gila, capek banget gw 5 hari, tapi puas banget.
dan gw naek 2 kilo *jeng jeng jeng jeng!!*
places we visit:
menara kudus: isinya menara jam, makam sunan kudus, mesjid, dan sekumpulan orang paling rasis yang ada di kudus (for one thing, I hate racist bi*ches more than anything, even more than know-it-alls). lumayan tempatnya, sayang terang banget, dan gw ga bawa tripod (yea, that's stuid of me)
Museum Kretek: a paradise for smokers! satu2nya yang kurang disini: mereka ga jual rokok. (-___-) lumayan lah buat pengetahuan tambahan. dan gw baru tau, nenek moyang gw dan teman2nya tu penyebab kebanyakan orang di Indonesia merokok.
...lho kok gitu dri?
iye, mreka yg pertama kali bikin pabrik rokok di Jawa.
....kren kan? hehehe
no wonder the habit runs in the family lol
next, kita ke semarang. nginep di hotel horison slama 2 malem. di kudus juga 2 malem.
di semarang kita ke Gedong Songo, Museum Kereta Api, Mesjid agung, gereja gedongan, Gereja Blendug, Lawang Sewu, Klenteng apa gitu, dan gang salak. tempat fav gw: Pagoda Alokithesvara.
di gedong songo, ada 9 candi. cuman gw cman naek ampe ke3, maklum, tempatnya ah ga enak, ama gw ngehemat batere (alesan lo dri bilang aja dah capek lol)
terus kita ke museum kereta api. tempatnya gitu2 aja, cuman ada kereta yang bisa dinaekin jalan keliling gitu sejam. kayanya ih seru, cuman gw ga dapet tempat duduk *you don't know how ignorant and unpolite some people can be just to get what they want.. (grumbles)*
abis itu kita ke pagoda.
....and here in this place my luck turns back and kicked my ass
dari semua tempat, kenapa, I repeat, KENAPA BATERE KAMERA GW ABIS????? GAH $%^#^%^@(*#&$^#
padahal, pas itu lagi sore, lagi bagus banget light-nya. sumpah, nyesel ga charge batere gw. gah
......untung nyokap bilang besok ke situ lagi pas malem (dan gw emang berniat kesitu pas malem, dibalik setiap hujan, ada pelangi dibelakangnya (halah sok puitis lo dri haha))
after that we went back to the hotel to rest and stuff. I went to the bar to have some drink and smoke. and I travelled back and forth between malls. and went to the rooftop. got some amazing shots here.
the next morning, kita ke mesjid agung. dari segi arkitektur, mesjid ini emang sumpah kren. ada sky towernya lagi kaya carlsberg tower di singapore. mesjid merangkup tempat wisata. hehehehe
abis itu keliling kota lama kita. gw dapet banyak shot gereja bagus, indoor and outdoor.
lanjut ke lawang sewu, tempat paling terkenal di semarang.
"lawang sewu" atau thousand doors, atau pintu seribu, atau... err... ga tau lagi deng, tu gedung bekas kantor kereta belanda. tapi pas jepang kesini dijadiin kantor plus penjara plus torturing place mreka. makanya pas harry panci..err..panca ke situ di dunia laen horor banget
who're you gonna call? HARRY PANTJA!!!
back to the topic....
ga nyangka gw di lawang sewu ada stain glass window segede gajah! sumpah kern banget dah. perfect for a shillouette shot.
sebenernya kalo kita rame2 lawang sewu ga serem. being alone, well that's another story...
ampe dungeonnya gitu rame banget dah. wew.. tapi banyak shot bagus juga disini. ada toilet kunonya, busetdah, gaul haha
next we went to some chinese temples. did some cool shots, meet some cute girls, blablabla
after that we went back to the hotel. I drank and smoke again, and waited fer grandpa to show up at the hotel. after that, kita balik lagi ke pagoda itu
...and My God, the night sky was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
we came at the right time and at the right moment (okay, that doesn't sound right somehow)
bulannya lagi terang2nya dikelilingi awan, terus pagodanya juga lampunya nyala gitu, beuh mantep banget dah sumpahhhhhh......

well, I guess that's about it.
I'm listening to "Monuments and Melodies" by Incubus. very cool hits compilation. and I'm reading "Fragile Things" by Neil Gaiman. very very good read.
