My Biggest Achievement: Pendakian Umum Stapala - Gunung Gede 2007

Almost five years from that days and i still can remember those moments, those greatest feelings. Excitement. I'm far from professional, found that would be interesting back then. Pendakian Umum Stapala 2007. Enrolled weeks before with one of my girl, Eka.

July 13-15, 2007. We departed from campus at July 13 night. My then-boyfriend-now-husband accompanied me until the truck brought us to Cibodas. Btw, at that time we're dating for 6 days. Hahaha. I and Eka on tenth team if i'm not mistaken, with 8 other guys. I can hardly remember their names. So sorry.

Okay i'll try. Ten of us. Eka, Mas Harvi, Mas Iqram, Bongkrek, a junior wore big coat :D, a senior from Bea Cukai taking a lot pictures of us -some photos here taken from his camera-, Mas Nasri ( or Natsir? ), and two other guys. Aaahhhh i'm so sorry can't remember them well now.

That experience surely my biggest achievement. Hey i was climbing a mountain. Hahaha. We walked at night in super cold temperature. We mustn't sleep to prevent hypotermia. We took rest for several times. We crossed a hot water river or things like that. Hihihi. We had breakfast together. I still can visualized the place in my mind now.

At noon we reached the top of Gunung Gede. It felt, "wow!". Speechless. Yes i know everyone can climb Gunung Gede for it's a national park, but having the idea i'm on the top of it still amusing. Hahahaha. Then we went down to Alun-Alun Surya Kencana. Edelweiss's land.

We set a tent there. Spent the night. Oh yeah the temperature still biting but i didn't remember anything. Guess i slept very well that night :). In the morning we took a lot of picture near edelweiss. Such a beautiful place. You can't get that close to that flower before climbed a mountain. For sure, because we were prohibited to bring edelweiss.

Then we went down, through the paths we used to went up. Taking pictures. Rested on a small river and went to a waterfall. We made to Cibodas at night and arrived in campus at midnight. My cellphone were dead so my boyfriend couldn't picked me up. Hahaha. He wanted to picked me up when i arrived. Ah such memories.

kembali ke kotamu, Malang..

Menyambut cuti bersama dadakan tanggal 16 Mei 2011 kemarin, saya memutuskan pulang *padahal sih udah ngajuin cuti * :D ke Semarang. Lumayan dapet 5 hari di rumah trus langsung cabut ke Malang di malam hari ulang tahun saya pas tanggal 18 Mei 2011, mengunjungi kota si Jelek, Malang. *jengjeenggg*

Lumayan juga ya perjalanan 9 jam naik bis dari Semarang ke Malang. Dari merem, melek lagi, oh-belum-sampai-saya-merem-lagi-aja terus melek lagi gara-gara penumpang sebelah ngorok dengan merdu, terus merem lagi kayak bayi..... akhirnya sampai juga di Malang pagi buta *pake jaket*

Pertama kalinya nyobain fish spa, geli-geli seru dan seketika jatuh cinta sama ikan-ikan itu. Jadi pengen bungkusin masukin plastik trus bawa pulang, hihihihi....

Ke Batu Secret Zoo, seruuuu banget, gak nyangka seluas itu tapi puas banget rasanya. Best part-nya adalah ngasih makan hewan. Dari burung-burung lucu warna-warni sampe rusa dan semacam llama *eh atau emang llama ya?* dimana kita naik kereta muter-muter dan mereka ngrubung kita yang bawa buah dan sayur buat mereka. Seru banget.

the most beautiful animal, part of royal family... :D

...even it has crown at the top of the head!!!

beautiful flamingos

kalo mau piara ini harus ijin dulu,huhuhu...

*graukk*

kids are cominnnggg.....!!!

'till we meet again! :)

pergi sejenak bermain lumpur di kala genting..

Akhirnyaaaaa....
Paspor gw dapet stempel dari negara lain, muahahahaha....
Negara tersebut adalah Malaysia, kita jalan-jalan disana kurang lebih 2 malam dengan waktu efektif jalan-jalan cuma 1 hari jadi rasanya beluuummm puaasss. Ada aja yang masih kurang, terutama perasaan "kenapa-gak-saya-ambil-saja-boots-kemarin?" plus "kenapa-harus-saya-tinggalkan-kalung-lucu-itu?"
Hahaha

Petaling Street or Jalan Petaling is Malaysia's Chinatown. We stayed at a hotel on that street. Alamanda Hotel, a cheap and comfortable hotel that we booked from their website on the Internet. When the night came, this street's became night market. You can buy any kind of things and meet any people from any country. Fun.

The famous Petronas Tower

My subway ticket and map, but i have it returned as arrived at my destination. After Petronas, we managed to visit Genting Highland, it has malls, hotels, theme park, etc. You can call it as an entertainment place in a package. And you know what? We put ourselves into this:


Wuaaaaa.... That's Genting Skyway and we have it two ways because if we take it only one way, we'll have to go back to upper Genting by walk or bus. Pfftttt. 20 minutes in a thing like that?




Look at the left side! It's monorail, one of best things i've found in KL. Super excited :D This city is so clean and well-managed and has many public transportations, you could choose: bus (hey, they have double decker bus here!), taxi, monorail, or even subway. As far as i know while visiting this city, there's no heavy traffic jam.

Hey, you see me bring a plastic bag! Oh yeah, i bought myself an ankle boots and chocolates for me and friends. Before we left this country, i bought a scarf and two magazines for me and gifts for my boyfriend. By the way, you can see this kind of crowd in Bukit Bintang. So many people walk and talk and shop, and yes, it is a place to hang out and spend saturday night with friends.



Finally, it is time for us to go back to Indonesia. Two nights is not enough. Hope we'll see you again.



What i like most from this trip is i can see and experience new things, new places, new cultures. We met a lot of people from different country with their habits, uniqueness, and lookings of course. Hihihihi.


Dan akhirnya perjalanan ini adalah perjalanan penuh coba-coba dan pengiritan, tapi ternyata uang yang dialokasikan buat kesini masih sisa aja gitu, hahaha. Gw seneng banget sama trip kali ini dan semoga ini bukan jalan-jalan ke luar negeri pertama dan terakhir. Next destination: Singapore and Thailand. :)
