My Christmas Holiday 2011

Finally, after all hard work at school is off. Celebrating christmas and new year at the end of a year. Closing a year always has to be fun and enjoyable not for me only, but for everyone. My big family from my dad and I went to Cikole, Bandung after christmas for a little trip with nature. After all of those crazy days in the capital city, finally!; a trip with nature. To be honest, I prefer nature than the city. Ok, let's starts the story...

The holiday was starting from 27-29 December 2011 in Cikole, Lembang; and 29-30 December 2011 in Bandung city. In Cikole, we stayed with the big family from my father's side (let's just call them the family from Jatiwaringin). Then, at Bandung city, only me and my family stayed because Jatiwaringin wanted to go back home...

Tuesday, 27 December 2011
My family and I left home at 7:20 am from Jakarta. We had to leave early so we can avoid traffic jam. We stop by in km. 72 to rest and take more gasoline. Then we continued our trip. When we arrived at Cikole, jatiwaringin family was still stopby somewhere for lunch. We arrived at Cikole at 11:20 am. When we arrived at Cikole, in our cottage, we unpacked our things. Then we had lunch in Cikole, but in the side of the street. For lunch, I had bakso and mie (meatballs with noodles). After lunch, we waited for jatiwaringin to arrive at the cottage. When jatiwaringin arrived at Cikole, I played with my cousins in the playground. Everyone calm down and did snacking. In the afternoon, the whole family had a walk around the green cold Cikole forest. We observe the came ground and the outbound that we'll do the next day. We went back to the cottage. Everyone took a shower and comes the fun part. My dad and cousins set up a fire camp for the night. My dinner was rice, vegetables, tempe, and tofu. We all had dinner in front of the fire camp. Not so soon later, it started raining. I watched my cousins play cards. I like to see the looser gets painted in their face (for the consequences). I prepare to sleep, and slept...
Wednesday, 28 December 2011
We got ready for going to hiking. The breakfast was fried rice. It wasn't good... :( Ok, the family and I prepared for hiking. We left the cottage. By car, we went up the forest until the end. There, we started our hiking. Our destination was Kawah Domas (a.k.a Domas Crater). It was 1.2 km away from where we parked our car. It took about 30 minutes to reach there. The track and soil in that forest was not too slippery.. When we arrive in the crater, it smelled like rotten durian... The water there was hot. Between 50-100 oC (you get it?). We boiled eggs there. I used the water to wash my skin to make it better. We went back to Cikole. When we arrive back to the parking place, we bought fruits and left. When we arrive back at Cikole, we had lunch. I had mie ayam (chicken noodle) and sweet tea. After lunch and a little break, we went to do outbound. In the outbound, we had a trial to make sure we know how to do it and the safety. I went trying the Blue 2 circuit. It was normal. Then for the first time, I finally did the red circuit (2nd hardest). It was awesome... Then I did few more easy circuits and it started to rain... My cousins and I tried the black circuit (under the rain), but only a quater of it. The tarzan, (jumping from a tree to another) was crazy for me... Finally, we finished the outbound. I took a shower and had some rest. I had the same dinner like the night before that night. We also build a camp fire. We played fire crakers and threw some fire works. One failed though... It started to rain again. We entered the cottage. I watched my cousins playing cards and watched movies. And I slept...
Thursday, 29 December 2011

I woke up and ate fried noodles for breakfast. I didn't like the noodles. I prepared to go to Bandung. Jatiwaringin went back home straight. At Bandung, we went straight to CiWalk (Cihampelas Walk). We had lunch in The Kiosk. I had Nasi Begana, Orange Juice and Serabi. It was a good lunch. We bought few CD movies. I bought Spy Kids 4... Then, we went to Starbucks. I just drank normal milk with mamee. We went to our hotel which was located in Riau Street called Anggrek Hotel (anggrek: orchid). Our room was # 217. We rest. In the afternoon, we walk around Dago Street. We stopby at 'Episode' factory outlet. My mom and I went to Colombia Youghurt Restaurant. I had the original strawberry youghurt. We met my dad and brother in Warung Teteh and had Indomie with egg (noodles+eggs). My family ate roast corn. Then, we went to Riau Junction to the foodcourt-FoodLife. There, I ate beligian wafel. The flavours were blacky and mesh-mesh. I love the taste. We went back to the hotel after dinner and slept.
Friday, 30 December 2011
I woke up and went for breakfast. For breakfast I had koko krunch cereal, egg with sausage, and orange juice. We went back to the room, prepared to check out. We checkout and it was time to go to De' Ranch. There, I did triker. Then we waited for my brother riding the ATV. Finally, we rode the horse with a cowboy costume. It was time for lunch... We went to Baso Tahu in front of Cipaganti Mosque for lunch and finally went back to home sweet home...

So this was my christmas holiday 2011... Thx for reading...!!!

My Christmas 2011

Celebrating Christmas with family was fun. This year, I got presents from both my father's and mother's big family. Those gifts were good enough for me. At 24 December 2011, was Christmas Eve. My family and I worship at Church and went to my grandmother's house (from my mom). We had dinner together with the family but my grandparents wasn't there. But still, I had fun on Christmas Eve. The next day was Christmas! My family and I went to the morning worship at church. Then, we went home to rest first before continuing the day. At noon time, we went to my grandmother's house again for christmas lunch. Not only that, but my bigger family was invited to the christmas lunch. I had lasagna and coconut water. After lunch, we went back home to rest because later we will celebrate christmas with my father's side family. At night, we went to Jatiwaringin (my oma's house). When we arrived there, lots of presents are under the christmas tree already. Before opening the presents, I had dinner which was bakso (meatballs). Later, we open the presents by Opa calling one by one the receiver of presents. I received 6-7 presents from Jatiwaringin family. I had lego, socks, notebook, watch, clock, and etc. That was a nice christmas. A day that happens once a year has to be enjoyable...! Merry Christmas!

Camping at Situ Gunung

I went to Situ Gunung at 10-11 July 2011. I went there together with my auntie, cousins and dad. My mom had to stay at home because my brother was sick. It would be more fun if she joined. Situ Gunung is located in Sukabumi, Indonesia.
10 July 2011 - Saturday:
I left home around 7-7:15 am. We went straight to Situ Gunung. On the way, it was traffic because it was the last weekend of the week for most of the schools so lots of families are going out of the city. We had to past Ciawi, it was traffic. Then, to Cicurug. We went through a short cut to avoid traffic jam. Then, we went to Cibadak. It was traffic! We stop by at a supermarket to buy snacks. Then we continued our journey. At Cisaat, we had to find a left turn to go to Situ Gunung. 6 kilometers away after the left turn is Situ Gunung. When we arrive there, I met my cousins and auntie. I was excited. I was happy to be with nature. There, we went to the camping ground. We ate lunch and unpack things, build up a gazebo and tents. At the afternoon, we walk to a lake nearby. Situ gunung lake. There we did snacking. Then, we visit another camping ground. It was better than ours. There was an outbound and bigger tents. There were trampolines! I wished we would camp there. Then, we went back to our camping ground. At night, we had dinner. Then, we had camp fire. We burned corn and marshmallows on sticks. The marshmallow was crunchy in the outside and gooey in the inside. Then, we slept.
11 July 2011 - Sunday:








At 6:30 am, I woke up and felt cold... At 7 am, we had nasi uduk for breakfast. 8 am we walked to Situ Gunung waterfall. The waterfall was 2 km from the camping ground. It took about 1 hour for us to reach there. Finally, we are at Situ Gunung waterfall. It was tall, about 90 meters. But probably not as tall as Angel Falls in Venezuela. We had photo session first. I just hope my mom was there. Then, we started playing in the falls. It was cold, and full of rocks. Only me and my cousins played water. Later, we changed our clothes and went back to the camping ground. We took a shower and packed up. Then, we had lunch. After lunch, it was time to leave Situ Gunung. On the way back, the highway was a traffic. At home, we met my cousins and auntie for one more time. We played with Bombay, our dog.
Well, I think that's all... The End...!

Then we went back to Cikole. At the afternoon, we went to Ciatar. Ciatar was a place for hot springs. That time it was raining so it was perfecto. But when we entered the pool, it wasn't perfecto anymore. I just knew that the water was salty. So it didn't become that fun. It burned my parents' eyes. Don't feel good in our skin. So we just swam there for a short time. Then, we got CFC for dinner. Then we went back to Cikole. Everyone slept inside the villa.

Bombay

Hello! I'm back readers. Now I wanna tell you about my first dog I had.
It all start at 18 December 2010, I had a new dog. Its type was a labrador retriever. It is a male. It was 2 months when Bombay arrive at our house. Bombay was born at 18 October 2010. Bombay loves biting things. His old name was Igor. A russian name. But we just called it Bombay to remember the times at Mumbai (Bombay), India. Bombay had few sibilings. Bombay was the most active dog between all sibilings. My dad loves active, big dogs. Bombay is an 'active, big dog'. That's why my dad chose Bombay. Bombay is a different dog. My dad wants to buy a dog so we can get use to animals. Because all of use is affraid of animals except my dad. Huhhhh....!
As my opinion, there are positive and negative thingz about Bombay. The positive thingz about Bombay are: he is playful, loyal. And when he is outside and I'm not there, he waits in front of the door. The negative thingz about Bombay are: he likes to bit loads of thingz, jealous to see other dogz that comes to our home. He may also hurt you. So becareful!!! My mom would not let Bombay enter our house. My mom only like toyz or small dogz.

Bombay barks if something/someone annoys him. His bark is madnessly loud! Even I'm scared to annoy him. Or when my dad start annoy Bombay, and when I'm near, I get ready and closed my ears. There are 2 more dogs of my neighbors: Bono and another that I don't know the name. They are both small dogz. Bono likes to come to our yard when we're around. My mother prevers him than Bombay!!! Me too(only 60%). We can't see Bono's eyes. Bono barks rarely. Bono is like a doll. The other 'that I don't know the name' when ever he sees other people he barks, barks and barks. When these 2 dogz barks they are not as 'preety' as Bombay. So my dad call them 'cats'. Isn't it annoying? Oh right! Bark, bark, bark. But I'm not Bombay actually, I'm Patricia! SO SAD!!! Huh....!!!! Lalalalalala...
