Midori Story

Ohayouuu gozaimasu...minna genki desu ka? :) Akhir pekan kemaren granny dapat tiket gratisan nonton Kabuki Show yang di organize oleh Nakagawa-machi International Cultural Exchange Circle via KUFSA. Kyushu University Foreign Students Association (KUFSA) merupakan organisasi yang mewadahi aktivitas non akademik mahasiswa asing di Kyushu University. Beragam kegiatan dan peran mereka, termasuk sebagai penyambung lidah atas berbagai organisasi atau komunitas yang menginginkan partisipasi mahasiswa asing. Nah salah satunya pertunjukan Kabuki ini. Organizer membatasi jumlah peserta, hanya sekitar dua puluhan orang mahasiswa asing beserta keluarga yang diberi kesempatan menyaksikan pertunjukan tersebut. Wouww... granny salah satu yang beruntung yah ;) Pihak organizer baik hati banget,  fasilitas yang disediakan tidak hanya tiket pertunjukan gratis tapi yang paling penting adalah mereka menyediakan shuttle bus gratis :)  yeayyyy!!! Kalo gak ada fasilitas transport, kayaknya gra...

Helllowwww all...haPpy WeeKenD :) Todays is international mothers days...seems it`s because the United States celebrates it every year in 12th May, it`s become common agreement that international mothers day is 12th of May..anyway it`s only my opinion :p.  Mothers day or Hari Ibu in Indonesia is every 22nd December. Meanwhile, Japanese celebrates Haha no Hi (mothers day)at the same day with US  which is today, Sunday 12th of May. Japanese tend to express their emotional feeling through flowers. Lately, i didn`t spend much time for shopping center exploration so i couldn`t tell you   about the festivity related mothers day. However, yesterday i went out to Ohashi campus and in several places especially flowers shop, i saw many flyers ``Happy Mothers Day`` was stick on the shops. They offer  a special price and special bucket of flower in this mothers day. Suddenly i really wanna meet and hug my lovely mama...wish i could give her a bucket of f...

Hello my dear ... how are you there? hope you guys stay cool ~_~ v Previous days ago i went to a Japanese Family`s house and here`s the story... This is my second experience, closely interacted with Japanese (the 1st was with my lab mates   http://midorikireii.blogspot.jp/2013/01/nabe-party.html ). How was it feels? hmmm it`s amazing and indescribable because we visited my friend -k Rita- sensei /lecturer`s residence. Prof. Hamada, the name of K`Rita`s sensei is her academic supervisor at Civil Department, Engineering Faculty of  Kyushu University. It is located in Ito Campus (just click on  http://www.eng.kyushu-u.ac.jp/e/research/civil/index.html   if you are interested to study in that field).  On that day, four of us (myself, k` Rita, Ms.Azuwa and Bu Rita) went to Prof. Hamada`s home by bu Rita`s car, takes 15-20 minutes only from Ito campus. Surprisingly, when we arrived there Prof. Hamada wasn`t at home but the family member (his mother a...

Dear my future grandchild Weekend yang mengharu biru...dapat kabar dari Makassar kalo Eyang (artinya buyut kalian dong yah) yang saat ini sedang dirawat di rumah sakit, kondisinya mengkhawatirkan. Suhu tubuh mencapai 39 derajat, tensi tubuh hanya 60 , makin lemah dan beliau pengen denger lantunan al-qur`an sampai khatam 30 juz, Subhanallah... wish i were there  Demi membuat hati ini nyaman, granny memutuskan untuk berendam di bathtub. Namun rupanya malah teringat eyang, sosok yang terlahir 73 tahun silam dengan nama R.A. Hasijah. Beliau itu rajin banget mandi, setiap mo sholat pasti mandi atau yang diistilahkannya dengan `cuci badan`. Selama di kamar mandi, eyang juga pasti melakukan ritual bersih-bersih..bak mandi, lantai hingga kloset semuanya di sikat hingga kinclong dan harum pake cairan pembersih. Ritual eyang yang satu ini mulai ku terapkan semenjak tinggal di sendiri di Jepang sendiri.  Eyang itu perempuan berani dijamannya...tahun 1960 an setelah menikah ...

Hi my future grandchild... Spring is coming in Fukuoka..yeayy...it could be correlated  with the Plum (ume) blossom. Plum blossom ? is it different with Cherry blossom ?...absolutely dear, but i won`t share about that topic now. Lately, the rain suddenly pour from the sky without considering whether I  (hohoho... who am I ? ) have a bunch activities as today. Actually i only had two appointments, first is with the beauty clinic and second is to pick up the free ticket for baseball match. Both of that places are located in two different central business district (CBD) of Fukuoka which are Hakata and Tenjin. However, it`s not a problem at all since this city (and most of big cities in developed countries, i believe) has a very cool yet convenient transportation system. I started my journey from Kaizuka Station around 10am  and the first destination is beauty clinic in front of  Hakata Station. Considering the effectiveness of my journey today, i decided go ...
