Yogyakarta After Quake

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Dear Friends,

Gramedia_book_store_jl_sudirman_2The earthquake happend on May 27th, 2006 in Yogyakarta and the nearby was very terrible. Yogyakarta where my father and sister live…. l can not imagine… the city was badly destroyed.. The quake cause severe demage to homes and buildings. I took a pic shows the Gramedia Book store was destroyed.. at Jl Sudirman.

My_houseThanks God, l am still meet my father and sister when l reached home in Sunday morning. Me, Jenny and my brother were driving car back to Yogyakarta. I bring some food and water into my car. I could not contact them in Saturday all the communication was down. But l was lucky in the afternoon my father texted me, to inform me that they were ok. My father and sister are safe. My house is still ok.. and my carport become a emergency kitchen for my neighbor and people arround. Some my our neighbor was moving out to their family in other city. Because Yogya was still follow by tectonic moving. There was an issue about tsunami following the quake, and that was the terrible moment.. people was panic trying to safe their family…

I am very sad to see Yogya.. most part of this city was destroyed. And l can not just sitting here, in my office. I am trying to help those people… l need to manage deliver some logistic and food supply to people there. There are homeless and need the primary need. So, please friends, no matter how much Rupiah that we’ll collect is very value for them. You can contact me for this case.  And please pray for dead people.

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Picture_025See this picture…. its a beautiful blue sea of Padang Bai, Bali. I always like to getaway… even in the short time, such as in the weekend. I was to Bali in the early  May. The weather is nice, not much rain. It was rain when l reach Bali in the friday night and in the sunday morning. But still l was going swimming in the sunday morning in the beach. Coz, its just across of my bungalow… its nice….

I was go diving and snorkling in saturday morning… thats perfect day…. and the under sea view of Padang Bai was so great… I feel like l want to touch all the fishes… the coral everything… ahhhh…. I know it’s taken 3 hours in the sea, and l enjoy it… And it makes me tan… hahah secara gue bukan bule gitu, yah gelap deh kulit gue…. But thats okay….
I meet new friends there.. they are from Australia and Holland… we were in same boat. We made into a pair to dive… we were so amaze with those treasure…

Wish l can go diving again… in other time, in other place… l’ve got snorkling in Anyer, but it was not good as Padang Bai…
