Hong Kong maybe heheheh... Let's put all of that aside and try to finish up my JOkjak story

Jojak

Oh gosh i like almost forgot what i did there....Let's see....Ok now i know....Let's start with Prabanam Temple

This place has a myth to it. As far as what i had learned there, a warrior really wanted to marry this princess and the condition was that this warrior had to built 1000 temples within a fortnite. As he knows that is impossible, he got helped from suprenatural genie to build it for him. As the princess can see that his plans worked. She summon something which can't remeber to distract his worked. Then he really got angry and cursed in to this stone.

More of the pictures i took of the place

Another historic temple is Borubudur...It is the largest Buddha Stuppa in the world...

People are rushing up the to the top....

Parts of The Borubudur

The craving on the bricks....which tells the story

The abstract photo

The nice contrast

Buddha seat over the wall???

This is a shelter made to protect the real buddha statue inside. Bandits like to steal it away and sell it for big money. Ppl believe that by touching the buddha statue, it may brings good luck.

Enough for now...will bring you the last episod of this trip next time....

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

Yogjakarta

Busy Busy With wat also i donno.....today last day of fasting and tomorrow is HAri Raya....To all my friends... yah i did complete one month of fasting ...yeah!( Hope to lose weight also hehehehe)

Selamat Hari Raya....Happy Deepavali....Happy Holiday!

Oklah back to my travelling experience.....well this year i think somewhere early this year ... i made another trip to Indonesia again but this time round to yogyakarta or better known as Jok Jak. Its such a historical place.

Hmmm.... Well where shall i start first...let me think back when i reached Jakarta i stayed in a cheap hotel for a night before leaving on my trip to Jok Jak. We took the morning flight but we realised one thing that we couldnt get a hotel! Gawat(means chialat in Bahasa Indonesia)! So before we took our flight the next day we went to Hotel counter in the air port and call all the hotel possible can...But so sad we can't get any. Kanchong.....btw we on budget trip...and even then their five star are almost running out of rooms and left with the suites which is more expensive. This is due to the school holidays there and Indonesian really take a break and off to their holidays. But finally we managed to get a hotel with is quite reasonable. Since its quite cheap we took a suite for all of us to stay and also thought its so run down so we try hard not to expect much. But to our suprise...its not bad..Got swimming pool , free breakfast and bunglow and etc...But abit run down ....but its okleh!...The hotel called Hotel Brongto-near to all historic places somemore and cafe

Let me show you the pic....

Our hotel!the cafe near by called monico...indonesian own steak house...good and cheap

Ok i leave the best story for later....Need to clean up my room for hari raya!

Selamat Hari RAya Maaf Zahir & Batin

Bali 2

Ok back with My Bali Story....
Well they don't call beach resort for nothing...well here is the beach where is about to Sunset, isnt it romantic?
Wish could be there all the time.... The look of my resort


so the next day we wnt to their historic worship places. One of them is called Gua Gajah or translate in English "Elephant Cave"
When i asked the guide why is it called Gua Gajah,(thinking there were elephants around) but it is because the streams there are big as elephant.

Next stop is a bit away from Kuta, it is called Kitamani. A beautiful sight where you can over see a inactive volcano and a valley.Breath taking....but sometime the seller there keep pestering you to buy their goods.So can be quite irratating....

Hmmm... the day is too fast to end without shopping. So ever been to a shopping cente in front of a beach? Come to Discovery Mall....

Don't miss out its HARD ROCK CAFE!

Surfing back home!!!!
