Apply South Korea Tourist Visa (for Indonesian)

*Every country has their own terms and conditions to apply South Korea tourist visa. This post is for Indonesia citizens only.

Beberapa waktu lalu saya apply visa Korea Selatan. Memang deg-deg'an kalau apply visa, takut tertolak. Saya sampai beberapa kali bermimpi tentang visa -.-" Saya ingin membagi pengalaman saya saat mengajukan visa tersebut. Biaya yang diperlukan Rp 400.000,00. Karena saya berdomisili di Malang, maka saya tidak bisa datang sendiri ke Kedubes Korsel di Jakarta. Saya mengurus visa melalui salah satu travel agent di Malang.

Review : Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves

Title : Slice of Cherry
Author : Dia Reeves
Published : January 2011 by Simon Pulse 

Kit and Fancy Cordelle are sisters of the best kind: best friends, best confidantes, and best accomplices. The daughters of the infamous Bonesaw Killer, Kit and Fancy are used to feeling like outsiders, and that’s just the way they like it. But in Portero, where the weird and wild run rampant, the Cordelle sisters are hardly the oddest or most dangerous creatures around.

It’s no surprise when Kit and Fancy start to give in to their deepest desire—the desire to kill. What starts as a fascination with slicing open and stitching up quickly spirals into a gratifying murder spree. Of course, the sisters aren’t killing just anyone, only the people who truly deserve it. But the girls have learned from the mistakes of their father, and know that a shred of evidence could get them caught. So when Fancy stumbles upon a mysterious and invisible doorway to another world, she opens a door to endless possibilities…. -goodreads

Review : Heist Society (Heist Society #1) by Ally Carter

Title : Heist Society (Heist Society #1)
Author : Ally Carter
Published : 2010 by Hyperion Book CH

When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own—scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected. 

Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help. 

For Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history--and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way. -goodreads

Review : Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult

Title : Sing You Home
Author : Jodi Picoult
Published : 2011 by Hodder Export

One miscarriage too many spelled the end of Max and Zoe Baxter's marriage. Though the former couple went quite separate ways, their fates remained entangled: After veering into alcoholism, Max is saved in multiple senses by his fundamentalist conversion; Zoe, for her part, finds healing relief in music therapy and the friendship, then romantic love with Vanessa, her counselor. After Zoe and Vanessa, now married, decide to have a baby, they realize that they must join battle with Max, who objects on both religious and financial grounds. Like her House Rules and several other previous Jodi Picoult novels, Sing You Home grapples with hot button issues. The novel also includes a CD of songs, each matched with a chapter in the book. Perfect for book clubs. -goodreads
