Temanggung trip>> Pikatan Waterpark

PIKATAN WATERPARK

                Hai guys! I would like to share my experience in Temanggung. This is different with my experience that I wrote before. Here, I’ll show you into a waterpark that well-known in Temanggung. It named “Pikatan Waterpark”. Pikatan waterpark is located at Komplek Pikatan Water Park RT 05/ RW 05, Jl. Raya Pikatan, Mudal, Temanggung, Temanggung Subdistrict, Temanggung Regency, Central Java, Indonesia.

                I spent my long holiday with my bestfriends. So, we travelled to many places. One of them was Pikatan waterpark. I went there with my bestfriends, Agit and Javin. They are my bestfriends since I was elementary school. Beside that, they also my neighbour and 2 boys who have been being believed by my parents. This was our quality time, because we would be apart.

                We went there at afternoon. This was a refreshing day for Agit and me, but Javin had another intend. Javin went to swimming pool to trained his body before he entered to a cruise school. We decided to Pikatan because Pikatan had better facility than other. When we arrived to Pikatan’s parking place, our helmet were asked by an officer and we had to pay for parking, it was about Rp 4000,- including helmet’s storage place. Accidently, Pikatan was crowded because this was holiday. There were so much family who chose this place as a destination when holiday came. We had thought if ticket’s prize would be higher than usually. And we were right. We must pay Rp 20.000,-/person.  

                When we entered there, I felt doubt to swim. I thought that this swimming pool too crowded. There were 4 swimming pools that still active to used. 3 swimming pools were crowded because they were used for general, there were a short pool and 2 middle pools that had depth for about 1,2 meters. While the biggest pool was used for competition, it also the deepest pool and the quiet one among others. Suddenly, Javin invited us (Agit and me) to swim into competition’s pool. I never went there before, because it was too deep for me. I had realized that I had a short body.

                Then we changed our clothes. Agit and Javin went to men’s toilet, and certainly I went to women’s toilet. After I changed my clothes, I went back to the pool, but I couldn’t find them because I didn’t use my glasses. With a blurry eyes, I saw a group of hands that waved into me. But, I thought I saw 4 persons who waved their hands into me. I tried to closer. I would so shy if they weren’t my friends. Alhamdulillah… they were Agit and Javin, but they sat with 2 boys. We looked each other and laughed together. I knew them. They were my neighbours too, but we never met for a long time. One of them was Angga, he was my senior and he were a student of a cruise school. He went to Pikatan since 10.00 a.m. with Fajar, he was my kindergarten’s friend who would enter a cruise school as Javin. I felt shy because I was the one girl among them. Oh noo!! Fortunately, Fajar went to his coach to trained his swimming’s skill. Angga went to other corner to swam alone, because he was the most skilled among us. Finally, we backed into 3 persons anymore. :D

                1,3 meters depth was placed in the left and right side of the pool. 2 meters depth was placed in the middle 1,3 meters depth. We chose 1,3 meters. Javin entered the pool directly. Agit was looked doubt, including me. Agit’s reason was because the water too cold. And my reason was because I had a short body. Javin tried to convicing us. I entered the pool slowly, really slowly with shouted to javin to hold me. I was afraid if I sink into the pool. I wasn’t a skilled swimmer. Apparently, I didn’t sinked, but I had to stand on tiptoes. When Javin let his hand from me, I just hold the stair tightly. Although I was scared in the pool, I challenged Agit to entered the pool. He was doubt at first, then he entered into the pool. He just stayed in the water for about 10 minutes. He said that he felt so cold and went up from the pool. I remembered that he got fever the day before. Then, I let him to went up. After went up, he took his camera and took our pictures. After a few minutes, I successed to adaptation. I tried to swam as usually. I was amazed by 2 little girls who looked skilled to swam. They swam with a cool moved and some types of swimming. Suddenly, Angga came and taught me how to make a long glide. Yeah, I thought that he successed to be my coach. Javin, Angga, and me were in the water for a long time. We talked about so many things around us, especially about cruise school. 

                Javin and Angga went up first, but I prefer to stayed under the cold water. We continued our talking about cruise school then. After that, I went up to the side of the pool. I felt really cold at that moment. However, we sat at the stand of the swimming pool. We took a rest for a few minutes. after we felt enough, we changed our clothes. We came back together at 05.00 pm. There was a habit after we swam. It was eating. Swimming was a tiring activity that made us hungry. Then, we went to Kranggan. There was a meatball store that well-known. That was “Sampoerna”. It served a delicious meatball and many kinds of drinks. I liked ice young coconut or we called es kelapa muda. We ate together and I was the slowest one to eat. Finally, we went back home, but they had to bring me back to my house first. And that day was our last trip as closing trip before we had to be apart.

In that day, I was jogging with my friends. We confused where we should to go, but one of my friends suggest us to go to the east side of the village. We wasn't villager of this regency, so we don't know where the beautiful place would fine here. My friend that suggest me also find this place when she was jogging the day before. Without thinking twice, we run together following my friend that knew the way that should we through. We just through some gang until we found the place. Do you know what place is it? It was a straight way with many trees both right and left sides. Beside the road, there were wide field that spread out. The field was consist of corns and sugar canes. That was amazing for me. I also could see some mountains that I don't know where is it or what is the mountain, at least they made me more amazed. The air was clean without any polution, so I could breathe freshly.

I imagined that all the worlds will be liie this, so we can take a breathe fresher everyday, this is a little thing that should we keep. Don't destroy all these little heavens. We need a place without any polutions. Without polution, we will more healthy. Let's keep our environtment, guys! See ya!😊

SLEEPING BUDDHA ON VACATION : TROWULAN'S TRIP

Sleeping Buddha on Vacation

            Are you a traveller, guys? If you like travelling to some places, I think you have to try Trowulan first. Trowulan is located in East Java, Indonesia. You could find so many historic places here. Beside that, you also could find religion places that could be visited. One of the religion places is Buddha tidur or sleeping Buddha in Trowulan, Mojokerto, East Java, Indonesia. This is the biggest sleeping buddha in Indonesia. I just visited there once, but I suggest you to come there because this is a nice place to be visited. Here, I’ll tell you about my experience when I went to “Buddha Tidur Maha Vihara Mojopahit”. 

           Last week, I went to Sleeping Buddha in Trowulan, Mojokerto, East Java, Indonesia. I went there with my classmates and my lecturers. We used our bus university to went there. As a treasurer, I organized all of payment like tickets and park. We park a bus, and its park was Rp 10.000,00. As long as I knew, price of the ticket was Rp 3.000,00 per person. Fortunately, we got discount for the tickets because there were 4 of my friends who had visited there the day before. After all the payment had fixed, we entered the place.

            A big joglo’s house with many statues was the first building that I saw. Joglo is Javanese house. My group and I just passed that building then we went to the statue directly. At first, I imagined that sleeping Buddha is a statue that had broken or something like that. But, all my imagination was wrong when I was in front of the statue. Its pose of the statue was a big real sleeping Buddha. I just knew that it is the third biggest sleeping Buddha in Asia. Its long 22 meters, 6 meters for its wide, and its high is 4,5 meters. Its colour is gold. There is a pond around the statue, it has so many fishes. 

            After we had saw the statue for a few minutes, we looked a place that could be used to gather. We found a small house and we prepared everything in front of that small house. Actually, the small house is “Rumah Abu” or house of dust. It is used to put dust of someone who had died. I knew it because there was an old women told me about it. She said that it was doesn’t matter if we used this place so long as we had permission from officer.

            Then, we started our agenda. There were some students that performed their skills. There were Bang Zen that read a poem with 3 languanges, Laili and Fay with their drama, and Mas Dhika with his voice. I forgot something, before they gave their performance, there were my lecturers that gave the speech. I was happy when I was seeing them, because they made me inspirated.

            After the formal section had ended, we ate our foods that had we brought. Then, we were given a chance to take a walk around the park. We had to looked around the area of Sleeping Buddha. There were a beauty park, a relief, and places to pray. I thought, this place was a crowded place because there were many people who visit this place. It means, this place is interesting.

 

 

            The time was running out. My friends and I had to given our experience. After all was over, we came back. In the bus, we made a unique moments. We tried mannequin challenge. All of us posed like a mannequin, including my lecturers and the bus driver. It was a funny moment. Finally, we really came back to our university.
