back at it again with another post!

so around december last year me and some of my uni classmates went to the beach together! fun fact: i actually sneaked out for this lmao kids don't try this at home i am a bad bad bad influence for everyone. this specific beach is called Sendiki and second fun fact: is one i've been to when i had a class photoshoot in year 12! let's go.

warning: will probably be longer than my usual shit entries.

me sneaking out was all possible because i was conveniently left home alone on thursday, friday + the weekends as we planned to go on the saturday, leaving sunday to rest. upon hearing that i was already home alone on thursday, my uni close mates decided to crash my place for the night and it was probably the best night i've ever had the pleasure of going through up to that point of my life. it was friday the next day and we didn't have class until late arvo so we literally just lazed around blasting music watching endless movies and eating junk until it was time for class, which we attended together (oh the feels omg i love my friends sm). then we all went to our individual homes to pack for the beach trip and agreed to meet up back at my place. a friend decided to prank us though, the lil shit. she suddenly told us she couldn't go bc her brother and parents were mad at her but next minute she showed up on my doorstep lmao. at around 10-11pm we all headed to a meeting point where we gathered with the rest of our classmates and headed off to a friend's place to eat hehe.

while we were at my friend's place we passed midnight and it so happened to be one of my close friend's birthday! we got a fellow friend to go buy candles (literally the ones you use when you have a blackout lol) and lit them to surprise her! i know it's not much but at least we celebrated her birthday at the stroke of midnight hehe. after that it was safe for the rest of us to continue our journey to the beach! let's go.

we left at around 1am and boy did a lot of things happen on the way. to start off there was a total of 24 people which meant 12 motorbikes all lined up so it was truly inevitable that a few of us would get left behind so far LOL. the ones leading the way had to stop a couple of times for the few left behind to catch up, or we would honk each other if we wanted them to stop to the side of the road or just slow down. it was all teamwork, really, and i couldn't be happier to witness something so moving (yes i found that moving stfu). there was a time when we went through the woods and the air suddenly became ominously warm and i pointed it out to the guy i was with when suddenly i heard honks and next thing i knew there were two people who fell from their motorbike in the middle of the road. naturally we all stopped and helped them get up and dust off while asking what happened and how they fell. that whole situation and chronology felt iffy because 1-the air suddenly became warm and we were in the middle of a forest; 2-the guy who drove the fallen motorbike had no idea how he fell because he was sure he hadn't lost his balance a tiny bit; 3-the direction in which his motorbike fell was somehow facing towards the forest (as though something made them head to the forest) and that itself is already creepy considering how they fell on a U turn and if anything the motorbike should've faced towards the road, not the opposite direction; 4-we felt like the driver wasn't himself until he was able to get up by himself (which took quite some time coz i imagine he was shocked and couldn't move off the middle of the road); 5-how my friend noticed that there was a lit up house near the U turn but after the incident the lights were turned off so the whole atmosphere became pitch black. but anyways, this is about the beach trip not the supernatural forces of a forest in the middle of nowhere haha let's carry on.

nearing the beach, we had to go through shit rocky-muddy off-road (that would've been perfectly fine if it weren't for the rain the day before) and most of our motorbikes couldn't handle going through such a road LOL. the girls all had to get off and walk along the mud, being careful so to not slip and fall; and the guys all helped each other with their motorbikes which were stuck in a pool of mud occasionally. to the sides of the road were giant rice fields and about 2-3 bikes actually entered the rice field because of a wrong turn and a slippery mud. some bikes even flipped 180 degrees and made the guys legit fall to the rice field lmao. it was entertaining to watch but it must've been v stressful to the guys, soz. it was also about 3-4am by this point and at one point i looked up at the sky and it was sooo full of stars!!! so breathtaking. how contradictory to what we were going through at that moment haha.

the beach was somehow different to what it looked like the last time i went (a year prior) and the sea water wasn't as blue as it was. now that i think about it, it must've been because i visited in midday (sun's up and no clouds were seen) and it was around october (dry season) whereas this time it was early in the morning and during the rainy season. but no matter, everything still looked beautiful as ever! there weren't a lot of people either so that was a bonus point.

we ended up heading back at around 10-11am and i got home at 3pm-ish. brought 2 of my friends along with me to my place where we all fell asleep right when we stepped in the house lol we were exhausted to the core, twas a long night-day and we haven't slept at all. cheers to us though!

the next school day, however, everyone was in pain.

LOL

worth it.

next up - suroboyo carnival!
