Tur Budaya

Day 1
I couldn't be calm to wait the day come. On April 20-26 all eleven graders went to Bali. We went there by train. We divided into 2 kloters. I was in kloter 1. At noon i arrived at train station, i was dropped by my mom. She waited me until i took the train. After waited so long, we started our trip. I sat with Nuraulia, but we mixed the seat. So i moved to other seat, and my friends too. It was night, i coudn't see anything thorugh the window. I really enjoyed the trip even sometime i felt so cold because the temperature was so low. Fortunatelly, my friends borrowed me his jacket because i dind't bring mine. In train, we couldn't sleep. We spent time together. I saw my friend played cards, chatted, listened to the music, and read books. I played some games, such as "garuda ada lima". It was so funny, i couldn't stop from laughing. Oh the train was so noisy. Because the trip by train was so long, finally we tired and fell asleep with low temperature.

Day 2
And i woke up. I saw  some of my friends still sleep. We were getting near to Surabaya. I took a pray in train. After that we breakfast in train. The sky was sunny, i could see the scenery through the window. Few hours later, finally we arrived at Surabaya. And then we took the bus based on class. I sat with Aliyya. Not long, finally we arrived at restaurant to have lunch then continued our trip.

Before we arrived at Gilimanuk Harbour, we ate dinner in restaurant. But before crossing the island, we had to wait our turn. At bus all of my friend getting bored. Then our tour guide turn on the music and played a song "Heroes". It was so crazy, suddenly we stood in the bus, then jump, just like we were in party! We shouted along the the song "we could be herooooooo-es, we could be heroo-es me and you... we could be!" then jump. Oh we were so excited. I will never ever forget this moment. Luckily the tires of the bus maybe was strong. It could withstand the shocks.

After that we crossed the island to land in Bali by using ferry ship. It only took abou 30minutes. And finnally we landed in Bali. Then we directly got in the bus and continued the trip. At midnight we arrived at Nirmana Hotel. I share room with Aliyya, Ahsani, Nuris, and Elvina. Because i felt so dirty, before sleep i had taken a shower.

Bandung Spot, "Bukit Moko"

Not many people know this place . But for citizens of Bandung and surrounding areas, places with this 1500 meters high above sea level is a tourist location that is so familiar. Because of the height , this place is crowned as the highest peak of Bandung City. You can see a clear view of the city of Bandung here.
 
There is no public transport through here, the only way is use a private vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, car, or if you want, you can walk to get here. This hill is located in the area around the Cicaheum Station, straight road up to the above named Jalan Padasuka, continue straight up to the top, well, that's where the Mount Moko is located.

When you trip to the Mount Moko , you will see a place called Caringin Tilu . Why it called Caringin Tilu? Because in these place there are so many large banyan trees, and in Sundanese, banyan called Caringin. Caringin Tilu can be said is a place where young people  spend a weekend. Actually, the place is just a street that on the right-left there stand so many food stalls where commonly used by young people as place to gather. Young people like to gather in this place because of its height and here Bandung looks beautiful.
 
Up to the top, the way you through will turn into a rocky road. After passing a rocky path, you will reach the highest peak of Bandung, Mount Moko . In this place you will find a stall named Warung Daweung. Daweung stall is the only food stall that stood here and very suitable for enjoying the beauty of the city of Bandung. Daweung in Sundanese means daydreaming . So this stall is a place to daydream. But instead of daydreaming, better you see the awesome view of Bandung from here.

Tips:
1. If using a car, use a bit high car, because of the rocky route. Do not use saloon car because you will surely hassles.
2. If you traveled by foot around 3-4 hours , if lucky you will get a lift from the citizens. However for the preparation, bring enough snacks.
3. Come before sunset, you will get two moments here, sunset, and at night you will see a lot of light sparkling from Bandung City.
4. Whatever vehicle you use, make sure in good condition.
5. Bring a jacket or thick cloth, as the temperature can reach 15 degrees Celsius.

Song Review

Actually my favorite singer since I was in junior high school until now is Taylor Swift. But now the additions are The Script, and Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Maroon V. Now I will tell the review about “Man on Wire” from The Script. I choose this as my first song review because right now I like to listening to this song, I repeat again and again and never get bored.



I don’t know why, but whenever I listening to The Script’s songs my heart usually touched. The lyrics are so deep. I don’t know if it only occurs to me, my friend don’t like it as much as I do. It’s because I’m a kind of a poetic maybe.
The other my favorite songs of The Script are The Man Who Cant be Moved, Breakeven, Glowing, Nothing, Six Degrees of Separation, and Never Seen Anything Quite Like You.

By the way, I will tell you about Man on Wire.
It’s about a guy who loved a girl so much. But some case made the girl leave him. And then he became so desperate. He had never thought before that she would be bad for his health cause of her disappearance. Then he think “Yesterday’s love is now tomorrow’s regret”. And then he can’t even look down, he fight to forget her and all the memories. But every time he saw her, he fell again. That’s made him was like walking on a wire.

And here’s the lyric…

Man on Wire

Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire
Who would have thought about the cause and effect?
Yesterday's love is tomorrow's regrets
Now I know, now I know
I'm just a man on a wire


No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you
'Cause I feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope



My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire



Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know, now you know
I'm just a man on a wire



But I walk that line
I try to keep my senses
Make it to the oher side
I know the consequences and
I feel like I'm walkin' on a tight road



My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire



The higher I get
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets
Now you're not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down



Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you,you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you,you
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
