Where I've been

Three days of nothing but Jalan-jalan

Had a bit of a busy weekend... but I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

Saturday was invited to go to an overnight christmas party with Vando for his church.. but I decided not to go... Instead, I went jalan-jalan-ing wiht Heru and Amel. Was heaps of fun!

Saturday went n ate with Heru, then Amel picked us up from his kost, went to a distro pameran, heaps of clothes n stuff there, all locally made, heaps cheap, n funky designs. I take forever when shopping tho, and didn't wanna make the others bored, so we just had a quick look around before leaving. Amel still managed to buy a jacket. hehe After that it was off to Amplaz to swap a few (few thousand) timezone tickets that Amel had been collecting.. turned out to be over 5000!!! so she got a heap of pens, stationary, accessories, chocolate, drinks and ice cream.. haha.. HEAPS of stuff... (none of the good prizes were there, so instead of getting one awesome thing for 5000 tickets, she was forced to get HEAPS of cheaper stuff.. haha) still awesome, lol.. we got free ice cream n drinks =)  after putting all her stuff in the car we went up to the roof.. just to rest for a while, turned out we were there for about 3 hours or more! haha

Confuseeeeedddd... dunno where to go or what to do.. we drive around aimlessly before deciding on going to benteng.. while there Amel started talking about magelang (her town, about an hour from jogja) saying how she often comes to Jogja, but we haven't been there yet, n there's a few good things to see... So I jokingly said, "why don't we just go check it out tonight" ... nanti beneran loh! ... so we did! haha.. went home, grabbed my camera, then headed off to magelang. glad we went by car, cause it started to rain! in Magelang we went n saw the alun-alun, n then over to Amel's house, met her crazy dogs! haha... one of them, every time you look at it, it just starts rolling around on the floor.. haha... lucu. walked around her area, the houses n stuff are pretty interesting, not indonesian at all.. I think its probably Dutch design... just a guess tho.  Went n took photos EVERYWHERE haha, beside canons, a sign that said "save energy" but ironically had lights all over it so it could be seen at night. there was even a small version of Monas! hehe.

Back to Amel's place... now about 1:30 am.. We decide to go home, n Amel said she would take us! insane! so far... but ok, sure! lol. get back to Jogja and she is dead tired. Me n Heru didn't wanna let her drive back again when she was sleepy like that. so we all ended up sleeping at my kos.

Sunday we had breakfast at PKL at about 12:30.. haha then headed back to Amplaz, kalo nggak salah, played at one of the game centres there, not Timezone, but the same Idea. Bought drinks from McD n hung out near the fountain out the front. Amel had never been to Prambanan before, so why not now? we thought.. haha.. headed over to prambanan, but it was already closed... so I suggested we go to Ratu Boko again, neither of the other two had been there. its not a bad place, but didn't do much exploring again, as the sun was almost set when we got there... so we just went photo crazy instead.. haha

Time for more shopping! haha.. went to a distro on the Ring road (slackers kalo ga salah) I got a jacket =D (senangnyaaaa haha) Amel got a jacket (again) and a hat, n Heru bought a shirt. the guy at the counter said the Distro exhibition was still on n today was the last day, so the discounts are usually big. no one needed to tell us about a discount twice! we were there! haha.. we arrived at UNY and the place was completely packed!! motorbikes n cars everywhere! usually if you park a motorbike they tell you not to lock the steering, so they can move them around as people come and go... we were in a car tho... n the parking guy said not to use a hand break... for the same reason!!! haha.. so we parked where the car in front couldn't leave, n left the handbrake off just incase! crazy! haha

went around to the entrance and it was closed... a little annoyed that we were allowed in to park if it was already finished, we asked n apparently after it cleared out inside, they'd open the doors for more people to go in... we waited half an hour til 9pm... then we gave up.. haha.. but at least we got some shopping from the distro anyways right.

back to my kos to watch a movie... "What happens in Vegas" Amel fell asleep, but she had school the next day, so I wanted to wake her up... turns out her class was at 11am, so she stayed the night again, n in the morning headed back to Magelang. 

Today, waited for Heru to wake up... haha... I couldn't get back to sleep after Amel left at about 8am, so just went online. turns out Amel sms'ed me when she got home, the jacket she bought at the distro, and the jacket she bought at the exhibition were exactly the same!!! just a different colour! .. haha.. how can you forget what you bought yesterday??! aneh! 

Ice skating for a few hours today... everyone is back from bandung! (guess its not gonna be so quiet at the rink anymore...lol.. now im gonna have to share the ice again) everyone did really well tho!! almost every student came back with at least one gold!! some with SIX!! Sarah n Dewi got gold for everything they went in! crazy.. n Ninik did well with 2 out of 3 being gold!  and Yudhis did quite well too... I couldn't see Dimas' results tho.

anyways.. just got home n thought I'd put all this in words before I forgot! haha

Good night all =)
