I'll see you at the end of Java

Long weekend..Looooong weekeeeeennnddd!!!!!!!!!

Hellow everyone, a week ago I just got back from a really amazing trip on my long weekend.There is anonymous said work hard play harder..So there it is, a 3 days and 2 night trip to Peucang Island!!

Why called it an Amazing one? After all the rush and a lot of preparation, not to forget that you had to drink the anti-malaria a day before, we left Bogor at 5 am and drive head to Sumur,Labuan. According to an "inceredible" time keeper, we're gonna reach Sumur at 1 pm and have a nice lunch and enjoying Peucang. But, God's said : No..not that easy my friend.. Then with a lof of "are we there yet?" question and bored to sleep (can you believe that WE tired to sleep??!@#$), we arrived at Sumur at 3pm, a little bit clean up and we ready to set foot on the ship at 4pm. The Capt said it'll took 3 hours to reach Peucang.But then again, God's said : No..not that easy my friend :) The ship's muffler got burned and we're stuck in the middle of Java sea until 9 pm. Its grateful anyway, how often did you get to lay on the deck at night, with sea breeze and sleep beneath a thousand glorious stars to stare all night long. Touchdown Peucang at 9pm and theres nothing we can see but the house on stilts. As we pack to the room and got bath, we had our lovely dinner served by the best Peucang's chef,Mr.Odah. Cant wait what will happen in the morning. 

Peucang's finally said SURPRISE to us in the morning. Step outside the house you'll gonna meet dozens of deer, a wild boar family and the monkey,,yes there's a lot of monkey!!Then we saw a really really reaaalllyyy beautiful beach of Peucang. I tell you my friend, as far as my age now, the best beach of an island that i ever saw is Kayu Angin island at Pulau Seribu, but this one's is really can compete with that. Its blue, clean, clear, and you'll always cant found any waves, but you surely gonna see a thousand of school fish!!AMAZING isnt it!!

This trip truly adventurous for us, we got to doin' some amazing  2km tracking cut cross the forrest to reach Karang Copong and its white sands beach,saw the deer and peacock and hornbills in a wild forrest, had a lunch with a hungry stare from monkey and wild boar, canoeing to Cigenter to observe rhinoceros and wild bulls, not to mention to always feeling insecure while canoeing since theres a lot of estuarine crocodiles and poisons snake. 

we are truly enjoyed this trip. We're being served like a king by the forrest official, eat properly and sleep well. We reaaaaaly dont mind to get to this place again :)

 see, I've told you the beach is beyoooond beauty

SECOND EVENT. *yay!!


So, at 29th April twenty-twelve, we finally gather and executed the 2nd event of LUMAKU fo.  This time for Putri Bunda. Got myself super excited for this main event because I did fall in love with the kids since the first introduction, a couple weeks before the due date.They really are easy to mingle and very very active. Could be because all of these resident are young women between the ages of 7 to 16 years old. Anyway, after a couple weekend meeting, lot of hours to rehearsal at night before, and not to miss the miss-communication, eng.. ing.. eng..VOILA!!! 

We arrived right on time at Putri Bunda's and straight run the rundown. Teaching and sharing about rhetoric, mass media, entrepreneurship and  kind of gardening - which in this case we both know that maybe they're smarter than us..they did the gardening thing every week - . First we thought they'll be bored and just listen. But, they really seems passionate and fascinated. They even prepare a dance routine and sing in front of us as their appreciation. The big mom of the house also being super kind and enjoying that moment. At the afternoon we played some games and it got more interisting and fun at the photo session. They really momentarilly uncontrolled and cant wait to take a picture with us. To be truth, at that exact moment, we do felt like superstar. With the grabing, the hugging and their quarreled with their friends to be photographed first.So super super supeeerrrr exiciting!!!!

as they really enthusiasm sharing their facebook account with us, so at the end of the day I voluntarilly write down all their facebook name. And when I checked out my own facebook to upload some phot o at the next day, they already friend request-me first. That made us stay connected till now :')

ah we are so happy. Exhausted all paid off. Even some of us gotta work on Monday, we don't mind!!! All smileeeee form ear to ear :)))) *Grin*. Maybe our Lumaku's really a small scape foundation, but I do believe we're gonna do great someday!!! amien!!

see you at next event...*yay*
