Cuci Mencuci

Laundromat. Alias self-service laundry. Banyak bertebaran di mana-mana. Mungkin karena di sini ga ada bisnis laundry kiloan yang murah meriah ;p. Karena ga boleh jemur baju di dalam kamar *well, ga bakal ketahuan sih, jadi kadang suka bandel ;p* apalagi di jendela, jadilah dua minggu sekali saya pasti mengunjungi laundromat. Di dalam residence ada *walaupun jauh mblusuk di dalam basement*, di luar juga banyak. Harganya? Hampir sama. Kalau di luar: mesin cuci dengan kapasitas 6 READ MORE

Bus, oh bus…

Pagi ini, jam setengah 8 saya sudah lari-lari keluar residence sambil gigit roti sarapan. Yep, kuliah mulai jam 8, jadi harus berangkat setengah jam sebelumnya. Sampai di halte bus banyak orang yang menunggu, pertanda bahwa saya masih belum ketinggalan bus yang biasa lewat jam segitu, fyuhh… Setelah menunggu agak lama, sekitar jam 8 kurang 15 menit, bus nomor 131 lewat. Terlihat di dalam bus sudah penuh orang, dan si bus pun lewat begitu saja, tanpa READ MORE

First Weekend of October

When the autumn has officially started… My weekend began from Friday night, when I decided to watch The Town with my friend, at Cameo *according to him, the only movie theater where Hollywood movies are played without French dubbing*. I’m surprised with the studio though, uhm… small, and the seats aren’t even aligned in steps. But it’s not too bad ^^ at least I still could enjoy the movie without any sight of people’s head READ MORE

Satu Bulan

Milestone pertama yang terlihat, satu bulan. Yap, sudah sejak sekitar sebulan yang lalu saya akhirnya terdampar di kota indah bernama Nancy, di Perancis… Eropa! Well, perjalanan masih amat panjang, masih sekitar 23 bulan lagi. Tapi sebulan pertama biasanya memang yang paling berat. Rasanya campur aduk, gabungan antara euphoria, culture shock, weather shock, dan stress. Euphoria, jelas, semua terlihat lebih indah. Wah, sungai ini indah, taman itu indah, bangunan itu juga. Bahkan daun-daun musim gugur yang READ MORE

I found it!

Angin semilir. Suara dedaunan dan ranting gemerisik tertiup angin. Sinar matahari yang berkilauan dari balik dedaunan. Hangat. Angel by Sarah McLachlan terdengar mengalun di kuping sebelah kiri. Samar-samar terdengar obrolan dari pasangan yang duduk tak jauh. Alunan kicauan burung. I’m in heaven… Yep, I found my favorite place for taking a nap! 🙂

Un, deux, trois…

Well, actually there is a clothing line named that, and above is the picture of the logo ;p But nope, I’m not gonna talk about that… Yak, sepertinya saya harus banyak latihan mendengarkan les nombres, angka-angka dalam bahasa Perancis. Sebenarnya sudah bisa dibilang hafal sih, tapi… jam terbang masih kurang tampaknya, jadi di ‘lapangan’ sering mendadak dudul ~_~. Salah satu deretan angka yang sering terdengar adalah harga ketika harus membayar. Di supermarket sih tak masalah, READ MORE

Say Cheese! (Part 1)

“How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?” — Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), French general, president. Quoted in: Newsweek (New York, 1 Oct. 1962). Yep, France is indeed a country with hundreds types of cheese ^^. According to some articles there are currently around 400 types of cheese. You can just eat different type of cheese for each day in a year ^^;. So… I decided to READ MORE

Résidence Universitaire Provençal, B422

This post is dedicated to my dear mom, who is very curious where her daughter lives, and if she can sleep well at night… Hi Mom!! ^^ As I promised, here I show you my room, though I prefer you come here and see it for yourself ;p. First, when you first enter the room, you can see the closet at the left side, and bathroom at the right. Ehemm, yap, of course I did READ MORE

Saturday Night at La Place Stanislas

La Place Stanislas at night ^^ Très belle vue, I just… love it! Actually, I also spent my Friday night here, with some friends. But at that time we were focusing on finding food, for dinner ^^; so I didn’t have time to stop by and take pictures. Uhmm, I’m such a newbie and amateur at photography, taking picture of night view is so very difficult for me. It takes a lot of shots *and READ MORE
