I'm super tired right now. I'm forcing myself a little bit to write this blog post right now because I have sooooo much work to do. I was still working a bit in the weekend. Tomorrow is going to be super busy. Morning will be spent at the uni for a freshman orientation. The rest of the day will be spent for werkz! Yikes!
I will just write and post photos taken over the last weekend. It was all fun, for sure! Don't worry I'll keep it short!
Enjoy!
Saturday 11
11PM In the morning I was busy working until 11, and we all went to a wedding. Really, we took advantage of the joyous event so we could fill our stomach before we went on the road later the day towards Semarang.
2PM We left the house for Semarang. I forgot to pack!! ;)) I threw random clothes into my backpack and made sure I had my phone and iPad in the back too, of course. I knew I would have to do some work.
3:30PM We lunched at this favorite stop-by restaurant of ours called Iwak Kali. They have two branches. This is the big(gest) one. They have this large farm behind the restaurant.
Juuump!!
Sunday 12
7:30AM I was invited by my brother to a photography event held by a local newspaper company (Suara Merdeka). The event was called Suara Merdeka Photo Rally. Basically the participants were given three themes/topics of photos that they needed to capture.
Long story short, among places we went to, one of them was Kota Lama (lit. old town).
Me standing beside an old looking window.1PM My brother and I agreed with everybody else to meet at the mall Paragon not far from where the photography event was. We only had lunch. And, finally!! Ahahahaha! After a long while, I had sushi! I had to order from the two outlets because it's not everyday I can have sushi!
I was quite full already so I only ordered two portions.5:30PM I did as much work as possible using my iPad. And, I realized I almost forgot to make a vlog of the day! I don't know what reminded me! Here's the video: video
9PM We began our journey back home to Yogyakarta.
Basically that was it. It was not even two full days. Such a short trip but super hectic to me, at least.
Have a good day or night ahead!
Arrrghhh need to sleep and wake up quite early for the orientation!
Nite nite!
That farm looks pretty big. Sounds like you had a fun but busy time. The pictures from the photo rally look very interesting. I've never tried sushi. I don't know if I'd like it. Good luck at your orientation. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you like how raw fish smells (not necessarily in a bad way), you should like sushi! ;)
DeleteThanks! I'm just taking time right now replying to the comments before heading off for the orientation! :)
Have a good day yourself!
what a busy weekend.
ReplyDeleteoooh how i love those kind of farm n greenhouse, but never visit those kind though
But you did just recently went to a farm up there in Papua! :) I remember!
Deletegood that you spent your weekend busy with the trip, haha.. and how nice you went to the farm, love those greens, really refresh right?? hehe, kota lama.. really an appropriate name given after seeing those old buildings.. :p
ReplyDeleteI know right! if the town was completely abandoned and not well preserved, I'm sure, it would have gotten a different name like 'abandoned town' or 'nobody-cares town' ahahahah
DeleteWoahhh... busy weekend indeed. My weekend was fairly realxing. But it doesn't mean I look forward to Monday work. =p hehehhe
ReplyDeleteAhaha well you can imagine it wasn't so relaxing to me yet I still had to have a busy Monday! Yikes!
Deleteyay for sushi! but it sounds like you'll be exhausted by the end of this week! make sure you drink plenty of water and try to get enough sleep, ya! must stay healthy, heheh =)
ReplyDeleteI AM still exhausted! It's 11PM and I have finally reached the end of the day! OMG! I did drink a lot of water, I made sure of that
DeleteBusy weekend for me is better than do nothing & just sleep weekend. xD
ReplyDeleteAhahah but I guess that depends on what makes us busy over the weekend. If it is by something that is not exciting, I think I would rather do nothing and sleep ;))
DeleteLunching at Iwak Kali must be nice. One thing for sure, the food are fresh since they have their own farm! That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe photography event sounds fun too.
Glad you were having such a productive weekend but don't forget to rest too. :)
It was quite refreshing to see the farm from out table! :) It was also quite cold which is why I was wearing my cardigan.
DeleteThe photography event felt so long! It was a hot sunny day!
I am going to rest in an hour and it's already 11PM! I need to catch up some of you guys' blogs first before bed! yikes!
The place is located on the highlands? Reminded me of Cameron Highlands. :)
DeleteHmmm actually no, not really. It was rather cold because it just finished raining and the clouds are not gone yet. It was a good weather though! :)
DeleteHow did the orientation go, by the way? :)
ReplyDeleteIt was just okay. I'm actually going to write a bit about it after I finish visiting you guys' blog :)
DeleteKota Lama bagus banget ya tempatnya and seriously you lived in jogja? pengen banget kesana!!
ReplyDeleteI do live in Jogja! :)
DeleteVisit the city! You know it's a fun city!
A restaurant with a farm behind it ensures the freshest produce! Now if only restaurants in KL could adopt the same philosophy - understandably more difficult since it is the capital city. :P
ReplyDeleteLove the shots of Kota Lama - reminds me of parts of my hometown Malacca.
This restaurant is not located in town either, or very near it. It is about an hour drive from town. Hehe
