 We went to visit Kota Tua in Jakarta. Kota Tua, Jakarta is an area of Dutch colonization inheritance which was well-known as Batavia in the 17th century. At Kota Tua area you can see old buildings with architecture style influenced by the Dutch or European architecture style, Chinese and even some of them with combination of Dutch and Chinese architecture. Some of the old buildings at Kota Tua area occupied as museums by the governor of DKI Jakarta. Kota Tua is one of a very interesting place or area to visit when you travel to Jakarta since it’s a center of historical tourism object in Jakarta. Kota Tua, Jakarta, was the pioneer of the current Jakarta City. It was started from a small port at the mouth of Ciliwung River in about centuries ago. The port city was then developed became a busy international trading center. Journals from European journalists in the 16th century said that there’s a city, named Kalapa (Kelapa in Sundanese called kalapa, means coconut), seemed as the main port for a Hindu Kingdom named Sunda, with a capital of Pajajaran, located near to the current location of Bogor. Portuguese was the first fleet from Europe that came to the Kalapa Port. 

Interesting places or tourism objects you could see at Kota Tua, Jakarta are including Jakarta History Museum (which is also called as Fatahillah Museum), Wayang Museum, Fine Art and Ceramic Museum, Bank Mandiri Museum, Bank Indonesia Museum, Jakarta Kota Station (is also called Beos), Maritime Museum (Museum Bahari), Sunda Kelapa Harbor,Kota Intan Bridge, Syahbandar Tower, Batavia Café, Batavia Hotel and other old buildings.

Not only a great place to take pictures, there are lots of thing you can do in Kota Tua. Example like riding old fashioned bike which is unique. Lots of people (we also do :P) rent the bike and take a photo shoot. 

Tumpeng Cinta

Masih edisi cinta cintaan anniversary pertama kita,....
Tetiba punya ide buat bikin tumpeng buat buka puasa kita. berbekal bahan seadanya di kulkas jadilah mini tumpeng kita, tadaaa,...

Lucu kan ^^ narsis ceritanya. tumpengnya sederhana banget dengan lauk kering tempe, ayam suwir, kering teri+kacang, rolade daging, sambel goreng kentang, tumis kacang panjang+wortel, telur dadar gulung. campur aduk banget kan? karena bahannya apa aja yang di kulkas jadinya gitu deh. Cetakan tumpengnya hanya berbekal selembar kertas minyak yang dibentuk kerucut. Garnishnya pun seadanya timun potong, tomat bentuk cinta sama nori yang dibentuk inisial nama kita. 

Mari potong tumpeng dan make a wish "Semoga pernikahannya makin berkah, kita berdua selalu sehat2, bahagia, dikasi rizki yang mensejahterakan berkah dunia akhirat, dan segera ada momongan untuk melengkapi kebahagiaan pernikahan kita aamiin".

Pas paginya kita berdua sama-sama bangun kesiangan, untung masih ada nasi tumpeng n lauk buat bekal mas hari ini. Bentuknya yawn man ahahaha masi ngantuk berat kita berdua karena ga bisa tidur lelap pas malamnya. Selamat bekerja sayang, semoga Allah memudahkan ikhtiar kita untuk menyambut rizkiNya,...

Late Post NGUNDUH MANTU

the late blog post >> a week after the wedding party ,ngunduh mantu party held in my husband's home. The party held twice as well, imagine my face was tired and exposed thick make-up but alhamdulillah everything okay and happily never after.

In a traditional Javanese wedding, there is a tradition called ngunduh mantu. The word 'ngunduh' itself comes from Javanese language, which means taking the already mature.

Javanese people usually use the word ngunduh to pluck fruits that are ripe from the tree so as not to rot or be eaten bat. So the term ngunduh mantu can be understood as a procession taking the law is old enough.

In the old days, when there are ethnic Javanese brides who are getting married and then he will be brought by her husband to stay at home with the husband or the groom's family, we conducted in ngunduh mantu procession.

In addition to adaptation, ngunduh mantu is also necessary to avoid misunderstandings with neighbors. If the family including the man who still holds firm

traditional values ​​and culture of Java, the procession usually ngunduh mantu became a necessity.

Many people are still wearing modern Javanese traditions in marriage. Although in the end the bride does not have to live with her ​​husband in-laws house. Ngunduh mantu is usually done after the procession ceremony performed.

First, to introduce the bride to the family of the man. In addition, this event also as a form of 'announcement' to neighbors that the groom is already married. Second, the procession ngunduh mantu implies that the man should be protective,

guardian for his wife and children later.

This is some images from our party
