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 went straight to the homestay.
It was called "LOSMEN LIMA SAUDARA".
We have contacted Pak Mid (the owner) and we'd already got a room.
There was a living room with tv, a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen with refrigerator and stuffs.
Big enough for five people.
I was amazed by the backyard. It was connected to the beach, with coral flooring and
I swear Arif and I saw a little blue-tailed crocodile there. WOW!
We spent the noon interviewing local people and the opinion leader.
After we finished with data and all, we rented bicycles to stroll along the island.
The road there was really narrow and bumpy. It was made of cone-block.
Reminds me of Greece village in Mamamia the movie.
Arif rode me. And it was really funny cause our bike went crazy.
We did the "jaipong" movement with the bike... Really silly :')
The sun was nice and the breeze was even nicer.
We were in a tropical paradise, buddy! You must experience it your self :)
A man offered us coconuts and we enjoyed them so much. Amazing!
"Tidung islands are about beauty, friendliness and simplicity", Arif wrote.
We continued our journey to Tidung Kecil, crossing a long winding bridge by foot.
The scenery was magnificent!!!!
The water was so clear, you can see corals, fishes and everything there.
Tidung Kecil is an island surrounded by beach and it has forest in the core.
We had to trespassed trees and bushes to get to the beach.
Spent the rest of the day strolling around the island to look for the perfect side of the beach.
Cause it was not sandy at all, it was full of corals.
Arif gave us the wrong direction so we ended the day having our feet scratched and torn. Awfull!
But it was worthy for the pictures we've taken.
Riding the bike back to our homestay, the island look so dark.
The only lighting came from local people's houses.
That's why we could see the stars... Ahh I could spend the rest of my life stargazing.
The dinner was terrific!!!
Grilled fishes, peas, fried prawns, "sambal" were just what you need after a long day in the sun.
We also watched "Lenong" on the "alun-alun" (big yard where people gather).
It was my first time and it was super hilarious!
Sleeping with you friends was the perfect way to close the day.
We slept in the same room, side by side, with dreams in the air and smiling faces.
I'm gonna post the 2nd day soon.
and now you may enjoy our photos... Cheers!
See you in my next post. Am gonna be a mermaid now :)

Leaving Muara Angke with smiles
(Left to right : Ethen, moi, Riry and Arif)
With Yodsa's camera, Muara Angke even looks beautiful... Look at the sunrise!
Arriving on Tidung Besar... I look like a backpacker
The homestay's backyard
The long and winding road
Bike-riding along the island
With Pulau Tidung's opinion-leader
I'm in love with the beach!!!!
Yumm, enlightening coconut from Bang Napi (the men from Pulau Tidung Polsek)
The fabulous bridge which connects Tidung Besar and Tidung Kecil
Look at the water... Clear and blue. Tempting!
Strolling on the Tidung Kecil beach.. Shaping star with our feet
Time to go back.. We missed the sunset. Too bad
I borrowed Arif's shorts and it turned out to be pants for me. He's too tall :s
Live "LENONG" (it's similar to a slapstick show). Hilarious!
See you in my next post. Am gonna be a mermaid now :)
