Sharing Story & Tips BBW (Big Bad Wolf) 2017

*I know it's already late to post this review ~ i just receive Phd in procastination field #ups sorry ~ please bare with me. I try to cover everything about this BBW event based on my experience and the reality on place*

I thought i got lucky this year by getting the VIP ticket as a blogger, i was quite surprised too as i was received the VIP invitation 2 days before the event. In those 2 days, i really can't wait for 20 April 2017 to come. When the day finally come, i was so excited to go to BBW as VIP. Unfortunately i can't come early in the morning because i got things to do and lessons to catch up, so i went in the afternoon, and finally reached ICE BSD around 05.30 pm.
I was quite struggle to reach this venue as the weather was cloudy after raining, the strong wind in there makes my umbrella broken in place. I was bit shocked, scared and sad to see my umbrella broken because of the wind. My sudden thought was 'Is it a sign of bad luck? Will today be alright' while praying and hoping everything will be alright.

When entering the ICE hall, as a person living in the tropical hot of Jakarta i feel instantly cold, i think most people feel the same, except you are usually live abroad in the 4 season country. I also realize the similar feeling of ice and why it's called ICE ~ hahaha
Though, the coldness only in front hall, after entering the BBW hall the temperature will less cold and normal. But, If you don't like cold, it is better to wear sweater or jacket when entering this hall.

Hall 8 of ICE BBW

I began to take the trolley and stroll around, i was going to the novel section first then going to design section. After spending around 2 hours choosing some books on my trolley, i went to the food court area to fill my hunger, unfortunately few food truck is closed and most of the food already sold out. I decided to buy chicken kebab and chocolate almond toast, then headed back to take my trolley. I saw the time it was already 07.30 pm, without overdue i started to queue for cashier, my heart dropped to see the LONGEST QUEUE IN MY LIFE. I was bit hesitant to queue actually, but i thought it would be a waste to go home empty handed since i already spent time choosing the books and i don't know when i can go to here again. So after long time queuing, i got home at 01.30 am, it's insane

Crazy Crowd in Cashier on VIP day at 11.00 pm

Turns out, not only me experienced so, but all vips who came, have bad experience in the preview sale, it's like we become a 'guinea pig' because on next day, when bbw open to the public, my friends and a lot people say they have good experience, there's no long queue in the cashier and it's less crowded. I've got quite annoyed knowing this. So, After queieng for 4 hours to the cashier, i'm kinda trauma of it and come up with some tips to queue :

Don't just stand or sit blankly and do nothing, you will got bored easily and getting impatient, instead do something else. If you have phone in your hand you can play games, chat your friends, read articles, drawing, etc. In BBW, you can read books while waiting for the long queue.
Read the tips from the BBW : Wear comfortable clothes and shoes as the place is sooo big you're really going to be tired, bring water bottles and little bit snack, bring comfortable bag, more cash and your mandiri cards, etc
If you're going to buy a lot of books by yourself, don't hesitate to bring suitcase, you get me trolley suitcase, because the books are heavy esp if you're not heavy tolerant. It will make you a lot easier to carry your books around to home.

I was waiting for the long queue while eating my kebab, chatting with my friends, and looking around to see other books. I find many good books around the long queue, i even put few books more to my trolley hehehe an aunty behind me even go further to look for the books, some teenagers behind them even got pissed off to push her trolley forward because she is gone for too long.

Luckily, i can go to here for the second day, it was on wednesday 26 April. I heard from my friends and read other's people reviews that it already a lot better than the preview sale, there's no long queue anymore and there are some new books in there too, so i got quite excited to come. I bought a lot more books than the first time got here, my hands were full and heavy of books. I also sell "jasa titip buku" to some of my friends. Instead only looking for my own books, It feels good to help my friends looking out their books while i also can earn a little bit of money.

Bazaar Art Jakarta 2016 (Review)

Hi, how's your day?
it's been quite overwhelm for me, i've got lot of things to do beside my job,
but nothing is really done =_= I hope you are good and not doing the same like me 😂

Sooo, today i will be reviewing Bazaar Art in Jakarta that was occurred from 25-28 August 2016.This bazaar was founded by Harper's Bazaar Indonesia, and has been held annually since 2009.
I was happy to know that finally this official art event existed in Jakarta, although someone told me that it has existed before, but really i've never known it before.
As someone who never been to art bazaar in my local town before, I was pretty excited to come and see the art and paintings, what would it be in there and so on. It is located in Ritz Carlton, Pacific Place Ballroom, 4th floor, so you can enter the Pacific Place Mall to get into this ballroom, without coming to the hotel. It's for free (luckily!) you can bring anyone to here, and if you fortunate you may meet your favorite celebrity or famous people or the artists. No registration needed, but you can do if you want to get the catalog book and other information of the art bazaar.

When i first came in, i saw this helmet that drawn me in, the design was giving that artistic, colorful, cool and funny with the little umbrella on top. Can you imagine someone wearing this helmet riding a motorbike ? XD~

There are also many foreign or international artist showcase their art & craft in, like this little baby craft art by Moe Nakamura that captivated me. It vibes a well master craft, cuteness, innocent and uniqueness that i really love and always awe looking at these ♥

Tower and A boat of flowers by Hitto Asai

Moreover, i also adore the local artist art like this fantasy painting, it's just so beautiful with a quirkiness, a bit weird but uniqueness and feel some similarity to our life ♡

No One Knows

Perhaps those were right
Perhaps those were wrong
No one knows, nor the heaven knows
To believe with own disbelief
And see the unwanted to see
To accept the unacceptable
And be hurt-ed with our secrecy

To realize the most scaring to say
Maybe we were never meant to be together..

Why God?

I wonder why God made us not to be meant for only one person we destined to be with
Why not made only one love that would be made specially right for us.
Why we have to meet wrong person with wrong love before we can meet the right one.
Why that wrong one felt so perfectly right for us.
Why we can love more than one person we destined to be with.
Why you let us to give everything we had to the wrong one when we did not know that was wrong.

Thereafter, Why You made us feel hurt, and

Why we have to when we barely know that is the wrong choice.
Why don't just God make us to be destined with one person so there would be no affair and misunderstand.
So we would only fight for the love of that one and feel absolute true for us.
So that we won't feel hurt, heartbroken, lost, frustrated, depressed and misunderstood.
So that each of us know the person we were going to be with.
So that we would not lost in wander of who is our lover, who we give our love to, who are going to love
Because in the end we know that one person would not be missing and always be there for each of us.

Question and Doubts

My doubts keep appearing
Being with you it kept reappear
Those that made my lips locked
Tighten the throat in frozen

There are some questions
I still seek answers to
Everything i have regrets
When i miss the time to ask

I bang this head of my discouraged
Regretting over things would better
If only have the courage to ask
Those questions that hold back for long
"Do you love me ?"
"Am i your true lover?"
Because those moments felt so cruelly true

How can you still keep so close to me
While you keep close to other girls
With your hand is onto their shoulders

Along with dark secrets you keep silence to
And still able to look me with sincere eyes

Pretending to love me as your only one

It makes me doubt everything about you

Your goodness, your honesty, your ugliness
Though makes me love over and over again

It's Crazy

Hello Readers! How do you feel today? I have been feel poemic or poemy for the past few weeks. I made several poems and still unsure to publish all. These poems act as my reflection and medicines after feel love and brokenhearted but still my mind is running wild and unable to forget. I also read several poems from Lang Leav and get inspired to make my own. You should read her books, i really love them so much, it makes several feelings of me happy, grateful, sad and crying.

It's Crazy

I always forget about things
But strangely never about you
You take up the space of mind
Though i hardly refused to

The more to deny your presence
The stronger it holds in memory
The more i am trying to forget
The more the memories echo
The more than ever
It drives me crazy
It always is...

PS: If you see this, please tell me what you think. If you like it, i will write the others, thanks :)
