I Think This Is Not The Right Time...

Saya rasa hari ini adalah salah satu moment dimana saya baru saja merasakan sedih sekaligus galau yang luar biasa.....ihiksssssss...
Isenk-isenk yang pada akhirnya berbuntut kepanikan terjadi pada hari ini yaitu dengan MENOLAK tawaran untuk menjadi salah 1 partisipan dalam kontes Touch Korea Tour - Chungcheong yang baru saja saya ikuti beberapa hari yang lalu! (dengan postingan yang disini).

Oke, I'll give some review today....
14 Agustus 2012 sebetulnya adalah hari pengumuman untuk para pemenang dari kontes Touch Korea Tour - Chungcheong. dibilang ngarep mujur ngga juga...tapi dibilang gak ngarep pengen juga. halah bingung. tapi dari saya mulai bangun tidur sebetulnya udah rada nervous aja duh kira2 nanti diumuminnya kapan yaa...trus via apa yah...via imel atau gimana ya?
sampe akhirnya tadi pagi skitar jam 10.30 WIB pertanyaan itu terjawab semuanya. pas di jam ituh henpon saya berdering! begitu diliat darimana...ohmaigat...its from SEOUL! nomernya udah pasti nomer asing tapi dibawahnya langsung ada keterangan SEOUL bok! whoaaaa is it real?? aduh jangan-jangan......

Pas diangkat...suara cewek...she said her name is Yuri *or sounds like that-lah pokoknya* and she said she's from Buzz Korea (dalam hati udah mulai dag dig dug gak keruan, maklum ga pernah seumur2 dapet telpon beginian >_<). trus awalnya dia tanya dulu apakah benar ini dengan Reninta sendiri  *dengan nyebutin nama panjang saya*...apakah benar kmarin ikut kontes Touch Korea Tour Chungcheong dan blaa-blaa-blaa. abis memastikan ID dan itu semua lalu dia nanya apakah saya bisa datang ke Korea tgl 20 Agustus atau tidak???
Ohmaigaaaaaat....sumpah asli kaget, dan tiba2 badan saat itu jadi dinginnnnnn gak keruan!
saya memang belum bisa dibilang sebagai salah 1 pemenang dari kontes ituh....tapi hanya dengan pertanyaan seperti itu yang langsung dari Buzz Korea - Seoul cukup membuat saya syok, kedua tangan ini bener2 jadi bekuuuu dan kuku jadi membiruuu karna ga tau musti gimana dan apa yang harus dilakukan! ohmaigat - ohmaigat!

Akhirnya dengan polosnya dan karna butuh mikir plus curhat plus nanya pendapat dan sgala macem saya bilang ke Yuri si penelpon tsb untuk minta waktu dengan alesan...sorry, can I ask my husband first???...ihiks sounds silly tapi rencananya memang itu juga salah 1 hal yang akan saya lakukan setelah telpon-nya ditutup. suamiku emang udah tau sih klo diriku ikut kontes ini, tapi kan waktu itu mikirnya ah paling juga gak menang dan ga tau juga bakal ada telpon2 bgini. akhirnya si Yuri itu bilang...okey, I'm gonna call you again, maybe 2 hours later?...langsung saat itu bilang iya aja deh >_<

Dan selama 2 jam itulah panik mode dimulai! singkatnya saya me-message teh Erry, mem-wazzap Amie *yang saat itu ga dibales2...ihiks*, mem-wazzap mba Dila sampe akhirnya dia gregetan dan langsung menelfon saya, mem-buzz & curhat sama mimi Sherien di YM...smuaaa teman dekat yg terlintas di pikiran saya saat itu juga saya kontak smuanya untuk saya tanyain pendapat! sampe tentunya telfon ke Bayu Buana Travel untuk nanyain tiket di tanggal 19 dan 23 Agustus. dan guess what, semua tiket dari Jakarta to Incheon baik yang direct maupun yang transit..dari yang economy sampe business class is FULL BOOKED! masi mending klo ada, ini loh ga ada semua! Ohmaigaaaaaat...

Akhirnya telfon trakhir baru nanya ke suami *ihiks, suami malah jadi belakangan ternyata* dengan super duper takut juga ngasi tau hal ini, dan pertanyaannya cuma 1 dari dirinya...itu beneran dari Korea? taunya klo beneran gimana?...Gubrakkkkkk!!!
tapi setelah dijelaskan dengan agak panjang lebar akhirnya dia-pun tampak berat hati dan tidak membolehkan istrinya meng-iya-kan hal ini. apalagi dia berat juga mengingat tiket harus biaya sendiri dan pastinya kalopun ada harganya selangit karna peak season. ihiks, iya sih...lebaran gitu loh... T____T

Setelah melalui pemikiran yang mendalam *asli mendalammmmm banget deh* dan tiket juga ga ada yang available di tanggal segitu...okay....*tarik napas yang dalem*...I Think This is Not The Right Time....

Dan pas 2 jam kemudian di jam 12.30 WIB, si Yuri itu telpon saya lagi, pas itu saya juga bilang padanya bahwa saya udah ngecek semua flight di tgl 19 Agustus dan smuanya full..nah klo full trus saya harus gimana ya? tadinya harapan saya dia akan menjawab kalo pihak Buzz Korea bisa bantu cari tiket walopun nanti saya yang akan ganti biaya tiketnya ke Buzz Korea, tapi sayangnya si Yuri tidak memberikan solusi apa2, dia hanya bilang...Oh I'm sorry, but we cannot help you for that....ihikssss - sediiiiih. yah pokoknya intinya Buzz Korea ga mau tau-lah, mereka cuma mau taunya apakah saya bisa ada di Korea tgl 20 apa tidak, thats it! yaa bahasa yang di sampaikan sopan sih, gak maksa dan gak sewot juga denger pertanyaan2 saya, trutama dengan enggres saya yang minimal dan enggres si Yuri yang logatnya cadel korea....komplit sudah.....-_-"

Sedih???? iyalaah, of course! boong banget kalo ngga! skali lagi, saya memang belum tentu menang, tapi dengan nge-reject pastinya saya sudah benar2 ter-eliminasi sebagai pemenang yang ikut mewakili Indonesia. saya memang udah baca dan tau persyaratannya kalo yang ditanggung dari pihak Touch Korea Tour maupun Buzz Korea hanya akomodasi selama disana saja, dan International airline tickets are not included. tapi ya gak nyangkanya itu aja bakalan full booked....*sigh*

Yah intinya kesimpulan yang bisa diambil dibalik penolakan ini adalah selain full booked ya tentunya ijin suami. however, its important *kcuali klo masi single yah....ahiks*, dan yaah, lebaran juga penting sih...bisa dipentung Oma-nya Alyn inih kalo saya bilang saya pergi lagi ke Korea dalam kurun waktu belum genap 3 bulan dari kepergian kmaren >_<;;;;;;;;



*source from KTO*....berdasarkan hasil browsing ini adalah daerah Buyeo yang menjadi salah 1 spot yang masuk dalam schedule Tur-nya para pemenang Touch Korea Tour - Chungcheong di hari Ke2. Wow, so beautiful! Korea..it is Sparkling! ^^ 

However....I'm proud with my self. hihihiiii mungkin ini memang belum waktunya dan belum rejeki saya untuk menginjak Korea lagi, tapi akibat kontes ini paling ngga jadi punya pengalaman sekaligus rasa PD-lah untuk mencoba di tantangan selanjutnya *kalo ada lagi tentunyah*, seperti yang saya katakan di akhir postingan saya di kontes kemaren....menang atau kalah saya akan teruuuuuuuuuus menulis mengetik semuanya terutama tentang Korea! maju terus pantang mundur! ahhh saya makin cintaaaaaa Korea!!! ^_^

Let's Touch Korea!!! ^o^


Well, lets take a break for a while from my journey to Korea....


Since I still miss Korea and desperately want to return to that beautiful country again, then for all that this time I will try to participate in a contest program that was held by Korea Tourism Organization (next we called  - KTO) which the title is "Touch Tour Korea - Chungcheong". and what makes me interest to do this is the amazing prize! the prize for the winner will get FREE-Holiday-To-Korea-For-3-Days!!! Whoaaaaaaa...isn't that amazing????! *screaming* The term and condition is actually quiet simple, just make a post in english about what is Touch Korea Tour and Buzz Korea, the detail is here. well, just trying to find the fortune, who knows this special post below could lead me to fly back to Korea. Surely this will be the second historical moment in my life! (if I win ^__^v) since I never try this before so its kinda make me nervous especially with my grammar. I admit that my english is not really good, but yea...I will try my best ^^;; 

First I want to share a little bit about my addiction to Korea. actually I started to love Korea from watching korean drama on my local TV. I think the first drama that I saw is Endless Love with Song Seung Hun, Song Hye Kyo and Won Bin as the main characters. I think its about 14 years ago. and Gosh...that drama succesfully make me IN LOVE at the first sight. not just because the handsome of Song Seung Hun (hihihiiii...nobody deny how good looking he is!), but the plot, the story, the beautiful place on the drama....wow, such a virus that directly spread into my mind! so yes....start from that drama I become a BIG fans of all about Korea! and that love is getting more and more and more big untill finally about 2 months ago me and my friends went to Korea! Arrghhhhh...still remember the feelings. its feels unreal but its real! and if someone ask me to go there again especially for free....definitely the answer is damn-YES! (well who could reject it? hihihiiiii....:p)

Okay, now back to the main post. let's just start from what is Touch Korea Tour program???

Touch Korea Tour is one of the program that organized by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) which is a part from promotion tour of South Korea. promotion of this tour is definitely the effect of the Hallyu Wave or Korean Wave or often called with Korean Fever. the rise of the entertainment program start from the Drama, Film, Music (commonly known as K-Pop) and the Artists called Hallyu Star become very popular from all over the world including Indonesia (and of course I am one of them :D). It has become the main attraction and lots of interests that focused on language, culture, culinary, fashion, and especially objects in South Korea as a destination of package tours in Korea Tour.
There is a tagline that I found on the official Visit Korea website couple days ago that it really fits with this campaign, the tagline says :
"Interested in traveling to Korea, but have not had the chance to visit yet?
Discover the Charms of Korea at "Touch Korea"

Yep, its really true. One of the way to visit beautiful Korea but you don't need to spend lots of money (hihihiii) is to follow the - Touch Korea Tour program. There was some event that actually held from Touch Korea Tour, but there was one event that makes me so happy and so proud because there is a winner who representing Indonesia. she is a special friend that I've just known from Touch Korea Tour event and right now she become one of my inspiration as well as encouragement by the name of Erry Andriyati! (Haha, I mention your name Sist!)
The contest that she won it's called  "Selection of Touch Korea Tour Experience Team" which is held by Korea Tourism Organization Indonesia. And the winner from Indonesia which is Erry Andriyati  finally had the opportunity to get a FREE vacation to Korea and also an amazing opportunity to meet the Hallyu Star’s who are very popular and become K-Pop idol and they are 2 PM and Miss A! Oh my God, I Swear It makes me soooooooo jealous! * screaming again*

Maybe this housewife with two kid who are the main hobbies are blogging will not be able to visit Korea if he didn't channel his hobby in the Touch Korea Tour contest (beside her lucky destiny of course ... hihihiiii). But through her moment and story that she has been share until now, Touch Korea Tour has provided experience as well as an unforgettable moment for her.
From Touch Korea Tour program and through the experience of Erry Andriyati above, actually we are not only get the opportunity to see the beauty of Korea, but also get the opportunity to meet and make new friends from around the world, enjoying stay in five star hotel in Korea, taste the delicious korean food, and even meet with their handsome and pretty artist aka Hallyu Star! ^o^.
So for those who have a hobby  which is writing in the blog, from now on just try to share it through blog contest that held by Touch Korea Tour as I do now. Interesting events such as the Touch Korea Tour could also be promoted through a media called Buzz Korea.
Buzz KOREA is a global campaign and an integrated online community platform site that reveals Korea's tourism attractions and a variety of Korea-related contents through social media like Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Ameba, QQ etc.  If you have an experience and memories about Korea, you can share it with other Buzz friend and then you can talk about life in korea, korean culture,  food, fashion, drama and many more with everyone you communicate with. its one of the easier way to know about Korea and I think  it can help you too to give information especially if you want to go to Korea.

well, many thing that we can find from Buzz Korea, example like event that I try to join now : Touch Korea Tour – Chungcheong.  

become excited?  Start to post on your blog and then try to apply then share it with your friends!
Like I said before, who knows your special post could lead you to fly to Korea!
Well for me, win or lose it doesnt really matter, I will definitely going to write anything, especially about Korea because I LOOOOOOVE KOREA! v ^__^ v
