R A I S A S H A: October 2013

(2) My Travel slash Heart Mate

June, 14^th 2013

Today around 4am Uma, Retno and Ratih finally arrived at Surabaya. Remember the birthday cake? We plan on surpise her when she entered the room. We prepared the cake and the candle, but we forgot one thing…the matches. So its like a fireless surprise, but I guess it still makes her happy. Alhamdulillah :)

In the morning the guys picked us up and we went together to Anita’s house, the place where the ijab Kabul took place. It will take one post alone, so…save it for the next.

Ah, Its like having a déjà vu. I mean, its been a long long time since the last time I met them. And watching them there, in the dorm, doing thing we used to…our conversation, our jokes, how we bullied each other, the laughter that we shared – each of us have a different style in laughing, how messy the room when we’re around, the make up talk, the freedom to be your own self- crazy, spoiled, fool, anything, the help that given without having to ask. Ah, I realized how much I miss them. Thought we’ve not complete, (Titik in Palembang and Nita preparing her wedding day) I feel so lucky, as an ordinary person..i couldn’t ask for more.

Now please me sit down, watch their happy face and make a mental note..

God, this is the warmth that I wouldn’t want to let go. I thank You for the path you lead me..it lead me to met them. You know how deep my pray for wishing…please, let them stay in my path, and me in theirs. And allow us to be friends til the end. Amiiin.

I miss you girls, I miss us.

P.S. Postingan ini sudah diedit demi menghargai rekan-rekan yang saat ini sudah memutuskan berhijab. Terima kasih :)

(1) First Night at Surabaya

June, 13^th 2013

Dinner time !

Bayu the city guide brought us to Wapo Restaurant. The owner of this place is Anita’s aunty. Ugh, no wonder Anita is good at cooking. Its in her blood !

Wapo Resto - Surabaya

The reason why Bayu brough us there was because…we’re so hungry ! This place is famously known with its cheap yet delicious huge version of fried rice.

So what did we eat? Of course we ordered the specialty, also..we ordered guramekriuk, cingcau and iced melon. I wrote down the details of price and anything on my cellphone, but since its broken..no details then. But I did remember its quite cheap and taste gooooooooooood.

i love this picture !

Finished eating we went to the place where we gonna stayed this five days. It’s a small dorm in front of a hospital. Its quite cheap, really recommended for a poor traveller like me. Its Rp35.000/person/night. The room is small, but AC, TV and bathroom included. After put our bags, we went around to buy a birthday cake for Ratih. Its late and everything was closed except Mcd.

After we had the birthday cake, we went to a park named I forgot. What I did recognized is…Surabaya had a lot of park and their people love to hang out there. Cool.

Its late so we went back to the dorm while Bayu and Atang went to Bayu’s house. Ah, its always a mistake to put me and Mona alone. Its like making two galau person galau together. Haha

My dorm slash my good friend was finally get married. She is the first among us so she surely be our mentor in everything about marriage right now. Haaa, her wedding took place at Surabya, her hometown. During my trip in attending her special day, there's a lot of first-time-things in my list. So happy and fully excited in telling you!

As always, i will split the story into places and event. So, to catch up the long absent, i will tell you first about the coming trip which is by..... train !!

It was really my first time in using real train, not commuter line. And its gonna be 10 hours journey Yay ! Okay..we're using Argo Bromo Anggrek Pagi from Gambir Station to Surabaya Pasar Turi Station. We on the last sentence consist of me, Mona and Atang. The train was good, worth the price. Its my first time using train's toilet and i feel like a fool. Oh, i just knew that they also had kind of steward(ess) in the train. They sell food and some merchandise.

I keep my camera ready so i could capture some unique outside view, but the whole journey serve nothing but this..

So, to kill time, beside eating, talking and sleeping. We're (mostly Atang) taking so many picture in the train. Dont be bored because the object lets say...only three of us.
