Monyet Belanda | Chubby Buddy Adventure - Part. 2

Ya! Monyet Belanda - That's how we called long-nosed monkey in here. Why Belanda? I'm not sure, probably because Dutch people was the first Caucasian people who visited Kalimantan earlier - no offense Steve, haha!
But first, before we talk about it. We went for breakfast at Depot Miki - all eyes on us! Yup, that's my first experience - all people instantly staring at us on the first step we enter the place - literary all eyes - everyone! Haha! Weird - like they never see bule before -_-! Today we had breakfast at Depot Miki. I got soto banjar and he got nasi kuning with egg and fish - taste so so.

Beaching before mangroving ;p
So, after weird staring breakfast we went to the beach - the one and only closest free beach ever! Haha! Banua Patra. It was pretty good, we walk along the beach until the rocky place. Then we are heading to mangrove! Yay! 



Mangroving for the first time!
Yes, I used to lived close this neighborhood for almost 17 years, but I never ever visit this mangrove. Funny! In fact, the first mangrove I ever visited was in Surabaya. Back to Margomulyo mangrove, this place located near the "fisherman village". The entrance is quite hidden, you have to walk pass the houses. And ask someone about the gate keeper, in this case, we ask to the local at the last house before the entrance. Don't forget to give donation, so they can take care of this place.
Soon we enter the place, it's quite relaxing. We saw small colourful crabs, some fish who like unevolve pokemon - haha! birds, and also we found snake - who just jump into the branches -_-!

 

And here's the main star of this mangrove, Monyet Belanda. Haha! We are so lucky to see them, they are soo BIG - I'm scared!!! We only see them from distance - of course because I had bad experience with monkeys. We also saw some small monkey too. The only this that we missed is the crocodile - which we can see it later in other place.

After walking around and feels like national geographic photographer, we went out to check the other side of this mangrove. We met some kids and one of them is posing for us, haha! Cool kid! 

 

So, it was pretty fun! The rest of the day we just went to the mall and watch a movie. Tomorrow, we will visit the Samboja Lodge to see the Orang Utan. So I wil see you in the next post soon - hopefully ^_^

 

speak soon,

Baby Z Summer Time | Beach Day!

Hallo! Last weekend, we went to beach for dad's family gathering. This time, we went to closest beach from our house, Kilang Mandiri Beach. We planned to leave earlier, so it's not too hot when we play at play the beach, but it was raining all morning XD. So we went there around 10 am, when the sun start shining too much.

Soon when we arrive (it's only like 10 minutes from home, by car), we look for place to put our stuff and then take Baby Z to sand! Yay! This time she didn't cry, but she still scared a bit with the water. Maybe she haven't get used to wet sand and water. The sand look more dark, because it was raining in the morning and there are some garbage around the beach.

She's not smiling, lol! Look at those faces. Seems like water bottle more interesting than the sand. She only laugh two times, it was when I say "Good! Let's play dirty!" and when my dad's friend come over and say hi.

After like 45 minutes, Baby Z start crying, maybe because she bored, so we took her back to her daddy. I was sitting down on the ground, and she can't stop pulling may hair XD. 

I think people at the beach more interesting that the phone XD this is the best selfie when made that day ;p Haha! 

Ow, I found something on the sand, I'm not sure it's a rock or not. But it have "Y" shape. Hehe! Y for Yes! Hehe..

Last but not least! Lunch time!! Finally! Haha! Baby Z was sleeping on the this table too while we eat ;p Haha! Lots of food! But I only eat this, grilled goat with lontong, veggies soup and some sausages. Nom! Nom!

It was fun day! Feels like we really have "summer holiday" :p How was your weekend?

Love, Ninu

Yoga at the Beach | Healthy Life

Last week, I had crazy yoga addict sessions. I took four classes last week (usually only twice a week), because I had to exchange this week class due to holidays. And I got one free class (the fourth class), since my yoga teacher wants me to practice more. So I join one of his classes. He said this time is yoga beach time, that's why I'm so excited. He have class in one of the biggest hotel in the city, and the hotel is right next to beach ^^.

It was an exciting Sunday! It's kinda look like private beach. Very quite and relaxing. I was trying to take panorama picture, but I can't focus and the picture end up like this XD haha!

It's only 7 people came. So, it was good! My teacher can correct everyone pose. As usual, it's mostly balancing poses.

Oh, I wish I can do yoga at the beach everyday. Hear the sound, so relaxing. And see those tree when you lay down. What a beautiful day. And the last, take picture with the all the member today!

Can't wait to go there again this tomorrow ^^. Namaste!

Love, Ninu

Family | First Beach Time on May Day!

As you know two days ago was May Day, and it means day off from work! Actually this year is our first time (in Indonesia) to get May Day as national holiday! Yay! I have many things to do on my minds for this day. But, mum ruined it in early morning. Haha! She make us (me, my sister and dad) to go to the beach with my brother and his coworker. Yes, my brother and his coworker planed to have beachy time with their family and my mum was so exciting to take Baby Z to the beach for the first time. She even say "I want to ride ATV and stuff" like ten times that morning. Haha! 

My brother and his wife go earlier, and we (me, my sister, mum, dad and of course Baby Z) leave around 9 am. We are going to Lamaru beach, which located somewhere far away from city, lol, it's about 30 minutes driving from home. 

So, we arrived there, not much people this morning. The beach is better than last time I went there. More neat and the facilities better. So we just sat under the tree and looking at the beach. 

After 1 hour, I decided to take Baby Z playing with sand. Yay! At first she was fine until I put her standing on sand. She start making weird faces, lol. And, when the water come, she freaking out! Haha! And start crying, lol! We also make her sit on sand. And again, she start crying. It's a little hard to put her on sand alone, because corals everywhere. She even have to stand on my feet in the water. Too bad we don't bring extra clothes (me, my sis or my brother), if not she will be in water. 

After playing dirty, we took her to clean up her feet. We wash her feet and again she start crying, lol. I tried to make her stand on the grass and yea, she start crying again, lol. She usually like playing water when shower time. I guess she still scared with the beach sound.

Around 12pm, the sea began to recede and I think I want to try to take Baby Z again before home. And this is how she reacted. Wet sand, no water, and not crying ^^ Yay!  But it only last for 5 minutes until she cry again, Haha! 

We left the beach early, but it was fun day :) Next time we will take her to beach near our house. So, how do you spend your May Day this year??

Love, Ninu
