2 Things That I Want in 5 Years

(source : pinterest)
 
A Beautiful Garden

Having a wonderful garden is one of my dreams. Beautiful landscape, shiny greenhouse, modern utensils, hidroponic farm, and colourful plants included in one large yard around my dream house. It would be nice, relaxable and comfortable, not only for me but also for my family. In colonial gardening, peoples usually choose the vast they want to plant in their garden. In mine, I prefer to put every plants with such organized pattern. Such as Perennials, shrubs, climbers, trees, grasses, ferns, bamboos, bulbs, fruit, hedging, Mediterranean plants, bedding plants, and roses.

Making several changes is needed to bring a gorgeous garden landscape. Adding elevated steps to the front of my house door to add another dimension and texture, framed with bright-color flowers and plants. When colonial gardening is well known because their labyrinth path, I would rather build winding path, formed by white rocky road and snaked borders. In the middle of the front, there will be round medium-size fountain which functioned to reflect the sunlight. Well-conditioned bushes, small trees, rounded stone, and small pond on the left side of winding path. The opposite side will decorated with floral variety border arranged with roses, catmint, delphinium and rare plants.   

An Enjoyable Farm and House

Beside of having a garden, there's no other way to keep in touch with the nature, except by adding more creatures like animal. In certain way, they are better than the plants. It can move and has relaxing sound. I love to hear the sound of clucking chickens, mooing cattles, chirping grasshoppers, quacking ducks, barking dogs, purring cats, and many more. That's why I really want to have a farm someday.

As I live in the farm, there are two ideas for the housing style : modificate the barn into housebarn or build it separately from my house. The first idea is reflecting the housing style in american country and rural area such as Ohio, Texas, and Alabama. By modificating the barn, the advantages are my family and I as the owner doesn't have to walk outside while feeding or watching a medical issue on the animals such as birth of young animal. But the disadvantages are the animal noises, which often can be disruptive when an animal has sick and there are unwanted pests like mice. In the contrary, when I decide to build it separately, it maybe easier to control the noises, house or barn expansion, but it's getting harder to protect the animals. Consider to the problems that may caused by the condition above, I prefer to build the house with normal housing style and build the barn at the outside.

Despite build a normal house, I still want to build it with housebarn style, but its function just like the other houses. Through the solid and strong structure, the house will be exposed with dark green teak woods for indoor installations. Bright dining room with open layout, light colored walls, and a vintage poster of cow hanged on the wall. In the bedroom, there will be two large antique beds and oil lamps from the early of 1900s to bring more historical nuances. Right in front of my room, I put a floor-to-ceiling bookcase which holds a collection of farming vintage books such as the history of the farm, instruction, list of the tools we have, harvesting record, and marketing. All of those are based on our farm experiences.

Weekend with My Buddies


On last saturday I had a duty to brought 3 of my friends from UMS Malaysia to Mojokerto, I ask Ahong and Jono to come out with me. My malaysian friend will take on the job training course in PT. Multi Bintang Indonesia (MBI). The days before, Mr. Jadid as my lecturer ask me to bring them there by using Uber as our transportation. However, it may cost more than the budget that he given to me. Therefore I borrow Jono's car and luckily he also has a schedule in Mojokerto on that day, so we can go together. 


Following the instruction from Mr Jadid, I decide that our first destination is Mr Sutrisno house because it would be their inn for 1 month. After reach Mojokerto, we are looking for Mr. Sutrisno house which located near the factory and that's true, the home is next to the factory. The house looks fabulous, rocky road along the way, so many threes as far as i can see, and there is paddy field in front of the house. First look, the house has big door which can accomodate a buffalo. Get inside, a traditional housing style was presented with modern materials and furnitures. It has 8 bedrooms in first floor and 2 bedrooms in second floor, musholla, three bathroom and one kitchen as well. Room space is wide but there's only few furnitures. Each bedrooms has its own 2x2 window, fan, shelf, and bed. The two-way stairs is placed on the opposite of the bathroom. The bathroom is clean, wide, has big tube and shower. Dining room is located in the back, just right before the kitchen entry. 




After check the inn condition, I ask my Malaysian friends to fill the payment for 1 month to Mr. Sutrisno. I'm so worry about their further communication with the housekeeper, that's why I finish all of their administration fee on that day. Then we pray ashar together and have a conversation with Mr. Sutrisno and his family for a while. On the evening, Jono ask me, Ahong, and our Malaysian friends to join a dinner together with his family in a restaurant.

Shopping (?)



Today I go shopping with three of my friends, Djeh, Ahok and Brewok.  We are looking for a gift for Siska, our classmate.  She has final graduation test on this afternoon, so we want to give her a little surprise. Actually, we don't know what kind of gift that she likes, thus maybe we will randomly choose the gift. But at last, Ahok has an idea to buy her a dress, Brewok wants to give her a piece of bikini (he wants to buy it for real) while I and Jeh still don't have any idea. But the biggest problem is.. we don’t have enough budget to get all of those things #lol.

On 11.00 AM we go to the Karita Moslem Square which located in Ngagel. Karita is a clothes shop in Surabaya who offers both male and female branded clothes and other things related with Moslem. It also has many souvenirs with a good price. Plus, you can wrap your items right on the spot without additional fee. After an hours, we decide to buy two gifts, one from them (Ahok, Djeh, and Brewok) and another one from me.

I buy this book, hope she likes it

Why I like Reading


Reading a book is one of my hobbies. I like reading because I‘m looking for a new vocabulary and I want to learn about the writing style from any different authors. I like to study English literature and I always admire it. Started from the simple books like non-fictional books ‘till the tricky one like fictional books. 

My favorite genre is Old Plays (fictional). I like Old Plays because it can teach me about live, how people used to be, and how was society in the past. Although I often can’t fully understand what it means, I always looking for it. Now I had read a lot of plays written by Oscar Wilde and William Shakespeare. I read all of his books for free through online library ‘cause I don't want to buy any books from the local bookstore. You know, it’s kinda expensive here, especially for any foreign language literature. 

My favorite author is J.R.R. Tolkien, a man who writes fantasy novel The Lord of The Rings in 1954.  I only read three of his books, Tree and Leaf (1964), The Return of The King (1955), and Bilbo’s Last Song (1990). I adore him because he is so genius with his high-fantasy mind, he can bring the readers into his world with such an incredible details. Moreover, Tolkien also has an insane talent on creating beautiful language. When you read his book you will understand how Tolkiens use such a weird complex phrases and sentences that you may never heard before. Here I show you one of the paragraphs in his 5th book, The Return of The King 

A light kindled in the sky, a blaze of yellow fire behind dark barriers Pippin cowered back, afraid for a moment, wondering into what dreadful country Gandalf was bearing him. He rubbed his eyes, and then he saw that it was the moon rising above the eastern shadows, now almost at the full. So the night was not yet old and for hours the dark journey would go on. He stirred and spoke.
(Return of the King, Chapter 1 : Minas Tirith)
