The Weekender

Every year my company always holds a business plan meeting on December. Where’s our destination this year? Yogyakarta. I’m so excited to prepare my meeting and post tour. It wouldn’t be me if I am not stay for traveling. I always love to see local culture, people and adventure. I went to Jogja on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. I should go to Surabaya first because there’s no direct flight to Jogja from Malang. Me and my colleagues departed from Juanda, Surabaya via Wings Air. It took only 45 minutes to reach Jogja. Welcome to Jogja!

Sheraton Mustika Yogyakarta is place where we stayed for four days, it’s a five stars resort in Yogyakarta. A fancy hotel with Javanese classic ornament. I usually stay in bungalow, motel or cheap hotel for traveling. I tried to enjoy our business meeting as if I’m in a real holiday.  Don’t tell my boss! :)
Friday, 9 December 2011 at noon, we finished our business plan meeting. I ran to Friday pray then checked out to start our post tour. I went post tour with…

Rushing to airport on 4AM in the morning for our flight from Jakarta to Tanjung Pandan, Belitong via Sriwijaya Air. I prefer stay in my bed than head to airport but it's vacation, i'd do it everything. I met Asrie and Ruhum (we met in youth organization - AIESEC) and Shelda a.k.a Eda (she's Asrie bestfriend). I never thought that airport would be pack on 5AM, it's not holiday season though. People checkin' here and there. Finaly, we checked-in and ready to board to Tanjung Pandan. I always love the feelings when our plane take off, feels so happy because we're leaving for vacation, and it's beach gateway. Fyi, this was my second time to Belitong.

We landed in Tanjung Pandan, Belitong and it started rain, oh Lord. Rain is the biggest fear for beach traveller. I wish sun would welcome us on The Rainbow Troops Island.


We went to outside airport and someone called Asrie, it's Pak Ito - our tour guide. Asrie and Pak Ito never met before…

I watched a good collaboration on Dasyat on Friday but i missed tittle and singer name, i enjoyed their song tho'. I google-ed generasi synergy as key word because they mentioned and repeated it whole song, i found it, Barry Likumahuwa Project feat Pandji, the name of singer. I love Barry's work, bring jazz to your ears. Generasi Synergy has a good message about Indonesian youth to collaborate and make synergy for better Indonesia. LOVE IT!

Headlight is amazing song, great message and it’s for charity. I HEART MONKEY MAJIK because their work not only a masterpiece but also is dedicated to society.

Ps: They also released Headlight -piano version- SO GOOD!!! I wanna cry when listening piano version.

The Tao of Travel‘A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.’ ~LaoziPost written by Leo Babauta.I’m not the world’s most seasoned traveler, but I have made a number of trips lately and have learned a few things that work well.This year I’ve traveled to Guam for a month, to Portland, New York City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Southern California. They’ve all been beautiful trips, and I’ve never taken more than a small backpack.Travel lightly, with no set agenda, and you’ll have an amazing, stress-free trip.Traveling doesn’t have to be stressful. It can be simple, if you keep it so.EssentialPack little. I take a small backpack, and don’t pack it too heavy either. I’ve found through experience that I just need a pair of jeans, 2-3 T-shirts, 2-3 quick-dry boxer briefs, 2-3 pairs of quick-dry socks, maybe a light sweater. I wash things in the shower if they get dirty and hang them to dry overnight. …
