Enjoy it! :)
Do
you have experience? Of course everybody has experience. There are kinds of
experience, that are sad, happy or nice experience. We can take a wisdom from
that experience, because experience is the best teacher. I want to tell you
about my nice experience. Enjoy it!
Once
upon a time on November 2008 SMPN 1 Kertosono had study tour to Yogyakarta. I
followed my sister although I was not the student of SMPN 1 Kertosono at that
moment and I know you will think : “How can you do that?” hahahaaha
We went to Yogyakarta together
with my sister’s friend and all the teachers. We went there at 11.00 pm. We
went there by bus. Before we went there, we prayed first, so that God blessed
and guided us at that trip. After that we left and go on to bus. I and my sister
were happy , my sister’s friends were happy too. Unitil at 12.00 am we were
singing in the bus. Hahahaha
At
01.00 am we slept. Before I slept, I didn’t forget to turn off the AC. If AC
turned on all time (non stop) of course I got coldness. I would be frozen!
At
05.00 am, we woke up and then got up to take a leak and brushed teeth. We took
a rest first before we continued the trip. While we take a rest, we who had
Catholic religion waited others who prayed Subuh. We waited for fifteen minutes then we continued our trip.
We
arrived at place which near from Parangtritis Beach at 06.00 am. Before we went
to beach, we must take a bath first. All bathroom were full. My sister and I
waited for thirty minutes. After that we’ve finished taken a bath, we went to
diningroom for having breakfast. While we had breakfast, we could see
Parangtritis beach scenery. The sea was light blue, the sea was wave.
After that, all students and
teachers went to down to Parangtritis Beach. We must pass soil stony. Arrived at Parangtritis beach, I and my
sister played together. Then I tried to play alone near sea shore. At that
time, I waited wave that would pass by and reach my feet. I didn’t need much
time, the wave came . I felt my body moved backwards but that was my illusion.I
think you must feel that when you at the beach, that’s amazing!!
Time
by time, the wave was bigger and bigger, then all teachers warned us to far
from the beach and back to bus. Do you know, if there is Nyai Roro Kidul at
Parangtritis Beach? I will tell you about her.
Nyai Loro
Kidul is often illustrated as a mermaid with a tail
as well the lower part of the body of a snake. The mythical creature is claimed
to take the soul of any who she wished for.Sometimes Nyai Loro Kidul literally can be spoken of as a "naga", a mythical snake. This idea may have been derived from some myths concerning a princess of Pajajaran who suffered from leprosy. The skin disease mentioned in most of the myths about Nyai Loro Kidul might possibly refer to the shedding of a snake's skin.
The role of Nyai Loro Kidul as a Javanese Spirit-Queen became a popular motif in traditional Javanese folklore and palace mythologies, as well as being tied in with the beauty of Sundanese and Javanese princesses. Another aspect of her mythology was her ability to change shape several times a day.
Another pervasive part of folklore surrounding her is the colour of green, gadhung m'lathi in Javanese, is referred to her, which is forbidden to wear along the south-coast of Java.
Back to story, then we continued to Borobudur temple! J
Arrived
at Borobudur temple, we took photos together with tourists who visited
Borobudur like us. I was happy because I could hold “stupa” and I requested
something. Just for information, some people believe that if we can hold that
(stupa) and ask something, our hope will be granted. Believe or not! In top
stupa we could see mountains. After we have spent our time in Borobudur Temple
we went to Keraton Yogyakarta.
When
we arrived at Keraton Yogyakarta, of course we must buy the tickets, we entered
and went around Keraton Yogyakarta. The building was very beautiful and
fantastic. I was proud to be Indonesian person.
When
went around the building, there was traditional dancing that was took place
then we decided to watch this for a minute. While I saw the dancing, I also had
courage to speak English with the tourists.
After
we had long time at there and we were tired, we decided to go home, but we
didn’t forget to buy souvenirs to my family at home. When we bought souvenirs,
it rained.
In an hour, all people have finished
to buy the souvenirs and then we gone home. In the bus we sang together.
I
arrived at home t 03.00 am and I was tired.
The
wisdom from this study tour as I’ve said was whole range of cultural and natural wealth of Indonesia is owned by the grace of God we should be grateful and preserve it. I’m proud to be Indonesian
girl :D
