Get Fun on Car Free Day Jakarta

       Car Free Day or well-known as CFD in Jakarta is a day where car and motorcycle are prohibited around some spots. The purpose is to let the public enjoy the freedom of Jakarta's land either to bicycling, rooler-skating, group jogging, skate boarding, aerobic group, etc. In fact, CFD is really unique because you will see a lot of new things around. Some even bring their cute pet!

       The CFD location is along the way Senayan to Monas. CFD itself is also used as a place to hold events, like the photo above, we were conducting a campain on World AIDS day. Not only for events such as the campaign alone, but many also are building a mini stage and singing (rent is available too). Also do not worry if you feel thirsty there, you will find it very easy to buy a drink and food because there are many vendors along the road.

       Other thing for fun is also you can rent a bicycle. You will not be boring there for 100%. Some of people even not afraid to wear a costume such as Doraemon, Hello Kitty, Naruto, etc cartoon thing. That is why, you are really should try to visit CFD on Sunday! It is easy to reach the location, you can tranport by bus TransJakarta and stop at Monas or Bunderan HI. It is way better if you feel free to ask the security or driver too.

      Car Free Day in Jakarta is held every Sunday from 06:00 to 11:00 pm, the location along the way Senayan - HI Roundabout - Monas. For the two-wheeled vehicle can be parked in IRTI Monas, Plaza Senayan, Ratu Plaza, Market Lower Dam, and other nearby locations.

Museum Always be a Good Place to Escape from Life or Even....... Photo Session?

       Throwback to Saturday when my day off came! I have to admit my weekday working too crazy and i need a escape plan. So i choose Saturday to do it.

Here came the day! So, In the first place the plan will be my – ‘me time’. Right after i visit a Young on Top’s seminar with the talker is Dayu Dara Permata, as a co-founder Gojek. It was inspired 2 hours talking about creative idea and communication. For a next blog, i am gonna tell you what Gojek is and you will be excited to try it!

      Come back to my seminar.  after visited it, I went to Museum Galerry National Indonesia, which is located right after station of Gambir. On the way there, i received a text from my  high school bestie asked where i was and what i gonna did for my Saturday night. I told her i was gonna have my me time in museum and she finally joined me after i persuade her with this sentence ‘we would have so much picture for new profile picture and instagram’s post’ Well, pardon me but having a good accompany would be great.

       Frankly my iPhone went to low battery and about going to die when i was texting. So i told my friend i would look for a place to charge my phone and asked her to wait in her home until i was arrived and could call her.

      Then BOOOMMMMMMM! My iPhone died and i arrived in Museum Gallery National. I was thinking any if situation like, what if i charged my iPhone in museum and nearest stop contact but what if i couldnt find it or what if i charged my iPhone in Security post asked them to charged it with a please-help-me face.

      I was walking and then i found the paradise, my oasis in my desert. The Restaurant. Actually i am afraid that i couldnt afford it. Because i only got about IDR 35.000 in my pocket but thanks God i saw the banner written a toast only IDR 10.000

       So, i asked the waiter where i could put my charger and he gave me a place near to the fence. The Restaurant is simple and homely. The waiter were nice and food is delicious, i even order ayam penyet in here. After i got my phone charged i told my friend that i am here and had conversation with waiter while waiting my phone is charged at least for 60%.

       I told the waiter that i was going to enter the museum and i want to take pictures so the battery should be full and he responsed as an coincidence and told me men  those had group conversation whose seat near to us, one of them is the painter whose have his own exhibiton in the central of building.

It was my pleasure! I had a pict with him. Here’s.

Lets visit the museum!

       Museum Gallery Nasional of Indonesia consisted of 2 Building. The main building is for temporary exhibition and on the main building’s side there’s be a small buiding for permanent exhibition.

       First exhibition that i took is permanent exhibition. First time when i entered the building its a well organized.The Security is trained to limitated the visitors because its not a main building, so if all the visitors is well welcomed, it will full of people and its not comfortable. So, securites devided visitors into 2 parts. The firs twenty visitor will be welcomed first and then the rest will be wait. They are given 30 minutes to take a pict and look around permanent exhibitions. Museum also has deposit box where you can put your bag safetly.  I didnt have any pictures because it pretty crowded.

The inside was comfortable and cool with the air conditioner. 

Here's some art with me taken pictures. mind my narsism :p 

Thanks to security that had taken a good picture. 

After we visited permanent exhibition, we take a rest and saw a painted wall. it must be youth's art work. we decided to take more pictures.

The last but not least, we entered the temporary exhibition. man that own those painting took a picture of me in previous senteces.

Finally, We're Back !

       Yes, we are back ! Sorry guys for dissapearing the whole time. We were really busy with our mid-exam! In fact as always whenever we face any exam, there will be absolutely the panda-eyes over us. Sounds cliche and pretty desperate, huh? Phew. I bet some of you got a same panda-eyes problem though. 

       But however, exam weeks is over ! We did it very well of course with a hard work. From anti-book we turned into a book-lover, we also chatted everyday sharing about brainy thing, late sleep and wake up early, it was like as if there were a "Super" liquid that runs into our blood. I am sure most of you guys also suddenly became "Super" at brainy thing whenever exam is on the season. Well, to ensure you guys, you can see the struggle in here, look.

Current Time : 7.28 PM
Exam Deadline Time : 7.30 PM

       It is Linda guys, she was the only one who left at the exam room while everyone has done. I could feel the pressure just by seeing her. And I believe none of you would like to experience this kinda little-heart-attack situation. Even all she said was "I'm Fine" after finished the exam, we barely trust her up until now but let us pray for our best ! And yes, Linda, sorry for teasing you or even worse hahaha. But we love you anyway. The other thing, we also did celebrate Linda's little birthday !

From left to right :
Lisa, Linda, Jessica

       We wish you guys could see the candle because it was so funny. It is a useless wish since we can not even see it lol. It was Linda's 20th birthday, by the picture you can see that she was making a wish. And that was an extremely secret wish. None of us know it too hahaha. This older-little-lady really succed to make us sick of curious *pokepoke*. Also thank you for our beloved friend, Gatra, he was an amazing camera-man !

       So guys, once again we are back! We will post more and more interesting things to guide you around Jakarta. Feel free to comment and participate. Or even ask things surrounds. See you and keep updated !
