Writing is like a therapy for me. I can observe, assess and share my feelings, thoughts, memories and anything what I have been through. Because one day, yes, one day, all of them will be precious things to remember.
How are you doing my blogy? Maaf yak baru nyamperin. To be honest, emang nggak ada bahan cuap-cuap buat kamu. I had a lot of stories actually, tapi nggak layak posting 🙁 Well, ada satu cerita nih buat kamu waktu ane lagi outing kantor di Bulukumba. Pasti udah bosan kan ya? Bulukumba lagi bulukumba lagi.
Speaking of which, entah kenapa udah 2 perusahaan yang saya tempati, setiap outing pasti destinasinya di Bulukumba. Nggak bisa dipungkiri emang, Bulukumba (Bira beach) the most popular destination di Sulawesi Selatan. Buktinya, waktu bus kami markir di Rumah Makan menuju Bira, ada sekitar 10 Bus gede yang markir di tempat yang sama yang kebetulan juga lagi mau ke Bira yang isinya para karyawan BRI. Outing kali ini sangat well prepared banget, mulai dari survey villa, konsumsi, bus, games,sampai nyewa 5 photographer (video serta drone biar kekinian) 😛
Hari pertama,semua peserta harus memakai dresscode merah hitam. Kebetulan saya ditunjuk menjadi salah satu MC ( ambil kesempatan biar bisa nyuruh-nyuruh boss) hihih. kami berangkat jam 9 pagi pake Bus Damri, meeting point di Kantor. Tiba di Bira jam 3 sore, makan siang di Bantaeng.
Random kegiatannya adalah pastinya pembukaan acara, games, malem lanjut acara bakar-bakar seafoods, firefoworks party dirangkaikan dengan pemotongan kue dan tukeran kado. Kebetulan outing ini diadakan karena pencapaian target procurement cocoa beans 21K ton Sulawesi. Keesokan paginya, dilanjut dengan senam aerobik, games di pantai, pengumuman pemenang lomba, penutupan acara.
Yang bikin saya demen ama acara ini adalah selain menjalin keakraban dengan teman-teman dari luar daerah Makassar, saya dapat banyak hadiah HAHAHA (dapat kalung, dapat handuk (kalo ini rampasan) :P, dapat jam dinding, coklat cadburry, dan snakcs ) — Thanks yah udah nunjuk sebagai MC. It’ unforgettablelah pokoknya. Meskipun sehari doang, tapi ngakaknya luar biasa ..sampe-sampe nih mulut berasa tambah lebar 😛
TWO DAYS OFF EVERYBODY, IT’S TIME TO PACK, LET’S HIT THE ROAD!
My boyfriend and I went to Bulukumba by motorcycle. We started from Makassar. We were very enthusiastic since we’ve not been doing this since ages. Bulukumba became our destination. Nope , we did not threw a dart at Sulawesi map,it flashed out from our brain 😀
It needs about 5 hours to reach Bulukumba. When we were in town,we turned off the main road and headed along the main highway to Bira beach. It’s approximately 26 miles. The first spot was Bara Beach (actually that was my choise, my bae prefers Bira first to other places). At that moment, he mad at me 😀
Speaking of Bara Beach, it’s located in the same location with Bira Beach. They are twin. The difference is Bara is prettier than Bira. There are lots of coconut trees that you won’t find in Bira. Besides, the beach is very clean , white sands ,really soft and the sea with very crystal water. If you want to go here with your friends, office mates ,your bae or your family, there is a long camping area for free.
Well, after all the drama (he does not mad anymore), he asked me to go to the beach for swimming. Before that, we put a sunblock on our body first. It’s midday, extremely hot. Don’t you dare not to put it that on your face, unless if you would be like a steamed crab 😛
The second spot was Bira Beach. We spent for some minutes looking at the blue sea, some boats, hotels, banana boats and other travelers for sure. My boyfriend met his officemate at that time and had a short conversation before leaving the place.
The last but not least, the most-instagrammable-spot in Bulukumba named Apparalang. It needs about 30 minutes to get there. The view is unbelievable. The scenery is marvelous and it’s like Pura Uluwatu in Bali. The cliffs ,the blue sea, JUST PERFECT!.

Under the Sun!
What a wonderful trip! A day but its worth. Well, I do it often (a road trip), and I know that I’ll live some unexpected moments during the trip, but I appreciate that.
Great ,adventurous memories. Surely looking for the next awesome trip!
It’s been a while since I wrote a personal update, so I felt it was time for one of those.
My friends came to my hometown and stay for a couple days. It’s been years we have not met each other. Bone is my hometown’s name. Watampone is the capital of Bone regency. My friends are Ahmads ( three of Ahmad), they are Ahmad Adha, Ahmad Rayhan Agung and Ahmad Muhaemin. Ahmad Adha (Dede) sent me a message on LINE that they were heading to my place …around 6 am, January 30, 2014. I woke up and yeap.. surprised after read his message.I thought they were going to my place in the next day.
They finally got my place around 8 am, it’s little bit hard to find my place at that time,they asked me to wait for them in front of my home.
tteeddeeenngg——–
I saw them in a car and they yelled me loud while waved their hands. It was happy Friday morning ever. I prepared my room and let them put their stuff on it. They made this kind of short trip because luckily, Friday (January 31) was a public holiday and they were off on Saturday.
In the afternoon I took them to “TANJUNG PALETTE”. It is one of tourism objects in Bone and popular enough. It used to crowd and a lot of people spent their time in holiday or stay there. It is located around 17 kilometers from downtown. We passed some wide green rice fields, old houses and sugar palm trees. I personally have been visiting here at least once a month
We bought tickets IDR 16.000 and parked the car safely. We enjoyed our afternoon moments while waited for sunset. I was so glad take them there, seemed they were glad too. I love to explore new things even in the place where I live, it’s so uplifting!
And the night came !
Bought some snacks “GORENGAN” such as bakwan, tahu goreng and martabak.
Parked the car in the middle of “LAPANGAN MERDEKA”.
Ordered some drinks. A little bit funny when Ahmad Muhaemin ordered EXTRA JOSS , special one. I never taste that before. He said it’s good. I’m not so keen actually. Probably He lost of his energy then he ordered it. Extra Joss is one of energy drink which designed for an active style (advs).
Chitchat, made funny conversations, discussed about our next trip.
Back home.
Watched series. Dede introduced me an awesome plus hilarious series. That’s 2 BROKE GIRLS. I am in love with this series. Dede and I were so excited and sometimes we laughed loud and lost of attention to Muhe and Rayhan. (they called us PONGORO means crazy).
this series
The other morning, we made it out to Bulukumba.Started at 3 pm from Bone and heading to traditional market to buy “SUKUN”. After hours, We got Bulukumba around 8 pm and directly looked for an inn. A comfortable and cheap one. hihih

And WE FOUND a place !!!
I forgot the name but the room was painted lame colors which I think was good enough. The beds were nice and firm, loads of pillows were supplied, nice clean towels, the toilets worked well and the room was clean and there was an air conditioning, TV, no Wi-Fi. All in all, this was a really decent budget choice in BIRA area.
The next day, Rayhan,Muhe and I went to Bara Beach. This is my first time in Bara, a couple times in Bira beach. Two totally different beaches. It is located in same area, but the sceneries are totally different. We made it !! Hope to see sunrise, apparently No Sunrise at all. We were late…late.. late.. 🙁
For our bestfriend, Fia
I took a short video once I touched the beach. So beautiful and peaceful. I damn LIKE it. White sands, it is not like sands, it is like flours. Yeah.. really soft.
I enjoyed my morning and played around with sands, crystal water, reefs and looked at some sexy coconut trees. I dare to say that this place is RECOMMENDED one.
We had our lunch in Bantaeng and we chosed BAKSO (meatball) for our lunch.

I didn’t let myself to fall asleep during this trip. I have never been this town before. I wanted to see people around city, the landmarks etc. I was so blessed and so excited came to other places. It was like hmmmm I am an honor stranger-not-danger person.
We got Makassar around 8 pm and felt tired after miles, so far it was an incredible trip. I wanted to congratulate Rayhan, he drove along this trip, made his records. He said 700 kilometers in 3 days 2 nights. WOW

SO… that’s our lovely weekends. I really thanks to my friends for took me and been a part of this trip.
Happy weekend, wonderful weekend, amazing weekend sepertinya sudah menjadi istilah yang cukup membosankan di kalangan para weekenders.. apalagi para pelancong-pelancong kalangan kakap. Kali ini saya menulis short-trip saya dengan istilah Queasy Weekend. Tau arti kata itu? Queasy menurut hasil terjemahan om google, itu berarti MUAL .. yup mual.. mual karena saking g’ bisa nahan tekanan luapan emosi dari dalam yang luar biasa akan pesona tanah Indonesia tercinta. (emank stand up comedy ) Saya tau pas kalian baca alinea pertama ini, pasti mau nggak mau harus baca sambungan kalimat ini. Tuh kan, Sampai sekarang juga masih baca dan terus baca . ahahah
