Assalamualaikum teman-teman… firstly
I’d like to tell you that now im in Palembang after taking three days holiday
in Bangka Island. Don’t worry about the short term of holiday, I can sure you
this holiday took a very bless memory, full of love, happiness,natural,
unforgettable of course. So , how will I tell you the stories in Bangka? Sure I
wanna write the moment here. Let me begin with my husan family introduction.
Wait… not too long ok.
Let’s get to now our prestigious
grandparents. Mr. Husan Haluan, the great grandfather, he actually quiet don’t
like travelling. But finally he could integrate in this tour . It was proven in
the holiday he successfully was cried by the surprise made by his old wonder
children. Then, Mrs. Husnah, very love travelling, getting delight in this
journey, but unfortunately Nyai didn’t participate full during the tour coz it was better for
her to take a sleep while we all were playing wildly at the beach. Next, let’s say thank you to all our parents, they
are, Alak Doin & Alak Yanti, Pakngah Pi & Makngah Ida, Makwo Ap &
Pakwo Atat, Pakcik Liza & Makcik Maya, Makngah Ati & Pakngah Heri, and
last couple Uncu & Pak Uncu. Then,
the 19 kiddos who participated to make
this journey alive are Odo, Rifat, Nurul, Ican, Ghina, Mahrun, Adzkia, Ilman,
Eya, Dang, Miko, Reto, Ocik, Babam, Amirah,Putri, Atar, Naurah, Malik.
4.30 a.m, 2 syawal 1438 H. All
family groups left their home after packing things the last night, toward the
SMB II Airport, we took both taxi and our own cars. My family arrived first in
the airport hm..maybe in case of our house site is near enough. All members got
out of the car sprightly and didn’t forget to take all the baggage. I
positioned my self as a documenter so I began to shoot my family members. Then
not long after that Ghina CS and Amirah CS brought Datuk Nyai followed by Ican CS arrived. Wow that’s
amazing the moment of collecting our baggage became one and the super makwo
managed the pre-check in process. Yeay… we successfully passed the X-ray and
next we waited for more than 30 minutes while makwo and other parents checked
in. Nah, because we were bored so the remain of us decided to go upstair
because there was a waiting room without need of official ticket before the
real boarding room. Ohohoo… don’t worry Nyai had been comfortable with her
wheel chair, so she went up through the lift with Datuk uwowowooo. Cekrekk…
first group photo had taken in the Palembang Traditional House Miniature.
Unconsciously, it was 5.30, we were panic how to took shubuh prayer coz it
didn’t enough to take a pray in the airport, boarding gate had opened, okay
just took a pray in the plane. For your information we didn’t be like our
sitting expectation because we all separated not in group well-sit. It’s okay.
You know we got delayed for more than one hour yes it was 3 hours. The reason
still made sense yeah it was a fog day and more light more fog. Oh so we
arrived at 9 a.am.
If you see then, this Depati Amir
Airport in Pangkal Pinang is new and looks minimalis. The departure and arrival
gate just separate by a pair of stairs. Because Ghina and Me came late at the
baggage claim suddenly Makngah Ati asked Ghina about a goodie bag or something
that suspected it was left behind. Ghina felt guilty but luckily the bag was there.
Yeay….
I didn’t expect how many luggage
that we brought. It caused taking very more time until we could meet the guider
and began the day. Yeah all parents very took care of us. So we as children had
to be aware of ourself especially the bocah-bocah. During our way to see the
accommodation wohooo guess wht? It was a pink Hello Kitty Mini Bus, I realized
the wall street art filled with doodle about welcome to Bangka Islands and
maybe some didn’t! . So I beg to Odo to take some photos of me, ghina, inga,
azdkia,and rifat. I was also impressed that a woman tour guide waved a paper
with a writing “Husan Family”. In my mind this was really a tour program that
organized by HiBabelYo Tour agency. Next most everybody realized there was a
large photobooth. All members of husan family took some photo neatly helped by
a stranger man. It was time to move in the baggage to the bus. Then everybody
took its steps to enter the bus. So the formation was the younger in the front
side and most of the older at the back. The tour guide introduced himself, He
is Yuda, very kind to let us asked about everything in Bangka. When Babam got
his chance he asked to Kak Yuda like this “ are you a boy or a girl?” hm I know
that’s not polite but it was true he looks like a sissy. Why could he make
people confused by her (?) eh his style?
Where would we go? The first
destination is Kaolin Lake. This is not a natural lake. It was created because
the tin quarry ( tambang timah ) so the water pH is too low. It made no
creatures live in its water. From Pangkalpinang to koba it tooks two and a half
hours that made the trio Rienti Dang, Babam, and Ocik became impatient keep
asking how more time could we arrive? It
was placed in the rural of Koba far from the city, yeah not an amazing city coz
Bangka has no it but it has amazing scenery. MasyaAllah… finally we arrived at
the site, from the distance I could just look a soil mount, the blue iced-like
lake water hasn’t been seen yet. Then we went out the bus just need to walk
about 500 meters but why datuk took the wrong way, oh in fact he wanted to find
a place to take a pee in the forest huhu. Tour guide said that we had just 20
minutes visiting. Heheh after taking family photos, Ican, I, Ilman, Eya, Ghina,
Inga, Aski, Odo explored the down site without fences so we felt satisfied to
take nice landscape photo and the most favorite style is jumping and dab style.
The day was a hot shiny day with darker clouds.
It was 2 p.m. already, we had to
reach the hotel so the hotel we checked in was Tanjung Pesona Beach and Resort.
At first the driver directly took us to the Nirwana Restaurant to took lunch
and there we met Alak and fams. The restaurant faced at the beach so we could
enjoy the sea view while eating. The food was chicken and omelet with sauce,
fish pindang , kerupuk, yeah that’s it nah because we were late we got the
remains of food there and this moment taught us to come earlier and grab as
much as food we can eat to get provits and also to support our growth phase
hehehehe. It’s okay^^
After lunch we continued to gather
and get key room eachgroups. Like me, the NGMAN got sakura room 4. Yeay. We
saved all our bags, chose the bedroom, woo luckily we got extra 3 beds, tour the room, take mannequin challenge
, then we finish the pray, leaving the room, and got an announcement that there
was a welcoming drink from the hotel. We drank it at the front office. There
was available a pale colour icy drink, actually it was quiet orange so I bet that was
an orange juice but in fact after we poured into our glass it became pale
yellow then I guessed it was jeruk nipis. It was wrong that in fact Bangka
usually served jeruk kunci drink. It was not bad. It could make my throat clearrrr.
It was 4 p.m. already. We need take
a journey toward the Parai Mackerel (tenggiri) Beach as one of the so much
beautiful beaches in Bangka Islands. It took only 20 minutes, yeah quite near
guys. At the beach land as an instruction from Makwo that we had to took a
photo first in hurry coz the Amirah and friends were impatient to swim so the
results of photo is amburadul. Fine. Everybody was there hm.. except Nyai who
stood by in the bus and Datuk stayed in Tanjung Pesona.
This beach has many big stones like
a Stonehenge for being an icon in bangka’s beach. So many creatures especially
Indonesian people swam in the shallow part of the sea yeah it’s called beach. In our
minds (Me, Ghina, and Ican) if we take some photos there with the scenery of
people, it would be worst so we took a look to another side of the beach near a
small bridge where the area was lack of people and luckily the view of beach
and the rock was more wonderful. It pushed up our adrenaline while we were
climbing the rock until we got the peak so we could see the sea widely. Many
times we took photos until makngah Ida came along to force us please don’t
spend the time just by ourself coz the others wanted also were taken photos by
us. I realized that we were sure staying away that caused we lost the moment of
swimming at the beach. Just then we appeared, everybody was preparing to get
home. So in this place happened 2 different of happy dimentions. No problem :)
that’s all still positive and we all didn’t forget our cheerful emotions of the
day.
Next. Next is Magrib time…
We
just continued to fulfill our dinner quota at Aroma Laut Halal Restaurant
(although it was full of chinese ) near Parai Beach. Maybe we grab about 6 or 7
dinning tables to gather us and ate the dinner. The food was all about seafood,
like Tenggiri bakar, shrimp, squids, and the veggie was cah kangkung and
capcay. The tenggiri was so delicious coz this fish contained no spined-bone
and it’s so fresh from the sea. Nyam nyam… Nayla said that we need to take a
lot of dinner to keep our tummies full during the night till the breakfast
served this also because there was no canteen or food court near our hotel
room. Then because the food stock was supported by TPS Food had runned out on
the bus way.
Finally arrived at hotel again, took
a rest, didn’t forget to clean our body before sleeping. Hoho in my room
happened a long bathroom queue coz everygirl used it long- time. Be patient… ya
just be patient…that night all got well sleeping after taking a full activities
all in the new beautiful places
Turn in the second day, 3 syawal.
This morning I didn’t feel the sunrise coz me too lazy to go out the room and
this made I regret. Huaaaaa…ok ok no problem the breakfast was great I ate all
maximally. The plan of today was
photoshoot taking of Husan Big Family with the white blue dresscode. Nice!!! No
office boy could pass and help us so Me and my brother struggled for preparing
the great angle by depending on his gorilla pod. So we placed it on the high cement while we all sat neatly on the
stairs in front of Sakura Room. Sure it was hard to set the camera
proporsionally. Yeah it was not bad kok for the results. Next booth we took in
front of the Tanjung Pesona Monument. It was harder to make the camera stabil
coz there was no place to stand the gorilla pod, so without asking any office
boy, Pakngah Pi inisiatively took a pink trash can to make the camera standing.
Wow what a creative man !
Nah for your information this
processing didn’t run smoothly coz the kiddos especially Amirah was very
impatient to continue her swimming coz of her obsession of the beach or pool or
maybe that swimming activity is her hobby. So camera shot her upset face. What
a pity ! also Atar at all times moved moved and moved…
10 a.m. after photoshoot
Everykiddos
except me, ghina, and inga decided to swim in the pool no matter how hot the
day yeah it was saved by sunblock. Thanks for the endorment. Hehehehe. So these
three sleeping beauty slept until askia and eya came to get rinse. Oh yeah this
day was the day of sadness coz my mom and dad had to go home first in case of
preparing the departure of Pakngah Pi to Aussie this was the sad thing that my
school holiday will lack of ma dad and of course that’s too long to wait for
the next school holiday. I cried while I was seeing the bluebird car has gone
away. But I fight my feelings by planning to explore the far away beach went
out of Tanjung Pesona beach so that’s a Gold Rat ( Tikus emas maybe tikusnya
gede) Beach.
We
covered our face mainly and some part of our hand with sunblock ready to hit
the sun. Jeng..jeeeeeng.. in fact there was no strong sunlight but it was gloomy
cloud. At first I lend nyai’s wheelchair sorry for not taking permission first
and using it wildly. So I drove the wheelchair with Eya sat on it and went
toward the site that could see the path condition to the beach clearly. We went
out at 3.30 p.m.( all until Dang except rifat and odo just for a while) set in our adventure spirit struggled in the
strange way to find the way to the Tikus Emas beach. there, we found the curved
beach line as a quiet place to play. I brave my self to jump down the water
swimming with the kiko( the shape liked es kiko) si pelampung it could carry away us. Woo it was fun.
Greatly Ilman got an amazing shell below the seawater. As the sky became dark
and darker, we all got fear so fearrrrrr. Everybody please came up rain would
came, yes right it rained heavily. We all run and run the way to get home no
umbrella even the raincoat we all got very wet. We also were worried coz we
brought some electronic devices like camera and handphone. Although Ican had
tried to save his iPhone 6s in my people
said waterproof bag but still it now has died. Poor Ican. Please accept my
condolences ….
Then
in the way, Eya the Pop mie addict shout at us to get stop coz she looked a
small hut sold pop mie. At first it was hard to get to the hut coz others
wanted to continued not to stop so just both of us bought 10 cups at cost 5
thousand rupiahs. Finally after 30 minutes walking we arrived at our hotel then
Pakngah Heri gave us standing applause as we could hit the heavy rain.
Watch
out… please don’t hold up our soul. We wanted to swim more during the rainy
day. As a result we swam in the swimming pool then getting up coz many people
came to bother our privacy and it also made sense that it had been 5.30 p.m (magrib
cuy)
Next
we successfully made our room full of wet on the floor and because of the
hanging wet clothes on the black wardrobe door near the bathroom. So we had to
take a bath quickly, took a pray, and got ready for the dinner. Coz we didn’t
want got just remain foods. As a result we became the first unnormally eater
that night. Then we could enjoy Pakcik liza, Makngah Ati, Alak Doin, and Makcik
Maya sang some songs. Actually we planned to swim more this night but then we
realized… Okay night had been colder even in our AC room so we got in and just turned
on Makwo’s Laptop watching Beauty and The beast. But it was funny coz we
collapsed one by one so we couldn’t finish the movie except Inga and Ghina (who
slept early and woke up while we were sleeping).
4 syawal 1438 H, Rabu June 28 2017
This
morning I eagerly did not want to miss the glory beach covered with its
beautiful sunrise. So I beg Ghina to reach the east beach quickly so we can watch the
sky brought out the sun so it colored orange but just for a while coz
clouds hid it to save us from the heat in that morning. We enjoyed the moment
like we freezed the time for about an hour. There we took some photos more
about the surround nature and I tried to use slow shutter menu to create a fail
perfect photography hehe #fail. Then we decided to
go to Nirmala Resto. It had just been 7 a.m, there’s no many people even our
family. When I took some meals the officer came to me and ask our rent room
hotel and ask the number of members there, I was confused and a little anxious
coz we should do registry first before we could took the breakfast. Oh I
felt guilty but that’s nevermind….
Went back to our room, we packed fast, preparing to check out. I thought, right, our
room was the latest room to get ready. Honestly our room also the most messy
room coz we didn’t ask the hotel to clean it yesterday, we intended to use it
happily without any limit about rule of cleaness. More late coz we had to clear
out gas from Pelampung Eya that was quiet big size. It was so tired.
Okay so at 9 a.m our bus left the
Tanjung Pesona then reached the destination to Tikus Emas beach. This beach was
near the Tanjung Pesona, it was like
they were in one beach group. Others thought we could play banana boat or
anything but in fact we couldn’t coz we just had 15 minutes there. As a result,
we just took some photos with tikus emas statue as the background then some got
down to the beach, almost, yeah took nice shoot there! You can check on our
Instagram !
Next,
toward the near beach, Tongaci beach. The main tourist attraction there was the
Tukik-tukik ( cute, right ?) or we called it turtle. We visited the tukik captive, it started from
the baby, teenage, until adult. So the adult cage was more vast and dirty too,
it wasn’t liked the one in Bali. Okay. Nah, besides the tukik captive there was
De locomotief, a recreation park. There was so many colorful china umbrella that
could be an object that kindly instagenic to post to Instagram. They were so cute
and cool. This place included pricely museum, teracctota armies statue,
playground and there was also a library, but unfortunately the books here were
unavailable to read coz the keeper was so fierce to forbid us touching, bringing,
even reading the rich knowledge books. Hm… sayang sekali. But luckily I could
bring one book and I wasn’t caught by the keeper. Yeeaaayyy…
Next
visit, we went to Bangka Botanical Garden, before going there I had seen some
people photo sharing in BBG and I saw so neat cemara tree that had simetry
shape and became conical from a distance. This was good to capture the moment.
Yes right, we took jumping style there and kak yuda made us two boomerang
videos. That was great. Coz time had been rotate in 1 p.m. we trimmed our visit
and cuss went to BTS ( the word was in the bus ) oh evidently it stood for
Bangka Traditional Snack. This store sold souvenirs, and it was vary on Bangka
snack. Next we stopped at otak-otak ASE. This small expensive fish cake was
good enough laaa but still Palembang’s is da best.
After
that we went to Depati Amir Airport,uncu’s fam took a different airlines coz
they had to go back to Jakarta and met their UTI. Besides, we got 6.15 p.m. Lion
airlines. While we were waiting the older checked in, the kiddos played in the
empty room. I was so tired but fun playing with Atar. But sadly we delayed for about an hour, for
your information I got a sit right in
emergency exit door and you know I was so lucky coz the bottom space was larger
for my feet, I could get relax yuhuuuuu.
so we arrived at Palembang at almost 8 p.m. and luckily there was still pakngah
Pi. I was shocked, So the fact was that Pakngah Pi missed the correct schedule, he thought it
was in the morning but the correct one was in the Wednesday evening. Wkwkwkwk
why didn’t he spend more times in Bangka.
Each
family got ready to go back their own homes. My mom who had been in Palembang
here to pick up us. Then Nyai and Makwo rode our car on the way to T 8. We ate
pempek and otak-otak in Datuk House hmm… Alhamdulillah it filled my tummy for
the long night. Okay it’s time to go home….as I arrived at my home, Odo and I
didn’t forget to open box of Oleh-oleh….^^
Prepared
to sleep everyone…….
Had
a nice sleep….
P.s.
I’m sorry for the messy grammar, the wrong word, the error type also my all
fault. I’m kind-hearted to let you give mee some comments. Hope you
enjoy and inspire from my story. I think that’s all enough. Thank you very
much…( oh yeah why English? Coz it is more simple and short than in Bahasa)
