Lebaran Means Liburan

Started by spontaneous asking, our eid holiday had begun. In the Friday Pray, my friends asked me to go to Sukabumi. I inevitably accepted that invitation. I starved for the holiday. I need fresh air, new story, new experience. Moreover, I hasn't been playing with my neighbors for quite long time. It was great time to strengthen relationship with them.

They planned to go to Sukabumi using motorbike. Usually, I rejected this kind of crazy idea. Nevertheless, I think it will be memorable experience for me. I used Rudy's motorbike and he drove all day long forth and back. Though I didn't drive but my ass can't lie. Sitting on the bike for more than 5 hours is literally not comfy.

We reached the location around 1 a.m. Actually we didn't book any hotel before going to the Sukabumi. We had two options. The first one was staying in house of Rudy's sister. The second one was staying in the hotel that my friend (Ojan) don't know exactly the name and location of the hotel. Ojan had stayed in the hotel where the location is nearby the vacation spot. However he forgot the name. He just remembered that the name is Vila Tanpa Nama. It is literally Villa Tanpa Nama. It just sounds so horrible. In the middle of the night, we asked some people where the Villa Tanpa Nama is. Sounds like in horror movie. Apparently the Villa Tanpa Nama has been changed to Villa Araya and the room was full at that time. Therefore, we decided to stay in the motel nearby the lake.

After sleeping, we woke up and went to the lake. The name is Danau Situgunung. The lake is absolutely amazing. It seems like in Africa or Amazon. I really love that spot. And the sun was so friendly to me. I confidently present some of picture which captured by me :)

AND I LOVE THESE SCENERIES

The second spot is the waterfall. We spent around 30-60 minutes to reach the waterfall. Arrived in the waterfall and I saw many people scattered everywhere. It just too disorganized. It was hard for me to find good spot to capture beautiful scenery.

This is my favourite picture in this spot

When we wanted to back to motel, we ordered some Ojek (Taxi Bike). Because some of us was tired already. We paid for IDR 30.000 per person. When we take the motorbike, two of us using the same motorbike. So, there are three people on the motorbike (driver and two of us). Previously, we thought that the price is expensive. However it was so worthed after seeing the track. It was so dangerous. The track is full of mud, wet soil, big rock and the space is less than 1 meter. Beside the track is the the gorge. It was so awful.

After taking a bath, having a lunch, we went to house of Rudy's sister. The distance is around 10 kilometers to our motel. We just took a rest and in the night we went to the cafe. We back to Jakarta in the third day around 1 p.m. We stopped for enjoying durian soup in the first stop and also for late lunch in Bogor. We arrived at house around 6 p.m.

It was tiring travel yet exciting :)

Wedding of Dhania & Abi

This year, I got the full package of wedding project. Full package means I do not only capture of the wedding day but also photograph the engagement day and prewedding. The wedding day is our last series for this package. I would say this project so enjoyable comparing other wedding projects. I just feel that everything was easier and everything goes well. Our client, Dhania and Abi was so cooperative though they still give us positive and constructive comments.

I would say thank to Bella and Joshua as the videographer, Rizky as the video editor and Yudha as the second photographer. Finally it's a wrap! :)

Prewedding Star Wars

Prewedding photoshoot is not the new thing for me. I shot some prewedding pictures since a few years ago. However this prewedding is quite special. The reasons are that the groom (Tezar) is bestfriend of mine and the couple is so cool. Both of them love star wars. I recommended some of concept and we did the photoshoot.

I would say thank to Coky as fashion stylist and second photographer, and Ammer as production assistant.

Eid Day 1437 H

What is the meaning of Eid Day for you? Is it new clothes? Is it family gathering? Is it cookies time? Lebaran should be interesting because we gather with our big family. However, I don't know why, as the time goes by, I'm not really interesting with Eid Day. A few years ago, we still visit many numbers of family. This years, the number of family, uncle, auntie who need to be visited is decreasing.

These are some snapshots of Eid Day 1437:

Anyway, unlike the previous year, I print the Eid Greeting Card and send to my mates through post office. This year, I distribute the e-card through WhatsApp, LINE and other messengers. Some of my mates commented about this card. And this is my e-card for Eid this year.

What's your opinion? :)

Birthday Surprise of My Silver Year

Most people said 25 is our silver year. I face the phase when I need to be more mature logically and emotionally. This year, thank god I have many good friends who gave more attention for me in my 25 birthday. The two surprise wasn't actually in the June 27th, but in a few days later.

Dinda and Dera asked me to have a K Organizer meeting. Honestly I expect surprise will happen, because templately, we will have a meeting after one of us birthday and we make a surprise. It was as shocking as the past years, but it still made me happy. The weren't only Dinda and Dera, but Sandy and Qbill as my close friend came as well. I would say to Dinda, Dera and Desi who gave me great bag. Finally I had it :)

A few days later, Ziyad, Zainal, Reza and Hamzah gathered in Grand Indonesia. We usually do this kind of thing to support and motivate each other. We share our current updates and our future goals. When we want to back to Home, some of them already ordered a cake in Colette Lola. Thank god for all of this good things.
