Kawah Ijen Trip 27-28 sept 2011, East Java

Day 1, 27 September 2011

Early morning in jakaeta, I use a domestic airplane to go into Denpasar, bali. It took 1,5 hour :)

After arrived in Denpasar, we had a brunch in airport and during brunch we try to find a rent car that we need it to go inti Gilimanuk harbour.

And we got it for Rp 400k, and 3,5 hours. For me its not really expensive, because we are 6 peoples ;) if I'm alone, I will use a bus.

After arrived at Gilimanuk harbour, we try to reach the fastest departure time of ferry. And we got it! We only pay Rp 6000 per person. And we arrived at Ketapang harbour, east Java for 1 hour.

Inside the ferry, we saw so many cockroaches, and we listen dangdut all the time :)
And there is a great massagers which has strong hands! Hahaha its so awesome he can massage only 5-10 minutes ;p

When we arrived there, there is a driver Pak Yono, he uses a big car, and we start our trip to go Kawah Ijen. I rent Rp450k for a one trip to Kawah Ijen.

We start to buy our dinner and have early dinner was Nasi rawon, this is favourite food in East Java only Rp 8000. We buy our dinner, because I'm afraid that we cannot find a food there. :) but don't worry that there are some small shop, you can find coffee shop, noodles and simple food there, and the price still okay :)

From Ketapang to Kawah ijen only take 1 hour, around 42km but you should use big car, and 4wd car. Because the road is very rocky, no lamps, and there are so many monkey. You should be careful. The road is small, the road's wide only 1 car. And its very hard if you use motorcycle :) but big motorbike is still okay

We arrive at Paltuding, its the last place to drop off and we have to walk for 3,3km to Kawah Ijen.

We stay in small room Rp200k, for 6 peoples :)
When we arrived there, I can see so many stars and its very cold, perhaps 10-17 C. I don't know the exact temperature, but for me its very cold!
Lucky us that we prepare our warm clothes hahaha

We sleep until 1 am ;)
And we continue our trip yeaahhh

Travel To West Europe and UK

Travel to Europe its really amazing and I still think in my mind.. Am I dreaming??
Because for me travelling to Europe is hard to catch it.
It is my dream since few years ago, and I finally did it ^^
Before do travelling, there were a lot of to do, suffering, saved so much money, and also keep praying.
For my country, its very hard to get Visa to Europe and UK.
I need to prepare all the documents also money in my bank, and the other letters that very important.
Finally i got all visas (UK and Schengen), 2 days before my flight. My heart bumping very loud ^^ during i ask for visa :P almost everyday i called to the UK and Italian embassy, asked for my visa.
I didn't believe with travel agency anymore, because they work very slow and also the embassy looks not believe with the agency.
So I prefer did myself.

Finally i got it!!!!
And go around the UK and Europe!!!
I join to a group of young travellers and it was amazing that I can know one each other to new friends from another world.
They are from US, Africa, Japan, Australia ^^ we are very happy and solid.
We share our knowledge from our country, everytime we laugh and feel tired.
In uK, for me, this country was amazing! If I can scream, I will scream ^^ one place that I like, you can see in the Street Dance movie 2010 (october).
You can see the egg glass, that part/area that I like it.
I love their food, weather.. and my cousin's house, its near with the ponds. I can see the swan in the morning and see Sun Rise ^^ its so beautiful.

For Europe.. I can talk anymore about that country.. really really amazing..
I like the building, romantic person. Maybe I will tell the story one by one for each country that i stayed there.
But if you still young and have money, there are so many things that you can learn from there.
Use tour agency for young person only, or you walk alone like backpacker ^^
But if you feel not comfortable, hmm you can use your own country travel agency.

I use UK's travel agency for this trip, they only tell you the story, give you the accomodation (hotel and bus from one city/country to another city/country), and in the city, you only have a map and money, and you search your destination like museum, shop, restaurant, or the other things by yourselves.
Just make a friend in my team ( I use a group of persons who join to young group from certain travel agency, we join to a trip for 19 days)

I'm Human!!!

Nowadays... i feel so lonely when i walk together with my friends. Some of them use 'Autism Gadget' every seconds and when i talked to them.

They answered me without looking at me EVEN I'm in front of or besides them.

I'm HUMAN!!! I'm not a statue or robot!

I just have deep breath when I did this :) Sometime in my mind, I want to get their gadget, and then throw it away.

Oh ya, I saw a new movie 'Grown Up', I really like this movie.

Adam Sandler at that movie, he tried to open mind of his child, because they already addict with the gadget!

I really agree with this kind of movie!

Wew miss the old life like 10 years ago, people not addict with their gadget, only television, phone house, hm for cellphone, I think its not make addict :) not like the others.

Video games? hmm yeah..

Hey friends where are you, come on 'throw' that gadget... ^^ I mean not really throw it :) but don't too addict with your gadget, get some real life with humans!

Not with electronic things. Open your mouth not only for drink, eat, kiss but... for talking ^^

Enjoy your real life with EXACT HUMAN!

Rio Haryanto

I bet some of you do not know who are he... Let me explain about him shortly :)
He is a talented boy, 14 years old, he joined to Formula One (F1) !!
But before that he joined to the Kart championship :) since 2001.
By the way, for his history you could see from his website www.rioharyanto.com
I like him so much because he is cute, smart, and cool!!! Looks like strong man!
I can not believe it that he is still young, still 14 years old, i guess he is more than 20 years...
huhuhuh poor me!
But that's okay, he is great person for this country, he has great talent in Formula ONe!
Go Go GO!!!!!
Hope that he could race with Schumacher, Alonzo :p hihihihi and I hope that I could meet him, because his home town is very near with me. Hohohoho

My question, why nowadays there are so many smart persons when they was young and dumb person when they grew up??!!!!!

Come on guys, do not ruin yourself to the bad things! Do the good things for yourself and for the others :)
GO GO GO GO!!!!!

Back to Real Life

Hohohoho day by day, month by month, time goes by so fast.....
Because i seldom to write a blog again, hmm it is very hard to find out a topic for this blog.
I just write about my experience and my journey since i was written few months ago...
Nowadays i like to cook for myself.
I made some food (Chinese, Indonesian, western) and snacks!
I feel so boring when i live in Jakarta, why? because there is no place that i like to go. It always building and building and building (mall, museum).

Oh yeah! I remember that 2 weeks ago I went to Carita with my friends. Carita-Anyer is a beach place, I don't like both of them. Hukzz I miss to go to 1000 islands, they have blue water, fishes, white sands, not too crowded.
I feel like in Paradise.. hahaha but when I went to Carita, they have great Swimming pool :P
It's so strange huh! I went to the beach but i prefer to spent my time in swimming pool.
I like blue water.. and cold water... and saw volley match :)

I stayed in Carita for one night, we rent a small room with 3 bed rooms, 2 bath rooms, in Carita Bay Selatan. If not forgot, it's rate is Rp.1,2 millions per night.
I like their otak-otak, its made from flour and fish, then they wrapped it using banana leaf and grill it until well done.
And then they prepare with the chilli peanut sauce! Yummy!!
Don't forget to eat seafood also :) but for me, it is not recommended, because I prefer to cook by myself and it is more clean.

In Carita, I did snorkling! But it is not recommended!!!!
I don't like it because there is water pollution there... hukzz there are garbage and oil from boat. Huh I hate it, why people not know that the garbage and oil could destruct the beach and sea!!!
huhuhuhuh

Enough for article today.. fiuh ... finally i make one article since the last time i wrote :P hihihihi

They are so professional and also cheerful!
Thanks God that you met me with my friends yesterday and today.
Let's Keep MOving ON!!!!

Playing Paintball

Last time I played paint ball with my office colleagues (more than 30 peoples). This is the first time I play. Before I play, I should use all the equipment like clothes (army clothes), mask, vest, and gun. I play twice at that time, it make my adrenaline become high!
Fear to be shot, always run, always wanna find a place to hide, try to shoot enemies, try to get a enemy's flag. For the first battle, i got shot by the enemy, ouchhhh it's hurt, i got shot 3 times.
Near ear, on my face, and my leg. I lost my concentration when i got shot on my ear, I don't know what shall I do.
I just remember that I should in squatting position, if not, I will be shot again. At that time, someone shoot my leg :(
I don't have that picture now, hm I remember that my friend already upload the video to youtube. Maybe you can try using keyword "PaintBall". I don't remember the link.
I like paintball!!!!
I wish that I can play again with good gun not bad gun.. I play paintball in the Hotel at Depok, I don't remember the name of that hotel because I play on last 28th , July , 2008.
Hihihihi :D
Let's play paintball !!!

Music is My Best Friend

Feel Lonely...
Feel nothing to do...
Feel boring...
Feel angry...
Feel guilty...
Don't want to talk...
Don't have a reason, what 's going on...
Don't know why....
I don't want disturbed by someone...
I don't want interrupted by someone...
I want to be free...
I want to do something that i want at that time...
Nobody understand me...

Why Music is my best friend?

Only music can know my situation and condition of my mood
I could choose kind of music that i want to hear it
I could sing or hum
He could change my mood
He could make me better
He doesn't understand me but he help me
He doesn't hear what i talk about
Am I crazy talk to music? Hahaha NO, I'm not crazy..
I sing... not talk... talk and sing is different :)
Music can refresh my brain
Music can re-charge my energy, mood, concentration...

Already 3 months i never update this blog :P How how how come???!!!
The answer is I'm lazy to write new post, actually i have so much time and topics to write it down in this blog. But I'm to lazy to write...
From april until the beginning of July, i got some vacations, i went to 1000s island near Jakarta (update : only 2 days not 3 months), it is a beautifully place to go. I did snorkeling hihihi... different with diving, i use snorkel and mask and also fin. For the 1st time, it is difficult, but after can breathe using mouth and not panic, I could enjoy the great scenery under water.
I saw so many fish, rubbish, plankton in the night, islands, boat, and so many things that i seldom see before.
From my vacation, i got a free life without problems :D i just want to swim, sleep, eat, searching for fish, saw anemone :D

Is there any Good News?

Huahhhhmmhhh nowadays i feel so boring with this world... when i saw news in the television, newspaper, online news.. everywhere ... I just saw about corruption, block some website, raise some price for oil or something.
Is there any good news besides that news? it always bad news and bad news...
Now i just try to find article like travels, culture, a place for recreation, it nice to be read.
What happen with this world?

One day without Cellphone

One word in my mind 'Addicted', yeah, this word is fit with me. Addicted by cellphone, i can not think far from this thing. Today i try to not bring and see and make call. Sometime when i have time, my brain always think if i bring my cellphone. It's crazy huh!
When i don't have a cellphone, i never think about it, and think i don't need a cellphone, because i still can find telephone everywhere. But now, yeah i still can do it, and think like that. But in my brain just think how much money that i should pay to get a call.
Okay, it is just my experience one day without cellphone. And the night i still use handphone because i have something important to do.
It's hard to live without cellphone, but i know i can do it.

My Experiment of Growing Pet

Few days ago exactly from 7-16 March 2008, i had an experiment of Growing Pet from an egg until become a bug. This egg you can see in the transparent basket. It is very interesting when you wait from 0-24 hours from an egg, then become broken eggshell until the bug came out from the eggshell become a bug, then the last become adult bug.

Here are the process (you can see the picture below):















I want to say thank you to my aunt that she gave me this toy, she tooks this toy from her son and her son is very kind too, he did not cry when his toy is given to me. When my aunt told me a story that her son always keep seeing on this process every minutes, and believe or not, it happened to me also! I always wake up on the early morning, or midnight, or before and after office hour.
Every minute i always want to see these process, it is very exciting!!!!

Bad Day :(

Yesterday is not a weekend for me.. I got a bad day hiksss... Yesterday i got 2 things that make me feel so terrible. One is i could not went to gym and my aquarium is broken when i want to clean it in the night. Huwaaaaa..
Now i just put my fish in the small basket, i want to buy new aquarium again but later, because i don't have time and if i have time, there is no fish shop open in the night near my house.
So terrible day!
Arkkk feel so sad when i saw my fish... there are 2 fish, it is a 'commet' fish, they have beautiful tail and fin. If i give it to the my neighbor that's a good idea too, but .... i don't want it.
Later i will buy new aquarium again :D

English is Important?

YES! This is the answer of the question above. Now not only for talking with foreign people from the other country. Now for work, for daily activities (like read user manual if buying electronic things), advertisement and the other.. include serial TV drama (Indonesian) start of using English. Why we do not start learning English? Do not say you can not learn because of too old or pessimist. I know you can speak, read, and even write.
Hmm if you do not want to learn English, you can try to learn the other languages like Chinese, Japanese, Franchise, Korean, or the other. It is really important for us, also for the young people. No matter what kind of job do you take, but there is a plus score if you have capability to speak the international language.

HTML 5

Good news.. Now HTML 5 is coming out :D hehehe
There are some differences between HTML 4 and HTLM 5, you can check it out in this link http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/

DOing Something Useful

Doing something useful when you have leisure time

Yesterday i went with friends, we had dinner together.
When I had conversation with him, we had great topic, we talk about what we do when we have some time and nothing to do.
I just give an answer, I just watched TV, search something in the internet, chatting, or going somewhere with the other friends or just sleep, or cleaning my room, just that. Then he told to me, that he always push him self to do something better and useful like doing his hobbies, reading books. Hmm that's good idea huh, since we spare our time, then we can learn something new or our capabilities on doing something is increasing.
From now, I should change my habit and make the better habit became useful habit. Why I should write this and should change my habit?
I heard from him also, 'if you want become success, you should do from now and you should know what you want to be. Looks your parents, they are stronger than us (me and him), you can see them, he saw that his parent seldom to got sickness, and also my parent, but us... we not resistant for the sickness, different weather, I’m very easy to get sick. Is it right?
When I saw my parent, I saw their ambition to do something and also to feed their child is big!
By the way, I don't know about the other parents, but look for the elder, who successful right now, looks their ambition to get something what they want. I bet that they have dreams when they were young and until now they still have dreams to his child and his grandchild, or the others. DO you agree with me?
Look their habits also, I ever saw the successful man doing when he got leisure time, he will doing an exercise or reading a book or watching TV. But when he watched TV, in his table always there is a small book or a laptop there. He always doing something like makes a slide for material to teach someone. Wow that's amazing huh.
I really feel attractive to write this topic, I really want to change my bad habit to better habit,
'DOING SOMETHING USEFUL in MY LIFE'

D'Cinnamons is a Indonesian group music. I got it's album from my friend last week and i try to hear it. There is a song that become a soundtrack movies in Indonesia. Hmmm i like this group because this melody is different with the other pop music, and hmm you can hear the guitar melody mostly :p THe singer sounds like Jewel, or the woman who sang 'Jet plane' i don't know the title of the song.
