My First Time In Yogyakarta
My family and I went to my grandmother’s house in Yogyakarta last month. It was my first
trip to this city. We went there two days after my sister’s gradution ceremony in Semarang.
We arrived at Yogyakarta at night. We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which
is 5 minutes away by foot to Malioboro street.
In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta.
So we decided to stay at home to recharge our energy. I walk around the neighborhood with
my sister just to experience how it is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many house, I
think, which made the space between a house and the other was so small, even the road was
also small that only bicycle and motorcycle can go through.
On the second day, all of us went to Malioboro street. We saw so many merchant with
various of product which they claim to be a traditional product of Yogyakarta. I bought some
wooden figurine and T-shirt with the word “Yogyakarta” printed on it, while my sister bought
some leather handbag. My mom and dad were busy choosing some merchandise to be brought
home when we go back.
On the third day, we went to Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to see
some historical building in Yogyakarta. We took a lot of picture there. We also took some
picture of the building so we can check it again at home. We found some place providing
Yogya traditional food around the building and we jumped in right away.
We spent the rest of our week in Yogyakarta by visiting some Shopping Malls such as
Jogja City Mall, Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall and Ambarrukmo Plaza. We realized that
Yogyakarta turned out to be very warm during the day, that was the reason why we decided to
spend more time in air conditioned building like this.

A Page from A Girl’s Diary
It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had
thought nothing would happen, but I was wrong.
That night, I was watching television with my family when I heard someone lit
fireworks in my front yard. I peeped through my window glass but could see nothing.
It was very dark outside. Then I thought it had to be my cousins who lit the
fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again and tried to concentrate on the
television since my mind raced with disappointment that no one gave something
special on my birthday.
I shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five
minutes later my mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me to come out.
Wondering what was going on, I grabbed my jacket and hurried to the front door. I
was surprised to see her bring a bag full of firework and fire drills. Next I was
surprised to see my other friend come out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful
birthday cake on her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me
who was too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously because my
whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!
A plain day, or I thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest
moment in my life. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the
simplest word.

d) Fairy tale
The Fairy Tulips
Once upon a time there was a good old woman who lived in a little house. She had in her
garden a bed of beautiful striped tulips.
One night she was wakened by the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing. She
looked out at the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulip bed, but she could see
nothing.
The next morning she walked among her flowers, but there were no signs of any one
having been there the night before.
On the following night she was again wakened by sweet singing and babies laughing. She
rose and stole softly through her garden. The moon was shining brightly on the tulip bed, and
the flowers were swaying to and fro. The old woman looked closely and she saw, standing by
each tulip, a little Fairy mother who was crooning and rocking the flower like a cradle, while in
each tulip-cup lay a little Fairy baby laughing and playing.
The good old woman stole quietly back to her house, and from that time on she never
picked a tulip, nor did she allow her neighbors to touch the flowers.
The tulips grew daily brighter in color and larger in size, and they gave out a delicious
perfume like that of roses. They began, too, to bloom all the year round. And every night the
little Fairy mothers caressed their babies and rocked them to sleep in the flower-cups.
The day came when the good old woman died, and the tulip-bed was torn up by folks who
did not know about the Fairies, and parsley was planted there instead of the flowers. But the
parsley withered, and so did all the other plants in the garden, and from that time nothing
would grow there.
But the good old woman’s grave grew beautiful, for the Fairies sang above it, and kept it
green; while on the grave and all around it there sprang up tulips, daffodils, and violets, and
other lovely flowers of spring.
