Petualangan di Kebun Raya Bogor

Jumat lalu (29.11.2013) karna dosen matakuliah kedua tidak masuk, tiba-tiba temen-temen cewe sekelas mengajak admin untuk pergi jalan-jalan ke Kebun Raya Bogor. Sebenernya sih, udah ada rencana jalan-jalan kesana sebelumnya, tapi selalu dibatalkan karna ada urusan lain dan waktu yang tidak tepat. Kali ini, dengan ide, paksaan dari wulan, uang, bekal, informasi dan tenaga seadanya admin pun ikut ke petualangan kali ini. Mengingat admin belum pernah jalan-jalan ke tempat seperti itu bareng temen-temen kuliah, yaa..admin ikut deh ^ ^ Oh iya! Ini pertama kalinya admin naik Kereta Comuter Line loh.. *norak*

 

Ini tiket Comuter Line untuk sekali jalan

(sejak tahun ini, sudah berubah dalam bentuk card)

Harga untuk jaminan tiketnya Rp.5.000 dan tiketnya sendiri Cuma Rp.2.500 loh untuk sekali perjalanan. ^ ^ Sebenarnya ada juga tiket buat yang langganan naik kereta, aku bilangnya sih card member hehe. Temen-temenku rata-rata naik kereta soalnya, kalau tidak salah warna cardnya hitam dan ada chipnya. Siang itu cuaca depok sangat cerah dan kita pun take off dari stasiun Pondok cina ke stasiun Bogor, sebelum sampe stasiun bogor kita pindah kereta sekali loh.. *lupa di stasiun apa, tapi yang admin inget di stasiun terakhir di depok*

Di dalam kereta kita ngobrol-ngobrol soal ini itu sampe akhirnya di stasiun tujuan!! Sampai disana, admin beserta yang lain (wulan, harti, nurma) mengisi kembali tiket yang tadi sudah dipakai untuk perjalanan pulang nanti (harganya Cuma Rp.2.500).

Selesai itu kita naik angkot yang menuju Kebun Raya Bogor~ Dengan tarif Rp.2.500 /orang kami pun meluncur dari stasiun sampai ke depan kebun Raya Bogor (karna terlalu panjang admin singkat jadi KBR saja yaa). Sampai disana, otomatis kita langsung foto-foto di depan KBR ^^ Masuk ke KBR kita membeli tiket masuk seharga Rp.14.000, meski agak kaget dengan harga tersebut kami pun tetap membelinya.

Jalanan agak sedikit menurun dan ternyata kami menemukan danau yang cukup besar, airnya sangat hijau (mungkin karna lumut atau ganggang hijau). Karna kita tidak memakai pemandu jadi kami keliling sebentar dekat danau (bisa dibilang sedikit nyasar). Kami bertemu dengan beberapa turis asing loh disana.. ^^

Danau dan salah satu pohon besar yang ada di tepi danau

Waktu makan siang pun tiba dan kami segera mencari tempat untuk makan siang. Bekal yang kami beli di kampus pun kami makan bersama-sama di pinggir danau.  Saat makan siang, terlihat awan mendung di atas danau. Tak jauh dari danau ada gedung putih, admin kurang tau itu termasuk salah satu bagian dari Istana Negara atau bukan tapi gedung tersebut cukup besar.

Tujuan berikutnya mencari jembatan gantung yang ada di KBR. Tapi karna satu dua hal kami malah mampir ke Museum Zoologi. Di museum ini terdapat binatang-binatang (hewan) yang diawetkan, ada juga fosil tulang dari Phitecantropus Erectus (manusia purba) dan lain-lain.

 

Burung yang biasa ada di pantai

*admin lupa namanya*

 

Tulang dari Blue whale (Paus Biru) yang memiliki berat 160 ton (?)

*admin kurang tau ini replika atau bukan*

Admin baru tau jika paus biru tidak memiliki gigi, tapi paus biru memiliki alat penyaring di dalam mulutnya yang disebut Balen

Selesai dari situ admin mengusulkan untuk segera ke jembatan gantung karna sudah mulai gerimis. Dan untuk ke-sekian-kalinya kami bertanya pada petugas yang ada di sekitar KBR dimana lokasi dari Jembatan gantung tersebut. Ternyata dari pintu masuk kita hanya tinggal lurus dan jalan menurun mengikuti aliran sungai yang cukup besar. Langit semakin gelap dan tak lama kami sampai di jembatan tersebut tiba-tiba hujan turun!? Padahal admin belum sempat mengambil banyak gambar disana..

Karna takut hujan turun semakin lebat maka kami bergegas untuk pulang meski sempat beristirahat di tengah jalan karna jalanan yang menanjak. Saat istirahat, ada sekumpulan deretan mobil ABRI yang lewat dan salah satu dari kami ada yang bersorak dan disambut dengan hangat oleh ABRI-ABRI tersebut hahaha!

Keluar dari KBR kami mencari angkot untuk menuju ke stasiun dan dengan tariff yang sama (Rp.2.500) kami menuju stasiun. Di dalam angkot kami sangat ramai, bahkan kami berbincang-bincang dengan santai bertanya ini itu pada pak sopir. ^ ^

Di perjalanan menuju stasiun kami melihat pemandangan yang bagus, gunung Salak menjadi background yang sangat bagus dengan hiasan awan-awan putih di sekitarnya. *halah jadi puitis begini* Sampai di stasiun kami langsung naik kereta tujuan ke Jakarta (lewat pocin). Di seberang bangku admin duduk seorang pria bule yang sudah cukup berumur dan karna kelelahan beberapa dari kami pun tertidur dalam kereta. ^^;

Suasana pulang di dalam kereta

Sampai di stasiun Pondok Cina, depok admin pun berpisah dengan yang lain (ratih, nurma, wiwi, mira, ebeth). Hujan dan petir menyambut kami (admin, ulan, harti, galuh), petirnya bukan seperti petir pada umumnya. *serem* Sebelum pulang, admin dan ulan print Laporan Akhir untuk Labsi keesokan harinya sementara harti dan galuh menunggu di depan tempat print dan fotocopy tersebut. Oh iya, keluar dari stasiun kami mengembalikan kembali Comuter Line Card berwarna putih tadi ke tempat pengembalian dan uang jaminan kembali (Rp.5.000).

Hujan mulai turun lagi dan admin pun memutuskan untuk memakai jas hujan di motor. Keluar dari parkiran motor Kampus D kami pun berpisah dan kembali ke rumah masing-masing dengan cara masing-masing selamat sampai rumah..

Sekian petualangan admin bersama teman kelas. Sampai ketemu di cerita admin berikutnya. Admin deshita~ (^0^) /

Future Shopping Card

Kartu kredit bukanlah hal baru lagi, terutama bagi para pecinta berbelanja. Kartu yang simple, efisien dan mudah dibawa kemana saja tanpa memakan banyak tempat ini akan menjadi benda penting bagi anda.

Dynamic Credit Card ini adalah kartu yang dapat dengan mudah memberikan informasi siapa pemilik kartu ini dan keamanan kartu ini dapat diatur oleh pemiliknya langsung.

Dengan menekan Huruf E, D, C,B, A  secara urut maka akan muncul nomor unik kartu anda dan tak lama nomor tersebut akan hilang, itu akan mempersulit para hacker credit card. Keamanan kartu ini dapat diatur langsung oleh pemiliknya dengan mudah. Dengan begitu jika kartu ini hilang atau berpindah tangan maka pemilik kartu bisa dengan mudah me-nonaktif-kan kartu yang hilang tersebut.

Sedangkan smart card pada video di atas ini, didukung dengan shopping cart yang berguna untuk membaca si kartu (pembeli/pemilik kartu). Siapa pemilik kartu (pembeli), apa saja yang dibeli dan biaya yang dikeluarkan sudah dihitung langsung ketika pembeli memasukkan barang yang ingin dibeli pada shopping cart tersebut. Jadi, ketika pembeli berada di kasir hanya mendapatkan struk pembelian sebagain bukti pembelian dan melakukan pembayaran tanpa mengantre terlalu lama.

Future Shop Card tersebut menyimpan data (nominal) dan informasi pemilik yang telah disimpan dan dimasukkan ke dalam chip kartu itu sebelumnya.

Jadi, admin dapat menyimpulkan dan membuat arsitektur umum dari beberapa video future shopping card di atas sebagai berikut :

Report : Arashi Making of P.A.R.A.D.O.X

This is continuation of Arashi’s discussion, this part 2 was posted at Johnnys-web in the same day they post “LOVE Message”.

You can read part 1 here >> ♥LOVE ★Message♥

‘P.A.R.A.D.O.X’

A report on the filming of the video clip

We bring you a report on the filming of the video clip for the song ‘P.A.R.A.D.O.X’, which is one of the tracks on ARASHI’s new album, ‘LOVE’.

The album is filled with “LOVE” in it’s many forms… and ‘P.A.R.A.D.O.X’ is a sexy funk number which fills the air with “mature LOVE”. The video clip is full of dances that showcase “Sexy ARASHI’s” appeal!

The filming started in front of a giant wall that had been installed in the studio. The members were all dressed in chic black jackets, which contrasted with the deep red wall background as their photos were taken.

Ninomiya was up first. They started by filming his mouth as he lip-synced to the song.

Ninomiya entered the set looking up at the carved wall, and slowly ran his hand along the wall as he walked along singing. As the jaunty melody build up, he bobbed his shoulders up and down in time to percussive rhythm.

Next up was Ohno, who came on the set full of energy and his bangs pushed back! The giant red wall seemed to have raised his spirits, as he appeared full of positive intent. When the camera started rolling, he swayed his body left and right in time with the rhythm and raised his knees high, enchanting everyone with his profound movements. Meanwhile, in the close-up shots, Ohno gave a mysterious look, which conveyed a mature feel.

Aiba was the one who showed us the most dynamic moves.

Before the filiming started, he was doing image training. He kicked his legs up high, and stretched his flexible arms out far, getting ready for his take.he gave a powerful and lively performance as he slammed into the wall and leaned on it, while throwing quick, sharp looks at the camera and throwing punches.

Next up was Matsumoto! As he entered the set, he seemed to be concentrating as he circled his neck upwards and closed his eyes as if he was deep in contemplation. “Music please, one time” he asked, as he carefully checked his moves in the camera rehearsal. In his take, he embodied the sexy funk feel of this piece, not only with flirtatious moves, but also with his provocative looks towards the camera.

Sakurai shook both his hands vigorously, tapped his heels, and sang rhythmically as he powerfully hammered home the count. In therap scene, he also took on a different style, dancing with his hands in his pockets as if to suppress his movements, and singing powerfully as he clenched his fists.

After the solo shots, there were group scenes with all five members together. As they waited on standby in front of the blackout curtain, Ninomiya said to Ohno, “You’re all black, Ohno-san”. He was joking that his skin tan blended in perfectly with his black outfit (LOL). Ohno laughed as this, touching his cheek and saying,”Seriously…(LOL)?”

They were joking around like this as they lined up in front of the red wall. Even on the set, they were practicing the steps they were having trouble with. They matched up their starting positions as the focused on their preparation.

And after rehearsing their dance again and again, it was for the filming to start.

First was the opening scene. I the part where Ohno shouts out in a high pitch, he looked happy as he sang with his hands up in the air. When they called cut, the other four burst out laughing and gave him a round of applause! Ninomiya did an impression of Ohno. “I knew he’d hold his hands up!” (Aiba”. Ohno looked delighted at their reaction.

Next was the image shots with their faces together.

They all huddled together with Ninomiya and Ohno in one team, and Aiba, Matsumoto, and Sakurai in the other, as they shot looks at the camera.

They were standing so close that they could hear each other whisper, and Ninomiya and Ohno were giggling as Aiba, Matsumoto, and Sakurai chatted lightlheartedly and excitedly right up to the take. But as soon as the take started, they instantly focused and gave sharp looks. They were able to turn their focus on and off at a flick of a switch for the filming.

And then it was finally time to film the main dance scene!

While they were waiting for the cameras and lighting to be set up, the members checked the choreography on the video and carefully matched their movements. They seemed to be even more dedicated than usual, as they should have been!

Because, as a matter of fact, the choreography for ‘P.A.R.A.D.O.X’ was done by foreign choreographer, and they had gone all the way to NY to be taught the dance directly, so it was a number that they had strong emotional attachment to.

With the preparations complete, the five members entered the stage all together wearing hats, and right away, they danced and danced and danced! Fiercely moving left and right, and vowing everyone with their steps all in perfect unison, the members ran through the rehearsals and the filming.

Even when a cut was called, ARASHI soon started practicing the next dance part that was going to be filmed.

Matsumoto posed with his jacket half oss and asked,”Like this?” while Ohno checked the same steps. As the two of them faced each other and danced vigorously like they were in musical dance battle (!?) Sakurai watched the scene with a smile on his face, saying “Wow!”

They went over the steps they were having trouble with over and over, as the five of them got more and more precise. Ninomiya and Matsumoto practiced putting their hands on their hats and looking up in sync, while Ohno and Aiba practiced lining up together. Sakurai and Matsumoto was also seen matching up their steps to the music in a scene where they synchronized only their feet.

In the part where they threw their hats in the air while dancing, they all checked their timing as Sakurai sang a capella. They were scrupulous in their preparations.

After they’d checked all their points, the seemed to relax a bit. In one scene, Sakurai crossed his arms and asked “This is where we cross our arms, right?” and Ohno reacted by showing off the type of pose a children’s action hero might do before transforming (LOL).

However, when the cameras started rolling, the cozy atmosphere changed instantly!

ARASHI danced again and again, mesmerizing us with intense, vigorous steps, casually kicking their legs up high, and displaying great flexibility to their very the can era!

After checking the video preview and the camera work, it was now time for the real thing!

As they were filming the sharp dance moves, there was also a moment when someone turned too quickly and their hat flew off. “Sorry! Can we doa that again?!” Sakurai said himself, as they did another take.

They showed us an even more polished dance, and when cut was called they took off their jackets and tried to deal with their sweat. After drinking something and cooling down, they were soon back to  checking their dance.

As Ninomiya practiced a step where he made a big sounds with his feet, the other four just naturally started dancing to that count. “Which way is it from?” (Matsumoto), “The first turn is to the right” (Ninomiya) “Right, left, right, left?” (Matsumoto)… The members went over the dance in minute detail together.

Next, they checked the opening, where they lined up front-to-back and danced. “Do I come in here? (Aiba), “A little more here…” (Sakurai) They chatted as they clicked their fingers, and danced, danced, danced!!

However, they couldn’t quite match up their timing. Ninomiya moaned, “Man, we’re never going to get this (LOL)”. But that worry soon disappeared. When it came to the real take, their timing was in perfect unison. They got through the dance without a problem and got the “OK, sut” signal.

Finally, I can write this translations…sorry for the late timing. I only typing this talk from pictures that zahira-san shared on her tumblr. All of you must had seen their performance on Music Station isn’t it? The different with video clip was at MS, Nino touch his butt with his right hand, did you realized that Sho-kun did wrong choreo (or is that only me who saw that his moves different from PV(?)) and Ohno staring at the camera in the end of their performance and he didn’t make X pose for ‘P.A.R.A.D.O.X’ in choreo. (LOL)

Have a good day everyone! Admin deshita~! \ (^0^) /
