In the next day, we went to Siung beach. Siung beach was very beautiful. I played the
white sands, I swam there and i saw some people practiced rock climbing there.
Siung beach was in Gunung Kidul, about 2 hours from the center of Jogjakarta. I
played for some hours until i felt tired and decided to go back to our car. After
that, we went to malioboro to buy some souvenirs. Malioboro was about 30 minutes
from Sahid Raya hotel. Malioboro is a busy street, there were many sellers who sold

Visiting Way Kambas

Yesterday I and my family went to Way Kambas national park to see the elephants
and rhinos conserved there. Way Kambas National Park is a national park which is
used as elephant and rhino sanctuary located in Labuhan Ratu District, East
Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia
.
When we got to there, we saw some elephant performances such as playing
football, sitting, greeting the visitors, and other entertaining
performances. Unfortunately, we could not see the Sumatran rhinoceros because
visitors must have a special permit in advance to see them. Visitors or ordinary
tourists cannot see the Sumatran rhino’s natural breeding. In the afternoon we saw
some animals which were being fed.

When we returned home we were tired but we were happy because we had so much
fun in Way Kambas.

Borobudur temple by bus. We left our school at nine o’clock. It took us 24 hours to
arrive there. I arrived there nine o’clock the next day. Along the road, we saw many
vehicles, unique houses, prominent buildings, and some other tourists.

After we arrived at the Borobudur temple, one of my teachers went to buy tickets.

went up to the top of the temple. Borobudur temple was built at Budur Village,
Magelang, Jawa Tengah by Syailendra Dynasty. Borobudur Temple is the biggest
temple in the world. It has 504 statues and 1.400 reliefs. From the top of the temple
we can see such beautiful scenery. I and my friends went around the temple together.

many amazing memories of Bali.
 Watching Movie

My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The
Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after
themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a
small empty island in the Pacific Ocean.
Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So the
passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from
the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.
After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and
sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.
The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my
sister and I enjoyed the film.

 Going to School

My mother got me ready for school then I had to wait for her to brush my hair and
place every strand
in just the perfect position.
I had to show her my shoes that I had cleaned the night before and my school bag had
to be neatly put on my shoulder before I could
get near the door. Only after my mother was totally satisfied, would I be allowed to
rush out of the frontdoor.
I would leave home at 8 am on the dot and make my way down the lane. After a walk
of about 700 metres I would be able to see the tall steeple of the
school.
The playground would be full in the summer and the noise would make me want to
rush into the yard and get into a good game of football before the bell
went.
 My Great Day of Proposing Girl

I woke up at about five o’clock yesterday. It wasn’t a regular day, because I was about
to propose a girl.
After praying and taking a bath, I had my early breakfast. At about nine o’clock I was
in my office but my soul wasn’t there. I was thinking about the lines that I had to say
to her.
At one o’clock, I had my lunch but I wasn’t enjoying it either. So, I practiced the lines
to almost all girls I met at my lunch. Yes, I was a little bit crazy. Finally, it was three
o’clock. I remembered all my lines. I wrapped my works and got ready to pick her up
and of course proposed her.
I met her at four o’clock, took a little walk and went to a movie. At seven, we had a
romantic dinner. I thought it was the perfect time to ask her to be my wife. Then I
said the lines that I practiced the whole afternoon.
She smiled. I reached my pocket to get a ring and put it around her finger. Then she
said “Yes.” After driven her home I went back to my house.
 Meeting a Star

On Saturday morning at 9:30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record
store.
A man stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel. I wasn’t sure exactly
where it was, but I walked with him to the end of Sunda Street. He was very friendly,
and his face looked so familiar.
Then I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked
me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said ‘no’ at first, but he
really wanted me to have it, so I took it.
I found the record store and listened to a few records. D’ Masive had a new record
that was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked
in my bag for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave me. It was a photo.
I was so surprised! He was a singer in D’ Masive!

badminton team players. I saw taufik Hidayat, Muhammad Ahsan, Hendra Setiawan,
Hayom Rumbaka, Angga Pratama, Rian Agung, Simon Santoso, Sony Dwi Kuncoro
and the other Indonesian badminton players in that bus. They were very handsome.
Then, we followed that bus to main-entrance. I found that Taufik Hidayat left from
the bus. When we wanted to get close to Taufik Hidayat, a security guard held me
back. But, I thought that security guard was familiar because He was my old friend
when I was senior high school, he was Andre. After that, he let me in, finally i could
meet Taufik Hidayat and got his signature.

Then, I went back to my seat at the Istora stadium to support Indonesian team. The
supporter was very crowded. They shouted “IN-DO-NE-SI-A” during the match.

best friends made me feel exited.
The tour to Pangandaran Beach began at 09.00 a.m. in the morning and it took
5 hours riding to Pangandaran Beach. There were so many story that my friends
and I got when we were in the tour such as there was my friend who got lost, ran
out of fuel in the middle of jungle, and so forth. But it was interesting, because it
was the first moment that I ever had in touring.

beach. At beach we just lied down there to stretch our muscle because of 5 hours

 My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja

Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpa’s funeral. It was my
first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kin in the
ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week. Several days
before the ceremony was done, grandpa’s body was kept in a series of houses
arranged in a circular row around an open field called tongkonan. His corpse was
dressed in a fi ne wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs and
buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we wore
black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffin. Then, it
was brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath the
granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the wooden puppet
and a funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was held in
this place. The coffin is borne from the house and placed in the lakian. During the
day, there were also buffalo matches. They were great matches. In the night, we
were feasting, chanting, and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpa’s coffin were lowered from the funeral tower and
brought up to the mountain side family graveyard. It was followed by great
shouting and excitement from the relatives and the guests. Finally, we installed
the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other puppets representing the
members of a whole family were already there. The funeral ceremonies made my
family and me tired. However, we were grateful because it ran smoothly.
 My First Experience To Be An Alone Backpacker

I like to go out to find a new place.

When I was in second semester, I went to Bekasi alone to visit my friend. I built
my strenght to go there without knowing anything.
Firstly, I went to Terboyo to find Sinar Jaya bus to Bekasi. Unfortunately, there
was no Sinar Jaya bus. A man in a locket told me to go to someone who could
bring me to Bekasi. I felt so happy bacause my planning would be happen. I just
payed money and got the bus. Everything was gonna be alright until the bus
came to Tegal.
In Tegal bus station, a man in the bus asked me go out from the bus because that
bus would bus come to Bandung.,not Jakarta ones. I felt so confused because
there were so many strange men around me. After they talked for several hours, i
was brought to a new one. I tried to adapt in that bus. People around me said
that was true bus to Bekasi. I could not guess what I felt. The bus walked so fast
until in Cikampek. When the bus was in Cikampek subway, someone told me that
the bus did not pass Cikarang, so when I wanted to go tehre, I had to take off in
Lippo.
Fortunately, a man told me that he had the same destination with me. I felt so
happy. I could not imagine if there was not that man.
 My Busy Holiday

On April 16th, 2010, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that
was the holy day for Hindhu people . I was so tired about the study, so I guessed
this time I could get full refresh anyway. However, the fact said the other way.

First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning helping my mother,
of course after I prayed. Then I did my chores, cleaned up my room, and spread
out my bed under the sun ray. I was really in danger if my mom knew that my
room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. Second, my aunts called me in
the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time, that was the way I kept for
hours to talk with them. After that, unpredictable my neighbor visited me. She
asked my help finishing her homework. At last, the time was running and I just
remembered that I had a lot of homework. I got mad, confused and regretful why
I did not check my homework before. Therefore, I did my homework until 2:00
a.m. the next morning.

I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship
with my homework.
 The Flood

One Christmas in 2007, I was joining a final test try out at school. It was held
from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. One of my schoolmates, Rini, asked me for accompanying
her to the bus stop. When we arrived there, suddenly the heavy rain fell down
from the sky. Rini suggested me to go home soon while she was entering the bus.
It was still raining when I was home. The rain did not stop and became bigger
when the night had come. People were standing in front of their house, hoping
that the flood would not come. In the middle of the night, I got news that South
Purwodadi had been drowned.
The next day, Purwodadi had become a flood area. All activities were paralyzed.
No one went for work or school because the land had been covered by flood.
However, I thank God for not allowing the flood entered my house. Even my
house had been changed into an emergency kitchen. It was so crowded there. I
and my father took a walk around the center market and Central Purwodadi. All
that we could see was water and water. At night, the flood looked like a beautiful
ocean with the moonlight on it. I felt as if I was one of the passengers of Titanic
who was sailing on the sea.
Finally, the flood was starting to decrease in the next morning. I and my family
cleaned our front yard together. That was the greatest flood that I had ever
experienced in my hometown.
 HOLIDAY IN PASIR KENCANA BEACH

Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our
bikes to Pasir Kencana Beach, which is only five kilometres from where I live. When
we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.

After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason
there were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot
chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on
the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it,
we were many miles down the beach.

Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a
while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting,
it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong
wind.

When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned
some good lessons that day.
 Holiday in Semirang Waterfall

On Sunday, I and my best friend, Sari, visited Semirang Waterfall in Ungaran.

It was the first time for me to visit the waterfall.

When we arrived at the hill, I felt so fresh and I could enjoy the scene. The air
was so pure and all I could see only green and green.

In Ungaran, we took a little bit trekking to find Semirang Waterfall. It was too
bad for me because the distance to see the waterfall was too far.

After taking so far distance, we found Semirang Waterfall. What a beautiful

waterfall. We enjoyed the nice water in the rain forest surrounding the waterfall.

Hearing the sound of falling water made me peace and relax. It was also
excellent drowning out background sound. Playing with the water made me feel so
happy.

Finally, the time was over. It was time for us to go home. It was an
unforgettable moment. I really enjoyed it.
 MY VACATION WITH MY BELOVED PERSONS

One day, my sister said to me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised
her that the next day we would go to Maron beach in Semarang.
The next day, we prepared many things in the morning. We brought some foods and
beverages, such as fried rice, chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice.
Before going to the beach, I ask my boyfriend, Kiki, to join us going to the beach. He
agreed to join and he came to my house. After that, we went to the beach. We went
there by motorbike. It took 25 minutes to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in the
entrance gate. Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. We swam there for
more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided to eat the foods that we had
brought. Next, my boyfriend and I created a very big sand castle, while my sister
continued swimming. After that, we decided to go home because it was getting dark.
On the way home, we still felt hungry. So we stopped at a Javanese restaurant to eat
something. I ordered gudeg, while my boyfriend and my sister ordered rames rice.
After finished eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 6
o’clock and we were absolutely exhausted.

That was a very exhausting day, but I felt so happy that I could have a vacation with
my sister and my boyfriend.
