Allo
Here's my 2nd post of Pulau Tidung Trip.
As I promised you... Enjoy!


Day 2 was awesome! It was snorkeling day!!! Woo-yeah
Well, the team woke up at 6 and we sailed at 7.
We were about to visit 5 islands then headed back to Jakarta.
It was behind schedule... So we skipped Tidung Kecil.

We took pics first before checking out the homestay.

The owner of this LOSMEN LIMA SAUDARA is Pak Haji Mid.
He had been really mysterious before we met him.
We talked about him a lot... and he turned out to be a nice wise old man.
Arif even made him a song "Pak Mid makan sabun.. Pak mid makan sabun" :p
We love you Pak Mid!!!  ♥


We sailed by a little rocking boat.


It was windy so I did play with the wind.
Yodsa took some pics of me... with my bushy hair


And here's what we expected... Sea with shallow coral floor!!!
Look at the water.. As clear as mirror



Let me show you some pics of us snorkeling


I was always the 1st who jumped to the water.. Too excited

I think this pic is so funny. Riry looked fabulous with her pink umbrella.
If I were a journalist, I'd put this pic and titled it "Jakarta Kebanjiran" hahaa

I choked and drank gallons of salty water. It burned my throat!


They're like brothers to me :))
They played me like a puppet... Grr
 Once they held my hands
Then they tried to kill me... They drowned me!
 All didn't matter cause we had fun!!!
Reaching hands... Ahh friendship :)


Snorkeling .. done! We're heading to Pulau Pramuka
Taking pics along the way :)
I ♥ the pic of us with the tire :))
Cute!

Let me remind you of my mateys
From left to right : Riry, Ethen, Arif and Yodsa
I took their pictures ♥


Well at Pulau Pramuka we had nasi padang for lunch.
We were famished so everything tasted good.
We didn't have time to take a bath so our hair was badly damaged.

Here's the boat we took to get back to Jakarta.

And here's me... saying goodbye to the islands and the sea
See my burning hands.. Ouchh :')



I hope I'd get back there soon.
Perharps you'd like to go with me?
Cause I left my heart and my head there ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Greetings from Pulau Tidung - Day 1

As I promised you, readers, I'm posting stories of my trip to the islands. :) Ready?? Okay here we go! Last Saturday, my friends and I went to Tidung Islands for a trip observation. It was officially a data-collecting activity and a hidden-intentional-holiday :3 There were moi (Shasa), Arif, Riry, Ethen and Yodsa.. Yes Just the 5 of us. They spent the night (Friday) in my house; the boys slept in the living room and the girls in the guest room. That was fun.. It felt like having lots of siblings. Hmm I always want to have big brothers. We began the trip from Muara Angke. The port was so stinky and filthy. We had to catch the 6 am boat so the morning started messily look as if we were having a war. Yodsa didn't even have a bath. Hahaa :) Well, thank God we made it. The boat take 3 hours to reach the island. So we sang and chatted along the way. I sang so much that a man offered me a record. Unbelievable! As we arrived on the island (Tidung Besar) at 11 am. We...

One of The Most Important Decision

So many things happened in life recently. I have just lost a grandpa.. A person whose stories I will forever miss. A person who could make people feel so much. I am so lucky to be able to be beside him through his last moments. How can I describe it? My grandpa passed away peacefully. He was healthy, just went to doctor for a check up, when he found out that his heart was running only with 40% function. He then got hospitalized for a week. His heart was weak, which inevitably impacted his lungs; But he was still able to talk & do things normally. Just needed to stay in bed. I spent my weekend with him. I scooped him some mashed banana, so it would be easier for him to swallow medicine. I helped him with his cough.. I have never imagined I would see him not-energized.. My grandpa, a war hero... He was a very active man. Even after turning 88 yo, he still spent the weekend visiting his children/grandchildren. What really touched me was that: even in his last m...

"IHH ANAK PEREMPUAN KOK SEPATUNYA KOTOR GITU" *BAM* It hits me on the face! Daddy, you really care about me. You pay attention to every tiny things about your daughters. I love you!  I promise I'll wash up soon
