June 2022.
The main reason i visited Medan was attending my highschool bestfriend's wedding, Septi. She is a Bataknese girl, the one and only person who can make me laugh till cry, so far.
The wedding actually held in a village called Dolok Saribu, it's Septi's husband village. It took 4-5 hours (i barely recall) by car from Medan. So, Arul and I had to drive from Medan at around 4 am, when we just had our sleep at around 11 or 12 pm because the holy matrimony was started at 8 am. Don't ask me how the road trip was. It was a normal dawn trip with talks, musics and 'wow' words that i kept saying to Arul about what i saw during the trip untill we got lost by google map.
Our car was lead to a narrow road that turned out to be local farmer access and for motorcycle only. And our car was stuck in muddy road. Alone. Just the two of us and our car. We half dressed up for a wedding. Long story short... in the middle of nowhere, no one, no any other way (we already tried our best to get our car tires out of the mud) we met someones that happened to pass by for morning field working and help us got through this.
We finally arrived at the wedding. Even we also had to walk up to the church with strong independent 'inang-inang', on muddy road for the second time. But it was a beautiful traditional wedding. And the story about people cry during someone's wedding was real! I shed happy tears, my tiny bestfriend got married and couldn't believe i was able to witness it.
It was my first time attending a friend's wedding and happened to be the 'my trip my adventure!' wedding, unforgettable and beautiful memory. And grateful for Arul, who was with me during this trip. Sat together with 'inang-inang' being the most handsome in the room, no signal and not complaining, kurang tidur setir subuh2 buat nemenin ke nikahan and told me to sleep instead.

2nd trip to Sumatra island.
This time i went to North Sumatra to attend my highschool-bestfriend's wedding. The trip took 4 days, 3 nights with hotel hooping, city hooping and a road trip.
During the nights in Medan, i had the best 'mi aceh' in my life... it made me cry.. and still makes me cry when i remember about this 'mi aceh' (i wish someday i can eat the real 'mi aceh' in Banda Aceh). Thanks to Arul, who accompanied me during North Sumatra trip. He's a Mandailing-Medanese guy that i met and happened to be in Surabaya, Java.
We also visited the Great Mosque of Medan and prayed there. 2 nights in Medan was not enough...
summer 2020.
still in Covid-19 pandemic and Covid won't stop me from this annual trip even this time i had to be wiser on choosing destinations and anything. Went to Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia for a short getaway. This time, I went with my mom, dad and sister by car. It took 6 hours from Surabaya to Yogyakarta and we spent 3 nights there. Of course with health protocol, we minimized the stop during road trip and we packed our lunch and snacks from home. Well, it was one of the most memorable trips in my life because it happened during Covid pandemic that might be noted in some history books or biology books that my children would read

Djati Lounge, Malang, Indonesia.
A restaurant with Javanese vernacular-modern-contemporary building style. Went there for lunch with my family, I was dazzled by the atmosphere and space experience which was so relaxing, visually gave tranquility and gave feeling like at home. Yes, 'Djati' means teak so that the most used material in this restaurant was wood, especially teak (I guess). Unfortunately, in fact, seem that they used concrete or steel for the structure then covered it with teak wood plank. But I guess my disappointment was replaced by the existence of 'Gebyog' which is traditional Javanese door and traditional wood carvings.
floras in Indonesia or it was called Indische that were well documented and described in this dutch old book. We can see it now from the pattern on some Batik clothes that are inspired by these beautiful floras.

Penglipuran Village, Bali.
This summer, i got another chance to come back to Bali. I visited Penglipuran Village. It is marked as the cleanest village in Indonesia and third in the world. The most serene, peaceful and still preserve their traditional cultures even though tourists come to visit frequently. Every housing complex with Balinese Gate (well, i don’t know what to call so..) consists of several buildings and several families, also the most important thing is a family temple. Yes, one big family, several families, live together. That is how Balinese people live. Togetherness.
.
Oh, i forgot to mention that since Penglipuran Village is now a tourist destination, every housing complex sells souvenirs such as Balinese woven fabric, clothes, Barong masks, woven baskets, bakso and other food, ice creams and many more. I can’t help my self not to look at those beautiful souvenirs. They are handmade, and i love handmade stuff because it’s priceless. It was a wonderful visit. Beautiful architecture, beautiful views, beautiful local people and beautiful cultures.
