THE OATBIN STORIES

Hmmm...ini akan jadi bahasan yang sulit buat gue karena jujur aja sebagian besar nama dari daftar official Disney Princesses are really not my type. Sorry to say but for me some of those princesses are dumb. There, I said it. Gue suka princess yang bisa berdiri di kaki sendiri, mandiri dan berani untuk nyobain banyak hal di luar sana. Bukan seorang 14-tahun yang nyanyi soal true love. Like, what does a 14yo know about true love!? Freakin stoopid. Okay, okay. Gue bikin post ini bukan untuk ngejek beberapa nama. Lebih baik langsung aja kali ya bahas princess favorit gue sesuai dengan kriteria yang gue suka. Let's! Dari daftar Disney Official Princesses: Princess pertama yang gue suka dari daftar adalah  Merida from the movie Brave . Pas dia akhirnya dijadiin official Princess ke-11, gue seneng banget. Maaaan...akhirnya seorang Princess yang bentukannya gak kayak Princess. Hahaha. I mean look at her. Merida has a cool red messy hair that so bouncy and squishy. Udah gitu ke...

Sitting in the toilet, looking around, and all of a sudden my sight was fixed to the toilet paper. Now that I think about it, Indonesian isn't really a big user of toilet paper (in this post I only talk about what occurs in Indonesia. I dunno if it also occurs in other Asian countries). Well, we use it but not as often as Westerners (in this case, Americans). Okay, let me explain. In Indonesia, if we want to clean ourselves after doing the business in the toilet, we use water to clean ourselves. The toilet paper is being used for wiping the excess water so that our underwear won't be wet and we throw the toilet paper into the garbage can. While in the West, people are actually wiping the down-under part with the toilet paper itself and then throw the used toilet paper inside the toilet bowl to be flushed away. Since the Westerners use it a lot, so pretty much their life depends on the toilet paper. I still remember how frustrated I was when I ran out of toil...

Scrolling through Facebook and found a post about the newest movie based on the book that J.K Rowling wrote, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them , lead me to a page of Pottermore . Ah how I miss Pottermore. Been a while not checking the website, I was so surprised to see the website again. It's totally changed. Big time. No more interactive reading where you can also pick the House to be in, play some games, brew some potions, and even have a dueling for spells. Now, it's become more reading, like reading some article online, with no interactive activity at all. But still, it's still full of detail writing about a certain character or place or event. Speaking of character, in Pottermore you can find more detail about character that you've read (or seen) in the Harry Potter series. You will know the historical stories behind each character. And it got me thinking who is (or are) my favorite character(s) in Harry Potter. Hmmm...let's see... I always have a thi...

Sesuai janji gue, gue bakalan ngebahas setlist di post kali ini sekalian ngebahas gimana konser berjalan dan pendapat gue tentang masing-masing performance. Di konser kali ini gue gak megang henfon sama sekali. Well, cuma beberapa saat doang ketika ending dan ketika Seungri lagi berbuat bodoh di atas panggung karena gue pengen nunjukin ke temen gue yang biasnya adalah Seungri. Selebihnya gue mencoba untuk menikmati konsernya tanpa merekam dan mengambil foto sama sekali. Alhasil sekarang gue lupa urutan setlistnya. Hahahaha. Tapi gue akan mencoba mengingat2 kembali deh. Okay, let's start! Gue udah duduk anteng di tempat duduk gue dari jam 7:55 malam. Pas gue masuk, seperti biasa MV dari semua lagu-lagu BIGBANG sedang diputar untuk mengisi waktu sebelum konser dimulai. Akhirnya ketika Fantastic Baby diputar, volumenya terdengar jauh lebih besar. Sepertinya itu tandanya konser benar-benar akan dimulai. Tepat jam 8:15 malam, akhirnya konser resmi dimulai. Dibuka deng...

Beberapa hari yang lalu, gue berkesempatan untuk nonton konsernya BIGBANG di Las Vegas. Setelah 3 tahun lamanya semenjak terkahir kali nonton mereka di konser ALIVE , akhirnyaaa...gue bisa memuaskan hasrat fangirling gue. Hahaha. Las Vegas adalah kota pertama dari 4 kota di Amrik yang bakal didatengin BIGBANG untuk MADE tour ini. Sebagai penampilan di kota pertama di Amerika, gue sih gak kecewa setelah nonton. Gue puas. Bahagia lahir batin. Haha. Cerita dikit soal kenapa gue milih Las Vegas sebagai tujuan gue. Sebenernya gue bisa ke kota mana pun di Amrik buat nonton, toh semuanya gak jauh dari Orlando, tempat gue tinggal. Bahkan Newark, NJ jauh lebih deket dibanding gue harus ke Las Vegas, Anaheim atau LA. Pertama, adalah soal tanggal. Gue harus nyesuain tanggal libur kerja. Banyak temen-temen gue yang mau liburan juga ternyata bulan Oktober, jadi gue kebagian awal Oktober deh buat liburan. Tadinya gue udah yakin dan manteb mau milih Anaheim sebagai kota tujuan. Gue ...

Yo yo you, 'ssup?! *sok iye banget gue* Gue belom sempet bilang makasih buat kalian yang ternyata baca blog gue, terutama soal Cultural Representative Program ini, jadi sekarang gue mau bilang, "Makasih yaaa. Semoga emang bermanfaat." Btw, gak berasa udah tinggal 3 bulan lagi dan program gue akan berakhir. Lalu keberadaan gue pun akan digantikan oleh anak baru. Hiks hiks. Sedih jadinya. Belom siap untuk ninggalin Disney T_T Nah sebelum beneran selesai programnya, ada baiknya gue meng-update blog tentang CRP. Di post kali ini gue akan membahas kira-kira modal dasar apa yang diperlukan untuk menjadi seorang CRP.  Let's go! BAHASA INGGRIS Yup. Ini tuh kudu mesti hukumnya. Ya iya lah, kan kerjanya di negara yang jelas-jelas menggunakan Bahasa Inggris setiap detiknya, jadi kemampuan berbahasa Inggris itu penting banget. Gak mesti jago di tulisan, yang penting di lisan lancar. Ya, paling gak kemampuannya gak cuma yes yes or no no doang. Jangan juga li...

Working as a cast member in one of the biggest and famous theme parks in the world, I am allowed to see a lot of guests’ behavior during their visit to the park. One of the behaviors is what they bring and wear to the park. So in this post, I will give you my insight about what to bring and wear to make your visit to the park more comfortable. Let’s start! 1.    The most essential thing to bring along is definitely the TICKET . It’s obvious that you cannot enter the park without the ticket. You can buy the ticket in the ticket booth at the park entrance, but me personally, I prefer to buy the ticket in advance through online booking and print the ticket at home. Sometimes online booking gives you a good deal better than the ticket booth. Sometimes, it can give you a few dollars off, and it’s really worthy. Everyone knows that the price for the theme park ticket can go crazy. Having a few dollars off (I got $20 off by buying online) is definitely has to be done. 2. ...
