Go Around by Commuter Line

By -
Last Friday I have been challenged by https://englishfriday.wordpress.com/ to write about https://englishfriday.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/ef12-weekly-challenge-your-means-of-transport/. Yeah, on my daily basis, I go to work by Commuter Line (local train around Jabodetabek Area). 

Being a commuter for almost fifteen years encourage me to describe the saddest and the happiest moment to be a loyal passenger. For the saddest moment actually I have been written many experiences of mine on my other social media in Bahasa. Here the link https://www.facebook.com/notes/nazila-ibu-morteza/pegangan-donk-mbak/10152732672724582

I have chosen a commuter line as a daily transportation because it is much affordable and faster to avoid the morning rush and traffic jam in Jakarta. Commuter line is still the best choice to get office earlier, but sometimes it could be bad when its machine or its electrical signal is broken down or some trains are taking in line to get in to the Manggarai Station. It is one of the biggest station in Jabodetabek as a place to transit to other destination such as Tanah Abang, Jatinegara or Bekasi. 

As I said before, you are feeling happy as a commuter if the Commuter Line (CL) is working smoothly, you sit conveniently and arrive at your destination on time without any kind of burden in it. 

You are feeling so bad when you stand up without any space for your feet, you have got a hefty shove and nearly fell and as the result you can not take a breath because of your body almost stuck on the door. The worst is you kiss the door because the train has been over loaded. In this situation, you have no any good choice. You have to be patient, sincere and feel grateful that you can get office earlier without any traffic jam meanwhile other people who drive by his/her own car are still struggling on their way.

So, when you want to try go around by commuter line around Jabodetabek conveniently, I offer you some tips to go :
  1. If you plan to go in the morning, make sure you have already have  your breakfast at home.
  2. Monday to Friday morning, the rush hour of the train always happen from Bogor to Jakarta, so if you want to have your leisure time, just against the current rush by visiting Bogor. I bet you get a convenient seat because the passenger are rare to Bogor at that time.
  3. Those who are pregnant, disability or person with his/her kid, please wait until the rush hour of the CL passed by. You may go up to 9 am because mostly workers are already at their office.

Orang Jepang itu kayaknya Islami deh

By -
Kenapa saya bilang orang Jepang itu Islami, karena kok rasa-rasanya auranya begitu deh. Mereka biasanya berkelompok berdasarkan gender tanpa mereka sadari. Buktinya dorm saya dipisahkan antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Waktu pembagian diskusi kelompok pernah kami tanpa sadar juga terbagi antara grup laki-laki dan perempuan. Kami kelompoknya Islami kan? Trus, waktu medical check up, ada satu ruang tertutup yang ternyata sudah disiapkan oleh panitia untuk kami-kami yang menutup aurat. Tanpa saya sadari, saya dipanggil ke ruangan itu, padahal jelas-jelas saya antri di barisan lain. Baru saya sadar, oh ruang itu sengaja dipisah toh. Waktu saya berburu baju hangat, saya perhatikan kok model-model bajunya mengakomodir kebutuhan saya banget ya. Buktinya saya nyari-nyari jaket, jaketnya rata-rata sampai menutupi paha. Saya perhatikan juga banyak rok-rok panjang yang dipajang dan pastinya lucu-lucu. Saya perhatikan kok rok-rok itu ya sesuai selera saya banget. Trus, saya lihat juga celanan...

Akibat Overestimate

By -
Jangan mengira bahwa semua orang Jepang itu baik dan akan mudah dimintai tolong tanpa hitung-hitungan, Jangan mengira bahwa mereka bawaannya sabar dan lembut. Nggak juga. Saya punya pengalaman buruk beberapa kali diperlakukan tak baik, Awalnya saya mengira anak ini cukup baik dan mau membantu. Saya perlakukan ia layaknya teman. Namun, dugaan saya salah. Ketika saya mintai ia tolong saat itu, perlakuannya kasar, dan beberapa kali membentak. Di luar dugaan saya, ia sekasar itu ternyata. Well, baru kali ini saya sabar dibentak orang. Entah itu kesabaran dari mana.  Pengalaman lain, saat saya dan teman saya sedang kesasar mencari jalan menuju stasiun, kami menghampiri anak muda. Saat kami tanya, ia langsung melongos pergi dan menolak menjawab apa pun.  Cerita lain, saat hendak membayar di kasir, saya bertanya sesuatu, ia menjelaskan dalam bahasa Nihonggo, saya tanya dan mukanya masam nggak jelas. Akhirnya saya mengangguk dan pergi.  Kesimpulan saya, overestimate ...
