In Love With Jogja


Assalamualaikum. Hey guys Its been awhile since I am blogging about my travel story. This time I went to Yogyakarta (22-26/2/2019). It was all started like miracle. Avadacadabra kechingggg....:D

That night in February 2018, Haneem and I always looking forward to travel together and we dream to explore other country. Well Air Asia does helped us a lot! WE LOVE AIR ASIA!!!! They'd offered free seat and that is what we aiming for. The destination is doesn't matter^^o. After a lot of attempts we found a suitable date and destination. WE ARE GOING TO JOGJA FOR FREE!!!!!



We are ready!!!
Ok la I'll tell the truth. There is no free seat for Jogja. Our flight is heading to Jakarta and we ride the public transportation to reach Jogja. Like gigih right. Its been a year we do the saving like doing part time job after classes. Alhamdulillah it was all worth it. 

Tik tok tik tok. Eh hi February 2019. Cant wait to meet you Indonesia. New semester was just begin but we already skipped classes. Ala seminggu je ><. 

Upon arriving in Jakarta (10.45 am-Indonesia time), we got not enough time to eat break first. We need to ride a train at Pasar Senen Stasiun to reach Jogja. The train ticket is on 11.20 am. Usually it takes an hour to reach Pasar senen stasiun by taxi (Rp 120000). Strike out from the airport without having proper Internet and line straight to the next destination. Tip: grab is far more cheaper. Tip also: Don't buy sim card at the airport. Its too expensive. Traffic in Jakarta is no joke (Pak supir, 2019). Thank god during our ride the traffic was not that bad. After all the cold sweats, we make it to the train. fuhh. 


Hey ninja twins.  

We entered the train with full of curiosity. Once entered, oh ok boleh la. The seat looks uncomfortable for 8 hours journey. It was a long ride. Ours located near to the toilet plus the seat position is like face to face oh whyy hahaha. The ninja look saved us for filtering the air, covering our face during sleeping and prevent awkwardness as we facing foreigners. I was thinking how we gonna adapt for our return to Jakarta later. The ticket price definitely cheap and affordable (RM 70+ return). It was all priceless memory. At least once in a lifetime we tried the ride and enjoyed the uncomfortableness ><. During our journey, the scenery of paddy field and rural residential area was so magnificent. 

7. 40 pm arrived at Lempuyangan stasiun (Yogyakarta) and we not even eat a tiny food yet since morning. Therefore, our Jogja supir brought us to dinner. Our first meal in Jogja was so good. Nasi ayam penyet and Avocado juice with chocolate is the best combo ever. Wait its not only for the first meal, 3 days straight we had Nasi Ayam Penyet all the way. Never get tired of it because they serve different kind of sambal and chicken (roasted, deep fry, celup tepung or etc). Then, pak supir let us bought cheap sim card with Internet and only now we can contact our family. Of course mak bebel for not contacting her earlier^^. That is how our first night in Jogja goes by. 


It's 7 in the morning, waking up in Jogja feel like so traveller ehh nyampah nye. We getting ready for the first destination. Haneem and I were so excited. We spent less than RM 200 for 3 days 2 nights for 2 at Jogja Amazon Green Hotel. The scenery was so nice, calming, had convenient store, restaurant, shuttle and even pool within the hotel area. So, this morning we are heading to Jurang Tembelan, Songgo Langit, Pinus Pengger, and the famous Pantai Timang. We love every moment here especially the fact that we are travelling together alone. Some people said, you will discover your friend's true color while travelling yet just laughter and sweet moments I've remembered. She is definitely a precious best friend of mine. 

We usually come back to the hotel around 10 pm. In order to reach our room, we need to pass through a long, quiet, dark straight road for about 150 meters. Of course Haneem the one who walk at the river side ><.

Pantai Timang

I am treasured Pantai Timang the most because Kwang Soo used to be there hihi #typicalkpoplover and of course because of the superb view and unique activities there we can do. Yes you right. Riding the gondola. The fee was expensive for us so we decided to only ride the gondola instead of the bridge. There are two different owners. So you need to pay separately for both. We rode a jeep to reach the Timang and it cost us Rp350k per head (for 4 people per jeep) and Rp 200k per head and we rode it together. I did recorded the moment we hanging in the air. The extreme excitement makes me a bit scared and nervous. Haneem hugged me tight. I thought she must be super scared. But, she was trying to protect me from falling instead. I teased her for being afraid at first but the truth makes me aww so sweet of you. I hope she wasn't lied to look cool haha><. We skipped eating lobster for the sake of money. I am freaking sad. That is what we looking forward here. 



Borobudur


Gereja Ayam

Its day 2. Hey Pulepayung, Borobudur and Bukit Rhema, Cahneem want to visit you. Rp210k for Borobudur (use student card) and Rp30k for Bukit Rhema. Before entering Borobudur, I was wondered to rent an umbrella as at the peak of the temple might be hot. But Its okay la too lazy and too stingy to spend money. ish ish ish. As we went further up, the sun was intolerable. So freaking hot. But we are too determined to take photos. Never mind we can bare the heat. Until at one point, OH MY GODDD PANASSSNYAAAAAA DONIAAAAA!!! People only depend on umbrella.  It was a penyesalan hidup for not renting the umbrella. We ended up sitting at the side and bend our head looking downward to prevent the heat stroke. Then, continue searching spot for taking pictures. Tip: Do bring or rent umbrella guys. 


Its different at Bukit Rhema/Gereja Ayam. The church's vibe was so romantic as for my personal opinion. No wonder la Ada Apa Dengan Cinta make it their filming location. As by we reached here, we already got our Vitamin C a little bit too much at Borobudur. Our skin was burn. In the church, there were sembahyang places for Muslim, Christian, Buddha and etc. We were like hmmm. Okay la lets get to the top. At the top, The air was so cool and calming, it was quiet. We intended to stay a bit longer but it getting packed with tourists. Its okay the first 10 minutes we enjoyed it alone. 


If you want to take kind of rare pictures, Pulepayung (Rp 15k entrance fee) was recommended. They provided variety of amazing spots for taking pictures (another fee to pay). We tried the hanging bicycle and 'buaian'. It was scary. My picture turns out burukkk haha because the photographer is on the left side. I don't know how to smile from the left side of my face pfft. Its awkward dengan muka dah burn nya. Sumpah buruk haha. K bye.



Tamansari

Its day 3. Halu Tamansari and Malioboro Street here we comeeee. Tamansari basically a water castle. I don't do research so I don't know the history of the castle hihi. 'A' for SPM history subject and the interest in history remain in school hm. It was a beautiful castle btw. Done taking pictures. Lets head to the Malioboro street. There are full of souvenir shops along the road. By the time we were here, I am not feeling well. Due to Borobudur weather, super hot and a bit raining later when we got down. We only shopped souvenirs for our family and friends.


That evening, it was raining at the Lempuyangan Stasiun. Its time to be back to Jakarta. hi again legendary train. Its time to 'butthurt'. We were just laughing when realizing that we need to sit for 7/8 hours straight. On the way to Jakarta, Haneem's air conditioner was leaked. She cant sleep properly. Poor her. Sometimes we sleep on each others shoulders hee. 


Touch down in Jakarta. DuFan (funfair) in Jakarta was cancelled as I am not feeling well ugh. Due to our stinginess to spend money in Jogja, still lot of money left.  We do break first like have have wihuu. Pizza hut twice okay. Then, Haneem wants to try some kind of maggie I forgot the restaurant name. Later I had Koi ad Haneem had Family Mart for drink. We spend the remaining time at the Jakarta airport quietly. Recording and editing videos, updating Instagram and all. The airport was comfortable and nice. 


My comment for the trip? Jogja is a sub rural area (in my opinion), so its hard to find proper toilet which its concerned me the most. But overall, it was sweet memories for us. The food is loveeeee. In three days we enjoying Jogja to the fullest. Oh ya, Don't forget to try bakpia, Jogja's traditional kuih with vary flavors. Bakpia with chocolate flavor is our favourite. Buy directly from the factory is more recommended.  


Till next time. Adios. #Cahneemtraveldiary
