baduy trip - an isolated village in rainy days

initial

it was started with conversation how to spend new year holiday during lunch break. after i rejected 3 plans:
1. with relatives, initially it was jogja but it was cancelled due to full booked everywhere, whereas it was h-3 months. so it happened in malang near my grandma's house. Also i can visit trowulan near my uncle's house. but due to transportation, i had to take public transportation round-trip, i don't interested. also i cannot do anything at my grandma's, no leptop, no appropriate tv, nobody to talk, somehow i'll end unproductive.
2. join wanderlust to krakatau. due to rainy season and it'll across sea, hmmm let's avoid it.
3. adlin kept asked me to go to jogja in last minute. i thought it'll not worth it, because the train ticket, the crowded people, and to walk around with public transportation inside jogja is really wasting time.

so i popped a place, baduy. one of my friend, radit was enthusiasm. is it really happen? too many fake-hope (php) happened in my life, makes me think twice. he got info that we can take bus directly to ciboleger from kalideres only. yaiyyy. ciboleger is the last stop station, after that we must continue by foot. i remember one of my college friends ever visit that village, so i asked her about guide person. but she said it's better not in rainy season, slippery path.

should i cancel it again. No. no more cancel plans. too many cancel plans in my life. moreover i got partner and it's man, so i feel safer. so we tried to call a guide from website, while he talked to guide, i keep browsing, and shock reading that guide which was my friend was talked to is a money oriented. but at least we get the maximum fee for our parameter.

we had 5 free days, we browse another fun places near baduy. i wanna go to sawarna beach. after we thought the way back home gonna spend twice longer. it's better next time by driving car. how about strolling across banten city. it sounds good idea, i love that too. but what happen if the city got nothing. like any other city i was visited because of duty call. after all, (especially after trekking 3.5 + 4 hours) we didn't visit those additional fun places.

it really is happen

2pm | in rainy day we met at kalideres, get on bus. no passenger. we kept asking the driver/co-driver, when it'll get going, but the answer was vague.

4pm | 2 hours waiting finally it's moving.
7pm | arrived at rangkas. everyone got off the bus, but  the driver told us our journey still a long road, now it's time to take a rest. Hah?! we thought we arrived at ciboleger at 9pm, then find a place to sleep and having dinner. in this 1 hour break we try to find food in a place that a li'l bit traditional marketstreet, public tranportation stopmoment while wait for the passengers, still many people passed by, streetfood stalls and there's a minimarket as a sign of civilization (plus my public toilet during trip).

8pm | rangkas - ciboleger. the bus fully loaded by the passengers.

10pm | in light rain we arrived at ciboleger. around 3 person come to us as 'calo' (middle-man that handle or seek anything that we need, usually there's a fee for them), thanks the co-driver told us earlier to go to syarif husein's place, they have a place to stay and eat. i saw local people gathered with loud music, i can't see clearly because it's already dark and i can't get closer because of the light rain. we told the 'calo' to guide us to syarif husein's place. although it's already closed, they still welcoming us. before we go deeper, settle the price first. no price list. radit asked how much, the mistress didn't give us exact amount, she said it's a freewill. radit suggested for 50k. she said okay.

let's see the place. it's on the second floor. separated building from the main house. nothing there. wooden floor (not fancy parquet), floor mat, pile of pillows, mattress. it's really is a place only for sleep for group around of 5 person or really really more (the personal space of indonesian people is so tiny, look at that numerous people inside public bus). thankfully the place is pretty much clean, the painted wall seemed new, the ceiling was okay. once there was cockroach. but hey what kind of greatness do you expect from freewill fee. ps. the stair is really steep and the footsteps are small.

the bathroom on the ground level. there are around 5 booths that line each other. no ceramic floor, big water's place ('bak mandi'), exposed on floor and wall. welcome to the less-life.
done take a bath. i prefer take a bath in the midnight rather than in the freezing lazy morning. what to do else. with limited internet connection. arrgh radit bought book. i forgot to packed that. plus if i bring that, do i will read it or just simply weighing my bag which have been already heavy. sleep is all i can do. while try to sleep i heard many firecrackers poped out, i guess it's already 2015. quick wake up then sleep again. i need my body to get ready for the tomorrow morning

looking for guide

6.30am | hot tea for a perfect cold weather in the morning. look around ciboleger. there's a shop that sells anything, similar to shop at the traditional market. we thought we can buy salted fish for baduy people as gratitude gift. we go back, radit decided to eat breakfast at the syarif husein's place. i'm not a breakfast person. but seeing radit's sunny side up egg fried seems tasty. okay i grabbed half portion breakfast. radit asked the mistress do you know any guide? we wanna go there today, a moment later the guide coming in. i forgot exactly how, but i think this guide didn't say hello to us first, he just sit far across from us then sipping his coffee. i asked radit, should we asked him, he said he seemed in a rest moment enjoying his coffee. the mistress was our middle-man, she asked how long we're gonna stay. maybe around 2 nights. but we wanna go to baduy dalam directly today. not knowing what time we start the trekking, i just feel let it flow. radit decided to take a bath first. i thought that's good, we can't waste time, while i'm still eating.

7.45am | we met the guide with our backpack on ready to start the trekking. while walking, radit introduced himself and me. the guide name is ubai (always mixed up with abui, some village in alor). radit asked about the price, but his voice was unclear and we got no right answer. we were guided to report to 'lurah' (kind of administration house). no officer we met. we write our name, id number, contact phone, start-end visiting. keep walking. radit asked again about the price. in my nind, we should agree the price first. i don't want to get tricked. he answered for a place to stay it cost for 150k/night. and for the guide fee, he didn't answer clearly. maybe this is how people do freewill.

'are we start walking to baduy now?'

radit asked. abui said yes. what?! i don't have enough water supply. we even didn't buy salted fish for baduy. we plan before the journey we'll visit minimart to buy some snacks. thankfully i had biscuit, 2 slices bread, chocolate bar and still in no appetite moment. plus thankfully i already ate half portion breakfast. thankfully we still met small shop in house.

ray of light | another small river that we across | river means are washing and cooling down my foot

some granaries that i took

photo memory - ing at baduy dalam

11.30 am | ubai told us to wash our foot in the river before across the bamboo bridge. yes we already arrived at the baduy dalam, cibeo.
the fascinating river down the bamboo bridge.
we stop for a while at the terrace with many men. the man besides me is making a basket by waving the bamboo and his cup made of bamboo.
then we go to ayah karmain's house, that's how he wants to be called. my first impression of his house was clean and homey. all the house are houses on stilts (rumah panggung), typically traditional indonesia's house. although it's dark inside due to no electricity. i feel peaceful. we were welcomed by the hot tea. although we didn't bring anything for the host. he is nice offering to use his stock. he said if it for 3 person, it's still enough.

thankfully, there's a lady who sells snacks etc. it's time to fuel our tummy. while watching the people especially the little kid who tries to up and down by herself, playing with the fabric, acted as if she is washing that fabric. i took pop mie, radit took 3 boiled eggs. we also bought salted fish and raw eggs for our dinner.
back to the guesthouse, pak karmain still do something with his furnace (tungku), i guess he cooks rice. and he also make bracelet by waving from bark of 'terep' tree. then he showed us another unique things that he sells. i'm interested in his weaving fabric. but i decide not to buy it, is it necessary for me. radit bought bracelet, even though he's not a kind of bracelet person.
the food was ready. our menu were boiled egg, grilled salted fish, fresh raw long beans, and 'abon' which i bought it and beef 'abon'.

it rains again, though we wanted to explore the village. radit suggested to travel using 'ponco'. it makes us look more stranger person in that isolated village. we looks like yellow and red allien. there's some territory we can't enter, it's 'kepala suku' 's house. nobody can meet him, only some people at the some purpose. i'm lack at orientation and this village seems difficult to be memorized. almost all the houses are same and many intersection each house, because they don't attached each other.

we intend to take a pee on river, but when radit see the the ladies taking bath, he cancelled it. ubai said there's a chamber (bilik). don't expect it with fully closed shelter. this chamber doesn't have any door and roof. this chamber is turned aside from the main pathways, so nobody will across outside the chamber. there's bamboo fountain that falls into a water's place (i forgot from what material it is) that shaped in slim rectangular. and there's trash out of bamboo weaving that shaped like standing torch.

we continue by exploring the village. we found that there are two bamboo bridge and also two rivers. we play water on the river. playing stepping stones that turned out into throwing stones. i bet the water can be crystal clear in sunny weather.

around 5 pm | before we go back to the house, we bought raw eggs for breakfast. doing nothing. then we end up at the terrace just talking. the kids family got home from farming. his kids are active but we didn't get a chance to talk to them. we realize how baduy kids are easily walking running in the slippery stone-soil in barefoot. their foot seems to be designed to evolved in that situation.

it's getting dark. while waiting for the dinner's ready, we play shadow puppets with our hands. i only can make 2 or 3 animals. radit is creative, he can make (maybe around) 7 animals (i forgot).
dinner menu were scrambled egg, (again) grilled salted fish, squash vegetables with coconut, 'abon', and bee cocoon (first time i eat, the shape is looks like tiny egg, it's white, and the taste is sweet, overall it's tasty, not disgusted at all).

i learned that inside pak karmain's house, there's only one room and it was used for personal space of his family member. there's also furnace inside that room. and his family member spent their time inside that personal space. even when we had dinner they don't join us, only pak karmain self and his daughter who likes to clinging around him. that's his way to protect his family from the outsider who will always stay a night at his house.

then we sleep before at 9pm. it really is dark. thankfully i didn't insomniac, can't wonder what will i do in a pitch black without electronic on.

6 am | i'm awake. brushing my teeth with tea. breakfast. then ready to leave this paradise. no showered (too cold in the freezing morning or no private place). there are another 3 person that join us, a daddy, his (around) 7 y.o boy and their guide.

back on the trek

7 am | the path was getting more slippery and gluey. sometimes the light rain accompanied our trekking. thankfully we had 'ponco'. my headband helped my hoodie to stay on my head while i walk. we walked on different route from yesterday.

12 pm | arrived at syarif husein's place. take a rest. whoaa can't believe we did it, especially in a slippery road and we were fine.

hello (many) people and electricity

1 pm | the last elf from ciboleger to rangkas ready hit the road. at first the passengers only us. the driver told no matter how much the passenger, this elf will hit the road at 1 pm. and it's the last elf from ciboleger - rangkas. we sat at the front seat next to driver, because we wanna know what kind of road + view that we took previous night.

2.30 pm | arrived at mandala bus station to change the bus and continue to kalideres.

6 pm | arrived at kalideres bus station and greeted by rain (again).

appetite off - clean the house - be merry

my thought started with 'thanks god we have oat, at least my tummy safe from gastric pains (maag in indonesian) otherwise i will eat instant noodles just like my brother did.'

around 9.30pm. i feel hungry (not starving) and if i don't eat, i'm still okay. just like what i did last night. too lazy or too sleepy for me to put food on my mouth. i know this thing isn't healthy for my body. i don't have any appetite right now. when i see my daily food i just feel so-so. the food doesn't attract me (is it the right words?), even the pretty fancy good looking food tastes so-so in my mouth. i wonder why, is it because i feel immune. i remember the first time i eat at famous dessert place that was the best tasty food i ever taste. but the last time it just so-so, not that great when the first time.

i will eat when i feel hungry. so when i lost my appetite i don't feel or don't want to eat at all. i ever done that for 3 or 5 days (i forgot). i dunno why, is it because my parents didn't provide snacks that i like. or is it because my tongue is picky, because i ever experienced the tasty food and it makes everything tasteless. now with my job, i gratefully can taste food in fancy places, but since i lost my appetite their fancy food looks so-so in my mouth.

is it because i'd rather spend money on other than food, like little silly cute things, shoes, clothes. i thought if i spend my money on food, i don't have any memory to keep it. eventually i'll forget the variation taste of that food. keeping the same taste is hard, we never know how long the food will stay tasty. it'll lost, gone eventually. see what happen on my experience with the dessert place. i don't say their taste isn't good anymore, i say the taste is not good in my mouth.

my on and off appetite usually happen at least for one or two months. especially when my duty was really hectic and i'm on deadline pressure. but this time longer than usual. my short pants ever fits or a li'l small for my body, but yesterday it was very loose.

i don't need food to make my tummy full, i just need food to make my feeling fun. (menyenangkan bukan mengenyangkan)

i ever feel that tasty with roppan panakkukang. on the hectis of 2 new stores, 2 different outside java (manado & makassar), many changes, in-out aiport till it taste like on the bus. it healed my appetite and my body.

do you know Emma on Red Band Society series? i wonder am i gonna be like her. No. my gastric pains will pop up first, it will block anorexia.

when was the last time i feel hungry anytime? maybe it was around before ramadhan fasting period in august. along that period, there are many weddings with good looking food, but none of them tasty for me. i just eat for my tummy.

Sadly, i often spend on good looking food recently just because to hang out with friends or lunch at mall because of duty calls. i remember when i was just graduated from college my mom will prepare lunch box. but now, she's getting lazy to cook, maybe because of that too, no proper food that rise up my appetite. it's so different when i was senior high, minimum every week there was fish. is it because i need good food not only for my tummy but also for my brain.

boiled broccoli, boiled snaps, stir-fry kale and spicy eggplant, that things i can eat tastily. i am bored with chicken and beef. i prefer meat from water like shrimp, squid. no fish.

oh another reason, i don't like cooking. i prefer sit in front of computer browsing anything or watching movies.

i remember when my appetite was on, i can get anything, really any food get into my mouth. i don't care if it tasty or so-so, i can swallow them all. my thought at that time, i don't get it why everytime i put many food i always getting hungry the next early morning, even i had a lot of food the other night. it seems like they're gone.

i wonder, what moment can get this on again?

okay stop blabbering. i just realized today is christmas.
be merry!! for all who celebrate it.

since early december my brother and i was left by our parents. the house is really really dusty. i must clean it for a full day. it's better to do it in the early my nothing to do holiday which is started today. usually i can get up early on weekend, because my body already get used it. today at 11am i wake up. cleaning my face and brush teeth. i was searching for small vacum cleaner which i usually used to clean my kost-an long time ago. everywhere i searched but couldn't find it. i almost give up. in my mind i should get that thing to start this cleaning. if i don't get it, my mood goes bad. thanks God i found it on the first place where the big vacum was stored.

lesson learned : 'when i search for particular thing, make sure to look deep, go behind, go down, go deeper that storage or box or whatever. usually you'll find on the places that you have been search. it's your eyes don't look that particular thing.

maybe because of that vacum, i cleaned with no bad mood. it's the first time i clean the house. Hahaha, i feel proud. my sweat all over my body. it feels i was worked out. no need gym hah.

wanna get slim or make you sweat. just clean the entire house. no money waste at gym.

before i started to clean the thing, i clean the equipment first. i just feel the thing will get cleaner if i clean the thing with clean equipment.

the 3 brooms i washed it and dry it under the sunny. mop and tea cloth (tea? i mean cloth to clean things) also get cleaned by detergent. no wonder i finish at the afternoon.

christmas. i must say merry to my friends. my candycane isn't finish yet and i forget to transfer from office computer. but thanks to long lost colourlovers, their new pattern template makes me wanna to colour the pattern just like kindergarten.
it started with open inbox mail, get notif periplus have a year-end sale. stuck and find pretty little liars for 18.000rp. next maybe they got colouring books for adults. then i think why i have to pay it if i can get it free by download the pattern and print it. one of the sites said you can get into colourlovers. whoaa i already have that account, let's visit again, let's see what's new. and i currently in love with their pattern template.

i wonder is it any christmas template. yaiyy found it, although it's hard to find the nice and easy to colour.

it started with this

it reminds me of ikea's

can't believe what those green-yellow combination can make this gorgeous look

love the color combination

too good to trash

one day at pasar seni itb

maybe the first time i heard about 'pasar seni itb' was when i was college. i always into art event and this one should be on my list.

this year i have the ability to attend. i got free time from duty, no running project just do defect project.
the only question is it really worth it?

so many thought come across, first how do i get there? i prefer take travel. i have done it and enjoy the trip. but the government suddenly announce to raise petrol fee. it makes me think twice because i will take travel two ways. by train, i'm not sure if i can survive and got the ticket. by driving car, i'm not sure my mom will let me. i'm still beginner.

then with whom do i get there? one person (adlin) is fix and she will bring along one friend that can drive matic and manual. the other two can't join. at last minute adlin's friend can't join too. i dunno why, maybe because adlin's car will get periodically service and my (family) car must be a big no. so we'll definitely take travel. another thought, how we take travel together, tangerang and bekasi is really a far away, am i gonna go to adlin or backwards or we meet in the middle. thingking about how much time i waste just to meet her makes me not wanting to get going. i sugest we take travel on our own and meet at the pool. too bad she can't or don't want travel alone. rrrRRRrrr.

when we start our trip? personally i wanna friday night, but traffic would be my rival. also i have to find dressmaker who can make a simple dress in less than 10 days around my house or my office at friday night. so it's saturday morning.
then another else pop out, at sat morning adlin can't, she got an appointment with someone that should happen two weeks ago. that appointment at noon. she said we can take travel by 3pm. i'm not sure about that, if we meet people we never know how long it will end. and i know who she will meet and it's not gonna that quick as she thought.
i don't want to be depended on her, i have to take action. and it works. i know i feel bad to her. but she said 'mager' (not wanting to go anywhere or just do nothing).

i almost give up. because of the travel fee. is it really worth it if i spend 300k just to see 'pasar' (market) at the rainy weather. also the super duper crowded people. can i really enjoy it as i hope.

i see a good signs. jengnad said it'll worth it. i got free bed (no worry about accommodation) thanks to bila. she's graduate student at itb, so her place is pretty near to the event. and the best sign is i got free ride bdg-jkt. it really save my cash. i have to attend it. i can't imagine the next event, can i attend it with solo trip, free place to sleep, no works on my mind, no other interesting event at the same time.

after that crazy thought i decide it.

installation

| man standing in the middle is the creator | mostly the others see through lens |

can you spot yourself or someone you know?

our dirty wet bottoms. blame it to the heavy rain

tiny tiles

thankies c:

we arrived around 10 am by walking. visited bila's friends booth. just got there and the heavy rain ruins any display things for about an hour. and it ruins our looks :c. i even didn't get any photos yet.

the crowded was really super duper many young people, mainly at booth area. it makes me lazy to visit the booth one by one. and their things are not interested to me. my cash was saved.

as far as we away from booth area we can breath freely and took selfie at installation.

i found several installation was not in good condition, maybe because of the heavy rain.

why it must be happen on the rainy season?

hello selasar sunaryo!

bricks + green grass + rainy days + cool weather
calm + serene + miss my grandma's house

it's a place i always curious. i thought it was really far to get there. we can take public transport called 'angkot' until 6pm. i wasn't plan to go there, it's a sudden visit, not knowing where we'll spend the afternoon. another list was checked.

i didn't bring camera charger so i don't take many click clicks. i save it for tomorrow.

playlist

after (maybe) 3 months i didn't put any song on my mobile due to its i dunno what to called it, let's say it was error, i must to put songs again to accompany me on short bandung trip. just some slow songs to keep me calm and sleepy. now i'm into jessie j, and keira in begin again also a few katy perry.

a little reunion trip to pramuka islands and its friends

3a.m -- packing

wake up. it's packing packing time. then shower time. thanks god my fever has gone away.

5a.m -- pick up

time to pick up. first stop is a place to shop anything in short time (read minimart). after i buy enough supplies for us to survive on the boat, we're ready to go to muara angke.

6.15a.m -- on the way

oh no, we're stuck. we decide to get out of car and continue by foot. luckily, muara angke is near. start to smell something fishy fishy. the stink smell only appear at first (fiuuuhh,, can't imagine how my morning nose fells like). then, we continue by taking hmmmm what's called, a motorcycle with enough 8 seats on back + 2 seats at front + 1 seat for the driver. it costs 5k per person. we arrive at the place where many people in groups carrying bags. let's called them local tourist who wants to get holiday away from the city. dhani is our connector in this trip, wherever we go, we follow him. the boat we took almost full. i dunno where should we sit. luckily, i bring 2pcs newspaper and several plastic bags that can be used to avoid our dirty pants while seating.

7.30a.m -- the journey

the boat is moving, yaiyyy. i see dolphins :o

our spot on the boat

10.25a.m -- arrive

here we cooome

wait for the guy to meet us and lead us to our sleep place. arrive at the guesthouse. welcoming with hot sweet tea and 'gorengan'. enough with 'leyeh-leyeh' moment then we change our outfit with ready to wet it.

11.30a.m -- lunch

our lunch (and breakfast) menu. squid fried with flour. mini shrimp with spicy taste :((. many kinds vegetables. watermeloooon.

12.20p.m -- on the boat again

after we pick our fin size, google, life-jacket, we're on the boat again. first we are taken to look around the sea, sky, and islands. in outside means i can blow bubbles.

01.45p.m -- meet 'elang bondol'

stop on an island where 'elang bondol' are being healed. this creature is endangered species, for some people who doesn't understand they keep it as a pet. some of them was being injured on the wings so they can't flew away. the owner makes them like in prison. while we look around, we got caught by the local authorities that said we're come without permission letter.

reminds me of maple tree (another random click click)

2.15p.m -- snorkeling

it's my first time. kind of forget how to swim, how to breathe on the water. it turns out breathing under water is really hard and heavy. plus the googles is not friendly to me. the glass view is not as clear as my everyday view. plusss my foot always cramps, can't swim freely :(duh): so i become a remora (remember some episode on the crazy ones), have to attache to something or in this case i have to attached to one of my friends (sorry pals)

3.30p.m -- laaaand :)

got a chance to get in touch with sea urchin or we called it 'bulu babi'

16.30p.m

back on the boat again. now with young coconuts.

17.25p.m

a little snorkle to visit a little sand island. long enough for me to remember what that thing called. it's like a little island that i visited at alor,ntt. among the sea, there's a little sand popping. laguna (i think that's what it called). but my big bro called it delta. i dunno which one is the right.

17.55p.m

another hop on island. now it's time to enjoy the young coconut without straw and spoon. too bad, only hop a few minutes, then back to the sea. me continue enjoy the coco on boat. it's time to go back. we are tired, sit while enjoy the sunset wind. there's no sunset :(

7.30p.m ++

wait the queue shower time. playing cards. i teach them how to play speed and seven spade. dinner's arrive. the menu is tasty. 'sayur asem'. 'ikan bandeng bakar'. 'ayam pedas'. why there's spicy food :():

around 9 or 10 p.m

they fall asleep. whattt. it's still early. i don't feel any sleepy yet. this moment we should chit chat about anything. catching up the missing years. or what i called the deep conversation. yeeahhh, but what can i do, our body is not strong as it used to be. maybe they don't get used to be one full day activity. thankfully, i am healthy, not feeling any fever at all. i was afraid, because suddenly last night i got high fever. maybe it's because i used to be to do a whole day outside activity by join college excursion on isolated area. while waiting my body feel asleep, i chit chat with fel. thankfully i could sleep not so long after that.

another day 6.30a.m

whoaaa they got up early. also my body. is it because my daily routine that makes me have to wake up at 7a.m. the schedule for today is not clear enough. dh said we can do anything what we like. but by giving that option to someone like us is really wasting time. we are whatever person. instead nothing to do, i make them get move move.

8.00a.m -- meet 'penyu'

 we're walking to some place that breeding turtles (i think the english word is wrong, what i mean is 'penyu'). kind of a long walking.

9a.m -- jump into sea

what i want is beach with clean sand. but the guide said the spot is full of people. hmmm... the spot that he means is the spot that just we walk through. i see no full people. hmmm... maybe there's a mangrove near that spot that we can't go near. now i see that this pramuka island really have small sand beach. the plus of this island is when you jump on the water even on the edge you can see clear water with many little fish swim in it. then the next thing is we jump on the water again. our foot got bite by some fish. the feeling of screaming 'a aw aaa aaww a aw' is funny though. the more i see what's inside the water the more i know and afraid that many fish around my foot.

10.am-11a.m -- journey back home

time to shower. psss this morning before we meet 'penyu' none of us take a bath. because we know we will get wet again. packing and prepare in hurry cause we afraid that we don't get the best spot on the boat. the truth is we don't want to sit outside again. because it's already sunny, our skin could be tanner. and the sun after 10 a.m is not healthy. me and ti walk firstly in hurry to catch up to get the best spot. as we saw many groups walk towards the same direction as us. the closer i get, my brain thinking, which boat should we take? we don't know. we're just followers. this is so useless to walk forward but having no information about what to do. feels like we don't have any brain huh. thankfully, the guide lead me and ti to the right boat. he was thinking the same way as i am. he afraid if i don't know which boat should we get on. between up and down, we prefer down. because in down the sun shines indirectly. and we can still feel the wind blowing too. yaiyyy we got the good spot.

2.30p.m -- lunchy

touchdown jakarta. we're got picked up by my big bro. next destination is food. i imagine we'll eat around pluit or pik, because it's near to airport. but a little references we have. plus asking my big bro, the answer is always ducking. between 'bebek yogi' or 'bebek slamet' we chose the second. it's perfect food for our hungry tummy.

5.30p.m -- see ya tik! 

time is up. tik has go back to semarang. while there's time to wait for her flight, we decide to get ice cream at a&w's. the ice easy to melt.

7p.m -- i'm hooome
