Sweet Stupid Escape

"weekend ini ke Bandung yuk"
"ayuk, jadiin ya. Jangan harkos"
"fix jadiin!!"

Segampang itu ngerancanain pergi sama Shela dan Tale ke Bandung, padahal kita cewe bertiga nyetir dari Lampung ke Bandung, and literally broke. Tapi karena Tale ada acara dulu di Lampung, jadi dia stay dan nyusul naik  pesawat, jadilah tinggal gue dan Shela yang nyetir ke Bandung. Cuma berdua, perempuan, kurang jagoan apa.

Selama perjalanan gue selalu nyeletuk "kita ini ga punya otak deh, asli" ya gimana ini segila gilanya rencana yang ga direncanain gitu kan tapi tetep aja nyetir terus. Dari Bandar Lampung ke Pelabuhan Bakauheni Shela yang nyetir dan dari Pelabuhan Merak sampai Bandung giliran gue yang nyetir. This journey was beyond hilarious i couldn't help myself but laughed all the way Lampung to Bandung. Jumat pagi sehabis kuliah, jalan tetep kuliah pun tetep gaboleh bolos, gue sama Shela pergi dari Bandar Lampung, tetiba dia bilang "Ran, ke salon dulu ya gue mau ngeblow rambut. Kita boleh jalan melarat tapi rambut gue harus tetep on fire" jadilah molor 2 jam demi ngeblow rambut jackass ini baru deh agak siangan berangkat, all things gone well until i got fever when we already in Jakarta we stopped twice to get off of the car and rest for a while, a quick 5 minutes because the ache start creeping back in......... dari gue mulai diet 2 bulan (yep i already lost 10kgs, 5 kgs more!!) yang lalu i chose to stop eat carbo and stuff and i just eat fruits, literally fruits everyday. Dan ternyata gue selemah itu karena nyetir antar kota antar provinsi ini berat huhu jadilah Shela yang gabisa nyetir di tol ini ngomelin gue dan maksa untuk berhenti di rest area dan nyuruh gue makan..........nasi. Dang it, Shel. Setelah itu kita lanjut dan nyampe Bandung sekitar jam 1 malem, dan langsung tepar banget.

stoked!

"Let's take swaggie selfie, Ran!"

Shela was going to get up early, get the meals, and pack everything up while i grabbed about 4 hours of sleep, we were so extremely tired but suck it up, we're on vacation!
Greeted by the cold morning air Bandung, we met Shela's friends, Hendy and Wawan, the mans that i want to say  humongous thanks. Hendy was really really really nice........  he bought us a lot of foods when we said we're literally broke and we didn't have much money. He also bought me some medicine and he drove us around the town. Wawan was quiet cool and haven't talk much in the first time, but it didn't take too long until we all grumbled and muttered all kind of stupid jokes and sick words to each others.

good ol' days

Wawan-Rana-Shela-Hendy

Roamed the streets of Bandung in search of local foods and what-shela-said "cari aa' aa' kasep Bandung" i felt happy, beyond happy. After months of stressful seminar-penelitian-skripsi, i'm finally on days where i don't have to think about uni and stuffs. I really need this kind of trip to keep me sane, it was sweet, a movie-like stupid trip that every person needs to have once in a while.
While we waited Tale to come, we end up in local coffee shop and we bursted out in laughter and excited about our stories we tell to each other. After Tale showed up, we said goodbye to our trip savior, Hendy and Wawan, i did adore them so much to keep these 2 stupid girls save with full stomach.

Full package, Tale, Shela and i finally made it on a road through the night, spent a great deal of  our time. There were a lot of great memories, but the one we will always remember most is the spontaneity of girls, who after journeying half way across our insanity trip together, gave us a new meaning of friendship. Since freshmen year, i already close with Tale, she's like 24/7 of my life in Lampung, both from outside Lampung. We used to hate Lampung that much we even always make fun of people in here. But now we already grown up enough, i guess, to accept that we're gonna live in this city for long time. I keep my circle close and tight, that's why i only have few close friends. It's not easy to accept people in my life. I never really close with Shela even since she closes with my girls. But we ended bound each other somehow,  share secrets, and sleepover a lot in my house.

collapsed at its best with shela-alay-hello kitty-car

Sunday morning we decided to drive back to Lampung, followed by extremely exhausted feel  as we through the toll road, i was collapsed again but now with these two monkeys. We stopped in rest area and took a long sleep. After we felt completely well-rested, along the road we remembered what we did last night and it was stupid, numb and reckless that we ever done in our life. We said we're gonna remember this days as the best wonderful trip has been thus far.

I feel so blessed and thankful surrounded by good friends, good feelings and positive vibes.

what would i do without you in this dead city, girls?
