Blunt Words

Sometimes you need to go somewhere you love, alone.
Sometimes you need to talk to yourself outside, alone.
Sometimes...

Eating durian is very very fascinating activity. Hmm... the smell and the taste of this expensive fruit always flirting me to eat more and more. Not only me who love this fruit, but also all members in my family except my lil brother hihi... When we gather, we always buy some durians, precious moment! And you know, my brother becomes my rival since he also crazy about durian just like me (piss A) ^^v

One day in my free time, I went to Durian Corner in Bandung, around Dago. I ordered a cup of an chocolate durian ice. Then suddenly after I ate that ice I found something WOW in the table; a sentence that make me laugh alone just like insane person at that time.

"Think Twice Before U Do That" with four exclamations.

Yes, perhaps the owner has good aim by writing that sentence; to aware the customer for being a good and polite guy; keep everything ok. But I think, that is a very blunt warning since the words are not polite enough and emphasized with four exclamations. Not only that, you will find other blunt warnings in some corners in this place. I found another in Cashier. Hmmm..."nice" method!

Whatever they do, I still love Durian, Lho? ^^

Mie Koc(L)ok Kota Udang

Hello friends!
This is it, a special delicious yummy food from my hometown, Shrimp City. Well, Im gonna introduce to you, the main ingredient of this food is noodles. It is completed with tauge, chicken meat, some slices of eggs, and onion leaves. The most unique one is white soup. Right, the soup is poured around all ingredients. My mum said it made from cornstarch mix with water and some cooking spices (hihi... I dunno exactly).

Guys, I really love this food so much ^^. You only need eight thousand rupiah to taste it but me, Im free hihi... coz I often eat with my beloved brother, lho? ^^ yeah, Im a lucky sister!

Come to Cirebon and taste this food, MIE KOCOK CIREBON but sometimes some people called it as MIE KOCLOK CIREBON (with L in the middle). You can find it in hmm... I forgot the name of the area, but it is near MASJID MERAH and TK TPA AL IRSYAD.

Happy Visting My Hometown ^^

Jayagiri to Tangkuban Perahu

Again, wanna share about my incredible weekend!

Getting bored with my final paper,
Really curious about this place,
And need to fresh my mind,
Those were my reasons for now’s journey.

HIKING, HIKING, AND HIKING, one of my hobbies. Last weekend in April, I went to this remarkable place. I have been living in Bandung since I enter my univ, around five years ago but I never visit this place. First, because I was busy with my routine activities and second, this is the big reason, no one had the willingnes to accompany me to say hello to this place hihi… yup, only a little my friend who love hiking.

Tangkuban Perahu! Yes, I drove myself to come to this place. I chose extraordinary way. I went there by public transportation and stopped in Jayagiri. Walking, hiking, breathing, taking picture, and jumping were what I did during my journey. Yes, thank Allah, finally you answer my dream.

To reach Tangkuban Perahu from Jayagiri, I need two and half hours, from 3 PM to 5.30 PM. Intentionally, I went there in the afternoon because I wanna catch the sunset there. Many people say to me that sunset in Tangkuban is a very fantastic time.

Yeah, it’s about 4 km. Wow! It’s very tiring yet amazing journey. I passed the long forest with kinds of trees, kinds of flower, and how great it is! I heard some strange sounds from animals I just knew, such as tonggerek, ape, and some birds. Their voices were very melodious.

Well to complete my story, here they are my pictures during my trip.


Im free (for a while) hehe..



I felt confused here, which one is the right way?



Finally, Im here ^^


I put it in my heart! Romantic sunset!

Guys, you must go to Tangkuban in Sunset time! And feel the romance ^^

Kejawenan Beach in Cirebon

As I promised you, my loyal reader, I am going to share my wonderful traveling on my valuable weekend.
Cirebon became the next destination after Lembang. Through this story you'll agree a hundred percent that my hometown is gorgeous country.
Kejawenan is the name of one beach in Cirebon. It was located in Kejawenan village, near to Pegambiran. Almost everyday this beach is filled by students, young couples, children and local tourist; not only come from Cirebon but also other cities. They come to this recreation area because they want to recover their body; throw away the diseases; and sure, to make their mind fresh (then say good bye to stress). Yes, according to the vendors there, Kejawenan beach has high salinity. It can improve your skin health, etc. One thing they believe, it would be good if you come on Kliwon Friday Nite (Jum’at Kliwon – Javanese calendar). Hmm… I don’t know the detail reasons why should be that time, but based on mine, everyday is a good time.
I really enjoyed the view even though the sand was not clean enough at that day. One unique thing happens here, you can walk to the middle of beach at 2 till 3 PM because the water is low tide. And around 3 to 4 PM you will be in the middle of the beach. How come? Yes, the sand in the middle of kejawenan beach is higher than in the edge, but come back soon to the edge before the sun sets or you will sink!
There is another facility here; you can rent a dinghy (small rubber ship), just pay ten thousand rupiahs and you can around this beach with no time limit, wow! Do you wanna try? Visit Cirebon, and if I am there; have free time, I’ll accompany you, Insha Allah.
Additional, restaurants are available around the beach (small resto).
The ticket price to enter the beach is only a thousand rupiah per person.
If you really want to help to improve the facility here, you can share your money through the box below! Nice box ^^

Special thanks to my old friend, Icang. I asked him to accompany me. He helped me so much in the middle of his busy times. Thank you for your time uda ^^ (next destination: pelangon! Ready?)

Yellow Rice

Cooking is my mum's hobby. Yup, she is a good chef I ever now.
Last week, at Maulid Nabi Day Feb 26, 2010 or 12 Rabiul Awal on Friday, she cooked yellow rice; it was completed with vegetables; eggs; and etc. She loves share something to people around her. She is very nice mum; great woman. She cooked and shared them to our neighbors. The intention is to get Allah's blessing in our Prophet's day. This is only one of some ways we can do beside pray more and more absolutely.
Great job! Through hobby, she made people happy.
I hope, I can be the next, being a clever chef like my mum ^_^

Marvelous Traveling

What will you do when you were getting stuck; no idea; can't read; hard to write; not feel like to listen music even to sing? Fuiihh,,, freakish time! That was happen to me yesterday. Aha! I took a bath, wore casual dress, and then walked, dunno know the destination, and I thought on the way. Yippie! Got idea! Because I love nature so I decided to go to somewhere I haven't know yet. Curug (Waterfall) Cimahi ^^. Most people said that it's a cool place with five hundred ladder steps. Ow.. ow.. Can I step up and down those ladders alone? Crazy challenge! I made it :) I prepared anything from a huge bottle of mineral water, snack, candies, and absolutely it's a must, CamDi ^_^

First destination, Curug Dimahi!

The location is in Parongpong area. I took a ride two angkot (public transportation), you know, I dunno exactly the place so I asked people around me, and thanks God; they helped me. One suggestion for you, just be polite and give your best smile if you need people's help. Back! You only need 5.000 rupiahs, from Ledeng to Curug. Cheap for student like me!

Welcome to Curug Cimahi, it was Weekend, Sunday. Wow! Many people sto

od in front of ticket counter. Well, I thought they were queue but however I was not alone anymore ^^. I came close to that counter but "closed", what's happen? I asked to a woman there with my best polite attitude. She said that Curug Cimahi is closed because of landslide. Hufffttt.... little bit disappointed but doesn't matter, just say Alhamdulillah because I am safe; can’t imagine if I am in and the landslide comes.

But I promise one day I’ll come back and take pictures of waterfall for my loyal reader and you who curious bout it.

Second destination, Lembang!

From Curug Cimahi to Lembang, it takes forty five minutes with three angkot. You must dive into your pocket around 7.500 rupiahs. Then, I stopped in front of Pasar (Traditional market) Le

mbang, you know, the first thing I searched is Ketan Bakar (baked sticky rice). It is 4.000 rupiahs. Aha, it made my stomach full enough but I was curious with new menu, Colenak, I bought it and yummy, unique taste. But so sorry, I just took a picture of Ketan Bakan and me as a model ^^

Ketan Bakar

Third Destination, Café Sumur (Susu Murni)!

I used horse-drawn buggy to go there. Yep, it’s very traditional trans

portation. I only need pay a thousand rupiah. I arrived in the café and I was shocked. Why? Yup, the prize of all menus here are not economical for student. But the special thing here is, they provide various milk. I ordered a strawberry milk and Siomay. For two menus, I paid 18.000 rupiah, huks… >_< but fine, at least I got precious day.

I went at 10 A.M and came back to my room at 3 P.M. Wow! This traveling made me tired so I slept in the way back to home hahaha…

Here is a view in Cafe, a green pond ^^

Perhaps this traveling is strange because I did it alone. Haha… some people I met did not believe I was alone. In Curug, a woman asked where my couple is; the seller of Ketan Bakar delivered same question too. And then my bro also called me by ponsel and said how strange you are, dear! Hmmm… Whatever they said, I don’t care; sometimes we need spoiled our selves and have dating with your own soul ^^ don’t be afraid to go somewhere alone. If you have right intention, God with you!

So guys! Next marvelous traveling is waiting me, I’ll tell you more next time ^^

Happy traveling!!
