Indonesia trip - Surakarta

assalamualaikum.

slamat tahun baru 1430H dan juga 2009 kepada semua rakan2.

maaf sebab lama tak update. asek sibuk manjang..hehe

apa azam korang thn ni? smoga smuanya lebih baik dr thn sblm ni.

me, just the same resolution every year, which are:

to be a better person in every way.

be a good daughter, sister, n fren.

n shed a few pounds off.urghh.

okay. im so eager nk story bout my trip to Indonesia recently. ive got soo many things to share. my whole family pergi including usamah n nada sekali. plus a family friend uncle whom we called uncle din. our journey mula pd 2nd dec, flight at 6.30 pg kalu tak silap. so here's a picture of aku yg tak saba2 nk naik plane. hehe.

the journes is about 2hours shj. so ktrg sampai di Solo around 10pg*setelah collect bag n custom check n all. The old name for Solo was Surakarta. from airport ktrg terus ke Hotel Grand Orchid, Solo. supposedly xleh check in lagi, but fortunately ada bilik kosong where we can park our belongings sblm ktrg keluar jenjalan. since we all nk memanfaatkan every minit kat sana, ktrg terus jenjalan ke Kraten Solo. Kraten means istana dlm bahasa jawa.

javanese building mostly ada open space mcm dlm gamba nih. tempat tu akan digunakan whenever ada ceremony atau event. tempat persembahan traditional javanese music or dance.

atas ni pulak, is my parents kat taman dlm kraten tu.

there's actually a kolam ikan opposite my parents.

and our journey for one whole day tersebut adalah dengan menaiki beca. ktrg guna 3 beca, me n nada, mama n baba, while usamah with uncle din.
Selain ke keraton, we all went to Pasar Klewer. a pasar yg famous with batik.

The next day, ktorang ke Ponorogo. tempat abg ngah belajar. 3 hours journey dari solo.

the next 3 days kitorang stay kat wisma darussalam. a place where families of the students can stay. there's one time, aku teringin makan apam balik kat sana, which they named 'Terang Bulan'. xtau plak knapa. tapi yg penting, my apam balik tu bukan isi jagung n kacang je, there's others such as chocolate rice. n i laiikeee sangat~


here in the above picture is Bik Narti, me, Nada, Us n Rara *bik narti's daughter

Usamah naik delman kuda

The last day kat Ponorogo. we're having lunch with angah at his favourite resto. Diponogoro Restaurant. the food was delicious, n the price was lumayan gitu.

b4 we all bertolak ke Jogjakarta, tgh packing bagasi to put on top of the Panther.

Our journey sepanjang 2weeks itu, we all menggunakan my cousin's vehicle, Panther as seen above. The drivers' name is Pak Salim n Bik Narti is his wife. which means Rara is their daughter. pak salim n bik narti once lived in Perak with us, 3-4 years long. it was 11 years ago. so, pak salim n bik narti was like a family friend to us.

Bik Narti actually insist us to come n visit their house kat Blora. 3hours journey dari Ponorogo. but then, the time is quite limited. so, instead of we all going to her house, we invite her to come along to jogja and then to jakarta with us.

so, the journey begin with pak salim, the driver, sitting in front is uncle din n usamah. baba, mama n bik narti in the middle, while nada n me at the back of Panther. all of our bags goes rite up above, hehe.

atas ni pulak Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putri, the same school as angah's, only for girls.

so, next stop is Jogjakarta and the story is to be continued.
