So, This Is Holiday (season 1)

AAAAAAAA holiday is almost over. Only a few days left :( :( Can't imagine that this holiday will be changed by ASSignments soon, very soon literally. If you're a 9gag-er you'll say "Holiday, Y U NO more longer?"

On this holiday, because my lil' sister felt so bored at home, my family and I went to other places outside Jakarta. This place called "Magisit Kareumbi" in Cicalengka (between Kabupaten Bandung, Kabupaten Sumedang, and Kabupaten Garut). For more clearly, from the brochure and web there's an explanation: 

Pintu Masuk Blok KW. (Cigoler)
Ditempuh dengan route jalan Bandung – Cicalengka – Sindangwangi – Tanjungwangi – Blok KW. Jarak kota Bandung–Cicalengka ± 30 Km, menggunakan jalan raya propinsi atau dengan kereta api. Dari Cicalengka menuju Sindangwangi (± 13 Km) dengan jalan beraspal hotmix dalam kondisi baik (2009), dari Sindangwangi melintasi Kp. Leuwiliang menuju pintu masuk Blok KW (±2 Km) berupa jalan aspal kelas III dengan kondisi agak jelek dan sempit.Dari pintu masuk menuju blok KW ±1 km jalan berbatu makadam dengan kondisi agak jelek. Lokasi KW dapat dilalui dicapai oleh kendaraan roda empat, truk tentara dan bis mini (30 seat).


To reach our "Rumah Pohon", we have to through a little forest


In fact, this place want to make the tourists fuse with the nature. In here, we can do such as, tracking, hiking, canoe, and see the deer-breeding. We will fee like live in the forest with a lot of trees, grasses, mushrooms, etc.


Mushrooms on the tree

And if we want to sleep, there were places called "Rumah Pohon", with very very plain facilities. Never imagine that we will sleep like in the hotel. In this "Rumah Pohon", there weren't any electricity for charged our gadget, no TV, no AC, no springbed, no bathroom inside. They only provided floormats, sleepingbags, and petromaks lights and conventional bathroom outside the house. Literally feel lived in the nature :D

But.... Because we went at the rainy season, we could doing nothing in there because rain, rain, and rain every time :( So, we only 1 day in there, and continued our trip to Bandung. Actually because I have studied in Bandung, I feel no excited to go there in this holiday. People know Bandung as a fashion and food city. Many factory outlets and distros in here which are visited by people, from Bandung or outside. And also many restaurants which have variatives menus. This time, beside distros and restaurants, we went to "De Ranch" at Jl. Maribaya No.17, Lembang-Bandung. De Ranch is a vacation place for family (especially children), who wants ride a horse with low price but beauty landscape. They make the visitor feel like a cowboy :D

Beside riding horses, there are many facilities in here, such as stands of food, flying fox, panahan, ponny horse, trampolin, balon air, cook n cookies, cow-breeding, etc.

Happy happy happy. Happiness was fulfill that day :D And after that we went to Karmel, also in Lembang. People usually know Karmel, or Lembah Karmel in Puncak, pilgrimage place for Christians. But in Lembang there's also Karmel Chapel, place for Christians people to pray, not recommend to pilgrimage.

The Witch's Attack in Bandung

Hahaha the witch not literally the witch in fairy that we heard in our childhood. The witch is nickname for my friend who studies in Australia. She usual  calls 'nenek sihir' or 'cacing centil'. Hahaha however she is my friend. And during my last week of school, which means there's super duper many ASSignments, she came to Bandung and sleepover at my kost. She came to be my baby sitter and had a duty to cheer me up.  And do you know what we did? We played make-over!!! Hahaha something we never did before. And this is the result :D




Here is 2012 :D

Finally here is 2012, which is a very curious year. Suku Maya said that in 2012 would be the end of this world. AAAAAAAAAAA is that true? Can't I marry someone before the end of this world hahahahaha. Forget it. Yesterday was last day in 2011 and it meant there would be a lot of fireworks wohoooooo :D Every year at the end of year, lots of people will burn lots of fireworks, and the night sky will change color from dark to colorful :D And every year I feel so excite to capture that moment.
