Previous Journey to Jakarta’s Old Town

now: Jakarta History Museum

high speeding!

kapok ah kalo mesti tiap hari ke bekasi, gila…

hyahaha berarti jarak terjauh jd biker ya ke bekasi ini…sampe hafal jalan.

lewat kampung rambutan-bambu apus-lubang buaya-pd.gede-jatiwaringin

pulang lewat hankam raya jatiwarna-setu-bambu apus-kp.rambutan-ps.rebo cijantung-ps.minggu-tb.simatupang-lebak bulus-bintaro-pd.aren.

kalo cuma sampe ps.minggu gpp sih masih terjangkau, tapi kalo sampe tiap hr mesti ke bekasi sono; alamak!

di tb.simatupang itu emang high speed road bgt deh; enak2 aja ngebut sampe 80km abis itu bensin langsung kritis; waktu perginya nyantai2 40km bensin ampir sekarat pun masih bisa isi bensin di jatiwaringin.

O Tuhan, kasi kerja jgn yg jauh2 please…

overcome the fear & anxieties

always like that again.. anxiety became fear. especially anxieties of traveling.

that’s why I have to overcome it, by doing travels.

anxieties of something might happened on the way, the fear of an end. it became more and more annoying in my mind when the time is near.

especially it happened when i’m in doubt to go, or after a long time haven’t go anywhere far.

if the journey is full of excitement, i have no doubt to do it and boost my mood to be happy about the journey.

example; will going to meet someone I love.. i will go anywhere.

maybe i have few anxieties but the joy and the excitements, made those went away.

traveling is great, I love it; but once the fear came it can ruin all my mood of the traveling sense.

When I was in Jambi

Pergi ke Jambi

maret 2009, lanjutan first time on a plane

not much to see, but quite exciting.

yg khas, arsitektur rumah rumah disana; terutama atapnya

the route that made me sick, but I was happy

on Friday, went to airport

Saturday rushed to home on pouring rain

Sunday, went to cijantung to meet him, went to my home on 1 hour journey, then go back to pd. gede on wrong way and very exhausting. then back at home again..

Monday, went to pd.gede again then have fun at dufan, went to pd.gede

Tuesday, last day

cried on the way back home from pd.gede

yeah cengeng abiss..

the simple route:

menyusuri jln tb simatupang sampe fly over raya bogor, lurus lewat kp. rambutan, lewat setu-pagerlarang, bunderan hankam raya. finish

the wrong route:

fly over raya bogor belok ke pd.gede raya lewat pasar induk kramat jati, tamini square etc etc muterin pasar pd.gede dll alamak capai sekali

just this once, muterin Jakarta sejauh ini ahaha

i’m sick now.

Udik..my first time on a plane

akhirnya kesampaian jg naek pesawat..

berhubung ada acara di Jambi, ahaa keluar pulau pula.

udah beli tiket 3 hari sebelumnya, cukup mahal soalnya pas ada hari libur gitu, ya sudlah demi.. trus pesen travel ke bandara dari Bintaro, sekiranya 1 jam cukup. lewat BSD, Kebon Nanas, Tangerang ah macetnyaa.

transit di terminal terminal, dan turun di terminalnya lion air. yaa sempet linglung soalnya ga tau check in dimana; taunya ngantri toh. uda slese check in bayar airport tax trus bingung juga nyari ruang tunggunya…ragu ragu yah akhirnya dengan sedikit ke udikan dan sotoy, nyampe juga di ruang tunggu dan ternyata pesawatnya delaay…

ternyata airport tax soekarno hatta mahal ya, dari bandara sultan thaha cuma 8000 rupiah saja.

likes the train

baru tau kalo suara kereta lokomotif biasa dan krl tu beda pas melaju di rel.
suara kereta biasa itu lebih klasik..

aha jadi terbayang liburan..perjalanan dengan kereta malam hihihi

pulang ke kotamu…

How much I love this city.

Less stressful than the capital city; this city mesmerized me so much.

Everything seems go like the flow, not being hurried and hectic; i’ve been through these and I can compare which city suits a person like me who like leisure a lot and enjoying life, enjoy the day.

Maybe it’s really meaningful if I could stay here and live here; yeah, I’ll find out how. Whether it’s different make a living here or it just a sense of the holiday I’ve been. but it always like coming home to my second hometown.

And one thing, it all so cheap compared here, living cost is more affordable; example, I will pay about 26k rupiahs for a coffee in such café, and here I could find kind of type coffees for just 9k rupiahs, for me the taste is better than when I pay 26k. The difference is just the style, one is very urban dynamic hang out place, and the other is humble traditional hang out place with so many tables; but the menus are similar like other coffee places.

It’s the sensation or the sentimentality of this town that makes me fell in love with. Perhaps I will spend more than a month of last holiday there if I had more money.
