My Friend My Adventure

I never chose people who I was gonna meet. I never made a new circle on purpose. However, Thank Allah that He always gives good people around me, they might not be a saint, but they’re also not a total sinner.  So, I met these people. I may call them as the lost family. It’s only lowering the level if I call them just friend, but there’s no eligible condition that proves that we’re sibling. It’s in the midpoint. We’re not a gank indeed but we’re often exploring new things together. People may judge me I am a friend-choosy-kind person. Who cares? Explicitly, people tend to be with someone/people they’re comfort with, it’s natural selection, no one should be offended.

Since 2013, when we all were already ‘dilantik’, we could finally express ourselves freely, less-pressure-ly, and we started to go travelling around our base town, Semarang. Woohoow!!! My first trip was on June, 17th-19^th 2013. 

This is the squad: Agil-Pebi-Cahya-Chika-Mukti-Me-Mega-Qiqi

The first trip to Ketep Pass, that’s the view

Second day we went to Pok Tunggal Beach in Gunung Kidul, Jogja

In the night, we milk ourselves in Kalimilk, Jogja

Well unfortunately, we planned to go to Dieng the next day, but the road is closed and our car couldn’t be passed through because of the landslide in the middle of the route to Dieng. So, we were stopped only at Gardu Pandang Tieng. Buuuuttt, we didn’t feel really bad because all the way long there, we satisfied our lungs to breath as much as fresh air, our eyes to be dazzled with the natural painting of Allah, and our minds to have a clearer thoughts at the moment.

SEE???

This is the dept 4 2012 squad only, happy us!

Still in 2013, I have two more adventure experiences. It’s on October, 20^th 2013. As I remember, the trip wasn’t scheduled well, we’re just spontaneously bored by the daily routine and need a refreshing. We went to Taman Sari and Pok Tunggal beach (again), very random, and again both of them located in Jogja. Jogja….

That wasn’t a picture from Google loh ya~

By the afternoon, we spent time in the beach again and having so many shoots and also caught up the golden sun set. And I just realized that on that day was actually Bram’s birthday! So after we back, other friends already set up a prank for him. Poor him.

And I still wondering why I became the one who held the cake -_-

          Laaaassst! In 2013. FINALLY WE GOT DIENG! We separated into two team, the mobil team and the rider team. We rented a house for a night, went hiking to Sikunir hill, got the sun rise, captured the natural painting of God from near like common paintings about mountain became real right in front of my eyes, saw the Beauty Telaga Warna, felt the sulphur fog from a crater, and had a candid-able chit chat on a green grass by the Pandawa Lima temple. DIENG WAS SO AWESOME NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF ITS NATURE BUT ALSO BY ITS CULTURE. There’s a catchy myth from Dieng about Gimbal Kids that I still feel curious about till now, but I felt overwhelmed I ever saw one of them from near and they’re actually exist. Dieng is totally deserves the ‘Negeri Di Atas Awan’ title, for its weather which can be reach minus Celcius degree in the cold season, and its highest village in all over Java land.

On December 2014, I had my second hiking experience to mount Prau, again and again it’s in DIENG! It was the nine of us and only the three girls in the squad. There’s a sad story behind, the one who initiate to go hiking to Prau was Mukti, and in the morning we woke up on the top of it, actually that day was Mukti’s birthday. But unfortunately, none of us remember that untiiil we already got back again in Semarang -_- So, HERE WE ARE!

Our route

      Well well well, these are some pictures describing my KKL (Kuliah Kerja Lapangan) to Bali-Lombok on January 26^th – 31^st 2015. KKL almost the same like so called study tour and it was 20% kuliah 80% jalan-jalan.

And this year! I had a blast marathon trip to Mount Andong and Wediombo beach in Gunung Kidul, Jogja. It’s on May 1^st – 3^rd 2015.   Mount Andong was not that high and the trek was easy so didn’t need much time to get to its top. And as always, the tiring feel were paid by the magnificent scenery on top. The soft-cold-breeze hypnotized us. On the beach, we built tents and had one night there. No signal, no electrical, get lost for a while.

I would never have those kind of experiences if their life path didn’t cross mine or it’d never be the same if I went travel with another people. Same place, different people, different story. It’s not the trip that made the adventure, it’s the friend, us, who made the adventure. We own it, young pals!
