Sumatra Barat: A trip to remember

2015 begins with a public holiday, I actually haven't planned anything for holiday but the suddenly my friend ask me to join their holiday trip and I finally say yes. There're no extra plan or meeting before D-day, in the other word this is sudden holiday.

But before we come to the story let me introduce the people who join the trip
1. Boyke (as the pilot)
2. Susanto (as the co-pilot)
3. Ester (as Boyke's girlfriend)
4. Lydia (as Ester's sister)
5. Julia
6. Magaretta
7. Dessy

We start the journey Sunday, 1st January 2015 around 3.00PM with blue avanza which is borrowed by my friends.

Reach Bukit Tinggi

 Before we reach Bukit Tinggi, we firstly took dinner at the side road villager restaurant called "UWAN" (remember this name because it related to another story later) after eat a bowl of not-so-good Indomie we continue our journey and finally reach there around 10PM, then we walk around a city hall.

The view

There're trash everywhere, and in the middle of it....

There're two girls do selfie!

 

After a short walk and peeing around, we go to gas station (or filling station or petrol station, whatever it called) and stay the night there inside the car, can you imagine how uncomfortable that is?

When all people start to sleep I heard Magaretta who apparently sit beside me starting to vomit. At the beginning I though she only caught a simple cold or carsick because of the spinning route we takes. but then after a half hour she didn't stop vomiting. Suddenly Dessy wakes up because of the vomiting sound, and give us a way to get out from the car, we bring Magaretta to the coffee stand across the petrol station, order her a very hot tea, it didn't work at all, she keep vomiting.

I start panicking and yet don't know what to do. she seems to have problem with the digestion so I buy her a medicine for digestion problem. and yet she didn't even seem better.

I desperately go back to the car seeing Ester who is half-awaken at the time, telling her that something wrong with our friend and I don't know anything else to do. Slowly everyone seems to awake and do what the can for our sick-friend.

At the end, we decide to go back Bukit Tinggi and find a hospital. Actually we have an inter-island tour that morning, we already know that we will missed the tour if we go to hospital but our friend's health is more priority than the tour itself.

When we reach the hospital I am not able to awaken and fallen a sleep at the car. I know that my friend is safe and sound now. so I sleep around 4 hours until she already got into the car again without vomiting. It surprise me that she recover within 4 hours only.

My friend uploaded her sick photo to instagram

Ester told me that when Magaretta wake up, the first things she said is, "Let's go to Padang". That word truly indicated how cured already she was then.

Go To Padang
Then we continue our trip to Padang, first place to go is Puncak Lawang.

For me puncak lawang is not so nice except for photoshoot.


Suddenly they surprise me with a very late birthday party

I am touched and moved, they still celebrating my birthday eventhough it's a bit too late or a way far too early.

Island Tour

We use local tour cost 250.000 IDR/person (if I'm not mistaken). 

This is the reason why we came here for.... THE BEACH~

1. Pagang island

We start with banana boat which cause a tragedy made by Dessy and the victim is Lydia (for the detail please ask the victim). Since then we officialy give Dessy "The Queen of South Coast" title.

Then we continue with banana boat.

After lunch we go on to the next island

2. Pemutusan Island

This island is so overwhelming which perspectives looked like Raja Ampat, you can climb a tiny hill to looked at the whole island and sea around.

So the happiest day over just like that. And the next day we took our road back to lovely Pekanbaru.

2015 New Year Resolution

It's been quite a while since my last wrote. So here I'm willing to write again. lol.

2014 finally over, and for me 2013 and 2014 is such a mess, mostly the things was not going right as what I planned to, go in and out for jobs and mislead myself. But at the same time, I also learn lots lesson of life in this both 2 years, especially how to treat the people and how to face people who dislike me. So thanks a lot 2013+2014 you do the great job!

And the year I've been waiting for 2015 is coming very soon! I am so excited yet so happy because it's goat year in chinese calendar. I hope everything will go better in this year.

For this year I haven't really write my resolution but mainly here're mine:
1. Discover at least 1 new place
2. Learn AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator
3. Doing own business with minimum income 1.000.000 IDR per month
4. More stable in emotion control
5. More pure vegetarian
6. Doing sport at least once per month (this is my last year resolution which haven't accomplished)

So far, that're my goal in 2015. If you haven't made your resolution, I suggest you to make it soon. Because a year with and without target are a far difference. You don't want to regret your year by years because there aren't any improvement, don't you? 

 The experts say:

 

Here a suggestion from my uncle about how to make resolution:

 

 

 

 And anyway, this year I celebrate the New Year Eve at DAPUR&Co. with my former boss and colleague and bestiest. Thank you for the invitation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 EVERYONE!!
