Among my classmates, maybe only me who prepared a list of places that i want to visit before getting to the Netherlands. Often my  friends made a joke that my main goal was traveling to the Netherlands, studying here is my second goal. Yup, they were not 100 percent wrong, I applied StuNed since 2008, ever had a letter of acceptance from Groningen and Twente, but failed to StuNed qualification and in Dikti scholarships interview. Finally, i decided to take my master degree in ITS, Surabaya. So if i have opportunity to study abroad my destination might be the Netherlands or Australia. 

I knew Madurodam even since elementary school, because had read a review in Bobo magazine. I also want to visit Giethoorn,  after read its review in one newspaper, a dozen years ago. Every time I see a place that i want to visit, i'll pray, i hope one day, Allah gives opportunity to get there. 
Some capture from Germany, Paris, Belgium and Netherlands Trip
Every friday, usually our lecturer slip some travel information, places to visit for the weekend, and after that my friends will ask, Astria, is that place in your list, when we will go there? or maybe, do you have any plans for that place? After a long time, I finally made ​​a list of places and dates, I usually adjust to weather or other friends appointment. For example, when we went to the Keukenhof flower garden, the event is planned on Sunday, because on Saturday, i have to go to the Embassy for General Election and some friends participated in International Sports Day at The Hague. There are two places removed from the list, Volendam and Drielandenpunt. Volendam failed, because it was too much time to the Hague Centrum on April 5. The highest point of the Netherlands, Drielandenpunt, failed because adventure tour (up to the hill), as it is just interesting to me and Yonten, others are not interested. I usually order the ticket via the web,  then borrow Mr. Roslan ATM card, and print the electronic ticket.

Since i stepped on Schiphol airport, my wish list actually achieved one. Although initially, Enschede is a city whose name is not familiar, but the city that is more suitable called a a village, hehehe is a very comfortable place. I don't like the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam or Rotterdam with towering buildings. Enschede, a small town that can be surrounded with walking or cycling, is located in the eastern part of the Netherlands and directly adjacent to Germany.

To reach Enschede, it took two hours trip using train from Schiphol. The ticket price normally is 22.8 Euro. That train ticket was the part of scholarship reimburst, so i dont have to worry about that. ITC campus can be reach by walk from the hotel. Going to open market,centrum, shops, train station and bus station only need some minutes from ITC Hotel. So the matter that have to be thought was traveling cost and how to go there. The transportation system in the Netherlands is very convenient, but the cost is quite expensive.

Prior to the Netherlands, mas Handika sent leaflets of PPI Enschede. Some web links listed there for transportation. 
  • ns.nl , Netherlands train schedule
  • connexxion.nl , bus schedule
  • 9292.nl , door to door trip planner
  • spoordeelwinkel.nl , web package for train trip
  • Groupticket web page, the most commonly used at the following link .

First weekend in the Netherlands, i did not go anywhere. The first week was weather adaptation, on saturday i spent with shopping and sightseeing,  going to Open Market. On Sunday,  i attended IMEA (Indonesian Moslem in Enschede Association) meeting which was held at ITC hotel. End of second week, some friends prepared to get ready for the exam on that week, so i choose to walk alone around Enschede and ended up with took some photos at Volkspark. Third weekend, our traveling started with the route Munster, Cologne and Dortmund. After that, almost every weekend we always go to somewhere. Usually we chose to go on Saturday, on sunday we stay in the hotel to take some rest, because  traveling in the Netherlands has a literal sense, walk very much.

Destinations were usually the main cities in the Netherlands, while the surrounding country that was visited was, Germany, France and Belgium. For traveling detail, I have to thanks a lot to mas Aris, who gave answer for any technical questions and how to go here and there hehehe. In addition, I search information by blogwalking and check at  9292.nl.

All stories written and transportation in this blog is the one that i know and use, so maybe there are other modes that i do not know  yet. Below, is a summary of some of the transport being used as intended.

1. Germany
When we travel to Germany, we use the so-called weekend ticket, Schones-Wochenende-Ticket, which is valid for a day starting at 12 am until 03 am the next day. Tickets can be purchased at ticket vending machines at a price of 44 euros , valid for 1 to 5 people. If purchased in the DB Travel Centre costs 46 euros and if bought in a train attendant costs  7.5 euros as an addition. Terms of tickets can be found at the following link .

Weekend ticket for 5 people
2. Netherlands
Almost all modes of transportation using Ov-chipkaart, a smart card that is filled with a certain money with the provisions of "tap" before and after the use of a particular vehicle. When in Perth, it similar to the Transperth. And guess what , i dont have ov-chipkaart. I decided not to buy it, due to Enscehede is the city that far from the center of Netherlands, the cost is still expensive if you want to go to another city. Me and my friends use other means to travel more cheaply. The most commonly used is group ticket with the train. There are three types of trains that I know, the first ICE, fast train, hmmm coincidence has never been board on it. Secondly, Intercity, 1st class and 2nd class, because always used a group ticket  so we were on the 2nd class. Intercity has WiFi from T-Mobile on the train. The third,  Sprinter, this train stops at every station, both large and small and does not have WiFi on the train.

a. Groupticket
Groupticket slightly different to the Netherlands and Germany trains. Group ticket purchased online with the provision of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10, the price will be more cheap if it reach 10 people. Can be used all day during the weekend and after 09:00 pm on weekdays. Price for four person is 12.25 Euros and if ten people reaching 6.4 euros/person. Tickets should be printed from a pdf link that was sent throught an email. The rules and detail can be viewed at the following link . Group ticket purchased using e-banking or credit cards, we usually use Mr. Roslan account, and we pay in cash to him.

Netherland's group ticket
b. dayticket / Daagkart
Besides ov-chipkaart and groupticket, I also used dayticket, commonly called daagkart. These tickets can be used personally, so no need to gather people to the group, valid all day. Daagkart sold interchangeably by the minimarket/supermarkets network in the Netherlands such as Jumbo, Albert Heihn, Kruidvat, Hema or Blokker. Daagkart price and regulations  are vary, Daagkaart Kruidvat  for example will cost 13.99 Euros, only valid on weekend and  certain date intervals.

Daagkart from Kruidvat
c. Buses and Tram Ticket
Me and my friends rarely use buses and trams, more often we going around by walk, but if the destination was too far, we used the bus or tram. The price is actually a little more expensive because we buy in cash to the driver or staff on the tram. For example at The Hague and Amsterdam, the fare is 2.8 / 3 euros and tickets are valid for 60 minutes. When  we went to Giethoorn, price of a bus ticket is 4.5 euros or 9 euros for return.

Bus tickets from the train station to Giethoorn
d. Tickets entry tourist spot with Holland Pas
Most of the places we visited were free, but there are some locations hehehe paid. When we went to Madurodam, we used group tickets that a little cheaper, we also use the ticket to Keukenhof in the form of a packet bus and admission to Keukenhof. There is also an alternative way to address the high cost of ticket entry using Holland Pas .

I got Holland Pas as a gift from Chen Li to enjoy the Canal Cruise in Amsterdam. Holland Pas  has Silver and Gold package ticket that can be used for different tourist attractions and places. Holland pas package price is much cheaper when compared with buying a ticket one by one. But you have to notice the use of the ticket and the selected destination. Gold Card is more valuable than Silver Card. Detailed information can be found at the following link.

3. French
a. By Bus
We did the trip to France after the second module exam. We used Megabus, which departed from Amsterdam on Friday night and back again from France on Sunday. I ordered two groups-trip ticket to Amsterdam from Enschede and return. We will be on the bus for about 8 hours. Do not imagine executive night bus like in Indonesia hehehe cheap price adjusted for the services that we obtained. When ordering, we got the price of 37 euros  for return ticket Amsterdam-Paris trip. There is also Eurolines that serve that route. Eurolines is slightly more expensive than Megabus. Details for Eurolines is on the following link , and Megabus web at the following link.

b. By Train
If you want to travel faster, Thalys trains  that only 3-4 hours  from the Netherlands, could be an option. Normal price is expensive, around 140 euros for a single trip. However, if planned well then you can get a price of 50 euros for a single trip Amsterdam-Paris.  Just try to  check the following link , for the price of a cheaper Thalys trains.

c. Paris Metro and RER to Paris sightseeing
French subway was awesome, although initially looks complicated, but  after some time, it quite easily and reach various destinations in Paris. Just make sure do not misread that map or direction hehehe choose wrong metro direction, means we must wade or stay to the next station and then back again to its original destination. I also used Paris Metro Map application in my Android, really helpful.

Paris Metro ticket
4. Belgium
I was originally going to cancel travel to Belgium, because my classmates were not interested to this country. But apparently some Indonesian friends were planning to go there, so i visited to Belgium. The trip was planned only to Antwerp instead arrived to Brussels. We boarded with the train using group ticket to Roosendaal, the last town on the border with Belgium, and then took the train to Brussels and Antwerp
Belgium train ticket
So far, it was only four countries visited. Especially vacation time was limited, shortcourse was just off on Saturday and Sunday, so the destination is usually thought that could be achieved in one day. One more day is used for breaks. Details of the cost and the path for each destination I will discuss on the next post.

Satu hal yang saya amati pada maskapai ini, hobby sekali memindahkan jadwal penerbangan penumpangnya, setidaknya yang saya alami demikian. Meski begitu, tidak ada delay dalam penerbangannya, tetap tepat waktu sesuai jadwal. Tiket pesawat disiapkan oleh pihak Neso Indonesia sejak sebelum proses pembuatan visa dengan tanggal penerbangan 18 Januari 2014 dan 12 April 2014. Jalur penerbangan yang ditempuh adalah Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur, transit sekitar 3 jam kemudian lanjut 12 jam penerbangan menempuh Kuala Lumpur-Amsterdam. Untuk tiket Bandar Lampung-Jakarta, saya memesan sendiri, setelah sampai di Belanda, tiket tersebut kemudian reimburst ke pihak Neso Indonesia dan dana penggantiannya dikirim langsung melalui rekening. Yang perlu dilakukan adalah mengirimkan tiket dan scan boarding pass melalui email ke staf Neso.

1. Flight Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur-Amsterdam
Saya sampai di Bandara Soekarno Hatta sekitar jam 5 sore. Masih agak lama sebenarnya, karena jadwal penerbangannya adalah jam 8 malam. Tapi demi melihat kondisi Jakarta yang hujan deras sampai malam, saya memutuskan pergi lebih awal, apalagi setiap pagi, terdengar berita jalan tol bandara selalu tergenang air cukup tinggi. Saat check in, saya cukup was-was dengan berat koper yang akan dimasukkan bagasi. Belum pernah rasanya menyeret koper seberat ini. Sempat duduk-duduk di luar satu jam untuk menelpon keluarga dan lain-lain, akhirnya jam 6 sore saya memutuskan untuk check in.

Saat check in, saya baru tahu, berat koper saya hanya 23 Kg dan petugas check in malah menawarkan, mbak..pindah saja ya penerbangannya satu jam lebih awal, penerbangan aslinya jam 8, dan hanya punya jeda 1 jam di Kuala Lumpur untuk transit. Transfer antar gate mungkin cukup memakan waktu, karena alasannya masuk akal, saya mengiyakan, penerbangan ke Kuala Lumpur dimajukan satu jam jadi jam 7 malam.

Artinya..saya harus segera menemukan gate, karena pesawat akan berangkat jam 7, dan saya check in sekitar jam 6 hehehe. Dan gate nya memang cukup jauh... Saya sampai, pas dengan pemanggilan penumpang masuk ke pesawat.

Karena mengejar pesawat jam 7, saya tidak sempat memberitahu keluarga. Itu sebabnya saat sampai di Malaysia dan mengirim BBM bahwa saya sampai Malaysia, mereka bengong, kenapa sampainya lebih cepat? dan baru kemudian saya cerita kalau dipindahkan jadwalnya satu jam lebih awal. Saya tidak tahu, apakah karena saya sampai Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) sudah malam (dan pagi buta saat pulang), saya merasa bandara ini tidak terlalu ramai, lebih teratur dan terkontrol, tidak seperti Soetta atau Juanda yang katanya sudah kelebihan kapasitas.

Semua yang melihat foto ini di BBM dan WA sepakat KLIA cantik dengan lampu-lampu itu
Proses mencari gate untuk penerbangan Kuala Lumpur-Amsterdam juga tidak sulit, ada banyak penunjuk jalan. Toilet bersih, sinyal wifi bagus, komputer gratis tersedia di beberapa sudut dengan koneksi internet, stop kontak untuk charger juga berfungsi. Kursi yang nyaman di ruang tunggu juga disediakan. Proses pindah antar gate yang jauh dipermudah dengan kereta ekspres Aerotrain yang berangkat setiap sepuluh menit.

Saya sempat membuka laptop, posting status, sambil menunggu proses charge handphone. Penumpang di sekitar mulai berubah. Penumpang sebelumnya didominasi wajah Asia. Penerbangan selanjutnya, semakin banyak wajah Eropa yang menunggu pesawat. Sesekali, percakapan dengan bahasa Jerman dan Belanda juga terdengar. Pesawat berangkat jam 12 malam dari KLIA, saya sebenarnya sudah mengantuk sekali, kelelahan sejak 3 hari sebelumnya, karena hanya tidur 3-4 jam saja. Diperparah dengan rutinitas meminum obat anti mabuk setiap perjalanan jauh.

Yup, selama 12 jam selanjutnya, Kuala Lumpur - Amsterdam, saya tidur dengan sukses. Saya bangun hanya untuk shalat, ke toilet, dan dibangunkan pramugrari untuk makan hehehe Meski ada fasilitas musik dan film yang bagus-bagus, hanya sempat mengintip judulnya, mata saya memang tidak bisa melek. Bahkan meski penumpang di sebelah saya bayi yang sebentar-sebentar menangis, tidur saya tidak terganggu. Menu makannya adalah nasi ayam dan nasi lemak dari Malaysia Airline. Rasanya sebenarnya lumayan, nasi lemak itu semacam nasi uduk, tapi rasanya, saya lebih suka nasi uduk bikinan saya deh.

Ini nasi ayam plus oseng-oseng buncis

Nah ini nasi lemak, plus sambal udang, menunya porsi besar, plus roti, buah, yoghurt, milk tea err plus jus buah
Saya terbangun kurang lebih dua jam sebelum mendarat, anggap kegiatan ke toilet, shalat, makan dan lain-lainnya dua jam berarti selama penerbangan saya sukses tidur 8 jam hehehe. Jam 5 pagi, hari minggu, 19 Januari sampai di Schiphol. Dua meter setelah keluar pesawat, udara dingin menyergap, melirik accuweather di hape saya melihat suhu 2 derajad, seketika saya berhenti, mengikuti ratusan penumpang lain yang mulai mengenakan jaket.

Proses pemeriksaan imigrasi berjalan lancar, entah karena terlalu excited sampai di Belanda atau karena tidur yang cukup, saya tidak terlalu kelelahan. Beruntungnya saya, selama proses kedatangan di Belanda banyak dibantu PPI Enschede. Saya mendapat kontak mas Handika lewat web PPI Enschede, kemudian diteruskan ke ketua PPI Enschede yang baru, Rusydi. Rusydi banyak memberi petunjuk lewat kontak whatsapp. Sampai di Schiphol, saya mengontak Aufar, yang katanya saat itu juga lewat Schiphol. Untuk ke Enschede butuh dua jam perjalanan dengan kereta api. 

Kontak dengan Aufar dilakukan dengan whatsapp via WiFi Bandara. Di Bandara dan stasiun kereta ada sinyal WiFi dari provider KPN. Tapi  WiFi KPN hanya bisa aktif 30 menit. Jam 10, saya bertemu Aufar di Meeting point Bandara Schiphol. Selama menunggu Aufar, saya sarapan, kebetulan bawa roti butter bawaan dari Lampung hehehe. Aufar membantu untuk membeli tiket kereta sekitar 23 euro, dan membawakan koper berat itu sampai ke kereta (Thank you Aufar ^_^). Selama di kereta api digunakan WiFi dari provider T-Mobile. Pemandangan sepanjang jalan hmmm rumput..rumput...sapi...rumput...hehehe. Sampai di Enschede Train Station, Rusydi sudah menjemput dan membantu check in sampai di ITC Hotel (Thanks ya Rusydi). Meski tidak diserang mengantuk, tapi saat itu yang ada difikiran saya adalah meluruskan punggung hehe.

2. Flight Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta
Cerita perjalanan pulang ini cukup mencekam, terutama dengan kisah hilangnya pesawat Malaysian Airlines saat itu. Bahkan Ibu saya, sempat bilang dengan kakak, kalau bisa jangan naik Malaysia Airlines lagi hahaha apa daya si tiket kan sudah jauh-jauh hari dipesan plus tanggal dan lain-lain. Pesawat jam 12 siang berangkat dari Schiphol, hari Sabtu 12 April 2014. Sekali lagi, saya merasa maskapai ini hobby memindahkan penumpang. 


Saat check-in si mbak menawarkan, mereka sedang mencari penumpang yang mau sukarela dipindahkan ke pesawat lain, Garuda Indonesia, dengan jalur Schiphol-Dubai-Jakarta, tapi berangkat jam 2 siang karena overbooking. Iseng saya kambuh, dan saya bilang, oke deh saya mau. Ternyata saat saya sampai di Gate, sukarelawan sudah terpenuhi, yah batal deh, pulang lewat Dubai.


Dan sepanjang perjalanan, yup, setiap tersadar dari pengaruh obat anti mabuk, harus banyak-banyak berdo'a dan istighfar. Dari 12 jam penerbangan Schiphol-Kuala Lumpur, 10 jamnya pesawat banyak mengalami turbulence, puluhan kali, terdengar peringatan, Fasten Your Seatbelt.. Ting..Fasten Your Seatbelt... Ting..Fasten Your Seatbelt. 

Tapi ya penumpang cuek saja, ke toilet juga tetap dengan peringatan tersebut. Mencoba menikmati perjalanan, saya memilih beberapa film, menonton sebentar, kemudian tertidur dan seterusnya, dengan tetap deg-deg an karena goncangan pesawat yang luar biasa. 

Nonton Olaf..lagi..dan lagi..

Potatoes and Lamb

Nasi Lemak dan telur, pengaruh goncangan membuat tidak satupun foto untuk menu ini yang nggak nge-blur
Sampai di KLIA sekitar jam setengah enam pagi, masih gelap, saya mengikuti penumpang lain menuju Gate untuk penerbangan Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta. Karena masih lama waktu transitnya, saya agak lama jalan-jalan dan foto di seputar KLIA. Sampai di Gate pun, saya masih menunggu sekitar dua jam sebelum pintu Gate dibuka. Nah saat di penerbangan ke Jakarta, ternyata ada juga titipan penumpang dari Garuda Indonesia sepertinya, saya tidak tahu dari jalur mana. Isi penumpang didominasi oleh wajah India. Berbeda dengan penerbangan jauh dari Belanda, flight ke Jakarta diberi snack berat, seperti foto terakhir. Berikut adalah dokumentasi foto di KLIA. 
Ayoo pindah Gate ya

Yang merah itu Aerotrain, kereta untuk perpindahan antar Gate yang jauh, cepat, bersih dan nyaman

Aerotrain yang satunya sepi, saya sampai sekitar jam 5.30 pagi soalnya

Miniatur Garuda Indonesia di Salah Satu Sudut KLIA

Hmm lampu-lampunya memang cantik, seperti bintang-bintang bertaburan

Gak ada pilihan lain, hanya menu ini untuk perjalanan Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta

Salah satu sahabat saya pernah bilang ke saya suatu waktu, kurang lebih kalimatnya seperti ini
"Tri, kalau aku punya uang, aku bakal kirim kamu ke sekolah kepribadian, biar belajar bisa senyum.."
Saya tidak tahu dia ingat atau tidak pernah mengucapkan kalimat tersebut, tapi sejak saat itu saya benar-benar belajar keras untuk tetap bisa tersenyum meski sedang sangat bad mood..gak selalu berhasil sih.. hehehe tetap saja, template wajah saya memang  kalau sedang diam, sangat serius, cenderung terlihat sedang marah, apalagi kalau memang beneran marah hahaha

Ya, perjalanan hidup saya, mengajarkan banyak hal untuk tetap waras, bersyukur dan tersenyum, then your life will be better ^_^

Di awal-awal latihan dulu, setiap pagi dan sore, saya menggunakan webcam di laptop untuk latihan. Setiap pagi, duduk di meja kerja dan take a click! di sore hari, setelah rusuh bolak-balik di dua kantor, another click. Hmmm memang ada perbedaannya, wajah fresh di pagi hari dan setelah bersentuhan dengan banyak pekerjaan di sore hari hehehe Kalau pagi-pagi dan wajah tetap terlihat stres, berarti sisa pressure hari sebelumnya terlalu berat hahaha

And i tried soo hard, learn to keep smiles.. tidak harus ada sesuatu yang lucu, atau lawakan, kadang menertawakan kebodohan dan kekonyolan diri sendiri juga cukup menghibur. Setelah tersenyum, kita sadar ada banyak hal di sekitar kita yang patut disyukuri dibandingkan menyesali keapesan kita.

Waktu di Belanda, salah satu teman pernah tertawa dan gak percaya waktu saya bilang saya pernah jadi orang yang pemarah ( iya sih dia beruntung nggak pernah lihat saya marah ), dan sisi melankolis sempurna saya kadang saya abaikan, karena saya belajar bahwa semua orang nggak sama, akan sangat melelahkan kalau menginginkan dunia ini sempurna dan jadi sangat membosankan kalau isi dunia ini orang-orang yang karakternya sama.

Jadi ceritanya, latihan senyum ini, membawa banyak berkah selama di Belanda. Bahkan, saya yang biasanya hanya mengeluarkan suara kalau ditanya pun, jadi belajar ngobrol dengan orang baru, ya sebagian besar karena memang semuanya orang yang baru dikenal kan?

Waktu mau beli bunga di BloemenMarkt, Amsterdam, ternyata penjual bunganya muslim, ngobrol dengan beliau dan saya dapat layanan yang sangat baik. Sebelumnya si Bapak penjual bunga agak bete karena banyak pengunjung yang tidak membeli bunga, tapi hanya sekedar foto-foto dengan bunga-bunga cantik di tokonya,  plus gratisan satu pot bunga ungu untuk ulang tahun saya hehehe.

Kali lain waktu mengunjungi Zaanse Schaan, seorang Bapak tua bergamis membantu saya mengeluarkan peta dari mesin, yang kebetulan, tenaga saya tidak cukup untuk menarik tuas mesin tersebut. Sepulang dari Madurodam pun sama, tiga orang kakek dan nenek yang duduk di sekitar kami di kereta, ikut tertawa dan larut dalam percakapan ketika bercanda dengan teman-teman yang kebetulan tidak mendapat tempat duduk sepanjang Amsterdam-Enschede.

Sepekan sebelum pulang ke Indonesia, saat membeli souvenir di Amsterdam, saya yang membayar terakhir dibandingkan teman-teman, sempat ngobrol dengan penjaga toko, yang kebetulan muslim, dan saya mendapatkan discount hampir 15 euro, berupa penambahan item barang dan juga hadiah langsung, bebas memilih beberapa item souvenir.

I got this money,  err as a good bye present? hehehe
Salah satu pengalaman yang berkesan adalah sepuluh euro yang saya peroleh dari ADA Supermarket. Jadi, 3 hari sebelum pulang, saya berencana memasak nasi uduk. Biasanya untuk belanja daging halal, saya membeli di ADA Supermarket. Hari itu meski sedang sangat sibuk dengan coding final project, saya menyempatkan belanja sendirian, biasanya selalu belanja dengan teman-teman.

Saat memesan daging saya sempat ngobrol dengan penjaganya, bahkan sempat membahas nama saya, dan mereka keukeuh nama saya berasal dari nama Aisyah, istri Rasulullah, meski sudah saya jelaskan nama saya Astria bukan Aisyah. Saat memilih sayuran pun saya sempat ngobrol dengan penjaga karena label harganya tidak ada. Pada waktu menunggu giliran di kasih, si bapak penjaga yang sama muncul, dan akhirnya kami malah ngobrol lagi, dia sempat bertanya apakah layanan dan daging disini good or not, dimana saya sekolah, saya tinggal dan lain-lain. Saya sempat menyatakan bahwa course singkat saya sudah hampir selesai dan rencananya hari Sabtu saya akan pulang ke Indonesia. Beliau menyatakan salam dan semoga selamat sampai tujuan, kemudian tiba giliran saya di kasir. Selesai membayar, saat sampai di pintu supermarket kemudian si Bapak menyusul dengan cepat dan menyelipkan sesuatu di kantong belanjaan. Saat tahu itu uang, saya bingung, what for? tapi si Bapak menepuk pundak saya, dan bilang, "its okey, that's for you, take care..". Mirip seperti Bapak kalau ngasih uang jajan sama anaknya. Dan saya pun hanya bisa berlalu, smile and say thank you. Sepanjang jalan ke Hotel, masih tidak habis fikir, ah..rezeki, memang harus disyukuri.

My personality type : the determined realist


I got the result from that link, most of them are true. Just sometime, i let myself not really strict to the rules, let something flow as it is :), always determined realist made me feel like a robot, without feeling.

Determined realists like to bear responsibility and welcome challenges. They are stable, reliable persons. External contacts are very important to them; they mix well and are very active. They are excellent organizers and are very happy when things are done correctly and punctually; they can quickly react impatiently if others are not as conscientious, orderly and dutiful as they are. 


They prefer structured work which produces visible results quickly to abstract, long-drawn-out processes. Determined Realists have no problem with routine as long as it serves efficiency. However, they very much dislike unexpected and unpredictable occurrences which mess up their careful plans. Once they have committed themselves to a cause they do this with dedication and are willing to make considerable sacrifices for it.

Determined Realists do not avoid conflicts and criticism but face up to them and look for solutions. As they have a keen eye for the errors and shortcomings of others and are often quick at expressing criticism, they sometimes rub people up the wrong way especially when they lose their temper and jump to conclusions. Due to their marked sense of justice they are quickly willing to correct themselves and never take offence if someone speaks to them frankly. You do not have to seek hidden motives with them; you always know where you are. Determined Realists are often found in executive positions as they combine commitment, competence and the ability to assert themselves. In their spare time, they often also accept responsibility in clubs and other institutions. 


Traditions rate highly with Determined Realists. They attend every family event and never forget a birthday or wedding anniversary. Family and friends are very important to them. With their open, communicative manner, they find it easy to get to know people and have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. They are never superficial, but reliable and loyal friends who are always there when they are needed. Determined Realists take their relationships very seriously - they dream of finding a partner for life. In a love relationship, they seek above all stability and loyalty and here, too, they are willing to invest a lot in a harmonious togetherness. Determined Realists master crises or difficult phases with composure; they would never think of breaking a promise given. As a partner, one can always rely on their support.

Adjectives that describe your type
extroverted, practical, logical, planning, direct, structured, conscientious, responsible-minded, self-confident, critical, honest, orderly, reliable, controlled, objective, able to concentrate, resolved, purposeful, communicative, with a sense of duty, tradition-conscious, stable, able to deal with conflicts, solution-oriented, relationship-oriented, efficient, impatient, warm-hearted, competition-oriented
