! I thought I make a mistake. I wasn't as enthusiastic as them, then I tried to seek zoo's lackness. Dirty. Unwealthy poor animals, etc..etc. I guessed my bad mood played it's role.
I didn't care whether my attitude annoyed him. Like Carla said, everybody has the same right to be bad mood, rait? It's my turn now. Sometimes I lost my control, not to be level headed.

Well, it changed the next day.
It might be fun. It's not so bad idea.
I never came back to that place since my last visit, when I was a child.
Last news, there are 2 new companions join with us. Tari n Iput. They are Edwin's nieces. Their mother will provide us with 'nasi bungkus'...hehehe...
This morning, I began to more exciting with this plan.
Woke up early, before my alarm yelled. Not sleepy at all. But then I decided to sleep again since it's too early...hehe (lucky me, hav no problems about sleep stuff-always. anywhere. anytime. anyplace. Well, except certain circumtances).
Even imagine what will happen today.
Generated an imagination.
We sit under the big tree. Eating nasi bungkus. I took few shots (as usually). Bright day. Green grass. Birds singing. Hmmm....

The real situation was: the birds are singing (before me & edwin headed to zoo). Bright day. Good signs :P
About 8.30 we enter the zoo. The ticket was Rp 7500 each.
Few visitors. Good. Clean. Checked.
Clean???Wait till you enter birds area.
The plants at that area are covered with white sparks, and it's street as well. Yeah...side effect of BIRDS FESES ATTACK!!
Watch your step, put on your hat, and enjoy the 'mother nature aroma therapy'. Don't worry, u'll get used to it.
We saw kuntul's nest. Many kinds of birds, fishes, kangaroo, walabi, deer, elephants, tigers-white tigers, hippos, bison, giraph, orang utans, bears, leopard, etc.


white tiger

After hours, at last we had our breakfast. Errr....brunch, excatly. So delicious. Two thumbs up for Mbak Sri.
Full enough with our brunch, Tari, Iput n me then rode an elephant. It costs Rp 5000. It's fun enough. I never did it, and I'd like to try. Seems that they are Asian elephants, coz African elephants are wider than Asian, and Asian have 'a finger' on its trunk. I guess their trainer use feet and a tool to direct them. I don't like since it has sharp-pointed and it should hurt the elephant.
Zoo agenda end around 12.30.


rode an elephant.

#2 Second-hand book hunt @ Semarang street.
One word. Disappointed.
Their books were not as good as last time I bought there.
Actually I didn't looking for a book. But this time I wasn't attractive to buy one. Mostly, they sell school books, or Islamic books. Got bored soon. Really hot. Can't stand it. Lil' bit upset.
Ed intended to see what they sold across the street.
Their stands under the 'very bright shine'. WAAAAAAAAAHHH....GA KUKU!!!!I promise myself to cut my hair TODAY.
I stepped quickly, browsed till the last stand. Nothing. Then I noticed my dearest that I want to turn back. Why?? he asked. "Really bad books". Without waiting for his answer I walked cross the street. Lost my patient. Yeah, that's me when I got upset. Don't bother with anyone.
We left, headed to TC for DVD hunt. So relieved. Phiuhhh....

#3 TC. DVD hunt.
Same as before, bought DVDs wasn't include at my agenda today. Just accompany him. But he stopped so long at 1rst shop, where's nothing interested there. So I told him that I left to front shop, which also end with 0 result.
He n Meinard haven't done yet. Didn't want to wait, I walked around by myself. Hmm...I remember about Princess Mononoke, then I asked it to all store. Run out stock. WEK!!! ga jodo kali ya -_-'

Wait a minute, I saw another Hayao Miyazaki's creation: Nausicaa of the Valley Wind, one of my must to have list. Tried it. Looked ok. I noticed that the CD has 2 contents on its cover. Nausicaa and Totoro-My Neighbour, another Miyazaki's.
According to one of seller girl, they don't have it.
Ok then. While waiting for that '2 gentlemen', I browsed again, and found it!! Hurrayyyyyy!! But still had to wait for a boy and his father testing activity. They tried about 5 DVDs. Lucky, the father 'ngeh kalo ditungguin'. He reminded his son to quick.
My turn, boy...hehehe.

Shortly, the results of this DVDs hunt are 2 DVDs and 2 MP3s. Oldies and Jazz. My fave. Each cost 5000.

#4. DELTA-Johnny Andrean & WTC
Fulfill my promise. Got new short hair cut. The guys hand-over their bags to me when I was at the salon, so they can relieved for a while.
Headed to WTC to accompany him looked for new oldies HP-nokia pisang. Imagine that.
Dinner: Japanese fried rice + koloke, near Jendela cafe. Delicious.

Have to let my leg rest.
Sex and the city time.
