I feel lively right now. IT has been 1,5 years since i got back to Indonesia, and right now, i feel like i am back from dead !!! Selama gua di Indonesia, i got no proper job. I feel like my live is useless. Kerja bingung, pengen bikin rencana sesuatu mengenai business, selalu aja di tentang ma orang orang sekitar... Sering gua ngerasa, apa gua gak fit in ma orang orang di sekitar gua ini...Yang salah tuh pola pikir gua ato mereka seh..Semua gak jelas..Bias...Emang bener klo orang bilang, benar ato salah itu tipis perbedaannya, sering kali kita di buat bingung dengan pemikiran kita dan orang lain mengenai apa itu kebenaran atau kesalahan. Anyway that s not the point i am writing this blog at this time..
Hari ini gua happy, sekarang gua ada di Bandung. I came here 2 days ago. The purpose of me coming over here is to do business. Well, gua ketemuan ma Matthew hari ini untuk melihat lokasi tempat disini , di geger kalong. And i was pretty worried if he would say that i didnt like the place..but it turned that he liked the place. Waktu gua bilang itu ke oh rony dan agatha. both of them said " wah, berarti dia seleranya rendah tuh". Emang bener, sometimes we dont realise how much we got till we lose them. Mereka gak tau, klo rumah tempat depan yang mereka gak gunakan selama bertaun taun tuh bagi orang lain memilik potensi besar yang bisa di pakai untuk menghasilkan uang dan berproduksi.
Anyway, after all da conversation with Matthew..gua semakin semangat dengan business ini. I know, not many people in da family understood wat i am doin and put a lot of interest toward this business. But, i am so excited and i could see myself running this business. And most important for the first in my live, TODAY, i feel i woke up from dead.. I got semangat lagi untuk berkarya dan bekerja.. It s not all money, but to make my dream come true and showing up to people and myself that i could do something great. !!!! Lebih lagi, setelah ngobrol dengan Matthew this arvo, I sent messege to Pak Kus, untuk membahas mengenai kuta galeria. And guess wat, I am meeting up with him tomorrow morning at his place. !!! so excited..I dont know what will turn out from the conversation tomorrow, but at least i am trying and i got chance to try it tomorrow. !!! wonderful ay. Right now, i got heaps of plan a head my for next year !!! I am excited and i hope everything goes allrite. !! thx God. !!!
I just got back from Singapore.. Taking my dad for a check up.. I was with my sister " j Ephie and my Mum this time.. I enjoyed the time overthere a lot..Singapore has been one of my favorite country... But sometimes that i realize right now to compare Indonesia and Singapore...
It s "Ironis" Indonesian people said...Coz you know, when you are in singapore...Yes we can see so many beautiful buildings and decoration in mall or hotels...It is actually the same with in Indonesia. We got millions of fantastic looking buildings and luxury restaurants or hotels in Indonesia. But this is the different.. In singapore, there is not much different between the inside and the outside of the building.. You know what i mean.. In indonesia, we can enter a room or restaurants or hotels and we completely in different world inside it. BUt once we get out to the street or even just one step out side of the door, we can feel the heat, we can see dust, we can even see beggars and all the messiness of live out there. "Ironis" when some people can enjoy a heaven and millions of others stay out there in hell. A hell of poverty. Those who can feel the complete heat from the sun, those who are not able to pay for even cheap food, those who feel cold at night coz they dont have place to stay and live. While others are enjoying luxury live, luxury food and feeling warm of the blanket in the 5 starts hotel rooms. IT s a pity how live is so imbalance here in Indonesia... something to think about...to give thank to GOd for all we got.. And really we need to make a change right now in Indonesia. !!!!

After that, We all ( me , eny and other CS from Bandung) went to walk around in Jepara..visiting different place overthere, from Museum Kartini, Makam god knows who, and having shell at the city centre...
The next day, all of us meeting up with other Couchsurfing at da port to catch ferry to Karimun Jawa... 6 hours on da ferry to get there..gosh..that long aye..but, luckily i stayed at VIP..so, no hot hot hot ..hehehe.. i had a good sleep and chat with others..so, 6 hours waiting was so fast..!! and when the time closer to , we all got so excited ..Karimun Jawa is looking so good from da very..I know this island is different..Its clear, no polution and def remote !!! And surely, once i got there.. I can see the water was Cristal clear !! YOu can see the bottom of the ocean..I have never seen that kinda sea before in Indonesia..not even in Bali..!! We were all so excited, so we made our way down to the ferry..and ofcourse taking pictured on the pic sign of "Welcome to Karimun Jawa" ..
As soon as we got there.. we straight hit the beach..finding the beach was not hard..The beach we went was perfect..the water calm, clear, the sand was white and soft..and the water was warm!! It million times better than swimming pool..!!!!
We finished to day with barbeque near the beach..!! of course the whole day was full of funny pictures of all of use which i will never forget.
Second day was a tiring day. We were all jump to the boat to do island hoping. !! visiting 4 different island : Pulau Kecil, Tengah, Sintok and Menjangan Besar. All those island was amazing..still da same ..clear water, warm and da coral and fish were so gorgeous. !!!! fun day eventhough I got sun burn like most of us..!! oh yeah, on da last island, we got a chance to swim with shark.!! real shark..but vegetarian..hehehe.:) of course not..but, it s just save..!!!
After dinner, we went to visit shops and back to the port ..WE were all talking to each other and did stars spotting..!! saw a couple shooting stars..That was kewl.. and took some funny pic..
Last day was sad, coz we had to leave to our cities.. Great fun to meet all of them.. But yeah,...off from ferry, I joined with Cs from Jogja and Semarang..Coz i need to go to semarang to get my laguage that i left it at Ela s place. !!! We took public bus to go to Semarang..catching up with Ela then cought Joglo semar to Jogja..

And the friendship that we made at CS was more than money we spent ..!! 3 Days was a wonderful day to know and share other people who got da same interest and passion on travelling..!!! Definitely i ll Support Coushsurfing all da way..!!!
I just got back from Karimun Jawa .. Man, that island is a definitely a must visit island in Indonesia. It s located just north of Semarang/Jepara. How could i ended up goin there? Because of COUCH SURFING GATHERING from all over Indonesia.
Well, my trip started from the 26th of October. I went to Jogja to attend Borobudur Travel Mart in Semarang on the 27-28th Oct. The travel mart was great.. Gets me excited with da whole hospitality business again. - u know after more than a year i was kinda lost in this industry, losing my passion and all...- I met heaps of people from all over da world and Indonesia...Talking with them and sharing passion about travel and hospitality industry...!!! So, yeah I stayed at Horizon..although i had to spend heaps of money to cover all da expenses of my and my staff from Gombong ( suruhan bokaP)..huh!!! :(..
Staying In Semarang was fun..I used that time to catch up with my old mate "Ela". It s was funny and coincidence, on da day when i met up with Ela at Horizon hotel, i met Yoppie (other school mate) on da lift of the hotel. So wow...that was so kewl..we did meet up for all of us for meal. !! great catching up i tell you..so, i decided to stayed at Semarang for a few more day till da day to go to karimun.. ( i canceled my plan to go home and staying in Semarang instead)... da 3 of us went to Lawang semu, having a beer and playing pool..!!! heaps fun..i was lucky i got friends all over da place.. Really..that s wat friends are for..lol.. not to give u free acccomodation or meals..but IT s more that, you know u have someone who care or friendly to use to the strange place u never been..!! It was nice..
