We are breakfast first before we going travel arround Singapore…

Ok guys….Next posting…I will tell you about my travel in Singapore….
Thank you….See you…:)

One month before…I got call from my sister, she said that my mother and my aunt will come to see me in Malaysia for one week…only. And they also want to go to other country near to Malaysia, like Singapore as well as Thailand. So….I prepared everything for them one month before they come, and you know…actually I don’t know about everything in Singapore and Thailand, because I never go out from Indonesia before. This time, stay in Malaysia for 8 months is my first time go out of my country….IndonesiaH.

I collected information about hotel, transportation, interesting places and currency each country that we will visit, from internet and my friends, Mrs. Haizana from Malaysia, Miss Esther from Singapore and Mr. Ma from Thailand. After I know about everything and then I calculate the expense of our trip, because of our money and time is finite….so I decided that we will visit Singapore, Thailand only Hatjay (South of Thailand) not Bangkok, and of course Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Penang).

Finally…I made planning, the first we will visit Singapore, and the second is Penang (where I am stay in Malaysia), and after that we will going to Hatjay to shoping because everything cheap in Hatjay and finally we will visit Kuala Lumpur. Maybe that is make them tired, that’s why I informed my mother and my aunty before they come, to prepare theirself to doing though journey.

This is my first experience to make journey out of my country. And this experience is good experience, exciting.

And I am also survey for my journey. Before the day, I went to Kuala Lumpur (because I stay in Penang, it is 4 hours from Kuala Lumpur), So…actually I don’t know much about Kuala Lumpur, I just know about Penang only…:)









This is LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal). So far I know…the LCCT is special for Airasia plane. So…remember…if you travel to Kuala Lumpur with Airasia so…your arrivel is at LCCT not at KLIA.












This is international arrival. This is place my mom and my aunt arrived.


This is one of the bus bring you to LCCT from KL Sentral as well as KL Sentral to LCCT.


This is the schedule from KL Sentral to LCCT. You can choose Your time suitable with your flight. The bus provide since 3 am to 9 pm.









This is Kuala Lumpur Sentral, The familiar name is KL Sentral. This place is integrated complex that houses the main railway station of Kuala Lumpur.

If you want to go to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur by train, you can choose KTM from KL Sentral. You can go By bus also, take a time is 6 hours and by train take a time ten hours. But by bus is not comfortable to sleep. So…I decided going to Singapore by KTM, Ekspress Senandung Malam, ADNS Superior Night. This class provide bed room. The price only 42 RM (Ringgit Malaysa). I selected time at 10 pm, so my mom and my aunty can sleep in train.



You can acces from internet, and you can browsing about price and order the ticket by on line. Just follow the instruction or you can direct call and you can get your ticket. Easy…and you can choose the schedule you like. The ticket is not expensive, depend on what kind of class you choose.

The KTM station is on the second floor of KL Sentral, you can take your ticket on the floor.


Don’t worry about public transportation in Kuala Lumpur, many bus, taxi and train provide for you, where ever you go, you can use it.

Ok…That’s all my survey in Kuala Lumpur, and the next I will tell you about our journey.

I Love You Mom

“Rin….Who is person that you love in this world?”

Of course my mom, I answered, I love her than anyone in this world, I would sacrificed for her, I love her with my heart and soul, only her that I have in this world, my history began from her, I am not neglected the others, but that is true. I would die for my mom, Oh God…just take my soul, don’t take her, I need her.

“Rin…Is that way you love your mom?” Absolutely….yes I am.


My mom just ordinary woman, not parliament member, not woman activism nor politic party activism. But she is my hero, she has extraordinary struggle, made her children success without a man beside her, a man as fill in her husband that was pass away when their children in university. She arranged the money from her husband account. Extraordinary wife….


She born in Cupak, Solok at 8 Juni 1940, Grow up in Cupak with her parent with religious condition. She finished her study in Padang and be a kindergarten teacher in Cupak-Solok. She met with her husband, actually her neighbor. Married with him and follow her husband. Be a good partner till her husband pass away and after he death as well.


She is a woman that spent her time more in the kitchen, cooked for her husband that like eating very much. Spent her time for her children that need her. Waited for her husband back home, waited for him to accompany him for lunch and dinner together.


Actually….She was a kindergarten teacher, resigned after her married. She was sultry resigned for husband demand and for their children that need her as a mother. Be a good teacher for their children grown up. After her children busy with their activity. She was alquran teacher for our neighborhood. And she was caretaker and activated dharma wanita in sub district as well.


After her husband pass away, she back to her village, activated the kindergarten that she left many years ago, develop the system and also make good credibility for the kindergarten. Until the kindergarten become good, many people applied their children to the kindergarten like at the time she was a teacher there. I know….that is one of her happiness in her life.


Right now…she just enjoy the days with her grandchildren and children.


Finally, I want to say…Thak you my mom….for all your time, your love, and your sacrifice that you give me untill now…..my love never end…I love you mom…


Indonesia version


”Siapa yang engkau sayang di dunia ini Rin?”

Tentu saja aku menjawab ibu ku, aku lebih menyayangi nya daripada siapapun di dunia ini, aku berkorban untuk dirinya, aku mencintai nya dengan segenap jiwa dan raga, hanya dia yang aku punya di dunia ini, yang merupakan asal muasal ku, bukan aku meniadakan yang lain tapi begitulah adanya. Aku rela mati untuk nya, biarkan nyawa ku yang kau ambil Tuhan daripada dia, aku membutuhkan nya.

”Begitu sayang kah engkau dengan ibu mu Rin?” Iya jawab ku mantap.


Ibuku hanya wanita biasa, tidak anggota DPR dan juga tidak aktivis perempuan ataupun aktivis partai politik. Tapi beliau adalah pahlawan ku, perjuangannya luar biasa, membuat anak-anak nya berhasil tanpa memerlukan laki-laki disamping nya sebagai pengganti suami tercinta yang meninggal pada saat anak2nya dibangku kuliah, beliau hanya mengelola uang pensiun dan sedikit peninggalan tabungan dari suami tercinta. Isteri yang luar biasa….


Beliau dilahirkan di Cupak, Solok tanggal 8 Juni 1940, dibesarkan di Cupak dengan didikan agama dari kedua orang tuanya. Beliau menamatkan sekolah kejuruan di Padang dan menjadi guru TK di cupak Solok. Bertemu dengan suami tercinta, yang merupakan tetangga rumahnya…:) Menikah dan ikut suami merantau. Menjadi pendamping hidup yang setia sampai suami tercinta meninggal dan juga sesudahnya.


Beliau adalah perempuan yang lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu di dapur, memasak makanan kesenangan suami tercinta yang doyan makan. Yang menghabiskan waktu dengan anak2nya yang memerlukan bimbingannya. Yang setia menunggu suami di rumah yang selalu rapi jali, yang setia menunggu suami pulang kantor dan menemaninya untuk makan siang dan makan malam bersama.


Sebenarnya….beliau adalah guru TK, berhenti setelah menikah. Rela berhenti karena tuntutan suami dan juga demi anak-anaknya yang membutuhkan dirinya sebagai ibu mereka, menjadi guru yang terbaik untuk pertumbuhan anaknya yang sedang memerlukan bimbingan. Setelah anak-anak nya sibuk dengan urusan mereka masing-masing, beliau memberikan pelajaran mengaji untuk anak2 tetangga sekeliling rumah dan juga aktif dan memajukan kegiatan dharma wanita di RW.


Setelah suami tercinta meninggal, beliau kembali ke kampung halaman tercinta, mulai menghidupkan kembali TK yang ditinggalkannya sejak lama. Mengembangkannya kembali, mengembalikan kredibilitas TK yang sudah lama hilang, sehingga sekarang TK nya tampak hidup dan banyak orang tua yang mempercayakan anaknya untuk bersekolah di sana, seperti dulu pada saat dia mengajar di sana.


Sekarang….beliau meikmati hari-harinya bersama cucu tercinta dan juga anak2 nya.


Terimakasih ibu…atas semua waktu, cinta dan perngorbanan mu untuk ku…kasihku untuk mu tak akan hilang ditelan masa…I love you ibu…..

I give two thumbs up for this movie. This movie tell us about life, based on true story. The main actors are Will Smith as Chris Gardner and Jaden Smith as Christopher, his son in this movie. Actually…I will tell you about Christopher’s story about a drown man in the water, he told this story to his father in the morning to making his father happy and making a joke because their days full of struggle. So touch……

Christopher’s story….One day a man was drowning in the water.
An boat came by and said “Do you need any help?”
And he said “No thank you, God will save me”
And then another boat came by and said “Do you need any help?”
And he said
“No thank you, God will save me”
And then he drowned and he went to heaven and he said “God why didn’t you save me?”
And God said “I sent you two big boats, you dummy”

You know….the man blame the God, actually he didn’t realized that the God already gave him chance to safe his life by the boats, but what was he doing. He ignored the boats and wait the other help from the God. So Stupid….

Without we realized, sometimes we doing a mistake like the man. When a chance came from the God, we often ignored it or didn’t used it, we didn’t realized the chance, otherwise it’s the best chance that’s given by the God and after that we never have chance anymore. When all of the chances left us, we arrived at one point, it’s call hopeless, usually we’ll blame the god for all of thing happen to us.

So….be aware with your life, accept the chance and using it with the best way you can do, even the chance doesn’t like working…. you must try to do it. Before the god doesn’t give you the chance anymore and time is over.


Indonesia version


Saya beri dua jempol untuk film ini. Banyak yang dipelajari mengenai kehidupan dari film ini. Film ini berdasarkan true story. pelakon utamanya adalah Will Smith sebagai Chris Gardner dan Jaden Smith sebagai anaknya yang bernama Christopher. Yang akan saya sampaikan di sini mengenai sebuah cerita yang disampaikan oleh Christopher kepada ayahnya di sela-sela kegiatan mereka berdua yang penuh perjuangan untuk mempertahankan kehidupan mereka berdua, mengharukan… hiks.

Cerita Christopher…..Suatu hari, seorang laki-laki jatuh ke dalam air.
Pada saat itu datanglah sebuah perahu, dan berkata ”Apakah kamu ingin bantuan?”
Laki-laki tersebut menjawab ”Tidak, terimakasih, Tuhan akan menyelamatkan saya”
Dan tidak lama kemudian perahu lain datang dan berkata ”Apakah kamu ingin bantuan?”
Laki-laki itu tetap berkata ”Tidak, terimakasih, Tuhan akan menyelamatkan saya”

Dan akhirnya laki-laki itu mati tenggelam karena tidak bisa lagi bernafas,
dan di surga dia bertanya ”Tuhan mengapa kamu tidak menyelamatkan saya?”
Tuhan menjawab ”Sebenarnya aku sudah mengirimkan dua perahu kepadamu, bodoh.”

Cerita yang lucu tapi setidaknya kita dapat mengambil makna nya.
Laki-laki tersebut menyalahkan Tuhan, padahal tanpa dia sadari, Tuhan telah memberikan
kesempatan untuk menyelamatkan diri melalui dua perahu itu. Tapi apa yang dia lakukan, laki-laki itu tidak mengacuhkan dua perahu yang dikirim oleh Tuhan untuk dirinya, malah mengharapkan bantuan langsung dari Tuhan, sungguh bodoh.

Tanpa kita sadari, kita sering melakukan kesalahan seperti laki-laki tersebut. Pada saat kesempatan datang dari Nya, kita sering tidak mengacuhkan atau malah menganggap remeh atau tidak menggunakan kesempatan tersebut dengan baik. Tidak menyadari bahwa itulah kesempatan yang terbaik yang diberikan oleh Tuhan untuk kita, yang mungkin tidak akan pernah kita dapatkan lagi. Dan pada saat kita sampai pada satu titik yang disebut dengan hopeless, kita serta merta menyalahkan Tuhan atas kebodohan yang telah kita lakukan.

So….be aware with your life, gunakanlah kesempatan yang diberikan Tuhan kepada mu dengan sebaik yang kamu bisa, sebelum Tuhan meniadakan kesempatan untuk mu.

Tanah Air Ku Indonesia

Tanah Air

Tanah airku, tidak kulupakan
‘kan terkenang selama hidupku
Biarpun saya pergi jauh
Tidak kan hilang dari kalbu

Tanah ku yang kucintai,….engkau kuhargai

Walaupun banyak negri kujalani,
Yang mashyur permai dikata orang
Tetapi kampung dan rumahku,
Disanalah ku rasa senang
Tanah, ku tak kulupakan….
Engkau kubanggakan

Kalo mau dengerin lagunya bisa didenger langsung di sini

Lagu ini sangat menyentuh khususnya saat ini, pada saat tidak berada di negeri sendiri. Padahal lagu ini sudah saya dengar dari dulu dan sering dinyanyikan tetapi baru saat ini terasa dalem banget…:-)
Kenapa tiba-tiba saya membicarakan lagu Tanah Air karangan Ibu Sud, ini ada sebabnya… Lagu ini saya dengar pada saat mengikuti acara Pre Viva dan Sarasehan dengan tema Sebuah Karya Untuk Bangsa. Acara ini merupakan salah satu acara yang diadakan oleh Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia (PPI) USM Penang, dimana pada acara tersebut, pelajar indonesia yang sedang menyusun tesis untuk S-2 mempresentasikan tesisnya menjelang ujian di depan para penguji yang sebenarnya. Acara ini disamping memberikan pengetahuan juga bertujuan untuk menguatkan silaturahmi antara pelajar indonesia khususnya di USM.


Pertemuan dengan para pelajar indonesia tidak disengaja, pada saat lagi ngerjain tugas
di salah satu perpustakaan Universitas Sains Malaysia alias USM Penang, sedang asyik-asyiknya ngerjain tugas, ketemu ama salah 3 (karena lebih dari 1 orang) dari mereka, ternyata mereka studi S2 dan S3 di USM. Perkenalan diawali dengan pertanyaan “dari Indonesia ya?” berhubung pada saat itu saya mengenakan batik, terus berlanjut dengan pertanyaan “Indonesianya dimana?”, kemudian berlanjut bertukat informasi dan kemudian saling bertanya tempat tinggal, saking serunya ngobrol ampe lupa kita lagi di perpustakaan, sempat ditegur karena berisik, kebetulan cewek semua, biasa kalo cewek ngumpul…lupa deh dimana keberadaannya…:)

Pertemuan berlanjut dengan acara olahraga keesokan harinya sabtu pagi dan berakhir di pelataran Internasional House dimana mereka semua tinggal. Berhubung Internasional House tidak menyediakan ruang tamu, mau tidak mau nongkrong di luar, di pelataran saja, Pelataran Internasional House jadi milik Indonesia buat sementara waktu…:)
Mereka kebanyakan dari Aceh, tapi ada juga yang berasal dari Medan dan Bandung. Obrolan tak kunjung berhenti, mulai dari obrolan makanan, kebudayaan, hubungan antara keduanya, tempat2 menarik di
Penang, politik, terus ditutup dengan gosip Aa Gym meskipun udah basi tapi tetap menarik karena menyangkut poligami…:)
Berhubung dari pagi pada belum makan so…acara obrolan ditutup tepat jam 12 siang.


Keesokan harinya, di minggu pagi yang cerah…ikut acara seminar Pre Viva dan Sarasehan. Naaaah di acara itulah
saya bersama yang lainnya menyanyikan lagu Indonesia Raya dan juga lagu Tanah Air karangan Ibu Sud di perdengarkan. Wah…maklum saya baru kali ini menyanyikan lagu kebangsaan di negari orang, meskipun cuman di Malaysia yang merupakan negeri serumpun degan Indonesia, rasa nasionalisme saya jadi muncul…terharu…menambah saya mencintai Indonesia meskipun banyak jeleknya, banyak korupsinya, banyak kecelakaan pesawatnya, tetapi itu semua bukan salah Indonesia tetapi salah rakyatnya, yang terlalu perduli dengan perut sendiri dan kepentingan sendiri sehingga mengabaikan tanggung jawab sebagai rakyat Indonesia yang mempunyai kewajiban untuk memajukan bangsanya….negara kita yang tercinta…..INDONESIA
Hidup Indonesia….Jaya Indonesiaku….


Tanah Air ku tidak kulupakan, biarpun saya pergi jauh, tidak kan hilang dari kalbu…..
walau banyak negeri yang kujalani, tetapi kampung dan rumahku… disanalah ku merasa senang….
tanah ku tak kulupakan…engkau kubanggakan


catatan redaksi:
Mohon maaf….kali ini tidak ada english version disebabkan rasa nasionalisme saya lagi di atas segala-galanya…:-)
gayanyaaaa….:))




Only 10 Ringgit

Only RM 10 you can get everything. This was motto for us when we went to Jerejak Island last friday. Jerejak island is one of small island near to Penang, only 10 minutes by ferry from Jeti Jerejak-Penang. At the time we only paid RM 10 return to jerejak island by ferry. You know… you have pay RM 25 to return. We got discount RM 15 per person, and the special prize only for consultant or special guest. Lucky for us, they thought we were special guest, we were group band, so we got RM 10 only. We have analyze for that reason, maybe they got phone call from somebody that mention about there was group band contain 10 person will coming and at the time we arrived there and maybe we looked like a group band because some of us wore cowboy hat, and also wore sarong….that was a reason. Even we said that we were from PGEC USM, and the man though the name of group band was PGEC USM. So..we were lucky…🙂

At 2.30 pm, ferry came to the Jeti and at 2.40 pm we left the Jeti and arrived Jerejak island at 2.50 pm. And we saw the long beach…not bad…..And we went around and we saw small football field, volleyball field and also park. Great day…I Said to my self. And like usual, PGEC group took some pictures and continued the journey sidewards to swimming pool, and finally we know that swimming pool belong to the Jerejak Resort and Spa. And our journey stop for a while in this hotel, asked about prize and facilities and of course about the discount prize. Actually the prize not very expensive….so if our family or some one special come to visit us, we already have a nice place to bring their vacation.

After we got enough information from this hotel, we continued our journey, we went hiking, and at the branch of road there were directions…so we chose direction to the jungle. After 15 minutes from the branch of road we found a suspension bridge. All of us crossed the bridge, in this bridge so fun because some of us made the bridge like swing…very excited…J and we took our pictures here to remain us for some day. After that… we continued our journey went to inside the jungle. On the way, because of tired… some of us said to go back, but no body want to go back, because we curiously where is end of this jungle. Our journey continued…..everybody become grassy, some of us danced, shouted, sang and acted like monkey…..we were enjoy that day….very enjoy. And you know…finally we saw the other beach from inside the jungle. To celebrate our discovery, we made circle and danced. Finally we know that end of this jungle is the beach. On the beach we did like usual, took the picture, made video and danced. Because our activity still many, so…. we decided to went back to the first beach for played volleyball and football. Not take a long time we arrived in Jerejak Resort and Spa again and we asked about dinner and after that we played volleyball. Excited games, and there was no winner and loose because the score was same. And then… we moved to the park, we played swing, everybody become like a child. And after that we played football, not large field but for us (the woman) very tied because that was the first time we played football. I can not imagine if playing in actual field. At the end of the game we took a picture like actual of football team.

After one day we loose our energy….we closed the day with good dinner at restaurant of Jerejak Resort and Spa, we top up RM 18 for dinner buffee. Not very expensive, with RM 18, you can eat everything you want until full. Can you imagine… we spent our time for dinner for 2 hours, because many kind of food inside the restaurant and the taste very nice…so..we didn’t want miss even one kind of food…🙂

Everybody happy and satisfied at the day…..full happy day and finally we sit on the beach for 30 minutes because the ferry schedule was 9.30 pm. We left Jerejak island at 9.45 pm. Only spent RM 10 and plus RM 18 for dinner, we got everything. At the time was very good excellent journeyed and activity. The best day I ever had in Penang…🙂

(1 US$ about 3.3 Ringgit Malaysia )


Indonesia Version


Hanya 10 ringgit kamu dapat semuanya, Inilah moto kita pada saat kita pergi ke pulau Jerejak Jumat kemaren. Pulau Jerejak adalah salah satu pulau yang dekat dengan Penang, hanya 10 menit menggunakan ferry dari Jeti Jerejak-Penang. Pada saat itu, kita hanya bayar 10 ringgit, padahal seharusnya kita bayar 25 ringgit untuk kapal ferry pulang pergi. Hal ini disebabkan karena pada saat itu mereka mengira kita adalah group band, yang akan mentas di Pulau itu. Analisa kita sesudah kejadian itu adalah, ini baru dugaan… mungkin sebelumnya mereka mendapat telpon dari seseorang yang mengatakan bahwa akan ada group band yang berjumlah 10 orang akan datang, nah…ternyata yang datang adalah kami. Memang sih pada saat itu kita semua pake baju santai dan kalo diperhatikan seperti group band he he, ada yang pake topi koboy, ada juga yang pake sarung bali, yaaaa bener2 bisa lah dikatakan group band…:)) So….we are lucky.

Nah kemudian dengan cuek kita yaaa pura2 ga tau aja, wong itu kan salah mereka sendiri, yang penting kita ga boong, kita udah bilang bahwa kita dari PGEC USM dan bukan group band so….salah mereka dong ya…:) (cari pembenaran…:))

Tepat pukul 2.30 ferry yang akan membawa kita ke Pulau Jerejak menepi dan tepat pukul 2.40 kita meninggalkan Jeti dan menuju Pulau Jerejak. Tepat jam 2.50 pm kita nyampe di Pulau Jerejak dan langsung disambut dengan pantai yang lumayan indah. Kemudian kita menuju arah pantai dan ternyata disana tersedia lapangan bola kaki kecil2an, volleyball ukuran sedang dan ada layar tancepnyaaa……wah bakal jadi hari yang hebat nih…gumam saya dalam hati. Dan udah kebiasaan PGEC group kudu berfoto dulu untuk mengambil posisi yang mewakili kebersamaan dan kemudian perjalanan dilanjutkan menuju kolam renang, dan ternyata kolam renang tersebut milik Jerejak Resort dan Spa, akhirnya perjalanan kita jadi terseret ke Jerejak Resort dan Spa…hotelnya lumayan bagus dan ga mahal2 banget……jadi siapa yang mau berbulan madu kesana, silahkan lhoooo….:)

Nah kemudian kita duduk2 sebentar di hotel tersebut sambil nanya ini dan itu, ngumpulin informasi..mana tau saja ada sanak famili yang berniat mengunjungi kita2 di sini dan ini adalah salah satu tempat alternatif yang lumayan bagus.

Setelah mendapatkan informasi yang cukup, kita lanjutkan perjalanan dan kali ini menuju jalan setapak dan akhirnya kita menemukan perempatan jalan, cukup banyak pilihannya sampe bingung tapi akhirnya kita memilih masuk hutan. 15 menit dari perempatan tersebut kita menemukan jembatan gantung, dengan menemukan jembatan gantung advanture kita bangkit, pas berada ditengah..seru juga ada yang iseng menggoyang2 jembatannya, serem juga yaaa. Semuanya menyeberangi jembatan dan sesampainya di ujung kita berpose, biasa pengabadian…..

Setelah puas di jembatan gantung kita melanjutkan kembali perjalanan menuju hutan. Berjalan….terus..terus..terus….tepat di tengah perjalanan ada yang ngusulin untuk balik, karena pada kecapean terutama yang cewek (kecuali aku lho ama temen ku yang dari Indonesia juga) tapi ga ada yang mau…. akhirnya perjalan kita lanjutkan terus karena semua penasaran pengen tau dimana akhir dari hutan ini. Perjalanan terus..terus…terus….nyantai banget hari itu….ada yang dance dan semua menjadi gila di hutan itu, teriak...teriak…berubah menjadi monkey dan semacamnyalah…..bener2 hiking yang sangat menggembirakan. Kamu tau…ternyata ujung dari hutan ini ada sebuat pantai yang lumayan indahnya….wah..semuanya bersorak gembira pada saat melihat pantai di sela2 pohon dari dalam hutan. Kita semua membuat lingkaran dan mulai bernyanyi dan membuat gerakan menari….gembira rasanya mengetahui ujung dari perjalanan kita. Nyampe di pantai kita melakukan pekerjaan rutin….jepret sana jepret sini..making video….wah..seru banget. Tapi karena berhubung kita belum menikmati permainan yang lain..so kami memutuskan untuk sebentar saja di pantai ini hanya 45 menit kami meninggalkan pantai tersebut, kembali menuju resort dan spa yang tadi dan tujuan yang lain yaitu permainan volley ball dan sepak bola tentunya.

Pada saat balik tanpa terasa kita sudah nyampe, ternyata ga begitu jauh kami sudah sampai lagi di hotel tempat pertama kami mengumpulkan informasi. Kami istirahat sebentar dan kemudian bermain bola voli pantai, permainannya seru juga sampe emosi he he ada ada saja dan akhir permainan draw ga ada yang menang dan ga ada yang kalah.

Kamipun pindah posisi ke taman bermain, di sini ada ayunan, seluncuran, timbangan. Semua menjadi anak kecil, ada yang main ayunan, timbangan dan seluncuran…semuanya pada menikmati. Setelah merasa cukup mengumpulkan energi kembali, kami bermain sepak bola, wah ternyata capek juga main sepak bola, baru kali ini saya bermain sepak bola, dengan lapangan yang sekecil itu saja udah capeknya minta ampuuun, gimana yang lapangan yang sebenarnya yaaa ga kebayang deh. Setelah capek kitapun berfoto bersama dengan gaya bak pemain sepakbola sungguhan.

Setelah seharian kehilangan energi yang luar biasa banyaknya, kamipun akhirnya menutup kegiatan kami dengan dinner di restaurant hotel tersebut dengan membayar tambahan 18 ringit…yaaaa lumayan murah karena kita bisa makan apa saja, bayangin aja kami makan dari awal orang tidak ada sampe orang lain meninggalkan kami satu persatu…sampai perut kami bener2 penuh dan terakhir kita istirahat di tepi pantai sambil menunggu ferry untuk balik ke penang island…tepat pukul 9.45 kami meninggalkan Pulau Jerejak….sangat menyenangkan hari itu…puas semuanya.

Cukup hemat bukan liburan akhir minggu kali ini hanya 10 ringgit dan ditambah 18 ringgit untuk dinner dan yang ga bisa tergantikannya yaaa itu aktivitas kita hari itu… benar2 luar biasa hebatnya, liburan akhir minggu yang terhebat yang pernah saya alami selama di Penang…:)
