Rahasia

simpan saja di dalam hatimu
tak perlu semua diungkapkan
segala apapun yang akan kau rasakan sendiri
hanya kau yang rasakan

lembar kejadian yang telah terjadi
yang tak semua dapat kau ceritakan
ada batas yang masih menyimpan rahasia
kenyataan tak bisa diungkapkan

perjalanan dirimu untukmu
jadikanlah rahasia simpanlah di hati
tak semua orang bisa mengerti
simpanlah ceritamu

simpanlah sukamu
simpanlah dukamu
simpanlah rahasiamu
jangan katakan semua yang tak mungkin untuk dikatakan

(by Plastik, band keren yang udah bubar)








Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone

At the mosque - 2

Maybe there are hundreds of mosque in every city in Indonesia. From small one which could hold 10-20 people, to big mosque that could accomodate hundreds of people. Also, there is one biggest mosque in each city, usually named Masjid Jami or Masjid Agung.

These are some snapshot of Masjid Jami in Pasuruan, about 60 km from Malang






BTW, also check my post about mosque part 1

Pasar Minggu (Sunday Market)

In Malang, beside the regular traditional market that open daily, there is Pasar Minggu (Sunday Market) that open only on Sunday from 6 am to 12 am.

In Pasar Minggu people don't always come to shop. Some just walk around, either to see or to be seen :)

Night Train- part 1

Last month I had a business trip to Jakarta.

Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, located on west side of Java island. While Malang, a small town where I live, is on the East Java province.

There are several transportation available, such as bus, train, or by air. One way train ticket from Malang to Jakarta cost at about IDR 200,000 (US$ 22). Cheap enough to compare with airfare of IDR 700,000 (US$ 76). By bus is slightly more expensive than train.

I chose to go by train. The Gajayana Express leaving Malang at 04:00 pm, and scheduled to arrive at Jakarta at 08:00 am the next day. It's a quite long journey, about 16 hours on the railway.

So I also packed my Pentax MX with Pentax 50mm / f1.7, loaded with Ilford HP5 Plus rated at ASA 1600.

These are some snapshot on the train. Enjoy.
