Visiting The Tomb of Soekarno

I should have it posted last year considering it was last year trip with my family. It was on May 2014, my family came and visited me in Malang. My sister, Amzyella planned to go to Blitar. She wanted to visit the Tomb of Soekarno. We were blind about the roads in Malang, but the curiousity and the spirit of Dora the Explorer always win. We went to Blitar with me driving the car from Malang.
It took approximately 2 to 3 hours driving. Thanks to Google Maps for directing us, although some directions were kind of misleading. 

Our family, especially me and my sister love things about history and nature tourism. Our curiousity about history and nature tourism is really high compared to human-made places of entertainment, no matter how wonderful it might be.

The Tomb of Soekarno is placed in a very big area with Javanese style where Joglo is the icon of the building. The Tomb itself lies in Bendogerit Village, Sanawetan Sub-district, Blitar. It has been built since Soekarno as the 1st President of Indonesia passed away and buried.  The Tomb has been restored on June 21st, 1970 for the first time. The reconstruction made The Tomb of Soekarno as an icon of the city got stronger and more attracting for the visitors.

Here some pictures could give a little insight about the place.
Enjoy and don't forget to visit it some time!

Me and Hubby were riding becak. We had to take Becak from Parking area to the Tomb of Soekarno.

It’s Always God: Through Change and Growth

Unstoppable gratitude, these are the two words that define 2025, and probably 2026 and many years ahead. When I look back at early 2025, so many meaningful things happened. The second semester at UNHAN began. My children turned 10 and 8. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary, and my husband and I both turned 37. Many beautiful moments filled our days. Besides the ups, we also faced some downs. As a couple, we learned how to reconcile and find our rhythm again. We are constantly learning to manage our shortcomings so that the system we have built—our family—can keep working and growing. The second half of 2025 brought quite drastic changes. My husband moved to a different division at work, and we moved into our panggon , our new home in Halim Perdanakusuma. Our children advanced to years 5 and 3. I was no longer in my second semester at UNHAN, but I was trusted to serve as a Master of Ceremony and moderator for several UNHAN events. I also traveled to Pontianak for a few days with ...

The House That Carried Us Forward

I don’t think I’ve ever written about the government housing provided by the Air Force where we’re currently living. We’ve been here for almost half a year now—since June, to be exact. I still remember the day we left Malang for Jakarta: the kids and I ended up crying together. Strangely enough, that move also happened in December, as if the month itself always carries a bittersweet turning of seasons for our family. But life moves forward, and so must we. Our first home in Jakarta was in Lubang Buaya—a small house, roughly 108 square metres, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. My mother-in-law had lived there ever since I married her son in 2014. My husband and I bought the house using a mix of our parents’ support. Technically, we still owe my parents the remaining balance. Lol. After living in Jakarta for about two and a half years, we decided to move into what we call the Panggon , or rumah dinas—a service house provided by TNI AU. Since it isn’t a Rumah Jabatan < Official Re...

Pilih(an)

Konon, menulis jurnal adalah bagian dari proses penyembuhan. Saya mengangguk setuju. Menulis jurnal , bukan menumpahkan emosi lewat status WhatsApp sambil berharap semesta ikut marah hanya karena hati kita sedang seret. Ada jurang lebar antara refleksi batin dan pamer luka di ruang publik, meski banyak yang mengacaukannya. Awalnya saya enggan menyinggung hal ini. Namun, hidup sering bercanda—niat saya membahas hal lain langsung terpelintir hanya karena saya menanggapi sebuah status WA. Rupanya respons saya tidak bertaut dengan ekspektasinya. Jadilah ia bereaksi—riuh, garang, seperti hendak menerkam sesuatu yang bahkan bukan ancaman. Saya hanya tersenyum tipis. Mungkin saya memang salah frekuensi. Ternyata, memberi perhatian pun bisa dianggap provokasi oleh orang yang sedang tidak selaras gelombang batinnya. Dan ya, mungkin energi saya sedang terlalu lincah; spontanitas saya memercik, lalu memicu dinamika yang membuat saya menghela napas dan membatin, “Ya ampun… ups .” Saya tak henda...
