OK, so I know I’ve been inactive on this blog for almost a week now, but I have my reasons. I’m traveling to Lake Toba with my friends on October 2nd, 2008. It’s so good a trip that I’ve been wishing we’re still having it. I really didn’t want it to end. But since I can’t control everything the way I wanted it, I’ll try to relieve my longing by sharing the experience here on this very blog of mine. This entry will be one hell of a recap. For the three days we’re there, I’ll document all of the memorable moments here, and so I’m going to start by Day One : October 2nd, 2008.
It was a Thursday, a day I’ve known to myself a bad day in my past. But now, I guess things have changed. Thursday no longer is a bad day for me.
Our little journey starts when Michael called me one day, to ask me if I wanted to be a part of the journey. I said yes, and so did other eighteen people who were : Michael, Cia Cia, Riwan, Yenni, Lia, Yuvina, Steven, Asiong, Hendrik, another Hendrik, A Chuan, Suwandy, Bandy, Ngariwan, Apau, Ellys, Susanty and Vera.
Seven girls and twelve guys, we began our journey in front of Sun Plaza, in a cold morning of October 2, the second day of Idul Fitri Holiday. While we’re waiting for the bus to pick us up, our journey had been surprised by something. A building near the Cambridge apartment had been on fire. We didn’t know what building that was, and I even thought that it was the Cambridge. But after we’re back from the trip, I learned that it was a restaurant on Gajah Mada Street.
But our bus eventually arrived, and we’re finally heading for Tebing Tinggi. It took about two and half hours. There, we picked up Cia Cia, Yenni and Lia. The journey continued to Pematang Siantar, which took yet another hour. There, we stopped at Yuvina’s house for lunch.
The bus was more crowded than ever after that, with twenty one people (including two drivers) and nineteen heavy bags, and a bunch of plastics that contained food, noodles, snacks, and our equipments. But in spite of that, we’re actually having fun. We’re singing by ourselves, since the lame bus didn’t provide us with any music devices. I was asked to sing first, probably because of my infamous reputation everytime we karaoke together :D. So I sang a song telling a story of Riwan’s childhood. It was a good start. They all laughed and didn’t hesitate to sing anymore.
We also took our time to snap some photos. The girls were sitting behind me, so I took theirs first.
Some of us were sleeping, and some of us pretended to sleep to avoid the necessity to sing and being photographed. LoL, if they thought they could get away so easily, they’re so wrong.
That’s Riwan in the green shirt pretending to be sleeping, Michael on his left was actually sleeping, since he hadn’t slept in three days, and he was about to do that again for another three days. Sugi on the right, seemed to be sleeping, but he was also pretending.
Apau was sitting next to me, he was surreptitiously taking Steven’s picture when he’s sleeping. Now that’s just creepy. Hahaha.
Yep! Creepy :D
Later, Cia Cia took my picture using my phone. Ermm, where is it? Let me post it… Nah.. here you go :
Time after time, we’re finally approaching Lake Toba as our bus started to climb the slanted street.
We’re seeing Lake Toba for the first time, and I didn’t forget to record pictures and a video of it. Check it out below.
