My Third Day - part 1 : How Difficult to say 'Pyeongchang Winter Olympic 2018' in your own language?

Okay, let’s move on to our tight schedule in Pyeongchang !!! But firstly, happy fasting to all the Muslim!!

Schedule for today is Pyeongchang - Wonju – Jeju Island!!! *Wait for me Jeju, the romantic places for all of the dramas!*

I woke up early in the morning *the morning call from the hotel woke me up actually*. Feeling so fresh! Even though the day before, we had the tough mission which is had todo 108 bows, but I felt so excited that morning!

Baiklah, mari kita kembali lanjutkan jadwal ketat gue selama di Pyeongchang!! Tapi sebelumnya, selamat puasa dulu untuk semua kaum Muslim yah!!!

Jadwal hari ini adalah Pyeongchang – Wonju – Jeju Island!!! * tunggu aku Jeju, tempat romantic dimana semua drama berasal*

Gue bangun pagi pagi sekali hari ituh *okeh, sebenernya dibangunin ama morning call nya hotel sih* Langsung berasa seger banget! Walopun sehari sebelumnya, kaki gue berasa gempor karena harus menjalankan misi berat, yaitu harus bersujud 108 kali, tapi gue berasa semangat banget lah hari ituh!

I met Tiphany in the lobby, and then we went to the restaurant to have our breakfast. Michelle and Dondre were a little bit late. That’s why Tiph suggested the mean punishment for the team members who were late. Bow punishment!!!...hahaha…that’s tough! I think, this is how we came up with our ‘bow jokes’. Every time there was something disturb us, we simply said, “okay I’ll do that, after you do the bow for me”…hihihi…CRUEL!

Oh, and Tim never had breakfast! Okay, that’s explained why he didn’t have enough energy to do the bow in the last mission…hahaha…breakfast is good for our health! *ops, sound like my mom*

delicious breakfast!

Gue ketemu Tiphany di lobby, trus langsung beranjak ke resto buat sarapan. Michelle dan Dondre rada telat. Itulah makanya si Tiph mengusulkan buat kasih hukuman kejem ajah buat yang suka dateng telat. Disuruh sujud ajah getoh. Sadis! Gue rasa, dari sinilah asal usulnya kita punya ‘bow jokes’. Setiap kali ada yang rese atau bikin gak enak hati, biasanya kita suka ngomong “ya udah gue kerjain, setelah lo sujud ke gue”…hihihi…kejam nian!

Oh ya, kalo si Tim mah kagak pernah sarapan. Oke deh, itu ngejelasin kenapa dia gak punya banyak energy buat ngerjain misi sujud di hari sebelumnya…hihihi…*masih dendam*. Sarapan ituh baik buat kesehatan lho! *ops, gue kok jadi kayak nyokap gue yah*

After we finished our breakfast, we brought our luggage and we were ready to go to our next destination, Ski Jumping Hill – Pyeongchang! Actually, this is the location for the Winter Olympic 2018! Awesome!

Setelah selesai sarapan, kita pun ngambil koper dan siap siap untuk berangkat ke tujuan selanjutnya yaitu, Ski Jumping Hill – Pyeongchang! Sebenernya tempat ini merupakan tempat akan dilaksanakannya Winter Olympic 2018! Keren abis!

We had our opening shoot there. But, when I saw all the stairs, I felt like crying…oh no…actually my poor legs still hurt from yesterday’s bow mission. All those stairs like tortured me even more *dramatic*. But I survived!

So many stairs! *damn!*

Fog everywhere! Awesome!

Kita pun mulai melakukan opening shoot kita disonoh. Tapi ketika gue melihat begitu banyak tangga disonoh, sekonyong konyong gue berasa pengen nangis aja getoh…hihihi…kesian banget deh betis gue inih, yang masih berasa gempor akibat bow mission di hari sebelumnya. Tangga tangga tersebut seakan akan memang diciptakan khusus untuk menyiksa gue deh *dramatis*. Tapi gue masih sanggup lah!

 As usual, Ricky did an opening and interviewed us again. Spontaneously. NO SCRIPT. Okay, I am getting used with this. Although I still looked a bit dumb in front of the camera. Just remember, that is not the real me, okay.

Get ready for opening shoot

Dont forget to do the 'Touch Thing'

Camera's and crew's preparation

We always did the cheesy V sign pose! Why?

Seperti biasa, Ricky melakukan opening, dan meng interview kita lagih. Spontan lho yah. Gak pake skrip. Sepertinya sih gue udah mulai rada terbiasa dengan inih. Walopun tampang gue masih suka kelihatan dongo di depan kamera…hihihi…pokoknya itu bukan gue yang sebenernyah okeh!

The producer wanted us to do the gangsters walk for our opening. Ricky showed us how to do the gangsters walk. Okay, he was cool *and handsome*. But how about us? Okay, this is not a gangsters walk guys! But the Grandma’s walk *because our legs still hurt because of the bow mission*

It was so cold at that time, you could see fogs everywhere. And I started to sneeze a few times. I also had a runny nose. But suddenly, they wanted us to take of our jacket! So they can shoot our “Touch Korea Tour” T shirt. *things we did for our film!!*

I feel sorry for Dondre because he didn’t bring his jacket and he insisted to wear his short. Ops, wrong outfit for Dondre..

And we also had to do our gangster’s face! NO SMILE! Fierce face!  Oh my sweet Lord! That was very difficult, because I couldn’t stop to show my awkward *ugly* smile every time there’s a camera in front of me…hahaha…*Oh, my gosh! I can’t wait to see our film!*

Took off your jacket guys!

Give me your Gangstas face! No smile! Fierce!

Untuk opening kita, sang produser meminta kita untuk berjalan ala gangster *gangsta’s walk*, biar rada gaya gituh. Ricky kasih unjuk gimana cara jalannya. Okay, Ricky kelihatan keren banget *dan ganteng pulak*. Trus kita gimana? Oke deh, ini mah bukan gangsta’s walk! Tapi lebih kayak Grandma’s walk! Jalan kita persis kayak nenek nenek soalnya kaki kita masih sakit gara gara kemaren.

Waktu ituh udaranya dingin banget, sejauh mata memandang, cuman bisa melihat kabut. Gue udah mulai bersin bersin terus, dan rada ingusan juga sih…hihihi…Tapi tiba tiba ajah, mereka minta kita untuk buka jaket aja getoh. Supaya mereka bisa nge-shoot kaos ‘Touch Korea Tour’ kitah, *hal hal yang harus kita lakukan demi film kita!*

Gue berasa kasihan ama Dondre yang waktu ituh gak bawa jaket dan teuteup keukeuh sumeukeuh untuk pake short. Duh, saltum alias salah kostum banget deh Dondre inih…

Trus, kita juga diminta untuk ngasih tampang ala gangsters gituh. Duh Gusti! Ini susah banget! Soalnya setiap kali ada kamera di depan muka gue, gue suka gak tahan buat senyum bego ajah gitu…hihihi…*duh, gue udah gak sabar buat lihat film kita deh!*

Actually, there was funny conversation between me and Tiph at that time. Tiph whispered me,

Tiph : Hi Erry, I just heard that Amelie asked Tim just now!

Erry : Oh yeah, what did she say?

Tiph : she said, Hi Tim, hows your legs? And Tim said, my legs just fine!

Tiph and I couldn’t stop laughing when we talked about this! Of course your legs wasfine Tim, I did all the bows yesterday…hihihi…you owe me Tim,…

I couldnt stop laughing when Tiph whispered me 'that' thing. Sorry Tim ;p

Sebenernya ada perbincangan lucu yang terjadi antara gue dan Tiph. Waktu ituh si Tiph nge bisikin gue, separuh ngadu sih sebenernyah..

Tiph : Hi Erry, barusan gue denger Amelie nanya sesuatu ama si Tim tuh…

Erry : oh yah, nanya apaan sih?

Tiph : Dia nanya, Eh Tim, kaki lo gimana? Trus masa si Tim jawab : Kaki gue baik baik aja kok!

Tiph dan gue gak bisa berhenti ketawa ngebahas inih! Yah jelas ajah kakinya si Tim baik baik ajah! Kemaren ituh gue yang sebagian besar ngerjain sujud buat elo kan Tim…hihihi..pokoknya utang yah Tim!!

And then we went in, to the Olympic Stadium. Let the pictures tell the whole story *lazy!*

Trusnya, kita pun masuk ke Olympic Stadium. Selanjutnya biar poto potonya aja yang bercerita yah *dasar pemalas!*

In the museum, the producer asked us to say the cheering message for Winter Olympic 2018 that will be hold in Pyeongchang. So we said together “Pyeongchang Winter Olympic 2018! Fighting!!” And then they wanted us to say those words with our own language. Since Tim and Dondre have the same language, which is English, they didn’t have to do that.

Pyeongchang Winter Olympic 2018! Fighting!

Girls of Fun team!

Di dalam Museum, sang producer meminta kita untuk mengucapkan semacam ‘cheering message’ untuk Winter Olympic 2018 yang akan dilaksanakan di Pyeongchang. Jadilah kita semua ngucapin bareng bareng “Pyeongchang Winter Olympic 2018! Fighting!”. Trus mereka juga meminta kita untuk mengucapkan kata kata tersebut, pake bahasa kita sendiri. Karena Dondre dan Tim bahasa nya sama, yaitu bahasa Inggris, jadi mereka mah gak perlu.

Since, I didn’t want to be the first, so Tiphany did *being the boss again*. She said something in French, fluently. *I didn’t understand a single word she said*. 

Okay, now it’s my turn. I said it in front of the camera, with my full confidence, 

“Pyeongchang Winter Olympic two thousand eighteen! Semangat!” *I felt so awesome*

 …awkward silence…

Ricky : Okay Erry, that is not Indonesian language, that is English!!!

Erry : really?

Ricky : yeah! I asked you to say those words in your own language…

...everybody started to laugh...

Erry : well okay, I know that Olympic is Olimpiade in Indonesian, but…ehm...winter is…ehm..hi Michelle, what is winter? Is it musim dingin or musim salju? *asking Michelle’s help*

Ricky : Erry, why are you asking Michelle about your own language? You don’t know the meaning of winter in Indonesian? *started to laugh again*

...and then I said something really stupid in front of the camera...

Erry : Well, there is no winter in Indonesia…*defensive*

…burst out to laugh….

Berhubung gue gak mau jadi yang pertama, akhirnya Tiphany duluan *enaknya bisa nge boss*. Dia ngucapin sesuatu dalam basa Perancis. Keren *sumpah! gue gak ngerti sama sekali!*. 

Baiklah, sekarang giliran gue! Gue ucapkan didepan kamera dengan penuh rasa percaya diri,” Pyeongchang Winter Olympic two thousand eighteen! Semangat!!” MANTAP! *gue berasa keren, kibas rambut*

…terjadilah keheningan yang canggung…

Ricky : Okay Erry, barusan ituh bukan bahasa Indonesia, tapi bahasa Inggris..

Erry : eh, masa sih?

Ricky : Tadi gue minta lo ngucapin nya pake bahasa lo sendiri kan yah?

….semua orang mulai ketawa…

Erry : Okay, Gue tahu sih kalo Olympic ituh bahasa Indonesia nya Olimpiade kan yah?...tapi..ehm…kalo winter ituh…ehm…eh Michelle, winter apaan sih? musim dingin atau musim salju yah enaknyah? *minta bantuan Michelle*

Ricky : Erry, kenapa lo harus nanya Michelle tentang bahasa lo sendiri sih? Emangnya lo gak tau artinya ‘winter’ gituh?...*mulai ketawa lagih*..

…kemudian gue mengucapkan sesuatu yang sangat bodoh didepan kamera…

Erry : well, soalnya di Indonesia kan gak ada winter *musim dingin*…

…semua orang pun tertawa terbahak bahak…

Oh my gosh! I hope they edit that particular scene! It’s really hard to be Multilanguage …okay…is that even a word? That was my third day of not speaking Indonesian. So it was very difficult for me to switch from English to Indonesian. I don’t have the bilingual button like in the TV remote you know!! *defensive again*

And, just for your information, even though Michelle is from Malaysia, but she never spoke Melayu, because her first language is Chinese. So, during my trip, I only spoke Indonesian with my husband while we were skype-ing. Which is not every day, only for about 10 minutes *more excuses*

Duh Gusti nu Agung! Mudah mudahan mereka meng-edit adegan itu yah!!! Ternyata untuk  multilanguage ituh susah banget lho …*eh, emang ada istilah itu yah?*.

Itu adalah hari ke 3 gue gak ngomong bahasa Indonesia. Dan otak gue mengalami sedikit kesulitan untuk langsung pindah dari Inggris ke Indonesia. Gue kan gak punya tombol bilingual kayak di remote TV lho!! *lagi lagi defensive*

Dan buat sekedar informasi ajah, walopun Michelle dari Malaysia, tapi dia gak pernah ngomong bahasa Melayu, karena bahasa ibu nya adalah Chinese. Jadi selama disonoh, gue ngomong bahasa Indonesia kalo lagi skype-an ama Abah doang, dan itupun gak tiap hari, dan paling cuman beberapa menit ajah *cari alesan*

But, in the end, it turned out to be just fine. After I stopped from my embarrassing laugh, I said those words perfectly. “Olimpiade Musim Dingin 2018 di Pyeongchang! Semangat!” *clap for me please!*

Tapi pada akhirnya, gue berhasil juga. Setelah gue berhenti ketawa akibat kejadian memalukan tersebut, gue berhasil mengucapkannya dengan baik, “Olimpiade Musim Dingin 2018 di Pyeongchang! Semangat!” *tepuk tangan dong!*

We were walking around and busy taking pictures. There was a cute poster. Rachel told me that it was the place from Winter Sonata’s drama. Whoa! I have to take the picture! I am a drama queen! Ricky was so nice to me and wanted to help me to take the picture with my tablet.

Ricky said, “Okay, hold on there!”.

So I stood there with my cute pose!

I was talking to myself, what took you so long Ricky? I stood there for almost a minute!

Okay, Ricky tricked me!

While I was standing there with my cute pose, he was busy taking picture of himself with my dual camera!!

That’s okay Ricky, at least I am having lots of your pictures in my camera now…hihihi…

Okay, next stop will be Alpensia Resort - Alpine Coaster!!

*scary*

*get ready to see my scary face*

I stood there with my cute pose for almost a minute!

While Ricky tricked me!!!

Kita pun lanjut jalan jalan lagi dan sibuk motret. Trus disonoh ada poster yang keren banget. Rachel bilang bahwa poster tersebut adalah tempat syutingnya Drama Korea Winter Sonata, yang mana paporit gue banget. Harus poto disitu lah! Gue kan Drama Queen! Pada saat ituh Ricky baik banget dan mau bantuin untuk ngambilin poto pake kamera tablet gue.

Ricky bilang “ Okay, tunggu bentar yah”

Jadi gue berdiri disonoh dengan pose gue yang cute!

Gue berbisik dalam hati, inih si Ricky ngambil poto ajah kok lama banget yah? Gue pose udah lebih dari satu menit nih!!!

Okay, ternyata Ricky lagi ngerjain gue!!!

Sementara gue lagi berdiri disonoh sambil berpose, ternyata dia sibuk memotret dirinya sendiri pake fasilitas dual camera yang ada di tablet gue!!

Ya udah, gak apa apa deh Ricky, minimal di kamera gue sekarang jadi banyak poto lo…hihihi…

Baiklah, tujuan selanjutnya adalah Alpensia Resort – Alpine Coaster!!

*ngeri banget bok*

*bersiap siaplah menyaksikan tampang ketakutan gue!!*
