Five Funturous (Fun and Adventurous) Days to Remember

5 days to remember is my story telling about my trip to the beautiful place called Karimun Jawa. It has the most beautiful underwater view I've ever seen so far.

My trip started on 27th April 2012 until 1 May 2012.

Lets start the 1st day story


April 27th 2012,

April 27th 2012 was the day I was gonna start my very first experience as a backpacker. Yippiwww.
At 6 in the morning, I already wore my backpack (actually is not my backpack bag, I borrowed it from my boyfriend :p) and carried a sling bag filled with a lot of snacks, as many people suggested me to carry a lot of snacks.
This trip did not begin in the morning, because I had to go to work first.

It is 3 pm already,
Together with my office mate, Rya, we were stopping the taxi to go to Lebak Bulus Bus Station. Ok, I know that it is supposed to be a backpacking travel time. We should use bus to go to Lebak Bulus Bus Station, but considering the fact that we were a beginner here so let start the backpaker thing later :D.

Around 4 pm, we already arrived at the Station. Condition at the station? Really uncomfortable and scary. As we started enter the station, the panic feeling came. So many mas2 came closer and asked about our destination, what bus we were gonna use. Maybe it was the same feeling felt by Yuni Shara when people asked about her breaking relationship with Rafi Ahmad. They were so annoying!!!

Successfully passed all the annoying Mas2, we entered the Bus station. It is quite a big station coz there are a lot of buses with many directions parking in there. Accompanied with a hot sun shine, we went to the place where Nusantara bus parked. Nusantara Buswas the bus we used to go to Kartini Harbour located in Jepara. Because I want to use a Bahari Boat which is available in Kartini Harbour, it is a new boat that based on its pomotion, it only takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to cross the sea to Karimun Jawa. In fact it took... , ok I'll tell you later. :d

There were 3 more of our friends that already waiting at the Lebak Bulus Bus station, Wina, Upi, and Abe. Yes, it is a story about five crazy people trying to have fun in Karimun Jawa.

While waiting the bus to depart, the five of us (actually it was the four of us, because Abe kept telling us about the advantages using Nusantara bus) did an observation about the best bus to go to Jepara.

Here are the conclusion:

If you wanna go to Karimun Jawa and wanna use a boat to cross the sea from Kartini Harbour, we suggest you to use these 3 buses, you should know upfront that it was a conclusion from 4 girls who never be a backpacker before the date of 27th April 2012. Hence, let me apologize first if we chose the bus based on silly reasons. :D

#1 Bejeu Bus,

Yes, the bus name is Bejeu which I dont know what the meaning of that bus. The thing that I know that this bus provides a wifi connection in it. Can you imagine that for 12 hours trip you can do browsing, tweeting so many things, updating foursquare, or even streaming youtube? Ok, I guess it sounds that I am a person who really cant life without internet. In fact, I am not really that kind of person. I hope so. :D. Besides the wi fi connection provided by this bus, there is also a coffee table and two flat tvs in it.

From that picture you can clearly see the wi-fi symbol right? :D

#2 H. Hariyanto,

Yes, once again I confirm you that the name of the bus is, H. Hariyanto. At the first time I heard this bus name, I also doubted it. I also made a silly imagination, if my friend asked about the bus I used to go to Jepara, H. Hariyanto was not a cool name to be said. Then, my dear friend if there are some words said that Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover. At that day, I wanna say to you that Don't Judge A Bus by It's Name. I know that Shakespeare was right when he said What is in The Name. I should've heard him. ;p
H. Hariyanto is a black bus with cool and tough design. If it were a horse, it'll look like a black horse. It is a dashing bus. Too bad that I forgot to take a picture of this bus. Sorry.

#3 Nusantara,
Compared with the name of those previous buses, Nusantara is the name of a perfect bus. It is a blue bus, it has one flat tv. It provides a blanket in each seat. It was the bus we use to go to Jepara and it had a nice driver who was willingly stopping the bus at Kartini Harbour instead of at Jepara Bus Station.


Let me tell you the funny thing about using Night Bus. A night bus usually has two drivers in it. Since it is a long road to drive, so it is supposed to have an alternate driver. These two drivers must have a same professional skill. Why I use the word professional? Coz I think it is the best word to describe a driver driving a big bus as if he drives a mini cooper.

Based on my experience, they never had any doubt to pass all the vehicles in front of him.They did not care if it was a truck carrying a dangerous gas or it was a big truck carrying six expensives cars.They had a spirit of winner in their mind, to the the first bus on the road might be their vision. :D

Using the night bus, really train my heart to keep beating no matter what my eyes see. The thing I never forget was the fact that each time I tried to enter the dream area in my sleeping, that was the time the driver suddenly stepped the brake coz he almost hit a truck in front of him. Oh Baby, it is not scary at all. Because the scariest part was this thing happened so many times until we arrived at Jepara. Can you imagine what kind of feeling we have? Undescribable! And this was just a beginning of our funterous trip.

Long Time No See, Dear You

Heyho, My dear Blog.

Sudah lama sekali sejak terkahir aku menggabungkan kata-kata menjadi kalimat lalu menjadi paragraf dan menjadi satu bacaan di dalam blog ini. Bahkan tadi sempat bingung buat mulai mengarang di blog ini, bingung mencet tombol yang mana yaaaa.

It's been a while since my last writing.

Dulu, aku suka sekali menulis. Dulu, setiap ada kata yang terbesit di pikiran langsung buru-buru buka blog buat nulis. Walau cuma satu atau dua kalimat jadinya, tetep aja di post, di publish. Dulu, aku juga seorang manusia yang berbeda dengan sekarang. (ya iyalah yaa)

Pernah ga sih kita berpikir, kalau seiring berjalannya waktu manusia pasti berubah. Maksudnya ga secara 180 derajat berubah (bisa aja sih inim untuk kasus tertentu terjadi di beberapa orang), tapi ya pasti Perubahan itu ga bisa dielakkan lagi. Kalo kata kerennya sih ya, Change is Inevitable. :p

Waktu yang tanpa kita sadari diam-diam menggiring kita ke sosok yang baru.

Dulu, kamu yang ga bisa bangun kalo ga di atas jam 9 pagi, sekarang semenjak dapet kerjaan jadi selalu bangun lebih dulu dibandingkan alarm yang kamu pasang waktunya di malam sebelumnya.
Memang sih ini hanya perubahan kecil, tapi bukankah sesuatu yang besar itu dimulai dari yang kecil.

Waktu juga yang membuat perubahan kecil itu menjadi besar, misalnya dulu kamu punya teman yang sama sekali ga suka sama yang namanya cabe. Lalu, selang lima tahun berganti kamu ketemu dia lagi di warung bakso (tulisan ini emang dibuat malam2 sih, jadi tiba2 kepikiran bakso aja *elus2 perut :p) dan tiba2 aja dia menambahkan 5 sendok sambel ke dalam mangkoknya.

Yakin deh, pasti kamu langsung pengen komen: "Kok tumben sekarang lu suka cabe? Sejak kapan?"

Kenapa sih harus ada kata2 "kok" di kalimat kamu? Kenapa kamu terlihat shock dan ga terima gitu? Sampai harus menabahkan kata "kok". Seperti yang sudah dibahas sebelumnya, perubahan ya tak terelakkan dan bisa terjadi sama siapa aja.

Kita, sebagai manusia dan pelaku yang sering berubah ini, ya harus bisa menerima itu dong. Untuk setiap orang yang berubah, tandanya dia bersosialisasi lhoo. Dia menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan barunya dan mengadaptasi hal2 yang menjadi dasar perubahan yang terjadi. Ga usah mencela ataupun ga terima ya kalo teman kamu itu berubah.

Kalau dipikir-pikir, kenapa juga ya bahas tentang perubahan di blog ini. Ya jawabannya kenapa ngga. :p
Aku cuma mau ngingetin ke diri sendiri kok, kalo perubahan itu amat sangat wajar terjadi.

Change is inevitable. Change may happen to anyone anywhere.

For the one who has changed, I'll try to understand the new you. As your friend, I promise to not ever citisizing your changing, coz I know that you are trying to be the part of society.

Good Night, Good People.
