Back again with me, and now I will tell you what happened on my 2nd day trip to Jogjakarta!! *lil bit late BUT i want to write it now!!!*
13 Jan 2012
05:30 AM ,, woke up with a lazy lazy eyes but so excited inside! Ahaha .. I went to take shower and voilaaaa, I’m ready for dressing and making up my face :D
With a very natural make up, I was so ready to go to the wedding party in Magelang, near Jogjakarta.
Well, actually it’s not a big party, but it’s a wedding ceremony when the groom and the bride committed each other to love live life together. Uhuhuhu. About 08:30 I arrived in the ceremony.
Part of the ceremony
I don’t know actually, from where or from what this tradition came from. Maybe Java tradition? Or Islamic tradition? So there is a time for the bride to ask permission to her father to get marry and ask her father to wed her to the groom. In Islam, father has a responsibility to wed his daughter when her daughter get married. This is a very sacral ceremony. So many people cries at this part.
So, the bride and her family are my relatives. When the bride asking permission to her father, the groom was crying… I could see his tears on his cheek. Oh My.. what a gentle one!! (I don’t know why, but I feel he's gentle)… not crying like an upset boy, but as a gentle man. Huhuhuhu
Then the sacral ceremony began.
After that, time to enjoy some cakes, foods which has served on the table!! HOOORAY!! Eheehhe
~ the banana tree ~
On the gate, there are 2 banana trees with it’s banana (of course) with red fabric, and my Mom was so aggressive to take those banana!! Ahahahaa I don’t know what’s the meaning of putting banana tree on the gate when you held a wedding ceremony. My friend said that it’s for the good fortune! Oh yeah? Uhmm, Let’s make it positive then! Hehehe
After eating all the cakes and foods, my auntie told me that the house beside my relative's house is a Batik Producer. And I said,, "oh? REALLY?!!" in an excited way, then my auntie ask me to come along to see inside the house. VOILA~~~~~~~ She's right!!!! It's a Batik Producer!! And it's BATIK TULIS!!! there was 2 women working on their Batik. One is drawing and the other one is coloring... ohh so beautiful!!!!

~ nice face ~
I saw this child, seems she'd been bother by me and my auntie's existence there. No smile, no talk, but so lovely. I don't know why I like her expression!! ^^
Then I ask her "Can you do the batik?", she didn't say anything but shook her head.
There was also bigger child than one on the photo. I didn't take her photo because she's more shy than the lil one.
After all the ceremony, photo session, and also the lunch are finish, it's time for me and my family to have a lil trip!!! At first, we confused and don't know where to go, but then my Mom told me that there's a place called Gedong Songo Temple near Ambarawa town. Uhmm quite interesting and I've never been there before so I said "let's go there!!!" and they agree with me,, so the is still moving on~~~~ ^^
*** Gedong Songo Temple ***
As per info on the internet, Gedong Songo is a javanese language means 9 buildings. The "building" itself relate to TEMPLE, so there is 9 temples in an area. it is located in a highland about 1500m height from the sea level. Some of the temples are broken, so you could only see about 5 temples only. The atmosphere are so so so fresh, calm, and pretty~
............ It took about more than an hour to reach Gedong Songo Temple from Magelang. And guess what,,, IT WAS RAINING A LOT!!!! O.O omg,, what should we do???! How could I enjoy my trip if it's raining a lot there?! uhmmmmm it doesn't make sense If we go back to Jogja just because of the rain.... T^T ,, I WANT TO GO THERE!!! Really want to see it!!! Then, we decided to have a lil chit chat with a hot tea while waiting the rain stop.
Suddenly, the mist was all around!!! HOT TEA + HOT NOODLE was the best friend at that time!!
We waited the rain for about an hour,,,, the rain wasn't totally stop, but I decided to go to see the temple when it was lil biti rain... XD ... okay, we paid the entrance fee and here it goes!!
1st Temple
It's too easy and too simple to reach the 1st temple from the entrance gate... :)
~ 1st temple ~
I thought it's simple to reach the next temple,, but it wasn't!! Okay, it was a simple hiking I think. ahahah first time for me,, hiking with skirt!! Me, my mom and my uncle was the fast walker at all at that time. We walked higher and higher~~~ it was slippery, so before I fall, I took off my sandals and began to walk in a naked feet. NICE!!! Lil bit hurting though, but as long as I could walk properly and fast, no problem with me :D
GO HIGHER and HIGHER!!! and finally we reach the second temple!!!
WOHOOO!! Finally I reach the 2nd temple!! And the 3rd temple located so close to the 2nd temple... but suddenly,,,, IT STARTED TO RAIN~~~~ OMG!!! Really wanted to continue my "simple hiking" but my Mom said it's better for us to go down back to the entrance gate now... T^T It's hard to say "my hiking is over here right now"... but what else I can do... and the rain got so heavy.... T^T Okay,, it's time to go back!! ... again, with naked feet... XD we went back to entrance gate by go through the horse track... and we got horse sh*t!!! nhahahaha NICE!!! heuuuuu =_="
Arrived at entrance gate, went inside the car and time to go back to Jogja. My Mom and my Auntie bought HOT STEAM CORN in the middle of our journey,,, this just make my trip completely fun!!!
On the way back to Jogja, we stopped at JEJAMURAN RESTAURANT. "jamur" means mushroom... so this restaurant served foods which made from mushroom... interesting huh? So, I ate Jamur Penyet,, which I call it as hot chili mushroom!! ahahhaha it's quite hot for me~ but delicious!!! :D
After finish our dinner, we continue our way back to Jogjakarta,, take a rest and be ready for tomorrow's party!!!! :*
