Candi Jedong Bike Trip

August 10, 2010.

Kita mulai trip dari Surabaya loading tanggal 9 Agustus 2010 di rumah saya, lalu kita berangkat pagi hari jam 5 pagi di jemput oleh MR.BREWOK dan sepeda di loading di mobil Box dan di supiri oleh MR.YUDI. Sampai di ngoro sekitar jam brapa ya? Jam….7 kurang deh kalo ga salah.

Peserta kali ini adalah Brewok, Hanhan, Hudy, Banny, Irfan, Yan, Dimas, dan Saya sendiri. Perjalanan ke ngoro pagi hari enak dan ga macet kita sampe dan langsung berhenti di ngoro industry dan parkir di tempat parkir truk di lapangan ngoro sana. Nurunin sepeda langsung kita genjot naik ke arah Selatan.

Perjalanan langsung nanjak keatas yah masih kuat lah tapi juga abis juga napas dan tenaga begitu sampe atas karena nanjak banget. Setelah itu ada jalanan OFF-ROAD pasir berbatu langsung menuju ke arah Candi Jedong serta tanya-tanya dengan penduduk desa sana dan juga kepada ibu dan bapak yang sedang bekerja di sana.

Perjalanan gila banyak yang naik banget dan curam sehingga kita kebanyakan juga kudu nuntun sepeda masing2. Terus terang pas setengah jalan ke Seloliman, persediaan air sudah pada habis. Sebelum Candi Jedong ada perdesaan yang jual yah toko klontong gitu deh kecil2an.

Yah setelah itu kita langsung genjot lagi ke atas di sini enak sih jalanan nya sudah ber-batako gitu. Setelah genjot dan genjot terus ke atas kita sampe di daerah Candi Jedong dan kita berhenti dan foto foto dulu di sini. Di bawah ini adalah fotonya:

Berikut tadi adalah foto-foto yang sudah saya ambil dan ada beberapa sih tapi langsung ke FAcebook account saya saja lebih asik liatnya, hehe… Setelah kita mau sampe Seloliman di HUTAN yang sangattt rimbun dan terjal dan UPHILL sekaliiii kita udah nyerah deh karena air sudah pada habissssss….. di hutan sih masihan.. oleh karena itu kita langsung voting TURUN downhilllll dari hutan situ tadi sekitar kita sudah jalan naek atas tuh sudah 2 jam lho. Setelah itu kita turun kebawah.. NAHHH waktu turun tuh asik bangetttt karena lebar jalan di hutannya itu *not single Trek.. asikkk bangettt dehhh…

Berikut adalah videonya:

Ok Berikut adalah beberapa foto yang akan saya sharing di sini:

Just a few photos of me shooting while doing photo shoot in Macau and Hong Kong with our Team of Portrait the Wedding. It was a good trip and we all learnt a great deal of things while we were there. Oh I also bought this new camera, Panasonic LUMIX GF-1 in Hong Kong and I was blown away by the out of camera images. Here are all the images shot by LUMIX GF-1…

Why do people spam greetings?

Decay — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 02:40:55 +0000

I just dont understand why ppl spam your inbox, your bbm, your email with things that were meant for like… everybody on the internet? Say this is Christmas, but i just dont feel the importance anymore *i mean those greetings spam! I know having technologies like SMS, Blackberry messenger, emails, let you send direct messages in an instant at the speed of internet but when you spam, those are meaningless. They become so annoying when you receive the same messages like the other 300 contacts in your smartphone only knowing that those sms/emails/bbm/iphone nudge are those are spam *well I mean not spam but.. ermm. more to a broadcast meaningless shit when that happens!

anyway…. this is no spam… Merry Christmas!

Outing with family…
