i went mudik this year...yippiieee...senangnya...
we left Jakarta on Monday afternoon after attending Ied praying n visiting some of my neighbors n my father's sisters who live nearby our house...(*we used to call my father's sisters with "uak")
bis shalat Ied niy...
we have this special menu which wak ndut always cook for us..."soto babat+ayam bakar+paru+sambal/sambal kecap" which tasted extremely good....
we left home at around 11AM, dropping by first in Bekasi only for about an hour...then rushed to pass the south coast of Java....which turnes out to be very crowded with lots of vehicles passing through jalur selatan...
Let d journey begins...
seems like my brother tought the same way with other travellers..."ah mudikny ntar aj bis sholat Ied pasti jalanan kosong" dan ternyata semua org aj gitu mikir klo pas Lebaran jalanan kosong..walhasil...jalur selatan padat parah mpe qt harus dialihin karna nagrek padat....dasar "kecoa"...-that's my nu nickname for police officers-...see their uniform..brown..just like cockroaches..hihi..don't tell 'em cuz they will put me in jail haha...
my eldest bro who drive like nuts...hihi...
awalny siy santai y kan?? masih semangat....(*apalagi diselingin ma tahu sumedang pas ngelewatin cirebon....waaah mak nyos klo kata bondan yg wisata kuliner itu tuuuh...sumpah ga ad yg ngalahin tahu sumedang yg disana...aplg cabe rawitnya....hmmm...great...great...great...=P) tapi lama2x kok kynya endless road y jauh bner....mesti ngelewatin Cijapati...-nama desa antah berantah yg ga ad di peta...can u imagine how secluded the place is??- jadi qt tuh ngiterin gunung guntur-well that's my father who bother himself finding the area we passed through...i haven't heard the name of d that mountain-
sumpah jalannya bukit yg sebelah kanan jurang berpuluh2x meter n sebelah kiriny lereng...mampus ga lo?? they don't even have road lights...gokil....semuanya berusaha nutupin parno dgn ngelawak sambil ketawa2x ga jelas...hohoho....
kynya tuh kl nemu ad warung kecil aj rasanya seneng bgt...yup...we're back in civilization...lewatin jalan2x setipe hampir beberapa jam...sambil berharap2x cemas nemuin jalur utama ato paling ga kota garuk ato tasik yg kynya jauuuh bner....
seems like filming indiana jones dey heeee....tooolloooong qt jd korban peralihan jaalllaaannnn.....but akhirny setelah berjam2x mengitari gunung....qt kembali bergabung dgn peradaban ditandai dgn kehadiran pos penjaga kecoa, rmh2x penduduk...lampu2x jalan dkk....(ternyata jalur itu mang muter jauuuuh bgt, qt sempet ngira niy nyasar ga y.....tapi itu jalur yg bner cm itu td....paraaahhhhhh)
ditengah2x jalan nemu plang "Pringsewu" yg menurut rekomendasi dr tmen2x kk gw niy makananny sedaaaappp...aplg sop buntutny patut dicoba....excited dunk...berapa kilo lg...doooooonkkkkk..doooooonnnnnkkkkkk.....ternyata masih 56 km lg.....whhhaaaatttttt.....gokil...mana bisa tahan laper segitu jauhnya....
SeaFood 99 yg ad di daerah ciawi klo ga salah jadi pilihan (krna sgt2x tidak mungkin ngejar pringsewu yg masih entah dmn hee)...which d seafood place turned out to be sucks...(*sambil nyanyi laguny dewiq...BT BT aaahh...BT BT BT BT...) sumpah the foods are crap....ga enak.......hikkkssss...tp gpp lah drpd kelaperan cuz jam10 itu di sana berasa jam12 plus hari itu Lebaran...restoran2x jg pd tutup....
beraaannngkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt...laaaaaaaaaaannnnjuuuuuuuuuuuttt......
a couple of hours later nyampe terminal banjar nurunin dua bocah-tetangga gw-yg mw ke pangandaran...gara2x mereka niy qt ga lewat pantura hee dasar...
Ferry n aDam
yg satu parno abis nelp-in smw org takut ga kedapetan bis cuz dah jam 12 mlm...yg satu lg PD gila ktnya gpp dey tidur di terminal mpe subuh klo bis ny baru dtg jam segitu....nyokap gw yg ga tegaan maksa mereka bwt ikutan qt aj...gw ketawa2x sambil ngecengin..rasakan kau jd gembel tidur di terminal...hahaha...(kbr selanjutny mereka cm nunggu satu jam trus dpt dey bis yg ke pangandaran n sampai dgn selamat...)
qt lanjut melewati jalab=n ular mpe akhirny nympe di purwekerto n decided to stay at a hotel in Purwekerto cuz my bro drove like a Formula1 racer....emosi dy dah ngantuk....qt smw lbh tepatny...
besok paginy lanjut k purbalingga yg ternyata cm setengah jam dr hotel tmpt qt nginep...akhirnyyaaaa...sampe jg....senangnya bs ketemu mbah putri lg....n my long lost relatives whom i haven't seen for quite a long time....
sama aj ky di jakarta...ngiterin tetangga sekitar silaturahmi duunk...kpn lg y kn??hee...
went to my grandfather's cemetery...
went to Strawberry Field (lbh tepatnya siy kebun yg ditanami berbagai macam tanaman seperti salada air dkk tp krna yg paling ngejual strawberry y dnmain kebun strobery" ...yg jalan mw kesanany aj mesti mendaki gunung menyebrangi lautaannn...hee....dan apesny lg nympe sana qt disambut ma hujan...oh hujann...
cm bs ngeliat separo kebun strawberry yg ga ad buah strawberry ny...
kecewa krna hujan yg dtg tiba2x...qt mutusin bwt makaaaaannnnn aj deeyyy turun lg k bawah...di restoran Wapo Pondok Kelapa nmny..(agak2x ga ngejual y nmnya klo menurut gw heee) tp makanannya mantaaapppp kaliiiii......(*mengutip ucapan bedu bulo....)
