Bridge Marine






The past two weeks have been quite busy with going adventures. Last weekend, me and some friends went up again to Bandungan to the Bridge Marine and Flying Fox (again). The flying fox was good, but the Bridge was freaked me out. It was more like a lot of work, energy, focus, especially for altophobic like. Looking down while you
walked on the network was unimaginable. It overall it was okay though I may not try it again unless people pay for big bunch of money.

Wedding Anniversary





For many couples, celebrating their wedding anniversary is a private, intimate, between-the-two-of-them affair. Not exactly with my couple friends, Navita and Udin. To celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary, they invited us to join them for a dinner party. It was lovely, small but still intimate celebration of their love. Since it’s a special moment, we decided to do something different. Unlike the casual dinner that we usually have had, we dressed up for this occasion. We chose this new little restaurant called MySteak, though it’s not fancy but they served one of the best steaks (Yohanes’ taste) in Salatiga. This restaurant is also a good enough place to go for some people who worked really hard to dress up for this special occasion. The food was good, the conversation was hilarious. The dinner was ended with a banana split, a toast and a wishes for their happily ever after marriage. It was a one fine dinner party celebrating the love of my dear friends.

Salatiga View













One of the best thing to live in Salatiga is that the beautiful view of the mountains surrounding 
the town. Wherever you go, you will always be entertained with the lush green mountains and hills,
the trees and the rice fields. It's trully a reminder how great our Creator is.

Another Valentine's Day :)







Another Valentine’s Day

Today is the Valentine’s Day but I didn’t realize it until my friend greeted me with Valentine’s wishing. Earlier this week, I sent Valentine’s Day e-cards to most of my friends and since then I received some e-cards back and some poems as well. But somehow, it slipped through my mind that actually today is the day.

I don’t see that as a bad thing, instead it’s a good thing to not make much fuzz about this day. Being single on Valentine’s Day can be very much a misery. Well, I used to. I now realize that the thing about Valentine’s Day is not just about the love of a couple but LOVE itself in a universal way.

So, this year I’d like to celebrate the day of love of a friendship.

Flying Fox




 
For altophobia like me, flying fox is a scary thing. But when I got there, it was just sooo liberating to be free and away 70 meters above the ground! It was amazing!! 

Bali 2008




I was blessed to be able to celebrate the 2008 new year in Bali again. I spent a week visiting beaches, friends, relatives and restaurants! One of the highlight of this trip was meeting my best friend who just moved there earlier.

Bali's weather was pretty inconsistent when I got there. One time you got a lovely sunny day, the next time you got torrential downpour. But, I managed to get some sun and played around on some beaches there.

A week felt so short, there were still things I'd like to do, people I'd like to meet and places I'd like to go. But the last evening was a great ending of the trip. My best friend, my cousin and some friends went to an Indian restaurant called Queen's Tandoor. The food was great and the atmosphere was very India ;) Definitely a place-to-come-back list. 

Ouch!

Aduh, it's been too long since the last time I write my blog. The more I think the more I'd like to be discipline in updating my blog, especially the start of 2008. Well, I am hoping and I will try hard to keep it update.
