My Trips

I had some trips. Some of them were to Jakarta, Bandung, Kudus, Cilacap, Bali, and many more, but I can't remember. I can't tell one of my trips completely, because it's hard to remember all the activities there. So, I will tell the parts of my trips, which are my special experiences.

I went to Jakarta about three times. We (my family and I) visited my uncle's house there. I really wanted to go to Monas, but unfortunately, the ticket was sold out. I didn't really enjoy my trip to Jakarta because there was very hot.

The second trip that I want to tell you is to Bandung. I don't know why, but I just remember about the comfort train, cold villa, Kartika Sari, and batagor. I really enjoyed my time in the villa. It's very nice to be there. And I like Kartika Sari bread, it's very delicious.

The next trip's Kudus. I went to Kudus to attend my aunt's wedding party. It's a nice party. But I didn't visit any tourism object there. And the other ordinary, not special enough trip is to Cilacap. I went to Cilacap with my mother and her friends. I remember that I have ever seen Nusa Kambangan from the boat. I thought that I could see the prison, but it didn't come true. I didn't go home with my mother and her friends, but I visited my aunt's house for some days.

And the last trip that I want to tell you is to Bali. I went there twice. Yeah, we went there to study tour. There are a lot of nice tourism objects. I don't say if I liked the villa, because the bus was more comfortable. Then my favorite objects are Teluk Penyu, Bedugul, and Kuta Beach. In Teluk Penyu or Penyu Bay, we can do many games, but we must pay for it. I like Banana Boat. It's really amazing. The other place is Bedugul. Bedugul is a lake located among some mountains. In Bedugul, we can ride a boat and go to a garden. It's very beautiful garden. In Kuta Beach, I saw the beautiful sunset and took some photos with the tourist.

These are my trips, and these are still in Indonesia. Then, I want to have some trips to the other countries.

English Welcoming Days 2009

On 29th – 30th August, 2009, English Language Education Study Program had an event called EWD. EWD (English Welcoming Day) is an event that welcome the new students of this study program. The event started at 9 a.m in the hall of Sanata Dharma University. First, we sang the jingle of EWD 2009 and did some games. But in this beginning of the event I was not enthusiastic yet. And than the next agenda was introduction of Process. Process is English Language Education Study Program's organization that has many programs. It took a long time. After it we had a lunch and then prepared to go to Wonogondang, the place that we had camping. I felt enthusiastic then.

We went to Wonogondang by bus, I was happy in the bus because I could take a nap there. This trip took time about one hour. We arrived in Wonogondang and directly we felt cold. After all of us had arrived we went to our own tent. The agenda of that afternoon were showing our yell and our talent show. In the talent show, we showed our joke. Cemara and I became a boxer. Some friends became the corners of a boxing ring, a referee, and a host. But something that made me feel confidence with our performance was the "pom-pom boys". My friends, the boys, became dancers with their tempting eyes, feminine make up, and funny movement. I was proud of them. I thought that it was very funny, but the audience was not uproarious like us. But it was not a problem for me, for us. And the show ended at 12 o'clock.

The next agenda was tracking. I hate this activity, activity that takes time in the night, because I am scared with ghost. We were the last group, so we had time to take a rest. Then, it was the time to our group. It was very cold and made us shivering. Then we started this "lovable trip". In this adventure we did some games. Although it was dark but I enjoyed this journey. And in the ending of this tracking, our senior washed our feet, the symbol of their "service". And I appreciate , respect to them.

It was a morning after we had done the tracking. And we got ready to the next activity, outbound. The first game I called it tarzan, but I don't know the real name. We moved from the side of a pool to the other side by a rope. I failed in this game, but some of my friends did it well. The second one is leak pipe. And our group won this game. The third is Berlin Wall. This is my favorite game. We could do it well although I though it was a hard game, and we won again. Next, crocodile. I hate this game. It was a difficult game, we lost. The next game is walk on the bamboo. I like this game, but I fell to the water. But it's ok, I still like this game. The next two games, I don't know the name, and I don't like because it is full strategy games.

And the last one was boxing on the bamboo. The boxing used pillows. I didn't participate. It was for boys. It's a funny one, because there were some incidents and a lot of funny expression from the participants.

I enjoyed the jingle, the tracking, the outbound, the talent show. I love our togetherness, our solidarity. Thanks for our senior that made this event.
