Malaysia Journey 1 (preparation)

One month before…I got call from my sister, she said that my mother and my aunt will come to see me in Malaysia for one week…only. And they also want to go to other country near to Malaysia, like Singapore as well as Thailand. So….I prepared everything for them one month before they come, and you know…actually I don’t know about everything in Singapore and Thailand, because I never go out from Indonesia before. This time, stay in Malaysia for 8 months is my first time go out of my country….IndonesiaH.

I collected information about hotel, transportation, interesting places and currency each country that we will visit, from internet and my friends, Mrs. Haizana from Malaysia, Miss Esther from Singapore and Mr. Ma from Thailand. After I know about everything and then I calculate the expense of our trip, because of our money and time is finite….so I decided that we will visit Singapore, Thailand only Hatjay (South of Thailand) not Bangkok, and of course Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Penang).

Finally...I made planning, the first we will visit Singapore, and the second is Penang (where I am stay in Malaysia), and after that we will going to Hatjay to shoping because everything cheap in Hatjay and finally we will visit Kuala Lumpur. Maybe that is make them tired, that’s why I informed my mother and my aunty before they come, to prepare theirself to doing though journey.

This is my first experience to make journey out of my country. And this experience is good experience, exciting.

And I am also survey for my journey. Before the day, I went to Kuala Lumpur (because I stay in Penang, it is 4 hours from Kuala Lumpur), So...actually I don't know much about Kuala Lumpur, I just know about Penang only...:)











This is LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal). So far I know...the LCCT is special for Airasia plane. So...remember...if you travel to Kuala Lumpur with Airasia so...your arrivel is at LCCT not at KLIA.












This is international arrival. This is place my mom and my aunt arrived.
















This is one of the bus bring you to LCCT from KL Sentral as well as KL Sentral to LCCT.















This is the schedule from KL Sentral to LCCT. You can choose Your time suitable with your flight. The bus provide since 3 am to 9 pm.











This is Kuala Lumpur Sentral, The familiar name is KL Sentral. This place is integrated complex that houses the main railway station of Kuala Lumpur.

If you want to go to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur by train, you can choose KTM from KL Sentral. You can go By bus also, take a time is 6 hours and by train take a time ten hours. But by bus is not comfortable to sleep. So...I decided going to Singapore by KTM, Ekspress Senandung Malam, ADNS Superior Night. This class provide bed room. The price only 42 RM (Ringgit Malaysa). I selected time at 10 pm, so my mom and my aunty can sleep in train.


































You can acces
from internet, and you can browsing about price and order the ticket by on line. Just follow the instruction or you can direct call and you can get your ticket. Easy...and you can choose the schedule you like. The ticket is not expensive, depend on what kind of class you choose.
















The KTM station is on the second floor of KL Sentral, you can take your ticket on the floor.





























Don't worry about public transportation in Kuala Lumpur, many bus, taxi and train provide for you, where ever you go, you can use it.

Ok...That's all my survey in Kuala Lumpur, and the next I will tell you about our journey.

I Love You Mom

"Rin….Who is person that you love in this world?"

Of course my mom, I answered, I love her than anyone in this world, I would sacrificed for her, I love her with my heart and soul, only her that I have in this world, my history began from her, I am not neglected the others, but that is true. I would die for my mom, Oh God…just take my soul, don’t take her, I need her.

"Rin…Is that way you love your mom?" Absolutely….yes I am.


My mom just ordinary woman, not parliament member, not woman activism nor politic party activism. But she is my hero, she has extraordinary struggle, made her children success without a man beside her, a man as fill in her husband that was pass away when their children in university. She arranged the money from her husband account. Extraordinary wife….


She born in Cupak, Solok at 8 Juni 1940, Grow up in Cupak with her parent with religious condition. She finished her study in Padang and be a kindergarten teacher in Cupak-Solok. She met with her husband, actually her neighbor. Married with him and follow her husband. Be a good partner till her husband pass away and after he death as well.


She is a woman that spent her time more in the kitchen, cooked for her husband that like eating very much. Spent her time for her children that need her. Waited for her husband back home, waited for him to accompany him for lunch and dinner together.


Actually….She was a kindergarten teacher, resigned after her married. She was sultry resigned for husband demand and for their children that need her as a mother. Be a good teacher for their children grown up. After her children busy with their activity. She was alquran teacher for our neighborhood. And she was caretaker and activated dharma wanita in sub district as well.


After her husband pass away, she back to her village, activated the kindergarten that she left many years ago, develop the system and also make good credibility for the kindergarten. Until the kindergarten become good, many people applied their children to the kindergarten like at the time she was a teacher there. I know….that is one of her happiness in her life.


Right now…she just enjoy the days with her grandchildren and children.


Finally, I want to say...Thak you my mom....for all your time, your love, and your sacrifice that you give me untill now.....my love never end...I love you mom...


Indonesia version


”Siapa yang engkau sayang di dunia ini Rin?”


Tentu saja aku menjawab ibu ku, aku lebih menyayangi nya daripada siapapun di dunia ini, aku berkorban untuk dirinya, aku mencintai nya dengan segenap jiwa dan raga, hanya dia yang aku punya di dunia ini, yang merupakan asal muasal ku, bukan aku meniadakan yang lain tapi begitulah adanya. Aku rela mati untuk nya, biarkan nyawa ku yang kau ambil Tuhan daripada dia, aku membutuhkan nya.


”Begitu sayang kah engkau dengan ibu mu Rin?” Iya jawab ku mantap.


Ibuku hanya wanita biasa, tidak anggota DPR dan juga tidak aktivis perempuan ataupun aktivis partai politik. Tapi beliau adalah pahlawan ku, perjuangannya luar biasa, membuat anak-anak nya berhasil tanpa memerlukan laki-laki disamping nya sebagai pengganti suami tercinta yang meninggal pada saat anak2nya dibangku kuliah, beliau hanya mengelola uang pensiun dan sedikit peninggalan tabungan dari suami tercinta. Isteri yang luar biasa....


Beliau dilahirkan di Cupak, Solok tanggal 8 Juni 1940, dibesarkan di Cupak dengan didikan agama dari kedua orang tuanya. Beliau menamatkan sekolah kejuruan di Padang dan menjadi guru TK di cupak Solok. Bertemu dengan suami tercinta, yang merupakan tetangga rumahnya...:) Menikah dan ikut suami merantau. Menjadi pendamping hidup yang setia sampai suami tercinta meninggal dan juga sesudahnya.


Beliau adalah perempuan yang lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu di dapur, memasak makanan kesenangan suami tercinta yang doyan makan. Yang menghabiskan waktu dengan anak2nya yang memerlukan bimbingannya. Yang setia menunggu suami di rumah yang selalu rapi jali, yang setia menunggu suami pulang kantor dan menemaninya untuk makan siang dan makan malam bersama.


Sebenarnya….beliau adalah guru TK, berhenti setelah menikah. Rela berhenti karena tuntutan suami dan juga demi anak-anaknya yang membutuhkan dirinya sebagai ibu mereka, menjadi guru yang terbaik untuk pertumbuhan anaknya yang sedang memerlukan bimbingan. Setelah anak-anak nya sibuk dengan urusan mereka masing-masing, beliau memberikan pelajaran mengaji untuk anak2 tetangga sekeliling rumah dan juga aktif dan memajukan kegiatan dharma wanita di RW.


Setelah suami tercinta meninggal, beliau kembali ke kampung halaman tercinta, mulai menghidupkan kembali TK yang ditinggalkannya sejak lama. Mengembangkannya kembali, mengembalikan kredibilitas TK yang sudah lama hilang, sehingga sekarang TK nya tampak hidup dan banyak orang tua yang mempercayakan anaknya untuk bersekolah di sana, seperti dulu pada saat dia mengajar di sana.


Sekarang....beliau meikmati hari-harinya bersama cucu tercinta dan juga anak2 nya.


Terimakasih ibu...atas semua waktu, cinta dan perngorbanan mu untuk ku...kasihku untuk mu tak akan hilang ditelan masa...I love you ibu.....
