after a lot of postponing, after a lot of "discussions", we at last managed to schedule this trip to fall on the CNY hols. nela basma n alia did ponteng a few days (i managed not to coz i had a 10 day CNY hol) everything went fine alhamdulillah...credits to Sekolah Menengah Atas Khadijah, Surabaya.

basma forgot her passport!! ahaha. abanaha had to turn back to BA to get it. but it dint take him that long. we took the sky bus and headed to LCCT. yeah, the plane delayed - it's air asia, what do u expect? em, we were among the first board the plane, had great seats, BUT, the ppl around us werent that great. T_T somehow the stewardess did not hand over the arrival card which needs to be filled in. we managed be among the first to queue at the immigration, only to be told that we had to get the card, fill it in, then queue all over again. huhu. that took a LOT of time! oh, if i were to travel alone, i think i'll get lost coz my sense of direction is REALLY bad. i simply walked where my legs brought me. thanks to alia and basma, if it werent for them, then.....

started out with a sharing dialogue with SMAK students, those who were interested in going international - as in interested to learn and speak english well, and studying abroad. alia n i did most of the talking, answering queries. huhu. bukannya bagus sgt pun bab2 nak jawab tu, tapi hentam je laa.... looking back, only now i realise that i have more confidence talking to the public. em, ok la,mmg la setakat talking to about 30 ppl, but still!! last time mmg tak bley nak keluar satu word w/o shaking. presentation depan class pun tergagap2 sgt. but now, alhamdulillah, boleh la jugak a few sentences...
then we went around to see the masjid al-akbar - they said it's the biggest in surabaya, or even indonesia. huhu. takde la mcm besar sgt. rasanye masjid negara pun lagi besar. tu belum masuk masjid putrajaya. but anyways, it's not the size that matters. the more important thing is whether masjid tu "dihidupkan" ke tak...
frankly kitorang mcm tak berminat sgt nak pegi museum lepas tu, tp bila diorang mcm dah insist jugak nak buat camne. yg bes nyer we were kinda savED, sbb museum TUTUP! ahaha. instead we went to the shopping mall. yaY! ^__^
ptg tu nela arrived, malam we all went out to eat. heha. guess what we got after ordering ikan BAKAR? heh. ikan GORENG KOSONG. can u imagine? tanya org tu, die kata "oh ikannya digoreng dulu, kemudiannya baru dibakar". what's the point of bakar-ing when u've already fried it? so yeah, we ended up eating ikan goreng kosong kat restaurant cantik. %_%
8th feb
sepatutnya ada another sharing dialogue with the teachers, but somehow tak jadi. we ended up masuk 2 kelas n share with the students bits of this and that, especially on the importance of english and other languages, also our experiences as ex-ADNI students. diorang ni mmg sporting giler ah dalam kelas. they participate a lot! huhu. kalau kat malaysia, sure senyap jee -tapi maybe it has improved sikit kot sekarang. anyways, i actually enjoy talking to them! XD
after that, we went to "pusat wonongkromo" or something like that naik beca to shop for jeans. a tip to those who buys jeans and pants from indonesia: buy 2 sizes bigger than ur normal standard size. it'll fit u just right. indonesians mmg kecik!!! then we went shopping kat elizabeth - heaps of bags at good quality with reasonable prices. we tried to find alia's 'gendang' at mirota, but only the small, tiny sized gendang were found..
malam, we went out to galaxy mall with zulfa and her husband. haha! zulfa's husband yg picked us up dari SMAK, and on the way to zulfa's house, banyak giler miscommunication!!! kitorang gelak tak habis2!! pengurus pondok lah, ape lah. XOXO
9 & 10th feb
off to bromo. sejuk giler!!
(credits to abg amin for the picture above. yeah. thEy waLked all the way. i was riding. ^_^)
stopped by a safari on the way back to surabaya...
11th feb
we waited. n waited. n waited for umi n the others to arrive from the hotel. huhu. then at about 10am, a surprising news came: our flight was cancelled!!! we had to call in air asia and reschedule our flights. best part: the earliest flight after our original 3.20pm flight was also the last for the day. there was only 4 seats left, but there were 8 of us... most of us could not afford to go back the next day. so who's going back first? kakak, abg amin n musa decided to go back via the earlier flight at 12.30pm, and it was already 10 sumthing at that time. us 4 girls went back that evening, umi the next morning...
[masa tgh arrange who was going back first tu, i did not want to compromise n let others balik dulu - i had classes the next day, but others had it too. only after a looong think i decided to give in, but alia was like "takpelah awak balik dulu. kita compromise.." huhu. nampak sgt i put myself first in difficult situations, sbb lepas dah 50 juta kali fikir baru nak give in... atiqah, u need to learn how to give more!!!]
anyways, we went to SMA Al-Hikmah - another islamic school - but waay more sophisticated n teratur gile. everything was put into systems and procedures. VERY organized. the school compound is like super duper besar. Olympic size swimming pool, gymnasium, basketball courts, netball courts, tennis courts, u name it. adni is not even 1/15th maybe? plus they have a company running businesses just to support the school, so that parents have to pay less... it was really cool
but we were there as just a while, the was a press conference waiting at SMAK. so we got back there very quickly. hem, pak wito asked umi, alia n i to sit @ the front and give some kind of speech. but i asked nela to go sit in front. she didnt want to either. she said she could not think of anything right now, let alone make a speech in front of those ppl. but i still reFusEd. why? huhu, i dunno, but i thiNk i choose to remain silent, remain "unnoticed", stay behind others kinda thing when my mum's around. ntah. i just dont want to be someone in the front line when she's there. for the previous few days i've been talking n talking like a LoT in front of ppl, but somehow that morning i refused. n yes, i was veRy selfish. i buat dunno je. at last nela ended up being up there. i know she was really frustrated + bengang + pissed off with me, but huho. sorry miss. i just refused.
after lunch n zuhr, we went to look for alia's gendang a.k.a. jenbe. we found gendangs, big ones, but not as big as what hafiz wanted. but we bought it anyways - it is WAAAAY cheaper than in m'sia. went around for a bit more, then headed straight to the airport and alhamudlillah, arrived at LCCT safely that night.
