Sometimes ago, i went to a place called sempu with sis ndute and ferlie and loko and the gethos. Well, his friends i mean. hehe.
We were, me, ndute, and ferlie, about to watch an asian horror movie called 'three' when ndute got this short message from loko asking her to join him and the hood to sempu. a small hill in bantul.
we left the movie and followed loko and his friends. i myself has a very rare chance to join this kinda action. you know, loko has this cute jeep car, which is old enough from its look, and we went to sempu with that car. The main mission was actually off-road-ing.
yeah, loko meant to drill his car on that hill, looking for a bite of adrenalin rush. i thought that this would be fun. Well, seldom have I been interested to go to such places with such people. not that i dont like any of these people but when you got really tired and movie is your addiction i used to refuse any kind of preposition to go out.usually, the very common preposition that i would accept are bookstores, antiques, record shops, or coffee. But i dare to take this challenge and has some out door fun.
anyway, beside me, ndute, ferlie and loko, there were also gerly, jimmy, gondes and londho. they are all loko's friends. the jeep was stuffed with the eight of us and it was just fun, cause the whole time we were laughing. and to be honest, i never been to that place, so i was curious.
sempu is located on the south east part of jogja, if i am not mistaken with the direction. i cannot really explain but if you are an outsiders, just ask where wirobrajan is and where the sugarcane company named 'madu kismo' is, then you can ask another direction to sempu.
sempu is somewhat a hill. quite cornered by the landscape. with a graveyard on its east part and some forrest surrounding it. from the look of that place i could see that its always used for off road competition. there were barriers and smaller hills that made by humans and machines and nature which can be drilled by such car like loko's.
when we got there, no one was there, but we could see the remaining objects from previous competition held there.
the first 20 minutes when we got there we tried those smaller hills and barriers, but when the barriers looked very tough some of us decided to jump out from the car and better to watch everything from outside of the car. Completely becoming spectators. hehe. it felt pretty different when you were in and outside of the car.
Well, loko's car was not in his prime status, the wheels were not good, so we decided not to force the car from its limit. Then we decided to take pictures of ourselves. hehe.
the place, i mean sempu, was nice in the afternoon. it has this strange sense of warm and shady clouds. Probably because of the rain the night before.
I could see also the remaining ashes from logs that people burned when they camped there. Well, I could not see the idea of camping there while having a sight of graveyard behind you. Daaa..
We went back around 6. Singing bryan adams along the way. It was a strange feeling for me since I could not really get their jokes. But I laughed because they did sound silly. Being silly is an important aspect of giving jokes right, unless you are…ummm..well, try to name a person that gives a joke while his face strain stressfully.
In the end, we finished the day by watching ‘three.’ It was not a nice composition of spending a day right…but hell…
