Yuhuuu fashion enthusiast!

-----------------------

Finally I graduated with a title S.Tr.Ds
kepanjangannya adalah Seni Terapan Desain

Empat tahun lamanya ngampus di ISI Denpasar yang aku cinta ini, akhirnya aku WISUDA! Lega banget sih, soalnya masa = masa hectic udah lewat. Tapi ternyata wisuda itu ada enak sama enggaknya. Gaenaknya duduk dempet - dempet sambil nunggu giliran maju kedepan dan panas haha.


Btw, kalo udah acara graduation begini, pasti ribet banget buat para kaum hawa. Iya aku. Musti ngurusin ngurusin baju (kebaya), sepatu sampe make up dan printilan lainnya karna ini acara sakral yang belum tentu keulang. Beda sama para cowok yang keliatannya cuma mikir tuxedo doang dan enggak ribet. Pokoknya cewek teribet.

Nah, aku tuh paling susah cari model kebaya yang aku suka. Yah yang sesuai seleraku gitu hehe (cerewet emang anaknya kalo masalah baju). Soalnya model - model modif kebaya kebanyakan menurutku terlalu hebring dan terlalu anggun buatku (ahh cewek apa aku ini). Tapi bukan berarti aku tomboi ya. Aku sukanya yang effortless tapi tetep cantik dan cute dan beda dari kebanyakan. Singkat cerita aku mau yang unik.

Nah jadi aku mau share cerita aku tentang kebaya wisuda aku kemarin tanggal 28 September 2018. So, check this out!

DESAIN
Simple but eye-catching itu konsep dadakan dari outfit wisuda aku ini. Tapi enggak pake brainstorming atau moodboard ya wkwk niat banget dong emang mau TA? hehe. Kalo diperhatiin kebaya aku itu nggak banyak payetnya, dikasi payetpun karena dipaksa tukang kebayanya. Tapi aku minta ditaburin acak gitu aja dan enggak banyak dibagian kerung leher sama bawah lengan pake payet batangan warna emas.

Terus, yang buat eyecathcing adalah style kebaya modif yang aku desain (biar keren kedengerannya haha) ini bener - bener out of comfort zone nya kebaya - kebaya wisuda kebanyakan yang ada di Bali.

Kalau kamu orang Bali, pasti kamu taulah model kebaya modif yang lagi jaman itu kayak gimana, mungkin yang ala - ala sabrina trus ada detail full bordir + payet di bagian dada kepundak atau yang lainnya yang menurut kalian itu cantik banget. Menurut aku juga cantik banget emang, tapi kalo aku bayangin aku yang pake itu kok kayaknya nggak cocok ya (malu sebenernya). Apalagi kebayakan kebaya modif yang disewain itu pasti size-nya pada kebesaran di aku. Hufffft, maklum badanku supet irit. Jadi, karena kebetulan juga aku kepingin buat kebaya aku sendiri dengan desain yang beda, yaudalah dicoba.


Dimulai dari berandai - andai. Ini sket kasar yang aku buat waktu H-10 wisuda. Ya, H-10 itu waktu yang cukup singkat. Waktu itu masih sangat - sangat ragu, "bisa nggak ya dapet warna brokat kayak gini? dapet kain luriknya kayak gini dimana yaa?". Jadi, aku pingin banget pake kain lurik, soalnya kain itu asal kampung bapak - ibuku, Klaten - Jogja. Pingin aja waktu wisuda aku pake kain ini dengan rasa bangga karena udah kelar kuliah tanpa nunda hehe *cheers*. 

Kebetulan aku dari kedua saudaraku yang pertama kali wisuda. Waktu itu selesai wisuda bapak ke kamarku dan bilang "Bapak bangga kamu udah selesai", aku sebagai anak yang cengeng mewek dong.  Mungkin menurutmu agak lebay, tapi momen itu bener - bener berarti buat aku. Soalnya, ini salah satu cita - cita bapak - mamak untuk nyekolahin anaknya sampe kuliah trus wisuda. Alhamdullilah. 

Dannn, semua yang aku harapin itu kejadian. Senengggg. Kalo kalian sempet mampir ke menu profile aku pasti kalian tau moto yang aku ambil dari novel "no action nothing happen, take action miracle happen". Kalo nggak ada usaha ya nggak akan bisa kewujud kan? Beberapa kali aku hunting kain brokat dan akhirnya ketemu! Ah lumayan, warnanya pas warna nude coklat kulit yang aku mau. Trus aku cari - cari olshop yang jual lurik murah juga ketemu! Walaupun sempet takut ketipu hehe tapi akhirnya sampe rumah H-5 cuyy. Mungkin emang udah takdir ya aku disuruh pake desainku ini pas wisuda, akutu senenggggggg parah.

Nggak semua aku lempar ke tukang untuk jahit, cuma kebayanya doang soalnya budget menipis. Jadi aku harus jait rok kamenku sendiri. Dirumah aku nggak punya mesin jahit jadi aku super terimakasih buat Tya temen kampus aku sama mamanya yang ngijinin aku jait sampe tengah malem buat nyelesaiin kamenku itu di H-1 wisuda. Gatau lah kalo aku nggak juari - juariin mungkin aku gabisa pake kain luriknya :') hmm.  Makasi banyak Tyak❤️


ACCESSORIES
Untuk accessories-nya pun aku buat sendiri. Haha sok ide emang sih, tapi aku suka! Dari bros ala ala alpaka (bener ga namanya?) yang aku buat sendiri, tapi sekarang ilang gatau jatuh dimana huhu krosok kali aku. Trus antingpun aku buat sendiri pake bahan yang ada dirumah. Aku gasuka pake subeng - subengan soalnya. Nyewa juga lumayan cuannya hehe. You know, I love and prefer to DIY!

MAKEUP
Aku tipe cewek yang nggak suka make up yang bold. Aku suka yang polos - polos tapi ya jadi cantik juga. Yah istilahnya neutral look gais haha. Ahh, aku seneng banget sama hasil make up dari temen aku yang udah jadi beauty-gram ini, Wiwidd Maharani namanya. Make up-nya tahan lama dan finishing-nya itu loh yang aku suka! Jatuhnya itu glowing dan flawless. Ahh cinta akutu. Recommended banget kalo kalian tinggal di Bali seputaran Denpasar bisa calling si cantik ini, ramah anaknya yang penting kamu enggak cerewet aja hihi. Oh iya, untuk hairdo nya bukan dia yang buat ya, ini aku sok ide juga buat sendiri dan buru - buru karena aku telat bangun paginya huhu. Jadi rada berantakan. Tapi untung aku pake topi toga.

Sebelumnya di waktu aku Yudisium, aku juga buat kebaya aku sendiri. Tanpa payet tapi ada kombinasi brokat - brokatnya. Aku juga suka kebaya aku yang itu soalnya warnanya cantik! Kombinasi warna pink - gold. Ini aku sambilan belajar buat kebaya modif sih waktu itu. Aku udah punya kebaya ini dari semester 3 haha dan dulu aku planning untuk pake ini di wisuda. Yah tapi kenyataanya aku berubah pikiran terus pake kebaya lurik ini ehehe.

Kalo penasara, bisa liat kebaya Yudisiumku di link ini: 
https://www.instagram.com/p/BnINEUrj92E/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Aku jadi inget kata dosenku waktu itu yang disampein sama temen kelasku, Septi, katanya "Kita harus pede sama karya kita" kurang lebih sih gitu katanya. Hari itu aku pede banget, padahal waktu itu juga aku mahasiswa terakhir yang masuk gedung (TELAT) terus diliatin orang - orang tapi aku tetep jalan tanpa ngeliatin orang - orang itu balik haha jangan dicontoh ya!

Overall, aku puas dan lega di hari wisudaku. Walaupun yah... ada beberapa yang missing tapi enggak apa - apa sih. Aku bersyukur akhirnya masa - masa perkuliahan selesai. Dan sekarang waktunya welcome to the real life! haha. Jadi apa yaa aku nanti?

Anyway, thanks for reading guys! 
Semoga kebaya ala - ala aku ini bisa ngasih ide ke kalian untuk kebaya wisuda kalian nanti! Kalo kalian mau buat diakupun aku sanggupin kok hehe :P contact me directly aja. Jangan lupa follow @itsnoque.

Yuhuuu beauty enthusiast!
Finally I'm back to my blog after vacuum for a long century ahaha just kidding.

Oke untuk mengawali blog aku lagi nih. Aku mau share review make up yang aku dapet di awal bulan September ini. Aku dapet giveaway make up dari Bourjois X Patricia Devina yang harganya senilai Rp. 500.000,-. Lumayan lah ya.


Oya, udah ada yang tau belom brand make up Bourjois ini? 
Jujur, ini pertama kalinya aku tau hehe. Kalo kak Patricia enggak ngadain ini giveaway mungkin aku gabakal pernah tau sih wkwk.

Nah, jadi Bourjois yang katanya dibaca Borjoa ini adalah brand make up asal Paris dan produk - produknya itu berkualitas loh (iyalah dari Paris gitulo). Salah satu yang paling hype di kalangan beauty vlo/blogger itu produk foundation-nya Bourjois yang namanya Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. Aku juga dikasih tau sama temen aku yang udah jadi beauty blogger itu (eciee) kalo produk ini bagus. Dan aku dapet baca - baca di beberapa forum, katanya foundi ini tahan lama banget trus cocok gitu buat kulit berminyak. Dan ternyata lagi waktu aku buka official website Bourjois, foundie ini tuh best seller mereka! Jadi penasaran banget sebagus apa kan :(

Ehh tapi ya, akunya nggak dapet foundie yang Healthy Mix Serum ini. Aku dapet adeknya, enggak adeknya juga sih hehe. Tapi ini varian untuk yang suka panas - panasan diluar nih. Langsung aja deh ke review-nya ya. 

Jadi aku, dapet tiga produk dari Bourjois. Yang pertama ada Bourjois City Radiance Foundation, yang kedua ada Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick dan yang ketiga itu Levres Contour Edition Lip Pencil.


1. BOURJOIS CITY RADIANCE FOUNDATION
Nah ini nih, foundation yang cocok buat kamu yang mukanya sering kepapar sinar matahari dan polusi. Kalo di liat dari packagingnya, warna yang dipilih untuk City Radiance itu manis banget. Warnanya baby pink terus tulisnya warna silver yang buat produk ini enggak keliatan murahan. Apalagi tulisan silvernya itu loh yang mantulin cahaya jadi buat silau hehe. Nah beda dari packagingnya si Healthy Mix Serum, si City Radiance ini terbuat dari bahan plastik. Jadi nggak gampang pecah kalo mau dilemparin. Siapa tau kan saking gemesnya kamu pingin lempar gitu. Untuk harganya, kisaran harga 200ribuan, hmm lumayan pricey ya.



Lanjut ke manfaat si City Randiance. 
Seperti namanya City (iya Siti) ini, punya manfaat seperti screen anti pollution untuk mencegah dari polusi yang ada diluar sana, dijalanan maksudnya, diluar rumah, diluar gedung gitu lo. Selain itu, si City bisa buat muka kita jadi lebih cerah seketika! Nah ini nih yang akutu sukaaa hehe. Nggak itu aja loh, si City juga punya SPF 30 (lumayan banget kan SPFnya!). Teruss, ada PA +++ nya juga loh (gila to the dead ini, parahhh) Jadi tuh, City Radiance bisa melindungi kulit wajah kita selama 8 jam. WAUWW! komplit banget lah ni foundation.



Walaupun kamu nggak main keluar buat panas - panasan, City Radiance juga nggak buat kulit kamu kering kok, malah makin glowing! Kenapa gitu? Soalnya City Radiance punya 24 hours hydration. Maksudnya itu, City Radiance ga bakal bikin kulit kamu dehidrasi walaupun kamu pakenya selama pemakaian 24 jam gitu, soalnya ada 40% formula air di kandungan foundi ini, jadi tetep lembab gitu deh. Dannn, ini cocok untuk semua kulit loh, walaupun emang lebih direkomendasiin untuk kulit kering. Tapi buat kamu yang kulitnya berminyak kayak aku, kita masih bisa pakai kok.



Nah ini tekstur dari si City. Kebetulan aku dapet shade yang No.2 - Vanille Vanilla. Untuk pilihan shade-nya ada 6 warna. Warna shade dari City Radiance terbilang cocok untuk kulit - kulit Asia. Kalo diliat creamnya itu lumayan cair tapi sehabis di blend, ngesetnya itu cepet banget. Hasilnya langsung matte. Dan menurut aku putihnya nggak bikin pucet dan nggak abu - abu. Tapi buat kulit keliatan lebih manusiawi, lebih sehat maksudnya wkwk. Dann efek brightening-nya itu beneran keluar! Ah aku kesel, bagus gini foundation-nya apalagi yang Healthy Mix Serum yah? Uh penasaran akunya.  Oya, City Radiance termasuk kategori foundi yang light-medium coverage ya.

Note banget untuk City Radiance, doi sama sekali nggak bikin oksidasi permisahhh (makin cinta akunya loo :,). Btw, yang belum tau apa itu oksidasi, setau aku oksidasi itu penggelapan warna foundation setelah pemakaian lama. And YESS, City Radiance nggak bikin oksidasi tapi GLOWING FINISH!


2. ROUGE EDITION VELVET LIPSTICK
Next, ini nih liquid lipstick yang hype juga dari Boujois, tapi akunya baru tau juga wkwk (ya maklum waktu itu masih nggak ngerti yang namanya lipstick :). Packaging-nya simpel elegan gitu dan bahannya kayak dari kaca deh atau mungkin semi, mau aku coba lempar untuk mastiin tapi takut beneran pecah kan sayang ehehe.



Untuk aplikatornya sendiri sama seperti aplikator liquid lipstick kebanyakan dan menurut aku terbilang sangat nyaman dipake soalnya nggak kepanjangan atau kependekan, pas gitu. Oya, Rouge Edition ini nggak punya box ya, si City juga. Tapi mereka punya segel, jadi kalo udah pernah dibuka ketauan deh bukan produk baru lagi hehe.



Si Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick ini banyak banget pilihan warnanya. Launching-nya nggak barengan, bertahap gitu. Shades yang ditawarin mulai dari yang seri nudes, pinkish, purple, orange sampe yang bold. Total warna sampai sekarang ada 37 shades. Dan salah satu yang aku dapet itu yang seri bold-nya, yaitu seri 08 - Grand Cru. Warnyanya burgundy kayak warna wine.



Pertama kali aku swatch di tangan rada kaget sih soalnya kayak enggak pigmented. Cair bangettt, mirip lip tint tapi ga kayak air juga ya. Sampe akutu bingung, liquid lipstick kok gini ya? soalnya kebanyakan liquid lipstick yang aku punya itu kentel trus creamy dan keliatan padet walaupun aku swatchnya tipis. Iya, jadi aku suka pake lipstick yang tipis dan nggak ngeblok. Teruss, yang buat aku heran juga, ada tulisan "matte finish" di bagian segel kan tapi kok glossy banget aku liatnya waktu di swatch, masa sih bakal matte? (ngomong sendiri).

Dan ternyata, setelah aku aplikasiin ke bibir itu hasilnya beneran matte finish dan pigmented. Nah jadi tuh, emang si Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick ini awalnya bakal keliatan glossy dan untuk ke matte finish-nya lumayan lama. Parahnya si Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick ini (panjang bener namanya) sangat sangat nyaman dipake di bibir. SERIUS! Jujur nih ya, dari lip matte yang aku punya, biasanya mereka bikin bibir aku pecah atau nge-crack kalo udah dipake lama dan biasanyanya tuh bikin garis - garis putih di bagian dalem bibir aku. Jelek banget! Ini yang paling aku benci, jadi keliatan nggak nyatu di bibir dan kering huhu. Tapiii, si Rouge itu liquid lipstick pertama yang aku rasain beda di bibir aku. Sama sekali nggak ninggalin bekas garis putih itu. Dan kalo udah di pake di bibir kayak nyatu sama bibir hampir kerasa nggak pake lipstick loh, ringan banget walaupun pakenya tebel. Teruss, hal yang paling penting adalah, katanya si Rounge itu tahan sampe 24 jam lohh, WAUW!

Karena teksturnya yang lumayan cair dan smooth ini, kita bisa pake untuk ombre lipstick juga, bitten effect gitu. Nah kalo aku sukanya di ombrein. Biasanya aku campurin sama NYX Lip Cream - London. Terus kalo mau dipakein untuk blush on dadakan juga oke banget. Tipis - tipis aja ya dan langsung blend. Ini aku sempet gosokin pake tangan aku, Lumayan kegeser, tapi ini belom bener - bener ke set ya, wkwk enggak sabar nungguin sih akunya hehe. Swatch-nya aku barengin langsung sama lip pencil nya di bawah ya.

Note untuk Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick adalah overall aku suka banget, ini kayak jenis liquid lipstick yang aku cari - cari tekstur dan finishingnya oke parah. Sayang banget aku dapet yang warna maroon, kalo jenis warna - warna nude pasti makin gila ini lipstick. Mau beli sendiri, eh ternyata harganya lumayan pricey, hiks. Sekitar 200ribuan juga. Tapi ya, ini sangat worth to buy karena kalian nggak bakal nyesel!


3. LEVRES COUNTOUR EDITION LIP PENCIL
Last but not least, ini adalah lip pencil Bourjois yang bisa dipaketin sama si Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick. Sebenernya kalo untuk lip pencil atau lip liner gitu aku nggak sering pake. Tapi dulu aku punya dari Oriflame yang bentuknya kayak stick. Cuma aku jarang pake trus aku kasih ke orang hehe. Emang sih ya, lip pencil ini ngebantu kita untuk ngasih kesan rapi terus berbentuk sempurna di bibir. Kalo aku malah nggak terlalu suka yang begitu hehe. Aku sukanya blobor tipis - tipis tapi nggak buat memble lo yaa -,- 




Si Levres ini juga nggak punya packaging khusus dan enggak disegel. Warna cover pensilnya itu mirip banget sama warna pencil-nya. Dengan tulisan yang warna emas menyala. Bentukannya emang mirip lip pencil kebanyakan ya, nggak terlalu berciri khas. 




Levres Contour Edition ini punya 15 shades. Nah, aku dapet 07 - Cherry Boom Boom yang warnanya cocok untuk dipaduin sama si Grand Cru. Untuk teksturnya sendiri waktu aku swatch di tangan, ternyata creamy banget dan warnanya langsung keluar waktu sekali swatch. Enggak kayak pensil warna hehe. Terus katanya ini tahan sampe 12 jam tanpa touch up loh. Dan hasilnya itu semi matte.



Aku nggak bisa kasi review lebih soalnya aku ga terlalu pake lip pencil. Tapi buat kamu yang suka pake lip pencil, si Levres Contour Edition ini bagus dan nggak bikin bibir kering.Untuk harganya itu sekitar 100ribuan.

Nah ini hasil swatch dan blending pake tangan dari Grand Cru dan Cherry Boom Boom. Si Grand Chu emang keliatan glossy waktu pertama di aplikasiin, tapi nantinya bakal matte finish kok ;)



Yeay! Akhirnyaaa selesai juga review-nya. Overall aku suka semuanya dan sangat memuaskan hasilnya. Tapi harganya cukup pricey untuk mahasiswa hehe. Kalo ditanya aku bakal beli atau nggaknya..... AKU BELI! (kalo pas ada duit lebih wkwk). Iya aku beli tapi yang lipstick warna lain yang nude untuk dipake sehari - hari. Kalo foundationnya mungkin aku ga bakal repurchase (eh kan giveaway ngapain repurchase wkwk), soalnya mau coba yang Healthy Mix Serum hehe. Terus kalo lip pencilnya pastinya enggak, soalnya aku enggak pernah pake juga. 


Okedeh. Thanks for reading girls !
Jangan lupa share ke temen - temen kalian untuk bagi - bagi informasi :D

SAWATDE KA ! Chan Nita ka 55555 😋

It's been a long time since I went back home. I think almost a year. And to full fill a request from the most friendly lecturer in Thammasat. So, I'm here to write about my experience as an exchange student in Thailand!! Woohoo

As we know that Thailand is one of beautiful country in the South-East Asia with a beautiful city, culture and unique language. Thailand was my first dream country that I really wanted to visit. And it had COME TRUE!. How lucky I am and so grateful.

Then "How it could be happen?"

"No action nothing happen, take action miracle happen" 
-  A Novel

That is a quote that I picked from a novel and thought me to believe that everything will happen if I do it and always grateful for everything that I've got. Nothing can happen if you didn't do anything, right? So let's DO IT! #shushu 


Anyway, the reason why I really wanted to visit Thailand is because I love watching Thai's Movie. The first Thai's Movie which make me felt in love is The Crazy Little Things Called Love. And I'm interested to learn Thai language. And (again) Thai has a lot of handsome guys lol.

Alright continuing with my experience. Well in short, I went there with my senior class. We were the representatives from our campus ISI Denpasar, Bali. BALI????? yup, that's my home town but I'm not the real Balinese girl, just was born there and stay in there. I'm not pure Balinese because my parent are Javanese #FYI.


THAMMASAT UNIVERSITY WAS MY HOME


Took in Thammasat Tha Prachan Center (Bangkok)

Yuhuuu, Thammasat University was my campus in Thailand. I'm so glad and proud because I could be one of students in there, eventhough only less than 5 months. Thammasat has 4 branches campus and I studied in Thammasat Rangsit Center. It takes about an hour from Bangkok to Rangsit. And I used to take campus' van to bring me back and forth. Unfortunately, it's not free, I have to pay 40 baht/person.

You know... I ever dreamed about studying in big campus where I can chill anywhere haha. My home university has a large space anyway. BUT Thammasat is larger than my home university. Sooooo bigger and larger! until you need to take free yellow bus also called NGV bus inside Thammasat to go around campus. But the buses only at Thammasat Rangsit.

Anyway, I took BJM Program (it's in Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication). It's totally opposite with the real major in my home uni, mine is fashion design. But never mind. I took  BJM because I thought that I can get involved about media and journalism. Moreover, I can't take fashion class in Thammasat because they don't have an international class (English program) of it. That's why, applying at BJM is the right way lol.

Sometimes I like writing and designing. This website is the newest blog of mine for one Subject in BJM. Be honest, I like how the teachers taught the students in the class. So fun and different. As you can see, making a blog and updating every week, making you more productive. Because without you realize, you need to think "WHAT'S THE NEXT POST THAT YOU SHOULD WRITE?". That's for the example. It's like a challenge. #SayFun



HOW I SURVIVED
Anyway it was my first time to live away from my parents, especially my mom. And I never live alone with stranger before. Moreover, I was alone because all of my Indonesian friends stayed in Bangkok. But I tried to think positively like that was a challenge to get a new experience #cheers


Then lucky me, I got a roommate! She's Yuka. She is an exchange student from Japan who studied in Rangsit as well. We stayed in a dorm (called VKP Mansion) which is opposite with Thammasat Rangsit, and it only takes about 5 minutes by walking. It was so funn! I felt like I was in the Thai-Movie with the white and black uniform.

We took this in Thammasat Pool (Rangsit). That was our first and last time to swim there lol.

Anyway, I really love my dorm, because the payment is suit with my pocket lol and the location is so close with the university. Although it's not an exclusive dorm but it's really comfortable. I can see sunrise in every morning from the balcony. And my favorite thing is... I can see how big Thmmasat Rangsit from my balcony too. Really miss it so much.

Yeah, this is what I could see from my balcony. Pretty...
Anyway, that 3 twins building are the Stadium for exercise like badminton, tennis etc.


For feeding myself, I usually buy a box of fast meal in Seven Eleven.  Sometimes I boil noodle at dorm. But from all foods in Thailand, one of food corner in JC Canteen at Thammasat Rangsit is the best meal I ever tasted ! So healthy because you can add the vegetables as much as you want and it's free! ❤️

My Favorite Meal in Thailand! I don't remember the name but ani aroi mak (it's delicious) !


Many people thought me a pure Thai. Maybe because of my oriental face like Chinese with slanting eyes on point haha. That was so funny when Thai people greet me with in Thai  and I replied them "I'm not Thai, I'm not Thai" haha one of them was the ice cream seller in Thammasat's canteen. He said that I really looked like Thai girl  (I hope he mentioned like the pretty Thai girls lol) and I said "Oh, mai mai. I'm Indonesian", "Oh, Indonesia same same like Thai" he replied, "kaaa" I said. He is so friendly and funny tbh. 

But the positive thing because of my face is like the local people. It's easy for me to enter some Thailand tourist attractions in Bangkok for free hihi. And got normal price because I said "ani tao rai kha?" (how much is this).  Then they won't give me a high price like the other tourist. 


MAKING SOME FRIENDS

Honestly, actually I'm a shy person. But if you have known me very well, there is one thing that you will know.... I'm CUTE (lol kidding). I tried to be nice and be a welcome person to everyone, except an  to an annoying person and the those who don't respect each other. The key is if they treat me better, so do I.

Well, in the first coming to Thailand Ninny was the first Thai friend whom I had. That's because she was my Thai-buddy from Thammasat. You know... She's really nice, cute and polite. Then she introduced me to her friends when I came to Thammasat Rangsit at the first time. I met Bos and Nadia. Bos, he always make me laugh! He's really funny and so natural! And Nadia, she's one of an exotic Thai girl I ever met! and very kind person.

This was our farewell party the day before I went back home. IT WAS SO HAPPY!
(left: Ninny & Boss, right: Me & Yuka)

Even though we were not really often to waste time together, but it feels like I have known them for a long time.

By the time, I met with another exchange student from (almost) around the world in "Melting Pot". What's that??? Well, Melting Pot is a group chat on Line Messenger where I can chit-chat and meet with new friends. That group is only the  students of Thammasat Rangsit, because it was born in there. Chit - chit and Sai are the lovely Melting Pot's member. We were in the same class too because they're BJM Senior. OH! I Really love that class! It was so cozy, fun and relax. It's News Editing class which was directly guided by Mrs. Sanitsuda Ekachai, she is so awesome teacher! Even though I was in the senior class but the people are so kind and so so pretty like Nicha and Lily. Yeah, it's Lily Pantila, I never knew before that she's an actress. But yeah in BJM it could be happen because I heard that not a few artists are Thammasat graduates. Even I was in the same class too with Baifern Pimchanok aka Nam in The Crazy Thing Called Love Movie. It wasn't her but her brother hahaha. I thought It was so close to meet her, but I was to shy to ask her brother. SO SAD.

Sooo, we were the member of News Editing Class. Can you find me? :p

Wait! where were we? Ohh, Melting Pot! haha sorry, I'm just too excited. Well, for me Melting Pot is like a Family❤️

And, Melting Pot ! It took on Sai's Birthday. 

Move to another friends. BJM'16 SQUAD! It's the exchange students in 2016. The members less than 15 persons I guess (including me). Two of them from America, some Japanese, one Taiwanese, and me Indonesian lol.

Maria, Me, Mr. Fun, Momo and Ariel (After Final Presentation)

There are Maria, Ariel and Momo who were always around me. Because I have 2 classes where I could meet them in a week. Also Maria stayed in the same dorm with me. They're so fun girls. And the other of Japanese girls like Fumi, Yuki, Mina, Lica, and the others are so cute. Pffftt... miss them so much.



UNFORGETTABLE THINGS

Well if you have read my old post about some things that I love in Thammasat in Rangsit, you might know them. But if you haven't, so you can visit here.

Well actually it is everything. Everything about Thailand and Thammasat that I can't forget in my life.  That's really a miracle for me to got an opportunity to be an exchange student. I'm very grateful. And that's gonna be a best day of my life. The last thing is, I want to come back again someday. Or maybe... go to Paris? lol I need a plenty of money for that then. I really have a plenty of dreams. I'm just hoping I can be a better person in the future to make my parents happy and proud of me.

Hey you there! How was your day? I hope you’re wonderful! Anyway, since I have stayed in here for 4 months (time run so fast) I really miss my friends in my home university. I miss spending my time with them. I also miss sewing task hahaha. I’m totally forget about the basic of patter clothes. So sad. It means after arriving home I need to study it again #ugh.
Well, last semester I got an assignment about “Making Dress for your Friend” that means I have to work in group (only 2 person) and I make dress for my friend then vice versa. That was a challenge for me, because I never make a dress by myself. So, the dress design is up to us. There’re steps to make the dress becomes real:

1.       Sketch the design as we want and give the color!
2.       Measure the body’s size.
3.       Make the pattern based on the sketch that we have made.
4.       Decide and buy the fabric.
5.       Put the pattern on the fabric, then cut!
6.       Sewing!
7.       Fitting!
8.       Sewing!
9.       Fitting!
10.   FINISH! #YEAY

But, it’s still depend on dress’ design. The more difficult the dress’ design, so it’s more steps as well. Those are basic steps. For my dress that I made actually more than those 10 steps hahaha.

So, the idea of the dress that I wanted to make is a black mini dress. Didn’t forget to match it with my friend’s body and her look. Because my friend, Kathleen has shorty-fatty body #oopsPEACE. So I decided to make a black mini dress. Because black clothes can make people look slimmer or vice versa. And It’s easy to use in every opportunity (parties). Besides that, black is neutral color that can represent elegances, sexiness and mysteriousness. But, because I also like CUTE THINGS. I wanted it has a short volume skirt.
The idea of the dress (Fashion Illustration)
Then, I made the pattern with simple way. Yeah, my teacher gave us simple way for basic pattern. The hardest thing that make me confused during making the pattern was the skirt and the part of shoulder. As you’ve seen before on my sketch. I wanted the skirt has volume and with L-line, we called it L-line in fashion’s term. By helping from my lovely friend, Kathleen ahaha she helped me to finish the pattern. Because like every week we have to submit our progress of the dress.

Continuing to buy the fabric. I bought it in traditional market near my home university. I don’t know what is exactly the name of the fabric. At least it is not cotton or silk or velvet. Oh no ._. I forget everything about fabric #pffft. But I try to explain the fabric. Well, it’s not shiny but it’s like a matte lipstick if I compare with it hahah. Yeah It’s like a doff fabric. Little bit slippery and it’s okay to iron it. I hope those clues help you to guess lol.

After that, I cut every part and sewed them starting from the collar then the top then the skirt. And because I added something like “lace” on collar and chest part, so I need to sew them by my hand. Doesn’t matter for me, I love it. Anyway, I choose gold lace as a garnish on my dress #yeah. Gold means expensive. I love to combine black with gold things. It makes more expensive!

Moving to connect the collar – top – and skirt by sewing them. When connecting the collar and top was fine but when the top part and the skirt part, it was so difficult. Because it’s so long by following the round between them. And it’s hard to explain too #poorofme. And the sad thing was when I asked my teacher after sewing them, she said “you need to add furring inside”. The furring means by lining/covering inside part, so then the front part not touching directly to your body. Do you get it? Lol so hard to explain #sorry. Yeah, you know I went back again to buy kind of furring fabric and cut as the pattern and sew again and connect it again. Soo sucks.

The final dress looks :3 (yeah bit failed  for the skirt, but that's fine :p)

And I missed the shoulder part. One of difficult part of this dress. Well to be honest. For the finishing, again my friend (Kathleen) she helped me to finish my dress lol. Indeed she’s more expert than me. She said “you know Nit, the shoulder’s part is so difficult! I almost stressful because of it”. I just laughed at her ahahha. No, of course I appreciated her helped. Without knowing by my teacher, on the final show with my confidence I admitted that was making by me. I know it cheated. But, BUT there’re still few of my friend more cheating than me. I mean, they gave their dress to the tailor. I don’t want to mention their name. Just let them. At least, I did 80% by myself and I proud of me haha :p
Me and Kathleen. I'm wearing hers and she's wearing mine :p lol

Continuing my adventure story in Thailand. So, last Monday on 14 November 2016 I skipped my afternoon class. Umm, yeah it is because I want to celebrate Loi Krathong in Bangkok with my Indonesian friends. But, I’m not really often to skip my class, I swear! I also had asked my Thai friend to tell the Ajarn (teacher) in that class anyway #yeah.

For you guys who still don’t know what is Loi Krathong, I will tell you then or for more informations you can ask uncle Google. Well, as my friend said, Loi Krathong is a festival where Loi means float and Krathong is a small lotus-shaped container. This festival is celebrated by all Thais. Thais will float the Krathong on the river. My friend said that basically Thais float it to make a wish and another of my friend said it use to get rid of the bad things. But, another person that I know (You-Know-Who) he said the Krathong is made to give thanks to the river because water is important things for human life. At least he means “Without water human cannot live”. That’s right, I agree. Can you imagine if earth doesn’t have water? Of course, I die. You die. We die. And I think, there’s no human.

For all explanations that I’ve mentioned are true, but I you still doubt just go to uncle Google. But if you believe me, let’s continue :p

Another part in Thailand has different way to celebrate Loi Krathong Festival. For example in the North Thailand, Chiang Mai. Thais in there celebrate Loi Krathong and Sky Lantern. I don’t know exactly. But I heard from my friend who went there said she flew a Lantern also floated the Krathong. But in Bangkok, people only float the Krathong. Maybe because Chiang Mai hasn’t full with tall building and still near with wide nature, that’s why people can easily blow away the Lantern. I don’t know, just guess.

So, because I wonder how Thais celebrating Loi Krathong (although I have watched on Thais Movie). But, I am really curious. I want to float my Krathong #yeah. Then, I bought a Krathong near Tha Prachan pier. It’s 25 baht. There’s a lot of type of Krathong that Thais people sell. And variation price as well. The Krathong that I bought is from bread. My friend said, bread Krathong is better because fishes in the river can eat that. That makes sense. Each of us bought it.

The Colorful Bread Krathong
We went to Asiatique for celebrating Loi Krathong #YEAY. Again, my friend said Asiatique is the main place for this celebration. Before it was near Grand Palace but because of the King’s death, so it moved to there. That was my first time to visit Asiatique. And so crowded. I went there by boat from pier near Grand Palace (I forget the name). It took almost half hour. Lil’ bit longer, but I enjoyed the night view from boat. The lights was so pretty.

Asiatique The Riverfront (the complete name) is a large open-air mall in Bangkok, Thailand. I can say that this place is kind of a romance place for shopping. How come??! Well, it’s not only the place hear river (feels like Jack and Rose haha) but, there are many things which represent romance in this place. For example, a big white 'Ferris Wheel' which is as the point interest of Asiatique. If you go with your boy/girlfriend you must get inside and see the view of Bangkok on carousel together. That’s sweet. But it’s not free. You need to pay 300 baht for adults and 250 baht for kids. Expensive, yeah.
"My Krathong belongs to you*"
The another thing is a lock love umm a fence love umm or a fence lock love? I don’t know the name exactly. There’s a mini garden with many padlocks such as thing a bridge in Paris. Yup, you can lock your padlocks at the fence and write your name and your lovely person hahaha “Love in Bangkok” not “Love in Paris”. That’s sweet.

Because it was so dark, so this source by ameba.jp
Not only that two, you also can buy kind of souvenir as well. Oh yeah! If you interested with Ladyboy show you can find one place named Calypso Cabaret. But I think you have to book the ticket first. In here.

Back with my Krathong. I tried to float it by myself anyway. So happy because it wasn’t upside-down. I use a long bamboo to float it. Because the distance between the river and the ground is higher so people and I need a long bamboo. My Krathong represent my wishes.

So crowded, I felt like in Chatuchak. Then we went back around 9.30 PM by shuttle bus (it’s FREE). But, unfortunately the shuttle bus stopped behind the Grand Palace. I wished it will stop near Pin Klao, my friend’s dorm is in there. Finally, we took a Tuk-Tuk. Wasn’t really excited when I tried Tuk-Tuk because I was too tired and sleepy and hate the price #oops. But yeah, it was exciting day. At least, I’ve got something new related about Thai culture. 




SEE YAAA GUYS! #YEAH
BYE BYEEE

YEAY! Updating for my story in Thailand. This week I went to Chatuchak. It is the most popular and largest market for souvenir, stuffs, goods, and everything you can get in Thailand. Also, this is my FIRST TIME to visit here after 3 months passed staying in Thailand. I went there with Maria and my roommate, Yuka. Actually, this is Maria’s idea to go there. In short, we left almost 3 PM by a van which is provided in Thammasat Uni, Rangsit. And it’s 30 baht per each person.
Well, I was so EXCITED! But wait.. I missed something. Um, before Maria said that we will go to JJ Market. But then, we were in Chatuchak. I was lil bit confused at first, but then I enjoyed everything. I still have a time to visit JJ Market later.

Firstly, for the environment. It looks similar like a park in Malang (East Java, Indonesia) when I passed the RMT park. Oh yeah, we walked down to the RMT to get to Chatuchak, because it's across the van's stop. I hope you can imagine it lol It’s difficult to explain, I'm sorry. Then, Welcome to CHATUCHAK! It also looks similar with kind of markets souvenir in Bali, such as Sukawati or Kuta or Tanah Lot. But Chatuchak is largerst! 


We were really walking around this market. Maria wanted to buy a Backpack and a Silk cloth. Yuka wanted aroma therapy oil. And me, I need gift for my bestie friend Fanny (remember her?) and clothes for my moms. Well I tell you, I have a lot of moms and dads haha in my home country.


The weather was so friendly! No rain and no shine. Soo lovely. Firstly, we visited kind of ceramic stuffs. Actually I hate kind of this place because they are easy to broke if you don’t keep watching on them. “Don’t touch, it won’t be broken”. The ceramics are so beautiful and unique. Just looked around and took a picture of them then leave, ahaha.


Something that make me wonder is about the electricity cables in Thailand. Why it is so random and sometimes I think it's too short to put? Why it clots into one big cable? Why it looks so scary? WHY? I never ask my Thai friends about this anyways. I forgot hehe. But yeah, it’s something small but it can be a big big problem by my sight. Not only electricity cable in Chatuchak, almost in Bangkok-Pathum Thani (the areas I use to pass). Even near my dorm. What do you think? Do you think it’s fine for you or you think so? Don’t want to blame the cable, it just looks crazy and scary ._.v


can you see those cables ._.

So crowded with bunch of people and a lot of shop choices which can make you confused and want to bring them all home. Every time I go to kind of market I always find this kind of soap. Organic soap which has smell that matching with the shape of it. Also, there’s place of arts like painting that people can buy and request. 


yummy mango soap
Finally! Dried snack of Thailand! Yeah, this one is also on my list for souvenir. There’s some places that sell this kind of snacks. Even, we can try them as free, haha. Well, my family really like durian. And I plan to buy some of dried durians.


a lot of  snacks souvenir for your family :3
As what I said, there’re a lot of things that you can find in here. I visited interesting places. Then I found cute stuffs! There was a statue shop of animals. And fake flower shop! And I think some of Indonesian Online Shop in Instagram get stuff from here. Exact, women clothes. So cheap! It’s around 100-200 baht.


Cute kitten statue that I took :3
#PASTELLY cute stuff ahhhhh
#PASTELLY cute stuff ahhhhh
Started hungry, I tried a bread which mostly people buy it. I paid 50 baht to get 3 sticks of that bread. And Maria tried coconut ice cream, looks delicious but so expensive for me, ugh. I forget the price. At least up to 50 baht. There’re also a lot of choices of food that you can try!

the breads and the coconut ice cream :9

Also, we had dinner in there too. Randomly, we tried one of food corner in there. First, I don’t like how they serve us. Second, I don’t like the food choices. Third, I don’t like the price, it doesn't match with the look and taste. Fourth, I don’t like when they missed my egg. Last, I don’t like they scream close to my ear. That’s all. Soo sad. I will never back again. And after that, we went back around 6.30 PM. Really a long day, we had waited for the bus near Chatuchak gate almost 2 hours. We had asked people to make sure whether the bus number 510 will pass in there or not. Two people said YES. But then, when Maria asked a lady, she said that we have to walk to another gate to get that bus. She said bus no 510 doesn’t pass in there. Yeah, so sad.

Waiting for another minutes in 2 bus station. We also asked people around to make sure (again). Well, because this is my first time, so I have no Idea. And as long as we waited there, finally we took a bus number 29 that goes to Future Park. Not bad. We took a taxi from there to get to Chiang Rak road. What a long day. We arrived around 9.40 PM.

Doesn’t matter for me. I enjoyed on that day. So fun, even though so sad too I spent almost 600 baht huhu. But, I’m happy finally I got blouse for my moms :3
