sepa wohooo. hem so sepa island is an island located about 90 minutes north of jakarta. and believe me. it is a B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. beach. yes people, the beach is still pristine and clear. and it is still in JAKARTA. (kinda contradicts with jakarta's shore itself eh?) the color is like reallly blue-y. white sands and pristine waters. soothing. very soothing. esp. when its sunset. ohhh the oceans are like sparkling in golden-orange rays, and the neighboring islands seems like mirages. oh and i havent gone into the best part yet.
SNORKELING. AAAAA IM CRAVING FOR MORE PLEASE I LOVE THAT BEACH OHMYGOOOODDD.
okay okay im back to my senses. thats kinda the summary. here's the story. oh yeah. i went there for a biology field trip.
so we went to dermaga 19 in ancol on friday. then theres the trip to the island. the sea near jakarta is like eww. black, murky, smells like sewers, and theres like a lot of strange insect like creatures. about 45 minutes later, the oceans turned blue. arrival, i was damn surprised. the seafloor is like 5 meters below, but i can still see corals there. DUDE THE WATERS ARE SOO CLEAR.
then theres the experiment, yadda yadda yadda, done. freetime!
i snorkled with elrich for like 2 hours, then i canoed with elrich, then i laid on the beach with elrich, i had lunch with elrich. i know what you are thinking people, we are a gay couple just friends.
okay the first day i didnt get any sunburn. but i got a long cut on my calves. damn corals -_-. but a friend of mine, jeffry, stepped on a sea urchin. and his legs are kinda paralyzed for a day. glad he's okay though.
the second day, theres another experiment. straight after the experiment, me and my teacher captured a few sea urchins. we brought them to the shore, snapped all of its needles, then gut it, and EAT IT RIGHT THERE. hows the taste? hmm i cant stand the fishy taste, but its oh soooooo delicious. and then MORE SNORKELING. this time, i went to the 5 meter depth point. and the view is oh so amazing. i cant describe it. its just too beautiful to express with words.
we went back to ancol, departing at 2pm and arrived at about 3.45pm. then i waited about an hour or so for my dad to pick me up. from marina, i went straight to pantai carnaval to see java rockin'land festival. the way there was soooooo jammed so i walked from bandar jakarta to pantai carnaval. mileage: 1.5km.
there, i waited for vella, rina, and deta. after waiting for quite a long time, i was kinda a bit furious. dude, im exhausted from sepa already. and i walked for a mile alone. so they wanted me to pick them up at bandar jakarta. for the sake of their safety, i went back. what really pushed my buttons was the fact that they're strolling while im rushing. mileage: 3km. so on the way back to pantai carnaval, i didnt say a word to them. but i did sell my excess ticket to a calo. mileage: 4.5 km. so i didnt talk to them until we are in the crowd watching secondhand serenade. the fact that i watched secondhand serenade didn't really amuse me. what really made me happy was the fact that who am i watching it with. who? find it yourself people! thats privacy! *teehee.
after watching it, we walked back to bandar jakarta mileage: 6km. we ate at bandar jakarta, and the bill kinda surprised me. the fish was 200k. zzz. and the sum of others are about 100k. that includes crabs, scallops, clams, and rice. yeah, we went home after that. it was about 1am at that time. the girls slept at the back, and i, was guiding the driver. he was kinda new to ancol so i guided him. zzz.
i was home at about 1.30am, took a shower, and crashed. ahhh, home sweet home.
well then thats all folks! adieu!
