Aku sebenarnya malas nak buat report. Aku just summarize kan je la trip aku kali ni in point form. My trip went like this :  Magelang (Candi Borobudur) – Dieng – Jogjakarta. Here it goes :-

1. Nak masuk Candi Borobudur, entrance fee utk orang local adalah 10,000 rupiah. Utk foreigner adalah 126,500 rupiah (USD$12 or RM40) seorang. But worth it.
2. Kalau nak masuk Candi Borobudur dengan harga orang local, korang kena la pakai pakaian mcm orang local. Hahahahah.
3. Mie Ongklok & Sate Sapi (sate daging lembu) kat Wonosobo sangat sedap sekali!
4. Dieng Plateau/Tanah Tinggi Dieng (around 150km from Jogjakarta) is super duper cold. Mcm dok London plak. But the view was marvellous!
5. Water heater asyik rosak je kat dlm bilik mandi. Terpaksa mandi dgn air yg sejuk mcm ais!
6. Asyik hujan je kat Dieng. Yang peliknya, everytime kitorang turun dari bas or keluar dari rumah penginapan kitorang, mesti hujan. Dah masuk bas/rumah, tak hujan plak..hahaha..
7. Kopi Purwacheng merupakan air rasmi kami terutamanya untuk mereka yg sudah berkahwin. Tapi malangnya utk mereka yg bawak bini masing2, tak dapat tidur sebilik utk 3 malam pertama. Wahahahahahah…
8. Mukti, our young tour guide is so cool. Pak Sumar, our tour guide in Dieng is so cool too.
9. At Dieng, walaupun kawan2 aku yg lain pakai sarung tangan, snowcap, stokin sejuk & baju sejuk untuk mengelakkan kesejukan, aku masih lagi selamba memakai T-shirt dgn jeans dan sandal Crocs aku. Wahahahahahh.
10. Jalan Malioboro in Jogjakarta is like heaven for shoppers.
11. I called Jogjakarta as bandar kesenian, byk gile graffiti.
12. Hotel Berlian kat Jalan Pasar Kembang in Jogjakarta sucks. Avoid that hotel please.
13. Warung Lesehan Cak Koting membuat Ayam Goreng & Bebek Goreng yg enak banget!
14. Makanan di Dieng membuatkan aku rasa lain. Tak boleh masuk tapi kena masuk gak lalu membuatkan aku asyik nak ke toilet.
15. At last kat Jogjakarta, aku dapat makan yg menyelerakan. Pheewww!
16. Aku agak menyesal sbb dok satu malam je kat bandar Jogjakarta. Tak puas!
17. Dapat berjumpa dengan Hany, teman di Jogjakarta. Dah hampir setahun kenal thru friendster & YM. Sangat baik dan peramah. Really appreciate your company! And she gave me a Rencong, sebuah keris Aceh as a gift. Very nice!
18. Sepanjang trip ni, all 13 of us naik chartered bus dgn dua pak supir. Both of them mmg cool!
19. Batik Keris di Malioboro sangat murah compared to Bandung & Jakarta.
20. Last minute shopping di Ambarukkmo Plaza (Amplaz), baju Polo Ralph Lauren ori for RM150 for 2 t-shirts.
21. AirAsia seperti biasa selalu delay.
22. Nasi Lemak Pak Nasser dlm pesawat AirAsia dah tak sedap mcm dulu.
23. Nasi Ayam AirAsia sedap pulak.
24. Aku beli Teh Sosro Celup (teh uncang) banyak2.
25. Teh Botol masih menjadi pilihan utamaku di Indonesia.
26. A worthy 5 days experience. Would love to go there again someday.

Breathtaking view. Candi Borobudur di belah kiri tu.

I always have this curiosity attitude. It seems that I can’t get away from it. I’m curious for my surroundings. People, situation or anything in this world. Sometimes being curious is good as you tend to know something to get some knowledge. But if we become too curious, sometimes we can make some people uncomfortable or even making some situation even worse. When we’re curious of something, we tend to ask and ask and ask to get info. Some people feel that it’s not comfortable and it’s not right being asked again and again and again. For me, depending on the person. Some people do like being asked like that as they might think it’s a positive thing.

Lately, I always been curious about something. I felt something is not right or something is happening and I’m not so sure about it. It leaves me some curiosity that make my mind think too deeply and distracting my life. I wish to end this as soon as possible. This curiosity is quite bothering me as I tend to act abnormally.

Tomorrow, I’ll be leaving to Yogyakarta or Jogjakarta, from 9 – 13 February. I’ll be back by Friday nite and I guess I couldn’t do just like what I did on 13th Feb 2008 last year at nite. I wish I could do it on 14th February 2009 after the audition.  Promise!?… It’s kinda weird that I’m not so keen to go to Jogjakarta like I used to like last month. I don’t know why. But hopefully it will be a great trip for all of us. Upon arriving at the Jogjakarta airport, we’ll go straight to Magelang, where it’s near to Candi Borobudur.  2nd day, we’ll be heading to Dataran Dieng/Dieng Plateau for 2 nites. Then on the 4th day, we’ll be heading back to Jogjakarta and will be staying near the famous Malioboro street for one nite. I will take lots of pictures, that’s for sure, if I’m in the mood..hehe

So,  I just got my car yesterday. Feels great. Take a look at the picture below.

Ok tak?..boleh la kan…asalkan boleh gi memana sudah.

So, cya guys next week. Till then…
