Fulan

Orang bilang.."no man is an Island", Aku pikir itu konsep yang salah, tapi ada benernya. Wrong because, I am a bloody Isle of Wight! well… at least beberapa hari yang lalu waktu aku dan dua temenku pergi to this beautiful tiny Island deket Portsmouth, true because the trip wouldn’t have been so complete without this two beautiful ladies

****************************************************************
Meet the crews:

::> Hafiza Ramly: We call her Ija, Malaysian, temen kerjanya Vita, the Driver, Rocket Scientist, Seriously, she really is Rocket Scientist, we don’t mess with her cos she loves to blow things up, She is nice but I never I understand a word she say, so I kindly ask her to speak English all the time.

_______________

::> Onny Vitadini Wulandari: Alias Vita, The X, the cook, map and mind reader and someone that I always have an argument with. Oh..she loves fish, any kind of fish, so guys…next time you date her, take this lady to sea food restaurant, you’ll gonna blow her away, oysters is her favaourite.

________________

::> Johny Deep: Everyone call me Iwan though, don’t know why but I don’t mind. The only sole male survivor in this trip, tukang angkat** barang and self-aclaimed Phothograper mainly for two reasons, first, my camera is bigger than the other, second, becuse I own a SIGNED copy of my hero David Bailey and I just bought a book called Erotique Digitale, as you might have guessed, it’s about nude photography, boy…I would love to do it someday, kalo ga nemu model, Istriku ntar kau jadiin bulan bulanan,  aerr…

It was originally idenya Ija untuk ngajak Vita ke pulau ini, I overheard this conversation a month ago and suggested to them kenapa kita nggak pergi sama dan nyewa mobil instead of naik kendaran umum, deal or no deal? deal, dan Ija punya full driving licence. Kebetulan 2 minggu ini aku ambil cuti and aku push mereka untuk bisa ngambil extra 1 hari off dari dua hari seminggu yang mereka bisaa dapet dari company mereka, so kita setuju berangkat saptu pagi dan pulang senin sore.

Car sudah di book, insurance covered, tiket ferry untuk nyebrang  dah dibeli aku udah book penginapan selam kita disana, everything seems so perfect sampe jumat malam sehari sebelum kta berangkat, Ija frantically telepon aku dan teriak denga bahasa Malaynya, all I heard was scream and …"*(&^88*&7BF56^$%^((( BIU76798-mju%^io hfg%$&*piutr"…..I said.. wait! slow down..and English please…dan ternyata driving licencenya dia baru expired 3 bulan yang lalu dan dia baru sadar sekarang…duh, mana sewa mobil dah dibayar lagi, how are we supposed to collect the car? mereka pasti ga akan ngelepasin. Anyway, akirnya kita gamble dan come up with brilliant idea, instead of nunjukin SIMnya, dia nunjukin KTP Malaysianya yang bentuknya mirip SIM, Alhamdulilah..sorted, and off we go!

Perjalanan ke Porthmouth lancar, and kita mampir untuk belanja sebentar beli snack minuman dan lain** on top apa yang sudah dibawa ama 2 cewe ini. From personal experience, setiap kali aku bepergian sama cewe, itu dari segi logistik kita pasti akan nyaman, why? karena mereka tend to bawa apa aja dan sebanyak mungkin makanan seolah2 kita akan pergi ke bulan yang disana ga ada jual makanan, contohnya kemaren, kita pergi untuk 3 hari tapi si Vita bawa bekal makanan untuk 3 orang yang akan cukup untuk satu minggu, well aku sih enjoy aja, but secara pribadi aku nggak akan mau bawa berat2 kayak gitu and the sterotype is we men like to go tanpa beban, well seminim mungkin anyway.

**************************************************************
Terus sampe di Porthmouth 1 jam earlier karena kita book ferry yang jam 1, but it’s ok karena antrinya panjang, then we get in to the ferry, park the car naik keatas untuk enjoy pemandangan.

**************************************************************
Sesampainya kita di Isle of weight, kita langsung nyari akomodasi, aku book tempat di Sandown sebelah timur pulau ini, tapi setelah kita nyampai disana kita kok kurang sreg, terus kita nyari hotel lain, dari tourist information centre kita ketemu B&B reasonably priced and  it’s in good location,  mereka nggak punya single room untuk aku, akirnya mereka kasil twin room dengan harga single, not bad.

Not much happening in the first day, sampi sana kita capek tidur 3 jam dan sorenya, kita ke pantai deket Shaklin sampai malam banget, then go to bed. Besok paginya kita sarapan, dan berangkat sekitar pukul 10, kita ke Roman Villa, terus ke Flamingo Park, beach deket Flamingo park, terus kita ke drive ke Totland bay, berhenti di beach beli Ice cream, ke beach lagi di needle, pokontya kita drive around the Island from corner to corner and top along the way, but of all places, I love this, beautifull and very high cliff dengan pemandangan ke laut, oh the pictures don’t do the justice.

Dan ini some pictures from the rest of the day, masih banyak lagi but uploadnya cuman 50 maksimal, so here they are:

***************************************************************

Dan sorenya sebelum kita pulang ke hotel, kita mampir ke Botanic garden, I loved it! cos aku bisa practice macro phography:

***************************************************************

I enjoyed that day immensely, and of course there are many things happen yang  aku ga bisa foto atau ceritakan semua, It trully was a great day. Terus malemnya kita beli fish and chips sampe di hotel jam 9 dan kita nonton France main, then we went to bed, exhausted but happy.

The following morning kita foto2 di garden belakang sebelum pulang, but hey…what is it with women and flowers?

**************************************************************
Terus kita enjoy the last break fast, naik Ferry ke Porthsmouth, keliling kota Porthmouth ke beach lagi sebentar then we went  to London

***************************************************************

Then kita nyampai London, nganterin belanja di supermarket, drop barang2nya  cewe dirumah masing masing dan balikin mobil. Sialnya, sebelum balikin mobil, kita noticed ada sedikit goresan di pintu mobil, kecil banget, but enough to made us worried kita akan bayar charge tambahan meski kita nggak yakin udah ada dari sononya atau baru, akirnya kita ada ide, kita kasil permanent marker hitam jadi ga kelihatan. Done, isi penuh bensin, then kita kembalikan, mobil dicek sebentar, all clear then kita say berpisah di teluk bayur, eh…ga ding, di stasiun West Brompton.

So long….ija said while waving her hands, kaya kita ga akan ketemu lagi, but then we would meet a few days later of course. What a weekend!!
