Dieng, Dieng, Dieng–A Place Called Home Part 1

See me again yeaaayyy. Entah kenapa kalo abis jalan bawaannya pengen sharing terus, biar yang lain bisa tau tentang tempat itu. Nah kemarenan, tanggal 26-27 November 2012 untuk pertama kalinya gue ga lebaran di rumah (malah di jalan) menuju suatu tempat yang bernama Dieng! Iya Dieng yang itu bener 🙂

What comes to your mind when I say 15 degree Celcius? It must be so damn cold! (in a tropical country if course) So this is it, the 2nd highest highland in the world! Dieng, yep it’s in Indonesia, exactly in Wonosobo, Central Java. IT’s a coincidental trip, honestly. In Friday, one of my friend, Uti, asked me wheter i wanna join her to Dieng or not on Thursday. Well, it’s like “What the hell is she thinking in the middle of mid test? Is she drunk? LOL” But, i was getting curious about it, it’s like my mind is breaking into two pieces, stay in Jakarta or join her to Dieng.
Dieng is a famous place but i havent been there before, and it’s like 4 day off from Thursday to Sunday. After i decided to go there, i asked my parents and they allowed me with my own risks, yayyyy the show must goes on!

3 day before the day come, my friend, Faid, who’s come from Dieng and we’re planning to stay in his house, booked us the tickets to Wonosobo by Sinar Jaya, depart from Pasar Minggu. Well, I was so excited! And coincidentally again, i got a take home test from my lecture to take a sunrise photo for my mid test, it’s like “wow”~!

On Wednesday, i packed my things up, all done, the jackets, cardigan, gloves, mask, warm hat (checked). Im ready to go to Dienggg, feel the coldness~~~

At 4 o’clock, we departed from our campus in Depok to go to Pasar Minggu by angkot, at that I felt that something’s wrong but i didnt know what it is. And damdamdam *drums rolling* i and Uti didnt get the tickets! Fakkkk! I feel soo limp, like, i have packed all my things and the tickets to go there just flew away. Faid and 5 of his friends who came from Dieng got the tickets, but they’ll stay stand and they offered me to buy one but i wont go by stand up for almost 12 hours. A super no! I know that im a lil arrogant but i just dont wanna sacrifice my feet and butts to pay full but stand huh So it’s ironic when the bus’s gone, but I and Uti still stuck in Pasar Minggu. Faid said that we can take the bus to Purwokerto first at the terminal, and then find a bus to Wonosobo. Well, at first, i became a lazy one, like a hopeless girl stuck at the terminal.

Hm….. After we arrive at the terminal, we asked to the people in there and so many tickets to Purwokerto have been sold too! Super duper hectic! but they said, that D*wi S*i Bus will be departed at 7 pm, and it’s the last bus, so we must hurry! And we got the ticket though it’s more expensive because tomorrow is Lebaran Eid Adha. Because I was so tired and confused about where to wait, i got an idea to wait at the Dishub office lol (good idea right?) The people were soo nice, we’ve been guided about the real condition in terminal and bla bla bla. At 7 pm, we’re preparing to take the bus because the bus’ll be departed, and we thanked them sooo much for letting us stay in their office and they said to always take care aaw so sweet.

So we took the bus, take a seat in number 31-32,ugh it’s souncomfortable, so narrow. I can put on my knees 😦 the traffic from jakarta to subang was the worst!! we’re getting stuck about 6 hours, can you imagine? There’re a lot of people who didnt get a seat, so they’re stand up or sit on the floor, yeah that was malam takbiran (night before Eid) so everybody wanted to go to their hometown.

At 9am, we finally arrived in Tegal, had a transit there to go to Purwokerto with another bus, but the free bus fro De*i S*i was sooooo full of people, even it’s the non AC one! Gah how could i spent 3 hours by standing to reach the destination? So we waited for another bus, 3  bus have passed and they all full of people! Look at the watch and it’s 11am, Goood i feel so disappointed with the services, when i asked to the people in that agent, she asked us to wait for another bus, ugh, would I? No!
I finally went to the back of terminal and grab a bus to Purwokerto, it cost 25,000 rupiahs or 20,000 rupiahs (Kurnia) and i do feel better because im getting closer to the destination. In 3 hours we finally got there, and took a bus to Wonosobo, named Cebong (Im serious) We got a seat, but there’re a lot of people hopped in to the bus and it fees like the bus will be explode in no time. So not human since the driver always took the people to get to the bus, what’s he thinking? i feel soooo emotional and the time ticked soooo long!!! Ugh i cant imagine how’s my face, my skin, never feel the water in almost 20 hours!
One by one passengers already reached the destination, but it feels like forever to us, my head felt so dizzy, hungry, thirsty and all the bad things happened to us T___T The bus which’s so full like it’s gonna explode finally left by the passengers, and we’re 6 left in the bus (both of us and another passengers). Finally at 4pm we finally arrived in Wonosobo. Can you imagine how free it was?
Like it didnt meet the end, we had to take angkot once again to reach the market where Faid’ll pick us there (Faid has arrived in Wonosobo at 8am, pity us). I really feel so nice because the weather is so good, and it was cool, in real meaning. About 10 mins finally we arrived at the market and we waited for Faid because he said that he was on his way. Not a long time finally we hopped on the car, we’re introduced to his father and lil brother, Adit. Nging nging nging because i was sooo tired, so i fell to sleep in no time, and when i opened my eyes, it’s raining.. Feel so cold, really cold.

My Future

 
What things that cross your mind when you hear or think about future? If it’s me, i would say; abstract. Full of surprising and magical things. When I was kid, I spent my right brain for imagining a lot of fairy tales that my mom’s told. But since I was a teenage girl, it’s all non sense. Live happily ever after (?)
Now I’m a college student, I used to think with my logics and rationality. And now here I’m, on my way to my brightest future. It’s really surprising when I look back to the past, Allah SWT always gave me so much miracles that i couldnt ever think. And I feel so happily with those unexpected givings that I can’t even mention one by one. Just one word, alhamdulillah.
 
I got this picts and when i think first, it’s cute. So I sent it to my phone. I wanna explain it by my sight :
1. A relationship between two opposite sex in teenage level (school or college). They fell so shy by each other but deep inside they’re so happy that they could find each other.
2. They have a same point, they wanna finish their study first and handle their relationship by understanding each other. They’re so glad that they can finish their study in the same time. Maybe they think that study is the first priority. (Damn! I love this part!)
3. They’re finally an official couple!!!! It must be took years to get to this step. But if you decided to marry, you must be ready to have extra energy and money of course.
4. Uh this’s the sweetest part. They have a baby! Yap a cutie baby :))))
So, what do you think with your future???
My Future

Missing You

Maybe one month is a brief time, but i dont feel the same. In a month, you have 30 days, 720 hours, 43.200 minutes, 2.592.000 seconds and so on. You have your weekdays and weekends. Maybe it’s hard for me to have a long distance relationship because it’s the first time. But i dont wanna make some hectic things. We keep all the things and promises and memories that we have. I trust you and you trust me, just it. So simple. But it’s not “that” simple. The challenges are always come. But with all the challenges, we can keep our relationship as strong as the power of challenges that wanna break us. I’m sure that we can keep it–together–we can.

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.  I miss you like hell.  ~Edna St Vincent Millay
