My Special Day

On Thursday, May 6th last year it was my special day in my life. My parents invited me and my brother went to Guci. It is my favorite tourism resort located in the feet of Mount Slamet,close to Tegal, my hometown. It takes about an hour to get there by car. Because of the weather was heavy rain that makes the road was wet, my father drove carefully.

After we arrived there,we took a rest sat in near of a small waterfall. We had walked around by feet for a while. We swam and played in the hot water swimming pool that were good for our skin. More or less two hours we swam there.

We felt hungry after swam, then we looked for lunch in Padang restaurant on souvenirs market. Surprise for me, without I guess before, my parents invited my girlfriend that they known before. She went to Guci with my sister in law by bus. She gave me a birthday cake and gift, I was shock and very happy. I did not believe it before, it was unforgettable moment for me. Of course, we were not want to lost the moment, we took some pictures together.

Soon, after we were finishing our lunch, we went to the parking area. Got the car and return went home.

My Holiday in West Sumatra 2008


On the month of July in 2008 I went to West Sumatra for my holiday destination and it was very very moving experience for me specially the Minangese people it self was so friendly and always smile at you.

I arrived at the BIM Airport but don’t remember the date, and then pick up my rental car and start driving my rental car toward Stinjau Laut Road heading toward Muaralabuh Solok Selatan and on the way to Muaralabuh which is only about 3 hours driving from City of Padang. I stop my car some where on the top of Stinjau Laut Road on the side of the Road wanting to know the view from the top of Stinjau Laut Road and it was amazing experience to see all the view from the top and I stop there for while and start taking photo's with my Fuji Fine Pix S9500, I reckon I took heaps of photo's while I was there.

And then I continue my driving toward Alahan Panjang and stop there for a while and also took some photo's while I was there and then after that again I start driving toward my destination Muaralabuh and I tell you what it was wonderful driving on the way down to Muaralabuh and the scenery it was so beautiful, I love it and breath taking. Stayed in Muaralabuh for about three days and visit the area every where while I was there. On the fourth days I'm driving heading toward Solok, Batu Sangkar, Padang Panjang and Bukttinggi and stayed the night in Bukittinggi in one of the Hotel. At night, I went to see Jam Gadang and other places which is not so far from where I was staying and it was again wonderful experience meeting the lovely local people.

The weather at night it was so nice and not so hot, I love it there in Bukittinggi, could not wait going back there again in the near future. Got up in the morning the next day had some breakfast and coffee and start driving to Payokumbuah toward Harau Valley. I don’t remember how long it took us to get there but we arrived there about lunch time and again I took a lot’s of photo's again. In the afternoon driving toward Pariaman to catch the amazing Sunset and I got lots of photo's just for taking photo's from the side of the Road.

Going Back to Padang via Maninjau lake, by the time we got to Maninjau Lake I was so tired and could not wait to go back to Padang and have a rest because the next day I have to fly out to Jakarta. Arrived in Padang in the evening and have something to eat and after dinner we went to visit the Siti Nurbaya Bridge and also other places in the area near the Padang beach and by this time is already about nine a clock at night and my body is telling me to go home and go to bed and get ready to go to Jakarta in the Morning.

Anyway, the experience that I have while I was in West Sumatra something that I would never ever forget for the rest of my life. Could not wait to do it all over again hopefully soon.

The Legend of Nyi Loro Kidul

The domain of Nyi Loro Kidul, the legendary queen of the South Seas, is Parangtritis in Central Java. Her hair is green and full of shells and seaweed, and, she holds court over sea nymphs and other creatures of the deep. She is venerated and feared by the Javanese. In fact, they never wear the colour green when entering the sea for fear of offending Nyi Loro Kidul whose hair is green!


The legend of Nyi Roro Kidul herself is very popular. Before turning into a nymph, Nyai Roro Kidul was a young princess named Dewi Kandita, the daughter of King Mundangwangi and his first wife. The popularity of Dewi Kandita and her mother Dewi Rembulan was beyond doubt. They were known for their beauty, kindness and friendliness, and people loved them.


However, the misery of their lives began when Dewi Mutiara, another wife of King Mundangwangi, known locally as selir, became green with envy and grew ambitions to become the first wife, thereby deserving full affection and attention from the king.


Dewi Mutiara’s dream came true when one day she bore the son that the king had long been yearning for. Through the assistance of a witch, Dewi Mutiara made the king’s wives Dewi Rembulan and Dewi Kandita suffer from ’strange’ disease, with their bodies covered with scabies that created the odour of fish. The disease led them to be sent into exile in the forest where later Dewi Rembulan died. After a long, hard and helpless journey, the scabies-covered Dewi Kandita eventually arrived at a beach where she met a young, handsome man who promised to cure her illness.


At the request of the young man, Dewi Kandita chased after him as he ran along the beach. When she reached the water, the man disappeared and, to her surprise, all the scabies had disappeared but, strangely, she could not move her legs. Half her body, from the waist down, had turned into the body of a fish.


Since then she became a sea-nymph, and the locals believe that Nyi Roro Kidul is the manifestation of Dewi Kandita.
