Trip to Bromo


Salah satu keinginan yang muncul dan terwujud di penghujung tahun ini. Suatu hari di minggu terakhir November, aku merasa belum banyak hal yang sudah aku lakukan sampai sekarang. Banyak hal yang belum sempat aku lakukan sebelumnya, salah satunya adalah travelling, bahkan hanya ke tempat yang tdk begitu jauh juga dr tempat tinggalku, karena waktu dulu aku merasa, kalau aku ingin kesana-kemari artinya aku akan merepotkan orang tuaku karena harus mengeluarkan biaya lebih untuk kesenanganku.

Awalnya, aku tiba-tiba benar-benar ingin bisa pergi ke Kawah Ijen, atau ke Ranu Kumbolo atau naik gunung manapun, namun sayang sekali, Ranu Kombolo masih tutup sekarang ini, sdgkan Kawah Ijen, aku blm dpt banyak massa utk pergi kesana. Tp doakan ttp bs kesana yaa

Nah, doaku kali ini terwujud jg dr arah yg tdk disangka-sangka. Ini adalah pengalaman naik gunung pertamaku, tp mungkin ini lebih cocok disebut sebagai bukit drpd sebagai gunung, karena ketinggiannya bahkan ga sampai 1000 hahaha. Tapi lumayan lah, alih-alih gajadi naik ke Ranu Kombolo, waktu naik  gunung itu aku dpt pemandangan gratis dr Gunung Semeru jg loh.. Untuk yang satu ini, aku akan ceritakan detailnya kira-kira bulan Januari aja yah. Karena, sementara ini, ini masih proyek rahasia hahaha.

Nah, doa yang terkabulkan selanjutnya adalah, di minggu ke-2 Desember ini, aku diajak sepupuku ke Bromo. Jadi ceritanya, waktu akhir November itu aku ketemu sm sepupuku. Kita janjian nonton Frozen II waktu itu hahaha. Eh terus disana, tbtb dia ngajak, "Mbak ke Bromo yuk?" yaampun, kok bisaa yaa? batinku. Ya otomotis aku iyakan lah ajakannya. Aku sudah lama banget pengen ke Bromo lagi, terakhir kali aku kesana, aku inget banget, aku masih umur 17 tahun. Berarti udah 7 tahun yang lalu, dan waktu itu aku sm keluargaku cuma bs naik ke penanjakannya aja. Karena, waktu itu ayahku ngelobby penjaga disana untuk naik pakai mobil pribadi aja, dan waktu mau ke bukit pasir, menurut ayahku, ban mobilnya ga cocok disana. Yaudah akhirnya kita lgsg turun deh. 

Lucunya, kurang sehari dr hari keberangkatan itu, 15 Desember 2019, jujur aku lupa kalau aku ada janji buat ke Bromo. Karena hari Kamis sebelumnya itu mendadak aku dpt perintah dinas di luar kota. Waktu sepupuku kirim chat itu, aku masih diperjalanan pulang. Auto pusing waktu bc chatnya, krn jujur kondisi badan udh mulai jompo waktu pulang itu. Akhirnya, hari Sabtu siang aku baru balik Surabaya. Lalu sampai rumah dr Siang smp Sore aku puasin tiduran. Malemnya, jam 21.00 aku dijemput sama sepupuku. Awalnya, sepupuku berencana brgkt ke Bromo cuma bertiga, aku dia sm adikku Riza. Tp akunya sendiri ga yakin. Mana mobilnya, mobil city car gitu. Kayak, aku merasa ga aman aja kl cuma cewek-cewek bertiga, aku udah lama ga kesana, dan aku juga kondisi ga seberapa fit krn masih kecapek'an. Tapi Alhamdulillah, di last minute, sepupuku berhasil ngajak 2 temen cowonya. Dan beruntungnya, adek-adek ini super kocak & baik banget. Jadilah, hari itu kita berangkat ke Bromo ber-5.

Sebenernya, di jalan itu, ada aja kejadian yang bikin berpikiran negatif. Dr yg mulai hampir senggolan sama mobil freed yang ruesek & ngawur banget nyetirnya. Terus, tiba-tiba pas nyampe di tol Pasuruan, hujan turun lumayan deras. Terus ada kejadian juga hampir nabrak kucing. Tapi Alhamdulillah kita ga kenapa-napa dan sampai rumah lagi dengan selamat.


Hari itu, kita memutuskan buat naik ke Bromo lewat jalur Pasuruan - Tosari. Jalanannya agak sepi waktu kita naik, kira-kira memakan waktu 1 jam an buat sampe di Tosari. Sesampainya di area persewaan hard top, orang-orang disana menyebutnya pertigaan Banyu Petung. Kalian harus terbiasa, karena akan ada banyak orang yang otomatis mengelilingi mobil kalian buat nawarin sewa hard top, jualan topi syal sarung tangan, dan lain-lain. Oh iya, sebelum kalian sampe di Banyu Petung, kira-kira 15 menit di bawahnya akan ada orang2 yang memberhentikan kalian buat bayar uang retribusi (kalo kata guide kita, itu uang buat dibayar ke desa-desa) yang harganya Rp 5000 / orang. Hari itu juga, kita daper persewaan hard top dengan biaya Rp 600.000 untuk kapasitas maks. 6 orang, ditambah tiket masuk Rp 35.000 / orang. Fasilitasnya, kita akan dianterin ke 4 tempat wisata di Bromo yaitu Penanjakan, Savana, Bukit Teletabis, dan Kawah Bromo. Tripnya sendiri, biasanya kalo dimulai dr mulai lihat sunrise, kira-kira selesai sekitar jam 11'an siang.


Alhamdulillah, kita dapet guide yang baik. Pro juga nyetirnya, hard top nya juga ga kenapa-napa selama perjalanan. Hari itu, Bromo tidak sedingin waktu terakhir kali aku kesana 7 tahun yang lalu. Jujur ya, aku dulu kedinginan yang parah gitu waktu naik, suhunya -4 derajat. dan gunungnya bener-bener di atas awan. Nah, mungkin karena waktu di Penanjakan kemarin turun hujan, jadinya ga sbrp dingin dan awan-awannya gaada. Tapi Bromo tetap indah hari itu. Di penanjakan, kita menikmati sunrise sambil makan Indomie. Ohya, buat yang khawatir gimana Shalat Subuhnya kalau waktu lihat sunrise, di tempat aku makan kemarin, menyediakan musholla. Jadi kalian gausah khawatir.

Setelah dari penanjakan, kita beranjak ke bukit Teletabis. Dan buatku, itu spot terfavoritku sih. Cuacanya nyaman banget karena abis hujan sebelumnya. Jadi mataharinya teduh, rumput-rumputnya menyimpan bulir-bulir air, sehingga kerasa sejuk aja.. Selain itu, kalau abis ujan, pasir-pasir di savana nya jadi agak terkonsolidasi waktu dilewatin, jdnya ga sbrp berdebu, dan guide nya pun jadi lebih mudah buat mengendarai mobilnya. Bukit Teletabis indah bangeet, ga kalah sama Swiss kali ya. 


Dan ini adalah spot terakhir yang kita kunjungi, Kawah Bromo. Tapi hari itu, kita memutuskan buat ga naik. Karena udah mulai panas, berdebu, dan kita semua sudah mulai capek hahahaha. Aku sama riza memutuskan buat ngga naik kesitu, biar masih ada yang kita penasaran'in dari Bromo dan kesana lagi sama keluarga kita (alesan hahaha). OK! Segitu dulu! Tunggu cerita dari proyek rahasia & trip-trip ku selanjutnya yaah! Semoga Allah selalu kasih kejutan dalam mengabulkan doa-doaku lainnya. HEHEHEH aamiin

Jalan-jalan ke Umbul Sidomukti!



Haloo para pembaca setia! 
Jadi weekend kemarin, aku bersama sebelas teman proyekku lainnya tamasya ke daerah Bandungan di Semarang. Yang belom pernah ke Bandungan, dia tuh daerah dataran tinggi dan dinginnya Semarang. Jadi kayak Batu sama Malang kitu coy suasananya. Adem!

Sebenernya ini dadakan sih, awalnya yang mau berangkat kesana si cowo-cowo. Terus, di Minggu pagi saat aku baru selesai ambil laundry, aku dipanggil buat nonton tipi (AADC) waktu lewat. Dan diajak lah (dengan berat hati keknya mereka tuh huakakaka) para ciwi-ciwi untuk ke Umbul Sidomukti, dengan satu syarat: Nggak boleh rewel! Soalnya mau nggembel, katanya.. 

Awalnya, dari 5 ciwi-ciwi, yang mau ikut adalah 3 biji. Namun akhirnya kelima dari kita ikut semua, HAHAHAHA dengan salah kostum! Katanya, kostum kita tuh kayak mau ngemall, mana gada yang bawa ganti pula, hahaha, soalnya di Umbul itu ada kolam renangnya gitu yekan.. Terus kita ahirnya balik ke kos lagi bawa perbekalan. Ini penampakan kita.. biar kalo mau foto-foto ada manis-manisnya gituloh maksudnya cuy.





Okey! Jadi perjalanan panjang ke Umbul dimulai jam 10 pagi dengan memesan grab untuk pergi ke terminal. (maklum bukan di kota gede cuy jadi rada ribet yahh). Kita pesen 2 mobil, karena total pesertanya kan 12 orang, sedangkan 1 grab cuman boleh diisi 6 orang. Biaya naik grab dr kos ke terminal kudus adalah Rp 22.000, karena lagi promo "AYOSMG", jd dpt potongan 6 ribu. Mayan kann! Habis itu, kita ngetem bus di pinggir jalan, tapi biasanya emang udah ada bus yang stand by di pinggir jalan itu. Paling nunggu 10 menit udah jalan busnya. Nah, biaya naik bus Kudus ke Terminal Terboyo Semarang ini, biaya nya Rp 10.000. Jaraknya ngga begitu jauh sih, kalo lagi ngga macet satu jam udh bisa sampe di Semarang. Kalo macet dan banjir bisa sampe 2-3 jam. Tapi karena sekarang jalan nya sudah diperbaiki, semoga ngga pernah nyampe 3 jam lagi kitu yah..




Sesampenya di Terboyo, kita langsung imbal naik Bus Trans Semarang. Dengan naik BRT yang cuman bayar Rp 3.500 ini, kita langsung bisa sampe ke titik terdekat ke Bandungan, yaitu kita turun di Ungaran nya! Ajib banget lah, kalo naeknya di terminal, insyaAllah bisa dapet duduk, jadi kalo tujuannya jauh, jangan khawatir yaa! Kalo kalian kepo sama penampakannya BRT, langsung cekidot di video di atas yahh! Bagus lah masih, karena masih baru dan dirawat jg yah. Harus dibanyakin lah transport umum yg kaya gini. Perjalanan dari Terboyo ke Ungaran kurang lebih hampir sejam juga. Dan Alhamdulillah perjalanan lancar & ga sumuk beb.. hehe!

Di Ungaran, kita turun di alun-alun Ungaran sembari istirahat makan dan shalat. Karena aku lagi gak bisa makan/minum, aku hemat uang karena cuman nabung beli jajan (siomay) buat jaga-jaga ajah. Dan di dekat alun-alun itu, ada masjid bagus, jadi enak deh. Setelah selesai ishoma, kita pesen grab buat ke Bandungan nya, karena masih lumayan jaoh dan agak masuk. Biaya ngegrab dari alun-alun Ungaran ke Umbul Sidomukti ini adalah Rp 55.000 untuk 6 orang. Murah lah menurutku.. Karena jalannya naik.. belum lagi kalau macet kayak aku kemarin. Kasihan Bapak grabnya, bisa gak balik modal kitu kan.. Jalan dari jalan utama ke Umbul nya lumayan masuk sih dan lewat jalanan permukiman gitu, jadi nggak seberapa besar ruasnya, tapi sudah di atur jalan masuk dan keluar nya sedemikian rupa, sehingga nggak sempit-sempitan banget, dan kalo provider kalian nggak yang "itu", udh gaada sinyal cuy.. wkwkwk. Perjalanan ke Umbul Sidomukti ini, menghabiskan waktu hampir 2 jam.. jadi kita sampe disana udah hampir jam 4 sore gitu. Sedangkan wisata utama di Umbul Sidomukti tutupnya jam setengah 6. Kalau mau main flying fox, sepeda angin, jam setengah 5 udah tutup. Jadi, kalau mau kesini, mending berangkat pagian! Kalo tiket masuknya sih cuman Rp 13.000 kalau mau main yang lain, nambah lagi biayanya paling mahal Rp 40.000 an.




Akhirnya, kita pulang dari Umbul Sidomukti pake grab lagi ba'da Magribh, dan jalan dari alun-alun ke Terboyo jam 20.00 dengan naik bus. Dan sampe di Kudus jam 23.00.. Overall, perjalanan yang menyenangkan sama temen2 proyek. Akhirnya pergi ke tempat selain mall, bioskop. Walaupun effortnya lumayan banget! Hahaha, the perks of living in a small city! Ngga punya kendaraan sendiri. Dinikmati aja! Okeyy, sampe jumpa di cerita selanjutnya! Stay tuned!

Salam hangat,
R.

November

beautiful scenery at Paralayang and Pantai Gua Cina

Hey blog..
finally i got a free time for awhile, at least it's still 4 hours until i need to do something again. so, I want to fulfill my promise to someone that asked me at ask.fm hehe..

yes, I've been being so busy lately.. my academic and non academic's activities, both kept me running, mostly at this November. I even never spent my weekend at home! So these are what I did last month.. (especially at the weekend)
1) Done one of training's following event at my campus.
2) Done one of my task, went out with friends, slept over at her house, then the next day I went to Car free day, and played basketball.
3) Went to support my major KJI team at Malang
4) Had RAKER and watched Maliq.
and at the weekdays, I had a super tiring school's days because I got such a much tasks, a heavy series of practices, lot of evaluations, and another activities.

It can be a super long story if I should write every detail that happened to me, so I will just tell you the highlight part of it ;-) okey?

So, the training's following event that I've done was called TD Pusaka. I was being an OC in there. Like usual, I need to prepare things that needed, wake up earlier, etc. But the good news is I did it with my other 50+25 friends :) So, the tiredness were paid back by having a good time with them! :) Btw, from that activity, me and my friends have new toy to play, it's called "Break claps". It's a series of clapping hand with different patterns from 1 to 7, and it's challenging because it has a nice and engrossed sounds. Beside that, me and Vio was taught (not-so) privately by someone that I can't tell the name. :p

The next weekend, I had an even crazier days! It happened when my friends, Vio and Bibib asked to finish our Mektek Task together. actually, we supposed to do it at KFC Kertajaya with Hisyam, but suddenly these two girls popped front of my house, and all the plans were changed. At the end, we've done it at my house while eating an ice cream that we bought earlier :) But not so long after we started to do our homework.. we got bored.. and had an idea to go to Sutos instead hahaha! So.. yeah there we go.. SUTOS at 10 P.M!

Guess what we did in there? Yes, after goofing around for couple times, enter the stationery's store, watching people eating, then we end up by entering the cinema, buying the popcorn. And... only...watching.. trailer of films! :p

our sleepy faces
at 12 PM we went back, I had a sleepover at Vio's. It was raining on that day.. and suddenly omik answered my message, so we were chatting for awhile, but he's on busy mode that early morning so I decided joining Vio to sleep hihi. The next morning, Bibib picked me and Vio up! We went to help Icak vend at Car Free Day Darmo. Me and Vio bought socks in there! It was only 5000 and we got two pairs of it! :D So cheap huh, after tired walking around in there, finally we found Icak. Then we bought many foods, yeah! I ate up 1 portion of fried rice and 2 portions of grilled meatballs. Hweheheheehhhhh, so full! :)

After had my stomach full, we went to Basketball court at ITS Sukolilo. yeah, I played for some minutes in there :)) only randomly running with my shoes off.. and it felt hot! I also played free throw ball with Bibib and Vio. So, we had terms that before we throw the ball we should shout the name of someone that disturbing our mind hahahaha. So.. when I got my 3rd turned, I shout Tommy's name. "Ini buaaaaaaat omiiiiik" then I throw the ball, and dang! it was goal! :p But when I told him this story, he said that it was dramatic --" *sobs* yeah.. that's how I ended my crazy 2nd weekend! Woho!

Well..now we got on the 3rd weekend part. It will take too much words to describe the happiness of my 3rd weekend's journey. Maybe, these videos and pictures below would tell you better :)


failed video =))

 
better one =))

our happy faces! finally, beach!


This journey was especially dedicated for our friend Tiara who needs a refreshment because of something :) I hope you won't ever be sad again! After supporting our major's team at KJI and KBGI events, we made our own holiday! Yes, we spent 3 days and 2 nights at Batu-Malang. I was so happy that days, I met some of my high school's friends too in there, they were Hendro, Devy, and Nanda. It was good to feel the nice and cold weather of Batu-Malang (again).. having jokes with friends.. spent the night together.. at Alun-alun, at the car along the journey, etc. Being with the ones you loved and love you, always good, right? :) 

Thanks for the great holiday! As always.. Looking forward for the next! yeyy yeyy

Finally.... I reach the last part! It's my 4th weekend!
So, I have a new activity, I got accepted for being a staff at BEM FTSP, I'm at Communication and Information Department. I dont know how.. but I really liked my job.. It's like I'm not doing anything, because everything that I gotta do.. were my hobbies! Writing.. capturing moments.. editing photos. :) I know, Allah always knows the best. right? alhamdulillah. What's more exciting about it? I met many new friends in there. Hopefully I can get along well with them.. do every of my tasks in here well too.. and be consistent aamiin! 

last day activity.. after sitting for hours in 3 days! hoaam

after finished the raker sessions. Bibib and Vio (again) picked me up! Because we need to catch our interview test at chemical engineering building. Hehe, it was my first time went there, seriously guys after a year! ckckckck. Well.. if you 're going to ask me how was the test going?.. you better not :-) Maybe vio and bibib would answer it better (because they found something interesting in there..hahahaa).

at east coast

After we've done the interview sessions, we went to mosque and had a long chat in there. and at 8PM we went eating at East Coast, and as the closing part of this year's November! We watched Maliq D' Essentials! Woo! I thought, it was a great performance by them, because it has been awhile since the last time I watched a music concert..hehe.. by the way.. have i tell you that Bibib had her birthday on that 30th November? kindly shout "Happy birthday Bibib" yaa! And also don't forget to wish her the best wishes :)

So..that's how my November went.. see you folks! tasks are already waiting for me! bye

Ramadhan Kareem 1435


my life this week in a frame

WHOAAA I must have been abandon my Pile of Dust, right? hmmm, since I've done doing my chores's list, I think i can spend a little time here :)

So what has been happening these past days?
Actually, I had lotta things happened, but much of it, are about went to somewhere either with my family or my friends. It's holiday, so i think, i deserve enough to have it, even- I may deserve more! Hahaha, but however, alhamdulillah, thank you, Allah :)

It almost reach the 2nd week of Ramadhan's month. Times walk way too fast, don't you think huh? But it kinda gloomy at my home, since my brother can't joining this Ramadhan at home, since he has to follow his academic's regulation at Kediri. Also, most times, my daddy is going out from the city to have done his work. And my mommy and sister busy take care of the school's entrance. Pssst i tell you, my sister made a big success, alhamdulillah, she got accepted at 1 JHS (just like me), I'm really a proud sister ever. ;) And that's why,  i feel kinda lonesome most time. And, it's kinda hard for me to go outside, since there's no vehicle left when everyone goes out.

Hmmm, first week of Ramadhan i mostly spend at home, chatting, watching Running Man, watching World Cup at the night, Sahur, reading Quran with my sister, helping mum prepare the meals, cleaning the house, eating, sleeping, praying, picking up my grammy to check up --" Until, at Saturday I went out with Aho and Dinar, yehaa finally we met up after a year, dinar said, it's been soooo long rite? <3

Actually, we wanted to ride on Surabaya Heritage (a famous bus that will take you to some tourist's destination places in Surabaya) from House of Sampoerna. But unfortunately we didn't make it, because we ran out of the places :< So then, we just walked around and take some selfie with Aho's tongsis (nak gahoelz bet dah) After felt content of roaming around in there, we decided to go to Tunjungan Plaza, because Aho wanted to look on some shoes in there. And we spent the whole times there until breakfasting. Psst i didn't recommend you to do this, because it consumed much energies of your Sahur meals, you couldn't find any seats to relieve your legs even for a minute.. haaa :p

The next days, hmm, went quite bit absurd.. I just picked up my mommy to mall. My daddy to airport, with my brother, since my daddy took the morning flight, me and my brother watched the World Cup at car hahaha. And then, there was also The Election day, at 9th July, really curious (as always) about the result. I hope, whatever the result that come out, they will become the responsible President who will listen and care to their citizens.

yes, Fingers crossed.

Go discover some new places

Heyhoo! Feeling good after waking up, Alhamdulillah still got a chance from Allah SWT to breath the air again today, Wish everyone is in a good health of course ;)

Well, I’m so thankful that I’ve been having good pals around, they’re my college’s friends, tehee. I know that we are so kemriyek most time, but I swear ya, we are good kids. we are just have some trouble on holding to not laughing :)) We already had good times together indeed! 

We have schedule on  every Wednesday to try some ‘kuliner’ in our city, Surabaya. In order to not bored for bringing lunch from home everyday. Though, we just only did it for couple times (looking forward for next times ahead yeayyy!), I already had so much funny times with them.

Like… anytime I’m hanging around with them, I could be somebody close to I am. Talk what I wanna talk. Sad. Badmood. Sick. Angry. Makes some jokes till we can’t stop laughing so hard. Shares some stories. Singing with my…ehm..bad voice. Study together. And travel to some places.




On Wednesday two weeks ago, We went to Aiola, since some of us coming from different cities, so they have not been here before. We bought different foods in there, there are Gado-gado, siomay, batagor, mi pitik, nasi goreng, es campur, etc. You only need to pay less than Rp 15.000 to get those yummy meals plus the drink! :9 By the way, we also bought two glasses of chocolate milk and then we drank it together. It’s so ROTFL (even mbak-mbak yang jualan pun ngetawain kita saking kordesnya) Moreover, it’s only a glass that contains of 1 liter milk in there, but there were 7 straws inside, and we must share it for 12 people -_- 

On Wednesday weeks ago, me, derai, icha, and bibip went to Soto Ayam Lamongan Cak Har on Jl. Arief Rahman Hakim. By the way Soto is a kind of soup which colored yellow contains of slices of chicken, white noodle, rice, fried union, and koya :9 Best to taste in warm condition and don’t forget to eat them with Krupuuk ya! :9 By paying Rp 14.000 you could felt awesomely full after ate them! since the Soto is really yummy many and …. presented with so many koya zuurrpppp, haaaa heaven of the world ~

on last Friday we went to House of Sampoerna because Derai haven’t gone there. then we continued our journey to Hotel of Majapahit :D Such a beautiful historical place to visit!

House of Sampoerna (image source: google.com)
House of Sampoerna is an exhibition place of cigarettes producer in Surabaya. Presenting some old photos, furniture, kinds of tobacco, and marching band. There also featured with a digital computer to see videos, photos, and information. On the second floor, there is a place for buying souvenirs and watch the process of cigarette’s making lively! :D

But what most attract us to go there that afternoon is to try the “Surabaya Heritage”, short journey to see some tourist destination in Surabaya by taking on a bus. That friday the schedule written going to Kampung Kraton. Cak Durasim, and City Hall. but sadly we didn’t catch the departure times. Huhuhu. Maybe next time! ;)

Last one is…*drums roll*

The Hotel Majapahit's beautiful view in advance (image source: google.com)

Hotel Majapahit Surabaya \m/ One of historical place that still treated well in Surabaya. A hotel where the Holland’s flag teared by Arek-arek Suroboyo accident held. Place that made Surabaya being well known as The city of heroes :) Providing a view of building in Holland’s era. Old yet so classy ;) You could see some nice parks with fountains in the center of it while walking on its classic corridors. Like..you can treasuring back to the past B) Especially when you enter the rest room…uh baby though it feels a bit creepy..you certainly could feels and see how’s the Holland era in there..hrrrr :))

P.S You don’t need to pay anything just to see how’s inside the Hotel, free parking beybi :)
