Bukittinggi
today marked the first day we had holiday on monday, and we went to Bukittinggi. tapi karena banyak yang ikut, mobil yang disewa terpaksa harus dua dan bayar sendiri-sendiri…bule pelit kayaknya. so basically gw naik mobilnya Pak Ar dan sebentar2 berenti untuk memuaskan nafsu Arne ngambil foto panorama Marapi haha. kita sempet berenti di rumah adat Koto Gadang, toko pengrajin perak, dan akhirnya Bukit Tinggi!
gw, Hilma, dan Ibel di depan rumah tetua adat Koto Gadang *kayaknya*
Arne, pemilik rumah (tapi boong)
Jam Gadang di Bukittinggi
pertama kali tempat yang dituju adalah restoran Simpang Raya. emang beda makan nasi padang di daerah asalnya. pedesnya mantep banget!
oh ya awalnya kita dibagi jadi dua tim, satu tim mau jalan2 di sekitar Jam Gadang, tim lain mau ke Taman Nasional Bung Hatta untuk lihat Rafflesia arnoldii. tim pertama itu ada mai-lin, sophie, phillip, manfred, johan, dan killian, plus gw dan ibel. tim kedua itu maresi, arne, saida, annika, dan hilma.
gw sih ngikut tim yang pertama, karena kalo liat rafflesia perlu trekking, gw males hahah. oh ya btw ternyata mereka liat bunganya di cagar alam Batang Palupuh, Agam. gw setelah foto2 di jam gadang, pergi jalan2 ke Pasar Atas. beli kaos I love Bukittinggi buat power rangers (typische sekali ya hahah) dan hal yang gw sesali hari ini adalah kenapa ga beli gantungan kunci buat anak2 di Bukittinggi?? kenapa gw ga beli magnet kulkas itu sekalian yang khas Bukittinggi?? padahal bagus banget dan belom tentu gw nemu lagi di tempat lain (karena ga menjamin gw bakal jalan2 lagi minggu depan dan ketemu sentra souvenir). gw ga beli karena alasan mau cari yang murah dan masih banyak waktu ini…(dan di akhir gw menyadari, kok waktunya bisa ga cukup??) ah emang prinsip mending nyesel beli daripada nyesel ga beli itu harus selalu diterapkan.
abis dari Pasar Atas, kita (gw dan Ibel) luntang-lantung aja bingung mau ngapain sampe jam 5, kita ke Ramayana lah untuk belanja keperluan, trus abis itu ke Fort de Kock dan bonbin Kinantan dengan jalan kaki.
the so-called Fort de Kock. kaget juga liat bentengnya ternyata cuma beginian.
rumah adat yang ada di kompleks bonbin.
bonbinnya kasian deh, koleksi hewannya sedikit variasi spesiesnya, dan masing-masing spesiesnya juga cuma ada satu, kan kasian hewannya ga ada temennya. beberapa kandang juga kosong. pokoknya prihatin banget nih bonbin.
kalo yang ini doang yang banyak jumlahnya.
di sepanjang perjalanan antara Jam Gadang dan Fort de Kock, ada boutique hotel namanya The Hills, arsitekturnya unik sekali, khas timur tengah menurut gw, jadi pengen nyoba nginep situ *ngimpi*.
oh ya sepanjang perjalanan dari Padang Magek - Bukittinggi, pemandangannya didominasi sama Marapi melulu (ditambah selipan sawah dan Ngarai Sianok yang sayangnya gw ga ke sana, udah pernah juga dulu lagian, tapi must be nice to come back and visit Lubang Jepang too. sayang teman bepergian saya duitnya tidak terlalu banyak, jadi rada segen juga untuk jalan2)

Pacu Jawi at Perambahan
di hari Sabtu pertama gw di Tanah Datar, kerjaan gw cuma setengah hari, yey! karena bule2 ini mau nonton acara rakyat namanya Pacu Jawi, emang bule tuh yaaa demenannya ginian. pacu jawi itu balapan sapi, lombanya diadakan di sawah dan sapinya ga ditunggangin, rather, orangnya kayak skiing, ato cow sled? haha
anyway, here are some pictures of it. enjoy
suasananya mirip idul adha ya
before the race began

Saida, anaknya Arne, 9 yrs. cantik bener nih anak, sumpah
Kilian, Captain Excavation!
Kilian, Johannes, Annika. abis kecipratan karena nonton di depan. penonton di tenda yang cukup jauh aja ada yang diseruduk lho! emang mendebarkan nonton ini, mesti nebak2 ke mana arah sapi lari. kyan aja salah menghindar sampe masuk sawah haha
Hilma with the cow
overview the ubi field hehe
First Week in Tanah Datar
well, akhirnya di sinilah gw, Kabupaten Tanah Datar, ekskavasi di Bukit Gombak. beberapa cerita udah ditumpahkan di plurk, twitter,fb, bahkan chat sama temen. sudah terlalu malas untuk menceritakan dari awal hahah, jadi di sini kasih foto aja ya.
first day at Padang airport
heavy rain at the first day of excavation - maresi and johannes
overview from the hill where my trench L is
my trench at Locus 20 and 21 :) before the stones were removed of course
my face after 3 days on the site, nose got burned and my lips got inflammation (herpes) jorok bener gueeeee. wait for the next post!
salah gue?
entah kenapa sejak masuk kuliah kok gw merasa jadi ketinggalan jaman ya. Di saat temen2 bandung gw ngomongin red velvet cake setaun yang lalu, I don’t think it was a big deal, but then gw baru mengetahui sejatinya red velvet itu apa kok kayaknya enak nemen ya… Tapi klo gw making fuss of it sekarang, telat dan norak banget ga sih? Sama aja kayak sekarang, gw denger temen2 gw ke satu tempat di bali yaitu potato head, lagi2 gw mikir kepengen ke sana juga karena tempatnya hebring.
But then again, it is human nature, no? We covet. Kita selalu aja sirik sama orang, padahal blom tentu yang kita sirikin itu baik.
the last day of borobudur class. I’m supposed to hate it ends so soon, but now I feel really homesick
you are a concerned artist.
personalDNA
about you
you are an artist
Your appreciation of beauty, ability to think abstractly, and innovativeness make you an ARTIST.
Never one to be tied to a particular way of doing things, you let your imagination guide you in discovering different possibilities.
You would rather seek out new experiences than stick to your everyday habits, taking in as much of the world as possible.
Your eye for beauty and your willingness to consider different perspectives make your creative efforts interesting—even though you may not realize this yourself.
You prefer to think about things before voicing your opinion, considering a wide, diverse range of options.
While there are forms and styles that you prefer, you tend to keep an open mind when it comes to your artistic preferences.
You are curious about things, interested in the “why” more than the “how.”
You have an active imagination that leads you express yourself in a distinct way.
Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts
You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.
You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.
You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people’s notions of style.
If you want to be different:
Be more open to risks in your creative efforts, and don’t be quick to dismiss the praise of others.
Think about how attention to detail may help you be more sure of yourself.
how you relate to others
you are concerned
Your understanding of others’ emotions, your sense of right and wrong, and your skeptical nature make you CONCERNED.
Your observations of your environment, in concert with your clearly defined worldview, leads you to be aware of the feelings of others.
Because you can read people well, and because you can understand their feelings, you are often bothered by others’ insensitive behavior.
While you appreciate others’ emotional nature, you don’t think their emotional concerns should take precedence over their obligations to society.
You prefer to be in smaller groups, as big groups can occasionally get out of hand.
Order and structure are somewhat important to you—you believe that people’s feelings are better protected when others are respectful and follow certain societal guidelines.
You tend to share your feelings with a few individuals who are close with you, but otherwise you are a somewhat private person.
If you want to be different:
Let your caring nature allow you to put more trust in people in general—you can have more faith in them without losing your valuable skepticism.
