Hobbies

Ever curious what is your hobby? I always curious about what’s my hobby….. For example, my bear have several hobbies such as gadget, surfing in the internet, and watches (all are expensive hobbies except for the surfing in the internet); my best friend olip have books as her hobby; my other male friends have games as their hobbies. Hmmm…what’s my hobby? I think that I have no specific hobbies (or just no hobbies at all)…I like to do several things but can that be considered as hobbies? Just to share with you...those several things are as follow:

1. Watching Television
I like to watch TV…and I think that I consume more time in front of the TV rather than sleeping since I have some problem to sleep on let say 9 PM (thanks to the line of work which obligated me to work overtime…sometimes until 1 AM!). So when I come back early from work (around 6 PM), I spent the time in front of the TV…. and still sleep around 12 or 1 AM. What bothers me the most is nowadays, the TV is full with unimportant Indonesian Soap Opera….which made me hesitate to watch the TV…..Can you consider that as a hobby?

2. Movies

I love movies!! Movies (especially movies from Hollywood) are refreshing and you are being entertained by the story, actors and actresses, music, songs, dances, and just a glance of the world also cultures of people outside your neighbourhood. Last Sunday I watch High School Musical 3: Senior Year. It’s a teen movies but I was being entertained by the music, songs, dance, and the beautiful boys and girls (you know…the kind of boys and girls that would not exist in the real life of high school). It was an entertaining movie…entertaining it is…

3. Music

I like listening to music.....and I loved my IPOD NANO. The device can accommodate 8 GB or equivalent to around 2,000 songs… I have use around 4 GB and already satisfied with the amounts of songs that I have. My lovely black IPOD have accompanied me during my working hours, my journey back from office/client to my home with busway and taxi, when I’m waiting for somebody, and driving in the car. I really love it coz it accompanied me during my “can not sleep” moment when I can not watch TV since it showing those unimportant soap opera. But can this be categorise as a hobby coz by all means, I think music should be considered as a necessity not a hobby

Books

I like reading books especially novels and comics…I can spent a day without eating and drinking just to finish reading Harry Potter or Laskar Pelangi…...But if books is your hobby, such as Olip and Novi, you will be spending your money to purchase new books published or spending your time regularly in the library…. I think that I’m not that kind of person…so can you say that books is my hobby?

Travelling

I love travelling…I love seeing a different language, people, history, and discover a new experience. Travelling can makes you relax and refreshed your energy. I really love travelling especially when I have friends to accompany during the journey and money to pay for your travelling expenses (really love it when my travelling is free). I think from year to year…my travelling experience always accelerating….

In 2006, I went to Pulau Umang in my Company’s outing event. It’s a beautiful island with beautiful cottages. Recommended if you want to spend a romantic gate away with your love ones…but not in a Company’s outing!

In 2007, I went to Bali and Lombok for my vacation in May with several friends (Novi, Mei, Ratih, Yuli, Mike, and Oey)….. And apparently, my Company’s outing in June was also conducted in Bali…. So there are quite many places that I have visited in Bali. Love Bali a lot and will sure be back!

In 2008, I went to several cities in Southeast Asia…such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Genting, Bangkok, Phuket & Phi2 islands with Ratih, Angghi, Melitta, Jonjing, Abud, and Heri. Love it a lot…. So many new things that I have experience, so many beautiful painting of God’s hand that I have seen, so many new cultures that I have witnesses……in short…I have discover lots of thing during my travelling time.

In 2009, will I have the chance to travel again since all my travelling partners have resigned from my Company?? Hiks!!

Conclusion: What do you think? Do you think those activities I like can be considered as my hobby?
