Vacation At Janty's

A collage of three continuous shot which shows sequence of two children jumping off to the beach. This was taken at Purwahamba Beach Tegal, a one hour stop after long journey from jakarta.

5 days vacation, away from office stuffs. hmmm... being so hard to decide where to go, asked a friend in KL but she already had a plan and couldnt accompany. Again and again i decided to mom's house Semarang. (as always). About two weeks before the journey started, i talked to Janty bout my plan, what a coincidence she had a plan to visit her hometown yogyakarta. Semarang and Yogya is not so far! I started to feel the excitement. Anxiously we made some arrangements and finally decided for me to spend two days at janty's. Later we know that Kemal, Shinta and Pras would join. The more the marrier! 17 of August right at 10am i, my sister and kemal departed from my house. I felt the flavor of our independence day along the way to Semarang. After having lunch in Cirebon for some complimentary meals from Wendy's, we continued our trip which was purwahamba beach for an our, dinner at ikan burung for 30mins, and arrived at mom's house at 9pm. The very next day, my brother drove me to Alastuwa train station, an old station where i wanted to take its photograph, and to the brand new Masjid Agung of Semarang. Time pointed at 5pm and i insisted to walk around old city side and Tawang train station before going back home. On the way back home feeling hungry we had chicken satay on jalan Gajahmada, it's a street vendor where they sell satay on the sidewalk. On 9pm we had dinner together at a chinese restaurant my favorite. 19 of august at 11am i leave for yogya to Janty's, where the true journey waiting. Janty's house is close to Mount Merapi, on the upland. The air is cold, clean and fresh. Thanks God, they dont have so much affected by Merapi explosion. When i entered her house, hospitality embrace me, how her family welcomed me and asked me for lunch. What a sweet family. I captured some photos during my stay there, including when i learn how to produce a fire at Janty's old kitchen. Wonderful!
