Menjelajah Eksotisme Korea

2011-08-28T21:33:00.003+09:00

Kemajuan Republik Korea memang terbilang cukup pesat. Slogan pariwisata bertajuk “Seoul, the Soul of Asia” nampaknya telah mampu menyapu perhatian dunia untuk menjelajahi negara dengan jumlah penduduk lebih dari 48 juta orang ini.

Semua kemajuan itu tentunya tidak luput dari perjuangan yang cukup panjang dan berat. Sejalan dengan proses industrialisasi pasca perang Korea, Seoul mengalami modernisasi di segala bidang. Bahkan di tahun 2002 lalu, Seoul kembali menjadi fokus dunia dengan menjadi tuan rumah World Cup 2002 setelah dua tahun sebelumnya berhasil menyelenggarakan Olimpiade Musim Panas 1998.

Tidak hanya itu, akhir-akhir ini wabah Korea dalam hal seni pun mulai merambah dunia. Hal itu terbukti dengan hadirnya boybad/girlband Korea yang berhasil menembus chart-chart internasional. Seiring dengan naiknya pamor K-Pop, industri drama/film Korea pun juga mengalami kemajuan.

Beberapa judul drama atau film, seperti Full House, Winter Sonata, dan Jewel In The Palace juga disukai banyak penonton mancanegara. Salah satu artis/penyanyi Korea, Rain, bahkan sudah merasakan gemerlapnya industri hiburan internasional melalui film Ninja Assasin.

Selain drama atau film, keindahan objek wisata yang ada di Seoul juga sangat menjanjikan untuk dikunjungi. Sederet nama objek wisata, seperti Nami Island, Jeju Do, dan Suwon Palace siap memuaskan hati pelancong dengan keindahannya.

Itu saja? Tentu tidak! Masih banyak keindahan Korea yang harus kamu ketahui. Perjalanan menuju Korea pun jangan sampai kamu lewatkan jika ingin menikmati langsung keeksotisan negara tersebut.

Begitu tiket dan persiapan menuju Korea telah siap, buku Jalan-Jalan Korea terbitan GagasMedia jangan sampai kamu lupakan! Buku yang ditulis oleh Andi F. Yahya & Andi Fauziah Yahya ini bisa menjadi guide bagi kamu yang ingin menjelajah Korea.

Sebagian informasi di atas, bisa kamu temukan di dalam buku tersebut. Tentunya, dengan informasi tambahan lain yang sangat berguna begitu kamu sampai di sana. Mulai dari detail harga pesawat dan penginapan, informasi transportasi berikut jalur menuju banyak objek wisata, bermacam pilihan kuliner, spot-spot shopping yang wajib dikunjungi, perkiraan anggaran biaya selama 5 hari berada di Korea, hingga tip seru liburan di Korea bisa kamu baca di dalam buku ini.

So, tertarik untuk menjelajah the Soul of Asia? Buku ini siap mengantarmu ke sana! Saranghae Korea!

100kata goes to bookstore

2009-10-31T16:48:00.002+09:00

Cerita-cerita dalam buku ini ditulis dalam 100 kata persis, tak lebih dan tak kurang. Sebuah eksperimentasi sastra yang menarik dan mengasyikkan buat dibaca!

Kalau buku ini sebuah pertunjukan, sudah dipastikan saya berdiri dan memberikan tepuk tangan paling keras.
Ninit Yunita - Penulis

Keringkasan cerita-cerita "minikata" dalam buku ini tampaknya telah menjadi bagian dari era SMS, friendster, dan facebook. Pertaruhan para pengarangnya mengupayakan tidak ada kulit dalam tubuh cerita. Semuanya isi, semuanya substansi, yang lantas disudahi dengan pelbagai modus surprise ending yang jitu, tajam, dan mencengangkan...
Damhuri Muhammad - Sastrawan

Hanya 1 kata untuk 100 kata: kreatif. Membuat saya terheran-heran, bagaimana orang bisa bercerita hanya dengan 100 kata? (eh, ini udah berapa kata sih? 13 ya?)

Scars and Souvenirs

2007-03-27T06:47:00.000+09:00

What's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should've healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again.

A Day of Romance

2006-11-11T11:11:00.000+09:00

Today is Pepero Day, a day of romance in Korea, while in most countries of the world, November 11th is a day of remembrance (since it signaled the end of World War I).

Pepero day is a unofficial holiday in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day or Sweetest Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero.

According to the story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Pusan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero" (Pepero means "thin like a stick"). However, it is more likely it was initiated by Lotte, the company which produces Pepero.

Nowadays, this holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts.

Malam mulai turun. Angin musim gugur bertiup membawa dingin menusuk tulang. Kusandarkan badan sambil menekuk kaki mencoba tetap hangat. Hanya sunyi diselingi tarikan nafas di antara kami.
"Kamu pernah marah sama Tuhan?" tanyanya tiba-tiba.
Aku terdiam. Kuhisap dalam-dalam rokok yang tersisa setengah di sela jariku.
"......" Ia menunggu.
"Dulu... sekali."
"Kenapa?"
"Karena Dia tidak pernah adil... karena hanya penderitaan yang selalu diberikan. Beberapa tahun aku menjauh... melupakan-Nya."
Kesunyian kembali hadir.
"Kamu percaya takdir?"
"Entahlah..."
"Kamu percaya kalau kita bertemu karena takdir-Nya?"
Kutatap matanya yang bersinar di kegelapan dan merengkuhnya dalam pelukku.
"Aku hanya percaya, kamu... bahagia yang selama ini kunanti..."

Mereka berempat menjalin persahabatan saat memasuki perguruan tinggi di Bandung. Sekarang mereka semua tinggal dan bekerja di Jakarta. Persahabatan itu masih terus terjaga hingga sekarang. Setiap hari Minggu, mereka masih berkumpul. Apalagi yang bukan khas cewek. Obrolan tentang laki-laki dengan segala sudutnya. Hobi berbelanja dan ngopi.

Cerita ini hanya fiksi. Cerita ini tidak hanya untuk para perempuan. Cerita yang ada layaknya seperti sebuah kamar. Kamar Cewek, cowok boleh ngintip.

Salahkah melepasnya jika ia meminta untuk pergi? Atau, haruskah memintanya untuk tetap tinggal meski itu akan membuatnya tersiksa?

Tanya itu masih terus memberati pikiranku sesaat setelah ia pergi. Mestinya aku bisa memintanya untuk tetap tinggal, tapi entah kenapa aku lebih memilih untuk melepasnya. Meski bukan keputusan yang terbaik buatku, kuharap yang terbaik buat dia. Berat memang, terlebih karena aku masih mencintainya...sangat. Kutarik napas dalam, mencoba menyemangati diri, dan melangkah pergi.

[Sis, 'pacaran' sebenarnya bukan membuat dia seperti apa yang kita mau... tapi berusaha mengerti dan menerima dia apa adanya. Bukan begitu? :)]

POHON

2006-03-06T17:18:00.000+09:00

Kujatuhkan tubuhku perlahan di bangku taman ini, tempat yang selalu kukunjungi melewati hari. Semilir angin mengantar anganku melayang jauh. Tak lagi kuperduli pada sisa hujan awal musim semi yang masih jatuh satu satu. Menatap lurus pokok pohon di depanku, yang tegak kokoh meski tanpa daun. Pohon itu...... pohon itu tetap tegar meski musim telah merenggut dedaunnya. Mungkin karena ia tahu perpisahan itu hanya sementara... hingga saat mereka dipertemukan kembali.

Aku rapuh... sejak rasa itu terenggut dari hatiku dan kau bawa pergi bersamamu. Meski aku yakin nasib takkan mempertemukan kita lagi dan rasa itu takkan pernah kan kembali... aku ingin setegar pohon itu...

MENUNGGU

2006-03-02T09:56:00.000+09:00

Salju masih turun dengan derasnya, seperti serpihan kapas diterbangkan angin. Melayang ringan, luruh dan memutihkan pelataran di hadapanku dalam sekejap. Kurapatkan mantelku sambil memandang kejauhan sesekali. Tiga puluh menit telah berlalu, aku masih di sini. Menunggu... dan menunggu seperti hari kemarin.

perlukah cinta dipertanyakan
ketika ia hadir di hadapanmu
masihkah kau berusaha mengingkari
tak bisakah hanya diam dan merasakan
karena bukankah cinta bicara dengan sejuta makna
meski tanpa kata-kata...

Abadilah Cinta - Andrei Aksana

[Bagi beberapa orang, ada beberapa hal yang sulit diungkapkan dengan bahasa verbal, baik kepada orang-orang di sekitarnya maupun kepada orang terdekatnya sekalipun, salah satunya adalah 'perasaan'. Mereka beranggapan, 'perasaan' tidak untuk diucapkan dengan kata-kata, tapi ditunjukkan dengan sikap dan perbuatan.
Saya mungkin termasuk beberapa gelintir orang ini. Menyukai dan mencintai seseorang dalam diam, memberinya perhatian lebih... dan saya merasa nyaman dengan semua itu. Sampai beberapa hari yang lalu, ketika orang terdekat saya tiba-tiba meminta bukti kalau saya benar-benar mencintai dia. Terus terang, saya mati kutu...]

Orang-orang yang tak ingin kutemui...

......

Entahlah...
Tak kupungkiri...
Ada satu sisi hati yang masih merindukan saat-saat itu...
Meski pahit...

Soekarno-Hatta: 2006 02 04

[Kadang, 'melarikan diri' adalah solusi terbaik dari banyak persoalan yang datang bersamaan. Ternyata salah, mungkin saat itu saya 'bebas', tapi di saat lain saya harus kembali berhadapan dengan persoalan-persoalan yang sama, orang-orang yang sama, dan...dengan kadar yang lebih berat. Sudahlah, mungkin sudah saatnya untuk mencoba 'menahan diri'... ]

Taurus Man

2006-01-23T14:36:00.000+09:00

A quiet-simple man who can do unexpected things to shock you. Taurus man are mostly medium tall, strong with good health, good strong body. When he talks, he likes to turn his head to one side on one direction. His body will be quite straight, facial structure tends to be square shape more than other shape. His eyes sparkle with liveliness.

Even when he is in love, he is still a free wild bird. He is sand in your palm, the more you want to hold it, and it will slip out. If you stand and hold it still, it will stay that way. Don't set the rules and draw a line for him, he will not stay.

When you are with him, he will think only of you. But an hour later he could change his mind. He is very patient with other people, but very impatient with himself. His world always turning and it will not stop just because he loves you. If he up sets, he will show it right away. If something has gone wrong, he will blame his own carelessness instead of blaming other people.

He sincere to his friends even to some friends he does not like. He likes to do odd things and surprise other people. He could be fully dress in a nice suit and jump in the pool. He could slap your back so hard just to make you turn around to see he has flowers in his hand. He never wants to get too close with anyone for he thinks living in reality is living by you.

He does not care what people think when he behaves weird. He could be walking bare feet and laughing at people who laugh at him and think they are so narrow minded. He does not likes to follow conformity, but always want to search for new ventures, new mystery. He will interest in a life of a millionaire as much as a life of an old man selling newspaper on a sidewalk vendor.

He likes to search and analyze people and things. He will analyze his friends or his girl friend, and once the mystery is gone, he will search for new puzzle to solve. He cannot easily understand thing, so he will gradually learning about you till he fills up all his questions.

He knows so many people, but he has a few friends. He looks for quality friends than quantity friends. He will be close with some friends shortly and move on. He always feel lonely even surround by many people. He could create his own little world, and sometimes no one would understand him. He looks only for future and he thinks he lives for the future. He may wonder how many people think like he does, but he does not want to be like the others.

Man with a conflict personality. He is a cool, understanding, able to work well, and very artistic. He is a free spirit who likes venture, but when he wants to be alone, do not touch him but to let him be. He will not disappear from the crowds for too long, he will be back.

He will give you straightforward opinion or comments, but will never advice what he thinks you should do. He does not like people to tell him what he should do too. He thinks each individual dreams and thoughts should be very private. He will use his brain not his body strength, so he will let other guys compete. He has a certain satisfactory in life and hates to force himself in competition. He may seem careless, but actually he is a thinker and a stubborn one.

He sees any things in details and not easily trusted people till he thinks he knows them well. You can just smile and he will think why and what are you smiling about, and if you are pretending. Once he trusts you and accept you as a friend, no one can say other wise to change that for he will not listen to gossip. He will be honest and sincere to his friends.

He hates lies, so he will not tell you lies. If he finds it is necessary to lie, he will find other ways not to tell you or avoid telling you anything. If he really has to lie, you will never be able to tell that he is lying. He can really keep secrets, so you will hardly know that he is a lonely soul.

If you want this kind of guy, you have to be an interesting person. He has to be curious about you. Hell for him is "No Freedom", so if he marries you then you should know it is the biggest decision in his life. Always be interesting, and then you could have him beside you.

[Yes, it will be the biggest decision. I just wonder, is there any person that could always be interesting out there......?]

The Truth

2005-12-25T20:59:00.000+09:00

"Even if I die, it will be in my lab."
Dec. 10, 2005 - Hwang Woo-suk

Everyone was shocked when the schools's review panel announced the investigation result of Hwang Woo-suk's stem cell study. His research team has fabricated the data for an article he submitted to Science on customized stem cell cloning. From scientists to politicians and hundreds of women who had pledged to donate their eggs for research, emotions ranged from disbelief to disappointment and even anger. More investigation result will come out early of this week.

Hopefully, the DNA fingerprint test could confirm the two existing stem cell lines. If not, it's still a long way for providing cures for various ailments such as spinal cord injuries, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Ninit's Test Pack

2005-09-13T13:11:00.000+09:00

"Saya memang suka membaca novel. Tetapi jenis suspense, thriller, atau bahkan sihir. Maka di rak buku saya ada buku-buku karangan Sidney Sheldon dan John Grisham, dan buku-buku "Harry Potter", "Da Vinci Code" dan yang sejenisnya. Yang jelas bukan jenis roman atau percintaan, walaupun sebagai psikolog saya sering juga menangani kasus-kasus roman percintaan ala Sam Pek Eng Tay atau Roro Mendut dan Pronocitro.

Tetapi bukunya Ninit lain. Bukan karena Kakang, suaminya Tata dalam novel ini, digambarkan sebagai psikolog juga, seperti saya, tetapi lebih karena cara bertutur Ninit yang santai dan gaul, dengan di sana-sini diselipkan kalimat- kalimat kocak yang mampu memaksa senyum. Dialog-dialog yang merupakan campuran Inggris-Indonesia-Sunda juga dijalin secara pas, tidak sok tahu, karena memang dimaksudkan untuk menggambarkan orang-orang dari kelas sosial-ekonomi dan lingkungan budaya metropolitan tertentu. Tata digambarkan suka belanja di mal bersama temannya, dan naik taksi ke rumah mereka yang di ujung dunia. Ini pun dengan pas menggambarkan keluarga muda Jakarta yang secara sosial-ekonomi baru bergerak bangkit.

Terus tentang kucing yang hamil itu. Ninit sukses sekali menggambarkan kecemburuan Tata pada Onde, si kucing, "Maksudnya apa sih si Onde hamil? Mau bikin saya tambah minder?", omel Tata yang 7 tahun sudah menantikan kehamilannya sendiri tanpa hasil.

Di sisi lain, menjelang akhir dari novelnya, melalui Tata yang belajar dari kasus-kasus cerai para kliennya, Ninit berhasil membawa pembaca kepada nilai moral bahwa cinta bisa diprioritaskan di atas segala hal lainnya. Mungkin kedengaran utopis.
Tetapi psikolog Rahmat Natadiningrat berhasil membuktikannya."
SARLITO WIRAWAN SARWONO -
Psikolog

"Membaca novel ini saya jadi teringat saat pertama kali menunggu hasil test pack. Jantung berdebar-debar, antara penasaran, takut, dan cemas. Bayangkan, cuma ada dua pilihan hasil: positif atau negatif. Demikian juga dalam proses membaca novel ini, segala perasaan bercampur aduk, namun bedanya, apapun yang saya rasakan hasil akhirnya selalu positif. This is a positive novel!!! Dari segi penulisan, dari segi makna, dari segi perempuan. Ninit is definitely positive!"
FIRA BASUKI -
Penulis

Gua pikir TEST PACK cuma barang yang kasih tanda positif-negatif hamil seorang perempuan. Tapi lewat kejeniusan Ninit, TEST PACK memperlihatkan esensi cinta, perkawinan, rumah tangga dan eksistensi anak-anak dalam keluarga.
Buat gua, novel ini penting!

"Pertama: Sialan, kenapa gue baca novel ini menjelang gue mau nikah sih? Bikin deg-degan aja! Periksa dari sekarang atau...
Kedua: Novel ini, in a strange funny way, full of hopes. Harapan ketika komitmen sudah dengan mudah terbuang di meja press conference atau pinggir jalan. Tuturannya begitu lancar dan enak. Ninit adalah pencerita yang melenakan.
Ketiga: Kalo ini mau jadi film, lo tau nomer sama email gue kan?
[nb: buat terusan kalimat pertama gue, periksa dari sekarang atau... stay with the commitment. I take the last one. thanks Nit.]"
SALMAN ARISTO -
Jurnalis & Penulis Skenario

"Unfinished questions. Mulanya ditanya, kapan punya pacar. Dan kalo udah punya, kapan kawin. Dan kalo udah kawin, kapan punya momongan. Dan kalo udah punya satu, kapan dia dikasi adik. Dan kalo mereka udah gede, kapan mau punya mantu. Dan kalo mereka udah married, kapan mau punya cucu. Lingkaran setan. Yang salah satunya dipotret Ninit Yunita. Saya suka cara dia mengambil sudut. Bahkan saya yang sudah punya satu anak pun terhantui pertanyaan-pertanyaan laknat itu. Ini baru dari luar. Gimana dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan di dalam? Mungkin salah satu cara menuntaskannya adalah dengan satu ungkapan yang dia bikin di buku ini. Bahwa childless is not the end of the world!
Jangan kawin dulu sebelum baca buku ini."
HAGI HAGOROMO -
Editor In Chief Trax Magazine

"Patut di baca oleh semua pasangan, baik yang telah menikah ataupun yang akan menikah. Cerita yang dapat memberikan insight tentang cinta dan kasih sayang. Love is about commitment, love is about understanding. When we decide to marry someone and it is about decision making, after that is about managing."
HENRY VIENAYOKO -
Radio Circle Indonesia

"TEST PACK tuh metro pop banget, kota banget, daily life banget, karier banget, orang muda dewasa abis! Apalagi dengan suguhan kocak yang ditawarkan. Psikologis tokoh yang dibangun sangat kena, sangat terasa. Plus..(this is my fav. part) ada moral of the story-nya."

I've been waiting
since you gave me that bread
that goes straight to my heart
from the first bite.

You...
You took my heart with you
but the wind blows
fast and careless
of the fate that took my love
and left it in this body
with me.

And you?
Where are you?

Bila Merdeka Berakhir?

lima puluh sembilan kali
diperingati kemerdekaan ini
tak sekedar mengenang pejuang negri
tapi bagaimana membahasakan terima kasih ini

lima puluh sembilan kali
diperingati kemerdekaan ini
bukan akhir dari perjuangan ini
melainkan perjuangan yang terus membarakan api

lima puluh sembilan kali
diperingati kemerdekaan ini
bukan sekedar menegakkan demokrasi
sudahkah harkat dan martabatnya bangsa terobati

lima puluh sembilan kali
diperingati kemerdekaan ini
bukan hanya memanjakan gelintir elite bangsa ini
sudahkah segenap rakyat Indonesia menikmati

lima puluh sembilan kali
diperingati kemerdekaan ini
bukan semata-mata melambaikan merah putih nan suci
tapi membangkitkan kesadaran hati nurani

lima puluh sembilan kali
diperingati kemerdekaan ini
semoga peringatan kali ini
menjadi merdeka sejati!!!

Orang sering sulit dimengerti, tidak berpikir panjang dan hanya memikirkan diri sendiri, namun demikian...maafkanlah mereka!

Bila engkau berbaik hati, orang mungkin menuduhmu egois, namun demikian...tetaplah berbuat kebaikan!

Bila engkau sukses, akan menemui teman-teman yang tidak bersahabat dan musuh-musuh sejatimu, namun demikian...teruskan kesuksesanmu!

Bila engkau jujur dan tulus hati, orang mungkin akan menipumu, namun demikian...tetaplah jujur dan tulus hati!

Hasil karyamu selama bertahun-tahun dapat dihancurkan orang dalam semalam, namun demikian...tetaplah berkarya!

Berikan yang terbaik darimu dan itupun tidak pernah memuaskan orang, namun demikian...tetaplah memberi yang terbaik!

Pada akhirnya...
Perkaranya adalah antara engkau dan Tuhan...
Dan bukan antara engkau dengan mereka...!

"응?"

"난, 못생겼고, 키도 작고, 돈도 없고, 학벌도 없고, 성격도 이상해."

"응. 알고 있어."

"그리고 장손에다가, 바람끼도 있고, 의처증도 있어."

"응. 다 알고 있지."

"음...... 말주변도 없고, 소극적인데다가 소심하기까지 하잖아."

"응. 그런데?"

"그런데라니. 근데 날 왜 좋아해?"

"그건말이지. 너니까."

"에이~ 그런게 어딨어."

"니가 잘생기고, 키도 크고, 돈도 많고, 학벌 좋고, 성격 원만하고, 막내 아들에다가 한 여자만 알고, 의심도 안하는데다가, 말도 잘하고, 적극적이고 활달한 성격이라면, 니가 왜 날 만나겠니?"

"음."

"사랑이란 그런거야. 완벽한 남자와 완벽한 여자가 만나서 이루어가는게 아니라, 부족하고 없는 사람들이 만나서 서로를 채워주는거라구."

"그럼 넌 내가 부족해서 좋은거구나?"

"그래. 하지만 잘 봐. 그대신에 너는 발가락이 이쁘고, 목소리가 좋고, 무거운거 잘 들고, 라면도 잘 끓이고, 글씨도 시원시원하고, 이빨도 고르게 났고, 테니스도 잘 치잖아. 또 말해볼까? 버스 번호도 잘 외우고, 오래 잘 걸어다니고, 편식 안하고, 공포영화도 씩씩하게 잘 보고, 절약도 잘하고, 노래도 잘 부르잖아. 그리고 또......"
