The Great Merapi

Here are the views of volcano of Merapi from Ketep, Magelang, Central Java. Merapi is located in the border of Sleman, Klaten, Magelang and Boyolali. And the most improtant is the fact that this enormous Merapi is still very much active.

Homes

Last weekend, I went back to Kuncen village, Wonosobo. It's about two hours ride from Jogja. So I pushed my old motor bike to it's limit. I don't know why, but I really missed this village. The destiny brought me here three months ago when I had to take KKN obligation from my university which every student of UGM must accomplish. But,after that obligation has done, I knew it will not be easy for me to forget the people I've met here. My friend used to say that in Jogja, If you want to get home, you only have one home to go,which is your own home but in Kuncen, you'll go to many homes.
And once again I learn something from this little community, I just wanna write and write more about this little sanctuary. This picture was taken on Saturday, when all men help a family (their neighbor) to build a house. These men are unpaid. Free! Where else you can witness that thing.

Locked outside

Locked outside the library. Or It's me who didn't want to come in. U know what, GMU main library is an old fashioned building. The walls are high and the pillars are hulking, that's why many people said that, this four story building is haunted....spooky!!! And let me tell you the spookiest place. It is in the reading room at the third floor, and the spookiest time is the sunset in the third floor. This library is open until 8.PM and the librarians seem really have no fear at all. Salute to all of the librarians and all those bookworm students....Hehe

Carrefour paradox!

Such an awareness from a giant hypermarket Carrefour? I think they should honor the human life first before putting that slogan only as an eco-marketing style which is in demand and really popular nowadays.

Tower in Purworejo

it is the masjid tower in Purworejo, Central Java. I love the city, very quiet and clean. But living here will cost alot, twice compared to Jogja.

On my way to Samas Beach

I was on my way to Samas Beach in Bantul, I stopped on the street and captured this view...lil bit in hurry cos I dun wanna miss the sunset on beach.

Sunday Morning

Still in Gadjah Mada University, this picture was taken in front of the Grha Sabha Pramana (Auditorium of GMU). Lotta people do sport or simply just relaxing.

Padang, the city of...

I can tell you a lot of things about Padang, beside the dishes off course. Here, take a look.

It is a fist pillar, near my home in Padang. I know it looks like the one in sachet (Extra Joss). It was erected to honor the struggle of Bagindo Aziz Chan (the first mayor of Padang) in extruding the Dutch troops.

It is the three musketers, the statue is located in my senior high school, the only school in Padang which has this kind of art thing.

Being renovated since the big earthquake in Padang last year, this building is a car showroom located at Khatib Sulaiman street.

 

Escape!

I was escaping from my day-to-day college activities. And here I am, laying down under the tree in front of that central building.

Sunset on street

It was taken across the Gadjah Mada University's Central Library.

Prambanan's Dark Sky

I was not very lucky with my last weekend. I've already had a plan to reach Prambanan by Trans Jogja, the new mode of mass transportation in Jogja, and u know what...the line was very-very-very loooong...so that I lost my appetite of Trans Jogja. And when I arrived there (with "traditional" angkot), the sky was'nt friendly at all, the sky covered by dark cloud. Huh...
