I left my boarding house at 7.30
am, after I took my breakfast at morning canteen in front of Al-Ikhlas mosque. I
ride my bicycle faster to visit LPPMP UNY. This Tuesday was our second
excursion, the first excursion was two months ago which we went to Kulon Progo.
Mr Soekarno (his name like Indonesia`s first president), one of our lecturers, yesterday
said that all of participants of ITP and IELTS have to gather in campus at 7.30
this morning. I continued my way to campus. I though that I will be the latest
one, but my perception was totally wrong.
When I came to campus, there were
not many participants here. Many of them were late. I joint with my friends in ITP
class. I met Rosa with her new style dress, using the blue shawl. We were
discussing about our progress to apply our campus target. She said that she
accepted conditional offer from Wollongong University (Australia), but she
still doubted because she just focus on her ITP preparation. Meanwhile, she
has to attach her IELTS to Wollongong, even to conduct IELTS test too
expensive. Rosa, Bg Ade, and I were close friends when I joint ITP class in two
months my time in Jogja. Bg Ade back to his home town yesterday, so he couldn’t
join us. Sometimes, three of us went to many places like Malioboro, Taman
Pintar, and Tamkul. I moved on the third month to IELTS class, but we kept
contact each other even tough lack of intentional meeting.
Mr Budi (an assistant at P2B UNY)
collected us to give some instructions. He said that we will go to Tawangmangu waterfall
and Sangiran. Both of them were in Central Java Province. Many of us smiled to imagine the awesome moments today. Personally,
I was happy because we will visit Sangiran, where Meganthropus Paleojavanicus was founded. I just heard for a long
time in Social Science (IPS) books when I was grade 4th elementary
school`s student. I wonder and enthusiastic, there were many historical places
in Java Island, especially in Jogjakarta or Central Java Province that we have
to explore.
There were 3 buses ready for us,
include lecturers and instructors. The first bus was provided for ITP class A and
C, second bus for ITP class B, and third bus to IELTS class a and b. I decided
to join my ITP friends in the first bus. The lecturers and instructors were divided
to guide us in each of bus. We started the adventure at 7.10 am while the bus
drivers did their job.
Our buses stopped in Tawangmangu tourism
place at 1.00 pm. Muslims participants took wudhu to pray zuhur and ashar respectively,
we were jamak both of them. We conducted pray in Mushallah near in parking lot
area. After pray, we were given the lunch time by the instructors. There were so
many people around here. Bg Rudi and I went to the mini restaurant to lunch. Some
of my friends ride the horses after they have lunch. Many of horses were
provided to rent by the visitors.
When all of us have done of our
lunch, we walked to waterfall. It was really awesome. There were many down
stairs to go to the valley. We enjoyed closer to the waterfall. The location
was like in the jungle. Many people, child and adults came to this place, not
only the waterfall but swimming pool and out bond arena like flying fox also
provide here. I just wonder, There was a tent to serve visitor to sing dangdut
songs. The dangdut music sounded around this forest. I closer to the source of
waterfall, like rainy, made my dress wet and I should cover my bag. Some of my
friends and I went to adult swimming pool. Here was so amazing, cold water,
fresh air, and not too deep. We enjoyed our time to swim here. If you not bring
your boxer, you can rent with only Rp 2,000. After swimming, Each of us went to
changing room to take a bath and change the clothes. We went to up stairs to
find our buses.
The facilitators counted us
before we go. They said that we were canceled to visit Sangiran because it was
too afternoon. It was realistic I guess. There was no complaint among us about this decision. We started to
back to UNY at 4.00 pm. In my bus, it was very different. There were funny stories
as our jokes to enjoy situation. We were
laugh free and “bully” each other, but there was no emotion or anger. The bus
stopped in batik shop to facilitate who want to buy the true batik. Many my
friends and I just to wait in the bus, we continued our jokes.
We arrived in UNY about 8.00 pm. Each
of us looked so tired and sleepy. After said good bay, we backed to our boarding
house. I felt so happy, because traveling not only refreshing our mind and finding
something new, but also bounding our friendship and family. I love my friends.
