click click while stuck in a car to tanjung pasir

plan

inbetween crossing the strait to lampung | puncak | another thousand island trip which i specially request the sand beach | dufan | taman safari | private beach in north area so i can play with sandy beach
then we decide to tanjung pasir. not to far from our house. near airport. it tooks only 1 hour informed by waze. this trip suppose to let it go my desire to play the sandy beach. by the name of the place, it must be sandy beach everywhere.
so these are in my mind, playing with sand, the feeling of sand in my feet, getting a little wet, hopefully collect the abandoned seashell, can't be forgotten to take a jump photo session.

what really happen...

waze guided us to small roads. small housing. thanks God we took dhee's car which is small car. Can't imagine if my mom & dad allowed me to take their car, which is a long sedan car.

8 a.m we suppose to start. although our house is closed by but the reality is 10.30 a.m.
dibya still jogging at senayan and at 9 a.m she's on the way home. 9.40 a.m rama arrives at ogen's house but ogen is missing. what??
then we also abort our mission to stay the night at the last minute, because dhee's parents won't allow it. lucky me to pack in the morning, no need much time to spend it.
9.45 a.m dibya ask rama to come to her house, in order to ask her parents permission. What the Aaargh! thanks God nothing serious happen.

4 hours in a very very very sloooow move

start from 11.30 our car moves very slowly. we're starving. the first thing we do when we arrive is finding the seafood restaurant to fulfill our tummy.
it was a sunny day. to kill the boredom i took my camera phone to take random pictures. i'm satisfied with the result, despite its 3 years old.

landed at untung jawa island for tummy

15.30 p.m we landed at tanjung pasir. too many people. really really crowded. with trash everywhere. my expectation is dropped. no way i can play the sandy beach. the restaurant, i can't see it.
this situation is because today is the H+3 lebaran day. many people seek for the amusement place.

then we decide to across the island, hoping less people, less trash. there's nothing we can do in tanjung pasir. merely to sit is not possible. and also we can't take photo group.

untung jawa island in 3 hours.
1 hour looking for food and one of my friend need to stop by at toilet
1 hour waiting for the food to be cooked and me try to captured the sunset
1 hour to enjoy the seafood. the taste not bad lah. then take a break in a satiation
then darkness make us leave this island

mangrove

sunset is a must taken

try to be happy in these unmoving car -- across the island with starving tummy

it takes two

This is the first series of my randomness using watercolor. At first, i want to learn to paint floral object, but it's kinda hard for me. So, i experiment with the brush. Then i have an idea, let's changes the paper into white blank envelope. Then here it is the wedding card. I only use two colors to represent the 2 sides which are the bride and the groom.

hellOOO dOraemOn

why i took the sad expression

early bird promotion

when i knew doraemon expo will happen in Jakarta. i was super excited. it would feel like meeting childhood cartoon heroes. too excited until i bought early bird tickets which is 20% off on 30th nov (which is the last day promo), of course after i 'poisoned' 3 of my friends. (later during the show has opened, they still sell promo price for the tickets. turns out the same. huh).

then i get more excited after i browse doraemon expo in other countries. Looks nice and super fun.

the day

The doraemon secret gadget expo has opened since 28th nov. but i didn't have time to attend and my friends also cannot. i forgot why, definitely duty calls. A week before the expo end, we got a chance. Before the day, i browse the photo inside this expo. Not many exciting things. Mostly they take the same spot. Hmm... my expectation was dropped.

still in the mood of being new driver. this is the northernmost area i've been driving. The expo happened in Ancol area and finding Ancol Beach City Mall is hard for the clueless me. After we find it, the empty parking lot is hard to find too. after circling 2 or 3 times we find it.

line up

i was shocked by the looong line up. didn't expect still crowded like this. we split. my friend kept line up and me exchanged with the real tickets. thanks i bought tickets via online, no queue at all in exchanging tickets. One of my friend cannot come and we sold her ticket. (later on, we used this money to buy dorayaki and coin game). i understand why we must line up, to maintain the quantity of people inside. So, you don't feel to much crowded then you can't enjoy the expo, even you can't take photo (this is important)

inside

as a starters, it tells the origins of doraemon. too many people wanted to take photo with this doraemon. me not interested.
the next is a room full of many many doraemons and his inspired gadget.

back of the rounded blue heads

this is the look of grown ups nobita and shizuka

palms and fingers

front side full of many people wants to take photo with these

one of the nice & people-free of room scenes

feels completed after the two of us in one frame

see. too crowded people.

image background at the exit. although we feel tired, this image hard to be passed without us in it

we get more silly

end line

• super happy. higher than my expectation.
• super worth it with the price i pay, many things to see and capture.
• divided into areas : the origins of doraemon itself | 100 doraemon figures with its super gadget |  nobita's wedding altar | room scenes from the series | pose while using the gadget | neighborhood scenes | gift & souvenir area
• the quality of figure's finishing is quite clean and neat even the expo almost over. it seen the wholeheartedly the people behind this.
• two thumbs for the organizing committee and the visitor. i see no trash, no random hand lettering that irritated its look.
• the image background is much more interested rather than 3d figures.
