DAY FOUR part one - THE HIGHLIGHTS

Day Four had the BEST activity ever (!!!) After a nice sleep, we woke up healthy. The guys managed to have their morning exercise and a morning swim too. Lucky to be boys. As for girls, all we can do is watch and listen to their joyous fun. Nice. But it was a great morning, why waste? I had an enjoyable pool game with Mai and Rabiah in the morning. :D Even Aariq joined us on the table. Nobody knew who won.


After our morning activities, we had a lovely breakfast right next a beautiful view. Right after our meal, its time head to Cipanas and Puncak.


We was perfect when the bus driver stopped right before a mosque. It's friday. Tengah travel pon masih sempat solat Jumaat. Subhanallah. :D Everyone boarded the bus when suddenly there's a loud voice infront. "Sejak bile kite ade tour guide?" Cik said is was a survival thing, they would do anything to live. There's a man infront of the bus giving a summon to us for donations. As soon as we alight him down, we've reached Istana Cipanas. Thank you to Tante and her friends we received a special tour around. With the beautiful weather and the beautiful garden it was good to be outside and just wonder around.


After saying goodbye and thankyou, we headed to Little Venice Indon style. It looked so cool! After few photoshoots and bubble playing, we headed to our fairytale villa and here comes the most awesome-est part!

Day Three

Good Morning Indonesia Day Three. :D Woke up early for another great day. While the rest were getting ready for the day, I was all ready early. Someone mentioned about Beca which pushed me to go for it. I had Basheerah with me agreeing with with the idea and we were up for it. :D While we were excited for our mini road trip, the beca sudden stopped. Bash and I panicked for a while but tried to remain cool and had only positive thoughts. "Why on earth is the beca on hold? Whats going on?" Surprise Surprise! Cik sent this two boys as bodyguards, so it was beca morning with Bash, Ammar and Mateen.


The scenery by the roads. The lifestyle of these indonesians. It made me think. It inspired me. Made me appreciate life. Sometimes you just need to sit back and look around you and be lucky with what you have. Allah knows whats best for you. All I can do was to look and smile as I slowly watch the citizens proceed with their life, surviving.


Our next stop: The top of a Volcano. The Gunung Tangkuban Perahu. Jackets on!
It had such a lovely weather especially when we were in between the warm weather and the about to rain sensation. We were mobbed by life survivors and there were horsies where everyone was excited about. I thought the boys were lucky to have Muz. Their cam craze on the volcano was spectacular. Check out the boy band pic. Love it!


Well then, haters gonna hate our Villa Agung at bandung. It had such a view at night. The night lights were beautiful. The atmosphere, was magical (!!!) Feeling feeling twilight okay. The dinner under the night sky with the breezy weather was perfect. Diyana and I plan on getting a house there when we are older with many kechings. Siape nak join? :D

Right after dinner, speeches and prayers, Cik invited her foster son. We called him Abang Iwan. So we shared his experiences learning about different cultures and respecting them. Makes me want to travel around and know more. Maybe I'll be a freelance writer (but my grammer and spelling sucks) and travel around talking about what I see and my perspective of the world.

DAY TWO

After a heaty night, we were glad to see the Sun that brighten out day. It's good to see the world once again, and good to be alive. Alhamdulillah. We woke up did our first Subuh together and got ready for day two.


We were greeted by Qasidah from the citizens nearby in the morning. Had a yummy breakfast. The boys regained their energy and decided to do their version. Sang their Qasidah and we're off ~

We went to Makam Sunan Gunung Jati and learned about the Wali Sogoh and their history. We went to oldest mosque in Cirebon too. It was built by the leaders there.


We moved to shop for our tummy and headed to the Pesanteren. We met the ustaz and kiyai and the students there too. Get to know their lifestyle and system. Their one year fund is only our two months school fund. Fuuuuuh. It was a rural spot hence there were farm animals. As city kids, we were really excited. Especially Le Joker, Firdaus.


On our way home, Aariq was on the wheels. XD Indah pumped up the car with her non instrumental music. SUPERBASS IN THE CAR! Mai, Ain, Diyana and Myself was on auto sync where we helped her rocked the beat with our backup tune and mini jiggy. :D Boom, badoom, boom. Boom, badoom, boom bass.


It was dark then. While some of us decided to stay home, others went out. The boys inspired the girls to head out at check out Cirebon's night life. Those who stayed home; played with Aariq or played chess. There was even a mini chess tournament. Girls Vs Boys.

Bahrain Vs Shazaa
Firdaus Vs Hanisah
Ibrahim Vs Diyana
