Bali, Paradise Island

I was in 2nd grade of high school when my school held study tour to Bali Island. Actually, it was not my first time to go there because I ever went to Bali before.

The journey to Bali was about 1,5 days but I didn't feel bored because my friends always gave me some jokes and made me laugh. During the journey, sometimes I felt so sleepy, I just slept on the bus chair and it made me felt very stiff.

We crossed Selat Bali by ship at 4 a.m and the scenery of the harbour was so beautiful. One hour later we arrived at Bali Island. Our bus took us to nearest restaurant so we can have breakfast and take a bath. After that, the vacation was begun.

We went to many beautiful places such as Sanur Beach, Bedugul, Garuda Wisnu Kencana, Kuta Beach and so on. The most beautiful place is Garuda Wisnu Kencana. I think that is combination of traditional and modern place. And the most romantic place is Kuta Beach. I saw sunset there and it was very beautiful.

We were not only having vacation, but also studying about relationship in social life, so we did live in and we slept in villager's home. It was exciting because we could knew more about Balinese and their culture.



We were in Bali just 3 days, then we went back to Jogja. I felt so tired but I was so much happy because of this. I never forget that moment because Bali is greatest place that I've ever visited.

English Welcoming Day 2009

Last week was the unforgetable moment since I have been in PBI. Why? Because last week I had English Welcoming Day (EWD) with all my friends from PBI. I am going to tell you a little bit about that EWD.

 

EWD was held in Wonogondang camping ground, which is located in Kaliurang. The temperature in Wonogondang was very cold although the sun was still shining us. And at the night, we had so many activities, like doing some jingle, talent show and tracking!! In talent show, my group showed the kickboxing championship with Liece and Cemara as the kickboxer. They were so funny when did the talent show. And the boys became the cheers and their appearance made me laugh because they acted and danced like feminine girls.

 

After talent show, I had about 2 hours to sleep before tracking. We (me and my group) slept in the same tent with our group leader. I was so tired and sleppy and I think 2 hours was not enough for me to take some rest. At 2 a.m my group leader woke me up because it was our turn to do tracking. Gosh, it was very cold and my jacket could not make me warm. I walked out the tent and it felt like I was drunken because I was so sleepy, tired, and hungry plus the very very cold temperature.

 

The tracking was great because I could see amazing stars in the sky that I couldn’t see when I was in home. And the scenery of the city night was awesome. We could see the view of Jogja in the night and it’s romantic.

 

We finished our tracking in the morning when the sun came up and I could see beautiful sunrise. After tracking, we had outbound. It was fun though my clothes were wet.

We left Wonogondang about 4.30 p.m by bus. In the journey back to the university, I fell asleep because I was sooooo tired and didn’t have energy anymore. When I opened my eyes, I had arrived in university. Then I came home by car.

 

EWD was great moment and gave me so many experience. I also could find another amazing friends. Thanks EWD.
