Yogjarkarta 2

Wah its been long time i had written a blog!...Before i continue my story, i will like to pay tribute to my uncle-in-law(my aunt's husband ) who just past away in a work accident last Sat (3 december2005) . He was a truck driver and is to be said a sobber worker who had just attended a wedding dinner came to work.Due to his carelessness or shall i said his irresponsible- damn him to hell had cause a life. Pity my aunt.... Their wedding day with my family-11 years ago...






Oh yah my dad had a bike accident a week before- may ALLAH protect him.

Alrite let put the sadness behind and life must continue (althought its to swallow the pain may take forever)




Jokjak





Ok where was i ....oh yah the history in jokjak.

Kraton(Palace)
Its an old palace where the king had the ceremony there...It is still use for coronation.




but all i can say this place is suprising nothing just that only...but near to it is called TamanSari or Water palace cause it to be said the king travel for one place to another by a small boat.



part of water palacewat you pointing at?nice angle

let say it's raining or escaping away from enemy ,the king had under tunnel led to another palace.

and the tunnel also led to a underground mosque. This is nice. Cause they had two floors.Upper for mens and lower for ladies or vice versa (can't remeber- heheh never listen to may tour guide properly) and under great influence of ISLAM, they build 5 bridge stairs representing 5 muslim pillar. and below the stairs is the water fountain where they took their abolution.

1) said no god but allah and muhammad is our prohpet
2) pray 5 times a day
3) go haj if afford
4) fast during Ramadhan
5) must donate to the poor of a certain amount(zakat)

This part of the palace -which has been rebuild but where the real brick is still inside was where the King spent with his wives and maiden...It is to be said he had quite a number of woman and the wives were seperated according to his liking... .

This is like a tower where he would pick the woman for the night.
Frame of the bed another room where he practice spritually and spent for few weeks. a messenger will stop in fornt of the thing we standing and sent his message across. where they store their arms....they work nice with angels. and lastly this is the back gate of the palace.


Which lead us to end of the story ...look out for part 2 and three....heheheh
